To ASCENT DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.:

(Previous name: CHUWA WOOL INDUSTRY CO., (TAIWAN) LTD.) and its subsidiaries (the Group) balance sheet of December 31 of 2024 and 2023, the comprehensive income statement, changes of equity, and cash flow statement from January 1 to December 31 of 2024 and 2023 and the notes to the consolidated financial statements (including the summary of major accounting policies) have been audited by the Auditor of the Firm.

According to the opinions of the Auditor, the above-mentioned consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers in all material aspects, which are sufficient to express the financial status of the Group on December 31, 2024 and 2023, and parent company only financial performance and parent company only cash flow from January 1 to December 31 in 2024 and 2023.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group and its subsidiaries in accordance with the Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on the audit results of the Auditor and the audit reports of other auditors, we believe that we have obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis for expressing the audit opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit items refer to the most important items in the audit of the Company's 2024 consolidated financial statements based on our professional judgment. These matters have been dealt with in the process of checking the consolidated financial statements and reaching audit opinions, and the we do not express opinions on these matters independently.

Key audit matters in the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 are as follows:

Impairment Testing of Investment Using the Equity Method

Descriptions

~5~

For the accounting policy of investment using the equity method, please refer to Note 4(15) of the consolidated financial statements, for the accounting policy of impairment of nonfinancial assets, please refer to Note 4(21) of the consolidated financial statements, and for the description of accounting items, please refer to the Notes 6(8) of the consolidated financial statements.

On December 31, 2024, the book value of the Group's investment using the equity method was NT$1,299,223 thousands, accounting for 22% of the total consolidated assets. In accordance with the International Accounting Standard No. 28 “Investment in Affiliated Enterprises and Joint Ventures”, the management level shall assess whether the recoverable amount of the investment is lower than the book value if there is objective evidence showing signs of impairment for the investment using the equity method. Since the objective evidence of its impairment assessment and the comprehensive consideration factors for determining the recoverable amount involve the subjective judgment of the management and have a high degree of uncertainty, and the investment amount using the equity method is significant, the auditor adopts the Group’s relevant Impairment assessment of equity method investments is listed as one of the most important matters of the audit.

Audit procedure

The auditor has implemented the following procedures to respond to the specific aspects described in the above key audit items:

  • 1.Interview with the management level to understand the management's assessment of the signs of impairment of investments using the equity method and evaluate its rationality.

  • (1) Assess the suitability and objectivity of the external evaluation experts appointed by the management level.

  • (2) Assess the appropriateness of the evaluation methods adopted by the external evaluation experts appointed by the management level and the rationality of the relevant assumptions.

Occurrence of Sales Revenue from Real Estate

Descriptions

Please refer to Note 4(28) of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy of operating revenue in the construction industry, and Note 6(18) to the consolidated financial statements for descriptions of accounting items.

The real estate sales revenue of the construction industry is recognized when the ownership transfer of the real estate is completed and the house inspection certificate is delivered to the customer. The recognition of revenue is whether it meets the criteria for

~6~

revenue recognition, which is significant to the overall financial statements of the current year. Therefore, we have listed the occurrence of sales revenue from real estate as one of the most important matters in the audit.

The auditor has implemented the following procedures to respond to the specific aspects described in the above key audit items:

  • 1.Understand and review the procedures for recognizing sales revenue and confirm that they are adopted in the same period of the financial statements.

  • 2.For the details of the annual recognized property sales revenue, samples were selected to check the corresponding property ownership transfer and actual house delivery related basis, in order to confirm the appropriateness of the property sales revenue.

Other Matters - Audits conducted by other certified public accountants

The financial statements of some of the Company's investments under the equity method of the Group have not been audited by us but by other independent auditors. Therefore, in our opinions on the above-mentioned consolidated financial statements, the amount listed in the financial statements of the Companies and the relevant information disclosed in Note 13 are based on the audit reports of other auditors. On December 31, 2024 and 2023, the amount of investment in the above-mentioned companies using the equity method was NT$1,220,821 thousands and NT$1,105,298 thousands, respectively, accounting for 21% and 21% of the total consolidated assets. In 2024 and 2023 the consolidated profits and losses recognized for the aforementioned companies were NT$222,349 thousands and NT$308,546 thousands, respectively, accounting for 113% and 94% of the consolidated profits and losses for the current period.

Other Matters - Parent company only financial statements

ASCENT DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD. has compiled the parent company only financial statements for 2024, and the audit report of other matter paragraphs issued by the accountant with unqualified opinions is submitted for reference.

Responsibilities of Management Level and Governance Units for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The responsibilities of the management is to prepare consolidated financial statements that are reasonably expressed in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards approved and published by the Financial Supervisory Commission and International Accounting Standards, and interpret and explain the announcement in preparation of consolidated financial statements that are fairly presented, and maintain the necessary internal controls related to the preparation of consolidated financial statements to ensure that there are no material misstatement in the financial statements that are caused by fraud or errors.

~7~

When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the responsibilities of the management level also include assessing the ability of the Group for going concern, the disclosure of related matters, and the adoption of the going-concern accounting basis, unless the management level intends to liquidate the Group or cease operations, or except for liquidation or cease of operation or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

The governance units (including the audit committee) of the Group are responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.

Responsibilities of Auditor to Audit Consolidated Financial Statements

The purpose of our audit of the financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether there is any material misrepresentation in the consolidated financial statements as a whole resulting from fraud or error, and to issue an audit report. Reasonable certainty is of high degree of certainty, but there is no guarantee that the audit work performed in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China will be able to detect material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements. Misstatements may result from fraud or error. Misstatements of individual amounts or aggregated amounts is considered material if it can reasonably be expected to affect economic decisions made by users of the consolidated financial statements.

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

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

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

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management level's use of the going concern basis of accounting and whether or not a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast a significant doubt on the Group's and its subsidiaries’ ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our

~8~

auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as an ongoing concern.

  1. Assess the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the financial statements properly represent relevant transactions and events.

  2. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

The planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal controls that we identify during our audit.

We also provide the governance units with the statements that the personnel of the accounting firm that is subject to independence regulations have complied with the independence statement in the professional ethics code for CPAs of the Republic of China, and communicate with the governance units all relationships that may be considered to affect the independence of the auditors and other matters (including relevant protective measures).

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year 2024, and are therefore the key audit matters. 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 our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The major accounting policies adopted in the preparation of the financial statements are described below. Unless otherwise stated, these policies apply consistently throughout all reporting periods.

(I) Compliance statement

The consolidated financial report has been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRSs), International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC.

(II) Compilation basis

  1. Except for financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at FVTOCI, the financial statement is prepared based on historical costs.

  2. The compilation of financial statement in compliance with IFRSs requires the use of some important accounting estimates. In the process of adopting the Group’s accounting policies, management also needs to adopt the judgments, which involve highly judgmental or complex items, or major assumptions and estimated items in financial statements. For details, please refer to Note 5.

(III) Consolidation basis

  1. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements

  2. (1) The Group incorporates all subsidiaries into entities for the preparation of financial statements. A subsidiary refers to an entity controlled by the Group. The Group is considered to control an entity when it is exposed to, or has rights to, variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. The subsidiary is included in the consolidated financial statements from the date the Group obtains control, and the merger is terminated on the date the Group loses control.

  3. (2) Intra-group transactions, balances and unrealized gains and losses are eliminated. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries have been adjusted as

~18~

necessary to be consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.

  • (3) Profit and loss and other components of comprehensive profit and loss are attributable to the owners and non-controlling interests of the parent company; the total comprehensive profit and loss is also attributable to the owners and non-controlling interests of the parent company, even if the non-controlling interests suffer losses due to this.

  • (4) If the change in the shareholding of the subsidiary does not result in a loss of control (transactions with non-controlling interests), it will be regarded as an equity transaction, which is regarded as the transaction with the owner. Any difference between the adjusted amount of non-controlling interests and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is directly recognized in equity.

  • (5) When the Group loses control over the subsidiary, the remaining investment in the former subsidiary is remeasured at fair value and adopted as the fair value of the originally recognized financial assets or the cost of the originally recognized investment in affiliated enterprises or joint ventures. The difference between the fair value and the carrying amount is recognized as profit or loss of the current period. For all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive profit or loss related to the subsidiary, the accounting treatment is the same as if the Group directly disposes of the relevant assets or liabilities. That is, if a gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income would be reclassified to profit or loss upon the disposal of the related assets or liabilities, it will also be reclassified from equity to profit or loss when control of the subsidiary is lost.

(IV) Foreign currency conversion

Items included in the financial statements of each entity within the Group are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (i.e. the functional currency). The consolidated financial statements are presented in the Company's functional currency “NT$”.

Foreign currency transactions and balances

  1. Foreign currency transactions are converted into functional currency at the spot exchange rate on the transaction date or measurement date, and the conversion difference arising from the conversion of these transactions is recognized as current profit or loss.

  2. The balance of foreign currency monetary assets and liabilities is evaluated and adjusted according to the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the translation difference arising from the adjustment is recognized as current profit or loss.

