III. Impacts by the external competitive environment, regulatory environment and general economic environment

Recently, the economic situation is affected by the mutated virus, the war between Russia and Ukraine, high inflation and climate change, etc. Major economies have started a cycle of interest rate increases to combat inflation, and high interest rates have affected corporate investment intentions. The Taiwan Institute of Economic Research (TIER) observed that the weakening global economic demand has affected the performance of Taiwan's foreign trade, and the growth of private investment has slowed down significantly.Fortunately, the government's public construction budget is at a record high, and private consumption remains strong, so both the private sector and the government will work together to support Taiwan’s economy, and the domestic economic growth rate is forecasted to be 2.58% for 2023.

With the rapid changes in the global market, the rise of the digital transformation and the shift of paradigms, how to guide the industry to develop cross-domain software application services in response to the market demand and follow the government's innovative industrial policies to enhance the competitiveness of Taiwan's information service and software industries is indeed an important challenge for the development of the industry. Under this trend, many industries are gradually evolving along the direction of smart manufacturing, smart medical care, and smart retail, and emerging technologies such as cloud computing, artificial intelligence, and information security are highly valued by enterprises whereas information software and service providers are key players in facilitating the adoption of these emerging technologies.

IDC's forecast of the top 10 trends in Taiwan's ICT market for 2023 indicates that as the industries have entered the as a service economic structure, it is increasingly important to optimize operations and develop innovative digital businesses. Investments in technologies and IT will be the main driving force for enterprises to sustain economic shocks and develop their digital businesses. The top 10 trends include:

  • (1) Digital Sovereignty.

  • (2) Acceleration of automation applications and implementation of multimodal AI adoption.

  • (3) The next wave of network security revolution - software traceability.

  • (4) Supply chain restructuring and new competition.

  • (5) Geopolitics accelerates the development of low-orbiting satellites.

  • (6) The Multiverse is moving toward the trend where the big ones get bigger.

  • (7) Multivariate and multi-stage adoption of digital twin.

  • (8) The post-pandemic economy accelerates the cloud transformation of SMEs and information service providers.

  • (9) Formation of future consumers.

3

  • (10) The change of payment method under the wave of digital population drives the development of B2C industry.

IV. The Company's future development strategy

  1. Short-term development plan

  2. (1) Integrate various system management tools to continuously improve efficiency and quality.

  3. (2) Expand sales of core products and services to increase overall profitability.

  4. (3) Integrate 5G, AIoT, information security, big data and cloud technologies to develop a data economy.

  5. (4) Develop transportation, security and business applications with intelligent operating platforms.

  6. (5) Form alliances with outstanding domestic vendors to enter the emerging application market.

  7. Long-term development plan

  8. (1) Implement the commitment of continuous improvement of total quality and strive for sustainable development of ESG.

  9. (2) Demonstrate strong system capabilities in software and hardware integration to help enterprises transform digitally.

  10. (3) Bridge advanced technology and application to life, and joining hands with Taiwan team to enter the World Cup.

Regarding the outlook for 2023, the global economy will continue to face geopolitics, financial volatility, climate anomalies, and global supply chain issues. In the face of slowing economic growth, companies need to accelerate innovation and develop better technology solutions. Despite the high uncertainty of private investment, there are still many IT installations that are in immediate demand, such as information security, cloud deployment, and regulatory compliance, which will be the main drivers of growth for information service providers in 2023. As one of the largest and most influential system integration companies in Taiwan, SYSCOM COMPUTER is committed to completing every project with dedication, focus, and commitment, helping customers to promote digital transformation and build a resilient enterprise, and continue to strive for opportunities to create new business opportunities. Finally, I wish all shareholders good health and all the best to you.

from 2021 to 2022. In 2023, we will continue to reduce
unnecessary electricity consumption and implement various
energy-saving measures, with a target of 1% carbon reduction in
2023. The Company is an information service provider
providing professional services and has no production processes,
therefore, there are no sources of process emissions (Scope I).
2. In response to the low-carbon policy and greenhouse gas
reduction, the Company's main measures include research and
development of relevant energy-saving products, procurement
of environmentally friendly energy-saving equipment, and
promotion of colleagues to reduce non-essential use of
electricity and cultivate low-carbon living habits.
3. In the course of the Company's operation, no additional
wastewater will be generated except for general water for
people's domestic use. Wastewater is discharged in accordance
with the regulations and there is no concern about water
pollution. The total water consumption in 2022 and 2021 were
10,000 tons and 9,025 tons respectively, up approximately 10%
in 2022 compared to 2021. The increase in water consumption
in 2022 was mainly due to the need to strengthen our own and

qualified waste disposal companies. The domestic garbage is
collected and transported to the incineration plant.

metric tons in both 2022 and 2021, and the total amount of non-
recyclable waste and domestic garbage was 25.37 metric tons
and 24.16 metric tons in 2022 and 2021. The increase of 5% in
2022 compared to 2021 was mainly due to the increase of
packaging materials for large projects, and the fact that most of
the employees do not dine out due to the pandemic and bring out
lunch boxes for drinks, and that large meetings or trainings are
also arranged within the company due to the pandemic, resulting
in a large number of lunch boxes and therefore an increase in the
amount of garbage. The Company will continue to reduce waste
through various waste reduction programs to protect the earth
and cherish resources, to reduce waste generation, and to
implement waste management to reduce the damage to the earth,

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Syscom Computer Engineering Company

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Syscom Computer Engineering Company (the “Corporation”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 and the relevant consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and relevant notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to Other Matter section), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) (collectively referred to as “IFRSs”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters of the financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:

Recognition of Contract Revenue

The Group generates revenue through rendering of services according to contract. Revenue from contract is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of contract activity. The stage of completion of the contract is measured based on the proportion of contract cost incurred for work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract cost. The management estimates total contract cost upon signing of the contract. However, the estimated total cost may change as the contract activity progresses and such change may have material impact on revenue recognition; therefore, the recognition of contract revenue is deemed to be a key audit matter.

126

We focused on the measurement of stage of completion while testing the recognition of contract revenue. The procedures we performed are the following:

  1. We examined the underlying documents of original contract and related addendum used as basis for contract revenue recognized.

  2. We verified the accuracy of accumulated incurred cost through test of details.

  3. We assessed the appropriateness of underlying information and assumptions the management used in estimating total cost.

  4. We performed retrospective review of discrepancy between actual costs incurred and estimated total cost of completed contract.

Please refer to Notes 4 and 5 to the financial statements for related disclosure on revenue recognition.

Other Matters

In the Group’s consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of subsidiaries that are not material are audited by other auditors. Therefore, in our opinion on the consolidated financial statements as mentioned above, the amounts shown in such subsidiaries’ financial statements are recognized based on the audit reports prepared by other auditors. The total assets of the above subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 were NT$282,734 thousands and NT$259,291 thousands, respectively, both accounting for 6% of the total consolidated assets; the net operating revenue for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 was NT$152,396 thousands and NT$124,360 thousands, which represented 3% and 2% of the net consolidated operating revenue.

