Independent Auditors’ Review Report

To the Board of Directors of Eastern Media International Corporation:

Introduction

We have reviewed the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Eastern Media International Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and changes in equity and cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies. 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 International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China. Our responsibility is to express a conclusion on the consolidated financial statements based on our reviews.

Scope of Review

Except as explained in the Basis for Qualified Conclusion paragraph, we conducted our reviews in accordance with Statement of Auditing Standards 65, “Review of Financial Information Performed by the Independent Auditor of the Entity”. A review of the 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 conducted in accordance with the generally accepted auditing standards 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.

Basis for Qualified Conclusion

As stated in Note 4b, the consolidated financial statements included the financial statements of certain non-significant subsidiaries, which were not reviewed by independent auditors. These financial statements reflect total assets amounting to $173,147 thousand and $942,407 thousand, constituting 1.09% and 6.36% of consolidated total assets as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, total liabilities amounting to $57,223 thousand and $29,295 thousand, constituting 0.60% and 0.37% of consolidated total liabilities as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and total comprehensive income amounting to $945 thousand and $32,165 thousand, constituting 1.95% and 24.30% of consolidated total comprehensive income for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively.

Furthermore, as stated in Note 13 the other equity accounted investments of Eastern Media International Corporation and its subsidiaries in its investee companies of $1,948,460 thousand and $2,040,569 thousand as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, and its equity in net loss on these investee companies of $(1,899) thousand and $(27,674) thousand for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively, were recognized solely on the financial statement prepared by these investee companies, but not reviewed by independent auditors.

3

Qualified Conclusion

Except for the adjustments, if any, as might have been determined to be necessary had the financial statements of certain consolidated subsidiaries and equity accounted investee companies described in the Basis for Qualified Conclusion paragraph above been reviewed by independent auditors, based on our reviews and the review reports of other auditors, nothing has come to our attention that causes us to believe that the accompanying consolidated financial statements do not present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of Eastern Media International Corporation and its subsidiaries as of March 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated cash flows for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and International Accounting Standard 34, “Interim Financial Reporting” endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.

Emphasis of Matetr

As stated in Note 3c, IASB issued Amendment to IFRS 16, “Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions” on May 28, 2020. The amendment was endorsed by the FSC in July, 2020, and initially adopted from January 1, 2020. The Group has elected to apply this amendment with early adoption. This change in accounting policies has no impact on the initial adoption day. However, the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020 should be restated and the review conclusion did not revised.

The engagement partners on the review resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Shin-Chin Chih and Hsin-Ting Huang

EASTERN MEDIA INTERNATIONAL CORPORATION AND SUBSIDIARIES

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements For The Three Months Ended March 31, 2021 And 2020 (Amounts in Thousands of New Taiwan Dollars, Unless Specified Otherwise) (Reviewed, Not Audited)

1. Company history

Eastern Media International Corporation (the “Company”) was established on May 14, 1975 to promote the private port silo business, and its warehouse officially opened in 1980 with the completion of its silo. In order to enhance the operating performance and expand the business scope, the Company merged with Grain Union Transport Ltd. on May 15, 1989. The Company’s shares listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange, classified in the shipping category, on September 25, 1995. In recent years, as the proportion of revenue from shipping has declined and the proportion of revenue from trade has increased to more than 50% of overall revenue, the Company’s shares have changed classification to the retail sales category, as approved by the Taiwan Stock Exchange on July 1, 2014.

The Company's business development is mainly based on diversification. In addition to land development, grain trading and consumer product development and sales, the Company has diversified into new businesses such as cross-strait trade platform and multimedia shopping through its investment in subsidiaries since 2009.

The main businesses of the Company and its subsidiaries (the “Group”) include forwarding, loading and unloading cargo onto/from ships, the handling and operation of wharf and transit shed facilities, selling pet food and supplies, providing pet beauty service, video advertising services and the production of related shows. In addition, the Group terminated all of the lease contracts of its shipping operations in advance in June 2019.

2. Approval date and procedures of the consolidated financial statements

The consolidated financial statements were authorized for issuance by the Board of Directors on May 6, 2021.

3. New standards, amendments and interpretations adopted

  • a. The impact of the International Financial Reporting Standards (“IFRSs”) endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, R.O.C. (“FSC”) which have already been adopted.

The Group has initially adopted the following new amendments, which do not have a significant impact on its consolidated financial statements, from January 1, 2021

  • Amendments to IFRS 4 “Extension of the Temporary Exemption from Applying IFRS 9”

  • Amendments to IFRS 9, IAS39, IFRS7, IFRS 4 and IFRS 16 “Interest Rate Benchmark Reform—Phase 2”

  • • Amendments to IFRS 16 A one-year extension to the practical expedient for COVID-19 related rent concessions”

  • b.

