Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Raydium Semiconductor Corporation:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statement of Raydium Semiconductor Corporation (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statements Audits 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 Professional Ethics for Certified Public Account 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 of our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Based on our judgment, the key audit matters that should be disclosed in this audit report are as follows:
1. Valuation of inventories
Please refer to note 4(8) for the accounting policy of inventory valuation; note 5 for the estimation and assumption uncertainty of the valuation of inventory; and note 6(4) for information on estimation of the valuation of inventory to the consolidated financial statements.
~4~
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.
Description of key audit matter:
The Group may write down the cost of inventories to net realizable value due to normal wear and tear, obsolescence or no market value. The inventory valuation may result in material changes because of decline in demand and prices. Due to the introduction of new products in the market, the original outdated products no longer meet the market demand, resulting in the cost of inventory to exceed its net realizable value. Therefore, the valuation of inventory is one of our key audit matters.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
The principal procedures include testing the inventory aging reports and analyzing the aging of inventories for each period; inspecting the production and sales meeting minutes to assess the destocking; assessing whether the valuation of inventories has been carried out in accordance with the established accounting policies; and performing retrospective testing on inventories to verify the appropriateness of the inventory provision.
- Revenue recognition from contracts with customers
Please refer to note 4(14) “Revenue recognition” for the accounting policy on revenue recognition; and note 6(18) “Revenues from contracts with customers” for revenue recognition.
Description of key audit matter:
The Group mainly engages in the development, design and sale of display driver, touch control, and power management integrated circuit products. The recognition of operating revenue is determined according to the trade term agreed with the customers. The Group recognizes revenue depending on the various sales terms in each individual contract with customers to ensure its performance obligation has been satisfied by transferring its control to its customer. It is necessary to determine the performance obligations and the time at which they are satisfied. Therefore, the appropriateness of recognising revenue in the correct accounting period is one of our key audit matters.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In relation to the key audit matter above, our principal audit procedures included understanding and testing the Group’s controls surrounding the revenue process and cash collection transaction process; analyzing the type of principal revenue and trading terms; selecting samples and inspecting contracts with customers or customers’ orders to assess the adequacy of the timing on revenue recognition; and randomly selecting sales transactions incurred within a certain period before or after the balance sheet date by reviewing documents to ensure that revenue was recognized in the appropriate period.
Other Matter
The Company has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion.
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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRIC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
~4-1~
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.
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.
-
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 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 and 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.
~4-2~
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, 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 An-Chih Cheng and Chien-Hui Lu.

The principal activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the Group) are the development, design and sale of display driver, sequential control and power management integrated circuit products.
The Company's shares were listed on Taiwan Stock Exchange on January 7, 2022.
2. Date and Procedures of Authorization of Financial Statements for Issue:
The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on February 25, 2025
3. Application of Newly Issued or Revised Standards and Interpretations:
- (1) The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. which have already been adopted.
The Group has initially adopted the following new amendments, which do not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, from January 1, 2024:
-
●Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current”
-
●Amendments to IAS 1 “Non-current Liabilities with Covenants”
-
●Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 “Supplier Finance Arrangements”
-
●Amendments to IFRS 16 “Lease Liability in a Sale and Leaseback”
-
(2) The impact of IFRSs endorsed by the FSC but not yet effective
The Group assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2025, would not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements:
- ●Amendments to IAS 21 “Lack of Exchangeability”
~9~
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- (3) The impact of IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
The following new and amended standards, which may be relevant to the Group, have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:
| Standards or Interpretations IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” |
Content of amendment Effective date per IASB The new standard introduces three categories of income and expenses, two income statement subtotals and one single note on management performance measures. The three amendments, combined with enhanced guidance on how to disaggregate information, set the stage for better and more consistent information for users, and will affect all the entities. ●A more structured income statement: under current standards, companies use different formats to present their results, making it difficult for investors to compare financial performance across companies. The new standard promotes a more structured income statement, introducing a newly defined ‘operating profit’ subtotal and a requirement for all income and expenses to be allocated between three new distinct categories based on a company’ s main business activities. ●Management performance measures (MPMs): the new standard introduces a definition for management performance measures, and requires companies to explain in a single note to the financial statements why the measure provides useful information, how it is calculated and reconcile it to an amount determined under IFRS Accounting Standards. ●Greater disaggregation of information: the new standard includes enhanced guidance on how companies group information in the financial statements. This includes guidance on whether information is included in the primary financial statements or is further disaggregated in the notes. January 1, 2027 |

At the end of each subsequent reporting period, (hereinafter referred to as the reporting date), monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at that date.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date when 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.
~12~
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss, except for the foreign currency items of financial instruments that applied the accounting policy of IFRS No. 9 “ Financial Instruments”.
When the profit or loss of non-monetary item is recognized in other comprehensive income, then any change in the exchange foreign currency of the above items is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the profit or loss of non monetary item is recognized in profit or loss, then any change in the exchange foreign currency of the above items is recognized in profit or loss.
- B. Foreign operations
The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated to NTD using the exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses are translated to NTD at the average rate for the period. Foreign currency differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
- (5) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
The Group classified the asset as current under one of the following criteria, and all other assets are classified as non-current:
-
A. It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;
-
B. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
C. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
D. The asset is cash or a cash equivalent (as defined in IAS 7) unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
The Group classifies the liability as current under one of the following criteria, and all other liabilities that are classified the non-current:
-
A. It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;
-
B. It is held the liability primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
C. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; or
-
D. The Group does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
-
(6) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes are classified as cash equivalents.
~13~
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(7) Financial instruments
- A. Financial assets
The Group classifies financial assets into the following categories: amortized cost, FVOCI and FVTPL.
The Group shall reclassify all affected financial assets only when it changes its business model for managing its financial assets.
(a) Financial assets 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.
Such financial assets are initially recognized at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. Subsequently, these assets are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. 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. A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.
(b) Financial assets at FVOCI
A debt investment is measured at FVOCI 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 achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; 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.
Some accounts receivable are held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling by the Group, therefore, those receivables are measured at FVOCI.
On initial recognition of an equity investment that is not held for trading, the Group may irrevocably elect to present subsequent fair value changes in the investments in other comprehensive income. This election is made on an instrument-by-instrument basis.
~14~
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
A financial asset measured at FVOCI is initially recognized at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction costs. These assets are subsequently measured at fair value. Interest income calculated using the effective interest method, foreign exchange gains and losses, impairment losses deriving from debt investments, and dividends income of equity investment (unless the dividend clearly represent a recovery part of the cost of investment) are recognized in profit or loss. Other net gains and losses of financial assets are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in unrealized gains or losses of financial assets measured at FVOCI under equity. On derecognition, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income of debt investments are reclassified to profit or loss. However, gains and losses accumulated in other comprehensive income of equity investments are reclassified to retain earnings instead of profit or loss.
Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established.
(c) Financial assets at FVTPL
All financial assets not classified as amortized cost or FVOCI described as above are measured at FVTPL. On initial recognition, the Group may irrevocably designates 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.
Such financial assets are initially recognized at fair value, and attributable transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss as incurred. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at fair value and changes therein are recognized in profit or loss.
(d) Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes loss allowances for expected credit loss (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, and other financial assets), and debt investments measured at FVOCI.
The Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the financial instrument that is determined to have low credit risk (the risk of default in financial instrument duration) at the reporting date and the credit risk thereof has not increased significantly since initial recognition, which is measured at an amount equal to the 12-month expected credit losses. Loss allowance for accounts receivable are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs 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).
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Group is exposed to credit risk.
~15~
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
ECLs are probability-weighted estimate of credit losses over the expected life of financial assets. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls, the difference between the cash flows due to the Group in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Group expects to receive. ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both qualitative and quantitative information and analysis, based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, as well as forward-looking information.
In the circumstance that a financial asset is past due or the borrower is unlikely to pay its credit obligations to the Group in full, the Group considers the credit risk on that financial asset has significantly increased, or further, to be in default.
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. For debt securities at FVOCI, the loss allowance is charged to profit or loss and is recognized in other comprehensive income instead of reducing the carrying amount of the asset. The Group recognizes the amount of expected credit losses (or reversal) in profit or loss, as an impairment gain or loss.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off either partially or in full to the extent that there is no realistic prospect of recovery. This is generally the case when the Group determines that the debtor does not have assets or sources of income that could generate sufficient cash flows to repay the amounts subject to the write-off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Group’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
(e) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial assets when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial assets to another entity.
B. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
(a) Classification of debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual agreements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.
~16~
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(b) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities that are not classified as held-for-trading or designed as at FVTPL, which comprise loans borrowings and accounts payable, are measured at fair value, plus any directly attributable transaction cost at the time of initial recognition. Subsequent to initial recognition, they are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method.
(c) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid is recognized in profit or loss.
- (d) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the statement of balance sheet when, and only the Group currently has the legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(8) Inventories
Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The cost of inventories is based on the weighted average method, and includes expenditures and other costs incurred in bringing them to their existing location and condition. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and selling expenses.
(9) Property, plant and equipment
- A. 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.
B. Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Group.
~17~
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- C. 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.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative years of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
-
(a) Research equipment: 2~4 years
-
(b) Transportation equipment: 5~6 years
-
(c) Office equipment: 3~5 years
-
(d) Leasehold improvements: 2 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
-
(10) Leases
-
A. Identifying a lease
At inception of a contract, the Group 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. To assess whether a contract is a lease, the Group assesses whether:
-
(a) the contract involves the use of an identified asset – this may be specified explicitly or implicitly, and should be physically distinct or represent substantially all of the capacity of a physically distinct asset. If the supplier has a substantive substitution right, then the asset is not identified; and
-
(b) the Group has the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the asset throughout the period of use; and
-
(c) the Group has the right to direct the use of an asset if either:
-
The Group has the right to direct use of the identified asset when it has the decision-making rights that are most relevant to the changes on how and for what purpose the asset is used throughout the period.
-
The relevant decisions about how and for what purpose the asset is used are predetermined and:
-
-the Group has the right to operate the asset without the supplier having the right to change those operating instructions; or -
-the Group designs the asset in a way that predetermines how and for what purpose it will be used.
-
At inception or on reassessment of a contract that contains a lease component, the Group
~18~
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of their relative stand-alone prices. However, for the leases of land and buildings in which it is a lessee, the Group has elected not to separate non-lease components and account for the lease and non-lease components as a single lease component.
B. As a lessee
The Group 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 Group’ s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
-
(a) fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments;
-
(b) variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;
-
(c) amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and
-
(d) payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:
-
(a) there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or
-
(b) there is a change in the Group’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or
-
(c) there is a change in the assessment regarding the purchase option; or
-
(d) there is a change in the assessment on whether the Group will exercise an extension or termination option; or
-
(e) there is modifications of the subject, scope, or other terms of the lease.
~19~
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
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, and the remaining remeasured amount is recognized in profit or 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 Group 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 the profit or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.
The Group presents its right-of-use assets that do not meet the definition of investment properties and lease liabilities as a separate line item respectively in the balance sheets.
The Group has elected not to recognize the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for its offices, employee dormitory, telecommunication equipment and parking lot, which quality as short-term leases, as well as its other equipment, which qualify as short term leases and low-value assets leases. The relevant lease payments are recognized in expense on a straight line basis during the lease period.
-
(11) Intangible assets
-
A. Recognition and measurement
Goodwill arising on the acquisition of subsidiaries is measured at cost, less accumulated impairment losses.
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 Group 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 patents, that are acquired by the Group and have finite useful lives are measured at cost, less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
- B. 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 is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
~20~
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
C. 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, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives for the current and comparative periods are as follows:
(a) Patents and technology: 2~5 years
(b) Computer software: 0.5~5 years
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
- (12) Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Group 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 using impairment test. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment.
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 from other assets or cash generating units (CGUs). Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to cashgenerating units (“CGUs”) or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset or cash generating units (CGU) are 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 the 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 first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
An impairment loss in respect of goodwill is not reversed. For other assets, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.

