YFY Inc.
1.Business Report
The global pandemic, extreme climate change, and the ongoing war tensions between Ukraine and Russia in 2022 have caused high prices for international energy and raw materials. In order to curb inflationary pressures, the risen interest rates have resulted in a weaker global economic recovery than previously expected. According to the International Monetary Fund (IMF), the global economic growth rate in 2022 was 3.4%, and a further slowdown to 2.9% in 2023.
YFY Inc.(Hereinafter YFY) reported a consolidated revenue of NT$79.636 billion and a net profit attributable to the owners of the company of NT$2.17 billion after tax in 2022, with an earnings per share of NT$1.31
Building on years of hard work and a solid foundation, the management team of YFY is committed to practical innovation and long-term development. To enhance our technology, promote the circular economy, and implement the three major strategies of low-carbon, low-energy consumption, and replacing plastics with saccharide, we are pursuing five major development directions:
- Renewable Energy Development and Management:
To achieve higher energy efficiency, YFY has implemented the ISO 50001 energy management system and responded to the energy-saving plans of the Industrial Development Bureau, MOEA (IDB) and the Taiwan Power Company's Demand Response load management program. Through equipment upgrades, continuous reduction of energy consumption, and waste heat recovery measures, we are promoting various energy-saving projects to reduce fixed costs. At the same time, our newly established Carbon Management Business Group adheres to the concept of a circular economy, combining renewable materials and low-carbon energy, and utilizing digital technology. Under the principles of positive development of business growth and environmental protection, we promote low-carbon management for the company, both internally and externally, and construct a complete low-carbon industry chain with a comprehensive development strategy .
- Investment and Incubation:
YFY extends its investment content and themes from its core business scope and conducts incubation of invested companies. After participating in capital market operations, it recycles funds for the next round of investment , and creates a sustainable value creation model through this continuous cycle. So far, TAIGEN-KY (4157), Shin Foong (6582), YFYCPG (6790), and others have been listed. Arizon RFID-KY (6863) will become the ninth publicly listed company of the YFY Inc. group. As a leading global manufacturer of RFID tags, it has passed Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation's (TWSE) listing review and will be listed for trading soon. Through cross-industry technology
8
deployment, Arizon RFID aims to enhance product applications and penetration rates, and is expected to demonstrate fruitful results.
- Circular Economy:
YFY won the "Taiwan Circular Economy Awards" for its full-cycle operation. With papermaking process as the core, it recycles paper during the process and highly reuses process water, further reducing the consumption of raw materials and water resources. Remaining materials in the factory such as sawdust and sludge generated during production can be converted into commodities such as asphalt, refractory bricks, and agricultural fertilizers through reprocessing. The use or recovery of green energy sources such as solar photovoltaics, liquid lignin power generation, biomass fuels, and biogas is continuously carried out to promote the circulation of renewable energy. YFY is committed to upgrading power generation technology by using SRF to reduce the proportion of coal-fired power generation and effectively reduce carbon emissions. With years of experience and achievements in full-cycle operation, YFY has become a provider of solutions for other enterprises and has increased its sources of profit.
- New Material for the Saccharide Economy
YFY proposes special chemical materials based on saccharides, which are renewable and low-carbon environmental-friendly materials developed from glycogenic source materials such as cellulose and starch. Through material science technology, YFY aims to achieve the goal of "replacing plastics with saccharides." Forest, Pulp & Paper Group has developed a cowhide paper tape made from recycled paper, which is a highly environmentally-friendly and decomposable product with high added value. The group has also developed various applications for masking paper in different colors, practicing the concept of full-cycle economy, expanding product applications, and enhancing added value. From development to manufacturing, the group injects sustainable thinking throughout the process. The full-paper food container, which replaces plastic with paper and has no PE coating, can be directly recycled after use, making a triple contribution to reducing carbon, plastic, and waste.
- Establishment of Industry 4.1 and Ecosystem (in Upstream and Downstream Industries)
YFY has launched a Smart Manufacturing Industry Project, integrating the technical capabilities of its various business groups. By using AIoT and combining big data analysis, AI modeling, and virtual inspection technology, the project aims to improve manufacturing efficiency and gradually replicate successful experiences at the Jiutang Plant of Forest, Pulp & Paper Group to other YFY’s factories, thereby reducing production costs and optimizing production quality and efficiency. YFY's subsidiary has teamed up with
9
multiple banks to establish the " Blockchain Alliance for Supply Chain Finance ", integrating the supply chain of business flow, capital flow, and information flow to solve problems in the logistics of short supply chains model and transform them into new business opportunities. Currently, over 280 suppliers have participated, achieving responsible supply chain management for the enterprise and strengthening the ESG goals of sustainable supply chains.
Looking ahead to 2023, YFY's management team will continuously review talents, funding, environmental, and regulatory aspects, and pay close attention to international situations, technological developments, ecological environment, and changes in social patterns. The company will maintain flexibility and resilience, continuously enhancing ESG, and create reasonable long-term investment value for shareholders, as it marches forward to becoming a century-old enterprise.

Appendix 11.1
11.CPA's Audit Report-Consolidated Financial Statements
YFY Inc.
Opinion
We have audited the accompanying consolidated financial statements of YFY Inc. and its subsidiaries (collectively referred to as the “Group”), which comprise the consolidated balance sheets as of December 31, 2022 and 2021, 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, the accompanying consolidated financial statements present fairly, in all material respects, the consolidated financial position of the Group as of 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 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 in the Republic of China. Our responsibilities under those standards are further described in the Auditors’ Responsibilities for the Audit of the Consolidated Financial Statements section of our report. We are independent of the Group in accordance with The Norm of Professional Ethics for Certified Public Accountant of the Republic of China, and we have fulfilled our other ethical responsibilities in accordance with these requirements. We believe that the audit evidence we have obtained is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion.
Key Audit Matters
Key audit matters are those matters that, in our professional judgment, were of most significance in our audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022. 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 of the Group’s consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:
Estimation of Expected Credit Loss Recognized on Receivable
The accounts receivable of the Group’s significant components are material in amount. In consideration of transactions with various counterparties, the recoverability of receivable is subject to not only each customer’s financial condition but also management’s estimation and judgment. Therefore, we identified the estimation of expected credit loss recognized on receivable as a key audit matter.
26
For related policies and relevant information on the estimation of expected credit loss of receivable, refer to Notes 4, 5 and 10 to the accompanying consolidated financial statements.
The key audit procedures that we performed in respect of the expected credit loss on receivable included the following:
-
We obtained and assessed the reasonableness of the method and the information used by management for the estimation of expected credit loss recognized on receivable.
-
We tested sample items in the aging report on the balance sheet date and verified the correctness of the calculation of the expected credit loss.
-
We analyzed overdue receivables and performed sampling on the collections of overdue receivables after the balance sheet date. We assessed the reasonableness of the expected credit loss recognized on receivable based on customers’ historical payment records, credit line control and overdue receivables tracking.
Other Matter
We have also audited the financial statements of YFY Inc. as of and for the years 2022 and 2021 on which we have issued an auditors’ report, respectively.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Consolidated Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the consolidated financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and IFRS, IAS, IFRIC, and SIC endorsed and issued into effect by the Financial Supervisory Commission of the Republic of China, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of consolidated financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
In preparing the consolidated financial statements, management is responsible for assessing the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern, disclosing, as applicable, matters related to going concern and using the going concern basis of accounting unless management either intends to liquidate the Group or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative but to do so.
Those charged with governance, including the audit 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 auditing standards 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.
27
As part of an audit in accordance with the auditing standards in the Republic of China, we exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:
-
Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of the consolidated financial statements, whether due to fraud or error, design and perform audit procedures responsive to those risks, and obtain audit evidence that is sufficient and appropriate to provide a basis for our opinion. The risk of not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than for one resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, misrepresentations, or the override of internal control.
-
Obtain an understanding of internal control relevant to the audit in order to design audit procedures that are appropriate in the circumstances, but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on the effectiveness of the Group’s internal control.
-
Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by management.
-
Conclude on the appropriateness of management’s use of the going concern basis of accounting and, based on the audit evidence obtained, whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the Group’s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, we are required to draw attention in our auditors’ report to the related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion. Our conclusions are based on the audit evidence obtained up to the date of our auditors’ report. However, future events or conditions may cause the Group to cease to continue as a going concern.
-
Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the consolidated financial statements, including the disclosures, and whether the consolidated financial statements represent the underlying transactions and events in a manner that achieves fair presentation.
-
Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of entities or business activities within the Group to express an opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for the direction, supervision, and performance of the Group audit. We remain solely responsible for our audit opinion.
We communicate with those charged with governance regarding, among other matters, the planned scope and timing of the audit and significant audit findings, including any significant deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit.
We also provide those charged with governance with a statement that we have complied with relevant ethical requirements regarding independence, and to communicate with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be thought to bear on our independence, and where applicable, related safeguards.
From the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine those matters that were of most significance in the audit of the consolidated financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 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.

These matters were addressed in the context of our audit of the financial statements as a whole, and in forming our opinion thereon, and we do not provide a separate opinion on these matters. Key audit matters of the Company’s financial statements for the year ended December 31, 2022 are stated as follows:
Valuation of Receivables
The Company has a large number of customers and its notes and accounts receivable are material in amount. When evaluating the impairment of receivables, the management estimated the loss allowance based on the lifetime expected credit loss. The valuation of receivables involves accounting estimates and assumptions determined by the management. Therefore, we considered the valuation of receivables as a key audit matter.
For the disclosures related to receivables, refer to Notes 4 and 9 to the accompanying financial statements.
Other audit procedures for the abovementioned key audit matter included the following:
-
30 -
-
We obtained the reports of impaired receivables impairment and assessed the reasonableness of the methodology and data used in the reports.
-
We tested the receivables aging schedule and reviewed the calculation of expected credit loss for reasonableness of the recognized expected credit loss on receivables.
-
We tested the recoverability of receivables by analyzing overdue accounts and by verifying cash receipts in the subsequent period. For a receivable that was past due but not yet received, we assessed the reasonableness of the expected credit loss based on the customer’s payment history, customer’s credit policy control and tracking of overdue receivables.
Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements
Management is responsible for the preparation and fair presentation of the financial statements in accordance with the Regulations Governing the Preparation of Financial Reports by Securities Issuers, and for such internal control as management determines is necessary to enable the preparation of financial statements that are free from material misstatement, whether due to fraud or error.
