For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
PWCR25001612
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of PRESIDENT SECURITIES CORPORATION
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of President Securities Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, as well as the consolidated statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and notes to the consolidated 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 the Other matter section), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at June 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and June 30, 2024, and its consolidated financial performance for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Futures Commission Merchants, and the International Accounting Standard No. 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
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 consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of
~2~
Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgement, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2025 are stated as follows:
Fair value measurement of unlisted stocks without active market
Description
Please refer to Note 4 for the accounting policies on unlisted stocks without active market (shown as “financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income”) and Note 5 for details of critical accounting judgements, estimates and assumption uncertainty. As at June 30, 2025, the unlisted stocks without active market held by the Group totaled 1,510,853 thousand New Taiwan Dollars and were shown as “financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income” (Level 3 fair value).
Due to the lack of an active market, the fair value of the unlisted stocks held by the Group was determined using the valuation method. Management commissioned experts to assist in measuring their fair value based on comparable listed companies using the market approach. The main assumptions of the market approach are calculated based on the latest related parameters of comparable listed companies in similar industries and considering discounts on market liquidity or assessment of risk.
Above-mentioned estimation of fair value involves various assumptions and material unobservable inputs, which has high uncertainty and subjective judgement. Any changes in
~3~
judgements and estimates may affect the ultimate result of accounting estimates and have an impact on the financial statements of the Group. Thus, we have included the fair value measurement of unlisted stocks without active market as a key audit matter in our audit.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:
-
Obtained an understanding and assessed policy documents, internal control system, fair value measurement models and approval processes that are related to fair value measurement of unlisted stocks;
-
Ascertained whether the measurement methods used are commonly adopted in the industry;
-
Assessed the reasonableness of parameters used by similar companies;
-
Examined inputs and calculation formulas used in valuation models and agreed such data to supporting documents.
Other matter – Reference to the audits of other auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for under the equity method which were audited by other auditors. Therefore, our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in respect of these associates, is based solely on the report of the other auditors. The balance of these investments accounted for under the equity method amounted to 2,370,754 thousand New Taiwan Dollars, constituting 1.20% of the consolidated total assets as at June 30, 2025, and the comprehensive income recognized from associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method amounted to 12,144 thousand New Taiwan Dollars and (45,449) thousand New Taiwan Dollars, constituting 3.07% and (10.53%) of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months and six months then ended.
~4~
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion with other matter paragraph and an unqualified opinion of President Securities Corporation, as at and for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
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 Firms, Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Futures Commission Merchants, and International Accounting Standard No. 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statement that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
~5~
Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated 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 throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
~6~
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
-
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters,
-
the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that 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 the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when,
~7~
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.

A. No interest was capitalized for intangible assets for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
-
B. Goodwill and customer relationships were acquired through acceptance of transfer of the securities brokerage business of Standard Chartered (Taiwan) Bank’s retail banking business and were all allocated to the Group’s brokerage segment.
-
C. The recoverable amount of goodwill was periodically determined based on its value in use. Calculations of value in use after-tax cash flow projections are based on financial budgets approved by the management covering a five-year period. Cash flows beyond the five-year period are extrapolated using the estimated growth rates stated below.
The recoverable amount calculated based on the value in use exceeded the carrying amount, thus the goodwill was not impaired. The key assumptions used for calculation of value in use are as follows:
| Growth rate Discount rate |
BrokerageSegment 2024 0.00% 12.10% |
|---|---|
Management determined the growth rate based on past performance and its expectations of market development. The discount rates were based on the weighted average financing cost rates determined by the Company’s capital asset pricing model. The discount rates also reflect specific risks related to relevant operating segments.

Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the current year’s earnings, if any, shall first be used to pay all taxes and offset prior years’ operating losses and then 10% of the remaining amount shall be set aside as legal reserve. Except for covering accumulated deficit or issuing new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, the legal reserve shall not be used for any other purpose.

