Appendix 1
Fwusow Industry Co., Ltd 2020 Business Report
Looking bac k in 2020, it w as a y ear f ull o f un certainties and un knowns as the COVID-19 pandemic impacted all aspects of our lives. Each and every country experienced an a ccelerated e conomic dow nturn, and Taiwan w as no ex ception. Due to the close proximity to China, Taiwan was in a state of panic as the world first learned of the spread of COVID-19. Our company business operation was affected as well so we adopted all the necessary preventive measures as Taiwan also rolled out the crucial policy in the prevention and control of COVID-19. The Taiwan model for combating COVID-19 is a success. Our company was able to operate as usual without any disruptions from the pandemic. With the COVID-19 crisis, fundamental changes to the market and consumer behavior are knocking companies off balance. We need to develop a rapid response to address current disruptions and to repurpose for the post-COVID era.
The pandemic brought upon a huge impact on the global supply chain. The food processing industry that imported all of its raw material bore the brunt as national lockdowns and po rt cl osures caused transportation di sruptions. M oreover, t he effects of climate change on raw materials increased the level of operational difficulty for the industry. In recent years, corporate risk management has been our focus. By examining risks and discovering opportunities, we timely adjust the company’s supply procurement model. In 2020, our grain commodity purchase price and t he existing inventory provided us some financial advantages to allow for higher product gross profit and meet our annual operational goals. In 2020, Fwusow Industry had a modest growth compared with the previous year; the operating revenue was NT$12,324,165,000; net income of NT$565,233,000.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
Translated from Chinese
The Board of Directors and Shareholders FWUSOW INDUSTRY CO., LTD.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of FWUSOW INDUSTRY CO., LTD. (the “Company”), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion and other auditors’ reports set forth in Major Accounting Items, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its financial performance and its cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit 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 Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we are independent of the Company, fulfilling 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for the Company’s parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31 2021 are stated as follows:
17
Impairment of accounts receivable
The loss allowance for accounts receivable is measured by management’s simplified method in accordance with IFRS9 “Financial Instruments”, which appropriates a loss allowance at an amount equal to accounts receivable lifetime expected credit loss. The assessment of the loss allowance for accounts receivable is based on historical default records, current informed financial conditions as well as forward-looking economic conditions. Due to the fact that appropriateness of the allowance loss is significant management judgement, it is deemed to be one of the key audit matters.
The accounting policies are described in Note of the individual financial report. For book value of accounts receivable, please refer to the disclosures in note 6(4) and (20) of the individual financial report.
The main audit procedures carried out by the accountants include testing the effectiveness of internal control operations related to accounts receivable, carefully assessing the management’s classification of accounts receivable aging schedule and the reasonableness of the loss rate ratio, comparing current year’s aging distribution of accounts receivable with the year before, and analyzing whether there are any major abnormalities in the turnover rate of accounts receivable in the two periods. We also send out confirmation letters to clients which have outstanding balance by the end of the year and review its collection after this accounting year.
Inventory evaluation
The value of inventory is affected by market supply and demand. In addition, the allocation of inventory cost elements and the estimated amount of net realizable value are subject to the subjective judgment of the management. Therefore, the accountants pay special attention to the cost and net realizable value and the appropriateness of the loss of devaluation of inventories by management in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standards (IAS2).and the reasonableness of the management to appropriate allowance for inventory demmvaluation losses.
The principal audit procedure performed by the accountant is to obtain inventory entry data and perform detailed tests to verify that the raw material cost, labor input and manufacturing costs of the inventory have been reasonably allocated to the appropriate inventory items. The accountants compare the actual sales price of the inventory at the end of the period with its book value in a sampling manner to verify whether the inventory has been evaluated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The accountants also compare the inventory quantity data obtained from annual inventory check with accounting record to test the existence and completeness of inventory in the end of year; By participating in and observing the annual perpetual inventory, accountants assess the appropriateness of allowance for inventory devaluation losses .

Other major accounting issue
The financial statements in year 2020 and 2019 of some investee companies accounted for using the equity method, were not audited by us but other accountants; therefore, the accountants’ opinions in the Company's financial statements and the relevant information disclosed in Note 13 are based on the audit reports of other accountants. The Company’s equity investment in the abovementioned investee companies as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, were NT$317,277 thousand and NT$250,531 thousand respectively, accounting for 4.19% and 3.19% of the total assets,. The comprehensive benefits recognized by the equity method in 2020 and 2019 were NT$40,025 thousand and NT$26,607 thousand, respectively, accounting for 6.48% and 13.28% of the total comprehensive benefits.
Responsibilities of management and governance units for Parent Company Only financial statements
The management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulation Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
When preparing parent company only financial statements, the management’s responsibilities also include assessing the company’s ability to continue as going concern, disclosure of related matters, and the adoption of the accounting basis as a going concern, unless the management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or in addition to liquidation or there is no other practical and feasible plan but to do so.
The governing unit (including the audit committee) of the Company is responsible for supervising the financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of 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 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:
19
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.
-
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 opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinions.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and, the timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
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.
20
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the standalone financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in 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.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Sung-Yu Liu and Zi-Yu Chen

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders FWUSOW INDUSTRY CO., LTD.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of FWUSOW INDUSTRY CO., LTD. and its subsidiaries (the “Company”), 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 the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company 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 the International Financial Reporting Standards(IFRS),International Accounting Standards(IAS),IFRIC Interpretations(IFRIC),and SIC Interpretation(SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audit 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 Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we are independent of the parent company and subsidiaries, fulfilling 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.
28
Key audit matters for the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are stated as follows:
Property, plant and equipment impairment assessment
The balance of the real property, plant and equipment of FWUSOW INDUSTRY CO., LTD. and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020 was NTD 3,877,047 thousand, accounting for 45% of the total assets, in accordance with the provisions of the International Accounting Standards Bulletin, when the real property, plant and equipment of each cash-generating unit show signs of impairment, it should assess whether the asset has been impaired. As mentioned in Notes 4 and 5 of the consolidated financial statements, the management adopts the value-in-use model to evaluate the recoverable amount. When determining the future operating cash flow, it will consider its future operating outlook to estimate the predicted sales growth and profit, etc., and estimate the weighting. The average cost of capital rate is used as the discount rate. As these assumptions involve subjective judgments and may be affected by the future market conditions, there is a high degree of uncertainty.
The main audit procedures carried out by the accountant include obtaining the asset impairment assessment form of the cash-generating unit self-assessed by the management of the subsidiary and the key assumptions used in the assessment of the future cash flow of the management of the subsidiary, including the comparison with the historical results to evaluate the estimated business. Check whether the discount rate used is appropriate.
Impairment of accounts receivable
The loss allowance for accounts receivable is measured by management’s simplified method in accordance with IFRS9 “Financial Instruments”, which appropriates a loss allowance at an amount equal to accounts receivable lifetime expected credit loss. The assessment of the loss allowance for accounts receivable is based on historical default records, current informed financial conditions as well as forward-looking economic conditions. Due to the fact that appropriateness of the allowance loss is significant management judgement, it is deemed to be one of the key audit matters.
The accounting policies are as described in Note 4 and 5 of the consolidated financial report. For the book value of accounts receivable, please refer to the disclosures in notes 6 (5) of the consolidated financial report.
The main audit procedures carried out by the accountants include testing the effectiveness of internal control operations related to accounts receivable, carefully assessing the management’s classification of accounts receivable aging schedule and the reasonableness of the loss rate ratio, comparing current year’s aging distribution of accounts receivable with the year before, and analyzing whether there are any major abnormalities in the turnover rate of accounts receivable in the two periods. We also send out confirmation letters to clients which have outstanding balance by the end of the year and review its collection after this accounting year.

Inventory evaluation
The value of inventory is affected by market supply and demand. In addition, the allocation of inventory cost elements and the estimated amount of net realizable value are subject to the subjective judgment of the management. Therefore, the accountants pay special attention to the cost and net realizable value and the appropriateness of the loss of devaluation of inventories by management in accordance with the requirements of International Accounting Standards (IAS2) and the reasonableness of the management to appropriate allowance for inventory demmvaluation losses.
The principal audit procedure performed by the accountant is to obtain inventory entry data and perform detailed tests to verify that the raw material cost, labor input and manufacturing costs of the inventory have been reasonably allocated to the appropriate inventory items. The accountants compare the actual sales price of the inventory at the end of the period with its book value in a sampling manner to verify whether the inventory has been evaluated at the lower of cost or net realizable value. The accountants also compare the inventory quantity data obtained from annual inventory check with accounting record to test the existence and completeness of inventory in the end of year. By participating in and observing the annual perpetual inventory, the accountants assess the appropriateness of allowance for inventory devaluation losses.
Other Matter
Listed in Fushou Group’s consolidated financial statements in 2020, the financial statements of some of the subsidiaries were checked by other accountants. Therefore, in the accountant’s opinion on the above consolidated financial statements, the amounts listed in the aforementioned subsidiary’s financial statements are based on the audit reports of other accountants. The total assets of the aforementioned subsidiary as of December 31, 2020 were NTD 50,001 thousand (the same below), accounting for 0.58% of the total consolidated assets; NTD 0 thousand, accounting for 0% of consolidated operating income. It is also included in the above-mentioned consolidated financial statements. Regarding the investee company evaluated by the equity method, its financial statements have not been checked by this accountant but by other accountants. Therefore, the accountant’s opinion on the above financial statements is related to this. The amounts listed in the company's financial statements and the relevant information disclosed in Note 13 are based on audit reports by other accountants. FWUSOW INDUSTRY CO., LTD. and its subsidiaries adopted equity method investment balances of NTD267,321 thousand and NTD250,531 thousand respectively for the above-mentioned investee companies on December 31, 2020 and 2019, respectively, accounting for 3.13% of the total consolidated assets and 2.80%, and the total consolidated profit and loss recognized using the equity method in 2020 and 2019 in the Republic of China were 40,069 thousand and 26,607 thousand, respectively, accounting for 7.06% and 19.30% of the total consolidated profit and loss.
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of FWUSOW INDUSTRY
30
CO., LTD. As of and for the years ended December 31,2020 and 2019 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion.
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 the 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, the management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements
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 issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of 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:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the 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.
-
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 opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
31
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
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.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinions.
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.
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 auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in 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.
