Appendix I
Panion & BF Biotech Inc. Business Report
I. Operating Results for 2025
The Company's consolidated operating revenue in 2025 was NT$2,063,392 thousand, an increase of NT$33,747 thousand or $2\%$ compared to 2024. The growth was mainly attributable to the increase in sales royalties and multiplex rapid antigen test reagents under the PBF Taiwan business unit, as well as the increase in operating revenue from cosmeceuticals and skincare products under the PBF China and Hong Kong/Macau business unit.
In 2025, the consolidated gross profit was NT$1,116,851 thousand, which represents an increase of NT$56,414 thousand or 5% compared to 2024. The increase was mainly attributable to the revenue growth from the PBF Taiwan and PBF China business units.
The consolidated operating expenses for 2025 was NT$809,003 thousand, representing a decrease of NT$45,768 thousand or 5% compared to 2024. This decrease was mainly attributable to effective overall budgetary control of consolidated operating expenses. In addition, the Company continued investing in: (1) the Infection Control product line, including pivotal clinical trials for Chlorhexidine Gluconate 2% Cloth for ICU, to extend into the long-term care and home-care markets; (2) Nephoxil® new indications clinical trials for the treatment of chronic kidney disease and NDA submissions, as well as in-licensing of a patented 3-in-1 new combination drug for erectile dysfunction; and (3) aesthetic medicine and anti-aging products age-reversal and age-defying product lines (including the new integrated PDO thread-and-cannula set, PLLA microspheres, exclusive exosome + PRP, and microneedle patches), covering new product development and clinical expenses. These investments aim to strengthen the Company's future competitive advantage in the market and drive increased revenue and profits.
As a result of the above factors, consolidated operating revenue, consolidated gross profit, and consolidated operating profit all increased in 2025 compared to 2024, resulting in consolidated net income after tax of NT$190,169 thousand in 2025, an increase of NT$65,646 thousand or $53\%$ compared to 2024. The EPS for 2025 was NT$2.22, an increase of NT$0.77 or $53\%$ compared to 2024.

II. Business Plan for 2026
(I) Operational Policy
In line with the fundamental principles of sustainable development, the Company is guided by its mission of “health, sharing, and caring,” centering its activities on enhancing health and quality of life. We focus on developing the health industry, continuously pursuing innovative R&D, and expanding sales channels. Our mission is to provide innovative solutions for the diverse health needs of people at every stage of life. Our R&D direction revolves around four core areas: disease treatment, disease prevention, disease diagnosis, and anti-aging. Based on product attributes, channel characteristics, and corporate integration, the Company is organized into six business units: Professional Health, Lifestyle Health, Aesthetic Medicine & Anti-aging, Innovative Diagnostics, Innovative Medicine, and Overseas Business. Future operations will continue to invest in innovative R&D and build a diversified product portfolio. Through strategic directions such as “New Drug + API,” “Aesthetic Medicine + Anti-aging,” and “Home-Use Diagnostics,” the Company will expand revenue sources, enhance product added value, and improve overall gross margin structure—pursuing medium- and long-term growth and sustainable operations while balancing operational stability and risk management.
(II) Sales Expectation and its Basis
Looking ahead to 2026, the Company has set aggressive sales targets based on the latest R&D progress, historical sales records, and market trends. As new product technologies mature and commercialization deployments come online, sales growth in the relevant product lines is expected to accelerate.
(III) Major Production and Marketing Policies
- Long-term R&D at the Core, Focusing on High-growth Medical Needs: Product development centers on disease diagnosis, treatment, prevention, and anti-aging. We continue to invest in innovative R&D,
strengthen differentiated technologies and patent portfolios, and create long-term value.
-
Vertical Integration of R&D and Manufacturing to Enhance Scale-up and Launch Efficiency: Through vertical integration of R&D, manufacturing, brand, and distribution, the Company accelerates product commercialization while ensuring stable quality and cost competitiveness.
-
Diversified Market and Sales Deployment: Our sales strategy is grounded in stabilizing the domestic market while gradually expanding into overseas markets based on product characteristics and regulatory progress. Through medical institutions, channel partnerships, and regional market deployment, the Company diversifies market concentration risk and enhances the diversity of revenue sources.
-
Supply Chain and Risk Management: In response to changes in raw materials, regulations, and market conditions, the Company continuously reviews supply chain stability and adopts multi-source supply and geographic diversification strategies to mitigate the impact of raw-material price volatility, regulatory adjustments, and external environmental changes on production, sales, and operations.
III. Future Development Strategies
(I) Disease Diagnosis
The Company's "Diagnostics" business focuses on developing forward-looking technologies and products. The Innovative Diagnostics Division, established in 2014, has actively developed technologies across various fields, including Multiplex Lateral-Flow Immunoassay (LFIA), Loop-Mediated Isothermal Amplification (LAMP), microfluidics, and IoT equipment. Through multi-dimensional applications and integration, the Company strengthens testing efficiency and accuracy, simplifies testing procedures, and optimizes medical-information management — meeting the needs of both professionals in medical institutions and lay-person end-users. In terms of product development, as of 2025 the Company has obtained TFDA approvals for multiple key products, including the Flu A/B & COVID-19 Antigen Rapid Test (professional and home-use versions), Flu A+B Antigen Rapid Test, Dengue NS1 Antigen Rapid Test, H. pylori Antigen Rapid Test, and Immunological Fecal Occult Blood Rapid Test. In addition to these products, the Company is expanding into chronic-disease testing, cancer testing, and cell-drug performance testing, preparing to better address the challenges of low birth rates and an aging population, while enhancing domestic diagnostic capacity and strengthening Taiwan's medical resilience. In terms of business expansion, starting from Taiwan, the Company has sold its products to major markets around the world, including North America, Latin America, Southeast Asia, and the Middle East. As the product portfolio continues to expand, further revenue growth is expected.
(II) Disease Treatment
For the kidney-disease drug market, the first-generation Nephoxil® primarily targets end-stage renal disease (ESRD) patients on dialysis, with strong market penetration in Korea. Internationally, the NDA in China is progressing in accordance with regulations, and in Thailand, DKSH supports channel expansion and market development. In Southeast Asia, Malaysia and the Philippines completed filings in 2024; the Philippines submitted responses and supplementary documents in 2025 pursuant to the regulator's comments, and Vietnam completed its NDA submission in 2025. The Company will continue to advance filings in line with each regulator's review timeline. In parallel, the Company is expanding Nephoxil® into the veterinary-medicine market (NephoPet) for cats and dogs with chronic kidney disease (approximately 340,000 animals in Taiwan's potential market), with clinical studies progressing steadily. For new-drug development, PBF-501 — a novel androgen-receptor-inhibitor acne treatment — is being advanced via the 505(b)(2) regulatory pathway, leveraging dermatological clinical resources for rapid introduction and accelerated development. PBF-502, a patented 3-in-1 new combination drug for sexual dysfunction, is being pursued under a dual-track “R&D + channel” strategy — advancing IND clinical formulation development and chemistry, manufacturing, and controls (CMC) on the R&D side to establish a robust technical barrier. The Greater China priority-licensing mechanism will be determined based on clinical results; in commercial deployment, the Company will leverage its established product channels in urology and sexual health.
10
(III) Anti-aging (Age-Defying & Age-Reversal)
-
Age-Reversal: (1) New Integrated Lifting Threads — Using proprietary mold integral forming technology, the product provides tensile strength exceeding 38.2N and is Taiwan's only domestically produced set integrating lifting threads with blunt-tip cannula. (2) Patented PLLA (poly-L-lactic acid) Microspheres — Featuring a 3D porous microsphere structure with diameters controlled at 30–100 µm, smooth surface, and dense internal structure. Benefits include rapid uniform dispersion, high injectability, and extremely low risk of nodule formation. The product offers full-layer injection capability, suitable for both superficial and deep dermal layers, and is positioned to capture share from traditional hyaluronic acid in the Taiwan market, with distribution channels being built in Hong Kong.
-
Age-Defying: (1) Exclusive Exosome + PRP — Combining proprietary extraction and activity-protection technology, the product overcomes room-temperature storage limitations and can be stored at room temperature for 3 years. It is positioned in the regenerative aesthetic medicine market. (2) Patented Multi-molecular Hyaluronic Acid — Uses thermal-cleavage technology to generate 9 different molecular weights, achieving multi-layer penetration and plumping effects. (3) Patented Mold-formed Microneedle Patches — Two-stage design (target layer + carrier layer) with precise control of needle length (450–600 µm) to deliver anti-aging ingredients at high density (169 needles/cm²) for precise, targeted delivery.
(IV) Disease Prevention
The Company continues to deepen its focus on public-health needs in the post-pandemic era, extending the infection-control product line from medical institutions to the long-term care system and home-care settings. We are accelerating the approval and launch of new-formulation skin-disinfection kits to fill the market gap in care for bedridden and post-operative patients, building a stable third profit pillar.
(V) Continuing to “Advance ESG,” Moving Toward Corporate Governance 3.0 and Sustainable Development
To implement sustainable development, the Company established a “Sustainable Development Committee” in 2022 as the dedicated body responsible for coordinating sustainability policies and implementation. As sustainability issues become increasingly intertwined with corporate operations, the Committee was elevated on August 12, 2025 from the General Manager's Office to a specialized committee reporting directly to the Board of Directors. The Committee's objective is to strengthen Board oversight of sustainable governance, with two overarching goals: “Sustainable Culture” and “Sustainable Growth.” Four functional teams support “Sustainable Culture”: the Environmental Sustainability Team, Social Responsibility Team, Corporate Governance Team, and Customer Care Team; and two functional teams support “Sustainable Growth”: the R&D Strategy Team and Organizational Strategy Team. The Executive Office of the Sustainable Development Committee regularly compiles implementation results and key issues and reports annually to the Board of Directors on sustainability progress to enhance the transparency and effectiveness of sustainability governance.
- Sustainable Culture
(1) Environmental Sustainability Team — In response to the competent authority's “Sustainable Development Roadmap for Listed Companies,” the Company proactively planned and executed greenhouse gas inventories and third-party assurance, strengthening the foundations of environmental management. We continue to pursue energy conservation and carbon reduction (including inventory and verification), waste management, and green-product development. In July 2025, the Company completed its 2024 greenhouse gas inventory report in accordance with ISO 14064-1:2018, and in August 2025 published the 2024 Sustainability Report; both have been externally verified by the British Standards Institution (BSI). In product development, we continue to introduce lightweight designs and prioritize environmentally friendly materials to implement principles of green design and circular economy.
(2) Social Responsibility Team — In the area of corporate social responsibility, the Company continues
11
to care for underprivileged groups and rural healthcare, sponsoring the Eden Social Welfare Foundation and supporting symphony performances, promoting the healthy development of body, mind, and spirit, and striving toward a society of truth, goodness, and beauty. In alignment with the Company's overall sustainability strategy, the Team supports community outreach, corporate-image building, and employee-safety initiatives to fulfill corporate social responsibility.
(3) Corporate Governance Team — The Company upholds the interests of investors and shareholders through a sound and professional Board composition and a fair and independent independent-director system. The Corporate Governance Team is responsible for corporate-governance management, regulatory compliance, anti-corruption, supplier management, and corporate-information disclosure. In risk management, on November 12, 2024, the Board approved the "Risk Management Policy and Procedures," covering major risk identification, risk analysis, monitoring and response, and risk reporting and disclosure, thereby strengthening the risk-management framework. Based on the principle of materiality, the Company conducts risk assessments of environmental, social, and governance issues relevant to its operations and establishes related risk-management policies and strategies. On November 11, 2025, the Board approved the revised "Sustainable Development Best Practice Principles."
(4) Customer Care Team — Ensures product quality and service, builds strong customer relationships, protects consumer health and interests, and delivers customer service, thereby enhancing customer satisfaction and brand reputation, and securing long-term trust and sustainable development with customers.
2. Sustainable Growth
(1) R&D Strategy Team — To strengthen the Company's core competitiveness and ensure the safety and compliance of R&D activities, the R&D Strategy Team is responsible for planning and overseeing safe R&D strategies, supervising R&D goals, and managing R&D outcomes.
(2) Organizational Strategy Team — In response to changes in the external operating environment and the Company's medium- and long-term development needs, the Organizational Strategy Team is responsible for coordinating organizational growth strategies, organizational development goals, operating performance, and sustainable operations management, to ensure stable operations and continuously improve organizational effectiveness.
IV. Effect of External Competitive Environment, Regulatory Environment, and Overall Business Environment
Facing global pharmaceutical supply-chain restructuring, raw-material price volatility, and continuing adjustments to National Health Insurance drug prices, the profit margin of the traditional pharmaceutical industry is increasingly compressed. In response to this challenging external environment, the Company is convinced that only through continuously optimizing pharmaceutical quality, implementing PIC/S GMP standards, and strengthening innovative R&D can it consolidate its market position. The Company remains committed to deepening the development of internationally patented new drugs and global channel deployment. In addition to the steady revenue contribution of its flagship product Nephoxil®, the Company is actively deepening its "API-to-formulation" vertical-integration strategy. By controlling key upstream raw materials and strengthening supply-chain resilience, the Company effectively manages costs and improves gross margin, thereby building a strong competitive moat against the fierce competition of the generic-drug market.
Looking ahead, in addition to consolidating the foundations of its core business, new-drug development will continue to focus on new formulations and new-indication expansion, extending product life cycles and creating higher value. On the broader business-environment front, Taiwan officially entered a "super-aged society" in 2025, and as the population ages, medical demand is shifting from simple disease treatment toward "preventive medicine" and "holistic health management." The Company will precisely align with this demographic trend, integrating its four core businesses — pharmaceuticals, precision diagnostics, aesthetic medicine, and nutritional supplements — and actively deploying in the anti-aging and chronic-disease
12
management markets. Our goal is not only to treat disease, but also to realize the vision of “Healthy Aging,” helping people maintain their optimal physiological functions and outward vitality, and achieving a long life and a life well-lived.
We firmly believe that, under the strategic leadership of the Board of Directors and the execution of all employees, the Company will respond flexibly to changing conditions, implement its ESG sustainability objectives, and — while delivering stable financial performance — create maximum value for shareholders' equity and social welfare.

The inventories of the Group are mainly pharmaceutical drugs, health supplements, chemical products and test reagents. The products may be outdated or no longer meet the market demand due to the rapid development of new products. In addition, the price competition in the same industry, and the demand on related products and their prices which may fiercely fluctuate, may result in a risk wherein the cost of inventories may exceed its net realizable value. The subsequent measurement of inventories relies on the management's subjective judgment using internal and external evidences. Therefore, the subsequent measurement of inventories was considered one of the key audit matters in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Assessing the rationality of accounting policy for inventory subsequent measurement; obtaining the documents on inventory subsequent measurement to determine whether they are in compliance with the accounting policy; understanding the rationality of sales prices adopted by the management, selecting samples and verifying the accuracy of net realizable value of inventories by examining relevant documents, and determining the reasonableness of the inventory provision recognized by the management.
Other Matter
The Company has prepared its parent company only financial statements 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 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 members of 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 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 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 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 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 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.
17
4-3
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 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 Wu, Chia-Han and Yin, Yuan-Sheng.

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors of PANION & BF BIOTECH INC.:
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of PANION & BF BIOTECH INC. ("the Company"), which comprise the statements of financial position 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 the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the accompanying financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of 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 of 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.
- Revenue recognition
Please refer to notes 4(n) and 6(o) for the related disclosures on revenue recognition.
Description of key audit matter:
Revenue is one of the key performance indicators for evaluating the financial and operational performance of the Company. The risk for the revenue being recognized in an incorrect period or being recognized with incorrect amounts presents a material misstatement to the parent company only financial statements. Therefore, revenue recognition was considered one of the key audit matters in our audit.
23
3-1
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Testing the effectiveness of the internal control over sales and receivable collection processes, including the evaluation of when to recognize the revenue from those significant contracts with customers; evaluating the sales to the top ten customers by considering the product type, the significant unusual changes in their receivables turnover ratio, and the changes, such as amount and ranking, in the current period to the last quarter, and to the same period in the prior year; selecting sales transactions within a period before and after the year-end, and vouching them with the related supporting documents to evaluate whether the revenue has been recognized in the correct accounting period and assess if the significant sales returns and allowances occur in the subsequent period.
- Subsequent measurement of inventories
Please refer to notes 4(g), 5 and 6(c) for the related disclosures on subsequent measurement of inventories.
Description of key audit matter:
The inventories of the Company are mainly pharmaceutical drugs, health supplements, chemical products and test reagents. The products may be outdated or no longer meet the market demand due to the rapid development of new products. In addition, the price competition in the same industry, and the demand on related products and their prices which may fiercely fluctuate, may result in a risk wherein the cost of inventories may exceed its net realizable value. The subsequent measurement of inventories relies on the management's subjective judgment using internal and external evidences. Therefore, the subsequent measurement of inventories was considered one of the key audit matters in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Assessing the rationality of accounting policy for inventory subsequent measurement; obtaining the documents on inventory subsequent measurement to determine whether they are in compliance with the accounting policy; understanding the rationality of sales prices adopted by the management, selecting samples and verifying the accuracy of net realizable value of inventories by examining relevant documents, and determining the reasonableness of the inventory provision recognized by the management.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the 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 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 members of 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 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 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 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 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 appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit.
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.
25
3-3
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 year ended December 31, 2025 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe 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 Wu, Chia-Han and Yin, Yuan-Sheng.

agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders' meeting. The provisions of the preceding paragraph shall apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders' meeting convened by a party other than the Board of Directors.
The chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda as set forth in the preceding two paragraphs (including extraordinary motions), except by a resolution adopted by the shareholders' meeting. If the chair declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the rules of procedure, other members of the Board of Directors shall promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chair according to statutory procedures with approval from a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.
During the meeting, the chair shall give ample opportunity to explain and discuss proposals, amendments or extempore motions put forward by shareholders. When the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chair may announce the discussion closed and call for a vote.
Article 11 Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak shall be determined by the chair.
An attending shareholder who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the shareholder's speech does not correspond to the subject provided on the speaker's slip, the content of his/her speech shall prevail.
Unless otherwise consented to by the chair, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed five minutes. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chair may terminate his/her speech.
When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chair and the shareholder who has the floor. The chair shall interrupt any such infringement.
When a corporate shareholder appoints two or more representatives to attend a shareholders' meeting, only one of its representatives may speak on the same proposal.
After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct the relevant personnel to respond.
Article 12 Votes cast at a shareholders' meeting shall be calculated based on the number of shares. With regards to resolutions of a shareholders' meeting, 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 it is likely that such a relationship may undermine the interests of the Company, the shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise his/her voting rights thereon as a proxy for any other shareholder.
The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised as mentioned in the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders.
With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder service agent approved by the competent authority in charge of securities, when a person is concurrently appointed as a proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by the proxy may not exceed three percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If this percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of this percentage shall not be included in the calculation.
Article 13 A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held; however, the foregoing shall not apply to shareholders with restricted shares or those with non-voting shares as stipulated in Article 179, Paragraph 2 of the Company Act.
43
When a shareholders’ meeting is convened, the Company shall adopt exercise of voting rights via electronic means and may adopt exercise of voting rights in writing. When voting rights are exercised in writing or via electronic means, the method for exercising voting rights shall be specified in the notice of shareholders’ meeting. A shareholder who exercises his/her voting rights in writing or via electronic means shall be deemed to have attended the meeting in person. However, the shareholder shall also be deemed to have abstained from voting on extempore motions and amendments to original proposals. Hence, it is advisable for the Company to avoid the submission of extempore motions and amendments to original proposals.
A shareholder who intends to exercise his/her voting rights in writing or via electronic means as mentioned in the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company two days prior to the shareholders’ meeting. In the event that multiple declarations of intent are delivered, the first one received by the Company shall prevail. However, the foregoing shall not apply when a declaration is made to cancel the previous declarations of intent.
If a shareholder wishes to attend the shareholders’ meeting in person after exercising his/her voting rights in writing or via electronic means, the shareholder’s declaration of intent to retract the voting rights exercised in the preceding paragraph shall be made known to the Company two days prior to the shareholders’ meeting via the same means of which voting rights are exercised. If the declaration of intent is submitted after that period, the voting rights exercised in writing or via electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder exercises his/her voting rights in writing or via electronic means and appoints a proxy to attend the shareholders’ meeting on his/her behalf, the voting rights exercised by the proxy at the meeting shall prevail.
Unless otherwise provided by the Company Act and the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, a resolution shall be adopted by a majority of the shareholders present at the meeting.
When voting on a proposal, the chair or the person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders before putting the proposal to a vote by the shareholders. After the conclusion of the shareholders’ meeting, the voting results for each proposal, including the number of votes for and against the proposal and the number of abstentions, shall be uploaded onto MOPS.
In the event of an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal along with the original proposal and decide on the order in which these proposals are put to a vote. When any of these proposals are approved, the other proposal shall be deemed to be rejected with no further voting required.
Vote-monitoring and vote-counting personnel shall be designated by the chair; however, all vote-monitoring personnel have to be shareholders of the Company.
Vote counting for proposals or elections at a shareholders’ meeting shall be conducted in public at the location of the shareholders’ meeting. Immediately after vote counting is completed, the voting results, including the numbers of votes counted, shall be announced on-site at the meeting, with a record of the voting results made as well.
Article 14 The election of directors at a shareholders’ meeting shall be conducted in accordance with the relevant election and appointment rules adopted by the Company. The chair or the master of ceremonies shall announce the voting results on-site, including the list of candidates elected as directors and the number of votes they receive, as well as the list of candidates not elected as directors and the number of votes they receive.
Ballots for the election mentioned in the preceding paragraph shall be sealed with the signatures of the vote-monitoring personnel and kept for at least one year. However, if a shareholder files a lawsuit in accordance with Article 189 of the Company Act, the ballots shall be retained until the conclusion of the lawsuit.
Article 15 Resolutions adopted at a shareholders’ meeting shall be recorded in the meeting minutes,
44
with the signature or seal of the chair affixed to it. The meeting minutes shall be distributed to each shareholder within 20 days after the meeting. The meeting minutes may be produced and distributed via electronic means.
The Company may distribute the meeting minutes mentioned in the preceding paragraph by means of a public announcement made on MOPS.
The meeting minutes shall accurately record the year, month, day, and location of the meeting, the full name of the meeting chair, the method for adopting resolutions, a summary of the proceedings, and voting results (including the number of voting rights), and disclose the number of voting rights won by each candidate in the event of an election of directors. The meeting minutes shall be kept permanently throughout the duration of the Company’s existence.
Article 16 On the day of a shareholders’ meeting, the Company shall compile in the prescribed format a statistical statement of the number of shares solicited by proxy solicitors and the number of shares represented by proxies, and shall make a clear disclosure of the aforesaid information at the location of the shareholders’ meeting.
If the agenda items put to a vote for resolution at a shareholders’ meeting constitute material information under the relevant laws and regulations or under the regulations set forth by Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation (and Taipei Exchange), the Company shall upload the content of these resolutions onto MOPS within the prescribed time period.
Article 17 The personnel in charge of handling administrative affairs at a shareholders’ meeting shall put on an identification card or an armband.
The chair may direct the proctors (or security personnel) to help maintain order at the meeting location. The proctors (or security personnel) shall put on an armband bearing the word “Proctor” when helping to maintain order at the meeting location.
At a location equipped with public address equipment, the Chair may stop a shareholder speaking using any device that is not provided by the Company.
When a shareholder violates the rules of procedure and defies the chair’s directives, obstructing the proceedings and refusing heeds to stop, the chair may direct the proctors or security personnel to escort the shareholder off the meeting location.
Article 18 When a meeting is in progress, the chair may announce a break at his/her discretion based on time considerations. In the event of a force majeure event, the chair may rule to temporarily suspend the meeting and, depending on situation, announce the time to resume the meeting.
If the meeting location is no longer available for continued use and not all of the items (including extempore motions) on the meeting agenda have been addressed, the shareholders’ meeting may adopt a resolution to resume the meeting at another location. The shareholders’ meeting may, in accordance with Article 182 of the Company Act, adopt a resolution to postpone or resume the meeting within five days.
Article 19 These Rules shall take effect upon approval by the shareholders’ meeting. The foregoing shall also apply to any amendments thereto.
