Chapter 1 Letter to Shareholders

I. 2020 Operating Results

(I) Results of the implementation of the business plan for 2020

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, 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.

(II) Budget Implementation

There was no budget implementation in 2020 due to undisclosed financial forecasting.

(III) Please refer to pages 136–145 for the analysis of financial revenue and profitability in 2020.

(IV) Research and Development Status

At this stage, the housing market is showing a recovery trend with the increasing consumer awareness and transparency of product information. Under the premise of stabilizing the core business, the Company is actively integrating digital transformation, creating value for products and services, and further deepening the brand effect. In the future development strategy, the Company will continue to advance cost control and improve organizational efficiency, regularly review the standard construction costs, and enhance the detailed classification of building materials and equipment to strengthen competitiveness; faced with home purchasing by the new generation of young people, the Company will leverage the advantages of planning, design, and layout to ensure quality on a comprehensive basis, and adopt a three-level quality control model to maintain its reputation among customers. In response to changes in sales methods and media types, the Company will work to create values for its products and services, and will be more active in brand management. On the 55th anniversary, the Company produced a brand image micro-film to communicate with different customer groups, and promoted it through current online media to deepen the image of the brand while achieve the benefits of word-of-mouth marketing. The Company has been committed to real estate research for a long time as well, publishing the Cathay Real Estate Index with the academic units. The Company publishes research results at the end of each season and provides market information, which has become one of the real estate information references with high reliability at home.

II. Outline of 2021 Business Plan

Looking ahead to the year of 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 returned their working capital to Taiwan to accelerate the rigid rate of domestic demand for properties, which has in turn helped bolster the domestic demand.

(I) Business Objectives, Expected Sales and the Reasons Thereof for 2020

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, and create a more profound brand effect. The Company keeps striving to be a comprehensive developer as our future development strategy. In the core business, in addition to control of the basic scheme reserve, we will acquire lands in more diverse ways, including joint venture development and urban renewal for business use, etc. In the aspect of land development, the Company will continue to increase the development models. Looking ahead to the upcoming year, in addition to stabilizing the reserve of land inventory, the Company will continue to participate in public urban renewal program, expand the development areas. As for the launch of new projects, the Company will set a higher target sales rate and increase the sales performance.

2

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. The Company's future development strategy will be developing towards a comprehensive developer with diversified development methods and diversified business operations. The Company will continue digital integration and transformation to improve work efficiency internally and improve service quality externally. Under the premise of enhancing the business, it will increase revenue-based assets and actively evaluate in investment in other new business activities to expand the development and business territory while creating higher profit margins.

The Company has achieved good sales in its new projects and construction sites under construction in 2020. The inventory has dropped to a historical low, so it has actively purchased land in the prime real estate to have more parcels of land in inventory. Therefore, it will actively launch new projects in 2021 while setting a higher sales target rate with the aim of increasing 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.

  • (II) Important Production & Sales Policies for 2020

1. Five years of in-depth development

In the first five years, the Company will be dedicated to the optimization of the organization and operating process, continue to improve and systematize its core business, and strive to increase land inventory and revenue.

2. Ten years of new horizons

Under the premise of a stable business, faced with the new generation of home buyers, the Company will not only improve construction technology and design strengths, implement overall quality, optimize customer services, develop the brand image to convey

3

the value but increase income-based assets, create stable revenue, and cultivate core talents. It will also attach importance to knowledge management and pass down its experience. With the continuous expansion of reinvestment in new bases, revenue and profits are gradually increasing. The entire group is working together to expand the comprehensive developer's business landscape.

III. Development Strategies

  • (I) Short-term Development Strategies

  • Strengthen brand value

  • Diversify land development strategies

  • Increase sales through planning practical products

  • Integrate marketing resources for digital transformation

  • Optimize customer services to maintain reputation

  • Expand diversified business deployment steadily

  • (II) Long-term Development Strategies

  • Diversify deployment to leverage comprehensive business opportunities

  • Plan sustainable, safe and energy-efficient buildings

  • Advance construction techniques and comprehensive quality

  • Improve community quality with sustainable sales services

  • Increase the growth of diversified business operations

IV. The Impact of the External Competition Environment, Regulatory Environment, and Macroeconomic Conditions

  • (I) External Competition Environment

In terms of market supply and demand, according to statistics from the Construction and Planning Agency, Ministry of the Interior, as of the third quarter of 2020, the total floor area of residential buildings nationwide with construction license obtained has increased by 8.8% compared with that in 2019, which has been growing for four consecutive years. In terms of land transaction volume, it has exceeded NT$300 billion for two consecutive years since 2019 with the highest and the second-highest performance in history, indicating that builders remain optimistic about the housing market, and the housing market is showing a pattern of recovery. The research in the quarterly report of Cathay Real Estate Index also shows that in 2020, the overall house price in the national pre-sale real estate market has increased with stable volume, number of projects and transactions was higher than 2019, and the housing market is recovering. On the whole, the current real estate market is gradually recovering and it is in the consolidation stage, and the overall trend is expected to continue. In the future, adjustment may be made based on factors, such as the development of the global COVID-19 pandemic, China-US trade war, market interest rates, capital levels, the government's housing market policies, market supply and demand, and the development of the cross-strait relations.

4

As for land supply, there is a narrow territory with a large population in the urban area of Taiwan, and the building land is sparse due to the limited land and decades of development of building industry, especially in the prosperous area, the land has almost been developed completely and the land price keeps rising; as citizens' awareness on property right are gradually increasing, the government tightens the policies of land redistribution and levy, it becomes more difficult to acquire lands.

(II) Regulatory Environment

1. Laws and regulations of urban planning

The Statute for Expediting Reconstruction of Urban Unsafe and Old Buildings has been amended and promulgated for implementation, including encouraging the expansion of the area in reconstruction plans, updating the application rewards, and protecting people's rights and interests. This has led to a significant increase in the number of dangerous old building reconstruction applications accepted by the county and city governments, which also accelerate up the reconstruction to improve the city landscape.

2. Other Laws and Regulations

In view of recent housing market price fluctuations and frequent resale of pre-sale orders, the Executive Yuan implemented the "Sound Real Estate Market Plan" in December 2020, in which the National Development Council joined hands with the Ministry of the Interior, the Ministry of Finance, the Central Bank, and the Financial Supervisory Commission to establish a unit across different ministries and departments to crack down on real estate speculation. The main direction is to amend the Equalization of Land Rights Act to accelerate the promotion of real price registration 2.0 to fully disclose the transaction information of the real estate market, manage pre-sale housing transactions, and restrict the transfer of pre-sale orders, so as to achieve the purpose of stabilizing the real estate market.

(III) Macroeconomic Conditions

In 2020, the number of buildings sold and transferred nationwide was 326,000, with an annual growth rate of 8.7%, a record high in the past seven years. The balance of building and residential loans also continued to rise. The overall transaction volume gradually has increased after it hit the bottom in 2016. The Central Bank’s interest rate has remained low since 2018, the consumers are also benefited by the low housing mortgage interest right, house buyers’ confidence has restored, and the overall real estate market has recovered and bounced back in 2020.

Looking ahead to 2021, in terms of the international situation, the current COVID-19 pandemic is still severe, but vaccine development has progressed, and many countries have implemented vaccine programs, which are expected to alleviate the pressure of the pandemic. However, the strength of the global economic recovery remains to be observed. As for the domestic situation, in addition to the need to be cautious to the development of the pandemic, the housing market policies implemented by the central government also need to be closely monitored. It is expected that the market will still be dominated by the rigid demand for

5

self-occupation in the following year with a stable trend in price and volume.

On the whole, the data in 2020 showed that the housing market were recovering, and the housing market performed better than in 2019, demonstrating an upward trend in prices with stable transaction volume. After the high price was adjusted in 2013 and hit the bottom in 2016, the current price is still showing a trend of consolidation at a high level while the demand side remains stable. The risk of price adjustment is already low, but whether the development of the pandemic will affect the housing market again will continue to be monitored subsequently.

The Company is positive about that the establishment, implementation and maintenance of the internal control system is the responsibility of the Board of Directors and Managers and has thus established the system. The purpose is to achieve various objectives in operation result and efficiency (including profitability, performance, and protection of assets and safety); to ensure the reliability, timeliness, transparency and regulatory compliance (including relevant laws and regulations) of reporting, as well as to provide reasonable assurance.

  • II. The internal control system is congenitally limited. Regardless of how perfect the design is, an effective internal control system can only provide reasonable assurance for the achievement of the above three objectives; meanwhile, due to changes in the environment and conditions, the effectiveness of the internal control system may be changed. However, the Company’s internal control system has a self-supervision mechanism. Once the deficiency is recognized, the Company will take corrective actions.

  • III. The Company judges whether the design and implementation of the internal control system are effective based on the judgment items against the effectiveness of the internal control system as stipulated in the Criteria for Establishment of Internal Control System of Public Companies (hereinafter referred to as Criteria). The criteria adopted by the Regulations identify 5 components of internal control based on the process of management control: 1. control environment; 2. risk assessment; 3. control activities; 4. information and communication; and 5. monitoring operations. Each constituent element includes a number of categories. Please refer to the provisions of the Criteria for the above items.

  • IV. The Company has already adopted the aforementioned ICS judgment items to evaluate the effectiveness of ICS design and implementation.

  • V. Based on the results of the determination in the preceding paragraph, the Company is of the opinion that, as of December 31, 2020, the internal control system (including the supervision and management of subsidiaries), including the design and implementation of the internal control system relating to the effectiveness and efficiency of the operations, reliability, timeliness, and transparency of reporting, and compliance with applicable laws and regulations, is effective and can reasonably assure the achievement of the foregoing goals.

  • VI. This Statement will become the main content of the Company’s annual report and prospectus, and will be made public. The falsehood, concealment or other illegality

92

in the above content made public will entail legal liability under Articles 20, 32, 171 and 174 of the Securities and Exchange Law.

  • VII. This statement was passed by the Board of Directors in the meeting held on March 18, 2021. Of the nine directors present, none of them expressed dissenting opinions, and all of them approved the content of this statement.

(II) Industry Overview

1. Current state and development of the industry

In recent years, Taiwan’s housing market has caused public grievances due to the rapid rise in housing prices. Under the government’s implementation of a series of housing policies (luxury tax, real price registration, and Integrated Housing and Land Tax), short-term investors in the real estate market have gradually withdrawn from the market and the buyers for self occupation purposes have gradually dominated the market. In the absence of market confidence, the number of buildings transferred nationwide in 2016 hit a record low, and the overall real estate market entered an adjustment period. However, after 2017, although the housing market is only supported by the demand for self-occupation, the sellers seek to close deals and revise prices at the same time. Housing prices are no longer too high to afford. The number of domestic buildings sold and transferred begun to increase year by year, and the balance of building and residential loans has been increased year by year. In 2020, due to the raging of the global pandemic, the boarder blockade measures resulted in abundant domestic hot money and a wave of buying momentum. The number of domestic buildings sold and transferred reached more than 320,000, an annual increase of 8.7%, setting a new high over the past seven years.

On the supply and demand side of the overall housing market: On the supply side, since the overall housing market in 2020 was better than in 2019, the industry’s confidence in launching new projects increased. It is expected that the momentum in 2020 will continue in 2021 with stable increase in supply of new projects. As for the demand side, the rigid demand accompanied by a large amount of hot money led to a wave of housing boom last year. However, the current COVID-19 pandemic is still severe, and the government implemented a sound housing market policy at the end of last year, some investors turned to a wait-and-see approach. It is expected that the market will continue to be supported by home buyers for self-occupation purposes in 2021, and the market will be closely linked with the global pandemic situation. On the whole, the real estate market in 2021 will continue the trend of 2020, showing an upward trend in prices with stable transaction volume, while closely linked to the trend of the pandemic. If the pandemic is gradually alleviated in the future, it may lead to a new wave of hot money into the housing market.

More than NT$3 million of budget is invested in the preparation every year, and it has become one of the important sources of reference of domestic real estate information. In terms of R&D of product technology, we have invested lots of manpower and funds in the fields of planning, design, building materials and equipment. Therefore, the projects developed by the Company can be favored by customers and sold well in a short period of time. In recent years, with the purpose of breaking through design thinking, we also introduced foreign design teams to enable the Company's products to be more competitive.

3. Future supply & demand and growth of the market

According to the quarterly research of Cathay Real Estate Index, the trend of the Cathay Real Estate Index in 2020 indicated that the prices of the national housing market recorded an increase in prices and transaction volume, and the housing market was recovering, with better overall performance as compared with 2019. Looking ahead to the market trend in 2021, it should be able to continue the housing market boom in 2020, showing a steady trend in both prices and transaction volume, but the global pandemic situation will be an indicator that requires continued attention.

On the supply and demand side of the real estate market, last year’s transaction volume was better than that in 2019, and the industry’s confidence in launching new projects increased. It is expected that the increase in supply of new projects will be stable in 2021. On the demand side, the rigid demand accompanied by a large amount of hot money led to a wave of housing boom last year, and the government promulgated a sound housing market policy at the end of last year in an attempt to curb investment; thus, it is expected that the market will continue to be supported by home buyers for self-occupation purposes in 2021.

Overall, this year's real estate growth is affected by the global pandemic situation and the domestic government's sound housing market policy. However, with the support of rigid demand, the supply and demand are expected to remain stable. The important factors affecting the operation of the real estate market this year are summarized as follows:

(1) International situation

Last year, the border blockade measures were implemented due to the raging of COVID-19, and the return of overseas Taiwanese business capital filled the domestic market with abundant hot money, so there was a wave of buying momentum in the second half of the year. Looking ahead to this year, although the situation is still uncertain, positive news, such as research and development of vaccines, is gradually released, and the pandemic is expected to be gradually mitigated, which is expected to boost the housing market.

(2) Policy

At the end of last year, the government promulgated a sound housing market policy, mainly for accelerating the promotion of "real price registration 2.0", strengthening the transparency of housing market information, and curbing improper property speculation in the pre-sale market, without affecting home buyers for self-occupation purposes. The interest rates are still low at this stage. Thus, it is expected that the market will continue to be supported by home buyers for self-occupation purposes in 2021.

121

  • (3) Economic growth rate

The Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics estimates that the economic growth rate in 2021 will be 4.64%.

  • (4) Interest rate and price

The interest rate will remain low. In the term of price, the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics estimates that the Consumer Price Index (CPI) in 2021 will increase by 1%–1.5%.

  1. Competitive Niches

  2. (1) Excellent brand image

  3. (2) Steady financial situation

  4. (3) Professional R&D and design

  5. (4) Solid engineering construction

  6. (5) Permanent after-sales service

  7. Favorable and Unfavorable Factors in the Long Term and Strategies

  8. (1) Favorable Factors

  9. a. The current interest rate is still low, and under the mindset of “land bringing wealth” and the expected price increase, real estate is still a general investment and hedging tool.

  10. b. In recent years, the government has positively promoted various economic revitalization programs, major constructions, and Taiwanese investment return from China to drive industrial development and provide many opportunities for construction, which will stimulate the real estate market.

  11. (2) Unfavorable Factors

  12. a. With the decreased land resources and increased land price, the land acquisition costs are increased in Great Taipei Essence Zone.

  13. b. The high demand arising from the launch of major construction projects and the return of overseas Taiwanese business capital to build factories leads to a rise in prices of raw materials and wages, which increases construction costs.

  14. c. There are still many international uncertainties, including the pandemic, the subsequent development of the cross-strait relations, and the progress of the US-China trade negotiations, which may affect the future direction of the housing market.

  15. (3) Countermeasures

  16. a. Evaluate development projects prudently and strengthen product planning to increase added value and to reduce the impact of increasing costs.

  17. b. In addition to the downtown essence zone, the potential suburb lands shall be actively evaluated and purchased and the diversified land development methods shall be expanded, such as joint construction or urban renewal business.

122

  - c. Make effective use of the advantages of the Group’s value chain and properly deploy new business investments to strengthen diversified operations and achieve synergy.

(III) Supply Status of Main Materials

The main raw materials of the Company are land. In addition to the methods of obtaining land through purchasing National Property Administration and other government units, the raw materials of land are mainly obtained through the introduction of land intermediators or through joint construction with landlords. In addition, project evaluations are carried out for relevant development methods, such as urban renewal, joint development with MRT systems, state-owned land superficies right setting, and BOT, to increase the scale of the Company's development sources.

At present, in consideration of acquisition of raw materials of land, the Company mainly purchases the urban high-quality sections and the land in rezoning areas, supplemented by the land with complete living functions in the suburbs. At present, in

124

addition to actively participating in the public auction of land by government units, the Company learns about the location, property rights and quantity of relevant land materials in specific areas through the open space survey method, and actively requests the land intermediators for broking to obtain raw materials of land in due course for the Company's operations.

IV. Environmental Protection Expenditure

  • (I) The Company is in the construction investment industry but not a building company. We entrust the professional engineering companies in the building industry to be responsible for the building and construction of the houses and do not cause immediate and direct environmental protection problems. The construction industry is prone to producing dust, waste soil and noise which only impact the environment near the construction site during the construction period, and does not cause material pollution to the ecology like the manufacturing industry. Nonetheless, the Company still attaches great importance to environmental protection, and strongly urges the contractors to pay more attention to the waste soil dumping according to the management method of the building management unit of the government and manages various matters such as waste disposal, construction time and volume control and strictly takes site safety and health measures to meet standards.

  • (II) The Company adheres to the care of environmental protection work and implements the goal of environment beautifying and prosperity promotion. In terms of specific actions, the Company establishes the dedicated service units to assist in beautifying and managing the community environment.

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.

148

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 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 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 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, Note 5 and Note 6.

149

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:

150

  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 internal control of the Company.

  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 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

151

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.

The final phase amendments mainly relate to the effects of the interest rate benchmark reform on the companies’ financial statements:

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

The amendments address the inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures , in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is contributed to an associate or a joint venture. IAS 28 restricts gains and losses arising from contributions of non-monetary assets to an associate or a joint venture to the extent of the interest attributable to the other equity holders in the associate or joint ventures. IFRS 10 requires full profit or loss recognition on the loss of control of the subsidiary. IAS 28 was amended so that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized in full.

IFRS 10 was also amended so that the gains or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that does not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.

  • B. IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”

IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects (including recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements). The core of IFRS 17 is the General (building block) Model, under this model, on initial recognition, an entity shall measure a group of insurance contracts at the total of the fulfilment cash flows and the contractual service margin. The fulfilment cash flows comprise of the following:

  • a. estimates of future cash flows;

  • b. Discount rate: an adjustment to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to the future cash flows, to the extent that the financial risks are not included in the estimates of the future cash flows; and

  • c. a risk adjustment for non-financial risk.

The carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts at the end of each reporting period shall be the sum of the liability for remaining coverage and the liability for incurred claims.

Other than the General Model, the standard also provides a specific adaptation for contracts with:

  • a. direct participation features (the Variable Fee Approach);

  • b. simplified approach (Premium Allocation Approach) mainly for short-duration contracts.

160

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

IFRS 17 was issued in May 2017 and it was amended in June 2020. The amendments include deferral of the date of initial application of IFRS 17 by two years to annual beginning on or after 1 January 2023 (from the original effective date of 1 January 2021); provide additional transition reliefs; simplify some requirements to reduce the costs of applying IFRS 17 and revise some requirements to make the results easier to explain.

  • C. Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current - Amendments to IAS 1

These are the amendments to paragraphs 69-76 of IAS 1 Presentation of Financial statements and the amended paragraphs related to the classification of liabilities as current or non-current.

Updating a Reference to the Conceptual Framework (Amendments to IFRS 3) The amendments updated IFRS 3 by replacing a reference to an old version of the Conceptual Framework for Financial Reporting with a reference to the latest version, which was issued in March 2018. The amendments also added an exception to the recognition principle of IFRS 3 to avoid the issue of potential “day 2” gains or losses arising for liabilities and contingent liabilities. Besides, the amendments clarify existing guidance in IFRS 3 for contingent assets that would not be affected by replacing the reference to the Conceptual Framework.

  • b. Property, Plant and Equipment: Proceeds before Intended Use (Amendments to IAS 16)

The amendments prohibit a company from deducting from the cost of property, plant and equipment amounts received from selling items produced while the company is preparing the asset for its intended use. Instead, a company will recognize such sales proceeds and related cost in profit or loss.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(1) Statement of compliance

The parent company only financial statements of the Company for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (“the Regulations”).

(2) Basis of preparation

The Company prepares parent company only financial reports based on the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. According to the provisions of Article 21, the profit or loss during the period and other comprehensive income presented in parent company only financial reports shall be the same as the allocations of profit or loss during the period and of other comprehensive income attributable to owners of the parent presented in the financial reports prepared on a consolidated basis, and the owners' equity presented in the parent company only financial reports shall be the same as the equity attributable to owners of the parent presented in the financial reports prepared on a consolidated basis. Therefore, the investment of subsidiaries is expressed as “investment using the equity method” and adjusted for necessary evaluation.

The parent company only financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The parent company only financial statements are expressed in thousands of New Taiwan Dollars (“NT$”) unless otherwise stated.

(3) Foreign currency transactions

The Company’s parent company only financial statements are presented in NT$, which is also the Company’s functional currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Company entities at their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency closing rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.

163

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

All exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items are taken to profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for the following:

  • A. Exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings for an acquisition of a qualifying asset to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs are included in the borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalization.

  • B. Foreign currency items within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments are accounted for based on the accounting policy for financial instruments.

  • C. Exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of a reporting entity’s net investment in a foreign operation is recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(4) Translation of financial statements in foreign currency

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into NT$ at the closing rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their income and expenses are translated at an average rate for the period. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income. On the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation, recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the separate component of equity, is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the gain or loss on disposal is recognized. The following are accounted for as disposals even if an interest in the foreign operation is retained by the Company: the loss of control over a foreign operation, the loss of significant influence over a foreign operation, or the loss of joint control over a foreign operation.

On the partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation that does not result in a loss of control, the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is re-attributed to the non-controlling interests in that foreign operation. In partial disposal of an associate or jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation that does not result in a loss of significant influence or joint control, only the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

164

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

Any goodwill and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and expressed in its functional currency.

(5) Current and non-current distinction

The following asset is classified as current. All other assets are classified as non-current:

  • A. The Company expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle

  • B. The Company holds the asset primarily for trading

  • C. The Company expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period

  • D. The asset is cash or cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

The following liability is classified as current. All other liabilities are classified as non-current:

  • A. The Company expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle

  • B. The Company holds the liability primarily for trading

  • C. The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period

  • D. The Company does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification

(6) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value (including time deposits with maturing of less than 12 months).

(7) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Company becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

165

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

Financial assets and financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus or minus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

  • A. Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement

The Company accounts for regular way purchase or sales of financial assets on the trade date.

The Company classified financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income based on both:

  • a. the Company’s business model for managing the financial assets and

  • b. the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met and presented as notes receivable, accounts receivable, financial assets measured at amortized cost and other receivables etc., on balance sheet as at the reporting date:

  • a. the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets to collect contractual cash flows and

  • b. the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost (the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount and adjusted for any loss allowance) and is not part of a hedging relationship. A gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized, through the amortization process or to recognize the impairment gains or losses.

Interest revenue is calculated by using the effective interest method. This is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for:

  • a. purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets. For those financial assets, the Company applies the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from initial recognition.

166

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

  • b. financial assets that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets but subsequently have become credit-impaired financial assets. For those financial assets, the Company applies the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset in subsequent reporting periods.

Financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:

  • a. the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and

  • b. the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Recognition of gain or loss on a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are described as below:

  • a. A gain or loss on a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income should be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, until the financial asset is derecognized or reclassified.

  • b. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.

  • c. Interest revenue calculated by using the effective interest method (effective interest rate times the carrying amount of the financial asset) or the method stated below should be recognized in profit or loss.

  • i. For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Company applies the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.

  • ii. For financial assets that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets but subsequently become credit-impaired financial assets, the Company applies the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset in subsequent reporting periods.

Besides, for certain equity investments within the scope of IFRS 9 that is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies, the Company made an irrevocable election to present the changes of the fair value in other comprehensive income at initial recognition. Amounts presented in other comprehensive income shall not be subsequently transferred to profit or loss (when disposal of such equity instrument, its cumulated amount included in other components of

167

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

equity is transferred directly to the retained earnings) and these investments should be presented as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income on the balance sheet. Dividends on such investment are recognized in profit or loss unless the dividends clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of investment.

B. Impairment of financial assets

The Company recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial asset measured at amortized cost. The loss allowance on debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income and not reduce the carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

The Company measures expected credit losses of a financial instrument in a way that reflects:

  • a. an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;

  • b. the time value of money; and

  • c. reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

The loss allowance is measured as follows:

  • a. At an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses: the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition or the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. In addition, the Company measures the loss allowance for a financial asset at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that condition is no longer met.

  • b. At an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses: the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition or financial asset that is purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset.

  • c. For trade receivables or contract assets arising from transactions within the scope of IFRS 15, the Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

  • d. For lease receivables arising from transactions within the scope of IFRS 16, The Company measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

168

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

At each reporting date, the Company needs to assess whether the credit risk on a financial asset has been increased significantly since initial recognition by comparing the risk of a default occurring at the reporting date and the risk of default occurring at initial recognition. Please refer to Note 12 for further details on credit risk.

  • C. Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized when:

  • a. The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired

  • b. The Company has transferred the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset have been transferred

  • c. The Company has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received or receivable including any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit or loss.

  • D. Financial liabilities and equity

Classification between liabilities or equity

The Company classifies the instrument issued as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability, and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all of its liabilities. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity (net of any related income tax benefit) to the extent they are incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction that otherwise would have been avoided.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

169

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include interest bearing loans and borrowings that are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate method after initial recognition. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through amortization process of the effective interest rate method.

Amortized cost is calculated by considering any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or transaction costs.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expired.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor), such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

  • E. Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(8) Fair value

A fair value measurement assumes that the asset or liability is exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability at the measurement date under current market conditions. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • A. in the principal market for the asset or liability; or

  • B. in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

170

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

The main or the most advantageous market must enter by the Company to conduct transaction.

An entity shall measure the fair value of an asset or a liability using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, if market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset considers a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Company adopts the appropriate valuation technique(s) to use when measuring fair value. The valuation technique(s) used should maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize unobservable inputs.

(9) Inventories

Inventories, including construction land, construction in progress and building and land for sale, are stated at the cost in the basis of the account. The construction land transfer to property under construction during actively developed and capitalize financial cost during actively developed or construction period.

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value item by item. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

The Company's contract incremental cost is the commission generated by the acquisition of the presold house contract. The customer's signing of the presold contract has not fulfilled the performance obligation because the goods promised to have not been transferred to the customer. According IFRS 15, the sales commission is the incremental cost of acquisition the presold house contract. When the house is transferred to the customer and fulfill the performance obligation, the incremental cost of obtaining the contract is be amortized.

Rendering of services is accounted in accordance with IFRS 15 but not within the scoping of inventories.

(10) Investments accounted for using the equity method

The Company's investment in subsidiaries is based on the provisions of Article 21 of the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and is expressed in the equity method of investment and adjusted as necessary. The profit or loss

171

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

during the period and other comprehensive income presented in the parent company only financial reports shall be the same as the allocations of profit or loss during the period and of other comprehensive income attributable to owners of the parent presented in the financial reports prepared on a consolidated basis, and the owners' equity presented in the parent company only financial reports shall be the same as the equity attributable to owners of the parent presented in the financial reports prepared on a consolidated basis. These adjustments mainly consider the difference raised from the accounting of investment subsidiaries in accordance with IFRS No.10 and the applicable IFRS at different levels of parent company only reporting. These adjustments are recognized in the following subjects: Investments accounted for using the equity method, share of profit of associates and joint ventures, Share of other comprehensive income of associates and joint ventures. The Company's investment in related companies using equity method excluding the assets held for sale. The company is an associates company if it has significant influence. A joint venture is a type of joint arrangement whereby the parties that have joint control of the arrangement have rights to the net assets of the joint venture.

Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Company’s share of net assets of the associate. After the interest in the associate is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Company has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Company and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Company’s related interest in the associate.

When changes in the net assets of an associate occur and not those that are recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income and do not affects the Company’s percentage of ownership interests in the associate, the Company recognizes such changes in equity based on its percentage of ownership interests. The resulting capital surplus recognized will be reclassified to profit or loss at the time of disposing the associate on a prorate basis.

When the associate issues new stock, and the Company’s interest in an associate is reduced or increased as the Company fails to acquire shares newly issued in the associate proportionately to its original ownership interest, the increase or decrease in the interest in the associate is recognized in additional paid in capital and investment in associate. When the interest in the associate is reduced, the cumulative amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss or other appropriate items. The aforementioned capital surplus recognized is reclassified to profit or loss on a prorate basis when the Company disposes of the associate.

172

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Company. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Company.

The Company determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired in accordance with IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures . If this is the case the Company calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in the ‘share of profit or loss of an associate’ in the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. In determining the value in use of the investment, the Company estimates:

  • A. Its share of the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the associate, including the cash flows from the operations of the associate and the proceeds on the ultimate disposal of the investment.

  • B. The present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from dividends to be received from the investment and from its ultimate disposal.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Company measures and recognizes any retaining investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss. The Company recognizes its interest in the jointly controlled entities using the equity method continuously.

(11) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located and borrowing costs for construction in progress if the recognition criteria are met. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Company recognized such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized in accordance with the derecognition provisions of IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment. When a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in gain or loss as incurred.

173

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives of the following assets:

Buildings: 5~50 years Leased assets: 5 years

Leasehold improvements: The shorter of lease terms or economic useful lives Other equipment:3~10 years

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

(12) Investment property

The Company’s owned investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, other than those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale (or are included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) in accordance with IFRS 5 Noncurrent Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations , investment properties are measured using the cost model in accordance with the requirements of IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment for that model. If investment properties are held by a lessee as right-of-use assets and is not held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5, investment properties are measured in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 16.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives of the following assets:

Buildings 4~50 years

Investment properties are derecognized when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss in the period of derecognition.

The Company transfers to or from investment properties when there is a change in use for these assets.

Properties are transferred to or from investment properties when the properties meet, or cease to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use.

174

(13) Leases

The Company assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, the Company assesses whether, throughout the period of use, has both of the following:

  • A. the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset; and

  • B. the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

For a contract that is, or contains, a lease, the Company accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract. For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate standalone price of the non-lease components. The relative stand-alone price of lease and non-lease components shall be determined on the basis of the price received by the lessor, or a similar supplier, would charge the Company for that component, or a similar component, separately. If an observable stand-alone price is not readily available, The Company estimates the standalone price, maximizing the use of observable information.

For the rent concession arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic, the Company elected not to assess whether it is a lease modification but accounted it as a variable lease payment. And this practical expedient has been applied to all eligible rent concessions.

Company as a lessee

Except for leases that meet and elect short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, the Company recognizes right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases which the Company is the lessee of those lease contracts.

At the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Company uses its incremental borrowing rate. At the commencement date, the lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date:

175

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

  • A. fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

  • B. variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • C. amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

  • D. the exercise price of a purchase option if the Company is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

  • E. payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

After the commencement date, the Company measures the lease liability on an amortized cost basis, which increases the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability by using an effective interest method; and reduces the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

At the commencement date, the Company measures the right-of-use asset at cost. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprises:

  • A. the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

  • B. any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;

  • C. any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and

  • D. an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.

For subsequent measurement of the right-of-use asset, the Company measures the right-ofuse asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. That is, the Company measures the right-of-use applying a cost model.

If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Company by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Company will exercise a purchase option, the Company depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the Company depreciates the rightof-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-of-use asset or the end of the lease term.

The Company applies IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” to determine whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified.

Except for those leases that the Company accounted for as short-term leases or leases of lowvalue assets, the Company presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet and separately presents lease-related interest expense and depreciation charge in the income statement.

176

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, the Company elects to recognize the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis.

Company as a lessor

At inception of a contract, the Company classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. At the commencement date, the Company recognizes assets held under a finance lease in its balance sheet and present them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.

For a contract that contains lease components and non-lease components, the Company allocates the consideration in the contract applying IFRS 15.

The Company recognizes lease payments from operating leases as rental income on either a straight-line basis or another systematic basis. Variable lease payments for operating leases that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as rental income when incurred.

(14) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in profit or loss for the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at the end of each financial year. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

177

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

Computer software

The cost of computer software is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life (3 years).

(15) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset in the scope of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Company estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cashgenerating unit’s (“CGU”) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Company estimates the asset’s or cashgenerating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been an increase in the estimated service potential of an asset which in turn increases the recoverable amount. However, the reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

178

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

An impairment loss of continuing operations or a reversal of such impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(16) Revenue recognition

The Company’s revenue arising from contracts with customers mainly includes sale of buildings and land. The accounting policies for the Company’s types of revenue are explained as follows:

Construction income

The Company entrusts construction companies in construction and planning of public housing is recognized as sales revenue in accordance with the IFRS 15 about the regulation of sales of goods. Therefore, the Company recognize profit and loss when the ownership transferred.

Before the recognition of the income, the down payment and installment received for the sale of the premises are recognized as contract liabilities in the current liabilities of the balance sheet.

(17) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interests and other costs that an entity incurs relating to the borrowing of funds.

(18) Retirement benefits plans

All regular employees of the Company are entitled to a pension plan that is managed by an independently administered pension fund committee. Fund assets are deposited under the committee’s name in the specific bank account and hence, not associated with the Company. Therefore, fund assets are not included in the Company’s parent company only financial statements.

For the defined contribution plan, the Company will make a monthly contribution of no less than 6% of the monthly wages of the employee’s subject to the plan. The Company recognizes expenses for the defined contribution plan in the period in which the contribution becomes due.

179

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

Post-employment benefit plan that is classified as a defined benefit plan uses the Projected Unit Credit Method to measure its obligations and costs based on actuarial assumptions. Remeasurements, comprising of the effect of the actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets, excluding net interest, are recognized as other comprehensive income with a corresponding debit or credit to other equity in the period in which they occur. Past service costs are recognized in profit or loss on the earlier of:

  • A. the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and

  • B. the date that the Company recognizes restructuring-related costs or termination benefits costs

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset, both as determined at the start of the annual reporting period, taking account of any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period because of contribution and benefit payment.

(19) Income taxes

Income tax expense (income) is the aggregate amount included in the determination of profit or loss for the period in respect of current tax and deferred tax.

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current income tax relating to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss.

The income tax for undistributed earnings is recognized as income tax expense in the subsequent year when the distribution proposal is approved by the shareholders’ meeting.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

180

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

  • A. Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

  • B. In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except:

  • A. Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

  • B. In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the way the Company expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized accordingly.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

181

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

(20) Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at acquisition date fair value. For each business combination, the acquirer measures any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and are classified under administrative expenses.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. However, if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured as the amount of the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the non-controlling interest over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If this aggregate is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognized in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Company’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination, irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated represents the lowest level within the Company at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purpose and is not larger than an operating segment before aggregation.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative recoverable amounts of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the Company’s parent company only financial statements requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumption and estimate could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

(1) Judgement

In the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

Operating lease commitment-Company as the lessor

The Company has signed real estate leases for investment property portfolios. Based on the assessment of its agreed terms, the Company still retains the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and treats them as operating leases.

(2) Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

A. Fair value of financial instruments

Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including the income approach (for example the discounted cash flows model) or market approach. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of the financial instruments. Please refer to Note 12 for more details.

B. Impairment of non-financial assets

An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on the price that would be

183

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date less incremental costs that would be directly attributable to the disposal of the asset or cash generating unit. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The cash flows projections are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Company is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the cash generating unit being tested. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

C. Retirement benefits plans

The cost of retirement employment benefit and the present value of the pension obligation under defined benefit pension plans are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Please refer to Note 6 for more details.

D. Income tax

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Company establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective counties in which it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective Company’s domicile.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all carry forward of unused tax losses and unused tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available or there are sufficient taxable temporary differences against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits or deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The amount of deferred tax assets determined to be recognized is based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits and taxable temporary differences together with future tax planning strategies. As of December 31, 2020, the deferred income tax assets that the Company has not recognize, please refer to Note 6 for more details.

184

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

E. Inventory evaluation

The Company must use the judgment and estimate to determine the net realizable value of the inventory at the balance sheet date, as the inventories are measured at the lower of the cost and the net realizable value. The Company assesses the amount of inventory at the balance sheet date due to market changes or no market sales value and reduces the inventory cost to the net realizable value. This inventory evaluation is mainly based on the product demand in the specific period in the future, so it may cause significant changes. Please refer to Note 6 for more details.

F. Accounts receivables-estimation of impairment loss

The Company estimates the impairment loss of accounts receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. The credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due under the contract (carrying amount) and the cash flows that expects to receive (evaluate forward looking information). However, as the impact from the discounting of short-term receivables is not material, the credit loss is measured by the undiscounted cash flows. Where the actual future cash flows are lower than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. Please refer to Note 6 for more details.

With regard to utilization of the pension fund, the minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statement shall not be less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. Treasury Funds can be used to cover the deficits after the approval of the competent authority. As the Company does not participate in the operation and management of the pension fund, no disclosure on the fair value of the plan assets categorized in different classes could be made in accordance with paragraph 142 of IAS 19.

(2) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Company’s principal financial risk management objective is to manage the market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk related to its operating activates. The Company identifies measures and manages the above-mentioned risks based on the Company’s policy and risk appetite.

223

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

The Company has established appropriate policies, procedures and internal controls for financial risk management. Before entering into significant transactions, due approval process by the board of directors and audit committee must be carried out based on related protocols and internal control procedures. The Company consistently complies with its financial risk management policies.

(3) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of the changes in market price. Market risk comprises currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk (such as equity instrument).

In practice, it is rarely the case that a single risk variable will change independently from other risk variable, and there are usually interdependencies between risk variables. However, the sensitivity analysis disclosed below does not consider the interdependencies between risk variables.

Foreign currency risk

The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Company’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Furthermore, as net investments in foreign subsidiaries are for strategic purposes, they are not hedged by the Company.

The Company mainly engaged in various business activities in Taiwan, and the foreign currency held is not significant. Therefore, the Company’s risk due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is not significant.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Company’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Company’s investments with bank borrowings with variable interest rates.

The interest rate sensitivity analysis is performed on items exposed to interest rate risk as at the end of the reporting period, including investments and borrowings with variable interest rates and interest rate swaps. At the reporting date, a change of 10 basis points of interest rate in a reporting period could cause the profit to decrease/increase by NT$8,029 thousand and NT$7,400 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

224

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

Equity price risk

The Company’s listed and unlisted equity securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. The Company’s listed and unlisted equity securities are classified under held for financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Company manages the equity price risk through diversification and placing limits on individual and total equity instruments. Reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the Company’s senior management on a regular basis. The Company’s Board of Directors reviews and approves all equity investment decisions.

(4) Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a contract, leading to a financial loss. The Company is exposed to credit risk from operating activities (primarily for accounts receivable and notes receivable) and from its financing activities, including bank deposits and other financial instruments.

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Company’s established policy, procedures and control relating to credit risk management. Credit limits are established for all counter parties based on their financial position, rating from credit rating agencies, historical experience, prevailing economic condition and the Company’s internal rating criteria etc. Certain counter parties’ credit risk will also be managed by taking credit enhancing procedures, such as requesting for prepayment or insurance.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, accounts receivable from top ten customers represented low percentage of the total accounts receivable of the Company. The credit concentration risk of other accounts receivable is insignificant.

Credit risk from balances with banks, fixed income securities and other financial instruments is managed by the Company’s treasury department in accordance with the Company’s policy. The Company only transacts with counterparties approved by the internal control procedures, which are banks and financial institutions, companies and government entities with good credit rating and no material default risk. Therefore, there is no significant credit risk for these counterparties.

(7) Fair values of financial instruments

  • A. The methods and assumptions applied in determining the fair value of financial instruments:

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

  • a. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.

  • b. For financial assets and liabilities traded in an active market with standard terms and conditions, their fair value is determined based on market quotation price (including listed equity securities and bonds) at the reporting date.

  • c. Equity instruments that are not actively traded in the market (including shares of publicly issued companies in an inactive market and shares of undisclosed companies) are estimated by market method and are derived from market transactions of the same or comparable company equity instruments. The fair value is derived from the price and other relevant information (such as lack of liquidity discount factor, similar company stock price-to-earnings ratio, similar company's stock price-to-equity ratio).

227

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

  • B. Fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost

The carrying amount of the Company’s financial instruments measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and other current liabilities) measured at amortized cost approximate their fair value.

(8) Fair value measurement hierarchy

  • A. Fair value measurement hierarchy

All asset and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. Level 1, 2 and 3 inputs are described as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Company determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.

  • B. Fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s assets and liabilities

The Company does not have assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Fair value measurement hierarchy of the Company’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

As of December 31, 2020

Financial assets:

V. Consolidated Financial Report Audited and Certified by CPAs in the Most Recent Year

CATHAY REAL ESTATE DEVELOPMENT CO., LTD.

AND SUBSIDIARIES

Consolidated Financial Statements

For the Years Ended December 31, 2020 And 2019

Report of Independent Auditors

The reader is advised that these consolidated financial statements have been prepared originally in Chinese. In the event of a conflict between these financial statements and the original Chinese version or difference in interpretation between the two versions, the Chinese language financial statements shall prevail.

268

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.

269

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).

270

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:

271

  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 internal control of the Company and its subsidiaries.

  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 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

272

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.

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

  • A. Interest Rate Benchmark Reform - Phase 2 (Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS 39, IFRS 7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16)

The final phase amendments mainly relate to the effects of the interest rate benchmark reform on the companies’ financial statements:

  • a. A company will not have to derecognize or adjust the carrying amount of financial instruments for changes to contractual cash flows as required by the reform, but will instead update the effective interest rate to reflect the change to the alternative benchmark rate;

  • b. A company will not have to discontinue its hedge accounting solely because it makes changes required by the reform, if the hedge meets other hedge accounting criteria; and

  • c. A company will be required to disclose information about new risks arising from the reform and how it manages the transition to alternative benchmark rates.

The abovementioned amendments that are applicable for annual periods beginning on or after January 1, 2021 have no material impact on the Group.

  • (3) Standards or interpretations issued, revised or amended, by IASB which are not endorsed by FSC, and not yet adopted by the Group as at the end of the reporting period are listed below.

  • A. IFRS 10“Consolidated Financial Statements” and IAS 28“Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures” - Sale or Contribution of Assets between an Investor and its Associate or Joint Ventures

280

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

The amendments address the inconsistency between the requirements in IFRS 10 Consolidated Financial Statements and IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures , in dealing with the loss of control of a subsidiary that is contributed to an associate or a joint venture. IAS 28 restricts gains and losses arising from contributions of non-monetary assets to an associate or a joint venture to the extent of the interest attributable to the other equity holders in the associate or joint ventures. IFRS 10 requires full profit or loss recognition on the loss of control of the subsidiary. IAS 28 was amended so that the gain or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of assets that constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized in full.

IFRS 10 was also amended so that the gains or loss resulting from the sale or contribution of a subsidiary that does not constitute a business as defined in IFRS 3 between an investor and its associate or joint venture is recognized only to the extent of the unrelated investors’ interests in the associate or joint venture.

  • B. IFRS 17 “Insurance Contracts”

IFRS 17 provides a comprehensive model for insurance contracts, covering all relevant accounting aspects (including recognition, measurement, presentation and disclosure requirements). The core of IFRS 17 is the General (building block) Model, under this model, on initial recognition, an entity shall measure a group of insurance contracts at the total of the fulfilment cash flows and the contractual service margin. The fulfilment cash flows comprise of the following:

  • a. estimates of future cash flows;

  • b. Discount rate: an adjustment to reflect the time value of money and the financial risks related to the future cash flows, to the extent that the financial risks are not included in the estimates of the future cash flows; and

  • c. a risk adjustment for non-financial risk.

The carrying amount of a group of insurance contracts at the end of each reporting period shall be the sum of the liability for remaining coverage and the liability for incurred claims.

Other than the General Model, the standard also provides a specific adaptation for contracts with:

  • a. direct participation features (the Variable Fee Approach);

  • b. simplified approach (Premium Allocation Approach) mainly for short-duration contracts.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

(1) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements of the Group for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers (“the Regulations”) and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations issued by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee or the former Standing Interpretations Committee as endorsed by the FSC (“TIFRS”).

(2) Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on a historical cost basis, except for financial instruments that have been measured at fair value. The consolidated financial statements are expressed in thousands of New Taiwan Dollars (“NT$”) unless otherwise stated.

(3) Basis of consolidation

  • A. Preparation principle of consolidated financial statements

Control is achieved when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the investee. Specifically, the Group controls an investee if and only if the Group has:

  • a. power over the investee (i.e. existing rights that give it the current ability to direct the relevant activities of the investee)

  • b. exposure, or rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and

  • c. the ability to use its power over the investee to affect its returns

When the Group has less than a majority of the voting or similar rights of an investee, the Group considers all relevant facts and circumstances in assessing whether it has power over an investee, including:

  • a. the contractual arrangement with the other vote holders of the investee

  • b. rights arising from other contractual arrangements

  • c. the Group’s voting rights and potential voting rights

The Group re-assesses whether it controls an investee if facts and circumstances indicate that there are changes to one or more of the three elements of control.

284

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

Subsidiaries are fully consolidated from the acquisition date, being the date on which the Group obtains control, and continue to be consolidated until the date that such control ceases. The financial statements of the subsidiaries are prepared for the same reporting period as the parent company, using uniform accounting policies. All intra-group balances, income and expenses, unrealized gains and losses and dividends resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full.

A change in the ownership interest of a subsidiary, without a change of control, is accounted for as an equity transaction.

Total comprehensive income of the subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

If the Group loses control of a subsidiary, it:

  • a. derecognizes the assets (including goodwill) and liabilities of the subsidiary;

  • b. derecognizes the carrying amount of any non-controlling interest;

  • c. recognizes the fair value of the consideration received;

  • d. recognizes the fair value of any investment retained;

  • e. recognizes any surplus or deficit in profit or loss; and

  • f. reclassifies the parent’s share of components previously recognized in other comprehensive income to profit or loss.

(4) Foreign currency transactions

The Group’s consolidated financial statements are presented in NT$, which is also the Group’s functional currency. Each entity in the Group determines its own functional currency and items included in the financial statements of each entity are measured using that functional currency.

Transactions in foreign currencies are initially recorded by the Group entities at their respective functional currency rates prevailing at the date of the transaction. Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the functional currency closing rate of exchange ruling at the reporting date. Non-monetary items measured at fair value in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates at the date when the fair value is determined. Non-monetary items that are measured at historical cost in a foreign currency are translated using the exchange rates as at the dates of the initial transactions.

All exchange differences arising on the settlement of monetary items or on translating monetary items are taken to profit or loss in the period in which they arise except for the following:

  • A. Exchange differences arising from foreign currency borrowings for an acquisition of a qualifying asset to the extent that they are regarded as an adjustment to interest costs are included in the borrowing costs that are eligible for capitalization.

  • B. Foreign currency items within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments are accounted for based on the accounting policy for financial instruments.

  • C. Exchange differences arising on a monetary item that forms part of a reporting entity’s net investment in a foreign operation is recognized initially in other comprehensive income and reclassified from equity to profit or loss on disposal of the net investment.

287

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in other comprehensive income, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognized in other comprehensive income. When a gain or loss on a non-monetary item is recognized in profit or loss, any exchange component of that gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(5) Translation of financial statements in foreign currency

The assets and liabilities of foreign operations are translated into NT$ at the closing rate of exchange prevailing at the reporting date and their income and expenses are translated at an average rate for the period. The exchange differences arising on the translation are recognized in other comprehensive income. On the disposal of a foreign operation, the cumulative amount of the exchange differences relating to that foreign operation, recognized in other comprehensive income and accumulated in the separate component of equity, is reclassified from equity to profit or loss when the gain or loss on disposal is recognized. The following are accounted for as disposals even if an interest in the foreign operation is retained by the Group: the loss of control over a foreign operation, the loss of significant influence over a foreign operation, or the loss of joint control over a foreign operation.

On the partial disposal of a subsidiary that includes a foreign operation that does not result in a loss of control, the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is re-attributed to the non-controlling interests in that foreign operation. In partial disposal of an associate or jointly controlled entity that includes a foreign operation that does not result in a loss of significant influence or joint control, only the proportionate share of the cumulative amount of the exchange differences recognized in other comprehensive income is reclassified to profit or loss.

Any goodwill and any fair value adjustments to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities arising on the acquisition of a foreign operation are treated as assets and liabilities of the foreign operation and expressed in its functional currency.

(6) Current and non-current distinction

The following asset is classified as current. All other assets are classified as non-current:

  • A. The Group expects to realize the asset, or intends to sell or consume it, in its normal operating cycle

  • B. The Group holds the asset primarily for the purpose of trading

  • C. The Group expects to realize the asset within twelve months after the reporting period

  • D. The asset is cash or cash equivalent unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period

288

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

The following liability is classified as current. All other liabilities are classified as non-current:

  • A. The Group expects to settle the liability in its normal operating cycle

  • B. The Group holds the liability primarily for the purpose of trading

  • C. The liability is due to be settled within twelve months after the reporting period

  • D. The Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement of the liability for at least twelve months after the reporting period. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification

(7) Cash and cash equivalents

Cash and cash equivalents comprises cash on hand, demand deposits and short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value (including time deposits with maturing of less than 12 months).

(8) Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instrument.

Financial assets and financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments are recognized initially at fair value plus or minus, in the case of investments not at fair value through profit or loss, directly attributable transaction costs.

  • A. Financial instruments: Recognition and Measurement

The Group accounts for regular way purchase or sales of financial assets on the trade date.

The Group classified financial assets as subsequently measured at amortized cost, fair value through other comprehensive income on the basis of both:

  • a. the Group’s business model for managing the financial assets and

  • b. the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial asset.

Financial assets measured at amortized cost

289

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

A financial asset is measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met and presented as notes receivable, accounts receivable, financial assets measured at amortized cost and other receivables etc., on balance sheet as at the reporting date:

  • a. the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows and

  • b. the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Such financial assets are subsequently measured at amortized cost (the amount at which the financial asset is measured at initial recognition minus the principal repayments, plus or minus the cumulative amortization using the effective interest method of any difference between the initial amount and the maturity amount and adjusted for any loss allowance) and is not part of a hedging relationship. A gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss when the financial asset is derecognized, through the amortization process or in order to recognize the impairment gains or losses.

Interest revenue is calculated by using the effective interest method. This is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of a financial asset except for:

  • a. purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets. For those financial assets, the Group applies the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset from initial recognition.

  • b. financial assets that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets but subsequently have become credit-impaired financial assets. For those financial assets, the Group applies the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset in subsequent reporting periods.

Financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income

A financial asset is measured at fair value through other comprehensive income if both of the following conditions are met:

  • a. the financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is achieved by both collecting contractual cash flows and selling financial assets and

  • b. the contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Recognition of gain or loss on a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income are described as below:

290

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

  • a. A gain or loss on a financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income should be recognized in other comprehensive income, except for impairment gains or losses and foreign exchange gains and losses, until the financial asset is derecognized or reclassified.

  • b. When the financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss as a reclassification adjustment.

  • c. Interest revenue calculated by using the effective interest method (effective interest rate times the carrying amount of the financial asset) or the method stated below should be recognized in profit or loss.

  • i. For purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets, the Group applies the credit-adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset.

  • ii. For financial assets that are not purchased or originated credit-impaired financial assets but subsequently become credit-impaired financial assets, the Group applies the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of the financial asset in subsequent reporting periods.

Besides, for certain equity investments within the scope of IFRS 9 that is neither held for trading nor contingent consideration recognized by an acquirer in a business combination to which IFRS 3 applies, the Group made an irrevocable election to present the changes of the fair value in other comprehensive income at initial recognition. Amounts presented in other comprehensive income shall not be subsequently transferred to profit or loss (when disposal of such equity instrument, its cumulated amount included in other components of equity is transferred directly to the retained earnings) and these investments should be presented as financial assets measured at fair value through other comprehensive income on the balance sheet. Dividends on such investment are recognized in profit or loss unless the dividends clearly represents a recovery of part of the cost of investment.

B. Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses on debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial asset measured at amortized cost. The loss allowance on debt instrument investments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income and not reduce the carrying amount in the statement of financial position.

The Group measures expected credit losses of a financial instrument in a way that reflects:

  • a. an unbiased and probability-weighted amount that is determined by evaluating a range of possible outcomes;

291

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

  • b. the time value of money; and

  • c. reasonable and supportable information that is available without undue cost or effort at the reporting date about past events, current conditions and forecasts of future economic conditions.

The loss allowance is measured as follows:

  • a. At an amount equal to 12-month expected credit losses: the credit risk on a financial asset has not increased significantly since initial recognition or the financial asset is determined to have low credit risk at the reporting date. In addition, the Group measures the loss allowance for a financial asset at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses in the previous reporting period, but determines at the current reporting date that condition is no longer met.

  • b. At an amount equal to the lifetime expected credit losses: the credit risk on a financial asset has increased significantly since initial recognition or financial asset that is purchased or originated credit-impaired financial asset.

  • c. For trade receivables or contract assets arising from transactions within the scope of IFRS 15, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

  • d. For lease receivables arising from transactions within the scope of IFRS 16, the Group measures the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses.

At each reporting date, the Group needs to assess whether the credit risk on a financial asset has been increased significantly since initial recognition by comparing the risk of a default occurring at the reporting date and the risk of default occurring at initial recognition. Please refer to Note 12 for further details on credit risk.

  • C. Derecognition of financial assets

A financial asset is derecognized when:

  • a. The rights to receive cash flows from the asset have expired

  • b. The Group has transferred the asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset have been transferred

  • c. The Group has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of the asset, but has transferred control of the asset

On derecognition of a financial asset in its entirety, the difference between the carrying amount and the consideration received or receivable including any cumulative gain or loss that had been recognized in other comprehensive income, is recognized in profit or loss.

292

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

D. Financial liabilities and equity

Classification between liabilities or equity

The Group classifies the instrument issued as a financial liability or an equity instrument in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial liability, and an equity instrument.

Equity instruments

An equity instrument is any contract that evidences a residual interest in the assets of an entity after deducting all its liabilities. The transaction costs of an equity transaction are accounted for as a deduction from equity (net of any related income tax benefit) to the extent they are incremental costs directly attributable to the equity transaction that otherwise would have been avoided.

Financial liabilities

Financial liabilities within the scope of IFRS 9 Financial Instruments are classified as financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss or financial liabilities measured at amortized cost.

Financial liabilities at amortized cost

Financial liabilities measured at amortized cost include interest bearing loans and borrowings that are subsequently measured using the effective interest rate method after initial recognition. Gains and losses are recognized in profit or loss when the liabilities are derecognized as well as through amortization process of the effective interest rate method.

Amortized cost is calculated by considering any discount or premium on acquisition and fees or transaction costs.

Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability is discharged or cancelled or expires.

When an existing financial liability is replaced by another from the same lender on substantially different terms, or the terms of an existing liability are substantially modified (whether or not attributable to the financial difficulty of the debtor), such an exchange or modification is treated as a derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a

293

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

new liability, and the difference in the respective carrying amounts and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

  • E. Offsetting of financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet if, and only if, there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.

(9) Fair value

A fair value measurement assumes that the asset or liability is exchanged in an orderly transaction between market participants to sell the asset or transfer the liability at the measurement date under current market conditions. A fair value measurement assumes that the transaction to sell the asset or transfer the liability takes place either:

  • A. in the principal market for the asset or liability; or

  • B. in the absence of a principal market, in the most advantageous market for the asset or liability.

The main or the most advantageous market must enter by the Group to conduct transaction.

An entity shall measure the fair value of an asset or a liability using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability, if market participants act in their economic best interest.

A fair value measurement of a non-financial asset considers a market participant’s ability to generate economic benefits by using the asset in its highest and best use or by selling it to another market participant that would use the asset in its highest and best use.

The Group adopts the appropriate valuation technique(s) to use when measuring fair value. The valuation technique(s) used should maximize the use of relevant observable inputs and minimize unobservable inputs.

(10) Inventories

Inventories, including construction land, construction in progress and building and land for sale are stated at the cost in the basis of the account. The construction land transfer to property under construction during actively developed and capitalize financial cost during actively developed or construction period.

294

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

Inventories are valued at lower of cost and net realizable value item by item. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less estimated costs of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale.

The Group's contract incremental cost is the commission generated by the acquisition of the presold house contract. The customer's signing of the presold contract has not fulfilled the performance obligation because the goods promised to have not been transferred to the customer. According IFRS 15, the sales commission is the incremental cost of acquisiting the presold house contract. When the house is transferred to the customer and fulfill the performance obligation, the incremental cost of obtaining the contract is be amortized.

Rendering of services is accounted in accordance with IFRS 15 but not within the scoping of inventories.

(11) Investments accounted for using the equity method

The Group’s investment in its associate is accounted for using the equity method other than those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale. An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence. A joint venture means the Group has rights to the net assets of the joint agreement.

Under the equity method, the investment in the associate is carried in the balance sheet at cost and adjusted thereafter for the post-acquisition change in the Group’s share of net assets of the associate. After the interest in the associate is reduced to zero, additional losses are provided for, and a liability is recognized, only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate. Unrealized gains and losses resulting from transactions between the Group and the associate are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s related interest in the associate.

When changes in the net assets of an associate occur and not those that are recognized in profit or loss or other comprehensive income and do not affects the Group’s percentage of ownership interests in the associate, the Group recognizes such changes in equity based on its percentage of ownership interests. The resulting capital surplus recognized will be reclassified to profit or loss at the time of disposing the associate on a prorate basis.

When the associate issues new stock, and the Group’s interest in an associate is reduced or increased as the Group fails to acquire shares newly issued in the associate proportionately to its original ownership interest, the increase or decrease in the interest in the associate is recognized in additional paid in capital and investment in associate. When the interest in the associate is reduced, the cumulative amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income are reclassified to profit or loss or other appropriate items. The aforementioned capital surplus recognized is reclassified to profit or loss on a prorate basis when the Group disposes of the associate.

295

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

The financial statements of the associate are prepared for the same reporting period as the Group. Where necessary, adjustments are made to bring the accounting policies in line with those of the Group.

The Group determines at each reporting date whether there is any objective evidence that the investment in the associate is impaired in accordance with IAS 28 Investments in Associates and Joint Ventures . If this is the case the Group calculates the amount of impairment as the difference between the recoverable amount of the associate and its carrying value and recognizes the amount in the ‘share of profit or loss of an associate’ in the statement of comprehensive income in accordance with IAS 36 Impairment of Assets. In determining the value in use of the investment, the Group estimates:

  • A. Its share of the present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to be generated by the associate, including the cash flows from the operations of the associate and the proceeds on the ultimate disposal of the investment.

  • B. The present value of the estimated future cash flows expected to arise from dividends to be received from the investment and from its ultimate disposal.

Because goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of an investment in an associate is not separately recognized, it is not tested for impairment separately by applying the requirements for impairment testing goodwill in IAS 36 Impairment of Assets.

Upon loss of significant influence over the associate, the Group measures and recognizes any retaining investment at its fair value. Any difference between the carrying amount of the associate upon loss of significant influence and the fair value of the retaining investment and proceeds from disposal is recognized in profit or loss. The Group recognizes its interest in the jointly controlled entities using the equity method continuously.

(12) Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are stated at cost, net of accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Such cost includes the cost of dismantling and removing the item and restoring the site on which it is located and borrowing costs for construction in progress if the recognition criteria are met. Each part of an item of property, plant and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item is depreciated separately. When significant parts of property, plant and equipment are required to be replaced in intervals, the Group recognized such parts as individual assets with specific useful lives and depreciation, respectively. The carrying amount of those parts that are replaced is derecognized in accordance with the derecognition provisions of IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment. When a major inspection is performed, its cost is recognized in the carrying amount of the plant and equipment as a replacement if the recognition criteria are satisfied. All other repair and maintenance costs are recognized in gain or loss as incurred.

296

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives of the following assets:

Buildings: 5~50 years Leased assets: 5 years Leasehold improvements: The shorter of lease terms or economic useful lives Right-of-use assets: 1 � 25 years Other equipment: 2~26 years

An item of property, plant and equipment and any significant part initially recognized is derecognized upon disposal or when no future economic benefits are expected from its use or disposal. Any gain or loss arising on derecognition of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

The assets’ residual values, useful lives and methods of depreciation are reviewed at each financial year end and adjusted prospectively, if appropriate.

(13) Investment property

The Group’s owned investment properties are measured initially at cost, including transaction costs. The carrying amount includes the cost of replacing part of an existing investment property at the time that cost is incurred if the recognition criteria are met and excludes the costs of day-to-day servicing of an investment property. Subsequent to initial recognition, other than those that meet the criteria to be classified as held for sale (or are included in a disposal group that is classified as held for sale) in accordance with IFRS 5 Non-current Assets Held for Sale and Discontinued Operations , investment properties are measured using the cost model in accordance with the requirements of IAS 16 Property, plant and equipment for that model. If investment properties are held by a lessee as right-of-use assets and is not held for sale in accordance with IFRS 5, investment properties are measured in accordance with the requirements of IFRS 16.

Depreciation is calculated on a straight-line basis over the estimated economic lives of the following assets:

Buildings 1 � 50 years

Investment properties are derecognized when either they have been disposed of or when the investment property is permanently withdrawn from use and no future economic benefit is expected from its disposal. The difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss in the period of derecognition.

The Group transfers to or from investment properties when there is a change in use for these assets.

Properties are transferred to or from investment properties when the properties meet, or cease to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use.

(14) Leases

The Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease. A contract is, or contains, a lease if the contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time in exchange for consideration. To assess whether a contract conveys the right to control the use of an identified asset for a period of time, the Group assesses whether, throughout the period of use, has both of the following:

  • A. the right to obtain substantially all of the economic benefits from use of the identified asset; and

  • B. the right to direct the use of the identified asset.

For a contract that is, or contains, a lease, the Group accounts for each lease component within the contract as a lease separately from non-lease components of the contract. For a contract that contains a lease component and one or more additional lease or non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract to each lease component on the basis of the relative stand-alone price of the lease component and the aggregate stand-alone price of the non-lease components. The relative stand-alone price of lease and non-lease components shall be determined on the basis of the price received by the lessor, or a similar supplier, would charge the Group for that component, or a similar component, separately. If an observable stand-alone price is not readily available, the Group estimates the stand-alone price, maximizing the use of observable information.

For the rent concession arising as a direct consequence of the covid-19 pandemic, the Group elected not to assess whether it is a lease modification but accounted it as a variable lease payment. And this practical expedient has been applied to all eligible rent concessions.

Group as a lessee

Except for leases that meet and elect short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, the Group recognizes right-of-use asset and lease liability for all leases which the Group is the lessee of those lease contracts.

At the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability at the present value of the lease payments that are not paid at that date. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in the lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be readily determined, the Group uses its incremental borrowing rate. At the commencement date, the lease payments included in the measurement of the lease liability comprise the following payments for the right to use the underlying asset during the lease term that are not paid at the commencement date:

  • A. fixed payments (including in-substance fixed payments), less any lease incentives receivable;

298

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

  • B. variable lease payments that depend on an index or a rate, initially measured using the index or rate as at the commencement date;

  • C. amounts expected to be payable by the lessee under residual value guarantees;

  • D. the exercise price of a purchase option if the Group is reasonably certain to exercise that option; and

  • E. payments of penalties for terminating the lease, if the lease term reflects the lessee exercising an option to terminate the lease.

After the commencement date, the Group measures the lease liability on an amortized cost basis, which increases the carrying amount to reflect interest on the lease liability by using an effective interest method; and reduces the carrying amount to reflect the lease payments made.

At the commencement date, the Group measures the right-of-use asset at cost. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprises:

  • A. the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability;

  • B. any lease payments made at or before the commencement date, less any lease incentives received;

  • C. any initial direct costs incurred by the lessee; and

  • D. an estimate of costs to be incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease.

For subsequent measurement of the right-of-use asset, the Group measures the right-of-use asset at cost less any accumulated depreciation and any accumulated impairment losses. That is, the Group measures the right-of-use applying a cost model.

If the lease transfers ownership of the underlying asset to the Group by the end of the lease term or if the cost of the right-of-use asset reflects that the Group will exercise a purchase option, the Group depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the end of the useful life of the underlying asset. Otherwise, the Group depreciates the right-of-use asset from the commencement date to the earlier of the end of the useful life of the right-ofuse asset or the end of the lease term.

The Group applies IAS 36 “Impairment of Assets” to determine whether the right-of-use asset is impaired and to account for any impairment loss identified.

Except for those leases that the Group accounted for as short-term leases or leases of lowvalue assets, the Group presents right-of-use assets and lease liabilities in the balance sheet and separately presents lease-related interest expense and depreciation charge in the income statement.

299

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

For short-term leases or leases of low-value assets, the Group elects to recognize the lease payments associated with those leases as an expense on either a straight-line basis over the lease term or another systematic basis.

Group as a lessor

At inception of a contract, the Group classifies each of its leases as either an operating lease or a finance lease. A lease is classified as a finance lease if it transfers substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. A lease is classified as an operating lease if it does not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of an underlying asset. At the commencement date, the Group recognizes assets held under a finance lease in its balance sheet and present them as a receivable at an amount equal to the net investment in the lease.

For a contract that contains lease components and non-lease components, the Group allocates the consideration in the contract applying IFRS 15.

The Group recognizes lease payments from operating leases as rental income on either a straight-line basis or another systematic basis. Variable lease payments for operating leases that do not depend on an index or a rate are recognized as rental income when incurred.

(15) Intangible assets

Intangible assets acquired separately are measured on initial recognition at cost. The cost of intangible assets acquired in a business combination is its fair value as at the date of acquisition. Following initial recognition, intangible assets are carried at cost less any accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment losses, if any. Internally generated intangible assets, excluding capitalized development costs, are not capitalized and expenditure is reflected in profit or loss for the year in which the expenditure is incurred.

The useful lives of intangible assets are assessed as either finite or indefinite.

Intangible assets with finite lives are amortized over the useful economic life and assessed for impairment whenever there is an indication that the intangible asset may be impaired. The amortization period and the amortization method for an intangible asset with a finite useful life is reviewed at least at the end of each financial year. Changes in the expected useful life or the expected pattern of consumption of future economic benefits embodied in the asset is accounted for by changing the amortization period or method, as appropriate, and are treated as changes in accounting estimates.

300

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives are not amortized, but are tested for impairment annually, either individually or at the cash-generating unit level. The assessment of indefinite life is reviewed annually to determine whether the indefinite life continues to be supportable. If not, the change in useful life from indefinite to finite is made on a prospective basis.

Gains or losses arising from derecognition of an intangible asset are recognized in profit or loss when the asset is derecognized.

Computer software

The cost of computer software is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life (1 to 6 years).

Trademark

The cost of trademark is amortized on a straight-line basis over the estimated useful life which is prescribed by law.

(16)Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at the end of each reporting period whether there is any indication that an asset in the scope of IAS 36 Impairment of Assets may be impaired. If any such indication exists, or when annual impairment testing for an asset is required, the Group estimates the asset’s recoverable amount. An asset’s recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s or cashgenerating unit’s (“CGU”) fair value less costs to sell and its value in use and is determined for an individual asset, unless the asset does not generate cash inflows that are largely independent of those from other assets or groups of assets. Where the carrying amount of an asset or CGU exceeds its recoverable amount, the asset is considered impaired and is written down to its recoverable amount.

For assets excluding goodwill, an assessment is made at each reporting date as to whether there is any indication that previously recognized impairment losses may no longer exist or may have decreased. If such indication exists, the Group estimates the asset’s or cashgenerating unit’s recoverable amount. A previously recognized impairment loss is reversed only if there has been an increase in the estimated service potential of an asset which in turn increases the recoverable amount. However, the reversal is limited so that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its recoverable amount, nor exceed the carrying amount that would have been determined, net of depreciation, had no impairment loss been recognized for the asset in prior years.

A cash generating unit, or groups of cash-generating units, to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually at the same time, irrespective of whether there is

301

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

any indication of impairment. If an impairment loss is to be recognized, it is first allocated to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the cash generating unit (group of units), then to the other assets of the unit (group of units) pro rata based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit (group of units). Impairment losses relating to goodwill cannot be reversed in future periods for any reason.

An impairment loss of continuing operations or a reversal of such impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

(17) Revenue recognition

The Group’s revenue arising from contracts with customers mainly includes sale of buildings and land and rendering of services. The accounting policies for the Group’s types of revenue are explained as follows:

Construction income

The Group entrusts construction companies in construction and planning of public housing is recognized as sales revenue in accordance with the IFRS 15 about the regulation of sales of goods. Therefore, the Group recognize profit and loss when the ownership transferred.

Before the recognition of the income, the down payment and installment received for the sale of the premises are recognized as contract liabilities in the current liabilities of the balance sheet.

Sales of goods

The Group recognized the sales revenue when the merchandise transport to the customer and the control of merchandise transfer to the customers (The customers owns the right to control the merchandise and the residual benefit to the merchandise.)

The Group recognized the account receivable when the merchandise’s control transfer to the customers and has the right to charge, the account receivable usually has a short period to recover and do not have a significant financial component.

Rendering of services

The Group’s service revenue mainly generated from providing consulting, accommodation and dining service. The revenue recognized when the service completed. The cost of the service recognized when the transaction occurred � the expenses recognized in the current period in accordance with accrual basis.

302

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

(18) Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to the acquisition, construction or production of an asset that necessarily takes a substantial period to get ready for its intended use or sale are capitalized as part of the cost of the respective assets. All other borrowing costs are expensed in the period they occur. Borrowing costs consist of interest and other costs that an entity incurs relating to the borrowing of funds.

(19) Retirement benefits plans

All regular employees of The Group and its domestic subsidiaries are entitled to a pension plan that is managed by an independently administered pension fund committee. Fund assets are deposited under the committee’s name in the specific bank account and hence, not associated with The Group and its domestic subsidiaries. Therefore, fund assets are not included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Pension benefits for employees of the overseas subsidiaries and the branches are provided in accordance with the respective local regulations.

For the defined contribution plan, The Group and its domestic subsidiaries will make a monthly contribution of no less than 6% of the monthly wages of the employee’s subject to the plan. The Group and its subsidiaries recognizes expenses for the defined contribution plan in the period in which the contribution becomes due. Overseas subsidiaries and branches make contribution to the plan based on the requirements of local regulations.

Post-employment benefit plan that is classified as a defined benefit plan uses the Projected Unit Credit Method to measure its obligations and costs based on actuarial assumptions. Remeasurements, comprising of the effect of the actuarial gains and losses, the effect of the asset ceiling and the return on plan assets, excluding net interest, are recognized as other comprehensive income with a corresponding debit or credit to other equity in the period in which they occur. Past service costs are recognized in profit or loss on the earlier of:

A. the date of the plan amendment or curtailment, and

  • B. the date that the Group recognizes restructuring-related costs or termination benefits costs

Net interest is calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit liability or asset, both as determined at the start of the annual reporting period, taking account of any changes in the net defined benefit liability (asset) during the period because of contribution and benefit payment.

(20) Income taxes

Income tax expense (income) is the aggregate amount included in the determination of profit or loss for the period in respect of current tax and deferred tax.

303

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

Current income tax

Current income tax assets and liabilities for the current and prior periods are measured at the amount expected to be recovered from or paid to the taxation authorities, using the tax rates and tax laws that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. Current income tax relating to items recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity and not in profit or loss.

The income tax for undistributed earnings is recognized as income tax expense in the subsequent year when the distribution proposal is approved by the shareholders’ meeting.

Deferred tax

Deferred tax is provided on temporary differences at the reporting date between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts for financial reporting purposes.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for all taxable temporary differences, except:

  • A. Where the deferred tax liability arises from the initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss.

  • B. In respect of taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, where the timing of the reversal of the temporary differences can be controlled and it is probable that the temporary differences will not reverse in the foreseeable future.

Deferred tax assets are recognized for all deductible temporary differences, carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses, to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences, and the carry forward of unused tax credits and unused tax losses can be utilized, except:

  • A. Where the deferred tax asset relating to the deductible temporary difference arises from the initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction that is not a business combination and, at the time of the transaction, affects neither the accounting profit nor taxable profit or loss

  • B. In respect of deductible temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries, associates and interests in joint ventures, deferred tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that the temporary differences will reverse in the foreseeable future and taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized

Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the year when the asset is realized or the liability is settled, based on tax rates and tax laws

304

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the reporting date. The measurement of deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the way the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities. Deferred tax relating to items recognized outside profit or loss is recognized outside profit or loss. Deferred tax items are recognized in correlation to the underlying transaction either in other comprehensive income or directly in equity. Deferred tax assets are reassessed at each reporting date and are recognized accordingly.

Deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities are offset, if a legally enforceable right exists to set off current income tax assets against current income tax liabilities and the deferred taxes relate to the same taxable entity and the same taxation authority.

(21) Business combinations

Business combinations are accounted for using the acquisition method. The consideration transferred, the identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed are measured at acquisition date fair value. For each business combination, the acquirer measures any non-controlling interest in the acquiree either at fair value or at the non-controlling interest’s proportionate share of the acquiree’s identifiable net assets. Acquisition-related costs are accounted for as expenses in the periods in which the costs are incurred and are classified under administrative expenses.

If the business combination is achieved in stages, the acquisition date fair value of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree is remeasured to fair value at the acquisition date through profit or loss.

Any contingent consideration to be transferred by the acquirer will be recognized at the acquisition-date fair value. Subsequent changes to the fair value of the contingent consideration which is deemed to be an asset or liability, will be recognized in accordance with IFRS 9 Financial Instruments either in profit or loss or as a change to other comprehensive income. However, if the contingent consideration is classified as equity, it should not be remeasured until it is finally settled within equity.

Goodwill is initially measured as the amount of the excess of the aggregate of the consideration transferred and the non-controlling interest over the net fair value of the identifiable assets acquired and the liabilities assumed. If this aggregate is lower than the fair value of the net assets acquired, the difference is recognized in profit or loss.

After initial recognition, goodwill is measured at cost less any accumulated impairment losses. Goodwill acquired in a business combination is, from the acquisition date, allocated to each of the Group’s cash-generating units that are expected to benefit from the combination,

305

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

irrespective of whether other assets or liabilities of the acquiree are assigned to those units. Each unit or group of units to which the goodwill is so allocated represents the lowest level within the Group at which the goodwill is monitored for internal management purpose and is not larger than an operating segment before aggregation.

Where goodwill forms part of a cash-generating unit and part of the operation within that unit is disposed of, the goodwill associated with the operation disposed of is included in the carrying amount of the operation. Goodwill disposed of in this circumstance is measured based on the relative recoverable amounts of the operation disposed of and the portion of the cash-generating unit retained.

5. SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND ASSUMPTIONS

The preparation of the Group’s consolidated financial statements require management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of revenues, expenses, assets and liabilities, and the disclosure of contingent liabilities, at the end of the reporting period. However, uncertainty about these assumption and estimate could result in outcomes that require a material adjustment to the carrying amount of the asset or liability affected in future periods.

(1) Judgement

In the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies, management has made the following judgments, which have the most significant effect on the amounts recognized in the consolidated financial statements:

Financing lease commitment-Group as the lessor

The Group has signed real estate leases for investment real property portfolios. Based on the assessment of its agreed terms, the Group still retains the significant risks and rewards of ownership of these properties and treats them as operating leases.

(2) Estimates and assumptions

The key assumptions concerning the future and other key sources of estimation uncertainty at the reporting date, that have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year are discussed below.

A. Fair value of financial instruments

Where the fair value of financial assets and financial liabilities recorded in the balance sheet cannot be derived from active markets, they are determined using valuation techniques including the income approach (for example the discounted cash flows model)

306

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

or market approach. Changes in assumptions about these factors could affect the reported fair value of the financial instruments. Please refer to Note 12 for more details.

B. Impairment of non-financial assets

An impairment exists when the carrying value of an asset or cash generating unit exceeds its recoverable amount, which is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and its value in use. The fair value less costs to sell calculation is based on the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date less incremental costs that would be directly attributable to the disposal of the asset or cash generating unit. The value in use calculation is based on a discounted cash flow model. The cash flows projections are derived from the budget for the next five years and do not include restructuring activities that the Group is not yet committed to or significant future investments that will enhance the asset’s performance of the cash generating unit being tested. The recoverable amount is most sensitive to the discount rate used for the discounted cash flow model as well as the expected future cash-inflows and the growth rate used for extrapolation purposes.

C. Retirement benefits plans

The cost of retirement employment benefit and the present value of the pension obligation under defined benefit pension plans are determined using actuarial valuations. An actuarial valuation involves making various assumptions. These include the determination of the discount rate, future salary increases, mortality rates and future pension increases. Please refer to Note 6 for more details.

D. Income tax

Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation of complex tax regulations and the amount and timing of future taxable income. Given the wide range of international business relationships and the long-term nature and complexity of existing contractual agreements, differences arising between the actual results and the assumptions made, or future changes to such assumptions, could necessitate future adjustments to tax income and expense already recorded. The Group establishes provisions, based on reasonable estimates, for possible consequences of audits by the tax authorities of the respective counties in which it operates. The amount of such provisions is based on various factors, such as experience of previous tax audits and differing interpretations of tax regulations by the taxable entity and the responsible tax authority. Such differences of interpretation may arise on a wide variety of issues depending on the conditions prevailing in the respective Group’s domicile. Deferred tax assets are recognized for all carry forward of unused tax losses and unused

307

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

tax credits and deductible temporary differences to the extent that it is probable that taxable profit will be available or there are sufficient taxable temporary differences against which the unused tax losses, unused tax credits or deductible temporary differences can be utilized. The amount of deferred tax assets determined to be recognized is based upon the likely timing and the level of future taxable profits and taxable temporary differences together with future tax planning strategies. As of December 31, 2020, the deferred income tax assets that the Group has not recognize, please refer to Note 6 for more details.

E. Inventory evaluation

The Group must use the judgment and estimates to determine the net realizable value of the inventory at the balance sheet date, as the inventories are measured at the lower of the cost and the net realizable value. The Group assesses the amount of inventory at the balance sheet date due to market changes or no market sales value, and reduces the inventory cost to the net realizable value. This inventory evaluation is mainly based on the product demand in the specific period in the future, so it may cause significant changes. Please refer to Note 6 for more details.

F. Accounts receivables-estimation of impairment loss

The Group estimates the impairment loss of accounts receivables at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses. The credit loss is the present value of the difference between the contractual cash flows that are due under the contract (carrying amount) and the cash flows that expects to receive (evaluate forward looking information). However, as the impact from the discounting of short-term receivables is not material, the credit loss is measured by the undiscounted cash flows. Where the actual future cash flows are lower than expected, a material impairment loss may arise. Please refer to Note 6 for more details.

The net realizable value of the construction land held by the Company is based on the nature of the land, using either land development analysis approach, comparison method or announced current land value method. The land development analysis approach is based on the changes in land value the development and improvement bring according to the legal use and the intensity of use of the land. The approach estimates the total sales amount after development or construction, deducting the direct costs, indirect costs, capital interests and profits during the development period. The comparison method is evaluated based on the transaction price of similar lands in neighboring areas in the most recent year. The announced current land value method is based on the assessment of the current value of the land announced by the Department of Land Affairs, Ministry of the Interior.

(14)Retirement employment benefits

A. Defined contribution plan

The defined contribution plan of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries’ Employee Retirement Plan is regulated according to the provisions of the Labor Pension Act. In accordance with the Act, contributions made by the employer cannot be lower than 6% of the participant’s monthly wages. Therefore, The Group makes 6% contributions of the monthly wages to the Labor Pension personal account of the Bureau of the Labor Insurance on a regular basis.

Subsidiaries in China are required to pay pension insurance premiums according to the local government's laws and regulations, paying a certain proportion of the total salary of the employees. A Certain proportion of the total salary of the employees is paid to the relevant government department and saved in separate accounts of each employee.

Other foreign subsidiaries of the Group provide pensions to relevant pension management undertakings in accordance with local laws and regulations.

319

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the expenses related to defined contribution plan amounted to NT$33,609 thousand and NT$29,438 thousand, respectively.

B. Defined benefits plan

The defined benefit plan of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries’ Employee Retirement Plan is regulated according to the Labor Standards Act. 2. Retirement benefits are based on such factors as the employee’s length of service and final pensionable salary. In accordance with the Act, 2 bases are given for each full year on the first 15 years of service and 1 base is given for each full year after 15 years of service. The total bases given shall not exceed 45. Under the retirement plan, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of gross salary to the pension reserve fund, which is deposited into a designated depository account with the Bank of Taiwan. At the end of each year, if the balance in the designated labor pension reserve funds is inadequate to cover the benefit estimated to be paid in the following year, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries should make up the difference before the end of March in the following year.

The Ministry of Labor is in charge of establishing and implementing the fund utilization plan in accordance with the Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilization of the Labor Retirement Fund. The pension fund is invested in-house or under mandation, based on a passive-aggressive investment strategy for long-term profitability. The Ministry of Labor establishes checks and risk management mechanism based on the assessment of risk factors including market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk, in order to maintain adequate manager flexibility to achieve targeted return without over-exposure of risk. With regard to utilization of the pension fund, the minimum earnings in the annual distributions on the final financial statement shall not be less than the earnings attainable from the amounts accrued from two-year time deposits with the interest rates offered by local banks. Treasury Funds can be used to cover the deficits after the approval of the competent authority. As the Company does not participate in the operation and management of the pension fund, no disclosure on the fair value of the plan assets categorized in different classes could be made in accordance with paragraph 142 of IAS 19. The Group expects to contribute NT$1,807 thousand to its defined benefit plan during the 12 months beginning after December 31, 2020.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the average duration of defined benefit obligation of the Group were expected to be 12.9 years and 14.2 years.

The sensitivity analyses above are based on a change in a significant assumption (for example: change in discount rate or future salary), keeping all other assumptions constant. The sensitivity analyses may not be representative of an actual change in the defined benefit obligation as it is unlikely that changes in assumptions would occur in isolation of one another.

There was no change in the methods and assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analyses compared to the previous period.

  • e. Other information relating to leasing activities

Variable lease payments

Some of the Group’s property lease agreements contain variable payment terms that are linked to certain percentages of sales generated from the leased stores, which is very common in the industry of the Group. The variable rent was calculated by the higher amount of fixed payment and payment which calculated by certain percentages of sales under the lease agreements. As such variable lease payments do not meet the definition of lease payments, those payments are not included in the measurement of the assets and liabilities. If the payment which calculated by certain percentages of sales under the lease agreements is higher than the fixed payment, the Group expects the consequence that, for every sales increase of NT$100 thousand, the rental payments will increase by NT$25 thousand.

B. Group as lessor

Please refer to Note 6.(7) for details on the Group’s owned investment properties. Leases of owned investment properties are classified as operating leases as they do not transfer substantially all the risks and rewards incidental to ownership of underlying assets.

(2) Financial risk management objectives and policies

The Group’s principal financial risk management objective is to manage the market risk, credit risk and liquidity risk related to its operating activates. The Group identifies measures and manages the above-mentioned risks based on the Group’s policy and risk appetite.

The Group has established appropriate policies, procedures and internal controls for financial risk management. Before entering into significant transactions, due approval process by the Company’s board of directors and audit committee must be carried out based on related protocols and internal control procedures. The Group consistently complies with its financial risk management policies.

(3) Market risk

Market risk is the risk that the fair value or future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of the changes in market price. Market risk comprises currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk (such as equity instrument).

In practice, it is rarely the case that a single risk variable will change independently from other risk variable, and there are usually interdependencies between risk variables. However, the sensitivity analysis disclosed below does not consider the interdependencies between risk variables.

Foreign currency risk

The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in foreign exchange rates relates primarily to the Group’s net investments in foreign subsidiaries. Furthermore, as net investments in foreign subsidiaries are for strategic purposes, they are not hedged by the Group.

The Group mainly engaged in various business activities in Taiwan, and the foreign currency held is not significant. Therefore, the Group’s risk due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates is not significant.

Interest rate risk

Interest rate risk is the risk that the fair value of future cash flows of a financial instrument will fluctuate because of changes in market interest rates. The Group’s exposure to the risk of changes in market interest rates relates primarily to the Group’s investments with bank borrowings with variable interest rates.

349

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

The interest rate sensitivity analysis is performed on items exposed to interest rate risk as at the end of the reporting period, including investments and borrowings with variable interest rates and interest rate swaps. At the reporting date, a change of 10 basis points of interest rate in a reporting period could cause the profit to decrease/increase by NT$10,442 thousand and NT$8,298 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Equity price risk

The Group’s listed and unlisted equity securities are susceptible to market price risk arising from uncertainties about future values of the investment securities. The Group’s listed and unlisted equity securities are classified under held for financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. The Group manages the equity price risk through diversification and placing limits on individual and total equity instruments. Reports on the equity portfolio are submitted to the Group’s senior management on a regular basis. The Group’s Board of Directors reviews and approves all equity investment decisions.

When the price of the listed equity securities at fair value through other comprehensive income increases/decreases 5%, it could have impacts of NT$206,400 thousand and NT$218,560 thousand for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 on the equity attributable to the Group.

Please refer to Note 12.(8) for sensitivity analysis information of other equity instruments or derivatives that are linked to such equity instruments whose fair value measurement is categorized under Level 3.

(4) Credit risk management

Credit risk is the risk that a counterparty will not meet its obligations under a contract, leading to a financial loss. The Group is exposed to credit risk from operating activities (primarily for accounts receivable and notes receivable) and from its financing activities, including bank deposits and other financial instruments.

Customer credit risk is managed by each business unit subject to the Group’s established policy, procedures and control relating to credit risk management. Credit limits are established for all counter parties based on their financial position, rating from credit rating agencies, historical experience, prevailing economic condition and the Group’s internal rating criteria etc. Certain counter parties’ credit risk will also be managed by taking credit enhancing procedures, such as requesting for prepayment or insurance.

As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, accounts receivable from top ten customers represented low percentage of the total accounts receivable of the Group, respectively. The credit concentration risk of other accounts receivable is insignificant.

350

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

Credit risk from balances with banks, fixed income securities and other financial instruments is managed by the Group’s treasury department in accordance with the Group’s policy. The Group only transacts with counterparties approved by the internal control procedures, which are banks and financial institutions, companies and government entities with good credit rating. Consequently, there is no significant credit risk for these counterparties.

(5) Liquidity risk management

The Group’s objective is to maintain a balance between continuity of funding and flexibility using cash and cash equivalents, highly liquid equity investments, bank borrowings, convertible bonds and finance leases. The table below summarizes the maturity profile of the Group’s financial liabilities based on the contractual undiscounted payments and contractual maturity. The payment amount includes the contractual interest. The undiscounted payment relating to borrowings with variable interest rates is extrapolated based on the estimated interest rate yield curve as of the end of the reporting period.

(7) Fair values of financial instruments

  • A. The methods and assumptions applied in determining the fair value of financial instruments:

The fair value of the financial assets and liabilities are included at the amount at which the instrument could be exchanged in a current transaction between willing parties, other than

352

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

in a forced or liquidation sale. The following methods and assumptions were used to estimate the fair values:

  • a. The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables, accounts payable and other current liabilities approximate their fair value due to their short maturities.

  • b. For financial assets and liabilities traded in an active market with standard terms and conditions, their fair value is determined based on market quotation price (including listed equity securities and bonds) at the reporting date.

  • c. Equity instruments that are not actively traded in the market (including shares of publicly issued companies in an inactive market and shares of undisclosed companies) are estimated by market method and are derived from market transactions of the same or comparable company equity instruments. The fair value is derived from the price and other relevant information (such as lack of liquidity discount factor, similar company stock price-to-earnings ratio, similar company's stock price-to-equity ratio).

  • B. Fair value of financial instruments measured at amortized cost

The carrying amount of the Group’s financial instruments measured at amortized cost (including cash and cash equivalents, receivables, payables and other liabilities) measured at amortized cost approximate their fair value.

(8) Fair value measurement hierarchy

  • A. Fair value measurement hierarchy

All asset and liabilities for which fair value is measured or disclosed in the financial statements are categorized within the fair value hierarchy, based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement as a whole. Level 1, 2 and 3 inputs are described as follows:

Level 1 – Quoted (unadjusted) market prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date

Level 2 – Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly

Level 3 – Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability

For assets and liabilities that are recognized in the financial statements on a recurring basis, the Group determines whether transfers have occurred between Levels in the hierarchy by re-assessing categorization at the end of each reporting period.

353

English Translation of Financial Statements Originally Issued in Chinese

  • B. Fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s assets and liabilities

The Group does not have assets that are measured at fair value on a non-recurring basis. Fair value measurement hierarchy of the Group’s assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis is as follows:

Diversified development by investments in other companies is expected to increase the Company ' s investment income.

375

V. Investment Policy in the Most Recent Year, Main Causes for the Profits or Losses, Improvement Plans and Investment Plans for the Coming Year

(I) Investment Policy

The Company adheres to the business belief, implements the core values, and uses the Group ' s advantages and resources to create a diversified business. In addition to investing in real estate-related business, including construction management, building management, urban renewal, and set up joint ventures with an internationally renowned real estate company to establish real estate development companies, the Company has expanded to life industries, such as health care management, hotel management, e-commerce, 5G mobile communications, and integrated medical clinic channel system, to creates the Company's diversified income, while regularly reviewing the performance of investment to dispose of investments at high prices so as to realize profits.

(II) Main Causes for Profits or Losses and Improvement Plans

The investment loss recognized under the equity method in 2020 was NT$400 million, mainly for operating losses on the hotel business. In addition, the full-year dividend income from financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income was NT$118 million. The performance improved subsequently as the revenue from the investment in businesses gradually increased.

(III) Investment Plans for the Coming Year

Affected by the global COVID-19 pandemic, the global demand declined, economic growth slowed, unemployment increased, and international financial markets were turbulent. Although governments have rapidly cut interest rates to reduce the interest burden on companies and stabilize the stock market, pandemic prevention and control measures still impacted the local economies of all countries. In the future, the investment plan will be to continue to expand the medical care and health industry and seek targets with good fundamentals and fixed income to reduce investment risks.

1. Health management business

Enhance the service quality of the existing physical examination centers and postpartum care homes, and evaluate the locations for establishment of additional physical examination centers and postpartum care homes in major metropolitan areas. It is expected that the postpartum care homes in Neihu and Hsinchu and the Hsinchu physical examination center will open at the end of 2021 to expand the scale of revenue and provide high-quality and diversified services.

2. Clinic channel business

In view of the increasing public attention to medical care and healthcare needs, the Company will use group resources in the future to build a health insurance clinic channel system and expand comprehensive health services. Last year, a clinic channel was established on Xinyi Road in Taipei City. It is expected to open another one in Hsinchu

376

by the end of 2021.

  1. Hotel business

Improve the service quality and reputation of the existing Minsheng Branch, Taipei, Zhongxiao Branch, Taipei, Ximen Branch, Tainan, Zhongshan Branch, Kaohsiung, of Hotel Cozzi; Courtyard by Marriott Taipei Downtown, and Cozzi Blu in Taoyuan to provide diversified services and improve operating performance.

VI. Assessment of Risk Items in the Most Recent Years and as of the Date of Publication of Annual Report

  • (I) Effects of Changes in Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange Rates and Inflation on Corporate Finance, and Future Response Measures:

  • Interest rates: In response to the global impact of the pandemic in 2020, the Central Bank cut the interest rate by 0.25%, hoping to increase market liquidity and mitigate the impact of the pandemic on our country's economic and trade performance. Looking ahead to 2021, the pandemic is still severe, and whether the interest rate policy of the domestic Central Bank will be adjusted will continue to be observed. However, the interest rate at this stage is at a historically low level, which still provides an incentive for the buying momentum in the real estate market.

  • Exchange rate: The New Taiwan dollar appreciated 5.61% in 2020, and the exchange rate against the U.S. dollar climbed to a record high in nearly 23 years. However, because real estate is mostly domestic demand-oriented, the direct impact of exchange rate changes on real estate is relatively small.

  • Inflation: In 2020, due to the impact of the plunge in international crude oil prices and the impact of the pandemic, and the domestic consumption contraction, the price index decreased by 0.23% a year, which was rarely seen. However, the current domestic control of the pandemic is still appropriate, the inflation is still moderate, and the Company also collects adequate land-related information and raw material prices, so it has little impact on the Company.

  • Raw materials: In addition to the increase in the number of residential construction sites in the six special municipalities in 2020, with the return of overseas Taiwanese businesspeople to expand their factories, and the continuous launch of public projects in various places, the large demand has driven the prices of raw materials and wages to increase, and the costs of construction projects are expected to increase compared with previous years.

  • Countermeasures: The Company closely monitors the development of the economic indicators above, continues to analyze their impact on the real estate market, and evaluates and adjusts its business strategy. In the raw material part, the Company also strictly controls the construction cost, while taking into account the quality and the completion schedule in response to the changes in the overall situation in order to create

377

the maximum operating profit for the Company.

  • (II) Policies, Main Causes of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to High-risk, High-leveraged Investments, Lending or Endorsement Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions

None.

  • (III) Future Research & Development Projects and Corresponding Budget

  • Research Projects

  • Continue the research work of the Cathay Real Estate Index and publish relevant research information at the beginning of each quarter. In addition, in response to the rapid changes in the market, make more efforts in employee training, and strengthen professional education and training, to continue the Company ' s core values, and enhance the Company ' s brand and corporate competitive advantage.

  • Expected Research Expenditure

  • A budget of NT$10.51 million is determined for the professional training of employees and the research of Cathay Real Estate Index.

  • (IV) Effects of and Response to Changes in Policies and Regulations Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales: In addition to complying with government laws and regulations, the Company also collects, organizes and analyzes the changes in important policies and laws at home and abroad to grasp opportunities and take response measures. Meanwhile, the Company also adheres to the principle of prudent operation, and creates the largest niche for sustainable development.

  • (V) Effects of and Response to Changes in Technology and the Industry Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales: The Company explores and adopts the application of technology in the Company’s products in face of the customer demands and ever-changing technology, to continuously enhance the Company’s competitiveness. Meanwhile, the Company invests a lot of manpower and financial resources in research on the changes in the industry to improve the Company’s operating performance and profitability.

  • (VI) The Impact of Changes in Corporate Image on Corporate Risk Management, and the Company’s Response Measures: Since its establishment, the Company has been abided by the tenet of serving the society, benefiting the people, beautifying the environment, and promoting prosperity, and deeply developed the society and established a good corporate image, winning various social honors and affirmations. In addition, the Company has also established a cultural and educational foundation for social welfare activities, enhancing the corporate image.

  • (VII) Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Merger and Acquisition Plans: The Company has no ongoing merger and acquisition activities, so there is no possible risk and response measure.

378

  • (VIII) Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Factory Expansion Plans: The Company has no factory expansion plans, so there is no possible risk and response measure.

  • (IX) Risks Relating to and Response to Excessive Concentration of Purchasing Sources and Excessive Customer Concentration: The Company is a good builder that can keep abreast of various purchase costs, reduce the operational impact brought by rising costs, and prudently appraise, select and audit each project constructor and deliberate the price; the Company also specializes in marketing research, so it can keep abreast of market trends, create the best sales results against most individual customers; there is no centralized risk in purchase and sales.

  • (X) Effects of, Risks Relating to and Response to Large Share Transfers or Changes in Shareholdings by Directors, Supervisors, or Shareholders with Shareholdings of over 10%: the above-mentioned personnel and shareholders all hold the stock equity of the Company for a long term, and they support the Company’s operations, so they do not have the intention of transferring a large number of equities and there is no risk generated.

  • (XI) Effects of, Risks Relating to and Response to the Changes in Management Rights: The Company’s equity structure is stable for a long time, and is managed steadily by professional managers, and there is no risk of change in management rights.

  • (XII) For major ongoing lawsuits, non-lawsuits or administrative lawsuits caused by Directors, Supervisors or shareholders with over 10% shareholdings, the Company, the Company’s Directors, Supervisors or shareholders with over 10% shareholdings and the subsidiaries shall be specified.
