PERFECT CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES
NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED CONDENSED INTERIM CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
FOR THE SIX MONTHS ENDED JUNE 30, 2023 AND 2024
(Expressed in thousands of United States dollars, except as otherwise indicated)
1. History and Organization
Perfect Corp. (the "Company" or "Perfect"), is a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability, which incorporated on February 13, 2015 with registered address PO Box 309, Ugland House, Grand Cayman, KY1-1104, Cayman Islands. The Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred herein as the "Group") are SaaS technology companies offering AR/AI solution dedicated to the beauty and fashion industry as well as mobile applications to consumers. The principal place of business is at 14F, No. 98 Minquan Road, Xindian District, New Taipei City 231, Taiwan.
On October 28, 2022 (the "Closing Date"), the Company consummated the previously announced merger transaction pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement dated as of March 3, 2022, by and among Perfect, Beauty Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Perfect, Fashion Corp., a wholly-owned subsidiary of Perfect, and Provident Acquisition Corp. ("Provident").
Pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement, dated as of March 3, 2022, Beauty Corp., a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability, merged with and into Provident (the "First Merger"), a special purpose acquisition company incorporated in the Cayman Islands and listed on the Nasdaq Stock Market ("NASDAQ"), with Provident surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Perfect, and then immediately following the First Merger, Provident merged with and into Fashion Corp. (the "Second Merger"), a Cayman Islands exempted company with limited liability, with Fashion Corp. surviving as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Perfect. The consummation of the merger transactions was referred to as the "Closing", dated as of October 28, 2022.
In connection with the merger, each Perfect original share (consisting of Perfect common share, par value $0.1 (in dollars) per share, and Perfect preferred share, par value $0.1 (in dollars) per share) converted to Perfect Class A or Perfect Class B ordinary share, par value $0.1 (in dollars) per share, based on a conversion ratio 0.17704366. Each Provident share (consisting of Provident Class A ordinary share, par value $0.0001 (in dollars) per share, and Provident Class B ordinary share, par value $0.0001 (in dollars) per share) converted to one Perfect Class A ordinary share.
Upon the consummation of the mergers and the other transactions contemplated by the Business Combination Agreement, the shareholders of Provident became shareholders of Perfect, and the Company became a publicly traded company on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") on October 31, 2022.
The merger transaction pursuant to the Business Combination Agreement is accounted for as a recapitalization.
On November 24, 2023, the Board of Directors approved a tender offer to purchase up to 16,129,032 Class A Ordinary Shares at a price of $3.10 (in dollars) per share for an aggregate purchase price of approximately $50,000, subject to certain limitations and legal requirements. The Board of Directors has concluded that the tender offer is a prudent use of our available cash from operations and other financial resources and delivers value to our shareholders. The Board of Directors has also determined that a cash tender offer is an appropriate mechanism to return capital to shareholders that seek liquidity under current market conditions while, at the same time, allowing shareholders who do not participate in the tender offer to share in a higher proportion of our future potential.
In accordance with the terms and conditions of the tender offer, and based on the final results reported by the Depositary, the Company has accepted for purchase 16,129,010 shares, through the tender offer at a price of $3.10 (in dollars) per share, for an aggregate cost of approximately $50,000, excluding fees relating to the tender offer. All the purchased shares were retired on December 29, 2023.

4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
The unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair statement of the results of operations for the interim period. All such adjustments to the financial information are of a normal, recurring nature. Accordingly, these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are to be read in conjunction with the annual financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are disclosed in financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, except for the adoption of new and amended standards as set out below and Note 3(1).
F-8
Index to Financial Statements
4(1) Compliance statement
These unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting as issued by the IASB.
4(2) Basis of preparation
A.Except for the following items, the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
(a)Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
(b)Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less present value of defined benefit obligation.
B.The preparation of the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements in conformity with IAS 34 Interim Financial Reporting requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgement in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgement or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
4(3) Basis of consolidation
A.Basis for preparation of unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements:
(a)All subsidiaries are included in the Group's unaudited condensed interim consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
(b)Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(c)When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

iii.The total exchange loss, including realized and unrealized, arising from significant foreign exchange variation on the monetary items held by the Group for the six months ended June 30, 2023 and 2024, amounted to $215 and $337, respectively.
(b)Credit risk
i.Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is that counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms and the contract cash flow of financial assets at amortized cost.
ii.The Group's credit risk was mainly arising from bank deposits, trade receivables, other financial assets and deposits. The Company adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and financial institutions to mitigate the risk of financial loss from defaults. The majority of cash and cash equivalents as well as current financial assets at amortized cost are held with financial institutions with a rating of 'A'.
iii.The default occurs when the contract payments are past due over 180 days.
iv.The Group adopts following assumptions under IFRS 9 to assess whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition:
If the contract payments were past due over 30 days based on the terms, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition.
v.The following indicators are used to determine whether the credit impairment of accounts receivable has occurred:
(i)It becomes probable that the issuer will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganization due to their financial difficulties;
(ii)Default or delinquency in principal repayments.
vi.The Group classifies customers' accounts receivable in accordance with geographic area and credit rating of customer. The Group applies the modified approach to estimate expected credit loss under the provision matrix basis.

vii.The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights.
viii.The Group used the territory economic forecasts to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable.
ix.The loss amounts of accounts receivable allowance using simplified method were de minimis, thus, the loss was not recognized as at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024.
(c)Liquidity risk
i.Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by the Group's finance department. The Group's finance department monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs.
ii.Surplus cash held by the operating entities over and above balance required for working capital management are managed by the Group's finance department. The Group's finance department invests surplus cash in interest bearing current accounts and time deposits, choosing instruments with appropriate maturities or sufficient liquidity to provide sufficient head-room as determined by the above-mentioned forecasts. As at December 31, 2023 and June 30, 2024, the Group held demand deposits and time deposits position of $151,847 and $156,584, respectively. The Group manages liquidity risk by ensuring that these balances are available to meet short-term cash needs. Time deposits withdrawn early receive a lower interest rate through the withdrawal date compared to the stated interest rate applicable on the nominal maturity date. However, there are no significant risk of change in value as a result of an early withdrawal for time deposits classified as cash equivalents.
