Independent Auditors' Report
To YIEH PHUI ENTERPRISE CO., LTD.:
Audit opinion
We have reviewed the consolidated balance sheets of Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter "the Group") as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, as well as the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, consolidated statements of changes in equity, and consolidated statements of cash flows for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2025 and 2024, as well as the notes to the consolidated financial statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies).
In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of another auditor (please refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and their financial performance and their cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and 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 audit opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards of the Republic of China. Our responsibility under those standards are further described in the section of "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements". We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on the audit conducted by us 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 Group's consolidated financial statements for the year 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We describe the key audit matters in the audit of the the Group's consolidated financial statements for 2025 as follows:
I. Recognition of Sales Revenue
For the accounting policies on revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4(22) to the consolidated financial statements; for significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions, please refer to Note 5(1)1.; and for details of revenue recognition, please refer to Note 6(30).
— 4 —
Description of Key Audit Matter:
The principal business activities of the Group include steel rolling, steelmaking, structural steel, steel wire, iron wire, metal coating, painted metal, surface-treated metal processing, as well as domestic and export sales and import/export operations. Among these, revenue from the steel products segment accounts for nearly 90% of the Group's annual operating revenue. Revenue recognition is presumed to involve significant risk, is subject to fluctuations due to changes in market demand, and is a matter of focus for financial statement users. Accordingly, we identified the occurrence of sales revenue in the steel products segment as a key audit matter.
Corresponding Audit Procedures:
(I) Obtained an understanding of, and tested, the internal controls relevant to the occurrence of customer sales revenue.
(II) Obtained detailed listings of steel product sales revenue, selected samples, inspected shipping documents, and verified whether the collection counterparties and amounts were consistent with the recorded sales counterparties and recognized revenue amounts to confirm the occurrence of sales revenue.
II. Inventory Valuation
For the accounting policies on inventory valuation, please refer to Note 4(8); for significant accounting estimates and uncertainties, please refer to Note 5(2)7.; and for details of inventory valuation, please refer to Note 6(6).
Description of Key Audit Matter:
As of December 31, 2025, the Group's inventory amounted to NT$9,638,454 thousand, representing 9.68% of total assets. Inventory is measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. As the estimation of net realizable value involves significant judgment and estimation, and is highly sensitive to fluctuations in international metal prices, we identified inventory valuation as a key audit matter.
Corresponding Audit Procedures:
Our principal audit procedures included obtaining management's assessment of the lower of cost and net realizable value, testing estimated selling prices against recent sales records, and evaluating the basis and reasonableness of management's estimation of net realizable value.
Others Matters
Certain investees accounted for using the equity method included in the consolidated financial statements were audited by other auditors. Accordingly, our opinion on the consolidated financial statements, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for these investees, is based on the audit reports of the other auditors. Therefore, in our opinion on the above-mentioned consolidated financial statements, the amounts listed in the financial statements of these affiliated companies are based on the audit reports of other auditors (in which the Group adjusted the accounting policies for investment properties to use the fair value method, a change we have reviewed and completed). As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the carrying amounts of investments accounted for using the equity method in these investees (prior to fair value adjustments of investment properties) were NT$3,305,664 thousand and NT$3,788,831 thousand, representing 3.32% and 3.74% of total assets, respectively. For the years ended 2025 and 2024, the Group's share of profit or loss and other comprehensive income of these associates and joint ventures totaled NT$(483,167) thousand and NT$(244,675) thousand, representing 11.15% and 19.39% of total comprehensive income, respectively.
Yieh Phui Enterprise Co., Ltd. has also prepared parent company only financial statements for the years ended 2025 and 2024, on which we have issued unmodified audit opinions with an Other Matter paragraph, for reference.

Responsibilities of the management and the governing body 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 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 and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Group in continuing as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and adopting the going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Group or cease the operations without other viable alternatives.
The Group's governing bodies (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatements arising from fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditors' report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards will always detect a significant misstatement when it exists. Misstatements may arise from frauds or errors. If the amounts of misstatements, either separately or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of the consolidated financial statements, they are considered material.
We have utilized our professional judgment and professional skepticism when performing the audit work in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China. We also performed the following tasks:
I. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatements arising from fraud or error within the consolidated financial statements; design and execute countermeasures in response to said risks, and obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to provide a basis of our opinion. Fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Therefore, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the one resulting from error.
II. We have acquired the necessary understanding that concerns this audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures for applicable circumstances. However, the aim was not to comment on the effectiveness of the Group's internal controls.
III. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by management.
IV. We have made conclusions on the appropriateness of the management's adoption of the going concern basis of accounting based on the audit evidence obtained and whether a material uncertainty exists for events or conditions that may cast significant doubt over the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we are of the opinion that a material uncertainty exists, we shall remind users of the consolidated financial statements to pay attention to relevant disclosures in said statements within our audit report. If such disclosures are inadequate, we need to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
— 4-2 —
V. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the consolidated financial statements adequately present the relevant transactions and events.
VI. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence concerning the financial information of entities within the Group, to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and review of the work performed by engagement team members, and for forming the Group audit opinion.
The matters communicated between us and the governing body include the planned scope and times of the audit and significant audit findings (including any significant deficiencies in internal control identified during the 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.
We determined the key audit matters in the 2025 consolidated financial reports of the Group from the matters communicated with the governance unit. We describe these matters in our auditor's 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 the report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

(1) Clarify and add the further guidance on whether financial assets meet the criteria of solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI), with the scope including contractual terms changing the cash flow based on contingent events (such as the interest rate linked to ESG objectives), instruments without recourse characteristics, and contract-linked instruments.
(2) Add that for some instruments with contractual terms that may change the cash flow (such as some instruments with characteristics related to ESG objectives), the qualitative description of contingent event nature, quantitative information on the range of changes from cash flows possibly generated from such contractual terms, and the total book value of financial assets and the amortized cost of financial liabilities under these contractual clauses shall be disclosed.
(3) Clarify the dates of recognition and derecognition of certain financial assets and liabilities, and add that entity is permitted to deem the financial liabilities (or part of financial liabilities) released when and only when the entity initiates the payment instruction and results the following circumstance against the backdrop where the financial liabilities are settled in cash by using electronic payment system:
A. The entity does not have the ability to cancel, cease or cancel payment.
B. The entity has no actual ability to obtain the cash for settlement due to the payment instruction.
C. The settlement risk related to the electronic payment system is not significant.
(4) Updated that the equity instrument measured at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI) designated through an irrevocable option shall be disclosed with its fair value by category, but not each underlying equity. In addition, the amount of fair value profit or loss recognized in other comprehensive income in the reporting period shall be disclosed by being listed separately in the amount of fair value profit or loss related to the investment derecognized in the reporting period, and the amount of fair value profit or loss related to the investment held as of the reporting date; and the cumulative profit or loss of the derecognized from investment in the reporting period but transferred to the equity in the reporting period.
- Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7, "Contracts Referencing Nature-dependent Electricity"
The follows describe the amendments for contracts that expose an entity to variability in the underlying amount of electricity because the source of its generation depends on uncontrollable natural conditions (such as the weather)
(1) Clarify the application of the "own use" requirement in the contract for the purchase or sale of natural electricity by an entity:
When the contract specifies that the entity has the obligation to purchase and receive electricity during generation, and the design and operation of the electricity trading market requires the entity to sell any volume of unused electricity within the prescribed time, the entity must take the reasonable and supportive information on the past, present and expected future electricity transactions within a reasonable period of time of no more than 12 months into account. When the entity purchases sufficient electricity to offset any unused electricity sold in the same market, it is a net purchaser of electricity.
Add the application amendment that an own use contract involving natural electricity, is required to disclose:
A. The entity is facing the risk of variation of underlying electricity, and to be required to purchase electricity during the delivery interval when it is impossible to use the electricity;
B. Unrecognized contractual commitments, including the expected future cash flow from the purchases based on these contracts;
C. Impact from the contract on the entity's financial performance during the reporting period.
(2) Clarify how to apply hedge accounting for contract referencing nature-dependent electricity designated as a hedge instrument:
It is permitted the designation of a variable nominal amount of expected purchases and sales as a hedged item, and the amount is identical to the variable amount delivered from the expected generation facility mentioned in the hedge instrument. In addition, in the cash flow hedge relationship, when the cash flow entity as a hedge instrument, if a contract referencing nature-dependent electricity is used to hedge cash flows on the condition of occurring designated expected electricity transaction, the expected transaction is construed to be very likely to occur.
For entities designating contracts referencing nature-dependent electricity as hedge instruments, the terms and conditions thereof shall be disclosed as the hedge instruments categorized by risk categories specified in IFRS 7.
The Group has assessed that the standards and interpretations above have no significant impact on the financial position and financial performance of the Group.
(III) Effect of IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
The table below summarizes the new, revised, and amended standards and interpretations of the IFRSs, issued by the IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC:
| New/Revised/Amended Standards and Interpretations | Effective Date Issued by IASB |
|---|---|
| Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 "Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture" | To be determined by IASB |
| IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements" | January 1, 2027 (Note) |
| IFRS 19 'Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures' | January 1 2027 |
| Amendments to IAS 21 "Translation to a Hyperinflationary Currency" | January 1 2027 |
Note: In a press release dated September 25, 2025, the FSC announced that IFRS 18 became applicable to public companies from 2028 onwards; in addition, companies may apply IFRS 18 earlier if the FSC approves its use.
- Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 "Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture"
The amendment resolves the existing inconsistency between IFRS 10 and IAS 28. For the sale (investment) of assets by investors and their associates or joint ventures, all or part of the gains or losses on disposal should be recognized depending on the nature of the assets traded.
(1) When the sale (investment) of assets is qualified as "business," all profit and loss from disposal is recognized;
(2) When the sale (investment) of assets is not qualified as "business," only the profit and loss from disposal within the equity of the non-related investor in associates or joint ventures may be recognized.
- IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosures of Financial Statements"
IFRS 18 "Financial Statements Presentation and Disclosure" replaces IAS 1 and updates the structure of the Income Statement, adds management performance measurement disclosures and strengthens the principle of aggregation and disaggregation applied to key financial statements and notes.
- IFRS 19 "Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures"
This Standard permits qualified subsidiaries to apply IFRS accounting standards reducing the disclosure requirements.
- Amendments to IAS 21 "Translation to a Hyperinflationary Currency"
This amendment specifies that, when translating from a functional currency of a non-hyperinflationary economy to a presentation currency of a hyperinflationary economy, all amounts (including comparative amounts) shall be translated using the closing exchange rate at the date of the most recent statement of financial position. This amendment also includes an exception whereby entities whose functional currency and presentation currency are both currencies of hyperinflationary economies, and whose foreign operations have a functional currency of a non-hyperinflationary economy, are exempt from restating comparative amounts. In addition, new disclosure requirements have been introduced, including the translation method applied and summarized financial information of the foreign operations to which such method is applied.
As of the date of release of these consolidated financial statements, the Group continues to evaluate the impact of the above standards and interpretations on the Group's financial position and financial performance, and the relevant impact will be disclosed when the evaluation is completed.

(IV) Foreign currency translation
-
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the "functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company's functional and the Group's presentation currency.
-
Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. On the closing date of the Report, monetary items in foreign currency shall be re-translated at the spot exchange rate on the same day, and the exchange difference derived therefor shall be recognized as the current income. Non-monetary items measured at fair value that are denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at the date when the fair value was determined. Exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items are included in profit or loss for the year except for exchange differences arising on the retranslation of non-monetary items in respect of which gains and losses are recognized directly in other comprehensive income, in which case, the exchange differences are also recognized directly in other comprehensive income. Non-monetary items that are measured in terms of historical cost in foreign currencies are not retranslated.
-
For the purposes of presenting consolidated financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Corporation's foreign operations are translated into New Taiwan Dollars using exchange rates prevailing at the end of each reporting period. Income and expenses items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. Exchange difference arising, if any, are recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in equity of exchange differences translating from foreign operation's financial statements (attributed to non- controlling interest as appropriate).
(V) Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities
- Steel product division and other non-heavy industry divisions:
(1) Assets that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current assets:
A. Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
B. Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
C. Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period.
D. Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
The Group classified any assets which do not meet said conditions into non-current assets.
(2) Liabilities that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current liabilities:
A. Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;
B. Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
C. Those must be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date. (They will be current liabilities even if an agreement is reached for long-term refinance or payment rearrangement after the balance sheet date and before financial statements are approved for release.)
D. It does not have the right at the end of the reporting period to defer settlement of the liability at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
The Group classified any liabilities which do not meet said conditions into non-current liabilities.
- Heavy industry division:
The business cycle of the majority of our construction contracts is 12 months. Assets and liabilities related to the construction contracts are classified as current or non-current assets and liabilities according to the business cycle.
(VI) Cash and Cash Equivalents
Cash and cash equivalents include cash on hand, bank deposits and highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of change in value. (Including demand deposits matured within three months.)
(VII) Financial Instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group become a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- Financial assets
Conventional transactions of financial assets are recognized and derecognized by trade date accounting.
(1) Measurement types
The types of financial assets held by the Group are financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets measured by amortized cost, and equity instrument investments measured by fair value through other consolidated profit or loss.
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss are those mandatorily measured at fair value through profit or loss. Financial assets mandatorily at fair value through profit or loss include investments in equity instruments not designated by the Group to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and investments in debt instruments that do not qualify as either at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income.
— 19 —
Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value. Dividends and interest arising therefrom are recognized in other income, while gains or losses arising from remeasurement are recognized in other gains and losses. Please refer to Note 12(3) for the methods of determining fair values.
B. Financial assets at amortized cost
If the Group's investment financial assets meet the both of the criteria below at the same time, they are classified as financial assets at amortized cost:
(a) Financial assets held under the operational model for the purpose of collecting cash flow from contracts; and
(b) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise, on specified dates, to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
After initial recognition, such assets are measured at the amortized cost of the total carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss, and any exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.
Except for the two circumstances below, interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the gross carrying amount of a financial asset.
(a) For a credit-impaired financial asset purchased or created, interest income is calculated by multiplying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate by the amortized cost of the financial asset.
(b) For a financial asset purchased or created that is not credit-impaired but becomes credit-impaired subsequently, the interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the amortized cost of the financial asset.
C. Equity instrument investments measured by fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss.
When initially recognized, the Group can make an irrevocable choice to designate equity instrument investments held not for trading, not recognized by M&A parties, or with consideration to be measured by fair value through other consolidated profit or loss.
As these equity instrument investments are measured by fair value through other consolidated profit or loss, subsequent fair value changes should be recognized as other consolidated profit or loss and accumulated as other equity. When disposing an investment, its accumulated profit or loss will directly be transferred to retained earnings and not be reclassified as profit or loss.
Dividends from equity instrument investments measured by fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss will be recognized as profit or loss when the receiving right is established unless the dividends clearly represent partial return of investment costs.
(2) Impairment of financial assets
A. The Group assesses the impairment loss of financial assets measured at amortized cost (including accounts receivable), investments in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, and lease receivables and contract assets as per expected credit losses at each balance sheet date.
B. Allowance for losses on accounts receivable and contract assets is recognized based on lifetime expected credit losses. Other financial assets are first assessed based on whether the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition. If there is no significant increase in the risk, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs. If the risks
- 20 -
have increased significantly, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to ECLs.
C. The ECLs refer to the weighted average credit loss with the risk of default as the weight. The 12-month ECLs represent the ECLs from possible defaults of a financial instrument within 12 months after the reporting date. The lifetime ECLs represent the ECLs from all possible defaults in a financial instrument over the expected life of a financial instrument.
D. The Company recognizes an impairment loss for all financial instruments with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
(3) Derecognition of financial assets
The Group derecognizes a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:
A. The contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset expire.
B. When the majority of the risks and rewards associated with the ownership of the financial asset has been transferred, and the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset are transferred as well.
C. The Company neither retains nor transfers substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset; however, it has not retained control of the financial asset.
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the consideration received is recognized in profit or loss. When derecognizing an investment in equity instrument at FVTOC in its entirety, the cumulative profit or loss is transferred directly to retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit or loss.
- Equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Group are classified as either financial liabilities or as equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Group are recognized at the proceeds received, net of direct issue costs.
- Financial liabilities
(1) Subsequent measurement
All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost in the effective interest method.
(2) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Group derecognizes financial liabilities only when the obligations are discharged, cancelled or expired. Difference between the carrying value and total payments made or payables (including any non-cash assets transferred or liability carried) is recognized as profit or loss when the financial liability is derecognized.
- Modification of financial instruments
When the contractual cash flow of a financial instrument is renegotiated or modified, and the instrument should not be derecognized as a result, the Group recalculates the total carrying amount of the financial asset or the amortized cost of the financial liability by discounting the modified contractual cash flows at the initial effective interest rate and recognizes the modification gains or losses in profit or loss; and recognizes the costs or expenses incurred as an adjustment to the carrying amount of the modified financial instrument and amortizes it over the remaining period after modification. If such a renegotiation or modification results in the derecognition of
— 21 —
the financial instrument, it shall be handled in accordance with the derecognition rules.
(VIII) Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The cost of finished goods and work-in-process comprises raw materials, direct labor, other direct costs and related production overheads (allocated based on normal operating capacity). It excludes borrowing costs. The item-by-item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.
(IX) Investment/affiliate accounted for using the equity method
-
Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. The Group adopts the equity method to treat the investment in associates, which is recognized at cost of acquisition.
-
The Group's share of its associates' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Group's share of losses of an associate equals or exceeds its interest in that associate (including the carrying amount of an investment in an associate determined using the equity method and any long-term equity that substantively constitute part of the Group's net investment in the associate), the Group discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate.
-
Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
-
Where an associate issues new shares, if the Group fails to subscribe for or acquire such shares pro rata, resulting in a change in the ownership percentage, with a significant influence on it retained, the "capital surplus" and "investment under equity method" will be adjusted in response to the increase or decrease of the net value of equity. Where the ownership percentage decreases, in addition to the adjustments above, the gains or losses that are related to the decrease of the ownership interest that has been previously recognized in other comprehensive income, and said gains or losses that must be reclassified to profit or loss when the relevant assets or liabilities are disposed of shall be reclassified to profit or loss in proportion to the decrease.
-
Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss.
-
Where the Group disposes of an associate and if it loses significant influence on the associate, for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income related to the associate, the accounting treatment is on the same basis as if the associate directly disposes of the relevant assets or liabilities. That is, the gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive income will be reclassified to profit or loss when the relevant assets or liabilities are disposed of, so when the significant influence on the associate is lost, the gains or losses will be reclassified from equity to profit or loss. If the Company still has a significant influence on the
— 22 —
associate, only the amount previously recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred out in the manner above on a pro-rata basis.
- When the Group disposes of an affiliate, if the significant influence on the affiliate is lost, the capital reserves related to the affiliate is reclassified to gains and losses; if the Company still has significant influence over the affiliate, the capital surplus will be transferred to profit or loss according to the ratio of the disposal.
(X) Property, plant and equipment
-
Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized. Before property, plant and equipment in progress are ready for intended use, samples produced to test whether such assets can function normally are measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and the selling price and cost are recognized in profit or loss.
-
Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
-
Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. D The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. If expectations for the assets' residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets' future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, 'Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors', from the date of the change. Useful lives of assets
| Buildings | |
|---|---|
| Plant main buildings | 15-70 years |
| Office main buildings | 40-60 years |
| Other affiliated equipments | 5-35 years |
| Machinery and equipment | 2-53 years |
| Other equipment | 2-41 years |
- Property, plant and equipment will be derecognized upon disposal or when future economic benefits cannot be expected from use or disposal. The amount of gains or losses from derecognition of property, plant and equipment is the difference between the net proceeds from disposal and the carrying amount of the asset, and is recognized in the current profit or loss.
(XI) Government grant income
Government grants are recognized at fair value when there is reasonable assurance that the entity will comply with the conditions attached to the grants and that the grants will be received. If the nature of the government grants is to compensate the Group for expenses incurred, such grants are recognized in profit or loss on a systematic basis over the periods in which the related expenses are recognized. Government grants related to property, plant and equipment are recognized as non-current liabilities and are recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of the related assets.
- 23 -
(XII) Leases
At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
- The Group as lessee
Except for leases of low-value underlying assets and short-term leases with expenses recognized on a straight-line basis, the Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the commencement date of all leases.
Right-of-use assets
A right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost (including the initial measured amount of lease liabilities, the amount of lease payments made to the lessor less lease incentives received prior to the inception of a lease, initial direct costs, and the estimated costs of restoring underlying assets), and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.
A right-of-use asset is depreciated on a straight-line basis over the period from the lease commencement date to the end of its useful life, or to the end of the lease term, whichever is earlier. However, if the ownership of the underlying asset will be acquired at the expiration of the lease term, or if the cost of the right-of-use asset represents the execution of the purchase option, the underlying asset will be depreciated from the lease commencement date through the expiration of the useful life of said asset.
Lease liabilities
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of lease payments, including fixed payments, in-substance fixed payments, and variable lease payments which depend on an index or a rate. If the interest rate implicit in a lease can be easily determined, the lease payment is discounted at such an interest rate. If the interest rate cannot be easily determined, the lessee's incremental borrowing rate applies.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at the amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, and interest expense is amortized over the lease term. If changes in the evaluation of the purchase options of an underlying asset, amount expected to be paid under the guaranteed residual value, or index or rate used to determine the lease payment over the lease term lead to changes in future lease payments, the Group remeasure the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets has been reduced to zero, the remaining remeasurement amount is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line the consolidated balance sheets.
Variable lease payments that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as expenses in the period in which they are incurred.
- The Group as lessor
Where almost all the risks and rewards attached to the ownership of an asset are transferred to the lessee under lease terms, such leases are classified as finance leases; otherwise, it is classified as an operating lease.
Under operating leases, lease payments, less lease incentives, are recognized on a straight-line basis. The initial direct cost incurred in obtaining an operating lease is added to the carrying amount of an underlying asset, and is recognized in expenses over the lease term on the same basis adopted for the recognition of lease income.
(XIII) Investment property
Investment properties are those held for earning rents and/or for price appreciation, including properties under construction for these purposes. Investment properties include land held by the Company without any specific future usage. Investment property also includes right-of-use assets that meet the definition of investment property.
— 24 —
Investment property acquired through a lease is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of the lease liability, any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, any initial direct costs, and an estimate of the costs to restore the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease, less any lease incentives received.
All investment property is subsequently measured using the fair value model. Gains or losses arising from changes in fair value are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
The profit or loss of an investment property is recognized by the difference between its net disposal price and its carrying amount.
(XIV) Intangible assets
Separately acquired intangible assets with finite useful lives are carried at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis over the following useful lives: mining rights, 12 years; computer software, 2 to 5 years; trademarks, based on their economic useful lives or contractual periods. The estimated usefully years and amortization method will be reviewed on the closing date of the Report. The same shall apply to effect of any change in estimation.
An intangible asset is derecognized on disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Gains or losses arising from the derecognition of intangible assets are measured as the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset and are recognized in profit or loss.
(XV) Other non-current assets - exploration and evaluation assets
Exploration and evaluation assets are initially measured at cost. Based on the nature of the assets acquired, such assets are classified as either tangible or intangible assets, and this classification is applied consistently. Tangible assets (such as transportation equipment and drilling rigs) are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses; intangible assets (such as mineral exploration rights) are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated impairment losses. Once the technical feasibility and commercial viability of extracting mineral resources are demonstrable, the related exploration and evaluation assets shall no longer be classified as such. Prior to reclassification, the entity shall assess impairment and recognize any impairment loss.
(XVI) Impairment of non-financial assets
At the balance sheet date, the Group evaluates the recoverable amount of assets suffering impairment loss. While the recoverable amount is less than the carrying amount, an impairment loss is recognized in loss. A recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less either its costs of disposal or its value in use. While the circumstance of the impairment losses of assets recognized in the prior year does not exist, the loss is reversed to the extent of the previously recognized impairment loss.
(XVII) Provision for liabilities
Provisions (including warranties, onerous contracts, short-term employee benefits, decommissioning obligations, and carbon fees) are recognized when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, it is probable that an outflow of resources embodying economic benefits will be required to settle the obligation, and the amount can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation at the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognized as interest expense. Provisions are not recognized for future operating losses.
- 25 -
Carbon fees levied in accordance with the Climate Change Response Act of the Republic of China (Taiwan) and its related regulations are not within the scope of IFRIC 21 "Levies" and are instead recognized and measured in accordance with IAS 37 "Provisions, Contingent Liabilities and Contingent Assets." If it is probable that total annual emissions will exceed the threshold, the related carbon fee liability shall be estimated in interim financial reports based on the proportion of emissions incurred to total estimated annual emissions.
(XVIII) Employee benefits
- Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognized as expenses in that period when the employees render service.
- Pension
(1) Defined contribution plans
Regarding the defined contribution plans, the amount of the pension funds that shall be contributed is recognized as the current pension cost on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognized as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
(2) Defined benefit plans
A. The net obligation under the defined benefit plan is calculated by discounting the amount of future benefits earned by employees in the current or past service period, with the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of the plan assets. The net obligation under the defined benefit plan is calculated annually by actuaries using the projected unit benefit method. The discount rate is the market yield rate of government bonds (at the balance sheet date) with the currency and period consistent with those of the defined benefit plan at the balance sheet date.
B. The remeasurement generated by the defined benefit plan is recognized in other comprehensive income in the current period and presented in retained earnings.
C. The relevant expenses of the service costs in the prior period are immediately recognized as profit or loss.
- Employee compensation and directors' and supervisors' remuneration
Employee compensation and directors' and supervisors' remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. However, if the accrued amounts for employee compensation and directors' and supervisors' remuneration are different from the actual distributed amounts as resolved subsequently, it shall be treated as a change in accounting estimates.
- Post-employment benefits
Post-employment benefits are benefits provided when an employee's employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or when the employee decides to accept the benefits offered by the Company in exchange for termination of employment. The Group recognizes such benefits as expenses when it is no longer able to withdraw the offer of post-employment benefits or when the relevant restructuring costs are recognized, whichever is earlier. Benefits that are not expected to be fully settled 12 months after the reporting period shall be discounted.
- 26 -
(XIX) Capital and treasury stock
- Capital
Common stocks are classified to Equities. Additional costs classified directly to issuances of new stocks or costs of options are listed as deducted items in the equities.
- Treasury Stock
The issued stock repurchased by the Group is stated as "treasury stock" at the price of the consideration paid for the repurchase (including directly attributed cost), to be deducted from equity. If the disposal price of treasury stock is higher than the carrying amount, the price difference shall be stated as capital surplus-treasury stock transactions. If the disposal price is lower than the carrying value, the price difference shall first be offset against capital surplus from the same class of treasury stock transactions, and the remainder, if any, should be debited to un-appropriated retained earnings. The carrying amount of treasury stocks is calculated separately according to the class of treasury stock transaction using the weighted average method.
When treasury stock is retired, the treasury stock account is reduced and common stocks as well as the capital surplus - additional paid-in capital are reversed on a pro rata basis. When the carrying value of the treasury stock exceeds the sum of the par value and the excess of the issuance price over the par value, the price difference is charged to capital surplus arising from the same class of treasury stock transaction and to retained earnings for any remaining amount. When the carrying amount is lower than the sum of the par value and the excess of the issuance price over the par value, the price difference is credited to capital surplus arising from the same class of treasury stock transaction.
(XX) Income tax
-
The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.
-
The current income tax charge is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. Undistributed earnings are subject to a surtax per the Income Tax Act of the R.O.C. In the year following the year in which the earnings are generated, after the shareholders' meeting has passed the earnings distribution proposal, income tax expenses based on the actual earnings to be distributed are recognized.
-
Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. If the Group is able to control the timing of reversal of temporary differences arising from investment in subsidiaries and the temporary differences are unlikely to reverse in the near future, the differences will not be recognized. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
-
Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be
— 27 —
utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
-
Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
-
The Corporation adopted tax credit accounting for taxation incentives arising from purchasing equipment and technology, research and development expenditures, personnel training expenses, equity investments, etc.
(XXI) Revenue recognition
The Group's steps of recognizing revenue from customer contracts are as follows:
(1) Identify a customer contract;
(2) Identify the obligations to be fulfilled in the contract;
(3) Determine the transaction price;
(4) Allocate the transaction price to the obligations to be fulfilled in the contract; and
(5) Recognize it as revenue when all obligations are fulfilled.
In the case of contracts where the time interval between the transfer of goods or services and the receipt of the consideration is less than one year, the transaction prices of the material financial components of the contract will not be adjusted.
- Sales revenue
Revenue from the sale of goods is derived from the sale of galvanized steel coils, pre-painted steel coils, steel pipes, electronic materials, and food and beverage services. Sales revenue is recognized when the control of a product is transferred to a customer as the customer already has the right to set the price and use of the product and takes on the main responsibility for resale, and assumes the risk of obsolescence. At such a point in time, the Group recognizes the sales as revenue and accounts receivable, which are presented as a net amount, less sales returns, quantity discounts, and discounts.
When raw materials are transferred out for processing, the control of the ownership of the materials processed has not been transferred, so the income is not recognized when said materials are transferred out.
When another party provides goods or services to the customer, if the Group controls those goods or services before transferring them to the customer, it acts as the principal; otherwise, it acts as the agent. Revenue is recognized as the total amount of consideration expected to be received in exchange for transferring goods or services when acting as a principal; when acting as an agent, any fees or commissions expected to be received in exchange for providing goods or services are recognized as revenue. The Group's fees or commission may be the net amount of consideration, representing the amount retained by the Group after paying the other party for goods or services exchanged.
In a customer loyalty program, customers are granted reward credits for future purchases when they purchase goods. These reward credits provide important rights and are allocated to the transaction price of the reward points, which are recognized as contract liabilities upon receipt and reclassified as revenue when the reward points are redeemed or expire.
— 28 —
- Service revenue
Service revenue is recognized as the services are rendered. Revenue from services provided under contracts is recognized based on the stage of completion of the contract.
-
Revenue from customer lodging is recognized during the reporting period in which the services are provided. Customers pay the contract consideration in accordance with the agreed payment schedule.
-
Construction revenue
For construction contracts in which the customer controls the asset as it is created, the Group recognizes revenue over time. Because the costs incurred are directly related to the progress toward complete satisfaction of the performance obligation, the Group measures progress based on the proportion of actual costs incurred relative to total expected costs. The Group recognizes contract assets over time during the construction process and reclassifies them to accounts receivable when billing occurs. If the consideration received exceeds the amount of revenue recognized, the excess is recognized as a contract liability. Retention amounts withheld by customers under contract terms to ensure the Group's fulfillment of all contractual obligations are recognized as contract assets until the performance obligations are satisfied.
If the outcome of a performance obligation cannot be measured reliably, construction revenue is recognized only to the extent of costs incurred that are expected to be recoverable.
- Rental income, dividend income, and interest income
(1) Rental income is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.
(2) Stock dividend revenue from investment is recognized when the shareholder's right to receive payment is sustained, provided that the economic benefits related to the transaction is very likely to flow into the Group and the amount of revenue may be reliably measured.
(3) Interest income is accrued on a time basis, by reference to the principal outstanding and at the effective interest rate applicable on accrual basis.
(XXII) Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to an acquisition, construction, or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of said assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Where investment revenue is earned from temporary investment using specific borrowings before the occurrence of capital expenditures that meet the requirements, it will be deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Except for the above, all borrowing costs are recognized as profit or loss in the current period.
V. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation and Uncertainty
The Group takes into account the economic impact of climate change and relevant government policies and regulations in its critical accounting estimates and will constantly review the basic assumptions and estimates. If an amendment to estimates only affects the current period, it shall be recognized in the period of said amendment; if an amendment to accounting estimates affects the current year and future periods, it shall be recognized in the period of said amendment and future periods.
The preparation of the Group's consolidated financial statements is adopting accounting policies based on the following significant judgments, significant accounting estimates and assumptions:
— 29 —
(I) Material Judgment When Adopting Accounting Policies
- Revenue recognition
As per IFRS 15, the Group judges whether a customer has obtained or has not obtained control of specific goods or services before transferring specific goods or services to the customer as a principal or an agent in the transaction. If it is judged to be the agent in the transaction, the net transaction amount is recognized as revenue.
In the case of any of the following circumstances, the Group is the principal:
(1) Before the goods or other assets are transferred to a customer, the Group obtains control of said goods or assets from the other party first; or
(2) The Group controls the right to provide services by the other party, hence has the ability to lead the other party to provide services to customers on behalf of the Group; or
(3) The Group obtains control of goods or services from the other party to combine with other goods or services to provide specific products or services to customers.
The indicators used to determine whether the Group controls a specific product or service before transferring it to a customer include (but are not limited to):
(1) The Group assumes primary responsibilities for fulfilling the commitment to provide specific goods or services.
(2) The Group assumes inventory risks before delivering specific goods or services to the customer.
(3) The Group has the discretion to set the price.
- During the lease term
When deciding on a lease term, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances that lead to economic incentives to execute (or not execute) the option, including the expected changes in all facts and circumstances from the commencement date to the date the option is executed. The factors considered include the terms and conditions of a contract during the term covered by the option, material leasehold improvements made (or expected) during the lease term, and the importance of the underlying assets to the Group's operations, etc. When a material event takes place or situation changes significantly within the scope of the Group's control, the lease term is reassessed.
(II) Significant Accounting Estimates and Assumptions
- Estimated Impairment of Financial Assets
The estimated impairment of accounts receivable is based on the Group's assumptions on default rate and expected loss rate. The Group makes assumptions and selects inputs for estimating impairment by taking into account past experience, current market situation and forward-looking information. If the actual future cash flow is lower than expected, it is possible to bring material impairment loss.
- Fair value measurement and valuation process
When there is no quoted market price for assets and liabilities measured at fair value, the Group decides whether to appoint a third party to appraise the value and decide the appropriate fair value valuation technique in accordance with relevant laws and regulations or as per its judgment.
When Level 1 inputs are not available, the Group determines fair value by referring to analyses of the investee's financial position and operating results, recent transaction prices, quoted prices for identical equity instruments in inactive markets, quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, and valuation multiples of comparable companies. For derivative instruments, inputs are determined with reference to market prices, interest rates, and the characteristics of the derivatives. If actual changes in inputs differ from expectations, changes in fair value may arise. The
— 30 —
Group updates these inputs on a regular basis based on market conditions to monitor the appropriateness of fair value measurements.
- Impairment of Tangible Assets and Intangible Assets
During the assessment of asset impairment, the Group relies on subjective judgment and determines separate cash flows, useful lives, and future possible income and losses from specific asset group because any shift of economy or change of estimate due to business strategy could cause material impairment.
- Evaluation of Impairment Loss Using the Equity Method
While there is any indication that an investment using the equity method may have an impairment loss so that the carrying amount cannot be recovered, the Group will evaluate immediately the impairment loss of the investment. The Group evaluates collectible amount based on the present discounted value of the investee's projected cash flow or the present discounted value of cash flow to be generated from cash dividend expected to be received and disposal of investment, and analyze the reasonability of related hypotheses.
- Investment property
As investment property is subsequently measured at fair value, the Group's investment properties primarily comprise land and buildings. Accordingly, independent appraisers are engaged to determine the fair value of investment property at the end of the reporting period using their professional judgment and estimates. The Group adjusts the carrying amount of investment property to fair value based on the appraisal reports issued by the independent appraisers. The valuation of investment property is primarily based on the appraisers' reports. Accordingly, changes in factors such as product demand, real estate market conditions, and the appraisers' judgments and estimates in future periods may affect the measurement of fair value.
- Evaluation of the Reliability of Deferred Income Tax Assets
Deferred income tax assets are only recognized to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits for deductible temporary differences. While evaluating the reliability of deferred income tax assets, it is necessary to involve assumptions of management's significant accounting judgment and estimation, including expectation of the growth of the future sales revenue, the period of the tax exemption, the deductible income tax, and tax planning. Any changes in the global environment of economy, industrial environments, laws and regulations are possible to cause significant adjustments of deferred income tax assets.
- Valuation of Inventories
Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and the Group uses judgment and estimates to determine the net realizable value of inventories on the balance sheet date. The Group evaluates the amount of inventories with normal wear and tear, obsolescence, and no market value and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realizable value.
- Calculation of net defined benefit liabilities
To calculate the present value of the defined benefit obligation, the Group uses its judgments and estimates to determine related actuarial assumptions at the balance sheet date, including discount rate, future salary increase, etc. Any change in actuarial assumptions may significantly affect the amount of defined benefit obligation.
- Lessee's incremental borrowing rate
When determining the lessee's incremental borrowing rate for discounting lease payments, the risk-free interest rate in the same currency in the relevant periods is adopted as the benchmark rate, and the estimated lessee's credit risk discount and lease-specific adjustments (factors, such as asset specificity and collateral provided) are taken into consideration.

-
For the accounts receivable generated from the sale of goods, the average credit period for the sales of carbon steel products is 30-60 days, but the interest calculation can be deferred by both parties; the average credit period for the sales of stainless steel products is 7 days-26 days; the engineering department collects the payment deadline according to the contract; the average credit period for other departments is 60-90 days, which is based on the credit standard set by the counterparty's industrial characteristics, business scale and profitability.
-
For the information on collateral with accounts receivable of the Group, please refer to the descriptions in Note 8.
-
The Group sold part of its accounts receivable to banks without right of recourse. The Group has transferred almost all the risks and rewards of the accounts receivable at the time of sale, and therefore has been removed from the balance sheet. Please refer to Note XII(IV) for details.
-
The Group adopts the simplified approach of IFRS 9 to recognize the loss allowance for notes and accounts receivable based on lifetime expected credit losses. The lifetime ECLs are calculated using a provision matrix, which takes into account customers' past default records, current financial position, economic trends in their industries, and other forward-looking information. Based on the Group's history of credit losses, as there was no significant difference in the loss patterns among different customer groups, the customer groups were not further differentiated in the provision matrix, and only ECLs rate was set based on the number of days for which accounts receivable was past due.
If there is evidence that the counterparty is facing serious financial difficulties and the Group cannot reasonably expect to recover the amount, the Group will directly write off the relevant claims, but will continue the recourses, and the amount recovered will be recognized in profit or loss.
The Group measures the loss allowance for notes and accounts receivable (including related parties) based on the provision matrix as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | ECLs | Total carrying amount | Allowance for losses (lifetime ECLs) | At amortized cost |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Not past due | 0%-0.5% | $ 3,040,726 | $ (4,854) | $ 3,035,872 |
| December 31, 2024 | ECLs | Total carrying amount | Allowance for losses (lifetime ECLs) | At amortized cost |
| Not past due | 0%-0.5% | $ 4,259,726 | $ (4,502) | $ 4,255,224 |
(1) Changes in the allowance for losses on notes and accounts receivable (including related parties) are as follows:
| Item | 2025 | 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Beginning balance | $ 4,502 | $ 5,417 |
| Less: Reversal of impairment loss | - | (930) |
| Plu: Reversal of writing-off for the curren period | - | 24 |
| Effect of foreign currency exchange difference | 352 | (9) |
| Ending balance | $ 4,854 | $ 4,502 |
(2) Please refer to Note 6(29) for the statement of changes in allowance for loss of contract assets.
The other credit enhancements held have been considered in the above amounts. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, other credit enhancements (such as bank acceptances and letters of credit) amounted to NT$2,285,936 thousand and NT$3,260,579 thousand, respectively.

In June 2015, the U.S. Department of Commerce initiated an anti-dumping investigation on corrosion-resistant steel products from Taiwan and other countries. After completing all investigation procedures in July 2016, it officially announced the provisional dumping margins for corrosion-resistant products produced and sold by Taiwanese companies. It also notified Customs to impose provisional anti-dumping duties on the group's products sold to the U.S. upon entry. The U.S.A. adopts a retrospective system for levying anti-dumping duties. If the provisional tax rate paid is higher than the final tax rate, the difference is recognized as security deposit; otherwise, it is recognized as other payables.
In response to the results of the aforementioned investigation, the Group believed that there were disputes. Therefore, in August 2016, it filed an appeal with the court. After years of litigation, on February 14, 2022, the Department of Commerce (DOC) followed the court's judgment and resubmitted the review results to the Court of International Trade (CIT). The review results showed that the Group's tax rate was 1.2% (less than 2% de minimis, meaning it is considered negligible) and it was explicitly stated that if the court upheld the review results, the Group should be excluded from the aforementioned anti-dumping order. According to the final judgment of the Court of International Trade (CIT) dated June 23, 2023, CIT upheld the termination of the aforementioned anti-dumping investigation and excluded the Group from the aforementioned anti-dumping orders. In August 2023, the DOC had announced the amendment to the final decision of the CIT investigation and revoked the anti-dumping duty order against the Company in accordance with the aforementioned CIT decision. Anti-corrosion products have been subject to anti-dumping duties in the U.S. in September 2023, and refund of unsettled taxes from previous years.
Based on this, the Group has estimated a reversal of anti-dumping duty difference of NT$70,411 thousand (including the provision for guarantee deposits and other payables), and an anti-dumping duty payment of NT$346,360 thousand not settled at the original provisional tax rate starting from the fourth year of the investigation to December 31, 2023, totaling NT$416,771 thousand to be reversed (for the year 2024, respectively recorded as a reduction of selling expenses of NT$46,450 thousand, other income of NT$375,862 thousand, and foreign exchange loss of NT$5,541 thousand). The
— 34 —
aforementioned anti-dumping duty payment starting from the fourth year of the investigation, as of September 30, 2025 and 2024, should increase the refund of anti-dumping duty by NT$0 and NT$22,075 thousand, respectively (recorded as other income).

- In 2025 and 2024, the Group recognized inventory write-down losses (reversal of write-downs) of NT$56,052 thousand and NT$93,859 thousand, respectively, due to inventory being written down to net realizable value or because market conditions improved and prices of certain products increased, resulting in a recovery in net realizable value.
- As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Group had not pledged any inventories as collateral.

(XXII) Pension
- Defined contribution plans
(1) The Company adopted a pension system under the Labor Pension Act (LPA), which is a state-managed defined contribution plan. Under the LPA, the Company makes monthly contributions to employees' individual pension accounts at 6% of monthly salaries and wages; the subsidiaries outside the ROC have participated in the defined contribution plan managed by the local government and make monthly contributions to the local government as pension funds.
(2) The pension expenses recognized by the Group for 2025 and 2024 were NT$193,544 thousand and NT$190,041 thousand, respectively.
- Defined benefit plans
(1) The Group's domestic companies participate in the retirement pension plan under Taiwan's Labor Standards Act, which is classified as a government-managed defined benefit plan. Pension benefits are calculated based on an employee's years of service and the average monthly salary for the six months prior to the approved retirement date. The Group contributes an amount equal to 6%-10% of employees' monthly salaries to the employees' retirement fund, which is deposited into a dedicated account with the Bank of Taiwan under the name of the Labor Retirement Fund Supervisory Committee.
If, before the end of each year, the balance in the account is estimated to be insufficient to cover the payments for employees expected to qualify for retirement within the following year, the Group is required to make a supplemental contribution for the shortfall by the end of March of the following year. The account is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor, and the Group does not have the right to influence the investment management strategy.
(2) The amounts of the Group's obligations arising from the defined benefit plans recognized in the consolidated balance sheet are as follows:
| Item | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |

(4) The Group is exposed to the risks below due to the pension system under the Labor Standards Act:
A. Investment risk
The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor, manages the Labor Retirement Fund through both direct investment and entrusted management. The fund is invested in domestic and foreign equity securities, debt securities, and bank deposits. However, the portion of the plan assets allocable to the Group is based on a return rate not lower than the local two-year time deposit interest rate.
B. Interest rate risk
A decrease in the interest rate of government bonds will increase the present value of defined benefit obligations, but the return on investment of plan assets in bonds will also increase, and the two will be partially offset each other for the net defined benefit liabilities.
C. Salary risk
The calculation of the present value of the defined benefit obligations is based on the future salary of the members in the plan. Therefore, the increase in the salary of the members in the plan will lead to an increase in the present value of the defined benefit obligations.
(5) The present value of the Group's defined benefit obligations is calculated by a qualified actuary. The critical assumptions at the measurement date are listed as follows:
| Item | Measurement date | |
|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
| Discount rate | 1.3%~1.35% | 1.60% |
| Future salary increase rate | 2.00% | 2.00% |
| Average duration of defined benefit obligations | 5.9-7 years | 6-7 years |
A. The assumptions for the future mortality rate are based on the Taiwan Life Insurance Life Table No. 6.
B. Where the major actuarial assumptions are subject to reasonably possible changes, with all other assumptions held constant, the amount of increase (decrease) in the present value of the defined benefit obligations is as follows:
| Item | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| Discount rate | ||
| Increase by 0.25% | $ (19,957) | $ (22,762) |
| Decrease by 0.25% | $ 20,470 | $ 23,365 |
| Expected salary increase percentage | ||
| Increase by 0.25% | $ 20,630 | $ 23,255 |
| Decrease by 0.25% | $ (20,194) | $ (22,744) |
As actuarial assumptions may be related to each other, it quite unlikely for only one single assumption to undergo changes, so the sensitivity analysis above may not reflect the actual changes in the present value of the defined benefit obligations.
(6) The expected contribution in 2025 to the Group's pension plan is NT$120 thousand.
(XXIII) Share Capital

| Total | $ 4,389,944 | $ 4,675,737 |
Under the Securities and Exchange Act, capital surplus of additional paid-in capital and gifts of assets donated may be used for offsetting deficit. Furthermore, if the Company has no accumulated loss, capital surplus may be used for issuing new shares or distributing cash in proportion to shareholders' original holdings. In accordance with regulations in the Securities and Exchange Act, when the above-mentioned capital surplus is used for capitalization, the total amount every year shall not exceed $10\%$ of paid-in capital. The Company may use capital surplus to offset loss only when the amount of earnings and reserves are insufficient to offset the loss. The capital surplus generated from investment under equity method shall not be used for any purposes.
(XXV) Retained earnings
- The Company is in the mature stage of its industry lifecycle. The dividend policy aligns with current and future development plans, considering the investment environment, capital requirements and domestic and international competition, while also taking into account shareholders' interests. Each year, no less than $20\%$ of distributable earnings are allocated for shareholder dividends. However, if the accumulated distributable earnings are less than $20\%$ of the paid-in capital, dividends may not be distributed. Assess the capital requirement based on the expansion plan and profitability. In principle, stock dividends are distributed to retain the required capital. Cash dividends are distributed, depending on the profitability, between $20\%$ and $100\%$ of the total dividends. Stock dividends are distributed between $0\%$ and $80\%$ of the total dividends.
For each fiscal year's earnings, after paying all taxes and covering past losses, the Company allocates $10\%$ of the remaining earnings as legal reserve. Additionally, special reserves may be allocated or reversed as required by operations or regulations. The sum of these amounts, along with the undistributed earnings from previous years, constitutes the distributable earnings. The Board of Directors drafts a proposal for the distribution of these earnings. If the distribution is to be made by issuing new shares, it requires approval by the shareholders' meeting.
When legally allocating special reserves, the Company must first allocate from the undistributed earnings of previous years an amount equal to the "net increase in fair value of investment properties accumulated from previous periods" and the "net amount of other equity deductions accumulated from previous periods" that were insufficiently allocated. If there is still a shortfall, the Company must allocate the same amount from the current period's net profit, including items added to the undistributed earnings for the current period, before distributing the earnings.
-
The legal reserve shall not be used except for compensation of the Company's deficit and issue of new shares or cash in proportion to the shareholders' original shareholdings. However, in the case of issue of new shares or cash, it shall be limited to the portion of the legal reserve in excess of 25% of the paid-in capital.

XII. Others
(I) Capital risk management
The Group has to maintain sufficient capital to cover expansion and upgrade of factory premises and equipments. Therefore, the Group's capital management intends to ensure the necessary financing resources and operating plan to cover the working fund, capital expenditure, R&D, settlement of obligation and expenditure of stock dividend for next 12 months
(II) Financial instruments
- Financial risk of financial instruments
The Group's daily operation is affected by a number of financial risks, including market risk (including exchange rate risk, interest rate risk, and price risk), credit risk, and liquidity risk. In order to mitigate the relevant financial risks, the Group is dedicated to identifying, evaluating and evading uncertainty in market and to mitigating the potential adverse effect brought by changes in the market to the Company's financial performance.
The Group's significant financial activities are reviewed and approved by the Board of Directors in accordance with the relevant regulations and internal control system. The Group must abide by the relevant financial procedures on the overall financial risk management and division of responsibilities throughout the implementation of the financial plan.
(1) Nature and extent of significant financial risk
A. Market risk
(A) Exchange rate risk
The Group was exposed to foreign exposure risk driven from sales, purchase and loan dominated in non-functional currencies. The functional currency of the Group is mainly NTD, and also includes RMB, USD, and EUR. Currencies used for business transactions included RMB and USD. To avoid decreasing value of foreign assets and future cash flow fluctuation brought by foreign currencies, the Group adopted foreign borrowing and derivative instruments to hedge foreign currency
- 76 -
risks. The use of such derivative financial instruments helps reduce but not completely eliminate the impact of changes in foreign exchange rates.
As the net investment in overseas business operation institutions is a strategic investment. Therefore, the Group does not hedge risk for it.

While all other variables remain unchanged, if the NTD appreciates against the above-mentioned currency, the amounts denominated in this currency as at December 31, 2025 and 2024 will be affected equally but reversely.
Note: These are foreign currency-denominated amounts for each consolidated entity in a non-functional currency, including items already eliminated in the consolidated financial statements for inter-group transactions and exchange rate risk that cannot be fully eliminated.
b. The aggregate amount of all exchange gains and losses (including realized and unrealized) recognized in 2025 and 2024 due to exchange
rate fluctuations on the monetary items of the Group were NT$(150,298) thousand and NT$385,312 thousand, respectively.
(B) Price risk
As the securities investments held by the Group are classified in the consolidated balance sheet as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss or financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, the Group is exposed to securities price risk.
The Group mainly invests in the stocks and beneficiary certificates of domestic (non) listed companies, and the prices of these securities will be affected by the uncertainty of the future value of the investment objects.
When the security price goes up or down 1%, the after-tax profit or loss would increase or decrease by NT$1,118 and NT$788 in 2025 and 2024 as the fair value used for measuring financial assets through profit or loss increases or decreases. The after-tax comprehensive income would increase or decrease by NT$23,749 and NT$12,469 in 2025 and 2024 as the fair value used for measuring financial assets through other comprehensive income increases or decreases.
(C) Interest rate risk
The book value of financial assets and financial liabilities exposed to the interest rate risk on the date of reporting of the Group is as follows:
| Item | Carrying Amount | |
|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
| Interest rate risk with fair value: | ||
| Financial assets | $ 2,578,438 | $ 3,565,597 |
| Financial liabilities | (1,232,199) | (1,503,131) |
| Net amount | $ 1,346,239 | $ 2,062,466 |
| Interest rate risk with cash flow: | ||
| Financial assets | $ 7,360,107 | $ 7,218,223 |
| Financial liabilities | (59,422,002) | (54,085,705) |
| Net amount | $ (52,061,895) | $ (46,867,482) |
a. Sensitivity analysis of fair value interest rate risk
The Group has not classified any fixed-rate financial assets and liabilities as financial assets measured at fair value through profit or loss or at fair value through other comprehensive income. Additionally, the Group has not designated derivative instruments (interest rate swaps) as hedging instruments under the fair value hedge accounting model. Therefore, the fluctuation in interest rate on reporting date will not affect the income and other comprehensive income.
b. Sensitivity analysis of cash flow interest rate risk
The Group's financial instruments with variable interest rates are assets (debt) with floating interest rates. Therefore, changes in market interest rates will cause changes in the effective interest rate, resulting in fluctuations in future cash flow. Every 1% decrease (increase) of market interest rates would increase (decrease) annual net profit by NT$(520,619) and NT$(468,675) in 2025 and 2024, respectively.
B. Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the breach of contractual obligations by the counterparty with the risk of financial loss resulted to the Group. The Group's
credit risk primarily arises from the accounts receivable from operating activities and the bank deposit and other financial instruments from investing activities. The operations-related credit risk and credit risk are managed separately.
Credit risk related to operation
In order to maintain the quality of accounts receivable, the Group has established the SOP for management of the credit risk over operation.
The risk evaluation on individual customers will take into consideration such factors likely to affect the customers' solvency as the customers' financial status, internal credit rating by the Group, historical trading record and current economic status.
Financial credit risk
The credit risk of bank deposits and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Group's Finance Department. Most of the trading counterparts and contract parties of the Group are renowned banks and other financial organizations, corporations and government entities capable of investment, whose performance ability is unquestionable. Therefore, no material credit risk is expected to arise. In addition, the Group does not classify investments in debt instruments measured at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income.
(A) Credit concentration risk
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the balance of accounts receivable from the top ten customers accounted for 54.91% and 50.88%, and the credit concentration risk of the remaining accounts receivable is relatively insignificant.
(B) Measurement of expected credit impairment loss
a. Accounts receivable and contract assets: The simplified method is adopted. Please refer to Note 6(4) and 6(29)
b. The basis for judging whether the credit risk has increased significantly: None. In addition, the Group does not classify investments in debt instruments measured at amortized cost and at fair value through other comprehensive income.
c. Holding collateral and other credit enhancements to hedge the credit risk of financial assets:
The financial impact of the financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheet and the collateral held by the Group as security, the general agreements on net settlements, and other credit enhancements related to the maximum credit risk exposure is shown in the table below:
| December 31, 2025 | Carrying Amount | Amount of reduction in the maximum credit risk exposure | |||

C. Liquidity risk:
(A) General:
The Group's liquidity risk management is intended to maintain the cash and cash equivalent needed by operation, high-liquidity securities and sufficient bank facilities, to ensure the Group's financial flexibility.
(B) The following refers to the analysis about financial liabilities due within agreed time limit by the Group summarized by maturity date and undiscounted due amount:

(III) Information on fair value:
-
For information on the fair value of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value, please refer to Note 12(3)3; for information on the fair value of investments in associates with quoted market prices, please refer to Note 6(10).
-
The definitions of the three levels of fair values
Level 1:
Input of this level is open quotations of similar instruments in an active market where an instrument is in. An active market is a market that meets all of the following conditions: goods trading in the market are homogeneous; parties willing to buy and sell the goods can be found any time in the market; price information is available to the public. The fair values of the Group's investments in listed stocks and beneficiary certificates fall in this category.
Level 2:
Input of this level is observable prices other than open quotations in the active market, including inputs observed directly, such as prices and indirectly, such as deduction from prices.
Level 3:
Level 3 inputs are those, when measured by fair value, the input parameters are not observable inputs available in the market. The Group's investments in equity instruments without active markets and investment properties fall within this category.
- Financial instruments not measured at fair value:
The Group's financial instruments not measured at fair value, such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other financial assets, refundable deposits, short-term borrowings, short-term bills payable, accounts payable, and lease liabilities (including current and non-current assets), long-term borrowings (including those due within one year or one operating cycle) and the book value of guarantee deposits are reasonably approximate to the fair value.
- Information on fair value levels:
The Group's financial instruments measured at fair value are all measured at fair value on a repetitive basis. The fair value hierarchy is shown in the following table:

(Note) They are the investment properties measured at fair value.
- Evaluation technique for instruments measured by fair value:
(1) Financial instruments:
A. If the quoted market price of a financial instrument is available, such a price shall be adopted as its fair value. The market prices announced by major exchanges and market prices of popular central government bonds based on the judgment announced by the OTC are the bases for the fair values of publicly listed equity instruments and debt instruments with quoted market prices. If quoted market prices for financial instruments are available on a timely and regular basis from exchanges, brokers, underwriters, industry associations, pricing service agencies, or competent authorities, and such prices represent actual and frequent fair market transactions, then the quoted market prices for such financial instruments are available. If the above criteria are not met, the market is deemed inactive. Generally speaking, a large bid-ask spread, a significant increase in the bid-ask spread, or a low volume of transactions are all indicators of an inactive market.
For the financial instruments held by the Group that belong to an active market, the fair value is listed as follows by category and attribute:
(A) A. Publicly listed companies' stocks: Closing prices.
(B) B. Open-end funds: Net worth.
B. Except for the above-mentioned financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is obtained through valuation techniques or with reference to the quoted prices of counterparties. To obtain fair values through evaluation technique, one can refer to current fair values of financial instruments of similar nature and features, use the cash flow discount method or use other evaluation techniques, including using models to calculate market information on the balance sheet date.
(2) Investment properties:
A. The valuation technique for investment properties measured a fair value complies with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, by calculating with the income approach via the outsourced appraisal. Information of the related parameter assumptions and input value are as below:
(A) Cash flow: The cash flows are assessed in accordance with the existing lease contracts, local rent or market price of rent in the similar comparable market, while excluding prices too high or too low. If there is a value at the end of the period, the present value of such value at the end of the period may be added.
(B) Analysis period: For the income without a definite periods, the analysis period is no more than 10 years as principle. For the income with a definite period, the remaining period is used for calculation.
(C) Discount rate: The risk premium method is adopted, and the estimation is based on a certain interest rate, plus the individual characteristics of the investment property. The "certain interest rate" referred herein means the interest rate of the two-year time deposit announced by Chunghwa Post Co., Ltd. Plus 0.75 percentage points.
(D) Growth rate: Adjusted with reference to the average change rate of the CPI in the past decade.
B. The output of the valuation model is an estimated value, and the valuation technique may not reflect all relevant factors of the financial and non-financial instruments held by the Group. Therefore, the estimated value through the valuation model will be adjusted according to additional parameters, such as model risk or liquidity risk. According to the Group's management policy of the fair value valuation model and relevant control procedures, the management believes that the valuation adjustments are appropriate and necessary for the fair

presentation of the fair value of non-financial instruments in the balance sheets. The pricing information and parameters used in the valuation process are carefully evaluated and appropriately adjusted based on the current market conditions.

(IV) Transfer of financial assets:
- De-recognition of transferred financial assets as a whole:
(1) Chang Hwa Bank has entered into an accounts receivable factoring agreement with the Group. The Group is not responsible for the risk of uncollectability of the transferred accounts receivable, only for the losses that arise from commercial disputes, as stipulated in the agreement. The relevant information of these factored accounts receivable that have not yet matured is as follows, as the Group does not have any ongoing involvement with these transferred accounts receivable:
December 31, 2025:
| Name of related party | Amount of advance payment at the beginning of period | Amount of consignment in this period | Current amount received | Amount advanced as of the end of the period | Annual interest rate on pre-paid amount (%) | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chang Hua Bank | 10,906 (EUR 294) | 28,055 (EUR 801) | 36,971 (EUR 1,039) | 1,990 (EUR 56) | 3.12% | EUR 450 |
December 31, 2024:
| Name of related party | Amount of advance payment at the beginning of period | Amount of consignment in this period | Current amount received | Amount advanced as of the end of the period | Annual interest rate on pre-paid amount (%) | Limit |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Chang Hua Bank | 1,231 (EUR 36) | 51,472 (EUR 1,492) | 41,797 (EUR 1,234) | 10,906 (EUR 294) | 3.77%-3.84% | EUR 1,000 |
(2) The Group transferred some of the bank's acceptance receivable by endorsement to the supplier to pay for accounts payable, and the endorsement was transferred to the bank for application for discount. Relevant information is as follows:
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Transferred and derecognized | $ 228,409 | |
| (RMB 51,080) | $ 505,647 | |
| (RMB 110,868) |
Almost all the risks and rewards of these acceptances receivable have been transferred, but if the derecognized bank acceptances are not cashed when due, the supplier still has the right to demand repayment from the Group, so the Group continues to participate in the and other notes. The maximum loss exposure amount of the Group's continuous participation in the derecognized bank acceptances is the face value of the bank acceptances that have been transferred but not yet expired. Considering the credit risk of the derecognized bank acceptances, the Group assessed that the amount of its continuing participation is not significant.
- Transferred financial assets that are not de-recognized in their entirety:
| Transferred but not recognized | December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| $ 3,837 | $ 228,957 | |
| (RMB 858) | (RMB 50,201) |
If the acceptances receivable cannot be collected at the expiry date, the supplier is entitled to request the Group to pay the unsettled balance. Therefore, the Group has not transferred the significant risk and return of the acceptances receivable and continues to recognize the above receivables, and the transferred acceptances receivable shall be used as collateral.
(V) Offsetting of financial assets and financial liabilities: None.
(VI) Other Matters:
In view of the increasingly fierce competition in the stainless steel market following the rise of the steel industries in China and Indonesia, the Group plans to form a strategic alliance with Yieh United Steel Corp. (Yieh United) through Tang Eng Iron Works Co., Ltd. (Tang Eng). This alliance aims to achieve economies of scale in production and sales, thereby enhancing the international competitiveness of Taiwan's stainless steel industry. On May 4, 2022, the Group's board of directors approved the filing with the Fair Trade Commission regarding the business combination with Yieh United to jointly operate Tang Eng. The Group will proceed to the acquisition of Tang Eng's equity after obtaining the approval of the fair trade union. The Group and Yieh United will directly or indirectly acquire more than one third or more than 50% of the equity of Tang Eng Company through public tender offer or other means. After the said joint case was reported, the Fair Trade Commission in August 2022 rejected it on the grounds that the information submitted was still incomplete. On August 8, 2023, the boards of directors of the Group and Yieh United approved a re-filing with the Fair Trade Commission for the business combination. The updated plan includes the Group's subsidiaries, SHIN YAGN STEEL CORP. (Shin Yang) and Kuo Chang Enterprise Co., Ltd. (Kuo Chang), acquiring approximately 8.84% and 2% of Tang Eng, respectively. Yieh United's subsidiary, Long Yuan Investment Development Co., Ltd. (Long Yuan), will acquire an additional 6% of Tang Eng's shares, bringing their total holdings to approximately 48%, including their existing 31.16% stake. Shin Yang, Kuo Chang and Long Yuan will convene a board meeting and announce the acquisition of information related to Tang Eng's equity in accordance with the Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets and the relevant regulations of the Securities and Exchange Act after obtaining the permission of the fair club.
