Independent Auditor's Report
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
UPC Technology Corporation,
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) of the Republic of China.
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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China. 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 that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
- 4 -
Key audit matters for the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 is described as follows:
Recognition of Operating Revenue
The main revenue of the Group comes from the sales of plasticizers. Considering that the recognition of revenue had a significant impact on the financial statements, the authenticity of sales revenue from customers with substantial growth and amount was identified as a key audit matter for the current year. In response to the aforementioned key audit matter, we performed audit procedures as follows: We assessed the related internal controls, checked the transaction records and supporting documents to ensure the occurrence of the transactions and confirmed that the recognition of revenue was in compliance with IFRS. For the accounting policies on revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4 (13) of the consolidated financial statements.
Other Matters
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of UPC Technology Corp. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern, and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on
- 5 -
Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error. Fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
-
6 -
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with statements that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, 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.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are ChienLiang Liu and Wen-Chin Lin.

Note: Unless otherwise noted, the above new/revised/amended standards and interpretations take effective in their respective annual reporting periods beginning on or after their respective dates.
IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements”
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes in this standard include:
-
The statement of profit or loss should classify income and expenses in the operating, investing, financing, income taxes, and discontinued operations categories.
-
An entity must present totals and subtotals in the statement of profit or loss for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
-
Requirements for provision of guidance to enhance aggregation and disaggregation: The Group should identify assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses, losses, and cash flows in each transaction or other events, and classify and aggregate them based on shared characteristics so that the main line items presented in the financial statements share at least one similar characteristic. Items should be disaggregated based on characteristics that are not shared. The Group should label such items as “other” only if it cannot find a more informative title.
-
Increasing the disclosure of management-defined performance measures (MPMs): When the Group engages in public communications outside financial statements and communicates to management’s view of a specific aspect of the financial performance of the entity as a whole, the Group should disclose information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including a description of how the MPM is measured, how the MPM is calculated, and a reconciliation between the MPM and the total or subtotal required by IFRS Accounting Standards, including the income tax effect and the effect on non-controlling interests for each item disclosed in the reconciliation.
In addition to the above impacts, by the time the release date of the consolidated financial statements was approved, the Group has continued to evaluate other impacts of the amendments to various standards and interpretations on its financial position and financial performance, and the relevant impacts will be disclosed when the evaluation is completed.
- 17 -
IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
- (I) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.
(II) Basis for preparation Except for financial instruments measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities recognized as the present value of defined benefit obligations less the fair value of plan assets, the consolidated financial statements were prepared on a historical cost basis.
The fair value measurement is classified into three levels based on the observability and significance of relevant inputs:
-
Level 1 inputs: Quoted (unadjusted) prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities on the measurement date.
-
Level 2 inputs: Inputs, other than quoted market prices within level 1 that are observable, either directly (i.e., prices) or indirectly (derived from prices) for assets or liabilities.
-
Level 3 inputs: Unobservable inputs for assets or liabilities.
-
(III) Criteria for classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
- Current assets include:
-
Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and
-
Cash or cash equivalents (excluding assets restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date).
Current liabilities include:
-
Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and
-
Liabilities for which there is no substantive right on the balance sheet date to defer the repayment deadline to at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-
current.
- 18 -
(IV) Basis for consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the financial statements of the Company and entities controlled by the Company (subsidiaries). The consolidated statement of comprehensive income includes the operating profit or loss of acquired or disposed subsidiaries from the acquisition date to the disposal date during the current period. The subsidiaries’ financial statements have been properly adjusted to make their accounting policies consistent with those of the Group. In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, all intra-group transactions, account balances, revenues, and expenses are eliminated in full. The total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the Company's owners and non-controlling interests, even if the non-controlling interests result in a deficit balance.
When changes in the Group's ownership interest in a subsidiary do not result in a loss of control, they are treated as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the Group and non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiary. The difference between the adjustment amount of non-controlling interests and the fair value of consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the Company's owners.
For details of subsidiaries, shareholding ratios, and business activities, please refer to Note 12, Table 7, and Table 8.
(V)
Foreign currencies
When the financial statements of each individual entity are prepared, transactions in currencies other than the entity’s functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) are recognized at the exchange rates prevailing on the transaction dates.
Foreign currency monetary items are translated at the closing rate at each balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from the settlement or translation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they occur.
Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the dates when the fair values were determined. Exchange differences arising from such translation are recognized in profit or loss, except for exchange differences arising from fair value changes that are recognized in other comprehensive income, which are recognized in other comprehensive income.
- 19 -
Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the transaction dates and are not subsequently retranslated.
When preparing consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations (including subsidiaries and associates whose operating countries or currencies differ from the Company's) are translated into NTD at the exchange rates prevailing at each balance sheet date. Revenue and expense items are translated at the average exchange rate for the period. Exchange differences arising from such translation are recognized in other comprehensive income and attributed to the Company's owners and non-controlling interests separately.
(VI)
Inventories
Inventories primarily include merchandise, raw materials, supplies, finished goods, semi-finished goods, work-in-progress, and construction land. Inventories are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. When comparing cost and net realizable value, individual items are used as the basis, except for inventories of the same category. Net realizable value 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 cost of inventories is calculated using the weightedaverage method.
(VII) Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence but is neither a subsidiary nor a joint venture.
The Group accounts for investments in associates using the equity method. Under the equity method, investments in associates are initially recognized at cost, and the carrying amount after the acquisition date is subsequently increased or decreased according to the Group's share of the profit or loss and other
comprehensive income of the associate, as well as by profit distributions. In addition, changes in the equity of the associate are recognized in proportion to the Group's ownership percentage.
When an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe for them in proportion to its ownership, resulting in a change in the Group's ownership percentage and a corresponding increase or decrease in the equity value of the investment, the increase or decrease is adjusted to capital surplus – changes in equity value in associates and joint ventures and investments using the equity method.
- 20 -
However, if the Group's ownership interest in the associate decreases due to not subscribing for or acquiring new shares in proportion to its ownership, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income related to the associate are reclassified in proportion to the decrease, based on the same basis as if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If the aforementioned adjustment requires a debit to capital surplus, and the balance of capital surplus arising from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the difference is debited to retained earnings.
When the Group's share of losses on an associate equal or exceeds its interest in the associate (including the carrying amount of the investment in the associate under the equity method and other long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Company's net investment in the associate), the Group ceases recognizing further losses. The Group recognizes additional losses and liabilities only to the extent of legal obligations, constructive obligations, or payments made on behalf of the associate.
When assessing impairment, the Group treats the entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) as a single asset and compares its recoverable amount to its carrying amount for impairment testing. The impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment, including goodwill. Any reversal of impairment loss is recognized to the extent of a subsequent increase in the recoverable amount of the investment.
The Group discontinues the equity method from the date its investment ceases to be an associate, and measures any retained interest in the former associate at fair value. The difference between the fair value plus the disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the investment at the date the equity method is discontinued is recognized in profit or loss for the period. In addition, all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income related to the associate are accounted for on the same basis as if the associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. If an investment in an associate becomes an investment in a joint venture, or vice versa, the Group continues to apply the equity method and does not remeasure the retained interest.
Profits or losses resulting from upstream, downstream, and lateral transactions between the Group and its associates are recognized in the consolidated financial
- 21 -
statements only to the extent that they are unrelated to the Group's interest in the associates.
(VIII) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recognized at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Property, plant and equipment under construction are recognized at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Cost includes professional service fees and borrowing costs that meet the capitalization criteria. These assets are classified into the appropriate category of property, plant and equipment and begin to be depreciated when they are completed and ready for intended use.
Land held for own use is not depreciated.
Property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis. Each significant component is depreciated separately. The Group reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values, and depreciation methods at least at the end of each annual reporting period, and the effects of changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively.
Upon derecognition of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
(IX) Computer software
Computer software is measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses. The Group amortizes computer software using the straight-line method and reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods at least at the end of each annual reporting period. The residual value of computer software with finite useful lives is estimated to be zero, unless the Group expects to dispose of the software before the end of its economic life. The effects of changes in accounting estimates are treated prospectively.
Computer software is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. The gain or loss arising from the derecognition of computer software is the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset, and is recognized in profit or loss. (X) Imapirment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets
- 22 -
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is any indication that property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets may be impaired. If any indication of impairment exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the smallest group of cashgenerating units on a reasonable and consistent basis.
