I. Report to the Shareholders

Although the impact of new coronavirus epidemic has fully subsided in 2023, the global jewelry market remains challenged by the lingering effects of high inflation. As interest rates continue to rise, consumers cut back on non-essential spending due to expectation. As a result of lower end-demand, clients cut back on orders, resulting in a loss for Regal Holdings at the end of the year. In response, Regal Holdings has been adjusting its factory capacity and allocation of organization staff since the middle of the year, reviewing and setting up business strategies and action plans for each client, continuing to develop new customers, and actively expanding sales of accessories and Karat gold products. Looking forward to 2024, although there are still many uncertainties in the global market, we believe that the bottom has already passed, and the Company and the management team will provide higher quality products to consumers around the world with a more stable constitution.

The consolidated operating income of Regal Holdings for 2023 was NTD 1,148,730 thousand dollars, a year-on-year decrease of 30.42%. The consolidated net loss after tax was NTD 162,920 thousand dollars, and the earnings per share was NTD -4.12. From the perspective of the jewelry manufacturing income portfolio, metalworking revenue decreased by approximately 34% annually, and the gross profit margin of metalworking in 2023 decreased to 2.82% from 21.06% from in the previous year. This was mainly due to decrease in orders from customers in response to the industry trend, and the increase in the unit cost of the products. The plating revenue decreased by about 44% year-on-year, and the gross margin of plating decreased to 2.13% from 14.85% in the previous year, mainly due to the decrease in orders and the continuous increase in precious metal prices during the year.

In order to effectively reduce costs and expenses, Regal Holdings not only continues to strengthen the adjustment mechanism between monthly orders and manpower allocation in production lines, but also continuously upgrades the Group's software and hardware to enhance department efficiency, and appropriately adjusts the total number of staff in consideration of the current situation and future prospects of the industry. In the face of our major customers' continued strategy of increasing in-house production capacity and outsourcing products of difficult process, we have not only continued to streamline our production processes and reduce non-essential steps, but also continued to expand new customers and new product categories. In addition, in order to cope with the risk of international exchange rates, we continue to adopt a conservative hedging strategy to dynamically adjust the most optimal position for risk control, with the aim to minimize the uncertainty of financial costs on profitability.

Looking ahead to 2024, although the global economy is still uncertain, Regal Holdings has gradually

1

stabilized itself after a series of internal and external structural adjustments in the past, and all members have reorganized their resources and actively explored various opportunities to achieve further success. In terms of business development, we have increased the manpower of our business team to serve more customers, continued to enhance our market knowledge to strengthen our responsiveness, and strengthened our efforts in getting mid-to-high-end jewelry orders. We have also developed different cooperation models based on customer attributes in order to become a full partner to our customers that can truly provide value-added services. At the internal management aspect, we launched the KM Project to build a knowledge management framework for the knowledge transfer, planning of training, and the paperlessness. In terms of environment and energy issues, we plan to obtain ISO 14001 and ISO 50001 certification in the first half of this year. The first phase of our solar panel project has already begun operation and testing, which will not only save the Group's electricity costs, but also respond to the world's emphasis on sustainability issues in practical ways. We will also integrate the auditing systems of ISO, RJC and internal control to establish a complete internal control management system and implement it.

As global interest in ESG issues grows, new concepts and regulations are being developed. In response, we will continue to strengthen our investment in ESG issues and improve the sustainability and risk management teams and systems of our subsidiaries. At the sustainability aspect, we will leverage on RPM's ability to produce RJC-certified recycled silver for internal use as well as actively seeking opportunities to become a supplier to other jewelry brands, and will continue to increase our use of renewable energy, as well as improve the transparency and traceability of the materials we use. At the corporate governance aspect, we will continue to improve our existing risk management framework and ensure that the Group's communication with stakeholders, such as investor relations and compliance with laws and regulations, is good and smooth. We will also continue to monitor the implementation of our subsidiaries' strategies and annual plans to ensure that the goals of each of our subsidiaries are being achieved.

On behalf of the Board of Directors and the management team, I would like to sincerely thank all the shareholders of Regal Holdings for their trust under many challenges. In 2024, we will continue to lead the Company forward and strive to create new growth opportunities for the Company and customers. Thanks for all your support and encouragement.

Sincerely,

PHACHARAPON PHAIBOONSUNTORN, Chairman of Regal Holding Co., Ltd.

C. Risk Matters

1. The risk of macroeconomics, political and economic environment, foreign exchange rate and regulations.

  • The country of incorporation of the Company is the British Cayman Islands (with financial services as the main economic activity), and the main country of operation is Thailand (one of the major economy systems in Southeast Asia), which has open economy and without foreign exchange control, and the political and economic environment is still stable. Although the changes of global environment are rapid, we have not had any significant impact on profit or loss due to the change of overall economy or international political condition so far. We always pay attention to market price fluctuations and maintain good relationships with customers and suppliers. Therefore, the profit and loss in recent years has not been significantly affected by the changes of upstream or downstream quotes. Also, if the purchase cost increases due to inflation, we will adjust our procurement strategy, cost structure and product selling price in a timely manner to reduce the impact on profit and loss. In addition, the products that we developed, produced and sold are consumer goods for people's livelihood, which are not belong to licensed or restricted industries. The export of our

6

products is mainly quoted in US dollars, and the procurement and operation related expenses are paid in Thai baht. Therefore, the risk of exchange rate fluctuations mainly comes from accounts receivables denominated in foreign currencies. Since 2014, we have increased our business volume in Thailand and the proportion of accounts receivables in Thai Baht, so as to diversify the concentration of currencies. We also continue to pay attention to fluctuations in the exchange rate market. If there is a need for hedging, financial derivatives will also be used in a timely manner. Therefore, we do not have any material events that affect our finance or business due to important local policies, laws or exchange rate changes in the British Cayman Islands or Thailand. Furthermore, the implementation of our various businesses is handled in accordance with related domestic and foreign policies and legal regulations. We also keep concern on important domestic and foreign policy development trends and legal changes at any time, so as to promptly respond to changes in the market environment and take appropriate countermeasures.

2. Risk to protection of shareholder rights

The laws of registered place, Cayman Islands, of the Company have many different places with the ones of Republic of China. Without contradicting the laws of Cayman Islands, the Company has amended the Articles of the Company in accordance with “Checklist for the Protection of Shareholders' Rights and Interests in the Country of Registration of Foreign Issuers” by TWSE, and keep concern on changes in relevant laws and regulations of the stock exchange, and do our best to protect the rights and interests of investors. However, there are still many differences between laws and regulations of two countries on the company’s operation. Investors cannot directly apply the legal protection view of their investment in a ROC company to their investment in a Cayman Islands company. Investors should consult with relevant advisers or experts to ascertain whether their investment in a Cayman Islands company provides them with the same level of shareholder protection as they would expect.

  • (1) Policy, criteria and composition of compensation:

In accordance with Article 38.3 of the Company's Articles of Association, the compensation of directors may be determined by the Board of Directors with reference to the recommendations of the Remuneration Committee and other general standards in the industry but may only be paid in cash.

In accordance with Article 14.4 of the Company's Articles of Association, the Company shall set aside not less than one percent (1%) of its net profit before tax as compensation to its employees and not more than three percent (3%) of its net profit before tax as compensation to its directors if the Company makes a profit in the year.

Apart from a fix bonus, there is also a profit-sharing program based on the achievement rate of key performance indicators for profit sharing, and the distribution of quarterly incentive. In addition, if the Company makes a profit in the current year, the Company shall set aside not less than one percent (1%) of the net profit before tax as employee compensation in accordance with Article 14.4 of the Company's Articles of Association.

The Company's compensation package, as defined in the "Remuneration Committee Organizational Procedures," includes cash compensation, stock options, stock dividends, retirement benefits or severance pay, allowances and other tangible incentives; the scope of which should be consistent with the guidelines for directors' and managers' compensation in the Annual Report of the Company.

(2) Procedures for setting compensation:

The performance evaluation of the general manager includes the following performance targets: operation safety management, supervising the execution of financial plans, revenue management, strengthening internal control, and implementing quality assurance.

  • B. The Company's directors and managers are evaluated and reviewed by the Remuneration Committee and the Board of Directors in order to determine the reasonableness of their

33

performance and remuneration, taking into account their performance and contribution to the Company, the Company's overall operating performance, future risks and development trends of the industry, as well as the actual operating conditions and relevant laws and regulations. The actual amount of compensation for directors and managers for the year 2022 will be reviewed by the Remuneration Committee and submitted to the Board of Directors for approval.

  • (3) Correlation with operating performance and future risks:

  • A. The Company's compensation policy is reviewed based on the Company's overall operating conditions, and the payment standards are approved based on the performance achievement rate and contribution level, in order to enhance the effectiveness of the Board of Directors and the management team as a whole. In addition, the Company makes reference to industry salary standards to ensure that the management's salary is competitive in the industry and to retain outstanding management personnel.

  • B. The performance objectives of the Company's managers are integrated with "risk management" to ensure that possible risks within the scope of duties and responsibilities are managed and prevented, and the results of the actual performance evaluation are connected to the relevant human resources, related salary, and compensation policies. The important decisions of the Company's management teams are made after balancing various risk factors. The performance of the relevant decisions is reflected in the profitability of the Company, so the compensation of the management is related to the performance of risk management.

  • C. The compensation paid to the directors, general manager and vice president by the Company and its subsidiaries includes long-term bonuses, restricted stock, and employee stock options, which are not paid in full in the year of earnings and whose actual value is related to the future stock price, which means that the Company shares the risk of future operations.

Responsibility and Employee Care. The members
of each group are the heads of relevant functional
departments, and the Group CEO is responsible for
the overall management of related affairs.
(2) Oversight and governance of climate-related risks
and opportunities
The Company's five functional groups under the
Sustainable Development Committee are responsible
formulating the Company's climate-related policies and
plans, which are submitted to CEO for review and
approval. Each working group meets on a regular basis
to report to CEO to track and review the achievement
of each goal and implementation plan. After
summarizing the results of each group's work, the CEO
submits a report to the Sustainable Development
Committee at least once a year, to ensure the
promotion, supervision, and management of
climate-related risk (and opportunity) plans.
2. Identify how climate risks and opportunities affect
business, strategy and finance (in short, medium and
long term)
In order to mitigate the impact of climate risk, the
Company formulated the greenhouse gas reduction plan
and divided it into short,medium and longterm,setting

up goals to be achieved at different stages. The goals of
each stage are described as follows:
(1) Short-term goals
A. Inventory of greenhouse gas emissions of every
Group's subsidiary (already conducted every year
starting from 2021).
B. Entrust independent verification organization to
verify the results of the inventory (already been
conducted annually since 2022).
C. Set the base year for greenhouse gas emissions
reduction at 2021.
D. Plan various emission reduction strategies to achieve
the greenhouse gas reduction targets, including
increasing the proportion of renewable energy use,
and gradually introducing ISO 14001 and ISO
50001 standards to strengthen the relevant
management systems.
(2) Medium-term goals
Aim to achieve a 50% reduction in emissions by 2030,
and an 85% reduction by 2035 compared to the
baseline year.
(3) Long-term goals
To achieve net-zero emission by 2045.
3. Financial impact of extreme climate events and
transformation actions With respect to the weather
conditions in the Group's principal place of operation,
the more likely weather-related risks are high
temperature, drought, heavy rainfall, flooding, etc.,
which may directly or indirectly cause malfunctions,
abnormalities or damages to machinery and equipment,
or traffic disruptions, and lead to the limit of the
Group's production capacity, or prevent staff from
working at the plants and delay the delivery of goods.
These situations may have a material adverse effect on
the Group's operations. Although the Group has insured
for fixed assets and inventories, such insurance may not
provide adequate protection under certain
circumstances. If the Group suffers losses as a result,
the operations may be adversely affected.
4. Climate risk identification, assessment and
management process under the overall risk
management system
The Company manages climate-related risks as
follows:
(1) Develop risk management regulations and
organization

108

A. On November 14, 2022, the Board of Directors approved the establishment of "Code of Practice on Risk Management" as the guideline for the Group's risk management. B. On May 26, 2023, the Board of Directors approved the establishment of "Risk Management Committee" as the highest level organization to manage the various risks of Group. C. The "Risk Management and Execution Unit" is comprised of department heads with relevant expertise or experience within the Group. It is responsible for identifying risk issues, evaluating and developing risk preference, summarizing identified risk items, formulating management plans and tracking program results in accordance with departmental objectives and plans, and reporting to the CEO. (2) Risk management process A. Risk identification: analyze the possible sources of risks in the Company's business, operation activities, and internal and external environments. B. Risk measurement and analysis: appropriate measurement methods are set for different risks. Quantifiable risks are analyzed by statistical methods, while risks that are more difficult to quantify are measured by qualitative methods, and risk levels (high, medium, and low) are determined. C. Risk response: formulate countermeasures against the risks faced, and must also describe the unit of implementation, resource requirements, implementation schedule, and assessment indicators. D. Risk monitor: after proposing countermeasures against risks, the results of subsequent management should be reported to CEO, who will then summarize the results and provide them to the Risk Management Committee for review. E. Risk disclosure and report: The Risk Management Committee measures and monitors the overall risk management quality of the reports submitted by the CEO first, and then summit the report to the Board of Directors. (3) Risk management scope A. Should include all the companies of the Group. B. At the Company's operation level, the entire life cycle of product manufacturing should be included, including raw material acquisition, design,

  • (1) Overview of the jewelry industry

In early days, jewelry was positioned as a rare, precious and unique cultural attribute, symbolizing not only status and wealth, but also carrying human emotions and thoughts. However, through the evolution of time, it has become fashionable for modern consumers to beautify their lives with jewelry, and wearing jewelry is seen as a personal style, fashionable and trendy, as well as practical and aesthetic. With the recent rotation of the era wheel and the growing popularity of mobile technology, the jewelry industry is enjoying a booming market, and jewelry brands are making more of their profits from design-based products rather than purely high-value gemstone products. In today's jewelry market, brands need not only design, uniqueness and quality image, but also pricing power to appeal to the general consumer market. The global jewelry market is currently dominated by small players and major players competing with each other, major players ensure their long-term position in jewelry market through key strategies such as strategic acquisitions and mergers, product innovation, joint ventures through partnerships and geographical expansion. Among them, the main strategy is to build jewelry brands through partnerships or mergers and acquisitions to enhance added value.

However, through the evolution of time, for modern consumers, wearing jewelry is seen as an expression of personal style, fashion and trend, as well as practicality and aesthetics. In recent years, the use of technology has made jewelry more and more exquisite, and it has become a collector's item, like a work of art.

B. Luxury industry overview

According to the latest report released by Bain & Company at the beginning of 2024, the global luxury goods market is expected to grow by 11%-13% to 1.5 trillion euro in 2023 compared to 2022, with fixed exchange rates. Bain & Company divided the global luxury market into nine categories, including personal luxury goods, luxury cars, luxury hospitality, fine wines & spirits, gourmet food & fine dining, high-end furniture & housewares, fine art, private jets and yachts, and luxury cruise, of which luxury cars, luxury hospitality, and personal luxury goods together account for more than 80% of the total market.

In terms of global market regions, Europe will replace the Americas as the region with the highest proportion of personal luxury goods sales in 2023, accounting for 28% of the total, followed by Americas and China. Although local consumer purchases in Europe have declined due to general economic uncertainty, Europe has regained its

150

position as the region with the highest sales of personal luxury goods due to a significant increase in tourist arrivals from the United States and the Middle East, with the growth of 250% and 170%, respectively. In the Americas, sales declined by 8% in 2023 compared to 2022 as part of sales shift to Europe through tourist spending. Elsewhere, China's growth is slowing from the beginning of 2023 due to the general economic environment, while Japan is the fastest growing region globally in 2023 due to the weakening of the Japanese yen, with a 17% increase in constant exchange rate; and the Middle East is also an important factor in the growth of the personal luxury goods market in 2023, with Dubai and Saudi Arabia at the heart of the region and still with strong market potential. However, with the recent impact of the war, there is likely to be greater uncertainty in the coming months.

The year 2023 is an unsettling one for the luxury industry. After a remarkable double-digit growth rate rebound in the two years following the epidemic, growth has now tapered off into the lower single digits. While this normalization is predictable, not every company will be able to successfully navigate this trend. In 2023, only about two-thirds of companies will grow, compared to about 95% in 2021-2022. In this changing environment, the future trend in the luxury industry will be toward higher prices and developments in channels of higher profit margins. To achieve these goals, brands are expected to increase marketing spending to raise brand awareness, modernize their operations by investing in various digital technologies, remodeling their stores, and strengthening the quality and quantity of their staff. Looking forward, growth in the luxury market will be driven by increased consumer confidence, growth in travel spending, recovery in the United States, and accelerated growth in China and the Middle East. According to Bain & Company, the personal luxury goods market is

151

expected to grow at an annual rate of 5%-7% through 2030, bringing the overall size of the luxury goods market to 540-580 billion euro by the end of 2030.

C. Jewelry market overview and development

Jewelry is one of the oldest personal adornments, whether it's a luxurious diamond necklace or a simple charm bracelet, it instantly adds style and confidence to the wearer. The market revenue of jewelry comes mainly from China, followed by the United States and India. According to Grand View Research, spending on jewelry for wedding ceremonies and celebrations continues to be an important factor in the growth of the jewelry market, especially in India. The growing acceptance of jewelry by men due to changing perceptions is also a driving force in the jewelry market. In terms of materials, gold jewelry continues to hold the largest share of the market, while diamonds are becoming increasingly popular among consumers. Both natural diamonds, and synthetic laboratory diamonds which are emerging as a result of global concerns about sustainability, have seen growth in market value. In addition, according to Polaris Market Research, the jewelry industry is expected to continue to grow steadily through 2030.

2018-2030 Global Jewelry Market Value

==> picture [383 x 179] intentionally omitted <==

Source:Polaris Market Research

In terms of product categories, jewelry products can be mainly divided into five categories: necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets (chains) and others. According to the report of Grand View Research, in 2023, rings are the largest sales, with a market share of about 33.8%. According to analysis of Grand View Research, the growth in global ring sales is driven by increasing demand for wedding bands and a growing preference for dressing collocation. Although the youth generation of consumers has a less

152

traditional view of marriage, they still tend to create a strong bond between love and ring. That's why rings are their first choice, whether it's an engagement ring or a proposal ring. In addition, ring sales among the male consumer segment have been on the rise in recent years due to improvements in men's jewelry designs and increased global awareness of men's fashion, which has also become a key trend in the market. In the bracelet market, the growing popularity of cross-cultural designs is one of the key factors contributing to the increase in demand for bracelet products globally, and it is expected that products inspired by Egyptian, European and Italian cultures have the opportunity to gain attention in the foreseeable future. Earrings, on the other hand, are generally considered to be the more eye-catching items of the jewelry, as they are one of the most commonly worn jewels due to their ease of use, and are often paired with other accessories such as necklaces or bracelets. Therefore, the growth in demand for other jewelry, such as necklaces and bracelets, is likely to translate into increased sales of earrings at the same time.

