Attachment I 2021 Business Report

2021 Business Report of the Company

Dear Shareholders, ladies and gentlemen,

Amid changes in consumer behaviors and retail channels in 2021, our “one team” bring more nutritious, healthy and convenient foods to consumers, paying back for people's long-term support of the Company's products. However, the continuous impact of the novel coronavirus pandemic has made the prices of bulk raw materials and transportation soar, further affecting Standard Foods' edible oil business and the overall profit performance.

Under the firm belief of "Eating balanced is the key to staying healthy", Standard Foods adheres to food safety and integrates virtual and physical channels to provide quality products to meet the diverse needs of people, young to old, throughout the day. The Company continues to pursue sustainable development and value corporate governance, social responsibility and environmental protection to maintain consumers' and employees' satisfaction and trust and become the most trustworthy food company.

Looking forward to 2022, the world is in an era of inflation and supply chain challenges brought about by geopolitics. We still take "Every family’s nutrition and health partner" as our mission, and are committed to new product development and product upgrade with Dedication, Innovation and Love, bringing consumers high-quality products that are safe, convenient, and nutritionally balanced. Here at Standared Foods, we aspire to help everyone enjoy " a lifetime of well-being!", and make the Company sustainable.

The shareholders' trust and support for our operating team are highly appreciated.

We hereby outline 2021 consolidated operating results and 2022 business plan as follows:

I. Consolidated operating results of 2021

  • (II) Industry Overview:

  • Current State and Development of the Industry

The Director-General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics of the Executive Yuan announced that the economic growth of 2021 is 6.45%, a new high over the last 11 years, showing a significant increase in export capacity. However, the consumption in the private sector is still affected by the pandemic. The public maintains self-control and remains alert in limiting spending, so the growth is not as expected.

Since the outbreak of the pandemic, consumer behaviors have become more conservative. The people have responded to the pandemic control measures, greatly increasing home activities and the demand for related products, making the stay-at-home economy prominent. The increase in the frequency of dining at home creates business opportunities for cooking at home and accelerates the development of digital technology.

In a future environment coexisting with the pandemic, products related to pandemic control and health will continue to be popular. The home cooking opportunities brought by the stay-at-home economy will drive the growth of ready-to-eat and instant foods. The online and offline sales channels will provid ~~es~~ consumers with faster and more diverse and convenient consumption choices.

At the same time, the global supply chain is facing the challenges of shortage of raw materials, rising prices and high transportation costs, exacerbating the market's concerns about the economic impact of inflation.

  1. Correlation with up-, mid-, and downstream sections of the industry

  2. (1) Upstream: agriculture, animal husbandry, food packaging materials industry, bio-technology raw materials, etc.

  3. (2) Midstream: R&D, food manufacturing, drink manufacturing, inspection, etc.

  4. (3) Downstream: transportation, storage, sales channels and platforms, etc.

  5. Trends in the development of various products

  6. (1) Moving towards a new way of pandemic control, consumers pay more attention to the care of the body and the improvement of immunity, making health-related industries continue to flourish. Functional products with the health care appeal try to earn consumers' recognition and purchases.

  7. (2) The changes in family structure and the pandemic have resulted in new shopping patterns. Products with exquisite and compact design and offering convenience, such as ready-to-eat foods or portable health foods, will attract more small families and younger consumers.

  8. 11 -

    • (3) The growing health and eco-friendly awareness has made products with appeals such as purity, nature, little additives and eco-friendly packaging become the mainstream of consumption. We rigorously control product safety and quality, and prioritize environmental protection during the production to fulfill our responsibilities for a sustainable environment.
  9. Competitive situation

    • (1) Many food and technology companies have continued to commit resources to occupy the market of health and nutrition products. In the face of fierce competition, we try to gain insight into consumer needs, and innovate to develop effective, fast, convenient, high-quality and safe nutrition food and health products, hoping to maintain our market competitiveness.

    • (2) New types of consumption habits drive the improvement and transformation of digital technology, and we use big data analysis and flexible and effective marketing strategies to expand to new consumer segments and market niches.

    • (3) It may be difficult to ease down tension in the global supply chain in a short period of time, and rising costs and supply shortage of raw materials are important issues in the industry. We adopt risk management and flexible operations to reduce the impact of the overall environment.

Attachment III Auditor’s Report and 2021 Individual Financial Statements

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Standard Foods Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying financial statements of Standard Foods Corporation (the “Company”), which comprise the balance sheets as of December 31, 2021 and 2020, and the statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies (collectively referred to as the “financial statements”).

In our opinion, the accompanying 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 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 financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021. 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.

  • 16 -

The key audit matter identified in the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 is stated as follows:

Estimate of Return Liability

The Company mainly manufactures and sells nutrient-rich food, edible oil products, dairy products and beverages. Taking into account the current market conditions and the historical experience of its sales in the past, the Company estimates the probable amount of each product’s return liability. Refer to Notes 5 and 19 to the financial statements for detailed information related to the Company’s return liability. Because the assessment of return liability involves management’s critical accounting estimates and judgments, we considered the assessment of return liability to be a key audit matter.

The key audit procedures that we performed in respect of the estimate of return liability included the following:

  1. We obtained an understanding and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the key controls over the estimates of the return liability.

  2. We selected samples from the sales return transactions and inspected the correctness of the sales returns in the current year.

  3. We obtained the relevant reports of estimates of sales return liability, and we recalculated and reviewed that the assessment results were adequate.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the 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 financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the 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 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 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

  • 17 -

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:

  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 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 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.

  • 18 -

From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the 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 audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Tza-Li Gung and Han-Ni Fang.

Attachment IV Auditor’s Report and 2021 Consolidated Financial Statements

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

The Board of Directors and Shareholders Standard Foods Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of Standard Foods Corporation 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 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.

  • 26 -

The key audit matter identified in the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2021 is stated as follows:

Estimate of Return Liability

Standard Foods Corporation and its subsidiaries which are located in China mainly manufactures and sells nutrient-rich food, edible oil products, dairy products and beverages. Taking into account the current market conditions and the historical experience of its sales in the past, the Company estimates the probable amount of each product’s return liability. Refer to Notes 5 and 22 to the consolidated financial statements for detailed information related to return liability. Because the assessment of return liability involves management’s critical accounting estimates and judgments, we considered the assessment of return liability to be a key audit matter.

The key audit procedures that we performed in respect of the estimate of return liability included the following:

  1. We obtained an understanding and tested the design and operating effectiveness of the key controls over the estimates of the return liability.

  2. We selected samples from the sales return transactions and inspected the correctness of the sales returns in the current year.

  3. We obtained the relevant reports of estimates of sales return liability, and we recalculated and reviewed that the assessment results were adequate.

Other Matter

We have also audited the parent company only financial statements of Standard Foods Corporation 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 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, 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 committee, are responsible for overseeing the Group’s financial reporting process.

  • 27 -

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:

  1. 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.

  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 Group’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 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.

  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 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.

  • 28 -

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 audits resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Tza-Li Gung and Han-Ni Fang.
