1. Directors and Independent Directors’ remuneration policies, procedures, standards and structure, as well as the linkage to responsibilities, risks and time spent:
Pursuant to Article 30 of the Article of Incorporation of the Company, if the Company makes a profit for the current year, the Board of Directors shall resolve on the allocation of at least 3% of the profit as employee compensation and
no more than 1% as the compensation for directors. Remuneration for directors of the Company shall be evaluated by the Compensation Committee according to their respective participation in the operation of the Company and
value of contribution, the practice of the Company’s core values, familiarity with the goals and missions of the Company, awareness of the duties of a director, management and communication of internal relationship, director’s
professional and continuing education as well as internal control. The Board of Directors is authorized to determine their remuneration according to the evaluation conducted by the Compensation Committee and general standard in
the same industries. For example, the Chairman should be responsible for the board operations and corporate governance evaluation results, the connection of shareholders’ interests (TSR, ROE), the accomplishment of RE 100
and other ESG indicators, and has added long-term indicators (PE Ratio, ROE) and long-term incentive bonuses with reference to the Company’s long-term incentive mechanism for the managements, which will be calculated as
phantom stocks starting from 2022 and the phantom stocks allocated from 2022 to 2024 will be paid in cash in 2025. Remuneration for independent directors may be different from non-independent directors. The remuneration for
the independent director who is serving as the chairperson of a functional committee can be higher than other independent directors.
2. In addition to the above remuneration, director remuneration shall be disclosed when received from companies listed in the consolidated financial statements and reinvestment companies in the most recent year to compensate for
their services, such as being independent consultants, etc.: None.

4.2.1.3 Greenhouse Gas Inventory and Management
- Since 2010, Delta has been participating in the CDP and disclosing its greenhouse gas emissions. Since
2017, overall production plants have been annually verified according to ISO 14064-1 standards. Additionally,
since 2022, global operation sites have been undergoing annual verification according to ISO 14064-1
standards.
- Delta’s carbon reduction strategy includes promoting energy conservation projects, adopting renewable
energy, promoting green buildings, investing in low-carbon innovation, investing in carbon offsetting and
permanent carbon removal, and accelerating carbon reduction through internal carbon pricing mechanisms.
- In 2023, the global operation sites Scope 1 and 2 greenhouse gas emissions (market-based) amounted to
132,275 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent*, representing a reduction of 39.0%* compared to the base
year’s emissions of 216,891 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent. Additionally, the Scope 3 greenhouse
gas emissions amounted to 7,160,049 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent*, reflecting an increase of
37.6%* compared to the base year’s emissions of 5,203,942 metric tons of carbon dioxide equivalent.
The historical greenhouse gas emissions data for global operation sites are presented in the following table:
Items 2022 2023
Scope 1 and 2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions (tons CO2e) – Location-based 434,254 490,474*
Scope 1 and 2 Greenhouse Gas Emissions (tons CO2e) – Market-based 187,645 132,275*
Carbon Intensity (tons CO2e /production value in MUSD) – Market-based 17.1 11.3*
*The greenhouse gas emissions data from Delta's global operation sites for the year 2023 are currently undergoing assurance.
4.2.1.4 Establishing a forward-thinking internal carbon pricing mechanism to drive low-carbon innovation
Since 2021, Delta has implemented an internal carbon pricing mechanism, charging business groups and units
US $300 per metric ton of carbon emitted. The collected carbon fees are allocated to a carbon fund, which
incentivizes investments in carbon reduction initiatives across global operation sites, including renewable
electricity and energy technology development, energy and resource management, low-carbon innovations, and
initiatives.

7. Financial Highlights and Analysis
▶ 7.1 Financial statement for the most recent fiscal year
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
153
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Delta Electronics, Inc. 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, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to the Other matter
section), 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.
154
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:
Assessment of the reasonableness of the purchase price allocation for business combination
Description
Refer to Note 4(37) in the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy on business
combination. Refer to Notes 6(9) and (30) in the consolidated financial statements for the accounting
treatment of business combination and the allocation of purchase price.
In July 2022, the subsidiary of the Company, Delta International Holding Limited B.V., acquired
100% of the share capital of UI Acquisition Holding Co. for NT$2,797,346 thousand. The allocation of
the acquisition price was completed in the first quarter of 2023. The acquisition price and the amount of
intangible assets arising from the business acquisition are significant and the net fair value of identifiable
assets and liabilities and the allocation of intangible assets are based on management’s estimation and
subjective judgement. Thus, we considered the purchase price allocation for the above business combination
a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following procedures for the above key audit matter:
A. Assessed the appropriateness and objectivity of the appraisers appointed by the management.
B. Reviewed identification of intangible assets, fair value measurement of identifiable intangible assets,
discount rates and the reasonableness of goodwill calculation in the purchase price allocation report
prepared by external experts.
155
Intangible Assets - Impairment assessment of goodwill
Description
Refer to Note 4(21) for the accounting policies on impairment of non-financial assets. Refer to
Notes 5(2) and 6(9) for the impairment assessment of goodwill including critical accounting estimates.
As of December 31, 2023, goodwill arising from both the acquisitions of the Company in Cyntec Co.,
Ltd. and Atrust Computer Corporation, and the acquisitions through the Company’s subsidiaries, Delta
International Holding Limited B.V.(DIH) and Delta Electronics (Netherlands) B.V.(DEN), in DELTA
ELECTRONICS (NORWAY) AS, Delta Controls Inc., Delta Greentech (China) Co., Ltd., March
Network Holdings Ltd., Amerlux LLC, and Trihedral Engineering Limited amounted to NT$18,324,143
thousand, constituting 4.00% of the consolidated total assets. As the balance of goodwill acquired from
the merger is material, the assumptions used in assessing goodwill impairment involves material
accounting estimates which are complex and have high uncertainty. Thus, we considered the impairment
assessment of goodwill a key audit matter.
156
C. Performed a sensitivity analysis on the value of significant assumptions to assess the risk of
impairment of goodwill if there is a change in significant assumptions.
157
or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the
Group’s financial reporting process.
158
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;
E. 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; and
F. 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.
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 year
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.
(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 judgment in the process
of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment 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 (including structured 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 are consistent
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.
171
(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
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 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.

