One. A report to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen,

In recent years, the global economic environment has been under the combined influence of major factors such as the spread and control of the pandemic, de-risking of the US-China relationship, and inflation, which have posed huge obstacles and challenges to corporate operations. Prudent and conservative approaches should be taken to overcome the obstacles. At the beginning of 2023, under the expectation that the pandemic would gradually subside and countries would start to lift restrictions and boosting their economies, a gradual recovery was anticipated. However, with the ongoing stalemate over the Russo-Ukrainian War, the FED's interest rate hikes and high interest rates, plus the weaker-than-expected post-pandemic economic recovery in Mainland China, consumer product customers have become more conservative and have lost the incentive to pull in goods. This has put the overall supply chain under the pressure of declining revenues.

The Company's consumer product business also declined due to the impact of the overall industry. However, in the automotive product market in mainland China, the doubling of customer shipments has driven the significant increase in revenue of the Company's automotive wiring harnesses, which compensated for some of the decline in revenue, and with the supply chain flexibility adjustment, the revenue in Southeast Asia has maintained a growth trend, and the Company's overall annual consolidated revenue has only dropped slightly. Moreover, the Company insisted on the transformation and upgrade strategy, increased the proportion of high-margin products, and maintained the annual gross profit margin. However, due to the decrease in revenue and profitability, the final net income showed a slight decline. In the future, the Company will continue to adhere to the goal of profitable growth and make prudent decisions to create greater benefits and share operating results with all stakeholders.

2023 Annual Operating Results:

  • (I) Business plan implementation result: The Company's 2023 consolidated revenue was NT$25.6 billion, a slight decline of 2.4% from the NT$26.3 billion in 2022, and the net income after tax was NT$1.49 billion, a decline of 4.9 % from 1.57 billion NT$in 2022, with earnings per share of NT$2.42.

  • (II) Budget implementation status: The Company did not release a financial forecast in 2023, but all departments have actively implemented the internal annual budget and strictly controlled expenses to create profits and give back to shareholders.

(IV) R&D Status

In order to enhance the Company's competitive edge and meet customers' needs for technology upgrades, the Company continues to expand its R&D team and invests in automated equipment to improve product quality and reduce production costs. In response to the business opportunities of new energy vehicles, the Company actively develops new products such as EV vehicle wiring harness, high-voltage (battery pack) wiring harness, high-frequency high-speed wiring harness, charging gun wiring harness, HDI multi-layer board and automotive PCB to expand the product line and Company revenues. In addition, the Company also actively develops new products for other industries, including connecting wires, devices (automotive low-voltage harnesses, high-voltage cable for EVs, medical instrument cables, etc.), PCBs (automotive optoelectronic boards, workstations, Mining Machine PCB, etc.), and electronic consumer products (medical consumables, WiFi 6 for 5G routers, Charger Inlet, etc.) to maintain our competitive edge in the market. This year, we spent a total of NT$0.48 billion in R&D, an increase of 15%. In the future, we will continue to invest 1-2% (approximately NT$400-500 million) of annual total revenue in R&D resources and gradually increase the proportion of investment.

Summary of the 2024 Business Plan

The Company's business strategy will still be aimed at expanding automotive customers

~2~

and increasing the proportion of revenue. However, the geopolitical competition and cooperation are fierce and conflicts continue, and the trade disputes and restrictions between the U.S. and China will become more and more stringent. These will push up the prices of crude oil and raw materials, and contribute to the increase in production costs; coupled with the deterioration of cross-strait relations and the Taiwan presidential election, the interaction of various factors make the economic trend of the macro environment, unpredictable and unpredictable, and increase the operational risk. As if walking on thin ice, the Company will make prudent decisions and be careful every step of the way. In order to enhance the competitiveness of automotive products, the Company will expand its sales and R&D team, while at the same time continuing to strengthen its operating resilience in order to gradually increase revenues and profits. In response to the carbon neutrality issue, we have completed the initial inventory and will continue to verify the carbon emissions, formulate energy-saving solutions, and plan the carbon-neutral path to achieve the goal. In addition, we will complete our ESG targets one after another, obtain external certification and to enhance the Company's positive corporate social responsibility image. Based on the above business strategy plan, the Company will establish the following annual operating guidelines:

(I) Business Policy:

  1. Maintain the revenue growth of automotive products, explore new customers and develop new products to enhance the Company's competitive edge in the automotive market.

  2. Strictly control AR and inventory positions, enhance the flexibility of capital allocation, and improve resilience in the face of risks and as a going concern.

  3. Achieve the ESG-goals set, fulfill social responsibilities, and adhere to the sustainable operation of the Company.

(II) Production and Sale Policy:

  1. Actively strive for new energy vehicle customers, increase the revenue of new energy vehicle wiring harness products, and improve the Company's gross profit and net profit.

  2. Seek acquisitions, expand business opportunities in EV and ICT products through cross-industry alliances or joint ventures, and increase product breadth to maintain stable revenue growth.

  3. Improve the flexibility of the supply chain, and flexibly use the production and logistics resources of each plant to meet the needs of customers and avoid the risk of

~3~

transfer to orders.

  1. Strictly control the exposure of AR and inventory, coordinate the use of cash of each legal entity, and maintain liquidity to improve the ability to face risks and enhance the resilience of going concern.

  2. Plan carbon emission verification and energy-saving solutions, formulate carbon neutrality paths and implementation plans for each plant, and complete carbon reduction targets at various stages in order to achieve carbon neutrality.

  3. Actively achieve ESG annual policy objectives, invest resources, fulfill corporate social responsibility, and lay the foundation for sustainable business operations.

Impacts from the competitive environment, regulatory environment and general business environment:

In the past two years, the overall global economic environment has been affected by various factors such as intensified geopolitical competition, the life expectancy of some consumer electronics products has reached a plateau, supply chain flexibility and competition, gradual formation of regional alliances, and increasingly stringent carbon emission regulations. Under the same environment, the business operations are faced with different difficulties and challenges. In the face of adversity, the Company has strengthened internal training to enhance the risk awareness and competitiveness of its employees. Externally, the Company has worked hard to develop new businesses and increased the proportion of high-margin products, striving to minimize the negative image of the operating environment caused by external factors so as to maintain its annual revenues and profitability.

The Prospect

Business opportunities have derived from the global fight against climate change and the requirement for carbon neutrality. New products such as EV, green energy, and energy storage batteries will create new industry opportunities. The Company will take a proactive approach to grasp market trends and quickly launch the relevant parts and components products, aiming to expand the market share in this emerging industry and create profits. In the face of future business difficulties and challenges, the Company will maintain the business philosophy of honesty and integrity, make prudent decision-making and respond quickly, and improve its competitiveness and business resilience. For the issues of concern to all stakeholders, we will also establish various key indicators and respond to their demands, in order to establish an image

~4~

of integrity management and fulfill our corporate social responsibility. We look forward to working hard with all employees to achieve our goals and share our business results with all stakeholders. I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all shareholders.

May I wish all the Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen

Good health and good luck

Chairman Kuang-Ya Lee

We also take into account the principle of gender equality and the opportunity for women to participate in decision-making and management, actively search for suitable female candidates, form a nomination list of suitable candidates for directors, and submit them to shareholders for election.

The Company has established 7 seats of Directors for its Board in accordance with the Articles of Incorporation of which 4 seats were reserved for Independent Directors with tenure of 3 years. The candidate nomination system was adopted for the election of the

~16~

Directors and the candidates on the list will be elected by the Shareholders Meeting to the seats. Directors may assume a new term of office if reelected. The Company has taken liability insurance to protect the Directors within the scope of their assigned duties.

The members of the current Board of Directors were elected in the shareholders' meeting in June 2023, and the term of office is from June 9, 2023 to June 8, 2026. Directors who are also employees accounted for 57%, while independent directors accounted for only 14% of the total seats of directors. 3 of the independent directors have seniority of service of less than 3 years, 1 independent director with a term of 3 to 6 years, only one director is between the ages of 60 and 70. The rest of the directors are under the age of 60, accounting for 86% and achieving the goal of rejuvenating the Board of Directors. In the re-election of the Board of Directors, the principle of gender equality is given priority, and two qualified candidates for female directors and other male directors are nominated for the diversity of directors, cross-industry and business development strategies. All the candidates for directors are nominees, who were successfully elected. The proportion of female directors in the Board of Directors has reached 29%, exceeding the Company's target of 15%. There are also accountants, lawyers, university professors and other talent who will contribute to the future development and supervision of the Company and open up new opportunities.

(II) Independence of the board of directors:

There are four independent directors in the Company's Board of Directors, accounting for more than half, or 57%; more than 86% of directors are not also employees of the company. According to the statements of directors and the results of the Company's inspection results, there is no spousal relationship or relative within the second-degree kinship between the directors, so the Board of Directors is independent.

The Company's independent directors shall be appointed according to their declaration and the Company’s qualification checklist when they are elected. All four independent directors meet the relevant independence standards.

The new plant in Taiwan has complied with the government's green building regulations, and the office
decoration will also take green standards and ergonomics into account, so as to build a friendly environment
and an employee-friendly workplace environment. Moreover, the Company continues cooperating with the
gift-giving network by initiating the “Love Box” campaign by recycling and gifting second-hand items for
donation. Employees contribute items from home that they no longer use and donate them to social welfare
groups and schools in rural areas for those in need through the network platform to maximize the use of
resources. A total of 613 items were donated in 2023, reducing 440Kg of waste, and 907Kg of carbon
emissions.
Social aspects: The Company has frequently provided gifts to disadvantaged groups in the community and
adheres to caring for the disadvantaged and aiding the impoverished. The following are the relevant
giving-back activities planned for 2023.
1. Donation of NT$200,000 to Genesis Social Welfare Foundation to support vulnerable social groups.
2. Donation of NT$100,000 to Disasters Rescue Association for helping disaster rescue and relief.
3. Donation of NT$100,000 to Mennonite Christian Hospital for helping the medical and long-term care
in rural areas.
4. Donation of NT$80,000 to the New Taipei City Friends of Police office in Xindian and the Anhe police

Corporate governance: In the re-election of directors this year, independent directors held four of the seven
directors, or 57%. Only one employee of the Company concurrently served as a director, or 14%, to establish
the independence of the Board. Female directors held two seats of the seven directors, or 29%, which
improves the gender ratio. Moreover, the current Board has been equipped with professional talent to
achieve the goal of diversity. The Board of Directors has appointed a new president, who is not served by
the chairman. By doing this, we establish the separation of supervision and management powers to keep
powers and responsibilities in line. We have also established a Nomination Committee to find suitable talent
for future director candidates. At the same time, we will organize succession plans, train our senior
executives,and establishpromotionpaths to laythe foundation for sustainable operation.

implementation results have been submitted to the Board as the basis
for future response strategies. Currently, the plan is for the
Sustainability Committee to regularly report the climate risks faced
by Pan-International to the Board of Directors, along with the
countermeasures. By doing this, the Board of Directors can fully
supervise the climate risk issues, and then decide on the relevant
management policies and review the implementation. In 2023, the
Company cooperated with Weathernews Taiwan Ltd. to conduct a
flood risk analysis for two key plants, and informed them of the
possible future climate and financial risks. Based on this risk policy,
future countermeasures have been formulated, which will be

  • (II) Industry Overview

  • Cables and Connectors

    • (1) The cables and connectors produced by the Company are primarily used in computers

~81~

as well as their peripheral equipment and network communication systems. Therefore, the product growth is in synch with the development of personal computers, peripherals, and mobile communications related products. The Company intends to use its existing cable manufacturing technology to enter and cultivate the niche industries such as automotive/medical/industrial/cloud server as well as other components and modules required by the market in order to raise the product technology content threshold.

  • (2) In light of the global climate changes and energy resource reduction, there has been increased international concerns about environmental protection and energy conservation. Despite the automotive chip shortage problems for global new energy vehicles during the epidemic period, it is still expected to show strong sales strength in the future. Moreover, governments of various nations have also set production suspension targets for pure gas vehicles, introduced related industrial policies for the electric vehicle industry, and offered supplementary benefits. These efforts will significantly strengthen the development of the new energy vehicle market. The future popularization of electric vehicles will also directly drive a large demand for charging equipment. The demand for high-voltage lines and charging cables for electric vehicles will also gradually grow.

  • (3) In the first half of 2023, the sales volume of self-owned car manufacturers in China has reached 53.7%, an increase of 8.6% from the same period in 2022. The era of joint venture automakers in China in the past is gradually waning. Passenger cars of selfowned brand in China are also being exported. The overall market for automotive wiring harnesses will grow due to the increase in car exports from China until the second half of 2023.

  • (4) Vehicle safety, entertainment, and smart user environment have become increasingly popular regardless of new energy or traditional fuel vehicles. Automotive electronics and systems have gradually moved towards high-definition screens and camera lenses in order to meet drivers’ and passengers' demands. Many signals and data transmitted by the equipment must meet the high-speed transmission and response requirements, and the corresponding wires and connectors must also meet the high-frequency and high-speed transmission specifications. More and more high-end automotive sensors and antennas are also demanding stricter product specifications for high-speed transmission and delay-free response. In addition to connectors, wires are the focus of the regulation.

  • (5) From the beginning phase, the number specifications of the charging equipment for electric vehicles were substantial, but gradually they were integrated into a single standard. Internationally unified standards such as CCS2 and NACS are gradually

~82~

taking shape. High-voltage wiring products with large square meters have also gradually evolved and developed, and new products such as copper and aluminum bars have progressively emerged in the high-voltage power system.

  • (6) In Southeast Asian countries, motorcycles are the main means of transportation. Under the subsidy policies of many local governments, the rise of electric motorcycles has slowly eroded the market for traditional diesel motorcycles, and also driven the development of electric motorcycle chargers and wiring harnesses. Due to the small battery capacity of electric motorcycles, small high-voltage household travel chargers are the main focus. All electric motorcycle manufacturers have similar specifications, except for the appearance of the charger and the connector, which will develop in the direction of single gauge increase.

  • (7) The scale for medical materials is expected to reach US$400 billion globally in 2022 mainly due to the medical expenditure growth, health awareness increase, and the aging population phenomenon. Surgery materials, infection control, cardiovascular applications, general medical materials, and home care supplies will make up the bulk of the main medical materials market. Hospital surgery and infection control are related to life survival, and the price can always maintain an advantage. Medical products must comply with local regulations before they reach the market. If the products have applied for licenses in the European and American markets previously, it would pose a major advantage for expanding into other markets. However, the North American market has been pursuing the trend of TAA regulations in the past two years, and many manufacturing opportunities will gradually be transferred to countries with TAA conditions for production.

  • (8) The global health care expenditure has continued to rise, and it is anticipated to exceed US$15 trillion by 2030. Moreover, with the advancements in digital technologies, the development of AI and 5G technologies, the lack of human resources in the care industry, and the demands for precision diagnosis; the development of smart health is accelerating. The integration of medical and digital technology industries has become a new market trend. The Company's medical equipment and electronic components have increased integration. Many electronic foundries are designing medical equipment with component manufacturers in an attempt to stay ahead of the digital health development trend. This is especially true during the AI era, where Big Data analysis and prediction in the medical field can create huge business opportunities in the digital electronics industry.

The development of Class III medical equipment such as heart rate regulators and defibrillators have continued to accelerate. The United States produces a large number of Class III medical equipment every year. The production line and product assurance

~83~

test have 50 steps and 80 components at every turn. Some components are even too small to be held by human hands. According to a Med Device Online report, Class III medical devices and their manufacturing processes must comply with the strict U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) regulations. This must rely on automated production line management, and inventory control also poses a major challenge. Industry 4.0 technology includes machine-to-machine (M2M) communication, cyber physical system (CPS), and Cloud computing in order to overcome such production challenges via high-level automation. The law requires third-level medical device manufacturers to provide a device history record (DHR) for each device, including a bill of materials (BOM), an approved manufacturers list (AML), and manufacturing processes. The DHR will also record the part number, serial number, date code, manufacturing date, and test results for equipment and parts. In addition to recording these data, the manufacturer must also ensure that the manufacturing process complies with the device master record (DMR). The scanner is installed in the manufacturing equipment and can communicate with the manufacturing execution system (MES) via the Cloud to ensure that only the parts mentioned in the DMR are assembled. The scanner uploads the part number, serial number, and date code to the electronic DHR; records all of the medical equipment manufacturing and testing processes one by one; and the test results are uploaded to the Cloud MES system for instant easy query. Some parts of the Class III medical equipment must reach a precision of 0.5mm or less and a dimensional tolerance of 10um. At this time, the high-quality vision system is used to check the parts as well as confirm the size and direction. The vision system will also communicate with special machinery and equipment to assist in the correct handling and placement of parts. The parts are originally stored in the warehouse, and they need to be replenished when the inventory is low. Therefore, inventory management is also critical. In the past, inventory management was manually processed and entered into the enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. However, with the advent of Industry 4.0 technology, inventory management has changed from manual to automation thanks to the machine-to-cloud communication, which can facilitate real-time inventory control.

(9) The Universal Serial Bus (USB) Type-C interface is facing revolutionary changes brought by consumer electronics applications. As the data to be transferred becomes increasingly larger, the USB specification is still evolving, and the speed of USB3.1 has been increased to 10 Gbps in the newer generation computers. USB 3.2 also doubles the speed of USB 3.1 Gen2 to reach 20 Gbps. Other than that, there is no difference from the USB 3.1 specification. But USB 4.0 is totally different. Intel is vigorously promoting the Thunderbolt3 technology, which allows multiple devices to

~84~

be connected in series and eventually achieves a total bandwidth of 40 Gbps (twice that of USB3.2). Meanwhile, this interface (wire) can also transmit display signals simultaneously as well as over 100 W of electricity. At present, the USB4.0 specification directly copies this protocol, which means that while USB4.0 can double the transmission speed of USB3.2 to 40 Gbps, it also has the same interface/line video data and power transmission capabilities. USB4.0 uses a USB type-C interface. This new generation USB peripheral transfer protocol can support the highest transmission rate of 40 Gbps (or higher transmission rate) while transmitting display port video signal (for video output) and provide USB PD fast charging (for fast charging). It is essentially Intel's Thunderbolt3 technology, but it also supports the USB protocol. So it is perfectly backward compatible with Thunderbolt3, USB3.2, USB3.1, and USB2.0 protocols. As the USB organization will officially incorporate the Thunderbolt3 specification into USB 4.0, it is estimated that this protocol may be officially released around the year 2020. In general, the official release of USB 3.2 and USB 4.0 have significantly promoted the development of widely used high-speed interfaces, making data transfer and copying ever more convenient. It is foreseeable that when USB 3.2 and even USB 4.0 become the mainstream interface, the era of "one universal interface" is upon us, and displays will only need one cable to complete the power and signal transmission, which will make the people's lives significantly more convenient.

(10) HDMI transmission cables are commonly used for the audio and video transmission of consumer audio and video products such as TVs, computers, video players, and other video streaming devices. An HDMI transmission line carries both video and audio signals, and ensures that the video and audio signals will not attenuate during transmission. High-definition video has gradually become the mainstream TV and video standard, and HDMI has also taken advantage of this trend to release the latest HDMI 2.1 version standard and announce the official arrival of the 4K and 8K era. Due to the latest HDMI development as well as future video trends and as high-quality video gradually becomes the mainstream standard, the data transmission specifications of the past may no longer meet future demands. At the beginning of 2017, the HDMI forum INC. announced a new audio-visual standard and officially released the HDMI 2.1 specification prior to the end of 2017. In addition to the significant increase in image data transmission speed, the new HDMI 2.1 specification also includes the addition of Dynamic HDR specifications. In the future, the depth of field, detail, and brightness of images can be improved to display with a wider color gamut; and vertical depth and dynamic HDR are added to the visual effect in order to achieve a better 3D effect. In the future, 10K/5K images will also be considered. This means that the new era of 10K/5K for consumer audio and video is formally upon us.

~85~

  • (11) Cat6a network cable can support a frequency bandwidth of up to 500MHz, which is twice that of a Cat6 network cable. Cat7 network cable can support a frequency bandwidth of up to 600MHz as well as 10GBASE-T Ethernet, and can significantly reduce crosstalk noise. In response to the future 5G transmission speed and bandwidth requirements, the demand for Cat6a/Cat7 will gradually increase.

  • Electronic Manufacturing Service

  • (1) Today’s consumer demands are changing with each passing day. Industry competition is becoming increasingly fierce, technological innovation is accelerating, and product cycles are becoming shorter. In order to speed up product launches, seize the market, and reduce production costs; many companies worldwide have increasingly relied on professional electronic manufacturing services (EMS) companies to provide global manufacturing and service OEMs. under the support of EMS factories, the original manufacturers can focus on the professional R&D, marketing, and sales. In addition, many products today require a high degree of customization, and customers have a low amount/diversified demands. So, it is necessary to maintain a moderate degree of flexibility in addition to ensure strict quality assurance.

  • (2) Due to global geopolitical changes, the opportunities for global manufacturing and service OEMs are slowly moving from China or Taiwan to Southeast Asian countries for development. The relocated industries are based on low-end OEMs due to customer requirements and lower demand for the supply chain level. The assembly industry is the main business. Many mid-to-high-end semi-finished products are produced in China and the finished products are sent to be assembled in Vietnam and other Southeast Asian countries. There is also a trend for US-based customers to transfer technology from domestic plants to overseas for direct production in Thailand or Malaysia. However, the competition with the Chinese supply chain seems hard to avoid, as Chinese manufacturers have also moved to Southeast Asian countries to set up branch factories or branches.

  • (3) Among the many technologies that can promote smart consumption, Beacon has become one of the most eye-catching technologies. Beacon refers to the creation of a signal zone via the Bluetooth low energy technology to provide accurate field information for mobile device APPs and generate different virtual/real interactive experiences. At present, the application areas include smart consumer applications such as consumer interaction or sales marketing solutions. Its customer base includes different industries such as air transportation, finance, retail, entertainment, sports, and exhibitions. Another Beacon application is in the field of smart IoT such as smart meeting rooms/door locks, inspection systems, or people and object tracking. Its customer base includes semiconductors, traditional manufacturing, and health care

~86~

industries. Beacon is like a small base station. It will be covered by the Beacon signal as long as it is within a radius of 30 meters from the Beacon. Consumers will be detected as long as they enter this range, and users can actively push various messages to consumers within range. The message type can be text, image, video, web page, etc. The Company’s strategic partners have comprehensive IoT & Big Data analysis solutions. The designed product sensor/beacon can be applied to Cloud-connected enterprises or retail IoT. This Cloud solution can help companies to extract, analyze, and aggregate data from millions of events.

  • (4) The Internet of Things (IoT) not only has huge market potential, it also contains a wide range of technology applications. The MGI report shows that starting from 2025, the Internet of Things will generate an output value of US$3.9 trillion to 11.1 trillion in 9 environments such as factories, retail, and cities. The number of Internet of Things devices is estimated to grow to 75.4 billion. This is equivalent to an increase of 127 IoT devices every second worldwide starting in 2020. The Internet of Things (IoT) is driving a new revolution in the industry that covers a wide range of fields such as the Internet of Vehicles, medical care, communications, smart manufacturing, and smart homes.

  • (5) The next wave of the home networking revolution is smart home appliances. In the future, lamps, air conditioners, refrigerators, kettles, and other home appliances controlled by smart routers may be connected to the Internet; which mean the full blossom of the IoT era. In the next 4 years, each household will increase from an average of 9 connected devices to an average of 29 connected devices. Smart homes provide important fuel to drive the IoT. Strategy Analytics predicted that global consumer spending on smart-home related devices is expected to drop from US$52 billion in 2019 to US$44 billion in 2020 due to the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020. However, Strategy Analytics believes that this market will rebound in 2021, and reach US$62 billion in consumer spending during 2021. However, image transmission is also an important aspect of smart home applications. In the IoT era, smart home cameras are no longer just cameras, but have become intelligent "eyes" that can think individually. They are used for smart doorbell, children, or anti-theft monitoring; and have a certain degree of importance. Based on the current development trend, smart home demands will drive approximately over 20% of growth each year. Europe and the United States have the strongest growth momentum, and the growth rate will be even faster after the demand from emerging countries catches on in the future.

  • (6) The evolution of vehicle electrification and intelligentization has also brought the IoT applications into the vehicle transportation field and enabled the "Internet of Vehicles" to flourish. The objective is to connect vehicle information and mobile networks using

~87~

technologies such as satellite positioning, sensors, electronic tags, wireless network communications, and data processing. The system can effectively identify and transmit static and dynamic vehicle, pedestrian, and road environment related information; and gather the data on the back-end platform for smart management and services. The system is also commonly used in traffic safety, traffic services, city management, logistics, and transportation in addition to providing driver-related information. The development of the Internet of Vehicles has promoted the evolution of in-vehicle systems, and directly triggered the demand increase for automotive electronics in vehicles and on the roadside. Automotive market rebound, electrification, and intelligentization will become the three main forces to drive the steady growth for automotive electronics. They will also provide an explosion of business opportunities for the back-end automotive electronic module manufacturing and assembly industries.

  • (7) The global impacts of COVID-19 has rearranged the companies’ operating environments and recovery. The industrial control market may grow slightly. The industrial control market includes different types of control products and tools as well as the corresponding electronic control components and modules. The number of PCBA used for industrial control will also develop upwards as more complex control functions appear. Still, after the out-of-stock demand caused by the pandemic, the demand in the industrial control market has remained flat or declined depending on the macro environment.

  • PCB Industry Overview

A printed circuit board (PCB) refers to a printed board that forms point-to-point connections and printed components according to a predetermined design on a general substrate. Its main function is to enable various electronic components to create a predetermined circuit connection and relay transmission and is one of the main components for all electronic products. So, it is also called the "mother of electronic products." The PCB industry is the foundation of the electronic information industry and is indispensable to electronic products. Its downstream application fields are extensive and cover various social and economic fields such as communications, industrial control, medical, aerospace, automotive electronics, and computers. Its production cycle is less affected by a single industry, and is adjusted mainly based on the fluctuations of the macro economy and the overall development of the electronic information industry.

(1) PCB Global Market:

The Prismark report pointed out that the PCB market declined severely in 2023, and the demand in many areas was weak. For PCs, mobile phones, TVs and other fields, factors such as demand, overcapacity, and falling prices have led to a significant decline

~88~

in production value. Only products related to AI, automotive, and some netcom equipment performed relatively well in 2023.

Prismark predicted that, from the current situation, the price decline (especially the HDI price decline is very large), overcapacity, insufficient demand and future uncertainty will generally continue into 2024, but will enter its final stage. It is worth noting that the application of AI in 2023 brought tremendous changes to the industry. In 2024, the trend of AI will continue and its influence will continue to expand. In the first half of 2024, the outlook of the industry is generally conservative, and there will not be obvious signs of recovery in some product areas. However, everyone is more optimistic about the second half of 2024, which is generally considered to be better than 2023.

The global PCB output value and growth rate from 2019 to 2024 are shown in the figure below:

From the perspective of product type, the global market of printed circuit boards is mainly concentrated in the main product types of single-sided PCB, double-sided PCB, multi-layer PCB, HDI, packaging substrate, and flexible boards. In the global printed circuit board market, rigid boards still dominate the market, and single-sided, double-sided and multi-layer PCBs are classified as rigid boards. Among them, in 2022, the market share of rigid boards was the largest, reaching about 50%, of which multilayer boards accounted for 40%, and single/double-sided boards accounted for 10%. Flexible boards ranked second, accounting for 18% of the market share. HDI boards and packaging substrates followed closely, accounting for 14% and 17% of the market share respectively.

With the vigorous development of technology in the electronic circuit industry, electronic products have more prominent requirements for high-density PCB. In the

~89~

next five years, driven by the data processing center, the package substrates and multilayer boards will grow rapidly. Different types of PCB correspond to different downstream products. As can be seen from the following table, paper substrates are commonly used in consumer electronics and automotive electronics. Composite substrates are commonly used in consumer electronics. Multilayer boards can be applied to a wider range, and the downstream application products are also different depending on the number of components. HDI boards are commonly used in personal computers and mobile phones due to its compact nature.

(2) PCB industry chain:

The PCB industry is in the middle of the overall industrial chain. The upstream comprises various raw materials for the production of PCB, such as copper foil, resin, glass fiber cloth, ink, and other chemical materials. The midstream is mainly PCB manufacturing, and the downstream mostly applies to computers, communication equipment, industrial control, automotive electronics, consumer electronics, aerospace, and a wide range of other fields. The printed circuit board industry chain is relatively long, and the relationship between upstream and downstream is shown in the figure

The development of upstream and downstream industries is interrelated and mutually supporting to the PCB industry. On the one hand, a good development momentum for the PCB upstream and downstream industries can lay the foundation of growth for the PCB industry. The downstream industries would continue to demand stricter requirements for higher system integration and performance from PCB products, which will push PCB products to evolve and upgrade towards the direction of "lighter, shorter, thinner, and smaller." On the other hand, technological innovations of the PCB industry make it possible for upstream and downstream industries to create product innovations and thereby satisfy the needs of the end market.

(2) Electronic Manufacturing Service

According to the forecast by Technology Forecasters, the EMS market is growing rapidly at a compound annual growth rate of 7% each year. The service items offered by general EMS providers are divided 3 main categories: printed circuit board assembly, semi-finished product assembly, and system assembly. As the electronics industry has a tendency to gradually outsource part or all of the manufacturing processes, the service contents provided by the electronic manufacturing service industry have become more diversified. EMS providers provide serves to a wide range of electronic products from network communications to computer peripherals, from medical equipment to mobile phones, and from motherboards to notebook computers. EMS providers accepts commissions from clients to provide professional production and process services in accordance with actual production needs.

~95~

In the future, EMS manufacturers will no longer simply provide manufacturing foundry and must be flexible in order to provide integrated service functions, including:

  • (a) Rapid technical solutions: Assist customers in solving technical problems from concept, product molding, to mass production.

  • (b) Effective supply chain integration: Establish a procurement and logistics center to obtain low-cost and high-quality components, prevent raw material shortage, accelerate inventory turnover, and increase capacity utilization to ensure rapid delivery to clients.

  • (3) PCB Products

In the terminal application of PCB, communication electronics, automotive and consumer electronics have become the three major PCB application fields. The future development of each application is explained as follows:

In terms of communication electronics, the continuous development of 5G communication drives the long-term and stable development of the PCB market. The 5G environment drives the demand for PCB to increase. The PCB demand in the communication field is divided into communication equipment and mobile terminals. The PCB demand for communication equipment mainly includes multi-layer boards. The PCB demand for mobile terminals mainly includes HDI boards, flexible boards and packaging substrates. The development of emerging businesses accelerates, from which high-frequency and high-speed PCB boards benefit significantly. Entering the 5G era, the number of communication frequency bands has increased, and the requirements for parameters, such as transmission rate and dielectric loss, are higher. The application frequency of regular copper clad laminates is below 1GHz, while 5G communication equipment requires the communication frequency to reach 5GHz or above 20GHz, and the theoretical transmission rate to reach 10-20Gbps. The requirements for PCB are greatly raised, and 5G PCB process technology is moving towards space-saving, high heat dissipation, high frequency, and high-speed development. As the range of 5G applications expands, business applications such as

~96~

mobile high-definition video, vehicle-to-everything, and AR/VR will be rolled out. There will be higher demands on data processing and switching, which will bring new growth momentum to high-frequency and high-speed PCB boards.

In terms of automobiles, the market share of new energy vehicles is increasing, and the process of automobile electrification is accelerating. The market share of new energy vehicles is growing rapidly. The advantages of electric vehicles are prominent, and the market share is increasing year by year. The full-electric platform has become the main choice for domestic and foreign automobile manufacturers due to its advantages of long battery life, vehicle space, control, safety, and intellectualization. From 2018 to 2022, the global sales of electric vehicles have developed by leaps and bounds, from 2 million units in 2018 to more than 10 million in 2022, and the market share has increased from 2.5% to 14%. The wave of electrification is gradually growing from a single market to the globe. Smart driving is leading the new trend of the industry, which brings new opportunities for automotive PCBs. ADAS mainly uses PCBs in the sensing end and various functional control units. The sensing end mainly includes sensors such as LIDAR, millimeter wave radar, camera, and ultrasonic radar. The functional control unit includes the driver assistance and self-driving control unit, adaptive cruise system, blind spot monitoring, automatic parking, and driver drowsiness detection. Due to the continuous improvement of automotive safety standards in various countries, the active safety technology of Advanced Driver Assistance System (ADAS) has been developing rapidly in recent years. Due to its 24/7 operation, automotive millimeter-wave radar has become a mainstream choice for automotive electronics manufacturers and has a huge market demand. PCB is an important part of millimeter wave radar, and thus its broad demand. The automotive PCB certification cycle is long, and the entry threshold is high. However, after certification by the car manufacturer, good customer cohesion can bring stable revenue growth. The Company has the R&D capability needed to continue to enhance the design and development of automotive PCBs and has obtained the IATF16949 certification. The Company will take this opportunity to develop and introduce the Group's electric vehicle products, and expand the proportion of automotive PCBs in the Company's products.

Consumer electronics include digital devices (such as mobile phones, computers, photography equipment, etc.), learning hardware (such as dictionary pens, translation

~97~

pens, etc.), and wearable devices. Although consumer electronic products such as smartphones and tablet computers have entered the stock era, the 5G communication technology and the continuous mobile phone component upgrades have brought a replacement boom. With the continuous development of AI and the IoT, the integration of software and systems has transcended the boundaries of device connection to drive the continuous growth of the smart home appliance, smart wearable, and entertainment device markets. We can anticipate a growth in the consumer electronics PCB market.

Cloud computing also drives the demand for data center construction. In the data center construction cost structure, servers and network equipment account for a relatively high proportion of about 80% of the total cost. The increase in data center investment spending will drive the growth of network equipment, server shipments, and further boost the prosperity of the server PCB industry. After the server platform is upgraded, the corresponding PCB material upgrade + layer number + process complexity will raise, and the value of PCB is expected to increase.

In sum, PCB has almost penetrated into all terminal fields of the electronics industry. As the new generation information technology advances, the use and market of PCB products will continue to expand in the future. With the growth of residents' income; the expansion of domestic demands; consumption structure upgrades; and industrial development for computers, communication equipment, consumer electronics, etc.; the development and upgrading of new products will bring a broader market space for the PCB industry.

IV. Information on environmental protection expenditure

The total amount of losses (including compensation) and dispositions suffered due to environmental pollution, future countermeasures (including improvement measures), and possible expenditures (including the estimated amount of losses, dispositions and compensation that may occur if no countermeasures are taken, and please state the facts why the case cannot be reasonably estimated if it cannot be reasonably estimated) in the most recent year and as of the printing date of the annual report): The Company has no such situation.

In order to increase the usage rate of green power and reduce carbon emissions, the Company has planned and successively installed solar power generation in various plants in China and Southeast Asia. The estimated total investment amount is about NT$940 million. Dongguan and Yantai plants have completed part of the solar power installation. We will gradually achieve the planning and goal of carbon reduction in energy. With respect to the discharge and recycling of wastewater and waste, each plant has obtained local discharge permits, and all discharges have also complied with discharge regulations, and thus there is no pollution. At the same time, for the recovery and reuse of raw materials and production resources, the

~111~

manufacturing department is also actively investing in improvements to reduce consumption and costs, enhancing product competitiveness. In term of environmental protection requirements for special regions such as the European Union's environmental protection directives (i.e., RoHs 2.0), the Company has also formulated the relevant internal provisions and testing standards in order to meet customer demands for compliance with regional environmental protection regulations. Regarding the UN’s Conflict-Free Minerals Initiative, the Company has made a "Conflict Minerals Policy Declaration" to ban the procurement and use of "conflict minerals" mined in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and surrounding countries and regions.

The Environmental Protection Department of the headquarters use external consultants to review the setting of various environmental protection indicators, while taking into account the products and regional differences of each plant. Furthermore, environmental protection and emission reduction indicators are established with an annual budget created to gradually achieve the target which is disclosed to the public in a timely manner. By doing this, we can respond to stakeholders and provide information transparency. In addition, through the Procurement Department, all suppliers are required to comply with commitments on product substance content declaration and environmental protection in order to fulfill their responsibilities.

In the future, we will continue to enhance the environmental awareness of employees and the supply chain system, maintain pollution-free operations, and fulfill corporate social responsibility. Environmental protection expenditures will also be appropriately adjusted according to the annual budget status and practical needs. Please refer to the Company website and sustainability report for information on environmental protection.

IV. Parent Company Only Financial Statements of the most recent year

Auditors’ Report

(2024) Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi No. 23004347

To Pan-International Industrial Corp.

Audit Opinions

We have audited the Parent Company Only Balance Sheet of Pan-International Industrial Corp. of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the Parent Company Only Comprehensive Income Statement, Parent Company Only Statement of Changes in Shareholders Equity, the Parent Company Only Statement of Cash Flows, and the Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements (including the summary of significant accounting policies) covering the period of January 1 to December 31, 2023 and 2022.

In our opinion, on the basis of the result of our audit and the audit reports presented by other accountants (please refer to additional information section), all the material items prepared in these separate parent company only financial statements are in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. Therefore, they are able to properly express the separate financial position of PanInternational Industrial Corp. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the parent company only financial performance and parent company only cash flows from January 1 to December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Basis of our opinions

We have conducted the audit according to the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Taiwan Standards on Auditing (TWSA). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Parent Company Only

~124~

Financial Statements. We are independent of Pan-International Industrial Corp. according to the CPA Code of Professional Ethics of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities according to these requirements. On the basis of the result of our audit and the audit reports presented by other certified public accountants, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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 parent company only financial statements of the Company in 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

~125~

Key audit matters in the 2023 Parent Company Only Financial Statements of the Company are specified below:

Assessment of the provision for valuation loss on inventory

Description

For information on the accounting policy of valuation of inventory, refer to Note 4 (13) of the Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements. The accounting estimate, and the uncertainty of assumption of the valuation of inventory is specified in Note 5 (2) of the Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements. The inventory items are specified in Note 6 (4) of the Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements. As of December 31, 2023, the balance of inventory and provision for valuation loss for the Company amounted to NT$315,066 thousand and NT$3,981 thousand, respectively. The balance of inventory and provision for evaluation loss as stated in the consolidated financial statements of the same date amounted to NT$3,868,193 thousand and NT$146,527 thousand, respectively.

The Company mainly produces and sells computer peripherals, automobile cable harness, industrial control and medical devices, among other related electronic products. Rapid changes in the technological environment allow for only a short life cycle of the inventory. In addition, the inventory is highly vulnerable to price fluctuations in the market. The result is devaluation due to falling prices of inventory, or the risk of phase out is higher. Pan-International Industrial Corp. and its subsidiaries measure the normal sale of inventory using the lower of the cost or the net realizable value. The above provision for the valuation of inventory loss is mainly based on obsolete items or damaged items of inventory. The net realizable value is based on the experience of handling obsolete items of inventory in the estimation. Because the amount of inventory of Pan-International Industrial Corp. and subsidiaries is significant and the inventory covers a great variety of items, it requires human judgment in sorting out the obsolete or damaged items from the inventory. This requires further judgment in the audit. We therefore listed the

~126~

provision for valuation loss of inventory of Pan-International Industrial Corp. and its subsidiaries as key audit matter.

The appropriate audit procedure

We have conducted the following audit procedures on the provision for valuation loss of obsolete or damaged inventory:

  1. Assess to determine if the policies for recognizing the provision for valuation loss of inventory in the financial statement period is consistent and reasonable.

  2. Examine if the logic of the system of the inventory aging table for the valuation of inventory used by the management is appropriate, in order to confirm that the information presented in the financial statements is congruent with the policies.

~127~

  1. Assess to determine if the provision for valuation loss of inventory is reasonable on the basis of the discussion with the management on the valuation of the net realizable value of the obsolete and damaged items of inventory and the supporting documents obtained.

Other matters - Audits conducted by other certified public accountants

Some of the investee companies of Pan-International Industrial Corp. accounted for under the equity method were presented in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements. We did not audit the financial statements of these companies. These financial statements were audited by other certified public accountants, and we have made adjustments to these financial statements to make them consistent in accounting policy and conducted necessary examination procedures. Therefore, the opinions on the aforementioned parent company only financial statements regarding the amount presented in the aforementioned financial statements of these subsidiaries before adjustment were based on the Auditors’ Report of other certified public accountants. The investment of the above companies accounted for under the investment by equity method amounted to NT$2,325,240 thousand and NT$2,231,230 thousand as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, which accounted for 14% and 13% of the parent company only total assets, respectively. The comprehensive income recognized by the aforementioned companies in the period of January 1 to December 31, 2023 and 2022, amounted to NT$519,174 thousand and NT$477,447 thousand, and accounted for 42% and 47% of the parent company only comprehensive incomes, respectively.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements free from materials misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

~128~

In preparing the parent company only financial statements., management is responsible for assessing the ability of Pan-International Industrial Corp. to continue as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless management either intends to liquidate Pan-International Industrial Corp. or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the Auditing Committee) are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of Pan-International Industrial Corp.

~129~

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance whether the parent company only 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 refers to a high degree of assurance, but the audit performed according to the TWSA cannot guarantee that material misrepresentations in standalone financial statements will be detected. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. These 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.

The CPA has exercised professional judgment and skepticism when conducting audits under the TWSA. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only 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 control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of Pan-International Industrial Corp.

~130~

  1. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  2. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Pan-International Industrial Corp. and its ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause Pan-International Industrial Corp. to cease to continue as a going concern.

  3. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements (including the notes to the statements), and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

~131~

  1. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities within PanInternational Industrial Corp. to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the separate audit, and we are responsible for forming an audit opinion on the parent company only financial statements.

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of the Company in 2023 and therefore are the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The major accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the parent company only financial statements are as follows. Unless otherwise stated, these policies apply consistently throughout the reporting period.

(I) Statement of compliance

The parent company only financial statements were compiled in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

  • (II) Basis of preparation

  • The parent company only financial statements were compiled on the basis of historical cost except for the following important items:

    • (1) Financial assets and liabilities (including derivatives) are measured at fair value through income.

    • (2) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

    • (3) Defined benefit liabilities are recognized according to the net amount of retirement fund assets minus the present value of defined benefit obligations.

  • The preparation of financial reports in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretation and Interpretation Announcements (hereinafter referred to as IFRSs) recognized by the Financial Supervisory Commission requires the use of some important accounting estimates. In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the management also needs to use its judgment, involving items with high judgment or complexity, or major assumptions and estimates involving parent company only financial statements. Please refer to note 5 for details.

(III) Foreign exchange conversion

  1. The parent company only financial statements were presented in the functional currency of the Company, which is “NTD”.

~142~

  1. Foreign currency transactions and balances

  2. (1) Foreign currency transactions are converted into the functional currency at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date or measurement date, and the conversion difference arising from the conversion of such transactions is recognized as current profit and loss.

  3. (2) The balance of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities shall be evaluated and adjusted at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the conversion difference arising from the adjustment shall be recognized as the current profit and loss.

  4. (3) The balance of foreign currency non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value through income shall be evaluated and adjusted according to the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the exchange difference arising from the adjustment shall be recognized as the current profit and loss; if the balance is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, it shall be evaluated and adjusted according to the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the exchange difference arising from the adjustment shall be recognized in others comprehensive income; if it is not measured by fair value, it is measured according to the historical exchange rate on the initial trading day.

  5. (4) All exchange gains and losses are reported in "other gains and losses" in the income statement.

  6. Conversion of foreign operations

  7. (1) For all group individuals and affiliated enterprises whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency, their operating results and financial status shall be converted into the presentation currency in the following ways:

    • A. Assets and liabilities expressed on each balance sheet are converted at the closing exchange rate on that balance sheet date;

    • B. The income and expense losses expressed in each consolidated income statement are converted at the current average exchange rate; and

    • C. All exchange differences arising from the conversion are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  8. (2) When the foreign operation which is partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, the accumulated exchange difference recognized in other comprehensive income is returned to the non-controlling interest of the foreign operation on a pro-rata basis. If the Company still has the equity of the former subsidiaries in part but lost the control of the foreign operations, it should be treated as the disposal of the equity of the foreign operations in whole.

  9. (3) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of a foreign individual entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign individual entity and are converted at the exchange rate at the end of the period.

(IV) Classification criteria for current and non-current assets and liabilities

  1. Assets that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current assets:

  2. (1) The asset is expected to be realized in the normal business cycle or intended to be sold or consumed.

  3. (2) Held mainly for trading purposes.

  4. (3) Expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

~143~

  • (4) Cash or cash equivalents, except for those to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities in at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

  • The Company classified all the assets not conforming to the above conditions as noncurrent assets.

  • Liabilities that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current liabilities: (1) Those that are expected to be settled in the normal business cycle.

  • (2) Held mainly for trading purposes.

  • (3) Expected to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

  • (4) The repayment period cannot be unconditionally deferred to at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. The terms of the liabilities may be based on the choice of the counterparty; the fact that the liabilities are settled due to the issuance of equity instruments does not affect its classification.

  • The Company classified all the liabilities not conforming to the above conditions as noncurrent assets.

(V) Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents refer to short-term and highly liquid investments that can be converted into a fixed amount of cash at any time with little risk of change in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held to meet short-term cash commitments in operation are classified as cash equivalents.

(VI) Financial assets at FVTPL

  1. Financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  2. The Company adopts the transaction day accounting on financial assets measured at fair value through profit and loss in conformity with trading practices.

  3. The Company measures their fair value at the time of initial recognition, and the relevant transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss; subsequently, they are measured at fair value, and the profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

  4. If the right to dividend has been determined, economic benefits related to the dividend may flow in, and when the amount of dividend can be measured with reliability, the Company recognizes dividend income in profit and loss.

(VII)Financial assets at FVTOCI

  1. Refers to an irrevocable choice at the time of initial recognition to report changes in the fair value of equity instrument investments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income; or debt instrument investments that meet the following conditions at the same time:

  2. (1) The financial asset is held under the business model to collect contractual cash flow and for sale.

  3. (2) The cash flow generated on a specific date from the contractual terms of the financial assets is entirely the interest in the payment of the principal and the outstanding principal amount.

  4. The Company adopts the transaction day accounting on financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in conformity with trading practices.

~144~

  1. At initial recognition, the Company measured at fair value plus the cost of transactions, and measured at fair value in subsequent recognition:

  2. (1) Changes in the fair value of equity instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income. At the time of derecognition, the accumulated profits or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income shall not be reclassified to profit or loss but transferred to retained earnings. If the right to dividend has been determined, economic benefits related to the dividend may flow in, and when the amount of dividend can be measured with reliability, the Company recognizes dividend income in profit and loss.

  3. (2) Changes in the fair value of debt instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income, and the impairment loss, interest income, and foreign currency exchange gain or loss before derecognition are recognized in profit or loss. At the time of derecognition, the accumulated gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

(VIII)Financial assets measured at after-amortization cost

  1. Refers to those who meet the following conditions at the same time:

  2. (1) Holding the financial asset under the business model to collect the contractual cash flow.

  3. (2) The cash flow generated on a specific date from the contractual terms of the financial assets is entirely the interest in the payment of the principal and the outstanding principal amount.

  4. The Company adopts the transaction day accounting on financial assets measured at amortized cost in conformity with trading practices.

  5. The Company measures its fair value plus transaction cost at the time of original recognition. Subsequently, the effective interest method is adopted to recognize interest income and impairment loss in the current period according to the amortization procedure, and the profit or loss is recognized in profit and loss at the time of derecognition.

  6. Due to the short holding period, the fixed deposits held by the Company that do not conform to cash equivalents have an insignificant discount effect and are therefore measured by the investment amount.

(IX) Accounts and notes receivable

  1. Refer to accounts and notes which, according to the contract, have the unconditional right to receive the amount of consideration obtained from the transfer of goods or services.

  2. For short-term accounts receivable and notes receivable without interest payment, the effect of discount is marginal, therefore the Company measures at the initial invoice amount.

(X) Impairment of financial assets

On each balance sheet date, the Company takes into account all reasonable and verifiable information (including forward-looking) for financial assets measured at amortized cost. If the credit risk does not increase significantly after the original recognition, the loss allowance is measured at 12 months expected credit loss; if the credit risk has increased significantly since the original recognition, the loss allowance is measured according to the expected credit loss amount during the duration; for accounts receivable that do not contain significant financial components or contract assets, the loss allowance is measured according to the expected credit loss amount in the period.

~145~

(XI) Derecognition of financial assets

When the Company’s contractual right to receive cash flows from financial assets lapses, the financial assets will be derecognized.

(XII)Lessor’s lease transaction - Operating lease

Lease income from operating leases, after deducting any incentives given to the lessee, is amortized and recognized as current income on a straight-line method during the lease period.

(XIII)Inventory

Inventories are measured by the lower of cost and net realizable value, and the cost is determined by the weighted average method. The cost of finished products and work-inprogress includes raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs, and production-related manufacturing expenses (allocated according to normal production capacity), but does not include borrowing costs. When comparing whether the cost or the net realizable value is lower, the item-by-item comparison method is adopted. The net realizable value refers to the balance of the estimated selling price in the normal business process after subtracting the estimated cost that must be invested before completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

(XIV)Investment by equity method/Subsidiaries and associates

  1. Subsidiaries refer to individual entities (including structured individual entities) controlled by the Company. When the Company is exposed to or entitled to variable remuneration from participation in an individual entity, and can influence such remuneration through the power over the individual entity, the Company controls such an individual entity.

  2. The unrealized income derived from the transactions between the Company and subsidiaries has been eliminated. Necessary changes in the accounting policies of the subsidiaries have been made for consistency with the accounting policies of the Company.

  3. The share of income after the acquisition of the subsidiary by the Company is recognized as income in the current period. Other comprehensive income after the acquisition of the subsidiary is recognized as other comprehensive income. If the share of loss of the subsidiary recognized by the Company is greater than or equal to the equity of the subsidiary, the Company shall continue to recognize for loss in proportion to the holding of shares.

  4. If the changes in the proportion of shareholding over the subsidiary do not result in the loss of control (transactions with non-controlling interests), it is processed as equity transaction and seen as transactions among owners. The difference between the adjustment amount of a non-controlling interest and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is directly recognized under equity.

  5. Associates are entities over which the Company has significant influence but no control. In general, these are the entities where the Company directly or indirectly holds more than 20% of their shares with voting rights. The Company’s investment in associates is treated with the equity method and recognized at cost when acquired.

  6. The share of income after the acquisition of the associate by the Company shall be recognized as income in the current period. Other comprehensive income after the acquisition is recognized as other comprehensive income. If the share of loss from any of the associates of the Company is greater than or equal to the equity of the associate (including any other unsecured receivables), the Company will not recognize for further

~146~

loss unless the Company has legal obligations, presumed obligations or has paid for the loss.

  1. When there is a change in equity from a related company that is not profit or loss or other comprehensive profit or loss and does not affect the shareholding ratio of the related company, the Company shall recognize the change in ownership as a “capital reserve” based on the shareholding ratio.

  2. The unrealized profit and loss from the transactions between the Company and associates shall be written off in proportion to the equity of the associate held by the Company; unless there is evidence indicating the assets transferred in the transaction have been impaired, the unrealized loss shall also be written off. Necessary changes in the accounting policies of the associates have been made for consistency with the accounting policies of the Company.

  3. If the Company loses significant influence over an associate when disposing of it, the full amount related to the associate previously recognized as other comprehensive income shall be treated the same as the direct disposal of related assets or liabilities in accounting. In other words, the Company shall reclassify the disposed assets or liabilities as income or loss previously recognized as profit or loss under other comprehensive income. When losing significant influence over the associate, the profit or loss shall be reclassified as income from equity. If the Group still has a significant influence on the affiliated enterprise, the amount previously recognized in other comprehensive income shall be transferred out in the above manner only in proportion.

  4. According to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the income and other comprehensive income presented in the parent company only financial statements of the current period shall be identical with the share of income and other comprehensive income attributable to the parent company as presented in the separate financial statements of the current period. Likewise, the shareholders equity presented in the parent company only financial statements shall be the same as the shareholders equity attributable to the parent company presented in the separate financial statements.

(XV) Property, plant, and equipment

  1. Property, plant and equipment are accounted for at the acquisition cost.

  2. Subsequent cost could be included as asset in the book value of assets or recognized as an independent asset only when the future economic benefit related to the cost of the item will likely flow into the Company in the future and the cost of the item can be reliably measured. The book value of the reset part should be derecognized. All other maintenance costs are recognized in current profit or loss when incurred.

  3. For property, plant and equipment, the cost model is adopted for the subsequent measurement. Except that land is not depreciated, the depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method according to the estimated service life. If the components of property, plant and equipment are significant, they are separately depreciated.

  4. The Company reviews the residual value, service life, and depreciation method of each asset at the end of each fiscal year. If the expected value of the residual value or service life is different from the previous estimate, or the expected consumption pattern of the future economic benefits contained in the asset has changed significantly, then from the date of the change, it shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of the

~147~

International Accounting Standard No. 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes and Errors in Accounting Estimates." The service life of each asset is as follows:

Buildings 15 ~ 51 years
Equipment 3 ~ 9 years
Others 1 ~ 6 years

(XVI)Investment property

Investment property is recognized at the acquisition cost, and the cost model is adopted for the subsequent measurement. Except for land, depreciation is made on a straight-line method based on the estimated service life, and the service life is 15–51 years.

(XVII) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company estimates the recoverable amount of assets with signs of impairment on the balance sheet date. When the recoverable amount is lower than its book value, the impairment loss is recognized. The recoverable amount refers to the fair value of an asset minus disposal cost or its right-of-use value, whichever is higher.

(XVIII) Borrowings

Refers to short-term borrowings from a bank. The Company measures their fair value minus transaction costs at the time of initial recognition, and subsequently, for any difference between the price after deducting transaction costs and the redemption value, the effective interest method is used to recognize interest expenses in profit and loss during the outstanding period according to the amortization procedure.

(XIX)Accounts and notes payable

  1. Refers to debts arising from the purchase of raw materials, commodities, or labor services on credit and notes payable due to business and non-business reasons.

  2. For short-term accounts and notes payable that belong to unpaid interest, as the discounting effect is insignificant, the Company uses the original invoice amount to measure the value.

(XX) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company will derecognize financial liabilities if the contractual obligation has been performed, canceled or expired.

(XXI)The offset of financial assets and liabilities

When there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amount of financial assets and liabilities, and the intention is to settle on a net basis or to realize assets and settle liabilities at the same time, the financial assets and financial liabilities can offset each other and be expressed in the net amount on the balance sheet.

(XXII) Employee welfare

  1. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured by the non-discounted amount expected to be paid and recognized as expenses when the related services are provided.

  1. Pension

  2. (1) Defined allocation plan

For a defined allocation plan, the amount of pension funds to be allocated is recognized as the current pension cost on an accrual basis. Advance allocations are recognized as assets to the extent that cash is refundable or future payments are reduced.

~148~

  • (2) Defined benefit plan

    • A. The net obligation under a defined benefit plan is calculated by discounting the future benefit amount earned by the employee in the current or past service, and the fair value of the plan asset is deducted from the present value of the defined benefit obligation on the balance sheet date. The net obligation of defined benefits is calculated annually by an actuary using the projected unit benefit method. The discount rate is determined by reference to the market yield of high-quality corporate bonds that are consistent with the currency and period of the defined benefit plan on the balance sheet date; in countries where there is no deep market for high-quality corporate bonds, the market yield of government bonds (on the balance sheet date) is used.

    • B. The remeasured amount arising from a defined benefit plan is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs and is expressed in retained earnings.

    • C. Expenses related to cost of service of the previous period shall be recognized as profit or loss at once.

  • Employee remuneration and director’s remuneration

  • Employee remuneration and director's remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities when they have legal or constructive obligations and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If there is any difference between the actual distribution amount and the estimated amount, it shall be treated as the change of accounting estimate.

(XXIII) Income tax

  1. Income tax expense includes current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss, except for income tax related to items included respectively in other comprehensive income or directly included in equity.

  2. The Company calculates the income tax in the current period on the basis of the tax rate already legislated or actually in force in the country of operation or where payable tax is realized as of the balance sheet day. The management assesses the status of income tax returns regularly with respect to the applicable income tax laws and regulations, and, where applicable, assesses income tax liabilities based on the amount of tax expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Undistributed earnings are subject to income tax in accordance with the income tax law, and the income tax expense of undistributed earnings shall be recognized in accordance with the actual distribution of earnings in the year following the year in which the earnings are generated, after the earnings distribution proposal is passed by the shareholders’ meeting.

  3. Deferred income tax is recognized according to the temporary difference between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their book value in the parent company only balance sheet by using the balance sheet method. Deferred income tax liabilities arising from originally recognized goodwill are not recognized. If the deferred income tax comes from the originally recognized assets or liabilities in a transaction (excluding business merger), and the accounting profit or tax income (tax loss) is not affected at the time of the transaction nor does it generate a equal taxable and deductible temporary difference, then it is not recognized. If there is a temporary difference arising from the investment in subsidiaries and associates, the Company may control the time point for the reversal of the temporary difference, and does not recognize the temporary difference if it could not be reversed in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is

subject to the tax rate (and tax law) that has been enacted or substantively enacted on the balance sheet date and is expected to apply when the relevant deferred income tax assets are realized or the deferred income tax liabilities are settled.

  1. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that the temporary differences are likely to be used to offset future taxable income, and the unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed on each balance sheet date.

  2. The current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities can be offset when there is a legal enforcement right to offset the recognized current income tax assets and liabilities and there is an intention to pay off on a net basis or to realize assets and liabilities at the same time. When there is a legal enforcement right to offset the current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities, and the deferred income tax assets and liabilities are generated by the same taxpayer, or different taxpayers of the same tax authority and each entity intends to pay off the assets and liabilities on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liabilities at the same time, then the deferred income tax assets and liabilities can be offset against each other.

  3. The portion of unused income tax deduction for deferred use generated from the procurement of equipment or technology, R&D spending and investment in equity shall be recognized as deferred income tax assets within the scope of using unused income tax deduction for taxation with a high probability in the future.

(XXIV) Share capital

Common shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issuance of new shares or share options, net of income tax, are recognized in equity as a deduction of the consideration.

(XXV)Dividend distribution

Dividends distributed to the company's shareholders are recognized in the financial reports when the company's shareholders' meeting decides to distribute such dividends. Cash dividends are recognized as liabilities, and stock dividends are recognized as stock dividends to be distributed and transferred to common shares on the base date of issuing new shares.

(XXVI) Revenue recognition

  1. The Company manufactures and sells electronic components. Revenue from sales is recognized when the control of the product is transferred to the customer, which is when the product is delivered to the buyer. The buyer has discretion over the price of the product, and the Company has no outstanding performance obligation that may affect the customer’s acceptance of the product. When the product is delivered to the designated place, the risk of obsolescence and loss has been transferred to the customer, and the customer accepts the product according to the sales contract, or if there is objective evidence to prove that all acceptance criteria have been met. Accounts receivable are recognized when the goods are delivered to the customer. After that, the Company has unconditional rights to the contract price, and the consideration can be collected from the customer after a certain period of time.

  2. The terms of payment for sale transactions are usually due 30 to 120 days after the date of shipment. Since the time interval between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and the customer‘s payment does not exceed one year, the Company has not adjusted the transaction price to reflect the time value of the currency.

V. Major Sources of Uncertainty in Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates, and Assumptions

When the Company prepares the parent company only financial statements, the management has used its judgment to determine the adopted accounting policies and has made accounting estimates and assumptions based on the reasonable expectations of future events based on the situation on the balance sheet date. Significant accounting estimates and assumptions made may differ from the actual results. Historical experience and other factors will be considered for continuous evaluation and adjustment. These estimates and assumptions contain risk that may result in significant adjustments to the book values of assets and liabilities in the next fiscal year. Please provide a detailed description of the uncertainties of significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions as follows:

(I) Important judgment on the adoption of accounting policies

Recognition of gross or net income

According to the type of transaction and its economic essence, the Company determines whether the nature of its commitment to customers is the performance obligation of providing specific goods or services by itself (i.e. the Company is the principal), or is the performance obligation of another party providing such goods or services (i.e. the Company is the agent). When the Company controls a particular product or service before transferring it to a customer, the Company acts as the principal and recognizes the total amount of consideration that it is expected to be entitled to receive for the transfer of the particular product or service as income. If the Company does not control the specific product or service before transferring it to customers, the Company acts as an agent to arrange for another party to provide the particular product or service to customers, and any fee or commission that the Group is entitled to receive via this arrangement is recognized as income.

The Company determines whether it controls a particular product or service before it is transferred to a customer based on the following indicators:

  1. Being responsible for fulfilling the promise of providing a particular product or service.

  2. Bearing the inventory risk before transferring the particular product or service to the customer, or bearing the inventory risk after transferring the control.

  3. Having the discretion to fix the price of a particular product or service.

(II) Important accounting estimates and assumptions

Inventory evaluation

Since inventory must be priced at the lower of the cost and net realizable value, the Company must use judgment and estimation to determine the net realizable value of inventory on the balance sheet date. Due to rapid changes in technology, the Company assesses the amount of inventory on the balance sheet due to normal wear and tear, obsolescence, or lack of market sales value, and writes off the cost of inventory to net realizable value. This inventory evaluation is mainly based on the estimated product demand in a specific period in the future, so significant changes may occur. Please refer to Note 6 (5) for the carrying amount of the Group’s inventory as of December 31, 2024.

The Company appropriates 6% of the total salary to the retirement fund every month which is deposited with the Trust Department of the Bank of Taiwan in the name of the Labor Pension Fund Supervisory Committee. In addition, before the end of each year, the Company estimates the balance of the labor retirement reserve account mentioned in the above. If the balance is insufficient to pay the pension amount of the workers who meet the retirement conditions estimated in the next year according to the above calculation, the Company will provide funding to make up of the shortage before the end of March in the following year. paragraph.

  • (4) The defined pension plan assets of the Company fall within the ratio and scope of items entrusted to the Bank of Taiwan in using the plan for investment in the year under appointment pursuant to Article 6 of the Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilization of the Labor Retirement Fund (deposits in domestic and foreign financial institutions, investments in domestic and foreign listed or OTC equity securities or through private placement, and investments in domestic and foreign products through securitization of real estate). The Labor Pension Fund Supervisory Committee is responsible for the supervision of the use of the fund. In using the fund, the minimum return from annual account settlement shall not fall below the return from interest paid by local banks on 2-year time deposits. If there are insufficiencies, the national treasury shall make up the difference after approval by the competent authority. Because the Company has no right to participate in the operation and management of the fund, it cannot disclose the categories of the plan assets at fair value under IAS 19 and IAS 142. The fair value forming the total assets of the fund as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, is stated in the labor pension fund utilization report announced by the government for the respective years.

The objective of capital management of the Company is to ensure the sustainable operation of the Company, maintaining the best capital structure to reduce the cost of capital, and to provide returns to the shareholders. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the number of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce liabilities. To monitor its capital, the Company uses the net debt ratio which is calculated by dividing net debt by total net worth. The net debt is calculated as total loans (including the “current and noncurrent loans” as stated in the parent company only balance sheet) net of cash and cash equivalents. Total net value is calculated by subtracting total intangible assets from “equity” as stated in the parent company only balance sheet. The Company’s strategy for 2023 is the same as that in 2022, both of which are committed to maintaining the net debt ratio below 70%.

The board of directors has written principles for overall risk management, and also provides written policies for specific areas and matters, such as exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of surplus working capital.

  • Nature and extent of significant financial risks

  • (1) Market risk

Exchange rate risk

  • A. Nature: The Company is a multinational OEM electronics manufacturer and most of the exchange rate risk from business activities comes from:

  • a. As the posting times of non-functional foreign currency accounts receivable and accounts payable are different, the exchange rate of the functional currency is different, thus resulting in an exchange rate risk. Because the amount of assets and liabilities after offsetting is not large, the amount of profit or loss is not large.

  • b. In addition to the commercial transactions (operating activities) on the abovementioned income, the assets and liabilities recognized on the balance sheet, and the net investment in foreign operations also have exchange rate risks.

B. Management

  • a. The Company has made policies to deal with this kind of risk that requires all Group companies to manage the exchange rate risk corresponding to their functional currency.

  • b. The exchange rate risk deriving from respective functional currencies on the functional currency used in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements will be coordinated and managed by the Group’s Financial Division.

~170~

C. Extent

The business of the Company involves many non-functional currencies (the functional currency of the Company is NTD), therefore it is exposed to fluctuations of exchange rates. Assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are exposed to the effects of significant fluctuations of the exchange rate are as follows:

D. Nature

The Company’s currency items were under significant influence of exchange rate fluctuations in 2023 and 2022, with recognition of exchange income (including realized and unrealized items) amounting to a loss of NT$9,874 and NT$6,497, respectively.

Price risk

A. The equity instruments of the Company exposed to price risk are financial assets

~171~

measured at fair value through other comprehensive incomes. The Company diversified its investment portfolio to manage the price risk of investment in equity instruments. The method of diversification was based on the limits set forth by the Company.

  • B. The Company mainly invested in equity instruments offered by domestic companies. The prices of these equity instruments are affected by the uncertainty of the future values of these investment objects. If there is an upward or downward adjustment of the equity instruments by 1% with all other factors remaining unchanged, the influence on other comprehensive income of gains or losses of financial assets classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income would increase or decrease by $10,810, and $8,956 in 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The interest rate risk to the Company mainly comes from short-term borrowings. Borrowings at fixed interest rates exposed the Company to interest rate risk at fair value. After assessment, there is no significant interest rate risk to the Company.

  • (2) Credit risk

  • A. The credit risk to the Company mainly comes from the failure of customers or counterparties of financial instruments to perform contractual obligations resulting in financial losses for the Company. This mainly comes from the inability of counterparties to repay the accounts receivable in accordance with the collection conditions, and the contractual cash flow classified as debt instrument investment measured at amortized cost.

  • B. The credit policy of the Company explicitly states that each new customer of the operating entities within the Company shall be subject to credit management and credit risk analysis before proposing the terms and conditions for payment and delivery of goods. Internal risk control is to evaluate the credit quality of customers by considering their financial status, past experience, and other factors. The limits of individual risks are determined by the board of directors based on internal or external ratings, and the use of credit lines is regularly monitored.

  • C. The basis for the Company to judge whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly since the original recognition is as follows: When the contract payment is overdue for more than 60 days according to the agreed payment terms, it is deemed that the credit risk of the financial asset has increased significantly since the original recognition.

  • D. If the contract amount is overdue for more than 90 days under the conditions of payment, the Company shall deem it a breach of contract.

  • E. The Company classified notes and accounts receivable of customers according to the characteristics of the customer rating, and adopted the simple method of loss rate to estimate expected credit loss.

  • F. The indicators used by the Company for determining credit impairment of the debt instruments are shown below:

    • (A) The issuer encounters major financial difficulties, or the possibility of going into bankruptcy or other financial restructuring is greatly increased;

    • (B) The issuer makes the active market of the financial asset disappear due to its financial difficulties;

~172~

  • (C) The issuer delays or fails to pay the interest or principal;

  • (D) Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions leading to issuer default.

  • G. Aging analysis of accounts receivable (including related parties):

The above is an aging analysis based on the number of overdue days.

H. Other receivables (including those of related parties)

The other receivables of the Company are mainly receivable tax rebates, and receivable advance payments for a third party. There is no concern for material breach of contract or declined payment. Therefore, the Company recognized provision for loss on the basis of the amount of expected credit loss in a period of 12 months. In 2023 and as of December 31, 2022, the Company recognized a provision for loss amounting to $0.

  • I. The Company classified the accounts receivable of the customers according to the characteristics of the credit rating of the customers, and considered the adjustment of rate of loss on the basis of historical information and information at present time with foresight to estimate the provision for loss from accounts receivable. The method for estimating the loss rate on December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

  • K. All the Company’s investments in debt instruments measured at amortized cost as were at low credit risk as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. Therefore, the book value was measured on the basis of the expected credit loss in a period of 12 months after the balance sheet day.

(3) Liquidity risk

  • A. The cash flow forecast is carried out by each operating entity within the Company, and aggregated by the Company’s Finance Department. The Finance Department monitors and tracks the forecast of working capital requirements to assure adequate funding for operations, and maintains sufficient unspent loan commitments at all times so that the Company will not exceed the relevant borrowing limits or violate the terms. The forecast is based on the debt financing plan, compliance with debt terms, conformity with the targeted financial ratios of the balance sheet, and external regulatory requirements such as foreign exchange control.

  • B. When the remaining cash held by the Company exceeds the requirement for the management of working capital, the Finance Department will invest the remaining funds in interest-bearing demand deposits, time deposits, money market deposits and securities, and the instruments selected to have appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to meet the forecast above and provide sufficient liquidity, and it is expected that cash flow will be generated immediately for the management of liquidity risk.

  • C. The non-derivative financial liabilities of the Company will mature in the year ahead.

(III) Fair value information

  1. The levels of evaluation techniques used to measure the fair value of financial and nonfinancial instruments are defined as follows:

  2. Level 1: The quoted price (unadjusted) is available to the enterprise in an active market for the same assets or liabilities on the measurement date. An active market refers to a market in which assets or liabilities are traded in sufficient frequency and quantity to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. They include the fair value of the listed or OTC stock investments invested by the Company.

  3. Level 2: The input value of assets or liabilities are directly or indirectly observable, except those in Level 1. The fair value of the derivative instruments invested by the Company belongs to this level.

  4. Level 3: The input value of assets or liabilities are unobservable. The equity instruments

~174~

invested by the Company without an active market belong to this level.

  1. Please refer to Note 6 (8) for the information on the fair value of the investment property measured at cost.

  2. Financial instruments not measured at fair value

  3. The book value of the Company’s financial instruments not measured at fair value (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized cost, accounts receivable (related parties included), other receivables, other current assets, payables (related parties included), other payables, and other current liabilities) reasonably approximates the fair value.

  4. The Company’s financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value will be classified according to the nature, specific features, risks, and fair value of the assets and liabilities. Relevant information is as follows:

Level3

Total
$ 68,548 $ 895,629

(2) The methods and assumptions adopted by the Company for measurement at fair value is as specified below:

  • A. The Company adopts market quotation as the input value of fair value (i.e., Level 1), and divides them as follows according to specific features:
Market quotation Listed andOTCstocks
Closing price
Open-end funds
Net value
  • B. Except for the above-mentioned financial instruments with active markets, the fair values of other financial instruments are obtained through evaluation techniques or reference to the quotations of counterparties. Fair value obtained through evaluation techniques can be calculated by referring to the current fair value of other financial instruments with similar conditions and characteristics, or the value can be obtained through other evaluation techniques, including the use of models to calculate market information available on the separate balance sheet date.

  • C. The evaluation of derivative financial instruments is based on evaluation models widely accepted by market users, such as the discount method and the option pricing model. Foreign exchange forward contracts are usually evaluated according to the current forward exchange rate.

  • D. The output of the evaluation model is the estimated value, and the evaluation

~175~

technique may not reflect all the factors related to the Company’s holding of financial instruments and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value of the evaluation model will be adjusted according to additional parameters, such as model risk or liquidity risk. According to the Company’s fair value evaluation model management policies and related control procedures, the management believes that the evaluation adjustment is appropriate and necessary to properly express the fair value of financial instruments and non-financial instruments in the separate balance sheet. The price information and parameters used in the evaluation process have been carefully evaluated and appropriately adjusted according to current market conditions.

  • E. The Company has incorporated credit risk assessment adjustments into its calculation for the fair values of financial instruments and non-financial instruments in order to reflect counterparty credit risks and the Company's credit quality, respectively.

  • There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 in 2023 and 2022.

  • The following table shows the changes in Level 3 in 2023 and 2022:

January 1

( 5,264)

$ 64,208

$ 68,548
  1. There was no transfer in or out from Level 3 in 2023 and 2022.

  2. For the fair value of Level 3 instruments of the Company, the investment management department is responsible for the independent verification of the fair value of such financial instruments in the evaluation process. Through independent sources of information, the evaluation results approximate market conditions, and the data sources are confirmed to be independent, reliable, consistent with other resources, and to represent executable prices. The evaluation model is calibrated regularly, backtracked, and updated for the input values and information required by the evaluation model, and any other necessary fair value adjustments are made to ensure that the evaluation results are reasonable.

In addition, the investment management department formulates the fair value evaluation policies, evaluation procedures, and confirmation of financial instruments in accordance with the relevant international financial reporting standards and accounting standards.

  1. The quantitative information about the significant unobservable input value of the evaluation model used for level 3 fair value measurement and the sensitivity analysis of the significant unobservable input value changes are as follows:

V. Company’s Consolidated Financial Statements of the Most Recent Year Certified by CPAs

Auditors’ Report

(2024) Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi No. 23004346

To Pan-International Industrial Corp.

Audit Opinions

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of December 31, 2023 and December 31, 2022, the consolidated comprehensive income sheet, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows from January 1 to December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements (including the summary of material accounting policies) of Pan-International Industrial Corp. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter “Pan-International Group”).

In our opinion, based on the result of our audit and the audit reports presented by other accountants (please refer to additional information section), all the material items prepared in these consolidated financial statements are in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), interpretations, and interpretation announcements recognized and promulgated by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC). Therefore, they are able to properly express the consolidated financial status of Pan-International Group in 2023 and as of December 31, 2022, and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows in 2023 and from January 1 2022 to December 31, 2022.

Basis of our opinions

We have conducted the audit according to the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Taiwan Standards on Auditing (TWSA). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of Consolidated Financial Statements. We are independent of Pan-International Group in accordance with the CPA Code of Professional Ethics of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. On the basis of the result

~211~

of our audit and the audit reports presented by other certified public accountants, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion

~212~

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Group in 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements of the year 2023 of Pan-International Group are as follows:

Assessment of the provision for valuation loss on inventory

Description

For additional information on the accounting policy of inventory valuation, refer to Note 4 (14) of the consolidated financial statements. For information on the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions for inventory valuation, refer to Note 5 (2) of the consolidated financial statements. For a description of the inventory items, refer to Note 6 (5) of the consolidated financial statements. As of December 31, 2023, Pan-International Group recognized inventory loss and provision for valuation loss of inventory amounting to NT$3,868,193 thousand and NT$146,527 thousand, respectively.

Pan-International Group mainly produces and sells computer peripherals, automobile cable harness, industrial control and medical devices, among other related electronic products. Rapid changes in the technological environment allow for only a short life cycle of the inventory. In addition, the inventory is highly vulnerable to price fluctuations in the market. The result is devaluation due to falling prices of inventory, or the risk of phase out is higher. Pan-International Group measures the normal sale of inventory using the lower of the cost or the net realizable value. The above provision for the valuation of inventory loss is mainly based on obsolete items or damaged items of inventory. The net realizable

~213~

value is based on the experience of handling obsolete items of inventory in the estimation. Because the amount of inventory of Pan-International Group is significant and the inventory covers a great variety of items, it requires human judgment in sorting out the obsolete or damaged items from the inventory. This requires further judgment in the audit. We therefore listed the provision for valuation loss of inventory of Pan-International Group as key audit matter.

The appropriate audit procedure

We have conducted the following audit procedures on the provision for valuation loss of obsolete or damaged inventory:

  1. Assess to determine if the policies for recognizing the provision for valuation loss of inventory in the financial statement period is consistent and reasonable.

~214~

  1. Examine if the logic of the system of the inventory aging table for the valuation of inventory used by the management is appropriate, in order to confirm that the information presented in the financial statements is congruent with the policies.

  2. Assess to determine if the provision for valuation loss of inventory is reasonable on the basis of the discussion with the management on the valuation of the net realizable value of the obsolete and damaged items of inventory and the supporting documents obtained.

Additional information - audits conducted by other auditors

Some of the subsidiaries of Pan-International Group included in the consolidated financial statements, were not audited by us for the financial statements of these companies. These financial statements were audited by other certified public accountants, and we have made adjustments to these financial statements to make them consistent in accounting policy and conducted necessary examination procedures. Therefore, the opinions on the aforementioned consolidated financial statements regarding the amount presented in the aforementioned financial statements of these subsidiaries before adjustment were based on the Auditors’ Report of other certified public accountants. The total assets of the aforementioned companies (including the investment by equity method) as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, amounted to NT$6,369,905 thousand and NT$6,461,095 thousand, respectively, accounting for 26% and 25% of the consolidated total assets, respectively. Revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, amounted to NT$8,334,576 thousand and NT$7,918,143 thousand, respectively, accounting for 33% and 30% of the consolidated net operating revenue, respectively.

Additional information - Issuance of Auditors’ Report on Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Pan-International Industrial Corp. has prepared the parent company only financial statements of 2023 and 2022. We have audited these statements and issued an unqualified opinion and additional information. Auditors’ Reports issued by other accountants are on record for reference.

~215~

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements.

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC recognized and promulgated by the FSC and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements., management is responsible for assessing the ability of Pan-International Group to continue as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless management either intends to liquidate Pan-International Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the Auditing Committee) are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of Pan-International Group.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance 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 refers to a high degree of assurance, but the audit performed according to the TWSA cannot guarantee that material misrepresentations in the Consolidated Financial Statements will be detected. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. These 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 financial statements.

The CPA has exercised professional judgment and skepticism when conducting audits under the TWSA. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial

~216~

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.

  1. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of Pan-International Group.

  2. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  3. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on PanInternational Group and its ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause Pan-International Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  4. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements (including the notes to the statements), and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

~217~

  1. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities 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, and we are responsible for forming an audit opinion on the Group.

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of Pan-International Group in 2023 and therefore are the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The major accounting policies adopted in the preparation of this consolidated financial report are as follows. Unless otherwise stated, these policies apply consistently throughout the reporting period.

(I) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements are compiled in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and the IFRS, IAS, SIC and IFRIC (hereinafter collectively referred to as IFRSs) endorsed by the FSC.

~232~

(II) Basis of preparation

  1. Except for the following important items, this consolidated financial report is prepared at historical cost:

  2. (1) Financial assets and liabilities (including derivatives) are measured at fair value through income.

  3. (2) Financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  4. (3) Defined benefit liabilities are recognized according to the net amount of retirement fund assets minus the present value of defined benefit obligations.

  5. The preparation of financial reports in accordance with IFRSs requires the use of some important accounting estimates. In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the management also needs to use its judgment, involving items with high judgment or complexity, or major assumptions and estimates involving consolidated financial reports. Please refer to note 5 for details.

(III) Basis of consolidation

  1. Principles for preparation of consolidated financial reports

  2. (1) All subsidiaries of the group are included in the individual entities of the consolidated financial reports. Subsidiaries refer to individual entities (including structured individual entities) controlled by the group. When the group is exposed to or entitled to variable remuneration from participation in an individual entity, and can influence such remuneration through the power over the individual entity, the group controls such an individual entity. Subsidiaries are included in the consolidated financial reports from the date when the group obtains their control, and the merger is terminated from the date of loss of control.

  3. (2) Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses have been eliminated. Necessary adjustments have been made to the accounting policies of the subsidiaries which are consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.

  4. (3) Each component of profit or loss and other comprehensive income is attributed to the owners and non-controlling interests of the parent company; the total comprehensive income is also attributed to the owners and non-controlling interests of the parent company, even if it results in a deficit in the balance of non-controlling interests.

  5. (4) If the change in the shareholding of a subsidiary does not result in a loss of control (transactions with a non-controlling interest), it is treated as an equity transaction, that is, a transaction with the owner. The difference between the adjustment amount of a noncontrolling interest and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is directly recognized under equity.

  6. (5) When the group loses control over a subsidiary, the remaining investment in this subsidiary is re-measured at fair value and is regarded as the fair value of the originally recognized financial assets or the cost of the investment in the originally recognized affiliated enterprise or joint venture, and the difference between the fair value and the book value is recognized as the current profit and loss. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income related to the subsidiary are reclassified as profit and loss.

  2. Foreign currency transactions and balances

~237~

  • (2) The balance of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities shall be evaluated and adjusted at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the conversion difference arising from the adjustment shall be recognized as the current profit and loss.

  • (3) The balance of foreign currency non-monetary assets and liabilities measured at fair value through income shall be evaluated and adjusted according to the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the exchange difference arising from the adjustment shall be recognized as the current profit and loss; if the balance is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, it shall be evaluated and adjusted according to the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the exchange difference arising from the adjustment shall be recognized in others comprehensive income; if it is not measured by fair value, it is measured according to the historical exchange rate on the initial trading day.

  • (4) All exchange gains and losses are reported in "other gains and losses" in the income statement.

  • Conversion of foreign operations

  • (1) For all group individuals and affiliated enterprises whose functional currency is different from the presentation currency, their operating results and financial status shall be converted into the presentation currency in the following ways:

    • A. Assets and liabilities expressed on each balance sheet are converted at the closing exchange rate on that balance sheet date;

    • B. The income and expense losses expressed in each consolidated income statement are converted at the current average exchange rate; and

    • C. All exchange differences arising from the conversion are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • (2) When the foreign operation which is partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, the accumulated exchange difference recognized in other comprehensive income is returned to the non-controlling interest of the foreign operation on a pro-rata basis. However, if the Group still retains part of its interest in the aforementioned subsidiary, but has lost control of the subsidiary of the foreign operation, it shall be treated as a disposal of all the rights and interests of the foreign operation.

  • (3) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising from the acquisition of a foreign individual entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign individual entity and are converted at the exchange rate at the end of the period.

(V) Classification criteria for current and non-current assets and liabilities

  2. (1) The asset is expected to be realized in the normal business cycle or intended to be sold or consumed.

  3. (2) Held mainly for trading purposes.

  4. (3) Expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

  5. (4) Cash or cash equivalents, except for those to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities in at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

The Group classifies all assets that do not meet the conditions above as non-current.

  1. Liabilities that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current liabilities:

  2. (1) Those that are expected to be settled in the normal business cycle.

~238~

  • (2) Held mainly for trading purposes.

  • (3) Expected to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

  • (4) The repayment period cannot be unconditionally deferred to at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. The terms of the liabilities may be based on the choice of the counterparty; the fact that the liabilities are settled due to the issuance of equity instruments does not affect its classification.

The group classifies all liabilities that do not meet the above conditions as non-current.

(VI) Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents refer to short-term and highly liquid investments that can be converted into a fixed amount of cash at any time with little risk of change in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held to meet short-term cash commitments in operation are classified as cash equivalents.

(VII)Financial assets at FVTPL

  1. Financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  2. The group adopts transaction day accounting for financial assets measured at fair value through income in compliance with trading practices.

  3. The Group measures their fair value at the time of initial recognition, and the relevant transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss; subsequently, they are measured at fair value, and the profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

  4. When the right to receive dividends is established, the economic benefits related to dividends are likely to flow in and the number of dividends can be measured reliably, and the group recognizes the dividend income in profit or loss.

(VIII)Financial assets at FVTOCI

  1. Refers to an irrevocable choice at the time of initial recognition to report changes in the fair value of equity instrument investments that are not held for trading in other comprehensive income; or debt instrument investments that meet the following conditions at the same time:

  2. (1) The financial asset is held under the business model to collect contractual cash flow and for sale.

  3. (2) The cash flow generated on a specific date from the contractual terms of the financial assets is entirely the interest in the payment of the principal and the outstanding principal amount.

  4. The group adopts transaction day accounting for financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income in accordance with trading practices.

  5. The group measures their fair value plus transaction costs at the time of original recognition, and is subsequently measured at fair value:

  6. (1) Changes in the fair value of equity instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income. At the time of derecognition, the accumulated profits or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income shall not be reclassified to profit or loss but transferred to retained earnings. When the right to receive dividends is established, the economic benefits related to dividends are likely to flow in and the number of dividends can be reliably measured, the group recognizes dividend income in profit or loss.

  7. (2) Changes in the fair value of debt instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income, and the impairment loss, interest income, and foreign currency exchange gain

~239~

or loss before derecognition are recognized in profit or loss. At the time of derecognition, the accumulated gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

(IX) Financial assets measured at after-amortization cost

  1. Refers to those who meet the following conditions at the same time:

  2. (1) Holding the financial asset under the business model to collect the contractual cash flow.

  3. (2) The cash flow generated on a specific date from the contractual terms of the financial assets is entirely the interest in the payment of the principal and the outstanding principal amount.

  4. The group adopts transaction day accounting for financial assets measured at afteramortization cost in accordance with trading practices.

  5. The group measures their fair value plus transaction cost at the time of original recognition. Subsequently, the effective interest method is adopted to recognize interest income and impairment loss in the current period according to the amortization procedure, and the profit or loss is recognized in profit and loss at the time of derecognition.

  6. Due to the short holding period, the fixed deposits held by the group that does not conform to cash equivalents have an insignificant discount effect and are therefore measured by the investment amount.

(X) Accounts and notes receivable

  1. Refer to accounts and notes which, according to the contract, have the unconditional right to receive the amount of consideration obtained from the transfer of goods or services.

  2. For short-term accounts and notes receivable with unpaid interest, as they have little effect on discount, the group measures them based on the original invoice amount.

(XI) Impairment of financial assets

On each balance sheet date, the Group takes into account all reasonable and verifiable information (including forward-looking) for financial assets measured at amortized cost. If the credit risk does not increase significantly after the original recognition, the loss allowance is measured at 12 months expected credit loss; if the credit risk has increased significantly since the original recognition, the loss allowance is measured according to the expected credit loss amount during the duration; for accounts receivable that do not contain significant financial components or contract assets, the loss allowance is measured according to the expected credit loss amount in the period.

(XII)Derecognition of financial assets

When the group's contractual right to receive cash flows from financial assets lapses, the financial assets will be derecognised.

(XIII)Lessor’s lease transaction - Operating lease

Lease income from operating leases, after deducting any incentives given to the lessee, is amortized and recognized as current income on a straight-line method during the lease period.

(XIV)Inventory

Inventories are measured by the lower of cost and net realizable value, and the cost is determined by the weighted average method. The cost of finished products and work-inprogress includes raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs, and production-related

~240~

manufacturing expenses (allocated according to normal production capacity), but does not include borrowing costs. When comparing whether the cost or the net realizable value is lower, the item-by-item comparison method is adopted. The net realizable value refers to the balance of the estimated selling price in the normal business process after subtracting the estimated cost that must be invested before completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

- (XV) Investment by equity method Affiliated enterprises

  1. Affiliated enterprises refer to all individual entities in which the group has a significant influence on them but has no control over them. Generally, the group directly or indirectly holds more than 20% of their voting rights. The group's investment in affiliated enterprises is treated with the equity method and recognized at cost when acquired.

  2. The group recognizes the share of profit or loss of the affiliated enterprise as the current income and recognizes the share of other comprehensive income after the acquisition as other comprehensive income. If the group's share of loss in any affiliated enterprise is equal to or exceeds its interest in the associated enterprise (including any other unsecured receivables), the group does not recognize any further loss, unless the group has a legal or constructive obligation to the associated enterprise or has made payments on its behalf.

  3. When there is a change in equity from a related company that is not profit or loss or other comprehensive profit or loss and does not affect the shareholding ratio of the related company, the Group shall recognize the change in ownership as a “capital reserve” based on the shareholding ratio.

  4. The unrealized gains and losses arising from the transactions between the group and its affiliated enterprises have been written off in proportion to the equity in the affiliated enterprises; unless there is evidence showing that the assets transferred by the transaction have been impaired, the unrealized losses will also be eliminated. Necessary adjustments have been made to the accounting policies of affiliated enterprises which are consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.

  5. When the Group disposes of an associate, if there is a loss of significant influence over the associate, the accounting treatment of all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income related to the associate is the same as if the Group directly disposes of the relevant assets or liabilities, that is, if the interests or losses previously recognized as other comprehensive income will be reclassified as profit and loss when disposing of related assets or liabilities, then if there is a loss of significant influence over the associate, the profit or loss will be reclassified as profit or loss from equity. If the Group still has a significant influence on the affiliated enterprise, the amount previously recognized in other comprehensive income shall be transferred out in the above manner only in proportion.

  6. If the Group loses its significant influence on the affiliated enterprise when it disposes the stake in the affiliated enterprise, the capital surplus associated with the affiliated enterprise will be moved to the income statement. If the Group retains its significant influence on the affiliated enterprise, profit or loss will be recognized according to the percentage of ownership disposed.

(XVI)Property, plant, and equipment

  1. Property, plant and equipment are recorded based on the acquisition cost, and the relevant interest during the acquisition and construction period is capitalized.

~241~

  1. Subsequent costs are included in the book value of assets or recognized as a separate asset only when the future economic benefits related to the project are likely to flow into the Group and the cost of the project can be measured reliably. The book value of the reset part should be derecognized. All other maintenance costs are recognized in current profit or loss when incurred.

  2. For property, plant and equipment, the cost model is adopted for the subsequent measurement. Except that land is not depreciated, the depreciation is calculated by the straight-line method according to the estimated service life. If the components of property, plant and equipment are significant, they are separately depreciated.

  3. The Group reviews the residual value, service life, and depreciation method of each asset at the end of each fiscal year. If the expected value of the residual value or service life is different from the previous estimate, or the expected consumption pattern of the future economic benefits contained in the asset has changed significantly, then from the date of the change, it shall be handled in accordance with the provisions of the International Accounting Standard No. 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes and Errors in Accounting Estimates." The service life of each asset is as follows:

Estimates." The service life of each asset is as follows:
Buildings 15 ~ 51 years
Equipment 3 ~ 9 years
Others 1 ~ 6 years

(XVII) Lessee’s lease transaction - Right-of-use assets/lease liabilities

  1. Lease assets are recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the date they are available for use by the group. When the lease contract is a short-term lease or lease of a low-value target asset, the lease payment shall be recognized as an expense during the lease period by the straight-line method.

  2. Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the lease payments that have not been paid at the beginning of the lease at the discounted current value of the group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments include fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable.

Subsequently, the interest method is adopted and measured by the after-amortization cost, and interest expenses are provided during the lease period. When the lease period or lease payment changes but not due to contract modification, the lease liabilities will be reassessed and the right-of-use assets will be re-measured.

  1. The right-of-use assets are recognized at cost on the lease start date, and the cost is measured based on the original amount of the lease liability.

The subsequent measurement is based on the cost model, and the depreciation expense is calculated when the service life of the right-of-use assets expire or the lease term expires, whichever is earlier. When the lease liabilities are reassessed, any re-measurement of the lease liabilities will be adjusted in the right-of-use assets.

(XVIII) Investment property

Investment property is recognized at the acquisition cost, and the cost model is adopted for the subsequent measurement. Except for land, depreciation is made on a straight-line method based on the estimated service life, and the service life is 15–51 years.

~242~

(XIX)Intangible asset

  1. Goodwill is generated by corporate acquisition based on the purchase method.

  2. Computer software is recognized at acquisition cost, and amortized using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life of 3 - 10 years.

(XX) Impairment of non-financial assets

  1. The group estimates the recoverable amount of assets with signs of impairment on the balance sheet date. When the recoverable amount is lower than its book value, the impairment loss is recognized. The recoverable amount refers to the fair value of an asset minus disposal cost or its right-of-use value, whichever is higher. Except for goodwill, when there is no impairment or reduction in the assets recognized in the previous year, the impairment loss will be reversed, but the book value of the assets increased by the reversal of the impairment loss shall not exceed the book value of the assets if the impairment loss is not recognized after deduction of the depreciation or amortization.

  2. The recoverable amount of goodwill is regularly estimated. When the recoverable amount is lower than its book value, the impairment loss is recognized. The impairment loss of goodwill impairment will not be reversed in subsequent years.

  3. Goodwill is allocated to cash-generating units for impairment testing. This allocation is based on the identification of the operating departments, and goodwill is allocated to cashgenerating units or groups of cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the corporate merger that generates goodwill.

(XXI)Borrowings

Refers to short-term borrowings from a bank. The group measures their fair value minus transaction costs at the time of initial recognition, and subsequently, for any difference between the price after deducting transaction costs and the redemption value, the effective interest method is used to recognize interest expenses in profit and loss during the outstanding period according to the amortization procedure.

(XXII) Note payable and accounts payable

  1. Refers to debts arising from the purchase of raw materials, commodities, or labor services on credit and notes payable due to business and non-business reasons.

  2. For short-term accounts and notes payable that belong to unpaid interest, as the discounting effect is insignificant, the Group uses the original invoice amount to measure the value.

(XXIII) Financial liabilities measured at fair value through the income

  1. It refers to financial liabilities that are incurred for the primary purpose of repurchasing in the near term and derivatives held for trading other than those designated as hedging instruments under hedging accounting.

  2. The group measures their fair value at the time of initial recognition, and the relevant transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss; subsequently, they are measured at fair value, and the profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(XXIV) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group will derecognize financial liabilities if the specified contractual obligation has

~243~

been performed, canceled, or expired.

(XXV)The offset of financial assets and liabilities

When there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amount of financial assets and liabilities, and the intention is to settle on a net basis or to realize assets and settle liabilities at the same time, the financial assets and financial liabilities can offset each other and be expressed in the net amount on the balance sheet.

(XXVI) Non-hedging derivatives and embedded derivatives

Non-hedging derivatives at the time of original recognition are measured at the fair value on the contract signing date, and recognized as financial assets or liabilities measured at fair value through income; subsequently, they are measured at fair value, and the profit or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(XXVII)Employee welfare

  1. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured by the non-discounted amount expected to be paid and recognized as expenses when the related services are provided.

  1. Pension

  2. (1) Defined allocation plan

For a defined allocation plan, the amount of pension funds to be allocated is recognized as the current pension cost on an accrual basis. Advance allocations are recognized as assets to the extent that cash is refundable or future payments are reduced.

  • (2) Defined benefit plan

    • A. The net obligation under a defined benefit plan is calculated by discounting the future benefit amount earned by the employee in the current or past service, and the fair value of the plan asset is deducted from the present value of the defined benefit obligation on the balance sheet date. The net obligation of defined benefits is calculated annually by an actuary using the projected unit benefit method. The discount rate is determined by reference to the market yield of high-quality corporate bonds that are consistent with the currency and period of the defined benefit plan on the balance sheet date; in countries where there is no deep market for high-quality corporate bonds, the market yield of government bonds (on the balance sheet date) is used.

    • B. The remeasured amount arising from a defined benefit plan is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs and is expressed in retained earnings.

  • Employee remuneration and director’s remuneration

Employee remuneration and director's remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities when they have legal or constructive obligations and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If there is any difference between the actual distribution amount and the estimated amount, it shall be treated as the change of accounting estimate.

(XXVIII) Income tax

  1. Income tax expense includes current and deferred income tax. Income tax is recognized in profit or loss, except for income tax related to items included respectively in other

~244~

comprehensive income or directly included in equity.

  1. The group calculates the current income tax based on the tax rate enacted or substantively enacted on the balance sheet date by the country where the group operates and the taxable income is generated. The management assesses the status of income tax returns regularly with respect to the applicable income tax laws and regulations, and, where applicable, assesses income tax liabilities based on the amount of tax expected to be paid to the tax authorities. Undistributed earnings are subject to income tax in accordance with the income tax law, and the income tax expense of undistributed earnings shall be recognized in accordance with the actual distribution of earnings in the year following the year in which the earnings are generated, after the earnings distribution proposal is passed by the shareholders’ meeting.

  2. Deferred income tax is recognized according to the temporary difference between the tax base of assets and liabilities and their book value in the consolidated balance sheet by using the balance sheet method. Deferred income tax liabilities arising from originally recognized goodwill are not recognized. If the deferred income tax comes from the originally recognized assets or liabilities in a transaction (excluding business merger), and the accounting profit or tax income (tax loss) is not affected at the time of the transaction nor does it generate a corresponding taxable and deductible temporary difference, then it is not recognized. If there is a temporary difference arising from the investment in subsidiaries and affiliated enterprises, the Group can control the reversal time point of the temporary difference, and the temporary difference is likely to not be reversed in the foreseeable future, then it will not be recognized. Deferred income tax is subject to the tax rate (and tax law) that has been enacted or substantively enacted on the balance sheet date and is expected to apply when the relevant deferred income tax assets are realized or the deferred income tax liabilities are settled.

  3. Deferred income tax assets are recognized to the extent that the temporary differences are likely to be used to offset future taxable income, and the unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed on each balance sheet date.

  4. The current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities can be offset when there is a legal enforcement right to offset the recognized current income tax assets and liabilities and there is an intention to pay off on a net basis or to realize assets and liabilities at the same time. When there is a legal enforcement right to offset the current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities, and the deferred income tax assets and liabilities are generated by the same taxpayer, or different taxpayers of the same tax authority and each entity intends to pay off the assets and liabilities on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liabilities at the same time, then the deferred income tax assets and liabilities can be offset against each other.

  5. The portion of unused income tax deduction for deferred use generated from the procurement of equipment or technology, R&D spending and investment in equity shall be recognized as deferred income tax assets within the scope of using unused income tax deduction for taxation with a high probability in the future.

(XXIX) Dividend distribution

Cash dividends distributed to the Company’s shareholders are recognized as liabilities in the financial reports when the Company’s board of directors resolves a decision to distribute dividends. Stock dividends distributed to the Company’s shareholders are

~245~

recognized as stock dividends to be distributed in the financial reports when the Company’s shareholders’ meeting resolves a decision to distribute stock dividends, and reclassified to ordinary shares on the record date of the issue of new shares.

(XXX)Revenue recognition

  1. The Group manufactures and sells electronic components. Revenue from sales is recognized when the control of the product is transferred to the customer, that is, when the product is delivered to the buyer, the buyer has discretion over the price of the product, and the Group has no outstanding performance obligation that may affect the customer's acceptance of the product. When the product is delivered to the designated place, the risk of obsolescence and loss has been transferred to the customer, and the customer accepts the product according to the sales contract, or if there is objective evidence to prove that all acceptance criteria have been met. Accounts receivable are recognized when the goods are delivered to the customer. Since then, the Group has unconditional rights to the contract price, and the consideration can be collected from the customer after a certain period of time.

  2. The terms of payment for sale transactions are usually due 30 to 120 days after the date of shipment. Since the time interval between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and the customer's payment does not exceed one year, the Group has not adjusted the transaction price to reflect the time value of the currency.

(XXXI) Government subsidy

Government subsidy is recognized at fair value when it is reasonably certain that the enterprise will comply with the conditions attached to the government subsidy and will receive the subsidy. If the nature of the government subsidy is to compensate for the expenses incurred by the group, the government subsidy shall be recognized as the current income on a systematic basis during the period of the relevant expenses.

(XXXII)Operation departments

The Group's operating departments information is reported consistently with the internal management reports provided to major operational decision-makers. Major operational decision-makers are responsible for allocating resources to operating departments and assessing their performance.

V. Major Sources of Uncertainty in Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates, and Assumptions

When the Group prepares the consolidated financial reports, the management has used its judgment to determine the adopted accounting policies and has made accounting estimates and assumptions based on the reasonable expectations of future events based on the situation on the balance sheet date. Significant accounting estimates and assumptions made may differ from the actual results. Historical experience and other factors will be considered for continuous evaluation and adjustment. These estimates and assumptions contain risk that may result in significant adjustments to the book values of assets and liabilities in the next fiscal year. Please provide a detailed description of the uncertainties of significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions as follows:

(I) Important judgment for accounting policy adoption

Recognition of gross or net income

According to the type of transaction and its economic essence, the Group determines whether the nature of its commitment to customers is the performance obligation of providing specific

~246~

goods or services by itself (i.e. the Group is the principal), or is the performance obligation of another party providing such goods or services (i.e. the Group is the agent). When the Group controls a particular product or service before transferring it to a customer, the Group acts as the principal and recognizes the total amount of consideration that it is expected to be entitled to receive for the transfer of the particular product or service as income. If the Group does not control the specific product or service before transferring it to customers, the Group acts as an agent to arrange for another party to provide the particular product or service to customers, and any fee or commission that the Group is entitled to receive via this arrangement is recognized as income.

The group determines whether it controls a particular product or service before it is transferred to a customer based on the following indicators:

  1. Being responsible for fulfilling the promise of providing a particular product or service.

  2. Bearing the inventory risk before transferring the particular product or service to the customer, or bearing the inventory risk after transferring the control.

  3. Having the discretion to fix the price of a particular product or service.

(II) Important accounting estimates and assumptions

Inventory evaluation

Since inventory must be priced at the lower of the cost and net realizable value, the Group must use judgment and estimation to determine the net realizable value of inventory on the balance sheet date. Due to rapid changes in technology, the Group assesses the amount of inventory on the balance sheet due to normal wear and tear, obsolescence, or lack of market sales value, and reduces the inventory cost to the net realizable value. This inventory evaluation is mainly based on the estimated product demand in a specific period in the future, so significant changes may occur. Please refer to Note 6 (5) for the carrying amount of the Group’s inventory as of December 31, 2023.

XII. Others

(I) Capital management

The Group's capital management objectives are to ensure the Group's sustained operation, maintain the optimal capital structure, reduce the cost of capital, and provide returns to shareholders. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the group may adjust the number of dividends paid to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to reduce liabilities. To monitor its capital, the group uses the net debt ratio which is calculated by dividing net debt by total net worth. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including the “current and non-current borrowings” reported in the consolidated balance sheet) less cash and cash equivalents. The total net value is calculated as "equity" as shown in the consolidated balance sheet less total intangible assets.

The Group's strategy for 2023 is the same as that in 2022, both of which are committed to maintaining the net debt ratio below 70%.

(II) Financial instrument

1. Types of financial instruments

  • As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the book value of the Group’s financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized costs, notes receivable, accounts receivable (including related parties), and other receivables, under IFRS 9 amounted to NT$14,080,377 and NT$15,498,552, respectively.

Please refer to Notes 6 (2) and 6 (6) for the book values of financial assets/liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  1. Risk management Policy

  2. (1) Types of risks

The group adopts a comprehensive financial risk management and control system to clearly identify, measure and control various financial risks of the group, including market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.

  • (2) Management objectives

    • A. All the risks above can be eliminated by internal control or operation process, except that market risk is controlled by external factors. Therefore, each risk can be reduced to zero through management.

    • B. In terms of market risk, the objective is to optimize the overall position through rigorous analysis, proposal, implementation and process, with due consideration of the overall external trend, internal operating conditions and the actual impact of market fluctuations.

    • C. The group's overall risk management policy focuses on the unpredictability of the financial market and seeks to reduce potential adverse effects on the group's financial position and financial performance.

  • (3) Management system

    • A. Risk management shall be carried out by the Finance Department of the group in accordance with the policies approved by the board of directors. It is responsible for identifying, assessing and avoiding financial risks through close cooperation with group operating units.

    • B. The board of directors has written principles for overall risk management, and also provides written policies for specific areas and matters, such as exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of surplus working capital.

  • Nature and extent of significant financial risks

  • (1) Market risk

Exchange rate risk

  • A. Nature: The group is a multinational electronic OEM company, and most of the exchange rate risks in its operating activities come from:

  • a. As the posting times of non-functional foreign currency accounts receivable and accounts payable are different, the exchange rate of the functional currency is different, thus resulting in an exchange rate risk. Because the amount of assets and liabilities after offsetting is not large, the amount of profit or loss is not large. (Note: The group has offices in many countries around the world, so there is an exchange rate risk in a variety of different currencies, but the main ones are the US dollar, RMB, and Malaysian ringgit.)

  • b. In addition to the commercial transactions (operating activities) on the abovementioned income, the assets and liabilities recognized on the balance sheet, and the net investment in foreign operations also have exchange rate risks.

  • B. Management

~269~

  • a. For such risks, the group has established a policy that requires companies within the group to manage the exchange rate risk relative to their functional currencies.

  • b. The exchange rate risk of each functional currency against the reporting currency of the consolidated statements is managed by the group’s finance office.

  • C. Extent

The group's business involves a number of non-functional currencies (New Taiwan dollar is the functional currency of the company and some subsidiaries, and RMB and Malaysian ringgit are the functional currencies of some subsidiaries). Therefore, the group is affected by exchange rate fluctuations. The information on foreign currency assets and liabilities with significant exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

D. Nature

The Group’s currency items were under significant influence of exchange rate fluctuations in 2023 and 2022, with recognition of exchange income (including realized and unrealized items) amounting to a gain of NT$144,784 and NT$3,854, respectively.

Price risk

  • A. The equity instruments of the Group exposed to price risk are financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive incomes. In order to manage the price risk of equity instrument investment, the Group diversifies its portfolio in accordance with the limits set by the Group.

  • B. The group mainly invests in equity instruments issued by domestic and foreign companies. The prices of these equity instruments will be affected by the uncertainty of the future values of the investment objects. If there is an upward or downward adjustment of the equity instruments by 1% with all other factors remaining unchanged, the effect on other comprehensive income of gains or losses of equity investment classified as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income would increase or decrease by NT$18,661 and NT$17,524 in 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

The interest rate risk of the group comes from short-term borrowings. Borrowings at fixed interest rates expose the group to an interest rate risk at fair value, but after assessment, the group has no significant interest rate risk.

  • (2) Credit risk

  • A. The credit risk of the group is the risk of financial loss due to the failure of customers or counterparties of financial instrument transactions to fulfill their contractual obligations, which mainly comes from the inability of the counterparties to repay the accounts receivable in accordance with the collection conditions, and the contractual cash flow classified as debt instrument investment measured at after-amortization cost.

  • B. In accordance with the internal credit policy, management and credit risk analysis shall be carried out on each operating entity within the group and each new customer before proposing terms and conditions for payment and delivery. Internal risk control is to evaluate the credit quality of customers by considering their financial status, past experience, and other factors. The limits of individual risks are determined by the board of directors based on internal or external ratings, and the use of credit lines is regularly monitored.

  • C. The basis for the group to judge whether the credit risk of financial instruments has increased significantly since the original recognition is as follows: When the contract payment is overdue for more than 60 days according to the agreed payment terms, it is deemed that the credit risk of the financial asset has increased significantly since the original recognition.

  • D. If the contract amount is overdue for more than 90 days under the conditions of payment, the Group shall deem it a breach of contract.

  • E. The group classifies notes receivable and accounts receivable of customers according to the characteristics of customer rating, and estimates the expected credit loss based on the loss rate method.

~271~

  • F. The indicators used by the group to determine the credit impairment of debt instrument investment are as follows:

  • (A) The issuer encounters major financial difficulties, or the possibility of going into bankruptcy or other financial restructuring is greatly increased;

  • (B) The issuer makes the active market of the financial asset disappear due to its financial difficulties;

  • (C) The issuer delays or fails to pay the interest or principal;

  • (D) Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions leading to issuer default.

  • G. The aging analysis of notes receivable and accounts receivable (including those of related parties) is as follows:

$ 7,771,487




The above is an aging analysis based on the number of overdue days.

  • H. Other receivables (including those of related parties)

  • The Group’s other receivables are primarily tax refund receivables, receivables on disposal of investments, and receivables on advance payments for other parties. Expected credit loss are estimated individually for other significant receivables in default; there is no concern over material non-performance or non-repayment with other counterparties. Therefore, a loss allowance for 12-month expected credit loss is recognized. The allowances for loss recognized by the Group on December 31, 2023 and 2022 were both NT$99,748, respectively.

  • I. The Group classified the accounts receivable of the customers according to the characteristics of the credit rating of the customers, and considered the future forward-looking adjustment of rate of loss on the basis of historical information and information at present time with foresight to estimate the provision for loss on notes and accounts receivable. The method for estimating the loss rate on December 31, 2023 and 2022 is as follows:

  • K. All the Group’s financial assets measured at after-amortization cost as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 had a low credit risk. Therefore, the book value is measured according to the expected credit loss in 12 months after the balance sheet date.

  • (3) Liquidity risk

  • A. The cash flow forecast is carried out by each operating entity within the group and summarized by the group’s finance department. The group’s finance department monitors the forecast of the group's liquidity funds demand to ensure that it has sufficient funds to meet operational needs, and maintains sufficient unspent loan commitments at all times so that the group will not exceed the relevant borrowing limits or violate the terms. These forecasts take into account the group's debt financing plan, compliance with debt terms, and compliance with the financial ratios in the internal balance sheet and external regulatory requirements, such as foreign exchange control.

  • B. When the remaining cash held by the group exceeds the requirement for the management of working capital, the finance department will invest the remaining funds in interest-bearing demand deposits, time deposits, money market deposits and securities, and the instruments selected to have appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to meet the forecast above and provide sufficient liquidity, and it is expected that cash flow will be generated immediately for the management of liquidity risk.

  • C. The following table shows the grouping of the group's non-derivative financial liabilities according to their maturity dates. The non-derivative financial liabilities are analyzed according to the remaining period from the balance sheet date to the contract maturity date. The amount of contractual cash flow disclosed in the table below is the undiscounted amount.

In addition to the above, the group's non-derivative financial liabilities are all due within the next year.

(III) Fair value information

  1. The levels of evaluation techniques used to measure the fair value of financial and nonfinancial instruments are defined as follows:

  2. Level 1: The quoted price (unadjusted) is available to the enterprise in an active market for the same assets or liabilities on the measurement date. An active market refers to a market in which assets or liabilities are traded in sufficient frequency and quantity to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the listed and OTC stocks and beneficiary certificates invested by the group belongs to this level.

  3. Level 2: The input value of assets or liabilities are directly or indirectly observable, except those in Level 1. The fair value of the derivative instruments invested by the group belongs to this level.

  4. Level 3: The input value of assets or liabilities are unobservable. The equity instruments invested by the Group without an active market belong to this level.

  5. Financial instruments not measured at fair value

The book values of the group's financial instruments not measured at fair value (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at after-amortization cost, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, other current assets, notes payable, accounts payable, other payable, lease liabilities and other current liabilities) are reasonable approximations of their fair values.

  1. For the group’s financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value, the group classifies them according to the nature, characteristics, risk, and fair value level of the assets and liabilities. The relevant information is as follows:

  2. (1) The information about the group’s classification of its assets and liabilities by their nature is as follows:

  • (2) The methods and assumptions used by the group to measure fair value are as follows: A. If the group adopts a market quotation as the input value of fair value (i.e. level 1), the instruments classified by their characteristics are as follows:

Listed and OTC stocks Open-end funds Market quotation Closing price Net value

  • B. Except for the above-mentioned financial instruments with active markets, the fair values of other financial instruments are obtained through evaluation techniques or reference to the quotations of counterparties. The fair value obtained through the evaluation techniques can be calculated by referring to the current fair value of other financial instruments with similar conditions and characteristics, or the value can be obtained through other evaluation techniques, including using models to calculate market information available on the consolidated balance sheet date.

  • C. The evaluation of derivative financial instruments is based on evaluation models widely accepted by market users, such as the discount method and the option pricing model. Foreign exchange forward contracts are usually evaluated according to the current forward exchange rate.

  • D. The output of the evaluation model is the estimated value, and the evaluation technique may not reflect all the factors related to the group's holding of financial instruments and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value of the evaluation model will be adjusted according to additional parameters, such as model risk or liquidity risk. According to the Group's fair value evaluation model management policies and related control procedures, the management believes that the evaluation adjustment is appropriate and necessary to properly express the fair value of financial instruments and non-financial instruments in the consolidated balance sheet. The price information and parameters used in the evaluation process have been carefully evaluated and appropriately adjusted according to current market conditions.

  • E. The Group has incorporated credit risk assessment adjustments into its calculation for the fair values of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect counterparty credit risks and the Group's credit quality, respectively.

  • There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 in 2023 and 2022.

  • The following table shows the changes in Level 3 in 2023 and 2022:

  1. There was no transfer in or out from Level 3 in 2023 and 2022.

  2. For the fair value of level 3 of the Group, the investment management department is

~275~

responsible for the independent verification of the fair value of such financial instruments in the evaluation process. The evaluation results are close to the market status through independent sources of information, and the data sources are independent, reliable, consistent with other resources, and represent executable prices. The evaluation model is calibrated regularly, backtracked, and updated for the input values and information required by the evaluation model, and any other necessary fair value adjustments are made to ensure that the evaluation results are reasonable.

In addition, the investment management department formulates the fair value evaluation policies, evaluation procedures, and confirmation of financial instruments in accordance with the relevant international financial reporting standards.

IV. The impacts that major capital expenditures have on financial operations in the most recent year:

In response to customer demands and process optimization, capital expenditures have shown an upward trend in recent years, contributing to the Company's revenue and profits. However, the Company has had no major capital expenditures in recent years.

V. Reinvestment policy in the most recent the main reasons for its profit or loss, improvement plan, and investment plan for the coming year:

(I) Reinvestment policy for the most recent year:

In the near future, our main investment target includes increasing the revenue ratio from automotive products and speeding up the process of entering the automotive supply chain system. Based on this, we will focus on the production and sales of automotive (electric vehicle) electronic products, increase product breadth and production capacity to improve the proportion of high-margin products and boost profitability.

  • (II)Main reasons for the profit or loss of reinvestment in the most recent year:

The investees had difficulty in operation due to the industrial structure change and reduced market demand, but the Company still recognized the investment income of NTD 22 thousand in 2023.

(III) Improvement Plan:

The Company has reviewed the reinvestment cases regularly to review whether the investment results have reached the original set goals, and modified the

~304~

investment strategy and investment case evaluation model accordingly to ensure that future reinvestment cases can achieve the policy goals.

  • (IV)Investment plan for the next year:

Investment plans will be implemented according to the customer needs and capacity planning, the internal investment procedures, and the approval authority.

VI. Risk Item Appraisal

Risk Management Analysis

(I)The effects that interest rate, exchange rate fluctuations, and inflation have on the profits and losses of the Company as well as the future countermeasures.

  1. The impact of interest rate changes:

  2. The central banks in Europe and the U.S. have all raised interest rates to high levels to restrain inflation. Given the prospect of gradual easing of inflation and higher probability of economic recession, the central banks will begin reducing interest rates in the future. The Company's financial leverage ratio is low and interest expenses are relatively low. However, the decline in interest rates still helps reduce financial expenses. Therefore, the Company will actively review changes in capital requirements and borrowing interest rates, strive to maintain good relationships with financial institutions, use various financing tools flexibly, control interest costs, and meet capital needs. While we invest short-term idle funds in stable-yield financial products, we aim to increase interest income and reduce the risk arising from changes in interest rates.

  3. The impact of exchange rate changes:

  4. The US dollar remains strong due to the Fed's rate hike, but the FED will begin to cut rates. The continuation of the Russo-Ukrainian war and geopolitical competition and cooperation will lead to more drastic exchange rate fluctuations in various regions. The strong USD brings the Company the benefit of exchange rate. In the future, the drastic fluctuation of exchange rate between USD and various regional currencies will have impact on the financial statements of subsidiaries. Therefore, the Company will closely observe the fluctuation of exchange rate and refer to the recommendations of professional financial institutions, and adopt the corresponding hedging financial products to avoid the risk that exchange rate changes will affect the Company's profitability.

  5. The impact of inflation:

After rising continuously, global inflation is expected to moderate gradually. However, due to the impact of the Russo-Ukrainian war and Israel–Hamas war,

~305~

geopolitical competition, and changes in the supply chain, global inflation is expected to reduce in a very slow pace. To prevent inflation from eroding profits, the Company will continue to pay close attention to the raw material market fluctuations caused by political and economic changes in various regions worldwide, maintain good relationships with customers, and adjust cost structure and sales strategies in a timely manner in order to reduce any impacts that inflation may have on the Company’s profits.

  • (II) Policies for engaging in high-risk and high-leverage investments, fund loans to others, endorsements, and derivative products; main reason for profit or loss; and future countermeasures.

This Company has never engaged in high-risk or highly-leveraged investments. Loaning funds to others, making endorsements/guarantees, and trading of derivatives are handled in accordance with the regulations approved by the Board of Directors and relevant internal regulations. Loaning funds and making endorsements/guarantees are supported by the subsidiary's fund allocation arrangement. Derivative transactions are only for foreign currency claims related exchange rate hedging. The Company will regularly review the results to ensure compliance with relevant transaction procedures. .

(III)Future R&D plans and anticipated investments in R&D expenses:

In the future, we will continue to upgrade the R&D and manufacturing technology of electric vehicle (EV) wiring harnesses (such as high-voltage wiring harnesses, highvoltage line system integration, high-frequency and high-speed wiring harnesses), industrial control and medical high-end wiring harnesses, and customized PCB related products to meet customer needs. The R&D expenses in 2024 are expected to be maintained at 1-2% of annual revenue, about NT$400-500 million, and will be adjusted in a timely manner depending on market competition and customer needs.

(IV) The effects that the key domestic and international policy and law changes have on the financial operations of the Company as well as the countermeasures.

The Company always pays close attention to the political and economic changes, important policies and legal updates in the operating regions, and adjusts its operating strategies accordingly, and strives to comply with regulations and maintain normal operations. As of the publication date of this annual report, the Company has not experienced any significant impact on its financial businesses due to changes in important domestic and foreign policies and laws.

(V)Impacts of technological changes (including cyber security risks) and industry changes on the Company's financial operations, and countermeasures.

~306~

The R&D and sales departments actively work closely with customers to discuss the development direction of technology and technology, jointly develop new products, and strive for new business opportunities. Moreover, the IT Department observes cybersecurity incidents from time to time, and adjusts control measures to ensure information security. As a result, changes in technology (including information security) do not create material impact on the financial business of the Company.

(VI) The effects that corporate image have on corporate crisis management and the countermeasures.

At Pan-International, we adhere to the business philosophy of honesty and integrity, care for the community and protects the environment, and strive to invest in ESG-related improvements to maintain a good corporate image. Therefore, we receive praise for our operations and development by customers, suppliers and outsiders. No management crisis occurred due to changes in our corporate image.

(VII)Expected benefits, possible risks, and countermeasures for mergers and acquisitions.

The Company currently does not have plans for corporate mergers and acquisitions, but will review investment opportunities based on customer needs and market changes. If there are such plans in the future, a dedicated unit will make appropriate assessments and avoidance plans to determine the expected benefits and possible risks.

(VIII) Expected benefits and possible risks of plant expansions as well as the countermeasures.

The Company currently has no plans for any major plant expansions. However, the Company will closely observe changes in the global economy, fully communicate with customers, and review production capacity settings dynamically. If there is any demand for plant expansion, a dedicated unit and related technical team will be assigned to conduct a professional feasibility assessment.

(IX) The risks of concentrated procurement or sales as well as the countermeasures.

Except for our affiliates, we have no excessive procurement and sales concentration problem compared with peers. In the future, we will actively develop new customers and suppliers to prevent future risks and enhance competitiveness.

(X) The effects and risks that large-number transfers or replacements of directors, supervisors, or major shareholders holding over 10% of the Company's shares have to the Company as well as the countermeasures.

The Company has no such situation.

(XI) The effects and risks that operating rights changes have to the Company as well as the

~307~

countermeasures.

The Company has no operating rights change related situation.

(XII)Litigation or non-litigation events.

  1. The Company and its affiliated companies have not experienced any major litigation, non-litigation, or administrative disputes in the last two years and as of the publication date of this annual report.

  2. The directors, president, and substantive persons in charge of the Company have never been convicted or involved in a major litigation, non-litigation, or administrative dispute.

  3. The 2023 Financial Report of Hon Hai Precision Inc. Co., Ltd. (the Company's major shareholder holding over 10% of its shares) has been audited by CPAs. Hon Hai has been undergoing product patent disputes and other lawsuits. However, after the assessment, Hon Hai believes that such lawsuits have no significant impact on its business and financial status. Therefore, Hon Hai's impending lawsuits are assessed to have no significant effect on this Company's financial status.

(XIII) Other important risks and countermeasures: None

VII.Other material issues: None.
