CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT SEPTEMBER 30, 2025 AND 2024
For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors’ review report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ review report and financial statements shall prevail.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
PWCR25001998
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of PRESIDENT SECURITIES CORPORATION
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of President Securities Corporation and subsidiaries (the "Group") as at September 30, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months and nine months then ended, as well as the consolidated statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the nine months then ended and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with “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 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope of Review
Except as stated in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standard on Review Engagements 2410, “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” of the Republic of China. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion
As explained in Notes 4(3) and 6(13), the financial statements of certain insignificant consolidated subsidiaries and investments accounted for under the equity method were not reviewed by independent auditors. Those statements reflect total assets of $1,595,862 thousand and $1,525,365 thousand, constituting 0.74% and 0.78% of the consolidated total assets, and total liabilities of $76,648 thousand and $59,882 thousand, constituting 0.04% and 0.04% of the consolidated total liabilities as at September 30, 2025 and 2024, and total comprehensive income (loss) of $40,582 thousand, ($10,312) thousand, $77,392 thousand and $12,203 thousand, constituting 1.56%, (1.50%), 2.55% and 0.29% of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months and nine months then ended. The balances of such investments accounted for under the equity method as at September 30, 2025 and 2024 were $3,397,824 thousand and $852,964 thousand, respectively; the Group’s share of comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method, including share of profit or loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method and share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method, for the three months and nine months then ended were $125,380 thousand, $89,248 thousand, $282,693 thousand, and $275,150 thousand, constituting 4.82%, 12.97%, 9.32% and 6.46% of total consolidated comprehensive income, respectively. Qualified Conclusion
Except for the adjustments to the consolidated financial statements, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain insignificant consolidated subsidiaries and investments accounted for under the equity method been reviewed by independent auditors, as described in the Basis for qualified conclusion section above, based on our reviews, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of President Securities Corporation and subsidiaries as at September 30, 2025 and 2024, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the three months and nine months then ended in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms”,

11) Transfer of financial assets
A. During the Group’s activities, the transferred financial assets that do not meet derecognition conditions are mainly debt instruments with purchase agreements or debt instruments lent out in accordance with securities borrowing and lending agreement. The cash flow of the contract has been transferred and related liabilities of transferred financial assets that will be repurchased at a fixed price in the future have been reflected. The Group may not use, sell or pledge the transferred financial assets during the valid period of the transaction. The financial assets were not derecognized
~21~
as the Group is still exposed to interest rate risk and credit risk.

A. No interest was capitalized for intangible assets for the nine months ended September 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 |
Brokerage Segment 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.

A. Defined benefit plans
-
(A) The Group has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law, covering all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Law. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. The Group contributes monthly an amount which ranges between 2.0% and 7.2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the supervisory committee of workers’ retirement reserve fund, and with Cathay United Bank, under the name of the management committee of employees’ retirement fund. Also, the Group would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by the end of December 31, every year. If the account balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method, to the employees expected to be qualified for retirement next year, the Group will make contributions to cover the deficit by next March.
-
(B) Under the defined benefit pension plan, the Group recognized the pension costs for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 in the statement of comprehensive income in the amounts of $409, $564, $1,227 and $1,692, respectively.

B. Defined contribution plans
Effective from July 1, 2005, the Group established a defined contribution plan pursuant to the “Labor Pension Act”, which covers employees with R.O.C. nationality and those who chose or are required to apply the “Labor Pension Act”. The contributions are made monthly based on not less than 6% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance.

-
(D) Derivatives - futures trade margin
When engaging in futures trades in stock exchange market, the Group needs to deposit margin into a margin deposit account of a financial institution designated by the futures merchants as a guarantee to fulfil contractual obligation in the future. As a result, the credit risk is low.
- (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).
~54~
-
(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.
-
(K) Receivables
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.
~55~
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 | Stage1 | Stage2 | Stage 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| 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 sheetdate. |
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
~56~
financial asset is credit-impaired since initial recognition includes but is not limited to the following:
- a. Contractual payments or principal or interest payments on bonds are over 3 months (90 days) past due.
- b. Bond investment is rated as “in default” by external credit rating agencies.
- c. Bond issuer has filed for bankruptcy, restructure, or other debt clearance procedures.
- d. Issuer or counterparty has financial difficulties.
-
(C) Writing-off policy
-
If any of the following condition applies, the Group will write off the non-recoverable portion of the overdue receivables as bad debt.
-
a. Debt cannot be fully or partially recovered due to dissolution of, disappearance of, settlement with, bankruptcy declaration by the debtor, or any other reason.
-
b. The collateral and the assets of the primary and secondary debtors could not be auctioned off after multiple attempts and multiple price discounts, and the Company has not received any real benefits in assuming the collateral.
-
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.
-
D.Table of movements in loss provision of the Group
-
(A) At September 30, 2025, December 31, 2024 and September 30, 2024, there were no changes in the loss allowance for investments in debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
(B) Except for bond interest receivable which was evaluated along with debt investments, the Group applies the simplified approach to measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for margin loans receivable, accounts receivable, other
~57~
receivable-others and overdue receivables. The movements in loss provision of margin loans receivable, accounts receivable, other receivable-others and other non-current assetsoverdue receivables of the Group are as follows:

3) Liquidity risk
- A. Definition and source of liquidity risk
Liquidity risk refers to possible financial losses arising from the inability to realize the asset or to obtain sufficient fund to fulfil the financial liabilities soon to be matured. Above situations may weaken the sources of cash from the Group’s trading and investment activities.
- B. Liquidity risk management procedure and stimulation test
In order to prevent operational crisis as a result of liquidity risk, the Group has established responding crisis process with regular monitoring over liquidity gap of fund.
- (A) Procedure
In addition to the operating capital for various business and long-term investment, the Group needs to maintain revolving funds at a certain level for daily operation. The use of remaining fund shall avoid high concentration and should be based on the principle of holding sound earning assets with high liquidity and treated in compliance with policies of
~58~
the Group.
The responsive unit for fund procurement adjusts the liquidity gap to ensure proper liquidity according to the daily volume and movement in the market.
-
(B) Simulation 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.
~59~
(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 Long-term loans 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.

5) Fair values and hierarchy information
-
A. Financial instruments and non-financial instruments not measured at fair value
- Except for those listed in the table below, the carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments not measured at fair value (including cash and cash equivalents, bonds purchased under resale agreements, margin loans receivable, refinancing guaranty deposits, guaranteed proceeds receivable from refinancing, guaranteed price deposits for security borrowing, security borrowing deposits, customer margin deposit account, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term loans, commercial paper payable, bonds sold under repurchase agreements, guarantee deposit received from short sales, guaranteed price deposits received from securities borrowers, security borrowing deposits, equity of futures traders, accounts payable, collection for others, and other payables) approximate their fair values. The fair value information of financial instruments measured at fair value is provided in Note 12(5)3.
==> picture [455 x 174] intentionally omitted <==
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 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
~66~
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 nine months ended September 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 nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, some of the unlisted stocks became the emerging stocks, therefore these stocks were transferred from Level 3 to Level 2.

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.
