1. Matters to Report
(1) 2020 Business Report
Looking back on 2020, we can see that the global economy has been deeply affected by the COVID-19 pandemic, and the lockdown policies of governments in various countries have had a very severe impact. Pandemic control measures worked well domestically, and manufacturing capacity was transferred back to aid in domestic production. Taiwanese businessmen affected by the US-China trade war can now speed up their return to Taiwan, or increase their investments there, which will make the overall employment situation in Taiwan more stable. With the strong appreciation of the Taiwan Dollar, all of these factors will help boost domestic demand. The growth rate in 2020 is estimated to be 2.98%, compared with 2.71% in the previous year, which indicates "solid growth". In the real estate sector, thanks to the above incentives, consumers have become more confident to buy property, showing an increasing trend for prices and transaction volumes. Returning capital of Taiwanese businessmen has continuously increased the demand for commercial and industrial land. It is expected that speculative buying in the property market will slow down after the government’s property measures come into effect and the Real Price Registration 2.0 Amendment Law is passed, while transactions in the property market will still be dominated by rigid demand. In 2020, the Company completed two joint venture development projects with Japanese companies, and increased its development method. The new projects have achieved a solid sales performance, and inventory has hit a new historic low. In view of the projects,
2
the Company has set a higher target sales rate, and increased its sales performance. In the middle of the year, the Company launched several new projects, such as "Cathay Chuan Ching" in Taoyuan and "Cathay Opulence" in Xindian. As the Company's products satisfy the needs of property purchasers, the Company has achieved a great sales performance, with an average sales rate of more than 80% by the end of the year, thus exceeding the set target. In terms of revenue, the projects accounted for on the books include four construction projects, namely the "Cathay Water Park One" in Taoyuan, "Cathay The Seeds Of Happiness" in Hsinchu, "Cathay PLUS+" in Taichung, and "Cathay One & Only Building" in Kaohsiung, as well as those completed and undelivered in the previous year. The total annual revenue reached TWD thirteen billion, three hundred and thirty-six million, two hundred and twenty thousand.
Looking forward to the year 2021, and driven by abundant capital in the domestic housing market, although the COVID-19 pandemic has raged through many countries and regions across the world, Taiwanese businessmen will return their working capital to Taiwan to accelerate the rigid rate of domestic demand for properties, which in turn will help bolster domestic demand. With regards to domestic economy, rigid demand has driven a moderate recovery. With regards to financial, it is expected that the low interest environment will continue to persist. With regards to policy, the government is actively guiding the return of overseas capital, and the property market is currently consolidating due to the impact of government policies. With regards to the market, people's
3
buying power has been affected by government policy, and consumers have adopted a wait-and-see attitude, causing buying to slowly go into reverse. The construction industry is actively laying out land, and it is expected that more projects will start being launched. With this in mind, the market should sustainably and moderately recover. In 2020, the Company achieved a strong sales performance in its new projects and construction sites. Its inventory hit a historic low, and land has been actively purchased in elite areas. Meanwhile, land inventory has been reserved. Therefore, in 2021, the Company will actively launch new projects, set a higher target sales rate, and expects to increase its sales performance. In the first half of this year, the Company plans to launch "Cathay XiJing" in Taoyuan, "Cathay Of Riverside" in Sanchong, an urban renewal project called "Cathay Relaxing Sunny Day" in Nangang, and "Dun Nan Lin Garden" in Taipei. The Company also plans to launch "Cathay The Park" in Taichung, and the Japanese Mitsui Real Estate Joint Venture project "UNI PARK" in Tainan in the southern central region. In the second half of the year, it is expected to launch nine projects, such as the "Renping Section" in Taichung, "Cathay Leisurely Place" in Nangang, and "Wenlin North Road" in Beitou. The Company will continue to deepen its reserves of land and transform to develop itself into an integrated developer.
This year, the Company's management policy will follow the concepts of "five years of deep cultivation, ten years of new environment" and "create value, deepen the brand". It will also strengthen its core business, actively integrate under a digital transformation, provide greater product service value,
4
and create a more profound brand effect. In terms of its future development strategy, the Company continues to develop itself towards becoming an integrated developer. In terms of its core business, in addition to its basic land reserves, the Company will be developing its land to increase diversity. For example, by developing joint ventures and commercial property. In terms of reinvestment, the health management and hotel business are undergoing steady operations. New sites and clinics were added to the business travel and health management businesses last year. Following this, the Company will optimize its efficiency and continue to expand sites in parallel to enhance its service and expand its business territory. In addition, the Company is also actively evaluating its investments in other new businesses, and plans to expand its development and business territory to create more room for profit.
I would like to express my highest gratitude to the directors for their gracious presence and guidance today.
I wish you all good health and good luck! Thank you!
Chairman: Ching-kuei Chang President: Hung-Ming Lee Chief Accountant: Yo-Chi Lo

Independent Auditors’ Report Translated from Chinese
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Cathay Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Cathay Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the parent company only financial statements”).
In our opinion, the parent company only financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the parent company only 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 (the “Norm”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Norm. Based on our audits, 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.
9
Revenue Recognition
The Company is primarily engaged in entrusting construction company in construction and planning of public housing and commercial offices for sale and rental. Since the company’s construction income is classified as operating revenue based on sale of goods, the relevant profit and loss are recognized when the ownership transferred. Due to the significance of the construction income in the parent company only financial statements, with respect to a significant proportion within operating revenue, and need to judge and determine performance obligation and the timing of satisfaction, the construction revenue is determined to be a key audit matter.
The audit procedures we performed regarding construction revenue recognition included but not ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������ transaction process and perform the tests of control on the effectiveness of control points during ������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������������� ��������������������������������������������������������������������������������������firm the appropriateness of the timing the performance obligation is recognized.
We also assess whether the Company properly disclose information relating the construction income of financial statement. Please refer Note 4 and Note 6.
Valuation of Construction Land
The construction land of the Company shall be measured at the lower of cost and net realized value, and the net realizable value of the construction land is determined based on the management’s judgement and estimation. Due to the significance of construction land in the parent company only financial statements, the valuation of construction land is determined to be a key audit matter.
The audit procedures we performed regarding construction land valuation included but not limited to: evaluate the appropriateness of the construction land accoun��������������������������������������� process and perform tests of control on the effectiveness of control points during internal control ����������������������������������������������������������process and the key valuation parameters, and evaluate the reasonableness on the basis of working paper and relevant documentation corresponding to construction land valuation which included in inventories.

10
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 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:
11
-
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.
-
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 identify during our audit.
12
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.
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.

Independent Auditors’ Report Translated from Chinese
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Cathay Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Cathay Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (the “Company”) and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including the summary of significant accounting policies (together “the consolidated financial statements”).
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and their consolidated financial performance and cash flows for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, in conformity with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company and its subsidiaries 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, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
19
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of 2020 consolidated financial statements. 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.
Revenue recognition
The Company and its subsidiaries is primarily engaged in entrusting construction company in construction and planning of public housing and commercial offices for sale. Since the Company’s construction income is classified as operating revenue based on sale of goods, the relevant profit and loss are recognized when the ownership transferred. Due to the significance of the construction income in the financial statements, with respect to a significant proportion within operating revenue, and need to judge and determine performance obligation and the timing of satisfaction, the construction revenue is determined to be a key audit matter.
The audit procedures we performed regarding construction revenue recognition included but not limited to: evaluate the appropriateness of the construction income recognition policies; realize the transaction process and perform the tests of control on the effectiveness of control points during internal control audit; select samples to perform transaction test of details and verify major clauses and conditions in the construction contract; review the transaction conditions and confirm the appropriateness of the timing the performance obligation is recognized.
We also assess whether the Company properly disclose information relating the construction income of financial statement. Please refer Note 4.(17) and Note 6.(18).
Valuation of Construction Land
The construction land of the Company and its subsidiaries shall be measured at the lower of cost and net realized value, and the net realizable value of the construction land is determined based on the management’s judgement and estimation. Due to the significance of construction land in the financial statements, the valuation of construction land is determined to be a key audit matter.
The audit procedures we performed regarding construction land valuation included but not limited to: evaluate the appropriateness of the construction land accounting policies; realize the transaction process and perform tests of control on the effectiveness of control points during internal control audit; select samples to analyze the management valuation process and the key valuation parameters, and evaluate the reasonableness on the basis of working paper and relevant documentation corresponding to construction land valuation which included in inventories.
We also assess whether the company properly disclose information relating the construction land valuation of financial statement. Please refer Note 4.(9), Note 5.(2).(E) and Note 6.(5).
20
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the requirements of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability to continue as a going concern of the Company and its subsidiaries, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including audit committee or supervisors, are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process of the Company and its subsidiaries.
Auditor’s 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 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 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 consolidated 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:
21
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated 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.
-
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 and its subsidiaries.
-
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 and its subsidiaries. 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 consolidated 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 and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the accompanying notes, and whether the consolidated 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 and its subsidiaries to express an opinion on the consolidated 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 identify during our audit.
22
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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of 2020 consolidated 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.
We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
