Independent Auditors' Report
To Laster Tech Co., Ltd.:
Audit opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Laster Tech Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheet for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements changes in equity and cash flows for January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024, and notes to the consolidated financial statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies).
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024 in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
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 Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Consolidated Financial Statements. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries 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 2025 Consolidated Financial Statements of the Company and its subsidiaries
- 4 -
according to the professional determination thereof. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters in the 2025 Consolidated Financial Statements of the Group are specified below:
Recognition of sales revenue
In 2025, the sales revenue of the Group from major customers was NT$4,715,617 thousand, accounting for 55% of the sales revenue. The impact on the consolidated financial statements is material; hence we have identified the occurrence of the aforementioned 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.
- The above sales revenue is selected and checked, and the original orders, related statements of account and shipping documents are reviewed.
- Send letters to inquiry about the balance of accounts receivable of the above customers at the end of the period. If no reply is received, check the collection status of such accounts.
Other Matters
Laster Tech Co., Ltd. has prepared the parent company only financial statements for 2025 and 2024. We have audited these statements and issued an unqualified opinion. Auditors' Reports issued by other accountants are on record for reference.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements.
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC recognized by the Financial Supervisory Commission and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, the management is also responsible for assessing the ability of the Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
- 5 -
Those in charge of governance (including the Auditing Committee) are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Group.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing principles generally accepted will always detect a material misstatement in the consolidated 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 consolidated 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 risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- 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 Group.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group 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 consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
6 -
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements (including the notes to the statements), and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit, and we are responsible for forming an audit opinion on the Group.
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 Group’s 2025 consolidated 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.

Note 2: The Financial Supervisory Commission announced on September 25, 2025, that enterprises in Taiwan shall apply IFRS 18 starting January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted upon approval of IFRS 18 by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” and related consequential amendments
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements.” The main changes include:
-
The Group shall assess whether it has specific main business activities, such as investing in particular types of assets or providing financing to customers, and, based on such assessment, classify income and expense items in the statement of profit or loss into operating, investing, financing, income tax, and discontinued operations categories.
-
17 -
-
The statement of profit or loss shall present operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income tax, as well as subtotals and totals of profit or loss.
-
Guidance is provided to strengthen aggregation and disaggregation requirements: the Group shall identify assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows arising from individual transactions or other events, and classify and aggregate them based on shared characteristics, so that each line item presented in the primary financial statements has at least one similar characteristic. Items with dissimilar characteristics shall be disaggregated in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Group shall label such items as “other” only when a more informative description cannot be identified.
-
Enhancing disclosures of management-defined performance measures: when the Group communicates publicly outside the financial statements, or conveys management’s view of a particular aspect of the Group’s overall financial performance to users of the financial statements, it shall disclose in a single note to the financial statements information about management-defined performance measures, including a description of the measure, how it is calculated, a reconciliation to subtotals or totals specified by IFRS Accounting Standards, and the effects of related reconciling items on income tax and non-controlling interests.
In addition, the following consequential amendments are made to IAS 7:
-
When the Group uses the indirect method to prepare cash flows from operating activities, operating profit or loss shall be used as the starting point for reconciliation.
-
Interest and dividends received by the Group shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. If the Group determines that it has specific main business activities, it shall consider the nature of dividend income, interest income, and interest expense presented in the statement of profit or loss in order to determine the classification of dividends received, interest received, and interest paid in the statement of cash flows. However, each of the above cash flows shall be classified into only one category of activities in the statement of cash flows.
Except for the above-mentioned effects, up to the approval and release date of the consolidated financial statements, the Group assessed the effects of the amendments to other standards and interpretations on the consolidated financial position and consolidated financial performance on a continuous basis. The relevant effects will be disclosed after the assessment.

IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(I) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS Accounting Standards approved and released by the FSC.
(II) Basis of preparation
Except for financial instruments measured at fair value and the net defined benefit asset recognized as the fair value of plan assets less the present value of defined benefit obligations, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis.
