We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, 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 2020 parent company only financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Revenue Recognition
Net sales recognized by the Company amounted to NT$ 1,991,144 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2020. As revenue included room revenue and food and beverage sales with large number of transactions, the appropriateness of timing of revenue recognition is material for the parent company only financial statements. Therefore, we considered this is a key audit matter. Our audit procedures included (but not limited to), assessing the appropriateness of the accounting policy of revenue recognition, performing walkthrough of room revenue and food and beverage sales to understand the internal control of sales process and the effectiveness of the design of internal controls, testing operating effectiveness of internal controls related to the timing of revenue recognition, selecting samples to perform cut-off testing and inspecting billing statements and invoices to verify proper cut-off of revenue. In addition, we evaluated the adequacy of disclosures of operating revenues. Please refer to Notes 4 and 6 to the parent company only financial statements.
Net defined benefit liabilities
The Company is labor-intensive industry. Employees are high in seniority and most of them chose defined benefits plan. As of December 31, 2020, the Company’s net defined benefit liabilitiesnoncurrent amounted to NT$61,234 thousand, representing 2.93% of total liabilities. The defined benefit costs were recognized as profit or loss amounted to NT$4,628 thousand, representing 146.07% of the income before tax for the year ended December 31, 2020. In addition, the valuation of the defined benefit plan involved making various assumptions. Change in assumptions may be significant for the parent company only financial statements. Therefore, we considered this is a key audit matter. Since the aforementioned amounts were recognized by the Company according to the actuarial report issued by an external actuary, we communicated with the external expert and assessed objectivity. We tested the accuracy and completeness of the underlying data used in the actuarial report, assessed the reasonableness of assumptions or principles and performed sensitivity analysis (including discount rate, turnover rate and expected rate of salary increases). In addition, we evaluated the adequacy of disclosures of net defined benefit liabilities. Please refer to Notes 4, 5 and 6 to the parent company only financial statements.
Other Matter – Making Reference to the Audits of Component Auditors
We did not audit the financial statements of certain associates and joint ventures accounted for under the equity method. Those financial statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinions expressed herein are based solely on the audit reports of the other auditors. These associates and joint ventures under equity method amounted to NT$314,665 thousand and NT$345,882 thousand, representing 2.37% and 2.85% of total assets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively. The related shares of profits (losses) from the associates and joint ventures under the equity method amounted to NT$(43,408) thousand and NT$19,358 thousand, representing (1,370.05)% and 4.61% of the income before tax for the years ended December 31 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the related shares of other comprehensive income from the associates and joint ventures under the equity method amounted to NT$9,400 thousand and NT$26,956 thousand, representing 1.92% and 5.60% of the other comprehensive income for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error 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 parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
20 -
-
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 internal control of the Company.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor’s report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
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 identified 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.
- 21 -
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 2020 parent company only financial statements and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor’s 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.

Item 5 Outlook
It is impacted by the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, although the government has successively introduced tourism promotion policies to promote the domestic tourism and accommodation of Taiwanese, under the continuous implementation of border controls in various countries, the number of international tourists to Taiwan has dropped sharply compared with the previous year. It is still resulting in the overall housing rate and the average rooms income both fell. In addition, the domestic catering market was also affected by the epidemic. Although in the second half of the year, as the domestic epidemic slowed down, Taiwanese’s willingness to dine outside is increased, but the overall catering industry still showed a decline. With all my colleagues working together to expand customer sources and reduce expenditure, it is still remained slight surplus in 2020. I sincerely thank all the directors and shareholders for their support.
Looking forward to the year 2021, the government will release the "Tourism 2030-for Taiwan Tourism Policy White Paper" to actively build Taiwan's tourism brand. However, due to the outbreak of COVID-19 pandemic, the unresolved cross-strait political and economic deadlock, intensified competition for foreign brands entering, and oversupply in the consumer market, the prospects of the tourism industry are not optimistic, and the overall profitability is severely tested.
To face the unfavorable situation, the company still adheres to the high-quality service as the foundation, through the integrated use of group resources to expand the breadth and depth of the market. The company continues to optimize software and hardware equipment, implement standardized procedures to continue the classic brand, and establish a talent training system to improve employee service quality. In addition, the company continues to uphold the original intention of giving back to the society, implement the corporate social responsibility, create the value of corporate sustainable operation, and live up to the expectations of shareholders. I hope all the shareholders will not hesitate to advise.
