6 Dare To Dream, Brave In Implementation And Happy To Share
Thanks to the concerted efforts of our employees, Taiwan Land Development Corporation (TLDC) achieved exceptional performance as a group on many fronts in 2015, including the sale of industrial park projects, enhancing the value of assets, launch of new development projects, and the operation of Kinmen Wind Lion Plaza. The Group reported consolidated revenues of NT$592 million in 2015, mainly from the service-related income of Taichung City Precision Machinery Innovation Technology Park and Guanghua LOHAS Creative Park. Another contributor came from the appreciation of invested real estate applying the fair market approach. The Group has been profitable for nine years in a row since 2007. In 2015, Group enjoyed continuous and steady growth in profits, reporting earnings per share of NT$2.92. The innovation that TLDC has been able to realize in branding and cultural creativity contributes to increasingly diverse and valued architecture. The Group is honored to be a recipient of National Golden Quality Award and a leader in Taiwan’s architecture and cultural creative LOHAS industry.
In 2016, the Group will continue to focus on the sales at Taichung City Precision Machinery Innovation Technology Park, Kaohsiung Ganshan Benjhou Industrial Park, and Guanghua LOHAS Creative Park as its main source of profitability. The stable revenue growth of Kinmen Wind Lion God Shopping Street will also contribute to profit. Adhering to the TLDC business tenets of “dare to dream, brave in implementation and happy to share”, the Group has been constantly applying “green, intelligent, and cultural creativity” into local communities, developing product characteristics, and bringing in cultural creative, leisure and tourism, and medical cosmetics businesses to drive investment, boost productivity, and increase employment opportunities while advancing local developments and invigorating assets. The Group’s business divisions will increase their efforts on leisure real estate development and peripheral businesses, which coincide with the Group’s core belief of sustainable management. The Group’s tourism business is taking shape, with established locations in Hualien and Kinmen. The Group has also formed alliance with the Starwood Group with the plan to launch Le Méridien Hotel in Hsinchu, Sheraton Hotel and Aloft Hotel in Kinmen and Aloft Hotel, Westin Hotel and Element Hotel in Hualien. The Group will also expand its IOT (Internet of things) O2O (online to offline or offline to online) operations to make the most of virtual and physical channel synergies. Through the key technologies of IOT, the Group purports to stay on top of everything throughout the business process to boost product sales, while offering excellent after-sale services and carrying out O2O operations.
In addition, none of land and building assets owned by the Group are situated in the red alert areas with high liquefaction failure potential according to the data published by Central Geological Survey under the Ministry of Economic Affairs earlier in 2016. The Group’s Hsinpu Eco-community project in Hsinchu, Shuangxi Yiyuan Building in Taipei City, land at Tainan Yujing District, and land at Kaohsiung Meinong District are not in soil liquefaction areas. Nor are Yongde Building, Chengde Building and TLDC Building in Taipei City, Zhanchian Building in Tainan City, and Sanming Building in Kaohsiung built by the Group situated in areas with high liquefaction failure potential.
Below we present our 2015 business report, including implementation results of the business plan, budget implementation, financial highlights and profitability, research and development status, and an outline of our 2016 business plan, including business policies for the year, business objectives and important production and marketing policies as described below:

(4) Research and Development
In line with the trends for the future, the Group adopts the development strategies of "cultural creativity, technological innovation, international standards" and embraces the teaching of Laozi "The best of men is like water" and the teaching of Sun Tzu "Just as water retains no constant shape, there are no constant conditions in warfare" in the Art of War as corporate core values to respond swiftly and effectively in the ever changing market and fulfill its corporate social responsibility. Constructing three parallel business lines evolving respectively around the theme of green, intelligent, and cultural creativity, the Group builds a profit-sharing business model by actively engaging in dialogue with domestic life insurance company, foreign fund and investment companies and domestic and foreign investors about cooperation. Our green business encompasses everything related to environmental protection, sustainable living, organic LOHAS, energy-savings, and carbon reduction. Our intelligent business covers areas ranging from high tech and digitization such as the Internet of Things (IOT), Big Data, to continuing care and smart homes. The cultural creative business includes arts and cultural exhibitions and performances, arts dealership, cultural exchange, arts auction, and the operation of arts villages, along with other related fields.
2. 2016 Operation Plan (1) Business Policy
A. Value-oriented development strategies: The Group adds value to the land and space through cultural creativity and technological innovation by integrating art as part of life and creating a sustainable healthy LOHAS living space.

C. Consolidation of the development of Kinmen as the border trade center: Kinmen’s visa-on-arrival policy, increased duty-free shopping quota for people going to Mainland China through Kinmen and the relaxation of Xiamen as a free trade zone have contributed to a steady growth in bilateral trade with China. Kinmen Wind Lion God Shopping Street imports large quantities of goods for sale in Xiamen and significant increases bilateral trade with Xiamen and the West Coast Zone, which help boost the status of Kinmen as a border trade center.
D. Core values of sustainable enterprise: Embracing “green, intelligent, and cultural creativity” as core beliefs, we infuse land with new value, create a unique brand image, communicating our corporate philosophy and
8 Dare To Dream, Brave In Implementation And Happy To Share
committing to the construction of high-quality LOHAS spaces for living.
E. Specialization within the Group: We pursue after the overall rationalization of the Group and further enhancement of enterprise synergy through interaction and cooperation of all employees within the Group, diversifying our talent pool to meet human resources needs at different business locations and improving our asset management and Internet technology knowhow.

9
I LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS
endeavoring to preserve rich cultural and humanistic elements in all of its works. The Group advocates greater emphasis on way of life than on monetary value in its works, which is the essence and core of leisure industry and the Group’s development focus in recent years. In the future, all businesses will incorporate the elements of interest and curiosity for learning new things will be a major path leading to the creation of new business. The Group also takes upon itself improving the living environment of mankind as its corporate social responsibility. Adhering to the corporate culture of “happiness, sharing and innovation”, the Group will invite people sharing the same ideas and beliefs to join the efforts of pursuing a more organic, simple, eco-friendly, and wonderful life, finding new values and a way out for the future of Taiwan with sustainable operation.
4. Influence from External Competition, Regulations and Macro-operating Environment
(1) External Competition
A. Industrial park agency business: There is a pressing demand for industrial land in Taiwan. As land acquisition has to be based on market value and involves complex environmental feasibility study process, which makes land acquisition and development difficult, those facts have turned the Group’s industrial land assets into valuable assets.
B. Diversification: As Taiwan attracts more foreign visitors and the life style of people in Taiwan changes, it becomes necessary for the Group to transform its business pattern and diversify its businesses to spread operational risks, capitalize on business opportunities, and develop land value more effectively. By developing new markets through new products, TLDC focuses mainly on two business areas – leisure real estate development and e-commerce in the efforts to create more profit streams while putting the core corporate beliefs of “green, intelligent and cultural creativity” into practice.
(2) Regulatory Environment
A. The new “Consolidated Income Tax System for House and Land” recently promulgated by the Ministry of Finance increases the tax rate for sale of housing. The amended Article 5 of the House Tax Act limits the number of self-use houses which enjoy favorable property tax rate to 3 and stipulates that local governments may establish differential tax rates based on the number of houses owned by the owner, which will increase the tax burden for owners of houses not for self use. Both moves by the government are expected to adversely impact the sale and prices of real estate in the market. That was why our Central Bank cut interest rates by 0.125% three times in a row in September and December 2015 and March 2016 and relaxes the “selective credit control” of real estate loan to mitigate the impact of consolidated housing and land tax on the real estate market.
B. The Spatial Planning Act (Presidential Order No. Hua-Zong-Yi-Yi-Zi-10400154511 promulgated on January 6, 2016 mainly demarcates the functional zoning of national land, establishes use permit system that newly established (or expanded) urban plans or development projects shall be limited to those located in “rural-urban development areas” and the areas shall be demarcated following comprehensive review of spatial planning where change of zoning for individual projects are not allowed. This new measure will change significantly the urban expansion mode in the past and switch to compact development where urban development that used to focus on the periphery of a city will be reverted back to the renewal of urban center.
(3) Macro-operating Environment
Taiwan’s GDP growth was merely 0.75% last year. By the forecast of a number of domestic and foreign institutions, Taiwan may experience negative growth for exports in 2016, which typically account for more than 70% of GDP. As the government launches several policies and measures aimed at stabilizing housing prices, the number of real estate transactions in six municipalities for February 2016 as published by the local land administration bureau has declined significantly. Howeverwith scarcity of available landand consistently high material costs, plus the recent interest rate cuts by the Central Bank and relaxation of restrictions on real estate loans, the real estate markets in different areas will continue to fluctuate narrowly in the short run, but the room for lower housing prices is limited in the long run. In particular as the land prices in regions other than the metropolitan areas along the west corridor, such as Hsinchu, Hualien and Kinmen have climbed steadily every year, those market trends are particularly favorable to TLDC that holds a considerable amount of land assets and is embarking on several hotel and resort development projects in those areas. Based on the latest assessed land value and land price adjustment, the land assets owned by the Group across the country report nearly 18% growth in assessed land value, surpassing the nationwide average growth of 6.7%. The Group’s land assets in Hualien enjoy the highest growth of 36% in assessed land value. In the future, through sharing
10 Dare To Dream, Brave In Implementation And Happy To Share
strategy, the Group will offer the opportunity for long-term holding of real estate for investment purpose that is poised to lead to greater profits.
5. Conclusion The Group’s future lies in “innovation” and building a space is our character and value as exemplified in our
works of transforming old industrial zones into LOHAS parks. Our efforts in the next phase will focus on waters. The Huilan Bay project is our defining work in the current stage. As cultural creation cannot rely on imagination alone, success largely relies on going beyond imagination. Trends for the future reside in sharing, combining physical and virtual and creating cultural value with technology. TLDC will continue to observe the “law of nature” in transforming the environment and creating carefree space for people and our environment in total harmony with the Great Nature and other creatures on earth. TLDC has turned in some concrete achievements in the past eight years. By leveraging our experiences and traceability data, we aspire to build cultural and creative space and capitalize our professional advantages to offer all-round, quality living services that better meet the needs of people. For this, we ask for continued support and encouragement from our shareholders.

After the operating performance for the year and the extent of participation and contribution of the directors and supervisors have been taken into consideration, the Remuneration Committee will make a recommendation to the Board, which in turn will submit the proposal to the Annual Shareholders' Meeting for approval before payments for the remuneration may be made, and no risks are expected in the future.

