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!
In 2020, the US-China conflict, the slowdown of the Chinese economy and the COVID-19 pandemic have heightened risk diversification awareness. Business Week covered a story about 250 thousand talents having relocated back to Taiwan. With the return of talents and capital, the housing market of Taiwan is expected to embrace a “golden period of five to ten year” once the pandemic is over. Although the authorities have for the past two years expressed the intention to suppress the housing market, the construction industry is restricted by a shortage of land supply, pay rise and other factors. Costs are not lowered, but have since increased. Furthermore, a low interest rate market environment fuels a “buying over renting” mentality, which in turn fuels a substantial rigid demand, thus indirectly propels the economic development of the overall industry. We are committed to center the focus of the group’s investment in Taiwan for the coming five to ten years. We sincerely hope that every person can own a house.
The population between 20 to 34 years old amounts to 4.7 million people, of which the population between 20 to 24 years old joining the workforce is as high as 1.18 million people. For a family of two, in the next three to four years, there could be 600 thousand families who become first-time home owners. For the coming year, Highwealth will hand over three to four thousand units, fostering a safe and conducive residential environment for Taiwanese. Encouraging young people to own homes so that they become a stabilizing force of the society and giving young people the positive idea of starting new families are the missions of Highwealth and where the potential opportunities of the housing market lie.
Under the market conditions in 2020, the consolidated revenue of Highwealth and the subsidiaries amounted to NT$24.5 billion, maintaining its leading position in the industry and proving that the philosophy of stability, self-discipline and professionalism that Highwealth Construction has held since its establishment allowed it to flexibly adjust its business strategy to meet the market demand and maintain a consistent number of new rollout houses in a fast-changing environment filled with many uncertainties. Through multiple marketing channels and flexible housing purchasing schemes, Highwealth has gained much recognition in the market, and overall performance remains steady and
-4-
remarkable.
The capital stock of Highwealth has reached NT$12.9 billion. The corporate management of the Company is undergoing a transformation, crossing from its original simple role as a construction company to the development of land property. The focus of the business has also shifted to earning longterm and steady revenue streams. The Company shall also place its business focus on long-term and stable income. According to the current plans, in addition to the original housing cases, we also operate commercial real estate, such as commercial office building, hotels and even engage in community department stores. Recently, the Company obtained lands in the city center, which are expected for office buildings and luxurious hotels.
For 2021, we will continue to actively promote land-purchasing cases in the north, central and south; if approvals are obtained successfully, new high profile cases would include Ankang Section in Neihu, Qingsheng Section in Zhongli and Shanjie Section in Taoyuan in the north; high end office buildings in Huimin Section in Xitun District, Taichung City; Xindu Section in Sanmin District, Fushan Section in Zuoying District, “Boxiao Memories” in Boxiao Section in Qianjin District, and Qinghai Section in Gushan District (by the subsidiary Chyi Yuh Construction) in Kaohsiung City. Meanwhile, the Company continues to pay attention to all kinds of changes to national economy, business environment changes related to livelihood wealth. 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 the shareholders Highwealth’s consolidated revenue for 2020 of NT$24.5 billion, in which the contributing construction cases include Xinzhuang JieShiBao, Shuanghu Hui, Taipei CBD Times Square, Yuanshan No. 1 Courtyard, Taipei No.1 Courtyard, Haiyang Duxin Condominium, Chungyan A+ Condominium, Highwealth Manor, Tamei and Tahe Condominiums at Jiangcui District, Water Park Case in Zhubei City and disposal of Nangang Sanhsiao Land, etc. The construction cases in Taichung contributing to the revenue comprise Baida Fuyi Condominium, Hengyung Condominium, Legend of Orion, Castle of Orion, Boshi Condominium, Love of Orion, Taichung Country No.1 Courtyard, etc. In the south, the contributing construction cases include Huaren Hui Condominium, Yueh Cheng Condominium, Bo Yue Condominium, Da Yue Condominium, and King’s No.1 Courtyard, coupled with the revenue contributions from projects of the subsidiaries Chyi Yuh Construction and Boyuan Construction’s projects, namely Taipei Chungshan Kaiyan Condominium
-5-
and Hanlin Town, Runlong Construction’s projects, namely Jingxin Wenhui, Taichung NTC State Commercial and Trade Center, Taichung Di Bao Condominium, Kuo Pin Condominium, Runlong Condominium, Yueh Cheng Condominium. These numbers have created an after-tax profit of NT$2.11 per share for 2020!
Highwealth is committed to change and innovation. Apart from the contributions made by the steady sales of existing houses, including sales made by subsidiaries, new projects are launched consistently to cater to the market demand in northern, central, and southern Taiwan. For the northern and central areas, major projects worth over NT$10 billion will enter the market. In the next four years, new houses completed are expected to exceed NT$200 billion. We continue to maintain the leading position in the industry in terms of construction and land holding. We are hopeful that our projects will be well received in the respective areas.
We are well versed in asset management. Facing competition posed by our counterparts, we focus on our foundation in the core construction industry and plan for making exponential growth in the future. The Company has many projects all over Taiwan. In response to a severe labor shortage, we have made early preparations. In addition to the Building Information Modeling (BIM), which has already been in use for 10 years, and precast construction, the R&D on aluminum modules will be incorporated in the future to enhance efficiency and the quality of environmental protection. Although the costs will rise, the use of new technologies can be demonstrated and implemented at our sites in the northern, central and southern areas. The new technologies shall be helpful in increasing the engineering quality and the overall construction technology.
The housing market has become the main driving force of our economic growth. As the leading construction brand of the country, Highwealth is committed to our philosophy of “integrity” and “sustainable development”, while closely monitoring the housing demand and change in the economic environment. We insist on product improvement, high quality service, safety, active development and the financial health of the Company, creating the optimal profit and value for our customers, shareholders, employees and Taiwanese society.
We shall always remember our founding visions and strive to invest in building Taiwan, providing ample job opportunities. From a work force of 165 people when we were first listed in 2000, the number of employees of the Group has grown consistently to 1,500 people, an almost nine-fold increase in job opportunities! In the future, with the growth of the Group, we expect more partners to join our firm and
-6-
work toward developing the Taiwanese economy! Let us look forward to a better future together!
Finally, I would like to thank all gentlemen and ladies who are here today for your continued support and care. Thank you!!

-
(IV) Impacts posed by external competition, the regulatory environment and the overall business environment
-
External competition: According to the latest statistics of the Ministry of the Interior, a total of 326 thousand houses were transacted in Taiwan in 2020, which translated to a yearly growth of 8.76%, the highest in seven years, compared to 300 thousand houses or a yearly growth of 8.6% in 2019. Since the transaction volume bottomed in 2016, it has been rising for the past four years. In particular, in December 2020, a total of 35 thousand houses were transacted, which was the highest in 60 months, proving the housing market continued to recover in 2020. Currently, most of the industry counterparts cater mainly to the rigid demand of owner-occupied houses with small square footage and low prices. Meanwhile, commercial buildings will become the focus of attention in the future market. The Company has to strengthen its brand, innovate its products, and simultaneously add value and undertake flexible precision marketing, so as to continue to be the market leader 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 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 first quarter of 2020, the global economic development was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic. However,
-12-
fundamentally, Taiwan is a relatively safe and free environment, thus attracting foreign investments which have stimulated the local economy, job market and income level. Compounded by the relocation of 250 thousand Taiwanese talents back to Taiwan, the increase of first-time home owners (the population under 34 years old amounted to 4.7 million people), increase in construction costs (labor and material costs) and the zero interest rate environment globally, these factors prove that the property development sector has much growth momentum in the future. In conclusion, the Company is optimistic about the future of the housing market as this year will be a good opportunity for home buyers to purchase houses to live or invest in, and the profits of commercial office investments are especially stable and worth seizing.
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

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 parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
1. Revenue recognition
Please refer to note 4(o) and 6(w) 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 $18,074,191 thousands in 2020, 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. 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 6(e) of the parent company only financial statements for the accounting policies
-22-
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, 2020, inventory of the Company valued $97,465,526 thousands, constituting 72% 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 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.
-23-
-
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 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, 2020 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 Yilien Han and Ti-Nuan Chien.

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, 2020 and 2019, 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, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and with the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”), International Accounting Standards (“IASs”), interpretations developed by the International Financial Reporting Interpretations Committee ( “ IFRIC ” ) or the former Standing Interpretations Committee (“SIC”) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our 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.
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, 2020 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.
1. Revenue recognition
Please refer to note 4(q) and 6(y) of the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy 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 $22,657,004 thousand in 2020, 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.
-30-
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.
- Inventory valuation
“ ” Please refer to note 4(h)、Note 5 Revenue and 6(e) 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, 2020, inventory of the Group valued $132,633,229 thousand, constituting 73% 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, 2020 and 2019, 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.
-31-
’ 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 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.
-32-
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, 2020 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 Yilien Han and Ti-Nuan Chien.