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: refer to quoted prices in an active market for identical assets or liabilities that are accessible on the measurement date (before adjustment).
- Level 2 inputs: refer to the inputs, other than the quoted prices included in Level 1, that are observable for assets or liabilities directly (namely, the price) or indirectly (namely, presumed from the price).
- Level 3 inputs: refer to the inputs that are not observable for assets or liabilities.
(III) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
- assets held mainly for the purpose of trading;
- assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and
- cash or cash equivalents (excluding those that are restricted for being used for exchange or settlement of liabilities within 12 months after the balance sheet date).
Current liabilities include:
- liabilities held mainly for the purpose of trading;
- liabilities to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date, (irrelevant whether any long-term re-financing or payment re-arrangement agreement has been completed after the balance sheet date and before the date of release of financial statements; such liabilities are still current liabilities); and
-
Liabilities for which there is no substantive right to defer settlement beyond the balance sheet date by at least 12 months.
-
19 -
Assets or liabilities that are not the above-mentioned current assets or current liabilities are classified as non-current assets or non-current liabilities. If the terms of a liability allow it to be settled, at the counterparty’s option, by transferring the Group’s equity instruments, such terms do not affect the classification of the liability as current or non-current, provided that the Group classifies the option as an equity instrument.
(IV) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements are financial statements including the Company and the entities controlled (subsidiaries). The operating profits and losses of acquired or disposed subsidiaries from the acquisition date to the disposal date in the current period are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are adjusted to have their accounting policies consistent with those of the Group. All the transactions, account balances, profits, and expenses/losses between entities are eliminated during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. The total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is attributable to the owner of the Company and the non-controlling equity even though this results in the non-controlling equity having a deficit balance.
Changes to the Group’s equity ownership in the subsidiaries are treated as equity transactions if the changes do not result in loss of control. The book values of the Group and the non-controlling equity are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative equity in the subsidiaries. The difference between the adjusted amount of the non-controlling equity and the fair value of any paid or received consideration is directly recognized as equity and attributable to the owner of the Company.
For details of the shareholding ratio and operating items of subsidiaries, please refer to Note 13 and Tables 7 and 8.
(V) Foreign currency
During the preparation of each entity’s financial statements, transactions using currencies other than the entity’s 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,
- 20 -
when changes in the fair value are recognized as other comprehensive income, the exchange differences arising therefrom are stated as the same.
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 the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company and 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 Group disposes of its entire interest in a foreign operation, or disposes of part of its interest in a subsidiary that is a foreign operation and loses control, or if, after disposing of a foreign operation, the retained interest is a financial asset accounted for in accordance with the accounting policies for financial instruments, all cumulative exchange differences related to that foreign operation shall be reclassified to profit or loss.
If a partial disposal of a subsidiary that is a foreign operation does not result in a loss of control, the accumulated exchange differences are reattributed to the non-controlling interests of that subsidiary on a pro rata basis and are not recognized in profit or loss. 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.
(VI) Inventory
Inventory includes raw materials, materials, finished goods work in process, and real estate held for sale. 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 estimated cost needed to complete the work and the estimated cost needed to complete the sale. The weighted average method is used to calculate the inventory cost.
(VII) Property, plant and equipment
- 21 -
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 Group 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.
(VIII) Intangible assets
- 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 Group 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
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.
(IX) Impairments of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets
The Group 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
- 22 -
amount of the asset is estimated. When the recoverable amount of individual assets cannot be estimated, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the assets belong. Shared assets are allocated to individual cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and those not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication 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.
(X) Financial instrument
All financial assets and all financial liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet when the Group 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 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) Type of measurements
- 23 -
The financial assets held by the Group are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets measured at amortized cost, and debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income.
A. Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are mandatorily to be measured at fair value through profit and loss. Financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss include equity instrument investments not designated at fair value through other comprehensive income, and debt instrument investments that do not meet the criteria for classification as measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Dividends and interest arising therefrom are recognized in other income and interest income, respectively, while gains or losses arising from remeasurement are recognized in other gains and losses. For the determination of fair value, please refer to Note 31.
B. Financial assets measured at after-amortization cost
When the Group’s invested financial assets meet both of the following two conditions, they are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost:
a. The financial assets held under a business model with the purpose of holding these assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
b. The contractual terms generate cash flows on a specific date that are solely payments of principal and interest.
After the initial recognition, the financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables (excluding value-added tax and employee benefits), other financial assets and refundable deposits) are measured based on the amortized cost equal to the total book value 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.
- 24 -
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.
Financial assets are credit-impaired when the issuer or debtor has experienced major financial difficulty, default, the debtor is likely to file for bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, or financial difficulties that cause the active market of the financial asset to disappear.
Cash equivalents include time deposits that are highly liquid, convertible into fixed amounts of cash at any time with little risk of value changes within three months from the date of acquisition, and are used to meet short-term cash commitments.
C. Debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income
Debt instrument investments held by the Group are classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income if they meet both of the following conditions:
a. They are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
b. The contractual terms generate cash flows on a specific date that are solely payments of principal and interest.
Debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value. Changes in the carrying amount attributable to interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains or losses, and impairment losses or reversal gains are recognized in profit or loss,
- 25 -
while other changes are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon disposal of the investment, the cumulative gain or loss is reclassified to profit or loss.
(2) Impairment of financial assets and contract assets
At each balance sheet date, the consolidated entity assesses impairment losses based on expected credit losses for financial assets measured at amortized cost (including accounts receivable), debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, finance lease receivables, and contract assets.
Allowances for losses on accounts receivable, finance lease receivables, and contract assets 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.
For the purpose of internal credit risk management, the Group, 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
- 26 -
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 Group 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. Upon derecognition of debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and any cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss.
- Equity instruments
The debt and equity instruments issued by the Group 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 Group 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
(1) Subsequent measurement
Except for the following, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method:
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include those held for trading.
Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at fair value. Interest arising therefrom is recognized in finance costs, while other gains
- 27 -
or losses arising from remeasurement are recognized in other gains and losses.
For the determination of fair value, please refer to Note 31.
(2) 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 Group 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 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 option component embedded in the convertible bonds issued by the Company does not meet the criterion of settlement by exchanging a fixed amount of cash or another financial asset for a fixed number of the Group's own equity instruments; accordingly, it is classified as a derivative financial liability.
- 28 -
At initial recognition, the derivative financial liability component of the convertible bonds is measured at fair value, while the initial carrying amount of the non-derivative financial liability component is the residual amount after separating the embedded derivative. In subsequent periods, the non-derivative financial liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, while the derivative financial liability is measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in profit or loss. Transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance of convertible bonds are allocated to the non-derivative financial liability component (included in the carrying amount of the liability) and the derivative financial liability component (recognized in profit or loss) in proportion to their relative fair values.
(XI) Revenue recognition
The Group 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.
Revenue from merchandise sales
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 or after the customers picks up the merchandise and transfer ownership control and the Group has personally verified 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. The receipts in advance from the sale are recognized as contract liabilities before the delivery of the products.
(XII) Leases
The Group assesses whether an agreement is (or contained) a lease on the date of entering into the agreement.
- The Group is the lessor
A lease is classified as finance leases when almost all the risks and returns attached to the ownership of assets are transferred to the lessee according to the terms and conditions. All the other leases are classified as operating leases.
Under finance leases, lease payments include variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate. The net lease investment is measured by the sum
- 29 -
of the present value of the lease payment receivable and the unguaranteed residual value plus the initial direct cost and presented as financial lease receivable. Finance lease income is allocated to each accounting period to reflect the fixed rate of return on the Group’s net investment outstanding in respect of leases.
