Independent Auditor’s Report
To Weltrend Semiconductor, Inc. and Its Subsidiaries,
Audit opinion
We have reviewed the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Weltrend Semiconductor, Inc. (the “Company”) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the relevant parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and relevant notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies (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 standalone financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 and for the years then ended, and its standalone financial performance and standalone cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis of audit opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the “Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements” paragraph 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 are convinced that we have acquired enough and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis of audit opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters refer to the most vital matters in our audit of the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 based on our professional judgment. These matters were addressed in our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our audit opinion. We do not express a separate opinion on these matters.
- 3 -
Key audit matters of the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, are stated as follows
Sales revenue recognition
The Company’s standalone operating revenue for 2025 amounted to NT$2,915,897 thousand. Please Notes 4 and 25 to the parent company only financial statements for accounting policies and information on revenue recognition. The Company’s operating revenue mainly includes research, development, production, and sales of integrated circuits and sales of foreign brands’ integrated circuits as an agent. Due to the large number of sales clients located at home and abroad, we listed the sales revenue which grew compared with the last year and that from specific customers as one of the key audit matters.
The main audit procedures we performed for the above matters are as follows
- Learned about and tested the effectiveness of the main internal control design and implementation for sales revenue.
- Sampled and verified the external orders and shipping documents of specific counterparties to confirm the authenticity of the sales revenue.
- Sampled and reviewed sales revenue related vouchers and collection status, and verified that the sales recipient and the party receiving payment matched.
Responsibilities of the management and the governing bodies for the parent company only financial statements
The management’s responsibilities are to prepare the parent company only financial statements with fair presentation in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and to maintain necessary internal control associated with the preparation in order to ensure that the parent company only financial statements are free from material misstatement arising from fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Company in continuing as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and adopting the going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Company or cease the operations without other viable alternatives.
The Company’s governing bodies (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement arising from fraud or error and to issue an independent auditors’ report. Reasonable assurance is a high-level assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatement may arise from frauds or errors. If the amounts of misstatements, either separately or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of the parent company only financial statements, they are considered material.
- 4 -
We have utilized our professional judgment and maintained professional doubt when performing the audit work in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. We also performed the following tasks:
-
Identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement arising from fraud or error within the parent company only financial statements; designed and executed countermeasures in response to said risks, and obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis for our opinion. Fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Therefore, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the one resulting from error.
-
Understood the internal control related to the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, while not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by the management.
-
Concluded on the appropriateness of the management's adoption of the going concern basis of accounting based on the audit evidence obtained and whether a material uncertainty exists for events or conditions that may cast significant doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we are of the opinion that a material uncertainty exists, we shall remind users of the parent company only financial statements to pay attention to relevant disclosures in said statements within our audit report. If such disclosures are inadequate, we need 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 Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluated the overall presentation, structure, and content of the parent company only financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the parent company only financial statements adequately present the relevant transactions and events.
-
Obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence concerning the financial information of entities within the Company, to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We were responsible for guiding, supervising, and performing the audit and forming an audit opinion on the Company.
The matters communicated between us and the governing bodies included the planned scope and times of the audit and material audit findings (including any Significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during the audit).
- 5 -
We also provide the governing bodies with a declaration that we have complied with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China regarding independence and communicated with them all relations and other matters that may possibly be regarded as detrimental to our independence (including relevant protective measures).
From the matters communicated with the governing bodies, we determined the key audit matters for the audit of the Company's parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. We have clearly indicated such matters in the auditors' report. Unless legal regulations prohibit the public disclosure of specific matters, or in extremely rare cases, where we decided not to communicate over specific items in the auditors' report for it could be reasonably anticipated that the negative effects of such disclosure would be greater than the public interest it brings forth.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are Cheng-Chih, Lin and Chih-yuan Wen.

Weltrend Semiconductor Incorporated Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements For the Years Ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 (In thousand NTD, unless otherwise specified)
- Company History
Weltrend Semiconductor, Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated in Hsinchu Science Park in July 1989 and entered operations in September of the same year, mainly engaging in research, development, production, testing, and sales of digital and analog hybrid special application integrated circuits, as well as digital and analog integrated circuits.
The Company’s stock has been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (TWSE) since September 2000.
The parent company only financial statements are presented in the Company’s functional currency, New Taiwan dollar (NTD).
