INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Syscom Computer Engineering Company

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Syscom Computer Engineering Company and its subsidiaries (collectively, the “Group”) as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the three months then ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 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 International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting,” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the Basis for Qualified Conclusion paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standards on Review Engagements of the Republic of China 2410 “Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

As disclosed in Note 11 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of non-significant subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph were not reviewed. As of March 31, 2024 and 2023, combined total assets of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$383,162 thousand and NT$384,949 thousand, respectively, both representing 9% of the consolidated total assets, and combined total liabilities of these subsidiaries were NT$241,722 thousand and NT$261,484 thousand, respectively, representing 10% and 13%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities; for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the amounts of combined total comprehensive loss of these subsidiaries were NT$21,384 thousand and NT$12,367 thousand, respectively, representing (27) % and (14)% respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income. As disclosed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$67,588 thousand and NT$68,593 thousand, respectively, and for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, the comprehensive income(loss) of these equity-method investments were NT$117 thousand and NT$(647) thousand, respectively, which were calculated on the basis of financial statements that have not been reviewed. The related information on investments in subsidiaries and associates stated above, as shown in Note 30 to the consolidated financial statements, was also unreviewed.

Qualified Conclusion

Based on our reviews, except for the adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of the non-significant subsidiaries, the investments accounted for using the equity method as described in the preceding paragraph been reviewed, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial

position of the Group as of March 31, 2024 and 2023, and of its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting”endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

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

The standards, procedures and practices to review such consolidated financial statements are those generally applied in the Republic of China.

For the convenience of readers, the independent auditors’ review report and the accompanying consolidated financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language independent auditors’ review report and consolidated financial statements shall prevail.

SYSCOM COMPUTER ENGINEERING CO. AND SUBSIDIARIES Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Three Months Ended March 31, 2024 and 2023

(Amounts in thousands of NTD, unless otherwise indicated)

1. 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 ".

  1. The Date and Procedures of Authorization of Financial Statements

The consolidated financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on May 9, 2024.

  1. Application of New and Revised Standards and Interpretations

  2. (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).

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.

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

Effective Date Announced by New/ Revised /Amended Standards and Interpretations the IASB (Note 1) Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution To be determined by IASB

of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Venture” IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosures in Financial January 1, 2027 Statements” 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 to IAS 21, the Group shall not restate the comparative information and shall recognize any effect of initially applying the amendments as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings or, if applicable, to the cumulative amount of translation differences in equity as well as affected assets or liabilities.

IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements”

IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1” Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:

  • Items of income and expenses included in the statement of profit or loss shall be classified into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discounted operations categories.

  • The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.

  • Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Group shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Group shall disaggregate items with

-11-

  • dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Group labels items as ‘other’ only if it cannot find a more informative label.

  • Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the Group as a whole, the Group shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.

Except for the above impact, as of the date the 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

These interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. The consolidated financial statements do not present all the disclosures required for a complete set of annual consolidated financial statements prepared under 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) 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 11 and Tables 4 and 5 for details of subsidiaries, shareholding percentage and principal businesses.

-12-

  • (4) Other significant accounting policies

Except for the following, please refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended 2023.

  • A. 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.

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

  • B. Defined benefits of retirement

Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations for the current period, and for amendments in significant plans, settlements, or other significant one-off events.

  • C. Income tax expense

  • Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. The interim period income tax expense is accrued using the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings, that is, the estimated average annual effective income tax rate applied to the pre-tax income of the interim period.

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

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

The consolidated financial statements for critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty are consistent with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023.

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.

Refer to Note 27 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 possible within 12 months after the reporting date. Accordingly, no impairment loss was recognized as of March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023 and March 31, 2023.

The average credit period of sales of goods was 30 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.

-14-

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. March 31, 2024

The shareholders of the Company held their regular meeting on June 13, 2023 and in that meeting, resolved the amendments to the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. Under the dividends policy as set forth in the Articles, 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. 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 21,(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.

(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 29.

-29-

Sensitivity analysis

The Group is mainly exposed to USD.

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 three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023, there would be an increase of $6,768 thousand and $9,036 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:

as follows:
Fair value interest rate

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 three months ended March 31, 2024 and 2023 would increase/decrease by $210 thousand and $64 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

-30-

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.

The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of March 31, 2024, December 31, 2023, and March 31, 2023, 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.
