Section II. 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:
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).
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).
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.

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.
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
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
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.
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.
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.

Reasons for raw material price changes from the previous reporting period
In 2021, affected by the "dual control” policy on energy consumption, the prices of raw materials used in the chemical
industry rose, breaking an all-time record. In 2022, the market prices fell.
III. Analysis of Core Competitiveness
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.

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”.
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.
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.
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.
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.
advantages of "light structure, and fast response".
The Company has built a complete industrial chain involving research and development of active ingredients,
manufacturing, branding towards the global market, trading channels, sales and services from the factory to the farm.
The Company also has a thorough understanding of the whole industrial chain and can make values in each section. By

VII. 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:
- 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.
(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.
(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
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.
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.
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.
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
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.

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) 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.
(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
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:
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.
related disclosures made by the management of Rainbow.
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.
evaluate whether the financial statements fairly reflect relevant transactions and events.
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.