  • b. the links between the upstream, midstream, and downstream segments of the industry supply chain

Fine jewelry industry is one of the industries with long history. The chain of industry is pretty mature and the supply chain can be divided into upstream: raw material and equipment suppliers that supply the precious metals and gems for jewelry production, and production of manufacturing equipment for stone setting; midstream: design and manufacturers, mainly focus on jewelry designs, components, and mold manufacturing, automated process equipment, and the follow-up production and sales; downstream: distributors, mainly through the global and regional brands to enter the retails in order to sale to consumers. The Company is a jewelry design, manufacture, and sales company that belongs to midstream. The Company introduced various materials from upstream raw material suppliers, such as gold, silver, and platinum and then after the process of designing, molding, casting, stamping, grinding, stone setting, soldering, polishing, plating, and packing, finish products will be delivered to the downstream distributors to sale products to customers in need. The relations between the up, middle and down streams of the Company's industry is shown as following:

  • c. Development trends of products

(1) Customized craft arts

For aspects of design and manufacture of products, the Company values various skills of jewelry manufacture. The nature of products is mainly based on metal casting and hand-set stone, including pendants, rings, wristbands, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, cufflinks, and pins. In the future, besides continuously accumulating experience and knowledge of jewelry manufacture, the Company will also make products more personalized and customized by combining aesthetic designs and craft art skills as a basis for constantly innovation.

(2) Focus on design features

With the change of consumption habits, the young people nowadays prefer personalized and refined products which are sophisticated, small, delicate, not over-designed, and complied with invigorating colors. The whole piece of jewelry that are more vivid and eye-catching simplified styles are more attracted to working women; while fashionable jewelry that emphasizes design senses and personal tastes cater to the mid and high-end consumer purchase intention. Therefore, the Company has been studying how to combine the design characteristics of jewelry with consumers' preferences, so that jewelry can give consumers a lively, interesting, fashionable and noble atmosphere while exuding their unique personal taste.

(3) Leading fashion trends

The prediction of fashion trends and the accuracy and immediacy of information acquisition are highly important in jewelry boutique industry. How to grasp the current

154

trends and provide clients with the latest product choices; and further enhance the compactness between the supply and demand sides to maintain good relationship and interaction is an important issue for jewelry design manufacturers. Therefore, the Company collects and predicts international trend information through databases, various print media and online media, in order to grasp the future fashion information, design corresponding jewelry styles, and combine with different colors and styles to produce products that can lead the next generation of trends. Every year, the Company plans several new design collections and launch new products every season for our clients to sample. We uphold the principle of customization, stay ahead of the trend and feedback the latest information to our clients.

(4) Competition

The Company is in the fashion industry, the product changes quickly and the style is various. Although there are many manufacturers of jewelry, most of them are small processing factories, and most of them are based on imitating the products that cannot lead the trends. In light of that, the Company avoids highly competitive consumer markets, focusing in niche markets with small quantities and customization. In addition to producing refined jewelry for clients, the Company also provides customized service. The Company introduces design drawings for clients to choose and then produced by master craftsmen with exquisite craftsmanship. For example, the Company is favored by internationally renowned jewelry boutiques, and the rose-gold series and K-gold products are the best examples. It is not easy for a manufacturer to enter this market segment without having both forward-looking design capability, excellent craftsmanship and production flexibility. Therefore, for the Company, there is still room and the possibility for future growth.

  1. Overview of the technologies and its research and development work

  2. a. Technique level and research development of business

  3. Tradition jewelry industry is an industry which is highly dependent on artificial technology, has complex procedures, long production time, and varying product quality and other characteristics. The process begins with designing, designers draw out the style images of ideas, manufacture the jewelry molds by handmade, and then are the processes of pressing, casting, stamping, grinding, stone setting, soldering, polishing, plating, and packing.

In order to satisfy clients’ requests, the Company combines traditional craftmanship and technology. From the initial design process, 3D models were created using advanced 3D graphics software to communicate with customers to reduce manual work time, and the

155

Company also uses 3D printing technique to make jewelry wax molds before casting and other processes.

In terms of production process, the Company has also improved several production techniques to lead the industry, and at the same time, together with professional technicians, the Company is able to present beautiful and excellent quality jewelry products. Thanks to the above-mentioned techniques, the Company is therefore able to obtain cooperation opportunities with various international famous brands.

Currently, there are more than 200 personnel in the R&D department, of which about 100 designers and pattern makers related to product design and development. The Company has strong creative design energy, which is an important competitive niche for the Company to expand the market. In the future, the Company will continue to train designers to develop more distinctive products and continue to invest resources to research and improve production process technology and equipment as future continuous growth momentum.

  • b. Market supply and demand and growth potential in future

In the process of branding, the jewelry industry has also been challenged by modern technology and changing consumer patterns (Van Gelder, 2005).

  • (1) Technology convenience - Impact of modern virtual channels on jewelry market

  • With the growing popularity of modern mobile technology and the Internet, the development of online virtual channels has made the jewelry market less limited to the offline physical channels of the past. In before, the offline physical market dominated because most consumers could only rely on them to purchase jewelry. With the advancement of time and technology, online virtual channels are growing rapidly. In addition to basic online payment functions, some jewelry brands have even introduced "virtual try-on" services that combine AR and VR technologies, allowing consumers to simulate how they would look wearing jewelry right in front of their computers. Nowadays, the boundaries between offline physical stores and online virtual channels have become increasingly blurred, with companies investing resources in creating "omni-channel marketing" that combines online and offline channels. By integrating all resources, consumers can have a consistent, harmonious and personalized consumer experience across all channels, which not only differentiate companies from their competitors and give them an important competitive advantage, but also enhances the competitiveness and brand equity of their brands.

  • (2) Changing consumer patterns - Erosion of counterfeit products in jewelry market Counterfeit products are an important concern in the jewelry industry (Olsen, JE, Granzin, KL, 1992; Carty, 1994). When the supply side lowers the production cost, it

160

naturally increases the price advantage of the product and makes it easier for consumers to obtain the desired goods to satisfy their interests. However, when counterfeit products or imitation brands appear at low prices but with sub-standard quality, it is difficult for consumers to differentiate in an asymmetric market. The fear of being cheated often leads to mistrust of jewelry products and reduces the amount of money consumers spend on jewelry and redirects it to other uses. As a result, the erosion of counterfeit products in the jewelry market cannot be undervalued.

  • (3) Disadvantage of image of origin countries - Sorrow of emerging countries In the jewelry supply chain, products are often manufactured through OEM methods in emerging countries and then sold through brand owners, who in the long run make much larger profits than the OEM manufacturers. In order to generate more profits, OEM manufacturers need to build brands to create added value. However, in the past, products from emerging market countries were often perceived to be of poor quality or had the image of being counterfeit products. For OEM manufacturers seeking to build jewelry brands, the image of the country of origin not only puts them at a disadvantage when developing their brands, but may also hinder the growth of jewelry sales due to the preconceived notion that consumers have. Currently, most of the jewelry brands available in the market are from advanced countries with sophisticated craftsmanship and fashionable design. Consumers are assured of the quality, appearance and design of the products they purchase through the image of the brand country they perceive in their minds. Therefore, when constructing jewelry brands, OEM companies in emerging countries will face not only the impact of the image of the country of origin, the pressure of brand clients, but also the huge challenge from consumers’ skepticism.

c. Competitive niche

  • (1) Quality and reputation: All products sold by the Company undergo strict verifications and rigorous safety and heavy metal content tests. In addition, our products are tested annually by third-party organizations appointed by our clients to obtain certifications for factory environment, production process and labor safety. With years of hard work in the market, the quality of our products and the reputation of us have been well recognized and certified by well-known customers and parties in Europe and in Americas.

  • (2) Professional design and R&D team: Our main clients are mostly international brands, and each brand has different product characteristics, such as trendiness, practicality, personalization or diversity. Therefore, in order to meet the fashion trend and stay on the cutting edge of fashion, we not only focuses on development of marketing business,

161

but also spares no effort in cultivating a professional design and research team, so that we have the ability to develop products independently. We have professional designers to design products, not only to achieve professional specialization of work, but also to follow the market trend more closely. In addition, we have been collecting market and customer information for a long time, and we actively participate in major jewelry exhibitions around the world every year to collect business information and grasp the trend of fashion. Therefore, our products are always in line with market trends and customer needs and preferences, and we have high capability of customization.

  • (3) Exquisite craftsmanship: The Company not only grasps the market trend and designs all kinds of exquisite product types according to customer's preference, but also creates various kinds of products with artistic aesthetics and high quality through the skillful craftsmanship of many master craftsmen. And the quality is excellent, so they are deeply loved by customers around the world.

  • (4) Flexible manufacture abilities: Compared to our competitors who produce in a single material, we have the ability to produce in a flexible way, so we can produce different kinds of jewelry according to different product attributes, whether it is silver, copper or Karat gold. In addition, we can also create different styles according to customer needs and market trends, which is a plus to our competitiveness.

  • (5) Customized and fully integrated services: In addition to being able to provide customers with market trends at any time, we are also able to understand customers' needs at each stage and quickly complete customized design drawings for customers to select samples and make plates, and then quickly produce. The one-stop complete service is our advantage, so we can maintain long-term and excellent interaction with our customers, and the quality of our products is also trusted by them.

  • d. Positive and negative factors for future development, and response to such factors

  • (1) Positive factors

  • i. One-stop complete service

The Company has a complete jewelry production capability, starting from design, to the process of molding, casting, stamping, grinding, gem-setting, soldering, polishing, plating and packaging, etc. We have all the relevant technologies, so we have greater flexibility to quickly complete the modification of customized design drawings and samplings and enter the production process, while taking into account the quality and customer time requirements, so we have become the supplier of internationally renowned brands.

162

  • ii. R&D staffs are familiar with industry skills and have strong R&D capabilities

As the jewelry industry is closely related to fashion, it is sensitive to the fashion, design and personalization of products. Therefore, we actively train our design staff for the product design, and at the same time, we collect a lot of business information and participate in major jewelry exhibitions around the world to keep abreast of market trends and customer information. In addition to enhancing our customization capabilities, we also offer a wide range of designs to meet the market trends and customer needs and preferences.

  • iii. Maintain excellent relationships with internationally renowned brands through flexible service

Our major clients are internationally renowned jewelry brands or regional brands, and with our flexible services model, we are able to complete customized demands for our clients; therefore, we have established stable relationships with them to expand our business operations.

  • (2) Negative factors and Responses

  • i. Price fluctuation of raw materials

Since the main production materials of the jewelry industry are precious metals, their prices are easily affected by fluctuations in the international market, which can easily affect production costs and quotations, thus posing operational risks.

Response:

When we take orders from customers, we will refer to the most recent market price of raw materials before quoting to customers in order to reduce the risk of profit erosion due to changes in raw material costs. In addition, we also track the market price of raw materials and adjust the safety stock in accordance with the market trend in order to cope with the risk of the price fluctuation of raw material affecting the supply.

ii. Increase of labor costs

The jewelry industry is both labor-intensive and skill-intensive, and it is not easy to train skilled craftsmen. The basic wage in Thailand has been adjusted since 2019, and it has continued to adjust in recent years. As the Thailand economy continues to grow, the human resources are scattered across various industries, making it difficult to find new talent with a passion for the jewelry industry and putting pressure on the Company's operations.

163

Responses:

Since the jewelry industry still emphasizes the quality of craftsmanship, we have divided the production process into eight parts and introduced automatic production for some processes and improved production procedures. We also use appropriate technique specialization to achieve the training of new personnel in a short period of time, to improve quality and speed, and to reduce the processing and manufacturing time, so as to reduce the risk of wages increases. For the rise of labor cost, we will reflect in the quotation of our clients in a timely manner, so that we can provide high quality and high workmanship products without compromising the Company's revenue.

iii. Sales are concentrated

The Company's biggest client is a leading brand in the jewelry market, whose products are well received by consumers and whose revenue has been increasing year after year. As an important supplier to this customer, the Company's orders continue to increase as the customer grows, resulting in a concentration of sales.

Response:

In addition to our biggest client, we also have long-term relationships with other major clients in Europe and US. With sufficient design capacity and comprehensive services, we are able to meet the various needs of our clients and have formed a regular supply chain due to the quality of our products. However, in order to reduce the risk of concentration of sales, we will continue to make efforts to develop new customers based on our pre-defined brand positioning type and expand our product range to accessories and other processing services. In addition, we will also continue to enhance our ODM business and actively focus on evaluating the possibility of cross-industry cooperation. We will strengthen our relationship with our various customers through different strategic business models and continue to increase the number of customers in order to achieve the goal of diversifying the dependence of customers.

Description of the amount changes of major customers:

Customer A is a well-known French jewelry brand owner which has design and marketing teams to design many kinds of products and has physical stores in the European Union and e-commerce sales channels to explore their revenue. The decrease in the net sales compared to 2022 was mainly due to the impact of inflation, which resulted in a decrease in disposable income for end consumers in the European region.

Customer D is a well-known international fashion brand. We have cooperated with it since 2014 and are now one of the main suppliers of this customer. The decrease in net sales in 2023 is mainly due to the increase in global economic uncertainty caused by the Russia-Ukraine war and inflation. Under the consideration of this situation, the order placement has become more conservative, but we continue to develop customer orders in different regions, so as to diversify the sales concentration risk of major customer.

Analysis of deviation in changes in financial ratios for the last two years over 20%:
1. Decrease in quick ratio: Mainly due to pre-tax net losses and repayment of corporate debt, resulting in a
decrease in cash levels.

company's major customers, which resulted in a decrease in profits, as well as borrowing from banks to
maintain the company's daily operations. 3. Decrease in average sales days: Mainly due to price inflation and
changes in the order structure of the company's major customers, resulting in the decline in the purchasing
power of end consumers.
4. The turnover rate of real estate, plants and equipment decreased: mainly due to the increase in the company’s
capital expenditures, but the orders failed to increase at the same time.
5. Decreases in total asset turnover rate, return on assets, return on equity, ratio of pre-tax net income to paid-in
capital, net profit rate, and earnings per share: mainly due to price inflation and changes in the order structure of
the company's major customers As profits decrease, ratios and earnings per share also decrease accordingly.
6. Decreases in cash flow ratio, cash flow adequacy ratio and cash reinvestment ratio: mainly due to the decrease
in net cash flow from operating activities and the increase in capital expenditures.
7. Decrease in operating leverage: Mainly due to price inflation and changes in the order structure of the
company's major customers,resultingin a decrease inprofits.

  1. Improvement plan for insufficient liquidity:

  2. The Company does not currently face any cash shortages, and there is no imminent risk of insufficient liquidity.

  3. Analysis of cash liquidity in the coming year:

The Company is currently operating in a stable phase, with well-controlled inventory and accounts receivable. It is expected to continue to adhere to conservative principles in estimating capital expenditures within the next year. Additionally, the Company maintains a good relationship with banks, with sufficient bank financing facilities, and therefore no concerns about financial liquidity or funding shortages.

D. Influence on Financial Operations from Significant Capital Expenditure in the Most Recent Year: The amount of property, plant and equipment expenditures in 2023 is NTD 68,086 thousand, which is mainly due to the machinery and equipment purchased by the important subsidiary Regal Jewelry Manufacture Co., Ltd. for operation; and the renovation construction, machinery and equipment expenditures for the subsidiary Regal Precious Metal Innovation Co., Ltd’s new production line. The source of expenditures is mainly self-owned funds. According to the Company's profit situation, there is no significant adverse impact on its finance or operation.

E. The Company's reinvestment policy for the most recent fiscal year, the main reasons for the profits/losses generated thereby, the plan for improving re-investment profitability, and investment plans for the coming year:

  • 1.The Company's reinvestment policy

When the Company reinvest, we focus on the core industry of jewelry design, manufacturing and processing, comprehensively consider future trends, business opportunities, and group advantages, and expand upstream and downstream of the jewelry industry supply chain. We do not engage in other industries which are not related to jewelry. In order to clarify the relevant regulations, we have established the "Investment Cycle", "Rules Governing the Financial Operations between Related Parties and Affiliates", "Rules Governing the Operation of Subsidiaries" and "Rules Governing the Acquisition or Disposal of Assets" in our internal control system as the guidelines for the transfer of investments, and will follow the aforementioned rules when there are relevant investment plans.

  • 2.Major causes of profits and losses, and improvement in the latest fiscal year

  • The main reason for the loss of RMS, Linden, Reunite Inspiring Creation is that their brand awareness and development of own e-commerce is slower than originally expected, resulting in revenue that cannot cover the initial fixed expenses. In order to effectively utilize the Group's resources and maximize shareholders' profits, the Board of Directors of the Company has resolved to dissolve and liquidate RMS, Linden and Reunite Inspiring Creation. RJM and

186

RGP have suffered losses as a result of the decline in end-user demand due to the overall sluggishness of the international economy and the industry over the past year, and the orders from customers reduced. In terms of improvement plans, the Company will continue to increase the manpower of business team to serve more customers, strengthen efforts in getting mid-to-highend jewelry orders, and continue to optimize the allocation of factory capacity and organization manpower in order to effectively reduce costs and expenditures.

3. Future investment plan for upcoming year:

As of the printing of this Annual Report, in addition to the monthly R&D expenditures on new equipment and technology to ensure that the Company can continue to be familiar with industry dynamics and provide customers with the fastest and highest quality jewelry design and manufacturing services, as well as the investment in machinery and equipment for RPM, a sub-subsidiary of the Group, the Company has no identified significant investment plans for the coming year. However, in order to strengthen the Group's investment in ESG issues, enhance the Group's competitiveness, and respond to the increasing emphasis on sustainability issues in the overall jewelry industry, the Company has planned to conduct the feasibility study for the 2[nd] phase of the solar panel construction project this year.

  • F. Risk analysis during the most recent year and as of the Date of this Annual Report

  • Influence of interest rate changes, exchange rate fluctuations and inflation on company gains and losses and future countermeasures:

  • a. Interest rate changes

erest rate changes Unit: NT$000 Unit: NT$000
Year 2022 Year 2023
Amount Ratio of
operating
revenues
Amount Ratio of
operating
revenues
Interest income 1,393 0.08% 5,660 0.49%
Interest expense 5,690 0.34% 7,754 0.68%

The Company's interest income and expenses accounted for a small proportion of the operating revenues in the last two years, and this is primarily due to interest income from

188

bank deposits and financial costs related to borrowings, which have had slight impact on the overall operation of the Company. Therefore, the impact of interest rate fluctuations on the Company's profit and loss is limited. In the future, we will continue to monitor changes in the domestic and international economic environment and take necessary measures in a timely manner to mitigate the risk of interest rate fluctuations on the Company's profit and loss.

b. Exchange rate fluctuations

Year
Item
Year 2022 Year 2023
Foreign exchange gains(losses) 20,134 5,243
Ratio of net profit before income tax 1.22% 0.46%

The Company's export products are mainly quoted in US dollars, but procurement and operating expenses are paid in Thai Baht. Therefore, the risk of exchange rate fluctuations mainly comes from foreign currency-denominated accounts receivable and foreign currency exchange gains and losses. Since 2014, the Company has increased sales in Thailand and gradually increased the proportion of accounts receivable in Thai Baht to diversify the concentration of currencies. We also continue to monitor exchange rate fluctuations, and if there is a need for hedging, we will also use financial derivative products for hedging operations as a response to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on profit.

c. Inflation

In response to the fact that global inflation has not yet stabilized, the Company maintains close and good relations with suppliers and customers. While making the purchase or sales contract, a floating and dynamically adjusted quotation mechanism will be used, so there has been no significant impact on profit due to the inflation so far. The Company will continue to monitor the impact of inflation on costs, evaluate and adjust the procurement strategy and cost structure at an appropriate time, so as to reduce the impact of inflation on the Company's profit.

  1. Company policies for high-risk, high-leverage investment, loaning of funds to others, endorsement for others and engagement in derivative transactions, main causes of profit gains or losses, and future countermeasures:

189

Based on principle of prudent and pragmatic business philosophy, the Company focuses on managing its own line of business and does not engage in any other high-risk or high-leverage commercial activities. In addition, the Company has established "Procedures for Lending Funds to Others", "Procedures for Endorsements and Guarantees", "Regulations of Governing Derivatives Transactions" and "Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets" as the basis for the Company and its subsidiaries to conduct relevant operations. As of the print date of this Annual Report, there are no existing and effective balance of loan of funds to others, endorsement and guarantee for others, and financial derivative product transaction contracts, so there is no impact on the profit of the consolidated financial statements. If there are plans to engage in related transactions in the future, the Company will follow these procedures and regulations to execute.

  1. Further R&D plans and expenditures expected for research and development work a. Future R&D plans

  2. (1) Continuously improve our product development capabilities and combine aesthetic technology to provide unique and more personalized products to meet different market needs.

    • (2) Research on more advanced manufacturing processes and more precise mold design capabilities to enhance future product yields and product diversity.

    • (3) Continue to invest in semi-automatic or fully-automatic process equipment and related manufacturing equipment required for high-end products to shorten production hours, significantly improve product quality and reduce production costs.

    • (4) Estimated investment in research and development costs

      • The R&D expenses in 2022 are NTD 58,529 thousand, and it is expected to increase in 2023 than previous year. The mainly reason is to enhance the customized design capability of jewelry, develop functional accessories and automated equipment, and upgrade the processing equipment in order to enhance medium and long-term competitiveness.
  3. Effects on the company's financial operations of important policies adopted and changes in the legal environment at home and abroad, and measures to be taken in response: The Company is registered in Cayman Islands and the main operation headquarter is in Thailand. The Cayman Islands has financial services as its main economic activity, while Thailand is one of the major economies in Southeast Asia with an open economy and no

190

foreign exchange controls, and the political and economic environment is still stable. The products developed and sold by the Company are consumer goods and are not licensed or restricted industries. Therefore, except for the compliance costs due to changes in business laws and regulations in the Cayman Islands, and the personnel costs due to adjustments in wage rates due to improvements in labor conditions in Thailand, there are no significant changes in important policies and laws in the Cayman Islands or Thailand that would affect the Company's finance or business operations. Also, both of the impact of the aforementioned compliance and personnel cost adjustments on the Company was minimal. In addition, the Company conducts its business in accordance with relevant domestic and foreign policies and laws, and keeps an eye on important domestic and foreign policy trends and legal changes to respond to changes in market conditions and take appropriate countermeasures.

  1. The impact of technological changes (including information security risks) and industry changes on the company's financial business and countermeasures:

  2. The Group's main business is the design and manufacture of jewelry. Due to the advancement of technology, various new automated machines are constantly available. The head of the R&D department and manufacturing department of the Company will obtain in-depth information about the new equipment or machines to evaluate the extent to which the investment in the new equipment will improve the production efficiency and quality of the Company's products, and the amount of capital expenditure required, in order to decide whether to purchase the new equipment.

In terms of industry changes, today's jewelry consumers are increasingly emphasizing the personalization of their jewelry in order to express their unique tastes and values. As a result, the jewelry industry has gradually shifted from producing a large number of standardized products to a small number of customized items that consumers can choose to accessorize themselves. In response, the Company has adjusted its production line configuration by dividing the original large factory into several medium-sized factories to increase production flexibility. At the same time, the management mechanism has been established to dynamically adjust the allocation of monthly orders, production line manpower and outsourcing to achieve the goal of optimizing the use of human resources and cost control.

In terms of information security risk management, the Company's plans and actions are as follows:

  • a. Management structure

  • In order to protect Company’s information assets from risks caused by external threats or improper management and use by internal personnel, the Company has established the "Regal Holding Information and Communication Security Team" to coordinate

191

management plans, maintenance plans and resource deployment. The team consists of (1) convener, (2) head of information security, and (3) information security personnel. The convener is the CEO and the head of information security of the Company is responsible for coordinating and promoting information security related management matters. The information security personnel members are the supervisors of each unit in the IT department and assist the head of information security in implementing various information security related plans. The audit office is responsible for the record of information security related meetings, the record of information security incidents and the execution of internal information security related audit plans.

b. Information and community security policy

The Company's information and communication security policy covers the Company and its subsidiaries. In order to ensure that all hardware, software, data and communications of the Company operate properly and are protected from human deliberation or accidental threats, the Company focuses on system, technology and procedures simultaneously to reduce information security threats and establish a secured information environment. The Company continuously reviews the management cycle of Plan-Do-Check-Act (PDCA) for continuous improvement. In the "Plan Phase", the Company focuses on information security risk management, firstly, the Company's information and communication security team identifies relevant risk factors and then formulates specific management plans. In the "Do Phase", the Company constructs various information protection measures. In addition to implementing the management plans in the Company's daily operations, we also continue to introduce new information security technologies and conduct internal information security promotion to maintain the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the company's information assets. The "Check Phase" will actively monitor the effectiveness of information security management, measure and quantify information security indicators based on audit results, and rehearse the response mechanism in case of information security incidents through regular simulations. The "Act Phase" is based on review and continuous improve, the Company fulfill the implementation of supervision and auditing, and regularly review information security regulations and management plans. If employees violate the relevant regulations and procedures, they will be dealt with according to the relevant procedures and penalties will be imposed depending on the violation.

Therefore, the overall corporate image is excellent and there is no corporate crisis caused by the change of corporate image in the latest year or as of the date of printing of the Annual Report.

  • 7.Expected benefits and possible risks associated with any merger and acquisitions, and mitigation measures being or to be taken:

The Company's primary strategy is to focus on the jewelry industry and all of its corporate plans are related to the design, manufacture and sale of jewelry, or are related to the upstream and downstream supply chain of the industry. As of the date of this Annual Report, the Company has no merger and acquisition plans in progress or anticipated, except for the establishment of subsidiary in connection with the investment in sustainability issues such as precious metal recycling and ESG, in which the Company is optimistic about future business opportunities.

  • 8.Expected benefits and possible risks associated with any plant expansion, and mitigation measures being or to be taken:

The Company has an internal adjustment mechanism to dynamically adjust the allocation between client orders and production line manpower on a monthly basis, supplemented by an outsourcing strategy. As of the print date of the Annual Report, the Company has no plans to expand its plants, except for investing in automated equipment to shorten working hours and improve product quality. If there is a need for plant expansion in the future, the Company will follow the local business regulations and the relevant internal management rules established by the Company to ensure the protection of the rights and interests of the Company's shareholders and stakeholders.

  1. Risks associated with any consolidation of sales or purchasing operations, and mitigation measures being or to be taken:

  2. a. Risk from concentration of suppliers and countermeasures

Due to the increased empahasis of ESG issues, the Company increases the procurement of

193

sustainable certified materials with certification from third-party organizations. As a result, the proportion of purchases from the largest supplier in 2022 decreased from 21.67% to 5.57%, and the proportion of purchases from the newly added largest supplier in 2023 is 21.91%, which is the Company's main supplier of recycled silver.

The main purchase items of the Company all have more than two suppliers. While one supplier is not able to provide sufficient goods or meet the delivery period, the Company will look for other alternative suppliers or other suitable alternative materials. Therefore, the source of raw materials is stable, and as of the print date of this Annual Report, there has been no shortage of supply that has a significantly impact on operations or the benefit of customers.

  • b. Risk from concentration of sales and countermeasures

The Company has actively expanded into new customers, new markets, and new business models. In 2023, the sales net amount from the largest customer accounted for 27.15% of total sales, compared to 49.04% in 2022, indicating effective efforts in reducing the risk of sales concentration.

Therefore, changes in commercial laws and regulations in the place of incorporation and operation, as well as changes in exchange rates and fluctuations in raw material prices due to changes in international political and economic conditions, may affect the Company's operations. In order to cope with risks arising from changes in laws and regulations and fluctuations in international market prices, the Company has formed a risk management team from relevant departments to keep track of important domestic and international policy and legal changes, as well as current fluctuations in exchange rates and raw material prices in the international market, in order to assess and establish action plans to respond to changes in the situation as soon as possible.

However, there are still many differences between the laws and regulations of the two jurisdictions regarding the operation of companies, and investors cannot directly apply the legal protection viewpoint of investing in a ROC company to their investments in Cayman Islands companies.

(1) modification or alteration the Company’s
Articles of Association
According to Cayman Islands laws,
modification
or
alteration
the
Company’s Articles of Association

be
adopted
by
special
resolutions. Therefore, in Article 12.1
of
the

Articles
of
Association,
the
thresholds
of
resolutions have been modified rather
than
changing
to
supermajority
resolutions complied with “Checklist

modified rather than changing to

Foreign
Issuers.”

Articles of Association, any Merger
(except for any Merger which falls
within the definition of "merger"
and/or "consolidation" under the Law,
which requires the approval of the
Company by Special Resolution only)

resolutions.
3. The difference between the above matters
and the Checklist for the Protection of
Shareholders' Equity of Foreign Issuers is the
matters shall be adopted by supermajority
resolutions in important matters of protection
of shareholders’ equity are regulated to
supermajority
resolutions
and
special

and special resolutions respectively in the

opinions. In case the board of directors or
anydirector commits anyact,in carryingout




























There is no notion of “supervisors” in Cayman
Islands’
Company
Act;
therefore,
while
applying for the listed company, the Audit
Committee is set instead of supervisors. As a
result, there is no relevant regulations of
supervisors in the Articles of Association.

