Report to Shareholders
Dear ladies and gentlemen:
Thank you all for participating in this year's annual general meeting, and on behalf of the Company, I would like to express my most sincere gratitude for your persistent support.
In the last two years, we have endured unprecedented lockdowns throughout the world due to COVID-19, witnessed UK's exit from the European Union as well as the uprise of trade protectionism that escalated trade disputes between USA, China, and the EU, and encountered a wave of African swine fever along with rising grain prices that forced the Company to make several adjustments in terms of operations, raw material purchase, and exchange rate hedging. The spread of COVID-19 finally caught up with Taiwan in May 2021, and as we entered the state of level 3 alert, demand for poultry, pork, and edible oil from restaurants, night markets, and snack stalls plummeted, which negatively impacted profitability of the Company. Although the Company was unable to continue its growth streak, it still maintained a resilient level of profitability in 2021.
Driven by the mission to uphold business integrity and provide healthy life and safe food for consumers, DaChan Group continues to publish corporate social responsibility report this year. The Company is committed to enforcing traceability for all products sold, and has established its own farm-to-table system. The DaChan Quality Inspection Center not only passes food safety certification of the Ministry of Health and Welfare, but also takes part in the government's Food Safety Alliance Program as a way to raise consumers' confidence in DaChan products.
The Company reported consolidated net operating revenues of NT$101.4 billion for 2021, up NT$19.8 billion or 24.2% from 2020; net income attributable to parent company's shareholders amounted to NT$1.87 billion for 2021, down NT$1.25 billion or -40.1% from 2020.
All of the Company's factories have passed international and Taiwan's quality and safety certifications, including but not limited to EU HACCP and ISO22000. In addition to having a national grade laboratory featuring the most advanced instruments and systems, the Company also passes food certification of the Ministry of Health and Welfare and completed a modern food processing factory in Machouhou in 2021 that expanded production capacity for precooked frozen foods. Furthermore, the Company has acquired land at Machouhou Industrial Park through tender for phase 2 expansion of food processing capacity as well as the production of plant-based meat. In a collaboration with Showa Sangyo Co., Ltd. from Japan, a major joint venture is being created for the production of eggs and flour; in particular, the modern, highly automated warehousing facility for washed eggs and liquid eggs located in Erlin, Changhua, is expected to commence production at the end of 2022, which will greatly improve the standardization and quality of egg farming, egg washing, and liquid egg production in Taiwan. The joint venture will also introduce advanced flour-making technologies that help widen the Company's competitive advantage over peers and provide better food safety assurance for improved brand image as well as stronger confidence from customers and consumers.

(IV) Research and development
DaChan Group continues to increase the level of vertical integration in agricultural and animal food products. Meanwhile, additional efforts are being made to expand into related fields such as: feeds, fats, meats, seafoods, eggs, processed foods, biotech, plant-based meat, pet foods, and vaccines. This expanding diversity means that R&D efforts have to be adjusted at the group level to accommodate the Company's future opportunities and market demand, and that more manpower and resources will have to be committed into developing technologies and products that are relevant to the sustainability of the Company's growth.
Sustainability and environmental protection is an issue that modern businesses have to take note of, and besides improving product features, it is also necessary to direct research and development efforts toward the needs of consumers, the environment, and the society as a whole, and contribute to the sustainability of the Earth's environment by addressing waste reduction, carbon reduction, energy conservation, and environmental protection issues.
To ensure ongoing advancement of production technology, the Company not only invests resources and manpower persistently into research and development, but has also made plans to create a biotech R&D center for food and animal nutrition and expand experimental facilities for: vaccine-producing eggs, poultry, pork, and seafood. Meanwhile, collaborations are being made with local and foreign research institutions such as: National Taiwan University, National Cheng Kung University, National Chung Hsing University, National Pingtung University, National Taiwan Ocean University, Tainan Livestock Research Institute, Tamsui Animal Health Research Institute, and Schothorst Feed Research to acquire critical technologies and develop application capacity.

II. Summary of 2022 business plan
(I) Operational guidelines
DaChan Group has long specialized in the development of animal and aquaculture feeds, meat products, and restaurant brands. It currently surpasses peers in the market share of compound feeds and electricuted chicken. In addition to pursuing sales growth, the Company places great emphasis on improving feed quality and tightening control over its products, and caters for consumers' health at the source. By venturing into biotechnology, the Company aims to develop biotech products that meet the nutritional requirements of animals in different environments. In terms of egg production, the Company will support the government's policies on washed eggs by adopting total monitoring of feed nutrition, proper egg farm management, regular disease inspection for hens, random inspection of egg quality, and rigorous testing of the final product. With the help of professional cold chain logistics partners, these products will be delivered to customers in the optimal condition. The Company has even established a food development center to oversee research of new machinery, refinement of production process, as well as the development, production, and marketing of plant-based meats. Pet food production and development also make up a significant focus of the Company's future plan.
With respect to food processing, the Company's new food processing factory located in Machouhou Industrial Park, Chiayi, commenced mass production at the end of 2021. This modern food processing factory, equipped with multifunctional equipment, performs a wide variety of tasks from frying, roasting, stewing, quality control to automated packaging, and has the capacity to provide local consumers with processed foods of the highest quality and safety.
The Company continues to focus on agricultural and animal products as the main business activity with corporate social responsibilities in mind. Through vertical integration and ongoing improvements to product quality and safety, we strive to raise customers' satisfaction and embrace a brighter future while adhering to our values of integrity and modesty.

(III) Key production/sales policies
In terms of edible oil, DaChan's soybean oil has always bean a trusted brand and preferred product for commercial use, particularly in night markets and food stalls. There is consistent demand for soybean grounds in Taiwan, and although export of locally produced pork is permitted, most of the supply is consumed domestically at this point. Future industry upgrades should increase demand for soybean grounds. The chaos of global shipping persisted in the current year, and with only 20% of shipments arriving on-time, supply of soybean to Taiwan remained uncertain throughout the winter. Nevertheless, the management still managed to secure adequate volume of soybean for the production of soybean grounds and oil, thereby enabling the Company to stay profitable during the year.
In Taiwan, total deregulation on the import of poultry products combined with slow growth in the demand for animal protein have intensified price competition. As a response, the Company is actively integrating research, development, production, and marketing resources throughout the organization to increase product quality and create differentiation as well as competitive advantage that will lessen the threat of price competition. With the help of animal protein studies from the biotech facility, the Company hopes to provide customers with better quality and safer products that are free of antibiotics.
With regards to the production of pork, the Company introduced a new swine breed that offers stronger resistance against disease and better feed efficiency to lower the cost of meat production, given the surge of raw material prices and the presence of swine disease. By raising farming efficiency at the source, we were able to assure wage payout and reasonable markup per swine to the benefit of both farmers and the Company.
As for free range chicken, the Company has raised its safety requirements and begun working with farmers to develop farming technologies without the use of antibiotics, and thereby accommodate local consumers' taste for free range chicken as well as increased frequency of home cooking during the pandemic. In an attempt to bring more variety of free range chicken products to consumers, the Company introduced special fowl species and marketed free range chicken products all under a collective brand through supermarkets and mass retailers, which should ensure the level of integration needed to deliver farm-to-table.
The Company has achieved significant success with respect to festive meal and home meal replacement in recent years, particularly with the introduction of new brands such as Yummy Dots. Additional safety inspections and preparation techniques were introduced to food processing to ensure the safety and taste of this new line of products. In light of the fundamental changes in consumers' shopping behaviors, the Company has devoted greater attention into e-commerce besides existing channels; some of its products even managed to top the best-selling chart.