  • The impact of IFRS issued by IASB but not yet endorsed by the FSC

The Group is evaluating the impact of its initial adoption of the abovementioned standards or interpretations on its consolidated financial position and consolidated

12

financial performance. The results thereof will be disclosed when the Group completes its evaluation.

  - Amendments to IFRS 10 and IAS 28 “Sale or Contribution of Assets Between an Investor and Its Associate or Joint Venture”

  - IFRS 17 “ Insurance Contracts” and amendments to IFRS 17 “ Insurance Contracts”

  - Amendments to IAS 1 “Classification of Liabilities as Current or Non-current”

  - Amendments to IAS 16 “Property, Plant and Equipment—Proceeds before Intended Use”

  - Amendments to IAS 37 `“` Onerous Contracts `-` Cost of Fulfilling a Contract `”`

  - Annual Improvements to IFRS Standards 2018–2020

  - Amendments to IFRS 3 “Reference to the Conceptual Framework”

  - Amendments to IAS 1 “Disclosure of Accounting Policies”

  - Amendments to IAS 8 “Definition of Accounting Estimates”
  • c. IASB issued Amendment to IFRS 16, “Covid-19-Related Rent Concessions” on May 28, 2020. As a practical expedient, a lessee may elect not to assess whether a rent concession that meets certain conditions is a lease modification, rather any changes in lease liability are recognized in profit or loss. The Group has elected to apply the practical expedient for all rent concessions that meet the criteria beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption. Therefore, the Group restated the consolidated financial statements for the three months ended March 31, 2020. The influences were as follows:

  • (b) Subsidiaries excluded from the consolidated financial statements: None.

  • c. Leases

As a practical expedient, the Group elects not to assess whether all rent concessions that meets all the following conditions are lease modifications or not:

  • the rent concessions occurring as a direct consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic;

  • the change in lease payments that resulted in revised consideration for the lease that is substantially the same as, or less than, the consideration for the lease immediately preceding the change;

  • any reduction in lease payments that affects only those payments originally due on, or before, June 30, 2022; and

  • there is no substantive change in other terms and conditions of the lease.

In accordance with the practical expedient, the effect of the change in the lease liability is reflected in profit or loss in the period in which the event or condition that triggers the rent concession occurs.

  • d. Income taxes

The income tax expenses have been prepared and disclosed in accordance with paragraph B12 of International Financial Reporting Standards 34, Interim Reporting.

Income tax expenses for the period are best estimated by multiplying pre-tax income for the interim reporting period by the effective annual tax rate as forecasted by the management. This should be recognized fully as tax expense for the current period.

Temporary differences between the carrying amounts of assets and liabilities for financial reporting purposes and their respective tax bases shall be measured based on the tax rates that have been enacted or substantively enacted at the time of the asset or liability is recovered or settled, and be recognized directly in equity or other comprehensive income as tax expense.

  • e. Employee benefits

The pension cost in the interim period was calculated and disclosed on a year-to-date basis by using the actuarially determined pension cost rate at the end of the prior fiscal year.

5. Significant accounting assumptions and judgments, and major sources of estimation uncertainty:

The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with the Regulations and IFRSs (in accordance with IAS 34 “Interim Financial Reporting” and endorsed by the FSC) requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the application of the accounting policies and the reported amount of assets, liabilities, income and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

The preparation of the consolidated interim financial statements, estimates and underlying assumptions are reviewed on an ongoing basis which are in conformity with the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. For the related information, please refer to Note V of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.

(a) Please refer to Note 9 for the details of accounts receivable and its impairment.

(b) The major change in the balance of contract assets and contract liabilities is the difference between the time frame in the performance obligation to be satisfied and the payment to be received. There were no significant changes.

31. Remuneration of employees

If the Company makes a profit during the year (referring to profit before tax minus the profit before the distribution of employee compensation), then after deducting any accumulated loss, 3.5% of the balance shall be allocated as employee compensation and the amount allocated shall be used as the current year's expense. Employees’ remuneration is based on stocks or cash, subject to a special resolution of the board of directors and reporting to the regular shareholders meeting.

The company's employee compensation for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 are respectively $1,017 and $189. The estimated amounts mentioned above are calculated based on the net profit before tax, excluding the remuneration to employees, multiplied by the percentage of remuneration to employees. These remunerations were expensed under operating costs or expenses during those periods. The differences between the actual distributed amounts, as determined by the board of directors, and those recognized in the financial statements, if any, shall be accounted for as changes in accounting estimates and recognized in profit or loss in the following year. The numbers of shares to be distributed were calculated based on the closing price of the Company’s ordinary shares, one day before the date of the meeting of Board of Directors.

For the year ended December 31, 2020 and 2019, the Company estimated its employee remuneration amounting to $11,637 and $7,025, respectively. The amounts of

36

employees’ and directors’ remuneration, as stated in the consolidated financial statements, were identical to the actual distributions amounts for the year 2020 and 2019. For further information, please refer to the Market Observation Post System.

33. Financial instruments

  • a. Credit risk

  • (a) Credit risk exposure

As of March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, the maxinum credit exposure for the Group originates from possible non-fulfillment of obligations by counterparties and from financial losses arising from financial guarantees provided by the Company, mainly from:

  • ‧ The carrying amount of financial assets recognized in the consolidated balance sheet; and

  • ‧ The amount of liabilities as a result from the Group providing financial guarantees to its customers was $1,201,264, $1,120,682, and $562,500.

  • (b) Concentration of credit risk

The Group caters to a large group of customers; therefore, there is no concentration of regional credit risk.

For credit risk exposure of notes and accounts receivable, please refer to Note 9.

All of these financial assets are considered to have low risk, and thus, the impairment provision recognized during the period was limited to 12 months expected losses. (Regarding how the financial instruments are considered to have low credit risk, please refer to Note IV(VII) the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020.)

The loss allowance provision for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020 were determined as follows:

(b) Sensitivity analysis

The Group’s exposure to exchange rate risk arises from the translation of the foreign currency exchange gains and losses on cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, other receivables, loans, accounts payable, and other payables that are denominated in foreign currency. If the TWD, when compared with each major foreign currency, had appreciated or depreciated 1% (with other factors remaining constant on the reporting date), net profit before tax would have respectively increased or decreased by $125 and $3,892 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, respectively. The analysis is performed on the same basis for both periods.

As the Group deals in diverse foreign currencies, gains or losses on foreign exchange are summarized as a single amount. For the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020, foreign currency exchange losses (including realized and unrealized) amounted $4,098 and $2,105, respectively.

d. Interest rate analysis

The interest risk exposure of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities is described in the note on market risk management.

The following sensitivity analysis is based on the exposure to interest rate risk of the derivative and non-derivative financial instruments on the reporting date. For variable rate instruments, the sensitivity analysis assumes the variable rate liabilities on the reporting date have been outstanding for the whole year. The Group’s internal management reported the increases/decreases in interest rates, and changes in interest rates of one basis point are considered by management to be reasonably possible.

If the interest rate had increased or decreased by 1% and assuming all other variable factors remained constant, the Group’s net profit after tax would have respectively increased or decreased by $2,201 and $7,915 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020. This is mainly due to the Group’s variable rate deposit and borrowing.

40

e. Other market price risk

Sensitivity analyses for the changes in the securities price at the reporting date were performed using the same basis for the profit and loss as illustrated below:

  • (b) Valuation techniques for financial instruments not measured at fair value

The Group’s valuation techniques and assumptions used for financial instruments not measured at fair value are as follows:

  • (b-1) Financial assets measured at amortized cost and financial liabilities measured at amortized cost

If the quoted prices in active markets are available, the market price is established as the fair value. However, if quoted prices in active markets are not available, the estimated valuation or prices used by competitors are adopted. If there is quoted price generated by transactions, the recent transaction price and quoted price data is used as the basis for fair value measurement. However, if no quoted price are available, estimates shall be used. The estimates and assumptions used in the evaluation method shall be the discounted value of cash flows to estimate the fair value.

  • (c) Valuation techniques for financial instruments measured at fair value

(c-1) Non-derivative financial instruments

If there is a quoted market price in an active market for a financial instrument, the fair value is based on the quoted market price in an active market. The fair value of listed (over-the-counter) equity instruments and debt instruments with quoted prices in active markets are based on quoted market prices on major exchanges and over-the-counter (OTC) central government bond marketplaces, which are judged to be popular securities.

A financial instrument is publicly quoted in an active market if quoted prices are readily and consistently available from exchanges, brokers, underwriters, industry associations, pricing services authorities, or regulatory authorities, and if those prices represent prices that are representative of actual and regularly occurring fair market activity. If the above conditions are not met, the market is considered inactive. In general, large bid-ask spreads, significant increases in bid-ask spreads, or low trading volume are indicators of an inactive market.

