REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE

PWCR 16000394

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

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Prince Housing & Development Corp. and its subsidiaries (the "Group") as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, based on our audits and the report of other independent accountants (please refer to the "other matter" section of our report), the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparations of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

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 (ROC GAAS). Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditor's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with the Code of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in the Republic of China (the "Code"), and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with the Code. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained and the report of other independent accountants are sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

The accuracy of building and land sales revenue recognition timing

Description

Please refer to Note 4(30) for accounting policies on sales revenue, and Note 6(26) for details. For the year ended December 31, 2016, building and land sales revenue amounted to NT\$ 5,274,930 thousand, representing 43.74% of consolidated operating revenue.

The Group recognises building and land sales revenue and profit or loss when transferring ownership and handing over the property. Since to the Group has diverse customers, the information delivery and recording process between segments in the Group usually involved manual work, and thus may result in inappropriate timing of revenue recognition around the balance sheet date. Considering that the building and land sales revenue form most of the Group's operating revenue, we identified the accuracy of building and land sales revenue recognition timing as a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  • A. We obtained an understanding and assessed the reasonableness of internal controls on building and land sales revenue, and tested whether the process of building and land sales revenue recognition timing had been executed effectively, including verifying documents related to the date of ownership transfer and property handover and the accuracy of recognition timing; and
  • B. We performed cut-off test on building and land transactions around the end of the reporting period. including verifying land registration, house ownership certificate and customer signed receipts for handing over of property to confirm the building and land sales revenue recognition timing was adequate.

Recognition of construction revenue- the stage of completion estimate Description

Please refer to Note 4(13) and (30) for accounting policies on construction contracts and revenue recognition, and Note 6(26) for details. For the year ended December 31, 2016, construction revenue amounted to NT\$ 2,781,948 thousand, representing 23.07% of consolidated operating revenue.

The Group provided property construction related services. During the duration of a contract, the recognition of revenue is based on the stage of completion of a contract. The stage of completion is determined by reference to the contract costs incurred to date and the proportion that contract costs incurred for work performed to date compared to the estimated total contract costs. Aforementioned estimated total contract costs were based on contract budget details compiled by owner's design drawing, considering the changes in construction scaled caused by additional or less work, and the price fluctuations in the recent market to estimate the contract work, overhead and relevant costs.

As the complexity of aforementioned total cost usually involves subjective judgment and contains a high degree of uncertainty, and the estimate of total cost affects the stage of completion and the recognition of construction revenue, thus we consider the reasonableness of the stage of completion which was applied on construction revenue recognition a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  • A. We obtained an understanding of the nature of business and industry of the Group and assessed the reasonableness of internal process of estimating total construction cost, including the unit of calculation of owner's design drawing, the procedure of estimating each construction cost and overhead, and the consistency of applying the estimation method;
  • $Br$ We assessed and tested the internal controls which would affect the changes of estimated total cost, including verifying the evidence of additional or less work and constructions.
  • C. We inspected the constructing site accompanied by the supervisor and other appropriate staff at the end of the reporting period to assess the reasonableness of the stage of completion method result.

D. We obtained details of construction profit or loss and performed substantive procedures, including randomly checking the incurred cost of current period with the appropriate evidence, and additional or less work with the supporting documents, and recalculated the stage of completion.

Other matter $-Scope$ of the Audit

We did not audit the financial statements of a wholly-owned consolidated subsidiary and investments recognized under the equity method that are included in the financial statements. Total assets (including investments accounted for under equity method) of NT\$ 1,497,276 thousand and NT\$ 1,843,945 thousand as at December 31, 2016 and 2015, constituted 2.92% and 3.38% of consolidated total assets. Operating income of NT\$ 599,445 thousand and NT\$ 534,463 thousand, for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, constituted 4.97% and 3.32% of consolidated total operating income; comprehensive income accounted for under equity method of NT\$ 44,904 thousand and NT\$ (71,792) thousand for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, constituted 3.62% and (3.28%) of consolidated total comprehensive income, respectively. Those financial statements were audited by other independent accountants whose report thereon have been furnished to us, and our opinion expressed herein is based solely on the audit reports of the other independent accountants.

Other matter – Parent company only financial reports

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Prince Housing & Development Corp. as at and for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the consolidated financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the "Regulations Governing the Preparations of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers" and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group's ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.

