Hsin Yung Chien Co., Ltd. Business Report

I. Report on the 2023 business results

(I) Business plan implementation results

The net operating income of the Company in 2023 was NT$1,558,156 thousand, decreased by 16% compared with NT$1,845,955 thousand in 2022, and the operating income in 2023 was NT$525,319 thousand, decreased by 12% compared with NT$596,811 thousand in 2022.

This year's revenue decreased by 16% from the same period last year, mainly due to the continued increase in interest rates by major countries in Europe and the United States to curb inflation and the significant slowdown of manufacturing activities in every country with the ongoing Russo-Ukrainian War, resulting in a decrease in demand, which in turn affected the revenue and income. Despite the decrease in revenue, the Company's gross profit margin is still good as it continues to optimize the product portfolio. Due to the proper control of expenses and the significant decrease in export sea freight, there is growth in operating margin compared to the same period last year.

In 2022, the Company's non-industry investment in marine shares had fallen

sharply due to the significant drop in market price, resulting in unrealized

valuation losses. In 2022, the Company's non-industry investment had been fully disposed, so the non-industry investment as a whole was still a net investment gain; there was no such non-industry investment in 2023.

(IV) Research and development status:

1. Rubber products

In the future, the focus of our research and development will still be on the improvement of materials, structures and manufacturing processes. In addition to continuing to research and develop more specifications for existing products, the Company also focuses on mold improvement and innovation. In the area of chemical fiber cloth raw material, the Company is cooperating with domestic manufacturers to develop high-strength fabrics, which are suitable for high-impact products and have the advantage of replacing multi-layer fiber fabrics. As for rubber, it is in line with the current trend towards green energy conveyor belts, energy-saving conveyor belts, super heat-resistant and oil resistant conveyor belts, wear-resistant and flame resistant conveyor belts and other special rubber types, allowing customers to have a more diversified selection of products. Recently, the main direction of R&D is to cooperate with customers to jointly develop special products such as rubber dams and wave power sheet for hydropower, to create products with higher added value.

2. Composite material products

Newsheet’s environment friendly and recyclable composite materials participated in the 2023 Paris JEC composite material exhibition, the Eurobike Show and Taichung Week Bicycle Show and gained recognition and appreciation from many brands and customers to provide a better material choice for those who have long used non-recyclable and not environmentally friendly thermally stable carbon fiber composite materials in the motor bike industry.

In the post-pandemic era, the global economy has declined and the outbreak of wars in Ukraine and the Middle East have rendered the global economy no prospect of recovery. In the main markets such as Europe and the United States, the inventory levels of various brands of bicycles take more than half a year to clear the inventory or even longer.

How to boost the economy and stimulate the recovery of the consumer market has become a top priority for all countries or brand operators. At the same time, Newsheet must also prepare for mass production of new products during this period, coupled with the training of process equipment and personnel, we want to be optimally prepared in this sluggish economy. The first time the economy recovers, it will be able to increase the proportion of revenue and contribute to the Company's overall revenue. The following is a description of the progress of product development and promotion:

7

  • A. Electric bicycle frames:

In 2023, the production lines were gradually completed and the development of electric mountain climbing bicycle frames together with a famous American bicycle brand entered the final verification stage, waiting to be completed. However, the inventory level of the brand's old models is still high, and the launch of the brand will be postponed.

It is a well-known European bicycle brand. The cooperation of new product plans has been postponed due to excessive inventory and the new product development plan will not be launched until the second or third quarter of 2024.

In the 2024 exhibition plan, we will participate in the Taipei Bicycle Show to promote exposure and cooperate with foreign trade associations around the world to develop more bicycle customers and generate more revenue.

  • B. Thermoplastic carbon fiber composite bicycle wheel rims In 2024, machines, equipment and production lines were gradually completed and product validation and related safety tests of thermoplastic carbon fiber composite bicycle wheel rims are expected to be completed in the second quarter and samples will be sent to relevant customers. If all goes well, the company can begin taking orders and mass-producing. The production capacity can be expanded to meet the customer's needs according to the customer's business promotion time.

II. 2024 Business Plan Overview

  • (I) Business policy:

  • Actively develop the polymer composite product market

    • Accelerate the mass production schedule of new product lines, and actively develop the domestic and export markets.
  • Upgrade brand awareness

    • Upgrade product quality, establish brand awareness and Upgrade customer satisfaction.
  • Product improvement

5. Carbon Reduction

Achieving net zero carbon emissions is not only the international trend, but also an important way to enhance the green competitiveness of enterprise HYC will reduce carbon emissions by sustainable design, raw material procurement and green manufacturing. Get ahead of our customers.