  3. The balance of foreign currency non-monetary assets and liabilities, which are at FVTPL, shall be adjusted according to the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the exchange difference arising from the adjustment shall be recognized as current profit or loss; if it is at FVTOCI, it shall be adjusted at the spot exchange rate on the balance sheet date, and the exchange difference arising from the adjustment shall be recognized in other comprehensive profit or loss; if it is not at fair value, it shall be at the historical exchange rate on the initial

~21~

transaction date.

  1. All exchange gains and losses are listed in “Other Gains and Losses” in the Consolidated Income Statement.

  2. (V) Classification criteria for current and non-current assets and liabilities

The Group is engaged in entrusting construction companies to build or sell buildings, and its business cycle is usually longer than one year. Assets and liabilities related to construction projects are classified as current or non-current based on the business cycle; and the standards for the classification of other items as current and non-current are as follows:

  1. Assets that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current assets:

  2. (1) The asset is expected to be realized, or it is intended to be sold or consumed in the normal business cycle.

  3. (2) Mainly held for the purpose of trading.

  4. (3) Those expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

  5. (4) Cash or cash equivalents, except those that can be exchanged at least 12 months after the balance sheet date or used to settle liabilities are restricted.

  6. The Group classifies all assets that do not meet the above conditions as non-current.

  7. Liabilities that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current liabilities:

  8. (1) Expected to be settled in the normal business cycle.

  9. (2) Mainly held for the purpose of trading.

  10. (3) Those expected to be paid off within 12 months after the balance sheet date.

  11. (4) The repayment period cannot be unconditionally postponed at least 12 months after the reporting period.

The Group classifies all liabilities that do not meet the above conditions as noncurrent.

(VI) Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents refer to short-term and highly liquid investments that can be converted into fixed amounts of cash at any time with little risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held to meet short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

(VII) Financial assets at FVTPL

  1. Refers to financial assets that are not at amortized cost or at FVTOCI.

  2. The Group adopts transaction-day accounting for financial assets at FVTPL that conform to customary transactions.

~22~

  1. The Group measures it at fair value at the time of initial recognition, and the relevant transaction costs are recognized in profit or loss, and subsequently at fair value, and its profits or losses are recognized in profit or loss.

  2. When the right to receive dividends is established, the economic benefits related to dividends are likely to flow in, and the amount of dividends can be measured reliably, hence the Group recognizes dividend income in profit or loss.

(VIII) Financial assets at FVTOCI

  1. Refers to an irrevocable choice made at the time of original recognition to present changes in the fair value of equity instrument investments not held for trading in other comprehensive income.

  2. The Group adopts transaction-day accounting for financial assets at FVTOCI that conform to customary transactions.

  3. The Group measures at its fair value plus transaction costs at the time of original recognition, and subsequently at fair value:

  4. Changes in the fair value of equity instruments are recognized in other comprehensive profit or loss. When delisting, the accumulated gains or losses previously recognized in other comprehensive profit or loss shall not be reclassified to profit or loss, and shall be transferred to retained earnings. When the right to receive dividends is established, the economic benefits related to dividends are likely to flow in, and the amount of dividends can be measured reliably, hence the Group recognizes dividend income in profit or loss.

(IX) Financial assets at amortized cost

  1. Refers to those who meet the following conditions at the same time:

  2. (1) The financial asset is held under the business model for the purpose of collecting contractual cash flow.

  3. (2) The contract terms of the financial asset generate cash flow on a specific date, which is entirely the payment of principal and interest on the outstanding principal amount.

  4. The Group adopts transaction-day accounting for financial assets at cost after amortization that complies with customary transactions.

  5. The Group measures its fair value plus transaction costs at the time of initial recognition, and then adopts the effective interest method to recognize interest income and impairment losses during the circulation period according to the amortization procedure, and when delisting, it will be recognized the gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

~23~

  1. The time deposits held by the Group that are not categorized as cash equivalents are measured by the investment amount because the holding period is short and the impact of discounting is not significant.

(X) Accounts and Notes Receivable

  1. Refers to accounts and notes that have the unconditional right to receive the consideration amount in exchange for the transfer of goods or services in accordance with the contract.

  2. For unpaid short-term accounts and notes receivable, since discounting has little effect, the Group measures them based on the original invoiced amount.

(XI) Impairment of financial assets

On each balance sheet date, for financial assets at amortized cost, after considering all reasonable and supportable information (including forward-looking information), the Group has no significant increase in credit risk since the original recognition , which measures the allowance loss by the amount of 12-month expected credit losses; for those whose credit risk has increased significantly since the original recognition, the allowance for loss shall be measured according to the amount of expected credit loss during the duration; for accounts receivable that do not include significant financial components, the allowance for loss shall be measured according to the amount of expected credit loss during the duration.

