2024 Consolidated Financial Statements and External Auditor’s Report
External Auditor’s Report
To: Yuen Chang Stainless Steel Co., Ltd.
Audit Opinions
We have completed our review on the Consolidated Balance Sheet of Yuen Chang Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) and its subsidiaries on December 31, 2024 and 2023, and Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies) for January 1 to December 31, 2024 and 2023.
In our opinion, said consolidated financial statements in all major respects are in compliance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretation, or SIC Interpretation endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. They are sufficient to adequately express the consolidated financial status of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flow from January 1 through December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Basis for the Audit Opinions
We are entrusted to conduct our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of the report. We are independent of the Company 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. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinions, based on our audit results and the other external auditors’ report.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters refer to the most important matters for the audit of 2024 consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries based on our professional judgment. 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.
-10-
Key audit matters of 2024 consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are hereby stated as follows:
Adequacy of the deadline for sales revenue
According to the delivery terms and conditions agreed on by the Company, its subsidiaries, and customers, there was a deviation between the physical shipping date and delivery date or on board date. We evaluated that revenue risk might be recognized earlier than the actual delivery or on board. Therefore, we identify the adequacy of the deadline for the sales revenue close to the balance sheet date as the key audit matters.
Meanwhile, we also perform the following primary audit procedures:
-
I. Test the internal control related to adequacy of the deadline for recognition of the revenue.
-
II. Perform the random check on customers’ orders, shipping bills and sales invoices from the statement of operating revenue to identify whether the buyers identified in the customers’ orders and sales invoices are identical, and whether the sales invoice amount is consistent with the recognized revenue, and also perform the random check on external shipment certificates from the statement of operating revenue close to the balance sheet date to confirm whether the sales revenue is recognized for the applicable accounting period.
Other information
The Company has prepared the parent company only financial statements for 2024 and 2023, and the audit reports with unqualified opinions that we have issued are on file for reference.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The 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 with International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretation, or SIC Interpretation endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to continue operations, disclosing related matters, as well as continuing operations with the basis of accounting, unless the management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no feasible alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
-11-
External Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit on 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 will always detect a material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements 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 auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
I. 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.
-
II. 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 internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.
-
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
-
IV. Conclude on the appropriateness of the management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to continue as a going concern, based on the audit evidence obtained. 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 Company and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
V. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and contents of the consolidated financial statements, including the related notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
VI. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion on the Group.
-12-
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 under the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be considered affecting our independence, and where applicable, other matters (including related safeguards).
From the matters communicated with the governance unit, we have determined key audit matters of 2024 consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries. 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.

2024 Parent Company Only Financial Statements and External Auditor’s Report
External Auditor’s Report
To: Yuen Chang Stainless Steel Co., Ltd.
Audit Opinions
We have completed our review on the Parent Company Only Balance Sheet of Yuen Chang Stainless Steel Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) on December 31, 2024 and 2023, and Parent Company Only Statement of Comprehensive Income, Parent Company Only Statement of Changes in Equity, Parent Company Only Cash Flow Statement, and Notes to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies) for January 1 to December 31, 2024 and 2023.
In our opinion, said parent company only financial statements in all major respects are in compliance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. They are sufficient to adequately express the parent company only financial status of the Company as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and its parent company only financial performance and parent company only cash flow from January 1 through December 31, 2024 and 2023.
Basis for the Audit Opinions
We are entrusted to conduct our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of the 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 opinions, based on our audit results and the other external auditors’ report.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters refer to the most important matters for the audit of 2024 consolidated financial statements of the Company based on our professional judgment. 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.
Key audit matters of 2024 parent company only financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries are hereby stated as follows:
-20-
Adequacy of the deadline for sales revenue
According to the delivery terms and conditions agreed on by the Company and customers, there was a deviation between the physical shipping date and delivery date or on board date. We evaluated that revenue risk might be recognized earlier than the actual delivery or on board. Therefore, we identify the adequacy of the deadline for the sales revenue close to the balance sheet date as the key audit matters.
Meanwhile, we also perform the following primary audit procedures:
-
I. Test the internal control related to adequacy of the deadline for recognition of the revenue.
-
II. Perform the random check on customers’ orders, shipping bills and sales invoices from the statement of operating revenue to identify whether the buyers identified in the customers’ orders and sales invoices are identical, and whether the sales invoice amount is consistent with the recognized revenue, and also perform the random check on external shipment certificates from the statement of operating revenue close to the balance sheet date to confirm whether the sales revenue is recognized for the applicable accounting period.
Responsibilities of the management and governing body to the parent company only financial statements
The 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, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Company to continue operations, disclosing related matters, as well as continuing operations with the basis of accounting, unless the management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no feasible alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
External Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit on 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 will always detect a material misstatement in the parent company only financial statements 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 the parent company only financial statements.
-21-
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
I. 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.
-
II. 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 internal control of the Company.
-
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.
-
IV. Conclude on the appropriateness of the management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, based on the audit evidence obtained. 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.
-
V. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and contents of the parent company only financial statements, including the related notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
VI. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities 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 on the Company.
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 under the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be considered affecting our independence, and where applicable, other matters (including related safeguards).
-22-
From the matters communicated with the governance unit, we have determined key audit matters of 2024 parent company only financial statements of the Company. 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.
