Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Groundhog Inc.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Groundhog Inc. (“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of material accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its financial performance and its 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 Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. 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 believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of 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 financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. We have determined the matters described below to be the key audit matters to be communicated in our report.
- Revenue recognition
Please refer to Note 4(l) “Revenue” and Note 5(a) “Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty” to the financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
The Company engages in optimizing its intelligence platform system and provides big data analytics for its clients, which particularly involved the estimates made for percentage of completion ratio recognized as revenue. Therefore, considered revenue recognition as our key audit matter.
KPMG, a Taiwan partnership and a member firm of the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.
3-1
How the matter was addressed in our audit
Our principal audit procedures included understanding the revenue recognition’ s accounting policy and assessing whether they are consistent with the accounting standards; random sampling of each revenue transaction and compare it with the purchase orders, condition of sales contract, input of the project time report, acceptance documentation, and collection records. In addition, we also obtained the ongoing project list to examine the calculation of completion percentage used as a basis for the recognition of contact assets.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’ s ability 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.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements 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 financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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 omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
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.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
3-2
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on 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 auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the 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.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
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 financial statements of the current period 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 audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Huang, Yung-Hua and Yu, Sheng-Ho.

GROUNDHOG INC.
Notes to the Financial Statements
For the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024
(Expressed in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Otherwise Specified)
(1) Company history
Groundhog Inc. (the “Company”) was incorporated on September 12, 2019 as a company limited by shares under the Company Act of the Republic of China (R.O.C.). The Company mainly engages in application development, design, implementation, and installation of other information software services on intelligence platform.
(2) Approval date and procedures of the financial statements:
These financial statements were authorized for issue by the Board of Directors on March 11, 2026.
(3) New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted:
- (a) The impact of the IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. which have already been adopted.
The Company has initially adopted the following new amendments, which do not have a significant impact on its financial statements, from January 1, 2025:
-
●Amendments to IAS21 “Lack of Exchangeability”
-
●Amendments to IFRS 9 and IFRS 7 “ Amendments to the Classification and Measurement of Financial Instruments” regarding the application guidance requirements for Section 4.1 of IFRS 9 and the related disclosure requirements of IFRS 7
-
(b) The impact of IFRS Accounting Standards endorsed by the FSC but not yet effective
The Company assesses that the adoption of the following new amendments, effective for annual period beginning on January 1, 2026, would not have a significant impact on its financial statements:
-
●IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts” and amendments to IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”

GROUNDHOG INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
(c) The impact of IFRS Accounting Standards issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
The following new and amended standards, which may be relevant to the Company, have been issued by the International Accounting Standards Board (IASB), but have yet to be endorsed by the FSC:
| Standards or Interpretations IFRS 18 “Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements” |
Content of amendment Effective date per IASB The new standard introduces three categories of income and expenses, two income statement subtotals and one single note on management performance measures. The three amendments, combined with enhanced guidance on how to disaggregate information, set the stage for better and more consistent information for users, and will affect all the entities. ●A more structured income statement: under current standards, companies use different formats to present their results, making it difficult for investors to fiil f January 1, 2027 Note:On September 25, 2025, the FSC issued a press release announcing that Taiwan will adopt IFRS 18 beginning in 2028. Entities that need to adopt the new standard earlier may do with the endorsement of the FSC. |
|---|---|
-
●A more structured income statement: under current standards, companies use different formats to present their results, making it difficult for investors to compare financial performance across companies. The new standard promotes a more structured income statement, introducing a newly defined ‘operating profit’ subtotal and a requirement for all income and expenses to be allocated between three new distinct categories based on a company’ s main business activities.
-
●Management performance measures (MPMs): the new standard introduces a definition for management performance measures, and requires companies to explain in a single note to the financial statements why the measure provides useful information, how it is calculated and reconcile it to an amount determined under IFRS Accounting Standards.
-
●Greater disaggregation of information: the new standard includes enhanced guidance on how companies group information in the financial statements. This includes guidance on whether information is included in the primary financial statements or is further disaggregated in the notes.
(Continued)
10
GROUNDHOG INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
The Company is evaluating the impact on its financial position and financial performance upon the initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Company completes its evaluation.
The Company does not expect the following other new and amended standards, which have yet to be endorsed by the FSC, to have a significant impact on its financial statements:
-
●Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”
-
●IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures” and amendments to IFRS 19 “Subsidiaries without Public Accountability: Disclosures”

Non-monetary items denominated in foreign currencies that are measured at fair value are translated into the functional currencies using the exchange rate at the date that the fair value was determined.

When the settlement of a monetary receivable from, or payable to, a foreign operation is neither planned nor likely to occur in the foreseeable future, the exchange differences arising thereon form part of the net investment in the foreign operation and are recognized in other comprehensive income.

(e) Cash and cash equivalents
Cash comprises cash on hand and demand deposits. Cash equivalents are short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits which meet the above definition and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments rather than for investment or other purposes should be recognized as cash equivalents.
(f) Financial instruments
Trade receivables are initially recognized when they are originated. All other financial assets and financial liabilities are initially recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument. A financial asset (unless it is a trade receivable without a significant financing component) or financial liability is initially measured at fair value plus, for an item not at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL), transaction costs that are directly attributable to its acquisition or issue. A trade receivable without a significant financing component is initially measured at the transaction price.
(i) Financial assets
All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.
On initial recognition, a financial asset is classified as measured at: amortized cost. Financial assets are not reclassified subsequent to their initial recognition unless the Company changes its business model for managing financial assets, in which case all affected financial assets are reclassified on the first day of the first reporting period following the change in the business model.
- 1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost
A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if it meets both of the following conditions and is not designated as at FVTPL:
-
‧ it is held within a business model whose objective is to hold assets to collect contractual cash flows; and
-
‧ its contractual terms give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest (SPPI) on the principal amount outstanding.
These assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost, which is the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition, plus/minus, the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method, adjusted for any loss allowance. Interest income, foreign exchange gains and losses, as well as impairment, are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is recognized in profit or loss.

GROUNDHOG INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
- 2) Assessment whether contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest
For the purposes of this assessment, ‘ principal’ is defined as the fair value of the financial assets on initial recognition. ‘Interest’ is defined as consideration for the time value of money and for the credit risk associated with the principal amount outstanding during a particular period of time and for other basic lending risks and costs, as well as a profit margin.
In assessing whether the contractual cash flows are solely payments of principal and interest, the Company considers the contractual terms of the instrument. This includes assessing whether the financial asset contains a contractual term that could change the timing or amount of contractual cash flows such that it would not meet this condition. In making this assessment, the Company considers :
-
‧ contingent events that would change the amount or timing of cash flows
; -
‧ terms that may adjust the contractual coupon rate, including variable rate features
; -
‧ prepayment and extension features
;and -
‧ terms that limit the Company’s claim to cash flows from specified assets (e.g. nonrecourse features).
-
3) Impairment of financial assets
The Company recognizes loss allowances for expected credit losses (ECL) on financial assets measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, amortized costs, trade receivables, other receivables, and guarantee deposit paid),
The Company measures loss allowances at an amount equal to lifetime ECL, except for the following which are measured as 12-month ECL:
-
‧ debt securities that are determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date
;and -
‧ other debt securities and bank balances for which credit risk (i.e. the risk of default occurring over the expected life of the financial instrument) has not increased significantly since initial recognition.
Loss allowance for trade receivables are always measured at an amount equal to lifetime ECL.
When determining whether the credit risk of a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition and when estimating ECL, the Company considers reasonable and supportable information that is relevant and available without undue cost or effort. This includes both quantitative and qualitative information and analysis based on the Company’ s historical experience and informed credit assessment as well as forwardlooking information.
(Continued)
14
GROUNDHOG INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
Lifetime ECLs are the ECLs that result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument.
12-month ECLs are the portion of ECLs that result from default events that are possible within the 12 month after the reporting date (or a shorter period if the expected life of the instrument is less than 12 months).
The maximum period considered when estimating ECLs is the maximum contractual period over which the Company is exposed to credit risk.
ECLs are a probability-weighted estimate of credit losses. Credit losses are measured as the present value of all cash shortfalls (i.e the difference between the cash flows due to the Company in accordance with the contract and the cash flows that the Company expects to receive). ECLs are discounted at the effective interest rate of the financial asset.
At each reporting date, the Company assesses whether financial assets carried at amortized cost and debt securities at FVOCI are credit-impaired. A financial asset is ‘ credit-impaired’ when one or more events that have a detrimental impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset have occurred.
Loss allowances for financial assets measured at amortized cost are deducted from the gross carrying amount of the assets.
The gross carrying amount of a financial asset is written off when the Company has no reasonable expectations of recovering a financial asset in its entirety or a portion thereof. For corporate customers, the Company individually makes an assessment with respect to the timing and amount of write-off based on whether there is a reasonable expectation of recovery. The Company expects no significant recovery from the amount written off. However, financial assets that are written off could still be subject to enforcement activities in order to comply with the Company’s procedures for recovery of amounts due.
4) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or it transfers the rights to receive the contractual cash flows in a transaction in which substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset are transferred or in which the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all of the risks and rewards of ownership and it does not retain control of the financial asset.
When the Company enters into a transaction to transfer financial assets, if it retains all or substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the transferred assets, it will continue to be recognized on the balance sheet.

GROUNDHOG INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
(ii) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
- 1) Classification of debt or equity
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
- 2) Equity instrument
An equity instrument is any contract that evidences residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. Equity instruments issued are recognized as the amount of consideration received, less the direct cost of issuing.
- 3) Treasury shares
When repurchasing an equity instrument recognized by the Company, the consideration paid (including directly attributable costs) is recognized as a decrease in equity, wherein the repurchased shares are classified as treasury shares. For the subsequent disposal or re-issuance of treasury shares, the amount collected is recognized as an increase in equity, and the surplus or loss generated from the transaction is recognized as the capital surplus or retained earnings (if the capital surplus is insufficient for offsetting).
- 4) Financial liabilities
Financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. Interest expense and foreign exchange gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss. Any gain or loss on derecognition is also recognized in profit or loss.
- 5) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The Company derecognizes a financial liability when its contractual obligations are discharged or cancelled, or expire. The Company also derecognizes a financial liability when its terms are modified and the cash flows of the modified liability are substantially different, in which case a new financial liability based on the modified terms is recognized at fair value.
On derecognition of a financial liability, the difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability extinguished and the consideration paid (including any non cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed) is recognized in profit or loss.
- 6) Offsetting of financial assets and liabilities
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is presented in the balance sheets when, and only when, the Company currently has a legally enforceable right to set off the amounts and it intends either to settle them on a net basis or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
(Continued)
16
GROUNDHOG INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
(g) Investment in subsidiaries
Investments in subsidiaries are accounted for using the equity method. There is no difference between net income and comprehensive income in the Company’ s financial statements and net income and comprehensive income attributable to stockholders of the parent. The equity in the Company’ s financial statements and the equity attributable to stockholders of the parent in the Company’s financial statements are also the same.
Changes in the Company’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in a loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
-
(h) Property, plant and equipment
-
(i) Recognition and measurement
Items of property, plant and equipment are measured at cost, which includes capitalized borrowing costs, less accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses.
If significant parts of an item of property, plant and equipment have different useful lives, they are accounted for as separate items (major components) of property, plant and equipment.
Any gain or loss on disposal of an item of property, plant and equipment is recognized in profit or loss.
- (ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only if it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the expenditure will flow to the Company.
- (iii) Depreciation
Depreciation is calculated on 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 lives of each component of an item of property, plant and equipment.
The estimated useful lives, for the current and comparative years, of significant items of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
-
1) Office equipment: 2~5 years
-
2) Leased improvements: 5 years
Depreciation methods, useful lives, and residual values are reviewed at each reporting date and adjusted if appropriate.
(i) Lease
At inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether a contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration.
(Continued)
17
GROUNDHOG INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
- (i) As a leasee
The Company recognizes a right-of-use asset and a lease liability at the lease commencement date. The right-of-use asset is initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial amount of the lease liability adjusted for any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs to dismantle and remove the underlying asset or to restore the underlying asset or the site on which it is located, less any lease incentives received.
The right-of-use asset is subsequently depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term. In addition, the right-of-use asset is periodically reduced by impairment losses, if any, and adjusted for certain remeasurements of the lease liability.
The lease liability is initially measured at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at the commencement date, discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease or, if that rate cannot be reliably determined, the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. Generally, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate as the discount rate.
Lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following:
-
-fixed payments, including in-substance fixed payments; -
-variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date; -
-amounts expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; and -
- -
payments for purchase or termination options that are reasonably certain to be exercised.
The lease liability is measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method. It is remeasured when:
-
- -
there is a change in future lease payments arising from the change in an index or rate; or
-
-there is a change in the Company’s estimate of the amount expected to be payable under a residual value guarantee; or -
-there is a change in the lease term resulting from a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise an option to purchase the underlying asset, or -
-there is a change of its assessment on whether it will exercise a extension or termination option; or -
- -
there is any lease modifications
When the lease liability is remeasured, other than lease modifications, a corresponding adjustment is made to the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset, or in profit and loss if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset has been reduced to zero.
(Continued)
18
GROUNDHOG INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
When the lease liability is remeasured to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease for lease modifications that decrease the scope of the lease, the Company accounts for the remeasurement of the lease liability by decreasing the carrying amount of the right of use asset to reflect the partial or full termination of the lease, and recognize in profit or loss any gain or loss relating to the partial or full termination of the lease.
If the agreement contains lease and non-lease components, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to the individual lease components on a relative stand-alone price basis. However, when leasing land and buildings, the Company chose not to distinguish between non-lease components and treated the lease components and non-lease components as a single lease component.
The Company has elected not to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for shortterm leases that have a lease term of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets. The Company recognizes the lease payments associated with these leases as an expense on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
(j) Intangible assets
- (i) Recognition and measurement
Other intangible assets, that are acquired by the Company and have finite useful lives are measured at cost less accumulated amortization and any accumulated impairment losses.
(ii) Subsequent expenditure
Subsequent expenditure is capitalized only when it increases the future economic benefits embodied in the specific asset to which it relates. All other expenditure, including expenditure on internally generated goodwill and brands, is recognized in profit or loss as incurred.
(iii) Amortization
Amortization is calculated over the cost of the asset, less its residual value, and is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful lives of intangible assets, other than goodwill, from the date that they are available for use.
The estimated useful lives for current and comparative periods are as follows:
- 1) Computer software cost: 2~5 years
Amortization methods, useful lives and residual values are reviewed at and adjusted if appropriate.
(k) Impairment of non-financial assets
At each reporting date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its non-financial assets (other than contract assests and deferred tax assets) to determine whether there is any indication of impairment. If any such indication exists, then the asset’s recoverable amount is estimated.
(Continued)
19
GROUNDHOG INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
For impairment testing, assets are grouped together into the smallest group of assets that generates cash inflows from continuing use that are largely independent of the cash inflows of other assets or cash-generating units (CGUs). Goodwill arising from a business combination is allocated to CGUs or groups of CGUs that are expected to benefit from the synergies of the combination.
The recoverable amount of an asset or CGU is the greater of its value in use and its fair value less costs to sell. Value in use is based on the estimated future cash flows, discounted to their present value using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the asset or CGU.
An impairment loss is recognized if the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount. Impairment losses are recognized in profit or loss. They are allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the CGU, and then to reduce the carrying amounts of the other assets in the CGU on a pro rata basis.
For other assets excluding the goodwill, an impairment loss is reversed only to the extent that the asset’s carrying amount does not exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation or amortization, if no impairment loss had been recognized.
-
(l) Revenue recognition
-
(i) Revenue from contracts with customers
Revenue is measured based on the consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for transferring goods or services to a customer. The Company recognizes revenue when it satisfies a performance obligation by transferring control of a good or a service to a customer.
The Company engages in implementation of system project services and extended warranty services, wherein revenue recognition is based on the proportion of the actual services provided, which depends on the input of labor, to the total services as of the reporting date. Contracts between the Company and its customers may include fixed and variable considerations. Considering that the progress of system implementation is highly affected by factors beyond the control of the combined company, variable consideration is only within a range that is highly unlikely to significantly reverse. The Company reclassifies its contact assets, which do not have the right to receive payment upon service rendered by the Company, to accounts receivable when it has an unconditional right to the consideration.
- (ii) Financing components
The Company does not expect to have any contracts where the period between the transfer of the promised goods or services to the customer and payment by the customer exceeds one year. As a consequence, the Company does not adjust any of the transaction prices for the time value of money.
(Continued)
20
GROUNDHOG INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
(m) Government grants
When the Company receives government grants, it recognizes the relevant amounts as deferred income and recognizes the grants as non-operating income when it is reasonably certain that the Company has complied with the conditions attached to the government grants.
For other asset-related grants, the Company recognizes deferred income at fair value when it is reasonably confident that the conditions attached to the government grant will be complied with and that the grant will be received, and recognizes the deferred income as non-operating income on a systematic basis over the useful life of the asset.
(n) Employee benefits
(i) Defined contribution plans
Obligations for contributions to defined contribution plans are expensed as the related service is provided.
(ii) Defined benefit plans
The Company’ s net obligation, in respect of the defined benefit plan is calculated by estimating the amount of future benefit that employees have earned in the current and prior periods, discounting that amount, and deducting the fair value of the plan assets.
The calculation of defined benefit obligations is performed annually by a qualified actuary using the projected unit credit method. When the calculation results in a potential asset for the Company, the recognized asset is limited to the present value of economic benefits available in the form of any future refunds from the plan or reductions in future contributions to the plan. To calculate the present value of economic benefits, consideration is given to any applicable minimum funding requirements.
Remeasurements of the net defined benefit liability, which comprise actuarial gains and losses, the return on plan assets (excluding interest), and the effect of the asset ceiling (if any, excluding interest), are recognized immediately in other comprehensive income, and accumulated in retained earnings within equity. The Company determines the net interest expense (income) on the net defined benefit liability (asset) for the period by applying the discount rate used to measure the defined benefit obligation at the beginning of the annual period to the then-net defined benefit liability (asset). Net interest expense and other expenses related to defined benefit plans are recognized in profit or loss.
When the benefits of a plan are changed or when a plan is curtailed, the resulting change in benefit that relates to past service or the gain or loss on curtailment is recognized immediately in profit or loss. The Company recognizes gains and losses on the settlement of a defined benefit plan when the settlement occurs.
(iii) Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are expensed as the related service is provided. A liability is recognized for the amount expected to be paid if the Company has a present legal or constructive obligation to pay this amount as a result of past service provided by the employee and the obligation can be estimated reliably.
(Continued)
21
GROUNDHOG INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
(o) Share-based payment
The grant-date fair value of equity-settled share-based payment arrangements granted to employees is generally recognized as employee expenses, with a corresponding increase in equity, over the vesting period that the employees become unconditionally entitled to the awards. The amount recognized as an expense is adjusted to reflect the number of awards for which the related service and non-market performance conditions are expected to be met, such that the amount ultimately recognized is based on the number of awards that meet the related service and non-market performance conditions at the vesting date.
For share-based payment awards with non-vesting conditions, the grant-date fair value of the sharebased payment is measured to reflect such conditions and there is no true-up for differences between expected and actual outcomes.
(p) Income taxes
Income taxes comprise current taxes and deferred taxes. Except for expenses related to business combinations or recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income, all current and deferred taxes shall be recognized in profit or loss.
Current taxes comprise the expected tax payables or receivables on the taxable profits (losses) for the year and any adjustment to the tax payable or receivable in respect of previous years. The amount of current tax payables or receivables are the best estimate of the tax amount expected to be paid or received that reflects uncertainty related to income taxes, if any. It is measured using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date.
Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities f at the reporting date and their respective tax bases. Deferred taxes are recognized except for the following:
-
(i) Temporary differences on the initial recognition of assets and liabilities in a transaction that is not a business combination and at the time of the transaction (i) affects neither accounting nor taxable profits (losses) and (ii) does not give rise to equal taxable and deductible temporary differences;
-
(ii) Temporary differences related to investments in subsidiaries, associates and joint arrangements to the extent that the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences and it is probable that they will not reverse in the foreseeable future; and
-
(iii) Taxable temporary differences arising on the initial recognition of goodwill.
Deferred tax assets are recognized for the carry forward of unused tax losses, unused tax credits, and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profits will be available against which they can be utilized. Deferred tax assets are reviewed at each reporting date and are reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that the related tax benefits will be realized.
Deferred taxes are measured at tax rates that are expected to be applied to temporary differences when they reserve, using tax rates enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date, and reflect uncertainty related to income taxes, if any.
(Continued)
22
GROUNDHOG INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are offset if the following criteria are met:
-
(i) The Company has a legally enforceable right to set off current tax assets against current tax liabilities; and
-
(ii) The deferred tax assets and the deferred tax liabilities relate to income taxes levied by the same taxation authority on either:
-
1) The same taxable entity; or
-
2) Different taxable entities which intend to settle current tax assets and liabilities on a net basis, or to realize the assets and liabilities simultaneously, in each future period in which significant amounts of deferred tax liabilities or assets are expected to be settled or recovered.
-
-
(q) Earnings per share
The Company discloses the Company’s basic and diluted earnings per share attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company. Basic earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding. Diluted earnings per share is calculated as the profit attributable to ordinary shareholders of the Company divided by the weighted average number of ordinary shares outstanding after adjustment for the effects of all potentially dilutive ordinary shares. Dilutive potential ordinary shares comprise employee remuneration.
- (r) Operating segments
Please refer to Company’s financial statements for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, for further details.
(5) Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:
In preparing these financial statements, management has made judgments and estimates about the future, including climate-related risks and opportunities, that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.
Estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis and are consistent with the Company’s risk management and climate-related commitments where appropriate. Revisions to estimates are recognized prospectively in the period of the change and future periods.
There are no critical judgments in applying accounting policies that have significant effect on the amounts recognized in the financial statements.
(Continued)
23
GROUNDHOG INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
Information about judgments made in applying accounting policies that have the most significant effects on the amounts recognized in the financial statements is as follows:
(a) Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes contract revenue based on the degree of completion of service provision, which is measured based on the proportion of total labor invested in each project incurred to date to the estimated total investment. The Company estimates the total contract investment by considering factors such as the service content and work schedule planning of each project. During the project implementation process, it continuously reviews the actual occurrence of various costs and expenses attributed to the project, and revise the total contract cost accordingly. The above estimate changes may result in significant adjustments to the total contract investment, thereby affecting the measurement results of the degree of completion.
The Company’ s accounting policies include measuring financial and non-financial assets and liabilities at fair value through profit or loss.
The Company’s financial instrument valuation group conducts independent verification on fair value by using data sources that are independent, reliable, and representative of exercise prices. This financial instrument valuation group also periodically adjusts valuation models, conducts back testing, renews input data for valuation models, and makes all other necessary fair value adjustments to assure the rationality of fair value. The Company strives to use market observable inputs when measuring assets and liabilities.
Different levels of the fair value hierarchy to be used in determining the fair value of financial instruments are as follows:
-
(a) Level 1: quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identifiable assets or liabilities.
-
(b) 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).
-
(c) Level 3: inputs for the assets or liability that are not based on observable market data.
Please refer to note 6(p) for assumptions used in measuring fair value.

Thereafter, a minimum of 5% of the profit before tax (in form of stock or cash) shall be appropriated as employee remuneration; recipients may include employees of the Company's subsidiaries who meet certain requirements. Moreover, a maximum of 1% of the remaining profit shall be appropriated as directors' remuneration. The distribution shall first be resolved by the Board then reported at the shareholders’ meeting.

(p) Financial instruments

(i) Credit risk
Credit risk is the risk of financial losses to the Company if a customer or counterparty to a financial instrument fails to meet its contractual obligations. Other information about credit risk was as follows:
- 1) Maximum credit risk exposure
As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk was mainly from the carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the statements of financial position and amounted to $661,852 thousand and $907,281 thousand, respectively.
- 2) The Company’ s credit risk is mainly affected by the credit characteristics of each creditor. This is also an impact on credit risk from the business of the customer. As of December 31, 2025 and 2024, 81% and 90%, respectively, of the ending balance of accounts receivable and contract assets arose from sales to individual customers constituting the top ten customers.
(ii) Liquidity risk
Liquidity risk is a risk that the Company is unable to meet the obligations associated with its financial liabilities that are settled by delivering cash or another financial asset. The Company’ s approach to managing liquidity is to ensure, as much as possible, that it always has sufficient liquidity to meet its liabilities when due, under both normal and stressed conditions, without incurring unacceptable losses or risking damage to the Company’s reputation.
The following are the contractual maturities of financial liabilities:
-
1) Based on the date on which the Company may be required to make an early repayment and on the preparation of the financial liabilities’ undiscounted cash flows, including interest but excluding the impact of netting agreements.
-
2) Other non-derivative financial liabilities’ maturity analysis prepared in accordance with the agreed repayment date.

GROUNDHOG INC. Notes to the Financial Statements
The Company’ s exposure to foreign currency risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, contract assets, accounts payable and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. A weakening (strengthening) of 1% of the NTD against the foreign currency as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, would have increased or decreased the net profit before tax by $654 thousand and $1,812 thousand, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.
As the Company deals in diverse foreign currencies, gains or losses on foreign exchange were summarized as a single amount. In 2025 and 2024, the foreign exchange gain (loss), including both realized and unrealized was as follows:

December 31, 2025 $ 41,520 $ 571,515 |
December 31, 2024 |
|---|---|---|
| 48,079 | ||
| 800,756 |
The sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to the interest rate risk of nonderivative financial instruments on the reporting date. If the interest rate had increased / decreased by 1 basis points, the Company’s net income would have decreased / increased by $1,429 thousand and $2,002 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024, with all other variable factors remaining constant. This is mainly due to the Company’ s borrowing at variable rates and bank deposits in variable-rate bills.
The Company’ s financial liabilities at fixed interest rates are measured using the amortized cost method. Since the change in market interest rate at the end of each reporting period had no impact on profit and loss, disclosure of the sensitivity to changes in fair value is not necessary.
