Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the balance sheet of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the comprehensive income statement, the statement of changes in equity and the cash flow statement, and the notes to parent company only financial statements (including the summary of significant accounting policies) for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

In our opinion, all material disclosures of the parent company only financial statements mentioned above were prepared in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, and presented a fair view of the financial position of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the business performance and cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Basis for opinion

We have conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards. Our responsibility to the standards will be explained in the paragraph of auditor’s responsibilities when auditing the parent company only financial statements. All relevant independent personnel subject to the CPA professional ethics within the firm remain independent from the Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation and implement responsibilities regulated in the ethics. We believe we have obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis for the audit opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are the most important matters that we audit in the 2023 parent company only financial statements of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation based on our professional judgment. All relevant matters were audited during the audit of the parent company only financial statements and the formulation of the audit opinions. We will not express our opinions on those matters separately. The key audit matters that we determine shall be listed on the audit report include: Assessment of investment under equity method

Regarding the accounting policies for the investment assessment under equity method, please see note 4(7) and (8) to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements; for the shareholding in the profit of the affiliated companies and joint ventures under the equity method, please see see note 6(5) to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.

Description of the key audit matters:

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation the main business became general investment. The recognized investment amount under equity method totaled NTD42,749,653 thousand, occupying 79% of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation’s total assets. Therefore, the investment under equity method is listed as a matter we need to highly focus on when auditing. Corresponding audit process:

The audit process we perform for the above key audit matters includes: provide audit instructions to and communicate with the audit staff of other component entities; acquire the financial statements of the component entities, perform a check calculation for the correctness of the recognized investment amount under equity method and attributable period and assess whether the management has properly discoursed the investment under equity method.

The responsibility of the management and the governing body for the parent company only financial statements

The management is responsible for preparing the appropriate parent company only financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms. Additionally, it is responsible for maintaining the internal control mechanism that is related to and necessary for the preparation of the parent company only financial statements. As a result, it can ensure material misstatement due to fraud or error is not pertained in the parent company only financial statements.

Other than the situation that the management intends to liquidate Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation or stop the business, or no other approaches can be used except for these two measures, during the preparation of the parent company only financial statements, the responsibility of the management also includes evaluating the going concern capacity of the Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation, disclosure of relative matters, and adoption of the going concern accounting basis.

The governing body of the Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation (including the Audit Committee) has the responsibility to supervise the financial reporting procedures.

~3~

Our responsibility for the audit of the parent company only financial statements

The purpose for us to audit the parent company only financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance that there is no material misstatement due to fraud or error in the parent company only financial statements, and we issue the audit report afterwards. Reasonable assurance means high assurance. Only that the audit work implemented in accordance with the auditing standards cannot give the promise that every material misstatement in the parent company only financial statements are found. Misstatement might result from fraud or error. If we can reasonably expect the individual amounts or the total amount in the misstatement would influence the financial decision made by the user of the parent company only financial statements, the misstatement is considered material.

When performing the audit according to the auditing standards, we exercise professional

judgment and remain skeptical professionally. We also perform the following work:

  1. We identify the material misstatement resulting from fraud or error in the parent company only financial statement and assess its risk. We design and implement appropriate corresponding measures for the assessed risk. We acquire sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis for the audit opinion. Due to the fact that fraud might include collusion, forgery, intended omission, misstatement and violation of internal control, the risk of the misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error.

  2. We acquire necessary understanding of the internal control mechanism that is related to the audit to design appropriate audit process for the situation at the time. The purpose of the knowledge is not expressing opinions to the effectiveness of the internal control mechanism of the Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation.

  3. We evaluate whether the accounting policies adopted by the management are suitable and whether the accounting estimation as well as relative disclosures are appropriate.

  4. Based on the acquired audit evidence, we decide whether the going concern accounting basis adopted by the management is suitable, whether events that might affect the going concern capacity of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation exist, and whether there is major uncertainty. A conclusion will be made afterwards. We believe under the circumstances that there is major uncertainty, a reminder shall be included in the audit report to inform the parent company only financial statements user to pay attention to relative disclosures in the statements. We shall modify the audit opinion when the disclosure is considered improper. Our conclusion is based on the audit evidence acquired as of the date of the audit report. Future events or circumstances might still result in the fact that Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation no longer has the going concern capacity.

