Regarding building materials, with the development of new technologies, such as nano-technology building materials, green buildings, and the internet of things, the proportion of applications will gradually increase. The downstream is mainly composed of agencies and brokers.

Furthermore, they actively plan for the development and construction after the purchase is made.

(2) Construction management and rigorous quality

Prior to launching a project, the company has gone through prudent planning, perfect estimation of funds, and has maintained good credit with the bank. In order to control the quality of the construction, the company has chosen contractors that have professional technique and excellent construction equipment, and strictly controls the construction progress and product quality; therefore the company is able to meet the customer's expectations for timely completion and quality, thus creating stable profits.

  • Agency sales Being relatively conservative, the Sales are still focused on remaining houses currently.

    1. Long-term development plans:
  • (1) In the future, through in-depth exploration of project characteristics, we will create product value, enhance product differentiation and irreplaceability, improve the Company's brand value, and strengthen product quality and after-sales service, in order to achieve the Company's competitiveness in the construction market and further increase gross profit, thereby creating maximum profitability for the Company.

Please explain changes in financial ratios over the past 2 fiscal years(If the change is less than 20%, the analysis can be exempted):

(1) Long-term capital to property, plant, and equipment ratio: This is mainly due to the increase in non-current liabilities caused by the issuance of convertible bonds in 2021.

  • (2) Current ratio and quick ratio: This is mainly due to the decrease in current liabilities as a result of the issuance of convertible bonds, the repayment of bank loans in 2021, and the slight increase in cash and cash equivalents compared to the same period last year; in addition, receivables on buildings from customers of Mountain in the Cloud(Kang ChiaoAsahi Villa) project at the end of 2021 increased the closing receivables, as well as the increased current assets compared to the same period last year; as a result, both current ratio and quick ratio increased compared to last year.
  • (3) Times interest earned: The difference in interest expense between the two years was not significant, which was mainly due to the decrease in loss before tax in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020
  • (4) Receivables turnover(times) and Average collection days: This is mainly due to the increase in receivables at the end of the period due to the handover of properties to customers of Mountain in the Cloud(Kang ChiaoAsahi Villa) project and the sales service fee of the subsidiary at the end of 2021.
  • (5) Property, plant and equipment turnover(times):This is mainly due to the fact that some of the land was leased for the development of solar photovoltaic in 2021 and reclassified as investment property, resulting in a decrease in the amount of property, plant and equipment at the end of 2021.
  • (6) Return on assets and return on equity: This is mainly due to the decrease in loss in 2021 compared to 2020
  • (7) profit margin and EPS: This is mainly due to the increase in sales revenue recognized by the subsidiary in 2021 compared to 2020, resulting in higher gross profit in 2021 compared to the previous period, and lower operating expenses in 2021, resulting in a lower loss in 2021 compared to 2020.
  • (8) Cash flow ratio, cash flow adequacy ratio, and cash re-investment ratio: This is mainly due to the increase in net cash outflow from operating activities as compared to the same period last year caused by the increase in receivables on housing transactions from customers of the Mountain in the Cloud(Kang ChiaoAsahi Villa) project and the sales service fee of the subsidiary in 2021.
  • (9) Degree of operating leverage: This is mainly due to the increase in sales revenue recognized by the subsidiary in 2021 compared to 2020, resulting in higher gross profit in 2021 compared to the previous period, and lower operating expenses in 2021, resulting in a lower operation loss in 2021 compared to 2020.

(1) Long-term capital to property, plant, and equipment ratio: This is mainly due to the increase in non-current liabilities caused by the issuance of convertible bonds in 2021.

(2) Current ratio and quick ratio: This is mainly due to the decrease in current liabilities as a result of the issuance of convertible bonds, the repayment of bank loans in 2021, and the slight increase in cash and cash equivalents compared to the same period last year; in addition, receivables on buildings from customers of Mountain in the Cloud(Kang ChiaoAsahi Villa) project at the end of 2021 increased the closing receivables, as well as the increased current assets compared to the same period last year; as a result, both current ratio and quick ratio increased compared to last year.

(3) Times interest earned: The difference in interest expense between the two years was not significant, which was mainly due to the decrease in loss before tax in fiscal 2021 compared to fiscal 2020

(4) Receivables turnover(times) and Average collection days: This is mainly due to the increase in receivables at the end of the period due to the handover of properties to customers of Mountain in the Cloud(Kang ChiaoAsahi Villa) project at the end of 2021.

(5) Inventory turnover(times) and Days' sales in inventory: This is mainly due to the decrease in operating costs in 2021 compared to the same period last year.

(6) Payables turnover(times): This is mainly due to the decrease in operating costs in 2021 compared to the same period last year.

(7) Property, plant and equipment turnover(times):This is mainly due to the fact that some of the land was leased for the development of solar photovoltaic in 2021 and reclassified as investment property, resulting in a decrease in the amount of property, plant and equipment at the end of 2021.

(8) Total assets turnover(times): This is mainly due to the decrease in operating revenue in 2021 compared to the same period last year.

(9) Return on assets and return on equity: This is mainly due to the decrease in loss in 2021 compared to 2020

(10) Earnings per share: This is mainly due to the increase in sales revenue recognized by the subsidiary in 2021

compared to 2020, and lower operating expenses in 2021, resulting in a lower loss in 2021 compared to 2020. (11) Cash flow ratio, cash flow adequacy ratio, and cash re-investment ratio: This is mainly due to the increase in net cash outflow from operating activities as compared to the same period last year caused by the increase in receivables on housing transactions from customers of the Mountain in the Cloud(Kang ChiaoAsahi Villa) project in 2021.

(12) Degree of operating leverage: This is mainly due to the decrease in gross profit in 2021 compared to the previous period, resulting in an increase in operating loss in 2021 compared to 2020.

We are convinced that we have acquired enough and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis of audit opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are the matters of most significance based on our professional judgement and audits of Better Life Group's consolidated financial statements for 2021. These matters have been dealt with in the audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and during the process of forming the audit opinion. Hence, we do not issue opinions separately on such matters. Key audit matters of the parent company only financial statements of the Company are stated as follows:

I. Revenue recognition

Please refer to Note 4 (15) to the consolidated financial statements regarding the accounting policy of revenue recognition. Please refer to Note 6 (17) for the detailed breakdown of contract revenue.

Description:

The primary operating revenue for Better Life Group in 2021 were from the sale of real estate. The risk of material misstatement lies in the truthfulness of revenue. As operating revenue are concerned with the operating performance of management, it is possible that management seeks to achieve expected net profits with early or deferred operating revenue recognition and causes material misstatement of operating revenue. Hence, the testing of revenue recognition was one of the significant assessments for our audits of Better Life Group's financial statements.

Audit procedures

The audit procedures we have implemented for the specific aspects described in the abovementioned key audit matters include:

  • Performed a control test on sales and payment collection cycles to evaluate how the control prevents and detects errors and fraud in revenue recognition;
  • Performed a cut-off test on revenue from the sale of property to assess whether the revenue in the preceding paragraph is recognized in an appropriate period.
  • Substantive tests on revenue recognition by sampling and cross referencing the documents in relation to real estate sale contracts and property ownership registrations and by inspecting the sale system data and general ledger entries, in order to assess whether Better Life Group recognized revenue according to relevant standards and regulations.
  • II. Inventory valuation

Please refer to Note 4 (8) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy of inventory valuation. Please refer to Note 5 to the consolidated financial statements for the uncertainties in relation to the accounting estimates and assumptions of inventory valuation and to Note 6 (4) to the consolidated financial statements for inventory details.

Description:

Inventory is an important operating asset for Better Life Group. It accounted for approximately 58% of the total assets. Inventory valuation is based on International Financial Reporting Standards No. 2. The net realizable value of Better Life Group's inventory is based on future selling prices and construction costs estimated by management and subject to the influence of the political and economic environments. Inappropriate estimates of the net realizable value will result in a misstatement of financial reports. Hence, the testing of inventory valuation was one of the significant assessments for our audits of Better Life Group's financial statements. Audit procedures:

Our main inspection procedures on the above key audit matter include the acquisition of Better Life Group's data for estimates of the net realizable value of inventory, sampling of such data to check against the contracts sold, reference to the Ministry of Interior's most recently published actual transaction prices of real estate or the transaction prices in the same proximity so as to evaluate the next realizable value of properties available for sale. To assess whether the net realizable value of buildings under construction is reasonable, we sampled and inspected the returnon-investment analysis by the Company, compared the return-on-investment data and market prices and, where necessary, obtained the appraisal reports.

Other matters

Better Life Group Co., LTD. has prepared its parent company only financial statements for 2021 and 2020 and for which we have issued an audit report and an unqualified opinion.

Responsibility of management and those charged with governance for consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation of consolidated financial statements for fair presentation in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Management is also responsible for the maintenance of necessary internal control in relation to the preparation of consolidated financial statements, to ensure no material misstatement in consolidated financial statements due to frauds or errors.

When preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is also responsible for the assessment of Better Life Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosure of relevant matters and the adoption of the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate Better Life Group or cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) in Better Life Group are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Untruthful expressions might have been caused by frauds or errors. Misstatements individually or in aggregate are considered material, if they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements. We have utilized our professional judgment and maintained professional doubt when performing the audit work in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. We also performed the following tasks:

    1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements 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. Fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Therefore, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the one resulting from error.
    1. Obtain a necessary understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures appropriate to the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Better Life Group's internal control.
    1. Evaluated the adequacy of accounting policies adopted by the management and the reasonability of accounting estimates and related disclosures made.
    1. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Better Life Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists with such events or conditions, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inappropriate, to modify our opinion. Conclusions made by the CPAs are based on the audit findings obtained as of the date of audit report. However, future events or conditions may render Better Life Group unable to continue as a going concern.
    1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the notes, and whether the consolidated financial statements fairly represent the underlying transactions and events.
    1. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities 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 and for the forming of our audit opinion.

The matters communicated between us and the governing bodies included the planned scope and times of the audit and material audit findings (including any material defects in internal control identified during the audit).

We also provided the governing bodies with a declaration that we have complied with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China regarding independence and communicated with them all relations and other matters that may possibly be regarded as detrimental to our independence (including relevant protective measures).

We determined the key audit matters for Better Life Group's 2021 consolidated financial statements based on our communication with those charged with governance. We have clearly indicated such matters in the auditors' report. unless legal regulations prohibit the public disclosure of specific matters, or in extremely rare cases, where we decided not to communicate over specific items in the auditors' report for it could be reasonably anticipated that the negative effects of such disclosure would be greater than the public interest it brings forth.

II. The Authorization of Financial Statements

These consolidated financial statements were approved and published by the board of directors on March 16, 2022.

III. Application of New and Revised International Financial Reporting Standards

  • (I) Impact of adoption of new and revised standards and interpretations endorsed by the FSC The adoption of the following amended International Financial Reporting Standards by the consolidating company starting on January 1, 2021 does not have a material influence on the consolidated financial statements.
  • Amendments to IFRS 4 (Deferral of effective date of IFRS 9)
  • Interest Rate Benchmark Reform—Phase 2—Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16

The adoption of the following amended International Financial Reporting Standards by the consolidating company starting on April 1, 2021 does not have a material influence on the consolidated financial statements.

  • Amendment to IFRS 16 (COVID-19-Related Rent Concessions After June 30, 2021)
  • (II) Impact of not adopting the IFRSs endorsed by the FSC The consolidating company assesses that its adoption of the following amended International Financial Reporting Standards, effective on January 1, 2022 will not have a material influence on the consolidated financial statements.
  • Amendments to IAS 16 (Property, Plant and Equipment Proceeds before Intended Use)
  • Amendments to IAS 37 (Onerous Contracts Cost of Fulfilling a Contract)
  • Annual Improvements to IFRSs 2018-2020 Cycle
  • Amendments to IFRS 3 (Reference to the Conceptual Framework)

New and revised Effective date
standards Major revisions announced by IASB

(Classification of the application of the standard to assist

The consolidating company is continuing to assess the impact of the above standards and interpretations on its financial status and operating results and will disclose relevant influence once the assessment has been completed.

The consolidating company expects no material influence on the consolidated financial statements due to other newly published and amended standards yet to be recognized.

IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

The material accounting policies adopted for these consolidated financial statements are as follows. Except for the accounting changes explained in Note 3, the following accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the reporting periods in these consolidated financial statements.

(I) Statement of compliance

These consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers ("Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports) and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission ("international financial reporting standards recognized by the Financial Supervisory Commission").

(II) Basis of preparation

    1. Basis for measurement Except for the financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, these consolidated financial statements are based on historical costs.
    1. Functional currency and currency presented Each entity within the consolidating company uses the currency of the primary economic environment where operations are located as the functional currency. These consolidated financial statements are expressed in NT dollars, the functional currency of the Company. All financial information presented in NTD is in the unit of thousands of NTD.
  • (III) Basis of consolidation

1. Principles of consolidated financial statements preparation

These consolidated financial reports cover the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e., the subsidiaries). When the Company is exposed to the variable returns due to participation in the investee or has a claim to such variable returns and the Company can influence such returns by exercising power over the investee, the Company controls the entity.

The financials of a subsidiary are included in the consolidated financial statements from the day the control is obtained until the day the control is lost. The transactions, outstanding balances and any unrealized Income and expenses between and among consolidated companies are completely canceled out in the preparation of consolidated financial statements. The profits and losses of subsidiaries are accounted for the equity attributable to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interest. Even the non-controlling interest becomes negative as a result.

The financial statements of subsidiaries are appropriately adjusted so that the accounting policies are consistent with those adopted by the consolidating company.

The change of the consolidating company's ownership in any subsidiary not resulting in a loss of control in that subsidiary is recognized as equity transactions with the owners. The difference between the adjustment to non-controlling interest and the fair value paid or received is directly recognized as equity and attributable to the owner of the Company.

(IV) Foreign currencies

  1. Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. Foreign currency monetary items are translated into the functional currency according to the exchange rates on the final day of each reporting period ("the reporting day"). Non-monetary items measured at fair value are converted into the functional currency with the exchange rates on the day when the fair value is measured. Non-monetary items measured at historical costs are converted into the functional currency with the exchange rates on transaction day.

Foreign currency translation differences arising from those translations are normally recognized in profit or loss, except for the circumstances below where such differences are recognized in other comprehensive income:

  • (1) Equity instrument designated to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income;
  • (2) Financial liabilities designated as net investment hedge for foreign operations, which are within the effective scope of hedging; or
  • (3) Qualified cash flow hedge, which within the effective scope of hedging.
    1. Foreign operations

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill arising from acquisition and fair value adjustments, are translated into NTD at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date; income and expense items are translated into NTD at the average exchange rate of the current period. Resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

When the disposal of a foreign operation results in the loss of control, joint control, or material impact, the cumulative exchange differences related to the foreign operation are fully reclassified to profit or loss. In the event of a partial disposal of a subsidiary with foreign operations, the relevant cumulative exchange differences are re-attributed to noncontrolling interests on a pro-rata basis. In the event of a partial disposal of an investment involving an associate or a joint venture of a foreign operation, the relevant cumulative exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss on a pro rata basis.

If there is no repayment plan for the monetary receivables or payables of an foreign operation and it is impossible to settle the receivables or payables in the foreseeable future, the foreign exchange gains and losses incurred shall be regarded as a part of the net investment in the foreign operation and recognized in other comprehensive income.

(V) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; all other assets that are not current assets are classified as non-current assets:

    1. Assets expected to be realized or intended for sale or consumption within the normal business cycle (typically longer than one year for the construction business)
    1. Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
    1. Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date; or
    1. Cash or cash equivalents unless to be exchanged or used to repay liabilities or restricted in other ways in twelve months(at least) after the reporting period

Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; all other liabilities that are not current liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities:

    1. Expected to be repaid within the normal business cycle (typically longer than one year for the construction business)
    1. Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
    1. Liabilities expected to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date; or
    1. Liabilities with a repayment deadline that cannot be unconditionally deferred for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. However, the terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
  • (VI) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents refer to short-term and highly liquid investments that can be converted into a certain amount of cash at any time and the risk of value changes is very small. Time deposits that meet the aforementioned definition and whose purpose is to satisfy short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

(VII)Financial instruments

Accounts receivable and debt securities issued are initially recognized when incurred. Any other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the consolidating company becomes one of the contract parties for the financial instruments Financial assets (except receivables that do not contain significant financial components) or financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance. Accounts receivable that do not contain significant financial components are initially measured at transaction prices.

1. Financial assets

For the buying an selling transactions meet common trading practice. The consolidating company adopts consistent accounting treatments based on transaction days or settlement days for all the financial assets classified in the same way.

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at amortized cost and equity instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income upon initial recognition. The consolidating company only reclassifies the financial assets affected by the change of the way of managing the financial assets starting on the first day of the next reporting period. (1) Financial assets at amortized cost

If the financial assets are in alignment with the following criteria and not designated as at fair value through profit or loss, such assets are measured at amortized cost:

  • Held under a certain business model, of which the objective is to collect contractual cash flows by holding the financial assets.
  • The cash flows on specific dates specified in the contractual terms are solely payments for the principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Such assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost by the initially recognized amount,plus or less the amortization by the effective interest method using the effective interest method,and adjusted for the allowance for losses. Interest income, foreign exchange gains or losses, and impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Upon derecognition, the gain or loss is included in profit or loss.

(2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

The investment in debt instruments meeting the following conditions and not designated at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

  • Financial assets are held for the purpose of collecting contracted cash flows and for sale.
  • The cash flows on specific dates specified in the contractual terms are solely payments for the principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

The consolidating company may make an irrecoverable choice at the original recognition to designate the equity investment instruments not for trading to subsequently measure at fair value through other comprehensive income.The foregoing selection is made by per each instrument.

The equity investment instruments are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividend income (unless it clearly represents a recovery of part of the investment) is recognized in profit or loss. The remaining net gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income and is not to be reclassified to profit or loss.

Dividend Income of equity investments are recognized when the day the consolidating company becomes entitled to the dividends (usually the ex-dividend dates).

(3) Impairment of financial assets

The consolidating company recognizes allowance for losses for expected credit losses of financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents), note receivables, accounts receivables, other receivables, refundable deposits and other financial assets), debt investment instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and contract assets.

The allowance for losses for the financial assets below are measured at 12-month expected credit losses, and the allowance for losses for the rest are measured at the lifetime expected credit losses:

  • Debt securities are judged to be of low credit risk on the balance sheet date; and
  • The credit risk of other debt securities and bank deposits (i.e. the risk of default during the expected duration of the financial instruments) has not increased significantly since the initial recognition.

Allowance for losses on accounts receivable and contract assets are measured at lifetime expected credit losses.

In determining whether credit risks have significantly increased after initial recognition, the consolidating company takes into consideration reasonable and supportable information (available without excess risks or inputs), including qualitative and quantitative information, and the consolidating company's own experience, credit assessments and forward-looking information.

If the credit rating of a financial asset is equivalent to the investment grade globally designed (BBB- by S&P, Baa3 by Moody's or twA by Taiwan Ratings or better), the consolidating company considers the credit risk of the fixed income security is low.

If a contract payment is overdue for more than 30 days, the consolidating company assumes the credit risk of this financial asset has significantly increased.

If a contract payment is overdue for more than 360 days or the borrower is unlikely to honor the credit obligation to pay the full amount to the consolidating company, the consolidating company considers the financial asset is in default.

Lifetime expected credit losses refer to the expected credit losses arising from all possible default events during the expected duration of a financial instrument.

Twelve-month expected credit losses are expected credit losses on a financial instrument arising from possible default events within 12 months after the balance sheet date (or a shorter period if the expected duration of the financial instrument is less than 12 months).

The maximum period for measuring expected credit losses is the maximum contract period when the consolidating company is exposed to credit risks.

Expected credit losses are an estimate of weighted probability of credit losses over the expected lifetime of a financial instrument. Credit losses are measured at the present value of cash flow shortages, i.e., the difference between the cash flows collectable by the consolidating company according to contracts and the cash flows expected to be collected by the consolidating company. Expected credit losses are discounted at the effective interest rate on the financial asset.

The consolidating company assesses whether there are credit losses with the financial assets measured at amortized cost on each reporting day. A financial asset is creditimpaired when one or more events have occurred with an adverse effect on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset. Evidence that indicates a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the observable information below:

  • The borrower or issuer encountered significant financial difficulties;
  • Default, such as delayed or overdue payment for more than 360 days;
  • Concessions previously not considered but granted by the consolidating company to the borrower due to the borrower's economic or contractual reason caused by financial difficulties
  • The borrower is likely to file for bankruptcy or other financial restructuring; or
  • The active market for the financial asset disappears due to financial difficulties.

The allowance for losses for a financial asset measured at amortized cost is deducted from the carrying amount of the asset. The allowance for losses on investment in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income is with profit or loss adjusted and recognized in other comprehensive income (without reducing the carrying amount of the asset)

The consolidating company directly reduces the total carrying amount value of a financial asset when the recoverable amount of the financial asset in all or in part cannot be reasonably expected. Based on the experience of recovering similar assets, the consolidating company's policy with private customers is to write-off the entire carrying amount value of the financial asset overdue for more than 360 days. The consolidating company determines the timing and the amount of write-offs for corporate customers according to the individual analysis of reasonably expected recoverability. The consolidating company does not expect material reversals of written-off amounts. However, compulsory execution may still be sought for writtenoff financial assets, in line with the consolidating company's procedures in recovering overdue amounts.

(4) Derecognition of financial assets

The consolidating company can only derecognize a financial asset when the right to contracted cash flows from the asset terminates; or the financial asset has been transferred and almost full risks and returns of financial asset ownership have been transferred to other companies; or the asset has not been transferred but almost full risks and returns of ownership are not retained and the control over financial asset is not retained.

In the signing of a contract to transfer a financial asset, if all or almost full risks and returns of ownership of the transferred asset are retained, the asset will continue to be recognized on the balance sheet.

    1. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
  • (1) Classification of liabilities and equity

The debts and equity instruments issued by the consolidating company are recognized as financial liabilities or equity according to the substance of contracts and the definitions of financial liabilities and equity instruments.

(2) Equity transactions

Equity instruments refer to any contract that represents the remaining equity of the consolidating company after assets are deducted from liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the consolidating company are recognized at the amount of proceeds less direct issuance costs.

(3) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as those at amortized cost or at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified at fair value through profit or loss if they are held for trading, derivatives, or designated upon initial recognition. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and the relevant net gain and loss, including any interest expense, is recognized in profit or loss.

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss is also recognized in profit or loss upon derecognition.

(4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are recognized when the consolidating company's contractual obligations have been performed, canceled or expired. When the terms of financial liabilities are revised and the cash flow of the revised liabilities is significantly different, the initial financial liabilities are derecognized, and new financial liabilities are recognized at fair value as per the revised terms.

When a financial liability is derecognized, the difference between its carrying amount and the total consideration paid or payable (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

(5) Offset of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities can only be recognized on the balance sheet with the net value after netting off when the consolidating company has the legal right to exercise the netting off, and has the intention to deliver at the net value or concurrently realizes the asset to pay off the liabilities.

(VIII) Inventory

The initial cost of inventories is the expenditure necessary to bring inventories to a condition and location ready for sale or construction. Development costs of property include construction, land, borrowing, and project costs incurred during the development period. Upon completion, the construction in progress will be reclassified to the buildings and land held for sale, and the operating costs will be reclassified as per the proportion of sales to the development costs of the property. Subsequently, it will be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. When the cost of inventory is higher than the net realizable value, the cost should be written down to the net realizable value, and the amount written down should be recognized in cost of sales in the current period. The methods for determining the net realizable value are as follows:

    1. Construction land: Net realizable value is calculated based on replacement cost or estimated selling price (as per the market condition at the time) less estimated selling expenses.
    1. Construction in progress: The net realizable value is calculated based on the estimated selling price (according to the market condition at the time) less the costs and selling expenses required till completion.
    1. Buildings and land held for sale: Net realizable value is calculated based on estimated selling price (as per the market condition at the time) less estimated selling expenses.

(IX) Investment property

Investment property refers to property held for earning rents or asset appreciation or both, but not for sale, production, provision of goods or services, or for administrative purposes in normal business activities. Investment properties are measured initially at costs and subsequently with costs less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairments.The depreciation methods, service lives and residuals are accounted for in the same way as for property, plant and equipment.

Gains or losses from disposal of investment properties are recognized as profits or losses (at the difference between the net proceeds and the carrying amounts of the properties).

Rent income from investment property is recognized in operating income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease incentives are recognized as part of the rent income over the lease term.

  • (X) Property, plant and equipment
    1. Recognition and measurement

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost (including capitalized borrowing costs) less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment.

When the useful lives of material components of property, plant and equipment are different, they are treated as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is recognized as profit or loss.

    1. Subsequent cost Subsequent expenses are only capitalized when future economic benefits are likely to flow into the consolidating company.
    1. Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated at the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each component. Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful life for the current and comparative periods are as follows: Leasehold improvement 5 years

The consolidating company reviews depreciation methods, service lives and residual values on each reporting day and makes appropriate adjustments when necessary.

  1. Reclassification to investment property

When the property for self-use is changed into investment property, the property is reclassified as investment property at the carrying amount upon the change of use.

(XI) Lease

The consolidating company assesses whether a contract is about or including leasing on the day when the contract is established. If the contract entails the transfer of the control for use of the identifiable asset over a period of time for specific compensation, the contract is about or including leasing.

  1. Lessee

The consolidating company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities on the day when the lease commences. Right-of-use assets are measured initially at costs. The costs include the original measured value of the lease liabilities. These are adjusted with any lease payments at or before the commencement of the lease, added with any initial direct cost incurred and the estimated cost in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site it is located or restoring the underlying asset and less any lease incentive received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term, whichever is earlier. Meanwhile, the consolidating company periodically assesses whether the right-of-use assets are impaired and handles any impairment losses already incurred. Adjustments to the right-of-use assets are made when the lease liabilities are remeasured.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. If it is easy to ascertain the interest rate implicit in the lease, the discount rate shall be that interest rate. If it is not easy to ascertain the interest rate, the consolidating company's incremental borrowing rate shall be used. In general, the consolidating company uses the incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate. Lease payments included in the lease liability measurement include:

  • (1) Fixed payments, including substantive fixed payments;
  • (2) The lease payment depends on the change in an index or rate, and the index or rate on the lease commencement date is adopted for the initial measurement;
  • (3) The residual value guarantee amount expected to be paid; and
  • (4) The exercise price or penalty to be paid when it is reasonably ascertain that the purchase or lease termination will be executed.

Interest on lease liabilities is subsequently accrued using the effective interest method, and the amount is re-measured under each of the circumstances below:

  • (1) Changes in the index or rate used to determine lease payments result in changes in future lease payments;
  • (2) There is a change in the residual value guarantee amount expected to be paid;
  • (3) There is a change in the evaluation of the option of purchasing the asset;
  • (4) A change in the evaluation of whether to extend or terminate a lease has resulted in a change in the evaluation of the lease term;
  • (5) The subject leased, scope of lease, or other terms are modified.

When the lease liability is re-measured due to the aforementioned changes in the index or rate used to determine the lease payment, changes in the residual value guarantee amount, and changes in the evaluation of the purchase, extension, or termination, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is adjusted accordingly. When the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero, the remaining remeasured amount is recognized in profit or loss.

For lease modifications with a reduced scope of the lease, the carrying amount of the rightof-use asset is reduced to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and the difference between said amount and the remeasured amount of the lease liability is recognized in profit or loss.

The consolidating companies present the right-of-use assets and lease liabilities not meeting the definition for investment properties separately on the balance sheet.

The consolidating companies choose not to recognize the short-term leases of houses, buildings and transportation equipment and low-value underlying assets as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities. Payments for such leases are expensed with the straight line method during the lease periods.

  1. Lessor

If the consolidating company is the lessor, the lease contract will be classified on the lease inception date according to whether almost full risks and returns of the underlying asset ownership are transferred. If yes, it is classified as a finance lease. If not, it is an operating lease. During assessments, the consolidating company should take into consideration metrics such as whether the lease period covers the main part of the economic lives of underlying assets.

If the consolidating company is an intermediate lessor, the head lease and the sublease are accounted for separately. The right-of-use asset created by the head lease is used for the classification of the sublease. If a headlease is a short-term lease to which recognition exemption applies, the sublease transaction derived therefrom should be classified as an operating lease.

For those contracts contains lease and nonlease components,the consolidating company adopts International Financial Reporting Standards No. 15 for the separation of a contract into lease and nonlease components.

(XII) Intangible assets

  1. Recognition and measurement

Other intangible assets (including computer software) the consolidating company acquires with a definite service life

are measured at costs less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairments.

  1. Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only to the extent that the future economic benefits of a specific asset will increase. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  1. Amortization

Amortization is calculated at the cost of the asset less the estimated residual value and is recognized in profit or loss using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life from when an intangible asset becomes available for use.

The estimated useful life for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Computer software 3 years

The consolidating company reviews amortization methods, service lives and residual values on each reporting day and makes appropriate adjustments when necessary.

(XIII) Impairment of non-financial assets

The consolidating company assesses on each reporting day where there is an indication of impairments to the carrying amount of non-financial assets. The Company estimates the recoverable amount of such assets with a sign of impairment. Impairment tests are conducted on goodwill each year.

Impairment testing aims at the smallest identifiable group of assets that

generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows

from other assets or groups of assets. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount is the higher of the fair value of the individual asset or cash-generating unit less cost of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects present market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cashgenerating unit.

An impairment loss is recognized when the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cashgenerating unit is lower than the carrying amount thereof.

An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The carrying amount of goodwill allocated for the cash-generating unit is reduced first. Then the carrying amounts of other assets in the cash-generating unit are reduced pro rata.

Goodwill impairment losses are not reversed. Non-financial assets other than goodwill are reversed only when it does not exceed the carrying amount (less depreciation or amortization) that would have been determined if such assets had not been recognized for impairment losses in prior years.

(XIV) Provision for warranty liability

Liability reserves are recognized for present obligations due to past events. In this instance, the consolidating company is likely to be required to repay the obligation with an outflow of assets with economic benefits and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. The

provision is discounted at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability, and the amortization of the discount is recognized in interest expense.

Provision for warranty liability is recognized when goods or services are sold and is measured based on historical warranty information and all probable outcomes weighted by respective probabilities.

(XV) Revenue recognition

  1. Revenue from customer contracts

Revenue is measured as the consideration to which the transfer of goods or services is expected to be entitled. Income are recognized by the consolidating company when the control of products or services is transferred to customers and the contractual obligation is performed. The consolidating company's primary Income are as follows:

(1) Land development and property sales

The consolidating company develops and sells residential properties and often performs pre-sale during or before construction.The consolidating company recognizes Income when the control of properties is transferred. Due to contracted restrictions, such properties typically serve no other purposes to the consolidating company. However, only after the legal ownership of properties has been transferred to customers can the consolidating company access the funds for the completed contracts. Hence, the consolidating company recognizes Income when the legal ownership of properties is transferred to customers or the properties are handed over. Revenue is measured at the transaction price in the contractual agreement. If it is a sale of a finished property project, the consideration, in most cases, can be collected when the legal ownership of property is transferred. In a few cases, the payment can be deferred as per the contractual agreement but cannot be deferred for over 12 months. Thus, transaction prices are not adjusted to reflect the effect of significant financial components. In the case of a pre-sale property project, the payment is usually collected in installments during the period from when the contract is signed to when the property is transferred to a customer. If the contract contains a significant financial component, the transaction price is adjusted as per the borrowing rate for the project during said period to reflect the effect of time value of money. Advance receipts are recognized in contract liabilities, and interest expenses and contract liabilities are recognized when it is determined that the effect of the time value of money needs to be adjusted. The cumulative contract liabilities are reclassified to revenue when the property is transferred to a customer.

Some contracts include multiple items to be delivered, such as the sale of residential property and interior design services, which are regarded as a separate performance obligation and the transaction price is amortized on a stand-alone selling price basis. If no directly observable price is available, the stand-alone selling price is estimated based on expected cost plus margin. The interior design service is recognized in revenue when the service is completed.

(2) Real estate agency services

The consolidating company serves as a real estate agency to sell properties for external parties. Relevant Income are recognized during the financial reporting period when the service is rendered. Service Income under fixed-price contacts are recognized according to services actually provided as of the reporting date. Contracts include fixed and variable prices. Customers pay fixed amounts according to contracted schedules. Certain variable fees (such as bonuses above the threshold) are estimated

with the most likely amounts. The consolidating company only recognizes Income within the range where the accumulated Income are highly unlikely to be significantly reversed. If the income recognized is not yet invoiced, a corresponding contract asset is recognized. When there is an unconditional right to the amount, the contract asset is transferred to the account receivable.

Customers pay the fixed amounts according to agreed schedules. When the service rendered exceeds the paid amount, a contract asset is recognized. When the paid amount exceeds the service rendered, a contract liability is recognized.

When the consolidating company expects the unavoidable cost for performing the obligation of a service contract exceeds the economic benefit from the contract, a liability reserve is recognized for the loss-making contract.

(3) Construction supervision services

The consolidating company provides construction supervision services for the construction of solar generation equipment and recognizes relevant Income for such services during the reporting periods. Income recognition under fixed-price contracts is based on the services rendered and the contract performance obligation met already as of the reporting date or based on the services already rendered as a percentage of total services expected.

If the circumstance changes, the estimates of Income, costs and degrees of completion will be modified and the resulting increase/decrease will be reflected in profit or loss during the period when management becomes aware of circumstance changes.

Under the fixed price contracts, customers pay fixed amounts according to agreed schedules. When the service rendered exceeds the paid amount, a contract asset is recognized. When the paid amount exceeds the service rendered, a contract liability is recognized.

(4) Management services

The consolidating company offers hotel management services. Profit or loss and fixed management fees are recognized each quarter according to contracts during the period of hotel management. If the income recognized is not yet invoiced, a corresponding contract asset is recognized. When there is an unconditional right to the amount, the contract asset is transferred to the account receivable.

Customers pay the fixed amounts according to agreed schedules. When the service rendered exceeds the paid amount, a contract asset is recognized. When the paid amount exceeds the service rendered, a contract liability is recognized.

  • (5) Significant financing component Advance real estate receipts
  • Revenue is measured at the transaction price in the contractual agreement. If it is a sale of a finished property project, the consideration, in most cases, can be collected when the legal ownership of property is transferred. In a few cases, the payment can be deferred as per the contractual agreement but cannot be deferred for over 12 months. The payments for pre-sale real estate projects are typically collected in installments during the period from contract signing to property transfer to customers. The consolidating company assesses whether the promised price is different from the sold price for each contract and whether the prepayment collected contains financing elements. Prepayments are collected by the consolidating company to provide guarantee in contract performance by customers. As the purpose is for the consolidating company to mitigate the risks and compensations required for reselling in case of the customer's not fulfilling the contract, it is not a significant financing

component obtained mainly from customers. Thus, the time value of money of the transaction consideration is not adjusted.

    1. Cost of customer contracts
  • (1) Incremental cost of obtaining contracts

If the consolidating company expects to recover the incremental cost of obtaining contracts, the cost is recognized as an asset. Incremental costs of obtaining a contract are costs incurred when a customer contract is obtained that would not have been incurred if the contract had not been obtained. Costs of obtaining a contract that will be incurred regardless of whether the contract is obtained are recognized in expenses when incurred, unless such costs are clearly chargeable to customers regardless of whether a contract has been obtained.

The consolidating company recognizes the incremental cost of obtaining contracts expected to recover through real estate marketing activities as an asset and applies systematic amortization consistent with transfer of pre-sale properties to customers.

(2) Cost of fulfilling contracts

If the cost of fulfilling the contract is not covered by standards such as International Accounting Standards (IAS) 2 Inventories, IAS 16 Property, Plant and Equipment, or IAS 38 Intangible Assets, the consolidating company only recognizes such cost as an asset when the cost is directly related to a contract or a specific identifiable expected contract, may generate or enhance the resource to be used in fulfilling (or continuing to fulfill) contract obligations and is expected to be recovered. General and administrative costs; raw materials, labor or other resource costs wasted for contract fulfillment but not reflected on contract prices; costs related to performed (or partially performed) contract obligations; and costs not identifiable as to contract obligations not yet performed or performed (or partially performed) are recognized as expenses when incurred.

(XVI) Government subsidies

When relevant government subsidies can be received without terms attached, the consolidating company recognizes the subsidies as other gains. When government subsidies in relation to assets can be received with the attached terms the consolidating company can reasonably believe it will adhere to, the subsidies are recognized at fair value as deferred Income and systematically converted to other gains within the service life of the assets. The government subsidies in compensation for the expense or loss incurred by the consolidating company are systematically recognized in profit and loss in conjunction with the corresponding expenses.

(XVII) Employees' benefits

    1. Defined contribution plan Contribution obligations to the defined contribution plan are recognized in expenses in the period during which the employee provides service.
    1. Short-term employee benefits Short-term employee benefits are recognized as expenses when the relevant services are provided. If the services already provided by employees constitute the consolidating company a current statutory or presumed payment obligation and such obligation can be reliably estimated, the amount is recognized as a liability.

(XVIII) Income taxes

Income tax includes current income and deferred taxes. Current income tax and deferred tax are recognized in profit or loss, except in relation to business combinations or items directly recognized in equity or other comprehensive income.

Current income tax includes the expected income tax payable or tax refund receivable based on the taxable income (loss) for the year and any adjustments to income tax payable or tax refund receivable in prior years. The amount is the best estimate of the amount expected to be paid or received based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date.

Deferred tax is recognized based on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of an asset and liability for financial reporting purposes and its tax bases. Temporary differences arising from the circumstances below are not recognized in deferred tax:

    1. Assets or liabilities are initially recognized for a transaction that is not a business combination, and such assets or liabilities does not affect accounting profit and taxable income (loss) at the time of the transaction;
    1. Temporary differences due to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures, the timing of reversal of such temporary differences controlled by the consolidating company and the reversal unlikely to be in the foreseeable future; and
    1. Taxable temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of goodwill.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rate at which the temporary difference is expected to reverse, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, with tax-related uncertainties reflected.

The consolidating company only offsets deferred income tax assets and deferred income tax liabilities when the following conditions are met at the same time:

    1. Has the statutory enforcement power to offset current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities; and
    1. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are related to one of the following taxpayers with income tax levied by the same tax authority:
  • (1) The same taxpayer; or
  • (2) Different taxpayers but each taxpayer intends to settle the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or to realize both in each future period, in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets are expected to be recovered and deferred tax liabilities are expected to be settled.

Unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilized, as well as deductible temporary differences are recognized in deferred tax assets. It is reassessed at each balance sheet date to reduce the relevant income tax benefits to the extent that it is not probable that they will be realized; or to reverse the previously reduced amount to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be available.

(XIX) Earnings per share

The consolidating company presents the basic earnings per share and the diluted earnings per share attributable to shareholders of its common stocks. The basic earnings per share of the consolidating company are calculated with the profit or loss attributable to holders of the company's common shares divided by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by having the profit or loss attributable to the equity holders of the Company's common shares and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of all potential dilutive common shares. The potential dilutive common shares of the consolidating company include convertible corporate bonds.

(XX) Department information

Operating departments as the segments of the consolidating company are engaged in operating activities that generate Income and incur expenses (including the Income and expenses with

the consolidating company's other segments). The operating results of all operating departments are reviewed periodically by key decision-makers of the consolidating company, in order to formulate decisions on resource allocations and evaluate the performance of individual departments. All operating departments have independent financial information.

V. Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation and Uncertainty

When preparing these consolidated financial statements according to the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports and the International Financial Reporting Standards endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission, management must make judgements, estimates and assumptions. Such judgements, estimates and assumptions have influence on the adoption of accounting policies and the reported numbers of assets, liabilities, Income and expenses. Actual results may differ from estimates.

The management continues to review estimates and basic assumptions, and changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which they are changed and future periods affected.

Accounting policy involved material judgements and significant influence on recognized numbers in these consolidated financial statements: none

The uncertainties in the following assumptions and estimates with significant risks of causing the carrying amount of assets and liabilities to be adjusted significantly in the next fiscal year and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been reflected. The relevant information is as follows:

Inventory valuation

Inventory is recognized at the lower of costs or net realizable values.

    1. Ownership transfer and acquisition of certain agricultural land is only possible after the change of land use according to law. Hence, some land was registered under personal names. An authorization agreement and a trust contrast have been signed with the nominee account holder for the land registration. The land will be transferred to the consolidating company at the right time. Said agricultural land has been partially reclassified to investment property.
    1. Reclassification to investment property

The consolidating company entered a land lease contract with the lessee on November 25, 2021 for the development of a solar farm. Upon the change of this property use, the carrying amount was reclassified into an investment property. As the fair value was higher than the carrying amount on the day of land use change, the previously recognized impairment was reversed for NT\$11,787 thousand. The fair value was estimated primarily with the comparison method and supported by the analysis of land development. Based on the prices of underlying properties for the comparison, analysis and adjustment were made. This is a Level 3 fair value.

(VII)Investment property

Investment properties include the land the consolidating company rents out to the lessee via an operating lease. The initial period of the leased investment property is 20 years. At the end of a lease term, the Company will negotiate subsequent lease terms with a lessee.

The change in the consolidating company's investment properties in 2021 is as follows:

The fair value of investment property is based on independent appraisers' valuation (who possess relevant recognized professional qualifications and recent experience related to the investment property valuated in terms of location and type). The input used in the fair value valuation technique is level 3 input.

To enhance the benefits of land use, the consolidating company decided to rent out the land for the installation of solar generation systems. Hence, this property was transferred from "property, plant and equipment" into "investment property" (Note 6 (6)). Said lease contract includes the initial lease term, and the subsequent lease term is negotiated with the lessee, and no contingent rent is charged.

Please refer to Note 8 for the pledged on the consolidating company's investment properties as collateral.

Please refer to Note 6(3) for the information on notes receivable, accounts receivable, and impairment thereof.

NT\$500 thousand and NT\$6,565 thousand were recognized as Income for 2021 and 2020, respectively,

from the opening balance of contract liabilities on January 1, 2021 and 2020.

The change in contract liabilities is primarily due to the timing difference between the consolidating company's transfer of goods or services to customers to fulfill contract obligations (i.e. recognition of Income from contract liabilities) and the payment from customers. The refunds were NT\$0 and NT\$2,576 thousand and the transfer into default penalty Income was NT\$0 and NT\$765 thousand in 2021 and 2020, respectively, due to the cancelation of contracts by customers and the resulting change in contract liabilities.

(XVIII) Remunerations to employees and directors

According to the Company's Articles of Incorporation, no less than 4% and no more than 4% of any profits for the year should be distributed as employees' remuneration and directors' remuneration, respectively. However, when the Company still has a cumulative deficit, it shall reserve an amount in advance to compensate it. The subjects for the issuance of remunerations may include employees of a holding or subordinate company satisfy certain criteria, and the board of directors is authorized to specify such criteria.

The Company reported losses before tax in both 2021 and 2020 and hence there was no need to distribute remunerations to employees or directors. Relevant information is available at the Market Observation Post System.

(XX) Financial instruments

    1. Credit risk
  • (1) Maximum exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.

(2) Credit concentration risk

The consolidating company has a wide clientele, without trading significantly concentrated with a single customer. Hence, the credit risk of accounts receivable is not significantly concentrated.

(3) Credit risk of receivables and debt securities

Please refer to Note 6 (3) for credit risk exposure of notes receivable and accounts receivable.

Other financial assets measured at amortized cost include other receivables (other financial assets – current). All the aforesaid financial risks have low credit risks and hence the loss allowance is measured with the 12-month expected credit loss. (Please refer to Note 4 (7) for how the consolidating company determines low credit risks.)

The consolidating company does not expect the timing of cash flows to be significantly early or the amount to be significantly different from the maturity analysis.

  1. Interest rate analysis

Interest rate exposure of the consolidating company's financial assets and financial liabilities is explained in this note on liquidity risk management.

The sensitivity analysis below is based on the exposure of derivative and non-derivative instruments to interest rate risk at the balance sheet date. For floating-rate liabilities, the analysis is based on an assumption that the amount of a liability outstanding at the balance sheet date is outstanding throughout the year. The consolidating company's internal reporting to management regarding interest rates is based on 1% increase or decrease. It also represents the management's assessment of the possible and reasonable range of changes in interest rates.

All other variables being equal, any 1% increase (decrease) in interest rates would result in a decrease (increase) by NT\$3,379 thousand and NT\$5,711 thousand in the consolidating company's earnings before tax in 2021 and 2020, respectively. This would be primarily due to the consolidation of company loans in variable interest rates.

    1. Information on fair value
  • (1) Valuation process of fair value of financial instruments

The consolidating company's accounting policies and disclosure include financial and non-financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value. The consolidating company establishes relevant internal control systems for the measurement of fair values. Of them, a valuation team has been established to be responsible for reviewing all significant fair value measurements (including Level 3 fair value) and reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer. The team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and adjustments. If an input used to measure fair value is based on external third-party information (such as a broker or pricing service institution),

the valuation team will assess the evidence provided by the third party in support of the input to confirm that the valuation and its fair value level are aligned with the requirements of IFRS.

In the measurement of assets and liabilities, the consolidating company uses inputs observable from the market as much as possible. The fair value levels are based on the inputsused in the valuation techniques and are classified as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
  • Level 3 inputs are not based on observable inputs (unobservable inputs) for the asset or liability.
  • (2) Types and fair values of financial instruments

The consolidating company measures recurring fair values of the financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive Income. The carrying amounts and the fair values of all types of financial assets and financial liabilities are listed below: (including fair value levels) (It is not necessary to disclose fair value information if the carrying amount of a financial instrument is not measured at fair value is a reasonable approximation of fair value and if it is a lease liability.)

(3) Fair value valuation techniques for financial instruments not at fair value

The methods and assumptions used by the consolidating company for the instruments not measured at fair value are as follows:

(3.1) Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost

If there is information on quoted prices from transactions or market makers, the latest transaction price and quoted price should be adopted as the basis for valuating the fair value. If there is no information on market prices for reference, the valuation method is adopted for estimation. The estimates and assumptions used in the valuation method are the discounted value of cash flows to estimate the fair value.

  • (4) Fair value valuation techniques for financial instruments at fair value
  • (4.1) Non-derivative financial instruments

When a financial instrument is quoted in an active market, the quoted price in the active market is the fair value. Market prices of liquid securities on major exchanges and the prices published by the trading center of central government bonds are the basis for fair values of equity instruments listed on TWSE/TPEx and fixed income instruments with active markets and open quotes.

A financial instrument is deemed to be with quoted prices in the active markets if its quoted prices can be obtained from exchanges, brokers, underwriters, industry associations, pricing services institutions, or competent authorities in a timely and regular manner, and the prices represent the prices in actual fair market transactions that occur frequently. If the above criteria are not met, the market is deemed inactive. Generally speaking, a large bid-ask spread, a significant increase in the bid-ask spread, or a low trading volume are all indicators of an inactive market.

Except for the above financial instruments with active markets, the fair values of other financial instruments are obtained through valuation techniques or with reference to the quoted prices by counterparties. The fair value obtained through valuation techniques may be calculated and obtained with reference to the present fair value of other financial instruments with substantively similar criteria and characteristics, discounted cash flow method, or other valuation techniques, including the use of models based on market information available at the balance sheet date.

If there is no active market for the financial instruments held by the consolidating company, the asset-based approach is used for the estimation of fair values of equity instruments without open quoted prices according to different categories and characteristics. The primary assumptions are based on the balance sheet of investees. The estimate has been adjusted for the effect of the discount on the control premium and liquidity of the equity securities.

(7) Quantitative information on measurement of significant unobservable fair value input (Level 3)

The consolidating company's level 3 fair value measurements are primarily for financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income – equity securities investment.

Most of the fair values classified as level 3 by the consolidating company only contain single, material and unobservable inputs. Only the equity instruments without an active market depend on multiple material and unobservable inputs. Significant

unobservable inputs for investments in equity instruments with no active market are independent of each other and therefore do not correlate.

(8) Analysis of sensitivity of Level 3 fair value to reasonably possible alternative assumptions

The consolidating company's fair value measurements of financial instruments are reasonable. However, the use of different valuation models or parameters may result in different valuation outcomes. For financial instruments classified as Level 3, if the valuation parameters change, the effect on the current profit or loss or other comprehensive income is as follows:

The favorable and unfavorable movements referred to by the consolidating company indicate the volatility of fair values. Fair values are calculated with valuation techniques with different levels of unobservable inputs. If the fair value of a financial instrument is affected by more than one input, the above table only reflects the effect of changes in a single input without taking into account the correlation and variability between the inputs.

(XXI) Financial risk management

  1. Summary

The consolidating company is exposed to the following risks due to the use of financial instruments:

  • (1) Credit risk
  • (2) Liquidity risk

(3) Market risk

This note represents the consolidating company's exposure to the aforesaid risks, as well as its target, policy and procedures for measuring and managing these risks. Please refer to individual notes to the consolidated financial statements for further quantitative disclosure.

  1. Risk management framework

The board of directors is fully responsible for the establishment and supervision of the consolidated company's risk management structure. The board of directors has fully authorized the management of the development and control of the consolidating company's risk management policy. Management is required to report periodically to the board accordingly.

The consolidating company's risk management policies are put in place to identify and analyze the risks the consolidating company is faced with, set up appropriate risk limits and control, monitor risks and supervise the compliance with risk limits. Risk management policies and systems are periodically reviewed, to reflect market conditions and the change in the consolidating company's operation. The consolidating company develops a disciplined and constructive control environment through training, management guidelines and operational procedures, so that all employees understand their roles and obligations.

The Audit Committee of the consolidating company oversees how management monitors the compliance of risk management policies and procedures and reviews the appropriateness of the consolidating company's risk management structure in relation to risks it faces. Internal auditors assist the Audit Committee of the consolidating company in the oversight. These personnel conduct regular and exception reviews of risk management controls and procedures and report the review results to the Board and Audit Committee.

  1. Credit risk

Credit risks are the risks of financial losses due to customers or counterparties in financial instrument transactions unable to fulfill contractual obligations and mainly come from the consolidating company's accounts receivable.

(1) Accounts receivable and other receivables

The internal control system of the consolidating company has established a credit policy. The consolidating company adheres to this policy by individually analyzing new customers and assigning credit ratings before providing standard terms and conditions in payments and delivery. The review and control mechanism of the consolidating company consists of the record of customers' transactions and communication with banks regarding external ratings. Maximum procurement amounts are set on a customer-by-customer basis and represent the maximum outstanding amount that does not require the management team's approval. Such maximum amounts are under regular review.

The consolidating company has a wide clientele and a diversified geographic market for its construction business. There is no significant concentration in transactions with a single customer. Credit risks of accounts receivable are not significantly

concentrated either. Most of the dealings for real estate development and sales are for private individuals. Payment collections are primarily via remittances, checks and mortgage loans. Therefore, relevant credit risks are relatively low.

Meanwhile, the consolidating company adheres to the internal regulations on engineering contracting construction works. The contractors are all reputable companies meeting the requirements for construction techniques. Therefore, the consolidating company can stay on top of construction quality and progress. If necessary, contractors are required to deposit guarantees to ensure construction quality. Other receivables are mainly from land owners and other joint developers. Debtors are assessed to have the repayment capability. Hence, there are no material credit risks with the consolidating company's other receivables.

(2) Investment

The credit risks associated with bank deposits, fixed income investments and other financial instruments are measured and monitored by the finance department of the consolidating company. For transactions and contract performance, the consolidating company deals with reputable banks, financial institutions and companies rated as investment grade and government agencies. Hence, there are no material risks in contract performance or credit risks.

(3) Guarantee

Please refer to Note 13 for the mutual endorsements and guarantees in 2021 and 2020 as required by the contracts between the consolidating company and joint builders for joint investment, construction or development.

  1. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risks refer to the risks of the consolidating company being unable to pay in cash or with other financial assets to repay financial liabilities or fulfill relevant obligations. The consolidating company manages liquidity in order to ensure, as much as possible, sufficient and liquid capital to fund debts due in general and stressed circumstances, so that there will be no unacceptable loss or reputation risks to the consolidating company.

For each development project, the consolidating company calculates the cost and the capital required, installment payments from customers before delivery, and construction financing from banks, in order to properly plan for payments and receipts and ensure adequate working capital to fund the debts due. The funding required for project development and construction is partially reliant on bank loans. Upon the ownership transfer to customers, most of the payments are from mortgage loans. Hence, the consolidating company is unlikely to incur material losses or reputation risks.

  1. Market risk

Market risks refer to the risks of price changes (e.g., exchange rates, interest rates, prices of equity instruments) that may affect the consolidating company's Income or values of financial instruments held. The purpose of market risk management is to control the exposure to market risks within a range of tolerance and optimize return on investment. The consolidating company does not engage in transactions of financial instruments (including derivatives) for the purpose of speculation.

(1) Exchange rate risk

The Group's functional currency is mainly in NTD. The Company's main business transactions (including receivables, payables, loans, or financing) are mainly denominated in NTD, so there is no risk of significant fluctuations in foreign exchange rates.

(2) Interest rate risk

The consolidating company's management reviews and controls the optimal blended interest rate of financial liabilities, in order to manage the risks of interest rate fluctuations.

The consolidating company's interest rate risks are mainly from its bank loans. According to the consolidating company's assessment of its business environment, the interest rates over recent years have been relatively stable. Hence, material interest rate risks are unlikely.

(XXII) Capital management

The objective of capital management by the consolidating company is to ensure operations as a going concern, in order to continue to create returns for shareholders and benefits to other stakeholders, maintain the optimal capital structure and lower the cost of capital.

To maintain or modify its capital structure, the consolidating company may adjust dividends to shareholders, make payments to shareholders to reduce share capital, issue new shares or sell assets to repay debts.

The consolidating company manages and control capital based on the debt to capital ratio. The ratio is calculated with net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is the total debt on the balance sheet less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital refers to all components of equity (i.e. share capital, capital surplus, retained earnings, and other equity) plus net debt.

The consolidating company's capital management strategy in 2021 was largely consistent with 2020: maintenance of the debt to capital ratio to ensure financing at a reasonable cost.

The debt-to-equity ratios as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:
2021.12.31 2020.12.31
Total liabilities \$

Independent Auditors' Report

To Better Life Group Co., Ltd.,

Audit opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Better Life Group Co., LTD., which comprise the balance sheet as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the Statements of Comprehensive Income, the statement of changes in equity and the statement of cash flows from January 1, 2021 to December 31, 2021 and from January 1, 2020 to December 31, 2020, as well as the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Better Life Group Co., LTD. as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 and for the years then ended, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for the audit opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. We explain further our responsibility under the standards in the section concerning the auditor's responsibility in the audit of parent company only financial statements. The personnel in our firm, subject to independence requirements, maintains independence from Better Life Group Co., LTD, and fulfills other responsibilities in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant and under the norms. We are convinced that we have acquired enough and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis of audit opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are the matters of most significance based on our professional judgement and audits of parent company only financial statements for 2021. These matters have been dealt with in the audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and during the process of forming the audit opinion. Hence, we do not issue opinions separately on such matters. Key audit matters of the parent company only financial statements of the Company are stated as follows:

Revenue recognition $\mathbf{L}$

Please refer to Note 4 (15) to the parent company only financial statements regarding the accounting policy of revenue recognition. Please refer to Note 6 (18) for the detailed breakdown of contract revenue.

Description:

The primary operating revenue for Better Life Group Co., LTD. in 2021 were from the sale of real estate. The risk of material misstatement lies in the truthfulness of revenue. As operating revenue are concerned with the operating performance of management, it is possible that management seeks to achieve expected net profits with early or deferred operating revenue recognition and causes material misstatement of operating revenue. Hence, the testing of revenue recognition was one of the significant assessments for our audits of Better Life Group Co., LTD.'s financial statements. Audit procedures

The audit procedures we have implemented for the specific aspects described in the above-

mentioned key audit matters include:

  • Performed a control test on sales and payment collection cycles to evaluate how the control prevents and detects errors and fraud in revenue recognition;
  • Performed a cut-off test on revenue from the sale of property to assess whether the revenue in the preceding paragraph is recognized in an appropriate period.
  • Substantive tests on revenue recognition by sampling and cross referencing the documents in relation to real estate sale contracts and property ownership registrations and by inspecting the sale system data and general ledger entries, in order to assess whether Better Life Group Co., LTD. recognized revenue according to relevant standards and regulations.
  • II. Inventory valuation

Please refer to Note 4 (7) to the parent company only financial statements for the accounting policy of inventory valuation. Please refer to Note 5 to the parent company only financial statements for the uncertainties in relation to the accounting estimates and assumptions of inventory valuation and to Note $6(4)$ to the parent company only financial statements for inventory details. Description:

Inventory is an important operating asset for Better Life Group Co., LTD. It accounted for approximately 58% of the total assets. Inventory valuation is based on International Financial Reporting Standards No. 2. The net realizable value of Better Life Group Co., LTD.'s inventory is based on future selling prices and construction costs estimated by management and subject to the influence of the political and economic environments. Inappropriate estimates of the net realizable value will result in a misstatement of financial reports. Hence, the testing of inventory valuation was one of the significant assessments for our audits of Better Life Group Co., LTD.'s financial statements.

Audit procedures:

Our main inspection procedures on the above key audit matter include the acquisition of Better Life Group Co., LTD.'s data for estimates of the net realizable value of inventory, sampling of such data to check against the contracts sold, reference to the Ministry of Interior's most recently published actual transaction prices of real estate or the transaction prices in the same proximity so as to evaluate the next realizable value of properties available for sale. To assess whether the net realizable value of buildings under construction is reasonable, we sampled and inspected the return-on-investment analysis by the Company, compared the return-on-investment data and market prices and, where necessary, obtained the appraisal reports.

Responsibility of management and those charged with governance for parent company only financial statements

The responsibilities of the management are to prepare the parent company only financial statements with fair presentation in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and to maintain necessary internal control associated with the preparation in order to ensure that the financial statements are free from material misstatement arising from fraud or error.

When preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is also responsible for the assessment of Better Life Group Co., LTD.'s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosure of relevant matters and the adoption of the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate Better Life Group Co., LTD. or cease operations or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) in Better Life Group Co., LTD. are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.

Auditors' responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Untruthful expressions might have been caused by frauds or errors. Misstatements individually or in aggregate are considered material, if they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.

We have utilized our professional judgment and maintained professional doubt when performing the audit work in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. We also performed the following tasks:

    1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements 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. Fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control. Therefore, the risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than the one resulting from error.
    1. Obtain a necessary understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures appropriate to the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of Better Life Group Co., LTD.'s internal control.
    1. Evaluated the adequacy of accounting policies adopted by the management and the reasonability of accounting estimates and related disclosures made.
    1. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on Better Life Group Co., LTD.'s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists with such events or conditions, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inappropriate, to modify our opinion. Conclusions made by the CPAs are based on the audit findings obtained as of the date of audit report. However, future events or conditions may render Better Life Group Co., LTD. unable to continue as a going concern.
    1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements fairly represent the underlying transactions and events.
    1. Obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence concerning the financial information of investees using the equity method, to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We were responsible for guiding, supervising, and performing the audit and forming an audit opinion about Better Life Group Co., LTD.

IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted in the parent company only financial statements is as follows. Except for the description of accounting changes in Note 3, the accounting policies below have been applied consistently throughout the reporting period presented in the parent company only financial statements.

(I) Statement of compliance

The parent company only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations

Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

  • (II) Basis of preparation
    1. Basis for measurement

Except for financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income, the parent company only financial statements has been prepared at historical cost:

  1. Functional currency and currency presented

The Company adopts the currency used in the main economic environment in which it operates as its functional currency. The parent company only financial statements are presented in the Company's functional currency, namely New Taiwan dollars (NTD). All financial information presented in NTD is in the unit of thousands of NTD.

(III) Foreign currency

  1. Foreign currency transactions

Foreign currency transactions are translated into functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date. On the end date of each reporting period (hereinafter referred to as the "balance sheet date"), foreign currency monetary items are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date, and foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated into the functional currency at the exchange rate prevailing on the day of measurement. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost are translated at the exchange rate prevailing on the transaction date.

Foreign currency translation differences arising from a translation are normally recognized in profit or loss, except for the circumstances below where such differences are recognized in other comprehensive income:

  • (1) Equity instrument designated at fair value through other comprehensive income;
  • (2) Financial liabilities designated as net investment hedge for foreign operations,
  • which are within the effective scope of hedging; or
  • (3) Oualified cash flow hedge, which within the effective scope of hedging.
    1. Foreign operations

Assets and liabilities of foreign operations, including goodwill arising from acquisition and fair value adjustments, are translated into NTD at the exchange rate prevailing on the balance sheet date; income and expense items are translated into NTD at the average exchange rate in the current period. Resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income

When the disposal of a foreign operation results in the loss of control, joint control, or material impact, the cumulative exchange differences related to the foreign operation are fully reclassified to profit or loss. In the event of a partial disposal of a subsidiary with foreign operations, the relevant cumulative exchange differences are re-attributed to noncontrolling interests on a pro-rata basis. In the event of a partial disposal of an investment involving an associate or a joint venture of a foreign operation, the relevant cumulative exchange differences are reclassified to profit or loss on a pro rata basis.

If there is no repayment plan for the monetary receivables or payables of an foreign operation and it is impossible to settle the receivables or payables in the foreseeable future, the foreign exchange gains and losses incurred shall be regarded as a part of the net investment in the foreign operation and recognized in other comprehensive income.

(IV) Criteria for classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; all other assets that are not current assets are classified as non-current assets:

    1. Assets expected to be realized in the ordinary course of business (usually longer than one year for the construction industry), or intended to be sold or consumed;
    1. Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
    1. Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date; or
    1. Assets that are cash or cash equivalents, excluding assets restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; all other liabilities that are not current liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities:

    1. Liabilities expected to be settled in the ordinary course of business (usually longer than one vear for the construction industry):
    1. Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
    1. Liabilities expected to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date; or
    1. Liabilities with a repayment deadline that cannot be unconditionally deferred for at least 12 months after the balance sheet date. However, the terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
  • (V) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash includes cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents refer to short-term and highly liquid investments that can be converted into a certain amount of cash at any time and the risk of value changes is very small. Time deposits that meet the aforementioned definition and whose purpose is to satisfy short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

(VI) Financial instruments

Accounts receivable and debt securities issued are initially recognized when incurred. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual terms of the financial instruments. Financial assets (except receivables that do not contain significant financial components) or financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss are initially measured at fair value plus transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance. Accounts receivable that do not contain significant financial components are initially measured at transaction prices.

  1. Financial assets

If the purchase or sale of financial assets conforms to the regular way purchase or sale, the Company shall adopt trade date accounting or settlement date accounting consistently to recognize the purchase or sale of the financial assets in the same category.

Financial assets are classified as financial assets at amortized cost and equity instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income upon initial recognition. The Company only reclassifies all affected financial assets from the first day of next reporting period when changing the financial assets management model.

(1) Financial assets at amortized cost

If the financial assets are in alignment with the following criteria and not designated as at fair value through profit or loss, such assets are measured at amortized cost:

  • Held under a certain business model, of which the objective is to collect contractual cash flows by holding the financial assets3
  • The cash flows on specific dates specified in the contractual terms are solely payments for the principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Such assets are subsequently amortized by the effective interest method plus or less the initially recognized amount using the effective interest method, adjusted for the allowance for losses measured at amortized cost. Interest income, foreign exchange gains or losses, and impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. Upon derecognition, the gain or loss is included in profit or loss.

(2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Upon initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to recognize subsequent changes in fair value of equity instrument investments not held for trading in other comprehensive income. The foregoing election is made as per each instrument.

Equity instrument investments are subsequently measured at fair value. Dividend income (unless it clearly represents a recovery of part of the investment) is recognized in profit or loss. The remaining net gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income and is not reclassified to profit or loss.

financial asset. Evidence that indicates a financial asset is credit-impaired includes the observable information below:

  • The borrower or issuer encountered significant financial difficulties;
  • Default, such as delayed or overdue payment for more than 360 days;
  • $\bullet$ The Company, for financial or contractual reasons related to the borrower's financial difficulties, grants the borrower a concession that the borrower would not otherwise consider
  • The borrower is likely to file for bankruptcy or other financial restructuring; or
  • The active market for the financial asset disappears due to financial difficulties.

The allowance for losses for a financial asset measured at amortized cost is deducted from the carrying amount of the asset. The allowance for losses on investment in debt instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income is with profit or loss adjusted and recognized in other comprehensive income (without reducing the carrying amount of the asset)

When the Company cannot reasonably expect to recover the whole or part of an financial asset, it directly reduces the total carrying amount of the financial asset. For individuals, the Company's policy is to write off the total carrying amount of an financial asset when it is overdue for more than 360 days based on the past experience of similar assets. For companies, the Company analyzes the timing and amount of write-off for each company on the basis of whether it can reasonably expect to recover the financial asset. The Company does not expect a material reversal of an amount written off. However, financial assets that have been written off are still enforceable to be aligned with the Company's procedures for recovering overdue amounts.

(4) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash inflow from the financial asset expire, when it transfers the financial assets and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party, or when it has not transferred, retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership, and retained control over the financial asset

For transfer of transfer financial assets, if the Company has retained all or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to be transferred, it continues to recognize the asset on the balance sheet.

    1. Financial liabilities and equity instruments
  • (1) Classification of liabilities and equity

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity as per the substance of a contractual agreement and the definition of financial liabilities and equity instruments.

(2) Equity transactions

Equity instrument refers to any contract that demonstrates the Company's remaining interest in assets less all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the acquisition price less direct issue costs.

(3) Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities are classified as those at amortized cost or at fair value through profit or loss. Financial liabilities are classified at fair value through profit or loss if they are held for trading, derivatives, or designated upon initial recognition. Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss are measured at fair value and the

relevant net gain and loss, including any interest expense, is recognized in profit or $loss.$

Other financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and exchange gains or losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss is also recognized in profit or loss upon derecognition.

(4) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The Company derecognizes financial liabilities when contractual obligations have been fulfilled, cancelled, or expired. When the terms of financial liabilities are revised and the cash flow of the revised liabilities is significantly different, the initial financial liabilities are derecognized, and new financial liabilities are recognized at fair value as per the revised terms.

When a financial liability is derecognized, the difference between its carrying amount and the total consideration paid or payable (including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.

(5) Offset of financial assets and liabilities

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and presented in an net amount on the balance sheet only when the Company has legally enforceable rights to offset financial assets and financial liabilities and intends to settle on a net basis or to realize assets and settle liabilities simultaneously.

(VII) Inventories

The initial cost of inventories is the expenditure necessary to bring inventories to a condition and location ready for sale or construction. Development costs of property include construction, land, borrowing, and project costs incurred during the development period. Upon completion, the construction in progress will be reclassified to the buildings and land held for sale, and the operating costs will be reclassified as per the proportion of sales to the development costs of the property. Subsequently, it will be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value. When the cost of inventory is higher than the net realizable value, the cost should be written down to the net realizable value, and the amount written down should be recognized in cost of sales in the current period. The methods for determining the net realizable value are as follows:

    1. Construction land: Net realizable value is calculated based on replacement cost or estimated selling price (as per the market condition at the time) less estimated selling expenses.
    1. Construction in progress: The net realizable value is calculated based on the estimated selling price (according to the market condition at the time) less the costs and selling expenses required till completion.
    1. Buildings and land held for sale: Net realizable value is calculated based on estimated selling price (as per the market condition at the time) less estimated selling expenses.
  • (VIII) Investment in subsidiaries

When preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company adopts the equity mthod to valuate the investees over which the Company has control. With the equity method, the current profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the parent company only financial statements are the same as the current profit or loss and other comprehensive income attributable to the owners of the parent company in the consolidated financial statements. The owner's equity in the parent company only financial statements is the same as the equity attributable to the owners of the parent company in the consolidated financial statements. Changes in the Company's ownership interests in subsidiaries that do not result in the loss of its control over them are treated as equity transactions with the owners.

(IX) Investment property

Investment property refers to property held for earning rents or asset appreciation or both, but not for sale in normal business activities, production, provision of goods or services, or for administrative purposes. Investment property is initially measured at cost, and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment. The depreciation method, useful life, and residual value are handled in accordance with the rules of property, plant and equipment.

Gains or losses on the disposal of investment property (calculated as the difference between the net proceed from the disposal and the carrying amount of the property) are recognized in profit or loss.

Rent income from investment property is recognized in operating income on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The lease incentives are recognized as part of the rent income over the lease term.

  • (X) Property, plant and equipment
    1. Recognition and measurement

Property, plant and equipment are measured at cost (including capitalized borrowing costs) less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment.

When the useful lives of material components of property, plant and equipment are different, they are treated as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.

Gain or loss on disposal of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.

    1. Subsequent cost Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the Company.
    1. Depreciation

Depreciation is calculated at the cost of an asset less its residual value and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life of each component. Land is not depreciated.

The estimated useful life for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Leasehold improvement 5 years

The Company reviews the depreciation method, useful life, and residual value on each balance sheet date and makes appropriate adjustments if necessary.

  1. Reclassification to investment property

When the property for self-use is changed into investment property, the property is reclassified as investment property at the carrying amount upon the change of use.

$(XI)$ Lease

The Company assesses whether a contract is or contains a lease on the date of the establishment the contract and determines a contract is or contains a lease if the contract transfers control over the use of the identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.

  1. Lessee

The Company recognizes the right-of-use asset and lease liability on the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which includes the initially measured amount of the lease liability, adjusted for any lease payments paid on or before the lease commencement date, plus the initial direct costs incurred and the estimated costs for dismantling, removing the asset, or restoring its location or the asset, and less any lease incentives received.

The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated on a straight-line basis from the lease commencement date to the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term, whichever is earlier. In addition, the Company regularly assesses whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and accounts for any impairment loss that has occurred, and adjusts the right-of-use asset if the lease liability is remeasured.

The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the unpaid lease payments at the lease commencement date. If the interest rate implicit in a lease is easy to be determined, the discount rate is said rate; if it is not easy to determine such a rate, the Company's incremental borrowing rate is adopted. Generally speaking, the Company adopts its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.

  • Lease payments included in the lease liability measurement include:
  • (1) Fixed payments, including substantive fixed payments;
  • (2) The lease payment depends on the change in an index or rate, and the index or rate on the lease commencement date is adopted for the initial measurement:
  • (3) The residual value guarantee amount expected to be paid; and
  • (4) The exercise price or penalty to be paid when it is reasonably ascertain that the purchase or lease termination will be executed.

Interest on lease liabilities is subsequently accrued using the effective interest method, and the amount is re-measured under each of the circumstances below:

  • (1) Changes in the index or rate used to determine lease payments result in changes in future lease payments;
  • (2) There is a change in the residual value guarantee amount expected to be paid:
  • (3) There is a change in the evaluation of the option of purchasing the asset;
  • (4) A change in the evaluation of whether to extend or terminate a lease has resulted in a change in the evaluation of the lease term;
  • (5) The subject leased, scope of lease, or other terms are modified.

When the lease liability is re-measured due to the aforementioned changes in the index or rate used to determine the lease payment, changes in the residual value guarantee amount, and changes in the evaluation of the purchase, extension, or termination, the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is adjusted accordingly. When the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero, the remaining remeasured amount is recognized in profit or loss.

For lease modifications with a reduced scope of the lease, the carrying amount of the rightof-use asset is reduced to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and the difference between said amount and the remeasured amount of the lease liability is recognized in profit or loss.

The Company presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities not in alignment with the definition of investment property on a separate line in the balance sheet.

For short-term leases of buildings and transportation equipment and leases of low-value assets, the Company elects not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities and recognizes relevant lease payments in expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease term instead

$2 \text{ I essor}$

Transactions in which the Company is the lessor are classified on the lease commencement date as per whether a lease contract is with substantially all risks and rewards attached to the ownership of the asset transferred; if so, such a contract is classified as a finance lease, otherwise it is classified as an operating lease. During

evaluation, the Company considers relevant specific indicators, including whether the lease term covers a major part of the economic life of the asset.

If the Company is a sublessor, it accounts for headlease and sublease transactions separately and classifies sublease transactions based on the right-of-use assets derived from a headlease. If a headlease is a short-term lease to which recognition exemption applies, the sublease transaction derived therefrom should be classified as an operating lease.

If an agreement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company allocates the consideration in the agreement as per IFRS 15.

(XII) Intangible assets

  1. Recognition and measurement

The Company acquires other intangible assets with finite useful life, including computer software, which are measured at the cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment.

  1. Subsequent expenditure

Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only to the extent that the future economic benefits of a specific asset will increase. All other expenditures are recognized in profit or loss as incurred.

  1. Amortization

Amortization is calculated at the cost of the asset less the estimated residual value and is recognized in profit or loss using the straight-line method over the estimated useful life from when an intangible asset becomes available for use.

The estimated useful life for the current and comparative periods are as follows:

Computer software 3 years

The Company reviews the amortization method, useful life, and residual value of intangible assets on each balance sheet date and makes appropriate adjustments if necessary.

(XIII) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company evaluates if there is any sign of impairment of non-financial assets at the balance sheet date. The Company estimates the recoverable amount of such assets with a sign of impairment. The Company test the impairment of good will.

Impairment testing aims at the smallest identifiable group of assets that

generates cash inflows that are largely independent of the cash inflows

from other assets or groups of assets. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is allocated to each cash-generating unit or group of cash-generating units that is expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.

The recoverable amount is the higher of the individual asset or the air value of the cashgenerating unit less cost of disposal and its value in use. In assessing value in use, estimated future cash flows are discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects present market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or cash-generating unit.

An impairment loss is recognized when the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cashgenerating unit is lower than the carrying amount thereof.

Impairment losses are recognized immediately in current profit or loss with the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit's amortized goodwill reduced first; then the carrying amount of each asset in proportion to the carrying amount thereof in the unit reduced.

Goodwill impairment losses are not reversed. Non-financial assets other than goodwill are reversed only when it does not exceed the carrying amount (less depreciation or amortization)

that would have been determined if such assets had not been recognized for impairment losses in prior years.

(XIV) Provision for warranty liability

The recognition of provision is a present obligation due to past events, which makes it probable that the economic resources may flow out from the Company to settle the obligation in the future and the amount of the obligation can be estimated reliably. The provision is discounted at a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the liability, and the amortization of the discount is recognized in interest expense.

Provision for warranty liability is recognized when goods or services are sold and is measured based on historical warranty information and all probable outcomes weighted by respective probabilities.

  • (XV) Revenue recognition
    1. Revenue from customer contracts

Revenue is measured as the consideration to which the transfer of goods or services is expected to be entitled. The Company recognizes revenue when the control over goods or services is transferred to customers and its performance obligations are fulfilled. The Company's main revenue items are described as follows:

(1) Land development and property sales

The Company develops and sells residential property and often launches pre-sale property projects during or before construction. The Company recognizes revenue when control over property is transferred. Due to contractual restrictions, property usually has no other uses for the Company. However, after the legal ownership of property is transferred to a customer, the Company has an enforceable right to receive a payment for the contract performed so far. Therefore, the Company recognizes revenue when the legal ownership of property is transferred or handed over to a customer.

Revenue is measured at the transaction price in the contractual agreement. If it is a sale of a finished property project, the consideration, in most cases, can be collected when the legal ownership of property is transferred. In a few cases, the payment can be deferred as per the contractual agreement but cannot be deferred for over 12 months. Thus, transaction prices are not adjusted to reflect the effect of significant financial components. In the case of a pre-sale property project, the payment is usually collected in installments during the period from when the contract is signed to when the property is transferred to a customer. If the contract contains a significant financial component, the transaction price is adjusted as per the borrowing rate for the project during said period to reflect the effect of time value of money. Advance receipts are recognized in contract liabilities, and interest expenses and contract liabilities are recognized when it is determined that the effect of the time value of money needs to be adjusted. The cumulative contract liabilities are reclassified to revenue when the property is transferred to a customer.

Some contracts include multiple items to be delivered, such as the sale of residential property and interior design services, which are regarded as a separate performance obligation and the transaction price is amortized on a stand-alone selling price basis. If no directly observable price is available, the stand-alone selling price is estimated based on expected cost plus margin. The interior design service is recognized in revenue when the service is completed.

Deferred tax is recognized based on the temporary differences between the carrying amounts of an asset and liability for financial reporting purposes and its tax base. Temporary differences arising from the circumstances below are not recognized in deferred tax:

    1. Assets or liabilities are initially recognized for a transaction that is not a business combination, and such assets or liabilities does not affect accounting profit and taxable income (loss) at the time of the transaction:
    1. For temporary differences arising from investments in subsidiaries, associates, and joint venture interests, the Company can control the timing of the reversal of such temporary differences and it is likely that they will not be reversed in the foreseeable future; and
    1. Taxable temporary differences arises from the initial recognition of goodwill. Unused tax losses and unused tax credits to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax losses and unused tax credits can be utilized, as well as deductible temporary differences are recognized in deferred tax assets. It is reassessed at each balance sheet date to reduce the relevant income tax benefits to the extent that it is not probable that they will be realized; or to reverse the previously reduced amount to the extent that it becomes probable that sufficient taxable income will be available.

Deferred tax is measured at the tax rate at which the temporary difference is expected to reverse, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date, with tax-related uncertainties reflected.

The Company will offset deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities only when the criteria below are met at the same time:

    1. Has the statutory enforcement power to offset current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities; and
    1. Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are related to one of the following taxpayers with income tax levied by the same tax authority:
  • (1) The same taxpayer; or
  • (2) Different taxpayers but each taxpayer intends to settle the current tax liabilities and assets on a net basis or to realize both in each future period, in which significant amounts of deferred tax assets are expected to be recovered and deferred tax liabilities are expected to be settled.
  • (XVIII) Earnings per share

The Company presents basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to holders of the Company's ordinary shares. The Company's basic earnings per share is calculated by dividing the profit or loss attributable to the equity holders of the Company's ordinary shares by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding in the current period. Diluted earnings per share is calculated by having the profit or loss attributable to the equity holders of the Company's ordinary shares and the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding adjusted for the effect of all potential dilutive ordinary shares.

(XIX) Segment information

The Company has disclosed segment information in the consolidated financial statements, so does not disclose such information in the parent company only financial statements.

$V_{\cdot}$ Critical Accounting Judgements and Key Sources of Estimation and Uncertainty

When the management prepares the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, it shall make judgments, estimates, and assumptions, which will affect the accounting policies adopted and the amounts of assets, liabilities, income, and expenses presented. Actual results may differ from estimates.

The management continues to review estimates and basic assumptions, and changes in accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which they are changed and future periods affected.

The accounting policies involve significant judgement, and the information with a material impact on the amounts recognized in this parent company only financial statements is as follows: None.

The uncertainties in the following assumptions and estimates with significant risks of causing the carrying amount of assets and liabilities to be adjusted significantly in the next fiscal year and the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic has been reflected. The relevant information is as follows: Inventory valuation

As inventories should be measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, the Company's assessment of the net realizable value of inventories on the balance sheet date is an estimate based on future selling prices in the market and construction costs. Being susceptible to political and economic environments, the net realizable value may undergo significant changes. Please refer to Note 6(4) for details of inventory valuation.

At present, the protection measures, including an entrustment contract and a trust deed have been signed with said individual, and the land parcel will be transferred to the Company at an appropriate time. Said agricultural land has been reclassified to investment property.
    1. Reclassification to investment property

The Company signed a land lease agreement with the lessee on November 25, 2021 to establish a solar power zone, and reclassified the property as investment property at the carrying amount upon change of use. As the fair value was higher than the book value on the date of change of use, the initially recognized impairment loss reversed amounted to NT\$11,787,000. The comparative method was mainly adopted, supplemented by the land development analysis method, to compare the price and analyze and adjust the fair value, which belongs to Level 3.

(VIII) Investment property

Investment property includes land leased out by the Company to lessees under operating leases. The initial period of the leased investment property is 20 years. At the end of a lease term, the Company will negotiate subsequent lease terms with a lessee.

The input used in the fair value valuation technique is level 3 input.

To improve the use efficiency of land, the Company decided to lease the land to others to set up solar power system facilities, so it was reclassified from property, plant and equipment to investment property (please refer to Note 6(7) for details). Said lease contract includes the initial lease term, and the subsequent lease term is negotiated with the lessee, and no contingent rent is charged.

(XXI) Financial instruments

    1. Credit risk
  • (1) Maximum exposure to credit risk

The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.

(2) Credit concentration risk

As the Company has a large customer base and does not have significant customer concentration in transactions, there is no significant credit concentration risk of accounts receivable.

(3) Credit risk of receivables and debt securities

Please refer to Appendix $6(3)$ for the information on credit risk exposure of notes and accounts receivable.

Other financial assets at amortized cost include other receivables (listed in other financial assets - current). Allowances for overdue receivables for 2021 and 2020 have been provided.

Said financial assets are with low credit risk, so the allowance for losses for the periods was measured at the amount of 12-month expected credit loss (please refer to Note $4(6)$ for information on how the Company determines the credit risk as low).

The Company does not expect that the timing of the cash flows for the maturity analysis will occur significantly earlier or that the actual amounts will be significantly different.

  1. Interest rate analysis

The exposure of the Company's financial assets and financial liabilities to interest rate risk is described in liquidity risk management in this note.

The sensitivity analysis below is based on the exposure of derivative and non-derivative instruments to interest rate risk at the balance sheet date. For floating-rate liabilities, the analysis is based on an assumption that the amount of a liability outstanding at the balance sheet date is outstanding throughout the year. The sensitivity to a 1% change in interest rate is used when reporting the interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and also represents the management's assessment of the reasonably possible change in interest rates.

If the interest rate increased/decreased by 1% and all other variables remain unchanged, the Company's net income before tax for 2021 and 2020 would have decreased/increased by NT\$3,615,000 and NT\$5,934,000, respectively, mainly due to the Company's borrowings at variable interest rates.

    1. Information on fair value
  • (1) Valuation process of fair value of financial instruments

The Company's accounting policies and disclosures include the adoption of fair value to measure its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. The Company has established relevant internal control systems for fair value measurement. Of them, a valuation team has been established to be responsible for reviewing all significant fair value measurements (including Level $\overline{3}$ fair value) and reporting directly to the Chief Financial Officer. The team regularly reviews significant unobservable inputs and adjustments. If an input used to measure fair value is based on external third-party information (such as a broker or pricing service institution), the valuation team will assess the evidence provided by the third party in support of the input to confirm that the valuation and its fair value level are aligned with the requirements of IFRS.

The Company adopts observable inputs in the market wherever possible when measuring its assets and liabilities. The fair value levels are based on the inputsused in the valuation techniques and are classified as follows:

  • Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
  • Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices).
  • Level 3 inputs are not based on observable inputs (unobservable inputs) for the asset or liability.
  • (2) Types and fair values of financial instruments

The Company's financial assets at FVTOCI are measured at fair value on a recurring basis. The carrying amounts and fair values of various types of financial assets and financial liabilities (including fair value level information, but the carrying amounts of financial instruments not measured by fair value is a reasonable approximation of fair value, and the fair values of lease liabilities, as per regulations, are not required to be disclosed) are listed below: $0.021, 12.21$

(3) Fair value valuation techniques for financial instruments not at fair value The methods and assumptions adopted by the Company to estimate instruments not at fair value are as follows:

(3.1) Financial assets and liabilities at amortized cost

If there is information on quoted prices from transactions or market makers, the latest transaction price and quoted price should be adopted as the basis for valuating the fair value. If there is no information on market prices for reference, the valuation method is adopted for estimation. The estimates and assumptions used in the valuation method are the discounted value of cash flows to estimate the fair value.

  • (4) Fair value valuation techniques for financial instruments at fair value
  • (4.1) Non-derivative financial instruments

When a financial instrument is quoted in an active market, the quoted price in the active market is the fair value. The market prices announced by major exchanges and Taipei Exchange that sells popular bonds are the basis for the fair value of listed equity instruments and debt instruments with quoted prices in the active markets.

A financial instrument is deemed to be with quoted prices in the active markets if its quoted prices can be obtained from exchanges, brokers, underwriters, industry associations, pricing services institutions, or competent authorities in a timely and regular manner, and the prices represent the prices in actual fair market transactions that occur frequently. If the above criteria are not met, the market is deemed inactive. Generally speaking, a large bid-ask spread, a significant increase in the bid-ask spread, or a low trading volume are all indicators of an inactive market. Except for the above financial instruments with active markets, the fair values of other financial instruments are obtained through valuation techniques or with reference to the quoted prices by counterparties. The fair value obtained through valuation techniques may be calculated and obtained with reference to the present fair value of other financial instruments with substantively similar criteria and characteristics, discounted cash flow method, or other valuation techniques, including the use of models based on market information available at the balance sheet date.

If a financial instrument held by the Company is with no active market and its fair value is in the category of equity instruments without quoted prices based on the type and attribute, its fair value is measured using the asset method with the main assumption based on the balance sheet of the investee. The estimate has been adjusted for the effect of the discount on the control premium and liquidity of the equity securities.

(7) Quantitative information on measurement of significant unobservable fair value input $(Level 3)$

The Company's fair value classified as Level 3 mainly includes financial assets at FVTOCI - equity securities investment.

Most of the Company's fair values are classified as Level 3 (with only a single significant unobservable input), and there are multiple, significant unobservable inputs only in investments in equity instruments without active markets. Significant unobservable inputs for investments in equity instruments with no active market are independent of each other and therefore do not correlate.

Ouantitative information on significant unobservable inputs is listed as follows:

(8) Analysis of sensitivity of Level 3 fair value to reasonably possible alternative assumptions

The measurement of fair values of financial instruments by the Company is reasonable, but the use of different valuation models or valuation parameters may result in different valuation results. For financial instruments classified as Level 3, if the valuation parameters change, the effect on the current profit or loss or other comprehensive income is as follows:

decrease

The Company's favorable and unfavorable changes refer to the fluctuations of fair values, and fair values are calculated with the valuation techniques based on different unobservable inputs. If the fair value of a financial instrument is affected by more than one input, the above table only reflects the effect of changes in a single input without taking into account the correlation and variability between the inputs

(XXII) Financial risk management

  1. Summary

The Company is exposed to the risks below due to the use of financial instruments:

  • (1) Credit risk
  • (2) Liquidity risk
  • (3) Market risk

This note indicates the Company's exposure to each of the above risks and its objectives, policies, and procedures for risk measurement and management. Please refer to the notes to the parent company only financial statements for more quantitative information.

  1. Risk management framework

The Board of Directors is responsible for establishing and supervising the Company's risk management structure at its discretion. The Board of Directors has fully delegated the management to be responsible for the development and management of the Company's risk management policy, and it shall regularly report on the operations to the Board of Directors. The formulation of the Company's risk management policy aims to identify and analyze the risks faced by the Company, set appropriate risk limits and control, and monitor risks and observance of risk limits. The risk management policy and system are regularly reviewed to reflect changes in market conditions and the Company's operations. The Company develops a disciplined and constructive control environment through training, management guidelines, and operating procedures, enabling all employees to understand their roles and responsibilities.

The Company's Audit Committee supervises how the management monitors compliance with the Company's risk management policy and procedures and reviews the appropriateness of the Company's risk management framework governing the risks faced. Internal auditors assist the Company's Audit Committee with its supervisory role. These personnel conduct regular and exception reviews of risk management controls and procedures and report the review results to the Board and Audit Committee.

  1. Credit risk

The Company's credit risk is the risk of financial loss suffered by the Company arising from the failure of customers or counterparties of financial instruments to fulfill contractual obligations, mainly from the Company's accounts receivable from customers.

(1) Accounts receivable and other receivables

The a credit policy has been established in the Company's internal control system, according to which the Company should analyze the credit rating of each new customer before making a standard payment or formulating shipping terms and conditions. The Company's review and control mechanism includes customers' historical transaction records and external credit ratings. Maximum procurement amounts are set on a customer-by-customer basis and represent the maximum outstanding amount that does not require the management team's approval. Such maximum amounts are under regular review.

As the Company has a large customer base for the construction business with customers distributed over different areas, there is no significant customer concentration and the credit concentration risk of accounts receivable is not likely to be significant. As most of the counterparties engaging in real estate development and sales business are generally individuals, the funds received are mainly paid by remittance, bills or notes, and mortgage, so the relevant credit risk is relatively low.

In addition, the Company's construction projects are based on its operating regulations on project contracting. Its contracting and construction technology conforms to the regulations with a positive reputation. Therefore, it can ensure the quality and progress of its construction projects. When necessary, it requires the construction companies to make a security deposit to ensure the construction quality. Other receivables are mainly from landowners, other joint construction partners, and subsidiaries. After assessment, the debtors should be able to repay the debts, so the credit risk of the Company's other receivables is not significant.

(2) Investment

The credit risk of bank deposits, fixed-income investments, and other financial instruments is measured and monitored by the Company's finance department. As the Company's transaction counterparties and contract counterparties are all creditworthy banks, financial institutions rated at investment grade and above, corporate organizations, and government agencies, there is no significant doubts over contract performance, hence no significant credit risk.

(3) Guarantee

As of the end of 2021 and 2020, the Company and other co-builders, in joint investment in construction projects or joint construction projects, provide endorsements and guarantees to each other. Please refer to Note 13 for details of such endorsements and guarantees.

  1. Liquidity risk

Liquidity risk is the risk arising when the Company cannot deliver cash or other financial assets to settle financial liabilities and fails to fulfill relevant obligations. The Company's approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that the Company, under normal circumstances and pressure, has sufficient liquidity to cover its liabilities as they fall due, without resulting in a risk of incurring unacceptable losses or causing damage to the Company's reputation.

The Company calculates the funds required for the cost of each development and construction project, payments that can be collected from customers during the sales period, and the construction loans from banks and properly plans the times of receipts of funds to ensure that it has sufficient working capital to cover the liabilities that are due. As part of the funds required for the development and construction projects can be financed by banks, and customers can also obtain mortgages from banks to cover most of the payment when housing units are handed over to customers; thus, the Company is not susceptible to the risk of material losses or reputational damage.

  1. Market risk

Market risk refers to the risk that affects the Company's revenue or the value of financial instruments held due to changes in market prices, such as changes in exchange rates, interest rates, or equity instrument prices. The purpose of market risk management is to control the exposure to market risks within a range of tolerance and optimize return on investment. The Company does not engage in transactions in financial instruments (including derivative financial instruments) for the main purpose of speculation.

(1) Exchange rate risk

The Group's functional currency is mainly in NTD. The Company's main business transactions (including receivables, payables, loans, or financing) are mainly denominated in NTD, so there is no risk of significant fluctuations in foreign exchange rates

(2) Interest rate risk

The Company's policy is to have the management review and control the optimal interest rate portfolio of financial liabilities, in order to control the risk of interest rate fluctuations in the Company's finance.

The Company's interest rate risk mainly comes from bank borrowings. As per the Company's assessment, the interest rate level is stable in its operating environment in recent years, and there should not be significant interest rate risk.

(XXIII) Capital management

The Company's capital management aims to ensure the ability to continue as a going concern, continue to provide bonuses to shareholders and interests to other stakeholders, and maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce capital costs.

To maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the dividends paid to shareholders, reduce capital and refund capital to shareholders, issue new shares, or sell assets to settle liabilities.

The Company controls capital based on the debt-to-equity ratio. The ratio is calculated with net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is the total debt on the balance sheet less cash and cash equivalents. Total capital refers to all components of equity (i.e. share capital, capital surplus, retained earnings, and other equity) plus net debt.

The Company's capital management strategy in 2021 was the same as in 2020, that is, to maintain the debt-to-equity ratio at a certain level to ensure financing at a reasonable cost.

The debt-to-equity ratios as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were as follows:

2021.12.31 2020.12.31
