Highwealth Construction Corporation Business Report
Hello, ladies and gentlemen:
On behalf of all my colleagues in Highwealth Construction Corporation, I would like to thank all shareholders again for your support and care over the past year!
Looking back at the major domestic and international situations of 2018: on the international front, the Sino-US trade war shook the world, the US dollar interest rate rose strongly, China's economy declined sharply, the National People's Congress amended the Constitution to open a new era of Xi Jinping, China introduced 31 measures to benefit Taiwan, emerging markets fell into a bear market, Britain reached an agreement with Br-exit, and bitcoin price collapsed from the clouds; in Taiwan, this includes the introduction of amendment law of the Labor Law, the introduction of annuity reform, pass of three reads of amendments to the Money Laundering Control Act, the Central Bank's strategy to maintain low interest rates, the return of REITs to the market and industrial plants, a six-year high record in land transactions, and the introduction of amendments to the Company Act. We have been constantly concerning about changes in the business environment that are closely related to the national economy and people's livelihood and wealth.
In 2019, the Global Anti-Tax Avoidance CRS has been introduced, and the Legislative Yuan has put forward the Special Regulations on Promoting the Return of Overseas Funds for Investment. The willingness of Taiwanese businessman capital backflow has greatly increased, and real estate will become the target of property purchase. According to the information released by the Accounts and Statistics Office, the excess savings in Taiwan have exceeded two trillion NT dollars for five consecutive years, and the market is full of floating capital. In the part of the minimum wage, the increase to 23,100 NT dollars per month and the increase to 150 NT dollars per hour are conducive to the fulfillment of young people's dream of starting a family; future housing policy will take social housing and urban renewal as the main axis, and the actual price login of 2.0 will continue to collect views from all walks of life to amend the law; under the theme of economic struggle, the real estate unification tax is expected to be lowered. If the banks continue to maintain low interest rates, the market can be expected in the future.
In 2018, Highwealth and the subsidiaries, in such a situation, the consolidated revenue had created income 44.2 billion NT dollars, which set a high record again! Both earnings and revenue had been maintained in a leading position in the industry, which showed that Highwealth Construction had always adhered to the stable, self-disciplined and professional philosophy, and could flexibly adjust its business strategy to meet the market demand and maintain a stable number of promoted cases in spite of the fast-changing environment with many uncertainties. Through multiple marketing channels and flexible housing purchase schemes, Highwealth had gained recognition in the market, of which the overall performance was stable and eye-catching.
- 4 -
This year we will continue to actively promote the cases in the north, central and south; if successful, it will include the North District Xinzhuang“Jieshi Fort” and Taoyuan Guishan“Huayue City” cases. It will include the eye-catching cases of Taichung City’sWuri High-speed Railway "Menghuancheng", Nantun District Fenggong Section, Xitun District Huian Section Commercial Office Building, Tainan City’sAnping District Yu-guang-san, Kaohsiung City's Sanmin District MeishuDayue, Sanmin District Dagang Section, Zuoying District Fushan Commercial Office Building, Lingya District CBD Times Square Commercial Office Building, and the Qianjin District Boxiao Section “Left Bank of Love River”. This year, the number of promoted cases is expected to maintain steady growth, of course, we will also work harder to return the support and affirmation of shareholders.
Next, I would like to report to shareholders Highwealth's impressive recognized consolidated revenue of 44.2 billion NT dollars in 2018, and the construction cases of recognized revenue include: Taipei Jingqi, Shuanghu Hui, Shuangmei Pavilion, Taipei CBD Times Square, Yuanshan No. 1 Courtyard, Songjiang No.1 Courtyard, Taipei No.1 Courtyard, Linkou National No.1 Courtyard, Haiyang Duxin, Mangrove Manor, Highwealth Manor, A+ in front of Chungpu Station, No.1 Park in Chubei, Giants, and Water Park Case. Construction cases of Taichung recognized revenue include Taichung Wenhua Hui, Shuhe Courtyard, Herion Legend, the Herion Castle, and the Taichung National No.1 Courtyard. In the south, recognized revenue cases include Huaren Hui, MinshengXiangxie, Bo Yue, Da Yue, and King's No.1 Courtyard. Coupled with the revenue contributions from the Qiyu Construction Project - Group subsidiary, Taipei ChungshanKaiyan, Hanlin Town, and Taichung CBD Times Square from Boyuan Construction,and the construction cases from Runlong Construction: Ambassador Residence, JingxinWenhui, Xinyi City, Chubei Ambassador Dayue, Taichung NTC State Commercial and Trade Center, Runlong, Tainan Zhen'ai, these figures enabled us to create an after-tax profit of 6.01 NT dollars per share in the year of 2018!
Projected in 2019, in addition to the recognizable performance of the continuing sales of existing houses, including sales cases of consolidated subsidiaries, there are new cases planned to be promoted in response to market demand in northern, central, and southern Taiwan. And recognizable revenue cases in Taipei include New Zhuangjieshi Fort, Shuanghu Hui, Zhen'ai, Taipei CBD Times Square, Taichung Shuhe Courtyard, Kaohsiung Boyue, and a number of other cases in continuing public sales. At the same time, we will start the ten-year multiplier plan, which includes diversified new businesses, doubling of assets, blossoming of brands, and continuous land development in Taiwan. In the next ten years, we expect to earn another 100 billion NT dollars!
The multiplier plan will be divided into three parts to achieve the goal:
Firstly, in terms of market environment, we need to increase the market share of promoted cases
Highwealth's know-how and experience in engineering, market judgment and design planning for nearly 40 years can not be easily replaced, with which we can also gain the trust of customers. Highwealth is not only the king of land purchasing, but also the first brand in consumers' minds.
- 5 -
Secondly, in terms of branding management, we need to start the diversified development plan
Started from the construction industry, combined with shopping malls, hotels and restaurants, this year a new business and five new brands will be introduced in Kaohsiung Yuecheng Square. In addition, our hotel, cooperated with Hyatt and Marriott two international brands, will also be launched in Jinshan, Tainan, and Kaohsiung, which is hoped to bring more diversified and convenient living functions and high-quality environment to the residential quarter.
Thirdly, in terms of product planning, commercial office and initial purchase are still the main force in promoted cases
At present, in addition to the residential products we are good at, the commercial office is expected to move towards the goal of 30 buildings in five years. In the future, there will be commercial office planning in Taipei, Taichung, and Kaohsiung, including office composite mall, and even office combined with hotels. Initial purchase are still our specialty items. Not only should we enrich our public facilities, but also they should be paired with easy payment to encourage young people to buy houses bravely, so as to enhance the work motivation and drive social productivity.
Real estate is the locomotive industry for economic growth. As the leading brand in Taiwan, we continue to invest more to build Taiwan and provide local job opportunities. The number of employees in the Group has increased eight times from 165 when it went public in 2000 to 1,288 so far. At the same time, with the expansion of the Group's new business, more partners will join us in the future to work together for Taiwan's economic growth!
Looking forward to the future, Highwealth Group will adhere to the “integrity principle” and “sustainable management” concept, continue to pay attention to the real estate market demand and economic environment changes, adhere to product refinement and high-quality service, and adhere to safety, active development, sound finance and other aspects, to create the greatest benefits and value for customers, shareholders, employees and Taiwan society.
Finally, I would like to thank all gentlemen and ladies who are here today for your continued support and care.
Thank you!

(IV) Influences of external competitive environment, regulatory environment and the overall business environment
-
External competition: bottoming uptrend appeared in market environment after housing consolidation period, the quantity of the land, application permit and building permit increased in 2018, the land transaction volume reached 178 billion NT dollars, 77% of the total amount was residential and commercial land, the bid release amount was nearly 80 billion NT dollars, the application permit issued number increased nearly 7%, the house number broke 110,000, and the commencing declaration number in building permit broke 100,000, which returned to the highest level in nearly four years, reflecting the confidence and ambition of developers in the housing market in general. At present, most of the same trade mainly caters to the owner-occupied rigid demand for small square and low total price products, the turnover is growing slowly compared with the previous years, and the commercial office will become the focus of attention in the future market. Only by strengthening the brand, innovating the products, and simultaneously raising the value demand and flexible precision marketing, can we continue to lead the market and win the largest market share.
-
Regulatory environment: the regulatory environment widely includes Construction Regulations, taxes and government policies, such as integration system for dividend
-
10 -
taxation, house tax, land increment tax, financial and fiscal policy, transportation and housing policy, land policy, urban renewal plan, green building promotion and improvement of the transparency of transaction information, proposal of third-party certificate responsibility, and many other regulation changes. The Company will focus more on the study of regulations to ensure the rights and interests of all shareholders.
- Overall business environment: starting from the third quarter of 2018, influenced by the Sino-US trade war and the global capital transfer driven by the US dollar interest rate rise, the economic outlook has become conservative. In addition, the issues of structural safety of buildings, land development intensity and soil liquefaction revealed by Osaka and Hokkaido strong earthquake in Japan and Hualian earthquake in Taiwan have all affected the overall environment of the housing market and the public's demand for building quality. Under the catalysis of the election, many major projects in Taiwan, such as the opening of the Kaohsiung underground railway, the completion of the second phase of the Taichung elevated railway, the trial operation of the Green Line metro, the completion of the first phase of the New Taipei Ring Line, and the completion of the Green Mountain Line of Danhai Light Rail Line, have had a significant impact on the housing market. In addition, the price of new cases is reasonable, which meets market expectations. In conclusion, the Company is optimistic about the future of the housing market. For house buyers, this year will be an excellent time to conduct owner-occupation and investment in the property market. In particular, the profits of commercial office investment are stable, which is worth grasping.
In the end, I, only on behalf of the Company, would like to show my thanks to ladies and gentlemen for your encouragement and support, and wish you
all the best and family peace
Chairman: Zheng Zhilong

17 -
Please refer to note 4(o) and 6(x) of the parent company only financial statements for the account policies on revenue recognition and the details of revenue.
Description of key audit matter
The real estate industry, in which the Company is into, has a higher tendency of revenue fluctuation, therefore the management has set up relevant internal control procedures. The Company's sales revenue was $30,663,635 thousand in 2018, whether revenue is presented fairly has a significant impact on financial statement. Therefore, the recognition of sales revenue is one of the most important evaluation in performing our audit procedures.
Auditing procedures proformed
Our principal audit procedures included testing the effectiveness of the design and implementing the internal control system of sales revenue. Inspection of sales contracts, bank account transaction record and real estate ownership transfer document, etc. Performing analytical procedures to advance payment to analyze the completeness of accounting procedures. Testing the samples of sales transaction before and after the end of the year to ensure the correctness of sales revenue.
2. Inventory valuation
Please refer to note 4(g) and 5 of the parent company only financial statements for the accounting policies on measuring inventory, assumption used and uncertainties considered in determining the net realizable value and the details of inventory.
Description of key audit matter
As of December 31, 2018, inventory of the Company valued $66,297,202 thousands, constituting 68% of the total assets, which was presented with lower of cost or net realizable value method. The judgment of net realizable value of inventory relies on management since the Company focuses on real estate industry, which is not only deeply affected by politics, economics, and revolution of housing and land taxation, but also an industry involving a large portion of capital infusion and long-term payback. Thus, the valuation of inventory is one of the most important valuation in performing our audit procedures.
Auditing procedures proformed
Our principal audit procedures included understanding the Company’s operating and accounting procedures for inventory valuation. Obtain the Company management’s data of inventory valuation, inspecting and recalculating the net realizable value of inventory whether adequate. The net realizable value can be assessed in both ways: through reviewing the recent selling price of the premises, or by inquiring the selling price of premises nearby from the “Actual Selling Price of Real Estate” website.
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
- 18 -
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.
Auditor’s Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor’s report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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 auditor’s 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 parent company only financial
-
19 -
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.
- 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2018 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 Ti-Nuan Chien and Kuo-Yang Tseng.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors of Highwealth Construction Corp.:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated financial statements of Highwealth Construction Corp. and its subsidiaries (“the Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2018 and 2017, and the consolidated statement 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 at December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 audits 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.
Emphasis of Matter
We draw attention to Note 3(a) of the consolidated financial statements, which the Group initially adopted the IFRS 9 “Financial Instruments” at January 1, 2018, with no restatement of comparative period amounts. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
We draw attention to Note 3(a) of the consolidated financial statements, which the Group initially adopted the IFRS 15 “Revenue from Contracts with Customers” at January 1, 2018, with no restatement of comparative period amounts. Our opinion is not modified in respect of this matter.
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 year ended December 31, 2018 of the Group. 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.
- 26 -
1. Revenue recognition
Please refer to note 4(r) and 6(aa) of the consolidated financial statements for the account poliies on revenue recognition and the details of revenue.
Description of key audit matter
The real estate industry, in which the Group is into, has a higher tendency of revenue fluctuation, therefore the management has set up relevant internal control procedures. The Group's sales revenue was $43,863,790 thousands in 2018, whether revenue is presented fairly has a significant impact on financial statement. Therefore, the recognition of sales revenue is one of the most important evaluation in performing our audit procedures.
Auditing procedures performed
Our principal audit procedures included testing the effectiveness of the design and implementing the internal control system of sales revenue. Inspection of sales contracts, bank account transaction record and real estate ownership transfer document, etc.. Performing analytical procedures to advance payment to analyze the completeness of accounting procedures. Testing the samples of sales transaction before and after the end of the year to ensure the correctness of sales revenue.
2. Inventory valuation
Please refer to note 4(h) and 5 of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policies on measuring inventory, assumption used and uncertainties considered in determining the net realizable value and the details of inventory.
Description of key audit matter
As of December 31, 2018, inventory of the Group valued $91,742,520 thousands, constituting 70% of the consolidated total assets, which was presented with lower of cost or net realizable value method. The judgment of net realizable value of inventory relies on management since the Group focuses on real estate industry, which is not only deeply affected by politics, economics, and revolution of housing and land taxation, but also an industry involving a large portion of capital infusion and long-term payback. Thus, the valuation of inventory is one of the most important evaluation in performing our audit procedures.
Auditing procedures performed
Our principal audit procedures included understanding the Group’s operating and accounting procedures for inventory valuation. Obtain the Group management’s data of inventory valuation, inspecting and recalculating the net realizable value of inventory to ensure if it is adequate. The net realizable value can be assessed in both ways: through reviewing the recent selling price of the premises, or by inquiring the selling price of premises nearby from the “Actual Selling Price of Real Estate” website.
Other Matter
Highwealth Construction Corp. has prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2018 and 2017, 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 (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.
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
-
28 -
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 consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit.
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 for the year ended December 31, 2018 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 Ti-Nuan Chien and Kuo Yang Tseng.
