1.0 Business Report 2020

Dear Shareholders,

International Crude Palm Oil Price (CPO price) rised from the bottom of the fourth quarter of 2018, and continued to rise since May 2020, even reached a 10-year high by the end of 2020. However, Covid-19 pandemic has caused labor shortage in Malaysia oil palm industry. Meanwhile, La Nina phenomenon in 2019 resulted in insufficient fruit production. Unike the rapid rebound of CPO price, the oil palm industry takes steady steps of recovery and the fertilizer budget of plantations also shows a slow mode of adjustment.

The company’s strategy of expanding to different crop field is effective and helps to adjust revenue structure under current uncertain environemnt. In addition to losses in the first quarter due to the impact of the pandemic, the company resumed profitable from the second quarter of 2020 and achieves risk diversification and efficiency optimization by diversifying product types. In the mean time, our other mid- and long-term plans are still being steadily deployed, and we are highly confidient in the development of the company. It is our honor to present the company’s past year’s operating results and futures prospects to shareholders.

Net Profit For
The Year
82,204 35,694 46,510 130.30%

In 2020, the company’s revenue decreased by 7.07% as compared with 2019. It is mainly because CPO price fluctuated in 2019 and resulted in late opening of 2020 first half bid, which further led to significant shipment decline in January and February. Coupled with the fact that the Malaysian government implemented “Movement Control Order” in mid-March in response to the spread of Covid-19, operations in the first quarter of 2020 fell to the bottom. The company resumed operation quickly as we belong to essential economic sectors, and operations gradually stabilized since the second quarter. As the environment has not yet stabilized, the plantation's 2020 fertilizer budget did not increase significantly with the rising CPO price, and plantations’ willingness to apply biochemical fertilizers is still more conservative than before. However, our long-standing research and development of microorganisms, plant vaccines, health foods and other diversified products started to contribute. Among them, microbial fertilizer N-bio booster for paddy has received a

1

two-year subsidy from the Malaysian government to provide sustainable revenue.

Considering the impact of the overall environment and the adjustment of product structure, although our 2020 revenue decreased in comparison with the previous year, our profit increase to 82,204 thousand by 130.30%.

2. 2021 Operation Plan Summary:

The Malaysian Palm Oil Council (MPOC) predicts that the export volume of Malaysian palm oil in 2021 will increase by 22.62% compared to 2020. However, under the influence of the climate, the overall supply of palm oil may shrink. Although the CPO price is at a relatively high point, the biochemical fertilizer market is still slowly recovering. Hence, in addition to stablizing our share in fertilizer market and develop new customers, the company takes further step to emphasize the expansion of diversifed business and to further optimize sales structure. With our long lasting relationship with customers, we use our key microbial technology to obtain organic materials or chemical raw materials to create a future prosperity.

According to the estimation of MPOC, CPO price will remain at MYR3,000 (approxmately US$747.29) per meteric ton in 2021. In addition to Malaysia, the company is also actively exploring new markets in Indonesia, and is ready to compelte the construction of the Indonesia plant to further expand operations once the Covid-19 pandemic slows down. As for Green Circular Economy, the company will continute to cooperate with plantaions to set up specialized treatment plants around their refineries, directly recyling remaining organic matters in the oil extraction process, put micoorgamisms according to different needs to produce plant vanccies to prevent Ganoderma and other plant disease. Futhermore, to reuse the remaining matters from recyling to make biochemical fertilizer which could not only improve soil pH, to effecitve protect the environment, but to improve the soil’s ability to absorb nutrients.

After 20 years of deep cultivation in the Malaysian biochemical fertilizer market, the company has grown in the past with higher average growth rate of the overall fertilizer industry and has become a pioneer in the global bio-compound fertilizer industry. The company has more than 600 kinds of

2

microbial strains and two patented technologies with high-end agricultural technology, including quantitative microbial technology and stabilzer technology platform. As global awarness on sustainable agriculture, improvement of soil degradation and ecological problems arise, the company’s advanced technology can hep to improve and maintain the environemnet moving towards the goal of green agricutre. Through continuous efforts to improve, research and development, we lay a soild foundation for future growth.

We hope that we can show our business results to our shareholders with our peers’ efforts and our dedication. We commit to the spirit of continuous improvement and would like to thank our partners, sharheolders and hardworking staffs for your long-standing support. Thank you for allowing me to express my sincere gratitude here!

Date: March 26, 2021

With respect to the internal control system for 2020, based on the self inspection result, we hereby represent as follows:

I. The Company is aware that the establishment, implementation and maintenance of the internal control system are the responsibility of the board of directors and managers of the company. The Company has established this system. The purpose is to provide reasonable results in terms of operational effectiveness and efficiency (including profitability, performance and asset security, etc.), reporting reliability, timeliness, transparency, compliance with relevant regulations and compliance with relevant laws and regulations.

II. The internal control system has its inherent limitations. Regardless of how well the design is perfected, an effective internal control system can only provide reasonable assurance of the achievement of the above three objectives; and, due to changes in the environment and conditions, the effectiveness of the internal control system may change. However, the company's internal control system has a self-monitoring mechanism. Once the identification is missing, the company will take corrective action.

III. The Company judges whether the design and implementation of the internal control system is effective based on the judgment item of the effectiveness of the internal control system as stipulated in the “Guidelines for the Establishment of Internal Control System for Public Offering Companies” (hereinafter referred to as “Processing Guidelines”). The internal control system judgment project used in the “processing criteria” is based on the process of management control, and the internal control system is divided into five components: 1. Environment Control, 2. Risk assessment, 3. Operation control, 4. Information and communication, and 5. Operations Supervision. Each component also includes several items. Please refer to the “Handling Guidelines” for the above items.

IV. The company has adopted the above internal control system to judge the project and evaluate the effectiveness of the design and implementation of the internal control system.

V. Based on the results of the previous assessment, the Company believes that the internal control system (including supervision and management of subsidiaries) of the Company on December 31, 2020, including the understanding of the effectiveness and efficiency objectives of the operation, and reporting the design and implementation of the internal control system, which is reliable, timely, transparent and in compliance with relevant regulations and laws, is effective and can reasonably ensure the achievement of the above objectives.

VI. This statement will become the main content of the company's annual report and public statement, and will be made public. If the content of the above disclosure is illegal or concealed, it will involve legal liabilities such as Articles 20, 32, 171 and 174 of the Securities Exchange

Law.

5.1.2 Industry Overview

  • (1) Current Status And Development Of Industry

  • A. Industry Status

Among the agricultural materials, the use of fertilizers is the largest. According to the production process, the fertilizers can be roughly divided into chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers and biological fertilizers. Each of the fertilizers has its advantages and disadvantages, and it needs to be integrated to exert the advantages of the fertilizers, so as to achieve uniform development of the industry and complement each other.

Chemical fertilizers generally have direct and rapid effects, and are more competitive in price than biological fertilizers and organic fertilizers, so they are easily accepted and adopted by users. However, chemical fertilizers often cause over-application per unit area due to ease of use, resulting in weak resistance of plant, high acidic and deterioration of soil fertility, and high concentrations of nitrate in agricultural products. It is more difficult to estimate the environmental pollution caused by long-term or improper application of chemical fertilizers. At present, agricultural production uses organic fertilizers, microbial fertilizers and mineral fertilizers to replace parts of chemical fertilizers, and the use of microbial fertilizers to promote the utilization efficiency of chemical fertilizers is a soil biotechnology that is currently worth of attention.

60

Organic fertilizers are made from the residues of animals, plants or microorganisms and their excreta. Although organic fertilizers often contain microorganisms in nature, they are naturally grown rather than artificially selected and cultured. It belongs to microbial fertilizer. If a specific artificially selected microorganism is added to the organic fertilizer, it may be referred to as an organic composite microbial fertilizer or a microbial composite organic fertilizer. The application advantage of organic fertilizer is that the effect is mild and less harmful to the soil, and the application is helpful to the ecological maintenance of the soil. Due to the volume is large, the application cost is high, and the production of compost requires a large area of land and plant equipment, which is time-consuming and labor-intensive. The production process needs to solve the odor and wastewater problems, and it is still necessary to avoid large or improper application.

Biological fertilizer refers to a specific preparation for cultivating active microorganisms or dormant spores, such as bacteria (including actinomycetes), fungi, algae, etc., and their metabolites, and is used in crop production to provide plant nutrients or promote nutrient utilization. Biological fertilizer has the advantages of low pollution, not harmful, low application rate and ecological friendly, but it has a certain shelf life, and the effect is more susceptible to environmental influences. The fertilizer efficiency is slower, sometimes it was applied together with chemical fertilizers and organic fertilizers. Through an effective management model, biological fertilizers can improve the availability of nutrients in the soil, improve soil properties, antagonize pathogens in soils or implants, reduce or replace chemical fertilizer application, and improve problems caused by excessive fertilization.

In recent years, with the increasing demand for global crops, the erratic weather, changes in soil and ecological problems, and the rising awareness of environmental protection, bio-fertilizers has become more important in agricultural-related markets. As the demand for bio-fertilizers increase rapidly, the company continues to deepen research and development in the field of beneficial micro-organisms, by having a wealth of useful microbiological data, it is able to develop and compound multi-functional intelligent biochemical compound fertilizers according to different soil and pest problems faced by each customer. Optimize and quantify core technologies for beneficial microbes as a competitive advantage in the industry. MarketsandMarkets market survey predicts that by 2025, the global biofertilizer market is estimated to reach 3.9 billion US dollars. According to “Current world fertilizer trends and outlook to 2022” from FAO, as of 2018, the world used about 189 million tons of fertilizers, an increase of 1.3% over 2017. Asia is the main fertilizer market, and Indonesia and Malaysia are the main fertilizer consumption countries.

61

According to the "2019-2023 Fertilizer Outlook" published by IFA in June 2019, the global fertilizer demand in 2019/2020 is about 195 million tons, and it is estimated that fertilizer demand will only slightly increase to 204 million tons in 2023/2024. In 2019-2023, the investment in the production equipment of the fertilizer industry is expected to exceed US$110 billion, and the newly added capacity is about 6,500 tons. In five years, the demand will increase by 1.3% annually, and the supply will increase by about 1.6%.

B. Industry Development

(A) Malaysia

According to the Malaysian Bureau of Statistics, the total planting area in Malaysia is about 7.8 million hectares. The amount of fertilizer used in 2013-2019 and the output of fertilizer in Malaysia have also grown steadily. In 2013, Malaysia produced 2.62 million tons of fertilizers. By 2019, the output has increased to 3.72 million tons. Malaysia's overall fertilizer production has grown year by year with the total area planted in Malaysia, indicating that the use of fertilizer is still an indispensable investment in Malaysian agricultural planting.

In recent years, with the increase in global crop demand and weather changes, soil and ecological damage, global environmental awareness has risen, although the impact of international oil palm price fluctuations and the Covid-19 epidemic in the past two years resulted in the tendency of rising usage of chemical fertilizers, however, plantations have a certain knowledge of the advantages of biochemical compound fertilizers, and gradually have the concept of crop disease prevention. The future market of compound fertilizers and plant vaccines is still promising.

The fertilizer market in Malaysia can be divided into two major items: unit fertilizer and compound fertilizer. According to Universiti Putra Malaysia, Malaysia's unit fertilizer production accounted for 55.62% of the Malaysian fertilizer market in 2014, but with the strict rules of the Malaysian governments to hire foreign workers, labor costs have increased, and the use of unit fertilizers is facing the dilemma of labor shortage and labor costs. The use of compound fertilizer by large-scale planting groups has gradually increased. The company has always in the leading position in Malaysia’s biochemical compound fertilizer market. .

(B) China

Mainland China is the world's largest fertilizer user, but under large-scale application, organic fertilizers are insufficient, which leads to the destruction of soil fertility structure and low fertilizer utilization. The Chinese government has announced that chemical fertilizers will be gradually replaced, and the goal of reducing chemical fertilizers is to use a combination of microbial fertilizers and chemical fertilizers. China has been engaging in developing microbial fertilizers for nearly 50 years, has more than 300 bio-fertilizer producers with an annual output of over 500,000 tons and bio-fertilizer used areas reaching 167 million hectares. recent years, the concept of microbial fertilizer management in mainland China has evolved from the past guarantee of ingredients and fertilizer effects to the safety control of microbial strains, as to whether the microbial fertilizer has the declared effectiveness, the market mechanism will eliminate the undesirable ones. In order to manage the microbial materials in the market, mainland China continues to develop and implement regulations, has a dedicated testing center to assist in the development of technologies and standards, and uses big data to obtain appropriate fertilizer formulations.

(C) Taiwan

Taiwan is located in a subtropical region, and the climate pattern of high temperature and rain has a great influence on the activities of soil microorganisms. In recent years, farmers have introduced more effective microorganisms in the production of crops, using microorganisms to promote production and improve soil. In order to cooperate with the new agricultural promotion plan, the Taiwan government promotes domestic organic and environmentally friendly farming. Since 2017, it has strengthened the promotion of organic fertilizers and added subsidies for microbial fertilizers and organic compound fertilizers, and further guided farmers to reduce the use of chemical fertilizers to promote domestic organic and friendly environmental development.

63

(2) Industrial Up stream, Middle And Downstream Relationship

The company is a professional fertilizer manufacturer, mainly producing compound fertilizers consisting of organic matter, microbes and chemical raw materials. The main raw materials of the products are nitrogen, phosphorus, potassium and other inorganic chemicals, organic raw materials and microbial strains. After the manufacturer processes, the finished products will deliver to downstream large-scale farms, dealers and farmers, the industrial relationship map is as follows:

==> picture [392 x 61] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [392 x 61] intentionally omitted <==

==> picture [392 x 9] intentionally omitted <==

A. Upstream Raw Materials

(A) Chemical Fertilizer

Also known as inorganic fertilizer, mainly urea, ammonia sulfate main production plant, phosphate mine processing plant, potassium mine developer, magnesium oxide processing plant and boron supplier. Since there is no large-scale production or mining of inorganic chemical minerals such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium in Malaysia, the main source still relies on imports. Due to the limited natural resources of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, as the world's population grows and the demand for food and crops increases, the use of fertilizers by farmers is increasing, and the demand and prices of raw materials such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium are stable. According to the "World Fertilizer Trends and Outlook to 2022", the supply and demand of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium raw materials remain minor changes. On the whole, the main raw materials for chemical fertilizers are nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium. Therefore, there is no supply shortage of the main raw material sources of the

64

company, which will affect the operational risks of production.

(B) Organic Fertilizer

The organic fertilizer raw materials are mainly waste residues of coffee processing plants, cocoa processing plants, palm oil processing plants or other organic raw materials. As Malaysia is a major palm oil exporter in the world, the large amount of waste residue after the refining of palm oil has caused the organic raw materials to fluctuate little over the years. Therefore, the organic fertilizer raw materials have no operational risks arising from insufficient supply or significant price changes.

(C) Microorganism

The fertilizer market in Malaysia is still dominated by chemical fertilizers, As microbial fertilizers are in the growth stage in Malaysia, more and more companies in Malaysia are beginning to invest in the microbial market. The main sources of microbial bacteria currently produced by the company are self-developed and cooperating with other academic or government organizations, such as the Malaysian University of Technology and the Malaysian Oil Palm Bureau (MPOB), the company has successfully developed and mass-produced microbial bacteria including nitrogen-fixing bacteria, nitrifying bacteria, phosphate-dissolving bacteria and yeast. Therefore, the microbiological sources required by the Company's products are not yet expose to the operational risks arising from insufficient supply or significant price changes.

B. Middle stream - Fertilizer Processing And Manufacturing

The Malaysian fertilizer manufacturing industry is a completely open market. In Malaysia, no biochemical compound fertilizer manufacturer is sufficient to monopolize the market. Therefore, the market price of biochemical compound fertilizer is determined by the market supply and demand mechanism. In recent years, with the increase in salary and the implementation of the Malaysian completion protection law, the manpower costs of fertilizer manufacturers have been rising, the gross profit has been compressed, and the price movements of inorganic chemicals such as nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium,, the appreciation of the US dollar exchange rate, and other factors will also affect the fertilizer manufacturing industry.

In recent years, the values of environmental protection and eco green industry have been advocated in the society, the environmental protection concept of farmers has continued to increase. In addition, the application of chemical fertilizers has caused the problem of soil deterioration becoming more serious, and the acidification of soil is not suitable for farming or the rapid decline of plant resistance has reduced farmer’s income. As a result, farmers began to accept the concept of “developing sustainable agriculture” that decrease the use of pure chemical fertilizers in hope of

maintaining ecological balance, reduces environmental pollution, and ultimately

65

reduces production costs and energy consumption. Therefore, the acceptance of biochemical compound fertilizers produced by the company has gradually increased in the market, and revenue has continued to grow.

C. Downstream - Fertilizer User

The domestic fertilizer users in Malaysia are mainly government or privately owned landowners, farmers' associations and general farmers. The company has long-term cooperation with government-related investment companies, large private enterprises or professional oil palm plantation companies. According to the Malaysian Bureau of Statistics, agricultural-related activities accounts for 7.5% of Malaysia’s GDP in 2018, in which 37.9% is from oil palm plantation. while Malaysia and Indonesia are the world's major palm oil producers, so the downstream fertilizer market should not be significantly changed.

(3) Various Development Trends Of Products

Traditional fertilizers are mainly made up of organic fertilizers, which are made from animal, plant or microbial residues and their excreta. For example, dead leaves, grass ash, rice bran, leftovers, leftovers, bean cakes and oilseeds are all sources of fertilizer. With the advancement of technology, chemical fertilizers made from chemical substances have become the main products in the market. Chemical fertilizers have the advantages of quick effect and low price, and are used by consumers for a long time. However, with the long-term use of chemical fertilizers, the plant resistance is weakened, the soil acidification is degraded, the agricultural products contain high concentrations of nitrates, and the environmental pollution is more serious. Therefore, consumers gradually replace the unit fertilizer with multifunctional fertilizers. In addition to providing nutrients, increasing production capacity and yield, biochemical compound fertilizers have fertilizers that prevent pests and diseases. For example, the company developed Anti-Ganoderma Lucidum product fertilizer as therapeutic for oil palm disease in 2012.

(4) Competitive Situation

Due to the low entry barriers for the production and sale of chemical fertilizers, the fertilizers used in the market are still dominated by chemical fertilizers. However, with the promotion of the company and the increase in customer use, the multi-functional compound fertilizer is gradually accepted by more consumers. The fertilizer produced by the company is mainly composed of organic, micro-organisms and chemical substances. Currently, there are only few manufacturers having the similar products in Malaysia, hence less competition; The Company ‘s direction is to strive for making more chemical fertilizer consumers to switch to multi-functional fertilizers.

5.1.3 Technology and R&D Overview

66

(1) Company Technology and R&D Overview

The company continues to focus on research and development and is one of the few companies that have successfully used beneficial microbiota (EM) in organic and bio-fertilizers. Besides her own research achievements, the company has also worked with other agencies such as the Malaysian Palm Oil Board and the Malaysian Rubber Board to develop effective microbial-based fertilizers. Follow by the MPOB F4 oil palm fertilizer being successfully produced, the GanoEF which specifically for prevention and treatment of Ganoderma Lucidum was developed.

The interaction between plants and microorganisms is an important issue in today's agricultural biotechnology. The company conducts research and product development for plant beneficial microorganisms, harmful microorganisms and nematodes on the basis of modern biology and the use of modern biotechnology. Beneficial microorganisms, such as the screening and application of growth-promoting bacteria, the improvement of the efficiency of phosphate-dissolving bacteria and nitrogen-fixing bacteria; the detection of harmful microorganisms, such as understanding the pathogenic mechanism of harmful microorganisms and increasing the resistance of plants themselves; Infection rules of important crops, screening and application of natural nematode resistance.

In order to enhance the understanding of the beneficial microbiota and to consider its potential and future development, the company established a research and development center in the Biotechnology Zone of the Malaysian University of Technology in Johor to develop and cultivate beneficial microorganisms. The company will also work with local and overseas companies to provide expertise and formulas to meet their demand. The company's research and development direction provides the development of microbial flora, biocontrol series, the production of single beneficial bacteria, the diversification of bacterial transport applications and field technical support.

The company has cooperated with the Malaysian University of Technology since 2009, and established the company's independent research and development team in 2011. The company now has mature facilities and skills, using the original ecological strain screening technology to separate, screen and preserve various bacteria. At present, more than 500 strains have been established. These strains can be accurately commercialized through identification tests and evaluation platforms for anti-antagonism, nutrient exchange, immune induction, and adversity protection for market positioning. In the fermentation production and cultivation of strains, we have developed quantification according to the growth characteristics and environmental requirements of each strain, optimized the fermentation production process, and cultivated a high concentration of bacterial liquid in a short time and cost savings.

67

The R&D team of the company often communicates with customers to understand the current needs of farmers and the problems to be solved in the field. For example, after the GanoEF product is launched into the market, the R&D team will go to different fields to collect sample the active substance of the roots and soil for laboratory quantitative tests. Test reports will be provided to the farmers, simultaneously increase the diversity of research samples in order to make the tests more accurate. Some customers required to do experiment in their own field before selecting a product. the R&D team will work with the customer to formulate the experimental design, present the performance of the product scientifically, and improve the customer’s trust and confidence towards to the product and company with perfect pre-sales and after-sales service.

The complete R&D and technical team can support the development of the company's products, from strain screening, preservation, optimization and quantification, productization, field trials, to customer after-sales service and other additional consulting services are the basis for the company's sustainable development. The R&D team established by the company can support the operation of microbial screening to production, and can also separate and purify the strains of soil, roots, fertilizers, etc. The company established a set of automated 5-50-500L fermentation tanks in 2015; this equipment platform can support more accurate quantitative production processes, develop culture parameters for the mass production needs of different strains, shorten fermentation time, reduce energy consumption and increase the concentration of bacteria, thus reducing production costs.

(2) Research Development Situation

The company always has great interest for research and development. Besides conducting new product research and development, it has also continuously improve the existing products and process adjustments to enhance the production efficiency and quality. The research results are as follows:

(2) Market share

According to the 2015 survey data of the Department of Statistics Malaysia, the fertilizer market in Malaysia is still dominated by chemical fertilizers. Because Malaysian oil palm is mainly a large-scale planting company, the current unit fertilizer market is still higher than compound fertilizer. Refer to Universiti Putra Malaysia. According to the report, Malaysia's total fertilizer production in 2014 was 4.7 million tons, and the company's market share in 2014 was about 4.25%. At present, although the Malaysian market is still dominated by chemical unit fertilizers, the company's products can adjust the soil pH and organic content, so the application effect is better than chemical fertilizers in the land with low productivity or poor long-term application of chemical fertilizer pollution. With the increase in environmental awareness and the increase in long-term land pollution, the company's market share is expected to increase.

(3) Market Supply And Demand Situation And Growth In The Future

A. Global population growth pushes up overall demand

The global fertilizer market is closely related to food demand. As the global population continues to grow, it will push up global food demand and crop prices. With limited global arable land, increasing unit production has become the most urgent way for countries to solve food problems. In addition to the use of various fertilizers to increase unit yield and improve production efficiency, fertilizers with low cost and versatility are more acceptable to consumers.

According to the information released by FAO on Current world fertilizer trends and outlook to 2022, the demand for nitrogen, phosphorus, and potassium for chemical

76

fertilizers is still rising, and Asia is the world's main fertilizer market region. With the continuous population growth and limited arable land, the application of high-efficiency and low-cost fertilizers is the main trend, and the global fertilizer market should not undergo major changes.

B. High-performance, low-application, low-toxic compound fertilizer trend

In the case of continuous population growth and limited arable land, the application of higher-efficiency and low-cost fertilizers is the main development trend. It is different from the large-scale application of general chemical fertilizers in the past. The current market demand is toward organic, micro-organisms with multifunctional and chemical compound fertilizer. Meaning, under the principle of reducing the use of chemical fertilizers and reducing the toxicity to the soil, appropriate compound fertilizer products are developed for the growth patterns and nutritional needs of different plants.

(4) Competitive Niche

A. Key Technology Threshold

Through the combination of chemical substances, organic fertilizers and microorganisms, the company has successfully developed biochemical compound fertilizers. By combining inorganic and organic to enhance soil pH and increase crop nutrient absorption, the company has improved its culture. Equipment and key patented technologies, the key beneficial microorganisms that are extracted and cultured from the soil, is to stabilize nitrogen in the air and soil, also contribute to the decomposition of phosphorus, acid, salt, potassium and organic matter, to allow plants to absorb directly, thereby increasing the fertilizers application, as well as the yield of crops compared with chemical fertilizers. The microbial flora can also enhance the immunity of crops against disease, make crops premature, antifreeze and increase water retention and drought resistance.

At present, the general compound fertilizers on the market are still dominated by chemical fertilizers. A few fertilizer manufacturers also produce chemical organic compound fertilizers. However, the production methods are to mix organic fertilizers with separately purchased chemical fertilizers to let the fertilizer contains organic and microbial components. This method of production is easy to cause microbial death. Therefore, how to combine chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers and microbial fertilizers into appropriate configurations has become the threshold for entry into the industry. The company has been researched for many years. Stabilization technology can

77

effectively combine microorganisms with chemicals to successfully produce commercialized fertilizers.

Furthermore, even if the microbial death caused by chemical fertilizers is overcome, the oil palms need at least 2-3 years from plant, and when new products are to be introduced into the market, they must be planted in two rounds, with at least 5- 6 years of product testing. If successful, there are opportunities to win customers' willingness to adopt. The key technologies used by the company effectively combine chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers and microbial fertilizers, and effectively prevent the contact of microorganisms and chemical fertilizers, so that microorganisms are not easily damaged, and the benefits of fertilizers are effectively maximized, so the key technology entry threshold is the company. An important competitive niche.

B. Product efficacy extends to pest control

Over the years, Malaysian oil palm tree has been seriously affected by ganoderma disease. Ganoderma lucidum is caused by Ganoderma fungus. The disease occurs at the base of the stem of the tree, so it is also called Basal Stem Rot. The infection rate of oil palm plantation About 20%, during the period of 10-12 years after planting the seedlings, it will lead to a significant reduction in production of more than 80%, which is a fatal disease of oil palm trees. In the early stage of Ganoderma lucidum, there are 1-3 pieces of Ganoderma lucidum fruit body in the stem base of the tree. The body shape is generally less than 3 cubic centimeters. The leaves are not drooping and dry, and the tree base condition is still hard. However, the plant vascular bundle is damaged and cannot be recovered. The Ganoderma lucidum fruiting body increased by 3-10 pieces, the leaves began to turn yellow and showed slight sagging, the tree body tissue began to soften, part of the Ganoderma lucidum body matured, the amount of the tree body became less and the fruit pieces became smaller; in the end stage, the Ganoderma lucidum fruiting body increased to more than 10 pieces, the body is hypertrophy, spread around the roots of the tree, the base of the stem can be easily excavated by sharp objects, the tree has no result, and the plant will be declared dead. According to statistics from the Federal Land Development Authority of Malaysia, ganoderma disease is happening in Malaysia annually. The damage is up to tens of billions of Taiwan dollars, which seriously jeopardizes the economic growth of the oil palm industry.

In order to effectively solve the harm of Ganoderma lucidum to oil palm trees, the company and the Malaysian Oil Palm Bureau have successfully developed Hendsonia, an endophytic fungus that controls Ganoderma lucidum in 2012, and launched a four-in-one

78

biochemical compound fertilizer containing endophytic fungi. And can reduce the incidence of 70% of Ganoderma lucidum disease. By successfully developing the control effect of Ganoderma lucidum disease, the company has extended the fertilizer to the field of pest control, and is far ahead of other competitors. The company will continue to strive to prevent pests and diseases in the future. In order to be ahead from competitors, the company's products will partially replace the farmers' demand for pesticides and increase the added value of fertilizer use.

C. Safe and reliable brand reputation

The fertilizer product is directly used in the soil, and the crop system absorbs the nutrients and elements in the soil through the roots. However, the fertilizer is not completely absorbed by the crop, and there are still residual substances in the soil, so it can improve the soil pH value and improve the crop. In addition to the effects of yield and quality, the impact of residues of fertilizer products on crops and the environment cannot be ignored. In an industry that needs to strengthen product safety, technical support and goodwill, a safe and reliable brand image is very important. The company understands the cost and product efficiency of farmers, prefers fertilizers certified by government units or recommended by the government, and once farmers are accustomed to using a certain product, in order to ensure the stability of their crops, it is not easy to replace other brands. Due to the habits of use, the company has been striving to develop R&D for many years, continuously improving product quality, and has been certified by government agencies. With the brand name “Real Strong”, the company actively expands her product sales market and carefully tests the soil conditions of the area in line with local needs. The right formula has obtained high added value in every link of the industrial chain. After years of hard work, the company has established a good reputation in the industry, providing farmers with stable product quality, sincere after-sales service and good technical support. Reliable products to increase farmers' brand loyalty.

D. Steady layout of production base and actively develop sales network

The company actively explores the sales market, based on Malaysia's stable layout, gradually sets up production bases, and actively establishes distribution networks in various places. The company plans to extend her products to the world. Her clients include government-to-investment companies and large private enterprises. Farmers' associations, regional distributors and end users-farmers. In the expansion of the market strategy, through the sales pipeline established after careful evaluation, the newly developed areas mainly through dealers, and hold public welfare briefings, to help and

79

teach farmers in various areas to improve soil, and improve production and quality, to brand the concept enters the pipeline to enhance the local farmers' understanding and acceptance of the company's brand; for the infiltrated areas, through the group subsidiaries or local agents, directly to the terminal market, and actively participate in the promotion activities, regularly send people to teach, educate and assist farmers in various districts to improve soil yield and quality, and set up experimental manor in each district to provide fertilizer for farmers to test and compare, and strengthen farmers' loyalty to the company's brand products. In addition, the company also provides market and technical support services, and is committed to providing growers with the highest quality products and after-sales service, providing comprehensive solutions and technical consultation, in order to achieve product awareness and brand recognition.

The Company's Market Development Process

==> picture [335 x 29] intentionally omitted <==

E. Cost advantage

Since the traders import raw materials from abroad to Malaysia for sale, the raw material prices will be higher. In order to reduce the procurement cost of raw materials, the company actively seeks cooperation with raw material producers that can directly trade to reduce indirect purchases through traders. We had business relationship with the major potassium chloride producers in Belarus and are directly trading with Chinese urea producers for another major raw material urea. The company directly and raw materials Producer transactions, to reduce the cost of raw materials, and make the company's product prices more competitive.

  • (5) Advantages, Disadvantages and Countermeasures of Developing Prospects

  • A. Favorable factors

    • (A) Increased demand for plant fertilizers in the global foraging crisis

80

Global food demand is increasing due to population growth and economic development, but arable land for crops is difficult to increase due to the rise of environmental awareness, , but some areas will also be affected by desertification, resulting in a reduction in cultivated area.

Therefore, under the trend of increasing demand for crops and reducing the area of arable land, the method of increasing crop yield is to adopt measures to strengthen crop resistance and increase crop yield. For example, increase the amount of biochemical compound fertilizer and prevent insects through root protection. Or the damage of crops such as germs, on the other hand, the bio-based compound fertilizer provides plant root nutrients, so that crops can obtain various nutrients and increase the output per unit area. The aforementioned measures to increase crop yields will also drive the development of the overall crop biochemical compound fertilizer industry and expand the overall market size, which will be positive for the sales growth of All Cosmos's future business.

(B) Technical advantage

Various functional microorganisms can be mixed with each other, but when using mixed strains, it is necessary to consider the competition or the synergy between the strains to exert their positive effects. The company uses organic matter as a carrier of microorganisms, so that after the fermentation of the same organic matter is completed, the survival rate and effectiveness are improved through the compatibility test of the microorganism carrier.

In the fertilizer process, in addition to factors such as production cost of bacteria, mixed strains, and carrier stability, it is also necessary to add anti-antagonism test and survival test after adding stable carrier to ensure the affinity and timeliness of microbial flora and survivability. The company has developed and applied for a bio-stabilized fertilizer technology (A Bio-stabilized Fertilizer and a Method for Producing) patent, to effectively combine microorganisms with chemical fertilizers, organic matter, and block microorganisms and chemicals’ direct contact of fertilizers to avoid damages to microorganisms to ensure the effectiveness of microorganisms, thereby taking advantage of the technology to expand the company's development in the biochemical fertilizer industry.

