Independent Auditors’ Report

To the board of directors of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.:

Opinion

We have audited the parent company only financial statements of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.(“ the Company” ), which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2023, and 2022, the statement of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirement. Based on our audits and the report of another auditor, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for using equity method. Those financial statements were audited by another auditor, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those investments, is based solely on the report of another auditor. The Company’s investment in these companies both constituting 14% of the total assets, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. The related share of profit of subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method amounted constituting 23% and 17% of the profit after tax, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. only financial statements of the current period. 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. In our professional judgments, key audit matters to be communicated in the independent auditors’ report are listed below:

KPMG, a Taiwan partnership and a member firm of the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.

3-1

1. Evaluation of inventories

Please refer to note 4(g) “Inventories”, note 5 “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty”, and note 6(e) “Inventories” of the financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

Inventories of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the fast high-tech revolution, as well as the advancement of production technologies that may lead the dramatic change in customers’ demand, the net realizable value of inventories requires subjective judgments of the management, which is the major source of estimation uncertainty. Therefore, the evaluation of inventories is one of the key audit matters for our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our principal audit procedures included: understanding the policies of evaluating the inventories of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.; inspecting whether existing inventory policies are applied; examining the accuracy of the aging of inventories by sampling and analyzing the changes of the aging of inventories; inspecting the reasonableness of the allowance provided for inventory valuation in the past and comparing it to the current year to ensure that the measurements and assumptions are appropriate.

  1. Investments accounted for using equity method

Please refer to note 4(h) “Investments in subsidiaries”, and note 5 “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty” of the financial statements.

Description of key audit matter:

Based on the scope and nature of their businesses of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.’ s subsidiaries accounted for using equity method, the net realizable value of inventories in certain subsidiaries required the managements to make subjective judgments, which is the major source of estimation uncertainty and may influence the outcome of their operations. Therefore, the valuation of inventories of the subsidiaries accounted for using equity method is one of the key audit matters for our audit.

In 2014, PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. acquired Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd. through its subsidiary, Diamond (Cayman) Holdings Ltd., the transaction resulted in the Company to recognize its goodwill, technologies, and customer relations, as intangible assets. The rapid industrial transformation and the assessment of impairment contained estimation uncertainty. Therefore, the assessment of impairment of intangible assets is one of the key audit matters for our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

For the principal audit procedures on the valuation of inventories of the investments accounted for using equity method, please refer to key audit matters 1. “Evaluation of inventories”. In addition, the consolidated financial statements of Tymphany Worldwide Enterprises Ltd. and its subsidiaries were audited by other auditors; therefore, we issued audit instructions to their auditors as guidelines to communicate the key audit matters with them and obtained the feedbacks required in the audit instructions.

3-2

The principal audit procedures on the assessment of recoverable amount of the investments accounted for using equity method included: evaluating the identification of cash generating units and any indication of impairment made by management; acquiring impairment assessment reports from external expert engaged by the Company; reviewing the impairment assessment reports and assessing the reasonability of measurements, parameters, and assumptions; evaluating the operation outcomes and comparing them to the past forecasts; making sensitivity analysis for evaluation of impairment losses and evaluating the completeness of disclosure in the financial reports.

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 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 that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.’ s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.’s financial reporting process.

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

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about 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 is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism. 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 Company’s internal control.

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

3-3

  1. 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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.’s 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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  3. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investments in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on this parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion of PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.

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 PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are SHYH-GANG HORNG and HUNG-WEN FU.

(a) Statement of compliance

These annual parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (“ the Regulations”).

(b) Basis of preparation

  • (i) Basis of measurement

Except for the following significant accounts, the parent company only financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis:

  • 1) Financial instruments at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value;

  • 2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value; and

  • 3) The defined benefit liabilities are measured at fair value of the plan assets, less the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

(Continued)

10

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

(ii) Functional and presentation currency

The functional currency is determined based on the primary economic environment in which the Company operates. The Company’ s parent company only financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency. All financial information presented in New Taiwan dollars has been rounded to the nearest thousand.

