Issues to be Reported

  • I. The Company’s Business Report, 2014 is proposed for resolution. Descriptions:

  • I. Report on the Business Performance in the Preceding Fiscal Year:

  • Looking back over year 2014 while the global economy showed signs of growth, economic performances were increasingly varied in different nations and regions. The United States in that year was in a stable revival in its economy as the very momentum for the entire world economy. The Euro regions could merely grow at an insignificant pace amidst high unemployment and commodity prices problems. Japan and South Korea appeared weak in domestic demand. In China under the government policies, economy grew at a slow-down pace and, in turn, affected the performance in export of the peripheral regions, notably Japan, South Korea, Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) and Taiwan. As a natural result, entrepreneurs in Taiwan hold a relatively conservative attitude toward future economy.

With respect to real estate markets, during nationwide election

1

campaigns, the key mass media normally focused on political issues while the potential real estate buyers held a wait-and-see attitude. Furthermore, amidst worries about the proposed tax reform, the general public was hesitant and the macro-real estate markets appeared unoptimistic. In turn, construction firms were deferring their presentation of new construction projects, leading to an unpromising aspiration in real estate. Here at the Company, our entire team was still keeping to our promises in peripheral regions of urban areas characterized by providing the convenient facilities of life and transportation, e.g., the special zones of Taiwan High Speed Rail, regions along the mass rapid transit systems and Metropolitan Taichung Area as the hot spots for our large scale programs. Further echoing the government policies, we successfully launched our Great Blessing Slogan in Metropolitan Tainan Area and harvested the bumper crops. In the current year, the significant large construction programs concluded include: Taipei Prince Tanmei, Taichung Cloud Century Regions B, C, Jing-Yun-Sian, Tainan Prince WIN-W Suites A, B, Prince WIN-I Mansion among others.

In the wake of heavy efforts in reorganization and adjustment of resources, Prince Housing & Development Corporation has significantly streamlined the major policymaking process and, as a result, boosted the overall performance. Those varieties of profit-oriented investment in real estate have become increasingly mature and provide stable sources of profit.

In the entire year, the Company gained operating revenues amounting to NT$10.892 billion, net profit amounting to NT$2.398 billion; consolidated revenues amounting to NT$19.424 billion and consolidated net profits amounting to NT$2.379 billion.

II. Operating Plans of the Year Summary:

Looking ahead toward 2015 while the global economy is believed to turn upward, the economic growth rates in European and American

2

nations might increase over the previous years to offset the passive impact of a slow economy in China. In turn, the trade growth throughout the world will be encouraged. Amidst such advantageous incentives, Taiwan should be a beneficiary. Where the Company showed already quite high base in domestic demand consumption and investment in 2014, we expect to outperform 2014 in Year 2015, but not quite significantly.

In regards to real estate markets, some potential buyers returned to the market after the nationwide election was over but amidst numerous variables in government policies notably including taxation reform. The Central Bank governor further reminded potential house buyers about the risks in interest rates, leading to speculation in the markets that interest rate would turn upward before too long. Meanwhile, numerous construction projects were completed heavily, bringing up the supply. The consumption of such buildings so constructed would mean quite a pressure in the real estate markets. In the Company, we anticipate to see these construction projects to be completed and presented to house buyers in 2015: Taipei Prince Fu Project II, Taichung Cloud Century Region A, Hai Yen, Chin /Fon Gin, Tainan Prince Floral Bo Project V and the like.

In respect to outward investments, we should continually operate and manage the hostels and institutions by means of BOT mode to be used as a solid source of income. With hands-on experiences accumulated in W-HOTEL success, we would elaborately map out The Splendor Hotel Taichung which is universally believed as a new fashionable landmark in the future as another brilliant aspect of performance.

III. Prospective Development Strategies of the Company

In the days and years ahead, the real estate markets will be in an era of “brand name wars amidst performances in individual cases”. Our entire team insists on the pursuit of the philosophy of “Three Excellences Amidst Reasonable Prices,” with a firm belief that housing demands are

3

always consistent despite economic variations. Under such a philosophy and belief, we prudentially observe extensive aspects toward varied customer bases and varied locations with efforts made for continued innovations along with convenient science and technology and upgrades in construction quality to enhance our brand names. Through such efforts toward overall resources in combination, we should be able to successfully break through the slow market to make the vision of Prince Housing & Development Corporation more extensive. In the Company, each and every team member firmly dedicates himself or herself to the promise of “refined quality, upgraded services, incessant innovation to create excellent intellectual and healthy houses well worth their value.” With our solid step-by-step efforts, we shall create new enterprises for a blessed lifestyle to be co-shared with our cherished shareholders, employees, customers and the entire society.

The financial statements of these long-term investments and subsidiaries and the information disclosed in Note 13 were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein , is based solely on the reports of the other independent accountants.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial

~55~

statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits and the reports of other independent accountants provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other independent accountants, the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Prince Housing & Development Corp. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and their financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the “Rules Governing the Preparations of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Prince Housing & Development Corp. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2014 and 2013 and have expressed a modified unqualified opinion on such financial statements.

Appendix No. VI REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Prince Housing & Development Corp.

We have audited the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheets of Prince Housing & Development Corp. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and the related non-consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These non-consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these non-consolidated financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of certain long-term investments accounted for using equity method. The long-term investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$1,016,089 thousand and NT$1,038,366 thousand as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, and the share of profit of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method was NT$13,657 thousand and NT$40,149 thousand for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements and the information disclosed in Note13 were audited by other independent accountants whose reports thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants.

We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

~63~

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other independent accountants, the non-consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Prince Housing & Development Corp. as of December 31, 2014 and 2013, and their financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the “Rules Governing the Preparations of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers”.

PricewaterhouseCoopers, Taiwan

March 20, 2015



The accompanying non-consolidated financial statements are not intended to present the financial position and results of operations and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. The standards, procedures and practices in the Republic of China governing the audit of such financial statements may differ from those generally accepted in countries and jurisdictions other than the Republic of China. Accordingly, the accompanying non-consolidated financial statements and report of independent accountants are not intended for use by those who are not informed about the accounting principles or auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, and their applications in practice. As the financial statements are the responsibility of the management, PricewaterhouseCoopers cannot accept any liability for the use of, or reliance on, the English translation or for any errors or misunderstandings that may derive from the translation.
