Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Winstar Display Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have completed our audit of Winstar Display Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as Winstar Group) Consolidated Balance Sheet for December 31, 2025 and 2024; and Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies) for January 1 – December 31, 2025 and 2024.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above have been prepared, in all material respects, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRS), International Accounting Standards(IAS), IFRIC Interpretations(IFRIC) and SIC Interpretation(SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and fairly present the consolidated financial position of Winstar Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flow from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024.
Basis for Opinion
We have performed entrusted audit work in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our
- 3 -
report. Our personnel subject to standards of independence have maintained detached independence from Winstar Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and have performed other responsibilities under that Norm. We believe that sufficient and appropriate audit evidence has been obtained to serve as a basis for expressing an audit opinion.
Key Audit Matter
Key audit matters refer to the most important matters for the audit of Winstar Group's 2025 consolidated financial statements based on our professional judgment. The matter was addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on the matter.
The key audit matter for the Group's 2025 consolidated financial statements is stated as follows:
Authenticity of revenue recognition from specific customers
Winstar Group's operating revenue mainly comes from the production and sales of LCD modules and OLED display modules. The operating revenue in 2025 decreased from the previous year due to changes in market demand. As transaction amount of a specific customer is material to operating revenue as a whole, authenticity of revenue recognition for specific customers is listed as a key audit matter. Please refer to Note 4 to the financial statements for the relevant accounting policies for revenue recognition.
In response to this key audit matter, we perform the following audit procedures:
- Understand and evaluate the effectiveness of the design and execution of internal control related to audit risks in the sales and collection cycle.
- We select a sample of the operating revenue of specific customers, and review the relevant documents and payment vouchers for the operating revenue recognized to confirm the authenticity of the operating revenue recognized.
Other Matters
Winstar Display Co., Ltd. has prepared parent company only financial statements for 2025 and 2024, and the audit reports with unmodified opinions that we have issued are on file for reference.
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 Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
When compiling the consolidated financial statements, management's responsibilities also include disclosing the evaluation of Winstar Group's ability to continue as a going concern and related matters, and the adoption of a going concern basis of accounting unless management intends to liquidate Winstar Group or to cease operations or there is no practical alternative to liquidation or closure.
The units charged with governance of Winstar Group (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for supervising the 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 auditing standards 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 auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and 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, as
-
5 -
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 internal control of Winstar Group.
-
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 ability of Winstar Group to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the 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 auditors' report. However, future events or circumstances may result in Winstar Group no longer having the ability 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 for the financial information of the constituent entities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have
- 6 -
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 Winstar Group's 2025 consolidated financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are Li-Wei Liu and Ting-Chien Su.

IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements" and consequential amendments
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1" Presentation of Financial Statements". The main changes comprise:
- To classify items of income and expenses presented in the statement of profit or loss into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories, the Group shall assess whether it has specified main business activities of investing in particular types of assets and providing financing to customers.
- The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
- Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Group shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Group shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Group labels items as "other" only if it cannot find a more informative label.
-
Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management's view of an aspect of the financial performance of the Group as a whole, the Group shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.
-
17 -
In addition, the following consequential amendments have been made to IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows":
- The Group shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.
- Interest and dividends received by the Group shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. However, if, after assessment, the Group has a specific main operating activity, it shall determine how to classify dividends received, interest received and interest paid in the statement of cash flows by referring to how it classifies dividend income, interest income and interest expense in the statement of profit or loss. The total of each of these cash flows shall be classified in a single category in the statement of cash flows.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Group's financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
4. Summary of significant accounting policies information
(1) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.
(2) Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3
- 18 -
based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs, are described as follows:
- Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities on the measurement date;
- Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
- Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
(3) 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 reporting date; and
- Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Current liabilities include:
- Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
- Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting date, and
- Liabilities for which the Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
(4) Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (the "subsidiaries"). Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective dates of acquisitions or up to the
- 19 -
effective dates of disposals. Adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those of the Group. When compiling the consolidated financial statements, all intra-group transactions, account balances, and gains and losses between subsidiaries have been eliminated in full. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Changes in the Group's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Group losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the interests of the Group and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Company.
Please refer to Note 11, Table 7 and Table 8 for detailed information on subsidiaries, percentage of ownership and main business.
(5) Foreign currencies
When each individual entity compiles financial statements, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (i.e., in foreign currency) shall be converted into the functional currency recorded at the exchange rate on the day of the transaction.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences arising from delivery of monetary items or translation of monetary items are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they occur.
Foreign currency non-monetary items measured by fair value are translated at the exchange rate on the day when the fair value is determined, and any resulting exchange difference is listed as profit or loss for that year
- 20 -
except when the change in fair value is recognized in other comprehensive income, in which case the resulting exchange difference is listed in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured based on historical cost are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction.
When preparing consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan Dollars at the exchange rate on each balance sheet date (including subsidiaries and associates operating in countries or using currencies that differ from those of the Company). Income and expense items are translated at the current year average exchange rate, and the resulting exchange differences are listed in other comprehensive income, and are respectively attributed to owners of the Company owners and to non-controlling interest.
If the Group disposes of all interests related to a foreign operation, all of the accumulated exchange differences attributable to the owners of the Company related to the foreign operation will be reclassified to profit or loss.
(6) Inventories
Inventories include raw materials, work-in-progress, semi-finished products, and finished goods, which are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The comparison of cost and net realizable value is based on individual items, except for inventories of the same category. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses. Inventory cost is determined using the weighted-average method.
(7) Investments in Associates
An associate is an enterprise that the Group has significant influence over but is not a subsidiary.
The Group adopts the equity method for investments in associates.
Under the equity method, an investment in an associate is initially recognized at cost, and the book value after acquisition will increase or decrease with the Group's share of the associate's profit or loss, other
- 21 -
comprehensive income, and earnings distributions. In addition, changes in the equity of an associate are recognized based on the shareholding ratio.
The amount of the acquisition cost exceeding the net fair value share of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate to which the Group is entitled on the acquisition date is listed as goodwill, which is included in the book value of the investment and cannot be amortized. The excess of the share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the associate over the acquisition cost is listed as current period profit or loss.
When the Group subscribes for additional new shares of an associate and a joint venture at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Group's proportionate interest in the associate and joint venture. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in equity of associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method and investments accounted for using the equity method. If the Group's ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription of the new shares of the associate and joint venture, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate and joint venture is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
The entire carrying amount of an investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
- 22 -
Profits and losses arising from upstream, downstream, and lateral transactions between the Group and associates shall be recognized in the consolidated financial statements only to the extent that they are not connected to the Group's rights and interests in the associate.
(8) Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Property, plant and equipment under construction is recognized at cost. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. These assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.
Each material component of property, plant and equipment is depreciated separately on a straight-line basis over its useful life. The Group shall review estimated service life, residual value, and depreciation method at the end of each year at a minimum, and it shall defer the effect of changes in applicable accounting estimates.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
(9) Investment property
Investment property is held for the purpose of earning rent or capital appreciation or both. Investment property also includes land held for which the future use has not yet been determined.
Self-owned investment property is initially measured at cost (including transaction costs) and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. The Group adopts a straight-line basis for depreciation.
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.
- 23 -
(10) Intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis within useful lives. The estimated useful lives, residual values and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each fiscal year, with the effects of any changes in the accounting estimates for on a prospective basis.
Upon derecognition of intangible assets, the difference between the net disposal price and the asset carrying amount is to be recognized in current year profit or loss.
(11) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, investment property and intangible assets
The Group evaluates at each balance sheet date whether there is any evidence that impairment has occurred among property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, investment properties, and intangible assets. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated. When 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.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset or cash-generating unit, less amortization or depreciation. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
