Independent Auditors’ Report (2023) Letter Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi No. 22004861
To SOLOMON Technology Corporation:
Audit Opinions
We audited the parent-only balance sheets of SOLOMON Technology Corporation as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, its parent-only statements of comprehensive income, parent-only statements of changes in equity and parent-only statements of cash flows for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the notes to the parent-only financial statements (including the summary of material accounting policies).
In our opinion, based on our audit results and other independent auditors’ reports (Please refer to Other Matters paragraphs), with respect to all material aspects, the foregoing parentonly financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and thus provided a fair presentation of the parent-only financial positions of SOLOMON Technology Corporation on December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the parent-only financial performance and cash flows for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021.
Basis for Audit Opinions
We conducted the audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under such standards are further described in the paragraph of “Responsibilities of CPAs for the Audit of Parent-only Financial Statements.” As CPAs who are subject to independence requirements, we have, in accordance with the Standards of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China, remained independent from SOLOMON Technology Corporation and fulfilled all other responsibilities under the requirements. According to our audit results and other independent auditors’ reports, we believe that we have acquired sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis of our audit opinions.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in the audit of the parent-only financial statements of SOLOMON Technology Corporation for 2022. Such matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parentonly financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinions thereon, we have not provided any separate opinions on these matters.
~4~
The key audit matters for SOLOMON Technology Corporation’s parent-only financial statements for 2022 are described as follows:
Impairment Assessment of Accounts Receivable
Matter description
Please refer to Notes 4 (8) and 4 (9) to the parent-only financial statements for the accounting policies for accounts receivable and impairments. Please refer to Note 5 (2) to the parent-only financial statements for the uncertainty of important judgments, accounting estimates and assumptions for the accounting policies adopted for the valuation of accounts receivable. Please refer to Note 6 (4) to the parent-only financial statements for the description of the accounts receivable account. SOLOMON Technology Corporation’s accounts receivable and loss allowance as of December 31, 2022, were NT$241,856 thousand and NT$1,191 thousand, respectively.
SOLOMON Technology Corporation collected payments over the loan period set based on the individual customers’ credit quality under the credit standard and regularly reviewed the reasonableness of estimated losses. The loss allowance was based on the estimated irrecoverable amount of expected credit losses which involved the subjective judgment of the management. Therefore, we deem the assessment of loss allowance for accounts receivable to be one of the most important matters in our audit.
Responsive audit procedures
The responsive procedures that we implemented are listed as follows:
-
Reviewing and assessing the assumption factors for expected credit losses adopted by SOLOMON Technology Corporation; the process involved assessing the reasonableness of the determination of aging ranges. Randomly auditing source documents to check their accuracy based on the aging schedule and randomly auditing loan conditions to verify the reasonableness of the account receivable age. Conducting a review to see if there were uncovered accounts receivable that had not been settled for a long period of time in order to determine if the loss allowance for accounts receivable was sufficient.
-
Understanding the reason for failure to collect material accounts receivable after the normal loan period expired or reviewing the subsequent collection of the accounts receivable.
Assessment of Allowance for Inventory Devaluation Losses
Matter description
Please refer to Note 4 (12) to the parent-only financial statements for the accounting policies for inventory valuation. Please refer to Note 5 (2) to the parent-only financial statements for the uncertainty of important judgments, accounting estimates and assumptions for the accounting policies adopted for inventory valuation. Please refer to Note 6 (5) to the parent-only financial statements for the description of the inventory account. SOLOMON Technology Corporation’s inventory and allowance for devaluation losses as of December 31, 2022, were NT$807,973 thousand and NT$19,671 thousand, respectively.
SOLOMON Technology Corporation is mainly engaged in the sale of generators,
~5~
automatic parts and components and LCDs. As the life cycle of electronic products is short and there is fierce competition in the market, there is a higher risk of inventory devaluation losses or obsolescence. SOLOMON Technology Corporation’s inventory was measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. As the inventory amount was material with plenty of items and the accounting estimate relied on the subjective judgment of the management, we deem the valuation of allowance for inventory devaluation losses to be one of the most important matters in our audit.
Responsive audit procedures
The responsive procedures that we implemented are listed as follows:
-
Assessing the consistency of SOLOMON Technology Corporation’s adoption of policies for allowance for inventory devaluation losses throughout the comparative financial statement period according to our understanding of its business and the industry that it is in and performing an assessment to check the reasonableness of the net realizable value determined by the management.
-
Understanding SOLOMON Technology Corporation’s inventory management procedure, reviewing its annual inventory plan and participating in its annual inventory to assess the effectiveness of the management’s separation and control of obsolete inventory.
-
Verifying the appropriateness of the logic of the inventory aging reporting system used by the management for valuation to make sure the information in the financial statements was consistent with SOLOMON Technology Corporation’s policies for allowance for inventory devaluation losses.
-
Testing the carrying value of inventory at the end of the period and conducting a random check to confirm the accuracy of the selling price and sales expense rate used to calculate the net realizable value and the correctness of the net realizable value.
- Reference to the Audits of Other CPAs
The financial statements of the investee companies accounted for using the equity method in the parent-only financial statements of SOLOMON Technology Corporation were audited by other CPAs instead of us. Therefore, our opinions expressed on the foregoing parent-only financial statements with respect to the amounts in the financial statements of such companies were based on the CPAs’ reports. The investments in the aforesaid investee companies accounted for using the equity method as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, amounted to NT$255,674 thousand and NT$186,840 thousand, respectively, accounting for 3.78% and 2.91% of the total consolidated assets. The comprehensive income recognized with respect to the said companies for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021, amounted to NT$(42,235) thousand and NT$(21,629) thousand, respectively, accounting for (8.56%) and (11.54%) of the total consolidated comprehensive income.
Responsibilities of the Management and Governance Unit for the Parentonly Financial Statements
The management was responsible for preparing the parent-only financial statements with
~6~
fair presentation in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and maintaining the necessary internal control related to preparation of the parent-only financial statements to ensure that the parent-only financial statements were free of material misstatements due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent-only financial statements, the management was also responsible for evaluating SOLOMON Technology Corporation’s going concern ability, disclosure of relevant matters and use of the going concern basis of accounting, unless the management intended to liquidate or cease the operations of SOLOMON Technology Corporation, or there were no other actual feasible solutions other than liquidation or cessation of operations.
The governance unit of SOLOMON Technology Corporation was responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.
Responsibilities of CPAs for the Audit of the Parent-only Financial Statements
The purpose of our audit of the parent-only financial statements was to obtain reasonable assurance about whether or not the parent-only financial statements were free of material misstatements due to fraud or error, with an audit report issued thereafter. Reasonable assurance means a high degree of assurance. However, there was no guarantee that any material misstatement contained in the parent-only financial statements could be discovered during the audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards in the Republic of China. A misstatement may be due to fraud or error. A misstatement was deemed material if the individual or aggregate amount misstated was reasonably expected to affect the economic decisions made by the users of the parent-only financial statements.
We relied on our professional judgment and maintained our professional skepticism during the audit conducted pursuant to the auditing standards in the Republic of China. We also performed the following tasks:
-
Identifying and assessing the risk of misstatements in the parent-only financial statements due to fraud or error; designing and implementing appropriate measures in response to the assessed risk; and acquiring sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis of our audit opinions. Since fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, fraudulent statement or violation of internal control, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error.
-
Acquiring necessary understanding of the internal control related to the audit to design audit procedures appropriate for the current circumstances, provided that the purpose of the foregoing was not to express opinions regarding the effectiveness of the internal control of SOLOMON Technology Corporation.
-
Assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policies adopted by the management and the reasonableness of the accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by the management.
-
Drawing a conclusion about the appropriateness of the management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and whether or not there was material uncertainty in an event or
~7~
circumstance which might cast significant doubt about the ability of SOLOMON Technology Corporation to remain as a going concern. If any material uncertainty was deemed to exist in such event or circumstance, we must provide a reminder in the audit report for the users of the parent-only financial statements to pay attention to the relevant disclosures therein or revise our audit opinions when any such disclosure was inappropriate. Our conclusion was based on the audit evidence obtained as of the date of this audit report. However, future events or circumstances could result in a situation where SOLOMON Technology Corporation is no longer able to remain as a going concern.
-
Assessing the overall presentation, structure and contents of the parent-only financial statements (including relevant notes) and whether or not the parent-only financial statements provided a fair presentation of the relevant transactions and events.
-
Acquiring sufficient and appropriate audit evidence of the financial information of the entities forming SOLOMON Technology Corporation to provide opinions regarding the parent-only financial statements. We are responsible for guidance, supervision and implementation in relation to SOLOMON Technology Corporation’s audit cases and for the formation of audit opinions for the parent-only financial statements.
The matters for which we communicated with the governance unit include the planned scope and time of the audit and our material audit findings (including significant internal control deficiencies identified during the audit).
We also provided a declaration to the governance unit stating that as CPAs who are subject to independence requirements, we have complied with the independence requirements in the Standards of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China. We also communicated with the governance unit regarding all relationships and other matters (including relevant safeguard measures) which were deemed likely to affect the independence of CPAs.
The key audit matters in the audit of the parent-only financial statements of SOLOMON Technology Corporation for 2022 were determined by us from the matters regarding which we communicated with the governance unit. We shall specify such matters in the audit report, except where public disclosure of certain matters is prohibited by applicable laws or regulations or where, under very exceptional circumstances, we have decided not to communicate certain matters in the audit report due to the reasonable expectation that any negative effect arising from such communication would be greater than the public interest enhanced.

4. Summary of material accounting policies
For the convenience of readers, the independent auditors’ report and the accompanying parent company only financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the R.O.C. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese - language independent auditors’ report and parent company only financial statements shall prevail.
The main accounting policies used for preparing the parent-only financial statements are described as follows. Unless otherwise specified, such policies are consistently applicable to all reporting periods.
- (1) Statement of compliance
The parent-only financial statements were prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
~18~
-
(2) Basis of preparation
-
A. The parent-only financial statements were prepared on the basis of historical cost, except for the key items listed below:
-
(A) Financial assets and liabilities (including derivatives) measured at fair value through profit or loss, measured at fair value.
-
(B) Defined benefit liabilities recognized as the net amount calculated as pension fund assets less the present value of defined benefit obligations.
-
-
B. Preparing financial statements in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, interpretations and pronouncements of interpretation (hereinafter collectively referred to as IFRSs) requires the use of some important accounting estimates. During the adoption of the Company’s accounting policies, the management needs to rely on their judgment when it comes to items that require demanding judgments, are highly complex or involve material assumptions and estimates in parent-only financial statements. For details, please refer to the description in Note 5.
-
(3) Foreign currency translation
The parent-only financial statements use the Company’s functional currency, “NT dollars,” as the presentation currency.
-
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(A) Foreign currencies in foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency based on the spot exchange rate on the transaction or measurement date. The translation difference generated by the translation is recognized as profit or loss in the current period.
-
(B) Valuation adjustments are made to the balance of monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities based on the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The translation difference generated by the adjustments is recognized as profit or loss in the current period.
-
(C) If the balance of non-monetary foreign currency assets and liabilities is measured at fair value through profit or loss, valuation adjustments are made based on the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The exchange difference generated by the adjustments is recognized as profit or loss in the current period. If the balance is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, valuation adjustments are made based on the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date. The exchange difference generated by the adjustments is recognized as other comprehensive income in the current period. If the balance is not measured at fair value, it is measured at the historical exchange rate on the initial transaction date.
-
(D) All exchange differences are recognized as “other profits and losses” in the income statement based on the nature of transaction.
-
B. Translation of foreign operations
-
(A) The business results and financial position of all the entities and associates whose functional currency and presentation currency are different are translated into the presentation currency using the following methods:
- a. Assets and liabilities presented in each balance sheet are translated at the closing rate on the balance sheet date;
~19~
- b. Profits and losses presented in each statement of comprehensive income are translated at the average exchange rate in the current period; and
- c. All exchange differences generated from translation are recognized as other comprehensive income.
- (B) When a foreign operation that is partially disposed of or sold is an associate, the exchange difference recognized as other comprehensive income is reclassified proportionally to profit or loss in the current period as part of gains or losses on sale. However, when the Company retains partial interest in the former foreign associate after losing significant influence over it, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
- (C) When a foreign operation that is partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, the accumulated exchange difference recognized as other comprehensive income is reattributed proportionally to the non-controlling interests of the foreign operation. However, when the Company retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control over it, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
-
(4) Criteria for classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
-
A. Assets that match any of the following conditions shall be classified as current assets:
-
(A) The asset is expected to be realized or is intended to be sold or depleted over normal business cycles.
-
(B) The asset is held primarily for the purpose of trading.
-
(C) The asset is expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
-
(D) Cash or cash equivalents, excluding those that are restricted for being used for exchange or settlement of liabilities at least within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
-
The Company classifies all assets that do not match the above conditions as non-current.
-
B. Liabilities that match any of the following conditions shall be classified as current liabilities:
-
A. The liability is expected to be settled over normal business cycles.
-
B. The liability is held primarily for the purpose of trading.
-
C. The liability is expected to be due to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date.
-
D. The due date of the liability cannot be unconditionally extended for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. The terms of the liability that may, at the option of the counterparty, result in settlement of the liability by issuance of equity instruments do not affect the classification of the liability.
The Company classifies all liabilities that do not match the above conditions as non-current.
- (5) Cash equivalents
Cash equivalents refer to short-term investments with high liquidity that can be converted into specified amounts of cash at any time with little risk of value changes. Time deposits that fit into the aforesaid definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term operating cash commitments are classified as cash equivalents.
~20~
-
(6) Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss
-
A. Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss refer to financial assets not measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
-
B. The Company uses settlement date accounting for financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss in accordance with the trading practice.
-
C. The Company measures the financial assets at fair value at initial recognition and relevant transaction costs are recognized as profit or loss. The financial assets are subsequently measured at fair value and any gains or losses arising therefrom are recognized as profit or loss.
-
D. When the right to receive dividends is established, the Company recognizes the dividend income as profit or loss, provided that the economic benefits related to the dividends are likely to flow in and the amount of the dividends can be measured reliably.
-
(7) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
-
A. Financial assets measured at amortized cost refer to financial assets that meet all the following conditions:
-
(A) The financial asset is held under an operating model with the purpose of receiving contractual cash flows.
-
(B) The contractual terms of the financial asset generate cash flows on a specific date that are solely payments of principal and interest.
-
-
B. The Company uses transaction date accounting for financial assets measured at amortized cost in accordance with the trading practice.
-
C. The Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs at initial recognition and subsequently recognizes interest income using the effective interest method over the circulation period according to the amortization procedure as well as impairment losses. Derecognition gains or losses are then recognized as profit or loss.
-
D. The Company holds time deposits that do not qualify as cash equivalents. As the discount of the time deposits does not have significant effect due to a short holding period, the Company measures them based on the investment amount.
-
(8) Accounts and notes receivable
-
A. Accounts and notes receivable refer to accounts and notes with the right to unconditionally receive the consideration for which goods or services are exchanged pursuant to contractual agreements.
-
B. They are short-term accounts and notes receivable without payment of interest. As the discount of the accounts and notes receivable does not have significant effect, the Company measures them at the initial invoice amount.
-
(9) Impairment of financial assets
On each balance sheet, the Company measures the loss allowance for financial assets measured at amortized cost and accounts receivable containing significant financing components, whose credit risk is not significantly increased after initial recognition, at the amount of the 12-month expected credit losses in consideration of all reasonable and supportable information (including forward-looking information). If their credit risk is significantly increased after initial recognition, the loss allowance is measured at the amount of the expected credit losses throughout the lifetime. For accounts receivable that do not contain significant financing
~21~
components, the loss allowance is measured at the amount of the expected credit losses throughout the lifetime.
- (10) Derecognition of financial assets
In case of any of the following circumstances, the Company derecognizes financial assets:
-
A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from financial assets become invalid.
-
B. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from financial assets are transferred and substantially all of the risks and rewards from ownership of the financial assets have been transferred.
-
C. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from financial assets are transferred and control of the financial assets is not retained.
-
(11) Lessor’s lease transactions – operating leases
The lease income from operating leases less any incentive given to the lessee is amortized under the straight-line method over the lease term and recognized as profit or loss in the current period.
- (12) Inventory
Inventory is measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and its cost is determined using the moving average approach. The item-by-item method is adopted to determine the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value means the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated cost required for completion and the relevant variable selling expenses.
-
(13) Investments accounted for using the equity method – subsidiaries and associates
-
A. Subsidiaries refer to entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company. An entity is controlled by the Company when the Company is exposed and has rights to variable returns from its involvement in the entity and has the ability to affect the returns with its power over the entity.
-
B. Unrealized gains or losses arising from transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. Necessary adjustments have been made to the accounting policies of the subsidiaries to keep them consistent with those of the Company.
-
C. The Company recognizes its share of profits or losses after the acquisition of subsidiaries as profit or loss in the current period and recognizes its share of other comprehensive income after the acquisition as other comprehensive income. If the Company’s share of losses of a subsidiary equals or exceeds our interest in the subsidiary, the Company will continue to recognize losses in proportion to its shareholding.
-
D. Changes in the Company’s shareholding in its subsidiaries that do not result in a loss of control (transactions with non-controlling interests) are treated as equity transactions, namely transactions with the owners. The difference between the adjusted amount of noncontrolling interests and the fair value of considerations paid or received is directly recognized as equity.
-
E. Associates refer to entities that the Company has significant influence and no control over, in which case, generally speaking, the Company directly or indirectly holds 20% or more of the voting rights in the entities. The Company adopts the equity method for its investments in associates and recognizes them at cost when acquiring them.
-
F. The Company recognizes its share of profits or losses after the acquisition of associates as profit or loss in the current period and recognizes its share of other comprehensive income
~22~
after the acquisition as other comprehensive income. If the Company’s share of losses in any associate is equal to or exceeds its interest in the associate (including any other unsecured accounts receivable), the Company does not recognize further losses, unless the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations to or made payments on behalf of the associate.
-
G. When there are changes in the equity of an associate that are not associated with profits or losses and other comprehensive income and do not affect the Company’s shareholding percentage in the associate, the Company recognizes all equity changes as “capital reserves” in proportion to its shareholding.
-
H. Unrealized gains and losses generated from transactions between the Company and its associates have been derecognized based on the percentage of its interest in the associates. Unless there is any evidence indicating that the assets transferred in the transactions have impaired, the unrealized losses are derecognized, too. Necessary adjustments have been made to the accounting policies of the associates to keep them consistent with those of the Company.
-
I. If the Company loses significant influence over an associate when disposing of it, the accounting treatment of all amounts related to the associate and previously recognized as other comprehensive income is on the same basis as that for the Company’s direct disposal of the relevant assets or liabilities. In other words, profits or losses previously recognized as other comprehensive income are reclassified as profit or loss when the relevant assets or liabilities are disposed of. Thus, the profits or losses are reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the Company loses significant influence over the associate. If the Company still has significant influence over the associate, the amount previously recognized as other comprehensive income is transferred out proportionally based on the above method.
-
J. According to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the current period presented in the parent-only financial statements shall be the same as the allocations of profits or losses attributable to owners of the parent company in the current period presented in the financial statements prepared on the basis of consolidation. Owners’ equity in the parentonly financial statements shall also be the same as equity attributable to owners of the parent company in the financial statements prepared on the basis of consolidation.
-
(14) Property, plant and equipment
-
A. Property, plant and equipment are accounted for at the acquisition cost and relevant interest during construction is capitalized.
-
B. Subsequent costs are included in the carrying amount of the asset or recognized as an individual asset only when future economic benefits associated with the item are likely to flow in the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part shall be derecognized. All other maintenance expenses are recognized as profit or loss in the current period at the time of their occurrence.
-
C. The property, plant and equipment are subsequently measured under the cost model. Except for land that is not depreciated, all property, plant and equipment are depreciated using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life. If the property, plant and equipment comprise any significant components, they are depreciated individually.
-
D. The Company reviews the residual value, useful life and depreciation method of all assets at the end of each fiscal year. If the expected residual value and useful life are different from the previous estimates or there has been a significant change in the pattern in which
~23~
the future economic benefits of the asset are expected to be consumed, such change shall be treated in accordance with the requirements on changes in accounting estimates in IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” on the date of its occurrence.
The useful life of different types of assets is as follows:
| Premises and buildings | 3-55 years |
|---|---|
| Machines/equipment | 3-12 years |
| Office equipment | 3-12 years |
| Other equipment | 2-20 years |
-
(15) Lessee’s lease transactions – right-of-use assets and lease liabilities
-
A. Lease assets are recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the date on which they become available for use by the Company. For short-term leases or leases of lowvalue underlying assets, the lease payments are recognized as expense using the straightline method over the lease term.
-
B. As for lease liabilities, the unpaid lease payments are recognized at present value discounted at the incremental loan interest rate of the Company on the lease commencement date. Lease payments include fixed payments, less any receivable lease incentives.
The lease liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the interest method and interest expenses are amortized over the lease term. If changes in the lease term or lease payments do not result from contract revisions, the lease liabilities are re-assessed and a re-measurement is made to adjust right-of-use assets.
- C. The right-of-use assets are recognized at cost (including the initially measured amount of the lease liabilities and any initial direct cost incurred) on the lease commencement date.
The right-of-use assets are subsequently measured under the cost model and are depreciated when the useful life of the right-of-use assets or the lease term expires, whichever is earlier. When reassessing the lease liabilities, any remeasurement of the lease liabilities is adjusted for the right-of-use assets.
(16) Investment property
Investment property is recognized at acquisition cost and subsequently measured under the cost model. Except for land, the investment property is depreciated using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 48-55 years.
- (17) Intangible assets
Computer software is recognized at acquisition cost and amortized using the straight-line method over an estimated useful life of 3-5 years.
- (18) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company estimates the recoverable amount of assets with signs of impairment on the balance sheet date. When the recoverable amount falls below the carrying value, an impairment loss is recognized. The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of an asset less the disposal cost and the value in use. When an asset impairment recognized in prior years may no longer exist or has decreased, the impairment loss is reversed, provided that the carrying amount
~24~
of the asset increased after reversal of the impairment loss does not exceed the carrying amount of the asset less amortization or depreciation expense without recognition of the impairment loss.
- (19) Loans
Loans refer to long-term and short-term borrowings from banks At initial recognition, the Company measures the loans at fair value less transaction costs and subsequently uses the effective interest method to recognize interest expenses at the difference between the proceeds net of transaction costs and the redemption value as profit or loss over the circulation period according to the amortization procedure.
-
(20) Accounts and notes payable
-
A. Accounts and notes payable refer to debts incurred due to the purchase of raw materials, goods, or services on credit terms and notes payable arising from operating and nonoperating activities.
-
B. They are short-term accounts and notes payable without payment of interest. As the discount of the accounts and notes payable does not have significant effect, the Company measures them at the initial invoice amount.
-
(21) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when the obligations specified in contracts are fulfilled, canceled, or expired.
-
(22) Employee benefits
-
A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at an undiscounted amount expected to be paid and recognized as expense when the related services are provided.
-
B. Pension
-
(A) Defined contribution plan
Under the defined contribution plan, pension contributions that shall be made are recognized as pension cost in the current period on an accrual basis. Pre-paid contributions are recognized as assets to the extent that a cash refund or reduction in future payments is available.
-
(B) Defined benefit plan
-
a. Under the defined benefit plan, net obligations are calculated based on the discounted future benefits earned by employees for services rendered during the current period or in the past and stated at the present value of the defined benefit obligations on the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit obligations are calculated by an actuary using the projected unit credit method every year. The discount rate is the yield rate of government bonds that have the same currency and period under the defined benefit plan on the balance sheet date.
-
b. Remeasurements arising from the defined benefit plan are recognized as other comprehensive income and recorded in retained earnings in the period of their incurrence.
-
c. Expenses related to past service costs are immediately recognized as profit or
~25~
loss.
- C. Remuneration to employees and to directors and supervisors
Remuneration to employees and to directors and supervisors is recognized as expense and liabilities when it is subject to legal or constructive obligations and its amount can be estimated reasonably. Any difference between the amount of remuneration actually distributed to employees, directors and supervisors as resolved at the shareholders’ meeting and the estimated amount is treated as an accounting estimate change. If employees’ remuneration is distributed in shares, the closing price on the day before the date of the Board’s resolution is used as a basis for calculating the number of shares to be distributed.
-
(23) Income tax
-
A. Income tax expense includes current and deferred income taxes. Income taxes related to the items recognized as other comprehensive income or directly recognized as equity are recognized as comprehensive income or directly recognized as equity, respectively. The other income taxes are recognized as profit or loss.
-
B. The Company calculates the current income tax based on the tax rates and laws of countries where the Company operates or generates taxable income that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The management regularly assesses the reporting of income taxes in accordance with applicable income tax laws and regulations and estimates income tax liabilities based on tax payments expected to be made to the taxation authority, if applicable. The income tax imposed on undistributed earnings according to the Income Tax Act is recognized as income tax on undistributed earnings based on the actual distribution of earnings only after the earning distribution proposal is passed at the shareholders’ meeting in the year following the year in which the earnings are generated.
-
C. Deferred income taxes are recognized at temporary difference between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities on the parent-only balance sheet and their tax bases using the balance sheet approach. The deferred income tax liabilities generated from the goodwill initially recognized are not recognized. If the deferred income tax results from the initially recognized assets or liabilities in transactions (excluding corporate mergers) and does not affect the accounting profit or the taxable income (taxable loss) at the time of the transaction, the deferred income tax is not recognized. Temporary differences resulting from investments in subsidiaries and associates are not recognized if the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. The tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to be applicable when the relevant deferred income tax assets are realized or deferred income tax liabilities are settled are adopted for the deferred income taxes.
-
D. Deferred income tax assets are recognized when it is probable that temporary differences will be available for offsetting future taxable income. Unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed on each balance sheet date.
-
E. When there is a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts of current income tax assets and liabilities recognized and an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, the current income tax assets may be offset against the current income tax liabilities. When there is a legally enforceable right to offset the amounts of current income tax assets and liabilities and when deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on the
~26~
same taxable entity or different taxable entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously, the deferred income tax assets and liabilities may be offset against each other.
(24) Share capital
-
A. Common shares are classified as equity. The incremental cost directly attributable to the issue of new shares and stock options is recognized as a debit item of the proceeds in equity, net of income taxes.
-
B. When repurchasing issued shares, the Company recognizes the considerations paid, including any directly attributable incremental cost, at the net amount after tax as a debit item of shareholders’ equity. When reissuing the repurchased shares, the difference between the received considerations less any directly attributable incremental cost and income tax effects and the carrying value is recognized as an adjustment to shareholders’ equity. In addition, since January 1, 2002, the Company’s shares held by its subsidiaries have been treated as treasury stocks.
-
(25) Distribution of dividends
Dividends distributed to the Company’s shareholders are recognized in the financial statements when a resolution to distribute the dividends is adopted at a shareholders’ meeting. Cash dividends distributed are recognized as liabilities.
-
(26) Recognition of income
-
A. Sale of goods
-
(A) Sales revenue is recognized when control over products is transferred to a customer. The customer has discretion regarding the sales channels and prices of the products and the Company has no unfulfilled performance obligations that may affect the customer’s acceptance of the products. At the time the products are delivered to the designated location, the risk of the products being out of date and lost is already transferred to the customer. When the customer accepts the products pursuant to the sales contract or there is objective evidence demonstrating that all acceptance criteria have been met, the goods is deemed delivered.
-
(B) The Company offers a standard warranty for the products sold and is obligated to make refunds for product defects. The warranty is recognized as a liability provision at the time the products are sold.
-
(C) Accounts receivable are recognized when goods are delivered to a customer as the Company has had unconditional rights to contract proceeds since that time and may collect consideration from the customer after that time.
-
-
B. Costs of obtaining contracts with customers
Although it is expectable that the Company’s incremental costs incurred for obtaining contracts with customers can be recovered, the costs are recognized as expense at the time of their incurrence since the relevant contract terms are shorter than one year.
- (27) Government subsidies
Government subsidies shall be recognized when it is reasonable to ensure that the business will comply with the conditions incident to the government subsidies and the subsidies may be received affirmatively. If the government subsidies in nature are used to offset the expenses incurred by the Group, they are recognized as profit or loss on a systematic basis in the period
~27~
during which the relevant expenses are incurred.
5.
Main sources of uncertainty of material accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions
When the Company prepared the parent-only financial statements, the management used their judgment to determine which accounting policies were to be adopted and made accounting estimates and assumptions based on reasonable expectations of future events and according to the situation on the balance sheet date. There might be differences between the made material accounting estimates and assumptions and the actual results. Hence, historical experience and other factors would be taken into account to make continuous assessments and adjustments. Such estimates and assumptions led to a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the following fiscal year. The following is the description of the uncertainty of material accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions:
- (1) Important judgments for accounting policies adopted:
None.
-
(2) Important accounting estimates and assumptions
-
A. Valuation of accounts receivable
When there is objective evidence suggesting a sign of impairment, future cash flow estimates are taken into consideration. The amount of impairment losses is measured based on the difference between the carrying value of the asset and the present value of the estimated future cash flow discounted at the initial effective interest rate of the financial asset. If the actual cash flow in the future is less than estimated, significant impairment losses may occur.
- B. Valuation of inventory
Inventory shall be evaluated on the basis of the lower of cost or net realizable value. Hence, the Company must use judgments and estimates to determine the net realizable value of the inventory on the balance sheet date. As technology advances rapidly, the Company assesses the amount of inventory with normal wear and tear and obsolescence and without market sales value on the balance sheet date and writes down the cost of the inventory to the net realizable value. The valuation of inventory is mainly estimated according to the product demand within a certain period in the future; therefore, significant changes may occur.

A. Defined benefit plan
The Company has established a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the “Labor Standards Act.” The plan is applicable to the length of service of all full-time employees calculated before the “Labor Pension Act” was implemented on July 1, 2005, and the length of service of employees who choose to stay in the pension scheme under the Labor Standards Act calculated after the implementation of the “Labor Pension Act.” The pension paid to employees who meet the criteria for retirement is calculated based on their length of service and their average salary for the 6 months prior to their retirement. Employees whose length of service is no more than 15 years (inclusive) will receive two base points for each year of service and employees whose length of service is more than 15 years will receive one base point for each additional year of service. The maximum number of accumulated base points is 45. The Company makes a pension contribution of 2% of the total salary on a monthly basis and deposits it into a special account with the Bank of Taiwan in the name of the Labor Pension Fund Supervisory Committee. In addition, before the end of each fiscal year, if the balance of the labor pension fund account referred to in the preceding paragraph is insufficient to pay the pension calculated above to employees expected to meet the criteria for retirement in the following fiscal year, the Company will make and deposit full contributions into the account by the end of March of the next fiscal year.

B. Risk management policy
-
(A) The Company’s day-to-day operations are affected by multiple financial risks, including market risk (exchange rate risk and price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.
-
(B) The Finance Department implements risk management in accordance with the policy approved by the Board of Directors. The Company’s Finance Department is responsible for identifying, assessing, and avoiding financial risks by closely cooperating with the Group’s operating units.
~51~
-
C. Nature and level of material financial risks
-
(A) Market risk
Exchange rate risk
-
a. The Company operates transnationally and thus incurs exchange rate risk generated from transactions using functional currencies different from the one of the Company, which mainly are the US dollar and Chinese yuan. The relevant exchange rate risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.
-
b. As the business activities that the Company is engaged in involve several functional currencies (the functional currency of the Company is the NT dollar), there is effect from exchange rate volatility on the Company. Information on foreign currency assets and liabilities with significant exchange rate volatility effect is shown below:
| (Foreign currency: functional currency) Financial assets Monetary items USD : NTD EUR : NTD CNY : NTD Investments accounted for using the equity method USD : NTD HKD : NTD THB : NTD Financial liabilities Monetary items USD : NTD EUR : NTD |
December 31, 2022 Foreign currency (thousand dollars) Exchange rate $ 53,893 30.71 1,377 32.72 258 4.41 $ 6,559 30.71 1,644 3.94 6,397 0.96 $ 887 30.71 70 32.72 |
December 31, 2021 Foreign currency (thousand dollars) Exchange rate $ 52,134 27.68 405 31.32 84 4.34 $ 8,237 27.68 2,200 3.55 6,790 0.96 $ 3,218 27.68 3,338 31.32 |
|---|---|---|
Foreign currency (thousand dollars) $ 53,893 1,377 258 $ 6,559 1,644 6,397 $ 887 70 |
Foreign currency (thousand dollars) $ 52,134 405 84 $ 8,237 2,200 6,790 $ 3,218 3,338 |
-
c. As exchange rate volatility has significant effect, all exchange losses (both realized and unrealized) recognized with respect to the monetary items of the Company in 2022 and 2021 were $177,209 and ($27,056), respectively.
-
d. The sensitivity analysis of the Company’s exchange rate risk focused on the effect of the appreciation or depreciation of relevant foreign currencies with respect to the main foreign currency monetary items on the financial reporting date on the Company’s profit or loss. When there was an 1% appreciation or depreciation of the NT dollar against the aforesaid foreign currencies, the profit or loss was increased or reduced by $18,977 and $15,074 in 2022 and 2021, respectively, provided that all the other factors remained the same.
Price risk
~52~
-
a. The Company’s equity instruments exposed to price risk are financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss. To manage the price risk from investments in equity instruments, the Company diversifies its portfolio based on the limit set by it.
-
b. The Company mainly invests in equity instruments issued by domestic companies and open-end funds. The price of such equity instruments is affected due to the uncertainty of their future value. When the price of the equity instruments rose or dropped by 1% and all the other factors remained the same, the net profit after tax was increased or reduced by $1,865 and $1,103 in 2022 and 2021, respectively, due to the gain or loss from equity instruments measured at fair value through profit or loss.
Cash flow and fair value interest rate risks
-
a. The Company’s short-term loans for the purchase of materials are fixed interest rate debts. The risk of the loans is contingent on changes in market interest rates. However, as they will fall due within one year, no significant market risk is expected to occur.
-
b. When the loan interest rate rose or dropped by 1% and all the other factors remained the same, the net profit after tax was reduced or increased by $9,640 and $13,073 in 2022 and 2021, respectively.
-
(B) Credit risk
-
a. The Company’s credit risk is the risk of failure of a customer or a counterparty trading financial instruments with the Company to fulfill the contractual obligations leading to the Company’s financial loss. The risk is mainly generated from accounts receivable that cannot be collected from the counterparty according to the payment terms and from contractual cash flows classified as investments in debt instruments measured at amortized cost and at fair value through profit or loss.
-
b. According to the Company’s explicitly defined internal loan policy, all operating entities of the Group must conduct management and credit risk analysis for every new customer before setting payment terms and proposing delivery terms and conditions. The customers’ credit quality is assessed by taking into consideration their financial position, past experiences and other factors for internal risk control.
-
c. The Company adopts the premises and assumptions provided by IFRS 9 as bases for determining if the credit risk of financial instruments increases significantly after initial recognition. When a contract payment is overdue over 90 days according to the agreed payment terms, the credit risk of financial assets is considered to have significantly increased after initial recognition.
-
d. The Company adopts the premises and assumptions provided by IFRS 9. When a contract payment is overdue over 180 days according to the agreed payment terms, a default is considered to have occurred.
-
e. The credit impairment indicators used by the Company to identify investments in debt instruments are shown below:
- (A) The issuer incurs significant financial difficulties or there is a significantly increased possibility that it will enter into bankruptcy or other financial
~53~
reorganization;
-
(B) The issuer incurs financial difficulties resulting in the disappearance of the active market of the financial asset;
-
(C) The issuer defaults on or fails to pay the interest or principal;
-
(D) There are changes adverse to national and regional economic situations that are associated with the default of the issuer.
-
f. The Company adopts the simplified approach to estimate expected credit losses for accounts receivable from customers by the characteristics of the customers based on a provision matrix.
-
g. The Company takes into consideration the study reports of Taiwan Institute of Economic Research for future prospects when adjusting the loss rate derived from information during specific historical and current periods to estimate the loss allowance for accounts receivable. The provision matrix on December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, is as follows:
| December 31, 2022 Expected loss rate Total carrying value Loss allowance December 31, 2021 Expected loss rate Total carrying value Loss allowance |
Not overdue 0.15%- 0.62% $ 239,778 $ 408 0.11%- 0.14% $ 268,208 $ 315 |
Overdue 30 days 66.27%- 86.10% $ 2,040 $ 745 16.72%- 44.38% $ 502 $ 183 |
Overdue 31- 90 days 100% $- $- 49.36%- 83.36% $ 753 $ 499 |
Overdue 91- 180 days 100% $ 38 $ 38 97.34%- 100% $ 420 $ 404 |
Overdue over 181 days 100% $- $- 100% $ 74 $ 74 |
Total $ 241,856 |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
$ 1,191 $ 269,957 |
||||||
$ 1,475 |
- h. The table about changes in the loss allowance for accounts receivable, for which the Company adopted the simplified approach, is as follows:
| January 1 Reversal of impairment losses Transferred to receivables on demand Effect of exchange rate December 31 January 1 Reversal of impairment losses Transferred to receivables on demand Effect of exchange rate December 31 |
2022 $ 1,475 ( 284) ( 686) 686 $ 1,191 2021 $ 3,656 ( 2,141) 178 ( 218) $ 1,475 |
$ 1,475 ( 284) ( 686) 686 $ 1,191 |
|---|---|---|
-
i. The Company places investments in debt instruments measured at amortized cost with high-credit-quality counterparties. As assessed, there are no significant expected credit impairment losses.
-
(C) Liquidity risk
-
a. Cash flow forecasting is carried out individually by each operating entity of the
~54~
Company and the results are summarized by the Company’s Finance Department. The Company’s Finance Department monitors the forecasting of the Company’s needs for current funds to ensure there are sufficient funds to meet the operating needs and maintains adequate unused committed lending facilities to prevent the Company from violating relevant lending limits or terms. Consideration is given to the Company’s debt financing plans, compliance with debt terms, and achievement of internal target balance sheet financial ratios when making such forecasts.
- b. The following table presents the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities that are grouped by relevant maturity dates. The non-derivative financial liabilities are analyzed based on the remaining period from the balance sheet date to the contract maturity date. The amount of contractual cash flows disclosed in the following table is undiscounted:

(3) Fair value information
-
A. The levels of the valuation technique adopted to measure the fair value of financial instruments and non-financial instruments are defined as follows:
-
Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities accessible to an entity on the measurement date (unadjusted). Active markets are ones where asset or liability transactions take place with sufficient frequency and volume for pricing information to be provided on an ongoing basis. All the fair values of the Company’s investments in listed/OTC stocks fall under Level 1.
-
Level 2: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than the quoted prices included in Level 1 that are directly or indirectly observable for the asset or liability. The Company’s investments in bond instruments without active market fall under Level 2.
-
~55~
Level 3: Level 3 inputs are inputs that are unobservable to the asset or liability.
-
B. Please refer to the description in Note 6 (12) for information on the fair value of investment property measured at cost.
-
C. Financial instruments not measured at fair value
The carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, deposits paid for other non-current assets, short-term loans, notes and accounts payable, and other payables are reasonable approximations of their fair values.
-
D. The Company classifies the financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value based on the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities as well as the levels of the fair values. The relevant information is shown below:
-
(A) The following is information on the Company’s classification based on the nature of the assets and liabilities:
| December 31, 2022 Assets Recurring fair value Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss Equity securities December 31, 2021 Assets Recurring fair value Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss Equity securities |
Level 1 $ 152,958 Level 1 $ 81,799 |
Level 2 $ - Level 2 $ - |
Level 3 $ 33,563 Level 3 $ 28,537 |
Total $ 186,521 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
Total $ 110,336 |
-
(B) The methods and assumptions used by the Company to measure the fair value are as follows:
-
a. The quoted market price used by the Company as fair value inputs (i.e. Level 1 inputs) is listed based on the characteristics of the instruments in the following:
Listed (OTC) stocks Open-end funds Quoted market price Closing price Net value
- b. The fair value of all financial instruments, except for the aforementioned financial instruments in the active market, is acquired using the valuation technique or with reference to the quotation of the counterparty. When the valuation technique is used for acquisition of the fair value, the current fair value of other financial instruments with substantially similar conditions and characteristics, the cash flow discounting method, and other valuation techniques may be used as a reference, including the market information application model acquirable on the parent-only balance sheet date (e.g. TPEx yield curve and Reuters average interest rate quote of commercial paper).
~56~
-
c. Generally, forward exchange contracts are valuated at the current forward exchange rate.
-
d. The valuation model is created based on the estimated approximation and the valuation technique may not be able to reflect all factors associated with the Company’s financial and non-financial instruments. Therefore, estimates made using the valuation model are adjusted properly based on additional parameters, such as model risk or liquidity risk. According to the Company’s fair value valuation model management policy and relevant control procedures, the management believes that valuation adjustments are appropriate and necessary for fair presentation of the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments in the parent-only balance sheet. Price information and parameters used in the valuation process are carefully assessed and adjusted based on the current market situation appropriately.
-
E. There was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 in 2022 and 2021.
-
F. Movements in Level 3 equity instruments from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021, are listed in the following table:
| re listed in the following table: | ||
|---|---|---|
| January 1 Purchase in the current period Profits recognized as profit or loss December 31 |
2022 Equity instruments $ 28,537 5,000 26 $ 33,563 |
2021 Equity instruments $ 10,881 13,000 4,656 $ 28,537 |
-
G. There was no transfer-in/transfer-out to/from Level 3 from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021.
-
H. The Company’s Finance Department is responsible for verifying the independent fair value of financial instruments in the process of valuation of Level 3 fair values to make valuation results close to the market situation based on information from independent sources and make sure that the information sources are independent, reliable and consistent with other resources and reflect executable prices. The Company also regularly adjusts the valuation model, conducts retrospective testing, updates inputs and data required for the valuation model, and makes any other necessary fair value adjustment to ensure reasonable valuation results.
-
I. The quantitative significant unobservable inputs of the valuation model used for Level 3 fair value measurements are analyzed and described as follows:
| Fair value on December 31, 2022 Non-derivative equity instruments: Non- listed/non- OTC stocks $ 33,563 |
