Annex I

Southeast Cement Corporation Business Report for the Year of 2021

The domestic demand for cement and clinker was 10.30 million tons in 2021, an increase of 700,000 tons or 7% compared with 9.60 million tons in 2020. The import volume of cement and clinker was 2.33 million tons in 2021, an reduce of 150,000 tons or 6% compared with 2.48 million tons in 2020. Cement demand in Taiwan will total 12.63 million tons in 2021, up 550,000 tons or 4.6% from 12.08 million tons in 2020. According to the statistics from the Department of Construction, Ministry of the Interior, the total area of building construction licenses issued in Taiwan in 2021 will be 43.425 million m2, an increase of 1.904 million m2 or 4.59% compared to 41.251 million m2 in 2020. In addition to the active promotion of major public construction projects, the overall public construction budget is NT$534 billion, an increase of 22% compared to 2020.

However, the imported grinding industry will import 1,957,000 tons of cement clinker in 2021, which will still hold the market position due to the low cost. In order to avoid the continued erosion of the imported industry, the company can only strengthen its market position by improving quality management, deepening customer service and flexible sales strategy.

The sales volume of cement in 2021 decreased by 3.17% compared with that in 2020, and the operating income decreased by 0.7% compared with that in 2020. The sales volume of furnace stone powder in 2021 decreased by 10.32% compared with that in 2020, and the operating income decreased by 9.54% compared with that in 2020.

To Southeast Cement Corporation

Audit

Opinion

We have audited the consolidated balance sheet of Southeast Cement Corporation and its subsidiaries (hereinafter Southeast Group) as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the consolidated comprehensive income statement, consolidated statement of changes in equity and consolidated cash flow statement from January 1 to December 31, 2021 and 2020 and the notes to the consolidated financial report (including the summary of significant accounting policies).

In our opinion, based on our audit results and the audit reports of other accountants (please refer to Other Matters), the consolidated financial report above was prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and the interpretations and explanations of International Financial Reporting Standards approved and issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and are sufficient to properly express the consolidated financial status of Southeast Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the consolidated financial performance and consolidated cash flow from January 1 to December 31, 2021 and 2020.

Basis of Our Audit Opinion

The audit is conducted in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accounts and the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibility under these standards is further explained in the responsibility section of the audited consolidated financial report. We are subject to the code of independence of the accounting firm that we belong to, have maintained our independence from Southeast Group in accordance with the code of professional ethics for accountants, and have fulfilled other responsibilities of the code. Based on our audit results and the audit reports of other accountants, we believe that we have obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis for expressing the audit opinion.

Key Audit Items

Key audit items refer to the most important items in the audit of the consolidated financial report of Southeast Group for 2021 based on our professional judgment. These items have been reflected in the process of auditing the consolidated financial report as a whole and the process of forming the audit opinion. We do not express our opinion on these items separately.

The key audit items of the consolidated financial report of Southeast Group for 2021 are described as follows:

I. Sales revenue recognition

  • 17 -

For the accounting policies related to revenue recognition, please refer to Note 4(19) to the consolidated financial statements; for the significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition, please refer to Note 5(1) 2. to the consolidated financial statements; for the revenue recognition, please refer to Note 6(31) to the consolidated financial statements.

Description of key audit items:

As the Southeast Group is principally engaged in the manufacture and sale of various cement-related products, which may be affected by raw material prices, market supply and demand, and the economic climate, and the revenue from cement sales is recognized when the cement is actually collected by the customer to satisfy the performance obligation, the revenue from cement sales will be recognized as a critical audit in 2021.

Corresponding audit procedures:

Our auditing procedures included understanding and testing the design and effectiveness of internal controls relevant to the revenue from cement sales, taking samples from the sales ledger, verifying the related certificates to the transactions to verify the authenticity of the revenue recognition, obtaining subsequent sales details, reviewing whether significant sales returns and discounts had occurred to confirm whether there were any significant exceptions to the revenue recognition, and performing sales revenue cutoff tests.

Other Matters

For some subsidiaries included in the consolidated financial report above and investments by equity method, their financial reports have not been audited by us, but by other accountants. Therefore, in our opinion on the consolidated financial report above, the amounts listed in the financial reports of these companies are based on the audit reports of other accountants. The total assets of these subsidiaries as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 were NT$87,068 thousand and NT$81,969 thousand, respectively, accounting for 0.79% and 0.83% of the total consolidated assets, respectively; the total liabilities were NT$23,455 thousand and NT$23,456 thousand, respectively, accounting for 1.04% and 1.78% of the total liabilities; the operating income in 2021 and 2020 was NT$114 thousand and NT$114 thousand, respectively, accounting for 0.01% and 0.01% of the consolidated operating income, respectively; the total comprehensive income was NT$5,100 thousand and NT$816 thousand, respectively, accounting for 2.76% and 4.63% of the total consolidated comprehensive income, respectively. In addition, as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, the amount of investment in these related enterprises by equity method was NT$461,327 thousand and NT$442,933 thousand, accounting for 4.21% and 4.49% of the total consolidated assets, respectively; the share of profit and loss of affiliated enterprises and joint ventures by equity method recognized in 2021 and 2020 was NT$18,336 thousand and NT$5,158 thousand, respectively, accounting for 12.30% and 69.42% of the consolidated net profit before tax, respectively; the share of other comprehensive income of affiliated enterprises and joint ventures recognized by equity method was NT$2,544 thousand and NT$3,306 thousand, respectively, accounting for 4.99% and 479,83% of the net other comprehensive income, respectively.

Southeast Cement Corporation has prepared the individual financial reports for 2021 and 2020, which have been audited by us with an unqualified opinion plus the paragraph of other matters on file for reference.

Responsibilities of the Management and Governance Unit for the Consolidated Financial Report

The management is responsible for the preparation of the properly expressed consolidated financial report in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, as well as the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, and the interpretations and explanations of International Financial Reporting Standards approved and issued by the Financial Supervisory Commission, and responsible for

  • 18 -

maintaining the necessary internal control related to the preparation of consolidated financial report, so as to ensure that there is no material misrepresentation in consolidated financial report due to fraud or error.

In the preparation of the consolidated financial report, the management’s responsibilities include the assessment of the ability of Southeast Group to continue to operate, the disclosure of relevant matters, and the adoption of the accounting basis for continuing operations, unless the management intends to liquidate or suspend the business of Southeast Group and its subsidiaries, or there is no practical plan other than liquidation or suspension of business.

The governance unit (including the audit committee) of Southeast Cement Corporation is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.

The Accountants’ Responsibility for Auditing the Consolidated Financial Report

The purpose of our audit of the consolidated financial report is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the consolidated financial report as a whole contains any material untruthful expression resulting from fraud or error, and issue an audit report accordingly. Reasonable assurance means a high degree of assurance, but an audit conducted in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards cannot guarantee that significant misrepresentation in the consolidated financial report will be detected. Misrepresentation may be due to fraud or error. An individual or aggregate amount that is misrepresented is considered significant if it can be reasonably expected to affect the economic decisions made by the users of the consolidated financial report.

When auditing in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, we use professional judgment and maintained professional suspicion. We also performed the following tasks:

  • I. Identifying and assessing the risks of material misrepresentation of the consolidated financial report due to fraud or error, designing and implementing appropriate countermeasures for the assessed risks, and obtaining sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis of audit opinions. Because fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, false statement or internal control overstepping, the risk of not detecting material misrepresentation caused by fraud is higher than that caused by error.

  • II. We acquire necessary understanding of the internal control system related to the audit, so as to design appropriate audit procedures at that time, but the purpose is not to express opinions on the effectiveness of internal control of Southeast Group.

  • III.[We evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted by the management, as well] as the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures.

  • IV. Based on the audit evidence obtained, we make a conclusion on the appropriateness of the accounting basis for continuing operations adopted by the management, and whether there is significant uncertainty in an event or situation that may cause significant doubt about the ability of Southeast Group to continue operations. If we are of the opinion that there is significant uncertainty in such an event or situation, we shall in the audit report remind the users of the consolidated financial report to pay attention to the relevant disclosure in the consolidated financial report, or amend our audit opinion when such disclosure is inappropriate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained as of the audit report date. However, future events or circumstances may cause Southeast Group to no longer have the ability to continue to operate.

  • V. We evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial report (including related notes), and whether the consolidated financial report properly expresses related transactions and events.

  • VI. We obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for the financial information of the constituent entities of Southeast Group, in order to express opinions on the consolidated financial report. We are responsible for the guidance, supervision and implementation of the audit case, and for forming audit opinions on the Group.

  • 19 -

Matters communicated between us and the governance unit include the planned audit scope and time, and major audit findings (including significant lack of internal control identified in the audit process).

We also provided the governance unit with the statement that the persons involved who are subject to the independence standard of our accounting firm have complied with the professional ethics of accountants, and communicated with the governance unit all relations and other matters (including relevant protective measures) that may affect our independence.

We determined the key audit matters for the audit of the consolidated financial report of Southeast Group in 2021 from the matters communicated with the governance unit. We state such matters in the audit report; unless it is prohibited by law to disclose specific matters publicly, or in rare cases, we decide not to communicate specific matters in the audit report as it can be reasonably expected that the negative impact of such communication will be greater than the public interest promoted.

Please refer to Note 4(17) to the financial statements for the accounting policies related to revenue recognition; Note 5(1) to the financial statements for significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions related to revenue recognition; and Note 6(28) to the financial statements for revenue recognition.

Description of key audit items:

Since Southeast Cement is mainly engaged in the manufacture and sale of various cement-related products, which may be affected by raw material prices, market supply and demand, and the economic climate, and the revenue from cement sales has to be recognized when the customer actually collects the cement to satisfy the performance obligation, the revenue from cement sales is recognized as a critical audit in 2021.

Corresponding audit procedures:

  • 27 -

Our audit procedures included understanding and testing the effectiveness of the design and implementation of internal controls relevant to cement sales revenue, taking samples from the sales ledger, verifying the evidence of transactions to verify the authenticity of revenue recognition, obtaining post-period sales details, reviewing whether significant sales returns and discounts had occurred to confirm whether there were any significant exceptions to revenue recognition, and performing sales revenue cutoff tests.

Other Matters

The financial reports of some investee companies recognized by equity method in the individual financial reports of 2021 and 2020 have not been audited by us, but have been audited by other accountants. Therefore, in our opinion on the abovementioned individual financial report, the amounts listed in the financial report of these investee companies are based on the audit reports by other accountants. The total investment amount by equity method in these investee companies as of December 31, 2021 and 2020 was NT$419,115 thousand and NT$401,668 thousand, respectively, accounting for 3.95% and 4.20% of the total assets, respectively; in 2021 and 2020, the share of profit and loss of subsidiaries and affiliated enterprises and joint ventures by equity method was NT$17,388 thousand and NT$4,093 thousand, respectively, accounting for 11.22% and 32.31% of the net profit before tax, respectively; the share of other comprehensive income of affiliated enterprises and joint ventures recognized by equity method was NT$2,397 thousand and NT$3,046 thousand, respectively, accounting for 4.70% and 533.45% of the net other comprehensive income, respectively.

Responsibilities of the Management and Governance Unit for the Individual Financial Report

The management is responsible for the preparation of properly expressed individual financial report in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and responsible for maintaining the necessary internal control related to the preparation of individual financial report, so as to ensure that there is no material misrepresentation in individual financial report due to fraud or error.

In the preparation of the individual financial report, the management’s responsibilities include the assessment of the ability of Southeast Cement Corporation to continue to operate, the disclosure of relevant matters, and the adoption of the accounting basis for continuing operations, unless the management intends to liquidate or suspend the business of Southeast Cement Corporation, or there is no practical plan other than liquidation or suspension of business.

The governance unit (including the audit committee) of Southeast Cement Corporation is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.

The Accountants’ Responsibility for Auditing the Individual Financial Report

The purpose of our audit of the individual financial report is to obtain reasonable assurance as to whether the individual financial report as a whole contains any material untruthful expression resulting from fraud or error, and issue an audit report accordingly. Reasonable assurance means a high degree of assurance, but an audit conducted in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards cannot guarantee that significant misrepresentation in the individual financial report will be detected. Misrepresentation may be due to fraud or error. An individual or aggregate amount that is misrepresented is considered significant if it can be reasonably expected to affect the economic decisions made by the users of the individual financial report.

When auditing in accordance with Generally Accepted Auditing Standards, we use professional judgment and maintained professional suspicion. We also performed the following tasks:

  • I. Identifying and assessing the risks of material misrepresentation of the individual financial report due to fraud or error, designing and implementing appropriate countermeasures for the assessed risks, and obtaining sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as the basis of audit opinions. Because fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omission, false statement or internal control overstepping, the risk of not detecting material misrepresentation caused by fraud is higher than that caused by error.

  • II. We acquire necessary understanding of the internal control system related to the audit, so as to design appropriate audit procedures at that time, but the purpose is not to express opinions on the effectiveness of internal control of Southeast Cement Corporation.

  • III.[We evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies adopted by the management, as well as the] reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures.

  • 28 -

  • IV. Based on the audit evidence obtained, we make a conclusion on the appropriateness of the accounting basis for continuing operations adopted by the management, and whether there is significant uncertainty in an event or situation that may cause significant doubt about the ability of Southeast Cement Corporation to continue operations. If we are of the opinion that there is significant uncertainty in such an event or situation, we shall in the audit report remind the users of the individual financial report to pay attention to the relevant disclosure in the individual financial report, or amend our audit opinion when such disclosure is inappropriate. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained as of the audit report date. However, future events or circumstances may cause Southeast Cement Corporation to no longer have the ability to continue to operate.

  • V. We evaluated the overall presentation, structure and content of the individual financial report (including related notes), and whether the individual financial report properly expresses related transactions and events.

  • VI. We obtained sufficient and appropriate audit evidence for the financial information of the constituent entities of Southeast Cement Corporation, in order to express opinions on the individual financial report. We are responsible for the guidance, supervision and implementation of the audit case, and for forming audit opinions on Southeast Cement Corporation.

Matters communicated between us and the governance unit include the planned audit scope and time, and major audit findings (including significant lack of internal control identified in the audit process).

We also provided the governance unit with the statement that the persons involved who are subject to the independence standard of our accounting firm have complied with the professional ethics of accountants, and communicated with the governance unit all relations and other matters (including relevant protective measures) that may affect our independence.

We determined the key audit matters for the audit of the individual financial report of Southeast Cement Corporation in 2021 from the matters communicated with the governance unit. We state such matters in the audit report; unless it is prohibited by law to disclose specific matters publicly, or in rare cases, we decide not to communicate specific matters in the audit report as it can be reasonably expected that the negative impact of such communication will be greater than the public interest promoted.
