Independent Auditor's Review Report

To stakeholders of Stark Technology Inc.:

Foreword

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Stark Technology Inc. and subsidiaries as of June 30, 2021 and 2020, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, consolidated statement of changes in equity for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, consolidated statement of cash flow, and the accompanying footnotes (including a summary of key accounting policies). It is the responsibility of the management to prepare and ensure fair presentation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and the version of IAS 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting" approved and published by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Our responsibility as auditor is to form a conclusion based on our review.

Scope

Except for the issues discussed in the "Basis of reservation" paragraph, we, the auditors, have performed the review in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards No. 65 - "Financial Statement Review." The procedures executed in our review of consolidated financial statements include inquiry (mainly with employees responsible for financial and accounting affairs), analysis and other review-related processes. The scope of financial statement review is significantly smaller than a financial statement audit, therefore we may not be able to detect all material issues through the steps we have taken, and are therefore unable to provide an opinion.

Basis of reservation

As mentioned in Note 4.3 of the consolidated financial statements, some of the non-material subsidiaries were consolidated using financial statements for the corresponding periods that were not reviewed by CPAs. As at June 30, 2021 and 2020, these subsidiaries aggregately reported total assets of NT$354,299 thousand and NT$334,222 thousand that represented 6.32% and 6.44% of consolidated total assets, and total liabilities of NT$23,163 thousand and NT$29,207 thousand that represented 0.78% and 1.12% of consolidated total liabilities, respectively. These subsidiaries also reported total comprehensive income of NT$7,002 thousand, NT$9,656 thousand, NT$12,496 thousand and NT$21,388 thousand that represented 5.19%, 7.83%, 4.44% and 8.47% of consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Furthermore, information relating to the abovementioned subsidiaries, as disclosed in Note 13 of the consolidated financial statements, were not CPAreviewed.

Reservations

Based on the reports we have reviewed, we found that none of the material disclosures of the consolidated financial statements mentioned above exhibited any misstatement that did not conform with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers or the version of IAS 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting" approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission, or compromised the fair view of the consolidated financial position of Stark Technology Inc. and subsidiaries as at June 30, 2021 and 2020, or the consolidated financial performance for the three months ended June 30, and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 or consolidated cash flow for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, except for the issues discussed in the "Basis of reservation" paragraph, where financial statements and information of non-material subsidiaries had yet to be reviewed by CPAs, and may cause adjustments to the consolidated financial statements.

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Six Months Ended June 30, 2021 and 2020

(Reviewed only; not audited in accordance with generally accepted audit principles)

(All amounts in NTD thousands unless otherwise specified)

I. Organization and Operations

Stark Technology Inc. (the "Company") was incorporated on March 24, 1993. Its main business activities include distribution and maintenance of computers and peripherals; research, design, development, and sale of computer software/hardware, computer system design, and import/export trade for the Company's own products.

Shares of the Company have been listed for trading on "Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation" since September 2001. The Company's place of registration and main business location is 12F1, No. 83, Section 2, Dongda Road, Hsinchu City.

III. Application of New Standards, Amendments, and Interpretations

  1. Change of accounting policy resulting from first-time adoption of International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS)

The Group has adopted the version of IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and interpretations thereof that approved and effected by Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) for accounting periods on and after January 1, 2021. First-time adoption of the new standards and amendments has had no material impact on the Group.

January 1, 2022
  • (1) Narrow-scope amendments to IFRSs, including amendments to IFRS 3, IAS 16, and IAS 37 and annual improvements

  • A. Updating a Reference to the Conceptual Framework (IFRS 3 amendment) This amendment supersedes old references of conceptual framework for financial reporting, and updates IFRS 3 with the latest references announced in March 2018. The amendment also introduces one exception to the recognition principles that can be adopted to avoid "second day" gains or losses from liabilities or contingent liabilities. Furthermore, the amendment clarifies existing references for contingent assets that are not affected by the superseding reference.

