The Company's residential land development strategy will focus on urban renewal and joint construction projects, which will not only improve a city's appearance, but also reduce land purchasing risks and achieve stable development benefits.

  • (II) Factory, office, and industrial real estate market layout

  • Due to the expansion of global AI industry chain investment and the continued growth of the semiconductor industry, domestic and foreign companies have increased demand for production expansion in Taiwan, driving growth in demand for the commercial real estate and industrial real estate markets. The Company will cater to this trend by increasing investments in the development of industrial land in Taipei City and New Taipei City.

  • (III)Participate in government's prime area investment promotions and urban renewal projects

  • We continue to pay attention to the government-sponsored tender projects in prime areas and actively participate in public urban renewal. After winning the bid for the Kaohsiung Special Trade Zone 3 (North Side of South Base) Public Urban Renewal

-17-

Development Project, we were also selected as the best applicant for the "Zuoying HSR Technology Hub Public Urban Renewal Project" in May 2024.

  • (IV)Activate existing assets and strengthen strategic partnerships

Through forming strategic alliances with industry peers, we can submit urban renewal development plans for idle land in Minquan East Road, Jingmei District, etc. in 2025, effectively increasing land value and development efficiency.

As a whole, the Company has demonstrated steady growth in both the existing home and pre-sale markets. With our precise market layout and high-quality products, we have successfully enhanced Kuoyang's brand competitiveness and paved a solid foundation for future development.

Looking ahead, we will continue to pay attention to market trends, actively develop innovative products that meet market demand, strengthen brand value, and create long-term and stable investment returns for shareholders through sound operations.

2024 Financial Statements and Independent Auditor's Report

Independent Auditor's Report

(2025) Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi No. 24005338

To Kuoyang Development Co., Ltd.:

Audit Opinions

The Consolidated Balance Sheet of Kuoyang Development Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as Kuoyang Group) as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (including a summary of material accounting policies) from January 1 to December 31, 2024 and 2023 have been audited by the CPA.

In our opinion, based on the results of the CPA's audit and the audit reports of other CPAs (refer to Other Supplementary Matters), the aforementioned Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and explanations/interpretations approved and promulgated to be effective by FSC in all material respects and are therefore sufficient in presenting the consolidated financial conditions of the Kuoyang Group as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flow from January 1 to December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Basis of Audit Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Accounting (TWSA). Our responsibility based on these standards will be explained in greater detail in the section on our responsibilities for the review of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The personnel of the CPA firm who are governed by regulations on independence have acted according to the ROC CPA Code of Professional Ethics and remained independent of Kuoyang Group when fulfilling other obligations set forth in the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

The key audit matters pertain to the most important items of Kuoyang Group's 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements as per the professional judgment of the CPA. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters of the Consolidated Financial Statements of Kuoyang Group for 2024 are as follows:

Occurrence of income from the sales of houses and land

Description

-22-

Refer to Note 4 (29) in the Consolidated Financial Statements for accounting policies on operating revenue from construction. Refer to Note 6 (17) of the Consolidated Financial Report for description of accounting items.

The revenue from the sales of houses and land in the construction business is recognized when the ownership of the real estate is transferred and the property handover certificate is delivered to the customer. Whether revenue recognition meets the criteria for revenue recognition is a material factor to the overall Financial Statements of the current year. Therefore, the CPA hereby includes the occurrence of income from the sales of houses and land as the most important matter for this audit.

Corresponding auditing procedures

The CPA has compiled the following corresponding procedures that were executed for the specific levels described in the aforementioned key audit matters:

  • Understand and review the procedures for recognizing sales revenue from the sales of houses and land and verify whether the procedures have been consistently adopted in the period of the Financial Statements.

  • For the details of the property and land sales revenue recognized in the year, samples are selected and verified against the corresponding real estate ownership transfer and actual property handover to confirm the appropriateness of the property and land sales revenue recorded in the accounts.

Other matters - Reference to audits of other CPAs

We did not audit certain investments accounted for through the equity method in the financial statements of Kuoyang Group for 2024 and 2023. Those financial statements were audited by other CPAs. As such, our opinions in the aforementioned Consolidated Financial Statements on the amounts included in the aforementioned financial statements and related information disclosed in Note 13 were based on audit reports of other CPAs. The investment on equity method totaling NT$1,350,435 thousand and NT$1,234,734 thousand as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 accounted for 6.01% and 6.66% of the total assets, respectively. The comprehensive income recognized for 2024 and 2023 was NT$248,231 thousand and NT$348,379 thousand, which accounted for 114.68% and 58.97% of the total comprehensive income for the period, respectively.

