The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significant in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of Leadtrend Technology Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the parent company only financial statements of Leadtrend Technology Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2024 are stated as follows:

Recognition of Sales Revenue

  1. For the significant sales revenue amounts of Leadtrend Technology Corporation, please refer to Note 20. Proceeds from sale of power management integrated circuits are the main revenue of Leadtrend Technology Corporation. To initiate the process of recognizing such revenue, the production management personnel provide the delivery order to get the products ready for the customer as instructed by the business segment. After the products to be shipped are ready, quality assurance personnel are informed and requested to inspect the products. After products are inspected and qualified, production management personnel sign and affix the official seal to the delivery order and the finished goods outbound order, have the products shipped after the approval of the authorized supervisor, and update the stock details in the operating system. Then the accountant recognizes the sales revenue based on the delivery order signed by the customer or the shipping company.

  2. As the aforementioned transaction involves manual control, the risk of recognizing revenue by mistake or without obtaining the delivery order signed by the customer or the shipping company exists.

  3. We consider the revenue recognition policy of Leadtrend Technology Corporation and evaluate appropriateness of the revenue recognition by understanding and testing the effectiveness of the internal controls on the approval of orders and the shipment procedures, sampling the vouchers relevant to sales revenue, reviewing the amounts received in cash or subsequent cash receipts in order to verify the existence and occurrence of the sales, and also check whether any abnormality about the entity to which products have been sold and the entity receiving payments exists.

  4. 3 -

Inventory Evaluation

Refer to Note 9 of the parent company only financial statements. It is significant that the inventory balance of Leadtrend Technology Corporation accounted for 30% of the total assets as of December 31, 2024. Valuation allowance for inventories is a material accounting estimate. Leadtrend Technology Corporation engages in design and development of integrated circuits, and sells products after outsourcing manufacturing. As such products can be replaced fast in the highly competitive industry, inventory depreciation and obsolescence loss risks may exist.

At the situations stated in any of the most important matters for the audit conducted this year, we have carried out the primary audit procedures as follows:

  1. Understand and evaluate the rationality of the inventory valuation policy adopted by the management.

  2. Obtain the evaluation information about the lower of inventory cost or net realizable value, sample and review the latest information of selling prices of inventories to verify the net realizable value of inventories, and compare the net realizable value of inventories with the book cost of inventories to test the rationality of the amount allocated as inventory loss. Obtain the inventory aging statements, sample and review the inventory change information to test whether the inventory aging classification, inventory quantity and amount are consistent in order to verify the accuracy and completeness of the inventory aging statements. Then verify the rationality of the amount allocated as inventory obsolescence loss pursuant to the inventory evaluation policy.

  3. Carry out inventory retrospectability testing. Review the status of inventory write-off and compare with the inventory obsolescence loss allocation policy to verify whether the inventory obsolescence loss allocated for the current period is proper.

Responsibilities of Management and those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Management is responsible for preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and also responsible for maintenance of the internal controls associated with the preparation of the parent company only financial statements, to ensure the parent company only financial statements free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

  • 4 -

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is also responsible for assessing the ability of Leadtrend Technology Corporation to continue, as a going concern, disclosing any and all relevant matters and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate Leadtrend Technology Corporation or cease operations, or has no feasible alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the audit committee) are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of Leadtrend Technology Corporation.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. If misstatements could, individually or in the aggregate, be reasonably expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken based on the parent company only financial statements, then the misstatements are considered material.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only 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 the one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.

  2. Obtain an understanding of the internal controls 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 controls of Leadtrend Technology Corporation.

  3. 5 -

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

  5. Conclude, based on the audit evidence obtained, on the appropriateness of the management's use of the going concern basis of accounting, and whether a material uncertainty exists that is associated with any events or conditions casting significant doubt on the ability of Leadtrend Technology Corporation to continue as a going concern. If we believe that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the relevant disclosures in the parent company only financial statements, or to modify our opinion if such disclosures are inadequate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause Leadtrend Technology Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

  6. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements (including the notes thereof) and whether the parent company only financial statements appropriately represent the underlying transactions and events.

