Kingcan Holdings Limited
2025 Business Report

The global economic environment this year remains in a phase of adjustment with high uncertainty. Geopolitical conflicts in various regions have not yet fully eased, with the ongoing war between Russia and Ukraine and the fluctuating situation in the Middle East. Additionally, major economies continue to maintain relatively tight monetary policies, and due to inconsistencies in policy approaches, global economic growth momentum has shown a moderate slowdown. Meanwhile, with the ongoing regionalization and de-risking adjustments in the global supply chain, corporate capital expenditures have become more cautious, further intensifying competition in the end consumer market. Overall, the global economy this year exhibits a new normal characterized by "a high interest rate environment, supply chain restructuring, and competitive industrial efficiency."

The Group's main production bases are located in mainland China. During this fiscal year, the economic policy focus has continued to emphasize stable growth, promoting consumption, and driving industrial upgrading. Under the promotion of structural transformation and industrial optimization policies, the major manufacturing industries are gradually moving toward high efficiency and high added value development. However, the overall economy still faces challenges such as limited momentum for domestic demand recovery, overcapacity in certain industries, fluctuations in raw material prices, and intensified cross-regional competition among peers. In this environment, the Group will continue to strengthen cost control capabilities, optimize product structure, and make appropriate capital expenditure investments to maintain its competitive advantage in the industry. The following is a statement of the company's operating situation in 2025 and the future outlook of the Republic of China in 2026 as follows:

The company is the top-level listed holding parent company of the group, responsible for overall investment strategy planning and supervision of the operations of various invested companies, with operational bases covering eight locations including Fujian, Shandong, Henan, Shaanxi, Hubei, Guangdong in mainland China, and Hsinchu in Taiwan. The consolidated revenue in 2025 was NT$9.187 billion, achieving an annual growth rate of 2.60%. However, due to intense market competition adversely affecting the product sales mix has the current fiscal year resulted in an operating loss; despite the pressure from market competition and the impact of product portfolio adjustments, the Group has maintained a stable operating scale. The management team continues to promote improvements in production line efficiency and automation upgrades, centralized material procurement management, financial structure optimization, continuous adjustment of foreign currency borrowing structure, and lean management of operating expenses. Through these measures, the Group aims to enhance the overall operational robustness, maintain liquidity at a safe level, and lay a solid foundation for future development.

  1. Metal packaging materials for tinplate and aluminum cans

At the operating place of the sub-investment company- (1) Mainland China, in the face of potential oversupply and price competition pressure, the Group has actively responded to potential industry oversupply and pricing competition pressures by implementing product specification differentiation,


developing high value-added specialty cans, consolidating production lines and improving operational efficiency, as well as optimizing the customer portfolio. These efforts are aimed at enhancing the product mix and gross margin structure while strengthening long-term competitiveness. (2) In Taiwan, The Taiwan market is a relatively mature and steadily developing market with comparatively stable growth momentum. However, the Hsinchu plant possesses significant advantages in customized can development and alignment with international quality standards. Going forward, it will continue to cultivate niche markets, enhance product added value, and deepen cooperation with regional brands.

2. Filling and canning foundry business

As the Group continues of deepening vertical integration of the industrial chain, the filling and packaging plants in Fujian Kingcan Foods Co., Ltd. and Hubei Kingcan Foods Co., Ltd. will strengthen long-term cooperative relationships with key customers and provide one-stop integrated services for metal packaging manufacturing and filling and canning. This aims to enhance customer retention and supply chain stability, with the expectation that the integrated model will reduce customers' supply chain and time costs while improving the group's overall revenue stability.

Looking ahead to the new year, in the face of the ongoing intense changes in global interest rates, exchange rates, and industrial competition, the company will continue to: deepen the core competitiveness of its main business, strengthen product structure optimization and high value-added product development, improve production line capacity efficiency and intelligent manufacturing standards, actively promote vertical integration and strategic cooperation, and enhance capital efficiency and stable cash flow management, with the aim of maximizing the benefits for all stakeholders. In addition, we will continue to advance the company's green factory production and the implementation of ESG to achieve sustainable corporate development. The management team will adhere to the principles of prudence and pragmatism, focus on core business operations and long-term value creation, and generate sustainable growth results for shareholders, employees, and partners. Finally, we thank all shareholders for their consistent support and encouragement of the company's management.

Wishing peace and joy

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors of Kingcan Holdings Limited:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Kingcan Holdings Limited and its subsidiaries (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 ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, and 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 Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years ended in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), International Accounting Standards ("IASs"), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee("IFRIC") or the former Standing Interpretations Committee ("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 Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants" and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's 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 Accountants of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, 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 Group's 2025 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, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Group's 2025 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:

The correctness of the recognition timing of sales revenue

Description

For the accounting policy for revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4 (28) to the consolidated financial statements; for the description of the accounting subjects of sales revenue, please refer to Note 6 (20) to the consolidated financial statements.

The operating income of Kingcan Group mainly comes from the manufacture and sale of metal packaging containers, and the recognition of its income depends on the transaction conditions agreed with the customers. Since the impact of revenue on the overall consolidated financial statements is extremely significant, the recognition of revenue is based on the timing of the transfer of control over commodities, and the process of revenue recognition usually involves manual control, and it is possible that revenue may not be recognized in the appropriate period; therefore, the accountant listed the correctness of the cut-off time of sales revenue recognition as one of the most important items to check.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:


Our audit procedures for the specific aspects described in the key audit matter above are summarized as follows:

A. Understand the operating procedures of Kingcan Group's metal packaging container sales revenue, evaluate and test the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system for the recognition of the sales revenue.

B. Verify the sales revenue transactions of metal packaging containers for a certain period before and after the balance sheet date, and check the vouchers for the transfer of control of the goods to confirm the correctness of the cut-off time for the recognition of sales revenue transactions.

Management and governance's responsibilities for consolidated financial statements

In accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRSs"), International Accounting Standards ("IASs"), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ("IFRIC"), the management prepare consolidated financial statements in proper expression and sustain its necessity in related to internal control to ensure that it is out of major untrue expression caused by fraud or error.

It includes the evaluation for the Group's ability for continue operation, disclosure of the relevant matters and the adoption of accounting basis for continue operation, unless the management intent to liquidate the Group or close the business, or in addition to liquidate or stop out of industry not practical's other solutions.

Governance unit (include Audit Committee) takes the responsibilities to supervise the financial reporting process.

Auditor's 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 auditor's report. Reasonable assurance means a high degree of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in 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 the consolidated financial statements.

When conducting the audit work per the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercised professional judgment and maintained professional skepticism. 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 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.

  2. Understood the internal control related to the audit in order to design the appropriate audit procedures in the circumstances, but not to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.

  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 a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's 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 auditor's 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 disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

12


  1. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the 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 communicated with those in charge of 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 identified during our audit).

We provided those in charge of governance a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements for independence under the Norms of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China. We also communicated with them regarding all relationships and other matters (including relevant protection measures) that could reasonably be thought to bear on our independence.

From the matters communicated with those in charge of governance, we determined those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025, and were therefore the key audit matters. We described these matters in our auditor's 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 audit resulting in this independent auditors' report are Yu-Chuan Wang and Mei-Lan Liu.
