Independent Auditors’ Report Translated from Chinese

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheet of Loop Telecommunication International, Inc. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies).

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the accompanying parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the parent company only Financial Statements section of our report. We comply with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China and independent of the Company. We have also fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the Company for the

  • 3 -

year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 is stated as follows:

Revenue recognition

  1. The major revenue sources of Company includes the production and sales of user remote line disconnectors, high-speed network access equipment, smart network resource management selectors, and other relevant products. As revenue has material effects on the 2022 parent company only financial statements of Loop Telecommunication International, Inc., revenue recognition involves manual control operations, and there are risks related to sales counterparties and the authenticity of transactions due to the significant growth in the revenue from partial customers, we have identified the revenue recognition as a key audit matter. For the accounting policies of revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4.(12) to the parent company only financial statements.

  2. In response to the abovementioned risks, we have performed the following audit procedures:

  3. (1) Understand and test the internal control systems and procedures related to the cycle of sales transactions to identify and evaluate the effectiveness of the internal control procedures involved in making sales transactions.

  4. (2) Sample whether internal orders are approved by the responsible supervisor.

  5. (3) Sample whether external orders and transportation documents have been obtained for revenue recognition and whether the amount and the invoiced amount are consistent.

  6. (4) Sample whether the amount of collection after the period for relevant sales income transactions, remittance certificates, and counterparties is consistent with the amount of revenue recognition and counterparties.

Responsibilities of the Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Individual Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the 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 for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

  • 4 -

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including members of the Audit Committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

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 as a whole 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate; they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the parent company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing 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 one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

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

  4. 5 -

  5. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company 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 disclosures) and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  7. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinions on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

IV. Summary of significant accounting policies (I) Statement of compliance

The parent company only financial statements were prepared according to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. (II) Basis of preparation

Except for financial instruments at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the presentt value of defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets, the parent company only financial statements are prepared based on historical costs.

The measurement of fair value is divided into levels 1 to 3 based on the observable level and significance of relevant inputs:

  1. Level 1 input: Refer to quotations (unadjusted) of equivalent assets or liabilities available in the active market on the measurement date.

  2. Level 2 input: Refer to direct (i.e., prices) or indirect (i.e., inferred from prices) observable inputs of assets or liabilities other than level 1 quotations

  3. Level 3 input: Refer to unobservable inputs of assets or liabilities. When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company adopts the equity method for the treatment of the subsidiaries it invested investment. To allow the profit or loss of the year, other comprehensive income, and equity in the parent company only financial statements to be equivalent to profit or loss of the year, other comprehensive income, and equity attributable to owners of the Company in the Company’s consolidated financial statements, “investments accounted for using the equity method,” “share of profit or loss of subsidiaries certain accounting differences accounted for using the equity method,” and relevant equity items are adjusted under the parent company only basis and consolidation basis.

  4. 16 -

(III) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  1. Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

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

  3. Cash and cash equivalents (excluding those restricted for being used for exchange or settling liabilities over 12 months after the balance sheet date).

Current liabilities include:

  1. Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  2. Liabilities expected to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period (they shall be current liabilities even if a long-term refinancing or re-arranged payment agreement is entered into after the balance sheet date and before the approval of the publication of the financial statements); and

  3. Liabilities with a settlement deadline that cannot be unconditionally deferred to at least 12 months after the reporting period. However, terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  4. Liabilities that are not current assets or current liabilities described above are

  5. non-current assets and non-current liabilities.

  6. (IV) Foreign currency

When preparing the parent company only financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency of the Company (foreign currencies) are translated into functional currencies at the exchange rate on the transaction date for records.

Monetary items in foreign currencies are translated at the closing exchange rate on each balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the delivery of monetary items or the translation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the year of occurrence.

Non-monetary items in foreign currencies at fair value are translated at the exchange rate on the date determining the fair value, and the exchange difference arising thereof is presented as profit or loss of the period; however, for changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income, exchange difference arising thereof shall be recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • 17 -

Non-monetary items in foreign currencies at historical costs shall be translated at the exchange rate on the transaction date without re-translation.

(V)

When preparing the parent company only financial statements, assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations (including subsidiaries in different countries or using currencies different from the Company) are translated into NTD at the exchange rate on each balance sheet date. Items of income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rate of the period, and the exchange difference arising thereof is recognized in other comprehensive income. Inventory

Inventory includes raw materials, work-in-progress, and finished goods. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Except for inventories of the same category, the comparison of the lower of cost and net realizable value is made on an item-by-item basis. The net realizable value represents the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less all estimated costs of completion and necessary selling expenses. The weighted average method is adopted for the calculation of the costs of inventory.

  • (VI) Investments in subsidiaries

The Company adopts the equity method for treating investments in subsidiaries. Subsidiaries are entities the Company has control over.

Under the equity method, investments are initially recognized at costs, and the carrying amount after the acquisition increases/decreases in the share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and other comprehensive income and profit allocation entitled to the Company. In addition, changes in other equity of subsidiaries entitled to the Company are recognized based on the shareholding ratio.

Changes in the Company's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in loss of control are treated as equity transactions. The carrying amount of investments and the differences between the fair value of considerations paid or received are directly recognized as equity.

If the share of loss of subsidiaries of the Company equals or exceeds the interests in such subsidiaries (including the carrying amount of subsidiaries under the equity method and other long-term equity of net investment components in such subsidiaries that is substantially attributable to the Company), it continues to recognize losses based on the shareholding ratio.

  • 18 -

When assessing impairment, the Company considers cash-generating units and compares their recoverable amount and carrying amount for the financial statements as a whole. Subsequently, if the recoverable amount of assets increases, the reversal of impairment losses is recognized as gains; however, the carrying amount of assets after the reversal of impairment losses shall not exceed the carrying amount of such assets less amortization that should be provided when no impairment loss is recognized. The impairment losses attributable to goodwill may not be reversed subsequently.

Unrealized profit or loss of downstream transactions between the Company and subsidiaries are eliminated in the parent company only financial statements. Profit or loss arising from upstream and side stream transactions between the Company and subsidiaries are recognized in the parent company only financial statements within the scope that are not related to the interest of the Company in subsidiaries.

(VII) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are recognized at costs, and subsequently measured at the amount of costs less cumulative depreciation and cumulative impairment losses.

The Company separately provides depreciation for each material component of property, plant and equipment within the useful life on a straight-line basis. The Company shall examine the estimated useful life, residual value, and depreciation method at least at the end of each year and postpone the effects of changes in applicable accounting estimation.

For the derecognition of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal considerations and the carrying amount of such assets is recognized in profit or loss.

(VIII) Investment properties

Investment properties refer to properties held for earning rental or capital appreciation or both (including right-of-use assets that fulfill the definition of investment properties).

Self-owned investment properties are initially measured at costs (including transaction costs), and subsequently measured at the amount of costs less cumulative depreciation and cumulative impairment losses.

Investment properties obtained via leases are initially measured at costs (including the initial measurement of lease liabilities), and subsequently measured at

  • 19 -

the amount of costs less cumulative depreciation and cumulative impairment losses, with adjustments made to the remeasurement of lease liabilities.

Depreciation is provided for all investment properties on a straight-line basis. For properties under property, plant and equipment, their carrying amounts are transferred to investment properties upon the end of the self-use period.

For the derecognition of investment properties, the difference between the net disposal considerations and the carrying amount of such assets is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (IX) Intangible assets

  • Individually acquired

Intangible assets with definite useful life that are individually acquired are initially measured at costs, and subsequently measured at the amount of costs less cumulative amortization and cumulative impairment losses. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis within their useful like. The Company shall examine the estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method at least at the end of each year and postpone the effects of changes in applicable accounting estimation. Intangible assets with indefinite useful life are presented at costs less cumulative impairment losses.

  1. Derecognition

For the derecognition of intangible assets, the difference between the net disposal considerations and the carrying amount of such assets is recognized in profit or loss of the period.

  • (X) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets

The Company evaluates whether there is any indication of impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets on each balance sheet date. If any such indication of impairment exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. If the recoverable amount of the individual asset cannot be estimated, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less disposal costs and its value in use. If the recoverable amount of individual assets or cash-generating units is lower than their carrying amounts, the carrying amount of such assets or cash-generating units shall be reduced to the recoverable amount, and the impairment losses shall be recognized in profit or loss.

  • 20 -

If impairment losses are subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of such assets or cash-generating units shall be increased to the recoverable amount after amendments; however, the increased carrying amount shall not exceed the carrying amount determined of the carrying amount of such assets or cash-generating units if there were no impairment losses recognized in prior years (less amortization or depreciation). The reversal of impairment losses is recognized in profit or loss. (XI) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the parent company only balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contract terms of such instruments.

For the initial recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, if financial assets or financial liabilities are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, they shall be measured at the carrying amount plus the transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are immediately recognized as profit or loss.

  1. Financial assets

Regular transactions of financial assets are recognized and derecognized by adopting trade date accounting.

  • (1) Measurement category

On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as financial assets at amortized cost and financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss include financial assets designated as measuring at value through profit or loss.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, and their d4idends and remeasurement gains or losses are recognized in other income and other gains and losses, respect4ely. For the determination method of fair value, please refer to Note 26.

B. Financial assets measured at amortized cost

  • 21 -

If the financial assets of the Company concurrently fulfill both of the following conditions, they are recognized as financial assets at amortized costs:

  • a. Held under a certain operating model, and the purpose of the model if to hold financial assets to collect contract cash flows; and

  • b. Contract terms generate cash flows on particulate dates, and such cash flows are fully used to pay the principal and interests of the outstanding principal.

Financial assets at amortized costs (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivables at amortized costs) are measured at a total carrying amount determined by using the effective interest method less amortized costs of any impairment losses after the initial recognition; any gains or losses on exchange gains are recognized in profit or loss.

Cash equivalents include short-term and high-liquidity time deposits within 3 months that can be converted to a fixed amount of cash at any time with minor risk of changes in value, and are used to satisfy short-term cash commitments instead of investments or other purposes.

  • (2) Impairment of financial assets and contract assets

The Company evaluates the impairment losses of financial assets at amortized costs (including accounts receivable) and contract assets based on ECL on each balance sheet date.

Loss allowance of accounts receivables and contract assets are recognized based on the lifetime ECL. For other financial assets, the Company evaluates whether credit risks have significantly increased after the initial recognition. If there is no significant increase, the Company recognizes loss allowance based on the 12-month ECL; if there is a significant increase, the Company recognizes loss allowance based on the lifetime ECL.

ECL is average credit loss using default risks as its weight. 12-month ECL refers to ECL that may arise from possible defaults of financial instruments within 12 months after the reporting date; lifetime

  • 22 -

ECL refers to ECL that may arise from all defaults of financial instruments during the lifetime.

The Company reduces the carrying amount via the allowance account for the impairment losses of all financial assets.

  • (3) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset become invalid, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred.

For the derecognition of financial assets at amortized cost, the difference between the carrying amount and the considerations received is recognized in profit or loss.

  1. Equity instruments

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the amount after deducting direct issuance costs from the obtained proceeds.

The retrieval of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized and deducted under equity. Acquisition, disposals, issuance, or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments is not recognized in profit or loss.

  1. Financial liabilities

  2. (1) Subsequent measurement

All financial liabilities are measured at amortized costs by adopting the effective interest method.

  • (2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

  • 23 -

(XII) Revenue recognition

After the Company has identified the performance obligations in a contract with a customer, it allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation and recognizes income when fulfilling each performance obligation.

  1. Sales revenue of products

Sales revenue of products is primarily from the sales of optical transport network access equipment, U interface and MDSL interface multiplexer, network management systems, Internet access equipment, time-slot interchanger, and other products. From the shipping of products sold, customers are entitled to pricing and use, hold the primary responsibilities for reselling, and assume the risks of product obsolescence. The Company recognizes income and contract assets at the point of time and transfers them to accounts receivable after the performance of the remaining obligations. Prepayments for the sales of products are recognized as contract liabilities before the products arrive.

  1. Service revenue

  2. Service revenue arises from educational training services and

  3. software/hardware installation services.

With educational training services and software/hardware installation services provided by the Company, customers also obtain and consume performance benefits. The Company recognizes relevant income based on the service provided by technicians over time during the contract period. It is agreed in contracts that customers shall make payments after the installation and acceptance; therefore, the Company recognizes contract assets when providing services and transfers them to accounts receivable upon the completion of installation and acceptance.

(XIII) Lease

The Company evaluates whether a contract is (or includes) a lease on the establishment date of the contract.

  1. The Company as the lessor

All leases are classified as operating leases.

Under operating leases, lease payments are recognized as gains during the relevant leasing period on a straight-line basis.

  • 24 -

Variable rentals not subject to the index or rate used in the lease agreement are recognized as gains during the period.

When a lease contains elements of land and building, the Company evaluates the classification of elements into financing lease or operating lease depending on whether the majority of all risks and compensation of the ownership of each element is transferred to the lessee. Lease payments are allocated to land and buildings based on the corresponding ratio of the fair value of leasing rights of land and buildings on the establishment date of the contract. If lease payments may be reliably allocated to such two elements, each element is treated based on the applicable lease classification. If lease payments may not be reliably allocated to such two elements, the overall lease is classified as a financing lease; however, if such two elements are evidently in line with the standards of operating leases, the overall lease is classified as an operating lease.

  1. The Company as the lessee

Except for lease payments of low-value target asset leases and short-term leases with recognition exemption applicable recognizing as expenses within the leasing period on a straight-line basis, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized for other leases on the commencement date of leases.

Right-of-use assets obtained via leases are initially measured at costs (including the initial measurement of lease liabilities), and subsequently measured at the amount of costs less cumulative depreciation and cumulative impairment losses, with adjustments made to the remeasurement of lease liabilities. Apart from those complying with the definition of investment properties, right-of-use assets are separately presented in the parent company only balance sheet. For the recognition and measurement of right-of-use assets fulfilling the definition of investment properties, please refer to the accounting policies of investment properties in (VIII).

Depreciation is provided for investment properties one a straight-line basis from the commencement date of the lease to the earlier of the expiry of the useful life or the expiry of the leasing period.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the current value of lease payments (including fixed payments). If the implied interest rate of leases may be easily confirmed, lease payments are discounted by using the interest rate. If

  • 25 -

the interest rate may not be easily confirmed, the incremental borrowing interest rate of lessees is used.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized costs, and the interest expenses are allocated during the leasing period. If there is any change in lease payment in the future resulting from the index or rate used to determine the lease payment during the leasing period, the Company remeasures lease liabilities and makes adjustments to right-of-use assets accordingly; however, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to nil, the remaining remeasurement amount shall be recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are separately presented in the parent company only balance sheet.

(XIV) Borrowing costs

All borrowing costs are recognized as profit or loss during the period of occurrence.

  • (XV) Governmental grants

Governmental grants are recognized only upon the receipt of such grants when it is reasonably assured that the Company will comply with the additional conditions of governmental grants.

  • (XVI) Employees benefits

  • Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities related to short-term employee benefits are measured at the non-discounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for employees’ services.

  1. Post-employment benefits

Pension of the defined contribution plan is recognized as expenses based on the amount of pension to be contributed during the period in which employees provide their services.

The projected unit credit method is adopted for the actuarial valuation of defined benefit costs of the defined benefit plan (including service costs, net profit, and remeasurement). Current period service costs and net interest of net defined liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefit expenses upon occurrence. Remeasurements (including actuarial gains or losses and plan asset compensation after interest) are recognized in other comprehensive income and

  • 26 -

presented as other equity upon the occurrence and will not be reclassified to profit or loss subsequently.

Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are the appropriation deficit (surplus) of the defined benefit plan. Net defined benefit assets shall not exceed the current value of the amount of appropriation refunded from the plan or the amount of appropriation that may be reduced in the future.

  1. Severance benefits

The Company recognizes severance benefit liabilities when it can no longer cancel the offer of severance benefits or recognize relevant reorganization costs (the earlier).

(XVII) Income tax

Income tax expenses are the sum of income tax of the period and deferred income tax.

  1. Income tax of the period

The additional income tax on undistributed earnings calculated based on the Income Tax Act of the Republic of China is recognized during the year of the shareholders’ resolution.

Adjustments to income taxes payable in prior years are recognized as income tax of the period.

  1. Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is calculated based on the temporary difference between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities accounted for and the taxation basis for calculating income tax.

Deferred income tax liabilities shall be recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred income tax assets are recognized when it is likely to offset the deductible temporary differences and income tax credits arising from R&D and other expenses.

Temporary taxable differences related to subsidiaries it invested are recognized as deferred income tax liabilities, except when the Company is able to control the point of time to reverse the temporary differences, and such temporary differences are not likely to be reversed in the foreseeable future. Deductible temporary differences related to such investments are only recognized as deferred income tax assets when it is likely that there will be

  • 27 -

sufficient taxable income to realize the temporary differences and when it is expected to be within the reversal scope in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is re-examined on each balance sheet date, and the carrying amount is adjusted for those having no possible, sufficient taxable income to recover the entire or partial assets. For those not recognized as deferred income tax assets initially, the Company also re-examines them on each balance sheet date and increases their carrying amounts when it is likely to have taxable income to recover the entire or partial assets in the future.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate of the period in which the liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or realized, respectively, and the tax rate is based on the tax rate and tax laws enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred income tax reflects the tax consequences of the method for recovering or settling the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities by the Company after the balance sheet date.

  1. Deferred income tax of the period

Deferred income tax of the period is recognized in profit or loss; however, deferred income tax related to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in equity, respectively.

  • V. Significant accounting judgments and key source of uncertainties for estimations and assumptions

When adopting accounting policies, the management shall make relevant judgments, estimations, and assumptions based on its historical experience and other relevant factors when it is difficult to obtain relevant information from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company includes the recent development of COVID-19 and the possible effects on the economic environment and inflation, and market fluctuations into the considerations for cash flow estimation, growth rate, discount rate, profitability, and other relevant material accounting estimation; the management will continue to examine the estimates and basic assumptions. If the amendment to an estimate only affects the current period, it is recognized in the period of the amendment. If the amendment to

  • 28 -

accounting estimates affects the current period and future periods, it is recognized in the period of the amendment and future periods.

Uncertainties for estimations and assumptions

  • (I) Estimated impairment of financial assets

The estimated impairment of accounts receivable is based on the assumption of the Company for default probability and default loss ratio. The Company considers its historical experience, current market status, and forward-looking information to form the assumptions and select the input value for impairment assessment. For the material assumptions and inputs adopted, please refer to Note 9. If the actual cash flow in the future is less than the Company’s expectations, there may be material impairment losses.

  • (II) Inventory impairment

The net realizable value of inventories is estimated based on the balance of estimated selling price during the course of normal operations less the estimated costs required to be invested in until the completion and the costs required until the completion of sales; such estimates are evaluated based on the current market condition and the historical sales experience of similar products; any change in the market condition may materially affect the results of such estimates.

The average credit period of product sales is settled by month or within 30 to 90 days from the issuance of the invoice; no interest is accrued for accounts receivable.

records and allocated the total transaction amount to different customers with qualified credit ratings. In addition, it regularly reviews and approves the credit limits of counterparties to manage its credit exposure.

The Company recognizes loss allowance of accounts receivable based on lifetime expected credit loss. Lifetime expected credit loss is calculated by using the provision matrix, which considers the past default records and current financial positions of customers, industrial and economic status, and considers GDP and the unemployment rate. Based on the Company’s past experience of credit losses, there is no material difference between the loss patterns of different customer bases; therefore, customer bases are not further distinguished for the provision matrix, and the expected credit loss rate is determined based on the number of overdue days of accounts receivable.

Loss allowance of accounts receivable measured based on the provision matrix is as follows:

XIX. Retirement benefit plan

  • (I) Defined contribution plans

The pension system under the “Labor Pension Act” applicable to the Company is a defined contribution plan managed by the government, and the Company appropriates 6% of the monthly salaries of employees to the personal accounts with the Bureau of Labor Insurance.

  • (II) Defined benefit plans

The pension system, organized in accordance with the “Labor Standards Act” of R.O.C , is a defined benefit plan managed by the government. The payment of an employee’s retirement pension is calculated based on the service seniority and average wages during the six months before the approved retirement date. The Company appropriates 6% of the total monthly salaries of employees as the pension for the Supervisory Committee of Labor Retirement Reserve to deposit in the account with the Bank of Taiwan in the name of the Committee. At the end of the year, if it is estimated that the balance of the account is not sufficient to make the payments for laborers who are estimated to fulfill the retirement conditions in the following year, the Company will appropriate the difference in a lump sum by the end of March in the following year. The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor, is entrusted with the management of the account, and the Company has no right to affect the investment and management strategies.

The Company is exposed to the following risks due to the pension system under the “Labor Standards Act”:

  1. Investment risks: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor, invests labor pension funds in domestic (foreign) equity securities, debt securities, bank deposits, and other targets by way of self-utilization or entrusted management; however, the amount available for allocation of the Company’s plan assets shall not be lower than the gains calculated at the interest rate for two-year time deposits with local banks.

  2. Interest rate risks: A decrease in the government bonds interest rate will lead to an increase in the current value of the defined benefit obligations; however, debt investment returns of plan assets will also increase; both items have partial offsetting effects on net defined benefit liabilities.

  3. Salary risks: The calculation of the current value of defined benefit obligations refers to the future salaries of the plan’s participants. Therefore, an increase in the salaries of the plan’s participants will result in an increase in the current value of defined benefit obligations.

  4. 40 -

The actuarial valuation for the current value of defined benefit obligations of the Company is performed by a qualified actuary; the material assumption adopted on the measurement date is as follows:

the measurement date is as follows:
Discount rate
Expected increase rate of
salaries
December 31,2022
1.25%
3.00%
December 31,2021

3.00%

If there are reasonable and possible changes in a material actuarial assumption and when all other assumptions remain unchanged, the increase (decrease) in the current value of defined benefit obligations is as follows:

Increased by 0.25%
Decreased by 0.25%

employees will be distributed in stock and calculates the diluted earnings per share by

including the weighted average number of outstanding shares when potential ordinary

shares have diluted effects. When calculating diluted earnings per share before resolving

the number of shares for the distribution of remuneration of employees in the following

year, the Company continues to consider the diluted effects of such potential ordinary shares.

  • (IV) Financial risk management purpose and policy

The Company’s main financial instruments include investments in equity instruments, cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, bank borrowings, accounts payable, and lease liabilities. The financial management department of the Company provides services for all business departments, coordinates the entrance to domestic and international financial markets for operations, analyzes the internal risk of exposure based on the level and width of risks, and monitors and manages financial risks related to the operations of the Company. Such risks include market risks (including exchange rate risks, interest rate risks, and other price risks), credit risks, and liquidity risks.

  1. Market risks

The major financial risks assumed by the Company due to its operating activities are the risk of changes in exchange rates (please refer to (1) below for details) and the risk of changes in interest rates (please refer to (2) below for details).

There is no change in the exposure to financial instrument market risks of the Company and its management and measurement methods of such exposures.

  • (1) Exchange rate risks

The Company engages in sales and purchases denominated in foreign currencies, resulting in the exposure of the Company to changes in exchange rates. The management of exchange rate exposure of the Company is to utilize natural hedging methods for risk management within the scope permitted under its policies.

For the carrying amount of monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies of the Company on the balance sheet date, please refer to Note 30.

Sensitivity analysis

  • 52 -

The Company is primarily affected by the fluctuation of the USD exchange rate.

The following table describes the sensitivity analysis of the Company when the exchange rate of the functional currency appreciates and depreciates by 1% for each of the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity ratio used to report to the major management within the Group for exchange rate risks is 1%, which also represents the scope of reasonable and possible changes in exchange rates assessed by the management. The sensitivity analysis only includes outstanding monetary items in foreign currencies, and adjustments are made to their translation at the end of the period based on a change of 1%. The positive figures in the following table refer to the increase in net income before tax when NTD depreciates by 1% against relevant currencies; when NTD appreciates by 1% against relevant currencies, the effects on net income before tax will be the same amount in negative.

  • (2) Interest rate risks

Interest rate exposure arising from the borrowing of capital at fixed and floating rates by entities within the Company. The Company manages the interest rates risk by maintaining an adequate portfolio of fixed and variable interest rates.

The carrying amount of financial assets and financial liabilities under interest rate exposure on the balance sheet date is as follows:

December 31,2022 December 31,2

December 31,2022 December 31,2
With cash flow interest

- Financial assets 100,545 98,277
- Financial liabilities 1,936 4,225

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk exposure to the interest rates risk of non-derivative instruments on the balance sheet date. Regarding liabilities with variable interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of liabilities outstanding on the balance sheet date was outstanding throughout the reporting period. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.1% when reporting to the key management internally, which also represents the management's assessment of the reasonable and possible scope of change in interest rates.

With other variables remaining unchanged, if the interest rate increases/decreases by 0.1%, the net income before tax of the Company in 2022 and 2021 will increase/decrease by NT$99 thousand and NT$94 thousand in 2022 and 2021, respectively, primarily due to the interest rate exposure of net assets at variable interest rates.

(3) Other price risks

The Company has equity price exposure arising from its investments in equity securities. Such equity investments are not held for trading purposes but strategic investments; the Company is not actively trading such investments. In addition, the Company has appointed a particular team to monitor price risks and evaluate the timing to increase the hedging positions of the risks hedged.

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the equity price on the balance sheet date.

If the equity price increases/decreases by 5%, net income before tax in 2022 and 2021 will increase/decrease by NT$1,677 thousand and NT$16 thousand, respectively, due to the increase/decrease in the fair value of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

  • 54 -

2. Credit risks

Credit risks refer to risks of financial losses of the Company resulting from the delay in performing contract obligations of counterparties. As of the balance sheet date, the maximum credit risk exposure of financial losses that may incur to the Company due to non-performance of obligations by counterparties and the provision of financial guarantees is the carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.

3.

To mitigate credit risks, the management of the Company has appointed a dedicated team to be responsible for the decision of loan limits, loan approval, and other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions are adopted for the recovery of overdue amounts receivable. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of amounts receivables on a case-by-case basis on the balance sheet date to ensure impairment losses are provided for amounts receivable not recoverable. Accordingly, the management of the Company considers that the credit risks of the Company have reduced significantly. Liquidity risks

The Company supports its operations and mitigates the effects of cash flow fluctuation by managing and maintaining abundant positions of cash and cash equivalents. The management of the Company monitors the use status of financing limits with banks and ensures compliance with the terms of borrowing contracts.

Bank borrowings represent a material source of liquidity to the Company. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company has not utilized any financing limit; please refer to the description of the financing limit in (3) below.

  • (1) Table of liquidity and interest rate risks of non-derivate financial liabilities
