Report Items

Item I

Proposal: 2021 business report for review.

Explanation: The Company's 2021 business report is as follows:

RUN LONG CONSTRUCTION CO., LTD. Business Report

Dear Shareholders,

Thank you all for being here with us. On behalf of Run Long, I would like to express my sincere gratitude for your support over the past year!

The COVID-19 pandemic has ravaged the world for more than two years. Looking back on 2021, Taiwan raised the pandemic alert level to level 3 for more than two months, and domestic demand-oriented industries bore the brunt. Taiwan stocks have also experienced a year of turbulence with an intraday drop by more than 1,400 points, breaking the record in history. It was a bloodbath for the major stocks. Although the housing market was once impacted by the level 3 alert, after the alert was lifted, the consumption in the housing market hit a new high again as driven by the outstanding domestic economic performance, low interest rates, and the monetary easing policy. In 2021, the number of buildings sold and transferred in six special municipalities broke the record, with 267,751 buildings, setting a new record in eight years.

In 2021, the housing market in Taiwan was extremely vibrant, and the rise in housing prices also raised the government’s concern that it would affect real home buyers with rigid demand. Various government agencies managed to curb property speculation, including the Financial Supervisory Commission's real estate project financial examination, the Central Bank's loan-to-value restriction measure, the Ministry of the Interior's prohibition of resale of pre-sale housing agreements, private legal persons’ home purchase permit system, whistleblowing bonus system, actual price registration 2.0, and the city and county governments’ active discussion on the housing tax rate for property not for self-occupation. The government has actively launched policies to improve the housing market by suppressing real estate speculation without undermining the market. Although it will still impact some housing market transactions in 2022, the rigid demand is strong. Also, with abundant upstream capital and factory expansion and building by technology companies in various places, it, based on the estimation, will also boost the confidence in home buying and continue to create a home buying boom.

Looking ahead to 2022, everyone expects the pandemic to become a norm like influenza and even hopes that 2022 will be the "last year of the pandemic". However, due to the rapid spread of Omicron in Taiwan at the beginning of 2022, it is still uncertain whether the level 3 alert will be launched again or whether the new variant will impact the world again. However, in 2022, Taiwan's real estate market is still supported by several factors. First, real estate has long been regarded as a protection against inflation. When Taiwanese people have enough

funds, they often tend to invest in the real estate market. Second, the current general housing loan interest rate is about 1.33%. Even if the Central Bank raises the interest rate by 0.25% in 2022, the interest rate will only rise slowly from the historic low, with a limited impact on the real estate market. Third, semiconductor companies invest and build factories in succession in various places, which will be interlinked with the development of the housing market. These will be favorable factors for the real estate market in 2022.

In 2022, the market will still be dominated by the rigid demand from first-time home buyers and people who wish to replace their homes. Run Long aims to promote the products, featuring “young people to start a family”, “large replaced with small”, “old replaced with new”, and launched "small property units", "small second property units", and "two-plus-oneroom units" not only for self-occupation but for multiple purposes, such as investment and renting. In terms of product design, building materials, or public facilities planning, we create a healthy home space and strengthen the anti-pandemic function of overall buildings.

In recent years, Run Long has been actively launching cases in major cities in northern, central, and southern Taiwan. In 2021, we launched the “Shihengbin-Ueno District” and the “Shihengbin-Hoshino District” in Keelung and the “National Central City” in Taoyuan, which all witnessed excellent performance. In addition, the remaining unsold units of “Taichung Dibao” in Taichung and the finished projects of “Chungyen A+” in Xizhi, New Taipei City, and “Shicheng Run Long” in Taoyuan also demonstrated outstanding sales results.

In 2022, we will strive to eliminate our remaining houses while focusing on apartments for first-time home buyers and those who wish to replace their homes. At present, the projects we are planning and expecting to launch are mainly located in De'an CEF (Keelung), Chungho Yuanton (New Taipei City), Wanfang in Wenshan (Taipei), Shanjie in Guishan (Taoyuan), Zhongzheng in Xitun (Taichung), and Xinnan in Anping (Tainan).

Finally, I would like to thank all of our colleagues for their efforts. With the completion and handover of the “Bokelai Park” in Banqiao,” Jinai No. 2” in Tainan, and “Wenhua Run Long” in Kaohsiung in 2021, and projects due to be completed and handed over to the owners in 2022, including the “Shihengbin-Ueno District” and the “Shihengbin-Hoshino District” in Keelung and the “National Central City” in Taoyuan, the Company's revenue grew remarkably throughout the year. In the future, we will continue to uphold our management principle of a pragmatic and steady business approach, to maintain stable revenue while at the same time pursuing regular profitability for our shareholders.

