iii.The total exchange gain (loss), including realized and unrealized, arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group for the years ended December 31, 2023, 2024 and 2025, amounted to $34, $(89) and $(265), respectively.
(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 flow of financial assets at amortized cost and at fair value through profit or loss.
ii.The Group’s credit risk was mainly arising from bank deposits, trade receivables, other financial assets and deposits. The Company adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and financial institutions to mitigate the risk of financial loss from defaults. The majority of cash and cash equivalents as well as current financial assets at amortized cost and at fair value through profit or loss are held with financial institutions with a rating of ‘A’.
iii.The default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 180 days.
iv.The Group adopts following assumptions under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition:
If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
v.The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of debt instruments has occurred:
(i)It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation due to their financial difficulties;
(ii)The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
(iii)Default or delinquency in interest or principal repayments;
(iv)Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions that are expected to cause a default.
vi.The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of accounts receivable has occurred:
(i)It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization due to their financial difficulties;
(ii)Default or delinquency in principal repayments.
vii.The Group classifies customers’ accounts receivable in accordance with geographic area and credit rating of customer. The Group applies the modified approach to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.
viii.The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights.
ix.The Group used the territory economic forecasts to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable.

xii.The loss amounts of accounts receivable allowance using simplified method were de minimis, thus, the loss was not recognized as at December 31, 2023.
xiii.The Group used the territory economic forecasts to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of debt instruments. As of December 31, 2025, the Group assessed the expected credit losses of its debt instruments measured at amortized cost in accordance with IFRS 9. The assessment indicated that the credit risk of these instruments remained low and no significant increase in credit risk had occurred during the reporting periods.
(c)Liquidity risk
i.Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by the Group’s finance department. The Group’s finance department monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs.
ii.Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working capital management are managed by the Group’s finance department. The Group’s finance department invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts and time deposits, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient head-room as determined by the above-mentioned forecasts. As at December 31, 2024 and 2025, the Group held demand deposits, time deposits and money market position of $161,992 and $159,010, respectively. The Group manages liquidity risk by ensuring that these balances are available to meet short-term cash needs. Time deposits withdrawn early receive a lower interest rate through the withdrawal date compared to the stated interest rate applicable on the nominal maturity date. However, there are no significant risk of change in value as a result of an early withdrawal for time deposits classified as cash equivalents.
iii.The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

12(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. The fair value of the Group’s investment in money market funds is included in Level 1.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
B.Financial instruments not measured at fair value
(a)Except for those listed in the table below, the carrying amounts of the Group’s financial instruments not measured at fair value (including cash and cash equivalents, current financial assets at amortized cost, accounts receivable, other receivables (including related parties), guarantee deposits paid, other payables (including related parties) and lease liabilities) are approximate to their fair values.
