FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
a.Fair value of financial instruments that are not measured at fair value
Financial instruments not measured at fair value held by the Company included financial assets and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost. The management considered that the carrying amounts of these financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value approximated their fair values or the fair values could not be measured reliably.
b.Fair value of financial instruments that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis

There were no transfers between the levels of the fair value hierarchy for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023. The Company did not measure any financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value on a non-recurring basis as of December 31, 2025 and 2024.

For recurring fair value measurements categorized within Level 3 of the fair value hierarchy, unrealized gains of $2.2 million and $25.0 million were recognized in profit or loss attributable to balances held at the end of the reporting period as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The amounts were included in “Gains on financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss” in profit or loss.

iv.Valuation processes for fair value measurements categorized within level 3 of the fair value hierarchy
The Company engaged third party qualified valuers to perform the valuation where significant unobservable inputs were used in the fair value measurements. The financial department worked closely with the qualified external valuers to establish the appropriate valuation techniques and inputs to the model and confirmed the reliability, independence and correspondence of the information sources in the valuation.

e.Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s financial risk management objective is to monitor and manage the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. In order to minimize the effect of financial risks, the Company devoted time and resources to identify and evaluate the uncertainty of the market to mitigate risk exposures.
i.Market risk
The Company’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates.
1)Foreign currency risk
The Company undertook transactions denominated in foreign currencies; consequently, exposures to exchange rate fluctuations arose.
Sensitivity analysis
Since the primary operating entities of the Company are located in Taiwan, which mainly transact in New Taiwan dollars (NTD), those entities were mainly exposed to the fluctuations of USD.
The following table details the Company’s sensitivity to a 1% increase in NTD against USD. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items. A positive number below indicated a decrease in pre-tax loss or an increase in equity associated with a 1% strengthening of NTD against USD. For a 1% weakening of NTD against USD, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax loss and equity, and the balances below would be negative.

Profit or loss$(76)$(78)$(90)
Equity1,132 1,439 2,106 
2)Interest rate risk
The Company was exposed to interest rate risk because the entities in the Company borrowed funds at both fixed and floating interest rates. The Company’s interest rate risk was mainly concentrated in the fluctuation of the benchmark interest rate arising from cash and cash equivalents - time deposits, other financial assets, short-term borrowings, long-term borrowings, financial liabilities at amortized cost, financial liabilities designated as at FVTPL and leasing liabilities. The carrying amount of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows.
As of December 31,
20252024
Fair value interest rate risk
Financial assets$23,945 $80,637 
Financial liabilities27,572 39,066 
Cash flow interest rate risk
Financial assets49,246 46,765 
Financial liabilities361,731 357,205 
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Company’s exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analyses were prepared assuming the amount of the outstanding liability at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 10 basis points increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 10 basis points higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s loss for the years ended December 31, 2025, 2024 and 2023 would increase/decrease by $0.3 million, $0.3 million and $0.4 million, respectively.
ii.Credit risk
Credit risk referred to the risk that counterparty would default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. The Company’s credit risk was mainly arising from bank deposits, trade receivables, other financial assets and refundable deposits. The Company adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and financial institutions, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
iii.Liquidity risk
The Company managed liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash deemed adequate to finance the Company’s operations and mitigated the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitored the utilization of bank loans and ensured compliance with loan covenants.
1)Maturity analysis for non-derivative financial liabilities
The following table details the Company’s remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables had been compiled based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay. The tables included both interest and principal cash flows. To the extent that interest flows are at floating rates, the undiscounted amount was derived from the interest rate curve at the end of the reporting period.
