Item 3 (Proposed by the Board of Directors)
Proposal: Acknowledgment of the sign a contract for the joint construction and allocation of housing units with ASE Inc., Chung-Li Branch.
Explanation:
-
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. Zhongli Branch (hereinafter referred to as ASE Zhongli Branch) plans to build a new plant in response to the demand for future capacity expansion and has purchased 3 pieces of land, including the Nei Li section of Zhongli District, Taoyuan City, of which the above-ground buildings been built for more than 30 years and are eligible for urban renewal. ASE Zhongli Branch decides to cooperate with the Company for this case based on the Company's professional construction team and familiarity with the urban renewal process, also the previous joint construction of the factory building with ASE Zhongli Branch in Zhongli. The Company has also jointly built factory buildings with ASE and its affiliated companies many times in Kaoshiung and has been able to fully grasp the various operating procedures of ASE's plant construction, which helps to control the progress of this new plant.
-
With reference to the appraisal reports from the professional institutions CBRE Global Commercial Real Estate Services and DTZ Cushman & Wakefield Real Estate Appraiser Office, and after negotiating with ASE Zhongli Branch, the allocation basis was based on the average value of the joint construction distribution ratio assessed by the two appraisers, and Hung Ching obtained 69.20%.
-
Please refer to Pages 11-14 of the Handbook for details of related party joint construction evaluation in accordance with the "Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets".
-
The contract also requires the following:
-
① ASE Zhongli Branch and the Company are both listed as proprietors.
-
② In order to shorten the preliminary preparation time, the selection and allocation of ASE Zhongli Branch will be determined after obtaining the measurement results and before the first registration of the property rights. In the event that the building area to be allocated by ASE Zhongli Branch is more than or less than the full number of units, both parties agree to make a
9
supplemental agreement with reference to the valuation amount and upon negotiation between both parties.
- ③ Upon the completion of the construction of ASE Zhongli Plant II, if ASE Zhongli Branch intends to implement the pre-emptive rights, in order to simplify the transfer of real estate transactions, the transfer of land rights registered with the Company shall be exempted from the registration procedures, and the price of land rights shall be paid directly by ASE Zhongli Branch to the Company.
- ④ Both parties agree that the distribution ratio may be renegotiated in either of the following circumstances:
- a. The difference between the gross floor area under development and the current planned area upon the acquisition of the license is more than 3% (i.e. the change is more than 1,919 square meters).
- b. Considering that during the pandemic, it is difficult to accurately estimate the construction costs. After the completion of the ASE Zhongli Plant II, the Company will provide the total costs of construction, and the original appraisal agencies will re-calculate the distribution ratio. If the increase or decrease in the distribution ratio exceeds 5% of the originally agreed sharing ratio for the landowner (that is, the increase or decrease is more than 1.54%).
-
After obtaining the license, if both parties need to re-negotiate the distribution ratio according to the joint construction contract, it is proposed that the Audit Committee be authorized to deal with it at its absolute discretion within a range of 10% of the change in the Company’s distribution ratio (i.e. the distribution ratio of the Company changed to 62.28% ~ 76.12%).
-
Attachment: Assessment of Joint Construction with Related Party (please refer to Page 11-14 of the Handbook).
Resolution:
10
Hung Ching Development & Construction Co., Ltd. Assessment of Joint Construction with Related Party
-
I. Purpose, Necessity, and Anticipated Benefit of the Joint Construction:
-
Purpose of Joint Construction: As a result of the transfer of crossborder supply chains caused by the China-US trade war and the COVID-19 pandemic, Taiwanese companies have continued to return to Taiwan for investment in the past 2-3 years. The demand for industrial land was greater than the supply, and the demand for plants was increasing. However, the search for suitable industrial land is not easy, thus it is a good way to obtain the real estate of the plant through joint construction. In addition, upon the completion of the plant, the Company’s allocated plant will be available for sale to ASE or its affiliates if there is a demand from Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as ASE) or its affiliates. If ASE or its affiliates do not have such demand, the popularity of the factory will increase with ASE's entry, and it also helps for sales to other electronics companies. It is beneficial to the Company's operating income and operating interests in general.
-
Necessity: The land, in this case, was purchased by ASE Zhongli Branch in advance. If the Company wants to increase the inventory of the plant for sale, it must be acquired through joint construction. The ASE Zhongli Branch provides the land, and Hung Ching is responsible for the construction of the building. Therefore, there is a need for joint construction.
-
Anticipated Benefit: The estimated total sales amount of the factory building is approximately NT$5 billion to $5.3 billion, based on a distribution ratio of 69.20%. The successful completion of the construction in the future would create approximately NT$3.46 billion to $3.7 billion of operating income for the Company, after deducting the estimated input cost of NT$3 billion, the estimated operating gross profit is from NT$460 million to $700 million and the gross profit margin is approximately 13% to 19%. (The anticipated benefits are estimated values, and the actual amount will be processed in accordance with the Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets
11
upon completion.)
-
II. Reasons for choosing the related party as a trading counterparty:
-
The land was purchased first by ASE, and the above-ground buildings have been built for more than 30 years and are eligible for urban renewal. ASE Zhongli Branch decides to cooperate with the Company for this case based on the Company's professional construction team and familiarity with the urban renewal process, also the previous joint construction of the factory building with ASE Zhongli Branch in Zhongli. The Company has also jointly built factory buildings with ASE and its affiliated companies many times in Kaoshiung and has been able to fully grasp the various operating procedures of ASE's plant construction, which helps to control the progress of this new plant.
-
As a joint construction party, upon completion of the construction of the new plant, ASE has priority to purchase. Although the joint construction is with a related party, as long as the transaction process is transparent and the distribution ratio is reasonable and in compliance with the requirements of the relevant authorities, the transactions with the related party do not infringe upon its proper and legal behavior.
-
III. The date and price at which the related party originally acquired the real property, the original trading counterparty, and its relationship with the Company and the related party:
The land of ASE Zhongli Plant II was acquired by ASE Zhongli Branch from a non-related party by itself and the plant was built together with the Company. Since it is a joint construction project, the original acquisition date, price, and the trading counterparty of the related party are not applicable in this case.

