  • After the lawsuits related to the Company’s oil products, which has affected consumers' willingness to purchase, how can we create a favorable image for the company?

  • The Company should carefully consider the use of intellectual property by its mainland subsidiary without payment to the parent company.

  • Although there was a slight increase in revenue last year, why did the dividends decrease by such a significant amount?

  • What is the percentage of revenue contributed by the mainland subsidiary?

  • Summary of CEO CHANG, CHIAO-HUA's Response, as requested by the Chairman 1. Over time, the company has implemented various measures, as shown by the brand market share and sales data, and it is gradually recovering and stabilizing.

  • The mainland subsidiary is 100% investment of the parent company, so the consideration of charging brand licensing fees can be taken into account. However, since they belong to the same group, their profits are attributed to WEI CHUAN Company.

  • The significant difference in EPS over the past two years is mainly due to the impact of the pandemic, inflation, and a substantial increase in raw material prices. The company has implemented numerous measures to address these challenges, but it hasn't been able to fully absorb the costs. However, after a year of effort, we can expect better profitability this year.

  • The revenue contribution from the mainland subsidiary is approximately 55%, while Taiwan company accounts for about 45%. The current revenue growth rate of the mainland subsidiary is relatively good.

Why does the income statement show profits, but the cash flow statement shows a decrease in cash? Please explain.

The cash outflows from financing activities are due to loan repayments to banks. Therefore, the overall decrease in cash is necessary expenditure to sustain the company's ongoing operations and reduce liabilities. Typically, the cash flow statement is used to assess whether there is a continuous inflow of cash from operating activities.

Report Item I

2022 Business Report

2022 Business Report of Wei Chuan Foods Corporation

In 2022, global economic tensions, extreme weather, and huge fluctuations in interest rates and exchange rates caused the prices of raw materials to rise sharply; at the same time, under the influence of inflation and the epidemic, consumer behavior became more conservative, slowing down the market momentum and impacting the business operation. With the 2023 business environment, major international institutions are not optimistic. The IMF estimates that the global economic growth rate will slow down from 3.4% to 2.9% and according to the estimate of the Directorate General of Budget, Accounting and Statistics (DGBAS) of Executive Yuan, the growth in Taiwan will dropp from 2.45% to 2.12%.

In the context of the food industry in Taiwan, the output value of Taiwan’s food industry in 2022was about NT$ 747.8 billion, with a growth of 8.43%. With global inflation, cost pressures, consumer demand and habits after the pandemic, as well as the consolidation of domestic distributors and the transformation of the digital economy, the Company must continue to seek breakthrough, innovate, and develop products with higher quality and higher added value. Thus, the core of operation is aimed at "enhancement of organizational strength" and "brand creation", and on the basis of these two goals, "core competencies of brand marketing", "strategic competitive advantage with innovation and differentiation", "competitiveness with speed and quality" and "cross-functional integration and collaborative capabilities" have brought about qualitative changes in the operation and developed a positive cycle to cope with changes in the market environment and severe challenges from market competition.

5/35

In 2022, under the influence of unfavorable external environmental factors, the consolidated operating income is NT$19,972,832 thousand, an increase of 0.8% compared with 2021; the consolidated operating profit is NT$334,177 thousand, the net profit attributable to the owners of the parent company is NT$240,283 thousand, and the earnings per share is NT$0.47. For the individual financial performance of the parent company, the operating income is NT$8,095,812 thousand, a decrease of 0.8% compared with 2021, with the operating profit of NT$4,314 thousand.

Business in Taiwan:

In 2022, due to the sharp rise in raw material prices and conservative consumption, the operating performance was not as good as expected. Facing the current difficult operating environment and market challenges, the Company will start from "reshaping the value of brand assets and creating a new growth curve", "developing channel, optimizing customer service quality, and improving the operation system", and "establishing brand core competitive advantage and optimizing supply chain system" to strengthen the promotion of core strategies. At the same time, the planning and promotion of digital transformation have been carried out in response to the advent of the digital economy, to ensure the Company's operation develops a healthier and virtuous circle, providing a solid foundation for the medium and long-term business development.

Business in Mainland China:

The Company looks to accelerate the business development in Mainland China with the established policies and strategies. The strategy is to promote "building the foundation of mid-to-high-priced and high-priced brands and establishing a strong group of brands", "strengthening the cold storage market position in retail channels and achieving breakthrough in normal temperature storage products to expand market coverage", "strengthening the customer/regional/category development and core business competitiveness in sales channels", "continuously optimizing the accumulation of consumer assets in the operation of e-commerce platforms to effectively generate revenue" and " continuously optimizing of the core competitiveness of the products and the establishment and efficiency of the supply chain system".

6/35

Looking forward, with the long-term support of all shareholders, consumers and the general public, the Company is about to enter its 70th year with the management team upholding the value of healthy, safe, and convenient food. Under the strategic of "Cultivating in Taiwan and developing in Mainland China" and the business positioning of "food manufacturing, brand marketing, and channel management", the Company continues to develop the operation in Mainland China and strives to develop strategies to expand the export market, create new growth and better operating performance, laying a solid foundation for the sustainable development of the Company; at the same time, based on the corporate responsibility and value, we will invest in the cultivation of talents and the promotion of social and environmental protection related issues, and contribute to the place where we called home.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

PWCR22000528

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of Wei Chuan Foods Corporation

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of Wei Chuan Foods Corporation and subsidiaries (the “Group”) as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related consolidated statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the consolidated financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its consolidated financial performance and its consolidated cash flows for the years then ended in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers and the International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission.

Basis for opinion

We conducted our audits of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of 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 Group’s 2022 consolidated financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the consolidated financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion

10/35

thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key audit matters for the Group’s 2022 consolidated financial statements are stated as follows:

Estimation of sales incentives

Description

Refer to Note 4(30) for accounting policy on revenue, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting judgments, assumptions and estimates in relation to revenue recognition and Note 6(22) for details of revenue.

The Group enters into different sales incentive agreements with different sales customers due to the nature of the industry. The Group pays incentives to sales customers if they meet the sales targets at various reward and promotion activities that the Group launches over a number of periods for cooperating with customers and distributors to promote products. International Financial Reporting Standards require that if sales incentives are substantively linked to operating revenue, the Group shall combine the two transactions and record the sales incentives as a deduction item to operating revenue. The Group calculates and estimates the sales incentive amounts based on the actual sales amounts and the contract terms negotiated with sales customers. Given that the aforementioned process to recognise sales incentives usually involves management judgment and the calculations are relatively complicated, we consider the estimation of sales incentives a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  1. Obtained an understanding of the Group’s internal control designed for sales incentives and tested the effectiveness of the control, such as ascertained whether the calculations and estimates of each main sales incentive were reviewed by an authorised supervisor.

  2. Obtained the reports derived from the Group’s system and the relevant proofs of delivery, and then sampled and verified the actual sales volumes and unit prices.

  3. Obtained the sales agreements of the Group’s main sales customers. Used the actual sales amounts to recalculate the incentives based on the terms specified in the agreement.

  4. Performed tests of subsequent deductions and write-offs for the balances of incentives payable that are material on the balance sheet date.

11/35

Evaluation of inventories

Description

Refer to Note 4(13) for accounting policy on inventory evaluation, Note 5(2) for critical judgement in relation to inventory evaluation, and Note 6(4) for details of inventories.

The Group is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sale of dairy products, beverages and soy sauce. Due to the high competitiveness of similar products in the food market, the growing consumer awareness of food safety in recent years and the short shelf-life of most dairy products, there is a higher risk of inventories losing value or becoming obsolete if the products are not selling as expected.

The Group applies judgments and estimates in determining the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date and then writes down the inventory costs to the net realisable value. Given that the inventories are the main operating assets for the Group, the evaluation of inventories involves management judgments and evaluation amounts are material to the financial statements, we consider the evaluation of inventories a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  1. Obtained the policies for inventory valuation and determined whether the policies applied in provision of allowance for inventory valuation losses in the different periods are in agreement.

  2. Observed physical inventory count at the end of period to identify whether there are obsolete, damaged or unsalable inventories.

  3. Obtained aging statements of each kind of inventory and tested the changes in ages of inventory. Selected samples with inventory number and verified the date of manufacture, checked the accuracy of classification range of inventory ages.

  4. Obtained net realizable value statement of each kind of inventory and checked the applied calculation logic. Tested relevant parameters, including: sales or purchases data, reasonableness of marketing to sales ratio calculation, and relevant estimate document. Checked and compared allowance for valuation losses that the Group should provision at the lower of cost and net realizable value.

12/35

Other matter – Parent company only financial statements

We have audited and expressed an unqualified opinion on the parent company only financial statements of Wei Chuan Food Corporation as at and for the years ended December 31, 2022 and 2021.

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 International Financial Reporting Standards, International Accounting Standards, IFRIC Interpretations, and SIC Interpretations that came into effect as endorsed by the Financial Supervisory Commission, 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.

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 Standards on Auditing of 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.

13/35

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and 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 appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of the 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

14/35

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 of the current period 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.

INDEPENDENT AUDITORS’ REPORT

PWCR22000541

To the Board of Directors and Shareholders of WEI CHUAN FOODS CORPORATION

Opinion

We have audited the accompanying parent company only balance sheets of Wei Chuan Foods Corporation (the “Company”) as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and the related parent company only statements of comprehensive income, of changes in equity and of cash flows for the years then ended, and notes to the parent company only financial statements, including a summary of significant accounting policies.

In our opinion, the accompanying parent company only financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the parent company only financial position of the Company as at December 31, 2022 and 2021, and its parent company only financial performance and its parent company only 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 of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing Auditing and Attestation of Financial Statements by Certified Public Accountants and Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements section of our report. We are independent of the Company in accordance with the Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountants 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.

23/35

Key audit matters

Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the Company’s 2022 parent company only financial statements. These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the parent company only financial statements as a whole and, in forming our opinion thereon, we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters.

Key audit matters for the Company’s 2022 parent company only financial statements are stated as follows:

Estimation of sales incentives

Description

Refer to Note 4(27) for accounting policy on revenue, Note 5(2) for the uncertainty of accounting judgments, assumptions and estimates in relation to revenue recognition and Note 6(19) for details of revenue.

The Company enters into different sales incentive agreements with different sales customers due to the nature of the industry. The Company pays incentives to sales customers if they meet the sales targets at various reward and promotion activities that the Company launches over a number of periods for cooperating with customers and distributors to promote products. International Financial Reporting Standards require that if sales incentives are substantively linked to operating revenue, the Company shall combine the two transactions and record the sales incentives as a deduction item to operating revenue.

The Company calculates and estimates the sales incentive amounts based on the actual sales amounts and the contract terms negotiated with sales customers. Given that the aforementioned process to recognise sales incentives usually involves management judgment and the calculations are relatively complicated, we consider the estimation of sales incentives a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

1.Obtained an understanding of the Company s internal control designed for sales incentives and tested the effectiveness of the control, such as ascertained whether the calculations and estimates of each main sales incentive were reviewed by an authorised supervisor.

24/35

  • 2.Obtained the reports derived from the Company s system and the relevant proofs of delivery, and then sampled and verified the actual sales volumes and unit prices.

  • 3.Obtained the sales agreements of the Company s main sales customers. Used the actual sales amounts to recalculate the incentives based on the terms specified in the agreement.

  • 4.Performed tests of invoices after the balance sheet date and write-offs for the balances of incentives payable that are material on the balance sheet date.

Evaluation of inventories

Description

Refer to Note 4(12) for accounting policy on inventory evaluation, Note 5(2) for critical judgement in relation to inventory evaluation, and Note 6(4) for details of inventories.

The Company is primarily engaged in the manufacture and sale of dairy products, beverages and soy sauce. Due to the high competitiveness of similar products in the food market, the growing consumer awareness of food safety in recent years and the short shelf-life of most dairy products, there is a higher risk of inventories losing value or becoming obsolete if the products are not selling as expected.

The Company applies judgments and estimates in determining the net realisable value of inventories on balance sheet date and then writes down the inventory costs to the net realisable value. Given that the inventories are the main operating assets for the Company, the evaluation of inventories involves management judgments and evaluation amounts are material to the financial statements, we consider the evaluation of inventories a key audit matter.

How our audit addressed the matter

We performed the following audit procedures on the above key audit matter:

  • 1.Obtained the policies for inventory valuation and determined whether the policies applied in provision of allowance for inventory valuation losses in the different periods are consistent.

  • 2.Observed physical inventory count at the end of period to identify whether there are obsolete, damaged or unsalable inventories.

  • 3.Obtained aging statements of each kind of inventory and tested the changes in ages of inventory. Selected samples with inventory number and verified the date of manufacture, checked the accuracy of classification range of inventory ages.

25/35

  • 4.Obtained net realisable value statement of each kind of inventory and checked the applied calculation logic. Tested relevant parameters, including: sales or purchases data, reasonableness of marketing to sales ratio calculation, and relevant estimate document. Checked and compared allowance for valuation losses that the Group should provision at the lower of cost and net realisable value.

Responsibilities of management and those charged with governance for the parent company only financial statements

Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the parent company only financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of parent company only financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.

In preparing the parent company only financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Company’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Company or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.

Those charged with governance, including the audit committee, are responsible for overseeing the Company’s financial reporting process.

Auditors’ responsibilities for the audit of the parent company only financial statements

Our objectives are to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the parent company only financial statements as a whole are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error, and to issue an auditors’ report that includes our opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of 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.

26/35

As part of an audit in accordance with the Standards on Auditing of the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:

  • 1.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.

  • 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 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.

  • 5.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.

  • 6.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 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.

27/35

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 of the current period 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.
