Independent Auditor's Report (2021) Cai-Shen-Bao-Zi No. 20004773

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, 2020 and 2019, Consolidated Statements of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statements of Changes in Equity, Consolidated Cash Flow Statement, and Notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements (including a summary of material accounting policies) from January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019 have been audited by the CPA.

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

Basis of Audit Opinions

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

Key Audit Matters

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

~4~

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

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

Description

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

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

Corresponding auditing procedures

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

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

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

Inventories valuation - land for construction

Description

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

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

~5~

Corresponding auditing procedures

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

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

Other matters - Reference to audits of other CPAs

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

Other matters - Individual Financial Statements

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

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

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

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

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

~6~

Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the Consolidated Financial Statements as a whole are free from material misstatements, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an independent auditor's report. Reasonably reliable means highly reliable. However, auditing work carried out in accordance with the Generally Accepted Auditing Standards of the ROC cannot guarantee detection of significant misrepresentations in the Consolidated Financial Statements. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, the CPA determines matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 2020 Consolidated Financial Statements of Kuo Yang Group for the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors' report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in

~7~

extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

IV. Summary of significant accounting policies

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

(I) Statement of compliance

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

  • (II) Basis of preparation

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

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

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

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

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

(III) Basis of consolidation

  1. Basis for preparation of financial statements

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

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

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

~17~

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

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

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

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

(IV) Foreign currency translation

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

  1. Foreign currency transactions and balances

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

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

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

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

  6. Translation of foreign operations

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

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

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

~19~
  - C. All resulting exchange differences are recognized in other comprehensive income.
  • (2) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is a subsidiary, cumulative exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately transferred to the non-controlling interest in this foreign operation. In addition, even when the Group retains partial interest in the former foreign subsidiary after losing control of the former foreign subsidiary, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in the foreign operation.

  • (V) Classification of current and non-current items

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

  11. (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.

~20~

(VI) Cash equivalents

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(IX) Accounts and notes receivable

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

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

~21~

(X) Impairment of financial assets

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

(XI) Derecognition of financial assets

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

(XII) Lease transaction as a lessor

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

  • (XIII) Inventories

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

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

(XIV) Investments/affiliates recognized under the equity method

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

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

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

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

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

(XV) Joint operations

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

  • (XVI) Property, plant and equipment

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

~23~

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

(XVIII) Investment properties

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

(XIX) Intangible assets

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

(XX) Impairment of non-financial assets

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

(XXI) Borrowings

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

(XXII) Accounts and notes payable

  1. Accounts payable are the liabilities for purchases of raw materials, goods, or services, and notes payable generated from operations and those not generated from operations.
~24~
  1. The short-term accounts and notes payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(XXIII) Derecognition of financial liabilities

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

(XXIV) Financial guarantee contracts

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

(XXV) Employee benefits

  1. Short-term employee benefits

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

  1. Pension

  2. (1) Defined contribution plans

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

  • (2) Defined benefit plans

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

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

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

~25~
  1. Employees' remuneration and directors' remuneration

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

- (XXVI) Employee share based payment

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

(XXVII) Income tax

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

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

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

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

~26~

reassessed.

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

(XXVIII) Dividends

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

(XXIX) Revenue recognition

Land development and real property sales

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

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

  3. (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,

~27~

estimates, and uncertainty assumptions below. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of resulting in a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year,

(I) Critical judgments in applying accounting policies

None.

(II) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

Evaluation of inventories

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

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

(XIII) Pension

  1. The Company has a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the "Labor Standards Act", covering all regular employees' service years prior to the enforcement of the "Labor Pension Act" on July 1, 2005 and service years thereafter of employees who chose to continue the pension
~38~

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

  • (3) The assets of the Company's defined benefit pension plan are entrusted to the Bank of Taiwan in accordance with Article 6 of the Regulations for Revenues, Expenditures, Safeguard and Utilization of the Labor Retirement Fund (i.e., deposit in domestic or foreign financial institutions, investment in domestic or foreign listed, over-the-counter, or private placement
~39~

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

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

Discount rate
Future salary increase rate
2019
0.65%

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

  1. Effective July 1, 2005, the Company and domestic subsidiaries have established a defined contribution pension plan (New Plan) under the Labor Pension Act, covering all regular employees with R.O.C. nationality. Under the New Plan, the Company and domestic subsidiaries contribute monthly an amount based on 6% of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the employees’ individual pension accounts at the Bureau of Labor Insurance for employees who opt for the pension system in the "Labor Pension Act". The contribution plan accrues dividends from an employee’s individual account and is paid monthly or in lump sum upon retirement of an employee. The pension costs recognized by the Group in accordance with the above pension plan were $3,095 and $3,111 in 2020 and 2019.

  2. (XIV) Share capital

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

(XVI) Retained earnings

  1. According to the earnings distribution policy in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, in the event of surplus earnings after closing of annual accounts, due taxes shall be paid in accordance with the law, and losses incurred in previous years shall be compensated. Upon completion of the preceding actions, 10% of the remainder surplus shall be allocated as legal reserve. However, in the event that the accumulated legal reserve is equivalent to or exceeds the Company's total paidin 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
~41~

approval in a resolution before the distribution. Where dividends are distributed in cash, the Board of Directors shall be authorized to determine such distribution by a resolution adopted by a majority vote at a meeting attended by over two thirds of the Directors and it shall be reported at the shareholders' meeting.

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

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

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

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

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

3. Significant financial risks and degree of financial risks

  • (1) Market risks

Foreign exchange risks

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

Price risks

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

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

Interest rate risk for cash flow and fair value

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

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

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

  • (2) Credit risks

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

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

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

~56~

insignificant.

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

  • (3) Liquidity risks

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

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

Non-derivative financial liabilities:

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

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

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

    • Level 2:Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset

~57~

or liability, either directly or indirectly.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the assets or liabilities.

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

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

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

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

  • (2) The methods and assumptions that the Group used to measure the fair value are as follows: A. The instruments for which the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (i.e., Level 1) are divided by the characteristics of the instruments as follows:

Listed stocks

Open-end funds

~58~

Closing price

Net worth

Market quoted price

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

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

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

January 1

43,657
$ 359,330
  1. An independent appraiser appointed by the Group is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorized within Level 3. The appraiser submits a valuation report for the Finance Department to perform the fair value verification of financial instruments to ensure that the source of data is independent, reliable, and represented as the exercisable price.
