REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

LEADTREND TECHNOLOGY CO. LTD.,

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Leadtrend Technology Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “(consolidated) financial statements”). Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standards on Review Engagements of the Republic of China 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Conclusion

Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of September 30, 2023 and 2022, its consolidated financial performance for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and its consolidated

financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial

Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Yu-Feng Huang and Cai Meizhen.

Deloitte & Touche Taipei, Taiwan Republic of China

November 9, 2023

Notice to Readers The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the consolidated financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to review such consolidated financial statements are those generally applied in the Republic of China. For the convenience of readers, the independent auditors’ review report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language independent auditors’ review report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

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.

XVI. Post-Retirement Welfare Plan

(I) Identified allocation plan

The Company's applicable pension program under the Workers' Pensions Ordinance is a defined-contribution retirement scheme administered by the government, which contributes 6% of an employee's monthly salary to the individual account of the Workers' Insurance Bureau. In addition, the basic pension premium paid by LEADTREND SHENZHEN under the government management fund program shall be recognized as the current annual expense at the time of provision. Subject to the above relevant provisions, the amounts recognized as expenses in the consolidated income statement of the Company were $2,696 and $2,804 thousand for the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, and were $8,260 and $8,197 thousand for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022.

(II) Identified welfare plans

The Company's pension system in accordance with Labor Standards Law is a defined benefit retirement plan administered by the government. Payment of employee's pension is calculated on the basis of the service duration and the average salary of the 6 months prior to approved retirement. The Company shall allocate 2% of the total monthly salary to the employee's pension, which shall be deposited into a special account of the Bank of Taiwan by the Labor Retirement Reserve Supervision Committee in the name of the committee. Before the end of the year, if the estimated balance of the special account is not enough to pay the employees who are expected to reach the retirement conditions within the next year, the difference will be allocated in a lump sum before the end of March of 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.

For the three months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022 and for the Nine Months ended September 30, 2023 and 2022, the pension expenses of defined benefit plans were $0, $ 130,000, $216,000 and $390,000 respectively, and these were calculated based on the pension cost rate determined by the actuarial calculation on December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

If the Company selects to pay employee remuneration in stock or cash, diluted earnings per share will be calculated on the assumption that employee compensation will be paid in stock

31

and will be included in the weighted average number of outstanding shares to calculate dilutive earnings per share at the time when the potential common stock is dilutive. The dilution effect of such potential ordinary shares also continues to be taken into account in calculating diluted earnings per share prior to the determination of the number of shares to be paid to employees in the next year.

The Company is loss from July 1 to September 30 of 2023 and January 1 to September 30 of 2023, and if the impact of employee compensation and employee rights restricted stock is included, it will have a counter-dilution effect, calculated on the basis of excluding diluted earnings per share.

(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.

33

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.

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.

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 US dollar 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 of accounts receivable denominated in US dollars.

The Company's decreased sensitivity to the RMB exchange rate during the year was mainly due to the decrease in RMB net assets at the end of the period resulting from the decrease in the balance of cash and cash equivalents denominated in RMB.

(2) Interest rate risk

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

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

September 30,
2022
$ 206,275
23,194
87,459

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 the period from January 1 to September 30 of 2023 and 2022 will increase/decrease by $118 thousands and $66

35

thousands respectively, due to the interest rate risk of the Company's variable interest rate net assets.

2. 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, the Company defines them as the trading parties with similar characteristics. As of September 30, 2023, 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.
