One. Letter to shareholders

Dear Shareholders:

First of all, I would like to thank you for attending the 2023 Shareholders’ Meeting, and also for your continued support. On behalf of the Company, we would like to express our sincerest gratitude to our shareholders.

In 2023, as customer purchases gradually returned to normal levels due to the stabilization of ocean freight, the AM sales increased significantly and benefited from the expansion of AM parts for remuneration by State Farm, the largest property and casualty insurance provider in North America. Thus, the overall revenue in 2023 increased by NT$205.6 million compared with 2022. Looking ahead to 2024, in the winter of North America, the demand for collision parts will increase, and the peak season of AM shipments in the prior quarter will continue in the first quarter of 2024. In addition, the U.S. car insurance company, State Farm, has expanded the use of AM parts, leading to a positive change in the AM market with long-term benefits. In addition, due to the strikes in the U.S. auto market, consumers may turn to the used car market, creating more opportunities in the car parts and components market. All of the above will be momentum for the AM business’s performance growth in 2024.

I. 2023 Business Results

  • (I) 2023 Results of the business plan

The Company’s 2023 net revenue was NT$2,051,209 thousand. Net income before tax was NT$544,210 thousand. Net profit after tax was NT$435,661 thousand, and EPS after tax was NT$5.88.

(III) Research and development

Actively research and develop various equipment related to process automation to gradually reduce the labor demand and increase the stability of the product quality at the production lines.

The Company is a professional manufacturer of automotive plastic parts and manufactures products of stable quality. Quality control, physical, and chemical properties such as impact resistance and tensile strength of our products are the key to our high-quality products. Our

1

products must be easily assembled, able to withstand various weather conditions, and pass internationally recognized tests. Therefore, the quality and performance of our products are similar to those of the original manufacturers.

We continue to improve our automated processes to reduce labor costs and mitigate the impacts of low birth rates. Through equipment optimization and the introduction of new processes, we expect to be able to increase capacity and improve production yields. According to our short- and medium-term plans, we will be purchasing new equipment and upgrading existing equipment in our factories to equip with automation, IOT, big data collection, and AI, so as to equip our production line with intelligent technology and functions, moving forwards to Industry 4.0 in the next 3 years.

(I) External competition

At present, there are many domestic manufacturers engaged in vehicle connection, and they compete with each other to cause price pressure in the market. In the face of external competition, the Company continues to develop new product molds, shorten the mold development time, gain market opportunities, and increase the number of products that can be certified in order to increase product market share and profit.

  • (II) Regulatory environment, environment, safety, and health

In order to maintain global competitiveness, the manufacturer will persist in funding industry research and development along with advancements in production technology. Taiwan is a significant global supplier of auto parts to consumers. After the pandemic, the auto parts market reached its lowest point. The comprehensiveness of Y.C.C's product line has given it a competitive edge and laid the foundation for the enterprise group's long-term operations and expansion. To support international competitiveness, the manufacturer shall continue to invest in industry R&D, as well as production technology improvements. Taiwan is a major supplier of auto parts to customers around the world. The auto parts market bottomed out following the pandemic. Y.C.C has gained a competitive advantage through the completeness of its products, laying the groundwork for the enterprise group's long-term operations and growth.

The operations and arrangements of the corporate governance system must ensure that the Board of Directors exercises its powers in accordance with applicable laws and regulations, the Articles of Incorporation, and shareholder resolutions.

The structure of the Company's Board of Directors should be based on the scale of the company's business development and the shareholdings of major shareholders, as well as the practical operational needs. An appropriate number of director seats consisting of more than five individuals has been determined.

The board composition should consider diversity and develop an appropriate diversity policy based on its own operations, operating type, and development requirements. It is recommended to include, but not be limited to, the following standards in two aspects:

  • (I) Basic conditions and values: gender, age, nationality and culture, etc.

  • (II) Professional knowledge and skills: Professional background (such as law, accounting, industry, finance, marketing, or technology), professional skills, and industry experience.

Members of the Board of Directors must demonstrate general knowledge, skills, and literacy in order to carry out their duties. To achieve the ideal goal of corporate governance, the entire Board of Directors should demonstrate the following competencies:

  • (I) Operational judgement competence.

  • (II) Accounting and financial analysis competence.

  • (III) Business management competence.

  • (IV) Crisis management competence.

  • (V) Industry knowledge.

  • (VI) Vision and insight on international markets.

  • (VII) Leadership.

  • (VIII) Decision-making competence.

(VI) Company's dividend policy and implementation thereof

  1. The dividend policy adopted in the company's articles of incorporation Articles 26 and 27 of the Company's Articles of Incorporation established the following method for distributing employee and director remunerations and dividends: If the Company is profitable, it will pay out between 1% and 3% in remuneration to staff members. Staff members of controlling and subsidiary companies who satisfy certain requirements will receive shares or cash, as decided by the Board of Directors. The Company may permit the Board of Directors to set aside a maximum of 3% of the previously mentioned profit for the directors' and supervisors' remuneration. The remuneration to employees, directors, and supervisors shall be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting for review.

  2. However, profits must first be taken to offset cumulative losses, if any, then used for the appropriation of remuneration to employees, directors, and supervisors based on the preceding percentage.

According to the Company's articles of incorporation, net earnings should be used first to offset any prior-year deficits and pay any income taxes. Of the remaining balance, 10% is to be appropriated as a legal reserve, but only if the accumulated legal capital reserve equals the Company's paid-in capital. The amounts are then appropriated or reversed to special reserves in accordance with applicable laws and regulations. The Board will decide how to distribute the remaining profit, if any, as well as the accumulated undistributed surplus. If the dividend is distributed in the form of new shares, the Shareholders' Meeting must resolve the matter prior to its distribution.

The Company may distribute cash dividends and Representativeort to the Shareholders’ Meeting, after such matter has been approved by at least half of the Directors in attendance in a Board meeting attended by no less than two-thirds of all Board members.

When distributing dividends, the Company takes into consideration factors including future development plans, investment environment, capital needs and domestic and foreign competitions, and shareholders’ returns. The shareholders’ dividends shall be no less than 40% of that year’s distributable amount, with cash dividends accounting for more than 20%. Such matter is approved by the Board of Directors and submitted to the Shareholders’ Meeting for resolution.

  1. The dividend distributions proposed at the most recent shareholders' meeting The 2023 earning distribution proposal was resolved and approved by the Board on March 7, 2024, as follows:

  • Current status and development of the industry

The Taiwan Transportation Vehicle Manufacturers Association (“TTVMA”) Representativeorts that there are currently 2,800 auto parts manufacturers in Taiwan that are involved in the production and sale of related products. Of these, approximately 300 are suppliers of original equipment manufacturers (OE parts) for both domestic and international markets, but many of them also manufacture aftermarket products (AM) for export. Year after year, Taiwan's auto parts manufacturing industry has seen consistent revenue growth. It experienced its first decline of 7.72% in 2009 as a result of the global financial crisis. It made a huge comeback in 2010. There was a notable upturn in 2010. Because of Taiwan's small automotive market, Taiwanese manufacturers of parts and components have always regarded expanding their export market as their primary business goal. The export value of automotive parts has been growing annually since they became more competitive, even in the face of fluctuations in the domestic finished vehicle sales market. A new peak of NT$2373 billion was reached by the export value in 2022, growing by roughly 7.47%. The export value from January to December in 2023 was NT$2,254, a decrease of 5.01%, despite the recession and high inventory levels.

Sources: import and export statistics of customs, compiled by the TTVMA.