  7. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within Leadtrend Technology Corporation to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit conducted for Leadtrend Technology Corporation, and also responsible for our audit opinion.

We have communicated with those charged with governance about the planned scope and timing of the audit, and significant audit findings (including any and all significant flaws identified, during our audit, in the internal controls).

We have also provided those charged with governance with a statement, declaring that we as CPAs comply with applicable ethical requirements regarding independence, and have communicated with them about all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be considered to influence our independence (including relevant protection measures).

  • 6 -

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we have determined the key audit matters in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of Leadtrend Technology Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2024. We have described these matters in our auditors' report unless any law or regulation prohibits the matters from being disclosed or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we decide that the matters should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interests to be facilitated.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yu-Feng Huang and Mei-Chen Tsai.

4. Summary of Material Accounting Policies

  • (1) Declaration of Compliance

  • The parent company only financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

  • (2) Preparation Basis

  • The parent company only financial statements are prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the financial instruments at fair value, and the net defined benefit liability recognized based on the present value of defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets.

Fair value measurement is classified from level 1 to level 3 based on observable level and importance of relevant inputs.

  • A. Level 1 Inputs: They refer to the prices of the same assets or liabilities obtained in the active market on measurement date (not adjusted).

  • B. Level 2 Inputs: They refer to direct inputs (i.e. prices) or indirect inputs (presumed from prices) observable, except level 1 prices, for assets or liabilities.

  • C. Level 3 Inputs: They refer to inputs not observable for assets or liabilities. The Company used the equity method to treat investee subsidiaries when preparing the parent company only financial statements. To ensure that the profit or loss of the current year, other comprehensive incomes and equity specified in the parent company only financial statements are the same as the profit or loss of the current year, other comprehensive incomes and equity attributed to owners of the Company in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, the Company adjusted the “investments accounted for using the equity method,” “share of profit or loss of subsidiaries accounted for using the equity method” and relevant equity items to respond to accounting treatment differences when preparing the parent company only and consolidated financial statements.

  • 16 -

  • (3) Standards of Distinguishing Current Assets and Liabilities from Non-current Assets and Liabilities

Current assets:

  • A. The assets held primarily for trading purposes.

  • B. Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

  • C. Cash and cash equivalents (not including the same that would be used to exchange or pay off liabilities 12 months after the balance sheet date and be therefore restricted).

Current liabilities:

  • A. The liabilities held primarily for trading purposes.

  • B. The liabilities due for settlement within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

  • C. Liabilities for which there is no substantive right at the balance sheet date to defer settlement to at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

The assets and liabilities which are not listed as current assets and current liabilities above are classified as non-current assets and non-current liabilities.

  • (4) Foreign Currency

The functional currency adopted by the Company is the New Taiwan Dollar. For the transactions completed by the Company using a (foreign) currency rather than its functional currency, the Company converts the foreign currency to the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the date of transaction in preparing the parent company only financial statements.

Foreign monetary items are converted at the closing rate on the balance sheet date. Exchange differences generated from the transfer or conversion of monetary items is recognized in profit or loss for the current year when the differences occur. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are converted at the exchange rate on the date when fair value is determined. Exchange differences generated are listed as profits or losses for the current year. However, in case of changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive incomes or losses, the exchange differences generated are listed as other comprehensive incomes or losses.

Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are converted at the exchange rate on the date of transaction and will not be re-converted.

  • 17 -

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company converts the assets and liabilities of the foreign operations (including the subsidiaries using, and the subsidiaries operating in the countries using, any currency that differs from the currency used by the Company) to NT dollars at the exchange rate on the balance sheet date. Incomes and expenses are converted at the average exchange rate of the current year. Exchange differences generated are recognized as other comprehensive incomes or losses.

If the Company disposes all equity of a foreign operation, then the accumulate exchange differences relevant to the foreign operation will be reclassified to profits or losses.

  • (5) Inventories

Inventories include raw materials, work in process and finished goods. Inventories are measured by using the lower of cost or net realizable value method. Cost and net realizable value is compared base on each individual item, except the same type of inventories. Net realizable value refers to the amount of the selling price, estimated in normal circumstances, from which the estimated cost required to be put in prior to the completion and the estimated cost needed for the completion of sale are subtracted. Cost of inventories is calculated by use of the weighted average method.

  • (6) Investments in Subsidiaries

The Company uses the equity method to treat its investments in subsidiaries. A subsidiary means an entity controlled by the Company.

With the equity method, investments are originally recognized at cost. After the date of acquisition, the carrying amount increases or decreases subject to the share of profits, losses, other comprehensive incomes and distributed profits to be enjoyed by the Company from subsidiaries. In addition, changes in other equity of subsidiaries to be enjoyed by the Company are recognized proportionally based on the ratio of shareholding.

  • 18 -

When changes in the Company’s ownership interests in a subsidiary do not cause the Company to lose its control over the subsidiary, the changes are treated as an equity transaction. The difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized as equity directly.

When the Company’s share of loss in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interests in the subsidiary (including the carrying amount of investments in the subsidiary accounted for using the equity method, and other long-term interests substantially comprising the Company’s net investments in the subsidiary), the Company shall recognize loss based on the ratio of shareholding.

Acquisition cost exceeding the Company’s share of the identifiable assets and liabilities of subsidiaries in fair value on the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill. The goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investments and shall not be amortized. When the share of the identifiable assets and liabilities of subsidiaries in fair value enjoyed by the Company on the acquisition date exceeds the amount of the acquisition cost, such excess is recognized as profit for the current year.

In evaluating impairment, the Company uses the financial statements as a whole to consider cash-generating units and compares the recoverable amount with the carrying amount. If the recoverable amount of the asset increases afterward, the reversal of impairment loss is recognized as profit. However, the carrying amount of the asset after the impairment loss is reversed shall not exceed the carrying amount of the asset from which the amortization to be allocated is subtracted before the impairment loss is recognized for the asset.

Unrealized profits or losses from downstream transactions between the Company and a subsidiary are eliminated from the parent company only financial statements. Profits or losses generated from upstream and sidestream transactions between the Company and a subsidiary are recognized in the parent company only financial statements only to the extent that the equity of the subsidiary owned by the Company is not relevant.

  • 19 -

  • (7) Property, Plant and Equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recognized at cost and measured subsequently based on the amount of cost less both accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

The self-owned land is not depreciated while each important portion of other property, plant and equipment within service life is depreciated by use of the straight line method. The Company reviews the estimated service life, residual value and depreciation method at least at the end of every year and put off the impact on applicable changes in accounting estimates.

Upon derecognition of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net proceeds on disposal and the carrying amount of the assets is recognized in profits or losses.

  • (8) Intangible Assets

  • A. Individual Acquisition

    • Intangible assets with limited service life acquired individually are originally measured at cost and measured subsequently based on the amount of cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Intangible assets are amortized within service life by use of the straight line method. Estimated service life, residual value and amortization method are reviewed at least at the end of every year and the impact on applicable changes in accounting estimates is put off.
  • B. Derecognition

    • Upon derecognition of intangible assets, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount to such assets is recognized in profits or losses for the current year.
  • (9) Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment, Right-of-use Assets and Intangible Assets

The Company evaluates on every balance sheet date whether there is any sign indicating that property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets or intangible assets may be impaired. In case of any sign of impairment, a recoverable amount is estimated for the assets. If a recoverable amount cannot be estimated for any individual asset, the Company will estimate the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit ("CGU") of the concerned asset. In case those corporate assets are

  • 20 -

shared among CGUs on the basis of reasonable consensus, corporate assets shall be shared among individual CGUs. Otherwise, corporate assets shall be shared among the smallest CGU groups that are shared on the basis of reasonable consensus.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and use value. If the recoverable amount of individual assets or CGUs is less than the carrying amount thereof, then the carrying amount of the assets or CGUs will be reduced to the recoverable amount, and the impairment loss will be recognized in profits or losses.

Upon subsequent reverse of impairment loss, the carrying amount of the assets or CGUs is increased to the revised recoverable amount. However, the increased carrying amount shall not exceed the carrying amount (less amortization or depreciation) that would be determined if the impairment loss of the assets or CGUs had not been recognized in the previous year. Reverse of impairment loss is recognized in profits or losses.

  • (10) Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the parent company only balance sheets when the Company becomes a party to the contract concerning the instruments.

If financial assets or financial liabilities are not measured at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), the financial assets or financial liabilities, upon original recognition, are measured at fair value plus the transaction cost attributable directly to the obtained or issued financial assets or financial liabilities. The transaction cost attributable directly to the obtained or issued financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL is recognized as profits or losses immediately.

  • A. Financial Assets

Routine transactions of financial assets are recognized or derecognized on transaction date.

(A) Type of Measurement

Types of financial assets held by the Company are financial assets measured at amortized cost.

  • 21 -

Financial Assets at Amortized Cost

Financial assets invested by the Company are classified as the financial assets measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are satisfied simultaneously:

  • a. The financial assets are possessed in a specific business model, and the model is used to acquire contractual cash flows by possessing financial assets; and

  • b. Cash flows generated on the specific date as provided in contractual terms are completely used for payment of principals and the interest on the outstanding principals.

After being recognized originally, the financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and refundable deposits) are measured at the amortized cost of the total carrying amount less any impairment loss determined by the effective interest method. Foreign exchange gains or losses are recognized in profits or losses.

Interest income is computed based on the effective interest rate multiplied by the total carrying amount of financial assets, except in either of the following situations:

  • a. For the credit-impaired financial assets purchased or established, interest income is computed based on the effective interest rate, after credit adjustment, multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial assets.

  • b. If the financial assets without credit impairment upon purchase or establishment become credit-impaired subsequently, then interest income is computed based on the effective interest rate multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial assets.

  • Cash equivalents refer to the time deposits that are highly liquid and may be transferred to a fixed amount of cash any time with minimal risk of changes in value to fulfill short-term cash commitments.

  • 22 -

(B) Impairment of Financial Assets

The Company evaluates impairment loss of financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable) based on the expected credit loss every balance sheet date.

Loss allowances for accounts receivable are recognized based on the expected credit loss for the duration of accounts receivable. As for other financial assets, the Company determines whether credit risk increases significantly after the original recognition of such other financial assets. If the risk does not increase significantly, then loss allowances for other financial assets are recognized based on the expected credit loss for 12 months. If the risk increases significantly, loss allowances are recognized based on the expected credit loss for the duration of such other financial assets.

The expected credit loss refers to the weighted average credit loss computed by weighting the risk of a breach of contract. The expected credit loss for 12 months means the expected credit loss incurred due to violation of a financial instrument within 12 months after the date of reporting. The expected credit loss for the duration means the expected credit loss incurred due to all violations of a financial instrument for the duration of the financial instrument.

The impairment loss of all financial assets is reflected by reducing the carrying amount of the financial assets through the allowance account.

  • (C) Derecognition of Financial Assets

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when their rights to cash flows from financial assets under a contract expire or when financial assets have been transferred and almost all risks of ownership of the assets and payments of the assets have been transferred to other enterprises.

Upon derecognition of the entire financial assets measured at amortized cost, the difference between the carrying amount of the financial assets and the received consideration is recognized in profits or losses.

  • 23 -

B. Equity Instruments

The equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity based on the substance of contractual agreements and the definition of equity instruments.

The equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized based on the obtained consideration less the cost of direct issuance.

The equity instruments of the Company taken back are recognized as and subtracted from equity. Their carrying amount is calculated in a weighted average based on types of stocks. No purchase, sale, issuance or annulment of equity instruments of the Company shall be recognized in profits or losses.

C. Financial Liabilities

  • (A) Subsequent Measurement

All financial liabilities of the Company are measured at amortized cost by use of the effective interest method.

  • (B) Derecognition of Financial Liabilities

With respect to derecognition of financial liabilities, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration paid (including any transferred non-cash assets or assumed liabilities) is recognized as profit or loss.

  • (11) Revenue Recognition

After identifying its obligations under a contract made with a customer, the Company amortizes the transaction price to each obligation and recognizes revenue upon fulfillment of each obligation.

Sales Revenue

Sales revenue comes from sale of integrated circuits. When integrated circuits products are shipped, the customer has already had the right to determine the price and use the products and had the primary responsibility for resale, and shall take the risk of obsolescence of the products, so the Company recognizes revenue and accounts receivables at that point of time.

For the goods delivered to be processed, revenue is not recognized upon such delivery as the ownership of processed goods is not transferred.

  • 24 -

  • (12) Lease

Upon establishment of a contract, the Company evaluates whether the contract is (or includes) a lease.

  • A. The Company is a lessor.

If almost all of the risks and compensation pertaining to the ownership of the assets are required to be transferred to the lessee in accordance with the terms of the lease, then the lease is classified as a financed lease. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Lease payments less lease incentives are recognized as incomes under the operating lease for the lease period on a straight-line basis.

  • B. The Company is a lessee.

For other leases, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the date of lease commencement, except for leases of low-value assets for which exemptions can be recognized and short-term leases, in which case, lease payments are recognize as expenses for the lease period on a straight-line basis.

Right-of-use assets are originally measured at cost (including the amount of originally measured lease liabilities). They are subsequently measured based on the cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, and the remeasurement of lease liabilities is adjusted accordingly. Right-of-use assets are expressed separately in the parent company only balance sheets.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis between the date of lease commencement and the expiration of the service life or expiration of the lease period, whichever comes first.

Lease liabilities are originally measured based on the current value of lease payments. If a lease implies an interest rate that can be determined easily, then lease payments are discounted at the interest rate. If the interest rate cannot be determined easily, then the lessee's incremental borrowing rate of interest is used.

  • 25 -

After that, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost by use of the effective interest method, and interest expenses are amortized for the leasing. If the lease period, the amount expected to be paid to the extent of the guaranteed residual value, the evaluation of call options for subject assets, or the index or rate determined for lease payments changes so that future lease payments are varied accordingly, the Company would remeasure lease liabilities and adjust right-of-use assets accordingly. However, when the carrying amount of right-of-use assets is already reduced to zero, the rest of the remeasurement amount is recognized in profits or losses. Lease liabilities are expressed separately in the parent company only balance sheets.

  • (13) Loan Costs

Loan costs are recognized in profit or loss for the current year when they occur.

  • (14) Employee Benefits

  • A. Short-term Employee Benefits

    • Liabilities relevant to short-term employee benefits are measured based on non-discounted amounts expected to be paid to exchange for employees' service.
  • B. Post-employment Benefits

As for retirement pensions under the defined contribution plan, the pension amounts allocated for the period during which employees provide service are recognized as expenses.

Defined costs (including service costs, net interest and remeasurements) of the defined benefit plan are calculated by use of the projected unit credit method. Service costs (including service costs for the current year) and net interest on defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefit expenses upon their occurrence. Remeasurements (including actuarial gains and losses, and return on plan asset less interest) are recognized in other comprehensive incomes or losses upon their occurrence and listed in retained earnings, and they will not be reclassified to profits or losses in a subsequent period.

Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are allocated shortage (surplus) of the defined benefit plan. Net defined benefit assets shall not exceed the current value of the refund of contributions from the plan or the reduction in future contributions.

  • 26 -

  • C. Other Long-term Employee Benefits

The accounting treatment of other long-term employee benefits is the same as that of the defined benefit plan. However, relevant remeasurements are recognized in profits or losses.

  • (15) Share-based Payment Arrangement

Employee stock options and employee restricted stock award shares granted by the Company to employees are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis for the vesting period based on the fair value of equity instruments on the grant date - and the expected best estimate, and the "capital surplus employee stock options and other equity (unearned compensation)" is also adjusted simultaneously. If they are obtained immediately on the grant date, they are recognized as expenses on the grant date.

When the Company issues restricted stock award shares, other equity (employees' unearned compensation) is recognized on the grant date, and the "capital surplus - employee restricted stock award shares" is adjusted simultaneously. If such shares are issued for value and the amount of shares is agreed to be returned upon resignation of the employee, then relevant payables shall be recognized. For the grant date prior to October 10, 2024, the payables are continuously recognized based on the estimated amount after considering the turnover rate according to the Q&A issued by the FSC. If the employee who resigns within the vesting period is not required to return the dividends received already, then expenses are recognized upon announcement of the dividends to be distributed, and retain - earnings and "capital surplus employee restricted stock award shares" are adjusted simultaneously.

The Company amends the estimate of the obtained employee stock options and employee restricted stock award shares on each balance sheet date. If an originally estimated amount is amended, its effects are recognized as profits or losses so that - the accumulated expenses reflect the amended estimate. The "capital surplus - employee stock option" and "capital surplus employee restricted stock award shares" are also adjusted accordingly.

  • 27 -

(16) Income Tax

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

  • A. Current Income Tax

The Company determines its incomes (losses) for the current year in accordance with the regulations enacted by the Republic of China, and calculates income tax payable (refundable) based on such incomes (losses).

The income tax on undistributed earnings computed in accordance with the Income Tax Act of the Republic of China is recognized for the year when the resolution is adopted at the shareholders' meeting.

Adjustment made for the previous year's income tax payable is listed in current income tax.

  • B. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is computed based on temporary differences generated from the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the tax base used to compute taxable income.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized based on taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are recognized when there may probably be taxable incomes from which the tax credits generated from temporary differences and loss carryforwards can be subtracted.

Taxable temporary differences relevant to investments in subsidiaries are recognized as deferred tax liabilities, except when the Company is able to control the point of reverse of temporary differences and the taxable temporary differences will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. Deductible temporary differences relevant to the investments are recognized as deferred tax assets only to the extent of the foreseeable reverse expected in the future when there is taxable income sufficient to realize temporary differences.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed again on every balance sheet date. For all or part of assets that taxable income may probably not be sufficient to recover, the carrying amount is reduced accordingly. Those that are not originally recognized as deferred tax assets are also reviewed again on every balance sheet date. The carrying amount is increased when there may be any taxable income used to recover all or part of the assets.

  • 28 -

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate applicable to the year when liabilities are expected to be repaid or assets are expected to be realized. The interest rate refers to the interest rate determined by the tax law that is enacted or substantially enacted as of the balance sheet date. Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured to reflect the tax consequences generated in the way that the Company expects to recover or repay the carrying amount of its assets or liabilities as of the balance sheet date.

  • C. Current and Deferred taxes

  • Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profits or losses. However, the current and deferred taxes relevant to the items recognized in other comprehensive incomes or losses or those included directly in equity are recognized in other comprehensive incomes or losses or included directly in equity respectively.

5. Main Sources of Material Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Assumption Uncertainty

For relevant information not accessible by the Company from other resources in applying accounting policies, the management must make relevant judgments, estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other relevant factors. The actual result may probably differ from the estimate.

Main Sources of Estimates and Assumption Uncertainty

  • (1) Impairment of Financial Asset Estimates

  • Accounts receivable and liability instruments are estimated based on the assumptions of probability of default and loss-given default made by the Company. The Company considers historical experience, current market conditions and forward-looking information to make its assumptions and chooses input values for the impairment of estimates. If the actual cash flows in the future are less than those expected by the Company, a material impairment loss may occur.

  • 29 -

(2) Impairment of Inventories

The net realizable value of inventories is an estimate of the difference obtained after the cost estimate to be spent until completion of the production and the cost estimate to be required for completion of the sale are subtracted from the selling price estimate. These estimates are evaluated based on current market conditions and historical sales of similar products. Changes in market conditions may affect these estimated results materially.

The Company's average credit period for merchandise sales is 30 to 60 days per month, and accounts receivable are interest-free. The Company will rate main customers by using other publicly available financial information and historical transaction records. The Company continues monitoring credit risk exposure, and the credit rating of the counterparty to each transaction. To reduce credit risk, the management of the Company designates a team to take charge of the decision of credit line, credit approval and other monitoring procedures to ensure that proper measures are taken to recover overdue receivables. In addition, the Company also reviews recoverable amounts of receivables on a case-by-case basis on the balance sheet date to ensure that a proper amount of impairment loss is allocated for unrecoverable receivables. Accordingly, the management of the Company believes that the Company's credit risk has significantly reduced.

The Company recognizes, based on expected credit loss for the duration, the allowance for losses on accounts receivable. 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. Thus the provision matrix is not used to distinguish customer bases, and the expected credit loss rates are determined based on the number of days that the accounts receivable are past due.

If evidence shows that the counterparty encounters serious financial difficulties and the Company is unable to reasonably expect a recoverable amount, then the Company will write off relevant accounts receivable directly; however, claiming activities will still continue. Amounts claimed and recovered are recognized in profits.

Please refer to the following table for the analysis on aging of accounts receivable as of the end of the reporting period.

17. Post-employment Benefit Plan

(1) Defined Contribution Plan

The retirement pension system provided in the Labor Pension Act, which is applicable to the Company, refers to the defined contribution plan managed by the government. The 6% of the monthly wages of an employee is allocated to the specific account of the individual with Bureau of Labor Insurance.

  • 36 -

(2) Defined Welfare Plan

The retirement pension system adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Act of the Republic of China is the defined benefit plan managed by the government. The retirement pension to an employee is computed based on the employee's service time and average wage of the 6 months immediately before the date of retirement approval. The Company allocates the 2% of the monthly wages of an employee to the employee's retirement funds and transfers it to Supervisory Committee of Business Entities' Labor Retirement Reserve. Then the committee deposits it to the specific account with Bank of Taiwan in the name of the committee. If the balance of the specific account at the end of a fiscal year is estimated not to be enough to be paid to the employees who will meet the requirements of retirement in the next year, the difference will be allocated in full by the end of March in the next year. This special account is entrusted by the Labor Fund Management Bureau of the Ministry of Labor, and the Company has no right to affect the investment management strategy.

The Company reached an agreement with employees in August 2023 to settle the years of service accumulated in the old system and settle pension amounts in accordance with relevant regulations. Such settlement was approved by the competent authority. The Company was under no obligation to pay either the balance recovered from the specific pension accounts or the carrying amount of net defined benefit liability. The balance and the carrying amount were transferred to income. Such income, totaling $15,045 thousand, was listed as other income. Please refer to Note 21(2) Other Income.

If the Company chooses to distribute employees' remuneration in stock or cash, then for calculation of diluted earnings per share, employees' remuneration is assumed to be distributed in stock and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding is included when potential common shares have dilutive effect. When calculating diluted earnings per share before the number of shares distributed as employees' remuneration is resolved at the shareholders' meeting in the next year, the Company will continue to consider dilutive effect of the potential common shares.

  • (3) Purpose and Policy of Financial Risk Management

Main financial instruments of the Company include accounts receivable (including those from related parties), refundable deposits, loans, accounts payable (including those from related parties) and lease liabilities. The financial risk management objective of the Company is to manage the exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk relevant to operating activities. For reducing relevant financial risks, the Company is committed to identifying, evaluating and avoiding market uncertainties to reduce the potential negative impact of market changes on the financial performance of the Company.

Important financial activities of the Company are reviewed by the board of directors pursuant to applicable regulations and internal control systems. During the implementation of the financial plan, the Company shall comply with applicable financial operating procedures for overall financial risk management and division of powers and responsibilities.

A. Market Risk

Main financial risks assumed by the Company for its operating activities are exchange rate risk (as stated in (A) below) and interest rate risk (as stated in (B) below).

  • 55 -

The Company does not change the methods that it has adopted to manage and measure risk exposure with respect to market risk for financial instruments.

(A) Currency Risk

Part of cash used or generated by the Company is in foreign currencies, so the effect of natural hedge exists. The Company manages exchange rate risk just for the purpose of hedging, not for profit.

The exchange rate risk management strategy is established to review net positions of various currency assets and liabilities, and conduct risk management on net positions.

For carrying amounts of monetary assets and monetary liabilities of the Company in non-functional currencies on the balance sheet date, please refer to Note 28.

Net investments made by foreign operations of the Company are strategic investments; therefore, the Company does not hedge investment risk.

Sensitivity Analysis

The Company is mainly impacted by fluctuation of USD and CNY exchange rates.

The table below shows the Company’s sensitivity analysis for the situations when the exchange rate of the NTD (the functional currency) to each foreign currency increases or decreases by 5%. Sensitivity analysis considers outstanding foreign currency monetary items, and the conversion made at the end of the period is adjusted by 5% exchange rate fluctuation. The scope of sensitivity analysis includes cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (including those from related parties), other receivables (including those from related parties), accounts payable and other payables. The positive number in the table below shows the amount increasing in the pretax net profit when the NTD against each foreign currency depreciates by 5%. If the NTD against each foreign currency appreciates by 5%, the impact on the pretax net profit will be a negative of the same amount.

  • 56 -

Effects mainly derived from the receivables and payables in USD and CNY which were still outstanding on the balance sheet date and of which the cash flows were not hedged by the Company.

The Company's sensitivity to the USD exchange rate decreased for the current period. It was mostly because the balance of accounts receivable in USD decreased so that net USD assets decreased at the end of the year. Increase in sensitivity to the CNY exchange rate was mostly because accounts receivable in CYN increased so that net CNY assets increased at the end of the year.

(B) Interest Rate Risk

As the Company possesses fixed rate and floating rate assets, interest rate risk exposure is therefore incurred.

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


With fair value interest
rate risk
-Financial assets
-Financial liabilities
With cash flow interest
rate risk
-Financial assets
December 31,2024
$ 342,900
63,077
113,166
December 31,2023
$ 342,700
12,662
96,086

Sensitivity Analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is determined based on interest rate exposure with respect to non-derivative instruments on the balance sheet date. For the assets with floating interest rates, the analysis is made based on the assumption that the assets outstanding on the balance sheet date are still outstanding during the reporting period.

If the interest rate is increased/decreased by 0.1%, then in the situation where all other variables remain unchanged, the pretax net profit for 2024 and 2023 would increase/decrease by $113 thousand and $96 thousand, which is due to the Company's interest rate exposure with respect to net assets with variable interest rates.

  • 57 -

B. Credit Risk

Credit risk refers to the risk incurred when the counterparty to a transaction delays its contractual obligations and thus causes financial loss of the Company. As of the balance sheet date, the maximum credit risk to which the Company was exposed due to possible failure by the counterparty to perform its obligations so as to cause a financial loss of the Company mainly results from the carrying amounts of financial assets recognized in the parent company only balance sheets.

To mitigate credit risk, the management of the Company has designated a team to take charge of the decision of credit line, credit approval and other monitoring procedures to ensure that proper measures are taken to recover overdue receivables. In addition, the Company also reviews recoverable amounts of receivables on a case-by-case basis on the balance sheet date to ensure that a proper amount of impairment loss is allocated for unrecoverable receivables. Accordingly, the management of the Company believes that the Company's credit risk has significantly reduced.

The entities from which accounts receivable shall be collected cover many customers engaging in different industries and located in different geographical areas. The Company continues evaluating financial conditions of each customer from which accounts receivable shall be collected.

Except for Customer A, Customer B and Customer C 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, the Company defines them as the trading parties with similar characteristics. As of December 31, 2024, no credit risk focusing on counterparties, except Customers A, Customer B, and Customer C, exceeded 5% of the total accounts receivable. However, as Customers A, Customer B, and Customer C are reputable entities, credit risk is therefore limited.

C. Liquidity Risk

The Company keeps successful business operation and mitigates the impact of cash flow fluctuation by managing and maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents.

  • 58 -

(A) Liquidity of Non-derivative Financial Liabilities

The table below shows the maturity analysis for the remaining contracts of non-derivative financial liabilities, which is conducted based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities, including cash flows of interest and principal, on the earliest date that the Company is requested to make the repayment.
