Attachment III
Consolidated Financial Statements and Independent Auditors’ Report
REPORT OF INDEPENDENT ACCOUNTANTS TRANSLATED FROM CHINESE
INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT
To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of VE WONG CORPORATION
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries, which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and the consolidated statements of comprehensive income, changes in equity and cash flows for the years then ended, and the notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.
In our opinion, based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries as of December 31, 2020 and 2019, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards (IFRS), International Accounting Standards (IAS), IFRIC Interpretations (IFRIC), and SIC 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 VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries 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. Based on our audits and the reports of other independent accountants, we believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.
Key audit matters for VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 are stated as follows:
Recognize of Sales revenue
The main operating income of VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries is sales revenue. We consider that whether the recognition time of sales revenue was present fairly, is an area of high concern in the audit.
Refer to Note IV (XVIII) for accounting policies on revenue recognition. Refer to Note V (I) for critical accounting judgments and key sources of estimation uncertainty on revenue recognition. We performed the following audit procedures:
-
15 -
-
1.Understand and test the design and implementation effectiveness of the main internal control system for group operating income.
-
2.Understand and evaluate the rationality of the assumptions and methods for management to recognize sales revenue.
-
3.The selected transaction conditions are not FOB shipping point export transactions. Obtain the transaction conditions set by each customer for the export transaction, and select the period before and after the end of the reporting period to verify the export transaction vouchers to determine the appropriate deadline.
-
4.For domestic sales (delivery agent) transactions, send confirmation letter or obtain agent’s transaction reconciliation data to determine whether the deadline is appropriate and the amount.
-
5.Select the period prior to and after the end of the reporting period, to check the various vouchers to ensure that the sales, sales returns, and sales discounts have been properly closed.
-
6.Reconcile the amount of income in the account with the amount issued by the invoice, and perform tests on major differences between the reconciled items.
-
7.Perform analytical procedures to find out if there are any abnormalities in the recognition of sales revenue.
Evaluation Impairment of Goodwill
VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries regularly assess whether there are indication of impairment of goodwill. When estimating the future recoverable amount, the estimation involves a number of assumptions, including determining the discount rate and future financial forecasts. The high degree of uncertainty has a significant impact on the measurement result of the recoverable amount, which in turn affects the estimation of the amount of goodwill impairment. Therefore, we believe that VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries’s assessment on goodwill impairment are the most important matters this year.
For the accounting policy on impairment, please refer to Note IV (XIII) Impairment of asset; to the major sources of uncertainty in the significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions in the assessment of impairment of goodwill, please refer to Note V (III).
-
We performed the following audit procedures:
-
1.Understand and test the design and implementation effectiveness of the main
-
internal control system for impairment assessment.
-
2.Verify whether there are indication that goodwill impairment may occur, impairment testing and whether the accounting treatment is appropriate.
-
3.Assess the reasonableness of assumptions, future cash flow forecasts and discount rates used in impairment models.
Other – Using the reports of other independent accountants
Among the associates included in the consolidated financial statements of VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries, Hughes Biotech. Co., Ltd. which used the equity method to invest in 2020 and 2019, had its financial statements not audit by us, but was audited by other accountants. In addition, Koh Kong Sugar Industry Co., Ltd. (KSI) and Koh Kong Plantation Co., Ltd. (KPT) invested in Cambodia which used the equity method, its financial statements are in accordance with Thai Financial Reporting Standard for Non-publicly Accountable entities have not been audited by us but by other accountants. We have performed the necessary review procedures for the conversion of the financial statements of KSI and KPT into preparations in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the Republic of China. Therefore, our opinion on the financial statements that the amount and various financial disclosure information listed in the financial statements of the investee companies before the adjustment are based on the audit reports of other accountants. As of December 31, 2020 and 2019, the abovementioned three companies used the equity method to invest in 92,555 thousand NTD and 34,834 thousand NTD, respectively, accounting for 0.99% and 0.37% of the total consolidated assets. From January 1 to December 31, 2020 and 2019, the comprehensive profit and loss (including the share of the subsidiaries, associates and joint ventures recognized by the equity method) recognized by these investee companies
- 16 -
was (32,170) thousand NTD and (26,845) thousand NTD, accounting for 0.53% and 0.42% of net consolidated operating income, respectively.
VE WONG CORPORATION has prepared the parent company only financial statements for the 2020 and 2019, and the audit report with unqualified opinions issued by the accountant is on file for reference.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries’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 VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are overseeing VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the consolidated financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China will always detect a material misstatement when it exists. Misstatements can arise from fraud or error and are considered material if, individually or in the aggregate, they could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these consolidated financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries’ ability to continue as a going concern. If we
-
17 -
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 VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient, appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within VE WONG CORPORATION and its subsidiaries to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonable be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuan Chao Lin and Ming Yu Wen.

Evaluation Impairment of Investments accounted for using the equity method and Goodwill
The Company adopts the equity method of investment. When estimating the future recoverable amount, the estimation involves a number of assumptions, including determining the discount rate and adopting the prepared financial forecast for the next five years. It is prone to subjective judgment and highly advanced Uncertainty, resulting in a significant impact on the measurement of the recoverable amount, which in turn affects the estimation of the amount of goodwill impairment. Therefore, we believe that the Company assessment of the equity method of investment and goodwill impairment is the most important matters this year.
For the accounting policy on impairment, please refer to Note IV (XII) Impairment; to the major sources of uncertainty in the significant accounting judgments, estimates and assumptions in the assessment of impairment of goodwill, please refer to Note V (III). We performed the following audit procedures:
-
1.Understand and test the design and implementation effectiveness of the main internal control system for impairment assessment.
-
2.Verify whether there are any indication that the equity method of investment may be impaired, impairment testing and accounting treatment are appropriate.
-
3.Verify whether there are indication that goodwill impairment may occur, impairment testing and whether the accounting treatment is appropriate.
-
4.Assess the reasonableness of assumptions, future cash flow forecasts and discount rates used in impairment models.

Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
- 25 -
In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance (including members of the Audit Committee) are overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.
Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Parent Company Only Financial Statements
Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with 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 parent company only financial statements.
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards generally accepted in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the parent company only financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the parent company only financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Company to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the parent company only financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the parent company only financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient, appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the entities or business activities within the Company to express an opinion on the parent company only financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision and performance of the group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
-
26 -
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the parent company only financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2020 and are therefore the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our auditors’ report unless law or regulation precludes public disclosure about the matter or when, in extremely rare circumstances, we determine that a matter should not be communicated in our report because the adverse consequences of doing so would reasonable be expected to outweigh the public interest benefits of such communication.
The engagement partners on the audit resulting in this independent auditors’ report are Kuan Chao Lin and Ming Yu Wen.