- Date and Procedures for Approval of Financial Statements
The parent company only financial statements were approved by the Board of Directors on March 11, 2026.
- Application of New, Amended and Revised Standards and Interpretations
(1) Initial application of the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) (collectively, the “IFRSs Accounting Standards”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC).
- Amendments to IAS 21 “Lack of Exchangeability”
The application of the amended to IAS 21 “Lack of Exchangeability” does not have material impact on the accounting policies of the Company.
(2) Application of IFRSs endorsed by FSC in 2026
| The new/amended/revised standards and interpretation | Effective date of IASB publication |

- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments"
(1) Regarding the revised application guidance on the classification of financial assets.
The amendments mainly revise the classification of financial assets, including:
A. If the financial asset includes a contingent event that changes the timing or amount of the contractual cash flows, and the nature of the contingent event is not directly related to changes in basic loan risk and cost (such as whether the debtor achieves a specific carbon emission reduction target), the contractual cash flows of such financial assets are still fully comprised of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount when the following two conditions are met:
- Contractual cash flows generated from all possible scenarios (whether events occur before or after) are solely for the payment of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.
- There is no significant difference between the contractual cash flows arising under all possible scenarios and the cash flows of financial instruments with the same contractual terms but lacking contingent features.
B. Financial assets without recourse rights refer to the enterprise's ultimate right to receive cash flows, limited to those generated by a specific asset as stipulated in the contract.
C. Clarify that contract-linked instruments are structured using a waterfall payment structure to create multiple tiers of securities, establishing a prioritized sequence for payments to financial asset holders. This generates credit risk concentration and can lead to a disproportionate allocation of cash shortfalls from the underlying pool among the different security tiers.
As of the date of publication of these parent company only financial statements, the Company continues to assess the impact of amendments on its financial position and financial performance. Relevant impacts will be disclosed upon completion of the assessment.

- IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure of Financial Statements" and related consequential amendments
IFRS 18 will replace IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements" and the main changes include:
- The Company shall assess whether it has specific main business activities such as investing in specific types of assets and providing financing to customers, based on which the income and expense items in the income statement are classified into the operating, investing, financing, income tax, and discontinued operations categories.
- The income statement shall present operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income tax, as well as subtotal and total profit and loss.
- Provide guidance to strengthen the requirements of aggregation and segmentation: The Company must identify assets, liabilities, equity, revenues, expenses, and cash flows arising from individual transactions or other events and classify and aggregate them on the basis of common characteristics so that each line item presented in the primary financial statements has at least one similar characteristic. Items with non-similarity characteristics in the main financial statements and notes should be divided. The Company only marks such items as "others" when no more informative mark can be found.
- Increasing the disclosure of the performance measurement defined by management: When the Company has opened communication outside the financial statements, and when management's view of the Company's overall financial performance on a certain aspect is communicated with the users of the financial statements, it shall be disclosed in a separate note to the financial statements on performance measurements defined by management, including descriptions of the measurements, how to calculate them, reconciliations between them and any subtotals or totals specified in IFRS, and the impact of relevant adjustments on income tax and non-controlling interests, etc.
In addition, the following consequential amendments were made to IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows:"
-
When the Company prepares the statement of cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method, operating profit or loss shall be the starting point for reconciliation.
-
The interest and dividends received by the Company shall be classified as investment activities, while the interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. If the Company is assessed to have specific main business activities, it must consider the types of dividend income, interest income, and interest expense listed in the income statement to
-
15 -
determine the classification of receiving dividends, receiving interest, and paying interest in the statement of cash flows. However, the above cash flows can only be classified in a single activity in the statement of cash flows.
In addition to the above effects, as of the date of approving the parent company only financial statements for release, the Company had continued to evaluate other effects of the amendments to various standards and interpretations on its financial position and financial performance, and the relevant effects will be disclosed when the assessment is completed.
4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
(1) Compliance Statement
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
(2) Basis of preparation
The parent company only financial statements were prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities recognized at the present value of defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The assessment of fair value could be classified into Level 1 to Level 3 by the observable intensity and importance of the related input value:
- Level 1 input value: refers to the quotation of the same asset or liability in an active market as of the assessment (before adjustment).
- Level 2 input value: refers to the direct (the price) or indirect (inference of price) observable input value of asset or liability further to the quotation of Level 1.
- Level 3 input value: the unobservable input value of asset or liability.
When the Company prepared the parent company only financial statements, it adopted the equity method to account for the investments in its subsidiaries. To enable the amounts of this year's profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and equity in the parent company only financial statements to be the same as the ones attributable to the owners of the Company, other comprehensive income, and equity in the consolidated financial statements, regarding the differences arising from accounting treatments between the parent company only basis and the consolidation basis, adjustments were made to the investments accounted for using the equity method, the share of profit or loss of subsidiaries using the equity method, the share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries using the equity method, as well as relevant equity items, as appropriate.
(3) 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
- 16 -
- Cash and 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
- At the balance sheet date, the Company has no substantive right to defer settlement of liabilities for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current. For the terms of a liability that may be settled by the transfer of the Company's equity instruments at the option of the counterparty, if the Company classifies the option as an equity instrument, the terms and conditions do not affect the liability classification as current or non-current.
(4) Business combination
Business combination is handled in an acquisition method. Acquisition-related costs are recognized in expenses in the period in which the costs are incurred and the services are obtained.
Goodwill is measured with the sum of the fair value of the consideration for the transfer and the fair value of the equity in the acquiree previously held by the acquirer at the acquisition date, less the net amount of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the acquisition date.
(5) Foreign currency
When the Company prepares the parent company only financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional currency (foreign currencies) are converted into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date.
On each balance sheet date, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on 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 measured at historical cost that are denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates of exchange prevailing on the transaction dates and are not retranslated.
(6) Inventory
Inventory includes raw materials, work in process, finished goods, and merchandise. The value of inventory shall be determined based on the cost or net realizable value, whichever is lower. The comparison of the cost and net realizable value is based on individual items except for inventory of the same category. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The cost of inventories is calculated using the weighted average method.
- 17 -
(7) Investment in subsidiaries
The Company adopts the equity method to account for its investments in subsidiaries.
A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company.
Under the equity method, investments are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company's share of the profit or loss, other comprehensive income, and profit margins of the subsidiaries. Moreover, the Company recognizes the movements in its share of other equity of subsidiaries based on the shareholding ratio.
Movements in the Company's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. Any difference between the amount of investment and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity.
When the Company assesses the impairment, it considers the cash-generating unit as a whole in the financial statements and compares its recoverable amount with the carrying amount. If the recoverable amount of an asset increases subsequently, the reversal of the impairment loss shall be recognized in gains, but the carrying amount of the asset after the reversal of the impairment loss shall not exceed the carrying amount of the asset less amortization without impairment loss recognized.
The unrealized profit or loss on downstream transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated in the standalone financial statements. Profit or loss on downstream and lateral transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries is recognized in the parent company only financial statements only to the extent that it does not affect the Company's interests in the subsidiaries.
(8) Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recognized at cost and subsequently measured at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Except for self-owned land, other property, plant and equipment are depreciated on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The Company conducts at least an annual review at the end of each year to assess the estimated useful life, residual value, and depreciation methods, and apply the effects of changes in accounting estimates prospectively.
When property, plant and equipment are derecognized, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
- 18 -
(9) Investment property
Investment property is held to earn rentals or for capital appreciation or both, and it also includes land held for which the future use has not yet been determined.
Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs, and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses.
Depreciation of investment properties is recognized on a straight-line basis.
Property, plant and equipment are reclassified into investment property at the carrying amount at the end of self-use.
When investment property is derecognized, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
(10) Intangible assets
- Acquired separately
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost, less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized using straight-line method over the useful lives. The Company conducts at least one annual review at the end of each year to assess the estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization methods, while applying the effects of changes in accounting estimates prospectively.
- Derecognition
When an intangible asset is derecognized, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in current profit or loss.
(11) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, investment property and intangible assets
The Company assesses if there are any signs of possible impairment of property, plant, and equipment as well as right-of-use assets, investment property, and intangible assets at each balance sheet date. If there is any sign of impairment, an estimate is made of its recoverable amount. If it is not possible to determine the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash generating unit (CGU) to which the asset belongs.
The recoverable amount is the fair value less cost of sales or its value in use, whichever is higher. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or a CGU is lower than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount, and the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
- 19 -
When the impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or the CGU is increased to the revised recoverable amount, provided that the increased carrying amount shall not exceed the carrying amount (less amortization or depreciation) of the asset or the CGU, which was not recognized in impairment loss in prior years. The reversal of the impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
(12) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the parent company only balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities not at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities. The transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss is immediately recognized in profit or loss.
- Financial assets
Regular trading of financial assets is recognized and derecognized in accordance with trade date accounting.
(1) Measurement types
Financial assets held by the Company are those measured at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at amortized cost, and investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income.
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are those mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss and those designated as at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss include investments in equity instruments that are not designated by the Company to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized at fair value. Dividend and interest income are recorded under other income and interest income, respectively, while gains or losses from remeasurement are recognized under other gains and losses. Please refer to Note 30 for the method of determining fair values.
- 20 -
B. Financial assets at amortized cost
If the Company invests in financial assets in alignment with both of the following two criteria, such assets are classified as financial assets measured by amortized cost:
a. Held under a certain business model, of which the objective is to collect contractual cash flows by holding the financial assets; and b. The cash flows on specific dates specified in the contractual terms are solely payments of the principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Such assets (including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable at amortized cost, accounts receivable, other receivables, and pledged time deposits) are measured at the amortized cost of the total carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss after initial recognition; and any foreign currency exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the total carrying amount of financial assets:
Cash equivalents include time deposits, highly liquid and readily convertible into a fixed amount of cash at any time while featuring little risk of value changes, which are used to meet short-term cash commitments.
Demand deposits that are restricted from use under contracts with third parties are also cash, unless such restrictions change the nature of the deposit, and make it no longer conform to the definition of cash. If the contract restricts the use of demand deposits for more than 12 months after the balance sheet date, the relevant amount is classified as non-current assets.
C. Investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income
On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at fair value through other comprehensive income. Designation as at fair value through other comprehensive income is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.
Investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value with the subsequent movements in the fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. Upon the disposal of an investment, the cumulative profit or loss is directly reclassified to retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss.
- 21 -
Dividends on such 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 investment cost.
(2) Impairment of financial assets
The Company assesses the impairment loss of financial assets at amortized cost (including accounts receivable) based on the expected credit loss at each balance sheet date.
An allowance for losses on accounts receivable is recognized based on expected credit loss over the duration of the receivables. Other financial assets are first assessed based on whether the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition. If there is no significant increase in the risk, the impairment is recognized in allowance for losses in an amount equal to 12-month expected credit loss. If the risks have increased significantly, the impairment is recognized in allowance for losses at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit loss.
The expected credit loss refers to the weighted average credit loss with the risk of default as the weight. The 12-month expected credit loss represents the expected credit loss from possible defaults of a financial instrument within 12 months after the reporting date. The lifetime expected credit loss represents the expected credit loss from all possible defaults in a financial instrument over the expected life of a financial instrument.
All impairment losses on financial assets are reduced to their carrying amounts through an allowance account for losses.
(3) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash inflow from the financial asset expire or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
Upon derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the consideration received is recognized in profit or loss. When an investment in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income is derecognized in its entirety, the cumulative profit or loss is transferred directly to retained earnings and not reclassified to profit or loss.
- Equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as either financial liabilities or equity as per the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of financial liabilities and equity instruments.
- 22 -
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of the cost of direct issue.
The repurchase of the Company’s own equity instruments is recognized in and deducted directly from equity. The purchase, sale, issuance, or cancellation of the Company’s own equity instruments is not recognized in profit or loss.
- Financial liabilities
(1) Subsequent measurement
All the Company’s financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost in the effective interest method, except for the following.
A. Financial liabilities Measured at Fair Value Through Profit or Loss
Financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss include financial liabilities held for trading.
Financial liabilities held for trading are measured at fair value, and any gains or losses on such financial liabilities are recognized in other gains or losses.
Please refer to Note 30 for the method of determining fair values.
(2) 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.
- Convertible corporate bonds
The components of the compound financial instruments (convertible corporate bonds) issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities and equity, respectively, at the time of initial recognition based on the substance of the contractual agreements and the definitions of financial liabilities and equity instruments.
At the time of initial recognition, the fair value of a liability component is estimated at the real-time market interest rate for similar non-convertible instruments and measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method before conversion or the maturity date. Liability components that are embedded non-equity derivatives are measured at fair value.
The right to convert bonds classified as equity is equal to the remaining amount of the total fair value of the compound instruments, less the separately determined fair value of each liability component, which is recognized as equity after the effect of income tax is deducted and is not subsequently measured. When the right to convert bonds is exercised, its components of liabilities and the amount of equity will be reclassified as share capital and capital surplus - stock issuance premium. If the right to convert the convertible corporate bonds has not been exercised on the maturity date, the amount recognized in equity will be reclassified as capital surplus - stock issuance premium.
- 23 -
The transaction costs related to the convertible corporate bonds issued are allocated to the components of liabilities (included in the carrying amounts of liabilities) and components of equity (included in equity) of the instruments in proportion to the total price.
(13) Provisions
The amount recognized in provisions is based on the risk and uncertainty of the obligation, and is the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date. The provisions are measured at the discounted value of the estimated cash flows to settle the obligations.
(14) Revenue recognition
After the Company identifies its performance obligations in contracts with clients, it allocates the transaction costs to each obligation in the contracts and recognizes revenue upon completion of performance obligations.
Merchandise sales revenue
The merchandise sales revenue is from the sales of integrated circuits (ICs). As the merchandise arrives at/is delivered to the location designated by a client based on different transaction terms, the client has the right to set the price and use the merchandise and assume the main responsibility for reselling the merchandise, while bearing the risk of obsolescence of the merchandise, upon which the Company recognizes it in revenue and accounts receivable. Advance receipts from the merchandise sales are recognized in contract liabilities before the merchandise is delivered.
(15) Leasing
The Company assesses whether a contract belongs to (or contains) a lease on the date of establishment of the contract.
- The Company as a lessor
Where almost all the risks and rewards attached to the ownership of an asset are transferred to the lessee in lease terms, such leases are classified as finance leases. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
When the Company subleases the right-of-use assets, the right-of-use assets (not the asset itself) are used to determine the classification of the sublease. However, if the main lease is a short-term lease for which the recognition exemption applies to the Company, the sublease is classified as an operating lease.
Under finance leases, lease payments include fixed payments. The net lease investment is measured at the lease receivables and presented as financial lease receivables. Finance income is allocated to each accounting period to reflect the fixed rate of return on the Company's net investment in a lease that has not expired in each period.
- 24 -
Under operating leases, lease payments, less lease incentives, are recognized in income on a straight-line basis over the relevant lease terms.
- The Company as a lessee
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the lease commencement date, except for low-value asset leases and short-term leases accounted for with recognition exemption applied where lease payments are recognized in expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
The right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost (including the initially measured amount of the lease liability) and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, and the remeasurement of the lease liability is adjusted. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the parent company only balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the end of the useful life or the end of the lease term, whichever is earlier.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payment (including fixed payments). If the interest rate implicit in a lease can be easily determined, the lease payment is discounted at such an interest rate. If the interest rate cannot be easily determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate applies.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at the amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, and interest expense is amortized over the lease term. If changes during the lease term or the index or rate used to determine lease payments lead to changes in future lease 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 has been reduced to zero, the remaining remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss. For lease modifications that are not treated as a separate lease, remeasurement of the lease liabilities due to the reduced scope of the lease is to reduce the right-of-use assets and to account for the profit or loss on the partial or full termination of the lease; the remeasurement of the lease liabilities due to other modifications is to adjust the right-of-use assets. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the parent company only balance sheets.
The variable rent in a lease arrangement that is not dependent on the index or rate is recognized in income in the period, in which it is incurred.
(16) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the year, in which they are incurred.
- 25 -
(17) Employee benefits
- Short-term employee benefits
Relevant liabilities for short-term employee benefits are measured by the non-discounted amount expected to be paid in exchange for employee services.
- Retirement benefits
For pension under the defined contribution plan, the amount of pension contributed is recognized in expenses during employees' service period.
The defined benefit cost under the defined benefit pension plan (including service cost, net interest, and remeasurement) is calculated based on the projected unit credit method. Current service costs and net interest on net defined benefit liabilities are recognized in employee benefit expenses when incurred. The remeasurement (including actuarial gains and losses and plan asset remuneration net of interest) is recognized in other comprehensive income and listed in retained earnings when it occurs, and will not be reclassified to profit or loss after the balance sheet date.
The net defined benefit liabilities are the deficit of the defined benefit pension plan.
(18) Share-based payment agreement - employee stock options
Employee stock options for employees and others who provide similar services
Employee stock options are recognized in expenses at the fair values of the equity instruments on the grant date and the best estimate of the number of equity instruments that will vest during the vesting period on a straight-line basis, while "capital surplus - employee stock options" is adjusted accordingly. If it is immediately vested on the grant date, the full amount is recognized in expenses on the grant date. The Company transfers treasury shares to employees, and the date of approval by the Board of Directors is adopted as the grant date.
On each balance sheet date, the Company revises the estimated number of employee stock options that are expected to be vested. In the case of a revision to the original estimated number, the effect is recognized in profit or loss, so that the cumulative expenses can reflect the revised estimate, while "capital surplus - employee stock options" is adjusted accordingly.
(19) Income tax
Income tax expense is the sum of the current income tax and deferred income tax.
- Income tax expenses in the current period
The Company determines the current income (loss) in accordance with the laws and regulations formulated by the authority in the jurisdiction to which an income tax turn should be filed and calculates the payable (recoverable) income tax accordingly.
A surtax is imposed on the undistributed earnings pursuant to the Income Tax Act of R.O.C. is recognized via the resolution at the annual shareholders' meeting.
- 26 -
Adjustment to income tax payable from prior years are recognized in the current income tax.
2. Deferred tax
Deferred tax is calculated based on the temporary differences between the carrying amount of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable income.
All taxable temporary differences are generally in deferred tax liabilities, and deferred tax assets are accounted for when there are likely to be taxable income to deduct temporary differences and research and development expenses.
Taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries are recognized in deferred liabilities, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that said temporary difference will not be reversed in the foreseeable future. The deductible temporary differences related to said investments are recognized as deferred income tax only if it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable income against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences, and they are expected to be reversed 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 income will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at each balance sheet date, and its carrying amount will be increased as it has become probable that future taxable income will allow all or part of the asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates in the period in which the liabilities are expected to be settled or assets realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would ensue in a manner expected by the Company at the balance sheet date, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
3. Current and deferred tax
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 recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.
5. Significant Accounting Judgments and Estimations, and Main Sources of Assumption Uncertainties
When adopting accounting policies, the Company is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that are based on historical experience and other factors that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from the estimates.
- 27 -
The Company, when developing significant estimates, has market interest rate fluctuations in cash flow estimation, growth rates, discount rates, and profitability. The management team will continue to review such estimates and underlying assumptions.
After the accounting policies, estimates and basic assumptions adopted by the Company are assessed by the management, there is no significant accounting judgment, estimate or assumption uncertainty.

The Company's average credit period for commodity sales is net 15 to 150 days after the end of each month, without interest accrued on accounts receivable. To reduce the credit risk, the Company, before working with each new client, fills out a credit application form through a business unit, and the responsible reviews the form and has the form countersigned by relevant units, while evaluating the potential client's credit quality to set its credit limit. The client's credit limit and rating are reviewed or updated from time to time every year with reference to its operating performance, transaction amount, time, and other factors. In addition, the Company will review the recoverable amount of receivables on each balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment loss has been appropriated for the uncollectible receivables. As such, the Company's management believes that the Company's credit risk has been significantly reduced.
The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on accounts receivable based on expected credit loss over the duration of the receivables. Lifetime expected credit losses are calculated using a provision matrix based on each client's past default record, current financial position, economic situation in the industry, and industry outlook. Since the Company's credit loss history shows that there is no significant difference in the loss patterns of different customer groups, therefore, instead of further differentiating the customer groups, the provision matrix only sets the expected credit loss rate based on the number of days overdue on accounts receivable.
If there is evidence that the counterparty is in serious financial difficulty and the Company cannot reasonably expect to recover the amount, the Company shall directly write off the related accounts receivable but shall engage in recourse activities and recognize the amount recovered in profit or loss as a result of the recourse.
The allowance for losses on notes and accounts receivable measured by the Company as per the provision matrix is as follows:
December 31, 2025
| Not overdue | Past due by 1-30 days | Past due by 31-60 days | Past due by 61-90 days | Past due by 91-120 days | Past due by 121 days or more | Total | |

- Retirement benefit plans
(1) Defined contribution pension plan
The Company adopted a pension scheme under the Labor Pension Act, which is a government-managed defined contribution plan. Under the act, the Company makes monthly contributions, equal to 6% of their monthly salary and wages, to employees' individual pension accounts under the Bureau of Labor Insurance.
(2) Defined benefit plan
The pension scheme adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Act of R.O.C. is a government-managed defined benefit pension plan. The payment for employee pensions is calculated based on the length of service and the average salary in the six months prior to the approved retirement date. The Company makes a contribution, equal to 2% of the total monthly employee salaries, which is deposited by the Supervisory Committee of Labor Retirement Reserve in the pension account with the Bank of Taiwan in the name of the committee. Before the end of each year, if the balance in the pension account is inadequate to pay for the retirement benefits to employees who meet the retirement requirements in the following year, the Group will make a contribution to make up for the difference in a lump sum by the end of March of the following year. The pension account is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor; the Company has no right to influence its investment management strategy.
The amounts included in the parent company only balance sheets in respect of such defined benefit plans are as follows:

The Company is exposed to the risks below due to the pension system under the Labor Standards Act:
- Investment risk: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor, invests labor pension funds in domestic (foreign) equity securities, debt securities, and bank deposits on its own use and through agencies entrusted. However, the income from the Company's amount allocated to plan assets is calculated based on the interest rate not lower than the local bank's interest rate for two-year time deposits.
-
Interest risk: A decrease in the interest rate in the government bonds will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, the return on the debt investment through the plan assets will also increase, and the increases will partially offset the effect of the net defined benefit liability.
-
Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated with reference to the future salaries of the participants in the plan. As such, an increase in the salary of the participants in the plan will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the Company's defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The critical assumptions made on the measurement date are as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 1.125%~1.25% | 1.375%~1.5% |
| Expected salary increase | 2.750% | 2.750% |
| percentage |
If each of the critical actuarial assumptions is subject to reasonably possible changes, when all other assumptions remain unchanged, the amounts by which the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) are as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | ||
| Increase by 0.25% | ($ 2,016) | ($ 2,136) |
| Decrease by 0.25% | $ 2,075 | $ 2,198 |
| Expected salary increase percentage | ||
| Increase by 0.25% | $ 2,010 | $ 2,133 |
| Decrease by 0.25% | ($ 1,964) | ($ 2,084) |
As actuarial assumptions may be correlated, it is unlikely that only a single assumption would occur in isolation of one another, so the sensitivity analysis above may not reflect the actual changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| The expected contributions to the plan for the following year | $ 1,488 | $ 1,510 |
| The weighted average duration of the defined benefit obligations | 1.4 years–7.0 years | 2.9 years–7.6 years |

(4) Purpose and policy of financial risk management
The Company's financial management department provides services to each business unit, coordinates the operations of investments in the domestic and international financial markets, and supervises and manages the financial risks related to the Company's operations by analyzing the internal risk reports of exposures according to the level and breadth of the risks. These risks include market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The financial management department reports regularly to the Company's Board of Directors.
- 54 -
- 55 -
- Market Risk
The main financial risks to the Company’s operating activities are the risk of foreign exchange rate fluctuations (see (1) below) and the risk of changes in interest rates (see (2) below).
There have been no changes in the Company’s exposure to financial instrument market risks and its method to managing and measuring such exposure.
(1) Exchange rate risk
Some of the Company’s cash inflows and outflows are denominated in foreign currencies with the effect of natural hedging; the Company’s management of the exchange rate risk aims to hedge rather than making profits.
Please refer to Note 34 for the carrying amounts of the Company’s monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in non-functional currencies on the balance sheet date.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company is mainly affected by the fluctuations in the exchange rates of USD.
The table below illustrates the Company’s sensitivity analysis when the NTD (the functional currency) increases and decreases by 1% against each relevant foreign currency. In the sensitivity analysis, the outstanding monetary items in foreign currencies were taken into account, the end-of-period translation was adjusted by 1% change in exchange rates. The positive numbers in the following table represent the increase in net profits before tax if the New Taiwan dollar weakens by 1% against the respective currencies, and the negative numbers for the same amount represent the decrease in net profits before tax if the NT dollar strengthens by 1% against the respective currencies.
| Impact of USD | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Profit or loss | $ 8,367 | $ 7,360 |
The Company’s sensitivity to the USD increased in this year, mainly due to the increase in its foreign currency assets.
The management believes that the sensitivity analysis cannot represent the inherent exchange rate risk as foreign currency exposures on the balance sheet date cannot reflect the interim exposures.
(2) Interest rate risk
Interest rate exposures arise as the Company hold assets and liabilities at both fixed and floating rates.
The carrying amount of financial assets and liabilities of the Company under interest rate exposure on balance sheet date is as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| With fair value interest rate risk | ||
| - Financial assets | $ 3,589 | $ 75,600 |
| - Financial liabilities | 1,162,324 | 1,095,310 |
| With cash flow interest rate risk | ||
| - Financial assets | 458,923 | 254,697 |
Sensitivity analysis
The following sensitivity analyses are based on the interest rate risk exposure of the non-derivative instruments on the balance sheet date. The analysis of assets at floating rates is based on the assumption that the amount of assets outstanding at the balance sheet date was outstanding throughout the reporting period.
If the annual rate of interest increased/decreased by 1%, with all other variables remaining unchanged, the Company's net income before tax for 2025 and 2024 would have decreased/increased by NT$4,589 thousand and NT$2,547 thousand, respectively, mainly due to the Company's exposure to the risk of the net assets at floating interest rates.
The Company's sensitivity to interest rates increased in this period, mainly due to the increase in the financial assets at floating interest rates.
(3) Other price risks
The Company is exposed to the equity price risk due to the investments in listed equity securities. The equity investments are not held for trading and are strategic investments. The Company is not actively trading these equity securities. The Company's equity price risk is mainly concentrated in the equity instruments in the electronic industry traded in stock exchanges and over-the-counter markets in Taiwan.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was performed based on the equity price exposure on the balance sheet date.
If the securities price increased/decreased by 1%, the profit or loss before tax for 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by NT$4,732 thousand and NT$4,360 thousand respectively, mainly due to increase/decrease in the Group's financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
- 56 -
The Company’s sensitivity to price risk increased in this year, mainly due to the increase in the Company’s investment in financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.
If the securities price increased/decreased by 1%, the other comprehensive income before tax for 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by NT$3,323 thousand and NT$3,634 thousand respectively, mainly due to increase/decrease in the Group’s financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
The Company’s sensitivity to price risk decreased in this year, mainly due to the decrease in the Company’s investment in financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
- Credit Risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty defaults on its contractual obligations, resulting in a financial loss to the Company. As of the balance sheet date, the Company's maximum exposure to credit risk of financial loss due to non-performance by counter-parties is mainly from the carrying amount of financial assets recognized in parent company only balance sheets.
To mitigate credit risk, the Company has formulated credit and accounts receivable management measures to ensure that appropriate actions have been taken to recover overdue receivables. In addition, the Company will review the recoverable amount of receivables on each balance sheet date to ensure that appropriate impairment loss has been appropriated for the uncollectible receivables. As such, the Company’s management believes that the Company’s credit risk has been significantly reduced.
The Group has a wide range of clients across different industries and geographical regions for accounts receivables. The Company continuously evaluates the financial position of clients with accounts receivable.
The Company does not have significant credit risk exposure to any single counterparty or any group of counterparties with similar characteristics. When the transaction counterparties are affiliates, the Company defines them as transaction counterparties with similar characteristics.
- Liquidity Risk
The Company manages and maintains sufficient cash and cash equivalents to support the Company's operations and mitigate the impact of cash flow fluctuations. The Company's management monitors the use of bank financing facilities and ensures compliance with the terms of the borrowing agreements.
- 57 -
Bank loans are a source of liquidity for the Company. Please refer to the description of (2) financing facilities below for the Company's bank financing facilities undrawn as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.
(1) Table of liquidity and interest rate risk of non-derivative financial liabilities
The analysis of the remaining contractual maturities of non-derivative financial liabilities has been prepared based on the undiscounted cash flows (including principal and estimated interest) of the financial liabilities based on the earliest possible date on which the Company can be required to make repayment. Therefore, bank borrowings that the Company may be required to repay immediately are shown in the table below for the earliest period, without regard to the probability that the bank will enforce the right immediately; the maturity analysis of other non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared based on the contractual repayment dates.
