4. Research and Development

The Company's core business is styrene monomer. We continue not only debottlenecking of the production lines and increase the production efficiency, but process carbon reduction, the new product application and value-added improvement.

  1. The Company continues to develop materials applicable to electronic products and medical devices, extended the development of their applicable commercial fields, and has provided well-known domestic and international enterprises to conduct tests; the Company has already received positive responses.
  2. The Company aims to vertically integrate specialized chemical arterial

which has obtained patents from numerous countries.

  1. The Company also cooperate with other companies in the development of commercialized professional coated machines of special chemical materials to commercialize and popularize by improving coating efficiency and quality.
  2. Establish Plant Information Management System (PIMS) to integrate production data and combine it with AI technology to improve overall factory efficiency.
  3. Cooperate with the Linyuan Industrial Park's AI smart technology improvement plan promoted by the Industrial Development Agency of the Ministry of Economic Affairs to improve factory safety, production efficiency and competitiveness.

5. Management Principles and Prospects

Looking back at the global economy downturn over the past year (2025), the key factors include escalating international geopolitical risks, fluctuating tariff policies, the rise of unilateralism by the U.S. government and overcapacity in traditional industries such as petrochemicals. Although the Company's operating strategy last year aimed to significantly reduce general and capital expenditures and adjust production, sales, and inventory in a timely manner to minimize losses, the results were minimal, and losses widened compared to the previous year. This was mainly due to a sharp contraction in the downstream customer market for SM products in Taiwan, leading to a decrease in operating rates, and soaring energy costs.

Looking forward to this year (2026), the IMF estimates that the global economic growth will be $3.3\%$ this year, similar to last year. However, it is estimated that the new SM production capacity of China will still reach approximately 3.7 million tons in the next two years. The oversupply in the global SM market is not expected to ease in the short term. In addition, the coal decoupling policy of Kaohsiung City Government will significantly increase the Company's production costs this year. Under the structural pressure of "continuously rising costs, insufficient demand momentum, and severe overcapacity", the Company will inevitably seek transformation. The business strategy will prepare for the transformation, planning to change the SM production and sales model to a trading model to reduce losses, strengthen asset management and external investment, and recover external funds in order to successfully transform this year.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of 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 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 of 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 of the current period. 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

1. Revenue recognition

Regarding accounting policies on revenue recognition, please refer to note 4(n) “Revenue recognition” to the parent company only financial statements. For explanations on revenue recognition, please refer to note 6(s) "Revenue from contracts with customers" to the parent company only financial statements.

Description of the key audit matter:

The Company's sales revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied, which depends on the various trade terms agreed with customers. Therefore, the accuracy of revenue recognition is considered to be one of the most significant in the audit.

  • 8 -

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our principal audit procedures included assessing whether the accounting policies regarding revenue recognition were in conformity with relevant accounting standards; obtaining an understanding and testing the effectiveness of design and implementation of internal controls over revenue recognition; selecting samples and examining vouchers; selecting samples for a period of time before and after the balance sheet date and examining, based on customer-specific terms, the transaction terms and relevant vouchers to assess whether sales revenue was recognized in an appropriate period; in addition, we also performed analytical procedures on primary customers and products to evaluate if there is any material abnormality.

  1. Impairment of non-financial assets (Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets)

Regarding accounting policies on impairment of non-financial assets, please refer to note 4(m) “Impairment of non-financial assets” to the parent company only financial statements. For the accounting assumption and estimation uncertainty on non-financial assets, please refer to notes 5(a) to the parent company only financial statements. For explanations on property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets, please refer to notes 6(h), 6(j), and 6(i) to the parent company only financial statements, respectively.

Description of the key audit matter:

The prosperity of the industry where the Company is located is affected by market environment factors and the economy, resulting in unfavorable changes to the Company. Therefore, the assessment of non-financial asset impairment is important. Since the evaluation process of impairment depends on the subjective judgment and estimates of the management, it is with a high degree of uncertainty. Therefore, the impairment assessment of non-financial assets is one of the key matters in the audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our principal audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matters included understanding the processes of management's assessment of impairment; evaluating the professional competence, suitability, and objectivity of management's experts; for the recoverable amount determined by management based on the evaluation report issued by a third party, we assessed the impairment evaluation model, verified the company's budget and financial forecasts, evaluated the appropriateness of key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows, verified the sources of parameters used in calculating the discount rate, and performed retrospective testing to assess whether there were significant differences between the company's past estimates of future cash flows and actual results. Additionally, we also reviewed whether the book value of the company's non-financial assets was consistent with the results of the evaluation report.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of some equity-accounted investees of the Company (including those statements which were prepared using a different financial reporting framework). Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us. We have performed audit procedures on the conversion adjustments to the financial statements of those investees, which conform to those financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those investees and to the amounts prior to the conversion adjustments, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. Investments accounted for using equity method on those investees constituting 25.72% and 22.46% of total assets at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related share of profit of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method constituting 6.51% and 9.84% of total loss before tax for the years then ended.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

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

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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 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:

  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 Company’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 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 auditor’s 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 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 the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. 10 -


  1. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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 audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yin, Yuan-Sheng and Wu, Lin.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation:

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 a summary of material accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), 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 with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“IFRIC”) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“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 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 of 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 of the current period. 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. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.

  1. Revenue recognition

Regarding accounting policies on revenue recognition, please refer to note 4(o) “Revenue recognition” to the consolidated financial statements. For explanations on revenue recognition, please refer to note 6(x) “Revenue from contracts with customers” to the consolidated financial statements.

Description of the key audit matter:

The Group's sales revenue is recognized when a performance obligation is satisfied, which depends on the various trade terms agreed with customers. Therefore, the accuracy of revenue recognition is considered to be one of the most significant in the audit.

  • 16 -

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our principal audit procedures included assessing whether the accounting policies regarding revenue recognition were in conformity with relevant accounting standards; obtaining an understanding and testing the effectiveness of design and implementation of internal controls over revenue recognition; selecting samples and examining vouchers; selecting samples for a period of time before and after the balance sheet date and examining the transactions terms and relevant vouchers to assess whether sales revenue was recognized in an appropriate period; in addition, we also performed analytical procedures on primary customers and products to evaluate if there is any material abnormality.

  1. Impairment of non-financial assets (Property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets)

Regarding accounting policies on impairment of non-financial assets, please refer to note 4(n) “Impairment of non-financial assets” to the consolidated financial statements. For the accounting assumption and estimation uncertainty on non-financial assets, please refer to note 5(a) to the consolidated financial statements. For explanations on property, plant and equipment, intangible assets, and right-of-use assets, please refer to notes 6(j), 6(m), and 6(k) to the consolidated financial statements, respectively.

Description of the key audit matter:

The prosperity of the industry where the Group is located is affected by market environment factors and the economy, resulting in unfavorable changes to the Group. Therefore, the assessment of non-financial asset impairment is important. Since the evaluation process of impairment depends on the subjective judgment and estimates of the management, it is with a high degree of uncertainty. Therefore, the impairment assessment of non-financial assets is one of the key matters in the audit.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our principal audit procedures for the aforementioned key audit matters included understanding the processes of management's assessment of impairment; evaluating the professional competence, suitability, and objectivity of management’s experts; for the recoverable amount determined by management based on the evaluation report issued by a third party, we assessed the impairment evaluation model, verified the company’s budget and financial forecasts, evaluated the appropriateness of key assumptions used in estimating future cash flows, verified the sources of parameters used in calculating the discount rate, and performed retrospective testing to assess whether there were significant differences between the company’s past estimates of future cash flows and actual results. Additionally, we also reviewed whether the book value of the company's non-financial assets was consistent with the results of the evaluation report.

Other Matter

We did not audit the financial statements of some equity-accounted investees of the Group (including those statements which were prepared using a different financial reporting framework). Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us. We have performed audit procedures on the conversion adjustments to the financial statements of those investees, which conform to those financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for those investees and the amounts prior to the conversion adjustments, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. Investments accounted for using equity method on those investees constituting 24.79% and 21.66% of total assets at December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the related share of profit of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method constituting 6.54% and 9.80% of total loss before tax for the years then ended.

Taiwan Styrene Monomer Corporation has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion with other matters paragraph.

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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRC, 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.

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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 18 -


  1. Obtain sufficient and 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 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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yin, Yuan-Sheng and Wu, Lin.
