Financial Statements for the

Years Ended December 31, 2023 and 2022 and Independent Auditors' Report

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT

The Board of Directors

KGI Life Insurance Co., Ltd.

(Former Name: China Life Insurance Co., Ltd.)

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying balance sheets of KGI Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (Former Name: China Life Insurance Co., Ltd.) (the "Company") as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, and the related statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, and notes to the financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together "the financial statements").In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, its financial performance and cash flows for the year ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, become effective by Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The key audit matters of the Company's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are as follows:

Fair Value Measurement of Investments with No Active Market Exists

Management uses valuation model to calculate the fair value of financial instruments with no quoted market prices in an active market. Parameters used in valuation model are unobservable inputs. For the fact that the inputs involve material managerial estimation and judgment, we identified the valuation as a key audit matter for the year ended December 31, 2023.

- 1 -

Refer to Notes 4, 5 and 38 for the relevant accounting policies, critical accounting judgments, estimation uncertainty, and disclosures of fair value measurement of financial instruments with no quoted market prices in an active market.

We understood and assessed the Company's internal control related to the evaluation of financial assets with no quoted market prices in an active market and its operation effectiveness. We selected samples from the financial assets with no quoted market prices in an active market and we evaluated and re-performed the appropriateness of the parameters, such as the selection of comparable companies and reasonableness of the financial multipliers used in the valuation models.

Assessment of Insurance Liabilities and Liability Adequacy Reserve

As stated in Note 5, management uses actuarial models and several material assumptions when assessing the insurance liabilities and liability adequacy reserve. The assumptions were based on the principles embodied in the relevant laws and regulations, which cover the unique risk exposure, product characteristics and experiences from target markets of KGI Life Insurance Co., Ltd. (the "Company"). The assessment of liability adequacy reserve is in compliance with the relevant norms promulgated by The Actuarial Institute of the Republic of China. When the Company assesses the liability adequacy reserve, the estimated present value of future cash flows of insurance contracts is based on a reasonable estimate of future insurance payments, premium income and related expenses. Since any change in the actuarial model and material assumptions will have a significant influence on insurance liabilities and liability adequacy reserve, we consider them as key audit matters for the year ended December 31, 2023.

Refer to Notes 4, 5, 21 and 37 for the relevant accounting policy, critical accounting judgments, and estimation uncertainty, and disclosures of assessment of insurance liabilities and liability adequacy reserve.

We understood and assessed the Company's internal controls related to insurance liabilities and liability adequacy reserve. We requested and our internal actuarial specialists assisted us in performing our audit procedures regarding insurance liability including the evaluation of the rationale of relevant assumptions and actuarial models adopted by management. As for the liability adequacy reserve, we assessed the reasonableness of the underlying assumptions and outcomes.

Other Matter

The accompanying financial statements of KGI Life Insurance Co., Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2022 was audited by other accountant, resulting in this unqualified auditors' audit report on February 23, 2022.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Insurance and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

- 2 -

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an 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 Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  2. 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.
  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
  5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

- 3 -

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

The engagement partners on the audits resulting in this independent auditors' audit report are Wang-Seng Lin and Yi-Chun Wu.
