Business Report

1. 2023 Business Report

In 2023, due to factors such as high interest rates, high inflation, and China's postpandemic weaker than expected economic performance, the global demand for end products was weak, resulting in a slowdown of manufacturing activities in various countries. In addition, the US-China chip ban, the Russo-Ukrainian war, and the IsraelPalestine conflict to the present. Before it rests, global geopolitics tends to bloc rivalries, which has an impact on global economic development and social stability.

Domestically, the domestic service industry has shown a trend of expansion after the pandemic. The performance of retail, tourism, and personnel transportation industries has improved significantly compared to 2022. However, the slowdown of global trade expansion has not only impacted Taiwan's exports and export orders, but also made enterprises investment affected. Taiwan's economic growth rate showed declines in the fourth quarter of 2022 and the first quarter of 2023, and turned from negative to positive in the second quarter. The annual economic growth rate was 1.31%.

In response to this overall change, the Company has consolidated the nonperforming departments to save expenses. In the transportation business, in response to the volatile international situation and the competitive environment where the industry is faced with eliminating the weak and retaining the strong, the Company adheres to the principles of "Pursuing Excellence, Sustainable Operation" and "Integrity First, Service First", we provide safe, fast, and reliable overall services. We also continue to create differences and implement the spirit of ESG to provide customers with good transportation quality. With the efforts of all employees, the construction business continues to do a good job in quality supervision and cost control, which will contribute significantly to the Company's future growth. After the reinvestment in the "Miramar Garden Taipei" started in November 2022, it took nearly three months to upgrade the equipment in the entire building. The brand-new deluxe guest rooms were re-opened in January 2023 to welcome guests. Travelers have gradually recovered, and the occupancy rate has been close to the pre-pandemic level in the second half of 2023. In addition, the Company continues to invest in quality listed (OTC) stocks for profit.

For 2023, the operating revenue was NT$617,327 thousand, a decrease of NT$112,640 thousand compared with NT$729,967 thousand in the previous year, and the rate of decrease was 15%; the operating loss was NT$47,947 thousand, an increase of NT$32,044 thousand from the net operating loss of NT$15,903 thousand in the previous year; net income was NT$475,831 thousand, a significant improvement from the net loss after tax of NT$245,162 thousand in the previous year.

2. 2024 Business Plan Overview

It is expected that Taiwan's economic growth in 2024 will be mainly supported by consumption and investment, and external demand will recover. In terms of foreign trade, as the global electronics industry has improved and global trade has bottomed out, the

-8-

annual growth rate of Taiwan's exports has recently turned positive, indicating that the strong demand for high-tech products in the United States has driven the global trade to come to an end. The terminal demand is expected to gradually recover. The DirectorateGeneral of Budget, Accounting and Statistics released a forecast that as the world trade volume rebounds, driven by exports, Taiwan's economic growth rate will reach 3.43% this year.

In 2024, the construction department of the Company expects to launch a project in Zhunan Town, Miaoli County, and will carefully look for suitable projects for planning and construction, in order to achieve stable long-term development goals. In addition, the Company combined the cross-industry experience and resources of affiliated companies to expand the scope of investment, pay attention to the development of the green energy industry and ESG issues, strengthen sustainable competitiveness, and create group synergies with a diversified business model, which will create greater benefits for the Company's shareholders in the best interest of all, and thank you for your long-term support and encouragement.

Independent Auditors’ Report

Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Tze Shin International Co., Ltd.,

Audit opinions

We have reviewed the parent company only balance sheet of Tze Shin International Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the parent company only statement of comprehensive income, parent company only statement of changes in equity, parent company only statement of cash flows, and notes to parent company only financial statements (including the summary of accounting policies) for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for the audit opinion

We conducted the audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Audit of Financial Statements and Auditing Standards. Our responsibility under those standards is further described in the section of "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements." We are independent of Tze Shin International Co., Ltd. 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. Based on our audit results, we believe that sufficient and appropriate audit evidence has been obtained in order to serve as the basis for expressing the audit opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those, in our professional judgment, the most significant matters in the audit of the 2023 annual parent company only financial statements of Tze Shin International Co., Ltd.. These matters were addressed in our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our audit opinion. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for Tze Shin International Co., Ltd., the Parent Company Only Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are stated as follows:

Generation of operating revenue (including operating revenue of subsidiaries invested under the equity method)

Operating revenue is a matter of great concern to the management and investors. The operating income of Tze Shin International Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries mainly comes from transportation services and the operation of international tourist hotels, among which transportation income accounts for 60% and hence significantly impacts the financial statements of the parent company only for this year. Therefore, we recognized the transportation revenue as a key audit matter during the current year's audit.

We have implemented the main verification procedures for the above key verification items as follows:

  1. Understand and test the design and implementation effectiveness of internal controls related to the occurrence of transportation revenue recognition.

  2. Select samples from the transportation revenue in 2023, carry out detailed verification tests, check the transaction vouchers and the subsequent payment situation, and confirm the occurrence of revenue recognition.

  3. Send the official letter to confirm the balance of the accounts receivable at the end of the year, and implement alternative procedures for those who fail to receive the confirmation reply in time, including checking transaction vouchers and observing the collection status after the period.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair representation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with 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 free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Company in continuing as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and adopting the going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Company or cease the operations without other viable alternatives.

The governing body of the Company (including the Audit Committee) is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement arising from fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditors' report. Reasonable assurance is a high-level assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. If the amounts of misstatements, either separately or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of the parent company only financial statements, they are considered material.

We have utilized our professional judgment and maintained professional doubt when performing the audit work in accordance with the auditing standards in the Republic of China. We also perform the following tasks:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement arising from fraud or error within the parent company only financial statements; design and execute countermeasures in response to said risks, and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis of our opinion. Fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Therefore, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the one resulting from error.

  2. Understand the internal control related to the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, while not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by the management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of the management's adoption of the going concern basis of accounting based on the audit evidence obtained and whether a material uncertainty exists for events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we are of the opinion that a material uncertainty exists, we shall remind users of the parent company only financial statements to pay attention to relevant disclosures in said statements within our audit report. If such disclosures are inadequate, we need to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the parent company only financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the parent company only financial statements adequately present the relevant transactions and events.

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities within Tze Shin International Co., Ltd. to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for guiding, supervising, and performing the audit and forming an audit opinion on Tze Shin International Co., Ltd.

-12-

The matters communicated between us and the governing body include the planned scope and times of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal control identified during the audit).

We also provided the governing body with a declaration that we have complied with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China regarding independence, and communicated with them all relationships and other matters that may possibly be regarded as detrimental to our independence (including relevant protective measures).

From the matters communicated with the governing body, we determined the key audit matters for the audit of the Company's parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. We have clearly indicated such matters in the auditors' report unless legal regulations prohibit the public disclosure of specific matters, or in extremely rare cases, we decided not to communicate over specific items in the auditors' report, for it could be reasonably anticipated that the negative effects of such disclosure would be greater than the public interest it brings forth.

Independent Auditors’ Report

Shareholders and the Board of Directors of Tze Shin International Co., Ltd.,

Audit opinions

We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheet of Tze Shin International Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022 and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, consolidated statement of changes in equity, consolidated statement of cash flows, and notes to consolidated financial statements (including the summary of accounting policies) for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022.

Based on our opinion, we have found no circumstances causing the fair presentation of the consolidated financial position of Tze Shin International Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the years ended based on 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 in all material perspectives.

Basis for the audit opinion

We conducted the audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Audit of Financial Statements and Auditing Standards. Our responsibility under those standards is further described in the section of "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements." We are independent of Tze Shin International Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries 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. Based on our audit results, we believe that sufficient and appropriate audit evidence has been obtained in order to serve as the basis for expressing the audit opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those, in our professional judgment, the most significant matters in the audit of the 2023 annual consolidated financial statements of Tze Shin International Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries. These matters were addressed in our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our audit opinion. We do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for Tze Shin International Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries’ 2023 Consolidated Financial Statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are stated as follows:

Operating revenue

Operating revenue is a matter of great concern to the management and investors. The operating income of Tze Shin International Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries mainly comes from transportation services and the operation of international tourist hotels, among which transportation income accounts for 60% and hence significantly impacts the financial statements of the merged company for this year. Therefore, we listed whether the transportation revenue actually occurred as a key verification item during the audit this year. For the accounting policies and relevant disclosure information related to the recognition of transportation revenue, please refer to Note 4 to the financial statements.

We have implemented the main verification procedures for the above key verification items as follows:

  1. Understand and test the design and implementation effectiveness of internal controls related to the occurrence of transportation revenue recognition.

  2. Select samples from the transportation revenue in 2023, carry out detailed verification tests, check the transaction vouchers and the subsequent payment situation, and confirm the occurrence of transportation revenue recognition.

-20-

  1. Send the official letter to confirm the balance of the accounts receivable at the end of the year, and

  2. implement alternative procedures for those who fail to receive the confirmation reply in time, including checking transaction vouchers and observing the collection status after the period.

Others

Tze Shin International Co., Ltd. has prepared the parent company only financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 for which we have issued an unqualified opinion.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair representation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with IFRS, IAS, IFRICs and SICs 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 free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Group in continuing as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and adopting the going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Group or cease the operations without other viable alternatives.

The governing body of the Group (including the Audit Committee) is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.

Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement arising from fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditors' report. Reasonable assurance is a high-level assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists.

Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. If the amounts of misstatements, either separately or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of the consolidated financial statements, they are considered material.

We have utilized our professional judgment and maintained professional doubt when performing the audit work in accordance with the auditing standards in the Republic of China. We also perform the following tasks:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement arising from fraud or error within the consolidated financial statements; design and execute countermeasures in response to said risks, and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis of our opinion. Fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Therefore, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the one resulting from error.

  2. Understand the internal control related to the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, while not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by the management.

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of the management's adoption of the going concern basis of accounting based on the audit evidence obtained and whether a material uncertainty exists for events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we are of the opinion that a material uncertainty exists, we shall remind users of the consolidated financial statements to pay attention to relevant disclosures in said statements within our audit report. If such disclosures are inadequate, we need to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up

-21-

to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the consolidated financial statements adequately present the relevant transactions and events.

  2. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence concerning the financial information of entities within the Group, to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for guiding, supervising, and performing the audit and forming an audit opinion on the Group.

The matters communicated between us and the governing body include the planned scope and times of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal control identified during the audit).

We also provided the governing body with a declaration that we have complied with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China regarding independence, and communicated with them all relationships and other matters that may possibly be regarded as detrimental to our independence (including relevant protective measures).

From the matters communicated with the governing body, we determined the key audit matters for the audit of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. We have clearly indicated such matters in the auditors' report unless legal regulations prohibit the public disclosure of specific matters, or in extremely rare cases, we decided not to communicate over specific items in the auditors' report, for it could be reasonably anticipated that the negative effects of such disclosure would be greater than the public interest it brings forth.
