壹、Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders, Greetings.

The outbreak of the COVID-19 epidemic in 2020 caused economic stagnation
and negative growth in most of the countries across the world. Taiwan has been
one of the few relatively safe countries with positive economic growth. As hot
money continues to pour into Taiwan, the NTD has continuously appreciated.
Transactions in Taiwan's housing market increased and the number of houses sold
reached record highs as the economy prospered. The global economy is expected
to recover in 2021 with the launch of COVID-19 vaccines. Experts predict that
Taiwan's economic growth will remain positive and the current loose monetary
policies and low interest rate will continue to create positive growth for the
real estate market. The government's policies against real estate speculation
and the rise in the cost of construction labor and materials are the two major
factors that affect the real estate market and their impact must be closely
monitored and quickly addressed.
Taiwan's exports increased as a result of the global demand for 5G, AI, and
high-performance computing products. The Directorate-General of Budget,
Accounting and Statistics and IMF estimated that Taiwan's economic growth rate
may reach 3.83% and 3.2% in 2021. As Taiwanese businesses return to Taiwan to
set up factories, and as purchase orders in Taiwan's tech industries continue
to grow, the demand for office buildings and plants in Taiwan has increased.
The sales of industrial plants increased in 2020 and total annual transactions
reached a record high of NT$54.7 billion. Kuo Yang also successfully expanded
the construction of plants and offices. "Kuo Yang Silicon Valley" is scheduled
be completed and delivered in the second quarter of this year and has received
wide acclaim on the market as an office building project. Therefore, the Company
continued investments in plants and offices in the fourth quarter of 2020 and
invested in land in Neihu Jiuzong Section and Tucheng Zhongyi Section. We work
with professional teams to create unique plants and office buildings that meet
market demands and create higher profits for the Company.
As Kuo Yang expands into new markets, we continue to develop the residential
building market. We continue to invest in urban renewal projects in recent years
and successfully completed the construction and delivery of the large-scale

~ 1 ~

urban renewal project "South Manor" in the fourth quarter of 2020. Kuo Yang works
with Continental Engineering Co., Ltd. and the P&T Group design team to create
one of the most iconic buildings in Taipei City. We believe that good buildings
can help a city grow and prosper, and create brand-new lifestyles. We will
continue to initiate projects in 2021 and attain our next milestones.
For nearly 50 years since the establishment of the Company, Kuo Yang real
estate development group has always maintained a broad perspective and remained
committed to improving the competitiveness of cities in Taiwan. Kuo Yang actively
makes use of corporate resources and uses our vantage point to enhance the city
and create a new era. Among Taiwan's numerous companies, Kuo Yang is the first
and the only company that is capable of full integration of department stores,
hotels, catering, and real estate development to create diverse and in-depth
strategies. We have successfully become a mainstream Taiwanese conglomerate and
play a key leadership role.
Kuo Yang actively develops residential and plant and office projects that
meet the inelastic demand of the market. We also participate in the development
of new urban renewal projects and reconstruction of dangerous and old buildings
to create new opportunities for profits for the Company, fulfill corporate social
responsibility, improve the urban landscape, and protect public safety. The
Company also integrates resources of the Group to actively support the
government's development of important public construction projects. We
participate in the development projects of nearby areas or take part in tenders
to expand the Company's sources of profits, increase revenue, and increase the
remuneration of shareholders.
The Company's 2020 Business Report and 2021 Business Plan are summarized

We also supported the government's policy improving old and dangerous buildings and actively developed sites that meet the reconstruction criteria for old and dangerous buildings. The Company focused on tendering/investment solicitation for core areas in key development zones, and the development of urban renewal or land projects in areas near public transportation hubs. We also appointed a team of professional consultants to conduct assessments and analyses in accordance with the latest laws and policies to respond to supply and demand in the market and empower business growth.

3. In terms of engineering quality, we enhanced cooperation with large-scale construction groups and introduced the building information management system to improve engineering quality and the construction management system.

II. 2021 Business Plan overview

  • (I) Projects in the sales phase

1. Existing houses: Kuo Yan, The Green Place A, The Green Place B, Smile Era, Zhongxiao Courtyard.

2. Under construction: The Green Place C, South Manor, Good morning, Kuo Yang, Kuo Yang Silicon Valley.

III. Future development strategy

  • (I) The Company shall carefully monitor the development of cross-strait relations and grasp business opportunities at appropriate times to expand the Company on the international stage with the aim of becoming the best brand in the real estate and related industries.

  • (II) The Company's affiliates focus on developing strategies for diversifying assets and operations. In addition to continuous development of real estate businesses such as residential buildings, they also leveraged their successful experience in Hanshin Department Store, Grand Hi-Lai Hotel, and Hi-Lai Foods to evaluate investments in leisure hotels, tourism industry, shopping centers, and catering businesses. The affiliates seek to become "comprehensive developers" and closely monitor the substantial business opportunities in the real estate market in Taiwan and China.

IV. Impact of the external competitive environment, regulatory environment, and overall business environment

  • (一)Favorable factors:

  • 1.Maintenance of loose monetary policies as a result of the international economic and financial conditions

    • Due to the resurgence of the COVID-19 epidemic, countries have reactivated disease prevention control measures which weakened the global economic recovery. Major economies have continued expansionary fiscal policies and maintained loose monetary

~ 4 ~

policies.
  • 2.Record high sales of new construction projects in Northern Taiwan in seven years

  • According to the latest statistics of market research institutions, there were 74,044 units available for sales in presale and newly constructed projects in Northern Taiwan in 2020, and 43,213 units have been delivered with an average sales rate of 58.4%. It was the fourth consecutive year of growth and a record high in the past seven years. The statistics mean that the housing market has surpassed the 50% threshold on the bull–bear line and is heading toward a bullish market after a series of corrections.

Shih-Chang Ho, the Chief R&D Officer of My Housing Magazine, stated
that the housing market benefited from low interest rates and the
loose monetary environment which led to growth with an influx of
capital. Demand on the new construction project market increased
and the annual average sales rate of new projects in Norther Taiwan
increased to 58.4% as the market turned bullish in 2020. Hsinchu
had the strongest market demand in the new property market last year
with a sales rate of 70.6%.
  • (二)Unfavorable factors:

  • 1.Government imposes 45% taxes on real estate transactions within two years of purchase to combat real estate speculation

The government has implemented a series of policies designed to
combat real estate speculation. According to reports, the Ministry
of Finance will propose an amendment for the integration of house
and land tax 2.0 and expand the current 45% heavy tax on properties
held for one year to two years. The amendment is intended to expand
the definition of short-term ownership from one year to two years
to curb real estate speculation. In addition, to prevent investment
companies from real estate speculation, domestic profit-seeking
enterprises and individuals will have the same tax rate which will
prevent individuals from using the tax rate gap to set up
profit-seeking enterprises for real estate transactions within a
short period of time to evade taxes. The Ministry of Finance also

~ 5 ~

amended the regulations on the deductibles for the land value
increment tax. The main purpose is to prevent people from
voluntarily reporting a current value for land transfer higher than
the announced current value of the land as people may wish to use
the integrated tax rate for the land value increment tax and house
and land tax to evade taxes. The amendment imposes a limit on the
deductibles calculated by the announced current value of the land
minus the total increase in land value. Parts that exceed the limit
may not be deducted and the system will be launched on July 1, 2021
[Expand the applicable scope of real estate transactions to prevent
tax evasion]
Simultaneously, will also expand the applicable scope of real estate
transactions to prevent people from intentionally using different
methods for real estate speculation and tax evasion. The general
aim of the amendment is to include investors of presale houses and
their sites or of transactions of more than 50% of the shares held
or capital contribution in profit-seeking enterprises consisting
of domestic real estate, but exclude transactions of stocks in TWSE,
TPEx, and emerging stocks as real estate transactions and include
them in the scope of the house and land tax.

2.Actual price registration 2.0 to be launched in July

  • The Central Bank did not change interest rates in the meeting of the Board of Directors in December 2020 and the domestic economy is expected to achieve moderate growth. However, the Central Bank has decided to adopt targeted review measures on real estate loans to limit overheated real estate market investments and prevent excessive redirection of credit resources of banks to real estate. After the amendment and announcement of the actual price registration 2.0, the Deputy Minister of the Ministry of the Interior Ching-Chun Hua stated on the 25th that related subsidiary legislation, tables, and systems will be completed and launched before July 1. He also stated that the Ministry may yet initiate

~ 6 ~

related audits in the next few months to create order in market
transactions before the management mechanisms of presale house
orders and actual price registration are launched, so that the
market can stabilize. High housing prices have attracted the
attention of the public in recent years. The Executive Yuan sought
to stabilize the housing market and began implementing a series of
plans to improve the housing and real estate market. The main
measures include enhanced crackdown on transactions of presale
house orders, actual price registration 2.0 amendment, prevention
of tax evasion, preferential loans, and additional public housing,
which are aimed to improve the housing market and ensure reasonable
housing prices.
The Company has proposed several response measures for the recent
fluctuations in the supply of raw materials across the world, real estate
transaction prices, and amendments of real estate tax systems and policies
to minimize the impact on development.
In response to changes in the industry caused by movements in the society,
the Company has adopted a strategy of not competing on prices but to
continue to consider how to increase the value of buildings to exceed
consumer expectations and improve the overall value chain from "quantity
satisfaction" to "quality satisfaction".
For instance, the quality of the project completed in 2020 (South Manor)
was widely recognized and we have achieved substantial improvements. The
value of the project increased immediately after its delivery and it has
become a landmark building in Wenshan District. In terms of the financial
structure, the Company's overall financial structure has improved and we
aim to achieve debt-free operations. The Company has made significant
improvements in all major sectors with the hard work in recent years and
we have developed strong competitive advantages vis-a-vis competitors.
The overall economy is set to attain moderate growth in the next 1 to 2
years and the impact on real estate remains positive and favorable to the
Company.
I wish to thank you for your support and guidance.
I wish you health and prosperity
Tzu-Kuan Lin, Chairman

Board of Directors:

The results showed that the Board of Directors has fulfilled its duties for providing
instructions and monitoring the Company's strategies, major business operations,
and risk management. The overall implementation status was satisfying and met
corporate governance requirements. However, there remains room for improvement in
terms of the participation in the operation of the company and election of Directors.

Individual Directors:

The results showed that the communication between Directors and managers of the
Company was satisfying. However, the Directors believed that they must continue
to acquire new knowledge and continue to study to improve their professional
knowledge, understand the Company's industry, make professional and suitable
judgments, and plan for future development.

Functional committees:

The results showed that the functional committees have effectively played their
roles and ensured the effective implementation of internal controls and adequate
risk management for sustainability. The Company has therefore not yet established
a Nominating Committee.

Recommendations for improvement:

The Company should actively arrange continuing education for Directors to ensure
that they can improve their professional knowledge and skills and their legal
knowledge to effectively implement the corporate governance system.

伍、Business Overview

I. Business activities

  • (I) Business scope:

  • 1 Main contents

  • (1) Commissioned construction of residential buildings, commercial buildings, and plants and offices for lease or sale, appointment by the government's competent authority of industries for the development, lease, and sales of industrial zones. (except for the construction business)

  • (2) Trading, manufacturing, and agency services for of construction materials.

  • (3) Garden landscaping and interior design and construction. (except for the construction business) (except for architect business)

  • (4) Industrial factory buildings lease construction and development.

  • (5) Office building leasing.

2. Revenue breakdown: The Company invests in the construction of residential buildings and the lease and sales of office and commercial buildings, and industrial buildings in Taiwan. The revenue from these businesses account for 100% of the Company's revenue.

3. The Company's current products: Residences, villas, stores, and plants and offices.

4. Plans for new product development: The Company will continue to focus on luxury residential buildings in prime locations and cooperate with government policies in promoting residential projects for urban renewal.

  • (II) Industry overview:

  • Current state and development of the industry:

  • (1) Overall political and economic environment: The increase of prices of raw materials and the government's adjusted policies has made buyers in the real estate market more conservative.

    • In terms of the recent international political and economic

    • developments, despite the reactivation of rigorous control measures in major countries in response to the deterioration of pandemic across the globe, they have had limited impact on the manufacturing industry and the PMI of the manufacturing in the industry in Europe and Americas has continued to increase. The epidemic has increased business opportunities for remote communication in Taiwan. The start of the 5G era also increased the demand for semiconductors and created shortages in production capacity. As a result, the electronics and machinery manufacturers have remained optimistic regarding economic development

~ 103 ~

in the current month and the next six months. Traditional industries
benefited from the increase in international oil and raw material prices
and demand for their products gradually recovered. As a result, the
traditional industries have become more optimistic regarding the
economic outlook compared to the previous survey. For the service sector,
the upcoming peak season for year-end dinner parties and outstanding
performance of the Taiwanese stock market have made the securities
industry and catering and accommodations industry more optimistic
regarding the economic conditions in the current month. In terms of the
construction industry, the rising cost of reinforced concrete in recent
periods, continuous shortage in the supply of concrete materials, and
relatively intensive transactions in the housing market have elevated
the baseline. The government's policy for flexible adjustments has
increased conservatism in real estate investments. It is evident that
the housing market will continue to adjust in the next six months and
construction companies have mostly adopted a cautious approach
regarding economic development in the next six months. The results of
surveys conducted by the Taiwan Institute of Economic Research (TIER)
and calculations based on the model have shown continuous growth in the
manufacturing composite indicator in December and a slight decline in
the service sector composite indicator while the construction sector
composite indicator fell for the second consecutive month. With regard
to the macroeconomic environment in 2021, TIER predicted that the
economic growth rate for Taiwan in 2021 would stand at 4.30%, up 0.29%
compared to the forecast in November 2020.
(2) Number of units transferred in sales: The number of units transferred
in sales in 2020 reached a 7-year record high while development in 2021
remains unclear
Data of the Construction and Planning Agency, Ministry of the
Interior showed that the number of units transferred in sales in 2020
has gradually increased from 245 thousand units in 2016 and 266 thousand
units in 2017 to 278 thousand units in 2018. The annual growth rate was
4.5%. 300,275 units were transferred in 2019 and 326 thousand units were
transferred in 2020. Despite the epidemic in the first half of the year,

~ 104 ~

the adequate control over the epidemic and low interest rates have led
to a swift recovery in the housing market. The epidemic did not reverse
the recovery of the housing market but substantially increased the
demand for industrial and commercial real estate. We will continue to
monitor the residential housing market, the number of units transferred
in sales, and amendments of laws on taxation and actual price
registration in 2021. We expect the market to become more conservative.
According to statistics compiled by the My Housing Magazine, the
value of new projects in Taiwan in 2020 was NT$1.66 trillion and the
annual growth rate was 8%. The average sales rate of presale houses in
Taipei City also returned to levels above 60% as the overall housing
market recovered from the decline. After waiting for 3 to 4 years, the
total land transactions of major construction companies attained
NT$304.9 billion land transactions in 2020 as the overall real estate
market recovered.

  • (3) Cathay Real Estate Indicator: Overall housing market prices and volumes remained stable with strong market demand in 2020

  • Both the value and volume in the Cathay Real Estate Indicator in

  • 2020 Q4 increased from the previous quarter. Compared to the same quarter in the previous year, the value has risen while the volume remained stable. In terms of the international economic and financial conditions, due to the resurgence of the COVID-19 epidemic, countries have reactivated disease prevention control measures which weakened the global economic recovery. Major economies have continued expansionary fiscal policies and maintained loose monetary policies. In terms of the domestic international economic and financial conditions, the Central

~ 105 ~

Bank did not change interest rates in the meeting of the Board of
Directors in December and the domestic economy is expected to achieve
moderate growth. However, the Central Bank has decided to adopt targeted
review measures on real estate loans to limit overheated real estate
market investments and prevent excessive redirection of credit
resources of banks to real estate. We expect these measures to have
positive effects on the healthy development of the housing market. The
Legislative Yuan also passed the actual price registration 2.0 on
December 30 which require full disclosure of the address in future
actual price registration, prohibits the transfer of presale house
orders, and reporting of presale house contracts on a case-by-case basis
within 30 days. This series of new measures for improving the housing
market will change the sales in the future domestic real estate market.
In terms of the performance of individual regions compared to the
same quarter in the previous year, the transaction prices remained
stable in New Taipei City, Taichung, and Kaohsiung in this quarter but
rose in other areas. The transaction volume decreased in Hsinchu County
and Hsinchu City in this quarter, remained stable in Taipei City, New
Taipei City, Taoyuan, and Tainan, and increased in Taichung and
Kaohsiung. The shifts in the four quarters showed that in terms of the
transactions prices in this wave compared to the peak in the previous
wave, the transaction prices in New Taipei City approached the high
points in this period while other regions exceeded the previous wave.
However, the transaction volume was polarized and remained relatively
low in areas north of Taoyuan and Hsinchu, but the transaction volume
in Central and Southern Taiwan already exceeded the peak in the previous
wave.
The transaction prices in the housing market this quarter increased
compared to the same quarter in the previous year and the transaction
volume remained stable. The prices and volume in Hsinchu County and
Hsinchu City were irregular and must be closely monitored, but the
demand has increased in other regions. In terms of the development in
the past year, the prices of new projects on the market increased while
the transaction volume remained stable. The market demand increased and
irregular presale house orders have disappeared from the market after
the government implemented control measures. After the government
creates an indicator for determining economic conditions in the housing
market, it will help provide more data and precision for the healthy
development of the housing market.

(A) Project scale and categories

[Nationwide prices and volumes remained stable with increased market
demand in 2020]
The prices of new projects on the market increased while the
transaction volume remained stable. The epidemic affected all regions
in the first quarter and fewer projects were launched on the market
compared to 2019. As countries adopted loose monetary policies and
expansionary fiscal policies, housing prices have risen in many
countries including Taiwan as a result of an abundant source of capital
across the globe. The market was stimulated by low interest rates,
monetary easing, and the increase of investments by returning
Taiwanese businesses. The market demand for investment and property
purchases gradually increased, and both the number of projects and
prices rose in the second and third quarters. Both prices and volume
increased in the housing market in the second half of the year.
Irregular presale house orders appeared in the presale market but
disappeared from the market after the government implemented control
measures. Prices and projects in all regions stabilized in the fourth
quarter as market sentiments became more conservative.

[Industry outlook for 2021]

The loose monetary policies and low interest rates across the globe will
persist in 2021 and the post-pandemic changes will continue to impact
economic growth in all countries. The Central Bank adopted selective
credit controls at the end of 2020 and the Ministry of the Interior's
amendment of actual price registration regulations and ban on the use
of presale house orders were also passed in three readings of the
Legislative Yuan at the end of the year'. Other ministries' actions for
improving the housing market have not yet been implemented and most
companies are expected exhibit conservatism in the first half of 2021
as the housing market enters a period of correction. After the
government creates an indicator for determining economic conditions in
the housing market, it will help provide more data and precision for
the healthy development of the housing market.

  • (C) Urban renewal policy

[More than one thousand dangerous and old building reconstructionprojects in 2020 future amendment to the Urban Renewal Act promotes reconstruction of dangerous and old high-rise buildings]

~ 111 ~

The Construction and Planning Agency, Ministry of the Interior stated
that with the support of the central and local governments, both the
number of applications and approvals for urban renewal and
reconstruction of dangerous and old buildings reached record highs in
2020. In addition, the Construction and Planning Agency also reviewed
the expiry and implementation of the Statute for Expediting
Reconstruction of Urban Unsafe and Old Buildings based on actual
operations and completed the amendment and promulgation of the Statute
in May 2020. The Construction and Planning Agency emphasized that urban
renewal and the reconstruction of dangerous and old buildings are major
policies of the government, which will continue to implement related
policies and subsidies, and supervise the expansion of the National
Housing and Urban Regeneration Center to expand urban renewal. The
Ministry of the Interior also reviewed the provisions on high-rise
buildings in the Urban Renewal Act and submitted the amendment to the
Legislative Yuan for review on December 28, 2020.

[Threefold increase in the number of projects this year amendment of incentives in regulations upon expiry]

After the Ministry of the Interior promulgated the "Statute for
Expediting Reconstruction of Urban Unsafe and Old Buildings" on May 10,
2017, the cumulative number of applications rose to 136 cases in 2018
and 569 cases in 2019. In response to the expiry of the progress
incentives and challenges in land usage planning, the Ministry
completed the amendments of Articles 3, 6, and 8 on May 6, 2020 to relax
restrictions on the total area consolidated neighboring land plots. The
progress incentives were adjusted to decrease each year and new
incentives for large-scale projects were added to expand the incentives
for reconstruction projects. With the active cooperation and policy
support of the central and local governments, the cumulative number of
applications as of the end of 2020 reached 1,646 cases and the number
of applications for the reconstruction of dangerous and old buildings
increased by threefold.
[Active amendment of the urban renewal operation manual to help promote
public and private urban renewal projects]
The Ministry of the Interior promulgated the amendment of the "Urban
Renewal Act" on January 30, 2019. In addition to completing the
amendments of subsidiary legislation in July of the same year, the

~ 112 ~

Ministry also updated related operation manuals in 2020 (URL:
https://twur.cpami.gov.tw/zh/download/9) as reference for
implementation by all sectors. The Ministry also continued to provide
subsidies for private urban renewal, reconstruction, refurbishment,
and maintenance projects. The cumulative number of approved urban
renewal projects totaled 86 in 2020. Compared to the average number of
44 cases in past years, the number of urban renewal projects has doubled.
To strengthen the capacity of government-led urban renewal projects,
the Ministry has continued to support and assist authorities in
organizing government-led urban renewal projects. As of the end of 2020,
it has provided assistance in advance planning for 28 sites and
investment operations for 46 sites.
[Review the Urban Renewal Act to increase urban renewal for high-rise
buildings, continue to provide subsidies, and support reconstruction]
Heavy casualties and property losses caused by past earthquakes mostly
occurred as a result of insufficient anti-earthquake measures of
high-rise residential complexes. To prevent the recurrence of such
incidents and increase the disaster relief capabilities of cities, the
Ministry of the Interior amended regulations again in September 2020
and revised Articles 57, 61, and 65 of the Urban Renewal Act to
strengthen procedures for dangerous buildings and increase building
bulk incentives to accelerate the reconstruction of high-rise buildings
before building bulk controls, and provide citizens with safe
residential buildings.
[Urban renewal in Taipei City continues to expand as 2 major policies
clarified regulations and mechanisms to maintain stable urban renewal
growth and increased efficiency]
  • a. Accelerate the implementation of the 168 project and assistance for sea-sand buildings to streamline urban renewal procedures The 168 project was first implemented in 2015. As long as the applicant has obtained "100% approval of all owners" and "no dispute" for an urban renewal project when filing it for approval, the Urban Regeneration Office will help review and pass the renewal application within 6 months of the submission of the plan. The enterprise and rights plan will be reviewed and passed by the Urban regeneration Office within 8 months after approval. These measures

~ 113 ~

are implemented to ensure a smoother review process and accelerate
urban renewal reviews. The Urban Regeneration Office launched the
168 project improvement procedures last year (2019) and
established the "Taipei City Urban Renewal 168 Project
Implementation Guidelines". It also requested the executives and
committee members to complete document reviews during the public
exhibition period and requested the committee members to convene
at least 1 project team meeting without hearing procedures. These
measures help reduce the number of issues and significantly reduced
the review procedures. In addition, the Office also approved the
implementation of the streamlined procedures for sea-sand houses
and public urban renewal projects once they have obtained more than
90% approval to accelerate review efficiency. 175 applications
were filed for the 168 project this year and the average review
period has been reduced to 130 days, which is a significant
reduction of the review period.
  • b. Innovative reforms and clarified legal mechanisms The Urban Regeneration Office revised the "Taipei City Urban Renewal and Dispute Resolution Review Committee Organization Guidelines" in accordance with related amendments in the "Urban Renewal Act" and added 2 review committee members and executives. It also implemented continuous review and amendment of the "Taipei City Urban Renewal Building Bulk Incentives Regulations", "Taipei City Urban Renewal and Dispute Resolution Review Committee Principles for Reviewing Important Proposals in Previous Meetings", and the "Summary Table of Related Fees for Urban Renewal Enterprise and Rights Conversion Plans". The amendments protect the rights and interests of owners through public and transparent mechanisms and clarified legal mechanisms to ensure the stability of urban renewal projects.
[New Taipei City Three-Step Urban Renewal Action Strategy]
  • a. Step 1 (Strategy 1): Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)

  • (a)New Taipei City used MRT stations that are already in operation as hubs and reviewed the surrounding land to create diversified development and revitalize urban functions. It prioritized development for MRT interchange stations and high-capacity stations, and provided public welfare facilities for elderly activities,

~ 114 ~

elderly care, public childcare, and public housing in buildings
within a certain distance of MRT entrances under certain conditions.
Applicants may apply for up to 50% additional building bulk for
providing public transportation parking spaces, accessible
sidewalks, open spaces, and other environmental improvement
facilities. The government considered the overall capacity of the
city and set the maximum building bulk at two times the base building
bulk.
  • (b)In the first phase, the "Proposal for the Guidelines on Land Use and Zoning Management in Areas Near New Taipei City MRT Stations (Phase 1) (Compliant with the Transit-Oriented Development Strategy)" was promulgated and implemented on August 29, 2019. Related measures in the "New Taipei City Government Guidelines for the Review of Applications for Additional Building Bulk for Transit-Oriented Development" also became effective on August 29, 2019. In the second phase, the "Proposal for the Guidelines on Land Use and Zoning Management in Areas Near New Taipei City MRT and Railway Stations (Phase 2) (Compliant with the Transit-Oriented Development Strategy)" was reviewed and completed in the 112th meeting of the New Taipei City Urban Planning Committee on December 9, 2019, and promulgated and implemented on January 31, 2020.

  • b. Step 2 (Strategy 2): Urban renewal along main roads to change the urban landscape

  • According to Article 39-2 of the "New Taipei City Enforcement Rules of Urban Planning Law" amended and implemented on July 3, 2019, dangerous and old buildings along main roads with a width of 20m in the City, sea-sand houses, and buildings within urban renewal areas that have a land area of at least 2,000㎡ or cover an entire block, and the site of the building is open to at least 20m of roads on the front are eligible for a maximum of 20% of additional building bulk if they provide facilities for activities for the elderly, public elderly care facilities, public housing (including transitional housing), or other facilities for public welfare. Applications may be filed before July 3, 2021 and the measures are expected to help improve the urban landscape and space for the activities of the people. Related measures in the "New Taipei City Government Guidelines for Processing Applications Filed in accordance with Article 39-2 of the New Taipei City Enforcement Rules of Urban Planning Law" was promulgated and implemented on August 22, 2019.

~ 115 ~

  • c. Step 3 (Strategy 3): Prioritize assistance for dangerous and old buildings for disaster prevention and take actions to resolve issues

  • The government has taken the initiative to help keep residents out of dangerous areas through hazard classification, streamlining procedures, active counseling, resolving issues from residents' perspectives, and proposing solutions. The government actively provides project counseling and progress management for issues and matters that require assistance in individual projects including holding community seminars, setting up forward onsite workstations, and organizing weekly inter-agency project meetings.

  • [Continue to build happy homes for the people of Taiwan in the new year] In response to the high average age of houses in Taiwan and the threat of strong earthquakes, the Company will actively obtain more information on the government's policy for promoting urban renewal and continue to track the updates of laws and regulations, so that we can continue to expand urban renewal operations of the Company and create a safe and comfortable living environment for the people of Taiwan.

3. Competition

The Company conducts a detailed market survey and evaluations when it evaluates new construction projects to understand market demand which is used as an importance reference for the purchase of land and future construction projects. We start with thoughtful designs in the planning phase to demonstrate our resolve for innovation and evolution. We boldly reconstruct and redefine space and use more high-end and refined dimensions and ratios. We adopt the stance of users to truly experience user demand. The Company's strategies for competing on the market include the following:

(1) Product planning

Residential products:
The speed of the sales of products with high unit prices and
high total prices has slowed in recent years and discounts have
increased. Companies are required to offer discounts for sales.
As consumption habits change, the Company has followed trends and
focused development on residential products with medium and small
floorspace with low total price and low down payments. We also
implemented flexible payment terms for customers to make purchases
with ease.
  • (2) Customer service

  • A. Home Go property management software

Personal electronic products have become increasingly
popular. Kuo Yang began the development of an app at the
beginning of the previous year for use in newly constructed
communities to provide digital, transparent, and immediate
property management services. Residents can use their mobile
phones to interact with the receptionist and receive general
services such as mail and express delivery notification and
collection, visitor registration, requests for repairs, payment
of management fees, public facility reservations, and access
control
  • B. Overall development of the community
Kuo Yang invests funds for revitalizing the community after
the transfer and actively plans and organizes community
activities. We invite instructors to provide courses,
facilitate interactions between residents, increase community
cohesion, and establish connections between neighbors to create

~ 118 ~

overall development of the community of "Kuo Yang happy

(III) Overview of technology and R&D:

Although the Company has not established construction technologies
or R&D units, the Company is committed to obtaining information on the
latest building materials, methodology, and technologies. We organize
internal discussions and appoint external instructors and suppliers to
exchange ideas, obtain the latest information, and expand employees'
horizons to improve their professional competencies.

(IV) Long-term and short-term business development plans:

1. Short-term development plans:

(1) Sales plans

Provide comprehensive property management for completed buildings. Increase the software value of buildings and continue sales. Implement rigorous oversight over projects under construction and adjust the sales strategy based on market conditions.

(2) Recent proposals

A: Good morning, Kuo Yang Phase 2

The project is located at Lane 62, Xinfeng Street, Keelung next to Good morning, Kuo Yang. The location is located in a low-density development area of Keelung, but offers functions of the bustling Xingfeng Street commercial district and the access to popular shopping destinations including A.mart, PX Mart, and McDonald's. It is also close to the Starbucks Xinfeng store in Keelung and located in an easy-going and relaxing environment.

B. New Jilin Urban Renewal Project

The project is located west of Jilin Road and north of Lane 168 Jilin

~ 119 ~

Road in Zhongshan District, Taipei City near to Zhongji Park and Zhongyuan Park. It is close to the Jilin Elementary School education regions and has convenient access to the Xinsheng Elevated Road. The project will offer units with 3-4 rooms.

  1. Long-term development plans::

  2. (1) Land development:

The main methods for land acquisition include outright purchase and joint construction. In the short term, the Company will continue to prioritize the development of land in the prime areas of Greater Taipei, Tainan, and Kaohsiung based on the project plans. In addition, the Company will focus on the development of urban renewal and dangerous and old building reconstruction projects.

Land is the main material for construction projects, and the choice
of land purchases affects not just the risks and profitability of
business operations. It is the most important factor for ensuring
building and housing safety. As land has become increasingly scarce
in prime locations across Taiwan and land prices continue to rise,
land acquisition has becoming increasingly difficult. However, the
Company remains committed to safety which is the most important
factor for land acquisition. We perform land surveys and analysis
in accordance with building regulations to create the first line
of defense for building safety.

During the land development stage, the Company conducts due diligence on major government policies, progress of public construction projects, regional household administration policies, and the current state of the property. We carefully evaluate the potential risks and profits of the investment and development of individual projects. Before completing the land acquisition process, we will always maintain business management and protect the interests of our customers and shareholders.

  • (2) Product planning:

The Company shall provide reasonably priced projects with different functions for buyers with different requirements and position products correctly based on location and scale.

  • (3) Resource integration:

This Company will continue to invest in the integration of computer hardware, software, and corporate intranet resources to improve management

~ 120 ~

procedures, increase work efficiency, and manage the operating procedures of customer services to strengthen the Company's competitiveness.

  • (4) Human resource management and Talent development:

The Company has established a comprehensive human resource system. In addition to enhancing employee training to improve employee quality and professional skills, we also focus on employee benefits and provide them with a good work environment to encourage them to make use of their talents at work.

The Company will continue the human resource training program to train professional employees and attract talented management personnel to attain sustainability and create better construction projects.

II.Overview of market, production, and sales

(I) Market analysis

1. Product development trends

According to the report of the National Development Council of the Executive Yuan on "Estimated Population of the Republic of China", Taiwan will become an aging society earlier than other countries, and it estimated that Taiwan will soon become an "aged society". Taiwan will be a "super-aged society" in ten years. With changes in social values and family structure, it is evident that "elderly housing" will become another mainstream product in the real estate industry. In the future, there will be a lot of room for the growth of products targeted at the elderly. The Company will learn from the thoughtful plans for elderly housing adopted in advanced countries in Europe, the United States and Japan, and introduce construction methods and facilities to plan for the future market-oriented healthcare housing products for the elderly.

According to survey data, the most obvious sign of a declining
economy is the stagnant sales of high-price products with large
floorspace, which are replaced by medium to low-price products with
small floorspace. Therefore, there is always a stable demand for
products with medium and small floorspace from first-time house buyers.
Products with medium and small floorspace benefit from numerous
advantages such as low total price. In response to the strong market
demand for residences with medium and small floorspace, the Company will
focus on projects with medium and small floorspace and retain mechanisms
for merging smaller units into medium-sized units and merging small and
medium units into large units. These mechanisms will create product

~ 121 ~

diversity to respond to the evolving demand for residences.

2. Areas of distribution of the Company's main products

The Company's main businesses include the commissioned
construction of residential buildings, commercial buildings, and
plants and offices for lease or sale. All products are designed for the
domestic market and most projects are concentrated in Greater Taipei,
Tainan, and Kaohsiung.

3. Future market supply and demand and future growth

According to data from the Construction and Planning Agency, Ministry of the Interior, the total floor area of usage licenses issued across Taiwan in 2020 was 28,247,176 square meters which was a 6.6% increase from 26,488,606 square meters in 2019.

In addition, the total floor area of construction licenses issued across Taiwan in 2020 was 41,521,034 square meters, which was a significant increase of 12.4% compared to 36,927,792 square meters in 2019. Due to the adequate control over the epidemic, low interest rates, and return of Taiwanese businesses, demand in the housing market surged in 2020 as the own-use and long-term property investments returned to the market.

1. Land for construction

The Company's Development Division continues to launch a stable
number of projects. To actively acquire land and effectively accelerate
the progress of existing projects, the Division makes good use of sources
of land provided by brokers and attends land tender seminars organized
by public and private institutions across Taiwan. We also conduct
feasibility analyses on individual land tenders or public urban renewal
projects. The Company expands development beyond residential projects
and adopts different product positioning based on the different economic,
environmental, and social needs in each area. The main products can be
divided into residential buildings and commercial buildings based on
their functions. The Company also targets other projects including hotels,
department stores, office buildings, and plants and offices. After
collecting related information, we actively participate in the tenders
of feasible projects. We learn about the location, ownership, and

~ 123 ~

quantity of land materials in specific areas and actively request real
estate brokers to broker deals. The Company's long-term diversified land
development strategy focuses on joint development with owners of private
land, urban renewal projects, MRT joint development projects, and other
related development models for project evaluations. We increase the
diversity of projects and acquire land when necessary to meet the
Company's operational needs. The Company is also open to strategic
alliances or joint development with other developers to integrate
external resources, develop more projects, and create more sources of
revenue for the Company.

2. Construction projects

The Company appoints architects' offices with domestic
qualifications for the design of projects to maintain the Company's brand
image and the quality of projects. We also appoint Grade A construction
companies in Taiwan for the construction of the main parts of construction
projects. The parties sign official contract to protect the Company's
interests and closely monitor the construction costs and profits.

  • Decrease in financial leverage: Mainly due to the decrease in operating profit and decrease in interest expenses in 2020
Note : The formula for calculating the financial ratio is as follows:

1. Financial structure

  • (1) Debt to total assets ratio = total liabilities / total assets.

  • (2) Ratio of long-term capital to real estate properties, plants and equipment = (total equity + non-current liabilities) / net amount of real estate properties, plants and equipment.

2. Solvency

  • (1) Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities.

  • (2) Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory - prepaid expense) / current liabilities.

  • (3) Interest protection multiples = net income before tax and interest expenses / current interest expenses.

3. Operating ability

  • (1) Accounts receivable (including accounts receivable and notes receivable arising from operation) turnover ratio = net sales / average receivables (including accounts receivable and notes receivable arising from operation) balances.

  • (2) Average collection period = 365 / receivable turnover.

  • (3) Inventory turnover = cost of goods sold / average inventory.

  • (4) Accounts payable (including accounts payable and notes payable arising from operation) turnover ratio = cost of goods sold / average payables (including accounts payable and notes payable arising from operation) balances.

  • (5) Average inventory turnover days = 365 / inventory turnover.

  • (6) Property, plant, and equipment turnover ratio = net sales / average net for property, plant, and equipment.

  • (7) Total assets turnover = net sales / average total assets.

4. Profitability

  • (1) Return on assets = [net income + interest expense (1 tax rate)] / average total assets.

  • (2) Return on equity = income after tax/net average equity.

  • (3) Net margin = net income / net sales.

  • (4) Earnings per share = (profit or loss attributable to owners of the parent

  • company - preferred stock dividends) / weighted average number of shares issued.

~ 138 ~

(Note 4)

5. Cash flow

  • (1) Cash flow ratio = new cash flows from operating activities / current liabilities.

  • (2) Net cash flow adequacy ratio = Net cash flow from operating activities for the most recent five years / (capital expenditures + inventory increase + cash dividend) for the most recent five years.

  • (3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (net cash flows from operating activities cash dividend) / (gross margin of property, plant and equipment + long-term investment + other non-current assets + working capital). (Note 5)

6. Leverage:

  • (1) Operating leverage = (net operating revenue - variable operating cost and expenses) / operating profit (Note 6).

  • (2) Financial leverage = operating profit / (operating profit - interest expenses).

The Consolidated Balance Sheet of Kuo Yang Construction Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as Kuo Yang Group) as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (including a summary of material accounting policies) from January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been audited by the CPA.

In our opinion, based on the results of the CPA's audit and the audit reports of other CPAs (refer to Other Supplementary Matters), the aforementioned Consolidated Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and explanations/interpretations approved by FSC in all material respects and are therefore sufficient in presenting the consolidated financial conditions of the Kuo Yang Group as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flow from January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Basis of Audit Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibility based on these standards will be explained in greater detail in the section on our responsibilities for the review of the Consolidated Financial Statements. The personnel of the CPA firm who are governed by regulations on independence have acted according to the ROC CPA Code of Professional Ethics and remained independent of Kuo Yang Group when fulfilling other obligations set forth in the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

The key audit matters pertain to the most important items of Kuo Yang Group's 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements as per the professional judgment of the CPA. 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.

~142~

Key audit matters of the Consolidated Financial Statements of Kuo Yang Group for 2020 are as follows:

Appropriateness of the period in which income from the sales of houses and land is recognized

Description

Refer to Note 4 (29) in the Consolidated Financial Statements for accounting policies on operating revenue from construction. Refer to Note 6 (18) of the Consolidated Financial Report for description of accounting items.

The revenue from the sales of houses and land in the construction business is recognized when the ownership of the real estate is transferred and the property inspection certificate is delivered to the customer. As the houses and land of a construction business are sold to many customers, the CPA is required to review all information on the transfer of ownership before recognizing sales revenue. The process generally involves a high amount of manual labor to determine the accuracy of the timing for recognizing sales revenue. Therefore, the CPA regarded the appropriateness of the period in which income from the sales of houses and land is recognized as one of the most important items in the audit.

Corresponding auditing procedures

The CPA has compiled the following corresponding procedures that were executed for the specific levels described in the aforementioned key audit matters:

  • We interviewed the management to understand and review the procedures for recognizing sales revenue from the sales of houses and land and verify whether the procedures have been consistently adopted in the period of the Financial Statements.

  • We assessed and tested the appropriateness of the period in which income from the sales of houses and land is recognized by the management within a certain period after the end of the period, including the information on the transfer of ownership of the land and houses and related dates to verify the accuracy of the timing for recognizing sales revenue.

Inventories valuation - land for construction

Description

Refer to Note 4 (13) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for accounting policies on construction land valuation. Refer to Note 5 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for accounting estimates and uncertainties of assumptions for inventory valuation. Refer to Note 6 (5) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for description of accounting items.

The inventory valuation of Kuo Yang Construction is measured based on the cost and net realizable value (NRV), whichever is lower. The houses and land held for sale and houses and land under construction are compared with the most recent transaction prices in the vicinity of the sites or the Company's recent sales contracts. As it is difficult to obtain comparable sales prices for construction land, the valuation of the net realizable value of construction land requires the judgment or estimate of the management. Therefore, we consider the valuation of the net realizable value of a construction site as one of the most important items in the audit.

~143~

Corresponding auditing procedures

  • Understand and assess the internal operating procedures and accounting procedures for the valuation of land for construction by the Company's management.

  • Obtain data for the assessment of the net realizable value, confirm the reasonableness of the data sources, assumptions, or methods employed, and test the content of the data to confirm the reasonableness of the construction land valuation.

Other matters - Reference to audits of other CPAs

We did not audit certain investments accounted for through the equity method in the financial statements of Kuo Yang Group for 2020 and 2019. Those financial statements were audited by other CPAs. As such, our opinions in the aforementioned Consolidated Financial Statements on the amounts included in the aforementioned financial statements and related information disclosed in Note 13 were based on audit reports of other CPAs. The investment on equity method totaling NT$564,559 thousand and NT$202,017 thousand as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 accounted for 2.78% and 1.09% of the total assets, respectively. The comprehensive income recognized for 2020 and 2019 was NT$34,168 thousand and NT$(9,354) thousand, which accounted for 0.64% and (7.79%) of the total comprehensive income for the period, respectively.

Other matters - Individual Financial Statements

Kuo Yang Construction Co., Ltd. has prepared Individual Financial Statements for 2020, for which we have issued an audit report containing an unqualified opinion plus other matters for reference.

Responsibilities of the management and the governing bodies for the Consolidated Financial Statements

The responsibility of the management was to prepare the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" to properly indicate the company's financial status and to maintain necessary internal control with regard to establishment of consolidated financial statements to ensure such financial statements did not contain any false contents as a result of fraudulence or mistakes.

When the Consolidated Financial Statements were in the process of preparation, the responsibility of the management also included assessment of the capacity of Kuo Yang Group to continue operation, disclosure of related matters and the accounting approaches to be adopted when the company continued to operate unless the management intended to liquidate or suspend the business of Kuo Yang Group if there was not any other option except liquidation or suspension of the company's business.

The governance units (including the Audit Committee) of Kuo Yang Group are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.

~144~

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 misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditor's report. Reasonably reliable means highly reliable. However, auditing work carried out in accordance with the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards of the ROC cannot guarantee detection of significant misrepresentations in the Consolidated Financial Statements. 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.

When conducting the auditing work according to the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards of the ROC, we exercised our professional judgment and remained professionally skeptical. We also execute the following tasks:

  1. Identified and evaluated the risk of material misstatement due to fraud or error in the Consolidated Financial Statements; Designed and carried out appropriate countermeasures for the evaluated risks; Obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence as the basis for the audit opinion. As fraud may involve collusion, forgery, deliberate omissions, false statements, or violations of internal controls, the risks of material misstatements due to fraud are greater than those caused by errors.

  2. Acquired necessary understanding about internal control which matters to audit and provide appropriate audit procedure under such circumstances. However, the purpose of such understanding is not for providing any opinion on the effectiveness of internal control of Kuo Yang Group.

  3. Evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.

  4. Concluded on the appropriateness of the 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 Kuo Yang Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we consider that material uncertainty exists in these matters or conditions, we are required to remind the users of the Consolidated Financial Statements to pay attention to relevant disclosure in the statements in their audit report, or revise the audit opinions when such disclosure is inappropriate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause Kuo Yang Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  5. Evaluated the overall expression, structure and content of the Consolidated Financial Statements (including related notes) and if these statements present fairly the related transactions and events.

  6. Obtained sufficient and appropriate proof for audit on the finances of the individual entities in Kuo Yang Group to state our opinion on the Consolidated Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the consolidated audit. We remain solely responsible for the audit opinions of the Consolidated Financial Statements.

The CPAs' communications with the governance units include the planned scope and period of the audit and material finding in the audit (including significant defects identified in the internal control during auditing procedures).

We provided governance units with a statement assuring the personnel of our accounting firm who are subject to independent regulations had acted according to the ROC CPA Code of Professional Ethics to remain neutral and communicated with them about the all relations and other matters (including related preventive measures) that could affect the independence of the CPA.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, the CPA determines matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements of Kuo Yang Group for the current period 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

~145~

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.

IV. Summary of significant accounting policies

The material accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Consolidated Financial Report are summarized as follows: Except as stated otherwise, such policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented.

(I) Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC interpretations and SIC interpretations (collectively referred to as "IFRSs") endorsed by the FSC.

  • (II) Basis of preparation

  • Except for the following items, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

    • (1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

    • (2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

    • (3) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets minus present value of defined benefit obligation.

  • The preparation of financial statements in conformity with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group's accounting policies. The items involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or items where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

(III) Basis of consolidation

  1. Basis for preparation of financial statements

  2. (1) All subsidiaries are included in the Group's consolidated financial statements. "Subsidiaries" are all entities controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.

  3. (2) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

  4. (3) The profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income shall be attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests, and total comprehensive income shall also be attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this

~155~

results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

  • (4) Changes in a parent's ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are equity transactions (i.e., transactions among owners in their capacity as owners). Difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received shall be recognized directly in equity.

  • (5) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. The fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the affiliate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognized in profit or loss. The amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the Group directly disposed of relevant assets or liabilities. It means that profit or loss previously recognized in other consolidated profit or loss shall be reclassified as profit or loss when related assets or liabilities are disposed of. When the Group loses control over this subsidiary, the profit and loss shall be transferred from equity and reclassified as profit or loss.

  3. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group: None.

(IV) Foreign currency translation

Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group's entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (i.e., the "functional currency"). The Consolidated Financial Report is presented in NTD which is the Company's functional currency.

  1. Foreign currency transactions and balances

  2. (1) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  3. (2) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  4. (3) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

  5. (4) All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within "other gains and losses" based on the nature of the transactions.

  6. Translation of foreign operations

  7. (1) The operating results and financial position of all the Group’s entities and affiliates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

    • A. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;

    • B. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average

~157~

exchange rates of that period; and

  • C. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

  • (2) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.

(V) Classification of current and non-current items

The Group engages in commissioned construction of buildings or plants for sale and contracting for construction projects with business cycles which are generally more than 1 year. Assets and liabilities related to the construction business are classified as current or non-current based on the business cycle. The standards for the classification of current and non-current accounts are as follows:

  1. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets:

  2. (1) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

  3. (2) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

  4. (3) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date; or

  5. (4) Cash and cash equivalents, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

Assets not meeting the above criteria are classified by the Group as non-current assets.

  1. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities:

  2. (1) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;

  3. (2) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

  4. (3) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date; or

  5. (4) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

Liabilities not meeting the above criteria are classified by the Group as non-current liabilities.

~158~

(VI) Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

(VII) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  1. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.

  2. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using transaction date accounting.

  3. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets are subsequently measured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in profit or loss.

  4. The Group recognizes the dividend income in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

(VIII) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

  1. The Group may make irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognize the changes in fair value in other comprehensive income for the investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading.

  2. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using transaction date accounting.

  3. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Group subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value:

The changes in fair value of equity instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income shall be recorded to retained earnings and not be reclassified to profit or loss upon the derecognition. The Group recognizes the dividend income in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Group, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

(IX) Accounts and notes receivable

  1. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Group a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.

  2. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

~159~

(X) Impairment of financial assets

For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortized cost at each balance sheet date, the Company recognizes the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognizes the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information (including forecasts). On the other hand, the Group recognizes the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs for accounts receivable or contract assets containing a significant financing component.

(XI) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

(XII) Lease transaction as a lessor

Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

  • (XIII) Inventories

  • Inventories include construction land, houses and land under construction, and houses and land to be sold which are initially recorded at cost. Construction profit and loss is recognized based on the completed-contract method. Construction land is listed as houses and land under construction when they are under active development. The related interest expenses are capitalized in the period from active development or commencement of construction till the completion of construction.

  • Inventories at the end of the period is measured based on the cost and net realizable value, whichever is lower. The item-by-item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable expenses.

(XIV) Investments/affiliates recognized under the equity method

  1. Affiliates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that an investor has significant influence if the investor holds, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting rights of the investee. Investments in affiliates are accounted for through the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.

  2. The Group's share of its affiliates' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Group's share of losses in an affiliate equals or exceeds its interest in the affiliate, the Group does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliate.

  3. When changes in an affiliate's equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the affiliate and such changes do not affect the Group's ownership percentage of the affiliate, the Group recognizes change in ownership interests in the affiliate in "capital surplus" in proportion to its ownership.

~160~
  1. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Group and its affiliates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the affiliates. Unrealized losses are also eliminated unless evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred in the transaction is provided. Accounting policies of affiliates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.

  2. When the Group disposes its investment in an affiliate and loses significant influence over this affiliate, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the affiliate are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the Group directly disposed of relevant assets or liabilities. It means that profit or loss previously recognized in other consolidated profit or loss shall be reclassified as profit or loss when related assets or liabilities are disposed of. When the Group loses material influence over this affiliate, the profit and loss shall be transferred from equity and reclassified as profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this affiliate, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the affiliate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.

(XV) Joint operations

With regard to equity in joint operations, the Group recognizes the direct rights (and its share) of the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses from joint operations, and has included them in the applicable accounts of the Financial Report.

  • (XVI) Property, plant and equipment

  • Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.

  • Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  • Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.

  • The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful life of real property is 50 years and the useful life of other assets is 3-5 years.

(XVII) Lease transaction as a lessee - right-of-use assets/lease liabilities

  1. The Group recognizes lease assets as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the commencement date of the lease. For short-term leases or leases of low value assets, lease payments are recognized as expenses using the straight-line method during the lease term.

  2. On the commencement date, the Group measures lease liabilities by the present value of

~161~

outstanding lease payments, using the Group's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments include

  • (1) Fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable; and

  • (2) Variable lease payments determined by changes in an index or rate.

In subsequent periods, the Group measures lease liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method and recognizes interest expense during the lease term. If the lease term or lease payment is changed due to reasons other than amendments to the lease contracts, the Group will remeasure the lease liabilities. The remeasurement amount is then recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use assets.

  1. Lease liabilities are recognized at cost on the starting date of the lease. The cost includes:

  2. (1) the original measurement amount of the lease liabilities;

  3. (2) any lease payments made on or before the commencement date;

  4. (3) any original direct cost incurred; and

  5. (4) Estimated cost for the dismantling and removal of the asset and the restoration of its location, or the estimated cost for the restoration of conditions specified in the lease criteria and conditions.

The right-of-use assets are subsequently measured by adopting the cost model. The Group depreciates the right-of-use assets at the earlier of the right-of-use assets' useful life or the end of lease term. When a lease liability is reassessed, the right-of-use asset is adjusted for any remeasurements of the lease liability.

(XVIII) Investment properties

An investment property is measured initially at its cost and subsequently measured under the cost approach. The depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 20 to 60 years.

(XIX) Intangible assets

Intangible assets include computer software which is recognized at acquisition cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 years.

(XX) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there are any impairment indications. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognized.

(XXI) Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

(XXII) Accounts and notes payable

  1. Accounts payable are the liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods, or services, and
~162~

notes payable generated from operations and those not generated from operations.

  1. The short-term accounts and notes payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(XXIII) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognized when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged, canceled, or expired.

(XXIV) Financial guarantee contracts

Financial guarantee contracts are contracts for which the Group must pay specific benefits to reimburse the holder of debt instruments for losses incurred when a specific debtor is unable to repay its debts upon maturity in accordance with the terms of the original or modified debt instrument. At initial recognition, the Group measures the financial guarantee contracts at fair value. The Group subsequently measures them based on the impairment provision for the expected credit losses and recognized cumulative earnings, whichever is higher.

(XXV) Employee benefits

  1. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service, and shall be recognized as expenses when the employees have rendered service.

  1. Pension

  2. (1) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions shall be recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions shall be recognized that excess as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  • (2) Defined benefit plans

  • A. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is accrued from the present value of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their services in the current or prior periods. The Group recognized the present value of the defined benefit obligation deducting the fair value of plan assets at the balance sheet date. Net obligation of the defined benefit is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method and is discounted by using the market yield on government bonds (at the balance sheet date) of the same currency in the same the period on the balance sheet date and calculations of defined benefit obligations.

  • B. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.

  • C. Expenses associated with past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

~163~
  1. Employees' remuneration and directors' remuneration

Employees’ remuneration and directors’ remuneration are recognized as expense and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employees' remuneration is distributed by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the Board of Directors' resolution.

- (XXVI) Employee share based payment

The date on which the Group notifies the employees of the shares retained for employee subscription in the cash capital increase, and the parties agree on the quantity and price of subscription shall be graded as the grant date.

(XXVII) Income tax

  1. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.

  2. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted as of the balance sheet date in the countries where the Group operates and generates taxable income. The tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense for the year after the shareholders' meeting passes the earnings distribution proposal in the following year.

  3. Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. The deferred income tax is not accounted if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction (excluding business mergers) that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

  4. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are

~164~

reassessed.

  1. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(XXVIII) Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the Company's financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Company's shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities.

(XXIX) Revenue recognition

Land development and real property sales

  1. The Group's main business activities are land development and real property sales. Revenue is recognized when the control of the real property is transferred to customers. For contracts for the sale of residential properties, the real property has no other use to the Group due to contract restrictions. However, the Group has an enforceable right to the contract payments only when the legal title or use of the real estate is transferred to the customer. Therefore, revenue is recognized when the legal title or use is transferred to the customer.

  2. The Group has included customers' advance payments in the contracts for pre-sales houses, and the period between the advanced payment and the transfer of the control of the product is longer than one year. According to IFRS 15, if the Group determines that there are material financial compositions in the individual contracts for pre-sales houses, it is required to adjust the pledged consideration and recognize interest expenses. IFRS 15 also states that companies should consider the materiality of financial components only at the level of the contract and not at the level of the portfolio when determining whether a financial loan is material.

(XXX) Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal management reports provided to the chief operating decision-maker, who is responsible for allocating resources to operating segments and evaluating their performance.

V. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and main uncertainty assumptions

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgments in applying the Group's accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future

~165~

events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Refer to the explanation on significant accounting judgments, estimates, and uncertainty assumptions below. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year,

(I) Critical judgments in applying accounting policies

None.

(II) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Group must determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgments and estimates. The management of the Group mainly uses past experience and estimates of future market sales value as the basis for estimation. Therefore, there may be significant changes.

The Group's inventory information as of December 31, 2020 is detailed in Note 6 (5).

(XIII) Pension

  1. The Company has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the "Labor Standards Act",
~178~

covering all regular employees' service years prior to the enforcement of the "Labor Pension Act" on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue the pension mechanism under the "Labor Standards Act" after the enforcement of the "Labor Pension Act". Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees' monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent Supervisory Committee of Labor Retirement Reserve Fund (the "Fund"). Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the aforementioned Fund. If the balance in the Fund is inadequate to pay the retirement benefits of employees who are eligible for retirement in the following year by the aforementioned method, the Company is required to fund the deficit in one appropriation before the end of next March. The Company has settled accounts for the service years of employees under the old system, applied for the refund of the balance of the employee pension reserve fund, and closed the dedicated account on April 15, 2020.

  • (3) The assets of the Company's defined benefit pension plan are entrusted to the Bank of Taiwan in accordance with Article 6 of the Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilization of the Labor Retirement Fund (i.e., deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, and investment in domestic or foreign real estate and its securitization products) within the proportion and amount of the entrusted items set forth in the annual investment and utilization plan of the fund. The use of assets is supervised by the Labor Pension Fund Supervisory Committee. For the use of the fund, the minimum annual earnings to be distributed in the final accounts shall not be lower than the earnings calculated based on the interest rate of two-year time deposits in a local bank. Any shortfall shall be made up by the National Treasury with the approval of the competent authority. As the Company had no rights to participate in the operations and management of the Fund, the Company is unable to disclose the classification of the fair value of plan assets in accordance with Paragraph 142 of IAS 19. Please refer to the Labor Pension Fund Utilization Report published by the government for each year for the fair value of the total assets of the fund as of December 31, 2019.

  • (4) The actuarial assumptions related to pensions are summarized as follows:

Discount rate
Future salary increase rate
2019
0.65%
2.00%

The assumptions for future mortality are based on statistics published by each country and past data.

The present value of defined benefit obligations affected by the adoption of key actuarial assumptions is analyzed as follows:

The aforementioned sensitivity analysis is an analysis of the effect of a change in a single assumption while other assumptions remain unchanged. In actual practice, many changes in assumptions may be linked. The sensitivity analysis is consistent with the methodology used for calculating the net pension liabilities on the balance sheet.

  1. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company and domestic subsidiaries have established a defined contribution pension plan (New Plan) under the Labor Pension Act, covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, the Company and domestic subsidiaries contribute monthly an amount based on 6% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance for employees who opt for the pension system in the "Labor Pension Act". The contribution plan accrues dividends from an employee’s individual account and is paid monthly or in lump sum upon retirement of an employee. The pension costs recognized by the Group in accordance with
~180~

the above pension plan were $3,095 and $3,111 in 2020 and 2019.

According to the Company Act, capital surplus can only be used to offset losses. However, capital surplus arising from shares issued at premium (including the issuance of common shares at premium, capital stock premiums as a result of stock issuance due to a merger, and treasury stock transactions) and donations received may be used, in part or in whole, for the distribution of new shares or cash based on the shareholders' original shareholding ratio in accordance with a resolution of the shareholders' meeting when the Company does not have deficits. The Company may use capital surplus to offset losses only when the legal reserve cannot fully cover capital losses. The capital surplus recognized as long-term equity investments under the equity method cannot not be used for any purpose.

(XVI) Retained earnings

  1. According to the earnings distribution policy in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, in the event of surplus earnings after closing of annual accounts, due taxes shall be paid in accordance with the law, and losses incurred in previous years shall be compensated. Upon completion of the preceding actions, 10% of the remainder surplus shall be allocated as legal reserve. However, in the event that the accumulated legal reserve is equivalent to or exceeds the
~181~

Company's total paid-in capital, such allocation may be exempted. In addition, the Board of Directors may, after allocating or reversing special reserve pursuant to the laws or regulations of the competent authority, retain parts of the earnings and prepare an earnings distribution proposal along with undistributed earnings at the beginning of the period. Where the Company intends to distribute earnings by issuing new shares, it shall file a proposal to the shareholders' meeting and obtain approval in a resolution before the distribution. Where dividends are distributed in cash, the Board of Directors shall be authorized to determine such distribution by a resolution adopted by a majority vote at a meeting attended by over two thirds of the Directors and it shall be reported at the shareholders' meeting.

  1. The shareholders' meeting approved the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation in a resolution on June 10, 2020. According to the Company's earnings distribution policy in the Articles of Incorporation, the Company may proceed with the distribution of earnings of making up for losses at the end of each quarter in accordance with the Company Act. Before distributing earnings, the Company shall estimate and retain payable taxes, make up for losses, and allocate funds to legal reserve. However, the allocation of legal reserve does not apply when the Company's legal surplus reserve has reached its paid-in capital. Where the earnings are distributed in cash, they shall be processed in accordance with a resolution of the meeting of the Board of Directors and reported in the shareholders' meeting. Where the Company intends to distribute dividends by issuing new shares, it shall be processed in accordance with Article 240 of the Company Act based on a resolution of the shareholders' meeting.

  2. The legal reserve may only be used for offsetting deficits and the distribution of new shares or cash based on the shareholders' original shareholding ratio. However, when new shares or cash dividends are distributed, the distribution shall be restricted to the legal reserve in excess of 25% of the paid-in capital.

  3. When the Company distributes earnings, it shall first appropriate funds for the special reserve from the balance of other equities of borrowers as of the balance sheet date of the current year in accordance with laws and regulations. Once the balance of other equities of borrowers has been reversed, the reversed amount may be calculated as distributable earnings.

  4. The Company's dividend policy is set up in accordance with the Company Act and the Articles of Incorporation and determined by the Company's financial structure, earnings, and long-term business plans to meet the development and transformation needs. The ratio of stock dividends to cash dividends shall be determined each year based on the requirements for working capital, provided that the cash dividends shall not be less than 20%. When the paid-in capital has reached NT$10 billion, the cash dividends shall not be less than 50%.

  5. The appropriations of 2019 and 2018 earnings were approved by the shareholders’ meeting on June 10, 2020 and June 18, 2019, respectively. Details are summarized as follows:

2. Risk management policy

The objective of the Group's financial risk management is to manage the market risks, credit risks, and liquidity risks related to operating activities. The Group conducts the identification, valuation, and management of the aforementioned risks based on its policies and risk preferences.

The Group has set up appropriate policies, procedures, and internal control for the aforementioned financial risk management based on relevant standards. Significant financing activities must be reviewed by the Board of Directors in accordance with relevant standards and the internal control system. During implementations of financial management activities, the Group shall strictly abide by the regulations established for financial risk management.

3. Significant financial risks and degree of financial risks

  • (1) Market risks

Foreign exchange risks

The Group's main operating activities are in Taiwan and the main currency is the NTD. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations is minimal and we therefore expect no significant exchange rate risks.

Price risks

  • A. The Group's equity instruments exposed to price risks are financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage the price risks of investments in equity instruments, the Group diversifies its investment portfolio in accordance with the limits set by the Group.

  • B. The Group's main investments consist of equity instruments issued by domestic companies and open-ended funds. The prices of such equity instruments are affected by the uncertainty of the future value of underlying investments. If the price of such equity instruments rises or falls by 1% and all other factors remain constant, the net profit after tax as a result of the profit or loss in the equity tools measured at fair value in 2020 and 2019 will increase or decrease by $323 and $369, respectively. The gain or loss on equity investments classified as equity instruments in other comprehensive income measured at fair value through profit and loss will increase or decrease by $3,785 and $914, respectively.

Interest rate risk for cash flow and fair value

  • A. The Group's interest rate risks mainly arise from short-term borrowings and short-term notes and bills payable. Borrowings at floating rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risks, which are partially offset by cash held at floating rates. Borrowings at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risks. In 2020 and 2019, the Group's loans calculated based on floating interest rates were calculated in NTD.

  • B. The Group simulates various plans and analyzes interest rate risks, including considering plans for refinancing or renewal of existing positions and other available financing plans to calculate the impact of specific changes interest rates on profit or loss.

  • C. If all other factors remain constant, the maximum impact of a 1% change in interest rates on financial costs in 2020 and 2019 would result in an increase or decrease of $54,022 and $83,761, respectively.

  • (2) Credit risks

  • A. The Group's credit risks refer to the risks of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments. The risks are mainly derived from the counterparty's failure to settle the accounts receivable based on

~196~

payment collection terms.

  • B. The Group establishes credit risk management from the perspective of the Group. The Group has set a minimum independent credit rating of "A" for banks and financial institutions before they can be accepted as transaction counterparties.

  • C. The Group's main business activities are the lease and sales of residential buildings, industrial plants, and commercial buildings. Revenue from the sale of properties is recognized upon the full payment of the contract price, the completion of the transfer of ownership, and the actual delivery of the properties. Therefore, the amount of accounts receivable arising from the sale of properties is considered insignificant and the possibility of non-recovery is low. The Group manages receivables in special transactions on an individual basis and tracks such receivables on a regular basis. The amount of the Group's assessed credit impairment losses as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was insignificant.

  • D. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no debts with recourse that were written off.

  • (3) Liquidity risks

  • A. Cash flow forecasting is performed by each Group entity and aggregated by the Group treasury. The Group's Finance Department monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities.

  • B. The Group's non-derivative financial liabilities are analyzed based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. Derivative financial liabilities are analyzed based on the fair value on the balance sheet date. The amount of undiscounted contract cash flows of notes payable and other payables is approximately equal to their carrying amounts and is due within one year. The amount of undiscounted contractual cash flows for other financial liabilities is described in the following table:

     - C. The Group does not expect the timing of occurrence of the cash flows estimated through the maturity date will be significantly earlier, nor expect the actual cash flow amount would be significantly different.
  • (III) Fair value information

  • The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

    • Level 1:Quotation (unadjusted) of the same asset or liability from an active market can be obtained on the measurement date. An active market refers to a market in which transactions in assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on a continuous basis.

    • Level 2:Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

  1. Please refer to Note 6 (10) for information on the fair value of investment properties carried at cost.

  2. The carrying amount of financial instruments not carried at fair value, including cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, other financial assets - current, refundable deposits, long-term prepaid rent, short-term borrowings, short-term notes payable, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, and deposit received, are reasonable approximations of the fair value.

  3. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities are as follows:

  4. (1) The information on the Group's classification of assets by nature is as follows:

  • (2) The methods and assumptions that the Group used to measure the fair value are as follows: A. The instruments for which the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (i.e., Level 1) are divided by the characteristics of the instruments as follows:
Market quoted price Listed stocks
Closing price
Open-end funds
Net worth
  • B. Except for the financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes.

  • There was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 in the Group in 2020 and 2019.

  • The Level-3 movements for 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

  1. An independent appraiser appointed by the Group is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorized within Level 3. The appraiser submits a valuation report for the Finance Department to perform the fair value verification of financial instruments to ensure that the source of data is independent, reliable, and represented as the exercisable price.

V. ndividual financial statements of the most recent year

Independent Auditor's Report (2021) Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi No. 20004774

To Kuo Yang Construction Co., Ltd.:

Audit Opinions

The Individual Balance Sheet of Kuo Yang Construction Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the Individual Statement of Comprehensive Income, Individual Statement of Changes in Equity, Individual Cash Flow Statement, and Notes to the Individual Financial Statements (including a summary of material accounting policies) from January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been audited by the CPA.

In our opinion, based on the results of the CPA's audit and the audit reports of other CPAs (refer to Other Supplementary Matters), the aforementioned Individual Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers in all material respects and are therefore sufficient in presenting the individual financial conditions of Kuo Yang Construction Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the individual financial performance and individual cash flow from January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019.

Basis of Audit Opinions

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards in the Republic of China. Our responsibility based on these standards will be explained in greater detail in the section on our responsibilities for the review of the Individual Financial Statements. The personnel of the CPA firm who are governed by regulations on independence have acted according to the ROC CPA Code of Professional Ethics and remained independent of Kuo Yang Construction when fulfilling other obligations set forth in the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

The key audit matters pertain to the most important items of Kuo Yang Construction's 2020 Individual Financial Statements as per the professional judgment of the CPA. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the Individual Financial Statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

~214~

Key audit matters of the Individual Financial Statements of Kuo Yang Construction for 2020 are as follows:

Appropriateness of the period in which income from the sales of houses and land is recognized

Description

Refer to Note 4 (26) in the Individual Financial Statements for accounting policies on operating revenue from construction, and refer to Note 6 (17) for the explanation of accounting items.

The revenue from the sales of houses and land in the construction business is recognized when the ownership of the real estate is transferred and the property inspection certificate is delivered to the customer. As the houses and land of a construction business are sold to many customers, the CPA is required to review all information on the transfer of ownership before recognizing sales revenue. The process generally involves a high amount of manual labor to determine the accuracy of the timing for recognizing sales revenue. Therefore, the CPA regarded the appropriateness of the period in which income from the sales of houses and land is recognized as one of the most important items in the audit.

Corresponding auditing procedures

The CPA has compiled the following corresponding procedures that were executed for the specific levels described in the aforementioned key audit matters:

  • We interviewed the management to understand and review the procedures for recognizing sales revenue from the sales of houses and land and verify whether the procedures have been consistently adopted in the period of the Financial Statements.

  • We assessed and tested the appropriateness of the period in which income from the sales of houses and land is recognized by the management within a certain period after the end of the period, including the information on the transfer of ownership of the land and houses and related dates to verify the accuracy of the timing for recognizing sales revenue.

Inventories valuation - land for construction

Description

Refer to Note 4 (12) of the Individual Financial Statements for accounting policies on construction land valuation. Refer to Note 5 of the Individual Financial Report for accounting estimates and uncertainties of assumptions for inventory valuation. Refer to Note 6 (5) of the Individual Financial Report for description of accounting items.

The inventory valuation of Kuo Yang Construction is measured based on the cost and net realizable value (NRV), whichever is lower. The houses and land held for sale and houses and land under construction are compared with the most recent transaction prices in the vicinity of the sites or the Company's recent sales contracts. As it is difficult to obtain comparable sales prices for construction land, the valuation of the net realizable value of construction land requires the judgment or estimate of the management. Therefore, we consider the valuation of the net realizable value of a construction site as one of the most important items in the audit.

~215~

Corresponding auditing procedures

  • Understand and assess the internal operating procedures and accounting procedures for the valuation of land for construction by the Company's management.

  • Obtain data for the assessment of the net realizable value, confirm the reasonableness of the data sources, assumptions, or methods employed, and test the content of the data to confirm the reasonableness of the construction land valuation.

Other matters - Reference to audits of other CPAs

We did not audit certain investments accounted for through the equity method in the financial statements of Kuo Yang Construction for 2020 and 2019. Those financial statements were audited by other CPAs. As such, our opinions in the aforementioned Individual Financial Statements on the amounts included in the aforementioned financial statements and related information disclosed in Note 13 were based on audit reports of other CPAs. The investment on equity method totaling NT$564,559 thousand and NT$202,017 thousand as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 accounted for 2.94% and 1.17% of the total assets, respectively. The comprehensive income recognized for 2020 and 2019 was NT$34,168 thousand and NT$(9,354) thousand, which accounted for 0.64% and (7.79%) of the total comprehensive income for the period, respectively.

Responsibilities of the management and the governing bodies for the Individual Financial Statements

The responsibility of the management was to prepare the individual financial statements in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" to properly indicate the company's financial status and to maintain necessary internal control with regard to establishment of individual financial statements to ensure such financial statements did not contain any false contents as a result of fraudulence or mistakes.

When the Individual Financial Statements were in the process of preparation, the responsibility of the management also included assessment of the capacity of Kuo Yang Construction to continue operation, disclosure of related matters and the accounting approaches to be adopted when the company continued to operate unless the management intended to liquidate or suspend the business of Kuo Yang Construction if there was not any other option except liquidation or suspension of the company's business.

The governance units (including the Audit Committee) of Kuo Yang Construction are responsible for overseeing the financial reporting process.

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Individual Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Individual Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditor's report. Reasonably reliable means highly reliable. However, auditing work carried out in accordance with the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards of the ROC cannot guarantee detection of significant misrepresentations in the Individual Financial Statements. 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

~216~

economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

  • When conducting the auditing work according to the Generally Accepted Auditing

  • Standards of the ROC, we exercised our professional judgment and remained professionally skeptical. We also execute the following tasks: 1. Identified and evaluated the risk of material misstatement due to fraud or error in the Individual Financial Statements. Designed and carried out appropriate countermeasures for the evaluated risks; Obtained sufficient and appropriate evidence as the basis for the audit opinion. As fraud may involve collusion, forgery, deliberate omissions, false statements, or violations of internal controls, the risks of material misstatements due to fraud are greater than those caused by errors.

  • Acquired necessary understanding about internal control which matters to audit and provide appropriate audit procedure under such circumstances. However, the purpose of such understanding is not for providing any opinion on the effectiveness of internal control of Kuo Yang Construction.

  • Evaluated the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management.

  • Concluded on the appropriateness of the 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 Kuo Yang Construction's ability to continue as a going concern. If we consider that material uncertainty exists in these matters or conditions, we are required to remind the users of the Individual Financial Statements to pay attention to relevant disclosure in the statements in their audit report, or revise the audit opinions when such disclosure is inappropriate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of the auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause Kuo Yang Construction to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • Evaluated the overall expression, structure and content of the Individual Financial Statements (including related notes) and if these statements present fairly the related transactions and events.

  • Obtained sufficient and appropriate proof for audit on the finances of the individual entities in Kuo Yang Construction to state our opinion on the Individual Financial Statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the individual audit. We remain solely responsible for the audit opinions of the Individual Financial Statements.

The CPAs' communications with the governance units include the planned scope and period of the audit and material finding in the audit (including significant defects identified in the internal control during auditing procedures).

We provided governance units with a statement assuring the personnel of our accounting firm who are subject to independent regulations had acted according to the ROC CPA Code of Professional Ethics to remain neutral and communicated with them about the all relations and other matters (including related preventive measures) that could affect the independence of the CPA.

~217~

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, the CPA determines matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2020 Individual Financial Statements of Kuo Yang Construction for the current period 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.

  2. IV. Summary of significant accounting policies

The material accounting policies applied in the preparation of the Individual Financial Report are summarized as follows: Except as stated otherwise, such policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented.

  • (I) Statement of compliance

The individual financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers".

  • (II) Basis of preparation

  • Except for the following items, these individual financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

    • (1) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss.

    • (2) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.

    • (3) Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets minus present value of defined benefit obligation.

  • The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the "IFRSs") requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company's accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the individual financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

  • (III) Foreign currency translation

Items included in the individual financial statements of the Company are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the Company operates (i.e., the "functional currency"). The Individual Financial Report is presented in NTD which is the Company's functional currency.

  1. Foreign currency transactions and balances

  2. (1) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

  3. (2) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

~226~
  - (3) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.

  - (4) All other foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within "other gains and losses" based on the nature of the transactions.
  1. Translation of foreign operations

    • (1) The operating results and financial position of the Company, subsidiaries, and affiliates that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

      • A. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;

      • B. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and

      • C. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.

    • (2) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Company retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.

  2. (IV) Classification of current and non-current items

  3. The Company engages in commissioned construction of buildings or plants for sale with business cycles which are generally more than 1 year. Assets and liabilities related to the construction business are classified as current or non-current based on the business cycle. The standards for the classification of current and non-current accounts are as follows:

  4. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets:

    • (1) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realized, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;

    • (2) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

    • (3) Assets that are expected to be realized within twelve months from the balance sheet date; or

~227~
  - (4) Cash, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.

  - Assets not meeting the above criteria are classified by the Company as non-current assets.
  1. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities:

    • (1) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;

    • (2) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;

    • (3) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date; or

    • (4) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.

    • Liabilities not meeting the above criteria are classified by the Company as non-current assets.

  2. (V) Cash equivalents

Cash equivalents refer to short-term, highly liquid investments that are readily convertible to known amounts of cash and which are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

(VI) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss

  1. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets that are not measured at amortized cost or fair value through other comprehensive income.

  2. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using transaction date accounting.

  3. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognized at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets are subsequently measured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognized in profit or loss.

  4. The Company recognizes the dividend income in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

(VII) Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income

  1. The Company may make irrevocable election at initial recognition to recognize the changes in fair value in other comprehensive income for the investments in equity instruments that are not held for trading.

  2. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive profit or loss are recognized and derecognized using transaction date

~228~

accounting.

  1. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial assets at fair value plus transaction costs. The Company subsequently measures the financial assets at fair value: The changes in fair value of equity instruments are recognized in other comprehensive income. The cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income shall be recorded to retained earnings and not be reclassified to profit or loss upon the derecognition. The Company recognizes the dividend income in profit or loss only when the right to receive payment is established, it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.

  2. (VIII) Accounts and notes receivable

  3. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Company a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.

  4. The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

  5. (IX) Impairment of financial assets

For debt instruments measured at fair value through other comprehensive income and financial assets at amortized cost at each balance sheet date, the Company recognizes the impairment provision for 12 months expected credit losses if there has not been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition or recognizes the impairment provision for the lifetime expected credit losses (ECLs) if such credit risk has increased since initial recognition after taking into consideration all reasonable and verifiable information (including forecasts). On the other hand, the Company recognizes the impairment provision for lifetime ECLs for accounts receivable or contract assets containing a significant financing component.

  • (X) Derecognition of financial assets

The Company derecognizes a financial asset when the contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.

(XI) Lease transaction as a lessor - rent receivable/operating leases

Lease income from an operating lease (net of any incentives given to the lessee) is recognized in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.

(XII) Inventories

  1. Inventories include construction land, houses and land under construction, and houses and land to be sold which are initially recorded at cost. Construction profit and loss is recognized based on the completed-contract method. Construction land is listed as houses and land under construction when they are under active development. The related interest expenses are capitalized in the period from active development or
~229~

commencement of construction till the completion of construction.

  1. Inventories at the end of the period is measured based on the cost and net realizable value, whichever is lower. The item-by-item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and applicable variable expenses.

  2. (XIII) Investments/subsidiaries and affiliates recognized under the equity method

  3. "Subsidiaries" are all entities controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.

  4. Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealized gains or losses on transactions between the Company and subsidiaries are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

  5. The Company's share of its affiliates' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Company's share of losses of a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in that subsidiary, the Company shall continue to recognize losses based on the shareholding percentage.

  6. Affiliates are all entities over which the Company has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that an investor has significant influence if the investor holds, directly or indirectly, 20% or more of the voting rights of the investee. Investments in affiliates are accounted for through the equity method and are initially recognized at cost.

  7. The Company's share of its affiliates' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognized in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognized in other comprehensive income. When the Company's share of losses in an affiliate equals or exceeds its interest in the affiliate, the Company does not recognize further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the affiliate.

  8. When changes in an affiliate's equity do not arise from profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the affiliate and such changes do not affect the Company's ownership percentage of the affiliate, the Company recognizes change in ownership interests in the affiliate in "capital surplus" in proportion to its ownership.

  9. Unrealized gains on transactions between the Company and its affiliates are eliminated to the extent of the Company's interest in the affiliates. Unrealized losses are also

~230~

eliminated unless evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred in the transaction is provided. Accounting policies of affiliates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Company.

  1. When the Company disposes its investment in an affiliate and loses significant influence over this affiliate, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the affiliate are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the Company directly disposed of relevant assets or liabilities. It means that profit or loss previously recognized in other consolidated profit or loss shall be reclassified as profit or loss when related assets or liabilities are disposed of. When the Company loses material influence over this affiliate, the profit and loss shall be transferred from equity and reclassified as profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this affiliate, the amounts previously recognized in other comprehensive income in relation to the affiliate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.

  2. Pursuant to the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers", the current-period profit and loss and other consolidated profit or loss in the individual financial statements shall be the same as the current profit or loss in the individual financial statements and the amortized amount in the other consolidated profit or loss attributable to owners of parent company. The equity attributable to owners of the Company in the individual financial statements shall be equal to the equity attributable to owners of the parent company in the consolidated financial statements.

(XIV) Joint operations

With regard to equity in joint operations, the Company recognizes the direct rights (and its share) of the assets, liabilities, income, and expenses from joint operations, and has included them in the applicable accounts of the Financial Report.

(XV) Property, plant and equipment

  1. Property and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.

  2. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognized as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognized. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.

  3. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated

~231~

useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost of the item must be depreciated separately.

  1. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, "Accounting policies, changes in accounting estimates and errors", from the date of the change. The estimated useful life of real property is 50 years and the useful life of other assets is 3-5 years.

  2. (XVI) Lease transaction as a lessee - right-of-use assets/lease liabilities

  3. The Company recognizes lease assets as right-of-use assets and lease liabilities at the commencement date of the lease. For short-term leases or leases of low value assets, lease payments are recognized as expenses using the straight-line method during the lease term.

  4. On the commencement date, the Company measures lease liabilities by the present value of outstanding lease payments, using the Company's incremental borrowing rate. Lease payments include

    • (1) Fixed payments less any lease incentives receivable; and

    • (2) Variable lease payments determined by changes in an index or rate.

In subsequent periods, the Company measures lease liabilities at amortized cost using the effective interest method and recognizes interest expense during the lease term. If the lease term or lease payment is changed due to reasons other than amendments to the lease contracts, the Company will remeasure the lease liabilities. The remeasurement amount is then recognized as an adjustment to the right-of-use assets.

Lease liabilities are recognized at cost on the starting date of the lease. The cost includes:

  • (1) the original measurement amount of the lease liabilities;

  • (2) any lease payments made on or before the commencement date;

  • (3) any original direct cost incurred; and

  • (4) Estimated cost for the dismantling and removal of the asset and the restoration of its location, or the estimated cost for the restoration of conditions specified in the lease criteria and conditions.

The right-of-use assets are subsequently measured by adopting the cost model. The Company depreciates the right-of-use assets at the earlier of the right-of-use assets' useful life or the end of lease term. When a lease liability is reassessed, the right-of-use asset is adjusted for any remeasurements of the lease liability.

(XVII) Investment properties

An investment property is measured initially at its cost and subsequently measured under

~232~

the cost approach. Except for land, the depreciation is recognized on a straight-line basis over a useful life of 30 to 60 years.

(XVIII) Intangible assets

Intangible assets include computer software which is recognized at acquisition cost and amortized on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 years.

  • (XIX) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there are any impairment indications. An impairment loss is recognized for the amount by which the asset's carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset's fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortized historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognized.

  • (XX) Borrowings

Borrowings are recognized initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortized cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognized in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.

  • (XXI) Accounts and notes payable

  • Accounts payable are the liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods, or services, and notes payable generated from operations and those not generated from operations.

  • The short-term accounts and notes payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(XXII) Financial guarantee contracts

  • Financial guarantee contracts are contracts for which the Company must pay specific benefits to reimburse the holder of debt instruments for losses incurred when a specific debtor is unable to repay its debts upon maturity in accordance with the terms of the original or modified debt instrument. At initial recognition, the Company measures the financial guarantee contracts at fair value. The Company subsequently measures them based on the impairment provision for the expected credit losses and recognized cumulative earnings, whichever is higher.

  • (XXIII) Employee benefits

  • Short-term employee benefits

~233~

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for that service, and shall be recognized as expenses when the employees have rendered service.

  1. Pension

  2. (1) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions shall be recognized as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions shall be recognized that excess as an asset to the extent that the prepayment will lead to a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  - (2) Defined benefit plans

     - A. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is accrued from the present value of future benefits that employees have earned in return for their services in the current or prior periods. The Company recognized the present value of the defined benefit obligation deducting the fair value of plan assets at the balance sheet date. Net obligation of the defined benefit is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method and is discounted by using the market yield on government bonds (at the balance sheet date) of the same currency in the same the period on the balance sheet date and calculations of defined benefit obligations.

     - B. Remeasurements arising on defined benefit plans are recognized in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.

     - C. Expenses associated with past service costs are recognized immediately in profit or loss.
  1. Employees’ remuneration and directors' remuneration

    • Employees’ remuneration and directors’ remuneration are recognized as expense and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employees' remuneration is distributed by shares, the Company calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the Board of Directors' resolution.
  2. (XXIV) Income tax

  3. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognized in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognized in other comprehensive income or items recognized directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognized in other comprehensive income or equity.

~234~
  1. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted as of the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company operates and generates taxable income. The income tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense for the year after the shareholders' meeting passes the earnings distribution proposal in the following year.

  2. Deferred income tax is recognized, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the individual balance sheet. The deferred income tax is not accounted if it arises from initial recognition of an asset or liability in a transaction (excluding business mergers) that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries and affiliates, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realized or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

  3. Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilized. At each balance sheet date, unrecognized and recognized deferred income tax assets are reassessed.

  4. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously. Deferred income tax assets and liabilities are offset on the balance sheet when the entity has the legally enforceable right to offset current tax assets against current tax liabilities and they are levied by the same taxation authority on either the same entity or different entities that intend to settle on a net basis or realize the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

  5. (XXV) Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the Company's financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Company's shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities.

(XXVI) Revenue recognition

Land development and real property sales

~235~
  1. The Company operates land development and real property sales. Revenue is recognized when the control of the real property is transferred to customers. For contracts for the sale of residential properties, the real property has no other use to the Company due to contract restrictions. However, the Company has an enforceable right to the contract payments only when the legal title or use of the real estate is transferred to the customer. Therefore, revenue is recognized when the legal title or use is transferred to the customer.

  2. The Company has included customers' advance payments in the contracts for pre-sales houses, and the period between the advanced payment and the transfer of the control of the product is longer than one year. According to IFRS 15, if the Company determines that there are material financial compositions in the individual contracts for pre-sales houses, it is required to adjust the pledged consideration and recognize interest expenses. IFRS 15 also states that companies should consider the materiality of financial components only at the level of the contract and not at the level of the portfolio when determining whether a financial loan is material.

V. Significant accounting judgments, estimates and main uncertainty assumptions

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgments in applying the Company's accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Refer to the explanation on significant accounting judgments, estimates, and uncertainty assumptions below. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year,

(I) Critical judgments in applying accounting policies

None

(II) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

. Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realizable value, the Company must determine the net realizable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgments and estimates. The management of the Company mainly uses past experience and estimates of future market sales value as the basis for estimation. Therefore, there may be significant changes.

The Company's inventory information as of December 31, 2020 is detailed in Note 6 (5)

(XII) Pension

  1. The Company has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the "Labor Standards Act", covering all regular employees' service years prior to the enforcement of the "Labor Pension Act" on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue the pension mechanism under the "Labor Standards Act" after the enforcement of the "Labor Pension Act". Under the defined benefit pension plan, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The company contributes monthly an amount equal to 2% of the employees' monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent Supervisory Committee of Labor Retirement Reserve Fund (the "Fund"). Before the end of each year, the Company assesses the balance in the aforementioned Fund. If the balance in the Fund is inadequate to pay the retirement benefits of employees who are eligible for retirement in the following year by the aforementioned method, the Company is required to fund the deficit in one appropriation before the end of next March. The Company has settled accounts for the service years of employees under the old system, applied for the refund of the balance of the employee pension reserve fund, and closed the dedicated account on April 15, 2020.

(3) The assets of the Company's defined benefit pension plan are entrusted to the Bank of Taiwan in accordance with Article 6 of the Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilization of the Labor Retirement Fund (i.e., deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement equity securities, and investment in domestic or foreign real estate and its securitization products) within the proportion

~247~

and amount of the entrusted items set forth in the annual investment and utilization plan of the fund. The use of assets is supervised by the Labor Pension Fund Supervisory Committee. For the use of the fund, the minimum annual earnings to be distributed in the final accounts shall not be lower than the earnings calculated based on the interest rate of two-year time deposits in a local bank. Any shortfall shall be made up by the National Treasury with the approval of the competent authority. As the Company had no rights to participate in the operations and management of the Fund, the Company is unable to disclose the classification of the fair value of plan assets in accordance with Paragraph 142 of IAS 19. Please refer to the Labor Pension Fund Utilization Report published by the government for each year for the fair value of the total assets of the fund as of December 31, 2019.

  • (4) The actuarial assumptions related to pensions are summarized as follows:
Discount rate
Future salary increase rate
2019
0.65%
2.00%

The assumptions for future mortality are based on statistics published by each country and past data.

The present value of defined benefit obligations affected by the adoption of key actuarial assumptions is analyzed as follows:

The aforementioned sensitivity analysis is an analysis of the effect of a change in a single assumption while other assumptions remain unchanged. In actual practice, many changes in assumptions may be linked. The sensitivity analysis is consistent with the methodology used for calculating the net pension liabilities on the balance sheet.

  • (5) The Company's expected contribution to the pension plan in 2021 is $0.

  • Effective July 1, 2005, the Company has established a defined contribution pension plan (New Plan) under the Labor Pension Act, covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, the Company contributes monthly an amount based on

~248~

6% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance for employees who opt for the pension system in the "Labor Pension Act". The contribution plan accrues dividends from an employee’s individual account and is paid monthly or in lump sum upon retirement of an employee. The pension costs recognized by the Company in accordance with the above pension plan were $3,069 and $3,032 in 2020 and 2019.

According to the Company Act, capital surplus can only be used to offset losses. However, capital surplus arising from shares issued at premium (including the issuance of common shares at premium, capital stock premiums as a result of stock issuance due to a merger, and treasury stock transactions) and donations received may be used, in part or in whole, for the distribution of new shares or cash based on the shareholders' original shareholding ratio in accordance with a resolution of the shareholders' meeting when the Company does not have deficits. The Company may use capital surplus to offset losses only when the legal reserve cannot fully cover capital losses. The capital surplus recognized as long-term equity

~249~

investments under the equity method cannot not be used for any purpose.

  • (XV) Retained earnings

  • According to the earnings distribution policy in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, in the event of surplus earnings after closing of annual accounts, due taxes shall be paid in accordance with the law, and losses incurred in previous years shall be compensated. Upon completion of the preceding actions, 10% of the remainder surplus shall be allocated as legal reserve. However, in the event that the accumulated legal reserve is equivalent to or exceeds the Company's total paid-in capital, such allocation may be exempted. In addition, the Board of Directors may, after allocating or reversing special reserve pursuant to the laws or regulations of the competent authority, retain parts of the earnings and prepare an earnings distribution proposal along with undistributed earnings at the beginning of the period. Where the Company intends to distribute earnings by issuing new shares, it shall file a proposal to the shareholders' meeting and obtain approval in a resolution before the distribution. Where dividends are distributed in cash, the Board of Directors shall be authorized to determine such distribution by a resolution adopted by a majority vote at a meeting attended by over two thirds of the Directors and it shall be reported at the shareholders' meeting.

  • The shareholders' meeting approved the amendment of the Articles of Incorporation in a resolution on June 10, 2020. According to the Company's earnings distribution policy in the Articles of Incorporation, the Company may proceed with the distribution of earnings of making up for losses at the end of each quarter in accordance with the Company Act. Before distributing earnings, the Company shall estimate and retain payable taxes, make up for losses, and allocate funds to legal reserve. However, the allocation of legal reserve does not apply when the Company's legal surplus reserve has reached its paid-in capital. Where the earnings are distributed in cash, they shall be processed in accordance with a resolution of the meeting of the Board of Directors and reported in the shareholders' meeting. Where the Company intends to distribute dividends by issuing new shares, it shall be processed in accordance with Article 240 of the Company Act based on a resolution of the shareholders' meeting.

  • The legal reserve may only be used for offsetting deficits and the distribution of new shares or cash based on the shareholders' original shareholding ratio. However, when new shares or cash dividends are distributed, the distribution shall be restricted to the legal reserve in excess of 25% of the paid-in capital.

  • When the Company distributes earnings, it shall first appropriate funds for the special reserve from the balance of other equities of borrowers as of the balance sheet date of the current year in accordance with laws and regulations. Once the balance of other equities of borrowers has been reversed, the reversed amount may be calculated as distributable earnings.

  • The Company's dividend policy is set up in accordance with the Company Act and the Articles of Incorporation and determined by the Company's financial structure, earnings, and long-term business plans to meet the development and transformation needs. The ratio of stock dividends to cash dividends shall be determined each year based on the requirements for working capital, provided that the cash dividends shall not be less than 20%. When the paid-in capital has reached NT$10 billion, the cash dividends shall not be less than 50%.

  • The appropriations of 2019 and 2018 earnings were approved by the shareholders’ meeting on June 10, 2020 and June 18, 2019, respectively. Details are summarized as follows:

2. Risk management policy

The objective of the Company's financial risk management is to manage the market risks, credit risks, and liquidity risks related to operating activities. The Company conducts the identification, valuation, and management of the aforementioned risks based on its policies and risk preferences.

The Company has set up appropriate policies, procedures, and internal control for the aforementioned financial risk management based on relevant standards. Significant financing activities must be reviewed by the Board of Directors in accordance with relevant standards and the internal control system. During implementations of financial management activities, the Company shall strictly abide by the regulations established for financial risk management.

~266~

3. Significant financial risks and degree of financial risks

  • (1) Market risks

Foreign exchange risks

The Company's main operating activities are in Taiwan and the main currency is the NTD. The impact of exchange rate fluctuations is minimal and we therefore expect no significant exchange rate risks.

Price risks

  • A. The Company's equity instruments exposed to price risks are financial assets at fair value through profit or loss and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. To manage the price risks of investments in equity instruments, the Company diversifies its investment portfolio in accordance with the limits set by the Company.

  • B. The Company's main investments consist of equity instruments issued by domestic companies and open-ended funds. The prices of such equity instruments are affected by the uncertainty of the future value of underlying investments. If the price of such equity instruments rises or falls by 1% and all other factors remain constant, the net profit after tax as a result of the profit or loss in the equity tools measured at fair value in 2020 and 2019 will increase or decrease by $206 and $251, respectively. The gain or loss on equity investments classified as equity instruments in other comprehensive income measured at fair value through profit and loss will increase or decrease by $3,785 and $914, respectively.

Interest rate risk for cash flow and fair value

  • A. The Company's interest rate risks mainly arise from short-term borrowings and short-term notes and bills payable. Borrowings at floating rates expose the Company to cash flow interest rate risks, which are partially offset by cash held at floating rates. Borrowings at fixed rates expose the Company to fair value interest rate risks. In 2020 and 2019, the Company's loans calculated based on floating interest rates were calculated in NTD.

  • B. The Company simulates various plans and analyzes interest rate risks, including considering plans for refinancing or renewal of existing positions and other available financing plans to calculate the impact of specific changes interest rates on profit or loss.

  • C. If all other factors remain constant, the maximum impact of a 1% change in interest rates on financial costs in 2020 and 2019 would result in an increase or decrease of $45,127 and $73,598, respectively.

  • (2) Credit risks

  • A. The Company's credit risks refer to the risks of financial loss to the Company arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments. The risks are mainly derived from the counterparty's failure to settle the accounts receivable based on payment collection terms.

  • B. The Company establishes credit risk management from the perspective of the Company. The Company has set a minimum independent credit rating of "A" for banks and financial institutions before they can be accepted as transaction counterparties.

  • C. The Company's main business activities are the lease and sales of residential buildings, industrial plants, and commercial buildings. Revenue from the sale of

~267~

properties is recognized upon the full payment of the contract price, the completion of the transfer of ownership, and the actual delivery of the properties. Therefore, the amount of accounts receivable arising from the sale of properties is considered insignificant and the possibility of non-recovery is low. The Company manages receivables in special transactions on an individual basis and tracks such receivables on a regular basis. The amount of the Company's assessed credit impairment losses as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 was insignificant.

  • D. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, there were no debts with recourse that were written off.

  • (3) Liquidity risks

  • A. Cash flow forecasting is performed by each Company department and aggregated by the Company treasury. The Company's Finance Department monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities.

  • B. The Company's non-derivative financial liabilities are grouped in the table below based on the maturity date and analyzed based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amount of undiscounted contract cash flows of notes payable and other payables is approximately equal to their carrying amounts and is due within one year. The amount of undiscounted contractual cash flows for other financial liabilities is described in the following table:

(III) Fair value information

  1. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

  2. Level 1: Quotation (unadjusted) of the same asset or liability from an active market can be obtained on the measurement date. An active market refers to a market in which transactions in assets or liabilities occur with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on a continuous basis.

  3. Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.

  4. Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

  5. Please refer to Note 6 (9) for information on the fair value of investment properties carried at cost.

  6. The carrying amount of financial instruments not carried at fair value, including cash and cash equivalents, notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, other financial assets - current, refundable deposits, short-term borrowings, short-term notes payable, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, and deposit received, are reasonable approximations of the fair value.

  7. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities are as follows:

  8. (1) The information on the Company's classification of assets by nature is as follows:

  • (2) The methods and assumptions that the Company used to measure the fair value are as follows:

  • A. The instruments for which the Company used market quoted prices as their fair values (i.e., Level 1) are divided by the characteristics of the instruments as follows:

Market quoted price

Listed stocks Open-end funds Closing price Net worth

  • B. Except for the financial instruments with active markets, the fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes.

  • There was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 in the Company in 2020 and 2019.

  • The Level-3 movements for 2020 and 2019 were as follows:

  1. An independent appraiser appointed by the Company is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorized within Level 3. The appraiser submits a valuation report for the Finance Department to perform the fair value verification of financial instruments to ensure that the source of data is independent, reliable, and represented as the exercisable price.

liabilities, or shareholders' equity during the past two fiscal years (changes that exceed 20% between
periods and a value of NT$10 million) and future response plans.
I.
Main reasons and impact of any material changes:
(1) Increase in non-current financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income:

(3) Decrease in right-of-use assets: Mainly due to the depreciation of office lease and land use rights
for the respective period in 2020.
(4) Decrease in non-current liabilities: Mainly due to the payment of rent for the office and offset of
lease liabilities in 2020.
(5) Decrease in share capital: Due to the capital reduction by cash and return of paid-in capital in
2020.
(6) Increase in retained earnings: Mainly due to the net income after taxes of NT$4,943,139 thousand
and distribution of cash dividends of NT$1,149,361 thousand in 2020.
(7) Increase in other equity adjustment items: Mainly due to the adjustment in the appraisal of
financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income in 2020.

The main reasons and impact of changes that exceed 20% between periods and a value of
NT$10 million are analyzed as follows:
(1) Increase in operating revenue, operating costs, and gross profit:
In 2020, the Company recognized income totaling NT$14,277,915 thousand
from the sale of valuable land in the "Greater Nangang" project, the completion and
transfer of "South Manor", and the sales of remaining units of "Kuo Yan", "The Green
Place", "Zhongxiao Courtyard", and "Smile Era" by the subsidiary Shen Yang.
In 2019, the Company recognized income totaling NT$1,923,024 thousand from
the completion and transfer of "Zhongxiao Courtyard", the sales of remaining units of
"Kuo Yan" and "The Green Place", and income from the transfer of "Smile Era" by the
subsidiary Shen Yang.
As the operating revenue in 2020 increased from the same period in the previous
year, the operating costs and gross profit also increased.
(2) Increase in operating expenses: Mainly due to increased operating revenue in 2020
which led to an increase in sales commissions and advertisement fees.
(3) Increase in non-operating income and expenses: The increase consisted mainly of the
recognition of dividend income, interest income calculated based on funds from
partners of the Greater Nangang joint land development project, investment gains
from affiliates accounted for using equity method, and gains on disposal of
investments of the subsidiary Shen Yang Construction in 2020.
(4) Increase in income tax expenses: The increase is mainly due to the increase in net
profit before tax in 2020 compared to the same period in the previous year.
(5) Increase in other comprehensive income (net): Mainly due to the adjustment in the
appraisal of financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income in 2020.
~294~
-
  • (II) Expected sales and its basis, and the possible impact on the Company's future financial operations and response plans:

The Company estimated the revenue and profitability targets for 2021 based on the development schedule, sales, project progress, and operation assumptions for the current projects of the companies of the Group. Based on the estimates, the revenue from the construction of The Green Place, Kuo Yang Silicon Valley, Good morning, Kuo Yang, Kuo Yan, and Smile Era will be the main source of revenue in 2021.

  • VI. Risk matters required for analysis in the most recent year and up to the publication date of the Annual Report:

  • (I) Impact of changes in interest rate, exchange rate, and inflation on the Company's profits and losses and future response measures:

    1. Impact of changes in interest rate on the Company's profits and losses and future response measures:
ture response measures: ture response measures: ture response measures:
Unit: NT$1,000
Item/Year 2020 2019
Short-term borrowings 5,402,212 8,376,111
Interest expenses(1) 70,441 96,704
Net operating profit(2) 5,003,829 126,498
Percentage(1)/(2) 1.41% 76.45%

Source: Consolidated financial report audited and certified by the CPA

The Company's main source of the net operating profit in 2020 was the sales of land of the Greater Nangang Project. As the land was acquired at an earlier date, the gross profit margin was higher than that of regular sales and the net operating profit was also higher. Therefore, the interest expenses only amounted to 1.41% of the net operating profit.

The main source of the net operating profit in 2019 was the revenue recognized for the sales of remaining units and transfer of completed construction projects. Interest expenses accounted for 76.45% of the net operating profit.

Overall, the Company's interest expenses account for more than 50% of the net operating profit. The Company shall pay close attention to changes in interest rates, maintain close communication with banks, and use financing tools available in the capital market to reduce the cost of funding and reliance on banks.

  1. Impact of changes in exchange rate on the Company's profits and losses and future response measures:

  2. The Company's main functional currency is the NTD. The impact of

  3. exchange rate fluctuations is minimal and we therefore expect no significant exchange rate risks.

  4. Impact of inflation on the Company's profits and losses and future response measures:

According to the statistics of the Directorate-General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics of the Executive Yuan, the annual growth rate of the Consumer Price Index remained stable in 2020. As Taiwan's government closely monitors changes in consumer prices and implements response policies, and the real estate market has a relatively high resistance to inflation, there has been no significant impact of inflation.

  • (II) Policies of engaging in high-risk, high-leverage investments, loans to others, providing endorsements/guarantees and derivatives transactions, main reasons for the profits and losses generated thereby and future response measures:

  • Policies of engaging in high-risk and high-leverage investments, main reasons for the profits and losses generated thereby and future response measures:

    • The Company focuses on its core businesses and does not engage in any

    • high-risk or high-leverage investments.

  • Policies of engaging in loans to others, providing endorsements/guarantees and derivatives transactions, main reasons for the profits and losses generated thereby and future response measures:

The Company does not engage in derivatives transactions and all loans to others, endorsements, and guarantees are implemented in accordance with the Company's "Procedures for Extending Loans to Others" and "Procedures for Endorsements and Guarantees".

(III)Future R&D projects and estimated R&D expenditures:

The Company engages in the construction of real estate businesses and currently does not have individual R&D departments or R&D expenditures (expenditures are listed under the development departments and construction departments).

  • (IV) Impact of changes in important domestic and foreign policies and regulations on the Company's finance and business, and response measures:

The Company closely monitors domestic and international political and economic developments as well as changes in regulations, and maintains adequate response capabilities. As of the most recent year and the publication date of the 2020 Annual Report for the shareholders' meeting, domestic and foreign policies and regulations have had no significant impact on Company's finance and business.

  • (V) Impact of recent technological and market changes on the Company's finance and business, and response measures:

The Company specializes in construction and there has been no major changes in construction technologies in recent years. In terms of the industry, as the construction industry is more exposed to fluctuations in the economy, the Company will seek diverse development for its future construction projects. For instance, the Company shall take part in urban renewal projects, land replotting, joint construction for separate sales or joint construction for separate use, and incentive construction projects for public housing to increase the Company's competitiveness and profitability.

-
  • (VI) Impact of changes in corporate image on corporate risk management and response measures:

Integrity is critical for maintaining the corporate image. Although the Company previously suffered a financial crisis which damaged its image, the Company upheld the basic principles of integrity and implemented improvements which have significantly improved its image. The Company received the Golden Stone Award and First Prize in the Excellent Brand Company Category, and Kuo Yang Tianmu renewal project received the Taiwan Real Estate Excellence Awards. The achievements have been remarkable.

The Company actively sells remaining units and launches construction projects in popular areas. We will continue to focus on our main business to protect the rights and interests of shareholders.

  • (VII) Expected benefits and possible risks of mergers and acquisitions and response measures: Not applicable

  • (VIII) Expected benefits and potential risks of capacity expansion and response measures: Not applicable

  • (IX) Risks associated with over-concentration in purchase or sale and response measures:

  • Procurements

The Company's main procurements consist of the acquisition of land for construction and subcontracting of construction. The acquisition of land for construction is based on the Company's project launch strategy and we select land with development value. As for subcontracting, the Company carefully selects and evaluates contractors and all major construction projects are given to construction companies with Grade A Construction Engineering License with whom we have long-term partnerships. Therefore, the Company does not face risks in concentrated procurements.

  1. Sales

Customers who buy houses from the Company are general consumers. The Company therefore does not face risks in concentrated sales.

  • (X) Impacts and risks arising from major exchange or transfer of shares by directors or shareholders with over 10% of shares in the Company: Not applicable

  • (XI) Impacts and risks arising from changes in management rights of the Company and response measures: There has been no change in management rights of the Company.

~301~
-

(XII)Litigation or non-litigation events: None

(XIII) Other significant risks and response measures:

Information security risk analysis:

The current information security strategy focuses on reducing the exposure of critical data in a high-risk environment such as the Company's official website. Therefore, critical data are separated from the Company's system and we rent bandwidth and space for storage from external sources.

Other critical data can only be access through the local network. Branch offices or construction sites can only access the data via VPN, and employees of the Company must adhere to rigorous password regulations for logging into the system.

The Company focuses on five main items for the information risk assessment:

  1. Anti-virus: Employees must install anti-virus software and use legal software to avoid creating vulnerabilities.

  2. Anti-hacking: The Company allocates firewall and anti-virus software maintenance budgets every year to ensure coverage provided in the latest updates.

  3. Network security: The system can only be operated in LAN, and a VPN connection is required for connections from external sources. If an employee enters the wrong login password 3 times, the account will be locked for 20 minutes.

  4. File security: Implement joint file access control and create differential backups at all times to save and recover data deleted within a specific period of time.

  5. Prevention of unlawful activities: Prevent employees from using illegal software and deliberate leaks of important data in computers by requiring them to sign software usage and confidentiality agreements.

VII. Other important matters:

  • (I) The Company signed a joint investment and development contract with Wei Li International Development Co., Ltd., Chuwa Wool Industry Co., (Taiwan) Ltd., Hanshin Asset Management Co., Ltd., Li Yang Agricultural Technology Co., Ltd., and Grand Hi-Lai Hotel Co., Ltd. for 4 plots of land including plot 83-1 on Jiuzhong Section, Neihu District, Taipei City with a total area of 2,127.33 pings on November 23, 2020.