C. Future Products and Services Currently Being Planned
(a) Key Development Projects for Industrial Park Development Business
‧ Hualien Guanghua LOHAS Creative Park – Adding value to and invigorating land for production – After the practice of land expropriation compensation based on market value has become law, the supply of industrial land decreases, while their prices go up. We acquired the land in this project in the early days based on the government-declared land value and hence enjoy the advantage of lower land acquisition costs. The Park will aggressively appeal to businesses in cultural creativity and media industries as well as international healthcare and wellness/leisure industries in coordination with the direction of industrial development policies for the eastern part of Taiwan and the overall planning of the Park with the aim to drive the industrial upgrade in Hualien.
‧ Taichung Precision Machinery Technology Innovation Park Phase II - Shaping and developing a comprehensive knowledge-based multifunction park to keep pace with the trend of knowledge-based economy.
‧ Taichung Shengang Fengzhou Industrial Park Phase 2 – Embracing the spirits of humanity, innovation and sustainability to build an “intelligent eco park” that are infused with the elements of knowledge, technology and future.
(b) Key Development of Businesses Associated with Company-owned Assets
‧ Hualien Guanghua LOHAS Creative Park– Commencing the Hualien Huilan Lohas Village building plan; development projects include Nakam Sara Cultural Square (including Golden Lion Cinemax), which is scheduled for completion in 2016 and will bring in the first IMAX cinema in Hualien-Taitung area. The Huilan Bay Sunrise Villa project has received construction permit and started pre-sale in August 2015. The project engages Centaline Property to look for buyers and investors in Hong Kong. Other projects include Huilan Bay Cultural City, Aloft hotel (green, beauty and environmentally friendly), pacific conference center (Westin & Element), Guanghua Media Park (Industries of Tomorrow Park) that have all completed planning and design. The ongoing developments of leisure farm and horse ranch, and eco water bank and green land are expected to steer Hualien to becoming a high-value tourism destination and a city of creative lifestyle of health and sustainability.

V BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
‧ Hsinchu Hsinpu Hot Spring– Located on beautiful sloped land in Hsinpu, a contemporary mountain city will be built that blends in with the surrounding geological environment and conditions. The local Hakka style architecture embraces aesthetics, ecology and smart living. The community will offer hot spring resort, Starwood Hotel and vacation home, Camellia Hot Spring Villa, supplemented with 15 hectares of land that will be used to build a leisure farm, forest garden, tea garden, and boarding/dining area to provide an interface between man and nature. Currently the Hsinchu Hsinpu Eco-community project has received construction permit for Camellia Hot Spring Villa and entered into an agreement with Starwood Group to collaborate in the development and operation of Le Méridien Hot Spring Hotel. The overall planning of a leisure farm on the north side has also been completed. The 4th Hsinpu Hot Spring Camellia Season held during the New Year of 2016 continued to receive wide acclaim.
‧ Nantou Caotun Zen Culture Park – A thousand plum trees and cherry blossoms will be planted to create the beautiful scenery of a mountain forest. Based on the theme of “Zen”, the Park will emphasize the philosophy of “less” to open a path to a healthy body and mind for modern people. The Park will contain a club house, service apartment, shops and learning space.
(c) Investment and Development Business

The project also embarks on the development of phase 2 hotel and conference and exhibition center.
(2) Industry Overview
A. The Present and the Future
The land development business continues to evolve with time. Confronted with increasing difficulty in land acquisition, how to create maximum land value becomes a critical issue in land development. In the face of global warming and eco crisis, how to achieve carbon reduction and sustainable environment become the key issues in land development. Moreover, as Taiwan’s society is undergoing rapid population ageing and changing family structure, land developers should come up with more products to meet the housing needs for retirement, long-term care and smaller residential units. On the other hand, Taiwan’s industries are faced with the pressure to undergo transformation and upgrade. Therefore, in the development of industrial parks, developers should, in addition to reviving idle land, offer innovative park design to meet the development needs of next-generation industries. In addition, Taiwan is rich in tourism resources and cultural heritage with the number of local and Chinese tourists continuously on the rise. The government forecasts that Taiwan’s tourism receipts will break the mark of NT$500 billion by 2018. Hence a foreseeable blue ocean for land development can be created to meet the rapidly growing tourism demands by providing more hotels and leisure products.

C. Product Trends and Competition
(a) Product Trends
Land development products include intermediary development services and end real estate products.
Development services increasingly stress the capability to innovate and integrate: Innovation is stressed because it enhances the value of land and creates brand force. Integration is stressed because in the professional division of labor, tasks become more and more specialized, while the age of Internet also accelerates cross-industry integration.
Insofar as real estate products are concerned, mixed residential commercial development that offers more flexibility is now the trend. The mix of work, commerce, residence, leisure and entertainment creates new patterns of living and meets the diverse needs of contemporary people. In addition, sustainable architecture design and application of smart technology are important trends in the development of real estate products that could lead to sustainable development and safer and more comfortable living.
(b) Competition
Under the trends of global liberalization and warming of cross-strait relations, the land development market is expected to attract more Chinese and foreign investors and market competition is expected to heat up more. Be it the provision of intermediary development service or real estate products in the end market, development ideas, integration of professionals and innovative capability will be keys to excelling in competition and success.
59
V BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
There is a pressing demand for industrial land in Taiwan. As land acquisition has to be based on market value and involves complex environmental feasibility study process, land acquisition and development become more difficult. Under the circumstances, industrial land assets currently owned by the Group are turned into valuable assets. As Taiwan attracts more foreign visitors and the life style of people in Taiwan changes, it becomes necessary for the Group to transform its business pattern and diversify its businesses to capitalize on the increase in land value, spread business risks and grasp more business opportunities.
The Company builds three parallel core businesses by incorporating the elements of "innovation, LOHAS, sustainability and intelligent" in all of its development projects and engages the services of first-rate professional teams at home and abroad, including Bjarke Ingels Group (BIG), an expert in LOHAS and creative design, a firm tapped to design New York's Two World Trade Center (2015) and the Opportunity Pavilion of Dubai Expo 2020, and a Chinese architectural firm MAD (principal designer for the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art in Chicago in 2014). Both BIG and MAD are on the list of 10 of the Best Upcoming Architects in 2016 selected by Highsnobiety. The Company also works with Japanese architect Kengo Kuma, internationally acclaimed architect known for his expertise in blending with the natural landscape and using natural building materials in fragile architecture and winning designer of the National Stadium for the 2020 Olympics in Tokyo, Kako Kikako Sekkeisha (KKS) from Japan, a firm credited with the design of the largest number of hotels in Asia, ARUP, an expert in sustainable development, and Dr. Ken Sakamura, the father of Japan's Internet of Things (IOT). The Company has also formed an alliance with Starwood Hotels & Resorts Worldwide. Future plans for collaborations in architectural planning, membership marketing and operations and management for hotels in Kinmen, Hsinpu, Hualien and Taichung are already in place. The goal is to develop the Company's leisure vacations business and become a leading brand of land development in Taiwan.

V BUSINESS ACTIVITIES
(b) Development Business of Self-owned Assets: The Company's land assets are distributed throughout Taiwan. Currently key development sites are company-owned land located in Hualien Huilan Bay Area, Hsinchu Hsinpu, and Nantou Caotun. In 2015 we conducted the planning and design for those projects and as a result no market share data have been compiled.
B. Future Market Supply and Demand and Future Growth
In the aspect of development service, the Company will concentrate on providing industrial park development services at the present stage. As cities and counties across Taiwan continue to develop new industrial parks, while expanding and renewing their existing ones, it provides the Company with significant business growth opportunity. The Company will continue to bolster its strength in innovative park development and vigorously vie for the business of developing new types of industrial parks.
As the government launches several policies and measures aimed at stabilizing housing prices, the number of real estate transactions in six municipalities for February 2016 aspublished by the local land administration bureaus has declined significantly. However with scarcity of available landand consistently high material costs, plus the recent interest rate cuts by the Central Bank and relaxation of restrictions on real estate loans, the real estate markets in different areas will continue to fluctuate narrowly in the short run, but the room for lower housing prices is limited in the long run. In particular as the land prices in regions other than the metropolitan areas along the west corridor, such as Hsinchu, Hualien and Kinmen have climbed steadily every year, those market trends are particularly favorable to TLDC that holds a considerable amount of land assets and is embarking on several hotel and resort development projects in those areas. Based on the latest assessed land value and land price adjustment declared in 2016, the land assets owned by the Group across the country report nearly18%growth in assessed land value, surpassing the nationwide average growth of6.7%.The Group's land assets in Hualien enjoy the highest growth of36%in assessed land value, much higher than the national average. In the future, through sharing strategy, the Group will offer the opportunity for long-term holding of real estate for investment purpose that is poised to lead to greater profits.
C. Competitive Niche
(a) With solid performance records for industrial park development, the Company is presented with the opportunity to grab a greater share of the industrial park development service market.
(b) The Company owns more than 160,000 ping of land across Taiwan that puts the Company in a highly competitive position.
(c) The Company’s innovative development ideas facilitate the creation of brand image and competitive advantages in the market.
(d) The Company stays close in touch with social trends and makes forward-looking investments that present great opportunity.
(e) The Company has extensive deployment and a strong development team.
D. Advantages and Disadvantages of Company’s Vision of Development and Response Measures Advantages
(a) Advantages
‧ The Company’s overall development deployment is consistent with social development trends and government policies.
‧ As Taiwan and China continue to boost ties and the government implements visa upon arrival at Kinmen for Mainland tourists and the free trade zone policy, significant business opportunities are expected to be created for investment as well as tourism and leisure development projects in Kinmen.
‧ With the promulgation of the Statute for Industrial Innovation, new opportunities for the development of industrial parks present themselves. Rising demands for industrial land are advantageous to the business of industrial park development.
(b) Disadvantages and Response Measures
‧ The global economy is recovering slowly but the risk of a reversal still exists and Taiwan’s export-oriented economy is vulnerable to the impact of global economy. Thus any land development should be planned thoroughly and seek more collaboration partners to reduce risk.
62 Dare To Dream, Brave In Implementation And Happy To Share
‧ Government policies, including flat tax rate for property and land, rising property tax and farmland used exclusively for agricultural purpose only, are expected to produce certain impact on the real estate market. The Company will formulate response strategies in view of government policies and market trends.
‧ Faced with increasingly scarce land resources and increasing difficulty to acquire land due to government’s adoption of land expropriation compensation by market value policy, the Company will resort to innovative development methods to add more value to the land.

(3) Supply Status of Main Materials
A. Purchases for construction projects: All engineering and construction projects handled by the Company are conducted with the turnkey model - contractors are responsible for providing construction work and building materials. In order to gain effective control of construction quality and the progress of projects, apart from clearly stating the rules for construction tendering and contracting technical services organizations to carry out services on behalf of the Company in our internal control system and prudently selecting building contractors with good reputation, the Company also maintains healthy, long-term cooperative relationships with construction firms to make sure there will not be no shortage or monopoly in the supply of construction resources.
B. Land for construction: The acquisition of land required for the Company’s construction projects depends on the location of each case. In addition to purchasing land directly from landowners, we also participate actively in land made available by the government and court-auctioned property. Furthermore, since the Company is flexible in the mode of carrying out construction projects in which we invest, it is possible for us to acquire the necessary land by engaging in joint development and investment with other construction companies or with landowners. Therefore there is no shortage in the supply of land for construction.

Note 2: The parties to the transactions above are represented by codes if they are non-affiliated individuals.
Reasons for changes:
Purchases made by the Company include merchandise, construction projects and land for construction. As the Kinmen Wind Lion Plaza has started operations, there has been increase in merchandise purchases for 2015. Purchases for construction projects were primarily planning and design fees paid to domestic and foreign architectural firms for the new development project in Hualien. With respect to land for construction, the acquisition of land required for the Company's construction projects depends on the location of each case. The Company's counterparties in land transactions are not specific to certain individuals and can be from many sources, and the merchandise inventory is acquired mainly due to the needs of sales outlets. Therefore no exceptional situations are present.

Reasons for changes:
In addition to carrying out the development of industrial parks and renovation work on behalf of government agencies, the Company’s main products comprise the sales of buildings commissioned through construction companies. The target buyers of these buildings are non-specific individuals and corporations. Due to the enormous amounts involved in real estate transactions, in general there is a low probability of repeat purchases by the same customers. Furthermore, service revenues for the development and renewal of industrial parks are mainly from government agencies and not from specific individuals or affiliated persons, so sales that are concentrated on government agencies should be considered a characteristic specific to this particular sector.

5. Labor Relations (1) Current Important Labor-management Agreements and Their Implementation:
A. Employee benefits measures:
(a) Leave system: For employees hired after privatization, seven days per year for over one year and up to (and not including) three years of service; Ten days per year for over three years and up to (and not including) five years of service; Fourteen days per year for over five years and up to (and not including) ten years of service; For ten or more years of service, one extra day per year, up to a maximum of thirty days, is granted.
(b) Distribution of performance bonuses, annual bonuses and dividends
(c) The Employee Welfare Committee is responsible for administering various employee welfare-related matters, including periodic domestic or overseas travel, self-improvement activities, distribution of birthday cash gifts, sickness/injury benefits, cash gifts for the three traditional holidays/festivals and subsidies for social clubs.
B. Continuing education: The Company encourages employees to participate in continuing education and training outside of regular working hours and provides employees with an open and diverse learning environment. Employees will be able to improve themselves continuously through internal and external training, knowledge management and guidance from supervisors and peers. The Company has also planned a job training system to allow employees to bring together their personal life and career for a better future.
C. Training: Each year the Company allocates a budget for education and training and establishes training programs. Based on job functions and professional requirements, appropriate training courses are organized to improve employees’ knowledge and enhance their overall quality in the hope that they will be able to develop professional know-how with enthusiasm and innovative ideas. Meanwhile, elites equipped with both professional expertise and practical management experience will be cultivated through the career-training program. In addition to actively arranging for employees to participate in external training courses, the Company also organizes internal seminars and workshops at appropriate times. This year 43 instances of continuing education and training programs were held, with a total cost of about NT$60,000.
The Company strongly encourages employees to acquire job-related certificates and licenses. The Company’s accounting managers have obtained the license for accountant of higher examination, and construction managers have obtained the license for architect of higher examination.

D. Retirement system: Pursuant to the provisions of the “Retirement, pension and severance guidelines for employees of state-owned financial and insurance enterprises operated by the Ministry of Finance,” the Company allocates a fixed percentage of the monthly salary, depending on the salary scale of each employee, into company- and self-contributed funds and pension funds for the benefit of employees in their retirement. The Company was officially privatized on January 8, 1999, at which time the provisions of the Labor Standards Act became applicable. The date was also designated the basis date for the re-evaluation of employee pension liabilities and expenses in accordance with SFAS Bulletin 18, “Principles of Pension Accounting.”Since the 1999 special fiscal year, when labor retirement regulations were adopted, each month the Company has been allocating 8% of monthly payroll as employee pension reserve, which is deposited in a Central Trust of China account. In addition, due to the fact that the Company’s Trust Department was sold to JihSun Bank on August 6, 2005, following the approval from the Labor Bureau of Taipei City government, the Company settled the seniority in the old retirement system with employees in accordance with the pension calculation formulas stipulated in the Labor Standards Act in order to safeguard the interests of employees. Therefore, the retirement seniority of Company employees now follows the rules of the new retirement system, making it unnecessary for the Company to allocate funds into the Central Trust of China pension account. And according to the Labor Pension Act, 6% is allocated, depending on the insurance coverage scale, as pension funds and deposited with the Labor Insurance Bureau.
E. In order to spell out the rights and obligations between the employer and employees clearly, as well as to maintain order in the workplace, the “Code of Practice” has been established and filed with the competent authority before being announced publicly. In addition, in order to impose certain requirements and ethical standards on employee conduct, a “Service Commitment Statement,” applicable to all employees, has also been established.
F. Work environment safety: Employees of the Company shall comply with applicable occupational safety and health laws as well as with the Company regulations so that safety in the workplace and a healthy environment can be maintained. In addition, to prevent theft, fire or other man-made disasters from occurring, the following labor safety and health regulations have been implemented:
(a) Regular medical check-ups will be conducted for employees on a regular basis (once every three years.)
(b) Occupational safety and health-related training will be conducted for employees.
(c) The Company's contractors are required to obtain comprehensive insurance coverage and to enhance the awareness of construction site safety and health management as well as to adopt appropriate measures.
G. Other important agreements: None.
(2) List any loss sustained as a result of labor disputes in 2015, and during the current fiscal year up to the date of publication of the annual report, disclose an estimate of losses incurred to date or likely to be incurred in the future, and indicate mitigation measures being or to be taken. If the loss cannot be reasonably estimated, make a statement to that effect: None.

(4) Reasons for changes in financial ratios in recent two years:
A. The liability ratio dropped because the overall assets increased, thanks to the adoption of the fair value for invested real estate for this period.
B. The increased ratio of the long-term capital to real estate, manufacturing facilities and equipment, profitability, and interest cover ratio is the result of the changes made to the accounting policy for invested real estate for this period; the after-tax income significantly increased with adoption of fair value.
C. The decrease of both the cash flow ratio and cash reinvestment ratio was due to the net cash flow from operating activities decreasing.
D. The decrease of operational leverage is due to the decreased operating profit for this period.
The formulae of the financial analyses are as below
A. Financial Structure
(a) Ratio of liabilities to assets = Total liabilities/Total assets
(b) Ratio of long-term capital to real estate properties, factories and equipment=(Total equity+Non-current liabilities)/net amount of real estate properties, factories and equipment
B. Solvency
(a) Current ratio=Current assets/Current liabilities
78 Dare To Dream, Brave In Implementation And Happy To Share
(b) Quick Ratio=(Current assets-Inventories-Prepaid expenses)/Current liabilities
(c) Interest Protection Multiples= PBIT/Interest expenses for this period
C. Operating ability
(a) Receivables turnover (including accounts receivable and notes receivable generated from operation) = net sales/remaining sum of average receivables (including accounts payable and notes payable generated from operation) for every period
(b) Average collection period = 365/receivables turnover
(c) Inventory turnover = cost of sales/average inventory
(d) Payables turnover (including accounts payable and notes payable generated from operation) = cost of sales/remaining sum of average payables (including accounts payable and notes payable generated from operation) for every period
(e) Average days in sales = 365/Inventory turnover
(f) Turnover of real estate properties, factories and equipment = net sales/average net amount of real estate properties, factories and equipment
(g) Total assets turnover = net sales/average total assets
D. Profitability
(a) ROA = [income after tax + interest expense x (1-tax rate)]/average total assets
(b) ROE = income after tax/net average equity
(c) Net profit ratio = income after tax/net sales
(d) EPS = (income belonging to parent company - stock dividend of preferred stocks)/weighted average number of issued shares
E. Cash Flow
(a) Cash flow ratio = net cash flow of operating activities/current liabilities
(b) Net cash flow adequacy ratio = net cash flow of operating activities in the last 5 years/(capital expenditure + addendum of inventory + cash dividend) in the last 5 years
(c) Cash reinvestment ratio = (net cash flow of operating activities - cash dividend)/(gross amount of real estate properties, factories and equipment + long-term investment + other non-current assets + operating capital)
F. Leverage:
(a) Operating leverage = (net operating income - current operating cost and expense)/operating profit
(b) Financial leverage = operating profit/(operating profit - interest expense)

REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Taiwan Land Development Corporation
We have audited the accompanying non-consolidated balance sheets of Taiwan Land Development Corporation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related non-consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Taiwan Land Development Corporation as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and its financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers”, and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Taiwan Land Development Corporation has been consigned to develop the industrial parks since the period it was government-operated. According to the consignment contract, the Company should pay all the development costs in advance, with the payments to be reimbursed when the land is sold. The land development receivables increased by $1,152,931 thousand, the collection of land development receivables amounted to $575,524 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the uncollected balance of land development receivables was $5,105,397 thousand as of December 31, 2015. The Company’s management has implemented operational policies as disclosed in Note 12(1), and negotiated to collect the payments on behalf of the government (the consignor) earlier.

TAIWAN LAND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATIONNOTES TO THE NON-CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSDECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014(Expressed in thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, except as otherwise indicated)
1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION Taiwan Land Development Corporation (the “Company”) was established on June 30, 1964 as a government-
operated company and the principal business was land development. In July 1972, the Company was renamed as “Taiwan Trust and Development Corporation” and its principal business became financial services and land development. The Company became a listed company in January 1999 after privatization.
To comply with the government’s “Second Financial Reformation Policy” and the rules of Trust Enterprise Act, the Company sold its trust department through a public bidding in August 2005. Consequently, the Company became a professional land development company from a financial institution with the approval of the Financial Supervisory Commission on September 13, 2005. The stockholders subsequently resolved to change the company name back to its original name “Taiwan Land Development Corporation” on December 14, 2005 with the principal business of land development and urban renewal development. The Company changed its type of industry in the Taiwan Stock Exchange to Building Material and Construction after March 2006.
2. THE DATE OF AUTHORIZATION FOR ISSUANCE OF THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS AND PROCEDURES FOR AUTHORIZATION
These non-consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on February 17, 2016.
3. 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 IFRS”) in preparing the non-consolidated financial statements. The impact of adopting the 2013 version of IFRS is listed below:
A. 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 Company will adjust its presentation of the statement of comprehensive income.
B. 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 using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability; for non-financial assets, fair value is determined based on the highest and best use of the asset. Also, the standard requires disclosures about fair value measurements. Based on the Company’s assessment, the adoption of the standard has no significant impact on its non-consolidated financial statements, and the Company will disclose 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 Company
None.
(3) IFRSs issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC
New standards, interpretations and amendments issued by IASB but not yet included in the 2013 version of IFRS as endorsed by the FSC:

The Company is assessing the potential impact of the new standards, interpretations and amendments above. The impact on the financial statements will be disclosed when the assessment is completed.
4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these non-consolidated financial statements are set
out below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
The non-consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”.
(2) Basis of preparation
A. Except for the following items, the non-consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
(b) Investment property is subsequently measured at fair value.
B. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the“IFRSs”) requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Company’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the non-consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.

(3) Classification of current and non-current items
The Company classifies assets and liabilities relating to the construction department as current and non-current by its operating cycle (which is normally longer than one year). The following are the classification criteria for other departments:
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
(d) Cash, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
(c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(4) Accounts receivable
Accounts receivables are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(5) Consigned land development business
A. The government organizations consign land development business to the Company, and the Company is also in charge of marketing the development in some cases.
B. During the consignment period, the Company, as a consignee, pays on behalf of consignors for compensation fees of land collection, construction costs, supervision costs and inspection costs, etc. Consignors compute interest payable on cost paid by the Company. When conducting consigned land development business, including industrial parks, land restructuring and land repurchase, costs are recognized pursuant to the agreements in each consignment contract and contracts with contractors.When the proceeds from sale of land exceed the cost, in accordance with Article 47 of“Act for Industrial Innovation”, developing organizations can make an agreement on receiving certain portion of profit with the commission organizations. In the case of industrial parks development, the Company recognizes service income based on sales rate and progress of construction, when meeting all the following criteria: (a) Costs attributed to the contract can be reasonably confirmed.
(b) Except for the collectible costs, other contract costs can be reasonably estimated.
(c) The collectability of service income can be reasonably confirmed.
C. Development costs are debited to the account “Land Development Receivables”, and receipts from buyers are credited to the account “Other current liabilities – deposit for sale of industrial park received in advance”, which are then offset with land development receivables when buyers settle the last payment.
(6) Impairment of financial assets
A. The Company assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated
89
Ⅵ FINANCIAL INFORMATION
future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
B. The criteria that the Company uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of impairment loss is as follows:
(a) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor; or
(b) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments.
C. As the Company has assessed that there is objective evidence that the financial assets measured at amortized cost are impaired, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognized in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognized, the previously recognized impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortized cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognized previously. Impairment loss is recognized and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
(7) Inventories
A. Except for land development agency, the Company’s inventories are land for construction, construction in progress and land and buildings for sale.
B. Development costs are stated at cost, and qualified interest costs incurred during construction are capitalized. Inventories are transferred to construction costs on ratio-of-area method or ratio-of-selling-price method consistently. Inventories are transferred to property for self-use when they are for self-use. When the purpose of use is changed and the inventories are then leased to others under operating leases, inventories are transferred to investment property.
C. Buildings and land held for sale, construction in progress and land held for construction site are evaluated at the lower of cost or net realisable value, and the individual item approach is used in the comparison of cost and net realisable value.
D. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value.
(8) Investments accounted for using equity method/subsidiaries
A. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Company. The Company controls an entity when the Company is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity.
B. Unrealised profit (loss) that occurred from the transactions between the Company and subsidiarieshave been offset. The accounting policies of the subsidiaries have been adjusted to be consistentwith the Company’s accounting policies.
C. The Company’s share of its subsidiaries’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Company’s share of losses in a subsidiary equals or exceeds its interest in the subsidiary, the Company continues to recognise losses proportionate to its ownership.
D. If changes in shareholdings in subsidiaries do not result in loss of control (transaction with non-controlling interest), transactions shall be considered as equity transactions, which are transactions between owners. Difference of adjustment of non-controlling interest and fair value of consideration paid or received is recognised in equity.
E. When the Company loses control of a subsidiary, the Company remeasures any investment retained in the former subsidiary at its fair value. That fair value is regarded as the fair value on initial recognition of a financial asset or the cost on initial recognition of the associate or joint venture. Any difference between fair value and carrying amount is recognised in profit or loss. All amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the subsidiary are reclassified to profit or loss on the same basis as would be required if the related assets or liabilities were disposed of. That is, when the Company loses control of a subsidiary, all gains or losses previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to
90 Dare To Dream, Brave In Implementation And Happy To Share
the subsidiary should be reclassified from equity to profit or loss, if such gains or losses would be reclassified to profit or loss when the related assets or liabilities are disposed of.
F. Pursuant to the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers,” profit (loss) of the current period and other comprehensive income in the non-consolidated financial statements shall equal to the amount attributable to owners of the parent in the consolidated financial statements. Owners’ equity in the non-consolidated financial statements shall equal to equity attributable to owners of the parent in the consolidated financial statements.
(9) Property, plant and equipment
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Company and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment was a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost must be depreciated separately.
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings 55 years
Transportation equipment 5~15 years
Office equipment 4~15 years
Leasehold assets 3 years
Other equipment 4~10 years
Leasehold improvements 5 years
(10) Investment property
A. Investment property is property held to earn rent or increase value or for both (including property under construction for the purpose). Investment property also includes land whose purpose of use has not yet been decided and is thus considered as capital appreciation. Investment property is transferred to property for self-use when it is for self-use. Investment property is transferred to inventory when it is held-for-sale.
B. An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the fair value model. A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of investment property is recognised in profit or loss.
(11) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Company assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
(12) Borrowings
A. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
91
Ⅵ FINANCIAL INFORMATION
B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
(13) Accounts payable
Accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. However, short-term accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(14) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
A. Ordinary bonds
Ordinary corporate bonds issued by the Company are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Ordinary corporate bonds are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is accounted for as the premium or discount on bonds payable and presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortised in profit or loss as an adjustment to the ‘finance costs’ over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method.
B. Convertible bonds
Convertible corporate bonds issued by the Company contain conversion options (that is, the bondholders have the right to convert the bonds into the Company’s common shares by exchanging a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of common shares) and call options. The Company classifies the bonds payable and derivative features embedded in convertible corporate bonds on initial recognition as a financial asset or an equity instrument (‘capital surplus—stock warrants’) in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial asset and an equity instrument. Convertible corporate bonds are accounted for as follows:
(a) Call options embedded in convertible corporate bonds is recognised initially at net fair value as ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’. They are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value on each balance sheet date; the gain or loss is recognised as ‘gain or loss on valuation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’.
(b) Bonds payable of convertible corporate bonds is initially recognised at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds and the redemption value is accounted for as the premium or discount on bonds payable and presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortised in profit or loss as an adjustment to the ‘finance costs’ over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method.
(c) Conversion options embedded in convertible corporate bonds issued by the Company, which meet the definition of an equity instrument, are initially recognised in ‘capital surplus—stock warrants’ at the residual amount of total issue price less amounts of ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ and ‘bonds payable—net’ as stated above. Conversion options are not subsequently remeasured.
(15) Employee benefits
A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expenses in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
C. Employees’ compensation, directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
92 Dare To Dream, Brave In Implementation And Happy To Share
Employees’ compensation and directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal obligation or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is distributed by shares, the Company calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
(16) Employee share-based payment
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. And ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
(17) Income tax
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional 10% tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
C. Deferred income tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the balance sheet. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Company and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
D. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed.
(18) Treasury shares
Where the Company repurchases the Company’s equity share capital that has been issued, the consideration paid, including any directly attributable incremental costs (net of income taxes) is deducted from equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders. Where such shares are subsequently reissued, the difference between their book value and any consideration received, net of any directly attributable incremental transaction costs and the related income tax effects, is included in equity attributable to the Company’s equity holders.
(19) Dividends
Dividends are recorded in the Company’s financial statements in the period in which they are approved by the Company’s shareholders. Cash dividends are recorded as liabilities; stock dividends are recorded as stock dividends to be distributed and are reclassified to ordinary shares on the effective date of new shares issuance.
(20) Revenue recognition
A. Construction revenues
93
Ⅵ FINANCIAL INFORMATION
The Company’s activities involve developing and investing in fixed assets and mainly focus on developing and selling residential and enterprise buildings. As the customer have limited ability to influence the design or the customer can make little changes to basic design, the sale of residential and enterprise buildings is considered as sale of goods. Revenue should be recognised when the Company has delivered the goods to the customer, significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity.
B. Sales of services
The Company serves as an agent of land development on behalf of government organizations and is responsible to sell partial development projects. Sales of services are recognised at the percentage of completion when the following conditions are met:
(a) Amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably;
(b) It is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity;
(c) Percentage of completion of transactions at the end of reporting period can be measured reliably;
(d) Costs incurred and will incur to complete the transaction can be measured reliably.
Please refer to Note 4(5) for related revenue recognised.
C. Catering income
The Company provides catering services. Revenue is measured at the fair value of the consideration received or receivable taking into account of increment tax, returns, rebates and discounts for the catering services rendered to external customers in the ordinary course of the Company’s activities. Revenue arising from the catering services rendered should be recognised when the Company has delivered the goods to the customer, the amount of sales revenue can be measured reliably and it is probable that the future economic benefits associated with the transaction will flow to the entity. The delivery of goods is completed when the significant risks and rewards of ownership have been transferred to the customer, the Company retains neither continuing managerial involvement to the degree usually associated with ownership nor effective control over the goods sold, and the customer has accepted the goods based on the sales contract or there is objective evidence showing that all acceptance provisions have been satisfied.
D. Rental revenue
Rental revenue is recognised in profit or loss on a straight-line basis over the lease term.
5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGEMENTS, ESTIMATES AND KEY SOURCES OF ASSUMPTION UNCERTAINTY
The preparation of these non-consolidated financial statements requires management to make critical judgements in applying the Company’s accounting policies and make critical assumptions and estimates concerning future events. Assumptions and estimates may differ from the actual results and 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; and the related information is addressed below:
Measurement of investment property
As investment property is measured at fair value, the Company must determine the net fair value of investment property such as land and buildings on balance sheet date using experts’ judgements and estimates. The Company must adjust costs to fair value based on the valuation reports by experts. Such assessment of investment property is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future, trading trends of buildings and experts’ judgements and estimates, and may influence the measurement of fair value. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.
As of December 31, 2015, the Company has recognised investment property of $5,863,441.

C. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, interests paid on behalf of consignors recognised as deduction of interest expense were $139,453 and $150,485, respectively.
D. The reasons for the Company not providing reserve allowance for uncollectible accounts are as follows:
(a) The debtors of the land development receivables are government organisations, and the possibility of non-payment is remote.
(b) According to the development contracts, proceeds from the sale and rental of the land are to be used first to repay the land development receivables. In addition, the Company can also claim for any related subsidies offered by the government to repay the development costs. Therefore, there is no significant doubt or uncertainty on the collectability of the land development receivables.
(c) The government is the subject of the development and also the owner of the land. Hence, the collectability of the development costs is not associated with the market values of the land. The inspected costs and prices are greater than costs already incurred and the land was sold on inspected prices and the proceeds were all collected. When settling the industrial park revenues and costs, in revenue-above-cost cases, the difference should be handed over to the industrial parks development and management fund based on the “Statute for Industrial Innovation” Article 47. Otherwise, the Company would be compensated by the fund according to the “Act for Industrial Innovation.”
E. The Company’s other receivables that were neither past due nor impaired were fully performing in line with the credit standards prescribed based on counterparties’ industrial characteristics, scale of business and profitability.
F. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Company did not hold other receivables that were past due but not impaired.
G. Please refer to Note 8 for the details of pledged land development receivables.

Ji'an commercial zone 5 Ji’an Township, Hualien County Income approach
Hsinchu Xinpu Xinpu Township, Hsinchu County Land development analysis
Taichung Dakeng Beitun Dist., Taichung City Land development analysis
(b) Ji'an Commercial Zone5 is analysed based on discounted cash flow of income approach, which is to use the object’s future discounted cash flow to analyse net profit and ending balance for each reporting period, and further estimate the price of the object using an appropriate discount rate. The object is expected to generate net cash inflow annually for the next 10 years after completion. The net cash inflow is discounted annually at an appropriate discount rate and equals the total of the present value.
i. The future cash inflow of Ji'an Commercial Zone 5 is mainly hotel rental revenue and shopping centre rental revenue. Assessment of revenue is as follows:
Operating revenue Estimated rent Local or similar objects
Hotel rental revenue (per dollar/per room/daily) $2,600~$34,000 Slightly higher than the estimated rent
Shopping centre rental revenue (per dollar/per level ground/ monthly) $1,100 Approximate to the estimated rent
ii. Future cash outflow

12. OTHERS (1) Operational policies
To improve the condition of significant amount of uncollected land development receivables, the Company consolidated its loans from several financial institutions into a 7-year long-term syndicated loan contract with a credit line of $16,500,000 in August 2005. After paying back loans over the years, the debt balance was
115
Ⅵ FINANCIAL INFORMATION
considerably reduced. In order to expand business, the Company had signed a 5-year long-term syndicated loan contract with a credit line of $5,300,000 in August, 2012. The new syndicated loan was used to pay off the previous syndicated loan, and maintain sufficient working capital. As of December 31, 2015, the syndicated loan amounted to $3,088,000,000. Since 2009, the Company has declared stock dividends for 4 consecutive years since the period of privatization, and completed its capital increase by $1,770,000 in October 2011. This indicates that the Company has the potential of maintaining a long-term stable profit margin to support the operations of the Company.
The Company is committed to a diversified land development and value innovation integrated to providing a high-quality lifestyle. The Company tries to infuse new value into the land with ubiquitous technology and green energy technology.
A. Value-oriented development strategies:
The Group adds value to the land through cultural creativity and technological innovation by integrating art as part of life and creating a sustainable healthy LOHAS park.
B. Sustainable development of the IOT and O2O with the cloud the source of value in the future:
As the Internet era changes, its future value will lie in the cloud. The arrival of the Internet of Things (IOT) era means that the reality must be combined with virtual simulation to integrate online-to-offline (O2O) and maximize market and business opportunities.
C. Consolidation of the development of Kinmen as the border trade center:
The visa-on-arrival policy in Kinmen has enabled the number of visitors from Mainland China to hit a record high. Implementation of increased duty-free shopping quota for people coming from Mainland China through Kinmen and the relaxation of Xiamen as a free trade zone further contributed to a steady growth in bilateral trade volume, the importation of excessive quantities of goods to Xiamen, and significantly increased bilateral trade with Xiamen and the West Coast Zone, consolidating the development of Kinmen as a border trade center.
D. Core values of sustainable enterprise:
Employing “green, intelligent, and cultural creativity” as core beliefs, we infuse the land with new value, creating a unique brand image, communicating our corporate philosophy and committing to the construction of high-quality LOHAS spaces for living.
E. Specialization within the Company
Pursuit of overall rationalization of the Company and further enhancement of enterprise synergy through interaction and cooperation of all employees within the Company.
F. The Company has combined the industrial zone with local uniqueness for innovation and increasing value and to further speed up the disposal of unleased and unsold land and collection for payments on behalf of others.
(2) Capital risk management
The Company’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Company may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Company monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including ‘current and non-current borrowings’ as shown in the non-consolidated balance sheet) less cash. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the non-consolidated balance sheet plus net debt.
During 2015, the Company’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2014, was to maintain the gearing ratio under 50%. The gearing ratios at December 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:
116 Dare To Dream, Brave In Implementation And Happy To Share

B. Financial risk management policies
The Company’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 Company’s overall risk management programme focuses on the unpredictability of financial markets and seeks to minimise potential adverse effects on the Company’s financial position and financial performance.
C. Significant financial risks and degrees of financial risks
(a) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Company arising from default by the clients on the contract obligations. According to the Company’s credit policy, each local entity in the Company is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. The counterparties are government organisations of all cities and counties with high credit quality, thus, there is no critical credit risk.
(b) Liquidity risk
Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Company and aggregated by Company treasury. Company treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Company’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 so that the Company does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Company’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets and external regulatory or legal requirements.

(4) Fair value information
A. Details of the fair value of the Company’s financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value are provided in Note 12(3).
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.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Company’s investment in derivatives is included in Level 2.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Company’s investment in investment property is included in Level 3.
C, The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities at December 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

D. The methods and assumptions the Company used to measure fair value are as follows:
(a) The fair value of other financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the balance sheet date (i.e. yield curves on the Taipei Exchange, average commercial paper interest rates quoted from Reuters).
(b) When assessing non-standard and low-complexity financial instruments, for example, debt instruments without active market, interest rate swap contracts, foreign exchange swap contracts and options, the Company adopts valuation technique that is widely used by market participants. The inputs used in the valuation method to measure these financial instruments are normally observable in the market.
(c) Under “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, the Company appoints external valuers, by using the income approach, to calculate the fair value of investment property. Related assumption and information of inputs are as follows:
i. Cash flow: Cash flow shall be valuated on the basis of existing lease contracts, rent at local market rates, or current market rents for similar comparable properties in the same location and condition, and overvalued and undervalued comparable properties shall be excluded. If there is a period-end value, the discounted present period-end value may be added.
ii. Analysis period: When there is no specified period for the income, the analysis period in principle shall not be longer than 10 years; when there is a specified period for the income, the income shall be estimated for the remainder of the specified period.
iii. Discount rate: The discount rate shall be determined using the risk premium approach only, with the calculation based on a certain interest rate, plus the estimate for the individual characteristics of the investment property. The language “based on a certain interest rate” means the interest rate may not be lower than the floating interest rate on a 2-year time deposit of a small amount, as posted by the Chunghwa Post Co. Ltd., plus 0.75 percentage points.
E. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
F. For the movements of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, please refer to Note 6(6).
G. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no transfer into or out from Level 3.
H. 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:

Ⅵ FINANCIAL INFORMATION
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
To the Board of Directors and Stockholders of Taiwan Land Development Corporation
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Taiwan Land Development Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended. These financial statements are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on our audits. We conducted our audits in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants” and generally accepted auditing standards in the Republic of China. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion. In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of Taiwan Land Development Corporation and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2015 and 2014, and their financial performance and cash flows for the years then ended in conformity with the “Rules Governing the Preparation of Financial Statements by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Taiwan Land Development Corporation has been consigned to develop the industrial parks since the period it was government-operated. According to the consignment contract, the Company should pay all the development costs in advance, with the payments to be reimbursed when the land is sold. The land development receivables increased by $1,152,931 thousand, the collection of land development receivables amounted to $575,524 thousand for the year ended December 31, 2015, and the uncollected balance of land development receivables was $5,105,397 thousand as of December 31, 2015. The Company’s management has implemented operational policies as disclosed in Note 12(1), and negotiated to collect the payments on behalf of the government (the consignor) earlier. We have also audited the non-consolidated financial statements of the Company as of and for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014 (not presented herein), and have expressed a modified unqualified opinion on those non-consolidated financial statements.

TAIWAN LAND DEVELOPMENT CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIESNOTES TO THE CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTSDECEMBER 31, 2015 AND 2014(Expressed in thousands of New Taiwan dollars, except as otherwise indicated)
1. HISTORY AND ORGANIZATION Taiwan Land Development Corporation (the “Company”) was established on June 30, 1964 as a government-
operated company and the principal business was land development. In July 1972, the Company was renamed as “Taiwan Trust and Development Corporation” and its principal business became financial services and land development. The Company became a listed company in January 1999 after privatization.
To comply with the government’s “Second Financial Reformation Policy” and the rules of Trust Enterprise Act, the Company sold its trust department through a public bidding in August 2005. Consequently, the Company became a professional land development company from a financial institution with the approval of the Financial Supervisory Commission on September 13, 2005. The stockholders subsequently resolved to change the company name back to its original name “Taiwan Land Development Corporation” on December 14, 2005 with the principal business of land development and urban renewal development. The Company changed its type of industry in the Taiwan Stock Exchange to Building Material and Construction after March 2006.
2. 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 February 17, 2016.
3. 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 IFRS”) in preparing the consolidated financial statements. The impact of adopting the 2013 version of IFRS is listed below: A . 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 will adjust its presentation of the statement of comprehensive income.
B. 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 will disclose additional information about its interests in consolidated entities and unconsolidated entities accordingly.
C. 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 using the assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability; for non-financial assets, fair value is determined based on the highest and best use of the asset. Also, the standard requires disclosures about fair value measurements. Based on the Group’s assessment, the adoption of the standard has no significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, and the Group will disclose additional information about fair value measurements accordingly.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES The principal accounting policies applied in the preparation of these consolidated financial statements are set out
below. These policies have been consistently applied to all the periods presented, unless otherwise stated.
(1) Compliance statement
The consolidated financial statements of the Group have been prepared in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers” and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations as endorsed by the FSC (collectively referred herein as the “IFRSs”).
(2) Basis of preparation
A. Except for the following items, the consolidated financial statements have been prepared under the historical cost convention:
(a) Financial assets and financial liabilities (including derivative instruments) at fair value through profit or loss.
(b) Investment property is subsequently measured at fair value.
138 Dare To Dream, Brave In Implementation And Happy To Share
B. The preparation of financial statements in compliance with IFRSs requires the use of certain critical accounting estimates. It also requires management to exercise its judgment in the process of applying the Group’s accounting policies. The areas involving a higher degree of judgment or complexity, or areas where assumptions and estimates are significant to the consolidated financial statements are disclosed in Note 5.
(3) Basis of consolidation
A. Basis for preparation of consolidated financial statements:
(a) All subsidiaries are included in the Group’s consolidated financial statements. Subsidiaries are all entities (including structured entities) controlled by the Group. The Group controls an entity when the Group is exposed, or has rights, to variable returns from its involvement with the entity and has the ability to affect those returns through its power over the entity. Consolidation of subsidiaries begins from the date the Group obtains control of the subsidiaries and ceases when the Group loses control of the subsidiaries.
(b) Inter-company transactions, balances and unrealised gains or losses on transactions between companies within the Group are eliminated. Accounting policies of subsidiaries have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
(c) Profit or loss and each component of other comprehensive income are attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests. Total comprehensive income is attributed to the owners of the parent and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.
(d) Changes in a parent’s ownership interest in a subsidiary that do not result in the parent losing control of the subsidiary (transactions with non-controlling interests) are accounted for as equity transactions, i.e. transactions with owners in their capacity as owners. Any difference between the amount by which the non-controlling interests are adjusted and the fair value of the consideration paid or received is recognised directly in equity.

C. Subsidiaries not included in the consolidated financial statements: None.
D. Adjustments for subsidiaries with different balance sheet dates: None.
E. Significant restrictions: None.
F. Subsidiaries that have non-controlling interests that are material to the Group: None.
(4) Foreign currency translation
Items included in the financial statements of each of the Group’s entities are measured using the currency of the primary economic environment in which the entity operates (the “functional currency”). The consolidated financial statements are presented in New Taiwan Dollars, which is the Company’s functional and the Group’s presentation currency.
A. Foreign currency transactions and balances
(a) Foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the exchange rates prevailing at the dates of the transactions or valuation where items are remeasured. Foreign exchange gains and losses resulting from the settlement of such transactions are recognised in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.
(b) Monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies at the period end are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date. Exchange differences arising upon re-translation at the balance sheet date are recognised in profit or loss.
(c) Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through profit or loss are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in profit or loss. Non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies held at fair value through other comprehensive income are re-translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the balance sheet date; their translation differences are recognised in other comprehensive income. However, non-monetary assets and liabilities denominated in foreign currencies that are not measured at fair value are translated using the historical exchange rates at the dates of the initial transactions.
B. Translation of foreign operations
The operating results and financial position of all the group entities that have a functional currency different from the presentation currency are translated into the presentation currency as follows:
(a) Assets and liabilities for each balance sheet presented are translated at the closing exchange rate at the date of that balance sheet;
(b) Income and expenses for each statement of comprehensive income are translated at average exchange rates of that period; and
(c)All resulting exchange differences are recognised in other comprehensive income.
(5) Classification of current and non-current items
The Group classifies assets and liabilities relating to the construction department as current and non-current by its operating cycle (which is normally longer than one year). The following are the classification criteria for other departments:
A. Assets that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current assets; otherwise they are classified as non-current assets:
(a) Assets arising from operating activities that are expected to be realised, or are intended to be sold or consumed within the normal operating cycle;
(b) Assets held mainly for trading purposes;
(c) Assets that are expected to be realised within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
(d) Cash, excluding restricted cash and cash equivalents and those that are to be exchanged or used to pay off liabilities more than twelve months after the balance sheet date.
B. Liabilities that meet one of the following criteria are classified as current liabilities; otherwise they are classified as non-current liabilities:
140 Dare To Dream, Brave In Implementation And Happy To Share
(a) Liabilities that are expected to be paid off within the normal operating cycle;
(b) Liabilities arising mainly from trading activities;
(c) Liabilities that are to be paid off within twelve months from the balance sheet date;
(d) Liabilities for which the repayment date cannot be extended unconditionally to more than twelve months after the balance sheet date. Terms of a liability that could, at the option of the counterparty, result in its settlement by the issue of equity instruments do not affect its classification.
(6) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
A. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are financial assets held for trading or financial assets designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Financial assets are classified in this category of held for trading if acquired principally for the purpose of selling in the short-term. Derivatives are also categorised as financial assets held for trading unless they are designated as hedges. Financial assets that meet one of the following criteria are designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition:
(a) Hybrid (combined) contracts; or
(b) They eliminate or significantly reduce a measurement or recognition inconsistency; or
(c) They are managed and their performance is evaluated on a fair value basis, in accordance with a documented risk management or investment strategy.
B. On a regular way purchase or sale basis, financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are recognised and derecognised using trade date accounting.
C. Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss are initially recognised at fair value. Related transaction costs are expensed in profit or loss. These financial assets are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value, and any changes in the fair value of these financial assets are recognised in profit or loss.
(7) Accounts receivable
Accounts receivable are created by the entity by selling goods or providing services to customers in the ordinary course of business. Accounts receivable are initially recognised at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method, less provision for impairment. However, short-term accounts receivable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(8) Consigned land development business
A. The government organizations consign land development business to the Company, and the Company is also in charge of marketing the development in some cases.
B. During the consignment period, the Company, as a consignee, pays on behalf of consignors for compensation fees of land collection, construction costs, supervision costs and inspection costs, etc. Consignors compute interest payable on cost paid by the Company. When conducting consigned land development business, including industrial parks, land restructuring and land repurchase, costs are recognised pursuant to the agreements in each consignment contract and contracts with contractors. When the proceeds from sale of land exceed the cost, in accordance with Article 47 of Act for Industrial Innovation, developing organizations can make an agreement on receiving certain portion of profit with the commission organizations. In the case of industrial parks development, the Company recognises service income based on sales rate and progress of construction, when meeting all the following criteria:
(a) Costs attributed to the contract can be reasonably confirmed.
(b) Except for the collectible costs, other contract costs can be reasonably estimated.
(c) The collectibility of service income can be reasonably confirmed.
C. Development costs are debited to the account “Land Development Receivables”, and receipts from buyers are credited to the account “Other current liabilities – deposit for sale of industrial park received in advance”, which are then offset with land development receivables when buyers settle the last payment.

Ⅵ FINANCIAL INFORMATION
(9) Impairment of financial assets
A. The Group assesses at each balance sheet date whether there is objective evidence that a financial asset or a group of financial assets is impaired as a result of one or more events that occurred after the initial recognition of the asset (a ‘loss event’) and that loss event (or events) has an impact on the estimated future cash flows of the financial asset or group of financial assets that can be reliably estimated.
B. The criteria that the Group uses to determine whether there is objective evidence of an impairment loss is as follows:
(a) Significant financial difficulty of the issuer or debtor; or
(b) A breach of contract, such as a default or delinquency in interest or principal payments.
C. As the Group has assessed that there is objective evidence that the financial assets measured at amortised cost are impaired, the amount of the impairment loss is measured as the difference between the asset’s carrying amount and the present value of estimated future cash flows discounted at the financial asset’s original effective interest rate, and is recognised in profit or loss. If, in a subsequent period, the amount of the impairment loss decreases and the decrease can be related objectively to an event occurring after the impairment loss was recognised, the previously recognised impairment loss is reversed through profit or loss to the extent that the carrying amount of the asset does not exceed its amortised cost that would have been at the date of reversal had the impairment loss not been recognised previously. Impairment loss is recognised and reversed by adjusting the carrying amount of the asset through the use of an impairment allowance account.
(10) Inventories
A. Except for land development agency, the Company’s inventories are land for construction, construction in progress and land and buildings for sale.
B. Development costs are stated at cost, and qualified interest costs incurred during construction are capitalised. Inventories are transferred to construction costs on ratio-of-area method or ratio-of-selling-price method consistently. Inventories are transferred to property for self-use when they are for self-use. When the purpose of use is changed and the inventories are then leased to others under operating leases, inventories are transferred to investment property.
C. Buildings and land held for sale, construction in progress and land held for construction site are evaluated at the lower of cost or net realisable value, and the individual item approach is used in the comparison of cost and net realisable value.
D. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost and net realisable value. Cost is determined using the weighted-average method. The item by item approach is used in applying the lower of cost and net realisable value.
(11) Investments accounted for using equity method / associates
A. Associates are all entities over which the Group has significant influence but not control. In general, it is presumed that the investor has significant influence, if an investor holds, directly or indirectly 20 percent or more of the voting power of the investee. Investments in associates are accounted for using the equity method and are initially recognised at cost.
B. The Group’s share of its associates’ post-acquisition profits or losses is recognised in profit or loss, and its share of post-acquisition movements in other comprehensive income is recognised in other comprehensive income. When the Group’s share of losses in an associate equals or exceeds its interest in the associate, including any other unsecured receivables, the Group does not recognise further losses, unless it has incurred legal or constructive obligations or made payments on behalf of the associate.
C. When changes in an associate’s equity are not recognised in profit or loss or other comprehensive income of the associate and such changes do not affect the Group’s ownership percentage of the associate, the Group recognises the Group’s share of change in equity of the associate in ‘capital surplus’ in proportion to its ownership.
D. Unrealised gains on transactions between the Group and its associates are eliminated to the extent of the Group’s interest in the associates. Unrealised losses are also eliminated unless the transaction provides evidence of an impairment of the asset transferred. Accounting policies of associates have been adjusted where necessary to ensure consistency with the policies adopted by the Group.
142 Dare To Dream, Brave In Implementation And Happy To Share
E. When the Group disposes its investment in an associate, if it loses significant influence over this associate, the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate, are reclassified to profit or loss, on the same basis as would be required if the relevant assets or liabilities were disposed of. If it still retains significant influence over this associate, then the amounts previously recognised in other comprehensive income in relation to the associate are reclassified to profit or loss proportionately in accordance with the aforementioned approach.
(12) Property, plant and equipment
A. Property, plant and equipment are initially recorded at cost. Borrowing costs incurred during the construction period are capitalized.
B. Subsequent costs are included in the asset’s carrying amount or recognised as a separate asset, as appropriate, only when it is probable that future economic benefits associated with the item will flow to the Group and the cost of the item can be measured reliably. The carrying amount of the replaced part is derecognised. All other repairs and maintenance are charged to profit or loss during the financial period in which they are incurred.
C. Land is not depreciated. Other property, plant and equipment apply cost model and are depreciated using the straight-line method to allocate their cost over their estimated useful lives. Each part of an item of property, plant, and equipment with a cost that is significant in relation to the total cost must be depreciated separately.
D. The assets’ residual values, useful lives and depreciation methods are reviewed, and adjusted if appropriate, at each financial year-end. If expectations for the assets’ residual values and useful lives differ from previous estimates or the patterns of consumption of the assets’ future economic benefits embodied in the assets have changed significantly, any change is accounted for as a change in estimate under IAS 8, ‘Accounting Policies, Changes in Accounting Estimates and Errors’, from the date of the change. The estimated useful lives of property, plant and equipment are as follows:
Buildings 55 years
Transportation equipment 5~15 years
Utility equipment 4~15 years
Machinery and equipment 5 years
Leasehold assets 5 years
Other equipment 4~10 years
Leasehold improvements 5 years
(13) Investment property
A. Investment property is property held to earn rent or increase value or for both (including property under construction for the purpose). Investment property also includes land whose purpose of use has not been decided and is thus considered as capital appreciation. Investment property is transferred to property for self-use when it is for self-use. Investment property is transferred to inventory when it is held-for-sale.
B. An investment property is stated initially at its cost and measured subsequently using the fair value model. A gain or loss arising from a change in the fair value of investment property is recognised in profit or loss.
(14) Intangible assets
A. Trademarks are stated at cost and amortised over the estimated life of 47 years using the straight-line method.
B. Operating rights are stated at cost and amortised over the estimated life of 10 years using the straight-line method.
C. Computer software is stated at cost and amortised on a straight-line basis over its estimated useful life of 3 to 5 years.
(15) Impairment of non-financial assets
The Group assesses at each balance sheet date the recoverable amounts of those assets where there is an indication that they are impaired. An impairment loss is recognised for the amount by which the asset’s carrying amount exceeds its recoverable amount. The recoverable amount is the higher of an asset’s fair value less
143
Ⅵ FINANCIAL INFORMATION
costs to sell or value in use. When the circumstances or reasons for recognizing impairment loss for an asset in prior years no longer exist or diminish, the impairment loss is reversed. The increased carrying amount due to reversal should not be more than what the depreciated or amortised historical cost would have been if the impairment had not been recognised.
(16) Borrowings
A. Borrowings are recognised initially at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Borrowings are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is recognised in profit or loss over the period of the borrowings using the effective interest method.
B. Fees paid on the establishment of loan facilities are recognised as transaction costs of the loan to the extent that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down. In this case, the fee is deferred until the draw-down occurs. To the extent there is no evidence that it is probable that some or all of the facility will be drawn down, the fee is capitalized as a pre-payment for liquidity services and amortised over the period of the facility to which it relates.
(17) Notes and accounts payable
Notes and accounts payable are obligations to pay for goods or services that have been acquired in the ordinary course of business from suppliers. They are recognised initially at fair value and subsequently measured at amortised cost using the effective interest method. However, short-term accounts payable without bearing interest are subsequently measured at initial invoice amount as the effect of discounting is immaterial.
(18) Financial liabilities and equity instruments
A. Ordinary corporate bonds payable
Ordinary corporate bonds issued by the Group are initially recognised at fair value, net of transaction costs incurred. Ordinary corporate bonds are subsequently stated at amortised cost; any difference between the proceeds (net of transaction costs) and the redemption value is accounted for as the premium or discount on bonds payable and presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortised in profit or loss as an adjustment to the ‘finance costs’ over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method.
B. Convertible corporate bonds payable
Convertible corporate bonds issued by the Group contain conversion options (that is, the bondholders have the right to convert the bonds into the Group’s common shares by exchanging a fixed amount of cash for a fixed number of common shares) and call options. The Group classifies the bonds payable and derivative features embedded in convertible corporate bonds on initial recognition as a financial asset or an equity instrument (‘capital surplus—stock warrants’) in accordance with the substance of the contractual arrangement and the definitions of a financial asset and an equity instrument. Convertible corporate bonds are accounted for as follows:
(a) Call options embedded in convertible corporate bonds are recognised initially at net fair value as ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’. They are subsequently remeasured and stated at fair value on each balance sheet date; the gain or loss is recognised as ‘gain or loss on valuation of financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’.
(b) Bonds payable of convertible corporate bonds is initially recognised at fair value and subsequently stated at amortised cost. Any difference between the proceeds and the redemption value is accounted for as the premium or discount on bonds payable and presented as an addition to or deduction from bonds payable, which is amortised in profit or loss as an adjustment to the ‘finance costs’ over the period of bond circulation using the effective interest method.
(c) Conversion options embedded in convertible corporate bonds issued by the Group, which meet the definition of an equity instrument, are initially recognised in ‘capital surplus—stock warrants’ at the residual amount of total issue price less amounts of ‘financial assets at fair value through profit or loss’ and ‘bonds payable—net’ as stated above. Conversion options are not subsequently remeasured.
144 Dare To Dream, Brave In Implementation And Happy To Share
(19) Employee benefits
A. Short-term employee benefits
Short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in respect of service rendered by employees in a period and should be recognised as expenses in that period when the employees render service.
B. Pensions
For defined contribution plans, the contributions are recognised as pension expenses when they are due on an accrual basis. Prepaid contributions are recognised as an asset to the extent of a cash refund or a reduction in the future payments.
C. Employees’ compensation, directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration
Employees’ compensation, directors’ and supervisors’ remuneration are recognised as expenses and liabilities, provided that such recognition is required under legal obligation or constructive obligation and those amounts can be reliably estimated. Any difference between the resolved amounts and the subsequently actual distributed amounts is accounted for as changes in estimates. If employee compensation is distributed by shares, the Group calculates the number of shares based on the closing price at the previous day of the board meeting resolution.
(20) Employee share-based payment
For the equity-settled share-based payment arrangements, the employee services received are measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted at the grant date, and are recognised as compensation cost over the vesting period, with a corresponding adjustment to equity. The fair value of the equity instruments granted shall reflect the impact of market vesting conditions and non-market vesting conditions. Compensation cost is subject to adjustment based on the service conditions that are expected to be satisfied and the estimates of the number of equity instruments that are expected to vest under the non-market vesting conditions at each balance sheet date. And ultimately, the amount of compensation cost recognised is based on the number of equity instruments that eventually vest.
(21) Income tax
A. The tax expense for the period comprises current and deferred tax. Tax is recognised in profit or loss, except to the extent that it relates to items recognised in other comprehensive income or items recognised directly in equity, in which cases the tax is recognised in other comprehensive income or equity.
B. The current income tax expense is calculated on the basis of the tax laws enacted or substantively enacted at the balance sheet date in the countries where the Company and its subsidiaries operate and generate taxable income. Management periodically evaluates positions taken in tax returns with respect to situations in accordance with applicable tax regulations. It establishes provisions where appropriate based on the amounts expected to be paid to the tax authorities. An additional 10% tax is levied on the unappropriated retained earnings and is recorded as income tax expense in the year the stockholders resolve to retain the earnings.
C. Deferred income tax is recognised, using the balance sheet liability method, on temporary differences arising between the tax bases of assets and liabilities and their carrying amounts in the consolidated balance sheet. However, the deferred income tax is not accounted for if it arises from initial recognition of goodwill or of an asset or liability in a transaction other than a business combination that at the time of the transaction affects neither accounting nor taxable profit or loss. Deferred income tax is provided on temporary differences arising on investments in subsidiaries, except where the timing of the reversal of the temporary difference is controlled by the Group and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred income tax is determined using tax rates (and laws) that have been enacted or substantially enacted by the balance sheet date and are expected to apply when the related deferred income tax asset is realised or the deferred income tax liability is settled.
D. Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the temporary differences can be utilised. At each balance sheet date, unrecognised and recognised deferred income tax assets are reassessed.

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 may differ from the actual results and 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; and the related information is addressed below:
(1) Realisability of deferred income tax assets
Deferred income tax assets are recognised only to the extent that it is probable that future taxable profit will be available against which the deductible temporary differences can be utilised. 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 December 31, 2015, the Group recognised deferred income tax assets amounting to $23,270.
(2) Measurement of investment property
As investment property is measured at fair value, the Group must determine the net fair value of investment property such as land and buildings on balance sheet date using experts’ judgements and estimates. The Group must adjust costs to fair value based on the valuation reports by experts. Such assessment of investment property is principally based on the demand for the products within the specified period in the future, trading trends of buildings and experts’ judgements and estimates, and may influence the measurement of fair value. Therefore, there might be material changes to the evaluation.
As of December 31, 2015, the Group has recognised investment property of $18,267,391.

C. For the years ended December 31, 2015, and 2014, interests paid on behalf of consignors recognised as deduction of interest expense were $139,453 and $150,485, respectively.
D. The reasons for the Company not providing reserve allowance for uncollectible accounts are as follows:
(a) The debtors of the land development receivables are government organizations, and the possibility of non-payment is remote.
(b) According to the development contracts, proceeds from the sale and rental of the land are to be used first to repay the land development receivables. In addition, the Company can also claim for any related subsidies offered by the government to repay the development costs. Therefore, there is no significant doubt or uncertainty on the collectability of the land development receivables.
(c) The government is the subject of the development and also the owner of the land. Hence, the collectability of the development costs is not associated with the market values of the land. The inspected costs and prices are greater than costs already incurred and the land was sold on inspected prices and the proceeds were all collected. When settling the industrial park revenues and costs, in revenue-above-cost cases, the difference should be handed over to the industrial parks development and management fund based on the “Statute for Industrial Innovation” Article 47. Otherwise, the Company would be compensated by the fund according to the “Act for Industrial Innovation.”
E. The Group’s other receivables that were neither past due nor impaired were fully performing in line with the credit standards prescribed based on counterparties’ industrial characteristics, scale of business and profitability.
F. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, the Group did not hold other receivables that were past due but not impaired.
G. Please refer to Note 8 for the details of pledged land development receivables.

The bonds were listed on the Taipei Exchange on August 18, 2015.
ii. The bondholders have the right to ask for conversion of the bonds into common shares of Company during the period from the date after one month of the bonds issue to 10 days before the maturity date, except the stop transfer period as specified in the terms of the bonds or the laws/regulations.

Ⅵ FINANCIAL INFORMATION
iii. The conversion price was set effective on August 10, 2015. The calculation is based on 110% of the basic price, which is one of the arithmetic mean of the closing prices at 1, 3 and 5 working days prior to the effective date. Ex-rights or ex-dividends price shall be calculated if the ex-rights or ex-dividends date is prior to the conversion date. Conversion prices shall be adjusted in accordance with the formula if the shares go ex-rights or ex-dividends prior to the issuance date. In accordance with the aforementioned approach, the conversion price was NT$12.05 per share at issuance.
iv. The conversion price of the bonds is set up based on the pricing model in the terms of the bonds, and is subject to adjustments if the condition of the anti-dilution provisions occurs subsequently. The conversion price will be reset based on the pricing model in the terms of the bonds on each effective date regulated by the terms. If the reset conversion price is higher than the conversion price before the reset, the conversion price will not be adjusted. As of December 31, 2015, the conversion price was adjusted to NT$10.76.

vi. Under the terms of the bonds, all bonds redeemed (including bonds repurchased from the Taipei Exchange), matured and converted are retired and not to be re-issued; all rights and obligations attached to the bonds are also extinguished.
(b) Regarding the issuance of convertible bonds, the equity conversion options amounting to $4,380 were separated from the liability component and were recognised in ‘capital surplus—stock warrants’ in accordance with IAS 32.

9. SIGNIFICANT CONTINGENT LIABILITIES AND UNRECOGNISED CONTRACT COMMITMENTS
(1) Contingencies
A. On January 21, 2008, Taiwan Innovation Development Corporation (TIDC) signed an engineering contract with Geng-Shin Green Engineering Co., Ltd. (Geng-Shin) to clear up the unsold land located at Kuang Hua Industrial Park 2nd Stage in Hualien. The total price of contract was $11,801. The clear-up project had been separated into 2 stages. The first stage had been completed and accepted on April 23, 2008. The project payment of the first stage had been paid already. However, at the end of the second stage, Geng-Shin failed to attach all the legal documents requested in the contract. TIDC refused to pay the remaining payment amounting to $7,344. Geng-Shin filed a legal claim against TIDC. TIDC counterclaimed that the aforementioned project had been delayed, which caused TIDC to spend an additional $318 for hiring workers to clear up the land. On April 12, 2010, according to the first instance verdict rendered by Taipei District Court, TIDC should pay $6,754 to Geng-Shin, plus interest calculated from November 16, 2008 to the settlement date, and that the counterclaim of TIDC was rejected. On May 22, 2012, Taiwan High Court reversed part of the verdict rendered by Taipei District Court for the part of payment required of TIDC in excess of $6,164, and dismissed the appeal of TIDC for other portions. The Supreme Court has abandoned the original verdict on October 3, 2013, and remanded the case to the High Court. The High Court has rendered a judgment that TIDC shall pay $5,430 along with prejudgment interests at 5% per annum from November 16, 2008 to the day of repayment, and denied other appeals of TIDC. TIDC filed an appeal to the Supreme Court in August 2015 and the case was denied. TIDC shall pay $5,430 along with prejudgment interests at 5% per annum from November 16, 2008 to the day of repayment to TIDC. TIDC claimed that Geng-Shin had not accomplished the services mentioned in the contract, so that TIDC could not finish the inspection level and make the payment. If the lawsuit would result in an unfavorable decision for TIDC, there is still some reserved deductible compensation payment for Geng-Shin. Therefore, TIDC has not yet estimated the expense.

(2) Commitments
A. As of December 31, 2015 and 2014, except for commitments mentioned in Notes 6 (8), (9) and (17), the Company’s aggregate commitments under the consignments for construction and services were $2,906,125 and $3,515,316, respectively. The Company’s aggregate payments under consignments above amounted to $1,931,640 and $2,206,906, respectively.
B.

10. SIGNIFICANT DISASTER LOSS None.
11. SIGNIFICANT EVENTS AFTER THE BALANCE SHEET DATE Please refer to Note 6(20) B(i) for the related information.
12. OTHERS (1) Operational policies
To improve the condition of significant amount of uncollected land development receivables, the Company consolidated its loans from several financial institutions into a 7-year long-term syndicated loan contract with a credit line of $16,500,000 in August 2005. After paying back loans over the years, the debt balance was considerably reduced. In order to expand business, the Company had signed a 5-year long-term syndicated loan contract with a credit line of $5,300,000 in August, 2012. The new syndicated loan was used for paying off the previous syndicated loan, and maintaining sufficient working capital. As of December 31, 2015, the syndicated loan amounted to $3,088,000. Since 2009, the Company has declared stock dividends for 4 consecutive years since the period of privatization, and completed its capital increase by $1,770,000 in October 2011. This indicates that the Company has the potential of maintaining a long-term stable profit margin to support the operations of the Company.
The Company is committed to a diversified land development and value innovation integrated to providing a high-quality lifestyle. The Company tries to infuse new value into the land with ubiquitous technology and green energy technology.
A. Value-oriented development strategies:
The Group adds value to the land through cultural creativity and technological innovation by integrating art as part of life and creating a sustainable healthy LOHAS park.
B. Sustainable development of the IOT and O2O with the cloud the source of value in the future:
As the Internet era changes, its future value will lie in the cloud. The arrival of the Internet of Things (IOT) era means that the reality must be combined with virtual simulation to integrate online-to-offline (O2O) and maximize market and business opportunities.
C. Consolidation of the development of Kinmen as the border trade center:
The visa-on-arrival policy in Kinmen has enabled the number of visitors from Mainland China to hit a record high. Implementation of increased duty-free shopping quota for people coming from Mainland China through Kinmen and the relaxation of Xiamen as a free trade zone further contributed to a steady growth in bilateral trade volume, the importation of excessive quantities of goods to Xiamen, and significantly increased bilateral trade with Xiamen and the West Coast Zone, consolidating the development of Kinmen as a border trade center.
D. Core values of sustainable enterprise:
Employing “green, intelligent, and cultural creativity” as core beliefs, we infuse the land with new value, creating a unique brand image, communicating our corporate philosophy and committing to the construction of high-quality LOHAS spaces for living.

E. Specialization within the Group
Pursuit of overall rationalization of the Group and further enhancement of enterprise synergy through interaction and cooperation of all employees within the Group.
F. The Company has combined the industrial zone with local uniqueness for innovation and increasing value and to further speed up the disposal of unleased and unsold land and collection for payments on behalf of others.
(2) Capital risk management
The Group’s objectives when managing capital are to safeguard the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern in order to provide returns for shareholders and to maintain an optimal capital structure to reduce the cost of capital. In order to maintain or adjust the capital structure, the Group may adjust the amount of dividends paid to shareholders, return capital to shareholders, issue new shares or sell assets to reduce debt. The Group monitors capital on the basis of the gearing ratio. This ratio is calculated as net debt divided by total capital. Net debt is calculated as total borrowings (including ‘current and non-current borrowings’ as shown in the balance sheet) less cash. Total capital is calculated as ‘equity’ as shown in the balance sheet plus net debt.
During 2015, the Group’s strategy, which was unchanged from 2014, was to maintain the gearing ratio under 50%. The gearing ratios at December 31, 2015 and 2014 were as follows:
December 31, 2015 December 31, 2014
Total borrowings $ 9,207,627 $ 7,757,648
Less: cash ( 2,622,966) ( 4,155,290)
Net debt 6,584,661 3,602,358
Total equity 17,440,945 15,739,364

(b) Credit risk
Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients on the contract obligations. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analyzing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. The counterparties are government organizations of all cities and counties with high credit quality, thus, there is no critical credit risk.
(c) Liquidity risk
Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group treasury. Group treasury 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 so that the Group does not breach borrowing limits or covenants on any of its borrowing facilities. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s debt financing plans, covenant compliance, compliance with internal balance sheet ratio targets and external regulatory or legal requirements.

(4) Fair value information
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(3).
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.
Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Group’s investment in bank debentures is included in Level 2.
Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability. The fair value of the Group’s investment in investment property is included in Level 3.
C. The related information of financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level on the basis of the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities at December 31, 2015 and 2014 is as follows:

Note: Investment property is measuredat fair value.
D. The methods and assumptions the Group used to measure fair value are as follows:
(a) The fair value of financial instruments is measured by using valuation techniques or by reference to counterparty quotes. The fair value of financial instruments measured by using valuation techniques can be referred to current fair value of instruments with similar terms and characteristics in substance, discounted cash flow method or other valuation methods, including calculated by applying model using market information available at the consolidated balance sheet date (i.e. yield curves on the Taipei Exchange, average commercial paper interest rates quoted from Reuters).
(b) Under “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers”, the Group appoints external valuers, by using the income approach to calculate the fair value of investment property. Related assumption and information of inputs are as follows:
i. Cash flow: Cash flow shall be valuated on the basis of existing lease contracts, rent at local market rates, or current market rents for similar comparable properties in the same location and condition, and overvalued and undervalued comparable properties shall be excluded. If there is a period-end value, the discounted present period-end value may be added.
ii. Analysis period: When there is no specified period for the income, the analysis period in principle shall not be longer than 10 years; when there is a specified period for the income, the income shall be estimated for the remainder of the specified period.
iii. Discount rate: The discount rate shall be determined using the risk premium approach only, with the calculation based on a certain interest rate, plus the estimate for the individual characteristics of the investment property. The language "based on a certain interest rate" means the interest rate may not be lower than the floating interest rate on a 2-year time deposit of a small amount, as posted by the Chunghwa Post Co. Ltd., plus 0.75 percentage points.
E. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2.
F. For the movements of Level 3 for the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, please refer to Note 6(8).
G. For the years ended December 31, 2015 and 2014, there was no transfer into or out from Level 3.

4. Effect of Major Capital Expenditures in 2015 on Financial Operations: None.5. 2015 Investment Policy, Main Causes for Profits or Losses, Improvement Plans
and the Investment Plans for the Coming Year (1) Reinvestment Policy:
In response to the integration between virtual and physical business operation trends as well as the need to provide Taiwanese consumers with fresh and delicious dining options, the Company has created joint ventures "FLOUR & SALT" and "THE BUN SHOP", a honeycomb-style business service model based on Internet APP stores while incorporating regional brick and mortar outlets to provide consumers with tangible experiences and services.

TIDC's revenue comes mainly from business activities derived from the Company, which include integrated marketing for the Group, development project planning and consultancy services. The after-tax earnings per share for 2015 is NT$2.47, mainly due to mark-to-market valuation of real estate investment, by which fair value is recognized, and earnings are adjusted accordingly.
(3) Plans for Improvement:
TIDC will continue to focus on cultural creative marketing, application of smart technologies, resource integration and green development to help the Company expand its innovative business and endeavors.
(4) Investment Plans for the Coming Year:
Depending on the overall development of the industry, the economic and business cycles, and capital requirements and operational conditions of TIDC and its invested businesses, the company will infuse cash into TIDC to expand its operations and sources of revenue.

A. Interest rate: In light of the steady increase in consumer prices in Taiwan as well as a slower pace in global economic recovery, the Central Bank continues to uphold a lax monetary policy and interest rate reduction policy in 2016, which have no significant impact on the Company.
B. Exchange rate: The Company is in the housing and real estate industry serving mainly the domestic market. Thus exchange rate fluctuations have no material impact on the Company.
C. Inflation: With the pressure of inflation eased, real estate has always been regarded as the best weapon to fight inflation and circumvent risks. Such notion aids the sale of the Company’s land in industrial parks and real estate assets.
D. Response measures: Upon assessment, it is determined that the risks stated above have no significant impact on the Company loss or profit. The Company shall, however, endeavor to gain the latest market information in order to respond in a timely manner should the need arise.
(2) Policies, Main Causes of Gain or Loss and Future Response Measures with Respect to High-risk, High-leveraged Investments, Lending or Endorsement Guarantees, and Derivatives Transactions:
Currently the Company does not possess any high-risk or highly leveraged investments. In the future, if the Company engages in lending to other parties, providing endorsements and guarantees or trading derivative instruments, the Company shall conduct these transactions in accordance with the provisions of the “Regulations Governing the Acquisition and Disposal of Assets by Public Companies,” “Regulations Governing Loaning of Funds and Making of Endorsements/Guarantees by Public Companies” and regulations that apply to the Company.
(3) Future Research and Development Projects and Corresponding budget: Refer to page 59.
(4) Effects of and Response to Changes in Policies and Regulations Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales:
The new "Consolidated Income Tax System for House and Land" recently promulgated by the Ministry of Finance increases the tax rate for sale of housing. The amended Article 5 of the House Tax Act limits the number of self-use houses which enjoy favorable property tax rate to 3 and stipulates that local governments may establish differential tax rates based on the number of houses owned by the owner, which will increase the tax burden for owners of houses not for self use. Both moves by the government are expected to adversely impact the sale and prices of real estate in the market. The Central Bank cut interest rates by 0.125% three times in a row in September and December 2015 and March 24, 2016 and relaxed the "selective credit control" of real estate loan to mitigate the impact of consolidated housing and land tax on the real estate market.
In addition, the Spatial Planning Act, which was promulgated on January 6, 2016, demarcates functional zoning, establishes use permit system that newly established (or expanded) urban plans or development projects shall be limited to those located in "rural-urban development areas" and the areas shall be demarcated following comprehensive review of spatial planning where change of zoning for individual projects are not allowed. This new measure will change significantly the urban expansion mode in the past and switch to compact development where urban development that used to focus on the periphery of a city will be reverted back to the renewal of urban center.
Response measures against market risk: Emphasize the ideas of “green, cultural creativity and intelligence" and incorporate eco-friendliness, creativity and technology in development projects to create LOHAS space of high quality that appeals to consumers.
Response measures against interest rate fluctuation: The Company will liaise with various large banks and financial institutions to obtain favorable interest rates in order to lower the burden on companies and consumers for land and housing purchases.
(5) Effects of and Response to Changes in Technology and in Industry Relating to Corporate Finance and Sales: None.
(6) The Impact of Changes in Corporate Image on the Corporate Risk Management, and the Company’s Response Measures: None.

(7) Expected Benefits from, Risk Relating to and Response to Merger and Acquisition Plans: None.
(8) Expected Benefits from, Risk Relating to and Response to Factory and Expansion Plans: None.
(9) Risks Relating to and Response to Excessive Concentration of Purchasing Sources and Excessive Customer Concentration:
In 2015, the client that accounted for more than 10% of operating revenues in the Company's income statement was Taichung City Government, reaching 60.35%. It is evident that for 2015, major sources of revenue came from sales of real estate properties and the development of industrial parks. In order to expand revenue sources, the Company has been aggressively pushing forward renovation projects for industrial parks as well as the development of its owned assets,in an attempt to lower risks associated with concentration of sales.
(10) Effects of, Risks Relating to and Response to Large Share Transfer or Changes in Shareholdings by Directors, Supervisors, or Shareholders with Shareholding of over 10%: None.
(11) Effects of, Risks Relating to and Response to Changes in Control over the Company: None.
(12) Litigation or Non-litigation Matters: None.
(13) Other Major Risks: None.
7. Other Important Matters: None.
