Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Lingsen Precision Industries, Ltd.
Audit opinions
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Lingsen Precision Industries, Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
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, 2022 and 2021, 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 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 Regulation Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the R.O.C. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. The auditors of the firm, subject to the independence regulations, have maintained independence from the Group in accordance with the Code of Ethics and perform other obligations of such Code. 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 of the Group for the year 2022. 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 for the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year 2022 are
- 4 -
stated as follows:
Authenticity of service revenue recognition
The main source of revenue of the Group relies on the service revenue from the various wafers and integrated circuit packaging and testing services; therefore, the service revenue is determined to be the main indicator for the management to evaluate the business performance, and its recognition authenticity has a material impact on the overall financial statements. Accordingly, the authenticity of the recognition of specific customer service revenue is listed as the key audit matter. For revenue recognition related accounting policy, please refer to Notes 4 and 21 of the consolidated financial statements.
We summarize the main audit procedures executed for the aforementioned matters of the current year as follows:
-
Understand and assess the internal control design related to the audit and risk in the product sales and payment collection cycle and conduct a test on its effectiveness.
-
Inspect and obtain samples from the account sales of specific customers, and inspect relevant documents of delivery orders and sales invoices, and also verify whether the payment collection subjects are consistent with the delivery subjects, and also perform letter issuance for customers of service revenue, in order to verify the authenticity of the service revenue.
Other Matters
Lingsen Precision Industries, Ltd. has prepared the parent company only financial statements for 2022 and 2021, to which we have also issued an independent auditor's report with unqualified opinion along with the section on other matters and provided for reference.
Responsibilities of Management Level 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 R.O.C., 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, the responsibilities of the management include 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 the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial
- 5 -
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. The term of “reasonable assurance” refers to high level of assurance. Nevertheless, the audit performed according to the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards cannot guarantee the discovery of material misstatement in the financial statements. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risk of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error, design and adopt appropriate countermeasures for the risks assessed, and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence in order to be used as the basis for the 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 a necessary understanding of internal control concerning the inspection in order to design appropriate inspection procedures that are appropriate for the time being. The purpose, however, is not to effectively express opinions on the internal control of the Group.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management level.
-
According to the audit evidence obtained, evaluate the appropriateness of the continuous operation accounting basis and whether events or circumstances possibly generating material concerns on the continuous operation ability of the Group have significant uncertainty, and provide conclusion thereto. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. Nevertheless, future events or circumstances may cause the Group to have no ability for continuous operation.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including relevant notes, 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 for the financial information of individual entities of the Group and provide opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We handle the guidance, supervision and execution of the audit on the Group and are responsible for preparing the opinion for the Group.
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 the governance units with statements that we have complied with relevant matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and we have also communicated with the governance units on all relationships and other matters (including relevant protective measures) that may be considered to affect the independence of auditors.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Group’s 2022 consolidated financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- (1) Statement of Compliance
The preparation of the consolidated financial statements is based on the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" and IFRSs accepted and effectively published by FSC.
- (2) Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis
- 15 -
except for financial instruments and the present value of the defined benefit obligation deducting the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) of the fair value of any plan assets which are measured at fair value.
The fair value measurements are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
-
Level 1 inputs: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date.
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
-
(3) Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
Current assets include:
-
Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date; and
-
Cash and cash equivalent (unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the date of statement of financial position).
Current liabilities include:
-
Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
Liabilities expected to be settled within twelve months after the maturity of the debt (even if the liability at the date of statement of financial position to complete the long-term refinancing prior to the financial statements or reschedule payment agreement), and
-
Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
- (4) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e. its subsidiaries). Adjustments have been made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to allow their accounting policies to be consistent with those used by the Group. During the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the transaction, account balance, revenue and expense among entities have been eliminated completely. The total
- 16 -
comprehensive income/loss of the subsidiaries are attributed to the owner’s and non-controlling interests of the Company, and the same is true when the non-controlling interests consequently become loss balance.
Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Company’s interests and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to shareholders of the Company.
Please see Note 11 and Tables 4 and 5 for details of subsidiaries, percentage of ownership and business.
(5) Foreign Currency
In preparing the financial statements of each individual Group entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
Foreign currency monetary amount is translated at the closing rate at each date of the balance sheet. Exchange differences arising from settlement or translation are recognized as profit or loss at the period.
Non-monetary foreign currencies held at fair value at the exchange rates prevailing at the date of transaction; however, non-monetary foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items carried at historical cost are reported using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction and will not calculated again.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, assets and liabilities from foreign operations, are including subsidiaries whose location or currency are different from the Company, are translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollar, at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates at the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income and attributed to the owner and non-controlling interests, respectively.
(6) Inventories
Inventories include raw materials, work in process, finished goods and products. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The lower of cost and net realizable value is based on the individual inventory items. Net realized value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The inventory cost is measured by using First In, First Out.
(7) Investment in Associates
The associates are entities which are material to the Group, but not subsidiaries or
- 17 -
joint venture companies.
Investments in the associates are accounted for using the equity method.
Under the equity method, an investment is initially recognized in the statements of financial positional cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group's share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associates as well as the distribution received. The Company also recognizes its share in the changes in equities of associates.
The Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses if its share of losses of the associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate. The Group recognizes the additional losses and liabilities which occur in the scope of legal obligation, constructive obligation or payment on behalf of the associates only.
During the evaluation of the impairment of the Group, the entire carrying amount of the investment is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss is not amortized to any assets as part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
- (8) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recognized at costs and subsequently measured at costs of the amount less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction for production are recognized as the cost, and such cost includes professional service fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Upon completion and ready for intended use, such assets are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment, and depreciation of these assets commences.
Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method, and each significant part is depreciated separately. The Group reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method at least at the end of each reporting period, and with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
- (9) Impairments of related assets including property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and contract cost
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews whether there is any indication that its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
- 18 -
Recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
Inventories recognized in customers' contracts are recognized as impairment loss in accordance with Inventory write off policy and the aforementioned regulations. Subsequently, the excess of carrying amount of assets associated with contract cost over the price received from providing relevant products or service, less direct relevant costs, is recognized as impairment loss. Then the carrying amount of assets associated with contract cost is computed to its cash-generating unit to evaluate the impairment losses on cash-generating unit.
When impairment loss subsequently reverses, the carrying amounts of the asset, cash-generating units or contract cost and related assets are increased to the revised recoverable amounts. However, the increased carrying amounts shall not exceed the carrying amounts of the asset, cash-generating units or contract cost and related assets which were not recognized as impairment loss at the past period (less amortization or depreciation). The reversal of impairment loss is recognized as profit or loss.
- (10) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
-
1) Classification of measurement Financial assets held by the Group are classified to financial assets measured at amortized cost and investments in equity instruments measured through other comprehensive income at fair value.
-
i) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
When the financial assets invested by the Group satisfy the following two criteria at the same time, it is classified as the amortized cost financial assets:
-
19 -
-
a. Where the financial assets are held under certain business model, and the purpose of such model is to hold the financial assets in order to collect contract cash flows; and
-
b. Where contract terms generated cash flow of specific date and such cash flow is completely for the payment of the interest of principle and external circulating principle amount.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost include cash and cash equivalent, financial assets at amortized cost- current, contract assets, note receivables, account receivables, other receivables, other current assets and refundable deposits. When the recognition commences, effective interest method is used to determine the carrying amount less any amortized cost of depreciation. Any exchange gains and losses are recognized as gains and losses.
Except for the following two circumstances, calculation of interest income is based on effective interest rate multiplied by total financial asset’s carrying amount:
-
a. Purchase or origination of credit-impaired financial loans, interest income, credit-adjusted effective interest rate plus financial loans, post-calculation.
-
b. Non-purchased or originated credit-impaired financial loans, provided that subsequent credit-impaired financial loans continue to be credit-impaired;
Credit losses on financial assets are significant financial difficulty of the issuer or borrower, a breach of contract, 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.
Cash equivalents, for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments, consist of highly liquid time deposits and investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value and acquired within three months.
- ii) Investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income
On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designate investments in equity instruments that is not held for trading and not recognized as contingent consideration as at FVTOCI.
Investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value. Subsequently the changes in fair value are reported in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. On disposal of investments, the accumulated profit or loss is directly transferred to retained earnings and it is not reclassified to profit or loss.
- 20 -
The dividend from investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in profit or loss upon the Group's right to receive payment is established, except for apparently the dividend representing the recovery of the partial investment cost.
- 2) Impairments of financial assets and contract assets
At the date of each balance sheet, the Group reviews expected credit losses to estimate the impairment loss of financial assets, including notes receivable, and contract assets measured at amortized cost.
The loss allowance for accounts receivable is measured at an amount equal to useful lives expected credit losses. Other financial assets are assessed to determine whether the credit risk has significantly increased since the original recognition. If there is no significant increase, then the allowance loss is recognized according to the 12-month expected credit loss. If it has increased significantly, then allowance loss is recognized according to the lifetime expected credit loss.
Expected credit losses are weighted average credit losses with the probability of default events. The 12-month expected credit losses are expected credit losses that result from default events possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Lifetime expected credit losses result from all possible default events over the expected life of the financial instruments.
For the purpose of internal controls on credit risk, without considering the collaterals it holds, the Group determines the following events as a breach of contract:
-
i) There is internal or outside information prevails that it is not possible the borrower pays off the debt.
-
ii) The overdue exceeds the average credit period, unless reasonable and supportable information indicates that a delayed default basis is more appropriate.
All impairment losses on financial assets is decreased its carrying amount through contra accounts.
- 3) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group 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 to another party.
On derecognition of financial assets at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of Investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained
- 21 -
earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.
Financial liabilities
-
1) Follow-up measurement
-
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using effective interest method.
-
2) Derecognition of financial liabilities
On the derecognition of financial liabilities, the difference between their carrying amount and the consideration paid and payable, including any transfer of non-cash assets or liabilities, is recognized as profit or loss.
(11) Provision for liabilities
The amount recognized as a provision for liabilities is, taking risk and uncertainty of obligation into consideration, the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the date of balance sheet.
(12) Revenue recognition
The Group allocates the transaction price to each performance obligation and recognizes the revenue when each of the obligations is satisfied after the customer has identified it.
1) Sales revenue
Sales revenue comes from the sale of semiconductor materials. Since the clients are eligible for pricing and using the products as well as responsible for reselling and taking the risk of depreciation upon the delivery of semiconductor materials, the Company shall recognize the revenue and accounts receivable upon the sale.
- 2) Service income
Service Income comes from packaging and final testing.
When the customer simultaneously receives and consumes the benefits provided by the Group's performance of packaging and final testing service, or the customer controls an asset which the Group's performance has created or enhanced, the related revenue is recognized. Packaging of products relies on the involvement of technicians. The Group measures the work in progress by the percentage of completion. The contract with customer states that the customer is billed after the packaging or the delivery has been completed. A contract asset is thus recognized when the Group renders the service and transfers to accounts receivable when the packaging or delivery is completed. Final testing counts on the involvement of technicians. The Group measures the work in progress by the percentage of completion. Contract customer is billed after the completion of service, and the Group then recognizes accounts receivable when rendering the service.
(13) Leases
- 22 -
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
- 1) The Group as the lessor
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
The sublease of right-of-use assets of the Group is classified by reference to right-of-use assets, instead of underlying assets. However, if the main lease is short-term lease applicable to recognition exemption of the Group, such sublease is classified as operating leases.
Under the operating lease, lease payments less lease incentives granted are recognized as revenue on a straight-line basis. The initial direct cost which occurs on granting operating leases is the carrying amount accumulated to the underlying assets and is recognized as expense on a straight of line basis.
- 2) The Group as the Lessee
Except for payments for low-value asset leases and short-term leases applicable to exemption of recognition are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of the lease.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities, lease payments made before commencement date less lease incentives granted, and initial direct costs as well as estimated costs to restore the underlying assets. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments and the default fine arises from lease termination. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate in a lease if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the incremental borrowing rate.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized as profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
- 23 -
(14) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that can be directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of a qualifying asset, that necessarily takes a substantial period of time to get ready for its intended use or sale, are included in the cost of the asset.
Where funds are borrowed specifically, costs eligible for capitalization are the actual costs incurred less any income earned on the temporary investment of such borrowings.
Other borrowing costs at the period are recognized as profit or loss.
- (15) Government grants
A government grant is recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grant and the grant will be received.
The grant receivable as compensation for costs already incurred or for immediate financial support, with no future related costs, shall be recognized as profit or loss in the period in which it is receivable.
-
(16) Employee benefits
-
1) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render service.
- 2) Pensions
For defined contribution plans, the amount of contribution payable in respect of service rendered by employees in that period should be recognized as expenses.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur.
Net defined benefit liability represents the actual deficit in the Group’s defined benefit plan. Net defined benefit liability shall not exceed the present value of refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan.
- (17) Share-Based Payment Agreement - Employee Stock Option
Employee stock options for employees
- 24 -
Employee stock options are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis during the vesting period based on the fair value of the equity instrument on the date of grant and the best estimated quantity expected to be acquired, and at the same time adjust the capital reserve - employee stock options. If it is immediately vested on the grant date, it shall be fully recognized as an expense on the grant date.
The company revises the estimated number of employee stock options expected to be acquired on each balance sheet date. If there is a revision to the original estimated quantity, the affected number is recognized as profit or loss, so that the accumulated expenses reflect the revised estimate, and the capital reserve-employee stock option is adjusted accordingly.
(18) Income tax
The provision for income tax recognized in profit or loss comprises current and deferred tax.
1) Current tax
The Group has determined the current income (losses) and calculated taxes payable (receivable) in accordance with regulations established by the jurisdiction for tax return.
According to Income Tax Act in Republic of China, an additional income tax levied at unappropriated earnings is recognized in shareholders' annual meeting.
Income tax payable for prior period is adjusted to the current income tax.
- 2) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is accounted for temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities in the financial statements and the corresponding tax basis used in the computation of taxable profit or loss.
Deferred tax liability is generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax asset is recognized for deductible temporary differences or loss carryforwards to the extent that taxable profit is probably available.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group can control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits to realize the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the date of balance sheet and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to
- 25 -
be recovered. The deferred tax assets originally not recognized is also reviewed at the date of balance sheet and increased to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year in which the liability is settled or the asset is recovered, based on tax rates and laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the date of balanced sheet. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that arise from the manner in which the Group expects, at the date of balance sheet, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
- 3) Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except the current and deferred tax that relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity are recognized respectively in other comprehensive income or directly in equity.
5. Significant Accounting Assumptions and Judgment, and Major Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experiences and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Group incorporates the recent development of the new coronavirus pneumonia epidemic and the possible impact of the military conflict between Russia and Ukraine and related international sanctions on the economic environment into relevant major accounting estimates such as cash flow estimation, growth rate, discount rate, and profitability. For these considerations, management will continue to review the estimates and underlying assumptions. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period when the estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period. If revisions affect both current and future periods, the accounting estimates are recognized in the current and future periods.
Major source of estimates and assumption uncertainty
- (1) Loss of property, plant, and equipment
Equipment relevant to semiconductor manufacturing is evaluated in accordance with the recoverable amount of such equipment (equal to the fair value of such asset less cost to sell and the higher amount of its use value). Market value or future changes in cash flow will affect the recoverable amount, resulting in the Group recognizing addition impairment losses or reversing impairment losses recognized.

The average collection period for selling products and rendering service is 60 to 90 days, excluding accounts receivable. Credit of key customers is rated by using other public available financial information and historic transaction records. The Group continues supervising credit risk exposure and credit rating of the counterparty, as well as distributing the total transaction amount into different qualified customers. In addition, the management shall review and approve counterparty's line of credit for the purpose of managing credit risk exposure.
To mitigate credit risk, the management of the Group has designated functional working group responsible for decision on line of credit, credit approval and other supervision to ensure proper action has been taken to collect overdue accounts receivable. In addition, the collectible amount of accounts receivable shall be reviewed individually at the date of balance sheet to ensure the uncollectible accounts receivable has been listed to appropriate impairment loss. According these, the management considers the Group's credit risk has significantly decreased.
The loss allowance for accounts receivable is measured at an amount equal to useful lives expected credit losses. For the useful lives expected credit losses, customers' default on records and present financial position, economic trends, as well as GDP expectation and industry outlook are considered. The experience on the Group's credit losses presents that types of loss on different customer groups do not bring obvious differences. Thus the rate of expected credit losses is set based on accounts receivable aging, without further grouping customers.
If any evidence shows the counterparty faces significant financial difficulty and the collectible amount cannot be reasonably expected, the Group will directly offset the relevant accounts receivable but keep track of the receivables. The recovered amount is recognized in profit or loss.

Due to the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act of R.O.C. the Group is exposed to the following risks:
-
1) Investment risk: The pension funds are invested in domestic and foreign equity securities, debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau of Labor Funds’ designated authorities or under the mandated management. However, the distributable amount of plan assets of the Group shall not be less than the return calculated by the average interest rate on a two-year time deposit published by the local banks.
-
2) Interest risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation. However, the return on the debt
-

investments of the plan assets will increase as well. The two will be partially offset on net defined benefit liabilities
- 3) Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation of the Group are carried out by qualified actuaries. The principal assumptions are as follows:
| follows: | ||
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate Expected salary increase rate |
December 31,2022 1.30% 2.00% |
December 31,2021 |
| 0.70% 2.00% |
If reasonably likely changes respectively occur in the principal assumptions and all other assumptions are held constant, the amount of present value of the defined benefit obligation is increased or decreased as follows:
| Discount rate Increase by 0.25% Decrease by 0.25% Expected salary increase rate Increase by 0.25% Decrease by 0.25% |
December 31,2022 ($ 14,474) $ 14,981 $ 14,839 ($ 14,411) |

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not reflect the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

Such risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
1) Market risk
The Group is exposed to the financial market risks, primarily changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, due to its operation.
The Group is exposed to market risk associated with financial instruments and the management and measurement of such exposure have not changed.
- i) Foreign currency risk
The Group's sales and purchase transactions are denominated in foreign currency, which exposes the Group to foreign currency risk. - 48 -
Approximately 38%~42% of sales revenue is not denominated in functional currency and approximately 39%~43% of the cost is not denominated in functional currency.
Please see Note 31 for the carrying amount of monetary assets and liabilities denominated in non-functional currency at the date of balance sheet.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group is mainly affected by fluctuations in USD and JPY.
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity analysis to a 1% increase and decrease in NTD against the relevant foreign currency. The rate of 1% is the sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to the key management and represents the management’s assessment of the reasonably likely change in foreign exchange rate. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and the end-of-year exchange rate is adjusted to 1% increase and decrease. The following table details the amount resulting in changes in net loss before tax to a 1% increase and decrease in NTD against the relevant foreign currency.
Impact of fluctuations in exchange rate on profit or loss
| Categories of currency USD Japanese yen |
2022 $ 4,319 161 |
2021 |
|---|---|---|
| $ 1,031 10 |
ii) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk for the reason that it has borrowed money at both fixed and variable rate. The Group maintains an appropriate fixed and floating rate for portfolio to manage interest rate risk. The hedge is evaluated on a regular basis, which makes its point of view and the established risk preference identical, to ensure the most efficient hedging strategy is adopted.
The carrying accounts of financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk at the date of balance sheet are as follows:
Fair value interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities Cash flow interest rate risk Financial assets Financial liabilities |
December 31,2022 $ 690,770 349,603 1,152,952 1,540,577 |
December 31,2021 $ 740,851 252,017 1,224,360 1,497,550 |
|---|---|---|
Sensitivity analysis
- 49 -
The following sensitivity analysis is determined in accordance with interest rate risk of non-derivative instruments at the date of balance sheet. For the floating rate liabilities, the analysis is to assume that the amount of liabilities outstanding at the date of balance sheet is all outstanding at the reporting period. The rate of change used to report interest rate to the key management of the Group is 1% increase and decrease in interest rate and represents the management's assessment of reasonable likely changes in interest rate.
For floating-rate financial assets and liabilities, when interest rate is increase by 1% and other conditions remain unchanged, the net profit (loss) before tax of the Group in 2022 and 2021 are NT$3,876,000 and NT$2,732,000 respectively.
iii) Other price risk
The Group is exposed to price risk due to investments in equity secures. The management manages the risk by investing in portfolio with different risks.
Sensitivity analysis
The following sensitivity is analyzed according to the exposure to equity price risk at the date of balance sheet.
If the equity price changes by 1%, the other comprehensive income in 2022 and 2021 will increase and decrease NT$54,000 and NT$86,000 respectively due to changes in fair value of financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. The maximum credit risk exposure due to the financial loss arising from the counterparty not performing its obligation and the Group's financial guarantee primarily results from:
-
The carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.
-
ii) The Group has given financial guarantee and not taken the maximum amount to be paid into consideration.
The Group's credit risk is mainly resulted from its five largest customers. As of December 31, 2022, and 2021, the aforementioned customers are accounted for 48% and 52% of accounts receivable and contract assets, respectively.
3) Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, the management of the Group monitors the utilization of borrowings and ensures compliance with loan conditions.
- 50 -
