II. Report Items
1. 2021 Business Report
In 2021, Taiwan was placed under level-3 Alert during the COVID-19 epidemic. With increasing prices of raw materials as well as shortage of labor and materials, many industries faced huge challenges. Grape King Bio still managed to generate earnings of NT\$8.81 per share by capitalizing on its quality products and expanding its original design manufacturing (ODM) business. The Company also formed a strategic partnership with Uni-President Enterprises Corporation ("UPEC") to improve sales channel visibility and expand its domestic and overseas markets. As a brand leader in the biotechnology industry, Grape King Bio is committed to innovation, research and product development in order to provide our consumers with a more comprehensive experience. To meet the demands of future operational growth, we have started the construction of a factory in Pingzhen Industrial Park to increase production capacity and expand its business niche.
Along with continuous growth, Grape King Bio values operational performance and responds to stakeholders' expectations and communicates our corporate philosophy. We continue to practice corporate sustainability and integrate ESG into our overall operations, and are committed to comprehensive cultivation of a green environment, R&D innovation, food safety, social co-prosperity and a happy workplace. In addition, we strive to keep information and communication channels open to safeguard the rights and interests of the public and shareholders. Grape King Bio was recognized as one of the Top 5% listed companies in Taiwan for the first time based on corporate governance assessment results in 2021. We were the only Biotech company on the list, successfully responding to the expectations of the public and shareholders.
2021 was another great year for Grape King Bio as we received many awards and international recognition for innovation in business, products, and raw materials, i.e., TOP 5% in Corporate Governance Assessment, "Strategy Excellence Award" from Daily View Best Reviewed Online Awards - Health Industry-Biomedical Healthcare
Category, etc. In the field of Technology Research and Development alone, we received 33 Gold, 2 Silver, 1 Copper and 7 Special awards for our patented technologies such as Probiotics, Cicada, Antrodia, Phellinus linteus, Morchella esculenta and Lignosus Rhinocerus Mycelia. Furthermore, our efforts in promoting Corporate Social Responsibility and a healthy workplace we were presented the "Influenza Prevention Pioneer Gold Award" from the Taiwan Immunization Vision and Strategy as well as a Gold Medal at the "TCSA Corporate Sustainability Report Awards" for the 4th consecutive year. Chairman & CEO, Dr. Shenglin Andrew Tseng was also honored with the "Digital Transformation Award" at the Harvard Business Review's "Digital Makeover in a Changing World" for his dedication and commitment to the Company's digital transformation.
Our subsidiary Pro-Partner Ltd., under the leadership of Chairwoman Chang-Yeh Tseng, General Manager Mei-Ching Tseng and six Consultants, has been growing at a steady pace over the years and ranks 3rd on the Taiwan Multilevel Marketing listings based on revenue. In the 2021 DSN Global 100 list, the Subsidiary ranked 41st among global direct selling companies, which is considered a great achievement in Taiwan.
In addition to meeting the expectations and requirements of shareholders and customers, Grape King Bio also prioritizes social welfare by emphasizing and fulfilling its role in society as a whole. We believe that through continuous learning and improvement, we will be able to achieve our ESG goals for the best interest of the Company, employees and society, while contributing to future sustainable development.
Lastly, we would like to wish you all good health and prosperity for 2022.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Grape King Bio Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying parent company only financial statements of Grape King Bio Ltd. (the "Company"), which comprise the parent company only balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the parent company only statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years ended then ended, and the notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the "parent company only financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of the Company as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the 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 have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
The key audit matter of the Company's parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 is described as follows:
Valuation of Inventory
The products of the Company mainly include health foods and beverages. Such products have shelf-lives and are sold in a highly competitive consumer market, resulting in greater exposure to risk of loss on inventory due to damage or expiration. The estimation for loss on inventory is based on market conditions, historical sales experience of similar products, and the net realizable value of
inventory. Refer to Notes 4, 5, and 11 to the parent company only financial statements for the details on the valuation of inventory. The net carrying amount of inventory as of December 31, 2021 for the Company amounted to NT\$568,177 thousand, which was significant to the parent company only financial statements, and the criteria to determine loss on inventory vary according to different categories of inventories which require critical accounting estimates. Consequently, the valuation of inventory was identified as a key audit matter.
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:
-
- We understood the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the key controls over the valuation of inventory;
-
- We understood and assessed the reasonableness of inventory valuation policy and estimates used by the management;
-
- We performed an observation on the Company's annual physical count of inventory to assess for any indications of damaged or expired inventories not listed in the allowance for inventory loss:
-
- We sampled and recalculated the accuracy of net realizable value of inventory as well as performed calculations of the validity period from the year-end subsidiary ledgers and aging report of inventories, to verify that the allowance for inventory loss was appropriately recognized based on the about policy.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations 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.
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, 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 the audit committees, are responsible for overseeing the Company's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only 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 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 inthe aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these parent company only financial statements.
Á
As part of an audit in accordance with 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 parent company only 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 parent company only 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 parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
- Obtain sufficient appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the Company audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
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 parent company only 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 Yu Feng Huang and Ming Yuan Chung.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS' REPORT
The Board of Directors and Shareholders Grape King Bio Ltd.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Grape King Bio Ltd. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the "Group"), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, 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 (collectively referred to as the "consolidated financial statements").
In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC Interpretations (SIC) endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China.
Basis for Opinion
We conducted our audits in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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 matter of the Group's consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 is stated as follows:
Valuation of Inventory
The products of the Group mainly include health foods and beverages. Such products have shelf-lives and are sold in a highly competitive consumer market, resulting in greater exposure to risk of loss on inventory due to damage or expiration. The estimation for loss on inventory is based on market conditions, historical sales experience of similar products, and the net realizable value of inventory. Refer to Notes 4, 5, and 11 to the consolidated financial statements for the details on the valuation of inventory. The net carrying amount of inventory as of December 31, 2021 for the Group amounted to NT\$719,257 thousand, which was significant to the consolidated financial statements, and the criteria to determine loss on inventory vary according to different categories of inventories which require critical accounting estimates. Consequently, the valuation of inventory was identified as a key audit matter.
Our key audit procedures performed in respect of the above area included the following:
-
- We understood and tested the design and tested the operating effectiveness of the key controls over the valuation of inventory;
-
- We understood and assessed the reasonableness of inventory valuation policy and estimates used by the management;
-
- We performed an observation on the Group's annual physical count of inventory to assess for any indications of damaged or expired inventories not listed in the allowance for inventory loss;
-
- We sampled and recalculated the accuracy of net realizable value of inventory as well as performed calculations of the validity period from the year-end subsidiary ledgers and aging report of inventories, to verify that the allowance for inventory loss was appropriately recognized based on the policy.
Other Matter
We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Grape King Bio Ltd. as of and for the years ended December 31, 2021 and 2020 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 IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group'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 Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit committees, are responsible for overseeing the Group's financial reporting process.
Auditors' Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated 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 consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
- 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 Group'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 Group'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 Group 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 entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
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, 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 Yu Feng Huang and Ming Yuan Chung.
