-
The principles for authorizing the Board of Directors to conduct private placement of common shares or/and domestic unsecured convertible bonds
-
(I). The principles of private placement of common shares to be proposed to the shareholders' meeting to authorize the board of directors:
-
Total monetary amount of private placement: Calculated based on the final private placement price.
-
Par value per share: NT$10.
-
Number of shares in private placement: 79,500,000 shares as the maximum number of shares issued.
-
The basis and reasonableness of the private placement pricing:
5
-
(1) The price of the Company's private placement of common shares was set at no lower than the simple average closing price of the common shares of the Company for either the 1, 3, or 5 business days before the price determination date, after adjustment for any distribution of stock dividends, cash dividends or capital reduction or the simple average closing price of the common shares of the Company for the 30 business days before the price determination date, after adjustment for any distribution of stock dividends, cash dividends, or capital reduction. The price was determined by the higher of the two calculations
-
(2) Percentage of private placement pricing: The price per share of the private placement shall not be lower than 80% of the reference price.
-
(3) The issuance conditions for the private placement were set because the Securities and Exchange Act imposes a three-year transfer restriction on the private placement of marketable securities and strictly regulates the qualifications of the placees. The price of the private placement was determined in accordance with the relevant regulations of the competent authorities and with reference to the Company's operating performance, most recent net worth and recent stock price, etc., and was determined to be reasonable.
-
(4) In accordance with the preceding pricing principles, if the actual price of a future offering may be lower than the par value because the price in the centralized securities exchange market does not exceed the par value or is close to the par value, the pricing is determined in accordance with the relevant laws and regulations and should be reasonable. If such a situation occurs, the effect on shareholders' equity will be the cumulative loss arising from the difference between the actual price of the private placement and the face value. If the cumulative loss of the Company increases and affects shareholders' equity, the Company will, depending on its future operations and market conditions, cover the loss by a capital reduction or, in the future, cover the loss from earnings or capital reserves.
-

6
Company's operations and to help the Company enhance its competitive advantages.
-
(2) The necessity and anticipated benefits: Considering that the transfer restriction of private placement securities can ensure the long-term relationship between the Company and the investors, it should have its own necessity. The use of the private placement funds is in response to the Company's operational development requirements, which will strengthen its competitiveness and enhance its efficiency, and will positively contribute to the Company's operation and shareholders' equity.
-
(3) If the placees are related parties or insiders, the method and objective of selecting them is to consider their potential willingness to apply, the timing of the issuance process and the time efficiency of the fund raising to ensure that the private placement is completed within the actual schedule.

Attachment 1: 2024 Business Report
Roo Hsing Co., Ltd. 2024 Business Report
Dear Shareholders:
Firstly, we would like to express our gratitude for your valuable time spent reviewing the business report of Roo Hsing Co., Ltd. (hereafter” Roo Hsing” or the “Company”) for the fiscal year 2024.
Roo Hsing, a major player in the denim jeans industry with a leading global position, has encountered significant challenges in recent years. In 2024, the apparel sector gradually emerged from the downturn experienced the previous year. Although regional conflicts and climate-related factors led to higher transportation costs, the Company was able to mitigate the impact through global capacity allocation and efficient shipment scheduling. As a result, revenue increased by 10.15% compared to 2023. Moreover, continued production optimization contributed to a sustained improvement in gross profit margin over the previous year.
Looking ahead to 2025, the management team will remain focused on cost reduction, strengthening competitiveness, optimizing the global production footprint, and deepening cooperation with existing brand clients. The Company also aims to develop new business cooperation models to enhance customer loyalty. Despite the ongoing uncertainty surrounding U.S. tariff policies—the largest apparel market—Roo Hsing expects to maintain stable growth supported by its flexible global capacity deployment. In line with the positive performance in 2024, the Company is actively engaging with financial institutions to seek financing opportunities, aiming to reduce financial costs, strengthen working capital, and generate greater returns for shareholders.
As of December 31, 2024, the Company's accumulated losses decreased to NT$7,301,230 thousand due to the profit achieved during the year. However, the accumulated losses still exceeded half of the Company’s paid-in capital. Nevertheless, the capital reduction to offset losses approved by shareholders in 2024 was declared effective by the competent authority in February 2025. The subsequent capital reduction process will be carried out in accordance with regulations, which is expected to effectively eliminate accumulated losses and enhance the Company’s net asset value per share.

The financial performance for the Company's 2024 along with the business plan for 2024:
-
I. Operating Results for 2024

In 2024, the Company recorded a consolidated revenue of NT$14,889,120 thousand, marking a decrease of approximately 10.15% from the NT$13,517,416 thousand consolidated revenue in the preceding year. The main reason was the recovery of the apparel market in 2024, which led to an increase in revenue. In addition, effective cost control resulted in a higher gross profit margin. As a result, operating gross profit increased from NT$2,218,322 thousand in 2023 to NT$2,498,279 thousand in 2024, marking a robust increase of 12.62%. Consequently, the after-tax net loss for 2024 was NT$98,962 thousand, representing a significant improvement compared to the net loss of NT$557,653 thousand in 2023.

II. Summary of the 2024 Business Plan
-
(1) Business Strategy
19
To align with our clients’ environmental sustainability commitments and to meet consumer demands, the Company continues to pursue industry integration and strengthen its global competitiveness, with the aim of maximizing shareholder value. The Company’s primary business strategies are as follows:
-
Deepening Engagement with Key Brand Clients
:Focus on high gross margin orders, extend the LDP (landed duty paid) model, and deepen collaboration with the top five clients (collectively accounting for approximately 90% of total revenue) by proactively delivering added value. -
Prudent Innovation and Smart Manufacturing
:Continue investing in automation equipment, plan for the introduction of collaborative robotics to reduce labor costs, and improve product quality and production efficiency. -
Implementation of Sustainable Development Principles
:Strengthen ESG practices and strive to secure green procurement orders from international brands, thereby enhancing product premium potential. Initiatives include the use of laser and ozone machines to reduce water usage in production processes, adoption of solar power to reduce carbon emissions, and establishment of water recycling systems to lower energy consumption. -
Global Deployment and Risk Management
:Reinforce flexible allocation of multi-regional production capacity to mitigate risks associated with geopolitical tensions and tariff fluctuations. Raw material procurement strategies are dynamically adjusted to reduce exposure to exchange rate and cost volatility. -
(2) Major Production and Sales Policies, Projected Sales Volume and Basis Thereof The Company continues to refine its production and sales operations in the denim apparel sector. On the sales front, we focus on aligning more closely with major brand clients to enhance value creation and ensure customer and consumer satisfaction. On the production side, regional risks have occasionally led to increased costs in raw materials and logistics. In response, the Company adapts its global manufacturing layout in line with client requirements and remains committed to improving production efficiency and labor productivity. Additionally, the Company has not made any public financial forecasts for the year 2025; therefore, no projected sales volume is disclosed.
III. Future Business Development Strategies
- Textiles are considered essential consumer goods, and the apparel market
20
encompasses a wide variety of items. Although jeans have recently faced competition from functional clothing, they remain a classic and enduring product with strong market demand. Our company will continue to serve our brand clients with advanced production technologies and value-added services to secure their support :
-
Technological Innovation and Product R&D
:We will continue to invest in automation technologies, develop new eco-friendly denim fabrics, and enhance product value-added. Additionally, we will invest in smart manufacturing to achieve fully digitalized production and process management. -
Market and Product Diversification
:We aim to expand into emerging markets such as Southeast Asia and other parts of Asia by establishing multi-regional sales channels. While focusing on the denim apparel market, we also plan to explore the knitwear segment. -
Digital Transformation and Low-Carbon Production
:We are promoting digital transformation by integrating big data and AI technologies to enhance supply chain management and market forecasting capabilities. -
Brand and Image Enhancement
:By implementing ESG strategies and fulfilling corporate social responsibility, we strive to elevate brand value and attract customers who prioritize sustainable development. -
Strengthening Financial Structure
:On one hand, we will seek to revitalize company assets to inject liquidity into operations. On the other hand, we are actively engaging with financial institutions to secure financing at favorable interest rates, continue to introduce strategic investors through private placements, and plan to raise capital via public offerings to meet operational funding requirements.
IV. Impact from External Competitive Landscape, Regulatory Environment, and Macroeconomic Conditions
(1) External Competitive Landscape:
- Competition in the global denim market has intensified, with Southeast Asian peers aggressively undercutting prices to capture orders, leading to a squeeze in gross margins. The Company will continue to maintain its competitive edge through technological innovation and differentiation strategies.
(2 )Regulatory Environment:
- With the increasing stringency of international environmental and labor regulations, the Company is committed to ensuring all production processes remain compliant with applicable standards.
21
-
In response to the European Union's implementation of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM), the Company will increase the proportion of renewable energy usage to mitigate cost impacts.
-
The African Growth and Opportunity Act (AGOA) allows manufacturers in eligible countries to export garments made from third-country fabrics to the U.S. duty-free. This enhances the competitiveness of the Company’s factory in the Tanzanian production zone.
-
The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP), a free trade agreement formed by the 10 ASEAN countries along with China, Japan, South Korea, New Zealand, and Australia, aims to reduce tariff barriers. As the Company’s primary manufacturing base is located in Cambodia (a member of ASEAN), this is favorable for production planning and capacity allocation.
(3) Macroeconomic Environment:
-
The Company mitigates the risk of raw material price volatility through supply chain management.
-
Given uncertainties arising from U.S. trade tariffs, the Company will respond through timely adjustment of production capacity and shipment planning across regions.
We are sincerely grateful for the continued support from our shareholders. The Ruentex team will uphold the principles of prudent management and strive toward sustainable corporate development and maximization of shareholder value. We kindly ask all shareholders to maintain their unwavering support and encouragement for Ruentex, as in the past.
Wishing you all good health and success,
.

Looking ahead, while global tariff uncertainties remain, the management team will continue to focus on cost optimization, efficiency improvement, and global deployment strategies to mitigate regional risks, with the goal of sustaining growth in shareholder value.

Attachment 5: Independent Auditors’ Report and the Financial Statements
Independent Auditors’ Report
Roo Hsing Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Roo Hsing Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related parent company only financial 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, based on our audits, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only 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 accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Independent auditor’s 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 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.
31
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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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, 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:
Impairment assessment of investments accounted for under the equity method
Please refer to Note 4(16) to the parent only financial statements for the accounting policies of impairment of non-financial asset; refer to Note 6(9) to the parent company only financial statements for the details of investments accounted for under the equity method.
The Company acquired JD United (BVI) Limited and Tooku Holdings Limited, ADNY Group, Inc.; Nanjing USA, Inc. and 3Y Universal Company Limited in previous years. The net goodwill generated were NT$ 1,108,101 thousand, NT$ 551,032 thousand and NT$ 188,558 thousand respectively, accounting for 8%, 4%, and 1% of the total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2024, respectively. The Company conducts impairment tests on relevant cash-generating units in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards. The Company assessed the recoverable amount by value in used since the fair value of related cash-generating units cannot be reliably measured. The recoverable amount was not lower than the book value and therefor no impairment loss was recognized. The carrying amount of goodwill was material to the Company, the assessment of value in used was complicated and the assumptions used by management in the cash flow forecast involved significant subjective judgment. Therefore, we considered the impairment assessment of investments accounted for under the
32
Independent Auditors’ Report (Continued)
equity method as one of the key audit matters for the year.
Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, obtaining financial forecast information from the management, interviewing management to analyze the reasonableness of gross margin, revenue growth, overall market and economic forecast included in the financial forecast; assessing the subjective evidence, procedures and factors considered in the assessment of impairment used by management to identify indication of impairment and whether they have been consistently adopted; inquire the current situation and development of the industry, and compare the data of the same industry to confirm the reliability of the data on which the financial forecast is based, analyze the method and assumptions used by the management to calculate the value in use, and compare the difference between the customer’s historical financial forecast and the actual financial forecast to evaluate the reasonableness of the cash flow; use management’s experts to assist us to evaluate the relevance and rationality of the management’s important assumptions (expected growth rate, market average rate of return and discount rate, etc.), including referring to companies with similar specifications to cash-generating units, assessing the rationality of key input values in calculating discount rates such as the cost of equity, company-specific risk premium, and market risk premium, and to confirm and evaluate the rationality and feasibility of major assumptions.
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 “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 parent company only financial statements that are free
33
Independent Auditors’ Report (Continued)
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 charges with governance, including members of the Audit Committee are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Independent auditor’s 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 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 parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only parent 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 the one
34
Independent Auditors’ Report (Continued)
resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
-
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 Company’s internal controls.
-
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 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 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 footnote disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentations.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the Company’s investee companies accounted for under equity method to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of audit of the Company’s investee companies. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
35
Independent Auditors’ Report (Continued)
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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 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.

Independent Auditors’ Report
Roo Hsing Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Roo Hsing Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred as the “Group”) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the related consolidated financial statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended 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, 2024 and 2023, 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 accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Independent 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 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.
45
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, 2024. 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:
1. Evaluation of inventories
Please refer to Note 4(13) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies of evaluation of inventories; refer to Note 5(2) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting estimates and assumptions of the evaluation of inventories; and please refer to Note 6(7) to the consolidated financial statements for the details of inventories account.
Inventories of the Group are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Due to the fierce competition of textile products and the rapidly changing market, the risk that the inventory cost may exceed the net realizable value; and related estimation relies on the subjective judgment of the management, which is an uncertain accounting estimate. Therefore, we considered the evaluation of inventories as one of the key audit matters for the year.
Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, understanding the inventory evaluation policy adopted by the Group, and checking whether it has been implemented in accordance with established accounting policies; sampling the correctness of the inventory age and performing an inventory aging analysis; reviewing the rationality of the provision for inventory allowance for the losses in the past, and compare it with the method and assumptions for estimating inventory allowance for the losses in the current period; to evaluate whether the methods and assumptions for estimating inventory allowance for the losses in the current period are appropriated.
46
Independent Auditors’ Report (Continued)
2. Revenue recognition
Please refer to Note 4(26) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies of revenue recognition; refer to Note 6(27) to the consolidated financial statements for the details of revenue.
The Group is mainly engaged in the manufacturing and processing of denim clothing. The Group recognized operating revenues in the amount of NT$14,889,120 thousand in 2024. Operating revenues from top ten customers represented 98% of consolidated operating revenues. Due to the small number of customers and concentration of sales, conditions for the transfer of merchandise and trade conditions are not the same, resulting in different timing of meeting performance obligations, which increases the complexity of revenue recognition. Therefore, we considered the evaluation of inventories as one of the key audit matters for the year.
Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policy for revenue recognition; evaluating the effectiveness of internal control in the transaction process related to revenue recognition and performing tests of control by selecting samples (including new sales related party customers in the current year with significant amounts and newly added as top 10 important sales customers); reviewing the terms of new sales contracts for the year for any significant difference between new customers and general customers, reviewing the journal entries before and after the balance sheet date to understand whether there is any significant or unusual transaction, recurring or material return of goods in subsequent period; performing gross margin and price-volume analytical procedures according to revenue information classified based on product and customer types; selecting appropriate samples to perform tests of details and inspect the sales orders, finished goods stock out, sale invoices, export declaration certificates and subsequent receipts to ensure sales revenue had been appropriately recognized and the customer and the recipient are the same; selecting a period before and after the balance sheet date to
47
Independent Auditors’ Report (Continued)
perform sales cut-off test, sampling revenue transactions to review related certificates; to confirm revenue is properly cut-off.
3. Impairment assessment of goodwill
Please refer to Note 4(19) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies of impairment of non-financial asset; refer to Note 6(14) to the consolidated financial statements for the details of goodwill.
The Group acquired JD United (BVI) Limited and Tooku Holdings Limited, ADNY Group, Inc.; Nanjing USA, Inc. and 3Y Universal Company Limited in previous years. The net goodwill generated were NT$1,108,101 thousand, NT$ 551,032 thousand and NT$188,558 thousand, respectively, accounting for 8%, 4%, and 1% of the total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2024, respectively. The Group conducts impairment tests on relevant cash-generating units in accordance with the International Financial Reporting Standards. The Group assessed the recoverable amount by value in use since the fair value of related cash-generating units cannot be reliably measured. The recoverable amount was not lower than the book value and no impairment loss was recognized for the year. The carrying amount of goodwill was material to the Group, the assessment of value in used was complicated and the assumptions used by management in the cash flow forecast involved significant subjective judgment. Therefore, we considered the impairment assessment of goodwill as one of the key audit matters for the year.
Our audit procedures included, but were not limited to, obtaining financial forecast information from the management, interviewing management to analyze the reasonableness of gross margin, revenue growth, overall market and economic forecast included in the financial forecast; assessing the subjective evidence, procedures and factors considered in the assessment of impairment used by management to identify indication of impairment and whether they have been consistently adopted; inquire the current situation and development
48
Independent Auditors’ Report (Continued)
of the industry, and compare the data of the same industry to confirm the reliability of the data on which the financial forecast is based, analyze the method and assumptions used by the management to calculate the value in use, and compare the difference between the customer’s historical financial forecast and the actual financial forecast to evaluate the reasonableness of the cash flow; use management’s experts to assist us to evaluate the relevance and rationality of the management’s important assumptions (expected growth rate, market average rate of return and discount rate, etc.), including referring to companies with similar specifications to cash-generating units, assessing the rationality of key input values in calculating discount rates such as the cost of equity, company-specific risk premium, and market risk premium, and to confirm and evaluate the rationality and feasibility of major assumptions.
Other Matters
We have audited the parent company only financial statements of Roo Hsing Co., Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2024 and 2023 on which we have issued an unqualified 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 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.
49
Independent Auditors’ Report (Continued)
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 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 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.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards, 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 the one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal controls.
50
Independent Auditors’ Report (Continued)
-
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.
-
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 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.
-
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.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the Group’s investee companies accounted for under equity method to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of audit of the Group’s investee companies. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
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.
51
Independent Auditors’ Report (Continued)
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, 2024 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.