(II) Expected sales volume and its basis:

The sales volume is determined according to the market demand and development trend, customer operation profile and the current order receiving situation of the Company, taking the output capacity of the Company into account. The target sales volume is 10,000 thousand kg.

  • (III) Important production and marketing policies:

  • Sales policy: Actively develop new product for markets and customer promotion, create product diversification and differentiation, and improve product added value.

  • Production policy: Comply with customers’ delivery dates, reserve capacity for quick order, and increase the adaptability of machines.

  • (IV) Future development strategy:

    • In addition to actively promoting product optimization and increasing the number of high value-added products, the Company focuses on its core business to differentiate rubber products and avoid low price competition. Among its composite material products, the Company combined 50 years of process technology and rubber research and development in its electronic grade heat-resistant cushioning pads, and developed environment-friendly cushioning pads that are stable with the capability of automated production and barcode management, and can be applied in the electronic industry. The thermoplastic composite material the Company developed has the characteristic of high temperature resistance up to 330°C, high strength that can be used to replace metals, environment-friendliness, recyclability and lightweight, and can be widely used in fields such as daily life and automobiles, and is expected to bring revenue in the future.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR23003336

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Hsin Yung Chien Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying individual balance sheets of Hsin Yung Chien Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related individual statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying individual financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the 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.

11

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Company’s 2023 individual financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s 2023 individual financial statements are stated as follows:

1. Timing of sales revenue recognition

Description

Refer to Note 4(25) for accounting policies on sales revenue and Note 6(17) for details of sales revenue. The Company is primarily engaged in manufacturing, processing, and sales of various types of rubber products. Sales revenues are recognised when the control of goods is transferred upon the goods arriving at the destination port in accordance with the contract terms. At the end of the month, manually check whether the transaction date is consistent with the actual arrival date, and the revenue is recognised. The process of revenue recognition involves numerous manual judgement and procedures, which may result in improper timing of sales revenue recognition, thus we consider the cut-off of sales revenue as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures in relation to the above key audit matter included:

  • A. Obtained an understanding and assessed the process of sales transactions and internal controls, and then tested theses controls to assess the effectiveness of sales revenue recognition timing determined by management.

  • B. Checked transaction documents to ensure that the sales transaction for a certain period before and after the balance sheet date is recorded in the proper time.

12

2. Assessment of allowance for inventory valuation losses

Description

Refer to Note 4(11) for accounting policy on inventory valuation, Note 5 for uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions in relation to inventory valuation, and Note 6(5) for details of allowance for inventory valuation losses. As of December 31, 2023, the Company’s inventories and allowance for inventory valuation losses amounted to $213,433 thousand and $16,683 thousand, respectively.

The Company is primarily engaged in manufacturing and sales of various types of rubber products. For inventory that is over a certain age and individually identified for impairment, the impairment is measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value, and provides allowance for inventory valuation losses based on individually identified reasonable net realisable value and usable condition of obsolete or slow-moving inventories. Considered the Company’s allowance for inventory valuation losses were material to its financial statements, and the determination of the net realisable value at balance sheet date involved judgements and estimates, we identified the allowance for inventory valuation losses a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

Our audit procedures in relation to the above key audit matter included:

  • A. Assessed the reasonableness of provision policies on allowance for inventory valuation losses based on our understanding of the Company’s operation and the characteristics of its industry.

  • B. Reviewed the Company’s annual physical inventory count plan and participated in the annual inventory count event in order to assess the classification of obsolete inventory and effectiveness of obsolete inventory internal control.

  • C. Obtained valuation statement of net realisable value of inventory, assessed whether the estimation policy was consistently applied, tested the estimation basis of the net realisable value with relevant information, including verifying the sales and purchase prices with supporting evidence, and recalculated and evaluated the reasonableness of the inventory valuation.

  • D. Obtained the Company’s inventory aging report and verified dates of movements with supporting documents. Ensured the proper categorisation of inventory aging report and recalculated inventory aging range to confirm that the report information was consistent with its policies.

13

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the 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 financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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 professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • A. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to

14

fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  • B. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

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

D. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the 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 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.

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

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.

15

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
