INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
M3 Technology Inc.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of M3 Technology Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as 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 International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope of Review
We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standards on Review Engagements of the Republic of China 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, its consolidated financial performance for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024. in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors’ review report are Chih-Feng Yu and Pi-Yu Chuang.

| At amortized cost | |||
| Gross carrying amount | $ 147,193 | $ 158,082 | $ 150,566 |
The average credit period of sales of goods was 30-60 days, and no interest was charged on trade receivables.
In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that an adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Group's credit risk is significantly reduced.
The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to past default experience of the customer, the customer's current financial position, economic conditions of the industry in which the customer operates and industry outlook. As the Group's historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group's different customer base.
The following table details the loss allowance of trade receivables based on the Group's provision matrix.

The Group’s major financial instruments include time deposits financial assets at amortized cost, notes receivable, trade receivables, other receivables, refundable deposits, notes payable, trade payables, other payables, and lease liabilities. The Group’s financial risk management objectives are to manage the market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk with respect to the Group’s operations. To lower the financial risks, the Group seeks to identify, evaluate, and avoid market uncertainty, to minimize the potential unfavorable impact on the Group due to market volatility.
1) Market risk
The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below) and interest rates (see (b) below).
There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured.
a) Foreign currency risk
The Group have foreign currency denominated sales and purchases, which expose the Group to foreign currency risk.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) at the end of the period are set out in Note 27.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group is mainly exposed to the U.S. dollar.
The following table details the Group’s sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in the New Taiwan dollar (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts its translation at the end of the period for a 1% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates a decrease in pre-tax profit associated with the New Taiwan dollar strengthening 1% against the relevant currency. For a 1% weakening of the New Taiwan dollar against the relevant currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and the balances below would be negative.
| Impact of USD | ||
|---|---|---|
| For the Nine Months Ended September 30 | ||
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Profit or loss* | $ 4,062 | $ 4,566 |
- The result was mainly attributable to the exposure on outstanding U.S. dollar-denominated deposits, financial assets at amortized cost, trade receivables, other receivables, trade payables and other payables, which were not hedged at the end of the reporting period.
b) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate.
- 30 -
The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
| September 30, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | September 30, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Fair value interest rate risk | |||
| Financial assets | $ 1,042,859 | $ 913,607 | $ 804,391 |
| Financial liabilities | $ 3,182 | $ 2,144 | $ 2,835 |
| Cash flow interest rate risk | |||
| Financial assets | $ 231,322 | $ 261,334 | $ 364,817 |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate assets and liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of each asset and liability outstanding at the end of the period was outstanding for the whole year. A fluctuation of 0.25% was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates. If interest rates had been 0.25% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $434 thousand and $684 thousand, respectively.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. At the end of the period, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk, which would cause a financial loss to the Group due to the failure of the counterparty to discharge its obligation, comes from the carrying amounts of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheets.
The Group’s credit risk is mainly concentrated in the Group’s biggest customer. As of September 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, the percentage of total trade receivables from the aforementioned customer was 46%, 58% and 48%, respectively.
3) Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash deemed adequate to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.
a) Liquidity and interest rate risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities
The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturities for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed upon repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed upon repayment dates.