(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, except when deferred in other
comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
(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 as part of the fair value gain
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 other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive
income within other gains and losses.
190
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 an associate or joint arrangements,
exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately
reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even the Group still
retains partial interest in the former foreign associate or joint arrangements after losing
significant influence over the former foreign associate, or losing joint control of the former
joint arrangements, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these
foreign operations.
(c) 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 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
operation.
(d) 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 pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet
date.
191
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 paid off within the normal operating cycle;
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
(c) Liabilities that are to be paid off 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. Financial assets at amortised
cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are designated as at fair value through
profit or loss at initial recognition when they eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or
recognition inconsistency.
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.
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. Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are initially recognised at fair
192
value plus transaction costs. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated 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 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. 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.
C. The Group’s operating pattern of accounts receivable that are expected to be factored is for the
purpose of selling, and the accounts receivable are subsequently measured at fair value, with any
changes in fair value recognised in profit or loss.
(11) Impairment of financial assets
For financial assets at amortised cost and accounts receivable or contract assets that have a
significant financing component, 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.
(12) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the
Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and, the
Group has not retained control of the financial asset.
(13) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of finished goods and
193
work in process comprises raw materials, direct labour, other direct costs and related production
overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity); however, borrowing costs are excluded.
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) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered
principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use, and a sale is considered
highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
(15) Investments accounted for under the equity method
A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In
general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or
indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are
accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
B. The Group’s share of its associates’ 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 Group’s share of loss in an associate equals or exceeds
its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not
recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments
on behalf of the associate.
C. When changes in associates’ equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive
income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership percentage of the
associate, the Group recognises the Group’s share of change in equity of the associate in ‘capital
surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
D. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent
of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the
transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of
associates are consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.
E. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new
shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group’s ownership percentage of the
associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and
‘investments accounted for under the equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or
decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group’s
ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts
previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified
to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or
liabilities were disposed of.
194
F. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Group remeasures any investment
retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying
amount is recognised in profit or loss.
G. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this
associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the
associate are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant
assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, the
amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are
reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
(16) Cash surrender value of life insurance
Premium paid for life insurance with saving nature belonging to cash surrender value is recognised
as a deduction to insurance premium expense in current period and is added to the carrying amount
of cash surrender value.
(17) 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.
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 2~15 years except for buildings, the estimated life of which is 5~55 years.
(18) 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 payments
195
are 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; and
(b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date.
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.
196
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. When the circumstances or
reasons for recognising 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.
B. The recoverable amounts of goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and
intangible assets that have not yet been available for use 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 entity at which the goodwill is
monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment
level.
(22) 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 (transaction costs) and
the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the
effective interest method.
(23) Notes and accounts payable
Notes and accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in
the ordinary course of business from suppliers. They are recognised initially at fair value and
subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. However, for short-
term accounts payable without bearing interest, as the effect of discounting is insignificant, they are
measured subsequently at original invoice amount.
(24) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
A. Derivatives are 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.
(25) Bonds payable
Ordinary corporate bonds issued by the Group are initially recognised at fair value less transaction
costs. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is
presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortised to profit or loss
over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method as an adjustment to ‘finance
costs’.
197
(26) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract
is discharged or cancelled or expires.
(27) 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.
(28) Non-hedging and embedded derivatives
A. Non-hedging derivatives are initially recognised at fair value on the date a derivative contract is
entered into and recorded as financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or
loss. They are subsequently remeasured at fair value and the gains or losses are recognised in
profit or loss.
B. Under the financial assets, the hybrid contracts embedded with derivatives are initially
recognised as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at fair value
through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortised cost based on the contract
terms.
C. Under the non-financial assets, whether the hybrid contracts embedded with derivatives are
accounted for separately at initial recognition is based on whether the economic characteristics
and risks of an embedded derivative are closely related in the host contract. When they are closely
related, the entire hybrid instrument is accounted for by its nature in accordance with the
applicable standard. When they are not closely related, the derivative is accounted for differently
from the host contract as derivative while the host contract is accounted for by its nature in
accordance with the applicable standard. Alternatively, the entire hybrid instrument is designated
as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss upon initial recognition.
(29) Hedge accounting
A. At the inception of the hedging relationship, there is formal designation and documentation of
the hedging relationship and the Group’s risk management objective and strategy for undertaking
the hedge. That documentation shall include identification of the hedging instrument, the hedged
item, the nature of the risk being hedged and how the Group will assess whether the hedging
relationship meets the hedge effectiveness requirements.
B. The Group has designated its hedging relationship as
(a) Cash flow hedge: a hedge of the exposure to variability in cash flows that is attributable to a
particular risk associated with a recognised asset or liability or a highly probable forecast
transaction.
(b) Hedges of net investments in foreign operations.
198
C. Cash flow hedges
(a) The cash flow hedge reserve associated with the hedged item is adjusted to the lower of the
following (in absolute amounts):
i. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument from inception of the hedge; and
ii. The cumulative change in fair value of the hedged item from inception of the hedge.
(b) The effective portion of the gain or loss on the hedging instrument is recognised in other
comprehensive income. The gain or loss on the hedging instrument relating to the ineffective
portion is recognised in profit or loss.
(c) The amount that has been accumulated in the cash flow hedge reserve in accordance with (a)
is accounted for as follows:
199
(30) Employee benefits
A. Pensions
(a) Defined contribution plan
Under the defined contribution plan, the contributions are recognised as pension expenses
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 plan
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.
B. Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as
expenses and liabilities, 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 employees’ compensation is distributed by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares
based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
(31) Employee share-based payment
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are
measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as
compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value
of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-
market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service
conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments
that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date.
Ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity
instruments that eventually vest.
200
(32) 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 charge 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 financial statements. 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 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.
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported 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.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally
enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by
the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on
a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
(33) Share capital
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.
201
(34) Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are
approved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities.
(35) Revenue recognition
A. Sales of goods
(a) The Group manufactures and sells power supply of computers, information technology,
vehicles and electrical machines, automation equipment and related components products.
Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products
are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to
sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customer’s
acceptance of the products. 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 Group has objective evidence that all criteria for acceptance have been satisfied.
(b) Sales revenue is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated
discounts and allowances. 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. A refund liability is
recognised for expected sales discounts and allowances payable to customers in relation to
sales made until the end of the reporting period. Sales are usually made with a credit term of
30 to 90 days after acceptance. 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) The Group’s obligation to provide a refund for faulty products under the standard warranty
terms is recognised as a provision.
(d) A receivable is recognised when the control of goods are transferred 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.
B. Installation of software and module services
(a) The Group provides installation of some software and module services. Revenue from
providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.
For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the
end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. This is
determined based on the actual cost spent relative to the total expected cost. The customer
pays at the time specified in the payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the
payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a
202
contract liability is recognised.
(b) Some contracts include sales and installation services of equipment. The equipment and the
installation services provided by the Group are not distinct and are identified to be one
performance obligation satisfied over time since the installation services involve significant
customisation and modification.
(c) The Group’s estimate about revenue, costs and progress towards complete satisfaction of a
performance obligation is subject to a revision whenever there is a change in circumstances.
Any increase or decrease in revenue or costs due to an estimate revision is reflected in profit
or loss during the period when the management becomes aware of the changes in
circumstances.
C. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract
Given that the contractual period lasts less than one year, the Group recognises the incremental
costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred although the Group expects to recover
those costs.
(36) Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that
the Group will comply with any 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 presented by deducting the grants
from the asset’s carrying amount and are amortised to profit or loss over the estimated useful lives
of the related assets as reduced depreciation expenses.
(37) 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 either fair value or 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
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
203
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.
(38) 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.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION
UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical
judgments 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 judgments in applying the Group’s accounting policies
Investment property
The Group uses part of the property for its own use and part to earn rentals or for capital appreciation.
When the portions cannot be sold separately and cannot be leased out separately under a finance lease,
the property is classified as investment property only if the own-use portion accounts for less than 20
percent of the property.
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
Impairment assessment of goodwill
The impairment assessment of goodwill relies on the Group’s subjective judgment, including
identifying cash-generating units, allocating assets and liabilities as well as goodwill to related cash-
generating units, and determining the recoverable amounts of related cash-generating units. Please
refer to Note 6(9) for the information on goodwill impairment.

The Group entered into forward exchange contracts and cross currency swap to manage exposures
to foreign exchange rate fluctuations of import or export sales, loans between related parties and
dividend distribution within the Group. However, the forward exchange transactions did not meet
the criteria for hedge accounting. Therefore, the Group did not apply hedge accounting.
C. The Group has no financial assets at fair value through profit or loss pledged to others.
D. Information relating to credit risk is provided in Note 12(2).

Valuation adjustment ( 695,930) ( 582,678)
$ 1,995,030 $ 1,740,553
A. The Group has elected to classify investments that are considered to be strategic investments as
financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. The fair value of such
investments amounted to $1,995,030 and $1,740,553 as at December 31, 2023 and 2022,
respectively.
B. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group disposed certain investments that
no longer have strategic purposes. Stocks totalling $554,179 and $81,320 were sold at fair value,
resulting to a cumulative gain on disposal of $464,305 and $9,874 for the years ended December
31, 2023 and 2022.
C. Amounts recognised in profit or loss and other comprehensive income in relation to the financial
assets at fair value through other comprehensive income are listed below:

D. As at December 31, 2023 and 2022, without taking into account any collateral held or other credit
enhancements, the maximum exposure to credit risk in respect of the amount that best represents
the financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income held by the Group were
$1,995,030 and $1,740,553, respectively.
E. The Group has no financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income pledged to
others as collateral.
(4) Hedging financial assets and liabilities
The Group used Euro denominated demand deposits as a hedging instrument to hedge the highly
probable foreign exchange variation of Euro denominated investment payable which is expected to
occur in the future, and the instrument adopted the accounting of cash flow hedges. The portion of
changes in the hedging instrument caused by exchange rate risk that was determined to be an effective
hedge was deferred and recognised as gain or loss on the hedging instrument under other equity items.
Subsequently, when the probable purchase transaction of hedged investments occurred, and the
proceeds of Euro denominated investment payable were paid by hedging instruments, the gain or loss
on the hedging instrument under other equity items was reclassified to the initial cost of long-term
equity investments. The aforementioned transaction was completed on the balance sheet date. At
December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group’s hedging financial assets and liabilities are both $0.
Related transaction information is as follows:
A. Other equity - cash flow hedge reserve:

Add: Loss on hedge effectiveness-amount

At December 31 $ 129,917 $ 129,917
(a) The purpose of hedge accounting is that the hedged highly probable forecast transactions
denominated in foreign currency are expected to occur, which are recycled into profit or loss
in the period or periods when the hedged item affects profit or loss.
(b) Hedges of net investments in foreign operations
In the first quarter of 2018, due to the reorganisation of the Group, the risk of USD exchange
rate fluctuating by fair value initially designated as hedged items of hedges of net investments
in foreign operations was no longer material. Consequently, the hedge relationship did not
meet the conditions of hedge accounting. The effective portion of hedges of net investments
in foreign operations was accumulated in other equity previously. Since the foreign operations
was not disposed, it was not reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

between the acquisition price and the net fair value of identifiable assets acquired. The
amortisation duration of acquisition price shall not exceed one year after the acquisition.
D. The Group's goodwill arose from business combinations in order to improve benefit comprising
of potential customer relationships and operating revenue in the location of acquired companies.
Based on IAS 36, goodwill acquired in a business combination should be tested at least annually
for impairment. For the impairment testing of goodwill, goodwill acquired in a business
combination is allocated to each of the cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from
the synergies of the business combination. Each company may be a cash-generating unit which
can generate independent cash flows.
In assessing the impairment of goodwill and trademarks with indefinite useful lives, for the
goodwill of DET and Vivotek, the recoverable amount is the higher of the companies' fair value
less costs of disposal and value-in-use (the fair value is classified as a level 2 fair value after the
Group's assessment based on the closing price at the balance sheet date and considering premium,
as the closing price is a transaction price without control in the centralized securities exchange
market); for the goodwill and trademarks with indefinite useful lives of each cash-generating unit,
the impairment is calculated based on value-in-use and carrying amount of net assets of each
company. The key assumptions used for value-in-use calculations are operating profit margin.
growth rate and discount rate.
Management determined budgeted operating profit margin based on past performance and its
expectations of market development. The weighted average growth rates used are consistent with
the forecasts included in industry reports. The discount rates used are pre-tax and reflect specific
risks relating to the relevant operating segments.
As the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, MES and others, calculated using the
value-in-use is less than the carrying amount, the Group recognised impairment loss of $226,020
and $417,151 on goodwill for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The
discount rate used in calculating value-in-use was 9.69% and 10.5% on December 31, 2023 and
2022, respectively.

(15) Pensions
A. Defined benefit plan
(a) The Group has a defined benefit pension plan as follows:
i. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries have 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 Labor Standards Act. 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 and its domestic subsidiaries contribute 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 and its domestic subsidiaries would assess the balance in
the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the
account balance is not enough to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method
to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company
and its domestic subsidiaries will make contribution for the deficit by next March.
ii. Certain subsidiaries located in Mainland China maintain defined benefit retirement
(resignation) plans with relative contribution scheme. The employees and the subsidiaries
contribute an amount relatively based on a certain percentage of the monthly basic salary
depending on the employee’s position. When an employee retires or resigns, the total
contribution from the employee is reimbursed based on the accumulated contribution
(without interest) less withdrawals made by the employee in advance during the service
period. The employee is also entitled to receive benefits calculated based on the
accumulated contribution (without interest) from the related subsidiary multiplied by the
approved benefit percentage for the employee’s service years less withdrawals made by
the employee in advance during the service period. The scheme mentioned above ceased
on August 1, 2004. The amount contributed before was archived, and the payment scheme
was not changed.
iii. The subsidiaries in Thailand, Switzerland and Norway, etc. have an obligation to pay
certain retirement benefits when employees retire based on labor regulations.
(b) The amounts recognised in the balance sheet are as follows:

(d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s and domestic
subsidiaries’ defined benefit pension plan 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 real estate securitization 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 authorized
by the Regulator. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries have no right to participate in
managing and operating that fund and hence the Company and its domestic subsidiaries are
unable to disclose the classification of plan asset fair value in accordance with IAS 19
paragraph 142. The composition of fair value of plan assets as at December 31, 2023 and
2022 is given in the Annual Labor Retirement Fund Utilisation Report announced by the
government.
221
(e) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:
Years ended December 31,
2023 2022
Discount rate 0.03%~10.30% 0.03%~7.40%
Future salary increases 2.0%~8.3% 2.5%~8.5%
Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set based on actuarial advice in
accordance with published statistics and experience in each territory.
Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit
obligation is affected. The analysis is as follows:
Discount rate Future salary increases
Increase Decrease Increase Decrease
0.25%~1% 0.25%~1% 0.25%~2.75% 0.25%~2.75%
December 31, 2023
Effect on present value of
defined benefit obligation ($ 224,471) $ 246,997 $ 83,101 ($ 68,612)
The sensitivity analysis above was arrived at based on one assumption which changed while
the other conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change
all at once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension
liability in the balance sheet are the same.
(f) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plans of the Group for the year ending
December 31, 2023 amount to $223,309.
(g) As at December 31, 2023, the weighted average duration of that retirement plan is 3~21 years.
B. Defined contribution plan
(a) Effective July 1, 2005, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries have established a
defined contribution pension plan (the “New Plan”) under the Labor Pension Act, covering
all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, the Company and its
domestic subsidiaries contribute monthly an amount based on 6% of the employees’ monthly
salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor
Insurance. The benefits accrued are paid monthly or in lump sum upon termination of
employment. The pension costs under the defined contribution pension plans of the Company
and its domestic subsidiaries for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $739,695
and $613,076, respectively.
222
(b) Other overseas companies have defined contribution plans in accordance with the local
regulations. Other than the periodic contribution, the overseas companies have no further
obligations.
(16) Share capital
A. In accordance with the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the total authorised common stock
is 4 billion shares (including 100 million shares for stock warrants conversion). As at December
31, 2023, the total issued and outstanding common stock was 2,597,543 thousand shares with
par value of $10 (in dollars) per share.
B. On December 20, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a resolution that allowed
certain stockholders to issue 16 million units of global depository receipts (GDRs), represented
by 80 million shares of common stock (Deposited Shares), with one unit of GDR representing 5
shares of common stock. After obtaining approval from SFB, these GDRs were listed on the
Securities Exchange of Luxembourg on March 29, 2005, with total proceeds of US$134,666
thousand. The issuance of GDRs was represented by outstanding shares, therefore, there is no
dilutive effect on the common shares’ equity. The main terms and conditions of the GDRs are as
follows:
(a) Voting rights
GDR holders may, pursuant to the Depositary Agreement and the relevant laws and
regulations of the R.O.C., exercise the voting rights pertaining to the underlying common
shares represented by the GDRs.
(b) Redemption of GDRs
For sales and redemption of the underlying common shares represented by the GDRs when
the holders of the GDRs request the Depositary to redeem the GDRs in accordance with the
relevant R.O.C. regulations and the provisions in the Depositary Agreement, the Depositary
may (i) deliver the underlying common shares represented by the GDRs to the GDR holders,
or (ii) sell the underlying common shares represented by the GDRs in the R.O.C. stock market
on behalf of the GDR holder. The payment of proceeds from such sale shall be made subject
to the relevant R.O.C. laws and regulations and the provisions in the Depositary Agreement.
(c) Distribution of dividends, preemptive rights and other rights

223
Company has no accumulated deficit. Further, the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Law requires
that the amount of capital surplus to be capitalised mentioned above should not exceed 10% of the
paid-in capital each year. Capital surplus should not be used to cover accumulated deficit unless the
legal reserve is insufficient.
(18) Retained earnings

distributed in the following order:
(a) Payment of all taxes and dues.

(e) The remainder along with the beginning unappropriated earnings shall be distributed as
dividends to stockholders. The appropriation of earnings shall be proposed by the Board of
Directors and resolved by the shareholders.

financial health and business development, projected capital expenditures and reinvestment
plans in the future, the amount of dividends distributed to shareholders shall not be lower
than 50% of post-tax profit for the current year. Cash dividends shall be at least 15% of the
total dividends distributed to shareholders.
B. Except for covering accumulated deficit or issuing new stocks or cash to shareholders in
proportion to their share ownership, the legal reserve shall not be used for any other purpose.
The use of legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their
share ownership is permitted, provided that the distribution of the reserve is limited to the portion
in excess of 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital.
C. (a) In accordance with the regulations, the Company shall set aside special reserve from the debit
balance on other equity items at the balance sheet date before distributing earnings. When

IFRSs in accordance with Order No. Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Corporate-
1010012865, dated April 6, 2012, shall be reversed proportionately when the relevant assets

H. The Group has applied the exception to recognizing and disclosing information about deferred
tax assets and liabilities related to Pillar Two income taxes.
I. The Group’s exposure to Pillar Two income taxes arising from the Pillar Two legislation is as
follows:
(a) The Group is within the scope of the Pillar Two model rules published by the Organisation
for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD). Since Pillar Two legislation was
232
enacted in the Netherlands, the jurisdiction in which the entity controlled by the Group is
incorporated, and will come into effect from January 1, 2024, the Group has no related current
tax exposure as of December 31, 2023.While Pillar Two legislation was enacted in other
operational regions of the Group and has not yet come into effect, it has no significant impact
to the Group based on the Group’s assessment.
(b) Under the Pillar Two legislation, the Group is liable to pay a top-up tax for the difference
between its GloBE effective tax rate per jurisdiction and the 15% minimum rate.
(c) For 2023, the average effective tax rate calculated in accordance with IAS 12 of the entities
operating in Thailand is 3.11%. For the year ended December 31, 2023, total accounting profit
for the entities in Thailand is THB 18,363,040 thousand. Additionally, the weighted average
ownership ratio of the entities subject to the enacted legislation to the entities in Thailand is
14.68%.
(d) Due to the complexities in applying the legislation and calculating GloBE income, the
average effective tax rate of the entities operating in Thailand based on accounting profit is
3.11% for the year ended December 31, 2023. However, due to the impact of specific
adjustments envisaged in the Pillar Two legislation which give rise to different effective tax
rates compared to those calculated in accordance with IAS 12, the quantitative impact of the
enacted or substantively enacted legislation is not yet reasonably estimable. The Group is
currently engaged with tax specialists to assist it with applying the legislation.

247
Price risk
i. The Group’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial assets
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.
ii The Group’s investments in equity securities comprise shares issued by the domestic and
foreign 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, post-tax profit for the
years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 would have increased/decreased by $45,564
and $17,011, respectively, as a result of gain/loss on equity securities classified as at fair
value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased
by $13,837 and $14,772, respectively, as a result of other comprehensive income classified
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 long-term borrowings and bonds payable.
Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which
is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings and
bonds payable issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The
Group’s borrowings mainly bear variable interest rate; while bonds payable bear fixed
interest rate. During the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group’s
borrowings at variable rate were denominated in NTD, USD and JPY, and the Group’s
bonds payable at fixed rates were denominated in NTD.
ii. As at December 31, 2023 and 2022, if the interest rate increases by 0.25%, with all other
variables held constant, profit, net of tax for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
would have decreased by $49,698 and $65,537, respectively. The main factor is that
changes in interest expense result from 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 financial instruments which were settled in
accordance with trading conditions.
ii. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group 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.
iii. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits
248
set by the credit controller. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.
iv. For banks and financial institutions, only well rated parties are accepted.
v. The Group adopts the assumption under IFRS 9, that is, if the contract payments are past
due over 180 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk
on that instrument since initial recognition.
vi. The Group adopts the assumption under IFRS 9, that is, the default occurs when the
contract payments are not expected to be recovered and are transferred to overdue
receivables.
vii. The Group classifies customer’s accounts receivable and contract assets in accordance
with customer types. The Group applies the simplified approach using the provision
matrix based on the loss rate methodology to estimate expected credit loss.
viii. The Group uses the forecastability to adjust historical and timely information to assess
the default possibility of accounts receivable and contract assets. There were no contract
assets past due as at December 31, 2023 and 2022. On December 31, 2023 and 2022, the
provision matrix of accounts receivable is as follows:
Not past due 1-90 days past due 91-180 days past due
At December 31, 2023
Expected loss rate 0.00% 1.66% 24.09%
Total book value $ 65,274,347 $ 11,479,401 $ 454,029
Loss allowance $ 935 $ 190,800 $ 109,389
Not past due 1-90 days past due 91-180 days past due
At December 31, 2022
Expected loss rate 0.00% 1.09% 13.83%
Total book value $ 73,676,921 $ 9,781,373 $ 687,649
Loss allowance $ 478 $ 106,371 $ 95,104

