INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of SUPERALLOY INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of SUPERALLOY INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in

~5~

accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Company’s 2024 parent company only financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s 2024 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:

Cut-off on sales revenue from distribution warehouse

Description

Refer to Note 4(29) for accounting policies on sales revenue recognition. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the Company’s operating revenue amounted to NTD 7,469,668 thousand.

The Company is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and sales of various types of automobile parts. The types of sale are separated into direct delivery and distribution warehouse sales. Distribution warehouse sales revenue constitutes 62.76% of operating

~6~

revenue. Distribution warehouse sales revenue is recognised when customers pick-up the goods (i.e. control is transferred). The Company primarily recognised sales revenue based on the daily inventory movement reports provided by distribution warehouses. As the Company’s distribution warehouses are located globally with numerous custodians, the process of such revenue recognition involves several manual procedures, which would potentially result in inaccurate timing of revenue recognition or the discrepancy in inventory quantities between the physical inventory and accounting records. Thus, we considered the timing of sales revenue recognition of distribution warehouse as one of the key audit matters.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. Obtained an understanding of the Company’s sales revenue procedures and its internal control process in order to assess the effectiveness of managements’ control over sales revenue recognition of distribution warehouse.

  2. Tested the internal control of warehouse distribution (including checking the terms of transaction / timing of ownership transfer and dates of supporting documents) to confirm the accuracy of the timing of sales revenue recognition of distribution warehouse.

  3. Performed cut-off procedures on sales revenue from distribution warehouses recognised during a specific period before and after the balance sheet date and verified the pick-up records of distribution warehouses; in addition, ensured that the movements of inventories indicated in the statements had been recognised in the

~7~

appropriate period.

  1. Performed physical inventory count and confirmation on the ending inventory quantities of distribution warehouses.

Assessment of allowance for inventory valuation losses

Description

Refer to Note 4(11) for accounting policies on inventory valuation, Note 5(2) for accounting estimates and assumptions, and Note 6(5) for the related information of allowance for inventory valuation loss. As of December 31, 2024, the total inventory and allowance for inventory valuation loss amounted to NTD 6,484,242 thousand and NTD 518,063 thousand, respectively.

The Company’s inventories were measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the reasonable net realisable value was identified according to individual inventory’s number using the item by item approach. The Company provided allowance for inventory valuation losses based on usable condition of inventories that were individually identified as obsolete and damaged. As the inventory and its allowance for loss were material to the financial statements and the determination of net realisable value involved subjective judgment and estimates, we considered the assessment of allowance for inventory valuation losses as one of the key audit matters.

~8~

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:

  1. Obtained an understanding of the Company’s nature of the operations and the industry, and assessed the reasonableness of the policies adopted in evaluating the allowance for inventory valuation losses.

  2. Obtained an understanding of the Company’s warehousing control procedures, reviewed annual physical inventory count plan and participated in the annual inventory count in order to assess the classification of obsolete inventory and effectiveness of internal controls over obsolete inventory.

  3. Obtained the report on net realisable value of each inventory item and checked whether the calculation logic was applied consistently to each inventory item; in addition, tested the reasonableness of the supporting documents for net realisable value.

  4. Validated the accuracy of the Company’s inventory aging report used for valuation and recalculated to confirm that information in the report was in line with its policy.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the

parent company only financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial

~9~

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

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’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 Company 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 Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial

statements

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

~10~

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 parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

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

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

  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 Company’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 parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events

~11~

or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  2. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these

~12~

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.

4. Summary of Material Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these parent company only financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

(1) Compliance statement

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

(2) Basis of preparation

  • A. Except for the following items, the parent company only financial statements have been prepared

~21~

under the historical cost convention:

  - (a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

  - (b) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.
  • B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the parent company only financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

  • (3) Foreign currency translation

The parent company only financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

  • A. Foreign currency transactions and balances

  • (a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  • (b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.

  • (c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

  • (d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.

  • B. Translation of foreign operations

  • The operating results and financial position of all the company entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

  • (a) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange

~22~

rate at the date of that balance sheet;

  - (b) Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and

  - (c) All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
  • (4) Classification of current and non-current items

  • A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:

    • (a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

    • (b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

    • (c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

    • (d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

  • B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:

    • (a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;

    • (b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

    • (c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

    • (d) It does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability at least twelve months after the reporting period.

  • (5) Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

(6) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income. Financial assets at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are designated as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition when they eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.

  • D. The Group recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future

~23~

economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

  • (7) Financial assets at amortised cost

  • A. Financial assets at amortised cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:

    • (a) The objective of the Company’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.

    • (b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognised in profit or loss when the asset is derecognised or impaired.

  • D. The Company’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • (8) Accounts and notes receivable

  • A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Company a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.

  • B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • (9) Impairment of financial assets

  • For financial assets at amortised cost including accounts receivable or contract assets that have a significant financing component, at each reporting date, the Company recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Company recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.

(10) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

(11) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads which are allocated based on normal operating capacity. It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in

~24~

applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

  • (12) Investments accounted for using equity method - subsidiaries

  • A. Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

  • B. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Company are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

  • C. The Company’s share of its subsidiaries’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Company’s share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company continues to recognise losses proportionate to its ownership.

  • D. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.

  • E. Pursuant to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, profit (loss) of the current period and other comprehensive income in the non-consolidated financial statements shall be equal to the amount attributable to owners of the parent in the consolidated financial statements. Owners’ equity in the non-consolidated financial statements shall be equal to equity attributable to owners of the parent in the consolidated financial statements.

  • (13) Property, plant and equipment

  • A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.

  • B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  • C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.

~25~

  • D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Land improvements 3 ~ 11 years Buildings and structures 2 ~ 51 years Machinery and equipment 3 ~ 18 years Utility equipment 2 ~ 21 years Other equipment 3 ~ 16 years

  • (14) Leasing arrangements (lessee) right-of-use assets / lease liabilities

  • A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable. The Company subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.

  • C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following: (a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

    • (b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date;

    • (c) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.

      • The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

(15) Intangible assets

  • A. Trademarks and patents

Separately acquired trademarks and patents are stated at historical cost. Trademarks and patents have a finite useful life and are amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 21 years.

~26~

B. Computer software

Computer software is stated at acquisition cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 to 7 years.

(16) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognising impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.

(17) Borrowings

  • Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

(18) Accounts and notes payable

  • A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.

  • B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(19) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of repurchasing in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss at initial recognition:

  • (a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or

  • (b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or

  • (c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management policy.

  • B. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

~27~

(20) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.

(21) Offsetting financial instruments

  • Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(22) Non-hedging and embedded derivatives

  • A. Non-hedging derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is entered into and recorded as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss. They are subsequently remeasured at fair value and the gains or losses are recognised in profit or loss.

  • B. Under the financial assets, the hybrid contracts embedded with derivatives are initially recognised as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortised cost based on the contract terms.

  • C. Under the non-financial assets, whether the hybrid contracts embedded with derivatives are accounted for separately at initial recognition is based on whether the economic characteristics and risks of an embedded derivative are closely related in the host contract. When they are closely related, the entire hybrid instrument is accounted for by its nature in accordance with the applicable standard. When they are not closely related, the derivative is accounted for differently from the host contract as derivative while the host contract is accounted for by its nature in accordance with the applicable standard. Alternatively, the entire hybrid instrument is designated as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.

  • (23) Provisions

  • Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

(24) Employee benefits

  • A. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.

~28~

B. Pensions

  • (a) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  - (b) Defined benefit plans

     - i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) of a currency and term consistent with the currency and term of the employment benefit obligations.

     - ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
  • C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration

    • Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is paid by shares, the Company calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
  • (25) Employee share based payment

  • For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and nonvesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.

  • (26) Income tax

  • A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.

~29~

  • B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

  • C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

  • D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.

  • E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures, personnel training expenditures and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.

  • (27) Share capital

  • A. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

  • B. Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are

~30~

subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

(28) Dividends

Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.

(29) Revenue recognition

The Company manufactures and sells forging wheel products. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account of value-added tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the sale of goods to external customers in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities. The products are often sold with volume discounts based on aggregate sales over a 12month period. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the volume discounts, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The estimation is subject to an assessment at each reporting date. Revenue arising from the sales of goods should be recognised when the Company has delivered the goods to the customer, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. The delivery of goods is completed when the control of ownership has been transferred to the customer, the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, and the customer has accepted the goods based on the sales contract or there is objective evidence showing that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied.

(30) Government grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants related to property, plant and equipment are recognised as noncurrent liabilities and are amortised to profit or loss over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method.

  1. Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Key Sources of Assumption Uncertainty

The preparation of these parent company only financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets

~31~

and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:

(1) Critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies

None.

  • (2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

  • Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Company must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Company evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value. There might be material changes to the evaluation of inventories.

As of December 31, 2024, the carrying amount of inventories was $5,966,179 thousand.

(15) Pensions

A. (a) The Company has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Act, covering all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Labor Standards Act. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The Company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Company would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by the end of December 31, every year. If the account balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company will make contributions for the deficit by next March.

  • (b) The amounts recognised in the balance sheet are as follows:

  • (d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilisation for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-thecounter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitisation products, etc.). With regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after being authorised by the Regulator. The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan assets fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.

  • (e) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:

The sensitivity analysis above is based on one assumption which changed while the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same.

~44~

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous period.

  • (f) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plans of the Company for the year ending December 31, 2025 amount to $1,391 thousand.

In addition, after special reserve is set aside or reversed in accordance with relevant regulations as required by the competent authority, the remainder along with accumulated unappropriated earnings shall be proposed by the Board of Directors and resolved at the shareholders’ meeting to be distributed as dividends and bonus to shareholders. However, the distribution of dividends and bonus or legal reserve and capital surplus, in whole or in part, in the form of cash in accordance with regulations or paragraph 5, Article 240 of the Company Act, shall be authorised to the Board of Directors, through a resolution adopted by the majority vote at their meeting attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors, and the report of such distribution shall be reported to the shareholders during their meeting.

  • B. The Company’s dividend policy is summarised below:

  • To improve the Company’s dividend policy and consider the Company’s capital position, the total dividends are distributed at 10% to 90% of the accumulated distributable earnings, and cash dividends shall account for at least 20% of the total dividends distributed.

  • C. Except for covering accumulated deficit or issuing new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, the legal reserve shall not be used for any other purpose. The use of legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership is permitted, provided that the distribution of the reserve is limited to the portion in excess of 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital.

  • D. In accordance with the regulations, the Company shall set aside special reserve from the debit balance on other equity items at the balance sheet date before distributing earnings. When debit balance on other equity items is reversed subsequently, the reversed amount could be included in the distributable earnings.

  • E. (a) The appropriations of 2023 and 2022 earnings as resolved by the shareholders’ meeting on May 7, 2024 and June 26, 2023, respectively, were as follows:

(2) Contingencies

The Company entered into the Sales Representation Agreement (the “Agreement”) with the German entity, LCTec GmbH (“LCTec” (Note)), in 2011. The Agreement stipulated that LCTec provides services such as sales management and technical support. The period of the Agreement was to August 31, 2016. Except for a notice in advance of 90 days for cancelling the automatic renewal, the Agreement could continue to be renewed for 2 years automatically. The Company notified LCTec to cancel the automatic renewal in April 2018. The Company later discovered there were flaws that made the Agreement entered into invalid and notified LCTec to terminate the Agreement immediately in August 2018.

LCTec filed an application to a German arbitration institution for commencing an arbitration in December 2021 and requested the Company to propose the commission reports from November 2018 to November 2021 then pay the commissions and interests based on the reports to it. The management assessed the results of the repayment and recorded the profit or loss recognised for the provision as operating expenses and finance costs according to the nature after taking appropriate legal advice for the year ended December 31, 2023.

~62~

The Company received an arbitral award in September 2024, which ruled that the Company shall propose related commission reports in accordance with the agreement, and shall pay the commissions and interests to LCTec based on the commission reports, as well as pay the agent compensation amounting to EUR 1,343 thousand and its interests. In September 2024, the Company had paid related agent compensation and interest expense amounting to $74,154 thousand based on the result of arbitral award, which were recognised as other losses and finance costs, respectively. Additionally, in October 2024, the Company proposed the commission reports and paid the commissions amounting to EUR 1,993 thousand ($69,143 thousand) in accordance with the agreement. As of December 31, 2024, the amount paid based on the commission reports which were proposed by the Company in accordance with the agreement is yet to be confirmed by LCTec. However, the interests arising from the related commissions have been estimated and accrued as provision based on the basic interest rate in accordance with Article 247 of the German Commercial Law.

Note: The entity had changed its name on September 25, 2018. Its original name was SuperAlloy International GmbH.

Price risk

  • i. The Company’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.

  • ii. The Company’s investments in financial instruments comprise funds and unlisted stocks issued by the domestic and foreign companies. The prices of financial instruments would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, profit or loss for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 would have increased/decreased by $442 thousand and $0 thousand, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on financial instruments classified as at fair value through profit or loss.

  • Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • i. The Company’s interest rate risk arises from short-term and long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. However, partial interest rate risk is offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, the Company’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in New Taiwan dollars and US Dollars.

  • ii. On December 31, 2024 and 2023, if the borrowing interest rate had changed by 0.25% with all other variables held constant, profit, net of tax for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 would have increased/decreased by $15,269 thousand and $19,749 thousand, respectively.

  • (b) Credit risk

  • i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows stated at fair value through profit or loss.

  • ii. According to the Company’s credit policy, each local unit in the Company is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard receipt or payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors.

  • iii. The Company adopts the assumptions under IFRS 9, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.

  • iv. The Company adopts assumptions under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition: If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.

~70~

  • v. The Company adopts the assumptions under IFRS 9, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 1 year.

  • vi.The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt instruments has occurred:

  • (i). It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation due to their financial difficulties;

  • (ii). The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;

  • (iii).Default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments;

  • (iv). Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions that are expected to cause a default.

  • (vii).The Company classifies customers’ accounts receivable by applying the modified approach using a provision matrix based on the loss rate methodology to estimate the expected credit loss.

  • (viii).The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights.

  • (ix).The Company used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable. On December 31, 2024 and December 31, 2023, the provision matrix is as follows:

(3) Fair value information

  • A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Company’s investment in derivative instruments is included in Level 2.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

  • B. Financial instruments not measured at fair value

  • The Company’s financial instruments not measured at fair value includes the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables (including related parties), financial assets at amortised cost, guarantee deposits paid (shown as other noncurrent assets), short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable (including related parties), other payables (including related parties) and long-term borrowings.

  • C. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities at December 31, 2024 and 2023 are as follows:

  • (a) The related information of natures of the assets and liabilities is as follows:

  • D. The methods and assumptions the Company used to measure fair value are as follows:

  • (a) The instruments the Company used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:

Open-end fund Net asset Market quoted price value

  • (b) Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date (i.e. yield curves on the Taipei Exchange, average commercial paper interest rates quoted from Reuters).

  • (c) When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, debt instruments without active market, interest rate swap contracts, foreign exchange swap contracts and options, the Company adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.

  • (d) The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely accepted by market participants. Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.

  • (e) For the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.

  • (f) The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023:
