NT$859,965 thousand of last year. Net income for the period was $2,399,546 thousand, an increase of $2,040,922 thousand compared to $358,624 thousand last year.
Envisioning 2021
Although the global economic environment is still affected by the epidemic, the foreseeable unlocking of economic activities and the overall economic recovery is expected to push up the oil price slowly. Due to the failure of the Group's subsidiary, Jiangsu Jintung, in 109, the overall supply of detergent raw materials will still fall short of demand in the first half of the year. However, it is expected that the market will change again in the second half of the year due to increased production and supply from the industry. The Company will first keep up with the trend of international market, China market deployment and upstream and downstream production capacity, and then cooperate with market peers strategically to enhance the diversity of product choices to maximize the Group's interests.
In addition to closely observing and responding to price changes in the upstream and downstream markets, the Company will strive to maintain good relationships with suppliers, sign long-term contracts to secure stable raw materials, and actively improve production efficiency to reduce production costs and enhance the Group's competitiveness. With the two goals of product refinement and market segmentation and a reasonable strategic alliance, we will further improve our investment in base products and promote our other interface-activated products.

Independent Auditors’ Report
(110) TSAI-SHEN-PAO-TZU No. 20005091 To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Ho Tung Chemical Corp.
Opinion
We have audited the Consolidated Balance Sheets of Ho Tung Chemical Corp. and its subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as “the Group”) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Consolidated Comprehensive Income Statement of January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019 as well as the Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows and Consolidated Financial Statement Notes (including significant accounting policies summary).
In our opinions and based on the audit results of us and the audit reports of other CPAs (refer to the Section of Other Matters), the compilations of the above consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, of the consolidated financial status of December 31, 2020 and 2019 in the Group and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flow of January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019 prepared according to Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.
Basis for Opinion
The audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 was conducted by us in accordance with "Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants", "CHIN-KUAN-CHENGSHEN-TZU No. 1090360805 Letter Sent by the Financial Supervisory Commission on February 25, 2020" and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) of the Republic of China; the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 was conducted by us in accordance with "Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants" and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under these standards will be further explained in the paragraph about the external auditor's responsibility on auditing. We are independent of the Group in accordance with Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on the audit results of us and the audit
21
reports of other CPAs, we believe we have obtained sufficient and appropriate auditing evidence as the basis to express our audit opinions.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters refer to the most important matters on the audits to the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 based on professional judgment. The matters have been responded on the whole audited consolidated financial statements and during the process of the expression of the audit opinions. There, we won’t express opinions separately towards the matters. The key audit matters in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:
The accurate timing of export revenue recognition
Description
Please refer to Note XXIX to the consolidated financial report for details of the accounting policies for operating income.
The Group's sales of chemical-related products are mainly in foreign trade, and it transfers the control of the promised goods to the buyer and recognizes revenue at the time of the transfer of control. Delivery occurs when the product is delivered to the buyer, when the product is shipped to a specified location, when the risk of obsolescence and loss is transferred to the customer, and when the customer accepts the product pursuant to the sales contract, or when there is objective evidence that all acceptance criteria have been met. As the transaction amount is significant and sales revenue is a key indicator in determining the achievement of operating and financial objectives and investors' expectations, the timing of revenue recognition close to the date of the financial statements may not be appropriate, and we therefore list the correct timing of the recognition of the Group's export revenue as one of the most important matters in the current year's audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
The procedures that the accountant has performed in response to the above critical audits are summarized below:
-
Review sales contracts and orders to confirm that revenue recognition is consistent with the terms of the contracts and their related trading conditions.
-
Analyze the changes in sales of various products to understand and recognize the nature of the significant changes.
-
Conduct a sample test on the export revenue in an appropriate period after the date of the financial statements, including the content of the transaction
22
agreement, terms of trade and relevant supporting documents, and recognize the revenue in an appropriate period.
Valuation of accounts receivable
Description
Please refer to Notes IV(IX), IV(X), V(II), VI(V) and VII(II) to the consolidated financial statements for the accounting policy, accounting estimates and assumptions and description of accounting items for the impairment assessment of the accounts receivable.
The assessment of impairment of accounts receivable by the Group was based on an individual assessment of the probability of collection of accounts receivable and a collective assessment of expected credit losses. The assessing process of the impairment of accounts receivable was affected by several factors, such as the financial conditions of customers, the Group's internal credit rating, and historical transaction history. This may affect the factor assessment of the customers’ credit quality and involve the subjective judgement of the management with high uncertainty in the estimate. Considering that the evaluation of the Group's accounts receivable and their evaluation amounts have a significant effect on the consolidated financial statements and the valuation of accounts receivable shall be decided by using judgement and estimate, we thus listed the valuation of accounts receivable as one of the key audit matters.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
The procedures that have been performed in respect of the above critical audit matters are set out below:
-
Understand and evaluate the policies and internal controls related to credit risk management and impairment assessment of accounts receivable.
-
Review the supporting documents provided by management to assess the reasonableness of the collection possibility for significant accounts receivable beyond the normal credit period.
-
Check the original certificates and accounts receivable with significant amounts randomly to verify the collection situation after the period.
Oil Spill at the Pier - Provisioning for Liabilities
Description
23
As described in Note 9(1) to the Consolidated Financial Statements, an oil spill occurred on October 24, 2013 at the West No.7 Pier of Taichung Port by Chenergy Global Corp. Management has engaged a professional environmental engineering team and lawyers to assess the environmental restoration obligations and legal proceedings arising from the incident, the impact of which is likely to be significant and the estimation of a liability provision in accordance with IAS 37 requires the exercise of significant accounting judgement on the part of management. Accordingly, our CPAs consider Chenergy Global Corp's provision for the liabilities arising from this incident to be one of the most significant matters to be audited for the year.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
The financial statements of Chenergy Global Corp were audited by other CPAs, with procedures already performed in respect of the above critical audit items set out below:
-
Interviewing with Chenergy Global Corp management to understand their assessment of the pending environmental restoration and litigation case.
-
Discussing the progress of the case with outside counsel and reviewing the case's documents issued and received.
-
Obtaining management's self-assessment documents on environmental restoration and legal advice letters from external lawyers on outstanding litigation cases.
-
Assessing the appropriateness of the related liability provision and disclosure of contingent liabilities.
Other matters - Reference to the audits of other independent accountants
The financial statements of certain subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial statements of the Group have not been audited by us, but rather by other CPAs. As a result, in our opinion on the above consolidated financial statements, the amounts included in the financial statements of the subsidiaries and the related information disclosed in Note XIII are based on the audit report prepared by other CPAs. The total assets of the subsidiaries were NT$4,601,800 thousands and NT$4,954,599 thousands as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, accounting for 18.95% and 20.83% of the consolidated total assets, respectively. The net operating revenue from January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019 was NT$3,134,625 thousands and NT$5,707,782 thousands, respectively, representing 12.13% and 20.79% of the consolidated net operating income. In addition, HT-S-Venture Philippines Corporation and Tung Bao Co., Ltd., investment made by the Group using the equity method, are based on the evaluation and disclosure in the financial
24
statements audited by other CPAs appointed by the companies. The investment balance as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was NT$297,335 thousands and NT$297,152 thousands, respectively, accounting for 1.22% and 1.25% of the total consolidated assets. Comprehensive income from January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019 was NT$ 2,070 thousands and NT$1,625 thousands, respectively, constituting 0.08% and 0.99% of consolidated comprehensive income, respectively.
Other matter - Parent company only financial reports
Ho Tung Chemical Corp. has prepared a parent company only financial statements for the years 2020 and 2019, with us issuing a report with unqualified opinions and other matters for reference.
Responsibility of the management and the governing body for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management’s responsibility is to prepare the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, according to Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission as well as maintain necessary internal control related to the preparation of the consolidated financial statements in order to ensure there is no major untrue expression on the financial statements due to fraud or error.
When preparing the consolidated financial statements, the responsibility of management also includes evaluating the Group’s capability of continuous operation, disclosure of relevant matters, and the application of continuous operation accounting model unless the management intends to liquidate the Group or suspend it business operation or there is no alternative practical and feasible solution other than liquidation or business suspension.
The governance unit at the Group (including Audit Committee) is responsible for supervising the process of financial reports.
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
The purpose of the consolidated financial statements audited by us is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the significant untrue expression exists on the whole consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error as well as issue the audit report. The reasonable assurance is the high certainty; however, it won’t be able to guarantee that the significant untrue expression will definitely be able to be detected by generally accepted auditing standards, and the untrue expression might be caused
25
from fraud or error. It is regarded as with significance if the individual amount or the aggregation number of the untrue expression can reasonably predict that it will affect the economic decisions made by the users of the consolidated financial statements.
When we conduct the audit according to generally accepted auditing standards, we use professional judgment and maintain our professional suspicion. We also executed the following tasks:
-
Identifying and evaluating the risk of major untrue expression on the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error; designing and implementing proper responding strategies towards the risk evaluated; and obtaining sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis of audit opinions. Due to fraud might be involving with collusion, counterfeiting, malicious omission untrue declaration, or going out of the internal control, the risk of not detecting the major untrue expression due to fraud will be higher than that due to error.
-
Obtaining necessary understanding of internal control related to audit in order to design proper audit procedure under the situation of the case. However, its purpose is not to express opinion toward the effectiveness of the internal control in the Group.
-
Evaluating the adequacy of the accounting policies used by the management and the rationality of the accounting evaluation and relevant disclosure concluded.
-
Based on the audit evidence obtained, conclusion towards the appropriateness of continuous operation accounting basis that the management adopts and the existence of major uncertainty on events or situations with major concerns affecting the Group’s capability in continuous operation are made. If we believe major uncertainty existed on the event or situation, we must remind the users of consolidated financial statements on the audit report to pay attention on the relevant disclosure or modify audit opinion when the disclosure is not appropriate. The conclusion that we made is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the audit report day, but future events or situations might cause the Group not capable in continuous operation.
-
Evaluating the overall expression, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements (including relevant notes) as well as whether the consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, relevant transaction and events.
-
Obtaining sufficient and appropriated audit evidence of the financial information from the individual entity within the group as well as express opinions towards financial statements. We are in charge of the directing,
26
supervision, and execution on the consolidated audit cases as well as concluding audit opinions on the consolidated financial statements.
The communication between us and the governing unit includes the audit scope and time planned and major audit findings (including the significant defects on the internal control identified during the auditing process).
We have also provided information to the governing body that the personnel of the firm—under which we are working—who are subject to independence requirements have complied with the statement of independence in the R.O.C. CPA code of professional ethics and communicated to the governing body all relationships and other matters (including relevant safeguards) that may be considered to affect the independence of CPAs.
We determined the key audit matters that we would like to execute on the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 from the communication with the governing unit. We clearly stated the related matters on the audit report unless it is the specific matter that is not allowed to be disclosed to the public according to laws, or under a very rare situation that we decided not to communicate specific matters on the audit report because we can reasonably anticipate the negative influence generated by the communication will be greater than the public interests increased.

Independent Auditors’ Report
(109) TSAI-SHEN-PAO-TZU No. 200004866 To the Board of Directors of Ho Tung Chemical Corp.:
Opinion
We have audited the Parent Company Only Balance Sheet of Ho Tung Chemical Corp. (hereinafter referred to as the Company) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Parent Company Only Comprehensive Income Statement of January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019, as well as the Parent Company Only Statements of Changes in Equity, Parent Company Only Statements of Cash Flows and Parent Company Only Financial Statement Notes (including important accounting policies summary).
In our opinions and based on the audit results of us and the audit reports of other CPAs (refer to the Section of Other Matters), the compilations of the above Parent Company Only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, of the Parent Company Only financial status of December 31, 2020 and 2019 in the Company and the Parent Company Only financial performance and Parent Company Only cash flow of January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019 prepared according to Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
The audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 was conducted by us in accordance with "Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants", "CHIN-KUAN-CHENGSHEN-TZU No. 1090360805 Letter Sent by the Financial Supervisory Commission on February 25, 2020" and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) of the Republic of China; the audit of the financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2019 was conducted by us in accordance with "Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants" and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards (GAAS) of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under these standards will be further explained in the paragraph about the external auditor's responsibility on auditing. We are independent of the Company in accordance with Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. Based on the audit results of us and the audit reports of other CPAs, we believe we have obtained sufficient and appropriate auditing evidence as the basis to express our audit opinions.
36
Emphasis of Matter
As stated in Note I(II) and Note XII(II) to the parent company only financial statements, Ho Tung Chemical Corp on September 10, 2020 merged its 100%-owned subsidiaries, He Hsin Cheng Co. and Hua Tung Investment Co., in a short-form manner, and the merger was a reorganization under common control. According to the IFRS Q&A and related interpretations issued by the Accounting Research and Development Foundation, the comparative financial statements being prepared should be deemed as a consolidation and restatement of prior years' financial statements from the beginning and we have not modified our audit opinion accordingly.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters refer to the most important matters on the audits to the Company’s Parent Company Only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 based on the professional judgment. The matters have been responded on the whole audited Parent Company Only financial statements and during the process of the expression of the audit opinions. There, we won’t express opinions separately towards the matters.
The key audit matters in the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are as follows:
The accurate timing of export revenue recognition
Description
Please refer to Note IV (XXVIII) to the consolidated financial report for details of the accounting policies for operating income.
Ho Tung Group's sales of chemical-related products are mainly in foreign trade, and it transfers the control of the promised goods to the buyer and recognizes revenue at the time of the transfer of control. Delivery occurs when the product is delivered to the buyer, when the product is shipped to a specified location, when the risk of obsolescence and loss is transferred to the customer, and when the customer accepts the product pursuant to the sales contract, or when there is objective evidence that all acceptance criteria have been met. As the transaction amount is significant and Income from Sales of Goods is a key indicator in determining the achievement of operating and financial objectives and investors' expectations, the timing of revenue recognition close to the date of the financial statements may not be appropriate. We list the Group's export revenue as one of the most important matters in the current year's audit.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
37
The procedures that we have performed in response to the above critical audits are summarized below:
-
Review sales contracts and orders to confirm that revenue recognition is consistent with the terms of the contracts and their related trading conditions.
-
Analyze the changes in sales of various products to understand and recognize the nature of the significant changes.
-
Conduct a sample test on the export revenue in an appropriate period after the date of the financial statements, including the content of the transaction agreement, terms of trade and relevant supporting documents, and recognize the revenue in an appropriate period.
Evaluation of Accounts Receivable
Description
Please refer to Note IV(VIII), IV(IX), V(II) and VI(IV) to the parent company only financial statements for details of the accounting policy on accounts receivable, accounting estimates for impairment assessment and description of accounting assumptions.
Ho Tung Chemical Corp assesses the impairment of accounts receivable by assessing the probability of collection of accounts receivable individually and on a collective basis based on expected credit losses. The process of assessing impairment of receivables is affected by a number of factors, such as the financial position of the customer, the Group's internal credit ratings, historical transaction history, etc. These factors, which may affect the credit quality of customers, involve subjective management judgement and are subject to a high degree of estimation uncertainty. We consider that Ho Tung Group's accounts receivable and their valuation amounts have a significant impact on the consolidated financial statements and that the valuation of accounts receivable requires the use of judgement and estimates. Therefore, we have identified the valuation of accounts receivable as one of the most significant matters to be audited during the year.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
The procedures that have been performed in respect of the above critical audit matters are set out below:
-
Understanding and assessing policies and internal controls relating to credit risk management and impairment assessment of accounts receivable.
-
Reviewing the supporting documentation provided by management to assess the reasonableness of the probability of recovery regarding significant accounts receivable beyond the normal credit period.
38
- Conducting random checks of original certificates and accounts receivable of significant amounts to verify their collection after the period.
Evaluation on balance of investments using equity method
Please refer to Note IV (XIII) to the Parent Company Only financial statements for the accounting policy for investments under the equity method and Note VI (VI) to the Parent Company Only financial statements for the description of accounting items.
Ho Tung Chemical Corp. holds the investment balance of its subsidiary Chenergy Global (hereinafter referred to as Chenergy) under the equity method and the share of profit and loss of the subsidiary, affiliated enterprise and joint venture recognized using the equity method in 2020, which has a significant impact on the financial statements of Ho Tung Chemical Corp. We have included Chenergy's critical audit matter of the oil spill at the pier - provision for liabilities as a critical audit matter of Ho Tung Chemical Corp, as described below:
Description
An oil spill occurred on Oct 24, 2013 at the West No.7 Pier of Taichung Port by Chenergy. Management has engaged a professional environmental engineering team and lawyers to assess the environmental restoration obligations and legal proceedings arising from the incident, the impact of which is likely to be significant and the estimation of a liability provision in accordance with IAS 37 requires the exercise of significant accounting judgement on the part of management. Accordingly, our CPAs consider Chenergy's provision for the liabilities arising from this incident to be one of the most significant matters to be audited for the year.
How the matter was addressed in our audit
The consolidated financial statements of Chenergy are audited by other CPAs. The procedures performed by other CPAs regarding the above critical audits are listed below:
-
Interview management for their assessment of the unresolved environmental restoration and litigation cases.
-
Discuss the progress of the case with an external attorney and review the correspondence on the case.
-
Acquire the management's self-assessment letters for environmental restoration and legal advisory letters from outside counsel for pending litigation.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of the related provision for liabilities and disclosure of contingent liabilities.
39
Other matters - Reference to the audits of other independent auditors
The financial statements of certain investee companies accounted for using equity method included in the Parent Company Only financial statements of Ho Tung Group have not been audited by us, but rather by other CPAs. As a result, in our opinion on the above consolidated financial statements, the amounts included in the financial statements of the subsidiaries and the related information disclosed in Note XIII are based on the audit report prepared by other CPAs. The total assets of the aforementioned companies accounted for using equity method were NT$2,532,452 thousands and $2,999,323 thousands as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, accounting for 17.41% and 21.57% of the consolidated total assets, respectively. The recognized liabilities from January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019 was NT$64,537 thousands and $76,645 thousands, respectively, representing 2.92% and 2.24% of the total liabilities. The recognized comprehensive income towards the aforementioned companies from January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019 was NT$(764,503) thousands and NT$(40,760) thousands, respectively, constituting (41.15%) and 10.96% of the comprehensive income, respectively.
Responsibility of the Management and the Governing Body for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management’s responsibility is to prepare the Parent Company Only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, according to Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers as well as maintain necessary internal control related to the preparation of the Parent Company Only financial statements in order to ensure there is no major untrue expression on the financial statements due to fraud or error.
When preparing the Parent Company Only financial statements, the responsibility of management also includes evaluating The Company’s capability of continuous operation, disclosure of relevant matters, and the application of continuous operation accounting model unless the management intends to liquidate The Company or suspend it business operation or there is no alternative practical and feasible solution other than liquidation or business suspension.
The governance unit at The Company (including Audit Committee) is responsible for supervising the process of financial reports
Auditor's responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements
40
The purpose of the Parent Company Only financial statements audited by us is to obtain reasonable assurance on whether the significant untrue expression exists on the whole Parent Company Only financial statements due to fraud or error as well as issue the audit report. The reasonable assurance is the high certainty; however, it won’t be able to guarantee that the significant untrue expression will definitely be able to be detected by generally accepted auditing standards, and the untrue expression might be caused from fraud or error. It is regarded as with significance if the Parent Company Only amount or the aggregation number of the untrue expression can reasonably predict that it will affect the economic decisions made by the users of the Parent Company Only financial statements.
When we conduct the audit according to generally accepted auditing standards, we use professional judgment and maintain our professional suspicion. We also executed the following tasks:
-
Identifying and evaluating the risk of major untrue expression on the Parent Company Only financial statements due to fraud or error; designing and implementing proper responding strategies towards the risk evaluated; and obtaining sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis of audit opinions. Due to fraud might be involving with collusion, counterfeiting, malicious omission untrue declaration, or going out of the internal control, the risk of not detecting the major untrue expression due to fraud will be higher than that due to error.
-
Obtaining necessary understanding of internal control related to audit in order to design proper audit procedure under the situation of the case. However, its purpose is not to express opinion toward the effectiveness of the internal control in The Company.
-
Evaluating the adequacy of the accounting policies used by the management and the rationality of the accounting evaluation and relevant disclosure concluded.
-
Based on the audit evidence obtained, conclusion towards the appropriateness of continuous operation accounting basis that the management adopts and the existence of major uncertainty on events or situations with major concerns affecting The Company’s capability in continuous operation are made. If we believe major uncertainty existed on the event or situation, we must remind the users of Parent Company Only financial statements on the audit report to pay attention on the relevant disclosure or modify audit opinion when the disclosure is not appropriate. The conclusion that we made is based on the audit evidence obtained up to the audit report day, but future events or situations might cause the Company not capable in continuous operation.
41
-
Evaluating the overall expression, structure and content of the Parent Company Only financial statements (including relevant notes) as well as whether the Parent Company Only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, relevant transaction and events.
-
Obtaining sufficient and appropriated audit evidence of the financial information from the Consolidated entity within the Company as well as express opinions towards financial statements. We are in charge of the directing, supervision, and execution on the Parent Company Only audit cases as well as concluding audit opinions on the Parent Company Only financial statements.
The communication between us and the governing unit includes the audit scope and time planned and major audit findings (including the significant defects on the internal control identified during the auditing process).
We have also provided information to the governing body that the personnel of the firm—under which we are working—who are subject to independence requirements have complied with the statement of independence in the R.O.C. CPA code of professional ethics and communicated to the governing body all relationships and other matters (including relevant safeguards) that may be considered to affect the independence of CPAs.
We determined the key audit matters that we would like to execute on the Company’s Parent Company Only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 from the communication with the governing unit. We clearly stated the related matters on the audit report unless it is the specific matter that is not allowed to be disclosed to the public according to laws, or under a very rare situation that we decided not to communicate specific matters on the audit report because we can reasonably anticipate the negative influence generated by the communication will be greater than the public interests increased.

met after two postponements are still not met, the chairperson shall declare the meeting adjourned.

- Article 12: Voting of a shareholders' meeting shall be calculated based on the number of shares.
For the resolutions of the shareholders' meeting, the number of shares of the non-voting shareholders is not included in the total number of issued shares.
When a shareholder is an interested party in any item of the agenda, and there is the likelihood that such a conflict of interest would prejudice the shareholder, that shareholder may not vote on that item and may not exercise voting rights as a proxy for any other shareholder.
The shares of the unexecuted voting rights shall not be calculated in the voting number of the attending shareholders.
Except for the trust business or the stock agency approved by the securities regulatory authority, when one person is entrusted by two or more shareholders at the same time, the proxy voting rights shall not exceed three percent of the total voting rights of the issued shares.

If the notice of retraction is submitted after that time, the voting rights already exercised by correspondence or electronic means shall prevail.
When a shareholder has exercised voting rights both by correspondence or electronic means and by appointing a proxy to attend a shareholders' meeting, the voting rights exercised by the proxy in the meeting shall prevail.
Except as otherwise provided in the Company Act and in the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the adoption of a proposal shall require an affirmative vote of a majority of the voting rights represented by the attending shareholders.
At the time of a vote, for each proposal, the chairperson or a person designated by the chairperson shall first announce the total number of voting rights represented by the attending shareholders, followed by a poll of the shareholders. After the conclusion of the meeting, on the same day it is held, the results for each proposal, based on the numbers of votes for and against and the number of abstentions, shall be entered into the MOPS.
When there is an amendment or an alternative to a proposal, the chairperson shall present the amended or alternative proposal together with the original proposal and decide the order in which they will be put to a vote.
When any one among them is passed, the other proposals will then be deemed rejected, and no further voting shall be required.