  • (C) Maintaining good relations with Malaysian government agencies and academic

institutions

81

Over the years, the company has carried out many cooperation and exchanges with professional institutions such as the Malaysian Oil Palm Bureau, the Academy of Agricultural Sciences and the National University of Technology, and has maintained good cooperative relations for a long time. In addition, the company was appointed by the Ministry of Science, Technology and Innovation (MOSTI) of the Federal Government of Malaysia in 2011 as a consultant for high-tech green agriculture. The Prime Minister of Malaysia personally leads the research and development, innovation and environmental protection as its main purpose and implementation strategy. Its members are only 10 companies. The company is the only private company. As the fertilizer industry is an industry that attaches great importance to product safety, technical support and goodwill, the fertilizer products developed in cooperation with academic institutions or certified by government agencies are more trusted and favored by farmers, so they cooperate well with government agencies and academic institutions. Relationships have positive benefits for the company.

B. Unfavorable factors

  • (A) The main raw materials depend on imports and are vulnerable to shortage of international raw materials or price increases.

The company's main chemical raw materials such as urea, phosphate fertilizer and potash fertilizer rely on imports. If there is a shortage of international raw materials or price increases, the company may be adversely affected. Response measures:

The company keeps abreast of market information. In order to fully grasp the source of supply, there are more than two suppliers of main raw materials, and maintain a good and stable cooperative relationship. A reasonable safety stock is prepared for the raw materials, and the sales price of the downstream is moderately adjusted when the price fluctuates. Follow the market to reduce the impact.

(B) Risk of sales concentration

Oil palm is the main cash crop in Malaysia. Therefore, the government attaches great importance to the development of oil palm industry. It has a number of related institutions and investment companies. Oil palm enterprises need to have the processing capacity of palm oil processing, transportation and storage and sales. Therefore, Malaysian oil palm industry is mainly based on public and large-scale

82

enterprises, which is the case where the company has sales of goods concentrated in large enterprises.

Response strategy:

In addition to its commitment to maintain relationships with her customers, the company regularly assigns technical personnel or sales personnel to the customer’s field to observe the use of fertilizers, and to produce research reports on its processes and achievements, to stabilize existing customers and actively expand new customers. The use of the company’s products by well-known large enterprises, establishes a brand image, and drives more farmers to buy and use, in order to reduce the risk of sales concentration.

5.2.2 Important use of the main products and production process

(1) Important uses of major products

Fertilizers can be roughly classified into chemical fertilizers, organic fertilizers and biological fertilizers according to the raw material categories. Various fertilizers have their own advantages and disadvantages. Chemical fertilizers have fast effects, but they are easy to cause environmental pollution and destroy soil structure. Organic fertilizers can change soil properties and increase nutrient, but large in volume and high in application cost; biological fertilizer is applied in small amount and low in cost, but it must be used in combination with other fertilizers. Here are the advantages and disadvantages listed below:

Because fertilizer is a popular material, it is a relatively traditional industry, hence, it is very competitive especially with many large-scale chemical fertilizer plants in the market. Therefore, the company's main products are biochemical compound fertilizers that combine organic matter, beneficial micro-organisms and chemical raw materials. Its products mainly combine the advantages of each unit of fertilizer, improve the efficiency and effect of crop nutrient absorption, promote the growth of crop roots, enhance soil nutrients and improve water retention capacity, and clearly distinguish it from the chemical fertilizers that account for the majority of the market.

(2) Production process of major products

The company's 3-in-1 biochemical compound fertilizer is mainly composed of chemical fertilizer, organic fertilizer and microbial fertilizer. According to the theory of nitrogen balance and soil health, it is compounded by techniques such as bio-high nitrogen source fermentation technology and comprehensive extrusion granulation. It can be mainly divided into beneficial microbial culture process and three-in-one biochemical fertilizer production process:

Gross Profit Margin 22.25% 22.65%
Gross Rate Of Change 22.8% 1.80%
----- End of picture text -----

The company’s 2020 gross profit margin changes below 2%, mainly due to the fact that oil palm plantation customers have been affected by the weak international oil palm prices from the fourth quarter of 2018, which led to lower revenue or operational difficulties, which in turn reduced the willingness to apply fertilizers and delayed orders. In addition, the budget for fertilizer use in 2019 has been reduced by 30-50% compared with previous years. In the case of tight cash flow, most plantations switch to cheap and low-priced unit fertilizers or mixed fertilizers in terms of fertilizer selection. Since unit fertilizers or mixed fertilizers are all competing unit price markets, the company will choose not to take orders if there is no profit, which will affect the company's revenue and gross profit. The fluctuation of international oil palm prices in 2019 has delayed the bid opening schedule in the first half of 2020, and shipments in January and February have significantly decreased. Coupled with the fact that the Malaysian government implemented the "Movement Control Order" in mid-March in response to Covid-19,

85

operations in the first quarter of 2020 have fallen to the bottom. The Company is in necessities industry in Malaysia, therefore, even with the movement control order, work still quickly resumed after a short shipment shock, and operations gradually stabilized since the second quarter. In the unstable environment, the plantation’s 2020 fertilizer budget did not increase significantly with the crude palm oil price. Farmers’ willingness to apply biochemical compound fertilizers is still conservative compared to the past, and the fertilizer budget is still mainly in chemical fertilizer.

Please indicate the reasons for the changes in the financial ratios in the last two years. (If the increase or decrease is less than 20%, it can be exempted from analysis)

  1. Increase of liabilities to assets ratio: The main subsidiary, ACI, was affected by the epidemic in the first half of the year. Sales in the first half of the year were slow, the market did not recover until the third quarter when the epidemic has been controlled. Procurement from suppliers increases when demand increases, and the increase in procurement loans has increased the total debt at the end of the period.

  2. Decrease in current ratio and quick ratio: In the first half of the year, sales of subsidiary ACI were affected by the epidemic. After the third quarter, the epidemic was more controlled and the price of crude palm oil recovered gradually to warm up the market. As demand increased, so did purchases from suppliers. The increase in short-term loans purchased from foreign supplier JSC by LC has led to a decline in the current ratio. Although the current ratio has fallen, it is still >200%. The company has no difficulties in repaying debts and the overall capital allocation is also healthy.

  3. Increase in interest coverage ratio: The company’s interest coverage ratio continues to rise, and long-term borrowings have been amortized one after another, and interest expenses have also decreased. The profitability is sufficient to guarantee the repayment of due debts, and the company’s long-term debt solvency has no other concerns.

  4. Decrease in inventory turnover rate (times): Affected by the fall in crude palm oil prices in 2019, many plantations cut orders or postponed shipments due to internal capital turnover and internal rectification factors, resulting in higher inventory at the end of 2019 and lowering the inventory turnover rate in 2020. Affected by the epidemic in 2020, normal production capacity gradually resumed after the third quarter, but the supply still cannot be completed in a short time, coupled with the rising freight rate of container bulk transportation and the transportation time has also been lengthened. In order to respond to customer demand orders for the economic recovery in 2021, the company also maintains the inventory at the end of the period, resulting in a decline in the overall inventory turnover rate, which is still at the industry average level, so there is no hidden worry.

97

  1. Increase in average selling days: Affected by the fall in crude palm oil prices in 2019, many plantations cut orders or postponed shipments due to internal capital turnover and internal rectification factors, resulting in higher inventory at the end of 2019 and lowering the inventory turnover rate in 2020. Affected by the epidemic in 2020, normal production capacity gradually resumed after the third quarter, but the supply still cannot be completed in a short time, coupled with the rising freight rate and the transportation time has also been lengthened. In order to respond to customer demand orders for the economic recovery in 2021, the company also maintains the inventory at the end of the period, resulting in a decline in the overall inventory turnover rate, which is still at the industry average level, so there is no hidden worry. In addition, the company also regularly assesses the risk of inventory falling price, and makes an inventory allowance for the loss of falling price to reflect the actual inventory value.

  2. Increase in return on assets: The rebounding crude palm oil price has resulted in revenue increase this year, most of the long-term borrowings that are closely related to interest expenses were repaid and there was no increase in borrowings, resulting in a significant increase in the return on assets compared with the previous year. Affected by the epidemic in 2020, the world is moving towards a zero-interest rate era. Compared with the excessively low return on assets in 2019, it is a stable performance that the return on assets in 2020 is higher than the market interest rate, and there are no other concerns that need to be vigilant. .

  3. Increase in return on equity: The company focuses on the research and development of the industry, and strives to open up overseas markets and develop new products. Despite the impact of the epidemic in 2020, crude palm oil prices have stabilized, and after-tax profits and losses of some foreign orders have significantly increased. The return on equity has also increased by nearly 144% compared with 2019, reflecting the company’s influence in the industry.

  4. Increase in operating profit: Despite the impact of the epidemic this year, the operating conditions in the first half of the year were poor, but the slowdown of the epidemic and the rebound in crude palm oil prices have increased overall profitability.

  5. Increase in profit margin: Despite the impact of the epidemic this year, the operating conditions in the first half of the year were poor, but the slowdown of the epidemic and the rebound in crude palm oil prices have increased overall profitability.

  6. Increase in EPS: The change in earnings per share was mainly due to the return of orders from major customers as a result of the stabilization of crude palm oil prices, and the stabilization of foreign subsidiaries' operations. In addition, affected by the political situation in Malaysia in 2019 which led to payment defaults from customers, more expected credit losses have resulted in a decline in the overall profitability of the group. The company has been actively negotiating to recover for payment receivable and thereby increased the company’s net profit.

  7. Decrease in cash flow ratio, cash flow fair ratio and cash reinvestment ratio: The direct cause of the decrease in cash flow from operating activities is that the sales of this year are concentrated after the third quarter, and the company generally grants a credit period of about 3 months, which increases the receivables on the closing accounts compared with the previous period and reduces the cash flow. In addition, in order to meet customer demand for orders, the purchase volume at the end of the period has also increased. Bank borrowings arising from the purchase of raw materials also increased the debt ratio, and the overall cash flow fell. According to past experience, the company does not have any non-payment and with a good internal control system, it will actively collect overdue debts. In addition, the company's current asset ratio is high, so the company has no cash flow shortage or difficulty in repayment.

Note 1. Calculation formula for analysis items:

  1. Financial structure

  2. (1) Liabilities to assets ratio = total liabilities / total assets.

  3. (2) Long-term capital to property, plant & equipment ratio = (total equity + non-current liabilities) / net

  4. property, plant and equipment.

  5. Debt paying ability

  6. (1) Current ratio = current assets / current liabilities.

  7. (2) Quick ratio = (current assets - inventory – prepaid expenses) / current liabilities.

  8. (3) Interest coverage ratio = net income before tax and interest expense / interest expense for the current

  9. period.

  10. Operation capability

  11. (1) Receivables (including accounts receivable and bills receivable arising from business operation) turnover

  12. rate = net sales / average receivables for each period (including balance of accounts receivable and bills receivable arising from business operation).

  13. (2) Average number of days cash receipt = 365 / receivables turnover rate.

  14. (3) Inventory turnover rate = cost of goods sold / average inventory amount.

  • (4) Payables (including accounts payable and bills payable arising from business operation) turnover rate =

  • cost of goods sold / average payables for each period (including accounts payable and notes payable arising from business operation).

  • (5) Average number of days of goods sale= 365 / inventory turnover rate.

  • (6) Fixed assets turnover rate = net sales of goods / net fixed assets.

  • (7) Total asset turnover rate = net sales of goods / total assets.

  • Profitability

  • (1) Assets return rate = [Profit and loss after tax + interest expense × (1 - tax rate)] / average total assets.

  • (2) Shareholders’ equity return rate = Profit and loss after tax attributable to owners of the parent company / average attributable to owners of the parent company.

  • (3) Net income rate = profit and loss after tax/ net sales of goods.

  • (4) Earning per share = (profits and losses attributable to owners of the parent company - special dividends) / weighted average number of issued shares. (Note 3)

  • Cash flow

  • (1) Cash flow ratio = net cash flow from operating activities / current liabilities.

  • (2) Net cash flow fair ratio = net cash flow from operating activities over the current five years / increase in (capital expenditure + inventory + cash dividend) for the current five years.

  • (3) Cash re-investment ratio = (net cash flow from operating activities - cash dividends) / (gross fixed assets + long-term investment + other non-current assets + working capital). (Note 4)

  • Leverage:

  • (1) Operation leverage = (net operating income - variable operating costs and expenses) / operating profit (Note 5).

  • (2) Financial leverage = operating profit / (operating profit - interest expense).

  • Note 2: The calculation formula of the earnings per share of the preceeding paragraph should pay special attention to the following matters when measuring:

    1. Based on the weighted average number of common shares, not based on the number of shares issued at the end of the year.
  • Anyone who has a cash increase or a treasury stock trader should consider the circulation period and calculate the weighted average number of shares.

  • Anyone who has transferred surplus or capital increase will be retrospectively adjusted according to the proportion of capital increase when calculating the earnings per share of the previous year and the semi-annual, and no consideration on period of issuance is needed for the capital increase.

  • If the special stock is a non-convertible accumulative of special stock, its annual dividend (whether or not it is paid) shall be the net profit reduction after tax or increase the net loss after tax. If the special stock is non-cumulative, in the event of net profit after tax, the special stock dividend shall be deducted from the net profit after tax; if it is a loss, it shall not be adjusted.

  • Note 3: The cash flow analysis should pay special attention to the following items when measuring:

     - 1.Net cash flow from operating activities refers to the cash inflow as per operating activities
    
  • statement.

     2. Capital expenditure refers to the number of cash outflows per year of capital investment.
    
     3. The increase in inventory is only included when the ending balance is greater than the opening balance. If the inventory is reduced at the end of the year, it is calculated as zero.
    
     4. Cash dividends include common shares and special shares cash dividends.
    
     5. Gross property, plant and facility are the total amount of real estate, plant and facility before deducting accumulated depreciation.
    
  • Note 4: The Issuer should classify various operating costs and operating expenses into fixed and variable properties. If there is an estimate or subjective judgment, attention should be paid to its rationality and consistency.

  • Note 5: If the company's stock is not denominated or the denomination is not NT$10, the calculation of the proportion of the paid-up capital in the former opening is calculated by the equity ratio of the balance sheet attributable to the owner of the parent company.

----- End of picture text -----

The main reasons for the increase and decrease of the two phases are more than 20%, and the change amount is at least NT$10,000,000.

  1. Current liabilities: Mainly due to the increase in bank borrowing for purchases of materials and other payables such as increase in royalties payable and freight expenses. The increase in above liabilities is related to operating expenses. Short-term bank borrowings for purchasing materials are also normal corporate borrowings and will not cause any significant impact.

  2. Other equity: It is the result of exchange rate difference as the main operating point of the consolidated company is in Malaysia and the ringgit is the main functional currency, but the currency of the financial report is the new Taiwan dollar. Due to the large fluctuations in the foreign exchange market in 2020, there will be obvious differences and changes.

----- End of picture text -----

The main reasons for the increase or decrease of the two phases are more than 20%, and the change amount is at least NT$10,000,000.

  1. Operating profit: The increase in operating profit was mainly due to the decrease in expected credit impairment losses. Also, benefited from the positive factors of the strong crude palm oil price, the revenue and profit performance of plantation customers in 2020 both increased, with the help of customers’ sufficient cash flow, expected credit loss decreased by 54,790 thousand NT dollars compared with the same period last year.

  2. Non-operating income and expenses: mainly increased from other benefits, such as the increase in foreign currency exchange benefits and the increase in financial asset benefits.

  3. Income tax expenses: the subsidiary of the company, ACI, obtained a 10-year tax exemption from the Ministry of Finance of Malaysia from March 2008 to March 2018. The preferential income tax rate of 20% is applicable to the company in the next 10 years after the expiration of the credit. However, since not having obtained the approval from the Ministry of Finance of Malaysia, the subsidiary is required to declare income tax at the original tax rate of 24%, hence increased in tax expenses.

  4. (2) Expected sales volume and its basis, possible impact on the company's future business financial and countermeasure plan

As the fertilizer market in Malaysia is still dominated by chemical fertilizers, the company realized its excessive product concentration and actively developing microbial compound fertilizer products on other crops to reduce the operational risks caused product concentration. In addition, the strategic cooperation with the Grape King will enable us to expand into the biotechnology business of health products from agricultural biotechnology and expand the ASEAN market together. In addition, the expansion of the company's Indonesian plant is still actively underway, with a view to expanding the market and reducing the operational impact of excessive single market concentration.

Changes analysis:

1. Cash flow from operating activities:

The cash flow ratio in 2020 decreased by 114.36% or 1,010,436 thousand from the previous period, mainly due to the following factors:

i. The net change of accounts receivable is -228,105 thousand, a decrease of 680,110 thousand or 150.47% from the previous period.

ii. The net change in inventory is 10,140 thousand, a decrease of 301,163 thousand or 96.74% over the previous period.

iii. The net change in prepayments is -86,913 thousand, a decrease of 106,509 thousand or 543.52% from the previous period.

The company's accounts receivable in 2020 were higher than in 2019, mainly due to shipments affected by Covid-19 in the first half of 2020. The company began to resume normal shipments in June. In addition to increasing customer demand, sales were concentrated in the second half of the year and were approximately NT$200 million more than the same period last year, so the receivables were also higher than last year.

The company’s inventory was affected by the setback of crude palm oil prices in 2019. Many plantations cut orders or delayed shipments due to internal capital turnover and internal rectification factors, which led to an increase in inventory at the end of 2019. Affected by Covid-19 in 2020, normal production capacity gradually resumed after the third quarter, but it was still unable to complete the supply in a short time. In addition, the epidemic caused the freight rate to rise and the transportation time to lengthen. In order to respond to customer demand orders for the economic recovery in 2021, the company maintains the inventory at the end of the period, so that the net change in the overall inventory turnover is reduced compared with the previous period.

The net change in prepayments in 2020 decreased by 106,509 thousand compared with the previous period. This was because the increase in the purchase due to the increase in order demand, and according to the payment terms agreed by the supplier.

  1. Cash flow from investment activities: it is mainly the cash inflow of financial assets measured at amortized cost in 2020.

  2. Cash flow from financing activities: mainly due to the increase of short-term borrowing for material purchasing.

  • 7.6.1 The impact of interest rate, exchange rate changes and inflation on the company's profit and loss and future countermeasures

(1) Interest rate changes

The Company's interest expenses for 2019 and 2020 were 9,448 thousands and 4,440 thousands respectively, accounting for 0.53% and 0.27% of the net operating income. The interest expense of the Company is mainly due to bank loans, and the ratio of operating income is not significant, so the interest rate changes have little impact on the Company. However, if there is a large fluctuation in the interest rate trend and the Company continues to have the demand for loans, the company will observe the interest rate trend and choose the fixed interest rate in addition to the other capital market financing tools. Loans by means of floating interest rates to reduce the risk of interest rate fluctuations.

(2) Exchange rate changes

Since the company's main sales locations are mainly in Southeast Asia such as Malaysia, basically most of the sales are denominated in Malaysian currency, while the purchases are mainly denominated in US dollars. Therefore, most of the exchange differences are pre-purchased in foreign currency, but there may still be insufficient of pre-purchased foreign exchange will may cause the appreciation of the RM position to the US dollar incurred risk of the foreign currency exchange loss to the Company.

The Company's foreign currency exchange gains in 2019 and 2020 were 9,533 thousands and 19,084 thousands respectively, accounting for 0.54% and 1.16% of net operating income, and there was no significant exchange rate fluctuation loss. The company has taken below countermeasures:

A. Continue to strengthen the concept of financial personnel's hedging, evaluate the pre-purchased foreign currency according to the company's purchase of raw material order amount and the exchange rate set by the sales order, and through the online exchange rate real-time system and strengthen the relationship with financial institutions and monitor international political status, etc. In order to judge the trend of exchange rate changes, it is used as a basis for pre-purchasing foreign currency.

B. Increasing the proportion of export sales against the expenses of the sales under the same currency of the cost of purchase and related expenses, in order to achieve natural hedging effect.

(3) Inflation

The global economic recession in 2020 is even worse than the 2009 financial crisis. It is mainly affected by the epidemic. The severe lockdown measures

107

adopted by various countries have greatly weakened economic activities. In addition, the loose policies have limited economic revitalization and the global economic growth factors are uncertain, the market prices of the company's main raw materials such as chlorine, phosphorus and potassium have also fluctuated; however, the company has become a strategic partner with suppliers in recent years. During the period of inflation, suppliers are supplying raw material at the lower cost than the market price. In addition, the expansion of production capacity to achieve economical scale, continuous improvement of process capability to reduce production costs, and simultaneously to develop of high value-added products, etc., have achieved concrete results in improving gross profit and reducing inflation, while the dropping of raw material cost, the result is remarkable.

Assist agricultural processing plants to convert wastes that originally required expensive processing fees into multi-functional and economically valuable agricultural products such as disease-resistant organic fertilizers, and use this biological control agent more widely in oil palm plantations. It effectively prevents the growth of oil palm ganoderma disease.

  • 7.6.9 Risks and countermeasures in the concentration of purchase or sales

(1) Purchase

The purchase amount of the top ten Supplier Company in 2019 and 2020 accounted for 77.03% and 68.26% of the total annual net purchases, respectively, with a slight increase or decrease in the proportion. The procurement projects are mainly potassium chloride, urea and phosphate rock powder, of which potassium chloride is the main raw material exceeding 40% of the net purchase. Because JSC BELARUSIAN POTASH COMPANY (hereinafter referred to as BPC) is the main

110

direct manufacturer of potassium chloride, the company has a higher ratio of potassium chloride purchase from BPC. The Company's good business relationship with BPC and its products are substitutable. Therefore, the situation of concentrated purchases should not have a material adverse impact on the financial business of the Company.

The above-mentioned company's purchase concentration is caused by the industrial characteristics. In addition, the company continues to search for suitable urea, potassium chloride and phosphate rock suppliers around the world based on the diversification of sources to minimise the risk of concentrated purchases. Therefore, the company should not have encounter risk of major concentrated purchases.

(2) Sales

The sales of the top ten customers of the Company in 2019 and 2020 accounted for 55.37% and 52.41% of the annual operating income, mainly due to the fact that Malaysia is one of the key global oil palm production countries. The oil palm industry is owned by Malaysia government and large enterprises, which owned more than 80% of the total plantation space in Malaysia. Only approximately 10% of the oil palm plantation is owned by the small owner. As a result, the sales ratio of the top ten customers of the company is relatively high. However, the Company continues to strive to develop new customers in each region, and the sales ratio of each period to a single customer has not exceeded 20%. The company's operation has also shown stable profit for many years, so the risk of sales concentration should not be significant.

  • 7.6.10 Directors, supervisors or major shareholders holding more than 10% of the shares, the impact of a large number of shares transferred or replaced on the company, risks and countermeasures

The Company's recent year and till the annual report published date, there is no operational risk to the company due to the substantial transfer or replacement of the directors or major shareholder equity.

  • 7.6.11 The impact of changes in management rights on the company, risks and countermeasures

the main litigant and the annual report shall be disclosed.

  • (1) The company's recent two-year and up-to-date annual report stated cases of the litigation, non-litigation or administrative litigation that has been determined or currently in the system, and the results may have a significant impact on shareholders' equity or securities prices. The fact of the dispute, the amount of the subject matter, the commencement date of the lawsuit, the parties involved in the proceedings and the current situation should be disclosed:

  • The company itself has not litigated or a non-litigation situation in the last two years and up to the date of publication of the annual report.

  • (2) The company's directors, supervisors, general managers, substantive principals, major shareholders and subordinate companies with a shareholding ratio of more than 10% have been determined or currently in the company's last two years and up to the date of publication. In the event of litigation, non-litigation or administrative litigation, the outcome may have a significant impact on the company's shareholders' equity or securities price:

Peng Sheng Ching, a director of the company, was accused of committing a forgery in the Republic of China in 1992. However, the case has been filed by the Taiwan Taipei District Prosecutor’s Office No. 16236 for the non-prosecution of the case. Although Mr. Lin Qichun has raised an appeal later, but was dismissed by the Taiwan High Court Procuratorate's 104th Annual Speech No. 8590. Despite Lin Qichun’s 2nd appeals was being dismissed by the Taipei District Court’s 104 No.265. The plaintiff also filed a civil lawsuit against the director Peng Sheng Ching in the same incident. The case was judged by the Taiwan Taipei District Court's 101 No. 945 and the plaintiff was found to have lost the first instance appeal. The plaintiff then filed a second-instance appeal. The judgment (Case No.: No. 323, No. 323) was dismissed, and Lin Qichun was defeated. The plaintiff again submitted the third trial, which was already numbered by the Supreme Court in the 106th year of Taiwan Anti-Japanese No. 1028, No. 1029, No. 1030 and Taihang. No. 2319 ruled that the plaintiff’s protest was dismissed. However, in the case of the plaintiff Lin Qichun’s additional lawsuit in the second instance, (the case number: Taiwan High Court No. 103 No. 323), the High Court also ruled that the plaintiff’s additional lawsuit was dismissed by the judgment of March 27, 2007. On October 1, 108, the Supreme Court Civil Ruling 108 Annual Anti-Taiwan No. 679 ruled that the protest was dismissed and no further appeals were allowed, and the case was closed. The result has no significant impact on the company’s shareholders’ equity or securities prices.

  • (3) The company's directors, supervisors, managers and major shareholders with a shareholding ratio of more than 10% have stipulated in Article 157 of the Securities Exchange Law in the last two years and up to the date of publication of the annual report and the company's current handling Situation: None.

112

7.6.13 Other important risks and countermeasures:

  • (1) Risk of research and development of new products

The company continues to improve its research and development capabilities to maintain its market competitiveness. However, biotechnology and technology are rapidly developing, and new products still need to be certified by government agencies and field experiments. Therefore, can the company timely research results? There is still a risk of uncertainty in commercial production and acceptance in the market.

  • (2) Main chemical fertilizer raw materials depend on import risks

Because Malaysia produces only a small amount of nitrogen, phosphorus and potassium, which are the main raw materials for chemical fertilizers, the raw materials are subject to imports. The import prices fluctuate due to the global economy. However, most of the orders of the company are obtained through competitive bidding. Therefore, before bidding, the company will refer to the quotation of the raw materials provided by the supplier to determine the bid price, in order to minimize the impact of the change of raw material price on the profit margin, also to control the import of raw material cost fluctuation risk effectively.

(3) Risk of horizontal competition

Due to the high technical threshold for the production of biochemical compound fertilizer, the microbial extraction, culture, quantification and compounding technology required for biochemical compounding are not easy to obtain. The company aimed to be ahead of the same industry competitors, thus, continuously invests in research and development of microbial related technologies, simultaneously apply for related patent rights to prevent peers from entering biochemistry compound fertilizer market. On the other hand, the company continues to develop new products to maintain competitive advantage and market share.

  • (4) Ten-year tax exemption does not meet the risk of recourse and maturity Subsidiary ACI obtained the ten-year tax exemption for Malaysian Biotechnology Corporation Sdn. Bhd. (hereinafter referred to as BNX) in March 2008. However, due to insufficient number of knowledge workers in 2008, it was inconsistent with the regulations of the competent authorities. Nevertheless, after the company applied to BNX in 2009 and obtained the consent to adjust the conditions of the knowledge workers, the company has been reviewed by the competent authorities every year so far, except for the case of non-conformity in 2008.

After consulting the lawyers and taking the relevant authorities' correspondence, BNX has issued an evaluation letter to the company in 2009 to inform that

113

despite the company is not eligible due to case of non-conformity in 2008, however, considering the business model of the company, it agreed to reduce the proportion, and the company has been awarded with 10 years tax exemption. Since 2009 to 2013, the company has passed the BNX tax exemption qualification evaluation. In addition, due to the company's good compliance record, BNX advised that the company only required to report online in 2014 and 2015. The tax exemption is expected to expire in March 2018, and the preferential income tax rate of 20% will be applied to the company's business-related net profits in the next 10 years after the expiration of the original credit period. However, since it has not been approved by the Ministry of Finance of Malaysia, the subsidiary ACI needs to declare income tax at the original tax rate, and the company applies a tax rate of 24%.

In summary, despite the company was disqualified from the 10-year tax exemption previously. The risk of recourse to unqualified taxes is still low and should not have a material adverse effect on the Company.

The Board of Directors and Shareholders All Cosmos Bio-Tech Holding Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of All Cosmos Bio-Tech which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019 and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Basis for Opinion

We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.

Key Audit Matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

126

The key audit matters identified December 31, 2020 are stated as follows:

Occurrence of Sales Revenue from Major Customers

transactions that are significant. Sales revenue and accounts receivable turnover (days) from some of these major customers increased significantly compared to the previous year. Considering the higher inherent risk in revenue recognition and the potential pressure on management to achieve financial goals, we identified the occurrence of sales revenue from major customers with the abovementioned characteristics as a key audit matter.

Refer to Notes 4 (m) and 22 to the consolidated financial statements for details on the accounting policy and relevant disclosures on revenue recognition.

The main audit procedures that we performed in respect of sales revenue from major customers with the abovementioned characteristics included the following:

  1. sales cycle, and we designed the corresponding audit procedures to test the effectiveness of the internal control associated with the risk mentioned above.

  2. We performed substantive tests on sales revenue, selected samples from general ledger of sales revenue and vouched the records to external supporting documents to verify the occurrence of sales.

  3. We performed analytical procedures, compared the differences in sales revenue, credit terms, and accounts receivable turnover (days) between the current and previous years, and assessed the reasonableness of such changes.

  4. We examined significant sales returns or allowances after the balance sheet date and performed substantive procedures to confirm the occurrence of the sales revenue.

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

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

In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the

127

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.

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

  1. Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.

  2. Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an

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

  4. Conclude on the appropriateness of m accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.

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

  6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.

We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.

128

We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonably be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.

4. SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

  • a. Statement of compliance

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers of Republic of China, and IFRSs as endorsed and issued into effect by the FSC.

  • b. Basis of preparation

The consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the historical cost basis except for financial instruments which are measured at fair value.

The fair value measurements, which are grouped into Levels 1 to 3 based on the degree to which the fair value measurement inputs are observable and based on the significance of the inputs to the fair value measurement in its entirety, are described as follows:

  • 1) Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

  • 2) Level 2 inputs are inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for an asset or liability, either directly (i.e., as prices) or indirectly (i.e., derived from prices); and

  • 3) Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs for an asset or liability.

  • c. Classification of current and non-current assets and liabilities

Current assets include:

  • 1) Assets held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • 2) Assets expected to be realized within 12 months after the reporting period; and

  • 3) Cash and cash equivalents unless the asset is restricted from being exchanged or used to settle a liability for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

Current liabilities include:

  • 1) Liabilities held primarily for the purpose of trading;

  • 2) Liabilities due to be settled within 12 months after the reporting period; and

  • 3) Liabilities for which the Group does not have an unconditional right to defer settlement for at least 12 months after the reporting period.

138

Assets and liabilities that are not classified as current are classified as non-current.

d. Basis of consolidation

The consolidated financial statements incorporate the financial statements of the Company and the entities controlled by the Company (i.e., its subsidiaries).

Income and expenses of subsidiaries acquired or disposed of during the period are included in the consolidated statement of comprehensive income from the effective dates of acquisitions up to the effective dates of disposals, as appropriate.

When necessary, adjustments are made to the financial statements of subsidiaries to bring their accounting policies into line with those of the Group.

All intra-group transactions, balances, income and expenses are eliminated in full upon consolidation. Total comprehensive income of subsidiaries is attributed to the owners of the Company and to the non-controlling interests even if this results in the non-controlling interests having a deficit balance.

Refer to Note 11 and Table 6 for detailed information on subsidiaries (including percentages of ownership and main businesses).

  • e. Foreign currencies

In preparing the financial statements of each individual entity, transactions in currencies other than the at the dates of the transactions.

At the end of each reporting period, monetary items denominated in foreign currencies are retranslated at the rates prevailing at that date. Exchange differences on monetary items arising from settlement or translation are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they arise.

Non-monetary item denominated in a foreign currency and measured at historical cost is stated at the reporting currency as originally translated from the foreign currency.

For the purpose of presenting consolidated financial statements, the functional currencies of the Company and its foreign operations (including subsidiaries in other countries that use currencies which are different from the currency of the Company) are translated into the presentation currency, the New Taiwan dollar, as follows: Assets and liabilities are translated at the exchange rates prevailing at the end of the reporting period; and income and expense items are translated at the average exchange rates for the period. The resulting currency translation differences are recognized in other comprehensive income attributed to the owners of the Company and non-controlling interests as appropriate.

  • f. Inventories

Inventories consist of raw materials, merchandise, finished goods and work in progress and are stated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. Inventory write-downs are made by item, except where it may be appropriate to group similar or related items. The net realizable value is the estimated selling price of inventories less all estimated costs of completion and costs necessary to make the sale. Inventories are recorded at the standard cost and adjusted thereafter to weighted-average cost on the balance sheet date.

g. Investments in associates

An associate is an entity over which the Group has significant influence and which is neither a subsidiary nor an interest in a joint venture. The Group uses the equity method to account for its investments in associates.

139

Under the equity method, investments in an associate are initially recognized at cost and adjusted thereafter to recognize the Gr associate.

includes any carrying amount of the investment accounted for using the equity method and long-term discontinues recognizing its share of further losses. Additional losses and liabilities are recognized only to the extent that the Group has incurred legal obligations, or constructive obligations, or made payments on behalf of that associate.

The entire carrying amount of an investment (including goodwill) is tested for impairment as a single asset by comparing its recoverable amount with its carrying amount. Any impairment loss recognized is not allocated to any asset, including goodwill that forms part of the carrying amount of the investment. Any reversal of that impairment loss is recognized to the extent that the recoverable amount of the investment subsequently increases.

When the Group transacts with its associate, profits and losses resulting from the transactions with the terests in the associate that are not related to the Group.

h. Property, plant and equipment

Property, plant and equipment are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and accumulated impairment loss.

Property, plant and equipment in the course of construction are measured at cost less any recognized impairment loss. Cost includes professional fees and borrowing costs eligible for capitalization. Such assets are depreciated and classified to the appropriate categories of property, plant and equipment when completed and ready for intended use.

The depreciation of property, plant and equipment is recognized using the straight-line method. Each significant part is depreciated separately. The estimated useful lives, residual values and depreciation methods are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effects of any changes in the estimates accounted for on a prospective basis.

On derecognition of an item of property, plant and equipment, the difference between the sales proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

i. Goodwill

Goodwill arising from the acquisition of a business is measured at cost as established at the date of acquisition of the business less accumulated impairment loss.

For -generating - units or groups of cashbenefit from the synergies of the combination.

140

A cash-generating unit to which goodwill has been allocated is tested for impairment annually or more frequently whenever there is an indication that the unit may be impaired, by comparing its carrying amount, including the attributed goodwill, with its recoverable amount. However, if the goodwill allocated to a cash-generating unit was acquired in a business combination during the current annual period, that unit shall be tested for impairment before the end of the current annual period. If the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit is less than its carrying amount, the impairment loss is allocated first to reduce the carrying amount of any goodwill allocated to the unit and then pro rata to the other assets of the unit based on the carrying amount of each asset in the unit. Any impairment loss is recognized directly in profit or loss. Any impairment loss recognized on goodwill is not reversed in subsequent periods.

  • j. Intangible assets

  • 1) Intangible assets acquired separately

Intangible assets with finite useful lives that are acquired separately are initially measured at cost and subsequently measured at cost less accumulated amortization and accumulated impairment loss. Amortization is recognized on a straight-line basis. The estimated useful life, residual value, and amortization method are reviewed at the end of each reporting period, with the effect of any changes in estimate accounted for on a prospective basis. Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives that are acquired separately are measured at cost less accumulated impairment loss.

  • 2) Derecognition of intangible assets

On derecognition of an intangible asset, the difference between the net disposal proceeds and the carrying amount of the asset is recognized in profit or loss.

  • k. Impairment of property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset and intangible assets other than goodwill

At the end of each reporting period, the Group reviews the carrying amounts of its property, plant and equipment, right-of-use asset and intangible assets, excluding goodwill, to determine whether there is any indication that those assets have suffered an impairment loss. If any such indication exists, the recoverable amount of the asset is estimated in order to determine the extent of the impairment loss. When it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of an individual asset, the Group estimates the recoverable amount of the cash-generating unit to which the asset belongs.

Intangible assets with indefinite useful lives and intangible assets not yet available for use are tested for impairment at least annually and whenever there is an indication that the assets may be impaired.

The recoverable amount is the higher of fair value less costs to sell and value in use. If the recoverable amount of an asset or cash-generating unit is estimated to be less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount of the asset or cash-generating unit is reduced to its recoverable amount, with the resulting impairment loss recognized in profit or loss.

When an impairment loss is subsequently reversed, the carrying amount of the corresponding asset, cash-generating unit is increased to the revised estimate of its recoverable amount, but only to the extent of the carrying amount that would have been determined had no impairment loss been recognized on the asset, cash-generating unit in prior years. A reversal of an impairment loss is recognized in profit or loss.

  • l. Financial instruments

Financial assets and financial liabilities are recognized when the Group becomes a party to the contractual provisions of the instruments.

141

Financial assets and financial liabilities are initially measured at fair value. Transaction costs that are directly attributable to the acquisition or issuance of financial assets and financial liabilities (other than financial assets and financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss) are added to or deducted from the fair value of the financial assets or financial liabilities, as appropriate, on initial recognition. Transaction costs directly attributable to the acquisition of financial assets or financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss (FVTPL) are recognized immediately in profit or loss.

1) Financial assets

All regular way purchases or sales of financial assets are recognized and derecognized on a trade date basis.

a) Measurement categories

Financial assets are classified into the following categories: Financial assets at FVTPL and financial assets at amortized cost.

  • i. Financial assets at FVTPL

Financial assets are classified as at FVTPL when such a financial asset is mandatorily classified as at FVTPL. Financial assets mandatorily classified as at FVTPL include investments in equity instruments which are not designated as at FVTOCI and debt instruments that do not meet the amortized cost criteria or the FVTOCI criteria.

Financial assets at FVTPL are subsequently measured at fair value, and any dividends earned on such financial assets are recognized in other income; any remeasurement gains or losses on such financial assets are recognized in other gains or losses. Fair value is

ii. Financial assets at amortized cost

Financial assets that meet the following conditions are subsequently measured at amortized cost:

  • i) The financial asset is held within a business model whose objective is to hold financial assets in order to collect contractual cash flows; and

  • ii) The contractual terms of the financial asset give rise on specified dates to cash flows that are solely payments of principal and interest on the principal amount outstanding.

Subsequent to initial recognition, financial assets at amortized cost, including cash and cash equivalents, trade receivables at amortized cost and refundable deposits, are measured at amortized cost, which equals the gross carrying amount determined using the effective interest method less any impairment loss. Exchange differences are recognized in profit or loss.

Interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the gross carrying amount of such a financial asset, except for:

  • i) Purchased or originated credit impaired financial assets, for which interest income is calculated by applying the credit adjusted effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets; and

142

  • ii) Financial assets that are not credit impaired on purchase or origination but have subsequently become credit impaired, for which interest income is calculated by applying the effective interest rate to the amortized cost of such financial assets in subsequent reporting periods.

Cash equivalents include time deposits with original maturities within 3 months from the date of acquisition, which are highly liquid, readily convertible to a known amount of cash and are subject to an insignificant risk of changes in value. These cash equivalents are held for the purpose of meeting short-term cash commitments.

  • b) Impairment of financial assets

The Group recognizes a loss allowance for expected credit losses (ECLs) on financial assets at amortized cost (including trade receivables).

The Group always recognizes lifetime ECLs for trade receivables. For all other financial instruments, the Group recognizes lifetime ECLs when there has been a significant increase in credit risk since initial recognition. If, on the other hand, the credit risk on a financial instrument has not increased significantly since initial recognition, the Group measures the loss allowance for that financial instrument at an amount equal to 12-month ECLs.

Expected credit losses reflect the weighted average of credit losses with the respective risks of default occurring as the weights. Lifetime ECLs represent the expected credit losses that will result from all possible default events over the expected life of a financial instrument. In contrast, 12-month ECLs represent the portion of lifetime ECLs that is expected to result from default events on a financial instrument that are possible within 12 months after the reporting date.

For internal credit risk management purposes, the Group considers the following situations as indication that a financial asset is in default (without taking into account any collateral held by the Group):

  • i. Internal or external information show that the debtor is unlikely to pay its creditors.

  • ii. Financial asset is more than 270 days past due unless the Group has reasonable and corroborative information to support a more lagged default criterion.

The impairment loss of all financial assets is recognized in profit or loss by a reduction in their carrying amounts through a loss allowance account, except for investments in debt instruments that are measured at FVTOCI, for which the loss allowance is recognized in other comprehensive income and the carrying amounts of such financial assets are not reduced.

  • c) Derecognition of financial assets

The Group derecognizes a financial asset only when the contractual rights to the cash flows from the asset expire or when it transfers the financial asset and substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the asset to another party.

On derecognition of a financial asset at amortized cost in its entirety, the difference between the eceived and receivable is recognized in profit or loss.

143

2) Financial liabilities

a) Subsequent measurement

All financial liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method.

  • b) Derecognition of financial liabilities

The difference between the carrying amount of a financial liability derecognized and the consideration paid, including any non-cash assets transferred or liabilities assumed, is recognized in profit or loss.

  • 3) Derivative financial instruments

The Group enters into a variety of derivative financial instruments to manage its exposure to foreign exchange rate risks, including foreign exchange forward contracts.

Derivatives are initially recognized at fair value at the date on which the derivative contracts are entered into and are subsequently remeasured to their fair value at the end of each reporting period. The resulting gain or loss is recognized in profit or loss immediately unless the derivative is designated and effective as a hedging instrument, in which event, the timing of the recognition in profit or loss depends on the nature of the hedging relationship. When the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is positive, the derivative is recognized as a financial asset; when the fair value of a derivative financial instrument is negative, the derivative is recognized as a financial liability.

m. Revenue recognition

The Group identifies contracts with customers, allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations and recognizes revenue when performance obligations are satisfied.

Revenue from the sale of goods

Revenue from the sale of goods comes from sales of Bio-organic and Bio-chemical fertilizers. Sales of fertilizers are recognized as revenue when the goods are delivered and shipped specific location because it is the time when the customer has full discretion over the manner of distribution and price to sell the goods, has the primary responsibility for sales to future customers and bears the risks of obsolescence. Trade receivables are recognized currently. The transaction price received is recognized as a contract liability until the good have been delivered to the customer.

n. Leases

At the inception of a contract, the Group assesses whether the contract is, or contains, a lease.

  • 1) The Group as lessor

Leases are classified as finance leases whenever the terms of a lease transfer substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership to the lessee. All other leases are classified as operating leases.

Lease payments (less any lease incentives payable) from operating leases are recognized as income on a straight-line basis over the terms of the relevant leases.

144

2) The Group as lessee

The Group recognizes right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases at the commencement date of a lease, except for short-term leases and low-value asset leases accounted for by applying a recognition exemption where lease payments are recognized as expenses on a straight-line basis over the lease terms.

Right-of-use assets are initially measured at cost, which comprises the initial measurement of lease liabilities adjusted for lease payments made at or before the commencement date, plus any initial direct costs incurred and an estimate of costs needed to restore the underlying assets, and less any lease incentives received. Right-of-use assets are subsequently measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses and adjusted for any remeasurement of the lease liabilities. Right-of-use assets are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.

Right-of-use assets are depreciated using the straight-line method from the commencement dates to the earlier of the end of the useful lives of the right-of-use assets or the end of the lease terms.

Lease liabilities are initially measured at the present value of the lease payments, which comprise fixed payments. The lease payments are discounted using the interest rate implicit in a lease, if that rate can be readily determined. If that rate cannot be borrowing rate will be used.

Subsequently, lease liabilities are measured at amortized cost using the effective interest method, with interest expense recognized over the lease terms. Lease liabilities are presented on a separate line in the consolidated balance sheets.

The Group negotiates with the lessor for rent concessions as a direct consequence of the Covid-19 to change the lease payments originally due by June 30, 2021, that results in the revised consideration for the lease substantially less than the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change. There is no substantive change to other terms and conditions. The Group elects to apply the practical expedient to all of these rent concessions and, therefore, does not assess whether the rent concessions are lease modifications. Instead, the Group recognizes the reduction in lease payment in profit or loss, in the period in which the events or conditions that trigger the concession occur, and makes a corresponding adjustment to the lease liability.

o. Borrowing costs

Borrowing costs directly attributable to an acquisition, construction or production of qualifying assets are added to the cost of those assets, until such time as the assets are substantially ready for their intended use or sale.

Investment income earned on the temporary investment of specific borrowings pending their expenditure on qualifying assets is deducted from the borrowing costs eligible for capitalization.

Other than that which is stated above, all other borrowing costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are incurred.

  • p. Government grants

Government grants are not recognized until there is reasonable assurance that the Group will comply with the conditions attached to them and that the grants will be received.

Government grants that are receivable as compensation for expenses or losses already incurred or for the purpose of giving immediate financial support to the Group with no future related costs are recognized in profit or loss in the period in which they are received.

145

q. Employee benefits

  • 1) Short-term employee benefits

Liabilities recognized in respect of short-term employee benefits are measured at the undiscounted amount of the benefits expected to be paid in exchange for the related services.

  • 2) Retirement benefits

Payments to defined contribution retirement benefit plans are recognized as expenses when employees have rendered services entitling them to the contributions.

  • r. Taxation

Income tax expense represents the sum of the tax currently payable and deferred tax.

  • 1) Current tax

Income tax payable (recoverable) is based on taxable profit (loss) for the year determined according to the applicable tax laws of each tax jurisdiction.

provision.

2) Deferred tax

Deferred tax is recognized on temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities and the corresponding tax bases used in the computation of taxable profit.

Deferred tax liabilities are generally recognized for all taxable temporary differences. Deferred tax assets are generally recognized for all deductible temporary differences and unused loss carryforwards to the extent that it is probable that taxable profits will be available against which those deductible temporary differences can be utilized.

Deferred tax liabilities are recognized for taxable temporary differences associated with investments in subsidiaries and associates, except where the Group is able to control the reversal of the temporary difference and it is probable that the temporary difference will not reverse in the foreseeable future. Deferred tax assets arising from deductible temporary differences associated with such investments and interests are recognized only to the extent that it is probable that there will be sufficient taxable profits against which to utilize the benefits of the temporary differences and they are expected to reverse in the foreseeable future.

The carrying amount of deferred tax assets is reviewed at the end of each reporting period and reduced to the extent that it is no longer probable that sufficient taxable profits will be available to allow all or part of the assets to be recovered. A previously unrecognized deferred tax asset is also reviewed at the end of each reporting period and recognized to the extent that it has become probable that future taxable profit will allow the deferred tax asset to be recovered.

Deferred tax liabilities and assets are measured at the tax rates that are expected to apply in the period in which the liabilities are settled or the assets are realized, based on tax rates (and tax laws) that have been enacted or substantively enacted by the end of the reporting period. The measurement of deferred tax liabilities and assets reflects the tax consequences that would follow from the manner in which the Group expects, at the end of the reporting period, to recover or settle the carrying amount of its assets and liabilities.

146

3) Current and deferred taxes

Current and deferred taxes are recognized in profit or loss, except when they relate to items that are recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, in which case, the current and deferred taxes are also recognized in other comprehensive income or directly in equity, respectively.

5. CRITICAL ACCOUNTING JUDGMENTS AND KEY SOURCES OF ESTIMATION UNCERTAINTY

ent is required to make judgments,

estimations, and assumptions about the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The estimates and associated assumptions are based on historical experience and other factors that are considered relevant. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The Group considers the economic implications of the COVID-19 when making its critical accounting estimates. The estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis. Revisions to accounting estimates are recognized in the period in which the estimates are revised if the revisions affect only that period or in the period of the revisions and future periods if the revisions affect both current and future periods

uncertain.

  • a. Trade receivables

The average credit period of sales of goods was 60 to 90 days. No interest was charged on trade receivables. The Group adopted a policy of only dealing with entities that are rated the equivalent of investment grade or higher and obtaining sufficient collateral, where appropriate, as a means of mitigating the risk of financial loss from defaults. The Group uses other publicly available financial information or its own trading records to rate its major customers.

The Group measures the loss allowance for trade receivables at an amount equal to lifetime ECLs. The expected credit losses on trade receivables are estimated using a provision matrix approach considering the past default experience of the customer a

customer segments, the provision for loss allowance based on past due status is not further dis

The Group writes off a trade receivable when there is evidence indicating that the debtor is in severe financial difficulty and there is no realistic prospect of recovery. For trade receivables that have been written off, the Group continues to engage in enforcement activity to attempt to recover the receivables due. Where recoveries are made, these are recognized in profit or loss.

d. Financial risk management objectives and policies

trade receivables, trade payables, lease liabilities and access to domestic and international financial markets, monitors and manages the financial risks relating to the operations of the Group through internal risk reports which analyze exposures by degree and magnitude of risks. These risks include market risk (including foreign currency risk, interest rate risk and other price risk), credit risk and liquidity risk.

The Group seeks to minimize the effects of these risks by using derivative financial instruments to the board of directors, which provided written principles on foreign currency risk, interest rate risk, credit risk, the use of financial derivatives and non-derivative financial instruments, and the investment of excess liquidity. Compliance with policies and exposure limits is reviewed by the internal auditors on a continuous basis. The Group did not enter into or trade financial instruments, including derivative financial instruments, for speculative purposes.

1) Market risk

changes in foreign currency risk, interest risk and other price risk. The Group entered into forward foreign exchange contracts to hedge the foreign currency risk arising from the importations denominated in United States dollar.

a) Foreign currency risk

foreign exchange is within standard, utilizing derivative - foreign currency forward contract - to manage risks.

monetary liabilities (including those eliminated on consolidation) and of the derivatives exposed to foreign currency risk at the end of the year are set out in Note 34.

Sensitivity analysis

The Group is mainly exposed to the fluctuations of United States dollars (USD).

functional currency against the relevant foreign currencies.

The sensitivity rate used when reporting foreign currency risk internally to key management exchange rates is 5%. The sensitivity analysis included only outstanding foreign currency denominated monetary items (e.g. trade receivables, trade payables and borrowing from external entities), and adjusts their translation at the end of the year for a 5% change in foreign currency rates. A positive number below indicates an increase in pre-tax profit and other equity associated with functional currency strengthened by 5% against the relevant foreign currency. For a 5% weakening of functional currency against the relevant foreign currency, there would be an equal and opposite impact on pre-tax profit and other equity, and the balances below would be negative.

Sensitivity analysis

for both derivatives and non-derivative instruments at the end of the year. For floating rate liabilities, the analysis was prepared assuming the amount of the liability outstanding at the end of the year was outstanding for the whole year. Sensitivity rate of 1% increase or decrease was used when reporting interest rate risk internally to key management personnel and represents

174

If interest rates had been 1% higher/lower and all other variables were held constant, the -tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $807 thousand and $401 thousand, respectively, which was mainly a result of the change in floating rate bank borrowings and bank deposits.

The increases in net financial assets of cash flow interest rate risk.

c) Other price risk

The Group was exposed to price risk through its investments in money market fund instruments which were classified as financial assets at FVTPL. The investments are held for strategic purposes. The Group manages this exposure by maintaining a portfolio of investments with lower risks.

Sensitivity analysis

The sensitivity analysis below was determined based on the exposure to money market funds price risks at the end of the year.

If money market funds prices had been 1% higher/lower, pre-tax profit for the years ended December 31, 2020 and 2019 would have increased/decreased by $598 thousand and $605 thousand, respectively, as a result of the changes in fair value of financial assets at FVTPL.

2) Credit risk

Credit risk refers to the risk that a counterparty will default on its contractual obligations resulting in financial los which would cause a financial loss to the Group due to the failure of the counterparty to discharge its obligations and due to financial guarantees provided by the Group, could be equal to the carrying amount of the respective recognized financial assets as stated in the balance sheets.

In order to minimize credit risk, the management of the Group has delegated a team responsible for determining credit limits, credit approvals and other monitoring procedures to ensure that follow-up action is taken to recover overdue receivables.

3) Liquidity risk

The Group manages liquidity risk by monitoring and maintaining a level of cash and cash equivalents deemed adequate to finance fluctuations in cash flows. In addition, management monitors the utilization of bank borrowings and ensures compliance with loan covenants.

The Group relies on bank borrowings as a significant source of liquidity. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Group had available unutilized short-term bank loan facilities set out in (c) below.

a) Liquidity and interest rate risk tables for non-derivative financial liabilities

The following tables detail the Grou -derivative financial liabilities with agreed repayment periods. The tables had been drawn up based on the undiscounted cash flows of financial liabilities from the earliest date on which the Group can be required to pay. The tables included both interest and principal cash flows.

175

Specifically, bank loans with a repayment on demand clause were included in the earliest time band regardless of the probability of the banks choosing to exercise their rights. The maturity dates for other non-derivative financial liabilities were based on the agreed upon repayment dates.

To the extent that interest flows are at floating rates, the undiscounted amount was derived from the interest rate curve at the end of the year.

During the suspension, the Company coordinated with its customers on the timing of shipment and All Cosmos Industries Sdn. Bhd. assisted in the shipment of inventory and, therefore, there was no significant impact on the overall operation.

In January 2021, due to an employee's confirmed diagnosis of COVID-19, the production department of All Cosmos Industries Sdn. Bhd. was spontaneously suspended from January 21, 2021 to January 26, 2021. In response to the regulation of COVID-19 prevention issued by the health bureau, the production department extended the suspension of work and to resume work on January 29, 2021.
