Independent Auditors' Report

To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the "Group") as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and noted 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, 2025 and 2024, and consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS"), International Accounting Standards ("IAS"), IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing. 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 Accountants, 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.

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 for 2025 of Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Recognition of revenue

The main operating revenue of the Group comes from the Wastewater Treatment. Since there are numerous entrusted wastewater treatment customers, the existence and completeness of the transactions with the customers affect the amount and timing of revenue recognition. Therefore, we identified the recognition of revenues as a key audit matter.

~4~


Our audit procedures include (but not limited to) understanding and evaluating the appropriateness of the primary internal control design related to revenue recognition and testing its effectiveness; confirming the validity of the emission qualifications approved by environmental authorities, confirming that it's a polluting factory within the zone and obtaining a triple receipt from the Environmental Protection Agency, verifying the accuracy of the report information used by management to calculate revenues, including spot-checking the billing items and handling volumes in the report to the contract content and related weigh note, as well as checking the accuracy and reasonableness of its calculations. Also, according to the terms set by the contract, as well as whether the processing volume stated in the documents reported to the external environmental agencies is consistent with the company's records, to confirm the appropriate recognition of revenue. In addition, we also considered the appropriateness of the disclosures about operating revenue in Note 4 and Note 6 of the financial statements.

The responsibility of the management and 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, the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission; and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of the consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Group 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.

Auditors' responsibility for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with Standards on Auditing will always detect a material misstatement when it exits. Misrepresentation can arise from fraud or error. If, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

~5~


As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism. We also:

  1. 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.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal controls related to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal controls.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of the accounting policies used and the reasonableness of their accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by management.

  4. 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 a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty 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 going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that are identified during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

~6~


From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters of Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and its subsidiary that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matters 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 communicate.

9 and IAS 7)

(1) IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”

This standard provides a comprehensive model to insurance contracts, including all accounting treatment (recognition, measurement, expression, and disclosure principle). The core of the standard is general, and under this model, initial recognition measures the insurance contract group by the combination of the cash flow from performance obligation and contract service margin; the book amount at the end of each reporting period is the sum of the liability for remaining coverage and the liability for incurred claims.

In addition to the general model, a specific applicable method (Variable Fee Approach, VFA) for contracts with direct participation features as well as a simplified approach for short-term contracts (Premium Allocation Approach, PAA) are provided. The standard was released in May 2017 and subsequently amended in 2020 and 2021. Except for a 2-year delay in the effective date in the transitional provisions (i.e., from January 1, 2021, to January 1, 2023) and additional exemptions provided, these amendments also led to cost reduction for applying the standard by streamlining some provisions and made some cases easier to interpret by revising some provisions. This standard replaces an interim standard (IFRS 4 “Insurance Contracts”).

(2) Financial Instruments and Financial Instruments: Disclosures (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IAS 7)

This amendment includes:

(a) A clarification that financial liabilities are to be removed from balance sheet on the settlement date, and the proper accounting treatment for financial liabilities that are settled using electronic payment before the settlement date.
(b) A clarification on how to assess the cash flow characteristics of financial assets that are linked to environment, social, and governance (ESG) issues or other financial assets of similar contingent characteristics.
(c) A clarification on accounting treatments for assets with non-recourse features and contractually linked instruments.
(d) IFRS 7 requires additional disclosures for financial assets or liabilities that carry special conditions or characteristics (including ESG linkage) and equity investments at fair value through other comprehensive income.

(3) Annual Improvements to IFRS Accounting Standards - Volume 11

(a) Amendments to IFRS 1

This amendment introduces cross-references to address uncertainties related to the derecognition of lease liabilities by lessees, and clarifies the treatment of transaction prices.

(e) Amendments to IFRS 10

This amendment eliminates the inconsistency between paragraph B74 and B73 of the standard.

(f) Amendments to IAS 7

This amendment removes the reference to the cost method in paragraph 37 of the standard.

(4) Dependent Electricity Contracts (Amendments to IFRS 9 and IAS 7)

(1) Amendments to IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements, and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures -- Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture

Addressing the inconsistency between IFRS 10 “Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28 “Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures”, concerning the loss of control when a subsidiary is used to invest in an associate or joint venture. IAS 28 restricts gains and losses arising from contributions of non-monetary assets to an associate or a joint venture shall be offset through downstream sale. IFRS 10 requires full profit or loss recognition other loss of control of the subsidiary. IAS 28 was amended so that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets as defined in IFRS 3 shall be recognized in full.

IFRS 10 was also amended so that the gains or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that does not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors' interests in the associate or joint venture.

This standard will supersede IAS 1 - "Presentation of Financial Statements" and introduces the following major changes:

(a) Enhanced comparability of the income statement

Income and expenses in the statement of profit or loss will be classified into five categories—operating, investing, financing, income tax, and discontinued operations. The first three are newly introduced classifications aimed at

~15~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

improving the structure of the statement. All entities will be required to present newly defined subtotals, including operating profit or loss. By enhancing the structure of the income statement and introducing new defined subtotals, investors can have a consistent starting point when analyzing financial performance across entities and make comparisons more easily.

(b) Improved transparency of management performance measures
Entities are required to disclose explanations of company-specific metrics related to the statement of profit or loss, referred to as management performance measures.

(c) Useful aggregation of financial statement information
Guidance is provided on where to present financial information in the primary financial statements or notes, expected to provide more detailed and useful information. Entities are required to provide more transparent information on operating expenses to assist investors in identifying and understanding the information used.

(3) Disclosure initiative - Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures (IFRS 19)

This new standard and its amendments provide simplified disclosures for subsidiaries without public accountability, allowing eligible subsidiaries to choose to apply this standard voluntarily.

