One. Letter to Shareholders

We would like to thank all shareholders for taking time out of their busy schedules to attend the 2026 annual general meeting.

The Company's 2025 revenue was NT$8.96 billion, an increase of NT$3.67 billion from 2024, with a growth rate of 69.32%; net profit after tax reached NT$153 million, a decrease of 44.86% from 2024, and earnings per share were NT$2.3.

In 2025, continued growth in demand for AI-related applications and high-performance computing (HPC) drove stable increases in demand for AI servers, data centers, network communication equipment, and industrial control applications, leading to significant growth in the Company's overall revenue. However, due to the overall economic environment and exchange rate fluctuations, the appreciation of NTD resulted in an exchange loss, which affected overall profitability.

The Company will continue to strengthen its position in industrial control and IoT-related application fields, accelerate the integration of agency product line resources, expand the scope of applications to leverage product synergies, and enhance the completeness of high-end integrated solutions. In the future, the Company will focus on high value-added markets related to AI applications, AI edge computing, automated testing, and industrial control, and actively plan for smart medical, 5G communications, and energy storage applications. We will deepen the integrated application development of "AI + IoT + 5G," continuously strengthen technical service capabilities and product added value, improve overall operational efficiency and profitability, and promote the Company's long-term stable growth.

We are persistent in achieving our development goals. We have continued to develop and strive for product lines after the consolidation of the original manufacturers, and fully utilized the Group's resources to cultivate relationships with customers and expand the market development efforts for the brands we distribute. We are committed to building our company into a leading position and creating greater value for our shareholders. Please continue to show us your support and encouragement, and witness continuous growth and development of the Company together.

The following is a summary of the Company's 2025 year business results and 2026 year business plan:

I. Business results

(I) Implementation results of business plan

The Company's business results for 2025 are shown in the following table:

Unit: NT$ thousand; %

Item\Year 2025 2024 Change percentage
Operating revenue 8,959,308 5,291,435 69.32
Operating gross profit 998,821 686,560 45.48
Net operating profit 613,234 328,382 86.74
Net profit after tax 152,973 277,449 (44.86)
Earnings per share (NT$) 2.30 4.16 (44.71)

The Company's operating revenue for 2025 reached NT$8.96 billion, a significant increase of 69.32% from 2024. This was mainly driven by the growing popularity of AI server applications, increased demand for CoWoS advanced packaging, and a rebound in industrial control demand, which led to simultaneous growth in testing equipment, liquid cooling systems, and power management applications.

In the first half of 2025, the international financial market fluctuated more severely due to the impact of the US equivalent tariff policy and the uncertain global trade situation, driving changes in capital flow and causing the NTD to appreciate rapidly against the USD in the short term. The Company suffered a large exchange loss due to its foreign currency asset position, resulting in a decline in profits in 2025 compared to 2024.


The above impact was mainly caused by exchange rate fluctuations, not by a change in the Company's operational fundamentals. In response to the risk of exchange rate fluctuations, the Company has further reviewed its foreign exchange exposure position and strengthened its exchange rate risk management measures, including adjusting its foreign currency asset and liability structure, to reduce the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on its future financial performance.

(II) Budget implementation status

The Company did not disclose its financial forecast for 2025 while the actual business conditions did not differ materially from the Company's internal planning.

(III) Financial receipts and expenditures and profitability analysis.

1. Financial receipts and expenditures

The increase in net cash outflow from operating activities in 2025 was mainly due to the expansion of operational scale and the increase in accounts receivable and inventory. For investment activities, net cash inflow decreased mainly due to adjustments to foreign currency asset positions to align with the foreign exchange risk management strategy, which resulted in relatively lower interest income. The decrease in net cash inflow from financing activities was due to higher cash dividend payments this year.

Unit: Thousands of NTD

Item\Year 2025 2024
Net Profit before tax for the period 188,905 342,103
Net cash (used in) generated from operating activities (1,526,162) 376,437
Cash flows from investing activities 45,620 61,388
Net cash generated from financing activities 392,250 829,508
Net (decrease) increase in cash and cash equivalents (1,088,292) 1,267,333
Balance of cash and cash equivalents at the beginning of the year 1,889,754 622,421
Ending cash and cash equivalents 801,462 1,889,754

2. Profitability analysis

The Company's operating revenue for 2025 grew significantly compared to 2024, indicating a continuous expansion of the overall operational scale. However, due to the overall economic environment and exchange rate fluctuations, the NTD appreciated significantly during the year, resulting in an exchange loss that affected profits. Therefore, profitability indicators were slightly lower compared to the same period last year.

Unit: %

Item\Year 2025 2024
Return on assets 2.76 4.95
Return on shareholders' equity 7.85 14.65
Operating profit to paid-in capital ratio 92.02 49.28
Net profit before tax to paid-in capital ratio 28.35 51.34
Net profit margin 1.71 5.24
After-tax earnings per share (NTD) 2.30 4.16

(IV) Research and development status

The Company’s technical team specializes in new technology research, dedicated to providing comprehensive technical support services to assist customers in resolving various issues encountered during product development. Services include component selection recommendations, circuit design, system optimization, providing test versions, and technical troubleshooting.