The fair values of the Group’s financial assets and liabilities, such as shares, funds and bonds of listed companies, with standard terms and conditions and traded in active markets, are determined by reference to quoted market prices, respectively.

Except for the above-mentioned financial instruments for which there is an active market, the fair values of other financial instruments are based on valuation techniques or quoted prices with reference to counterparties.

  • (c-2) Derivative financial instruments

Derivative financial instruments are valued based on widely accepted

43

valuation models, such as discounted and option pricing models. Structured interest rate derivative financial instruments are valued using an appropriate option pricing model (e.g., Black-Scholes model) or other valuation techniques, such as Monte Carlo simulation.

  • (d) Transfers between Level 1 and Level 2

There was no transfer between Level 1 and Level 2 for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

  • (e) Reconciliation of Level 3 fair values

There was no fair value through other comprehensive income recognized for the three months ended March 31, 2021 and 2020.

  • (f) Quantified information on significant unobservable inputs (Level 3) used in fair value measurement

The Group’s financial instruments that use Level 3 inputs to measure fair value are “Financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income.”

Quantified information of significant unobservable inputs was as follows:

  • (g) Fair value measurements in Level 3 – sensitivity analysis of reasonably possible alternative assumptions

The Group’s fair value measurement of financial instruments is reasonable, but using different evaluation models or evaluation parameters may result in different evaluation results. For fair value measurements in Level 3, changing one or more of the assumptions to reflect reasonably possible alternative assumptions would have the following effects:

The favorable and unfavorable effects represent the changes in fair value, and fair value is based on a variety of unobservable inputs calculated using a valuation technique. The analysis above only reflects the effects of changes in a single input, and it does not include the interrelationships with another input.

  • (b) The subsidiary-MWT had signed a contract with Sunny Bank Co., Ltd., and the bank provided guarantee with sufficient performance guarantee according to the contract. As of March 31, 2021, the unused e-voucher guaranteed by the bank was $10,284.

  • b. Contingent liabilities were as follows:

  • (a)On October 27, 2008, the Securities and Futures Investors Protection Center (the SFIPC) filed a lawsuit to the Taipei District Court against the ex-chairman and the general manager of the Company, together with all the previous directors and supervisors, alleging the offense of gaining an illegal benefit for Chia Hsin and Synthetic Fiber Co.,

51

Ltd. as well as for the family members of the ex-chairman. The prosecution is based on the alleged ill-gotten assets from the Company by means of false commodity transactions and capital increment in the name of Eastern International Lease Finance Co., Ltd. and Tung Kai Lease Finance Co., Ltd. (both are subsidiaries of the Company). The SFIPC also demanded the compensation of $41,038. The Taipei District Court ruled that the Company violated the Commercial Company Act. However, both the ex-chairman and the general manager were acquitted, and not only did the Company did not bear any losses from the said transaction above, but on the contrary, it gained a profit amounting to $6,894, plus an additional 5% interest arising from the delayed payment amounting to $6,884 with a total amount around $13,000. In other words, the transaction did not do any damage to the Company and its shareholders. As a result, the appeal filed against the Company was denied by the Taipei District Court on December 5, 2012. However, the SFIPC was not satisfied with the decision made by the court. Therefore, it filed another appeal, this time with the Taiwan High Court, demanding compensation amounting to $22,664. The appeal was denied on December 3, 2013. Nevertheless, the SFIPC filed an appeal once more with the Taiwan High Court on December 24, 2013. The case was transferred from the Supreme Court to the High Court on April 23, 2015, for further investigation. On May 10, 2017, the Taiwan High Court ruled against SFIPC. Therefore, SFIPC filed an appeal to the Supreme Court on June 6, 2017. On February 23, 2021, the Taiwan High Court still ruled against SFIPC. However, SFIPC filed an appeal and the Supreme Court retimed to the High Court for a second trial. Currently, the arbitration process is still in progress and the results have yet to be determined.

  • (b) The Company and its subsidiary, FESS Panama, jointly chartered and returned the ship to South Korea’s Sammok Shipping Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as Sammok) at Kaohsiung Port in accordance with the contract signed on August 10, 2018. Sammok believed that the ship still has many defects due to its usual operation and negligence of maintenance; hence, submitted arbitration to the London Maritime Arbitration Association. The Company also filed a statement of defense to the arbitral tribunal in July 2019. Currently, the arbitration process is still in progress and the results have yet to be determined.

  • (c) The Company established a legal affair department and hired external counselors to handle its legal affairs. As of March 31, 2021, December 31, 2020 and March 31, 2020, all unsettled lawsuits had no impact on its financial and business operation.
