II.
Operations Overview
In 2019, affected by many uncertain factors such as the US-China trade war, Brexit, and Japan-Korea trade disputes, the momentum for global trade and investment has weakened, the economic growth will continue to slow down, and major global economies begin to shift to easing monetary policies. The slowdown in world economic growth is obvious and estimates have been revised since the third quarter. Although the domestic markets suffered from the disruptions of international trade disputes, however benefiting from the diverted orders, returning business investment, the growth in demands of the domestic market, new applications of intelligent manufacturing of industry 4.0 and communication via 5G and the continued investments in semi-conductors and in green energy such as off-shore wind power, which hopefully will facilitate a steady increase in private investments.
From 2019 the budget allocated for infrastructure-related projects grew and the budget for Foresight Project has been released, however, the projects were delayed due to land acquisition procedure and changes to the projects, thus the boost provided to the construction industry is very limited. The domestic real estate market has seen its worst days and is starting afresh, and the momentum for promoting new projects in the construction industry has increased. In 2019, the total transfer volume of the housing market exceeded 300,000, and the annual growth rate reached 8.03%. The transfer volumes of the housing market for the 6 special municipalities exceed expectation, which is favorable for the management and construction conditions of residence construction projects and increase the chances of subsequent releases of work for contractors.
In 2019, the price of sand and gravel rose sharply due to the shortage of raw materials and the increase in transportation cost. After the government intervened in the negotiations and the
9
supply rebounded, it has stabilized. The price of ready-mixed concrete continued to increase due to the impact of the price growth in sand and gravel and the properties of the Taiwan Railways in southern Taiwan being turned into public spaces as well as high-tech plants heading into peak season. The domestic steel industry is suffering from the economic downturn caused in the U.S. and China, coupled with the increase in processing costs and the slow-down in the global economy, resulting in reductions in both volume and price. Furthermore, at the beginning of 2020, due to the impact of the COVID-19 outbreak, the prospects for whole sale market for raw materials are still unclear.
In 2019, obtaining certification for ISO 19650 Building Information Modelling (BIM), subsequent to the acquisition of BIM certification from BSI in 2018, the Company becomes the first in the country to obtain certification of both BSI and the verification of the international standard ISO 19650 Building Information Molding (BIM) in 108 and the BSI ISO 19650 Building Information Modelling, in line with international standards. III. Business Performance
The company acted as contractor for a total of 36 projects in 2019 with the total amount reaching NT$48 billion, of which the contracted amount for 7 new projects including the C212 bid for the construction of underground Tainan Station, the turnkey project for the renovation of the Na-Men Building and the market, and TSMC’s F18 N3 pre-construction piles and earthwork is about NT$12 billion, and the contracted amount for 13 completed projects including Kindom Ching-Pu-Hui, the bid of C1 bridge on Provincial Highway 9 and the new construction project of National Taiwan University Hospital Hsin-Chu Branch is about NT$13 billion. The consolidated operating revenue recognized in 2019 taking into account the progress of the operations of projects on hand is NT$11.462 billion, a slight increase of 0.3% from NT$114.29 billion in 2018. The consolidated net profit after tax for the current period is NT$402 million, a slight decrease of 1.47% from NT$408 million in 2018. As of the end of February 2020, there are 26 on-going projects, including 13 residential and commercial office building projects including Kindom Tai-Ching, Kindom Tai-Chi, Kindom Innovation Hall, 2 civil engineering projects including C712A bid of the civil engineering and general electrical and mechanical work project from Pu-An Station to Jinlun Station, C212 bid for the construction of underground Tainan Station and 11 indicative construction and construction of high-tech plants including the turnkey project of construction of new medical buildings for Taipei Veterans General Hospital, the first phase of the BOT project Kaohsiung Municipal Feng-Shan Hospital, the construction of a public building and the building 1 for Academia Sinica Tainan Branch, the turnkey project of Pao-Kao Smart Industrial Park, Na-Men Building and the market, the new construction project for the sport center of Taibeishineihuqunanhu Elementary School and TSMC ’s F18P3 CUP and F18 N3 pre-construction piles and earthwork. The total contracted amount is about NT$42 billion. IV. Budget Execution
Items included in the consolidated operating revenue include construction revenues and non-operating income, totaling NT$11.494 billion, a slight increase of 0.3% compared with
10
- Among them, the proportion of construction revenues is based on the progress of construction and steady investment to achieve the goal of stable revenue scale.
The total of consolidated operating expenses for 2019 is $NT10.994 billion, including construction costs, operating expenses, and non-operating expenses, which was a slight increase of 0.5% compared with 2018. Apart from the fact that the construction costs break even as the scale of the construction increases, for operating expenses, the increase in employee welfare expenses due to the increase in the number of employee, the increase due to salary adjustments and the increase in training expenses due to intensified educational training are all major reasons for the increase in operating expenses from the previous period. V. Profitability Analysis

The net cash inflow from consolidated business activities is NT$1.36 billion, and the net cash outflow from consolidated investment and financing activities is NT$426 million.

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd.,
Audit Opinion
We have audited the consolidated balance sheets of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd., and its subsidiaries ("the Kedge Group") as of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year 2019 and 2018 from January 1 to December 31, and notes to consolidated financial statements (including a summary on material accounting policies) for the years then ended.
In our opinion, the above consolidated financial report in all material aspects are in compliance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations and Interpretation Announcements endorsed and released effective by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC), and are sufficient to present the consolidated financial position of the Kedge Group as of December 31, 2019, and 2018, and its consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flows for the year 2019 and 2018 from January 1, to December 31.
Foundation of Audit Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Our responsibility under those standards will be further described in the section titled "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements". Following the code of professional ethics of accountants, the persons subject to the independence standards of our affiliated accounting firm have maintained their independence from the Kedge Group and fulfilled other responsibilities of the standards. We are convinced that we have acquired enough and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the foundation of the audit opinion.
Key Audit Matters
In our professional judgment, key audit matters refer to the most substantial matters in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the Kedge Group for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in our audit of the consolidated financial report as a whole and forming our audit opinion. We do not express a separate opinion on these matters. In our judgment, key audit matters that shall be communicated in the audit report are as follows:
I. Construction Contracts
For accounting policies regarding construction contracts, please refer to Note 4 (14) of the consolidated financial statements for revenue recognition. For accounting estimates and hypothetical uncertainties of estimated total contract costs for construction contracts, please refer to Note 5 of the consolidated financial statements. For details of revenue recognition, please refer to Note 6 (16) of the consolidated financial statements for revenue from customer contracts.
27
Description of Key Audit Matters:
The change of the total contract price of the construction contract, such as the addition and reduction of the construction and the price index subsidy, involves a high degree of judgment by management. The miscalculation of gross contract revenue may cause significant changes in profit and loss during the financial reporting period, and therefore there are significant risks. Also, the Kedge Group recognizes the revenue and cost of contracts under construction according to the percentage of completion method, while the degree of completion is calculated based on the proportion of the incurred contract cost to the estimated total contract cost as of the financial reporting date. The total cost of the construction contract involves a high degree of estimation and judgment of the management, and the miscalculations disclosed above may cause significant differences in the timing of recognition for profit and loss and the current financial statements. Corresponding Audit Procedures:
Our main audit procedures regarding the aforementioned key audit matters included the following:
-
Test the internal control and implementation effectiveness of the contract and collection; obtain the detail list of addition and reduction of the total contract price of each construction for the current period; randomly check the external documents such as the contract, agreement, owner's communication or site coordination meeting minutes, as well as the valuation information of each period the condition of the owner's acceptance.
-
Test and evaluate the effectiveness of the internal control system and implementation of procurement contracting and construction budgeting operations; randomly check external documents such as construction price lists, contracts, daily construction reports, invoices, and construction budgets, and check with construction budgets to verify the appropriateness of collection and accumulation of the construction type; randomly evaluate the preparation process of the construction budget of the management team and checks the pricing information of each period to calculate the percentage of completion of the construction; randomly check and execute the cut-off point test of the construction in progress for the period before and after the balance sheet date.
Other Matters
Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. has prepared the individual financial statements for the years ended in 2019 and 2018, for which we have already issued an audit report with an unqualified opinion for reference.

It is the management's responsibility to fairly present the consolidated financial statements in compliance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), Interpretations and Interpretation Announcements endorsed and released effective by the Financial Supervisory Commission (FSC) and to sustain essential internal controls respecting the preparation of the consolidated financial statements so as to ensure that there is no material misrepresentation in the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error.
28
In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the responsibility of management also includes the assessment of the sustainability of the Kedge Group, disclosure of relevant matters, as well as the adoption of the accounting base for continuing operations, unless the management intends to liquidate the Kedge Group or terminate the business, or there is no practicable measure other than liquidation or termination of the business.
The governing body (including Supervisors) of the Kedge Group is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibility for Auditing Consolidated Financial Statements
The purpose of our audit of the consolidated financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole contains any material untruthful expression that may lead to fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditors' report. Reasonable assurance is a high degree of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards will always detect the existence of any material misrepresentation in the consolidated financial statements. Misrepresentation may be due to fraud or error. It is considered to be material if the misrepresented individual amount or the aggregated total can be reasonably expected to affect the economic decisions made by the users of the consolidated financial statements.
When auditing in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, we practice professional judgment and maintains professional suspicion. We also perform the following tasks:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misrepresentation in the consolidated financial statements due to fraud or error. Design and implement applicable countermeasures for the assessed risks, as well as obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as to the basis of audit opinions. Because fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, untrue declaration or the override of internal control, the risk of not detecting the material misrepresentation caused by fraud is higher than that caused by the error.
-
To acquire the necessary understanding of internal control relevant to audit so as to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, but its purpose is not to express opinions on the effectiveness of internal control of the Kedge Group.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by management.
-
Based on the audit evidence obtained, conclude on the appropriateness of the accounting base for continuing operations adopted by the management and whether there is a material uncertainty in the events or circumstances that may cause material doubts about the sustainability of the Kedge Group for continuing operations. If we believe that there is a material uncertainty in such events or circumstances, we shall remind the users of the consolidated financial statements to pay attention to the relevant disclosure of the consolidated financial statements in the audit report or we shall amend the audit opinion when such disclosure is inadequate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained as of the audit report date. However, future events or circumstances may result in the Kedge Group no longer having the ability to going concerned.
29
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the consolidated financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the consolidated financial statements fairly represent the underlying transactions and events.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence concerning the financial information of entities within the Group to express opinions on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the guidance, supervision, and implementation of the Group's audit cases, and for forming the Group's audit opinions.
The matters we communicate with the governance body include the planned audit scope and time, as well as material audit findings (including a significant lack of internal control identified in the audit process).
We also provide the governance body with a declaration that the persons subject to the independence standards of our affiliated accounting firm have complied with the code of professional ethics of accountants, and communicate with the governance body all relations and other matters (including relevant protective measures) that may affect the independence of CPAs.
From the matters communicated with the governance body, we conclude the key audit matters for the audit of the Kedge Group's consolidated financial statements for 2019. We state such matters in the audit report unless the law or regulation does not allow public disclosure of specific matters. Or in rare circumstances, we determine not to communicate specific matters in the audit report due to the reasonable probability that the negative impact of such communication is greater than the public interest.

Independent Auditors' Report
To the Board of Directors of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd.:
Audit Opinion
We have audited the balance sheets of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2019, and 2018, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the year 2019 and 2018 from January 1 to December 31, as well as notes to parent company only financial statements (including a summary on material accounting policies) for years then ended.
In our opinion, the aforementioned parent company only financial statements in all material aspects are in compliance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and are sufficient to present the financial position of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2019, and 2018, and its financial performance and cash flows for the year 2019 and 2018 from January 1, to December 31.
Foundation of Audit Opinion
We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Generally Accepted Auditing Standards. Our responsibility under those standards will be further described in the section titled "Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of Parent Company Only Financial Statements." Following the code of professional ethics of accountants, the persons subject to the independence standards of our accounting firm have maintained their independence from the Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. and fulfilled other responsibilities of the standards. We are convinced that we have acquired enough and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the foundation of the audit opinion.
Key Audit Matters
In our professional judgment, key audit matters refer to the most substantial matters in the audit of parent company only financial statements of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. for the year ended December 31, 2019. These matters were addressed in our audit of parent company only financial statements as a whole and forming our audit opinion. We do not express a separate opinion on these matters. In our judgment, key audit matters that shall be communicated in the audit report are as follows:
-
I. Construction Contracts
-
Please refer to Note 4 (13) "revenue recognition" of parent company only financial statements for details of the accounting policies related to the building contracts. Please refer to Note 5 of parent company only financial statements for details of the accounting estimates and assumed uncertainties of estimated total contract cost of the building contracts. Please refer to Note 6 (15) "revenue of the client contracts" of parent company only financial statements for details of revenue recognition and the accumulated cost incurred.
35
Description of Key Audit Matters:
The change of the total contract price of the construction contracts, such as the addition and reduction of the construction and the price index subsidy, involves a high degree of judgment by management. The miscalculation of gross contract revenue may cause material changes in profit and loss during the financial reporting period, and therefore there are significant risks. Also, Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. recognizes the revenue and cost of contracts under construction according to the percentage of completion method, while the degree of completion is calculated based on the proportion of the incurred contract cost to the estimated total contract cost as of the financial reporting date. The total cost of the construction contracts involves a high degree of estimation and judgment of the management, and the miscalculations disclosed above may cause significant differences in the timing of recognition for profit and loss and the current financial statements.
Corresponding Audit Procedures:
Our main audit procedures regarding the aforementioned key audit matters included the following:
-
Test the internal control and implementation effectiveness of the contract and collection; obtain the detail list of addition and reduction of the total contract price of each construction for the current period; randomly check the external documents such as the contract, agreement, owner's communication or site coordination meeting minutes, as well as the valuation information of each period the condition of the owner's acceptance.
-
Test and evaluate the effectiveness of the internal control system and implementation of procurement contracting and construction budgeting operations; randomly check external documents such as construction price lists, contracts, daily construction reports, invoices, and construction budgets, and check with construction budgets to verify the appropriateness of collection and accumulation of the construction type; randomly evaluate the preparation process of the construction budget of the management team and checks the pricing information of each period to calculate the percentage of completion of the construction; randomly check and execute the cut-off point test of the construction in progress for the period before and after the balance sheet date.
Responsibilities of the Management and Governing Body for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
It is the management's responsibility to fairly present the parent company only financial statements in compliance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and to sustain essential internal controls respecting the preparation of the parent company only financial statements so as to ensure that there is no material misrepresentation in the parent company only financial statements due to fraud or error.

The governing body (including Supervisors) of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.
Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
The purpose of our audit is to provide reasonable assurance that the parent company only financial statements as a whole do not contain material misrepresentation arising from fraud or errors, and to issue an independent auditors' report. Reasonable assurance is a high degree of assurance but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards will always detect the existence of any material misrepresentation in the parent company only financial statements. Misrepresentation may be due to fraud or error. It is considered to be material if the misrepresented individual amount or the aggregated total can be reasonably expected to affect the economic decisions made by the users of the parent company only financial statements.
When auditing in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, we practice professional judgment and maintains professional suspicion. We also perform the following tasks:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misrepresentation in the parent company only financial statements due to fraud or error; design and implement applicable countermeasures for the assessed risks, as well as obtaining sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as to the foundation of audit opinions. Because fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, untrue declaration or the override of internal control, the risk of not detecting the material misrepresentation caused by fraud is higher than that caused by the error.
-
To acquire the necessary understanding of internal control relevant to audit so as to design appropriate audit procedures under the circumstances, but its purpose is not to express opinions on the effectiveness of internal control of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and relevant disclosures made by management.
-
Based on the audit evidence obtained, conclude on the appropriateness of the accounting base for continuing operations adopted by the management and whether there is a material uncertainty in the events or circumstances that may cause material doubts about the sustainability of going concerned for Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. If we believe that there is a material uncertainty in such events or circumstances, we shall remind the users of the parent company only financial statements to pay attention to the relevant disclosure of the parent company only financial statements in our auditor's report or we shall amend the audit opinion when such disclosure is inadequate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained as of the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or circumstances may result in Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. no longer having the ability to going concerned.
37
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure, and content of the parent company only financial statements (including relevant notes), and whether the parent company only financial statements fairly represent the underlying transactions and events.
- Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for the financial information of the invested company adopting the equity method to express opinions on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the guidance, supervision, and implementation of the audit cases, and for forming the audit opinions for Kedge Construction Co., Ltd.
The matters we communicate with the governance body include the planned audit scope and time, as well as material audit findings (including a significant lack of internal control identified in the audit process).
We also provide the governance body with a declaration that the persons subject to the independence standards of our accounting firm have complied with the code of professional ethics of accountants, and communicate with the governance body all relations and other matters (including relevant protective measures) that may be considered to affect our independence.
From the matters communicated with the governance body, we conclude the key audit matters of the audit for the parent company only financial statements in 2019 of Kedge Construction Co., Ltd. We state such matters in the audit report unless the law or regulation does not allow public disclosure of specific matters. Or in rare circumstances, we determine not to communicate specific matters in the audit report due to the reasonable probability that the negative impact of such communication is greater than the public interest.
