Independent Auditors’ Report

To Optimax Technology Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the Parent Company Only balance sheets of Optimax Technology Corporation as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, along with the Parent Company Only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the periods from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024, and from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023, as well as the notes to the Parent Company Only financial statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies).

Based on the opinion of our auditor and the audit reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matters section), the Parent Company Only financial statements mentioned above have been prepared in all material respects in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. They are sufficient to express the financial position of Optimax Technology Corporation as of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, as well as the financial performance and cash flows for the periods from January 1, 2024, to December 31, 2024, and from January 1, 2023, to December 31, 2023.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statements Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Auditing Standards. Our responsibility under those standards will be further described in the section titled "The Accountants' Responsibilities in Auditing the Parent Company Only Financial Statements." We have stayed independent from Optimax Technology Corporation as required by The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled other responsibilities as stipulated by the Norm. Based on the audit results of our auditor and the audit reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion

Key Audit Matters

The key audit matters are those matters that, in the auditor's professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the Parent Company Only financial statements of Optimax Technology Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the overall audit of the Parent Company Only financial statements and were considered in forming the audit opinion. The auditor does not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key Audit Matters for the Parent Company Only financial statements of Optimax Technology Corporation. for the year ended December 31, 2024, are as follows:

1. Inventory Valuation

For the accounting policies of inventories, please refer to Note 4 (5) of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements; For the accounting estimates of the inventory evaluation and the description of the uncertainty of the assumptions, please refer to Note 5 of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements; For the description of important accounting items in inventories, please refer to Note 6 (5) of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.

3

The main business item of Optimax Technology Corporation is the manufacture and sales of polarizers. Because the inventory is easily affected by the market demand of the products used and the yield rate of the production process, resulting in sluggish or falling prices, so the inventory evaluation is listed as one of the key audit matters.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:

  • (1) Check the inventory age report and analyze the changes of inventory age in each period.

  • (2) Evaluate the rationality of accounting policies, such as inventory depreciation or sluggish withdrawal policies.

  • (3) Assess whether the valuation of inventories has been in accordance with the company's established accounting policies.

  • (4) Obtain the report of the net realizable value of inventories on the end of the financial reporting period, the selling price of goods or the purchase price used to check the net realizable value, and other data sources, and recalculate the accrued inventory allowance to offset the loss in value to confirm such data. The performance of accounting estimates is consistent with its policies.

  • (5) Understand the process of inventory management, review its annual inventory plan and participate in annual inventory, and check inventory details to evaluate the effectiveness of management in distinguishing and controlling obsolete inventory.

2. Impairment assessment of Property, plant and equipment

For the accounting policy of asset impairment, please refer to Note 4 (10) of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements; For the uncertainty of the accounting estimates and assumptions of the asset impairment assessment, please refer to Note 5 of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements; For the description of important accounting items in Property, plant and equipment, please refer to Note 6 (7) of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.

Optimax Technology Corporation is a highly capitalized industry and is facing the interference of various factors such as the economic environment and industry competition; due to the assessment of impairment of Property, plant and equipment, it is necessary to estimate and discount the future cash flow to estimate the recoverable amount and other processes, which are inherently highly uncertain, so the assessment of impairment of Property, plant and equipment is one of the key audit matters.

Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:

  • (1) Understand the relevant policies and procedures for impairment assessment, and assess the rationality of the management to identify the cash-generating units that may be impaired.

  • (2) Regarding the recoverable amount of the independent assessment report issued by a third party appointed by Optimax Technology Corporation, examine the reasonableness of the relevant assumptions, and assess the qualification and independence of the appraiser.

Other Matters

The financial statements of this associated company have not been audited by our auditor but by another auditor. Therefore, our auditor's opinion on the Parent Company Only financial statements includes the amounts pertaining to the associated company's financial statements accounted for using the equity method, as per the audit report of the other auditor.

4

As of December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of the investment in the associated company, accounted for using the equity method but not audited by our auditor, are NT$36,000 thousand and NT$107,663 thousand, respectively, representing 1% and 3% of total assets, respectively. For the year ended December 31, 2024, and December 31, 2023, our share of the comprehensive loss from the associated company accounted for using the equity method are NT$(71,663) thousand and NT$(12,337) thousand, respectively, representing (21)% and (6)% of total comprehensive income, respectively.

The Management's Responsibility and Governing Body of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

It is the management's responsibility to fairly present the Parent Company Only Financial Statements in conformity with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers," and to maintain internal controls which are necessary for the preparation of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements so as to avoid material misstatements due to fraud or errors therein.

