CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2024 AND 2023
For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Merry Electronics Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Merry Electronics Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other matter section), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, 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, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s 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. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the
~2~
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 Group’s 2024 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s 2024 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:
Cut-off on sales revenue from distribution warehouse
Description
Refer to Note 4(31) for accounting policy on revenue recognition.
The Group recognizes revenue upon delivery or pick-up of goods (the transfer of control of ownership) by customers at warehouses. Warehouse sales revenue constitutes 30% of total operating revenue for the year ended December 31, 2024. The Group’s revenue recognition is based on inventory movement records of warehouses based on the reports provided by warehouse custodians or bill of lading reports recorded on network platform. As the warehouses are located in various locations and there are numerous custodians, the frequency and contents of statements provided by custodians vary, the process of revenue recognition contains numerous manual procedures, which would potentially result in inaccurate timing of revenue recognition and the discrepancy between physical inventory quantities in the warehouses and quantities per accounting records. Thus, we determine the cut-off on sales revenue from distribution warehouses a key audit matter.
~3~
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in relation to the above key audit matter:
-
A. Understood, evaluated and verified the Group’s procedures for warehouse sales revenue and internal control, including:
-
(a) Interviewing the staff of the sales revenue process from distribution warehouse, and confirming the consistency by comparing interview results with the process of warehouse sales revenue recognition obtained.
-
(b) Verifying the internal control of warehouse distribution (checked the terms of transaction / timing of ownership transfer and dates of supporting documents and verifying transactions recognized in the appropriate period by reconciling the quantities of supporting documents with invoices) to confirm the accuracy of the timing of revenue recognition.
-
B. Performed cut-off procedures on sales revenue from distribution warehouses recognized during a specific period before and after the period-end, including verifying delivery schedule of distribution warehouses and ensuring the movements of inventories correctly contained in the statements.
-
C. Performed physical inventory count observation or confirmed the inventory quantities with warehouse custodian and agreed the results to accounting records.
Valuation of inventories
Description
Refer to Note 4(13) for accounting policies on inventory valuation, Note 5(1) for significant accounting estimates and assumptions related to inventory valuation, and Note 6(6) for details of allowance for inventory valuation losses. As of December 31, 2024, the balances of inventories and allowance for inventory valuation losses were NT$5,072,549 thousand and NT$213,564 thousand, respectively.
The Group has a high risk of incurring inventory valuation loss or obsolescence due to fluctuations in market demand and rapidly evolving technology. Further, the measurement of net realizable value of inventories involves judgment resulting in a high degree of
~4~
estimation uncertainty. Thus, we determine the allowance for inventory valuation loss a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in relation to the above key audit matter:
-
A. Understood and assessed the reasonableness of the subsequent inventory valuation and the provision for loss on obsolete and slow-moving inventory.
-
B. Assessed the annual plan of the physical inventory count and attended the annual inventory count; evaluated the effectiveness of the procedures used to identify and control obsolete inventories.
-
C. Obtained inventory aging report and verified dates of movements with supporting documents and ensured the accuracy of inventory aging classification and its consistency with the policies.
-
D. Obtained the net realizable value of each kind of inventory and checked whether the applied calculation logic was in agreement with all inventories, tested the supporting documents related to the estimation basis for net realizable value of inventories including verifying the supporting documents of sales and purchase prices, as well as recalculating and assessing the reasonableness of allowance for inventory valuation losses.
Other matter - audits of other independent auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for under the equity method that are included in the consolidated financial statements and disclosures in Note 13. Those financial statements were audited by other independent auditors, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on reports of the other independent auditors. The balance of these investments accounted for under equity method amounted to NT$559,364 thousand and NT$480,811 thousand, constituting 1.43% and 1.47% of total assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively, and the comprehensive income or loss of associates accounted for using equity method was NT$94,598 thousand and (NT$5,001) thousand, constituting 3.27% and (0. 40%) of total comprehensive income
~5~
for the years then ended.
Other matter - parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unmodified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Merry Electronics Co., Ltd. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023.
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 International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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 the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
~6~
Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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:
-
A. 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.
-
B. 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.
-
C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
D. 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
~7~
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. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
E. 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.
-
F. Obtain sufficient 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.
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.
~8~
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 of the current period 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 MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
~18~
(1) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC[®] Interpretations, and SIC[®] Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
(2) Basis of preparation
-
A. Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
-
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
-
(b) Financial assets and liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income measured at fair value.
-
(c) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.
-
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Basis of consolidation
-
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
-
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
-
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.
~19~
-
(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.
-
(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

(4) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
~23~
-
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise,
-
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.
-
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
-
(d) All other foreign exchange gains and losses based on the nature of those transactions are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘Other gains and losses’.
-
B. Translation of foreign operations
-
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities, associates and joint arrangements that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
-
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
-
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
-
-
(b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
-
(c) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing exchange rates at the balance sheet date.
~24~
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
-
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:

-
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
-
(c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

-
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;
-
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
-
(c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
-
(d) Liabilities that does not have the right to defer the repayment for at least twelve months beyond the reporting period.
-
-
(6) Cash equivalents
-
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
(7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognizes the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognizes the gain or loss in profit or loss.
-
D. The Group recognizes the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(8) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
-
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognize changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
~25~
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:
-
The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognized as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
-
(9) Financial assets at amortized cost
-
A. Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:
-
(a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows. (b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
-
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
-
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.
-
D. The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(10) Accounts and notes receivable
-
A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
-
B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(11) Impairment of financial assets
-
For financial assets at amortized cost at each reporting date, the Group recognizes the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognizes the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognizes the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
-
(12) Derecognition of financial assets
-
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
-
A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
-
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
~26~
-
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.
-
(13) Inventories
-
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. 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.
-
(14) Joint operation and investment accounted for using equity method joint ventures Investment of joint arrangements are classified as joint operations or joint ventures based on its contractual rights and obligations.
-
A. Joint operation
For the interest in a joint operation, the Group recognizes direct interest in (and other shares of) the joint operation’s assets, liabilities, revenue and expense which are included in the financial statements.
-
B. Investment accounted for using equity method – joint ventures
- The Group accounts for its interest in a joint venture using equity method. Unrealized profits and losses arising from the transactions between the Group and its joint venture are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the joint venture. However, when the transaction provides evidence of a reduction in the net realizable value of current assets or an impairment loss, all such losses shall be recognized immediately. When the Group’s share of losses in a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in the joint venture together with any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the joint venture.
-
(15) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
-
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
~27~
- D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings, structures and equipment 5 ~ 60 years Machinery and equipment 2 ~ 12 years Transportation equipment 5 ~ 12 years Office equipment 3 ~ 10 years Others 1 ~ 10 years
-
(16) Leasing arrangements (lessee)
-right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities -
A. Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of low value assets, lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
-
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate.
- Lease payments are comprised of the fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable. The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortized cost using the interest method and recognizes interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
-
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following: (a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;
-
(b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date; and
-
(c) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.
-
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
-
-
D. For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the lessee shall decrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease and recognize the difference between remeasured lease liability in profit or loss.
~28~
(17) Intangible assets
-
A. Computer software
- Computer software is stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 1 to 10 years.
-
B. Goodwill
- Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
-
C. Intangible assets, mainly patent rights, trademark rights and business rights, are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3 ~ 10 years.
-
(18) Impairment of non-financial assets
-
A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognized.
-
B. The recoverable amounts of goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and intangible assets that have not yet been available for use are evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognized in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the following years.
-
C. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that is/are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
-
(19) Borrowings
-
Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
~29~
(20) Notes and accounts payable
-
A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.
-
B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(21) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition:
-
(a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
-
(b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
-
(c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management policy.
-
-
B. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.
-
(22) Convertible bonds payable
-
A. Convertible bonds issued by the Group contain conversion options (that is, the bondholders have the right to convert the bonds into the Group’s common shares by exchanging a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of common shares), call options and put options. The Group classifies the bonds payable upon issuance as a financial asset, a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the contract terms. They are accounted for as follows:
-
(a) The embedded call options and put options are recognized initially at net fair value as ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’. They are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value on each balance sheet date; the gain or loss is recognized as ‘gain or loss on valuation of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’.
-
(b) The host contracts of bonds are initially recognized at fair value. Any difference between the initial recognition and the redemption value is accounted for as the premium or discount on bonds payable and subsequently is amortized in profit or loss as an adjustment to
‘finance costs’over the period of circulation using the effective interest method. -
(c) The embedded conversion options which meet the definition of an equity instrument are initially recognized in ‘capital surplus—share options’ at the residual amount of total issue price less the amount of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and bonds payable as stated above. Conversion options are not subsequently remeasured.
-
(d) Any transaction costs directly attributable to the issuance are allocated to each liability or equity component in proportion to the initial carrying amount of each abovementioned item.
-
~30~
- (e) When bondholders exercise conversion options, the liability component of the bonds (including bonds payable and ‘financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss’) shall be remeasured on the conversion date. The issuance cost of converted common shares is the total book value of the abovementioned liability component and ‘capital surplus—share options’.
(23) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.
-
(24) Non-hedging and embedded derivatives
-
Non-hedging derivatives are initially recognized at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and recorded as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently remeasured at fair value and the gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss.
-
(25) Provisions
Provisions (including warranties) are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
-
(26) Employee benefits
-
A. 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 expense in that period when the employees render service.
-
B. Pensions
-
(a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
-
(b) Defined benefit plans
-
i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is
~31~
calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Group uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.
- ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
-
C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
- Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognized as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is paid by shares, the Company calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
-
(27) Employee share based payment
-
A. For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognized is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
-
B. Restricted stocks:
-
(a) Restricted stocks issued to employees are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period.
-
(b) For restricted stocks where those stocks do not restrict distribution of dividends to employees and employees are not required to return the dividends received if they resign during the vesting period, the Group recognizes the fair value of the dividends received by the employees who are expected to resign during the vesting period as compensation cost at the date of dividends declared.
-
~32~
- (c) For restricted stocks where employees have to pay to acquire those stocks, if employees resign during the vesting period, they must return the stocks to the Group and the Group must refund their payments on the stocks, the Group recognizes the payments from the employees who are expected to resign during the vesting period as liabilities at the grant date, and recognizes the payments from the employees who are expected to be eventually vested with the stocks in ’capital surplus – others’.
-
(28) Income tax
-
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.
-
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
-
C. Deferred tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.
-
D. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred tax assets are reassessed.
-
E. A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilized.
~33~
(29) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(30) Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
(31) Revenue recognition
Sales of goods
-
A. The Group manufactures and sells radio apparatus, communication devices, consumer electronics as well as electronic parts and components. Sales are recognized when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the wholesaler, the wholesaler has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the wholesaler’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the wholesaler, and either the wholesaler has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
-
B. The furniture is often sold with volume discounts based on aggregate sales over a 12-month period. Revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated sales discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the sales discounts and allowances, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The estimation is subject to an assessment at each reporting date. A refund liability is recognized for expected sales discounts and allowances payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. The sales usually are made with a credit term of 30~120 days. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods or service and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.
-
C. A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
~34~
(32) Government grants
Government grants are recognized at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants related to property, plant and equipment are recognized as non-current liabilities and are amortized to profit or loss over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method.
(33) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The Group’s chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
(1) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
- A. Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group must determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value. Such evaluation of inventories might have material changes.
As of December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of inventories was $4,858,985 thousand.

Future mortality rate was estimated based on the 6th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table.
Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:

The sensitivity analysis above is based on one assumption which changed while the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same.
The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous period.

(20) Retained earnings
-
A. Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the current year’s earnings, after deduction of mandatory income tax, shall first be used to offset prior years’ operating losses and then 10% of the remaining amount shall be set aside as legal reserve until the legal reserve equals the paid-in capital. After the provision or reversal of special reserve, the appropriation of the remaining earnings along with the unappropriated earnings of prior year shall be proposed by the Board of Directors and approved by the shareholders. The Board of Directors may, based on financial, business and operating perspectives, propose a distribution of earnings within an amount at least 30% of the new distributable earnings and not more than 80% of the accumulated distributable earnings for the current period. The dividends shall be preferably distributed in the form of cash, and can be appropriated in the shares. The ratio of cash dividends shall account for at least 30% of the total dividends distributed. All or partial of dividend and bonus that are distributed in the form of cash will be resolved and reported to the shareholders if more than 2/3 of the directors attend the Board of Directors’ meeting and more than 1/2 of the directors present at the meeting have agreed.
-

G. The current tax expense related to Pillar Two income taxes that the Group recognised for the year ended December 31, 2024 was $83,139 thousand.
-
H. The Group’s exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from the Pillar Two legislation is as follows:
The Group is within the scope of the Pillar Two model rules published by the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Since Pillar Two legislation was enacted in Hong Kong and Thailand, the jurisdiction in which the Group’s subsidiaries are incorporated,
~77~
and will come into effect from January 1, 2025, the Group has no related current tax exposure as of December 31, 2024.
Under the Pillar Two legislation, the Group is liable to pay a top-up tax for the difference between its GloBE effective tax rate per jurisdiction and the 15% minimum rate. The Group’s subsidiaries, MEST, MTHK and METC, are incorporated in Hong Kong, Hong Kong and Thailand, respectively. The average effective tax rate is lower than 15%, and the Group is exposed to Pillar Two income taxes under the Group’s assessment. And, the Group is in the process of assessing its exposure to the Pillar Two legislation for when it comes into effect. For Hong Kong and Thailand jurisdiction, the average effective tax rate calculated based on accounting profit is 0%, 0% and 7.83%, respectively, the income tax expense is $0, $0 and $20,927 thousand, respectively, and accounting profit is $278,561 thousand, $224,429 thousand and $267,412, respectively, constituting 9%, 7% and 8% of the Group’s accounting profit, for the year ended December 31, 2024. However, due to the complexities in applying the legislation and calculating GloBE income as well as the impact of specific adjustments envisaged in the Pillar Two legislation which give rise to different effective tax rates compared to those calculated in accordance with IAS 12, the quantitative impact of the enacted or substantively enacted legislation is not yet reasonably estimable. The Group is currently engaged with tax specialists to assist it with applying the legislation.

(3) Fair value information
- A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks, and derivative instruments with quoted market prices is included in Level 1.
~94~
-
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Group’s investment in certain derivative instruments and equity instruments is included in Level 2.
-
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in certain derivative instruments, equity investment without active market and is included in Level 3.
-
B. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
-
(1) Except for those listed in the table below, financial instruments not measured at fair value include the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, long-term and short-term bank borrowings, accounts payable and other payables are approximate to their fair values.

D. The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:
-
i. The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
Listed shares Open-end fund Closing price at Net asset value at Market quoted price evaluation date evaluation date
-
ii. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods.
-
iii. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.
~96~
-
vi. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs. In accordance with the Group’s management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
