Independent Auditors’ Report

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Tecom Co., LTD.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Tecom Co., LTD. and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together referred as “the consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the section “Other Matter — Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors” of our audit report) the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IASs), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (SIC) as endorsed and issued into effective by 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 and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended

~5~

December 31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matters about 2022 consolidated financial statements from the Group’s as below:

Inventory Valuation

Description

The Group measure the inventory valuation based on which is low between cost and net present value. Please refer to Notes 5(2) and Notes 6(6) for significant accounting assumptions and judgments, major sources of estimation uncertainty and information for inventory respectively. Inventory and allowance for inventory valuation loss are NT$ 253,470 thousand and NT$ 61,257 thousand respectively at the year ended. Due to the large inventory amount, the Group are at high risk of inventory impairment loss caused by the rapid changes in industry technology resulting in outdated products or lack of market sales value. Therefore, the valuation of inventories has been identified as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures performed for the above matter are as follows:

  1. Assessed the policy on allowance for inventory valuation loss.

  2. Estimate and verify about the net fair value of the inventory.

  3. Check the event of allowance for inventory valuation loss.

Other Matter — Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors

We have audited 2021 and 2022 individual financial statement for, and we claim it will be clean report.

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 requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Group 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

~6~

alternative but to do so.

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

Auditor’s 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 auditor’s 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 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:

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

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

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability to continue as a going concern of the Group. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s 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 auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease

~7~

to continue as a going concern.

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

  2. 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 a statement 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 2022 consolidated financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Unless otherwise stated, the principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements set out below have been consistently applied to all the periods presented.

(1) Compliance statement

The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the FSC (collectively, referred herein as the “IFRSs”).

~16~

(2) Basis of preparation

  • A.Except for the following items, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention

  • (a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss

  • (b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • (c) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

  • B.The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

(3) Basis of consolidation

  • A.Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements

  • (a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.

  • (b) Transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses between companies within the Group have been eliminated. The accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted as necessary to be consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.

  • (c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.

  • (d) If the changes in the shares of the subsidiaries do not result in a loss of control (transactions with non-controlling interests), they are treated as equity transactions, that is, transactions between the owners. The difference between the adjustment amount of non-controlling interests and the fair value of the consideration paid or receivable is recognized directly in equity.

  • (e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. The accounting principles of all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary shall be as same as the basis of dispose of related assets or liabilities, which means any gain or loss previously recognized as other comprehensive income upon disposal of the related assets or liabilities will be reclassified to profit or loss when control of the subsidiary is lost.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

~19~

  • 1.Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  • 2.Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 3.Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

  • 4.All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within “other gains and losses”.

  • (5). Classification of current and non - current items

  • 1.Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:

    • (1) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

    • (2) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

    • (3) Assets and liabilities to be realized within the next twelve months;

    • (4) Cash or cash equivalents, except those that are restricted to exchanging or settling liabilities within at least twelve months after the date of the balance sheet;

The Group classifies all assets not meeting the above criteria as non-current assets.

  • 2.Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:

  • (1) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;

  • (2) Liabilities arising mainly from trading purposes;

  • (3) Those expected to be settled within twelve months after the balance sheet date;

  • (4) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

The Group classifies all liabilities not meeting the above criteria as non-current liabilities.

  • (6). Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the above criteria and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitment in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

(7). Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  • 1.Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • 2.On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

  • 3.At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognizes the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognizes the gain or loss in profit or loss.

  • 4.The Group recognizes the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of

~20~

the dividend can be measured reliably.

  • (8). Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

  • 1.Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognize changes in fair value in other comprehensive.

  • 2.On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

  • At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value. The cumulative gain or loss recognized in other comprehensive income when equity instruments are measured at fair value with changes recognized in other comprehensive income shall not be reclassified to profit or loss upon derecognition, but instead shall be transferred to the “retained earnings” item. The right to receive dividends is established and the related economic benefits are likely to flow into the Group and the amount of dividends can be reliably measured, the Group will recognize dividend income in the profit and loss.

  • (9). Financial assets at amortized cost

  • 1.Financial assets at amortized cost is those that meet all of the following criteria:

    • (1) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows. (2) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
  • 2.On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortized cost are recognized and derecognized using trade date accounting.

  • 3.At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. Interest income from these financial assets is included in finance income using the effective interest method. A gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized or impaired.

  • 4.The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • 5.The bank deposit which is subject to restriction on use does not meet the definition of cash and cash equivalents, and is classified as financial assets measured at amortized cost.

  • (10). Accounts and notes receivable

  • 1.Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.

  • 2.The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

~21~

(11). Impairment of financial assets

For debt instruments measured financial assets at amortized cost including accounts receivable that have a significant financing component, at each balance sheet date, the Group recognizes the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognizes impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable or contract assets that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognizes the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.

(12). Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset has expired.

– (13). Leasing arrangements operating lease

Lease income from an operating lease net of any incentives given to the lessee is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(14). Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item-by-item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs of related variable selling expenses.

(15). Investments accounted for under the equity method / associates

  • 1.Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.

  • 2.The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

  • 3.When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognizes change in ownership interests in the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.

  • 4.Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

  • 5.In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and ‘investments accounted for under the equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If the associated enterprises still have a significant impact, only the amount previously recognized in other comprehensive income shall be transferred out proportionately in the manner described above.

~22~

(16). Property, plant and equipment

  • 1.Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.

  • 2.Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  • 3.Plant and equipment that apply cost model are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each component of property, plant and equipment that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately.

  • 4.The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change.

The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings 2555 years
Machinery and equipment 35 years
Computer and communication equipment 35 years
Other equipment 25 years

(17). Lessee 's lease transactions Right - of - use Assets / Lease liability

  • 1.The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the inception of the lease. When a lease contract is a short-term lease or a lease of a low-value underlying asset, the lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • 2.Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of the lease payments outstanding at the inception of the lease, discounted at the Company's incremental borrowing rate of interest. Lease payments are fixed payment rental payments.

  • 3.Right-of-use assets are recognized at cost at the inception of the lease, which is the original measurement of lease liabilities and any original direct costs incurred.

When measuring subsequent costs, depreciation expenses shall be recorded at the earlier date of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. When re-evaluating lease liabilities, any re-measurement amounts of lease liabilities shall be adjusted accordingly with the right-of-use asset.

(18). Intangible assets

Intangible assets including computer software and technology are amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 1 to 3 years.

(19). Impairment of non - financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior periods no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognized.

~23~

(20). Borrowings

  • 1.Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

  • When it is likely that some or all of the credit limit will be drawn down, the cost incurred at the establishment of the limit is recognized as transaction costs of the loan and deferred to be recognized as an adjustment to the effective interest rate when advances are made; when it is unlikely that some or all of the credit limit will be drawn down, the cost is recognized as a prepayment and amortized over the period related to the limit.

(21). Notes and accounts payable

  • 1.Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.

  • 2.The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(22). Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is either discharged or cancelled or expires.

(23). Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  • (24). Provisions

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

(25). Employee benefits

  • 1.Short-term employee benefits

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

  • 2.Pensions

  • (1) Defined contribution plans

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

~24~

  • (2) Defined benefit plans

    • A. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Company in current period or prior periods. The liability recognized in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of highquality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high-quality corporate bonds, the Company uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.

    • B. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plan are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retaining earning.

  • Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration

Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognized as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates.

(26). Income tax

  • 1.The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.

  • 2.The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

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

  • Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At the end of the balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.

  • Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheets when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheets when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

~25~

  1. A deferred tax asset shall be recognized for the carryforward of unused tax credits to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilized.

  2. (27). Share capital

  3. 1.Equity is classified in ordinary shares. The classification of special shares is based on the evaluation of the specific rights attached to the special shares in relation to the substance and definition of the contractual agreement and financial liabilities and equity instruments. When the basic characteristics of financial liabilities are displayed, they are classified as liabilities, otherwise they are classified as equity. The net amount after deducting income tax from the increase in costs directly related to the issuance of new shares is listed in equity as a price deduction.

  4. When the Company repurchases the issued shares, the consideration paid shall be recognized as a reduction of shareholders’ equity after netting off any directly attributable incremental costs. When the repurchased shares are reissued, the difference between the sales proceeds received and the carrying amount, net of any directly attributable incremental costs and any related income taxes, shall be recognized as an adjustment to equity.

  5. (28). Revenue recognition

  6. 1.Sales of goods

    • (1) The Group is engaged in manufacture and sales of communication systems, smart electromechanical and optical fiber related products. Sales are recognized when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer ’s acceptance of the products. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

    • (2) Revenue from the sale is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated volume discounts and sales discounts. Historical experience is usually used to estimate the discounts and returns. A refund liability is recognized at expected sales discounts payable to customers in relation to sales made until the end of the reporting period. The sales are made mainly with a credit term of open account 30 to 120 days. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods or services and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.

    • (3) The Group’s obligation to provide a repair for faulty products under the standard warranty terms is recognized as a provision.

    • (4) A receivable is recognized when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

    • (5) If the customer pays the contract price according to the payment terms agreed upon, if the customer pays in advance before the transfer of goods control, it shall be recognized as a contract liability and recognized as income after the transfer of goods control.

  7. 2.Costs of obtaining contracts with customers

Although the incremental costs incurred in obtaining customer contracts are expected to be recoverable, as the related contract period is less than one year, such costs are expensed upon occurrence.

~26~

(29). Government subsidy

When the government subsidy is reasonably certain that the Company will comply with the additional conditions of the subsidy and will be recognized according to fair value when receiving the subsidy, if the nature of the government subsidy is to compensate for the expenses incurred by the group, the government subsidy will be recognized as the current period income or loss on the basis of a systematic basis in the period of related expenses.

(30). Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal management reports provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The chief operating decision-maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS ON UNCERTAINTY

When preparing these consolidated financial statements, the management has exercised its judgment to determine the accounting policies adopted and has made accounting estimates and assumptions based on reasonable expectations of future events, considering the circumstances as of the balance sheet date. Significant accounting estimates and assumptions may involve inherent uncertainties and could differ from actual results. The management will continue to evaluate and adjust these estimates and assumptions based on historical experience and other factors. Such estimates and assumptions carry a risk of significant adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the next financial year. Please refer to the following explanation regarding the uncertainties associated with significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions:

(1) Critical judgments in applying the Group ’s accounting policies

None.

  • (2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

  • 1.Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group must determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date based on judgments and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value.

As of December 31, 2022 the book value of the Group’s inventories was $192,213.

  1. Availability of deferred tax assets

When assessing the recoverability of deferred tax assets, significant accounting judgments and estimates must be made by management, including assumptions about expected future sales growth and profit margins. Any changes in the global economic and industry environment may lead to a significant adjustment to deferred tax assets.

On December 31, 2022, the deferred tax asset recognized by the Group was $115,981.

Price risk

  • A. The Group’s equity instruments, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity instruments, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.

~56~

  • B. The Group mainly invests in equity instruments comprised of shares and open-end funds issued by the domestic companies. The value of equity instruments is susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future performance of equity markets. Assuming a hypothetical increase or decrease of 1% in the price of the aforementioned financial assets at fair value through profit or loss while the other conditions remain unchanged could increase and decrease the Group’s net income after tax for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 by $105 and $736, respectively. A change of increase or decrease 1% in the price of the aforementioned financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income could increase or decrease the Group’s other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 by $4,991 and $5,714, respectively.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • A. The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term and short-term borrowings with variable rates which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, the Group’s borrowings at variable rates were denominated in USD and NTD.

  • B. Loans of the Group are measured at amortized cost and the interest rate will be repriced according to the contractual agreement every year, thus the Group is exposed to the risk of future market rate fluctuations.

  • C. If interest rates on borrowings had increased or decreased 1% with all other variables held constant, net income after-tax for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 would have decreased or increased 7,640 and $8,025, respectively, mainly as a result of higher interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

  • (2) Credit risk

  • A. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments. Group is exposed to credit risks from accounts receivables that the counterparty is unable to pay off by the payment term, and the contractual cash flows from investments in debt instruments at amortized cost.

  • B. The Group manages credit risk in terms of the Group. The Group only accepts banks or institutions assessed to be with good credit quality as correspondent bank or financial institutions. Based on the internal credit policies, the Group shall manage and implement credit risk analysis before determine payment terms and delivery terms with new customers. Internal risk control evaluates customers’ credit quality by considering the financial condition, past experiences, and other factors. The individual risk limits are established by the management level according to the internal rating, and the credit limit is monitored regularly.

  • C. Credit risk impairment assessment of financial assets at amortized cost

    • (1) The Group adopts IFRS 9 assuming that if the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition; if past due over 90 days, a default has occurred.

    • (2) The Group has taken into consideration of the forward-looking considerations to adjust historical and current information and consider the credit ratings of the issuing banks to estimate the expected credit losses.

    • (3) The financial assets measured at cost after impairment held by the Group include deposits in banks and restricted deposits in banks, the credit ratings of which are all good, without any overdue in the past. Considering the overall economic environment without significant changes, the risk of credit loss is extremely low and the impact on the financial statements is also small.

~57~

  • D. Credit Risk Impairment Assessment of Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable (1) The Group estimates the expected credit losses based on the simplified approach with a loss rate method for the receivables and receivables from customers according to their ratings.

  • (2) The Group has incorporated an adjustment to the loss rate based on past and current information over a certain period to estimate the provision for losses on receivables and receivables as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, as follows:

The Group does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated through the maturity date analysis to be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash flow amount to be significantly different.

(3) Fair value information

  • 1.The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks is included in Level 1.

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Group’s investment in derivative instruments is included in Level 2.

  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s equity investment without active market is included in Level 3.

~59~

  • 2.Financial instruments not measured at fair value:

The carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments not measured at fair value (including cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, financial assets at amortized cost (excluding bank debentures), short-term loans, notes and accounts payable, other payables and long-term loans approximate to their fair values:

    • A. The Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1), which is closing price of listed shares.

    • B. Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques.

    • C.When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, the Group adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.
