Reasons for retroactive adjustment or restatement

Since 1 January 2023, the Group has implemented the requirement of the “Accounting of deferred income tax related to assets and liabilities arising from an individual transaction not applicable to initial recognition exemption” under the “Interpretation of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 16” promulgated by the Ministry of Finance.

According to the provisions of Interpretation No. 16, if the individual transaction of the Group is not a business combination, or its occurrence does not affect the accounting profit nor taxable income (or deductible loss), and the initially recognized assets and liabilities result in equal taxable temporary difference and deductible temporary difference, the provisions of “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 18-Income Tax” on the exemption from the initial recognition of deferred income tax liabilities and deferred income tax assets are not applicable. According to the “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 18-Income Tax” and other relevant regulations, as for the taxable temporary difference and deductible temporary difference arising from the initial recognition of assets and liabilities, the Group recognizes the corresponding deferred income tax liabilities and deferred income tax assets respectively when the transaction occurs.

- 3 -

The above regulations have come into effect on 1 January 2023. The Group has made retrospective adjustments to the individual transactions that occurred between 1 January 2022 and the date of initial implementation to which the regulations apply. For the lease liabilities and right-of-use assets recognized on 1 January 2022 due to the individual transactions subject to the regulations resulting in taxable temporary difference and deductible temporary difference, the Group adjusted the cumulative impact amount to the opening retained earnings and other related financial statement items of the earliest period presented in the financial statements in accordance with the regulations and the “Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 18-Income Tax”.