Auditor's 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 misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditor's report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with ROC GAAS will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. 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 consolidated financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with ROC GAAS, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, $A_{\cdot}$ whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
  • B. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group's internal control.
  • $C_{\cdot}$ Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  • D. Conclude on the appropriateness of 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 the Group's ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditor's report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditor's report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  • $E_{\cdot}$ Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
  • $F_{-}$ Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditor's report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in 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.

Except for the following, the above standards and interpretations have no significant impact to the Group's financial condition and operating result based on the Group's assessment. The quantitative impact will be disclosed when the assessment is complete.

  • A. IFRS 9, 'Financial instruments'
  • (a) Classification of debt instruments is driven by the entity's business model and the contractual cash flow characteristics of the financial assets, which would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, financial asset measured at fair value through other comprehensive income or financial asset measured at amortised cost. Equity instruments would be classified as financial asset at fair value through profit or loss, unless an entity makes an irrevocable election at inception to present in other comprehensive income subsequent changes in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument that is not held for trading.
  • (b) The impairment losses of debt instruments are assessed using an 'expected credit loss' approach. An entity assesses at each balance sheet date whether there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition to recognise 12-month expected credit losses ('ECL') or lifetime ECL (interest revenue would be calculated on the gross carrying amount of the asset before impairment losses occurred); or if the instrument that has objective evidence of impairment, interest revenue after the impairment would be calculated on the book value of net carrying amount (i.e. net of credit allowance). The Company shall always measure the loss allowance at an amount equal to lifetime expected credit losses for trade receivables that do not contain a significant financing component.
  • B. IFRS 15 'Revenue from contracts with customers'

IFRS 15 'Revenue from contracts with customers' replaces IAS 11 'Construction contracts', IAS 18 'Revenue' and relevant interpretations. According to IFRS 15, revenue is recognised when a customer obtains control of promised goods or services. A customer obtains control of goods or services when a customer has the ability to direct the use of, and obtain substantially all of the remaining benefits from, the asset.

The core principle of IFRS 15 is that an entity recognises revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. An entity recognises revenue in accordance with that core principle by applying the following steps:

Step 1: Identify contracts with customer.

  • Step 2: Identify separate performance obligations in the contract(s).
  • Step 3: Determine the transaction price.
  • Step 4: Allocate the transaction price.

Step 5: Recognise revenue when the performance obligation is satisfied.

Further, IFRS 15 includes a set of comprehensive disclosure requirements that requires an entity to disclose sufficient information to enable users of financial statements to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers.

C. IFRS 16, 'Leases'

IFRS 16, 'Leases', replaces IAS 17, 'Leases' and related interpretations and SICs. The standard requires lessees to recognise a 'right-of-use asset' and a lease liability (except for those leases with terms of 12 months or less and leases of low-value assets). The accounting stays the same for lessors, which is to classify their leases as either finance leases or operating leases and account for those two types of leases differently. IFRS 16 only requires enhanced disclosures to be provided by lessors.

D. Amendments to IAS 40, 'Transfers of investment property'

The amendment clarified that to transfer to, or from, investment properties there must be a change in use. A change in use occurs when the property meets, or ceases to meet, the definition of investment property and there is evidence of the change in use. A change in management's intentions, in isolation, does not provide evidence of the change in use. In addition, the amendments added examples for the evidence of a change in use. The examples include assets under construction or development (not completed properties) transfer from investment property to owner-occupied property at commencement of development with a view to owner-occupation and transfer from inventories to investment property at inception of an operating lease to another party.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.

(1) Compliance statement

The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the "Rules" Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers", International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the "IFRSs").

  • (2) Basis of preparation
  • A. Except for the following items, these consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:

    • (a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
    • (b) Available-for-sale financial assets measured at fair value.
  • (c)Defined benefit liabilities recognized based on the net amount of pension fund assets less unrecognized actuarial gains and present value of defined benefit obligation.

  • B. 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 areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

(3) Basis of consolidation

  • A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
  • (a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group's consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured 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.
  • (b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised 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.
  • (c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the noncontrolling interests having a deficit balance.
  • (d) 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 accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.
  • (e) When the Group loses control of a subsidiary, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised 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 related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Group loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.

  • D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.
  • E. Significant restrictions: None.
  • F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group:

(4) 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 (the "functional currency"). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan dollars, which is the Company's functional and the Group's presentation currency.

A. Foreign currency transactions and balances

  • (a) 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 recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
  • (b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are retranslated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
  • (c) 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 recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary 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 recognised 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.
  • (d) All foreign exchange gains and losses are presented in the statement of comprehensive income within 'other gains and losses'.
  • B. Translation of foreign operations
  • (a) The operating results and financial position of all the group entities, associates and joint arrangements that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:

    • i. Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
    • ii. Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
    • iii. All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
  • (b) When the foreign operation partially disposed of or sold is an associate or joint arrangements. exchange differences that were recorded in other comprehensive income are proportionately reclassified to profit or loss as part of the gain or loss on sale. In addition, even the Group still retains partial interest in the former foreign associate or joint arrangements after losing significant influence over the former foreign associate, or losing joint control of the former joint arrangements, such transactions should be accounted for as disposal of all interest in these foreign operations.

  • (c) 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 the Group still 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.
  • (5) Classification of current and non-current items
  • A. If assets and liabilities are related to the construction business, they are classified as current or non-current according to their operating cycles; if they are not related to the construction business, they are classified by annual basis.
  • B. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
    • (a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
    • (b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
    • (c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
    • (d) 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.
  • C. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
    • (a) Liabilities that are expected to be settled within the normal operating cycle;
    • (b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
    • (c) Liabilities that are to be settled within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
    • (d) 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.

$(6)$ 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 mature within three months and bonds with call back options meet the definition above and are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments in operations are classified as cash equivalents.

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

  • A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading. Financial assets are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term.
  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
  • C. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognised in profit or loss.

(8) Available-for-sale financial assets

  • A. Available-for-sale financial assets are non-derivatives that are either designated in this category or not classified in any of the other categories.
  • B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, available-for-sale financial assets are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
  • C. Available-for-sale financial assets are initially recognised at fair value plus transaction costs. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognised in other comprehensive income. Investments in equity instruments that do not have a quoted market price in an active market and whose fair value cannot be reliably measured or derivatives that are linked to and must be settled by delivery of such unquoted equity instruments are presented in 'financial assets measured at cost'.

(9) Receivables

Accounts receivable are loans and receivables originated by the entity. They are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(10) Impairment of financial assets

A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a 'loss event') and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.

  • B. The criteria that the Group uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of an impairment loss is as follows:
  • (a) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor;
  • (b) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinguency in interest or principal payments;
  • (c) The disappearance of an active market for that financial asset because of financial difficulties;
  • (d) It becomes probable that the borrower will enter bankruptcy or other financial reorganisation;
  • (e) Observable data indicating that there is a measurable decrease in the estimated future cash flows from a group of financial assets since the initial recognition of those assets, although the decrease cannot yet be identified with the individual financial asset in the group, including adverse changes in the payment status of borrowers in the group or national or local economic conditions that correlate with defaults on the assets in the group;
  • (f) Information about significant changes with an adverse effect that have taken place in the technology, market, economic or legal environment in which the issuer operates, and indicates that the cost of the investment in the equity instrument may not be recovered; or a significant or prolonged decline in the fair value of an investment in an equity instrument below its cost.
  • C. When the Group assesses that there has been objective evidence of impairment and an impairment loss has occurred, accounting for impairment is made as follows according to the category of financial assets:
  • (a) Financial assets measured at amortised cost

The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset's original effective interest rate, and is recognised in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognised previously. Impairment loss is recognised and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.

(b) Financial assets measured at cost

The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at current market return rate of similar financial asset, and is recognised in profit or loss. Impairment loss recognised for this category shall not be reversed subsequently. Impairment loss is recognised by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.

(c) Available-for-sale financial assets

The amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset's acquisition cost (less any principal repayment and amortisation) and current fair value, less any impairment loss on that financial asset previously recognised in profit or loss, and is reclassified from 'other comprehensive income' to 'profit or loss'. If, in a subsequent period, the fair value of an investment in a debt instrument increases, and the increase can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, then such impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss of an investment in an equity instrument recognised in profit or loss shall not be reversed through profit or loss. Impairment loss is recognised and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.

(11) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognises a financial asset when one of the following conditions is met:

  • A. The contractual rights to receive the cash flows from the financial asset expire.
  • B. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred and the Group has transferred substantially all risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
  • C. The contractual rights to receive cash flows of the financial asset have been transferred; however, the Group has not retained control of the financial asset.
  • (12) Inventories

Except for gains or losses occurring from construction contracts that are recognised using the percentage of completion method, "land held for construction", "construction in progress", and "buildings and land held for sale" are stated at cost and evaluated at the lower of cost or net realisable value at the end of period. The individual item approach is used in the comparison of cost and net realisable value. The calculation of net realisable value is based on the estimated selling price in the normal course of business, net of estimated costs of completion and related adjusted selling expenses. The interest costs related to construction in progress are capitalised during the construction.

(13) Construction contracts

A. IAS 11, 'Construction Contracts', defines a construction contract as a contract specifically negotiated for the construction of an asset. If the outcome of a construction contract can be estimated reliably and it is probable that this contract would make a profit, contract revenue should be recognised by reference to the stage of completion of the contract activity, using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting, over the contract term. Contract costs are expensed as incurred. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date to the estimated total costs for the contract. An expected loss where total contract costs will exceed total contract revenue on a construction contract should be recognised as an expense as soon as such loss is probable. If the outcome of a construction contract cannot be estimated reliably, contract revenue should be recognised only

to the extent of contract costs incurred that it is probable will be recoverable.

  • B. Contract revenue should include the revenue arising from variations from the original contract work, claims and incentive payments that are agreed by the customer and can be measured reliably.
  • C. The excess of the cumulative costs incurred plus recognised profits (less recognised losses) over the progress billings on each construction contract is presented as an asset within 'receivables from customers on construction contracts'. While, the excess of the progress billings over the cumulative costs incurred plus recognised profits (less recognised losses) on each construction contract is presented as a liability within 'payables to customers on construction contracts'.
  • D. In accordance with IFRIC 15, 'Agreements for the Construction of Real Estate', if the buyer is able to specify the major structural elements of the design of the real estate before construction begins and/or specify major structural changes once construction is in progress, the construction contract meets the definition of construction contract and criteria in IAS 11, 'Construction Contracts'. In accordance with the recognition criteria on the sale of goods as provided in IAS 18, 'Revenue', the Group recognises sales revenue for contracts of pre-selling of buildings that do not meet the definition of construction contracts. For transactions that meet the definition of construction contracts, the Group recognises contract revenue in accordance with IAS 11.
  • (14) Investments accounted for using equity method / associates
  • A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
  • B. The Group's share of its associates' post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Group's share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
  • C. When changes in an associate's equity are not recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group's ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises change in ownership interests in the associate in 'capital surplus' in proportion to its ownership.
  • D. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group's interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
  • E. In the case that an associate issues new shares and the Group does not subscribe or acquire new

shares proportionately, which results in a change in the Group's ownership percentage of the associate but maintains significant influence on the associate, then 'capital surplus' and 'investments accounted for under the equity method' shall be adjusted for the increase or decrease of its share of equity interest. If the above condition causes a decrease in the Group's ownership percentage of the associate, in addition to the above adjustment, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of.

  • F. Upon loss of significant influence over an associate, the Group remeasures any investment retained in the former associate at its fair value. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss.
  • G. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it retains significant influence over this associate, then the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
  • H. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate and loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss. If it retains significant influence over this associate, then the amounts previously recognised as capital surplus in relation to the associate are transferred to profit or loss proportionately.
  • (15) Property, plant and equipment
  • A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalised.
  • B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset's carrying amount or recognised 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 derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
  • C. 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.
  • D. The assets' residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each balance sheet date. 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 lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:

Buildings and structures $50 \sim 60$ years
Machinery and equipment $2 \sim 10$ years
Computer and communication equipment 5 years
Transportation equipment $3 \sim 5$ years
Office equipment $5 \sim 15$ years
Leasehold improvements 5 years
Other equipment $5 \sim 15$ years

(16) Operating leases (lessor/ lessee)

Rental income from operating leases (excluding any benefits provided to lessee) or payments for operating leases (excluding any benefits received from lessor) are recognised as profit or loss for the period over the leasing period on a straight line basis.

(17) Investment property

An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the cost model. Except for land, investment property is depreciated on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of $44 \sim 60$ years.

(18) Intangible assets

Goodwill, patent rights, computer software cost and service concession are stated at acquisition cost and amortised on a straight line basis. The useful life of major intangible assets is $3\neg 5$ years, while service concession is 44 years.

(19) Impairment of non-financial assets

The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised 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. Except for goodwill, when the circumstances or reasons for recognising 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 amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.

  • (20) Borrowings
  • A. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
  • B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the

fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalised as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.

(21) Notes and accounts payable

Notes and accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. However, short-term accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.

(22) Derecognition of financial liabilities

A financial liability is derecognised when the obligation under the liability specified in the contract is discharged or cancelled or expires.

(23) Offsetting financial instruments

Financial assets and liabilities are offset and reported in the net amount in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.

(24) Financial liabilities

Bonds payable

Ordinary corporate bonds issued by the Group are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Ordinary corporate bonds are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is accounted for as the premium or discount on bonds payable and presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortised in profit or loss as an adjustment to the 'finance costs' over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method.

(25) Provisions

Provisions are recognised when the Group has a present legal or constructive obligation as a result of past events, and it is probable that an outflow of economic resources will be required to settle the obligation and the amount of the obligation can be reliably estimated. Provisions are measured at the present value of the expenditures expected to be required to settle the obligation on the balance sheet date, which is discounted using a pre-tax discount rate that reflects the current market assessments of the time value of money and the risks specific to the obligation. When discounting is used, the increase in the provision due to passage of time is recognised as interest expense. Provisions are not recognised for future operating losses.

(26) Employee benefits

A. Short-term employee benefits

Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expenses in that period when the employees render service.

B. Pensions

(a) Defined contribution plans

For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.

  • (b) Defined benefit plans
  • i. Net obligation under a defined benefit plan is defined as the present value of an amount of pension benefits that employees will receive on retirement for their services with the Group in current period. The liability recognised in the balance sheet in respect of defined benefit pension plans is the present value of the defined benefit obligation at the balance sheet date less the fair value of plan assets. The defined benefit net obligation is calculated annually by independent actuaries using the projected unit credit method. The rate used to discount is determined by using interest rates of government bonds (at the balance sheet) of a currency and term consistent with the currency and term of the employment benefit obligations.
  • ii. Remeasurement arising on defined benefit plans are recognised in other comprehensive income in the period in which they arise and are recorded as retained earnings.
  • iii. Past service costs are recognised immediately in profit or loss.
  • C. Employees' compensation and directors' and supervisors' remuneration

Employees' compensation and directors' and supervisors' remuneration are recognised as expenses 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 employee compensation is distributed by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.

  • $(27)$ Income tax
  • A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
  • B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional 10% tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.

  • C. Deferred income tax is recognised, 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. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination 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 associates, 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 realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.

  • D. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
  • E. Current income tax assets and liabilities are offset and the net amount reported in the balance sheet when there is a legally enforceable right to offset the recognised amounts and there is an intention to settle on a net basis or realise 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 realise the asset and settle the liability simultaneously.
  • F. A deferred tax asset shall be recognised for the carryforward of unused tax credits resulting from acquisitions of equipment or technology, research and development expenditures and equity investments to the extent that it is possible that future taxable profit will be available against which the unused tax credits can be utilised.
  • G. Consolidated income tax return for tax filings of certain domestic subsidiaries in the Group accounted for in accordance with individual reporting situations. And subsidiaries have selected the consolidated income tax return for tax filings and pay additional 10% tax on their undistributed retained earnings. If there is any tax effect due to the adoption of the consolidated tax system, the subsidiaries can proportionately allocate the effects on tax expense (benefit), deferred income tax and tax payable (tax refund receivable).
  • (28) Share capital

Ordinary shares are classified as equity. Incremental costs directly attributable to the issue of new shares or stock options are shown in equity as a deduction, net of tax, from the proceeds.

(29) Dividends

Dividends are recorded in the Company's financial statements in the period in which they are resolved by the Company's shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.

  • (30) Revenue recognition
  • A. Sales of goods

The Group handles entrusted construction, sale and lease of public housings and business buildings. Revenue arising from the sales of goods is recognised when the Group has delivered the goods to the customer, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. The delivery of goods is completed when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the Group retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, and the customer has accepted the goods based on the sales contract or there is objective evidence showing that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied. For pre-selling of housing that the Group has entrusted to construction companies to build, as stated in Note 4(13), sales revenue is recognised in accordance with IAS 18, 'Revenue'. Thus, the Group has carried over costs and recognised profit or loss when it completes transfer of title and settlement of housing. Only when housing was actually settled (or only when ownership was transferred) before balance sheet date, and related risk return was transferred would sales revenue be recognised.

B. Sales of services

The Group serves as real estate agency, manages apartment buildings and provides security. Revenue is recognised when transactions of service rendered can be reliably measured and future economic benefit may become inflows to the Group.

  • C. Construction contract revenue Please refer to Note 4(13) for construction contract services provided by the Group.
  • D. Service concession revenue

Please refer to Note 4(31) for service concession contracts provided by the Group.

  • (31) Service concession arrangements
  • A. The Group was contracted by National Taiwan University (grantor) to provide construction for the government's infrastructure assets for public services and operate those assets for Changxing St. Campus for 44 years and 6 months, and for Shuiyuan Campus for 44 years and 4 months after construction is completed. When the term of operating period expires, the underlying infrastructure assets will be transferred to National Taiwan University without consideration. The Group allocates the fair value of the consideration received or receivable in respect of the service concession arrangement between construction services and operating services provided based on their relative fair values, and recognises such allocated amounts as revenues in accordance with IAS 11, 'Construction Contracts', and IAS 18, 'Revenue', respectively.
  • B. Costs incurred on provision of construction services or upgrading services under a service concession arrangement are accounted for in accordance with IAS 11, 'Construction Contracts'.
  • C. The consideration received or receivable from the grantor in respect of the service concession

arrangement is recognised at its fair value. Such considerations are recognised as an intangible asset based on how the considerations from the grantor to the operator are made as specified in the arrangement.

(32) Operating segments

Operating segments are reported in a manner consistent with the internal reporting provided to the Chief Operating Decision-Maker. The Chief Operating Decision-Maker is responsible for allocating resources and assessing performance of the operating segments.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF

ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates are continually evaluated and adjusted based on historical experience and other factors. Such assumptions and estimates have a significant risk of causing a material adjustment to the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities within the next financial year. The above information is addressed below:

(1) Critical judgements in applying the Group's accounting policies

A. Financial assets—impairment of equity investments

The Group follows the guidance of IAS 39 to determine whether a financial asset—equity investment is impaired. This determination requires significant judgement. In making this judgement, the Group evaluates, among other factors, the duration and extent to which the fair value of an equity investment is less than its cost and the financial health of and short-term business outlook for the investee, including factors such as industry and sector performance, changes in technology and operational and financing cash flow.

If the decline of the fair value of an individual equity investment below cost was considered significant or prolonged, the Group would suffer an additional loss in its financial statements, being the transfer of the accumulated fair value adjustments recognised in other comprehensive income on the impaired available-for-sale financial assets to profit or loss or being the recognition of the impairment loss on the impaired financial assets measured at cost in profit or loss.

B. Investment property

The Group uses a portion of the property for its own use and another portion to earn rentals or for capital appreciation. When these portions cannot be sold separately and cannot be leased out separately under a finance lease, the property is classified as investment property only if the ownuse portion accounts for insignificant portion of the property.

(2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions

Revenue recognition

Construction revenue should be recognised by reference to the stage of completion in the contract period using the percentage of completion method. Construction costs are recognised in the incurred period. The stage of completion of a contract is measured by the proportion of contract costs incurred for work performed to date bear to the estimated total contract costs.

$(20)$ Pension

A.(a) The Company and its domestic subsidiaries have a defined benefit pension plan in accordance with the Labor Standards Law, 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 to be subject to the pension mechanism under the Law. 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 and its domestic subsidiaries contribute 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 retirement fund committee. Also, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year. If the account balance is insufficient to pay the pension calculated by the aforementioned method to the employees expected to qualify for retirement in the following year, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries will make contributions to cover the deficit by next March.

(b) The amounts recognised in the balance sheet are determined as follows:

December 31, 2016 December 31, 2015
Present value of defined benefit obligation (\$ $202,924)$ (\$ 199,398)
Fair value of plan assets 111,815 58,323

(d) The principal actuarial assumptions used were as follows:

Years ended December 31,
2016 2015
Discount rate $1.20\% \sim 1.40\%$ 1.70%
Future salary increases $1.50\% \sim 2.00\%$ $1.50\% \sim 2.00\%$

Future mortality rate was estimated based on the 5th Taiwan Standard Ordinary Experience Mortality Table.

Because the main actuarial assumption changed, the present value of defined benefit obligation is affected. The analysis was as follows:

The sensitivity analysis above is based on other conditions that are unchanged but only one

assumption is changed. In practice, more than one assumption may change all at once. The method of analysing sensitivity and the method of calculating net pension liability in the balance sheet are the same.

The methods and types of assumptions used in preparing the sensitivity analysis did not change compared to the previous period.

  • (e) Expected contributions to the defined benefit pension plans of the Group for the year ending December 31, 2017 amounts to \$4,843.

  • (16) As of December 31, 2016 and 2015, performance guarantee letters issued for construction undertaking, warranty and leases of subsidiary, Ta-Chen Construction & Engineering Corp., amounted to \$223,564 and \$572,960, respectively.
  • (17) The Subsidiary, Ta-Chen Construction & Engineering Corp. ("Ta-Chen"), Hung-Yi Construction Corp. and Evergreen International Engineering Corp. ("Evergreen") (collectively referred herein as the "joint contractors") jointly undertook the construction of the new office building of the American Institute in Taiwan. As the joint contractors and the owner of this project both claim the counterparty defaulted on the contract, they terminated the contract and referred the dispute to arbitration. A settlement was reached in August 2013, and the joint contractors would together pay a reconciliation payment amounting to US\$16.4 million, which Ta-Chen pays 68.24%. Ta-Chen has estimated and recognized related arbitration expenses, reconciliation payment and construction loss. Furthermore, the settlement agreement between Ta-Chen and the owner, including tax on settlement of \$30,178

paid to the Taxation Bureau on behalf of the owner, has been reached. As 2 years have passed from the application of tax refunds and the probability of tax refund is remote, the related other receivables were written off and loss of \$30,178 was recognised in 2015.

Furthermore, Ta-Chen has paid the settlement on behalf of the joint contractors. Ta-Chen planned to request Evergreen to pay all payments of \$221,100 on behalf of other joint contractors. As the joint contractors have disagreement regarding the contract, Ta-Chen has filed an arbitration application with the Chinese Arbitration Association, Taipei, and received an arbitration award on March 27, 2015 wherein, Evergreen International Engineering shall pay Ta-Chen a total amount of \$169,765 plus interest at 5% per annum from December 17, 2013 until the date of payment. Additionally, on June 15, 2015, the arbitration court corrected the payment to \$201,427. Ta-Chen reached an agreement with Evergreen on June 18, 2015 that Evergreen shall pay \$195,000 and both sides shall withdraw revocation proceedings or application for compulsory enforcement. Therefore, Ta-Chen has written off other receivables and recognized loss of \$26,100 in 2015.

Ta-Chen received the above payment of \$195,000 from Evergreen on June 30, 2015 and the case was closed.

  • (18) Certain construction contracts undertaken by subsidiary, Ta-Chen Construction & Engineering Corp., specify that default penalty shall be computed according to the contractual terms if the construction is not completed within the prescribed period.
  • (19) On October 9, 2013, the subsidiary, the Splendor Hotel Taichung, signed a syndicated loan contract with 5 financial institutions, including Taiwan Cooperative Bank, etc., in the amount of \$3.3 million, with Prince Housing & Development Corp. and China Metal Products Co., Ltd. as guarantors. Under the contract, the subsidiary promised its tangible net equity shall not be negative and current ratio, liability ratio, tangible net equity and interest coverage of Prince Housing & Development Corp. and China Metal Products Co., Ltd. shall conform to certain criteria as specified in the contract. If the Splendor Hotel Taichung violates above financial commitments, the managing bank has the right to take the following actions, including but not limited, according to the contract or the resolution of majority of the consortium: 1) request the subsidiary to stop drawing down all or part of the loans; 2) cancel all or part of the credit line of the contract which has not been drawn down yet; 3) announce that all outstanding principal, interest and other accrued expenses payable to the consortium in relation to the loan contract should mature immediately; 4) inform the managing bank of the demand for subsidiary's payment of the promissory note acquired under the loan contract; 5) inform the managing bank to exercise creditor's right of mortgage; 6) exercise contract transfer right, or other rights given by the laws, the loan contract or other relevant documents; 7) take other actions as resolved by the majority of the consortium.
    1. SIGNIFICANT DISASTER LOSS

None.

11. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

None.

    1. OTHERS
  • (1) Capital management

The Group's capital management is to ensure it has sufficient financial resource and operating plans to meet operational capital for future needs, capital expenditure, obligation repayment and dividend distribution. The Group adjusts borrowing amount in accordance with construction progress and capital needed for operations.

(2) Financial instruments

A. Fair value information of financial instruments

The carrying amount of cash and cash equivalents and financial instruments measured at amortized cost (including notes and accounts receivable, other receivables, other financial assets, refundable deposits, short-term borrowings, short-term notes and bills payable, notes and accounts payable, other payables, corporate bonds payable, long-term borrowings, long-term notes and accounts payable and guarantee deposits received) are approximate to their fair values. Furthermore, the Group's management believes the carrying amounts of financial assets and liabilities not measured at fair value are approximate to their fair value or their fair value cannot be reliably measured. Thus, the carrying amount is the estimated fair value. The fair value information of financial instruments measured at fair value is provided in Note 12(3).

  • B. Financial risk management policies
  • (a) The Group's activities expose it to a variety of financial risks: market risk (including foreign exchange risk, interest rate risk and price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk. The Group's overall risk management program focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimize potential adverse effects on the Group's financial position and financial performance.
  • (b) Risk management is carried out by a central treasury department (Group's finance $\&$ accounting division) under policies approved by the Board of Directors. Group's finance & accounting division evaluates and hedges financial risks in close cooperation with the Group's operating units. The Board provides written principles for overall risk management, as well as written policies covering specific areas and matters, such as foreign exchange risk. interest rate risk, credit risk, use of derivative financial instruments and non-derivative financial instruments, and investment of excess liquidity.
  • C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
  • (a) Market risk

Foreign exchange risk

The Group operates internationally and the currencies primarily used are NTD and USD. Foreign exchange risk arises from recognized assets and liabilities and net investments in foreign operations. Management has set up a policy to require the Group entities to manage their foreign exchange risk against their functional currency. The Group entities are required to manage their entire foreign exchange risk exposure with the Group finance $\&$ accounting division. Foreign exchange risk does not have significant impact to the Group.

Interest rate risk

The Group's interest rate risk arises from short-term and long-term borrowings (not including commercial paper). Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. The Group's borrowings at variable rate were denominated in the NTD. If interest rates on borrowings had been 0.1% basis point higher/lower with all other variables held constant, pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 would have been \$11,058 and \$12,532 lower/higher, respectively.

Price risk

The Group has investments in equity instruments, and the prices would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. However, the Group has set a stop-loss point and it was assessed that the Group was not exposed to significant price risk. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 10% with all other variables held

constant, pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 would have increased/decreased by \$74,052 and \$54,052, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as at fair value through profit or loss. Other components of equity would have increased/decreased by \$16,129 and \$16,641, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as available-for-sale.

  • (b) Credit risk
  • i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. Credit risk arises from cash and deposits with banks and financial institutions, including outstanding receivables.
  • ii. The Group's receivables, which are the receivables from pre-selling of housing before completing construction and transferring the title, are installments received from customers of pre-construction real estate. Therefore, it was assessed that the Group was not exposed to significant credit risk from receivables.
  • iii. For the years ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, the management does not expect any significant losses from non-performance by these counterparties.
  • (c) Liquidity risk
  • i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group's finance $\&$ accounting division. Group's finance $\&$ accounting division monitors rolling forecasts of the Group's liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs while maintaining sufficient headroom on its undrawn committed borrowing facilities at all times.
  • ii. The table below analyses the Group's non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date for non-derivative financial liabilities. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

  • B. 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: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and

volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group's investment in listed stocks and beneficiary certificates is included in Level 1.

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly.
  • Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group's investment in equity investment without active market is included in Level 3.
  • C. 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 at December 31, $2016$ and $2015$ is as follows:

  • H. Finance and Accounting segment is in charge of valuation procedures for fair value measurements being categorised within Level 3, which is to verify independent fair value of financial instruments. Such assessment is to ensure the valuation results are reasonable by applying independent information to make results close to current market conditions, confirming the resource of information is independent, reliable and in line with other resources and represented as the exercisable price, and frequently assessing valuation results and making any other necessary adjustments to the fair value.
