INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REVIEW REPORT

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Charoen Pokphand Enterprise (Taiwan) Co., Ltd.

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Charoen Pokphand Enterprise (Taiwan) Co., Ltd. and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the threemonth periods then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of these consolidated financial statements in accordance with the “Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on these consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

We conducted our reviews in accordance with the Statement of Auditing Standards No. 65, “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity” in the Republic of China. A review of consolidated financial statements consists of making inquiries, primarily of persons responsible for financial and accounting matters, and applying analytical and other review procedures. A review is substantially less in scope than an audit and consequently does not enable us to obtain assurance that we would become aware of all significant matters that might be identified in an audit. Accordingly, we do not express an audit opinion.

Consumable biological assets are those that are to be harvested as agricultural products or sold as biological assets. Bearer biological assets are those other than consumable biological assets.

  • B. Movements of biological assets are as follows:

C. Biological assets are comprised of broiler chicken, breeder chicken, fattening swine, and breeder swine, etc. Biological assets, other than fattening swine which are measured at fair value less costs to sell at each reporting date, are measured at cost less accumulated depreciation and impairment losses. The fair value of fattening swine is measured using quoted market prices as references.

~20~

The market prices or fair values at the present condition of breeders are unavailable due to short production cycle; the market prices or fair values at present condition of broiler chickens are difficult to obtain. The valuation based on a discounted cash flow method is considered unreliable given the uncertainty with respect to external factors such as climate, weather, diseases etc. Therefore, breeders and broiler chicken are measured using the cost approach. Cost of biological assets includes all costs incurred during the growth cycle such as costs of new-born animals, feeds, and other farm costs. Bearer biological assets are depreciated using the straight-line method through the productive period of each biological asset. The productive period of breeder swine is approximately 24 ~ 36 months; the productive period of breeder chickens is approximately 30 weeks ~ 1 year. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, depreciation expense on biological assets amounted to $107,855 and $108,339, respectively.

  • D. Estimates of physical quantities of biological assets are as follows:

March 31, 2021 December 31, 2020 March 31, 2020 Livestock production: Estimates of physical 5,639,067 5,681,548 6,342,086 quantities (Units: heads)

  • E. Financial risk management policies

The Group is exposed to commodity risks arising from changes in market prices of chickens and swine. The Group does not anticipate that the prices of the agricultural products will decline significantly in the foreseeable future and there is no available derivative or other contracts. The Group reviews the predictions of the price of the agriculture products regularly, and considers to take the financial risk.

Under the defined benefit plans, two units are accrued for each year of service for the first 15 years and one unit for each additional year thereafter, subject to a maximum of 45 units. Pension benefits are based on the number of units accrued and the average monthly salaries and wages of the last 6 months prior to retirement. The Company and its domestic subsidiaries contribute monthly an amount equal to specific percentage of the employees’ monthly salaries and wages to the retirement fund deposited with the Bank of Taiwan, the trustee, under the name of the independent retirement fund committee. Also, the Company and its domestic subsidiaries would assess the balance in the aforementioned labor pension reserve account by December 31, every year.

Price risk

  • i. The Group is exposed to equity securities price risk because of investments held by the Group and classified on the consolidated balance sheet as financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income. Please refer to Note 6(2).

  • ii. For the Group’s strategies for biological assets price risk, please refer to Note 6(5).

~49~
  • iii. The Group’s investment in equity securities comprise foreign listed stocks. The prices of equity securities would change due to the change of the future value of investee companies. If the prices of these equity securities had increased/decreased by 1% with all other variables held constant, other equity for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 would have increased/decreased by $20,609 and $17,272, respectively, as a result of gains/losses on equity securities classified as equity investment at fair value through other comprehensive income.

Cash flow and fair value interest rate risk

  • i. The Group’s interest rate risk arises from long-term borrowings. Borrowings issued at variable rates expose the Group to cash flow interest rate risk which is partially offset by cash and cash equivalents held at variable rates. Borrowings issued at fixed rates expose the Group to fair value interest rate risk. During the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, the Group’s borrowings at variable rate were denominated in NTD.

  • ii. The Group analyses its interest rate exposure on a dynamic basis. Various scenarios are simulated taking into consideration refinancing, renewal of existing positions, alternative financing and hedging. Based on these scenarios, the Group calculates the impact on profit and loss of a defined interest rate shift. For each simulation, the same interest rate shift is used for all currencies. The scenarios run only for liabilities that represent the major interest-bearing positions.

  • iii. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, if interest rates on NTDdenominated borrowings at that date had been 1% higher/lower with all other variables held constant, post-tax profit for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, would have been $9,173 and $5,763 lower/higher, respectively, mainly as a result of higher/lower interest expense on floating rate borrowings.

(b) Credit risk

  • i. Credit risk refers to the risk of financial loss to the Group arising from default by the clients or counterparties of financial instruments on the contract obligations. The main factor is the contract cash flows when counterparties could not repay in full the accounts receivable based on the agreed terms.

  • ii. The Group manages their credit risk taking into consideration the entire group’s concern. According to the Group’s credit policy, each local entity in the Group is responsible for managing and analysing the credit risk for each of their new clients before standard payment and delivery terms and conditions are offered. Internal risk control assesses the credit quality of the customers, taking into account their financial position, past experience and other factors. Individual risk limits are set based on internal or external ratings in accordance with limits set by the Board of Directors. The utilisation of credit limits is regularly monitored.

~50~
  • iii. Based on the Group’s historical experience, if the contract payments were past due over 17 days, there has been a significant increase in credit risk on that instrument since initial recognition. As a result, the Group should strengthen controls and make follow-up procedures.

  • iv. The Group pays attention on specific customers whose payments were past due to confirm the debts and recognises the allowance for bad debts when there is a concern about default based on the assessment of customers’ credit risk.

  • v. The Group classifies customers’ accounts receivable in accordance with customer types. The Group applies the simplified approach using loss rate methodology to estimate expected credit loss impairment under the provision matrix basis.

  • vi. The Group wrote-off the financial assets, which cannot be reasonably expected to be recovered, after initiating recourse procedures. However, the Group will continue executing the recourse procedures to secure their rights. As of March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the Group’s written-off financial assets that are still under recourse procedures amounted to $179, $720 and $212, respectively.

  • vii. (i) The expected loss rate for well-reputed customers is 0.03%. As of March 31, 2021, December 31,2020 and March 31, 2020, the total book value of accounts receivable and loss allowance amounted to $759,002 and $0; $705,100 and $0; and $721,506 and $0, respectively.

  • (ii) The Group used the forecastability of the global economy to adjust historical and timely information to assess the default possibility of accounts receivable in accordance with customers’ credit. As of March 31, 2021, December 31,2020 and March 31, 2020, the expected loss rate is as follows:

At March 31 $ 1,681

The reversal of impairment loss arising from customers’ contracts for the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 amounted to $0 and $19, respectively.

(c) Liquidity risk

  • i. Cash flow forecasting is performed in the operating entities of the Group and aggregated by Group treasury. Group treasury monitors rolling forecasts of the Group’s liquidity requirements to ensure it has sufficient cash to meet operational needs. Such forecasting takes into consideration the Group’s financial ratio targets, covenant compliance and applicable external regulatory or legal requirements.

  • ii. The table below analyses the Group’s non-derivative financial liabilities into relevant maturity groupings based on the remaining period at the balance sheet date to the contractual maturity date. The amounts disclosed in the table are the contractual undiscounted cash flows.

(3) Fair value information

  • A. Details of the fair value of the Group’s financial assets and financial liabilities not measured at fair value are provided in Note 12(2) A.

  • B. The different levels that the inputs to valuation techniques are used to measure fair value of financial and non-financial instruments have been defined as follows:

  • Level 1: Quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities that the entity can access at the measurement date. A market is regarded as active where a market in which transactions for the asset or liability take place with sufficient frequency and volume to provide pricing information on an ongoing basis. The fair value of the Group’s investment in listed stocks is included in Level 1.

  • Level 2: Inputs other than quoted prices included within Level 1 that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly. The fair value of the Group’s investment in biological assets is included in Level 2.

Level 3: Unobservable inputs for the asset or liability.

  • C. The related information on financial and non-financial instruments measured at fair value by level based on the nature, characteristics and risks of the assets and liabilities is as follows:

  • (c) Details of methods for measuring Level 2 - Biological assets are provided in Note 6(5).

  • E. For the three-month periods ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, there was no transfer between Level 1and Level 2.