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 of impairment.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to its revised recoverable amount, but the increased carrying amount shall not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years (less amortization or depreciation). The reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
(XI) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the consolidated balance sheet when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.
Upon initial recognition of financial assets and financial liabilities, if the financial asset or financial liability is not measured at FVTPL, it is measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities measured at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- Financial assets
The Group recognizes and derecognizes regular purchases and sales of financial assets on the trade date.
- 23 -
(1) Measurement categories
The Group's financial assets are classified as financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets measured at amortized cost, and equity instrument investments at FVTOCI.
- A. Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets at FVTPL include financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily measured at FVTPL include equity instrument investments that the Group does not designate as measured at FVTOCI, and debt instrument investments that do not meet the criteria for classification as measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.
Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value. Dividends and interest are recognized in other income and interest income, respectively. Gains or losses from remeasurement (including any dividends or interest arising from the financial asset) are recognized in other gains and losses. Refer to Note 31, “Financial instruments”, for the determination of fair value.
- B. Financial assets measured at amortized cost
The Group classifies financial assets as measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met:
-
a. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
b. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments for principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, trade receivable, other receivables, time deposits with original maturities of more than three months, and guarantee deposits paid) are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, less any impairment losses. Any foreign exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss.
- 24 -
Interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the gross carrying amount of the financial asset, except in the following two cases:
-
a. For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by multiplying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate by the amortized cost of the financial asset.
-
b. For financial assets that are not purchased or originated creditimpaired but subsequently become credit-impaired, interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the amortized cost of the financial asset from the next reporting period after the credit impairment.
Credit-impaired financial assets refer to financial assets, of which issuers or debtors have experienced significant financial difficulties, defaulted, or are likely to file for bankruptcy or other financial reorganization, or where the active market for the financial assets has disappeared due to financial difficulties.
Cash equivalents include highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to fixed amounts of cash within three months of acquisition, are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value, and are used to meet short-term cash commitments.
Demand deposits that are restricted from use by contracts with third parties are also considered cash unless the restrictions change the nature of the deposits so that they no longer qualify as cash. If the restrictions on the use of demand deposits exceed 12 months after the balance sheet date, the related amounts are classified as non-current assets.
- C. Equity instrument investments measured at FVTOCI
At initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to designate equity instrument investments that are neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognized in a business combination as measured at FVTOCI.
Equity instrument investments measured at FVTOCI are measured at fair value, with subsequent changes in fair value reported in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. Upon
- 25 -
disposal of the investment, accumulated gains or losses are transferred directly to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss.
Dividends from equity instrument investments measured at FVTOCI are recognized in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive payment is established, unless the dividend clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
(2)
Impairment of financial assets
The Group assesses the impairment losses of financial assets measured at amortized cost (including trade receivable) at each balance sheet date based on expected credit losses.
Trade receivables are recognized with a loss allowance based on lifetime expected credit losses. Other financial assets are first assessed for significant increases in credit risk since initial recognition. If there has been no significant increase, a loss allowance is recognized based on 12-month expected credit losses. If there has been a significant increase, a loss allowance is recognized based on lifetime expected credit losses.
Expected credit losses are the weighted average of credit losses, with the risk of default occurring as the weights 12-month expected credit losses represent the expected credit losses that result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date, and lifetime expected credit losses represent the expected credit losses that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
For internal credit risk management purposes, the Group determines that the following conditions represent a default of a financial asset, without considering collateral held:
-
A. There is internal or external information indicating that the debtor is unlikely to pay its obligations.
-
B. There are past due events, unless there is reasonable and supportable information indicating that a delayed default criterion is more appropriate.
Impairment losses for all financial assets are recognized by reducing their carrying amounts through allowance accounts, except for impairment losses on debt instrument investments measured at FVTOCI,
- 26 -
which are recognized in other comprehensive income without reducing their carrying amounts.
(3) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to another entity.
Upon derecognition of a financial asset measured at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received is recognized in profit or loss. Upon derecognition of a debt instrument investment measured at FVTOCI in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received plus any cumulative gains or losses recognized in other comprehensive income is recognized in profit or loss. Upon derecognition of an equity instrument investment measured at FVTOCI in its entirety, accumulated gains or losses are transferred directly to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss.
2.
- Equity Instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of financial liabilities and equity instruments.
Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issuance costs.
Repurchased equity instruments of the Company itself are recognized and deducted within equity. Purchases, sales, issuances, or cancellations of the Company's own equity instruments are not recognized in profit or loss. 3. Financial liabilities
- (1) Subsequent measurement
All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, except for the following:
Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL
Financial liabilities measured at FVTPL are financial liabilities held for trading.
- 27 -
Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at fair value, and gains or losses from remeasurement (including any dividends or interest paid on the financial liability) are recognized in profit or loss.
- (2) Derecognition of financial liabilities
Upon derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between its carrying amount and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
(XII) Provisions
The amount recognized as a provision is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties of the obligation. Provisions are measured at the present value of the estimated cash flows required to settle the obligation.
(XIII)
Revenue recognition
The Group recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation in a contract with a customer, after allocating the transaction price to each performance obligation.
- Revenue from sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is derived from the sale of petrochemical products. Since the customer has the right to determine the price and use of the goods and bears the primary responsibility for resale and the risk of obsolescence when the petrochemical products arrive at the customer's
designated location, the Group recognizes revenue and trade receivables at that point in time.
- Revenue from services
Revenue from services is derived from warehousing and logistics services. Revenue is recognized as the services are provided, in accordance with the contract.
(XIV) Leases
The Group assesses at the inception of a contract whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
- The Group as lessor
A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an asset to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Under operating leases, lease payments, and net of lease incentives, are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the relevant lease term. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining an operating lease are added to the carrying amount of the underlying asset and recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Lease negotiations with lessees are accounted for as a new lease from the effective date of the lease modification.
Contingent rents that are not based on an index or rate are recognized as revenue in the period in which they are incurred.
2.
The Group as lessee
Except for lease payments for low-value asset leases and short-term leases, which are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term, right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized on the lease commencement date for all other leases.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which includes the initial measurement amount of the lease liability, lease payments paid before the commencement date less any lease incentives received, initial direct costs, and estimated costs of restoring the underlying asset. They are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, adjusted for remeasurements of the lease liability. Right-of-use assets are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life or the end of the lease term.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of lease payments, which include fixed payments, substantively fixed payments, and variable lease payments that depend on an index or rate. Lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease if that rate is readily determinable. If that rate is not readily determinable, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate is used.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, and interest expense is recognized over the lease term. If there is a change in future lease payments due to a change in the lease term or an index or rate used to determine lease payments, the Group remeasures the lease liability and adjusts the right-of-use asset accordingly.
- 29 -
However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero, any remaining remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss. For lease modifications that are not treated as separate leases, remeasurements of lease liabilities due to a reduction in the lease scope reduce the right-of-use asset, and gains or losses on partial or full lease termination are recognized. Remeasurements of lease liabilities due to other modifications adjust the rightof-use asset. Lease liabilities are presented separately in the consolidated balance sheet.
- (XV) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of a qualifying asset are capitalized as part of the cost of that asset until substantially all the activities necessary to prepare the asset for its intended use or sale are complete.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings prior to their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
All other borrowing costs are recognized as an expense in the period in which they are incurred.
(XVI) Government grants
Government grants are recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.
Government grants related to income are recognized on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognizes the related costs as expenses that the grants are intended to compensate, either as a reduction of the related costs or as other income. Government grants related to assets, which are conditional upon the Group purchasing, constructing, or otherwise acquiring non-current assets, are recognized as deferred income and reclassified to profit or loss on a reasonable and systematic basis over the useful lives of the related assets.
Government grants that are intended to compensate for expenses or losses already incurred or to provide immediate financial support to the Group with no related future costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable.

(XVII) Employee benefits
- Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities for short-term employee benefits are measured at the
-
undiscounted amounts expected to be paid in exchange for employee services.
-
- Post-employment benefits
Pension costs for defined contribution pension plans are recognized as an expense as employees provide services.
Defined benefit costs for defined benefit pension plans, including service costs, net interest, and remeasurements, are actuarially determined using the projected unit credit method. Service costs, including current service costs, and net interest on the net defined benefit liability are recognized as employee benefit expenses when they occur. Remeasurements, including actuarial gains and losses and returns on plan assets excluding interest, are recognized in other comprehensive income and included in retained earnings when they occur, and are not reclassified to profit or loss in subsequent periods.
The net defined benefit liability represents the shortfall in contributions to defined benefit pension plans.
- Other long-term employee benefits
The accounting treatment for other long-term employee benefits is the same as that for defined benefit pension plans, except that the related remeasurements are recognized in profit or loss.
- 31 -
(XVIII) Share-based payment agreements
Equity-settled share-based payment arrangements are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over the vesting period, based on the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date and the best estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest, with a corresponding adjustment to capital surplus - employee stock options. If the equity instruments vest immediately on the grant date, the expense is recognized in full on the grant date. For transfers of shares to employees, the grant date is the date the employees are notified.
(XIX) Income taxes
Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax and deferred income tax.
- Current income tax
The Group determines its current income (loss) based on the regulations established by each tax jurisdiction where it files income tax returns and calculates the income tax payable (recoverable) accordingly.
The additional income tax on undistributed earnings calculated in accordance with the Income Tax Act of the Republic of China is recognized in the year of the shareholders' meeting resolution.
Adjustments to prior year income tax payable are included in current income tax.
- Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is calculated based on temporary differences arising from differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and their tax bases used for calculating taxable income.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences, and deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences and tax loss carryforwards can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets are recognized for deductible temporary differences associated with such investments only to the extent that it is probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available against which the
- 32 -
temporary differences can be utilized and are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profit will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. Unrecognized deferred tax assets are also reviewed at each balance sheet date and increased to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply to the period when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
3.
Current and deferred income tax
Current and deferred income tax are recognized in profit or loss, except for those related to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case the current and deferred income tax are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
V. Major Sources of Critical Accounting Judgments, Estimates, and Assumptions Uncertainty
In adopting accounting policies, the Group's management makes judgments, estimates, and assumptions based on historical experience and other relevant factors when information is not readily available from other sources Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Group's management continues to review its estimates and underlying assumptions, including the potential impact of significant accounting estimates on cash flow projections, growth rates, discount rates, and profitability.
As for the accounting policies, estimates, and underlying assumptions adopted, based on management's assessment, there are no significant accounting judgments, estimates, or assumptions with significant uncertainty.

For information on discounted notes receivable transactions, refer to Notes 17 and 31(5).
The average credit period for the Group's sales of goods is 30 days.
Before accepting new customers, the Group evaluates the credit quality of potential customers and sets credit limits through internal credit and sales management departments. Customers' credit limits and ratings are reviewed semi-annually.
- 35 -
To mitigate credit risk, the Group's management assigns a dedicated team to determine credit limits, approve credit, and implement other monitoring procedures to ensure that appropriate actions are taken to recover overdue receivables. Additionally, the Group individually reviews the recoverable amounts of receivables at the balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment losses are recognized for unrecoverable receivables. Accordingly, management believes that the Group's credit risk has been significantly reduced.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, no customer's receivables exceeded 5% of total receivables.
The Group recognizes the loss allowance for receivables based on lifetime expected credit losses. Lifetime expected credit losses are determined based on the customer's past default records, current financial position, and industry economic conditions, with expected credit loss ratios set for different customer credit ratings of receivables.
If there is evidence that a counterparty is facing significant financial difficulties and the Group cannot reasonably expect to recover the amount, e.g., when the counterparty is undergoing liquidation or the debt is overdue for more than one year, the Group recognizes a 100% allowance for doubtful accounts for receivables overdue for more than one year. However, collection activities continue, and any amounts recovered from collection are recognized in profit or loss.
The Group measures the loss allowance for receivables using a provision matrix as follows:

(I) The safety provision is accrued by the Group's subsidiaries in China in accordance with the regulations of the Ministry of Emergency Management of the People's Republic of China and related regulations. Enterprises that produce, store, or transport hazardous chemicals identified by the government determine the accrued amount for the current year based on the previous year's operating revenue, using a graduated declining rate method. This amount is then evenly accrued monthly and reversed when actual safety expenditures are incurred.

(II) The employee benefits provision is the estimated provision for employee pension calculated according to the Group's employee pension regulations. The present value of this long-term employee benefit obligation is calculated by a qualified actuary. XXII. Post-employment benefit plans (I) Defined contribution plans The Group in Taiwan adopts the pension system of the “Labor Pension Act”, which is a government-managed defined contribution pension plan. The Group monthly contributes an amount, equal to 6% of employees' monthly salaries, to individual accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance.
The employees of the Group's subsidiaries in China and Malaysia are members of government-operated retirement benefit plans in those regions. The subsidiaries are required to contribute a specific percentage of salary costs to the retirement benefit plans to fund the plans. The Group's obligation to these government-operated retirement benefit plans is limited to contributing the specific amounts. The pension expenses recognized by the Group under the defined contribution plans for 2024 and 2023 were NT$118,011 thousand and NT$113,233 thousand, respectively. (II) Defined benefit plans The Group in Taiwan adopts the pension system of the “Labor Standards Act”, which is a defined benefit pension plan. Employee pension benefits are calculated based on years of service and the average salary of the six months prior to approved retirement. Every month, the Group contributes an amount, equal to 2% of employees' total monthly salaries, to an employee retirement fund, which is deposited in a special account at the Bank of Taiwan in the name of the Supervisory Committee of Labor Retirement Reserve. Before the end of the year, if the estimated balance of the special account is insufficient to pay the estimated pension benefits for employees who are expected to meet the retirement conditions in the following year, the difference will be contributed in one lump sum before the end of March of the following year. The special account is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor, and the Group has no right to influence the investment management strategy.

The Group is exposed to the following risks from the pension system of the “Labor Standards Act”:
-
Investment risk: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor, invests the labor pension fund in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities and bank
-
48 -
deposits through self-management and entrusted management. However, the amount of income of plan assets that the Group allocate is calculated based on the yield not lower than the local bank's two-year deposit interest rate.
-
Interest rate risk: A decrease in the interest rate of government bonds or corporate bonds will increase the present value of defined benefit obligations, but the return on debt investments in plan assets will also increase. Such bonds have a partial offsetting effect on net defined benefit liabilities.
-
Salary risk: The present value of defined benefit obligations is calculated with reference to the future salaries of plan members. Therefore, an increase in plan members' salaries will increase the present value of defined benefit obligations.
The present value of the Group's defined benefit obligations is calculated by a qualified actuary. The significant assumptions at the measurement date are as follows:
| Discount rate Expected rate of salary increase |
December 31,2024 1.375% 3.000% |
December 31,2023 |
|---|---|---|
| 1.250% 3.000% |
If significant actuarial assumptions change reasonably and plausibly, the amounts by which the present value of defined benefit obligations would increase (decrease) under the condition that all other assumptions remain unchanged are as follows:
| follows: | |||
|---|---|---|---|
| Discount rate Increase by 0.25% Decrease by 0.25% Expected rate of salary increase Increase by 0.25% Decrease by 0.25% |
December 31,2024 ($ 6,150) $ 6,300 $ 6,099 ($ 5,984) |
December 31,2023 | |
| ( ( |
( ( |
$ 7,193) $ 7,369 $ 7,128 $ 6,995) |
Because actuarial assumptions may be correlated, it is unlikely that only a single assumption will change. Therefore, the above sensitivity analysis may not reflect the actual changes in the present value of defined benefit obligations.
| Expected contributions within one year Average duration of defined benefit obligations |
December 31,2024 $ 2,404 5.9 years |

(III) Retained earnings and dividend policy
- 50 -
According to the Company's Articles of Incorporation regarding the errnings distribution policy, after paying taxes and offsetting prior years' accumulated losses from the current year's earnings, 10% should first be set aside as legal reserve and appropriated or reversed as special reserve according to relevant regulations. The Company may then appropriate or reverse a certain amount as special reserve according to the relevant regulations. The residual earnings, plus the accumulated undistributed earnings, may be distributed to shareholders according to the distribution plan proposed by the Board of Directors. When the distribution is made in the form of new shares, the distribution proposal shall be submitted to the shareholders' meeting for resolution before distribution. When the distribution is made in cash, the Board of Directors shall be authorized to resolve the distribution by a super majority vote and report it to the shareholders' meeting.
The Company's Articles of Incorporation regarding the distribution of employee and director compensation are described in Note 25(7), Employee and director compensation.
The legal reserve shall be appropriated until its balance reaches the total paid-in capital. The legal reserve may be used to offset a deficit. When there are no deficits, the portion of the legal reserve exceeding 25% of the total paid-in capital may be capitalized or distributed as cash dividends. The Board of Directors is also authorized to make a supermajority resolution to distribute all or part of the aforementioned legal reserve and capital surplus in cash and report to the shareholders' meeting.
The Company's earnings distribution plans for 2023 and 2022 are as follows:
| Legal reserve Cash dividends Cash dividend per share (NT$) |
2023 $ - $ 265,511 $ 0.2 |
2022 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| $ - $ 263,583 $ 0.2 |
The above cash dividends were resolved by the Board of Directors on March 6, 2024 and March 6, 2023, respectively.
The Company's Board of Directors resolved on March 7, 2025, to distribute cash dividends of NT$199,412 thousand from capital surplus, at NT$0.15 per share, after the shareholders' meeting approves the proposal to offset a deficit with the legal reserve for 2024 on May 28, 2025.

XXX. Capital risk management
The Group manages capital to ensure that each entity within the Group can continue as a going concern by optimizing the balance of debt and total assets to maximize shareholder returns. There is no expected significant change in the short term based on the Group's overall strategy.
The Group's capital structure consists of net debt (total liabilities less cash and cash equivalents and financial assets measured at amortized cost) / net assets (total assets less cash and cash equivalents and financial assets measured at amortized cost).
The Group's senior management reviews the Group's capital structure quarterly, taking into account the cost of each type of capital and related risks. Based on senior management’s suggestions, the Group will balance its overall capital structure through dividend policies and the issuance of new debt or repayment of old debt.
The Group's target net debt ratio (net debt to net assets) is 50%.

(IV) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group's primary financial instruments are equity investments, receivables, payables, and borrowings. the Group's financial management department provides services to various business units, coordinating domestic and international financial market operations. It monitors and manages financial risks related to corporate operations through internal risk reports that analyze exposures based on risk levels and scope. These risks include market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk, and other price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk.
1. Market risk
The Group's operating activities expose it to foreign exchange rate change risk and interest rate change risk.
There have been no changes in the Group's market risk exposures related to financial instruments or in the methods used to manage and measure these exposures.
(1) Foreign exchange risk
The Company and several subsidiaries engage in foreign currencydenominated sales and purchase transactions, resulting in exposure to foreign exchange change risk. Approximately 15% of the Group's sales and 30% of its costs are denominated in currencies other than the functional currencies of the entities of the Group in which the transactions take place.
- 65 -
The carrying amounts of significant foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and liabilities as of the balance sheet date (including foreign currency-denominated monetary items eliminated in the consolidated financial statements) are disclosed in Note 36.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group is primarily affected by fluctuations in the US dollar (USD) exchange rate.
The following table shows the sensitivity analysis of the Group when the exchange rates of the NTD, CNY, and MYR increase or decrease by 3% against the USD. The 3% sensitivity rate is used for reporting foreign exchange risk to senior management and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible range of foreign exchange rate changes. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency monetary items with their period-end translation by a 3% change in exchange rates adjusted. Positive numbers in the table below indicate the decrease in pre-tax net loss when the NTD, CNY, and MYR appreciate by 3% against the USD; the impact on pre-tax net loss when these currencies depreciate by 3% against the USD would be equal in amount but negative.
| in amount but negative. | ||
|---|---|---|
| Profit or loss | Impact of USD | |
| 2024 $ 68,688 |
2023 | |
| $ 51,098 |
The above impacts primarily arise from USD-denominated receivables, payables, and borrowings outstanding at the balance sheet date.
The Group's sensitivity to exchange rates has increased in the current period, mainly due to an increase in period-end USD payables, resulting in a higher net foreign currency liability.
(2) Interest rate risk
The Group's interest rate exposure arises from borrowing funds at both fixed and floating rates. The Group periodically evaluates whether to use hedging instruments to align its interest rate views with established risk appetite, ensuring the most cost-effective hedging strategy.
- 66 -
The carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities exposed to interest rate risk at the balance sheet date are as follows:
December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023 Fair value interest rate risk - Financial assets $ 178,977 $ 373,306 - Financial liabilities 17,070,443 16,305,287 Cash flow interest rate risk - Financial liabilities 5,517,887 4,983,315
The Group is exposed to fair value interest rate risk due to its fixedrate bank borrowings and bonds payable. The Group holds floating-rate borrowings as the target to mitigate fair value interest rate risk.
The Group is exposed to cash flow interest rate risk due to its floating-rate bank borrowings. These situations align with the Group's policy of maintaining a certain level of floating-rate borrowings to mitigate fair value interest rate risk.
Sensitivity analysis
The following sensitivity analysis is determined based on the interest rate exposures of non-derivative instruments at the balance sheet date. For floating-rate liabilities, the analysis assumes that the outstanding liabilities at the balance sheet date were outstanding throughout the reporting period. The change rate used for reporting interest rates to senior management is an increase or decrease of 50 basis points, representing management's assessment of the reasonably possible range of interest rate changes.
If interest rates increase/decrease by 50 basis points, the Group's pre-tax net loss for 2024 and 2023 would increase/decrease by NT$27,589 thousand and NT$24,917 thousand, respectively, assuming all other variables remain constant.
The Group's sensitivity to interest rates has increased compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in the amount of floating-rate borrowings in the current period.
- (3) Other price risks
The Group is exposed to equity price risk due to its holdings of fund beneficiary certificates and equity securities investments. These equity
- 67 -
investments are primarily strategic investments and are not held for trading; the Group does not actively trade these investments. The Group's equity price risk is concentrated in domestic strategic equity instrument investments.
Sensitivity analysis
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the equity price exposures at the balance sheet date.
If equity prices increase/decrease by 5%, the after-tax profit or loss for 2023 would increase/decrease by NT$343 thousand due to changes in the fair value of financial assets at FVTPL. The after-tax other comprehensive income for 2024 and 2023 would increase/decrease by NT$867,745 thousand and NT$825,917 thousand, respectively, due to changes in the fair value of financial assets measured at FVTOCI.
The Group's sensitivity to price risk has increased compared to the same period last year, primarily due to an increase in the market value of equity securities investments in the current year.
- Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial loss to the Group if a counterparty fails to meet its contractual obligations. As of the balance sheet date, the maximum credit risk exposure from the counterparty’s default, which could result in financial loss, primarily arises from the carrying amounts of financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.
The Group's policy is to transact only with reputable counterparties. Before accepting new customers, the Group assesses the credit quality of potential customers and sets credit limits through internal credit checks and relevant sales management departments. Customer credit limits and ratings are reviewed twice a year.
Additionally, the Group individually reviews the recoverable amounts of receivables at the balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment losses are recognized for unrecoverable receivables.
The Group's trade receivables are from a large number of customers, and the Group has no significant credit exposure to any single counterparty or group of counterparties with similar characteristics. At no time during 2024 and
- 68 -
2023 did the concentration of credit risk from any counterparty exceed 5% of total monetary assets.
The Group's credit risk by geographic region is primarily concentrated in China, accounting for approximately 58% and 65% of total receivables as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, respectively.
3.
Liquidity risk
The Group manages and maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to support operations and mitigate the impact of cash flow fluctuations. The Group's management monitors the use of bank financing limits and ensures compliance with loan agreement terms.
Bank borrowings are a significant source of liquidity for the Group. The Group's unused financing limits as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, are disclosed in the (2) Financing limits section below.
(1) Liquidity and interest rate risk table for non-derivative financial liabilities The remaining contractual maturity analysis for non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities, based on the earliest date the Group could be required to repay. Therefore, bank borrowings that the Group could be required to repay immediately are included in the earliest period in the table, regardless of the probability of the bank immediately exercising this right. The maturity analysis of other non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared based on the agreed repayment dates.

- (V) Information on the transfer of financial assets
In 2024 and 2023, the Group discounted some bankers’ acceptance notes receivable issued by banks in China. The contracts stipulate that if the bankers’ acceptance notes receivable cannot be collected at maturity, the transferee has the right to request the Group to settle the outstanding balance. Therefore, the Group did not transfer the significant risks and rewards of these bankers’ acceptance notes receivable and continues to recognize them.
As of December 31, 2024 and 2023, the carrying amounts of the transferred bankers’ acceptance notes receivable that were not derecognized were NT$1,289,141 thousand and NT$1,068,720 thousand, respectively (including NT$572,363 thousand and NT$694,252 thousand of inter-subsidiary acceptance notes eliminated in the consolidation), and the carrying amounts of the related liabilities were NT$1,289,141 thousand and NT$1,068,720 thousand, respectively.
