Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation Business Report
In 2020, the world suffered the impact of COVID-19, which severely affected global economic development. In the face of the pandemic, our investments in industrial gases, petrochemicals, food manufacturing, and leasing businesses have maintained positive growth in profitability.
I. 2020 Business results
1. Consolidated revenue and profitability
With the devotion and efforts of all employees, we managed to maintain good operating results in 2020. The consolidated revenue amounted to NT$ 9.54 billion, with an increase of NT$ 1.27 billion from the year 2019. The growth is mainly due to the system integration service business being included in the calculation of consolidated revenue starting April 2019. In 2020, the percentages of each business in the consolidated revenue were 43.5% for the noodle business, 41.2% for the system integration service business, 8.1% for the investment business, 3.6% for the real estate leasing business, and 3.6% for the retail and food service channel business.
The net income attributable to owners of the parent company was NT$ 3.1 billion, which is an increase of 12% compared to 2019, and the earnings per share (EPS) after tax was NT$2.43. The Company did not disclose its 2020 financial forecast. Thus, no completion of financial forecast is to be disclosed.
2. R&D

(1) Noodle business: We develop new products with our advantage of professional powder mixing technology. The R&D expenditure incurred by the R&D Center for the year 2020 was NT$ 39.74 million.

Corporate social responsibility
In order to strengthen the communication channels with our stakeholders, we have prepared a CSR report. Please refer to the Company’s official website for more details. In 2020, we participated in charity activities at The Mustard Seed Mission, Saint Mary Garden of St. Joseph’s Social Welfare Foundation, Hualian Anders Special Education School, and Yu Jen Special Education School. We have also held a blood donation activity. Through the implementation of social welfare activities, we hope to care for the disadvantaged in society and take practical actions to care for people in need.
II. Summary of 2021 Business Plan
Looking ahead to 2021, with the progress of global vaccine administration, the economy is expected to recover moderately and there lies opportunities for further growth in the operations of the Group’s business. The development strategies are as follows:
- Noodle business
We continue to research new products, expand product diversification, expand the export markets, increase export sales, cooperate with domestic and foreign industries, and seek investment and cooperation opportunities to expand the market share.
- Real estate business
We work with business partners to develop idle lots, and increase the value of land use through government land rezoning policies.
-
System integration business
-
With our self-developed MiCloud 2.0 (cloud service), MiAION (edge server), and MiAIOT (data exchange platform for the IoT), we have built the foundation for AIoT solutions and continue to achieve and grasp digital transformation business opportunities.
III. Impacts of the external competitive environment, regulatory environment, and the overall business environment
In the noodle business, raw materials were affected by the climate change and the US monetary easing policy, causing abnormal price and exchange rate fluctuations. We maintain a close working relationship with downstream companies to respond to the impact of changing external conditions by grasping the changes in wheat production conditions and closely monitoring exchange rate fluctuations.
~11~
In terms of laws and regulations, we have established an ISO 17025 accredited food safety laboratory to ensure the implementation of food safety regulations. In addition, in order to speed up the promotion of corporate governance of the listed companies, the competent authorities have been revising corporate governancerelated regulations. Besides complying with the requirements of the laws and regulations, we strive for self-improvement in all areas in order to achieve the goal of continuous improvement in corporate governance.
In terms of system integration services, according to the “Digital Transformation Assessment” of the “Institute for Information Industry”, only 23% of Taiwan companies have put forward a digital transformation development strategy, and nearly half of the companies have not yet made a clear transformation plan. The market is full of opportunities. System integration integrates various emerging technologies such as cloud computing, IoT, block chain, virtualization, AI, and 5G. We look forward to working with our customers to create a win-win situation.
Despite the impact of the epidemic, monetary easing brought inflationary pressure in various countries, and the political war between the US and China has also caused economic impacts. However, with the administration of vaccine, the epidemic will gradually subside, and consumption will recover. We are positive with opportunities in 2021 global economics. We will continue to integrate the Group’s internal resources, prudently evaluate our investment strategies and maximize the benefits of our operations for our shareholders.
Sincerely,
Chairman: Matthew Feng-Chiang Miau
President: Roger Lin
Chief Accountant: Wen-Ching Yen

Attachment 3
Independent Auditors’ Report
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation:
Opinion
We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation (Original name: Lien Hwa Industrial Corporation) and its subsidiaries (LHIHC Group) as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statement of comprehensive income, the consolidated statement of changes in equity and the consolidated cash flow statement, and the notes to consolidated financial statements (including the summary of significant accounting policies) for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
In our opinion, all material disclosures of the consolidated financial statements mentioned above were prepared in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, international financial reporting standards approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission, the International Accounting Standards and interpretations thereof, and presented a fair view of the consolidated financial position of LHIHC Group as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and consolidated business performance and cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Basis for opinion
We have 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. Our responsibility to the standards will be explained in the paragraph of auditor’s responsibilities when auditing the consolidated financial statements. All relevant independent personnel subject to the CPA professional ethics within the firm remain independent from the LHIHC Group and implement responsibilities regulated in the ethics. We believe we have obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis for the audit opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are the most important matters that we audit in the 2020 consolidated financial statements of the LHIHC Group based on our professional judgment. All relevant matters were audited during the audit of the consolidated financial statements and the formulation of the audit opinions. We will not express our opinions on those matters separately. The key audit matters that we determine shall be listed on the audit report include:
Recognition of revenue
Regarding the accounting policies for the recognition of revenue, please see note 4(16) to the Consolidated Financial Statements; for the important accounting estimate and the uncertainty assumed, please see note 6(23) to the Consolidated Financial Statements.
~14~
Description of the key audit matters:
LHIHC Group- The main product of the noodle business is flour made from wheat. The product is sold by distributors and chained stores. In addition, the food company will purchase the product to make food and sells it to the consumer. Since the main customers of the Group are distributors, chained stores and food companies, whether LHIHC Group gives the sales discount correctly is important to the recognition of revenue of the company. As a result, it is a matter we need to highly focus on when auditing the financial statements. Corresponding audit process:
The audit process we perform for the above key audit matters includes: We lean the reason of the sales discount and evaluate the accounting policies for recognition; We evaluate whether the management performs the recognition of the sales discount pursuant to the existing accounting policies of the Company; We perform sampling inspection to verify relative forms along with vouchers and check the if the calculation is correct.
LHIHC Group- It is a business group of integrated system service with the main business including information engineering projects and intelligent projects. The completion percentage is estimated pursuant to the accounting standards and the income of the engineering project is calculated based on that percentage and the total contract price. We have to refer to the internal and external vouchers and certain estimated information to calculate the completion percentage; as a result, the calculation is more complex. The income amount is a major item and, therefore, a matter of high focus during the auditing of the financial statements.
Corresponding audit process:
Our main audit process for the above key audit matters include: We learn and examine whether the design and implementation of the internal control mechanism is effective. The mechanism is related to the correctness of the estimated completion percentage and the project income recognition. In addition, we evaluate whether the use of the accounting policies in the calculation of the completion percentage are consistent. We also perform substantive tests on the project contract details that are not complete at the end of the period. This way, we can ensure the estimated completion percentage and the project income recognition are correct.
Other matters
We hereby express an unqualified opinion in favor of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation on the financial statements of the parent company only so prepared for 2020 and 2019.
The responsibility of the management and the governing body for the consolidated financial statements
The management is responsible for preparing the appropriate consolidated financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, international financial reporting standards approved by the Financial Supervisory Commission, the International Accounting Standards and interpretations thereof. Additionally, it is responsible for
~15~
maintaining the internal control mechanism that is related to and necessary for the preparation of the consolidated financial statements. As a result, it can ensure material misstatement due to fraud or error is not pertained in the consolidated financial statements.
Other than the situation that the management intends to liquidate LHIHC Group or stop the business, or no other approaches can be used except for these two measures, during the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, the responsibility of the management also includes evaluating the going concern capacity of the LHIHC Group, disclosure of relative matters, and adoption of the going concern accounting basis.
The governing body of the LHIHC Group (including the Audit Committee) has the responsibility to supervise the financial reporting procedures.
Our responsibility for the audit of the consolidated financial statements
The purpose for us to audit the consolidated financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance that there is no material misstatement due to fraud or error in the consolidated financial statements, and we issue the audit report afterwards. Reasonable assurance means high assurance. Only that the audit work implemented in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards cannot give the promise that every material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements are found. Misstatement might result from fraud or error. If we can reasonably expect the individual amounts or the total amount in the misstatement would influence the financial decision made by the user of the consolidated financial statements, the misstatement is considered material.
When performing the audit according to the generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and remain skeptical professionally. We also perform the following work:
-
We identify the material misstatement resulting from fraud or error in the consolidated financial statement and assess its risk. We design and implement appropriate corresponding measures for the assessed risk. We acquire sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis for the audit opinion. Due to the fact that fraud might include collusion, forgery, intended omission, misstatement and violation of internal control, the risk of the misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error.
-
We acquire necessary understanding of the internal control mechanism that is related to the audit to design appropriate audit process for the situation at the time. The purpose of the knowledge is not expressing opinions to the effectiveness of the internal control mechanism of the LHIHC Group.
-
We evaluate whether the accounting policies adopted by the management are suitable and whether the accounting estimation as well as relative disclosures are appropriate.
-
Based on the acquired audit evidence, we decide whether the going concern accounting basis adopted by the management is suitable, whether events that might affect the going concern capacity of Lien Hwa exist, and whether there is major uncertainty. A conclusion will be made afterwards. We believe under the circumstances that there is major uncertainty, a reminder shall be included in the audit report to inform the consolidated financial statements user to pay attention to
~16~
relative disclosures in the statements. We shall modify the audit opinion when the disclosure is considered improper. Our conclusion is based on the audit evidence acquired as of the date of the audit report. Future events or circumstances might still result in the fact that LHIHC Group no longer has the going concern capacity.
-
We evaluate the overall statements, structures and contents of the consolidated financial statements (including relative notes) and see whether the statements appropriately state relevant transactions and events.
-
We examine the financial information of individual companies within the Group to acquire sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for expressing opinions in the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible to guide, supervise and implement the audit for the Company. In addition, we are responsible for the formulation of opinions for the company.
We communicate with the governing body on the scope and time of the audit as well as the significant findings (including significant deficiencies of the internal control mechanism identified during the audit process).
We have issued a declaration of independence to the governing body, which assured that all relevant personnel within the CPA firm had complied with ethical rules of the CPA profession. Besides, we mention the relation or situation that may compromise the CPA’s independence (including relevant preventive measures) to the governing body.
After communicating the above matters with the governing body, we decide the key audit matters in the 2020 consolidated financial report of LHIHC Group. We clearly state all above matters in the audit report, unless the law prohibits us to publicly disclose certain matters, or under rare circumstances we decide not to include certain matters in the audit report since we can reasonably expect the resulting negative impact is greater than the public interest they bring.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’report are Linda Chiang and Liu-Fong Yang

In our opinion, all material disclosures of the parent company only financial statements mentioned above were prepared in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms, and presented a fair view of the financial position of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation as at December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the business performance and cash flow for the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019.
Basis for opinion

Our responsibility to the standards will be explained in the paragraph of auditor’s responsibilities when auditing the parent company only financial statements. All relevant independent personnel subject to the CPA professional ethics within the firm remain independent from the Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation and implement responsibilities regulated in the ethics. We believe we have obtained sufficient appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis for the audit opinion.
Key audit matters
Key audit matters are the most important matters that we audit in the 2020 parent company only financial statements of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation based on our professional judgment. All relevant matters were audited during the audit of the parent company only financial statements and the formulation of the audit opinions. We will not express our opinions on those matters separately. The key audit matters that we determine shall be listed on the audit report include: Assessment of investment under equity method
Regarding the accounting policies for the investment assessment under equity method, please see note 4(8) and (9) to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements; for the shareholding in the profit of the affiliated companies and joint ventures under the equity method, please see see note 6(6) to the Parent Company Only Financial Statements.
Description of the key audit matters:
~23~
After the demerger and transformation of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation, the main business became general investment. The recognized investment amount under equity method totaled NTD31,093,720 thousand, occupying 82% of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation’s total assets. Therefore, the investment under equity method is listed as a matter we need to highly focus on when auditing.
Corresponding audit process:
The audit process we perform for the above key audit matters includes: provide audit instructions to and communicate with the audit staff of other component entities; acquire the financial statements of the component entities, perform a check calculation for the correctness of the recognized investment amount under equity method and attributable period and assess whether the management has properly discoursed the investment under equity method.
The responsibility of the management and the governing body for the parent company only financial statements
The management is responsible for preparing the appropriate parent company only financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Firms. Additionally, it is responsible for maintaining the internal control mechanism that is related to and necessary for the preparation of the parent company only financial statements. As a result, it can ensure material misstatement due to fraud or error is not pertained in the parent company only financial statements.
Other than the situation that the management intends to liquidate Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation or stop the business, or no other approaches can be used except for these two measures, during the preparation of the parent company only financial statements, the responsibility of the management also includes evaluating the going concern capacity of the Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation, disclosure of relative matters, and adoption of the going concern accounting basis.
The governing body of the Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation (including the Audit Committee) has the responsibility to supervise the financial reporting procedures.

Our responsibility for the audit of the parent company only financial statements
The purpose for us to audit the parent company only financial statements is to obtain reasonable assurance that there is no material misstatement due to fraud or error in the parent company only financial statements, and we issue the audit report afterwards. Reasonable assurance means high assurance. Only that the audit work implemented in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards cannot give the promise that every material misstatement in the parent company only financial statements are found. Misstatement might result from fraud or error. If we can reasonably expect the individual amounts or the total amount in the misstatement would influence the financial decision made by the user of the parent company only financial statements, the misstatement is considered material.
When performing the audit according to the generally accepted auditing standards, we exercise professional judgment and remain skeptical professionally. We also perform the following work:
-
We identify the material misstatement resulting from fraud or error in the parent company only financial statement and assess its risk. We design and implement appropriate corresponding measures for the assessed risk. We acquire sufficient and appropriate audit evidence to serve as the basis for the audit opinion. Due to the fact that fraud might include collusion, forgery, intended omission, misstatement and violation of internal control, the risk of the misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error.
-
We acquire necessary understanding of the internal control mechanism that is related to the audit to design appropriate audit process for the situation at the time. The purpose of the knowledge is not expressing opinions to the effectiveness of the internal control mechanism of the Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation.
-
We evaluate whether the accounting policies adopted by the management are suitable and whether the accounting estimation as well as relative disclosures are appropriate.
-
Based on the acquired audit evidence, we decide whether the going concern accounting basis adopted by the management is suitable, whether events that might affect the going concern capacity of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation exist, and whether there is major uncertainty. A conclusion will be made afterwards. We believe under the circumstances that there is major uncertainty, a reminder shall be included in the audit report to inform the parent company only financial statements user to pay attention to relative disclosures in the statements. We shall modify the audit opinion when the disclosure is considered improper. Our conclusion is based on the audit evidence acquired as of the date of the audit report. Future events or circumstances might still result in the fact that Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation no longer has the going concern capacity.
-
We evaluate the overall statements, structures and contents of the parent company only financial statements (including relative notes) and see whether the statements appropriately state relevant transactions and events.
~25~
- We examine the financial information of invested company under the equity method to acquire sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for expressing opinions in the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible to guide, supervise and implement the audit. In addition, we are responsible for the formulation of opinions for Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation. We communicate with the governing body on the scope and time of the audit as well as the
significant findings (including significant deficiencies of the internal control mechanism identified during the audit process).
We have issued a declaration of independence to the governing body, which assured that all relevant personnel within the CPA firm had complied with ethical rules of the CPA profession. Besides, we mention the relation or situation that may compromise the CPA's independence (including relevant preventive measures) to the governing body.
After communicating the above matters with the governing body, we decide the key audit matters in the 2020 parent company only financial report of Lien Hwa Industrial Holdings Corporation. We clearly state all above matters in the audit report, unless the law prohibits us to publicly disclose certain matters, or under rare circumstances we decide not to include certain matters in the audit report since we can reasonably expect the resulting negative impact is greater than the public interest they bring.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’report are Linda Chiang and Liu-Fong Yang
