Independent Auditors' Report
To Better Life Group Co., Ltd.,
Audit opinion
We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of Better Life Group Co., Ltd., (the “Company”) for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 and the relevant statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and relevant notes, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “parent company only financial statements”).
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, 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 of the Republic of China. Our responsibility under those standards are further described in the paragraph “Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements”. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. 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 refer to the most vital matters in our audit of the parent company only financial statements of the Company for the year ended December 31, 2025, based on our professional judgment. These matters were addressed in our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our audit opinion. We do not express a separate opinion on these matters. Key audit matters of the parent company only financial statements of the Company are stated as follows:
I. Inventory valuation
Please refer to Note 4 (7) “inventories” to parent company only financial statements for the accounting policy of the inventory values; please refer to Note 5 to the parent company only financial statements for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions for the inventory values; please refer to Note 6(5) to parent company only financial statements for details of inventories.
~3~
Description:
The Company’s inventories are an important asset for operations, accounting for about 42% of its total assets; inventory values are handled in accordance with the International Accounting Standards (IAS) 2. As the net realizable value of the Company’s inventory based on Management’s estimates of future sales prices and construction costs are susceptible to political and economic circumstances. If the net realizable value is not properly appraised, the financial statements will be misstated. Therefore, the test of inventory values is one of our key audit matters during the audit of the Company’s financial statements.
Audit procedures
The audit procedures we have implemented for the specific aspects described in the above-mentioned key audit matters include: Obtained the assessment data of the net realizable value of the Company’s inventories and randomly examined the contracts related to property sold, referred to the latest property prices registered with the Ministry of the Interior or obtained the information on transactions of nearby property to evaluate the net realizable value of the property held for sale and the land for construction. In addition, for the net realizable value of the property under construction, obtained and randomly examined the Company’s return of investment analysis, compared it with the market conditions, and obtained appraisal reports, if necessary, to evaluate whether the net realizable value of inventories was appropriate.
Responsibilities of the management and the governing bodies for the 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.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, the management is responsible for assessing the ability of the Company in continuing as a going concern, disclosing relevant matters, and adopting the going concern basis of accounting unless the management intends to liquidate the Company or cease the operations without other viable alternatives.
The Company’s governing bodies (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.
Auditor’s responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement arising from fraud or error and to issue an independent auditors’ report. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Untruthful expressions might have been caused by frauds or errors. If the amounts of misstatements, either separately or in aggregate, could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of the users of the parent company only financial statements, they are considered material.
We have utilized our professional judgment and professional doubt when performing the audit work in accordance with the auditing standards of the Republic of China. We also performed the following tasks:
-
Identified and assessed the risks of material misstatement arising from fraud or error within the parent company only financial statements; designed and executed countermeasures in response to said risks, and obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence 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.
-
Understood the internal control related to the audit in order to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, while not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluated the adequacy of accounting policies adopted by the management and the legitimacy of accounting estimates and related disclosures made.
~3-1~
-
Concluded on the appropriateness of the management's adoption of the going concern basis of accounting based on the audit evidence obtained and whether a material uncertainty exists for events or conditions that may cast significant doubt over the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we are of the opinion that a material uncertainty exists, we shall remind users of the parent company only financial statements to pay attention to relevant disclosures in said statements within our audit report. If such disclosures are inadequate, we need 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 cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluated the overall presentation, structure, and content of the parent company only financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the parent company only financial statements adequately present the relevant 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 the Company.
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).
From the matters communicated with the governing bodies, we determined the key audit matters for the audit of the Company's parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. 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.

(III) New and revised standards and interpretations not yet endorsed by the FSC
The standards and interpretations that have been issued and revised by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB) but have not yet been endorsed by the FSC and may be relevant to the Company are as follows:
| New and revised standards | Major revisions | Effective date announced by IASB |
|---|---|---|
| IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements" | The new standard introduces three types of income and expense, two income statement subtotals, and a single note on management's performance measurement. These three amendments and enhanced guidance on how information are divided into financial statements have laid the foundation for better and more consistent information provided to users, and will affect all companies. |
• More structured income statement: Under existing standards, companies use different formats to present their operating results, making it difficult for investors to compare the financial performance of different companies. The new standard adopts a more structured income statement, introduces a newly defined subtotal of "operating income," and stipulates that all income, expenses and losses are classified into three new different categories based on the company's main operating activities.
• Management Performance Measurements (MPMs): The new standard introduces the definition of MPM, and requires companies to explain in a single note why the information of each measurement indicator can be provided, its calculation method and how the indicators were adjusted with the amounts recognized in accordance with the IFRSs.
• Detailed information: The new standard includes guidance on how to strengthen the grouping of information in the financial statements. This includes guidance on whether the information should be included in the main financial statements or further broken down in notes. | January 1, 2027
Note: On September 25, 2025, the FSC issued a press release announcing that Taiwan would adopt IFRS No. 18 for the 2028 accounting year. |
The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the above standards and interpretations on the Company's financial position and operating results and will disclose relevant impacts when completing the evaluation.
The Company does not expect that other new and revised standards that have not yet been endorsed below will have a material impact on the parent company only financial statements.
- Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28, "Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture"
- IFRS No. 19 "Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosure" and amendments to IFRS No. 19
- Amendments to IAS 21 "Translation to a Hyperinflationary Presentation Currency"

IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
A summary of the significant accounting policies adopted in the parent company only financial statements is as follows. The following accounting policies have been consistently applied to all the reporting periods 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
The parent company only financial statements were prepared at historical cost except the important items in the balance sheet below:
- Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss that are measured at fair value
- Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income that are measured at fair value
- Investment property measured at fair value
2. 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:
- Equity instrument designated at fair value through other comprehensive income;
- Financial liabilities designated as net investment hedge for foreign operations, which are within the effective scope of hedging; or
- Qualified cash flow hedge, which within the effective scope of hedging.
2. 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 non-controlling 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.
~10~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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
The Company's assets that meet one of the following conditions are listed as current assets, and all other assets that are not current assets are listed as non-current assets:
- 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)
- Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;
- Assets expected the balance realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date; or
- The assets are cash or cash equivalents (as defined by IAS 7), unless the exchange of the assets or their use to settle liabilities at least twelve months after the reporting period are restricted.
The Company's liabilities that meet one of the following conditions are classified as current liabilities, and all liabilities other than current liabilities are classified as non-current liabilities:
- Expected to be repaid within the normal business cycle (typically longer than one year for the construction business)
- Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;
- The liability is due within 12 months after the reporting period; or
- At the end of the reporting period, the Company does not have the right to defer the settlement of the liabilities for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
(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
The Company adopts consistent accounting treatments based on settlement days for all the financial assets classified in the same way and purchased or sold at an arm's length.
Financial assets are classified as financial assets at amortized cost, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, 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.
~11~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
(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
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.
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.
Dividend income from equity investments is recognized on the date when the Company is entitled to receive dividends (usually the ex-dividend date).
(3) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets (e.g., financial assets held for trading or managed at fair value with performance assessed), which are not measured at amortized cost or are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income as above, are measured at fair value through profit or loss, including derivative financial assets. Upon initial recognition, to eliminate or significantly reduce accounting mismatch, the Company may irrevocably designate the financial assets that meet the criteria for being measured at amortized cost or at fair value through other comprehensive income as at fair value through profit or loss.
Such assets are subsequently measured at fair value, and the net gain or loss (including any dividend and interest income) is recognized in profit or loss.
(4) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes an allowance for losses on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents), note receivables, accounts receivables, other receivables, refundable deposits and other financial assets) and expected credit losses on contract assets.
~12~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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 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.
~13~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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. Based on their experience, it is impossible to collect the overdue amount from corporate accounts after 360 days.
(5) 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 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.
~14~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
(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 standalone financial statements, the Company adopts the equity method to evaluate the investees over which the Company has control. With the equity method, the current profit or loss and other comprehensive income in the standalone 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 standalone 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 properties are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at fair value, and any changes are recognized in profit or loss.
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.
~15~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
(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:
(1) Leasehold improvement 5 years
(2) Other equipment 3 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.
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.
~16~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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 right-of-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 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.
~17~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
(XII) 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 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 cash-generating unit.
An impairment loss is recognized when the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit is lower than the carrying amount thereof.
An impairment loss is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The carrying amount of goodwill 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.
(XIII) 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.
(XIV) 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.
~18~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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) 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 pre-sale property 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 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.
~19~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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.
(XV) 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.
(XVI) Share-based payment transaction
The share-based payment to employees is recognized as remuneration cost and the relative equity is increased when the employees are entitled to the remuneration unconditionally. The amount of remuneration cost recognized is adjusted based on the expected number of rewards that meet the service conditions and the non-market price vested conditions. The amount recognized ultimately is based on the number of rewards that meet the service conditions and the non-market price vested conditions on the vested date.
The non-vested conditions of the share-based payment have been reflected in the measurement of the fair value on the grant date, and the difference between the expected and actual results does not need to be verified and adjusted.
The fair value of the share appreciation right paid to employees for cash settlement should be recognized as expenses and the corresponding liabilities should be increased when the employees are entitled to the remuneration unconditionally. The liabilities are re-measured at the fair value of the share appreciation right on each reporting date and settlement date, and any changes are recognized in profit or loss.
The grant date of the share-based payment of the Company is the date of the capital increase approved by the Board of Directors.
(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.
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 at the reporting date. Temporary differences arising from the circumstances below are not recognized in deferred tax:
- Assets or liabilities originally recognized in a transaction that is not a business merger, and at the time of the transaction (i) does not affect accounting profits and taxable income (loss) and (ii) does not generate equivalent taxable and deductible temporary difference;
- 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.
~20~
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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:
- Has the statutory enforcement power to offset current income tax assets and current income tax liabilities; and
- 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. The potential dilutive ordinary shares of the Company include convertible corporate bonds and remuneration to employees.
(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. Critical Accounting Judgments and Key Sources of Estimation and Uncertainty
When preparing these parent company only financial statements, 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.
Management of the consolidated company continues to review the estimates and basic assumptions, which are consistent with the risk management and climate-related commitments of the consolidated company. Changes in the estimated value are deferred and recognized in the period of change and the affected future period.
The accounting policies involve significant judgement, and the information with a material impact on the amounts recognized in this parent company only financial statements: None.
The substantial risk of substantial adjustments to the asset and liability balances in the subsequent fiscal year is introduced by the substantial uncertainty surrounding the following assumptions and estimates. Considerable information is presented below:
(I) Inventory
Inventory is recognized at the lower of costs or net realizable values. The Company evaluates the net realizable value of inventory on the reporting date based on estimates of future selling prices and construction costs, subject to the influence of political and economic environments. Therefore, the net realizable value may experience material changes. Please refer to Note 6(5) for details of inventory valuation.

(II) Fair value of investment property
The subsequent measurement of the investment properties of the Company is evaluated by the discounted cash flow analysis method under the income approach, and Level 3 inputs are used in the fair value valuation technique.
Valuation process
The Company's accounting policies and disclosures include the adoption of fair value to measure its financial and non-financial assets and liabilities. Among them, the Finance Department is 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: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
- Level 2: 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 that are not based on observable inputs (unobservable inputs) for the asset or liability.
Transfer policy between levels
If there is a transfer event or situation between the levels of fair value, the Company will recognize the transfer on the reporting date.
Further information on assumptions adopted to measure fair value
Please refer to the following notes for relevant information on the assumptions adopted to measure the fair value:

- Land in Toufen City, Miaoli County
| Property | Important contract terms |
|---|---|

Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
(1) Actual rent and the annual growth rent of rent
During the construction period, the income is based on the rent specified in the contract. During the operation period, we apply to Taiwan Power Corporation for the installed capacity of 10MW on the appraised property, based on the average annual power generation of 1,218 kWh from power generation equipment in Miaoli County in 2025 and 2024, and the average bulk purchase rate at NT$3.519/kWh and NT$3.743/kWh for ground-mounted solar equipment announced by the Bureau of Energy of the Ministry of Economic Affairs, added 15% for the subsidies in regions north of Miaoli to calculate the total electricity sales revenue.
With respect to the increase in revenue from electricity sales, the bulk purchase rate of the appraised property adopts the ceiling rate for the establishment permit of the power generation operators based on the "2025 Renewable Energy Electricity Bulk Purchase Rate and the Calculation Formula", and the rate is for the bulk purchase for 20 years, so there is no increase in electricity price.
(2) Estimation of discount rate
The discount rate is determined by the risk premium method, which takes into account factors such as banks' time deposit interest rates, the government's bond interest rates, risks of real estate investments, currency changes and trends of price changes in real properties to select the investment rate of return for general financial instruments, adjusted by the differences in the investment instruments and individual characteristics of the properties. The discount rate is based on Chunghwa Post' two-year postal time deposit variable rate plus excess-3 interest rate on December 31, 2025 and 2024, of 2.470%, and takes into account the property's income, liquidity, risk, value appreciation, and the degree of difficulty in terms of management. The risk premium was added to determine the discount rates of 3.845%.
(3) Estimation of ending disposal value
The income price for the disposal of property at the end of the period was NTD 7,261 thousand/year and NTD 7,224 thousand/year on December 31, 2025 and 2024, respectively. The calculation of the disposal price of property at the end of the period was NTD 348,860 thousand and NTD 347,660 thousand, respectively.
(4) The abovementioned fair value valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs are explained in the following table:
| Fair value valuation technique | Significant unobservable input | Relationship between significant unobservable input and fair value evaluation |
|---|---|---|
| The discounted cash flow analysis (DCF) using the income approach is adopted to evaluate the contractual rent provided by the consolidated company. | sk-adjusted discount rate on 2025.12.31: 3.845% | estimated fair value would increase (or decrease) if: ie risk-adjusted discount rate decreases (increases). |
| Discounted cash flow analysis using the income approach: Refers to the method of estimating the price of the appraised property by summing up the net income of each period and ending value of future discounted cash flow after discounting at an appropriate discount rate. The method is applicable to valuation of real properties for investment purpose. | 2024.12.31: 3.845% |

Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
Pursuant to the Company Act, the Company shall issue new shares or pay out cash in proportion to the existing shareholders' shares from the realized capital surplus after the capital surplus is used to compensate the deficit first. The realized capital surplus referred to in the preceding paragraph includes the premium from the shares issued at par and the income from gifts. Pursuant to the Regulations Governing the Offering and Issuance of Securities by Securities Issuers, the total amount of capital surplus to be used as capital shall not exceed 10% of the paid-in capital.
- Retained earnings
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) Special reserve
The Company chose the fair value model for the subsequent measurement of the investment property booked in the book. According to the regulations of the Financial Supervisory Commission, for the net increase in fair value measured by the fair value model for the first time, the same amount of special reserve was provided. However, on the conversion date, in order to make up for the deficit, the special reserve may be exempted according to the regulations. Subsequently, the Company may be exempted from the provision of this part of the special reserve. When the Company distributes the distributable earnings each year, the special reserve shall be appropriated in the following order:
① For the net increase in fair value due to the continuous adoption of the fair value model for the subsequent accounting of investment property in the current year, the net increase in the current period net profit after tax plus the item other than the undistributed earnings should be set aside as special reserves in the same amount. If it is a net increase accumulated in the fair value in the previous period, the special reserve shall be set aside in the same amount from the undistributed earnings of the previous period and shall not be distributed. When the cumulative net increase listed in investment property decreases or is disposed of, a reversal of earnings distribution may be made for the decreased portion or according to the disposal situation.
② For the difference between the net amount debited to the other shareholders' equity in the current year and the balance of the special reserve provided in the preceding paragraph, the items other than the net profit after tax of the current period plus the unappropriated earnings of the current period and the prior undistributed surplus make up the provision of the special reserve. For the deduction amount of other shareholders' equity in the previous period, special reserves shall be set aside from undistributed earnings in the previous period and shall not be distributed. If the amount debited to other shareholders' equity is reversed afterwards, the reversed amount may be distributed as earnings.
(3) Earnings distribution
At the shareholders' meetings on June 27, 2025 and May 3, 2024, it was resolved not to distribute the earnings from 2024 and not to offset the loss from 2023.

| $ 27,259 | 138,080 | 452 | |
| Contract liabilities -Sales of property | $ - | 93,019 | 226,922 |
Please refer to Note 6(4) for the information on notes receivable, accounts receivable, and impairment thereof.
The balance of contract liabilities at the beginning of the period on January 1, 2025 and 2024 was recognized as income in 2025 and 2024 for an amount of NT$93,019 thousand and NT$174,177 thousand, respectively.
The change in contract liabilities is mainly due to the timing difference between the time of the Company's transfer of goods or services to customers to fulfill its contractual obligations (i.e., recognizing contract liabilities as revenue) and the time of payment made by the customers.
(XIX) Remunerations to employees and directors
The Company revised its Articles of Incorporation with a resolution passed by the shareholders' meeting on June 27, 2025. According to the revised Articles of Incorporation, if the Company makes a profit in a year, it shall allocate no less than 4% as employee remuneration (of which no less than 5% shall be distributed to entry-level employees) and no more than 4% as directors' remuneration. 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's estimated employee remuneration for 2025 and 2024 was NT$1,246 thousand and NT$1,577 thousand, and the estimated director remuneration is NT$0. The amount was based on the pre-tax net profit of the period deducted by employee remuneration and director remuneration, and then deducted by accumulated losses, and multiplied by the distribution ratio of employee remuneration and director remuneration as set forth in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, and recognized as operating expenses for the respective periods. If the actual distribution amount differs from the estimated amount in the following year, it will be treated as a change in accounting estimate and the difference will be recognized as gains and losses for the following year.
For 2024, the Company's remuneration to employees was NT$1,577 thousand, remuneration to directors was NT$0, which is not different from actual distribution. The Company reported accumulated losses in 2023, and hence there was no need to distribute remunerations to employees or directors. Relevant information is available at the Market Observation Post System.

(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 Note 6 (4) for credit risk exposure of notes receivable and accounts receivable.
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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 (6) for how the Company determines low credit risks.)
2. Liquidity risk
The table below shows the maturity dates of contractual financial liabilities, including estimated interest but excluding the effect of netting arrangement.
| Carrying amount | Contractual cash flow | Within 6 months | 6-12 months | 1-2 years | 2-5 years | More than 5 years | |

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.
3. 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.
All other variables being equal, any 1% increase in interest rates would result in a decrease or increase by NT$1,118 thousand and NT$807 thousand in the Company's earnings before tax for 2025 and 2024, respectively. This would be primarily due to the Company loans and deposits in variable interest rates.
4. Other price risks
If the price of equity securities changes on the reporting date (the same basis is adopted for the analysis of the two periods with an assumption that other factors remain unchanged), the impact on the comprehensive income items is as follows:
| Security price on the reporting date | 2025 | 2024 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Other comprehensive income after tax | Income before tax | Other comprehensive income after tax | Income before tax | |
| Up by 5% | $ 1,109 | 11 | 1,127 | 21 |
| Down by 5% | $ (1,109) | (11) | (1,127) | (21) |

5. Information on fair value
(1) Types and fair values of financial instruments
The Company measures recurring fair values of the financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and at fair value through other comprehensive income. 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:
| 2025.12.31 | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Carrying amount | Fair value | ||||
| Level 1 | Level 2 | Level 3 | Total | ||
| Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss | |||||
| Non-derivative financial assets at fair value through profit or loss | $ 228 | 228 | - | - | 228 |
| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income | |||||
| Domestic and foreign unlisted stocks | $ 22,176 | - | - | 22,176 | 22,176 |
| 2024.12.31 | |||||

| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income | |||||
| Domestic and foreign unlisted stocks | $ 22,540 | - | - | 22,540 | 22,540 |
(2) 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:
(2.1) 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 evaluating 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.
(3) Fair value valuation techniques for financial instruments at fair value
(3.1) 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.
Notes to Parent Company Only Financial Statements of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (Continued)
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.
If there is an active market for financial instruments held by the Company, their fair values are determined with reference to the quoted prices in the 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.
(4) Transfer between Levels 1 and 2: None
(5) Details of changes in Level 3
| At fair value through other comprehensive income | |

| Recognized in other comprehensive income | 2,822 |
| December 31, 2024 | $ 22,540 |
(6) 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.

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:
| Input | Up/down movements | Changes in fair value reflected in other comprehensive income | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Favorable change | Unfavorable change | |||
| December 31, 2025 | ||||
| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income | ||||
| Investment in equity instruments without active markets | Non-controlling interest discount | ±10% | 1,689 | (1,689) |
| Liquidity discount | ±10% | 3,168 | (3,168) | |
| Book-to-market multiplier | ±10% | 640 | (640) | |
| December 31, 2024 | ||||
| Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income | ||||
| Investment in equity instruments without active markets | Non-controlling interest discount | ±10% | 1,770 | (1,770) |
| Liquidity discount | ±10% | 3,220 | (3,220) | |
| Book-to-market multiplier | ±10% | 601 | (601) |
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 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.
~42~
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
The Company did not provide any endorsements or guarantees in 2025. The mutual endorsements and guarantees in 2024 as required by the contracts between the Company and joint builders for joint investment, construction or development.
- 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.
~43~
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 for 2025 remained consistent with that of 2024: maintaining a certain debt-to-capital ratio to ensure financing at a reasonable cost.
The debt-to-equity ratios as of December 31, 2025 and 2024 are as follows:
| 2025.12.31 | 2024.12.31 | |
|---|---|---|
| Total liabilities | $ 375,571 | 883,633 |
| Less: Cash and cash equivalents | (383,152) | (668,600) |
| Net liability | (7,581) | 215,033 |
| Total equity | 1,626,720 | 1,181,964 |
| Adjusted capital | $ 1,619,139 | 1,396,997 |
| Debt-to-equity ratio | -% | 15.39% |
The change in the Company's debt-to-equity ratio as of December 31, 2025, was primarily attributable to the repayment of bank loans during the year, which lowered net debt and resulted in a lower debt-to-equity ratio compared to the same period last year.
(XXIV) Non-cash transactions and investments and financing activities