The Corporation has prepared the financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and we have issued an auditor’s report on said statements with the unqualified opinion and other matters paragraphs for reference.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The responsibilities of the management are to prepare the financial statements with fair presentation in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the regulations of IFRS and IAS as well as IFRIC and SIC interpretations endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC and to maintain necessary internal control associated with the preparation in order to ensure that the financial statements are free from material misstatement arising from fraud or error.

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

The Group’s governing body (including the Audit Committee) is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatement may arise from frauds or errors. If the amounts of misstatements, either separately

127

or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of the consolidated financial statements, they are considered material.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism. We also:

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

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

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022, and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hsin-Wei Tai and Pei-De Chen.

  • B. Liabilities due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; and

  • C. Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as noncurrent.

  • (4) Basis of Consolidation

The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (subsidiaries). The subsidiaries’ financial statements have been properly adjusted to make the accounting policies consistent with the accounting policies of the Group. In preparing the consolidated financial statements, all intra-group transactions, account balances, gains and losses have been eliminated. The total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is attributable to the shareholders and non-controlling interests of the Company, even if this results in a loss balance for the non-controlling interests.

When a change in the Group 's ownership interest in a subsidiary does not result in a loss of control, it is treated as an equity transaction. The carrying amounts of the Group and non-controlling interests have been adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in subsidiaries. The difference between the adjustment of the non-controlling interests and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity attributable to shareholders of the Company.

Please refer to Note 12 and Exhibits 4 and 5 for details of subsidiaries, shareholding percentage and principal businesses.

  • (5) Foreign Currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

137

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income; in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary item denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost is stated at the reporting currency as originally translated from the foreign currency.

For the purpose of presenting the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of the Corporation’s foreign operations (including subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in other countries) that are prepared using functional currencies which are different from the currency of the Corporation are translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollar, as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting year; and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income (attributed to the owners of the Corporation and non-controlling interests as appropriate).

(6) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value item by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The calculation of the cost of inventory is derived using the weighted-average method.

(7) Investment in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Group and other parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

The Group uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates and joint ventures. Under the equity method, investments in an associate and a joint venture are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and joint venture. The Group also recognizes the changes in the Group’s share of the equity of associates and joint venture attributable to the Group.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate and a joint venture at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Group’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

When the Group subscribes for additional new shares of an associate and a joint venture at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Group’s proportionate interest in the associate and joint venture. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in capital surplus from investments in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. If the Group’s ownership interest is reduced due to its additional subscription of the new shares of the associate and joint venture, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint venture is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required had the investee directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.

When the Group's share of losses in an associate or a joint venture equals or exceeds its equity interest in the associate and the joint venture (including the carrying amount of the associate or joint venture under the equity method and other long-term equity interests that are in substance a component of the Group 's net investment in the associate and the joint venture), the Group shall cease to recognize further losses. The Group recognizes additional losses and liabilities only to the extent that legal obligations, constructive obligations or payments on behalf of associate and the joint venture have been incurred.

138

The entire carrying amount of an investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

When the Group transacts with its associate and joint venture, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate and joint venture are recognized in the Group’s consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate and joint venture that are not related to the Group.

  • (8) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less recognized accumulated d epreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The Group estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis

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.

(9) Goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is carried at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.

For the purposes of impairment testing, goodwill is allocated to each of the Group’s cashgenerating units or groups of cash-generating units (referred to as “cash-generating units”) that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more frequently when there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit is tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then pro rata to the other assets of the unit based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. Any impairment loss recognized for goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

Upon disposal of an operation within a cash-generating unit to which goodwill is allocated, the amount of goodwill associated with the disposed operation is included in the carrying amount of the operation to determine the disposal gain or loss.

(10) Intangible assets

  • A. Acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The Group reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values and amortization methods at least at the end of each year and defers the effect of changes in applicable accounting estimates. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated impairment.

  • B. Derecognition

When an intangible asset is derecognized, the difference between the net disposal price and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

  • (11) Impairment of Property, Plant and Equipment, Right-of-use Assets, Intangible Assets Other Than Goodwill and Incremental Costs of Obtaining Contracts

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered any impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are

139

allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually, and whenever there is an indication that the asset may be impaired.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(12) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on the Group only balance sheets when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

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

  • A. Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date or settlement date basis.

  • a. Measurement category

The Group’s financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.

  • (a) Financial assets at FVTPL

For certain financial assets which include debt instrument that do not meet the criteria of amortized cost or FVTOCI, it is mandatorily required to measure them at FVTPL. 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.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The dividends, interest earned and net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss on the financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 26.

  • (b) Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following two 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 asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, investments in debt instruments, notes receivable, accounts receivable, lease receivables, other receivables and refundable deposits, which equals to gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to multiply the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.

Cash equivalents, held to meet short-term cash commitments, include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash, as well as deposits

140

in the bank and commercial papers, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

(c) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition,the Group may make an irrevocable designate investments in equity instruments that is not held for trading 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 dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. b. Impairment of financial assets and contract assets

The Group assesses financial assets (including accounts receivable), lease receivables and contract assets at amortized cost at each balance sheet date based on Expected Credit Loss ECL .

Allowance for loss is recognized for accounts receivable, lease receivables and contract assets based on the ECL over their duration of existence. Other financial assets shall be evaluated for any significant increase of risk from the day of initial recognition. If none is found, recognize for provision for anticipated credit loss along a period of 12 months. If it is, recognize for provision of anticipated credit risk within the duration of existence of the assets.

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

All impairment of financial assets is recognized through the reduction of the carrying amount of the provisioned account.

c. De-recognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

  • B. Financial liabilities

  • a. Subsequent measurement

    • All financial liabilities are evaluated at the amortized cost using the effective interest

    • method.

  • b. Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assetstransferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (13) Recognition of revenue

The Group identifies the contract with the customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

  • A. Sales revenue Project contract revenue

Project contract revenue is derived from hardware and software system integration services. With the hardware and software system integration services provided by the Group, customers also obtain and consume performance benefits. The hardware and software system integration services rely on the input of technical personnel and the completion of hardware

141

equipment, and the Group measures the progress of completion based on the estimated total cost invested. Customers pay in installments according to contractual agreements.The Group recognizes contract assets over time in the course of providing services and reclassifies them as accounts receivable at the time of billing. If the amount received exceeds the amount of revenue recognized, the difference is recognized as a contract liability.

If it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenues, all expected losses are recognized as expenses immediately.

Product sales revenue

The Group recognizes revenue and accounts receivable from sales of computer hardware and software and computer peripherals at the point when each contractual obligation is satisfied or when the customer has obtained control of and access to the products and assumes the risk of the products.

  • B. Service revenue

Service revenue is derived from the provision of subsequent maintenance services for software and hardware equipment during the contract period. The Group recognizes such revenue over time.

  • (14) Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A. The Group as lessor.

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Under capital leases, lease payments include fixed payments. Net investment in leases is measured as the sum of the present value of lease payments receivable and the unguaranteed residual value plus original direct costs and is expressed as capital lease receivables. Capital lease income is allocated to each accounting period to reflect the constant rate of return that the Group's outstanding net lease investment can earn in each period.

Under operating leases, lease payments are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the relevant lease period..

  • B. The Group as lessee.

Except for payments for low-value asset leases and short-term leases which are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of the lease.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, and less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the Group only balance sheets. Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rates.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the Group only balance sheets.

  • (15) Government Grants

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to the government subsidy and that the subsidy will be received. Government grants are recognized in other income on a systematic basis over the period in which the related costs for which they are intended to compensate are recognized as expenses by the Group.

142

Government subsidies conditioned on the purchase, construction or acquisition by other means of noncurrent assets by the Group are recognized as deferred revenue and are transferred to profit or loss on a reasonable and systematic basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Government grants are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become collectible if they are intended to compensate for expenses or losses already incurred or to provide immediate financial support to the Group and have no future related costs.

  • (16) Employee benefits

  • A. Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service. B. Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost and gains or losses on settlements) and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses; and the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Company’s defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

  • (17) Income tax

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

  • A. Current tax

The Group determines income (loss) for the period in accordance with the regulations enacted by the income tax reporting jurisdictions and calculates income tax payable (recoverable) accordingly.

According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, an additional tax of unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the stockholders approve to retain the earnings. Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

  • B. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax credits from purchases of machinery, equipment and technology and research, development expenditures, etc. to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and such temporary differences are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws)

143

that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

C.

  • Current and deferred tax

Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

5. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation and Uncertainty

In the application of the Group’s accounting policies, the management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions which are based on historical experience and other factors that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Group has taken the recent development of the COVID-19 outbreak and its possible impact on the economic environment into consideration in making significant accounting estimates related to cash flow projections, growth rates, discount rates, profitability, etc. Management will continue to review the estimates and underlying assumptions. If a revision of an estimate affects only the current period, it is recognized in the period in which it is revised. If a revision of an accounting estimate affects both the current and future periods, it is recognized in the period in which it is revised and in the future periods. Critical Accounting Judgments Timing of recognition of revenue

The Group assesses whether a performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a certain point in time in accordance with the terms of the customer contract and applicable regulations.

The revenue generated from the hardware and software system integration services provided by the Group y under the contracts depends on the input of technical personnel and the completion of hardware equipment. The Group measures the progress of completion based on the estimated total cost invested and the customers pay in installments according to the contracts. The Group recognizes contract assets in the course of providing services and recognizes revenue based on the total contract price in proportion to completion. For the purpose of calculating the percentage of completion, the Group estimates the total contract cost at the same time when the contract is signed. If there is a subsequent change in the total contract cost, the percentage of completion is revised and the revenue recognition is adjusted in the period of change.

The Group invests in the above domestic stocks for medium- to long-term strategic purposes and expects to make profits from the long-term investments. The management of the Group considers that it is inconsistent with the aforementioned long-term investment plan to include short-term fluctuations in the fair values of these investments in profit or loss, and therefore chooses to designate these investments as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Group purchased the common stocks of Turn Cloud Technology Service Inc. in January 2020, which was designated as investment at fair value through other comprehensive income because it was for the medium- to long-term strategic purpose. The company's common stocks will be available for trading on the Pioneer Stock Board of the Emerging Stock Market on November 26, 2021, and as regular Emerging Stock Market stocks starting February 15, 2022.

For information on pledged financial assets at amortized cost, see Note 28.

The Group assessed that the expected credit risk of the above financial assets at amortized cost was not significant and its credit risk did not increase after the initial recognition. The Group did not expect credit losses on the above financial assets at amortized cost to occur within 12 months after the date of the financial statements, and no allowance for losses had been recognized as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The average credit period for the Group's product sales is 30 to 120 days, and the accounts receivable are not interest-bearing.

145

To mitigate credit risk, the Group's management has assigned a dedicated team to be responsible for credit limit determination, credit approval and other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions have been taken to collect overdue receivables. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amounts of receivables on a case-by-case basis at the balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment losses have been recorded for uncollectible receivables. Accordingly, the management of the Company believed that the credit risk of the Group y has been significantly reduced.

The Group recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on the expected credit losses over the duration of existence of the accounts receivable. Expected credit losses over the duration of existence are based on the customer's past default history, current financial position and past collection experience, observable changes in national or regional economic conditions related to receivables, and the debtor's industry indicators.

If there is evidence that the counterparty is in serious financial difficulty and the Group cannot reasonably expect to recover the amount, for example, if the counterparty is in liquidation, the Group directly writes off the related accounts receivable but continues the collection activities, and the amount recovered from the collection is recognized in profit or loss.

Based on the above considerations, the Group measured the allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on the aging range of accounts receivable (based on the post date) and evaluated the credit risk of individual customers as follows:

In March 2013, the Group invested in 50% of the shares of Cloudmaster Co., Ltd. in a joint venture with a Japanese company approved by the Investment Commission, MOEA, which is engaged in information software, data processing and electronic information supply services. According to the joint venture agreement, the Board of Directors and the shareholders' meeting of Cloudmaster Co., Ltd. adopt a majority rule for its resolutions, but the Group holds less than half of the seats of directors of the Cloudmaster, and in accordance with the management authority of its actual operations, material resolutions and decisions must be approved by the shareholders of both parties, but the Group is unable to directly decide to obtain other variable remuneration that is not available to the shareholders of the other party, and has no direct ability to influence the remuneration obtained by participating in the joint venture investment. Therefore, the Group has no control over Cloudmaster Co., Ltd.

The shares of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of joint ventures under the equity method for the years 2022 and 2021 were recognized based on the financial statements of the joint ventures’ financial statements for the same periods audited by CPAs.

(1) Defined contribution plan

The pension systems of the Company, Coach Technology Management Inc., Wisemaker Technology Co., and Netmaker Technology Co., Ltd. within the Group under the “Labor Pension Act” are government-administered defined contribution pension plans, under which these companies are required to contribute 6% of employees' monthly salaries to their personal pension accounts with the Bureau of Labor Insurance.

  • (2) Defined benefits plan

The pension systems of the Company, Coach Technology Management Inc., Wisemaker Technology Co., and Netmaker Technology Co., Ltd. within the Group under the “Labor Standards Act” are government-administered defined benefits pension plans. Employees' pension payments are calculated based on the years of service and the average salary for the six months before the approved retirement date. These companies are required to appropriate 2% of the employees' monthly salaries to the Supervisory Committee of Labor Retirement Reserve for deposit into a special account in the Bank of Taiwan in the Committee's name. Before the end of the year, if the estimated balance of the special account is not enough to pay for the workers who are expected to meet the retirement requirements in the following year, the difference will be made up in one lump sum by the end of March of the following year. The Group has no right to influence the investment management strategy as the special account is entrusted to be administered by the Bureau of Labor Fund, Ministry of Labor.

The Group is exposed to the following risks as a result of the pension system under the “Labor Standards Act”:

  • A. Investment risk: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor invests the Labor Pension Fund in domestic (and foreign) equity securities, debt securities and bank deposits through its own operations and by entrusted 3rd parties, but the amount allocated to the Group's plan assets should not be less than the income at the interest rate of two-year time deposits in local banks.

  • B. Interest rate risk: A decrease in interest rates on government bonds will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation, but the return on debt investment in plan assets will also increase, which will have a partially offsetting effect on the net defined benefit obligation.

  • C. Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salary of the plan member. Therefore, increases in plan member’s salary will result in an increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The present value of the Group's defined benefit obligation was actuarially determined by a qualified actuary:

The issued common stock has a par value of $10 per share and each share is entitled to one right to vote and the right to receive dividends. (2) Capital surplus

Capital surplus results from the difference between the actual acquisition or disposal price and the book value of the Company's equity in a subsidiary under equity transactions and from donated assets. (3) Retained earnings and dividend policy

In accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation, if the Company made a profit in a fiscal year as concluded by the year-end accounting close, the profit shall be first used for paying taxes, making up for the cumulative losses, setting aside 10% of the remaining profit as a legal reserve unless it has reached the total amount of the Company’s paid-in capital, setting aside an amount for or reversing a special reserve in accordance with laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit, together with any undistributed earnings, shall be adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors as the basis for making a distribution proposal, which shall then be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting for a resolution before distribution of bonuses to shareholders. For the distribution policy on profit-sharing remuneration for employees and directors, see Note 22 (7) on profit-sharing remuneration for employees and directors.

The principle of the Company's dividend policy is to distribute cash dividends and stock dividends in an appropriate mix, and to determine the type, amount and timing of dividends based on the actual profitability, capital budget planning and capital position of the year. The Company shall distribute cash dividends at no less than 10% of the total dividends to be distributed in the year; however, if it has more abundant surplus and capital, it may raise said percentage.

Legal reserve should be appropriated until its balance reaches the Company's total paid-in capital. Legal reserve may be used to make up for losses. If the Company has no loss, the excess of legal reserve over 25% of the total paid-in capital may be distributed in cash in addition to being capitalized as equity. When distributing earnings, the Company is required by law to provide special reserve for the net reduction of other equity items. If the net deduction of other shareholders' equity is subsequently reversed, within the portion of which, special reserve may be reversed for distribution of earnings. The Company held regular shareholders' meetings on June 15, 2022 and July 29, 2021, respectively, and resolved to approve the following distribution proposals for 2021 and 2020 earnings:

Legal reserve

(1) Description of customer contracts Sales revenue

Customer contracts under the project contract revenue are for system integration services based on customization specifications. Revenue is recognized based on the degree of completion of the contracts, and the customer pays the contract consideration according to the contract schedule.

Merchandise sales revenue is recognized when the contractual obligations are met or when the customer has acquired control and use of the merchandises and assumes the risk of the merchandises. Service revenue

Service revenue arises when maintenance services are provided to the customer during the contract period. Part of the consideration is received in advance at the time of signing the contract and revenue is subsequently recognized over the contract period on a straight-line basis.

If the Group may choose to have the employee compensation distributed via a stock or cash dividend, the calculation of the diluted earnings per share assumes that the bonus to employees is with a stock dividend distributed, with the weighted average number of shares outstanding included when the potential common stock has a diluted effect. The dilutive effect of these potential common shares also continues to be considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share before the number of shares awarded to employees in the following year's resolution.

25. Capital risk management

The Group conducts capital management to ensure that the Group's enterprises can continue to operate while maximizing shareholder returns by optimizing debt and equity balances. The overall strategy of the Consolidated Company has not changed since 2013.

The capital structure of the Group is composed of net debt (i.e., borrowings less cash and cash equivalents) and equity (i.e., capital stock, capital surplus, retained earnings, other equity items and noncontrolling interests) of the Consolidated Company.

The Group is not subject to other external capital requirements.

The Group's key management reviews the Group's capital structure annually, which includes consideration of the cost of each type of capital and the related risks. The Group will balance its overall capital structure by paying dividends, adding or repaying loans, as recommended by key management.

26. Financial instruments

  • (1) Fair value information - financial instruments not measured at fair value

The management of the Group considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value approximate their fair values, and therefore the carrying amounts of the Consolidated Balance Sheets are a reasonable basis for estimating fair values.

  • Note 2: The balance includes financial liabilities measured at amortized cost, such as short-term loans, notes payable, accounts payable and other payables.

  • (4) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group's major financial instruments include investments in equity and debt instruments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, borrowings and lease liabilities. The Group's financial management department provides services to each business unit, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, and monitors and manages financial risks associated with the Group's operations through internal risk reporting that analyzes risk exposure based on risk level and breadth. These risks include market risk (including exchange rate risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

A. Market risk

The main financial risks to which the Group is exposed as a result of the Group's operating activities are the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see a. below) and the risk of changes in interest rates (see b. below).

  • a. Exchanger rate risk

  • The Group engages in foreign currency-denominated sales and purchases

  • transactions, which expose the Group to exchange rate fluctuations.

The carrying amounts of monetary assets and monetary liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency as of the balance sheet date are disclosed in Note 30.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group is mainly affected by the fluctuation of USD exchange rate.

The following describes the sensitivity analysis of the Group when the exchange rate of NTD (functional currency) increases and decreases by 10% against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity percentage used for the Group’s internal reporting of exchange rate risk to key management and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible range of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only foreign currency monetary items in circulation and adjusts their translation at the end of the period by a 10% change in the exchange rate. The 10% appreciation of the NTD against USD will increase net profit before tax by $9,995 thousand and $19,330 thousand in 2022 and 2021, respectively. If NTD depreciates by 10% against each of the relevant foreign currencies, the effect on net profit before tax will be the negative number for the same amount. The effect of the above exchange rate fluctuations mainly arises from foreign currency cash, accounts payable and foreign currency borrowings of the Group that are outstanding at the balance sheet date and not covered by cash flow hedge.

  • b. Interest rate risk

The entities within the Group borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates, which results in interest rate risk. The Group manages interest rate risk by maintaining an appropriate borrowing mix of fixed and floating interest rates.

The carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities exposed to interest rate risk as of the balance sheet date were as follows:

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis was determined based on the interest rate risk of the non-derivative instruments at the balance sheet date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis assumes that the amount of the liability outstanding at the balance sheet date is outstanding in the reporting period. The rate of change used in the Group’s reporting interest rates internally to key management is a 25 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, which also represents management's assessment of the range of reasonably possible changes in interest rates.

If the interest rate increases/decreases by 25 basis points, with all other variables held constant, the Group's net profit before tax for 2022 and 2021 would increase/decrease by $342 thousand and $607 thousand, respectively.

  • B. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of the Group’s financial loss resulting from the counterparties' default on contractual obligations. As of the balance sheet date, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk of financial loss due to non-performance of counterparties' obligations and financial guarantees provided by the Group mainly arises from the carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the Consolidated Balance Sheet.

Before accepting a new customer, the Group assesses the credit quality of the potential customer and sets the credit limit of the customer through its internal credit and related sales management departments, and the credit limit and rating of the customer are reviewed annually. C. Liquidity risk

The Group manages and maintains a sufficient portion of cash and cash equivalents to support the Group's operations and mitigate the impact of cash flow fluctuations. The Group's management monitors the use of banking facilities and ensures compliance with the terms of borrowing contracts.

Bank loans are an important source of liquidity for the Group. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group had unused financing facilities as described in b. Description of financing facilities below.

  • a. Liquidity and interest rate risk of non-derivative financial liabilities

The analysis of the remaining contractual maturities of non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared based on the undiscounted cash flows (including principal and estimated interest) of financial liabilities based on the earliest possible date on which the Group could be required to make repayment. Accordingly, the Group's bank loans that may be required to be repaid immediately are listed in the table below for the earliest period, without considering the probability that the bank will immediately enforce the right; the maturity analysis of other non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared based on the contractual repayment dates.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Syscom Computer Engineering Company

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Syscom Computer Engineering Company (the “Corporation”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to Other Matter section), the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Corporation in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters of the financial statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:

Recognition of Contract Revenue

The Corporation generates revenue through rendering of services according to contract. Revenue from contract is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of contract activity. The stage of completion of the contract is measured based on the proportion of contract cost incurred for

175

work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract cost. The management estimates total contract cost upon signing of the contract. However, the estimated total cost may change as the contract activity progresses and such change may have material impact on revenue recognition; therefore, the recognition of contract revenue is deemed to be a key audit matter.

We focused on the measurement of stage of completion while testing the recognition of contract revenue. The procedures we performed are the following:

  1. We examined the underlying documents of original contract and related addendum used as basis for contract revenue recognized.

  2. We verified the accuracy of accumulated incurred cost through test of details.

  3. We assessed the appropriateness of underlying information and assumptions the management used in estimating total cost.

  4. We performed retrospective review of discrepancy between actual costs incurred and estimated total cost of completed contract.

Please refer to Notes 4 and 5 to the accompanying financial statements for related disclosure on revenue recognition.

Other Matter

The financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 of some investees in which the Corporation had equity-method investments were audited by other auditors. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the accompanying financial statements for these investees, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the aforementioned investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$203,541 thousands and NT$197,567 thousands, which were 5% of total assets of the Corporation. For the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, investment income from the aforementioned equity-method investments amounted to NT$(2,371) thousands and NT$5,662 thousands, which represented (0.8%) and 2.1% of total comprehensive income of the Corporation.

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

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

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

Those charged with governance, including the Audit Committee, are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’s financial reporting process.

176

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

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

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

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

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Corporation’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Corporation to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

177

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Hsin-Wei Tai and Pei-De Chen.

  1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (1) Statement of Compliance

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

  • (2) Basis of Preparation

The parent company only financial statements were prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities recognized at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.

The evaluation of fair value could be classified into Level 1 to Level 3 by the observable intensity and importance of the related input value:

  • A. Level 1 input value: refers to the quotation of the same asset or liability in an active market as of the evaluation (before adjustment).

  • B. Level 2 input value: refers to the direct (the price) or indirect (inference of price) observable input value of asset or liability further to the quotation of Level 1.

  • C. Level 3 input value: the unobservable input value of asset or liability.

When preparing the accompanying financial statements, the Company used equity method to account for its investment in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures. In order for the amounts of the net profit, other comprehensive income and total equity in the parent company only financial statements to be the same with those amounts attributable to the owner of the Company in its consolidated financial statements, adjustments arising from the differences in accounting treatment between parent company only basis and consolidated basis were made to the captions of “investments accounted for using equity method”, “share of profit (loss) of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method”, “share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method” and related equity items, as appropriate, in the parent company only financial statements.

  • (3) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

  • Current assets include:

  • A. Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • B. Assets expected to be realized within twelve months after the reporting period; and

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

  • Current liabilities include:

  • A. Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • B. Liabilities due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; and

  • C. Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as noncurrent.

(4) Foreign Currencies

In preparing the Company’s financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Non-monetary items carried at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined and related exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss. Conversely, when the fair value changes were recognized in other comprehensive income, related exchange difference shall be recognized in other comprehensive income.

Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.

186

  • (5) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value item by item, except for those that may be appropriate to group items of similar or related inventories. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. The calculation of the cost of inventory is derived using the weighted-average method.

(6) Investments in subsidiaries

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity over which the Company has control.

Under the equity method, investments are initially recognized at cost; the carrying amount after the acquisition date fluctuates along with the distribution of profit or loss from the subsidiaries and other comprehensive income by the Company. Additionally, the change in the interests the Company holds in subsidiaries is recognized pro rata to the shareholding percentages.

When a change in the Company's ownership interest in a subsidiary does not result in a loss of control, it is treated as an equity transaction. The difference between the carrying amount of the investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity. When the Company's share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary (including the carrying amount of the subsidiary under the equity method and other long-term interests that are in substance a component of the Company's net investment in the subsidiary), the Company continues to recognize losses in proportion to its equity in the subsidiary.

The excess of the acquisition cost over the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries at the acquisition date is recorded as goodwill, which is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized; the excess of the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries at the acquisition date over the acquisition cost is recorded as gain or loss for the period.

The Company assesses impairment based on the cash-generating units as a whole in the financial statements and compares their recoverable amounts with their carrying amounts. If the amount of recoverable assets increased in the future, the reversal of impairment shall be recognized as income. The carrying amount of the reversal of impaired assets shall not exceed the carrying amount before recognition for impairment net of amortization. Impairment losses attributable to goodwill must not be reversed in subsequent periods.

When control over a subsidiary is lost, the Company measures its remaining investment in the subsidiary at fair value at the date of loss of control. The difference between the fair value of the remaining investment and the carrying amount of the investment at the date of loss of control, if any, is recognized in profit or loss for the period. In addition, all amounts recognized in other comprehensive income related to the subsidiary are accounted for on the same basis as if the Company had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.

Unrealized profits or losses on downstream transactions with subsidiaries are eliminated in the parent company only financial statements. Profits or losses from upstream and side-stream transactions with subsidiaries are recognized in the parent company only financial statements only to the extent that they are not related to the Company's equity interest in the subsidiary.

(7) Investments in associates and joint ventures

An associate is an entity over which the company has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. A joint venture is a joint arrangement whereby the Company and other parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the arrangement.

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates and joint ventures.

Under the equity method, investments in an associate and a joint venture are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate and the joint venture. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company’s share of equity of associates and joint ventures.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate and a joint venture at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Company’s share of net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition,after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

When the Company subscribes for additional new shares of an associate and a joint venture at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Company’s proportionate interest in the associate and the

187

joint venture. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in capital surplus from investments in associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. If the Company’s ownership interest is reduced due to its additional subscription of the new shares of the associate and the joint venture, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint ventures is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.

When the Company's share of losses in an associates or joint venture equals or exceeds its equity interest in the associates and the joint ventures (including the carrying amount of the associates or joint venture under the equity method and other long-term equity interests that are in substance a component of the Company's net investment in the associates and the joint ventures), the Company shall cease to recognize further losses. The Company recognizes additional losses and liabilities only to the extent that legal obligations, constructive obligations or payments on behalf of associates and joint ventures have been incurred.

The entire carrying amount of an investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

When the Company transacts with its associate and joint venture, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate and joint venture are recognized in the Company’s financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate and joint venture that are not related to the Company.

(8) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less recognized accumulated d epreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. 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.

  • (9) Intangible assets

  • A. Acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values and amortization methods at least at the end of each year and defers the effect of changes in applicable accounting estimates. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are stated at cost less accumulated impairment. B. Derecognition

  • When an intangible asset is derecognized, the difference between the net disposal price and

  • the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss for the period.

  • (10) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets ,intangible assets (excluding goodwill) and incremental costs of obtaining contracts

The Company assesses on each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) may have been impaired. If there is any indication of impairment, the recoverable amount of the asset should be estimated. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset cannot be estimated, the Company is to estimate the recoverable amount of the respective cash-generating unit. Shared assets are allocated to individual cash-generating units on a reasonably consistent basis.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication of impairment.

The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. When the recoverable amount of an individual asset or a cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount,

188

the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit should be reduced to its recoverable amount. The impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

When the impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cashgenerating unit is increased to the adjusted recoverable amount, provided that the increased carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount (net of amortization or depreciation) that would have become if the impairment loss had not been recognized in prior years for that asset or cash-generating unit. Reversal of impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

  • (11) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on parent company only balance sheets when a group entity becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

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

A. Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date or settlement date basis.

a. Measurement category

The Company’s financial assets are classified into the following categories: financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.

  • (a) Financial assets at FVTPL

For certain financial assets which include debt instrument that do not meet the criteria of amortized cost or FVTOCI, it is mandatorily required to measure them at FVTPL. 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.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, with any gains or losses arising on remeasurement recognized in profit or loss. The dividends, interest earned and net gain or loss recognized in profit or loss on the financial asset. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 24.

  • (b)Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following two 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 asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, investments in debt instruments, notes receivable, accounts receivable, lease receivables, other receivables and refundable deposits, which equals to gross carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to multiply the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.

Cash equivalents, held to meet short-term cash commitments, include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash, as well as deposits in the bank and commercial papers, which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value.

  • (c) Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI

On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable designate investments in equity instruments that is not held for trading 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.

189

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 dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment. b. Impairment of financial assets and contract assets

The Company assesses financial assets (including accounts receivable), lease receivables and contract assets at amortized cost at each balance sheet date based on Expected Credit Loss ECL .

Allowance for loss is recognized for accounts receivable, lease receivables and contract assets based on the ECL over their duration of existence. Other financial assets shall be evaluated for any significant increase of risk from the day of initial recognition. If none is found, recognize for provision for anticipated credit loss along a period of 12 months. If it is, recognize for provision of anticipated credit risk within the duration of existence of the assets.

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

All impairment of financial assets is recognized through the reduction of the carrying amount of the provisioned account.

c. De-recognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.

B. Financial liabilities

a. Subsequent measurement

All financial liabilities are evaluated at the amortized cost using the effective interest method.

b. Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assetstransferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

(12) Recognition of revenue

The Company identifies the contract with the customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

A. Sales revenue Project contract revenue

Project contract revenue is derived from hardware and software system integration services. With the hardware and software system integration services provided by the Company, customers also obtain and consume performance benefits. The hardware and software system integration services rely on the input of technical personnel and the completion of hardware equipment, and the Company measures the progress of completion based on the estimated total cost invested. Customers pay in installments according to contractual agreements. The Company recognizes contract assets over time in the course of providing services and reclassifies them as accounts receivable at the time of billing. If the amount received exceeds the amount of revenue recognized, the difference is recognized as a contract liability.

If it is probable that total contract costs will exceed total contract revenues, all expected losses are recognized as expenses immediately.

190

Product sales revenue

The Company recognizes revenue and accounts receivable from sales of computer hardware and software and computer peripherals at the point when each contractual obligation is satisfied or when the customer has obtained control of and access to the products and assumes the risk of the products.

  • B. Service revenue

Service revenue is derived from the provision of subsequent maintenance services for software and hardware equipment during the contract period. The Company recognizes such revenue over time.

  • (13) Leases

At the inception of a contract, the company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A. The Company as lessor

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Under capital leases, lease payments include fixed payments. Net investment in leases is measured as the sum of the present value of lease payments receivable and the unguaranteed residual value plus original direct costs and is expressed as capital lease receivables. Capital lease income is allocated to each accounting period to reflect the constant rate of return that the Company's outstanding net lease investment can earn in each period.

Under operating leases, lease payments are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the relevant lease period.

  • B. The Company as lessee

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

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, and less any lease incentives received, any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the parent company only balance sheets.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses the lessee’s incremental borrowing rates.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Company remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the parent company only balance sheets.

  • (14) Government Grants

Government grants are recognized when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the government subsidy and that the subsidy will be received. Government grants are recognized in other income on a systematic basis over the period in which the related costs for which they are intended to compensate are recognized as expenses by the Company. Government grants conditioned on the purchase, construction or acquisition by other means of noncurrent assets by the Company are recognized as deferred revenue and are transferred to profit or loss on a reasonable and systematic basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

191

Government grants are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become collectible if they are intended to compensate for expenses or losses already incurred or to provide immediate financial support to the Company and have no future related costs.

(15) Employee Benefits

  • A. Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.

B. Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.

Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost and gains or losses on settlements) and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising (a) actuarial gains and losses; and (b) the return on plan assets, excluding amounts included in net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liability (asset) represents the actual deficit (surplus) in the Company’s defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.

(16) Income tax

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. A. Current tax

The Company determines income (loss) for the period in accordance with the regulations enacted by the income tax reporting jurisdictions and calculates income tax payable (recoverable) accordingly.

According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, an additional tax of unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the stockholders approve to retain the earnings. Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

  • B. Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the Company’s financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused tax credits from research, development expenditures and talent training expenditures, etc. to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and such temporary differences are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax assets and liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow

192

from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

  • C. Current and deferred tax

  • Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items

  • that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.

  • Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation and Uncertainty

In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, the management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions which are based on historical experience and other factors that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Company has taken the recent development of the COVID-19 outbreak and its possible impact on the economic environment into consideration in making significant accounting estimates related to cash flow projections, growth rates, discount rates, profitability, etc. Management will continue to review the estimates and underlying assumptions. If a revision of an estimate affects only the current period, it is recognized in the period in which it is revised. If a revision of an accounting estimate affects both the current and future periods, it is recognized in the period in which it is revised and in the future periods. Critical accounting judgments

Timing of recognition of revenue

The Company assesses whether a performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a certain point in time in accordance with the terms of the customer contract and applicable regulations.

The revenue generated from the hardware and software system integration services provided by the Company under the contracts depends on the input of technical personnel and the completion of hardware equipment. The Company measures the progress of completion based on the estimated total cost invested and the customers pay in installments according to the contracts. The Company recognizes contract assets in the course of providing services and recognizes revenue based on the total contract price in proportion to completion. For the purpose of calculating the percentage of completion, the Company estimates the total contract cost at the same time when the contract is signed. If there is a subsequent change in the total contract cost, the percentage of completion is revised and the revenue recognition is adjusted in the period of change.

The Company invests in the above domestic stocks for medium- to long-term strategic purposes and expects to make profits from the long-term investments. The management of the Company considers that it is inconsistent with the aforementioned long-term investment plan to include short-term fluctuations in the fair values of these investments in profit or loss, and therefore chooses to designate these investments as measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

The Company purchased the common stocks of Turn Cloud Technology Service Inc. in January 2020, which was designated as investment at fair value through other comprehensive income because it was for the medium- to long-term strategic purpose. The company's common stocks will be available for trading on the Pioneer Stock Board of the Emerging Stock Market on November 26, 2021, and as regular Emerging Stock Market stocks starting February 15, 2022.

The Company assessed that the expected credit risk of the above financial assets at amortized cost was not significant and its credit risk did not increase after the initial recognition. The Company did not expect credit losses on the above financial assets at amortized cost to occur within 12 months after the date of the financial statements, and no allowance for losses had been recognized as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.

The average credit period for the Company's product sales is 60 to 120 days, and the accounts receivable are not interest-bearing.

To mitigate credit risk, the Company's management has assigned a dedicated team to be responsible for credit limit determination, credit approval and other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions have been taken to collect overdue receivables. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amounts of receivables on a case-by-case basis at the balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment losses have been recorded for uncollectible receivables. Accordingly, the management of the Company believed that the credit risk of the Company has been significantly reduced.

The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on the expected credit losses over the duration of existence of the accounts receivable. Expected credit losses over the duration of existence are based on the customer's past default history, current financial position and past collection experience, observable changes in national or regional economic conditions related to receivables, and the debtor's industry indicators.

If there is evidence that the counterparty is in serious financial difficulty and the Company cannot reasonably expect to recover the amount, for example, if the counterparty is in liquidation, the Company

194

directly writes off the related accounts receivable but continues the collection activities, and the amount recovered from the collection is recognized in profit or loss.

Based on the above considerations, the Company measured the allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on the aging range of accounts receivable (based on the post date) and evaluated the credit risk of individual customers as follows:

Merchandises are mainly computers and peripheral software and hardware equipment for sale. Project inventories are mainly hardware and software merchandise and service costs that have been invested in projects but no revenue has been recognized.

The cost of goods sold related to inventories for the years 2022 and 2021 were $3,280,653 thousand and $3,325,713 thousand, respectively. The cost of goods sold included a loss on decline in value of inventories of $167 thousand and a gain on reversal of value of inventories of $8 thousand, respectively. The increase in net realizable value of inventories was due to the sale of inventories previously recorded as a loss on decline in value.

The Company is exposed to the following risks as a result of the pension system under the “Labor Standards Act”:

A. Investment risk: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor invests the Labor Pension Fund in domestic (and foreign) equity securities, debt securities and bank deposits through its own

  • operations and by entrusted 3rd parties, but the amount allocated to the Company's plan assets should not be less than the income at the interest rate of two-year time deposits in local banks.

  • B. Interest rate risk: A decrease in interest rates on government bonds will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation, but the return on debt investment in plan assets will also increase, which will have a partially offsetting effect on the net defined benefit obligation.

  • C. Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salary of the plan member. Therefore, increases in plan member’s salary will result in an increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The present value of the Company's defined benefit obligation was actuarially determined by a qualified actuary.

  • (3) Retained earnings and dividend policy

In accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation, if the Company made a profit in a fiscal year as concluded by the year-end accounting close, the profit shall be first used for paying taxes, making up for the cumulative losses, setting aside 10% of the remaining profit as a legal reserve unless it has reached the total amount of the Company’s paid-in capital, setting aside an amount for or reversing a special reserve in accordance with laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit, together with

202

any undistributed earnings, shall be adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors as the basis for making a distribution proposal, which shall then be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting for a resolution before distribution of bonuses to shareholders. For the distribution policy on profit-sharing remuneration for employees and directors, see Note 20 (7) on profit-sharing remuneration for employees and directors.

The principle of the Company's dividend policy is to distribute cash dividends and stock dividends in an appropriate mix, and to determine the type, amount and timing of dividends based on the actual profitability, capital budget planning and capital position of the year. The Company shall distribute cash dividends at no less than 10% of the total dividends to be distributed in the year; however, if it has more abundant surplus and capital, it may raise said percentage.

Legal reserve should be appropriated until its balance reaches the Company's total paid-in capital. Legal reserve may be used to make up for losses. If the Company has no loss, the excess of legal reserve over 25% of the total paid-in capital may be distributed in cash in addition to being capitalized as equity. When distributing earnings, the Company is required by law to provide special reserve for the net reduction of other equity items. If the net deduction of other shareholders' equity is subsequently reversed, within the portion of which, special reserve may be reversed for distribution of earnings. The Company held regular shareholders' meetings on June 15, 2022 and July 29, 2021, respectively, and resolved to approve the following distribution proposals for 2021 and 2020 earnings:

Legal reserve
Cash dividends

Customer contracts under the project contract revenue are for system integration services based on customization specifications. Revenue is recognized based on the degree of completion of the contracts, and the customer pays the contract consideration according to the contract schedule.

Merchandise sales revenue is recognized when the contractual obligations are met or when the customer has acquired control and use of the merchandises and assumes the risk of the merchandises. Service revenue

Service revenue arises when maintenance services are provided to the customer during the contract period. Part of the consideration is received in advance at the time of signing the contract and revenue is subsequently recognized over the contract period on a straight-line basis.

(7) Profit-sharing remuneration for employees and directors In accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation, if the Company makes a profit in a year, it shall pay profit-sharing remuneration for employees of not less than 3% of the pre-tax profit before paying the profit-sharing remuneration for employees. In accordance with the Board of Directors' resolutions dated March 17, 2023 and March 18, 2022, the Company would pay profit-sharing remuneration for employees at 3.01% of its profit for both of the years 2022 and 2021, in the amount of NT$9,600 thousand and NT$8,450 thousand respectively. The profit-sharing remuneration for directors was not estimated for 2022 and 2021.

205

Any change in the amount after the approval and announcement of the annual parent company only financial statements will be treated as a change in accounting estimate with an adjustment in the following year.

The actual distribution amounts for profit-sharing remunerations for employees and directors for 2021 and 2020 did not differ from the amounts recognized in the parent company only financial statements for 2021 and 2020.

If the Company may choose to have the employee compensation distributed via a stock or cash dividend, the calculation of the diluted earnings per share assumes that the bonus to employees is with a stock dividend distributed, with the weighted average number of shares outstanding included when the

207

potential common stock has a diluted effect. The dilutive effect of these potential common shares also continues to be considered in the calculation of diluted earnings per share before the number of shares awarded to employees in the following year's resolution.

23. Capital risk management

The Company conducts capital management to ensure that it can continue to operate while maximizing shareholder returns by optimizing debt and equity balances. The overall strategy of the Company has not changed since 2013.

The capital structure of the Company is composed of net debt (i.e., borrowings less cash and cash equivalents) and equity (i.e., capital stock, capital surplus, retained earnings and other equity items) of the Company.

The Company is not subject to other external capital requirements.

The Company's key management reviews the Company's capital structure annually, which includes consideration of the cost of each type of capital and the related risks. The Company will balance its overall capital structure by paying dividends, adding or repaying loans, as recommended by key management.

24. Financial instruments

  • (1) Fair value information - financial instruments not measured at fair value

The management of the Company considers that the carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value approximate their fair values, and therefore the carrying amounts of the Parent Company Only Balance Sheets are a reasonable basis for estimating fair values.

  • (4) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company's major financial instruments include investments in equity and debt instruments, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and lease liabilities. The Company's financial management department provides services to each business unit, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, and monitors and manages financial risks associated with the Company's operations through internal risk reporting that analyzes risk exposure based on risk level and breadth. These risks include market risk (including exchange rate risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

  • A. Market risk

The main financial risks to which the Company is exposed as a result of the Company's operating activities are the risk of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see a. below) and the risk of changes in interest rates (see b. below).

  • a. Exchanger rate risk

The Company engages in foreign currency-denominated sales and purchases transactions, which expose the Company to exchange rate fluctuations.

The carrying amounts of monetary assets and monetary liabilities that are not denominated in the functional currency as of the balance sheet date are disclosed in Note 28.

Sensitivity analysis

The Company is mainly affected by the fluctuation of USD exchange rate. The following describes in details the sensitivity analysis of the Company when the exchange rate of NTD (functional currency) increases and decreases by 10% against the relevant foreign currencies. 10% is the sensitivity percentage used for the Company’s internal reporting of exchange rate risk to key management and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible range of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only foreign currency monetary items in circulation and adjusts their translation at the end of the period by a 10% change in the exchange rate. When NTD appreciates 10% relative to the US dollar, net profit before tax in 2022 and 2021 will decrease by $5,205 thousand and increase $6,608 thousand respectively. If NTD depreciates by 10% against USD, the effect on net profit before tax will be the negative number for the same amount. The effect of the above exchange rate fluctuations mainly arises from foreign currency cash, and accounts payable of the Company that are outstanding at the balance sheet date and not covered by cash flow hedge.

  • b. Interest rate risk

The Company borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates, which results in interest rate risk. The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining an appropriate borrowing mix of fixed and floating interest rates.

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities exposed to interest rate risk as of the balance sheet date were as follows:

December 31, 2022 December 31, 2021 With fair value interest rate risk - Financial assets $ 518,107 $ 293,670 - Financial liabilities 3,548 41,558

209

==> picture [354 x 47] intentionally omitted <==

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis was determined based on the interest rate risk of the non-derivative instruments at the balance sheet date. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis assumes that the amount of the liability outstanding at the balance sheet date is outstanding in the reporting period. The rate of change used in the Company’s reporting interest rates internally to key management is a 25 basis point increase or decrease in interest rates, which also represents management's assessment of the range of reasonably possible changes in interest rates.

If the interest rate increases/decreases by 25 basis points, with all other variables held constant, the Company's net profit before tax for 2022 and 2021 would increase/decrease by $552 thousand and $799 thousand.

  • B. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of the Company’s financial loss resulting from the counterparties' default on contractual obligations. As of the balance sheet date, the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk of financial loss due to non-performance of counterparties' obligations and financial guarantees provided by the Company mainly arises from the carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the Parent Company Only Balance Sheet.

Before accepting a new customer, the Company assesses the credit quality of the potential customer and sets the credit limit of the customer through its internal credit and related sales management departments, and the credit limit and rating of the customer are reviewed annually. C. Liquidity risk

The Company manages and maintains a sufficient portion of cash and cash equivalents to support the Group's operations and mitigate the impact of cash flow fluctuations. The Company's management monitors the use of banking facilities and ensures compliance with the terms of borrowing contracts.

Bank loans are an important source of liquidity for the Company. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Company had unused financing facilities as described in b. Description of financing facilities below.

  • a. Liquidity and interest rate risk of non-derivative financial liabilities

The analysis of the remaining contractual maturities of non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared based on the undiscounted cash flows (including principal and estimated interest) of financial liabilities based on the earliest possible date on which the Company could be required to make repayment. Accordingly, the Company's bank loans that may be required to be repaid immediately are listed in the table below for the earliest period, without considering the probability that the bank will immediately enforce the right; the maturity analysis of other non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared based on the contractual repayment dates.

The amount of the above financial guarantee contract is the maximum amount that the Company may have to pay to fulfill its guarantee obligations if the holder of the financial guarantee contract claims the full amount of the guarantee from the guarantor. Based on the expectation at the balance sheet date, the Company believed that the possibility of paying the amount of the contract was not high.