  • B. Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (IAS 16 amendment) This amendment aims to address how businesses account for sale of items produced from a property, plant, or equipment while bringing the asset to its intended use, and prohibits deduction of sales proceeds from the cost of property, plant, or equipment. Instead, businesses are required to account for sales proceeds and associated costs in profit or loss.

  • C. Onerous Contracts - Cost of Fulfilling a Contract (IAS 37 amendment) This amendment clarifies how onerous contract is determined, and the amount of cost to be recognized.

  • D. IFRS improvements for years 2018-2020

Amendments to IFRS 1

This amendment simplifies measurement of aggregate adjustment under IFRS 1 when a subsidiary adopts IFRS for the first time after its parent company.

Amendments to IFRS 9 - "Financial Instruments"

This amendment clarifies the fees to be included when assessing material differences between existing and new financial liabilities, in the case of new contract clause or modification to existing clauses.

11

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Stark Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued) (All amounts in NTD thousands unless otherwise specified)

Amendments to interpretations of IFRS 16 - "Leases"

This amendment addresses how a lessee should account for leasehold improvement incentives in Example 13.

Amendments to IAS 41

This amendment removes a requirement to exclude cash flows from taxation when measuring fair value, so that the fair value measurement rules stated in IAS 41 are consistent with other IFRSs.

The above is the newly issued, revised and amended standards or interpretations that have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board, approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission and applicable for fiscal years after January 1, 2022. They have no significant impact on the Group.

12

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Stark Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued) (All amounts in NTD thousands unless otherwise specified)

This amendment is intended to address the inconsistent treatments between IFRS 10 - "Consolidated Financial Statements" and IAS 28 - "Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures" in cases where a company loses control in a subsidiary when ownership of that subsidiary is offered as consideration for investing into an associated company or joint venture. IAS 28 states that, when a company contributes non-monetary asset in exchange for equity interest in an associated company or joint venture, the transaction shall be treated as a downstream transaction and any share of gains or losses that arises as a result is eliminated. IFRS 10, however, requires the entirety of gains or losses to be recognized when a company loses control in a subsidiary. This amendment limits the IAS 28 treatment mentioned above, and requires all gains or losses to be recognized when the assets sold or contributed constitute a business defined under IFRS 3.

Meanwhile, IFRS 10 was amended so that, when an investor sells or contributes a subsidiary that does not constitute a business defined under IFRS 3 with its associated company or joint venture, gains or losses that arise as a result shall be recognized only for the share that is not attributed to the investor.

(2) IFRS 17, “Insurance Contracts”

This standard provides a comprehensive model for the treatment of insurance contracts, including accounting practices (from recognition, measurement, presentation to disclosure). The standard uses a general model at its core, and under this model, a group of insurance contracts shall be recognized at initiation as the sum of fulfillment cash flows and contractual service margin; thereafter, book value for the group of insurance contracts shall be presented as the sum of liability for remaining coverage and liability for incurred claims as at each balance sheet date.

In addition to the general model, the standard also introduces treatment for insurance contract with direct participation features (the Variable Fee Approach) and simplified approach for short-term contracts (the Premium Allocation Approach).

This standard was first published in May 2017 and later amended in June 2020, which postponed the effective date stated in the transition clause by 2 years (from January 1, 2021 to January 1, 2023), introduced additional exemptions, and reduced cost of adoption through the simplified approach. The amendment also made some circumstances easier to interpret. This standard will supersede the transitional standard (i.e. IFRS 4 - "Insurance Contracts") once effected

13

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Stark Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued) (All amounts in NTD thousands unless otherwise specified)

  • (3) Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current (IAS 1 amendment)

This amendment concerns the classification of liabilities between current and noncurrent, as stated in paragraphs 69-76 of IAS 1 - "Presentation of Financial Statements."

  • (4) Disclosure initiative - Accounting policies (IAS 1 amendment)

This amendment is intended to improve disclosure of accounting policy, and provide more useful information to investors and other financial statement users.

