INDEPENDENT AUDITOR’S REPORT
Audit Opinion
We have audited the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of GameSparcs Co., Ltd. (the
"Company") as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the Parent company only statements of
comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes
to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements, including a summary of significant
accounting policies.
In our opinion, the Parent Company Only Financial Statements present fairly, in all material
respects, as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its individual financial performance and its
cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the
Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and
Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards
generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are
further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only
Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance
with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China,
and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements.
We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a
basis for our opinion.
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most
significance in our audit of the company’s financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2022. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Company’s financial
statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate
opinion on these matters.
Key audit matter for the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022
is stated as follows:
3
Revenue Recognition
Description
Refer to Note 4 (23), 5(2)A and 6(17) to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.
The operating revenue of the Company mainly comes from the agency and online games
operation. The company's performance obligation is not fulfilled upon the sale of game points
after the players have stored the value, but is satisfied when the players use the game points in
the future. Therefore, management recognizes revenue from the sale of game points as a
contractual liability at the time of sale and allocates it as revenue over the estimated period of
the players' remaining games. Consequently, the revenue recognition is identified as a key audit
matter.
Audit procedures
‧ Understanding and examining the online gaming revenue recognition process in order to
evaluate and test internal control over gaming revenue recognition.
‧ We sampled the reconciliation and collection between the company and the game platform.
Emphasized matters - Restated the financial statements for the year ended December
31, 2021
The accountant had been issued an unqualified opinion on the Company in March 23, 2021.
As mentioned in note 4 (24), The Aqura Technology Co., Ltd. had been merged on December
31, 2022, which was restructuring in groups. In accordance with the regulations, the company
had been merged with the Aqura Technology Co., Ltd. and had to restate the Company’s
financial statements as of December 31, 2021. The Accountant had not modified the opinion of
the Company’s financial statements as of December 31, 2021.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged With Governance for the Parent
Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the Parent Company
Only Financial Statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of
Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines
is necessary to enable the preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Statements that are
free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
4
In preparing the Parent Company Only Financial Statements, management is responsible for
assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable,
matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless
management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic
alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible
for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Parent Company Only
Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or
error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high
level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing
standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material
misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered
material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the
economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these Parent Company Only Financial
Statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic
of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout
the audit. We also:
1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial
statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive
to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis
for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional
omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit
procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing
an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
5
related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to
continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are
required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent
company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our
auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to
continue as a going concern.
5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Parent Company Only
Financial Statements, including the disclosures, and whether the Parent Company Only
Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that
achieves fair presentation.
6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the
entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the Parent
Company Only Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and
performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the
planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant
deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with
relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all
relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence,
and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those
matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Parent Company Only Financial
Statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 and are therefore the key audit matters. We
describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public
disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a
matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing
so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such
communication.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these Parent Company Only
Financial Statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the
periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
The Parent Company Only Financial Statements of the Company have been prepared in
accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities
Issuers”.
A. The Parent Company Only Financial Statements have been prepared on the historical cost
basis except other comprehensive income measured by fair value financial assets.
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting
Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC
Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”)
requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to
exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The
areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and
estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
Items included in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements of the Company’s entities are
measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates
(the “functional currency”). The Parent Company Only Financial Statements are presented in
New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company’s functional and presentation currency.
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange
rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are re-measured.
Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are
recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are
retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences
arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss.
16
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value
through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet
date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and
liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive
income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their
translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However,
nonmonetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured
at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial
transactions.
(d) All other foreign exchange gains and losses based on the nature of those transactions are
presented in the statement of comprehensive income within other gains and losses.
(a) The operating results and financial position of all the Company’s associates and joint
arrangements that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are
translated into the presentation currency as follows:
i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing
exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at
average exchange rates of that period; and
iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
(b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate or joint arrangement,
exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately
reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even when the
Company retains partial interest in the former foreign associate or joint arrangement after
losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, or losing joint control of the
former joint arrangement, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest
in these foreign operations.
(c) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange
differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately
transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when
the Company retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of
the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all
interest in the foreign operation.
17
(d) Goodwill and fair value adjustments arising on the acquisition of a foreign entity are treated
as assets and liabilities of the foreign entity and translated at the closing exchange rates at
the balance sheet date.
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they
are classified as non-current assets:
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be
sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
(c) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
(d) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are
to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet
date.
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise
they are classified as non-current liabilities:
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
(c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than
twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of
the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its
classification.
Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to
known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time
deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash
commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.
A. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Company a legal right to receive consideration in
exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
18
B. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently
measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
At each reporting date, for accounts receivable, the Company recognizes the impairment
provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in
credit risk since initial recognition or recognizes the impairment provision for the lifetime
expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after
taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information that includes forecasts.
On the other hand, for accounts receivable that do not contain a significant financing
component, the Company recognizes the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs.
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash
flows from the financial asset expire.
(9) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value .Cost is determined using
the weighted-average method. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of
cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the
ordinary course of business, less the estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs
necessary to make the sale.
A. A subsidiary means an entity (including a structured entity) controlled by the Company when
the Company is exposed to, or has rights to, variable reward from participation in such entity
and has the ability to influence such reward through power over such entity.
B. Unrealized profits or losses arising from transactions between the Company and its
subsidiaries have been write off. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries have been
adjusted as necessary to be consistent with the policies adopted by the Company.
C. The Company recognizes its share of profit or loss after the acquisition of a subsidiary as
profit or loss for the current period and its share of other comprehensive income as other
comprehensive income after it is acquired. If the Company’s share of the loss recognized in
19
a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company continues to
recognize a loss based on its proportionate share of the subsidiary.
D. Associates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control.
In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds,
directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in
associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.
F. When changes in an associate’s equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive
income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Company’s ownership percentage
of the associate, the Company recognizes change in ownership interests in the associate in
‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
G. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its associates are eliminated to
the extent of the Company’s interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated
unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred.
Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency
with the policies adopted by the Company.
H. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Company does not subscribe or acquire
new shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Company’s ownership
percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then ‘capital
surplus’ and‘investments accounted for under the equity method’ shall be adjusted for the
increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease
in the Company’s ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment,
the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate
are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the
relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.
I. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Company re-measures any
investment retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value
and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss.
J. When the Company disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence
over this associate, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in
relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be
required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence
20
over this associate, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in
relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with
the aforementioned approach.
K. When the Company disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence
over this associate, the amounts previously recognized as capital surplus in relation to the
associate are transferred to profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this associate,
the amounts previously recognized as capital surplus in relation to the associate are
transferred to profit or loss proportionately.
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during
the construction period are capitalized.
B. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are
depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful
lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in
relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.
C. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted
if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and
useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future
economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is
accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in
Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change.
The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
A. Leases are recognized as a right-of-use asset and a corresponding lease liability at the date at
which the leased asset is available for use by the Company. For short-term leases or leases
of low-value assets, lease payments are recognized as an expense on a straight-line basis over
the lease term.
B. Lease liabilities include the net present value of the remaining lease payments at the
commencement date, discounted using the incremental borrowing interest rate. Lease
21
payments are comprised of the following: Fixed payments, less any lease incentives
receivable. The Company subsequently measures the lease liability at amortized cost using
the interest method and recognizes interest expense over the lease term. The lease liability is
re-measured and the amount of re-measurement is recognized as an adjustment to the right-
of-use asset when there are changes in the lease term or lease payments and such changes do
not arise from contract modifications.
C. At the commencement date, the right-of-use asset is stated at cost comprising the following:
The right-of-use asset is measured subsequently using the cost model and is depreciated from
the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the asset’s useful life or the end of the
lease term. When the lease liability is re-measured, the amount of re-measurement is
recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use asset.
A. Goodwill arises in a business combination accounted for by applying the acquisition method.
B. Royalties are stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful
life of one year for online game software and copyright licenses, etc.
C. Computer software is stated at cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated
useful life of 1to 2 years.
A. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets
where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognized for the
amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The
recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use.
Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for
an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The
increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or
amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognized.
B. The recoverable amounts of goodwill, intangible assets with an indefinite useful life and
intangible assets that have not yet been available for use are evaluated periodically. An
22
impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds
its recoverable amount. Impairment loss of goodwill previously recognized in profit or loss
shall not be reversed in the following years.
(15) Borrowings
B. The short-term notes and accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently
measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation specified in the contract is either
discharged or cancelled or expires.
Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet
when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an
intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
23
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits
expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be
recognized as expense in that period when the employees render service.
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognized as pension expense when
they are due on an accrual basis.
C. Termination benefits
Termination benefits are employee benefits provided in exchange for the termination of
employment as a result from either the Company’s decision to terminate an employee’s
employment before the normal retirement date, or an employee’s decision to accept an
offer of redundancy benefits in exchange for the termination of employment. The
Company recognizes expense as it can no longer withdraw an offer of termination benefits
or it recognizes relating restructuring costs, whichever is earlier. Benefits that are expected
to be due more than 12 months after balance sheet date shall be discounted to their present
value.
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in
profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other
comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is
recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or
substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and
its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically
24
evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with
applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the
amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional tax is levied on the
unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the
stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
C. Deferred tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary
differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying
amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred tax is not accounted
for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a
transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects
neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred tax is provided on temporary
differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and associates except where the
timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is
probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future.
Deferred tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or
substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the
related deferred tax asset is realized or the deferred tax liability is settled.
D. Deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future
taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.
At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred tax assets are
reassessed.
Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue
of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the
proceeds.
(22) Dividends
Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities in the Company’s financial statements in the
period in which they are resolved by the Company’s Board of Directors. Stock dividends
are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed in the Company’s financial statements in
the period in which they are resolved by the Company’s stockholders and are reclassified
to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
25
(23) Revenue recognition
The Company, as a game platform operator, providing the players access to online games
and purchase various services or virtual goods in the games. This virtual goods could be
purchased through the game platform, earned by playing the game. Once the players pay for
the games, the Company records as a contract liability, and revenue is deferred. This liability
will be reversed, and revenue will be recognized once the Company fulfills the performance
obligation; recognize revenue from the sale of durable virtual goods ratably over the
estimated average playing period of paying players for the applicable game. Based on the
historical experiences and other known factors, the amount and period of the deferred
revenue will be estimated. Meanwhile, the Company shall inspect the reasonableness of the
estimate regularly.
B. Service revenue
The Company's service revenue from the online platform development service shall be
recognized as income upon the fulfillment of the individual performance obligations. The
service income is based on the price described in the contract.
C. Royalty revenue
(a) When the Group’s game software is authorized to the client after the Group and the client
signed the contract, such licensing may differ; thus, the recognition of the licensing income
during the licensing period is decided by the nature of the licensing or when the control of
rights is transferred to the client. When the Group carries out significant activities that
affect the game software, causing direct impacts on the authorized clients but such
activities may not transfer product or service to the client, the nature of such licensing is
the provision of the right to access the intellectual property; thus, the relevant royalties are
recognized as income on a straight-line basis during the licensing period. If the licensing
does not comply with the aforementioned conditions, the nature shall be the provision of
the right to use the intellectual property to the client; thus, it shall be recognized as income
at the time of the licensing transfer.
(b)In the Group’s licensing contract of the intellectual property, the collection of the royalties
agreed with the client is calculated on the basis of customer sales. It is recognized as
income when the performance of the obligations is fulfilled, and the subsequent customer
sales actually occur.
D. Sales of goods
26
(a) The Group sells gaming device. The sales revenue is recognized when the control of the
product is transferred to the client; that is, when the product is handed to the client who
has the discretional power on the channel and price of the sales of the product, and the
Group has no unfulfilled performance of obligations that may affect the client' acceptance
of the product. When the product is shipped to the designated location, the risk of
obsolescence and extinction is being transferred to the client, and the client must accept
the product based on the sales contract, or when there is objective evidence to prove that
all acceptance criteria have been met when the delivery of the product occurs.
(b)The sales of the gaming device is recognized with the price of the contract. The payment
conditions for sales transactions are usually due 30 days after the invoice is issued. As the
time interval between the promised product or service to the client and the payment of the
client does not exceed one year, the Group does not adjust the transaction price to reflect
the time value of the currency.
(a) According to the questions of business combination under common control which is
launched by Accounting Research and Development Foundation on October 26, 2018,

make critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies and make critical
assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ
from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical
experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of
causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next
financial year; and the related information is addressed below:
27
(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
In terms of the Company’s recognition of the online game income, it is deferred when the
game price is charged and is listed as “contract liability”. After points are being deducted, it

amount and period of the possible deferment will be estimated. The Company will inspect

interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative and non-derivative financial instruments, and
investment of circulating capital by working closely with the various operating units within
the Company.
Currency risk
i. Company operates on a multinational basis and is therefore exposed to currency risk arising
from transactions that are different from the functional currencies of the Company,
primarily the USD and HKD. The related currency risk arises from future business
transactions and recognized assets and liabilities.
ii. The Company shall hedge its overall currency risk through the Finance Department.
Currency risk is measured through highly probable expected transactions in USD,
HKD, Thai baht and RMB and the Company Finance Department shall reduce foreign
currency exposure position for Group to achieve the natural hedge.
iii. The Company’s risk management policy is to hedge against the expected cash flows in
each major currency.
iv. The Company is engaged in operations involving certain non-functional currencies (the
functional currency of the Company is New Taiwan Dollar) and is therefore subject to
exchange rate fluctuations. Analysis on foreign currency market risk subject to
significant exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group
for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, amounted to gain $17,672
thousand and loss $4,361 thousand, respectively.
Price risk
i. Equity instruments to which the Company is exposed to price risk are those financial
assets held at fair value through other comprehensive income.
ii. The Company primarily invests in equity instruments issued by domestic companies.
The prices of these equity instruments are subject to the uncertainty of the future value
of the underlying investment. If the price of these equity instruments had increased or
decreased by 1% and all other factors had remained constant, other comprehensive
income that was classified as a gain or loss on equity investment measured at fair value
through other comprehensive income for 2021 would have increased or decreased by
$620 thousands, respectively.
53
i. The Company’s credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company due to
the customers or counterparties of financial instruments fail to meet their contractual
obligations, mainly arising from the inability of counterparties to settle receivables that
are payable in accordance with the terms of collection and contractual cash flows from
investments in debt instruments classified as amortized cost.
ii. The Companysets up its credit risk management policy based on Group’s
perspective. The credit ratings of the Company’s major correspondent banks are good
and there are no concerns about significant credit risk. In accordance with its internal
credit policy, each operating entity within the Company is required to conduct a
management and credit risk analysis for each new customer before proposing the
payment terms and conditions for delivery. According to internal risk management,
the Company shall assess the quality of customers' credit by considering their
financial position, past experience and other factors. The Board of Directors
determines the limits of individual risks based on internal or external evaluations and
regularly monitors the use of credit facilities.
iii. The Company uses IFRSs9 to provide the premise that a default is deemed to have
occurred when contractual payments are more than 90 days past due in accordance
with the agreed payment terms.
iv. The Company uses IFRSs9 to provide the following premise to determine whether
there has been a significant increase in credit risk on a financial instrument since
its initial recognition:
When contractual payments are more than 30 days past due the credit risk of the
financial asset has increased significantly since the initial recognition.
v. The indicators used by the Company to determine that investments in debt instruments
are impaired by credit are as follows:
- The probability that the issuer will experience significant financial difficulties or
will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization is significantly increased;
- The issuer delays or fails to pay interest or principal;
- Adverse changes in national or regional economic conditions that result in the
issuer's default.
vi. The Company applies a simplified approach to estimating expected credit losses on
accounts receivable from customers based on the provisioning matrix, which takes into
account the customers’ past defaults, current financial condition and economic
situation of the industry. As the Company’s credit history experience shows that there
54
is no significant difference in the loss patterns of different customer groups, the
provisioning matrix does not further differentiate between customer groups and only
sets the expected credit loss rate based on the number of days accounts receivable are
past due.
vii. The Company incorporates forward-looking considerations to adjust the loss rate
established by historical and current information for a specific period to estimate the
allowance for losses on receivables, the Company has no significant past due
receivables and therefore expects a small amount of credit losses.
viii. The statement of changes in the Company’s allowance for losses on accounts
receivable using the simplified approach is as follows:
2022 2021
Accounts receivable Accounts receivable
January 1 $7,957 $12
Provision for impairment - 7,945
Reversal of impairment loss (2,232) -
December 31 $5,725 $7,957
ix. The Company’s main customer is located in North America, using the US GDP growth
rate as an indicator, to estimate expected credit losses based on historical and current
55
information adjusted to estimate the probability of default on its investments in debt
instruments as of December 31, 2022 and 2021.
ii. Surplus cash held by the Company in excess of what is required for working capital
management will be transferred back to the Company’s Finance Department. The
Company’s Finance Department invests surplus funds in interest-bearing demand
deposits, time deposits, and marketable securities with appropriate maturities or
sufficient liquidity in the instruments to provide sufficient level of dispatch in response
to these forecasts.
56
iv. The following table shows the Company’s non-derivative financial liabilities, which are grouped according to their respective maturity dates.
The non-derivative financial liabilities are analyzed based on the remaining period from the Statement of Financial Position date to the
contractual maturity date, and the contractual cash flow amounts disclosed in the table are the undiscounted amounts.
57
(3) Fair value information
A. The levels of valuation techniques used to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial
instruments are defined as follows:
Level 1 inputs: Level 1 inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities
that the entity can access at the measurement date. An active market is a market
in which transactions in assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and
volume to provide quoted prices on a continuous basis.
Level 2 inputs: Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted market prices included within Level
1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The
Company’s investments in equity instrument in inactive markets is classified in
level 2.
Level 3 inputs: Inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The Company’s
investment in equity instruments in inactive markets is classified in level 3.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, accounts receivable including
related parties, other receivables, financial assets measured at amortized cost, accounts payable
and other payables that are not measured at fair value represent reasonable approximations of fair
value.
C. The Company classifies financial instruments measured at fair value on the basis of the nature,
characteristics and the level of risk and fair value of assets and liabilities, as follows:
58
D. There were no transfers between Level 1 and Level 2 in 2022 and 2021.
E. The following table shows the changes in level 3 for 2022 and 2021:
2022 2021
Equity securities Equity securities
January 1 $77,504 $30,869
Gain or loss recognized as other
comprehensive gain/loss
Accounted for equity instruments
measured at fair value through OCI - 46,635
Sold in this period (77,504) -
Current liquidation
December 31 $- $77,504
F. The Company’s Finance department is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value
measurements being categorized within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of
financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by
applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions,
confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources
and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently calibrating valuation model, performing
back-testing, updating inputs used to the valuation model and making any other necessary
adjustments to the fair value.
59
G. The quantitative information and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs, which are significant unobservable
inputs to the valuation model used for Level 3 fair value measurement items, are described below:
H. The Company has carefully evaluated the evaluation models and evaluation parameters selected. However, the use of different
evaluation models or evaluation parameters may result in different evaluation results. For financial assets and financial liabilities
classified as Level 3, changes in valuation parameters would have the following impact on profit or loss or other comprehensive
income for the period:
