We have audited the transitional period income statement of Shandong Hongtuo Industrial Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as "Hongtuo Industrial"), including the transitional period income statement for the period from January 1, 2025, to December 31, 2025, and the related notes to the transitional period income statement.
We believe that the accompanying transitional period income statement, in all material respects, has been prepared in accordance with the basis of preparation described in Note II to the transitional period income statement and fairly presents the operating results of Hongtuo Industrial during the transitional period.
II. Basis for Audit Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Chinese Institute of Certified Public Accountants. The section "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements" in this audit report further elaborates on our responsibilities under these standards. In accordance with the independence requirements of the Chinese Code of Professional Conduct for Certified Public Accountants and the ethical requirements of the Chinese Institute of Certified Public Accountants applicable to the audits of financial statements of entities of public interest, we are independent of Hongtuo Industrial and have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our audit opinion.
III. Emphasis of Matter — Basis of Preparation
We draw the attention of financial statement users to the description of the basis of preparation in Note II to the transitional period income statement. The transitional period income statement of Hongtuo Industrial was prepared for the purpose of Shandong Hongqiao Aluminum Holdings Co., Ltd. issuing shares to acquire assets, to clarify the operating results of Hongtuo Industrial during the transitional period. Therefore, the transitional period income statement is not suitable for other purposes. This paragraph does not affect the audit opinion expressed.
IV. Other Matter — Limitations on the Scope and Use of the Audit Report
Our report is intended solely for the users of the transitional period income statement and should not be distributed to or used by parties other than the users of the transitional period income statement.
V. Management's and Those Charged with Governance's Responsibilities for the Financial Statements
The management of Hongtuo Industrial (hereinafter referred to as "Management") is responsible for the preparation of the transitional period income statement in accordance with the requirements of Note II to the transitional period income statement, to ensure fair presentation, and for the design, implementation, and maintenance of internal control as necessary to enable the preparation of the transitional period income statement that is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the transitional period income statement, Management is responsible for evaluating Hongtuo Industrial's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing matters related to going concern (if applicable), and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless Management intends to liquidate Hongtuo Industrial, cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing Hongtuo Industrial's financial reporting process.
VI. Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Financial Statements
Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the transitional period income statement as a whole is free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our audit opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users made on the basis of the transitional period income statement.
