INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
CHC Resources Corporation
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of CHC Resources Corporation (the "Corporation") and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and their consolidated financial performance and their consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the 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 Corporation and its subsidiaries 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated 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 of the Corporation and its subsidiaries' consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 is stated as follows:
- 3 -
Revenue Recognition
The Corporation and its subsidiaries mainly engage in the sale of Ground-Granulated Blast-Furnace Slag (GGBFS), accounting for the largest proportion of total sales revenue. Since revenue is a presumed risk in the Statement of Auditing Standards and it is mainly the focus of users of financial statements. Thus, we considered the occurrence of the sales revenue of GGBFS as a key audit matter. For the accounting policy of sales revenue, please refer to Note 4 of the consolidated financial statements.
Our audit procedures performed included the following:
- We obtained an understanding of and evaluated design and implementation of internal control of sales of GGBFS and tested its operating effectiveness.
- We selected samples and verified the occurrence and validity of the sales revenue of GGBFS and confirmed the correctness of the shipping documents and cash collection receipts.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of CHC Resources Corporation as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
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 International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China 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 Corporation and its subsidiaries' 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 Corporation and its subsidiaries 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 Corporation and its subsidiaries' 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 maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
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.
-
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 Corporation and its subsidiaries’ internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
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 Corporation and its subsidiaries’ 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 Corporation and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
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.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Corporation and its subsidiaries to express an opinion on the consolidated 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.
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 for the year ended December 31, 2025 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.

IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:
- To classify items of income and expenses presented in the statement of profit or loss into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories, the Corporation and its subsidiaries shall assess whether it has specified main business activities of investing in particular types of assets and providing financing to customers.
- The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
- Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Corporation and its subsidiaries shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic.

The total of each of these cash flows shall be classified in a single category in the statement of cash flows.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were authorized for issue, the Corporation and its subsidiaries are continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations on the Corporation and its subsidiaries' financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
a. Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS Accounting Standards as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.
b. Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments, and net defined benefit assets or liabilities which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.
c. Classification of current and noncurrent assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
- 15 -
Current liabilities include:
1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period, even if an agreement to refinance, or to reschedule payments, on a long-term basis is completed after the reporting period and before the consolidated financial statements are authorized for issue; and
3) Liabilities for which the Corporation and its subsidiaries does not have the substantial right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as noncurrent.
d. Basis of consolidation
The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Corporation and the entities controlled by the Corporation (i.e., its subsidiaries).
When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those of the Corporation.
All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Corporation and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
Changes in the Corporation and its subsidiaries' ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the Corporation and its subsidiaries losing control over the subsidiaries are accounted for as equity transactions. The carrying amounts of the interests of the Corporation and its subsidiaries and the non-controlling interests are adjusted to reflect the changes in their relative interests in the subsidiaries. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognized directly in equity and attributed to the owners of the Corporation.
See Note 12 and Table 5 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including percentages of ownership and main businesses).
e. Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of each individual entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the year.
Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value is determined. Exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the year except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income; in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary item denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost is stated at the reporting currency as originally translated from the foreign currency.
- 16 -
f. Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods and merchandise and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at the weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.
g. Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Corporation and its subsidiaries have significant influence and which is not a subsidiary.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries use the equity method to account for its investments in associates. Under the equity method, investments in an associate are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Corporation and its subsidiaries' share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Corporation and its subsidiaries also recognize the changes in the Corporation and its subsidiaries' share of the equity of associates attributable to the Corporation.
Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Corporation and its subsidiaries' share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of an associate at the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill, which is included within the carrying amount of the investment and is not amortized. Any excess of the Corporation and its subsidiaries' share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities over the cost of acquisition, after reassessment, is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
When the Corporation and its subsidiaries subscribe for additional new shares of an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment differs from the amount of the Corporation and its subsidiaries' proportionate interest in the associate. The Corporation and its subsidiaries record such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in capital surplus from investments in associates accounted for using the equity method. If the Corporation and its subsidiaries' ownership interest is reduced due to its additional subscription of the new shares of the associate, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required had the investee directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
The entire carrying amount of an investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill, that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries discontinue the use of the equity method from the date on which their investment ceases to be an associate. Any retained investment is measured at fair value at that date, and the fair value is regarded as the investment's fair value on initial recognition as a financial asset. The difference between the previous carrying amount of the associate attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on the associate. The Corporation and its subsidiaries account for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would be required had that associate directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
When the Corporation and its subsidiaries transact with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the associate are recognized in the consolidated financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Corporation and its subsidiaries.
- 17 -
h. Property, plant and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are initially measured at cost. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for their intended use.
Except for freehold land which is not depreciated, and some equipment of Blast-Furnace Slag Cement Division which are recognized using the depreciation method of working hours, the depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
i. Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rental and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties include properties under construction that meet the definition of investment properties. Investment properties also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.
Investment properties are initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.
On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.
For a transfer of classification from property, plant and equipment to investment properties, the deemed cost of an item of property for subsequent accounting is its carrying amount at the end of owner-occupation.
j. Intangible assets
1) Intangible assets acquired separately
Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful lives, residual values, and amortization methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
2) Derecognition of intangible assets
On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
- 18 -
k. Assets related to contract costs
The expenditures that relate directly to a contract and that generate or enhance resources to be used in satisfying performance obligations are recognized as assets (costs to fulfil a contract) to the extent of the expected recoverable costs and are amortized on a straight-line basis over the contract term.
l. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, investment properties, intangible assets, and assets related to contract fulfilment costs
At the end of each reporting period, the Corporation and its subsidiaries review the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, investment properties, intangible assets and assets related to contract fulfilment costs to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Corporation and its subsidiaries estimate the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the individual cash-generating units or the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
Before the Corporation and its subsidiaries recognize an impairment loss from assets related to contract fulfilment costs, any impairment loss on inventories related to the contract shall be recognized in accordance with applicable standards. Then, impairment loss from the assets related to contract fulfilment costs is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the Corporation and its subsidiaries expect to receive in exchange for related goods or services less the costs which relate directly to providing those goods or services and which have not been recognized as expenses. The assets related to contract fulfilment costs are then included in the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit to which they belong for the purpose of evaluating impairment of that cash-generating unit.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract fulfilment costs is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract fulfilment costs in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
m. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Corporation and its subsidiaries become a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at FVTPL) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at FVTPL are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- 19 -
- 20 -
1) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
a) Measurement categories
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets at amortized cost and investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI.
i Financial assets at FVTPL
Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such financial assets are mandatorily classified as at FVTPL. Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and the remeasurement gains or losses (excluding any dividends or interest earned on such financial assets) on such financial assets are recognized in gains or losses.
ii. Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
i) The financial assets are held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
ii) The contractual terms of the financial assets give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, notes receivable, accounts receivable, other receivables, other financial assets and refundable deposits at amortized cost, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset, except for:
i) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets; and
ii) Financial asset that is not credit impaired on purchase or origination but has subsequently become credit impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.
A financial asset is credit impaired when one or more of the following events have occurred: significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower; breach of contract, such as a default; it is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or undergo a financial reorganization; or the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
Cash equivalents are time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
iii Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Corporation and its subsidiaries may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are subsequently measured at fair value with gains and losses arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments; instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments are recognized in profit or loss when the Corporation and its subsidiaries’ right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
b) Impairment of financial assets and contract assets
The Corporation and its subsidiaries recognize a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including notes receivable and accounts receivable) as well as contract assets.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries always recognize lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for notes receivable, accounts receivable and contract assets. For all other financial instruments, the Corporation and its subsidiaries recognize lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Corporation and its subsidiaries measure the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
For internal credit risk management purposes, the Corporation and its subsidiaries consider the following situations as indication that a financial asset is in default (without taking into account any collateral held by the Corporation and its subsidiaries):
i Internal or external information shows that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.
ii Financial asset is more than 180 days past due unless the Corporation and its subsidiaries have reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.
The impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in their carrying amounts through a loss allowance account.
c) Derecognition of financial assets and contract assets
The Corporation and its subsidiaries derecognize a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
- 21 -
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss.
On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.
2) Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Corporation and its subsidiaries are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
3) Financial liabilities
a) Subsequent measurement
All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
b) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
n. Hedge accounting
The Corporation and its subsidiaries designate certain hedging instruments (non-derivatives in respect of foreign currency risk) as cash flow hedges. Hedges of foreign exchange risk on firm commitments are accounted for as cash flow hedges.
Cash flow hedges
The effective portion of gains and losses on derivatives that are designated and qualified as cash flow hedges is recognized in other comprehensive income. The gain or loss relating to the ineffective portion is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
The associated gains or losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified from equity to profit or loss as reclassification adjustments in the line items relating to the hedged item in the same period in which the hedged item affects profit or loss. If a hedge of a forecasted transaction subsequently results in the recognition of a non-financial asset or a non-financial liability, the associated gains and losses that were recognized in other comprehensive income are removed from equity and included in the initial cost of the non-financial asset or non-financial liability.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries discontinue hedge accounting only when the hedging relationship ceases to meet the qualifying criteria; for instance, when the hedging instrument expires or is sold, terminated or exercised. The cumulative gain or loss on the hedging instrument that was previously recognized in other comprehensive income from the period in which the hedge was effective remains separately in equity until the forecasted transaction occurs. When a forecasted transaction is no longer expected to occur, the gains or losses accumulated in equity are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- 22 -
o. Provisions
Provisions are measured at the best estimate of the discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting period, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation.
p. Carbon fee provision
In accordance with the Regulations Governing the Collection of Carbon Fees and related regulations of the ROC, the carbon fee provision is recognized and measured on the basis of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation for the current year.
q. Revenue recognition
The Corporation and its subsidiaries identify contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
1) Merchandise sales revenue
Merchandise sales revenue comes from the sale of products such as GGBFS. According to the contract, when GGBFS and other products are delivered to the customer, the customer has set the price and the right to use the product, bears the responsibility for resale, obsolescence of the product risks, the Corporation and its subsidiaries recognize revenue and accounts receivable at that point in time, and prepayments are recognized as contract liabilities.
2) Service revenue
Service revenue comes from services such as slag processing. For services such as processing, the customer obtains and consumes the performance benefits at the same time. The revenue is recognized when the service is provided by the Corporation and its subsidiaries. Specifically, the actual calculation is performed and the advance payment for the service is recognized as a contract liability.
3) Construction revenue
Contracts such as land and water remediation that are under the control of the customer during the implementation process, the Corporation and its subsidiaries gradually recognize income over time. Since the cost of implementation is directly related to the degree of completion of the performance obligation, the Corporation and its subsidiaries measure the progress of completion based on the actual input cost as a percentage of the expected total cost. The Corporation and its subsidiaries gradually recognize contract assets during the implementation process and converts them to accounts receivable when billing. If the received construction payment exceeds the amount of recognized revenue, the difference is recognized as a contract liability.
r. Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Corporation and its subsidiaries assess whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
For a contract that contains a lease component and non-lease components, the Corporation and its subsidiaries allocate the consideration in the contract to each component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price and accounts for each component separately.
- 23 -
1) The Corporation and its subsidiaries as lessor
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Lease payments from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases.
When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Corporation and its subsidiaries assess the classification of each element separately as a finance or an operating lease based on the assessment as to whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to the lessee. The lease payments are allocated to the land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of the contract. If the allocation of the lease payments can be made reliably, each element is accounted for separately in accordance with its lease classification. When the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably to the land and building elements, the entire lease is generally classified as a finance lease unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases; in which case, the entire lease is classified as an operating lease.
2) The Corporation and its subsidiaries as lessee
The Corporation and its subsidiaries recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted by applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheet.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments, and variable lease payments which depend on an index or a rate. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate will be used.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term, or a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Corporation and its subsidiaries remeasure the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use-assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Corporation and its subsidiaries account for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset of lease modifications that decreased the scope of the lease, and recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss on the partial or full termination of the lease; making a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset of all other lease modifications. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the year in which they are incurred.
- 24 -
s. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to an acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
t. Employee benefits
1) Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.
2) Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Current service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period in which they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses, and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit liabilities (assets) represent the actual deficit (surplus) in the Corporation and its subsidiaries' defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
3) Termination benefits
A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the Corporation and its subsidiaries can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit, and when the Corporation and its subsidiaries recognize any related restructuring costs.
u. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
1) Current tax
Income tax payable (recoverable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.
According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.
Adjustments of prior years' tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current period's tax provision.
- 25 -
2) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the consolidated financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Corporation and its subsidiaries are able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and such temporary differences are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Corporation and its subsidiaries expect, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
3) Current and deferred taxes
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
Where current tax or deferred tax arises from the initial accounting for a business combination or the acquisition of a subsidiary, the tax effect is included in the accounting for the business combination or investments in a subsidiary.
- MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Corporation and its subsidiaries’ accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimations, and assumptions that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
When developing material accounting estimates, the Corporation and its subsidiaries consider the possible impact of volatility in markets on the relevant material estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis.
- 26 -
Key sources of estimation uncertainty - write-down of inventories
The net realizable value of inventories 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. The estimation of net realizable value is based on current market conditions and historical experience in the sale of product of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of the net realizable value.

The Corporation and its subsidiaries make prudent assessment of their customers. The counterparties are creditworthy companies; as a result, the significant credit risk is unexpected. The Corporation and its subsidiaries continue to manage the financial condition and entire credit risk of their customers, and obtain sufficient collateral if needed to mitigate the risk of financial loss from late payment.
The expected credit losses on notes receivable and accounts receivable are estimated by reference to past default experience of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor's current financial position, adjusted for general economic conditions of the industry in which the debtors operate and an assessment of both the current as well as the forecasted direction of economic conditions at the reporting date.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries continue to monitor the collection of receivables to ensure that proper actions are made to collect past due receivables. Additionally, the Corporation and its subsidiaries review the recoverable amount of receivables one by one on the balance sheet date to ensure that proper allowances are recognized for unrecoverable receivables.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries write off receivables when there is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For receivables that have been written off, the Corporation and its subsidiaries continue attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

Besides, the overseas subsidiary makes contributions in accordance with local laws and regulations.
b. Defined benefit plans
The defined benefit plans adopted by the Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries in accordance with the Labor Standards Act is operated by the government of the ROC. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the 6 months before retirement. The Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries contribute amounts equal to certain percentage of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee's name. Before the end of each year, the Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries assess the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Corporation and domestic subsidiaries are required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the "Bureau"); the Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries have no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.

Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries are exposed to the following risks:
1) Investment risk
The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity, debt securities, and bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management.
However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposits with local banks.
2) Interest risk
A decrease in the government and corporate bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan’s debt investments.
3) Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated using the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligations were carried out by qualified actuaries. The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations are as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rate (%) | 1.25-1.38 | 1.38-1.63 |
| Expected rate of salary increase (%) | 2.00-2.50 | 2.00-2.50 |
If possible reasonable change in each of the significant actuarial assumptions occurs and all other assumptions remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rate | ||
| 0.25% increase | $ (7,686) | $ (7,521) |
| 0.25% decrease | $ 7,892 | $ 7,730 |
| Expected rate of salary increase | ||
| 0.25% increase | $ 7,669 | $ 7,525 |
| 0.25% decrease | $ (7,508) | $ (7,358) |
The sensitivity analysis may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions will occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Expected contributions to the plan for the next year | $ 14,569 | $ 14,723 |
| Average duration of the defined benefit obligation | ||
| Managers | 7.0 years | 5.1 years |
| Employees | 7.8 years | 8.2 years |
| Employees of domestic subsidiaries | 10.7-12.9 years | 8.5-13.2 years |

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Corporation and its subsidiaries place great emphasis on financial risk management. By tracking and managing the market risk, credit risk, and liquidity risk efficiently, the management ensured that the Corporation and its subsidiaries were equipped with sufficient and cost - efficient working capital, which reduced financial uncertainty that may have adverse effects on the operations.
The significant financial activities of the Corporation and its subsidiaries are reviewed by the board of directors in accordance with relevant regulations and internal controls. The finance department follows the accountability and related financial risk control procedures required by the Corporation and its subsidiaries for executing financial projects. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is
continually reviewed by the internal auditors. The Corporation and its subsidiaries did not enter into or trade financial instruments for speculative purposes.
1) Market risk
The Corporation and its subsidiaries’ activities exposed them primarily to financial risks as follows:
a) Foreign currency risk
The Corporation and its subsidiaries had sales in foreign currencies, which were exposed to foreign currency risk. Exchange rate exposures were managed within approved policy parameters utilizing were mitigated by future receivables and payables denominated in the same foreign currency.
The carrying amounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries’ foreign currency-denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities at the end of the year are set out in Note 33.
Sensitivity analysis
The Corporation and its subsidiaries are mainly exposed to the USD.
The 1% sensitivity rate is used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, accounts payables and other payables. If the foreign exchange rates of the New Taiwan dollar against the relevant currency had been 1% higher/lower, the amount of profit before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by NT$422 thousand and NT$500 thousand, respectively.
b) Interest rate risk
The carrying amounts of the Corporation and its subsidiaries’ financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the balance sheet date were as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Fair value interest rate risk | ||
| Financial liabilities | $ 1,046,538 | $ 1,275,929 |
| Cash flow interest rate risk | ||
| Financial assets | 463,473 | 544,115 |
| Financial liabilities | 1,542,350 | 1,749,820 |
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Corporation and its subsidiaries’ exposure to interest rates for non-derivative instruments at the end of the reporting period. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of each liability outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. 1% increase or decrease is used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates had been 1% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Corporation and its subsidiaries’ cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by NT$15,424 thousand and NT$17,498 thousand, respectively, which were mainly a result of variable-rate borrowings.
- 52 -
c) Other price risk
The Corporation and its subsidiaries were exposed to equity price risk through its investments in listed and unlisted equity securities, which are held for strategic rather than trading purposes, the Corporation and its subsidiaries do not actively trade these investments. The Corporation and its subsidiaries' equity price risk is mainly concentrated in equity instruments of listed and unlisted companies in the steel industry and unlisted companies in the cement industry.
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the exposure to equity price risks at the end of the reporting period.
If equity prices had been 1% higher/lower, the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have increased/decreased by NT$2,426 thousand and NT$2,480 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Corporation and its subsidiaries. At the end of the reporting period, the Corporation and its subsidiaries' maximum exposure to credit risk, which would cause a financial loss to the Corporation and its subsidiaries due to the failure of the counterparty to discharge its obligation and due to the financial guarantees provided by the Corporation and its subsidiaries, could be equal mainly to the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheets.
The adopted policies are only for transactions with creditworthy counterparty to obtain sufficient guarantees to mitigate the risk of financial losses arising from defaults. The Corporation and its subsidiaries use other publicly available financial information and mutual transaction records to evaluate major customers, and also continuously monitor credit risk and credit rating of counterparties, and distribute the total transaction amount to qualified customers. The Corporation and its subsidiaries also control credit risk insurance by credit limit every year.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries' concentrations of credit risk in the industries were as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Cement industry | $ 459,250 | $ 378,200 |
| Steel industry | 676,829 | 589,375 |
| $ 1,136,079 | $ 967,575 |
3) Liquidity risk
The management of the Corporation and its subsidiaries continuously monitor the movement of cash flows, net cash position, significant capital expenditures and the utilization of bank loan commitments to ensure compliance with loan covenants.
The Corporation and its subsidiaries rely on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of the balance sheet date, the Corporation and subsidiaries had available unutilized short-term and long-term bank loan facilities as set out in (b) below.
a) Liquidity and interest rate risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities
The following table details the Corporation and its subsidiaries' remaining contractual maturities for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed upon repayment periods. The table has been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Corporation and subsidiaries can be required to pay. The table includes both interest and principal cash flows. Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates of other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed upon repayment dates.
