Independent Auditors’ Report
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Mosel Vitelic Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Mosel Vitelic Inc. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including 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, 2023 and 2022, 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 Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
~5~
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 ended December 31, 2023. 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.
Key audit matters for the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are stated as follows:
Recognition of foundry service income
Description
Please refer to Note 4(27) of the consolidated financial statements for detailed accounting policies on foundry service revenue recognition. Please refer to Note 6(21) of the consolidated financial statements for details of operating revenue.
For the foundry service revenue of Mosel Vitelic Inc. (the “Company”), the revenue is recognized over time. Since the completion level is determined based on the actual cost
incurred over the estimated total cost, it involves estimation uncertainly. As the foundry service revenue is considered to have material impact on the financial statements, we are of the opinion that the foundry service revenue of the Company shall be listed as a key audit matter for the current year.
Responding Audit Procedures
The responding audit procedures for the recognition of foundry service income adopted by us are as follows:
-
Interviewed with the management to understand and assess relevant accounting policies on revenue recognition, and tested relevant internal control design and implementation status.
-
According to the understanding of the Company’s model, assessed the reasonableness of its revenue recognition based on the time when its foundry service is provided.
-
Understood relevant procedures adopted by the Company for the estimated total cost summarization and assessed the reasonableness of completion percentage estimation.
-
Randomly inspected the sales price and contract performance obligation of original sales orders, in order to verify the accuracy of service revenue recognition.
~6~
Other Matters – Parent Company Only Financial Statements
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Mosel Vitelic Inc. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
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 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 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.
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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of the consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China,
~7~
we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the 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.
-
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 ability of the Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying 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 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
~8~
significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with statements that we have complied with relevant independence declaration specified in the Code of Ethics for Professional Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have also communicated with governance on all relationships and other matters (including relevant protective measures) that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Ya-Hui Cheng and Shu-Chien Pai.

IV. Summary of Significant 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.
(I) Statement of Compliance
These consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the ‘Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers’, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations of IFRS (IFRIC), and Interpretations of IAS (SIC) (collectively referred to as the “IFRSs”) endorsed and announced by the FSC.
~17~
(II) Basis of Preparation
-
Except for the following significant accounts, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
-
(1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
-
(2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
(3) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.
-
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with the IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(III)Basis of Consolidation
-
Principles for preparing the consolidated financial statements:
-
(1) All subsidiaries are included in the Group's consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries refer to all 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 in the financial statements begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
-
(2) 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.
-
(3) The composition portion of the profit/loss and other comprehensive income/loss are attributed to the owners and non-controlling interests of the parent company; the total comprehensive income/loss is also attributed to the owners and non-controlling interests of the parent company, and the same is true even when the non-controlling interests consequently become deficit balance.
-
(4) Changes in the Company's ownership interest in a subsidiary that does not result in the Company’s losing control (and non-controlling equity transaction) of the subsidiary are equity transactions, and it is also considered a transaction between owners. The Company recognizes directly in equity any difference between the adjusted amount of non-controlling equity and the fair value of the consideration paid or received.
-
(5) 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 the book value is recognized in profit or loss of the current period. 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.

(IV)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 Group’s functional currency.
Foreign currency translation and balances
-
(1) Foreign currency derived from transactions was translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rate prevailing on the measurement date or the trade date, with the resulting exchange difference recognized as gain or loss.
-
(2) The balance of monetary assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currency is adjusted by the exchange rate prevailing at the balance sheet date, with the resulting differences recognized as gain or loss.
-
(3) Non-monetary assets or liabilities denominated in foreign currency are adjusted by the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, with the resulting difference recognized in profit or loss if they are measured at fair value through profit or loss, or in other comprehensive income if they are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. If they are not measured at fair value, they are measured by applying the historical exchange rate on the transaction date.
-
(4) 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’.
(V) Classification of Current and Non-current Assets and Liabilities
-
Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
-
(1) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
-
(2) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
(3) Assets that are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
-
(4) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding those that are restricted, or to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.
-
Assets that do not meet the above criteria are classified as non-current assets by the Group.
-
Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities:
~22~
-
(1) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle.
-
(2) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
(3) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
-
(4) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than 12 months after balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its transactions by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
Liabilities that do not meet the above criteria are classified as non-current liabilities by the Group.
