INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Thye Ming Industrial Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Thye Ming Industrial Co., Ltd. (the "Company"), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the "parent company only financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of 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 the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. 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.
The key audit matter identified in the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 is as follows:
Occurrence of Sales Revenue from Specific Customers
The Company's main source of revenue comes from the sale of lead alloys, such as yellow and red lead, among which the growth rate of sales revenue from specific customers is significantly higher. Therefore, in accordance with the Statements on Auditing Standards on the presumption of revenue recognition as a significant risk, the occurrence of the sales revenue from these specific customers was deemed a key audit matter.
To evaluate the occurrence of the sales revenue, the following audit procedures were performed:
-
We obtained an understanding of and tested the effectiveness of internal control operations over the occurrence of revenue recognition.
-
We sample tested to verify whether the selected samples of specific customers' revenue details were consistent with the sales items and amounts received from the shipper, invoices issued and payment records. We checked whether the bill of lading had been signed by the customer or attached to shipping documents such as export declarations.
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 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 Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditors' 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 auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these 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:
-
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.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the 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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
2 -
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with 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 the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are Chiu-Yen Wu and Yu-Hsiang Liu.

IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” and consequential amendments
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1” Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:
- To classify items of income and expenses presented in the statement of profit or loss into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories, the Company shall assess whether it has specified main business activities of investing in particular types of assets and providing financing to customers.
- The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
- Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Company shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Company shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Company labels items as “other” only if it cannot find a more informative label.
- Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the Company as a whole, the Company shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.
In addition, the following consequential amendments have been made to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”:
-
The Company shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.
-
11 -
- Interest and dividends received by the Company shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. However, if, after assessment, the Company has a specific main operating activity, it shall determine how to classify dividends received, interest received and interest paid in the statement of cash flows by referring to how it classifies dividend income, interest income and interest expense in the statement of profit or loss. The total of each of these cash flows shall be classified in a single category in the statement of cash flows.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the parent company only financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Company's financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
a. Statement of compliance
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
b. Basis of preparation
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company accounted for subsidiaries using the equity method. In order for the amount of net income, other comprehensive income and equity in the parent company only financial statements to be the same as that attributable to shareholders of the parent in the consolidated financial statements, the differences of the accounting treatment between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis are adjusted under the account investments accounted for using the equity method, share of profit of subsidiaries and share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries in the parent company only financial statements.
c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the assets are restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
- 12 -
Current liabilities include:
1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
2) Liabilities due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period; and
3) Liabilities for which the Company does not have the substantial right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
d. Foreign currencies
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company’s functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they arise.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income; in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction, and not retranslated subsequently.
For the purpose of presenting parent company only financial statements, the functional currencies of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (including subsidiaries in other countries that use currencies different from the currency of the Company) are translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollar, as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting year; and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
e. Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, work-in-process, by-products, finished goods and products and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at the weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
f. Investments in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method. Subsidiaries are the entities controlled by the Company.
Under the equity method, the investment in subsidiaries is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiaries. The Company also recognizes the changes in the Company’s share of equity of subsidiaries.
- 13 -
The Company assesses its investment for any impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the estimated recoverable amount as assessed based on the investee’s financial statements as a whole. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases, the Company recognizes a reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized (net of amortization) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years.
Changes in the Company’s ownership in a subsidiary that do not lead to the Company losing control over the subsidiary are accounted for as equity transactions. The difference between the fair value of the retained investment plus any consideration received and the carrying amount of the investment before the changes is recognized in equity.
Unrealized profit or loss resulting from downstream transactions is eliminated in full in the parent company only financial statements. Profit and loss resulting from upstream transactions and transactions between subsidiaries are recognized in the parent company only financial statements only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries that are not related to the Company.
g. Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation.
Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are measured at cost less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Before that asset reaches its intended use are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and any proceeds from selling those assets and the cost of those assets are recognized in profit or loss. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.
Depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting year, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
h. Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rental and/or for capital appreciation
Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.
On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.
i. Intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss.
- 14 -
Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.
On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
j. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets and intangible assets
At the end of each reporting year, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset, intangible assets to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered any impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to individual cash-generating units or the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.
Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the assets may be impaired.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset, cash-generating unit or contract cost related to the assets is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years (less depreciation and amortization). A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
k. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
If financial assets and financial liabilities are other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
1) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
a) Measurement category
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.
- 15 -
i. Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily classified as at FVTPL; financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL are investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value, and any dividends or interest earned on such financial assets are recognized in other income; any remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in other gains or losses.
ii. Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
ii) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, financial assets at amortized cost and refundable deposit are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more of the following events have occurred:
i) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower;
ii) Breach of contract, such as a default;
iii) It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or undergo a financial reorganization; or
iv) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
iii. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading or contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination as at FVTOCI.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments, instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.
- 16 -
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Company's right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
b) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable).
The Company always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for accounts receivable. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on the financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
For internal credit risk management purposes, the Company determines that the following situations indicate that a financial asset is in default without taking into account any collateral held by the Company:
i. Internal or external information show that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.
ii. When a financial asset is more than 90 days past due unless the Company has reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.
The Company recognizes an impairment loss and reversal of impairment loss in profit or loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
c) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.
2) Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
- 17 -
The repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. No gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss on the purchase, sale, issuance or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments.
3) Financial liabilities
a) Subsequent measurement
The Company’s financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
b) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
- Liability provision
The amount recognized as a liability provision, including other long-term employee benefits, is measured at the best estimate of the expenditure of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. The liability provision is measured at the estimate of the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation.
m. Revenue recognition
The Company identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
1) Revenue from the sale of goods
Revenue from sale of goods comes from sales of lead alloy ingots. Sales of lead alloy ingots are recognized as revenue when the goods are shipped or delivered to the customer’s specific location, i.e., the time the performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company does not recognize revenue from transfer of materials to contractors for processing because the control and ownership of the materials are not transferred.
2) Revenue from the rendering of services
Revenue from the rendering of services comes from processing of products for customers. Consequently, the related revenue is recognized when services are rendered.
n. Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
1) The Company as lessor
Leases are classified as operating leases whenever the terms of a lease do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee.
Under operating leases, lease payments are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases.
- 18 -
2) The Company as lessee
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for by applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee’s incremental borrowing rate will be used.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term, a change in the amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee, a change in the assessment of an option to purchase an underlying asset, or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Company remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
o. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to an acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other than those stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
p. Employee benefits
1) Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.
2) Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including current service cost) and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income and reflected immediately in retained earnings in the period in which it occurs, and will not be subsequently reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liabilities represent the actual deficit in the Company’s defined benefit plan. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the
- 19 -
plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
3) Other long-term employee benefits
Other long-term employee benefits are accounted for in the same way as the accounting required for defined benefit plans except that remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss.
q. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
1) Current tax
Income tax payable (recoverable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according to the applicable tax.
According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.
Adjustments of prior years' tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year's tax provision.
2) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
- 20 -
3) Current and deferred taxes for the year
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
- MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Company's accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimations, and assumptions on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
When developing material accounting estimates, the Company considers the possible impact of its economic environment implications. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
Key sources of estimation uncertainty - write-down of inventories
The net realizable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The estimation of net realizable value is based on current market conditions and historical experience in the sale of product of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of the net realizable value.

The Company adopted a policy of only dealing with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade or higher, and use other publicly available financial information and mutual transaction records to evaluate major customers.
In order to minimize credit risk, the management has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting year to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Company's credit risk was significantly reduced.
The Company measures the loss allowance for accounts receivable at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on accounts receivable are estimated by reference to past default experience and current financial position of the customers. As the Company's historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the customer base is not further distinguished.
The following table details the loss allowance of accounts receivable based on past due date.

19. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
a. Defined contribution plans
The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees' individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.
b. Defined benefit plan
The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Act is operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Company contributes amounts equal to certain percentage of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee's name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the "Bureau"); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy. In addition, in June 2005, the Company reported to the National Taxation Bureau that the Company adopted a "Retirement Benefit and Retirement Scheme for Appointed Personnel" which stipulates the making of pension provisions at 4% of the monthly salary of the manager.

(Concluded)
Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Company is exposed to the following risks:
1) Investment risk
The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets shall not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
2) Interest risk
A decrease in the government bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.
3) Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purpose of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rate (%) | 1.250 | 1.375 |
| Expected rate of salary increase (%) | 2.000 | 2.000 |
If possible reasonable changes in each of the significant actuarial assumptions occur and all other assumptions remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rate | ||
| 0.25% increase | $(851) | $(969) |
| 0.25% decrease | $873 | $995 |
| Expected rate of salary increase | ||
| 0.25% increase | $853 | $972 |
| 0.25% decrease | $(835) | $(951) |
- 32 -
The above sensitivity analysis may not be representative of the actual changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the changes in assumptions will occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Expected contributions to the plan for the next year | $ 1,680 | $ 1,680 |
| Average duration of the defined benefit obligation | 5.5 years | 6.1 years |
20. EQUITY
a. Share capital
Ordinary shares
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Shares authorized (in thousands of shares) | 310,000 | 310,000 |
| Shares authorized (in thousands of dollars) | $ 3,100,000 | $ 3,100,000 |
| Shares issued and fully paid (in thousands of shares) | 120,000 | 167,319 |
| Shares issued and fully paid (in thousands of dollars) | $ 1,200,000 | $ 1,673,185 |
Fully paid ordinary shares, which have a par value of $10, carry one vote per share and carry a right to dividends.
In order to optimize the capital structure and enhance the return on shareholders' equity, the Company's shareholders' meeting held in June 2025 resolved to approve a cash capital reduction, cancelling $473,185 thousand ordinary share capital. The capital reduction proposal was subsequently approved by the competent authority, with the record date being September 15, 2025. The change of registration was completed on October 14, 2025. After the capital reduction, the Company's paid-in capital was $1,200,000 thousand.
b. Capital surplus
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Conversion of bonds | $ 975,330 | $ 975,330 |
Such capital surplus may be used to offset a deficit; in addition, when the Company has no deficit, such capital surplus may be distributed as cash dividends or transferred to share capital (limited to a certain percentage of the Company's capital surplus and to once a year).
c. Retained earnings and dividend policy
Under the dividend policy in the Company's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles"), where the Company made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit (except that when legal reserve has reached the Company's paid-in capital, the Company may continue or stop to set aside
amount for legal reserve), setting aside or reversing a special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Company's board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan. Distribution of dividends and bonuses by issuing new shares, in whole or in part, should be resolved in the shareholders' meeting for distribution of stock dividends and bonuses to shareholders. For the policies on the distribution of compensation of employees and remuneration of directors after the amendment, refer to compensation of employees and remuneration of directors in Note 22-h.
The board of directors of the Company is authorized to distribute dividends and bonuses in cash or legal reserve and capital surplus, in whole or in part, by majority vote of the directors present at a meeting of the board of directors attended by two-thirds of the total number of directors. A report of such distribution should be submitted to the shareholders' meeting.
The Company is in a stable growth stage in line with the overall environment and the characteristics of the industry's growth. In planning to distribute earnings, the Company shall consider the needs for sustainable operation and long-term development, and the needs of shareholders for cash inflows; if there will be distribution of earnings, the distribution shall not be less than 20% of the net profit after tax for the year, and the cash dividend shall not be less than 10% of the total cash and stock dividends distributed.
The legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company's paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.
When a special reserve is appropriated for cumulative net debit balance reserves from prior period, the sum of net profit for current period and items other than net profit included directly in the unappropriated earnings for current period is used if the prior unappropriated earnings are not sufficient. On the first-time adoption of IFRS Accounting Standards, the Company appropriated $42,065 thousand to the special reserve for the increase in retained earnings in the conversion to IFRS Accounting Standards.
The appropriations of earnings for 2024 and 2023, which were resolved in the shareholders' meetings on June, 2025 and 2024, respectively, were as follows:
| Appropriation of Earnings | Dividends Per Share (NT$) | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| For the Year Ended December 31 | For the Year Ended December 31 | |||

24. EARNINGS PER SHARE
The numerator and denominator of the earnings per share calculation were as follows:
a. Numerator - Net profit for the year
| For the Year Ended December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Net profit for the year | $ 652,954 | $ 1,052,318 |
b. Denominator - Number of ordinary shares (in thousands of shares)
| For the Year Ended December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Number of ordinary shares issued at the beginning of the year | 153,317 | 167,319 |
| Add: Effect of potentially dilutive ordinary shares | ||
| Compensation of employees | 180 | 278 |
| Number of shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share | 153,497 | 167,597 |
The Company may settle the compensation of employees in cash or shares; therefore, the Company assumes that the entire amount of the compensation will be settled in shares. If the shares are dilutive, the resulting potential shares are included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share. The number of potential shares of the compensation of employees is calculated by dividing the amount of the compensation by the closing price per share of the ordinary shares on the balance sheet date. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the shareholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.
25. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT
The Company manages its capital to ensure that it will be able to continue as a going concern while maximizing the return to shareholders through the optimization of the debt and equity balance.
The capital structure of the Company consists of net debt (borrowings offset by cash and cash equivalents) and equity attributable to owners of the Company (capital, capital surplus, retained earnings and other equity).
The Company is not subject to any externally imposed capital requirements.

Note 2: The balances include financial liabilities at amortized cost, which comprise short-term borrowings, notes and accounts payable, other payables and deposits received.
d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s major financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, refundable deposits, financial assets at amortized cost, short-term borrowings, notes and accounts payable (including those to related parties), other payables, lease liabilities and deposits received. The Company’s corporate treasury function provides services to the business, coordinates access to financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through analyzing exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
1) Market risk
The Company’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below) and interest rates (see (b) below).
a) Foreign currency risk
The Company has foreign currency denominated sales and purchases, which exposed the Company to foreign currency risk.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 30.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company is mainly exposed to the USD.
The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 1% increase and decrease in New Taiwan dollars (the functional currency) against the relevant foreign currencies. The sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and representing management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates is 1%. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 1% change in foreign currency rates. The positive amounts below indicate a increase in pre-tax profit associated with the functional currency weakening 1% against the USD. For a 1% strengthening of the functional currency against the USD, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and the balances below would be negative.
| USD Impact | ||
|---|---|---|
| For the Year Ended December 31 | ||
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Profit or loss | $ 12,971 | $ 21,146 |
b) Interest rate risk
The Company is exposed to interest rate risk because the Company borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The risk is managed by the Company by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating rate borrowings.
- 44 -
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets with exposure to interest rates at the end of the year were as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Cash flow interest rate risk | ||
| Financial assets | $ 248,662 | $ 281,860 |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Company’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the year. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of each liability outstanding at the end of the year was outstanding for the whole year. A 1% increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 1% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $2,487 thousand and $2,819 thousand, respectively, which was mainly a result of variable rate bank deposits and borrowing.
c) Other price risk
The Company was exposed to equity price risk through its investments in fund beneficiary certificate and listed equity securities. Equity investments are held for strategic rather than for trading purposes; thus, the Company does not actively trade these investments. The Company’s equity price risk is mainly concentrated in equity instruments traded in the Taiwan Stock Exchange and Open Fund Beneficiary Certificate trading in Taiwan.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the year.
If equity prices had been 1% higher/lower, pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $9,462 thousand and $10,703 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL.
If equity prices had been 1% higher/lower, the other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by $1,333 thousand and $1,312 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company. At the end of the year, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk, which would cause a financial loss to the Company due to the failure of the counterparty to discharge its obligation, could be equal to the following:
a) The carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the parent company only balance sheets.
b) The maximum amount that the Company may have to pay for financial guarantees provided, regardless of the possibility of occurrence.
The policy adopted by the Company is to only conduct transactions with reputable entities and use other publicly available financial information and mutual transaction records to evaluate major customers. The Company continues to supervise the credit risk insurance and the credit evaluation of the counterparty.
The Company’s credit risk is mainly concentrated in the following amounts of accounts receivable :
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Company A | $ 535,845 | $ 568,646 |
| Percentage of total accounts receivable (%) | 67 | 72 |
3) Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Company’s operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.
The Company relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company had available unutilized short-term bank loan facilities of $3,312,503 thousand and $3,327,897 thousand, respectively.
The following table details the Company’s remaining contractual maturities for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed upon repayment periods. The tables had been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables include both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed upon repayment dates.
To the extent that interest flows are at floating rates, the undiscounted amount was derived from the interest rate curve at the end of the year.
