INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of STANDARD CHEM. & PHARM. CO., LTD.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of STANDARD CHEM. & PHARM. CO., LTD. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred herein as the “Group”) as of 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, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to Other matter section), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of 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 Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance
with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, 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 matter of the Group’s 2025 consolidated financial statements is stated as follows:
Existence of domestic sales revenue from human medicines and dietary supplements
Description
Refer to Note 4(27) for accounting policies on revenue recognition. Revenue is recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s acceptance of the products.
The Group is primarily engaged in the manufacturing and sales of human medicines and dietary supplements. The Group’s sales is mainly domestic-based and its customers are numerous, including hospitals, clinics, pharmacies, food and drug administrations all over the country. Since the sales transactions are numerous and would require a longer period for verification, we considered the existence of domestic sales revenue from human medicines and dietary supplements a key audit matter.
~6~
~7~
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following audit procedures for the above key audit matter:
- Assessed the consistency and effectiveness of internal control relevant to sales revenue recognition.
- Assessed basic information of the major customers, including the details of the chairman and major shareholders, registered address, principal place of business, capital and main business activities, etc.
- Selected samples of sales transactions and checked against related supporting documentation, including unit prices, quantities, reasonableness of sales allowance recognition, waybill and subsequent cash collection.
Other matter – Reference to the audits of other auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for under equity method which were audited by other auditors. Therefore, our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in respect of these associates, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. The balance of these investments accounted for under equity method amounted to $302,640 thousand and $389,749 thousand, constituting 2.57% and 3.49% of the consolidated total assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, and the share of comprehensive loss of associates and joint ventures accounted for under equity method amounted to ($21,999) thousand and ($6,775) thousand, constituting (2.09%) and (0.47%) of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the years then ended, respectively.
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unmodified opinion with other matter paragraph on the parent company only financial statements of STANDARD CHEM. & PHARM. CO., LTD. as of 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 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.
~8~
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on 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.
~9~
- 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.
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.

4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are 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", 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").
(2) Basis of preparation
A. Except for the following items, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
(a) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
(b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(c) Defined benefit assets and 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 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, ‘CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY’.
(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 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 unrealised 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.
(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 recognised 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. The 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 recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary
~21~
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 recognised 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.

Note 1: The subsidiary, Syngen Biotech Co., Ltd. ("Syngen Biotech"), filed for an initial public offering with the Taipei Exchange. As part of the public trading process, the Group allowed its underwriter to exercise the overallotment option. Although the Group's ownership percentage in Syngen Biotech is below $50\%$ , the Group is still the largest single shareholder, and thus the Group did not lose its control over Syngen Biotech.
Note 2: The Group's shareholding ratio is lower than $50\%$ . However, the Group is the single largest shareholder of Syn-Tech Chem. & Pharm. Co., Ltd. ("Syn-Tech"), as the Group obtained
substantial control over Syn-Tech through comprehensive assessment and reaching an agreement with another major shareholder.
Note 3: In May 2025, Ho Yao Biopharm Co., Ltd. conducted a cash capital increase, in which the Company subscribed to all shares amounting to $26,700. After the capital increase, the Company’s ownership interest in the subsidiary was 90.71%. As the Company did not subscribe to the subsidiary’s new shares in proportion to its original ownership interest, a decrease of $1,298 in unappropriated retained earnings was recognised.
Note 4: Newly established during the first quarter of 2024.
Note 5: Jiangsu Standard Biotech Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. has filed an application with the local court for the bankruptcy liquidation of Jiangsu Standard-Dia Biopharma Co., Ltd. The application has been formally accepted by the court, and the bankruptcy proceedings are currently ongoing.

(4) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company's functional and the Group's presentation 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 re-translated 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, 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 other foreign exchange gains and losses based on the nature of those transactions are presented in the consolidated statements of comprehensive income within other gains and losses.
B. Translation of foreign operations
(a) The financial performance and financial position of all the group entities and associates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
(b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign associate after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.
(c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, if the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
(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 operating cycle;
(b) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within 12 months after the reporting period;
~28~
(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 12 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 arising primarily from trading activities;
(c) Liabilities that are due to be settled within 12 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 12 months after the reporting period.
(6) Cash equivalents
A. 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.
B. Time deposits and repurchase bonds 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.
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 amortised cost
A. Financial assets at amortised 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. 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) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income
A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs.
~29~
The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:
The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognised as revenue 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.
(10) 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.
(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 process comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (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 realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. If the cost exceeds net realisable value, valuation loss is accrued and recognised in operating costs. If the net realisable value reverses, valuation is eliminated within credit balance and is recognised as deduction of operating costs.
(12) Impairment of financial assets
For financial assets at amortised cost, at each reporting date, the Group 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 that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
(13) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
(14) Leasing arrangements (lessor)—operating leases
Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to lessee) is recognised in profit or loss on straight-line basis over the lease term.
(15) Investments accounted for under equity method / associates
A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or
~30~
indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for under the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
B. The Group’s share of its associates’ 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 Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
C. When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises the Group’s share of change in equity of the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
D. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
E. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and ‘investments accounted for under equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
F. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
G. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss proportionately.
~31~
~32~
(16) 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 Group 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.
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:
| Assets | Useful lives | ||
|---|---|---|---|
| Buildings (including auxiliary equipment) | 2 | ~ | 60 years |
| Machinery and equipment | 2 | ~ | 50 years |
| Utility equipment | 2 | ~ | 20 years |
| Transportation equipment | 2 | ~ | 15 years |
| Office equipment | 2 | ~ | 9 years |
| Other equipment | 2 | ~ | 20 years |
(17) 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 Group. 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 incentive receivable. The Group 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; and
(b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date.
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.
D. For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the lessee shall decrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset and remeasure the lease liability to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognise the difference in profit or loss. For all other lease modifications, the lessee shall remeasure the lease liability and adjust the right-of-use asset, correspondingly.
(18) Intangible assets
A. Goodwill
Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
B. Computer software
Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 1~20 years.
C. Patents
Patents is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 5~20 years.
D. Other intangible assets
Technical skill transfer fee, royalty paid for acquisition of techniques and distribution rights and trademarks are stated at cost, with exception of technical skill transfer fee, other intangible assets are amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 9~10 years. The technical skill transfer fee is regarded as having an indefinite useful life as it was assessed to generate continuous net cash inflow in the foreseeable future. Therefore it is not amortised, but is tested annually for impairment.
(19) Impairment of non-financial assets
A. 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 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. Except for goodwill, 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.
~33~
B. The recoverable amounts of goodwill and intangible asset with uncertain useful life are evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognised in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the following years.
C. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that is/are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the entity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.
(20) 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.
(21) Notes and accounts 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.
(22) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(23) 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 expenses in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
(a) Defined contribution plan
For defined contribution plan, the contributions are recognised as pension expenses 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 plan
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
~34~
defined benefit pension plan 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' remuneration
Employees' compensation and directors' remuneration are recognised as expenses and liabilities, 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 employees' compensation is distributed by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
(24) 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.
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 and its domestic subsidiaries operate and generate 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 and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. 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 Group 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.
~35~
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 or different entities 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 research and development expenditures, etc., to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.
(25) Share capital
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.
(26) Dividends
Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities in the Company's financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Board of Directors. Stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed in which they are resolved by the Company's shareholders and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
(27) Revenue recognition
A. Sales of goods
(a) The Group manufactures and sells human pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements, etc. Revenue is recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer's acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
(b) Goods are often sold with discounts and allowances based on the price spread given by the National Health Insurance. Revenue is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated sales discounts and allowances. Reversal of accounts receivable is recognised for expected sales discounts and allowances payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. The terms of sales transactions are set individually with each clients and usually are made with cash payment in 2 months after billings, or to obtain cheques with a maturity of $4 \sim 6$ months upon billings. As the time
~36~
interval between the transfer of committed goods or service and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.
(c) A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.
B. Rendering of services
(a) The Group provides processing services. Revenue from providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered. For fixed price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the end of the balance sheet date as a proportion of the total services to be provided.
(b) The Group’s estimate about revenue, costs and progress towards complete satisfaction of a performance obligation is subject to a revision whenever there is a change in circumstances. Any increase or decrease in revenue or costs due to an estimate revision is reflected in profit or loss during the period when the management become aware of the changes in circumstances.
C. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract
Given that the contractual period lasts less than one year, the Group recognises the incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred although the Group expects to recover those costs.
(28) Government grants
Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate.
(29) 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.
~37~
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
A. Valuation of inventories
(a) As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the influence of different market demand and expiration date, etc., 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 realisable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the valuation.
(b) As of December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of inventories was $1,569,221.
B. Financial assets - fair value measurement of unlisted stocks without active market
(a) The fair value of unlisted stocks held by the Group that are not traded in an active market is determined considering those companies' recent funding raising activities and technical development status, fair value assessment of other companies of the same type, market conditions and other economic indicators existing on balance sheet date. Any changes in these judgements and estimates will impact the fair value measurement of these unlisted stocks. Please refer to Note 12(3) for the fair value information of financial instruments.
(b) As of December 31, 2025, the carrying amount of unlisted stocks without active market was $119,670.

A. The Group has elected to classify equity instruments that are considered to be strategic investments as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Without taking into account any collateral held or other credit enhancements, the maximum exposure to credit risk in respect of the amount that best represents the financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income held by the Group was its book value.
B. The Group disposed financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income in the amount of $30,549 and $12,504 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. This resulted in cumulative (loss) gain on disposal amounting to ($1) and $6,418, which was reclassified to retained earnings for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
C. The Group held certain investments in equity instruments, and the investee company was liquidated in December 2025. As a result of the liquidation, the Group was allocated residual properties, acquiring shares measured at fair value amounting to $3,329, which were elected to be classified as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Upon the investee company's liquidation, the cumulative valuation loss of $4,458 was deemed as disposed and reclassified to retained earnings.
D. The Group recognised ($214,900) and $90,593 in other comprehensive income in relation to fair value change for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
E. The Group recognised dividend income of $90,283 and $11,671 in profit or loss (listed as “Other income”) from financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
F. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group has no financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income pledged to others.
G. In March 2025, the Company’s Board of Directors resolved to subscribe for 1,700,000 common shares of Easywell Biomedicals, Inc. through a private placement, in accordance with the “Directions for Public Companies Conducting Private Placements of Securities.” The total subscription amount was $99,212, and the related payment has been fully settled.

(Note) In May 2025, the Company established a subsidiary, Standard Pharma Holding Co., Ltd., and held 60% ownership interest. On June 30, 2025, the subsidiary conducted a cash capital increase, and the Company's ownership interest decreased to 48.86% as it did not subscribe to the new shares in proportion to its ownership interest. Although the Company remained the single largest shareholder, from the date of the capital increase, it did not hold more than half of the voting rights at the shareholders' meetings, nor did it have any contractual arrangements with other shareholders to consult or jointly make decisions. This indicates that the Group does not have the practical ability to direct the relevant activities, and therefore it was determined that the Group no longer has control over the subsidiary but retains significant influence. For more information regarding the loss of control, please refer to Note 6(29), 'Supplemental cash flow information'.

A. No borrowing costs were capitalised as part of intangible assets for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
B. Details of amortisation on intangible assets are as follows:
| For the years ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|

| $ 12,945 | $ 12,278 |
C. The Group applied value in use method when calculating recoverable amount of goodwill and determined the recoverable amount to be greater than the carrying amount; thus, no impairment was identified. Goodwill distributed to cash generating unit according to operating segment is shown below:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |

D. Impairment information about the intangible assets is provided in Note 6(11), "Impairment of non-financial assets".
E. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group has no intangible assets pledged to others.
(11) Impairment of non-financial assets
A. Goodwill is tested annually for impairment. Goodwill is allocated to the Group's cash-generating unit identified according to operating segment. The recoverable amount of all cash-generating units has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. These calculations use cash flow projections based on financial budgets approved by the cash-generating unit. Cash flow of financial budgets is prepared based on forecasts of growth of future annual revenue, profit and capital expenditure. Management determined budgeted gross margin based on past performance and its expectation of market development. The weighted average growth rates used are consistent with the forecasts included in industry reports. The discount rates used are pre-tax and reflect specific risks relating to the relevant operating segments.
B. The recoverable amount of all cash-generating units calculated using the value-in-use exceeded their carrying amount, so goodwill was not impaired for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
C. The Group identified indications of impairment for intangible assets for the year ended December 31, 2025. Therefore, the Group referred to an expert's appraisal report to estimate their recoverable amount. The recoverable amount was lower than the carrying amount, resulting in the recognition of an impairment loss of $400 (listed as "Other gains and losses"). The key assumptions used to calculate the recoverable amount are as follows:
| For the year ended December 31, 2025 | |
|---|---|
| Royalty rate | 4.5% |
| Growth rate | 4% |
| Discount rate | 14.34% |
D. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying amount of accumulated impairment of non-financial assets was $16,134 and $15,734, respectively.

(15) Pensions
A. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries have a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labour Standards Law, covering all regular employees' service years prior to the enforcement of the Labour Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Law. 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 and its domestic subsidiaries contribute monthly an amount equal to $2\% \sim 5\%$ 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 and its domestic subsidiaries would assess the balance in the aforementioned labour pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account balances are insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries will make contribution for the deficit by next March. In accordance with defined benefit pension plan, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries disclose the related information as follows:
(a) The amounts recognised in the balance sheet are as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |||

(c) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company's and its domestic subsidiaries' 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 Labour 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-the-counter, 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 and its domestic subsidiaries have no right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence the Company and its domestic subsidiaries are unable to disclose the classification of plan asset fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 is given in the Annual Labour Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.
(d) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:
| For the years ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rate | 1.30%~1.40% | 1.60%~1.65% |
| Future salary increases | 2.00%~3.00% | 2.00%~3.00% |
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, assumptions regarding future mortality rate are both set based on the 6th 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 | ($ 8,070) | $ 8,303 | $ 7,972 | ($ 7,789) |
| December 31, 2024 | ||||
| Effect on present value of defined benefit obligation | ($ 8,661) | $ 8,918 | $ 8,585 | ($ 8,382) |
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 year.
(e) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plan of the Group for the year ending December 31, 2026 amount to $9,311.
(f) As of December 31, 2025, the weighted average duration of that retirement plan is $5 \sim 9$ years. The analysis of timing of the future pension payment was as follows:
Within 1 year
$ 30,565
2~5 years
166,526
Over 5 years
317,201
$ 514,292
B. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries have established a defined contribution pension plan (the "New Plan") under the Labour Pension Act (the "Act"), covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries contribute monthly an amount based on $6\%$ of the employees' monthly salaries and wages to the employees' individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labour
Insurance. The benefits accrued are paid monthly or in lump sum upon termination of employment. The Group's subsidiaries in Mainland China are subject to the government sponsored defined contribution plan. Monthly contributions to an independent fund administered by the government in accordance with the pension regulations in the People's Republic of China (PRC) are based on a certain percentage of employees' monthly salaries and wages. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the contribution rates are both from 16%. Other than the monthly contributions, the Group has no further obligations. The pension costs under the defined contribution pension plans of the Group for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 were $60,525 and $58,321, respectively.

Shares can be issued several times. All proceeds from shares issued have been collected.
(17) Capital surplus
A. Pursuant to the R.O.C. Company Act, capital surplus arising from paid-in capital in excess of par value on issuance of common stocks and donations can be used to cover accumulated deficit or to issue new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, provided that the Company has no accumulated deficit. Further, the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Act requires that the amount of capital surplus to be capitalised mentioned above should not exceed 10% of the paid-in capital each year. Capital surplus should not be used to cover accumulated deficit unless the legal reserve is insufficient.
B. As the Company's associate, We Can Medicines Co., Ltd., issued and converted employee stock options resulting in changes in net equity, the Group recognised the change in net equity proportionately to its ownership amounting to $508 and $1,779 for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
C. Due to the initial public offering on the Taipei Exchange in the first quarter of 2024, the Company's associate, We Can Medicines Co., Ltd., issued new shares through cash capital increase, and the Group did not subscribe the shares proportionately to its ownership, resulting in an increase in capital surplus by $74,391.

(18) Retained earnings
A. Within the limit, 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.
B. Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, as the Company operates in a volatile business environment and is in the stable growth stage, the Board of Directors takes into consideration the Company’s future capital needs, long-term financial planning and shareholders’ needs for cash inflow. The Company’s earnings, if any, are distributed in the following order:
(a) Pay all taxes.
(b) Cover accumulated deficit.
(c) Appropriate 10% as legal reserve, until such legal reserve amounts to the total paid-in capital.
(d) Appropriate or reverse special reserve in accordance with regulations.
(e) At least 10% of the remainder and previous unappropriated retained earnings as stockholders’ bonus and cash dividends shall account for at least 20% of total dividends distributed. If the cash dividend is below $0.5 (in dollars) per share, the Company can distribute stock dividends instead of cash dividends upon resolution of the shareholders.
When the shareholders bonus is distributed in stock dividend, it shall be allocated according to the resolutions of the shareholders during their meeting. The Company authorised the Board of Directors to process resolution resolved by a majority vote at the meeting attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors: all or part of distributed dividends and bonus, and capital reserve/legal surplus reserve shall be distributed by cash. The result shall be reported to the shareholders’ meeting.
C. 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. For the year ended December 31, 2024, special reserve amounting to $115,935 was reversed based on the above circumstance. There was no such situation for the year ended December 31, 2025.

Employees' compensation will be distributed in the form of shares or cash. Qualification requirements of employees, including the employees of subsidiaries of the company meeting certain specific requirements, are entitled to receive aforementioned stock or cash. The Company may, by a resolution adopted by a majority vote at a meeting of board of directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors, have the profit distributable as employees' compensation distributed in the form of shares or in cash; and in addition thereto a report of such distribution shall be submitted to the shareholders during their meeting.

As resolved by the Board of Directors on February 24, 2026, the employees' compensation and directors' remuneration were $10,669 and $4,500, respectively, and the employees' compensation will be
distributed in the form of cash.

B. Risk management policies
(a) The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, price risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. To minimise any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group, derivative financial instruments may be used to hedge certain risk.
(b) Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group treasury) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group treasury identifies, evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Group’s operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments.

C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
(a) Market risk
Foreign exchange risk
i. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the transactions of the Group used in various functional currencies, primarily with respect to the USD, EUR, JPY and RMB. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities.
ii. The Group has certain sales and purchases denominated in USD and other foreign currencies. Changes in market exchange rates would affect the fair value. However, the payment and collection periods of asset and liability positions in foreign currencies are close, market risk can be offset. The Group does not expect significant interest rate risk.
iii. The Group has certain investments in foreign operations, whose net assets are exposed to foreign currency translation risk. However, the net investments of foreign operations are strategic investments, thus the Group does not hedge the investments.
iv. The Group's businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company's and certain subsidiaries' functional currency: NTD; other certain subsidiaries' functional currency: USD, PHP, VND and RMB). The information on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values would be materially affected by the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Foreign currency amount (In thousands) | Exchange rate | Book value | |
| (Foreign currency: functional currency) | |||
| Financial assets | |||
| Monetary items | |||
| USD: NTD | $ 29,340 | 31.43 | $ 922,156 |
| EUR: NTD | 596 | 36.90 | 21,992 |
| JPY: NTD | 677,389 | 0.2008 | 136,020 |
| RMB: NTD | 6,232 | 4.496 | 28,019 |
| Financial liabilities | |||
| Monetary items | |||
| USD: NTD | 325 | 31.43 | 10,215 |
~77~
| December 31, 2024 | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Foreign currency amount (In thousands) | Exchange rate | Book value | |
| (Foreign currency: functional currency) | |||
| Financial assets | |||
| Monetary items | |||
| USD: NTD | $ 20,330 | 32.79 | $ 666,621 |
| EUR: NTD | 938 | 34.14 | 32,023 |
| JPY: NTD | 321,818 | 0.2099 | 67,550 |
| RMB: NTD | 5,005 | 4.478 | 22,412 |
| Financial liabilities | |||
| Monetary items | |||
| USD: NTD | 382 | 32.79 | 12,526 |
With regard to sensitivity analysis of foreign currency exchange rate risk, if the exchange rates of NTD to all foreign currencies had appreciated/depreciated by 1%, with all other factors remaining constant, the Group's net income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $8,784 and $6,209, respectively.
v. Total net exchange (loss) gain, including realised and unrealised, arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 amounted to ($15,666) and $86,853, respectively.
Price risk
i. The Group's equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, 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 equity securities comprise shares and open-end funds issued by the domestic companies. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee items. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $1,246 and $1,883, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $5,222 and $4,034, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income on equity investments classified as at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk
i. The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term and short-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD.
ii. With regard to sensitivity analysis of interest rate risk, if interest rates on borrowings at that date had been 1% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have been $68 and $121 lower/higher, respectively, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.
(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.
ii. The Group manages its credit risk taking into consideration the entire company’s concern. 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 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. In line with credit risk management procedure, payment reminders are sent as the contract payments are past due, whereby the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over certain period of time, and recourse procedures are initiated. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights.
iv. The Group classifies customer’s notes and accounts receivable in accordance with credit rating of customer. The Group applies the modified approach using provision matrix to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis. The Group used the forecastability of conditions to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of notes and accounts receivable, whereby rate ranging from 0.01% to 100% are applied to the provision matrix. Movements in relation to the Group applying the modified approach to provide loss allowance for notes and accounts receivable are as follows:
~78~
~79~
For the year ended December 31, 2025
| Notes receivable | Accounts receivable | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginning balance | $ 428 | $ 26,388 | $ 26,816 |
| Expected credit loss (gain) | 21 | ( 2,571) | ( 2,550) |
| Write-off | - | ( 15,477) | ( 15,477) |
| Ending balance | $ 449 | $ 8,340 | $ 8,789 |
For the year ended December 31, 2024
| Notes receivable | Accounts receivable | Total | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beginning balance | $ 237 | $ 15,368 | $ 15,605 |
| Expected credit loss | 191 | 11,332 | 11,523 |
| Write-off | - | ( 312) | ( 312) |
| Ending balance | $ 428 | $ 26,388 | $ 26,816 |
v. The counterparties of the financial assets at amortised cost held by the Group are financial institutions with high credit quality, thus, the probability of default is remote and the credit risk is insignificant.
(c) Liquidity risk
i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group treasury. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's 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 on any of its borrowing facilities.
ii. Surplus cash held by the Group over and above balance required for working capital management are transferred to the Group treasury. Group treasury invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts, time deposits and marketable securities, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient headroom as determined by the abovementioned forecasts.
iii. The Group has the following undrawn borrowing facilities:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Floating rate: | ||
| Expiring within one year | $ 2,150,000 | $ 3,153,210 |
| Expiring beyond one year | 2,970 | 127,000 |
| $ 2,152,970 | $ 3,280,210 |
iv. The table below analyses the Group's non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date:
~80~
| December 31, 2025 | Within 1 year | Between 1 and 2 years | Between 2 and 5 years | Over 5 years |
|---|---|---|---|---|

| Guarantee deposits received | 8,962 | 20 | - | - |
| December 31, 2024 | Within 1 year | Between 1 and 2 years | Between 2 and 5 years | Over 5 years |
| Short-term borrowings | $ 111,227 | $ - | $ - | $ - |
| Notes payable | 360,766 | - | - | - |
| Accounts payable | 242,304 | - | - | - |

| Long-term borrowings | 62,853 | 62,821 | 26,169 | 97,945 |
| Guarantee deposits received | 8,535 | 237 | - | - |
v. For non-derivative financial liabilities, the Group does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated through the maturity date analysis will be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash flow amount will be significantly different.
(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. The fair value of the Group’s investment in beneficiary certificates and listed stocks is included.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Group’s investment in certain equity instruments without active market is included.
B. The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments not measured at fair value (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortised cost, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, guarantee deposits paid, short-term borrowings, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, long-term borrowings (including current portion) and guarantee deposits received) are approximate to their fair values.
C. The related information on financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets is as follows:
(a) The related information on the nature of the assets is as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recurring fair value measurements | ||||
| Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss | ||||
| Equity securities and beneficiary certificates | $ 101,432 | $ - | $ 11,653 | $ 113,085 |
| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income | ||||
| Equity securities | 308,505 | - | 108,017 | 416,522 |
| $ 409,937 | $ - | $ 119,670 | $ 529,607 | |
| December 31, 2024 | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
| Recurring fair value measurements | ||||
| Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss | ||||
| Equity securities and beneficiary certificates | $ 156,277 | $ - | $ 12,350 | $ 168,627 |
| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income | ||||
| Equity securities | 390,027 | - | 118,215 | 508,242 |
| $ 546,304 | $ - | $ 130,565 | $ 676,869 |
(b) The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:
i. The instruments that the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
| Market quoted price | Listed stocks | Open-end fund |
|---|---|---|
| Closing price | Net asset value |
ii. 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.
~81~
iii. The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be able to capture all relevant factors of the Group's financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, the estimated value derived using valuation model is adjusted accordingly with additional inputs, for example, model risk or liquidity risk and etc. In accordance with the Group's management policies and relevant control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on current market conditions.
D. There was no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 in 2025 and 2024.
E. The following table presents the changes in Level 3 instruments in 2025 and 2024:
| For the years ended December 31, | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| At January 1 | $ 130,565 | $ 120,696 |
| Purchase | 45,000 | 20,000 |
| Disposal | ( 47,828) | ( 1,181) |
| Recognised in profit or loss | 12,123 | ( 3,073) |
| Recognised in other comprehensive loss | ( 20,190) | ( 5,877) |
| At December 31 | $ 119,670 | $ 130,565 |
F. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, there was no transfer from or to Level 3.
G. Financial segment is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, performing back-testing, updating inputs used to the valuation model and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value.
~82~
H. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:
| Fair value at December 31, 2025 | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable input | Range (weighted average) | Relationship of inputs to fair value | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Non-derivative equity instrument: | |||||
| Unlisted stocks | $ 48,251 | Market comparable companies | Discount for lack of marketability | 30% | The higher the discount for lack of marketability, the lower the fair value |
| Unlisted stocks | 59,960 | Discounted cash flow | Weighted-average cost of capital | 8.32% ~ 15% | The higher the weighted-average cost of capital, the lower the fair value |
| Unlisted stocks | 11,459 | Net asset value | Not applicable | — | Not applicable |
| Fair value at December 31, 2024 | Valuation technique | Significant unobservable input | Range (weighted average) | Relationship of inputs to fair value | |
| Non-derivative equity instrument: | |||||
| Unlisted stocks | $ 92,873 | Market comparable companies | Discount for lack of marketability | 30% | The higher the discount for lack of marketability, the lower the fair value |
| Unlisted stocks | 22,180 | Discounted cash flow | Weighted-average cost of capital | 15% | The higher the weighted-average cost of capital, the lower the fair value |
| Unlisted stocks | 15,512 | Net asset value | Not applicable | — | Not applicable |
I. The Group has carefully assessed the valuation models and assumptions used to measure fair value; therefore, the fair value measurement is reasonable. However, use of different valuation models or assumptions may result in different measurement. The following is the effect on profit or loss or on other comprehensive income from financial assets categorised within Level 3 if the inputs used to valuation models have changed:
| Input | Change | December 31, 2025 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Recognised in profit or loss | Recognised in other comprehensive income | |||||
| Favourable change | Unfavourable change | Favourable change | Unfavourable change | |||
