INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

To LEADTREND TECHNOLOGY CO. LTD.,

Opinion

We have finished the audit of the consolidated balance sheets respectively as of December 31, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021, and the consolidated composite income statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including summary of significant accounting policies, for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and from January 1 to December 31, 2021, with respect to LEADTREND TECHNOLOGY CO. LTD. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as "Affiliated Companies").

In our opinion, the aforesaid consolidated financial statements have been prepared in all material respects in accordance with the financial reporting standards of the securities issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, interpretations and explanatory announcements approved and issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and are sufficient to express the consolidated financial position of the affiliated companies as of December 31, 2022 and as of December 31, 2021 respectively, and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows during the period from January 1 through December 31, 2022 and the period from January 1 through December 31, 2021 respectively.

Basis for Opinion

The audit is carried out in accordance with the Rules for Audit of Certified Financial Statements and Auditing Standards. Our responsibility under these standards is further explained in the section "Responsibility" of the report. The staff of our CPA firm who are subject to the standards of independence have maintained their independence from Affiliated Companies in accordance with the code of professional ethics for accountants, and performed other responsibilities under the code. We believe that we have obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence on which the audit opinion is given properly.

Key Audit Matters

Key audited matters refer to the most important matters audited in individual financial statements of Affiliated Companies during 2022 based on our professional knowledge. Such matters have been taken into account in the audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and in the formation of the audit opinion, and we express no opinion on such matters separately.

The audited matters in consolidated financial statements of Affiliated Companies during 2022 are described below:

Recognition of sales revenue

  1. The sales revenue of Affiliated Companies is in large amount as detailed in Note 19. The sales revenue for Affiliated Companies are mainly from sales of its power management chips. Such revenues are recognized through such process - the production management staff prepare goods based on the customer's shipping order provided by the business section, and inform the QA staff to inspect the goods when they are prepared, and then ship

  2. 4 -

the goods after the inspection is approved and the shipping order and finish products delivery not are signed, affixed with seal, and reviewed and approved by the supervisor, and update the inventory details in the operating system at the same time. The accountant recognizes sales revenue based on the shipping receipt signed by the customer or carrier.

  1. Because the aforementioned transaction involves manual control, there is a risk that any revenue may be recognized by error without a shipment receipt signed by the customer or freight forwarder.

  2. We consider the revenue recognition policy of Affiliated Companies, evaluate the appropriateness of revenue recognition, including understanding and testing the effectiveness of internal control on approved orders and shipment procedures, and sampling and checking relevant vouchers of sales receipts and cash collection or after-date collection to verify the existence and actual occurrence of the sale transaction, and check whether there are any abnormal situations in the purchaser and the payer.

Evaluation of inventory

Refer to Note 9 of consolidated financial statements for details. The inventory balance of Affiliated Companies accounts for 43% of the total assets as of December 31, 2022 and is in large amount, and the evaluation of the inventory allowance is a significant accounting estimate. In addition, because Affiliated Companies are engaged in the design and development and subsequent sales of integrated circuits after outsourcing production, and this type of products is subject to fast upgrading and updating, and in a highly competitive industry, there may be the risk of inventory price decline and stagnation loss.

We have performed the following major audit procedures in respect of the specific level described as one of the most important matters in this year's audit.

  1. Understand and evaluate the reasonableness of inventory appraisal policies adopted by management.

  2. Obtain the assessment data on the inventory cost and net realized value, whichever is the lower, conduct sampling to check the data on the latest selling price of inventory to verify the net realized value of inventory and compare the net realized value with the book cost of inventory, so as to test the correctness of the inventory loss provision amount; Obtain the inventory age statement, check the inventory entry information to test whether the inventory age classification, inventory quantity and amount are consistent, so as to verify the correctness and completeness of the inventory age statement, and then audit the correctness of withdrawn amount of the inventory stagnation loss based on the inventory evaluation policy.

  3. Perform a retrospective inventory test to examine the inventory obsolescence situation compared with the stagnation loss provision policy to check whether proper provisions have been made against the stagnation inventory loss in the current period.

Other matters

The Company has prepared the individual financial statements as of 2022 and 2021 respectively, and we have issued audit report with clear opinion for filing and for reference.

Responsibility of Management and Governance for Consolidated Financial Statements

The responsibility of the management is to prepare financial statements with fair representation in accordance with the financial reporting standards of the securities issuers and

  • 5 -

International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, interpretations and explanatory announcements approved and issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and maintain necessary internal control related to preparation of financial statements, to ensure that the financial statements are free from material misrepresentation due to fraud or error.

In the preparation of consolidated financial statements, the responsibility of the management also includes assessment of Affiliated Companies' ability to continue as a going concern, disclosure of relevant issues, and adoption of going-concern accounting basis, unless the management intends to liquidate or shut down Affiliated Companies, or there is no practical solution except liquidation or shutdown.

The governance units (including the audit committee) of Affiliated Companies shall be responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.

Responsibility of Accountant to Audit Consolidated Financial Statements

The purpose of accountant's audit of consolidated financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance that the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free of material misrepresentations due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report. Reasonable assurance means a high degree of confidence, provided that an audit carried out in accordance with auditing standards cannot guarantee that any material misrepresentation in consolidated financial statements will be detected. Misrepresentation may result from fraud or error. If a misrepresentation of individual amounts or sums can reasonably be expected to influence economic decisions made by users of the consolidated financial statements, it will be deemed as material misstatement.

We will use professional judgment and professional doubt when checking in accordance with auditing standards. We have also performed the following:

  1. Identify and assess risks of material misrepresentation resulting from fraud or error in the financial statements; Design and implement appropriate actions against the assessed risks; Obtain sufficient and appropriate evidence to serve as the basis for the opinion. Since fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentation, or breach of internal control, the risk of undetected material misrepresentation due to fraud is higher than that due to error.

  2. Obtain necessary understanding of the internal controls relevant to the audit in order to design the appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls of Affiliated Companies.

  3. Assess the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted by the management and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and disclosures.

  4. Based on the evidence obtained, draw a conclusion on whether there is material uncertainty about the appropriateness of the management's use of a going-concern accounting basis and about events or circumstances that may cast significant doubt on the ability of Affiliated Companies to continue as a going concern. If the accountant considers such events or circumstances to be materially uncertain, he/she shall, in the audit report, alert the users of the consolidated financial statements to relevant disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or amend the audit opinion if such disclosures are inappropriate. Our conclusion is based on the evidence obtained as of the date of this audit report. However,

  5. 6 -

future events or circumstances may result in Affiliated Companies' disability to continue as a going concern.

  1. Assess the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including relevant notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements fairly and appropriately present relevant transactions and events.

  2. Obtain sufficient and appropriate verification evidence of the financial information on the Group's affiliates to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for providing instructions on, supervising and executing the Group's audit case and giving audit opinions.

Communication between accountant and the governance includes planned scope and scheduling of the audit, as well as major audit findings (including significant deficiencies in internal control identified during the audit).

We also provide the governance with the statement that the staff of our firm subject to the independence standard have complied with the professional ethics code of accountants regarding independence, and communicated with the governance about all relationships and other matters that may be considered to affect the independence of the accountants (including relevant protective measures).

Among the matters discussed with the management, we decide the key matters for the audit of the 2022 consolidated financial statements of Affiliated Companies. We disclose such matters in the audit report, unless these matters are not permitted to be disclosed publicly under relevant laws, or in very rare circumstances, we decide not to communicate such matters in the audit report because it is reasonably expected that the negative impact of such communication would outweigh the public interest made thereby.

IV. Summary of Major Accounting Policies

  • (I) Compliance statement

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the financial reporting standards of securities issuers and the IFRSs approved and issued by the Financial Regulatory Commission.

(II) Preparation basis

These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities recognized at present value of defined benefit obligations less the fair value of planned assets.

Fair value measurement is classified as Levels 1 through Level 3 according to the observable degree and importance of relevant input values:

  • 15 -

  • Level 1 Input value: Refers to the quotation in the active market (without adjustment) of the same asset or liability available at the measurement date.

  • Level 2 Input value: Refers to the observable input value of an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., price) or indirectly (i.e., derived from price), except as quoted in level 1.

  • Level 3 Input value: Refers to the unobservable input value of an asset or liability.

(III) Standards for distinguishing current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  1. Assets held primarily for transaction purpose;

  2. Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the date of balance sheet; and

  3. Cash and cash equivalents (except those restricted for exchange or settlement of liabilities more than 12 months after the date of balance sheet).

Current liabilities include:

  1. Liabilities held primarily for transaction purpose;

  2. Liabilities due for repayment within 12 months after the date of balance sheet; and

  3. Liabilities whose maturity cannot be unconditionally extended to at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Any assets or liabilities which are not included above are classified as non-current assets or non-current liabilities.

  • (IV) Consolidation basis

These consolidated financial statements cover the financial statements of the Company and the entities under its control (i.e. subsidiaries). The financial statements of the subsidiaries has been adjusted to bring their accounting policies in line with those of the Company. In the preparation of consolidated financial statements, all transactions between individual affiliates, account balances, gains and losses have been wiped out.

Please refer to Notes 10 and 29 for details on the subsidiaries, shareholding ratios and operating items.

  • (V) Foreign currencies

The functional currency of the Company is New Taiwan dollar. When the Company is preparing the individual financial statements, any transactions conducted in currencies other than the individual functional currency (foreign currency) are recorded by converting such currencies into functional currency at the exchange rate on the date of trading.

Monetary items in foreign currency are converted at the closing exchange rate on each balance sheet date. The exchange difference arising from the delivery of a monetary item or the conversion of a monetary item shall be recognized as profit and loss in the year of occurrence.

Any non-monetary items in foreign currency measured at fair value are the exchange rate conversion on the day when the fair value is determined, and the

  • 16 -

exchange difference arising therefrom is included in the current year's profit and loss, except that the exchange difference arising therefrom is included in other comprehensive profit and loss if the change in fair value is recognized as other comprehensive profit and loss.

Any non-monetary items in foreign currency measured at historical cost are converted at the exchange rate of the trading day and will not be re-converted.

When these consolidated financial statements are being prepared, any assets and liabilities of foreign operating entities (including subsidiaries operating in countries in currencies other than the Company's functional currency) are converted to New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rate on each balance sheet date. Income and expense items are converted at the average exchange rate for the year and the resulting exchange difference is included in other comprehensive gains and losses.

If the Company disposes of its all equity in the foreign operators, all accumulated exchange differences related to the foreign operators will be reclassified to profit or loss.

(VI) Inventory

Inventory includes raw materials, work in process and finished goods. The inventory system is measured as the lower of cost and net realized value, and the comparison of cost and net realized value is made on an individual item basis except for the same class of inventory. Net realized value means the balance of the estimated selling price under normal circumstances less the estimated cost of inputs to complete and the estimated cost required to complete the sale. The weighted average method is used to calculate the inventory cost.

(VII) Immovable property, plant and equipment

Real property, plant and equipment are recognized at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses.

With the exception of owned land, any significant part of the real estate, plant and equipment is depreciated separately on a straight-line basis during the service life. The Company reviews estimated service life, salvage value and depreciation methods at least at the end of each year and postpones the effect of changes in applicable accounting estimates.

When real estate, plant and equipment are derecognized, the difference between the net disposal price and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized as profit or loss.

  • 17 -

(VIII) Intangible assets

  1. Acquired separately

Separately acquired intangible assets with limited service life are measured at cost in the original, and are measured at cost after deducting accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their service life, and the Company reviews the estimated service life, residual value and amortization method at least at the end of each year and deferred the impact of changes in applicable accounting estimates.

2. De-recognition

When an intangible asset is derecognized, the difference between the net disposal price and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized as the profit and loss in the current year.