In preparing for the Parent Company Only financial statement, responsibilities of the management also included assessment of the capacity to continue operation, disclosure of related matters and the accounting approaches to be adopted when the Company continues to operate unless the management intends to liquidate or suspend the business of Optimax Technology Corporation if there was not any other option except liquidation or suspension of the Company's business.

The governing bodies of Optimax Technology Corporation (including the Audit Committee) have the responsibility to oversee the process by which the financial statements are prepared.

The Accountants' Responsibilities in Auditing the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the Parent Company Only Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement arising from fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditors' report. "Reasonable assurance" refers to high level of assurance. Nevertheless, our audit, which was carried out in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards, does not guarantee that a material misstatement(s) will be detected in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Parent Company Only Financial Statements.

We have utilized our professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism when exercising auditing work in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards. We also:

1. Identified and evaluated the risk of a material misstatement(s) due to fraud or errors in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements; designed and carried out appropriate countermeasures for the assessed risks; and obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence as the basis for the audit report. The risk of not detecting a significant 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.

2. Acquired necessary understanding of internal controls pertaining to the audit in order to develop audit procedures appropriate under the circumstances. Nevertheless, the purpose of such understanding is not to provide any opinion on the effectiveness of the internal controls of Optimax Technology Corporation.

3. Assess the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by the management level, as well as the reasonableness of their accounting estimates and relevant disclosures.

5

4. Concluded, based on the audit evidence acquired, on the appropriateness of the management's use of the going-concern basis of accounting, and determined whether a material uncertainty exists where events or conditions that might cast significant doubt on the ability of Optimax Technology Corporation to continue as going concerns. If we believe there are events or conditions indicating the existence of a material uncertainty, we are required to remind the users of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements in our audit report of the relevant disclosures therein, or to amend our audit opinion when any inappropriate disclosure was found. Our conclusion is based on the audit evidence acquired as of the date of the audit report. However, future events or conditions may cause Optimax Technology Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern. However, future events or conditions may cause Optimax Technology Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

5. Evaluated the overall presentation, structure, and content of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements (including the related notes), and determined whether the Parent Company Only Financial Statements present related transactions and events fairly.

6. Acquire sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for the financial information of the investee company that adopts the equity method to express opinions on Parent Company Only Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion on Optimax Technology Corporation.

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 provided governing bodies with a declaration that we had complied with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China regarding independence, and communicated with them all relationships and other matters that might possibly be deemed to impair our independence (including relevant preventive measures).

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determined the key audit matters of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Optimax Technology Corporation of 2023. 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 communications.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

(1) Compliance statement

The Parent Company Only financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”

(2) Basis of preparation

Except for financial instruments measured at fair value and net defined benefit assets recognized by deducting the fair value of plan assets from the present value of defined benefit obligations, the financial statements of this entity are prepared on a historical cost basis.

The preparation of the Parent Company Only financial statements requires the use of significant accounting estimates, and the application of the company's accounting policies also involves management's judgment. For details on highly judgmental or complex items, or significant assumptions and estimates related to the Parent Company Only financial statements, please refer to Note 5.

12

In preparing the Parent Company Only financial statements, investments in subsidiaries or associate companies are accounted for using the equity method. To ensure that the current year's profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and equity in the entity's financial statements are consistent with those attributable to the owners of the parent company in the consolidated financial statements, adjustments are made for certain accounting differences between the Parent Company Only and Consolidation basis in "Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method," "Share of Profit or Loss of Subsidiaries and Associate Companies Accounted for Using the Equity Method," "Share of Other Comprehensive Income of Subsidiaries and Associate Companies Accounted for Using the Equity Method," and related equity items.

(3) Classification of current and non-current items

1. 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 mainly for trading purposes.

  • (3) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date.

  • (4) 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.

2. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities: otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:

  • (1) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle.

  • (2) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities.

  • (3) Liabilities expected to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date (even if longterm refinancing or repayment arrangements have been completed after the balance sheet date but before the financial report is issued, they are still classified as current liabilities).

  • (4) Liabilities for which, as of the balance sheet date, there is no substantial right to defer the settlement period to at least twelve months after the balance sheet date.

(4) Foreign currency

When each entity prepares financial reports, transactions in currencies other than the functional currency (foreign currency) are converted into functional currency records based on the exchange rate on the transaction day.

Monetary items in foreign currencies are translated at the closing exchange rate on each balance sheet date. The exchange difference arising from the currency items of delivery or the conversion of currency items is recognized in the current period profit and loss.

The fair value of foreign currency non-monetary items is used to determine the exchange rate on the day of fair value rate conversion, the resulting exchange difference is listed in the current profit and loss, but if the change in fair value is recognized in other comprehensive gains and losses, the resulting conversion difference is listed in other comprehensive gains and losses.

