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:
-
I. Revenue recognition
-
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-
~ 3-1 ~
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
Evaluated the adequacy of accounting policies adopted by the management and the reasonability of accounting estimates and related disclosures made.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
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).
~ 3-2 ~
We determined the key audit matters for Better Life Group Co., LTD.’s 2021 parent company only 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 .

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
-
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:
-
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.
~ 9 ~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
-
(III) Foreign currency
-
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) Qualified cash flow hedge, which within the effective scope of hedging.
-
-
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:
-
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;
-
Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
-
Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date; or
-
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:
-
Liabilities expected to be settled in the ordinary course of business (usually longer than one year for the construction industry);
-
Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
~ 10 ~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
-
Liabilities expected to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date; or
-
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.
- 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.
~ 11 ~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
Dividend income from equity investments is recognized on the date when the Company is entitled to receive dividends (usually the ex-dividend date).
- (3) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes financial assets at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, financial assets at amortized cost, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, guarantee deposits paid, and other financial assets), debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income, and expected credit losses on contract assets in allowance for losses.
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.
When determining whether the credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition, the Company takes into account reasonable and corroborative information (obtainable without undue cost or effort), including qualitative and quantitative information, and analyzes it based on the Company's historical experience,credit assessments, and forward-looking information.
If the credit risk rating of an financial instrument is equivalent to the globally defined "investment grade" (BBB in Standard & Poor's, Baa3 in Moody's, or twA in Taiwan Ratings, or higher than such levels), the Company regards that the credit risk of the debt securities is low.
If a contract payment is overdue for more than 30 days, the Company assumes that the credit risk of an financial asset has increased significantly.
If a contract payment is overdue for more than 360 days, or the borrower is unlikely to fulfill its credit obligations and pay the full amount to the Company, the Company will deem the financial asset 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 over which expected credit losses are measured is the maximum contract period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk. 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 all cash shortfalls, that is the difference between the cash flows that the Company can receive as per the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive. Expected credit losses are discounted at the effective interest rate on the financial asset.
The Company assesses whether financial assets at amortized cost are credit-impaired on each balance sheet date. A financial asset is credit-impaired when one or more events have occurred with an adverse effect on the estimated future cash flows of the
~ 12 ~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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;
-
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.
-
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
~ 13 ~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
-
Subsequent cost
-
Subsequent expenditures are capitalized only when it is probable that the future economic benefits will flow to the Company.
-
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.
- 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.
- 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.
~ 15 ~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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.
- Lessor
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
~ 16 ~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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
-
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.
- 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.
- 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)
~ 17 ~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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
-
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.
~ 18 ~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
-
(2) Significant financial components - advance receipts for property 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. 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. The Company evaluates whether the contract consideration is different from the current selling price and whether the aforementioned advance consideration received includes financing factors per contract. The advance consideration received by the Company is mainly to provide protection for contract performance by customers, thereby reducing the resale price risk and subsidy caused by any customer's non-performance of the contract to the Company. Therefore, it is not a significant financial component of obtaining financial financing from customers. Thus, the time value of money of the transaction consideration is not adjusted.
-
Cost of customer contracts
-
(1) Incremental cost of obtaining contracts
If the Company expects to recover its incremental costs of obtaining customer contracts, it recognizes such costs in assets. 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 Company recognizes in assets the incremental costs incurred in obtaining customer contracts, which are expected to be recovered through the sale of property and amortizes them on a systematic basis consistent with that adopted for the transfer of presale property to customers.
-
(XVI) Employee benefits
-
Defined contribution plan
- Contribution obligations to the defined contribution plan are recognized in expenses in the period during which the employee provides service.
-
Short-term employee benefits
- Short-term employee benefits are recognized as expenses when the relevant services are provided. If the Company has a present legal or constructive payment obligation due to an employee's past services and the obligation can be estimated reliably, the amount of benefits is recognized in liabilities.
-
(XVII) Income tax
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.
~ 19 ~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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:
-
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;
-
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
-
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.

Under the earnings distribution policy as set forth in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, where the Company made a profit in a fiscal year, the profit shall be first used for paying taxes, offsetting the cumulative deficit, setting aside 10% of the remaining profit as a legal reserve unless it has reached the total amount of the Company’s paid-in capital, setting aside an amount for or reversing a special reserve in accordance with operational needs and the laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit, together with any undistributed retained earnings at the beginning of the period, shall be adopted by the Company’s Board of Directors as the basis for making a distribution proposal, which shall then be submitted to the shareholders’ meeting for a resolved before distribution.
- (1) Legal reserve
When the Company suffers no losses, it may, upon a resolution by the shareholders' meeting, issue new shares or pay out cash from the legal reserve, but only to the extent that such reserve exceeds 25% of the paid-in capital.
(2) Earnings distribution
The Company’s shareholders' meeting passed a resolution on August 4, 2021 and June 18, 2020 to compensate the 2020 and 2019 losses.

Please refer to Note 6(3) for the information on notes receivable, accounts receivable, and impairment thereof.
The opening balances of contract liabilities on January 1, 2021 and 2020 were recognized in income in the amounts of NT$0 and NT$6,565,000 in 2021 and 2020, respectively. Changes in contract liabilities are mainly from the difference between the time when the Company transfers goods or services to customers to meet performance obligations (that is, when contract liabilities are recognized in revenue) and the time when customers make a payment. The amounts of refunds due to changes in contract liabilities as a result of contract cancellation by customers were NT$0 and NT$2,576,000, respectively, and the amounts reclassified to income of liquidated damages were NT$0 and NT$765,000.
(XIX) Remuneration to employees, directors, and supervisors
As per the Company's Articles of Incorporation, where it makes a profit in a year, it shall distribute no less than 4% of the balance as employees’ remuneration and no more than 4% as directors’ and supervisor's remuneration. However, when the Company still has a cumulative deficit, it shall reserve an amount in advance to compensate it.
The Company suffered pre-tax losses in 2021 and 2020, so there was no need to estimate the remuneration to employees, directors, and supervisors. Relevant information is available on the Market Observation Post System (MOPS).

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.

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.
- 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.

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 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:
| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Domestic and foreign unlisted stocks Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Domestic and foreign unlisted stocks |

- (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:
~ 36 ~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
- (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.
Quantitative information on significant unobservable inputs is listed as follows:
| Significant unobservable | Significant unobservable | Significant unobservable | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|

| the fair | value |
- (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:
| Increase or decrease Input Change December 31, 2021 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Investment in equity instruments without active markets Non-controlling interest discount +10% Non-controlling interest discount -10% Liquidity discount +10% Liquidity discount -10% December 31, 2020 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Investment in equity instruments without active markets Non-controlling interest discount +10% Non-controlling interest discount -10% Liquidity discount +10% Liquidity discount -10% |

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
- 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.
-
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.
- 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.
~ 39 ~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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.
-
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.
- 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.
~ 40 ~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
(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:
| Total liabilities Less: Cash and cash equivalents Net liability Total equity Adjusted capital Debt-to-equity ratio |
