INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT
The Board ofDirectors and Shareholders Chroma ATE Inc.
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Chroma ATE Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Group") as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 and for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the nine months then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements"). Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope of Review
Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standards on Review Engagements of the Republic of China 2410 "Review of Interim Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity". A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Basis for Qualified Conclusion
The financial statements of some non-significant subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements were not reviewed. As of September 30, 2025 and 2024, the combined total assets of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$4,l01,618 thousand and NT$7,483,096 thousand, respectively, representing 10% and 21%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and the combined total liabilities of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$1,564,770 thousand and NT$1,853,836 thousand, respectively, representing 12% and 16%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities. The amounts of unreviewed comprehensive income for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were NT$587,972 thousand and NT$184,841 thousand, respectively, representing 11% and 12%, respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income; the amounts of unreviewed comprehensive income for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were NT$612,822 thousand and NT$986,782 thousand, respectively, representing 7% and 23%, respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income. In addition, as disclosed in Note 13 to the consolidated financial statements, these investment amounts were calculated and disclosed on the basis of the unreviewed financial statements of the investees as of and for the same
reporting periods as those of the Corporation. The carrying values of investments accounted for using the equity method were NT$4,961,546 thousand and NT$4,508,984 thousand, respectively, representing 12% and 13% of the consolidated total assets as of September 30, 2025 and 2024; the related shares of comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were NT$368,751 thousand and NT$67,337 thousand, respectively, representing 7% and 4%, respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income; the related shares of comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 were NT$285,127 thousand and NT$571,634 thousand, respectively, representing 3% and 13%, respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income.
Qualified ConclusionBased on our reviews, with the exception of the matter described in the preceding paragraph, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, its consolidated financial performance for the three months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the nine months ended September 30, 2025 and 2024 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
The engagement partners on the reviews resulting in this independent auditors' review report are Yi-Wen Wang and Yih-Shin Kao.

The initial application of the IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC did not have a material impact on the Group's accounting policies.

Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 "Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial
Instruments" - The amendments to the application guidance of derecognition of financial liabilities
The amendments mainly stipulate that a financial liability is derecognized on the settlement date. However, when settling a financial liability in cash using an electronic payment system, the Group can choose to derecognize the financial liability before the settlement date if, and only if, the Group has initiated a payment instruction that resulted in:
The Group having no practical ability to withdraw, stop or cancel the payment instruction;
The Group having no practical ability to access the cash to be used for settlement as a result of the payment instruction; and
The settlement risk associated with the electronic payment system being insignificant.
An entity shall apply the amendments retrospectively but is not required to restate prior periods. The effect of initially applying the amendments shall be recognized as an adjustment to the opening balance at the date of initial application. An entity may restate prior periods if, and only if, it is possible to do so without the use of hindsight.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impacts of the application of the amendments on the Group's financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

Note 1: Unless stated otherwise, the above IFRS Accounting Standards are effective for annual reporting periods beginning on or after their respective effective dates.
Note 2: On September 25, 2025, the FSC announced that IFRS 18 will take effect starting from January 1, 2028. Domestic entities could elect to apply IFRS 18 for an earlier period after the endorsement of IFRS 18 by the FSC.
IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements"
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". The main changes comprise:
Items of income and expenses included in the statement of profit or loss shall be classified into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories.
The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Group shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Group shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Group labels items as "other" only if it cannot find a more informative label.
Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management's view of an aspect of the financial performance of the Group as a whole, the Group shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Group's financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.

SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IAS 34 "Interim Financial Reporting" as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC. Disclosure information included in the consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosure information required in a complete IFRS Accounting Standards.
Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at fair values, and net defined benefit liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
Basis of consolidation
The basis of preparing the consolidated financial statements is consistent with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Refer to Note 12, Table 7 and Table 8 for the detailed information of subsidiaries, including the percentages of ownership and main businesses.
Other material accounting policies
Except for the following, please refer to the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. To meet the criteria for the sale being highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be committed to the sale, and the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within 1 year from the date of classification.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Such assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated.
Retirement benefits
Pension cost for an interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.
Income tax expense
Income tax expense represent the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax. Interim period income taxes are assessed on an annual basis and calculated by applying to an interim period's pre-tax income the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.
-
MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
The same material accounting judgments and key sources of estimates and uncertainty have been followed in these consolidated financial statements as were applied in the preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading. Instead, they are held for medium to long-term strategic purposes. Refer to Table 3 for the detailed information. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments' fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group's strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.

The average credit period for sales of goods is 60 to 120 days from the date. Before accepting any new customer, the Group uses the bank's credit investigation or external credit scoring system to assess the potential customer's credit quality and defines credit limits by customer. Management will review the credit limit and rating of customers as needed.
The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated by reference to the past default experience and the current financial position, in which the debtors operate. As the Group's historical credit loss experience does not show other factors that matter significantly, the expected credit loss rate is based on the past due status of trade receivables.
The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

Retained earnings and dividends policy
Under the dividends policy as set forth in the Corporation's Articles of Incorporation (the "Articles"), where the Corporation made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit, the Corporation is not required to set aside legal reserve where the legal reserve amounts to the total authorized capital and setting aside or reversing special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Corporation's board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders' meeting for distribution of dividends and bonus to shareholders. For the abovementioned distribution of earnings, the board of directors was authorized to adopt a special resolution to distribute dividends and bonuses in cash and a report of such distribution should be submitted in the shareholders' meeting. For the policies on distribution of employees' compensation of employees and remuneration to directors, refer to employees' compensation of employees and remuneration of directors in Note 21 (c).
Taking into account future capital expenditure requirements and its cash position, the total of cash dividends paid in any given year may not be less than 20% of total dividends distributed in that year. The final amount, type and percentage of the cash dividends and share dividends are subject to actual earnings and capital requirements of the Corporation in a particular year.
The legal reserve may be used to offset deficit. If the Corporation has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Corporation's paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.
When a special reserve is appropriated for cumulative net debit balance reserves from the prior period, the special reserve is only appropriated from the prior unappropriated earnings.
The appropriations of earnings for 2024 and 2023 were as follows:
Appropriation of Earnings Dividends Per Share (NT$) For Fiscal Year 2024 For Fiscal Year 2023 For Fiscal Year 2024 For Fiscal Year 2023Legal reserve $ 513,142 $ 394,685
Cash dividends 3,827,898 2,807,405 $9.0 $6.6
Special reserves
If a special reserve appropriated on the first-time adoption of IFRS Accounting Standards relates to exchange differences on translation of the financial statements of foreign operations (including the subsidiaries of the Corporation), the special reserve of $86,888 thousand will be reversed on a proportionate basis according to the Corporation's disposal of foreign operations; on the Corporation's loss of significant influence, however, the entire special reserve will be reversed. Additional special reserve should be appropriated for the amount equal to the difference between net debit balance reserves and the special reserve appropriated on the first-time adoption of IFRS Accounting Standards. Any special reserve appropriated may be reversed to the extent that the net debit balance reverses and is thereafter distributed.