Non-monetary items in foreign currencies as measured by historical cost are converted at the exchange rate on the transaction date and will not be converted again.

When preparing the Parent Company Only financial report, the assets and liabilities of foreign operating organizations (including subsidiaries in the country where they operate or whose currency is different from that of the company) are converted into New Taiwan dollars at the exchange rate on each balance sheet date.

13

The income and expense items are converted at the average exchange rate of the current period. The resulting exchange difference is listed in other comprehensive profit and loss, and accumulated under the equity of the conversion difference of the foreign operation’s financial statements.

If the company disposes of all the rights and interests of the foreign operation, the accumulated exchange difference related to the foreign operations will be reclassified to profit or loss. If the partial disposal of the subsidiaries of the foreign operation does not result in the loss of control, the accumulated exchange difference is re-attributed to the subsidiary’s non-controlling interests and is not recognized as a profit or loss.

(5) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realized value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. Net realized value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.

(6) Investments accounted for using equity method

1. Investment in subsidiary

A subsidiary refers to an entity controlled by the Company. Under the equity method, the initial investment is recognized at cost, and the carrying amount is adjusted based on the Company's share of the subsidiary's profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and distributions. Additionally, changes in other interests in the subsidiary that the Company enjoys are recognized in proportion to the Company's ownership.

When changes in the Company's ownership interest in the subsidiary do not result in the loss of control, they are treated as equity transactions. The difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is directly recognized in equity.

When the Company's share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its equity in that subsidiary (including the carrying amount of the subsidiary under the equity method and other long-term interests that constitute part of the Company's net investment in the subsidiary), losses will continue to be recognized to the extent of the Company's ownership percentage.

The excess of the acquisition cost over the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiary acquired on the acquisition date, which constitutes a business, is recognized as goodwill. This goodwill is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiary over the acquisition cost is recognized as income in the period of acquisition.

When assessing impairment, the Company considers the cash-generating units of the overall financial report and compares their recoverable amount to the carrying amount. If the recoverable amount of the asset increases thereafter, the reversal of impairment loss is recognized as income. However, the carrying amount of the asset after the reversal of impairment loss should not exceed the amount that would have been determined if no impairment loss had been recognized, after deducting any necessary amortization. Impairment losses attributable to goodwill cannot be reversed in subsequent periods.

When the Company loses control over a subsidiary, it measures the remaining investment in the former subsidiary at its fair value as of the date control is lost. The difference between the fair value of the remaining investment and any consideration received, and the carrying amount of the investment at the date control is lost, is recognized in profit or loss for the period. Additionally, all

14

amounts recognized in other comprehensive income related to that subsidiary are accounted for on the same basis as if the Company had directly disposed of the relevant assets or liabilities.

Unrealized gains and losses from upstream transactions between the Company and the subsidiary are eliminated in the individual financial statements. Unrealized gains and losses from downstream and lateral transactions between the Company and the subsidiary are recognized in the individual financial statements only to the extent that they do not relate to the Company's ownership interests in the subsidiary.

2. Investment in associate company

An associate company refers to an entity over which the Company has significant influence but is not a subsidiary or a joint venture. The Company accounts for investments in associates using the equity method.

Under the equity method, investments in associates are initially recognized at cost, and subsequent changes in the carrying amount reflect the Company's share of the associate's profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and distributions of profits. Additionally, changes in the Company's equity in the associate are recognized based on the ownership percentage.

If the Company does not subscribe for new shares issued by an associate, resulting in a change in its ownership percentage and consequently impacting the net equity of the investment, the adjustment to the capital surplus accounts for changes in the equity of associates and investments accounted for using the equity method. Any amounts related to the associate recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified proportionally based on the reduced ownership percentage. This accounting treatment aligns with the basis required when associates directly dispose of relevant assets or liabilities. If the adjustment requires a debit to capital surplus and the balance of the capital surplus generated by investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the difference is debited to retained earnings.

When the Company's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its equity in that associate (including the carrying amount of the investment under the equity method and the company's share of other comprehensive income), further losses are no longer recognized. The Company only recognizes additional losses and liabilities within the scope of statutory obligations, presumed obligations, or payments already made on behalf of the associate.

Impairment assessments involve comparing the total carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) to its recoverable amount and recognizing impairment losses without allocating them to any specific asset, including goodwill. Any reversal of impairment losses is recognized only to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment increases subsequently.

When the Company ceases to apply the equity method for an investment, the remaining equity interest in the former associate is measured at fair value, and any difference between the fair value and the carrying amount of the investment at the cessation date is recognized in profit or loss for the period. Additionally, all amounts related to the former associate recognized in other comprehensive income are accounted for on the same basis required when associates directly dispose of relevant assets or liabilities.

Gains or losses arising from transactions with associates are recognized in the financial statements only to the extent that they do not relate to the Company's equity interest in the associate company.

15

(7) Property, plant and equipment

Real estate, plant and equipment are recognized at cost, and subsequently cost minus accumulated depreciation and the amount after the accumulated impairment loss is measured.

The real property, plant and equipment under construction are the cost minus the accumulated impairment loss and the amount is recognized. Cost includes professional service fees and borrowing costs that meet the capitalization conditions. When these assets are completed and reach the expected state of use, they are classified into real estate, plant and equipment of the appropriate categories of equipment and start depreciation.

Except for self-owned land, which is not depreciated, the rest of the real estate, plant and equipment will be depreciated on a straight-line basis within the service life of each significant part. The company is at least to review the estimated service life, residual value and depreciation method at the end of each year, and postpone the impact of changes in applicable accounting estimates.

When real estate, plant and equipment are delisted, the difference between the net disposal price and the book value of the asset is recognized in profit and loss.

(8) Investment real estate

Investment real estate refers to real estate held for the purpose of earning rent or capital appreciation or both (including right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment real estate). Investment real estate also includes land that has not yet been determined for future use.

Self-owned investment real estate is initially measured at cost (including transaction costs), and subsequently measured at the amount of cost minus accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.

The investment real estate acquired by the lease is initially measured at cost (including the original measurement amount of the lease liability and the lease payment paid before the lease start date), and subsequently measured at the amount after the cost minus the accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, and the lease liability is adjusted again.

All investment real estate is depreciated on a straight-line basis. Real estate, plant and equipment are transferred to investment real estate on the book amount at the end of self-use.

When investment real estate is delisted, the difference between the net disposal price and the asset's book value is recognized in profit and loss.

(9) Intangible Assets

1. Acquired separately:

The limited-life intangible asset acquired separately is measured at cost, and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The intangible asset is amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life. At the end of each fiscal year, the Company reviews its estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method, and defers the impact of any accounting estimate changes.

2. Derecognition:

When an intangible asset is derecognized, any difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in the income statement.

16

- (10) Impairment of non financial assets

The company assesses on each balance sheet date whether there are any indications that real property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, investment real estate and intangible assets may have been impaired. If there is any sign of impairment, estimate the recoverable amount of the asset. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset cannot be estimated, the company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less the cost of sale and its use value. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit is lower than its book value, the book value of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, and the impairment loss is recognized in profit and loss.

When the impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cashgenerating unit is adjusted to the revised recoverable amount, but the increased carrying amount does not exceed the asset or cash-generating unit if the impairment is not recognized in the previous year which the book value determined at the time of the loss (minus amortization or depreciation). The reversal of the impairment loss is recognized in the profit and loss.

(11) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the Parent Company Only balance sheet of the company which becomes one of the contractual terms of the instrument.

When financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized, if financial assets or financial liabilities are not measured at fair value through profit and loss, they are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value plus the transaction cost measurement. Directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss is immediately recognized as profit and loss.

1. Financial assets

Conventional transactions of financial assets are recognized and delisted by accounting on the transaction date.

  • (1) Type of measurement

The types of financial assets held by the company are financial assets

measured at amortized cost and equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive gains and losses.

  • A. Financial assets measured at amortized cost

  • If the financial assets invested by the company meet the following two conditions, they are classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost:

  • (a) It is held under a certain business model, the purpose of which is to hold financial assets

  • (b) The contract terms generate cash flows on a specific date, and these cash flows are completely to collect contractual cash flows; and to pay the principal and interest on the amount of principal in circulation.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable at amortized cost, other receivables and other financial assets) are determined by the effective interest method after initial recognition The total book value is measured after deducting any impairment loss after amortization, and any foreign currency exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit and loss.

Except for the following two cases, interest income is the effective interest rate multiplied by the financial asset of total book amount:

  • (a) For purchased or created credit-impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate after credit adjustment by the amortized cost of the financial asset.

17

  • (b) For financial assets that are not purchased or original credit impairment, but subsequently become credit impairment, you should be confident to calculate interest income by multiplying the effective interest rate by the amortized cost of the financial asset from the next reporting period after the impairment.

    • Equivalent cash includes fixed deposits that are highly liquid and can be converted into fixed cash at any time within 3 months from the date of acquisition, and are used to meet short-term cash commitments.
  • B. Through other comprehensive profit and loss equity instruments measured at fair value to invest in a consolidated company, at the time of initial recognition, an irrevocable choice may be made, which is not to hold for trading and is not recognized by the purchaser of the business merger or has the consideration. Instrument investment is designated to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive gains and losses.

