The Board of Directors 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 June 30, 2026 and 2025, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 and for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and cash flows for the six 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 ofpersons 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 June 30, 2026 and 2025, the combined total assets of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$l0,723,503 thousand and NT$3,946,302 thousand, respectively, representing 17% and 10% of the consolidated total assets, and the combined total liabilities of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$3,487,892 thousand and NT$1,092,932 thousand, respectively, representing 12% and 7%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities. The amounts of unreviewed comprehensive income (loss) for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were NT$8l4,998 thousand and NT$(652,222) thousand, respectively, representing 15% and (108%), respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income; the amounts of unreviewed comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were NT$1,607,499 thousand and NT$24,850 thousand, respectively, representing 17% and 1%, 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$5,275,777 thousand and NT$4,596,165 thousand, respectively, representing 8% and 11% of the consolidated total assets as of June 30, 2026 and 2025; the related shares of comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were NT$140,655 thousand and NT$(341,344) thousand, respectively, representing 3% and (57%), respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income; the related shares of comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 were NT$340,565 thousand and NT$(83,624) thousand, respectively, representing 3% and (3%), respectively, of the consolidated total comprehensive income.
Qualified Conclusion
Based 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 June 30, 2026 and 2025, its consolidated financial performance for the three months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 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.

IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements" and consequential amendments and Amendments to IAS 28 "Amendments to the Fair Value Option for Investments in Associates and
Joint Ventures"
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements". The main changes comprise:
To classify items of income and expenses presented in the statement of profit or loss into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories, the Group shall assess whether it has specified main business activities of investing in particular types of assets and providing financing to customers.
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.
In addition, the following consequential amendments have been made to IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows":
The Group shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.
Interest and dividends received by the Group shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. However, if, after assessment, the Group has a specific main operating activity, it shall determine how to classify dividends received, interest received and interest paid in the statement of cash flows by referring to how it classifies dividend income, interest income and interest expense in the statement of profit or loss. The total of each of these cash flows shall be classified in a single category in the statement of cash flows.
The Group has decided not to apply IFRS 18 and consequential amendments earlier.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Group is continuously assessing the possible impact 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.

- SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
Statement of compliance
These interim 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 these interim consolidated financial statements is less than the disclosure information required in a complete set of annual consolidated financial statements.
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, 2025.
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, 2025.
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 represents 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, 2025.

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.

(Concluded)
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.
The aging schedule of notes receivable and trade receivables based on the past due days was as follows:
June 30, 2026 | December 31, 2025 | June 30, 2025 | |
Not past due | $ 12,082,295 | $ 7,194,180 | $ 5,076,141 |

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 to the shareholders' meeting. For the policies on distribution of compensation of employees and remuneration to directors, refer to compensation of employees and remuneration of directors in Note 21 (d).
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 2025 and 2024 were as follows:

d. 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 reserves 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.

Compensation of employees and remuneration of directors
According to the Company's Articles, the Corporation accrues compensation of employees and remuneration of directors at the rates of 5%-20% and no higher than 1.5%, respectively, of net profit before income tax, compensation of employees, and remuneration of directors. In accordance with the amendments to the Securities and Exchange Act in August 2024, the shareholders of the Corporation resolved the amendments to the Company's Articles at their 2025 shareholders meeting. The amendments explicitly stipulate at the rates of 10%-30% of the compensation of employees, which is based on accrued compensation of employees at the rates of 5%-20% of net profit before income tax, compensation of employees, and remuneration of directors, as compensation distributions for non-executive employees.
The compensation of employees and the remuneration of directors for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, which were calculated by estimated annual profit and loss, were as follows:

Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the number of shares to be distributed to employees is resolved in the following year.
- SHARE-BASED PAYMENT ARRANGEMENTS
Restricted shares for employees
In the shareholders' meeting on June 9, 2022, the shareholders approved a Restricted Share Unit Plan ("RSU" Plan) for employees with a total amount of $30,000 thousand, consisting of 3,000 thousand shares with issuance price of $40 per share. It can be issued at one time or several times depending on the circumstance. The RSU Plan was approved under Rule No. 1110346852 issued by the FSC on June 20, 2022. The Group issued 2,960 thousand shares on July 1, 2022, the subscription date. The details of RSU Plan are as follows:
Employees who are granted RSUs, upon meeting the Corporation's financial performance and personal performance indicators, are eligible to be vested 10, 20, 30 and 40 percent of the RSUs granted after 1, 2, 3 and 4 years of tenure after the subscription date, respectively.
The restrictions on the rights of the employees who are granted RSUs but have not met the vesting conditions are as follows:
The employees are not eligible to sell, pledge, transfer, donate or to dispose of any RSUs in any form.
The employees holding RSUs are entitled to receive dividends and similar purchasing rights to ordinary shares during capital increase. Dividends from RSUs are not restricted during the vesting period and are appropriated to the employees' personal account from trust account after the dividend distribution date.
Before the restricted shares are vested to the employees, the right of attendance, proposal, speech, voting and other rights of shareholders are acted by the custodian.
The RSUs should be delivered to trust custodians upon grant date. The employees cannot request for return in any manner before vesting conditions are met.
Restrictions on employee rights during delivery of new shares to the Trust, the Corporation shall act as the exclusive agent of the employees and authorize the chairman of the board (including but not limited) in negotiating, signing, amending, extending, cancelling and terminating the Trust Deed and the delivery, use and disposal instructions of the Trust Property with the Stock Trust.
If an employee fails to meet the vesting conditions, the Corporation will recall or buy back and cancel the restricted shares at issued price. If an employee voluntarily resigns, retires, disabled or decease due to occupational hazards, dismissed, be transferred to another post, violates labor contracts or working protocols substantially or abandons restricted shares, related guidelines of RSU Plan will be followed accordingly.

Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 2 fair value measurement
Foreign exchange forward contracts are evaluated using the discounted cash flow method. Future cash flows are estimated based on observable forward exchange rates at the end of the reporting period and contract forward rates, discounted at a rate that reflects the credit risk of various counterparties.
Valuation techniques and inputs applied for Level 3 fair value measurement
The fair values of convertible bonds are determined using option pricing models where the significant unobservable input is share price volatility. An increase in the share price volatility used in isolation would result in an increase in the fair value.
The fair values of domestic emerging market and unlisted equity securities, both domestically and internationally, as well as open-end beneficiary certificates, are determined using the asset approach and the market approach. Asset approach evaluates the total market value of individual asset and liability of the evaluated target, taking into account the risk factors (lack of marketability, etc.) to estimate the fair value. Market approach refers to the transaction prices in active market of the listed companies engaging in similar business, related price multiplier, transaction and information implied by the transaction price, to arrive at the fair value.

Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group's major financial instruments consist of equity and debt investments, cash and cash equivalents, receivables, long-term and short-term borrowings and trade payables. The Group's financial risk management pertains to financial risks relating to the operations of the Group, including currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group seeks to identify, evaluate and hedge against market uncertainties to lower the effect of market changes on the Group's financial performance.
The Group manages foreign exchange risk through setting up of foreign currency deposit bank accounts and through the use of foreign currency directly received from sale to pay for purchases in foreign currency to reduce the impact of foreign exchange fluctuation and to achieve a natural hedge effect. The Group actively observes the exchange rate information to fully control the foreign currency hedge.
Market risk
The Group's activities expose it primarily to the financial risks of changes in exchange rates (see item (a) below), interest rates (see item (b) below) and price (see item (c) below).
There has been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks are managed and measured.
Foreign currency risk
Based on the approval range of policy, the Group managed the partial foreign currency risk through foreign exchange forward contracts.
The carrying amounts of the Group's foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) at the end of the reporting period are set out in Note 30.
Sensitivity analysis
The Group was mainly exposed to the USD and RMB.
Had the NTD strengthened by 5% against the relevant currency, the pre-tax profit would have decreased by $641,149 thousand and $240,453 thousand for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The 5% sensitivity rate is used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis includes only outstanding foreign currency-denominated monetary items and their translation at period-end is adjusted for a 5% change in foreign-currency rates.
Interest rate risk
The Group is exposed to interest rate risk because entities in the Group borrow funds both at fixed and floating interest rates. The Group evaluates hedging activities regularly to align with interest rate views and defined risk appetite and ensures that the most cost-effective hedging strategies are applied.
The carrying amounts of the financial assets and liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the end of the reporting period were as follows:

2,260,510
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below has been determined on the basis of the exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at balance sheet dates. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the balance sheet dates was outstanding for the whole year. A-50 basis point 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 50 basis points higher and all other variables were held constant, the Group's pre-tax profit for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 would have increased by $7,146 thousand and $4,715 thousand, respectively.
Price risk
The Group is exposed to equity price risks mainly arising from the following:
Investments in financial assets at FVTOCI (mainly investments in domestic and foreign shares), which are held for strategic rather than trading purposes. The Group does not actively trade these investments.
Investments in financial assets at FVTPL (mainly investments in domestic and foreign open-ended beneficiary certificates and listed shares in Taiwan).
The Group manages risk through holding various investment portfolios and having each equity investment to get prior approval from the Group's management.
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.
If prices had been 5% higher, the pre-tax profit for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 would have increased by $197,596 thousand and $85,226 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair values of financial assets at FVTPL, and the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2026 and 2025 would have increased by $86,245 thousand and $72,115 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair values of financial assets at FVTOCI.
Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Group. At the end of the year, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk is mainly resulted from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets.
The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults.
To maintain the quality of trade receivables, the Group established operating procedures related to credit risk management to manage credit risks. Risk factors associated with individual customers include a customer's financial condition, internal credit rating, transaction history, current macroeconomic environment and other items that might affect a customer's ability to pay.
In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Group's credit risk was significantly reduced. The Group writes off trade receivables when there is evidence 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.
The credit risk of bank deposits, fixed-income financial instruments and other financial instruments are evaluated, managed and controlled by the Group's financial department. The Group's exposure to credit risk was limited because the Group adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties.
Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by managing and maintaining sufficient cash and cash equivalents to supply the Group's demand and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flow. The Group continuously monitors the use of credit lines and conformity to loan terms.
The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of June 30, 2026, December 31, 2025 and June 30, 2025, the Group's available unutilized bank loan facilities were
$7,919,738 thousand, $7,565,120 thousand and $7,696,188 thousand, respectively. Liquidity and interest risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities
The following tables detail the Group's remaining contractual maturity for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables have been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay.
Bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed repayment dates.

After considering the financial position of the Group, management does not expect the banks will execute their rights of requiring the Group to repay the bank loans immediately. In addition, management believes the operating funds of the Corporation and subsidiaries are sufficient to meet cash flow demand; thus, liquidity risk is not considered significant.
The Group's operating funds are sufficient to meet its cash flow demand, as a result, the Group does not use its overdraft limit.