When the lease includes both land and building elements, the Group assesses whether each element is classified as a finance lease or an operating lease based on whether almost all the risks and rewards attached to the ownership of each element have been transferred to the lessee. For lease payments, the fair value of the lease rights of land and buildings on the contract establishment date to land and buildings based on the respective proportion. If the lease payment can be reliably allocated to these two elements, each element is treated according to the applicable lease classification. If the lease payments cannot be reliably allocated to these two elements, the overall lease is classified as a financial lease; however, if these two elements clearly meet the criteria for an operating lease, the overall lease is classified as an operating lease.
- The Group is the 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 (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 consolidated 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 (including fixed payments). If the interest rate implicit in a lease could be readily determined, the lease payments were discounted at the interest
- 30 -
rate. When such interest rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate of interest is used.
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 consolidated balance sheet.
(XIII) Cost of borrowing
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.
(XIV) Government subsidy
A government grants is recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to the grant and the grant will be received.
The grant is recognized as income over the period necessary to match them with the related costs, for which they are intended to compensate, on a systematic basis. Government grants for which the acquisition of non-current assets in a purchase or building manner or in other manners by the Group is necessary are recognized as deferred income and transferred to profit or loss on a reasonable and systematic basis over the useful life of the relevant assets.
If the government grants are used to make up the expenses or losses that have occurred, or immediately support the finance of the Group and there is no future cost, such grants are recognized in profit or loss during the period when they can be received.
- 31 -
A government grant may take the form of a transfer of a non-monetary asset, for the use of the Group. In these circumstances it is usual to assess the fair value of the non-monetary asset at that fair value.
For government loans obtained by the Group at below-market interest rates, the difference between the proceeds received and the fair value of the loan calculated using the prevailing market interest rate is recognized as a government grant.
(XV) Employee welfare
- 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 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.
(XVI) Share-based payment agreement
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 adjust. If the amount is immediately vested on the grant date, it is
- 32 -
recognized as expenses on that date. The Group may reserve employee share options. The grant date is the date of shares subscribed by employees.
(XVII) Income tax
The income tax expenses are the total of current and deferred taxes.
- Income Tax of the current period
The Group 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, or loss carryforwards can be utilized.
Taxable temporary differences generated from investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements are recognized in deferred tax liabilities except where the Group 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
- 33 -
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 Group 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.
In developing significant accounting estimates, the Group incorporates the potential effects of inflation and fluctuations in market interest rates into key assumptions, including estimates of cash flows, growth rates, discount rates, and profitability. Management will continue to review these estimates and underlying assumptions.
The accounting policies, estimates and basic assumptions adopted by the Group have been evaluated by the management of the Group and are free of significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions uncertainty.

VIII. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
Debt instrument investments
| December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Non-current | |
| Foreign bonds | $181,032 |
The Group invests in foreign bonds for medium- to long-term strategic purposes and expects to generate returns through long-term investment. Management of the Group believes that recognizing short-term fluctuations in the fair value of such investments in profit or loss would be inconsistent with the aforementioned long-term investment strategy; therefore, these investments are designated at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Group purchased 30-year corporate bonds issued by the Public Investment Fund in March 2025 with a coupon rate of 5.375% and an effective interest rate of 5.939%, 30-year government bonds issued by Saudi Arabia in July 2025 with a coupon rate of 5.750% and an effective interest rate of 5.880%, 30-year corporate bonds issued by Saudi Arabian Oil Company in July 2025 with a coupon rate of 5.750% and an effective interest rate of 5.998%, 30-year corporate bonds issued by Aflac Incorporated in August 2025 with a coupon rate of 4.750% and an effective interest rate of 5.452%, 30-year corporate bonds issued by Apple Inc. in August 2025 with a coupon rate of 4.650% and an effective interest rate of 5.006%, and 30-year corporate bonds issued by 3M Company in November 2025 with a coupon rate of 5.700% and an effective interest rate of 4.471%.
