  1. Research Development Status

Engineering: The Company continues to enhance construction technologies required for residential buildings, various types of factories, factory offices, and public infrastructure projects. By optimizing procurement models, we aim to reduce construction costs, thereby maintaining our competitive advantage and maximizing profits in the electromechanical and construction engineering industry.

Construction: We have invested in human resources to expand land development from the model of buying and selling of lands, and joint construction to urban renewal for unsafe and old buildings.


In addition to hiring well-known domestic architects and working with landscaping, interior decoration and other design teams for the planning and design of construction projects, we have also been striving to meet environmental protection, green building, smart building, and sustainable development goals, so that the quality of the Company's construction projects can win the trust of consumers and become a role model everywhere we construct.

Optoelectronics:
By updating production technologies and developing improved LCM module products, we aim to enhance product value and reduce costs, ultimately providing customers with more efficient and effective products.

Park Development:
In addition to the later stages of the Machohou Industrial Park in Chiayi County and the development project in the Qigu Technology Industrial Zone in Tainan City, we remain attentive to future plans from various levels of government regarding the establishment of industrial parks. This allows us to expand our avenues for industrial park development projects. Through the accumulation of experience in each industrial park development project, we aim to enhance our Company's visibility and competitive advantage within the industry.

(II) Overview of 2026 Annual Business Plan

  1. Business policies
    By adhering to the management principles of improvement, deep-rooting, profit sharing and sustainable expansion, the Company shall provide high-quality services for customers with dedication.

Engineering:
Currently, there is still good demand for public and civil engineering services driven by government policies and local engineering needs. In response to global trends toward sustainable development and environmental protection, the government spares no effort in promoting energy-saving, carbon-reduction initiatives, and green energy construction projects. This has led to robust growth in the green industry engineering sector. APEX is a leading provider of integrated engineering services that combine mechanical and electrical engineering with construction. We can expect a whole lot of business opportunities for public and civil engineering in the future.

Construction:
In recent years, due to the land acquisition phase of construction projects, no new projects have been launched. Considering market and sales factors, APEX's selection of project locations primarily focuses on large metropolitan areas such as Taipei City and New Taipei City. However, in these major urban areas, land acquisition is more challenging, and development timelines are relatively longer. As a result, APEX has gradually shifted its real estate development approach from traditional buying, selling, or co-construction to urban renewal or reconstruction of old and hazardous buildings.

Optoelectronics:
The optoelectronic products focus equally on domestic and international sales, with export sales accounting for 70% and domestic sales 30%. In the LCM industry, market demand for small- and medium-sized panels has gradually rebounded. The application of optoelectronic products in consumer electronics has driven performance growth, fueled by advancements in

~4~


technologies for smart home devices, automotive electronics, display technology, and gaming equipment, as well as their affordability.

Park Development: Currently, the park development projects undertaken by APEX as a contractor are in Chiayi County and Tainan City. In recent years, due to the return of Taiwanese businessmen and economic demand, there has been a significant increase in land demand for factories in various industries. In order to revitalize the economy and attract investment, county and city governments have made every effort to promote the establishment of industrial zones or industrial parks.

APEX will continue to monitor industrial and industrial park development projects across various regions in the country to stay ahead of future trends in industrial park development.

  1. Expected sales volume and its basis

Construction: Capital expenditures of private manufacturers have gradually increased, which is more optimistic than the past few years. As the government continues to expand domestic demand, public institutions will continue to initiate projects and release invitations for bids.

The Company actively collaborates with domestic and overseas companies to meet the needs of public works and private factories (factory expansion). With technology introduction and improved integration ability, the Company hopes to satisfy as much as possible.

Construction: Continuously evaluate and acquire high-quality construction sites for investment and development.

We shall continue to master future trends in real estate through industry-academy cooperation and information collection. In addition to land acquisition, we will also enhance the development of joint construction and urban renewal projects to acquire land for real estate projects. In the future, we hope that real estate projects and services that satisfy the consumers' needs in the architectural field will be produced through diversified development modes and introduction of new products.

Optoelectronics: In addition to selling LED components and LCM modules, we will continue to cultivate the consumer electronics market. With the addition of new products and partners, we expect to create more business opportunities in line with the economic recovery.

Based on existing products, we will actively develop more product lines, and continue to actively expand customer sources by developing partners. Internally, in order to improve our competitiveness in this field, we will strive to reduce production and procurement costs.

Park Development: Existing development projects actively cooperate with the county and city governments in planning the schedule and continue to carry out advertising and marketing to accelerate land sales. They also urge construction companies to make progress in public works projects and gradually transfer the land.

In addition to actively handling the existing Machouhou and Qigu development projects, we will continue to closely monitor and evaluate development projects in various regions to grasp future trends in park development and related areas.

  1. Important production and sales policy

(1) Client-oriented service. Becoming the best consultant and facilitator for customers
(2) Development of lands with potential commercial value; Granting it with characteristics through planning
(3) Resource integration and business partners seeking

(III) Future Development Strategy and Effect of External Competition, Laws and Regulations and Overall Business Environment

As a professional leading provider of integration services, the Company has always been oriented by customers, constantly researches, develops, innovates and improves quality through Customized Service, Education Training and Process Improvement to meet customers' expectation.

After years of continuous involvement in the fields of construction, building, and comprehensive mechanical and electrical contracting, the Company has gradually delivered results, and striving to take each step firmly towards the vision of "becoming a leader in the development business focusing on building".

Confronted with the fast-changing era, the Company will obtain mutual trust and dependency from and achieve balance among customers, employees, shareholders, third parties and sustainable operation in society, and create maximum synergy.

Taiwan's economy and industries in 2026 are expected to be influenced by multiple global and regional factors. Overall, opportunities and challenges coexist. Under the dual drivers of technological innovation and policy promotion in 2026, Taiwan will exhibit characteristics such as improved intelligence leading to enhanced efficiency and competitiveness, significant growth in demand for sustainability and green buildings, as well as challenges including labor shortages and rising material costs. The Company will respond prudently by actively strengthening its operational advantages to mitigate the impact of external environmental changes.

Besides, the Company will actively practice sustainable development while engaged in enterprise operation in order to be in line with international development trend, improve national economic contribution and living quality of employees, communities and society with corporate citizenship, and facilitate competitive advantages based on sustainable development. We believe that years of business deployment and enhanced management, the Company will continue to improve and maintain a solid operation.

Accountant Review Report

(2026)Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi No.25005232

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Apex Science & Engineering Corp.:

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of APEX SCIENCE & ENGINEERING CORP. (the Company), which comprise the balance sheet as of Dec. 31, 2025 and 2024, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying financing statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of Dec. 31, 2025 and 2024, and its 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.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Auditing Standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matters of the Company's parent company only financial statements for the year ended Dec. 31 2025 are stated as follows:


~13~

Accuracy of Construction Revenue Recognition

Explanation of the matter

Please refer to Notes 4(y), 5(b) and 6(u) for explanation of the accounting policies of construction revenue recognition, significant accounting estimates and relevant items.

The Company's main business items include the engineering-related business, and the construction revenue is recognized according to the stage of completion during the engineering contract period. The degree of completion is determined based on the percentage of costs incurred to date at the end of the reporting period relative to the total estimated costs for each contract. As the aforementioned total estimated costs involve accounting estimates and are therefore subject to uncertainty, and such estimates directly affect the determination of the degree of completion and the recognition of construction revenue, we have identified the accuracy of construction revenue recognition as a key audit matter.

Corresponding audit procedures

We performed the following audit procedures on the particular aspects indicated by key audit matters:

  1. We understood and evaluated the reasonableness of policies and procedures adopted for recognition of construction revenue.
  2. We obtained the newly-increased engineering contract, confirmed the consistency between the total price used to calculate the construction revenue and the contractual stipulation, sampled and inspected the preliminary project budget checklist approved by the project management department and confirmed the consistency in basis used for estimate of the total cost and calculation of the stage of completion.
  3. We verified the evidence documents of major works added or reduced in the corresponding period to confirm that changes in the estimate of the total cost have been recognized appropriately.
  4. We obtained the details of cost invested in the corresponding period, sampled and inspected relevant vouchers, checked them against the items listed in accounts to confirm that the amount of cost used for calculation of the stage of completion is appropriate, and checked the accuracy of the percentage of completion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the 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 the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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. Misstatements 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 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 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.

~14~


  1. 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.

  2. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.

  3. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists 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 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 Auditor's Report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  4. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  5. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the 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.

~15~


From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our Auditor's 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.

Accountant Review Report
(2026) Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi No.25005288

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Apex Science & Engineering Corp.:

Opinions

The Consolidated Balance Sheet of Apex Science & Engineering Corp. and Its Subsidiary Companies (hereinafter referred to as "Apex Group") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flow, as well as the Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies) of Apex Group for the financial year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.

In our opinion, the aforementioned Consolidated Financial Statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and December 31, 2024, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations governing the preparation of financial reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee, or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed and became effective by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Auditing Standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of Apex Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants of the Republic of China (the "Norm"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2025 Consolidated Financial Statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters of 2025 Consolidated Financial Statements of Apex Group are as follows:


~26~

Accuracy of Construction Revenue Recognition

Explanation of the matter

The accounting policies, accounting estimates and relevant subjects related to recognition of construction revenue are detailed on Notes 4(y), 5(b) and 6(w) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The principal business of Apex Group consists of construction and engineering related works and services, revenue is recorded in accordance with the percentage of completion per contractual terms during the period of engineering contract. The degree of completion is determined based on the percentage of costs incurred to date at the end of the reporting period relative to the total estimated costs for each contract. As the aforementioned total estimated costs involve accounting estimates and are therefore subject to uncertainty, and such estimates directly affect the determination of the degree of completion and the recognition of construction revenue, we have identified the accuracy of construction revenue recognition as a key audit matter.

Corresponding audit procedures

We performed the following audit procedures on the particular aspects indicated by key audit matters:

  1. We understood and evaluated the reasonableness of policies and procedures adopted for recognition of construction revenue.
  2. We obtained the newly-increased engineering contract, confirmed the consistency between the total price used to calculate the construction revenue and the contractual stipulation, sampled and inspected the preliminary project budget checklist approved by the project management department and confirmed the consistency in basis used for estimate of the total cost and calculation of the stage of completion.
  3. We verified the evidence documents of major works added or reduced in the corresponding period to confirm that changes in the estimate of the total cost have been recognized appropriately.
  4. We obtained the details of cost invested in the corresponding period, sampled and inspected relevant vouchers, checked them against the items listed in accounts to confirm that the amount of cost used for calculation of the stage of completion is appropriate, and checked the accuracy of the percentage of completion.

Other Matters - Individual Report

The Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Apex Science & Engineering Corp. for Year 2025 and Year 2024 have been prepared, duly audited by the CPAs with a clean Audit Report with unqualified opinion issued for reference.


Responsibility of the Management and the Governing body for the Consolidated Financial Statements

To ensure that the Consolidated Financial Statements do not contain material misstatements caused by fraud or errors, the management is responsible for preparing prudent Consolidated Financial Statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, as well as the IFRS, IAS, law and regulation reviews and their announcements recognized and announced by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for preparing and maintaining necessary internal control procedures pertaining to the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In preparing the Consolidated Financial Statements, Management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of Apex Group, disclosing as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless Management either intends to liquidate the Company and its Subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The Governing Bodies of Apex Group (including the Audit Committee) have the responsibility to oversee the financial reporting process.

Responsibilities of the CPAs in Auditing the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole whether they are free from material misstatement due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinions. 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. Material misstatement may result from fraud and error. A misstatement can be 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 Consolidated 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. Identity and assess the risks of material misstatement of the Consolidated Financial Statements, whether due to fraud and 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 internal control of Apex Group.
  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by Management.

~27~


  1. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability to continue as a going concern of Apex Group. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our Auditor's Report to the related disclosures in the Consolidated 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 Auditor's Report. However, future events or conditions may cause Apex Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  2. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements, including the accompanying Notes, and whether the Consolidated Financial Statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  3. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of individual entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We as independent auditors are responsible for the guidance, supervision, and implementation of the Group's audit and responsible for forming audit opinions on the Group.

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 entrusted with governance duties, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 2025 Consolidated Financial Statements of Apex Group and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our Auditor's 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.
