One. [Report Items]

I. Business Report for 2022.

(I) Implementation Status of Business Plans

During 2022, the rising inflation, austerity and impact of geopolitics pushed up the energy price and the cost of iron ore and coal. Also, due to the sluggish demand in the international steel market, the steel price declined. The continuous destocking of the downstream customers resulted in the decrease in sales of steel products. However, due to undesirable destocking of the downstream screws industry, the export of screws did not meet the expectation, which had a negative impact on the Company’s sales of wire rods products and fabrication of wires. In addition, the rising cost of raw materials led to a shrinking profit margin. The 2022 individual operating revenue of the Tycoons Group was $1,225 million, decreasing by $2,492 million and 50.84% year-to-year, and the consolidated operating revenue was $9,616 million, decreasing by $10,700 million and 10% year-to-year. The net loss after tax was $120 million, and the net loss after tax per share was $0.25.

Looking forward to the future, with a gradual rise of the international steel market, the continuous promotion of infrastructure in different countries, and the reopening of Mainland China from the epidemic, all of them will benefit the global manufacturing market recovery. Besides, the expected demand of end-user is positive, the willingness of inventory replenishment increases, and the market transaction tends to be active. As a result, the steel market in middle and long-term is expected to be optimistic.

  3. Net cash outflow in financing activities decreased compared to the previous period, mainly due to a decrease in repayments made for long-term and shortterm borrowings in the current year.

----- End of picture text -----

In 2022, the Company saw a net loss. As such the profitability ratios for the year are all negative.

(IV) Research and development:

Due to the change in business environment, the Company shall continue to improve its production processes and develop new products.

(V) Future business strategy and important production and marketing policies:

  1. The wire rods sales business focused on the field of wire rods and wires. The Company expanded the OEM works of the pickling process and made efforts to increase orders of wires.

  2. With the improved heat treatment equipment, the productivity increased. The Company tried our best to win the orders and increase the amount of OEM works.

  3. For the domestic market of shear studs, as domestic infrastructure projects continue to be promoted, the Company seeks to stabilize product quality and enhance the punctuality of deliveries to actively expand the market.

(VI) Execution of budget: Not applicable.

5

(VII) Reasonableness of the remuneration of directors in 2022:

  1. In accordance with April 18, 2023 Letter No. Taiwan-Stock-Listing-I1121801644 of the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation.

  2. The Company’s consolidated net income (loss) after tax attributable to owners of the parent company for 2022 decreased by NT$546,286 thousand (a 128% decrease) compared to the same period in 2021, but the average amount of remuneration per director (excluding remuneration for part-time employees) paid by all companies in the consolidated financial statements for 2022 increased by NT$233 thousand (a 59% increase) compared to 2021, and the reasonableness of the remuneration of directors for 2022 is as follows:

  3. (1) The Company had a loss after tax for 2022 and therefore did not distribute the remuneration of employees and directors.

  4. (2) In November 2021, the remuneration of directors of the Company was increased due to the low remuneration of directors compared to the industry in previous years, but the responsibilities of independent directors and directors are increasing and the Company’s profit performance in 2021 was good. After the increase, the average monthly remuneration of each director of the Company is NT$34,000, which is still among the low level in the steel industry.

  5. (3) To sum up, the increase in the remuneration of directors in 2022 is mainly due to the increase in the monthly remuneration of directors, and the amount of the increase is also based on the level of remuneration of directors among the steel industry, so the increase in the remuneration of directors in 2022 is reasonable.

6

(VIII) Future prospects

The inflation has cooled down recently. The pace of the U.S. interest rate hikes has slowed down. The negative impact on the economy has been reduced. It indicates that the global economy is more optimistic than it was expected previously. With a gradual rise of the international steel market, continuous promotion of infrastructure in different countries, and reopening of Mainland China from the epidemic, all of them will benefit the rebound of the global manufacturing market. The wire rods market demand is expected to recover, but the current overall condition does not restore to the peak season level. The screw fabrication still needs to wait for destocking, the willingness of inventory replenishment to increase, and the demand of steel to be stable, to bring profit to the Company.

In the future, we shall deepen product planning and pursue cost reduction to maintain our core competitive advantages in the steel industry. By upholding the philosophy of self-surpassing, the Company pursues product diversification and enhancement of operating efficiency to cater to the rapid changing market and create more profit for the shareholders.

Financial Statements and Independent Auditor's Report

Attachment 1

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

NO.11351110EA

To the Board of Directors of Tycoons Group Enterprise Co., Ltd.,

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Tycoons Group Enterprise Co., Ltd. (“the Company”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards in 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 (“the Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical

12

responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, inclusive of the reports from other auditors, 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, 2022. 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.

1. Inventories Valuation

Refer to Notes 4(5) and 6(4) to the parent company only financial statements for the accounting policies and the details of the information about inventories. Description of the key audit matter

In the parent company only financial report, the inventory is measured at the lower cost or net realizable value. The Company is principally engaged in the production of metal products such as screws, nuts and washers. The value of inventories is susceptible to fluctuations in the price of the demand market and the speed of change of the respective industries. The sales of products may fluctuate violently, resulting in inventory obsolescence losses and expired losses, there is a risk that inventory costs may exceed the net realizable value.

How the matter was addressed in our audits

  • Review the aging schedule of inventories and analysis the changes.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management.

  • Obtain the quantity data of inventory at the end of the period and compare it with the inventory and actually observe the inventory to verify the existence and completeness of inventory.

  • By understanding the sale price made by management and the situation of market price after the accounting period to evaluate the reasonableness of inventory net

13

realizable value and compare the recent sales price or purchase cost of the inventories with the cost of the book to confirm that the inventories have been evaluated at the lower of cost or realizable value.

  • Evaluate the fairness of the disclosure of allowance for inventories valuation.

2. Revenue recognition

Refer to Notes 4(11) and 6(11) to the parent company only financial statements for the accounting policies and the details of information about revenue recognition. Description of the key audit matter

Revenue recognition when the risks and rewards of product transfer of and recorded amount directly affect the annual profit and loss of the Company. The Company and its clients have different trading conditions, we should identify the transfer of risks and rewards in accordance with trading conditions to recognize revenue. Therefore, there is a risk of revenue being recognized at an inappropriate amount or earlier than appropriate.

How the matter was addressed in our audits

  • Understand and test the Company’s internal control related to revenue recognition.

  • Understand the income type and trading conditions of the Company, to assess whether the accounting policy of revenue being recognized at the time is appropriate.

  • By the sampling method, examine supporting documents for actual sales transactions occurring during the year and near the end of the accounting period.

Other Matter

Making reference to the audits of component auditors

We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein are based solely on the reports of other auditors. The subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method amounted to $720,463 thousand and $655,976 thousand, representing 20% and 18% of total assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. And the related share of

14

profit from the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method amounted to $(141,129) thousand and $(82,443) thousand, representing 123% and (18)% of the (loss) profit before income tax of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

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

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

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

Those charged with governance, including members of 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 auditing standards in 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

15

company only financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards in 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 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.

  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

16

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 Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 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

NO.11351110ECA

To the Board of Directors of Tycoons Group Enterprise Co., Ltd.,

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Tycoons Group Enterprise Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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 (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), interpretations as well as related guidance endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards in 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 (“the Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained,

24

inclusive of the reports from other auditors, 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, 2022. 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.

1. Inventories Valuation

Refer to Note 4(6) and 6(6) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies and the details of the information about inventories.

Description of the key audit matter

In the consolidated financial report, the inventory is measured at the lower cost or net realizable value. The Group is principally engaged in the production of metal products such as screws, nuts and washers. The value of inventories is susceptible to fluctuations in the price of the demand market and the speed of change of the respective industries. The sales of products may fluctuate violently, resulting in inventory obsolescence losses and expired losses, there is a risk that inventory costs may exceed the net realizable value.

How the matter was addressed in our audits

  • Review the aging schedule of inventories and analysis the changes.

  • Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates made by management.

  • Obtain the quantity data of inventory at the end of the period and compare it with the inventory and actually observe the inventory to verify the existence and completeness of inventory.

  • By understanding the sale price made by management and the situation of market price after the accounting period to evaluate the reasonableness of inventory net realizable value and compare the recent sales price or purchase cost of the

25

inventories with the cost of the book to confirm that the inventories have been evaluated at the lower of cost or realizable value.

  • Evaluate the fairness of the disclosure of allowance for inventories valuation.

2. Revenue recognition

Refer to Notes 4(16) and 6(16) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies and the details of information about revenue recognition. Description of the key audit matter

Revenue recognition is when the risks and rewards of product transfer and recorded amount directly affects the annual profit and loss of the Group. The Group and its clients have different trading conditions, we should identify the transfer of risks and rewards in accordance with trading conditions to recognize revenue. Therefore, there is a risk of revenue being recognized at an inappropriate amount or earlier than appropriate.

How the matter was addressed in our audits

  • Understand and test the Group’s internal control related of revenue recognition.

  • Understand the income types and trading conditions of the Group, to assess whether the accounting policies of revenue being recognized at the time is appropriate.

  • By the sampling method, examine supporting documents for actual sales transactions occurring during the year and near the end of the accounting period.

Other Matter

Making reference to the audits of component auditors

We did not audit the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries of the Group. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in the consolidated financial statements relative to these consolidated subsidiaries was based solely on the reports of other auditors. The total assets of the subsidiaries amounted to NT$366,229 thousand and NT$309,975 thousand, both representing 4% of total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. And

26

the total revenues of the subsidiaries amounted to NT$42,501 thousand and NT$82,483 thousand, representing 0% and 1% of total consolidated revenues for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

We did not audit the financial statements of associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method. These financial statements were audited by other auditors, the associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method amounted to $544,596 thousand and $482,284 thousand, both representing 6% of total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021. And the related share of profit from the associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method amounted to $(130,788) thousand and $(91,241) thousand, representing (63)% and (92)% of the consolidated comprehensive income (loss) for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively.

Parent company only financial statements

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Tycoons Group Enterprise Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021 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 Issuer and the IFRSs, IASs, 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,

27

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 members of 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 auditing standards in 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 auditing standards in 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.

28

  1. 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.

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

  3. 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.

  4. 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.

  5. 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

29

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 for the year ended December 31, 2022 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.

TYCOONS GROUP ENTERPRISE CO., LTD.

Strengthening Operating Program

I. Reason for reduction

During 2022, the rising inflation, austerity and impact of geopolitics pushed up the energy price and the cost of iron ore and coal. Also, due to the sluggish demand in the international steel market, the steel price declined. The continuous destocking of the downstream customers resulted in the decrease in sales of steel products. However, due to undesirable destocking of the downstream screws industry, the export of screws did not meet the expectation, which had a negative impact on the Company’s sales of wire rods products and fabrication of wires. In addition, the rising cost of raw materials led to a shrinking profit margin.

As a result of the declining steel price that influenced the gross margin and the recognition of loss from inventory valuation, the Company faced a net loss of NT$120 million. The accumulated losses of the Company amounted to NT$1,426 million. In order to increase net value per share and strengthen the capital structure, it is proposed to conduct the capital reduction to offset the losses.

II.

Operation Program

(I) Expansion of wire fabrication capability of Tycoons Group

The Company has adjusted the operation strategy, expanded capability of wire fabrication equipment to 4,800 tons per month and OEM works of pickling process to 10,000 tons, and actively seized the domestic market share of OEM works. The Company adjusted the operation strategy from 2021. The first phase is to replace the equipment to improve the efficiency, readjust current layout of the factory for the most effective utilization, expand the fabrication capacity of wire rods and wires to 4,800 tons per month, and complete for production in the beginning of 2022. The second phase is to expand the production line of pickling process, enhance the capacity to 10,000 tons per month, and increase the business of OEM works of pickling process to bring the Company with more profit. The second phase of the program is expected to be completed in July 2023.

Table for the revenue from fabrication for the most recent three years of the Tycoons Group is as follows:

(Unit: NT$ thousand) (Unit: NT$ thousand)
2020 2021 2022
Revenue from fabrication of wires 40,704 106,614 163,720
Revenue from fabrication of screws
through heat treatment
79,919 90,236 102,425
Total 120,623 196,850 266,145
Revenue from sales of merchandise 1,057,849 2,295,583 959,153
Total 1,178,472 2,492,433 1,225,298

Since the Company expanded the capacity of wire fabrication equipment, the operating revenue increased from NT$40,704 thousand for 2020 to NT$163,720 for 2022, with a growth rate of 302%. During the second half of 2022, the geopolitical factors, including the Russia-Ukraine and China-America confrontation, had a significant impact on the globe. Especially, it had a significant impact on the export of screws from Taiwan. The destocking condition of customers was unfavorable. As a result, the export did not meet the expectation and influenced the sales of

37

wire rods and wires products and the fabrication orders. With the rebound of the economy, the demand by the market has increased. The capacity of wire fabrication is expected to be fully loaded, which will increase the gross margin and profit ratio.

(II) Tycoons Vietnam invested in the equipment of wire fabrication, set up production line for electrolytic Zinc, and dedicated to the exploration of business opportunity in the market of the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.

Tycoons Vietnam expanded the capacity of equipment from the second half of 2022, procured wires fabrication equipment and production line for electrolytic Zinc. For procurement of raw materials, there is an advantage for Tycoons Vietnam that it is near the Ha Tinh Steel factory. Also, because of the domestic demand due to the expansion of infrastructure in Vietnam, the demand for screws and wires continued to grow. The cost of local human resources for production is inexpensive. The Company expanded the capacity to 6,000 tons per month. It can transfer to OEM works as well to achieve both offense and defense.

After the expansion of Tycoons Vietnam, with the large domestic demand market in Vietnam, Tycoons Vietnam can better respond to the changes of market and produce products with higher gross margin. It is expected to create profit and transform the Company to wire fabrication factory with high profit.

(III) Develop sales market with diversification

The Tycoons Group owns production and sales bases located in Taiwan, Thailand, Mainland China, and Vietnam. Our products include wire rods, wires, screws, bolts, and steel bars, plus billets produced by the associate TY Steel Co., Ltd. The diversification and outstanding quality of the products and the vertical integration of production will bring the Group certain competitive advantages. The Company will actively respond to the market to develop flexible strategic cost management. The operating and sales department will stay close to different customers and set price according to their needs to facilitate the sales and order receiving.

(IV) Reduce operating costs

The Company will strengthen the operations of the organization. To achieve the goal of operations and sales, the Company should strengthen the collaboration and communication among organizations, continue to revise current regulations governing administration and procedures to simplify the process, and strive to establish regulation for each operation and ensure that rules are followed to reduce inappropriate managing costs.

(V) Strengthen financial structure

The Company has actively improved the financial structure for the recent years, increased cash inflows for repayment of the loans, and significantly reduced the debt ratio. Tycoons’ individual debt ratio reduced to 5.96%, the current ratio reached 629.39%. The financial structure became stable. After the capital reduction to offset the accumulated losses, there will be profit to distributable to shareholders, which will benefit the stability of the Company’s development in long-term.

III. Product sales expectation for 2023 are as follows:
