Independent Auditors' Report

The Board of Directors and Shareholders China Ecotek Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying standalong financial statements of China Ecotek Corporation (The “Company”), which comprise the standalong balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the standalong statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the the standalong financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying standalong financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the standalong financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its standalong financial performance and its standalong cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accoundants and auditing standards generally accepted in Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalong Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accoundant of the Republic of China and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the standalong financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the standalong financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters of the Company's standalong financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 are stated as follows:

Assessment of the estimated total project cost

The Company has signed many construction contracts, and recognized construction revenues according to the percentage completion method during the contract period. If a construction

-2-

contract is expected to result in a loss, the total loss resulting from the contract must be immediately recognized. Construction progress is calculated based on the actual construction costs incurred under each contract as a percentage of the estimated total construction cost of the project. The estimated total project cost involves a major accounting estimate, and affects the recognition of construction progress and revenues. Hence, the assessment of estimated total project cost is listed as a key audit matter. For relevant accounting policies, major accounting estimates, and explanations of determination, please refer to the Standalong Financial Statements Note 4 and Note 5.

Main audit procedures used to assess the estimated total project cost is as follows:

  1. Understand control procedures for the assessment of the estimated total project cost, and conduct sampling inspections of the consistency between preparation process and internal controls.

  2. Conduct a sampling inspection of documentation related to the assessment of the estimated total project cost for new projects and additions/reductions in the current year.

  3. Conduct a sampling inspection to see if there are any major abnormalities between the actual total cost of projects concluded this year and their estimated total project cost, in order to verify the reasonableness of estimated total project cost. Conduct a sampling inspection of abnormal changes in estimated total cost, in order to determine the reasonableness of calculating the percentage of construction progress based on the estimated total project cost before the balance sheet date.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Standalong Financial Statements

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

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

These charged with governance, including the audit committee or supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Standalong Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the standalong financial

-3-

statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatement can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these standalong financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the standalong financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentation, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accouting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the standalong financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the standalong financial statements, including the discloseures, and whether the standalong financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

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

-4-

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalong financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yu-Hsiang Liu and Chao-Chun Wang.

IV. Summarized Remarks on Significant Accounting Policies

  • (I) Statement of compliance

  • The consolidated financial statements were prepared in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers."

  • (II) Basis of preparation

  • Except for financial instruments measured at fair value and net defined benefit liability recognized at defined benefit liabilities less fair value of assets of the defined benefit plans, these standalone financial statements have been prepared based on historical cost.

Fair value measurement can be divided into levels 1 to 3 based on the observability and importance of input values:

  1. Level 1 input values: Refers to quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities on the measurement date.

  2. Level 2 input values: Refers to directly (i.e., prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices) observable input values of assets or liabilities other than level 1 quoted prices.

-14-

  1. Level 3 input values: Refers to unobservable input values of assets or liabilities.

The Company used the equity method for subsidiaries and affiliated enterprises when preparing the standalone financial statements. For profit/loss, other comprehensive income, and equity in the current year in the standalone financial statements to match the profit/loss, other comprehensive income, and equity attributable to owners of the Company in the consolidated financial statements, "investments recognized under the equity method," "share of profits/losses of subsidiaries and affiliated enterprises under the equity method," "share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and affiliated enterprises under the equity method," and related equity items were adjusted for several accounting differences between the standalone and consolidated basis.

  • (III) Classification of current and noncurrent assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  1. Assets that are held mainly for trading purposes;

  2. Assets that will be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date; and

  3. Cash and cash equivalents (except those that are restricted as they will be swapped or used to repay liabilities more than 12 months after the balance sheet date).

Current liabilities include:

  1. Liabilities that are held mainly for trading purposes;

  2. Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date; and

  3. Liabilities for which the repayment term cannot be extended unconditionally beyond 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current assets or current liabilities above are classified as noncurrent assets or noncurrent liabilities. The construction business of the Company has a business cycle longer than 1 year, so assets and liabilities of the construction business are divided into current and noncurrent according to standards of a normal business cycle.

  • (IV) Foreign currencies

-15-

When the Company was preparing the standalone financial statements, transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) are recorded after conversion into the functional currency using the exchange rate on the transaction date.

Foreign currency-denominated monetary items are converted using the closing rate on each balance sheet date. Except for currency translation difference resulting from hedging transactions against exchange rate risk, the currency translation difference resulting from settlement or conversion of monetary items is recognized as income or loss in the current year.

Foreign currency-denominated nonmonetary items carried at fair value are converted at exchange rates on the date of fair value measurement. Currency translation differences are also recognized in current profit or loss; for items that have fair value changes recognized in other comprehensive income, currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. Foreign currency-denominated nonmonetary items carried at historical costs are converted on the transaction date and are not re-converted.

If the Company disposes of all equity interests in a foreign operation, or dispose of a portion of equity interests in the subsidiary of a foreign operation but loses control, or the retained equity interest after disposing of an affiliated enterprise of a foreign operation is a financial asset accounted according to the accounting policy for financial instruments, all accumulated currency translation difference related to the foreign operation will be reclassified as profit or loss.

If disposal of a portion of equity interest in a foreign operation by a subsidiary does not result in loss of control, accumulated currency translation difference will be proportionally recognized as an equity transaction but not recognized as profit or loss. Accumulated currency translation difference is reclassified to gains/losses according to the percentage of foreign operations disposed of in any other part.

(V)

Inventory

Inventory includes raw materials and finished goods. Inventories are measured at cost and net realizable value, whichever is lower. Unless the inventories are in the same category, the cost and net realizable value is compared for each individual item. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price under normal

-16-

circumstances, less the estimated cost of completion and selling expenses. The cost of inventories is calculated at its weighted average.

  • (VI) Investments recognized under the equity method

The Company handles investments in subsidiaries and affiliated enterprises using the equity method.

  1. Investment subsidiary

A subsidiary refers to an entity in which the Company exercises control. Under the equity method, investments are originally recognized at cost, and then its book value increases along with the Company's share of profits, losses and other comprehensive income of subsidiaries and profit distribution. Furthermore, changes to other equity interests of subsidiaries are recognized according to the Company's shareholding ratio.

Any change in the ownership interest that does not cause the Company to lose control of the subsidiary is accounted under the equity method. Difference between the book value of an investee and the fair value of considerations paid/received is directly recognized as equity.

When the Company's share of loss in a subsidiary is equal to or exceeds the Company's equity in the subsidiary (including the subsidiary's carrying amount under the equity method and other long-term equity interests that are part of the Company's net investment in the subsidiary), the loss is recognized according to the shareholding percentage.

When the Company assesses impairment, cash generating units are considered as a whole in financial statements and the recoverable amount is compared with the carrying amount. When the recoverable amount of assets increases, then impairment loss is reversed and recognized as gain. However, after reversal of impairment losses, the carrying amount of assets may not exceed the amortized carrying amount of assets before recognizing impairment loss. Goodwill impairment may not be reversed in subsequent periods.

When the Company loses control over a subsidiary, the Company measures the remaining investment in the former subsidiary based on the fair value on the date control was lost. The difference between the fair value of the remaining investment with the proceeds from disposal and

-17-

the investment's carrying amount on the date control is lost is listed as profit or loss in the current year. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income related to the subsidiary shall be accounted on the same basis as if the subsidiary had directly disposed of such assets or liabilities.

Unrealized gains from downstream transactions between the Company and subsidiaries are eliminated from the standalone financial statements. Gains/losses arising from upstream transactions between the Company and subsidiaries and transactions among subsidiaries were not within the scope of control exercised by the Company over subsidiaries, and were thus recognized in the standalone financial statements.

Investment in affiliated enterprises

An affiliated enterprise is an enterprise in which the Company has significant influence, but is not a subsidiary or a joint venture. Joint venture refers to an agreement between the Company with other companies to have joint control and rights over net assets.

