1. Matters to Report

(1) 2024 Business Report

In the middle of 2024, major global economies gradually entered an interest rate-cutting cycle. Coupled with strong demand for emerging technology development, Taiwan's 2024 economic growth rate exceeded expectations, significantly stimulating high investment confidence and enabling the stock market to maintain prosperity at 20,000 points. Regarding domestic demand, due to improved corporate profits and continued salary adjustment trends, private consumption maintained moderate growth. Even with the high base period of the previous year, quarterly growth rates remained positive. Regarding external demand, continued expansion was driven by information and communication products. Traditional industries also rebounded in the third quarter after a previous period of decline. Overall, all economic indicators in 2024 were impressive.

2024 marked a significant milestone for the Company as we proudly celebrated our 60th anniversary. To commemorate, we launched 8 new construction projects: Cathay Cheng Zhen in Taipei, Cathay Xu, META PARK (joint venture), RiVER PARK (joint venture), and METRO PARK (joint venture) in New Taipei City, Cathay Yang Hui, and Cathay Sen Lin Hui in Taichung, and Cathay Yang Mu in Tainan. Owing to strategic product planning aligning with

2

market demands and robust market conditions in the first half of 2024, these projects achieved outstanding sales performance. In terms of revenue, the recognized construction projects include: Cathay He He in New Taipei City, Cathay Xi Jing in Taoyuan, and Cathay MOST+ in Taichung, in addition to unsold housing units from the previous year's completed projects. The total annual revenue amounted to approximately NT$13,081,640,000.

Assuming that inflation gradually stabilizes in 2025, and the monetary easing strategies of major countries become clearer, despite the fact that the global economy will be affected by unfavorable consumption and investment in the two major economies of China and the United States, economic growth for other regions is expected to remain similar to this year. According to forecasts by the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics and major economic research institutions, the domestic economic growth rate for 2025 is projected to be 3.42%. In the second half of 2024, following the Central Bank’s implementation of a seventh wave of credit controls, and the strict management of real estate credit limits and bank lending levels, consumers became more cautious. Although the number of investors decreased, rigid demand in the market remained. Given that government policies continue to encourage first-time homebuyers to enter the market, and the limited room for downward adjustment of housing

3

prices due to construction costs, along with the favorable prospects of Taiwan's stock market and economic development, the overall real estate market in 2025 is expected to experience a volatility contraction pattern (VCP) with both upward and downward market forces at play.

Looking ahead to 2025, we plan to launch a total of six projects across Taiwan, including in Wenshan, Taipei; Xinzhuang, New Taipei City; Zhonglu, Taoyuan; as well as in Taichung, Tainan, and Kaohsiung. The total project value will exceed NT$25 billion. Under the Central Bank's credit control policy, our company will adjust the pace of project launches based on market conditions, continue to increase land reserves through diversified development strategies, and steadily advance toward becoming a comprehensive developer.

The company will continue to strategically acquire land in prime areas and carefully select the best partners and vendors in order to provide consumers with exceptional housing options. Committed to sustainable development, we

aim to construct “Quality Lifetime Houses” for the community. The real estate group will actively pursue expansion and broaden its revenue landscape.

I'd like to express my deepest appreciation for your presence today.

I wish you good health and good luck, thank you!

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS� REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Cathay Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Cathay Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (the �Company�), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2024, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the �parent company only financial statements�).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2024, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagement of 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 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, 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 based on our audits and the report of other auditors.

Key Audit Matter

Key audit matter is the matter that, in our professional judgment, was of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. The matter was 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 the matter.

9

The key audit matter identified in the Company�s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 is as follows:

Valuation of Construction Land

The Company is engaged in engaged in property development and real estate transactions. The net realizable value of construction land may be affected by fluctuations in real estate market prices. Construction land is measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and the assessment of the net realizable value of construction land is based on the significant judgment of the management and accounting estimates. Therefore, we consider the valuation of construction land as a key audit matter for the year then ended December 31, 2024. For the relevant accounting policies, accounting estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and note disclosures, please refer to Notes 4, 5, and 9 of the Company�s parent company only financial statements.

Our audit procedures for the abovementioned key audit matters included the following:

  1. We obtained and assessed the reasonableness of the valuation methodology and data used by the management when evaluating construction land.

  2. We sampled and evaluated the reasonableness of the net realizable value assessment results of construction land as of the balance sheet date and confirmed that the construction land was measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Other Matter

Among the investments accounted for using equity method included in the Company�s parent company only financial statements, we did not audit the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 of Symphox Information Co., Ltd. and San Hsiung Fongshan Lalaport Co., Ltd. Therefore, in our expression of an opinion on the Company�s parent company only financial statement, those investments and share of profits are based on the audit report of other accountants. The investment accounted for using equity method audited by other accountants as of December 31, 2024 amounted to NT$591,938 thousand, representing 0.83% of the total assets. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the share of profits or losses from these investees amounted to NT$ (80,545) thousand, representing (4.09)% of the profit before income tax.

The Company�s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 were audited by other accountant, who issued an unmodified opinion with an other matter paragraph on March 14, 2024.

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 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 the 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 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.

10

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 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 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 parent company only 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 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.

  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 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 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 parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  6. Obtain sufficient and 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 audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

11

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.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine the matter that was of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024, and is therefore the key audit matter. We describe the matter 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� report are Shu-Wan Lin and Chih-Ming Shao.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS� REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Cathay Real Estate Development Co., Ltd.

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Cathay Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. (the �company�) and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the �Group�), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2024, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including material accounting policy information (collectively referred to as the �consolidated financial statements�).

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to the Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2024, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the year then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Financial Statement Audit and Attestation Engagements of 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 Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group 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 consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024. 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.

The key audit matter identified in the Group�s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 are stated as follows:

Valuation of Construction Land

The Group is engaged in property development and real estate transactions. The net realizable value of

19

construction land may be affected by fluctuations in real estate market prices. Construction land is measured at the lower of cost or net realizable value, and the assessment of the net realizable value of construction land is based on the significant judgment of the management and accounting estimates. Therefore, we consider the valuation of construction land as a key audit matter for the year then ended December 31, 2024. For the relevant accounting policies, accounting estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and note disclosures, please refer to Notes 4, 5, and 9 of the consolidated financial statements.

Our audit procedures for the abovementioned key audit matters included the following:

  1. We obtained and assessed the reasonableness of the valuation methodology and data used by the management when evaluating construction land.

  2. We sampled and evaluated the reasonableness of the net realizable value assessment results of construction land as of the balance sheet date and confirmed that the construction land was measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

Recognition of Construction Revenue

The Company's subsidiary engages in construction contracting activities, and its revenue is recognized based on the estimated percentage of completion and the total price of the construction contract. As the estimates are required to be made with reference to internal and external documents during the calculation of the percentage of completion of construction, the calculation of the percentage of completion is considered complex due to the internal and external information and the management�s estimation in the calcuation. Therefore, we considered the accuracy of construction revenue a key audit matter. For the relevant accounting policies, accounting estimates, assumptions, uncertainties and note disclosures, please refer to Notes 4, 5, and 19 of the consolidated financial statements.

Our audit procedures for the abovementioned key audit matter included the following:

  1. We obtained an understanding of and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls related to the estimation of the percentage of completion and the accuracy of construction revenue recognized.

  2. We evaluated and confirmed that the accounting policies on the estimation of the percentage of completion were consistently applied.

  3. We performed tests of the details of on-going construction contracts at the end of the year and confirmed the accuracy of construction revenue recognized.

Other Matter

Among the investments accounted for using equity method included in the Group�s consolidated financial statements, we did not audit the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 of Symphox Information Co., Ltd. and San Hsiung Fongshan Lalaport Co., Ltd. Therefore, in our expression of an opinion on the Group�s consolidated financial statements, those investments and share of profits are based on the audit report of other accountants. The investment accounted for using equity method audited by other accountants as of December 31, 2024 amounted to NT$591,938 thousand, representing 0.66% of the total assets. For the year ended December 31, 2024, the share of profits or losses from these investees amounted to NT$ (80,545) thousand, representing (3.89)% of the profit before income tax.

The Group�s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 were audited by other accountant, who issued an unmodified opinion with an other matter paragraph on March 14, 2024.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Cathay Real Estate Development

20

Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2024, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion with other matter paragraph.

The parent company only financial statements of Cathay Real Estate Development Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 were audited by other accountant, who issued an unmodified opinion with an other matter paragraph on March 14, 2024.

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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the 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 Group�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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

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

Auditors� 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 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 consolidated 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 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.

  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 Group�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

21

conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group�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 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 auditors� report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  1. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  2. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group 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.

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 the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2024 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� report are Shu-Wan Lin and Chih-Ming Shao.
