2024 Business Report
Business Results of the Previous Year
Business Plan Implementation Results and Budget Execution:
In 2024, despite disparities in economic and inflationary trends driven by differences in economic and financial structures, the overall global economy remained resilient. In our major market of the United States, inflation slowed, initiating an interest rate cut cycle. Additionally, the labor market did not decline as expected, easing labor market pressures. As a result, the economic environment remained stable, driving increased consumer spending.Under these favorable conditions, Jia Wei saw a recovery in the U.S. consumer market, with consolidated annual revenue reaching NT$5.725 billion, a 20.46% year-on-year increase, setting a record for the highest revenue in the Company’s history.

Summary of Business Plan of This Year
Business Strategy:
With the transformation of the global economy, the manufacture-centered economy is moving towards service economy, knowledge economy, creative economy, and eventually experience economy. The competitive edge of an industry does not depend solely on land, capital or labor, but the integration of knowledge, creativity, culture and character. Design is about more than design but something that connects life and culture, and the imagination about the relationship between design and life has also become more complex and diversified, contributing to changes in the "meaning of life and the value of consumption."
The houseware product industry is deeply intertwined with the population and economy, as well as a reflection of culture. We aim to enhance the quality of houseware products that bring positive experience in terms of sight and touch, while combining an elegant home environment with a refined taste that encourages a lifestyle centered on enjoyment.
As for our outlook for 2025, faced with uncertainties regarding the new U.S. government's tariff and fiscal policies, Jia Wei will begin mass production at its new facility in Vietnam this year. By diversifying its production bases and enhancing its flexible, robust shipping capabilities, the Company aims to mitigate tariff-related operational risks. With the added production capacity from the Vietnam plant, Jia Wei will not only continue to serve the U.S. market but will also actively expand into the European, Japanese, and South Korean markets, strengthening its global business footprint.
Furthermore, Jia Wei will continue to actively engage in customer operational transformations. In addition to offering high-quality products, the Company is involved in customer online platform sales and has established a warehousing system in Houston, Texas, to provide domestic distribution services within the U.S. This shift from traditional business partnerships to strategic alliances will help continuously improve service quality and increase customer loyalty.
The Company will also focus on advancing our sustainable material technologies and research and development, leading the industry with its manufacturing process of R-PET decorative decals. This allows exceptional design aesthetics to be fully realized in eco-friendly material products, meeting market and customer demands. The usage of R-PET is growing year by year, becoming a new
11
mainstream in the market. In summary, despite the ever-changing global environment, Jia Wei remains committed to sustaining its growth momentum, driving operational growth for both its customers and itself, while practicing sustainable business operations.
Expected Sales Volume and Basis:
The sales volume is based on the market demand and the orders the Company receives.
Significant production and sales policies:
The Company shall integrate operations, production and sales information and systems to meet the requirements for global multi-site business operations in the future, optimize the operation foundation, and consolidate strength for medium and long-term development.
The company's future development strategy, and the effect of external competition, the legal environment, and the overall business environment.
The Company shall collect and pay attention to relevant information on changes in the external competitive environment, regulatory environment and overall operating environment at all times, and quickly develop necessary response measures to meet the Company's operational development needs.
In the future, all employees of the Company will continue to be diligent and conscientious while striving to enhance the Company’s competitiveness.
We aim to become an enterprise with sustainable operations and reward our shareholders with more profits.
Thank you again for your continuous support for the Company throughout the year!

Independent Auditors’ Report
To Jia Wei Lifestyle, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jia Wei Lifestyle, Inc. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of material accounting policies (together “the consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of 31 December 2024 and 2023, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed and became effective by 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 Company and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits, 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 significant in our audit of 2024 consolidated financial statements. 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.
13
1. Revenue Recognition
The main source of revenue for the Company and its subsidiaries is the sale of household goods and recognized by the Company amounted to $5,724,758 thousand. Since the products are mainly for overseas companies and shipped by sea, the income is recognized when the ownership and control of the promised goods are transferred to the customer and the performance obligation is fulfilled., we therefore considered this a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included (but were not limited to), understanding and testing the effectiveness of internal control in the sales cycle at the time of revenue recognition, selecting samples (including the newly added top ten customers in this period) to perform test of control, selecting samples to perform test of details, such as check sales orders, finished product delivery orders, sales invoices, export declarations and subsequent payments, etc., including checking whether the sales was appropriately recognized and the recipient of the payment is the same company, performing cut-off tests before and after the balance sheet date, performing analytical procedures on monthly sales revenue and gross profit margin. We also considered the appropriateness of disclosures of operating revenues in Notes 4.(18) and 6.(14) to the consolidated financial statements.
2. Loss allowance for accounts receivable
As of 31 December 2024, the Company and its subsidiaries’ accounts receivable and loss allowance amounted to $1,085,753 thousand and $55,351 thousand, respectively. The net accounts receivable accounted for 17% of the total assets. Since the amount of allowance for receivables is measured by the lifetime expected credit loss, the measurement process must appropriately group the accounts receivable and determine the use of relevant assumptions in the analytical and measurement procedures, including the appropriate accounting aging schedule and the loss rate of each accounting aging interval. The measurement of expected credit losses involved judgment, analysis and estimation, while the measurement results would affect the net amount of accounts receivable, we therefore considered this a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included (but not limited to) analyzing the appropriateness of the grouping method of accounts receivable; understanding the appropriateness of the management’s provision of allowances for bad debts; testing the provision matrix the Company and its subsidiaries adopted, including assessing whether the aging interval is reasonably determined; testing the statistical information related to the average loss rate based on the monthly roll rate, and assessing its reasonableness; selecting samples to perform test the correctness of the aging; selecting samples to check the collection situation after the period of accounts receivable and assessing the recoverability. We also considered the appropriateness of the disclosure of the expected credit impairment loss of accounts receivable in Notes 4.(8), 5.(3) and 6.(15) of the consolidated financial statements.
14
3. Impairment Loss for Intangible Assets (Including Goodwill)
The Company and its subsidiaries’ goodwill amounted to $845,283 thousand as of 31 December 2024, as a result of goodwill arising from the acquisition. The goodwill accounted for 14% of the total assets, and the impairment assessment is based on management’s assessment and involves assumptions such as accounting estimates. Therefore, we considered this a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included (but not limited to), evaluating the management’s assessment approaches and assumptions of value in use; involving internal expert to assist us in evaluating the reasonableness of key assumptions used by management such as discount rates, involving internal expert to assist us in evaluating the reasonableness of key components of discount rates such as cost of equity, company-specific risk premium and market risk premium by comparing them to other companies of similar size with the cash-generating units; interviewing management and assessing the reasonableness of assumptions used in their model such as gross margin, growth rates, and the expected future market and economic conditions; comparing the actual financials to date with previously forecast financials and analyzing the Company’s historical data and performance to assess the reasonableness of the cash flow forecast. We also considered the appropriateness of the impairment assessment of goodwill in Notes 4.(16), 5.(4) and 6.(22) of the consolidated financial statements.
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 requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by 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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
15
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and 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 internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.
-
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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries. 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 Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To Jia Wei Lifestyle, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Jia Wei Lifestyle, Inc. (the “Company”) as of 31 December 2024 and 2023, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including the summary of material accounting policies (together “the parent company only financial statements”).
In our opinion, the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as of 31 December 2024 and 2023, and their parent company only financial performance and cash flows for the years ended 31 December 2024 and 2023, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statements 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 (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits, 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 significant in our audit of 2024 parent company only financial statements. 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.
23
1. Revenue Recognition
The main source of revenue for the Company is the sale of household goods and recognized by the Company amounted to $5,588,488 thousand. Since the products are mainly for overseas companies and shipped by sea, the revenue is recognized when the ownership and control of the promised goods are transferred to the customer and the performance obligation is fulfilled, we therefore considered this a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included (but were not limited to), understanding and testing the effectiveness of internal control in the sales cycle at the time of revenue recognition, selecting samples (including the newly added top ten customers in this period) to perform test of control , selecting samples to perform test of details, such as check sales orders, finished product delivery orders, sales invoices, export declarations and subsequent payments, etc., including checking whether the sales was appropriately recognized and the recipient of the payment is the same company, performing cut-off tests before and after the balance sheet date, performing analytical procedures on monthly sales revenue and gross profit margin. We also considered the appropriateness of disclosures of operating revenue in Notes 4.(17) and 6.(14) to the parent company only financial statements.
2. Loss allowance for accounts receivable
As of 31 December 2024, the Company’s accounts receivable and loss allowance amounted to $1,092,004 thousand and $12,485 thousand, respectively. The net accounts receivable accounted for 19% of the total assets. Since the amount of allowance for receivables is measured by the lifetime expected credit loss, the measurement process must appropriately group the accounts receivable and determine the use of relevant assumptions in the analytical and measurement procedures, including the appropriate accounting aging schedule and the loss rate of each aging interval. The measurement of expected credit losses involved judgment, analysis and estimation, while the measurement results would affect the net amount of accounts receivable, we therefore considered this a key audit matter.
Our audit procedures included (but not limited to) analyzing the appropriateness of the grouping method of accounts receivable; understanding the appropriateness of the management’s provision of allowances for bad debts; testing the provision matrix the Company adopted, including assessing whether the aging interval is reasonably determined; testing the statistical information related to the average loss rate based on the monthly roll rate, and assessing its reasonableness; selecting samples to perform test the correctness of the aging; selecting samples to check the collection situation after the period of accounts receivable and assessing the recoverability. We also considered the appropriateness of the disclosures of the expected credit impairment loss of accounts receivable in Notes 4.(7), 5.(2) and 6.(15) of the parent company only financial statements.
24
- Impairment assessment of investments accounted for using equity method
As of 31 December 2024, the reinvestment amount was material and goodwill was generated with the reinvestment. While the amount was material using the equity method, impairment assessment was based on the assessment of management, which also involved accounting assumptions, we therefore considered this a key Audit matter.
Our audit procedures included (but not limited to), understanding and evaluating the rationality of the management’s basis and procedures for assessing the impairment of the asset, including analyzing the sales model and regions involved; evaluating the management’s assessment approaches and assumptions of value in use; involving internal expert to assist us in evaluating the reasonableness of key assumptions used by management such as discount rates , involving internal expert to assist us in evaluating the reasonableness of key components of discount rates such as cost of equity, company-specific risk premium and market risk premium by comparing them to other companies of similar size with the cash-generating units; interviewing management and assessing the reasonableness of assumptions used in their model such as gross margin, growth rates, and the expected future market and economic conditions; comparing the actual financials to date with previously forecast financials and analyzing the Company’s historical data and performance to assess the reasonableness of the cash flow forecast. We also considered the appropriateness of disclosures of investments accounted for using equity method in Notes 4.(11), 5.(3) and 6.(5) to the parent company only financial statements.
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 requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company, 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.
25
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and 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 internal control of the Company.
-
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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. 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.
26
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the 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 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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 2024 parent company only financial statements 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.

- Article 11: An attending shareholder shall issue and submit a floor note before speaking at the shareholder meeting. The floor note shall expressly describe the subject of his or her opinions and his or her shareholder account number (or the code of the participation certificate) so that the chairperson may fix the order of speaking. The present shareholders only hand in the speaker's slip but fail to make a speech are deemed to have not made a speech. If the content of the speech is inconsistent with that on the speaker's slip, the content of the speech shall prevail.
Except with the consent of the chairperson, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chairperson may terminate the speech.

When a juridical person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to attend a shareholders' meeting, only one of the representatives so appointed may speak on the same proposal.
After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chairperson may respond in person or designate a directly relevant member of personnel to respond.
-
Article 12: Voting at a shareholders' meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares. With respect to the resolutions of shareholders' meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.
-
When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of the Company, such a shareholder shall not vote on that item, and shall not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.
The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the
54
preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.
With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed 3% of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.
Article 13: A shareholder shall have one vote in respect of each share; however, this limit is not applicable to those who are restricted, or who do not have the right to vote under Paragraph 2, Article 179 of the Company Act.
When the Company convenes a shareholder meeting, the shareholder shall exercise its voting rights via electronic means and the shareholder may also exercise such rights in writing. When exercising its voting rights in writing or electronic means, he/she shall list the method of exercise in the advice of convening shareholder meeting. Shareholders who exercise their voting rights in writing or electronic means are deemed to attend the shareholders' meeting in person. However, the questions and motions of the shareholders' meeting and the amendment to the original proposal are deemed to be a waiver.
A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic transmission under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company two days before the date of the shareholders' meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail. However, when a declaration is made to cancel an earlier declaration of intent is not subject to the limits.
After the shareholders exercise their voting rights in writing or electronic means, if they want to attend the shareholders' meeting in person, they shall cancel the intent of exercising voting rights in the preceding paragraph in the same manner as exercising the voting rights two days before the shareholders' meeting; if it is canceled after the time limit, voting rights exercised in writing or via electronic means shall prevail. If the voting rights are exercised in writing or via electronic means and a proxy is entrusted to attend the shareholders' meeting by a power of attorney, the voting rights exercised by the attending entrusted proxy shall prevail.
The voting of proposal shall be passed upon the majority of the voting rights of the present shareholders, unless otherwise specified by the Company Act and the Articles of Incorporation. At the time of voting, the total number of voting rights of the present shareholders shall be announced by the chairperson or the personnel who he designates case by case. The shareholders shall vote on each proposal and the results of shareholders' agreement, objection, and abstention shall be entered in the Market
55
Observation Post System.
When there is an amendment or an alternative to the same proposal, the chairperson shall decide its order of voting with the original proposal. If one of the proposals has been passed, the other proposals are deemed to be vetoed and no further voting is required.