Other matters - Individual Financial Statements

Kuoyang Development Co., Ltd. has prepared Individual Financial Statements for 2024 and 2023, for which we have issued an audit report containing an unqualified opinion plus other matters for reference.

Responsibilities of the management and the governing bodies for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The responsibility of the management was to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers", International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and explanations/interpretations approved and promulgated to be effective by FSC to properly indicate the company's financial status and to maintain necessary internal control with regard to establishment of consolidated financial statements to ensure

-23-

such financial statements did not contain any false contents as a result of fraudulence or mistakes.

When the Consolidated Financial Statements were in the process of preparation, the responsibility of the management also included assessment of the capacity of Kuoyang Group to continue operation, disclosure of related matters and the accounting approaches to be adopted when the company continued to operate unless the management intended to liquidate or suspend the business of Kuoyang Group if there was not any other option except liquidation or suspension of the company's business.

The governance units (including the Audit Committee) of Kuoyang Group are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditor's report. Reasonably reliable means highly reliable. However, auditing work carried out in accordance with the Standards on Auditing (TWSA) cannot guarantee detection of significant misrepresentations in the Consolidated Financial Statements. 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.

When conducting the auditing work according to the Standards on Accounting (TWSA), we exercised our professional judgment and professional skepticism. We also execute the following tasks:

  1. Identified and evaluated the risk of material misstatement due to fraud or error in the Consolidated Financial Statements; Designed and carried out appropriate countermeasures for the evaluated risks; Obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence as the basis for the audit opinion. As fraud may involve collusion, forgery, deliberate omissions, false statements, or violations of internal controls, the risks of material misstatements due to fraud are greater than those caused by errors.

  2. Acquired necessary understanding about internal control which matters to audit and provide appropriate audit procedure under such circumstances. However, the purpose of such understanding is not for providing any opinion on the effectiveness of internal control of Kuoyang Group.

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

  4. Concluded on the appropriateness of the 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 Kuoyang Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we consider that material uncertainty exists in these matters or conditions, we are required to remind the users of the Consolidated Financial Statements to pay attention to relevant disclosure in the statements in their audit report, or revise the audit opinions when such disclosure is inappropriate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the

-24-

date of the auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause Kuoyang Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  1. Evaluated the overall expression, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements (including related notes) and if these statements present fairly the related transactions and events.

  2. Obtained sufficient and appropriate proof for audit on the finances of the individual entities in Kuoyang Group to state our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the consolidated audit. We remain solely responsible for the audit opinions of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The CPAs' communications with the governance units include the planned scope and period of the audit and material finding in the audit (including significant defects identified in the internal control during auditing procedures).

We provided governance units with a statement assuring the personnel of our accounting firm who are subject to independent regulations had acted according to the ROC CPA Code of Professional Ethics to remain neutral and communicated with them about the all relations and other matters (including related preventive measures) that could affect the independence of the CPA.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, the CPA determines matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2024 Consolidated Financial Statements of Kuoyang Group for 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.

Independent Auditor's Report (2025) Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi No. 24005177

To Kuoyang Development Co., Ltd.:

Audit Opinions

The Individual Balance Sheet of Kuoyang Development Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2024 and 2023 and the Individual Statement of Comprehensive Income, Individual Statement of Changes in Equity, Individual Cash Flow Statement, and Notes to the Individual Financial Statements (including a summary of material accounting policies) from January 1 to December 31, 2024 and 2023 have been audited by the CPA.

In our opinion and based on our audits and reports of other CPAs, the Individual Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" in all material respects, and present fairly the individual financial position of Kuoyang Development as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, and its individual financial performance and its individual cash flow from January 1 to December 31, 2024 and 2023.

Basis of Audit Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Accounting (TWSA). Our responsibility based on these standards will be explained in greater detail in the section on our responsibilities for the review of the Individual Financial Statements. The personnel of the CPA firm who are governed by regulations on independence have acted according to the ROC CPA Code of Professional Ethics and remained independent of Kuoyang Development when fulfilling other obligations set forth in the Code. We believe that we have obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence as the basis for the audit opinion.

Key Audit Matters

The key audit matters pertain to the most important items of Kuoyang Development's 2024 Individual Financial Statements as per the professional judgment of the CPA. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Individual Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters of the Individual Financial Statements of Kuoyang Development for 2024 are as follows:

Occurrence of income from the sales of houses and land

Description

Refer to Note 4 (26) in the Individual Financial Statements for accounting policies on operating revenue from construction, and refer to Note 6 (16) for the explanation of accounting items.

The revenue from the sales of houses and land in the construction business is recognized when the ownership of the real estate is transferred and the property handover certificate is delivered to the customer. Whether revenue recognition meets the criteria for revenue recognition is a material factor to the overall Financial Statements of the current

~33~

year. Therefore, the CPA hereby includes the occurrence of income from the sales of houses and land as the most important matter for this audit.

Corresponding auditing procedures

The CPA has compiled the following corresponding procedures that were executed for the specific levels described in the aforementioned key audit matters:

  • Understand and review the procedures for recognizing sales revenue from the sales of houses and land and confirm whether the procedures have been consistently adopted in the period of the Financial Statements.

  • For the details of the property and land sales revenue recognized in the year, samples are selected and verified against the corresponding real estate ownership transfer and actual property handover to confirm the appropriateness of the property and land sales revenue recorded in the accounts.

Other matters - Reference to audits of other CPAs

We did not audit certain investments accounted for through the equity method in the financial statements of Kuoyang Development for 2024 and 2023. Those financial statements were audited by other CPAs. As such, our opinions in the aforementioned Individual Financial Statements on the amounts included in the aforementioned financial statements and related information disclosed in Note 13 were based on audit reports of other CPAs. The investment on equity method totaling NT$1,350,435 thousand and NT$1,234,734 thousand as of December 31, 2024 and 2023, each accounted for 6.73% and 7.26% of the total assets, respectively. The comprehensive income recognized for 2024 and 2023 was NT$248,231 thousand and NT$348,379 thousand, each accounting for 118.80% and 59.04% of the total comprehensive income for the period, respectively.

Responsibilities of the management and the governing bodies for the Individual Financial Statements

The responsibility of the management was to prepare the individual financial statements in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" to properly indicate the company's financial status and to maintain necessary internal control with regard to establishment of individual financial statements to ensure such financial statements did not contain any false contents as a result of fraudulence or mistakes.

When the Individual Financial Statements were in the process of preparation, the responsibility of the management also included assessment of the capacity of Kuoyang Development to continue operation, disclosure of related matters and the accounting approaches to be adopted when the company continued to operate unless the management intended to liquidate or suspend the business of Kuoyang Development if there was not any other option except liquidation or suspension of the company's business.

The governance units (including the Audit Committee) of Kuoyang Development are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Individual Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditor's report. Reasonably reliable means highly reliable. However, auditing work carried out in accordance with the Standards on Auditing

~34~

(TWSA) cannot guarantee detection of significant misrepresentations in the individual financial statements. 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.

When conducting the auditing work according to the Standards on Accounting (TWSA), we exercised our professional judgment and professional skepticism. We also execute the following tasks:

  1. Identified and evaluated the risk of material misstatement due to fraud or error in the Individual Financial Statements. Designed and carried out appropriate countermeasures for the evaluated risks; Obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence as the basis for the audit opinion. As fraud may involve collusion, forgery, deliberate omissions, false statements, or violations of internal controls, the risks of material misstatements due to fraud are greater than those caused by errors.

  2. Acquired necessary understanding about internal control which matters to audit and provide appropriate audit procedure under such circumstances. However, the purpose of such understanding is not for providing any opinion on the effectiveness of internal control of Kuoyang Development.

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

  4. Concluded on the appropriateness of the 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 Kuoyang Development's ability to continue as a going concern. If we consider that material uncertainty exists in these matters or conditions, we are required to remind the users of the Individual Financial Statements to pay attention to relevant disclosure in the statements in their audit report, or revise the audit opinions when such disclosure is inappropriate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause Kuoyang Development to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluated the overall expression, structure and content of the Individual Financial Statements (including related notes) and if these statements present fairly the related transactions and events.

  6. Obtained sufficient and appropriate proof for audit on the finances of the individual entities in Kuoyang Development to state our opinion on the Individual Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the individual audit. We remain solely responsible for the audit opinions of the Individual Financial Statements.

The CPAs' communications with the governance units include the planned scope and period of the audit and material finding in the audit (including significant defects identified in the internal control during auditing procedures).

We provided governance units with a statement assuring the personnel of our accounting firm who are subject to independent regulations had acted according to the ROC CPA Code of Professional Ethics to remain neutral and communicated with them about the all relations and other matters (including related preventive measures) that could affect the independence of the CPA.

~35~

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, the CPA determines matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2024 Individual Financial Statements of Kuoyang Development for 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.