Discussion Items
Item 3 (Proposed by the Board of Directors)
-
Proposal: Authorize the Board of Directors to select one or a combination of options or a combination of domestic issuance of common stocks by cash capital increase, issuance of common stock by cash capital increase to participate in the issuance of overseas depositary receipts, or the issuance of domestic and foreign convertible corporate bonds to raise funds at the appropriate time.
-
Explanation: In response to one or more capital needs such as enriching working capital, repaying bank loans, and reinvesting, it is proposed to request the shareholders' meeting to authorize the Board of Directors to perform domestic issuance of common stocks by cash capital increase, issuance of common stocks by cash capital increase to participate in the issuance of overseas depositary receipts, or the issuance of domestic and foreign convertible corporate bonds at an appropriate time, depending on the current financial market conditions. The Board of Directors is authorized by the shareholders' meeting to raise funds in stages or simultaneously by selecting one or a combination of the aforementioned financing tools within one year from the date of the resolution of the shareholders' meeting within the limit of not more than 270,000,000 common shares. The content of the method is described as follows:
-
Authorization of issue new common shares by participation of a GDR Offering:
-
(1) The capital increase by cash is to participate in the issuance of overseas depositary receipts. The number of shares to be issued is limited to not more than 270,000,000 shares. The Board of Directors and the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall be authorized by the shareholders' meeting to adjust the issuance quota in one or in installments within the aforementioned quota range according to market conditions.
-
(2) The issuance price for the issuance of new shares to
-
32
participate in the issuance of overseas depositary receipts for cash capital increase is based on the "Self-Regulatory Rules for Underwriters' Guidance on Issuing Companies' Raising and Issuing Securities" by the Taiwan Securities Association, which may not lower than the closing price of the Company's common stock at the fixed price in the domestic centralized trading market on the price setting date, the simple arithmetic average of the closing price of the common stock calculated on one, three, and five business days before the price setting date, deducting the free allotment ex-right and the average after the exdividend 90% of the stock price. However, if there are changes in relevant domestic laws and regulations, the pricing method must also be adjusted in accordance with the laws and regulations. As the frequent short-term fluctuations in domestic stock prices, the actual issue price is within the aforementioned range. The Chairman is authorized to comply with international practices and refer to international capital market, domestic market prices, and aggregated ring-buying conditions, etc., which are determined by the securities underwriters to increase the acceptance of overseas investors. Therefore, the way of setting the price of issuance shall be reasonable. In addition, the method of determining the price of issuance of overseas depositary receipts is based on the fair-trading market price of common stocks formed in the domestic centralized trading market. The original shareholders are still able to approach the price of issuance of overseas depositary receipts and purchase common stocks in the domestic stock market without having to bear exchange risks and liquidity risks; therefore, there shall be no significant impact on shareholders' equity.
(3) For common stocks issued by cash increase in accordance with the Article 267 of Company Act, there shall be 10 to 15% of new shares reserved for subscription by employees
33
of the Company. After the original shareholders waive subscription rights, the remained 85%~95% shares, pursuant to the Article 28-1 of Securities and Exchange Act, all shares shall be allocated to public offering as marketable securities for the issuance of GDR. It is proposed that any new common shares not subscribed by employees and domestic shareholders may be allocated to shares offered by the GDR program.
-
(4) The funds raised by the issuance of new shares through cash capital increase and participation in the issuance of overseas depositary receipts are expected to be used for one or more purposes such as enriching working capital, repaying bank loans, or reinvesting, etc. It is expected to be implemented within two years after the fundraising is completed. The implementation of the plan is expected to have benefits such as strengthening the industry's position, enhancing long-term competitiveness, improving the financial structure, saving interest expenses, etc., and will also benefit shareholders' equity.
-
(5) The main content of the cash capital increase plan, including the issue price, the number of shares to be issued, the issuance conditions, the source of funds, the planned items, the amount raised, the scheduled progress, the expected benefits, and the capital increase base date, and other related matters, and the participation in the issuance plan for the issuance of overseas depositary receipts, will be authorized to the Board of Directors for further planning.
-
(6) The timing of cash capital increase and participation in the issuance of overseas depository receipts, issuance conditions, the number of issues, the amount of issuance and all other matters relating to cash capital increase and participation in the issuance of overseas depositary receipts, shall be fully authorized to the Board of Directors for approval by the competent authority and on the basis
34
of operational assessment or changes due to objective circumstances in the future.
-
(7) The Board of Directors is authorized to handle all matters which are not addressed herein, in accordance with the applicable laws and regulations.

The final price shall be reported to the regulatory authority before issuance.
-

-
① Issuance of public offering:
- Besides retaining 10%~15% of the issued shares in accordance with Article 267 of the Company Act, the employees will give priority to subscribe based on the actual issue price; in addition, 10% of the total amount of new shares to be issued is allocated to the public in accordance with Article 28-1 of the Securities and Exchange Act, and the remaining 75%~80% will be presubscribed by the original shareholders according to the shareholding ratio of the subscription base date.

35
the Chairman of the Board of Directors shall be authorized to designate a specific person to subscribe at the issued price.

Attachment 1
Business Report
Introduction
Affected by COVID-19 in 2021, people's panic emotions increased, and the housing market was temporarily severely impacted in the first half year. However, with the pandemic eased in the second half of the year, people's confidence returned to the market, coupled with the historically low interest rate, the transfer of capital from the stock market to the property market, and Taiwanese businesses returned from China to Taiwan, the housing market recorded a steady upward trend, and the real estate prices in many regions reached a record high. Therefore, in order to curb real estate speculation, the government implemented House and Land Transactions Income Tax 2.0 and Actual Price Registration of Real Estate 2.0 in July 2021. The Central Bank also took three steps of measures to reduce real estate speculation in 2021. However, the rigid demand from self-occupiers in the market is still strong, coupled with the impact of rising land acquisition costs, lack of labor, and soaring prices of raw materials such as steel bars and cement, house prices and housing transaction volumes in 2021 remain high. According to statistics from the Ministry of the Interior, the number of registered buildings for sale and transfer in 2021 reached 348,000, setting a new record in the past eight years.
Operating Performance
The consolidated operating income in 2021 is NT$6,990,216 thousand, mainly from the sale of residential housing cases such as "Tucheng SunMoon Light", "Hung Ching Lustrous" in Xinzhuang, "Emperor Court" on Yanping South Road, and "Liyuan" in Xizhi, and the K25 plant office building in Kaohsiung, etc., accounted for 95% of the total operating income. Other income from real estate leasing and labor services accounted for 5% of operating income. After deducting NT$4,645,413 thousand for construction and leasing costs, the operating gross profit is NT$2,344,803 thousand. In addition, operating expenses are NT$592,850 thousand, plus the net non-
40
operating profit of NT$38,721 thousand, and deducting the income tax expenses of NT$186,655 thousand, the consolidated net profit is NT$1,604,019 thousand. The Company's individual after-tax net profit is NT$1,619,178 thousand, and the earnings per share is NT$6.19.
2022 Operating Plan
"For the 2022 operating plan, in addition to the sale of residential projects of "Emperor Court" on Yanping South Road, the projects under construction continue. The construction of residential building in the Mingde section of Tucheng is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022 and to be sold in the first quarter of 2023; the Kaohsiung K13 factory building with a floor area of approximately 108,760.49 square meters commenced construction in October 2020 and is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2024; the Kaohsiung K27 factory building with a floor area of approximately 29,090.95 square meters commenced construction in October 2021 and is expected to be completed in the fourth quarter of 2022; the ASE Zhongli Plant II with a gross floor area of approximately 63,801.75 square meters, which is expected to commence construction in July 2022 and be completed in the fourth quarter of 2024. The Zhubei joint construction project is planned as 7 major areas, the soil and water conservation project is expected to be completed in the second quarter of 2022, and is expected to apply for the license for construction of section A in the fourth quarter.
Future Operating Outlook
Looking forward to 2022, there will be several changes in the market. First of all, the war between Russia and Ukraine has not stopped, and the global stock market has plummeted. Under the embargo on Russian oil in Europe and the United States and sanctions against Russia by many countries, costs of bulk raw materials have risen, which has caused the economy shrouded in the shadow of inflation even worse. In addition, the United States may enter a cycle of raising interest rates, and Taiwan may follow suit, the low-interest environment may turn a corner. However, with the return of Taiwanese business's capital, the semiconductor factories continuing to
41
expand investments, inflation, and rising land and construction costs, real estate is still the best value preservation target compared to other financial products. It is estimated that this year (2021) with the low interest rates and the rigid buyers' needs supporting the housing market, housing prices and transactions performance will remain stable.
In the next few years, the Company will focus on the development of factory buildings for the needs of the affiliated enterprises and the joint construction project in Zhubei. The purchased land in the 7th and 14th Redevelopment Zone in Taichung is also under planning. Regarding the urban planning land in Puqian Section of Banqiaopu District, New Taipei City, once the Ministry of the Interior has approved the review, the land allocated for construction will be planned and developed as soon as possible. In addition, the Company is still actively looking for land inventories in good locations for future business development.
Thank you again for your support and advice over the year, and wish you good health and all the best!

Attachment 3
Independent Auditors' Report
To: The Board of Directors and Shareholders Hung Ching Development & Construction Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of the Hung Ching Development & Construction Co., Ltd. and its subsidiaries (the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity, and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (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 Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements" section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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.
44
Key audit matters for the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 are stated as follows:
- Sales Revenue of Building and Land Related Party Transactions
For the year ended December 21, 2021, revenue from sale of real estate was NT$6,662,600 thousand, representing 95% of the total operating revenue and being material in the consolidated financial statements, and it is one of the major revenue sources of the Group. Although the customers of the real estate sold are unspecified, the transaction amounted to NT$2,362,000 thousand for the sale of the E building factory in Kaohsiung Industrial Park II to an investor with significant influence. Considering that the transactions with related parties are more controllable and the reasonableness of the terms of the related party transactions and their commercial substance shall have a significant impact on the presentation of these transactions in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, it has been deemed as one of key audit matters by us to determine whether or not the recognition of revenue from sale of real estate has met the requirements of revenue recognition. Please refer to Notes 4, 21 and 27 of the consolidated financial statements.
The main audit procedures performed on the specific levels in respect of the abovementioned key audit matter for the audit of the year are as follows:
-
1 We understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls related to the sales cycle.
-
2 We obtain sales contracts from related parties to understand the purpose, price and payment terms of the transactions and to evaluate whether the transactions are commercially reasonable and the basis for pricing.
-
3 Issuance of letters of inquiry regarding related party sales transactions.
Other Matters
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Hung Ching Construction Development Co., Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
The management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers "and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission 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.
45
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 members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors' report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
1 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.
-
2 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
3 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
4 Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting 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
46
opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
5 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.
-
6 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 remain solely responsible for our opinion to the Group.
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 Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 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.

For the year ended December 21, 2021, revenue from sale of real estate was NT$6,662,600 thousand, representing 95% of the total operating revenue and being material in the parent company only financial statements, and it is one of the major revenue sources of the parent company. Although the customers of the real estate sold are unspecified, the transaction amounted to NT$2,362,000 thousand for the sale of the E building factory in Kaohsiung Industrial Park II to an investor with significant influence. Considering that the transactions with related parties are more controllable and the reasonableness of the terms of the related party transactions and their commercial substance shall have a significant impact on the presentation of these transactions in the consolidated financial statements. Therefore, it has been deemed as one of key audit matters by us to determine whether or not the recognition of revenue from sale of real estate has met the requirements of revenue recognition. Please refer to Notes 4, 19 and 25 of the consolidated financial statements.
The main audit procedures performed on the specific levels in respect of the abovementioned key audit matter for the audit of the year are as follows:
-
We understood and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the internal controls related to the sales cycle.
-
We obtained sales contracts from related parties to understand the purpose, price and payment terms of the transactions and to evaluate whether the transactions are commercially reasonable and the basis for pricing.
-
Issuance of letters of inquiry regarding related party sales transactions.
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 the 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
55
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 members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ 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 auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
1 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.
-
2 Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
3 Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
4 Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the parent 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 auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
5 Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
56
- 6 Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our opinion to the Company.
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, 2021 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.