The Group invests only in debt instruments with credit ratings of investment grade or above (inclusive) and that are assessed as having low credit risk in the impairment assessment. Credit rating information is provided by independent rating agencies. The Group continuously monitors external credit rating information to oversee changes in the credit risk of its debt instrument investments, and also reviews other information, such as bond yield curves and significant information about the issuers, to assess whether the credit risk of the debt instrument investments has increased significantly since initial recognition. As of December 31, 2025, the Group assessed that no expected credit losses were recognized on the aforementioned debt instruments.

Notes and accounts receivable
The Group's average credit period for merchandise sales is 30 to 150 days, and no interest is accrued on accounts and notes receivable. To mitigate credit risk, the Group'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 notes and accounts receivable. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amounts of notes and accounts receivable on a case-by-case basis on the balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment losses have been provided for non-recoverable notes and accounts receivable. Accordingly, the management of the Company believes that the Group's credit risk has been significantly reduced.
The Group recognized the allowance for losses of notes and accounts receivable based on lifetime expected credit loss. 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 Group'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 notes and accounts receivable.
If there is evidence that a counterparty is facing serious financial difficulties and the Group cannot reasonably expect to recover the amount, the Group will directly write off the relevant notes and accounts receivables but will continue the collection. The recovered amount is recognized in profit or loss.
The allowance for loss of notes and accounts receivable measured by the Group based on the allowance matrix is as follows:
December 31, 2025
| Not Past Due | 1 to 90 days past due | 91 to 180 days past due | 181 to 365 days past due | Over 365 days past due | Total | |

| Current | $ 11,602 | $ 17,646 |
| Non-current | - | 12,915 |
| $ 11,602 | $ 30,561 |
Regarding the finance lease agreements entered into by the Group, all leases are denominated in RMB and have a finance lease term of 13 to 14.5 years.
The interest rate implicit in the lease for the lease periods cannot be changed after determination, and the interest rates implicit in the lease were 6.55% to 7.05% per annum for December 31, 2025 and 2024.
In addition to the minimum lease payments, the finance lease agreement also contains contingent rental clauses which allow the Group to charge contingent rents if the lessee's energy prices increase by more than a specified percentage.
The Group measures the allowance for losses of finance lease receivables based on lifetime expected credit loss. Finance lease receivables are secured by equipment leased. As of the balance sheet date, there were no overdue finance lease receivables. Meanwhile, taking into account the past default history of the counterparty, the future development of the industry related to the lease target, and the value of the collateral, the Group considered that the above finance lease receivables are not impaired.

The Company of the Group is exposed to the following risks due to the pension system under the "Labor Standards Act":
-
Investment risk: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor separately has invested the labor pension fund in domestic (foreign) equity and debt securities, and bank deposits. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, the profit generated from the Group’s plan assets shall be calculated with an interest rate not below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with 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 present value of the defined benefit obligation of the Company of the Group was calculated actuarially by a qualified actuary. The major assumptions on the date of measurement are as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 1.40% | 1.50% |
| Anticipated salary increase rate | 2.00% | 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:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | ||
| Increase by 0.25% | ($ 219) | ($ 219) |
| Decrease by 0.25% | $ 226 | $ 227 |
| Anticipated salary increase rate | ||
| Increase by 1% | $ 933 | $ 941 |
| Decrease by 1% | ($ 837) | ($ 847) |
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.
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |

| Expected contribution within 1 year | $ - | $ - |
| Average maturity of defined benefit obligations | 10.3 years | 10.6 years |

(III) Retained earnings and dividend policy
The Company's shareholders' meeting held on May 28, 2025 resolved to approve amendments to the Articles of Incorporation, revising the policies for the distribution of employees' and directors' remuneration. In accordance with the Articles of Incorporation, the Company shall appropriate employees' remuneration at a rate of not
less than 5% to 15% and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration at a rate of not more than 3%, based on the profit before tax for the year prior to the distribution of such remuneration. An amount no less than 30% of the remuneration of employees described in preceding paragraph shall be appropriated as the remuneration of entry-level employees.
According to the earnings distribution policy stipulated in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation prior to amendment, net profit after tax of the Company after final accounts, if any, shall first cover the accumulated losses (including the adjustment of the amount of undistributed earnings). Pursuant to law, 10% of the net profit after tax shall be set aside as legal reserve, except for when the accumulated legal reserve has reached the Company’s total paid-in capital; followed by the allocation or reservation of special reserve pursuant to the law or regulations. The Board of Directors shall prepare a motion for earnings distribution for the remaining earnings coupled with the opening undistributed earnings (including the adjustment of the amount of undistributed earnings) to be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting for resolution on the distribution of dividends to shareholders. For the remuneration policy of employees and directors stipulated in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, please refer to Note 25(8) Remuneration to employees and directors.
In addition, according to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the dividend policy is correspondent to the Company profitability, capital structure and future operational needs. Not less than 12% of distributable earnings will be paid to shareholders each year; however, earnings will not be distributed if the accumulated distributable earnings are lower than 20% of the Company’s paid-in capital. 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.
When appropriating special reserve for the net deduction of other equity accumulated in the previous period, the provision is only made for the undistributed earnings of the previous period.

| Weighted-average number of common shares and diluted | 120,649 | 127,387 |
earnings per share used for calculating earnings per share
When the Company selects to distribute remuneration to employees in stocks or cash, it is assumed that the employee’s remuneration is paid with stocks when the diluted EPS is calculated. The weighted average outstanding common stocks are added when the potential common shares have diluting capability to calculate the diluted EPS. The diluting capability of the potential common shares is referenced in the next year when the Board of Directors resolved to calculate the diluted EPS prior to payment of the employee’s remuneration with stocks.
In 2025, due to the anti-dilutive effect of the Company’s 6th outstanding domestic unsecured convertible bonds after conversion, they were not included in the calculation of diluted earnings per share.
XXVIII. Share-based payment agreement
On August 9, 2024, the Board of Directors resolved to issue new shares for capital increase in cash, and in accordance with the Company Act, 600,000 shares were reserved for subscription by employees, and the number and price of the shares to be subscribed by employees was confirmed in November 2024. If the employees under-subscribe or waive the subscription, the Chairman shall negotiate with specific persons to subscribe for the shares at the issuing price.
The Company granted 600 thousand shares of employee stock options in cash above. The Black-Scholes valuation model was used and inputs used in the valuation model are as follows:
| November 2024 | |
|---|---|
| Stock price on grant date (NT$) | NTD 37.70 |
| Exercise price (NT$) | NTD 32 |
| Anticipated volatility | 31.04% |
| Duration | 0.15 years |
| Expected dividend rate | 0% |
| Risk-free interest rate | 1.37% |
The expected volatility rate is the expected fluctuation in the value of a stock in certain period in the future, taking into account the effect of dividend distribution on stock price changes in prior years.
The remuneration cost recognized in 2024 was NT$2,811 thousand.

(IV) Financial risk management purpose and policy
The Group’s main financial instruments include investments in equity instruments, cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, accounts payable, corporate bonds payable, loans and lease liabilities. The Group’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 Group’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 Group is the foreign exchange rate risk (as described in (1) below) and interest rate risk (as described in (2) below).
(1) Exchange rate risk
The Group engages in foreign currency-denominated sales and import transactions, exposing the Group 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 (including monetary items denominated in non-functional currencies that have been offset in the consolidated financial statements), please refer to Note 35.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group is primarily affected by exchange rate fluctuations in the USD, RMB, and Euro.
The following table consists of details of an analysis of the Group's sensitivity when the exchange rate of each functional currency increases and decreases by 1%. This 1% is the sensitivity ratio used by the Group 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 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.
| Effect of USD | Effect of RMB | Effect of Euro | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | 2025 | 2024 | |
| Profit or loss | $ 4,695 | ($ 3,860) | ($ 621) | $ 155 | $ 399 | ($ 1,609) |
| (Note 1) | (Note 1) | (Note 2) | (Note 2) | (Note 3) | (Note 3) |
Note 1: The profit or loss was mainly generated from the Group'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 Group'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 Group's Euro-denominated receivables, and payables which were outstanding
- 70 -
on the balance sheet date and were not hedged against the cash-flow risk.
The Group’s sensitivity to the USD exchange rate increased in the current year, mainly due to the increase in amounts receivable denominated in USD resulting from the increase in sales denominated in USD. The sensitivity to the RMB exchange rate recorded a year-on-year decrease, mainly due to the increase in accounts payable denominated in RMB resulting from the increase in purchase denominated in RMB. The sensitivity to the Euro exchange rate increased in the current year, mainly due to the increase in amounts receivable denominated in Euro resulting from the increase in sales denominated in Euro.
(2) Interest rate risk
The interest rate risk exposure occurs as the Group’s entities borrow funds at the floating rates at the same time. The Group pays attention to changes in market interest rates to manage interest rate risk.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities exposed to interest rate risk as of the balance sheet date are as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| With fair value interest rate risk | ||
| - Financial assets | $ 615,026 | $ 637,561 |
| - Financial liabilities | 2,255,840 | 2,767,908 |
| With cash flow interest rate risk | ||
| - Financial assets | 980,498 | 1,839,800 |
| - Financial liabilities | 1,848,799 | 1,257,135 |
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 Group 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 Group in 2025 and 2024 will decrease/increase by NT$8,683 thousand and NT$5,827 thousand, respectively.
The Group’s sensitivity to interest rates increased in the year, mainly due to an increase in variable-rate bank deposits.
- Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss of the Group resulting from the counterparty’s default on contractual obligations. As of the balance sheet date, the Group’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 Group was mainly due to the carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.
The Group’s credit risk is mainly concentrated in the top 10 customers. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the ratio of total receivables (including notes receivable, accounts receivable, finance lease receivable and long-term finance lease receivable) from the top 10 customers was 79% and 81%, respectively.
- Liquidity risk
The Group manages and maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to support the Group’s business operation and reduce the effect of the fluctuating cash flow. Management of the Group monitors the use of financing facility and ensures compliance with the terms of the loan contract.
For the Group, bank loans are one of the important sources of liquidity. For the unused credit limits of the Group, please refer to the description of credit limits in (2) below.
(1) 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 Group and the non-discounted cash flow of the financial liabilities (including the principal and estimated interest). Hence, the bank loan which the Group may be requested to repay immediately is listed in the earliest period on the table without consideration of the possibility of
- 72 -
the bank to exercise 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.

(V) Information on financial asset transfer
Information on the Group’s discounted notes receivable outstanding at the end of the year is as follows:
December 31, 2025
| Related Party | Discounted amount | Amount transferred to other receivables | Amount available for advance | Amount advanced | Annual interest rate on amount advanced |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Ningbo Bank, Shanghai Jiading Branch | $ 248,579 | $ - | $ - | $ 248,579 | 0.60%~0.77% |
The Group transferred some of its banker’s acceptance receivable in China to the suppliers to pay for accounts payable. As almost all risks and rewards of these bills were transferred, the Group derecognized the banker’s acceptance receivable transferred and the corresponding accounts payable. However, the Group continues to participate in these bills as the suppliers have the right to request the Group for settlement if the banker’s acceptance receivable derecognized fails to be honored at mutuality.
The maximum exposure to loss on the Group’s continuous participation in the derecognized bank’s acceptance bills transferred but not yet matured at December 31, 2025 and 2024 had a face value of NT$52,593 thousand and $378,891 thousand, respectively. These bills mature within one to five months after the balance sheet date.
- 74 -
Taking into account the credit risk of the bank's acceptance bills derecognized, the Group assessed that the fair value of its continuous participation was not material.