(c) Foreign currencies

(i) Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated to the functional currency of the Company at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rate at that date. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into functional currency using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.

Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for the difference relating to an investment in equity securities designated as at fair value through other comprehensive income, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(ii) Foreign operations

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated to the Company’s functional currency at the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated to the Company’ s functional currency at the average rate. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When a foreign operation is disposed of such that control, significant influence, or joint control is lost, the cumulative amount in the translation reserve related to that foreign operation is reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on disposal. When the Company disposes of any part of its interest in a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation while retaining control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reattributed to noncontrolling interest. When the Company disposes of only part of its investment in an associate or joint venture, including a foreign operation while retaining significant influence or joint control, the relevant proportion of the cumulative amount is reclassified to profit or loss.

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from or payable to a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, foreign exchange gains and losses arising from such a monetary item are considered to form part of the net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(Continued)

11

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

  • (d) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

An asset is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current.

  • (i) It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) The asset is cash or a cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

A liability is classified as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities are classified as non-current.

  • (i) It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  • (ii) It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (iii) It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or

  • (iv) It does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issuing equity instruments do not affect its classification.

  • (e) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprise petty cash, cash on hand and demand deposits. Cah equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

Time deposits with maturities within three months or less which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.

  • (f) Financial instruments

Accounts receivables are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value, plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A accounts receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

(Continued)

12

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

  • (i) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets classified as the same categories are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at amortized cost; fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI) ; or fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL).

Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.

  • 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:

  • it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 2) Fair value through other comprehensive income (FVOCI )

On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Company may irrevocably elect to present subsequent changes in the investment’ s fair value in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Company’s right to receive payment is established.

(Continued)

13

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

  • 3) Fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL)

All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL, including derivative financial assets. On initial recognition, the Company may irrevocably designate a financial asset, which meets the requirements to be measured at amortized cost or at FVOCI, as at FVTPL if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces an accounting mismatch that would otherwise arise.

These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Net gains and losses, including any interest or dividend income, are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 4) Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest

For the purposes of this assessment, principal is defined as the fair value of the financial assets on initial recognition. Interest is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin.

In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers:

  • contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows;

  • terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate features;

  • prepayment and extension features;and

  • terms that limit the Company’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. nonrecourse features).

  • 5) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables, other receivables, guarantee deposit paid and other financial assets, etc).

The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:

  • Bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.

Loss allowance for accounts receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

(Continued)

14

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Lifetime ECL are the ECL that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.

12-month ECL are the portion of ECL that result from default events that are possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period considered when estimating ECL is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.

When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company’ s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forwardlooking information.

The Company assumes that the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly if it is more than 61 days past due.

The Company considers a financial asset to be in default when the financial asset is more than 361 days past due or the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Company in full.

ECL are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECL are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.

At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost are credit-impaired. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred. Evidence that a financial assets is credit-impaired includes the following observable data:

  • significant financial difficulty of the borrower or issuer;

  • a breach of contract such as a default or being more than 361 days past due;

  • the lender of the borrower, for economic or contractual reasons relating to the borrower’s financial difficulty, having granted to the borrower a concession that the lender would not otherwise consider;

  • it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or

  • the disappearance of an active market for a security because of financial difficulties.

Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.

(Continued)

15

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.

Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering the financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. The Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.

6) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expired, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

The Company enters into transactions whereby it transfers assets recognized in its statement of balance sheet, but retains either all or substantially all of the risks and rewards of the transferred assets. In these cases, the transferred assets are not derecognized.

  • (ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments

1) Classification of debt or equity

Debt or equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of financial liability and an equity instrument.

2) Equity instrument

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences the residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.

3) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as measured at amortized cost or FVTPL. A financial liability is classified as at FVTPL if it is classified as held-for-trading, it is a derivative or it is designated as such on initial recognition. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are measured at fair value; and net gains and losses, including any interest expense, are recognized in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.

(Continued)

16

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expired. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.

On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 5) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • (iii) Derivative financial instruments

The Company holds derivative financial instruments to hedge its foreign currency and interest rate exposures. Derivatives are initially measured at fair value. Subsequent to initial recognition, derivatives are measured at fair value, and changes therein are generally recognized in profit or loss.

(g) Inventories

Inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted-average-costing method and includes expenditure incurred in acquiring the inventories, production or conversion costs, and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. In the case of manufactured inventories and work in progress, cost includes an appropriate share of production overheads based on normal operating capacity.

Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.

(h) Investments in subsidiaries

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method. There is no difference between net income and comprehensive income in the Company’s parent company only financial statements and net income and comprehensive income attributable to stockholders of the parent. The equity in the Company’s parent company only financial statements and the equity attributable to stockholders of the parent in the Company’s consolidated financial statements are also the same.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions. When the Company loses control over its subsidiaries, the Company derecognizes the investment by the book value on the date of loss of control and remeasures the rest of the investments at fair value on the same date.

(Continued)

17

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

(i) Investment property

Investment property is the property held either to earn rental income or for capital appreciation or for both, but not for sale in the ordinary course of business, for use in the production or supply of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Investment property is measured at cost on initial recognition, and subsequently at cost, less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation expense is calculated based on the depreciation method, useful life, and residual value, which are the same as those adopted for property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount) is recognized in profit or loss.

Rental income from investment property is recognized as other income on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. Lease incentives granted are recognized as an integral part of the total rental income, over the term of the lease.

  • (j) Property, plant and equipment

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.

If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

(ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.

  • (iii) Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated on the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight line basis over the estimated useful lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.

Land has an unlimited useful life, and therefore is not depreciated.

The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

  • 1) Buildings and additional equipment: 1 ~ 51 years

  • 2) Machinery and equipment: 1 ~4 years

  • 3) Other equipment: 1 ~5 years

(Continued)

18

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each annual reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

  • (iv) Reclassification to investment property

A property is reclassified to investment property at its carrying amount when the use of the property changes from owner occupied to investment property.

(k) Lease

At inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

  • (i) As a lessee

The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:

  • 1) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;

  • 2) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • 3) amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and

  • 4) payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised or penalty should be paid.

(Continued)

19

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.

Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:

  • 1) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or

  • 2) there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or

  • 3) there is a change of its assessment on purchase option; or

  • 4) there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise a purchase, extension or termination option; or

  • 5) there is any lease modifications

When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.

When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.

The Company presents right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment property and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the statement of financial position.

The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for leases of machinery and other equipment that have short-term leases and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(ii) As a lessor

When the Company acts as a lessor, it determines at lease commencement whether each lease is a finance lease or an operating lease. To classify each lease, the Company makes an overall assessment of whether the lease transfers to the lessee substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership incidental to ownership of the underlying asset. If this is the case, then the lease is a finance lease; if not, then the lease is an operating lease. As part of this assessment, the Company considers certain indicators such as whether the lease is for the major part of the economic life of the asset.

When the Company is an intermediate lessor, it accounts for its interests in the head lease and the sub-lease separately. It assesses the lease classification of a sub-lease with reference to the right-of-use asset arising from the head lease, not with reference to the underlying asset. If a head lease is a short-term lease to which the Company applies the exemption described above, then it classifies the sub-lease as an operating lease.

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

If an arrangement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company applies IFRS15 to allocate the consideration in the contract.

The Company recognizes lease payments received under operating leases as income on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • (l) Intangible assets

  • (i) Recognition and measurement

Expenditure on research activities is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

Development expenditure is capitalized only if the expenditure can be measured reliably, the product or process is technically and commercially feasible, future economic benefits are probable and the Company intends to, and has sufficient resources to, complete the development and to use or sell the asset. Otherwise, it is recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, development expenditure is measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

Other intangible assets, including trademarks, patents and copyrights, that are acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.

(ii) Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • (iii) Amortization

Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use.

The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:

  • 1) Trademarks 10 years

  • 2) Patents 2.5~10 years 3) Copyrights 15 years

Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values, are reviewed at each annual reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.

