(5) Long-term business development plan
In response to changes in the economic climate and pandemic situation, the Company needs to be wary of receiving orders in the future. On the one hand, it has to carefully select every product mix to increase the gross profit and reduce production and purchase costs, and on the other hand, develop stock cloth into products and actively promote them to enrich the company’s cash flow. With respect to cost control, each department implements a budget based on the annual budget. The differential analysis and improvement should be conducted every quarter, material losses in production and human resource allocation should be improved, and obsolete machinery and equipment should be replaced in a planned way to improve product yields. For spun business development, Chia Her will start a product transformation, make full use of its one-stop factory advantage, and carry out standardized operations to reduce abnormality rates and ensure product profitability. For filament business development, given the current trend of product diversification in the market, it will actively develop new fabrics. In order to retain product profitability while receiving orders, it is necessary to expand the output of the bottom product and reduce the production cost to achieve economic scale, cultivate the adaptability of factory supervisors under market uncertainty, and strengthen cooperation between the factory and the business side to achieve the balance between production and sales. Looking into the future, Chia Her will make an all-out effort to develop new types of textiles, increase research and development capabilities, and cooperate with brand owners in various fields to increase revenue and profitability. In terms of construction business, the Company will dedicate itself to Daying Factory’s completion of each phase of the construction at the Kingkong Smart Park and completion of sales and receiving payments in 2022 and 2023 and getting the planning of Sanshe Factory’s development of idle land under way successively to increase the company’s revenue, improve financial health, and reduce debt ratio.

In accordance with the opinion of the CPA, based on the audit results of the CPA and the audit reports of other CPA (please refer to the other items section), the above Parent Company Only Financial Reports has been prepared in all material respects in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, which is sufficient to fairly express the financial position of CHIA HER Group on December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the financial performance and cash flow from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021.
The basis of the audit opinion
The CPA conducted the audit in accordance with the Rules Governing the Audit of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards. The responsibilities of the CPA under these standards will be further explained in the responsibility section of the accountant's audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Reports. The personnel of the firm to which the CPA belongs who are subject to the independence standards have maintained independence from CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. in accordance with the professional ethics standards for accountants, and have performed other responsibilities under the standards. Based on the audit results of the CPA and the audit reports of other accountants, we believe that sufficient and appropriate audit evidence has been obtained as the basis for expressing our audit opinion.
Other items
The financial statements of certain subsidiaries and affiliates included in the investments accounted for using the equity method of CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. have not been audited by the CPA, but have been audited by other CPAs. Therefore, in the opinion expressed by the CPA on the above Parent Company Only Financial Reports, the amounts listed in the Financial Reports of these subsidiaries and affiliates are based on the audit reports of other CPAs. In addition, investments accounted for using the equity method
16
recognized in these subsidiaries and affiliates accounted for 7.38% and 8.17% of total assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively; and the share of profit or loss of subsidiaries and affiliates and affiliates using the equity method recognized from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021 accounted for 19.03% and 8.11% of net income before tax, respectively.
Key audit items
Key audit items refer to the most important items in the audit of CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.'s Parent Company Only Financial Reports for 2022, based on the professional judgment of the CPA. These items have been addressed during the audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Reports as a whole and the formation of an audit opinion. The CPA does not express a separate opinion on these items. The key audit items that the CPA determines should be communicated in the audit report are as follows:
I. Assessment of impairment of accounts receivable
Please refer to Note 4 (6) Financial Instruments of the Parent Company Only Financial Reports for detailed accounting policies on impairment assessment of accounts receivable; please refer to Note 5 (1) to the Parent Company Only Financial Reports for details of the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions for impairment assessment of accounts receivable; please refer to Note 6 (3) to the Parent Company Only Financial Reports on notes receivable and accounts receivable for an explanation of the impairment assessment of accounts receivable.
Explanation of key audit items:
The customers of CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.'s textile manufacturing business are downstream clothing and other home textile fabric merchants in the textile industry. Its operations are deeply affected by the fluctuations in industrial prosperity, and the payment terms for major customers' accounts receivable are approximately 30-120 days per month. Therefore, the assessment of accounts receivable impairment is subject to significant subjective judgment by the company management. Therefore, the impairment assessment of accounts receivable is one of the important evaluation items for the CPA's audit of CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.'s Parent Company Only Financial Reports.
Corresponding audit procedures:
The CPA's main audit procedures for the key audit items mentioned above include:
-
Review accounts receivable aging reports, analyze changes in accounts receivable aging, and execute sampling procedures to check the accuracy of accounts receivable aging reports.
-
Review the collection situation of accounts receivable after the payment period, and understand how the management assesses the possibility of recovery for overdue accounts receivable that have not yet been received and have not included expected credit losses, in order to assess the rationality of the Company's expected credit loss provision for accounts receivable.
-
Review the accuracy of the Company's provision for impairment of accounts receivable in the past, and compare it with the expected credit loss of accounts receivable estimated in the current period to assess whether the current
17
estimation method and assumptions are appropriate.
-
Assess whether the disclosure of expected credit losses related to accounts receivable by the Company is appropriate.
-
II. Inventory evaluation
Please refer to Note 4 (7) to the Parent Company Only Financial Reports for detailed accounting policies related to inventory evaluation; please refer to Note 5 (2) to the Parent Company Only Financial Reports for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions of the net realizable value of inventory evaluation; please refer to Note 6 (5) to the Parent Company Only Financial Reports for an explanation of the net realizable value evaluation of inventory evaluation.
Explanation of key audit items:
CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.'s inventory is measured based on the lower of cost and net realizable value. The textile manufacturing business operated by the Company belongs to the textile industry's downstream fabric suppliers in civilian-oriented industry, and product prices are deeply affected by market fluctuations, resulting in the risk that the cost of generating inventory may exceed its net realizable value. Therefore, inventory evaluation is one of the important evaluation items for the CPA in conducting the audit of CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.'s Parent Company Only Financial Reports.
Corresponding audit procedures:
The CPA's main audit procedures for the key audit items mentioned above include:
-
Understand the sales prices adopted by the management of the Company and the changes in future inventory market prices to assess the reasonableness of the net realizable value of inventory, and implement sampling procedures to check the accuracy of the inventory net realizable value detailed statement.
-
Review the inventory age report, analyze the changes in inventory age for each period, and execute sampling procedures to check the accuracy of the inventory age table.
-
Review the accuracy of the Company's past provision for inventory allowances to assess whether the current valuation method and assumptions are appropriate.
-
Assess whether the disclosure of inventory allowance related information by the Company is appropriate.
III. Evaluation of investment real estate
Please refer to Note 4 (10) Investment Real Estate to the Parent Company Only Financial Reports for the detailed accounting policies related to the evaluation of investment real estate; please refer to Note 5 (3) to the Parent Company Only Financial Reports for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions about the evaluation of investment real estate; please refer to Note 6 (10) Investment Real Estate to the Parent Company Only Financial Reports for the description of the fair value of investment real estate evaluation.
Explanation of key audit items:
The subsequent measurement of the investment real estate of CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. adopts the fair value model, and the management entrusts
18
external real estate appraisers to perform the evaluation of the investment real estate. Because the complexity of the evaluation method and the input value information are unobservable information, the fair value may have a risk of false expression. Therefore, the evaluation of the investment real estate is one of the important evaluation items for the CPA to perform the audit of the Consolidated Financial Reports of CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.
Corresponding audit procedures:
The CPA's main audit procedures for the key audit items mentioned above include:
-
Assess the qualifications and independence of external real estate appraisers appointed by the Company.
-
Appoint financial management experts to inspect the applicability of the evaluation method and the rationality of the evaluation trial process, the rationality of the main assumptions or input values (such as discount rate, expected market rent growth rate and return capitalization rate) in the evaluation method, and whether there are significant differences from the previous period.
-
Understand whether there is a reasonable basis for the assumptions, estimates, and parameters used in the valuation report, and whether there are significant differences from the previous period.
-
Assess whether the disclosure of investment real estate related information by the Company is appropriate.
Responsibilities of management and governance units for Parent Company Only
Financial Reports
The responsibility of the management is to prepare fairly presented Parent Company Only Financial Reports in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and to maintain such internal control relevant to the preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Reports as is necessary to enable the preparation of Parent Company Only Financial Reports that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
When preparing the Parent Company Only Financial Reports, the responsibility of the manager also includes evaluating the ability of CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. to continue operations, disclosing relevant items, and adopting the accounting basis for continuing operations, unless the manager intends to liquidate CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.or cease operations, or there is no practical alternative to liquidation or cessation of operations.
The governance unit (including the audit committee) of CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. is responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.
Responsibility of CPA to audit Parent Company Only Financial Reports
The purpose of the CPA's audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Reports is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether there are any material false expressions caused by fraud or error in the Parent Company Only Financial Reports as a whole, and to issue an audit report. Reasonable assurance is a high degree of assurance, but the audit work carried out in accordance with auditing standards cannot guarantee the detection of significant false expressions in the Parent Company Only Financial Reports. False expressions may be due to
19
fraud or error. If an individual amount or total amount that is not truthfully expressed can reasonably be expected to affect the economic decisions made by users of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements, it is considered significant.
The CPA uses professional judgment and suspicion when conducting audits in accordance with auditing standards. The CPA also performs the following tasks:
-
(1) Identify and assess the risk of significant false expressions in the Parent Company Only Financial Reports due to fraud or error; Design and implement appropriate response strategies for the assessed risks; And obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis for the audit opinion. Since fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentation or overstepping internal control, the risk of not detecting material misrepresentation resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error.
-
(2) Obtain the necessary understanding of the internal control related to the audit to design the appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, but the purpose is not to express opinions on the effectiveness of CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.'s internal control.
-
(3) Assess the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted by manager, as well as the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made.
-
(4) Based on the audit evidence obtained, make a conclusion on the appropriateness of the manager's adoption of the going concern accounting basis, and whether there are significant uncertainties in the events or circumstances that may cause major doubts about the ability of CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. to continue its operations. If the CPA believe that there is a significant uncertainty in these events or situations, he or she must remind the users of the Parent Company Only Financial Reports to pay attention to the relevant disclosure of the Parent Company Only Financial Reports in the audit report, or amend the audit opinion when the disclosure is not appropriate. The conclusion of the CPA is based on the audit evidence obtained as of the audit report date. However, future events or circumstances may result in CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. no longer having the ability to continue operating.
-
(5) Assess the overall expression, structure and content of Parent Company Only Financial Reports ( including related notes), and whether Parent Company Only Financial Reports are appropriate to express related transactions and events.
-
(6) Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for the financial information of investees using equity method to express opinions on the Parent Company Only Financial Reports. The CPA is responsible for the guidance, supervision and implementation of the audit cases, and is responsible for forming the CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.'s verification opinions.
The items communicated between the CPA and the governance unit include the planned audit scope and time, and major audit findings (including significant deficiencies in internal control identified in the audit process).
The CPA also provides the governing unit with the statement that the personnel of the accounting firm subject to the independence standards have complied with the professional
20
ethics standards for CPAs on independence, and communicates with the governing unit on all relationships and other items (including relevant protective measures) that may be considered to affect the independence of CPAs.
The CPA has decided on the key audit items for the audit of CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD.'s 2022 Parent Company Only Financial Reports based on communication with the governance unit. The CPA specifies these items in the audit report, unless laws and regulations prohibit the public disclosure of specific items, or in extremely rare circumstances, the CPA decides not to communicate specific items in the audit report, as it can be reasonably expected that the negative impact of such communication will be greater than the public interest it enhances.

In accordance with the opinion of the CPA, based on the audit results of the CPA and the audit reports of other CPA (please refer to the other items section), the above Consolidated Financial Reports has been prepared in all material respects in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, Interpretations and Explanatory Notes approved and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission, which is sufficient to fairly express the consolidated financial position of CHIA HER Group on December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flow from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021.
The basis of the audit opinion
The CPA conducts the audit work in accordance with the rules for auditing and certifying Financial Statements and auditing standards. The responsibilities of the CPA under these standards will be further explained in the responsibility section of the CPA's audit of the Consolidated Financial Reports. The personnel of the firm to which the CPA belongs who are subject to the independence standards have maintained independence from CHIA HER Group in accordance with the professional ethics standards for CPAs, and have performed other responsibilities under the standards. Based on the audit results of the CPA and the audit reports of other CPAs, we believe that sufficient and appropriate audit evidence has been obtained as the basis for expressing our audit opinion.
Other items
Some of the subsidiaries and affiliates included in the Consolidated Financial Reports of CHIA HER Group have not been audited by the CPA, but have been audited by other CAPs. Therefore, in our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Reports, the amounts listed in the Financial Reports of these subsidiaries and affiliates are based on the audit reports of other
26
CPAs. The total assets of the aforementioned subsidiaries on December 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively accounted for 3.05% and 5.55% of the total consolidated assets, and the net operating revenue from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021 respectively accounted for 0.49% and 0.44% of the total consolidated operating revenue. In addition, investments accounted for using the equity method recognized in these affiliates accounted for 3.26% and 2.71% of total consolidated assets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively; and the share of profit or loss of affiliates using the equity method recognized from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021 accounted for 37.70% and 30.25% of consolidated net income before tax, respectively.
CHIA HER INDUSTRIAL CO., LTD. has prepared Financial Reports of the parent company only for 2022 and 2021, and has issued an unqualified opinion and an audit report on other items and paragraphs by the CPA for reference.
Key audit items
Key audit items refer to the most important items in the audit of CHIA HER Group's Consolidated Financial Reports for 2022, based on the professional judgment of the CPA. These items have been addressed during the audit of the Consolidated Financial Reports as a whole and the formation of an audit opinion. The CPA does not express a separate opinion on these items. The key audit items that the CPA determines should be communicated in the audit report are as follows:
- I. Assessment of impairment of accounts receivable
Please refer to Note 4 (7) Financial Instruments of the Consolidated Financial Reports for detailed accounting policies on impairment assessment of accounts receivable; please refer to Note 5 (1) to the Consolidated Financial Reports for details of the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions for impairment assessment of accounts receivable; please refer to Note 6 (3) to the Consolidated Financial Reports on notes receivable and accounts receivable for an explanation of the impairment assessment of accounts receivable.
Explanation of key audit items:
The customers of CHIA HER Group's textile manufacturing business are downstream clothing and other home textile fabric merchants in the textile industry. Its operations are deeply affected by the fluctuations in industrial prosperity, and the payment terms for major customers' accounts receivable are approximately 30-120 days per month. Therefore, the assessment of accounts receivable impairment is subject to significant subjective judgment by the group management. Therefore, the impairment assessment of accounts receivable is one of the important evaluation items for the CPA's audit of CHIA HER Group's Consolidated Financial Reports.
Corresponding audit procedures:
The CPA's main audit procedures for the key audit items mentioned above include:
- Review accounts receivable aging reports, analyze changes in accounts
27
receivable aging, and execute sampling procedures to check the accuracy of accounts receivable aging reports.
-
Review the collection situation of accounts receivable after the payment period, and understand how the management assesses the possibility of recovery for overdue accounts receivable that have not yet been received and have not included expected credit losses, in order to assess the rationality of CHIA HER Group's expected credit loss provision for accounts receivable.
-
Review the accuracy of CHIA HER Group's provision for impairment of accounts receivable in the past, and compare it with the expected credit loss of accounts receivable estimated in the current period to assess whether the current estimation method and assumptions are appropriate.
-
Assess whether the disclosure of expected credit losses related to accounts receivable by CHIA HER Group is appropriate.
II. Inventory evaluation
Please refer to Note 4 (8) to the Consolidated Financial Reports for detailed accounting policies related to inventory evaluation; please refer to Note 5 (2) to the Consolidated Financial Reports for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions of the net realizable value of inventory evaluation; please refer to Note 6 (5) to the Consolidated Financial Reports for an explanation of the net realizable value evaluation of inventory evaluation.
Explanation of key audit items:
CHIA HER Group's inventory is measured based on the lower of cost and net realizable value. The textile manufacturing business operated by the Group belongs to the textile industry's downstream fabric suppliers in civilian-oriented industry, and product prices are deeply affected by market fluctuations, resulting in the risk that the cost of generating inventory may exceed its net realizable value. Therefore, inventory evaluation is one of the important evaluation items for the CPA in conducting the audit of CHIA HER Group's Consolidated Financial Reports.
Corresponding audit procedures:
The CPA's main audit procedures for the key audit items mentioned above include:
-
Understand the sales prices adopted by the management of CHIA HER Group and the changes in future inventory market prices to assess the reasonableness of the net realizable value of inventory, and implement sampling procedures to check the accuracy of the inventory net realizable value detailed statement.
-
Review the inventory age report, analyze the changes in inventory age for each period, and execute sampling procedures to check the accuracy of the inventory age table.
-
Review the accuracy of CHIA HER Group's past provision for inventory allowances to assess whether the current valuation method and assumptions are appropriate.
28
-
Assess whether the disclosure of inventory allowance related information by CHIA HER Group is appropriate.
-
III. Evaluation of investment real estate
Please refer to Note 4 (10) Investment Real Estate to the Consolidated Financial Reports for the detailed accounting policies related to the evaluation of investment real estate; please refer to Note 5 (3) to the Consolidated Financial Reports for the uncertainty of accounting estimates and assumptions about the evaluation of investment real estate; please refer to Note 6 (10) Investment Real Estate to the Consolidated Financial Reports for the description of the fair value of investment real estate evaluation. Explanation of key audit items:
The subsequent measurement of the investment real estate of CHIA HER Group adopts the fair value model, and the management entrusts external real estate appraisers to perform the evaluation of the investment real estate. Because the complexity of the evaluation method and the input value information are unobservable information, the fair value may have a risk of false expression. Therefore, the evaluation of the investment real estate is one of the important evaluation items for the CPA to perform the audit of the Consolidated Financial Reports of CHIA HER Group.
Corresponding audit procedures:
The CPA's main audit procedures for the key audit items mentioned above include:
-
Assess the qualifications and independence of external real estate appraisers appointed by CHIA HER Group.
-
Appoint financial management experts to inspect the applicability of the evaluation method and the rationality of the evaluation trial process, the rationality of the main assumptions or input values (such as discount rate, expected market rent growth rate and return capitalization rate) in the evaluation method, and whether there are significant differences from the previous period.
-
Understand whether there is a reasonable basis for the assumptions, estimates, and parameters used in the valuation report, and whether there are significant differences from the previous period.
-
Assess whether the disclosure of investment real estate evaluation related information by CHIA HER Group is appropriate.
Responsibilities of management and governance units for Consolidated Financial Reports
The manager's responsibility is to prepare properly expressed Consolidated Reports in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Consolidated Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standard, and their interpretations and interpretation announcements recognized and issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and to maintain the necessary internal control related to the preparation of Consolidated Financial Statements, so as to ensure that there is no material false expressions in the Consolidated
29
Financial Reports, which is due to fraud or error.
When preparing the Consolidated Financial Reports, the responsibility of the manager also includes evaluating the ability of CHIA HER Group to continue operations, disclosing relevant items, and adopting the accounting basis for continuing operations, unless the manager intends to liquidate CHIA HER Group or cease operations, or there is no practical alternative to liquidation or cessation of operations.
The governance unit (including the audit committee) of CHIA HER Group is responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.
Responsibility of CPA to Audit Consolidated Financial Reports
The purpose of the CPA's audit of the Consolidated Financial Reports is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether there are any material false expressions caused by fraud or error in the Consolidated Financial Reports as a whole, and to issue an audit report. Reasonable assurance is a high degree of assurance, but the audit work carried out in accordance with auditing standards cannot guarantee the detection of significant false expressions in the Consolidated Financial Reports. False expressions may be due to fraud or error. If an individual amount or total amount that is not truthfully expressed can reasonably be expected to affect the economic decisions made by users of the Consolidated Financial Statements, it is considered significant.
The CPA uses professional judgment and suspicion when conducting audits in accordance with auditing standards. The CPA also performs the following tasks:
-
(1) Identify and assess the risk of significant false expressions in the Consolidated Financial Reports due to fraud or error; Design and implement appropriate response strategies for the assessed risks; And obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis for the audit opinion. Since fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, misrepresentation or overstepping internal control, the risk of not detecting material misrepresentation resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error.
-
(2) Obtain the necessary understanding of the internal control related to the audit to design the appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, but the purpose is not to express opinions on the effectiveness of CHIA HER Group's internal control.
-
(3) Assess the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted by manager, as well as the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made.
-
(4) Based on the audit evidence obtained, make a conclusion on the appropriateness of the manager's adoption of the going concern accounting basis, and whether there are significant uncertainties in the events or circumstances that may cause major doubts about the ability of CHIA HER Group to continue its operations. If the CPA believe that there is a significant uncertainty in these events or situations, he or she must remind the users of the Consolidated Financial Reports to pay attention to the relevant disclosure of the Consolidated Financial Reports in the audit report, or amend the audit opinion when the disclosure is not appropriate. The conclusion of the CPA is based on the audit evidence obtained as of the audit report date.
30
However, future events or circumstances may result in CHIA HER Group no longer having the ability to continue operating.
-
(5) Assess the overall expression, structure and content of Consolidated Financial Reports ( including related notes ), and whether Consolidated Financial Reports are appropriate to express related transactions and events.
-
(6) Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for the financial information of the parent company only within the group to express opinions on the Consolidated Financial Reports. The CPA is responsible for the guidance, supervision and implementation of the Group's audit cases, and is responsible for forming the Group's verification opinions.
The items communicated between the CPA and the governance unit include the planned audit scope and time, and major audit findings (including significant deficiencies in internal control identified in the audit process).
The CPA also provides the governing unit with the statement that the personnel of the accounting firm subject to the independence standards have complied with the professional ethics standards for CPAs on independence, and communicates with the governing unit on all relationships and other items (including relevant protective measures) that may be considered to affect the independence of CPAs.
The CPA has decided on the key audit items for the audit of CHIA HER Group's 2022 Consolidated Financial Reports based on communication with the governance unit. The CPA specifies these items in the audit report, unless laws and regulations prohibit the public disclosure of specific items, or in extremely rare circumstances, the CPA decides not to communicate specific items in the audit report, as it can be reasonably expected that the negative impact of such communication will be greater than the public interest it enhances.

-
(5) The reasons for the increase in net profit before tax are the same as described in item (3).
38
-
(6) The increase in income tax expense was mainly due to the increase in recognition of income tax on the fair value adjustment.

7. Long-term business development plan
In response to changes in the economic climate and pandemic situation, the Company needs to be wary of receiving orders in the future. On the one hand, it must carefully select every product mix to increase the gross profit and reduce production and purchase costs, and on the other hand, develop stock cloth into products and actively promote them to enrich the company’s cash flow. With respect to cost control, each department will implement its budget based on the annual budget. The differential analysis and improvement should be conducted every quarter, material losses in production and human resource allocation should be improved, and obsolete machinery and equipment should be replaced in a planned way to improve product yields. For spun business development, Chia Her will start a product transformation, make full use of its one-stop factory advantage, and carry out standardized operations to reduce abnormality rates and ensure product profitability. For filament business development, given the current trend of product diversification in the market, it will actively develop new fabrics. In order to retain product profitability while receiving orders, it will be
56
necessary to expand the output of the bottom product and reduce the production cost to achieve economic scale, cultivate the adaptability of factory supervisors under market uncertainty, and strengthen cooperation between the factory and the business side to achieve the balance between production and sales. Looking into the future, Chia Her will make an all-out effort to develop new types of textiles, increase research and development capabilities, and cooperate with brand owners in various fields to increase revenue and profitability. In terms of construction business, the Company will dedicate itself to Daying Factory’s completion of each phase of the construction at the Kingkong Smart Park and completion of sales and receiving payments in 2022 and 2023 and getting the planning of Sanshe Factory’s development of idle land under way successively to increase the company’s revenue, improve financial health, and reduce debt ratio.

When the chairperson of the board is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the chairperson, the vice chairperson shall act in place of the chairperson; if there is no vice chairperson or the vice chairperson also is on leave or for any reason unable to exercise the powers of the vice chairperson, the chairperson shall appoint one of the managing directors to act as chair, or, if there are no managing directors, one of the directors shall be appointed to act as chair.

When a managing director or a director serves as chair, as referred to in the preceding paragraph, the managing director or director shall be one who has held that position for six months or more and who understands the financial and business conditions of the company. The same shall be true for a representative of a juristic person director that serves as chair.
It is advisable that shareholders’ meetings convened by the board of directors be chaired by the chairperson of the board in person and attended by a majority of the directors, at least one independent director in person, and at least one member of each functional committee on behalf of the committee. The attendance shall be recorded in the meeting minutes.
If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by a party with power to convene but other than the board of directors, the convening party shall chair the meeting. When there are two or more such convening parties, they shall mutually select a chair from among themselves. The Company may appoint its attorneys, certified public accountants, or related persons retained by it to attend a shareholders’ meeting in a non-voting capacity.
Article 8 (Documentation of a shareholders’ meeting by audio or video)
The Company, beginning from the time it accepts shareholder attendance registrations, shall make an uninterrupted audio and video recording of the registration procedure, the proceedings of the shareholders’ meeting, and the voting and vote counting procedures. The recorded materials of the preceding paragraph shall be retained for at least one year. If, however, a shareholder files a lawsuit pursuant to Article 189 of the Company Act, the recording shall be retained until the conclusion of the litigation. Where a shareholders’ meeting is held online, the Company shall keep records of shareholder registration, sign-in, check-in, questions raised, votes cast and results of votes counted by the Company, and continuously audio and video record, without interruption, the proceedings of the virtual meeting from beginning to end. The information and audio and video recording in the preceding paragraph shall be properly kept by the Company during the entirety of its existence, and copies of the audio and video recording shall be provided to and kept by the party appointed to handle matters of the virtual meeting.
In case of a virtual shareholders’ meeting, the Company is advised to audio and video record the back-end operation interface of the virtual meeting platform.
Article 9
Attendance at shareholders’ meetings shall be calculated based on numbers of shares. The number of shares in attendance shall be calculated according to the shares indicated by the attendance book and sign-in cards handed in, and the shares checked in on the virtual meeting platform, plus the number of shares whose voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronically.
The chair shall call the meeting to order at the appointed meeting time and disclose information concerning the number of nonvoting shares and number of shares represented by shareholders attending the meeting.
However, when the attending shareholders do not represent a majority of the total number
69
of issued shares, the chair may announce a postponement, provided that no more than two such postponements, for a combined total of no more than one hour, may be made. If the quorum is not met after two postponements and the attending shareholders still represent less than one third of the total number of issued shares, the chair shall declare the meeting adjourned. In the event of a virtual shareholders’ meeting, the Company shall also declare the meeting adjourned at the virtual meeting platform.
If the quorum is not met after two postponements as referred to in the preceding paragraph, but the attending shareholders represent one third or more of the total number of issued shares, a tentative resolution may be adopted pursuant to Article 175, paragraph 1 of the Company Act; all shareholders shall be notified of the tentative resolution and another shareholders’ meeting shall be convened within one month. In the event of a virtual shareholders’ meeting, shareholders intending to attend the meeting online shall re-register to the Company in accordance with Article 6.
When, prior to conclusion of the meeting, the attending shareholders represent a majority of the total number of issued shares, the chair may resubmit the tentative resolution for a vote by the shareholders’ meeting pursuant to Article 174 of the Company Act.
Article 10 (Discussion of proposals)
If a shareholders’ meeting is convened by the board of directors, the meeting agenda shall be set by the board of directors. The meeting shall proceed in the order set by the agenda, which may not be changed without a resolution of the shareholders’ meeting. The provisions of the preceding paragraph apply mutatis mutandis to a shareholders’ meeting convened by a party with the power to convene that is not the board of directors. The chair may not declare the meeting adjourned prior to completion of deliberation on the meeting agenda of the preceding two paragraphs (including extempore motion), except by a resolution of the shareholders’ meeting. If the chair declares the meeting adjourned in violation of the rules of procedure, the other members of the board of directors shall promptly assist the attending shareholders in electing a new chair in accordance with statutory procedures, by agreement of a majority of the votes represented by the attending shareholders, and then continue the meeting.
The chair shall allow ample opportunity during the meeting for explanation and discussion of proposals and of amendments or extempore motion put forward by the shareholders; when the chair is of the opinion that a proposal has been discussed sufficiently to put it to a vote, the chair may announce the discussion closed, and call for a vote.
Article 11 (Shareholder speech)
Before speaking, an attending shareholder must specify on a speaker’s slip the subject of the speech, his/her shareholder account number (or attendance card number), and account name. The order in which shareholders speak will be set by the chair. A shareholder in attendance who has submitted a speaker’s slip but does not actually speak shall be deemed to have not spoken. When the content of the speech does not correspond to the subject given on the speaker’s slip, the spoken content shall prevail. Except with the consent of the chair, a shareholder may not speak more than twice on the same proposal, and a single speech may not exceed 5 minutes. If the shareholder’s speech violates the rules or exceeds the scope of the agenda item, the chair may terminate the speech.
When an attending shareholder is speaking, other shareholders may not speak or interrupt unless they have sought and obtained the consent of the chair and the shareholder that has the floor; the chair shall stop any violation.
When a juristic person shareholder appoints two or more representatives to attend a shareholders meeting, only one of the representatives so appointed may speak on the same proposal.
After an attending shareholder has spoken, the chair may respond in person or direct relevant personnel to respond.
70
Where a virtual shareholders’ meeting is convened, shareholders attending the virtual meeting online may raise questions in writing at the virtual meeting platform from the chair declaring the meeting open until the chair declaring the meeting adjourned. No more than two questions for the same proposal may be raised. Each question shall contain no more than 200 words. The regulations in paragraphs 1 to 5 do not apply.
As long as questions so raised in accordance with the preceding paragraph are not in violation of the regulations or beyond the scope of a proposal, it is advisable the questions be disclosed to the public at the virtual meeting platform.
Article 12 (Calculation of voting shares and recusal system)
Voting at a shareholders’ meeting shall be calculated based the number of shares. With respect to resolutions of shareholders’ meetings, the number of shares held by a shareholder with no voting rights shall not be calculated as part of the total number of issued shares.
When a shareholder is an interested party in relation to an agenda item, and there is the likelihood that such a relationship would prejudice the interests of the Company, that shareholder may not vote on that item, and may not exercise voting rights as proxy for any other shareholder.
The number of shares for which voting rights may not be exercised under the preceding paragraph shall not be calculated as part of the voting rights represented by attending shareholders.
With the exception of a trust enterprise or a shareholder services agent approved by the competent securities authority, when one person is concurrently appointed as proxy by two or more shareholders, the voting rights represented by that proxy may not exceed three percent of the voting rights represented by the total number of issued shares. If that percentage is exceeded, the voting rights in excess of that percentage shall not be included in the calculation.
Article 13
A shareholder shall be entitled to one vote for each share held, except when the shares are restricted shares or are deemed non-voting shares under Article 179, paragraph 2 of the Company Act.
When the Company holds a shareholders’ meeting, it may adopt exercise of voting rights by correspondence or electronic means (Companies whose shareholders shall exercise their voting power by way of electronic transmission under the proviso to Article 177-1, Paragraph 1 of the Company Act: When the Company holds a shareholders’ meeting, it shall adopt exercise of voting rights by electronic means and may adopt exercise of voting rights by correspondence.). When voting rights are exercised by correspondence or electronic means, the method of exercise shall be specified in the shareholders meeting notice. A shareholder exercising voting rights by correspondence or electronic means will be deemed to have attended the meeting in person. But to have waived his/her rights with respect to the extempore motion and amendments to original proposals of that meeting; it is therefore advisable that the Company avoid the submission of extempore motion and amendments to original proposals.
A shareholder intending to exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means under the preceding paragraph shall deliver a written declaration of intent to the Company before two days before the date of the shareholders meeting. When duplicate declarations of intent are delivered, the one received earliest shall prevail, except when a declaration is made to cancel the earlier declaration of intent.
After a shareholder has exercised voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, in the event the shareholder intends to attend the shareholders’ meeting in person or online, a written declaration of intent to retract the voting rights already exercised under the preceding paragraph shall be made known to the Company, by the same means by which the voting rights were exercised, before two business days before the date of the
71
shareholders’ meeting. If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail. When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders’ meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.
Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the Company’s Articles of Incorporation, the passage of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders. At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chair or a person designated by the chair shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.
When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chair shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote. When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.
Vote monitoring and counting personnel for the voting on a proposal shall be appointed by the chair, provided that all monitoring personnel shall be shareholders of the Company. Vote counting for shareholders’ meeting proposals or elections shall be conducted in public at the place of the shareholders’ meeting. Immediately after vote counting has been completed, the results of the voting, including the statistical tallies of the numbers of votes, shall be announced on-site at the meeting, and a record made of the vote.
When the Company convenes a virtual shareholders’ meeting, after the chair declares the meeting open, shareholders attending the meeting online shall cast votes on proposals and elections on the virtual meeting platform before the chair announces the voting session ends or will be deemed abstained from voting.
In the event of a virtual shareholders’ meeting, votes shall be counted at once after the chair announces the voting session ends, and results of votes and elections shall be announced immediately.
When the Company convenes a hybrid shareholders’ meeting, if shareholders who have registered to attend the meeting online in accordance with Article 6 decide to attend the physical shareholders’ meeting in person, they shall revoke their registration two days before the shareholders’ meeting in the same manner as they registered. If their registration is not revoked within the time limit, they may only attend the shareholders meeting online.
When shareholders exercise voting rights by correspondence or electronic means, unless they have withdrawn the declaration of intent and attended the shareholders meeting online, except for extempore motion, they will not exercise voting rights on the original proposals or make any amendments to the original proposals or exercise voting rights on amendments to the original proposal.