respectively.
(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.
ii. 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

within 1 year.
iii. The Group does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated through
the maturity date analysis to be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash flow
amount to be significantly different.
(3) Fair value information
A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of
financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market
in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and
volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset
or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
251
B. The carrying amounts of financial instruments not measured at fair value including cash and cash
equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, short-term borrowings,
notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, bonds payable and long-term borrowings
(including current portion) are approximate to their fair values.
C. The related information on financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by
level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities is as follows:

D. The methods and assumptions that the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:
(a) The instruments that the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level
1) are listed below by characteristics:
Listed shares Convertible (exchangeable) bond
Market quoted price Closing price Closing price
(b) Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial
instruments is measured by using valuation techniques that are approved for financial
management.
(c) When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, the Group adopts
valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the
valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the
market.
(d) The valuation of derivative financial instruments is based on valuation model widely
accepted by market participants, such as present value techniques and option pricing models.
Forward exchange contracts are usually valued based on the current forward exchange rate.
(e) The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be
able to capture all relevant factors of the Group’s financial and non-financial instruments.
Therefore, the estimated value derived using the valuation model is adjusted accordingly with
additional inputs. In accordance with the Group’s management policies and relevant control
procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement, management
believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent the fair value
of financial and non-financial instruments at the consolidated balance sheet. The inputs and
pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and adjusted based on
current market conditions.
(f) The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of
financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty.
E. In October 2023, the Group converted the convertible bonds of Lanner Electronics Inc. into
common stock. Therefore, the Group transferred the fair value from Level 2 to Level 1 at the end
of the month when the event occurred. For the year ended December 31, 2022, there was no
transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
F. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and
2022:

G. For the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, the Group obtained sufficient observable
market information for certain financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. These equity
securities were transferred from Level 3 into Level 1 at the end of the month in which they were
listed.
H. Investment and accounting department is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value
measurements being categorised within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of
financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by
applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions and
periodical review.
The capital department establishes valuation policies, valuation processes and ensures
compliance with the related requirements in IFRS. The related valuation results are reported to
the management monthly. The management is responsible for managing and reviewing valuation
processes.

REPORT
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
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.
297
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Delta Electronics, Inc.
(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, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (refer to the Other matter
section), the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material
respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial
performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing
the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
298
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:
Investments accounted for under equity method
Description
Refer to Note 4(37) in the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy on business
combination. Refer to Notes 6(9) and (30) in the consolidated financial statements for the accounting
treatment of business combination and the allocation of purchase price.
In July 2022, the subsidiary of the Company, Delta International Holding Limited B.V., acquired
100% of the share capital of UI Acquisition Holding Co. for NT$2,797,346 thousand. The allocation of
the acquisition price was completed in the first quarter of 2023. The acquisition price and the amount of
intangible assets arising from the business acquisition are significant and the net fair value of identifiable
assets and liabilities and the allocation of intangible assets are based on management’s estimation and
subjective judgement. Thus, we considered the purchase price allocation for the above business combination
a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following procedures for the above key audit matter:
A. Assessed the appropriateness and objectivity of the appraisers appointed by the management.
B. Reviewed identification of intangible assets, fair value measurement of identifiable intangible assets,
discount rates and the reasonableness of goodwill calculation in the purchase price allocation report
prepared by external experts.
299
DELTA ELECTRONICS (NORWAY) AS, Delta Controls Inc., Delta Greentech (China) Co., Ltd.,
March Network Holdings Ltd., Amerlux LLC, and Trihedral Engineering Limited amounted to
NT$18,324,143 thousand. As the balance of goodwill acquired from the merger is material, the
assumptions used in assessing goodwill impairment involves material accounting estimates which are
complex and have high uncertainty. Thus, we considered the impairment assessment of goodwill a key
audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
We performed the following procedures for the above key audit matter:
A. Understood the process of goodwill impairment assessment, obtained the assessment form provided
by management, and assessed whether the valuation models adopted by management are reasonable
for the industry, environment, and the valued assets of the Company.
B. Assessed the reasonableness of material assumptions, such as future cash flows, expected growth
rates, operating margin, and discount rates, by:
(a) Checking the setting of parameters of valuation models and calculation formulas;
(b) Confirming whether the expected future cash flows are in agreement with the budget provided
by the business units;
(c) Comparing the expected growth rate and operating margin with historical data, economic and
industrial forecast documents; and
(d) Comparing the discount rate with cost of capital assumptions of cash generating units and rates
of return of similar assets.
C. Performed a sensitivity analysis on the value of significant assumptions to assess the risk of
impairment of goodwill if there is a change in significant assumptions.
We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for under the equity
method and information on investees disclosed in Note 13. Therefore, our opinion expressed herein,
insofar as it relates to the amounts included in respect of these associates, is based solely on the reports
of the other auditors. The balance of these investments accounted for under the equity method amounted
300
to NT$38,977,447 thousand and NT$31,866,553 thousand, constituting 12.50% and 11.10% of total
assets as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively, and the comprehensive income recognised from
associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method amounted to NT$10,683,648
thousand and NT$8,588,314 thousand, constituting 32.96% and 18.64% of the total comprehensive
income for the years then ended, respectively.
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 the parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement,
whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing
the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going
concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate
the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the
Company’s financial reporting process.
301
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 the override of internal control;
2. 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;
3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting
estimates and related disclosures made by management;
4. 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
302
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;
5. 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.
6. 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.
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
year 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.
303

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 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
judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a
higher degree of judgment 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 parent company only financial statements are measured using the currency of
the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (the “functional currency”). The
parent company only financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the
Company’s functional and presentation currency.
314
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, except when deferred in other
comprehensive income as qualifying cash flow hedges.
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are
retranslated 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 as part of the fair value gain
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 an associate or joint arrangements,
exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately
reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even the Company
still retains partial interest in the former foreign associate or joint arrangements after losing
significant influence over the former foreign associate, or losing joint control of the former
joint arrangements, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these
foreign operations.
(c) 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 the Company still
retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign
315
subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign
operation.
(d) 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.
(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 12 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 12 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 12 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) 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. Financial assets at amortised
cost or fair value through other comprehensive income are designated as at fair value through
profit or loss at initial recognition when they eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or
recognition inconsistency.
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.
316
(6) 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
initial recognition to recognise changes in fair value in other comprehensive income.
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. They are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. These financial assets are
subsequently remeasured and stated 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.
(7) 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. 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.
(8) 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.
(9) Impairment of financial assets
For financial assets at amortised cost including accounts receivable or contract assets that have a
significant financing component, 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.
(10) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the
Company has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; however,
317
the Company has not retained control of the financial asset.
(11) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. The cost of finished goods and
work in process comprises raw materials, direct labour, other director costs and related production
overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. 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.
(12) Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as assets held for sale when their carrying amount is to be recovered
principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use, and a sale is considered
highly probable. They are stated at the lower of carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell.
(13) Investments accounted for under equity method /subsidiaries and associates
A. Subsidiaries are all entities controlled by the Company (including structured entries). 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 or losses on transactions between the Company and subsidiaries have been
eliminated. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries are consistent 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 continues to recognise losses proportionate
to its ownership.
D. If changes in the Company’s shares in subsidiaries do not result in loss in control (transactions
with non-controlling interest), transactions shall be considered as equity transactions, which are
transactions between 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.
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 Company 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.
F. Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control. In
318
general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or
indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are
accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost. The Company’s
investments in associates include goodwill identified on acquisition, net of any accumulated
impairment loss arising through subsequent assessments.
G. The Company’s share of its associates’ 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 an associate equals or
exceeds its interest in the associate (including any other unsecured receivables), the Company
does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made
payments on behalf of the associate.
H. When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive
income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Company’s ownership percentage of
the associate, the Company recognises the Company’s share of the change in equity of the
associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
I. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to the
extent of the Company’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless
the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies
of associates are consistent with the policies adopted by the Company.
J. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Company does not subscribe or acquire
new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Comapny’s ownership percentage
of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital surplus’ and
‘investments accounted for under the equity method’ shall be adjusted for the increase or
decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Company’s
ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts
previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified
to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or
liabilities were disposed of.
K. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Company remeasures any investment
retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying
amount is recognised in profit or loss.
L. When the Company disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over
this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to
the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the
relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate,
the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate
are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
M. Pursuant to the Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers,
profit (loss) of the current period and other comprehensive income in the parent company only
financial statements shall equal to the amount attributable to owners of the parent in the
consolidated financial statements. Owners’ equity in the parent company only financial
319
statements shall equal to equity attributable to owners of the parent in the consolidated financial
statements.
(14) Cash surrender value of life insurance
Premium paid for life insurance with saving nature belonging to cash surrender value is recognised
as a deduction to insurance premium expense in current period and is added to the carrying amount
of cash surrender value.
(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
(lease allocates its cost over contractual period). 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 asset’s residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if
appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the asset’s residual values and useful
lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the asset’s 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 2~15 years except for buildings, the estimated life of which is 5~55 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.
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 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.
320
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; and
(b) Any lease payments made at or before the commencement date.
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.
(17) Intangible assets
A. Trademarks
(a) Separately acquired trademarks with finite useful lives are stated at acquisition cost and are
amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives.
(b) Certain trademarks which are assessed to generate net cash inflows and have indefinite useful
lives are recorded at actual cost. These are not amortised and instead, are tested for
impairment annually.
B. Goodwill arising from a short-form merger with the subsidiary is recognised pursuant to Article
19 of Enterprises Mergers and Acquisitions Act.
C. Intangible assets other than trademarks and goodwill, mainly computer software and patents, are
amortised on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives, which are determined based
on economic useful lives or contract terms.
(18) Impairment of non-financial assets
A. 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. When the circumstances or
reasons for recognising 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.
B. The recoverable amounts of goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and
intangible assets that have not yet been available for use should be 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 entity at which the goodwill is
monitored for internal management purposes. Goodwill is monitored at the operating segment
level.
321
(19) 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.
(20) Accounts payable
Accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary
course of business from suppliers. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently
measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. However, short-term accounts
payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect
of discounting is immaterial, they are measured subsequently at original invoice amount.
(21) Derecognition of financial liabilities
A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation specified in the contract is discharged,
cancelled or expired.
(22) 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.
(23) Bonds payable
Ordinary corporate bonds issued by the company are initially recognised at fair value less transaction
costs. Any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is
presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortised to profit or loss
over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method as an adjustment to ‘finance
costs’.
(24) 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 plan
For the defined contribution plan, 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 plan
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 plan is the present value of the defined benefit
322
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 plan 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.
(25) 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 charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively
enacted at the balance sheet date. 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 parent
company only financial statements. 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 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
will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet
date, unrecognised and recognised deferred tax assets are reassessed.
323
E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported 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.
(26) Share capital
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.
(27) 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.
(28) Revenue recognition
A. Sales of goods
(a) The Company manufactures and sells power supply of computers, information technology,
vehicles and electrical machines, automation equipment and related components products.
Sales are recognised when control of the products has transferred, being when the products
are delivered to the customer, the customer has full discretion over the channel and price to
sell the products, and there is no unfulfilled obligation that could affect the customers’
acceptance of the products. 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 is recognised based on the price specified in the contract, net of the estimated
discounts and allowances. 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. A refund liability is
recognised for expected sales discounts and allowances payable to customers in relation to
sales made until the end of the reporting period. Sales are usually made with a credit term of
30 to 90 days after acceptance. 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) The Company’s obligation to provide a refund for faulty products under the standard warranty
terms is recognised as a provision.
(d) A receivable is recognised when the control of goods is transferred 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.
B. Installation of software and module services
(a) The Company provides installation of some software and module services. Revenue from
providing services is recognised in the accounting period in which the services are rendered.
For fixed-price contracts, revenue is recognised based on the actual service provided to the
end of the reporting period as a proportion of the total services to be provided. This is
324
determined based on the actual cost spent relative to the total expected cost. The customer
pays at the time specified in the payment schedule. If the services rendered exceed the
payment, a contract asset is recognised. If the payments exceed the services rendered, a
contract liability is recognised.
(b) Some contracts include sales and installation services of equipment. The equipment and the
installation services provided by the Company are not distinct and are identified to be one
performance obligation satisfied over time since the installation services involve significant
customisation and modification.
(c) The Company’s estimate about revenue, costs and progress towards complete satisfaction of
a performance obligation is subject to a revision whenever there is a change in circumstances.
Any increase or decrease in revenue or costs due to an estimate revision is reflected in profit
or loss during the period when the management becomes aware of the changes in
circumstances.
C. Revenue from licencing intellectual property
The Company is entitled to collect usage-based royalty in return for licencing patented
technologies and intellectual property rights to subsidiaries under agreements. The Company
recognises revenue when the performance obligation has been satisfied and the subsequent usage
occurs.
D. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract
Given that the contractual period lasts less than one year, the Company recognises the
incremental costs of obtaining a contract as an expense when incurred although the Company
expects to recover those costs.
(29) Government grants
Government grants are recognised at their fair value only when there is reasonable assurance that
the Company will comply with any 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
compensate or Government grants related to property, plant and equipment are presented by
deducting the grants from the asset’s carrying amount and are amortised to profit or loss over the
estimated useful lives of the related assets as reduced depreciation expenses.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION
UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these parent company only financial statements requires management to make critical
judgments 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. The Company has
no critical accounting judgments in applying accounting policies; and the critical accounting estimates
and assumptions uncertainty information is addressed below:
325
Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
The Company makes estimates and assumptions based on the expectation of future events that are
believed to be reasonable under the circumstances at the end of the reporting period. The resulting
accounting estimates might be different from the related actual results. The estimates and assumptions
that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and
liabilities within the next financial year are addressed below:
Impairment assessment of investments accounted for using equity method
The Company assesses the impairment of an investment accounted for using equity method as soon as
there is any indication that it might have been impaired and its carrying amount cannot be recovered.
The Company assesses the recoverable amounts of an investment accounted for under the equity method
based on the present value of the Company’s share of expected future cash flows of the investee, and
analyses the reasonableness of related assumptions.
6. DETAILS OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTS

A. Details of amortisation on intangible assets are as follows:
Trademarks:
Infrastructure business $ 386,823 $ 386,823
D. Goodwill and trademarks with indefinite useful lives are allocated to the Company’s cash-
generating units identified according to operating segment. The recoverable amount of all cash-
generating units has been determined based on value-in-use calculations. An impairment is
recognised when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount calculated based on value-
in-use. Value-in-use calculations take into account operating margin, growth rate and discount rate.
Management determined budgeted operating margin based on past performance and their
expectations of market development. The weighted average growth rates used are consistent with
the projection included in industry reports. The discount rates used were pre-tax and reflected
specific risks relating to the relevant operating segments.
An impairment loss of $6,287 and $417,151 were recognised for the years ended December 31,
2023 and 2022 since the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit, MES and others, was
less than the carrying amount due to its operating revenue failing to meet expectations. The
discount rates used in calculating value-in-use were 9.69% and 10.5% on December 31, 2023 and
2022, respectively.

(15) Pensions
A. Defined benefit plan
(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 Labor Standards Act. 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. If the account balance is not enough to pay the pension calculated
by the aforementioned method to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the
following year, the Company will make contribution for the deficit by next March.
(b) The amounts recognised in the balance sheet are as follows:

(d) The Bank of Taiwan was commissioned to manage the Fund of the Company’s defined
benefit pension plan 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 real estate
securitization 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 authorized by the Regulator. The Company has no
right to participate in managing and operating that fund and hence 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.
(e) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:
Years ended December 31,
2023 2022
Discount rate 1.25% 1.3%
Future salary increases rate 3.00% 3.00%
Assumptions regarding future mortality experience are set based on actuarial advice in
accordance with published statistics and experience in each territory.
Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit
obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:
Discount rate Future salary increases rate
Increase Decrease Increase Decrease
0.25% 0.25% 0.25% 0.25%
December 31, 2023
Effect on present value of defined
benefit obligation ($ 74,041) $ 76,613 $ 73,915 ($ 71,826)
The sensitivity analysis above is based on one assumption which changed while the other
conditions remain unchanged. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once.
The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the
balance sheet are the same.
(f) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plan of the Company for the year
ending December 31, 2024 amount to $43,023.
339
(g) As at December 31, 2023, the weighted average duration of the retirement plan is 9 years.
B. Defined contribution plan
Effective July 1, 2005, the Company has established a defined contribution pension plan (the
“New Plan”) under the Labor Pension Act, covering all regular employees with R.O.C.
nationality. Under the New Plan, the Company contributes monthly an amount based on 6% of
the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the
Bureau of Labor Insurance. The benefits accrued are paid monthly or in lump sum upon
termination of employment. The pension costs under the defined contribution pension plan of the
Company for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 were $591,466 and $488,926,
respectively.

B. On December 20, 2004, the Board of Directors of the Company adopted a resolution that allowed
certain stockholders to issue 16 million units of global depository receipts (GDRs), represented
by 80 million shares of common stock (Deposited Shares), with one unit of GDR representing 5
shares of common stock. After obtaining approval from SFB, these GDRs were listed on the
Securities Exchange of Luxembourg on March 29, 2005, with total proceeds of US$134,666
thousand. The issuance of GDRs was represented by outstanding shares, therefore, there is no
dilutive effect on the common shares’ equity. The main terms and conditions of the GDRs are as
follows:
(a) Voting rights
GDR holders may, pursuant to the Depositary Agreement and the relevant laws and
regulations of the R.O.C., exercise the voting rights pertaining to the underlying common
shares represented by the GDRs.
(b) Redemption of GDRs
For sales and redemption of the underlying common shares represented by the GDRs when
the holders of the GDRs request the Depositary to redeem the GDRs in accordance with the
relevant R.O.C. regulations and the provisions in the Depositary Agreement, the Depositary
may (i) deliver the underlying common shares represented by the GDRs to the GDR holders,
or (ii) sell the underlying common shares represented by the GDRs in the R.O.C. stock market
on behalf of the GDR holder. The payment of proceeds from such sale shall be made subject
to the relevant R.O.C. laws and regulations and the provisions in the Depositary Agreement.
(c) Distribution of dividends, preemptive rights and other rights
Distribution of dividends, preemptive rights and other rights and interests of GDR units bear
the same rights as common shares.
340
(d) After considering the stock dividend distribution year by year, as at December 31, 2023, there
were 254 thousand units outstanding, representing 1,272 thousand common shares of the
Company’s common stock.
(17) Capital surplus
Pursuant to the R.O.C. Company Law, capital surplus arising from paid-in capital in excess of par
value on issuance of common stocks and donations can be used to cover accumulated deficit or to
issue new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, provided that the
Company has no accumulated deficit. Further, the R.O.C. Securities and Exchange Law requires
that the amount of capital surplus to be capitalised mentioned above should not exceed 10% of the
paid-in capital each year. Capital surplus should not be used to cover accumulated deficit unless the
legal reserve is insufficient.

A. Under the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the current year’s earnings, if any, shall be
distributed in the following order:
(a) Payment of all taxes and dues.
(b) Offset against prior years’ operating losses, if any.

the legal reserve has reached the total authorised capital of the Company.
(d) Setting aside or reversing a special reserve according to relevant regulations when necessary.
(e) The remainder along with beginning unappropriated earnings shall be shareholders’ bonus.
The appropriation of earnings shall be proposed by the Board of Directors and resolved by

expenditures and reinvestment, the amount of dividends distributed to shareholders shall not
be lower than 50% of post-tax profit for the current year. Cash dividends shall be at least 15%
of the total dividends distributed to shareholders.
B. Except for covering accumulated deficit or issuing new stocks or cash to shareholders in
proportion to their share ownership, the legal reserve shall not be used for any other purpose.
The use of legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their
share ownership is permitted, provided that the distribution of the reserve is limited to the portion
in excess of 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital.
C. (a) In accordance with the regulations, the Company shall set aside special reserve from the debit
balance on other equity items at the balance sheet date before distributing earnings. When
debit balance on other equity items is reversed subsequently, the reversed amount could be
included in the distributable earnings.
(b) The amounts previously set aside by the Company as special reserve on initial application of
IFRSs in accordance with Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi Letter No. 1010012865, dated April 6, 2012,
shall be reversed proportionately when the relevant assets are used, disposed of or reclassified

participation in the operations of the Company and the value of their contribution to the Company,
and shall be determined by referring to the industry salary benchmark. Independent directors may
be remunerated differently from general directors. An independent director who serves as

gender, religion, political affiliation, marital status, etc. The annual salary increase budget is
about 3 ~ 5% based on the principle that the employee’s salary is in line with the market condition
and fairness. The employees’ compensation is, based on their position, contribution, and
performance, offered to encourage the employees to focus on long-term contribution to and build
mutual benefit and prosperity with the Company.

$128,075 (including the estimated amount for the long-term incentive plan) and $55,008,
respectively. The aforementioned amounts were recognised in salary expenses. The final payout
for the long-term incentive plan will be determined based on the performance achieved in 2023.
For the year ended December 31, 2023, the employees’ compensation and directors’
remuneration were estimated and accrued based on profit of current year distributable as
prescribed by the Company’s Articles of Incorporation. The employees’ compensation of

Directors on February 29, 2024. Employees’compensation as resolved by the Board of Directors
was in agreement with the amount recognised in the 2023 financial statements. The difference

C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
(a) Market risk

from various currency exposures, primarily with respect to the USD and EUR. Foreign
exchange risk arises from future commercial transactions, recognised assets and liabilities
and net investments in foreign operations.
ii. Management has set up a policy to manage its foreign exchange risk against the functional
currency. To manage the foreign exchange risk arising from future commercial
transactions and recognised assets and liabilities, the Company has co-worked with Delta
Group treasury to hedge by using forward foreign exchange contracts and foreign
exchange swap contracts.
iii. The Company’s businesses involve some non-functional currency operations. The
information on assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies whose values
would be materially affected by the exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

Price risk
i. The Company’s equity securities, which are exposed to price risk, are the held financial
assets 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.
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 price of these equity securities had increased/decreased
by 1% with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the years ended December
31, 2023 and 2022 would have increased/decreased by $22,589 and $338, respectively, as
a result of gain/loss on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss.
Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by $12,666 and $12,685,
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
The Company’s main interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings and bonds payable.
Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risk which
is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings and bonds
payable issued at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest rate risk. The
Company’s borrowings mainly bear variable interest rates and bonds payable bear fixed
interest rates. During 2023 and 2022, the Company’s borrowings at variable rates were
denominated in NTD and USD, and bonds payable at fixed rates were denominated in NTD.
On December 31, 2023 and 2022, if the interest rate increases by 0.25%, with all other
variables held constant, profit, net of tax for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022
would have decreased by $43,795 and $64,433, respectively. The main factor is that changes
in interest expense result from floating rate borrowings.
358
(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 financial instruments which were settled in
accordance with trading conditions.
ii. According to the Company’s credit policy, each local entity in 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.
iii. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits
set by the credit controller. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.
iv. For banks and financial institutions, only well rated parties are accepted.
v. The Company adopts the assumption under IFRS 9, that is, if the contract payments are
past due over 180 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit
risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
vi. The Company adopts the assumption under IFRS 9, that is, the default occurs when the
contract payments are not expected to be recovered and are transferred to overdue
receivables.
vii. The Company classifies customers’ accounts receivable and contract assets in accordance
with customer types. The Company applies the simplified approach using the provision
matrix and loss rate methodology to estimate expected credit loss.

(c) Liquidity risk
i. Company treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to
ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs.
ii. The table below analyses the Company’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-

Long-term borrowings 149,704 30,440,758 1,818,534 -
iii. The Company does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated
through the maturity date analysis to be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash
flow amount to be significantly different.
(3) Fair value information
A. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of
financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:
Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the
entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a
market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient
frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the
asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
B. The carrying amounts of financial instruments not measured at fair value including cash and cash
equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, short-term borrowings, other receivables,
accounts payable, other payables and long-term borrowings are approximate to their fair values.
361
C. The related information on financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by
level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities is as follows:
December 31, 2023 Level 1 Level 2 Level 3 Total
Assets
Recurring fair value measurements
Financial assets at fair value
through profit or loss
Equity instruments $ 2,258,892 $ - $ - $ 2,258,892
Financial assets at fair value
through other comprehensive income
Equity instruments 1,266,616 - 85,569 1,352,185
$ 3,525,508 $ - $ 85,569 $ 3,611,077
D. The methods and assumptions that the Company used to measure fair value are as follows:
(a) The instruments that the Company used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is,
Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:
Listed shares
Market quoted price Closing price
(b) Except for financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial
instruments is measured by using valuation techniques that are approved for financial
management.
(c) When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, the Company
adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the
valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the
market.
(d) The output of valuation model is an estimated value and the valuation technique may not be
able to capture all relevant factors of the Company’s financial and non-financial instruments.
Therefore, the estimated value derived using the valuation model is adjusted accordingly with
additional inputs. In accordance with the Company’s management policies and relevant
control procedures relating to the valuation models used for fair value measurement,
362
management believes adjustment to valuation is necessary in order to reasonably represent
the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments at the parent company only balance
sheet. The inputs and pricing information used during valuation are carefully assessed and
adjusted based on current market conditions.
(e) The Company takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of
financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty.
E. In October 2023, the Company converted the convertible bonds of Lanner Electronics Inc. into
common stock. Therefore, the Company transferred the fair value from Level 2 to Level 1 at the
end of the month when the event occurred. For the year ended December 31, 2022, there was no
transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
F. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and
2022:
2023 2022
Equity securities Equity securities
At January 1 $ 75,112 $ 82,176
Losses recognised in other comprehensive
income ( 2,703) -
Gains recognised in profit or loss - 189
Acquired during the year 13,160 -
Disposals during the year - ( 4,774)
Others - ( 2,479)
At December 31 $ 85,569 $ 75,112
G. Investment department is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being
categorised within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments.
Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent
information to make results close to current market conditions and periodical review.
The capital department establishes valuation policies, valuation processes and ensures
compliance with the related requirements in IFRS. The related valuation results are reported to
the management monthly. The management is responsible for managing and reviewing valuation
processes.
H. The following is the quantitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity
analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair
value measurement:

I. The Company’s valuation techniques are based on the most recent non-active market price after
carefully assessing the valuation models and assumptions used to measure fair value. However,
use of different valuation models or assumptions may result in different measurement. The
following is the effect on profit or loss or on other comprehensive income from financial assets
categorised within Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 if the inputs used to
valuation models have changed:
