In order to comply with the provisions of the "Listing Rules for Group Enterprises Applying for Stock Listing and Ineligible for Stock Listing," regarding the reduction of the shareholding ratio of parent companies in subsidiary companies, transactions involving the Company's disposal of Bao-Sheng shares shall prioritize qualified shareholders of the Company.

Qualified shareholders of the Company refer to shareholders listed on the

B. Fiscal Year 2024 Operational Plan Outline
In 2023, the world entered the post-pandemic era, with countries striving for economic recovery. Yet, ongoing geopolitical conflicts such as the Russia-Ukraine war and escalated tensions in Israel-Palestine, alongside deteriorating US-China relations, kept inflation high and cast shadows over global economic prospects.
Chung Hsin Electric & Machinery capitalized on its robust management and resilience to navigate these challenges successfully, achieving record revenues and profits. The recovery in travel boosted its parking business, and government-led initiatives on energy transition and strengthening the power grid fueled growth in heavy electrical equipment and renewable energy sectors, pushing annual revenues to a new high of NT$22.145 billion.
However, the company also faced challenges from the CM-32 armored vehicle controversy. The management team effectively mitigated risks, working closely with staff to protect shareholder interests and minimize negative impacts, allowing the company to post a consolidated net profit of NT$1.585 billion and earnings per share of NT$3.25. Following these results, the board approved a cash dividend of NT$3.60 per share for the year.
Honors and Recognition
In collaboration with Business Weekly and the Risk Center at National Taiwan University, the "Top 100 Carbon Competitive Companies in Taiwan" is selected based on publicly disclosed sustainability report data across five indicators: carbon productivity, carbon emission growth rate, carbon reduction commitment, management level, and Scope 3 carbon emissions. CHEM has long been committed to its core business in the green sustainable industry, continuously promoting energy conservation and carbon reduction. In 2023, it was honored as one of the “Top 100 Carbon Competitive” companies.
CHEM Electric maintains unwavering commitment to the quality of its products and projects and its belief in promoting green environmental protection. In 2023, CHEM Electric undertook
11
the “Datan Power Plant Expansion for Gas Combined Cycle Power Generation Project at Datan and Linkou Power Plant Sites Including the Existing 161kV Switchyard Equipment Addition Project” for Taipower. This project effectively utilized the existing switchyard space to enhance and improve equipment functionality, not only strengthening the power grid's capacity but also avoiding the lengthy construction timeline and significant cost of new switchyard facilities, earning the 23rd Public Construction Golden Quality Award for both design and construction excellence. Moreover, with its longstanding outstanding performance in public construction projects, CHEM Electric also received the special contribution award from the Public Construction Golden Quality Awards (for companies and organizing agencies that have won awards for 5, 10, and 15 sessions).
The Public Construction Golden Quality Awards, regarded as the "Oscars of the engineering world," represent the highest honor in the engineering field and set a benchmark for public construction. This recognition is not only a testament to the company’s engineering quality but also the greatest honor for the entire CHEM team.
1. Key Business Initiatives
Comprehensive Launch of the Resilient Grid Plan to Boost Revenue and Profit
To enhance Taiwan's power grid resilience against unforeseen events and prepare for the 2050 net-zero transition, Taipower initiated the decade-long "Resilient Grid Investment Plan" in 2023 with a total budget of NT$564.5 billion. This plan focuses on three main pillars: distributed grid projects (NT$437.9 billion), advanced grid fortification (NT$125 billion), and enhanced system defense capabilities (NT$1.69 billion). It comprises 10 specific actions across 5 distributed, 3 fortified, and 2 defense areas, ensuring the reliable electricity supply essential for Taiwan’s economic development and public welfare.
CHEM, a leader in the heavy electrical industry, specializing in gas-insulated switchgear and various transmission, distribution, and green energy projects, has shown impressive performance aligning with government electricity policies and leveraging its competitive advantages. Moving forward, the company plans to further utilize its resources to secure major projects related to power plant switchyards, offshore wind substation constructions, new energy storage facilities, and indoor substations enhancements with Taipower, aiming to reach new business heights.
iCharging Creating a Nationwide Charging Ecosystem for Mobile Needs
As a pioneer in charging services, iCharging, supported by CHEM's advanced power management technology and the market dominance of Tutu Parking Lots, has rapidly expanded its electric vehicle charging network in Taiwan in 2023.
12
Embracing the concept of "park and charge," iCharging has successfully covered strategic locations including highway service areas, urban centers, and science parks, securing exclusive operational rights for charging stations in Taiwan's highway service areas. By the end of 2023, iCharging obtained the rights to manage charging stations in 16 highway service areas from the Ministry of Transportation's Highway Bureau, establishing 108 charging slots and a 16 MW charging network, planning to expand to 40 MW to accommodate the growth of electric vehicles. In response to the government's green energy policies, iCharging integrates hydrogen power generation and smart grid management, introducing high-capacity energy storage systems (BESS) and hydrogen backup power systems at charging stations, further enhancing energy efficiency and reducing carbon emissions. Through its peak-shaving capabilities, iCharging can release electricity during Taipower's peak times, reducing reliance on the grid for charging stations. It is estimated that within 8 years, this will reduce carbon absorption equivalent to that of 709 Daan Forest Parks, thus contributing to a future of green transportation and energy conservation.
2. Future Development Strategy
Shaking off the setbacks from the CM-32 armored vehicle case, CHEM has overcome its toughest phase. Looking ahead to 2024, the company aims to leverage its robust operational resilience and competitive edge in the electricity sector, embracing change and innovation to forge new business paradigms and advance towards sustainable operations.
3. External Competition, Regulatory Environment, and Overall Business Context
-
a. CHEM is the market leader in Taiwan with a complete and leading product line in GIS equipment, extensive engineering experience, and specialized capabilities in power generation and grid integration, effectively mitigating external competition and environmental impacts.
-
b. In recent years, CHEM has actively transformed and upgraded, expanding into business groups including power, system integration, new energy, and operations in mainland China. The company's diversification into green energy and services has gradually shown results, significantly reducing the risks associated with reliance on a single industry.
-
c. By upgrading precision manufacturing technologies, CHEM has successfully ventured into semiconductor and optoelectronic equipment manufacturing, securing orders from major international companies and reducing the impact of regional competition and business environments.

Attachment 3. Fiscal Year 2023 Financial Statement
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To The Board of Directors and the Stockholders
Chung-Hsin Electric and Machinery Manufacturing Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the parent company only financial statements of Chung-Hsin Electric and Machinery Manufacturing Corp. (the Corporation), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other independent accountants, as described in the other matters section of our report, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Corporation as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by 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 Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Corporation 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. Based on our audits and the report of other independent accountants, 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The description of the key audit matters of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are as follows:
Engineering Project Revenue Recognition
Key Audit Matters Statements
Refer to the Note 4(17) to the accounting policy of revenues recognition.
15
The Corporation business included electric power engineering construction and design. Contract revenue should be recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the performance obligation over time. Performance obligation should be measured by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date to the estimated total costs for the contract which are based on significant accounting estimation and judgment of management. Therefore, the recognition of engineering project revenues is considered as a key audit matter by decision of CPA.
Key Audit procedures
By conducting the tests of controls, we obtained an understanding of the Corporation’s recognition of engineering project revenues and of the design and implementation of related controls. We also perform corresponding audit procedures as follows:
-
Review the amount and estimate cost of matter contracts to confirm the accuracy of the information in the profit or loss on engineering project.
-
Test the accuracy of the engineering project listing on percentage of completion calculation and confirm the accuracy of the information in the accounting system.
-
Acquire and check the statements about the matter changing of contract, which is prepared by the corporation.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries and investments which were accounted for under the equity method based. Therefore, Our Opinion, insofar as it related to the amounts included for certain subsidiaries and investments which were accounted for under the equity method are based solely on the reports of other auditors.
The investments accounted for under the equity method balance of NT 4,550,953 thousand and NT 3,353,456 thousand, which represented 13.35% and 11.24% of the total assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related shares of profit of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method in the amount of NT 314,239 thousand and NT 414,316 thousand, which represented 13.77% and 14.08% of the incomes before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Corporation’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 Corporation or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
16
Those charged with governance, including the Audit Committee, are responsible for overseeing the Corporation’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only 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 parent company only 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 parent company only 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’s 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’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 parent company only 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 to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only
17

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To The Board of Directors and the Stockholders
Chung-Hsin Electric and Machinery Manufacturing Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Chung-Hsin Electric and Machinery Manufacturing Corp. and its subsidiaries (the Group), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of the other independent accountants, as described in the other matters section of our report, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, 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 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 audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by 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 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. Based on our audits and the report of other independent accountants, 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, 2023. 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.
The description of the key audit matters of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are as follows:
Engineering Project Revenue Recognition
Key Audit Matters Statements
25
Refer to the Note 4(19) to the accounting policy of revenues recognition.
The Group business included electric power engineering construction and design. Contract revenue should be recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the performance obligation over time. Performance obligation should be recognized by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date to the estimated total costs for the contract which are based on significant accounting estimation and judgment of management. The engineering project revenue has significant influence on financial statements. Therefore, the recognition of engineering project revenues is considered as a key audit matter by decision of CPA.
Key Audit Procedures
By conducting the tests of controls, we obtained an understanding of the Group’s recognition of engineering project revenues and of the design and implementation of related controls. We also perform corresponding audit procedures as follows:
-
Review the amount and estimate cost of matter contracts to confirm the accuracy of the information in the profit or loss on engineering project.
-
Test the accuracy of the engineering project listing on percentage of completion calculation and confirm the accuracy of the information in the accounting system.
-
Acquire and check the statements about the matter changing of contract, which is assessed by the corporation.
Other Matter
We did not audit the consolidated financial statements of certain subsidiaries and investments accounted for under the equity method which were audited by other independent auditors. Our audit, insofar as it related to the amounts included for these subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. The total assets of these subsidiaries were NT 2,933,991 thousand and NT 3,198,403 thousand, which represented 6.64% and 7.68% of the total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the net operating revenue from these subsidiaries in the amount of NT 1,913,944 thousand and NT 2,010,710 thousand, which represented 8.64% and 10.84% of the total consolidated net operating revenue for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022;
The investments accounted for under the equity method balance of NT 3,074,339 thousand and NT 1,795,093 thousand, which represented 6.96% and 4.31% of the total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the related shares of profit of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method in the amount of NT 80,103 thousand and NT 138,041 thousand, which represented 3.34% and 4.46% of the consolidated income before income tax for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

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 IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and 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 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 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 Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
27
- 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.
-
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 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 statements 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, 2023 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 engagement partner on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report is Lin, Chin Feng and Chang, Ya Chuan.