  • (5) Definition of Accounting Estimates (IAS 8 amendment)

This amendment directly defines an accounting estimate, and introduces other amendments to IAS 8 - "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" to help businesses distinguish between change of accounting policy and change of accounting estimate.

  • (6) Deferred Income Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction (Amendment to IAS No. 12)

This amendment restricts the scope of the deferred income tax recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of IAS No. 12 "Income Tax". The exemption does not apply to transactions that produce the same amount of taxable and deductible temporary differences at the time of original recognition.

All above standards and interpretations announced by IASB but not yet approved by FSC shall become effective on dates announced by FSC. The Group is currently evaluating the potential impacts of newly announced/amended standards and interpretations listed in (1), and is unable to provide reasonable estimate of how the above standards or interpretations may affect the Group. Aside from the above, other newly announced/amended standards and interpretations have no material impact on the Group.

IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

1. Compliance statement

The consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, have been prepared in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and FSC-approved IAS 34 - "Interim Financial Reporting."

14

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Stark Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued) (All amounts in NTD thousands unless otherwise specified)

2. Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared based on historical cost, except for financial instruments carried at fair value. Unless otherwise specified, all amounts in the consolidated financial statements are presented in NTD thousands.

3. Consolidation overview

Basis of preparation for consolidated financial statements

The Company is considered to exercise control if it is exposed or entitled to variable returns generated by an investee and has the power to influence such return through control over the investee. Specifically, the Group considers itself to exercise control over an investee when all three conditions below are satisfied:

  • (1) Power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)

  • (2) Exposure or entitlement to variable returns due to involvement in the investee's operation, and

  • (3) Ability to influence returns by exercising authority over the investee

If the Company directly or indirectly holds less-than-majority voting rights (or rights of similar nature) in an investee, the Company would evaluate whether it has power over the investee after taking into consideration all relevant facts and circumstances, including:

  • (1) Agreement with other voting right holders in the investee

  • (2) Power given rise through other agreement

  • (3) Voting rights and potential voting rights

When facts or circumstances indicate change in one or several of the three control elements above, the Company would immediately evaluate whether it still exercises control over the investee.

A subsidiary is consolidated into the consolidated financial statements from the day of acquisition (i.e. the day the Company gains control), until the day control is lost on the subsidiary. All subsidiaries adopt accounting periods and accounting policies that align with those of the parent company. All intra-group account balances, transactions, dividends, and unrealized gains or losses on intra-group transactions are eliminated upon consolidation.

15

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Stark Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued) (All amounts in NTD thousands unless otherwise specified)

Changes in shareholding of subsidiary without losing control are treated as equity transactions.

Total comprehensive income produced by subsidiaries is divided into amounts that are attributable to owners of the Company and amounts that are attributable to non-controlling shareholders, even if the allocation would put non-controlling equity in negative balance.

When the Company loses control in a subsidiary

  • (1) All assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary are removed;

  • (2) Book value of any non-controlling equity is removed;

  • (3) Fair value of consideration received is recognized;

  • (4) Fair value of any investment retained is recognized;

  • (5) Any gains or losses are recognized in current profit or loss;

  • (6) Amounts previously recognized by the parent company as other comprehensive income are reclassified into current profit or loss;

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Stark Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued) (All amounts in NTD thousands unless otherwise specified)

Some of the non-material subsidiaries listed above were consolidated into the consolidated financial statements using financial statements that were not reviewed by CPAs. As at June 30, 2021 and 2020, these subsidiaries aggregated reported total assets of NT$354,299 thousand and NT$334,222 thousand and total liabilities of NT$23,163 thousand and NT$29,207 thousand, respectively; whereas comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled NT$7,002 thousand and NT$9,656 thousand, respectively and six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 totaled NT$12,496 thousand and NT$21,388 thousand, respectively.

  1. Except for the accounting policies stated in Note 4. 5 to 6, consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were prepared using the same accounting policies as those of 2020. Please refer to the Group's 2020 consolidated financial statements for summary of other significant accounting policies.

  2. Interim retirement costs are calculated from the beginning until the end of the interim period using the actuarial pension cost rate determined at the end of the previous year, and adjusted for major market changes, plan curtailments, settlements and other onetime events that took place in the current period.

  3. Income taxes for the interim period are accrued and disclosed using tax rate applicable for the Company's expected total earnings for the given year, or in other words, by applying the estimated average effective tax rate for the whole year to pre-tax profit for the interim period. Estimation of average annual effective tax rate only includes income tax expense for the current period; interim deferred income taxes are recognized and measured in the same manner as annual financial report, which follows IAS 12 - "Income Taxes." If tax rate changes in the interim period, the effect on deferred income tax is recognized in profit or loss, other comprehensive income, or directly through equity in one lump sum.

V. Sources of Uncertainty to Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates, and Assumptions

Consolidated financial statements for the six months ended June 30, 2021 were prepared using the same significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions as those of 2020. Please refer to the Group's 2020 consolidated financial statements for details.

According to regulations, capital surplus can not be used for any purpose other than reimbursing previous losses. If the Company has no cumulative losses, capital surpluses that arise from shares issued at premium and gifts received may be capitalized into share capital, up to a certain percentage of paid-in capital per year; these capital surpluses may also be distributed in cash among shareholders at the current ownership percentage.

(3) Earnings appropriation and dividend policy

According to the Articles of Incorporation, annual surpluses concluded by the Company are first subject to taxation and reimbursement of previous losses, followed by a 10% provision for legal reserve (unless legal reserves have accumulated to an amount equal to share capital). Any surpluses remaining shall then be subject to provision or reversal of special reserve, as the laws may require. The residual balance can then be added to unappropriated earnings carried from previous years and retained or distributed to shareholders as a form of profit sharing, subject to resolution in a shareholder meeting.

Shareholders' profit sharing can be paid in cash or shares; however, the cash portion shall be no less than 10% of total dividends.

The Company operates in the high-tech industry and is susceptible to the industry's enterprise life cycle. Dividends shall be allocated after taking into consideration several factors including: current and future investment environment, capital requirement, domestic/foreign competition, capital budget, shareholders' expectations, balanced dividends, and the Company's long-term financial plan. Dividend distribution plans are to be proposed by the board of directors and presented for final resolution in shareholder meeting on a yearly basis.

The Company will be required to provide additional special reserves to make up for the shortfall between the balance of special reserves provided during the first-time adoption of IFRS and the net balance of other contra equity items in years it decides to distribute available earnings. If there is any subsequent reversal of the net decrease in other equity, the reversed part of the net decrease in other equity may be reversed to the special reserve, and be distributed to investors.

In accordance with the order via a letter issued by the FSC on March 31, 2021 referenced Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa No. 1090150022, if the International Financial Reporting Standards is adopted for the first time, for the unrealized revaluation value addition and cumulative translation adjustment (benefit) in the account which are transferred to retained earnings due to the adoption of the exemption item of IFRS 1 "First Adoption of IFRS" on the conversion date, a special reserve shall be allocated. Subsequently, when the company uses, disposes of, or reclassifies the relevant assets, it may reverse the proportion of the original special reserve for distribution of earnings.

As at June 30, 2021, the Company had NT$144 thousand of special reserve that were provided due to first-time adoption of IFRS.

The Company's 2020 and 2019 earnings appropriation proposal and dividends per share were proposed and resolved during the board of directors meeting held on July 9, 2021 and the annual general meeting held on May 28, 2020 respectively. Details are as presented below:

Please see Note 12 for credit risk-related information.

All of the Group's contract assets and accounts receivable (including notes receivable, accounts receivable, and instalment accounts receivable) have loss provisions measured based on Lifetime expected credit losses. Credit loss is recognized as the difference between the book value of contract assets/accounts receivable and the present value of expected cash flow (prospective information). For short-term receivables, however, credit loss is not measured using present value difference as the effect of discounting is insignificant. Loss provisions as at June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020 are explained below:

Contract assets and accounts receivables are divided into groups based on counterparties' credit rating, location, and industry, and a provision matrix is used to measure loss provisions. Relevant details are presented below:

2. Purpose and policy of financial risk management

The Group has set its financial risk management goals to primarily manage market risks, credit risks, and liquidity risks relating to operating activities. The abovementioned risks are identified, measured, and managed according to the Group's policies and risk preference.

49

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Stark Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued) (All amounts in NTD thousands unless otherwise specified)

The Group has implemented appropriate policies, procedures, and internal controls for the management of financial risks mentioned above. All important financial activities are subject to review by the board of directors and audit committee in accordance with rules and the internal control system. The Group is required to duly comply with its financial risk management rules when carrying out financial management activities.

3. Market risk

Changes in the market price of financial instruments is the type of market risk that the Group is most concerned with. Market risk may cause fluctuation in the fair value or cash flow of financial instruments, and mainly includes exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk.

In practice, however, it is extremely rare to see only one risk variable changing at one time. Although risk variables tend to be correlated to some degree, the sensitivity analysis below has not taken into consideration the inter-correlation of risk variables.

Exchange rate risk

The Group’s exchange rate risk exposure is mainly associated with operating activities (when the currency of income or expense is different from the Group’s functional currency) and net investments in foreign operations.

Some of the Group's foreign currency receivables and foreign currency payables are denominated in the same currencies, which create natural hedge to some extent. However, the Group did not adopt hedge accounting as natural hedge does not conform with the requirements for hedge accounting. Meanwhile, net investments in foreign operations represent strategic investments, therefore the Group did not hedge this exposure.

Sensitivity analysis for exchange rate risk is conducted on monetary items denominated in key foreign currencies as at the balance sheet date, and the analysis evaluates how a strengthening/weakening of foreign currency affects the Group's profits and equity. Exchange rate risks of the Group are mainly attributed to the volatility of USD and RMB currencies. Sensitivity analysis for the two currencies is provided below:

50

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Stark Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued) (All amounts in NTD thousands unless otherwise specified)

If NTD strengthened/weakened against USD by 1%, profits for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 would have decreased/increased by NT$14 thousand and NT$15 thousand, whereas equity would have decreased/increased NT$122 thousand and NT$145 thousand, respectively.

If NTD strengthened/weakened against RMB by 1%, profits for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020 would have decreased/increased by NT$535 thousand and NT$749 thousand, respectively, and there would be no effect whatsoever on equity.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk refers to fluctuations in the fair value or future cash flow of a financial instrument due to changes in market interest rate. The Group's exposure to interest rate risk arises mainly from loans borrowed at floating rate. However, given that the Group currently has no such loan outstanding, it is not exposed to any material interest rate risk.

Equity price risk

The Group holds TWSE/TPEX listed as well as unlisted equity securities; the fair value of investments may be affected by uncertainties associated with the future value. All TWSE/TPEX listed and unlisted equity securities held by the Group are classified as equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Group manages equity price risk of equity securities through diversified investment and by setting investment limits on single and a portfolio of instruments. Information on portfolio of equity securities has to be provided to the Group's management on a regular basis; the board of directors is required to verify and approve all decisions concerning investment of equity securities.

A 10% rise/fall in the price of TWSE/TPEX listed shares held as equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income would have affected the Group's equity by NT$8,393 thousand and NT$9,494 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

4. Credit risk management

Credit risk refers to the possibility of financial losses suffered due to counterparties becoming unable to fulfill contractual obligations. The Group's credit risk exposure mainly arises from operating activities (primarily accounts receivable and notes receivable) and financing activities (primarily bank deposits and financial instruments).

51

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Stark Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued) (All amounts in NTD thousands unless otherwise specified)

All departments of the Group manage credit risks according to prevailing policies, procedures, and controls. Counterparty credit risk is evaluated after taking into consideration each counterparty's financial position, external credit rating, historical transactions, the current economic environment, and the Group's internal rating standards, etc. The Group uses credit enhancement tools (such as advanced receipt and insurance) at appropriate times to minimize credit risk of specific counterparties.

The Group's top 10 customers accounted for 37%, 33%, and 26% of total contract assets and accounts receivable balance as at June 30, 2021, December 31, 2020, and June 30, 2020, respectively. Judging by the above, there was no credit risk concentration in the Group's contract assets and accounts receivable.

The Finance Department manages credit risk of bank deposits and other financial instruments according to group policies. All counterparties of the Group are approved according to internal control procedures, and consist entirely of reputable banks, investmentgrade financial institutions, companies, and government agencies, hence no major credit risk exists.

The Group assesses expected credit losses according to IFRS 9. Information relating to credit risk assessment is presented below:

Note: The Group adopts the simplified approach (loss provision is measured based on Lifetime expected credit losses); the assessment covers contract assets, notes receivable, accounts receivable, and instalment accounts receivable.

5. Liquidity risk management

The Group uses cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities, bank loans, leases, and contracts to maintain financial flexibility.

7. Fair value of financial instruments

(1) Fair value assessment techniques and assumptions

Fair value refers to the price that market participants are able to receive for selling an asset, or the price that has to be paid to transfer a liability, in an orderly transaction on the measurement date. The Group has adopted the following techniques and assumptions when measuring and disclosing fair values of financial assets and liabilities:

  • A. Book value of cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables, and other current liabilities closely resemble their fair value due to their short maturity.

  • B. Financial assets and liabilities that are traded on active markets at standard terms and conditions shall have fair value determined by market quotation (e.g. TWSE/TPEX listed shares, beneficiary certificates, and bonds).

  • C. Equity instruments without active market (e.g. privately placed shares of TWSE/TPEX listed companies, shares of unlisted public and private companies without active market) shall have fair value estimated using the market approach, which infers fair values from transaction price or other relevant information (such as discount for lack of liquidity, P/E and P/B ratios of similar companies etc.) of same or comparable equity instruments.

  • D. For debt instruments without quotation in active market, bank loans, and other noncurrent liabilities, fair value is determined by counterparty's quotation or through the use of valuation technique. The valuation technique takes a discounted cash flow approach, and assumptions such as interest rate and discount rate are established in reference to instruments of similar nature.

54

Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements of Stark Technology Inc. and Subsidiaries (Continued) (All amounts in NTD thousands unless otherwise specified)

(2) Fair value of financial instruments carried at cost after amortization

Book value of financial assets and liabilities carried at cost after amortization closely resemble their fair value.

(3) Fair value hierarchy for financial instruments

See Note 12.8 for information relating to fair value hierarchy for financial instruments.

8. Fair value hierarchy

(1) Definition of fair value hierarchy

For all assets and liabilities measured or disclosed at fair value, fair value measurement is categorized in their entirety in the level of the lowest level input that is significant to the entire measurement. The different levels of inputs used are explained below:

Level 1 input: Quotations that can be obtained from an active market (unadjusted) on the measurement date for asset or liability of equivalent nature. Level 2 input: Inputs that can be observed directly or indirectly on an asset or liability, except for quotations covered in level 1 input. Level 3 input: Inputs that can not be observed for an asset or liability.

Assets and liabilities that are recognized on financial statements on a recurring basis shall have classification reassessed on each balance sheet date to determine if transfer of fair value hierarchy has taken place.

(2) Information on fair value hierarchy

The Company did not have any asset that is measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Hierarchy of assets and liabilities with recurring fair value measurement is explained below:
