INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Sheng Yu Steel Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Sheng Yu Steel Co., Ltd. (the "Company"), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the "parent company only financial statements").
In our opinion, 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, 2025 and 2024, 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 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 the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of Parent Company Only 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 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 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.
The key audit matter in the Company's parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 is as follows:
Recognition of Revenue
The main products of the Company are galvanized and prepainted steel coils; contribution of the sale of certain products to gross profit is significant. Management of the Company may manipulate revenue if it is under pressure to achieve its goal. We assessed that the main source of risk may arise from the occurrence of sales revenue. Therefore, we identified the recognition of revenue from products with unit selling prices that are significantly higher than average, the amounts of sales with significant changes and the recognition of revenue from particular customers with significant changes in sales as a key audit matter.
Refer to Note 4 to the financial statements for the related accounting policies and disclosures of revenue recognition. Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the abovementioned sales recognition of revenue
included the following:
- We understood the design and implementation of the internal controls and tested the operating effectiveness of controls related to the sales cycle.
- We confirmed that the control of products had been transferred and the performance obligation was satisfied by checking the related delivery documents; we inspected the collection receipts of goods to verify that the counterparties of collections were consistent with those of the transactions.
- We confirmed the accuracy of sales revenue by sending confirmation requests of sales revenue of the year.
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 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 the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, 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 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 and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 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 auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Xiu-Wen Chen and Lee-Yuan Kuo.

IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” and consequential amendments
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1 “Presentation of Financial Statements”. The main changes comprise:
- To classify items of income and expenses presented in the statement of profit or loss into the operating, investing, financing, income taxes and discontinued operations categories, the Company shall assess whether it has specified main business activities of investing in particular types of assets and providing financing to customers.
- The statement of profit or loss shall present totals and subtotals for operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income taxes and profit or loss.
- Provides guidance to enhance the requirements of aggregation and disaggregation: The Company shall identify the assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses and cash flows that arise from individual transactions or other events and shall classify and aggregate them into groups based on shared characteristics, so as to result in the presentation in the primary financial statements of line items that have at least one similar characteristic. The Company shall disaggregate items with dissimilar characteristics in the primary financial statements and in the notes. The Company labels items as “other” only if it cannot find a more informative label.
- Disclosures on Management-defined Performance Measures (MPMs): When in public communications outside financial statements and communicating to users of financial statements management’s view of an aspect of the financial performance of the Company as a whole, the Company shall disclose related information about its MPMs in a single note to the financial statements, including the description of such measures, calculations, reconciliations to the subtotal or total specified by IFRS Accounting Standards and the income tax and non-controlling interests effects of related reconciliation items.
In addition, the following consequential amendments have been made to IAS 7 “Statement of Cash Flows”:
-
The Company shall use operating profit or loss as the starting point when presenting cash flows from operating activities under the indirect method.
-
11 -
- Interest and dividends received by the Company shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. However, if, after assessment, the Company has a specific main operating activity, it shall determine how to classify dividends received, interest received and interest paid in the statement of cash flows by referring to how it classifies dividend income, interest income and interest expense in the statement of profit or loss. The total of each of these cash flows shall be classified in a single category in the statement of cash flows.
Except for the above impact, as of the date the parent company only financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company is continuously assessing the other impacts of the above amended standards and interpretations will have on the Company's financial position and financial performance and will disclose the relevant impact when the assessment is completed.
4. SUMMARY OF MATERIAL ACCOUNTING POLICY INFORMATION
a. Statement of compliance
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
b. Basis of preparation
The parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments that are measured at fair value and net defined benefit assets which are measured at the present value of the defined benefit obligation less the fair value of plan assets.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:
1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e. as prices) or indirectly (i.e. derived from prices); and
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company used the equity method to account for its investment in subsidiaries and associates. In order to agree with the amount of net income for the year, other comprehensive income for the year and total equity attributable to owner of the Company in the consolidated financial statements, the differences of the accounting treatment between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis are adjusted under the heading of investments accounted for using the equity method, share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method, share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and associates accounted for using the equity method and the related equity accounts, as appropriate, in the parent company only financial statements.
c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities
Current assets include:
1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and
- 12 -
3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period. Current liabilities include:
Current liabilities include:
1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; and
3) Liabilities for which the Company does not have the substantial right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
d. Foreign currencies
In preparing the financial statements of the Company, transactions in currencies other than the Company's functional currency (i.e. foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the period except for exchange differences arising from the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which cases, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income.
Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are not retranslated.
For the purpose of presenting the parent company only financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations (including subsidiaries and associates in other countries that use currencies different from the functional currency of the Company) are translated into the New Taiwan dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
e. Inventories
Inventories consist of raw materials, supplies, finished goods, work-in-process, and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at weighted-average cost.
f. Investments accounted for using the equity method
Investments in subsidiaries and associates are accounted for using the equity method.
1) Investments in subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities that are controlled by the Company.
- 13 -
Under the equity method, the investment in a subsidiary is initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the subsidiaries. The Company also recognizes the Company’s share of the changes in other equity of the subsidiaries.
The Company assesses its investments for any impairment by comparing the carrying amount with the estimated recoverable amount based on the financial statements as a whole of the invested company. Impairment loss is recognized when the carrying amount exceeds the recoverable amount. If the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases, the Company recognizes reversal of the impairment loss; the adjusted post-reversal carrying amount should not exceed the carrying amount that would have been recognized (net of amortization or depreciation) had no impairment loss been recognized in prior years. An impairment loss recognized on goodwill cannot be reversed in a subsequent period.
Profits and losses resulting from downstream transactions with a subsidiary are eliminated in full in the parent company only financial statements. Profits and losses resulting from upstream transactions with a subsidiary and side stream transactions between subsidiaries are recognized in parent company only financial statements only to the extent of interests in the subsidiaries that are not related to the Company.
2) Investments in associates
An associate is an entity over which the Company has significant influence and that is not a subsidiary.
The Company uses the equity method to account for its investment in associate. Under the equity method, investments in an associate are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Company’s share of the profit or loss and other comprehensive income of the associate. The Company also recognizes the Company’s share of the changes in other equity of the associates.
When the Company subscribes for additional new shares of an associate at a percentage different from its existing ownership percentage, the resulting carrying amount of the investment will differ from the amount of the Company’s proportionate interest in the associate. The Company records such a difference as an adjustment to investments with the corresponding amount charged or credited to capital surplus - changes in the Company’s share of equity of the associate. If the Company’s ownership interest is reduced due to the additional subscription of the new shares of the associate, the proportionate amount of the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to that associate is reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the investee had directly disposed of the related assets or liabilities. When the adjustment should be debited to capital surplus, but if the capital surplus recognized from investments accounted for using the equity method is insufficient, the shortage is debited to retained earnings.
When the Company’s share of losses of an associate equal or exceed its interest in that associate, the Company discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate.
The entire carrying amount of the investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is deducted from the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increased.
- 14 -
When the Company transacts with its associates, profits and losses resulting from the transactions are recognized in the parent company only financial statements only to the extent that interests in the associates are not related to the Company.
g. Property, plant, and equipment
Property, plant and equipment (“PPE”) are initially measured at cost, and subsequently measured at cost less recognized accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.
PPE in the course of construction are measured at cost. Before the asset reaches its intended use its measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and any proceeds from selling the asset and the cost of the asset are recognized in profit or loss. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of PPE when completed and ready for their intended use.
Except for freehold land, which is not depreciated, the depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
On derecognition of an item of PPE, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
h. Investment properties
Investment properties (“IPs”) are properties held to earn rentals and/or for capital appreciation. IPs also include land held for a currently undetermined future use.
Freehold IPs are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, IPs are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation. Depreciation is recognized using the straight-line method.
On derecognition of an IP, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is included in profit or loss.
i. Intangible assets
Intangible assets with finite useful lives and acquired separately are computer software, which is initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates being accounted for on a prospective basis.
j. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset, investment properties and intangible assets
At the end of each reporting period, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset, investment properties and intangible assets, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. Corporate assets are allocated to the smallest group of cash-generating units on a reasonable and consistent basis of allocation.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying
- 15 -
amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
Before the Company recognizes an impairment loss from assets related to contract costs, any impairment loss on inventories, property, plant and equipment and intangible shall be recognized in accordance with applicable standards. Then, impairment loss from the assets related to the contract costs is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the assets exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the Company expects to receive in exchange for related goods or services less the costs which relate directly to providing those goods or services and which have not been recognized as expenses. The assets related to the contract costs are then included in the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit to which they belong for the purpose of evaluating impairment of that cash-generating unit.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset or cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
k. Non-current assets held for sale
Non-current assets are classified as held for sale if their carrying amounts will be recovered principally through a sale transaction rather than through continuing use. This condition is regarded as met only when the sale is highly probable and the non-current asset is available for immediate sale in its present condition. To meet the criteria for the sale being highly probable, the appropriate level of management must be committed to the sale, and the sale should be expected to qualify for recognition as a completed sale within 1 year from the date of classification.
When the Company is committed to a sale plan involving the disposal of an investment in an associate, only the investment that will be disposed of is classified as held for sale when the classification criteria are met, and the Company discontinues the use of the equity method in relation to the portion that is classified as held for sale.
Non-current assets classified as held for sale are measured at the lower of their previous carrying amount and fair value less costs to sell. Such assets classified as held for sale are not depreciated.
l. Financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
1) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
a) Measurement category
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at amortized cost.
- 16 -
Financial assets at amortized cost
Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
i The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
ii The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, notes and trade receivables (including related parties) at amortized cost, other receivables (including related parties), other financial assets and refundable deposits, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset, except for:
i Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets; and
ii Financial assets that are not credit-impaired on purchase or origination but have subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.
Credit-impaired financial assets mean that the issuer or counterparty has experienced significant financial difficulties, defaults, and the counterparty is likely to file for bankruptcy or undergo a financial re-organization, or the disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties.
Cash equivalents include time deposits, repurchase agreements collateralized by bonds investments with original maturities within three months from the date of acquisition, highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.
b) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables).
The Company always recognizes lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) for trade receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Company recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Company measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.
Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In
- 17 -
contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.
For internal credit risk management purposes, the Company determines that a financial asset is in default when internal or external information shows that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors (without taking into account any collateral held by the Company).
The impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in their carrying amounts through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and the carrying amounts of such financial assets are not reduced.
c) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset has expired, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of an investment in an equity instrument at FVTOCI, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss, and the cumulative gain or loss which had been recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred directly to retained earnings, without recycling through profit or loss.
2) Equity instruments
Equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as equity in accordance with the definition of an equity instrument.
Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
3) Financial liabilities
a) Subsequent measurement
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.
b) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.
m. Revenue Recognition
The Company identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
1) Revenue from the sale of goods
Revenue from the sale of goods is recognized when the committed goods are delivered to customers and satisfied performance obligations. Transaction price received is recognized as a contract
- 18 -
liability until performance obligations are satisfied.
Revenue is measured at the fair value, which is the discounted present value of the price (net of commercial discounts and quantity discounts) agreed on by the Company with its customers. Estimated discounts or other allowances of the consideration received are recognized as refund liabilities. For a contract where the period between the date the Company transfers a promised good or service to a customer and the date the customer pays for that good or service is one year or less, the Company does not adjust the promised amount of consideration for any effect of a significant financing component.
Export sales are recognized when products are loaded onto shipping vessels in accordance with the sales terms, and domestic sales are recognized when products are delivered to and accepted by the customers.
The Company does not recognize sales revenue on materials delivered to subcontractors because this delivery does not involve a transfer of risks and rewards of materials ownership.
2) Revenue from the rendering of services
Revenue from process contracts and technical support service is recognized at the contractual rates as direct expenses and labor hours are incurred.
n. Lease
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
1) The Company as lessor
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases. Initial direct costs incurred in obtaining operating leases are added to the carrying amounts of the underlying assets and recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
2) The Company as lessee
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets, which comprise the initial measurement of lease liabilities, are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.
- 19 -
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in a lease term or a change in an index or a rate used to determine those payments, the Company remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. For a lease modification that is not accounted for as a separate lease, the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by (a) decreasing the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset of lease modifications that decreased the scope of the lease, and recognizing in profit or loss any gain or loss on the partial or full termination of the lease; (b) making a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use asset of all other lease modifications. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the balance sheets.
o. Employee benefits
1) Short-term employee benefits
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related service.
2) Retirement benefits
Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when employees have rendered service entitling them to the contributions.
Defined benefit costs (including service cost, net interest and remeasurement) under the defined benefit retirement benefit plans are determined using the projected unit credit method. Service cost and net interest on the net defined benefit liability are recognized as employee benefits expense in the period they occur. Remeasurement, comprising actuarial gains and losses and the return on plan assets (excluding interest), is recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which it occurs. Remeasurement recognized in other comprehensive income is reflected immediately in retained earnings and will not be reclassified to profit or loss.
Net defined benefit assets represent the actual surplus in the Company's defined benefit plans. Any surplus resulting from this calculation is limited to the present value of any refunds from the plans or reductions in future contributions to the plans.
3) Termination benefits
A liability for a termination benefit is recognized at the earlier of when the Company can no longer withdraw the offer of the termination benefit and when the Company recognizes any related restructuring costs.
p. Carbon fee provision
In accordance with the Regulations Governing the Collection of Carbon Fees and related regulations of the ROC, the carbon fee provision is recognized and measured on the basis of the best estimate of the expenditure required to settle the obligation for the current year.
q. Taxation
Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.
1) Current tax
Income tax payable is based on taxable profit for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.
- 20 -
According to the Income Tax Act in the ROC, an additional tax on unappropriated earnings is provided for in the year the shareholders approve to retain earnings.
Adjustments of prior years’ tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year’s tax provision.
2) Deferred tax
Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities in the parent company only financial statements and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit. Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associate, except where the Company is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the asset to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liability is settled or the asset realized, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.
3) Current and deferred tax for the year
Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity respectively.
- MATERIAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY
In the application of the Company’s accounting policies, management is required to make judgments, estimates and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
The Company considers the possible impact of the recent economic environment implications when making its material accounting estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewing on an ongoing basis.
- 21 -
Key sources of estimation uncertainty - Write-down of inventories
The net realizable value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and disposal. The estimation of net realizable value is based on current market conditions and historical experience with product sales of a similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of net realizable value.

Receivables at amortized cost
Receivables are measured at amortized cost. Refer to Note 24 for the accounting policies related to credit limits and credit management.
The Company measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on accounts receivable are estimated using a provision matrix by reference to the past default records of the debtor and an analysis of the debtor's current financial position. As the Company's historical credit loss experience does not show significantly different loss patterns for different customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further distinguished according to the Company's different customer base.
The following table details the loss allowance of trade receivables based on the provision matrix:

In January 2026, the board of directors resolved to dispose of the entire equity interest in Yodogawa-Shengyu (Hefei) High-Tech Steel Co., Ltd. The Company will enter into an equity transfer agreement with a non-related party and expects to complete the sale within 12 months. The investment accounted for under the equity method has been reclassified as non-current assets held for sale.
As the anticipated disposal proceeds are lower than the carrying amount of the investment, an impairment loss of NT$ 28,801 thousand has been recognized (recorded under other losses), and the remaining balance has been reclassified as non-current assets held for sale.

17. RETIREMENT BENEFIT PLANS
a. Defined contribution plans
The Company adopted a pension plan under the Labor Pension Act ("LPA"), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, the Company makes monthly contributions to employees' individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages.
b. Defined benefit plans
The defined benefit plan adopted by the Company in accordance with the Labor Standards Act (“LSA”) is operated by the government of the Republic of China. Pension benefits are calculated on the basis of the length of service and average monthly salaries of the six months before retirement. The Company contributes amounts equal to certain percentage of total monthly salaries and wages to a pension fund administered by the pension fund monitoring committee. Pension contributions are deposited in the Bank of Taiwan in the committee’s name. Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the pension fund. If the amount of the balance in the pension fund is inadequate to pay retirement benefits for employees who conform to retirement requirements in the next year, the Company is required to fund the difference in one appropriation that should be made before the end of March of the next year. The pension fund is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor (the “Bureau”); the Company has no right to influence the investment policy and strategy.
In addition, in order to improve the human resource structure and operating performance, the Company implemented an early retirement preferential plan in 2025. The preferential pension calculated based on this plan was NT$22,487 thousand, which was recognized as operating costs and operating expenses.
The amounts included in the balance sheets in respect of the Company’s defined benefit plans were as follows:

Through the defined benefit plans under the LSA, the Company is exposed to the following risks:
1) Investment risk
The plan assets are invested in domestic and foreign equity and debt securities, bank deposits, etc. The investment is conducted at the discretion of the Bureau or under the mandated management. However, in accordance with relevant regulations, the return generated by plan assets should not be below the interest rate for a 2-year time deposit with local banks.
2) Interest risk
A decrease in the government/corporate bond interest rate will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation; however, this will be partially offset by an increase in the return on the plan's debt investments.
3) Salary risk
The present value of the defined benefit obligation is calculated by reference to the future salaries of plan participants. As such, an increase in the salary of the plan participants will increase the present value of the defined benefit obligation.
The actuarial valuations of the present value of the defined benefit obligation were carried out by qualified actuaries.
The significant assumptions used for the purposes of the actuarial valuations were as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rate (%) | 1.3 | 1.5 |
| Expected rate of salary increase (%) | 2.0 | 2.0 |
| Turnover rate (%) | 0.0-1.0 | 0.0-1.0 |
| Expected rate of return on plan assets (%) | 1.3 | 1.5 |
| Mortality rate | Based the on Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table | Based the on Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table |
If possible reasonable changes in each of the significant actuarial assumptions will occur and all other assumptions will remain constant, the present value of the defined benefit obligation would increase (decrease) as follows:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Discount rate | ||
| Increase by 0.1% | $ (2,193) | $ (2,588) |
| Decrease by 0.1% | $ 2,208 | $ 2,608 |
| Expected rate of salary increase/decrease | ||
| Increase by 0.1% | $ 1,594 | $ 1,952 |
| Decrease by 0.1% | $ (1,587) | $ (1,941) |
The sensitivity analysis presented above may not be representative of the actual change in the present value of the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that the change in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another as some of the assumptions may be correlated.
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Expected contributions to the plan for the next year | $ 9,217 | $ 8,818 |
| Average duration of the defined benefit obligation | 3.6 years | 4.0 years |

c. Retained earnings and dividend policy
Under the dividends policy as set forth in the Articles, where the Company made a net profit after tax in a fiscal year, the profit shall first be used to offset accumulated losses, setting aside as legal reserve 10% of the remaining profit (an appropriation of earnings to the legal reserve shall be made until the legal reserve equals the Company's paid-in capital), setting aside or reversing special reserve in accordance with the laws or the requirements of the competent authority, and then any remaining profit together with any undistributed earnings at the beginning of the period (including the adjusted amount of undistributed earnings) shall be used by the Company's board of directors as the basis for proposing a distribution plan, which should be resolved in the shareholders' meeting for the distribution of dividends and bonuses to shareholders. For the distribution of dividends, bonuses, the whole or a part of capital reserve and legal reserve shall be paid in cash and are subject to approval by a board meeting attended by more than two-thirds of the directors and a majority of the attending directors, shall be submitted to the shareholders' meeting; it does not apply the above resolution adopted at the shareholders' meeting.
The Company's dividend policy is as follows:
1) The Company currently operates in an environment with growth potential and will take advantage of economic conditions to achieve sustainable operations. The Company's dividend policy is determined with reference to both its prospective outlook and actual operating performance, with a focus on the stability and growth of dividend distributions.

| For the Year Ended December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Profit for the year | $ 239,101 | $ 581,233 |
| In Thousands of Shares | ||
| For the Year Ended December 31 | ||
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the computation of basic earnings per share | 321,180 | 321,180 |
| Effect of potentially dilutive ordinary shares: Employees’ compensation | 437 | 795 |
| Weighted average number of ordinary shares used in the computation of diluted earnings per share | 321,617 | 321,975 |
Since the Company offered to settle compensation paid to employees in cash or shares, the Company assumed that the entire amount of compensation or bonus would be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the shares have a dilutive effect. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the shareholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees at their meeting in the following year.
23. CAPITAL MANAGEMENT

c. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company’s major financial instruments included repurchase agreements collateralized by bonds, equity investments, trade receivables, trade payables and lease liabilities. The Company’s corporate treasury function provides business services, manages the Company’s capital and foreign exchange risk and financial risk. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk and interest rate risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
1) Market risk
The Company’s activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in foreign currency exchange rates (see (a) below) and interest rates (see (b) below).
There was no change to the Company’s exposure to market risks or the manner in which these risks were managed and measured.
a) Foreign currency risk
The Company had foreign currency sales and purchases, which exposed the Company to foreign currency risk.
The carrying amounts of the Company’s foreign currency denominated monetary assets and monetary liabilities are set out in Note 28.
Sensitivity analysis
The Company was mainly exposed to the foreign currency fluctuations of the USD.
The sensitivity rate of 1% is used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in foreign exchange rates. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items and adjusts their translation at the end of the reporting period for a 1% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number in the table below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit if the New Taiwan dollar weakened by 1% against USD. If the New
- 41 -
Taiwan dollar strengthened by 1% of against USD, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and the balances in the table below would be negative.
| Amount | ||
|---|---|---|
| For the Year Ended December 31 | ||
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Impact of USD | ||
| Profit or loss | $ 1,044 | $ 3,675 |
b) Interest rate risk
The following table shows the carrying amounts of the Company’s financial assets exposed to interest rate risk at the end of the reporting period:
| December 31 | ||
|---|---|---|
| 2025 | 2024 | |
| Fair value interest rate risk | ||
| Financial assets | $ 1,449,464 | $ 2,483,874 |
| Financial liabilities | 11,618 | 7,668 |
| Cash flow interest rate risk | ||
| Financial assets | 3,497,225 | 2,248,583 |
Sensitivity analysis
The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the Company’s exposure to interest rates for financial assets at the end of the reporting period. The analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the assets and liabilities outstanding at the end of the reporting period was outstanding for the whole year. A 1% increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents management’s assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.
If interest rates of financial asset had been 1% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the Company’s pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would increase/decrease by NT$34,972 thousand and NT$22,486 thousand, respectively.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial loss to the Company. As at the end of the reporting period, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk which will cause a financial loss to the Company due to failure of counterparties to discharge an obligation could arise from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets.
The Company adopted a policy of only dealing with creditworthy counterparties and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Company uses publicly available financial information and its own trading records to rate its major customers. The Company’s exposure and the credit ratings of its counterparties are continuously monitored and the aggregate value of transactions concluded is spread amongst approved counterparties. Credit exposure is controlled by counterparty limits that are reviewed and approved by the risk management committee periodically.
Both the counterparties of cash and cash equivalent and other financial assets are creditworthy financial institutions; as a result, the significant credit risk is unexpected.
The Company's concentration of credit risk of 51% and 47% of total trade receivables as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively was attributable to the Company's the five largest customers in sales.
3) Liquidity risk
The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining a sufficient level of cash and cash equivalents to meet the Company's operational demand and mitigate the effects of fluctuations in cash flows.
Liquidity risk tables
The following tables detail the Company's remaining contractual maturities of its non-derivative liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables had been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flow of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Company can be required to pay.
| Less Than 3 Months | 3 Months to 1 Year | 1 Year to 5 Years | Total | |