(Continued)

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

(m) Impairment of non-financial assets

At each annual reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than inventories and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.

For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or CGUs.

The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value-in-use and its fair value, less costs to sell. Value-in-use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.

An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.

(n) Revenue from contracts with customers

Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer. The accounting policies for the Company’s main types of revenue are explained below.

(i) Sale of goods

The Company sales computer peripherals and non-computer peripherals to customers. The Company recognizes revenue when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, the acceptance provisions have lapsed, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

The Company often offers volume discounts to its customers based on aggregate sales of components. Revenue from these sales is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume discounts. Accumulated experience is used to estimate the discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognized to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. A contract liability is recognized for expected volume discounts payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. No element of financing is deemed present as the sales of components are made with a credit term of 45 days to 120 days, which is consistent with the market practice.

A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Company has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.

Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

(ii) Rendering of services

The Company provides services, such as model research, development, and design to customers. Revenue from providing services is recognized in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognized based on the actual service provided to the end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided.

Estimates of revenues, costs or extent of progress toward completion are revised if circumstances change. Any resulting increases or decreases in estimated revenues or costs are reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the circumstances that give rise to the revision become known by management.

  • (iii) Financing components

The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.

(o) Deferred grant service

Deferred grant revenue with additional conditions shall be recognized if the Company fulfills the conditions and the grant revenue becomes receivable.

Deferred grant revenue shall be recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis in the periods in which the expenses it is to compensate are recognized. Grant revenue with conditions to compensate for the acquisition cost of an asset shall be deferred and recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.

If the deferred grant revenue is to compensate for the Company’s expenses that have been incurred or to supply immediate financial support to the Company and there is no related cost in the future, it shall be recognized in profit or loss when the grant revenue becomes receivable.

(p) Employee benefits

(i) Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to the defined contribution plans are expensed as related services are provided.

(ii) Defined benefit plans

The Company’s net obligation in respect of the defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each the plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount and deducting the fair value of any plan assets.

(Continued)

23

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.

Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest) and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.

(iii) Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as related services are provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.

(q) Share-based payment

The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognized as an expense, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period of the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.

For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the sharebased payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.

Grant date of a share-based payment award is the date which the board of directors authorized the price and the number of shares that employees can subscribe for.

(r) Income taxes

Income taxes expenses include both current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss.

Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

(Continued)

24

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.

Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities at the reporting date and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:

  • (i) temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) and does not give raise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences;

  • (ii) temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and

  • (iii) taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:

  • (i) the Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  • (ii) the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:

  • 1) the same taxable entity; or

  • 2) different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date, and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized; such reductions are reversed when the probability of future taxable profits improves.

(s)

Earnings per share

The Company discloses the basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted-average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares. Dilutive potential ordinary shares comprise accrued employee remuneration and restricted stock.

(t) Operating segments

Please refer to the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, for further details.

(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management has made judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The management continues to monitor the accounting estimates and assumptions. The management recognizes any changes in accounting estimates during the period and the impact of those changes in accounting estimates in the following period.

Information about assumption and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year is as follows.Those assumptions and estimation have been updated to reflect the impact of economic uncertainty.

(a) Valuation of inventories

As inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Company estimates the amount due to inventories’ obsolescence and unmarketable items at the reporting date and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. The net realizable value of the inventory is mainly determined based on assumptions as to future demand within a specific time horizon. Due to the rapid industrial transformation, there may be significant changes in the net realizable value of inventories. Please refer to note 6(e) for valuation of inventories.

  • (b) Valuation of inventories and impairment assessment of intangible assets and investments of investments accounted for using equity method

Please refer to above for inventories valuation. The assessment of impairment of intangible assets and investments accounted for using equity method required the Company to make subjective judgments on cash-generating units, allocate the intangible assets to relevant cash-generating units, and estimate the recoverable amount of relevant cash-generating units. Changes in economic conditions or changes in assessment caused by business strategies could result in significant impairment charges or reversal in future years.

The Company’s accounting policies include measuring financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. The Company has established an internal control framework with respect to the measurement of fair value and regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and valuation adjustments. If third-party information, such as broker quotes or pricing services, is used to measure fair value, then the Company assessed the evidence obtained from the third parties to support the conclusion that such valuations meet the requirements of IFRSs, including the level in the fair value hierarchy in which such valuations should be classified.

(Continued)

26

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.

Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

The Company strives to use market observable inputs when measuring assets and liabilities. Different levels of the fair value hierarchy to be used in determining the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:

  • (a) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identifiable assets or liabilities.

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

  • (c) Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).

For any transfer within the fair value hierarchy, the impact of transfer is recognized on the reporting date. Please refer to note 6(w) for assumptions used in measuring fair value.

  • 7) Sensitivity analysis

When computing the present value of the defined benefit obligations, the Company uses judgments and estimations to determine the actuarial assumptions, including discount rates and future salary changes, as of the financial statement date. Any changes in the actuarial assumptions may significantly impact the amount of the defined benefit obligations.

If the actuarial assumptions had changed, the impact on the present value of the defined benefit obligation shall be as follows:

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Reasonably possible changes at the reporting date to one of the relevant actuarial assumptions, holding other assumptions constant, would have affected the defined benefit obligation by the amounts shown above. Many assumption changes may affect each other in practice. The method used in the sensitivity analysis is consistent with the calculation of pension liabilities in the balance sheets.

There were no change in the method and assumptions used in the preparation of the sensitivity analysis for 2023 and 2022.

(ii) Defined contribution plans

The Company allocates 6% of each employee’s monthly wages to the labor pension personal account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Pension Act.

Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

According to the ROC Company Act, capital surplus can only be used to offset a deficit, and only the realized capital surplus can be used to increase the common stock or be distributed as cash dividends. The aforementioned realized capital surplus includes capital surplus resulting from premium on issuance of capital stock and earnings from donated assets received. According to the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, the capital increase via transferring of the paid-in capital, in excess of par value, should not exceed 10% of the total common stock outstanding.

Tymphany Huizhou, a subsidiary of Company, repurchased shares from employee stock ownership plan in cash and cancelled such shares for a capital reduction in May 2022, resulting in an increase of the shareholding of the Company from 71.43% to 77.01%. The Company recognized the change in its ownership interest in the subsidiary as capital surpluslong-term equity investments. Please refer to note 6(t) of the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

(iii) Retained earnings

According to the articles of the Company, when allocating the earnings for each year, the Company shall first offset its losses in previous year and set aside a legal capital reserve at 10% of the earing left over, until the accumulated legal capital reserve has equaled the total capital of the Company; then set aside a special capital reserve in accordance with relevant laws, the balance of the earnings shall combined into an aggregate amount of undistributed earnings, which shall become the aggregate distributable earnings to be distributed according to the distribution plan proposed by the board of directors and submitted to the stockholders’ meeting for resolution.

The Company is at the growth stage and considers its future cash demand, long-term financial plans, benefits to stockholders, and balanced dividends. Earnings distribution is made by stock dividend and cash dividend. The cash dividend shall not be less than 10 percent of the total dividends and could be adjusted depending on the Company’s operating condition.

1) Legal reserve

If the Company experiences profit for the year, the distribution of the statutory earnings reserve, either by new shares or by cash, shall be decided at the shareholders’ meeting, and the distribution amount is limited to the portion of legal reserve which exceeds 25 percent of the paid-in capital.

2) Special reserve

By choosing to apply exemptions granted under IFRS 1 “ First-time Adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards” during the Company’s first-time adoption of IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the FSC, retained earnings increased by $97,300 by recognizing the cumulative translation adjustments (gains) on the adoption date as deemed cost. In accordance with the FSC, the increase in retained earnings due to the first-time adoption of IFRSs shall be reclassified as special reserve, and when the relevant asset is used, disposed of, or reclassified, this special reserve shall be reversed as distributable earnings proportionately. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the carrying amount of special reserve both amounted to $97,300.

(Continued)

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD.

Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

In accordance with the FSC, a portion of earnings shall be allocated as special earnings reserve during earnings distribution. If the Company has already reclassified a portion of earnings to special reserve under the preceding subparagraph, it shall make supplemental allocation of special reserve for any difference between the amount it has already allocated and the amount of the current-period total net reduction of other shareholders’ equity. An equivalent amount of special reserve shall be allocated from the after-tax net profit in the period, plus items other than after-tax net profit in the period, that are included in the undistributed current-period earnings and the undistributed prior-period earnings. Similarly, a portion of undistributed prior-period earnings shall be reclassified as special earnings reserve (which does not qualify for earnings distribution) to account for cumulative changes to other stockholders’ equity pertaining to prior periods. Amounts of subsequent reversals pertaining to the net reduction of other stockholders’ equity shall qualify for additional distributions.

3) Earnings distribution

On May 25,2023 and May 26, 2022, the shareholders’ meeting resolved to distribute the 2022 and 2021 earnings, respectively. The distributions for 2022 and 2021 were NT$3.9(dollars) and NT$3.1(dollars) per share, which amounted to $1,791,794 and $1,411,230, respectively.

The earnings distributions for 2023 were proposed to be NT$4(dollars) per share which amounted to $1,851,727 during the board of directors meeting held on February 26, 2024.

  • 2) Sensitivity analysis

The Company’ s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts and other receivables (including related parties), notes and accounts payable (including related parties), and other payables (including related parties) that are denominated in foreign currency. A weakening (strengthening) of 5% of the TWD against the USD as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, would have decreased or increased the net profit before tax by $176,985 and $124,936, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

  • 3) Exchange gains and losses on monetary items

The Company’s exchange gains and losses on monetary items (including realized and unrealized) translated to functional currency were as follows:

  • (iv) Interest rate analysis

Please refer to the paragraph of liquidity risk management for the interest rate exposure of the Company’s financial assets and liabilities.

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to the interest rate risk of nonderivative financial instruments on the reporting date. Regarding liabilities with variable interest rates, the analysis is based on the assumption that the amount of liabilities outstanding at the reporting date was outstanding throughout the year. The rate of change is expressed as the interest rate increases or decreases by 0.25% when reporting to management internally, which also represents the Company management’ s assessment of the reasonably possible interest rate change.

(Continued)

53

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 0.25%, and assumed all other variables remain constant, the net profit before tax would have increased or decreased by $6,294 and by $5,928 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. This is mainly due to borrowings and bank savings with variable interest rates.

(v) Other price risk

If the market price of the equity securities had changed on the reporting date, the influence on other comprehensive income is as follows (The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods and assumes all other variable remain constant):

  • 2) Fair value valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value

If a financial instrument has a quoted price in an active market, the quoted price is used as fair value. The quoted price of a financial instrument obtained from major exchanges and over-the counter markets are the basis used to determine the fair value of a listed company’s stock and the quoted prices in an active market.

A financial instrument is regarded as being quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency and those prices represent actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm’s-length basis. If these conditions can not be reached, then the market is non-active. In general, a market with low trading volume or high bid-ask spreads is an indication of a non-active market.

The Company uses the following methods in determining the fair value of its financial instruments without a quoted price in an active market:

  • a) The fair value of derivative instruments is based on quoted prices. When quoted prices are unavailable, the fair value is estimated on the basis of the contract’s spot exchange rate and swap point.

  • b) Financial assets at FVOCI – non-current are investments in domestic or foreign non-listed stock. The estimated fair value is based on the market approach of comparable business and lack of liquidity. When prices are available, the fair value is estimated on the basis of unadjusted prior trade prices.

  • 3) In 2023 and 2022, there were no transfers between Levels.