The Company's investments in affiliated enterprises are recognized under the equity method. Under the equity method, investments in affiliated enterprises are originally recognized at cost, and then its book value increases along with the Company's share of profits, losses and other comprehensive income of affiliated enterprises and profit distribution. Furthermore, changes to equity interests of affiliated enterprises are recognized according to shareholding ratio.

When an affiliated enterprise issues new shares, if the Company does not subscribe for the shares according to its shareholding percentage and results in a change in shareholding percentage, which causes the net value of equity invested to increase or decrease, capital surplus – net value of equity of affiliated enterprises recognized under the equity method and investments recognized under the equity method will be adjusted according to the change. If ownership interest in an affiliated enterprise decreases due to not subscribing for or acquiring shares according shareholding ratio, all amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income related to the affiliated enterprises will be reclassified according to the decreased percentage, and the basis for

-18-

accounting treatment will be the same as if the affiliated enterprise had directly disposed of such assets or liabilities. If capital surplus needs to be decreased for the adjustment above and the balance of capital surplus from investments recognized under the equity method is insufficient, the difference is deducted from retained earnings.

When the Company is assessing impairment, the overall carrying amount of the investment is viewed as a single asset to compare the recoverable amount with carrying amount for impairment testing, and the impairment losses recognized is a part of the investment's carrying amount. Any reversal of impairment losses is recognized within the scope of increase in recoverable amount of the investment.

The Company stops using the equity method when the investee is no longer an affiliated enterprise, and retained interests in the original affiliated enterprise are measured at fair value. The difference between the fair value and proceeds from the disposal and carrying amount of the investment on the date the equity method is no longer used is listed as a profit or loss in the current year. All amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income related to affiliated enterprises shall be accounted on the same basis as if the affiliated enterprise had directly disposed of such assets or liabilities.

Gains/losses arising from upstream, downstream, and lateral transactions between the Company and affiliated enterprises were not within the scope of control exercised by the Company over affiliated enterprises, and were recognized in the standalone financial statements.

(VII) Joint operations

Joint operations refers to an agreement between the Company with other companies to have joint control and rights over net assets and jointly responsible for liabilities.

When the Company obtains equity in operations that meet the definition of joint operations, it is handled according to the accounting policy for company mergers. However, this does not apply when the parties that share joint control before and after equity of the joint operations is obtained are under the non-temporary control of the same ultimate controller.

With regard to equity of joint operations, the Company recognizes:

-19-

  1. Its assets include the share of any jointly owned assets.

  2. Its liabilities include the share of any jointly borne liabilities.

  3. Its share of sales revenue from joint operations.

  4. Its share of income from sale of joint operations.

  5. Its expenses include the share of any jointly incurred expenses.

The Company handles assets, liabilities, revenues, and expenses related to joint operations they have an equity interest in according to the applicable standards. The Company sells or invests assets in joint operations, profits/losses from the transaction are only recognized with the scope of equity interests other parties have in the joint operations. When the Company purchases assets from the joint operations, the share of the profit/loss is not recognized until the asset is sold to a third party.

  • (VIII) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are measured and recognized at cost after accumulated depreciation.

Property, plant and equipment under construction are recognized at cost. Costs include professional service fees and borrowing costs that meet the conditions for capitalization. When assets are completed and reach the expected state of use, they are classified to a suitable category under property, plant and equipment, and depreciation expenses are recognized.

  • Depreciation is separately recognized for each major part of property, plant and equipment on a straight line basis. The Company reviews methods for estimating useful life in years, residual value, and depreciation, at a minimum, on the last day of each year, as well as the effect of prospective application of changes to accounting estimates.

When derecognizing property, plant and equipment, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the book value is recognized as gains or losses.

  • (IX) Intangible assets

  • Independently acquired Independently acquired intangible assets with a limited useful life is initially measured at cost, and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis during their useful life. The Company reviews methods for estimating useful life in years, residual value, and amortization, at a

-20-

minimum, on the last day of each year, as well as the effect of prospective application of changes to accounting estimates. Intangible assets with an indefinite useful life are listed at cost less accumulated impairment losses.

  1. Derecognition

When derecognizing intangible assets, the difference between net disposal proceeds and the book value is recognized as gains or losses in the current year.

  • (X) Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, intangible assets, and assets related to contract cost

The Company evaluates if there are any signs of impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use assets, and intangible assets on each balance sheet date. If any signs of impairment exist, then the asset's recoverable amount is estimated. If the recoverable amount cannot be estimated on an individual basis, the Company will instead estimate recoverable amounts for the entire cash-generating unit. The recoverable amount of corporate assets is allocated to the smallest identifiable cash-generating group with a reasonable and consistent basis.

Recoverable amounts are determined as the higher of "fair value less cost to sell" or the "utilization value." If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit is expected to be lower than its book value, the Company will reduce the book value of the asset or cash-generating unit down to the recoverable amount and recognize impairment loss.

Impairment losses of inventory, property, plant and equipment, and intangible assets recognized due to customer contracts are first recognized according to inventory impairment rules and the provision above. The book value of assets related to contract costs exceeding the balance of considerations that can be expected to be recovered from the provision of related products or professional services, minus directly related costs, is recognized as impairment loss. The book value of contract cost related assets is then calculated in the cash-generating unit to assess the impairment of the cash-generating unit.

When impairment losses are reversed, the book value of the asset, cash-generating unit, or contract cost related asset is increased to the revised recoverable amount. However, the increased book value may not exceed the

-21-

asset, cash-generating unit, or contract cost related asset's book value in the previous year before impairment loss was recognized (less depreciation and amortization). Reversal of impairment losses is listed in income.

  • (XI) Financial instruments

When the Company is a party to the contract, financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized in the balance sheet.

If financial assets and financial liabilities being recognized for the first time are not measured at fair value through profit or loss, then the are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that can be directly attributed to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities. Transaction costs that can be directly attributed to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets or financial liabilities are immediately recognized as profit or loss.

  1. Financial assets

  2. Regular transactions of financial assets are recognized and derecognized using transaction date accounting.

  3. (1) Type of measurement

    • Financial assets held by the Company include financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets at amortized cost, and equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

    • A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

      • Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets for which the fair value is required to be measured through profit or loss. Financial assets required to be measured at fair value through profit or loss includes investments in equity instruments not specified by the Company to be measured at fair value through other comprehensive income, and investments in liability instruments that do not qualify to be measured at amortized cost or are measured at fair value through other comprehensive income.

      • For "financial assets at fair value through profit or loss," any profit or loss (including any dividends generated by the financial assets) from the remeasurement of fair value is listed in income. Please refer to Note 28 for methods for determining fair value.

-22-

  • B. Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that the Company invests in are classified as financial assets at amortized cost if they meet both of the conditions below:

  • a. Held under a certain business model that aims to collect cash flow from the financial asset; and

  • b. The contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

After recognizing financial assets at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable (including related parties), other receivables, other financial assets, and refundable deposits), they are measured at carrying amount determined using the effective interest rate method less any impairment losses. Any foreign exchange gains/losses are recognized in profit and loss.

Except for the two situations below, interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate with the financial asset's total carrying amount.

  • a. For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate after credit adjustment by the amortized cost of the financial asset.

  • b. For non-purchased or non-originated credit-impaired financial assets that subsequently become credit-impaired financial assets, interest income is calculated by multiplying the effective interest rate by the amortized cost of the financial asset.

Credit-impaired financial assets mean that the issuer or debtor has encountered major financial difficulties, defaulted, may very likely declare bankruptcy or other financial restructuring, or an active market for the financial asset has disappeared due to financial difficulties.

-23-

Cash equivalents include highly liquid time deposits and commercial paper that can be converted into a specific amount of cash with low risk of value change within 3 months after being acquired. Cash equivalents are used to meet short-term cash commitments.

  • C. Investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

The Company may make an irreversible decision during initial recognition to measure equity instruments, which are not held for trading and not recognized from mergers and acquisitions, at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Investments in equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are measured at fair value, and subsequent changes to fair value are listed in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. When disposing of investments, accumulated gains is directly transferred to retained earnings and not reclassified as income. Dividends from equity instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are recognized in income when the Company is determined to have the right to receive the dividends, unless the dividends clearly represent the recovery of partial investment costs.

  • (2) Impairment of financial assets and contract assets

The Company evaluates the impairment loss of financial assets (including accounts receivable) and contract assets at amortized cost using ECL on each balance sheet date.

A loss provision is recognized for lifetime ECL for accounts receivables and contract assets. For other financial assets, whether or not credit risk has significantly increased after the financial asset was recognized is first evaluated. If it has not significantly increased, then a loss provision is recognized for 12-month ECL. If it has significantly increased, then a loss provision is recognized for lifetime ECL.

-24-

ECL is the weighted average credit loss using the risk of default as weights. 12-Month ECL is the ECL from potential default on the financial instrument within 12 months after the reporting date. Lifetime ECL is the ECL from potential default during the expected lifetime of the financial instrument.

For the purpose of internal credit risk management, the Company may deem a financial asset to be in default in the event of any one of the following situations without considering collateral:

  • A. There is internal or external information showing that the debtor is no longer able to repay debts.

  • B. More than 120 days late, unless there is reasonable information with evidence supporting that it is better to extend the deadline for determining default.

The impairment loss on all financial assets is recognized by lowering the book value of the loss provision.

  • (3) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes financial assets when the contractual rights to the cash inflow from the financial asset are terminated or when the Company transfers the financial assets with substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to other enterprises.

When derecognizing a financial asset at amortized cost, the difference between book value and consideration received is recognized in gains or losses. When derecognizing investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income, accumulated gains is directly transferred to retained earnings and not reclassified as income.

  1. Equity instruments

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the price amount obtained less the direct flotation costs.

  1. Financial liabilities

  2. (1) Subsequent measurement

Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method.

  • (2) Derecognition of financial liabilities

-25-

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

(XII) Hedge accounting

The Company engages in cash flow hedges using designated hedging tools (including non-derivative tools for avoiding exchange rate risk), and uses cash flow hedges for hedging against exchange rate risks of firm commitments. Gains and losses on the effective portion of designated hedging tools that are cash flow hedges are recognized in other comprehensive income. The ineffective portion is immediately recognized as profit or loss.

When a hedge is recognized as profit or loss, the amount originally recognized in other comprehensive income will be reclassified to profit or loss, and recognized under hedged items in the Statement of Comprehensive Income. However, when expected hedging transactions are recognized as non-financial assets or non-financial liabilities, the amount originally recognized in other comprehensive income will be transferred from equity to the original cost of the non-financial asset or liability.

The Company only extends or suspends hedge accounting when the hedging relationship no longer meets the criteria of hedge accounting. This includes the maturity, sale, termination, or exercise of hedging tools. The amount already recognized in other comprehensive income during the effective period of the hedge is still recognized in equity before the expected transaction occurs. When the expected transaction is no longer expected to occur, the amount originally recognized in other comprehensive income will be immediately recognized in profit or loss.

(XIII) Liability provision

The amount recognized as liability provision gives consideration to the risk and uncertainty of obligations. It represents the best estimate of the cash outlay needed to settle obligations on the balance sheet date. Liability provision is measured at the discounted cash flow required to settle obligations.

  1. Onerous contracts of projects

-26-

When the Company expects that unavoidable costs of fulfilling obligations of a construction contract will exceed the economic benefits expected to be obtained from the contract, the present obligation of the project's onerous contract is recognized as a liability provision.

Decommissioning and maintenance reserve

When equipment maintenance reserve is recognized as an expense in the current year according to commercial practices, and there is new information that makes it necessary to revise previous estimates, a change in accounting estimate is made to adjust the profit/loss in the current year. When maintenance costs are paid, the equipment maintenance reserve is first offset, and any shortfall is recognized as an expense in the current year.

(XIV) Revenue recognition

After the Company identifies its contractual obligations with each customer, it allocates the transaction price to each contractual obligation, and then recognizes revenue when each contractual obligation is fulfilled.

  1. Sale of goods

  2. Sales revenue is recognized when the Company fulfills contractual obligations by transferring goods to the customer (in principle, when the goods are shipped for domestic sales and when the goods are loaded on to the ship for exports).

Sales revenue is measured at the fair value of considerations (after commercial discounts and quantity discounts) agreed to by the Company with customers. For contracts in which the transfer of goods and collection of consideration is less than one year apart, the trading price of its significant financing component is not adjusted.

  1. Construction revenue

  2. Revenue from construction contracts is gradually recognized by the Company in the construction process. The costs incurred by construction are directly related to the fulfillment of contractual obligations, so the Company estimates progress based on the ratio of actual costs to the estimated total project cost. The Company gradually recognizes contract assets in the construction process, and lists them under accounts receivable when an invoice is issued. If the construction payment

-27-

collected exceeds the amount recognized in revenue, the difference is recognized in contract liabilities. Pursuant to the terms and conditions of contracts, the purpose of construction retainage is to ensure that the Company completes all contractual obligations, and is recognized as a contract asset before the Company completes contract performance.

  1. Provision of labor services

Revenue from the provision of labor services according to a contract is recognized according to the progress of contract completion.

(XV) Lease

On the date a contract is formed, the Company evaluates if the contract is (or includes) a lease.

Where the Company is the lessee

Except for low value asset leases and short-term leases, for which lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease tenor, other leases are all recognized as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities from the start date of the lease.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost (including the original amount of lease liabilities), and are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss, with adjustments made to the remeasurement of lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are independently presented in the balance sheet.

Depreciation of right-of-use assets is recognized on a straight-line basis from the start date of the lease until the expiry of its useful life or lease tenor, whichever is earlier.

Lease liabilities (including fixed payments and variable lease payments determined by an index or rate) are initially measured at the present value of lease payments. If the interest rate implicit in a lease is easy to determine, then lease payments will be discounted using the interest rate. If the interest rate is not easy to determine, then the lessee's incremental borrowing rate of interest is used.

In subsequent periods, lease liabilities is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest rate method, and interest expense is recognized over the lease term. If there is a change to the lease tenor or the index or fee rate used to determine lease payments that results in a

-28-

change in future lease payments, the Company will remeasure lease liabilities and adjust corresponding right-of-use assets. However, if the carrying amount of right-of-use assets has been reduced to zero, then the remaining remeasurement amount will be recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are independently presented in the balance sheet.

Where the Company is the lessor

  • Proceeds received for an operating lease are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease tenor. All initial and direct costs incurred in relation to the negotiation and arrangement of operating leases are added to the book value of the lease asset, and recognized as gains using the straight-line basis over the lease tenor. Under an operating lease agreement, contingent rent is recognized as gains in the year of occurrence.

  • (XVI) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs that can be directly attributed to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualified assets shall be recognized as a part of asset costs, until almost all necessary activities for the asset to reach its expected state of use or sale.

If a specific loan is used for a temporary investment and obtains investment gains before a qualified capital expenditure occurs, the gains shall be deducted from borrowing costs that qualify for capitalization.

All other borrowing costs are recognized as losses in the year they occur.

(XVII) Employee benefits

  1. Short-term employee benefits

  2. Short-term employee benefits-related liabilities are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for employee services.