- 24 -
(12) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
On initial recognition of a financial asset or a financial liability, if the financial asset or financial liability is not measured at fair value through profit or loss, it is measured at fair value plus any transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of the financial asset or financial liability. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
Financial asset
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
- Measurement category
The types of financial assets held by the Group are financial assets measured at amortized cost and investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(1) Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
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 of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
After the original recognition of financial assets measured at cost after amortization (including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable measured at amortized cost, accounts receivable, other receivables, and refundable deposits), these are measured at the amortized cost of the gross carrying amount determined using the
- 25 -
effective interest method less any impairment losses, and any foreign currency exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset, except for:
A. Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.
B. Financial asset that has subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from the second reporting period after the impairment.
A financial asset is credit impaired when: there are significant financial difficulty of the issuer or borrower or a breach of contract; it is probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization; or the disappearance of an active market for a financial asset due to financial difficulties.
(2) Equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Group may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments, which are not held for trading or as contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination, as at FVTOCI.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments; instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.
- 26 -
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Group's right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
- Impairment of Financial assets
The Group measures the impairment loss based on expected credit losses ("ECLs") on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables) on each balance sheet date.
The Group measures a loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs on trade receivables. For other financial assets, the Group recognizes the loss allowance for 12 months ECLs if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognizes the loss allowance for the lifetime ECLs if such credit risk has significant increased since initial recognition.
ECLs reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of a default occurring. 12-month ECL represents the portion of lifetime ECL that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. In contrast, lifetime ECL represents the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
For internal credit risk management purposes, the Group determines, without regard to the collateral held, that a default on a financial asset has occurred in the following circumstances:
(1) There is internal or external information indicating that the debtor is incapable of paying off its debts.
(2) Overdue for more than 180 days, unless there is reasonable and corroborative information showing that the delayed default standard is more appropriate.
The impairment loss of all financial assets is based on the reduction of the book value of the contra account.
- 27 -
- Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes financial assets only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the assets expire or when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the assets to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the cumulative gain or loss is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.
Financial liability
- Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
- Derecognition of financial liabilities
On derecognition, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
(13) Revenue recognition
The Group identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
For contracts in which the transfer of goods or services and the receipt of consideration are within one year, the transaction prices of the material finance components will not be adjusted.
- 28 -
Revenue from sale of goods
Revenue from sales of goods is recognized when the customer obtains control over the asset promised; that is, when the goods are delivered to the designated location and meet the performance obligations. Advance receipts from sales of goods are recognized as contract liabilities before the Group has met its performance obligations.
(14) Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
The Group as lessee
The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for low-value asset leases accounted for by applying a recognition exemption and short-term leases where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate will be used.
- 29 -
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. If there is a change in the lease term, the Group remeasures the lease liability and adjusts the right-of-use asset accordingly. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero, the remaining remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
(15) Borrowing Costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the costs of these assets, until the time when substantially all of 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 pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Except for the above, all other borrowing costs are recognized as profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
(16) Government Grants
Government subsidies related to income are recognized only when there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to the government subsidies and that the subsidies will be received.
Government subsidies are recognized on a systematic basis in the period in which the related costs for which they are intended to be reimbursed are recognized as expenses by the Group.
Government subsidies are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they become receivable if they are intended to compensate for expenses or losses already incurred or to provide immediate financial support to the Group and have no future related costs.
- 30 -
(17) Employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.
Post-employment benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost (including service costs for current period) and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefits expense on occurrence. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) constitute shortfalls (surpluses) in defined benefit plan contributions. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
(18) Share-based payment agreement
Employee stock options granted to employees of subsidiaries
Employee stock options granted by the Company to employees of a subsidiary in exchange for the Company's equity instruments are regarded as capital investment in the subsidiary. They are measured based on the fair value of the equity instrument on the grant date, and is recognized as an increase in the carrying amount of the investment in the subsidiary within the vesting period. Furthermore, there is a corresponding adjustment in
- 31 -
capital reserve-employee stock options.
(19) Taxation
Income tax expense is the sum of the current year income tax and deferred income tax.
- Income tax of the current year
Income tax payable (refundable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.
According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.
Adjustments of prior years' tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year's tax provision.
- Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences. If a temporary difference arises due to the initial recognition of other assets and liabilities, and the transaction does not affect taxable income or accounting profit at that time, it shall not be recognized as deferred income tax assets and liabilities.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of
- 32 -
the temporary differences and such temporary differences are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates expected in the year in which the liabilities are settled or the assets realized, 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 end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
- Current and deferred income tax for the year
Current year and deferred income taxes are recognized in profit or loss, with the exception that such items connected to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in equity are to be respectively recognized in other comprehensive income or directly included in equity.
- Material accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty
In the application of the Group's accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions on the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
When developing material accounting estimates, the Group considers the
- 33 -
possible impact of climate change and related government policies and regulations and the economic environment implications of the inflation and interest rate fluctuations and volatility in financial and energy and foreign currency markets and US reciprocal tariffs on the cash flow projection, growth rate, discount rate, profitabilities and other relevant material estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.

The Group invests in the above-mentioned corporate equity instruments for medium and long-term strategic purposes, and expects to make profits through long-term investments.

(1) Notes receivable
The Group individually reviews the recoverable amount of the notes receivable at the balance sheet date to ensure that an appropriate impairment loss has been recorded for the notes receivable that cannot be recovered. If a note receivable is not cashed out at maturity, it is deemed to be overdue and the full amount of impairment loss is recognized. The aging of notes receivable was as follows:

| Not past due | $ 3,954 | $ 2,348 |
| Overdue | - | - |
| $ 3,954 | $ 2,348 |
(2) Trade receivables
The credit period for the Group's sales depends on the sales target, region and conditions. No interest is accrued on accounts receivable. In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue receivables. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amounts of receivables on a case-by-case basis at the balance sheet date to ensure that unrecoverable receivables have been allocated to the appropriate impairment losses. In this regard, the management believes the Group's credit risk was significantly reduced.
The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Expected lifetime credit losses are calculated using a provision matrix that considers the customer's
past default record and the current financial status and economic conditions in the industry, as well as simultaneously considering GDP forecasts and industry outlook. As the Group's credit loss history shows that there is no significant difference in the loss patterns of different customer groups, the allowance matrix does not further divide the customer groups, and only sets the expected credit loss rate based on the number of days past due on accounts receivable.
If there is evidence that a counterparty is facing serious financial difficulties and the Group cannot reasonably expect a recoverable amount, the Group shall directly write off the relevant accounts receivable while still continuing to pursue recourse activities, and any recovered amount shall be recognized in profit or loss.
The Group measures allowances for uncollectable accounts of accounts receivable in accordance with the provision matrix as follows:
| Not past due | Overdue 1 to 60 days | Overdue 61 to 120 days | Overdue 121 to 180 days | Overdue over 181 days | Total | |

In 2006, WINSTAR CHANGSHU acquired land use rights in a Taiwan-funded industrial park in Xinzhuang Town, Changshu City, Jiangsu Province, China, with a useful life of 45 years. In 2013, WINSTAR CHANGSHU acquired land use rights in Dalingshan Town, Dongguan City, Guangdong Province, China, with a useful life of 35 years. The purpose of the land is for the construction of production plants, offices, and employee
dormitories. According to local laws and regulations, the company is entitled to the right to allocate, transfer, lease and mortgage the land use rights within the useful life.
KENSTAR acquired the right to use land in Bago, Yangon, Myanmar, in 2016 with a validity period of 30 years. The land purpose is for the construction of production plants, offices, and employee dormitories. Due to Myanmar's land policy restrictions, it was not possible to register the land in the name of KENSTAR. Therefore, the land use rights were registered in the name of a local employee, with whom a land registration contract was signed. The land use rights may not be bought, sold, transferred, or encumbered without consent.
The Group also leases certain land and buildings for plants and offices, with lease terms of 1 to 10 years. Upon termination of the lease terms, there are no preferential rights to purchase the leased property; and it is agreed that the subject of the lease, in whole or in part, may not be subleased or transferred without the consent of the lessor.

The fair value of the investment property was not appraised by an independent appraiser but was determined by management of the Company reference to the most recent transaction prices of similar properties in the vicinity.

19. Retirement benefit plans
(1) Defined contribution plan
The Company and RAYSTAR Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, an entity makes monthly contributions to employees' individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.
Employees of subsidiaries in mainland China participate in social insurance plans managed and coordinated by local government agencies. The pension plan is a defined-contribution plan that pays the pension insurance premiums for the government-managed social insurance plan.
FAIRLINK, WINBEST, and WINCAELUM are holding companies and therefore do not have pension plans and systems in place.
KENSTAR, WINSTAR USA, and WINSTAR GER do not have pension plans and systems in place.
(2) Defined benefit plan
The defined benefit plans adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Act is operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Company contribute amounts equal to 2% of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee's name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the "Bureau"); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.
The amounts included in the consolidated balance sheets in respect of the Group's defined benefit plans were as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Present value of defined benefit obligation | $ 20,145 | $ 19,994 |
| Fair value of plan assets | ( 11,010 ) | ( 10,874 ) |
| Net defined benefit liabilities | $ 9,135 | $ 9,120 |
Movements in net defined benefit liabilities were as follows:

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Law, the Company is exposed to the following risks:
-
Investment risk: The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
-
Interest rate risk: A decrease in government bond and corporate bond interest rates would increase the present value of defined benefit obligations, while the return on debt investments of plan assets would also increase accordingly and the impact of these two factors on net
defined benefit liabilities would have a partial offsetting effect.
- Salary risk: The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries.
The significant assumptions on the valuation date were as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | 1.38% | 1.50% |
| Expected growth rate of salary | 3.25% | 3.25% |
If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation will increase (decrease) as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | ||
| 0.25% increase | ($ 469) | ($ 495) |
| 0.25% decrease | $ 483 | $ 511 |
| Expected growth rate of salary | ||
| 0.25% increase | $ 466 | $ 494 |
| 0.25% decrease | ($ 455) | ($ 481) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| The expected contributions to the plan for the next year | $ 482 | $ 523 |
| The average duration of the defined benefit obligation | 9.4 years | 10.1 years |

Note : Such capital reserves can be used to make up for losses, and can also be used for issuance of cash dividends or transfers of share capital when the Company has no losses. However, transfers of share capital are limited to a certain percentage of paid-in share capital each year.
(3) Retained earnings and dividend policy
In accordance with the dividend policy stipulated by the Company's Articles of Incorporation, if there is a surplus in the annual final accounts, taxes should first be paid and accumulated losses covered. Thereupon, another 10% should be set aside as legal reserve. However, this does not apply when legal has reached the amount of paid-in capital. The remainder shall be set aside or reversed as special reserve in accordance with laws and regulations. If there is any remaining balance, then it shall be combined with cumulative Unappropriated earnings and an earnings distribution proposal drafted by the Board of Directors for submission to the shareholders' meeting for resolution on the distribution of shareholder dividends.
The Company's dividend policy adopts the principle of stability and balance, and takes into account factors such as profitability, financial structure, and future development. The Company appropriates 10% to 90% of the distributable earnings of the current year as dividends, of which cash dividends shall not be less than 10% of the total dividend. If the dividend per share is less than NTD 0.1, the Board of Directors may propose to withhold the distribution, and the resolution will be submitted to the shareholders' meeting.
The legal reserve may be used to offset deficits. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company's paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.
Items referred to under Rule No. 1090150022 issued by the FSC and the directive titled "Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRSs" should be appropriated to or reversed from a special reserve by the Company. Any subsequent reversal of deductions from stockholders' equity may be distributed as earnings to the extent of the reversal.
- 49 -
The appropriations of earnings for 2024 and 2023 were approved in the shareholders' meetings in June 2025 and May 2024, respectively, were as follows:
| 2024 | 2023 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Legal reserve | $ | 3,150 | $ | 8,278 |
| Special reserve | ( | 12,703 ) | 11,785 | |
| Cash dividends | 18,900 | 70,875 | ||
| Cash dividends per share (NTD) | 0.28 | 1.05 |
At the Board of Directors' meeting in March 2026, the Company proposed not to distribute dividends for 2025 due to the net loss after tax for the year.
The appropriation of earnings for 2025 are subject to the resolution of the shareholders in their meeting to be held in June 2026.
(4) Special reserve
When the Company initially adopted IFRS accounting standards, the amount of NTD 3,526 thousand transferred from accumulated translation adjustments to retained earnings was set aside as a special reserve of the same amount. When the relevant assets are subsequently used, disposed of, or reclassified, the assigned surplus must be reversed in proportion to the original provision for special reserve.

(5) Income tax assessments
The income tax returns of the Company and RAYSTAR of the Group's subsidiaries located in Taiwan through 2023 have been assessed by the tax authorities.
- Earnings (loss) per share
| Net profit (loss) | Number of shares (in thousand shares) | Earnings (loss) per share (NTD) | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2025 | |||
| Basic loss per share | |||
| Net loss attributable to owners of the parent company | ( $ 97,462 ) | 67,500 | ( $ 1.44 ) |
| 2024 | |||
| Basic earnings per share | |||
| Net profit attributable to owners of the parent company | $ 31,709 | 67,500 | $ 0.47 |
| Effect of potentially dilutive ordinary shares | |||
| Compensation of employees | - | 108 | |
| Diluted earnings per share | |||
| Net profit for the period attributable to owners of the Company plus effect of potentially dilutive ordinary shares | $ 31,709 | 67,608 | $ 0.47 |
The Group may settle compensation or bonuses paid to employees in cash or shares; therefore, the Group assumes that the entire amount of the compensation or bonus will be settled in shares, and the resulting potential shares will be included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year. As the Company reported a net loss after tax for the year 2025, the potential ordinary shares arising from employee compensation would have an anti-dilutive effect and have therefore been excluded from the calculation of earnings per share.
25. Cash flow information

Capital management
The Group conducts capital management to ensure that each company in the Group can continue to operate and maximize shareholder returns by optimizing the balance of debt and equity.
The capital structure of the Group consists of the net debt (i.e., borrowings less cash and cash equivalents) and equity (i.e., ordinary share capital, capital reserves, retained earnings, and total other equity interest) of the Group.
The senior management of the Group regularly re-examines the capital structure of the Group, including consideration of the cost of each type of capital and the associated risk. Based on recommendations of the key management, the Group may balance its overall capital structure by the means of dividend payment, issuance of new shares, shares buyback, issuance of new debts or repayment of existing debts.

(1) Information on fair value
- Financial instruments measured at fair value - Financial instruments measured at fair value on a recurring basis
Fair value hierarchy
The following table provides an analysis of the financial instruments measured at fair value after initial recognition. The measurement is based on the extent to which the fair value is observable, and is divided into Levels 1 to 3.
| Fair value hierarchy | Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2025 | ||||
| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income | ||||
| Domestic listed stocks | $ 18,600 | $ - | $ - | $ 18,600 |
| December 31, 2024 | ||||
| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income | ||||
| Domestic listed stocks | $ 8,884 | $ - | $ - | $ 8,884 |
The Group made no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 measurements at fair value in 2025 and 2024.
- Financial instruments not measured at fair value
The fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities is determined by the following means:
(1) For total investment in financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at amortized cost, notes receivable and payable, other receivables, refundable deposits, short-term borrowings, other payables, and refundable deposits where date of expiration or future payment price is similar to the carrying amount, the carrying amount on the consolidated balance sheet date is used to estimate the fair value.
(2) The fair value of long-term borrowings (including maturities within one year) is estimated based on the discounted value of their future cash flows. The Group's long-term borrowings are at floating interest rates, and the carrying value constitutes the fair value.
(2) Categories of financial instruments
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Financial asset | ||
| At amortized cost (Note 1) | $ 869,596 | $ 1,078,790 |
| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income | 18,600 | 8,884 |
| Financial liability | ||
| At amortized cost (Note 2) | 971,350 | 818,794 |
Note 1: Balances include financial assets measured at cost after amortization such as cash and cash equivalents, financial assets measured at cost after amortization, notes receivable and accounts receivable, other receivables, and refundable deposits.
Note 2: Balances constitute measured at amortized cost including short-term borrowings, notes payable, trade payable, other payables, and long-term borrowings.
(3) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group's primary financial instruments include cash and cash equivalents, equity investments, accounts receivable, trade payable,
- 58 -
borrowings, and lease liabilities. The Financial Management Department of the Group provides services for each business unit, coordinates domestic and international financial market operations, and monitors and manages financial risks related to the operations of the Group by analyzing internal risk reports according to the degree and breadth of the risk. Such risks include market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk.
- Market risk
The main financial risks borne by the Group due to its operating activities are the risk from foreign currency exchange rate change and interest rate change risk.
There has been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks and the management and measurement of such exposures.
(1) Foreign currency risk
The Group engages in sales and purchase transactions denominated in foreign currencies, resulting in exchange rate risk.
The carrying amounts of the Group's monetary assets and monetary liabilities denominated in nonfunctional currencies (including the monetary items denominated in nonfunctional currencies eliminated in the consolidated financial statements) on the balance sheet date are provided in Note 31.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group was mainly exposed to the risk of exchange rate fluctuation of the US Dollar.
The following table shows a sensitivity analysis of the Group when the exchange rate of the functional currency changes by 1% against each relevant foreign currency. 1% is the sensitivity ratio used by the Group to report exchange rate risk to senior management, and also represents the management's assessment of the reasonable possible range of changes in foreign currency exchange rate. The sensitivity analysis includes only the outstanding monetary items in foreign currencies, and the
- 59 -
translation at the end of the year is adjusted based on a 1% change in exchange rates. The positive numbers in the table below represent the amounts that would increase (decrease) net profit (loss) before tax when the functional currency appreciates by 1% relative to each relevant currency; when the functional currency depreciates by 1% against each relevant foreign currency, its impact on net profit (loss) before tax will be a negative number of the same amount. The impact of exchange rate changes on profit and loss is as follows:
| Currency type | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| USD | $ 3,769 | $ 6,820 |
Management believes that the sensitivity analysis cannot represent the inherent risk of exchange rates, as the exposure to the foreign currency risk at the balance sheet date cannot reflect the risk exposure during the year. The Group's increased sensitivity to exchange rate fluctuations this year was primarily due to a rise in accounts receivable denominated in US dollars.
(2) Interest rate risk
The Group's interest rate risk mainly arises from fixed and floating interest rate bank deposits, cash equivalents, financial assets measured at cost after amortization, bank loans, and lease liabilities, which generate interest rate exposure.
The carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Fair value interest rate risk | ||
| Financial asset | $ 104,132 | $ 79,179 |
| Financial liability | 166,170 | 234,149 |
| Cash flow interest rate risk | ||
| Financial asset | 477,299 | 718,863 |
| Financial liability | 648,910 | 485,844 |
- 61 -
Sensitivity analysis
The following sensitivity analysis is based on the interest rate risk exposure of the non-derivative instruments at the balance sheet date. The rate of change used in the Group's internal reporting of interest rates to senior management is 25 basis points, which also represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible range of interest rates.
If interest rates had changed, and all other variables remained unchanged, the Group's net profit (loss) before tax for 2025 and 2024 would have changed by NTD (429) thousand and NTD 583 thousand, respectively. The Group's exposure to interest rate risk increased during the current period, primarily attributable to an increase in floating-rate bank loans.
- Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty defaults in its contractual obligations and causes financial losses to the Group. As of the balance sheet date, the maximum credit risk exposures of the Group that may cause financial losses due to the performance failure of the counterparty and the financial guarantee provided by the Group are mainly derived from the book value of financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheet.
The Group uses other publicly available financial information and mutual transaction records to rate major customers, continuously monitors credit risk exposure and the credit ratings of counterparties, and distributes the total transaction amount among customers with qualified credit ratings. Credit risk is controlled through the counterparty's credit limits that are reviewed and approved by the management each year.
- Liquidity risk
The Group has established an appropriate liquidity risk management framework in order to respond to the needs for funding and liquidity management in the short, medium and long term. The Group manages liquidity risk by maintaining bank financing facilities, continuously monitoring expected and actual cash flows, and matching the maturities of financial assets and liabilities. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the unused bank facilities of the Group totaled NTD 603,651 thousand and NTD 471,177 thousand, respectively.
The following liquidity and interest rate risk tables illustrate the remaining contractual maturities of the Group's non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables are based on the earliest possible dates on which the Group may be required to repay and are prepared based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities, which includes cash flows of interest and principal.
| Non derivative financial liabilities | Within 3 months | 3 months~1 year | 1~5 years | 5~10 years |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2025 | ||||
| Non-interest bearing liabilities | $ 322,440 | $ - | $ - | $ - |
| Lease liabilities | 9,848 | 29,545 | 92,240 | 61,253 |

(4) Transfers of financial assets
In 2025 and 2024, the Group transferred some of the bank's acceptance receivables that are not receivable by banks with higher credit ratings in mainland China to the supplier for payment amounts of NTD 4,394 thousand and NTD 3,918 thousand, respectively. According to the contract, if the bank's acceptance receivable cannot be collected upon expiry, the transferee has the right to request the Group to pay the outstanding balance. Therefore, the Group did not transfer the material risk and return of the bank
- 62 -
acceptance receivable, and the Group continued to recognize the bank acceptance receivable.
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying amounts of transferred bank acceptance notes receivable that had not been derecognized were NTD 382 thousand and NTD 238 thousand, respectively; and the carrying amounts of relevant liabilities were NTD 382 thousand and NTD 238 thousand, respectively.
In 2025 and 2024, the Group endorsed and transferred some of the bank acceptance notes receivable accepted by banks with higher credit ratings in mainland China to suppliers to pay trade payable. As substantially all the risks and rewards of these notes have been transferred, the Group excludes the transferred bank acceptance notes receivable and corresponding trade payable. However, if the bank acceptances that have been derecognized are not cashed when they are due, the supplier still has the right to require the Group to pay off, so the Group continues to participate in these notes.
The maximum loss exposure amount for the Group's continued participation in the delisted bank acceptance notes is the face amount of the bank acceptance notes that have been transferred but have not yet matured. As of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, they were NTD 5,615 thousand and NTD 1,492 thousand, respectively. The respective notes will mature within 1 to 4 months after the balance sheet dates. Considering the credit risk of the derecognized bank acceptances, the Group has assessed that the fair value of its continuing participation is not material.
In 2025 and 2024, the Group did not recognize any gain or loss on the transfer of bank acceptances receivable, and no profit or loss has been recognized during the current year and accumulated by these notes from their continued participation.
