A.Letter to Shareholders
Dear Shareholders, Greetings.
Affected by inflation and the interest rate hikes in the global market in 2022, the stocks of all industry chains continued to correct and the economy became increasingly conservative and the monetary policy turned toward tightening, while central banks implemented more and more credit control policies. Tensions flared between the Taiwan Strait, and the approval of the amendments to the Equalization of Land Rights Act also contributed toward the decreased sales volume in the real estate market this year. Nevertheless, prices remained stable.
From a demand perspective, the prosperity of e-commerce in recent years prompted life insurance companies and retail and wholesale businesses to continue to invest in warehousing and logistics trading or leasing. In addition, companies experiencing operating growth (e.g., companies in semiconductor, electric vehicle, IoT, AI automated equipment, and new energy industries) have accelerated their plant expansions due to the continued growth momentum in these industries, thereby leading to strong demand for plants and offices and creating strong transaction volume in these products. Kuo Yang Construction has been actively purchasing land in industrial zones since 2020. Currently, we have the "Intercontinental Corporate Head Office" in Neihu which has begun construction, the "Kuo Yang Digital Technology Building" in Sanchong which is about to commence construction, and the "Xiwan Road Project" in Xizhi, "Zhongyi Project" in Tucheng, and "Zhonghe Project", which are all being planned. Our land inventory has cumulatively reached 16,000 pings, and we are about to launch highly appealing office building projects to build one-of-a-kind architectures that will bring even more profits to Kuo Yang.
On top of planning our industrial projects, we also continue to support the government's urban renewal and reconstruction of urban unsafe and old buildings. Besides the Kuo Yang Jilin Project - an urban renewal project already being developed, and the "Kaohsiung Special Trade Zone 3 (South base - north side)" urban renewal project and Xindian Baoyuan Project which have been planned, we are also working on multiple other urban renewal projects. We aspire to collaborate with land owners to achieve our missions to boost local industry developments, enhance urban functions, improve the quality of life, and beautify the urban landscape. Our goal is to become the best promoter of urban renewal.
To support the government's Net-zero Emissions 2050 (carbon neutrality) goal, Kuo Yang Construction has infused "sustainability" into the key strategies for our business development. We emphasize coexistence with the environment - ecology, health, energy conservation, waste reduction, and focus on creating green buildings, smart buildings, and "Wellness buildings". By implementing the concept of sustainability from our architectural planning, we can jointly work toward the vision of building sustainable cities and buildings of happiness.

-
B. South:

-
In terms of land development:
-
(1) Confronted with factors unfavorable to the developing of the housing market, including changes in the economy, the government's "Healthy Housing Market" policy, interest hikes, the Central Bank's credit control policy, the passing of the third reading of "The Equalization of Land Rights Act", in terms of land developments going forward, the residential projects will be mostly focused on urban renewals and joint development projects.
-
(2) In response to the return of Taiwanese businesses and the global development of the supply chain, we actively developed factory and office land in industrial zones to satisfy market demand, create niche products, disperse the risk of product concentrations, and strengthen the Company's profitability.
-
(3) We engaged in the government's recruitment projects in the wealthiest districts, developed urban renewal projects adjacent to public transportations, and actively participated in the government's goal in urban renewal and the reconstruction of urban unsafe and old building.
-
(4) In addition to the joint construction in urban renewal projects and land development in industrial zones, we also activated existing assets by collaborating in urban renewal projects with our partners. For instance, The idle land on Minquan East Road and Jingmei District and more.

3. Building planning and design:
We adhered to the government's net-zero emissions by 2050 goal by upholding a philosophy of sustainable management. We integrated local environmental factors in planning and design, and accounted for factors including ventilation, energy conservation, water resources, green environment, and used powerefficient equipment along with smart sensor controls in order to build a more comfortable and sustainable living space. By striving to construct green buildings under the Kuo Yang brand, we also strengthen our brand awareness.
4. Engineering cost, progress, and quality:
-
(1) Building information management system has been deployed to make construction management more robust.
-
(2) We also actively researched and developed new construction methods including creating a more industrial interior space and using porcelain slabs in the stairwells. Besides reducing the engineering time, it also helps to reduce dust and waste.
5. Brand building and customer service:
-
(1) Provide construction progress report to purchasing customers - Transparency in the construction progress and architectural method allows customers to understand engineering progress from the comfort of their homes, thereby recognizing Kuo Yang's thoughtfulness in construction.
-
(2) Lifetime property health inspection - A professional management team is dedicated to caring for customers who purchased Kuo Yang projects.
-
(3) Overall development of the community - Building community cohesion through community.
-
(4) Deploying digital transformation - Establishing Home Go app, a community management platform to allow for instant communications and timely service.
6. Market research and development:
In the midst of a global economic slump and high inflation, Taiwan's Central Bank has cumulatively increased interest rates by 0.625% and implemented a number of credit control measures on the housing market. Moreover, the passing of the amendments to the Equalization of Land Rights Act has also made the residential housing market more conservative and speculative. The outlook of the overall real estate market will be bearish.
To summarize, Kuo Yang is opting for a diverse arrangement in land development, and except for industrial land at specific areas, we have turned to urban renewal or joint construction projects in terms of residential buildings. In addition, we are also focusing on the planning, construction method, and material use in individual construction projects to reduce waste generated during the construction process and increase circular recycling, thereby constructing (nearly) carbon neutral buildings that are more environmentally friendly. We also hope to maintain the Company's operating performance and to building a quality brand image by providing precise product positioning and well-rounded service quality.

III.Future development strategy
-

We shall 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, we also hope to build great houses for residents to start families and expand influence to create a healthy ecosystem and safe life experience for the public and bring more forms of happiness to the Taiwanese people. We also leveraged our 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. We seek to become a "comprehensive developer".
IV. Impact of the external competitive environment, regulatory environment, and overall business environment
~~.~~
-
(I) Favorable factors:
-
The reorganization of the global supply chain will increase the number of commercial real estate transactions of tech companies in Taiwan.
- The market benefits from the return of Taiwanese businesses, the financing
5
provided by major electronics manufacturers, and the increase in companies' demand of high-tech services and products have increased the demand of the tech industry for acquiring commercial real estate. Industrial zones and technology and science parks, with their comprehensive infrastructures, remain popular market choices. Real estate acquisition by tech companies in Asia Pacific increased from US$2 billion in 2016 to US$9.7 billion in 2020. The companies invested a total of US$34.5 billion in 5 years. Taiwan became the third most popular target of investment after Mainland China and South Korea, which also increased the demand for commercial office and industrial real estate in Taiwan. In terms of industrial property, besides continuing the market conditions from the US-China trade war, which prompted the continuous restructuring in the industry chain and for Taiwanese companies to relocate back to Taiwan, the recent interest rate hikes have also increased the cost of leases for enterprises, making property acquisition a more viable choice.
Household home purchases continue to increase in the six metropolitan areas
The Central Bank began implementing interest rate hikes since last March, and the approval of the third reading of the amendments to the Equalization of Land Rights Act led to a sharp decline in Taoyuan City and Taichung City, where the new property market was blooming. While buyers remained hopeful that property prices would decline, sellers remained hard-set on prices. The large pricing differences in the mindsets of the buyers and the sellers led to a stagnant market. Demand throughout the six major metropolitan areas remained low in Q1 2023.
The household home purchase ratio in Taipei City was 0.54% in Q1 of this year, hitting a five-year-low. The ratio of household home purchase ratio in New Taipei City dropped to 0.76% in the first quarter this year, a decrease of 0.3% compared to 2022. The household home purchase ratio in Taoyuan City in Q1 of this year was 0.93%, down approximately 0.4% from the same period in the previous year and represented the largest decline among the six major metropolitan areas. The household purchase ratio in Taichung City was 0.96%. Though this was the highest throughout the six major metropolitan areas, it does indicate a 0.29% decrease from last year. Moreover, as the buzz surrounding semiconductors resided in Tainan City and Kaohsiung City, their household purchase ratio this year was only 0.7%, having both dropped 0.2% from the same
6
period last year.
-
Record-high rent for commercial and office buildings in Taipei Although the pandemic has, to a certain extent, postponed companies' decisions on relocation from leased properties since 2020, many office buildings in Taipei City have undergone reconstruction projects for dangerous and old buildings. The demolition of old buildings has also tightened the supply of available office area. Despite the completion of new commercial office buildings, most of them are used by the owners and the actual supply is limited. As a result, the rent for benchmark office buildings with optimal location and building conditions has continued to rise. According to the real-price registered rent disclosure, total rent of one unit in the Walsin Lihwa Building (Citibank Tower) in January this year reached approximately NT$420,000, equivalent to NT$3,837 per ping, which is a record high for the building. For Taipei 101, the rent has increased from less than NT$3,000 per ping in 2013 to more than NT$4,000 in 2020 based on 10 real-price registered rent transactions. From the current monthly rent of grade-A office buildings in Taipei City, the rent is at least NT$3,500 to NT$4,000 per ping. It is estimated that there will be a fresh batch of supply available in the market after 2023. Besides alleviating the tight market supply, it will also help to form local commercial clusters in areas including Nangang, Neihu, BeitouShilin Technology Park, Xinzhuang, and Banqiao and more.
-
(II) Unfavorable factors:
-
Effects of global interest rate hikes and inflation
As of March 2023, the Central Bank has increased the base interest rates for five times since March 2022. The cumulative interest rate hike has been 0.75%. The increased burden on mortgagors has translated to a significant drop in the number of transactions in the housing market. The continuing interest rate hikes this year will lead to a pre-2008 interest rate standard, leading buyers to become even more speculative or hopeful of price decreases. Nevertheless, inflation and the rise of commodity prices have kept new property prices at high levels. Alternatively, except for those under financial pressures, sellers of existing homes are also speculative or reluctant to sell. The lack of room for price cuts has kept down both prices and transaction volume in the property market.
- Geopolitical risks
The geopolitical risks from the continuing US-China conflicts are continuing to
7
rise. From Taiwan, Japan, the Korean Peninsula, and even the entire Asia-Pacific will be difficult to walk away from the major impacts associated with these conflicts. Tensions continue to grow across the Taiwan Strait. Besides financial market performance, actual investments from foreign and domestic enterprises have also been affected.
-
Slow growth in the number of units transferred in sales
-
According to the latest data on building units transferred in sales in Taiwan in Q1 2023 as announced by the Ministry of the Interior, the cumulative number of units transferred in sales in February 2023 throughout the six major metropolitan areas was 18,817. The cumulative transaction volume from the first two months of 2023 was 28,430 units, down 28.3% from the same period last year and hitting an all-time low since 2017.
-
Executive Yuan decides on the amendment of the "Equalization of Land Rights Act"
-
The Executive Yuan passed the draft amendment to the "Equalization of Land Rights Act" 2022 december to deter speculation in real estate. The amendment restricts the contract replacement and transfer of pre-sale and resale of newlybuilt houses in principle and requires permissions for private legal entities to purchase houses. The administrative penalty for speculation has been increased significantly from the maximum amount of NT$5 million to NT$50 million. It also established a reward system for non-compliance reporting to increase the effectiveness of audits and deter real estate speculation in order to maintain order in market transaction and protect consumer rights and interests.
-
1.1. The draft amendment provides a clear definition of speculative behavior. Any person who spreads false information to influence the transaction price, creates the illusion of rapid sales by conspiring to make false transactions, uses illegal sales to influence the order of market transactions or monopolizes resales for profit, or takes other manipulative actions to influence the price or order of real estate transactions to engage in speculation is subject to a fine of NT$1 million to NT$50 million based on the number of transactions (units or transactions). Those who fail to rectify the errors within the prescribed deadline may be subject to consecutive penalties.
-
1.2. The buyer of a pre-sale house or a newly-built house cannot be

1.3. The amendment creates a permission-based system for private entities to purchase house for residential use, and prohibits the transfer, assignment, or pre-registration of such properties within 5 years.
The Company has proposed several response measures for the recent fluctuations in the supply of raw materials across the world, increase in inflation, interest hike cycles, real estate transaction prices, and amendments of real estate 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".
I wish to thank you for your support and guidance. I wish you health and prosperity

(1) Overall political and economic environment: Global economic and financial growth in 2023 has slowed in comparison with the growth in 2022
When observing the economic conditions at home and abroad in recent years, the global economic performance in 2022 was not ideal due to the effects of factors including the coronavirus, Russo-Ukrainian War, high inflation, and climate change. Most countries have implemented monetary tightening policies to control inflation, and the global economic forecast is not overly optimistic due to negative impacts such as the rising inflation, the tightening policies, and financial pressures.
In terms of Taiwan, though exports have been severely affected by the weakening global demand, while enterprises' capital investments have also turned conservative due to the weak global economy and rising interest rates, leading to significantly weaker private investment growth; fortunately, the government's infrastructure budget has reached an all-time high. In addition, private consumption continues to be strong, and thanks to the continuing easing of epidemic control measures, and the opening of border control, the overseas spending from the Taiwanese public is
113
expected to largely increase. The public and the government are working together to maintain Taiwan's economic performance in 2023. It is expected that Taiwan's economic growth rate may be slightly reduced to 2.12% in 2023. (Source: Taiwan Institute of Economic Research).
- (2) Number of units transferred in sales: A Dramatic Change to the Housing Market! The number of property transfers in six major metropolis reached more than 243,000 units in 2022, reaching a three-year low
According to the Land Administration Bureaus of the six major metropolitan areas in Taiwan, the number of units transferred in sales in December 2022 totaled 20,754 units, showing a year on year decrease of 25.1%, and month on month increase of 11.8%. Moreover, the cumulative number of units transferred in sales throughout the six major metropolitan areas in 2022 was 243,910 units, showing a year on year decrease of 8.9%, reaching a 3-year low. Furthermore, this is the first time that the transaction volume has dipped in the most recent 6 years, showing that the housing market is showing a downward trajectory. Real estate agents analyzed that the end of last year showed the traditional peak season in housing market, and purchases rose slightly. Nevertheless, the market continues to remain speculative given the impacts from the overall environment. Currently, the Taiwanese housing market continues to be bearish. On the one hand is the construction costs that remain high, and on the other is the housing black swan that is ready to be set in motion. As the market sways between the two sides, the transaction turnover becomes longer, and the room for price negotiation also inevitably increases. The strong seller's market will eventually edge toward the buyers, and it is expected that the transaction volume in housing market will continues to be low in 2023.

- (3) Cathay Real Estate Indicator: Overall housing market transaction price remains stable but volume shrinks in 2022, as sales ratio and transaction volume greatly decline
The value remained steady while volume dipped in the Cathay Real Estate Indicator in 2022 Q4. Compared to the previous same quarter in the previous year, the value has risen while the volume shrunk. The transaction price, negotiation rate, property units launched, and the value of the new property launched in this quarter continued to be steady, while sales ratio and transaction volume both significantly declined. The risk of a downward global economic trajectory has risen and Taiwanese exports have shown negative growth in 4 consecutive months. The Central Bank has greatly decreased its 2022 global economic growth rate to 2.91%, and once again executed another 0.125% interest rate hike in mid December in order to curb the expectation for inflation. The sluggish economic growth and fluctuations in the stock market have led to an obvious slowdown in the transactions in the housing market in recent months. However, the approval of the third reading of the amendment to the Equalization of Land Rights Act will further control the act of real estate speculations, and lead to more orderly transactions in the housing market. In terms of the performance of individual regions compared to the same quarter in the previous year, transaction prices in all areas have risen; volume increased in Tainan but decreased in other regions.
From an annual perspective, since economic forecast continues to show downward trends, unfavorable factors including the effect of the interest rate hikes, the enactment of the amendments to The Equalization of Land Rights Act, and interferences in geopolitical conditions before the Presidential Elections have indicated that the supplies in the housing market are expected to decrease in the future.

The Central Bank has greatly decreased its 2022 global economic growth rate to 2.43%, and once again executed another 0.125% interest rate hike in mid December in order to curb the expectation for inflation.
As the government implements the "Healthy Housing Market Program", the sluggish economic growth and fluctuations in the stock market have led to an obvious slowdown in the transactions in the housing market in recent months. However, the approval of the third reading of the amendment to the Equalization of Land Rights Act may further control the act of real estate speculations, and lead to more orderly transactions in the housing market.
The shifts in the four quarters showed that compared to the peak in 2013 and
115
2014, the transaction prices across all regions in this wave have reached new highs. 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 exceeded the peak in the previous wave. Nevertheless, growth in Tainan and Kaohsiung have been sluggish in recent months. A comprehensive view of the housing market in this quarter shows that, compared with the same quarter last year, many projects have deferred their launch to after the Presidential Elections. The project launch value has slightly grown, transaction prices have soared while volume has declined. Price has moved farther and farther away from volume, and the performance of the housing market remains to be seen. However, sales performance has turned speculative due to the numerous negative effects, and both sales ratio and transaction volume have dropped.
Faced with unfavorable factors including inflation, tightening in land and construction financing, continued interest rate hikes, fluctuations in the financial market, and the approval of the third reading of the Equalization of Land Rights Act, the housing market in Taiwan is showing a more and more apparent downward trajectory as sellers and buyers remain stagnant on price and the market continues to be affected by the cyclical effect of the economy.
According to the Cathay Real Estate Indicator in 2022, transaction prices rose in the nationwide housing market and transaction volume remained stable with increased market demand. However, transaction volume has dropped significantly due to effects of the Central Bank's interest rate hikes, the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic, and the approval of the third reading of the Equalization of Land Rights Act in Q4. In addition, the soaring prices have also decreased somewhat starting in Q4, and going forward, both volume and price are expected to decline in the housing market.
Transaction prices experienced significant growth and transaction volume remained steady; the overall housing market performed well.

Effects of the amendment of the Equalization of Land Rights Act
-
Key revisions: Third reading of the amendments of certain articles in the Equalization of Land Rights Act was approved on January 10, 2023. The amendment contained five major key revisions, including restrictions on the transfer and resale of the agreements on the sale of pre-sale or new-built houses; severe penalties for real estate speculation; requirement to report the rescission of real property sales agreements; requirements for private entities to obtain the approval for the acquisition of residential buildings; and establishment of a mechanism for reporting with rewards.
-
Effects of the amendment: The restrictions on the transfer and resale of the agreements on the sale of pre-sale or new-built houses can effectively curb real property speculation and burst the housing property bubble; the requirements for private entities to obtain the approval for the acquisition of residential buildings will affect luxury property transactions, and will be effective in cooling the housing market. Housing prices are expected to fall slowly, and the falling property prices will also lead to a fall in transaction volume. A key factor will be whether regional governments will execute the relevant laws in practice, and this issue continues to require close attention.
-
Regions affected: Areas with relatively higher transfer and resale of pre-sale units or new-built houses; areas that will be mostly affected will be redevelopment zones and areas with soaring property prices, including New Taipei City, Taoyuan, Hsinchu, Taichung, and Tainan. Since Taipei City's property prices are too high, real estate speculation will be difficult; while Kaohsiung prefers to construct the properties before selling them, the effects of the amendment in these two areas are expected to be lower.
(B) Market performance in different regions
117
- Taipei City - rising prices and stable transaction volume
In 2022, the prices of new projects on the market in Taipei increased while the transaction volume remained steady, and demand was relatively high. The new projects are mostly urban renewal and reconstruction of urban unsafe and old buildings. Since the projects are mostly located in prime locations or have development potential, the property prices continued to sell for NT$1 million per ping. However, the high prices and the looming unfavorable factors have led sales ratio to decrease over each quarter.
==> picture [391 x 189] intentionally omitted <==
- New Taipei City-rising prices and stable transaction volume
In 2022, the prices of new projects on the market in New Taipei City increased while the transaction volume remained steady, and demand was relatively high. Offer prices and transaction prices both skyrocketed this year. Though the project launch value drastically decreased during the peak of the COVID-19 pandemic in Q2, the value peaked in Q4, and remained steady throughout the year. Nevertheless, the looming unfavorable factors have led sales ratio to decrease over each quarter.
==> picture [396 x 185] intentionally omitted <==
- Tainan City-Value and volume both grew
In 2022, the prices of new projects and transaction volume in Tainan City both
118
soared; the market was very active. The demand for housing market was driven by the Southern Taiwan Science Park, and prices grew dramatically. In addition, the completion of the Tainan Metropolitan Expressway will shorten the commuting time from the science park to the city center, thereby further propelling the development of the housing market along the expressway.

Kaohsiung City-rising prices and stable transaction volume
-
In 2022, the prices of new projects on the market in Kaohsiung City increased while the transaction volume remained steady, and demand was relatively high. The demand for housing market significantly increased and prices soared in 2021 due to the news regarding TSMC's plan to set up new plants at Nanzi. In 2022, benefiting from the commencement of large-scale benchmark projects, the value of projects launched grew by 50%; however, the partial delay in TSMC's planned Nanzi plant and the unfavorable housing property factors led to a sharp fall in sales ratio.

- Overview of industrial property and land transactions
In 2021, the total investment toward industrial land and properties reached a record-breaking NT$60 billion, and growth continued in 2022. Industrial land and property investments were mostly focused in Taipei City and New Taipei City, but they have been expanded outside of these two areas since 2019.
Industrial land and properties are mostly acquired by buyers with self use, and demand has been steady. However, after the government launched the "Three Major Programs for Investing in Taiwan" in 2019, many overseas Taiwanese enterprises have relocated back and are looking for properties for plant expansions. Therefore, plants and offices have performed better in comparison with other types of industrial land and properties.

(C) Urban renewal policy
[Passage of the amendment of the "Urban Renewal Act": Increased building bulk incentives and permission for local governments to dismantle sea-sand houses and other dangerous buildings on behalf of others]
The Legislative Yuan passed the amendment of the "Urban Renewal Act" in three readings. The amendment allows the exemption of coordination procedures for local governments to dismantle dangerous buildings in urban renewal projects on behalf of others, provided that a consensus is reached by the majority of residents and comprehensive placement measures are provided. It also increased the building bulk incentives to up to 1.3 times the original building bulk.
The Ministry of the Interior stated that the government has amended laws to increase the requirements for anti-earthquake designs of buildings in the wake of the 921 earthquake in 1999. However, there remains approximately 36,200 high-rise buildings with six stories or more which were built before the amendment of the legislation in December 1999. As these buildings were built in an era with lower antiearthquake standards, they may have insufficient anti-earthquake capacity and pose threats to public safety. Due to the large number of units, integration would not be easy. The lack of incentives also makes it difficult to promote reconstruction.
The Legislative Yuan passed the amendment of Article 57 of the "Urban Renewal Act" in three readings. It supports the mandatory demolition mechanism in the Building Act and it states that for land improvements that should be demolished or relocated within the scope of the right to convert, if the competent authority of the municipality or county/city determines that they are buildings constructed with reinforced concrete with high chloride ion content or insufficient anti-earthquake capacity, and thus pose risks to public safety, they can be exempted from the final stage of coordination between the implementer and the government. They can then be directly demolished by the local government in accordance with Article 81 of the Building Act.
In addition, the Legislative Yuan also passed the amendment of Article 65 to increase incentives for accelerated reconstruction. The amendment relaxed regulations that cap the incentives to 1.2 times the original building bulk for high-rise buildings before the implementation of building bulk restrictions. As for buildings constructed with reinforced concrete with high chloride ion content or insufficient antiearthquake capacity, and thus pose risks to public safety, due to the necessity for swift improvements, the amendment increased the building bulk incentives to 1.3 times the original building bulk, and the builder may proceed with construction based on the maximum incentive amount.
121
[Launch of new review scheme in Taipei City for accelerated urban renewal] Taipei City Government proposed new accelerated review measures for urban renewal, including:
Stage 1: Simplified procedures for planning renewed units to accelerate the urban renewal procedures
-
Simplified the procedures for urban renewal projects with fewer than six floors
-
Simplified coordination procedures for self-planned units on neighboring land.
-
Legal recognition of diversity in buildings and simplified application documents for self-planned units
Stage 2: Improved review performance
The cases are divided into different categories, such as self-planned renewal units, Q&A regarding renewal units, duplicate issuance and revocation of consent forms, Q&A regarding procedures, and simple changes. They are discussed by project teams in review meetings to separate cases. The review committee member serves as the convener of the meeting for the 168 Project Team. As a principle, hearing procedures are not required and meetings for review will be scheduled first. The review meeting shall confirm the review results and improve the review efficiency.
Stage 3: Integrated urban renewal and review of the urban design drawings
The Department of Urban Development stated that future urban design reports will be integrated with urban renewal business plan drawings. It would reduce the required operation time for implementers and make the review process smoother and more efficient.
[Passage of the amendment of the New Taipei Regulations Governing Incentives for Investment in Public Facilities for Urban Planning lowers the threshold for public facilities in urban renewal]
New Taipei City Government passed the amendment of Article 10 of the "New Taipei Regulations Governing Incentives for Investment in Public Facilities for Urban Planning" to resolve the issues of reconstruction on land used by old public facilities. In the future, the consent of all landowners will no longer be required for the reconstruction of existing land used for markets. A project can proceed with the investment incentive contract once it meets the minimum consent ratio stipulated in the Urban Renewal Act.
[Incentives for the reconstruction of dangerous and old buildings extended for 5 more years]
The Executive Yuan announced its approval of extension of the incentives in the form
122
of tax exemptions in Article 8 of the "Statute for Expediting Reconstruction of Urban Unsafe and Old Buildings". The extension shall be 5 years starting from May 12 this year and will last till May 11, 2027. It aims to use land price tax and housing tax incentives to encourage people to join the ranks for the reconstruction of dangerous and old buildings.
The tax exemptions for the reconstruction of dangerous and old buildings were set to expire this year. The Ministry of the Interior requested the Executive Yuan to extend the incentives by another 5 years. The Executive Yuan approved the proposal the day before yesterday and the extension was announced by the Ministry of the Interior yesterday.
[Increased effectiveness! Nearly 800 urban renewal projects for dangerous and old buildings]
The Construction and Planning Agency stated that the concerted efforts of the central and local governments and the private sector for urban renewal and the reconstruction of dangerous and old buildings have achieved significant results in 2021. The number of approved projects is close to 800 and is increasing steadily. The government also completed the amendment of the "Urban Renewal Act" and established related subsidiary legislation to implement the demolition of dangerous buildings and provide incentives for high-rise buildings. It also helps local governments implement public urban renewal projects for old and dangerous complexes they compiled in their surveys.
The Construction and Planning Agency stated that there has been an average of approximately 500 projects for private urban renewal and reconstruction of dangerous and old buildings each year from 2017 to 2020. It has assisted local governments in the approval of 782 cases in 2021 and the effects are obvious.
The Construction and Planning Agency also stated that local governments are conducting a full inventory of old and dangerous complexes in their jurisdiction. If it is determined as necessary to include them in future public urban renewal projects, the Construction and Planning Agency will prioritize the subsidies for the cost of preliminary planning, consolidation of intent, and selection of implementers. If a local government needs to establish a project office, the Agency will also provide assistance. The investment of manpower and funding will help local governments initiate public urban renewal projects for old and dangerous complexes and make appropriate use of the central government's urban renewal fund for investment to increase the quality of public urban renewal projects.
[New Taipei City Three-Step Urban Renewal Action Strategy]
a. Step 1 (Strategy 1): Transit-Oriented Development (TOD)
123
-
(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, 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. -
c. Step 3 (Strategy 3): Prioritize assistance for dangerous and old buildings for disaster prevention and take actions to resolve issues
124
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.

~ 129 ~
2. Long-term development plans::
(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 Taipei, New Taipei, Tainan, and Kaohsiung based on the project plans.
Though undeveloped land in prime areas of Taiwan is scarce nowadays and the price of land is extremely high, making it very challenging to acquire land through purchases; nevertheless, the Company strongly supports the development trend of the urban renewal policy, and has acquired land development rights in prime areas using joint construction or contract construction. This will also be the Company's key developments going forward.
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 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
~ 130 ~
sustainability and create better construction projects.
II. Overview of market, production, and sales
(I) Market analysis
1. Market conditions and forecast of Taiwan's housing market in 2023
Though favorable factors such as the demand sparked by inflation to invest in properties to retain value, and the high cost have supported the high property prices in 2022, unfavorable factors including increasingly conservative economic situation, the tightening monetary policy, the stricter housing market control, the second wave of COVID-19 pandemic, and tensions between the Taiwan Strait, have led to a cool down in the housing market in 2022. Transaction structure has turned from growing value and volume in 2021, to steady value but declining volume. In particular, the number of units transferred from sale throughout Taiwan has dropped from 348,200 in 2021, to less than 320,000 units.
Though favorable factors in 2023 including that inflation has driven real estate to become the best, value-retaining investment target to Taiwanese consumers, the government will continue to focus on encouraging urban renewal and rebuilding old and unsafe buildings, the government agencies are less lenient on the policy to curb real estate speculation, and will focus on a policy aimed for precise and strategic control. However, a new wave of supply will be released in the market, while continued labor shortage and green buildings continue to keep costs high, thereby eating away at profits in construction. Therefore, the housing market in Taiwan will continue to be sluggish in 2023.
2. Survey on residential housing demand
The survey on housing demand in 2022 was implemented in accordance with the overall residential building policy, and the targets of the survey were applicants for rental subsidies throughout the 22 counties and cities in Taiwan. The 2022 survey data showed that of all the areas for leased residential buildings, in terms of households, the type of social housing properties mostly demanded by the applicants for rental subsidies was 2 bedrooms (37.0%), followed by 3 bedrooms (35.9%). Of the six metropolitan areas, Taipei City had the most number of rental subsidies applicants who wished for 2 bedrooms (40.6%), while Taoyuan City wished for 3 bedrooms (39.9%). Of all the areas for leased residential buildings, in terms of households, the actual size of the social housing properties that applicants for rental subsidies mostly needed was between 20 pings to 30 pings (36.5%).
3. Survey on demand for plants and offices
The measures to curb real estate speculation from the Central Bank in recent years have not affected the demand from enterprises to purchase plants and offices. As business profits increase and enterprises look to expand capacity and R&D, the plants and offices market will continue to remain bullish. Observations on the supply and demand in Taipei City and New Taipei City have indicated that prices of the leader in plants and offices prices - Neihu Science and Technology Park - have grown by 70% or more, and this is expected to boost the demand for Nangang, Beitou-Shilin Technology Park, and New Taipei City.
Though the new office and plant supply in Taipei City will reach 800,000 pings
~ 131 ~
over the next five years, but in terms of location, most will be in Nangang, which will account for 400,000 pings, or 50% of this new supply. In terms of product type, most will be office buildings, while factory buildings will account for approximately 25%. Therefore, there will not be an oversupply in the market; alternatively, there may be a shortage. In particular, products with high-end software and hardware planning as well as accessible transportation and proximity to MRT stations, will be rare.
In addition, plants and offices in Taipei City already show trends to become higher end. Breakthroughs in hardware and software planning, the fame and expertise of the architects, and asset value, are gradually being made, while offer prices continue to grow.
4. Future market supply and demand and product positioning
By compiling the market forecast and residential housing demand survey results, it can be seen that Taiwan's residential housing market is slowly returning to buyers with self-use. In particular, the residential housing market in Taipei City and New Taipei City are mostly supported by inelastic demand and the supply is steady. Nevertheless, the duration of the sales cycle has been extended, and sales ratio has turned sluggish. For the past two years, the rapid growth in property prices has made properties less affordable to consumers. Therefore, by reducing the size of the units, we can control the total price of the residential building products to meet the market demand for product positioning of small and medium-sized properties. In terms of the plants and offices market in Taiwan, office buildings in Taipei City and regional factory buildings in major districts in New Taipei City remain the most promising. In particular, locations with the convenience of being close to MRT stations and the synergies of industrial clusters are the most promising for both own-use and for investment.

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 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, 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

Note: The formula for calculating the financial ratio is as follows:
- Financial structure
~ 150 ~
-
(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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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. (Note 4)

(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)

Independent Auditor's Report Comparison table (2023) Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi No. 22004605
To Kuo Yang Construction Co., Ltd.:
Audit Opinions
The Consolidated Balance Sheet of Kuo Yang Construction Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as Kuo Yang Group) as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022 and 2021 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 and promulgated to be effective 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, 2022 and 2021, and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flow from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021.
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 Standards on Auditing (TWSA). 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 2022 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.
-154-
Key audit matters of the Consolidated Financial Statements of Kuo Yang Group for 2022 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 handover 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 level 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.
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 2022 and 2021. 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$986,405 thousand and NT$970,823 thousand as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 accounted for5.88% and 5.60% of the total assets, respectively. The comprehensive income recognized for 2022 and 2021 was NT$142,204 thousand and
-155-
NT$168,898 thousand, which accounted for 50.76% and 23.05% 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 2022 and 2021, 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", International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and explanations/interpretations approved and promulgated to be effective by FSC 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.
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 Standards on Auditing (TWSA) 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.
-156-
When conducting the auditing work according to the Standards on Accounting (TWSA), we exercised our professional judgment and professional skepticism. We also execute the following tasks:
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 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.
-
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.
-
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).
-157-
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 2022 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 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.
-167-
(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 and promulgated to be effective 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.
-
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
-
Basis for preparation of financial statements
-
(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.
-
(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.
-
(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 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
-168-
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.

-169-
None.
-
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.
-
Foreign currency transactions and balances
-
(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.
-
(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.
-
(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.
-
Translation of foreign operations
-
(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 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
-170-
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:
-
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
-
(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.
-
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 Group as non-current liabilities.
(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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-171-
financial assets are recognized in profit or loss.
- 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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Company a legal right to receive consideration in exchange for transferred goods or rendered services.
-
The short-term accounts and notes receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
-
(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 Company 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
-172-
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
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-173-
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
-
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.
-
On the commencement date, the Group measures lease liabilities by the present value of 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 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:
-174-
-
(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.
(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
-
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.
(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.
-175-
(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
- 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.
- Pension
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.
- 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.
- (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
- 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.
-176-
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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
-
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.
-
Some of the Group 's sales contracts include variable consideration for price reduction and
-177-
the Group uses the expected or most probable amount as the appropriate estimated value for variable consideration.
- 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.
Business services
The Group provides consultancy services for planning, construction, and sales of construction development projects, and executes relevant services accordingly. Labor services are recognized as revenue when providing services to customers during the financial reporting period. The customer is required to pay at the time specified in the payment schedule. A contract asset is recognized when the services provided exceed the payment, while a contract liability is recognized when the payments exceed the services provided by the Group.
(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 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, 2022 is detailed in Note 6 (5).

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.
-205-
-
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 2022 and 2021 will increase or decrease by $170 and $204, 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 $4,335 and $7,448, respectively.
Interest rate risk for cash flow and fair value
-
A. The Group's interest rate risks mainly arise from short-term borrowings and shortterm 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 2022 and 2021, 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 2022 and 2021 would result in an increase or decrease of $59,932 and $58,098, 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 payment collection terms.
-
B. The Group establishes credit risk management from the perspective of the Group. The Company has set a minimum independent credit rating of "A" for banks and financial institutions before they can be accepted as transaction counterparties.
-206-
-
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, 2022 and 2021 was insignificant.
-
D. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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:
Non-derivative financial liabilities:
| Non-derivative financial liabilities: | ||
|---|---|---|
| December 31, 2022 Within 1 year Short-term borrowings $ 639,211 Short-term notes and bills payable 528,500 Accounts payable 209,057 Lease liabilities 22,817 Non-derivative financial liabilities: December 31, 2021 Within 1 year Short-term borrowings $ 1,500,051 Short-term notes and bills payable 1,139,090 Accounts payable 394,337 Lease liabilities 23,867 |
1 to 3 years $ 241,166 - - 21,917 1 to 3 years $ 1,453,386 - - 44,583 |
3 years or above |
| $ 5,205,800 - 15,470 - 3 years or above |
||
| December 31, 2021 Short-term borrowings Short-term notes and bills payable Accounts payable Lease liabilities |
||
| $ 1,965,247 - - - |
- 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.
-207-
(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.
-
Please refer to Note 6 (10) for information on the fair value of investment properties carried at cost.
-
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.
-
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:
-
(1) The information on the Group's classification of assets by nature is as follows:
| December 31, 2022 Assets Recurring fair value measurements Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss Current financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income Non-current financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income |

Level3 $ - $ - $ 426,132 |
Total $ 20,424 $ 744,787 $ 426,132 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
-
(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:
Listed stocks Open-end funds Market quoted price 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 Group in 2022 and 2021.
-
The Level-3 movements for 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
| January 1 Acquired in the current period Disposed in the current period Valuation adjustment December 31 |
2022 $ 426,132 59,548 - 19,286 $ 504,966 |
2021 $ 1,024,216 10,645 ( 322,667 ) ( 286,062 ) $ 426,132 |
|---|---|---|
- 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.

Independent Auditor's Report
(2023) Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi No. 22004384
To Kuo Yang Construction Co., Ltd.:
Audit Opinions
The Individual Balance Sheet of Kuo Yang Construction Co., Ltd. as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 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, 2022 and 2021 have been audited by the CPA.
In our opinion and based on our audits and reports of other CPAs, the Individual Financial Statements were prepared in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" in all material respects, and present fairly the individual financial position of Kuo Yang Construction as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its individual financial performance and its individual cash flow from January 1 to December 31, 2022 and 2021.
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 Standards on Accounting (TWSA). 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 2022 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.
Key audit matters of the Individual Financial Statements of Kuo Yang Construction for 2022 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.
-221-
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 handover 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 level 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.
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 2022 and 2021. 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$986,405 thousand and NT$970,823 thousand as of December 31, 2022 and 2021 accounted for 6.32% and 5.93% of the total assets, respectively. The comprehensive income recognized for 2022 and 2021 was NT$142,204 thousand and NT$168,898 thousand, which accounted for 50.76% and 23.05% 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
-222-
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 Standards on Auditing (TWSA) 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 economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.
When conducting the auditing work according to the Standards on Accounting (TWSA), we exercised our professional judgment and professional skepticism. We also execute the following tasks:
-
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
-223-
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.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, the CPA determines matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2022 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.

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
1. 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.
2. 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
(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.
-232-
-
(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. -
(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 retranslated 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.
2. 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 noncontrolling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Company retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary
-233-
after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions
should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign
operation.
-
(IV) Classification of current and non current items- 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:
1. 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`
- `(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.
2. 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.
(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.
-234-
Time deposits that meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting shortterm 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 accounting.
3. 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
-235-
benefits associated with the dividend will flow to the Company, and the amount of the dividend can be measured reliably.
(VIII) Accounts and notes receivable
1. Accounts and notes receivable entitle the Company 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.
-
(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
-
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.
(XIII) Investments/subsidiaries and affiliates recognized under the equity method
- "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.
-236-
-
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.
-
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.
-237-
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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 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.
-
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.
-
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.
-238-
(XV) 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 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.
-
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.
(XVI) Lease transaction as a lessee - right-of-use assets/lease liabilities
-
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.
-
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
-239-
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-ofuse 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 the cost approach. Except for land, the depreciation is recognized on a straightline 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.
-240-
(XXIII) Employee benefits
- 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.
- Pension
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.
- 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.
(XXIV) Income tax
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-241-
-
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.
-
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.
(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
-
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.
-
Some of the Company's sales contracts include variable consideration for price reduction and the Company uses the expected or most probable amount as the appropriate estimated value for variable consideration.
-
The Company has included customers' advance payments in the contracts for presales 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.
-242-
Labor services services
The Company provides consultancy services for planning, construction, and sales of construction development projects, and executes relevant services accordingly. Labor services are recognized as revenue when providing services to customers during the financial reporting period. The customer is required to pay at the time specified in the payment schedule. A contract asset is recognized when the services provided by the Company exceed the payment, while a contract liability is recognized when the payments exceed the services provided by the Company.
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, 2022 is detailed in Note 6 (5).

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.
(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 Friday, June 17, 2022. According to the Company's earnings distribution policy in the Articles of Incorporation, the Company has deleted the Article stating that it may proceed with the distribution of earnings of making up for losses at the end of each quarter in accordance with the Company Act.
-
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%.

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.
-
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 2022 and 2021 will increase or decrease by $118 and $148, 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 $1,195 and $3,096, 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 2022 and 2021, 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 2022 and 2021 would result in an increase or decrease of $51,792 and $50,805, respectively.
-277-
-
(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 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, 2022 and 2021 was insignificant. -
D. As of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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.
-278-
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:
-279-
Non-derivative financial liabilities:

(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:
- 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.
2. Please refer to Note 6 (9) for information on the fair value of investment properties carried at cost.
3. 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, shortterm borrowings, short-term notes payable, notes payable, accounts payable, other payables, and deposit received, are reasonable approximations of the

fair value.
4. 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:

(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:
Listed stocks Open-end funds Market quoted price 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.
5. There was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 in the Company in 2022 and 2021.
6. The Level-3 movements for 2022 and 2021 were as follows:
January 1 Acquired in the current period Disposed in the current period Valuation adjustment December 31 |
2022 2021 $ 234,385 $ 800,164 59,548 - - ( 278,470) 22,725 ( 287,309) $ 316,658 $ 234,385 |
|---|---|
7. 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.
8. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:

As the operating revenue in 2022 decreased from the same period in the previous year, the operating costs and gross profit also decreased.

(3) Decrease in income tax expenses: Mainly due to the profit of the term in 2022 being lower than the same period last year; therefore, the income tax expenses have also been decreased accordingly. |

| Short-termborrowings | 5,993,189 | 5,809,753 |
| Interest expenses(1) | 30,519 | 46,674 |
| Net operating profit(2) | 279,217 | 940,233 |
| Percentage(1)/(2) | 10.93% | 4.96% |
Source: Consolidated financial report audited and certified by the CPA
The Company's main source of the net operating profit in 2022 was the revenue recognized for the sales of remaining units. Interest expenses accounted for 10.93% of the net operating profit.
The main source of the net operating profit in 2021 was the revenue recognized for the sales of remaining units and transfer of completed construction projects. Interest expenses accounted for 4.96% of the net operating profit.
In 2022, the Central Bank increased interest rate range for four times, and cumulative rate hike has been 0.625%. The Company's short-term borrowings interest rate range in 2022 was between 2.29% to 2.89%. 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.
- Impact of changes in exchange rate on the Company's profits and losses and future response measures:
The main business activiies of the Gropu 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.
- 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 was 2.95% in 2022. 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 on the Company.

The Company closely monitors domestic and international political and economic developments as well as changes in regulations, and maintains adequate response capabilities.

-
(V) Impact of recent technological and market changes on the Company's finance and business, and response measures:
-
The Company operates in the construction industry. Confronted with factors unfavorable to the developing of the housing market, including changes in the economy, the government's "Healthy Housing Market" policy, interest hikes, the Central Bank's credit control policy, the passing of the third reading of The Equalization of Land Rights Act, in terms of land developments going forward, the residential projects will be mostly focused on urban renewals and joint development projects.

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