BORETECH Resource Recovery Engineering Co., Ltd. Business Report of 2025

Boretech Group has been established for thirty years, deeply rooted in the environmental protection industry. Guided by the business philosophy of prioritizing both sustainable development and social responsibility, we have continuously invested in the fields of resource recycling and the circular economy. In response to global environmental trends and the evolution of industrial demand, the Group has consistently enhanced its technology and optimized its operational layout. Our primary business operations currently encompass the manufacturing of recycled polyester (rPET) equipment, the production of rPET flakes/pellets, and the manufacturing and sales of polyester fibers. We are progressively building an integrated industrial value chain to establish a solid foundation for stable development.

Driven by global ESG trends, the green industry has demonstrated long-term growth potential, with related applications and market attention continuing to rise. While fluctuations in the global macroeconomic environment in 2025 led to a more cautious market momentum, through the concerted efforts and operational adjustments across the entire Group, the annual consolidated revenue reached NT$4.789 billion, reflecting the stable foundation of our operations.

Looking ahead, Boretech will maintain a prudent approach in responding to changes in the market environment, continuing to strengthen our core businesses and operational structure while steadily promoting the development of recycled polyester-related enterprises. Leveraging our long-term industrial experience and existing foundation, the Group will continue to create sustainable value that balances corporate growth with environmental protection under the premise of stable operations.

4、Status of Research and Development

A. Environmental Protection Equipment Engineering Services

The Company boasts an outstanding R&D team whose core competencies lie in PET plastic washing and recycling systems, Bottle-to-Fiber systems, Bottle-to-Bottle (B2B) systems, and Tray-to-Tray systems. Our expertise includes the design and development of core equipment and processing technologies, as well as integrated engineering design capabilities for entire plant systems. In addition to providing the aforementioned products with conventional process designs, we offer customized solutions tailored to specific customer needs and quality requirements.

In recent years, to enhance product competitiveness, the Company has comprehensively upgraded the technology and performance of its PET washing and recycling systems. This includes improvements in system efficiency, quality of recycled end-products, energy consumption, footprint optimization, labor requirements, and automation. These efforts have led to the development of the "ES High-Efficiency Streamlined Process Recycling and Washing System," which has been progressively deployed in practical applications. Furthermore, through continuous technological development, our Bottle-to-Bottle systems have established a product line that meets the demand for small-to-medium scale food-grade rPET. We continue to upgrade and develop process technologies and core equipment toward larger production capacities and even more optimized processes.

B. Manufacturing Business

The Chemical Fiber R&D Building was officially established in 2020. It houses various functional laboratories tailored for different R&D stages, including polymer modification, fiber spinning, non-woven fabric manufacturing, and finished product analysis. This comprehensive functional configuration not only enhances the flexibility and applicability of product designs but also provides customers with a reliable and rapid platform for collaborative development. This achieves the objectives of market expansion, shared technology, and product originality.

ii. Our Business Prospects for 2026

1、Environmental Protection Equipment Engineering Services

Looking ahead to 2026, despite geopolitical and trade uncertainties, the global demand for plastic recycling remains a stable foundation. Boretech will focus on diversified layouts in India, Southeast Asia, and Western markets to mitigate policy risks and support brands in achieving their sustainability goals. Our operational focus includes strengthening project management and product standardization in the Washing Product Department, deepening recycled fiber process technologies in the Chemical Fiber Product Department to increase added value, and enhancing engineering integration within the Bottle-to-Bottle (B2B) Product Department to advance product certifications with global brands.

2、Manufacturing Business


In 2025, the Chemical Fiber unit improved gross margins by optimizing its product mix and increasing exports. In 2026, we will continue focusing on high-value-added products, such as diversifying Hygiene Fibers, leveraging overseas growth for Flame-Retardant Fibers, and promoting Dope-Dyed Yarns as a significant profit source, while phasing out low-margin segments. Regarding food-grade rPET pellets, despite pressure from low virgin plastic prices, we expect a gradual market recovery. Boretech will leverage its integrated recycling system to maintain advantages in raw material procurement and cost control, prudently responding to market fluctuations to lay the groundwork for future growth.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To Boretech Resource Recovery Engineering Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Boretech Resource Recovery Engineering Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the "Group") as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of 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 the Group 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 Group’s 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 for the Group’s 2025 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:

Assessment of allowance for inventory valuation losses

Description

Please refer to Note 4(11) for accounting policies on inventories, Note 5(2) for significant accounting estimates and assumptions and Note 6(4) for details of accounts.

The Group is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sales of recycled waste plastics, equipment and various chemical fibres. The management considers the selling price and purchase price of each inventory when the management calculates the net realisable value of inventory and assesses the age of inventory simultaneously to calculate the amount of allowance for inventory valuation losses. As the abovementioned process involves the management’s subjective judgement and has a high degree of uncertainty, considering that inventory and its allowance for valuation losses have a significant impact on the financial statements, we considered the assessment of allowance for inventory valuation losses as a key audit matter.


15

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

A. Assessed the reasonableness of policies and procedures on allowance for inventory valuation losses based on our understanding of the Group’s operation and industry characteristic.

B. Reviewed the annual physical inventory count plan and participated in the annual physical inventory count to assess the effectiveness of the management’s control over obsolete inventories.

C. Obtained the net realisable value report of inventory for evaluation, tested the accuracy of report preparation logic, sampled and reviewed the basis for calculating the net realisable value of individual inventory items and reviewed relevant supporting documents to verify the reasonableness of the net realisable value used.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statement

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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’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 Group 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 Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated 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 Standards on Auditing of 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 consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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.

B. 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 Group’s internal control.

C. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

16


D. 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 Group’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 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

F. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated 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.

17


From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period 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.

The chairman of the general meeting as proxy shall not have the power to exercise the voting rights of such Members with respect to any matters not referred to or indicated in the written or electronic document, impromptu proposal and/or any amendment to resolution(s) proposed at the said general meeting. For the purpose of clarification, such Members voting in such manner shall be deemed to have waived their voting rights with respect to any extemporary matters or amendment to resolution(s) proposed at the general meeting.

  1. A Member may only appoint one proxy for each general meeting irrespective of how many Shares he holds and shall serve an executed proxy in compliance with the preceding Article to the Company or its Shareholder Service Agent as the case may be no later than five (5) days prior to the date of the general meeting.

  2. In case a Member who has served a proxy intends to attend the relevant general meeting in person or to exercise his voting power by way of a written ballot or electronic transmission, he shall, at least two (2) days prior to the date of the general meeting, revoke such proxy by serving a separate written notice to the Company or Shareholder Service Agent. Otherwise, the votes cast by the proxy at the general meeting shall prevail.

  3. A Member who has served the Company with his voting decision in accordance with Article 57 for the purpose of exercising his voting power by way of a written ballot or by way of electronic transmission may appoint a person as his proxy to attend the meeting in accordance with these Articles, in which case the vote cast by such proxy shall be deemed to have revoked his previous voting decision served on the Company and the Company shall only count the vote(s) cast by such expressly appointed proxy at the meeting.

  4. During the Relevant Period, except for trust enterprises or shareholder service agencies duly licensed under the R.O.C. competent authorities or the chairman of a general meeting who is deemed appointed as proxy pursuant to Article 57, where a Person acts as a proxy for two or more Members, the number of voting Shares that the proxy may vote in respect thereof shall not exceed three percent (3%) of the total number of issued and outstanding voting Shares; otherwise, such number of voting Shares in excess of the aforesaid threshold shall not be counted towards the number of votes cast for or against the relevant resolution or the number of voting Shares present at the relevant general meeting but shall be included in the quorum. Upon such exclusion, the number of voting Shares being excluded and attributed to each Member represented by the same proxy shall be determined on a pro-rata basis based on the total number of voting Shares being excluded and the number of voting Shares that such Members have appointed the proxy to vote for.

  5. The use and solicitation of proxies not provided for in these Articles shall be governed by the internal rules of the Company, as adopted and amended by the Board from time to time, which shall be in compliance with the Law and the Applicable Listing Rules (in particular, the Regulations Governing the Use of Proxies for Attendance at Shareholder Meetings of R.O.C. Public Companies (as amended, supplemented or otherwise modified from time to time)).
