Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors and the Shareholders of Hung Ching Development & Construction Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of the Hung Ching Development & Construction Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2025 and 2024, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only 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 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 Company's parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only 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 for the Company's parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 are stated as follows:
Sales revenue of building and land
For the year ended 2025, Hung Ching Development & Construction Co., Ltd. recognized revenue from the sale of real estate amounting to NT$314,786 thousand, representing 57% of its total operating revenue for the year. This item is material to the parent company only financial statements and constitutes one of the Company’s primary sources of revenue. Accordingly, we have identified revenue from the sale of real estate as a key audit matter. Please refer to Notes 4 and 18 to the parent company only financial statements.
The main audit procedures performed on the specific levels in respect of the above-mentioned key audit matter for the audit of the year are as follows:
- We understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls related to the sales cycle.
- Obtaining the details of building and land for sales for the whole year:
(1) sampling and verifying the contracts signed by the buyers and sellers to confirm the contract price and transaction target;
(2) sampling and verifying the registration date of the transfer of property ownership to verify that the property ownership has been transferred to the purchaser.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only 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 members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered to be material if they individually or collectively could reasonably be expected to affect the economic decisions of users of these 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:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only 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.
-
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 parent 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 parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our opinion to the Company.
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 about 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2025 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.

Note 2: The Financial Supervisory Commission announced on September 25, 2025 that enterprises in Taiwan shall apply IFRS 18 effective January 1, 2028. Early adoption is permitted upon endorsement of IFRS 18 by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
IFRS 18 "Presentation and Disclosure in Financial Statements" and related consequential amendments
IFRS 18 will supersede IAS 1 "Presentation of Financial Statements." The key changes introduced by this standard include:
- The Company shall assess whether it engages in investing in specified types of assets and providing financing to customers as distinct main business activities, and accordingly classify items of income and expenses in the statement of profit or loss into operating, investing, financing, income tax, and discontinued operations categories.
- The statement of profit or loss must present operating profit or loss, profit or loss before financing and income tax, as well as clearly labeled subtotals and totals of profit or loss.
-
Enhanced aggregation and disaggregation guidance: the Company must identify assets, liabilities, equity, income, expenses, and cash flows resulting from individual transactions or other events and classify and aggregate them based on shared characteristics. Each line item in the primary financial statements should exhibit at least one similar characteristic. Items with dissimilar characteristics
-
14 -
should be disaggregated in both the primary financial statements and the notes. The Company can label items as "other" only when no more informative label is available.
- Disclosure of management-defined performance measures: when the Company communicates publicly outside the financial statements and conveys management’s view of an aspect of the consolidated entity’s overall financial performance to users of the financial statements, it shall disclose, in a single note to the financial statements, information related to management-defined performance measures. Such disclosures shall include a description of the measure, how it is calculated, a reconciliation to subtotals or totals specified by IFRS Accounting Standards, and the income tax and non-controlling interest effects of the related reconciling items.
In addition, the following consequential amendments have been made to IAS 7 "Statement of Cash Flows":
- When the Company prepares cash flows from operating activities using the indirect method, operating profit shall be used as the starting point for reconciliation.
- Interest and dividends received by the Company shall be classified as investing activities, while interest and dividends paid shall be classified as financing activities. Where the Company determines that it has specified main business activities, it shall consider the classification of dividend income, interest income, and interest expense presented in the statement of profit or loss in determining the classification of cash flows from dividends received, interest received, and interest paid in the statement of cash flows. However, each of the aforementioned cash flows shall be classified in only one category within the statement of cash flows.
Apart from the aforementioned impacts, as of the date the accompanying parent company only financial statements were authorized for issue, the Company continues in evaluating the impact on its financial position and financial performance as a result of the aforementioned standards or interpretations. The related impact will be disclosed when the evaluation has been completed.
4. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
a. Statement of compliance
The accompanying parent company only financial statements have been prepared in conformity with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.
b. Basis of preparation
The accompanying parent company only financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value.
The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the related inputs are observable and based on the significance of the related inputs, are described as follows:
1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities on the measurement date;
2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and
3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, the Company's investments in subsidiaries and associates are accounted for using the equity method. In order to agree with the amount of net income, other comprehensive income and equity attributable to shareholders of the consolidated financial statements of this year, the differences of the accounting treatment between the parent company only basis and the consolidated basis are adjusted under the heading of "investments accounted for using equity method", "share of profits of subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures, share of other comprehensive income of subsidiaries, associates, and joint ventures" in the parent company only financial statements, and other related equity items.
c. Standards for Classification of Current and Noncurrent Assets and Liabilities
Current assets include:
1) Assets held for trading purposes;
2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and
3) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding those that are restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.
