Jinli Group Holdings Limited 2025 Business Report

  1. 2025 Annual operating performance

In 2025, China's macro-economic environment experienced steady growth. According to the "Statistical Communiqué of the People's Republic of China on the 2024 National Economic and Social Development" released by the National Bureau of Statistics, the income of urban and rural residents continued to rise in 2024. The annual national per capita disposable income reached RMB 43,377, a 5.0% increase over the previous year, or a real growth of 4.3% after adjusting for price factors. National per capita consumption expenditure amounted to RMB 29,476, up 4.4% from the previous year, with a real growth of 4.4% after adjusting for price factors. Furthermore, total retail sales of consumer goods for the full year of 2025 reached RMB 50.1 trillion, representing a year-on-year increase of 3.7%. Following the post-pandemic adjustment phase, global economic activity gradually stabilized in 2025. However, the momentum of global economic growth remained moderate, influenced by shifts in the international political and economic landscape, geopolitical risks, inflationary pressures, and adjustments in the monetary policies of major economies. Nations continued to seek a balance between controlling inflation and sustaining growth, leaving the overall economic environment subject to a certain degree of uncertainty. In the Chinese market, growth momentum remained in an adjustment phase due to structural economic transitions and changes in domestic and foreign demand. Nonetheless, driven by government policies to stimulate domestic demand and industrial development, market consumption momentum has gradually stabilized. The overall market scale and long-term development potential continue to hold distinct advantages. Regarding financial performance, the Company's consolidated revenue for 2025 was NT$148 million, representing an 11.28% increase from NT$133 million in 2024. The consolidated net income before tax for 2025 reached NT$216 million, a significant improvement compared to the consolidated net loss before tax of NT$3 million in 2024. The 2025 after-tax earnings per share (EPS) stood at NT$0.12.

  1. 2026 Summary of annual operating plan

Looking ahead to 2026, the global economy remains influenced by fluctuating international political and economic conditions, geopolitical risks, inflationary pressures, and adjustments in the monetary policies of major economies. Consequently, a degree of uncertainty persists in overall economic development. While demand in certain markets is gradually stabilizing, the momentum of global economic growth requires continued observation, as the corporate operating environment still faces numerous challenges.

The Chinese economy is expected to maintain steady growth, with policies continuing to support domestic demand expansion and industrial upgrading. Incomes of urban and rural

  • 16 -

residents and the consumer market are recovering progressively, with retail and e-commerce still holding long-term growth potential. Enterprises must closely monitor shifts in market demand and prudently adjust product strategies and channel distribution to enhance competitiveness and seize development opportunities arising from domestic demand growth and industrial upgrading.

The Company will uphold its commitment to stable operations, continuing to expand its client base, develop new products, and optimize production processes. We remain dedicated to improving operational efficiency and corporate competitiveness to create long-term value for our shareholders.

Independent Auditors' Report

Jinli Group Holdings Limited

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Jinli Group Holdings Limited (the "Company") and its subsidiaries (collectively referred as the "Group") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits, 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 Preparations of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations 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 auditing standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Independent auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the "Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with this Code. Based on our audits, we believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

Independent Auditors' Report (Continued)

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. We determined the key audit matters should be communicated in our audit report are as follows:

Cash and cash equivalents

Please refer to Note 4(6) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies of evaluation of cash and cash equivalents; and please refer to Note 6(1) to the consolidated financial statements for the details of cash and cash equivalents accounts.

As of December 31, 2025, the balance of cash and cash equivalents of the Group is $4,822,372 thousand, accounting for 68% of the total consolidated assets, due to the significant proportion of balances and the inherent risks; we therefore considered the cash and cash equivalents as the key audit matters for the year.

Our audit procedures included, but are not limited to, obtaining the list of bank deposits balances in the account of the Group, and verifying them to the bank statements; checking the receipt and payment vouchers of major cash and cash equivalents transaction; to check all bank confirmations whether it matches the bank deposit balance in the account, and check whether there are restrictions on bank deposits.

Financial assets at amortized cost

Please refer to Note 4(7) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies of evaluation of financial assets at amortized cost; and please refer to Note 6(2) to the consolidated financial statements for the details of financial assets at amortized cost.

  • 21 -

Independent Auditors' Report (Continued)

As of December 31, 2025, the balance of financial assets at amortized cost of the Group is $1,348,347 thousand, accounting for 19% of the total consolidated assets, due to the significant proportion of balance and the inherent risks; we therefore considered the financial assets at amortized cost as the key audit matter for the year.

Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, obtaining details of the balance of financial assets amortized at cost (time deposits) in the accounts of the Group, checking to the certificate of deposits, and checking to the bank confirmation; to assess whether it is consistent with the balance of the time deposit in the account, and check whether the time deposit is restricted.

Revenue recognition

Please refer to Note 4(23) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies of revenue recognition; and please refer to Note 6(16) to the consolidated financial statements for the details of revenue.

The main operating income of the Group is manufacturing and selling a range of clothing and footwear in the wholesale market. The Group mainly fulfill the performance obligations at the point of time when the goods are delivered, and the sales revenue will be recognized at that point of time. As of December 31, 2025, the portion of operating income which is outstanding for collection as the key audit matter for the year.

The audit procedures performed by us include the understanding of recognition process of sales revenue transaction of the Group, and the assessment of whether the revenue recognition meets the requirements of the International Financial Reporting Standard No. 15 "Revenue from Contracts with Customer"; and execute the test on whether the relevant control points of the sales and collection cycle are valid; obtain the sales details and check the general ledger, and select the vouchers of relevant sales transaction; obtain the audit confirmation letter and review the subsequent collection of payment after balance sheet date, in order to confirm whether there are major abnormalities in sales revenue.

Independent Auditors' Report (Continued)

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 Preparations of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the 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 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 charges with governance, including members of the Audit Committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

Independent 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 a report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards 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.


Independent Auditors' Report (Continued)

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. 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 risks of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for the one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal controls 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 controls.

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

  4. 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 going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our 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 report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  6. 24 -


Independent Auditors' Report (Continued)

  1. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of audit of the Group. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding 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 relationship 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, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our 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.

19.6 For so long as any Shares are listed on the TWSE, subject to the provisions of the Statute, the Company shall adopt the electronic transmission as one of the methods for exercising the voting power of a Member unless R.O.C. securities authority requires otherwise. Where these methods of exercising voting power are to be available at a general meeting, they shall be described in the general meeting notice given to the Members in respect of the relevant general meeting.

  • 68 -

stipulated in the written or electronic document, nor exercise any voting right in respect of any resolution revised at the meeting or any impromptu proposal at the meeting.

If a Member who has submitted a written ballot or electronic transmission pursuant to Article 19.6 does not submit such a revocation before the prescribed time, the proxy deemed to be given to the chairman of the general meeting pursuant to Article 19.6 shall not be revoked and the chairman of the general meeting shall exercise the voting right of such Member in accordance with that proxy.

19.8 A Shareholder who elects to exercise voting power by way of a written ballot or an electronic transmission shall submit his vote to the Company in the manner specified in the notice of that meeting at least two (2) days prior to the meeting date. Whereas if two (2) or more such written ballot or electronic transmission are submitted to the Company, the first written ballot or transmission shall prevail unless it is expressly stated in the subsequent written ballot or electronic transmission that the original vote submitted by written ballot or electronic transmission be revoked.

20 Proxies

20.1 An instrument of proxy shall be in writing, be executed under the hand of the appointor or of his attorney duly authorised in writing, or, if the appointor is a corporation under the hand of an officer or attorney duly authorised for that purpose. A proxy need not be a Member of the Company.

The notice must set out expressly the reason for the revocation of the proxy, whether due to the incapacity or the lack in authority of the principal at the time issuing the proxy or otherwise.

In such event the Directors shall do all acts and things required to give effect to such capitalisation, with full power to the Directors to make such provisions as they think fit such that Shares shall not become distributable in fractions (including provisions whereby the benefit of fractional entitlements accrue to the Company rather than to the Members concerned).

  3. The writing is unclear and indecipherable or has been altered.
  4. The candidate whose name is entered in the ballot does not conform to the director candidate list.
  5. Other words or marks are entered in addition to the number of voting rights allotted.

Article 11

The voting rights shall be calculated on site immediately after the end of the poll, and the results of the calculation, including the list of persons elected as directors and the numbers of votes with which they were elected, shall be announced by the chair on the site.

The ballots for the election referred to in the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures of the monitoring personnel and kept in proper custody for at least one year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the ballots shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation.
