II. 2023 Business Plan

1. Business Objectives

As we enter the post-epidemic era of Covid-19, countries around the world have once again opened their borders to a certain extent. Our country has also lifted some controls, and the economy is showing signs of reviving. However, the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the Federal Reserve's interest rate hike, inflation, US-China trade war, combined with the food crisis caused by extreme weather and property losses from the natural disasters, are all affecting the domestic and international political and economic environment.

9

We use our internal resources flexibly, expand the scope of the circular agri-food economy, and maximize the use of our resources. We closely monitor the international raw material market trends for diversified procurement; additionally, we increase the sourcing amount of locally grown grain to ensure stable raw material supply. Moreover, we renovate the old plants, replace energy-saving equipment, improve processes, quantify greenhouse gas emission inventory and adopt AI technology with digital transformation, and international food safety management systems to ensure product quality. By staying abreast of international politics and economics and consumer market trends, we actively expand our virtual and physical channels via integration, and brand marketing to deepen the consumers’ brand recognition.

  1. Operations Strategy:

  6. (5) Disclose the company’s ESG-related information to offer transparency, communicate directly with the stakeholders, and promote sustainable business operations.

  7. (6) Continue with the promotion of digital transformation, replace the company's enterprise resource planning system, ERP, and create a good working environment with efficient business operation.

  8. Sales forecast and sales policy

10

III. Development Strategy and Policy

  1. Monitor the global grain commodity market, closely follow the geopolitics issues to ensure precision procurement to lower the cost of operations. Adjust the procurement strategies via supply chain diversification and increase the sourcing amount of locally grown grain to mitigate the procurement risks to ensure continuous production.

  2. Continue with the digital transformation, to apply the analytical techniques in smart operations, smart manufacturing and smart farming to raise operational efficiency and productivity.

  3. Implement sustainable procurement by increasing the amount of purchase of US SSAP certified soybean, RSPO palm oil, and FSC certified cardboards to integrate the supply chain and achieve carbon reduction.

  4. Implement risk management analysis and identification. Incorporate emerging risk issues and formulate response strategies to reduce risk to ensure smooth operation.

  5. B2C model is the leading market trend; adopt B2C product concepts to increase B2C market share.

IV. The Impact of the External Competitive Environment, Regulatory Environment, and Macroeconomic Conditions

In 2022, with the ongoing Russia-Ukraine war, the further spreading of the Covid-19 in Taiwan, US Federal Reserve rate hike, inflation, and the constant updates in food safety regulations, all factors lead us to adjust our operational strategies accordingly but with the effective procurement of grain commodity and the efforts from our teams, we were able to achieve our annual goals. As Taiwan’s economy regained some ground, the changes in consumer purchase behavior post-pandemic motivated new product innovation, renovated old plants, upgraded machinery, smart devices assisted in decision-making, and expanded the scope of circular agri-food economy; these efforts supported our sustainable growth.

We continue to comply with laws and regulations, food safety culture policy, food safety management system to ensure product quality and safety. At the same time, in responding to Taiwan 2050 Net Zero, we will continue to pursue effective measures in carbon reduction, energy conservation, greenhouse gas emissions, application of circular agri-food economy, and the extension of useful life of resources to increase the operational value. In 2022, we received numerous

11

recognitions for our achievements in sustainable business development, carbon reduction, and digital transformation. We enhanced our corporate image and brand recognition through media, advertisements, and creative marketing strategies.

In a time of uncertainties, whether supply chain, market trends, geopolitical issues, or inflations, we adapt to the changes with flexible operating strategies. As Taiwan actively prepares to take steps toward achieving net zero carbon emissions by 2050, all organizations are faced with the upcoming compliance issues. We are committed to improve our operational capacities and business technology through digital transformation, machinery upgrades, and factory renovations to conserve energy and reduce carbon emissions. Additionally, we will strengthen our organizational knowledge-sharing culture to reinforce the importance of carbon reduction, and ESG implementation toward a sustainable business.

Appendix 3

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, 2022 and 2021, 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, 2022 and 2021, 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

15

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, 2022. 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 2022 are stated as follows:

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 2022 and 2021 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

16

accountants. The Company’s equity investment in the above-mentioned investee companies as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, were NT$500,679 thousand and NT$438,892 thousand respectively, accounting for 5.45% and 5.44% of the total assets,. The comprehensive benefits recognized by the equity method in 2022 and 2021 were NT$49,023 thousand and NT$52,654 thousand, respectively, accounting for 15.03% and 16.41% 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

17

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 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 opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  • 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 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.

  • 5.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

  • 6.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

18

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 standalone financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 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

SOLOMON & CO., CPAs. Taichung, Taiwan Republic of China March 21, 2022

Notice to Readers

The accompanying standalone financial statements are intended only to present the standalone financial position, financial performance and cash flows in accordance with accounting principles and practices generally accepted in the Republic of China and not those of any other jurisdictions. The standards, procedures and practices to audit such standalone financial statements are those generally applied in the Republic of China. For the convenience of readers, the independent auditors’ report and the accompanying standalone financial statements have been translated into English from the original Chinese version prepared and used in the Republic of China. If there is any conflict between the English version and the original Chinese version or any difference in the interpretation of the two versions, the Chinese-language independent auditors’ report and standalone financial statements shall prevail.

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, 2022 and 2021, 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 and other auditors’ reports set forth in Major Accounting items, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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

26

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, 2022.

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.

Key audit matters for the Company’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 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, 2022 was NTD 3,728,725 thousand, accounting for 36% 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.

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 27

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 2022, 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, 2022 and 2021 were NTD 351,303 thousand (the same below) and NTD 228,550 thousand, accounting for 3.42% and 2.50% of the total consolidated assets; NTD 341,419 thousand and NTD 273,109 thousand, accounting for 2.01% and 1.85% 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 NTD296,808 thousand and NTD276,418 thousand respectively for the above-mentioned investee companies on December 31, 2022 and 2021, respectively, accounting for 2.89% of the total consolidated assets and 3.02%, and the total consolidated profit and loss recognized using the equity method in 2022 and 2021 in the Republic of China were 56,008 thousand and 40,136 thousand, respectively, accounting for 18.06% and 14.38% of the total consolidated profit and loss.

28

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of FWUSOW INDUSTRY CO., LTD. As of and for the years ended December 31,2022 and 2021 on which we have issued an unmodified opinion plus other matter paragraph.

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:

1.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

29

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 opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.

  • 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 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.

  • 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 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

30

statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 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.