(13) Provisions
A provision is recognized when the Group has a present obligation arising from a past event, it is probable that the Group will be required to make an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits to settle the obligation, and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. When the time value of currency is significant, the provision for liabilities is discounted at current pre-tax rates that adequately reflect the specific risks of the liabilities. The amount of the liabilities increased by time, is recognized as the borrowing cost when the liabilities are discounted.
A provision for warranties is measured with weighting factors based on historical experience of warranty claims rate and other possible outcomes against their associated probabilities.
- (14) Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Group expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Group 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 Group’s main types of revenue are explained below.
A. Sale of goods
Revenue is recognized when the control over a product has been transferred to the customer. 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, as well as when the product has been accepted by the customer according to the terms of sales contract, or when the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
When the Group receives an advance payment from a customer, the advance amount of such future performance obligation shall be recognized as a contractual obligation, which shall be derecognized when the performance obligation is satisfied and then recognized as revenue.
A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the Group has a right to an amount of consideration that is unconditional.
Due to the application of IFRS 15, the sale return and allowance based on historical experience and other known causes were reclassified to provision of liabilities.
B. Financing components
The Group expects that the length of time when the Group transfers the goods or services to the customer and when the customer pays for those goods or services will be less than one year. Therefore, the amount of consideration is not adjusted for the time value of money.

(15) Employee benefits
- A. Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to the defined contribution plans are expensed as related services is provided.
- B. Defined benefit plans
The Group’s net obligation in respect of defined benefit plans is calculated separately for each of 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.
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 Group, 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, 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 Group 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 the defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Group recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
C. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits obligations are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amounts expected to be paid if the Group 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.
(16) Share-based payment transaction
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 amounts 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 shall be based on the number of awards that meet the related services and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
~23~
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
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 at which the Group and employees reach a consensus in the subscription price and number of shares.
- (17) Income taxes
Income taxes comprise 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 shall be 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.
Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax basis.
Deferred taxes are not recognized for the following exceptions:
-
A. temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and that affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) at the time of the transaction;
-
B. temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Group 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
-
C. 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, and reflect the uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:
-
A. the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
-
B. the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
-
(a) the same taxable entity; or
~24~
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
- (b) 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 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.
(18) Earnings per share
The Group discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. The calculation of basic earnings per share is based on the profit attributable to the ordinary shareholders of the Company, divided by the weighted-average number of current ordinary shares outstanding. The calculation of diluted earnings per share is based on 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 dilutive potential ordinary shares, such as employee compensation not yet approved by the Board of Directors and can be issued by stock and unvested restricted employee stock awards.
(19) Operating segments information
An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may incur revenues and earn expenses (including revenues and expenses relating to transactions with other components of the Group). Operating results of the operating segment are regularly reviewed by the Group’s chief operating decision maker to make decisions about resources to be allocated to the segment and to assess its performance. Each operating segment consists of standalone financial information.
5. Significant Accounting Judgments, and Major Sources of Estimation and Assumptions Uncertainty:
In preparation these consolidated financial statements, management has made judgments and estimates about the future, including climate-related risks and opportunities, 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.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are consistent with the Company’s risk management and climate-related commitments where appropriate. Revisions to estimates are recognised prospectively in the period of the change and future periods.
Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements is as follows:
~25~
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
Valuation of inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Group uses judgements and estimates the net realizable value of inventories for obsolescence and unmarketable items at the reporting period. It also writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value. This inventory valuation may result from material changes in product demand due to the introduction of new products in the market, obsolescence or non-conformity of the original products, which may result in lower demand and prices, resulting in the risk that the cost of inventories may exceed its net realizable value. Please refer note 6(4) for valuation of Inventory.
The Group’s accounting policies and disclosures include the fair value measurement for financial and nonfinancial assets and liabilities. The financial management center of the Group is responsible for performing fair value verification and bringing the evaluation results comparable to market price based on independent, reliable, and representative executable price information. The Group also periodically assesses the evaluation model, performs retrospective tests, and updates inputs together with any other necessary fair value adjustment for the evaluation model in order to ensure the reasonableness of the results of the valuation.
The Group evaluates the assets and liabilities using the observable market inputs. The hierarchy of the fair value depends on the valuation techniques used and is categories as follows:
Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identifiable assets or liabilities.
-
Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices).
-
Level 3: inputs for the assets or liabilities that are not based on observable market data (unobservable inputs).
For any transfer within the fair value hierarchy, the Group recognizes the transfer on the reporting date. For the assumption used in fair value measurement, please refer to note 6(21).

The Group has assessed a portion of its trade receivables that was held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; therefore, such trade receivables were measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Group uses a simplified approach to provide for its expected credit losses, i.e. the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivable. To measure the expected credit losses, accounts receivable have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due, as well as the incorporated forward-looking information.
The accounts receivable from related parties having significant impact over the Group and other individuals amounted to $1,687,547 thousand and $1,676,659 thousand as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively. The days past due is less than 100 days, so there is no expected credit loss for the duration of the related party's accounts receivable.
The loss allowance provision of customers with relatively low credit risk was determined as follows:

Note 1: The above-mentioned amounts have been reclassified to other receivables. The terms of the transaction relating to factoring are based on the factoring consent for buyer. Such transaction should be factoring without recourse.
-
Note 2: Within the factoring quota, if the original debtor is unable to pay or may be unable to pay due to financial difficulties, the risk of non-payment will be borne by the purchasing agency, not the Group. The original debtor's credit risk will be borne by the purchasing agency and the credit risk described above is the uncollectable debt risk due to default by the original debtor without reasonable cause.
-
Note 3: The Group informed the original debtor pursuant to account receivables to make payment directly to the Group’s restricted account with the purchasing bank.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, total outstanding receivables after the above transactions, net of fees charged by purchasing bank, of $2,088,796 thousand and $2,123,891 thousand, respectively, were recognized as other current financial assets; please refer to note 6(8).

As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Group’ s intangible assets were not pledged as collateral.
B. Impairment test on goodwill
The Group conducts impairment tests on goodwill. As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, it was determined that the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to be greater than its carrying amount based on their value in use; hence, no impairment loss were recognized.
The key assumptions used in the estimation of value in use were as follows:
| Discount Rate Revenue growth rate Sustainable growth rate |
December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 8% 12% 3%~5% 5%~14% 2% 3% |
|---|---|
The discount rate was based on the industry-weighted average cost of capital and adjusted for a risk premium to reflect both the increased risk of generally investing in equities and the systemic risk of the specific cash-generating unit.
Revenue growth rate was projected by taking into account the average growth levels experienced over the past few years and by projecting sales growth over the next five years.
The cash flow projection was based on the five-year financial budget as assessed by management, and for cash flows projections over five years, it was extrapolated in reference to the economic growth rate where the unit operates.
When the recoverable amount of a cash generating unit is greater than the carrying amount, the management identifies the discount rate and the sustainable growth rate as key assumptions. The reasonable likelihood of a change in the above two key assumptions would expose the carrying amount to the risk of exceeding its recoverable amount. However, the management analyzed that the above key assumptions would not have resulted in a loss of impairment if they are at a negative status of 0.5%.

- (21) Financial instruments
A. Credit risk
(a) Credit risk exposure
The carrying amount of financial assets represent the maximum amounts exposed to credit risk.
(b) Credit risk concentration
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. As of the financial reporting date, the maximum credit risk exposure of the Group due to non-performance of the counterparty mainly derived from the carrying amount of the financial assets recognized in the balance sheet of the Group.
The Group’s potential credit risk is derived primarily from cash and cash equivalents and trade receivables. The cash is deposited in different financial institutions. The Group manages the credit risk exposure with each of these financial institutions and believes that cash and cash equivalents do not have a significant credit risk concentration.
~49~
Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
In addition to granting credit facilities to customers in accordance with the credit procedures, the Group will require insurance for accounts receivable from certain customer groups in order to reducing the credit risk of accounts receivable, and use historical trading experience to continuously assess the financial condition, credit condition and current economic environment of the customers.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Group’ s five largest customers accounted for approximately 52% and 56% of the balance of accounts receivable (including related parties), respectively. After an assessment has been made on the lifetime expected credit losses of the accounts receivable, the management expects no significant losses in the future.
(c) Credit risk of receivables
For credit risk exposure on accounts receivable, please refer to note 6(3).
Other financial assets at amortized cost include other receivables, guarantee deposit and restricted bank deposits.
All of financial assets excluding the abovementioned accounts receivable are considered to be low risk, and thus, the impairment provision recognized during the period was limited to 12 months expected losses. (Please refer to note 4(7) of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 for further details of how the Group determines whether credit risk is to be low risk).

Raydium Semiconductor Corporation and Subsidiaries Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements
(b) Sensitivity analysis
The Group’s exposure to foreign currency risk arises mainly from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivable, other financial assets, short-term borrowings, accounts payable and guarantee deposits received, that are denominated in foreign currency. A strengthening (weakening) of 1% of the NTD against the USD, RMB, and JPY as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, assuming that all other variables remain constant, would have increased or decreased the profit after tax by $17,848 thousand and $11,770 thousand, respectively.
(c) Foreign exchange gains (losses) on monetary items
As the Group deals with diverse foreign currencies, gains and losses on foreign exchange were summarized as a single amount. The aggregate of realized and unrealized foreign exchange gains (losses) for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 were $98,830 thousand and $2,990 thousand, respectively.
D. Interest rate analysis
An increase or decrease of 0.25% in interest rates, mainly from cash and cash equivalents, restricted time deposits and short term borrowings, with floating interest rates at the reporting date, assuming all other variables remain constant, would have increased or decreased net income by $3,382 thousand and $3,070 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
E. Other market price risk
The impact of the changes in equity price on other comprehensive income was as follows, assuming the analysis use the same basis for both years, with other factors remaining constant:
| F. | Prices of securities at the reporting date Increasing 10% Decreasing 10% Fair value of financial instruments |
For the years ended December 31, 2024 2023 Other comprehensive income before tax Other comprehensive income before tax $ 55,924 43,439 $ (55,924) (43,439) |
