Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Eastern Media International Corporation:
Opinion
We have audited the parent Company only financial statements of Eastern Media International Corporation(“the Company”), which comprise parent Company only the balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the parent Company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent Company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying parent Company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent Company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its parent Company only financial performance and its parent Company only cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers. 台北市 KPMG 68F., TAIPEI 101 TOWER, No. 7, Sec. 5, Xinyi Road, Taipei City 110615, Taiwan (R.O.C.)110615信義路5段7號68樓(台北101大樓) Internet Fax Telephone 網址傳真電話 home.kpmg/tw+ 886 2 8101 6667+ 886 2 8101 6666 Basis for Opinion KPMG, a Taiwan partnership and a member firm of the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.
We conducted our audit of the parent Company only financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Furthermore, we conducted our audit of the parent Company only financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. 1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and the 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 Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (" the Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Other Matter
We did not audit the parent Company only financial statements of partial companies associates of the Company, which represented investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for partial companies, is based solely on the report of other auditors. The investment in partial companies accounted for using the equity method constituting 17.81% and 0.24% of total assets at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the related share of profit of subsidiaries and associates for using the equity method constituting (7.01)% and (8.47)% of total profit before tax for the years then ended, respectively.

Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent Company only financial statements of the current period. 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.
1. Revenue recognition
Please refer to Note 4(o) "Revenue recognition" for accounting policy related to revenue recognition, and Note 6(r) "Revenue from contracts with customers" to the parent Company only financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Major of the operating revenue sources of the Company is the services of warehousing amounted to $1,338,004 thousand, constituting 100.00% of its Company revenue. The impact of revenue recognition on financial report is significant. Therefore, revenue recognition is one of the key matters in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In response to the risk mentioned above, we planned to perform the following audit procedures: understanding the sales and collection cycle, and sampling to test the effectiveness of manual control and internal control. Additionally, we would perform test of detail on revenue of warehousing; as well as perform sales cut off test on the periods before and after the balance sheet date by inspecting relevant documents of sales transactions to determine whether sales had been appropriately recognized.
2. The investments accounted of using equity method impairment
Please refer to Note 4(m) “ Impairment of non-financial assets” for accounting policy related to the investments accounted of using equity method impairment, and Note 6(g) "Investments accounted for using equity method" to the parent Company only financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
The investments accounted of using equity method of the Company constituted 40% of its parent Company only assets. The evaluation of the impairment on December 31 is significant to the parent Company only financial statements. There are risks that the assumption of the financial performance and cash flows related to the Company’s subsidiaries and associates which Management uses remains a highly uncertainty. This risk may affect the recoverability of the asset mentioned above. Therefore, the evaluation of the investments accounted of using equity method impairment is one of the key matters in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In response to the risk mentioned above, we planned to perform the following audit procedures: obtaining the information on which the management relied to make assumptions and evaluations for the report made by external expert; engaging evaluation experts to assess the appropriateness of the evaluation methods and assumptions used by them, including the discount rate and the forecast of future cash flows; comparing the forecasted and historical data, past forecasts and actual conditions; evaluating the reasonableness of past management’s estimates.
12
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 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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent Company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent Company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent Company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent Company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent Company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent Company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
13
- Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on the parent Company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent Company only financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Shih-Chin Chih and Chung-Che Chen.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Eastern Media International Corporation:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Eastern Media International Corporation and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other auditors (please refer to Other Matter paragraph), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“ IFRSs” ), International Accounting Standards (“ IASs” ), Interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee (“ IFRIC” ) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Furthermore, we conducted our audit of the consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2019 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants, Rule No. 1090360805 issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and the 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 Group in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in Republic of China (" the Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. Based on our audits and the reports of other auditors, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained, is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Other Matter
We did not audit the financial statements of partial companies, associates of the Group, which represented investments in other entities accounted for using the equity method. Those statements were audited by other auditors, whose reports have been furnished to us, and our opinion, insofar as it relates to the amounts included for partial companies, is based solely on the reports of other auditors. The investments in partial companies accounted for using the equity method constituting 12.03% and 0.17% of consolidated total assets at December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, and the related share of profit of associates accounted for using the equity method constituting (7.26)% and (4.55)% of consolidated total profit before tax for the years then ended, respectively.
KPMG, a Taiwan partnership and a member firm of the KPMG global organization of independent member firms affiliated with KPMG International Limited, a private English company limited by guarantee.
21
Eastern Media International Corporation has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, on which we have issued an unqualified opinion with other matters paragraph and unqualified opinion with emphasis paragraph and other matter paragraph respectively.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. 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.
1. Revenue recognition
Please refer to Note 4(s) "Revenue recognition" for accounting policy related to revenue recognition, and Note 6(z) "Revenue from contracts with customers from continuing operation" to the consolidated financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Major of the operating revenue sources of the Group are the services of warehousing, media advertising, and pet merchandise sales. The impact of revenue recognition on financial report is significant. Therefore, revenue recognition is one of the key matters in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In response to the risk mentioned above, we planned to perform the following audit procedures: understanding the sales and collection cycle, and sampling to test the effectiveness of manual control and internal control. Additionally, we would perform test of detail on revenue; as well as perform sales cut off test on the periods before and after the balance sheet date by inspecting relevant documents of sales transactions to determine whether sales had been appropriately recognized.
2. Right-of-use assets impairment
Please refer to Note 4(o) "Leases " and Note 4(q) “Impairment of non-financial assets” for accounting policy related to right-of-use assets impairment, and Note 6(m) " Right-of-use assets" to the consolidated financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
The right-of-use assets of the Group constituted 44.45% of its consolidated assets. The assets mentioned above is likely to be influenced by the government policies and economic environments, which may result in the recoverability of the assets valued with discounted cash flow to be highly uncertain. Therefore, right-ofuse assets impairment is one of the key matters in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In response to the risk mentioned above, we have performed the following audit procedures: evaluating the consistency of discounted cash flow and the future operating plans; verifying the assumptions made by the management according to (i) external information, (ii) understanding of the Group, and (iii) relative business information; evaluating the ratios such as the growth rate, discount rate, gross profit rate, etc. to determine whether they were adopted properly.
22
- The investments accounted of using equity method impairment
Please refer to Note 4(m) " Investment in associates " and Note 4(q) “Impairment of non-financial assets” for accounting policy related to the investments accounted of using equity method impairment, and Note 6(h) " investments accounted for using equity method " to the consolidated financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
The investments accounted of using equity method of the Group amounted to $2,443,035 thousand, constituting 15.06% of its consolidated assets. The evaluation of the impairment on December 31 is significant to the consolidated financial statements. There are risks that the assumption of the financial performance and cash flows related to the Group’s associates which Management uses remains a highly uncertainty. This risk may affect the recoverability of the asset mentioned above. Therefore, the evaluation of the investments accounted of using equity method impairment is one of the key matters in our audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
In response to the risk mentioned above, we planned to perform the following audit procedures: obtaining the information on which the management relied to make assumptions and evaluations for the report made by external expert; engaging evaluation experts to assess the appropriateness of the evaluation methods and assumptions used by them, including the discount rate and the forecast of future cash flows; comparing the forecasted and historical data, past forecasts and actual conditions; evaluating the reasonableness of past management’s estimates.
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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the IFRSs, IASs, IFRIC, SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
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 the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
23
As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor’s report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the group financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
24
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Shih-Chin Chih and Chung-Che Chen.

Proposed Resolutions
Proposal 3 Proposal: To vote on the proposal of cash capital reduction
proposed by Board of Directors
-
Explanatory Note: 1. The motive behind cash capital reduction: To increase the returns on shareholders’ equity and earnings per share, the Company plans to apply cash capital reduction and return partial shares back to the shareholders.
-
Cash capital reduction amount: It is proposed to make a cash capital reduction with an amount of NT$ 278,394,940. Based on the shareholding percentage of each shareholder, the cash refund will be NT$ 0.5 per share. Number of outstanding shares 556,789,889 is counted up to the book closure date April 20, 2021 and the capital reduction rate is 5% (expected reduction of 27,839,494 shares).
-
Share deduction: It is calculated based on the number of shares held by each shareholder recorded in the shareholder register on the record date for capital reduction and share swap. Each thousand shares will be exchanged for approximately 950 shares (50 shares per thousand shares will be reduced), the number of shares reduced will be refunded in cash at a par value of 10 per share to the shareholders. After the capital reduction, shareholder could apply for consolidation of odd lots into round lots through the stock affairs agency between five days to one day before the book closure date for capital reduction and share swap. The unconsolidated odd lots or the ones couldn’t make a round lot after consolidation will be calculated and refunded in cash (pay off depository transfer fee and non-physical registration fee) at a par value and round it to the dollar (NT$), and the Chairman will be authorised to contact specific people to purchase those odd lots at a par value. The issuance of shares after capital reduction will be in non-physical format.
-
The expected paid-in share capital after the capital reduction was NT$5,289,503,950.
-
After the aforementioned proposal of capital reduction is approved by the competent authorities, it is proposed to authorize Board of Directors to set the record date for capital reduction and record date for capital reduction and share swap. In case the subsequent changes in the share capital impacts the number of outstanding shares, and required to amend the aforementioned capital reduction rate, it is proposed to authorize Board of Directors at the shareholders’ meeting to handle the matter.
-
In case the proposal is required to be revised or adjusted due to amendments to laws or regulations or requested by competent authorities, it is proposed to authorise Chairman of the Company at the shareholders’ meeting to fully handle the matter.
-
The matter was approved in the 9[th] meeting of the 17[th] Board of Directors on March 25, 2021.
