1. 2020 Business Report

(1) 2020 Business Results:

  • i. 2020 Review of Market Overview

  • a. Rise and fall of 2020 stainless steel wire rods market

The year 2020 was the first year of ban on mines in Indonesia, the focus of the market was originally put on the variation brought from ban on mines; however, the unexpected epidemic of COVID 19 interrupted original operating logic of nickel. The first quarter suffered from the infliction caused by the influence of the epidemic, the average price of spot nickel was US$12,723 per ton, commodities were affected one after another. The average price of spot nickel of the second quarter was US$12,215 per ton, the epidemic situation was gradually getting better in the end of the quarter, various countries chose to stimulate economics one after another, the market direction change was expected as economics recovery. In this background, the average price of spot nickel achieved US$14,208 per ton in the beginning of the third quarter, under the boost of downstream consumption, the nickel price broke away from the weak posture. The average price of spot nickel achieved US$15,920 per ton in the beginning of the fourth quarter, rising to a high position of more than one year. Comprehensively surveying all year around, the nickel price declined first and the rose, the growth of the lowest and highest section was 30.33%.The demand of stainless steel rose and fell, the global economics suffered from the impact in the early stage the epidemic, the consumption of stainless steel was encumbered, and the price of stainless steel has hit bottom, innovated the low position of the second half of the year. In post-epidemic era, China took the lead in resuming work and production, constantly released economic stimulus policies in the meanwhile, and boosted the market demand; however, according to the concept of gold September, silver October, the anticipation of the peak season demand came to nothing, but the lower inventory still provide a certain degree of support for the price, from early September to end of November, the production and demand of stainless steel simultaneously stepped into shrinking trend, the trend and band of the price was noticeable, and the rise section enlarged. In December, the downstream demand and consumption of stainless steel performed better, the eco power rationing policy influenced the yield of stainless in some areas, under the situation of the tight supply of the spot market, the price of stainless steel rebounded slightly, formed a boost of stainless steel, the nickel price was supported by that.

  • b. Recovery of carbon steel wire rods in the end of year 2020

  • All walks of life around the world encountered an enormous challenge under the influence of the epidemic in 2020, domestic and overseas prices from January to March substantially decreased. The overseas epidemic broke out from April, major auto factories and home appliance enterprise appeared the situation of a large scope of stoppage. The demand abroad substantially decreased from April to July. Starting in September, due to the strong emotion of resuming work and production, the demand started to recover and scraped steel and iron mine increased at the same time to impel the overseas price of billet steel started to increased constantly. As the epidemic is well controlled in China, the strong domestic demand and a large amount of purchase made a support for the price of semi-finished products.

4

Manufacturing of China rapidly resumed work and production in October, the clearing speed of the total inventory accelerated, and furthermore, it started to reconstruct in some areas after the flood, the steel demand steadily grew, the offered price of carbon steel upstream factories of October and the fourth quarter pulled back. The material market, such as coal iron mines and scraped steel, was soaring, various countries revitalized the economy, the market outlook was getting better. The domestic demand of wire rods was strong, the orders of downstream screw industry continuously appeared, this strong market demand continued to the first quarter of the year 2021.

  • c. Strengthen domestic market of stainless steel and carbon steel wire rods

  • In the year 2020, except Act 232 of USA has constantly influenced, the export volume in various countries adopted quota control constantly restricted by the overseas market and defensive measures of European Union, and the epidemic of COVID-19 spread, the market conditions of the first half of the year was depressed, domestic orders held steady in the epidemic of the second half of the year, the export demand did not significantly recovered, the whole entity was still depressed, the operations still declined, compared with the last year. The sales of stainless steel wire rods decreased by 2,235 tons, the sales amount decreased by NT$629,188 thousand, compared with the last year 2019. The Company encountered this severe market challenge and the uncertainty, on one hand, except put a lot of effort to consolidate the supply of stainless steel wire rods of domestic sales, on the other hand, strived to expand the current demand market of carbon steel wire rods.

d. 2020 business overview

  • The Company’s individual revenue presented a decline trend, the annual revenue was NT$5.59 billion, decreased by NT$950 million, compared with the revenue of the last year of NT$6.54 billion. The net loss before tax of the year 2020 was NT$466 million, the loss slightly decreased, compared with the net loss before tax of the year 2019 of NT$ 627 million. The revenue of the year 2020 decreased, compared with the year 2019, mainly influenced by the epidemic of COVID-19, the demand of the international market decreased, the export sales volume of stainless steel decreased by 15%, the revenue decreased by 22%, and OEM yield decreased by 53%, caused the decreases of the revenue of the year 2020. As the yield decreased, the increase of the production costs followed, and the decrease of the demand side resulted in the market competition, caused the difficulty of creating the price difference for -

  • the Company, the gross margin was 2.92%. Now the Company retains the current market with all the strength, strives to expand high-value products, and improves the production process, enhances the administrative operations, controls the production costs for expecting the Company can create better profit conditions, and stand out in a new trend of the market competition.

2. 2021Business Plan

  • (1) Constantly decreased the costs of carbon steel materials to expand the material resources of billet steel

The Company has constantly expanded other usable material resources of billet steel to decrease the costs of the raw materials and shorten the time course of delivery, and increased the order quantity of downstream customers to remain steady the full capacity of product lines. As COVID-19 vaccine gradually popularized, the supply and demand of global industries progressively restored order, various countries promoted infrastructure and public transportation, etc. to boost economics. American new president Biden has actively promoted the stimulus program of US$1.9 trillion, the follow-up measures of the epidemic prevention restrictions will be deregulated, and anticipated to boost business recovery. These processes will be contributive for the development of steel industry, and consequently the market atmosphere

9

of the first quarter of the year 2021 was anticipated to get better. As the epidemic retained stable and the economy recovered, the overall demand stabilized. Under the anticipation of rebound and strengthening of the demand of the second quarter, price increase energy still existed, and hopefully increased by quarters, anticipated to develop toward to a fast growth.

  • (2) Actively expanded channels of stainless steel wire rods, enlarged the market share

The domestic consumption of stainless steel wire rods of the year 2020 was 202 thousand tons, the percentage of the Company’s domestic sales slightly shrunk to 23.09%, compared with the year 2019 of 23.59%; the percentage of the export shipment shrunk to 8.90%, compared with the year 2019 of 10.87%. In stainless steel market of the year 2021, the steel industry of the present stage still encountered high tariff barriers of American Section 232 and the defensive measures of European total number restrictions, in addition, the coronavirus disrupted world economic order, caused the fierce competition, and the overall market demand weakened. Recently drove by the profitable news of COVID-19 vaccine trial, the commodity price of petroleum and basic metal, etc. has strongly rebounded from October of the last year. As the epidemic was stable and the economy recovered, the demand increased and became stronger, the stainless steel market prospect was optimistically expected. Except constantly developed European and American markets of high-end stainless steel wire rods, and besides, the Company transferred the objects of sales and services to South East Asia, controlled customers’ demand pulsation, provided overall services of excellent quality, reasonable prices and prompt delivery time, cooperated with customers to expand the market, and actively expanded sales of the Company’s stainless steel wire rods.

  • (3) Constantly strengthened research and development and sales

In view of the succeeding case of project research and development of high-end stainless steel type completed in 2015, it opened the integrated resources and co-development energy between the Company and downstream customers, the Company anticipated to duplicate this success experience, expanded other markets and customers through the Company’s steel composition, adjustment of production process, cooperated with customers’ paces, co-developed markets, and strived for the order opportunity. In addition, the Company cooperated with upstream raw material suppliers in the development of similar new steel types, except added the steel type combinations of 304J3A and 304M5, and developed a new dimension 5.0 mm and new steel types of 2205/303CU/430L, the Company added free-cutting wire rods AISI 303 in 2019, and completed to develop new steel type 410 in 2020, original expected development of new steel type YCS550 was postponed as the epidemic. The Company continued to develop new steel type for providing customers various options, and stabilizing the market.

  • (4) Energy conservation, proceeded the project of decreasing costs

  • Energy is the major cost of steel industry’s consumption, the Company has actively cooperated to invest in research and the innovation of manpower, in the aspects from the improvement of production process to product development, made efforts to achieve the goal of energy saving and carbon reduction, decrease resource consumption and production costs, and increase the

10

competitiveness at the same time. Many items of energy saving, the improvement of production process and measures has been constantly practiced from 2017, the Company will cooperate with the government’s energy policy, strive for the development of energy saving process, decrease of energy consumption and carbon emission, create the enterprise value, and increase industrial competitiveness.

  • (5) 2021 expected sales volume

In 2021, the Company has planned for selling stainless steel and non- stainless steel wire rods, the total sales will be 170 thousand tons, the total sales of OEM of carbon steel wire rods will be 110 thousand tons. In terms of the overall in 2021, stainless steel will be used a lot in the scopes of architecture, transport, kitchen, home appliances and industrial machinery in the future, especially long-life, energy saving, environmental protection and informatization materials are emphasized recently, and consequently the Company expected that stainless steel products will be developed toward the trends as follow: (1) In the aspect of environmental protection, used the stainless steel with heat resistant and high-temperature corrosive resistant functions. This stainless steel will be further practical in the scope of electric vehicles, automotive battery will adopt more stainless steel. In the usage of water resources, observed from the point of view of water quality protection, water pipes and the devices of water treatment will adopt excellent corrosion resistant stainless steel pipes. (2) In the aspect of long-life, various countries in Europe and America will further adopt stainless steel and stainless steel bars in the infrastructure, such as bridge, highway and rail, etc. in accordance with the evaluation methods of LCC (ratio of life and price). The past design life was 20-30 years, and now it increases to 100 years, and therefore more stainless steel products will be adopted. (3) In the aspect of informatization, there’s a demand of materials with high precision and high performance, like the equipment manufacturing semiconductor and various integrated circuit boards. As stainless steel has the character of cleaning and durability, henceforth the estimation of the demand quantity will be further enlarged.

In the part of stainless steel wire rods, to confront the demand in the future, and increase competitive capacity, except the Company actively seeks for raw material suppliers, decreases production costs, and constantly provides the competitive prices to customers, the Company should strive to develop and produce high-end products, continuously promote the high-end equipment, enhance the production technology to create the Company’s maximum benefits.

  1. The Company’s future development strategies, external competitive environment, regulatory environment and the influence of overall business environment

  2. (1) The Company’s future development strategies

The Company excepted to retain current American and Mainland markets, will actively expand European and South East Asian markets. In addition, the Company will transform into high-niche stainless steel products, provide for customers with high-end demand, and strive to decrease costs for stabilizing the general market, and serving the current customers. The Company constantly develops new stainless steel type with high machinability to expand the markets, and remove the

11

threat of low-price competition. We continuously export products with high added value to the markets, and integrate with upstream steel mills, constantly expand overseas billet steel resources to optimize the raw material supply, and provide customized products and services, expand the operation of different customer groups, seek for the Company’s best cost combinations and comprehensive operational performance. The Company’s products have been marketed for many years, the quality and services are deeply affirmed by customers, and the Company continuously drives Japanese lean management (TPM) to increase production performance continually, further strengthens the market competitiveness. YIEH HSING ENTERPRISE CO., LTD. promoted 5S activities during 2011-2013, introduced TPM activities, and challenged TPM excellent award. Promoting 5S and TPM activities has brought the great improvement effects for the Company. The yield and the gross margin significantly increased, and the malfunction and disasters substantially decreased. YIEH HSING ENTERPRISE CO., LTD. gained the affirmation on January 28, 2020, and received the excellence award. The Company implements the second phase of TPM now, centers on the personnel, gradually becomes the enterprise paying equal attention to manufacturing industry and service industry in the future, and aims to improve the quality, enhance the management, innovate products and sustainable operation.

(2) The influence of overall business environment

From the fourth quarter of the year 2020, in the aspect of the worldwide international trade, due to the spread of the epidemic of COVID-19 in Europe and America, many containers are congested at the port, it caused the situations of lacking containers and shipping spaces, and the soaring of international shipping fee, the delay of the ships’ setting sail and arrival frequently appears, it is unfavorable to the international trade, the Company utilizes the methods of estimating the shipping fee with experiences, and contacting many shipping agents, etc. to decrease the risk of business loss. The world tariff barriers, like American Section 232 and Safeguard measures of European Union, are still implemented constantly, as Taiwan lesser signed FTA with various countries, the foreign trade competitiveness gradually decreased, except confronted that international low-priced imported products influenced the domestic market, the export market often encounters the price cutting competition made by local steel mills for stabilizing the market share, the firms need the assistance of the government to obtain the tariff preference, and breath through the restriction of import shares. Encountered a severe ordeal of the international situation, external environment changed, how to decrease relevant costs of the supply chain, and the product difference, increased product’s added value, stabilized the sales channel, and retained the customer relationship, these are the key of sustaining the competitive advantages. The Company will adopt the segmentation countermeasure, use the stainless steel wire rods with the excellent quality and the prompt delivery to compete in the international market, its quality, delivery, price and service all obtain the stable support of domestic and foreign customers. To enhance the competitiveness in the Asian-pacific region, the Company will strengthen research and development and improvement of premium products, serve customers

12

with the optimized quality, and expand the markets.

  • (3) The influence of regulatory and overall business environment

  • i. Seeing that the iron industry is classified under resource-intensive industries, and influenced by the rise of global environmental awareness, how to effectively decrease the impact of the environment when the industry develops, it seems to become the consideration factor of sustainable operation and development policies of YIEH HSING ENTERPRISE CO., LTD. When the environment and regulations change, enterprise operation is intensively impacted by energy consumption, gas emission and water consumption, the Company realizes that, and consequently, drives the motivation of energy saving and the replacement of the low-carbon fuel in the industry, uses low carbon emission fuel, like natural gas, to substitute for high carbon emission fuel, after strived for production stabilization for many years, we immediately undertake to implement various contingency works. Included various items, such as energy saving and carbon reduction, the increase of energy efficiency, water recycling, overtime control and management and reasonable scheduling, etc., and established energy saving system, continued to actively reduce power or energy consumption, decrease the pollution sources of air and noise, efficiently increase water recycling, implement water saving, and take the responsibility of resource conservation.

  • ii. After Taiwan joined WTO, the import tariff of steel products decreased to 0%, became one of global most free and open markets, caused that China, Japan, Korea, Indonesia, Malaysia and other countries constantly dump excess steel to Taiwan with the unfair ultra-low price. Especially, the steel of Mainland enjoys high export tax rebate subsidies, massively dumps to various countries, it already caused that various countries around the world adopted the protection measures of anti-dumping, anti-subsidy and import defense on and another to obstruct the steel import of Mainland, force the steel of Mainland to turn dumping massively to Taiwan with the low price. After negotiated the product trade of ECFA, China still protects domestic steel industry to continually have the import tariff of 3%-10%, so under the difference of import tariff on both sides, it forms the unfair trade competitive environment.

    • Except the difference of import tariff on both sides, there are still other differences of regulations on both sides, such as temporary implementation of the export tariff, import approval verification and restricts, ban on import and other conditions. Therefore, we still strong appeal the government to face the current status of steel industry’s excess of Mainland, if China cannot effectively control the harm of the environment caused by production excess of steel industry, the harm of smog will definitely cause a severe public nuisance of Taiwan in few years, so in the negotiation process of ECFA, it must consult that currently various countries of South East Asia already strengthened the measures of controlling the steel product import of Mainland, and Taiwan must not become the unfortified island of the steel product import of Mainland.
  • iii. The Association of Southeast Asian Nations, Japan, Korea, Australia and New Zealand sighed

13

RCEP on November 15, 2020, whether Taiwan’s regional economic competitiveness was marginalized or not. Taiwan continually encounters the international competitions, needs to strive for more cooperation, like strengthen the deepening cooperation with America, and makes efforts to seek for joining CPTPP. After signed RCEP, the great influence will be two new establishing FTA relationships of China and Japan, Japan and Korea, as it will increase the competitive stress of Taiwan’s products in China, Japan and Korea. The Company will actively program response plans, and properly plans for diversified layouts and expanding sales.

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders Yieh Hsing Enterprise Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Yieh Hsing Enterprise Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the “Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, 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 (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 auditing standards generally accepted 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 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, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

15

Key audit matters for the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are stated as follows:

Revenue recognition

Please refer to Note 4.19 to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy on revenue recognition; Note 5.1.(1) for major accounting estimates and assumptions of revenue recognition; and Note 6.22 for the details of revenue recognition.

Description of key audit matter

Cause the Group engages mainly in the manufacturing and selling of wire rods and steel processed, operating revenue is one of the major item in the financial report and becomes to the concerns for users of financial statements. Therefore, we determined the revenue recognition as a key audit matter.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our key audit procedures included analyzing the industry trends, income types, product lines, and customers’ two-year operating income status to confirm whether there are abnormal circumstances or centralized transactions and identify possible risks; understanding and testing the internal control procedure to assess the effectiveness of the relevant internal control for revenue recognition; conducting a sample test on the sales transactions of the top ten new customers to confirm the authenticity of the sales transaction and executing sales cutoff test.

Valuation of inventory

Please refer to Note 4.8 to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy on inventories; Note 5.2.(4) for major accounting estimates and assumptions of inventories; and Note 6.5 for inventory valuation.

Description of key audit matter

The Group inventory amounted to $1,351,327 thousand (net of $1,356,465 thousand of total inventory less $5,138 thousand of allowance for inventory valuation loss) as of December 31, 2020, which accounted for 10.44% of total assets. The inventory valuation is measured at the lower of inventory cost and net realizable value. Given that the valuation of net realizable value of inventory has a significant impact on critical judgements and estimates and since inventory valuation is dependent on the influence of frequently volatile fluctuations of international metal price, we have thus included this item in the key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our key audit procedures included obtaining management’s assessment data which determines the lower of inventory cost and net realizable value; sampling estimated selling prices to the most recent sales records; and assessing the appropriateness of management's basis for estimating the net realizable value.

Other Matters

We have also audited the standalone financial statements of Yieh Hsing Enterprise Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

16

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 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 the 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’s or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted 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 the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

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

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

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

17

  1. 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.

  2. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financia1 statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  3. 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.

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 ethica1 requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all re1ationships 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, 2020 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.

18

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Jen Yao Hsieh and Shu Man Tsai.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders Yieh Hsing Enterprise Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalone balance sheets of Yieh Hsing Enterprise Co., Ltd. (the “Company") as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the standalone statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the standalone financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying standalone financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the standalone financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its standalone financial performance and its standalone 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the standalone Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 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 standalone financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalone financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company's standalone financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are stated as follows:

26

Revenue recognition

Please refer to Note 4.17 to the standalone financial statements for the accounting policy on revenue recognition; Note 5.1.(1) for major accounting estimates and assumptions of revenue recognition; and Note 6.19 for the details of revenue recognition.

Description of key audit matter

Cause the company engages mainly in the manufacturing and selling of wire rods and steel processed, operating revenue is one of the major item in the financial report and becomes to the concerns for users of financial statements. Therefore, we determined the revenue recognition as a key audit matter.

How the matter was addressed in our audit

Our key audit procedures included analyzing the industry trends, income types, product lines, and customers’ two-year operating income status to confirm whether there are abnormal circumstances or centralized transactions and identify possible risks; understanding and testing the internal control procedure to assess the effectiveness of the relevant internal control for revenue recognition; conducting a sample test on the sales transactions of the top ten new customers to confirm the authenticity of the sales transaction and executing sales cutoff test.

Valuation of inventory

Please refer to Note 4.7 to the standalone financial statements for the accounting policy on inventories; Note 5.2.(4) for major accounting estimates and assumptions of inventories; and Note 6.4 for inventory valuation.

Description of key audit matter

The Company's inventory amounted to $1,351,327 thousand (net of $1,356,465 thousand of total inventory less $5,138 thousand of allowance for inventory valuation loss) as of December 31, 2020, which accounted for 10.44% of total assets. The inventory valuation is measured at the lower of inventory cost and net realizable value. Given that the valuation of net realizable value of inventory has a significant impact on critical judgements and estimates and since inventory valuation is dependent on the influence of frequently volatile fluctuations of international metal price, we have thus included this item in the key audit matters.

How the matter was addressed in our audit:

Our key audit procedures included obtaining management’s assessment data which determines the lower of inventory cost and net realizable value; sampling estimated selling prices to the most recent sales records; and assessing the appropriateness of management’s basis for estimating the net realizable value.

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

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the standalone 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 the standalone financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

27

In preparing the standalone 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’s or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalone Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalone 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 generally accepted 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 standalone financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalone 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 standalone 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 standalone financia1 statements, including the disclosures, and whether the standalone financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

28

  1. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the standalone 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 ethica1 requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all re1ationships 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 standalone financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Jen Yao Hsieh and Shu Man Tsai.
