Independent Auditors’ Review Report
To Better Life Group Co., Ltd.,
Introduction
We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Better Life Group Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as the “Company”) and its subsidiaries (hereinafter collectively referred to as the “Group”) as of June 30, 2025 and 2024, the consolidated statement of comprehensive income for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 the statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 and the related notes of the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statement in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.
Scope
We conducted our review in accordance with the International Standard on Review Engagements (ISRE) 2410 “Review of Financial Statement”. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.
Conclusion
Based on our review, nothing has come to our attention that caused us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as at June 30, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated financial performance for the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024, and its consolidated cash flows for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Notes to Readers
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are intended only to present the consolidated financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with the accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions.

| New and revised standards IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements" |
Major revisions 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 Measurement (MPM): 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. |

| appraisal | December 31, 2024: $200,110 |
| June 30, 2024: $177,140 |
The valuation of the fair value of the investment properties and the changes and decisions of cash inflows and cash outflows in each period in the future are based on the principles of the contract related to the signing of the lease above, and the relevant information is as follows:
- (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 2024, and the average bulk purchase rate at 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 "2024 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.

Notes to the consolidated financial statements of Better Life Group Co., LTD. and the Subsidiaries (continued)
(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's two-year postal time deposit variable rate plus excess-3 interest rate on June 30, 2025 and December 31 and June 30, 2024, of 2.470%, 2.470%, and 2.345%, respectively, 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%, 3.845%, and 3.720%, respectively.
- (3) Estimation of ending disposal value
The proceeds of real property disposal at the end of the period on June 30, 2025 and December 31 and June 30, 2024 were NT$7,224 thousand per year, NT$7,224 thousand per year, and NT$8,101 thousand per year, respectively, and the calculated ending real property disposal prices were NT$347,660 thousand, NT$347,660 thousand and NT$337,624 thousand, respectively.
- (4) The abovementioned fair value valuation techniques and significant unobservable inputs are explained in the following table:
| Fairvalue valuation technique The discounted cash flow analysis (DCF) using the income approach is adopted to evaluate the contractual rent provided by the consolidated company. 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. |
Significant unobservable input ‧Risk-adjusted discount rate on 2025.6.30: 3.845% 2024.12.31: 3.845% 2024.6.30: 3.720% |

The realized capital surplus referred to in the preceding paragraph includes the premium from the shares issued at par and the
~ 20 ~

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.
3. 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:
-
①For 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.
-
②For 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.

(XVI) Earnings (losses) per share
1. Basic earnings (losses) per share
The Company’s basic earning (loss) per share for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 were calculated based on the net profit (loss) attributable to the equity holders of the Company's ordinary shares and the weighted average number of outstanding ordinary shares. The relevant numbers are as follows:
(1) Net profit (loss) attributable to equity holders of the Company’s ordinary shares

2. Diluted earnings (losses) per share
For the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 the Company's diluted earnings (losses) were calculated based on the net income (loss) attributable to the Company's common stock shareholders. The calculation is based on the weighted average number of outstanding common shares after the potential dilution effects of common shares, and is calculated as follows:

Please refer to Note 6(4) for the information on notes receivable, accounts receivable, and impairment thereof.
The opening balances of contract liabilities for January 1, 2025 and 2024 were recognized in income in the amount of NT$ 34,839 thousand and NT$0 for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024.
The change in contract liabilities is mainly due to the timing difference between the time of the consolidated 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.
(XVIII) Remunerations to employees and directors
The Company's Articles of Incorporation were amended on June 27, 2025, as resolved by the shareholders’ meeting. According to the amended Articles of Incorporation, if a profit is realized in a year, at least 4% of the profit shall be allocated as employee remuneration (of which at least 5% shall be distributed to grassroots employees), and no more than 4% as director 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.
For the three months and six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 Company's estimated employee remuneration was NT$0, NT$0, NT$561 thousand, and NT$0; the estimated director remuneration was 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, and remuneration to directors was NT$0, which is not different from the 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.

1. Credit risk
(1) Maximum exposure to credit risk
The carrying amount of financial assets represents the maximum exposure to credit risk.
(2) Credit concentration risk
The consolidated company has a wide clientele, without trading significantly
~ 25 ~
Notes to the consolidated financial statements of Better Life Group Co., LTD. and the Subsidiaries (continued)
concentrated with a single customer. Hence, the credit risk of accounts receivable is not significantly concentrated.
- (3) Credit risk of receivables and debt securities
Please refer to Note 6 (4) for credit risk exposure of notes receivable and accounts receivable.
Other financial assets measured at amortized cost include other receivables (other financial assets–current). All the aforesaid financial risks have low credit risks and hence the loss allowance is measured with the 12-month expected credit loss. (Please refer to Note 4 (7) of the 2024 consolidated financial statements for how the consolidated company determines low credit risks).

The consolidated company does not expect the timing of cash flows to be significantly early or the amount to be significantly different from the maturity analysis.
3. Interest rate risk
Interest rate exposure of the consolidated company’s financial assets and financial liabilities is explained in this note on liquidity risk management.
The sensitivity analysis below is based on the exposure of derivative and non-derivative
~ 26 ~
Notes to the consolidated financial statements of Better Life Group Co., LTD. and the Subsidiaries (continued)
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 consolidated company’s internal reporting to management regarding interest rates is based on 1% increase or decrease. It also represents the management’s assessment of the possible and reasonable range of changes in interest rates.
All other variables being equal, any 1% increase (decrease) in interest rates would result in an increase (decrease) by NT$737 thousand and a decrease (increase) by NT$263 thousand in the consolidating company's earnings before tax for the six months ended June 30, 2025 and 2024 respectively. This would be primarily due to the consolidation of company loans in variable interest rates.

- (2) Fair value valuation techniques for financial instruments not at fair value
The methods and assumptions used by the consolidated company for the instruments not measured 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. Market prices of liquid securities on major exchanges and the prices published by the trading center of central government bonds are the basis for fair values of equity instruments listed on TWSE/TPEx and fixed income instruments with active markets and open quotes.
A financial instrument is deemed to be with quoted prices in the active markets if its quoted prices can be obtained from exchanges, brokers, underwriters, industry associations, pricing services institutions, or competent authorities in a timely and regular manner, and the prices represent the prices in actual fair market transactions that occur frequently. If the above criteria are not met, the market is deemed inactive. Generally speaking, a large bid-ask spread, a significant increase in the bid-ask spread, or a low trading volume are all indicators of an inactive market.
If there is an active market for financial instruments held by the consolidated 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 there is no active market for the financial instruments held by the consolidated company, the asset-based approach is used for the estimation of fair values of equity instruments without open quoted prices according to different categories and characteristics. The primary assumptions are based on the balance sheet of investees. The estimate has been adjusted for the effect of the discount

- (6) Quantitative information on measurement of significant unobservable fair value input (Level 3)
The consolidated company’s level 3 fair value measurements are primarily for financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income – equity securities investment.
Most of the fair values classified as level 3 by the consolidated company only contain single, material and unobservable inputs. Only the equity instruments without an active market depend on multiple material and unobservable inputs. Significant unobservable inputs for investments in equity instruments with no active market are independent of each other and therefore do not correlate.
Quantitative information on significant unobservable inputs is listed as follows:
| Item Financial assets at FVTOCI – investments in equity instruments without active markets Financial assets at FVTOCI – investments in equity instruments without active markets |
Valuation technique Comparable Listed Company Act Asset method |
Significant unobservable input ‧Discount on liquidity (30.00% on 2025.6.30, 2024.12.31 and 2024.6.30) ‧Net market value multiplier (1.88%, 2.53%, and 1.77% on 2025.6.30, 2024.12.31 and 2024.6.30) ‧Discount on liquidity (30.00% on 2025.6.30, 2024.12.31 and 2024.6.30) ‧Discount on non-controlling interests (6.63% on |

- (7) Analysis of sensitivity of Level 3 fair value to reasonably possible alternative assumptions
The consolidated company’s fair value measurements of financial instruments are reasonable. However, the use of different valuation models or parameters may result in different valuation outcomes. For financial instruments classified as Level 3, if the valuation parameters change, the effect on the current profit or loss or other comprehensive income is as follows:
June 30, 2025 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income December 31, 2024 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income June 30, 2024 Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

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