Independent Auditors’ Report (113) No. Finance-Auditing-Reporting- 23003198

The Board of Directors and Shareholders

Tecom Co., LTD.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Tecom Co., LTD. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together referred as “the parent company only financial statements”).

In our opinion, making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors of our audit report the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Tecom Co., LTD. as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, in conformity with the requirements of 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 Parent Company Only Financial Statements” section of our report. We are independent of Tecom Co., LTD. 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 our 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

3

The key audit matter about the parent company only financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2023 is as below:

Inventory Valuation

Description

Tecom Co., LTD. measures the inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Please refer to Notes 5(2) for accounting assumptions and judgments, major sources of estimation uncertainty and information for inventory respectively. Please refer to Note 6(5) for the explanations about inventories. Inventory and allowance for inventory valuation loss are NT$ 147,812 thousand and NT$42,110 thousand, respectively as of December 31, 2023. Tecom Co., LTD. measures the inventories at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the large inventory amount, Tecom Co. is 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 rationality of policies on allowance for inventory valuation loss.

  2. Selected specific part numbers and verified the net realizable value.

  3. Checked the allowance for inventory valuation loss recognized.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the requirements of 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 parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error. In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of Tecom Co., LTD. disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate Tecom Co., LTD. or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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

4

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only 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 parent company only 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 parent company only 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 Tecom Co., LTD.

  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 Tecom Co., LTD. 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 parent company only 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 Tecom Co., LTD. to cease to continue as a going concern.

5
  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the parent company only 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 Tecom Co., LTD. to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company 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 2023 parent company only 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 separate financial statements set out below have been consistently applied to all the periods presented.

(1) Compliance statement

These separate financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers.

  • (2) Basis of preparation

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

    • (a) Financial assets 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 International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the separate financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

(3) Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The separate financial statements are presented in “New Taiwan Dollars (NTD)”, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

  • 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.
~14~

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 are re -translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the financial reporting period. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation are recognized in profit or loss.

  • 3.Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the financial reporting period. The translation differences are recognized in profit or loss as part of the fair value gain or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the financial reporting period. The translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary 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 (losses)”.

(4) Classification of current and non - current items

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

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

  • (b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

  • (c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

  • (d) Except cash or equivalents that are restricted for exchange or payment of liabilities within the next twelve months in the balance sheet.

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

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

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

  • (b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading purposes;

  • (c) The liabilities due within the next twelve months of the balance sheet date ;

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

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

  • (5) 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 Company has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognize changes in fair value in other comprehensive.

  • 2.A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

  • 3.At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value. The changes in fair value of equity instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income. The cumulative gain or loss 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. Dividends are recognized in profit or loss as dividend revenue when the Company’s right to receive payment of the dividend is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

  • (6) Financial assets at amortized cost

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

~15~
  - (1) The objective of the Company’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.

  - (2) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.
  • 2.A regular way purchase or sale of financial assets at amortized cost are recognized and derecognized, as applicable, using trade date accounting.

  • 3.At initial recognition, the Company 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 Company’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.

  • (7) Accounts and notes receivable

  • 1.Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Company 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.

  • (8) Impairment of financial assets

At each balance sheet date, the Company shall assess whether the credit risk on financial assets at amortized cost has increased significantly since initial recognition. The Company shall consider all the reasonable and provable information (including foreseeing information). If the credit risk on the financial assets has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company shall measure the loss allowance for that instrument at an amount equal to 12 -month expected credit losses. If the credit risk on a financial instrument has increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company shall measure the loss allowance for that instrument at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. For those accounts receivables or contract assets not containing significant financing component, the Company shall measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

  • (9) Derecognition of financial assets

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

– (10) Leasing arrangements (lessor) operating leases

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.

(11) 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.

~16~

(12) Investments accounted for under equity method /subsidiaries and associates

  1. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entity) controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

  2. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s interest in the subsidiaries. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

  3. The Company’s share of its subsidiaries’ post -acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post -acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Company’s share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company should continue to recognize losses in proportion to its ownership.

  4. 4.Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transaction with non -controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non -controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.

  5. 5.In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Company does not subscribe or acquire new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital reserve’ 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 Company’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.

  6. The related enterprises refer to all individuals over which the Company has significant influence but no control. Generally, they are directly or indirectly holding more than 20% of the voting rights of the Company. The Company adopts the equity method for investment in related enterprises, and the acquisition is recorded in cost.

  7. 7.An investment in an associate is adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate in profit or loss and other comprehensive income accordingly. If the Company’s share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate (including any receivables without collaterals), the Company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. After the Company’s interest is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.

  8. 8.When the equity changes of non-operating income and other comprehensive income of the affiliated companies occur without affecting the ratio of shareholding in the affiliated companies, the Company shall record such equity changes in “Capital Reserves” in proportion to the ratio of shareholding.

  9. The Company’s share of unrealized profits or losses arising from transactions between the Company and associates are eliminated. Unless transactions provide evidence of an impairment loss of the assets transferred, the unrealized losses shall be eliminated as well. Appropriate adjustments of accounting policies of the associates have been made to be uniform with the accounting policies of the Company.