There is no notion of “supervisors” in Cayman
Islands’ Company Act and the Company has set
up the Audit Committee, so there are no
relevant regulations of supervisors in the
Articles of Association. Only about the
regulation of minor shareholders’ request to
institute an action against a director of the
Company in Article 214 of Company Act,
R.O.C. In Article 48.3 of the Articles of
Association, to the extent permitted under the
laws
of the Cayman
Islands, Members
continuously holding one per cent (1%) or more
of the total issued shares of the Company for

(a) request in writing the Board to authorize any
Independent Director of the Audit Committee to
file a petition with the Taipei District Court,
ROC for and on behalf of the Company against
any of the Directors; or
(b) request in writing any Independent Director
of the Audit Committee to file a petition for and
on behalf of the Company against any of the
Directors; the petition may be filed with the
Taipei District Court, ROC as the court of the
first instance;or the Member(s)may,to the

extent permitted under the laws of the Cayman
Islands, file a petition with the Taipei District
Court, ROC for and on behalf of the Company
against the relevant Directors within thirty (30)
days after such Member(s) having made the
request under the preceding clause (a) or (b) if
(i) in the case of clause (a), the Board fails to
make such authorization or the Independent
Director of the Audit Committee having been
authorized by the Board fails to file such
petition, or (ii) in the case of clause (b), the
Independent Director of the Audit Committee
fails to file such petition.
However, according to Cayman Islands’
regulations, about the above regulations,
Cayman
Islands’
lawyers
remind
the
followings:
The Company Act of Cayman Islands does not
have specific regulation to allow minority
shareholders institute an action against a
director of the Company. The Articles of
Association
is
not
a
contract
between
shareholders and directors, but an agreement
between shareholders and the Company.
Therefore, even though the Articles allows
minority shareholders to institute an action
against directors, the Cayman Islands’ lawyers
think this will not be able to bond directors.
However,
under
the
regular
laws,
all
shareholders (including minority shareholders),
no matter what his/her share hold percentage is
or how long he/she holds shares, have the right
to request to institute an action (including
against a director). Once shareholders institute
an action, the Cayman Islands’ court have the
full power to decide whether the shareholders
can continue the lawsuit. Repeatedly, even
though the Articles of Association allow

213

Material matters of protection of shareholder
equity

Articles of Association and reasons of
differences
minority shareholders (or shareholders with the
required shareholding ratio or shareholding
period), institute an action against a director on
behalf
of
the
Company;
however,
the
continuation of the lawsuit will ultimately
depend on the decision of the Cayman Islands
court. According to the relevant judgment of
the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, when
the Cayman Islands courts consider whether to
approve
the
continuation
of
derivative
proceedings, the applicable criterion is whether
the Cayman Islands courts believe and accept
that the plaintiff’s request on behalf of the
company
is
ostensibly
substantive.
The
wrongdoings claimed by the company are
controlled by the controllable company, and the
controllers can prevent the company from
litigating it. According to the Cayman Islands’
Laws, the Board of Directors shall act on
behalf of the Company as a whole (not
individual
directors)
to
make
decisions.
Therefore, directors shall follow the resolution
of the Board of Directors to authorize any
director on behalf of the Company according to
the Articles of Association to file the charge to
other directors.
The Company Act of Cayman Islands does not
regulate that shareholders may request directors
of the company to convene board of directors’
meetings to resolute specific matters. However,
the Company Act of Cayman Islands does not
prohibit
the
company
from
establishing
Articles of Association and relevant rules of
procedures of board meetings (including the
regulations of conveningboard meetings.)
1. Directors of the Company shall have the
loyalty and shall exercise the due care of a
good administrator in conductingthe
In the Article 48.4 of the Articles of
Association, “Without prejudice and subject to
thegeneral directors’ duties that a Director

214

Material matters of protection of shareholder

Articles of Association and reasons of

equity

differences

owe to the Company and its shareholders under common law principals and the laws of the Cayman Islands, a Director shall perform his fiduciary duties of loyalty and due care of a good administrator in the course of conducting the Company’s business, and shall indemnify the Company, to the maximum extent legally permissible, from any loss incurred or suffered by the Company arising from breach of his fiduciary duties. If a Director has made any profit for the benefit of himself or any third party as a result of any breach of his fiduciary duties, the Company shall, if so resolved by the Members by way of an Ordinary Resolution, take all such actions and steps as may be appropriate and to the maximum extent legally permissible to seek to recover such profit from such relevant Director. If a Director has, in the course of conducting the Company’s business, violated any laws or regulations that causes the Company to become liable for any compensation or damages to any person, such Director shall become jointly and severally liable for such compensation or damages with the Company and if any reason such Director is not made jointly and severally liable with the Company, such Director shall indemnify the Company for any loss incurred or suffered by the Company caused by a breach of duties by such Director. The Officers, in the course of performing their duties to the Company, shall assume such duties and obligations to indemnify the Company in the same manner as if they are Directors.” However, according to Cayman Islands’ regulations, about the above regulations, Cayman Islands’ lawyers remind the followings: In Cayman Island’s law, generally speaking,

business operation of the company; and if he/she has acted contrary to this provision, shall be liable for the damages to be sustained by the company there-from. In case the responsible person of a company does anything for himself/herself or on behalf of another person in violation of the behaviors, the meeting of shareholders may, by a resolution, consider the earnings in such an act as earnings of the company

  1. If directors of the Company have, in the course of conducting the business operations, violated any provision of the applicable laws and/or regulations and thus caused damage to any other person, he/she shall be liable, jointly and severally, for the damage to such other person.

  2. The managers and supervisors, acting within the scope of their duties, shall also be liable for the damages, same as the directors of the Company.

215

Material matters of protection of shareholder
equity

Articles of Association and reasons of
differences
managers or supervisors do not take the same
responsibilities as the company’s directors to
the company or shareholders. However, if
managers or supervisors are authorized to
represent top-level executives, they shall share
the same responsibilities as the company’s
directors.
For
the
avoidance
of
doubt,
companies
in
Cayman
Islands generally
regulate
the
managers’
or
supervisors’
responsibilities and obligations to companies
and shareholders in their service contracts.
For the same reason, because the company’s
Articles of Association is the agreement
between shareholders and the company,
managers or supervisors are not litigants of the
company’s Articles of Association. Therefore,
any penalty of damages that claims to
managers or supervisors who violate their
obligations shall be regulated in their service
contracts.
From the prospect of Cayman Island’s law, the
company’s Articles of Association is the
agreement between shareholders and the
applying company and directors of the
applying company are not litigants of the
company’s Articles of Association, so lawyers
of Cayman Islands think the Articles of
Association do not have bonding force to
directors. If the company wants to make the
relevant clauses have a contractual effect on the
directors, lawyers of Cayman Islands think the
company shall regulate relevant rights in
contracts with individual directors, such as
service contracts.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Regal Holding Co., Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Regal Holding Co., Ltd. ("the Company") and its subsidiaries ("the Group"), which comprise the consolidated statement of balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and 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 significant 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, 2023 and 2022, 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"), Interpretation 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 audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by 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 Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China ("the Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 the 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 matter that should be disclosed in this audit report is subsequent measurement of inventories.

Subsequent measurement of inventories

Please refer to Note 4(8), Note (5), and Note 6(4) for accounting policies, accounting assumptions and estimation

219

uncertainty, inventory valuation, and related disclosure information for inventory, respectively

Description of key audit matter:

The inventory of the Group comprises gems, jewelry and raw materials. Since fashion and trends keep changing rapidly and constantly, inventories might become out of date and difficult to meet market demand resulting in the risk that net realizable value of inventories is likely to be lower than costs.

The inventories are measured and recognized subsequently by the Group's management based on both internal and external evidence. Therefore, the subsequent measurement of inventories is considered the key audit matter in our audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our audit procedures included:

Assessing the reasonableness of accounting policies for subsequent measurement of inventories; obtaining aging analysis of inventories and analyzing changes in inventory age categories to verify the appropriateness of the changes, selecting samples to examine verify the accuracy of inventory aging ; obtaining details of subsequent measurement of inventories and understanding the reasonableness of selling prices adopted; verifying net realizable value of inventories by vouching the source documents of samples and determining whether related subsequent measurement of inventories has been appropriately disclosed.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers 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.

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 auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the

220

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:

  1. 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.

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

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

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

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

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 for the six months ended June 30, 2022 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.

221

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors' report are Chun-I Chang and Min-Ju Chao.

(D) Foreign currencies

1. Foreign currency transactions

Transactions in foreign currencies are translated into the respective functional currencies of Group entities at the exchange rates at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each subsequent reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated into the functional 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 currency using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction, exchange differences are generally recognized in profit or loss.

2. Foreign operation

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on acquisition, are translated into the presentation currency at exchange rates at the reporting date. The income and expenses of foreign operations are translated at the average exchange rate in the reporting period. Translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

230

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

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

(E) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

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

  1. It is expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed, in the normal operating cycle;

  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It is expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period;

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

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

An entity shall classify a liability as current when:

  1. It is expected to be settled in the normal operating cycle;

  2. It is held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  3. It is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period, despite the fact that a long-term refinance is completed or a debt agreement is rearranged during the period between the reporting date and the approval date.

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

(F) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and checking deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Fixed deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investments or other purposes are recognized as cash equivalents.

231

Bank overdrafts that are repayable on demand and form an integral part of the Company's cash management are included as a component of cash and cash equivalents for the purpose of the consolidated statement of cash flows.

  • (G) Financial instruments

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting on a consistent basis.

Trade receivables issued are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (except for a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss ("FVTPL"), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issuance of the financial asset or financial liability. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.

1. Financial assets

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

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

  • (1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost

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

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

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

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

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

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

Equity investments at FVOCI are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividends are recognized as income in profit or loss unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. Other net gains and losses are recognized in other comprehensive income and are never reclassified to profit or loss. Dividend income is recognized in profit or loss on the date on which the Group’s right to receive payment is established.

232

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

  • (3) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes impairment for expected credit losses ("ECL") on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, other receivables, refundable deposits and other financial assets).

At each reporting date, the Group performs impairment assessment on its financial assets and contract assets with significant financing components. The Group considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Group’s historical experience and informed credit assessment, as well as forward looking information. The Group measures impairment at an amount equal to 12 month ECL when the credit risk of a financial asset has not increased significantly. It measures impairment at an amount equal to lifetime ECL when the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly. Impairment for trade receivables and contract assets which do not contain a significant financing component are measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. 12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 months after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).

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

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

ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e. the difference between the cash flows due to the 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.

Impairment for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets. The Group recognizes the increase 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.

  • (4) Derecognition of financial assets

Financial assets are derecognized when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial assets expire, or when the Group transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of its financial assets or when the Group neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.

233

2. Financial liabilities

(1) 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 arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.

(2) Equity instrument

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

(3) Convertible bonds

Convertible bonds issued by the Group can be converted to ordinary shares at the option of the holders. The number of shares to be issued is fixed and does not vary when the fair value of the convertible bond changes.

The liability component of the convertible bonds is initially recognized at the fair value of a similar liability that does not have an equity conversion option. Embedded call option and bondholders' put option are measured at fair value and reported as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or losses. The equity component is initially recognized at the difference between the fair value of the convertible bonds as a whole and the fair value of the liability component. Any directly attributable transaction costs are allocated to the liability and equity components in proportion to their initial carrying amounts.

Subsequent to initial recognition, the liability component of a convertible bonds is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. The equity component is not remeasured. The put options and call options of the corporate bonds payable are based on Binary Tree Model to estimate the fair value. The changes in fair value are reported in profit or loss.

Interest expense related to the financial liability is recognized in profit or loss. The financial liability is reclassified to equity upon conversion and no gain or loss is recognized.

  • (4) Other financial liabilities

Financial liabilities not classified as held for trading or designated as at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, including short-term loans, trade payables and other payables. Subsequent to initial recognition, those financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost calculated using the effective interest method, except for short-term financial liabilities, for which interest impacts are insignificant to the measurement. Interest expense not capitalized as capital cost is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in finance costs.

  • (5) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Group derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligation has been discharged or cancelled, or has expired. The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss, and is included in nonoperating income or expenses.

234

  • (6) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities

The Group presents financial assets and liabilities on a net basis in the balance sheet when the Group has the legally enforceable right to offset, and intends to settle such financial assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(H)Inventories

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

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

  • (I) Property, plant and equipment

  • 1.Recognition and measurement

Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes expenditure that is directly attributable to the acquisition of the asset.

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.

  1. Subsequent cost

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

  1. Depreciation

Except that land is not depreciated, 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:

Buildings 10~20 years Machinery and equipment 5 years Transportation equipment 5 years Office equipment 3~5 years Land improvement 5 years

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

235

appropriate.

(J)Lease

The Group recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-ofuse 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 Group's incremental borrowing rate. The lease liability is subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-ofuse asset has been reduced to zero.

The lease payments shall be discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate can be reliably determined. If that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Group shall use its incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

The Group has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for short-term leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Group recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(K)Intangible assets

The Group's intangible assets are computer programs and trademark, which are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The amortizable amount is the cost of an asset less its residual value. Amortization is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets from the date that they are available for use. The estimated useful lives are 3~10 years.

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

236

(L)Impairment of non-financial assets

The carrying amounts of the Group's non-financial assets, other than assets arising from inventories and deferred tax assets, are reviewed at each reporting date to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount for the individual asset, then the Group will have to determine the recoverable amount for the asset's cash generating unit ("CGU").

The recoverable amount for an individual asset or a CGU is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. If, and only if, the recoverable amount of an asset is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset shall be reduced to its recoverable amount; and that reduction will be accounted as an impairment loss, which shall be recognized immediately in profit or loss.

An assessment is made at the end of each reporting period as to whether there is any indication that an impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill may no longer exist or may have decreased. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of that asset is estimated. An impairment loss recognized in prior periods for an asset other than goodwill is reversed 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.

(M)Revenue

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

(N)Employee benefits

1. Defined contribution plans

Obligations for contributions to defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an employee benefit expense in profit or loss in the periods during which services are rendered by employees.

2. Defined benefit plans

A defined benefit plan is a post-employment benefit plan other than a defined contribution plan. The Group's net obligation in respect of defined benefit pension plans is calculated separately for each plan by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in return for their service in the current and prior periods, based on the discounted present value of the said defined benefit obligation. The fair values of any plan assets are deducted for purposes of determining the Group's net defined benefit obligation. The discount rate used in calculating the present value is the market yield at the reporting date of high-quality market corporate bonds or government bonds that have maturity dates approximating the terms of the Group's obligations and that are denominated in the same currency in which the benefits are expected to be paid.

237

The calculation is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. If the calculation results in a benefit to the Group, the recognized asset is limited to the total of 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. In calculating the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any minimum funding requirements that apply to any plan in the Group. An economic benefit is available to the Group if it is realizable during the life of the plan, or on settlement of the plan liabilities.

If the benefits of a plan are amended, the pension cost incurred from the portion of the increased benefit relating to past service provided by employees, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability (asset), which comprise (1) actuarial gains and losses, (2) the return on plan assets (excluding interest), and (3) the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income. The Group can reclassify the amounts recognized in other comprehensive income to retained earnings.

  1. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount 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.

  • (O)Income taxes

Income tax 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 are recognized in profit or loss.

Current taxes comprise the expected tax payable 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 bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:

  1. 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 or losses at the time of the transaction;

  2. temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries 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

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

238

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

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

  1. the Group has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and

  2. the deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on tither:

  3. (1) the same taxable entity; or

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

(P)Earnings per share

The Group discloses the Company's basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. The issued shares from capitalization of retained earnings or capitalization of capital surplus are calculated retrospectively, even the record date of capitalization aforementioned is before the submission date of financial statements.

Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares. The Group’s dilutive potential ordinary shares include the estimation of employee remuneration and convertible bonds.

(Q)Operating segments

An operating segment is a component of the Group that engages in business activities from which it may earn revenues and incur 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 discrete financial information.

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

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC requires management to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

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

There are no judgments made in applying accounting policies that have significant effects on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements.

239

The account of inventories is the one associated with assumptions and estimation uncertainties that have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment within the next financial year. As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the management has to determine net realizable value of inventories at the end of reporting period by judgments and estimation. The management estimates the inventory obsolescence and decline in market value and then writes down the cost of inventories to net realizable value.

The Group applies the simplified approach to assess its expected credit losses, i.e. the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all receivables. To measure the expected credit losses, trade receivables have been grouped based on shared credit risk characteristics and the days past due, as well as incorporated forward looking information, including macroeconomic and relevant industry information.

The Group's analysis on the expected credit loss of its trade receivables in the region of Thailand as of December 31, 2023 and 2022was as follows:

A resolution had been made during the board meeting held on October 5, 2020, for the Company to issue its unsecured convertible bonds in the principal amount of $250,000 thousand for loan repayment and working capital enrichment, with a coupon rate of 0% for 3 years and issued at 100.5% of the par value.

The Company issued its unsecured convertible bonds amounting to $251,250 thousand on December 2, 2020, upon the approval by the Financial Supervisory Commission on November 11, 2020.

  1. Terms of issuing unsecured convertible bonds are as follows:

  2. (1) Coupon rate: 0%。

  3. (2) Duration period: 3 years (December 2, 2020, to December 2, 2023)

  4. (3) Repayment term: the bond are repayable in cash upon maturity of the bonds, except for those which were repurchased by the Company, sold back to the Company, or converted to common stock before maturity.

  5. (4) Conversion period: beginning from three month after the issuance date (March 3, 2021) until maturity (December 2, 2023), bondholders may convert the bonds into common stock according to the conversion rate set in the agreement.

  6. (5)The Company's call option (right of redemption): beginning from three month after the issuance date (March 3, 2021) until 40 days before maturity (October 23, 2023), if the stock closing price exceeds 30% of the conversion price for 30 consecutive working days, or the remaining principal amount of bonds payable, which have not yet been converted into shares is lower than 10% of the total principal, the Company is entitled to send a "bond redemption notification" to the bondholders and publish an announcement through the TPEx to exercise its call option.

  7. (6) Bondholders' put option:

  8. bondholders are entitled to exercise the put option on December 2, 2022, with an exercise price at 101.0025% (annual yield rate of the put option is 0.5%) of the par value of the bonds. Upon receipt of a sell back request, the Company shall pay the amount to the bondholders by cheque or electronic transfer within 5 working days of the put date.

  9. (7) Conversion price and adjustment: The conversion price at the issue date is TWD 30.5 per share. If there is any increase in the Company's common stock (including but not limited to cash injection by public offering or private offering, capital increase from retained earnings or capital surplus, issuance of new shares for consolidation purposes or as the consideration payable by the Company for its acquisition of another company's shares, stock split, or cash injection by participating in the issuance of overseas depository receipts) except for increases in shares from conversion of securities in which a stock conversion right or stock warrant was embedded or from issuance of new shares as employees' bonus, the Company shall calculate and adjust the conversion price based on the formula stated in the conversion arrangement before publishing an announcement through the TPEx. The adjustment shall be made at the ex-rights date when issuing new shares. However, the adjustment will be made at the date when the new share subscriptions are fully collected if the issuance of new shares involves share subscription collection. If the issue price of new shares changes after the ex-rights date for issuing new shares, the conversion price should be adjusted based on the revised issue price by using the formula stated in the conversion arrangement. If such recalculated conversion price is lower than that announced to the public through the TPEx before the ex-rights date for issuing new shares, the Company should re announce the adjustment of the conversion price through the TPEx. The conversion price as of December 31, 2020, is NT$30.5 per share.

The conversion price was adjusted to $27.8 per share on September 11, 2022.

2.99%

2.94%

The expected payments to be made by the Group to the defined benefit plans for the one-year period after the reporting date is $5,870 thousand.

The weighted average lifetimes of the defined benefits plans for daily paid and monthly paid employees are 10~17 years and 12~17 years, respectively.

(5) Sensitivity analysis

The impact of changes in the key actuarial assumptions adopted as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 on the present value of defined benefit obligations is as follows:

December 31, 2023
Discount rate (changes: 0.50%)
Future salary increasing rate (changes: 0.50%)
December 31, 2022
Discount rate (changes: 0.50%)

Decreased 0.50%

(356)
(571)

(247)

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

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

2. Defined contribution plans

The Group allocates 6% of each employee's monthly wages to the labor pension personal account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance in accordance with the provisions of the Labor Pension Act. Under these defined contribution plans, the Group allocates a fixed amount to the Bureau of Labor Insurance without additional legal or constructive obligation.

The pension costs incurred from the contributions to the Bureau of Labor Insurance amounted to $557ousand and $360 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2023 2022 were as follows:

The amounts of revenue recognized for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 that were included in the contract liability balance at the beginning of the period were $1,883 thousand and $1,709 thousand, respectively.

The major changes in the balance of contract liabilities were the differences between the time frame in the performance obligation to be satisfied and the payment received.

(17) Employee compensation and directors' remuneration

According to the amendment of the Company's Articles of Incorporation which was approved during the shareholders' meeting at May 20, 2016, no less than 1 % of the current-year profit before tax, excluding employee compensation and directors' remuneration, shall be distributed as employee compensation, and no more than 3% of the profit as remuneration to directors. However, if the Company has an accumulated deficit, the profit should first be used to offset the deficit. The compensation and remuneration shall be made by way of cash or stock, or a combination of both, wherein the recipients may include the employees of the Company's affiliated companies who meet certain conditions decided by the Board of Directors of the Company.

258

For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company estimated its employee' remuneration amounting to $0 thousand and $437 thousand, respectively, and directors' remuneration both amounting to $0 thousand.

These amounts were calculated using the Company's net income before tax without the remuneration to employees and directors for each period, multiplied by the proposed percentage which is stated under the Company's Article of Incorporation. These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or expenses for each period.

If there is a difference between the actual distribution amount in the next year and the estimated amount, it will be treated according to the change in accounting estimates, and the difference will be recognized as the profit and loss of the following year.

If the board of directors decides to pay employees in stock, the basis for calculating the number of shares for stock compensation is based on the closing price on the day before the decision of the board of directors.

The Company's employee compensation and directors' remuneration approved by the Board of Directors for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, was $0 thousand and $437 thousand, respectively. The resolution to allocate is indifferent from the board's decision. The employee compensation and directors' remuneration information would be available on the Market Observation Post System Website.

(19) Financial instruments

1. Credit risk

(1) Risk exposure

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum amount exposed to credit risk.

(2) Concentration of credit risk

The Group's exposure to credit risk is influenced mainly by the individual characteristics of each customer. However, the management also considers the statistical information on the Group's customer base, including the default risk of the industry and country in which customers operate. These factors may have an influence on credit risk. The Group's trade receivables were obviously concentrated on three main customers, which accounted for 78% and 89% of the total amount of trade receivables as of December 31, 2023 and 2022. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group's trade receivables concentrated on three main customers were $174,632 thousand and $337,521 thousand, respectively.

(3) Credit risk of receivables

Please refer to note 6(2) for information on credit risk of trade receivables; and note 6(3) for details of other receivables.

(2) Sensitivity analysis

The Group's exposure to foreign currency risk mainly arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on bank deposits ,trade receivables and short-term loans, which are denominated in foreign currency

A strengthening (weakening) of the TWD against the USD for 1% as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, would have decreased (increased) profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, by $1,018 thousand and $2,462 thousand, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for the prior year.

(3) Exchange gains and losses of monetary items

  • Due to the different types of functional currency of the Group, the Group discloses its exchange gains and losses of monetary items aggregately. The Company's exchange gains, including realized and unrealized, were $5,243 thousand and $20,134 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively

261

4. Interest rate analysis

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to interest rate risk for derivative and nonderivative financial instruments on the reporting date.

If the interest rate had increased / decreased by 1%, the Group's profit before tax would have decreased / increased by $2,250 thousand and $1,967 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 with all other variable factors remaining constant. This was mainly due to the Group's borrowing at variable rate.

  • (2) The Group seeks to use market observable inputs when measuring the fair values of assets and liabilities. Different levels of the fair value hierarchy to be used in determining the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:

Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2: inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. such as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from calculation of prices).

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

  • (3) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value non-derivative The fair value of unlisted equity instruments is estimated and calculated by using the comparable company approach with a liquidity discount rate which reflects the time value of money and the investment risk premium.

  • (4) Derivative financial instruments evaluation

  • The put options and call options of the corporate bonds payable are based on Binary Tree Model to estimate the fair value.

  • (5) Reconciliation of Level 3 fair values

  • (7) Fair value measurements in Level 3 sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions

264

The Group's measurement of fair values for financial instrument is reasonable. However, a different valuation technique or possible changes to one of the significant unobservable inputs would have different effects. For fair value measurements in Level 3, one of the key significant unobservable inputs is the annual revenue growth rate forecast. The Group did not disclose the sensitivity analysis of that forecast because the possible changes in the annual revenue growth rate forecast would not cause significant potential financial impact.

  • (20) Financial risk management

  • Overview

The Group's exposures to the following risks from its financial instruments:

  • (1) credit risk

  • (2) liquidity risk

  • (3) market risk

The following likewise discusses the Group's objectives, policies and processes for measuring and managing the above-mentioned risks. For more disclosures about the quantitative effects of these risks’

exposures, please refer to the respective notes in the accompanying consolidated financial statements.

2. Structure of risk management

The Group identifies and analyzes its risks to set appropriate control procedures to ensure the

effectiveness of risk management.

The Group uses derivatives to hedge risks. In order to lower the exchange rate risk, interest risk and credit risk, derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments are monitored by its finance

management committee and regulated by its internal policies. The internal auditors continuously undertake reviews on policy compliance and maximum risk exposures.

The Group does not trade in financial instruments, including derivatives, for the purpose of arbitrage.

Finance management committee regularly reports to the Board of Directors on operation of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments.

  1. Credit risk

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, and arises principally from the Group's receivables from customers.

265

(1) Trade and other receivable

In order to reduce the credit risk from receivables, the Group evaluate customers' financial status and obtain insurance coverage for trade receivables from overseas customers. In addition, the Group regularly assesses the collectability and records allowance for expected credit loss. In conclusion, the Group's management is able to control credit risk from trade receivable effectively.

In accordance with the credit policy, all of operating units in the Group are required to perform an analysis of each new customer's credit risk and management before offering payment and delivery terms. The internal risk management evaluates customer credit quality based on financial status, past experience and other factors. An individual risk limit is set on the basis of internal and external ratings. The used credit limit is monitored regularly.

  • (2) Investments

The exposure to credit risk for the bank deposits and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Group's finance management committee, and is properly reviewed and approved based on the approval authority. The Group deals with banks and financial institutions with good credit rating, and selects target

companies with caution to control its exposure. Consequently, there is no significant credit risk arising from these counterparties.

  • (3) Guarantees

The Group's policy is to provide endorsements and guarantees only to counter parties who meet the

requirements in the Group's Regulations Governing Making Endorsements/ Guarantees. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the endorsement and guarantees provided by the Group were both $0 thousand.

  1. Liquidity risk

The finance management committee monitors working capital demand based on forecasts. The Group maintains

sufficient fund to fulfill operational requirements and retain sufficient credit line to avoid violation of related terms and conditions. The forecast is in consideration of finance project and compliance with the terms of loan agreements. Besides, as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group's unused credit lines were $754,045 thousand and $799,053 thousand, respectively.

5. Market risk

Market risk is the risk that changes in market prices, such as foreign exchange rates, interest rates and other prices, will affect the Group's income or the value of its holdings of financial instruments. The objective of market risk

management is to manage and control market risk exposures within acceptable parameters, while optimizing the return.

(1) Currency risk

The Group is exposed to currency risk on sales and borrowings that are denominated in a currency other than the respective functional currencies of the Group’s entities, such as NTD, Thai Baht (THB) and Hong Kong Dollar (HKD). The currencies used in these transactions are the US Dollar (USD).

266

The Group does not have significant net exposure to currency risk arising from its receivables and payables denominated in a foreign currency. The Group uses natural hedge as its policy to hedge currency risk.

(2) Interest rate risk

The Group’s financial assets with exposure to fluctuation in fair value due to changes in interest rates

are bank deposits; financial liabilities with that exposure are short-term loans. However, the changes in fair value of financial instrument due to changes in interest rates are immaterial.

(3) Other price risk

The Group held unlisted investments for which there is no quoted market price in active markets. These are strategic investments and are not held for trading. The Group does not actively trade the investment positions. The Group does not expect that there is a significant market risk related to these investments.

(21) Capital management

The Group's objectives for managing capital to safeguard the capacity to continue to operate, to continue to provide a return on shareholders, to maintain the interest of other related parties, and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital.

In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the dividend payments to the shareholders, reduce the capital for return to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to settle any liabilities.

The Group use the debt-to-equity ratio to manage capital. This ratio is the total debt divided by the total equity. The total debt is derived from the total liabilities in the balance sheet. The total equity includes common stocks, capital surplus,

retained earnings, other equity and non-controlling interest. The Group's collective quantitative data is as follows:
