Discussion and Analysis of Management of the Company I. The situation of the industry during the reporting period The Company shall comply with the disclosure requirements of "related business of the chemical industry" in the Guidelines of SZSE for Self-Discipline Regulation of Listed Companies No.3 – Industrial Information Disclosure The Company is categorized into the industry of chemical pesticide manufacturing (C2631) in chemical raw materials and chemical manufacturing (C26). Pesticides are also commonly known as crop protection products in the industry, which refer to products with a broader scope, including non-chemical pesticides (such as bio-pesticides, and bio- stimulants). Pesticides are known as preparations for the prevention and control of crop diseases and insect pests. Pesticide products actually used are pesticide preparations made from pesticide active compound and pesticide auxiliaries. The active compound takes effect, and it is also called active ingredients or active constitute. In addition, depending on the targets, the pesticides can also be categorized into herbicide, insecticide, fungicide, plan t growth regulator, etc. (I) The development and trend of crop protection industry: 1. Structural growth opportunities still exist in the global crop protection market with rigid demands From the global perspective, the crop protection industry is an existing market that has rigid demands and is steadily growing in market shares. The demand for crop protection is closely related to the demands of humans for food and other crops. In recent years, with the increase in the population of the world, and the continuous occurrence of pests and diseases, the scale of global crop protection market is constantly expanding. According to the data of Phillips McDougall, a British market research company, the global crop protection market scale increased from USD 35.575 billion to USD 69.886 billion, with annual compound growth rate of 5% from 2006 to 2020. It is not an industry featuring rapid growth in terms of the total growth rate, and it is also an industry that lacks change or strong growth dynamic due to the limitation of the non-linear improvement of new compound development costs, but it still has three clear structural growth opportunities: First, the continuous expansion of the market share of non -patented crop protection products. Second, with the continuous expansion of non-patented crop protection market share, excellent multinational generic companies grow rapidly (such as UPL in India). Third, with the promotion of different transgenic seeds and the resistance of different varieties, the prohibition policy from the government has brought about the change of usage amount of different varieties (such as glufosinate-ammonium, diquat, propithiazole and chlorfenamide gained rapid growth in the global market in the past few years). 2. Non-patented crop protection market shares and excellent multinational non-patented crop protection companies grow fast - 12 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company With the continuous expansion of the non-patented crop protection market shares, excellent multinational non- patented crop protection companies have grown rapidly. The most eye-catching case in the industry in past few years is how Indian company UPL rapidly strengthened itself and expanded its market share internationally by purchasing Arysta and other companies with strong channel brands and constantly investing in the self-production of important non-patented active ingredients. Excellent multinational non-patented crop protection companies with high growth rate must have the following five features: (1) Fast response and decision-making mechanism (quick response to the rapid changes in the supply-end, cost-end and market-end globally is needed); (2) Light structure and low-cost rate (fierce homogeneous competition in non-patented crop protection markets will make gross profit margin of the market channels constantly decline); (3) Diversified and complete product portfolio for providing an integrated crop solution (not relying too much on a single product); (4) The broad global market coverage and channel, and the construction of the brand (not relying too much on a single market, and having a good brand channel); (5) Be able to exert the impact on a number of important active ingredients (advanced manufacturing of important active components to form the complete industrial chain from the factory to the farm, thus stabilizing the supply and cost advantage, and supporting further expansion of the global market). 3. The global usage amount of different varieties changes rapidly With the promotion of different transgenic seeds, the prohibition/ restriction policies of government, and the resistance of different varieties, the usage amount is changing rapidly among different varieties. (1) With the promotion of transgenic seeds, the growth rate of global use of glufosinate-ammonium and 2,4D was significantly higher than that of other varieties in the past three years. (2) The prohibition or restriction policies of the government have a great impact on the use of different varieties: For example, the prohibition of paraquat in China, Brazil, Vietnam, Thailand and other mark ets has prompted significant increase of its alternatives varieties such as glufosinate-ammonium and diquat; To give another example, the prohibition of chlorpyrifos in Argentina, Vietnam, the EU, Myanmar, the United States and other markets directly has led to a significant decline in the global use of chlorpyrifos, and promoted the rapid growth of other alternative varieties; Another example is the prohibition of chlorothalonil in the EU directly has led to the serious excess of chlorothalonil production. (3) The resistance changes of different varieties require the mixed use of several alternatives for the same target diseases, insects and weeds: For example, countries such as Vietnam and Pakistan in South Asia have habitually used a single insecticide frequently and intensively, resulting in the rapid rise of its insecticide resistance and the frequent changes of different varieties; For another example, the fungicide resistance of Brazil to prevent soybean Asian rust changes rapidly, and it needs to be used alternately or mixed among different varieties. The rapid change in such different varieties enables manufacturers who are relying too much on a single active ingredients to face significant opportunities or major crises. - 13 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company 4. The development of crop protection products market in different regions of the world is imbalanced, the growth rate is different, and emerging markets are growing rapidly. In the past five years, the growth rate of the crop protection products market in different regions of the worl d has been different, and the growth rate in emerging markets is faster, which is represented as follows: (1) The Latin American region continues to grow rapidly: Latin America has become an increasingly important source of agricultural production and supply in the world. In the past five years, Latin America has sustained rapid growth, especially in Brazil. (2) The growth rate in the Northern American market slows down: The market size of the United States and Canada is relatively stable, and with the increase in the market share of non-patented crop protection products, competition has intensified; (3) Steady and slow growth of the Asia-Pacific market: India, Indonesia, Bangladesh, Vietnam and other markets in the region are growing relatively fast; (4) The growth rate in Africa is accelerating: With the development of economy, countries in Africa increase investment in agriculture, and the market scale of crop protection products grows rapidly; (5) Accelerated growth of Eastern European market: The growth rate of Russia and Ukraine, in the region, is very obvious, especially Russia, which has become the seventh largest crop protection product market in the world; (6) The size of the EU market is stable and slightly decreased: The EU's policy of prohibiting and restricting more and more active ingredients, and the high product registration and maintenance costs to meet regulatory requirements have made this market less attractive due to the high risk of registration investment and high amortization cost of intangible assets, despite its high gross profit margin. The market size in this region is stable and continues to decline slightly, but the market for bio-pesticide and bio-stimulant will become a growth point. 5. The management regulations and policies of crop protection products in different countries worldwide are frequently adjusted and increasingly strict To enter the market of any country, crop protection products need to obtain a product registration certificate in that country in accordance with relevant laws and regulations of that country,. Obtaining a product registration in country A does not mean that it can be sold in country B. That is, even the same product also needs to be sold in accordance with relevant laws and regulations of each country, to obtain the product registration certificate in the target country. The management regulations and policies for crop protection products in various countries around the world are frequently adjusted and increasingly strict, mainly in the following aspects: (1) Changes in registration policies or approval fees have increased the registration costs of individual products in various countries: For example, the adjustment of the registration policy of the imported product of India in 2017, has made the registration fee of a single imported technical drug directly rise from 20,000 USD to around 400,000 USD to 800,000 USD now. In China, with the implementation of the new pesticide management regulations issued in 2017, the registration cost of a single original drug of the old variety has increased from about RMB 200,000 to about RMB 5 million now. - 14 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company (2) Registration policies are being adjusted towards high data standardization and complication, making registration more difficult: Even countries with very loose requirements are increasingly changing from accepting public data to requiring GLP experiments reports. The types of reports required are more and more complex, which increases the types of data required for the registration of a single product, improves the standard, and increases the preparation time of data, and some of the data is extremely difficult to prepare professionally. (3) The declining of efficiency in the approval and certification by governments around the world: For example, the government departments in countries such as Argentina, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Malaysia, have limited the annual number of submissions or the number of approved products of each company, resulting in slow process with prolonged cycle for new product certification. Many countries, such as Argentina, Bangladesh, Malaysia, and Algeria, have even introduced policies to limit the number of product registration applications per applicant per year. (4) The registration process in important crop protection product markets generally takes a long time: The process takes long in the world's important crop protection product markets such as Brazil, Argentina, Mexico, Russia, India, China, the EU and etc. In Brazil, it generally takes 5-8 years; in Russia, India, and the EU, it generally takes 4-6 years; in Argentina, Mexico, and China, it generally takes 3-5 years; in the United States, it generally takes 2-3 years. The above-mentioned changes in industry management regulations and policies are very beneficial to those companies that have a registration team that registers KNOW-HOW in various markets around the world, have efficient decision-making and organizational coordination mechanisms, and have a large number of registrations in various markets around the world. (II) 2022 global crop protection market environment 1. The global market prices of bulk agricultural products remain high and the growers' yields are good. Therefore, the overall demand for crop protection products is strong The food security concerns and the demand for biofuel recovery resulting from the on-going global COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine conflict, as well as the weather-related agricultural supply problems, have boosted the global demand for bulk agricultural products. High bulk agricultural product prices and good yields for growers have led growers to expand acreage and increase agricultural inputs, leading to strong global demand for crop protection products as a whole. 2. There are challenges in inventory management and timely adjustment of market strategies due to rapid changes in the supply and demand of crop protection products In the fourth quarter of 2021, energy prices skyrocketed due to China's strict “dual control” policy on energy consumption, which triggered panic buying in all major markets in fear of reduced supply. The trend continued until the third quarter of 2022. During this period, the demand for most products exceeded supply and the price soared. After the third quarter of 2022, with the delivery of most of the over-ordered goods and the continuous expansion of the production capacity of suppliers, the relationship between supply and demand changed suddenly and a period of oversupply began, and the price of crop protection began to decline, which further led to the hesitation, delay and - 15 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company destocking of buyers. This aggravated the situation of oversupply, resulting in the continuous decline of crop protection prices with heavy downward pressure; This rapid change in the supply and demand and the rapid decline in the prices of most products have brought challenges to the inventory management and market strategy adjustment of companies. It is particularly important to respond quickly and make accurate decisions based on the thorough understanding of the whole industrial chain from factories to farms. 3. The overall performance of crop protection products industry is good In 2022, although the overall price of crop protection products began to decline rapidly in the fourth quarter, the overall earnings of companies in the industry was better than the historical average due to panic buying in the first three quarters. II.

In 2022, the market prices fell. III. Analysis of Core Competitiveness 1. Originating from China Serving the world---the unique business model to achieve “From Made in China to Globalization of Chinese Brands” In the early years after the Company's establishment, relying on the experience accumulated by the founding team in the crop protection product industry, it participated in the global pesticide industry chain as an active compound manufacturer and supplier. It achieved rapid growth and initial accumulation with the help of the rapid development of the global crop protection products market and the wave of industrial transfer to emerging countries such as China. - 16 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company With the changes in the global economic environment, the global crop protection products industry is also undergoing changes. Especially after the outbreak of the financial crisis in 2008, affected by the decline in overall market demand, the overcapacity problem of domestic manufacturing industry was more and more prominent due to years of continuous low-level repeated production. Many products were oversupplied and generated vicious price competition, which adversely affected the profitability of enterprises in the industry. In response to the challenges brough t about by changes in domestic and foreign economic and market environments, the Company responded quickly. Since the second half of 2008, it began to explore and plan the optimization and upgrading of the Company's sales model and development route. The Company has gradually formed a global marketing network with “team+platform+innovation” as the basic elements, combining the traditional export mode of crop protection products with the overseas independent registration mode, and featuring a “fast market access platform”. The core of the "fast market access platform” is to obtain the registration of a rich and complete product portfolio in each target country and to adhere to the concept of open platform. The rich and complete product portfolio registration can provide growers with integrated crop solutions, and the concept of open platform enables the Company to build its own local team based on the target country platform, to carry out the B-C business model of its own brand. In addition, the Company adopts flexible way to open the platform to other excellent partners to carry outB-B operation. Based on this open platform, the Company can rapidly expand market share through multiple channels including the Company's self-built team and cooperation with industry partners. In each target country, the Company adheres to the combination of the traditional export model of crop protection products and the overseas self-registration model. The Company can flexibly adjust and switch between different market roles such as suppliers, brand owners and service providers according to changes in market scenarios and product differences. Two models promote and complement each other. The traditional export model provides a solid customer base and market awareness for business expansion under the overseas self-registration model. The abundant overseas self-registration not only greatly improves the Company's brand awareness, but also can better meet customer needs with more various products and improve the intimacy with customers, which is more conducive to the development of the Company's traditional export business. At present, the Company's traditional export business model still accounts for a considerable proportion of revenue. In future, with the continuous increase of the Company's overseas self-registration quantities and the continuous improvement of the construction of the global marketing network characterized by “fast market entry platform”, the proportion of revenue of the overseas self-registration model and the proportion of B-C revenue of self-owned brands will be further increased. In addition, the Company's profitability and capabilities to maintain sustainable and stable growth and operation will be significantly improved, so as to achieve stable, sustainable and rapid growth in performance. According to the mid-term strategic plan, the Company is speeding up and increasing the investment in overseas self- registration to enrich the product portfolio in each target country, and starting the construction of a “fast market entry platform” in more target countries. In the meanwhile, the Company also adheres to the characteristics of “light structure and rapid response” to accelerate the development of its own brand B-C business in each target country. - 17 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company With its own strength and China's strong supply chain, the Company is striving to achieve “From Made in China to Globalization of Chinese Brands”. 2. Clear and firmly implemented strategic plan In 2019, based on the BLM model, with the participation of all core team members, the Company reached a consensus and determined the mid-term strategic plan for2020-2024 after in-depth and sufficient discussions. The mid-term strategic plan was formulated based on the guidelines of “Persisting in doing the difficult but correct work, moving towards the forefront of industrial value chain, and building a complete industrial chain”. After the mid-term strategic plan is completed, the Company organizes an annual review and update in the middle of each year to ensure that the key tasks formulated around the plan keep pace with the times. Based on the mid-term strategic plan, the Company formulates the annual business plan, annual department work plan and personal PBC. After decoding level by level, it forms a strategic plan implementation map, summarizes, reviews and comments on the implementation every quarter, and proposes the next improvement plan to ensure that all staff focus on strategic planning and annual work plans, and work together to achieve the goals. 3. A professional, committed and international core team The Company has nurtured a stable operation team. For more than 20 years, the operation team led by founding shareholders, Wicky Wang, Sun Guoqing, Qiu Hongbing, Yuan Liangguo and Liu Yuanqiang, has focused on the sector of crop protection products. They have a profound expertise and rich hands-on experiences with insights into segmented markets and development trends globally. The Company's vision is “To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company” and its mission is “All abo ut Growing". The core values of the Company are“Customer Oriented; Rapid Response; Constant Effort; Open and Inclusive; Together We Work; Together We Win”. With the guidance of the vision, mission and core values, and by practicing them, the Company builds cultural identities and unity of team members. Through continuously improving positions, salaries and benefits, performances and training systems, the Company builds an international team to facilitate global business expansion. To fully implement the core value of “Together We Win”, the Company has launched a restricted share incentive plan for excellent core members of the operational team other than the founding shareholders in 2021. This will be an integral part of the Company’s efforts in continuously improving positions, salaries and benefits, performances and training systems with an aim to build a united international team who will pay collective efforts towards shared goals. 4. R& D and innovate support for advanced manufacturing Since the financial crisis in 2008, under the influence of decreasing demands on the market and with aggravated over - productivity due to continuous low-level repeated construction in the domestic manufacturing sector for years, the domestic market has seen excessive supplies of the crop protection products and vicious price competition which exerts negative influences on the profits of the companies in the industry. In response to the challenges brought by the domestic& foreign economic environment and changes in the market, the operation team determined to invest limited resources in business expansion and deepening of the global market between 2008 to 2019 after analysis and discussion, and built a global marketing network which features as“Fast Market Access Platform”. - 18 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company At this stage, matching with the strategic planning, the Company mostly concentrates its R&D and innovation resources on development of differentiated formulations oriented by the pain points of the end market. So far, the Company has set up technologies and a R&D team to facilitate rapid development of formulations of all specifications in need of clients around the world. The development features as rapid, cost-effective compliant with laws and regulations of varied countries and globally leading. Since 2017, with the improvement of national security and environmental protection management requirements and law enforcement, non-compliant and technological outdated production capacity in the domestic crop protection manufacturing industry has been cleared out. Large compliant active ingredient manufacturers have gotten into a favorable development and growth cycle. During this cycle, more and more active ingredients single products are seeking technological breakthroughs in automatic production, continuity, environmental protection and other aspects to meet the requirements of laws& regulations and stable production. Once they achieve the breakthroughs, they can expand the production into larger scale as to dominate the global market in that product. The Company has spotted this trend on the active ingredient manufacturing early, and thus shifted its resources of R&D and innovation to the advanced manufacturing of active ingredients single product in 2019. To achieve large- scale production of active ingredients by utilizing globally leading technologies, on basis of the network built in the course of the long-term international market expansion and the Company’s international vision, the Company has actively gathered top experts from varied segmented domains and optimized the R&D work flow. So far, the Company has set up an international technology team with globally leading expertise and a science-based, rigorous, efficient and systematic work flow. That has given strong support to the successful execution and stable operation of the active ingredients synthesis program in the long-term planning. According to the Company’s medium-term planning, the main measures and focus of the Company in R&D and innovation are as follows: (1) Select from expired patents the target products that are instrumental for expanding into multiple markets on the globe and that have the potential to create a huge market. Another crucial factor is that these products must offer a large room for technological improvement. The Company refuses to engage in low-level repeated production and never advances prematurely in blind pursuit of quantity. The Company only invests for active ingredient products when it is confident that it can take the lead in terms of techniques and production scale of the niche markets worldwide for these products. (2) Select active ingredients that are instrumental for the Company's market expansion and that have great market potential from soon-to-expire patents and be the first to start planning for those ingredients worldwide. The Company is determined to become the leader in exploring the market of such active ingredients in their post -patent period. (3) Research, develop and launch differentiated formulations with the guidance of the pain points of end markets around the globe. This type of programs have seen considerable success on many target markets. The Company has summarized the methodology from the practice and paid full efforts in implementing the methodology. 5. Broadly covered global marketing network The Company's business covers the world, with five manufacturing bases in Wei Fang, Qingdao (Shandong Province, China), Pingluo (Ningxia Province, China), Argentina and Spain. The Company has set up over 80 subsidiaries overseas - 19 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company with its businesses in over 80 countries. With strong global registration competence, the Company is expanding its global marketing network at high speed. According to the Company’s medium-term strategic plan (updated in 2022), in terms of the construction of “Fast Market Access Platform”, the Company will complete the preliminary stage of the project in all major markets except the United States, Canada and Japan by 2024. In addition, the Company will complete the project in all major markets between 2025 and 2029 to achieve the construction of "Fast Market Access Platform". In terms of running self-branded business-to-customer by setting up local teams, the Company will implement this plan in no less than 25 new target countries by the end of 2024. 6.

IV. Analysis on main businesses 1. Overview Rainbow’s present medium-term strategic plan (2020-2024) was drawn under the guiding principle of “Persisting in doing the difficult but correct work, moving towards the forefront of industrial value chain, and building a complete industrial chain”. On basis of this medium-term strategic plan, the Company will continue focusing on R&D and innovation-backed advanced manufacturing and improving the global marketing network. Following is the summary of progresses made in these two aspects in this year. I. R&D and innovation-backed advanced manufacturing 1. Team building: In 2022, the Company stepped up efforts to recruit more talents who are fresh graduates and experienced professionals. 42 new employees were added to the technology team, among which 5 are top-notch experts. The overall R&D capability was improved. Meanwhile, with a wide expertise network build through years in the international market and an international vision, the Company has actively integrated top experts in segmented - 20 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company domains and further improved R&D processes. So far, the Company has preliminarily built an international technology team with top expertise and a science-based, rigorous, effective and systematic work flow which provides strong support o successful construction and stable operation of programs in the Company planning. 2. Project planning: Under the guidance of the Company's medium-term strategic plan, by leveraging the Company's advantages in sharp market sensitivity and full transparent industrial chain, the Company has selected systematic, rigorous and targeted products for medium-term product planning. In terms of manufacturing active ingredients, important active ingredients with expired patents or with soon-to-expire patents were in the process of being handled by different project teams in steady progress. 3. Progress of implementation: In terms of manufacturing active ingredients, the Company has developed and optimized processing technologies of manufacturing important active ingredients based on goals of automation, continuous and environmental protection to make the processing more refined and chemical-based. So far, a first-of- its-kind full-process continuous green processing chain for an active ingredient built in China has been put into operation. A project for full-chain continuity transformation of an active ingredient is in the preproduction stage. Two projects for full-chain continuity transformation of active ingredients have been completed and are ready for implementation. Two active ingredients are expected to complete development in the second half of 2023 and get ready for implementation in 2024. One active ingredient is expected to complete development in the second half of 2024 and get ready for implementation in 2025. The successful execution and stable operation of each project in the medium-term strategic planning will gradually improve the whole industrial chain of Rainbow and provide strong support to the expansion of the global market. II. Improving the Global Marketing Network 1. Team building: The marketing and registration team has rapidly expanded through recruitment campaigns at domestic universities and colleges, social recruitment and local recruitment in different countries. Especially after enhancing recruitment of local staff in foreign countries, the set-up and management of international teams has become more systematic and mature.

Vision of Future Development (I) Rainbow’s present medium-term strategic plan(2020-2024) was drawn under the guiding principle of “Persisting in doing the difficult but correct work, moving towards the forefront of industrial value chain, and building a complete industrial chain”. On basis of this medium-term strategic plan, the Company will continue focusing on R&D and innovation-backed advanced manufacturing and improving the global marketing network. Work progresses the Company has made in these two aspects in 2022 have been described in detailed in the section of analysis on major businesses above, which will not be repeated here. The implementation plan of the Company's mid-term strategic plan and the important work in 2023 about these two aspects are summarized as follows: 1. Firmly implement the medium-term strategic plan - 26 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company In terms of R&D and innovation-backed advanced manufacturing, the Company plans to complete advanced manufacturing of important active ingredients towards the goals of automation, continuity and environmental protection during the medium-term strategic planning stage (by the end of 2024). For important active ingredients whose patent period is about to expire, preliminary preparation is carried out actively to achieve successfully advanced manufacturing during 2025-2029. In terms of improving the global marketing network, the Company plans to complete preliminary construction of “Fast market entry platform”, in all major markets on the globe except the United States, Canada and Japan during the medium-term strategic planning stage (by the end of 2024) and will complete the construction of “fast market entry platform” in all major markets on the globe between 2025 and 2029. In terms of running self-branded business-to- customerby setting up local teams, the Company will implement this plan in no less than 25 new target countries by the end of 2024. 2. Important work for the year of 2023 (1) Continuously intensify the training of core team members' capabilities and values, enforce the qualification standards for core members to take office, take serious measures for the publicity and practice of core values, and guarantee that all core members want to "fight", be able to "fight" and win the "fight". (2) Actively promote process change projects within the Company in collaboration with management consulting companies, build a complete set of excellent end-to-end process operation system and management system in line with Rainbow's business to guarantee the execution of processes and the enforcement of the planning for process construction. (3) Build such a management system that adapts to the global operation, facilitate the launch of the global SAPERP project, improve the capability of global operation, and ensure efficient operation, safe operation and stable development. (4) Thoroughly understand the information of the whole industrial chain from factory to farm, respond quickly, make accurate decisions, establish and effectively operate the procurement-and-sale collaborative mechanism with the characteristics of Rainbow. (5) Successfully enforce the established advanced manufacturing project of important active ingredients on schedule. (6) Accelerate business development in more markets, build Model C/C+ in more markets and make them grow fast, and further improve the global marketing network. (7) Finish the enforcement of the registration plan in each target country and achieve order-based management throughout the registration process. (8) Continuously optimize and efficiently run the delivery system to ensure the fast and timely delivery of ordered products with high quality. 3. Industry outlook for the year of 2023 (1) The global market demand for crop protection products will remain strong: The food security concerns and the demand for biofuel recovery resulting from the on-going global COVID-19 pandemic and Russia-Ukraine conflict and the weather-related agricultural supply problems, have boosted the global demand for bulk agricultural products. - 27 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company High bulk agricultural product prices and good yields for growers have led growers to expand acreage and increase agricultural inputs, leading to strong global demand for crop protection products as a whole. (2) There will be a distinct phase of oversupply of global crop protection products: After the third quarter of 2022, with the delivery of most of the over-ordered goods and the continuous expansion of the production capacity of suppliers, the relationship between supply and demand changed suddenly and a period of oversupply began, and the price of crop protection began to decline, which further led to the hesitation, delay and destocking of buyers. This aggravated the situation, resulting in the continuous decline of crop protection prices wit h heavy downward pressure. (3) The overall performance of the crop protection industry will decline before picking up: Affected by the distinct phase of oversupply and destocking in major markets, the crop protection industry will show a decline in busines s performance. After the destocking in all markets is basically over, the industry will benefit from the higher price of bulk agricultural products and the overall stronger demand of growers for crop protection products. It is highly likely that the overall performance of the crop protection industry will be better in the second half of the year than in the first half of the year. II. Potential Risks the Company may Face 1. Risks from environmental protection The Company is categorized into the sub-industry of manufacturing of chemical pesticides under the manufacturing of chemical raw materials and chemical products. Waste water, waste gas and waste residue will be produced during production and operation, which requires comparatively high environmental protection. Along with the full enforcement of the national strategy for sustainable development, the environmental protection policy has become increasingly strict, and the goal of environmental pollution management has been increasingly raised. The Company will further intensify its investment in environmental protection, insist on source control, launch digital transformation of production, and endeavor to control environmental protection risks within a reasonable range. Counter-measures: The Company will strictly comply with the requirements of relevant laws and regulations on environmental protection to fulfill the corresponding examination and approval procedures on environmental protection, enhance relevant pollution treatment facilities, cut down pollutant emissions to a further extent, and guarantee that the Company's operations conform to relevant environmental requirements. Apart from that, the Company will increase the research on green technology, apply cleaner production to practice, and continuously decrease the generated waste and pollutants by use of clean energy, technologies and equipment with high resource utilization rate and low pollutant discharge, as well as comprehensive utilization technology of waste and harmless treatment technology of pollutants. 2. Risks from safety production Some raw materials, semi-finished products and finished products of the Company are flammable, explosive, corrosive or toxic substances, and the production process is made up of high-temperature and high-pressure processes, raising relatively high requirements for equipment security and appropriateness of manual operation. There exist the risks of accidents and security incidents as a result of imperfect equipment and technology, improper storage and operation of goods. The Company has been devoted to enhancing the process routes all along, increasing the degree of - 28 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company automation control in the process of production, reinforcing management and raising the security awareness of employees. Counter-measures: The Company will continue to launch special rectification actions for safety production, perfect the double prevention mechanism, increase investment in the management of safety production, reinforce the maintenance of security equipment and facilities, enhance on-site management and security education and training for employees, build and perfect a variety of security management systems, and control and prevent accidents in an effective manner. 3. Risks of policy changes in major importing countries of pesticides The Company principally sells its products to the international market, and the exporters in the reporting period principally cover Argentina, Brazil, Australia, the United States, Thailand, and the like. Since the requirements for environmental protection in various countries have become increasingly stringent, the major importers of pesticides on a global scale may take increasingly stringent control measures for the import and use of pesticide products, including raising the standards for product registration and restricting the import of highly toxic and residual pesticide varieties, and the like. As a major exporter of pesticide products in the world, China's trade protection measures such as anti-dumping investigation against China's exported pesticide products will also be adopted from time to time, leaving a certain adverse influence on the export of domestic manufacturers of pesticides. Counter-measures: The Company will carry out more information collection and analysis of foreign markets, and actively keep track of the policy trends of relevant countries and markets. Apart from that, the Company will continuously raise the level of technology and process, expedite the construction of “Fast Market Access Platform”, actively probe into the commercial operation mode of brands and channels on the basis of the platform, exploit the global market to a further extent, and low and disperse the risks of relevant policy changes as well. 4. Risks of overseas independent registered investment in pesticide products Since the second half of 2008, the Company has begun to study and plan the improvement and upgrading of the Company's sales model and development route, gradually building a sales model integrating the traditional export model of pesticide products with the overseas independent registration model of pesticide products. By the end of this reporting period, the Company was in possession of more than 4900 overseas registration certificates for pesticide products. To register pesticide products independently in various countries, a lot of investment is needed in product research and development, product experiment, registration, etc. However, resulting from various uncertain factors such as economic environment and market demand, the Company find it unable to guarantee that all investment in the registration of overseas pesticide products can attain the expected results in a short period of time. Counter-measures: In light of the medium-and long-term strategic plan, the Company will launch profound research in the target country, learn about crops, diseases, pests and terminal medication habits, dig deep into the pain points of the market, and work out a targeted product registration plan in the target country, including the best -selling products in the target country, the improved and differentiated new preparations of registered crops, and the like. After the product registration plan is prepared, the team of the target country will decode the key tasks level by level to guarantee that the important value in the important market is accurately registered and first acquired, and plan the market entry strategy six months ahead of the registering expected acquisition time to fulfill commercialization. - 29 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company 5. Risk of exchange rate fluctuations The Company's export sales revenue of products makes up a large proportion of the primary business revenue in the corresponding period, and the payment for export sales of products is mostly priced and settled in USD. Thus, the change of exchange rate will leave a certain influence on the Company's profit by changing the Company's product price. Besides, changes in exchange rate will also exert a certain influence on the value of foreign currency assets held by the Company. Thanks to the expanded scale of the Company's overseas market development, the export sales revenue will increase to a further degree. If the exchange rate fluctuates greatly in future, it will impose a certain influence on the Company's performance. The Company will intensify the Company's research on the policies for international trade and exchange rate. At the same time, it will also strengthen the research on the rules of foreign exchange fluctuations, timely carry out foreign exchange forward settlement business, and lock in exchange rate fluctuations. Counter-measures: The Company will put a high premium on the control of exchange rate risks, and hedge and evade exchange rate risks by various means while guaranteeing security and liquidity. For the risk exposure of exchange rates, the Company will actively make use of financial hedging instruments, for example hedging, and reasonably control the risks without taking speculation as the purpose. - 30 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company Section III.

Financial Report I. Audit Report Type of Audit Opinions Standard unqualified opinion Signing Date of the Audit Report Friday, March 24, 2023 Shangkuai Certified Public Accountants (Special General Name of the Audit Institution Partnership) Audit Report Reference No. SKSBZ (2023) No. 1899 Name of CPAs Yu Renqiang, Yin Zuoyong Text of Audit Report Audit Report SKSBZ (2023) No. 1899 To all shareholders of Shandong Weifang Rainbow Chemical Co., Ltd., I. Audit opinions We have audited the attached financial statements of Shandong Weifang Rainbow Chemical Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “Rainbow”), including the consolidated and company balance sheet as of Saturday, December 31, 2022, consolidated and company income statements, consolidated and company cash flow statements, consolidated and company statements of changes in owner’s equity and relevant notes to financial statements of 2022. In our opinion, the attached financial statements are prepared, in all material respects, in accordance with Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises, and give a fair view of the consolidated and financial position of Rainbow as of Saturday, December 31, 2022 and its consolidated operating results and cash flow of 2022. II. Basis of Opinions We implemented audit in accordance with stipulations of the Auditing Standards for Chinese Certified Public Accountants. Our responsibilities under those standards are further explained in the part of "CPA's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements" of this audit report. In accordance with the Code of Ethics for Certified Public Accountants in China, we are independent of Rainbow and fulfill our other ethical responsibilities. We believe that the audit evidences which we have acquired are sufficient and appropriate, which offer basis for the provision of audit opinions. III. Key Matters to be Audited Key matters to be audited are those that we, in our professional judgment, consider to be the most important for the audit of the financial statements for the current period. These matters shall be addressed in the context of audit of the overall financial statements and formation of audit opinion, and we will not express an opinion on these matters separately. Key audit matters we have identified in our audit include: - 40 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company 1. Income recognition (1) Matter description Rainbow is devoted into the research, development, production and sales of plant friendly products, i.e. p esticide active compound. As stated in Notes for Consolidated Financial Statements VI. 42. RMB 14,323,625,816.12 is recorded in main operating income for the year 2022, with an increases of 47.96% compared with the year of 2021. The Company’s income is a considerable amount and has seen a great increase in the current period. Operating income, as a key performance indicator of the Company, has inherent risk that the management manipulates the time point of income recognition in order to achieve a specific goal or expectation. Therefore, we identify income as a key audit matter. (2) Audit response The main audit procedures we implement for income confirmation are as follows: ① Understand the key internal controls related to income recognition, evaluate the design of these controls, determine whether they have been implemented, and test the operational effectiveness of relevant internal controls; ② Have knowledge of the Company’s business model, obtain the Company’s sales income breakdown, carry out revenue analysis procedures, analyze income constituents and compare income, cost, gross margin and other indicators related to main products with the peer data; ③ For the Company’s export income, check accounting vouchers, sales orders, delivery documents, export declarations, bills of lading, sales invoices and other income recognition basis among major customers. For the Company’s domestic sales income, check accounting vouchers, sales contracts, delivery documents, shipment records, customer acceptance records and other income recognition basis among major customers; ④ As per the external confirmations of accounts receivable, send income confirmation requests to selected major customers to verify the truthfulness of the recognized incomes of the Company; ⑤ Perform a cutoff test for major earnings before and after the balance sheet date to check whether the income is recorded in the appropriate accounting period. 2. Provisions for bad debts of accounts receivable (1) Matter description The ending balance of account receivable of Rainbow is a large amount. As stated in Notes for Consolidated Financial Statements VI. 5, as of Saturday, December 31, 2022, RMB 3,399,159,094.52 was recorded in the ending balance of account receivable. RMB 197,455,632.99 is recorded in the ending balance of bad debt provision, and the amount of account receivable is 27.60% of total assets. The management uses significant accounting estimates and judgments in deciding whether the credit risk of account receivable of the Company increases significantly and measuring expected credit loss and estimated recoverable amount of account receivable. Thus, we identify the bad debt provision for accounts receivable as a key audit matter. (2) Audit response The main audit procedures we have implemented for the bad debt provision for accounts receivable are as follows: - 41 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company ① Understand and evaluate management and internal controls related to accounts receivable management, and evaluate the design and operational effectiveness of these internal controls; ② Analyze the rationality of the Company’s accounting estimates for the bad debt provision for accounts receivable, including the basis for determining risk feature portfolios, and the criteria used in bad debt testing for accounts receivable on an individual basis; ③ For the accounts receivable which the bad debt provisions have been made by aging, have knowledge of the Company’s credit policy and its implementation, check the collections of accounts receivable and evaluate the rationality of the bad debt provisions for accounts receivable, by analyzing the aging of accounts receivable and customers’ credibility; ④ For the accounts receivable which the bad debt provisions have been made on an individual basis, check the judgment basis of the management's estimated future recoverable amounts, including but not limited to customers’ credit records, the record of the Company's claims made against China Export & Credit Insurance Corporation, the record of compensations received, the record of customer default or late payment transactions, and analyze and review the rationality of the bad debt provisions that have been made on an individual basis. IV. Other Information The management of Rainbow is responsible for Other Information, which includes the information covered in the 2022 Annual Report of Rainbow, but does not include the financial statements and our audit report. Our audit opinion on the financial statements does not cover the Other Information, and we do not issue any form of verification conclusion on Other Information. In combination with our audit of the financial statements, our responsibility is to read the Other Information. In the process, WE consider whether the Other Information is materially inconsistent with the financial statements or the information we learned during the audit, or whether there is a material mis-statement. Based on the work that we have already done, if we determine that the Other Information contains material mis - statements, we should report the fact. In this regard, we have nothing to report. V. Responsibilities of Management and Those Charged with Governance for the Financial Statements The management of Rainbow is responsible for preparing the financial statements in accordance with the requirements of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises to achieve a fair presentation, and designing, implementing and maintaining necessary internal controls so that there are no material mis -statements caused by fraud or errors in the financial statements. In preparing the financial statement, the management is responsible for assessing Rainbow’s capability to continue as a going concern, disclosing matters related to going concern (if applicable) and using the going concern basis of accounting, unless the management either intends to liquidate Rainbow or to cease operations, or has no realistic alternative. Those charged with governance are responsible for monitoring the financial reporting process of Rainbow. VI. CPA's Responsibilities for the Audit of the Financial Statements - 42 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company Our objective is to obtain reasonable assurance that the financial statements as a whole are free of material mis - statement due to fraud or error, and to issue an audit report that includes our audit opinion. Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but is not a guarantee that an audit conducted in accordance with audit standards will always detect a material mis-statement when it exists. The mis-statement may be caused by fraud or errors. If each or all of the mis-statement could reasonably be expected to influence the economic decisions of users taken on the basis of these financial statements, it is generally deemed as material mis-statement. We exercise professional judgment and maintain professional skepticism in carrying out our audit in accordance with audit standards. At the same time, we also do the following work: 1. Identify and assess the risks of material mis-statement of the financial statements 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 mis-statement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting from error, as fraud may involve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions, mis-representations, or the override of internal control. 2. Understand the internal controls related to auditing, in order to design appropriate audit procedures. 3. Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the reasonableness of accounting estimates and related disclosures made by the management of Rainbow. 4. Conclude on the appropriateness of using the going concern assumption by the management of Rainbow. At the same time, based on the audit evidence obtained, a conclusion shall be drawn on whether a material uncertainty exists related to events or conditions that may cast significant doubt on the ability of Rainbow to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that a material uncertainty exists, according to audit standards, we are required to draw attention in our audit report of related disclosures in the consolidated financial statements or, if such disclosures are inadequate, to modify our opinion.]If we conclude that there is material uncertainty, the audit standards require us to bring relevant disclosures in our audit report, in order to draw the attention of the financial statements users .If disclosure is inadequate, we should express unqualified opinions. Our conclusion is based on the information available as of the audit report date. However, future events or conditions may cause Rainbow to cease to continue as a going concern. 5. Evaluate the overall presentation, structure and content of the financial statements, including the disclosures, and evaluate whether the financial statements fairly reflect relevant transactions and events. 6. Obtain sufficient and appropriate audit evidence regarding the financial information of Rainbow in entities and business activities to express an audit opinion on the consolidated financial statements. We are responsible for guidance, supervision and implementation of the group audit and take full responsibility for the audit opinions. We have communicated with those charged with governance regarding the planned scope and schedule of the au dit, and significant audit matters, including any significant audit deficiencies in internal control that we identify during our audit. We have also provided declarations to those charged with governance that we have complied with professional ethics requirements relating to independence, and communicated with them all relationships and other matters that may reasonably be considered to affect our independence, as well as relevant preventive measures (where appropriate). - 43 - Annual Report 2022 To be a Global Leading Crop Protection Company For the matters communicated with those charged with governance, we determine which matters are most important to the audit of the financial statements for the current period, and thus constituted the key audit matters. We describe these matters in our audit report, unless the public disclosure of these matters is prohibited by laws and regulations, or in rare cases, if it is reasonably expected that the negative consequences caused by communication of certain matters in our audit report outweigh benefits generated in public interest, we confirm that such matters should not be communicated in our audit reports.
