Independent Auditors' Report
To China Steel Structure Co., Ltd.:
Audit Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of China Steel Structure Co., Ltd. (the Corporation) and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 a summary of significant accounting policies (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 as well as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IAS), International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), and Standard Interpretations Committee (SIC) and their announcements recognized and announced by Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits 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 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
- 4 -
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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters of the Corporation and its subsidiaries consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 are stated as follows:
Assessment of the estimated total project cost
The Corporation and its subsidiaries have signed many construction contracts, and it recognized construction revenue based on the percentage of completion in the contract period. The degree of construction completion is determined based on the actual construction cost that has occurred for each contract as a percentage of the total cost of the construction. As the aforementioned total estimated construction cost involves significant accounting estimates and affects the recognition of construction completion progress and revenue, we considered the total estimated construction cost as a key audit matter. Please refer to Notes 4 and 5 of the consolidated financial statements for the disclosure of accounting policies, significant accounting estimates and judgments.
Our main auditing procedures for evaluating the estimated total project cost are as follows:
I. We understood the internal control procedures for estimating and evaluating the total project cost and evaluated the consistency of the implementation of the evaluation, preparation, and control procedures.
II. We conducted sample inspections of the certification documents for the evaluation and preparation of the total project cost for new and additional or cancelled projects in the current year.
- 5 -
III. We reviewed the projects, on a sampling basis, and examined whether the differences between the actual and estimated total project cost have significant abnormality; we evaluated the reasonableness of estimated total project cost. We also reviewed, on a sampling basis, the estimate of total project cost in subsequent period and confirmed the reasonableness of the percentage of completion and any change in the estimated project cost from the balance sheet date.
Other Items
We have also audited the standalone financial statements of China Steel Structure Co., Ltd. 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 as well as International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IAS), International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (IFRIC), and Standard Interpretations Committee (SIC) and their announcements recognized and announced by 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 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 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:
I. 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 mistake 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.
II. 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.
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
IV. 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
- 7 -
conclude that 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.
V. 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.
VI. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the 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, 2024 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.

China Steel Structure Co., Ltd. and Subsidiaries
Notes to Consolidated Financial Report
January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024
(In thousands of New Taiwan Dollars unless otherwise specified)
I. Company history
China Steel Structure Co., Ltd.

Amendments to IAS 18 “Presentation and Disclosures in Financial Statements”
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1” Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:
- Items of income and expenses included in the statement of profit or loss shall be classified into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discounted operations categories.
- The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing 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, to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Corporation and its subsidiaries shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Corporation and its subsidiaries labels items as others only if it cannot find a more informative label.
- Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the Corporation and its subsidiaries as a whole, the Corporation and its subsidiaries shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.
In addition, the following consequential amendments have been made to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”:
- The Group shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.
- Interest and dividends received by the Group shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the consolidated financial statements were reported to the board of directors for issue, the Group is in the process of assessing the impact of the impending initial application of other standards and the amendments to interpretations on the financial position and results of operations. Disclosures will be provided after a detailed review of the impact has been completed.
IV. Summary of significant accounting policies
(I) Statement of compliance
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
(II) Basis of preparation
The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at fair value and net defined benefit assets 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 the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, which are described as follows:
- Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
-
Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
-
20 -
(3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
(III) Classification of current and non-current 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 balance sheet date; and
(3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being used for an exchange or used to settle a liability for more than 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Current liabilities include:
(1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
(2) Liabilities to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and
(3) Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting date.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
The Steel structure construction and construction engineering business of the Group has a business cycle of more than 1 year. Therefore, assets and liabilities related to the steel structure construction business are classified as current or non-current based on the normal business cycle.
(IV) 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). The Statement of Comprehensive Income includes the operating income of the acquired or disposed subsidiary from the date of acquisition to the date of disposal in the current year. The financial statements of subsidiaries have been reorganized to ensure consistency with the accounting policies adopted by the Group. In the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Report, all transactions, account balances, income and expenses between the entities have been written off. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the parent company.
- 21 -
Any change in ownership interest that does not cause the Group to lose control of the subsidiary is accounted for under the equity method. The book value of assets of the Group has been adjusted to reflect the relative changes in the equity of the subsidiaries.
When the Group loses control over a subsidiary, the profit or loss on disposal is the difference between the two following items: (1) the sum of the fair value of consideration received and the fair value of the remaining investment in the former subsidiary as of the date of the loss of control; and (2) the sum of assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the former subsidiary based on the book value as of the date of the loss of control. The Group's accounting practices for the amounts of the subsidiary shown in other comprehensive profit or loss account shall follow the same basis as that followed by the Group for direct disposal of related assets or liabilities.
Please refer to Note 10 and Appendix 4 for the details, shareholding ratio, and business items of subsidiaries.
(V) Foreign currencies
In preparing the standalone 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 period in which they arise.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items are recognized in profit or loss for the period except for exchange difference arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also
- 22 -
recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in foreign currency are not retranslated.
For the purposes of presenting standalone financial statements, the investments of the Group's foreign operations (including subsidiaries and associates operating in other countries or using currencies different from the Group's currencies) are translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollar, as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the year. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
If the Group disposes of all equities in a foreign operation or disposes of parts of the equities of a subsidiary of a foreign operation but loses control, all accumulated currency translation differences related to the foreign operation shall be reclassified as profit or loss.
(VI) Inventory
Inventories are raw materials, land for construction, construction in progress, and prepaid land payments. Inventories 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 weighted-average cost.
The costs of buildings construction are calculated by each different construction project. The expenditure on land before acquiring land ownership is recorded as "Prepayments for land". When the land is actively developed after the ownership is obtained, the cost of various projects and other costs are transferred to "construction in progress" and will be transferred to "held for sale" after the completion.
- 23 -
Before the registration of land on which active development or construction work has been carried out and the construction work is completed, the land payment paid and the cost of construction in progress (including construction land and construction cost) are capitalized and recorded as land cost or construction cost.
(VII) Investment in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Group have significant influence over and that is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture.
The Group uses equity methods to account for investment in associates. Under the equity method, an investment is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Group's share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Group also recognizes the changes in the share of equity of associates.
The net fair value of the number of shares of identifiable assets and liabilities in the affiliate enterprise by the Group on the acquisition date will be considered as goodwill. Goodwill is included in the carryover amount of the investment and may not be amortized. The shares of the net fair value of identifiable assets and liabilities in the affiliate enterprise by the Group on the acquisition date that exceeds the acquisition cost will be shown as profit or loss in the current year.
When the Group subscribes for additional new shares of the associate, at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting book value of the investment differs from the amount of the Group's proportionate interest in the associate. The Group records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus. If the Group's ownership interest is reduced due to non-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 if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but the
- 24 -
capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
When the Group's share of losses of an associate equal or exceeds its interest in that associate (which includes any book value of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term interests that, in substance, form part of the Group's net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate.
When impairment loss is evaluated, the entire book value of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its book value. The impairment losses recognized are not amortized to any assets that form part of the book value of the investment, including goodwill.
When the Group ceases to have significant influence over the associate, the Group will measure the retained investment at fair value at that date. The difference between the previous book value of the associate attributable to the retained interest and its fair value is included in the determination of the gain or loss on disposal of the associate. The Group accounts for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate on the same basis as would be required if that associate had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities.
When the Group transacts with its associates, profits or losses on these transactions are recognized in the standalone financial statements only to the extent of interests in the associate that are not related to the Group.
(VIII) Joint operations
A joint operation is a joint arrangement whereby the Group and other parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the assets, and obligations for the liabilities, relating to the arrangement.
- 25 -
Any acquisition of an interest in a joint operation in which the activity of the joint operation constitutes a business should be treated as a business combination, except when the parties sharing joint control are under the common control of the same ultimate controlling party or parties both before and after the acquisition and that control is not transitory.
The Group recognizes the following items in relation to their interests in joint operation:
- The assets, including their share of any assets held jointly;
- The liabilities, including their share of any liabilities incurred jointly;
- The revenue from the sale of their share of the output arising from the joint operation;
- The share of the revenue from the sale of the output of the joint operation; and
- The expenses, including their share of any expenses incurred jointly.
The Group account for the assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses relating to their interests in a joint operation in accordance with the IFRSs applicable to the particular assets, liabilities, revenue, and expenses.
When the Group sell or contribute assets to their joint operation, they recognize gains and losses resulting from such a transaction only to the extent of the other parties' interests in the joint operation. When the Group purchase assets from its joint operation, they do not recognize their share of the gain or loss until they resell those assets to a third party.
(IX) Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, less accumulated depreciation.
Property, plant, and equipment in the course of construction are carried out at cost. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such properties are classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use and depreciated accordingly.
Depreciation on property, plant and equipment is recognized using the
- 26 -
straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the book value of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
(X) Investment properties
Investment properties are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. Investment properties also include land held for currently undetermined future use.
Investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment properties are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.
On derecognition of an investment property, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the book value of the asset is included in profit or loss.
(XI) Intangible assets
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 life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are measured at costless accumulated impairment loss.
On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceedings and the book value of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
(XII) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, investment properties, and intangible assets
- 27 -
At each balance sheet date, the Group reviews the book values of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, investment properties, and intangible assets 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 Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. When a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation can be identified, corporate assets are also allocated to the individual cash-generating units; otherwise they are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified.
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 book value, the book value of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the book value of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the book value that would have been determined had for the asset or cash-generating (net of amortization and depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years.
A reveal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
(XIII) Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) 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
- 28 -
the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
(1) Measurement category
Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at amortized cost, and equity instruments at FVTOCI.
A. Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
a. The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
b. The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of the principal and interest on the principal outstanding amount.
Financial assets at amortized cost. (including cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, refundable deposits and other financial assets) are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross book value determined by 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 book value of such a financial asset, except for:
a. Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets; and
b. Financial assets that are not credit impaired on purchase or
- 29 -
origination but have 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:
a. Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or the borrower
b. Breach of contract, such as a default.
c. It is becoming probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or undergo a financial reorganization; or
d. The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
Cash equivalents include commercial paper, and bonds with repurchase agreements with original maturities within 3 months, 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.
B. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
The Group may 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 Group's right to receive the
- 30 -
dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
(2) Impairment of financial assets and contract assets
The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables), as well as contract assets.
The Group always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for accounts receivable. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes 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 Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECL.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of Corporation default occurring as the weights. 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that are expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date. In contrast, lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
For internal credit risk management purposes, the Group determines that the following situations indicate that a financial asset is in default (without taking into account any collateral held by the Group):

B. When a financial asset is more than 365 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.
All financial assets with a corresponding adjustment to their book
- 31 -
value through a loss allowance account.
(3) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flow 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.
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset's book value 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 cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.
- Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
- Financial liabilities
(a) Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
(b) Derecognition of financial liabilities
When the Group derecognized financial liabilities, the difference between the book value of the financial liability and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
(XIV) Provisions
Provisions are measured at the best estimate discounted cash flows of the consideration required to settle the present obligation at the end of the reporting date, taking into account the risks and uncertainties surrounding the obligation. Provision is measured using the present value of the cash flows which is estimated to settle the present obligation.
- 32 -
(1) Onerous contracts
Onerous contracts are those in which the Group’s unavoidable costs of meeting the contractual obligations exceed the economic benefits expected to be received from the contract. The present obligation arising under onerous contracts is recognized and measured as provisions. The cost of fulfilling a contract includes both the incremental costs of fulfilling that contract and an allocation of other costs that relate directly to fulfilling contracts.
(2) Warranties
Including those arising from the contractual obligation specified in the warranty period after completing contract. The Group recognized provisions that are likely to be paid during the warranty period after completing construction. Actual payments are first made against the provisions and then as current expenses if the amount of provision is insufficient.
(XV) Revenue recognition
The Group identifies the contract with the customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations, and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
(1) Revenue from sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the goods committed are delivered from the Group to customers to satisfy performance obligation as follows: domestic sales - when products are moved out of the Group’s premises for delivery to customers; exports - when products are loaded onto vessels. Revenue is recognized because the earning process is accomplished, and revenue is realized or realizable.
Revenue is measured at fair value, which is the discounted present value of the price (net of commercial discounts and quantity discounts) agreed to by the Group with customers. But if the related receivable is due within one year, the difference between its present value and undiscounted amount is immaterial and sales transactions are frequent,
- 33 -
the fair value of the receivable is equivalent to the nominal amount of cash to be received. The transaction price received is recognized as a contract liability until performance obligations are satisfied.
(2) Construction income
As property is being constructed and construction is in progress, the Group recognizes revenue from construction contract over time. The Group measures progress on the basis of costs incurred relative to the total expected costs. A contract asset is recognized during the construction and is reclassified to accounts receivable at the point at which it is invoiced to the customer. If the invoiced amount exceeds the revenue recognized to date, then the Group recognizes a contract liability for the difference. Certain payments, which are retained by the customer as specified in the contract, are intended to ensure that the Group adequately completes all of its contractual obligations. Such retention receivables are recognized as contract assets until the Group satisfies its performance obligations.
(3) Providing services
Service revenue is recognized according to the contract and the percentage of completion of the services.
(XVI) Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
- The Group 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.
Rental payments from operating leases are recognized on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct costs incurred in negotiation and arranging operating leases are added to the book values of the leased assets and amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Group
- 34 -
assesses 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 between 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 a 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 between 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.
- The Group as lessee
The Group recognizes 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 for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets, which comprise the initial measurement of lease liabilities, are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the standalone balance sheets.
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. 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 Group uses the lessee's incremental borrowing
- 35 -
rate.
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, the Group remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use assets. However, if the book value of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the standalone balance sheets.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the periods in which they are incurred.
(XVII) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets is substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment in the income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other than those stated above, all borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the year in which they are incurred.
(XVIII) Employee benefits
- 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 service.
- Retirement benefits
Payment to defined contribution retirement benefit plans is recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are
- 36 -
determined using the projected unit credit method. Service costs (including current service costs and net interest on the net defined benefit assets) are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period 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 they occur. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit assets represent the actual balance in the Group's defined benefit plan. 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.
- Other long-term employee benefits
Other long-term employee benefits are accounted for in the same way as the accounting required for defined benefit plan except that remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss.
(XIX) Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
- Current income tax
The Group determines the income (loss) for the current year based on the rates/laws that have been enacted for each jurisdiction and calculates the income tax expected to be paid to (recovered from) taxation authorities.
Tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for as income tax in the year the shareholders approve to retain the earnings.
Adjustments to income tax payable from previous years are recognized in the income tax of the current year.
- Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the book values of assets and liabilities in the standalone financial statements and
- 37 -
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 or unused loss carry forward to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is 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 only recognized 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 they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The book value of deferred tax assets is reviewed at each balance sheet date 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 each balance sheet date 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 liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the balance sheet date, to recover or settle the book value of its assets and liabilities.
- Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except when
- 38 -
they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred tax are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
V. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and main uncertainty assumptions
In the application of the Group's accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about carrying out amounts of assets and liabilities 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.
(I) Critical accounting judgments
Judgments with significant impact on affiliates - where the investor holds less than 20% of the shares of the investee but has significant influence.
As described in Note 11, the Group holds less than 20% of the voting rights in certain companies but retains significant influence due to joint shareholding with affiliates of the CSC Group.
(II) Estimates and assumptions uncertainty
Estimated impairment of financial assets and contract assets
The estimated loss of impairment on accounts receivable and contract assets are based on the Group's assumptions regarding the default rate and expected loss rate. The Group considers experience, current market conditions, and prospective information for the adoption of assumption and selection of input in evaluating impairment. Significant impairment loss may occur if actual future cash flows are lower than the Group's forecast.
Construction contracts
The Group recognizes revenues from construction contracts under the percentage of completion method by calculating construction revenues based on the actual construction cost incurred as a percentage of the total estimated cost of the construction. Variable considerations such as contractual incentives and compensation payments are included in contractual income only if it is
- 39 -
highly probable that there will not be a significant reversal in the cumulative revenues when related uncertainties are subsequently eliminated.
As the management evaluates and determines the estimated total cost and contract items based on the nature of different construction projects, estimated subcontracting amount, construction period, project construction, and construction methodology, if such estimates are changed due to future construction conditions, they may have material influence on the calculation of the completion percentage and profit and loss of the project.

These investments in equity instruments are not held for trading; instead, they are held for medium to long term strategic purposes. Accordingly, the management elected to designate these investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI as they believe that recognizing short-term fluctuations in these investments' fair value in profit or loss would not be consistent with the Group's strategy of holding these investments for long-term purposes.

| Other receivables | $ 27,753 | $ 6,194 |
(I) Receivables
The Group’s notes and accounts receivable are financial assets at amortized cost.
The credit period for the sale of goods was from 30 to 90 days and billings for construction and services were made based on the progress of the contract. To minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue debts. In addition, the Group reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade debt at the end of the reporting period to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes the Group’s credit risk was significantly reduced.
The Group applies the simplified approach to providing for expected credit losses, which permits the use of lifetime expected loss provision for all trade receivables. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix 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 forecast direction of economic conditions at the reporting date. As the Group’s historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Group’s different customer base.
The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is information indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For trade receivables that have been classified as overdue receivables, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.
The following table details the loss allowance of trade receivables and overdue receivables based on the Group’s provision matrix.

XX. Retirement benefit plan
(I) Defined contribution plans
The Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Based on the LPA, the Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries make monthly contributions to employees' individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.
(II) Defined benefit plans
Some of the employees in the Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries adopted the defined benefit plan under the Labor Standards Act, under which pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries make contributions, equal to a certain percentage of total monthly salaries, to a pension fund, which is deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the name of and administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Before the end of each year, the Corporation and its domestic subsidiaries assess the balance in the pension fund. If 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 its 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).

| Operating costs | $ 96 | $ 743 |
| Operating expenses | 24 | 176 |
| $ 120 | $ 919 |
Through the defined benefit plans under the Labor Standards Act, the Group is 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 of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor 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 deposit 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 by reference to 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 obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries. The principle assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate (%) | 1.25~1.38 | 1.375~1.500 |
| Expected rate of salary increase (%) | 2.25~3.00 | 2.25~3.00 |
If a 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 will increase (decrease) as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | ||
| 0.25% increase | ($ 5,228) | ($ 6,071) |
| 0.25% decrease | $ 5,360 | $ 6,228 |
| Expected rate of salary increase | ||
| 0.25% increase | $ 5,214 | $ 6,065 |
| 0.25% decrease | ($ 5,112) | ($ 5,943) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is
- 57 -
unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |

| The expected contributions to the plan for the next year | $ - | $ - |
| The average duration of the defined benefit obligation | 4.4~7.5 years | 4.6~7.7 years |

- 59 -
(III) Retained earnings and dividend policy
Under the Corporation's dividend policy, where the Corporation made profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first utilized for paying taxes, offsetting losses of previous years, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit (an appropriation of earnings to a legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Corporation's paid in capital), setting aside or reversing a special reserve in accordance with the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed retained earnings shall be used by the Corporation's board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders' meeting for distribution of dividends to shareholders.
The Corporation is in a challenging industry, and the life cycle is in a mature stage. When the board of directors are formulating dividend policy, the Corporation maintains a stable dividend policy. Except when there is a need for capital, a dividend will be distributed at a rate not less than 50% of the earnings available for distribution, of which not less than 50% will be cash dividends unless there is a need for cash for the Corporation's operations.
The legal reserve may be used to offset the deficit. If the Corporation has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Corporation's paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.
Under the directive titled "Questions and Answers for Special Reserves Appropriated Following Adoption of IFRS Accounting Standards", the Corporation should appropriate to or reverse from special reserve.
The appropriations of earnings for 2024 and 2023 were approved by the shareholders' meetings in May 2025 and 2024, respectively, The appropriations and dividends per share were as follows:
| Appropriation of Earnings | Dividend Per Share (NT$) | |||

|---|---|---|
| Legal reserve | $ 66,804 | |
| Special surplus reserve | 5,272 | |

(IV) Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Group's major financial instruments include notes and accounts receivable, equity investments, other financial assets, notes and accounts payable, short-term borrowings, short-term bills payable, lease liabilities and long-term bills payable. The Group's financial management department provides service to the business units, coordinates domestic and international financial operations, prepares and analyzes internal risk reports to monitor and manage financial risk related to the operation of the Group. These risks include market risk (including interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
1. Market risk
The main financial risks arising from operating activities are the risk of changes in interest rates (see (1) below) and the risk of other prices (see (2) below).
There had been no change to the Group's exposure to market risks or the way these risks were managed and measured.
(1) Interest rate risk
The Group was exposed to interest rate risk because the Corporation and its subsidiaries borrowed funds at variable rates. The carrying amounts of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities with exposure to interest rates at the balance sheet date were as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Fair value interest rate risk | ||
| Financial assets | $1,101,868 | $ 241,953 |
| Financial liabilities | 474,112 | 467,247 |
| Cash flow interest rate risk | ||
| Financial assets | 139,560 | 241,840 |
| Financial liabilities | - | 1,847,525 |
If interest rates had been 1% higher and all other variables were held constant, the Group's pre-tax profit for the years ended
- 73 -
December 31, 2024 would decrease by NT$18,475 thousand.
(2) Other price risk
The Group was exposed to equity price risk through their investments in listed domestic shares. The equity price of the Group was evaluated by the closing price of the monthly equity securities, measured with reference to the monthly published price quotation.
If equity prices had been 1% lower, the pre-tax other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would decrease by NT$2,125 thousand and NT$2,197 thousand, respectively.
- Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Group. As at the balance sheet date, the Group's maximum exposure to credit risk will cause a financial loss to the Group due to the failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation and due to financial guarantees provided by the Group could arise from:
(a) The carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the consolidated balance sheets; and
(b) The amount of contingent liabilities in relation to financial guarantees issued by the Group.
The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group uses other publicly available financial information and its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Group's exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored, and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits annually. The Group's significant credit risk concentration of customers was those individual accounts receivable with balances higher than 10% of the Group's total
- 74 -
receivables, as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |

| Customer D | 86,882 | 208,879 |
| $ 757,249 | $ 714,206 |
3. Liquidity risk
The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance the Group's operations and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants. Short-term financing which the Group has obtained is sufficient for the Group's operations in the near future and the Group is now free of liquidity risks.
The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group's available unutilized short-term bank loan facilities were NT$31,331,839 thousand and NT$26,804,916 thousand, respectively.
