Attachment 1

2025 Business Report

1. The Operation Policy

The policy of our Company’s operation is to make profit for shareholders by maintaining a high quality of fleet based on both the shipping expertise/experience and the strengthened ship management. In business spectrum, there are twenty-one owned bulk carriers, incl. handyszie, supramax and panamax type, trading around the world for carrying solid bulk cargo, one roro ferry sailing between Kaohsiung and Magong, and nine efficient tugboats as well as two launch boats assisting vessels in harbors of Taiwan. In addition, we are managing 3 tankers which are owned by CPC Taiwan.

2. The overview of operation

There were 36 vessels in TNC’s operation fleet in 2025, including 33 owned and 3 manning management. The current average age of our bulk carrier fleet is approximately 6 years old. There are currently 4 bulk carriers under construction in Japan. Two 40,000 DWT vessels are scheduled for delivery in April and May of this year (2026), while the two 60,000 DWT vessels are scheduled for delivery in the 3rd and 4th quarters of 2028.

The global dry bulk freight rates in 2025 exhibited a dramatic fluctuations. In the first half of the year, the rates continued the downward trend from the previous year's fourth quarter, remaining subdued overall. The primary reasons included:

  1. High iron ore inventories in China during the first half of the year, combined with a weak real estate market, led to reduced steel production and lower demand for related raw materials, significantly suppressing Capesize vessel rates.
  2. The Trump administration's tariff policies introduced uncertainty in global manufacturing production and investment, dampening demand for major commodities and further weighing on dry bulk freight rates.

However, the rates rebounded sharply in the second half of the year. The key reason were:

  1. Tariff negotiations between the United States and major trading partners largely concluded, gradually eliminating uncertainty in industrial investment.
  2. Trade tensions between China and the US prompted large-scale imports of Brazilian soybeans in advance, coinciding with Brazil's record-high soybean production in the previous year, with exports extending into the third quarter.

  1. Indonesia lifted coal export price controls starting in July, while China's domestic coal production began to decline, leading to a surge in imports.

Across vessel types, freight rates in the second half of the year rose by more than 50% compared to the first half. However, the full-year average for all vessel types remained approximately 8% lower than in the previous year.

Our company's bulk carrier fleet employs a mix of charter arrangements: some at fixed rates, others indexed to freight rate benchmarks (floating or semi-floating) with built-in floor and ceiling limits on hire. This structure effectively mitigates the impact of sharp market volatility while maintaining a reasonable level of profitability.

As for ship management, we currently manage 3 product tankers owned by CPC Taiwan. In harbor service operations, the Tai-Chin 2 series serve at the CPC Taiwan LNG terminal in Taichung port, while the Tai-Chin 3 series serve under a 25-year long-term service contract at CPC Kwun Tong Industrial Port. Both tug series maintain a good margin of profit. For passenger ship business, The Penghu's full-year performance in 2025 was slightly better than last year and significantly improved compared to the replaced Tai Hwa.

3. Performance of Operation Plan

In 2025, our consolidated operating revenue was NT$4,299,838 thousand, a decrease of 2.28 percent compared to NT$4,400,046 thousand in 2024. Consolidated income before income tax was NT$1,619,878 thousand, an increase of 10.85 percent compared to NT$1,461,334 thousand in 2024.

4. Execution of Operating Revenue and Expenditure Budgets

(1) Operating Revenue

The consolidated operating revenue of 2025 was NT$4,299,838 thousand, a decrease of NT$100,208 thousand compared to NT$4,400,046 thousand in 2024, the main reason was the overall average freight rate of BDI index declining this year compared to last year, resulting in a decrease in bulk cargo revenue compared to last year.

(2) Operating Costs and Expenses

The consolidated operating costs and operating expenses of 2025 was NT$2,713,939 thousand, a decrease of NT$26,975 thousand compared to NT$2,740,914 thousand in 2024, the difference is not significant.

(3) Non-operating income and Expenses

The consolidated net non-operating income and expenses of 2025 was NT$33,979 thousand, an increase of NT$231,777 thousand compared to NT$(197,798) thousand in

— 14 —


2024, The main reason was the difference in dividend income between the two periods.

5. Analysis of Profitability

2025 Consolidated financial ratios of the Company were:

  • Return on Asset: 5.79%
  • Return on Equity: 7.35%
  • Net profit ratio: 30.83%
  • Earnings per share (after tax): 3.18

6. Situation of Research and Development

Energy conservation, carbon reduction, and the prevention of air and marine pollution have long been the core environmental principles and operational objectives of our Company. In 2024, the Company phased out and sold its older vessels, M.V. "Tai Hunter" and M.V. "Tai Shine", which had already implemented EPL carbon reduction measures. In January 2025, the Company placed an order with Oshima Shipbuilding Co., Ltd. in Japan for two new 64,000 DWT eco-friendly vessels, aiming to further enhance fleet fuel efficiency and energy-saving performance. In addition to reduced fuel consumption and improved operational efficiency, the main diesel engines of the new vessels comply with the latest Tier III nitrogen oxide (NOx III) emission standards under the International Convention for the Prevention of Air Pollution, as well as the Phase 3 requirements of the Energy Efficiency Design Index (EEDI Phase 3). Through these continuous efforts in energy conservation, carbon reduction, and air pollution control, the Company remains firmly committed to environmental protection while strengthening its long-term competitiveness in international shipping operations.

7. The analysis of industry

The industry side:

In 2025, the earnings trend of dry bulk carriers reversed compared to previous years, with weaker performance in the first half and a notable recovery in the second half supported by demand. During the first half of the year, Capesize freight rates declined significantly by approximately 30% compared with the same period of the previous year. However, the market rebounded strongly in the third quarter, with a doubling of average daily hires. Freight rates continued to rise in the fourth quarter, with the rebound mainly driven by strong bauxite exports from West Africa, increased iron ore shipments from Brazil and Australia, and tight supply of vessel tonnage in the Atlantic market.

  • 15 -

For Panamax / Kamsarmax, average daily hires in the first half of 2025 also declined significantly compared to the same period in 2024, followed by a sharp rebound in the third quarter. The growth momentum in the second half of the year was primarily resulted from a rally in China's coal imports and the shifting of certain cargoes from Capesize to Panamax due to cost considerations (cargo splitting). China's soybean imports reached a record high of 112 million tons in 2025, mainly from Brazil. Strong demand continued into the third quarter, and the long-haul voyages effectively boosted Panamax freight rates.

For Ultramax / Ultramax, freight rates in the first half of 2025 also remained weak, mainly due to sluggish grain and coal trades, a high volume of newbuilding deliveries, and a sharp decline in grain flows from the Black Sea. At the same time, Brazil's grain exports became increasingly concentrated on larger vessels, also weakening the demand. In the coal segment, Indonesia's implementation of a price benchmark in the second quarter led to a decline in exports. Although coal volumes in the Atlantic region grew beyond expectations in the second half of the year, this was insufficient to offset the loss of Indonesian trade. Nevertheless, strong exports of steel and cement from China, together with longer voyage distances caused by diversions due to the Red Sea crisis, increased ton-mile demand. The market improved in the second half of the year, mainly benefiting from robust grain exports from the United States and Brazil, as well as tighter supply and demand resulting from the withdrawal of Chinese-funded vessels following U.S.-related maritime policies.

The tonnage supply side:

In 2025, the global dry bulk fleet tonnage in terms of deadweight tonnage recorded a net increase of 3.0% compared to the previous year, the same as the growth rate in the prior year (3.0%). Although the total tonnage of the dry bulk vessels in 2025 slightly increased compared to the previous year, a higher willingness among shipowners to scrap vessels because average freight rates declined by approximately 8% year-on-year. As a result, demolition tonnage in 2025 reached 4.7 million deadweight tonnages, representing an increase of 24% compared to the previous year, and overall dry bulk fleet growth remained flat.

The Overall economic side:

According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF) January 2026 report, the global economy grew reached 3.3% in 2025, unchanged from 2024. Among major economies, China grew by 5.0%, the United States by 2.1%, the Euro area by 1.4%, Japan by 1.1%, and the top five economies in ASEAN grew by 4.2%. On average, the economic growth of developed countries in 2025 was 1.7%, little lower than the previous year (1.8%). In

— 16 —


emerging and developing countries, the economic grew by 4.4% with 0.1% increase from the previous year.

U.S. economic growth has been driven mainly by capital investment, including the construction of data centers for the AI industry, while other advanced economies have generally shown signs of weakness. Economic performance in emerging and developing Asia has remained solid. China's export sector has been strong, partially offsetting weakness in the real estate market and subdued consumption, while India has benefited from low oil prices and the spending for public infrastructure, delivering an impressive growth rate of 7.3%.

Market Outlook 2026

Economic Overview:

The IMF predicts that the global economy will remain stable over the next two years amid a tug-of-war between Bullish and Bearish factors. The Global economic grow in 2026 is projected to be 3.3%, the same as in 2025. Global growth in 2026 and 2027 is forecast at 3.3% and 3.2% respectively, broadly in line with the 2025 level. Trade policy uncertainty presents headwinds, but surging investment in technologies such as AI, fiscal and monetary policy support, a loose financial environment, and corporate resilience are feasible to provide support, most notably in North America and Asia. Global inflation is projected to decline from 4.1% in 2025 to 3.4% in 2027, with the US returning to its target at a slower pace. Downside risks include: revised productivity projections for AI could trigger market volatility; trade and geopolitical tensions; and high deficits and debt pushing up long-term interest rates. Favorable growth potential stems from AI investment translating into productivity gains and easing trade tensions.

China:

In 2025, China's economic growth relies mainly on external markets, manufacturing activity, and strong exports, given weak domestic demand and a continued downturn in the real estate sector. Policy has shifted towards reversing excessive competition, moving from pursuing output to emphasizing quality and profitability, while simultaneously restoring pricing power and curbing deflationary pressures. This policy has already prompted the closure of inefficient capacity in several industries, including steel, coal, and automobiles, reducing demand for steel and cement. Looking ahead to 2026, China's strategy is expected to continue. The decline in real estate investment will persist, and policy stimulus will remain geared towards external demand, exploring emerging markets through overseas investment. There will also be sporadic measures to boost consumer confidence, but these

— 17 —


will be insufficient to reverse the decline in domestic demand. China remains the world's largest importer of dry bulk commodities, and imports of bauxite and iron ore from West Africa have increased annually in recent years, effectively driving up the ton-mile of Capesize vessels. If Capesize freight rates continue to rise, the effect of cargo switching will also benefit Panamax freight rates. Furthermore, Brazilian soybean exports to China are expected to continue to rise this year, which will positively impact Panamax freight rates. However, it should be noted that domestic coal production in China accounts for a substantial share of total coal consumption, and fluctuations in output continue to have a significant impact on its seaborne import demand. This will be the biggest key factor affecting Panamax freight rates this year.

India and Southeast Asia:

In recent years, India has benefited from relatively low energy costs, with the share of Russian crude oil in its imports rising from 2% prior to 2022 to 36% last year, significantly reducing overall energy expenditure. However, under ongoing European and U.S. sanctions, this advantage may moderate in 2026, though it is unlikely to alter India's long-term growth trajectory, which continues to be supported by population growth, rising incomes, and accelerating industrialization. For the dry bulk market, the key factors will be the pace of expansion in India's steel industry, as well as whether imports of iron ore, coking coal, and scrap steel will become mainstream trades. India currently accounts for around 8% of global steel production and 8.5% of global steel consumption, with these shares expected to increase to approximately 11% and 10.5%, respectively, by 2030.

In Southeast Asia, imports of construction materials and grains recorded notable growth in 2025 and are expected to continue in 2026. The IMF forecasts regional GDP growth of 4.2%, with technology investment and intra-regional trade supporting further industrialization and infrastructure development. Increased intra-regional consumption of Indonesian coal may constrain ton-nautical mile growth; however, imports of construction materials (particularly from China), grains from Australia and the Americas, as well as nickel ore, are expected to underpin demand for dry bulk tonnage.

Middle East and the Black Sea:

Economic activity in the Middle East continues to be centered on the Gulf countries, where demand for imports of construction materials and grains remains strong and is expected to continue growing in 2026. The Russia-Ukraine conflict has evolved into a prolonged war of attrition, with only sporadic progress in peace negotiations and Black Sea trade remains disrupted as a result. Should a breakthrough in peace negotiations occur in 2026, a


recovery in historical trade flows would be expected, potentially leading to increased demand for certain commodities. Demand for construction materials, in particular, would support infrastructure reconstruction estimated at USD 150–250 billion, representing a long-term positive for the market.

Vessel supply Outlook:

In 2026, the net growth in total deadweight is estimated at 3.2%, a slight increase from last year’s 3.0%. This is driven by a lower Capesize deliveries, while the other segments are expected to be higher, particularly in the Post-Panamax (approximately 80,000 dwt). Combined with an estimated low level of demolition, the overall tonnage supply remains on a steady upward trend. In 2025, global new building orders declined significantly across most of vessel segments, with exception of container ships, which record a slight increased. New order for dry bulk decreased by approximately 30%. However, due to rising construction costs, limited shipyard capacity and improved profitability among shipowners in recent years, resulting in a strong willingness to place new orders, the decline in newbuilding prices for dry bulk carriers has been limited. As a result, price remain at historically high level compared with the past decade. Currently, the dry bulk orderbook accounts for approximately 12.5% of the existing fleet in terms of deadweight tonnage, which is considered a reasonable level.

Energy conservation and carbon intensity regulations:

Shipping have been included in the European Union Emission Trading System (“EU ETS”) since the beginning of 2024. In addition, starting from 2025, the FuelEU Maritime came into force, under which the permitted annual average greenhouse gas (GHG) intensity of marine fuels will be reduced progressively at five-year intervals. Most vessels in our company are energy-efficient vessels and are therefore will positioned to comply with relevant regulatory requirements. Furthermore, under the terms of the charterparty contracts, charterers are responsible for bearing the cost of EU ETS allowance and any penalties arising under FuelEU Maritime.

Regarding the International Maritime Organization (IMO) has proposed a Net-Zero Framework, which would impose mandatory annual GHG emission limits on vessels, requiring non-compliant vessels to purchase emission allowance to offset excess emissions. This framework was originally scheduled to take effect in January, 2028. However, in October, 2025, following initiatives led by two major oil-produce countries, i.e. USA and Saudi Arabia, it was agreed that further discussions would be deferred for one year. Moreover, the Trump Administration has express strongly opposition to the framework

— 19 —


and has withdrawn from certain United Nations climate-related organization. As a result, the implementation timeline of the IMO Net-Zero Framework remains subject to uncertainty.

The military conflict between the United States-Israel and Iran has, as of early March, effectively resulted in a de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz. War risk insurance premiums for vessels operating in waters around the Persian Gulf have surged, while oil prices have also risen sharply. For the dry bulk shipping sector, in the short term, some vessels are stranded in the Persian Gulf and the redeployments are required, leading to a reduction in available shipping capacity. In addition, high oil prices encourage vessels to sail at slower, more economical speeds. Both factors are supportive of freight rates. However, in the longer term, if the conflict drags on, dry bulk demand may decline because the region is an important importer of grains as well as an exporter of fertilizers and minerals. Moreover, persistently high oil prices could weigh on global economic growth, which would be unfavorable for freight rates.

8. The outlook for the future

In the short term, our company will continue to focus on vessel maintenance and enhanced personnel training to achieve the goal of zero accidents, while optimizing fleet deployment to improve vessel utilization. In the long term, our company will strengthen cooperation and maintain sound relationships with leading Charterers both domestically and internationally in order to secure favorable contracts and mitigate operational risks. At the same time, our company will closely monitor developments in the shipbuilding market so as to seize the opportunities to expand high-performance fleet and phase out older vessels when newbuilding prices are relatively low, thereby maintain the overall competitiveness of the fleet. With respect of passenger ferry operation of the "Penghu", our company will place strong emphasis on navigational safety and enhance marketing efforts to increase the passenger load factor and expand revenue. Regarding the ship management services, in addition to improving the quality of existing services, our company will actively pursue suitable new ship management contracts for more revenue and profitability.

Attachment 3

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Taiwan Navigation Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Taiwan Navigation Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statements 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 the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

— 22 —


The key audit matter identified in the consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2025 is stated as follows:

The Recognition of Subsidiaries’ Floating Revenue of Bulk Carriers

The Group’s subsidiaries Tai Shing Maritime Co., S.A. and Shin Wang Maritime Inc., primarily engage in bulk carrier transportation services and their floating bulk carriers revenue fluctuates with the shipping index based on agreements. Since the rental agreements of each ship are different and calculated manually, the risk of the accuracy of the recognition floating revenue of bulk carriers increases. Therefore, we considered the accuracy of the recognition of floating revenue of bulk carriers as a key audit matter.

Our main audit procedures performed were as follows:

  1. We obtained an understanding of the design and implementation of internal controls relevant to the recognition of floating revenue of bulk carriers.
  2. We selected samples from the floating bulk carriers revenue ledger and reviewed relevant documents such as bulk carrier contracts, current account statements, bank statements, the record of remittances, etc.
  3. We recalculated the floating revenue of bulk carriers and verified the accuracy of the recognized amount.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Taiwan Navigation Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

  • 23 -

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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 consolidated 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:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders
Taiwan Navigation Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Taiwan Navigation Co., Ltd. (the "Corporation"), 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 Corporation 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 Statements 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 the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Corporation 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.

  • 32 -

The key audit matters identified in the parent company only financial statements of the Corporation for the year ended December 31, 2025 are stated as follows:

Recognition of Investments Accounted for Using the Equity Method from Floating Revenue of Bulk Carriers

The investments accounted for using the equity method of subsidiaries, Tai Shing Maritime Co., S.A. and Shin Wang Maritime Inc., are primarily engaged in bulk carrier transportation services and their floating bulk carriers revenue fluctuates with the shipping index based on agreements. Since the rental agreements of each ship are different and calculated manually, the risk of the accuracy of the recognition floating revenue of bulk carriers increases and affects the recognition of gain or loss of the Corporation's investments using the equity method in the current year. Therefore, we considered the accuracy of the recognition of floating revenue of bulk carriers as key audit matters.

Our main audit procedures performed were as follows:

  1. We obtained an understanding of the design and implementation of internal controls relevant to the recognition of floating revenue of bulk carriers.
  2. We selected samples from the floating bulk carriers revenue ledger and reviewed relevant documents such as bulk carrier contracts, current account statements, bank statements, the record of remittances, etc.
  3. We recalculated the floating revenue of bulk carriers and verified the accuracy of the recognized amount.

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 Corporation'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 Corporation 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 Corporation'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:


  1. 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.

  2. 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 Corporation’s internal control.

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Corporation’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 Corporation to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. 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.

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Corporation 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.

— 34 —


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 Ya-Ling Wong and You-Cheng Hsin.

Where a shareholders' meeting is held online, the Corporation shall keep records of shareholder registration, sign-in, check-in, questions raised, votes cast and results of votes counted by the Corporation, and continuously audio and video record, without interruption, the proceedings of the virtual meeting from beginning to end.

The chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time and disclose information concerning the number of nonvoting shares and number of shares represented by shareholders attending the meeting.

However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than one hour, may be made. If the quorum is not met after two postponements and the attending shareholders still represent less than one third of the total number of issued shares, the chair shall declare the meeting adjourned. In the event of a virtual shareholders' meeting, the Corporation shall also declare the meeting adjourned at the virtual meeting platform.

If the quorum is not met after two postponements as referred to in the preceding

— 49 —


paragraph, but the attending shareholders represent one third or more of the total number of issued shares, a tentative resolution may be adopted pursuant to Article 175, paragraph 1 of the Company Act; all shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders' meeting shall be convened within one month. In the event of a virtual shareholders' meeting, shareholders intending to attend the meeting online shall re-register to the Corporation in accordance with Article 6.

When, prior to conclusion of the meeting, the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders' meeting pursuant to Article 174 of the Company Act.

Article 10

If a shareholders' meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the board of directors. Votes shall be cast on each separate proposal in the agenda (including extraordinary motions and amendments to the original proposals set out in the agenda). The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders' meeting.

The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders' meeting convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the board of directors.

The chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extraordinary motions), except by a resolution of the shareholders' meeting. If the chair declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the rules of procedure, the other members of the board of directors shall promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chair in accordance with statutory procedures, by agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.

The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extraordinary motions put forward by the shareholders; when the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chair may announce the discussion closed, call for a vote, and schedule sufficient time for voting.

Article 11

Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker's slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chair.

A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker's slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker's slip, the spoken content shall prevail.

Except with the consent of the chair, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes. If the shareholder's speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chair may terminate the speech.

When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the chair shall stop any violation.

When a juristic person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to

— 50 —


attend a shareholders' meeting, only one of the representatives so appointed may speak on the same proposal.

After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.

Where a virtual shareholders' meeting is convened, shareholders attending the virtual meeting online may raise questions in writing at the virtual meeting platform from the chair declaring the meeting open until the chair declaring the meeting adjourned. No more than two questions for the same proposal may be raised. Each question shall contain no more than 200 words. The regulations in paragraphs 1 to 5 do not apply.

As long as questions so raised in accordance with the preceding paragraph are not in violation of the regulations or beyond the scope of a proposal, it is advisable the questions be disclosed to the public at the virtual meeting platform.

Article 12

Voting at a shareholders' meeting shall be calculated based on the number of shares. With respect to resolutions of shareholders' meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.

When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of the Corporation, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.

The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.

With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed three percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.

Article 13

When the Corporation holds a shareholders' meeting, it shall adopt exercise of voting rights by electronic means and may adopt exercise of voting rights by correspondence. When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders' meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person or online, but to have waived his/her rights with respect to the extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals of that meeting; it is therefore advisable that the Corporation avoid the submission of extraordinary motions and amendments to original proposals.

A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Corporation before two days before the date of the shareholders' meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent.

— 51 —

If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders' meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.

Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the articles of incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.

When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.

Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of the Corporation.

Vote counting for shareholders' meeting proposals or elections shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders' meeting.