2) Credit risk
-
A. Source and definition of credit risk
The credit risk exposure of the Group as a result of engagement in financial transactions include issuer’s credit risk, credit risk of counterparty and credit risk of underlying assets:
-
(A) Credit risk of the issuer refers to the issuers of financial debt instruments held by the Group failing to repay its obligation due to the fact that the issuer breaches the contract resulting in the risk of financial loss to the Group.
-
(B) Credit risk of counterparty refers to risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the counterparty of financial instruments on the settlement or payment obligation.
-
(C) Credit risk of the underlying assets happens when the credit rating of the underlying assets linked to the financial instrument is downgraded by the rating agency or when the losses occur as a result of contract default.
The financial assets held by the Group which could result in credit risk include bank deposit, debt securities, derivatives transactions in OTC, bonds purchased/sold under resale/repurchase agreements, refundable deposit of securities lending, futures trade margins, other refundable deposits and receivables.
- B. Maximum credit risk exposure and credit risk concentration
The maximum exposure to credit risk of financial assets in the consolidated balance sheet, without consideration of the collateral or other credit enhancements, is equivalent to the carrying amount. In Taiwan, the sources of credit risk of the Group are primarily resulting from cash deposited with banks or other financial institutions, debt securities issued or guaranteed by a bank, derivative instruments transaction underwritten by the Group, and all counterparties of customer margin deposits accounts being financial institutions. Credit risks of various financial assets are as follows:
- (A) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include time deposit, demand deposits and checking deposits. Correspondent institutions are mainly domestic financial institutions.
-
(B) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss - current
-
a. Fund The funds held by the Group are bond funds. As the positions held are not significant, credit risk is deemed low.
-
b. Commercial papers
The commercial papers held by the Group are under resale agreements. As all the counterparties are financial institutions with good credit, the credit risk from counterparties is extremely low.
~56~
- c. Debt securities
Debt securities are mainly positions like government bonds, convertible corporate bonds and foreign bonds and the issuers are primarily R.O.C. government, domestic and foreign legal entities. 8% of convertible corporate bond is guaranteed by banks. Details are as follows:
- (a) Government bonds
The bonds held by the Group are mostly government bonds (inclusive of central and local government). As a whole, the credit risk of the bonds held by the Group is low.
- (b) Corporate bonds
The corporate bonds held by the Group are mainly underlying investment with good credit rating and those with rating above (S&P BB).

- (E) Derivatives - OTC
The Group signs International Swaps and Derivatives Association (ISDA) agreements with each counterparty when engaging in OTC derivatives as an agreement regarding such transactions for both parties. In the agreement, it provides a fundamental contractual model for OTC derivative transactions. If any party breaches the contract or terminates the transactions early, then all the open interest covered in the agreement should be settled by net amount as bound in the contract. When the ISDA agreement is signed, the Credit Support Annex (CSA) is also signed. According to the CSA, collateral will be transferred from a party to the other during transaction process to mitigate the risk of counterparty in open interest. Please refer to Note 6(12).
Types of OTC derivative transactions in which the Group is engaged include structured notes and swap transaction. The counterparties are all from financial service industry and mainly located in Taiwan, United States, and United Kingdom.
- (F) Bonds investment under a resale agreement Bonds sold under a resale agreement are the bonds that the client sold to the Group at a price, interest rate, length of period as agreed by two parties and the client shall repurchase the bonds at the specified price upon maturity. The Group needs to assume credit risk from counterparties when underwriting such business, as the payment being delivered to the other party. With consideration of good collateral obtained, the net of credit risk exposure from counterparties can be effectively reduced. As all the counterparties are financial institutions with good credit rating, the credit risks from counterparties are extremely low. Please refer to Note 6(12).
~57~
-
(G) Margin loans receivable
-
Margin loans receivable are the loans provided to the client in order to process businesses of margin trading and short sale using the securities purchased through financing as collateral. The Group monitors the clients’ margin ratio through information system on a daily basis. As the margin ratio of margin trading is set at 130% according to Regulations Governing the Conduct of Securities Trading Margin Purchase and Short Sale Operations by Securities Firms, the credit risk is extremely low.
-
(H) Receivables of securities business money lending Receivables of securities business money lending are the non-restricted purpose loan business and monetary financing business, pursuant to an agreement between a securities firm and a customer, using customer securities and other commodities as collateral. The Group regularly assesses its customer line of credit and implements appropriate credit control. As the margin ratio of margin trading is set at 130% according to Regulations Governing the Conduct of Securities Trading Margin Purchase and Short Sale Operations by Securities Firms, the credit risk is extremely low.
-
(I) Guaranteed price for securities lending Guaranteed price for securities lending is the sale price of the Group’s securities sold by other securities firms through margin trading after deduction of securities transactions tax and service fee, which is deposited in other securities firms as collateral. As all the counterparties are financial institutions with good credit rating, the credit risk from counterparties is extremely low.
-
(J) Refundable deposits for securities lending Refundable deposits for securities lending are the margins deposited in other securities firm as collateral when the Group’s securities are sold. As all the counterparties are financial institutions with good credit, the credit risk from counterparties is extremely low.

-
Receivables are the credit rights arising from the securities business including settlement receivables of consignment trading, settlement receivables of operating securities sold, financing interest receivables of self-operating credit transaction, receivables of consignment trading for securities, and receivables from banks’ underwriting on foreign exchange transactions and foreign fund demand. As the majority of the Group’s receivables from the consignment businesses and self-operating businesses are settlement of securities from OTC or TWSE, the credit risk is extremely low. As the foreign exchange transactions are simply the receipt or payment of different currencies and the correspondent banks are of good credit rating, the credit risk is extremely low.
-
(L) Other current assets Other current assets are mainly the collateral deposited in the bank for application for shortterm debt limit and guarantee for application for issuance of commercial papers. As the correspondent banks are all financial institutions with good credit rating, the credit risk is extremely low.
-
(M) Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss - non-current In order to underwrite trust business, the Group deposits central government bonds in the Central Bank as collateral. Regardless of the bonds themselves or the financial institutions where the bonds are deposited, the credit risk is extremely low.
-
(N) Other non-current assets
-
Other non-current assets mainly comprise operating guarantee deposits, settlement funds, and refundable deposits. Operating guarantee deposits are mainly deposited in domestic banks with good credit rating. Settlement funds are deposited in securities exchange.
~58~
Settlement funds are used as compensation when a party to a marketable securities transaction fails to fulfil the settlement obligation. The credit risks from the institutions where these two assets are deposited are extremely low. The refundable deposits refer to cash or other assets which are deposited externally by the Group and can be used as refundable deposits. Because deposits are placed in various financial institutions and each deposit amount is small, the credit risk is dispersed and the credit exposure of overall refundable deposit is extremely low.
- C. Expected credit loss assessment
In the assessment of impairment and calculation of expected credit losses, the Group considers reasonable and supporting information about past events, current conditions and future economic conditions. The Group determines at the balance sheet date whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or whether credit impairment has occurred, and recognizes expected credit loss according to which stage the asset belongs: no significant increase in credit risk or low credit risk at balance sheet date (Stage 1), significant increase in credit risk (Stage 2), and credit impaired (Stage 3). 12-month expected credit losses are recognized for assets in Stage 1, and lifetime expected credit loses are recognized for assets in Stage 2 and Stage 3. The definition of and expected credit losses recognized for each stage are as follows:
| Item | Stage 1 | Stage 2 | Stage3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Definition | No significant deterioration of credit quality of the financial asset since initial recognition, or the financial asset is considered low-risk at the balance sheet date. |
Significant deterioration of credit quality of the financial asset since initial recognition, but the asset is not yet credit impaired. |
The financial asset is credit impaired at the financial reporting date. |
| Expected credit losses recognition |
12-month expected credit losses |
Lifetime expected credit losses |
Lifetime expected credit losses |
- (A) Judgements of the significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition
Judgements and assumptions used to determine whether the credit risk has a significant increase since initial recognition when the Group calculates expected credit loss under IFRS 9 are as follows:
-
a. If contractual payments are over 30 days past due according to the payment terms, the financial asset is considered to have significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition.
-
b. There is significant increase in credit risk at the reporting date if the credit rating of the issuer has been downgraded by more than 2 grades and the final external credit rating at the reporting date is non-investment grade, if the interest payments are over 30 days past due, or if there has been a default in the past.
-
(B) Definition of default and credit-impaired financial assets
According to the definition of credit impairment set by IFRS 9, a financial asset is creditimpaired when one or more events that have occurred and have a significant impact on the expected future cash flows of the financial asset. The criteria used to judge whether a
~59~

-
c. Payments are over two years past due and could not be recovered after attempts to collect.
-
-
(D) Measurement of expected credit losses
-
The Group considers reasonable supporting information which shows significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition when calculating expected credit losses. Main indexes include: internal/external credit rating, information of past due, credit spread, other market information in relation to the borrower, issuer or counterparty, and significant increase in credit risk of other financial instrument of the same borrower.
-
Investments in bills and bonds
-
(a)Probability of default was based on external credit rating, which include forward-looking information.
-
(b)Loss given default was based on the average loss given default of external credit rating of investment position and counterparties.
-
(c)Exposure at default
- Stage 1, Stage 2 and Stage 3: Total carrying amount (including interest receivable).
-
-
(E) Consideration of forward-looking information Historical loss rate (based on the historical experience in the past 3 to 5 years) as obtained and compared with economic environment in the past, nowadays and future (forwardlooking factor) to see whether there is any significant change, and then to properly adjust future loss rate standards. If any significant default event occurs, the loss rate in the current year will be included in the calculation of future loss rate standard.
-

The responsive unit for fund procurement adjusts the liquidity gap to ensure proper liquidity according to the daily volume and movement in the market.
~61~
-
(B) Stimulation test
-
a. The Group reviews fund liquidity risk from a perspective of supply and demand of fund every month with simulation analysis of available fund for emergency including scenario analysis of cash, funding limit of financial institutions, margin loans and short sale, and value of disposal of position in order to compute maximum available fund and fund demand. Finally, safety stock of fund is reviewed to monitor liquidity risk.
-
b. Above liquidity risk is generally reviewed monthly. However, if the available limit of increment banking credit risk in financing limit of a financial institution is lower than a certain amount (that is, the amount may be timely adjusted according to the fund liquidity in the market and the actual fund demand and supply in an entity), the safety stock will be reviewed weekly. After the early warning report for fund is submitted, the head of finance segment will call for a fund control meeting.
-
c. Other than individual funding liquidity risk of an entity, stress test of minimization funding supply and maximization funding demand in the event of significant crisis is simulated, including:
-
(a)When there is a significant crisis in the market, the financing limit of the financial institutions and the value of disposal of position can be deemed the minimized ratio of fund supply which is then adjusted according to actual condition to compute the total fund supply under maximum stress.
-
(b)Except for the operating expense, the stock concept is adopted for the calculation of total fund demand under maximum stress.
-
(c)The Group should conduct a review to see whether the total minimized fund supply is more than maximized total fund demand. The Group should further review how long (by month) the difference may cover the operating expenses so that the safety stock of fund (by month) under stress test can be computed.
-
(d)The minimum safety stock of fund under stress test (by month) may be adjusted according to the crisis itself and only operating expense for at least 6 months under a normal stimulation can be deemed safe.
-
-
-
C. Maturity analysis for the financial assets and financial liabilities held for liquidity risk management
-
(A)The Group holds cash and sound earning assets with high liquidity in order to fulfil the payment obligation and potential emergency fund demand in the market. Financial assets held for liquidity risk management are mainly cash and cash equivalents, among which, all time deposits mature within a year. Financial assets at fair value through profit and loss are mainly listed stocks, convertible bonds and debt securities. As all of them have positions in active market, the liquidity risk is deemed low.
~62~
(B) Maturity analysis for the financial liabilities is as follows:
| Short-term loans Commercial papers payable Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss - current Non-derivative financial liabilities Derivative financial liabilities Bonds sold under repurchase agreements Deposits on short sales Deposits payable for securities financing Securities lending refundable deposits Futures traders’ equity Accounts payable (includes notes payable) Collections on behalf of third parties Other payables Other financial liabilities - current Lease liabilities Total |

4) Market risk
A. Definition of market risk
Market risk refers to the risk of decrease in the Group’s revenue or value of investment portfolio as a result of the changes in exchange rate, commodity price, interest rate, and stock price or other market risk factors.
The Group continually exercises risk management tools such as sensitivity analysis, Value at Risk, stress test and so on to completely and effectively measure, monitor and manage market risk.
B. Value at Risk (VaR)
Value at Risk is used to measure the possible maximum potential losses in investment portfolio as a result of movement in market risk factor in a specified period and confidence level. The Group currently uses confidence level of 95% to calculate Value at Risk of one day.
A VaR model must reasonably, completely and accurately measure the maximum potential risks of financial instruments or investment portfolio before being adopted as a risk management model by the Group. The VaR model used in risk management is continually certified and retrospectively tested to demonstrate that the model can reasonably and effectively measure the maximum potential risks of financial instruments or investment portfolios.

The fair value of investment property held by the Group was assessed by external valuation experts using comparison approach and income approach, or the fair value can be assessed based on the market price of the area adjacent to the location where the Group’s investment property is located.
-
B. Valuation techniques
-
(A)For financial instruments held for trading purposes which are classified as non-derivative instruments, their fair values are based on their quoted prices in an active market. If there is no quoted market price for reference, a valuation technique will be adopted to measure the fair value. Estimates and assumptions of valuation technique adopted by the Group are in agreement with the information of estimates and assumptions adopted by market users for financial instrument pricing and the said information shall be accessible to the Group. For those classified as derivative instruments, their fair values are based on their market prices if
~69~
their quoted prices are available from an active market. If quoted market prices in an active market are not available, SWAP and IRS are valued at the discounted cash flow method, and options are valued at the Black-Scholes model.
-
(B)When financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income have quoted market
- prices available in an active market, the fair value is determined using the market price.
-
C. Fair value hierarchy of the financial instruments
-
(A)Definitions for the hierarchy classifications of financial instruments measured at fair value a. Level 1
Level 1, are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the Group can access at the measurement date. An active market has to satisfy all the following conditions: a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The Group’s investments in listed stocks, beneficiary certificates, on-the-run Taiwan central government bonds and derivative instruments with quoted market prices, are deemed as Level 1.
- b. Level 2
Inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. Investments of the Group such as emerging stock without active markets, off-the-run issue of government bonds, corporate bonds, bank debentures, convertible corporate bonds, currency swaps, interest rate swaps, options, asset swaps, and most derivatives are all classified within level 2. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, there was no significant transfer of financial instruments between Level 1 and Level 2.
- c. Level 3
Unobservable inputs for the assets or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in unlisted stocks is included in Level 3. For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, some of the unlisted stocks became the emerging stocks, therefore these stocks were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2.

10) Prospective risk for futures trading
The main risk for futures merchants engaging in futures trading is credit risk, which could happen if the margin call cannot be made when it should have been made. While being consigned to conduct the futures trading, the Group pays attention to the individual margin account on a daily basis and request additional margin call or reduction in trading volume when necessary according to the condition of individual customer transactions in order to control the credit risk accordingly. The main risk faced by the Group while engaging in self-operating businesses is market price risk- that is risk of changes in market prices of futures or options contracts as a result of fluctuation in underlying investment index. Losses may occur if the market index price and underlying investment move adversely. However, the Group has set up stop-loss point to control such risk for reasons of risk management.