  • Equity instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive gains and losses are measured at fair value, and subsequent changes in fair value are reported in other comprehensive gains and losses and accumulated in other equity. At the time of investment disposal, the accumulated profits and losses are directly transferred to retained earnings and are not reclassified as profits and losses.

The dividends of equity instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive gains and losses are recognized in the profit and loss when the rights of the company to receive payments are established, unless the dividend clearly represents the recovery of part of the investment cost.

  • (2) Impairment of financial assets

  • A. The company assesses the impairment losses of financial assets (including accounts receivable) measured at amortized cost based on expected credit losses on each balance sheet date.

  • B. Accounts receivable shall be recognized as an allowance loss based on the expected credit loss during the duration. For other financial assets, first assess whether the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition. If there is no significant increase, the allowance loss is recognized based on the 12-month expected credit loss, and if it has increased significantly, it is recognized based on the lifetime expected credit loss Allowance for losses.

  • C. Expected credit loss is the weighted average credit loss based on the risk of default. The 12month expected credit loss refers to the expected credit loss caused by the possible default event of the financial instrument within 12 months after the reporting date, and the lifetime expected credit loss represents the expected credit loss caused by all possible default events during the expected lifetime of the financial instrument. The impairment loss of all financial assets is reduced by the allowance account.

(3) Delisting of financial assets

The company only lapses in the contractual rights from the cash flow of financial assets. It has transferred the financial assets and almost all risks and reports of the ownership of the assets.

When transferring to other enterprises, the financial assets are only delisted. When the financial assets measured at the amortized cost are delisted as a whole, their book amount is the difference between the consideration received is recognized in profit and loss. When the equity instrument investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive gains and losses is declassified as a whole, the accumulated gains and losses are directly transferred to the retained earnings are not reclassified as profit or loss.

18

2. Financial liabilities and equity instruments

  • (1) Classification of liabilities or equity

The debt and equity instruments issued by the amalgamating company are classified as financial liabilities or equity based on the substance of the contractual agreement and the definition of financial liabilities and equity instruments.

An equity instrument refers to any contract that recognizes the remaining equity of the company after deducting all its liabilities from its assets. The equity instruments issued are recognized by the company after the acquired price deducting the cost of direct issuance.

(2) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are not held for trading and are not designated as those measured at fair value through profit or loss (including payables). The initial recognition is based on fair value plus direct attributable transaction cost measurement; follow-up evaluation adopts effective interest rate method to amortize this measure.

  • (3) Delisting of financial liabilities

The company delists financial liabilities when contractual obligations have been fulfilled, cancelled, or expired debt.

When excluding financial liabilities, the difference between its book value and the total consideration paid or payable (including any transferred non-cash assets or liabilities assumed) is recognized as profit and loss.

(12) Liability provision

When the company has current obligations (statutory or constructive obligations) due to past events, and is likely to be required to pay off the obligations, and the amount of the obligations can be reliably estimated, the liability provision shall be recognized. The amount recognized as a liability reserve is based on the risk and uncertainty of the obligation, and is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date. The liability reserve is measured by discounting the estimated cash flow of the settlement obligation.

(13) Income recognition

After the company recognizes the performance obligations in the customer contract, it allocates the transaction price to each performance

obligations, and recognize income when each performance obligation is met. Commodity sales revenue

1. Commodity sales revenue comes from the manufacture and sale of polarizers. Sales revenue is recognized when the control of the product is transferred to the customer, that is, when the product is delivered to the customer and the combined company has no outstanding performance obligations that may affect the customer's acceptance of the product. Because when the goods arrive at the customer's designated location, the customer has the right to set the price and use of the goods and bears the main responsibility for resale, and bears the risk of obsolescence and obsolescence of the goods, the consolidated company recognizes revenue and receivables at that point in time Accounts. The advance receipts received before the arrival of the goods are recognized as contract liabilities.

2. Commodity sales revenue is measured by the fair value of the consideration received or receivable, and deducted estimated customer returns, discounts and other similar discounts. The combined company estimates possible sales returns and discounts based on historical experience and other known reasons, and recognizes them accordingly refund liabilities and related rights to return products.

19

(14) Rent

The company assesses whether the contract belongs to (or contains) a lease on the date of contract establishment.

1. The consolidated company is the lessor

When the lease term is to transfer almost all the risks and rewards attached to the ownership of the asset to the lessee classifies it as a finance lease. All other leases are classified as operating lease. When the company subleases the right-of-use asset, the right-of-use asset (not the underlying asset) is used to determine the classification of the sublease. However, if the main lease is a short-term when leasing, the sublease is classified as an operating lease.

Under operating leases, lease payments after deduction of lease incentives are recognized as income on a straight-line basis during the relevant lease period. The lease negotiation with the lessee is related to lease repair from the effective date of the change, it will be treated as a new lease.

2. The company is the lessee

Except for the lease payments of low-value underlying asset leases and short-term leases that are subject to the applicable recognition exemption, the lease payments are recognized as expenses during the lease period on a straight-line basis, and all other leases are opened in the lease. The right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the inception date.

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of the lease liabilities, adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to dismantle, remove and restore the underlying assets and the subsequent measures are measured at the cost after deducting the accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, and the remeasurement amount of the lease liability is adjusted.

Except for those that meet the definition of investment real estate, right-of-use assets are separately expressed in the Parent Company Only balance sheet, and the recognition and balance of right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment real estate, please refer to Note 4 (8) Accounting Policy for Investment Real Estate.

The right-of-use asset adopts a straight-line basis from the lease start date to the end of its useful life or the lease period expires, the earlier of the two shall be depreciated.

The lease liability was originally measured at the present value of the lease payment. If the implicit interest rate of the lease is easy to determine, the lease payment is discounted using that interest rate. If the interest rate is not easy to determine, use the lessee to increase the borrowing interest rate.

Subsequently, the lease liability is measured on the amortized cost basis using the effective interest method, and the interest expense is amortized during the lease period. If the lease period or the index or rate used to determine the lease payment changes resulting in a change in the future lease payment, the company will continue measure the lease liability and relatively

adjust the right-of-use asset. However, if the book value of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero, the remaining remeasured amount is recognized in the profit and loss. For lease modifications that are not treated as separate leases, the scope of the lease is reduced The remeasurement of the lease liability is to reduce the right-of-use asset and recognize the profit and loss of the partial or full termination of the lease; the remeasurement of the lease liability for other modifications is to adjust the right-of-use asset, and the lease liability is separately expressed in the Parent Company Only balance sheet.

20

(15) Employee benefits

1. Short-term employee benefits:

Short-term employee benefits are measured by the expected non-discounted amount of cash paid, and are recognized as expenses when the relevant services are provided.

2. Retirement fund:

(1)Definite allocation plan:

For the definite allocation plan, the amount of the retirement fund that should be allocated is recognized as the current pension expense on the basis of accrual. The advance payment is recognized as an asset within the scope of refundable cash or reduced future payments.

  • (2)Definite benefit plan:

The net obligation under the definite benefit plan is calculated by discounting the amount of future benefits earned by the employee for the current or past services, and the current value of the definite benefit obligation on the balance sheet date minus the fair value of the plan assets.

The net obligation to determine benefits is calculated by the actuary every year using the projected unit benefit method, and the discount rate is determined by referring to the market yield rate of high-quality corporate bonds that are consistent with the currency and period of the determined benefit plan on the balance sheet date; in high-quality corporate bonds For countries with no deep market, the market yield rate of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) is used. The remeasurement amount generated by the determined benefit plan is recognized in other comprehensive profit and loss in the current period and included in the retained surplus. The related expenses of the previous service cost are immediately recognized as a loss.

3. Retirement fund:

Resignation benefits are benefits provided when the employee's employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or when the employee decides to accept the company's welfare invitation in exchange for termination of employment. The company recognizes expenses when the offer for resignation benefits can no longer be revoked or when the relevant reorganization costs are recognized earlier, and it is not expected that the benefits that are fully paid off within 12 months after the balance sheet date should be granted discount.

(16) Income taxes

1. Current income tax:

The company determines the current income (loss), based on which to calculate the payable (recoverable) income tax.

The undistributed surplus calculated in accordance with the provisions of the Income Tax Law of the Republic of China is subject to additional income tax, recognized by the resolution of the Shareholders’ annual meeting.

The adjustment of income tax payable in previous years is included in current income tax.

2. Deferred income tax:

Deferred income tax is calculated based on the temporary difference between the book value of assets and liabilities and the tax basis for calculating taxable income.

Deferred income tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, while deferred income tax assets are recognized when there is likely to be taxable income for deduction of temporary differences or loss deductions.

21

Taxable temporary differences related to investment in subsidiaries are recognized as deferred income tax liabilities, but if the company can control the timing of the reversal

of the temporary difference, and the temporary difference is likely to not revert in the foreseeable future except. The deductible temporary differences related to this type of investment are recognized as deferred income tax only if it is likely to have sufficient taxable income to realize the temporary difference, and within the scope of expected return in the foreseeable future assets.

The carrying amount of deferred income tax assets is reviewed on each balance sheet date, and the carrying amount is reduced for those that are no longer likely to have sufficient taxable income to recover all or part of their assets. Those that were not previously recognized as deferred income tax assets are also reviewed on each balance sheet date and are likely to generate taxable income for the recovery of all or part of their assets in the future, increase the carrying amount. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured by the tax rate for the current period of expected debt settlement or asset realization. The tax rate is based on the tax rate and tax law that has been legislated or substantively legislated on the balance sheet date, and the deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured It reflects the tax consequences arising from the manner in which the company expects to recover or settle the book value of its assets and liabilities on the balance sheet date.

  • 3.Current and deferred income tax:

Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in profit or loss, but current and deferred income taxes related to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in equity are recognized in other comprehensive profit or loss may be directly included in equity.

5. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation and Assumption Uncertainty

When the company adopts the accounting policies described in Note 4, for those who cannot easily obtain information about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities from other sources, the management must base on historical experience and other relevant factors to make relevant judgments, estimates and assumptions. The estimates and related assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors deemed relevant. Actual results may differ from estimates.

Estimates and basic assumptions are continuously reviewed. If the revision of the estimate only affects the current period, it shall be recognized in the current period of the revision of the accounting estimate. If the revision of the accounting estimate affects both the current period and the future period, it shall be recognized in the current period and the future period of the estimate revision.

The main sources of uncertainties in major accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions of the company are as follows:

(1) Evaluation of inventories

Since inventory must be priced at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the merging company must use judgment and estimation to determine the net realizable value of the inventory at the end of the financial reporting period. Due to the rapid changes in the industry, the company assesses the amount of inventory at the end of the financial reporting period due to normal depletion, obsolescence, or no market sales value, and offsets the inventory cost to the net realizable value. This inventory evaluation

is mainly based on the product demand in a specific period in the future, which may cause major changes.

(2) Estimated impairment of financial assets

The estimated impairment of accounts receivable is based on the assumption of default rate and expected loss rate of the company. The company considers historical experience, current market conditions and forward-looking information to make assumptions and select input values for impairment assessment. For important assumptions and input values used, please refer to Note 6 (3). If the actual future cash flow is less than expected, it may be incurred significant impairment losses.

- (3) Assessment of impairment of non financial assets

In the process of asset impairment assessment, the company must rely on subjective judgments and determine the independent cash flow of a specific asset group, the number of years of asset durability, and the possible future income and expenses of a specific asset group based on the use of assets and industrial characteristics. Changes or estimated changes brought about by the company's strategy may cause significant impairment or reversal of recognized impairment losses in the future.

(4) The realized of deferred income tax assets

Deferred income tax assets are recognized when there is likely to be sufficient taxable income in the future to deduct temporary differences. When assessing the feasibility of deferred income tax assets, significant accounting judgments and estimates of the management must be involved, including the expected future sales revenue growth and profit rate, tax exemption period, applicable income tax deductions and tax regulations and cost-effective assumption. Any changes in the global economic environment, industrial environment and laws and regulations may cause major adjustments to deferred income tax assets.

1. In principle, the credit investment period of the company to customers is 30 to 120 days after the invoice date. In order to reduce credit risk, the management of the company assigns a dedicated team to credit limit determination, credit approval and other monitoring procedures to ensure overdue accounts receivable appropriate actions have been taken for the recovery. In addition, the company will gradually review the recoverable amount of accounts receivable to ensure that the accounts receivable that cannot be recovered have been properly deducted.

2. The company recognizes the allowance loss of accounts receivable based on the expected credit loss during the duration. The expected credit loss during the existence period takes into account the past default records of customers and the current financial situation, industrial economic situation, and also considers the overall economic and industrial outlook. Separate individual customers into different risk groups and recognize allowance losses based on the expected loss rate of each group lost.

3. If there is evidence that the counterparty of the transaction is facing serious financial difficulties and the company cannot reasonably expect the recoverable amount, the company directly writes off the relevant accounts receivable, but will continue to pursue recourse activities. The amount recovered due to recourse is recognized in profit and loss.

2. Significant associated company:

The management of our company, aiming to capitalize on global IoT cybersecurity opportunities, resolved at the board meeting on March 23, 2023, to invest in Intelligent Information Security Technology INC. (hereinafter referred to as "Intelligent Information Security"). We paid an investment amount of NT$120,000 thousand in April 2023, holding a 24.54% stake in Intelligent Information Security, which grants us significant influence over its operations. We evaluate our investment in Intelligent Information Security using the equity method.

The investment agreement and commitment agreement with the major original shareholders of Intelligent Information Security contain the following key provisions:

  • (1) The major original shareholders of Intelligent Information Security are allowed to recruit key talents necessary for the operation and development of Intelligent Information Security, and only then are they permitted to transfer technical shares under their names. However, prior written consent from our company must be obtained before any such transfer.