(VI)Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents are highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that fit the said definition and are intended to meet short-term operating cash commitments are classified as cash equivalents.
(VII)Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
-
Financial assets not measured at cost after amortization or not measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
The Group adopts the trade date accounting to account for financial assets at fair value through profit or loss that are arm’s length transaction s .
-
At initial recognition, the Group measures financial assets at fair value and recognizes relevant transaction costs as profit or loss, and subsequently, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognize its gain or loss as profit or loss.
-
The Group recognizes dividend revenue in profit or loss when (a) the Group’s right to the dividends is established; (b) the economic benefits associated with dividends are probable to flow to the Group; and (c) such dividends can be reliably measured.
(VIII)Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
-
It means the Company made an irrevocable election upon initial recognition to recognize the fair value changes in equity instruments not held for trading at other comprehensive income.
-
The Group uses trade date accounting to account for financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income that are arm’s length transactions.
-
They are measured initially at the fair value plus transaction costs and subsequently at fair value. If they are equity instruments, their fair value changes are recognized in other comprehensive income; upon derecognition, the accumulated gains or losses in other comprehensive income are not transferred to profit or loss, but to retained earnings. The Group recognizes dividend revenue in profit or loss when (a) the Group’s right to the dividends is established; (b) the economic benefits associated with dividends are probable to flow to the Group; and (c) such dividends can be reliably measured.
(IX)Financial assets at amortized cost
-
Financial assets that simultaneously satisfy the following criteria are classified in this category:
-
(1) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
(2) The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified date to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
-
On a regular way purchase or sale basis, the Group recognizes or derecognizes financial
~23~
assets at amortized cost by using settlement date accounting.
-
During the initial recognition the Group calculated the transaction cost measurement at fair value, and subsequently adopted the effective interest rate method to recognize the interest revenue according to the amortization procedure during the circulation period, and to recognize the impairment loss. In addition, during the derecognition, the gain or loss was recognized in the income or loss.
-
The Group recognizes its time deposits not qualified as cash equivalents at the investment amount because they are held for a short period of time and so have insignificant discount effect.
-
The Group reclassified bank deposits to financial assets at amortized cost since bank deposits are not in conformity with the definition of cash and cash equivalents.
(X) Accounts receivables and notes receivables
-
Accounts receivable and notes receivable denote that the Group has unconditional right to the consideration, in the form of receivables or notes, for the goods and services transferred.
-
The Group measures short-term accounts receivable and notes receivables that do not bear an interest at the invoice value because they have insignificant discount effect.
(XI)Impairment of financial assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Group considers financial assets at amortized cost and lease payments receivable, including significant financial components, and takes into consideration all reasonable and supporting information (including the forward-looking information). For financial assets of which the credit risk does not significantly increase since initial recognition, the Group recognizes the impairment provision equal to 12-month expected credit losses; for financial assets of which the credit risk significantly increases since initial recognition, the Company recognizes the impairment provision equal to the lifetime expected credit loss; for accounts receivables that do not contain significant financial components, the Group recognizes an allowance equal to lifetime expected credit losses.
(XII)Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expire.
(XIII)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 process comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs, and related manufacturing expenses, excluding 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 cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.
(XIV)Investment accounted for using equity method - affiliates
-
An affiliate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence but without control power, and it generally refers to an entity that the Group directly or indirectly holds more than 20% of shares of voting rights. The Group uses the equity method to account for its investments in affiliates, and costs are recognized during the acquisition thereof.
-
The Group’s share of its affiliates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses of an affiliate
~24~
equals or exceeds its interest in that affiliate (which includes any other unsecured accounts receivable), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses; unless that the Group has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that affiliate.
-
When an affiliate is subject to equity change not for profit or loss or other comprehensive income and when the shareholding percentage of the affiliate held by the Group is not affected, the Group then recognizes all of the equity change as the “capital reserve” according to the shareholding percentage.
-
The unrealized profit or loss generated from the transactions between the Group and an affiliate has been eliminated according to the equity ratio of the affiliate. Unless there is evidence indicating that the asset transferred in such transaction has an impairment, the unrealized loss is also eliminated. The accounting policies off affiliates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
When the Group disposes an associate, if the Group loses its significant influence on the associate, then for all of the amounts related to the associate previously recognized in other comprehensive income, its accounting handling basis is identical to the disposal of relevant assets or liabilities directly, i.e. such as the profit or loss recognized in the other comprehensive income, it is re-classified as profit or loss during the disposal of relevant assets or liabilities, then when the Group losses its significant influence on the associate, such profit or loss shall be re-classified as profit or loss from equity. If the Company still has significant influence on the associate, then the amount previously recognized in the other comprehensive income is transferred out proportionally according to the aforementioned method.
(XV)Property, plant and equipment
-
Property, plant, and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.
-
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 repair and maintenance is recognized in profit or loss when accrued.
-
Property, plant, and equipment are subsequently measured at cost. 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. Property, plant, and equipment is depreciated individually if they contain any significant components.
-
The assets’ residual values, useful lives, and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at the end of the reporting year. 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 2~56 years Machinery and equipment 2~20 years
~25~
| Office equipment | 2~20 years |
|---|---|
| Transportation equipment | 6 years |
| Other equipment | 2~21 years |
(XVI)Lease transactions of a lessee - right-of-use assets/lease liabilities
-
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the date when they are available for the Group’s use. Low-value asset and short-term leases are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease period.
-
The Group measures its lease liability at commencement date by discounting future lease payments using its incremental borrowing interest rate, and lease payments refer to fixed payment amount.
Lease payments that are measured in subsequent periods using the effective interest rate method and amortized over the lease term. When a change in lease payments occurs not due to contract modification, lease liability will be remeasured, with such remeasurements adjusted to right-of-use assets.
-
Right-of-use assets are recognized at costs at the inception of the lease. Cost includes:
-
(1) The initial lease liability measured;
-
(2) Lease payments made at the inception of the lease;
Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at costs. Depreciation of right-of-use assets is recognized at the earlier of the end of the useful life and the end of the lease term. When a lease liability is remeasured, the Company adjusts the right-of-use asset for any remeasurements.
(XVII)Intangible assets
Intangible assets refer to computer software measured at the acquisition cost and amortized using the straight-line method over its estimated useful life, which is 1-5 years.
(XVIII)Impairment of financial assets
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 an asset’s fair value less costs of disposition or its value in use, whichever is higher. 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.
(XIX)Accounts and notes payables
-
Accounts and notes payables are the debt incurred by credit purchase of raw materials, goods, or services and the notes payables incurred by operating and non-operating activities.
-
The Group measures short-term accounts and notes payables without bearing interest at initial invoice amount since the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(XX)Derecognition of financial liabilities
- A financial liability is derecognized by the Group when the obligation specified in the
~26~
contract is either discharged, canceled or expires.
- The Group performs re-negotiation or modification on the cash flows of current terms of financial liabilities. When there is no material difference (reaching 10%), the re-negotiated or modified cash flows is used to calculate the total carrying amount of the financial liabilities based on the original effective interest rate along with the difference with the derecognized financial liabilities original recognized, such that the modified gain or loss is recognized as profit or loss.
(XXI) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
When there are legal executable rights to offset the financial asset and liability amount recognized, and settlement is intended to be made based on the net amount or realizing assets and settlement at the same time, the financial assets and liabilities can be offset with each other, and the net amount can be indicated on the balance sheets.
(XXII) Employee benefits
- 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.
-
Pension
-
(1) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund from the plan or a reduction in future contributions to the plan.
-
(2) Defined benefit plans
-
A. 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 Company in current period or prior period. The liability recognized in the balance sheets 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 defined benefit net obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bonds at the balance sheet date of a currency and term consistent with the currency and term of the employment benefit obligations.
-
B. 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.
-
-
Employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors
-
Employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligations 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.
~27~
- (XXIII) Employees share based payments
-
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity commodities granted at the grant date and are recognized as compensation costs over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity commodities granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-market 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. And ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognized is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
-
Employee restricted shares:
-
(1) The fair value of equity commodities granted at the grant date is used as the basis for the recognition of compensation costs over the vesting period.
-
(2) For the unrestricted right for participation in the dividend distribution, employees leaving the job during the vesting period shall return the dividends previously received. Upon the recovery of such dividends, the Company credits the retained earnings, legal reserve or capital surplus of debited on the original dividend announcement date.
-
(3) Employees are not required to make payment for the new restricted employee shares acquired; however, for employees leaving the job during the vesting period, the Company will recover such shares from such employees without compensation.
-
(4) Employees are required to make payment for the new restricted employee shares acquired; however, for employees leaving the job during the vesting period, the employees need to return the shares and the Company will refund the price. On the grant date, the payment made by the employees who is expected to resign during the vested period should be recognized as a liability, and the portion of the payment made by the employees that is expected to eventually be acquired is recognized as "capital reserve – other ".
(XXIV) Income tax
-
Income tax expense comprises current tax and deferred tax. Income 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 these cases, the income tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.
-
The current income tax charge is calculated by applying the taxable income to the tax rate specified in the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Group operates. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. Where appropriate, management also estimates income tax liabilities 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 shareholders resolve to retain the earnings in a shareholders’ meeting of the following year.
-
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheets liability method, upon temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their

carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheets. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction (excluding corporate merger and acquisition) that, at the time of the transaction, affects neither accounting nor taxable profit (loss). Deferred income 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.
- Deferred income 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 income tax assets are reassessed.
(XXV) Share capital
-
Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs after income tax effect directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are recognized in equity as a deduction from the proceeds.
-
When the Company repurchased shares previously issued, the consideration paid includes any directly attributable additional costs after tax effect is recognized as a deduction of the shareholders’ equity. During the subsequent reissuance of repurchased shares, any directly attributable additional costs after income tax effect are deducted from the consideration received, and the difference from the carrying value is then recognized as an adjustment of shareholders’ equity.
(XXVI) Dividends distribution
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities. Dividends distributed are recognized as stock dividends to be distributed and are recognized as common stocks on the new stock issuance base date.
(XXVII)Revenue recognition
1. Sale of goods
-
(1) The Group manufactures and sells integrated circuits and related products of components and systems. The sales revenue is recognized when the control of products is transferred to clients, i.e. when products are delivered to clients, and customers then have the discretion on the product sales subject and price, and the Group has no further obligation not performed that may impact clients accepting the products. When goods are transported to the designated location, the obsolete and impairment risks have been transferred to the customer, and the customer also accepts goods according to the sales contract, or when there is objective evidence proofing that all acceptable standards have been satisfied, which occurs when the goods are delivered to the customer.
-
(2) Product sales revenue is recognized with the contract price, and the recognized revenue amount is limited to the position that is unlikely to have material reversal in the future, and estimation is updated during each balance sheet date. The payment collection terms for product sales transactions are typically due 30~75
~29~
days after the shipping date. Since the goods or services are promised to be transferred to customers at the time when the payments are made by customers have not exceeded one year, consequently, the Group has not adjusted the transaction price to reflect the currency time value.
-
(3) A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional for the Group because only the passage of time is required before payment is due.
-
Foundry service
-
(1) The Group provides foundry related services. Service revenue is recognized as revenue when service is provided to the customer during the financial report period. The revenue of fixed price contract is recognized based on the ratio of the service actually provided by the balance sheet date over the overall services required to be provided, and the service completion ratio is determined based on the cost actually incurred over the total estimated cost. Customer pay contract price according to the payment schedule negotiated. When the service provided by the Group exceeds the payable amount of the customer, it is recognized as contract asset. If the payable amount of the customer exceeds the service actually provided by the Group, it is recognized as contract liability.
-
(2) The Group makes correction on the estimates of the revenue, cost and completion level according to the actual condition. Any increase or decrease of estimated revenue or cost due to estimation change is reflected in the profit or loss when the cause of correction is known by the management.
(XXVIII)Operating segments
The information on operating segments is reported in a manner consistent with the way the internal management report is provided to management. The key operating decision makers are responsible for allocating resources to operating segments and evaluate their performance.
V. Significant Accounting Assumptions and Judgments, and Key Sources of Estimation Uncertainty
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgments in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. The significant accounting estimates and assumptions being made may deviate from the actual outcomes and will be consistently measured and adjusted in accordance with historical experience and other factors. Such estimates and assumptions may lead to the risk of significant adjustments being made to the carrying amount of the assets and liabilities on the balance sheets. Significant accounting judgments and the uncertainty in accounting estimates and assumptions are stated below:
- (I) Significant Judgments in Applying Accounting Policies
None.
(II) Significant Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
- Impairment estimation of tangible assets
During the process of asset impairment assessment, the Group shall rely on subjective judgment to determine the useful life of the independent cash flow assets and possible revenue and expense in the future for certain asset groups based on the operating model of
~30~
assets and industrial characteristics. Any change in the estimation due to the changes of economic situation or the Group’s strategies may result in significant impairment in the future.
As of December 31, 2023, the book value of the Group’s property, plant and equipment after impairment loss recognized was NT$723,743.
- Recognition of foundry service revenue
The foundry service revenue is recognized progressively along with the time, and the estimation of completion level is calculated based on the ratio of the actual cost incurred over the total estimated cost summarized by the Group, and the Group periodically reviews the estimation reasonableness.

- With regard to the polycrystalline silicon wafer purchase and sale contract “Original Contract” and “Supplementary Agreement” between the Company and Jiangxi LDK Solar High-Tech Co., Ltd. (referred to as “LDK”), since both parties failed to reach a consensus on the unit price of polycrystalline silicon wafer, according to the terms and conditions of the “Original Contract”, the Company informed LDK that the Contract shall be terminated automatically on April 1, 2010 and requested LDK to return the prepayment of US$28,611 thousand (reclassified as long-term accounts receivable). With regard to the dispute over the “Original Contract” and “Supplementary Agreement”, LDK filed an arbitration proceeding with the Hong Kong International Arbitration Centre. The arbitration court was established on May 27, 2011 and made a ruling with the issuance of a final decision on June 11, 2013. For the claim filed by the Company against LDK and the claim filed by LDK against the Company, each party received one favorable judgment and one unfavorable judgment respectively. According to the result of the arbitration, the Company had not breached the “Original Contract” for the unpurchased remaining quantity; however, the Company should indemnify the loss for the unpurchased remaining quantity according to the “Supplementary Agreement” should pay the default fine for not providing IC wafer recovery material according to the “Original Contract” and should return the material recovery amount previously paid by LDK. The total amount of these three items was US$13,532 thousand, and the Company has recognized such amount under the other losses. In addition, regarding the payable amount of US$2,836 thousand to LDK originally credited under accounts payable and the aforementioned total amount of the three items of US$13,532 of the Company, after offsetting with the long-term accounts receivable of US$28,611 thousand of the Company from LDK, the prepayment required to be returned by LDK to the Company was US$12,243 thousand. Accordingly, for this case, the Company has retained an attorney to file a petition for compulsory execution with the Intermediate People's Court of Xinyu Municipality, Jiangxi Province, the People's Republic of China, and the Court has accepted the case and informed LDC to fulfill the obligation specified in the content of the final decision. On December 18, 2017, LDK’ reorganizer informed the Company to receive the credit amount of
~39~
RMB 2,093 thousand, and the Company may choose to receive payment in installments or in the form of shares. Based on the consideration of the timing of recovery such amount and the operational status of LDK, the Company has chosen the method of payment in the form of shares for LDK’s debt. However, up to the present day, the Company has not received further notice from LDK, and LDK still refuses to assist the Company to understand relevant matters, such that the Company has not yet received the debt repayment from LDK. In addition to the legal action taken in China, the Company has also filed compulsory execution proceeding on the assets of LDK or creditor’s right in order to protect the interest of the Company. Legal doubts related to compensation are tried by the court and presently, the appeal of the judgment of the first instance of the court is under review by the supreme court in Taiwan.
- After the Company evaluates and considers the possibility of recovering the long-term accounts receivable, the relevant full amount has been recognized as an impairment loss in 2017.

With regard to the utilization of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earnings are less than the aforementioned rates, the government shall make payment for the deficit after being authorized by the competent authority. The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan asset fair value in accordance with IAS 19 Paragraph 142.

Price risk
-
A. The Group is exposed to equity instrument price risk because of the financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income held. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.
-
B. The Group mainly invests in equity instruments issued by a domestic or foreign company. The price of such equity instruments can be affected by changes in future value of their investment targets. If the prices of these equity instruments had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held constant, profit or loss for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 would have increased/decreased by NT$1,691 and NT$2,934 respectively, as a result of gains or losses classified as equity investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
(2) Credit risk
-
A. The Group’s credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or transaction counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. Such risk is mainly due to the counterparties cannot repay the accounts payable according to the payment terms, and it is classified as the contract cash flows at amortized cost.
-
B. The Group establishes a framework for managing credit risks from a group's perspective. For corresponding banks and financial institutions, the Company set up to only accept transaction counterparties receiving the good credit raking independently. As the internal credit approval policy stipulates, an operating entity within the Group shall manage and analyze the credit risk of a new client before proposing terms and conditions pertaining to payments and delivery of goods. Internal risk control is achieved by evaluating a client’s credit quality against the client’s financial position, credit records, and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal rating of the Group, and the utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored.
-
C. Credit risk impairment loss evaluation of financial assets measured at amortized cost:
-
a. The Group adopts IFRS 9 to provide preliminary assumption, and when the payment specified according to the contract term has exceeded 90 days, breach of contract is deemed to have occurred.
-
b. The Group applies the following presumption of IFRS 9 and deems that the credit risk of financial assets has significantly increased after initial recognition when the receivables obliged by the contractual terms are 30 days past due.
-
c. The Group has included future prospective considerations to adjust the historical and actual information, and also considers the credit rating of the issuance bank in order to estimate the expected credit loss.
-
d. The financial assets measured at amortized cost held by the Group refer to time deposits and restricted time deposits at banks, and the credit ratings of such banks are good without the occurrence of overdue in the past. In addition, based on the consideration that there is no material change to the overall
-
~62~
economic environment, the probability of credit loss risk is evaluated to be extremely low, such that it has no material impact on the amount of the financial statements.
-
D. Credit risk impairment loss evaluation of accounts receivable:
-
a. The Group classifies accounts receivable due from clients by the characteristics of their ratings, and adopts the simplified approach that measures expected credit losses based on the preparation matrix.
-
b. By including the forward-looking consideration, the Group adjusts the expected credit loss rate that was established based on historical or present information, so as to estimate loss ratio method of the loss allowance for the accounts receivable, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, as follows:
| December 31, 2023 Expected loss ratio Total book value Loss allowance December 31, 2022 Expected loss ratio Total book value Loss allowance |
Not past due 0% $195,476 $ - Not past due 0% $310,476 $ - |

(3) Liquidity risk
-
A. Cash flow forecasting is done by each operating entity; the Financial Department of the Group is responsible only for summarizing the results. The financial department of the Group monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure that it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times, in order to prevent the Group from breaching relevant borrowing limits or terms.
-

(III) Information on fair value
- Below are the definitions assigned to each level of valuation technique used to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial assets.
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 takes place with sufficient frequency and volumes to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed shares is included in Level 1.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
- Financial instruments not measured at fair values
The carrying amounts of the cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized cost, accounts receivable, other receivables, refundable deposits, notes payable, accounts payable and other payables are approximate to the reasonably close values of fair values.
- Financial and non-financial assets measured at fair value are classified by the Group according to the nature, characteristic, risk, and fair value level of the assets and liabilities, and relevant information is stated as follows:
~64~
| December 31, 2023 Assets Recurring fair value Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Unlisted stocks December 31, 2022 Assets Recurring fair value Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Unlisted stocks |

$ | Total 16,911 Total 29,337 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ | $ | $ |
$ |
-
The techniques and assumptions used by the Group to measure fair value are stated as follows:
-
(1) The fair value of other financial instruments of the Group is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured using valuation techniques can be referred to as the current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including those calculated by applying a model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date.
-
(2) Outputs from the valuation models are estimates and valuation techniques may not be able to reflect all relevant factors of the financial and non-financial instruments held by the Group. Consequently, the estimated value of the valuation model is adjusted appropriately according to the additional parameters. 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 in the consolidated balance sheets. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
-
For 2023 and 2022, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
~65~
- The following table shows the change of Level 3 equity instruments for 2023 and 2022.
| January 1 Cash refund from capital reduction Valuation adjustment December 31 |
2023 $ 29,337 ( 6,948) ( 5,478) $ 16,911 |
2022 $ 35,706 ( 3,938) ( 2,431) $ 29,337 |
|---|---|---|
-
Valuation process regarding fair value Level 3 is conducted by the Group’s financial department, which conducts an independent fair value verification though use of independent data source in order to make the valuation results close to market conditions, and to review periodically, thereby ensuring a reasonable valuation result.
-
The significant non-observable input value quantified information and significant non-observable input value change sensitivity analysis for the valuation model used in relation to the Level 3 fair value measurements are as follows:
| Fair value at | Significant | Range | Relationship | ||

- The Group elects to adopt valuation models and valuation parameters under prudential consideration. Nonetheless, this does not preclude the differences arising from adoption of different valuation models or parameters.