The Company's 2021 business report is as follows:

  1. Implementation result of the 2021 business plan:

  2. (1) In 2021, the Company’s consolidated net operating revenue totaled NT$10,479,267 thousand, an increase of NT$2,823,031 thousand from NT$7,656,236 thousand in 2020, representing a growth rate of 36.87%.

  3. (2) In 2021, the Company's consolidated net income before tax totaled NT$2,060,201 thousand, an increase of NT$1,850,171 thousand from NT$210,030 thousand in 2020.

  4. 3 -

  5. (3) To sum up, the revenue and net income before tax for 2021 increased compared with 2020, mainly due to the increase in both the construction revenue and the sales of remaining unsold units of the Company's newly completed construction projects recognized for 2021 compared with 2020.

  6. Budget implementation status:

In accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Publication of Financial Forecasts of Public Companies,” it is not necessary for the Company to prepare financial forecasting for 2021.

  1. Status of research and development:

  2. (1) Architectural planning and design:

    • ① The residential building is designed for first-time buyers and home exchangers. In terms of design space, the apartments are divided into 2 or 3 rooms using safe and healthy building materials. We value the needs of users in a bid to achieve both aesthetics and practicality.

    • ② We will work with famous architectural teams at home and abroad and learn from international teams’ experience to improve the four major know-hows of flow planning, space design, delicate construction techniques, and hotel butler service; then, launch building products that are more in alignment with customers’ needs and even beyond their expectations.

    • ③ The ideas of “green building” and “smart living space” will be combined. Using the green building as the foundation, we will introduce the application of smart high-end technology that meets the needs of a rapidly changing market.

  3. 4 -

  4. ④ In the design and planning stages, the visual communication platform of the 3D modeling software "Building Information Modeling" (BIM) is used. By taking this approach, we can facilitate horizontal and vertical communication, coordination and integration among design, construction and user units to improve efficiency as well as quality.

  5. ⑤ Due to the effects of the pandemic outbreak, “epidemic-proof building materials” are the trend for future projects. Public spaces and homes will be upgraded with epidemic-proof building materials.

  6. (2) Construction and management:

  7. ① The 3D modeling software “BIM” will be used to review the project interface, resolve conflicts to achieve accurate construction standards, and improve deficiencies of traditional construction management, reducing overall construction costs.

  8. ② As there is a shortage of manpower for traditional technology, we will do our utmost to research and develop methods or adjust the process to reduce the traditional wet construction mode so as to decrease environmental pollution (e.g. the possibility to grout wall tiles instead of reinforced concrete walls, dry flooring instead of floor tiles, etc.).

  9. ③ We will adopt aluminum molds for structural systems, reduce the cost of material damage, increase the number of replacements, and effectively reduce the number of construction workers to accelerate the construction progress and reduce the cost.

  10. ④ We will research and develop and test the pre-assembly approach for structural beams and columns and implement the complicated steel bar fastening procedure in the processing plant to avoid weather problems and check the quality first; as such, we can assemble them on-site, to reduce the floating time caused by overlapping of many tasks, to effectively control the progress.

  11. (3) Market research and development:

  12. ① The Group’s official “House Appreciate Platform” has been launched with the website divided into sections including "Market Pulse", "Proposal Hotspots", "Fashion Taste", "Architecture School", "Group Brand" and "Event Zone". We provide information on the Group's latest projects in Taiwan so that consumers can get hold of the latest information and services available.

  13. ② We will continue to operate in the mainstream residential building market, focusing on homeownership and home exchange needs to meet the market demand. We will also strive to improve our after-sales services and quality control processes to gain recognition from home buyers and increase our brand awareness.

  14. ③ In response to the era of digital community, the Company has launched online issuespecific digital videos. By integrating our brand principles into the videos, we can capture the hearts and minds of home buyers while gaining recognition from target consumers.

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 are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ 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 auditors’ 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 the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China 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 auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, 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.

  2. 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.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. 15 -

  5. 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 auditors’ 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

  6. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  7. Obtain sufficient and 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 auditors’ 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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yilien Han and Ti-Nuan Chien.

In our opinion, the accompanying financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audit in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Certification of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Certified Public Accountants Code of Professional Ethics in 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 is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis of our opinion.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Description of key audit matter

The real estate industry, in which the Company is into, has a higher tendency of revenue fluctuation, therefore the management has set up relevant internal control procedures. The Company's sales revenue was $9,638,471 thousand in 2021, whether revenue is presented fairly has a significant impact on financial statement.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’ 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 Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ 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 the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China 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 financial statements.

As part of an audit in accordance with auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the financial statements, 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.

  2. 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 Company’s internal control.

  3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.

  4. 24 -

  5. 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 Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the 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 auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.

  6. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.

  7. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the investment in other entities accounted for using the equity method to express an opinion on this financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the 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 financial statements of the current period and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ 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.

The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Yilien Han and Ti-Nuan Chien.
