Please refer to Notes 6(7) and 6(26) for details.

Responsibilities of management level and governance units for the parent company only financial statements

Management level is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by the Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for

~7~

assessing the ability of the Company to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to a going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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

Responsibilities of Auditor to Audit Parent Company Only Financial Statements

The purpose of our audit of the parent company only financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether there is any material misrepresentation in the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements. Misstatements may result from fraud or error. Misstatement of individual amounts or aggregated amounts is considered material if it can reasonably be expected to affect economic decisions made by users of the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or 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 Company’s internal control.

~8~

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

  2. 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 ASCENT DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD’ s 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 parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  3. Assess the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the parent company only financial statements properly represent relevant transactions and events.

  4. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

  5. The planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any

  6. 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 parent company only financial statements for the year 2022, 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

~9~

in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

(13)Classification criteria for current and non-current assets and liabilities

The Company is engaged in entrusting construction companies to construct 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:

The Company classifies all liabilities that do not meet the above conditions as non-current.

(14)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.

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

~21~

or losses are recognized in profit or loss.

  2. The Company adopts transaction-day accounting for financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive gains and losses that conform to transaction practices.

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

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 Company recognizes dividend income in profit or loss.

(17)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 Company adopts transaction-day accounting for financial assets at cost after amortization that comply with transaction practices.

  5. The Company 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.

  6. The time deposits held by the Company 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.

~22~

(18)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 Company measures them based on the original invoiced amount.

(19)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 Company 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.

(20)Delisting of financial assets

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

(21)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.

(22)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.

  2. 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 refers to the balance after deducting the estimated selling price in the normal course of business and the estimated cost to be invested in completion and related variable expenses.

~23~

(23)Investments/Subsidiaries and affiliates using the equity method

  1. The subsidiary refers to an entity controlled by the Company, when the firm 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, it shall be regarded that the Company is controlling the entity.

  2. The unrealized gains and losses arising from transactions between the Company and its subsidiaries have been eliminated. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries have been adjusted as necessary to be consistent with the policies adopted by the Company.

  3. The Company 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 Company and its subsidiaries as other comprehensive profit or loss. If the share of losses recognized by the Company for a subsidiary is equal to or exceeds the equity in the subsidiary, the Company will continue to recognize losses in proportion to its shareholding.

  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 being 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 Company 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 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 subsidiary is lost, the benefit or loss will be reclassified from equity to profit or loss.

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

  7. The Company 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 Company's share

~24~

of losses to any affiliated enterprise is equivalent to or exceeds its equity in the affiliated enterprise (including any other unsecured receivables), the Company will not recognize further losses unless the Company has any legal or constructive obligations to, or has paid on behalf of the affiliated enterprise.

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

  2. The unrealized gains and losses arising from transactions between the Company and affiliates 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. Necessary adjustments have been made to the accounting policies of the affiliate, which are consistent with the policies adopted by the Group.

  3. In the event that an affiliate issues new shares, and the Company 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 reduction ratio.

  4. According to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, the profit or loss and other comprehensive income or loss for the current period in the parent company only financial statement should be the same as the apportionment of profit or loss and other comprehensive income or loss attributable to the owners of the parent company in the financial statements prepared on a consolidated basis, and the owners' equity in the individual financial statements should be the same as the equity attributable to the owners of the parent company only financial statement prepared on the basis of consolidation.

(24)Joint Agreements

For the interests in joint operations, the Company 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 parent company only financial statement.

~25~

(25)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 assets or recognized as a separate asset only when the future economic benefits related to the project are likely to flow into the Company and the cost of the project 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 Company examines the residual value, service life and depreciation method of each asset at the end of each financial year. If the expected value of the residual value and service life is different from the previous estimate, or the future economic value contained in the asset If there is a significant change in the expected consumption pattern of benefits, it shall be handled in accordance with the accounting estimate change provisions of International Accounting Standard No. 8 "Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors" from the date of the change.

The useful lives of each asset are as follows:

Houses and buildings 8 to 20 years Office equipment 5 to 23 years

(26)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 Company. 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 Company'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

~26~

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.

  1. 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.

(27)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 the straight-line method according to the estimated service life which ranges from 8 to 60 years.

(28)Impairment of non-financial assets

On the date on the balance sheet, the Company 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 value. 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.

(29)Borrowings

Refers to short-term borrowings from banks. The Company 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.

(30)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 non-business matters.

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

~27~

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

(32)Employee benefits

  1. Short-term employee benefits

  3. Severance benefits

  4. 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 Company 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.

  5. Employees and directors remuneration

  6. 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.

(33)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 Company 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

~28~

operates and generates taxable income. The management level periodically assesses the status of income tax filings with respect to 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 parent company only 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), it will not be recognized. For temporary differences related to investment in subsidiaries and affiliated enterprises, if the Company 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.

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.

(36)Organizational restructuring under joint control

  1. According to the IFRS Q&A of "Accounting Concerns about Business Combinations under Joint Control" issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation on October 26, 2018, due to the International Financial Reporting Standard No. 3 "Business Combinations", there is no clear regulation on the merger of enterprises under joint control, so the accounting treatment of organizational reorganization within the group shall still apply the provisions of the relevant explanation letters issued in Taiwan. The book value method is adopted, and it is regarded as the restructuring of the previous financial statements from the beginning of the merger.

  2. In the third quarter of 2022, the Company acquired 33% of the equities of Hanlin Development Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Hanlin Development), a subsidiary of Hanshen Asset Management Co., Ltd. (the ultimate parent company of the Group), and obtained more than half of seats of its board of directors. Because this equity transaction is an organizational reorganization under common control, according to the ARDF official letter (2012) Ji Mi Zi No. 301, the Company considers that Hanlin Development has been merged from the beginning, and when recompiling the financial statements of previous years, it shall attribute the share of the equity originally belonged to the shareholders of Hanlin Development (Hanshin Asset Management Co., Ltd.) to the "equity owned by the previous holder under the joint control", and the share of profits and losses originally belonged to the shareholders of Hanlin Development (Hanshin Asset Management Co., Ltd.) shall attributed to the "net profit (loss) owned by the previous holder under the joint control".

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

When the Company prepared these parent company only 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

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 Company immediately assesses the impairment of the investment. The Company 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. On December 31, 2022, the Company's investment using the equity method after recognizing impairment losses was NT$1,319,796.

  1. In 2022, the Company assessed that the investment in Jollify4ever Ltd. using the equity
~37~

method had been impaired, so it recognized an impairment loss of NT$46,403 and listed it in "Other Gains and Losses".

  1. Jollify Creative, Ltd. handled a cash capital increase in September 2022. The Company did not subscribe according to the shareholding ratio, and hence the shareholding ratio of Jollify Creative, Ltd. decreased from 46.83% to 37.46%. The Company is the largest single shareholder of that company. Since other shareholders (non-related persons) have signed a shareholder agreement, it shows that the company has no actual ability to lead relevant activities, so it is judged that it has no control over the company and only has a significant influence.

  2. Jollify4ever Ltd. was split and reduced its capital by resolution of the extraordinary shareholders’ meeting in November 2021. Jollify4ever Ltd. split the business value of NT$80,000 to the newly established Jollify Creative, Ltd., and held it according to the shareholding ratio of the original shareholders. Therefore, the Company acquired 46.83% of equities of Jollify Creative, Ltd., making it the largest single shareholder of the company, because other shareholders (non-related parties) have signed a shareholder agreement, which shows that the Company has no actual ability to lead relevant activities, so it is deemed that it has no control over the company and only has a significant influence.

  • (2) The Company 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 control systems. During the execution of financial management activities, the Company shall faithfully comply with the relevant regulations on financial risk management.

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

  • Nature and extent of material financial risks

(1) Market risks

Interest rate risk

  • A. The Company is exposed to the exchange rate risk arising from transactions where the functional currency is different from the Company's functional currency, which is mainly USD. The associated exchange rate risk arises from future commercial trades and recognized assets and liabilities.

  • B. The management of the Company has formulated the policy to manage the exchange rate risk relative to its functional currency within the Company.

  • C. C. The business of the Company involves non-functional currency (the functional currency of the Company 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:

fluctuations are as follows:

  • D. The Company's monetary items have a significant impact due to exchange rate fluctuations. The total amount of all exchange benefits recognized in 2022 and 2021 (including realized and unrealized) is NT$2,835 and NT$172, respectively.

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

~55~

The exchange risk between USD and NTD mainly comes from US dollardenominated cash and equivalent cash and accounts receivable, etc., resulting in foreign currency exchange losses or gains during conversion. If holding NTD against USD depreciates or appreciates by 1% and all other factors remain unchanged, the net profit in 2022 and 2021 will increase or decrease by NT$290 and NT$296 respectively.

Price risk

  • A. The equity instruments of the Company exposed to price risk are financial assets at FVTOCI. In order to manage the price risk of equity instrument investment, the Company 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 Company mainly invests in equity instruments and beneficiary certificates issued by domestic companies. The prices of these equity instruments will be affected by the uncertainty of the future value of the investment target. If the value of the equity instruments and beneficiary certificates rises or falls by 1%, with all other factors remaining unchanged, the other comprehensive income in 2022 and 2021 is classified as equity investment at FVTOCI. The profit or loss increased or decreased by NT$813 and NT$1,109, respectively.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • A. The Company's interest rate risk mainly comes from short-term loans issued at floating interest rates, which exposes the Company to cash flow interest rate risk. In 2022 and 2021, the Company's borrowings at floating interest rates were mainly denominated in NTD.

  • B. When the interest rate on NTD borrowings increased or decreased by 1%, with all other factors remaining unchanged, the net income before tax in 2022 and 2021 would have decreased or increased by NT$10,935 and NT$6,078, respectively, mainly due to the floating interest rate borrowings The interest expense has changed accordingly.

  • (1) Credit risk

  • A. The credit risk of the Company is the risk of financial loss of the Company 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.

~56~
  • B. Each unit of the Company 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 Company's internal rating standards and other factors.

  • C. The Company's Finance and Accounting Department manages the credit risks of bank deposits, fixed-income securities and other financial instruments in accordance with the Company's policies. Because the Company's transaction partners are determined by internal control 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 Company is 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 and the ownership transfer is completed and the actual house is handed over. Hence, the amount of accounts payable arising from the sale of premises should be small, and the probability of irrecoverable is low. In addition, for the accounts receivable arising from other transactions, the Company 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 Company 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 Company 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 Company 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. The relevant information is as follows (no such situation on December 31, 2022):

(2) Liquidity risk

  • A. The cash flow forecast is executed and summarized by the Company's Finance Department. The Finance Department of the Company monitors the forecast of the Company's working capital needs to ensure that there are sufficient funds to meet the operating needs, and maintain sufficient undrawn commitments at all times to prevent the Company from breaching the relevant borrowing limits or terms. The forecast takes into account the Company's debt financing plan, compliance with the terms of the debt, and compliance with the financial ratio targets in the internal balance sheet.

  • B. The Company 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 following table categorizes the Company's non-derivative financial liabilities according to the relevant maturity date, and carries out analysis based on the remaining period from the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. Except for notes payable, accounts payable, other payables (including related parties) and deposits, the undiscounted contractual cash flow amount is approximately equivalent to its book value and is due within one year. The undiscounted contractual cash flow amounts of the remaining financial liabilities are detailed in the table below:

~58~

Non-derivative financial liabilities: December 31, 2022 Within 1 1-2 years 2 to 3 More than year years 3 years Short-term borrowings $ 115,147 $ 24,434 $ 285,612 $ 777,835 Lease liabilities 13 Non-derivative financial liabilities: December 31, 2021 Within 1 1-2 years 2 to 3 years More than 3 year years Short-term borrowings $ 10,984 $ 10,984 $248,884 $383,324 Lease liabilities 34 13

  • D. The Company 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.

The fair value of the listed/OTC stock invested by the Company belongs to this category.

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

Level 3: Unobservable inputs to assets or liabilities.
