Business Report
I. Report on the business performance in the preceding fiscal year
Looking back on 2015, while the global economy showed signs of chaotic uncertainty, the United States, Japan, and Europe economy performed stably; however, economic growth was less than satisfactory. China, the emerging economy, and Association of Southeastern Asian Nations (ASEAN) grew at a slowed-down pace, and in fact, entered a recession. In terms of finance, the United States raise interest rates in spite of all the efforts contributed to go the other direction; also, Europe, China, and Japan ad continued to maintain a loose monetary policy. The difference in monetary policy of all the countries involved had resulted in many variables to the financial situation. In terms of domestic market, the momentum of domestic demand was stable; however, export business had been in recession for several consecutive months; therefore, the industry had held a relatively conservative attitude toward the future economy.
In terms of real estate, while facing the excessive supply of real estate for sale, the Central Bank of the ROC (Taiwan) adopted the targeted credit control measures. In addition, a series of negative factors, including a luxury tax and ownership tax, caused the real estate market sales to decline significantly. According to the statistics, the number of buildings sold annually in Taiwan reached a record low of the last 14 year. While facing the “high price, large quantity, multi-tax” dilemma, investors exited the market and the first-time houseowner and the house-owner looking for replacement became the major buyers. The housing market was in recession and the Company had striven cautiously to assess the neighboring areas regularly, to obtain the most accurate market research information, and to continue the good sales with the Metropolitan areas characterized by providing the convenient facilities of life and transportation network. In addition, we worked together to focus on the reinvestment business and to improve the investment profit of construction, real estate, hotel, and BOT dormitories and resorts.
The construction projects completed in current year include: Taipei Prince Fu Project II, Taichung Cloud Century Region A, Hai Yen, Chin Fon Gin, and Tainan Prince Floral Bo Project V. In the entire year, the Company gained operating revenues amounted to NT$8.763 billion, net profit amounted to NT$2.237 billion, consolidated revenues amounted to NT$16.108 billion, and consolidated net profits amounted to NT$2.233 billion.

II. Operating Plans of the Year Summary:
Looking ahead toward 2016 while facing deflation, the global economy is believed to be with limited growth. In terms of the domestic economy, we hope to see the political situation after the elections become stable and the ruling party and opposing party will work together to come up with a new economic policy, including stimulating private consumption, expanding export business, expanding capital investment, attracting capital to return, and improving the employment environment with top priority. Taiwan must move forward and the government administration, new and old, should work together to maintain economic stability, to revitalize the market, and to keep the country out moving forward.
In regards to real estate markets, the introduction of the integrated property tax and land tax in 2016 has caused the luxury tax to be cancelled. The incentive of construction capacity will be initiated starting from this July; however, if builders rush to have new buildings market launched, a fear of supply and demand imbalance in the housing market will come true and the real estate market will take a downturn. In the Company, we anticipate to see these construction projects to be completed and presented to house buyers in 2016: Taipei Prince Yuan-Ding, Taichung Cloud Century Region A, and Kaohsiung Prince Cloud Region D. In addition, the reinvestment in hotels and inns and investment in real estate will be with a stable revenue and profit maintained.
III. Prospective Development Strategies of the Company
Effective cost control, prudent investment decision-making, and talents incubation are the three arrows of the Company used against the housing market downturn. Time changes, technology advances, and the Company repeatedly thinks about innovation with a smart technology and health home cloud service promoted that will be extended to food, clothing, shelter, and transportation service functions in the future in order to create a peace-of-mind, safe, and happy houses that have the name of Prince Housing & Development Corp., come to the mind of buyers when they are buying a house.

We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for using equity method. The share of profit (loss) of associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 was (NT$71,792) thousand and (NT$3,185) thousand, respectively, and the balance of these investments was NT$575,543 thousand and NT$719,679 thousand as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively.

The financial statements of these 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 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 and the reports of other independent accountants provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
~42~
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports 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, 2015 and 2014, and their financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the “Rules Governing the Preparation 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.

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTD TRANSLATES FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Prince Housing & Development Corp.
We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Prince Housing & Development Corp. as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These parent company only financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these parent company only financial statements based on our audits. We did not audit the financial statements of certain investments accounted for using equity method. The investments accounted for using equity method amounted to NT$979,024 thousand and NT$1,016,089 thousand as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and the share of profit (loss) of subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures accounted for using equity method was (NT$27,182) thousand and NT$13,657 thousand for the years then ended, respectively. Those financial statements 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 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 and the reports of the other independent accountants provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
~50~
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, the parent company only 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, 2015 and 2014, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers”.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------The accompanying parent company only 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.