  5. We evaluate the overall statements, structures and contents of the parent company only financial statements (including relative notes) and see whether the statements appropriately state relevant transactions and events.

~4~

  1. We examine the financial information of invested company under the equity method to acquire sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for expressing opinions in the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible to guide, supervise and implement the audit. In addition, we are responsible for the formulation of opinions for Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation. We communicate with the governing body on the scope and time of the audit as well as the

significant findings (including significant deficiencies of the internal control mechanism identified during the audit process).

We have issued a declaration of independence to the governing body, which assured that all relevant personnel within the CPA firm had complied with ethical rules of the CPA profession. Besides, we mention the relation or situation that may compromise the CPA's independence (including relevant preventive measures) to the governing body.

After communicating the above matters with the governing body, we decide the key audit matters in the 2023 parent company only financial report of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation. We clearly state all above matters in the audit report, unless the law prohibits us to publicly disclose certain matters, or under rare circumstances we decide not to include certain matters in the audit report since we can reasonably expect the resulting negative impact is greater than the public interest they bring.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’report are Swimming Hsu and Linda Chiang

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

  • (II) Basis for preparation

  • Basis for measurement

In addition to the following important items in the balance sheet, the parent company only financial statements were prepared based on the historical cost:

  • (1) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss;

  • (2) Net defined benefit liabilities measured at the fair value of pension fund assets with the deduction of the present value of a defined benefit obligation and the ceiling effect described in note 4(11).

  • environment as its functional currency. The parent company only financial statements were prepared in the Company’s functional currency, NT Dollar. All of the financial

~12~

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

information presented in NTD should be held presented in NTD 1,000 as the currency unit.

  • (III) Foreign currency

  • Transactions in foreign currencies

Foreign currency transactions are converted into the functional currency using exchange rates on the date of transaction. Monetary foreign currency accounts as of the end of the reporting period (referred to as the reporting date) are converted into the functional currency using exchange rates on the reporting date.

The foreign currency non-monetary item measured at fair value is converted into functional currency in accordance with the exchange rate on the valuation date. The foreign currency non-monetary item valued at historical cost is converted in accordance with the exchange rates on the transaction date.

The foreign currency exchange difference generated from conversion shall be recognized in profit and loss. But under the circumstances below, it shall be recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • (1) Equity instrument designated to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income;

  • (2) Financial liabilities designated as hedges of foreign institution’s net investment are within the effective hedge scope; or

  • (3) Qualified cash flow hedge is within the effective hedge scope.

  • Foreign operating agency

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including the goodwill and fair value adjustment generated at the time of acquisition, shall be converted into the presentation currency of the parent company only financial statements on the reporting date. Income and expenses are converted into presentation currency of the parent company only financial statements at the average exchange rate in the current period, and the exchange different generated therefor shall be stated as other comprehensive profit or loss.

When the disposal of a foreign operation causing a loss of control, loss of joint control, or significant influence, the cumulative exchange difference related to the foreign operation is entirely reclassified as profit or loss. If the disposal involves any subsidiary of the foreign operations, the relevant accumulated exchange difference shall be reclassified into the non-controlling interests on a pro rata basis. If the disposal involves any affiliate or joint venture of the foreign operations, the relevant accumulated exchange difference shall be reclassified into income or loss on a pro rata

~13~

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

basis.

If no repayment program is defined with respect to monetary item receivable or payable of the foreign operations and it is impossible to settle in the foreseeable future, the foreign currency exchange gain or loss generated therefor shall be held as a part of the net investment of the foreign operations and recognized as other comprehensive profit or loss.

