Annex 1

Business Report

1. 2017 Business Report

In 2017 the black swan effect persisted as witnessed by examples including Donald Trump’s US presidency, the UK’s Brexit procedure and so on. Each of them shocked the global financial market. Fortunately, as the worst scenario has gone, market pessimism gradually faded out, and market confidence recovered.

In the realty market, anxiety was gradually moderated as expedited by the dilution of the effect of combined property (land and building) taxes and emergence of deferred buying orders. Adhering to the “three goods and fair price” founding spirit and business philosophy inspired by former UK PM Churchill: “We shape our buildings, and afterwards our buildings shape us,” we continue to launch projects in northern, central and southern Taiwan and maintain housing quality control for residents. While air pollution has been deteriorating recently, we continuously develop and use new testing instruments for and in each construction projects, vowing to build smart and secure housing. In addition, as profits from re-investments over the past decade or so gradually emerged, equity comes in steadily every year.

Projects completed in 2017 included: Prince Shin-Yi in and Price Fu III in Taipei and Prince Cloud in Kaohsiung. In 2017, the annual revenue was NT$5.734 billion and the net profit of the period was NT$1.281 billion; the consolidated revenue was NT$10.988 billion and the consolidated net profit was NT$1.264 billion.

2. Summary of the Current Business Plan

Looking into 2018, we should not overlook black swans at all times. While the trend of interest rate is the biggest black swan and the change in the low interest environment, the pressure from interest rise will gradually come to keep pace with the foreign countries. Along with the restless cross-strait relations and the “nine-in-one election” which is considered as the probe of the 2020 presidential elections, tough challenges are standing in the way of overall economic development.

In the realty market, as the three intervening factors: new canopy (rain shade) policy, nine-in-one election at the end of the year, and the interest trends of the Central Bank, the V-shape reversion of the reality market is far from expectation. However, the effect of the Taichung railway elevation project, the trial operations of the Taichung Metro Green Line, and the new Taichung Metro Orange Line (Port of Taichung to Taichung Airport) can help boost domestic demands and spur regional benefits to energize peripheral realty markets. Furthermore, as many counties and cities reduce the assessed present value and government assessed land value, this can effectively alleviate housing purchase burdens and stimulate purchase. Projects to be completed in 2018 include: Prince Hua-Wei in Taipei; Prince Yu Ding, W Epoch, Prince County and Prince Hsin Fu in Taichung; Prince Jum Fon Huei and Prince Win2 Future in Tainan; and Prince Cloud Zone C in Kaohsiung. In the re-investment, apart from continuously optimizing suite and house operations, we will integrate the marketing channels of Prince hotels to create topics in the business to bolster business performance.

3. Future Development Strategy

In view of the rise of “smart housing and healthy housing,” we will follow this trend and engage in active branding to make innovation and keep pace with the time, courageously challenge changes in the macro environment, enforce smart and healthy housing, and continue technology development innovation with the academe, in order to keep our 45-year-old brand glowing and shining. As 2018 is the year of the dog in Chinese zodiac and earth in the five elements, this is the year for local dogs, and we are sure that it will be favorable to the overall realty market.

Annex 3

CPA Audit Report

(107) Cai-Sheng-Bao-Zi No. 17003777

Prince Housing & Development Corporation

Audit Opinion

We have audited the accompanying Consolidated Statement of Financial Position of Prince Housing & Development Corporation and subsidiaries (hereinafter referred to as the “Group”) for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and the related Consolidated Statement of Comprehensive Income, Consolidated Statement of Changes in Equity, and Consolidated Statement of Cash Flow, and the note (including a summary of important accounting policies) of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

In our opinion, with respect to our audit results and the reports (please refer to the Others section) of other independent accountants, the important issues in the said consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, interpretations, and interpretations approved by FSC, and such statements can fairly disclose the consolidated financial position of Prince Housing & Development Corporation as of December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016, and its consolidated financial performance and cash flows of Prince Housing & Development Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Basis of Audit

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) of the Republic of China. Our role and responsibility under such regulations and principles will be elaborated in the Responsibility for CPA Audit of Consolidated Financial Statements. In accordance with the independent requirements of the firm, we have required staff to maintained independence from Prince Housing & Development Corporation and carried out their duties with respect to The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China. We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Key Audit Items

Key audit items refer to the professional judgement of auditing the most important items in the 2017 Consolidated Financial Statement of Group. While such items have been addressed when auditing the overall consolidated financial statements and the formation opinions, we will not express opinions on any particular items.

