  • 1 -

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders of

Sinphar Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Sinphar Pharmaceutical Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheet as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompany parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31,2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in accordance with the Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulation Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are stated as follows:

Inventory Valuation

Please refer to Note 4(7.) and 5(2.) in the accompanying parent company only financial statements for related disclosures of the Company’s valuation of inventory accounting policies and critical accounting estimate and assumption.

  • 2 -

The Company mainly engages in the production and sales of various types of drugs and food supplements. As the regulations to the pharmaceutical industry cause the cost to increase and meanwhile selling prices are less likely to be affected as they are covered by the health insurance system. Furthermore, the price of food supplement inventory fluctuates due to market competition and the impacts aroused from advertisements. Management assesses that the net realizable value of inventory involves material judgment. Hence, it is taken as a one of the key audit matters.

Our key audit procedures in response

Our procedures in relation to inventory valuation included:

  1. Understand and evaluate the design and implementation of the internal control in relation to inventory.

  2. Perform inventory counts, to identify if there are any inventories which are obsolete or damaged.

  3. Obtain Inventory aging reports to analyses the changes in inventory age, and check the records of inventory changes to verify the correctness of inventory.

  4. Evaluate the reasonableness of its inventory valuation policy of unmarketable items and obsolescence, and check the latest inventory sales price to evaluate the reasonableness of the net realizable value of the inventory.

  5. Obtain evaluation documents for subsequent measurement of inventories and assess whether they have been measured in accordance with established accounting policies and review if the management’s disclosure on the evaluation of inventory is presented fairly.

Revenue Recognition

Please refer to Note 4(16.) and 5(2.) in the accompanying parent company only financial statements for related disclosures of the Company’s revenue recognition accounting policies and critical accounting estimate and assumption.

Some products of the Company provide discounts or sales incentives based on the terms of the sales contract. Since the recognition of the revenue is measured on the net basis of the related discounts and incentives, we consider the revenue recognition as a key audit matter.

Our key audit procedures in response

Our procedures in relation to the revenue recognition included:

  1. Evaluate the design and implementation of the internal control in relation to the revenue recognition.

  2. Perform sales contract checks to verify whether the records on the recognition of sales revenue agree with the related contract, and evaluate the fairness of the management’s estimated sales discounts and sales incentives.

  3. Assess whether the management’s accounting treatments and disclosure in relation to sales discounts and sales incentives are presented fairly.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

  • 3 -

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing as applicable matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operation, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards 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 parent company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

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

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

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosure 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investee accounted for using equity method within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for direction, supervision and performance of the investee audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

  7. 4 -

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Ya Quan Zhang and Jin Shu Pan.

  • Note 1: An entity shall apply these amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

  • Note 2: These amendments apply to changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies that occur during annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

  • Note 3: An entity shall apply the amendments to transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. It also, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, recognizes deferred taxes for all temporary differences related to leases and decommissioning obligations and recognizes the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at that date.

  • 10 -

  • Note 4: As a temporary exception under IAS 12, an entity shall not recognize deferred income tax assets and liabilities assoicated with Pillar 2 income tax, nor shall it disclose the related information. However, the entity shall disclose in its financial report that it has already applied this exception. An entity shall apply this part of the amendment retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 since the date that the amendments were issued (i.e. May 23, 2023). An entity shall apply the remaining disclosure requirements for the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and needs not to disclose such information in its interim reports with a reporting date ending before or on December 31, 2023.

  • A.Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosures of Accounting Policies”

The amendments clarify that an entity shall disclose its material significant accounting policy information if the transaction, other event or condition to which the accounting policy information relates is material in size or nature, or a combination of both, and the accounting policy information that relates to a material transaction, other event or condition is also material to the financial statements. On the other hand, if the transaction, other event or condition to which the accounting policy information relates is immaterial in size or nature, an entity needs not to disclosure the accounting policy information that relates to the immaterial transaction, other event or condition. Additionally, Immaterial accounting policy information that relates to material transactions, other events or conditions need not be disclosed, either. However, an entity’s conclusion that accounting policy information is immaterial does not affect the related disclosure requirements set out in other IFRS Standards.

  • B.Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”

The amendments define accounting estimates as monetary amounts in financial statements that are subject to measurement uncertainty and clarify that a change in measurement techniques or inputs used to develop an accounting estimate is a change in accounting estimates unless the change is due to an error from prior periods.