(XII) Delisting of financial assets

Financial assets will be delisted when the Group's contractual rights to receive cash flows from the financial assets lapse.

(XIII) Lessor's lease transaction - Business lease

Lease income from business leases and net of any incentives given to the lessee will be amortized on a straight-line basis over the lease term and recognized as current profit or loss.

(XIV) Inventory

  1. Including land for construction, premises under construction, and premises for sale, etc., the acquisition cost is adopted as the accounting basis, and the project profit and loss is recognized according to the completed contract method. The land for construction is listed as the premises under construction when it is actively developed, and the relevant interest is capitalized from the time of active development or construction to the completion of the work.

~24~

  1. Inventory at the end of the period is measured by the lower of cost and net realizable value. When comparing the lower of cost and net realizable value, the item-by-item comparison method is adopted; and the net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the normal course of business less the estimated cost to complete and the estimated cost to complete the sale.

  2. (XV) Investments using the equity method Affiliated enterprises

  3. Affiliated enterprises refers to all entities over which the Group has significant influence but no control, generally directly or indirectly holding more than 20% of their voting shares. The Group adopts the equity method to dispose of the investment in affiliated enterprises, and recognizes it at cost when acquired.

  4. The Group recognizes the share of profit and loss acquired by the affiliated enterprises as profit and loss of the current period, and the share of other comprehensive profit and loss acquired by the Group as other comprehensive profit or loss. If the Group's share of losses to any affiliated enterprise is equivalent to or exceeds its equity in the affiliated enterprise (including any other unsecured receivables), the Group will not recognize further losses unless the Group has any legal or constructive obligations to, or has paid on behalf of the affiliated enterprise.

  5. When the affiliated enterprise has any non-profit or loss and other comprehensive profit or loss equity changes that do not affect the shareholding ratio, the Group will recognize all equity changes as "capital surplus" based on the shareholding ratio.

  6. The unrealized gains and losses arising from transactions between the Group and affiliated enterprises have been eliminated in proportion to its equity in the affiliated enterprises; unless there is further evidence that the assets transferred in the transaction have been impaired, unrealized losses will also be eliminated. The accounting policies of the affiliated enterprises have been adjusted as necessary to be consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.

  7. In the event that an affiliate enterprise issues new shares, and the Group does not subscribe to the new shares in accordance with the proportion, resulting in a change in the investment ratio but still having a significant impact on it, the increase or decrease of the change in the net equity value is to adjust the "capital surplus" and "investments accounted for under the equity method". If the proportion of investment is reduced, in addition to the above-mentioned adjustments, the gains or losses related to the reduction of ownership interests that have been previously recognized in other comprehensive profit or loss, and the gains or losses must be reclassified to profit or loss when disposing of related assets or liabilities, it shall be reclassified to profit or loss according to the

~25~

reduction ratio.

  1. When the Group disposes of an affiliated enterprise and loses its significant influence on such affiliated enterprise, for all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive profit or loss related to the affiliated enterprise, the accounting treatment is the same as if the Company directly disposes of the relevant assets or liabilities, that is, if the benefit or loss previously recognized as other comprehensive profit or loss will be reclassified as profit or loss when disposing of the relevant assets or liabilities, when control of the affiliated enterprise is lost, the benefit or loss will be reclassified from equity to profit or loss. If there is still a significant influence on the affiliated enterprises, only the amount previously recognized in other comprehensive profit and loss shall be transferred out in the above-mentioned manner on a proportionate basis.

(XVI) Joint Agreements

  1. For the interests in joint operations, the Group recognizes the direct rights (and their shares) to the assets, liabilities, income and expenses of the joint operations, and has included them in the applicable items of the financial report.

  2. When participating in a joint venture without joint control, the Group will handle its interest in the agreement in accordance with the provisions of IFRS 9 "Financial Instruments".

(XVII) Property, plants, and equipment

  1. Real estate, plant and equipment are recorded on the basis of acquisition cost.

  2. Subsequent costs are included in the book value of the asset or recognized as a separate asset only when the future economic benefits related to the item are likely to flow into the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The book value of the replaced part shall be delisted. All other maintenance expenses are recognized as current profit or loss when incurred.

  3. The subsequent measurement of property, plant and equipment adopts the cost model. Except for land, which is not listed for depreciation, the depreciation will be calculated using the straight-line method based on the estimated service life. If the composition of property, plant and equipment is significant, it will be depreciated separately.

  4. The Group examines the residual value, service life and depreciation method of each asset at the end of each financial year. If the expected residual value or service life is different from the previous estimate, or if there is a significant change in the expected consumption pattern of the asset's future economic benefits, the change shall be accounted for as a revision of accounting estimates

~26~

in accordance with International Accounting Standard No. 8 “Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors” from the date of the change. The service life of each asset is as follows:

Houses and buildings 20 years Office equipment 5 to 23 years Lease improvement 10 years

(XVIII) Lessee's lease transaction - right-of-use asset/lease liability

  1. Lease assets are recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the day they become available to the Group. When the lease contract is a short-term lease or a lease of a low-value underlying asset, the lease payment is recognized as an expense during the lease period using the straight-line method.

  2. Lease liabilities are recognized at the present value of unpaid lease payments discounted at the Group's incremental borrowing rate on the lease commencement date. Lease payments are fixed payments, less any lease incentives that can be received.

  3. Subsequent adoption of the interest method is measured by the amortized cost method, and interest expenses are provided during the lease period. When the lease term or lease payment changes due to non-contract modification, the lease liability will be reassessed, and the re-measurement amount will be adjusted to the right-of-use asset.

  4. The right-of-use asset is recognized at cost on the lease commencement date, and the cost is the original measured amount of the lease liability. Subsequent measurement is made using the cost model, and depreciation expenses are provided when the service life of the right-of-use asset expires or when the lease period expires, whichever is earlier. When the lease liability is reassessed, the right-of-use asset will adjust any remeasurement of the lease liabilities.

  5. For a lease modification that reduces the scope of the lease, the lessee will reduce the book amount of the right-of-use asset to reflect partial or complete termination of the lease, and recognize the difference between it and the remeasured amount of the lease liability in profit or loss.

(XIX) Investment property

Investment real estate is recognized at acquisition cost, and the subsequent measurement adopts the cost model. Except for land, depreciation is provided by

~27~

the straight-line method according to the estimated service life which ranges from 10 to 60 years.

(XX) Intangible assets

The cost is recognized with computer software and amortized in accordance with the straight-line method over the estimated lifespan of 2 to 5 years.

(XXI) Impairment of non-financial assets

On the balance sheet date, the Group will estimate the recoverable amount of assets which may be subject to impairment, and recognize the impairment loss when the recoverable amount is lower than its book amount. The recoverable amount is the fair value of an asset less costs of disposal or its value in use, whichever is higher. When the asset impairment recognized in the previous year does not exist or decreases, the impairment loss shall be reversed. However, the increase in the book value of the asset due to the reversal of the impairment loss shall not exceed the book amount of the asset after deducting depreciation or amortization if no impairment loss is recognized.

(XXII) Borrowings

The long- and short-term funds borrowed from banks. The Group measured it at the fair value less transaction costs at the time of original recognition, and subsequently recognized any difference between the price after deducting transaction costs and the redemption value, and adopted the effective interest method and amortizing procedures to recognize interest expenses during the circulation period in profit and loss.

(XXIII) Notes and Accounts Payable

  1. Refers to the debts incurred due to the purchase of raw materials, commodities, or services on credit, and the notes payable incurred due to business and nonbusiness matters.

  2. For unpaid short-term accounts and notes payable, since discounting has little effect, the Group measures them based on the original invoiced amount.

(XXIV) Delisting of financial liabilities

The Group delists financial liabilities when the obligations specified in the contract are performed, canceled or expired.

~28~

(XXV) Employee benefits

  1. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are at non-discounted amounts expected to be paid and are recognized as an expense when the related service is rendered.

  1. Pension

For a definite contribution plan, the amount of the pension fund that shall be appropriated is recognized as the current pension cost on the basis of accruals. Advance payments are recognized as assets to the extent that they are refundable in cash or reduce future payments.

  1. Severance benefits

Severance benefits are benefits provided when the employee's employment is terminated before the normal retirement date or when the employee decides to accept the company's welfare offer in exchange for the termination of employment. The Group recognizes an expense when it is no longer possible to withdraw the offer of termination benefits or when the related restructuring costs are recognized, whichever is earlier. Benefits that are not expected to be fully settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date will be discounted.

  1. Employees and directors remuneration

Employee remuneration and directors' remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities when there is a legal or constructive obligation and the amount can be reasonably estimated. If there is a discrepancy between the actual distribution amount and the estimated amount in subsequent resolutions, it shall be treated as a change in accounting estimate. In addition, if employee remuneration is paid by stock, the basis for calculating the number of shares is the closing price on the day before the resolution of the board of directors.

(XXVI) Income Tax

  1. Income tax expense includes current and deferred income tax. Income taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except for income taxes that relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive profit or loss or directly in equity, respectively.

  2. The Group calculates current income tax based on the tax rate that has been enacted or substantively enacted on the balance sheet date in the country where the Group operates and generates taxable income. The management level periodically assesses the status of income tax filings with respect to

~29~

applicable income tax regulations and, where applicable, estimates income tax liabilities based on the expected tax payments to the taxation competent authorities. For undistributed earnings, additional income tax is levied in accordance with the Income Tax Law. In the year following the year in which the earnings are generated, the undistributed earnings income tax expense shall be recognized based on the distribution of the actual earnings after the shareholders' meeting approves the earnings distribution proposal.

  1. The balance sheet method is adopted for deferred income tax, which is recognized according to the temporary difference between the tax basis of assets and liabilities and their carrying amount on the balance sheet. Deferred income tax liabilities arising from the original recognition of goodwill are not recognized if the deferred income tax arises from the original recognition of assets or liabilities in a transaction (excluding business combinations) and at the time of the transaction. If it does not affect accounting profit or taxable income (tax loss), and does not generate equivalent taxable and deductible temporary differences, it will not be recognized. For temporary differences related to investment in subsidiaries and affiliated enterprises, if the Group can control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is highly likely that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future, it will not be recognized. The deferred income tax is based on the tax rate (and taxation laws) that has been enacted or substantively enacted on the balance sheet date and is expected to be applicable when the relevant deferred income tax assets are realized or the deferred income tax liabilities are settled.

  2. Deferred income tax assets are recognized within the scope of temporary differences, unused tax losses and unused income tax credits that are likely to be available in future taxable income, and are reassessed on each balance sheet date. Evaluate unrecognized and recognized deferred tax assets.

  3. The later part of the unused income tax deduction due to the purchase of equipment or technology, research and development expenditure, and equity investment, etc., which is within the scope of future taxable income that is likely to be used for the unused income tax deduction. Recognize deferred income tax assets.

(XXVII) Dividend distribution

The dividends distributed to the shareholders of the Company are recognized in the financial report when the shareholders' meeting of the Company resolves to distribute dividends, and the distribution of cash dividends is recognized as the

~30~

liability.

(XXVIII) Revenue recognition

  1. Real estate sales for land development

  2. (1) The main business of the Group is land development and sales of real estate, and the revenue is recognized when the control of real estate is transferred to customers. For the signed residential sales contracts, due to the restrictions of the contract terms, the real estate has no other use for the Group, but the Group will not have the enforceable right to the contract payment until the legal ownership or use right of the real estate is transferred to the customer. Revenue is recognized when the ownership or use right is transferred to the customer.

  3. (2) Part of the Group's sales contracts include the change consideration of price reduction, and the Group takes the expected value or the most likely amount as the appropriate estimate of the change consideration.

  4. (3) The Group's contract for the sale of pre-sale houses contains the terms of advance payment from customers, and the time interval between the time of advance receipt and the transfer of commodity control is longer than one year. According to the provisions of IFRS15, if the Group judges that there are significant financial components in individual pre-sale house contracts, it should adjust the amount of promised consideration and recognize interest expenses. In addition, IFRS15 states that enterprises shall only consider the materiality of financial components at the contract level, and not consider whether financial financing is significant at the portfolio level.

  5. Lease revenue

  6. A lease is classified as a finance lease when the terms of the lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of the leased asset to the lessee. The others are classified as operating leases. Under a finance lease, amounts due from the lessee are included as lease receivables. Financing income is apportioned to each accounting period to reflect the fixed rate of return available in each period. Lease income from operating leases is recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the term of the relevant lease.

(XXIX) Operating segment

Information on the Group's operating segments is reported in a manner consistent with the internal management reports provided to the chief decision-maker of business operation. The chief decision-maker of business operation is

~31~

responsible for allocating resources to operating departments and evaluating their performance.

  • V. Major sources of uncertainty in major accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions

When the Group prepared these financial statements, the management level has adopted its judgment to determine the accounting policies adopted, and made accounting estimates and assumptions based on the current situation at the balance sheet date and reasonable expectations of future events. The major accounting estimates and assumptions made may differ from the actual results, and will be continuously evaluated and adjusted taking into account historical experience and other factors. These estimates and assumptions have a risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. Please explain in detail the following explanations on the uncertainty of major accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions:

  • (I) Important Judgments for Adoption of Accounting Policies

None.

(II) Important Accounting Estimates and Assumptions

1. Impairment testing of investment using the equity method

When there is an indication of impairment that an investment using the equity method may have been impaired so that the carrying amount cannot be recovered, the Group immediately assesses the impairment of the investment. The Group evaluates the recoverable amount based on the discounted present value of the expected future cash flow of the invested company, and analyzes the rationality of the relevant assumptions.

  1. Evaluation of inventory

Because inventories shall be priced at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group shall adopt judgment and estimation to determine the net realizable value of inventories on the balance sheet date. The management of the Group mainly relies on historical experience and the amount of future market sales value It is the basis of estimation and therefore may be subject to material changes.

2. Risk management policies

  • (1) The Group's financial risk management objectives are mainly to manage market risks, credit risks and liquidity risks related to operating activities. The Group identifies, measures and manages the aforementioned risks in accordance with the Group's policies and risk preferences.

  • (2) The Group has established appropriate policies, procedures, and internal controls for the aforementioned financial risk management in accordance with relevant regulations, and important financial activities must be reviewed by the board of directors in accordance with relevant regulations and internal controls. During the execution of financial management activities, the Group shall faithfully comply with the relevant regulations on financial risk management.

  • (3) The Group has not undertaken derivatives to avoid financial risks.

  • Nature and extent of material financial risks

  • (1) Market risk

Interest rate risk

  • A. The Group is exposed to exchange rate risks arising from transactions that are relatively different from the functional currencies of the Company and its subsidiaries, mainly in USD. The associated exchange rate risk arises from future commercial trades and recognized assets and liabilities.

  • B. The management of the Group has established a policy requiring each company within the Group to manage the exchange rate risk relative to its functional currency.

  • C. The business of the Group involves non-functional currency (the functional currency of the Company and its subsidiaries is NTD), so it is affected by exchange rate fluctuations, and the foreign currency assets and liabilities with significant exchange rate fluctuations are as follows:

(Foreign currency:

  • D. The Group’s monetary items have a significant impact due to exchange rate fluctuations. The total amount of all exchange benefits (losses) recognized in 2024 and 2023 (including realized and unrealized) was NT$2,208 and (NT$54), respectively.

  • E. The Group’s foreign currency market risk analysis due to major exchange rate fluctuations is as follows:

The exchange risk between USD and NT$ mainly comes from US dollardenominated cash and equivalent cash, resulting in foreign currency exchange losses or gains during conversion. If holding NT$ against USD depreciates or appreciates by 1% and all other factors remain unchanged, the net profit in 2024 and 2023 will increase or decrease by NT$291 and NT$252 respectively.

Price risk

  • A. The equity instruments that the Group is exposed to price risk are financial assets held at FVTPL and financial assets at FVTOCI. In order to manage the price risk of equity instrument investment, the Group manages the price risk of equity securities by diversifying investment and setting limits for single and overall equity investment. The information on investment portfolio of equity securities needs to be regularly provided to the senior management of the Company, and the board of directors must review all equity securities investment decisions and approve the diversification of its investment portfolio.

  • B. The Group mainly invests in equity instruments issued by domestic companies and joint development projects. The prices of these equity instruments and contracts will be affected by the uncertainty of the future value of the investment target. If the value of these equity instruments and joint development projects increases or decreases by 1%, and all other factors remain unchanged, the after-tax net profit in 2024 and 2023 comes from equity instruments at FVTPL and the gain or loss on the joint development project will increase or decrease by NT$2,529 and NT$1,176

~67~

respectively; the gain or loss on equity investments classified as FVTOCI will increase or decrease by NT$1,417 and NT$1,708 respectively.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • A. The Group’s interest rate risk mainly comes from short-term loans issued at floating rates, as well as long-term loans which expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk. In 2024 and 2023, the Group’s loans issued at floating rates were mainly denominated in NT$.

  • B. When the NT$ loan interest rate increases or decreases by 1%, and all other factors remain unchanged, the after-tax net profit in 2024 and 2023 will decrease or increase by NT$14,795 and NT$14,022 respectively, mainly due to the fluctuation in interest expenses caused by variable-rate loans.

(2) Credit risk

  • A. The credit risk of the Group is the risk of financial loss of the Group due to the inability of the customer or the counterparty of the financial instrument to perform the contractual obligations, which mainly arises from the inability of the counterparty to settle the receivables paid on collection terms and the contractual cash flows classified as investments in debt instruments at amortized cost.

  • B. Each unit of the Group follows credit risk policies, procedures and controls to manage credit risk. The credit risk assessment of all customers is based on comprehensive consideration of the customer's financial status, credit rating agency ratings, past historical transaction experience, current economic environment, and the Group's internal rating standards and other factors.

  • C. The Group's Finance and Accounting Department manages the credit risks of bank deposits, fixed-income securities and other financial instruments in accordance with the Group's policies. Because the Group's transaction partners are determined by internal controls procedures, and they are banks with good credit, financial institutions, corporate organizations and government agencies with investment grades, and hence there is no significant credit risk.

  • D The Group mainly engages in the leasing and selling of residential buildings, industrial plants and commercial buildings. The sale of premises is recognized as revenue when the contract price is fully collected, the

~68~

ownership transfer is completed, and the actual house is handed over. Hence, the number of accounts receivable arising from the sale of premises should be small, and the risk of irrecoverability is minor for notes receivable. The amount of credit impairment assessed by the Group as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, was insignificant. In addition, for the accounts receivable arising from other transactions, the Group shall manage the credit risk. When the contract payment is overdue for more than 90 days according to the agreed payment terms, it shall be deemed as a breach of contract.

  • E. The Group adopts the presumption provided by IFRS 9. When the contract payment is overdue for more than 30 days according to the agreed payment terms, it is considered that the credit risk of the financial asset has increased significantly since the original recognition.

  • F. When the Group assesses that the financial assets cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered (for example, the issuer or the debtor has significant financial difficulties, or has gone bankrupt), it will be written off.

  • G. The Group categorizes customers' accounts receivable according to factors such as counterparty's credit rating, region and industry, and uses a simplified method to estimate expected credit losses based on the provision matrix. Relevant information is as follows:

(3) Liquidity risk

  • A. Cash flow forecasting is performed by each operating entity within the Group and summarized by the Group's finance department. The Group’s finance department monitors the forecast of the Group's liquidity needs to ensure that it has sufficient funds to meet operating needs and maintain sufficient unused loan commitments at any time, so that the Group will not violate the relevant loaning limit or terms. These forecasts take into account the group's debt financing plan, compliance with debt terms, and financial ratio targets in line with the internal balance sheet.

  • B. The Group invests the remaining funds in interest-bearing demand deposits, time deposits and securities, and the instruments it chooses have appropriate maturity dates or sufficient liquidity to respond to the above forecasts and provide sufficient dispatch levels.

  • C. The Company's unused loan is as follows:

    • December 31, 2024 December 31, 2023
  • Floating interest rate Overdue in more than $ 1,178,981 $ 389,597

  • E. The Group does not expect that the cash flow in the due date analysis will occur significantly earlier, or the actual amount will be significantly different.

(III) Fair Value Information

  1. The definitions of the various levels of evaluation techniques adopted to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments are as follows:

  2. Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in an active market for the same assets or liabilities available to the enterprise on the measurement date. An active market is one in which transactions in assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the listed/OTC stock invested by the Group belongs to this category.

  3. Level 2: Observable inputs, directly or indirectly, for assets or liabilities other than quoted prices included in Level 1.

  4. Level 3: Unobservable inputs to assets or liabilities. The Group's investments in joint development projects without an active market belong to this category.

  5. For information on the fair value of investment real estate at cost, please refer to Note 6(10).

  6. Financial instruments not measured by fair value

The Group’s cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortized cost, notes

~71~

receivable, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, refundable deposits, short-term loans, the book amounts of short-term bills payable, bills payable, accounts payable (including related parties), other payables (including related parties), deposits and long-term loans are reasonable approximations of fair values.

  1. Financial and non-financial instruments measured by fair value are classified by the Group based on the nature, characteristics and risks of assets and liabilities and the basis of fair value levels. The relevant information is as follows:

  2. (1) The Group classifies them according to the nature of assets and liabilities, and the relevant information is as follows:

  • (2) The methods and assumptions used by the Group to measure the fair value are as follows:

  • A. The Group adopts market quotation for fair value inputs (i.e. Level 1), which are broken down

by the characteristics of the instruments as follows:

Market quotation

Listed (OTC) stock Closing price

  • B. Except for the above-mentioned financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is obtained by evaluation techniques or by referring to the quotations of counterparties. The fair value obtained through valuation techniques can be calculated referring to the current fair value of other financial instruments with substantially similar conditions and characteristics, discounted cash flow method or other valuation techniques, including the use of market information available on the consolidated balance sheet date.

  • C. When evaluating non-standardized and less complex financial instruments, such as joint development projects, the Group adopts evaluation techniques widely used by market participants. The parameters adopted in the evaluation models of such financial instruments are usually market observable information.

  • The Group did not have any transfer between Levels 1 and 2 in 2024 and 2023.

  • The following table shows that there was no transfer in and transfer out of Level 3 in 2024 and 2023.

  • The Group is responsible for verifying the fair value of financial instruments, using independent source data to make the evaluation results close to the market status, confirming that the data source is independent, reliable, and other data sources Consistent and representative executable prices, and regularly calibrate the evaluation model, conduct backtesting, update the input values and data required for the evaluation model, and make any other necessary fair value adjustments to ensure that the evaluation results are reasonable.

  • The quantitative information of the significant unobservable input value and the sensitivity analysis of the change of the significant unobservable input value of the evaluation model used for the third-level fair value measurement items are as follows:
