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.

Business Report
Introduction
The real estate market in 2023 experienced a slow start followed by a rebound. In the first half of the year, consecutive interest rate hikes by the central bank, mortgage rates exceeding 2%, the fifth wave of selective credit controls, and the government's implementation of the average land rights law affected the willingness of people to buy homes. During this period, the overall transaction volume across Taiwan hit a nearly 5-year low, decreasing by 18.7% compared to the same period last year, resulting in a sluggish real estate market. However, in the latter half of the year, as the overall economic situation stabilized and incentivized by the preferential mortgage program geared toward young adults, buyers with rigid demand for self-occupation, first-time purchase, and long-term investment gradually entered the market. Consequently, the real estate market began to warm up, with prices rising instead of falling. Transaction volumes in the six major cities increased by 20.9% compared to the first half of the year and by 15.4% compared to the same period last year, indicating a significant increase in transaction volume. Overall, the total number of housing transactions in 2023 was 306,000 units, a decrease of 3.5% compared to the previous year, marking a new low in nearly 4 years. With the gradual disappearance of policy uncertainties and the gradual improvement of the economy, various signs indicate that the real estate market is gradually stabilizing.
Operating Performance
For the fiscal year 2023, the consolidated operating income amounted to NT$2,315,375 thousand. This was primarily attributed to the sales revenue from properties such as the Kaohsiung K27 factory office building and the Di Jing Yuan project, constituting 84% of the total operating income. Other sources of income, including real estate leasing, construction contracts, and service income, accounted for the remaining 16% of operating income.
15
After deducting construction and leasing costs totaling NT$1,640,147 thousand, the gross operating profit was NT$675,228 thousand. Operating expenses amounted to NT$316,734 thousand. Additionally, after considering the net amount of non-operating income and expenses, which totaled NT$302,980 thousand, and deducting the income tax expense of NT$97,605 thousand, the consolidated net income amounted to NT$563,869 thousand. The net income attributable to the Company's individual entity was NT$580,013 thousand, with an earnings per share of NT$2.22.
2024 Operating Plan
In the 2024, in addition to continuing the sale of residential projects such as Emperor Court on Pingnan Road and Hongjing Qingyun in Tucheng, the ongoing projects will proceed as follows: the construction of the Kaohsiung K13 Factory Office Building, with a floor area of approximately 32,900 ping, is expected to receive a usage permit in the second quarter of 2024; the Zhongli Factory Office Building, with a floor area of approximately 19,300 ping, is expected to be completed and obtain a usage permit in the second quarter of 2025; the Zhubei project is planned to be divided into 8 zones and developed in three phases. The soil and water conservation project for the entire area was completed in the second quarter of 2022, and the first phase of development (Zone A, residential and reception house) is expected to receive a construction permit in the fourth quarter of 2024.
Future Operating Outlook:
The development of the real estate market is influenced by factors such as the financial environment, government policies, and market supply and demand. Looking ahead to the real estate market in the current year (2024), with policy uncertainties largely resolved, the market is returning to the fundamentals of supply and demand. Under the government's preferential loan policies aimed at encouraging young people to settle down, the rigid demand for home purchases remains relatively stable. Buyers are primarily interested in properties with "lower total prices" and "smaller sizes." On the
16
other hand, property prices are closely linked to construction costs, and factors such as rising land acquisition costs, increasing labor wages, and raw material costs contribute to the rising construction expenses. Additionally, the impending implementation of carbon taxes next year may further increase the costs of materials like steel and cement. These increased costs are expected to be reflected in higher selling prices for pre-sale and newly completed homes. Furthermore, with domestic interest rates still at a low level and the global economy recovering, along with the possibility of interest rate cuts in the United States, it is anticipated that the domestic housing market will exhibit a pattern of "stable prices with steady transaction volume" or "steady transaction volume with moderate price increases" this year. Real estate itself has the characteristic of maintaining value, making it a relatively low-risk investment compared to other financial products. Purchasing real estate is seen as a relatively prudent choice. In the long run, the outlook for the real estate market can be viewed with cautious optimism.
The Company is currently prioritizing the development of office buildings and residential projects to meet the demands of affiliates. Planning for the purchased land in Phase 14 of Taichung is currently underway. The Company has also acquired land in the Puzianduan area of Banqiao, New Taipei City, which is currently undergoing urban redevelopment. Once approved by the Ministry of the Interior, the Company will promptly proceed with the construction of the land. Furthermore, the Company is actively searching for suitable land inventory to meet future business development needs.
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 the Shareholders of 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, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023 and 2022, 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 Parent Company Only 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.
19
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, 2023. 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, 2023 are stated as follows:
- Sales Revenue of Building and Land Related Party Transaction
In 2023, the Hung Ching Group generated NT$1,946,184 thousand in sales revenue from real estate. The sale of the K27 factory office building to a significant investor accounted for NT$1,666,600 thousand, representing 86% of the total sales revenue from real estate for the year. This transaction is considered significant for the consolidated financial statements as it is one of the main sources of income for the Hung Ching Group. The auditor has identified the related party transactions in sales revenue from real estate as a key audit matter due to the higher controllability of transactions with related parties and the significant impact of the reasonableness of the conditions and the commercial substance of such transactions on the expression of the consolidated financial statements.Please refer to Notes 4, 22 and 29 to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
The main audit procedures performed on the specific levels in respect of the above-mentioned 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 of the transactions, the prices and terms of payment, and to evaluate whether the transactions were commercially reasonable and the basis for pricing.
-
We issued a letter 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, 2023 and 2022 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
20
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.
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 high, but an audit performed in accordance with auditing standards does not provide assurance that the consolidated financial statements will be audited in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China.
Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
- Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is
21
higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the consolidated 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 Company 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 about all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these
22
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 the Shareholders of 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, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023 and 2022, 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, 2023. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent
30
company only 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 Company's parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2023 are stated as follows:
- Sales Revenue of Building and Land Related Party Transaction
In 2023, the Company's revenue from the sale of real estate amounted to NT$1,946,184 thousand, of which the sale of the K27 plant office building to an investor with significant influence amounted to NT$1,666,600 thousand, which accounted for 86% of the revenue from the sale of real estate for the current year, and was material to the financial statements, and was one of the major sources of income of the Company. Considering that the transactions with related parties are highly controllable and the reasonableness of the terms of the transactions and the business substance of the transactions will have a significant effect on the presentation of these transactions in the consolidated financial statements, we have identified the related party transactions of the revenue from the sale of real estate as one of the critical items to be audited. See Notes 4, 19 and 25 to the parent company only financial statements.
The main audit procedures performed on the specific levels in respect of the above-mentioned 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 of the transactions, the prices and terms of payment, and to evaluate whether the transactions were commercially reasonable and the basis for pricing.
-
We issued a letter 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 concern basis of accounting unless
31
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.

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. They are considered to be material if they individually or collectively could reasonably be expected to affect the economic decisions of users 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:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company's internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management's use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the 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
32
auditors' report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient 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 about 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, 2023 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.
