New standards, interpretations and amendments endorsed by the FSC and effective from 2023 are as follows:

Effective Date
Announced
New
IFRSs
by IASB
Amendments to IAS 1 "Disclosure of Accounting Policies" January 1, 2023 (Note 1)
Amendments to IAS 8 "Definition of Accounting January 1, 2023 (Note 2)
Estimates"
Amendment to IAS 12 "Deferred Tax Related to Assets January 1, 2023 (Note 3)
and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction"
Amendments to IAS 12 "International Tax Reform - (Note 4)
Pillar Two Model Rules"
  • Note 1: The amendments will be applied prospectively for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023.
  • Note 2: The amendments are applicable to changes in accounting estimates and changes in accounting policies that occur on or after the beginning of the annual reporting period beginning on or after January 1, 2023.

  • Note 3: Except for otherwise specified with for temporary differences associated with leases and decommissioning obligations, the amendments will be applied prospectively to transactions that occur on or after January 1, 2022.

  • Note 4: As a temporary exception under IAS 12, the company shall not recognize deferred income tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income tax, nor shall it disclose their related information. However, the company shall disclose in its financial report that it has already applied this exception. The company shall apply this part of the amendment retrospectively in accordance with IAS 8 since its issuance date (i.e. May 23, 2023). The company shall apply the remaining disclosure requirements for the annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2023 and needs not to disclose such information in its interim reports with a reporting dates ending before or on December 31, 2023.
  • A. Amendments to IAS 1 "Disclosure of Accounting Policies"

This amendment clarifies that when the size or nature of a transaction, other event or condition is material, and the related accounting policy information is also material to the financial report, the related material accounting policy information shall be disclosed. Conversely, if the company determines that the size or nature of a transaction, other event or condition is not material, or that the size or nature of a transaction is material but the related accounting policy information is not material, it does not need to disclose those immaterial accounting policy information. However, the company's conclusion that accounting policy information is immaterial does not affect the relevant disclosures required by other IFRS standards.

B. Amendments to IAS 8 "Definition of Accounting Estimates"

This amendment defines accounting estimates as the monetary amount of financial statements subject to measurement uncertainty, and provides further explanations that, except for corrections due to errors in the previous period, the impact of changes in input values or measurement techniques on accounting estimates is a change in accounting estimates.

C. Amendment to IAS 12 "Deferred Tax Related to Assets and Liabilities Arising from a Single Transaction"

The amendments narrow the scope of the recognition exemption in paragraphs 15 and 24 of IAS 12 so that it no longer applies to transactions that, on initial recognition, give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. When the Company initially applies the amendments, it will recognize the cumulative effect of applying the amendments initially as an adjustment to the opening balance of the retained earnings (or other components of equity, as appropriate) at the beginning of the earliest presented period for all deductible and taxable temporary differences associated with leases and decommissioning, and will prospectively apply the amendments for other transactions occurred on or after January 1, 2022.

As of the date the accompany consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue, the Company is still evaluating the impact on its financial position and financial performance as a result of the initial adoption of the aforementioned standards or interpretations. The related impact will be disclosed when the Company completes the evaluation.

D. Amendments to IAS 12 "International Tax Reform - Pillar Two Model Rules"

The amendments stipulates that, as a temporary exception to IAS 12, Company shall neither recognize nor disclose information about deferred income tax assets and liabilities for Pillar Two income tax relating to international tax reform; however, Company shall disclose in its financial reports that it has applied this exception. In addition, Company shall separately disclose its current income tax expenses (benefits) relating to Pillar Two income tax. If the Pillar Two bill has been enacted or has been substantively enacted but has not yet taken effect, Company should disclose qualitative and quantitative information on its exposure to Pillar Two income tax that is known or can be reasonably estimated.

The Company has evaluated the aforementioned standards and interpretations, and there is no significant effect on the Company's financial position and performance.

(2) Effect of new issuances or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted

Effective Date
Announced
New
IFRSs
by IASB
Amendments to IFRS 16 "Lease liabilities in sale and January 1, 2024 (Note 1)
leaseback"
Amendments to IAS 1 "Classification of Liabilities as January 1, 2024
Current or Noncurrent"
Amendments to IAS 1 "Non-current Liabilities with January 1, 2024
Covenants "
"Supplier finance
Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7
January 1, 2024(Note 2)
arrangements "
  • Note 1: The seller-lessee shall apply the amendments retroactively in accordance with IAS 8 for the sale and leaseback transactions made after the initial application of IFRS 16.
  • Note 2: This amendment provides certain transitional reliefs. When initially appling the amendment, Company are not required to disclose comparative information and interim period information, as well as opening information required by paragraph 44H(b)(ii)-(iii).

A.Amendments to IFRS 16 "Lease liability in a sale and leaseback"

This amendment clarifies that for a sale and leaseback transaction, if the transfer of the asset is treated as a sale in accordance with IFRS 15, the liabilities incurred by the seller and lessee due to the leaseback should be treated in accordance with IFRS 16

regarding lease liabilities; however, if variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or rate are involved, the seller-lessee should still determine and recognize the lease liability arising from such variable payments in a manner that does not recognize gains and losses related to the retained right of use. The difference between the subsequent actual lease payment amount and the reduced carrying amount of the lease liability is recognized in profit or loss.

B.Amendments to IAS 1 "Classification of Liabilities as Current or Noncurrent "

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

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

C. Amendment to IAS 1 "Non-current Liabilities with Covenants "

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

D.Amendments to IAS 7 and IFRS 7 "Supplier finance arrangements "

Supplier financing arrangements involve one or more financing providers making payments to suppliers on behalf of Company, and Company agrees to repay the financing providers on the payment date agreed with the suppliers or a later date. The amendments to IAS 7 require Company to disclose information on its supplier financing arrangements to enable users of financial statements to assess the impact of these arrangements on Company's liabilities, cash flows and exposure to liquidity. The amendments to IFRS 7 include into its application guidance that when

disclosing how Company manages the liquidity risk of its financial liabilities, it may also consider whether it has obtained or can obtain financing facilities through supplier financing arrangements, and whether these arrangements may cause concentration of liquidity risk.

The Company has evaluated the aforementioned standards and interpretations, and there is no significant effect to the Company's financial position and performance

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these parent company only financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

(1) Compliance statement

The accompanying parent company only financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

  • (2) Basis of preparation
  • A.Except for the following items, the accompany parent company only financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

    • a. Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
    • b. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income or loss.
    • c. Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.
  • B.The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the parent company only financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

  • C.When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company accounts for subsidiaries and associates by using the equity method. In order to agree with the amount of net income, other comprehensive income and equity attributable to shareholders of the parent in the consolidated financial statements, the differences of the accounting treatment between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis are adjusted under the heading of investments accounted for using equity method, share of profits of subsidiaries and associates and share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and associates in the parent company only financial statements.

(3) Foreign currency translation

  • A. Foreign currency transactions and balance
  • a.Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
  • b.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.
  • c.Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the year except for exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currencies are not retranslated.
  • B. Translation of foreign operations
  • a.The operating results and financial position of all the Company's subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
    • (a) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the

closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;

  • (b) Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
  • (c) All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
  • b.When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate or a joint venture, exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when the Company retains partial interest in the former foreign associate or joint venture after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate or joint venture, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.
  • c.When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Company retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.
  • (4) Classification of current and non-current items
  • A.Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
    • a. Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
    • b. Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
    • c. Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
    • d. Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
  • B.Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
    • a. Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;
    • b. Liabilities held mainly for trading purposes;
    • c. Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date (Even if a long-term refinancing or re-arrangement of payment agreements is completed after the balance sheet date and before the issuance of the financial report is approved, it is classified as current liabilities).
    • d. Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity

instruments do not affect its classification.

(5) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value (including the original maturity of the time deposits within three months.)

(6) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized initially at fair value plus or minus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

A. Financial assets

a. Category of financial assets

Financial assets are recognized on a trade date basis.

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at amortized cost.

(a) Financial asset at FVTPL

For certain financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily and designated classified. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

The Company, at initial recognition, irrevocably designate a financial asset as measured at fair value through profit or loss if doing so eliminates or significantly reduces a measurement or recognition inconsistency (sometimes referred to as an 'accountingmismatch') that would otherwise arise from measuring assets or liabilities or recognising the gains and losses on them on different bases.

Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value, dividends generated are recognized in other income, and interest income and gains or losses arising from remeasurement are recognized in other gains and losses. For the determination of fair value, please refer to Note 12.

(b) Financial assets at amortized cost

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

i. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to

hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

ii. The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified date to cash flow that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Financial assets at amortized cost, which equals to gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Expect for the following two cases, interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset:

  • i. Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets: for those financial assets, the Company applies the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from initial recognition.
  • ii. Financial assets that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets but subsequently have become credit-impaired financial assets: for those financial assets, the Company shall apply the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset in subsequent reporting periods.
  • (c) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

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

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

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

  • b. Impairment of financial assets
  • (a) At the end of each reporting period, a loss allowance for expected credit loss is recognized for financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable), investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, lease receivable and contract assets.
  • (b) The Company always recognize lifetime Expected Credit Loss (i.e. ECL) for accounts receivables. For other financial assets, the Company recognize lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the financial

instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equaling to 12-month ECL.

  • (c) Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring as the weights. 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. In contrast, lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
  • (d) The Company recognizes an impairment loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and does not reduce the carrying amount of the financial asset.
  • c. Derecognition of financial assets

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

  • (a) The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expire.
  • (b) The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have been transferred and the Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
  • (c) The Company neither retains nor transfers substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; however, it has not retained control of the financial asset.

On derecognition of financial assets at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the financial asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of debt instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the difference between the financial asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income in its entirety, the cumulative profit and loss will be transferred directly to retained earning without reclassified into profit and loss.

B. Equity instruments

The Company classifies the instrument issued as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability, and an equity instrument. An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity to the extent they are incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction that otherwise would have been avoided.

  • C. Financial liabilities
  • a. Subsequent measurement

Except for the following conditions, all financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost in accordance with the effective interest method:

  • (a) Financial liabilities are classified as at fair value through profit or loss when the financial liability is either held for trading or is designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities classified as held for trading are mainly for repurchasing in the short term when they occur, and derivatives other than financial guarantee contracts or designated and effective hedging instruments. Financial assets meet one of the following conditions, the Company designates them as measured at fair value through profit and loss at the time of initial recognition:
  • i. It is a mixed (combined) contracts containing at least an embedded derivaties and the host contract is an asset not within the scope of IFRS 9; or
  • ii. It can eliminate or significantly reduce measurement or recognition inconsistencies; or
  • iii. It is an instrument that manages and evaluates its performance on a fair value basis based on written risk management or investment strategies.
  • b. Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when, and only when, the Company's obligations are discharged, cancelled or they expire. The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

D. Modification of Financial Instruments

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

If the basis for determining the contractual cash flows of a financial asset or financial

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

(7) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, accounted for on a perpetual basis. Cost is determined using the weighted average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and costs necessary to make the sale.

  • (8) Investments accounted for using the equity method / subsidiaries
  • A.Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
  • B.Unrealized gains or losses resulting from inter-company transactions with subsidiaries are eliminated. Necessary adjustments are made to the accounting policies of subsidiaries, to be consistent with the accounting policies of the Company.
  • C.After acquisition of subsidiaries, the Company recognizes proportionately the share of profit and loss and other comprehensive income in the income statement as part of the Company's profit and loss and other comprehensive income, respectively. When the share of loss from a subsidiary exceeds the carrying amount of Company's interest in that subsidiary, the Company continues to recognize its share in the subsidiary's loss proportionately.
  • D.As long as the change in shareholding in the subsidiaries does not lead to loss of control, it is to be treated as equity transaction that is to be treated as transactions between the owners. The difference between non-controlling equity adjustment amount and the fair value of payment and receipt is to be recognized as equity.
  • E.When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, it recognizes the investment retained

in the former subsidiary at its fair value at the date when control is lost. The difference between the fair value of the retained investment plus any consideration received and the carrying amount of the previous investment at the date when control is lost is recognized as a gain or loss in profit or loss. Besides, the Company accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that subsidiary on the same basis as would be required if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. It should reclassify the amount previously recognized in other comprehensive income to profit or loss. When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, gain or loss previously recognized in equity should be reclassified to profit or loss.

  • F. Pursuant to the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers," profit (loss) of the current period and other comprehensive income in the parent company only financial statements shall equal to the amount attributable to owners of the parent in the consolidated financial statements. Owners' equity in the parent company only financial statements shall equal to equity attributable to owners of the parent in the consolidated financial statements.
  • (9) Property, plant and equipment
  • A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized. For property, plant and equipment under construction, sample produced from testing whether the asset is functioning properly before its intended use are measured at lower of the costs or net realizable value. Proceeds from selling such an item and the cost of the item are recognized in profit or loss.
  • B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
  • C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets' residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets' future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in accounting estimate under IAS 8, "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors", from the date of the change. Service lives estimated as follows:

Buildings:

Main building, 20 to 57 years; Others, 2 to 39 years; Machinery and equipment, 2 to 10 years; Other equipment, 2 to 24 years; Leasehold improvement, 2 to 22 years;

D.An item of property, plant and equipment is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected to arise from the continued use of the assets. Any gain or loss arising on the disposal or retirement of an item of property, plant and equipment is determined as the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and is recognized in profit or loss.

(10)Leases/The Company as a lessee

The Company assesses whether the contract is (or includes) a lease at the date of the contract. For a contract that includes a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Company will allocate the consideration to the lease component base on the individual price of each lease component and the aggregated individual price of the non-lease component.

Except for payments for low-value asset and short-term leases which will be recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis, the Company will recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the inception of lease.

Right-of-use asset

The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost (including the initial measurement amount of the lease liability, the payments less incentives, initial direct costs and the estimated recover cost), the subsequent measurement is based on the cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, and adjusting the amount of re-measures of lease liabilities.

The right-of-use asset recognized depreciation is using the straight-line basis from the date of the lease until the expiration of the useful life or the expiration of the lease term, the depreciation is provided that the title of the underlying asset will be acquired at the end of the lease period or, if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects the execution of the purchase option.

Lease liability

The lease liability is initially measured by the present value of the lease payment (including fixed payment, substantive fixed payment, change in lease payment depending on the index or rate, etc.). If the implied interest rate on the lease is easy to determine, the lease payment is discounted using that interest rate. If the interest rate is not easy to determine, the lessee's increase borrowing rate is used.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. If the lease period, the evaluation of the purchase choice, the amount of expected to be paid under the residual value guarantee or the change in the index or rate used to determine the lease payment result in a change in the future lease payment, the Company will measure the lease liability and adjust the right to use assets relatively. If the carrying amount has been reduced to Zero, the remaining amount will recognize in the profit and loss. Lease liabilities are presented in a single-line project on the parent company only balance sheet.

(11)Investment properties

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

Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.

Investment properties in the course of construction are stated at cost less accumulated impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Depreciation of these assets commences when the assets are ready for their intended use.

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

(12)Intangible assets

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the following estimated lives: computer software - 2 to 15 years; trademarks are the economic benefit or contract period. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.

Intangible assets are derecognized when disposed of or expected to have no future economic benefits generated through usage or disposal. 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.

(13)Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist, the impairment loss shall be reversed to the extent of the loss previously recognized in profit or loss.

(14)Provisions

Provisions are recognized when the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.

(15)Employee benefits

A.Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render service.

B.Pensions

a. Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  • b. Defined benefit plans
  • (a) Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Company in current period or prior period. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets, together with adjustments for unrecognized past service costs. The defined benefit net obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability;

when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Company uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.

  • (b) Actuarial gains and losses arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
  • (c) Past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
  • C. Employees' bonus and directors' remuneration

Employees' bonus and directors' remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. However, if the accrued amounts for employees' bonus and directors' remuneration are different from the actual distributed amounts as resolved by the shareholders at their shareholders' meeting subsequently, the differences should be recognized based on the accounting for changes in estimates.

D. Termination benefits

Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of employment as a result from either the Company's decision to terminate an employee's employment before the normal retirement date, or an employee's decision to accept an offer of redundancy benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The Company recognizes expense when it can no longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits or it recognizes related restructuring costs, whichever is earlier. Benefits that are expected to be due more than 12 months after balance sheet date shall be discounted to their present value.

  • (16)Share capital and treasury shares
  • A.Share capital

Ordinary share is classified as equity. The classification of the preferred stock depends on the essence of the agreement. If the preferred stock matches the definition of the financial liability, it is classified as a liability. Otherwise, it is classified as equity. Incremental cost that can be attributed to the issuance of stocks or options is deducted from the capital issued.

B.Treasury Shares

When the Company acquires its outstanding shares, the repurchase considerations (including all directly accountable costs) are recognized under treasury shares and shown as a deduction in equity. Gains on disposal of treasury shares should be recognized under "capital surplus - treasury stock transactions"; losses on disposal of treasury shares should be offset against existing capital reserves arising from similar types of treasury shares. If there is insufficient capital surplus to offset the losses, then such losses should be accounted for under retained earnings. The carrying amount of treasury shares should be calculated using the weighted-average method for the

purpose of repurchased shares.

When the Company's treasury shares are retired, the treasury share account should be credited, and the capital surplus - premium on stock account and capital stock account should be debited proportionately according to the share ratio. The carrying value of treasury shares in excess of the sum of its par value and premium on stock should first be offset against capital surplus from similar types of treasury share transactions, and the remainder, if any, debited to retained earnings. The sum of the par value and premium on treasury shares in excess of its carrying value should be credited to capital surplus from similar types of treasury share transactions.

  • (17)Share-based payment transactions
  • A.For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognized as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. And ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognized is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
  • B.Cash-settle share-based payment arrangements are the fair value of liabilities undertaken recognized in remuneration costs and liabilities in the vesting period and measured by the fair value of equity instruments offered at each balance sheet date and the settlement date. Any changes are recognized in profit or loss.

(18)Income tax

  • A.The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity, respectively.
  • B.The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the subsequent year when the stockholders resolve to distribute retain the earnings.

  • C.Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the parent company only financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss, and it does not give rise to equal deductible and taxable temporary differences at the time of transaction. And it does not give rise to equal deductible and taxable temporary differences at the time of transaction. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

  • D.Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
  • E.Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
  • F.Tax preference given for expenditures incurred on acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development, employees' training and equity investments is recorded using the income tax credits accounting.

(19)Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes revenues based on the following steps:

  • A.Identifying the contracts;
  • B.Identifying obligations in the contracts;
  • C. Determining prices;
  • D.Allocating prices into the obligations in the contracts;
  • E. Recognizing revenues while fulfilling the obligations.

The Company identify the contract with the customers, allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognize revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

The Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for the effects of a significant financing component if the period between when the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less.

A.Goods sales

The Company sells fans and other relevant products. Sales revenues are recognized while the control of goods is transferred to the customers since the customers already have the rights to use, set price, take the major responsibility to resell the good and bear the risk of obsoleteness. The Company recognizes revenues and accounts receivable at the point and presents it in net term after deducting sales return, quantity discount and sales allowance.

The Company does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of risks and rewards of materials ownership.

B.Service revenue

Revenue from technical services is recognized when services are provided that in accordance with the relevant agreements.

(20)Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

All borrowing costs other than those stated above are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

(21)Government subsidy

Government subsidies are recognized at fair value when it is reasonably certain that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the government subsidies and will receive such subsidies.

Government subsidies are recognized in profit and loss on a systematic basis during the period when the relevant costs that they intend to compensate are recognized as expenses by the company. If government subsidy is used to compensate for expenses or losses that have occurred, or for the purpose of providing the Company with immediate financial support and there is no future related cost, it is recognized in the profit and loss during the period when it can be received. Government subsidies related to property, plant and equipment are recognized as non-current liabilities, and recognized as profits and losses on a straight-line basis based on the estimated useful life of the relevant assets.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of the Company's parent company only financial statements is adopting accounting policies based on the following significant judgements, significant accounting estimates and assumptions:

  • (1) Critical judgements in applying accounting policies
  • A. Judgment of financial asset classification

The Company assesses the business model of financial assets based on the hierarchy that reflects the Company of financial assets that are jointly managed for specific business purposes. This assessment requires consideration of all relevant evidence, including measures of asset performance, risks affecting performance, and the manner in which the relevant managers are determined, and judgments are required. The Company continues to assess the adequacy of its business model and monitors the financial assets measured by the amortized cost before the maturity date and the debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income. Evaluate whether the disciplinary action has the same goal of business model. If the business model has been changed, the Company delays the adjustment of the subsequent classification of financial assets. The Company reclassifies financial assets in accordance with IFRS 9, and the application will be postponed from the date of reclassification, if the business model has changed.

B. Revenue recognition

The Company follows IFRS 15 to determine if it controls the specified good or service before that good or service is transferred to the customer, and the Company is acting as a principal or an agent in that transaction. When the Company acts as an agent, revenue is recognized on a net basis.

The Company acts as a principal as that it meets one the of following situations:

  • a. The Company gains control over the goods from the other party before transferring goods to customers.
  • b. The Company controls the right of providing service by the other party in order to control the ability of the party to provide service to customers.
  • c. The Company gain control over goods or service from the other party in order to combine with other goods or services to provide specific goods or services to customers.

The indicators (not limited to) which assist making judgment on whether the Company controls the goods or services before transferring goods or services to customers:

  • a. The Company has primary responsibilities for the goods or services it provides;
  • b. The Company bears inventory risk before transferring the specific goods or services to customer, or after transferring the control to customer.
  • c. The Company has the discretion to set prices.

C. Lease term

In determining the lease term, the Company considers all the facts and circumstances that create an economic incentive to exercise (or not exercise) on option, including any expected change in facts and circumstances from the commencement date until the exercise date of the option Main. Factors considered include the contractual terms and conditions for the period covered by the option, the significant leasehold improvements made (or expected) during the contract period, and the importance of the underlying assets to the Company's operations, etc. The lease term is reassessed if a significant change in circumstance that are within the control of the Company occurs.

(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

A. Revenue Recognition

The Company recognizes records a refund for estimated future returns and other allowances in the same period the related revenue is recorded. Refund for estimated sales returns and other allowances is generally made and adjusted at a specific percentage based on historical experience and any known factors that would significantly affect the allowance, and our management periodically reviews the adequacy of the percentage used.

B. Estimated impairment of financial assets

The provision for impairment of trade receivables is based on assumptions about risk of default and expected loss rates. The Company uses judgement in making these assumptions and in selecting the inputs to the impairment calculation, based on the Company's past history, existing market conditions as well as forward looking estimates at the end of each reporting period. Where the actual future cash inflows are less than expected, a material impairment loss may arise.

C. Process of fair value measurement and evaluation

When the assets and liabilities at fair value with no active market, the Company determines whether to use outside appraisal and using proper evaluation techniques based on related regulation or its own judgment. If the Level 1 input value is not available while evaluating, the Company refers to the analysis of the investee's financial position and operating outcome, recent trading price, quotes on non-active market of same equity instrument, quotes on active market of similar equity instrument and evaluation multiples of comparable companies. If the future input value is different from expectation, the fair value might change. The Company updates input values quarterly according to the market status in order to monitor if the measurement of fair value is appropriate.

D. Impairment assessment of tangible and intangible assets

The Company assesses impairment based on its subjective judgement and determines the separate cash flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilised and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Company strategy might cause material impairment on assets in the future.

E. Impairment assessment on investment using equity method

The Company assesses the impairment of investments accounted for using the equity method whenever triggering events or changes in circumstances indicate that an investment may be impaired and carrying value is not be recoverable. The Company assesses the recoverable amount based on a projected future cash flow and receivable cash dividend of the investees, and disposal-generating future cash flow to ensure the reasonableness of such assumptions.

F. Realisability of deferred income tax assets

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. Assessment of the realisability of deferred income tax assets involves critical accounting judgements and estimates of the management, including the assumptions of expected future sales revenue growth rate and profit rate, tax exempt duration, available tax credits, tax planning, etc. Any variations in global economic environment, industrial environment, laws, and regulations might cause material adjustments to deferred income tax assets.

G. Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Company must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. The Company evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value.

H. Calculation of accrued pension obligations

When calculating the present value of defined pension obligations, the Company must apply judgments and estimates to determine the actuarial assumptions on balance sheet date, including discount rates and future salary growth rate. Any changes in these assumptions may have a significantly impact on the carrying amount of defined pension obligations.

I. Lessees' incremental borrowing rates

At the time of the decision to increase the borrowing rate of the lessee used in the lease payment, the risk-free interest rate and the same currency is used as the reference rate, and the estimated lessee's credit risk sticker and lease specific adjustments (such as asset-specific and secured factors) are taken into account.

  • d. Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:
  • (a) Investment risk

The pension funds are invested in equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the government's designated authorities or under the mandated management. However, under the Labor Standards Law, the rate of return on assets shall not be less than the average interest rate on a two-year time deposit published by the local banks and the government is responsible for any shortfall in the event that the rate of return is less than the required rate of return.

(b) Interest risk

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

(c) Salary risk

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

e. The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The principal assumptions of the actuarial valuation were as follows:

Measurement Date
December
31, 2023
December
31, 2022
Discount rate 1.375% 1.375%
Future salary increase rate 2% 2%
The weighted average duration of the 11.3
years
11.7
years
defined benefit obligation
  • (a) Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set based on actuarial valuation in accordance with the 6th version of Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Tables.
  • (b) If possible reasonable change 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
Item 2023 2022
Discount Rate
0.25% higher (\$2,055) (\$2,110)
0.25% lower \$2,134 \$2,195
Expected rates of salary increase
0.25% higher \$2,081 \$2,140
0.25% lower (\$2,015) (\$2,068)

The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.

E. The Company expects to make contributions of \$7,200 thousand to the defined benefit plans for the year ended December 31, 2024.

(1) Capital risk management

The Company should maintain an adequate capital structure to enable the expansion and enhancement of equipment. Therefore, the Company manages its capital in a manner to ensure that it has sufficient and necessary financial resources to fund its working capital needs, capital asset purchases and debt service requirements associated with its existing operations over the next 12 months.

  • (2) Financial instruments
  • A. Financial risk of financial instruments

Financial risk management policies

The Company's activities expose to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. To lower down the related financial risk, the Company's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Company's financial position and financial performance.

The plans for material treasury activities are reviewed by board of directors in accordance with procedures required by relevant regulations or internal controls. During the implementation of such plans, the Company Treasury function must comply with certain treasury procedures that provide guiding principles for overall financial risk management and segregation of duties.

Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks

  • a. Market risk
  • (a) Foreign exchange rate risk

The Company's functional currency is New Taiwan dollars. Many of the Company's operating activities are denominated in foreign currencies. Consequently, the Company is exposed to foreign currency risk. To protect against reductions in value and the volatility of future cash flows caused by changes in foreign exchange rates, the Company raises loans denominated in foreign currency and derivative financial instruments to hedge the currency exposure. These instruments help to reduce, but do not eliminate, the impact of foreign currency exchange rate movements. The derivative financial instruments the Company held with maturities less than 3 months are not qualified for hedge accounting. The net investment in foreign operation is strategic investment. Therefore, the Company does no hedge for it.

The details of unrealized exchange gain (loss) for monetary items due to material exchange rate fluctuation were as follow:

b. Price risk

The Company is exposed to equity instrument price risk because the investments held by the Company are classified on the consolidated balance sheet as at fair value through profit or loss.

The Company is exposed to beneficiary certificates. If the price of the Company's equity investments rises (or falls) 1%, the other comprehensive income from equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income or loss will increase (or decrease) 247 thousand and 0 thousand for the nine months ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

c. Interest rate risk

The carrying amount of the financial assets and liabilities that exposed to interest rate risk as reporting date was as follow:

Carrying Value
Item December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022
Fair value interest rate risk:
Financial assets \$
-
\$
-
Financial liabilities (23,662) (22,580)
Net (\$23,662) (\$22,580)
Cash flow interest rate risk:
Financial assets \$2,171,970 \$399,999
Financial liabilities (266,667) (1,150,556)
Net \$1,905,303 (\$750,557)

(a) Sensitivity analysis of fair value interest rate risk tools

The Company does not classify any fixed-rate instruments as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. In addition, the Company does not designate derivatives (interest rate swap) as hedge instruments under hedge accounting. Therefore, the change of interest rate at reporting date does not have influence on net income and other comprehensive income.

(b) Sensitivity analysis of cash flow interest rate risk tools

The Company's financial instruments with variable interest rate are those with floating-rate. If interest rate increases 1%, the net income will decrease \$19,053 thousand and (\$7,506) thousand for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.

B. Credit risk

Credit risk is the risk that counterparty will not meet its obligations under a contract leading to a financial loss to the Company. The Company is exposed to credit risk from operating activities, primarily accounts receivables, and from investing activities, primarily deposit and other financial instruments. Credit risk is managed separately for business related and financial related exposures.

a. Business related credit risk

In order to maintain the credit quality of accounts receivables, the Company has established procedures to monitor and limit exposure to credit risk on trade receivables. Credit evaluation is performed in the consideration of the relevant factors which may affects the customer's paying ability such as financial condition, external and internal credit scoring, historical experience, and economic conditions.

b. Financial credit risk

The Company's exposure to financial credit risk which pertained to bank deposits and other financial instruments were evaluated and monitored by Company Treasury function. The Company only deals with creditworthy counterparties, banks, and government so that no significant credit risk was identified. In addition, the Company has no financial assets at amortized and investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.

(a) Credit concentration risk

As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company's ten largest customers accounted for 50.69% and 60.54% of accounts receivable, respectively. The Company believes the concentration of credit risk is insignificant for the remaining accounts receivable.

The Company continuously evaluated customers' financial situation. To reduce major credit risk, the Company bought credit guarantee insurance, and asked customers to make payment in advance.

  • (b) Expected credit loss measurement
  • i. Account receivables adopts a simplified approach, please prefer to Note 6(4).
  • ii. Identification basis for whether credit risk is significantly increased: None (the Company didn't hold debt instruments at amortized cost or at FVTOCI).
  • c. Collaterals and other credit enhancement held to avoid credit risks from financial assets.

(3) Fair value information

  • A. Details of the fair value of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value are provided in Note 12(3)C. Details of the fair value of the Company's investment property measured at cost are provided in Note 6(10).
  • B. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
  • Level 1: Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Company's investment in listed stocks, beneficiary certificates, on-the-run Taiwan central government bonds and derivative instruments with quoted market prices is included in Level 1.
  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Company's investments in government bonds, corporate bonds, financial debentures, convertible bonds, and most derivative instruments is included in Level 2.

  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Company's investments in some derivative instruments and equity instruments without active market is included in Level 3.

  • C. Financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

The Company considers that the carrying amounts of financial instruments except those listed in the table below, including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, other financial assets, refundable deposits, short-term loans, payables, long-term loans and guarantee deposits that are not measured at fair value approximate their fair values.

D. The related information of fair value by level

The related information of financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis by level is as follows:

Total \$ - \$ - \$24,675 \$24,675

December 31, 2022:None.

  • E. Valuation techniques of financial instruments valued at fair value
  • (a) The fair value of financial assets and liabilities traded in an active market is based on the quoted market prices. The quotation, which is published by the main exchange center or that which was deemed to be a public bond by the Treasury Bureau of Center Bank, is included in the fair value of the listed securities instruments and the debt instruments in active markets with open bid.

A financial instrument is regarded as the quoted price in an active market if the quoted prices are readily and regularly available from an exchange, dealer, broker, industry group, pricing service or regulatory agency; and if those prices represent the actual and regularly occurring market transactions on an arm's length basis. Otherwise, the market is deemed to be inactive. Normally, a market is considered to be inactive when the bid-ask spread is increasing; or the bid-ask spread varies significantly; or there has been a significant decline in trading volume.

(b) Except for the above-mentioned financial instruments traded in an active market, the fair value is based on the valuation techniques or the quotation from the counterparty. The fair value refers to the current fair value of the other financial instruments with similar conditions and characteristics, using a discounted cash flow analysis or other valuation techniques, such as calculations of using models, based on the information acquired from the market at the balance sheet date.

When the financial instrument of the Company is not traded in an active market, the fair value is determined based on the ratio of the quoted market price of the comparative company, its book value per share and its operating situation. Also, the fair value is discounted for its lack of liquidity in the market.

The assets measured by the fair value of the third level of the fair value hierarchy of the Company are used to measure the significant unobservable inputs of fair value.

H. Valuation process for Level 3 fair value measurement:

Such valuation results are regularly reviewed so as to ensure their reasonableness.
