In response to geopolitical risks and compliance requirements, the Company continues to invest in IT services to improve operational efficiency, and is planning global operations to build a resilient enterprise. Emerging digital technologies such as cloud computing, big data, IoT, AI, and blockchain have the dual effect of assisting enterprises’ digital transformation and accelerating ESG transformation. They are known as “dual-axis transformation” and drive the development of the overall information service market.

With geopolitical conflicts breaking out at multiple locations around the world, building a resilient and trustworthy organization and supply chain has become a top priority. In addition to continuing to promote the “six core” strategic industries of information and digital, the government is also developing the “five trusted industries” of artificial intelligence to promote the “AI industrialization, industrial AI-ization” and the use of artificial intelligence to join hands with industries to innovate cross-disciplinary applications. In addition, the Digital Department is working on the “Great Software Project” to make good use of Taiwan’s hardware advantages to drive the development of the software industry and promote the upgrade of Taiwan's software industry environment. It is expected to build the software industry into Taiwan’s new trillion industry and create a golden decade for Taiwan's software industry.

According to an IDC survey report, enterprises are migrating to the cloud, and hybrid environment management has become the focus of growth in the information service market, such as hybrid cloud management, industrial cloud, cloud security solutions and more; it is predicted that the overall ICT expenditure of Taiwan’s industry will reach 3.7% in 2024, particularly in terms of IT spending, where the growth rate jumped to 5%, of which software services were the highest at 7.2%, followed by hardware at 4.8%.

IV. The Company's future development strategy

Short-term development plan
(1) Integrate system management tools to improve the efficiency and quality of corporate operations.
(2) Expand core products and professional technical services to improve overall profitability.
(3) Develop a knowledge-based economy that includes generative AI, cloud services, 5G, and information security.
(4) Develop transportation, security and business applications with intelligent operating platforms.
(5) Alliance with outstanding domestic manufacturers to explore business opportunities in

various industries at home and abroad.

Long-term development plan
(1) Cultivate high-quality IT talents and implement continuous improvement of total quality.
(2) Enhance corporate growth and innovation, and commit to the sustainable development of ESG.
(3) Demonstrate powerful system capabilities and help enterprises upgrade digital transformation with the results of generative AI.
(4) Bridging the application of cutting-edge technology industries and forming an alliance with Taiwan team for World Cup.

In 2024, the global economic environment tends to be conservative and the overall environment is full of uncertainties. However, with technological innovation and policy support, the demand for cloud, information security, generative AI, and net zero carbon reduction will continue to grow. Syscom continues to demonstrate strong system integration capabilities and seize opportunities to break new ground. As one of the most large-scale and influential system integration companies in Taiwan, Syscom is approaching its 50th anniversary. We hope that all employees will continue to work hard and innovate bravely to create long-lasting business performance and work together for the sustainable development of the company. Finally, I wish all shareholders good health and all the best to you.

Recently, it plans to promote the “Big Software Project”, which will make good use of Taiwan’s hardware advantages to drive the software industry, create a good foundation for digital development, and promote the upgrade of the digital economy industry to help the domestic digital industry to meet the big software era, and become Taiwan’s new trillion industry. Benefited from the generative AI trend, the increasing demand for information security and compliance, enterprises are investing more resources in areas such as data sovereignty, digital resilience, and supply chain reshaping. Taiwan’s information service market will show healthy and steady growth in 2023.

Information and communication technology is widely used in smart life, urban and rural areas, medical care, transportation, manufacturing and other fields, and AI is accelerating the

development of the industry. Looking forward to 2024, as the demand for cloud migration of enterprises continues, the management of hybrid environment has become the focus of growth in the information service market. As a major information service provider in Taiwan, the Company actively expands its business through hybrid cloud management, industrial cloud, cloud security and other solutions. The continuous expansion of AI terminal applications and the upgrade of hardware specifications are expected to usher in a new wave of machine replacement; in the future, the combination of 6G, satellite communication, IoT, artificial intelligence and other technologies, as well as the continuous evolution of cloud data centers, will provide more stimulation and challenges for the market.

Correlations among the upstream, midstream and downstream industries

Information technology service refers to the provision of professional infrastructure services, development and deployment services, business process services, consulting services, software support services, and hardware maintenance and operation total solution services to customers according to their specific operational needs. Revenues are primarily derived from the value of services rendered. Most of the system integration service projects include different platforms and technologies, such as system and custom application development and integration of existing application software. Because of the high degree of customization in system integration projects, each project must establish a contract to define the specifications of the solution and the output performance at different levels. The final project output is a complete system that meets the purpose and technical specifications of the project definition.

Syscom has been committed to large-scale system integration and information application services since its establishment, and continues to introduce various cutting-edge products and advanced technologies, utilizing the rich domain know-how accumulated in different fields, we provide customers with the best quality professional information services and assist enterprises in promoting digital transformation and development. Upstream players include domestic and foreign software and hardware manufacturers or agents such as Cisco, Dell/EMC, Fortinet, HPE, VMWare, and more, as well as Google Cloud Services and Microsoft Cloud Services. Downstream covers end-user organizations such as financial institutions, telecom operators, government agencies, medical institutions, transportation, educational institutions, manufacturing industries, and retail distribution.

Development trends and competition of products
(1) Information security
- The year 2023 can be said to be the year of the great leap forward in technology. Enterprises have begun to turn to technologies such as artificial intelligence, machine learning, cloud, and Web3 and more. These breakthrough technologies that bring about transformation momentum are the motors for enterprises to improve their competitiveness, and at the same time, they have also become powerful tools for hacker attacks. Since the implementation of the “Cyber Security Management Act” and the “Financial Security Action Plan Version 2.0”, the rigid demands for corporate compliance have continued to grow; and with the increasing digitalization of the supply chain, more and more supply chain-specific cyber threats have arisen, and Taiwan’s financial institutions and semiconductor industry have put in place corresponding supply chain risk management regulations.
(2) Cloud application services Faced with the impact of the pandemic in previous years, enterprises have accelerated their transformation and investment and actively adopted the cloud, in order to find more effective cloud maintenance operation management practices; according to the MIC survey report, in 2023, Taiwanese enterprises tend to have a positive attitude towards public cloud services, with a considerable increase in the number of enterprises adopting them and the amount of money invested. As the demand for enterprises to adopt the cloud continues, the management of hybrid environment has become the focus of growth in the information service market. Taiwan’s major information service providers are actively expanding their businesses through solutions such as hybrid cloud management, industrial cloud, and cloud-based security.
(3) Artificial Intelligence (AI) Generative AI has been applied to all walks of life and is gradually having a pivotal impact on people’s livelihood and society. There are many applications worthy of investment and introduction in content creation, business services, R&D and manufacturing, as well as operations and supply chain; using generative AI has become a trend, but the follow-up issues such as information security, privacy, and information accuracy cannot be ignored,

which in turn gives rise to the demand for trusted AI.

(4) Smart healthcare

The National Science and Technology Council promotes the precision health strategic industry to promote the development of precision medicine, regenerative medicine, digital medicine and other industries, and to promote the formation of the industry chain. In the future, it is an inevitable trend to develop innovative biomedical technology that is cross-disciplinary. We will continue to make use of Taiwan’s strengths in manufacturing and information and communication to continue to promote the application of biomedical big data, establish a smart medical and service infrastructure, and promote industrial integration and innovation through policy guidance to solidify Taiwan’s energy of biomedicine, connect with the world, give back to society, and truly realize the vision of precision health for all ages by 2030.

Through smart networking, cloud computing, big data, mobile internet, smart terminals and other information technologies, it is applied to the power system, water supply system, transportation system, buildings and oil and gas pipelines, factories, offices, homes and other production and manufacturing or living system in order to enhance people’s work efficiency and quality of life.

(7) Green/sustainable IT

ESG and green sustainability have become the key business challenges that enterprises must face after the COVID-19 pandemic. To a large extent, the growth momentum of sustainable development services comes from the continuous pressure from regulators on enterprises. The coercive pressure also forces companies to accelerate the development of key processes and sustainability management tools. AI analysis and other smart technologies can help companies optimize their ESG strategies and ensure compliance with the latest trends and standards. However, the promotion of generative AI and the rapid expansion of the IoT are posing increasing pressure on global data centers, and posing greater challenges to power consumption and carbon emissions.

(8) Outsourcing services

Establishing a sound and stable IT maintenance and operation plan is an important part of an enterprise’s sustainable operation plan. The recent wave of digital transformation, especially in the fields of artificial intelligence and information security protection, has increased the complexity of managing IT infrastructure within an organization, and the cost of configuration, operation, and management of IT infrastructure has continued to rise, prompting enterprises to adopt managed IT services mode. The IT outsourcing service will continue to evolve, showing a trend of diversification and specialization, to meet the needs of enterprises in new technologies such as cloud computing, big data, and artificial intelligence.

This

operation includes the finance bureau, the appointed banks by municipal treasury and the payment agencies, and the payment of fees will be made in more convenient and secure manner through this system.

(14) Mobile Point of Sale

The birth of the smartphone has destined to change the financial industry. After six to seven years of alternation, banks of all sizes have confirmed the undeniable fact that banking services need to go mobile. The success of the initial move to APPS for banking inquiry services was like a shot in the arm for mobile banking, and helped acquirers take a big step toward mPOS and establish a mPOS business. The mPOS business is a revolution in the field of acquiring, which makes the consumer card spending process faster, easier and safer. Checkout no longer happens at the checkout counter; it's an instant checkout wherever consumers are. There are 3 main plans for the mPOS system we developed:

(16) Security Information Service Platform/Diamond Guard

The Executive Yuan promotes risk management as the core of information security protection to help solve the information security problems faced by various sectors in Taiwan. The current problems faced by a number of sectors are that they only have monitoring and control, but lack a joint prevention mechanism to deal with information security problems, without an automatic response notification, and integrated operation process. Therefore, Managed Detection Response (MDR) and Security Operations analytics platform architecture (SOAPA) have become the current trend of information security technology development.

Under the guidance of national security policy, the top and foremost goal is to have products independently developed in Taiwan. As there is no other product in Taiwan that meets the requirements, the product of this project will be the first and only one in the country when it is completed.

The objectives and expected benefits of the launch of this product, SISP, are:

a. Integrate the functions of traditional SOC (SIEM) and new generation SOC products
b. Establish information security awareness (dashboard) and security threat warning lights
c. Offer intelligent ISO management tools to help customers build information security PDCA standard operating process
d. Satisfy the needs of the three major operating mechanisms of customers: ISAC, SOC, and CERT
e. Assist large customers to build information-driven cross-organizational contingency and joint defense system
(17) Cloud-Based Cross-Border Project Management Service

In response to the changing international business landscape and the pressure of managing employees from different countries and cultures, project development and order taking, as well as focusing on cost and efficiency, we plan to utilize Microsoft Cloud OS to build a cross-country Commercial Hybrid Cloud, using Microsoft Azure to eliminate the cost of purchasing large amounts of software and hardware. In addition, because Microsoft Azure adopts the system automation maintenance mode, it can solve the problem of subsequent hardware and software maintenance, and at the same time, it adopts Web Sites, Cloud Services and Cache solutions for cloud services respectively.

The innovation lies in the design of Cloud Services with a multi-tier architecture, which not only provides better load balancing mechanism and status monitoring, but also allows performance and connection monitors to configure services at any time according to different needs, such as expanding Web Role to increase the individual maximum load of network connection, or expanding Worker Role to increase the individual performance of instantaneous computation (when complex computation of large amounts of data is required), to enhance what cannot be done in a single-tier structure.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Syscom Computer Engineering Company

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Syscom Computer Engineering Company (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial 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, 2023 and 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance 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) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. 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 for the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 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.

127

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

We examined the underlying documents of original contract and related addendum used as basis for contract revenue recognized.
We verified the accuracy of accumulated incurred cost through test of details.
We assessed the appropriateness of underlying information and assumptions the management used in estimating total cost.
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 were audited by other auditors. Therefore, in our opinion on the consolidated financial statements as mentioned above, the amounts shown in such subsidiaries’ financial statements were recognized based on the audit reports prepared by other auditors. The total assets of the above subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 were NT$249,503 thousands and NT$282,734 thousands, respectively, which represented 5% and 6% of the total consolidated assets; the net operating revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 was NT$117,228 thousands and NT$152,396 thousands, which represented 2% and 3% of the net consolidated operating revenue.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Syscom Computer Engineering Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with the other matter section

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

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

128

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

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

Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
Obtain sufficient 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 group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

We also provide those charged with governance with 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023, 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.

129

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Li-Wen Kuo and Pei-De Chen.

SYSCOM COMPUTER ENGINEERING CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

(Amounts in thousands of NTD, unless stated otherwise)

General

SYSCOM COMPUTER ENGINEERING CO. (the " Company") was incorporated in July 1975. The Company mainly leases and sells computer systems and designs computer software. It also provides services for the integration of computer information systems and maintenances of computer hardware. The Company's shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since May 22, 2001.

The financial statements are presented in the Company’s functional currency, New Taiwan dollars. The Company and its subsidiaries are hereinafter collectively referred to as the "The Group ".

The Date and Procedures of Authorization of Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on March 12, 2024.

Application of New and Revised Standards and Interpretations (1) Initial application of the amendments to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, the “IFRS Accounting Standards”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC).

Except for the following, the initial application of the IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC did not have material impact on the Group’s accounting policies: Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

When applying the amendments, the Group refers to the definition of material to determine its material accounting policy information to be disclosed. Accounting policy information is material if it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. Moreover:

Accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed;
The Group may consider the accounting policy information material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial; and
Not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material.

The accounting policy information is likely to be considered material to the financial statements if that information relates to material transactions, other events or conditions and:

A. The Group changed its accounting policy during the reporting period and this change resulted in a material change to the information in the financial statements;
B. The Group chose the accounting policy from options permitted by the standards;
C. The accounting policy was developed in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” in the absence of an IFRS that specifically applies;
D. The accounting policy relates to an area for which the Group is required to make significant judgments or assumptions in applying an accounting policy, and the Group discloses those judgments or assumptions; or
E. The accounting is complex, and users of the financial statements would otherwise not understand those material transactions, other events or conditions.
Refer to Note 4 for related accounting policy information.
(2) The IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the FSC for application starting from 2024.

Note 3: The amendments provide some transition relief regarding disclosure requirements. As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group has assessed that the application of other standards and interpretations will not have a material impact on the Group’s financial position and financial performance.

(3) IFRSs issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC

Effective Date Announced by New/Amended/Revised Standards and Interpretations the IASB (Note 1) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of To be determined by IASB Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture” IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” January 1, 2023 Amendments to IFRS 17 January 1, 2023 Amendments to IFRS 17 “Initial Application of IFRS 9 and January 1, 2023 IFRS 17 - Comparative Information” Amendments to IAS 21 “Lack of Exchangeability” January 1, 2025 (Note 2)

Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above IFRS Accounting Standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

Note 2: An entity shall apply those amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. Upon initial application of the amendments, the entity recognizes any effect as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. When the entity uses a presentation currency other than its functional currency, it shall, at the date of initial application, recognize any effect as an adjustment to the cumulative amount of translation differences in equity.

As of the date the Group’s consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact of the application of other standards and interpretations on the Group’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

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

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.

(2) Basis of Preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligations less the fair value of the plan assets. The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:

A. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
B. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
C. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
(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 Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least twelve months after the reporting period.

138

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 Tables 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.

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. For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company’s foreign operations (including those subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures in other countries or currencies used different with the company) are translated into New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange differences arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and attributed to stockholders of the parent and noncontrolling 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. The cost of the prepayments for contracts was evaluated base on each contract. 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 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.

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.

139

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 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 Group's share of losses in an associate or a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in that associate and joint venture (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group’s net investment in the associate and joint venture), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate and joint venture.

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 initially measured at cost, and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss

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

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset 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 are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business 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 shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then to the other assets of the unit pro rata 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

140

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss

B. Derecognition
- On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds
- and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
(11) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets ,intangible assets (excluding 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. The Group assets are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.

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 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 on 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 when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at 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

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is mandatorily classified as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and any dividends or interest earned on such financial assets are recognized in other income and interest income, respectively; any remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in other gains or losses. Fair value is determined in the manner described in Note 26.

(b) Financial assets at amortized cost

141

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, debt instruments at amortized cost, notes receivable, accounts receivable, lease receivables, other receivables and refundable deposits, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

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

Cash equivalents include time deposits and commercial papers with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting shortterm cash commitments.

On initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVOCI. Designation at FVOCI 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 are recognized in profit or loss when the Group’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 recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable), lease receivables, as well as contract assets.

The Group always recognizes lifetime Expected Credit Loss (ECL) for accounts receivable, lease receivables and contract assets. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.

Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECL represent 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 represent 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.

The Group recognizes an impairment loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account. Derecognition of financial assets

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

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other

142

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 assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

(13) Revenue recognition

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

A. Revenue from sales

Contract revenue

Contract revenue comes from software and hardware integration services.

As the Group provides software and hardware integration services, customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Group’s performance. The effort of technical personnel and the completion of the equipment are required to perform software and hardware integration services. The Group measures the stage of completion based on the proportion of contract costs incurred on the work performed to date relative to the estimated total costs. Customers paid in installments according to contract. Contract assets are recognized over the period in which the services are performed and are reclassified to trade receivables at the point at which the customer is invoiced. If the milestone payments exceed the revenue recognized to date, then the Group recognizes contract liabilities for the difference.

When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed the total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately

Revenue from the sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of computer software, hardware and peripherals. The Group recognizes revenue and accounts receivable when performance obligations are satisfied. The performance obligations are satisfied when customers obtain control and right of use of the promised goods and bear inventory risks.

B. Revenue from the rendering of services

Revenue from the rendering of services comes from follow-up maintenance services of software and hardware during the contract period. The Group recognizes 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 finance leases, the lease payments comprise fixed payments. The net investment in a lease is measured at (a) the present value of the sum of the lease payments receivable by a lessor and any unguaranteed residual value accrued to the lessor plus (b) initial direct costs and is presented as a finance lease receivable. Finance lease income is allocated to the relevant accounting periods so as to reflect a constant, periodic rate of return on the Group’s net investment outstanding in respect of leases.

Lease payments from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases.

B. The Group as lessee.

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

143

and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets. Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments. 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 consolidated balance sheets.

(15) Government Grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Group should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

(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 net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefit expenses in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling, and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss. Net defined benefit 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

Income tax payable (refundable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.

According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the 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 and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

144

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, research and development expenditures and personnel training expenditures 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 and associates and interests in joint arrangements, 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 they 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 liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

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 Group’s accounting policies, the management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

When developing material accounting estimates, the Group considers the possible impact on the cash flow projection, growth rates, discount rates, profit abilities and other relevant material estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Critical Accounting Judgments Timing of recognition of revenue

For every contract, the Group determines whether its performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time based on the conditions in the contract and applicable regulation.

The Group generates revenue through rendering of software and hardware integration services according to contract. The effort of technical personnel and the completion of the equipment are required to perform software and hardware integration services. The Group measures the stage of completion based on the proportion of contract costs incurred on the work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs. Customers paid in installments according to contract. Contract assets are recognized over the period in which the services are performed. Contract revenue is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of each contract. The Group estimated total contract cost upon signing the contract. If the estimated cost changes, the Group amends the percentage of completion and the related contract revenue.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.

The Group purchased the common stocks of Turn Cloud Technology Service Inc. in January 2020, which was designated as investment at FVTOCI 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. Since September 14, 2023, the company has obtained approval from the Taipei Exchange for the over-the-counter trading of its stocks on the securities market.

9. Financial assets at amortized cost

			$ 231,060 100,856 $ 331,916 $ 202,721 129,195 $ 331,916

The ranges of interest rates for time deposits with original maturities of more than 3 months were approximately 0.75%-1.54% and 0.51%-1.40% per annum as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. Refer to Note 28 for information relating to financial assets at amortized cost pledged as security. Based on the Group’s assessment, the credit risk of the above-mentioned financial assets at amortized cost is not expected to be high and has not increased since initial recognition. The Group does not expect to recognize any credit loss resulting from default events on financial assets at amortized cost that are

146

possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Accordingly, no impairment loss was recognized as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

10. Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable
At amortized cost Accounts receivable Less: Allowance for impairment loss	December 31, 2023 $ 1,433,941 ( 8,243) $ 1,425,698	December 31, 2022
	(	(	$ 1,490,655 1,483) $ 1,489,172

The average credit period of sales of goods was 60 to 120 days. No interest was charged on accounts receivable.

In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.

The Group measures the loss allowance for all accounts receivable at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on accounts receivable are estimated by reference to past default experience of the debtor, an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, past experience with collecting payments, observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on receivables, as well as indicators of the industry in which the debtors operate.

The Group writes off a accounts receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation. For accounts receivable that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

Considering the above conditions, the Group assesses the credit risk of individual customers based on the aging schedule of accounts receivable (based on invoice date). The following table details the loss allowance of accounts receivable.

19. Retirement benefit plans

(1) Defined contribution plans

The Company, Coach Technology Management Inc., Wisemaker Technology Co., and Netmaker Technology Co., Ltd. of the Group adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the “LPA”), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages. (2) Defined benefit plans

The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company, Coach Technology Management Inc., Wisemaker Technology Co., and Netmaker Technology Co., Ltd. of the Group in accordance with the Labor Standards Law is operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Group contributes amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (“the Bureau”); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

The amounts included in the balance sheets in respect of the Group’s defined benefit plans were as follows:

as follows:

An analysis by function of the amounts recognized in profit or loss in respect of the defined benefit plans is as follows:

plans is as follows:
Operating costs Operating expenses		2023 $ 154 657 $ 811		2022
				$ 194 530 $ 724

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Group is exposed to the following risks:

A. Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.

154

B. Interest rate risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
C. Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:

as follows:
Discount rate Expected rate of salary increase	December 31, 2023 1.15%~1.20% 2.00%	December 31, 2022
		1.25%~1.40% 2.00%

If possible reasonable changes in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:

ncrease (decrease) as follows:
Discount rate 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease Expected rate of salary increase 0.25% increase 0.25% decrease	December 31, 2023 ( $ 3,257 ) $ 3,342 $ 3,305 ( $ 3,239 )	December 31, 2022
	( (	( (	$ 3,537 ) $ 3,633 $ 3,597 $ 3,519 )

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

Fully paid ordinary shares, which have a par value of $10, carry one vote per share and carry a right to dividends.

(2) Capital surplus

Such capital surplus arise from the difference between consideration paid or received and the carrying amount of the subsidiaries’ net assets during actual acquisition or disposal under equity transactions and from donated assets.

(3) Retained earnings and dividend policy

155

remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Company’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan. The board of directors is authorized to adopt a special resolution to distribute dividends and bonuses in cash and a report of such distribution should be submitted in the shareholders’ meeting. However, other additional distribution should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting for distribution of dividends and bonus to shareholders.

Under the dividends policy as set forth in the Articles before the amendments where the Company made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, unless the legal reserve has reached the Company’s total paid-up capital. The remaining profit shall be set aside or reverse a special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Company’s board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting for distribution of dividends and bonus to shareholders. For the policies on distribution of employees’ compensation and remuneration of directors, refer to “employee’s compensation and remuneration of directors ” in Note 22,(7).

The Company distributes both cash and share dividends, taking into account its profitability, future capital expenditure requirements and cash position. The distribution of cash dividends should not be less than 10% of the total dividends of the year. The Company may raise the percentage of cash dividend distribution only if the Company’s earnings and cash position are strong.

An appropriation of earnings to the legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

Pursuant to existing regulations, the Company is required to set aside additional special reserve equivalent to the net debit balance of the other equity interests. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses and is thereafter distributed.

The appropriations of earnings and dividends per share for 2022 and 2021 were approved in the shareholders’ meetings on June 13, 2023 and June 15, 2022, respectively, were as follows:

Legal reserve Cash dividends Cash dividends per share (NT$)		2022 $ 26,506 $ 220,000 $ 2.2	2021 $ 22,088 $ 190,000 $ 1.9

The appropriation of earnings for 2023 had been proposed by the Company’s board of directors on March 12, 2024. The appropriation and dividends per share were as follows:

Legal reserve Cash dividends Cash dividends per share (NT$)		2023 $ 27,613 $ 240,000 $ 2.4

The above appropriations for cash dividends were resolved by the Company’s board of directors, other additional distribution should be resolved in the shareholders’ meeting to be held on June 12, 2024.

24. Earnings per share

The earnings and weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding in the computation of earnings per share were as follows: Net profit for the year

earnings per share were as follows: Net profit for the year
Earnings used in the computation of basic earnings per share Earnings used in the computation of diluted earnings per share Shares Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share Effect of potentially dilutive ordinary shares: Employees’ compensation Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share		2023 $ 278,293 $ 278,293 2023 100,000 222 100,222	2022 $ 250,730 $ 250,730 (Thousands shares) 2022
				100,000 447 100,447

Since the Group offered to settle compensation paid to employees in cash or shares, the Group assumed the entire amount of the compensation will be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year

25. Capital management

The Group manages its capital to ensure that the Group will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Group’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2013.

The capital structure of the Group consists of net debt (borrowings offset by cash and cash equivalents) and equity attributable to owners of the Group (comprising issued capital, reserves, retained earnings, other equity and non-controlling interest).

The Group is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Key management personnel of the Group review the capital structure on an annual basis. As part of this review, the key management personnel consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the key management personnel, in order to balance the overall capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, or the amount of new debt issued or existing debt redeemed

26. Financial instruments

(4) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group's major financial instruments include equity and debt investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and lease liabilities. The Company’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

A. Market risk

The Group’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see a. below) and interest rates (see b. below).

a. Foreign currency risk

The Group have foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposes the Group to foreign currency risk.

The carrying amounts of the Group’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 30. Sensitivity analysis

The Group is mainly exposed to USD.

163

The following details the Group’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity rate of 10% used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and representing management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there would be an increase of $7,678 thousand and $9,995 thousand, respectively, in pre-tax profit associated with New Taiwan dollars strengthen 10% against USD. For a 10% weakening of New Taiwan dollars against USD, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and the balances would be negative. The effect of exchange rate changes was mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on USD cash, payables and borrowings, which were not hedged at the end of the reporting period.

b.

Interest rate risk

The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because the Group borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Group by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings.

The carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

Fair value interest rate risk - Financial assets - Financial liabilities Cash flow interest rate risk - Financial assets - Financial liabilities	December 31, 2023 $ 786,099 95,678 506,639 190,855	December 31, 2022
		$ 633,596 45,439 293,368 156,422

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Group’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of each liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 25 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 1 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Group’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 would increase/decrease by $789 thousand and $342 thousand, respectively.

B. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. As at the end of the reporting period, the Group’s maximum exposure to credit risk, which would cause a financial loss to the Group due to the failure of counterparties to discharge its obligation and due to the financial guarantees provided by the Group, could arise from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets.

The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. Before trading with new customers, the Group assessed the credit quality of potential customer by internal credit checking and set the credit limit which is reassessed annually.

C. Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants

164

The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group had available unutilized short-term bank loan facilities set out in b. below.

a. Liquidity and interest risk rate table for non-derivative financial liabilities The following table details the Group’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-
derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The table included both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed 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 “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 Company 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, 2023. 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 Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 are stated as follows:

Recognition of Contract Revenue

The Company 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

177

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:

We examined the underlying documents of original contract and related addendum used as basis for contract revenue recognized.
We verified the accuracy of accumulated incurred cost through test of details.
We assessed the appropriateness of underlying information and assumptions the management used in estimating total cost.
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, 2023 and 2022 of some investees in which the Company 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, 2023 and 2022, the aforementioned investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$202,135 thousands and NT$203,541 thousands, which were 4% and 5% of total assets of the Company. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, investment loss from the aforementioned equity-method investments amounted to NT$1 thousands and NT$2,371 thousands, which represented 0% and (0.8%) of the profit before income tax of the Company.

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 Company’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 Company 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 Company’s financial reporting process.

178

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:

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.
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 Company’s internal control.
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
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.
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company 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.

179

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, 2023 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 Li-Wen Kuo and Pei-De Chen.

SYSCOM COMPUTER ENGINEERING CO. Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022

(Amounts in thousands of NTD, unless stated otherwise)

General SYSCOM COMPUTER ENGINEERING CO. (the " Company") was incorporated in July 1975. The Company mainly leases and sells computer systems and designs computer software. It also provides services for the integration of computer information systems and maintenances of computer hardware. The Company's shares have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since May 22, 2001.

The financial statements are presented in the Company’s functional currency, New Taiwan dollars.

The Date and Procedures of Authorization of Financial Statements

The financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on March 12, 2024.

Application of New and Revised Standards and Interpretations (1) Initial application of the amendments to the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, the “IFRS Accounting Standards”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC).

Except for the following, the initial application of the IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC did not have material impact on the Company’s accounting policies: Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

When applying the amendments, the Company refers to the definition of material to determine its material accounting policy information to be disclosed. Accounting policy information is material if it can reasonably be expected to influence decisions that the primary users of general purpose financial statements make on the basis of those financial statements. Moreover:

Accounting policy information that relates to immaterial transactions, other events or conditions is immaterial and need not be disclosed;
The Company may consider the accounting policy information material because of the nature of the related transactions, other events or conditions, even if the amounts are immaterial; and
Not all accounting policy information relating to material transactions, other events or conditions is itself material.

The accounting policy information is likely to be considered material to the financial statements if that information relates to material transactions, other events or conditions and:

A. The Company changed its accounting policy during the reporting period and this change resulted in a material change to the information in the financial statements;
B. The Company chose the accounting policy from options permitted by the standards;
C. The accounting policy was developed in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” in the absence of an IFRS that specifically applies;
D. The accounting policy relates to an area for which the Company is required to make significant judgments or assumptions in applying an accounting policy, and the Company discloses those judgments or assumptions; or
E. The accounting is complex, and users of the financial statements would otherwise not understand those material transactions, other events or conditions.

Refer to Note 4 for related accounting policy information.

(2) The IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the FSC for application starting from 2024.

Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above IFRS Accounting Standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

187

Note 2: A seller-lessee shall apply the Amendments to IFRS 16 retrospectively to sale and leaseback transactions entered into after the date of initial application of IFRS 16.

Note 3: The amendments provide some transition relief regarding disclosure requirements. As of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company has assessed that the application of other standards and interpretations will not have a material impact on the Company’s financial position and financial performance.

(3) IFRSs issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC

Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above IFRS Accounting Standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.

Note 2: An entity shall apply those amendments for annual reporting periods beginning on or after January 1, 2025. Upon initial application of the amendments, the entity recognizes any effect as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings. When the entity uses a presentation currency other than its functional currency, it shall, at the date of initial application, recognize any effect as an adjustment to the cumulative amount of translation differences in equity.

As of the date the Company’s consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuously assessing the possible impact of the application of other standards and interpretations on the Company’s financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is complete.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (1) Statement of Compliance

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

(2) Basis of Preparation

The financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligations less the fair value of the plan assets.

The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:

A. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
B. Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
C. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the 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.

188

(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.

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

(5) Inventories

(6) Investments in subsidiaries

The Company uses the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company.

Under the equity method, the investment in subsidiaries is initially recognized at cost and the increase or decrease of carrying amount reflects the recognition of the Company’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiaries after the date of acquisition. Besides, the Company also recognizes the Company’s share of the change in other equity of the subsidiaries.

Changes in the Company’s ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Company’s loss of control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the carrying amounts of the investment of the subsidiaries and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

When the Company’s share of losses of a subsidiary exceeds its interest in that subsidiary (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company’s net investment in the subsidiary), the Company continues recognizing its share of further losses.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of a subsidiary 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 the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition is recognized immediately in profit or loss.

The Company assesses its investment for any impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the estimated recoverable amount as assessed based on the investee’s financial statements as a whole. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases, the Company recognizes a reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. An impairment loss recognized on goodwill cannot be reversed in a subsequent period.

189

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

Profits or losses resulting from downstream transactions are eliminated in full only in the parent company’s financial statements. Profits and losses resulting from upstream transactions and transactions between subsidiaries are recognized only in the parent company’s financial statements only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries of parties that are not related to the Company.

(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 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 of an associate and a joint venture equals or exceeds its interest in that associate and joint venture (which includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company’s net investment in the associate and joint venture), the Company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate and joint venture.

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 initially measured at cost, and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

190

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

(9) Intangible assets
A. Acquired separately

B. Derecognition

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

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

At the end of each reporting period, the Company 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 an 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 Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Company assets are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.

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 that the asset may be impaired.

(11) Financial instruments

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

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

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

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when the financial asset is mandatorily classified as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include

191

investments in debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

(b)Financial assets at amortized cost

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

i. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
ii. The contractual terms of the financial 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, debt instruments at amortized cost, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables and refundable deposits, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

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

On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVOCI. Designation at FVOCI 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, it will be transferred to retained earnings.

Dividends on these investments in equity instruments 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.

Impairment of financial assets and contract assets

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable), lease receivables, as well as contract assets.

The Company always recognizes lifetime Expected Credit Loss (ECL) for accounts receivable, lease receivables and contract assets. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECL when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.

The Company recognizes an impairment loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.

192

c. Derecognition 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 entity.

B. Financial liabilities
a. Subsequent measurement

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

b. Derecognition of financial liabilities

(12) Revenue recognition

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

A. Revenue from sales

Contract revenue

Contract revenue comes from software and hardware integration services.

As the Company provides software and hardware integration services, customers simultaneously receive and consume the benefits provided by the Company’s performance. The effort of technical personnel and the completion of the equipment are required to perform software and hardware integration services. The Company measures the stage of completion based on the proportion of contract costs incurred on the work performed to date relative to the estimated total costs. Customers paid in installments according to contract. Contract assets are recognized over the period in which the services are performed and are reclassified to trade receivables at the point at which the customer is invoiced. If the milestone payments exceed the revenue recognized to date, then the Company recognizes contract liabilities for the difference. When it is probable that total contract costs will exceed the total contract revenue, the expected loss is recognized as an expense immediately. Revenue from the sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of computer software, hardware and peripherals. The Company recognizes revenue and accounts receivable when performance obligations are satisfied. The performance obligations are satisfied when customers obtain control and right of use of the promised goods and bear inventory risks.

B. Revenue from the rendering of services

Revenue from the rendering of services comes from follow-up maintenance services of software and hardware during the contract period. The Company recognizes 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

Under finance leases, the lease payments comprise fixed payments. The net investment in a lease is measured at (a) the present value of the sum of the lease payments receivable by a lessor and any unguaranteed residual value accrued to the lessor plus (b) initial direct costs and is presented as a finance lease receivable. Finance lease income is allocated to the relevant accounting periods so as to reflect a constant, periodic rate of return on the Company’s net investment outstanding in respect of leases.

Lease payments from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases.

B. The Company as lessee

193

The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

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

(14) Government Grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognizes as expenses the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Specifically, government grants whose primary condition is that the Company should purchase, construct or otherwise acquire non-current assets are recognized as deferred revenue and transferred to profit or loss on a systematic and rational basis over the useful lives of the related assets.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Company with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

(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 defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liability (asset) are recognized as employee benefit expenses in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the changes to the asset ceiling, and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit 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
Income tax payable (refundable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined
according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.

194

According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.

Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.

B.
Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, research and development expenditures and personnel training expenditures 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 and associates and interests in joint arrangements, 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 they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the 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 about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates. When developing material accounting estimates, the Company considers the possible impact on the cash flow projection, growth rates, discount rates, profit abilities and other relevant material estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Critical accounting judgments Timing of recognition of revenue

For every contract, the Company determines whether its performance obligation is satisfied over time or at a point in time based on the conditions in the contract and applicable regulation.

The Company generates revenue through rendering of software and hardware integration services according to contract. The effort of technical personnel and the completion of the equipment are required to perform software and hardware integration services. The Company measures the stage of completion based on the proportion of contract costs incurred on the work performed to date relative to the estimated total contract costs. Customers paid in installments according to contract. Contract assets are recognized over the period in which the services are performed. Contract revenue is recognized by reference to the stage of completion of each contract. The Company estimated total contract cost upon signing the contract. If the estimated cost changes, the Company amends the percentage of completion and the related contract revenue.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments’ fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Company’s strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.

The Company purchased the common stocks of Turn Cloud Technology Service Inc. in January 2020, which was designated as investment at FVTOCI 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. Since September 14, 2023, the company has obtained approval from the Taipei Exchange for the over-the-counter trading of its stocks on the securities market.

196

Refer to Note 26 for information relating to financial assets at amortized cost pledged as security. Based on the Company’s assessment, the credit risk of the above-mentioned financial assets at amortized cost is not expected to be high and has not increased since initial recognition. The Company does not expect to recognize any credit loss resulting from default events on financial assets at amortized cost that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Accordingly, no impairment loss was recognized as of December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Accounts receivable

Accounts receivable
At amortized cost Accounts receivable Less: Allowance for impairment loss	December 31, 2023 $ 1,337,728 ( 769) $ 1,336,959	December 31, 2022
	(	(	$ 1,395,696 769) $ 1,394,927

The average credit period of sales of goods was 60 to 120 days. No interest was charged on accounts receivable.

In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Company has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Company’s credit risk was significantly reduced.

The Company measures the loss allowance for all accounts receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on accounts receivable are estimated by reference to past default experience of the debtor, an analysis of the debtor’s current financial position, past experience with collecting payments, observable changes in national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on receivables, as well as indicators of the industry in which the debtors operate.

The Company writes off a accounts receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery, e.g. when the debtor has been placed under liquidation. For accounts receivable that have been written off, the Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

Considering the above conditions, the Company assesses the credit risk of individual customers based on the aging schedule of accounts receivable (based on invoice date). The following table details the loss allowance of accounts receivable.

(1) Defined contribution plans

The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (the “LPA”), which is a statemanaged defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees’ individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.

(2) Defined benefit plans

The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Law is operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Company contributes amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (“the Bureau”); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

The amounts included in the balance sheets in respect of the Company’s defined benefit plans were as follows:

An analysis by function of the amounts recognized in profit or loss in respect of the defined benefit plans is as follows:

Operating expenses		2023 $ 812		2022 $ 718

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:

A. Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
B. Interest rate risk: A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
C. Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.

as follows:
Discount rate Expected rate of salary increase	December 31, 2023 1.15% 2.00%	December 31, 2022

23. Capital management

The Company manages its capital to ensure that the Company will be able to continue as going concerns while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance. The Company’s overall strategy remains unchanged from 2013.

The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt (borrowings offset by cash and cash equivalents) and equity attributable to owners of the Company (comprising issued capital, reserves, retained earnings and other equity).

The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Key management personnel of the Company review the capital structure on an annual basis. As part of this review, the key management personnel consider the cost of capital and the risks associated with each class of capital. Based on recommendations of the key management personnel, in order to balance the overall capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, or the amount of new debt issued or existing debt redeemed

Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company's major financial instruments include equity and debt investments, accounts receivable, accounts payable and lease liabilities. The Company’s Corporate Treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

A. Market risk

The Company’s activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see a. below) and interest rates (see b. below).

a. Foreign currency risk

The Company have foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposes the Company to foreign currency risk.

The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 28.

Sensitivity analysis

The Company is mainly exposed to USD.

The following details the Company’s sensitivity to a 10% increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity rate of 10% used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and representing management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and foreign currency forward contracts designated as cash flow hedges and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 10% change in foreign currency rates. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, there would be an increase of $8,625 thousand and $5,205 thousand, respectively, in pre-tax profit associated with New Taiwan dollars strengthen 10% against USD. For a 10% weakening of New Taiwan dollars against USD, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and the balances would be negative. The effect of exchange rate changes was mainly attributable to the exposure outstanding on USD cash, payables and borrowings, which were not hedged at the end of the reporting period.

b.

Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because the Company borrow funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings.

The carrying amounts of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

Fair value interest rate risk - Financial assets - Financial liabilities Cash flow interest rate risk - Financial assets	December 31, 2023 $ 677,269 82,538 437,492	December 31, 2022
		$ 518,107 3,548 220,766

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Company’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating

212

rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of each liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 25 basis point increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If interest rates had been 1 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 would increase/decrease by $1,094 thousand and $552 thousand, respectively.

B. Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. As at the end of the reporting period, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk, which would cause a financial loss to the Company due to the failure of counterparties to discharge its obligation and due to the financial guarantees provided by the Company, could arise from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets.

The Company adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties. Before trading with new customers, the Company assessed the credit quality of potential customer by internal credit checking and set the credit limit which is reassessed annually.

C. Liquidity risk

The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Company’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

The Company relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company had available unutilized short-term bank loan facilities set out in b. below

a. Liquidity and interest risk rate table for non-derivative financial liabilities
The following table details the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its
non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The table included both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.