  • (IV) Classification of assets and liabilities as current and non-current

Assets that meet any of the following criteria are classified as current assets; assets other than the current assets are classified as non-current assets:

  1. Assets expected to be realized, intent to be sold or consumed over the normal operating cycles;

  2. Assets held primarily for the trading purpose;

  3. Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; or

  4. Assets in cash or cash equivalents, except for those that are used for an exchange or to settle a liability, or otherwise remain restricted in more than 12 months after the reporting period.

  5. Liabilities that meet any of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities;

  6. liabilities other than current liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities:

  7. Liabilities expected to be settled over the normal operating cycles;

  8. Liabilities held primarily for the trading purpose;

  9. Liabilities expected to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or

  10. Liabilities whose settlement period may not be unconditionally extended for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Liabilities under the terms that give counterparties the option to repay in the form of equity instruments and without the effect on their classification due to such terms

  11. (V) Cash and cash equivalent

Cash includes cash reserves and current deposit balance. Cash equivalent includes short-term and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash with insignificant risk of changes in value. The time deposits that fall into the above definition and are intended to satisfy the short-term cash commitment instead of investment or other purposes shall be stated as cash or cash equivalents.

For the time deposits with an initial maturity date that is within a year intended to satisfy the short-term cash commitment instead of investment or other purposes, they are readily convertible into fixed amounts of cash at any time and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Therefore, they shall be stated as cash or cash equivalents.

~14~

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

(VI) Financial instruments

Accounts receivable and debt securities issued are recognized at time of generation. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a contracting party of the terms and conditions of the financial instruments concerned. For the financial assets that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss (excluding accounts receivable that comprises material financial parts) or financial liabilities shall be initially evaluated based on the fair value, plus the directly attributable acquired or issued transaction cost. Accounts receivable that comprises material financial parts shall be initially measured based on the transaction price.

  1. Financial assets

For the financial assets that are purchased or sold in accordance with the general trade practice, and the financial assets that are classified in the same way, the Company processes the purchase and sale in accordance with the trade date accounting.

The financial assets can be classified into the following categories during the initial recognition: financial assets measured at amortized cost and the equity instrument investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. When, and only when, the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, it must reclassify all affected financial assets from the first day of the reporting period.

(1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

The financial asset that meets the following criteria and is not designated to be measured at fair value through profit and loss shall be measured at amortized cost:

  • The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows.

  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The above assets are measured at initial recognition value plus or minus, and the accumulated amortization is calculated with the effective interest method. And the amortized cost of the loss allowance is adjusted before the measurement. The interest revenue, foreign currency exchange gain or loss and impairment are recognized in profit or loss. During derecognition, the profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

~15~

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

  • (2) Financial assets measured at fair values through other comprehensive profit or loss

The debt instrument investment that meets the following criteria and is not designated to be measured at fair value through profit and loss shall be measured at fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss:

  • The asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows or to sell.

  • The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The Company may, at initial recognition, irrevocably make a choice to recognize the later fair value change of the equity instrument investment held not for transaction in other comprehensive profit or loss. The above choice is made on the basis of the instrument-by-instrument approach.

The debt instrument investment shall be measured at fair value. The interest revenue, foreign currency exchange gain or loss and impairment calculated using the effective interest method are recognized in profit or loss. Other net profit or loss is recognized in other comprehensive profit or loss. When derecognizing, the accumulated amount of other comprehensive profit or loss will be reclassified as profit or loss.

The equity instrument investment shall be measured at fair value. Dividend income (excluding obvious recovery of partial investment cost) is recognized in profit or loss. Other net profit or loss is recognized in other comprehensive profit or loss and will not be reclassified as profit or loss.

Dividend income of the equity investment will be recognized on the day when the Company has the right to collect the dividend income (usually the ex-dividend date).

  • (3) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes the expected credit losses of the financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized cost, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, guaranteed deposits paid and other financial assets) in loss allowance.

The loss allowance of the following financial asset is measured at 12-month expected credit losses. The other is measured at expected credit losses of the duration:

~16~

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

  • The determined credit risk of the debt security on the reporting date is low; and

  • The credit risk of other debt securities and bank deposits (i.e. the default risk happened throughout the expected duration of the financial instrument) does not increase significantly after the initial recognition.

The loss allowance of accounts receivable is measured at the expected credit losses throughout the duration.

When determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly after the initial recognition, the Company shall take reasonable and supporting materials into consideration (acquired through not too much cost and effort), including qualitative and quantitative data. Besides, the experience of the Company, credit assessment and forward-looking information shall be used for the analysis.

The expected credit loss is the weighted credit loss rate estimation of the financial instrument throughout the expected duration. The credit loss is measured at present value of the all cash shortfalls. The cash shortfall is the difference between the contractual cash flow that the Company can collect and the cash flow the Company expects to collect. The expected credit loss uses the effective rate of the financial asset for discount.

The Company assesses whether credit impairment has occurred on every reporting date based on financial assets measured at amortized cost and debt securities measured at fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss. When one or several matters that will negatively affect the estimated future cash flow of financial assets happen, the credit impairment occurs. The evidence that proves the credit impairment of financial assets includes the following observable information:

  • The borrower or issuer has major financial difficulty;

  • Contract default. Such as overdue or non-performance of payment for over 180 days.

  • Due to economic or contractual reason with respect to the borrower’s financial difficulty, the Company compromises on things it would not give in.

  • The borrower is likely to file for bankruptcy or proceed with other financial reorganizations; or

  • The active market of financial assets might extinguish due to financial difficulty.

The loss allowance of financial assets measured at amortized cost is

~17~

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

deducted from the book value of assets.

When the Company cannot reasonably expect all or parts of the recovered financial assets, it will reduce the total book value of its financial assets directly. For company customers, the Company analyzes the write-off time and amount respectively based on whether it can reasonably expect the recovery. The Company expects the written-off amount will not result in significant reversal. However, the enforcement of the written-off financial assets can still be performed to be in conformity with the procedure for the Company to recover the overdue amount.

  • (4) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights on the cash flow of the assets are terminated, or financial assets are transferred and almost full risk and return of the asset ownership are transferred to other business, or almost full risk and return of the ownership is not transferred or retained and the control of financial assets is not retained.

For the transaction of financial assets transfer signed by the Company, when reserving almost full risk and return of the transferred asset ownership, it is still recognized in the balance sheet.

  1. Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  2. (1) Classification of liabilities or equity

The obligation and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified into financial liabilities or equities according to definitions of the financial liabilities and equity instruments referred to in an agreement.

  • (2) Equity transaction

Equity instruments are the contracts that evidence a residual interest in the assets of the Company after deducting all of its liabilities. The equity instruments issued by the Company shall be recognized based on the payment of acquisition less the direct issuing cost.

  • (3) Treasury stocks

When repurchasing the equity instrument that has been recognized by the Company, the consideration paid for the repurchase (including directly attributable costs) is recognized as equity loss. The share that is repurchased is classified as treasury stock. The collected amount of the sale or repurchase of treasury stocks will be recognized as equity increase. The surplus or deficit result from the transaction will be recognized as additional paid-in capital or retained

~18~

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

earnings (if the additional paid-in capital is insufficient for write-off).

  • (4) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities can be classified as the liabilities measured at amortized cost or the liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss. If the financial liabilities are held for trading, are derivatives or designated during initial recognition, the financial liabilities will be measured at fair value through profit or loss. The financial liabilities that are measured at fair value through profit or loss measured at fair value will be recognized in profit or loss. This applies to relative net profit and loss, including any interest payment.

Other financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The interest payment and exchange gain or loss are recognized in profit or loss. Any profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss when derecognizing.

  • (5) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company will have the financial liabilities derecognized when the contractual obligation is performed, discharged, or expired. When the financial liabilities clauses are modified and the cash flow of the modified liabilities has significant difference, the original financial liabilities will be derecognized and the new financial liabilities will be recognized at fair value based on the modified clauses.

When removing financial liabilities from the balance sheet, any differences between the book value and the amount paid or payable (including any non-cash assets transferred and any liabilities assumed as part of the arrangement) are recognized through profit and loss.

  • (6) Offset of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and liabilities may be offset against each other and reported in the balance sheet in net amount only when the Company is entitled to such offset exercisable under laws and intends to settle in net amount, or assets are realized and liabilities are repaid at the same time.

  • (VII) Investment in Affiliated enterprise

Affiliated enterprise is the one that the Company has significant influence on and no control of joint control over its financial and operating policies.

The equities of the Company in the affiliated enterprise are disposed under equity method. Under the equity method, the original acquisition is recognized at cost and the investment cost includes the transaction cost. The book value of investments in an affiliated

~19~

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

enterprise includes the goodwill identified in original investment net of any accumulated impairment loss.

The parent company only financial statements shall include the profit and loss from the invested affiliates recognized subject to the equity ratio and other comprehensive income upon adjustment made in line with the Company’s accounting policy, from the date when the Company has major influence till the date when the Company loses the major influence. When changes to equity irrespective of profit and loss or comprehensive income occur to an affiliated enterprise with no impact on the shareholding ratio of the Company, the Company’s share of such changes in equity will be recognized as additional paid-in capital based on the shareholding ratio.

The unrealized gain and loss deriving from the transactions between the Company and the affiliated enterprise are recognized in the financial statement of the enterprise within the scope of equity of the non-related investor in the affiliated enterprise.

Recognition of the loss stops when the loss of the affiliated enterprise recognized proportionally by the Company equals or exceeds its equity in the affiliated enterprise; also, only recognizes additional loss and related liabilities are recognized only upon occurrence of a legal obligation, constructive obligations, or prepayment made on behalf of the invested company.

The investment is no longer recognized under equity method from the date on which the Company stops the investment in the affiliated enterprise. The preserved equity is measured at fair value. The difference between the fair value and the disposal amount of the preserved equity and the book value of investment on the date on which the equity method is not adopted is recognized as current profit and loss. Where the accounting treatment for the values related to the investment as recognized into other comprehensive income previously is identical with the basis for the affiliated enterprise's direct disposition of related assets or liabilities, namely, when the related assets or liabilities are disposed, the gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive profit or loss previously is to be reclassified as retained earnings. If the ownership interest of the company in the affiliated enterprise decreases but remains under the equity method, the company will follow the method stated above to reclassify and adjust the gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive profit or loss previously relating to such ownership interest decrease based on the decline ratio. (VIII) Investment in subsidiaries

In compiling the parent company only financial statements, the Company shall evaluate the investee of which the company has dominant control under the equity method. Under the equity method, income of current period and other comprehensive incomes as

~20~

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

presented in the parent company only financial statements shall be identical with the income of current period and other comprehensive incomes attributable to the proportion allocated to the parent shareholder as presented in the financial statement prepared on the basis of consolidation. The shareholders’ equity as presented in the parent company only financial statements shall be identical with the parent shareholders’ equity as presented in the financial statement prepared on the basis of consolidation.

If the Company’s equity ownership change in a subsidiary does not result in the loss of control of the subsidiary, it is treated as equity transaction with the shareholders.

(IX) Investment property

Investment property is held for earning rent income or for capital appreciation, or both, rather than for normal business operation, for sale, used in production, for supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Investment property is initially measured at cast and then subsequently measured at cost subtracting by accumulated depreciation and Impairment. The depreciation methods, life duration and residual values of investment property are same as the practice of the property, plant, and equipment.

The gain or loss on disposal of investment property (calculated based on the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the book value of such item) is recognized in profit and loss.

The rent income arising from investment property is recognized as rent income in accordance with the straight-line method over the lease period. Also, the given lease incentives is recognized as part of the overall rent income over the lease period. (X) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company shall assess whether the book value of the non-financial assets (except the inventories and deferred tax assets) has any possible sign of impairment. In case of any possible sign of impairment, the company shall estimate the recoverable amount of such asset. Goodwill is tested regularly for impairment every year.

For the purpose of impairment testing, inflow the cash to one of the asset groups that has most cash inflow independent from other individual assets or asset groups as the minimum identifiable asset group. The goodwill acquired in a business consolidation shall be allocated to the consolidated company’s cash-generating units or cash-generating group that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the consolidation effort.

The collectible amount shall be the higher of the fair value of individual asset or cash generation unit less the disposal cost and the value in use. When assessing the value in use, the estimated future cash flow is discounted to current value by pre-tax discount rate. The pre-tax discount rate shall reflect the specific risk assessment of the current market toward

~21~

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

the time value of money and the asset or cash generation unit.

If the collectible amount of individual asset or cash generation unit is less than the book value, the amount shall be recognized as impairment loss.

The impairment loss is immediately recognized as income and the book value of each amortized cash-generating unit shall be reduced first, then the book values of other assets shall be reduced based on each book value ratio of each asset in the unit.

The impairment loss on goodwill shall not be reversed. The non-financial assets other than goodwill can only be reversed within the book value of the asset (less depreciation or amortization) without impairment loss recognized in the previous year.

  • (XI) Employee benefits

  • Defined contribution plan

The obligation of defined contribution plan is recognized as expense during the service period of the employee. The prepaid contribution may be recognized as assets, insofar as it may result in the refunding of cash or the reduction of future payment.

  1. Defined benefit plan

The net obligation of the defined benefit plan by the Company is converted to the present value based on the future benefit earned from the services provided by the employees in the current period or in the past subtracting the fair value of the plan assets.

A qualified actuary using the Projected Unit Credit Method estimates defined benefit obligations each year. When the calculation result may be favorable to the Company, the assets recognized shall be no more than the refund under the plan or the present value of economic benefit to be earned by decrease in the contribution under the plan. The calculation of present value of economic benefit shall take into consideration the minimum funding contribution needed.

The re-measurement of net defined benefit liability, including the actuarial income, return on remuneration of planned assets (excluding interest) and any change in the asset cap effect (excluding interest), is immediately recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the retained earnings. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) of the net defined benefit liability (assets) by the net defined benefit liability (assets) and discount rate determined during the start of the reporting period. The net interest expense of the net defined benefit liability and other expenses are recognized as income.

When the plan is modified or reduced, the benefit variance generated in relation to the previous service cost or impaired gain or loss is immediately recognized as

~22~

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

income. In the event of settlement of the Company, recognize the profits and loss of settlement of the welfare plan.

  1. Other long-term employee benefits

The net obligation of other long-term employee benefits by the Company is converted to the present value based on the future benefit earned from the services provided by the employees in the current period or in the past. The re-measurement is recognized as income upon occurrence.

  1. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefit obligation shall be recognized as expense when the service is provided by the employee. If the Company has a present statutory or presumed benefit obligation due to the past service provided by employee and such obligation may be estimated reliably, the amount shall be recognized as liabilities.

  • (XII) Income tax

The income tax consists of current income tax and deferred income tax. The current income tax and deferred income tax shall be recognized in profit or loss, other than the income tax related to combined entities, and items stated into other comprehensive income or stated into equity directly.

The current income tax includes the projected income tax payable or tax refund receivable based on the current taxable income (loss), and the adjustment on income tax payable or tax refund receivable in the previous years. The amount refers to the best estimates of the expected payables or receivables measured on the basis of the statutory tax rate or tax rate substantially enacted on the reporting date.

The deferred income tax is recognized based on the book value of assets and liabilities for the purpose of financial reporting and temporary difference generated from the taxation basis for assets and liabilities. No deferred income tax will be recognized in the case of the temporary difference generated under the following circumstances:

  1. Assets or liabilities recognized initially in the transactions other than combined business, and the accounting profit and taxable income (loss) remain unaffected at the time of transaction.

  2. Taxable temporary difference generated from investment in subsidiaries, affiliates and joint ventures, of which the time of reverse is controllable by the Company and which is not likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future;

  3. Taxable temporary difference generate from the initial recognition of goodwill. The unused taxation loss and unused income tax credit carry-forward and deductible

temporary difference shall be stated as deferred income tax assets when the temporary difference is very likely to credit against the future taxable income. Meanwhile, revaluation shall be conducted on each reporting date, so that the related income tax gains may be

~23~

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

adjusted or decreased when they are not likely to be realized; or when it is very likely that there will be sufficient taxable income afford to reverse the decreased amount.

The deferred income tax is measured at the tax rate prevailing when the temporary difference is reversed, and based on the statutory tax rate or tax rate substantially enacted on the reporting date.

The company will offset deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities only when the following conditions are satisfied:

  1. When the company is entitled to the right to offset the current income tax assets against the current income tax liabilities; and

  2. The deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities are related to the subjects on whom the same tax collection authority imposed the income tax;

  3. (1) The same tax collection subject; or

  4. (2) Different subjects, but each subject desires to repay the assets and liabilities on a net basis or concurrently realize and repay the assets and liabilities in each of the following periods in which the major deferred income tax assets are expected to recovered and deferred income tax liabilities are expected to be repaid.

(XIII) EPS

The company lists the basic and diluted earnings per share of the common stock shareholders of the Company. The Company’s basic earnings per share is based on the profit or loss of the Company’s common stock shareholder divided by the weighted average number of outstanding common stock shares of the period. The diluted EPS is calculated upon adjustment of the effect of all potential diluted common stocks based on the income vested in the common stock holders and the number of shares of the weighted average outstanding common stock.

(XIV) Department information

The Company had department information disclosed in the consolidated financial statements; therefore, the department information was not disclosed in the parent company only financial statements.

V. Significant accounting judgments, estimations and major sources of assumption uncertainty

When the management has the parent company only financial statements prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, it is necessary to make judgments, estimations, and assumptions that are influential to the accounting policies adopted and the assets, liabilities, and income and expenses amount reported.

Pursuant to the Company Act, the capital surplus shall be first used to offset losses, then new shares or cash may be allocated based on realized capital surplus subject to shareholding ratio. The term realized capital surplus mentioned above includes the shares issued at premium excessing the par value and the gains in the form of gifts. According to the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by the Issuer, the capital surplus that can be capitalized annually shall not exceed 10% of the total paid-in capital.

3. Retained earnings

Pursuant to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, if the Company has annual earnings, it shall first pay taxes, make up any losses from past years and then appropriate 10% as legal reserves, unless the legal reserve reaches the amount of the Company’s paid-in capital; if necessary, make provision of special reserves according to the laws and the needs of company operation. The residual earnings shall be added to undistributed earnings at the beginning. The Board of Directors shall draft a motion for the distribution of the residual earnings and submit to the shareholders' meeting for distribution.

The Company is now at the stable growth stage and most of the earnings are from the investees recognized under the equity method. For the sustainable operation and long-term development of the company, the Company shall appropriate 10% of the earnings concluded at year-end as legal reserve and appropriate or reverse the special

~37~

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

reserve according to the laws and regulations besides offsetting the accumulated losses and paying all taxes. When distributing the remaining earnings with the accumulated earnings undistributed in the previous year in the form of new shares, the Board of Directors shall propose a motion and submit it to the shareholders’ meeting for approval before distribution. In accordance with Article 240 Paragraph 5 of the Company Act, if the aforementioned earnings are distributed in the form of cash, approval for such distribution should be passed by at least half of the Directors in attendance in a Board meeting attended by no less than two-thirds of all Board members. The results should then be reported during a shareholders' meeting.

The directors' meeting shall consider the financial structure of the Company, future funding demand and profit-seeking conditions to plan the ratio of the earning distribution and shareholder’s cash dividends and the cash dividends shall not be less than 10% of the total dividends.

  • (1) Legal reserve

When the Company suffers no loss, new shares or cash may be allocated from the legal reserve upon resolution of the shareholders’ meeting, provided that the new shares or cash allocated shall be no more than 25% of the paid-in capital

(2) Special reserve

When first applying the IFRS approved by the FSC, the Company chose to adopt the exemption in IFRS 1 “First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards”. The unrealized revaluation increment under the shareholder’s equity was stated following the rule of using the fair value on the conversion date as the recognized cost to increase retained earnings. Pursuant to the FSC’s requirements, a same amount of special reserves should be stated. When relative assets were used, disposed or reclassified, the original rate to state the special reserves could be used to reverse the allocation of earnings. The special reserves balances on December 31 in 2023 and 2022 were both NT$141,843 thousand.

According to the FSC’s requirements, when the Company distributes the distributable earnings, for the deduction net amount of other shareholders’ equity stated in the current year and the difference of special reserves balance stated above, the special reserves shall be stated from current profit or loss and the undistributed earnings in the previous period. For the deduction amount of other shareholders’ equity in the previous period, special reserves shall be stated from undistributed earnings in the previous period and shall not be distributed. If the deduction amount of other shareholders’ equity reverses, the earnings of the

~38~

reversing part can be distributed.

(3) Distribution of earnings

The company does not expect the maturity analysis of cash flows will be significantly pre-matured or the actual amount will be significantly different. 3. Exchange rate risk

(1) Exchange rate risk exposure

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the company has no financial assets and liabilities exposed to significant foreign currency exchange rate risk.

(2) Sensitivity analysis

Please refer to Exchange rate risk.

4. Interest rate analysis

Please refer to the note regarding liquidity risk management for the interest rate risk exposure of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities.

The following sensitivity analyzes are based on the interest rate risk exposure of the derivative and non-derivative instruments on the reporting date. The analysis of

~45~

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

floating rate liabilities is by assuming the outstanding liability amount on the reporting date stays outstanding the entire year. The rate of change used in the Company’s internal report to the management was the interest rate with an increase or decrease of 0.5%. In addition, the interest rate is assessed within the reasonable and possible range of change by the management.

If interest rate is increased or decreased by 0.5%, with all other variables stayed unchanged, the Company’s net profit would decrease by NT$8,000 thousand in 2023 and increase by NT$10,200 thousand in 2022 due to the change in interest rate made by the Company.

5. Other pricing risk

The impact of the changes in equity price on the reporting date (the analysis of two terms is completed by using the same basis, and assuming all other variables held constant) on the comprehensive profit and loss is as follows:

  • (2) Evaluation technology of the fair value for the financial instrument measured at fair value

Non-derivative instruments

If a financial instrument has a quoted price in the active market, the quoted price will be the fair value. The market price announced by the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation is the basis for the fair value of the listed companies’ equity instrument.

If the open quotation of the financial instrument can be timely and frequently acquired from the exchanges, brokers, underwriters, industrial unions, pricing service institutions or competent authorities and the price represents the actual and fair market transaction which occurs frequently, then the financial instrument has a open quotation of the active market. If the conditions mentioned above are not fulfilled, the market is not viewed as a active one. Generally, great bid-ask spread, significant increase in bid-ask spread or less trading volume are indexes of inactive market.

If the financial instrument possessed by the Company is in the active market, its fair value is listed by category and attribute below:

The fair value of financial assets and liabilities and listed company stocks with standard terms/conditions and traded in the active market shall be decided subject to the market quotation.

Except for the financial instrument in the active market stated above, the fair value of other financial instruments is determined in accordance with the generally accepted pricing models based on the cash flow discount analysis.

If the financial instrument possessed by the Company is in the inactive market, its fair value is listed by category and attribute below:

Equity instrument with no open quotation: the fair value is measured using the cash flow discount model. The main assumption is to apply the expected cash flow estimated by the investee to reflect the time value of money and the risk and rate of return on investment and measure with the discount. When adopting the market approach to measure the fair value, the main assumption uses the quotation of the listed company to calculate the P/S ratio (sales multiple) and applies it on the measurement. The discount effect resulting from the lack of market liquidity of the equity security is considered and the estimated number has been adjusted.

(3) Transfer between Class I and Class II

There was no transfer of financial assets from Class II to Class I in 2023 and

Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Most of the fair value of the Company has only one unobservable major input. Only the equity instrument investment that is not in an active market has multiple unobservable major inputs. The unobservable major inputs of the equity instrument investment that is not in an active market are separated from one another. They are not relevant to each other.
