Item 3 (Proposed by the Board of Directors)
Proposal: Proposal on Purchasing the Shares of Lu Zhu Development Corporation from and held by Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. and ASE TEST, INC. for deliberation.
Explanation:
-
The Company and Lu Zhu Development Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Lu Zhu Corporation") entered into a Letter of Intent for Joint Construction in March 2016, specifying that Lu Zhu Corporation provided parcels of land located in Lian Hua Section, Zhuvei, Hsinchu County, Downhill Sec., Downhill Section, Qionglin Township, and Shui Che Tou Section, Xinpu Township for joint construction with the Company.
-
Advanced Semiconductor Engineering, Inc. (hereinafter referred to as "ASE") and ASE TEST, INC. (hereinafter referred to as "ASE TEST"), major shareholders of Lu Zhu Corporation, together hold 86.05% of the shares of Lu Zhu Corporation. The Company has invested a lot of cost, material resources and manpower after the execution of the Letter of Intent with Lu Zhu Corporation. Given this, the Company proposed to purchase the shares held by both companies in order to control the Zhubei Development Project, make the decision-making time-sensitive and shorten the timeline and reduce costs.
-
The parties hereto entrusted their respective financial advisory firms and CPAs to appraise the equity value. Referring to the conclusion of the equity value of the evaluation unit, the Company negotiated a price of NT$12.67 per share as the basic consideration. The estimated transaction amount is as follows [provided, however, that, the final amount shall be adjusted according to the amount on the base date (the last day of the month preceding the month on which the delivery date occurred) when comparing the cash, securities value and borrowing amount of Lu Zhu Corporation on the financial statement as of March 31, 2023]:

-
Pursuant to the Fairness Opinion issued by the CPAs, it is believed that the transaction price per share in this case is reasonable.
-
As ASE serves as the director of the Company, the Audit Committee is about to be authorized to elect a member to act as the representative of executing theshare purchase and sale contract and related documents herein. Whenever the content of the contract should be amended due to changes in the objective environment or operating procedures in the future, the Audit Committee will be authorized to deal with the same at its sole discretion.

Attachment: Evaluation of Related-Party Transaction (please refer to Pages 16-18 of the Handbook).
Resolution

Hung Ching Development & Construction Co., Ltd.
Evaluation of Related-Party Transaction - Acquisition of stock rights
-
I. The Purpose, Necessity and Anticipated Benefit of the Acquisition:
-
Purpose: Joint construction with the land owner is one of the options for a construction company to acquire inventory. For this purpose, the Company and Lu Zhu Corporation entered into a Letter of Intent for Joint Construction on May 31, 2016, specifying that Lu Zhu Corporation provided parcels of land located in Lian Hua Section, Zhubei, Hsinchu County, Downhill Sec., Downhill Section, Qionglin Township, and Shui Che Tou Section, Xinpu Township for joint construction with the Company.Given that the joint construction is often subject to different opinions from the land owner on product positioning, selling price, building materials, and allocation proportion, etc., the planning of the construction project is thus affected. As a result, the Company intends to acquire 86.05% of the equity of Lu Zhu Corporation, in a bid to control the entire Zhubei construction project. Besides controlling the development stages according to the real estate market, the cost and selling price are highly independent. In addition, it is optimistic about the development prospects, and the Company's operations will also benefit therefrom, the land inventory is substantially increased.
-
Necessity: Pursuant to Article 3 of the Letter of Intent for Joint Construction: "The distribution ratio of joint construction in this case is subject to the agreement after Party A obtains the Construction Permit and the parties hereto value the price." The Construction Permit for Zone A of the Zhubei Joint Construction Project will be obtained in December according to TLDC’s estimates. Regardless of whether the joint construction contract is executed only once in the whole region (negotiating a distribution ratio) or in each phase of the development (subject to different distribution ratios of each phase), the estimated total investment cost of this Joint Construction Project or the input cost per phase will exceed 10% of the total assets (as of March 31, 2023). According to the "Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets" issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission R.O.C. (Taiwan), the joint construction contract must be approved by the
18
shareholders' meeting before it can be executed. For this reason, the lengthy lead-up period will inevitably result in increased construction costs. If more than 50% of the equity of Lu Zhu Corporation can be acquired, Lu Zhu Corporation will become a subsidiary of the Company. In this sense, this Joint Construction Project does not need to be resolved by the shareholders' meeting. Therefore, it is necessary to acquire the equity of Lu Zhu Corporation in order to control the Zhubei Development Project, make the decision-making time-sensitive and shorten the timeline and reduce costs.
On the other hand, the land of Lu Zhu Corporation can apply for the Construction Permit at any time. And the base is about 5 minutes’ from Chupei Station, 20 minutes’ drive from Hsinchu Science Park, and 8 minutes’ drive from Zhubei Sheraton Hotel and Far Eastern Shopping District. It is a place which has excellent environment there with the strong demand in the housing market in the Zhubei in recent years. The parcels of land that the Company can develop at any time are Phase 14 and Phase 7 in Taichung. Replenishment of land inventory is an important task for a construction company. As a result, it is necessary to acquire equity of Lu Zhu Corporation.
- Anticipated Benefit: The amount involved in this share transaction is estimated to be about NT$2.359 billion. Upon acquisition, the Company will hold 86.05% of the shares. It is expected that the Joint Construction Project with Lu Zhu Corporation will be sold at 400,000 Ping (1 Ping = 3.3058 square meter) in the future, in which case the it is able to achieve a balance between profit and loss after recognizing the investment benefits and deducting relevant interest expenses of the cost of purchasing equity. Pursuant to the data provided by Hiyes, a leading consignment sales company, it is suggested that the opening price of this Project can be set at NT$ 480,000 to NT$ 520,000 per Ping. For this reason, the Company is slightly conservative with the price of NT$450,000 ~ NT$480,000 per Ping, and the return on equity investment is about 18% to 27%.
19
II. The reason for choosing the related party as a transaction counterparty.
- After the Company executed the Letter of Intent for Joint Construction with Lu Zhu Corporation, it has invested a lot of cost, material resources, and manpower in this case.5 The major shareholders of Lu Zhu Corporation, ASE and ASE TEST, expressed their willingness to sell Lu Zhu Corporation's shares and be reengaged in packaging & testing and other electronic-related businesses. After considering such factors as the purpose, necessity, and expected benefits of this acquisition, it is believed that the acquisition of shares will be advantageous to the subsequent progress of Zhubei Development Project. For this reason, it chose to trade with related party.
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:

IV. An evaluation report from a professional appraiser or a CPA's opinion obtained in compliance with the article:
- The Company and ASE (commonly entrusted by ASE and ASE TEST) entrusted a financial advisory firm and CPAs to conduct equity value evaluation based on the net value per share of the Subject Company as of March 31, 2023 (the net value per share of Lu Zhu Corporation was NT$9.8 as of March 31, 2023), supported by the evaluation of the fair value of Lu Zhu Corporation's assets and liabilities, and contingent liabilities for calculation of equity value per share. Whereas the equity value of
20
Lu Zhu Corporation mainly was mainly derived from the land it holds, Hung Ching and ASE (including ASE TEST) each entrusts a professional valuation agency to estimate the land value in advance for the sake of calculating the equity value. The land valuation results are shown as below:

Determination of transaction price, reference basis and rationality explanation of this case:
-
① Referring to the conclusion of the equity value of the evaluation unit, the Company negotiated a price of NT$12.67 per share as the basic consideration.
- The share completion date in this case may be several months away from the execution date. Thus, the share purchase and sale contract will stipulate that the final amount shall be adjusted according to the amount on the base date (the last day of the month preceding the month on which the delivery date occurred) when comparing the cash, securities value and borrowing amount of Lu Zhu Corporation on the financial statement as of March 31, 2023.
-
② Upon consulting the Fairness Opinion issued by CAP HsiangNing Hu from Yangtze CPAs and Co. Allinial Global ACCRU ASIA, it is believed that the transaction price per share in this case is reasonable. (See Pages 19-20 of this Handbook for details).
-
-
V. Forecasted statement of cash income and expenditure in the coming year (See Page 21 of this Handbook for details) , and evaluation of the necessity of the transaction, and reasonableness of the funds utilization.
It is necessary to acquire the equity of Lu Zhu Corporation in order to control the Zhubei Development Project, make the decisionmaking time-sensitive and shorten the timeline and reduce costs. Besides, the cost of land acquisition is getting higher and higher for the time being due to the increase in raw materials, people's willingness of purchasing real estate to preserve value and the scarcity of buildable lands. For the lands of Lu Zhu Corporation, for example, compared with last year's valuation, the land value has increased substantially. Therefore, it is more beneficial for the Company to acquire equity as soon as possible.
The aggregate transaction value of this case is expected to be about NT$ 2.359 billion. The financing amount has been negotiated with a number of banks for this purpose. It is also expected that the K27 plant building in Kaohsiung will be sold in July, and the Section of Mingde Rd., Tucheng Dist. will also be sold after August. All proceeds from selling real estate can be input into this transaction. The remaining unmortgaged houses of Jade Mansion are also
22
negotiating with the bank, and will be available for sale after k13 plant is completed next year. After deducting the construction financing of NT$ 2 billion for k13 plant, it is estimated that there will be more than NT$ 3 billion cash inflows, by which the bank loans can be repaid. It is obvious that the use of funds is still reasonable.
VI. Restrictive covenants and other important stipulations associated with the transaction:
- From the execution date to the closing date, the seller undertakes and agrees that:
Untill and unless a prior written consent of the buyer is obtained, Lu Zhu Corporation shall not be urged to take the following actions:
-
① Replacement of CPAs.
-
② Except for those necessary for daily operations, borrowing any loans, incurring any debts, or providing any financial commitments or guarantees.
-
③ Change, amendment or modification of the articles of incorporation and internal rules and regulations of the Subject Company, or change of the capital structure and reduction of capital, provided, however, that the addition of endorsement/guarantee procedure that is expected to be conducted at the shareholders' meeting of Lu Zhu Corporation in 2023 shall not be subject to this.
-
④ Except for those necessary for daily operations, conclusion of any transaction or loan of more than NT$ [10 million], or and undertaking, contract or agreement with a total amount of more than NT$ [10 million].
-
⑤ Issue, or agree to issue, any securities or bonds, or redeem any securities, of nature of stock rights.
-
⑥ Except for those necessary for daily operations, any endorsement /guarantee, loan of funds to others, or any action that generates a major obligation.
-
⑦ Sell or dispose of any shares, assets or property of the Subject Company by means of M&As, division, share conversion, share exchange, etc.
-
⑧ Dissolution, liquidation or closure of the Subject Company.

Business Report
Introduction
2022 was an eventful year for the real estate market. The beginning of the year was disrupted by the housing policy that was introduced at the end of 2021 and the beginning of the local epidemic, resulting in a slowdown in buying sentiment until the strong return of buying sentiment over the spring break; Despite the prolongation of the war between Russia and Ukraine, and the turbulence in the domestic and international stock markets, the housing market experienced a steady rise in prices and volumes in the first half of the year amidst anticipated inflation, rising construction materials and labor costs, soaring land prices and the continued expansion of investment in semiconductor plants. In the second half of the year, due to the continuous increase of interest rates in the United States, the decline in global stock markets, and the central bank’s mortgage interest rate rising four times in a row, the real estate market turned from prosperity to decline. The transaction time was prolonged and the transaction volume decreased. According to the statistics released by Liudu Land Affairs Bureau, there was an overall decline in the number of buildings sold and transferred in the country, showing signs that the stock market and the real estate market were both cooling down and entering a consolidation.
Operating Performance
The consolidated operating revenue of NT$1,388,112 thousand for 2022 was mainly from the sale of the property "Jade Mansion", which accounted for 64% of the total operating revenue. Revenue from other real estate leasing, contract work and labor services accounted for 36% of operating revenue. After deducting construction and leasing costs of NT$835,237 thousand, gross operating profit was NT$552,875 thousand.
37
Other operating expenses amounted to NT$ 373,968 thousand, plus the net non-operating income and expenses of NT$ 209,865 thousand, after deducting income tax expenses of NT$102,700 thousand, the consolidated net profit was NT$ 286,072 thousand. Net income after tax attributable to the Company amounted to NT$305,126 thousand and earnings per share were NT$1.17.
2023 Operating Plan
For the 2023 operating plan, in addition to the continued sales of the residential project "Jade Mansion" on Yanping South Road, the residential building in Mingde section of Tucheng is expected to be licensed in the second quarter of 2023 and the K27 factory office building in Kaohsiung, with a floor area of 8,800 sq.m., is also expected to be licensed and sold in the second quarter of 2023. Projects under construction will continue: Kaohsiung K13 factory office building, with a floor area of about 32,900 sq.m., is expected to be licensed for use in the second quarter of 2024; ASE Chongli No. 2 factory office building, with a floor area of about 19,300 sq.m., is expected to be completed in the first quarter 2025; the Hsinchu Fubaitian project is planned to be developed in 8 districts in 3 phases, and the soil and water conservation works for the whole district were completed in the 2nd quarter of 2022. Area A is the first phase of the development and it has applied for license in 4th quarter of 2022 and pending license review. It is expected to be licensed in 4th quarter of 2023.
Future Operating Outlook
The International Monetary Fund (IMF) predicts that Taiwan's economic growth rate will drop to 2.1% in 2023, causing the economic situation to become increasingly conservative. In March 2023, the central bank raised interest rates by half a percentage point again in the wake of the continued rise in interest rates in the United States. The successive increases in interest rates by the central bank have increased the pressure on people's mortgage payments and, coupled with inflationary pressures on consumer allocations, have had a significant impact on home buying intentions; The tighter capital policy has also increased the burden of
38
construction and financing for builders, causing a significant decline in land hunting by builders. In addition, the "Equal Titles Regulations" has been revised to restrict pre-sale houses for resale and imposes heavy penalties for speculation. Apart from the pre-sale and luxury property markets, the overall housing market has also been affected by psychological factors and price discrepancies, making buyers more conservative in their bids. However, sellers' prices will not be adjusted easily due to cost, inflationary factors and the fact that interest rates are still low in general. Therefore, the number of transactions in the residential market will decrease in the short term, but prices will not yet be significantly affected and the current pattern of volume contraction is expected to be maintained this year. In the long run, under the influence of factors such as increasing land costs, rising construction costs such as raw materials, low interest rate environment, and inflationary expectations, real estate is inherently value-protected and it is a relatively low-risk compared to other financial instruments. Buying a house is a relatively safe option and therefore the outlook for the future remains cautiously optimistic.
The Company is currently focusing 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 14th Redevelopment Zone in Taichung is also under planning. Regarding the urban planning land in Puqian Section of Banqiao 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, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022 and 2021, 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.
41
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, 2022. 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.
Key audit matters for the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:
Sales Revenue of Building and Land
For the year ended December 21, 2022, revenue from sale of real estate was NT$891,467 thousand, representing 64% 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. 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 and 21 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.
-
Obtain the details of the annual sales of the premises: (1) sampling and verifying the contracts signed by the buyers and sellers to confirm the contract price and transaction target; (2) sampling and verifying the registration date of the transfer of property ownership to verify that the property ownership has been transferred to the purchaser.
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, 2022 and 2021 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
42
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.
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 of Consolidated financial statements 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 the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
43
-
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 Company's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors' report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
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 remain solely responsible for our opinion to the Group.
44
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, 2022 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

Independent Auditors’ Report
To: The Board of Directors and Shareholders Hung Ching Development & Construction Co., Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of the Hung Ching Development & Construction Co., Ltd. (the “Company”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2021, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only 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 Parent Company Only Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company 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 Company's parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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.
52
Key audit matters for the Company's parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:
Sales Revenue of Building and Land
For the year ended December 21, 2022, revenue from sale of real estate was NT$ 891,467 thousand, representing 83% 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, and 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, and 19 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) Obtain the details of the annual sales of the premises: (1) sampling and verifying the contracts signed by the buyers and sellers to confirm the contract price and transaction target; (2) sampling and verifying the registration date of the transfer of property ownership to verify that the property ownership has been transferred to the purchaser.
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 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,
53
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 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.
-
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 parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
54
- 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, 2022 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.