This amendment includes:

(a) Clarify that when the functional currency of a reporting entity is not under hyperinflation and is exchanged into a presentation currency under hyperinflation, its operating results and financial position should be translated at the closing exchange rate on the date of the most recent statement of financial position.

(b) In the aforementioned circumstances, when the subsequent presentation currency is no longer under hyperinflation, the reporting entity should not restate prior period amounts.

(c) When both the functional currency and presentation currency are under hyperinflation, the reporting entity should perform the relevant accounting treatment in accordance with paragraph 34 of IAS 29.

The above standards or interpretations issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC will take effect in accordance with the regulations of FSC. Other than the ongoing evaluation of the potential impact of the newly issued or amended standards or

interpretations related to (2), the Group is temporarily unable to reasonably estimate the impact of the aforementioned standards or interpretations on the Group. The rest of the new standards, interpretations and amendments have no significant impact to the Group.

IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

  1. Compliance Statement

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IASs), IFRIC Interpretations and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the FSC.

  1. Basis of Preparation

Besides the consolidated financial instruments measured at fair value, the Individual Financial Statements are prepared on the basis of historical costs. Unless otherwise stated, the consolidated financial statements are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars.

  1. Consolidation

The basis of preparation for consolidated financial statements

When the Company is exposed to the varied remunerations participated by the investees or is entitled to the varied remunerations and is capable of affecting the remunerations through the authority over the investees, the controlling is achieved. The Company will only have control over the investee when the following three criteria of control have been met:

(1) The power over the invested company (i.e., having the vested rights to lead the relevant activities)
(2) The risk exposure or right of the variable returns from participating in the invested company, and
(3) The ability to influence the amount of returns of the invested company by exercising power over the invested company

When the Company directly or indirectly holds less than a majority of voting or similar rights of an investee, all relevant facts and circumstances are taken into account by the Company in assessing whether it has power over the investee, including:

~17~


~18~

Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

(1) Contractual agreements with other voting rights holders of the invested company
(2) Rights arising from other contractual agreements
(3) Voting rights and potential voting rights

When facts and circumstances indicate that there has been a change in one or more of the three control elements, the Company reassesses whether it still has control over the investee.

Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated statements in their entirety from the date of acquisition or from the date the Company gains substantial control over them, until the date when control over the subsidiary is lost. The accounting cycle and accounting policy of the subsidiary's financial statements will follow those of the parent company. All balances and transactions in the Group and unrealized internal gains and losses arising from internal transactions within the Group and dividends will be completely written off.

If control over the subsidiary is not lost, changes in shares held in the subsidiary will be treated as equity transactions.

A subsidiary's total comprehensive income is attributed to the shareholders of the Company and non-controlling interests, even if non-controlling interests become deficit balance in the process.

If the Company's control over the subsidiary is lost, then:

(1) Subsidiary's assets (including goodwill) and liabilities will be derecognized;
(2) Carrying amount of any non-controlling interests will be derecognized;
(3) Fair value of the considerations acquired will be recognized;
(4) Fair value of any retained investments will be recognized;
(5) Amounts recognized in other comprehensive income by the parent company will be reclassified as gains or losses in the period or transferred directly to retained earnings in accordance with other International Financial Reporting Standards;
(6) Any resulting differences will be recognized as gains or losses in the period.

The main business entity of the consolidated financial statements is as follows:

Name of investors Name of subsidiaries Principal business operation Percentage of ownership

Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Cash and cash equivalents are cash on hand, demand deposits, and short-term and highly liquid time deposits or investments that are readily convertible into fixed cash amount and have a very low risk of changes in value.

  1. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the financial instrument contract.

Financial assets and financial liabilities subject to the provisions of IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” at the time of original recognition, were measured at fair value. The acquisition or issuance transaction costs that are directly attributable to the financial assets and financial liabilities (except for financial assets and financial liabilities that are classified as measured at fair value through profit or loss) are added or subtracted from the fair value of the financial assets and financial liabilities.

(1) Recognition and measurement of financial assets

The recognition and derecognition of all the financial assets of the Group are handled with the trade date accounting.

The Group uses the following two items to have financial assets classified as subsequently measured at amortized cost, measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, or measured at fair value through profit or loss:

A. Operating model of financial assets management
B. Contractual cash flow characteristics of financial assets

Financial assets measured at cost after amortization

Financial assets that meet the following two criteria are to be measured at amortized cost and booked in the balance sheet in terms of notes receivable, accounts receivable, financial assets measured at amortized cost, and other receivables:

A. Operating model of financial assets management: financial asset is held to receive contractual cash flows
B. Contractual cash flow characteristics from the financial assets: cash flow is the interest paid solely on the principal and the outstanding principal.

These financial assets (excluding those involved in hedging relationships) are subsequently measured at amortized cost [the amount measured at initial recognition, less any repayments of principal, plus or minus the cumulative amortization of any difference between that initial amount and the maturity amount (using the effective

~20~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

interest method) and adjusted for any provision for bad debts]. For derecognition, the benefits or losses are recognized in profit or loss through amortization procedures or recognition of impairment profit or loss.

Interest that is calculated with the effective interest method (having the effective interest rate multiplied by the total book value of financial assets) or the following conditions is recognized in profit or loss:

A. For a credit impairment financial asset purchased or originated, have the effective interest rate after credit adjustment multiplied by the amortized cost of financial assets.

B. Other than those stated in the preceding paragraph, but which subsequently become credit impaired, have the effective interest rate multiplied by the amortized cost of the financial assets.

Financial assets measured at FVOCI

Financial assets that meet the following two criteria are to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and the financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are to be listed in the balance sheet:

A. Operating model of financial assets management: Collect contractual cash flows and sell financial assets.

B. Contractual cash flow characteristics from the financial assets: cash flow is the interest paid solely on the principal and the outstanding principal.

The recognition of the profit or loss related to such financial assets is as follows:

A. Before derecognition or reclassification, except for the impairment profit or loss and foreign currency exchange gains and losses recognized in profit or loss, the profit or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income.

B. At the time of derecognition, the cumulative profit or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss as reclassification adjustment.

C. Interest that is calculated with the effective interest method (having the effective interest rate multiplied by the total book value of financial assets) or the following conditions is recognized in profit or loss:

(a) For a credit impairment financial asset purchased or originated, have the effective interest rate after credit adjustment multiplied by the amortized cost of financial assets.

(b) Other than those stated in the preceding paragraph, but which subsequently become credit impaired, have the effective interest rate multiplied by the

~21~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

amortized cost of financial assets.

In addition, for equity instruments applicable to IFRS 9 and are not held as available-for-sale or applicable as a contingent consideration by the acquirer in business consolidation in IFRS 3, during initial recognition, the Company will choose (this is not reversible) to state its subsequent fair value changes in the other comprehensive income (loss). Amounts stated in other comprehensive income cannot be converted to income or loss (during disposal of such equity instrument, the accumulated amount stated in other equity item will be directly transferred to retained earnings), and will be stated in the Balance Sheet as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss). Investment dividends will be recognized in income or loss, unless such dividends clearly represent a portion of the investment cost.

Financial assets measured at FVTPL

In addition to the aforementioned measurement at cost after amortization for having met certain conditions or measurement at fair value through other comprehensive income (loss), financial assets are all measured at fair value through income or loss, and are stated in the balance sheet as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

These financial assets are measured at fair value, and any gain or loss from their revaluation will be recognized as profit or loss. The gain or loss recognized as profit or loss includes any dividend or interest received from the financial asset.

(2) Impairments of financial assets

The Group recognizes and measures the provision for bad debts for Investments in debt instruments designated at fair value through other comprehensive income and Financial assets at amortized cost based on the expected credit loss. For the debt instrument investment measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, allowance for loss is recognized in the other comprehensive income (loss), and the book value of the investment will not be reduced.

The Group measures expected credit losses to reflect the following:

A. An amount that is unbiased and weighted by probability through evaluating each possible outcome
B. Time value of money
C. Reasonable and corroborative information (that can be obtained on the balance sheet date without excessive costs or inputs) relating to past events, current conditions, and future economic forecasts

~22~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)
(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

The methods used for measuring allowance for loss are as follows:

A. It is measured by the 12-month expected credit loss amount: Including the credit risk that has not increased significantly since the original recognition of the financial assets, or it is determined as low credit risk on the balance sheet date. In addition, this also includes those with allowance loss measured by the expected credit loss during the previous reporting period, but no longer meets the condition in which the credit risk has significant increased since the original recognition on the balance sheet date.

B. The expected credit loss amount for the duration: Including the significant increase in credit risk of the financial assets since the original recognition, or the financial assets with credit impairment purchased or originated.

C. For accounts receivable and contractual assets that arise from the transactions defined in IFRS 15, the Group measures loss provisions at expected credit loss over the remaining duration.

D. For the rent receivables arising from the transactions as stipulated in IFRS 16, the Group uses the expected credit losses for the duration of the period to measure the allowance for losses.

On each balance sheet date, the Group assesses whether the credit risk of financial instruments after the original recognition has increased significantly by comparing the changes in the default risk of the financial instruments on the balance sheet date and the original recognition date. Refer to Note (12) for credit risk-related information.

(3) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group's financial assets will be derecognized when one of the following conditions occurs:

A. The contractual right from the cash flow of the financial asset is terminated.

B. When nearly all risk and compensations associated with ownership of a financial asset has been transferred.

C. Nearly all risk and compensations associated with ownership of an asset has neither been transferred nor retained, but the control of the asset has been transferred.

When a financial asset is derecognized in its entirety, the difference between its carrying amount and any cumulative gain or loss that has been received or is receivable and recognized in other comprehensive income (loss), will be recognized in profit or loss.

Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

(4) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

Classification of liability or equity

The Group classifies the liabilities and equities instrument issued as financial liability or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability, and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

Equity instruments refer to any contract with residual interest after subtracting all liabilities from assets. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized by the acquisition cost minus direct distribution costs.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities subject to the provisions of IFRS 9 are classified, at the original recognition, as financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL

Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading and financial liabilities designated at fair value through profit or loss.

A financial asset will be classified as available-for-sale when it meets one of the following conditions:

A. The primary purpose for acquisition of the asset is short-term sales;
B. It is part of an identifiable financial instrument combination of the consolidated management at the time of initial recognition, and there is evidence that the combination is a short-term profit operating model in the near future; or
C. It is a derivative (except for financial guarantee contract or a designated and effective hedging instrument).

For contracts that include one or multiple embedded derivative instruments, the entire hybrid (integrated) contract could be designated as a financial instrument at fair value through profit or loss. In addition, when it meets one the following conditions and can provide more relevant information, it could be designated as at fair value through profit or loss during initial recognition:

~24~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

A. The designation can eliminate or significantly reduce the inconsistency of measurement or recognition; or
B. The performance of a group of financial liabilities or a group of financial assets and financial liabilities is managed and assessed on a fair value basis according to the written risk management or investment strategies; also, the portfolio information provided to the management within the consolidated company is also based on the fair value.

The benefits or losses arising from the re-measurement of such financial liabilities are recognized in profit or loss. The gain or loss recognized in profit or loss includes any interest paid on the financial liability.

Financial liabilities measured at the amortized cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include payables and borrowings, etc., which are subsequently measured using the effective interest method after initial recognition. When financial liabilities are derecognized and amortized through the effective interest method, the related gains or losses and amortization amount are recognized in the profit or loss.

Calculation of the amortized cost will take discount or premium during acquisition and transaction cost into consideration.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

When the obligation of a financial liability is terminated, canceled or no longer effective, the financial liability will be derecognized.

When the Group and the creditors exchange debt instruments with significant differences, or make major changes to all or part of the existing financial liabilities (whether due to financial difficulties or otherwise), treatment will include derecognition of the original liabilities and the recognition of new liabilities. During derecognition of financial liabilities, the difference between the carrying amount and the total amount of the consideration paid or payable, including the transferred non-cash assets or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

(5) Offset of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities can only be offset and presented in net terms on the balance sheet only when the recognized amounts currently contain exercise of legal rights for offset and are intended to be settled on a net basis or can be realized simultaneously and the debt can be settled.

~25~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

  1. Fair value measurement

Fair value refers to the price required or transferred to an asset in an orderly transaction between market participants on a measurement date. Fair value measurement assumes that the transaction for the asset being sold or liability being transferred takes place in one of the following markets:

(1) Principal market of the asset or liability, or
(2) If no principal market exists, the most favorable market for the asset or liability

The Group needs to be able to enter the principal or most favorable market in order to carry out the transaction.

Fair value measurement of the asset or liability uses the assumption that market participants would adopt while pricing the asset or liability, where the assumption is that the market participants would take the most favorable economic conditions into consideration.

The fair value measurement of a non-financial asset takes into consideration the market participant's use of the asset for its highest price and best use or by selling the asset to another market participant who will use the asset for its highest price and best use to generate economic benefits.

The Group uses valuation techniques that are appropriate and relevant in the relevant circumstances to measure fair value and maximize the use of observable inputs and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs.

  1. INVENTORIES

Inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value on an item-by-item basis.

The cost refers to the cost incurred to make the inventory available for sale or production, and for the cost incurred to bring the real estate to a saleable state and location:

Raw materials using the weighted average method for its actual purchase cost.

Finished goods, commodities, and semi-finished products - include direct raw materials, labor and fixed manufacturing costs allocated based on normal capacity, but not include borrowing costs.

~26~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Net realizable value refers to the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs still to be incurred to complete and selling expenses.

Treatment for provision of labor services related to IFRS 15, and does not fall within the Scope of Review for Inventory.

  1. Investments accounted for using equity method

Apart from being classified as Assets held for sale, the Group's investment in associates is adopted equity method. An associate refers to an entity over which the Group has significant influence. Joint ventures refer to an entity over whose net assets the Group has rights under joint arrangements (joint control).

Under the equity method, the accounting for investments in associates or joint ventures in the balance sheet is the purchase cost plus the amount recognized by the Group for changes in the net assets of such associate or joint ventures, calculated on the proportionate shares. After the carrying amount and other related long-term equity interests in associate or joint venture have been reduced to zero using the equity method, additional losses and liabilities are recognized within the scope of statutory obligations, implicit obligations, or payments made on behalf of associates. Unrealized gains or losses generated from transactions between the Group and associate or joint venture are eliminated in proportion to its equity interests in the associate or joint venture.

When changes in equity of associate or joint venture are not due to profit or loss and other comprehensive income items and do not affect the Group's percentage of ownership, the Group recognizes changes in ownership equity in proportion to its shareholding. Therefore, the recognized Capital surplus is reclassified into profit or loss based on the disposal proportion when disposing of associate or joint venture.

When an associate or joint venture issues new shares, the Group does not subscribe according to the holding ratio, causing changes in the investment ratio. As a result, the Group adjusts the increase or decrease with "Capital surplus" and "Investments adopted equity method" for any changes in the net assets share of the associate or joint venture owned by the Group. When the proportion of investments decreases, the related items previously recognized in Other Comprehensive Income are reclassified to profit or loss or other appropriate accounts according on the reduction ratio. The aforementioned Capital surplus is transferred to profit or loss proportionately when the associate or joint venture is subsequently disposed of.

The financial statements of associate or joint venture are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group and are adjusted to conform to the accounting policies of the Group.

~27~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

The Group determines whether there is objective evidence of impairment for its investments in associate or joint venture according to IAS 28 'Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures' at the end of each reporting period. If there is any objective evidence of impairment, the Group will calculate the impairment amount by the difference between the recoverable amount and the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture according to IAS 36 'Impairment of Assets', and recognize the amount in the income or loss from the associate or joint venture. The aforementioned recoverable amount, if using value-in-use of the investment, the Group determines the relevant value-in-use based on the following estimates:

(1) The Group's share of the present value of the estimated future cash flows generated by associate or joint venture, including cash flows from operations of associate or joint venture and the proceeds from the final disposal of such investments; or
(2) The Group expects to receive dividends from the investment and the present value of the expected future cash flows generated by the eventual disposal of the investment.

Since the Goodwill that forms part of the Carrying Amount of Investments in an associate or joint venture is not separately recognized, it is not necessary to apply the provisions of Impairment of Assets under the IAS 36 for the impairment testing of Goodwill.

When the Group loses significant influence over an associate or joint control over a joint venture, the retained investment is measured at fair value and recognized. When significant influence or joint control is lost, the difference between the carrying amount of the investment in associate or joint venture and the fair value of any retained investment plus the proceeds from disposal is recognized as a gain or loss. In addition, when the investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture, or when an investment in a joint venture becomes an investment in an associate, our group continues to apply the equity method without re-measuring the retained equity.

