2023 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTS (Parent company only financial statement)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Yem Chio Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Yem Chio Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2023, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “parent company only financial statements”).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter ) , 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, 2023, and its parent company only financial performance and cash flows for the year 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the 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 and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained 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, 2023. 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 for the Company’s 2023 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:

  • 11 -

Valuation of inventory

The Company is mainly engaged in the manufacture, processing, and sales of packaging materials, including BOPP film, adhesives and polystyrene sheets, as well as land development and construction. The Company’s inventories were measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Considering the Company’s inventories were significant to the parent company only financial statements and the determination of net realizable value for the inventories involves judgements and estimates, and the aforementioned matters exist in the Company, we identified the evaluation of inventories as a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures including (but are not limited to) assessing the appropriateness of the management’s accounting policy for inventory evaluation; evaluating and testing the effectiveness of relevant internal control; sampling the inventory aging report by checking the inventory entry dates are consistent with relevant supportive documents; recalculating the inventory obsolescence loss based on the aging report; reviewing and calculating the reasonableness of the inventory net realizable value report; and participating in the annual inventory count to identify if there is obsolete or impaired inventory. For the inventory of land development and construction business, obtaining the valuation data in relation to the net realisable value of inventories to ascertain whether the data source, assumptions and methods adopted by the Company are reasonable. Testing data in order to check the reasonableness of the net realisable value of construction-in-progress and land held for building.

Please refer to Notes 4, 5 and 6(6) of the parent company only financial statements for the accounting policies, significant accounting estimates and the information about inventories, respectively.

Valuation of investment property

As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of investment property was NT$2,165,699 thousand, constituting 9% of total assets. The Company’s investment property is valued by external experts using the fair value model. Given that the valuation process is subject to significant assumptions on discount rate and future lease income and has material effect on the fair value measurement. We identified the evaluation of investment property as a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures including (but are not limited to) assessing the qualifications and independence of appointed external appraisers; obtaining and reviewing reasonableness of appraisal report, including valuation method and key appraisal assumptions and estimates, etc.; assessing reasonableness of the lease income and rental growth rate are reasonable by referencing to the market rental rate for the investment properties using the income approach.

  • 12 -

Please refer to Notes 4, 5 and 6(9) of the parent company only financial statements for the accounting policies, significant accounting estimates and the information about investment property, respectively.

Other matter

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investees accounted for under the equity method which were audited by other auditors. Therefore, our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in respect of these investments, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. Total accounted for under the equity method of these investees amounted to NT$1,207,009 thousand, constituting 4% of total assets as at December 31, 2023, and the comprehensive loss amounted to (NT$254) thousand, constituting (0)% of total comprehensive income for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The parent company only financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2022 were audited by other auditor, who expressed an unqualified opinion with emphasis of matter and other matter section on those statements on March 15, 2023.

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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can

  • 13 -

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 company only financial statements.

==> picture [486 x 66] intentionally omitted <==

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Company.

  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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. 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 accompanying notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information 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 audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

  7. 14 -

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 2023 parent company only financial statements 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.

2023 INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT AND FINANCIAL STATEMENTs (consolidated financial statement)

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Yem Chio Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Yem Chio Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2023, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “consolidated financial statements”).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter ) , the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2023, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 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, 2023. 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

  • 23 -

matters.

Valuation of inventory

The Group is mainly engaged in the manufacture, processing, and sales of packaging materials, including BOPP film, adhesives and polystyrene sheets, as well as land development and construction. The Group’s inventories were measured at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Considering the Group’s inventories were significant to the consolidated financial statements and the determination of net realizable value for the inventories involves judgements and estimates, we identified the evaluation of inventories as a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures including (but are not limited to) assessing the appropriateness of the management’s accounting policy for inventory evaluation; evaluating and testing the effectiveness of relevant internal control; sampling the inventory aging report by checking the inventory entry dates are consistent with relevant supportive documents; recalculating the inventory obsolescence loss based on the aging report; reviewing and calculating the reasonableness of the inventory net realizable value report; and participating in the annual inventory count to identify if there is obsolete or impaired inventory. For the inventory of land development and construction business, obtaining the valuation data in relation to the net realisable value of inventories to ascertain whether the data source, assumptions and methods adopted by the Group are reasonable. Testing data in order to check the reasonableness of the net realisable value of construction-in-progress and land held for building.

Please refer to Notes 4, 5 and 6(6) of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies, significant accounting estimates and the information about inventories, respectively.

Valuation of investment property

As of December 31, 2023, the fair value of investment property was NT$2,294,881 thousand, constituting 8% of total assets. The Group’s investment property is valued by external experts using the fair value model. Given that the valuation process is subject to significant assumptions on discount rate and future lease income and has material effect on the fair value measurement. We identified the evaluation of investment property as a key audit matter.

Our audit procedures including (but are not limited to) assessing the qualifications and independence of appointed external appraisers; obtaining and reviewing reasonableness of appraisal report, including valuation method and key appraisal assumptions and estimates, etc.; assessing reasonableness of the lease income and rental growth rate are reasonable by referencing to the market rental rate for the investment properties using the income approach.

  • 24 -

Please refer to Notes 4, 5 and 6(9) of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies, significant accounting estimates and the information about investment property, respectively.

Other matter

We did not audit the financial statements of certain subsidiaries which were audited by other auditors. Therefore, our opinion expressed herein, insofar as it relates to the amounts included in respect of these subsidiaries, is based solely on the reports of the other auditors. Total assets of these subsidiaries amounted to NT$1,625,238 thousand, constituting 5% of consolidated total assets as at December 31, 2023, and net operating revenue amounted to NT$1,186,474 thousand, constituting 9% of consolidated operating revenue for the year ended December 31, 2023.

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the year ended December 31, 2022 were audited by other auditor, who expressed an unqualified opinion with other matter section on those statements on March 15, 2023.

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 requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, 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, 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 audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the

  • 25 -

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 the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of the Group.

  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 ability to continue as a going concern of the Group. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient 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.

  7. 26 -

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 2023 consolidated financial statements 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.

Others

We and other auditors have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion with other matter section and an unqualified opinion with emphasis of matter and other matter section on the parent company only financial statements of the Group as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, respectively.