  10. When the Company disposes an associate, if the Company losses significant influence of the associate, the amount previously recognized in other comprehensive income which relates to the associate, the accounting treatment shall be the same as disposal of the related assets and liabilities. That is, if a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income by the Company would be reclassified to profit or loss on the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, the Company reclassifies the gain or loss to profit or loss. If the Company still has significant influence over the associate, the Company shall only reclassify to profit or loss the proportion of the gain or loss that had previously been recognized in other comprehensive income relating to that reduction in ownership interest

~17~
  1. According to the Accounting Standards for the Preparation of Financial Reports of Securities Issuers, the income and other comprehensive income of the individual financial report in the current period should be the same as the apportionment of the income and other comprehensive income belonging to the parent company in the consolidated financial report based on the basis of consolidation. The equity of the individual financial report should be the same as the equity belonging to the parent company in the consolidated financial report based on the basis of consolidation.

(13) 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 Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  • 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 residual value ,the useful life, and depreciation method of an item of property, plant, and equipment shall be reviewed at each financial year -end and, if expectations of residual value and useful live differ from previous estimates, or there are significant changes in the pattern in which the asset’s future economic benefits are expected to be consumed, the changes shall be accounted for as a change in an accounting estimate in accordance with IAS 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors.” The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as f ollow:

Buildings and structures 2555years
Machinery equipment 35years
Test equipment 35years
Other equipment 25years

(14) 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 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.

Right-of-use assets are measured by cost model subsequently. The Company shall depreciate the right-of-use assets from the commencement date to the earlier 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~

(15) Investment properties

Investment properties is recognized as cost and is subsequently measured under the cost model. Depreciation is recorded by the straight -line method on assets other than land, with a useful life ranging from 10 to 55 years.

(16) 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.

(17) Impairment of non - financial asset

If any indication an asset may be impaired is present, the Company shall assess the recoverable amount of the asset at the balance sheet date. If the recoverable amount of the asset is less than it carrying amount, impairment loss shall be recognized. Recoverable amount is the higher of the asset’s net fair value and its value in use. If the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss shall be reversed. The increased carrying amount of an asset attributable to a reversal of an impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of amortization or depreciation, had no impairment loss ben recognized for the asset in prior years.

(18) Borrowings

  1. Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Subsequently, 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 as interest expenses using the effective interest method.

  2. 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.

(19) 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.

(20) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

(21) 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.

(22) Bonds payable

Ordinary corporate bonds issued by the Company are initially recognized at fair value less transaction costs. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortized to profit or loss over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method as an adjustment to ‘finance costs.

~19~

(23) Provisions

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

(24) Employee benefit

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.

  • (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 high-quality corporate bonds that are denominated in the currency in which the benefits will be paid, and that have terms to maturity approximating to the terms of the related pension liability; when there is no deep market in high -quality corporate bonds, the Company uses interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) instead.

    • B. 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.

  • 3.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.

(25) 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.

  • 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 shareholders meeting resolves the earning distribution .

~20~
  1. 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 financial statements. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction 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, 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 (or tax law) 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.

  2. 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.

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

(26) Share capital

  1. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. The classification of preferred shares is based on the evaluation of the specific rights attached to the preferred 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.

  2. 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.

(27) Revenue recognition

1.Sales of goods

  • (1) The Company is engaged in manufacture and sales of communication systems, and smart electromechanical related products. Sales are recognized when control of the products has transferred, being when the products are delivered to the customer, 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) Sales revenue is recognized based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated sales discounts. Historical experience is usually used to estimate the sales discounts. Revenue is recognized only to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal in the amount will not occur, and shall be re-estimated at each balance sheet date. 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 Company does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.

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

  • (4) An accounts 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 Customer shall pay 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 revenue after the transfer of goods control.

  • 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.

(28) Government grants

Government grants shall be recognized at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attaching to them, and that the grants will be received. Government grants shall be recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes as expenses the related cost for which the grants are intended to compensate.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS ON UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of these separate financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions at the end of the financial reporting period and estimates concerning future events. The resulting accounting estimates and assumptions might be different from the actual results, and will be continually evaluated and dusted based on historical experience and other factors; and the related information is addressed below:

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

None.

  • (2) Critical accounting estimates and assumption s

Evaluation of inventories

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

As of December 31,2023, the carrying amount of the Company’s inventories were $105,702.

Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.

  • B. The Company 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. 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 Company’s other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 by $2,662 and 4,991, respectively.
~52~

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • A. The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from short-term and long-term borrowings with variable rates which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s borrowings at variable rates were denominated in USD and NTD.

  • B. Borrowings of the Company are measured at amortized cost and the interest rate will be repriced according to the contractual agreement every year, thus the Company 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, 2023 and 2022 would have decreased or increased by $5,256 and $8,584, respectively, mainly as a result of interest expenses varying by floating rate borrowings.

  • (2) Credit risk

  • A. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments. Company 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 at amortized cost.

  • B. The Company manages credit risk in terms of the Company. The Company 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 Company 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 under general model

    • (1) The Company 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 Company 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 at amortized cost held by the Company include time 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.

  • D. Credit Risk Impairment Assessment of Accounts Receivable and Notes Receivable

    • (1) The Company 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 Company 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, 2023 and 2022, as follows

(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 listed and over-the-counter stocks invested by the Company shall be attributed accordingly.

  • Level 2 Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  • Level 3 Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

  • 2.Financial instruments not measured at fair value:

  • Except for those listed in the table below, the carrying amounts of the Company’s cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortized cost, notes receivables, accounts receivables, other receivables and guaranteed deposits paid (listed other non-current assets

~55~

and financial assets measured at amortized cost ), short-term borrowings, notes payables, accounts payables, other payables and long-term borrowings (including current portion) approximate to their fair values:
