| If there is a change in the proposed amounts after the consolidated financial statement authorized for issue, the differences are recorded as a change in accounting estimate and will be adjusted in the following year. In March 2024 and March 2025, the board of directors resolved the appropriations of employees’ compensation and remuneration to directors in cash for 2023 and 2024, respectively. The differences between the resolved amounts and the accrued amounts reflected in the annual consolidated financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2024 were deemed changes in estimates. The differences were NT$1,951 thousand and NT$2,882 thousand (US$92 thousand) and were adjusted in net profit for each of the years ended December 31, 2024 and 2025, respectively.
