INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of SUPERALLOY INDUSTRIAL CO.,LTD
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of SUPERALLOY INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. AND SUBSIDIARIES (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public 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 Group’s 2025 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group’s 2025 consolidated 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, 2025, the Group’s operating revenue amounted to NTD 6,977,352 thousand.
The Group 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 63.70% of operating revenue. Distribution warehouse sales revenue is recognised when customers pick-up the goods (i.e. control is transferred). The Group primarily recognised sales revenue based on the daily inventory movement reports provided by distribution warehouses. As the Group’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.
~6~
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
- Obtained an understanding of the Group’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.
- 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.
- 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 appropriate period.
- 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(12) 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, 2025, the total inventory and allowance for inventory valuation loss amounted to NTD 6,759,932 thousand and NTD 453,250 thousand, respectively.
The Group’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 Group 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.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures in respect of the above key audit matter:
- Obtained an understanding of the Group’s nature of the operations and the industry, and assessed the reasonableness of the policies adopted in evaluating the allowance for inventory valuation losses.
- Obtained an understanding of the Group’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.
- 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 realizable value.
- Validated the accuracy of the Group’s inventory aging report used for valuation and recalculated to confirm that information in the report was in line with its policy.

Other matter – Parent company only financial statements
We have audited and expressed an unmodified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of the SUPERALLOY INDUSTRIAL CO.,LTD as at and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial 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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
~9~
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
~10~
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

- Summary of Material Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies adopted are consistent with Note 4 in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, except for the compliance statement, basis of preparation, basis of consolidation and additional policies as set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group 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 consolidated financial statements have been prepared 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 recognized 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 IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Basis of consolidation
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group's consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group 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. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
~20~
(d) Changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) 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 recognized directly in equity.
(e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.
B. Subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements:
| Name of investor | Name of subsidiary | Main business activities | Ownership(%) | Description | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | ||||
| SUPERALLOY INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. | SuperAlloy Manufaktur GmbH. (SAMF) | Coating and processing of vehicle components, European Logistics Centre | 100% | 100% | |
| SUPERALLOY INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. | Jiayi Co., Ltd. | Casting of aluminum | 85% | 0% | Note |
Note: To expand the application of recycled aluminum products and enhance the Company's growth momentum of future business, on October 1, 2024, the Board of Directors resolved to invest and establish the subsidiary, Jiayi Co., Ltd.. The shareholding ratio of the investment was 85% with an investment amount of $255,000 thousand, and the registration was approved by the competent authority on April 28, 2025.
C. Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.
D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.
E. Significant restrictions
None.
F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group:
None.
(4) Foreign currency translation
The consolidated 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 recognized 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 re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized 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 recognized 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 recognized in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary 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 group 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 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 recognized in other comprehensive income.
(5) 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 that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed in the normal
~22~
operating cycle;
(b) Assets that are held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months after the reporting period;
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities for at least twelve months after the reporting period.
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 in the normal operating cycle;
(b) Liabilities that are held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(c) Liabilities that are due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period;
(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.
(6) 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.
(7) 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 Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group 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 economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(8) Financial assets at amortized cost
A. Financial assets at amortized cost are those that meet all of the following criteria:
(a) The objective of the Group'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 fair value through profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.
~23~
C. At initial recognition, the Group 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 recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired.
D. The Group’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.
(9) Accounts and notes receivable
A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group 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.
(10) Impairment of financial assets
For financial assets at amortized cost including accounts receivable or contract assets that have a significant financing component, at each reporting date, the Group recognizes the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognizes 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 Group recognizes the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(11) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
(12) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, 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 applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable 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.
(13) Property, plant and equipment
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the
~24~
replaced part is derecognized. 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.
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 | 1 ~ 18 years |
| Utility equipment | 2 ~ 25 years |
| Other equipment | 1 ~ 16 years |
(14) Leasing arrangements (lessee) — right-of-use assets / lease liabilities
A. Leases are recognized 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 Group. For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognized 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 Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortized cost using the interest method and recognizes interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognized 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
~25~
lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognized 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 amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives of 3 to 21 years.
B. Computer software
Computer software is stated at acquisition cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3~7 years.
(16) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group 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 recognized 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 recognizing 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 amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognized.
(17) Borrowings
Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized 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 categorized 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
~26~
(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 Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognized in profit or loss.
(20) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognized 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 recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(22) Non-hedging and embedded derivatives
A. Non-hedging derivatives are initially recognized 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 recognized in profit or loss.
B. Under the financial assets, the hybrid contracts embedded with derivatives are initially recognized as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortized 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
A. Provisions are recognized when the Group 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 recognized as interest expense. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
~27~
B. Under the Climate Change Response Act and its regulations in the ROC, carbon fees levied are not applicable under IFRIC 21, ‘Levies’ but are recognised and measured in accordance with IAS 37, ‘Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets’. If the estimated annual emissions are probable to exceed the threshold for levying, liabilities in relation to emission fees are estimated and accrued based on the proportion of emissions already incurred to the estimated annual emissions in the interim financial statements.
(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 recognized as expense in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
(a) Defined contribution plans
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized 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 recognized 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 recognized 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 recognized 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 Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
~28~
(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 recognized 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 non-vesting 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 recognized 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 recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.
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 Group 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 recognized, 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 an asset or liability in a transaction that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss.
D. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized 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 recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize 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 realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
~29~
F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognized 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 utilized.
(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 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 Group’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 Group 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 Group’s activities. The products are often sold with volume discounts based on aggregate sales over a 12-month 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 Group 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 Group 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~
(30) Government grants
Government grants are recognized at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with any conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants related to property, plant and equipment are recognized as non-current liabilities and are amortized to profit or loss over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method.
(31) Operating segments
Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The Group’s chief operating decision-maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.
- Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Key Sources of Assumption Uncertainty
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’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 and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies
None.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Evaluation of inventories
As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group must determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group 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 realizable value. There might be material changes to the evaluation of inventories.
As of December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of inventories was $6,306,682 thousand.

(14) Pensions
A. (a) The Group 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 Group 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 Group would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by the end of December 31, every year. If the account balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Group will make contributions for the deficit by next March.
(b) The amounts recognized in the balance sheet are as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Present value of defined benefit obligations | $ 54,804 | $ 39,861 |
| Fair value of plan assets | ( 22,401) | ( 20,323) |
| Net defined benefit liability | $ 32,403 | $ 19,538 |

(d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Group's defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Fund's annual investment and utilization plan and the "Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilization of the Labor Retirement Fund" (Article 6: The scope of utilization for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private
placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign real estate securitization products, etc.). With regard to the utilization 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 authorized by the Regulator. The Group has no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Group 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, 2025 and 2024 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilization Report announced by the government.
(e) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:
| Years ended December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rate | 1.40% | 1.65% |
| Future salary increases | 2.00% | 2.00% |
Assumptions regarding future mortality rate are set based on the 6th and 5th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table.
Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:
| Discount rate | Future salary increases | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Increase 0.25% | Decrease 0.25% | Increase 0.25% | Decrease 0.25% | |
| December 31, 2025 | ||||
| Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation | ($ 1,433) | $ 1,486 | $ 1,474 | ($ 1,428) |
| December 31, 2024 | ||||
| Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation | ($ 967) | $ 1,002 | $ 996 | ($ 966) |
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.
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 Group for the year ending December 31, 2026 amount to $1,512 thousand.
(g) As of December 31, 2025, the weighted average duration of the retirement plan is 10 years. The analysis of timing of the future pension payment was as follows:
| Within 1 year | $ | 1,189 |
|---|---|---|
| 1-2 year(s) | 1,503 | |
| 2-5 years | 8,479 | |
| Over 5 years | 52,402 | |
| $ | 63,573 |
B. (a) Effective July 1, 2005, the Company has established a defined contribution pension plan (the "New Plan") under the Labor Pension Act (the "Act"), covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, the Group contributes monthly an amount based on $6\%$ of the employees' monthly salaries and wages to the employees' individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance. The benefits accrued are paid monthly or in lump sum upon termination of employment.
(b) For the aforementioned pension plan, the Group recognized pension costs of $30,334 thousand and$ 31,807 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
(c) The subsidiaries in Europe contribute to the statutory pension insurance or pension fund for their employees based on their wages and salaries in compliance with local laws and regulations. Other than the annual contributions, the entities have no further obligations. For the aforementioned pension plan, the Group recognized pension costs of $10,989 thousand and$ 7,804 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.

C. The fair value of stock options granted on grant date is measured using the Black-Scholes option-pricing model. Relevant information is as follows:
Year ended December 31, 2024
| Type of arrangement | Grant date | Stock price | Exercise price | Expected price volatility | Expected option life | Expected dividends | Risk-free interest rate | Fair value per unit of the option | Fair value of the target |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

(a) The fair value of the target takes into consideration that the transferred stocks were subject to the restriction that they shall not be transferred within one year. Thus, the range of discount of the target stocks subject to this restriction was considered to reasonably reflect the fair value of the restricted stocks.
(b) Expected price volatility rate was estimated by using the daily history stock prices of the most recent three months before the grant date, and the standard deviation of return on the stock during this period.

(2) Contingencies
The Group 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 Group notified LCTec to cancel the automatic renewal in April 2018. The Group 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 Group 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.

In September 2024, the Group 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 Group proposed the commission reports and paid the commissions amounting to EUR 1,993 thousand ($69,143 thousand). 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; The Group had completed the payment in accordance with the contract on August 1, 2025..

B. Financial risk management policies
(a) The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Group's financial position and financial performance.
(b) Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group treasury). Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative
financial instruments and investment of excess liquidity in close co-operation with the operating units.
(c) Information about derivative financial instruments that are used to hedge certain exchange rate risk are provided in Note 6(2).
C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
i. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to exchange rate risk arising from the transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries used in various functional currency, primarily with respect to the USD, EUR and JPY. Foreign exchange rate risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities.
ii. Management has set up a policy to require the Group to manage its foreign exchange risk against its functional currency. Each unit of the Group is required to hedge its entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Group treasury. Each unit of the Group uses natural hedges or forward foreign exchange contracts with the Group treasury to manage and hedge the foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities. Foreign exchange risk arises when future commercial transactions and recognised assets or liabilities are denominated in a currency that is not the entity's functional currency.
iii. The Group hedges foreign exchange rate by using foreign exchange swap contracts. However, the Group does not adopt hedging accounting. Details of financial assets or liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are provided in Note 6(2).

Price risk
i. The Group's financial instruments, 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 financial instruments, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.
ii. The Group'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
financial instruments had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, profit or loss for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $552 thousand and $442 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 Group’s interest rate risk arises from short-term and long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group 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, 2025 and 2024, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in New Taiwan dollars, US dollars and Euros.
ii. If the interest rates of had increased or decreased by 0.25%, the maximum impact on the net of tax for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have decreased or increased by $20,199 thousand and $15,729 thousand, respectively.
(b) Credit risk
i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group 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 amortised cost and at fair value through profit or loss.
ii. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group 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. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.
iii. The Group adopts the assumptions under IFRS 9, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 90 days.
iv. The Group 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.
v. 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
~72~
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.
vi. The Group adopts the assumptions under IFRS 9, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 1 year.
vii. The Group 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 Group used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable. On December 31, 2025 and 2024, the provision matrix is as follows:
| At December 31, 2025 | Expected loss rate | Total book value | Loss allowance |
|---|---|---|---|
| Not past due | 0.00% | $ 722,071 | $ - |
| Up to 30 days | 0.02% | 32,135 | 8 |
| 31 to 90 days | 0.26% | 1,957 | 5 |
| 91 to 180 days | 0.82% | 4,771 | 39 |
| 181 to 365 days | 12.54% | 981 | 123 |
| Over 1 year | 93% | 600 | 557 |
| $ 762,515 | $ 732 | ||
| At December 31, 2024 | Expected loss rate | Total book value | Loss allowance |
| Not past due | 0.01% | $ 992,055 | $ 100 |
| Up to 30 days | 0.14% | 50,669 | 69 |
| 31 to 90 days | 0.59% | 6,148 | 36 |

| Over 1 year | 100% | 295 | 295 |
| $ 1,055,024 | $ 677 |
x. Movements in relation to the Group applying the modified approach to provide loss allowance for accounts receivable are as follows:
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Accounts receivable | Accounts receivable | |||
| At January 1 | $ | 677 | $ | 10,534 |

| Write-offs of allowance for uncollectible accounts | - | ( | 665) | |
| At December 31 | $ | 732 | $ | 677 |
(c) Liquidity risk
i. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.
ii. Group treasury invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts, time deposits and beneficiary certificates, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient head-room as determined by the above-mentioned forecasts.
iii. The Company has the following undrawn borrowing facilities:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|

(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 Group’s investment in derivative instruments is included in Level 2.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in hybrid instruments and equity investment without active market is included in Level 3.
B. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
The Group’s financial instruments not measured at fair value includes the carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, financial assets at amortised cost, guarantee deposits paid (shown as other non-current assets), short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, long-term borrowings and lease liability.
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, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:
(a) The related information of natures of the assets and liabilities is as follows:

D. The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:
(a) The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
| Market quoted price | Net asset value |
|---|---|
| Open-end fund |
(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 Group 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. Structured foreign exchange derivative instruments are
measured by using appropriate option pricing models (i.e. Black-Scholes model).
(e) For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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, 2025 and 2024:
| 2025 | 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| At January 1 | $ | 35,941 | $ | - |