The key audit items of the Group’s 2017 consolidated financial statements are as follows:

9

Recognition time point of realty sale revenue

Description

Please refer to item (30) in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the accounting policy of sales income and item (26) in Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the description of accounting items. The 2017 revenue from realty sale of the Group was NT$5,741,984,000, commanding at 52.25% of the consolidated revenue.

Sales revenues of the Group were recognized after transferring into costs and recognizing as profit/loss after the ownership transfer and the actual handover of property. As properties are sold to individual buyers, the accounting workflow often involves various handbook operating procedures including the transfer of ownership transfer and handover data among departments. This results in the appropriate time point of recognition near the closing date of the financial report period. Hence, we have set the recognition time point of sales revenues as one of the important audit items.

Responsive Audit Procedures

In response to the said key audit items, we have implemented the following responsive procedures:

  1. To discern and assess the internal control procedures for the management’s recognition of revenue from realty sale; and to test if the process of recognition time point of realty sale is effectively implemented, including cross-examining the dates of ownership transfer and handover and the accuracy of accounting time point.

  2. A cut-off test was conducted on the realty sale conducted within a particular period before and after the closing date of near the end of the financial report period. The test included cross-examining evidence including the land and building registration transcripts, realty deeds, and handover agreements signed by customers to verify if the revenue from realty sale was registered at the appropriate time.

Recognition of revenues from construction projects—Assessment of completion schedule

Description

Please refer to items (13) and (30) in Note 4 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the accounting policy for construction agreement and revenue recognition and items (26) in Note 6 of the Consolidated Financial Statements for the description of accounting items. The 2017 revenue from construction of the Group was NT$1,332,679,000, commanding at 12.13% of the consolidated revenue.

The revenues of the construction service offered by the Group are recognized according to the status of completion during the contract period. The status of completion has been calculated according to the percentage in the estimated total construction cost of the incurred cost by the closing date of financial report period of each project. The estimated total construction cost is based on the cost breakdown sheet produced according to the owner’s master design drawings and in consideration of increase or decrease of construction quantity resulted from an engineering change and the construction price and cost indices to estimate the costs invested in an outsourced contract, including labor and materials.

Due to the complexity of items for estimating the said total costs and frequent subjective judgments, high uncertainties are common, and the estimation of the total cost will affect the status of completion

10

and the recognition of revenue from construction. Hence, we have set the estimation of the status of completion as one of the important items for auditing the Group’s revenue from construction.

Responsive Audit Procedures

In response to the said key audit items, we have implemented the following responsive procedures:

  1. To discern the nature of operations and industry of the Group; assess the fairness of the internal operating procedures for estimating the total construction cost, including the procedures for determining the labor and material costs of individual project items; and examine the consistency of the estimation method.

  2. To assess and test the internal control procedures affecting the change in the estimation of the total cost, including cross-examining the evidence regarding the increase or decrease of project items and important project estimates.

  3. To interview supervisors and other appropriate staff for projects still under progress during the interview.

  4. To obtain the profit and loss statement to implement related empirical procedures, including spot check of costs incurred in the period with the appropriate receipts (vouchers), spot check of the increase or decrease of project items with related evidence, and re-check of the percentage of project completion.

Others: Audits of other accountants

The financial reports of some subsidiaries and investments accounted for under the equity method included in the Group’s Consolidated Financial Statement were audited by other accountants. Hence, the opinions we expressed in the said Consolidated Financial Statement for the amounts listed in the financial statements of such companies has been made in accordance with the audit reports of other accountants. The total amount of the said assets (including investments accounted for under the equity method) for years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was NT$580,967,000 and NT$1,497,276,000, commanding at 1.16% and 2.92% of the total amount of consolidated assets, respectively. The net revenues for years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 were NT$418,000 and NT$599,445,000 representing 0% and 4.97% of the total amount of consolidated net revenues, respectively. The amount of the consolidated profit and loss recognized as investments accounted for under the equity method for years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was NT$21,888,000 and NT$44,904,000, representing 1.87% and 3.62% of the total amount of consolidated profit and loss, respectively.

Others: Individual Financial Statements

The Group has produced the individual financial statements for 2017 and 2016. We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion for the financial statements of Prince Housing & Development Corporation for the years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

11

Responsibility for the Consolidated Financial Statements of the Management and Governance Units

It is management’s responsibility to produce fairly expressed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, interpretations, and interpretations approved by FSC and to maintain the necessary internal controls relating to the production of such consolidated financial statements in order to ensure that no significant, untrue expressions as a result of corruption or errors are found in the consolidated financial statements.

When producing consolidated financial statements, it is also the management’s responsibility to assess the Group’s capacity to maintain business continuity, disclosure of related information, and choice of accounting basis for business continuity, except when the Group intends to liquidate or shut down operations, or there is no other feasible alternative other than liquidation or closure.

It is the responsibility of the Group’s governance units (including the Audit Committee) to supervise the workflow of financial reporting.

Accountant’s responsibility for auditing consolidated financial statements

It is our responsibility to audit the Group’s consolidated financial statements to provide reasonable assurance in an audit report that no significant, untrue expression as a result of corruption or errors is found in such consolidated financial statements. Reasonable assurance refers to high assurance. However, the detection of significant, untrue expressions in the consolidated financial statements is not guaranteed when audits are implemented based on the GAAP of the Republic of China. Untrue expression as a result of corruption or errors Untrue expressions of individual amounts or sums are significant when they can reasonably affect the economic policy made by the users off consolidated financial statements.

When auditing based on the GAAP of the Republic of China, we have applied professional judgments and maintained professional doubts. Other tasks of accountants

  1. To identify and assess significant, untrue expressions of risks as a result of corruption or errors in consolidated financial statements; to plan and implement appropriate countermeasures for the risks assessed; and obtain adequate and appropriate audit evidence as the basis for making audit expressions. While corruption may involve collusions, forgeries, willful omissions, untrue declarations, or overstep of internal controls, the risk caused by significant, untrue expressions as a result of corruption is higher than that of errors.

  2. To understand internal controls required for audits in order to design audit procedures appropriate to the situation of audit, provided that such an understanding does not intend to express opinions on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal controls.

  3. To assess the suitability of the accounting policy adopted by the management and the fairness of its accounting estimation and related disclosures.

  4. To conclude if there are significant uncertainties regarding the suitability of the accounting basis adopted by the management to maintain business continuity and the potential significant doubtful incidents or situations within the Group’s capacity to maintain business continuity based on the obtained audit evidence. After determining that there are significant uncertainties in such incidents or situations, we shall remind in the audit report the users of such consolidated financial

12

statements to pay attention to related disclosures in such consolidated financial statements, or shall we express a modified opinion where such disclosures are inappropriate. We have made conclusions based on the audit basis obtained by the audit report date. However, future incidents or situations may incapacitate the Group from business continuity.

  1. To assess the overall expression, structure and contents of consolidated financial statements (including related notes) and the fair expression of related transactions and incidents in such consolidated financial statements.

  2. To gather adequate and suitable audit evidence of the financial information of individuals within the Group to express opinions on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible to instruct, supervise and implement the audit of the Group and conclude the audit opinions on the Group.

We have communicated the government units on items including the scope and time planned for the audit and important audit findings (including the significant defects identified through internal control during the audit).

We have also provided the governance units with the statement of independence of our staff made in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China. We have also communicated with the governance units on the relations and other items (including related protective measures) that may affect the independence of accountants.

We have determined the key audit items of the Group’s 2017 Consolidated Financial Statements based on the communication items with the governance units. We have also specified in the audit report that we will not communicate specific items in the audit report when there are reasons to believe that such communication may cause negative impacts more than positive public interest, except for specific items not allowed for disclosures by law or under extremely rare circumstances.

Basis of Audit

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (GAAP) of the Republic of China. Our role and responsibility under such regulations and principles will be elaborated in the Responsibility for CPA Audit of Consolidated Financial Statements. In accordance with the independence requirements of the firm, we have required staff to maintained independence from Prince Housing & Development Corporation and carried out their duties with respect to The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China. We believe that our audits and the reports of other auditors provide a reasonable basis for our opinions.

Key Audit Items

Key audit items refer to the professional judgement of auditing the most important items in the 2017 Individual Financial Statement of Prince Housing & Development Corporation. While such items have been addressed when auditing the overall individual financial statements and the formation opinions, we will not express opinions on any particular items.

The key audit items of the individual financial statements of Prince Housing & Development Corporation are as follows:

Recognition time point of realty sale revenue

Description

Please refer to item (29) in Note 4 of the Individual Financial Statements for the accounting policy of sales income and item (25) in Note 6 of the Individual Financial Statements for the

25

description of accounting items. The 2017 revenue from realty sale of Prince Housing & Development Corporation was NT$4,994,154,000, commanding at 87% of the revenues.

Sales revenue of Prince Housing & Development Corporation was recognized after transferring into costs and recognizing as profit/loss after the ownership transfer and the actual handover of property. As property of Prince Housing & Development Corporation are sold to individual buyers, the accounting workflow often involves various handbook operating procedures including the transfer of ownership transfer and handover data among departments. This results in the appropriate time point of recognition near the closing date of the financial report period. Hence, we have set the recognition time point of sales revenues as one of the important audit items.

Responsive Audit Procedures

In response to the said key audit items, we have implemented the following responsive procedures:

  1. To discern and assess the internal control procedures for the management’s recognition of revenue from realty sale; and to test if the process of recognition time point of realty sale is effectively implemented, including cross-examining the dates of ownership transfer and handover and the accuracy of accounting time point.

  2. A cut-off test was conducted on the realty sale conducted within a particular period before and after the closing date of near the end of the financial report period. The test included cross-examining evidence including the land and building registration transcripts, realty deeds, and handover agreements signed by customers to verify if the revenue from realty sale was registered at the appropriate time.

Investments accounted for under the equity method: The income from construction projects is recognized by assessing the percentage of completion of projects undertaken by Ta Cheng Construction and Engineering Corporation, a subsidiary in possession of subsidiary Honesty Investment Holdings Co., Ltd.

Description

Please refer to item 13 of Note 4 of the Individual Financial Statements for the accounting policy of investments accounted for under the equity method and item 9 of Note 6 for the description off accounting items.

While Ta Cheng Construction and Engineering Corporation is an important subsidiary of Prince Housing & Development Corporation invested via subsidiary Honesty Investment Holdings Co., Ltd., the financial performance of Ta Cheng Construction and Engineering has important influence on the financial statements of Prince Housing & Development Corporation.

The revenue of the construction service offered by Ta Cheng Construction and Engineering is recognized according to the status of completion during the contract period. The status of completion has been calculated according to the percentage in the estimated total construction cost of the incurred cost by the closing date of financial report period of each project. The estimated total construction cost is based on the cost breakdown sheet produced according to the owner’s master design drawings and in consideration of increase or decrease of construction quantity resulted from an engineering change and the construction price and cost indices to estimate the costs invested in an outsourced contract, including labor and materials.

Due to the complexity of items for estimating the said total costs and frequent subjective judgments, high uncertainties are common, and the estimation of the total cost will affect the status of completion

26

and the recognition of revenue from construction. Hence, we have set the estimation of the status of completion as one of the important items for auditing the revenue from construction of Ta Cheng Construction and Engineering.

27

Responsive Audit Procedures

In response to the said key audit items, we have implemented the following responsive procedures:

  1. To discern the nature of operations and industry of Ta Cheng Construction and Engineering; assess the fairness of the internal operating procedures for estimating the total construction cost, including the procedures for determining the labor and material costs of individual project items; and examine the consistency of the estimation method.

  2. To assess and test the internal control procedures affecting the change in the estimation of the total cost of Ta Cheng Construction and Engineering, including cross-examining the evidence regarding the increase or decrease of project items and important project estimates.

  3. To interview supervisors and other appropriate staff of Ta Cheng Construction and Engineering for projects still under progress during the interview.

  4. To obtain the profit and loss statement of Ta Cheng Construction and Engineering to implement related empirical procedures, including spot check of costs incurred in the period with the appropriate receipts (vouchers), spot check of the increase or decrease of project items with related evidence, and re-check of the percentage of project completion.

Others: Audits of other accountants

The financial reports of investments accounted for under the equity method included in the Individual Financial Statement of Prince Housing & Development Corporation not audited by this firm were audited by other accountants. Hence, the opinion we express in the said Individual Financial Statement for the amounts listed in the financial statements of such companies has been made in accordance with the audit reports of other accountants. The total amount of the said investments accounted for under the equity method for years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was NT$147,765,000 and NT$897,432,000, commanding at 0.34% and 2.06% of the total amount of individual assets, respectively. The comprehensive income recognized by the same company for years ended December 31, 2017 and December 31, 2016 was NT$650,000 and NT$82,591,000, representing 0% and 6.60% of the total amount of comprehensive income, respectively.

Responsibility for the Individual Financial Statements of the Management and Governance Units

It is the management’s responsibility to produce fairly expressed individual financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and to maintain the necessary internal controls relating to the production of such individual financial statements in order to ensure that no significant, untrue expression as a result of corruption or errors is found in individual financial statements.

When producing individual financial statements, it is also the management’s responsibility to assess the capacity to maintain business continuity, disclosure of related information, and choice of accounting basis for business continuity of Prince Housing & Development Corporation, except when Prince Housing & Development Corporation intends to liquidate or shut down operations, or there is no other feasible alternative other than liquidation or closure.

It is the responsibility of the governance units (including the Audit Committee) of Prince Housing & Development Corporation to supervise the workflow of financial reporting.

28

Accountant’s responsibility for auditing individual financial statements

It is our responsibility to audit the individual financial statements of Prince Housing & Development Corporation to provide reasonable assurance in an audit report that no significant, untrue expression as a result of corruption or errors is found in such individual financial statements.

Reasonable assurance refers to high assurance. However, the detection of significant, untrue expressions in the individual financial statements is not guaranteed when audits are implemented based on the GAAP of the Republic of China. Untrue expression as a result of corruption or errors Untrue expressions of individual amounts or sums are significant when they can reasonably affect the economic policy made by the users off consolidated financial statements.

When auditing based on the GAAP of the Republic of China, we have applied professional judgments and maintained professional

doubts. Other tasks of accountants

  1. To identify and assess significant, untrue expressions of risks as a result of corruption or errors in individual financial statements; to plan and implement appropriate countermeasures for the risks assessed; and obtain adequate and appropriate audit evidence as the basis for making audit expressions. While corruption may involve collusions, forgeries, willful omissions, untrue declarations, or overstep of internal controls, the risk caused by significant, untrue expressions as a result of corruption is higher than that of errors.

  2. To understand internal controls required for audits in order to design audit procedures appropriate to the situation of audit, provided that such an understanding does not intend to express opinions on the effectiveness of the internal controls of Prince Housing & Development Corporation.

  3. To assess the suitability of the accounting policy adopted by the management and the fairness of its accounting estimation and related disclosures.

  4. To conclude if there are significant uncertainties regarding the suitability of the accounting basis adopted by the management to maintain business continuity and the potential significant doubtful incidents or situations within the capacity to maintain business continuity of Prince Housing & Development Corporation based on the obtained audit evidence. After determining that there are significant uncertainties in such incidents or situations, we shall remind in the audit report the users of such individual financial statements to pay attention to related disclosures in such individual financial statements, or shall we express a modified opinion where such disclosures are inappropriate. We have made conclusions based on the audit basis obtained by the audit report date. However, future incidents or situations may incapacitate Prince Housing & Development Corporation from business continuity.

  5. To assess the overall expression, structure and contents of individual financial statements (including related note) and the fair expression of related transactions and incidents in such individual financial statements.

  6. To gather adequate and suitable audit evidence of the financial information of individuals within Prince Housing & Development Corporation to express opinions on the individual financial statements. We are responsible to instruct, supervise and implement the audit of Prince Housing &

29

Development Corporation and conclude the audit opinions on the company

We have communicated the government units on items including the scope and time planned for the audit and important audit findings (including the significant defects identified through internal control during the audit).

30

We have also provided the governance units with the statement of independence of our staff made in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China. We have also communicated with the governance units on the relations and other items (including related protective measures) that may affect the independence of accountants.

We have determined the key audit items of the 2017 Individual Financial Statements of Prince Housing & Development Corporation based on the communication items with the governance units. We have also specified in the audit report that we will not communicate specific items in the audit report when there are reasons to believe that such communication may cause negative impacts more than positive public interest, except for specific items not allowed for disclosures by law or under extremely rare circumstances.