According to Industrial Technology Research Institute statistics, Taiwan's production value of exported AM crash parts and components accounts for 60-70% of the global total. AM crash parts and components such as bumpers, sheet metal, rearview mirrors, and

68

rubber/plastic parts make up 85% of the global market, with bumpers accounting for up to 90%.

Taiwanese AM parts manufacturers are primarily export-oriented. Taiwanese AM parts, particularly crash parts (the most frequently Representativelaced items following a car accident, such as front and rear bumpers, lights, radiator grilles, doors and hoods, and other sheet metal parts), are well accepted in the international market.

The Company's main products, front and rear bumpers, and radiator grilles, are the most easily damaged after a car accident. Before the US economy fully recovers, consumers are unwilling to Representativelace more expensive parts from the original manufacturers, thereby benefiting the automotive after-sales maintenance market.

Some of our products have CAPA (Certified Automotive Parts Association) certification and adhere to strict quality standards, making them more competitive.

Taiwan's auto parts industry has a well-developed supply chain, with the majority of companies being small and medium-sized. The industry benefits from small quantities, a wide range of products, and flexible manufacturing. In recent years, manufacturers have continued to invest in R&D, improve production processes, and implement smart manufacturing. They have international competitiveness and the potential to enter the supply chain of global automakers. Manufacturers excel at precision machining and rubber/plastic injection molding, and a sizable proportion of them focus on the aftermarket for parts. They enter the international automakers' OEM system by investing overseas in factory establishment, network construction, marketing bases, international technical cooperation, and joint ventures to position themselves in the global market. Taiwanese manufacturers have achieved significant success in terms of after-sales service and OEM.

Even though 2023 will see a slower pace of consumption due to the effects of global inflation and 2022 will see the greatest export performance ever, 2023 will still see a recordbreaking export value of over US$430 billion, the first time in history that this has happened for three years in a row. Taiwan's exports to the United States hit a record high in 2023, coming in at US$8.49 billion in December, up 49.7% from the previous year. More than 60% of exports to Europe and Japan, more than 50% to Taiwan, and the United States saw a doubling of export growth overall (+128%). The export to the United States and Latin America grew to 17.6% in comparison to the same period the previous year. When it comes to after-sale service parts, Taiwan is a leader in offering lights and bumpers. The majority of Taiwan's exported crash parts are certified by the US CAPA, and the number of US-imported automobiles is constantly growing. Therefore, sales to the United States continue to grow. Following the U.S.-China trade war, although the pandemic has been contained in China, issues such as labor wages and environmental protection regulations remain, prompting the auto parts industry to withdraw production bases from China, and overall supply chain restructuring will prioritize regionalization and localization.

  1. Development trends of products

  2. (1) To meet the development trend of increasing public demand for automobile safety standards, the Company has introduced a specialty digital control welding machine, to stabilize product quality by increasing the number of bonding points between the main bodies and reinforcing components.

  3. (2) In line with global environmental protection trends, our products' main raw materials are PP (environmental label No. 5) and ABS (environmental label No. 7). These two materials can be recycled and reused, avoiding the use of non-recyclable raw materials that harm the environment.

  4. Competition

Taiwan is currently the largest exporter in the AM market. Because the Company's flexible production outperforms its competitors, it actively develops product completeness and strives to meet customer satisfaction at all times. Quality, delivery, and cost control are also important indicators of the Company's efforts, and it will continue to increase the number of product certifications to gain a competitive advantage. Overview of R&D

The Company is a professional manufacturer of plastic automotive parts, producing products of consistent quality. Quality control is ensured, as are the physical and chemical properties of the products, such as impact resistance and tensile strength, which are essential to ensure product quality. Our products must not only fulfill the basic functions of assembled vehicles but also withstand various weather conditions and pass internationally recognized tests. This ensures that the quality and performance of our products are comparable to those of the original manufacturers. In addition, we continue to improve our automated process in order to reduce labor costs and mitigate the effects of the low birth rate. Capacity and

69

production yields are expected to increase due to equipment optimization and the implementation of new processes. In accordance with its short- and medium-term plans, the factory will invest in new equipment and update existing equipment to incorporate automation, IoT, big data collection, and AI. Industry 4.0 will be achieved by incorporating intelligent features and technology into manufacturing lines. In October 2019, the R&D center was officially established.

Currently, an automatic storage system has been implemented to save labor and space, increase the coverage of production line automation, improve process efficiency, stabilize quality, and effectively control raw material consumption.

  1. Technical levels of operated businesses

The company is a professional auto parts manufacturer. Our products not only perform the basic functions of assembled vehicles, but they also meet the requirements to withstand various weather conditions. Therefore, in addition to meeting the quality requirements of ISO, its physical properties such as impact resistance and tensile strength are also important. As a result, the company is actively introducing the CAPA certification system for products. All CAPA-certified products must pass through CAPA-approved laboratories. Their physical properties are comparable to those of the original manufacturers after a series of tests conducted in accordance with internationally recognized ASTM testing methods. In addition, test items approved by TAF are available, such as polymer and composite materials, tensile testing, impact testing, plastic electroplating film thickness, tensile testing, impact testing. Approved items continue to be added in succession.

  4. (3) Import mold flow analysis to improve the mold mechanism and reduce molding time. (4) Continue to increase the number of CAPA certifications.

  5. Research on future development policies:

  6. (1) The most recent computer-aided technology has been integrated into the mold development process to accelerate the mold-making process and enable the rapid release of products to the market in order to capitalize on the best financial and business opportunities.

  7. (2) The innovation of product raw material formula takes the core value of eco-friendliness, and the Company is committed to researching and developing new materials that meet high environmental protection requirements and high performance, in order to obtain the greatest benefits of products in terms of innovative production and manufacturing.

  8. (3) To address the labor shortage caused by declining domestic birth rates, production lines are fully automated, reducing the demand for workforce in the early stages while producing high-efficiency and high-quality products.

  9. (4) In order to continuously optimize the production process and product quality, lower production costs, and improve product quality, production management's internal efficiency is reinforced through ongoing internal improvement processes.

  10. (5) The laboratory was established to conduct immediate quality monitoring of the physical properties of the product body, such as impact resistance and tensile strength, as well as related chemical properties. This allowed for timely quality monitoring, while quality improvement activities were carried out with efficient production processes. The company is actively planning the international certification of ISO 17025 for the internal laboratory in order to increase the credibility of its various quality data.

2. Market share

According to the statistics of the Customs Administration, the total export value of auto parts - bumpers and the parts thereof in 2022 and 2023 were NT$9,797,076 thousand and NT$11,685,251 thousand. Based on the figures, the Company's share in the Taiwanese export market was about 7.75% and 7.37% during the same period.

3. Demand and supply conditions for the market in the future, and the growth potential

As the demands for automobiles in emerging markets, such as China, India, Brazil, Russia, and ASEAN have been increasing year by year, the market scale has very promising prospects of development in emerging regions. It is mentioned in the article “View the Development of Auto AM from the Sheet Metal Structure Parts” published in the journal, Mechanical Industry, issue 280, that roughly 40% of total expenses spent by the owner of a car, from purchase to scrapping, are used for after-service. Upon the end of the warranty, any car accident goes to the service markets of maintenance and insurance companies. The auto parts required for the aftermarket inherently grows simultaneously. It is obvious that in the future, with more than 1 billion vehicle parked around the world, the AM market will create a huge business opportunity. The aging of the vehicle population will continue, and opportunities for after-sales maintenance will increase, because the supply of new cars is limited and demand is also under pressure.

In an effort to find suppliers of premium aftermarket parts, insurers have successively established the CAPA (Certified Automotive Parts Association). Meanwhile, they have increased the insurance premium rate for specific OEM parts by adopting differential rates and adding instructions to the contracts explaining the insurance claim process. This approach will lead to an increase in demand for certified AM parts from insurers, providing new opportunities for the future growth of the AM market.

With favorable conditions such as flexible production, diversified development, and industrial clustering effects, Taiwan's auto parts industry continues to hold a competitive edge that other nations cannot match. Regardless of market share or customer satisfaction, the company has already established a position among its peers after 38 years of growth and effort. In the future, we will continue to develop new product items, obtain product certifications from various countries, and actively expand potential markets, to strive to move towards the goal of

72

global positioning and marketing, as well as increasing market share.

Demands for Taiwanese manufacturers of AM automotive parts and components have been increasing as they have both quality certifications and reasonable prices. Compared to the continued sluggishness in the consumption power of the new car market, which is unfavorable to Taiwanese OEMs and OES manufacturers of related auto parts, the number of existing cars retained in the US continues to grow, which is, in turn, beneficial to Taiwanese manufacturers in the supply chain of related parts of the automotive aftermarket (AM).

PwC released the “Digital Auto Representativeort 2020: Navigating through a postpandemic world”, which estimated in a survey, that the number of vehicles parked in the EU (the number of cars registered locally) will decline slightly (an estimated is decreased by 0.5% per year) as of 2035. In 2020, the EU was still the market with the largest number of vehicles parked in the world (302 million units). By 2035, the number of vehicles parked in the EU will drop to 281 million, after 350 million in China (estimated annual growth of 3.9%) and 332 million (annual growth of 1.1%) in the US. The momentum driving the growth of the total number of vehicles in the US and China include the demand for economic liquidity after the outbreak of the pandemic, the tendency of enterprises to build new fleets with high annual mileage, and the Representativelacement of old cars with new ones. Hsu, Chien-Yen, CPA of PwC Taiwan for the automotive and parts industry services, analyzed that when the direction of vehicle development is gradually inclining to smart applications and electric vehicles, Taiwan will benefit from the advantages of the information and communication industry and with its unique advantages established in the automotive electronic components, to become a key player in the international automobile manufacturing supply chain. According to the data of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, Taiwan's vehicle industry's total production value has increased steadily, reaching NT$836.6 billion between January and December 2023. This Representativeresents a 9.63% decrease in the industry's overall production value, or roughly

4.75% of Taiwan's manufacturing sector, making it an industry of great significance in Taiwan.

Please explain the reasons for changes in the financial ratios in the most recent two years. (Analysis is not required
if the increase or decrease is less than 20%.)
1.
The increase in cash flow ratio is primary due to the subsidiary's Representativeayment of short-term bank
borrowings in 2023, which resulted in a reduction in current liabilities.
2.
The increase in interest coverage ratio was primarily due to a reduction in the Group's interest expenses.
3.
The decrease in the operating leverage ratio compared to the same period last year was primarily attributed to
the absence of port traffic jams or liquidated positions in 2023. This allowed customer order volumes to gradually
return to the same level, resulting in an increase in gross profit. Additionally, overall operating expenses decreased
as customer orders gradually recovered to their previous levels.

Note: The following formulas for the calculation of the financial ratios shall be listed below this table in the annual Representativeort:

85

  1. Financial structure

    • (1) Debt to assets ratio = total liabilities/total assets.
  2. (2) Ratio of long-term capital to property, factory, and equipment = (total equity + non-current liabilities)/net

  3. property, factory, and equipment.

  4. Solvency

    • (1) Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities.

    • (2) Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory - pRepresentativeaid expenses)/current liabilities.

    • (3) Interest coverage ratio = earnings before tax and interest expense/current interest expense.

  5. Operating performance

    • (1) Accounts receivable (including accounts receivable and notes receivable resulting from business activities) turnover = net sales/average accounts receivable balance (which includes accounts receivable and notes receivable resulting from business activities).

    • (2) Average collection days = 365/accounts receivable turnover.

    • (3) Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold/average inventory.

    • (4) Accounts payable (including accounts payable and notes payable resulting from business activities) turnover = cost of goods sold/average accounts payable balance (including accounts payable and notes payable resulting from business activities).

    • (5) Average days in sales = 365/inventory turnover.

    • (6) Property, factory, and equipment turnover = net sales/average net property, factory, and equipment.

    • (7) Total asset turnover = net sales/average total assets.

  6. Profitability

    • (1) Return on total assets = (net income + interest expense * (1 - effective tax rate))/average total assets.

    • (2) Return on equity = net income after tax/average net equity.

    • (3) Net profit margin = net income after tax/net sales.

  7. (4) Earnings per share = (net income after tax - preferred share dividends)/weighted average number of shares

  8. outstanding (Note 4).

  9. Cash flow

    • (1) Cash flow ratio = net cash flow from operating activities/current liabilities.

    • (2) Net cash flow adequacy ratio = 5-year sum of net cash flow from operating activities/5- year sum of (capital expenditures + increases in inventory + cash dividends).

    • (3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (cash from operating activities - cash dividends)/(gross property, factory, and equipment + long-term investments + other non-current assets + working capital (Note 5).

  10. Leverage:

    • (1) Operating leverage = (net operating revenue – variable operating costs and expenses)/operating income (Note 6).

    • (2) Financial leverage = operating income/(operating income – interest expense).

  11. Note 4: The following should be given particular consideration when calculating earnings per share by the above equation:

  12. The weighted average quantity of outstanding common shares shall be taken as the standard, not the quantity of outstanding shares at the end of the year.

  13. If there is any cash capital increase or treasury stock transaction, take the circulation periods into account when calculating the weighted average quantity of outstanding shares.

  14. If there is any capitalization of retained earnings or capital surplus, the annual and semi-annual earnings per share of past years shall be retrospectively adjusted pro rata to the size of the capital increase, without considering the issuance period of the capital increase.

  15. If the preferred shares are non-convertible cumulative preferred shares, the dividend for the fiscal year (whether it has been distributed or not) shall be deducted from the net income after tax or added to the net loss after tax. If the preferred shares are non-cumulative, the preferred share dividend will be deducted from net income after tax if there is any, and no adjustment will be made if there is a loss.

  16. Note 5: The following should be given particular consideration when performing cash flow analysis calculations:

  17. Net cash flow from operating activities refers to the net cash inflow from operating activities in the cash flow statement.

  18. Capital expenditures refer to the annual cash outflow used in capital investment.

  19. Increase in inventory is counted only when the balance at the end of the period is greater than the balance at the beginning of the period. If the inventory has decreased at the end of the year, it is counted as zero.

  20. Cash dividends include the cash dividends of common shares and preferred shares.

  21. The total dollar amount of property, factory, and equipment before deducting accumulated depreciation is referred to as gross property, factory, and equipment.

  22. Note 6: The issuer shall categorize the operating costs and operating expenses into fixed ones and variable ones in accordance with their properties. If the categorization is subject to estimation or subjective judgment, attention shall be paid to ensure that it is done rationally and consistently.

  23. Note 7: If the Company’s shares have no par value or the par value per share is not NT$10, the paid-in capital involved in the calculation of the above ratio shall be Representativelaced by the equity attributable to owners of the parent company on the balance sheet.

Please explain the reasons for changes in the financial ratios in the most recent two years. (Analysis is
not required if the increase or decrease is less than 20%.)
1. The cash reinvestment ratio fell compared to the same period last year, owing primarily to the
distribution of more cash dividends this year than the previous year, as well as a decrease in net cash
flow from operating activities due to a large purchase of raw materials at a low point and an increase in
inventory.
2. The decrease in operating leverage ratio compared to the same period last year was primarily due to
the absence of port traffic jams or liquidated positions in 2023, which allowed customer order volume to
graduallyreturn to the same level,resultingin an increase ingrossprofit.

87

Note: The following formulas for the calculation of the financial ratios shall be listed below this table in the annual Representativeort:

  1. Financial structure

  2. (1) Debt to assets ratio = total liabilities/total assets.

  3. (2) Ratio of long-term capital to property, factory, and equipment = (total equity + non-current liabilities)/net

  4. property, factory, and equipment.

  5. Solvency

  6. (1) Current ratio = current assets/current liabilities.

  7. (2) Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory - pRepresentativeaid expenses)/current liabilities.

(3) Interest coverage ratio = earnings before tax and interest expense/current interest expense.

3. Operating performance

(1) Accounts receivable (including accounts receivable and notes receivable resulting from business activities) turnover = net sales/average accounts receivable balance (which includes accounts receivable and notes receivable resulting from business activities).

  • (2) Average collection days = 365/accounts receivable turnover.

  • (3) Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold/average inventory.

(4) Accounts payable (including accounts payable and notes payable resulting from business activities) turnover = cost of goods sold/average accounts payable balance (including accounts payable and notes payable resulting from business activities).

  • (5) Average days in sales = 365/inventory turnover.

(6) Property, factory, and equipment turnover = net sales/average net property, factory, and equipment.

  • (7) Total asset turnover = net sales/average total assets.

4. Profitability

(1) Return on total assets = (net income + interest expense * (1 - effective tax rate))/average total assets.

  • (2) Return on equity = net income after tax/average net equity.

  • (3) Net profit margin = net income after tax/net sales.

  • (4) Earnings per share = (net income after tax - preferred share dividends)/weighted average number of shares outstanding (Note 4).

5. Cash flow

(1) Cash flow ratio = net cash flow from operating activities/current liabilities.

  • (2) Net cash flow adequacy ratio = 5-year sum of net cash flow from operating activities/5- year sum of (capital expenditures + increases in inventory + cash dividends).

  • (3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (cash from operating activities - cash dividends)/(gross property, factory, and equipment + long-term investments +

Other non-current assets + working capital). (Note 5)

  1. Leverage:

    • (1) Operating leverage = (net operating revenue – variable operating costs and expenses)/operating income (Note 6).

    • (2) Financial leverage = operating income/(operating income – interest expense).

  2. Note 4: The following should be given particular consideration when calculating earnings per share by the above equation:

  3. The weighted average quantity of outstanding common shares shall be taken as the standard, not the quantity of outstanding shares at the end of the year.

  4. If there is any cash capital increase or treasury stock transaction, take the circulation periods into account when calculating the weighted average quantity of outstanding shares.

  5. If there is any capitalization of retained earnings or capital surplus, the annual and semi-annual earnings per share of past years shall be retrospectively adjusted pro rata to the size of the capital increase, without considering the issuance period of the capital increase.

  6. If the preferred shares are non-convertible cumulative preferred shares, the dividend for the fiscal year (whether it has been distributed or not) shall be deducted from the net income after tax or added to the net loss after tax. If the preferred shares are non-cumulative, the preferred share dividend will be deducted from net income after tax if there is any, and no adjustment will be made if there is a loss.

  7. Note 5: The following should be given particular consideration when performing cash flow analysis calculations:

  8. Net cash flow from operating activities refers to the net cash inflow from operating activities in the cash flow statement.

  9. Capital expenditures refer to the annual cash outflow used in capital investment.

  10. Increase in inventory is counted only when the balance at the end of the period is greater than the balance at the beginning of the period. If the inventory has decreased at the end of the year, it is counted as zero.

  11. Cash dividends include the cash dividends of common shares and preferred shares.

  12. The total dollar amount of property, factory, and equipment before deducting accumulated depreciation is referred to as gross property, factory, and equipment.

  13. Note 6: The issuer shall categorize the operating costs and operating expenses into fixed ones and variable ones in accordance with their properties. If the categorization is subject to estimation or subjective judgment, attention shall be paid to ensure that it is done rationally and consistently.

88

Note 7: If the Company’s shares have no par value or the par value per share is not NT$10, the paid-in capital involved in the calculation of the above ratio shall be Representativelaced by the equity attributable to owners of the parent company on the balance sheet.

Reasons and impacts of important items changed (change between two consecutive periods
reaches 20%, and the amount of change reaches NT$10 million or more) are analyzed and
described below:
1. The increase in gross profit is mainly due to the low cost of raw materials purchased in
large quantities at low points, resulting in lower costs in the current period.
2. The decrease in non-operating income and expenses year-on-year was mainly due to the
large appreciation of the USD during the year, resulting in a decrease in exchange gains
from last year.
3. Net operating income increased year-on-year mainly due to the decrease in operating costs
and the increase in expected credit impairment gain, resulting in a decrease in operating
expenses.

VI. Analysis and assessment of risks

  • (I) The Impacts of Changes in Interest and Exchange Rates and Inflation on the Company’s Profit and Loss and Future Coping Measures

  • Interest rate fluctuations

The Company's interest expenditure in 2022 and 2021 were NT$26,327 thousand and NT$17,269 thousand, respectively, accounting for 1.30% and 0.84% of the operating revenue of each year, or accounting for 4.99% and 3.17% of the pre-tax net profit, respectively. Therefore, changes in interest rates have no significant impacts on the Company. In the future, the Company will adjust the fund utilization in a timely manner depending on changes in financial interest rates, to reduce the impacts of changes in interest rates on the Company's profit and loss.

  1. Exchange rate fluctuation

The Company's foreign currency sales are mainly denominated in USD. The Company's exchange gains and losses from exchange rate changes in 2022 and 2023 were exchange losses of NT$306,502 thousand and exchange gains of NT$60,398 thousand, accounting for 170.28% and 15.03% of the annual operating profit, respectively. Therefore, changes in the exchange rate of TWD to USD have a certain degree of impacts on the Company. To cope with the risks of exchange rate changes on the Company's profit and loss, the Company will closely monitor the information related to exchange rate fluctuations, grasp exchange rate movement in real time, and adjust foreign currency assets and liabilities in a timely manner based on the global macroeconomy, exchange rates, and future capital needs, to avoid the risk of exchange rate changes and reduce the impact of exchange rate changes on the Company's profit and loss.

  1. Inflation

According to the wholesale price index and the consumer price index of December 2023 announced by the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics, Executive Yuan, the annual growth rates were 2.71%, respectively, and there has been no risk of significant inflation. The Company has not sustained any major impact due to inflation, and the Company's quotations to customers and suppliers are mostly adjusted with the market movements, hence no major impact is expected.

  • (II) The company's policy regarding high-risk investments, highly leveraged investments, loans to other parties, endorsements, guarantees, and derivatives transactions. The main reasons for the profits/losses generated thereby, and response measures to be taken in the future.

  • Based on prudent principles and pragmatic business philosophy, the Company does not engage in high-risk, high-leverage investments except for the development of its own business.

92

  1. As of the most recent year and the printing date of the annual Representativeort, every endorsement/guarantee, and loaning of funds have been announced and Representativeorted pursuant to the Regulations Governing Loaning of Funds and Making of Endorsements/Guarantees by Public Companies. In addition, the Company has the “Operational Procedures for Loaning Funds to Others, and Endorsements/Guarantees” as the basis of related operations.

  2. The main purpose of the Company's derivative trading is to avoid the risk generated by exchange rate changes, to which the foreign currency deposits are exposed, and it is handled pursuant to the Company's “Operational Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets”.

  3. (III) Research and development work to be carried out in the future, and further expenditures expected for research and development work.

  4. Future R&D plans

    • (1) Mold development for main products.

    • (2) Design and development of various appearance parts and other products.

    • (3) Integrate all production processes of soft and hard capsule products.

    • (4) Establish a laboratory and obtain TAF certification.

  5. Estimated R&D Expenditures

The amounts of the Company's estimated R&D expenditures will be allocated sequentially based on the development progress of new products and technologies. In the future, as turnover increases, annual research and development expenditures will gradually rise to support future research and development plans and increase the Company's market competitiveness. R&D expenditures are estimated to total NT$ 68 thousand in 2024.

  • (IV) Impacts of Important Domestic and International Policies and Legal Changes on the Company's Finance Businesses and Coping Measures

Apart from adhering to pertinent domestic and international laws and regulations, the company also keeps an eye on how these policies are developing both domestically and internationally, as well as any changes to them. By consulting with relevant experts, the company can quickly take appropriate action to mitigate the effects of policy changes on its operations.

  • (V) Impacts of Technological and Industrial Changes on the Company’s Finance Businesses and Coping Measures

The company is a professional auto parts manufacturer. Changes in technology have no effect on production materials or processes. In addition to continuing to develop various molds to meet market demands, the Company maintains stable but flexible financial management to meet the challenges of changing technologies and industries while maintaining a competitive advantage. Thus, changes in technology and industry have had no significant impact on the Company.

(VI) Impacts of Changes in Corporate Image on Corporate Crisis Management and Coping Measures The Company has adhered by the principle of ethical and professional operations, valuing market and product development, strengthening internal management, and prioritizing product quality and customer satisfaction. So far, no incidents that could jeopardize the corporate image have occurred.

(VII) Expected Benefits of Mergers and Acquisitions, Possible Risks, and Coping Measures: None. (VIII) Expected Benefits of Factory Expansion, Possible Risks, and Coping Measures

The Company has built warehouses for semi-finished products and finished products in order to accommodate the improvement of efficiency and production capacity, as well as enhance the overall planning and storage location, to address the issue of insufficient storage space for finished products.

To meet the company's needs for the best overall planning, new molds are developed along with an increase in molding and spraying equipment that corresponds to the processes of new products.

To meet customer demand, the Company has expanded its production lines and output, added storage space, and increased production capacity. This has resulted in a more seamless production process, bringing overall productivity and management efficiency to the forefront. (IX) Risks Associated with Purchases or Concentration of Sales and Coping Measures 1. Purchases

Formosa Chemicals & Fibre Corporation is currently the company's largest raw material supplier. Its purchase ratio exceeds 10%, making it a long-term partner with strong ties to the Company who supplies products of consistent quality. Taiwan currently has a large number of plastic pellet suppliers, including YMC and Formosa Plastics Corporation. The company reserves the right to change suppliers at any time, so the risk of an excessive concentration of goods causing supply issues is not a concern.

93

2. Sales

The company's product sales are primarily in the aftermarket (AfterMarket). Over the last two years, one customer, A Group, had a sales ratio that exceeded 10%. The Company has had a long-standing relationship with A Group and has solidified an existing customer base. Sales from remaining customers are dispersed, and there is no significant risk.

  • (X) Impacts of a Major Equity Transfer or Representativelacement by Directors, Supervisors, or Top 10 Shareholders with Shareholding Exceeding 10% on the Company, Risks, and Coping Measures: None.

  • (XI) Impacts of Changes in Governance on the Company, Risks, and Coping Measures: As of the most recent year and the printing date of the annual Representativeort: N.A. (no changes in governance).

  • (XII) For litigation or non-litigation incidents, specify major litigation, non-litigation, or administrative disruption incidents involving the Company, its directors, supervisors, general managers, in-charges, and top ten shareholders with holding ratios greater than 10% or their companies, whose outcomes may have material impacts on shareholders' equity or security prices. The disputed facts, target amounts, litigation start dates, main parties involved in the litigation, and handling situation as of the printing date of the annual Representativeort should be disclosed. None.

(XIII) Other material risks and countermeasures: None. VII. Other important matters: None.

CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT DECEMBER 31, 2023 AND 2022

For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors’ report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors’ report and financial statements shall prevail.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Y.C.C. Parts Mfg. Co., Ltd. Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Y.C.C. Parts Mfg. Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and 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 report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

~99~

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group’s 2023 consolidated financial statements. These matters were 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 these matters.

Key audit matters for the Group’s 2023 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:

Cut-off of sales revenue recognition

Description

For the accounting policy of revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4(29); and for details of operating revenue, please refer to Note 6(19). The Group is primarily engaged in manufacturing and trading automobile parts. Sale revenue is recognised when the control over the goods was transferred under the transaction terms.

The sales revenue recognition involves the use of several manual judgements and procedures. As a result, the timing of sales revenue recognition may be inappropriate. Therefore, we included the cut-off of sales revenue recognition as one of the key areas of focus for this year.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures in relation to the above key audit matter included:

  1. Understanding and evaluating the operating procedures and internal controls over sales revenue, and assessing the effectiveness on how the management controls the timing of recognizing sales revenue.

~100~

  1. Examined the transaction documents to ensure that transactions had been recorded in the proper period for a certain period around the balance sheet date.

Assessment of allowance for inventory valuation loss

Description

For the accounting policy of inventory assessment, please refer to Note 4(14); for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to inventory valuation, please refer to Note 5; and for details of allowance for inventory valuation losses, please refer to Note 6(5). The Group is primarily engaged in manufacturing and trading automobile parts. Sale revenue is recognised when the control over the goods was transferred under the transaction terms.

As of December 31, 2023, the balances of inventories and allowance for inventory valuation losses were NT$ 411,843 thousand and NT$ 54,522 thousand, respectively.

The Group is primarily engaged in manufacturing and trading automobile parts. Inventories that are over a certain age and separately recognised as impaired inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Those inventory items separately identified as obsolete and damaged are corroborated against supporting documents in recognising valuation losses. Considering that the Group’s inventories were material to its financial statements, and the determination of net realisable value as at balance sheet date involved judgements and estimates, we identified the assessment of allowance for inventory valuation losses a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures in relation to the above key audit matter included:

  1. Obtained an understanding of the nature of the Group’s business and industry and assessed the reasonableness of provision policies in the determination of allowance

~101~

for inventory valuation losses.

  1. Reviewed the Group’s annual counting plan and conducted their physical counts on inventories to evaluate the control effectiveness on inventory classification.

  2. Obtained the Group’s inventory aging report and verified dates of movements with supporting documents. Ensured the proper categorisation of inventory aging report in accordance with the Group’s policy.

  3. Obtained the net realisable value statement of each inventory, assessed whether the estimation policy was consistently applied, tested the estimation basis of the net realisable value with relevant information, including verifying the sales and purchase prices with supporting evidence, and recalculated and evaluated the reasonableness of the inventory valuation.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Y.C.C. Parts Mfg. Co., Ltd. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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.

~102~

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial

statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. 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

~103~

fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  1. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.

  2. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  3. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our 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 conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  4. 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.

  5. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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.

~104~

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period 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.

4. Summary of Material Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements

are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

~115~

(1) Compliance statement

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).

(2) Basis of preparation

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

  • (a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

  • (b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • (c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

  • B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

(3) Basis of consolidation

  • A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:

  • (a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.

  • (b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

  • (c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

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

~116~

the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.

  • (e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

  • D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates

  • E. Significant restrictions

None.

  • F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group

None.

(4) Foreign currency translation

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

  • A. Foreign currency transactions and balances

  • (a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  • (b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.

  • (c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value

~118~

through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

  • (d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.

  • B. Translation of foreign operations

  • (a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities, associates and joint arrangements that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

    • i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange

rate at the date of that balance sheet;

  • ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and

iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

  • (b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group still retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operations.

  • (c) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing exchange rates at the balance sheet date.

(5) Classification of current and non-current items

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

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

  • (b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

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

  • (d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet

~119~

date.

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

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

    • (b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

    • (c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

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

  • (6) Cash equivalents

  • Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

  • (7) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.

  • D. The Group recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

  • (8) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Group has made an irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income and debt instruments which meet all of the following criteria:

    • (a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

    • (b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:

~120~

The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

(9) Financial assets at amortised cost

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

  • (a) The objective of the Group’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.

  • (b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. The Group’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(10) Accounts and notes receivable

  • A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.

  • B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  • (11) Impairment of financial assets

  • For financial assets at amortised cost, at each reporting date, the Group recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component, the Group recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.

(12) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

- (13) Leasing arrangements (lessor) operating leases

Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(14) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw

~121~

materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads. It excludes borrowing costs. Except for the same types of inventory, the item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.

(15) Property, plant and equipment

  • A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.

  • B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  • C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.

  • D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings and structures 10 ~ 20 years Machinery and equipment 1 ~ 15 years Molding equipment 2 ~ 12 years Transportation equipment 5 ~ 10 years Furniture equipment 2 ~ 5 years Other equipment 2 ~ 20 years

(16) Leasing arrangements (lessee) - right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities

  • A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Group. For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease

~122~

payments are comprised of fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable.

The Group subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.

  • C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following:

  • (a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

  • (b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date;

  • (c) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.

The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

  • D. For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the lessee shall decrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognise the difference between remeasured lease liability in profit or loss.

  • (17) Investment property

An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model.

Land use right is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its contract of 50 years signed with the government of Changshu City, Jiangsu Province, People's Republic of China; buildings and structures are depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 20 years.

  • (18) Intangible assets

  • A. Computer software

    • Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 to 5 years.
  • B. Goodwill

Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method. Acquisition prices in the business combination are calculated based on the acquisition price. The excess of the acquisition price over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired is recorded as goodwill.

(19) Impairment of non-financial assets

  • A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years

~123~

no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.

  • B. The recoverable amounts of goodwill are evaluated periodically. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognised in profit or loss shall not be reversed in the following years.

  • C. For the purpose of impairment testing, goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units, or groups of cash-generating units, that is/are expected to benefit from the synergies of the business combination. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is allocated represents the lowest level within the eqtity at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment level.

(20) Borrowings

  • Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

  • (21) Notes and accounts payable

  • A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.

  • B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(22) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of held for trading. Derivatives are also categorised as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.

  • B. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Group subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

(23) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

(24) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

~124~

(25) Employee benefits

A. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.

  • B. Pensions

  • (a) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  - (b) Defined benefit plans

  - i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) of a currency and term consistent with the currency and term of the employment benefit obligations.

  - ii. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.

  - iii. Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
  • C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration

    • Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is paid by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
  • (26) Income tax

  • A . The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.

  • B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates

~125~

positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

  • C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

  • D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.

  • (27) Share capital

  • A. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

  • B. Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

  • (28) Dividends

Cash dividends distributed to shareholders are recognized as liabilities in the financial report when the Board of Directors of the Company decides to distribute, and stock dividends distributed are recognized as stock dividends to be distributed in the financial report when the Company’s shareholders’ meeting decides to distribute, and transferred to the Company on the base date of new share issuance.

  • (29) Revenue recognition

Sales of goods

  • A. The Group manufactures and sells automobiles parts products. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped

~126~

to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

  • B. Sales revenue was recognized based on the contract price net of sales discount. Goods are often sold with sales discounts and allowances based on future estimated sales volume. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the sales discounts and allowances, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The estimation is subject to an assessment at each reporting date. The sales usually are made with a credit term of 30 to 120 days after the delivery date. which is consistent with market practice. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods or service and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.

  • C. A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

(30) Government grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Group recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to compensate. Government grants related to property, plant and equipment are recognised as non-current liabilities and are amortised to profit or loss over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method.

(31) Business combinations

  • A. The Group uses the acquisition method to account for business combinations. The consideration transferred for an acquisition is measured as the fair value of the assets transferred, liabilities incurred or assumed and equity instruments issued at the acquisition date, plus the fair value of any assets and liabilities resulting from a contingent consideration arrangement. All acquisition-related costs are expensed as incurred. Identifiable assets acquired and liabilities and contingent liabilities assumed in a business combination are measured initially at their fair values at the acquisition date. For each business combination, the Group measures at the acquisition date components of non-controlling interests in the acquiree that are present ownership interests and entitle their holders to the proportionate share of the entity’s net assets in the event of liquidation at the present ownership instruments’ proportionate share in the recognised amounts of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. All other non-controlling interests should be measured at the acquisition-date fair value.

  • B. The excess of the consideration transferred, the amount of any non-controlling interest in the

~127~

acquiree and the fair value of any previous equity interest in the acquiree over the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill at the acquisition date. If the total of consideration transferred, non-controlling interest in the acquiree recognised and the fair value of previously held equity interest in the acquiree is less than the fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed, the difference is recognised directly in profit or loss on the acquisition date.

(32) Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the chief operating decision-maker. The Group’s chief operating decision-maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

~128~

5. Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Key Sources of Assumption Uncertainty

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year; and the related information is addressed below:

(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group’s accounting policies

None.

(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

  • Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. As net realisable value of inventories is estimated at the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and estimated selling expenses, the estimates are based on current market conditions and historical sales experience of similar products and the result of the estimates might be significantly influence by changes in market conditions.

As of December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of inventories was $357,322.

(d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the fund of the Company’s defined benefit pension plan assets in accordance with the Fund’s annual investment and utilisation plan and the “Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilisation of the Labor Retirement Fund” (Article 6: The scope of utilisation for the Fund includes deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, investment in domestic or foreign

~143~

real estate securitisation products, etc.). With regard to the utilisation of the Fund, its minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statements shall be no less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. If the earnings is less than aforementioned rates, government shall make payment for the deficit after being authorised by the Regulator. The Company has no right to participate in managing and operating that Fund and therefore, the Company is unable to disclose the classification of plan assets fair value in accordance with IAS 19 paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the government.

  • B. Financial risk management policies

  • (a) The Group’s activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. To minimise any adverse effects on the financial performance of the Group, derivative financial instruments, such as foreign exchange forward contracts are used to hedge certain exchange rate risk. Derivatives are used for hedging exchange rate risk arising from export proceeds by using forward foreign exchange contracts.

  • (b) The Company treasury performs the financial risk management for each business unit. The treasury operates in domestic and international financial markets through planning and coordination, as well as monitors and manages the financial risks related to the Group’s operation based on internal risk reports about exposure to risk with the analysis of the extent and width of risk.

    • The Board of Directors of the Group supervises the compliance by the management with financial risk policy and procedure, and reviews the appropriateness of structure of financial risk related to the Company. The internal auditors act as supervisors to assist the Board of Directors of the Company by conducting regular and irregular reviews, and report the results to the Board of Directors.
  • (c) Information about derivative financial instruments that are used to hedge certain exchange rate risk are provided in Note 6(2).

  • C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks

  • (a) Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

  • i. The Group operates internationally and is exposed to foreign exchange risk arising from the transactions of the Company and its subsidiaries used in various functional currency, primarily with respect to the United States Dollar and Chinese Renminbi. Foreign exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions and recognised assets and liabilities.

  • ii. The companies within the Group are required to hedge their entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Group treasury. Exchange rate risk is measured through a forecast of highly probable United States Dollar and Chinese Renminbi expenditures. Entities of the Group use natural hedge to decrease the risk exposure in the foreign currency through the Group treasury.

~164~

  • iii. The Group’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations (the Company’s

  • functional currency: New Taiwan Dollars; certain subsidiaries’ functional currency: New Taiwan Dollars, United States Dollar and Chinese Renminbi).

Price risk

  • i. The Group’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets (liabilities) at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Group diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Group.

~166~

  • ii. The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise shares issued by the domestic companies. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, per-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 would have increased/decreased by $1,354 and $1,271, respectively, as a result of losses/gains on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have decreased/increased by $1,283 and $752 respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified as equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • i. The Group’s main interest rate risk arises from short-term and long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in New Taiwan Dollars and United States Dollars.

  • ii. If the borrowing interest rate had increased/decreased by 0.1% with all other variables held constant, profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 would have increased/decreased by $617 and $998, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interest expense result in floating-rate borrowings.

  • (b) Credit risk

  • i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows of equity instruments stated at amortized cost, at fair value through profit or loss and at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • ii. For banks and financial institutions, after reviewing deposit ratings, only the counterparties with good credit quality are accepted. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. The utilization of credit limits is regularly monitored.

  • iii.The Group adopts credit risk management procedure to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition. If the contract payments were past due over 3 months based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.

  • iv.In line with credit risk management procedure, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 180 days.

~167~

  • v. Impairment loss is assessed and recognized when there is objective evidence that individual receivables cannot be recovered. The Group used historical and timely information to establish loss rate of remaining receivables and used the forecast ability to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable. As of December 31, 2023 and 2022, accumulated loss allowance provided for individually assessed receivables amounted to $5,406 and $29,383, respectively. The Group used the forecast ability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of remaining receivables (including notes receivables). On December 31, 2023 and 2022, the provision matrix is as follows:

(c) Liquidity risk

i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group treasury. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants (where applicable) on any of its borrowing facilities.

ii. The Group has the following undrawn borrowing facilities:

December 31, 2023 December 31, 2022 Floating rate: Expiring within one year $ 523,513 $ 303,089 iii. The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities and net-settled or gross-settled derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities and to the expected maturity date for derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks and over-the-counter stocks is included in Level 1.

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset

    • or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Group’s investment in foreign exchange swap contracts is included in Level 2.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

  • B. Fair value information of investment property at cost is provided in Note 6(9).

  • C. Financial instruments not measured at fair value

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Y.C.C. Parts Mfg. Co., Ltd. Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Y.C.C. Parts Mfg. Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and 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 report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our

~177~

opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Company’s 2023 parent company only financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s 2023 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:

Cut-off of sales revenue recognition

Description

For the accounting policy of revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4(28); and for details of operating revenue, please refer to Note 6(19). The Company is primarily engaged in manufacturing and trading automobile parts. Sale revenue is recognised when the control over the goods was transferred under the transaction terms. The sales revenue recognition involves the use of several manual judgements and procedures. As a result, the timing of sales revenue recognition may be inappropriate, which also affected the Company’s subsidiary accounted for using equity method. Therefore, we included the cut-off of sales revenue recognition as one of the key areas of focus for this year.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures in relation to the above key audit matter included:

  1. Understanding and evaluating the operating procedures and internal controls over sales revenue, and assessing the effectiveness on how the management controls the timing of recognizing sales revenue.

~178~

  1. Examined the transaction documents to ensure that transactions had been recorded in the proper period for a certain period around the balance sheet date.

Assessment of allowance for inventory valuation loss

Description

For the accounting policy of inventory assessment, please refer to Note 4(13); for accounting estimates and assumption uncertainty in relation to inventory valuation, please refer to Note 5; and for details of allowance for inventory valuation losses, please refer to Note 6(6). The Company is primarily engaged in manufacturing and trading automobile parts. Sale revenue is recognised when the control over the goods was transferred under the transaction terms.

As of December 31, 2023, the balances of inventories and allowance for inventory valuation losses were NT$ 278,340 thousand and NT$ 25,437 thousand, respectively.

The Company is primarily engaged in manufacturing and trading automobile parts. Inventories that are over a certain age and separately recognised as impaired inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Those inventory items separately identified as obsolete and damaged are corroborated against supporting documents in recognising valuation losses. Considered that the Company’s inventories were material to its financial statements, and the determination of net realisable value in the balance sheet date involved judgements and estimates, which also affected the Company’s subsidiary accounted for using equity method. We identified the assessment of allowance for inventory valuation losses a key audit matter.

~179~

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures in relation to the above key audit matter included:

  1. Obtained an understanding of the nature of the Company’s business and industry and assessed the reasonableness of provision policies in the determination of allowance for inventory valuation losses.

  2. Reviewed the Company’s annual counting plan and conducted their physical counts on inventories to evaluate the control effectiveness on inventory classification.

  3. Obtained the Company’s inventory aging report and verified dates of movements with supporting documents. Ensured the proper categorisation of inventory aging report in accordance with the Company’s policy.

  4. Obtained the net realisable value statement of each inventory, assessed whether the estimation policy was consistently applied, tested the estimation basis of the net realisable value with relevant information, including verifying the sales and purchase prices with supporting evidence, and recalculated and evaluated the reasonableness of the inventory valuation.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible

~180~

for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or

~181~

the override of internal control.

  1. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  2. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  3. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  4. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  5. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

~182~

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period 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.

4. Summary of Material Accounting Policies

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these parent company only financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

(1) Compliance statement

The parent company only financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

(2) Basis of preparation

  • A. Except for the following items, the parent company only financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

  • (a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.

  • (b) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • (c) Defined benefit liabilities recognised based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.

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

(3) Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Company’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The parent company only financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company’s functional currency.

  • A. Foreign currency transactions and balances

  • (a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange

~192~

rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  • (b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.

  • (c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

  • (d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within ‘other gains and losses’.

  • B. Translation of foreign operations

  • (a) The operating results and financial position of all the Company entities, associates and joint arrangements that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

    • i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange

rate at the date of that balance sheet;

  • ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average

exchange rates of that period; and

iii.All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.

  • (b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Company still retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.

  • (c) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing exchange rates at the balance sheet date.

~193~

(4) Classification of current and non-current items

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

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

  • (b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;

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

  • (d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to settle liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

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

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

  • (b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

  • (c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;

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

(5) Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

(6) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortised cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value and recognises the transaction costs in profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value, and recognises the gain or loss in profit or loss.

  • D. The Company recognises the dividend income when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

(7) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income comprise equity securities which are not held for trading, and for which the Company has made an irrevocable election at

~194~

initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income and debt instruments which meet all of the following criteria:

  • (a) The objective of the Company’s business model is achieved both by collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets; and

  • (b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value: The changes in fair value of equity investments that were recognised in other comprehensive income are reclassified to retained earnings and are not reclassified to profit or loss following the derecognition of the investment. Dividends are recognised as revenue when the right to receive payment is established, future economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

(8) Financial assets at amortised cost

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

  • (a) The objective of the Company’s business model is achieved by collecting contractual cash flows.

  • (b) The assets’ contractual cash flows represent solely payments of principal and interest.

  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at amortised cost are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.

  • C. The Company’s time deposits which do not fall under cash equivalents are those with a short maturity period and are measured at initial investment amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(9) Accounts and notes receivable

  • A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Company a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.

  • B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(10) Impairment of financial assets

  • For financial assets at amortised cost, at each reporting date, the Company recognises the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognises the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts. On the other hand, for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing component, the Company recognises the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.

~195~

(11) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognises a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

(12) Leasing arrangements (lessor) operating leases

Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(13) Inventories

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work in progress comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production overheads. It excludes borrowing costs. Except for the same types of inventory, the item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value. Net realisable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable selling expenses.

(14) Investments accounted for using equity method-subsidiaries

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

  • B. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

  • C. The Company’s share of its subsidiaries’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Company’s share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company recognise loss continuously in proportion to its ownership.

  • D. Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Difference of adjustment of non-controlling interest and fair value of consideration paid or received is recognised in equity.

  • E. When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, the Company remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. If the Company loses significant influence over the subsidiary, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit

~196~

or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.

  • F. Pursuant to the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers,” profit (loss) of the current period and other comprehensive income in the non-consolidated financial statements shall be equal to the amount attributable to owners of the parent in the consolidated financial statements. Owners’ equity in the non-consolidated financial statements shall be equal to equity attributable to owners of the parent in the consolidated financial statements.

(15) Property, plant and equipment

  • A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.

  • B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  • C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.

  • D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings and structures 10 ~ 20 years Machinery and equipment 1~ 15 years Molding equipment 2 ~ 5 years Transportation equipment 2 ~ 8 years Furniture equipment 2 ~ 5 years Other equipment 2 ~ 10 years

(16) Leasing arrangements (lessee) right-of-use assets/ lease liabilities

  • A. Leases are recognised as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, lease payments are recognised as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

~197~

  • B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease payments are comprised of fixed payments, less any lease incentives receivable.

    • The Company subsequently measures the lease liability at amortised cost using the interest method and recognises interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is remeasured and the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do not arise from contract modifications.
  • C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following: (a) The amount of the initial measurement of lease liability;

    • (b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date;

    • (c) Any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee.

    • The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the lease term. When the lease liability is remeasured, the amount of remeasurement is recognised as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.

  • D. For lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the lessee shall decrease the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognise the difference between remeasured lease liability in profit or loss.

  • (17) Investment real estate

Investment real estate is recognized at acquisition cost, and subsequent measurement adopts the cost model.

  • (18) Intangible assets

Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 to 5 years.

(19) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.

(20) Borrowings

Borrowings comprise long-term and short-term bank borrowings. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption

~198~

value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

(21) Notes and accounts payable

  • A. Accounts payable are liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods or services and notes payable are those resulting from operating and non-operating activities.

  • B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(22) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss

  • A. Financial liabilities are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of held for trading. Derivatives are also categorised as financial liabilities held for trading unless they are designated as hedges.

  • B. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial liabilities at fair value. All related transaction costs are recognised in profit or loss. The Company subsequently measures these financial liabilities at fair value with any gain or loss recognised in profit or loss.

(23) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

(24) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(25) Employee benefits

  • A. Short-term employee benefits

  • Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expense in that period when the employees render service.

  • B. Pensions

  • (a) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expense when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  • (b) Defined benefit plans

  • i.Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Company in current period or prior periods. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The net defined benefit obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit

~199~

credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) of a currency and term consistent with the currency and term of the employment benefit obligations.

ii.Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.

iii.Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss.

  • C. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expense and liability, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is paid by shares, the Company calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.

  • (26) Income tax

  • A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.

  • B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

  • C. Deferred tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss and does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences. Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred tax asset is realised or the deferred tax liability is settled.

  • D. Deferred tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit

~200~

will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.

(27) Share capital

  • A. Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

  • B. Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.

(28) Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities.

  • (29) Revenue recognition

Sales of goods

  • A. The Company manufactures and sells automobiles parts products. Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred. Delivery occurs when the products have been shipped to the specific location, the risks of obsolescence and loss have been transferred to the customer, and either the customer has accepted the products in accordance with the sales contract, or the Company has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.

  • B. Sales revenue was recognized based on the contract price net of sales discount. Goods are often sold with sales discounts and allowances based on future estimated sales volume. Accumulated experience is used to estimate and provide for the sales discounts and allowances, using the expected value method, and revenue is only recognised to the extent that it is highly probable that a significant reversal will not occur. The estimation is subject to an assessment at each reporting date. The sales usually are made with a credit term of 60 to 120 days after the delivery date. which is consistent with market practice. As the time interval between the transfer of committed goods or service and the payment of customer does not exceed one year, the Company does not adjust the transaction price to reflect the time value of money.

  • C. A receivable is recognised when the goods are delivered as this is the point in time that the consideration is unconditional because only the passage of time is required before the payment is due.

(30) Government grants

Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that the Company will comply with conditions attached to the grants and the grants will be received. Government grants are recognised in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the Company recognises expenses for the related costs for which the grants are intended to

~201~

compensate. Government grants related to property, plant and equipment are recognised as non-current liabilities and are amortised to profit or loss over the estimated useful lives of the related assets using the straight-line method.

5. Critical Accounting Judgements, Estimates and Key Sources of Assumption Uncertainty

The preparation of these parent company only financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year ; and the related information is addressed below:

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

None.

(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

  • Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Company must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. As net realisable value of inventories is estimated at the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and estimated selling expenses, the estimates are based on current market conditions and historical sales experience of similar products and the result of the estimates might be significantly influence by changes in market conditions. As of December 31, 2023, the carrying amount of inventories was $252,903.

(14) Government grants

As of December 31, 2023, the Company acquired government concessional loans under the “Action Plan for Welcoming Overseas Taiwanese Businesses to Return to Invest in Taiwan” from Bank of Taiwan in the amounts of $432,000 and $48,000, respectively, for supporting capital expenditure and working capital. Such loans will mature in December 2029 and December 2026, respectively. The fair values for the loans were $424,935 and $47,277, respectively which were calculated at a market rate of 1.25% and 1.375%. The differences between the acquired amount and the fair value were $7,065 and $723, respectively, which were deemed as a low interest loan subsidy from government and recognised in deferred revenue (shown as other non-current liabilities). The deferred revenue is reclassified to other income on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful life during the period of paying interest. The realised deferred government grants revenue were $1,410 and $1,099, respectively, for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

(15) Pensions

  • A. (a) The Company has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Act,

covering all regular employees’ service years prior to the enforcement of the Labor Pension Act on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Law. Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The Company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Company would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year.

Price risk

  • i. The Company’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets (liabilities) at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage its price risk arising from investments in equity securities, the Company diversifies its portfolio. Diversification of the portfolio is done in accordance with the limits set by the Company.

~237~

  • ii. The Company’s investments in equity securities comprise shares issued by the domestic companies. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, per-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 would have decreased/increased by $1,248 and $1,185, respectively, as a result of losses/gains on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $1,283 and $752, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified as equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • i. The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from short-term and long-term borrowings with variable rates, which expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. During years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Company’s borrowings at variable rate were mainly denominated in New Taiwan Dollars and United States Dollars.

  • ii. If the borrowing interest rate had increased/decreased by 0.1% with all other variables held constant, profit before tax for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 would have increased/decreased by $582 and $736, respectively. The main factor is that changes in interest expense result in floating-rate borrowings.

  • (b) Credit risk

  • i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms, and the contract cash flows of equity instruments stated at amortised cost, at fair value through profit or loss and at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • ii. For banks and financial institutions, after reviewing deposit ratings, only the counterparties with good credit quality are accepted. According to the Company’s credit policy, the Company is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

  • iii.The Company adopts credit risk management procedure to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition. If the contract payments were past due over 3 months based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.

  • iv.In line with credit risk management procedure, the default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 180 days.

~238~

  • v. The Company used the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of receivables (including notes receivables). On December 31, 2023 and 2022, the provision matrix is as follows:
