In order to satisfy customers' special needs, the Company has researched and developed the functional stainless steel plates intended for various uses, and held mature production experience and manufacturing technology, which upgrade the Company's independent innovation capabilities and comprehensive competitiveness thoroughly. For the time being, the Company's products are extensively applied to computers, communications, and consumer electronics, automobile industry, eco-friendly energy, household appliances, button cell batteries and construction projects.

II. Summary of 2026 Business Report

(I) Business policy

  1. Develop new markets and products proactively, disperse the risk over concentrated sales and improve the profitability.
  2. Improve production efficiency and quality, and cut operating costs.
  3. Enhance the internal control system and implement corporate governance.
  4. Promote ethical management and perform social responsibility.

(II) Sales volume forecast and the basis thereof

The Company's sales volume in 2025 was approximately 136,103 metric tons. Based on industry conditions, market supply and demand, and considering its production capacity and business development, the Company plans to appropriately adjust its product mix and has set a target sales volume of 147,038 metric tons for 2026.

(III) Important production & sale policy

  1. For the production policy: Continue to enhance operating efficiency and improve production process and quality, and plan high-performance and high-profit product portfolio.
  2. For the sale policy: Maintain the fair relationship with existing customers, develop new sales territories, develop new customers and products, strengthen product segments and increase the added value of products.

III. The Company's future development strategy and impact posed by changes in external environment

For the outlook of Taiwan's stainless steel industry in 2026, as global inflationary pressures ease, the World Steel Association projects that global steel demand will bottom out and show a moderate recovery. On the positive side, the Federal Reserve is inclined to maintain its interest rate policy, thereby supporting market liquidity and driving a rebound in infrastructure investment and durable-goods consumption, such as automobiles and home appliances. At the same time, the Chinese government has strengthened steel export management policies, including export licensing systems, shifting from volume-based to quality-based controls. In addition, changes in Indonesia's nickel ore export policies are expected to help limit the outflow of low-priced steel products, thereby easing supply-demand imbalances in the Asian market. Furthermore, growth in the high-end smartphone, AI server, and robotics industries is driving demand for high-grade stainless steel materials, creating high-value-added development opportunities for Taiwan's steel manufacturers with advanced technological capabilities.

However, 2026 is also expected to be a challenging year. The Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) will conclude its transition period and formally enter the phase of carbon cost determination and compliance requirements. For Taiwan's export-oriented stainless steel industry, carbon costs will directly translate into operational pressure, accelerating industry consolidation and the shift toward greener, more competitive players. On the trade front, the U.S. government's reinstatement of "reciprocal tariffs" and "melt-and-pour" origin certification policies is compelling Taiwanese manufacturers to accelerate supply chain relocation and shift toward regionalized production to mitigate risks of trade sanctions.

Overall, the steel industry outlook for 2026 is expected to bottom out and rebound. Taiwan's stainless steel industry is likely to maintain steady upward momentum amid market fluctuations and enter a new cycle of high-quality growth.

In recent years, trends such as net-zero emissions, carbon taxation, and ESG have increasingly influenced industrial development and prompted adjustments in product portfolios. Steel-consuming industries will inevitably align with global decarbonization trends by calculating product carbon footprints, and costs related to carbon neutrality are expected to


gradually become a component of steel pricing. Accordingly, the Company will closely monitor relevant policies, regulations, and implementation timelines, and proactively adjust its products and manufacturing processes to capture new business opportunities arising from energy-saving and carbon reduction trends. Looking ahead, the Company will continue to stay aligned with evolving market trends by closely monitoring raw material price fluctuations, integrating internal and external resources, enhancing product quality and services, actively expanding into diverse markets, developing a broader portfolio of high value-added products, and increasing the proportion of premium products. At the same time, the Company will remain attentive to global market dynamics in order to respond swiftly to changes in the external environment, thereby creating sustainable long-term profitability and competitiveness, and fostering shared value for both the Company and society.

  1. The Board of Directors' diversity and independence:

(1) Diversity of the Board members:

The Company includes the philosophy of diversity into the “Corporate Governance Best Practice Principles” and “Procedure for Election of Directors.” The same expressly state that the election of directors shall be determined by taking diversity into consideration but directors serving as managerial officers concurrently should not be more than one-third of the whole directors. Meanwhile, it is advisable that an appropriate policy on diversity shall include, without limitation to, the two general standards, namely, basic requirements and values (gender, age, nationality and culture, etc.) and professional knowledge and skills (law, accounting, industry, finance, marketing or technology).

All members of the Board shall have the knowledge, skills, and experience necessary to perform their duties. To achieve the ideal goal of corporate governance, the Board of Directors shall possess the following abilities:

(a) Ability to make operational judgments; (b) Ability to perform accounting and financial analysis; (c) Ability to conduct management administration; (d) Ability to conduct crisis management; (e) Knowledge of the industry; (f) An international market perspective; (g) Ability to lead; (h) Ability to make policy decisions.

To implement the policy of board diversity, the Company aims to increase the proportion of female directors to more than one-third in the future. Currently, there is one female director serving on the Board, representing 14% of the total board seats. Further, there are two directors with the employee ID in the Company, i.e. 29%, and four independent directors, i.e. 57%. None of the independent directors shall hold more than three consecutive terms of office. One director's attain the age of 41~50 years old, three directors the age of more than 51 years old, and three directors at the age of more than 61 years old. For the Board members' diversified composition and professional ability, please refer to Note (1).

However, the Company has not yet achieved a minimum of one-third representation of either gender on the Board:

I. Explanation: In accordance with its Articles of Incorporation, the Company currently has seven directors. The incumbent directors were elected at the shareholders' meeting held on June 9, 2023. There is currently one female director, which complies with applicable regulations but does not yet meet the one-third threshold.

II. Measures adopted: Prior to the next board re-election upon the expiration of the current term, the Company will seek candidate recommendations from diverse sources, including industry and academia, in order to enhance corporate governance effectiveness and implement the board diversity policy.

(2) Independence of the Board of Directors:

Among the Board members, Chairman Yen Te-Ho and Director Yen The-Wei are siblings, and Chairman Yen Te-Ho and Representative of Juristic Person Director, Chang Yun-Ching, are father-in-law and daughter-in-law. There are four independent directors. Accordingly, the Company should be held complying with Article 14-2 of the Securities and Exchange Act, requiring that there should be no less than two independent directors and the number of independent directors shall be no less than one-fifth of the whole directors. Meanwhile, more than a half of the Company's Board members do consist of persons who are neither a

15


spouse nor relative within the second degree of kinship of any director.

The criteria introduced by the "Regulations" consists of five major elements, each representing a different stage of internal control: 1. Control environment, 2. Risk evaluation and response, 3. Procedural control, 4. Information and communication, 5. Supervision. Each element further encompasses several sub-elements. Please refer to “the Regulations” for details.

IV. The Company has adopted the above-mentioned criteria to validate the effectiveness of its internal control design and execution.

V. Based on the aforementioned assessment results, the Company considers that, as of December 31, 2025, its internal control system (including the supervision and management of subsidiaries), covering the effectiveness and efficiency of operations, the reliability, timeliness, and transparency of reporting, and compliance with applicable regulations and laws, has been properly designed and effectively implemented, and can reasonably assure the achievement of the aforementioned objectives.

(II) Overview of industry

  1. The industry's current status and potential developments:
    The Company is engaged in precision rolling, surface treatment, processing, manufacturing and sale of stainless steel coils. The overview of steel & iron industry and stainless steel industry is stated as follows:
    (1) Steel industry:
    The iron & steel industry is an industry primarily engaged in production of various iron and steel products, which is identified as the fundamental industry for the national infrastructure and also the mother of industry. It is a capital and technology-intensive industry, with the industrial correlations in depth and width. The food, clothing, housing, transportation, education and entertainment in people's livelihood are all closely linked with the iron & steel industry. Therefore, the iron & steel industry requires more capital than the general industries. Meanwhile, it needs to take longer time to construct factories, and requires extremely delicate equipment and technology. The characteristics in the industry's business management include smaller production resilience, slow return on investment, higher energy consumption than the other industries, basic environmental protection issue about prevention of air pollution, and requirement for larger land for factory expansion. In consideration of the extensive connection

  2. 106 -


between the upstream and downstream segments in the industry, it has extensive scope of application. As the transportation industry, machinery industry, metal manufacturing industry, medical product industry, construction industry, aerospace industry, home appliance industry, and car industry are all closely linked with the iron & steel industry, the industry's development is also closely linked with the economy.

(2) Stainless steel industry:

The iron & steel products can be divided into ordinary steel and special steel subject to the manufacturing process. The reason why the special steel is different from the ordinary steel resides in that one or more special elements will be added in the refining process, in order to change the original property of the ordinary steel or present another special property to fit different purposes or special environments. The stainless steel is one of the special steel types, with the characteristics, such as anti-corrosion, high temperature resistance and aesthetics. Therefore, its application is very extensive. Generally speaking, with the GPD growth in any country, the consumption of stainless steel will increase relatively in that country.

In conclusion, stainless steel will continue to be extensively applied in construction, transportation, kitchen, electrical appliances and industrial machinery. Especially, the recent trend has emphasized long life cycle, energy conservation, environmental protection and informatization for materials. Therefore, stainless steel products are expected to be developed toward the following trends shortly: 1. Environmental protection - In order to suppress generation of carbon dioxide, more stainless steel with excellent heat resistance and high temperature corrosion resistance will be applied to high-temperature garbage incinerators, liquid natural gas power generators, and high-efficiency power generators that use coal. Meanwhile, electric vehicles will be made more practical; therefore, it is expected that more stainless steel will be applied to automotive batteries. Besides, in terms of water resource utilization, especially water quality protection, water pipes and water treatment devices equipped with excellent anti-corrosion stainless steel will be adopted by more people. 2. For long service life - countries, such as Europe countries and the United States, will, based on the LCC (life cycle and price ratio) evaluation method, adopt more stainless steel sections and bars in infrastructure projects including bridges, highways and tracks. In Japan, the life of buildings was designed as 20–30 years in the past. Now, it is designated as 100 years. Therefore, more stainless steel products will be adopted. 3. For informatization - require high-precision and high-performance materials, e.g. mobile phones requiring high-strength, elastic and non-magnetic materials; stainless steel can satisfy the requirements; manufacturing of semiconductors and various integrated circuit boards requires stainless steel, which delivers the characteristics, such as cleanliness and durability; therefore, the future demand for stainless steel is expected to be expanded further.

  1. Correlation among up-stream, mid-stream, and down-stream segments in the industry:

The Company's main products include stainless steel coils, etc. The main source of raw materials refers to stainless steel strip. The dealers in the midstream segment include pipe manufacturers, surface treatment companies and shearing service companies, etc., covering the associated industries including construction, manufacturing, people's livelihood and national defense industries. etc.. Correlation among up-stream, mid-stream, and down-stream segments in the industry is stated as follows:

  • 107 -

img-0.jpeg

3. Product development trends:

In 2026, the global stainless steel products market has entered a more advanced stage characterized by "increasing precision" and "function-driven" development. The following provides an in-depth analysis across three core sectors: kitchen and sanitary applications, medical devices, and industrial equipment:

(1) Kitchen and Sanitary Applications: From "Durability" to "Active Protection and Aesthetics":

By 2026, consumers are no longer satisfied with stainless steel's "corrosion resistance." With the proliferation of smart home appliances and heightened hygiene awareness, kitchen and sanitary products are undergoing a "disruptive shift" driven by material innovation.

a. Nano coatings: Nano-coating technologies are widely applied in kitchen sinks and premium cookware in 2026. These coatings provide not only anti-fingerprint properties, but also self-cleaning and hydrophobic/oleophobic functions, significantly reducing the need for cleaning agents.
b. Standardization of antimicrobial stainless steel: Technologies incorporating copper or silver ions enable long-lasting antimicrobial performance. This has become a standard feature in commercial kitchens and high-end residential applications in 2026, addressing increasingly complex foodborne pathogens.
c. "Nickel-free" and "low-nickel" trend (18-0 stainless steel): Driven by raw material cost volatility and decarbonization considerations, 18-0 (430 series) stainless steel continues to gain market share. Its excellent magnetic properties make it


well-suited for induction heating (IH) cookware, while also enhancing recyclability within circular economy systems.

(2) Medical Devices: From “Material Supply” to “High-Precision Clinical Solutions”

Demand for stainless steel in the medical sector has undergone a qualitative leap in 2026, driven by aging populations and the widespread adoption of minimally invasive procedures.

a. Implant-grade stainless steel and 3D printing: Implant-grade materials such as 316L stainless steel are increasingly integrated with metal additive manufacturing in 2026. Medical providers can customize orthopedic implants, such as bone plates and supports, based on patient-specific anatomy, placing stringent requirements on material purity and fatigue resistance.

b. EU MDR compliance and traceability: 2026 marks the year of full implementation of the EU Medical Device Regulation (EU MDR). This requires every stainless steel surgical instrument and endoscopic component to have a “digital identity,” fully recording its alloy composition and carbon footprint, posing a significant challenge to supply chain digitalization.

c. Precision alloying of trace elements: To enhance biocompatibility, more “low-allergen” alloys designed for orthopedic applications have emerged in 2026, reducing nickel release while maintaining high corrosion resistance.

(3) Industrial Equipment: The Three Key Drivers—Semiconductors, Hydrogen Energy, and Data Centers

This is the highest-value and most technically demanding segment in 2026. Stainless steel has become foundational infrastructure for both green energy and AI computing.

a. Hydrogen energy infrastructure (hydrogen embrittlement-resistant alloys): As hydrogen energy commercialization enters a scaling phase in 2026, demand for specialized austenitic stainless steels designed for high-pressure hydrogen storage and transportation is surging. R&D efforts are focused on addressing structural failures caused by hydrogen embrittlement through nitrogen passivation technologies.

b. Semiconductors and AI data centers: ultra-high-purity (EP-grade) piping: As semiconductor fabrication (fab) processes advance to sub-2 nm nodes, stainless steel piping used for chemical delivery must meet ultra-clean standards, with zero tolerance for trace metal contamination.

c. Thermal management systems: Liquid cooling solutions for AI servers, including rear-door cooling systems and heat exchangers, increasingly utilize ultra-thin stainless steel foils. This requires materials with excellent weldability and consistent thermal conductivity.

d. Decarbonization of steel production: In 2026, leading stainless steel producers, particularly in Europe and India, have begun commercial-scale operations of green hydrogen-based steelmaking. This trend is driving downstream equipment manufacturers to prioritize reactors and pressure vessels made from “zero-carbon steel.”

Segment Key Growth Drivers Key Materials / Technologies 2026 Strategic Focus
Kitchen & Sanitary Applications Sustainable living, IH heating, home hygiene Antimicrobial coatings, 430 series stainless steel, nano-engineered surfaces Brand positioning and ease of maintenance
Medical Devices Aging population, demand for minimally invasive procedures 316L implant-grade stainless steel, 3D printing, MDR traceability Regulatory compliance and high biocompatibility
Industrial Equipment Semiconductor expansion, hydrogen economy, AI thermal management EP-grade stainless steel piping, hydrogen embrittlement-resistant alloys, ultra-thin foils High technical barriers and energy efficiency

4. Product competition:

There are many domestic shearing and processing center manufacturers domestically, which are of different scales and form a fragmented market, especially those identifying their target market as the domestic marketing. Large-scale shearing and processing centers are primarily oriented toward export sale. Benefited from the scale of economy, the market tends to be that the winner takes it all. Large-scale shearing and processing centers require considerable management abilities, and also wide land and factory premises. Considering that it is difficult to acquire land in Taiwan and the price is expensive, competitors will have to face a major barrier for acquisition of land. The Company was incorporated in 1987, primarily engaged in the business lines including stainless steel coil processing and sale. The Company's industry category constitutes a part of the iron & steel industry. For the time being, the domestic peers similar to the Company in products, capital and business scale and already listed on TWSE/TPEx primarily include Chain Chon (5014), Froch Enterprise Co., Ltd. (2030) and Sinkang (2032). The comparison in terms of business lines and operating revenue is stated as follows:

  1. Future market demand and supply, and market's growth potential:

With the increasing awareness toward global environmental protection, the characteristics of stainless steel, such as heat resistance, anti-corrosion and recyclability, coupled with the introduction of new production technology and expanded output of stainless steel, have caused the cost to keep declining. Therefore, high-quality stainless steel materials are replacing low-end iron & steel materials or plastic materials increasingly, and applied to various fields of life extensively. The stainless steel industry is expected to have certain development potential in the future.


  1. Competitive niche:

(1) Optimization of production technology to improve quality:

The Company keeps improving the production technology level. In addition to improving and upgrading the production skills and procedures, the Company also carries out shearing of stainless steel coils in consideration of product optimization, in order to reduce any unnecessary waste. Meanwhile, the Company adopts the incentive system to stimulate employees' work efficiency to enhance the production stability.

(2) Stable marketing channels:

The Company has developed the stainless steel industry thoroughly for more than three decades. In recent years, it has kept moving towards the international market. It strives to keep the original customers and also develop customers in emerging countries, in order to disperse the Company's business risk. For this, the Company recruits and trains excellent talents engaged in foreign trade, hoping to acquire diversified marketing channels. So far, the Company's marketing channels have grown significantly.

(3) Establish close cooperative relationship with suppliers:

Stainless steel materials account for more than 90% of product costs; therefore, securing stable supply sources with consistent quality is a key success factor in this industry.

The Company maintains a long-term supply relationship with major stainless steel materials suppliers, and acts in response to the supplier's market management strategy, in order to reduce the total costs and also satisfy down-stream dealers' immediate needs, thereby shortening the time spent in delivery to customer and mitigating the effect posed by fluctuations in the steel price or foreign exchange rate. Besides, the iron & steel industry is subject to the competition conditions, such as the scale of economy. The Company happens to have the strength in the cost of raw materials, production efficiency and product quality.

(4) Integrate the cross-strait resources to become more competitive:

At the very beginning, the Company chose Taiwan as its major production location. In December 2011, the Company acquired Surwin Global Limited (HK) and Ningbo Qiyi Precision Metals Co., Ltd. Indirectly via the investee, Qiyi Precision Metals Co., Ltd.. Since China has become the global largest production location of stainless steel materials with the strength in stable supplies, the Company will continue to develop localized customer services in China, in order to join the red supply chain.

(5) Sound E-systems:

In order to reduce management costs, the Company utilizes the ERP informatization management to construct the wireless network at factory premises, use mobile devices and Apps to facilitate the rapid circulation of the Company's information and timely communication of any messages, thus improving the management efficiency and cut the business costs. Meanwhile, in order to improve the exchange between the Company and customers, the Company invests capital in online marketing platforms to provide customers with more direct and rapid services. The Company aims at the international market, develops a larger global customer base and also improve its high-level competitiveness at the same time.

(6) Establish bonded factories:

The iron & steel industry is under protection by multiple tariff barriers in various countries all over the world for the time being. The Company owns higher export sale ratio; therefore, if it establishes bonded factories, it may

mitigate the burden of capital and cut the costs, and become more competitive than the other local manufacturers.

  1. Positive factors and negative factors to the development outlook:

(1) Positive factors:

A. Continuing growth of market demand

The market development and product development of stainless steel have gradually expanded and improved as a result of changes in the social environment and development of customer needs. The characteristics, such as outstanding "anti-corrosion" and "designability" subject to purpose of stainless steel have made huge contributions to human life. Meanwhile, there is still the room for development and huge development value of it in the future. Given China, India and emerging countries keep promoting infrastructure projects, the demand for stainless steel appears to grow significantly and rapidly in the future and, therefore, may drive the growth of the stainless steel industry.

B. With the increasing awareness toward environmental protection, the product application scope is extensive.

In order to suppress generation of carbon dioxide, more stainless steel with excellent heat resistance, high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance will be applied to high-temperature garbage incinerators, liquid natural gas power generators, and high-efficiency power generators that use coal. Meanwhile, electric vehicles will be made more practical in this century; therefore, it is expected that more stainless steel will be applied to automotive batteries. Especially, in terms of water quality protection, water pipes and water treatment devices equipped with excellent anti-corrosion stainless steel will be adopted by more people.

C. In consideration of the industry's high capital-intensive characteristics, it requires high barrier to entry.

It is necessary for the iron & steel industry to invest considerable capital in acquisition of land and design and installation of factory premises and machinery & equipment. Therefore, it is identified as a capital-intensive industry.

D. The effect posed by the economic cycle to products is limited.

Stainless steel products are applied extensively. The industries including petrochemical industry, construction industry, automobile industry, people's livelihood industry and national defense industry all tend to make use of the characteristics of stainless steel for different purposes. In consideration of the dispersed applications of the industry, except the systematic risk, such as economic contraction, it is not likely to encounter the circumstance that multiple industries bottom down at the same time, and there is no risk over low and peak seasons or products subject to significant fluctuations of customers or sales industries resulting from the supply to only one single industry. Besides, the market growth in China drives various industries to grow relatively and be applied more extensively. The demand for stainless steel grows accordingly.

(2) Negative factors:

A. Difficulty in employment of workers and costs increasing year by year.

Following the industry relocation and increasing loss of talents in the traditional industries, as well as the crowding out effect caused by high-tech industries, in order to deal with said circumstances, the

  • 114 -

Company will not only improve employee benefits, but also strengthen the implementation of automation and improvement of environment at the same time when it is upgrading the industry and continue to develop high value-added products.

Responsive measures:

The Company and its subsidiaries keep improving the production process and workmanship, and adopt the reward and punishment system to reduce re-work and unnecessary manpower consumption, in an attempt to improve the production efficiency, eliminate the cost pressure from increasing wages, establish a good communication channel with employees, and strengthen personnel management. It improves the employee benefits, and also establishes the sound education & training mechanism and integrate data system platforms' applications to prevent the loss of key human resources, and continue to improve the operating system's automation and working environment.

B. The drastic fluctuations in the raw material price affect the cost controls.

For the time being, the global stainless steel market still tends to identify the 300 series as the mainstream. The stainless steel product with high nickel contents is affected by the international quotes significantly and subject to huge cost volatility.

Responsive measures:

The Company shall maintain long-term, collaborative relationships with upstream raw material suppliers and adopt flexible procurement strategies and optimized inventory management to mitigate the impact of raw material price fluctuations and ensure supply stability, while closely monitoring price trends and responding in a timely manner. Meanwhile, the Company shall use the best efforts to develop the market of stainless steel with low nickel content.

VI. Analysis and evaluation on risk issues

(I) Impact posed by interest rate, exchange rate, and inflation on the Company's earnings, and responsive measures

  1. Changes in interest rate:

In 2025, the interest rates on short-term and long-term bank borrowings of the Company and its subsidiaries ranged from approximately 0.62% to 4.45%. Since 2022, the Federal Reserve has raised interest rates multiple times; however, the pace of increases has recently moderated, and the Federal Reserve is expected to pause further rate hikes in the near term. The dedicated personnel from the Company's Finance Section will, regularly or irregularly, evaluate the bank loan interest rate, keep watching the changes in international and domestic financial markets, and make related information available to the sales representatives and procurement personnel. Meanwhile, it will keep in touch with banks to seek more favorable loan interest rate and sufficient facility.


  1. Changes in foreign exchange rate:

The main markets of the Company and its subsidiaries cover Europe and the United States. Some of the Company's main raw materials, such as stainless steel strips, are purchased from foreign suppliers. Therefore, the offset between purchase and sale in the same currency may drive the natural hedge against changes in foreign exchange rate. The Company's exports and purchases have declined progressively recently. Therefore, the effect to be posed by changes in foreign exchange rate to the Company's income is mitigated relatively. In order to evade the effect potentially posed to the earnings by foreign interest rate volatility, the Company takes the following responsive measures:

(1) Offset foreign-currency-denominated assets against foreign-currency-denominated liabilities, make the payment of imported goods with the foreign-currency-denominated payment received for the export directly to reduce the exchange difference generated from transactions in foreign currency.
(2) Collect the information about changes in foreign exchange rate and verify the foreign exchange trends sufficiently, in order to decide the timing to convert the foreign currency into NTD, or retain it in the foreign exchange account.
(3) Improve the product quality and the value-added value thereof, and adjust the selling price to reflect costs in a timely manner in the case of foreign exchange rate volatility.

  1. Inflation:

The Company and its subsidiaries have not yet suffered any significant impact to the income due to inflation by the date of publication of the annual report. The Company will keep observing the commodity price volatility in the market and develop the sources of raw materials and supplies, in an attempt to cut the production cost and also to maintain fair relations with customers to reflect the production costs to customers in a timely manner. Therefore, this could help mitigate the effect posed by inflation to the Company's earnings effectively.

(II) Policies on high-risk and highly leveraged investments, loans to third parties, endorsements/guarantees, and derivatives trading, main causes of profit or loss incurred and future responsive measures

The Company has consistently adhered to a focused and prudent approach to its core business operations, with a financial policy based on stability and conservatism. It has not engaged in high-risk or highly leveraged investment activities. Derivative financial instrument transactions are undertaken solely for hedging purposes, and as of the end of 2025, there were no outstanding hedging transactions. Further, the loaning of funds to others and making of endorsements/guarantees, if any, shall be carried out in accordance with the "Operating Procedure for Loaning to Others" and "Operating Procedure for Making of Endorsements/Guarantees," in order to mitigate potential risks.

(III) Future R&D plans and R&D expenses to be invested

  1. Considering that the Company manufactures stainless steel products, the future R&D plan will focus on improvement of quality and production process. The Company has delegated dedicated personnel to take charge of the relevant R&D operations.

The Company carries out business according to the existing laws and regulations. Meanwhile, the Company keeps watching the domestic and foreign important policy orientation, formulation of the policy, legislative history and detailed contents related to the Company's operations, and take the initiative to propose responsive measures in a timely manner. No impact has been posed by changes in domestic or foreign policies and laws on the Company's business and finance by the date of publication of the annual report.

(V) Impact posed to the Company's business and finance, and response measures, in the event of technological changes (including cyber security risk) or industrial changes

The development of new technologies and applications presents both challenges and opportunities for the industry. The Company will continue to deepen the application of information technology. Its Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is being continuously enhanced through in-house development to improve functionality and completeness, while the Shop Floor Control (SFC) system has effectively improved manufacturing processes, increasing production capacity and yield rates.

The Company has commissioned a professional information security consulting company to implement information security vulnerability testing for servers and important information security equipment, and conduct social engineering drills and education and training. Regularly implement information security promotion internally to all colleagues throughout the Company, and fix the vulnerabilities in the server operating system, including system remote backup and disaster recovery drills, as well as the real-time updates and control for the system security of mails, firewalls, netcom devices and anti-virus system, to avoid abnormal attacks from any third parties that would cause paralysis of the Company's operations.

(IX) Risks and responsive measures associated with concentrated purchases or sales

  1. Concentrated purchase:

In consideration of the industrial characteristics, the Company purchases raw materials from major suppliers centrally, primarily in order to control the stable source of raw materials and fine and reliable quality. Meanwhile, the major suppliers have worked with the Company for a long term and, therefore, the Company is able to acquire the raw materials at reasonable cost. The Company also uses the best effort to increase the sources of raw materials and supplies in different territories, in order to seek more diversified and resilient sources of raw materials. Therefore, the risk over concentrated purchases is under the Company's control actually.

  1. Concentrated sales:

In recent years, the Company's sales to any single customer didn't exceed 10% of the annual operating revenue, net. Meanwhile, in consideration of the risk control, the Company maintains long-term cooperative relations with the existing customers, and also develops new customers proactively, in order to increase the dispersion of customers and expand the dispersed sources of business. The Company will also continue to evaluate customers' financial position regularly, in order to mitigate risks. Therefore, there should be no risk over concentrated sales.

By the date of publication of the annual report, there was no major transfer or exchange of shares by the Company's major directors or major shareholders with more than 10% ownership interest. Even if there was, it was conducted per the shareholders' personal wealth management plan, but no effect has been rendered to the Company's actual operations. Therefore, no material effect has been caused to the Company.

(XI) Impact and risks on the Company due to a change of the right of management, and responsive measures: None.

(XII) If there has been any material impact upon shareholders' equity or prices for the Company's securities as a result of any litigation, non-litigious proceeding, or administrative dispute involving any of the Company's directors, supervisors, General Manager, de facto responsible person, or major shareholders with a stake of more than 10 percent, and the matter was finalized or remained pending, in the most recent year and until the date of publication of the annual report, please disclose the facts in dispute, amount in dispute, commencement date, main parties involved, and current status of the case until the date of publication of the annual report: None.
