[Presentation Topic]

IV. Independent auditor’s audit report of the financial statements of First Hotel Company Ltd.

To First Hotel Company Ltd:

Opinions

We have audited the balance sheets of First Hotel Company Ltd. as of December 31, 2020 and as of December 31, 2019, as well as the comprehensive income statements, the statements of changes in equity and cash flow statements, and notes to the financial statements (including a summary of significant accounting policies) for the years 2020 and 2019, from January 1[st] to December 31[st] .

In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent auditors (please refer to the Other Information), the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of First Hotel Company Ltd. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and cash flows from January 1[st] to December 31[st] , 2020 and 2019, in conformity with the requirements of regulations governing the preparation of financial statements by securities issuers and International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and Interpretations endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission

Basis for Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing” and generally accepted auditing standards. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the “Code”), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. 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 were of most significance in our audit to First Hotel Company Ltd. of the 2020 financial statements of the current period in our professional judgment. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key audit matters of the 2020 financial statements of First Hotel Company Ltd. are as follows:

  • 10 -

Investments accounted for under the equity method

As of December 31, 2020, the balance of the investment in Today's Hotel Corporation of the USA under the equity method was NT$4,114,738 thousand, accounting for 39% of total assets. As of December 31, 2020, the amount of loss recognized under the equity method in relation to Today's Hotel Corporation USA was NT$50,349 thousand, accounting for (25%) of net profits before tax. Since the amounts of the aforementioned items are significant in relation to the overall financial statements, if the investee's financial statements do not properly reflect the results of operations for the year or do not correctly calculate the investment income or loss, the amount in the investment using the equity method and its share of the income or loss will be adjusted for deviations and is therefore considered a key audit matter for the year ended December 31, 2020. Please refer to Notes 4 and 9 for related accounting policies and disclosures.

In order to address the above risks, we understood the planning of the audit teams of these affiliated companies, assessed the professional competence of the audit teams and communicated the materiality of the audit and the risk of a material misstatement by means of audit contact letters. Upon completing the audit, we assessed whether the audit teams had obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence and obtained audited financial statements to confirm and verify the accuracy of the amount in profit or loss and related investments recognized under the equity method.

Other Information

Among the affiliated companies accounted for under the equity method in the financial statements of First Hotel Company Ltd., the 2020 and 2019 financial statements of Forward Time Corporation, Today’s V, Inc. and Today’s VI, LLC accounted for under the equity method by F&W Hotel Corporation and Today's Hotel Corporation of USA have not been audited by us. Therefore, our opinion on the financial statements referred to above is based on the report of the other auditors as to the amounts of the above-mentioned investments accounted for under the equity method and the shares of income or loss of the affiliates accounted for under the equity method. For the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the above balances audited by other accountants amounted to NT$1,471,744 thousand and NT$1,474,791 thousand, respectively, accounting for 14% of total assets. The share of income or loss of affiliates recognized under the equity method amounted to NT$76,283 thousand and NT$25,988 thousand, respectively, accounting for 38% and 4% of net profits before tax in 2020 and 2019.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the ability of First Hotel Company Ltd 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 First Hotel Company Ltd.'s financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

  • 11 -

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the 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. Still, it is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error. They are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence users' economic decisions based on these financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also conduct the following tasks:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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. 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 to express an opinion on the effectiveness of the internal control of First Hotel Company Ltd.

  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. Based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of First Hotel Company Ltd. to continue as a going concern. 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 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 First Hotel Company Ltd. to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  6. 12 -

  7. Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within First Hotel Company Ltd. to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion of First Hotel Company Ltd.

  8. We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the

  9. 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 of most significance in the audit of First Hotel Company Ltd.’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and are 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.