  • (IX) Impairment of immovable property, plant and equipment, assets with right of use and intangible assets

On each balance sheet date, the Company evaluates whether there are any indications that real property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets may have been impaired. The recoverable amount of the asset will be estimated if any indication of impairment exists. If it is impossible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. If the shared assets can be apportioned to a cash generating unit on a reasonably consistent basis, they can be apportioned to an individual cash generating unit, or otherwise, they can be apportioned to the smallest group of cash generating units that can be apportioned on a reasonably consistent basis.

The recoverable amount is the fair value less the cost of sale or its use value, whichever is the higher. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash generating unit is lower than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, and the impairment loss is recognized in the profit and loss.

When the impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash generating unit is increased to the revised recoverable amount, provided that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount (less amortization or depreciation) that would have been determined if the asset or cash generating unit had not recognized the impairment loss in previous years. The reversal of impairment loss is recognized as profit and loss.

(X) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the consolidated balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the instrument.

For the original recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, if the financial assets or financial liabilities are not measured at fair value through profit and loss, they are measured at fair value plus the transaction costs directly

  • 18 -

attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognized as profit or loss.

  1. Financial assets

Conventional transactions of financial assets are recognized and derecognized by accounting on trading days.

  • (1) Classification of measurement

The types of financial assets held by the Company are financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss and financial assets measured at amortized cost.

a) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets that are mandated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss and designated to be measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets that are mandated to be measured at fair value through income and loss include investments in equity instruments that are not specified to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and loss, and investments in debt instruments that are not classified as measured at amortized cost or measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and loss.

Financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss are measured at fair value, and dividends and interest generated are recognized as other income and interest income respectively, and benefits or losses generated by measurement are recognized as other benefits and losses. Please refer to Note 25 for how the fair value is determined.

b) Financial assets measured at cost after amortization

The financial assets invested by the Company shall be classified as financial assets measured at post-amortization cost if both of the following conditions are met:

  • (a) Is held under a business model whose purpose is to hold financial assets for the purpose of receiving contract cash flows; and

  • (b)Contractual terms generate cash flows on a specified date that are solely interest payments on principal and principal amounts outstanding.

  • 19 -

Financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and equivalent cash, accounts receivable and deposits deposited) after their original recognition are the amortized cost measure of the total carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment losses. Any foreign currency exchange gains or losses are recognized as profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the total carrying amount of the financial assets, except in the following two cases:

  • (a) For credit impaired financial assets purchased or created, interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate after credit adjustment by the amortized cost of the financial assets.

  • (b)For financial assets that are not acquired or initiated as credit impairments but subsequently become credit impairments, interest income shall be confidently calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the amortized cost of the financial asset from the next reporting period after the impairment.

Cash equivalents are highly liquid time deposits convertible into fixed cash at any time and with little risk of change in value to meet short-term cash commitments.

  • (2) Impairment of financial assets

The Company assesses its impairment loss of financial assets (including accounts receivable) measured at cost after amortization based on expected credit loss on each balance sheet date.

Loss allowance is recognized as expected credit losses during the duration of accounts receivable. For other financial assets, whether the credit risk has increased significantly since the original recognition is first evaluated. If the credit risk has not increased significantly, the expected credit loss of 12 months is recognized as the loss; if the credit risk has increased significantly, the expected credit loss of the existence period is recognized as the loss.

Expected credit losses are weighted average credit losses weighted by the risk of default. The 12-month expected credit loss represents the expected credit loss of a financial instrument arising from a possible default event within 12 months after the reported date, while the duration expected credit loss represents the expected credit loss of a financial instrument arising from all possible default events during the expected duration.

The impairment loss of all financial assets is a reduction in carrying amount on reserve account.

  • 20 -

(3) De-recognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes its financial assets only when the contractual rights derived from the cash flow of the financial assets expire or the financial assets have been transferred and almost all the risks and rewards of the ownership of the financial assets have been transferred to other enterprises.

When a financial asset measured at cost after amortization is derecognized as a whole, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received is recognized as profit or loss.

2. Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity according to the substance of the contractual agreement and the definition of equity instruments.

Equity instruments issued by the Company shall be recognized at the price obtained less the direct issuance cost.

The Company's own equity instruments are recognized and deducted under equity, and the carrying amount is calculated according to the weighted average of stock classes. The purchase, sale, issue or cancellation of the Company's own equity instruments are not recognized as profit or loss.

  1. Financial liabilities

  2. (1) Follow-up measurement

All financial liabilities of the Company are measured at cost after amortization by the effective interest method.

  • (2) De-recognition of financial liabilities

When financial liabilities are derecognized, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized as profit or loss.

(XI) Recognition of incomes

The Company apportions the transaction price to each of the performance obligations after the customer identified the performance obligations in the contract and recognizes the income when each performance obligation is satisfied.

Goods sales revenue

Goods sales revenues are from sales of integrated circuits. Since the integrated circuit products are shipped, the customer has fixed the price and the right to use the products, and bears the primary responsibility for reselling the products, and also bears the risk of obsolescence, the Company will recognize the revenue and accounts receivable at that time.

At the time of outsourcing material processing, the control on the ownership of the processed products has not been transferred, so the income is not recognized at the time of material processing.

(XII) Lease

The Company evaluates whether the contract involves a lease or not on the date of execution.

  • 21 -

  • Company as lessor

It is classified as a finance lease when the lease terms transfer to the lessee almost all of the risks and rewards attached to the ownership of the asset. All other leases are classified as operating lease.

Under an operating lease, the lease payments minus lease incentives are recognized as income on a straight-line basis during the relevant lease term.

  1. Company as lessee

Except for low value target asset leases and short term leases where the recognition exemption applies and lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis during the lease term, any other leases are recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the commencement date of the lease.

The right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost (including the original measurement amount of the lease liability), and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, and adjusted for the re-measurement of the lease liability. Right-of-use assets are expressed separately in the consolidated balance sheet.

Right-of-use assets shall be depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date of the lease till the expiration of service life or lease term, whichever is the earlier.

Lease liabilities were originally measured as the present value of lease payments. If the lease implied interest rate is easy to determine, the lease payment is discounted at that interest rate. If the rate is not easy to determine, the tenant's incremental borrowing rate is applied.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured on an amortized cost basis using the effective interest method and interest expense is apportioned over the lease term. If the lease term, the salvage value expect payment under the guarantee amount, the evaluation of target asset purchase option or changes in indexes or rates used to determine lease payments cause a change in the future lease payment have rate changes, the Company will re-measure lease liability, and relatively adjust right-of-use assets, but if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, the remaining re-measured amount will be recognized in the profit and loss. Lease liabilities are expressed separately in the consolidated balance sheet.

(XIII) Governmental subsidy

Governmental subsidy shall be recognized only when it is reasonably assured that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the governmental subsidy and will receive such subsidy.

Government subsidies related to revenue are recognized as other income on a systematic basis for the period during which the Company recognizes the costs associated with the revenue they are intended to compensate as expenses.

(XIV) Employee benefits

1. Short-term employee benefits

  • 22 -

Liabilities related to short-term employee benefits are measured as non-discounted amounts expected to be paid in exchange for employee services.

2. Post-retirement benefits

The identified pension contributions under a retirement plan is based on the recognition as an expense of the amount of pension contributions to be made during the employee's service.

The identified benefit cost (including service cost, net interest and revaluation) of an identified benefit retirement plan is actuarial under the projected unit benefit method. Service costs (including current service costs) and net interest on net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefit expenses when incurred. Revaluations (including actuarial gains and losses and return on plan assets after interest deduction) are recognized as other consolidated gains and losses and included in retained earnings at the time of occurrence and are not reclassified as gains and losses in subsequent periods.

Net identified benefit liabilities (assets) represent the shortfall (surplus) of defined benefit retirement plans. Net identified benefit assets must not exceed the present value of the refund of contributions from the program or the reduction of future contributions.

3. Other long-term employee benefits

Other long-term employee benefits are accounted for in the same way as defined-benefit retirement plans except that the relevant re-measurements are recognized as profit or loss.

(XV) Share basis payment agreement

The Company grants employee stock options and restricted employee stock options to employees based on the fair value of the equity instrument and the best estimated amount expected to be acquired. The expenses are recognized on a straight-line basis during the vested period, and the capital reserve - Employee stock options and other equity (employee unearned compensation) is adjusted. If it becomes available immediately on the date of granting, it shall be paid in full on such date.

When the Company issues stock with restricted employee's option, it will recognize other rights and interests (unearned compensation of employees) and adjust the capital reserve - stock with restricted employee's option. If it is issued for compensation, and it is agreed that the price shall be returned when the employee departs, the relevant payment payable shall be recognized. If the employee leaves the company within the vested period and does not need to return the dividends received, the expense shall be recognized when the dividend is declared and the retained earnings and capital reserves shall be adjusted at the same time - stock with restricted employee's option.

The Company revises the expected estimated number of vested employee stock options and restricted employee rights stock at each balance sheet date. If the original

  • 23 -

estimated amount is revised, the impact number is recognized as profit or loss, so that the accumulated expenses reflect the revised estimate, and the capital reserves - employee stock options and capital reserves - restricted employee rights stock are adjusted relative to each other.

  • (XVI) Income tax

Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax and deferred income tax.

1. Current income tax

The income tax payable (recoverable) shall be calculated based on the income (loss) for the period determined by the Company in accordance with the laws and regulations currently effective in respective jurisdictions.

The additional income tax on undistributed surplus calculated in accordance with the income tax law of Taiwan shall be recognized in the year as decided at the shareholders' meeting.

The adjustment of income tax payable in previous years shall be included in the current income tax.

  1. Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is calculated based on the temporary difference between the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities and the tax basis on which the taxable income is calculated.

Deferred income tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, whereas deferred income tax assets are recognized when there is a high probability that a taxable institution can use an income tax deduction for deductible temporary differences.

Taxable temporary differences related to the equity in invested subsidiaries are recognized as deferred income tax liabilities, unless the Company can control the point at which the temporary differences reverse and it is highly likely that the temporary differences will not reserve in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets with respect to such investments are deductible for temporary differences only to the extent that they are likely to have sufficient taxable income to achieve such temporary differences and are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced for those who are no longer likely to have sufficient tax offices to recover all or part of their assets. The assets not previously recognized as deferred income tax are also reviewed on each balance sheet date, and if there is a high probability that they will be able to recover all or part of their assets in the future, their book amounts will be increased.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured by the tax rate for the period in which liabilities are expected to be liquidated or realized based on the tax rate and tax law legislated or substantially legislated at the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax

  • 24 -

consequences of the manner in which the Company expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities at the balance sheet date.

  1. Current and deferred income taxes

V. Major Sources of Uncertainty in Material Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumptions

When the Company adopts accounting policies, the management must make relevant judgments, estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other relevant factors if relevant information is not readily available from other sources. The actual results may differ from estimates.

The Company takes into account the recent spread of COVID-19 in Taiwan and its possible impact on the economic environment in consideration of significant accounting estimates such as cash flow estimates, growth rates, discount rates and profitability, and the management will continuously review the estimates and underlying assumptions. If correction to the estimates only affects the current period, it is recognized in the current period. If correction to the accounting estimates affects both the current and future periods, it is recognized in the revised current and future periods.

Main sources of uncertainty in estimates and assumptions

  • (I) Estimated impairment of financial assets

The estimated impairment of accounts receivable and investments in debt instruments is based on the Company's assumptions regarding the probability of default and the default loss rate. The Company considers historical experience, current market conditions and forward-looking information to make assumptions and select input values for impairment assessment. If the actual future cash flow is less than the Company expects, there may be a material impairment loss.

  • 25 -

(II) Impairment of inventory

The net realized value of inventory is an estimate of the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less the estimated cost to complete and the estimated cost to complete the sale. Such estimates are assessed based on current market conditions and historical sales experience of similar products. Changes in market conditions may materially affect such estimates.

The Company's average credit period for merchandise sales is 30 to 45 days per month, and accounts receivable are interest-free. The Company will use other publicly available financial information and historical transaction histories to grade major customers. The Company continuously monitors credit risks and the credit ratings of the other trading party. To mitigate credit risks, the management of the Company assigns a dedicated team to determine credit lines, approve credit lines and other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions are taken to collect overdue receivables. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amounts of receivables on a case-by-case basis at the balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment losses have been included in unrecoverable receivables. Accordingly, the Company's management believes that the Company's credit risk has been significantly reduced.

The Company recognizes allowance losses for accounts receivable on the basis of expected credit losses during the duration of existence. The expected credit loss during the life period is calculated using the reserve matrix, which takes into account the customer's past default record and the current financial position and industrial economic situation, as well as the GDP forecast and industrial outlook. As the Company's credit loss history shows that there is no significant difference in loss patterns among different customer groups, the reserve matrix does not further distinguish between customer groups and only sets the expected credit loss rate based on the overdue days of accounts receivable.

If there is evidence that the other trading party is in serious financial difficulties and the Company cannot reasonably expect the amount to be recovered, the Company will directly write off the relevant accounts receivable, but will continue to pursue recovery activities, as the amount recovered will be recognized as profit or loss.

Refer to the table below for an aging analysis of accounts receivable at the end of the reporting period.

  1. Investment risk: The labor Fund Management Bureau of the Ministry of Labor invests the labor retirement fund in domestic (foreign) equity securities, debt securities and bank deposits through its own use and entrusted operation. However, the amount of distribution of the planned assets of the Company is the revenue calculated at the interest rate not lower than that of the 2-year fixed deposit of the local bank.

  2. Interest rate risk: The decrease in the interest rate of government bonds corporate bonds will increase the present value of identified benefit obligations, but the return on debt investment of planned assets will also increase, which will partially offset the effect of the net identified benefit liabilities.

  3. Salary risk: The present value of the benefit obligation is calculated based on the future salary of the planned member. Therefore, rise in the planned member's salary will increase the present value of the identified benefit obligation.

The present value of the Company's identified welfare obligations is actuarial by qualified actuaries and is measured on the following significant assumptions:

Discount rate
Expected salary interest rate
December 31,2022
1.375%
4.000%
December 31,2021
0.500%
4.000%

When all other assumptions stay unchanged, a reasonably possible change in the significant actuarial assumptions respectively would increase /decrease the present value of the identified benefit obligation by the following amount:

Discount rate
Increased by 0.25%
Decreased by 0.25%
Expected salary interest rate

Because actuarial assumptions may be related to each other, it is unlikely that a single assumption will change, so the sensitivity analysis above may not reflect the actual changes in the present value of identified benefit obligations.

(IV) Purpose and policies of financial risk management

The Company's principal financial instruments include accounts receivable, refundable deposits, accounts payable and lease liabilities. The purpose of the Company's financial risk management is to control exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk related to its operating activities. In order to reduce the related financial risks, the Company strives to identify, evaluate and avoid market uncertainties so as to reduce the potential adverse impact of market changes on the financial performance of the Company.

Important financial activities of the Company are reviewed by the Board of Directors in accordance with relevant regulations and internal control system. During the execution of the financial plan, the Company must comply with the relevant financial operating procedures regarding overall financial risk management and division of responsibilities.

1. Market risk

The main financial risks that the Company incurs from its operations are the risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuations (as stated under (1) below) and the risk of interest rate fluctuations (as stated under (2) below).

There has been no change in the Company's exposure to market risks in financial instruments and how it manages and measures such exposure.

  • (1) Exchange rate risk

Part of the Company's cash inflow and outflow is in foreign currency, so it has partly effect of naturally hedging. The Company manages exchange rate risks for the purpose of hedging, not for profit.

  • 47 -

The exchange rate risk management strategy is to periodically review the net position of various currency assets and liabilities and to manage the risk at this net position.

Refer to Note 28 for the carrying amounts of the Company'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 written off in the consolidated financial statements).

The net investment of the Company's foreign operators is strategic investment, so the Company does not hedge against it. Sensitivity analysis

The Company is mainly affected by fluctuations in the exchange rates of the US dollar and RMB.

The table below details the Company's sensitivity analysis when the exchange rates of the individual functional currencies increase or decrease by 5% against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity analysis takes into consideration only the monetary items in foreign currency outstanding at the end of the period, and their conversion at the end of the period is adjusted for a change in exchange rate of 5%.The scope of sensitivity analysis includes cash and contingent cash, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payable and other amounts payable. The positive numbers in the table below represent the amount of before-tax net profit that would be reduced when the individual functional currency appreciates by 5% relative to all relevant currencies. When the individual functional currency depreciates by 5% relative to relevant foreign currencies, the impact on net pre-tax earnings will be negative of the same amount.

$ 8,470
Influence of RMB
2022
$ 5,236
2022
$ 70
2021
$ 3,642

The impact is primarily due to the Company's US dollar and RMB denominated receivables and payables that are outstanding at the balance sheet date and are not protected against cash flows.

The Company's decreased sensitivity to the exchange rate during the year was mainly due to the decrease in US dollar net assets at the end of the period resulting from the decrease in the balance of accounts receivable denominated in US dollars.

(2) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk arises because affiliates of the Company hold both fixed and floating rate assets.

  • 48 -

The book amounts of the Company's financial assets exposed to interest rate risk on the balance sheet date are as follows:


Interest rate risk in fair
value
- Financial assets
-Financial liabilities
Interest rate risk in cash
flow
- Financial assets
December 31,2022

19,983
121,409
December 31,2021
$ 501,245
28,405
227,454

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk of non-derivative instruments at the balance sheet date. For floating rate assets, the analysis assumes that the amount of assets outstanding on the balance sheet date is outstanding during the reporting period.

If the interest rate increases/decreases by 0.1%, all other variables held constant, the Company's net profit before tax in 2022 and 2021 years will increase/decrease by $121,000 and $227,000 respectively, due to the interest rate risk of the Company's variable interest rate net assets.

  1. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company caused by default of contractual obligations by the other trading party. As of the balance sheet date, the Company's greatest credit risk exposure to non-performance of obligations by the other trading party is primarily attributable to the carrying value of financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.

To mitigate credit risk, the management of the Company has appointed a dedicated team responsible for the determination of credit lines, credit approval and other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions are taken to collect overdue receivables. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amounts of receivables on a case-by-case basis at the balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment losses have been included in unrecoverable receivables. Accordingly, the Company's management believes that the Company's credit risk has been significantly reduced.

Accounts receivable cover a large number of customers, dispersed in different industries and geographical regions. The Company continuously evaluates the financial position of its customers involving in accounts receivable.

Except for Customer A, Customer B, Customer C, Customer D and Customer E as described below, the Company does not have a material credit risk against any single trading party or any set of trading parties with similar characteristics. When the trading parties are related enterprises to each other,

  • 49 -

the Company defines them as the trading parties with similar characteristics. As of December 31, 2022, with the exception of Customer A, Customer B, Customer C, Customer D and Customer E, the concentration of credit risk with respect to other trading parties did not exceed 5% of total accounts receivable. The credit risks with Customer A, Customer B, Customer C, Customer D and Customer E are limited, since they are highly reputable manufacturers. 3.Liquidity risk

The Company manages and maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to finance its operations and mitigate the impact of cash flow fluctuations. (1) Liquidity of non-derivative financial liabilities

The following table details the maturity analysis of the remaining non-derivative financial liabilities for which the Company has agreed repayment periods, based on the earliest date on which the Company may be required to repay and is prepared in terms of un-discounted cash flows of financial liabilities, including cash flows of interest and principal.