  3. Post-employment benefit

For defined contribution plans, pension contributions made by the Company over the course of employment are listed as expenses; The cost of defined benefits (including service cost, net interest, and number of remeasurement) for defined benefit plans is calculated using the projected unit credit method. Service costs (including service costs in

-29-

the current period) and net interest accrued on net defined benefit liabilities are recognized as employee benefit expenses when they occur. The number of remeasurement (including calculation of income and losses and return on assets of the plans less interest) is recognized in other comprehensive income when it occurs and listed in retained earnings, and is not reclassified to profit or loss.

Net defined benefit liability is the deficit of contributions to defined benefit plans.

(XVIII) Income tax

Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax and deferred income tax.

  1. Current income tax

The Company determines current income (loss) according to the regulations enacted by each income tax reporting jurisdiction, and calculates the income tax payable (recoverable) on this basis.

Income tax on undistributed earnings is calculated in accordance with the Income Tax Act and recognized in the year the resolution is adopted by the shareholders' meeting.

An adjustment to the income tax payable in the previous year is listed as the current income tax.

  1. Deferred income tax

Deferred income tax is calculated based on the temporary difference between the book value of assets and liabilities from the taxable income that was calculated. Deferred income tax liabilities are generally recognized based on the taxable temporary difference, and deferred income tax assets are recognized when there is likely to be taxable income to offset the temporary difference.

Taxable temporary differences relating to subsidiaries, associated companies and joint ventures are recognized as deferred income tax liabilities, except in cases where the Company is able to control the timing of which temporary differences are reversed, and that such temporary differences are highly unlikely to reverse in the foreseeable future. Deductible temporary differences relating to these investments are recognized as deferred income tax assets only to the extent that sufficient

-30-

taxable income can be earned to offset the temporary differences, and that reversal is expected to occur in the foreseeable future.

The book value of deferred income tax assets is reexamined on each balance sheet date, and the book value is reduced if it is not very likely there will be sufficient taxable income to recover all or a part of the assets. Those that were not recognized as deferred income tax assets are also reexamined on each balance sheet date, and the book value is increased if it is very likely there will be sufficient taxable income to recover all or a part of the assets.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are measured using the tax rate in the period in which liabilities are expected to be paid off or assets are expected to be realized. The tax rate is based on the tax rate and tax law that has been enacted or substantially enacted on the balance sheet date. The measurement of deferred income tax liabilities and assets reflects on the tax effects of the ways the Company expects to recover or pay off the book value of its assets or liabilities on the balance sheet date.

3.

Current and deferred income tax

Current and deferred income tax are recognized in profit or loss, except for items that are bound to be recognized under other comprehensive income or directly as other equity items.

  • V. Significant Accounting Judgments, Estimates and Main Uncertainty Assumptions

When the Company adopts an accounting policy, management must make judgments, estimates, and assumptions based on historical experience and other factors for information that is difficult to obtain from other sources. Actual results may be different from estimates.

Management will continue to examine estimates and basic assumptions. If the adjustment to estimates only affects the current year, then the adjustment is recognized in the current year. If the adjustment to estimates affects the current period and future periods, then the adjustment is recognized in the current period and future periods.

Estimates and main uncertainty assumptions

Construction contracts

Income and costs of construction contracts are recognized according to the progress of the contract, which is determined based on the number of units that

-31-

have been completed and installed as a percentage of the total number of units that will be completed for the contract or costs that have occurred as a percentage of the estimated total cost. For variable considerations, such as incentives and compensation, agreed to in the contract, the amount is only included in contract revenue when uncertainties are eliminated and it is highly unlikely that the amount included in accumulated revenue will be reversed. Since the estimated total number of units or total cost of a contract and contract items are assessed and determined by management based on the nature of the project, expected contract amount, construction period, construction, and technique, any changes to estimates due to changes in the construction situation may have a material impact on the calculation of progress and construction income/losses.

(I) Accounts receivable

The Company's receivables are measured at amortized cost. The Company carefully evaluates customers it does business with. All customers are companies with good credit and not expected to have major credit risk. The Company continues to monitor the financial position and overall credit exposure of customers, and obtains sufficient guarantee to mitigate the risk of asset loss when necessary.

The Company continuously monitors the collection of accounts receivable to ensure that appropriate action has been taken to recover overdue receivables. Furthermore, the Company will verify the recoverable amount of receivables on the balance sheet date to ensure that unrecoverable receivables already properly listed as impairment losses.

The customer's previous default record, current financial position, and industrial and economic trends are taken into consideration. to assess the risk and probability of credit loss.

If there is evidence that the trading counterparty has severe financial difficulty and the Company cannot reasonably expect to recover the amount, the Company will directly write off the accounts receivable, but will continue to seek to recover the amount, and any amount recovered will be recognized in income.

The Company measures the loss provision for receivables as follows:

XVII. Accounts payable

Accounts payable (including related parties) of the Company are all due to operations, and the Company does not provide collateral to creditors for accounts payable (including related parties).

The Company established a financial risk management policy to ensure all payables are repaid within the credit period agreed to in advance, so interest does not need to be added.

Accounts payable include construction retainage in construction contracts. Interest is not accrued on construction retainage, and is paid after the retention period of the construction contract ends. The retention period is the normal business cycle of the Company, and is usually longer than 1 year.

XX. Post-employment benefits plan

  • (I) Defined contribution plan

The Company uses the defined contribution plan managed by the government according to the Labor Pension Act, and contributes 6% of employees' monthly salaries to their individual pension account at the Bureau of Labor Insurance.

  • (II) Defined benefit plan

The pension system implemented by the Company according to the Labor Standards Act of the R.O.C. is the defined benefit plan managed by the government. Payment of employee pensions is calculated based on the employee's years of service and 6-month average wage before the approved date of retirement. The Company makes monthly contributions equal to a certain percentage of employees' monthly salaries and wages to a dedicated account at the Bank of Taiwan under the name of the Supervisory Committee of Workers' Retirement Reserve Fund. Before the end of each year, if the balance in the dedicated account is insufficient to pay the retirement benefits of

-42-

employees who are eligible for retirement in the following year, the deficit will be funded in one appropriation before the end of March in the following year. The dedicated account is managed by the Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor. The Company does not have any right to influence its investment management strategy.

The defined benefit plan amounts listed in the standalone balance sheet is as follows:

The Company is exposed to the following risks due to the pension system of the Labor Standards Act:

  1. Investment risks

The Bureau of Labor Funds (BLF), Ministry of Labor (MOL) invests the labor pension fund in domestic (overseas) equity securities, bonds, and bank deposits at its own discretion and through mandated investments. However, the distributable amount of assets may not be lower than gains calculated using the interest rate for 2-year time deposits at local banks.

  1. Interest rate risk

A decrease in government bond interest rate will cause the present value of defined benefit liabilities to increase. However, the return on assets of

-44-

defined benefit plans will also increase, and the effect of the two on defined benefit liabilities will offset each other.

  1. Salary risk

Calculation of the present value of defined benefit liabilities takes into consideration the future salaries of members of defined benefit plans. Hence, an increase in salaries of members of defined benefit plans will increase the present value of defined benefit liabilities.

The present value of defined benefit liabilities of the Company is calculated by a qualified actuary, and major assumptions on the measurement date are as follows:

Discount rate (%)
Estimated
salary
growth
ratio (%)
Mortality rate
Employee turnover rate (%)
Disability rate
December31,2021

If a reasonable change to a significant actuarial assumption occurs while all other assumptions remain the same, the amount of increase (decrease) in the present value of defined benefit liabilities is as follows:

December 31,2021 December 31,2020
Discount rate
Increased 0.25% $ (15,450) $ (15,590)
Decreased 0.25% $ 16,016 $ 16,188
Estimated salary growth ratio
Increased 0.25% $ 15,411 $ 15,572
Decreased 0.25% $ (14,950) $ (15,081)

Since actuarial assumptions may be related, it is unlikely that only one assumption will change at a time, so the sensitivity analysis above might not reflect on actual changes in present value of defined benefit liabilities.