  • 4) Reconciliation of Level 3 fair values

  • 5) Quantified information on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement

The fair value measurements of the Company which are categorized within level 3 are classified as financial assets and liabilities at FVTPL – non-derivative financial assets and derivative instruments not used for hedging and financial assets at FVOCI – equity investment without an active market. The quantitative information about significant unobservable inputs was as follows:

  - note 1: The fair value is based on the market value, and it has considered the recent financing activities, comparable business, market and other economic conditions etc., to determine the assumptions. Also, the significant unobservable inputs are marketability discount, but any changes of marketability discount would not result in significant potential financial impact, therefore there is no need to show the quantified information on it.

  - note 2: The fair value is based on the quotation of a third party, therefore there is no need to show the sensitivity analysis of unobservable inputs.
  • (x) Financial risk management

  • (i) Overview

The Company has exposure to the following risks from financial instruments:

  • 1) Credit risk

  • 2) Liquidity risk

  • 3) Market risk

This note presents information on exposure to each of the above risks and on the objectives, policies, and processes for measuring and managing risk. For detailed information, please refer to the related notes on each risk.

(Continued)

57

PRIMAX ELECTRONICS LTD. Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

(ii) Structure of risk management

The Company’ s risk management policies are established to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, to set appropriate risk limits and controls, and to monitor risks and adherence to limits. Risk management policies and systems are reviewed regularly to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company’s activities. The Company, through its training and management standards and procedures, aims to develop a disciplined and constructive control environment in which all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Company’s board of directors oversees the management’s monitoring of the Company’s risk management policies and procedures, and reviews the adequacy of the risk management framework in relation to the risks faced by the Company. The board of directors is assisted in its oversight role by an internal auditor. The internal auditor undertakes both regular and ad hoc reviews of risk management controls and procedures, the results of which are reported to the board of directors.

(iii) Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Company if a customer or a counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations and arises principally from the Company’ s cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivables (including related parties), and derivative instruments.

1) Cash and cash equivalents

The Company had deposited $5,214,211 (including restricted deposits) in O-Bank and 10 other financial institutions, and $2,697,679 (including restricted deposits) in HSBC Bank and 7 other financial institutions, representing 13% and 8% of total assets, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The Company believes that there is no significant credit risk from the above-mentioned financial institutions.

2) Accounts receivable

Sales to individual customers (including related parties) constituting over 10% of total revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, totaled 48% and 42%, respectively; also 47% and 49%, respectively, of the ending balance of accounts receivable (including related parties) were accounted for by those customers. In order to reduce credit risk, the Company assesses the financial status of each customer and the possibility of collection of receivables on a regular basis. The above-mentioned customers are profitable and have a good credit record; hence, and the Company did not suffer any significant credit loss from those customers during the financial reporting period.

3) Derivative instruments

The Company entered into derivative instrument contracts with reputable and creditworthy financial institutions. The Company believes that the risk that these financial institutions may default on these contracts is relatively low and anticipates no significant credit loss.

Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

(iv) Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk that the Company will encounter difficulty in meeting the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as far as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’ s reputation.

The Company manages sufficient cash and cash equivalents so as to cope with its operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. The Company had unused credit line of $13,458,671 and $13,379,228 as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

(v) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates, and equity prices, will affect the Company’ s income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

1) Currency risk

The Company is exposed to currency risk on sales, purchases, and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the functional currency. These transactions are denominated in USD.

The Company uses forward exchange contracts and foreign exchange swap contracts to hedge its currency risk. The Company makes performance reports and reviews operating strategy regularly, and believes that there is no significant risk because the gains or losses from exchange rate fluctuation will mostly be offset by the hedged item.

2) Interest rate risk

The Company’s main assets and liabilities with a floating-interest-rate basis are deposits and long-term borrowings. The Company believes that cash flow risk arising from interest rate fluctuation is insignificant.

(y) Capital management

The board’ s policy is to maintain a strong capital base so as to maintain investor, creditor, and market confidence, and to sustain future development of the business. Capital consists of ordinary shares, capital surplus, retained earnings, other equity, and non-controlling interests.

The Company sets its objectives for managing capital to safeguard the capacity to continue to operate, to continue to provide a return to stockholders, to safeguard the interest of related parties, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

The Company’s debt ratio as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, were 56% and 54%, respectively.
