PRINCE HOUSING & DEVELOPMENT CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND 2014

For the convenience of readers and for information purpose only, the auditors' report and the accompanying financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in

the Republic of China. In the event of any discrepancy between the English version and the original Chinese version or any differences in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language auditors' report and financial statements shall prevail.

REVIEW REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS

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

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Prince Housing & Development Corp. and its subsidiaries as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months and nine months then ended, as well as the statements of changes in equity and of cash flows for the nine months then ended. These consolidated financial statements are the responsibility of the Company's management. Our responsibility is to issue a report on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Except as explained in the following paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 36, "Engagements to Review Financial Statements" in the Republic of China. A review consists primarily of inquiries of company personnel and analytical procedures applied to financial data. It is substantially less in scope than an audit in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China, the objective of which is the expression of an opinion regarding the consolidated financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not express such an opinion.

As explained in Note 4(3), we did not review the financial statements of insignificant consolidated subsidiaries, which statements reflect total assets of NT\$10,361,014 thousand and NT\$10,734,651 thousand, constituting 19% and 20% of the consolidated total assets, and total liabilities of NT\$6,152,667 thousand and NT\$6,609,410 thousand, both constituting 21% of the consolidated total liabilities as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively, and total comprehensive income of (NT\$75,702) thousand, (NT\$7,682) thousand, NT\$60,399 thousand, and NT\$147,873 thousand, constituting $(26\%)$ , $(23\%)$ , 11% and 35% of the consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months and nine months then ended, respectively. In addition, as explained in Note $6(10)$ , we did not review the investments accounted for under equity method, which statements reflect share of (loss) profit of associates and joint ventures of (NT\$51,426) thousand, NT\$56,976 thousand, NT\$17,795 thousand and NT\$93,048 thousand for the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. The related investment amount was NT\$2,219,283 thousand and NT\$2,176,982 thousand as of September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. These amounts and the information disclosed in Note 13 were based solely on the unreviewed financial statements of these

companies as of September 30, 2015 and 2014.

Based on our reviews, except for the effect of such adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of insignificant subsidiaries, investments accounted for under equity method and the information disclosed in Note 13 been reviewed by independent accountants, we are not aware of any material modifications that should be made to the consolidated financial statements referred to in the first paragraph for them to be in conformity with the "Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers", and International Accounting Standard 34, "Interim Financial Reporting" as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

PRINCE HOUSING & DEVELOPMENT CORP. AND SUBSIDIARIES NOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS SEPTEMBER 30, 2015 AND 2014

(EXPRESSED IN THOUSANDS OF NEW TAIWAN DOLLARS, EXCEPT AS OTHERWISE INDICATED)

(UNAUDITED)

1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION

  • (1) Prince Housing & Development Corp. (the "Company") was established in September 1973, under the Company Act and other related regulations. The Company is primarily engaged in the construction, leasing and sale of public housing, commercial building, tourism/recreation place (children's playground, water park, etc.) and parking lot/parking tower, and leasing and sale of real estate. The common shares of the Company have been listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange since April 1991.
  • (2) The main activities of the Company and its subsidiaries (collectively referred herein as the "Group") are provided in Note 4(3)B.
    1. THE DATE OF AUTHORIZATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORIZATION

These consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on November 3, 2015.

  1. APPLICATION OF NEW STANDARDS, AMENDMENTS AND INTERPRETATIONS

(1) Effect of the adoption of new issuances of or amendments to International Financial Reporting Standards ("IFRS") as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission ("FSC")

According to Financial-Supervisory-Securities-Auditing No. 1030010325 issued by FSC on April 3, 2014, commencing 2015, companies with shares listed on the TWSE or traded on the Taipei Exchange or Emerging Stock Market shall adopt the 2013 version of IFRS (not including IFRS 9, 'Financial instruments') as endorsed by the FSC and Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers effective January 1, 2015 (collectively referred herein as the "2013 version of IFRSs") in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The impact of adopting the 2013 version of IFRSs is listed below:

A. IAS 19 (revised), 'Employee benefits'

The revised standard makes amendments that net interest amount, calculated by applying the discount rate to the net defined benefit asset or liability, replaces the finance charge and expected return on plan assets. The revised standard eliminates the accounting policy choice that the actuarial gains and losses could be recognized based on corridor approach or recognized in profit or loss. The revised standard requires that the actuarial gains and losses can only be

recognized immediately in other comprehensive income when incurred. Past service cost will be recognized immediately in the period incurred and will no longer be amortized using straight-line basis over the average period until the benefits become vested. An entity is required to recognize termination benefits at the earlier of when the entity can no longer withdraw an offer of those benefits and when it recognizes any related restructuring costs, rather than when the entity is demonstrably committed to a termination. Based on the Group's assessment, the adoption of the standard has no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, and the Group has disclosed additional information about defined benefit plans accordingly.

B. IAS 1, 'Presentation of financial statements'

The amendment requires entities to separate items presented in OCI classified by nature into two groups on the basis of whether they are potentially reclassifiable to profit or loss subsequently when specific conditions are met. If the items are presented before tax then the tax related to each of the two groups of OCI items (those that might be reclassified and those that will not be reclassified) must be shown separately. Accordingly, the Group has adjusted its presentation of the statement of comprehensive income.

C. IFRS 12, 'Disclosure of interests in other entities'

The standard integrates the disclosure requirements for subsidiaries, joint arrangements, associates and unconsolidated structured entities. Also, the Group has disclosed additional information about its interests in consolidated entities and unconsolidated entities accordingly.

D. IFRS 13, 'Fair value measurement'

The standard defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. The standard sets out a framework for measuring fair value from market participants' perspective, and requires disclosures about fair value measurements. For non-financial assets only, fair value is determined based on the highest and best use of the asset. Based on the Group's assessment, the adoption of the standard has no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, and the Group has disclosed additional information about fair value measurements accordingly.

(2) Effect of new issuances of or amendments to IFRSs as endorsed by the FSC but not yet adopted by the Group

None.

(3) IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

(4) Employee benefits

A. Pensions - Defined benefit plans

Pension cost for the interim period is calculated on a year-to-date basis by using the pension cost rate derived from the actuarial valuation at the end of the prior financial year, adjusted for significant market fluctuations since that time and for significant curtailments, settlements, or other significant one-off events. Also, the related information is disclosed accordingly.

B. Employees', directors' and supervisors' remuneration

Employees' remuneration and directors' and supervisors' remuneration are recognized as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal obligation or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated.

$(5)$ Income tax

The interim period income tax expense is recognized based on the estimated average annual effective income tax rate expected for the full financial year applied to the pretax income of the interim period, and the related information is disclosed accordingly.

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

There is no significant change during the period. Please refer to Note 5 of the 2014 consolidated financial statements.

  • (2) Critical accounting estimates and assumptions
  • A. Impairment assessment of tangible and intangible assets (excluding goodwill)

The Group assesses impairment based on its subjective judgement and determines the separate cash flows of a specific group of assets, useful lives of assets and the future possible income and expenses arising from the assets depending on how assets are utilized and industrial characteristics. Any changes of economic circumstances or estimates due to the change of Group strategy might cause material impairment on assets in the future.

B. Impairment assessment of investments accounted for under the equity method

The Group assesses the impairment of an investment accounted for under the equity method as soon as there is any indication that it might have been impaired and its carrying amount cannot be recoverable. The Group assesses the recoverable amounts of an investment accounted for under the equity method based on the present value of the Group's share of expected future

cash flows of the investee, and analyzes the reasonableness of related assumptions.

As of September 30, 2015, the Group's investments accounted for under the equity method, net of impairment loss, amounted to \$2,219,283.

C. Realisability of deferred income tax assets

Deferred income tax assets are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilized. Assessment of the realisability of deferred income tax assets involves critical accounting judgements and estimates of the management, including the assumptions of expected future sales revenue growth rate and profit rate, available tax credits, tax planning, etc. Any variations in global economic environment, industrial environment, and laws and regulations might cause material adjustments to deferred income tax assets.

As of September 30, 2015, the Group recognized deferred income tax assets amounting to \$108,165.

D. Evaluation of inventories

As inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value, the Group must determine the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date using judgements and estimates. Due to the rapid technology innovation, the Group evaluates the amounts of normal inventory consumption, obsolete inventories or inventories without market selling value on balance sheet date, and writes down the cost of inventories to the net realisable value. Such an evaluation of inventories is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.

As of September 30, 2015, the carrying amount of inventories was \$23,332,397.

E. Calculation of net defined benefit liabilities

When calculating the present value of defined pension obligations, the Group must apply judgements and estimates to determine the actuarial assumptions on balance sheet date. including discount rates and future salary growth rate. Any changes in these assumptions could significantly impact the carrying amount of defined pension obligations.

As of September 30, 2015, the carrying amount of net defined benefit liabilities was \$134,682.

F. Financial assets—fair value measurement of unlisted stocks without active market

The fair value of unlisted stocks held by the Group that are not traded in an active market is determined considering those companies' recent fund raising activities, fair value assessment of other companies of the same type, technical development status, market conditions and other economic indicators existing on balance sheet date. Any changes in these judgements and estimates will impact the fair value measurement of these unlisted stocks. Please refer to Note 12(3) for the financial instruments' fair value information.

As of September 30, 2015, the carrying amount of unlisted stocks without active market was \$234,612.

  • B. The fair value of some of the Group's available-for-sale financial assets declined significantly below its initial investment cost.

A. Based on the Group's intention, its investment in President Energy Development Ltd. and President International Development Corp. should be classified as 'available-for-sale financial assets'. However, as President Energy Development Ltd. and President International Development Corp. stocks are not traded in an active market, and no sufficient industry information of companies similar to President Energy Development Ltd. and President International Development Corp., or President Energy Development Ltd. and President International Development Corp.'s financial information cannot be obtained, the fair value of the investment in President Energy Development Ltd. and President International Development Corp. stocks cannot be measured reliably. The Group classified

those stocks as 'financial assets measured at cost'.

B. Details of the Group's financial assets measured at cost pledged to others as collateral are provided in Note 8.

(24) Retained earnings

A.In accordance with the Company's Articles of Incorporation, the Company will take into consideration its future business plans and capital expenditures in determining the amounts of earnings to be retained and to be distributed. In accordance with the Company Law, 10% of the current year's earnings, after payment of all taxes and after offsetting accumulated deficit, shall be set aside as legal reserve until the balance of legal reserve is equal to that of issued share capital. Afterwards, an amount shall be appropriated or reversed as special reserve in accordance with

applicable legal or regulatory requirements, along with prior years' accumulated unappropriated retained earnings, and then distribution should be in the following order: stock dividend and bonus to shareholders are 50%~100% of the accumulated distributable earnings, and cash dividend is at least 30% of the total stock dividend and bonus; except for dividend distribution, the appropriation of earnings is proposed by the Board of Directors and resolved by the shareholders. The remuneration to directors and supervisors is 3% of the distributable earnings and the bonus to employees is at least 2% of the distributable earnings. The receipts of the above employees' bonus must include employees who satisfy certain conditions and are qualified as the Company's employees.

  • B. Except for covering accumulated deficit or issuing new stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership, the legal reserve shall not be used for any other purpose. The use of legal reserve for the issuance of stocks or cash to shareholders in proportion to their share ownership is permitted, provided that the distribution of the reserve is limited to the portion in excess of 25% of the Company's paid-in capital.
  • C.(a) In accordance with the regulations, the Group shall set aside special reserve from the debit balance on other equity items at the balance sheet date before distributing earnings. When debit balance on other equity items is reversed subsequently, the reversed amount could be included in the distributable earnings.
  • (b) The amounts previously set aside by the Company as special reserve on initial application of IFRSs in accordance with Jin-Guan-Zheng-Fa-Zi Letter No. 1010012865, dated April 6, 2012, shall be reversed proportionately when the relevant assets are used, disposed of or reclassified subsequently. Such amounts are reversed upon disposal or reclassified if the assets are investment property of land, and reversed over the use period if the assets are investment property other than land.
  • D. The Company recognized dividends distributed to owners amounting to \$1,329,873 (\$0.8 (in dollars) per share) and \$968,354 (\$0.6 (in dollars) per share) for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, respectively. On June 17, 2015, the stockholders resolved that total dividends for the distribution of earning for the year of 2014 were \$1,329,873 with \$0.8 (in dollars) per share.

A. According to the Articles of Incorporation of the Company, details of the percentage of earnings that shall be distributed as employees' bonus and directors' and supervisors' remuneration are provided in Note 6(24).

However, in accordance with the Company Act amended in May 20, 2015, a company shall distribute employee remuneration, based on the current year's profit condition, in a fixed amount or a proportion of profits. If a company has accumulated deficit, earnings should be channeled to cover losses. Aforementioned employee remuneration could be paid by cash or stocks. Specifics of the compensation are to be determined in a board meeting that registers two-thirds of directors in attendance, and the resolution must receive support from half of participating members. The resolution should be reported to the shareholders at the shareholders' meeting. Qualification requirements of employees, including the employees of subsidiaries of the company meeting certain specific requirements, entitled to receive aforementioned stock or cash may be specified in the Articles of Incorporation.

B. For the three months and nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, employees' bonus was accrued at \$2,227, \$4,441, \$15,149 and \$16,164, respectively; directors' and supervisors' remuneration was accrued at \$3,341, \$6,660, \$22,724 and \$24,245, respectively. The expenses

recognized were accrued based on the net income and the percentage specified in the Articles of Incorporation of the Company (2% and 3% for employees and directors/supervisors, respectively), taking into account other factors such as legal reserve.

Employees' bonus and directors' and supervisors' remuneration of 2014 as resolved by the stockholders were in agreement with those amounts recognized in the 2014 financial statements. The calculation difference between employees' bonus and directors' and supervisors' remuneration as resolved by the stockholders and the amount recognized in the 2013 financial statements by \$2,976 had been adjusted in the 2014 statement of comprehensive income. As of the date of report, earnings for the year ended December 31, 2014 have not been distributed yet.

Information about the appropriation of employees' bonus and directors' and supervisors' remuneration by the Company as proposed by the Board of Directors and resolved by the stockholders will be posted in the "Market Observation Post System" at the website of the Taiwan Stock Exchange.

  1. SIGNIFICANT DISASTER LOSS

None.

11. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE

  • None. 12. 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 operating.

  • (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, short-term borrowings, short-term notes and bills payable, notes and accounts payable and other payables) 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. 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 would have been \$13,840 and \$13,626 lower/higher, respectively.

Price risk

The Group's 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014 would both have increased/decreased by \$34,052 and \$35,819, 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 \$16,396 and \$25,933, 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 nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, 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.

(3) Fair value estimation

  • A.Details of the fair value of the Group's financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value are provided in Note 12(2)A. Details of the fair value of the Group's investment property measured at cost are provided in Note 6(12).
  • 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 September 30, 2015, December 31, 2014 and September 30, 2014 is as follows:

D. The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:

(a) The instruments the Group used market quoted prices as their fair values (that is, Level 1) are listed below by characteristics:

Listed shares Open-end fund
Market quoted price Closing price Net asset value

(b) The Group takes into account adjustments for credit risks to measure the fair value of financial and non-financial instruments to reflect credit risk of the counterparty and the Group's credit quality.

E. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.

F. The following chart is the movement of Level 3 for the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014:

  • G. For the nine months ended September 30, 2015 and 2014, there was no transfer into or out from Level 3.
  • 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.
  • I. The following is the qualitative information of significant unobservable inputs and sensitivity analysis of changes in significant unobservable inputs to valuation model used in Level 3 fair value measurement:

J. The Group has carefully assessed the valuation models and assumptions used to measure fair value; therefore, the fair value measurement is reasonable. However, use of different valuation models or assumptions may result in difference measurement. The following is the effect of profit or loss or of other comprehensive income from financial assets and liabilities categorized within Level 3 if the inputs used to valuation models have changed:
