INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REVIEW REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd.
IntroductionWe have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of FocalTech Systems Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively, the "Company") as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the consolidated statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the three months then ended, and the related notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies(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 ReviewExcept as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Standards on Review Engagements of the Republic of China "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 ConclusionAs disclosed in Note 12 to the consolidated financial statements, the financial statements of non-significant subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph were not reviewed. As of March 31, 2025 and 2024, combined total assets of these non-significant subsidiaries were NT$3,438,906 thousand and NT$2,989,377 thousand, respectively, representing 20% and 16%, respectively, of the consolidated total assets, and combined total liabilities of these subsidiaries were NT$1,101, 491 thousand and NT$1,112,058 thousand, respectively, representing 16% and 12%, respectively, of the consolidated total liabilities; for the three months ended March 31, 2025 and 2024, the amounts of combined comprehensive income (loss) of these subsidiaries were NT$(38,532) thousand, NT$79,372 thousand respectively, representing (17%) and 31% respectively.
Qualified ConclusionBased on our reviews, except for the adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of the non-significant subsidiaries and as described in the preceding paragraph been reviewed, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not give a true and fair view of the consolidated financial position of the Group as of March 31, 2025 and 2024, its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 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 Huei-Min Huang and Chih-Ming Shao.

SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Statement of compliance
The present Consolidated Financial Report has been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs as endorsed and issued into effect by Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis of Preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis, except for financial instruments measured at fair value and the net defined benefit liabilities recognized in the amount of the present value of defined benefit obligation less the fair value of any plan assets.
The evaluation of fair value could be classified into Level 1 to Level 3 by the observable intensity and importance of related input value:
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 the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
Basis of consolidation
The detail information, holding percentages, and main business of the subsidiaries could be found in Note 12, TABLE 5 and TABLE 6.
Other significant accounting policies
Except for the following, the accounting policies applied in these consolidated financial statements are consistent with those applied in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.
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, and adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant plan amendments, settlements, or other significant one-off events.
Taxation
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 and the tax rate that would be applicable to expected total annual earnings.
-
CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
Critical accounting judgments, estimations and assumptions applied in these consolidated financial statements are consistent with those in the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024.

The average credit term for sales of goods was 30-120 days. In order to minimize credit risk, management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining line of credit, 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 accounts receivable at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowances are made for irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the Group's management believes the Group's credit risk was significantly reduced.
The Group applies the simplified approach prescribed by IFRS 9, which permits the use of allowances of expected credit losses over the lifetime for all accounts receivables. The expected credit losses on accounts receivables are estimated by using an allowance matrix with references to past customer default records,
customer's current financial position, and general economic conditions of the industry. Due to the past experiences, there is no significant difference in the loss patterns of different customer groups. Therefore, the allowance matrix does not further distinguish the customer base, and only sets the expected credit loss rate based on the overdue days of accounts receivable.
