Independent Auditor's Report

To stakeholders of Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd.

Audit opinions

We have audited the accompanying parent-only balance sheet of Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd.as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the parent-only statement of comprehensive income, parent-only statement of changes in shareholders' equity, parent-only cash flow statement, and notes to parent-only financial statements (including summary of significant accounting policies) for the periods from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021.

In our opinion, all material disclosures of the parent-only financial statements mentioned above were prepared in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and presented a fair view of the parent-only financial position of Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd. as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and parent-only business performance and cash flow for the periods January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021.

Basis of audit opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing principles. Our responsibilities as an auditor for the parent-only financial statements under the abovementioned standards are explained in the Responsibilities paragraph. All relevant personnel of the accounting firm have followed CPA code of ethics and maintained independence from Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd. when performing their duties. We believe that the evidence obtained provide an adequate and appropriate basis for our opinion.

Key audit issues

Key audit issues are matters that we considered to be the most important, based on professional judgment, when auditing the 2022 parent-only financial statements of Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd. These issues have already been addressed when we audited and formed our opinions on the parent-only financial statements. Therefore we do not provide opinions separately for individual issues.

Key audit issues concerning the 2022 standalone financial statements of Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd. are as follows:

Impairment assessment of investment properties

As at December 31, 2022, Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd. had investment properties located at Xinzhuang District that were valued at NT$1,059,951 thousand, representing 19% of total assets and constituted a significant part of standalone financial statements. The management follows IAS 36 - “Impairment of Assets” and assesses investment properties for signs of impairment at the end of each reporting period. Assets that exhibit any sign of impairment will have recoverable amount estimated in order to determine the amount of impairment. However, considering that real estate prices are affected by several factors including government policy, economic cycle, and market supply/demand, and that impairment assessment requires subjective judgments, major estimates, and assumptions from the management, we have identified impairment assessment of investment properties as a key audit issue. Accounting policy on impairment assessment of investment properties, uncertainties associated with accounting estimates and assumptions, and related disclosures can be found in Notes 4, 5, and 14 of standalone financial statements.

The following audit procedures were taken in relation to the key audit issues identified above:

  1. Understanding and testing the design and implementation of key internal control system that is relevant to impairment assessment of investment properties.

  2. Obtaining the independent valuation report used by the management, and evaluating the professional capacity, competence, and objectivity of independent valuers.

  3. 3 -

  4. Determining the rationality of the valuation method, parameters, and assumptions used in the valuation of investment property and comparing transaction prices of properties in the vicinity.

  5. Consulting our own experts about the independent valuer's choice of valuation method as well as inputs and historical market data used in the calculation, and making appropriate comparisons to determine the rationality of the assessed price.

  6. Taking count and verifying records of investment properties, and checking title deeds for the lands owned.

Correctness of retail commission income

Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd. reported retail commission income of NT$113,700 thousand in 2022, representing 25% of operating revenues and was considered significant to the presentation of standalone financial statements. The department store operates by having merchants set up individual retail departments, and the Company earns a certain percentage or amount from each transaction made by merchants. Under this arrangement, the Company first collects payment from customers then deducts merchant's share of the proceeds and recognizes the remainder as sales revenue. Due to the vast number of merchants and the different commission rates involved, calculation of retail commission income depends heavily on the use of computer system, which we consider to be a key audit issue. Disclosures relating to retail commission income can be found in Note 20 of standalone financial statements.

  • The following audit procedures were taken in relation to the key audit issues identified above:

  • Understanding and randomly testing the effectiveness of internal control design and execution for retail commission income.

  • Making sample checks on current year's Merchant Settlement Master Report to determine whether the commission rates configured on the computer system are consistent with contract terms; and making separate calculations using the commission rate to verify the correctness of retail commission income.

Responsibilities of the management and governing body to the standalone financial statements

Responsibilities of the management were to prepare and ensure fair presentation of parent-only financial statements in accordance with "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" and to exercise proper internal control practices that are relevant to the preparation of parent-only financial statements so that the parent-only financial statements are free of material misstatements, whether caused by fraud or error.

The management's responsibilities when preparing parent-only financial statements also involved: assessing the ability of Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd. to operate, disclose information, and account for transactions as a going concern unless the management intends to liquidate Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd. or cease business operations, or is compelled to do so with no alternative solution.

The governing body of Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd. (including the Audit Committee) is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.

Responsibilities of the auditor when auditing parent-only financial statements

The purposes of our audit were to obtain reasonable assurance of whether the standalone financial statements were prone to material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue a report of our audit opinions. We considered assurance to be reasonable only if it is highly credible. However, audit tasks conducted in accordance with auditing principles do not necessarily guarantee detection of all material misstatements within the standalone financial statements. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. Misstatements are considered material if the individual amount or aggregate total is reasonably expected to affect economic decisions of the standalone financial statement user.

When conducting audits in accordance with auditing principles, we exercised professional judgments and raised professional doubts as deemed. We also performed the following tasks as an auditor:

  1. Identifying and assessing risks of material misstatement within the standalone financial statements, whether due to fraud or error; designing and executing appropriate response measures for the identified risks; and obtaining adequate and appropriate audit evidence to support audit opinions. Fraud may involve conspiracy, forgery, intentional omission, untruthful declaration, or breach of internal control, and our audit did not find any material misstatement where the risk of fraud is greater than the risk of error.

  2. Developing the required level of understanding on relevant internal controls and designing audit procedures that are appropriate under the prevailing circumstances, but without providing opinion on the effectiveness of internal control system of Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd.

  3. 4 -

  4. Assessing the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted by the management, and the rationality of accounting estimates and related disclosures made.

  5. Forming conclusions regarding the appropriateness of management's decision to account for the business as a going concern, and whether there are doubts or uncertainties about the ability of Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd. to operate as a going concern, based on the audit evidence obtained. We are bound to remind users of parent-only financial statements and make related disclosures if uncertainties exist in regards to the abovemenetioned events or circumstances, and amend audit opinions when the disclosures are no longer appropriate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of audit report. However, future events or change of circumstances may still render Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd. no longer capable of operating as a going concern.

  6. Assessing the overall presentation, structure, and contents of the standalone financial statements (including related footnotes), and whether certain transactions and events are presented appropriately in the standalone financial statements.

  7. Obtaining sufficient and appropriate audit evidence on financial information of equity-accounted investments held by Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd., and expressing opinions on parent-only financial statements. Our responsibilities as auditor are to instruct, supervise, and execute audits and form audit opinions on Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd.

We have communicated with the governing body about the scope, timing, and significant findings (including significant defects identified in the internal control) of our audit.

We have also provided the governing body with a declaration of independence stating that all relevant personnel of the accounting firm have complied with auditors' professional ethics, and communicated with the governing body on all matters that may affect the auditor's independence (including protection measures).

We have identified the key audit matters after communicating with the governing body regarding the 2022 standalone financial statements of Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd. These issues have been addressed in our audit report except for: 1. Certain topics that are prohibited by law from disclosing to the public; or 2. Under extreme circumstances, topics that we decided not to communicate in the audit report because of higher negative impacts they may cause than the benefits they bring to public interest.

Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd. Notes to parent-only Financial Statements From January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021

(In Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Stated Otherwise)

I. Organization and operations

Tonlin Department Store Co., Ltd. (the "Company") was founded in August 1982 and commenced business operations in November 1984. Taoyuan Branch was later established in September 1995 and commenced operation in November 1995. The Company primarily operates as a retail departmental store. The Company's shares have been listed for trading on Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation since December 1996. The Company closed down its Taipei Branch on September 20, 1999 out of concern for profit yield, and leased out buildings previously occupied by Taipei Branch for income on October 1. The Company currently has lease contracts established with multiple counterparties including World Fitness Asia Limited (H.K.) Taiwan Branch. Please refer to Note 20 for details. Furthermore, to facilitate the Company's transformation into an integrated entertainment complex, the board of directors passed a resolution to remodel Taoyuan Branch on October 24, 2016, and officially opened for business on October 3, 2018. In addition to retaining top revenue-generating merchants, Taoyuan Branch also brought in restaurant (beverages), sports, leisure, entertainment, and cinema brands to support its new transformation.

  • IV. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies (I) Statement of compliance

  • The parent-only financial statements have been prepared in accordance with

  • "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers."

  • (II) Basis of preparation

This parent-only financial statement has been prepared based on historical cost, except for financial instruments carried at fair value and net defined benefit liabilities calculated by deducting fair value of plan assets from present value of defined benefit obligation.

The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:

  1. Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

  2. Level 2 inputs are 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).

  3. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

The Company accounts for its subsidiaries and associated companies using the equity method when preparing the parent-only financial statements. To ensure consistency between the amount of profit and loss, other comprehensive income, and equity presented in the parent-only financial statements and the amount of profit and loss, other comprehensive income, and equity attributable to the Company's owners shown in the consolidated financial statements, adjustments were made to differences in accounting treatment between the parent-only basis and consolidated basis for "equity-accounted investments," "share of profit in equity-accounted subsidiaries and associated companies," "share of other comprehensive income in equity-accounted subsidiaries and associated companies," and related equity items.

  • (III) Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities Current assets include:

  • 13 -

  • Assets that are held mainly for the purpose of trading;

  • Assets that are expected to be realized within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and

  • Cash and cash equivalents (except for those that are intended to be swapped or settled against debt more than 12 months after the balance sheet date, and those with restricted uses).

  • Current liabilities include:

  • Liabilities that are held mainly for the purpose of trading;

  • Liabilities that are expected to be settled within 12 months after the balance sheet date; and

  • Liabilities where the repayment terms can not be extended unconditionally beyond 12 months after the balance sheet date.

Assets and liabilities that do not satisfy the above criteria are classified into non-current assets or non-current liabilities.

The Company's construction activities operate at business cycles that are longer than one year. For this reason, assets and liabilities that arise in relation to construction activities are distinguished between current and non-current portions based on normal business cycle.

  • (IV) Foreign currency

During preparation of parent-only financial statements, transactions denominated in currencies other than the functional currency (i.e. foreign currency transactions) are converted and recorded in the functional currency using exchange rate as at the transaction date.

Monetary foreign currency accounts are converted using closing exchange rates as at every balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising from settlement or translation of monetary accounts are recognized in profit and loss in the year occurred.

Foreign currency-denominated non-monetary items carried at fair value are converted using exchange rates as at the date of fair value assessment, with exchange differences recognized in current profit and loss. However, items that have fair value changes recognized in other comprehensive income shall also have exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income.

Foreign currency-denominated non-monetary items carried at historical cost are converted using exchange rate as at the date of initial transaction. No further re-calculation shall be made.

  • (V) Inventories

Proprietary inventory is valued at the lower of cost or net realizable value; the lower of cost or net realizable value is compared by retail departments, except for groups of items within the same category. Net realizable value refers to the balance of estimated selling price less any costs required to sell inventory under normal circumstances; cost is calculated using the retail inventory method.

Construction-in-progress is stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Down payments are paid for the purchase of construction land or properties pending sale, and borrowing interests accrued during the construction period are capitalized and recognized as cost of inventory.

Construction land is reclassified into construction-in-progress when construction activities begin. Upon completion, the amount of construction-in-progress is reclassified into operating cost and properties pending sale based on percentages of sold and unsold areas. In joint construction arrangements where the Company contributes land in exchange for units of properties pending sale, no gain/loss is recognized at the time of exchange, and income is recognized only when properties are sold to buyers.

  • (VI)

  • Subsidiary investments

The Company accounts for subsidiary investments using the equity method. A subsidiary is an entity in which the Company exercises control.

  • 14 -

Under the equity method, investments are recognized at cost at initiation; after the acquisition date, book value may be increased or decreased by the Company's share of profits/losses and other comprehensive income in associated companies. Furthermore, change in other equity items of subsidiaries are recognized proportionally at the Company's shareholding percentage.

Changes in ownership of subsidiary without losing control are treated as equity transactions. Difference between book value of investment and the fair value of consideration paid/received is directly recognized as equity. Impairments are assessed for individual cash-generating units and presented consistently throughout the financial statements by comparing recoverable amounts with book values. Should the recoverable amount increase in subsequent years, the amount previously impaired can be reversed and recognized as gains. However, the asset's book value after reversal can not exceed the amount of book value less amortization before the impairment took place.

Any unrealized gains/losses arising from downstream transactions between the Company and subsidiaries have been eliminated in the parent-only financial statements. Gains/losses arising from upstream transactions and transactions among subsidiaries are recognized in the parent-only financial statements only when the Company exercises no control over the subsidiary.

(VII) Investment in associated companies An associated company is an organization in which the Company has significant influence, but does not meet the criteria of a subsidiary.

The Company accounts for associated companies using the equity method. Under the equity method, associated companies are recognized at cost at initiation; after the acquisition date, book value may be increased or decreased by the Company's share of profits/losses and other comprehensive income in associated companies. Furthermore, changes in the equity of associated companies are recognized at the Company's shareholding percentage.

Any excess of the cost of acquisition over the Company’s share of the net fair value of the identifiable assets and liabilities is the premium of real estate properties; such premium is included in the book value of the concerned investment and not to be amortized.

When assessing impairments, the Company treats the entire account as a single asset and tests for impairment by comparing book value with recoverable amount. Any impairment losses recognized are presented as part of the book value of the investment without amortization. Reversal of impairment loss can be recognized up to the sum of subsequent increases in the recoverable amount of the investment.

(VIII) Property, Plant and Equipment Property, plant, and equipment are initially recognized at cost, and subsequently presented at cost after accumulated depreciation and impairment. Property, plant, and equipment in progress are carried at cost less cumulative impairments. Cost includes services expenses and borrowing costs that satisfy the capitalization criteria. These assets are classified into appropriate categories of property, plant, and equipment upon completion and reaching the expected usable state, at which time depreciation will also begin.

No depreciation is provided on land, whereas property, plant, and equipment are depreciated using the straight line method over their useful lives. Depreciation is provided separately for each major component. The Company reviews estimated useful life, residual value, and depreciation method at least once at the end of each year. Impacts of changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively.

In joint construction arrangements where the Company contributes land in a commercial exchange for units of property classified as property, plant, and equipment, a gain/loss would be recognized at the time of exchange.

Gains or losses arising from decommissioned property, plant, and equipment are calculated as the difference between disposal proceeds and the asset's book value, and are recognized through profit and loss in the year occurred.

  • 15 -

  • (IX) Investment Property

Investment properties are real estate properties held for rental income or capital gain, or both. Investment properties include land held on hand that the Company has yet to determine their future uses.

Investment properties are initially recognized at cost (including transaction cost) and subsequently presented at cost after accumulated depreciation and impairment. Investment properties are depreciated on a straight-line basis.

Difference between the disposal proceed and book value of decommissioned investment property is recognized in profit and loss.

  • (X) Intangible asset

  • Acquisition by separate purchase

    • Intangible assets that are acquired through separate purchase with limited useful

    • life are recognized at cost at initiation, and subsequently presented at cost less accumulated amortization and impairment. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their useful lives. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at least once at the end of each year. Impacts of changes in accounting estimates are applied prospectively.

  • Decommissioning

Difference between the net disposal proceed and book value of intangible assets removed is recognized in current profit and loss.

  • (XI) Impairment of property, plant, equipment, investment properties, and intangible assets The Company evaluates all property, plant, equipment, investment properties, and

  • intangible assets for signs of impairment every balance sheet date. Assets that exhibit any sign of impairment will have recoverable amount estimated. If the recoverable amount can not be estimated on an individual basis, the Company will instead estimate recoverable amount for the entire cash-generating unit.

Recoverable amount is the higher between "fair value less selling costs" and the "utilization value." If recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit falls below its book value, the book value of that particular asset/cash-generating unit shall be reduced to the recoverable amount with impairment losses recognized through profit and loss.

When impairment losses are reversed on a later date, the book value of corresponding assets/cash-generating units shall be adjusted upwards to the recoverable amount. However, the increased book value shall not exceed the book value (less amortization or depreciation) of the asset/cash-generating unit before impairment losses were recognized in the first place. Reversal of impairment loss is recognized through profit and loss.

  • (XII) Financial instruments Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized on parent-only balance sheet

  • when the Company becomes a party of the contract.

When recognizing financial assets and liabilities at initiation, those that are not designated to be carried at fair value through profit and loss are measured at fair value plus transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets/liabilities. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets/liabilities carried at fair value through profit and loss are recognized immediately through profit and loss.

  1. Financial asset Routine transactions of financial asset are recognized on or removed from balance

sheet based on principles of trade date accounting.

  • (1) Measurement category

Financial assets held by the Company are distinguished into the following categories: financial assets at FVTPL, financial assets carried at cost after amortization, and equity instruments at FVTOCI.

  • 16 -

  • A. Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets at FVTPL mainly comprise financial assets that are mandatory to be measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized through profit and loss. Financial assets that are mandatory to be measured at fair value with fair value changes recognized through profit and loss include: equity instruments that are not specified to be carried at FVTOCI, and debt instruments that do not satisfy the criteria to be carried at cost after amortization or at FVTOCI.

Financial assets at FVTPL are measured at fair value, with dividends and interests recognized as other income. Gains and losses from remeasurement are recognized as other gains and losses. See Note 25 for details regarding the fair value method.

  • B. Financial assets carried at cost after amortization

Financial asset investments that satisfy both the following conditions are carried at cost after amortization:

  • a. The financial asset is held for a specific business model, and the purpose of which is to hold the financial asset and collect contractual cash flow; and

  • b. The contractual terms give rise to cash flows on specific dates, and the cash flows are intended solely to pay principals and interests accruing on outstanding principals.

For financial assets carried at cost after amortization (including cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and other receivables carried at cost after amortization etc), the effective interest method is used to determine the book value at initiation. They are subsequently presented net of impairments and amortization. Any gain/loss from currency exchange incurred on these financial assets is recognized through profit and loss. Except for the two circumstances explained below, interest income is calculated by multiplying the book value of financial asset with effective interest rate:

  • a. Acquisition or creation of credit-impaired financial assets; in which case interest income is calculated by multiplying the cost of financial assets after amortization with credit-adjusted effective interest rate.

  • b. Financial assets that were not credit-impaired at the time of acquisition or origination, but become credit-impaired on a later date; in which case interest income is calculated by multiplying the cost of financial assets after amortization with the effective interest rate starting from the reporting period after credit impairment.

Financial assets are considered credit-impaired if the issuer or debtor exhibits major financial distress, default, likely bankruptcy, financial restructuring, or any financial difficulty that may render the financial asset no longer available on the active market.

Cash equivalents include time deposits with less than 3 months until maturity that are highly liquid, readily convertible into defined amounts of cash, and less prone to the risk of fair value changes. Cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

  • C. Equity instruments at FVTOCI

For equity instruments that are neither held for trading nor recognized/received as a consideration for business acquisition, the Company is entitled to an irrevocable option to account them at FVTOCI at initial recognition.

Equity instruments at FVTOCI are measured at fair value; subsequent fair value changes are recognized through other comprehensive income and accumulated under other equity. At the time of disposal, cumulative gains/losses are transferred directly into retained earnings and not reclassified into profit and loss.

Dividends from equity instruments at FVTOCI are recognized in profit and loss when the entitlement to receive is confirmed, unless the dividends clearly represent a partial recovery of the investment cost.

  • (2) Impairment of financial assets

On each balance sheet date, the Company assesses impairment losses on financial assets carried at cost after amortization (including accounts receivable) and operating lease receivable based on expected credit losses.

Accounts receivable and operating lease receivable have loss provisions recognized based on expected credit losses over their duration. For other financial assets, the Company first evaluates whether there is significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If there is no significant increase in credit risk, loss provisions are recognized based on 12-month expected credit loss; if there is significant increase in credit risk, loss provisions are recognized based on expected credit loss over the remaining duration.

Expected credit losses are determined as average credit loss weighed against the risk of default. 12-month expected credit losses represent the amount of credit losses that the financial instrument is likely to incur due to default event in the next 12 months, whereas expected credit losses for the remaining duration represent the amount of credit losses that the financial instrument is likely to incur due to all possible default events for the remaining duration.

  • All impairment losses on financial assets are recognized using allowance

  • accounts, which reduce book value of the corresponding financial asset.

  • (3) Removal of financial assets

Financial assets can be removed from balance sheet only if all contractual cash flow entitlements have ended, or if the asset has been transferred with virtually all risks and returns assumed by another party.

Difference between the book value of financial asset carried at cost after amortization and the amount of consideration received for the asset's removal is recognized through profit and loss. When an equity instruments at FVTOCI is removed from balance sheet, the amount of cumulative gain/loss is transferred directly into retained earnings and is not reclassified to profit and loss.

  1. Equity instrument

Debt and equity instruments issued by the Company are classified into financial liabilities or equity depending on the terms of the underlying contract and the definitions of financial liability and equity used.

Equity instruments issued by the Company are recognized at the amount of proceeds received net of direct issuing costs.

Buyback of the Company's own equity instruments is recognized and deducted under equity. Acquisition, sale, issuance, or retirement of the Company's own equity instruments is not recognized through profit and loss.

  1. Financial liability

  2. (1) Subsequent measurement All financial liabilities are carried at cost after amortization using the

  3. effective interest method.

  4. (2) Removal of financial liabilities

When a financial liability is removed, the difference between book value and the consideration paid (including any non-cash assets transferred or any additional liabilities borne) is recognized through profit and loss.

  • (XIII) Revenue recognition

The Company first identifies performance obligations in a contract it signs with customer, then divides and allocates the transaction sum to various obligations, and recognizes revenue when each obligation is fulfilled.

  • 18 -

Revenue from sale of merchandise

Revenue from sale of merchandise is generated from retail sale of goods in the departmental store, and is recognized as income at the time of customer's purchase. Proceeds collected in advance from the issuance of departmental store vouchers are recognized as contractual liabilities until the vouchers are redeemed by customers. Customer loyalty program represents reward points granted to customers for merchandises sold that customers can spend to purchase merchandise in the future, and are a form of customers' entitlement. At the time of transaction, a percentage of the sales proceeds received or receivable is treated as reward point and recognized as contractual liability; this liability is reclassified into income when reward points are redeemed or voided on a later date.

Sales proceeds of real estate properties sold under normal terms of business are collected in instalments. Contractual liabilities are recognized at the time the proceeds are collected, which are later recognized as income upon completion and delivery of each property to the respective buyer. (XIV) Leases The Company evaluates whether a contract meets the criteria of (or includes arrangements characterized as) lease on the day of contract establishment. Where the Company is the lessor

The Company does not have any lease arrangement that involves a transfer of virtually all risks and returns associated with ownership of the underlying asset to the lessee. All leases are classified as operating lease.

In an operating lease arrangement, the amount of proceeds received net of incentives are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the lease tenor. Lease negotiation with a lessee is accounted as a new lease from the effective date of lease amendment.

When a lease includes both land and building elements, the Company assesses the classification of each element as the finance or operation lease based on whether substantially all of the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of each element have been transferred to the lessee. The leasing payment is shared between the land and building, based on the relative proportions between the fair values of the land and building’s leasing rights on the date the contract executed. If the leasing payment may be reliably shared between the two elements, each element is treated with the applicable lease classification. If the lease payment cannot be reliably distributed to the two elements, the lease as a whole is the classified as the financing lease; provided that if both elements are obviously qualified for the operation lease criteria, the overall lease is classified as an operation lease. (XV) Borrowing costs Borrowing costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition, construction, or production of qualified assets are treated as part of an asset's cost until virtually all activities needed to bring the asset to its designated usable or salable state have been completed. For specific-purpose loans undertaken for qualified capital spending, any investment income earned on short-term investment of the proceeds before incurring the capital spending is deducted from capitalized borrowing costs.

Except for the above, all other borrowing costs are recognized through profit and loss in the year occurred.

(XVI) Governmental subsidies Governmental subsidies are only recognized when it is reasonably assured that the Company will comply with the conditions attached to the governmental subsidies and receive such subsidies.

The governmental subsidies related to incomes are recognized under other incomes on the systematic basis during the period when the related costs to which the subsidies intend to compensate are recognized as expenses by the Company.

If the governmental subsidies are used to compensate the incurred expenses or losses, or the purpose is providing an immediate financial support to the Company without future related cost, such subsidies are recognized under profit/loss during the period to receive such.

  • 19 -

  • (XVII) Employee benefits 1. Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities associated with short-term employee benefits are measured at non-discounted amount of cash that the Company expects to pay in exchange for employees' service.

  1. Post-employment benefits

For defined contribution plans, the amount of contributions that has to be made to pension funds over the duration of employees' service is recognized as expense. For defined benefit plans, the cost of benefit (including service cost, net interest, and effect of remeasurement) is estimated using the Projected Unit Credit Method. Service costs (including current and previous service costs) and net interests on net defined benefit liabilities (assets) are recognized as employee welfare expense at the time incurred or whenever the plan is amended or curtailed. Effects of remeasurement (including actuarial gains/losses, change in plan asset limits, and return on plan assets net of interest) are recognized under other comprehensive income and added to retained earnings at the time of occurrence. This amount is not reclassified into profit and loss in subsequent periods.

Net defined benefit liabilities (plan assets) represent the shortfall (surplus) of contributions made to the defined benefit plan. Net defined benefit plan assets may not exceed the amount of contributions refundable or the present value of reducible contributions in the future.

  • (XVIII) Income tax

The income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

  1. Tax currently payable

The Company reports current period income (loss) and calculates income tax payable (refundable) according to tax laws stipulated by the local tax jurisdiction. Pursuant to the Income Tax Act of the Republic of China, undistributed earnings are subject to additional income tax, which is recognized in the year shareholders resolve to retain the earning.

Adjustments to income taxes reported in previous years are recognized as income tax expenses in the period the adjustment is made.

  1. Deferred tax

Deferred income taxes are tax effects of temporary differences, given rise by the different book value of assets and liabilities presented in the financial statement and those reported for tax filing.

Tax impacts arising from taxable temporary differences are recognized as deferred income tax liabilities; deferred income tax assets are recognized under the condition that the Company is very likely to generate taxable income in the future to offset deductible temporary differences or losses carried forward.

Temporary differences that were not initially recognized as deferred income tax assets are also subject to re-assessment on every balance sheet date. These differences may be recognized to increase the book value of deferred income tax asset if the Company considers it highly likely to generate taxable income for full or partial recovery of such asset in the future. Temporary differences that were not initially recognized as deferred income tax assets are also subject to re-assessment on every balance sheet date. These differences may be recognized to increase the book value of deferred income tax asset if the Company considers it highly likely to generate taxable income for full or partial recovery of such asset in the future.

Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are estimated using expected tax rate applicable at the time the liability/asset is expected to be settled/realized. This expected tax rate is determined based on the tax rate and tax laws prevailing as at the balance sheet date. Deferred income tax liabilities and assets represent tax impacts of the method by which the Company expects to recover/settle the book value of its assets and liabilities as at the balance sheet date.

  1. Current and deferred income tax

  2. 20 -

Current and deferred income taxes are recognized through profit and loss, except for source accounts that are recognized under other comprehensive income or directly as other equity item, where current and deferred income taxes are also recognized under other comprehensive income or directly as equity.

V.

Sources of uncertainty to significant accounting judgments, estimates, and assumptions

When applying accounting policies, the management is required to make judgments, estimates, and assumptions based on historical experience or other relevant factors in situations where information cannot be easily obtained from available sources. The actual outcome may differ from initial estimates.

The Company incorporates the development of COVID-19 pandemic in Taiwan, and its potential impact on the economic environment, as the considerations for the related material accounting estimates, including estimation of cash flow, growth rate, discount rate, and profitability. The management will continue to review the estimates and basic assumptions. If a revision of accounting estimate affects only the current period, the effect shall be recognized only for the current period. If a revision of accounting estimate affects current and future periods, the effect shall also be recognized for current and future periods. Sources of uncertainty to estimates and assumptions

Impairment of property, plant, equipment, investment properties, and intangible assets

When assessing asset impairment, the Company relies on the use of subjective judgment and determines the level of independent cash flow, useful life, and future

income/expenses/losses for specific asset groups after taking into consideration the method in which assets are used and industry characteristics. Any change of economic circumstances and any change in estimate caused by the Company's strategies may result in significant impairment in the future.

(I) Trade receivable Accounts receivable primarily represent retail sales collectible from consumers on transactions paid with credit cards and third-party payment tools. The majority of accounts receivable are credit card balances to be collected from financial institutions. Credit term on sale of merchandise is generally 30 days, and most proceeds are collected within this duration.

The Company recognizes loss provisions on accounts receivable based on expected credit losses over the duration of the receivable account. Expected credit loss over the remaining duration takes into account customers' past payment records. Since previous credit loss records showed no significant difference in loss pattern across customer groups, the Company simply set the expected credit loss rate based on number of days overdue. If there is evidence to suggest that the counterparty is undergoing severe financial crisis and the recoverable amount can not be reasonably estimated, the Company will directly offset loss provisions against accounts receivable. In which case, the Company will continue collection efforts on the receivables, and any amounts recovered will be recognized through profit and loss.

Age of account receivables is analyzed as below:

Not overdue December 31,2022

$ 6,604

The Company found no sign of impairment in accounts and notes receivable as at December 31, 2022 and 2021.

(II) Operating lease receivable

Operating lease receivable represents lease incentives granted on operating leases. The total cost of incentives is amortized on a straight-line basis and allocated over the remaining lease tenor as deductions to rental income. Lease negotiations had taken place with some lessees in the current year due to COVID-19. The negotiations were accounted as new leases from the effective date of lease amendment.

XVIII. Post-employment benefit plans (I) Defined contribution plans

The pension scheme introduced under the "Labor Pension Act" that the Company is subjected to is a government-managed defined contribution plan, for which each participating entity is required to contribute an amount equal to 6% of employees' monthly salary into their individual pension accounts held with the Bureau of Labor Insurance.

  • 30 -

(II) defined benefit plan

The Company is also subject to the pension scheme introduced under the "Labor Standards Act," which is a government-managed defined benefit plan. Under this plan, employees' pension benefits are calculated based on their years of service and gross salary for the month of retirement (excluding allowances and festive bonuses). The Company makes monthly pension contributions equivalent to 2% of employees' monthly salaries into an account held under Bank of Taiwan in the Labor Pension Supervisory Committee's name. In the event that the account is estimated to be short of balance to pay workers who are expected to meet their retirement criteria in the following year, the Company will reimburse the shortfall in one contribution by no later than the end of March next year. The account is managed by Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor. The Company has no influence whatsoever over the investment strategy.

The following amounts relating to the defined benefit plan have been recognized on the parent-only balance sheet:

The Company is exposed to the following risks due to adoption of pension scheme introduced under the "Labor Standards Act":

  1. Investment risks: The Bureau of Labor Funds, Ministry of Labor, manages the labor pension fund either on its own or through mandate. The labor pension fund is being allocated into equity securities, debt securities, and bank deposits local and abroad; however, the Company estimates return on plan assets at a rate no less than the 2-year time deposit rate offered by local banks.

  2. Interest rate risk: A decrease in government bond yield would increase the present value of defined benefit obligations while at the same time increase return of plan assets invested in debt instruments. The overall effect on net defined benefit obligation is partially offset.

  3. Salary risk: The present value of defined benefit obligations is calculated by taking into consideration the participants' future salary levels. An increase in salary level would raise the present value of defined benefit obligations.

The present value of defined benefit obligations is determined based on actuarial estimates made by certified actuaries. Below are the main assumptions used on the date of measurement:

1.250%
2.000%
December 31,2021
0.625%

  • 32 -

A reasonable change in the main actuarial assumption would increase (decrease) the present value of defined benefit obligations by the following amounts, provided that all other assumptions remain unchanged:

Actuarial assumptions tend to be intercorrelated. It is unlikely to see only one assumption changing at one time, therefore the above sensitivity analysis may not truly reflect changes in the present value of defined benefit obligation.

This additional paid-in capital can be offset against losses, or distributed in cash or capitalized into share capital when the Company has no cumulative losses outstanding. However, capitalization of this additional paid-in capital is capped at a certain percentage of the Company's paid-in share capital each year.

(III) Retained earnings and dividends policy

According to the earnings appropriation policy stipulated in the Articles of Incorporation, annual surpluses concluded by the Company are first subject to taxation and reimbursement of previous losses, followed by a 10% provision for statutory reserves and provision or reversal of special reserves as the laws may require. Any surpluses remaining will be added to unappropriated earnings accumulated from previous years, for which the board of directors will propose an earnings appropriation plan and seek resolution in a shareholder meeting before distribution. Refer to Note 21-(8) - Employee and director remuneration for the Company's employee and director remuneration policy outlined in the Articles of Incorporation.

  • 33 -

The Company passed a resolution during the shareholder meeting dated June 28, 2019 to amend its Articles of Incorporation. In addition to the terms described in the preceding paragraph, any cash distribution of dividend, profit, statutory reserve, or additional paid-in capital, whether in whole or in part, must be resolved in a board meeting with more than two-thirds of the board present, voted in favor by more than half of attending directors, and reported in the upcoming shareholder meeting.

The Company’s shareholders’ meeting resolved to amend the Articles of Incorporation on August 31, 2021. As a conventional department store, the Company experiences no major change in sales volume but foresees moderate growth. After taken into consideration its long-term development plans and goals of maximizing shareholders' interest, the Company has adopted a dividend policy that makes consistent payouts primarily in cash. The shareholders’ dividends are not lower than 10% of the distributable earnings of the year; of which, cash dividends shall not account for less than 50% of the sum of cash dividends plus stock dividends. However, the Company may forgo dividend payment if distributable earnings amount to NT$0.2 or less in a given year.

Other than aforesaid, the shareholders’ meeting also specified that as required by laws, the Company shall make provision for special earnings reserve from unappropriated earnings carried from previous years for any net contra-equity balances accumulated under other contra-equity items in previous years before distributing earnings. If the Company is unable to make adequate provision from unappropriated earnings carried from previous years, the Company shall treat current net income and non-net income items as unappropriated earnings and make provisions accordingly.

Appropriation of earnings to legal reserve shall be made until the reserve equals the Company’s paid-in capital. Legal reserves may be used to offset the deficit. If the Company has no deficit and the legal reserve has exceeded 25% of the Company’s paid-in capital, the excess may be transferred to capital or distributed in cash.

The following are details of the 2021 and 2020 earnings appropriation resolved during annual general meetings held on June 14, 2022 and August 31, 2021:

The aforesaid cash dividends have been resolved for the distribution in the board meetings on March 14, 2022 and March 22, 2021, respectively. To respond to the “Measures Related to Postponing Shareholders’ Meeting of Public Companies to Cope with the Pandemic,” announced by FSC, the Company cancelled the originally scheduled shareholders’ meeting, and convened the meeting on August 31, 2021.

Details of the 2022 earnings appropriation plan proposed by the board of directors in meeting dated March 6, 2023 are as follows:

(IV) Special reserves

The Company reclassified NT$372,185 thousand of unrealized gain on revaluation into retained earnings when adopting IFRSs for the first time, and made provisions for special reserves of the same amount in accordance with the authority's instruction No. Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-1010012865 in 2013. This special reserve may be reversed when the underlying property is disposed or reclassified on a later date.

When appropriating 2021 and 2020 earnings, the Company made reversal and provision for special reserves totaling NT$5,832 thousand and NT$39,225 thousand, respectively, for differences in the market price and book value of parent company shares held by subsidiaries, after taking into consideration the prevailing shareholding percentage.

If the Company has the option to distribute employee remuneration either in cash or in shares, then the calculation of diluted earnings per share shall be made by assuming full share-based payment. In which case, the number of potential common shares is added to the calculation of weighted-average outstanding shares as soon as they become dilutive, and this is the basis used for calculating diluted earnings per share. Such a 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 at their meeting in the following year.

XXIV. Capital risk management

The Company exercises capital management to ensure business continuity throughout the group. This capital management aims to maintain an optimal balance of debt and equity that maximizes shareholder returns. The Company has maintained its overall strategies unchanged in past years.

The Company's capital structure comprises net debt (i.e. borrowings less cash and cash equivalents) and equity (i.e. sum of share capital, additional paid-in capital, retained earnings, and other equity items).

The Company is not required to obey any other capital rules outside the organization. The management reviews the Company's capital structure on a regular basis to address the costs and risks associated with various types of capital. Depending on the recommendations of its management, the Company may balance its capital structure by paying dividends, raising new debts, or by repaying existing debts.

XXV. Financial instruments

  • (I) Fair value information - financial instruments that are not measured at fair value

In the management's opinion, all financial assets and liabilities that are not measured at fair value have been presented on the parent-only balance sheet at book values that resemble their fair values.

  • Level 3 fair value measurement technique and assumption Fair value of domestic and foreign unlisted shares is determined based on

investees' latest net worth after taking liquidity into consideration. Liquidity discount is used as a significant unobservable input; a lower liquidity discount would increase fair value of such investment.

Note 1: The balance includes cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables , time deposits with initial maturity of more than 3 months, and refundable deposits, and other financial assets carried at cost after amortization.

  • Note 2: The balance includes short-term borrowing notes payable, accounts payable, accrued expenses (excluding tax payable and salary & bonus payable), equipment purchase payable, other payables, long-term borrowings due within one year, refundable deposits, long-term borrowings, and other financial liabilities carried at cost after amortization.

(IV) Financial risk management objective and policies Main financial instruments used by the Company include equity and debt instruments, fund beneficiary certificates, accounts receivable, accounts payable, and loans. The Company's Financial Management Department is responsible for supporting business units, making coordinated use of capital, and performing treasury transactions in local and international financial markets. It monitors and manages financial risks within the Company by preparing internal reports, which analyze the scope and severity of risk exposures. These risks include market risk (including currency risk, interest rate risk, and other price risks), credit risk, and liquidity risk.

  1. Market risk

  2. (1) Exchange rate risk

See Note 28 for information on financial assets denominated in non-functional currencies as at the balance sheet date. No sensitivity analysis was provided as the effect of exchange rate variation was insignificant. (2) Interest rate risk

The Company is exposed to interest rate risks due to capital borrowed at both fixed and floating rates.

The book value of financial assets and financial liabilities susceptible to interest rate risks as at the balance sheet date is presented below:

  • 45 -

Bank deposits and loans that the Company has placed/borrowed at fixed rate are susceptible to interest rate risk in the form of fair value change. However, the management considers the impact of interest rate variation to be insignificant given the short borrowing tenor and low borrowing rate. Demand deposits and loans that the Company has placed/borrowed at floating rate are susceptible to interest rate risk in the form of cash flow changes.

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis has been prepared to explain interest rate risk exposure of floating-rate financial assets and bank loans as at the balance sheet date. Calculations were made on financial assets and liabilities that were susceptible to interest rate risk in the form of cash flow changes as at the balance sheet date. Interest rate sensitivity analyses are reported to the management by applying a variance of 0.25% above and below. This variance conforms with the management's expectation about the possible and reasonable range of interest rate variation.

A 0.25% increase/decrease in interest rate would have reduced/increased the Company's 2022 and 2021 pre-tax profit by NT$1,201 thousand and NT$3,166 thousand, respectively, if all other variables remained unchanged. This variation is largely attributed to exposure of bank loans undertaken at floating rate.

There was no significant change in the Company's interest rate sensitivity from the previous year.

(3) Other price risk

The Company is exposed to the risk of equity price variation due to investment in domestic and foreign listed equity securities. The Company does not engage in active trading of such investment. Equity price risk of the Company is mainly concentrated in equity instruments issued within the Greater China Region.

Sensitivity analysis

The following sensitivity analysis was conducted based on equity price risks as at the balance sheet date.

If equity prices increased/decreased by 10%, pre-tax profit for 2022 and 2021 would have increased/decreased by NT$15,422 thousand and NT$12,938 thousand, respectively, due to a rise/fall in the fair value of financial assets at FVTPL. Meanwhile, pre-tax other comprehensive income for 2022 and 2021 would have increased/decreased by NT$1,719 thousand and NT$2,220 thousand, respectively, due to a rise/fall in the fair value of financial assets at FVTOCI.

  • 46 -

  • Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss due to counterparties’ failure in fulfilling contractual obligations. As at the balance sheet date, the Company's maximum exposure to the risk of loss due to counterparties' default on contractual obligations is represented by the book value of financial assets shown on the parent-only balance sheet.

Lease proceeds receivable by the Company were concentrated in three main customers, which accounted for 93% and 95% of the balance as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively. However, the Company expects no significant credit risk as it has collected appropriate amounts of deposit.

Furthermore, due to the fact that the consolidated entity places liquid capital with banks of high credit rating issued by reputable international rating agencies, there should be limited level of credit risk exposure.

  1. Liquidity risk

The Company maintains adequate position of cash and cash equivalents as well as bank credit lines to support corporate operations and to mitigate effects of cash flow variation. The management monitors use of bank limits and makes sure that borrowing terms are duly complied.

Maturity analysis for contracted non-derivative financial liabilities was prepared based on the earliest possible repayment dates, using undiscounted cash flows (including principal and estimated interest). Cash flows include interest and principal payments.

The following table shows the earliest times that the Company may be demanded to make immediate repayment of bank loans, without considering the likelihood of such demands. Maturity analysis of other non-derivative financial liabilities is prepared based on the agreed repayment date.

Undiscounted amounts of floating interest cash flow are estimated using yield curve as at the balance sheet date. December 31, 2022