Additionally, within two years after our company's investment, the major original shareholders of Intelligent Information Security are prohibited from selling, entrusting, transferring, gifting, pledging, or otherwise encumbering their shares to third parties. Furthermore, within two to five years after our company's investment, they are restricted from selling, entrusting, transferring, gifting, pledging, or otherwise encumbering more than 30% of their shares to third parties. Shares transferred within the 30% limit cannot be sold to competitors of Intelligent Information Security.

Our company has the right of first refusal when the major original shareholders of Intelligent Information Security intend to sell, transfer, or dispose of their shares. When transferring shares within five years after our company's investment, the major original shareholders must ensure that the third-party buyer accepts the same restrictions as outlined in the original commitment agreement and provide a commitment letter consistent with the obligations in the original agreement.

  • (2) Apart from the aforementioned restrictions on transfer, once the stipulated transfer restriction period has elapsed, the major original shareholders of Intelligent Information Security must promptly notify our company of any intention to sell, transfer, or dispose of their shares to third parties. Upon receiving such notice, our company has 30 days to notify the major original shareholders of Intelligent Information Security in writing, specifying the decision to jointly sell the shares to the same third party under the same conditions. If the major original shareholders of Intelligent Information Security receive a joint sale notice from our company, they must specify the number of shares they intend to sell within 30 days, and they must sell these shares together to the third party.

However, if the total number of shares proposed for sale by both parties exceeds the number of shares the third party intends to purchase, the number of shares proposed for sale by each party should be reduced in proportion to their respective shareholding until it matches the number of shares the third party intends to purchase.

28

  • (3) The major original shareholders of Intelligent Information Security who contributed non-cash investments agree that within two years of our company's investment and the issuance of shares, in the event of bankruptcy, dissolution, liquidation, sale of all or most of the company's assets, merger with another company, or similar events involving Intelligent Information Security, they will not participate in the distribution nor request cash payment for their shares. Furthermore, when distributing surplus assets, our company is entitled to participate in the distribution in proportion to the amount of cash investment made by each shareholder.

  • (4) The summarized financial information below is prepared based on the consolidated financial statements of associated enterprises in accordance with IFRSs, and adjustments have been made to reflect investments accounted for using the equity method.

The company is exposed to the following risks due to the pension system of the Labor Standards Law:

  • (1) Investment risk: The Labor Fund Utilization Bureau of the Ministry of Labor invests labor retirement funds in domestic (foreign) equity securities through its own use and entrusted operations. Subject to debt securities and bank deposits, but in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Standards Law, the overall return on assets shall not be lower than the local bank’s 2-year fixed deposit interest rate: if the interest rate is lower than that, the state treasury shall make up for it.

  • (2) Interest rate risk: The decline in the interest rate of government bonds will increase the present value of the determined welfare obligation, but the debt investment return of the planned asset will also increase. The two are in conflict and the impact of fixed benefit liabilities has a partial offset effect.

  • (3) Salary risk: The calculation of the present value of the defined benefit obligation is based on the future salary of the plan members. Therefore, the increase in the salary of the plan members will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The main assumptions of actuarial evaluation are listed as follows:

The changes in the main actuarial assumptions that were adopted on December 31, 2024 and 2023, will increase (decrease) the present value of defined benefit obligations by the following amounts:

(2) Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk refers to the risk of changes in the fair value of financial instruments due to changes in market interest rates. The interest rate risk of the company is mainly income investment and fixed and floating interest rate of borrowings, and the current market interest rate is low, it is expected that there is no major interest rate change risk, so the company did not hedge against it.

6. Fair value of financial instruments

  • (1) Financial instruments measured by amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured by amortized cost, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other accounts receivable, other financial assets, guarantee deposit receivable, short-term loans, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, long-term loans and deposit deposits) is a reasonable approximation of the fair value.

  • (2) When considering market participant assumptions in fair value measurements, the following fair value hierarchy distinguishes between observable and unobservable inputs, which are categorized in one of the following levels:

  • a. Level 1 inputs: Unadjusted quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets.

  • b. Level 2 inputs: Other than quoted prices included within Level 1, inputs are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).

  • c. Level 3 inputs: Derived from valuation techniques that include inputs for the asset or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

57

  • (3) Valuation techniques and assumptions applied in fair value measurement The fair value of financial assets is determined in the following way: Since the investee company’s original investment date, the performance and operation of the investee company has not undergone any major changes, so the consolidated company uses the investment cost as the fair value estimated value.

  • (4) There was no change in the fair value of financial assets in 2024 and 2023.

  • (5) The following chart is the movement of Level 3:
