1. Letter to Shareholders

Dear Shareholders, Ladies and Gentlemen,

Looking back at 2025, the global food industry has moved forward steadily despite the challenges of a changing political and economic landscape, fluctuations in exchange rates and raw material prices, and the rapid transformation of the consumer market structure. In light of the challenging environment, Standard Foods Group has been reviewing its business performance with a “pragmatic and steady” approach and continues to optimize its operating structure and resource allocation for sustainable growth based on its long-term vision. Despite the impact of external factors on short-term revenue and profitability performance, we remain committed to our core value of “health and nutrition,” deepening product innovation and focusing on high value-added product categories and key channels. Simultaneously, we strengthen corporate health and improve profit quality through rigorous cost control, operational efficiency improvements, and capital allocation discipline.

Looking to the future, the Group will continue to refine its core competitiveness and actively expand into emerging markets to sustain its growth momentum. Faced with the challenges and opportunities brought about by increasing consumer health awareness and demographic changes, Standard Foods is accelerating its transformation from a traditional “food manufacturer” into a provider of holistic, all-age nutritional health solutions and a builder of health ecosystems, based on data insights and centered on health value. We believe that this strategic transformation will create more resilient and sustainable long-term value for shareholders, society and all stakeholders.

In the Taiwan market, as the population ages and health awareness grows, overall demand continues to increase for comprehensive food and beverages, special nutritional foods, and dietary nutritional supplements that offer convenience, nutrition, and health benefits. Standard Foods will focus on establishing itself as a “health and nutrition expert,” systematically building a product portfolio centered on “all-age nutrition” tailored to different age groups and lifestyles. The Company will continue to drive health upgrades across various product categories, as well as develop high value-added special functional diets and supplements. Moreover, Standard Foods will strengthen product and supply chain competitiveness through collaboration with top international raw material partners, and enhance consumer trust via scientific research and development and clinical validation, in order to consolidate its market leadership position in Taiwan.

In the China market, we have adopted a dual-track strategic layout. Facing the temporary challenges of rising edible crude oil costs, the Standard Foods China Oils Segment has actively balanced cost pressures through product structure optimization, process technology improvement, and channel expense control. Furthermore, the Segment continues to build trust with consumers by offering high-end and diversified oil varieties. In addition, we are actively exploring upstream value chain integration opportunities to ensure a stable raw material supply and have begun to build a “plant-oil circular economy” to establish differentiated technological barriers.

Under China’s “15-5” plan, “nutrition intervention” has been clearly identified as a core preventive health measure, creating strong policy support and market opportunities for specialized medical nutrition products amid rapid growth in ageing and chronic-disease management needs. In September 2025, the company obtained approval for China’s first special medical nutrition product for diabetes and in November issued the country’s first prescription for a diabetes-related special medical food, establishing a significant competitive moat in medical nutrition. By partnering with top-tier (Class III Grade A) hospitals to build a trusted clinical nutrition system, the company is developing full-scenario nutrition solutions that extend from hospitals to communities, deepening its professional positioning in disease management and medical nutrition.

In international markets, the health and wellness industry across Southeast Asia is entering a golden period of development, driven by the rapid expansion of the middle class, favorable demographic trends, and rising health awareness. Policies of many countries are shifting their focus from a


"treatment-oriented" models toward "prevention, nutrition, and health promotion," which aligns closely with Standard Foods' long-held core values. The Company has therefore focused on three key strategic pillars: establishing a trusted consumer ecosystem through strategic investments in international brands and professional research institutions; leveraging data-driven marketing to precisely target and acquire customers; and strengthening value chain integration to build competitive barriers, thereby laying a solid foundation for medium- to long-term growth in regional markets.

As we approach 2026, Standard Foods Group will celebrate its 40th anniversary. The Company continues to position itself as a "every family's nutrition and health partner" by integrating innovative research and development, brand management, and sustainable governance to steadily promote health and nutrition alongside corporate growth. The Group fully integrates environmental, social, and corporate governance factors into its operations and decision-making. By introducing international sustainability standards, we promote responsible sourcing, energy saving, carbon reduction, and friendly workplaces. Furthermore, we have strengthened supply chain resilience and risk management to become one of the benchmarks for sustainability in Taiwan's food industry. To further enhance brand value and consumer trust, the Group has established the "Health and Nutrition Research Center" to integrate cross-disciplinary expertise and link stakeholders from the industry, government, academia, medical research, and social sectors. Efforts are made to promote precision nutrition and build an Asian health ecosystem to deepen health and nutrition education and trust relationships for all-age groups. Amid a rapidly evolving market environment and the "silent consumption" trend arising from the K-shaped economy, Standard Foods will continue to stay attuned to consumer needs and deepen brand trust, creating sustainable value for both shareholders and society through prudent management, while moving together toward a more resilient and prosperous future.

I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all shareholders of Standard Foods Group for their long-term support.

We hereby outline 2025 consolidated operating results and 2026 business plan as follows:

2025 Consolidated Business Results

  1. Consolidated Revenue and Profit
    Unit: NT$1,000
Item 2025 % 2024 % +/- %
Operating Revenue 27,872,203 100 28,973,692 100 -3.8
Operating Costs 21,012,996 75 21,815,207 75 -3.7
Gross Profit 6,859,207 25 7,158,485 25 -4.2
Operating Income 1,315,245 5 1,910,589 7 -31.2
Profit before Income Tax 1,592,348 5 2,291,608 8 -30.5
Net Profit 1,233,136 4 1,802,906 6 -31.6
Total Comprehensive Income 1,440,850 5 2,239,169 8 -35.7

In 2025, Standard Food Group reported consolidated revenue of NT$27.872 billion, marking a 3.8% decrease from the prior year—a decline of NT$1.101 billion. The standalone revenue came in at NT$12.188 billion, down 1.6% year-over-year, declining NT$196 million. Total comprehensive income came in at NT$1.44 billion, marking a 35.7% decrease from the prior year, —a decline of NT$798 million. Of this, comprehensive income attributable to the company's owners totaled NT$1.417 billion, representing a 34.6% decline and a decrease of NT$751 million compared to the prior year.

The profit decline this year was mainly attributable to a more conservative consumer environment in China and rising crude sunflower oil costs. The management team has initiated structural optimization measures to mitigate the impact on profits through product mix adjustments, improved process efficiency and stringent expense control. These efforts will also lay the foundation for profit recovery and long-term competitiveness in 2026.

  1. Research and Development

“Protecting every family's nutrition and health” has always been at the core of product R&D of Standard Foods. The Standard Foods R&D team is built on the belief that “great nutrition is rooted in science and grows through innovation.” integrating cross-disciplinary professional teams and striving to provide families with nutritionally balanced, healthy, and convenient diverse options. In 2025, the Company invested NT$189 million in R&D expenditure to continue strengthening R&D capabilities, promoting product innovation, and optimizing the processes and formulations of existing products to solidify long-term competitiveness.

In terms of R&D achievements, we have continued to receive recognition from domestic and foreign authoritative institutions, accumulating 103+ patented technologies, 44 health food approval labels, and 47+ certifications for foods for special medical purposes, demonstrating the Company’s professional strength in the field of health nutrition and functional foods. We have led the industry in the development of elder-friendly and soft-textured care foods in response to the trend of an aging society, and have obtained 10 product certification labels, demonstrating our commitment to providing seniors with delicious, safe, and nutritious dietary choices. At the same time, the Company is systematically building a differentiated R&D approach centered on “starting with health needs – enhancing balanced nutrition – precise product matching,” to strengthen integration capabilities from market insights to product launch. By doing this, we ensure that the product strategy for each market precisely responds to the specific health needs of local consumer groups.

2026 Business Plan and Future Development Strategies

  1. Business Directions

(1) At the same time, we are committed to enhancing corporate brand value and promoting sustainable operations by responding to the trends of declining birthrates and an aging society, while accurately understanding consumer nutritional needs. We will focus on developing diverse nutritional foods and health supplements with scientific validation through innovative technology, while enhancing brand value through product differentiation. In the face of raw material price fluctuations, changes in channel gross profit structure, and increasing market competition, we will adhere to the Group’s core operating principles – stable growth, profitability priority, and optimized structure. On the premise of ensuring financial stability and good corporate governance, we promote environmental friendliness alongside health and nutrition to enhance long-term competitiveness and corporate resilience, and create sustainable corporate value.

(2) We will strive to strengthen the resilience and transparency of value chain management, enhance overall risk adaptation capabilities, and solidify consumer trust through rigorous quality and cost control, as well as improved supply chain flexibility. Simultaneously, we will focus on high value-added products and key channels to optimize the profit structure, prudently promote capital investment and supply chain integration, and gradually expand into overseas markets and emerging businesses with growth potential. In doing so, we aim to elevate our overall operational resilience and long-term competitiveness.

(3) At Standard Foods Group, we systematically promote the talent development program, aligning it with corporate development needs. By leveraging cross-disciplinary training, digital technology applications, and cultural heritage, we will build diverse learning and development mechanisms to improve organizational agility and response capability. This will ensure stable operations in a changing environment, continuously strengthen innovation momentum, and collaboratively create a more competitive future.

  1. Expected sales volume and important production and sales policies

The estimated consolidated sales volume in 2026 is projected at 400,896 metric tons. Based on this forecast, the company’s forthcoming production and sales policies will focus on the following strategic priorities:


(1) Production

A. In line with the Group’s development plan, we continue to promote R&D innovation, capital investment, production scheduling optimization, and process technology improvement to enhance manufacturing flexibility and operational efficiency. Simultaneously, we ensure consistent product quality and effectively respond to market and customer needs to support revenue growth and profit expansion. We strengthen value chain management by carefully selecting a diverse supplier base and deepening strategic collaboration with key suppliers and customers. This approach helps build a transparent and resilient supply system, mitigating the risks of raw material price volatility and supply disruptions, enhancing overall supply chain efficiency, and stabilizing gross margins and operating performance.

B. Upholding its core responsibility for product safety and quality, the company enforces stringent traceability systems and quality policies, maintaining tight control over production processes to ensure compliance with the highest food safety standards. The goal is to deliver products that are not only safe and effective, but also convenient and of consistently high quality. In addition, the company is continually optimizing equipment efficiency, driving energy conservation, carbon reduction, and greenhouse gas emissions mitigation as part of its ongoing commitment to sustainability.

(2) Sales

A. By staying attuned to market trends and listening closely to consumer needs, the company integrates natural nutrition into its product offerings. It continues to expand its range of health supplements targeting specific nutritional requirements, as well as balanced dietary supplements, aiming to meet the diverse needs of different consumer segments. The goal is to become a trusted "nutritional health partner" for more families.

B. Standard Foods China Oils Segment has continued to adapt to changes in channel structure, expand its sales outlets, and acquire new customers. By offering a diversified product portfolio of oil varieties, the segment provides comprehensive, healthy dietary solutions, optimizing its product structure to enhance overall profitability.

C. Through digital transformation and strategic partnerships, the company is gaining precise insights into market dynamics and consumer behavior. We integrate online-offline omnichannel marketing strategies, amplify brand synergy with major channel partners, increase product visibility, market penetration rate, and market share, drive revenue growth, and consolidate market leadership position.

D. Leverage the official website, Health GO sales platform, social media engagement, and diverse partnership channels to strengthen direct communication with consumers. Real-time product information and health solutions will be provided to create a convenient and personalized one-stop shopping and service experience, while continuing to accumulate data insights, enhancing brand influence and customer loyalty.

Impact of External Competitive Environment, Legal Environment, and Overall Business Environment

  1. External competitive environment

The international supply chain is accelerating its restructuring due to geopolitical changes, trade policy adjustments, and the supply chain regionalization trend. Intensifying fluctuations in raw material prices and logistics costs, coupled with increasing market competition intensity, are catalyzing structural risks in the food industry. As international brands, emerging brands, and private label brands continue to enter the market, price competition is intensifying and the threshold for product differentiation is rising. In addition to continuing to implement high-standard production and strict quality control, Standard Foods has also proactively adjusted its product portfolio and increased the proportion of high value-added products sales to reduce the impact of simple price competition on the overall profit structure. The management team monitors core


indicators – gross profit margin, operating net profit margin, market share, and changes in the product portfolio – to dynamically assess the potential impact of competitive risks on medium-to-long-term profitability, ensuring stable and sustainable operating performance.

  1. Regulatory environment

As regulatory requirements for food safety, product labeling, supply chain transparency, and environmental sustainability continue to rise, ESG has evolved from a compliance issue to a key factor influencing corporate cost of capital and market valuation. As a “every family's nutrition and health partner,” Standard Foods Group adheres to government food safety regulations and employs high-standard quality control to fully deliver on its commitment to consumer food safety. Climate- and sustainability-related risks are gradually being incorporated into operational decisions and investment evaluation processes. Energy saving and carbon reduction, eco-friendly packaging materials, and supply chain traceability management are continuously promoted to strengthen operational resilience and risk management capabilities. The relevant measures may increase some compliance and operating costs in the short term. However, in the mid- and long-term, they will help to reduce regulatory and operational disruption risks, enhance brand trust and pricing power, stabilize cash flow and profit structure, and ultimately have a positive impact on overall corporate value and long-term shareholder returns.

  1. Overall business environment

The global economy is expected to maintain moderate growth in 2026. Nevertheless, geopolitical factors, trade policy adjustments, monetary policy directions, and climate change continue to create uncertainty, leading to divergent performance across regions and industries. Market sensitivity to prices, values, and brand trust remains high. In response to changes in the external operating environment, the Group adheres to the core philosophy of sustainable operations. While ensuring financial stability and corporate governance, we continue to strengthen cost and capital allocation discipline, promote product portfolio diversification, and actively expand international markets. At the same time, we enhance operational and value chain resilience through digital technology empowerment to reduce the impact of raw material price fluctuations and economic cycles on our operations. These approaches will ensure stable operations and create sustainable long-term returns for shareholders, while collaboratively building a healthier and more sustainable future.

Health and nutrition remain at the heart of Standard Foods as we continue to support everyone to be a Sustainability Creator.

“A Lifetime of Well-being!”

VII. Other important information to facilitate understanding of the promotion of sustainable development operations:1. Public Welfare ProjectAs the leading brand of nutritious and health food in Taiwan, the Company, focusing on nutrition as the core, is committed to staying with each civilian and identifies health as a sustainable development goal, in order to build a “good” state and promote the sustainable development of the overall society. In the face of the two major sustainable risks, namely “super-aging” and “few childbirth rate” in Taiwan, the Company has launched the two major sustainable actions, “caring for the elderly” and “caring for the young children,” to support nutrition requirements and nutrition health education and to link the vertical and horizontal powers of diverse stakeholders to establish a sustainable ecological circle with good status.(1) Nutrition Project for ChildrenStandard Foods Group has been focusing on the calcium deficiency issue among children from 2020 to 2022. Based on this, we initiated the “Calcium with Love” three-year welfare activity, inviting children of rural areas to take part in painting competitions at schools, which are voted by consumers online. Anyone purchasing Fresh Delight milk also made a contribution to collecting milk for children in rural areas. Eventually, Standard Foods Group achieved the goal for donating millions of bottles of milk in three years.Starting in 2023, the Company upgraded its program based on its core business competency—“Comprehensive Nutrition Care.” By integrating the wide range of products of the Standard Foods Group and engaging various stakeholders, the Company called on the public

to pay attention to the issue of the broken chain of nutrition for children in rural areas during the summer and launched the “Calcium with Love” children nutrition education program. Starting from 2024, the program was further expanded. For the first time, a “Nutrition Education Camp” and a “Lesson Plan Competition” were organized for economically disadvantaged children in rural areas. The former incorporated the integration of moral, intellectual, physical, social, and aesthetic education (Five Educations), while the latter focused on elementary school students developing learning-appropriate content on nutrition and health communication. A total of 40 lesson plans were submitted. At the same time, the “Nutrition Education Box,” designed to provide nutritional support for students, continued to be implemented. In fiscal year 2025, a total of 4,406 boxes were donated to rural primary schools, the Boyo Social Welfare Foundation, and the Mustard Seed Mission as nutritional support for disadvantaged children. In terms of promoting nutrition education, the “Nutrition Knowledge Panel” and “Nutrition Education Manual” were prepared, and a total of 9,480 copies were provided to primary schools in rural areas, social welfare groups, the Nutrition Education Camp, and the Lesson Plan Competition for use as nutritional teaching tools. This effort has comprehensively enhanced schoolchildren’s nutrition and health literacy. Tutoring teachers are the most important companions for children in rural areas. In 2025, we continued to partner with Boyo Social Welfare Foundation to organize “tutoring teacher workshop” at 17 local centers and outreach centers, and also provided material support through “Nutrition Education Box.” It is estimated that the Boyo tutoring system has been able to provide nutrition education for 2,000 children each year, helping economically disadvantaged children with their nutrition and health after-school care. (2) Nutrition Project for the Elderly Standard Foods Group has long been concerned about elderly nutrition issues and continued to promote “senior nutrition education” as a sustainable initiative in 2025. The Group has collaborated with community nutrition promotion centers of local government health bureaus, experts from TMU, Tzu Chi, and Chang Gung, as well as organizations including the Alliance of Taiwan Foodbanks, Hondao Senior Citizen’s Welfare Foundation, Old Five Old Foundation, and Mennonite Social Welfare Foundation. Through nutrition education, community cooperation, and cross-border resource integration, Standard Foods Group has assisted the elderly in maintaining a healthy lifestyle and social participation, building a “Well-Being” senior-friendly Taiwan. The Company has been promoting nutrition education for older adults through three major sustainable action strategies. First, community education was strengthened through “nutrition training programs.” In fiscal year 2025, 87 courses were conducted, and 20,000 copies of “nutrition education boards” were distributed. The course content covered topics such as balanced diets, muscle health and nutrition, and

marathon and sports nutrition. The programs were delivered by professional nutritionists and chefs, and included physical assessments, enabling older adults to acquire nutrition knowledge through hands-on practice and interaction, and apply it in their daily lives. At the same time, the Company responded to the needs of middle-aged and older populations by participating in the “World Masters Games 2025 Taipei & New Taipei City” to promote sports nutrition concepts and further expand the impact of health education. The second initiative is to upgrade the “Standard Foods Nutritious and Delicious Rotating Menu.” We collaborated with nutritionists and chefs to develop a 35-day senior nutrition meal plan comprising 105 meals, and have continued to optimize the recipes by incorporating nutritional recommendations for daily cooking as well as pre- and post-exercise nutrition. Currently, this rotating menu has been implemented at over 900 community meal sites across Taiwan, and a corresponding online version of healthy recipes was simultaneously released. This allows families and caregivers to prepare nutritionally balanced meals at home for seniors. To date, the recipes have received over 35,000 views. The third initiative involved collaboration with the Hondao Senior Citizen’s Welfare Foundation to launch a limited-time “Bright Future Set Meal” at its “Bulao Eatery” restaurant. The menu features oatmeal, oils, grain rice, ginseng chicken essence, and Greek yogurt to create senior-friendly cuisine that is both nutritious and delicious. This aims to encourage the elderly to maintain their physical and mental health through diet and social activities. In addition, Standard Foods has continued the “Nutrition Supply Box” initiative, donating 7,521 boxes of nutritional supplies to more than 2,500 households across over 15 counties and cities. The initiative has also been opened to consumers for co-purchase and donation, enabling nutritional support to be integrated into the daily lives of disadvantaged older adults.
  1. Public Welfare Donations
    We not only provide in-depth care for children and the elderly through charity projects, but also support various charity organizations for a long time by donating materials from time to time.

4. Describe how climate risk identification, assessment, and management processes are integrated into the overall risk management system. The Company's risk management includes “strategy,” “operation,” “finance,” “environment,” and “legislation.” Through the participation of the Board of Directors and senior management, the Company supports and establishes a risk management unit, and builds a sound risk management framework. Each business unit integrates various strategies related to climate change risks specified by the Sustainable Development Committee based on the duties it is in charge of and considering various risks that might affect achievement of the corporate goal. Each business unit identifies, evaluates, and builds a comprehensive climate management procedure, including identification, assessment, management, recovery, adaptation and other steps, and executes continuous monitoring. The risk management promotion team compiles the risk information provided by each unit, issues risk management reports to the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors every year and establishes a dynamic management and reporting mechanism to supervise the effective implementation of risk management. By integrating risk management into operating activities and daily management processes, the Company shapes a comprehensive corporate risk management culture to achieve corporate goals, improve management efficiency, and provide and effectively allocate resources.
5. If a scenario analysis is used to assess the resilience to climate change risks, the scenarios, parameters, assumptions, analysis factors, and main financial impacts used shall be described. The Company has evaluated the impact of climate disasters that may occur at 2.4°C to 4.4°C based on the RCP climate scenario it selected and then simulated climate scenarios as RCP2.6–RCP8.5 based on the “TCCIP” (https://tccip.ncdr.nat.gov.tw/), the “3D Disaster Potential Map” (https://dmap.ncdr.nat.gov.tw/1109/map/), and other public climate model/chart websites. It is estimated that the average and maximum daily rainfall increase at the end of the century did not exceed the disaster-causing standard of the “3D Disaster Potential Map”: 650 mm of rainfall in 24 hours. Therefore, the Company has no immediate flood risk. But there are still typhoons and other natural disasters that may cause line stoppage, transportation difficulties, supply chain interruption, and personnel absenteeism.The Company estimates the financial impact of future electricity costs according to the Nationally Determined Contributions (NDCs) of the Paris Agreement and relevant domestic laws and regulations (such as the “Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Act” and the “Renewable Energy Development Act”). Under the target of reducing GHG emissions by 50% from the business-as-usual (BAU) scenario by 2030, Taiwan’s renewable energy share is planned to increase from 5.6% in 2019 to 40% by 2030, as outlined in the national energy policy.The Ministry of Economic Affairs held the “Electricity Charge Review Committee” meeting for 1H of 2025 on March 22, 2025. Considering changes in international tariffs and geopolitical risks, which raised concerns about potential fluctuations in the international economy and prices, the members of the Electricity Tariff Review Committee carefully considered the impact of electricity prices on inflation and resolved not to adjust them. In the second half of 2025, the Review Committee determined that electricity prices still did not reflect costs and that

Taipower Company was experiencing a substantial deficit, so electricity prices needed to be adjusted appropriately. Since the industrial electricity price adequately reflects the cost, but the residential electricity price has long been lower than the power supply cost, the Review Committee resolved to maintain the existing industry support measures without adjusting the industrial electricity price. The residential electricity price was adjusted slightly tier by tier, using the unit price for each tier, to make it more reasonable, resulting in an average electricity charge adjustment of 0.71%. Standard Foods Group is classified as a livelihood-related facility and calculated on an aggregated basis; the total amount of purchased electricity in 2025 was 650.1519 kWh, resulting in the increase in the electricity bill by NT$650,152 from 2024. Based on the analysis of this xscenario, in the long run, Taiwan's electricity charges will continue to rise based on such range. For the possible impact posed by the purchased electricity, the Company will continue to implement various energy-saving measures to reduce the impact of the electricity consumption costs.
6. If there is a transformation plan in place to manage climate-related risks, specify the content of the plan, and the indicators and targets used to identify and manage physical risks and transformation risks. The company has taken the potential impact of climate change into consideration for overall operations. This is to estimate the probability of risk occurrence and the degree of impact. The goal is to formulate a risk response and mitigation plan and identify physical and transformation risks and opportunities based on business type, risk strategy, and financial planning status. Scenario simulation (physical risk: RCP 2.6, RCP 8.5, transition risk: NDCs, domestic regulations) will be conducted for possible future climate financial impact. Prospective and positive climate actions will be planned, and risk response and mitigation measures will be formulated. Crisis management mechanisms have been developed, such as promoting green energy and environmental protection policies, transforming supply chains to low-carbon manufacturing, expanding the use of renewable energy, and developing innovative carbon reduction technologies. These measures will comprehensively reduce the carbon footprint of corporate operations, product production, and sales. In response to global climate change and the greenhouse effect on the environment, the Company has formulated energy-saving and carbon reduction measures, promoted energy-saving management in offices and public areas, reduced waste, implemented green procurement, purchased products with energy-saving and green labels, and truly fulfilled energy saving and carbon reduction according to government regulations. Please refer to the description of item (2) for the main short, mid, and long-term risks and opportunities of the Company.

1-1-2 Greenhouse gas assurance information

The Company has implemented the methodology under the GHG Protocol to establish the Group’s GHG Inventory Procedures, which were approved by the General Manager and issued accordingly. The Company has also conducted its first inspection on the four main fields in 2022 in accordance with the Procedures, and increased its inspections of six business locations in Taiwan in 2023. Based on the operational control and management principles, the fields were attributed to the Company’s headquarters in Taipei. As the organizational boundaries are adjusted, the first year after the boundary adjustment is used as the base year (2023) for the GHG inventory. The base year setting is amended in response to the government policy, and the amendment is published upon approval of the President. The scope of inventory covers the Taipei Headquarters of the Group and six business locations, the Dayuan Plant (including the dormitory) and the Zhongli Plant of Standard Foods Corporation, as well as the Hukou Plant of Standard Dairy Products Taiwan Limited. In 2026, the Company will continue to perform an inventory of GHG emissions for the entire field in Taiwan and its subsidiaries in China for 2025. The Company also plans to complete the assurance audit by Deloitte Taiwan and conduct GHG emission assurance for Scope 1, Scope 2, and Scope 3 emissions. Verification is expected to be completed in June 2026, with a GHG assurance statement obtained.

The Company’s GHG emissions in 2025 are described as follows: 16,635.7661 metric tons for Scope 1; 23,576.3195 metric tons for Scope 2; and 549,131.7304 metric tons for Scope 3, totaling 589,343.8160 metric tons. Compared to 2024, Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions increased in 2025, primarily due to the inclusion of domestic and international subsidiaries in the scope of inventory. However, emission intensity remained consistent when comparing the parent company and Taiwan operational sites. Scope 3 emissions increased compared to the previous year, primarily due to added upstream transportation and distribution of goods, as well as the more comprehensive inclusion of emission sources related to purchased goods. This demonstrates Standard Foods Group’s continued commitment to GHG management through a more comprehensive inventory of various emission sources, providing a foundation for developing reduction strategies and implementing improvement measures.

1-2 Greenhouse gas reduction goals, strategies, and concrete action plans

(1) Short-term plan:

  • In 2025, Standard Foods Group completed the greenhouse gas emissions inventory and assurance for its four major sites in Taiwan, six business locations across Taiwan, and its subsidiaries in China.
  • From 2026 to 2027, the Group will continue to complete the full inventory of the Group’s greenhouse gas emissions (including its subsidiaries) in accordance with ISO 14064-1 and set the Group’s long-term carbon reduction target.
  • Introduce the CDP Carbon Disclosure Project.
  • Implement proposal improvement projects and conduct carbon emission control for carbon emission hotspots to effectively reduce carbon emissions.

(2) Mid- and long-term plan:

  • From 2028 to 2030, the full assurance of the Group’s greenhouse gas (including its subsidiaries) has been completed.

87


  • By 2028, Standard Foods Group in Taiwan will reduce carbon emissions by 5%. (based on 2023, unit: metric tons/NTD 1 million of revenue).
  • By 2030, Standard Foods Group in Taiwan will reduce carbon intensity by 10%. (2023 as the base year, unit: metric tons/NT$ million).
  • Use green building materials, expand greening around the plant, adopt gravity transportation to reduce power consumption, and plan efficient public equipment.
  • Adopt the SBTi Science-Based Carbon Reduction Targets initiative to advance carbon reduction intensity scientifically.

Note 1: Scope of inventory data coverage in 2025: The Standard Foods Group in Taiwan, including its four major sites and six business offices, as well as its subsidiaries in China, Domex Technology Corporation (Taiwan), and Dermalab S.A. (Switzerland).

Scope of inventory data coverage in 2024: The Standard Foods Group in Taiwan, including its four major sites and six business offices.

4.1.2 Industry Overview:

  1. Current State and Development of the Industry

In 2025, Taiwan’s domestic economy grew amidst a volatile international political and economic landscape, fluctuating exchange rates and raw material prices, and persistent inflation. Overall economic growth was supported by strong exports from the high-tech industry and the restructuring of the global supply chain. The Directorate General of Budget, Accounting, and Statistics estimated that the annual economic growth rate reached 8.63%, the highest in 15 years. However, growth momentum was primarily concentrated in the technology industry, while the consumer goods industry continued to face relatively strong pressure. Despite the stable long-term demand in the food industry, short-term caution is still needed to address economic conditions and cost fluctuations.

With increasing health awareness among Taiwanese people, the demand for healthy foods continues to grow. Consumers have shifted from a focus on “deliciousness” to high value-added products that are “nutritious, convenient, and functional,” including protein supplementation, muscle and joint health, intestinal and eye health functions, and functional beverages. Meanwhile, the aging trend has driven growth in demand for senior nutrition, specialized nutrition, and medical nutrition products, and nutrition for all ages and personalized nutrition have also gradually become key areas of industry development.

Overall, despite challenges including market structure transformation, rising costs, and intensifying competition, the industry benefited from growing demand for a healthy lifestyle and maintained stable growth momentum through product upgrading, diversified deployment, and business model innovation. However, geopolitical risks, trade policy changes, and raw material price fluctuations continued to affect the supply chain and costs, posing a challenge to the gross profit structure. In the future, companies must continue to promote the development of high value-added products, strengthen sustainability and supply chain resilience, and expand into diversified markets to enhance brand value and long-term competitive advantages.

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

A. Upstream: agriculture, animal husbandry, food packaging materials industry, biotechnology raw materials, etc.
B. Midstream: R&D, food manufacturing, drink manufacturing, inspection, Processing, etc.
C. Downstream: transportation, storage, sales channels, platforms, etc.


  1. Trends in the development of various products

A. With increasing health awareness and demographic shifts, nutritional and healthy foods have been evolving toward greater diversification and a focus on functionality, and demand for all-age nutritional products continues to grow. Products that combine nutrition, function, and convenience, have gradually become mainstream to meet the diverse usage scenarios of modern consumers.

B. Taiwan has already entered a super-aged society, and the demand for senior nutrition has increased significantly, including protein supplementation, muscle strength maintenance, joint and gut health, and other related areas. Products that are professional, easy to consume, and functional can better address the aging population's needs for healthy aging and a LOHAS lifestyle.

C. Data analytics and AI technology application are becoming key drivers of product innovation and upgrades. Personalized and precision nutrition products are gradually becoming a market trend, offering high value-added functional products that meet the needs of different consumer groups through research and development in advanced food technology.

D. Sustainable development has become core to business operations. Driven by regulatory requirements and stakeholder interest, companies are continuously advancing ESG management, steering product development and supply chain management toward environmental sustainability through carbon reduction, plastic reduction, green packaging, and sustainable procurement. This also strengthens the brand image and consumer trust.

  1. Competitive situation

A. The scale of the domestic nutritional health food market is relatively limited, and brand competition focuses on product differentiation, precision segmentation, and sustainable development. With the increasingly aging population, senior nutrition and high value-added products have become the focus of competition. Amidst increasing product homogeneity, businesses must create market segments through functional upgrades, quality improvement, and brand management to increase consumer stickiness.

B. AI and digital technology have become key to industry competition. Through data analytics and digital tools, companies can improve operational efficiency, optimize cost structure, and accelerate market response, while strengthening precision marketing and product differentiation capabilities – all of which have become an important foundation for establishing long-term competitive advantage.

C. As market demand grows, the number of competitors continues to increase. In addition to established players and cross-industry enterprises, international and emerging brands are actively entering the market. Diversified distribution channels – including retail, e-commerce, social media, and direct selling – are developing rapidly, leading to increasingly fierce competition. Companies are required to continue investing in product innovation, brand value, and channel integration to enhance market visibility and operational advantages.

D. The uncertainty of geopolitical and international trade policies continues to affect the global supply chain, and fluctuations in raw material prices, exchange rates, and operating costs have intensified. In the future, companies must strengthen supply chain resilience, optimize cost management and diversify markets in order to improve risk response capability and long-term competitiveness.

  • Commodity Food

Grains

(1) Market share

The Company's cereal products include instant oatmeal, bagged and canned cereal, 3-in-1 Oatmeal, breakfast cereal, cereal rice, and oatmeal beverages. The Company adheres to high-standard and high-quality production processes, and has won many health food certifications. With a commitment to "delicious, nutritious, and healthy" products, the Company has long been the market leader in Taiwan's grain sector and remains a nationally trusted brand.

(2) Future market demand & supply status and growth

Taiwan's oat market has been steadily developing. With insufficient dietary fiber intake common among the population and growing health management awareness, whole grain and high-fiber cereal products have a solid foundation for long-term growth. Meanwhile, growing consumer focus on balanced carbohydrate and protein intake has driven demand for improved nutritional profiles. With a focus on whole grains, the Company has combined protein fortification and a diversified product portfolio strategy to expand usage occasions, solidify its market leadership position, and strengthen mid- and long-term growth momentum.

(3) Favorable factors and unfavorable factors of competitive niches and development prospects as well as countermeasure

Domestic consumers' increasing emphasis on balanced diets and overall health management has driven rapid expansion in the high-protein food market, while also intensifying product homogenization and price competition risk. The Company capitalized on two major trends – “everyday nutrition upgrade” and “functional demand segmentation” – and in 2025, leveraging grain nutrition as its core technological foundation, built a product portfolio designed for diverse contexts and demographics.

121


Amid the growing trend toward natural diets and functional food positioning, the Company launched new all-natural five-grains functional products, further strengthening market penetration and enhancing its product value proposition. To address the needs of sports nutrition and efficient protein supplementation, a new high-protein instant oat cereal powder combining oat protein with diverse plant proteins has successfully expanded consumption occasions and timing for protein intake. Meanwhile, in response to younger consumers' emphasis on convenience and taste experience, the "Daily Protein Cereal Crisp" was introduced to the ready-to-eat cereal market, optimizing the consumer age profile and broadening the target consumer base.

Through the above product strategies, we established a differentiated development model centered on "whole grain-based x diversified functional extension" applications, creating higher product technology barriers and a strong brand professional positioning. This continued to strengthen our brand image as "grain nutrition experts," and we maintained our market leadership position through a systematic product matrix and category upgrade strategy, expanding long-term growth momentum.

Edible oils

(1) Market share

Rooted in Taiwan, the "Great Day" brand has long been committed to promoting healthy eating for Taiwanese households. It consistently provides a full range of high-quality, nutritious edible oils for everyday cooking, including sunflower oil, olive oil, canola oil, and health-certified Five Treasures blended oil.

(2) Future market demand & supply status and growth

Consumers are increasingly focused on healthy eating, driving a greater desire to cook at home and prioritize both the quality and health benefits of their meals. As Taiwanese families evolve, the nutritional health needs and cooking styles of their members have become more diverse, driving increased use of a variety of oils. This trend has led people to pair different oils with various cooking methods to achieve a balanced intake of fatty acid compositions. In the future, the overall market is expected to place greater emphasis on pure, high-quality products and the premiumization of edible oils. A diverse range of cooking oils that support healthy diets, together with trusted and reliable brands, will continue to be favored by consumers.

(3) Favorable factors and unfavorable factors of competitive niches and development prospect as well as countermeasure

Standard Foods Group is committed to providing consumers with assurance in safety, hygiene, and quality.

122


consumer needs for healthy cooking by offering a wider selection of higher-quality edible oils.

Refrigerated Food (FreshDelight)

(1) Market share

With years of market development, the FreshDelight brand has achieved a household penetration rate of nearly 70% in Taiwan, reaching close to 6 million households and generating 43 million consumer touchpoints. FreshDelight Dairy Products offers a diverse range of high-quality dairy options to meet the nutritional needs of the whole family with a focus on health and wellness. FreshDelight yogurt has achieved the No.1 market share in its category, and functional milk from FreshDelight has consistently held a leading position in the market.

(2) Future market demand & supply status and growth

In the post-pandemic era, refrigerated dairy products, as an essential daily nutritional supplement, are still a strong category with high penetration rate in the market. However, due to the increasing popularity of nutrition knowledge and the increasing demand for health maintenance among Taiwanese consumers, the overall price of refrigerated dairy products tends to increase, and the product premium comes from two different drivers: (1) Enhanced functions (2) Natural without additives. The ability to grasp consumer demand trends, launch correspondingly high-priced new products, and strengthen brand communication will help increase brand preference, expand brand coverage, and increase brand profitability.

In addition, three product categories require special attention in future: (1) Fresh milk: Enhancing the competitiveness of domestic fresh milk by leveraging the quality advantages of localized production and operations, thereby increasing consumers' recognition of local brands. (2) Functional milk: Continuously introducing functionally enhanced milk products tailored to the needs of different consumer segments, expanding channel penetration, and effectively attracting younger users. (3) Both purchase frequency and purchase unit price have continued to increase. Among flavored yogurt products, FreshDelight remains the market leader, and in the two major categories of Greek yogurt and fresh milk yogurt, FreshDelight also achieved strong results in 2025. FreshDelight's overall performance exceeded market averages, and the brand widened its market share gap with competitors.

(3) Favorable factors and unfavorable factors of competitive niches and development prospect as well as countermeasure

FreshDelight fresh milk, functional milk, flavored milk drinks, yogurt drinks and yogurt products: Through the most advanced food technology, we preserve the richest nutritional value and carefully safeguard the health of the whole family.

Fresh milk: Milk sources are strictly managed to ensure that there are no quality and safety concerns in each process. Fresh Delight Fresh Milk is the only brand with its entire series of products (including fresh milk and ESL milk) in Taiwan to have received the ITQI Superior Taste Award for both quality and flavor, with Fresh Delight Fresh Milk in particular earning the prestigious iTQi Three-Star Award for four consecutive years, demonstrating that its quality and flavor are widely recognized.

We continue to enhance the quality of milk from Fresh Delight and increasing consumer preference for local fresh milk.

Functional milk: We explore the functional needs of young people, improve the layout of functional milk product line, provide refrigerated and shelf-life milk products, and at the same time penetrate the household market and supermarket channels.

123

  1. Cybersecurity Policy

The Company complies with regulations governing information security incidents to institutionalize and systematize the reporting, categorization, classification, handling, statistics, and follow-ups of its information security incidents. When an information security incident occurs, it shall be reported and handled in a timely manner and recovered within the shortest period of time to ensure normal operations of all business activities. Along with the resources from external information security experts, the personnel of the Information Security Maintenance and Emergency Response Team manage to be alert to information security reports and incidents so as to strengthen and speed up the mechanism for detection and response.

The cybersecurity policy is based on the following four principles:


(1) Establish cybersecurity management regulations that meet the needs of the law and customers.
(2) Achieve the consensus of cybersecurity responsibility among all employees through all staff awareness.
(3) Protect the confidentiality, integrity and availability of the Company's and customers' information.
(4) Provide the safe production environment to ensure the sustainable operation of the Company's business.

The Company aims to establish a firewall, intrusion detection, anti-virus system and many internal control systems based on the three major cybersecurity protection objectives, namely anti-virus, anti-hacking, and anti-leak, in order to enhance the Company's ability to prevent external attacks and ensure the protection of internal confidential information. The Company has implemented and established a complete cybersecurity management system (ISMS) to mitigate the corporate cybersecurity threat from the system, technology and procedure aspects, establish the cybersecurity protection environment that meets customer needs, and continuously conduct the "Plan-Do-Check-Act" (PDCA) cycle for continuous improvement.

The "Plan" focuses on information security risk management. To strengthen cybersecurity, the Company has implemented the ISO 27001 cybersecurity management system certification to enable the information system to operate in accordance with the standard management guidelines, reduce safety vulnerabilities and production abnormalities caused by human error, and make continuous improvements through annual review.

The "Do" aims to construct a multi-level cybersecurity protection mechanism, continue to implement new cybersecurity risk control technology, improve the efficiency of the detection and response handling procedures for various cybersecurity incidents with intelligent/automated mechanisms, and strengthen cybersecurity and network security protection processes to protect the Company's important assets.

The "Check" aims to regularly monitor the effectiveness of cybersecurity management indicators, and conducts penetration tests, vulnerability surveys and third-party audits every year to ensure that the Company continues to improve its cybersecurity management and defense capabilities.

The "Act" aims at review and continuous improvement. When employees and contractors violate the cybersecurity-related regulations and procedures, ensure that employees and partners comply with cybersecurity policies through education and training and implementation of regulations, and continue to conduct cybersecurity education and training for all employees to enhance information security awareness.

3. Concrete Management Program

Amend and adopt documents in compliance with the ISO27001:2022 ISMS standard and conduct inventory and risk assessment on the operation of core information security system and personal information. Introduce privileged access management, remote backup and drills, social engineering attack drills, system and website vulnerability assessment, penetration test and vulnerability patching and strengthening to the application system and the infrastructure.

In order to achieve the cybersecurity policy and goals, the Company establishes a comprehensive cybersecurity protection and implements the management matters and specific management programs as follows:

  • Enhance the cybersecurity defense ability: Regularly conduct cybersecurity system weakness scanning and penetration testing and strengthen and repair them to mitigate

136


the cybersecurity risks. Establish an Internet security incident response plan, conduct an assessment on impacts and losses based on the severity of the incident, and take corresponding notification and recovery actions.

5.6 Analysis and Evaluation of Risks in the Most Recent Year and Up to the Date of Publication of the Annual Report

5.6.1 Impact of Interest Rate and Exchange Rate Fluctuations, and Inflation on the Company's Profit and Loss, and Future Countermeasures:

  1. Interest rate

Looking back at 2025, the Central Bank maintained a hawkish stance at the beginning of the year to suppress the housing market boom, influenced by global disinflation and the Federal Reserve's path of interest rate cuts. As export recovery gained traction mid-year, the interest rate policy shifted to a neutral position. As economic growth remained robust and the domestic inflation rate stayed below 2%, the Central Bank chose to maintain the policy interest rate unchanged, resulting in a relatively stable interest rate throughout the year.

In 2025, the interest expenses of the Company as a proportion of revenue and pre-tax net profit were minimal, and the impact of interest rate changes on the Company was limited.

Looking ahead to 2026, we will continue to monitor global economic trends and interest rate movements and adjust our asset and liability positions to mitigate interest rate risk.


145

  1. Exchange rate

Looking back at the domestic exchange market in 2025. The NTD-to-USD foreign exchange rate exhibited a dramatic pattern of initial fluctuations followed by stabilization. In the first half of the year, the Central Bank adopted a wait-and-see approach in early May amid expectations of Taiwan-U.S. exchange rate negotiations and short-term foreign capital inflows. As a result, the New Taiwan dollar appreciated sharply by more than 0.9 NTD against the USD in a single trading day, shocking the market. In addition, the trade surplus driven by strong AI supply chain exports underscored the resilience of the NTD amid fluctuations in the global U.S. dollar. Following a mid-year policy shift, Taiwan and the US issued a joint statement on exchange rate policy, and the Central Bank committed to improving intervention transparency, aligning its market operations more closely with international practices. Despite ongoing geopolitical noise, the NTD closed slightly higher, supported by its fundamentals, at 31.438. The NTD appreciated 4.10% over the year, with a trading range of 28.792 to 33.274.

Given that many of our raw materials are imported, exchange rate fluctuations have a significant impact on our profitability. Recognizing the numerous factors influencing foreign exchange markets, our company has established clear foreign exchange hedging strategies and stringent risk management processes. We continuously monitor exchange rate movements and international financial conditions, adjusting our foreign exchange strategies as needed to mitigate the risks associated with exchange rate volatility.

  1. Inflation

According to the statistics of the Directorate-General of Budget. In 2025, the CPI rose by 1.66%, a decrease of 0.52 percentage points from the 2.18% recorded in 2024; the PPI fell by 1.79% in 2025, down 3.16 percentage points from 2024. This reflects that, due to tariff policies and the global economic slowdown, along with the stabilization of oil prices, international raw material prices, and the base effect, the annual CPI increase rate in 2025 successfully fell back within the Central Bank's 2% alert line, marking an end to the high inflation of the past two years. In response to the fluctuation in international raw material prices, the Company keeps track of the global market dynamics and product price trends in a timely manner, and strengthens the cooperation with suppliers, distributors and customers. Based on the flexible procurement and marketing strategies, the Company is able to optimize its cost control mechanism, promote innovation and product differentiation, increase the added value of its products, effectively enhance market responsiveness, reduce operational risks caused by inflation, and ensure its competitive advantage.

5.6.2 Policies of engaging in high-risk, high-leverage investments, giving loans to others, providing endorsements/guarantees and engaging in derivatives transactions, main reasons for the profits and losses as well as future countermeasures:

The company did not engage in high-risk, high-leverage investments or derivative transactions in 2025 up to the date of the annual report.

The company only provided loans to subsidiaries with over 50% ownership to support their working capital needs in 2025 up to the date of the annual report.

The company provided endorsements and guarantees solely for 100% owned subsidiaries to secure their financing in 2025 up to the date of the annual report.

5.6.3 Future R&D Plans and Estimated R&D Expenses:

The estimated R&D expenditure in 2026 is NT$100 million. We will invest in the development of new products, product nutritional upgrades and increased product functionality, new packaging formats, and innovative technology development.


5.6.4 Impact of Changes in Major Domestic/Overseas Policies and Regulations on the Company's Finance and Business, and Countermeasures:

As global food safety and quality management requirements continue to rise, competent authorities worldwide have strengthened regulations and management measures to meet market expectations and protect consumer rights. The Company continuously monitors domestic and foreign regulations and policy developments, and conducts a rolling review and adjustment of its internal management system based on risk assessments to ensure compliance with relevant regulations and maintain steady growth.

The Company has consistently prioritized product quality and food safety, and has deepened its supply chain management and quality monitoring mechanisms. The Company adheres to international standards and industry best practices to ensure that raw materials, processes, and finished products meet all relevant food safety requirements. Meanwhile, investment in research and development and manufacturing process optimization has allowed us to enhance product quality and nutritional performance, responding to the evolving needs of the market and consumers.

Looking ahead, the Company will continue to deepen its risk management mechanisms and regulatory compliance capabilities, constantly improve its self-management and internal control systems, and prioritize corporate social responsibility with consumers' health and trust at its core. We will steadily promote long-term brand value and sustainable operational goals.

5.6.5 Impact of Changes in Technology and Industry on Corporate Finance and Business, and Countermeasures:

The Company values the application of new technologies and continues to invest in them. This year, in addition to continuing to optimize the business APP tools, the Company also implemented an auxiliary system for annual forecasting and OEM raw material and supplies integration to assist in real-time trend analysis and response for the business and supply chain. This will improve work efficiency and realize digitization and digital optimization.

For the business APP optimization, the Company optimizes the single page layout of the questionnaire and the display of the customers' profile.

In terms of annual estimation and integration of OEM raw materials and supplies, the Company constructs the business annual estimation and assistance system. The OEM raw materials and supplies management to help the business and production management units improve their work efficiency and control various data and indicators for management.

Regarding information security management, weakness management records and the configuration management baseline for the ERP system have been deeply optimized to strengthen the information security governance framework and ensure compliance with the ISO/IEC 27001:2022 standards. At the same time, the Company plans to introduce the ISO/IEC 27701:2025 privacy information management system (PIMS) for core personal data processing procedures – such as e-commerce, membership, and marketing management – establishing comprehensive personal data protection and resilience.

5.6.6 Impact of Changes in Corporate Image on Corporate Risk Management, and Countermeasures:

The Company has long been committed to the health industry and considers "corporate reputation" to be a core intangible asset. In response to labor-management issues that drew public attention in 2025 due to differing legal interpretations regarding the basis for salary and bonus calculations, the Company's management, guided by the principles of integrity and transparency, proactively initiated a crisis management mechanism. The management team engaged in direct negotiations with union representatives, resulting in a consensus solution in August 2025 that was more favorable than the statutory requirements.

The Company views this incident as an opportunity to transform its governance system and

146


improve communication. In response to the growing expectations of stakeholders regarding labor rights under the global ESG trend, the Company has implemented the following measures to transform potential image risks into brand governance resilience:

  1. Implementing institutionalized communication: A labor-management dialogue platform was established. In 2025, several project-specific negotiation meetings were held to ensure employee concerns reached the management decision-making level, effectively reducing communication gaps.
  2. Optimization of the remuneration management system: The upgrade of the HR attendance system and the remuneration structure adjustment have been completed, with related funds allocated. This expenditure has not had a significant impact on the Company's financial structure and operating performance.
  3. Enhance governance transparency: Disclose labor-management co-prosperity achievements via sustainability reports and open platforms, and actively respond to institutional investors' high level of concern regarding "human rights due diligence."

As of the annual report publication date, the above disputes have been fully resolved. In the future, the Company will continue to deepen its "people-oriented" corporate culture and maintain its excellent image as a national health leading brand through a transparent risk prevention system.

5.6.7 Expected Benefits and Possible Risks Associated with M&A and Countermeasures: N/A.
5.6.8 Expected Benefits and Possible Risks Associated with Expanding Factory Building and Countermeasures:

The Company continues to invest in new factories, equipment and in multiple production lines to increase product diversification, increase capacity, and ensure quality assurance.

The new Dayuan plant site will be developed in three phases. Phase 1 is scheduled to commence the installation of industrial infrastructure in mid-2026, with building construction expected to be completed by the end of 2027. At the same time, production line planning and evaluation will be carried out. Phases 2 and 3 will be executed based on actual demand. This project is expected to meet production line requirements and enhance overall asset utilization efficiency.

The Zhongli plant reorganization project, one new building was completed as of December 2025, and a high-speed, sterile production line has been established and put into operation. The original UHT milk production line is being evaluated for modification and the installation of a new production line in the post-packaging area. The Hukou plant has a production site adjacent to it, which continues to be used for evaluating potential expansion.

Jiangsu Hua Sun Health Technology Co., Ltd., the subsidiary in Mainland China, plans to continue invest in product development, testing, trial production, and mass production of health foods and special nutritional foods in Taicang High Technology Development Zone based on medium- and long-term market and product development strategies.

5.6.9 Risks Resulting from Concentrated Purchasing or Sales Operations and Countermeasures:

The Company's major suppliers in 2025 were Company B and Company C, accounting for 12.0% and 10.9% of the total purchases, respectively. In addition, the main customer of sales was Company A, accounting for 15.6% of the net sales, while the remaining customers of sales did not exceed 10%. Therefore, there was no significant concentration in either purchases or sales.

6.2 Private Placement of Securities during the Most Recent Fiscal Year and the Current Fiscal Year up to the Date of Publication of the Annual Report:

None.

6.3 Other Necessary Supplements:

6.3.1 Listing method of impairment of assets and liabilities

  1. Allowance for bad debts of accounts receivable

Purpose: In order to assess the risk of collection of accounts and bills, the recovery rate of each age is obtained based on the customer's experience and the sample number, which is used to assess the impairment amount of assets in the current period.

The basis for listing:

(1) Listing of allowance for bad debts:

1.1. Accounts receivable are agreed to be collected within one year, so significant financial components are not included. IFRS 9 simplified method is adopted to recognize impairment based on lifetime expected credit losses.

1.2. The Company's customers are all companies in similar industries, and according to the historical experience of credit losses, there is no significant difference in the loss types of different customer groups. Therefore, the reservation matrix does not further distinguish the customer groups. When the accounts receivable is overdue for more than 180 days, the Company judges that the recovery cannot be reasonably expected (loss rate = 100%).

1.3. The accounting unit calculates the amount of asset impairment based on the above and adjusts the amount of the item "allowance for bad debts."

(2) Charging off allowance for bad debts:

2.1. Identification of bad debt:

A. Part or all of the claims cannot be recovered due to bankruptcy, escape, conciliation or declaration of bankruptcy, or other reasons.
B. Claims that are overdue for two years and principal or interest have not been received after collection.

2.2. Charge off:

A. In case of actual bad debt losses, legal evidence should be attached to strike a balance in accordance with Article 94 of the Code of Auditing Business


Income Tax.

B. When charging off bad debts, the allowance for bad debts should be set off in the current year. If there is any shortage, it should be listed as the loss in the current year.

  1. Allowance for reduction of inventory to market

Inventories include raw materials, packaging materials, work in process, finished products, and commodities. The value of inventory shall be determined based on the cost and Net Realizable Value (NRV), whichever is lower. With the exception of inventory of the same category, individual items shall be assessed when comparing the cost and NRV. The NRV is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less the estimated cost of completion and the estimated costs necessary to make the sale. The cost of inventory is calculated using the weighted-average method.