  • C.Amendments to IAS 12 “Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction”

The amendments narrow the exemption extent in paragraphs 15 and 24 of IAS 12 for an entity from recognizing a deferred tax asset or liability in particular circumstances. In particular, the exemption does not apply to a transaction that gives rise to equal taxable and deductible difference at the time of the transaction. At the initial application of the amendments, an entity shall, at the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented, recognise deferred taxes for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with (i) lease and (ii) decommissioning liabilities and recognise the cumulative effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings (or other component of equity, as appropriate) at that date. An entity shall also apply the amendments transactions that occur on or after the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented. When initially applying the amendments, the information for comparable periods shall be restated.

  • (2) The IFRSs issued by International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) and endorsed by FSC with effective date starting 2024

New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC and effective from 2024 are as follows:

New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC and effective from 2024 are as follows:
New Standards,Interpretations and Amendments

or Non-current”
Amendments to IAS 1 “Non-current Liabilities with

  • Note 1: The seller-lessee shall apply the amendments retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 for the sale and leaseback transactions made after the initial application of IFRS 16.

  • Note 2: The amendment provides certain transitional reliefs. When initially appling the amendment, entities are not required to disclose comparative information and interim period information, as well as opening information required by paragraph 44H(b)(ii)-(iii).

  • A.Amendments to IFRS 16 “Lease liability in a sale and leaseback”

The amendment clarifies that for a sale and leaseback transaction, if the transfer of the asset is treated as a sale in accordance with IFRS 15, the liabilities incurred by the seller-lessee due to the leaseback should be treated in accordance with the IFRS 16. Moreover, if any variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are involved, the seller-lessee should still determine and recognize the lease liability arising from such variable payments in a manner that does not recognize gains and losses related to the retained right of use. The difference between the subsequent actual lease payment amount and the reduced carrying amount of the lease liability is recognized in profit or loss.

B.Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current”

The amendments clarify that when an entity determines whether a liability is classified as non-current, the entity should assess whether it has the right to defer the settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period. If the entity has that right on the end of reporting period, that liability must be classified as non-current regardless whether the entity expects whether to exercise the right or not. If the entity must follow certain conditions to have the right to defer the settlement of a liability, the entity must have followed those conditions at the end of reporting period in order to have that right, even if the lender tests the entity’s compliance on a later date.

The aforementioned settlement means transferring cash, other economic resources or the entity’s equity instruments to the counter-party to extinguish the liability. If the terms of the liability give the counter-party an option to extinguish the liability by the entity’s equity instruments, and this option is recognized separately in equity in accordance with IAS 32 “Financial Instruments: Presentation”, then the classification of the liability will not be affected.

  • C.Amendment to IAS 1 “Non-current Liabilities with Covenants”

This amendment further clarifies that only contractual terms that are required to be complied with before the end of the reporting period will affect the classification of the liability at that date. The contractual terms that required to be complied with within 12 months after the reporting period do not affect the classification of liabilities at the reporting date. However, for liabilities classified as non-current and must be repaid within 12 months after the reporting period due to potential non-compliance, the relevant facts and circumstances should be disclosed.

  • 12 -

D.Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 “Supplier finance arrangements”

Supplier financing arrangements involve one or more financing providers making payments to suppliers on behalf of an entity, and the entity agrees to repay the financing providers on the payment date agreed with the suppliers or a later date. The amendments to IAS 7 require an entity to disclose information on its supplier financing arrangements to enable users of financial statements to assess the impact of these arrangements on the entity's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity. The amendments to IFRS 7 include into its application guidance that when disclosing how an entity manages the liquidity risk of its financial liabilities, it may also consider whether it has obtained or can obtain financing facilities through supplier financing arrangements, and whether these arrangements may cause concentration of liquidity risk.

Based on the Company’s assessment, the application of the New IFRSs above will not have any significant impact on the Company’s financial position and financial performance.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The main accounting policies used in the preparation of the parent company only financial statements are explained below. Unless otherwise stated, these policies apply consistently throughout all reporting periods.

  • (1.) Statement of Compliance

The accompanying parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs endorsed by the FSC.

  • (2.) Basis of Preparation of the Parent Company Only Financial Statement

  • A. Except for the following items, the accompanying parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis:

    • (A.) The financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value through profit and loss (including derivative financial instruments).

    • (B.) The financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

    • (C.) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

  • 13 -

  • B. The preparation of the parent company only financial statements in compliance with IFRSs endorsed by FSC requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a high degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the parent company only financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

  • C. The subsidiaries, associates and jointly controlled entities are incorporated in the parent company only financial statements under the equity method.

  • (3.) Foreign Currencies

  • A. Foreign currency transaction

Transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions. At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period. Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated. Except for financial instruments at FVTOCI, financial instruments that are designated as foreign operation net hedge or qualified as cash flow hedge, the retranslation foreign exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. In other cases, the exchange differences are recognized in profit and loss.

  • B. Translation of foreign operation

For the purpose of preparing parent company only financial statements, the functional currencies of the Company and the foreign entities (including subsidiaries, associates, joint ventures and branches in other countries that use currency different from the currency of the Company) are translated into the presentation currency - the New Taiwan dollar as follows: assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; profits and losses items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

On the disposal of a foreign operation involving the loss of control, joint venture or significant influence over the foreign operation, all of the exchange differences accumulated in equity in respect of that operation are reclassified to profit or loss.

In relation to a partial disposal of a subsidiary that does not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiary, the proportionate share of accumulated exchange differences is re-attributed to the non-controlling interests of the subsidiary and is not recognized in profit or loss. For all other partial disposals, the proportionate share of the accumulated exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

(4.) Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities

  • A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets:

  • (A.) Assets expected to be realized or intended to be sold or used within normal operating cycle;

  • (B.) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • 14 -

  • (C.) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and

  • (D.) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Assets that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

  • B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities:

  • (A.) Liabilities expected to be paid off within normal operating cycle;

  • (B.) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • (C.) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period (It is still a current liability even if a long-term refinancing or rearrangement of payment agreement is completed after the balance sheet date and before the financial report is approved,); and

  • (D.) Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

Liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

  • (5.) Cash and Cash Equivalent

Cash and cash equivalent includes cash on hand, bank deposit and short-term, highly liquid investment that are readily convertible to know amount of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. Time deposits with original maturities within 1 year from the closing date that meet the definition above and are held for purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalent.

  • (6.) Financial Instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in balance sheets when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

A. Financial assets

  • (A.) Measurement category

The Company adopts trade-date accounting to recognize financial assets.

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost, and equity investments at FVTOCI.

a. Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial asset is classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is mandatorily classified or designated as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL including equity investments not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the criteria of amortized cost or the FVTOCI.

  • 15 -

Financial assets at FVTPL are initially and subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising from remeasurement recognized in other gains or losses income. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 12(3).

  • b. Equity investment at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.

Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, they will be transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company’s right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.

  • c. Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

  • (a.) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • (b.) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets measured at amortized cost are measured at carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest revenue is calculated by using the effective interest method. This is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for:

  • (a.) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for those financial assets, the Company applies the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from initial recognition.

  • (b.) Financial assets that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets but subsequently have become credit-impaired financial assets, for those financial assets, the Company applies the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset in subsequent reporting periods.

  • (B.) Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses (“ECL”) on financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable).

The loss allowance for accounts receivable is measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. For other financial assets, when the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to 12-month ECL. If there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.

  • 16 -

ECL reflects the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

The Company recognizes an impairment loss for aforementioned financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

  • (C.) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:

  • a. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

  • b. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.

  • c. The Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset.

The difference between the book value and the price of financial assets at amortized cost will be recognized to profit or loss on disposal of the financial assets. The cumulative gain or loss of the investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments. Instead, they will be transferred to retained earnings.

  • B. Financial liabilities

  • (A.) Subsequent measurement

Except for the following, financial liabilities measured at amortized cost are measured using the effective interest rate method after initial recognition.

  • a. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are financial liabilities held for trading or financial liabilities designated upon initial recognition as at FVTPL. Repurchase currently and the derivative financial instruments unless financial guarantee contract and designated and effective as a hedging instrument, are classified financial liabilities held for trading. The Company designates the financial liabilities upon initial recognition as at FVTPL when the financial liabilities accord to one of the followings:

  • (a.) They are hybrid (combined) contracts containing at least an embedded derivaties and the host contract is an asset not within the scope of IFRS 9; or

  • (b.) Eliminates or significantly reduces measurement or recognition; or

  • (c.) A tool to manage and evaluate its performance on a fair value basis in accordance with a written risk management policy.

  • b. Financial liabilities at FVTPL are stated at fair value upon initial recognition, related transaction costs and any gain or loss arising on remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss.

  • c. A financial liabilities that designated as financial liabilities measured at FVTPL, which amount of change in fair value resulting from a change in credit risk, is recognized as other comprehensive income, and that will not be reclassified subsequently to profit or loss. The amount of the remaining fair value change in the liability is reported in the profit and loss. However, if the aforementioned accounting treatment triggers or exacerbates the improper accounting ratio, the full profits or losses of the liability are reported in the profit or loss.

  • 17 -

(B.) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged, cancelled or expires. When derecognition of financial liabilities, the difference in the respective carrying amounts and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, are recognized in profit or loss.

C. Modification of Financial Instruments

When the contractual cash flows of a financial instrument are renegotiated or modified and the renegotiation or modification does not result in the derecognition of that financial instrument, the Company recalculates the gross carrying amount of the financial asset or the amortized cost of the financial liabilities using the original effective interest rate and recognises a modification gain or loss in profit or loss. Any costs or fees incurred adjust the carrying amount of the modified financial instrument and are amortised over the remaining term of the modified financial instrument. If the renegotiation or modification results in that the derecognition of that financial instrument is required, then the financial instrument is derecognized accordingly.

If the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of a financial asset or financial liability changes resulting from interest rate benchmark reform and the change is necessary as a direct consequence of interest rate benchmark reform and the new basis for determining the contractual cash flows is economically equivalent to the previous basis, the Company applies the practical expedient to account for that change as a change in effective interest rate. If changes are made to a financial asset or financial liability in addition to changes to the basis for determining the contractual cash flows required by interest rate benchmark reform, the Company first applies the practical expedient aforementioned to the changes required by interest rate benchmark reform, and then applies the applicable requirements to any additional changes to which that practical expedient does not apply.

(7.) Inventories

Inventories, under a perpetual system, are measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity), excluding 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 applicable variable selling expenses.

(8.) Investments Accounted for Using Equity Method

Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method. A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company.

Under the equity method, an investment in subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiary as well as the distribution received. The Company also recognized its share in change in the equity of subsidiaries.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Company losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the carrying amount of the subsidiary and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

When the Company’s share of losses of a subsidiary equal or exceed its interest in that subsidiary (which includes any carrying amount of the investment in subsidiary accounted for by the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company’s net investment in the subsidiary), the Company continues recognizing its share of further losses.

  • 18 -

When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, and retained investment of the former subsidiary is measured at fair value at that date. A gain of loss is recognized in profit or loss and calculated as the difference between 1) the aggregate of the fair value of consideration received and the fair value of any retained interest at the date when control is lost; and 2) the previous carrying amount of the investments in such subsidiary. In addition, the Company shall account for all amount previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the subsidiary had directly disposed of the related assets and liabilities.

When the Company transacts with its subsidiaries, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the subsidiaries are recognized in the Company’s parent company only financial statements only to the extent of interest in the subsidiaries that are not owned by the Company.

(9.) Property, Plant and Equipment

  • A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized. For property, plant and equipment under construction, sample produced from testing whether the asset is functioning properly before its intended use are measured at lower of the costs or net realizable value. Proceeds from selling such an item and the cost of the item are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 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 Company and the cost of the item can be reliably measured. The carrying amount of the replaced component is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance expense are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  • C. Except for land, which is not depreciated, other items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, the depreciable amount shall be allocated by the straight-line method over its useful life. Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at the end of each reporting period. 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 accounting 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:

Buildings: 5~55 Years

Machinery: 1~10 Years

Transportation: 5~8 Years

Office Equipment: 1~15 Years

Other Equipment: 1~10 Years

  • D. If an item of property, plant and equipment or any significant component is disposed or there is no future economic benefit flow to the Company, the carrying amount is derecognized in profit and loss. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment shall be determined as the difference between the net disposal proceeds, if any, and the carrying amount of the item, and it shall be recognized in profit and loss.

  • 19 -

(10.) Investment properties

Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation (including property under construction for such purposes) and include land held for a currently undetermined future use.

Owned investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs, and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. All investment properties are depreciated using the straight-line method.

On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

(11.) Intangible Assets

  • A. Intangible assets acquired separately (with finite useful lives)

Intangible assets acquired from government grants are measured at fair value. Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis as follow.

  • (A.)Computer Software:1~10 Years

  • (B.)Technology:10 Years

  • (C.)License: The duration of patent right and the duration of the contract whichever is shorter

The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization period and method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

  • B. Internally-generated intangible assets - research and development expenditure

  • (A.) Expenditure on research activities is recognized as an expense in the period in which it is incurred except for the goodwill or intangible assets from business combination.

  • (B.) An internally-generated intangible asset arising from the development phase of an internal project is recognized if, and only if, all of the following conditions have been demonstrated:

    • a. The technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale;

    • b. The intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it;

    • c. The ability to use or sell the intangible asset;

    • d. When the intangible asset could generate probable future economic benefits;

    • e. The availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and to use or sell the intangible asset; and

    • f. The ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development.

  • (C.) Capitalized intangible assets in development phase are stated at cost, less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are not amortizable.

  • (D.) The assessment of intangible assets with indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the useful lives of intangible asset with indefinite life continues to be with indefinite life. If not, the change in useful life from infinite to finite is recorded as change in accounting estimate.

  • 20 -

C. Disposal of the assets

Any gain or loss arising from the disposal of the assets is determined as the difference between the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (12.) Impairment of Non-Financial Assets

The Company assesses at the end of reporting period 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 and its value in use. When the indication of impairment loss recognized in prior years for an asset other than goodwill no longer exists, the impairment loss is reversed to the extent of the loss previously recognized in profit or loss.

Goodwill, intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and recognize impairment loss if the carrying amount less than the recoverable amount. Goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods.

(13.) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation from 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. The discount rate shall be a pre-tax rate that reflect current market assessment of the time value and the risk specific to the liability. Where discounting is used, the carrying amount of a provision increases in each period to reflect the passage of time. This increase is recognised as interest expense. Future operating loss is not recognized as provisions.

  • (14.) 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.

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

  • D. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences, unused loss carry forward and unused tax credits are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

  • E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported at the end of the reporting period 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.

  1. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the management is required to make judgments, estimations, and assumptions about the uncertain situation. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company considers the economic implications of the changes in climates and related governmental policies and regulations, the conflicts between Ukraine and Russia as well as related international sanctions, inflation and volatility in interest rate when making its critical accounting estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods.

In the preparation of the parent company only financial statements, the critical accounting judgments the Company has made and the major sources of estimation and assumption uncertainty are described as follows:

  • A. Critical judgements in applying accounting policies

Business model assessment for financial assets

The Company determines the business model at a level that reflects how companys of financial assets are managed together to achieve a particular business objective. This assessment involves judgment and consideration of all relevant evidence, such as how the performance of the assets is evaluated, the risks that affect the performance of the assets, and how the managers of the assets are compensated. The Company constantly assess the adequacy of its business model and monitors financial assets measured at amortized cost and debt investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. When these assets are derecognized prior to their maturity, the Company reviews the reasons for their disposal and whether the reasons are consistent with the objective of the business for which the assets were held. If the objective of the business for an asset is changed, the classification of the asset is prospectively changed from the reclassification date.

  • B. Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

(A.)Revenue Recognition

Sales revenue, excluding related estimated sales returns, discounts and other similar allowance, is recognized when the control of goods or services is transferred to the customer and the Company satisfies it performance obligation. The Company estimates sales returns and allowance based on historical experience and other known factors. The Company assesses the reasonableness of the estimates periodically.

(B.)Estimated impairment of financial assets

The provision for impairment of accounts receivables, debt investments, and financial guarantee contracts is based on assumptions on default risk and expected loss rates. The Company makes these assumptions and selects inputs for impairment calculation based on the Company’s historical experience and existing market conditions, as well as forward looking information. If the future cash inflows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. Please refer to Note 6(5.)for the assumption and input data.

  • 24 -

(C.)Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Company must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. The Company evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value. The management considers current market and historical experience on sperific future product demand for evaluation basis, and charge of these factors may significantly affect the results.

(D.)The useful life of property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are amortized on a straight-line basis, and the Company periodically evaluates the useful life and residual value of property, plant and equipment. If there is a significant change in the relevant estimates, it will be adjusted in the current period of the change and in subsequent years.

(E.)Realisability of deferred tax assets

Deferred tax assets are recognised to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which the deferred tax asset can be utilised. If future generated profit less than expected, there would be significant reversed of deferred tax assets recognized as profit and loss when occured.

  • 31 -

  • B. NT$22,000 thousand and NT$19,435 thousand were contributed by the Company for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

Defined benefit plan

The Company and its domestic subsidiaries have defined benefit pension plans in accordance with the Labor Standards Law of the R.O.C. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The Company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited in Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. The Company would assess as the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by the end of each year. If the account balance is not enough to pay the pension to the labors expected to be qualified for retirement in the next year, the Company will make contribution for the deficit by next March. The pension fund is managed by the government’s designated authorities and the Company has no right to influence their investment strategies.

  • D. Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:

(A.)Investment risk

The pension funds are invested in equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. at the discretion of the Bureau of Labor Funds of Ministry of Labor, or under the mandated management. However, under the Labor Standards Law, the rate of return on plan assets shall not be less than the average interest rate on a two-year time deposit published by the local banks.

(B.)Interest risk

A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the debt investments of the plan assets.

(C.)Salary risk

The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

  • 33 -

E. The main actuarial assumptions used were as follows:

Discount rate 1.20% 1.30%
Expected rate of salaryincrease 1.50% 1.50%
The weighted average duration of the

  • (A.) Assumptions on future mortality experience are set based on the 6th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table (TSO).

  • (B.) The sensitivity analysis:

If significant actuarial assumptions change reasonably and all other assumptions are held constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation may increase(decrease) as below:

  • 47 -

  • (a.) Sensitivity analysis: Fair value interest rate risk

The Company did not designate any fixed interest rate financial instruments as fair value through profit or loss and derivatives instruments (interest rate swaps) to hedge its exposures to changes in fair values. As such, changes in interest rate would not affect the net income and the other comprehensive income at the end of the reporting period.

  • (b.) Sensitivity analysis: Cash flow interest rate risk

The Company’s financial instruments at floating interest rate were assets (liabilities) at floating interest rate. Therefore, changes in interest rate would affect the future cash flows. Assuming a hypothetical increase/decrease 1% in interest rates, the net income for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 would increase/decrease by NT$ 13,462 thousand and NT$ 11,995 thousand, respectively.

(B) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial losses to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from operating activities, primarily from account receivables, and from investing activities, primarily from bank deposits, fixed-income investments and other financial instruments. The Company managed the credit risk separately for business related and financial related risk.

  • D. Valuation techniques and assumptions used in fair value measurement

  • (A.) If there is an active market for the financial instruments, the fair value of the financial instruments is measured by using the quoted market prices. The quoted market prices announced by the main market place and the prices of government bonds classified as popular securities announced by Taipei Exchange (TPEx) are deemed as fair value foundation of publicly traded equity instruments and debt instruments with an active market.

If there are timely and frequent quoted prices from the exchange market, the broker, the dealer, industry association, price service organization, or the administrative, and the prices represent actual, frequent, and fair trades, the financial instruments are deemed as with an active market. Otherwise, the market is deemed as not active. In general, huge price gap, price gap apparently expanding, and small trading volume were indicators of a not active market.

  • (B.) Except for the aforementioned financial instruments with active market, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by valuation technique or quotation of counterparties. The fair value from valuation technique could refer to the fair value of other financial instruments with similar substantial conditions and characteristics, discounted cash flow method and other valuation technique including model with observable market information on balance sheet date (e.g. yield curve of TPEx, quoted interest rate of Reuters commercial Note).

The fair values of non-listed equity investments were Level 3 fair value assets, and determined using the market approach by reference the peer companies valuation, third party quotation, net value and operation status. The significant unobservable input used was discount for lack of marketability. A movement in discount for the lack of marketability would not result in significant changes in the fair values.

  • 51 -

  • (C.) The Company considered the credit risk evaluation adjustment for financial instruments and non-financial instruments to reflect the credit risk of the counterparty and the credit quality of the Company.

  • (D.) Valuation techniques used in Level 3 fair value Measurement:

The evaluation procedure of the financial instruments belong to Level 3 is verified by the financial department of the Company through verifying the independent source inputs to make sure the evaluation results closing to the market status. To make sure the reasonability of the evaluation results, the financial department verify the independence and reliability of source data, test and renew the input data, model and other necessary inputs.

  - (E.) There were no transfers between different fair value hierarchy for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
