Independent Auditors' Report
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Lotes Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Lotes Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China and we have 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. The key audit matters that, in our judgment, should be communicated in the audit report are as follows:
- Revenue Recognition
For the accounting policies on revenue recognition, please refer to Note IV (16) to the consolidated financial statements; for the description of refund liabilities, please refer to Note VI (16); and for the disclosure of revenue, please refer to Note VI (24).
Description of Key Audit Matter:
Operating revenue is the most critical factor in determining the operating performance of the Group of significant concern to users of the financial statements. In addition, certain sales transactions involve sales discounts granted to customers in response to market conditions and business needs. Management estimates refund liabilities based on agreements with customers and records them as a deduction from operating revenue. Accordingly, testing of revenue recognition is one of the key areas of focus in our audit of the Group’s financial statements.
Audit Procedures Performed:
Our principal audit procedures included understanding and testing the design and operating effectiveness of internal controls related to sales transactions; performing cut-off testing by sampling sales transactions occurring near the balance sheet date and examining supporting external documentation to assess the appropriateness of the timing of revenue recognition; obtaining management’s methodology for estimating refund liabilities and evaluating whether such estimates are based on contractual terms with customers; and assessing the reasonableness of refund liability estimates by comparing them with subsequent actual results.
- Inventory Valuation
For the accounting policies on inventory valuation, please refer to Note IV (8) to the consolidated financial statements; for the uncertainty in accounting estimates and assumptions related to inventory valuation, please refer to Note V; and for information on inventory write-downs, please refer to Note VI (4).
Description of Key Audit Matter:
Due to rapid changes in market demand and advancements in production technology, existing products may face risks of obsolescence or reduced market demand. Certain inventories may become slow-moving or subject to declines in market prices. Therefore, testing of inventory valuation is one of the key areas of focus in our audit of the Group’s financial statements.
Audit Procedures Performed:
Our principal audit procedures included understanding the basis and methodology used by management in assessing the net realizable value of inventories; reviewing and recalculating the data used by management in its assessment, including testing estimated selling prices against the most recent sales records; examining the accuracy of inventory aging reports; and analyzing changes in inventory aging over different periods to evaluate the appropriateness of inventory write-downs.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Lotes Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’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 Group 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 Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 these consolidated 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:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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.
-
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 Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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 Group’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 consolidated 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 Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated 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.
6
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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors 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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report are Lee, Feng-Hui and Hsiao, Ya-Wen.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
For the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Specified Otherwise)
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. (See Note XIV)
II. Approval Date and Procedures of the Consolidated Financial Statements
The Consolidated Financial Statement was approved and released by the Board of Directors on March 11, 2026.
III. Application of New and Revised Standards and Interpretations
(1) Influence of the Adoption of New and Revised Standards and Integrations Approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission
The Consolidated Company has applied the following newly revised International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs) starting from January 1, 2025, which did not have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements:
- Amendments to IAS 21 “Lack of Exchangeability”
(2) Effect of Newly Revised IFRSs Not Yet Adopted but Approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission
The Consolidated Company has assessed the following newly revised IFRSs, which will be effective starting from January 1, 2026, and concluded that they are not expected to have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements:
- IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” and Amendments to IFRS 17
- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments”
- Annual Improvements to IFRSs
- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity”
13
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(3) Newly Issued and Revised Standards and Interpretations Not Yet Endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission
The following standards and interpretations have been issued or amended by the International Accounting Standards Board but have not yet been endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and may be relevant to the Consolidated Company:
| Newly Issued or Revised Standards | Key Amendments | Effective Date Issued by the IASB |
|---|---|---|
| International Financial Reporting Standard 18 – Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements | The new standard introduces three categories of income and expenses, two new subtotals in the statement of profit or loss, and a single note related to management performance measures. These changes and enhancements provide more detailed guidance on disaggregation in financial statements, laying the foundation for better and more consistent information for users and will impact all companies. |
• More Structured Statement of Profit or Loss: Under existing standards, companies use various formats to present their operating results, making it difficult for investors to compare financial performance across companies. The new standard adopts a more structured format and introduces a newly defined subtotal, “operating profit,” and classifies all income and expenses arising from a company’s main business activities into three new categories.
• Management Performance Measures (MPMs): The new standard introduces a definition of MPMs and requires companies to disclose, in a single note to the financial statements, an explanation of why each metric provides useful information, how it is calculated, and how it reconciles to amounts recognized under IFRSs.
• More Granular Information: The new standard includes enhanced guidance on how companies disaggregate information in financial statements. This includes guidance on whether information should be included in the primary financial statements or further disaggregated in the notes. | January 1, 2027
Note: On September 25, 2025, the Financial Supervisory Commission (the “FSC”) announced via a press release that Taiwan will adopt International Financial Reporting Standard No. 18 starting from the 2028 fiscal year. If a company elects to apply the standard earlier, it may choose early adoption upon approval by the FSC. |
14
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
The Consolidated Company is currently assessing the impact of the above standard and interpretation on its financial position and operating results. The related impact will be disclosed upon completion of the assessment.
The Consolidated Company anticipates that the following other newly issued or amended standards not yet endorsed will not have a material impact on the consolidated financial statements:
- Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”
- IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures” and amendments to IFRS 19
- Amendments to IAS 21 “Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency”
IV. Summary of Major Accounting Policies
The significant accounting policies adopted in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are summarized below. Except where otherwise stated, the following accounting policies have been consistently applied to all periods presented in these consolidated financial statements.
(1) Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
(2) Basis of Preparation
- Measurement Basis
These consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for the following significant items in the balance sheet:
(1) Financial assets at FVTPL, measured at fair value;
(2) Financial assets at FVTOCI, measured at fair value;
(3) Liabilities for cash-settled share-based payment arrangements, measured at fair value; and

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(3) Basis of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements comprise the Company and entities controlled by the Company (i.e., its subsidiaries).
The financial statements of subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial statements from the date on which control is obtained until the date on which control ceases. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to non-controlling interests, even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance. All intercompany transactions, balances, and any unrealized gains and losses arising from intercompany transactions are eliminated in preparing the consolidated financial statements.
The financial statements of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group.
Changes in the Group’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.

Note 4: Zhongshan Jinmeida Metal Surface Treatment Co., Ltd. completed the required statutory procedures in December 2025.
- Subsidiaries Not Included in the Consolidated Financial Statements: None.
(4) Foreign Currency
- Foreign Currency Transactions
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period (the "reporting date"), monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value was determined, whereas those measured at historical cost are translated using the exchange rates at the date of the transaction.
Exchange differences arising from translation are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for the following, which are recognized in other comprehensive income:
(1) Equity instruments designated as at FVTOCI;
(2) Financial liabilities designated as hedges of a net investment in a foreign operation, to the extent that the hedge is effective; or
(3) Qualifying cash flow hedges, to the extent that the hedge is effective.
- Foreign Operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into New Taiwan Dollars at the exchange rates at the reporting date. Income and expenses are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising from such translation are recognized in other comprehensive income.
When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, joint control, or significant influence is lost, the cumulative exchange differences related to that foreign operation are reclassified in full to profit or loss. When there is a partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation, the relevant cumulative exchange differences are reattributed proportionately to non-controlling interests. When there is a partial disposal of an associate or joint venture that includes a foreign operation, the relevant cumulative exchange differences are reclassified proportionately to profit or loss.
Monetary receivables from or payables to a foreign operation for which settlement is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future are considered part of the net investment in that foreign operation, and the related foreign exchange gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(5) Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
An asset is classified as a current asset if it meets any of the following criteria; all other assets are classified as non-current assets:
- It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;
- It is held primarily for trading purposes;
- It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
- It is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7), unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
A liability is classified as a current liability if it meets any of the following criteria; all other liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities:
- It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
- It is held primarily for trading purposes;
- It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
- The Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
(6) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition of cash equivalents and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes are classified as cash equivalents.
(7) Financial Instruments
Accounts receivable and debt securities issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the financial instrument. Financial assets (other than accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component) and financial liabilities not measured at FVTPL are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to their acquisition or issuance. Accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component are initially measured at the transaction price.
- Financial Assets
Purchases or sales of financial assets that require delivery of assets within a time frame established by regulation or convention in the marketplace (regular way trades) are accounted for consistently using either trade date accounting or settlement date accounting for all financial assets classified in the same manner.
On initial recognition, financial assets are classified as: financial assets measured at
20
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
amortized cost, debt investments measured at FVTOCI, equity investments measured at FVTOCI, or financial assets measured at (FVTPL.
The Consolidated Company reclassifies all affected financial assets only when it changes its business model for managing financial assets, and such reclassification is applied prospectively from the beginning of the next reporting period.
(1) Financial Assets Measured at Amortized Cost
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met and it is not designated as at fair value through profit or loss:
- The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.
(2) Financial Assets at FVTOCI
Debt investments are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met and they are not designated as at fair value through profit or loss:
- The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and
- The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
At initial recognition, the Consolidated Company may make an irrevocable election to present subsequent changes in the fair value of an equity investment that is not held for trading in other comprehensive income.
For debt investments, subsequent measurement is at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses, and impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income. Upon derecognition, the cumulative amount recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.
For equity investments, subsequent measurement is at fair value. Dividend income (unless it clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment) is recognized in profit or loss. All other net gains or losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are not reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividend income from equity investments is recognized when the Consolidated
21
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Company’s right to receive payment is established (usually on the ex-dividend date).
(3) Financial Assets at FVTPL
Financial assets that are not classified as measured at amortized cost or at FVTOCI, such as those held for trading or managed and evaluated on a fair value basis, are measured at fair value through profit or loss, including derivative financial assets. At initial recognition, the Consolidated Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset that otherwise meets the criteria to be measured at amortized cost or at FVTOCI as at FVTPL, if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch.
Subsequent to initial recognition, these assets are measured at fair value, and any net gains or losses (including any dividend and interest income) are recognized in profit or loss.
(4) Assessment of Business Model
The Consolidated Company assesses the objective of the business model in which a financial asset is held at a portfolio level, as this best reflects the way the business is managed and information is provided to management. The information considered includes:
- The stated policies and objectives for the portfolio and the operation of those policies. This includes whether management’s strategy focuses on earning contractual cash flows, maintaining a particular interest yield profile, matching the duration of financial assets with the duration of related liabilities or expected cash outflows, or realizing cash flows through the sale of financial assets;
- How the performance of the business model and the financial assets held within that business model are evaluated and reported to the key management personnel of the entity;
- The risks that affect the performance of the business model (and the financial assets held within that business model) and how those risks are managed; and
- The frequency, volume, and timing of sales of financial assets in prior periods, the reasons for such sales, and expectations regarding future sales activity.
Transfers of financial assets to third parties in transactions that do not qualify for derecognition are not considered sales for the purposes described above, which is consistent with the Consolidated Company’s continuing recognition of the assets.
(5) Assessment of Whether Contractual Cash Flows Are Solely Payments of Principal and Interest (SPPI)
For the purpose of this assessment, “principal” is defined as the fair value of the financial asset at initial recognition. “Interest” consists of consideration for the time value of money, credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period, and other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding, the Consolidated Company considers the
22
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
contractual terms of the instrument, including whether the financial asset contains contractual terms that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Consolidated Company considers:
- Contingent events that would change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows;
- Terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable interest rate features;
- Prepayment and extension features; and
- Terms that limit the Consolidated Company’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g., non-recourse features).
(6) Impairment of Financial Assets
The Consolidated Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable and accounts receivable, other receivables, refundable deposits, and other financial assets), debt investments measured at FVTOCI, and contract assets.
The following financial assets are measured using a 12-month ECL, while the others are measured using lifetime ECL:
- Debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date; and
- Other debt securities and bank deposits for which the credit risk (i.e., the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Loss allowances for accounts receivable and contract assets are measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
In determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Consolidated Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort, including both qualitative and quantitative information, as well as analyses based on the Consolidated Company’s historical experience, credit assessments, and forward-looking information.
The Consolidated Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the debtor is unlikely to pay its credit obligations in full to the Consolidated Company.
Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that results from default events that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the financial instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECL is the maximum contractual period over which the Consolidated Company is exposed to credit risk.
23
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
ECL is a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of a financial instrument. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls, i.e., the difference between the cash flows due to the Consolidated Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Consolidated Company expects to receive. ECL is discounted using the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the Consolidated Company assesses whether financial assets measured at amortized cost and debt investments measured at FVTOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is considered credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of that financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial asset is credit-impaired includes observable data about the following events:
- Significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;
- A breach of contract, such as default or delinquency beyond a specified period;
- The Consolidated Company granting concessions to the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, that it would not otherwise consider;
- It becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or
- The disappearance of an active market for the financial asset because of financial difficulties.
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. Loss allowances for debt investments measured at FVTOCI are recognized in profit or loss and in other comprehensive income, without reducing the carrying amount of the assets.
When the Consolidated Company has no reasonable expectation of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof, the gross carrying amount of the financial asset is written off directly. For corporate customers, the timing and amount of write-offs are assessed individually based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Consolidated Company expects that the amounts written off will not be significantly recovered. However, financial assets that have been written off may still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Consolidated Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
(7) Derecognition of Financial Assets
The Consolidated Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset have been transferred to another entity, or when it neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and
24
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
rewards of ownership and does not retain control of the financial asset.
When the Consolidated Company enters into transactions to transfer financial assets and retains all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred assets, the transferred assets continue to be recognized in 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 in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
(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 proceeds received, net of directly attributable issuance costs.
(3) Treasury Shares
When the Consolidated Company reacquires its own equity instruments that have been previously recognized, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable costs, is recognized as a deduction from equity. The reacquired shares are classified as treasury shares. Subsequent reissuance or resale of treasury shares is recognized as an increase in equity, and the difference between the consideration received and the carrying amount is recognized in capital surplus or retained earnings (if capital surplus is insufficient to absorb the difference).
(4) Compound Financial Instruments
Compound financial instruments issued by the Consolidated Company comprise convertible bonds denominated in New Taiwan Dollars, under which the holder has an option to convert the bonds into equity, and the number of shares to be issued does not vary with changes in fair value.
At initial recognition, the liability component of a compound financial instrument is measured at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. The equity component is measured as the residual amount, being 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 their initial carrying amounts.
Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, while the equity component is not remeasured.
Interest related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss. Upon conversion, the financial liability is reclassified to equity, and no gain or loss is recognized.
25
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(5) Financial Liabilities
Financial liabilities are classified as either measured at amortized cost or at FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is held for trading, is a derivative, or is designated as such at initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value, and any net gains or losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.
Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
(6) Derecognition of Financial Liabilities
The Consolidated Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged, cancelled, or expire. When the terms of a financial liability are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, the original financial liability is derecognized and a new financial liability is recognized at fair value based on the modified terms.
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid or payable (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
(7) Offsetting of Financial Assets and Liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and presented on a net basis in the balance sheet only when the Consolidated Company currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and intends either to settle on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
- Derivative Financial Instruments
The Consolidated Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its exposure to foreign currency risk. Embedded derivatives are separated from the host contract and accounted for separately when certain criteria are met and the host contract is not a financial asset.
Derivatives are initially measured at fair value; subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value, and any gains or losses arising from remeasurement are recognized directly in profit or loss.
(8) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost includes all costs of acquisition, conversion, and other costs incurred in bringing the inventories to their present location and condition, and is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress includes an appropriate proportion of manufacturing overheads allocated based on normal production capacity.
26
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(9) Investments in Associates
Associates are entities over which the Consolidated Company has significant influence, but not control or joint control, over their financial and operating policies.
Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method. Under the equity method, investments are initially recognized at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount of the investment includes goodwill identified at the time of acquisition, net of any accumulated impairment losses.
The consolidated financial statements include the Consolidated Company's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of associates, after adjustments are made to align the accounting policies with those of the Consolidated Company, from the date on which significant influence is obtained until the date on which significant influence ceases. When an associate's changes in equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income and do not affect the Consolidated Company's ownership interest, such changes are recognized in capital surplus in proportion to the Consolidated Company's ownership interest.
Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Consolidated Company and its associates are recognized only to the extent of the Consolidated Company's interest in the associates. When the Consolidated Company's share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, the Consolidated Company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses, except to the extent that it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate, in which case additional losses and corresponding liabilities are recognized.
(10) Investment Property
Investment property is property held to earn rental income, capital appreciation, or both, rather than for use in the production or supply of goods or services or for administrative purposes. Investment property is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The depreciation method, useful lives, and residual values are consistent with those applied to property, plant and equipment. Gains or losses arising from the disposal of investment property, determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, are recognized in profit or loss.
Rental income from investment property is recognized in other income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of total rental income over the lease term.
27
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(11) Property, Plant and Equipment
- Recognition and Measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost (including capitalized borrowing costs) less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
When significant components of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.
- Subsequent Costs
Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Consolidated Company.
- Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated based on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component.
Land is not depreciated.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
(1) Buildings and structures 20~40 years
(2) Machinery and equipment 2~10 years
(3) Other equipment 2~15 years
The Consolidated Company reviews the depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values at each reporting date and adjusts them if appropriate.
- Reclassification to Investment Property
When property occupied by the Consolidated Company changes its use to investment property, it is reclassified as investment property at its carrying amount at the date of change in use.
(12) Leases
At inception of a contract, the Consolidated Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if it conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
- Lessee
At the commencement date of the lease, the Consolidated Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of the lease liability, adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred, and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset and restore the site or the underlying asset, less any lease incentives received.
28
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Subsequently, the right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the Consolidated Company periodically assesses whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and recognizes any impairment losses identified. The right-of-use asset is also adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined; if not, the Consolidated Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. In general, the Consolidated Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise:
(1) Fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
(2) Variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate at the commencement date;
(3) Amounts expected to be payable under residual value guarantees; and
(4) The exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option, and payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the Company exercising a termination option.
Subsequently, the lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method and is remeasured when:
(1) There is a change in future lease payments arising from a change in an index or rate;
(2) There is a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee;
(3) There is a change in the assessment of a purchase option;
(4) There is a change in the assessment of whether the Company will exercise an extension or termination option, resulting in a change in the lease term; or
(5) There is a modification to the lease contract.
When the lease liability is remeasured due to changes in an index or rate, residual value guarantees, or reassessment of purchase, extension, or termination options, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset. If the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero, any remaining remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss.
For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and any difference between the remeasurement of the lease liability and the adjustment to the right-of-use asset is recognized in profit or loss.
29
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
The Consolidated Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property and lease liabilities as separate line items in the balance sheet.
For short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, the Consolidated Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Instead, the related lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
- Lessor
When the Consolidated Company acts as a lessor, it classifies each lease at the inception date as either a finance lease or an operating lease, depending on whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of the underlying asset are transferred. In making this assessment, the Consolidated Company considers specific indicators, including whether the lease term covers a major part of the economic life of the underlying asset.
When the Consolidated Company is an intermediate lessor in a sublease arrangement, it accounts for the head lease and the sublease separately and classifies the sublease by reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease. If the head lease is a short-term lease to which the recognition exemption is applied, the sublease is classified as an operating lease.
(13) Intangible Assets
- Recognition and Measurement
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses.
Other intangible assets, such as computer software acquired by the Consolidated Company, are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses.
- Subsequent Expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure is recognized in profit or loss as incurred, including internally generated goodwill and brands.
- 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 on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of 1 to 5 years, commencing from the date the asset is available for use.
The Consolidated Company reviews the amortization method, useful lives, and residual values of intangible assets at each reporting date and adjusts them if appropriate.
(14) Impairment of Non-financial Assets
At each reporting date, the Consolidated Company assesses whether there is any indication that the carrying amount of non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) may be impaired. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated.
30
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Goodwill is tested for impairment annually.
For the purpose of impairment testing, assets are grouped into the smallest identifiable group of assets that generates cash inflows largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or groups of assets (cash-generating units).
The recoverable amount of an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is the higher of its fair value less costs of disposal and its value in use. If the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized. Impairment losses are recognized immediately in profit or loss and are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash-generating unit, and then to the other assets of the unit on a pro rata basis according to their carrying amounts.
Impairment losses recognized for goodwill are not reversed. For other non-financial assets, impairment losses are reversed only to the extent that the carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined (net of depreciation or amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior periods.
(15) Provisions
Provisions are recognized when the Consolidated Company has a present obligation as a result of a past event, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability. The unwinding of the discount is recognized as interest expense.
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Where a provision is measured using estimated cash flows to settle the present obligation, its carrying amount is the present value of those cash flows.
Site Restoration
Provisions are recognized for the estimated costs of dismantling, removing, and restoring leased assets to their original condition, based on the obligations arising from the Consolidated Company's leased assets. Such costs are recognized as expenses over the lease term.
(16) Revenue Recognition
Revenue from Contracts with Customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Consolidated Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services. The Consolidated Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or service to a customer.
The Consolidated Company manufactures electronic components and sells them to
31
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
manufacturers in the electronics industry. Revenue is recognized when control of the products is transferred to the customer. Transfer of control occurs when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the distribution channels and pricing of the products, and there are no remaining performance obligations that could affect the customer's acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products are shipped to the specified location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Consolidated Company has objective evidence that all acceptance criteria have been satisfied.
Revenue is recognized based on the contract price net of estimated discounts. The amount of discounts is estimated based on historical experience and is recognized only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. As of the reporting date, the expected amounts payable to customers arising from such discounts are recognized as refund liabilities. The average credit period for sales ranges from 120 to 150 days, which is consistent with industry practice; therefore, no financing component is considered.
The Consolidated Company recognizes accounts receivable when the goods are delivered, as it has an unconditional right to consideration at that point in time.
The Consolidated Company expects that, for all customer contracts, the period between the transfer of goods or services and the payment by the customer will not exceed one year. Accordingly, the Consolidated Company does not adjust the transaction price for the time value of money.
(17) Employee Benefits
- Defined Contribution Plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are recognized as expenses during the period in which employees render services.
- Defined Benefit Plans
The Consolidated Company's net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated as the present value of the future benefits earned by employees for services rendered in the current or prior periods, less the fair value of plan assets.
The defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by qualified actuaries using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Consolidated Company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of any economic benefits available in the form of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. In determining the present value of economic benefits, any minimum funding requirements are taken into account.
32
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, including actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest), and any change in the effect of the asset ceiling (excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income and accumulated in retained earnings. The Consolidated Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual reporting period. Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.
When a plan amendment or curtailment occurs, the resulting changes in benefits related to past service cost or gains or losses on curtailment are recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Consolidated Company recognizes gains or losses on the settlement of defined benefit plans when the settlement occurs.
- Short-term Employee Benefits
Obligations for short-term employee benefits are recognized as expenses when the related services are rendered. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Consolidated Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past services provided by employees, and the obligation can be reliably estimated.
(18) Share-based Payment Transactions
Equity-settled share-based payment arrangements are measured at the fair value at the grant date and recognized as expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted based on the number of awards expected to meet the service conditions and non-market vesting conditions, and is ultimately measured based on the number of awards that meet the service conditions and non-market vesting conditions at the vesting date.
Non-vesting conditions of share-based payment arrangements are reflected in the measurement of the fair value at the grant date, and differences between expected and actual outcomes are not subsequently adjusted.
For cash-settled share appreciation rights, the fair value of the amount payable to employees is recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in liabilities, over the period during which the employees become unconditionally entitled to the payment. The liability is remeasured at fair value at each reporting date and at settlement date, and any changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss.
(19) Income Taxes
Income taxes comprise current income taxes and deferred income taxes. Except for those related to business combinations or items recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, current income taxes and deferred income taxes are recognized in profit or loss.
The Consolidated Company has determined that the top-up tax payable under the global
33
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
minimum tax rules (Pillar Two) falls within the scope of IAS 12, and has applied the temporary mandatory exception for the accounting of deferred income taxes related to the top-up tax. Any top-up tax incurred is recognized as current income tax.
Current income tax includes the expected tax payable or receivable on the taxable income (or loss) for the current year, and any adjustments to tax payable or receivable in respect of prior years. It is measured as the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid or received, using the tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred income tax is recognized in respect of temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases at the reporting date. Deferred income tax is not recognized for the following temporary differences:
- Temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, (i) affects neither accounting profit nor taxable income (loss) and (ii) does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences;
- Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint arrangements, to the extent that the Consolidated Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
- Taxable temporary differences arising from the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred income tax assets are recognized for unused tax losses, unused tax credits carried forward, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred income tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized, or reversed to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available.
Deferred income tax is measured using the tax rates expected to apply when the temporary differences reverse, based on the tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
The Consolidated Company offsets deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities only when the following conditions are met:
- The Consolidated Company has a legally enforceable right to offset current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities; and
- The deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
(1) the same taxable entity; or
34
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(2) different taxable entities that intend either to settle current income tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred income tax assets or liabilities are expected to be recovered or settled.
(20) Business Combinations
The Consolidated Company accounts for each business combination using the acquisition method. Goodwill is measured as the fair value of the consideration transferred at the acquisition date, including the amount of any non-controlling interests in the acquiree, less the net amount of the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed (generally measured at fair value). If the resulting amount is negative, the Consolidated Company reassesses whether all assets acquired and liabilities assumed have been properly identified, and then recognizes the resulting gain on a bargain purchase in profit or loss.
Transaction costs related to a business combination, other than those associated with the issuance of debt or equity instruments, are recognized as expenses in profit or loss as incurred. For non-controlling interests in the acquiree that represent present ownership interests and entitle their holders to a proportionate share of the entity's net assets in the event of liquidation, the Consolidated Company measures such interests, on a transaction-by-transaction basis, either at fair value at the acquisition date or at the proportionate share of the recognized amounts of the acquiree's identifiable net assets. Other components of non-controlling interests are measured at fair value or in accordance with other measurement bases prescribed by IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC.
(21) Earnings per Share
The Consolidated Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by adjusting profit or loss attributable to ordinary equity holders of the Company and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding for the effects of all dilutive potential ordinary shares. Potential dilutive ordinary shares of the Consolidated Company include convertible bonds and employee stock options.
(22) Segment Information
Operating segments are components of the Consolidated Company that engage in business activities from which they may earn revenues and incur expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Consolidated Company). The operating results of all segments are regularly reviewed by the Consolidated Company's chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segments and to assess their performance. Each segment has discrete financial information available.
35
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
V. Primary Sources of Major Accounting Judgment, Estimate and Assumption Uncertainties
In preparing these consolidated financial statements, management is required to make judgments and estimates about 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 continually reviews its estimates and underlying assumptions, which are consistent with the Consolidated Company's risk management framework and climate-related commitments. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively in the period in which the estimates are revised and in any future periods affected.

The impact of changes in key actuarial assumptions on the present value of the defined benefit obligation as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 is as follows:
| Impact on defined benefit obligation | ||
|---|---|---|
| Increase by 0.25% | Decrease by 0.25% | |

| Future salary increases | 1,906 | (1,855) |
| December 31, 2024 | ||
| Discount rate | (1,692) | 1,748 |
| Future salary increases | 1,738 | (1,691) |
The above sensitivity analysis is based on a change in one assumption while holding other assumptions constant. In practice, changes in many assumptions may be interrelated. The sensitivity analysis is consistent with the method used to calculate the net pension liability in the balance sheet.
The methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis are consistent with those used in the prior period.

2. Deferred Tax Assets and Liabilities
(1) Unrecognized Deferred Tax Assets
The Consolidated Company has not recognized deferred tax assets for the following items:

Tax losses may be carried forward and deducted from taxable income within ten years as approved by the tax authorities in accordance with the Income Tax Act. These items have not been recognized as deferred tax assets because it is not probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available in the future against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

(26) Compensation to Employees and Directors
On June 13, 2025, the Company’s shareholders resolved to amend the Articles of Incorporation. According to the amended provisions, if the Company has profits in a given fiscal year, no less than 2% shall be appropriated as employees’ compensation (of which no less than 20% shall be allocated to rank-and-file employees) and no more than 2% as directors’ compensation. However, if the Company has accumulated losses, the amount required to cover such losses shall be reserved first. The recipients of employees’ compensation, in the form of shares or cash, include qualifying subordinate employees. According to the previous Articles of Incorporation, if the Company had profits in a given fiscal year, no less than 2% was to be appropriated as employees’ compensation and no more than 3% as directors’ compensation. However, if the Company had accumulated losses, the amount required to cover such losses had to be reserved first, and then employees’ and directors’ compensation would be appropriated according to the aforementioned ratios. The recipients of employees’ compensation, in the form of shares or cash, could include employees of qualifying controlling or subordinate companies.
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company accrued employee compensation of NT$191,000 thousand (including NT$38,200 thousand for non-executive employees) and NT$220,000 thousand, respectively, and director compensation of NT$8,000 thousand and NT$4,480 thousand, respectively. Such amounts were estimated based on the Company’s profit before tax for the respective periods, before deduction of employee and director compensation, multiplied by the distribution percentages stipulated in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, and were recognized as cost of sales or operating expenses for the respective periods. If the actual distribution resolved in the following year differs from the estimated amounts, such differences are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates and recognized in the following year’s profit or loss.
If the actual amounts resolved in the following year differ from the estimated amounts, such differences are accounted for as changes in accounting estimates and recognized in profit or loss in the following year. There was no difference between the amount of employee compensation resolved by the Board of Directors and the amount estimated in the 2024

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 diversity of functional currencies within the Consolidated Company, exchange gains and losses on monetary items are disclosed on an aggregated basis. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, foreign exchange gains and losses (including realized and unrealized amounts) amounted to a loss of NT$946,099 thousand and a gain of NT$910,021 thousand, respectively.
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(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, 2025 and 2024, if the New Taiwan Dollar had strengthened or weakened by 1% against the foreign currencies held by the Consolidated Company, with all other variables held constant, profit after tax for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased or decreased by NT$110,590 thousand and NT$171,795 thousand, respectively. The analysis for both periods is based on the same assumptions.
- 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 key management is 1% up or down, which represents the management's assessment of the reasonable range of possible interest rate changes.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Consolidated Company held financial assets with variable interest rates amounting to NT$6,719,852 thousand and NT$7,238,819 thousand, respectively, and financial liabilities with variable interest rates amounting to NT$5,000 thousand and NT$35,000 thousand, respectively. If interest rates had increased or decreased by 1%, with all other variables held constant, profit after tax for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased or decreased by NT$53,719 thousand and NT$57,631 thousand, respectively.
- 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.

Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
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:
| Dec. 31, 2025 | Dec. 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Book value | Fair value | Book value | Fair value | |

| Financial liabilities | ||||
| Bonds payable | 294,278 | 294,600 | 288,665 | 288,090 |
(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 Consolidated Company’s fair value measurements classified as Level 3 primarily include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss – derivative financial instruments, private equity fund investments, foreign 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 – foreign bonds, due to the lack of active market quotations, fair value is determined based on counterparty quotations. As it is impracticable to sufficiently understand the correlation between significant unobservable inputs and fair value, quantitative information is not disclosed. Quantitative information for other significant unobservable inputs used in Level 3 fair value measurements is presented below:
| Item | Valuation techniques | Significant unobservable inputs | Relationship between significant unobservable inputs and fair value |
|---|---|---|---|
| Financial assets measured at FVTPL - Embedded derivatives - right of redemption | Binary tree method for pricing convertible bond | ·Volatility: December 31, 2025 –39.37%; December 31, 2024 – 43.22% | ·The higher the volatility, the higher the fair value |
| Financial assets measured at FVTPL - investment in private equity fund | Net asset value approach | ·Net asset value | ·Higher net asset value leads to higher fair value |
| Financial assets measured at FVTOCI - investment in equity instruments with no active market | Comparable company analysis | ·Price-to-book ratio multiplier: December 31, 2025 –1.87; December 31, 2024 – 2.30 | |

(7) Valuation process for fair value classified in Level 3
The 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:
| Input value | Upward or downward changes | Fair value changes reflected in profit or loss for the period | Fair value changes reflected in other comprehensive income | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Favorable changes | Unfavorable changes | Favorable changes | Unfavorable changes | |||
| December 31, 2025 | ||||||
| Financial assets measured at FVTPL | ||||||
| Embedded derivatives - right of redemption | Volatility | 5% | $ - | - | - | - |
| Stock price | 10% | - | - | - | - | |
| Financial assets measured at FVTOCI | ||||||
| Investments in equity instruments with no active market | Net market value multiplier | 1% | - | - | 48 | (31) |
| Lack of marketability discount | 1% | - | - | 48 | (31) | |
| December 31, 2024 | ||||||
| Financial assets measured at FVTPL | ||||||
| Embedded derivatives - right of redemption | Volatility | 5% | 120 | (150) | - | - |
| Stock price | 10% | 300 | (60) | - | - | |
| Financial assets measured at FVTOCI | ||||||
| Investments in equity instruments with no active market | Net market value multiplier | 1% | - | - | 54 | (48) |
| Lack of marketability discount | 1% | - | - | 62 | (56) |
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 arising from financial instruments:
(1) Credit risk
(2) Liquidity risk
(3) Market risk
This note presents information about the Consolidated Company’s exposure to each of the above risks, the objectives, policies, and processes for measuring and managing risk. Further quantitative disclosures are provided in the respective notes to the consolidated financial statements.
- Risk Management Framework
The Board of Directors has authorized the Chairman to be fully responsible for establishing and overseeing the Consolidated Company’s risk management framework, and to report its operation to the Board on a regular basis.
The Consolidated Company’s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to risk limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Consolidated Company’s operations. Through training programs, management guidelines, and operating procedures, the Consolidated Company aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and responsibilities.
The Audit Committee oversees how management monitors compliance with the Consolidated Company’s risk management policies and procedures and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced. Internal auditors assist the Audit Committee in performing its oversight role. They conduct regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures and report the results to the Audit Committee.
- Credit Risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Consolidated Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations, and arises principally from the Consolidated Company’s accounts receivable from customers and investments in securities.
(1) Accounts Receivable and Other Receivables
The Consolidated Company’s exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, management also considers statistical data relating to the Consolidated Company’s customer base, including the default risk of the industries and countries in which customers operate, as these factors
74
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
may affect credit risk. Approximately 69% and 78% of the Consolidated Company’s revenue for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were derived from sales to customers located in Mainland China, resulting in a significant concentration of geographic credit risk.
The Consolidated Company has established a credit policy under which each new customer is analyzed individually for creditworthiness before standard payment and delivery terms are offered. Credit limits are established for each customer and are reviewed periodically. Customers that do not meet the Consolidated Company’s benchmark credit rating may only transact on a prepayment basis.
In monitoring customer credit risk, customers are grouped according to their credit characteristics, including whether they are individuals or legal entities, aging profiles, due dates, and prior financial difficulties. The Consolidated Company establishes loss allowance accounts to reflect estimated losses for accounts receivable and other receivables.
(2) Investment of Funds
The Consolidated Company invests in equity securities through centralized trading markets; therefore, there is no significant credit risk associated with such transactions.
The credit risk associated with bank deposits, fixed-income investments, and other financial instruments is measured by the Consolidated Company’s finance department and reported to the Chairman. As the Consolidated Company’s counterparties and obligors are reputable banks and financial institutions with investment-grade credit ratings or above, there are no significant concerns regarding default risk, and therefore no significant credit risk exposure.
- Liquidity Risk
Liquidity risk is the risk that the Consolidated Company will encounter difficulty in meeting obligations associated with financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Consolidated Company’s approach to managing liquidity risk is to ensure that it will always have sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Consolidated Company’s reputation. To address unexpected funding requirements, as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Consolidated Company had unused credit facilities totaling NT$4,306,480 thousand and NT$3,985,039 thousand, respectively.
- Market Risk
Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices, will affect the Consolidated Company’s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters while optimizing returns.
75
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
The Consolidated Company engages in derivative transactions to manage market risk. All such transactions are carried out in accordance with the guidelines approved by the Board of Directors.
(1) Foreign Exchange Risk
The Consolidated Company is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from sales and purchases denominated in currencies other than the respective functional currencies of group entities. Accordingly, the Consolidated Company uses derivative financial instruments to hedge foreign exchange risk. Gains or losses arising from changes in exchange rates on foreign currency-denominated assets and liabilities are generally offset through natural hedging. While derivative transactions help reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations, they cannot completely eliminate such effects.
The Consolidated Company regularly reviews its exposure to individual foreign currency assets and liabilities and implements hedging strategies for such exposures.
(2) Interest Rate Risk
The Consolidated Company's interest rate risk arises mainly from variable-rate bank deposits and short-term borrowings. Changes in interest rates will affect the effective interest rates of these instruments and cause fluctuations in future cash flows.
(3) Equity Price Risk
If equity security prices had changed at the reporting date (with all other variables held constant and based on the same assumptions for both periods), the impact on comprehensive income would have been as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Change in security prices at the reporting date | Other comprehensiv e income (net of tax) | Profit or loss (net of tax) | Other comprehensiv e income (net of tax) | Profit or loss (net of tax) |
| Increase by 1% | $ 2,811 | 8,946 | 1,865 | 1,063 |
| Decrease by 1% | $ (2,811) | (8,946) | (1,865) | (1,063) |
(29) Capital Management
The Board of Directors' policy is to maintain a strong capital base to sustain investor, creditor, and market confidence and to support the future development of the Consolidated Company's operations. Capital consists of share capital, capital surplus, and retained earnings of the Consolidated Company. The Board monitors the return on capital and also monitors the level of dividends on ordinary shares.
To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Consolidated Company may adjust dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders through capital reduction, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce liabilities.
The Consolidated Company monitors capital using the debt-to-capital ratio. This ratio is
76
Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is defined as total liabilities as shown in the balance sheet less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital is defined as total equity (i.e., share capital, capital surplus, retained earnings, and other equity) plus net debt. The debt-to-capital ratio as of the reporting date is as follows:
| Dec. 31, 2025 | Dec. 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Total liabilities | $ 10,018,416 | 12,251,177 |
| Less: cash and cash equivalents | (12,499,891) | (18,658,882) |
| Net debt | $ (2,481,475) | (6,407,705) |
| Total equity | $ 40,414,835 | 37,959,872 |
| Debt-to-capital ratio | (6.54)% | (20.31)% |
(30) Investment and fund-raising activities for non-cash transactions
