Report Matters

Item I

Proposal: 2023 business report for review.

Explanation: The Company's 2023 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!

In 2023, in Taiwan, the house price, rent, raw materials price and commodity price have almost all risen due to the impact posed by the global inflation. In order to suppress the house price domestically, the government has adopted multiple important policies, including the suspension of lift rate announced by the Central Bank in June, the “Amendment to the Equalization of Land Rights Act “ came into effect in July, the upgraded “New Youth Preferential House Loan Program” implemented in August, and “Non-Self-Use House Tax 2.0” passing the final reading in December. At different levels, the update on these policies posed some impact to home buyers. They provide more support and incentives to owneroccupiers while strengthening the regulations governing investors, thus making some investments less attractive. Notwithstanding, generally speaking, these adjustments can still help build a more stable and sustainable real estate market.

Upon removal of the disruptions, such as election, and due to the advantageous factors, such as the New Youth Preferential House Loan Program to be expired in July 2026 and the Central Bank’s announcement of the suspension of lift rate, the first-time buyers and petty bourgeois have a strong willingness to enter the market. In 2024, given the persisting buy orders for rigid demand in the real estate market, the mainstream products focus on “low total price” and “small occupied area.” Therefore, Run Long continues to plan products, such as “small house,” “small dual mix” and “2+1 unit,” in well-located areas and at low total price, not only for self-residence but also for pursuit of diversified value derived from acquisition and lease of assets.

The “Run Long Platinum” project launched by Run Long in Tainan in 2023 has achieved the remarkable sales over 90%. In 2024, it plans to launch the construction projects including “Xinyi Fujian” in Taipei, “Windsor Castle” in Taoyuan and “Wen Shang I” and “Wen Shang II” in Xitun, Taichung, all located in the main metropolitan areas of North, Central and South Taiwan, which are expected to become the best-selling products.

The construction industry is a high-carbon emission industry in the world. The carbon emission generated by it accounts for about 40% of the global carbon emissions. Therefore, the adoption of zero-carbon buildings constitutes the ESG trend in the construction industry. Notwithstanding, in the face of the global net zero trend, the Ministry of Environment expects to start collecting carbon fee from 2025. The carbon fee rate is still under consideration by the Ministry of Environment for the time being. According to Article 29 of the Climate Change Response Act, the entities subject to carbon fee may propose voluntary reduction plans and then apply a preferential rate. According to the plan of the Ministry of Environment, at the very beginning, it will collect the carbon fee only from the manufacturers emitting carbon more than 25,000 tons. Among the other things, the part of construction costs in connection with the carbon fee primarily consists of the costs for steel and cement in the construction raw materials. Run Long is not included in the first batch of subject entities to the carbon fee. Notwithstanding, it will still execute the GHG reduction practices proactively pursuant to the Financial Supervisory Commission’s Net Zero Emissions Roadmap. For the time being, Run Long is conducting the internal carbon inventory, and also implements energy conservation and carbon reduction, process carbon reduction, increases the utilization rate of renewable energy, and landscapes adopted roads and parks based on the top-down approach, in order to fulfill its obligations and responsibilities as a global citizen, expecting to achieving a win-win situation for sustainable economic and environmental development.

Finally, I would like to thank all of the colleagues for their hard work. In 2023, Run Long generated its operating revenue primarily from the completed and settled projects including “Shihengbin-Shangye District” in Keelung, “Shihengbin-Xingye District” in Keelung, “National Central City” in Taoyuan, “Juke Run Long” in Hsinchu, and “Shuhoyuan” in Kaohsiung. With the incentives

derived from intensive postings by the completed and settled projects, the Company's annual operating revenue has grown significantly. It is an honor for Run Long to win the trust of all shareholders in its 2023 operations. Notwithstanding, Run Long will insist on its practical and stable management philosophy, and work harder to pursue good returns for each of you in the future.

The Company's 2023 business report is as follows:

  1. Implementation result of the 2023 business plan:

  2. (1) In 2023, the Company’s consolidated net operating revenue totaled NT$30,683,941 thousand, an increase of NT$28,198,217 thousand from NT$2,485,724 thousand in 2022.

  4. (3) To sum up, the revenue and net income before tax for 2023 increased compared with 2022, mainly due to the increase in both the construction revenue of the Company's newly completed construction projects recognized for 2023 compared with 2022.

4. Status of research and development:

  • (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 Starting from consumer demand and practicality, the company considers practicality as the main focus and combines "green building" and "environmental protection and energy saving." The company also

emphasizes digital technology, earthquake resistance, safety, and agefriendly housing to meet the rapidly changing market demands.

  - 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 In addition to the architectural aesthetics and functions as required, the base ecology, energy and water conservation, green construction materials, and indoor environmental quality are also taken into account. The Company also develops the design and materials that meet the green, low-carbon, recycling requirements proactively.
  • (2) Construction and management:

    • ① Bathroom waterproof control: At the construction stage, the water supply system has been pressure tested in steps to confirm that there is no leakage in the pipeline, and recorded. In addition to the waterproof piers erected in the bathroom partitions, the junctions of different materials are made of single-liquid PU to prevent cracks. From wall and floor waterproofing to water testing, the waterproofing history is recorded door-to-door.

    • ② Mix and match the structural formwork and aluminum molds to reduce the quantity of the following wall mortar work and increase the unit rate.

    • ③ In view of the serious shortage of domestic workers, the Company has introduced foreign workers with legal professional skills to assist in the construction work at various stages, in order to solve the problem about delay in work progress caused by the shortage of workers.

  • (3) Market research and development:

    • ① The “Group Live House Tour Platform” provides customers with the latest development in the real estate market to help them seize the opportunities in the real estate market and meet the different needs of first-time buyers, home exchangers or real estate buyers, across different cities including Kaohsiung, Tainan, Taichung and Greater Taipei and for various house

types. The house tour may be booked immediately at the hotspots where projects are launched, in order to help customers spend the least time in finding the houses which may best fit their needs.

  • ② In response to the era of digital community, the Company has launched online issue-specific 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.

  • ③ The Group has launched free line stickers and combined them with the task interaction design to guide users to share them with friends, so that each transmission of the stickers may be considered as a brand promotion message to increases the brand exposure.

  • ④ We will continue to operate in the mainstream residential building market, focusing on homeownership and home exchange needs to meet the market demand.

The inventory of Group is an important asset for operations, and its amount accounts for 59% of the total assets; the inventory evaluation is handled in accordance with the International Accounting Standards Bulletin No. 2, if the net realizable value evaluation is inappropriate, it will cause false expression in financial reports. Therefore, the inventory evaluation test is one of the important evaluation items for the accountant to perform the Group's financial report audit.

Auditing procedures performed

Our principal audit procedures included the following: We understand the Group’s operating and accounting procedures for inventory valuation; Obtain the Group management’s data of inventory valuation; verify and inspect market value of the afore mentioned information. The net realizable value can be assessed in the following ways: through reviewing the recent selling price of the premises, by inquiring the selling price of premises nearby from the “Actual Selling Price of Real Estate” website, or by obtaining project investment analysis tables, inspecting and recalculating the net realizable value of inventory to ensure if it is adequate.

Other Matter

Run Long Construction Co., Ltd. has additionally prepared its parent-company-only financial statements as of and for the years ended December 31, 2023 and 2022, on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.

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 Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and IFRSs, IASs, interpretation as well as related guidance endorsed 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 consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

  • 20 -

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 the Audit Committee) 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 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 the Standards on Auditing of 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 the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and 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. 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.

  5. 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.

  6. 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.

  • 21 -

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 Han, Yi-Lien and Tseng, Kuo-Yang.

Independent Auditors’ Report

To the Board of Directors of Run Long Construction Co., Ltd.:

Opinion

We have audited the financial statements of Run Long Construction Co., Ltd.(“the Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2023 and 2022, the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

Description of key audit matter

The real estate industry, in which the Company is into, is recognized its sales revenue upon the transfer of ownership of the real estate and the actual delivery of the housing unit. Since there is a large number of sales of premises in the construction industry, in order to confirm the validity of the timing of the sales revenue recognition, the Company needs to examine the transfer of ownership and delivery housing data for all of transaction to recognize the sales revenue, which usually involves tremendous manual efforts. Therefore, the recognition of sales revenue is one of the most important evaluation in performing our audit procedures.

  • Test the samples of sales transaction before and after the end of the year to ensure the correctness of sales revenue.

  • Inventory valuation

Please refer to note 4(f), 5, and 6(d) of the financial statements for the accounting policies on measuring inventory, assumption used, and uncertainties considered in determining the net realizable value and the details of inventory.

Description of key audit matter

The inventory of Company is an important asset for operations, and its amount accounts for 59% of the total assets; the inventory evaluation is handled in accordance with the International Accounting Standards Bulletin No. 2, if the net realizable value evaluation is inappropriate, it will cause false expression in financial reports. Therefore, the inventory evaluation test is one of the important evaluation items for the accountant to perform the Company's financial report audit.

Auditing procedures performed

Our principal audit procedures included the following: We understand the Company’ s operating and accounting procedures for inventory valuation; Obtain the Company management’ s data of inventory valuation; verify and inspect market value of the afore mentioned information. The net realizable value can be assessed in the following ways: through reviewing the recent selling price of the premises, by inquiring the selling price of premises nearby from the “Actual Selling Price of Real Estate” website, or by obtaining project investment analysis tables, inspecting and recalculating the net realizable value of inventory to ensure if it is adequate.

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 Securities Issuers 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 (including the Audit Committee) 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 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 the Standards on Auditing of 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 the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and 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. 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.

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

  6. 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.

  • 30 -

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 Han, Yi-Lien and Tseng, Kuo-Yang.
