Appendix 1
Business Report to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders:
In 2025, the Company reported consolidated revenue of NT$8.467 billion and after-tax profits of NT$2.479 billion. The revenue enjoyed a significant growth of 33%, compared with NT$6.356 billion in 2024; and the after-tax net profit was a huge increase of 35%, compared with NT$1.837 billion in the previous year.
As shown in the consolidated financial statements, the Company's gross profit margin was 58%, operating net profit margin was 35%, after-tax net profit margin was 29%, return on equity was 28%, and return on assets was 22% in 2025. Thus, its overall financial status remains stable and sound.
The main reasons behind the Company's substantial growth in revenue and profits in 2025: (1) The annual revenue of four major product lines (AOI, SPI, X-RAY, and board testing ICT) reached record highs. (2) Revenue and profits in Taiwan and Southeast Asia regions grew significantly, with both reaching historical peaks. (3) Revenues from the server industry and network communications industry have also shown substantial growth. (4) New products were successfully commercialized, and product competitiveness continues to improve. (5) Maintaining close ties with customers and major international manufacturers has driven significant growth in revenue and profits throughout the year.
- Future business policy, production and sales policy, development strategy and expected sales volume:
The Company's operating strategy focuses on enhancing the competitiveness and market expansion of its two main equipment categories: Automated Inspection (AOI, SPI, AXI) and board testing ICT. In addition to the continued growth of SMT process testing equipment, semiconductor process testing equipment will play an important strategic role in the future. The proportion of semiconductor testing equipment revenue to overall revenue is expected to increase year by year. Opportunities for future growth lie in (1) The Company's AOI currently ranks first in the global SMT market share. In addition to continuously improving the cost-effectiveness of AOI in the SMT market, it will actively develop semiconductor process inspection equipment, and expects the shipment volume of the AOI equipment to maintain considerable growth. (2) We are strengthening the competitiveness of SPI equipment in the SMT market and are committed to developing equipment for semiconductor process inspection. The shipment volume of SPI machines will continue to grow. (3) X-RAY equipment is an essential inspection device for SMT processes in servers, network communications, and automotive electronics, especially in semiconductor manufacturing, where demand is increasing significantly. The Company will continue to enhance the competitiveness of its X-RAY machines, and expects shipments to continue to grow. (4) Board testing ICT equipment is essential for server, network communication, and automotive electronics processes in SMT manufacturing. In-Line ICT smart manufacturing has become a global trend, and the shipment volume of board testing ICT equipment is expected to continue to grow. Our Company aims to compete with U.S.-based Keysight and Teradyne in the global SMT board testing ICT markets in the future. (5) The Company continues to deepen the application of AI technology on imaging optical machines to reduce program preparation time, while improving the detection rate and reducing the misjudgment rate. (6) To deepen the layout of the global market: With the commercialization of new products and the improvement of product competitiveness, coupled with the booming AI infrastructure construction, we expect a great opportunity for growth in shipments this year.
- Influence of external competitive environment, regulatory environment and overall business environment on the Company:
The Company continues to improve its product quality and operational management. The Company's core values are "Team, Speed, Innovation, Integrity, and Service." Meanwhile, the Company will continue to improve its overall competitiveness in "technology leadership", "stable and reliable quality", "global market development", "control of new product development schedule", and "internal talent cultivation". We firmly believe the Company will have opportunities for continued growth.
We would like to express our deep gratitude to all shareholders for their support, which enables the Company to continue to grow.
We wish you all good health and happiness.

Appendix 3
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Test Research, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Test Research, Inc. (the "Company") as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 'Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only 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 Company's 2025 parent company only financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Company's 2025 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:
Valuation of inventories
Description
Refer to Note 4(10) for accounting policies adopted for the valuation of inventories, Note 5 for critical accounting estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of inventories, and Note 6(3) for details of inventories. As of December 31, 2025, inventory and allowance for valuation losses are NT$1,989,794 thousand and NT$198,402 thousand, respectively.
The Company is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture, sales, repairs and maintenance of automated inspection and testing equipment, and inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Management considers the rapidly changing technology and the short life cycle of electronic products in evaluating inventories. For inventories that are over a certain aging and individually identified obsolete or slow-moving items, the net realisable value is determined based
on inventory aging and the market demand of such items in the future for a specific period, which are based on sales, obsolescence and the inventory quality. As the amount of inventory is significant, involves numerous items, and the valuation of inventory requires critical judgement and a high degree of uncertainty in estimation, we considered the valuation of inventory a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:
- Understanding the industry and operations of the Company, and assessing the reasonableness of accounting policies applied in determining the adequacy of inventory provision.
- Understanding the inventory management processes of the Company, examining the annual physical count plan of the Company, and performing physical inventory observation to assess the effectiveness of judgement and control over obsolete or slow-moving inventory.
- Obtaining inventory aging report of the Company and testing movements to confirm whether they are assigned to the correct aging category and are in accordance with the Company's accounting policy. We also recalculated to check the adequacy of the allowance for valuation losses.
- Analysing and comparing the difference of inventory valuation losses between the latest two years and examining supporting evidences in relation to allowance for slow-moving inventory valuation losses, which were individually identified by the management based on the inventory clearance condition, to assess the propriety of inventory valuation losses.
Cutoff of export revenue recognition
Description
For accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition, refer to Note 4(23).
The Company recognises export revenue in accordance with the terms of the transaction with the customer. Export revenue constitutes approximately 70% of parent company only operating revenue and the period of revenue recognition is based on transaction terms of different customers. As the timing of revenue recognition is subject to management's judgement based on past experience, revenue may not be recorded in the proper period. Thus, we considered the cutoff of export revenue recognition a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:
- Understanding and assessing the effectiveness of export revenue recognition control processes.
- Obtaining a detailed listing of export sales within a certain period before and after period end, selecting samples and assessing the completeness by agreeing the sale to supporting documentation (such as export bill of lading and proof of delivery) to ascertain whether the sale was recorded in the proper period.
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
12
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 professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
- Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
- Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
- Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
- Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the 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
13
that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Test Research, Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Test Research, Inc. (the "Company") and subsidiaries (the "Group") as at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 'Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the 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 Group's 2025 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Group's 2025 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:
Valuation of inventories of the Company
Description
Refer to Note 4(12) for accounting policies adopted for the valuation of inventories, Note 5 for critical accounting estimates and assumptions related to the valuation of inventories, and Note 6(4) for details of inventories. As of December 31, 2025, inventory and allowance for valuation losses are NT$2,041,593 thousand and NT$207,421 thousand, respectively.
The Group is primarily engaged in the design, manufacture, sales, repairs and maintenance of automated inspection and testing equipment, and inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Management considers the rapidly changing technology and the short life cycle of electronic products in evaluating inventories. For inventories that are over a certain aging and individually identified obsolete or slow-moving items, the net realisable value is determined based
20
on inventory aging and the market demand of such items in the future for a specific period, which are based on sales, obsolescence and the inventory quality. As the amount of inventory is significant, involves numerous items, and the valuation of inventory requires critical judgement and a high degree of uncertainty in estimation, we considered the valuation of inventory a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:
- Understanding the industry and operations of the Group, and assessing the reasonableness of accounting policies applied in determining the adequacy of inventory provision.
- Understanding the inventory management processes of the Group, examining the annual physical count plan of the Company, and performing physical inventory observation to assess the effectiveness of judgement and control over obsolete or slow-moving inventory.
- Obtaining inventory aging report of the Company and testing movements to confirm whether they are assigned to the correct aging category and are in accordance with the Group's accounting policy. We also recalculated to check the adequacy of the allowance for valuation losses.
- Analysing and comparing the difference of inventory valuation losses between the latest two years and examining supporting evidences in relation to allowance for slow-moving inventory valuation losses, which were individually identified by the management based on the inventory clearance condition, to assess the propriety of inventory valuation losses.
Cutoff of export revenue recognition of the Company
Description
For accounting policies adopted for revenue recognition, refer to Note 4(24).
The Group recognises export revenue in accordance with the terms of the transaction with the customer. Export revenue constitutes approximately 80% of consolidated operating revenue and the period of revenue recognition is based on transaction terms of different customers. As the timing of revenue recognition is subject to management judgement based on past experience, revenue may not be recorded in the proper period. Thus, we considered the cutoff of export revenue recognition a key audit matter.
How our audit addressed the matter
Our audit procedures performed in respect of the above key audit matter included the following:
- Understanding and assessing the effectiveness of export revenue recognition control processes.
- Obtaining a detailed listing of export sales of the Company within a certain period before and after period end, selecting samples and assessing the completeness by agreeing the sale to supporting documentation (such as export bill of lading and proof of delivery) to ascertain whether the sale was recorded in the proper period.
Other matter – Parent company only financial reports
We have audited and expressed an unmodified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Test Research, Inc. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024.
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 the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is
21
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.
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 professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all
22
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 consolidated financial statements of the current period 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.
