Attachment 1
2025 Business Report
The Company is specialized in the manufacturing and sale of stainless steel tubes and pipes and sheets and coils. In 2025, the sales volume of stainless steel tubular products was 76,949 metric tons, representing a $0.4\%$ increase compared to the previous year. The sales volume of stainless steel flat products was 14,776 metric tons, representing a $51\%$ decrease compared to the previous year. In addition to the uncertainty caused by the United States' reciprocal tariffs, which led some customers to adopt a more conservative procurement approach, over capacity from China intensified market competition. In terms of sales distribution, domestic sales accounted for $53\%$ and export sales accounted for $47\%$ , with exports mainly to the Americas, Europe, and Asia. The Company has long focused on sales development by diversifying markets and customers to mitigate risks.
At the beginning of 2025, nickel prices increased, reaching a peak of US(16,400 per metric ton and resulting in a significant recovery in operations. However, due to the impact of U.S. tariffs and increased exchange rate volatility, nickel prices declined to a low of US)13,800 per metric ton, and selling prices fell significantly. Although prices gradually rebounded in the fourth quarter and fluctuated within the range of US$14,500–15,500, demand for stainless steel continued to face market challenges. In summary, compared with 2024, nickel prices in 2025 were lower overall. As both price and sales volume declined, operating revenue decreased by 14.85%. However, the increased proportion of high-margin stainless steel tubes and pipes enabled the gross margin to remain consistent with the 10% level recorded in 2024. The 2025 business results and the 2026 business outlook are reported as follows:

Note 2: The increase in net cash outflow from investing activities was mainly due to capital investment in subsidiaries during the period.
Note 3: The increase in net cash outflow from financing activities was primarily due to the repayment of bank borrowings and the distribution of cash dividends.
(V) Research and development
The Company's research and development is mainly based on process development, product quality improvement, personnel technology improvement and new product development. In terms of process development and improvement, we introduce domestic and foreign advanced equipment and molds, or design advanced process equipment and molds to improve production technology, capacity and product quality.
In terms of product quality improvement, we actively introduce and authenticate various quality assurance management systems, and conduct industry-academia research and development, and actively introduce smart devices to improve product quality. In terms of personnel skills, employees participate in related seminars at home and abroad, and domestic and foreign experts are often hired for training in order to upgrade employees' professional knowledge and technical standards. In terms of new product development, the Company actively conducts various market surveys, introduces domestic and foreign advanced equipment and molds, recruits professional talents for research and development, actively trains existing researchers, and actively develops new products.
In addition to being certified in 1993 and 1999 by Lloyd's Register Quality Assurance (LRQA) for ISO-14001 and by TÜV Rheinland (Germany) for ISO-9001, the Company's Quality Assurance Laboratory was accredited in 2001 by the Chinese National Laboratory Accreditation (CNLA) system, which was renamed in 2004 as the Taiwan Accreditation Foundation (TAF) registered laboratory. The Company led the industry by providing professional X-RAY inspection reports for large-diameter weld seams, becoming a domestic industry leader. In 2009, the Company obtained Japanese Industrial Standards (JIS) product certification. In 2012, it received approval for pressure piping components, and in 2024, obtained multiple certificates from TÜV Rheinland. A wide range of impartial third-party certifications ensures that the Company's products meet regulatory requirements and facilitates market development.

II. Summary of the 2026 Business Plan
(I) Operational guidelines and strategies
1. Sales plan:
(1) Increase sales of stainless steel tubes and pipes
Continue to develop high value-added products, and continue to expand product categories to increase sales.
(2) Actively expand the export market and strive for major domestic investment orders, improve customer loyalty, and diversify the market so as not to be affected by the prosperity of one single industry and one market.
2. Production plan:
(1) Expand product offerings and continue to bring them into full play
The Company specializes in the production of stainless steel tubes and pipes and has expanded the product items to expand the coverage of customer needs.
(2) Reduction of costs and expenses
The Company will focus on the improvement of manufacturing processes, and actively control the unit cost of related equipment and auxiliary materials, to further increase the inventory turnover rate and reduce the capital cost caused by inventory backlog.
3. Financial structure plan:
Apart from focusing on the operation of the core business, the Company is expected to revitalize the use of assets, which is conducive to the increase of revenue, reduce the interest burden, and improve the financial structure.
(II) Sales Forecast and Bases
1. The Company’s sales forecast for 2026 is as follows:
Unit: Metric tons
| Year
Item | Estimated Sales Volume for 2026 |
| --- | --- |
| Stainless steel tubes and pipes | 84,000 |
| Stainless steel sheets and coils | 30,000 |
| Total | 114,000 |
2. Bases:
By the end of 2025, with Indonesia’s export controls and production adjustments in mainland China, along with recovering demand driven by continued investment in the semiconductor industry, overall market conditions showed signs of stabilization. In view of the above, as nickel prices rebounded to US$18,000 at the beginning of 2026 and stainless steel prices also showed an upward trend, the Company maintained a high degree of control over inventory management and product pricing. The Company is cautiously optimistic about its operations and will continue to focus on the development of high value-added products to strengthen its
competitiveness and enhance profitability.
The core competitiveness of the Company lies in the R&D of manufacturing processes, which leads its peers in the industry. The development of high value-added products such as online polishing and online heat treatment of round and square pipes has been quite successful. For the products, the Company has the most complete range of products to meet the diversified needs of customers, and one-stop purchase from FROCH ENTERPRISE. Our sales channels are distributed across the world, with thousands of domestic customers and a presence in over 100 countries. The market is quite fragmented, which is conducive to competition. The impact of the legal and overall business environment is relatively reduced and not significant.
(III) Key Production and Sales Policies:
In 2026, the Company will continue to strengthen inventory management, increase inventory turnover, reduce production costs and expenses, and enhance the competitiveness of its products and market share by coordinating production and sales.
III. Effects of the external competitive environment, regulatory environment and overall business environment:
(I) Public infrastructures and major private investments may affect the development of the stainless steel industry.
(II) Demand for stainless steel may be affected by the macroeconomic environment situations.
(III) The regulatory environment has less impact on company operations, relative to other factors.

Attachment 3:
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Froch Enterprise Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Froch Enterprise Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the “parent company only financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. 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 key audit matter identified in the audit of the Company’s financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 is as follows:
Revenue Recognition
The Company’s export sales revenue is affected by the distance or convenience of connection with its customers, which makes the relevant revenue recognition procedures more complicated. A significant portion of export sales to customers for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased significantly compared to the previous year; therefore, we identified recognition of sales revenue as a key audit matter. Refer to Notes 4 and 17.
Our audit procedures performed in respect of revenue recognition included the following:
- We obtained an understanding of the internal controls, evaluated the design, tested the continuous effectiveness of the implementation of internal controls related to the recognition of sales revenue and the operating procedures of sales collection during the year.
- We obtained and selected samples of the export sales revenue receipts, vouched the documents to sales order and shipments related to sales revenue and verified the occurrence of the sales revenue.
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 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 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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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
- 9 -
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 Company'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 Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the 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 Company 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 financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements for the
- 10 -
year ended December 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are Rui-Long Xu and Shao-Chun Wu.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Froch Enterprise Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Froch Enterprise Co., Ltd. (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matter identified in the audit of the Group’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2025 is as follows:
Revenue Recognition
The Group’s export sales revenue is affected by the distance or convenience of connection with its customers, which makes the relevant revenue recognition procedures more complicated. A significant portion of export sales to customers for the year ended December 31, 2025, increased significantly compared to the previous year; therefore, we identified recognition of sales revenue as a key audit matter. Refer to Notes 4 and 17.
Our audit procedures performed in respect of revenue recognition included the following:
- We obtained an understanding of the internal controls, evaluated the design, tested the continuous effectiveness of the implementation of internal controls related to the recognition of sales revenue and the operating procedures of sales collection during the year.
- We obtained and selected samples of the export sales revenue receipts, vouched the documents to sales order and shipments related to sales revenue and verified the occurrence of the sales revenue.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Froch Enterprise 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, 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.
- 19 -
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.
-
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 entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
- 20 -
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors' report are Jui-Lung Hsu and Shao-Chun Wu.

- The following terms of the "Articles of Incorporation" on employee and director remuneration have been resolved and approved in Board of Directors' meeting and shareholders' meeting:
Annual profits concluded by the Company are subject to employee remuneration of 1%, which the Board of Directors may decide to distribute in cash or in shares. Employees who meet certain criteria are entitled to receive remuneration. Up to 3% of the aforementioned profit may be distributed as directors' remuneration at the discretion of the Board of Directors. Employee and director remuneration proposals are to be raised for resolution during shareholders' meetings. Profits must first be taken to offset against cumulative losses, if any, before the remainder can be distributed as employee and director remuneration in the above percentages.
Annual surpluses concluded by the Company are first subject to taxation and reimbursement of previous losses, followed by a 10% provision for legal reserves; however, no further provision is needed when legal reserves have accumulated to the same amount as the Company's paid-up capital. Any surpluses remaining shall then be subject to provision or reversal of special reserves, as the laws may require. The residual balance can then be added to undistributed earnings carried from previous years and distributed as shareholder dividends at Board of Directors' proposal, this proposal shall then be submitted to the shareholders' meetings for final resolution.
The Company's dividend policy has been established to accommodate current and future development plans after taking into consideration of investment environment, capital requirement, domestic and/or foreign competition, and shareholders' interests. No less than 50% of distributable earnings shall be paid as dividend for the corresponding year, but the Company may decide to withhold paying dividend if the amount of distributable earnings is less than 10% of paid-up capital. Dividends can be paid in cash or in shares, with cash dividends amounting to no less than 20% of total dividends.
