Independent Auditor’s Report
To the Board of Directors of Lotes Co., Ltd.:
Audit opinion
We have audited the Consolidated Balance Sheet of Lotes Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (Lotes Group) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income as of January 1 to December 31, 2024 and 2023 as well as the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows and the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statement (including important accounting policies summary).
In our opinions, the compilation of the above consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, of the financial status of December 31, 2024 and 2023 in Lotes Group and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flow of January 1 to December 31, 2024 and 2023 prepared according to Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), and Interpretations approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission and issued into effect. Basis of the audit opinions
The audit was conducted by us in accordance with the Rules Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS). Our responsibilities under these standards will be further explained in the responsibility paragraph of the accountant’s audit on the consolidated financial statements. The personnel regulated by independence at the accounting firm that our accountants work with have been managed according to the code of professional ethics to maintain independence from Lotes Group as well as perform other responsibilities addressed on the regulation. Based on the audit results of us, we believe we have obtained sufficient and appropriate auditing evidence as the basis to express our audit opinions.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters refer to the most important matters on the audits to Lotes Group’s consolidated financial statements of fiscal year 2024 based on the professional judgment of our accountants. The matters have been responded on the whole audited consolidated financial statements and during the process of the expression of the audit opinions. There, our accountants will not express opinions separately towards the matters. Based on the judgment of the accountants, the following key audit matters that should be communicated on the audit report are as follows: I. Recognition of income
Please refer to Note IV (16) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy in terms of income recognition. Please refer to Note VI (16) to the consolidated financial statements for the refund liability. Please refer to Note VI (24) to the consolidated financial statements for details about income.
~4~
Description of the key audit matters:
The operating income is the most critical factor when determining the operational performance of Lotes Group. Users of the statements are cautiously concerned about the performance of the operating income. In response to the market conditions and business needs, discounts were provided for parts of the sales of goods agreed with the customers. Based on the agreements with the customers, the management would estimate the refund liability and include it as a deduction of operating income. Thus, the income recognition evaluation is one of the fundamental evaluation items for accountants in the execution of financial report audit for Lotes Group.
Corresponding audit procedures:
The primary audit procedure conducted by the accountants for the aforementioned key audit matters included the understanding and evaluation of the relevant control procedures and the effectiveness of the design and execution of the control procedure. Regarding the sampling testing for sales close to the balance sheet date, external certification documents were reviewed to assess the adequacy of the income recognition timings. The management’s method to estimate and list refund liabilities were also obtained to assess whether the evaluation is based on the agreed conditions with customers. The adequacy of the refund liability estimate was analyzed with the actual situation afterward.
II. Evaluation of inventory
Please refer to Note IV (8) for the accounting policy of inventory evaluation. Please refer to Note V in the consolidated financial statements for the accounting estimates and assumed uncertainties of the inventory evaluation. Please refer to Note VI (4) in the consolidated financial statements for the information on the losses from the falling price of inventory. Description of the key audit matters:
Due to the impacts of rapid changes in the market demand and the development of production technology, the existing products are at risk to become outdated inventory or non-compliant with market demand. Parts of the inventory may become obsolete or have the market prices dropped. Thus, the inventory evaluation is one of the fundamental evaluation items for the accountants in the execution of financial report audit for Lotes Group. Corresponding audit procedure:
The primary audit procedure conducted by the accountants for the aforementioned key audit matters included the understanding and evaluation of the basis and methods used by the management to assess the net realizable value of inventory. Review and audit were conducted in terms of the data used by the management as the basis and to estimate the net realizable value, and an evaluation was conducted on the estimated sales price to the latest sales record by sampling. To evaluate the adequacy of the drop in prices, the adequacy of the inventory aging report was checked, and the changes in the inventory aging of each period were analyzed.
Other Matters
~5~
Lotes Co., Ltd. has prepared its parent company only financial statements for fiscal years 2024 and 2023, and we have issued an unqualified audit report thereon for your information.
Responsibility from management level and governing unit towards the consolidated financial statements
Management level’s responsibility is to prepare the consolidated financial statements present fairly according to Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), and Interpretations approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission and issued into effect and to maintain necessary internal control related to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in order to ensure there is no major untrue expression on the financial statements due to fraud or error.
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the responsibility of management level also includes evaluating Lotes Group’s capability of continuous operation, disclosure of relevant matters and the application of continuous operation accounting model unless the management level intends to liquidate Lotes Group or suspend its business operation or there is no alternative practical and feasible solution other than liquidation or business suspension.
The governing unit (including the audit committee) at Lotes Group is responsible for supervising the process of financial reports.
Responsibility of accountants’ audit on the consolidated financial statements
The purpose of the consolidated financial statements audited by our accountants is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the significant untrue expression exists on the whole consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error as well as issue the audit report. The reasonable assurance is the high certainty; however, it will not be able to guarantee that the significant untrue expression will definitely be able to be detected by generally accepted auditing standards, and the untrue expression might be caused from fraud or error. It is regarded as with significance if the individual amount or the aggregation number of the untrue expression can reasonably predict that it will affect the economic decisions made by the users of the consolidated financial statements.
When we conduct the audit according to generally accepted auditing standards, we use professional judgment and maintain our professional suspicion. We also executed the following tasks:
-
Identifying and evaluating the risk of major untrue expression on the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error; designing and implementing proper responding strategies towards the risk evaluated; and obtaining sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis of audit opinions. Due to fraud might be involving with collusion, counterfeiting, malicious omission untrue declaration, or going out of the internal control, the risk of not detecting the major untrue expression due to fraud will be higher than that due to error.
-
Obtaining necessary understanding of internal control related to audit in order to design proper audit procedure under the situation of the case. However, its purpose is not to express opinion toward the effectiveness of the internal control in Lotes Group.
-
Evaluating the adequacy of the accounting policies used by the management level and the rationality
~6~
of the accounting evaluation and relevant disclosure concluded.
-
Based on the audit evidence obtained, conclusion towards the appropriateness of continuous operation accounting basis that the management level adopts and the existence of major uncertainty on events or situations with major concerns affecting Lotes Group’s capability in continuous operation are made. If we believe major uncertainty existed on the event or situation, we must remind the users of consolidated financial statements on the audit report to pay attention on the relevant disclosure or modify audit opinion when the disclosure is not appropriate. The conclusion that we made is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the audit report day, but future events or situations might cause Lotes Group not capable in continuous operation.
-
Evaluating the overall expression, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements (including relevant notes) as well as whether the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, relevant transaction and events.
-
We obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence about the financial information of the constituent entities of the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and execution of the Group's audits and for forming an opinion on the Group's audits.
The communication between us and the governing unit includes the audit scope and time planned and major audit findings (including the significant defects on the internal control identified during the auditing process).
We have also provided information to the governing unit that the personnel of the firm—under which our CPAs are working—who are subject to independence requirements have complied with the statement of independence in the CPA code of professional ethics and communicated to the governing unit all relationships and other matters (including relevant safeguards) that may be considered to affect the independence of CPAs.
We determined the key audit matters that we would like to execute on Lotes Group’s consolidated financial statements for fiscal year 2024 from the communication with the governing unit. We clearly stated the related matters on the audit report unless it is the specific matter that is not allowed to be disclosed to the public according to laws, or under a very rare situation that we decided not to communicate specific matters on the audit report because we can reasonably anticipate the negative influence generated by the communication will be greater than the public interests increased.

Lotes Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
2024 & 2023
(All amounts are in NT$ thousands unless otherwise stated)
I. Company History
Lotes Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) was incorporated on August 23, 1986 in accordance with the provisions of the Company Act and was approved for registration with its registered office at No.15, Wuxun Street, Anle District, Keelung City. The Company and Subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the “Consolidated Company”) are principally engaged in the sale and purchase of various hardware parts and components, the manufacturing and processing of various terminals and their connectors, the import and export business in connection with the preceding item and the agency of the preceding item in connection with the tender quotation and distribution of products of domestic and foreign manufacturers. Please refer to Note XIV for further details.
II. Date and Procedures of Approval of Financial Statement
The Consolidated Financial Statement was approved and released by the Board of Directors on March 10, 2025.
III. Application of New and Revised Standards and Interpretations
- (1) Impact of New and Revised Standards and Interpretations Endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC)
The Consolidated Company has adopted the following newly issued or amended International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS) starting from January 1, 2024, as endorsed by the FSC. These adoptions did not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
‧Amendments to IAS 1, “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current”
‧Amendments to IAS 1, “Non-current Liabilities with Covenants”
‧Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7, “Supplier Finance Arrangements”
‧Amendments to IFRS 16, “Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback”
- (2) New and Revised Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Endorsed by the FSC
The Consolidated Company has assessed that the application of the following newly amended International Financial Reporting Standards, effective from January 1, 2025, will not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:
‧Amendments to IAS 21 “Lack of Exchangeability”
~13~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(3) New and revised standards and interpretations not yet recognized by the FSC
The following new and revised standards and interpretations issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but not yet endorsed by the FSC, may be relevant to the Consolidated Company:
| Newly Issued or Revised Standard IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” |
Key Amendments The new standard introduces three categories of income and expenses, two subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, and a single note disclosure for management performance measures (MPMs). These three improvements provide enhanced and consistent guidance on disaggregation of information in financial statements, laying the foundation for better and more comparable information for users. ‧ More Structured Income Statement: Under the current standards, companies use different formats to present operating results, making it difficult for investors to compare financial performance across companies. The new standard adopts a more structured income statement format, introduces a newly defined subtotal for “operating profit,” and classifies all income and expenses derived from a company’s main business activities into three distinct categories. ‧ Management Performance Measures (MPMs): The new standard introduces a definition of MPMs and requires companies to include a single note disclosure in their financial statements explaining why each measure provides useful information, how it is calculated, and how it reconciles with amounts recognized under IFRS. ‧ Greater Disaggregation of Information: The new standard includes enhanced guidance on how companies should disaggregate information in financial statements, including guidance on whether the information should be included in the primary financial statements or further disaggregated in the notes. |
Effective Date Issued by IASB |
|---|---|---|
| January 1, 2027 |
~14~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

The Consolidated Company does not expect the following other newly issued or amended standards that have not yet been endorsed to have a significant impact on its standalone financial statements:
‧Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, “Disposal of or Contribution to Assets between an Investor and its Affiliate or Joint Venture”.
‧Amendments to IFRS 17, “Insurance Contracts” and IFRS 17
‧IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures”
‧Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Improvements to the Classification and Measurement
of Financial Instruments”

(4) Foreign currency
1. Foreign currency trading
Foreign currency is converted into functional currency according to exchange rate on the date of transaction. At the end of each subsequent reporting period (the “Reporting Date”), foreign currency monetary items are translated into functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on that date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in foreign currencies are translated into functional currencies using the exchange rates prevailing at the date of fair value measurement, while non-monetary items measured at historical cost in foreign currencies are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
The foreign currency exchange difference resulting from the conversion is recognized to be other comprehensive Income excepting for the following situations, otherwise, recognized to be gains and losses:
-
(1) Equity instruments designated as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
(2) Financial liabilities designated as a net investment hedge for a foreign operating entity
~18~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
are within the effective range of the hedge; or
-
(3) Eligible cash flow hedges are within the effective range of the hedge.
-
Foreign operating organizations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operating organizations, including the business reputation and fair value adjustment during the acquisition, are converted to be NTD according to exchange rate on the report day; gains and losses are converted into NTD according to exchange rate in the current period, and the resultant conversion difference is recognized to be other comprehensive Income.
In case of the loss of control, joint control or material influences arising from the punishment on foreign operating organizations, the accumulated conversion differences related to the foreign operating organizations shall be fully reclassified as gains and losses. Upon partial disposal of a subsidiary with foreign operations, the related accumulated exchange differences are reattributed to non-controlling interest on a pro rata basis. In case of affiliated company or joint ventures of foreign operating organizations involved in some of the punishment, related accumulated conversion differences shall be fully reclassified as gains and losses in proportion.
As to the receivable and payable monetary items of foreign operating organizations, if without the repayment plan or the possibility of repayment in foreseeable future, the resultant gains and losses from foreign currency conversion shall be regarded as a part of net investments to the foreign operating organizations as recognized as other comprehensive income.
- (5) Standards for classifying current and non-current assets and liabilities
The Consolidated Company classifies an asset as a current asset when it meets any of the following criteria; all other assets are classified as non-current assets:
-
It is expected to be realized in the entity’s normal operating cycle or is intended to be sold or consumed;
-
It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
It is expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; or
-
It is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7), unless it is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. The Consolidated Company classifies a liability as a current liability when it meets any
of the following criteria; all other liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities:
-
It is expected to be settled in the entity’s normal operating cycle;
-
It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
It is due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; or
-
The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
~19~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
- (6) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are the investments which are allowed to be converted into normed cash with few value change risks and short-term high flowability. Certificate of deposit which satisfy the foregoing definition and with the holding purpose of meeting the short-term cash pledges rather than investment or others shall be recognized as cash equivalents.
- (7) Financial instrument
Accounts receivable and the original debt securities issued are recognized when they are incurred. All other financial assets and financial liabilities were originally recognized when the Consolidated Company became a party to the terms of the financial instrument agreement. Financial assets that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss (except accounts receivable, which do not contain a significant financial component) or financial liabilities are measured at fair value plus the transaction cost directly attributable to the acquisition or issue. Accounts receivable, which do not contain significant financial components, are originally measured at transaction prices.
1. Financial assets
The purchase or sale of financial assets by a conventional trader, the Consolidated Company shall treat all purchases and sales of financial assets classified in the same manner in accordance with the transaction date or the settlement date.
At the time of the original recognition, financial assets were classified as: financial assets measured at amortized cost, debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, equity instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, or financial assets measured at fair value through gains and losses.
The Consolidated Company will only change its business model for managing financial assets from the first day of the next reporting period to classify all affected financial assets.
- (1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
Financial assets are measured at post-amortized cost when they simultaneously meet the following conditions and are not specified to be measured at fair value through profit or loss:
-
The financial asset is held under a business model for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flow.
-
The cash flow generated by the terms of the contract on the financial asset at the specified date is solely for the payment of the principal and the interest on the outstanding principal amount.
The cumulative amortization of such assets is subsequently calculated by the
~20~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
effective interest method plus or minus the original amount recognized, and the amortized cost of any loss allowance is adjusted. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment losses are recognized as gains and losses. When derecognized, the profit or loss shall be included in the profit or loss.
(2)Financial assets measured at FVTOCI
When the debt instrument investment simultaneously meets the following conditions and is not specified to be measured at fair value through profit and loss, it is measured at fair value through other consolidated profit and loss:
-
The financial asset is held under a business model for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flow and selling.
-
The cash flow generated by the terms of the contract on the financial asset at the specified date is solely for the payment of the principal and the interest on the outstanding principal amount.
The Consolidated Company may, at the time of its original recognition, irrevocably choose to report the subsequent changes in the fair value of its non-tradable equity instrument investments to other consolidated profits and losses. The foregoing selection is made on an item-by-item tool basis.
Debt instrument investors are measured by fair value afterwards. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses and impairment losses calculated by the effective interest method are recognized as gains and losses, while the remaining net gains or losses are recognized as other comprehensive income. When discounting, the accumulated amount of other comprehensive income shall be reclassified into comprehensive income.
Equity instrument investors are measured by fair value afterwards. Dividend income (unless it clearly represents the recovery of a portion of the investment cost) is recognized as a profit or loss. The remaining net benefits or losses are recognized as other comprehensive income and are not reclassified into gains and losses.
Dividend income from equity investments is recognized on the date (usually ex-dividend date) when the Consolidated Company becomes entitled to receive dividends.
(3) Financial assets measured at FVTPL
Financial assets not measured at amortized cost or through other comprehensive income at fair value (e.g., financial assets held for trading and managed on a fair value basis for performance evaluation) are measured at fair value through profit or loss, including derivative financial assets. The Consolidated Company may, at the time of its original recognition, irrevocably designate financial assets that meet the criteria of measuring at fair value according to the amortized cost or through other comprehensive
~21~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
income as financial assets measured at fair value through gains and losses in order to eliminate or substantially reduce improper accounting matching.
Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value and their net gains or losses (including any dividends and interest income) are recognized as gains or losses.
- (4) Business model evaluation
The purpose of the Consolidated Company is to assess the business model of holding financial assets at a portfolio level, which best reflects the way of operation and management and the way of providing information to management. The following information is considered:
-
The portfolio policies and objectives described and the operation of such policies. Including whether the management’s strategy is to focus on earning contractual cash flow, maintaining a certain portfolio of interest rates, matching the duration of financial assets with the duration of the relevant liabilities or anticipated cash outflows, or achieving cash flow through the sale of financial assets.
-
Performance of the business model and how the financial assets held under the business model are evaluated and reported to the principal managers of the business.
-
Risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held under the business model) and the manner in which such risks are managed.
-
The frequency, amount and timeliness of previous sales of financial assets, the reasons for such sales and the expectation of future sales.
-
The transfer of a financial asset to a third party for the above business purposes
-
that does not meet the exclusion criteria is not a sale as described above, consistent with the purpose for which the merged Consolidated Company continues to recognize the asset.
-
(5) Evaluate whether the cash flow of the contract is fully the interest on the payment of the principal and the amount of outstanding principal
For evaluation purposes, the principal is the fair value of the financial asset at the time of its original recognition, and the interest is made up of the following considerations: the time value of money, the credit risk associated with the amount of outstanding principal in circulation during a particular period, and other basic lending risks and costs and profit margins.
To evaluate whether the contract cash flow is fully interest on the principal and the outstanding principal amount, the Consolidated Company considers the terms of the financial instrument contract, including whether the financial asset contains a contract term that can change the point or amount of the cash flow of the contract, causing it to fail to meet this condition. In the evaluation, the Consolidated Company considers:
~22~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
-
Any contingencies that change the timeliness or amount of the cash flow of the contract;
-
The terms of the coupon rate may be adjusted, including the nature of the variable rate;
-
The nature of prepayment and extension; and
-
Claims of the Consolidated Company are limited to cash flow terms derived from specific assets (e.g. non-recourse nature).
-
(6) Impairment of financial assets
For the financial assets measured at the amortized cost after (including cash and about when cash, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, refundable deposit, and other financial assets, etc.), through the other comprehensive income measured at fair value, the debt instruments of investment assets and contract of expected loss, the Consolidated Company recognizes the allowance for credit losses.
The following financial assets are measured against losses according to the expected credit loss amount of 12 months, and the rest are measured according to the expected credit loss amount of the existing period:
-
Determine that the credit risk of the debt securities at the reporting date is low; and
-
The credit risk of other debt securities and bank deposits (i.e. the risk of default during the expected life of financial instruments) has not increased significantly since the original recognition.
The loss allowance for accounts receivable and contract assets is measured in terms of the expected credit loss during the period of existence.
In determining whether credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition, the Consolidated Company considers reasonable and verifiable information (available at no excessive cost or investment), including qualitative and quantitative information, as well as analysis based on the Consolidated Company’s historical experiences, credit assessment and forward-looking information.
The Consolidated Company shall be deemed to be in default of the financial asset if the debtor of the contract payment is unlikely to meet his credit obligations to make the full payment to the Consolidated Company.
Expected credit loss during the life of a financial instrument refers to the expected credit loss arising from all possible defaults during the life of the financial instrument.
Twelve-month expected credit loss refers to the expected credit loss arising from the possible default of the financial instrument within twelve months after the date of the report (or a shorter period, if the expected duration of the financial instrument is shorter than twelve months).
The longest contract period during which the expected credit loss is measured is
~23~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
the longest contract period during which the Consolidated Company is exposed to credit risk.
The expected credit loss is the probabilistic weighted estimate of the credit loss during the expected life of the financial instrument. Credit losses are measured in terms of the present value of all cash shortfalls, the difference between the cash flows that the Consolidated Company can collect under the contract and the cash flows that the Consolidated Company expects to collect. The expected credit loss is discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
On each reporting date, the Consolidated Company evaluates whether there is a credit impairment in the debt securities on which financial assets are measured at after-amortized cost and on which fair value is measured through other comprehensive income. When one or more events have occurred that adversely affect the estimated future cash flow of a financial asset, the financial asset has suffered a credit impairment. Evidence of credit impairment of financial assets includes observable information relating to:
-
Major financial difficulties of the borrower or issuer;
-
Default, such as delay or delay beyond a specified period;
-
For economic or contractual reasons related to the borrower’s financial difficulties, the merged Consolidated Company gives the borrower concessions that the borrower would not have considered;
-
The borrower is likely to file for bankruptcy or other financial restructuring; or
-
The active market for the financial asset disappears due to financial difficulties.
The loss allowance for a financial asset measured at its amortized cost is deducted from the carrying amount of the asset. The allowance for losses on debt instrument investments is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. It is adjusted and recognized as other comprehensive income (without reducing the carrying amount of the assets).
When the Consolidated Company cannot reasonably expect to recover the financial assets as a whole or in part, it will directly reduce the total book amount of its financial assets. For the Company, the Consolidated Company shall analyze the date and amount of the write-off on the basis of whether it is reasonable to expect recovery. The Consolidated Company does not expect a significant reversal of the write-off. However, financial assets that have been written off may still be enforced to comply with the procedures of the Consolidated Company for recovering overdue amounts. (7) Financial assets derecognition
When the Consolidated Company terminates the contractual rights from the cash flow of such assets or has transferred the financial assets and almost all risks and returns
~24~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
of the asset ownership have been transferred to other enterprises, the financial assets shall be derecognized.
Transactions in which the Consolidated Company enters into transfers of financial assets that retain all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred assets continue to be recognized on the balance sheet.
-
Financial liabilities and equity instruments
-
(1) Classification of liabilities or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Consolidated Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity based on the substance of the contractual agreements and the definitions of financial liabilities and equity instruments.
- (2) Equity transactions
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of the Consolidated Company after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Consolidated Company are recognized at the amount of the consideration received less direct issue costs.
- (3) Compound financial instruments
The number of shares issued does not vary with the change in fair value of the compound financial instruments, which are convertible bonds (denominated in New Taiwan dollars) that the holders have the option to convert to equity.
The original recognition amount of the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at the fair value of a similar liability excluding the equity conversion rights. The original recognition amount of the equity component is measured as the difference between the fair value of the compound financial instrument as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to the carrying amounts of the original liability and equity.
After initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component of a compound financial instrument is not remeasured after initial recognition.
Interest related to financial liabilities is recognized as profit or loss. Financial liabilities are reclassified to equity upon conversion, and no gain or loss is recognized upon conversion.
(4) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as amortized costs or measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities which are held for trading, derivatives or specified at the time of their original recognition are classified as being measured at fair
~25~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities, measured at fair value through profit and loss, are measured at fair value, and the associated net benefits and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized as profit and loss.
The effective subsequent interest method for other financial liabilities is measured at the amortized cost. Interest expenses and exchange gains and losses are recognized as gains and losses. Any benefit or loss at the time of discounting is also considered as profit or loss.
- (5) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Consolidated Company derecognizes financial liabilities when contractual obligations have been fulfilled, cancelled or matured. When the terms of a financial liability are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability differ materially, the original financial liability is derecognized and a new financial liability is recognized at fair value based on the modified terms.
When derecognizing financial liabilities, the difference between carrying amount and the sum of paid or payable considerations (including any transferred non-cash capital or assumed liabilities) shall be recognized as gains and losses.
- (6) Offset between financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities can be offset with each other and represented on the balance sheet with net value only when the Consolidated Company has legal rights to offset and has the intention to deliver with net value as well as realize capital and liquidate the liabilities.
3. Derivative financial instruments
The Consolidated Company holds derivative financial instruments to avoid foreign currency and interest rate risks. Embedded derivatives are separated from the main contract when specific conditions are met and the main contract is not a financial asset.
Derivative instruments are initially recognized at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value, and the resulting gain or loss is recognized directly in profit or loss.
(8) Inventory
Inventory shall be measured with the lower of the costs and net realizable value. The costs include the acquisition, production and processing costs enabling them to arrive at the available places and status and other costs, which are calculated according to the standard cost method, and priced at cost transferring according to weighted mean method. The costs of the inventory of finished products and products in process include the manufacturing costs amortized based on normal production capacity according to proper percentage.
Net realizable value refers to the estimated prices under normal operation deducting estimated costs to be needed for estimated completion and estimated costs to be needed for completing selling.
~26~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(9) Investments in Associates
Associates are entities over which the Consolidated Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over financial and operating policies.
The Consolidated Company accounts for its interests in associates using the equity method. Under the equity method, the investment is initially recognized at cost, including the cost of the transaction. The carrying amount of the investment in associates includes goodwill identified at the time of the initial investment, less any accumulated impairment losses.
The consolidated financial reports include the Consolidated Company's share of the profits or losses and other comprehensive income of the associates, from the date of significant influence until the date when significant influence is lost, after adjustments consistent with the Consolidated Company’s accounting policies. When an associate undergoes an equity transaction affecting comprehensive income and other comprehensive income that does not affect the Consolidated Company’s ownership percentage, the Consolidated Company recognizes any changes in equity proportionately as capital reserves.
Unrealized gains and losses arising from transactions between the Consolidated Company and its associates are recognized in the financial statements only to the extent unrelated to the investor's interest in the associates. When the Consolidated Company’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, recognition of further losses is stopped unless there is a legal or constructive obligation or payments have been made on behalf of the investee.
(10) Investment property
Investment real estate means real property held for the purpose of earning rent or asset appreciation, or both, rather than for the purpose of production, provision of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Investment real estate is originally measured by cost, and later measured by cost minus accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. The depreciation method, durable life and residual value shall be treated in accordance with the provisions of real estate, plant and equipment.
The disposal interest or loss of the investment real estate (calculated at the difference between the net disposal price and the account amount of the project) shall be recognized as the profit or loss.
The rental income of investment real estate is recognized as other income in the straight-line method during the lease term. The incentive to lease is recognized as part of the rental income during the lease term.
(11) Property, plant and equipment
1. Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, including capitalized
~27~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment.
Significant components of property, plant and equipment are treated as separate items
(major components) when they have different life cycles.
Gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or
loss.
- Subsequent costs
Subsequent expenses are capitalized only when it is probable that future economic benefits will flow into the Consolidated Company.
- Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated based on the cost of the asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of each component.
The land is not subject to depreciation.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
-
(1) Buildings 20-40 years
-
(2) Machinery 2-10 years
-
(3) Other equipment 2-15 years
The Consolidated Company reviews the method of depreciation, durability and residual value at each reporting date and makes appropriate adjustment as necessary.
- Reclassification to investment real estate
When real property for own use is reclassified to investment property, the real property is reclassified to investment property based on its carrying amount at the time of change of use.
(12) Leasing
The Consolidated Company shall assess whether the contract is a lease or includes a lease on the date of formation of the contract. If the contract transfers control over the use of the identified assets for a period of time in exchange for consideration, the contract shall be a lease or includes a lease.
1. The lessee
The Consolidated Company recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the beginning date of the lease. Right-of-use assets are originally measured in terms of cost, which includes the original measured amount of lease liabilities, adjusts the lease beginning date or before payment of any rent payment, and the initial direct costs, and applied to removing the asset and restoring its location or the estimated cost of the underlying assets. It minuses the charge of any lease incentives at the same time.
Depreciation of right-of-use assets following the commencement of the lease shall be carried out by the straight-line method at the end of the useful life of right-of-use assets or
~28~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
earlier at the end of the lease term. In addition, the Consolidated Company will periodically evaluate whether there is any loss of right-of-use assets and deal with any loss that has occurred, and adjust the right-of-use assets in the case of lease liabilities.
Lease liabilities are defined as the present value of lease benefits not yet paid at lease commencement date. If the implied lease rate is easy to determine, the discount rate will be that rate, and if not, the incremental borrowing rate of the Consolidated Company will be used. Generally speaking, the Consolidated Company adopts its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease benefits measured in lease liabilities include:
-
(1) fixed payments, including substantive fixed payments;
-
(2) depending on the variation of a certain index or rate of rent payment, the index or rate on the commencement date of the lease shall be used as the original measurement;
-
(3) the guaranteed amount of salvage value expected to be paid; and
-
(4) the price at which the option to exercise the option to purchase or terminate the lease will be reasonably determined or the penalty to be paid.
Lease liabilities is then calculated using effective interest method, and the amount was measured when:
-
(1) changes in the index or rate used to determine lease payments result in changes in future lease payments;
-
(2) the guaranteed amount of the residual value expected to be paid has changed;
-
(3) the evaluation of the underlying asset purchase option has changed;
-
(4) the estimate of whether to exercise the option of extension or termination has changed, which leads to the change of the assessment of the lease period;
-
(5) modification of the subject matter, scope or other terms of the lease.
Lease liabilities are remeasured due to the aforementioned changes in the index or rate used to determine lease payments, changes in the residual value guarantee amount, and changes in the evaluation of purchases, extensions or termination options, the book value of right-of-use assets should be adjusted accordingly. When the book value of right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, the remaining re-measured amount is recognized in profit or loss.
For the tease modifications about the reduced coverage, the book amount of right-of-use assets will be reduced to reflect partial or total termination of Lease, and the difference between Lease assets and Lease assets will be included in the profit and loss.
The Consolidated Company will express the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities that do not conform to the definition of investment real estate in the form of single line items in the balance sheet.
~29~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
In relation to short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Consolidated Company has chosen not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities, but rather to recognize lease payments on a straight-line basis as an expense during the lease term.
2. The lessor
The transaction in which the Consolidated Company is a lessor shall be classified as a financial lease or an operating lease on the date of establishment of the lease, depending on whether or not the lease contract is transferred to almost all the risks and rewards attached to the ownership of the underlying asset. In the evaluation, the Consolidated Company shall consider certain indicators, including whether the lease term covers the principal part of the underlying asset’s economic life.
If the Consolidated Company is a sublease lessor, it will handle the master lease and the sublease transaction respectively and evaluate the sublease transaction classification based on the right-of-use assets generated from the master lease. If the principal lease is a short-term lease and a recognition waiver is applicable, the sublease transaction shall be classified as an operating lease.
(13) Intangible assets
1. Recognition and measurement
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated impairment.
Computer software acquired by the Consolidated Company is measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment.
2. Subsequent expenditure
The subsequent expenditure can be capitalized only when they can increase the future economic benefits of relevant specific assets, and all of other expenditures are recognized as gains and losses when they occur, including the expenses for developing reputation and brand establishing.
3. Amortization
Except for goodwill, amortization is calculated based on the cost of the asset less its estimated residual value and is recognized in profit or loss using the straight-line method over the estimated useful lives of the Intangible assets, from one to five years from the time the assets reach a ready-for-use condition.
The Consolidated Company reviews the amortization method, useful life and residual value of Intangible assets at each reporting date and makes appropriate adjustments as necessary.
(14) Non-financial asset impairment
At each reporting date, the Consolidated Company assesses whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of non-financial assets (other than inventories, deferred
~30~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
income tax assets) may be impaired. If any indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. Goodwill is tested for impairment on a regular basis each year.
For the purpose of impairment testing, cash inflows that are largely independent of other individual assets or groups of assets are treated as the smallest identifiable group of assets.
The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to dispose of the individual asset or cash-generating unit or its value in use. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss and is reduced first by the carrying amount of goodwill amortized on the cash-generating unit and then by the carrying amount of each other asset in the unit in proportion to its carrying amount.
Goodwill impairment losses are not reversed. Non-financial assets other than goodwill are reversed only to the extent that they do not exceed the carrying amount (net of depreciation or amortization) that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.
(15) Provision for liabilities
Provisions are recognized as present obligations due to past events that make it probable that the Consolidated Company will need to expend economically efficient resources in the future to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are discounted at a pre-tax rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The amortization of the discount is recognized as interest expense.
The amount recognized in Provisions takes into account the risks and uncertainties of the obligation and is the best estimate of the payments required to settle the obligation at the end of the reporting period. If Provisions is measured at the estimated cash flows to settle this realistic obligation, the carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows. Restoration of Leased Premises:
A provision is recognized for the estimated dismantling, removal, and restoration obligations associated with leased assets acquired by the Consolidated Company, and the related expenses are recognized over the lease term.
(16) Income recognition
Revenue from customer contracts
Income is measured in consideration for the expected entitlement to transfer goods or services. The Consolidated Company recognizes revenue from the transfer of control of goods or services to the customer in order to meet its performance obligations.
The Consolidated Company manufactures electronic components and sells them to manufacturers in the electronics industry. The Consolidated Company recognizes revenue at the time of the transfer of control over the products. Control transfer of the product means
~31~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
that the product has been delivered to the customer and the customer can fully determine the sales channel and price of the product, and there is no failure to fulfill obligations that would affect the customer’s acceptance of the product. Delivery occurs when the product is shipped to a specific location, the risk of obsolescence and loss has been transferred to the customer, the customer has accepted the product in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance terms have expired, or the Consolidated Company has objective evidence that all acceptance conditions have been met.
The Consolidated Company recognizes revenue on the basis of the net amount of the estimated discount deducted from the contract price, the amount of which is estimated based on past experiences, and only to the extent that there is a high probability that no significant turnaround will occur. As of the date of the report, the sales will expect to pay the customer for the discount, which is refunded as refund liabilities. The average credit period of sales is one hundred twenty days to one hundred fifty days, which is consistent with the practice of the same trade, so no financing elements are included.
The Consolidated Company shall recognize accounts receivable at the time of delivery of the goods, as the Consolidated Company shall have the right to receive unconditional consideration at that time.
The time between the transfer of goods or services from all customer contracts to the customer and the time between the customer’s payments for the goods or services is expected to be no more than one year, so the Consolidated Company does not adjust the time currency value of the transaction price.
- (17) Employee benefits
1. Defined contribution plan
The obligation for contributions under the defined contribution plan is recognized as an expense during the period in which the employees provide services.
2. Defined benefit plan
The Consolidated Company’s net obligation to a defined benefit plan is measured by discounting the present value of future benefits earned by the employee’s current or prior period of service, less the fair value of the plan assets.
The defined benefit obligation is actuated annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit benefit method. When the results of the calculation are probable to be favorable to the Consolidated Company, an asset is recognized to the extent of the present value of any economic benefits that may be obtained by returning a contribution from the plan or reducing future contributions to the plan. Any minimum funding requirement is taken into account in calculating the present value of economic benefits.
The remeasurement of the net defined benefit obligation, including actuarial gains and losses, compensation for plan assets (excluding interest), and any change in the impact of asset limits (excluding interest) is recognized immediately in other comprehensive
~32~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
income and accumulated in retained earnings. The Consolidated Company determines net interest expense (income) for net defined benefit liabilities (assets) using the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) and discount rate determined at the beginning of the annual reporting period. Net interest expense and other costs for defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.
When a plan is revised or curtailed, changes in benefits related to prior period service costs or curtailment gains or losses are recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Consolidated Company recognizes gain or loss on the settlement of defined benefit plans when settlement occurs.
3. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefit obligations are recognized as an expense when services are provided. If the Consolidated Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay for services rendered by employees in the past and the obligation can be estimated reliably, the amount is recognized as a liability.
- (18) Share-based payment transactions
Equity-settled share-based payment agreements recognize an expense and increase relative equity over the vesting period of the award at the grant date fair value. The expense recognized is adjusted for the number of awards that are expected to qualify for the service condition and the non-market vesting condition, and the final amount recognized is measured based on the number of awards that qualify for the service condition and the non-market vesting condition on the vesting date.
The non-vested conditions regarding share-based payment awards are reflected in the measurement of the fair value of the share-based payment awards at the date of grant and no adjustment is required to be made to verify the difference between the expected and actual results.
The fair value amount of the share appreciation rights payable to employees for cash settlement is recognized as an expense and an increase in the relative liability in the period in which the employees reach the point where they can receive unconditional compensation. The liability is remeasured at the fair value of the share appreciation rights at each reporting date and settlement date, and any change is recognized in profit or loss.
(19) Income tax
Income taxes include current and deferred income tax asset. Except those related to enterprise consolidation and items directly recognized as equities or other comprehensive income, Current tax and deferred income tax asset shall be recognized as gains and losses.
The Consolidated Company has determined that the top-up tax under Pillar Two of the global minimum tax regime falls within the scope of IAS 12 "Income Taxes." A temporary mandatory exception to deferred tax accounting has been applied for top-up tax, and any
~33~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
actual top-up tax incurred is recognized as current income tax expense.
Current taxes include expected payable income taxes or receivable tax rebates of the annual taxation (losses) calculated according to the legal tax rate or substantial legal tax rate on the report day, and any unappropriated retained earnings plus 10% income tax recognized as tax expense in the shareholders meeting resolution year calculated according to the adjustments to the payable income taxes in the previous year and the provisions of income tax laws.
Deferred income tax is recognized for temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and their tax bases. Deferred income tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences:
-
Temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in transactions that are not business combinations and, at the time of the transaction, (i) do not affect either accounting profit or taxable income (loss) and (ii) do not result in taxable and deductible temporary differences in equal amounts.
-
Those generated due to investment subsidiary company and joint equities and likely to not to be returned in the foreseeable future.
-
Original recognition of business reputation
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses and unused income tax credits in subsequent periods to the extent that it is probable that future taxable income will be available against which the temporary differences can be deducted. Deferred income tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and reduced to the extent that it is not probable that the related income tax benefit will be realized, or to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be available to allow the reversal of the original reduction.
Deferred income tax assets are measured according to the tax rate in the current period when the expected capital is realized or liabilities are liquidated and based on the legal tax rate or substantial legal tax rate on the report day.
Only when the Consolidated Company shall meet the following conditions at the same time, can the deferred income tax assets and deferred tax liabilities offset with each other:
-
Having the legal execution right to make the current income tax assets and the current tax liabilities offset with each other: and
-
Deferred income tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are related to one of the subjects of tax payment from which the same tax authority levies income tax;
-
(1) Same subject of tax payment; or
-
(2) Different subjects of tax payment, but all subjects intend to liquidate the current tax liabilities and assets based on net amount or at the same time realize assets and liquidate liabilities in each of the future periods when deferred income tax assets of major amounts are expected to be recovered and deferred tax liabilities expected to be liquidated.
~34~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(20) Business combination
Goodwill is measured at the fair value of the consideration transferred at the date of acquisition, including the amount of any non-controlling interest attributable to the acquiree, less the net amount of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (usually the fair value). If the resulting balance is negative, the Consolidated Company reassesses whether all assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been correctly identified before recognizing gain recognized in bargain purchase transaction in profit or loss.
Transaction costs associated with a business combination, except for those related to the issuance of debt or equity instruments, are recognized as expenses of the Consolidated Company immediately upon incurrence.
Non-controlling interest of the acquiree, which is a present ownership interest and the holder of which is entitled to a proportionate share of the net assets of the enterprise at the time of liquidation, is measured at fair value at the acquisition date or at the present ownership instrument's proportionate share of the recognized amount of the acquiree's identifiable net assets, at the option of the Consolidated Company, on a transaction by transaction basis. Other non-controlling interests are measured at their fair values on the acquisition date or on other bases as prescribed by IFRSs recognized by the FSC.
(21) Earnings per share
The Consolidated Company lists the basic and diluted earnings per share of holders of common stock equity of the Company. The basic earnings per share of the Consolidated Company shall be calculated with the gains and losses of the holders of common stock equity of the Company divided by the weighted mean of current outstanding common shares. Diluted earnings per share shall be calculated after adjusting the influence of all potential diluted common shares of the gains and losses of the holders of common stock equity of the Company and the weighted mean of current outstanding common shares. The potential diluted common shares of the Consolidated Company include convertible corporate bonds and stock options for employees.
(22) Segmental Information
An operating segment is a component of the Consolidated Company that engages in operating activities that may earn revenues and incur expenses, including revenues and expenses related to transactions with other components of the Consolidated Company. The operating results of all operating segments are reviewed regularly by the Consolidated Company's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about the allocation of resources to the segment and to evaluate its performance. Separate financial information is available for each operating segment.
V. Primary Sources of Major Accounting Judgment, Estimate and Assumption Uncertainties
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, management must make judgments
~35~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
and estimates regarding the future (including climate-related risks and opportunities), which affect the application of accounting policies and the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Management continuously reviews estimates and underlying assumptions, which are consistent with the Consolidated Company’s risk management practices and climate-related commitments. Changes in estimates are recognized prospectively in the period of the change and in any affected future periods.
The following assumptions and estimates are subject to significant risks of material adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year, and the related information is as follows:
Inventory Evaluation
Since inventory must be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Consolidated Company estimates the reported amount of inventory due to normal wear and tear, obsolescence, or no market sale value daily and reduces the cost of inventory to net realizable value. The net realizable value of inventories may change significantly due to rapid changes in the industry and the introduction of new products. Please refer to Note VI (4) for the inventory assessment.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
The significant actuarial assumptions used to determine the present value of the Company's defined benefit obligation at the end of the financial reporting period are as follows:
| follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate Future salary increases |
Dec. 31, 2024 1.65% 2.00% |

| 1.20% 2.00% |
The Company anticipates making contributions to defined benefit plans amounting to NT$1,258 thousand and NT$1,185 thousand within one year following the reporting dates of 2024 and 2023, respectively.
The weighted-average duration of the defined benefit plan for 2024 is 8 years.
(7) Sensitivity analysis
The effect of changes in key actuarial assumptions on the present value of the defined benefit obligation as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:
| December 31, 2024 Discount rate Future salary increases December 31, 2023 Discount rate Future salary increases |
Effect on the defined benefit obligation Increase of 0.25% Decrease of 0.25% $ (1,692) 1,748 1,738 (1,691) (1,835) 1,899 1,879 (1,825) |
|---|---|
| Increase of 0.25% $ (1,692) 1,738 (1,835) 1,879 |
The sensitivity analysis above analyzes the effect of changes in a single assumption with other assumptions held constant. In practice, changes in many assumptions may be linked. The sensitivity analysis is consistent with the methodology used to calculate the net pension liability on the balance sheet.
The methodology and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis are the same as those used in the previous period.

The items not recognized as deferred tax assets of the Consolidated Company are as follows:
| Inventory devaluation losses Tax losses Right-of-use assets |

Domestic subsidiaries, according to the Income Tax Act and approved by the tax authorities, can deduct losses from the previous ten years from the current year's net income for tax assessment purposes. As of December 31, 2024, for taxable losses not yet recognized as deferred tax assets by the Consolidated Company, the deduction periods are as follows:

However, due to the new tax law announced in Hong Kong where another subsidiary of the Consolidated Company operates, which had not yet come into effect as of December 31, 2024, there was no impact on current income tax.

Realized capital reserves referred to in the preceding paragraph include premiums from the issuance of shares in excess of par value and proceeds from gifts received. In accordance with the Regulations Governing the Issuer’s Offerings and Issuance of Marketable Securities, the aggregate amount of capital reserves that may be capitalized each year shall not exceed 10% of the paid-in capital.
2. Retained earnings
In accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation, after the final settlement of each year’s earnings, the Company shall first complete tax contributions, make up for prior years’ deficits, and set aside 10% as a legal reserve, except when the legal reserve has reached the total capital level. Subsequently, according to the laws, the special reserve may be set aside or reversed; if there are any profits remaining, along with accumulated undistributed profits, the board of directors will prepare a profit distribution proposal for resolution at the shareholder's meeting. The distribution of shareholder dividends must not be less than 20% of the net amount of the year's after-tax profits after legally mandated profit reserves have been deducted.
The Company will take into account the environment and growth of the Company and the distribution of earnings should take into account the Company’s future capital expenditure budget and capital requirements, and pay cash dividends of not less than 10% of the dividends distributed in the current year.

If the Company has no deficit, it may, by resolution of the shareholders in general meeting, issue new shares or cash out of the legal reserve to the extent that such reserve exceeds 25% of the paid-in capital.
- (2) Special reserve
When the Company distributes the distributable profit, the net decrease in other equity items occurring in the year is added to the undistributed profit of the current period along with other items beyond the net profit after tax. A special reserve is set aside from the undistributed profit of the previous period. For accumulated decrease in other equity items of previous periods, an equal amount of special reserve shall be set aside from the undistributed profit of previous periods and cannot be distributed. When there is a reversal of other decreases in equity, profits can be distributed for the reversed part.

(26) Compensation to employees and directors
In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, no less than 3% of the Company’s annual profits shall be appropriated to the Compensation of Employees and no more than 2% to the Compensation of Directors; however, if the Company has accumulated losses, it shall retain the amount of compensation in advance and appropriate the Compensation of Employees and Directors in proportion to the aforementioned. The former Compensation of employees to whom stock or cash is issued may include employees of a subordinate company who meet certain criteria.
In 2024 and 2023, the Company estimated employee compensation at NT$220,000 thousand and NT$202,700 thousand, respectively, and director compensation at NT$4,480 thousand for both years. The estimates were calculated based on the Company’s pre-tax net income before deducting employee and director compensation, multiplied by the allocation percentages stipulated in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. These amounts were reported as operating costs or operating expenses and were fully paid in cash. If the actual distributed amounts in the following year differ from the estimates, the difference is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate and recognized in the profit or loss of the following year.
The amount of employee compensation approved by the Board of Directors for 2024 was consistent with the estimate disclosed in the 2024 consolidated financial statements. The amount of director compensation approved by the Board of Directors for 2024 differed by NT$1,020 thousand from the estimate, and the Company accounted for the difference as a change in estimate and recognized it in the 2025 profit or loss. The actual distribution of employee and director compensation for 2023 was consistent with the estimates disclosed in the 2023 consolidated financial statements. Relevant information can be found on the Market Observation Post System (MOPS).

Note: The foreign currencies denominated in the non-functional currencies of the
consolidated entities include items that have been eliminated in the consolidated financial statements for inter-group transactions.
Due to the variety of functional currencies of the Consolidated Company, information on exchange gains and losses on monetary items is presented on a consolidated basis. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses (including realized and unrealized) amounted to a gain of $910,021 thousand and $20,150 thousand in fiscal 2024 and 2023, respectively.
(2) Sensitivity analysis
The Consolidated Company's exchange rate risk arises mainly from cash and cash equivalents denominated in foreign currencies, financial assets at FVTPL, accounts receivable and other receivables, short-term loans, accounts payable and other payables, which generate foreign currency exchange gains or losses upon translation. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, when NTD depreciates or appreciates by 1% against the foreign currencies held by the Consolidated Company, with all other factors held

constant, net income after tax would increase or decrease by $171,795 thousand and $92,191 thousand for year 2024 and 2023, respectively. The same basis was used for the analysis of both periods.
- Market risk—changes in interest rates
The interest rate risk of the Consolidated Company mainly comes from the bank deposit and loan of floating rate, so the interest rate change will cause the effective interest rate of bank deposit and loan to change accordingly, and the future cash flow will fluctuate.
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the risk of interest rate shocks reported by financial instruments on the date of coverage. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis is based on the assumption that the reported amount of daily outstanding liabilities is current throughout the year. The rate of change used by the Consolidated Company in reporting interest rates to the main management is 1% up or down, which represents the management’s assessment of the reasonable range of possible interest rate changes.
The Consolidated Company’ financial assets with variable interest rates as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 were NT$7,238,819 thousand and NT$4,086,086 thousand, respectively, and its financial liabilities were NT$35,000 thousand and NT$0 thousand, respectively. If interest rates had increased or decreased by 1%, the Consolidated Company’ net income after tax would have increased or decreased by NT$57,631 thousand and NT$32,689 thousand for year 2024 and 2023, respectively, with all other variables held constant.
-
Market risk—fair value
-
(1) Fair value and carrying amount
The management of the Consolidated Company believes that non-derivative short-term financial instruments should be estimated at their fair value based on their book value on the balance sheet, and that their book value should be a reasonable basis for the estimated fair value because of the near expiry date of such commodities. This method is applied to cash and equivalent cash, notes receivable and payable, accounts receivable and payable, other receivables and payables, deposit margin and borrowings.
In addition to the above financial instruments, the fair value and book value information of the remaining financial instruments, investment properties and corporate bonds payable of the Consolidated Company on the financial reporting date are as follows:

-
(2) The evaluation techniques used to determine fair value are as follows
-
A. When financial assets are quoted publicly in an active market, this market price is the fair value. When market prices are not available, estimates are made by reference to quoted counterparties or using valuation techniques. The estimates and assumptions used are consistent with the information used by market participants as estimates and assumptions in pricing financial instruments.
-
B. The fair value of investment properties is based on the evaluations of independent evaluators with recognized professional qualifications and recent experience in the area and type of investment properties evaluated.
-
(3) Fair value hierarchy
-
The following table analyzes the fair value hierarchy of financial instruments, investment properties and corporate bonds payable by valuation. Each fair value hierarchy is defined as follows:
-
A. Level 1: Publicly quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for identical assets or liabilities.
-
B. Level 2: Input parameters for an asset or liability are observable either directly (i.e., prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices), except for publicly quoted prices included in Level 1.
-
C. Level 3: Inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable parameters).

(6) Quantitative information on fair value measurements of significant unobservable inputs (Level 3)
The Company’s fair value measurements classified as Level 3 mainly include financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss—derivative financial instruments, private equity fund investments, overseas bonds, and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income—equity investments. For Level 3 financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss—overseas bonds—the Company refers to counterparty quotations due to the absence of active market prices. However, since it is not practicable to reliably determine the relationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value, quantitative information is not disclosed. The quantitative information for significant unobservable inputs used in the fair value measurements of other Level 3 instruments is summarized as follows:
Relationship between significant Valuation Significant unobservable unobservable inputs Item techniques inputs and fair value Financial assets Binary tree ‧Volatility as of December ‧The higher the measured at FVTPL method for pricing 31, 2024, and December volatility, the higher the fair value - Embedded convertible bond 31, 2023, were 43.22% derivatives - right of and 36.41%~41.78%, redemption respectively

Relationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value |
|---|---|---|---|
| ‧The higher the multiplier, the higher the fair value ‧The higher the discount for lack of marketability, the lower the fair value ‧The fair value is positively correlated |
(7) Valuation process for fair value classified in Level 3
The Consolidated Company uses unobservable inputs for its fair value measurements and classifies its fair value in Level 3. The source of the input value for this level is the price provided by reference to counterparty quotations or market comparable companies’ net market value multipliers, etc., and the relevant quotations and valuation information are appropriately maintained. The results are subsequently reviewed to ensure consistency with the valuation sources and the reasonableness of the valuation results.
(8) Sensitivity analysis of fair value to reasonably possible alternative assumptions for Level 3 fair value measurements
The Company’s fair value measurements of financial instruments are reasonable, but the use of different valuation models or valuation parameters may result in different valuation results. For financial instruments classified in Level 3, if the valuation parameters are changed, the impact on the profit or loss or other comprehensive income for the period is as follows:
| December 31, 2024 Financial assets measured at FVTPL Embedded derivatives - right of redemption Financial assets measured at FVTOCI |
Input value | Upward or downward changes |

Favorable and unfavorable changes in fair value represent fluctuations in fair value, which are calculated using valuation techniques based on various degrees of unobservable input parameters. If the fair value of a financial instrument is affected by more than one input, the above table reflects only the effect of changes in a single input and does not take into account the correlation and variability among the inputs.
(28) Financial risk management
-
The Consolidated Company is exposed to the following risks from the engagement of financial instruments:
-
(1) Credit risk
-
(2) Liquidity risk
-
(3) Market risk
This note presents the Consolidated Company’s risk information for each of these risks and the Consolidated Company’s objectives, policies and procedures for measuring and managing risk. For further quantitative disclosures, please refer to the respective notes to the consolidated financial statements.
2. Risk management structure
The Chairman has the sole responsibility for establishing and overseeing the Consolidated Company’s risk management structure and reports regularly to the Board on its operations.
The Consolidated Company’s risk management policy is designed to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Consolidated Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor compliance with the risks and risk limits. The Consolidated Company develops a disciplined and constructive control environment through training, management guidelines and operating procedures to enable all employees to understand their roles and responsibilities.
The Audit Committee of the Consolidated Company oversees how management monitors compliance with the Consolidated Company’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the appropriateness of the Consolidated Company’s risk management framework in relation to the risks it is exposed to. Internal auditors assist the Consolidated Company’s Audit Committee in its oversight role. These personnel conduct regular and exceptional reviews of risk management controls and procedures and report the results of these reviews to the Audit Committee.
3. Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss arising from the failure of the Consolidated
~75~
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Company’s customers or counterparties to fulfill their contractual obligations, mainly from the Consolidated Company’s accounts receivable from customers and investments in securities.
(1) Accounts receivable and other receivables
The Consolidated Company’s credit risk exposures are primarily depended on each customer’s individual circumstances. However, management also considers statistical information about the Consolidated Company’s customer base, including the risk of default in the customer’s industry and country, as these factors may affect credit risk. Approximately 78% and 73% of the Consolidated Company’s revenue for 2024 and 2023, respectively, were derived from sales to customers in Mainland China, which resulted in a significant concentration of regional credit risk.
The Consolidated Company has established a credit policy whereby the Consolidated Company is required to analyze the credit rating of each new customer individually before granting standard payment and delivery terms. Credit sales limits are established on an individual customer basis and are reviewed periodically; customers who do not meet the Group’s benchmark credit rating may only transact business with the Consolidated Company on a pre-collection basis.
In monitoring customers’ credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are individuals or legal entities, age of accounts, maturity dates and pre-existing financial difficulties. The Consolidated Company maintains a Provisions account to reflect estimates of losses on accounts receivable and other receivables.
(2) Use of funds
The Consolidated Company’s investments in equity securities are placed through a centralized trading market and therefore have no significant credit transaction risk.
The credit risk of bank deposits, fixed income investments and other financial instruments is measured and reported to the Chairman of the Board of Directors by the Consolidated Company’s finance department. Since the Consolidated Company’s counterparties are creditworthy banks and financial institutions with investment grade or above, there are no significant performance concerns and therefore no significant credit risk.
4. Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Company will not be able to deliver cash or other financial assets to settle its financial liabilities and will not be able to meet its related obligations. The Consolidated Company’s approach to manage liquidity risk is to ensure that the Consolidated Company has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities as they fall due under normal and stressful circumstances and that there is no risk of unacceptable

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
loss or damage to the Consolidated Company’s reputation. In addition, the Consolidated Company has entered into unused borrowing lines totaling $3,985,039 thousands and $3,403,056 thousand, respectively as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 to cover unanticipated payments.
5. Market risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as changes in exchange rates, interest rates, and prices of equity instruments, will affect the Consolidated Company’s revenue or the value of financial instruments held by the Consolidated Company. The objective of market risk management is to manage the exposure to market risk to an acceptable level and to optimize investment returns.
The Consolidated Company engages in derivative transactions in order to manage market risk. All transactions are executed in accordance with the guidelines of the Board of Directors.
(1) Exchange rate risk
The Consolidated Company uses derivative transactions to hedge exchange rate risk due to its exposure to exchange rate risk arising from sales and purchase transactions that are not denominated in each Group Enterprise’s functional currency. Gains or losses on foreign currency assets and liabilities arising from changes in exchange rates are largely offset against natural hedges. Derivative transactions can help the Consolidated Company reduce, but still not completely eliminate, the impact of changes in foreign currency exchange rates.
The Consolidated Company periodically reviews individual foreign currency assets and liabilities for exposures and hedges against such exposures.
(2) Interest rate risk
The Consolidated Company’s interest rate risk arises primarily from variable rate bank deposits and short-term loans, and changes in interest rates will cause future cash flows to fluctuate as the effective interest rates on bank deposits and short-term loans change.
(3) Equity instrument price risk
If the price of equity securities changes at the reporting date (the same basis is used for both periods of analysis and other changes are assumed to be constant), the effect on the consolidated profit and loss items would be as follows:
| Price of securities on reporting date Up by 1% Down by 1% |

(29) Capital management
It is the Board’s policy to maintain a sound capital base to maintain the confidence of investors, creditors and the market and to support the development of future operations. Capital consists of the Consolidated Company’s share capital, capital surplus and retained earnings. The Board of Directors controls the rate of return on capital and also controls the level of dividends on ordinary shares.
In order to maintain or adjust its capital structure, the Consolidated Company may adjust dividends paid to shareholders, reduce capital to refund shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to settle liabilities.
The Consolidated Company controls its capital on a debt-to-capital ratio basis. The ratio is calculated by dividing net debt by total capital. Net debt is total liabilities less cash and cash equivalents as shown on the balance sheet. Total capital represents all components of equity (i.e., equity, capital surplus, retained earnings and other equity) plus net debt. The debt-to-capital ratio at the reporting date is as follows:
Total liabilities Less: Cash and cash equivalents Net liabilities Total equity Debt-to-capital ratio |