  1. PROPERTY, PLANT AND EQUIPMENT

Property, plant and equipment are recognized at acquisition cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. The aforementioned cost includes the cost of dismantling, removing and restoring the site of the property, plant and equipment, and the necessary interest expense generated by the under construction. Each part of an item of equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately. When significant components of property, plant and equipment need to be periodically replaced, the Group regards these components as individual assets and recognizes them separately with specific useful life and depreciation methods. The book value of these replaced parts is derecognized in accordance with the provision of IAS 16 "Property, Plant, and Equipment." If the major repair and maintenance costs are in compliance with the recognition conditions, they are recognized as replacement costs

~28~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

and are recognized as part of the plant and equipment book value. Other repair and maintenance expenses are recognized in profit or loss.

Depreciation is calculated and appropriated in accordance with the straight-line method and the estimated useful life of the following assets:

Buildings and structures 3 to 50 years
Machinery and equipment 3 to 20 years
Transport equipment 1 to 12 years
Office equipment 3 to 8 years
Other equipment 3 to 48 years

Items or any significant component of the property, plant and equipment are derecognized and recognized as profit or loss if they are disposed of or if it is expected that no future economic benefits will flow to the entity from their use or disposal after initial recognition.

The residual value, useful life, and depreciation method of property, plant, and equipment are evaluated at the end of each financial year. If the expected value is different from the previous estimate, the change is considered as accounting estimates.

11. Leases

The Group evaluates whether the contract as a lease on the contract establishment date. If a contract is signed to have the control over the use of identified assets transferred for a period of time in exchange for a consideration, it is (or includes) a lease. In order to assess whether a contract is signed to have the control over the use of identified assets transferred for a period of time, the Group assesses whether there are the following two factors throughout the period of use:

  1. The user is able to obtain virtually all economic benefits and entitlements from using the identified asset; and
  2. The user has the right to determine how identified asset is used.

For contracts that are (or include) leases, the Group will treat each lease component in the contract individually, and to separately treat them from the non-lease components in the contracts. For leases that include one lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group will use the single comparison price of each lease component and the aggregated single prices of non-lease components as the basis, and distribute the consideration in the contract to the lease component. The comparison single unit price of the lease and non-lease components will be decided upon the prices separately received by the lessor (or supplier) for such components. If observable single unit prices are not readily available, the Group will maximize the use of observable information to estimate their respective single unit prices.

~29~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

The Group is the lessee

Except for leases that meet and select short-term leases or low-value asset leases, when the Group is the lessee of the lease contract, the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized for all leases.

On the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability according to the present value of the lease payments that have yet to be paid on that date. If the lease implied interest rate is easy to determine, the lease payment is discounted according to the said implied interest rate. If the lease implied interest rate is not easy to determine, the incremental loan rate of the lessee shall prevail. On the commencement date, the lease payments included in the lease liability include the following payments relating to the use-of-rights underlying asset in the lease term that is yet to be paid on that date:

  1. Fixed payments (including real fixed payments) net of any collectable lease incentives;
  2. Lease payments depending on the change in an index or expense rate (measured at the index or expense rate on the commencement date);
  3. The lessee's expected payment amount with the residual value guaranteed;
  4. The exercise price of the purchase option, if the Group can reasonably assure that the option will be exercised; and
  5. Penalties that have to be paid upon termination of lease, if the lease tenor reflects the lessee's intent to exercise the termination option.

After the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the amortized cost, increases the book value of the lease liability by the effective interest method, and reflects the interest on the lease liability. The book value of the lease liability is reduced when the lease payment is made.

On the commencement date, the Group measures the right-of-use assets at cost. The cost of the right-of-use assets includes:

  1. Initial measured amount of lease liability;
  2. Any lease payments paid on or before the commencement date, minus any lease incentives received;
  3. Any original direct costs incurred to the lessee; and
  4. The lessee estimates cost of dismantling, removing and restoring to its original location, or to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.

Subsequent measurement of the right-of-use asset is presented at cost net of the accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, that is, the right-of-use

~30~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

asset should be measured at cost.

If the ownership of the underlying assets is transferred to the Group at the end of the lease term, or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise the purchase option, the depreciation of the right-of-use asset is appropriated from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the Group has the depreciation of the right-of-use asset appropriated from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the expiration of the lease term whichever is sooner.

The Group applies IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets" to determine whether the right-of-use asset is with impairment; also, handle the identified impairment losses.

Except for leases that meet and select short-term leases or low-value asset leases, the Group presents the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet, and presents the depreciation expense and interest expense related to the lease separately in the comprehensive income statement.

For short-term leases and low-value asset leases, the Group chooses to have the related lease payments recognized as expenses over the lease period in accordance with the straight-line basis or a systematic basis.

The Group as lessor.

The Group classifies each lease as an operating lease or a finance lease on the contract establishment date. A lease transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset, it is classified as a finance lease; if not transferred, it is classified as an operating lease. The Group recognizes the assets held under finance lease in the balance sheet, and record as finance lease receivable based on the net amount of lease at the commencement date.

For contracts that contain both lease and non-lease components, the Group applies the provision of IFRS 15 to allocate the transaction price in the contract.

The Group recognizes lease payments from operating leases as rental income on a straight-line method or another systematic mode. The rental payments from operating leases that are not dependent on changes in an index or rate are recognized as rental income when they occur.

  1. INTANGIBLE ASSETS

Intangible assets acquired separately are initially measured at cost upon original recognition. The cost of intangible assets acquired through business combinations is the

~31~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

fair value on the acquisition date. Intangible assets, after initial recognition, are measured at their cost less accumulated amortizations and accumulated impairment losses as the carrying amount. Intangible assets internally generated that do not meet the capitalization criteria are recognized in profit or loss.

The useful life of intangible assets are classified into limited and unlimited useful life.

Intangible assets with limited useful life are amortized over their useful life and conduct impairment test whenever there are indications of impairment. The amortization period and methods for intangible assets with limited useful life are reviewed at least at each financial year. If the estimated useful life of an asset is different from the previous estimate or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits has changed, the method of amortization or the period of amortization will be adjusted and treated as a change in accounting estimate.

Intangible assets with unlimited useful life are not amortized, but impairment tests are carried out at the individual asset or cash-generating unit level each financial year. Intangible assets with unlimited useful life are reviewed each period to determine whether events and circumstances continue to support an unlimited useful life for that asset. If the useful life changes from unlimited to limited, the application is deferred.

The gains or losses generated from the derecognition of intangible assets are recognized in profit or loss.

Summary of the accounting policy for intangible assets of the group is as follows:

Computer software
Service Life Limited (5 years)
Method of Amortizations used Amortization is estimated through the straight-line method over the useful life.
Internally generated or externally acquired External acquisition
  1. Impairment of non-financial assets

At the end of every reporting period, the Group will evaluate all assets for indicators of impairment pursuant to IAS 36 "Impairment of Assets". If signs of impairment exist or if regular annual impairment test is required for a certain asset, the Group will test it on the basis of individual assets or the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs. If result of the impairment test indicates that the carrying amount of the asset or the cash generating unit to which the asset belongs is greater than its recoverable amount, impairment loss will be recognized. The recoverable amount is the higher of the net fair value or the value-in-

~32~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

use.

At the end of every reporting period, the Group will evaluate all assets except for goodwill for indicators of whether previously recognized impairment loss no longer exists or has been reduced. If such signs exist, the Group will estimate the recoverable amount of the asset or the cash generating unit. If the estimated service potential of the asset changes, resulting in an increase in the recoverable amount, the impairment will be reversed to profit or loss. However, the carrying amount after reversal shall not exceed the amount of the depreciation or amortization of the asset after deducting the depreciation or amortization.

Impairment loss and reversal of continuing operations will be recognized in profit or loss.

  1. Recognition of revenue

(1) Customer Contract Revenue

The main revenue of the Group from contracts with customers includes sales of goods and rendering of services, the accounting treatments of which are described as follows:

Sales of Goods

The Group manufactures and sells goods, recognizing revenue when the committed goods are delivered to the customer and the customer gains control (i.e., the customer dominates the use and obtains the ability of almost all remaining benefits of the goods), mainly chemicals being sold, with revenue recognized based on the price stated in the contract.

The credit period for the Group's sales transactions is typically between 30 - 90 days. Most contracts recognize accounts receivable when the control of goods is transferred and the right to receive consideration unconditionally is obtained. These accounts receivable are typically short-term and do not have significant financial composition. The provision for bad debts is measured based on the expected credit loss over the life of the asset under IFRS 9.

Rendering of services

The Group's service revenue is primarily derived from providing wastewater treatment services and transportation. According to the contract, the Group charges a processing fee on a monthly basis. The revenue is recognized when the performance

~33~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

obligation is fulfilled, and the wastewater is discharged in compliance with the standards.

(2) Contract Costs Related Assets

Contract Fulfillment Costs

Costs incurred to fulfill a customer contract, if not within the scope of other standards (such as IAS 2 "Inventories," IAS 16 "Property, Plant, and Equipment," or IAS 38 "Intangible Assets"), are recognized as assets by the Group only when the costs are directly related to the contract or identifiable expected contracts, generate or enhance resources that will be used to fulfill (or continue to fulfill) performance obligations, and are expected to be recoverable.

General and administrative costs, costs of wasted materials, labor, or other resources used to fulfill the contract but not reflected in the contract price, costs related to performance obligations that have been (or partially been) satisfied, and costs that cannot be distinguished as related to unsatisfied performance obligations or those that have been (or partially been) satisfied, are recognized as expenses when incurred.

  1. Borrowing costs

The borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets are capitalized as part of the cost of those assets. All other borrowing costs are recognized as expenses during the period in which its occur. Borrowing costs include interest and other costs associated with raising finance.

  1. Retirement benefits plan

The retirement method for employees of the Company and domestic subsidiaries is applicable to all full-time employees. The employee retirement fund is fully appropriated to the Supervisory Committee of Business Entities' Labor Retirement Reserve and deposited in the pension fund account. The aforementioned pension is deposited in the name of the Supervisory Committee of Business Entities' Labor Retirement Reserve, which is completely separated from the Company and domestic subsidiaries, so it is not included in the consolidated financial statements in the preceding paragraph.

For the defined contribution pension plan, the monthly pension payable rate of the Company and domestic subsidiaries shall not be less than 6% of the employee's monthly salary, and the amount of the provision shall be recognized in the profit or loss of the

~34~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

current period.

  1. Share-based payment transaction

The share-based payment transaction cost for equity clearing between the Group and its employees is measured at the fair value on the vesting date of the equity instruments. Fair value is measured by the appropriate pricing model.

The "share-based payment" transaction cost for the equity clearing is recognized on a period-by-period basis during the period in which the service conditions and performance conditions are fulfilled, and the increase in equity is recognized. The cumulative fees recognized for equity clearing transactions at the end of each reporting period prior to the vesting date reflect the process of the vested period and the best estimate of the ultimate vested equity instruments by the Group. The cumulative cost changes recognized for the share-based payment transactions at the beginning and end of each reporting period are recognized in profit or loss for the period.

If the share-based payment is not in compliance with the vested conditions, no expense will be recognized. However, if the vested conditions of the equity clearing transaction are related to the market price condition or the non-vested conditions, when all the service or performance conditions have been fulfilled, the relevant expenses will be recognized regardless of whether the market price condition or the non-vested condition is fulfilled.

When modifying the terms of an equity-settled transaction, at least the original grant-date cost before the modification will be recognized. If the modification of the terms of a share-based payment transaction increases the total fair value of the transaction or is beneficial to the employee, additional equity-settled transaction costs will be recognized.

If an equity-settled share-based payment reward plan is canceled, it is considered fully vested on the cancellation date, and any unrecognized remaining share-based payment expenses will be immediately recognized. This includes awards where non-vesting conditions, which are controllable by the company or employee, have not been met. If a previously canceled reward is replaced by a new reward plan and is confirmed on the grant date to replace the canceled reward plan, the cancellation and the new reward plan will be treated as a modification of the original reward plan.

  1. Income tax

Income tax expense (profit) refers to the aggregated amount of current income tax and deferred income tax that is included in the current profit or loss.

~35~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Current income tax

The current income tax liabilities (assets) related to the current and prior periods are measured at the legislated or substantially legislated tax rates and tax laws at the end of the reporting period. The current income tax related to the items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly recognized in the equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity instead of being recognized in the profit or loss.

The additional business income tax levied on the undistributed earnings is recognized as income tax expense on the date when the distribution of earnings is resolved in the Shareholders' Meeting.

Deferred income tax

The deferred income tax is calculated according to the temporary difference between the taxable amount of assets and liabilities and the book value on the balance sheet at the end of the reporting period.

All taxable temporary differences are recognized as deferred income tax liabilities except for the following two items:

(1) The initial recognition of Goodwill; or assets or liabilities generated from transactions other than business combinations do not affect accounting profit or taxable income (loss) at the time of the transaction, nor generate equal taxable and deductible temporary differences at the time of the transaction.

(2) The taxable temporary differences arising from Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, for which reversal can be controlled and it is probable that the reversal will not occur in the foreseeable future.

Except for the following two items, deductible temporary difference and deferred income tax assets arising from the taxable losses and income tax credit are recognized within the range of probable future taxable income:

(1) Regarding the deductible temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of assets or liabilities from transactions that are not a business combination, it neither affects accounting profit nor taxable income (loss) at the time of transaction, and there are no equal taxable and deductible temporary differences generated at the time of the transaction.

(2) In relation to the deductible temporary differences arising from Investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, these are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

~36~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rate of the expected asset realization or in the period in which the liability is settled. The tax rate is based on the legislated or substantially legislated tax rates and tax laws at the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred income tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences arising from the manner in which the asset is expected to be recovered or the book value of the liability is settled at the end of the reporting period. If the deferred income tax is related to items that are not included in the profit or loss, it will not be recognized in profit or loss, but recognized in other comprehensive income according to the relevant transactions or directly recognized in equity. Deferred income tax assets are re-examined and recognized at the end of each reporting period.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities can be offset against each other legally only in the current period, and the deferred income tax is related to the same taxation entity and is related to the income tax levied by the same taxation authority.

According to the provisions of temporary exception stated in the "International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules (Amendments to IAS 12)", deferred tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes shall not be recognized, and relevant information shall not be disclosed.

V. Main Source of Significant Accounting Judgment, Estimation, and Assumption Uncertainties

When the consolidated financial statements are prepared by the Group, the management must make judgments, estimates, and assumptions at the end of the reporting period, which will affect the disclosure of income, expenses, assets and liabilities, and contingent liabilities. However, the uncertainty of these significant assumptions and estimates may result in a significant adjustment to the book value of an asset or liability in the future period.

Estimation and assumption

The main source of information on the estimation and assumption uncertainties at the end of the reporting period has significant risks that result in significant adjustments to the book value of assets and liabilities in the next financial year. The explanations are given as follows:

(1) Fair value of financial instruments

When the fair value of financial assets and liabilities recognized on the balance sheet cannot be obtained from active markets, the fair value will be determined using valuation techniques, including income approach (such as cash flow discounting model) or market approach. Changes in the assumptions used in these models will affect the reported fair value of financial instruments. Refer to Note (12).

(2) Income tax

~37~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

The uncertainty of income tax exists in the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Due to a wide range of international business relationships and the long-term and complexity of contracts, the differences between actual results and assumptions made, or changes in such assumptions in the future, may cause the booked income tax benefits and expenses to be adjusted in the future. The provision for income tax is based on reasonable estimates made according to the possible audit results of the tax authorities in the countries where the Company operates. The amount appropriated is based on different factors, such as: previous tax audit experience and the difference in tax law interpretation between the tax entity and the tax authority. The differences in the explanation may generate various issues due to the circumstances of the individual locations of the company's businesses.

Deferred tax assets are recognized to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available in the future, or that there are taxable temporary differences within the scope of origination and reversal of temporary differences. The amount of the deferred income tax assets to be recognized is estimated according to the possible timing and level of the future taxable income and taxable temporary difference, and also, the future tax planning strategy.

(3) Accounts Receivable - estimation of provision for bad debts

The Group estimates provision for bad debts for accounts receivables using the expected credit loss over the lifetime, which is measured as the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows receivable under the contract (carrying amount) and the cash flows expected to be received (with the evaluation of forward-looking information). However, the discounting effect of short-term receivables is not significant, and the credit loss is measured by the undiscounted difference. If actual cash flows in the future are less than expected, significant provision for bad debts may arise. Refer to Note 6.

  1. Financial Risk Management Objectives and Policies

The primary goal of the Group's financial risk management is to manage market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk related to operational activities. Based on the company's policies and risk appetite, the Group identifies, measures, and manages these risks.

The Group has established appropriate policies, procedures, and internal controls for the aforementioned financial risk management in accordance with relevant regulations. Significant financial activities must be reviewed by the Board of Directors in compliance with relevant regulations and internal control systems. During the execution of financial management activities, the Group must strictly comply with the established regulations of financial risk management.

  1. Market Risk

The market risk of the Group refers to the risk of fluctuations in the fair value or cash flow

~64~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

of financial instruments due to changes in market prices. The market risk mainly includes interest rate risk and other price risks.

In practice, it is rare for a single risk variable to change independently, and the changes in each risk variables are typically correlated. However, the sensitivity analysis of the following risks does not consider the interactive effects of related risk variables.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that changes in market interest rates lead to fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flows of financial instruments. The main sources of interest rate risk for the group are fixed-rate borrowings and floating-rate borrowings.

The Group maintains an appropriate mix of fixed and floating interest rates, and uses interest rate swap contracts to manage interest rate risk.

The sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk mainly targets interest rate exposure items as of the financial reporting period-end, including floating rate investments and floating rate borrowings. It assumes holding for one accounting year. If the interest rate increases/decreases by 10%, the impact on the group's profit or loss for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024 will be a decrease/increase of NT$268 thousand and NT$111 thousand, respectively.

Equity price risk

The Group holds equity securities of publicly listed companies, and their fair value may be affected by the uncertainty of the future value of these investment targets. The equity securities held by the Group are classified as financial instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss. The Group manages equity price risk through diversification of investments and by setting limits for both individual and overall equity investments. The portfolio information of equity securities must be regularly provided to the senior management of the Group, and all decisions on equity securities investments must be reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors.

For equity securities of publicly listed companies measured at fair value through profit or loss, if the price of these securities increases/decreases by 1%, the impact on the group's profit or loss for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024 will be an increase/decrease of NT$495 thousand and NT$495 thousand, respectively.

4. Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss due to the counterparty's failure to fulfill the

~65~


Ping Ho Environmental Technology Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements (Continued)

(All amounts are in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, unless otherwise stated)

obligations stipulated in the contract. The credit risk of the Group is due to operation activities (mainly accounts receivable and bills) and financial activities (mainly bank deposits and various financial instruments).

Each unit of the Group follows the policies, procedures, and controls to manage credit risk. The credit risk assessment of all counterparties comprehensively considers counterparty's financial condition, credit rating by credit rating agencies, past trading experience, current economic environment, and the internal rating standards of the Group. The Group also uses certain credit enhancement tools (such as advance sales receipts and insurance, etc.) at appropriate times to reduce the credit risk of specific transaction counterparts.

As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, receivables from the Group's top ten customers accounted for 63.21% and 64.63% of the total receivables of the Group, respectively, with no credit concentration risk related to accounts receivable.

The finance unit of the Group manages the credit risk of cash in banks and other financial instruments in accordance with the company's policy. As the counterparties of the Group are determined by internal control processes and are organizations with good credit, there is no significant credit risk.

The Group adopts IFRS 9 to assess expected credit losses. Except for receivables, which are measured for provision for bad debts based on expected credit losses over the lifetime, the rest of the debt instrument investments not measured at fair value through profit or loss are primarily purchased with the premise of low credit risk, and credit risk was used as the basis for grouping the investments. On each statement of financial position date, it assesses whether the credit risk has significantly increased since the initial recognition to determine the method and loss rate of measuring the expected credit loss.

The Group written off financial assets when it determines that it is unlikely to be recoverable (for example, significant financial difficulties of the issuer or debtor, or bankruptcy).

  1. Liquidity risk management

The Group maintains financial flexibility through contracts such as cash and cash equivalents and bank loans. The table below summarizes the maturity of the contractually obligated payments of the Group's financial liabilities, prepared on the basis of the earliest possible date on which repayment may be required and their undiscounted cash flows, including agreed-upon interest amounts. The cash flow of interest paid at a floating rate, the undiscounted amount of interest is derived based on the yield curve at the end of the reporting period.

  1. Fair value of financial instruments

(1) The Valuation Technique and assumptions adopted for measuring the Fair Value.

The fair value is the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The methods and assumptions used by the Group to measure or disclose the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities are as follows:

A. The carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payables, and other current liabilities are reasonable approximations of their fair values, mainly due to the short maturity of these instruments.

B. The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities that are traded in an active market and have standard terms and conditions is determined by referring to market quotes (for example, listed stocks, beneficiary certificates, bonds, and futures etc.).

C. The fair value of investments in debt-class instruments with no active market, bank loans, bonds payable, and other non-current liabilities is determined based on quotes from counterparties or valuation techniques. The valuation techniques are mainly based on discounted cash flow analysis, and assumptions such as interest rates and discount rates mainly refer to relevant information of similar instruments (like curve of reference yield rates from Over The Counter (OTC) market, average quoted rates of commercial paper from Reuters, and credit risk information).

(2) Fair Value of Financial Instruments Measured at Amortized Cost

Except for the carrying amounts of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, accounts payables, and other current liabilities, which are reasonable approximations of fair value, the fair value of other financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost is presented as follows:

(3) Information Related to the Fair Value Level of Financial Instruments

Refer to Note (12).9 for the fair value hierarchy information of the Group's financial instruments.

  1. Derivatives

The Group has identified embedded derivatives from issuing convertible corporate bonds, which have been separated from the host contract and processed as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. For details on this contract transaction, please refer to Note (6).

  1. Fair value hierarchy

(1) Definition of Fair Value Level

All assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value are classified within the fair value hierarchy based on the lowest level of inputs that are significant to the entire measurement of their fair value. Inputs for each level are as follows:

Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) for identical assets or liabilities in an active market available on the measurement date.

Level 2: Assets or liabilities for which there are directly or indirectly observable inputs, excluding those included in Level 1.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities.

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a repetitive basis, the classification is re-evaluated at the end of each reporting period to determine whether there is a transfer between the fair value levels.

(2) Level information of fair value measurement

The Group does not have non-recurring assets measured at fair value. The fair value hierarchy information for recurring assets and liabilities is presented as follows:
