INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Sunspring Metal Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Sunspring Metal Corporation (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statement").
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and Standing Interpretations Committee endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matters of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 are described as follows:
Revenue Recognition
The growth rate of sales revenue from some of the specific customers is significantly higher than the average sales revenue; therefore, the specific revenue from these customers was identified as a key audit matter. Refer to Note 4 to the consolidated financial statements for the related accounting policies on sales revenue.
Our audit procedures performed in regard to the key audit matter included the following:
- We understood the design and implementation of the main internal controls for the abovementioned customer-specific sales revenue and tested if these controls were performed effectively.
- We selected appropriate samples from the abovementioned customer-specific sales receipts and checked the customer orders, delivery orders and payment collections corresponding to sales revenue to confirm the validity of sales revenue transactions.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Sunspring Metal Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and Standing Interpretations Committee endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 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.

IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements”
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:
- Items of income and expenses included in the statement of profit or loss shall be classified into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discounted operations categories.
- The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
- Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Company and its subsidiaries shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions and other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristics. The Company and its subsidiaries shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Company and its subsidiaries labels item as 'other' only if it cannot find a more informative label.
- Disclosure on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management's view of an aspects of the financial performance of the Company and its subsidiaries as a whole, the Company and its subsidiaries shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial Statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interest effects of related reconciliation items.
In addition, the IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows" has been amended as follows:
- When the Group prepares its cash flow from operating activities using the indirect method, it should use operating profit or loss as the starting point for adjustment.
-
Interest and dividends received by the Group should be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid should be classified as financing activities. If the Group is assessed to have a specific principal operating activity, the types of dividend income, interest income and interest expense reported in the income statement shall be considered to determine the classification
-
13 -
of receiving dividends, receiving interest and paying interest in the cash flow statement. However, each of the above cash flows can only be classified in a single activity in the cash flow statement.
As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group continues to evaluating other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Corporation and its subsidiaries' financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
a. Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.
b. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
3) 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.
Current liabilities include:
1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and
3) Liabilities for which the Group 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
- 14 -
classification.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
d. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e., its subsidiaries).
Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of profit or loss and other comprehensive income from the effective dates of acquisitions up to the effective dates of disposals, as appropriate.
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those used by the Company.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the interests of the Group and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.
See Note 11, Tables 5 and 6 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including the percentages of ownership and main businesses).
e. Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of the entities in the Group, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (foreign currencies) 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 in which they arise.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income; in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Group's foreign operations (including the subsidiaries in other countries that use currencies which are different from the Company) are translated into the New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising are recognized in other comprehensive income (and attributed to the owners of the Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate).
- 15 -
f. Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, work-in-process, merchandise and finished goods and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
g. Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are measured at cost less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use.
Except for freehold land which is not depreciated, the depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
h. Goodwill
Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is measured at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.
For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group's cash-generating units or groups of cash-generating units (referred to as "cash-generating units") that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more frequently whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then pro rata to the other assets of the unit based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. Any impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.
i. Intangible assets
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. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.
On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
- 16 -
j. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets other than goodwill
At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered any impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the assets may be impaired.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount (less amortization and depreciation) that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
k. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when an entity in the Group 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 issuance 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.
1) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
a) Measurement categories
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost.
i. Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
i) The financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
- 17 -
ii) 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 at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, trade receivables other receivables, refundable deposits and other financial assets at amortized cost, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such financial asset, except for:
i) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial asset; and
ii) Financial asset that is not credit impaired on purchase or origination but has subsequently become credit impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.
A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more of the following events have occurred:
i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
ii) Breach of contract, such as a default;
iii) It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or undergo a financial reorganization; or
iv) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
b) Impairment of financial assets
The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables).
The Group always recognizes lifetime expected credit loss (ECL) for trade receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECL represents the expected credit loss 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.
- 18 -
For internal credit risk management purposes, the Group considers the following situations indication that a financial asset is in default (without taking into account any collateral held by the Group):
i. Internal or external information shows that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.
ii. When a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.
The impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
c) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss.
2) Financial liabilities
a) Subsequent measurement
Except the following situations, all the financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method:
Financial liabilities at FVTPL
Financial liabilities are classified as at FVTPL when such financial liabilities are held for trading.
Financial liabilities held for trading are stated at fair value, and any gains or losses on such financial liabilities are recognized in other gains or losses; any remeasurement gains or losses on such financial liabilities are recognized in other gains or losses.
b) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
- Revenue recognition
The Group identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
Sales of goods are recognized as revenue when the goods are delivered to the customer’s specific location/the goods are shipped/the goods are picked up because it is the time when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and bears the risks of obsolescence. Revenue and trade receivables are recognized concurrently.
The Group does not recognize revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of control.
- 19 -
m. Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
1) The Group as lessor
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
When the Group subleases a right-of-use asset, it classifies the sublease as a right-of-use asset (not the underlying asset). However, if the main lease is a short-term lease for which the merged company is eligible for recognition exemption, the sublease is classified as an operating lease.
Under finance leases, lease payments include fixed payments. The net investment in a lease is measured and expressed as finance lease receivables, which is the sum of the present value of the lease payments receivable and the unguaranteed residual value, plus the original direct costs. Finance income is amortized over accounting periods to reflect the fixed rate of return that the Group can obtain from its net investment in leases not yet due in each period. For lease modifications not treated as separate leases, if the modification takes effect on the lease incorporation date, the lease is classified as an operating lease, and the modification is treated as a new lease, with the carrying amount measured at the balance of finance lease receivables as of the effective date of the modification. Other lease negotiations are adjusted for finance lease receivables in accordance with IFRS 9.
Under an operating lease, lease payments, excluding the incentives for the lease, are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the relevant lease term. The original direct costs incurred in acquiring the operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
2) The Group as lessee
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for by applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments, in-substance fixed payments, variable lease payments which depend on an index or a rate. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine
- 20 -
those payments, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
For sale and leaseback transactions, if the transfer of an asset satisfies the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale, the Group recognizes only the amount of any gain or loss which relates to the rights transferred to the buyer-lessor, and adjusts the off-market terms to measure the sale proceeds at fair value. If the transfer does not satisfy the requirements of IFRS 15 to be accounted for as a sale, it is accounted for as a financing transaction.
n. Government grants
Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants related to income are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.
The benefit of a government loan received at a below-market rate of interest is treated as a government grant measured as the difference between the proceeds received and the fair value of the loan based on prevailing market interest rates.
o. Employee benefits
1) Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.
2) Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit assets are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit assets represent the actual surplus in the Group's defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
- 21 -
p. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
1) Current tax
Income tax payable (refundable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.
According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.
Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
2) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused loss carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
3) Current and deferred taxes for the year
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
- CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimations and assumptions on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
After evaluation by the management of the Group, there were no significant uncertainties in the accounting policies, estimates and underlying assumptions adopted by the Group.

The average credit period of the sale of goods is 60-140 days. No interest is charged on trade receivables. The Group adopted a policy of using other publicly available financial information or its own trading records to rate its customers.
In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual
trade debt at the end of the year to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.
The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECL. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated by reference to the past default experience of the customer, the customer’s current financial position, economic condition of the industry in which the customer operates, as well as the GDP forecasts and industry outlook. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group’s different customer base.
The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.
Other receivable mainly consist of business tax refunds receivable and interest receivable. The Group adopted a policy of conducting with counterparties of good credit standing, and obtain adequate collateral when necessary to mitigate the risk of financial loss due to default. The Group continuously monitors credit exposure and the credit ratings of counterparty, credit rating information is assigned to counterparties based on their historical transaction records.

The implied interest rate under the lease agreement remains unchanged after the contract date. As of December 31, 2025, the implied interest rate for the finance lease was 2.345% per annum.
The lease agreement between the Company and the lessee includes general risk management policies to mitigate the residual asset risk of the leased building at the end of the lease term.

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Group is exposed to the following risks:
1) Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
2) 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 plans' debt investments.
3) 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.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rates | 1.375% | 1.5% |
| Expected rates of salary increase | 2.5% | 2.5% |
If possible reasonable changes in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |

Note: Including the amount of issued share capital exceeding the par value during seasoned equity offering, and the amount transferred from capital reserves to employee shares when employee shares are executed and expired. Such capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Company's capital surplus and to once a year).
c. Retained earnings and dividends policy
Under the dividends policy as set forth in the Articles, where the Company made a profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, except when the accumulated amount a such legal reserve equals to the Company's total issued capital, and setting aside or reversing a special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations. Any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Company's board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders' meeting for distribution of dividends and bonuses to shareholders.
The Company may distribute more than 20% of the profit after tax of the year as shareholder dividends based on financial, business, and operational considerations; based on capital expenditures, business expansion needs, and sound financial planning for sustainable development, when distributing shareholder dividends, it can be paid in the form of cash or stock, but the cash dividend is limited to not less than 20% of the total dividends distributed to shareholders in the current year.
If there is no profit or the distributable profit is far lower than the previous year's amounts distributed, or in consideration of financial, business and operating factors, the appropriation for capital reserve shall be in accordance with relevant laws or regulations or as requested by the authorities in charge.
A distribution plan is also to be made by the board of directors and should be resolved in the shareholder's meeting. The dividends could be distributed in whole or in part by cash after the resolution has been passed by more than half of the directors present at the meeting of the board of directors, in which at least two-thirds of the total number of directors should be present. In addition, a report of such distribution shall be submitted to the shareholders' meeting.
For the policies on the distribution of compensation of employees and remuneration of directors after the amendment, refer to Note 21.
An appropriation of earnings to a legal reserve should be made until the legal reserve equals the Company's paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company's paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.
The appropriations of cash dividends per share for 2024 and 2023 approved in the shareholders' meeting in May 2025 and 2024, respectively, were as follows:
The appropriations of earnings for 2025 had been proposed by the Company's board of directors on February 25, 2026. The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:

If a special reserve appropriated on the first-time adoption of IFRSs relates to exchange differences on translation of the financial statements of foreign operations (including the subsidiaries of the Group), the special reserve will be reversed on a proportionate basis according to the Group's disposal of foreign operations; on the Group's loss of significant influence, however, the entire special reserve will be reversed. Additional special reserve should be appropriated for the amount equal to the difference between net debit balance reserves and the special reserve appropriated on the first-time adoption of IFRSs. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses and, thereafter, distributed.

- EARNINGS PER SHARE
| Net Profit Attributable to Owners of the Company | Number of Shares (In Thousands) | Earnings Per Share (NT$) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| For the Year Ended December 31, 2025 | |||
| Basic earnings per share | |||
| Profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company | $ 78,905 | 199,994 | $ 0.39 |
| Effect of potentially dilutive ordinary shares | |||
| Compensation of employees | - | 1,768 | |
| Diluted earnings per share | |||
| Profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company plus effect of potentially dilutive ordinary shares | $ 78,905 | 201,762 | $ 0.39 |
| For the Year Ended December 31, 2024 | |||
| Basic earnings per share | |||
| Profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company | $ 544,524 | 199,994 | $ 2.72 |
| Effect of potentially dilutive ordinary shares | |||
| Compensation of employees | - | 1,516 | |
| Diluted earnings per share | |||
| Profit for the year attributable to owners of the Company plus effect of potentially dilutive ordinary shares | $ 544,524 | 201,510 | $ 2.70 |
The Group may settle the compensation of employees in cash or shares; therefore, the Group assumes that the entire amount of the compensation will be settled in shares, and the resulting potential shares are included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.
- GOVERNMENT GRANTS
As of December 31, 2025, the Group received a government grant of $93,448 thousand for its "Reward and subsidy funds after the technological transformation of enterprises" and "GEF grants". The amount was recognized as deferred revenue and subsequently transferred to profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset. This policy resulted in a credit to income of $9,318 thousand and $10,840 thousand during the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively.
In addition, as of December 31, 2025, the Company received an interest-free loan of $949,463 thousand from the government's "Welcome Taiwan Businessmen to Return to Taiwan Investment Action Plan" for capital expenditure and operating turnover. The loan will be paid in installments from 2022 to 2029 using prevailing market interest rates for an equivalent loan of 1.1%-1.6%, the fair value of the loan was estimated at $925,884 thousand on initial recognition. The difference of $23,578 thousand between the proceeds and the fair value of the loan is the benefit derived from the interest-free loan and has been recognized as deferred revenue. The revenue was transferred to other income when training expenses were incurred. For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, the amount transferred to other income was
- 40 -
$1,055 thousand and $2,079 thousand, respectively, and interest expense recognized on this loan was $2,446 thousand and $4,159 thousand, respectively, and interest paid was $957 thousand and $2,200 thousand, respectively.
If the Company fails to comply with the key requirements of the project loan during the lending period, causing the National Development Fund to stop the appropriation of the commission fee for the loan, the Company will pay the original agreed interest rate plus the annual interest rate instead.
25. NON-CASH TRANSACTIONS
The investment and financing activities of the non-cash transactions of the Group in 2025 and 2024 were $2,403 thousand and $13,693 thousand, respectively, under the accounts payable for equipment for the acquisition of property, plant and equipment.
26. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Group manages its capital to ensure that entities in the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to stakeholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Group's overall strategy remains unchanged.
The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt (borrowings offset by cash and cash equivalents) and equity of the Group (comprising issued capital, reserves, retained earnings, other equity and non-controlling interests).
The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.
Key management personnel of the Group review the capital structure quarterly. As part of this review, the key management personnel consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the key management personnel, in order to balance the overall capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, the number of new shares issued or repurchased, and the amount of new debt issued or existing debt redeemed.
27. FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
a. Fair value of financial instruments not measured at fair value
The Group's management believes that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value approximate their fair values or that their fair value cannot be measured reliably.
b. Categories of financial instruments
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Financial assets | ||
| Financial assets at amortized cost (1) | $ 4,307,353 | $ 3,727,037 |
| Financial liabilities | ||
| Financial liabilities at amortized cost (2) | $ 2,761,849 | $ 2,425,012 |
1) The balances included financial assets measured at amortized cost, which comprise cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, trade receivables, other receivables, refundable deposits and other financial assets.
2) The balances included financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, which comprise short-term borrowings, trade payables, other payables, long-term borrowings (including those due within one year) and guarantee deposits received.
c. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group’s major financial instruments include trade receivables, trade payables, lease liabilities and borrowings. The Group’s corporate treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, and monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports that analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Group seeks to minimize the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to hedge risk exposures. The use of financial derivatives is governed by the Group’s policies approved by the board of directors, which provided written principles on foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed by the internal auditors on a continuous basis. The Group did not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.
1) Market risk
The Group’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below) and interest rates (see (b) below). The Group entered into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to the risks arising from some foreign currency net assets or net liabilities due to exchange rate or interest rate fluctuations.
There has been no change to the Group’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured. The primarily financial risks were as follows:
a) Foreign currency risk
The Group engages in sales and purchase transactions denominated in foreign currencies, which expose the Group to foreign currency risk. Exchange rate exposures are managed within approved policy parameters utilizing foreign exchange forward contracts.
The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) and of the derivatives exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the year are set out in Note 31.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group was mainly exposed to the USD and RMB. When the NTD had changed by 1% against the USD, the pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have changed by $21,558 thousand and $26,131 thousand. When the NTD had changed by 1% against the RMB, the pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have changed by $1,802 thousand and $2,210 thousand, respectively.
In the management’s opinion, the sensitivity analysis is unrepresentative of the inherent foreign currency risk because the exposure at the end of the year did not reflect the exposure during the year.
- 42 -
b) Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because of deposits and loans at both fixed and floating interest rates. The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the year were as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Fair value interest rate risk | ||
| Financial assets | $ 1,570,044 | $ 742,853 |
| Financial liabilities | 2,219,660 | 2,188,732 |
| Cash flow interest rate risk | ||
| Financial assets | 508,495 | 409,283 |
Sensitivity analysis
For financial assets and liabilities with floating interest rates, if interest rates had been 4 basis points (1%) higher or lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have decreased or increased by $5,085 thousand and $4,093 thousand, respectively.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. At the end of the year, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk, which would cause a financial loss to the Group due to the failure of the counterparty to discharge its obligation, could be equal to the total of the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets.
The Group’s concentration of credit risk of 80% and 82% of total trade receivables as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively, was attributable to the Group’s three largest customers.
3) Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.
The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group had available unutilized bank loan facilities of $8,861,380 thousand and $10,328,393 thousand, respectively.
The liquidity and interest rate risk table below illustrates the maturity analysis of the financial liabilities of the Group within the repayment period. Non-derivative financial liabilities are prepared in terms of undiscounted cash flow on the earliest date when the Group may be required to satisfy the liabilities. The table had been drawn up based on the undiscounted gross inflows and outflows on those derivatives that require gross settlement.