Current liabilities include:
1) Obligations incurred for trading purposes;
2) Obligations expected to be settled within 12 months from the balance sheet date (liabilities with long-term refinancing or rearrangement of payment terms completed after the balance sheet date and before the publication of the financial statements are also deemed as current liabilities); and
- 16 -
3) Liabilities for which the Company does not have a substantive right to defer settlement beyond 12 months after the balance sheet date.
Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.
The Company is engaged in the construction business, which has an operating cycle of over 1 year. The normal operating cycle applies when considering the classification of current or non-current for the construction-related assets and liabilities.
d. Foreign Currency
In preparing the financial statements of each individual entity, transactions in currencies other than the entity's functional currency (i.e., foreign currencies) are recognized at the rates of exchange prevailing at the dates of the transactions.
Monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are translated at the rates prevailing on each date of balance sheets. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rate at the date of the transaction (i.e., not retranslated).
For the purpose of presenting the parent company only financial statements, the assets and liabilities of the Company's foreign operations (including subsidiaries that operate in countries or use currencies different from that of the Company) are translated into the New Taiwan dollar using the exchange rate of each balance sheet date. Income and expense items are translated using the average exchange rates of the current period, with exchange differences arising therefrom recognized in other comprehensive income.
e. Inventories
Inventories comprise real estate under development, real estate held for development, and building and land held for sale. Inventory is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Comparing costs with net realizable value is based on individual item. Net realizable value represents the estimated selling price of inventories less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated cost necessary to make the sale. The actual costs incurred in the construction of the real estate inventory are transferred to current operating costs in proportion of floor space to the recognition of revenue from sales of real estate.
f. Investments Accounted for Using Equity Method
The Company uses equity method for investment in subsidiaries and associates.
1) Investment in subsidiaries
Subsidiaries are entities controlled by the Company.
- 17 -
Under the equity method, the investment is initially treated at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Company's interest in profit and loss, shares in other comprehensive income and profit distribution by the subsidiaries. In addition, changes in other equity of the subsidiaries are recognized based on the shareholding percentage.
The excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries constituting the business as of the date of acquisition is recorded as goodwill, which is included in the carrying amount of the investment and is not subject to amortization; the excess of the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities of the subsidiaries constituting the business as of the date of acquisition over the cost of acquisition is recorded as current income.
The unrealized profit or loss in downstream transactions between the Company and the subsidiary shall be eliminated in the parent company only financial statements. Profit or loss generated in upstream transactions between the Company and the subsidiaries or transactions between the subsidiaries shall only be recognized in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements when it is not related to the Company's interest in the subsidiaries.
2) Investments in associates
Associates are entities over which the Company has major influence but they are neither a subsidiary nor joint ventures.
The Company uses equity method for investment in associates.
Under the equity method, the investment is initially treated at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Company's interest in profit and loss, shares in other total income and profit distribution by the associates. In addition, changes in the interests in associates are recognized based on the shareholding percentage.
Any excess of acquisition cost over the Company's share of an associate's or a joint venture's identifiable assets and liabilities measured at the fair value on the date of acquisition is recognized as goodwill. The goodwill shall be included in the carrying amount of the investment but not allowed for amortization. If the Company's share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities exceeds acquisition cost, the excessive amount is recognized immediately in profit or loss.
- 18 -
When the Company's share of loss derived from the investment of an affiliate equals or exceeds the Company's interest (including the carrying amount of the investment and other long-term substantial interests in the associate's net asset in proportion to ownership percentage), the Company shall cease recognizing losses further. The Company shall only recognize additional losses and liabilities within the scope of occurred legal obligations, constructive obligations, or payments made on behalf of the associates.
To assess impairment, the Company has to consider the overall carrying amount (including goodwill) of the investment as a single asset to compare the recoverable and carrying amounts. The cost of impairment identified is to be deemed as part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of the impairment loss is recognized only to the extent of the subsequent increases in the recoverable amount of investment.
Profit or loss in up- and downstream transactions between the Company and the associates or transactions between associates shall only be recognized in the Parent Company Only Financial Statements when it is not related to the Company's interest in the associates.
g. Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant and equipment are recognized at cost, and then measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment.
Freehold land is not depreciated.
The depreciation of property, plant and equipment is separately recognized using the straight-line method over their useful lives to each significant part. The Company reviews the estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation method at least at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.
Upon disposal of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
h. Investment Properties
Investment property is a property held to earn rental and/or for capital appreciation. Investment property also includes land held for future use that is currently undetermined. Investment property is initially measured at cost, including transaction costs. Subsequent to initial recognition, investment property is measured at cost less accumulated
- 19 -
depreciation and accumulated impairment loss. Depreciation of investment properties is recognized using the straight-line method.
Upon disposal of investment properties, the difference between the net sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.
i. Contract cost-related assets
Sales service fees paid for sales of real estate under exclusive sales contract of property held for sale are only incurred at the time of obtaining a client's contract, and are recognized as an additional cost of obtaining the contract to the extent the amounts are recoverable, and are written off when the legal ownership of the real estate is passed to the client.
j. Impairment of tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) and related assets of contract costs
On each balance sheet date, the Company reviews the carrying amounts of its tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill) to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Company estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs. If corporate assets can be allocated to cash-generating units with a reasonable and consistent basis, then they are allocated to their individual cash-generating units. Otherwise, they are allocated to the smallest group of cash generating units for which a reasonable and consistent allocation basis can be identified. For intangible assets with indefinite life and that are not yet available for use, they are subject to annual impairment test at the time there are indications of impairment.
The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an individual asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or the cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.
An impairment loss on inventory, property, plant and equipment, and intangible asset related to the contracts with customers shall be recognized in accordance with the applicable standards of inventory impairment and the above-mentioned principles. Then, the impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the assets related to contract costs exceeds the remaining amount of consideration that the
- 20 -
Company expects to receive in exchange for related goods or services less the direct costs related to providing those goods or services. The assets related to the contract costs are then included in the carrying amount of the cash-generating unit to which they belong for the purpose of evaluating impairment of that cash-generating unit.
When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset, cash-generating unit or assets related to contract costs is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount, less any amount of amortization or depreciation, that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.
k. Financial Instruments
Financial assets and liabilities shall be recognized in the parent company only balance sheet when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.
While financial assets and liabilities are initially recognized, transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets and financial liabilities are added to or deducted from the fair value of those financial assets and financial liabilities that are not measured at fair value through profit or loss. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition or issue of financial assets or financial liabilities measured at fair value through profit or loss are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
1) Financial assets
Regular way transactions of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a settlement date basis.
(a) Category of measurement
Financial assets held by the Company are classified into the following categories: financial assets at amortized cost and investments in equity instruments at fair value through other comprehensive income (FVTOCI).
i. Financial asset measured at amortized cost
The Company's investments in financial assets that meet the following two conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:
i) Within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and
- 21 -
ii) The contractual terms give rise to cash flows on specified dates that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.
Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets measured at amortized cost, including cash, notes receivable, trade receivables, and other receivable, are measured at amortized cost of total carrying amount determined by the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Any foreign exchange gain/loss is recognized in profit or loss.
Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset, except for:
i) Purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets; and
ii) Financial assets that are not credit-impaired on purchase or origination but have subsequently become credit-impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.
Credit-impaired financial assets are those where the issuer or debtor has experienced major financial difficulties, defaults, the debtor is likely to file for bankruptcy or other financial restructuring, or disappearance of an active market for the financial assets due to financial difficulties.
Cash equivalents comprise time deposits that will mature within 3 months after the acquisition date, that are highly liquid and readily convertible to known amount of cash, and that are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Cash equivalents are used to satisfy short-term cash commitments.
ii. Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI
On initial recognition, the Company may make an irrevocable election to designate investments in equity instruments as at FVTOCI. Designation as at FVTOCI is not permitted if the equity investment is held for trading or if it is contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination.
- 22 -
Investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are measured at fair value and subsequently measured at fair value with gain or loss arising from changes in fair value recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in other equity. The cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss on disposal of the equity investments; instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.
Dividends on these investments in equity instruments at FVTOCI are recognized in profit or loss when the Company's right to receive the dividends is established, unless the dividends clearly represent a recovery of part of the cost of the investment.
(b) Impairment of financial assets
On each date of balance sheets, the Company evaluates a loss allowance for financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables) based on expected credit loss.
The loss allowances for notes receivable and trade receivables are recognized at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. Other financial assets are first evaluated whether or not the credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition. If it has not increased significantly, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to expected credit loss within 12 months. If it has increased significantly, a loss allowance is recognized at an amount equal to expected credit loss over the expected life.
Expected credit losses are the weighted average credit losses resulting from a risk of default events as the weight. Expected credit losses within 12 months represent the expected credit losses resulting from possible default events of a financial instrument within 12 months after the reporting date. Expected credit loss over the expected life represent the expected credit losses resulting from all possible default events of a financial instrument over the expected life.
For the purpose of internal credit risk management, the Company, without considering the collateral it holds, determines that the following circumstances represent a default in financial assets:
i. There are internal or external information showing that the borrower is no longer able to pay off the debt.
- 23 -
ii. Where the debt is overdue more than 365 days, unless there is reasonable and authenticated information showing that the delayed default basis is more appropriate.
An impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized with a corresponding adjustment to their carrying amount through a loss allowance account.
(c) Derecognition of financial assets
The Company derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the financial asset expire, or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to another entity.
On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the sum of the consideration received and receivable is recognized in profit or loss. On derecognition of equity instruments measured at FVTOCI in its entirety, the cumulative gain or loss will not be reclassified to profit or loss; instead, it will be transferred to retained earnings.
2) Equity instruments
Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified separately as financial liabilities or equity in accordance with the substance of contractual arrangements and the definitions of a financial liability and an equity instrument.
The equity instrument issued by the Company shall be recognized by the payment for acquisition net of the direct cost of issuance.
The repurchase of equity instruments issued by the Company is recognized in equity as a deduction. The purchase, sale, issuance, or write-off of the Company's own equity instruments is not recognized in profit or loss.
3) Financial liabilities
(a) Subsequent measurement
All financial liabilities are subsequently measured either at amortized cost using effective interest method, except below situations.
(b) Derecognition of financial liabilities
The difference between the carrying amount of the financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid and payable, including liabilities of any transferred non-cash asset or afforded liabilities, is recognized in profit or loss.
- 24 -
- 25 -
l. Revenue recognition
The Company identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.
The Company is principally engaged in appointments and management of contractors for the construction and sales of real estate, and the revenue is recognized when the legal ownership of the real estate is passed to the client. For the signed contract of residence sale, subject to the commercial practice, the real estate has no other use for the Company. As the legal ownership of the real estate is passed to the client, the Company has an enforceable right to the contractual amount and therefore revenue is recognized when the legal ownership of the real estate is passed to the client.
m. Lease
At the inception of a contract, the Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.
1) The Company as lessor
Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.
When the Company subleases the right-of-use asset, the classification of the sublease is determined by the right-of-use asset (instead of the underlying asset). However, if the main lease is a short-term lease where the recognition exemption is applicable to the Company, the sublease is classified as an operating lease.
After lease-related incentives are deducted, the rental income from operating lease is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. The initial direct costs arising from acquisition of operating leases is added to the carrying amount of the underlying assets; and an expense is recognized for the lease on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Company assesses the classification of each element separately as a financial or an operating lease based on the assessment as to whether substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to the lessee. The lease payments are allocated between the land and the building elements in proportion to the relative fair values of the leasehold interests in the land element and building element of the lease at the inception of a contract. If the allocation of the lease
payments can be made reliably, each element is accounted for separately in accordance with its lease classification. If the lease payments cannot be allocated reliably between the land and building elements, the entire lease is generally classified as a finance lease unless it is clear that both elements are operating leases; in which case, the entire lease is classified as an operating lease.
2) The Company as lessee
The Company recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.
Right-of-use assets are measured initially at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities, the lease payments paid before the lease start date less the lease incentives received, the initial direct cost, and the estimated cost of restoring underlying assets. Subsequent measurement is calculated as cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss and adjusted for changes in lease liabilities as a result of remeasurement. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the parent company only balance sheets.
Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.
Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments and payments of penalties for terminating the lease reflected during the lease term less lease incentives received. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses the lessee's incremental borrowing rate.
Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. When there is a change in future lease payments resulting from a change in a lease term, the Company remeasures the lease liabilities with a corresponding adjustment to the right-of-use assets. However, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets is reduced to zero, any remaining amount of the remeasurement is recognized in profit or loss. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line item in the parent company only balance sheets.
- 26 -
n. Borrowing costs
Borrowing costs directly attributable to an acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.
Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.
Other than that which is stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.
o. Employee benefits
1) Short-term employee benefits expense
Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for service rendered by employees.
2) Post-Retirement Benefits
Payments of defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as an expense when the employees have rendered service entitling them to the contribution.
p. Income tax
Income tax expense is the sum of current income tax and deferred income tax.
1) Current tax
According to the Income Tax Law of the ROC, an additional income tax on unappropriated earnings was surcharged in the year approved by the shareholders' meeting.
Adjustments of prior years' tax liabilities are added to or deducted from the current year's tax provision.
2) Deferred income tax
Deferred income tax is calculated on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of the recorded assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.
Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences while deferred tax assets are recognized as it is very likely that taxable profits will be available against tax credits which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.
- 27 -
Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, except where the Company is able to control the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference and it is very likely that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investment and equity are only recognized to the extent that it is very likely that there will be sufficient taxable profit against which to utilize the benefit of the temporary differences that are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.
The carrying amount of deferred tax asset is reviewed on each date of balance sheets and it is reduced to the extent that it is no longer very likely that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered. The deferred tax assets not originally recognized are also reviewed on each date of balance sheets, and their carrying amount is recognized to the extent that it is very likely that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the deferred tax asset to be recovered.
Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year in which the liability is settled or the asset is realized, and this tax rates is based on the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted on the date of balance sheet. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Company expects to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities on the date of balance sheet.
3) Current and deferred income tax
Current and deferred income taxes are recognized in profit or loss, unless when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly recorded in equity, the current and deferred income tax are separately recognized in other comprehensive income or directly recorded in equity.

a. Notes and trade receivable
The Company mainly engaged in appointments of construction contractors to build public housing developments for leasing and selling. As a result, the trade receivables of the Company arose from the purchase of building and land sold by the Company's clients and the collection terms of the receivables are in accordance with the sales contracts. In the case of trade receivables arising from the lack of loan facilities from clients, the Company may, after assessing their credit status and repayment ability, collect the amounts by installment of bills receivable based on agreed terms.
In addition to trade receivables of real estate, the Company has trade receivables arising from rental with lease guarantee deposits received in advance. In assessing the recoverability of trade receivables, the Company considers any change in the credit quality of the trade receivables from the original credit date to the balance sheet date and estimates the irrecoverable amounts by reference to past default records and the current financial condition of the clients and industrial economic conditions. The lease guarantee deposits received by the Company at the balance sheet date are sufficient to cover potential default losses.
The Company applies the simplified approach of IFRS 9 and recognizes allowance for uncollectible accounts for trade receivables as lifetime expected credit losses for the duration of contract. The lifetime expected credit loss is determined the provision matrix which refers to past default records and the current financial condition of the clients and industrial economic conditions. Due to the historical experience of credit losses of the Company, there is no significant difference in the loss patterns of different client's groups. Therefore, the provision matrix does not further distinguish the customer base, and only sets the expected credit loss rate based on the overdue days of trade receivables.
The Company writes off trade receivables when there is information indicating that the debtor is experiencing in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. The Company continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, they are recognized in profit or loss.

(Continued from the previous page)
| Amount (numerator) after tax | Shares (denominator) (In Thousand Shares) | Earnings per share (NT$) after tax | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2024 | |||
| Basic EPS | |||
| Net income to calculate basic EPS | $ 1,272,344 | 261,758 | $ 4.86 |

| Net income to calculate diluted EPS | $ 1,272,344 | 263,089 | $ 4.84 |
If the Company offered to settle the employees' compensation in cash or shares, the Company presumes that the entire amount of the compensation would be settled in shares and the resulting potential shares were included in the weighted average number of shares outstanding used in the computation of diluted earnings per share, as the effect is dilutive. Such dilutive effect of the potential shares is included in the computation of diluted earnings per share until the shareholders resolve the number of shares to be distributed to employees as compensation at their meeting in the following year.
22. Management of Risks in Capital
The Company conducts management of risks in capital to ensure that each entity of the Company would continue as a going concern with the premise of optimizing the balances of debt and equity, and to maximize shareholders' equity. The overall strategy of the Company has no significant change.
The Company's capital structure consists of the Company's net debt (which is borrowings less cash and cash equivalents) and equity attributable to the owners of the Company (which are share capital, capital surplus, retained earnings, and other equity items).

c. Financial risk management objectives and policies
The Company's major financial instruments include investments in equity instruments, trade receivables, trade payables, short-term bills payable and borrowings. The Company's Finance division provides services to each unit of the business, coordinates access to domestic financial markets, and monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Company through internal risk reports that analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.
The Company manages and monitors these exposures to ensure appropriate measures are implemented on a timely and effective manner. Internal auditors review the compliance policies and risk exposure limits on an ongoing basis.
1) Market Risk
As the Company is rarely engaged in foreign currency transactions, exposure to exchange rate risk for fluctuations in market exchange rates is minimal. At this stage, the Company's dedicated unit reviews the assets and liabilities that are affected by exchange rates only on a regular basis.
Therefore, the Company's activities exposed it primarily to the financial risks of changes in interest rates and other price risk.
(a) Interest rate risk
Interest rate risk arises when the Company borrows funds at both fixed and floating rates. The Company manages interest rate risk by maintaining an appropriate mix of fixed and floating interest rates. The Company periodically evaluates interest rate fluctuations to ensure that the most cost-effective hedging strategy is utilized by adjusting the affected positions to be consistent with interest rate perspectives and the established risk appetite.
The carrying amounts of financial assets and financial liabilities of the Company with exposures to interest rate on the balance sheet dates are as follows:
- 50 -
| December 31, 2025 | December 31, 2024 | |
|---|---|---|
| Interest rate risk with fair value | ||
| — Financial liabilities | $ 5,266,471 | $ 4,491,085 |
| Interest rate risk with cash flow | ||
| — Financial assets | 860,514 | 2,492,098 |
| — Financial liabilities | 7,945,509 | 7,492,415 |
Sensitivity analysis
The Company used the interest rate risk of non-derivatives financial instruments at the balance sheet date as basis. Facing the risk of changes in floating interest rates of financial assets and in market interest rates of financial liabilities, the Company uses 1% increase or decrease in market interest rates as a reasonable risk assessment for reporting changes in interest rates to the management. If the market interest rate had been 1% higher and all other variables were held constant, the Company's income before tax for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would decrease by NT$70,850 thousand and NT$50,003 thousand, respectively.
(b) Other price risk
The Company was exposed to equity price risk through its investments on equity securities of listed and OTC companies. This equity investment is not held for trading but a strategic investment. The Company does not actively trade these investments. Equity price risk of the Company is mainly concentrated on equity instruments in semiconductor packaging industry of the Taiwan Stock Exchange. Besides, the Company has appointed a dedicated unit to regularly monitor the price risk and assess when it is necessary to increase the risk hedging position.
Sensitivity analysis
If equity prices had been 10% lower, no impact would incur on the Company's pre-tax income for the year ended December 31, 2025 and 2024. The Company's pre-tax other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2025 and 2024 would have decreased by NT$1,105,475 thousand and NT$714,918 thousand, respectively, due to changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.
2) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in a financial loss to the Company. As of the balance sheet date, the Company’s maximum exposure to credit risk due to failure to discharge an obligation by the counterparties arises from the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the parent company only balance sheet.
The policies adopted by the Company are to trade with reputed counterparties only. If necessary, sufficient collateral must be obtained to reduce the risk of financial losses. The trading counterparties of Company are financial institutions and organizations of company with good credit standing, so no significant credit risk is expected to incur.
To reduce credit risk, the management of the Company has delegated a dedicated team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is properly taken to recover overdue debts. Moreover, the Company reviews the recoverable amount of each individual trade receivables on the balance sheet date to ensure that adequate allowance is made for possible irrecoverable amounts. In this regard, the management believes that the Company’s credit risk has been significantly reduced. Trade receivables from customers are diversified because the Company has transactions with different customers and does not have any concentration of credit risk. The Company evaluates the financial position of its trade receivables customers on an ongoing basis.
3) Liquidity risk
The ultimate responsibility for liquidity risk management rests with the Board of Directors. The Company has put in place an appropriate liquidity risk management framework to address short, medium and long-term funding and liquidity management needs. The Company manages liquidity risk by maintaining adequate banking facilities and retaining the flexibility to raise funds in the capital markets, monitoring projected and actual cash flows on an ongoing basis and planning for the settlement of liabilities with financial assets of similar maturity.
(a) Table of liquidity risk
The following tables detail the analysis of the Company’s remaining contractual maturities for its non-derivative financial liabilities with agreed
- 52 -
repayment periods. The tables was drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows (including principal and estimated interest) of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Company may be required to pay.