28
(IV) Future development strategies
-
The Company will continue devoting attention to food safety in light of how consumers local and abroad have become more aware of issues concerning ractopamine, drug residue, the pandemic, and the safety and health of meat and egg products. A food development center has been established to oversee research of existing and new machinery, refinement of production process, as well as the development, production, and marketing of plant-based meats. In terms of feeds, the Company operates complete yet diversified product lines to minimize business risks, and offers biotech solutions to help customers improve feed efficiency. The Company actively explores vertical integration within the industry as a way to secure advantage and dominance in the supply chain, and is constantly expanding its own ecosystem. After extensive research and development, DaChan is able to make layer feeds, late-stage swine feeds, and late-stage chicken feeds without any antibiotics while achieving zero drug residue. Through introduction of environment-friendly and low N.P.NH3 pollution feeds for swine and layers, the Company not only promotes productive interactions with the industry, but also strengthens sustainability and competitiveness in feed supply.
-
As for fresh poultry supply, the Company has made extensive vertical integrations from the chicken farm, hatchery, contract farmers, feed suppliers, electrocution slaughterhouse, processing factories all the way to the distribution channels, and markets its own poultry products under the brand - "DaChan Poultry." In doing so, the Company is able to exercise total control in such a way that reduces production cost and ensures the quality and consistency of chicken supply.
With respect to food processing, the Company produces processed poultry goods that can be stored in room temperature, chilled, and frozen, which are distributed nationwide through a variety of channels.
- The COVID-19 pandemic has fundamentally changed consumers' dining habits. As people become more receptive of cooking at home, they start looking for frozen food options that are easy to store and cook. Satisfying customers' needs to cook and eat at home thus presents a new challenge to food producers, but it also means that there are greater opportunities to innovate.
By incorporating modern production technologies, the Company continually introduces new and differentiated products that taste good and are safe to eat, thereby bringing customers pleasant dining experience with each meal. Changes have also been made to accommodate the smaller dining size per household today; by shifting design emphasis towards smaller volume and greater variety, the Company hopes to appeal to the young population with a new brand image and fresh elements.
Demand for plant-based foods in Asia is expected to grow by 200% over the next five years as vegetarian diet increases in popularity with rising environmental awareness. Having noticed the sizable percentage of vegetarians in Taiwan and the abundant opportunities they represent, the Company has committed significant R&D resources into improving the texture, flavor, and
29
pricing of plant-based meat, as the flavor is what draws consumers to try, while affordability is the key to making plant-based meat popular. Pro-active actions will be taken to expand global market presence in the future.
(V) Impacts of the competitive environment, regulatory environment, and
macroeconomic environment
Trade agreements have given rise to several regional markets around the world, allowing goods, services, and information to be delivered free of border limitations. As a result, the Company now faces competition from all over the world. Not only does the Company compete to offer the best product in the global market, it also competes with producers around the world for supply of low-cost materials and services. Faced with such a competitive environment, the Company will play to its size advantage and make bulk purchases worldwide to reduce raw material costs, so that more resources can be directed towards improving product quality and after-sale service.
In light of ongoing food safety issues and consumers' concerns about bird flu and drug residues in agricultural/animal products, the Company will be making adjustments to the product portfolio while undergoing more extensive upstream-downstream integration to diversify feed risks, and thereby ensure profit stability. DaChan Group remains persistent at promoting safety and traceability for pork, poultry, processed foods, and egg products. Our efforts to ensure "quality and safety" of the food supply chain have been rewarded with favorable results, and we are proud to be able to meet the government's requirements as well as the public's expectations for healthy and safe meats and eggs. By offering 100% assurance, we hope to build DaChan's prestige in the field of food safety and convince consumers of the quality of our products.
Lastly, we wish for your wellbeing and give you our best regards for the future ahead!

The Business Operation Report, Financial Statements and the proposed profit distribution have been reviewed by us, the Audit Committee of the Company. We have not found any inconsistencies with applicable laws in our review of the aforementioned documents. Therefore, we, the Audit Committee, hereby issue this report in compliance with Article 14-4 of the Securities and Exchange Act and Article 219 of the Company Act.
Convener of the Audit Committee: Ting Yu-Shan
Date: March 25, 2022

Independent Auditors ’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Great Wall Enterprise Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the financial statements of Great Wall Enterprise Co., Ltd.(“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants 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. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the financial statements of the current period. 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.
- Revenue recognition
Regarding the significant accounting policies for revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4(n) and Note 6(v) “Revenue from contracts with customers” from the financial statements.
Description of key audit matter:
Due to the industry characteristics of the Company and following the rules set by competent authorities to announce operating income monthly, revenue recognition timing risk is increased.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures include:
- Understanding whether the accounting policies and methods for revenue recognition of the audited company are appropriate
32
-
Testing the Company’s controls and transaction cycle from order to payment regarding revenue recognition
-
Performing substantive procedure of revenue, and sampling payments or certified documents for sale transactions
-
Selecting the appropriate sample size from the detail in the ending balance of the trade receivable and sending external confirmations to debtors
-
Assessing whether revenues are recognized in the appropriate timing
-
Assessing impairment of investments accounted for using equity method
Please refer to Note 4(m) Impairment of Non-financial Assets in the financial report for the accounting policy for assessing impairment of investments accounted for using equity method. For accounting assumptions, judgements and estimation uncertainty regarding assessing impairment of investments accounted for using equity method, please refer to Note 5 in the financial statement. For investments accounted for using the equity method, please refer to Note 6(h).
Description of key audit matter:
Constituent entities of subsidiaries using the equity method have continuously incurred net losses in recent years, hence the management believes that there are signs of impairment in related assets. The management adopts the value-in-use method to estimate the future discounted cash flow to evaluate the recoverable amount of the identifiable cash-generating unit to which the relevant assets belong, and considers whether to reverse or increase the previous year's set amount. The preparation of future discounted cash flow data involves significant management judgments, especially when estimating the gross profit margin and revenue growth rate and determining its appropriate discount rate. Therefore, factors such as the gross profit margin, revenue growth rate and discount rate are inherently uncertain and involve possible management bias.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures include:
-
Assessing the significant cash-generating units recognized by the management of the Company as showing signs of impairment
-
Comparing the main financial information used for its future discounted cash flows with relevant information in the financial budget approved by the management authority, including operating income, operating costs and operating expenses; and then comparing the financial budget prepared in the previous year with the current year’s performance in order to evaluate the accuracy of its forecasts while discussing with the management the reasons for the significant differences, and whether it has been taken into consideration in this year’s budget
-
Comparing the key assumptions used in estimating future discounted cash flows including the estimated long-term income growth rate and profit margin of each cash-generating unit with comparable companies in the industry and external market data, and appointing internal evaluation experts to evaluate whether the discount rate used for future cash flows falls within the range adopted by the industry
-
Performing sensitivity analysis on key assumptions (including income growth rate and discount rate) adopted for future discounted cash flows to evaluate the impact each cash-generating unit has on the net present value; and evaluating the impact of changes in key assumptions on the conclusions obtained and whether there is management bias.

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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 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 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 (the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors ’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
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, 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 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 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 financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
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.
34
- 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 this 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 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.

Independent Auditors ’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Great Wall Enterprise Co., Ltd.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Great Wall Enterprise Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants 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. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements 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(p) and Note 6(aa) “Revenue from contracts with customers” from the financial statements.
Description of key audit matter: Due to the industry characteristics of the Company and following the rules set by competent authorities to announce operating income monthly, revenue recognition timing risk is increased.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
40
Our principal audit procedures include:
-
Understanding whether the accounting policies implemented by the audited company is appropriate
-
Testing the Company’s controls and transaction cycle from order to payment regarding revenue recognition
-
Performing detailed tests on the verification of sales revenue, and sampling payments or original certificates after the verification period
-
Selecting the appropriate sample size in accounts receivable and sending external confirmations
-
Appraising whether sales revenues occur during appropriate periods
-
Investment impairment using the equity method
Please refer to Note 4(o) Impairment of Non-financial Assets in the financial report for the accounting policy for investment impairment using the equity method. For the accounting judgments regarding investment impairment assessment using the equity method, please refer to Note 5 in the report. For more information on asset impairment, please refer to Note 6(l) Property, plant, and equipment and Note 6(m) Right-of-use assets.
Description of key audit matter: Constituent entities of subsidiaries using the equity method have continuously incurred net losses in recent years, hence the management believes that there are signs of impairment in related fixed assets. The management adopts the value-in-use method to estimate the future discounted cash flow to evaluate the recoverable amount of the identifiable cash-generating unit to which the relevant fixed assets belong, and considers whether to reverse or increase the previous year's set amount. The preparation of future discounted cash flow data involves significant management judgments, especially when estimating the gross profit margin and revenue growth rate and determining its appropriate discount rate. Therefore, factors such as the gross profit margin, revenue growth rate and discount rate are inherently uncertain and involve possible management deviations.
How the matter was addressed in our audit:
Our principal audit procedures include:
-
Assessing the significant cash-generating units recognized by the management of the Company as showing signs of impairment
-
Comparing the main financial information used for its future discounted cash flows with relevant information in the financial budget approved by the management authority, including operating income, operating costs and operating expenses; and then comparing the financial budget prepared in the previous year with the current year’s performance in order to evaluate the accuracy of its forecasts while discussing with the management the reasons for the significant differences, and whether it has been taken into consideration in this year’s budget
-
Comparing the key assumptions used in estimating future discounted cash flows including the estimated long-term income growth rate and profit margin of each cash-generating unit with comparable companies in the industry and external market data, and appointing internal evaluation experts to evaluate whether the discount rate used for future cash flows falls within the range adopted by the industry
-
Performing sensitivity analysis on key assumptions (including income growth rate and discount rate) adopted for future discounted cash flows to evaluate the impact each cash-generating unit has on the net present value; and evaluating the impact of changes in key assumptions on the conclusions obtained and whether there are deviations from the management authority.
41
Other Matter
Great Wall Enterprise Co., Ltd. has additionally prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
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 IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.
Auditors ’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the 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:
-
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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
42
-
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 and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements 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 Phoebe Chung and Melody Chen.

-
If the related party had once pledged the property as collateral and borrowed from a financial institution, the value estimated by the financial institution should be used as reference, provided that the financial institution had lent more than 70% of the property value for more than 1 year. This does not apply if the financial institution is a related party to one of the counterparties.

(IV) Subparagraph (5), Paragraph 3 of this Article shall apply to real estate properties and right-of-use assets thereof acquired from related parties where the valuation methods described in Subparagraphs (1) and (2), Paragraph 3 of this Article both conclude a value that is lower than the transaction price. However, this excludes the following circumstances where there is objective evidence and opinions from professional property valuers and certified public accountant to support the rationality of the transaction:
-
The related party is acquiring or leasing bare land for new construction, in which case evidence can be raised to prove any of the following:
-
(1) The value of bare land, calculated according to Subparagraphs (1) and (2), Paragraph 3 of this Article, plus the value of building, calculated based on construction cost incurred by the related party plus reasonable markup, exceed the actual transaction price. The term "reasonable markup" is defined as the lower between the average gross profit margin of the related party's construction department in the last 3 years, or the latest gross profit margin of the entire construction industry published by the Ministry of Finance.
-

-
72
announced current values. The term "similar-size transaction" refers to unrelated transaction of area that is no smaller than 50% of the underlying property. The one-year timeframe mentioned above dates back one year from the date of occurrence on which the real estate property or right-of-use asset thereof is actually acquired.
-
(V) The following rules shall apply to real estate properties and right-of-use assets thereof acquired from related parties where the valuation methods described in Subparagraphs (1) and (2), Paragraph 3 of the Article both conclude a value that is lower than the transaction price:
-
The Company shall provide special reserves equal to the difference between the transaction price and the assessed cost of real estate property in the same manner as described in Paragraph 1, Article 41 of the Securities and Exchange Act. This special reserve can not be distributed as dividends or capitalized into share capital. Public companies that account the Company as an investment using the equity method shall also recognize a portion of the Company's special reserves according to their respective shareholding percentages, as required in Paragraph 1, Article 41 of the Securities and Exchange Act.
-
Independent directors of the Audit Committee shall proceed according to Article 218 of The Company Act.
-
Outcomes of Notes 1 and 2, Subparagraph (5), Paragraph 3 above are to be reported during a shareholder meeting, whereas transaction details are to be disclosed in the annual report and the prospectus. Where the Company has made provision for special reserves according to the above, the special reserves can only be used if devaluation losses are recognized on the acquired or leased asset during revaluation or disposal, or when the lease contract is terminated, or if compensation or cost is incurred while restoring the asset to its original state, or if there is evidence to support the underlying rationale. In which case, use of special reserves is subject to approval of the FSC.
-
(VI) Acquisition of real estate property or right-of-use asset thereof from related party may proceed according to the valuation and operating procedures described in Paragraphs 1 and 2 of this Article if the transaction exhibits any of the following conditions; in which case, the transaction cost needs not undergo the rationality assessment described in Subparagraphs (1), (2) or (3), Paragraph 3 of this Article:

-
5 years have passed since the related party first acquired the real estate property or right-of-use asset thereof.

73
Article 8: (Reference and basis for transaction price)
When acquiring or disposing of securities, the Company shall obtain the latest audited or auditor-reviewed financial statements of the securities issuer. Transactions that amount to 20% of the Company's paid-up capital or NT$300 million or above shall be supported by CPA's opinion with regards to the rationality of the transaction price. Should the CPA require an expert's opinion, one shall be obtained in accordance with Statement on Auditing Standards No. 20 published by ARDF.
However, this requirement does not apply to securities that are openly quoted in an active market or in circumstances where the FSC has regulated otherwise.
Except for transactions with government agency and transactions that involve commissioned development of purchased land, commissioned development of leased land, and acquisition/disposal of operating equipment or right-of-use assets thereof, all other acquisitions and disposals of property, equipment, or right-of-use assets thereof amounting to 20% of the Company's paid-up capital or NT$300 million and above shall be supported with valuation reports issued by professional valuers. These transactions shall also comply with the following rules:
-
(I) The valuation shall proceed using normal pricing as a general principle. Where restrictive pricing or specific pricing is used, explanation shall also be provided on whether the approach conforms with Article 10 or 11 of Land Valuation Technique Guidelines. If, for any reason, that the Company is in need of using a restrictive, specific or special pricing to serve as reference for the transaction price, the underlying transaction must then be supported by the Audit Committee and resolved by the board of directors before proceeding. Any future changes in transaction term shall also be subject to the above procedures. The valuation report shall also provide separate results for normal pricing, restrictive pricing, specific pricing, or special pricing and explain separately the conditions for restrictive or specific pricing, whether the conditions are met, the underlying reason and rationality for differences from normal pricing, and whether the restrictive, specific, or special price serves as adequate reference for the transaction price.
-
(II) If the valuer produces a valuation that differs from the transaction amount by 20% or above, the Company shall engage its financial statement auditor to issue opinions on the cause of difference and the appropriateness of transaction price according to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 20. The difference between valuation outcome and transaction amount, as mentioned above, is calculated based on transaction price.
-
(III) Transactions that amount to NT$1 billion and above have to be supported with valuation from at least two professional valuers. If valuers produce results that differ by 10% or more, the Company shall engage its financial statement auditor to issue opinions on the cause of difference and the appropriateness of transaction price according to Statement on Auditing Standards No. 20.
-
(IV) For valuations obtained before contract establishment date,, the valuer's report shall be dated no further than 3 months from the contract establishment date. However, if the report still applies to the same current value announced by the government and is no more than six months old, an opinion from the original valuer may be accepted to correct the valuation report.
74
- (V) If the valuer chooses to issue an "assessed current value report" or "evaluation report" in place of a valuation report, the alternative report must contain the mandatory details to be included in the valuation report, as described above. The term "professional valuer" mentioned above refers to an institution that specifically states real estate valuation or other fixed asset valuation as a business activity in their articles of incorporation or profit-seeking business registration, and that the institution and employee thereof are not related to the transaction principal in any way defined in Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 6.
For assets acquired or disposed of through court auctions, a documentary proof issued by the court can be used in place of the valuation report or CPA's opinions.
Article 8-1 Calculation of transaction amount
Transaction amounts in Articles 5-8 shall be calculated in accordance with Paragraph 1, Article 10. The one-year timeframe mentioned shall date back from the date of occurrence of the current transaction. Transactions that have already been supported with expert's valuation or CPA's opinions in accordance with the Procedures can be excluded from calculation.
-

These opinions are subject to discussion and resolution by the board of directors. However, experts' opinions are not required for mergers between the Company and subsidiaries in which it holds 100% direct or indirect ownership interest, and mergers between subsidiaries in which the Company holds 100% direct or indirect ownership interest.
-
(II) Important terms and details of the business merger, divestment, or acquisition shall be compiled into a public report and delivered to shareholders along with meeting advice and the expert's opinions mentioned in Subparagraph (1) Paragraph 1 of this Article before the shareholder meeting. These documents will serve as reference for shareholders' decision on whether to support the merger, divestment, or acquisition.

If any participant of the business merger, divestment, or acquisition is unable to convene a shareholder meeting or produce a resolution, or if the motion is voted down by shareholders due to insufficient attendees, insufficient votes, or other legal restrictions, participants of the business merger, divestment, or acquisition shall immediately announce to the public the causes of the discontinuance, any follow-up actions, and the estimated date of the next shareholder meeting.