Additionally, the team continuously develops new product lines to offer more complete and competitive product options, meeting customers’ diverse needs.

II. Summary of the 2026 business plan

(I) Business policies

The Company's 2026 business policies are as follows:

  1. Continue to expand the product line and deepen cooperation with suppliers to create a competitive and complete product supply chain.
  2. Expand product application markets to more sectors, enhancing market coverage.
  3. Leverage group resources, cultivate customer relationships, expand customer base, and increase market influence.
  4. Strengthen talent development to lay the foundation for company growth.

(II) Estimated sales volume and its basis

The Company has not made public its financial forecast. The sales volume is estimated by referencing to the forecast of the market situation for 2026 by each supplier and the Company's assessment of customer demand, and based on the Company's expected achievement of the target, taking into account the overall industry and economic conditions, and adjusted according to the achievement status.

(III) Sales policy

The Company's sales policy focuses on industrial control customers and is divided into five main fields: analog logic, digital, audio and video transmission, defense and aerospace, and computer peripherals. In addition to optimizing existing product lines, the Company is actively developing new product lines to offer integrated services. Our goal is to provide one-stop shopping services to customers, increasing market share and profitability.

III. Impact of the external competitive environment, regulatory environment and overall business environment

As an agency business, the Company has seen original manufacturers constantly changing the agency landscape through M&A in recent years, requiring agencies to provide value-added services to remain competitive in the industry. The Company has been providing technical support to customers, developing markets, and creating demand for a long time. Additionally, it has formed an alliance with the Japanese Macnica Group. The external competition and the overall business environment have not had a significant impact on the Company, nor have any regulations had a significant impact on the Company.

IV. Future development strategy of the Company

In addition to continuously developing and actively pursuing product lines following manufacturer consolidations, the Company also fully utilizes Group resources to cultivate customer relationships and expand the customer base. Furthermore, we provide comprehensive and competitive solutions to cover a broader application market, constantly increasing market share while strengthening company brand recognition, thereby enhancing shareholder value and overall corporate competitiveness.

While pursuing stable operations and continuous growth, we are keenly aware that sustainable management is the Company's long-term goal. With the latest establishment of the Sustainability Management Department, the Company will gradually implement green operations and GHG reduction, and continue to create a high-quality workplace environment for the physical and mental health of employees. At the same time, we will also connect with group resources to continue to strengthen the Company's corporate operational structure and operational resilience from the system and practical aspects, and enhance its sustainability impact and competitiveness.

The Company closely integrates sustainability strategies with its daily core business operations, seeking to create positive environmental and social value while driving innovation within the industry.

  1. Board diversity and independence:

As we advocate for a board diversity policy, to strengthen corporate governance and


facilitate the development of the composition and structure of the board, we have required in Article 20 of the Corporate Governance Best-Practice Principles that the composition of the Board of Directors shall be based on the diversity principle, and that the number of directors as the Company's managers concurrently may not exceed one-third of all directors, if possible, among other requirements for the basic composition, professional backgrounds, professional skills, and industry experience.

To achieve the desired goals of corporate governance, the Board of Directors must possess "operational judgment ability," "business judgment ability," "leadership ability," "decision-making ability," "industry knowledge," "international market perspective," "accounting and financial capability," "crisis management ability," and "risk management knowledge and ability."

(1) Board diversity:

The board members are nominated through a rigorous selection process depending on the scale of the Company's business development and practical operational needs, with their diverse backgrounds, professional abilities and experience, as well as moral reputation and leadership taken into account.

We have nine directors on the board, of which about $44\%$ are also employees, around $33\%$ are independent directors, and $33\%$ are female directors.

Of the nine directors, one is in the age range of 61-70 years old, three are in the age range of 51-60 years old, and five are in the age range of 41-50 years old.

Among of the three seats of independent directors, two have a service tenure of about 7 years, and the other one has a tenure of about 1 years.

The Company's policy management objectives are as follows:

Goals for diversified policy management Achievement status
Less than half of the independent directors have served three terms or less. Achieved
At least one-half of the seats are held by independent directors with legal, accounting, or technological expertise. Achieved
The number of director seats not concurrently held by company managers is greater than the number of director seats concurrently held by company managers. Achieved

Item State of implementation
1. Describe the monitoring and governance of climate-related risks and opportunities between the Board and management. The Company's Board of Directors consists of nine members, including three independent directors, representing 33% of all director seats, and the chairman serves as the chairperson. The Board of Directors is responsible for ultimate oversight of the Company's climate-related risks and opportunities, including assessing the impact of climate change on the Company's business model and ensuring and strengthening the operation and effectiveness of its climate-related risk management mechanisms.
To strengthen the effectiveness of climate governance and sustainability management, the Company's Board of Directors established a "Sustainable Development Committee" chaired by an independent director. The chairperson is responsible for the overall management and promotion of corporate governance, environmental protection, climate change, and labor rights issues. The Committee reports directly to the Board of Directors on climate-related governance plans and implementation results to ensure that company strategies and sustainability goals are consistent.
The Board of Directors and the Sustainable Development Committee hold regular meetings each year to review and report on the ESG performance and climate change-related issues, impact assessments, and progress toward sustainable goals, and continue to refine their approach based on guidance from the Board of Directors. The Board of Directors is responsible for overseeing the overall climate governance structure and strategy. In doing so, we ensure that climate risks and opportunities are incorporated into the Company's decision-making process to enhance corporate resilience and long-term competitiveness.
2. Describe how the identified climate risks and opportunities affect the Company's business operations, strategies, and finances (short-, medium-, and long-term). Through the Sustainable Development Committee, the Company discussed potential operational transformations, physical risks, and opportunities resulting from climate change factors with various units during TCFD (Task Force on Climate-Related Financial Disclosures) discussions. We have identified potential transformation risks (six items in total) and physical risks (one item in total) and potential opportunities caused by climate change factors.
The Company has fully integrated climate-related risk and opportunity identification and assessment procedures into its existing overall risk management process, and incorporated them alongside other operational risks and opportunities to ensure a consistent and complete management mechanism. The Company uses the "probability of occurrence (Y-axis)" and "degree of operational impact (X-axis)" as core evaluation criteria, quantifying each risk and opportunity with a weight of 1 to 5. Based on these evaluations, the Company ranks risks and opportunities and creates a matrix of key risks and key opportunities to inform management decision-making and strategy implementation.
Under this framework, the Company selects the top two to three short-, medium-, and long-term risk and opportunity issues to be the key climate-related risks and opportunities for this assessment. However, given the high level of international concern regarding climate issues and the potential impact of climate change on long-term business operations and industrial development, the Company also includes some highly relevant issues within the scope of disclosure, including changes in customer behavior, rising average temperatures, and sea level rise.

According to the Climate Change Response Act, starting in 2025, the annual GHG emissions of entities subject to the carbon fee will be factored into the fee calculation. Beginning in 2026, the carbon fee will be implemented in phases based on the level of emissions. According to the Climate Change Response Act, carbon fee collection has been implemented from 2025 onward, and is expected to affect the Company's operating costs by less than 1%. The increase in the purchase of renewable energy and carbon credits is expected to affect the Company's operating costs by less than 1%. According to the “Regulations Governing the Charge of Carbon Fees” announced by the Ministry of Environment in August 2024, Taiwan began a trial carbon fee system in 2025, initially levied on entities with annual emissions exceeding 25,000 tons, at NT$300 per ton, and reviewed every two years. If the inclusion threshold is lowered to 0 metric tons in 2030 and the fee rate is increased to NT$500 per metric ton, the annual carbon fee expenditure would be approximately NT$226,000 based on the Company's 2025 Scope 1 and Scope 2 emissions of 451.8090 metric tons. Conduct a GHG inventory to analyze current emissions and set reduction targets. Continue to promote green office practices and energy conservation in the office (such as installing LED energy-saving lamps, turning off lights and electronics when not in use, and switching off lights during lunch breaks). Set a carbon reduction target, using 2026 as the base year, and reduce emissions by 1% annually from 2027 (2027-1%, 2028-2%, 2029-3%, 2030-4%). Assess and introduce renewable energies to lower imported electricity emissions.

Companies are shifting to low-carbon energy and materials to replace existing resources. Regulations for international carbon fees/taxes are gradually being implemented, which increased the cost of various materials and services, leading to “greenflation.” Related costs are expected to be passed on to product prices, resulting in an increase in annual operating costs. Continue to observe changes in international and governmental energy policies, and evaluate the feasibility of introducing low-carbon energy.

(III) The Company's dividend policy and implementation

  1. Dividend policy

As per the earnings distribution policy under the Company's Articles of Incorporation, where the Company makes a profit for a fiscal year, the profit shall be first used for paying taxes, offsetting a cumulative deficit, providing 10% of the remaining profit as a legal reserve unless it has reached the total amount of the Company's paid-in capital, providing an amount for or reversing a special reserve in accordance with laws and regulations, and then any remaining profit, together with any undistributed retained earnings, shall be adopted by the Company's Board of Directors as the basis for making a distribution proposal (not lower than 10% of the year's cumulative distributable earnings), which shall then be submitted to the shareholders' meeting for a resolution before the distribution of the shareholder dividends.

When the Company provides a special reserve as per law, regarding the shortfall of the "net increase in the fair value of investment property accumulated in the prior period" and the "net deduction of other equity interests accumulated in the prior period," the same amounts of special reserves shall be provided from the undistributed earnings of the prior period. If there is still a shortfall, a special reserve shall be provided from the amount of the current period's after-tax net income, plus the amounts other than the current period's after-tax net income, added to the current undistributed earnings.

Where the dividends or dividends from the legal reserves and the capital surplus referred to in the first paragraph are paid out in cash, the Board of Directors may be delegated to carry it out, with a resolution adopted by more than half of the directors present at a board meeting attended by more than two-thirds of all directors and report to the shareholders' meeting.

Furthermore, as per the Articles of Incorporation, as the business environment where the Company is located is stable and growing, based on the future business expansion and investment plans, we may pay out dividends in two ways: capitalization of earnings and cash dividends. Cash dividends to be paid out shall not be lower than 20% of the total dividends to be paid out. However, if the cash dividend per share is NT$0.2 or lower, it may not be paid out, and the payout may be carried out with stock dividends instead. It shall be then submitted to the shareholders' meeting for resolution.

In addition, the Company's other relevant products, such as fiber optic modules, high-speed audio/video extend products, industrial-grade network products, AI and environmental sensors. All of this aims to push the Company to continue to grow and gradually expand our market share.


(II) Industry overview

  1. Current situation and development of the industry

The product lines represented by the Company are roughly divided into the following six categories:

(1) Analog and mixed signal ICs.
(2) System-on-chip (SoC) and field-programmable gate array (FPGA) products.
(3) High-end audio/video extend systems.
(4) High-definition multimedia interface (HDMI) chips.
(5) Radio Frequency (RF), Microwave (MW)
(6) Generative AI (Gen AI), Physical AI

The following is a description of the current situation and development of the above six categories of products:

(1) Analog and mixed signal ICs.

We live in an analog world, including sound volume, light brightness, weight, temperature, and pressure, all of which are analog signals. The format recognized by computers is digital signals of 0 and 1, so analog signals usually need to be moderately processed, such as the extraction and amplification of weak signals, filtering, sampling, and analog to digital or digital to analog conversion, to convert the analog signals into digital signals that can be recognized by computers. The computer calculation results are usually converted into an analog that human beings understand through the digital-to-analog converter (e.g. the fan speed becomes faster, the indoor lighting becomes brighter) and output. There are many types of analog ICs, such as digital-to-analog converters (DAC), analog-to-digital converters (ADC), amplifiers, multiplexers, and temperature sensors, as well as the main product of domestic analog IC design companies – power management ICs.

Analog and mixed-signal ICs are very different from digital ICs in terms of design. Because of the great difficulty in design, such IC developers need to go through a long period of technological development and accumulate experience to design products in line with the specifications. Therefore, the entry threshold for such ICs is relatively high, and that is why analog and mixed-signal ICs create higher product gross margins.

(2) SoC and FPGA products

The software programmability of the ARM processors and the hardware programmability of field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) are perfectly integrated in system-on-chip (SoC) products to enable integrated hardware-software system performance with built-in logic flexibility, expandability and lower power consumption, lower costs, and shorter time to market. Unlike traditional SoC processing solutions, its highly flexible programmable logic enables can optimize and differentiate products with accelerators.

As for FPGAs, with the evolution of semiconductor technology, AMD has developed innovative products that can integrate a large number of logic circuits with software and integrate and realize logic circuits with integrated circuit single-chips. This technology improves the integration, flexibility, and overall performance of digital circuit systems, and the internal structure can be modified depending on different needs without changing the hardware circuit. Due to the large capacity of logic gates in FPGA, it is usually used for functional verification during IC design or to directly replace a large number of logic gate circuits or go with specific functions/image intellectual property (IPs) as an indispensable component to achieve flexible and shorter time to market. The applications are extensive, ranging from aerospace, military, semiconductor equipment testing, industrial computers, instruments, communication systems, high-definition videos, and medical care to storage devices, etc..

98


(3) High-end audio/video extend systems

As intelligent offices, home audio-visual theaters, and other high-performance audio-visual systems have become more common, the demand for audio-visual transmission equipment with new specifications continues to increase. With advanced image transmission equipment, a meeting in the office can be transmitted to colleagues or clients in different regions by video, enabling real-time interaction and saving time and money spent on transportation. Remote control facilities are adopted to display real-time information or moving product commercials from a central system at crowded airports or stations to maximize the spreading of information and commercial effect. The quality of existing broadcasting devices will be improved with a lower installation cost to improve the business communication and visual effect; as a result, image quality will be comparable to that of a cinema.

The innovative HD-BaseT video transmission and H.264/H.265 video compression technologies are the main solutions for high-end video transmission products. The high definition of 8k x 4k and the wiring method of long-distance coaxial cables or optical fiber allow for improvement of the specifications of office video conferencing, home audio-visual theaters, and other high-performance business audio-visual systems, to meet the needs for high-end audio-visual transmission.

(4) HDMI chips

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface) is an all-digital audio/video transmission standard used to transmit uncompressed high-definition video and multi-channel digital audio. HDMI integrates video, audio, and control signals into a single interface, and it is currently the most common consumer and professional audio/video transmission standard. A popular audio-video transmission interface used in home appliances and consumer products. HDMI supports high-resolution video and multi-channel high-frequency audio, giving consumers a better audio-visual experience. HDMI also supports the dual-way transmission of the Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) function. The HDMI cable can be used to control the equipment connected with each other and the ones supporting the CEC protocol. In addition, the ARC (Audio Return Channel) function can also be used. The display can use the ARC function to return the audio signal to the family movie theater and other devices through the same HDMI cable, reducing the use of excessive wires.

In addition to its smaller and more compact form, HDMI's innovation lies in its ability to transmit both video and audio simultaneously. Unlike analog signals, which require one cable for video and one cable for audio, now a single HDMI cable can be used for video and audio transmission. HDMI has also gone through many revisions, from version 1.0 to the current version 2.1, allowing HDMI to deliver higher quality and greater throughput.

(5) Radio Frequency (RF), Microwave (MW)

The Radio Frequency (RF) falls between 20 KHz ~ 300 GHz. The core technology includes the use of frequency modulation/coupling/mixing/frequency multiplying and power amplification/splitting/switching, etc. Wireless communication/measurement instrumentation/microwave energy and other related applications require devices with this type of technology.

The demand for wireless communications is increasing day by day, ranging from LTE/5G/6G equipment and terminal devices, antenna modules and signal converters for satellite communications/radar, head-end equipment for cable broadband systems, radio frequency measurement instruments, to factory automated test equipment, etc., all of which require radio frequency components to provide signal transmission and processing technology. It is expected that the components will continue to develop with higher frequency bands and expand market areas.

99


(6) Generative AI (Gen AI), Physical AI

Generative AI (GenAI) is an artificial intelligence technology that can be trained on large amounts of data, learn patterns and structures, and then create new content (such as text, images, music, code). GenAI represents a major advancement for AI, shifting it from "analysis" to "creation," and it is commonly seen in applications, such as ChatGPT, Gemini, and Midjourney. GenAI is able to significantly improve content creation and work efficiency.

Physical AI enables real-time learning and adjustment of automated systems through sensors, data models, and reinforcement learning. This technology has been widely used in:

Medical field: Smart surgical robotic arm, patient assistance device
- Transportation industry: Advanced autonomous vehicle technology and accident prevention system
Retail logistics: Warehouse management and customer interaction robot
- Manufacturing industry: Smart production line and self-adaptive assembly system
- Disaster response: Search and rescue and disposal robots for dangerous areas

  1. Relations between the up-, mid-, and downstream industries

(1) Diagram of relations between the up-, mid-, and downstream industries

Upstream

Suppliers of for industrial, network communication, consumer electronic, and optoelectronic electronic components, and electronic components for computer peripherals.

Midstream

Professional semiconductor and electronic component distributors

Downstream

Manufacturers for industrial, network communication, consumer electronic, and optoelectronic equipment, and equipment for computer peripherals.

(2) The Company is an agent and distributor of semiconductor components as a bridge in the midstream industry between upstream semiconductor suppliers and downstream finished product manufacturers. The relations between upstream and downstream industries are specified below:

For upstream component suppliers, distributors should highly cooperate with their product sales, create demand and technical support and integrate market information to establish a suitable supply and demand chain with each supplier. As a result, suppliers can develop more competitive semiconductor and electronic components and make up for the shortage of their manpower and services, thereby providing clients with better technical support and sales services and helping increase their market share.

For downstream product equipment manufacturers, distributors not only provide technical services but provide product application positioning services and total solutions, enabling manufacturers to develop products with competitive functions and competitive prices and make the most of distributors' channels for sales. Also, distributors provide inventory services to reduce manufacturers' inventory costs and reduce the risks that they need to assume in their business.

As far as Taiwan's distributors are concerned, semiconductor component distributors and agents serve as a bridge between upstream original equipment manufacturers and downstream manufacturers so that they are more sensitive to world-renowned upstream semiconductor manufacturers' or downstream system clients' business trends, market product development trends, and the changes in the business cycle of the semiconductor industry, and can respond faster compared with other electronics industries. Semiconductor products have been widely applied to all industries, and its market scale has continued to grow rapidly, which also resulted in obvious changes in the distribution.


Therefore, how to keep abreast the changing trends of the industry structure and the competitive environment and understand various distributors' characteristics, conditions, and competitive advantages are an important part of managing semiconductor product distributors.

3. Various product development trends

Analogy refers to the things that human beings can feel in the real world, and analog signals include sound, light, audio/visual, temperature, speed, mass, and physical quantity. In the era of digitization, the conversion between analog and digital signals is becoming more important. For example, sounds are digitized and burned onto CDs for storage but still need to be converted into analog signals before they can be listened to, and the temperature and speed are quantified into numerical values for easy recording or control. As a result, our daily lives are always between analog and digital signals.

After physical quantization, complex computation, controls, and conversions can be conducted digitally. At this time, digital signal processors: DSP and FPGA with powerful computing functions are required, e.g. smartphones, game consoles, industrial monitors, instruments, and medical testing and analysis devices currently on the market all require powerful digital signal processors.

In the era of knowledge explosion, information from all over the world is transmitted rapidly through mobile phones, TVs, mobile networks. At present, 4G/5G mobile networks are the fastest and most convenient means. Either companies or homes/wired or wireless transmission, information needs to be shared through routers or 4G/5G networks.

With the generation of massive knowledge data and the popularization of high-speed network transmission, the rapid development of artificial intelligence (AI) in recent years has further reshaped the development direction of terminal products. If digitization and networking are the backbone and nerves of products, then AI is the key core that gives these devices a "brain." This has prompted hardware products to increasingly incorporate dedicated AI acceleration chips (such as NPUs) in addition to the original DSP or FPGA, allowing smartphones, surveillance cameras, and even smart wearable devices to perform real-time voice recognition, image analysis, and decision-making even when offline.

The product development of the future is not simply about pursuing digitization or upgrading hardware specifications but moving toward an intelligent ecosystem with highly integrated powerful edge computing, high-speed network transmission, and AI algorithms. People's lives will be inextricably linked with these digital devices that have perception and learning ability.

The development trend of each product is briefly described below:

(1) Analog components: ADI

At present, in the global semiconductor industry, most of the analog components are manufactured by overseas manufacturers, including ADI, TI, ST, Japan's Renesas, NXP in the Netherlands, all of which are very famous analog semiconductor manufacturers.

Analog components, including various precision operational amplifiers and high-speed, RF, differential, and instrumentation amplifiers, ADCs, and DACs, etc., are used to quantify analog signals in reality and convert them into digital data for transmission, storage, computation, and comparison, to streamline all kinds of inconveniences in the analog world. For example, to quantify the weight of an item, we only need to put the item on an electronic scale, and the number will be displayed, rather than comparing many items with different mass values.

The Company currently represents ADI's products, which is one of the world's leading analog component manufacturers, and the market share of its operational amplifiers is the largest in the world.

(2) Digital signal processor (DSP): ADI

DSP refers to signal processing technology in the early days. It was not until 1982 that DSP has been adopted as the name of a new high-speed processor. Initially, the application of DSP was limited to professional data communication and voice processing. However, the gradual expansion of digital technology in the consumer electronics market has served as a new stage for DSP, and it has occupied a critical position as the core engine of digital information products. With the advancement of DSP technology, new application products will continue to emerge and be adopted in our daily lives. DSP-based and programmable solutions are available to be adopted by


general digital consumer electronic product manufacturers. Some of the more important features include:

  • High flexibility
    Manufacturers can simply change the software codes to achieve different application performance without investing heavily in the development of customized ICs. For example, MotionJPEG, MPEG4, H.264, as well as encoding/decoding switching can be carried out on the same platform without multiple ASICs.

  • Reduction of resource waste by manufacturers in IC manufacturing processes
    Compared with the great deal of time and money put in the customization and modification of ASIC hardware, programmable solutions allow software to achieve the same system performance at lower costs and with less time.

  • Shortest time to market
    DSP applications are applied widely, ranging from special-purpose military radars, missiles, medical care products, to general consumer electronics, such as digital cameras, VOIP, PMP, DVR, digital TV, mobile players, digital radios, and set-top boxes. More applications will have DSP adopted, including motor control (sensorless DC brushless motors, switching backup motors, and variable reluctance motors), network connection devices, automotive products (car audio systems, parking assistance systems, lane departure warning system (LDWS), automotive computers, noise reduction systems, active damping control systems), multi-function phones (caller identification, echo/noise cancellation, dual-tone multi-frequency (DTMF)), digital answering machines (speech compressors), line interface cards (echo cancellation), POS terminals (encryption or dial-up softmodems), vending machines (softmodems or coin identification systems), biosecurity systems (e.g. fingerprint identification), uninterruptible power supply systems, power supply management systems, and natural human-machine interfaces (speech recognition/synthesis systems).

With accelerated digitization, DSP can be applied to more digital consumer electronic products. There will be more digital electronic products with powerful functions at lower prices in the future market. In the rising consumer electronics market, DSP will create a more sophisticated digital world for a large number of consumers.

The global market of general-purpose digital signal processors is still dominated by TI, Analog Devices, and Freescale.

(3) SoC and FPGA products.
Xilinx's main products, FPGAs and SoCs, are mainly applied in aerospace, industrial standards, artificial intelligence (AI), edge computing, 5G/satellite wireless communications, and are integrated with AMD's expertise in high-performance computing to seize business opportunities in data centers. After AMD acquires Xilinx, the new AMD will have a complete line of products, ranging from CPUs, GPUs, FPGAs, and SoCs to software, with its business spanning many fields such as personal computers, data centers, 5G/satellite communications, automotive chips, game products, as well as aerospace and national defense products. From game consoles to supercomputers, AMD has it all. The cost of semiconductor chip design increases as the manufacturing process evolves. Due to the cost-effective factors, ASIC and ASSP are being replaced by FPGA/SoC. FPGA/SoC provides flexible, highly integrated, and low-risk solutions and enables short time to market to digital system designers worldwide. FPGA/SoC has become a platform for various higher-level system-level functions and will dominate the development of the logic device industry in the future.

AMD-Embedded Group represented by the Company, is the world's leading U.S. supplier of total programmable logic solutions. AMD develops, manufactures, and sells

103


a wide range of programmable ICs, software design tools, and intellectual property (IP) as pre-defined system functions. Customers use AMD and automated software tools and IP to program the devices to carry out specific logic operations. AMD's programmable logic solutions reduce the risks assumed by electronic device manufacturers by reducing the product development time and the time to market. With AMD's programmable devices, clients can design and verify their circuits faster compared with the traditional methods, such as gate array. Also, as AMD components are standard parts that only need to be programmed, clients do not need to wait for samples or bear a huge cost as they did with gate array.

AMD adopts TSMC's highly advanced technology to integrate ARM/FPGA digital and high-speed analog RF technology to create the Zynq® UltraScale+™ RF SoC, while launching products with higher RF performance and greater expandability. On the basis of the successful experience of basic Zynq UltraScale+ RFSoC products in multiple markets, it has evolved to the fourth-generation RFSoC DFE. The new-generation components can cover all sub-7.125GHz frequency bands, meeting the critical needs for establishing a new generation of 5G networks and WiFi7. The new component supports direct RF sampling and includes a 14-bit ADC with sampling up to five billion times per second (GS/S) and a 14-bit DAC with sampling up to 10 billion times per second. The analog signal bandwidth of both is as high as 7.125GHz. Building upon this success, AMD has further launched the Versal™ AI RF series. The platform introduces the "AI engine" (AIE) designed specifically for AI calculation, which delivers outstanding digital signal processing performance and power efficiency ratio. The Versal RF series that followed pushes performance to the extreme. Its RF-ADC sampling rate reaches 32 GSPS, while the analog bandwidth expands to over 18 GHz, directly supporting high-frequency applications such as Ku-band and satellite communications, thereby simplifying the design of millimeter-wave systems.

AMD's adaptive compute acceleration platform (ACAP) has ushered in a new era of rapid innovation for all developers developing any applications. Versal ACAP integrates a scalar processing engine, a self-adjusting hardware engine, and an intelligent engine, as well as cutting-edge memory and interface technology, which can provide powerful heterogeneous accelerated functions for all applications. Versal ACAP's both hardware and software can be programmed and optimized by software developers, data scientists, and hardware developers thanks to its series of tools, software, libraries, IP, middleware and frameworks in line with the industry standard design flow.

With TSMC's 7nm FinFET process technology, the Versal product mix is the first platform that has combined software programmability and domain-specific hardware acceleration and adaptability, which is essential to catch up with today's rapid innovation process. The product mix consists of six series of devices whose unique architecture enables expandability and AI inference for numerous applications in different markets, ranging from cloud, the internet, wireless communications, edge computing to endpoints.

With the explosive development of AI and big data and the slowdown of Moore's law, the industry has reached a critical turning point. The chip design cycle has already been unable to catch up with the innovation pace. After four years of development, Versal is the industry's first ACAP. We have uniquely designed it to support all types of developers to accelerate their applications with optimized hardware and software, while equipping it with real-time flexibility to keep pace with the rapid development of technology.

AMD released Versal Premium VP1902, the world's largest chip. Compared to Xilinx Virtex UltraScale+ VU19P, the previous generation, Versal, an AI dedicated processor, has been added, doubling performance specifications. Chiplet has been adopted, and the size is about $77 \times 77 \mathrm{~mm}$ , with 18.5 million logical units and dedicated

104


Arm core for controlling plane operation and assistance with the calibration of the PCB network. The supply of AMD was fully completed in early 2024. Meanwhile, AMD provides source codes for the open source code communities, such as Linux, FreeRTOS, OpenAMP, Yocto, QEMU, and XEN. Furthermore, AMD's software development kit (SDK), PetaLinux's tools, and runtime drivers and libraries make the comprehensive product lines more complete and the application development much easier.

AMD also introduced the Kria System-on-Module (SOM), an integrated embedded, pluggable, credit card-sized Arm SoC-based solution. When the SOM is used with a low-complexity printed circuit board carrier card designed by the end user, it only needs to adopt a simple set of open connectors to solve the connection and additional component requirements of the user's terminal system, and it can be integrated into systems deployed in mass production.

In response to the stringent requirements for cost and energy efficiency at the edge, AMD introduced the Spartan UltraScale+ series. This new generation FPGA brings 16nm FinFET architecture to the entry-level market, offering the industry's highest I/O density. It also introduces—for the first time—a security mechanism supporting post-quantum cryptography (PQC) while reducing power consumption by 30%, providing a secure and cost-effective solution for applications such as machine vision, industrial automation, and medical imaging.

(6) Fiber optical communication products: Finisar

Finisar, with its more than three decades of expertise and successful mass production experience in the optical technology field to transform the future of communications technology. The markets benefiting from the use of optical devices are as follows:

  • Optimized fiber-optic solutions to data center applications

The network structure and size of data centers are experiencing rapid changes. Considerable investments made are to develop new optical modules to satisfy the demand for ever-increasing bandwidth, low power consumption, and wider coverage. Much more fiber-optic network has been established than ever before. The transmission speed of modern data centers is 10 Gb/s or higher is common, surpassing the transmission speed of electrified or connected copper cables. In today's data center market, optical modules need to be used extensively to connect servers, switches, and storage devices. Multimode fiber (MMF) continues to be used for data centers where the connection distances are within 300 meters at the lowest cost and with the lowest power consumption for troubleshooting connections. Active optical cables enable a simple and low-cost solution to connection with a coverage range of fewer than 20 meters. Within the range, Finisar's Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) technology has been widely used in optical fiber communication transceivers, and its reliability and performance have been verified to meet the modern data centers' needs.

For the long-range coverage with single-mode fiber (SMF), Finisar provides a wide range of leading and innovative product mixes. Such fiber-optic solutions are suitable for applications in data centers as well as bridging longer distances between data centers. Such products can support 10G Ethernet, 40G Ethernet, and 100G Ethernet applications in different packages such as SFP+, QSFP+, QSFP28, CFP/CFP2/CFP4, as well as X2 and XFP, covering a range from 2–10km to 80km. To meet the growing demand for consumer and corporate cloud services, the rapid expansion of data center infrastructure has prompted suppliers to quickly increase their production capacity to cope with unscheduled orders without compromising

106


product quality and reliability.

  • Enterprise network

Businesses of all scales use optical fibers to get connected. Optical fibers are ubiquitous in schools (from buildings to buildings), buildings (between floors), enterprise data centers, and data centers, and network nodes. Enterprises need interoperable and standards-based equipment for diverse IT functions and rely on fiber optics (communications) to provide reliable and high-speed data transmission to their end users with the minimal disconnection time. Over 20 years, Finisar has been a leader in the application of fiber optics (communications) to enterprise networks. Many advanced applications rely on Finisar's fiber optic transceivers. Finisar's comprehensive standard-based fiber optic transceiver product lines, including SFP, SFP+, XFP, X2, QSFP+, QSFP28, and various packaged products: CFP, CFP2, and CFP4, are very suitable for enterprises and all applications from Gigabit Ethernet to 100G Ethernet. They can be applied to various Ethernet switches, routers, and NIC cards at the same time. Finisar is a leader in modern storage networks. In 1994, Finisar was the first optical device company that has adopted Fiber Channel (FC) for VCSEL-based products. Since then, FC has become a Trusted Network Connect protocol for key business data. Today, FC is the most widely used channel in most enterprise storage applications. As the world's largest supplier of FC modules, Finisar's modules applied to most FC switches, host bus adapters (HBAs), and storage systems.

Finisar's FC modules feature excellent performance, interoperability, backward compatibility, and reliability. Our products cover six generations of FC speeds, including 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x, and 32x FC, and support short-wave optical devices for multimode fiber optics, long-wave optical devices for single-mode fiber optics or FICON, and the wavelength division multiplexer (WDM) between data centers. Moreover, we offer a variety of Ethernet modules for Fiber Channel over Ethernet (FCoE), network-attached storage (NAS), and iSCSi applications.

Consumers want more contents delivered to the home and up to gigabits of data transmitted per second. Small businesses are also seeking data networks with higher transmission speeds and greater reliability. To meet such needs, multiple system operators (MSOs) should increase their access network bandwidth with their limited fiber optic resources. Meanwhile, there are too many devices in the network headend and hubs, so MSOs have launched a green initiative to reduce energy consumption. Finisar offers fiber optic solutions for hybrid fiber coaxial (HFC) networks, passive optical networks (PON), and Power Over Ethernet (PoE) that can increase network capacity, save space, and reduce power consumption. Finisar's tunable DWDM full-band DOCSIS 3.1 transmitters allow MSOs to use their limited fiber optic resources to provide energy-saving and wavelength-flexible HFC networks that can be further divided. These small packaged pluggable optical modules can be directly installed on the converged cable access platform (CCAP), further reducing operators' space needed and energy consumption.

In addition, Finisar provides fiber optic solutions to RF over Fiber, EPON, GPON, and 10G PON. PON ONU pluggable optical modules conform to the DOCSIS Provisioning over Ethernet (DPOE) requirements.

  • High-density, flexible, and on-demand next-generation DWDM transmission solutions

The increased network traffic of applications, such as wireless network backhaul and cloud computing, has forced the industry to seek more flexible transmission solutions with higher spectral efficiency to improve the network utilization. Today's mesh networks are based on 10G adjustable modules and first-generation WSS technology. Coherent detection and FlexGrid(R) WSS are key

107


factors for the next-generation SDN architecture, and Finisar continues to be at the forefront of such market evolutions.

Finisar provides a wide variety of DWDM product mixes, including 10G and 100G tunable transceivers, WSS, and optical fiber amplifiers.

Its products range from different packages of lasers, optical modules, line cards, and rack mounts. Finisar, from DWDM XFP to CFP2-ACO, has been the industry leader in the evolution of transmission applications to high-density pluggable fiber optic transceivers.

  • A wide variety of product mixes and technologies for access networks

When the optical fibers are further promoted to clients, the increasing business internet services, cloud computing, mobile broadband, and residential gigabit broadband services are all pushing up the need for higher bandwidth. To meet such needs, operators should continually upgrade and increase the capacity of their existing fixed access networks, such as VDSL, wired broadband, and PON, while supporting clients' traditional equipment. To support the long-term development of their services, operators continue to seek higher-speed, more scalable, and higher-density next-generation access solutions, such as 10G PON, NGPON2, and RF over fiber. Finisar provides a comprehensive range of fiber optic transceiver products to support the upgrade of access networks, including EPON/GPON, traditional SONET/SDH (OC-3/STM1, OC-12/STM4, and OC-48/STM-16), high-speed Ethernet, Gigabit Ethernet, 10 Gigabit Ethernet, and 100 Gigabit Ethernet. The packages available for the products include SFP, $\mathrm{SFP + }$ , XFP, and SFF. Finisar's products are designed to optimize the use of optical fiber, such as CWDM/DWDM SFP and bi-directional (BiDi) $\mathrm{SFP + }$ modules. Also, Finisar provides high-speed tunable wavelength optical devices with an advantage in costs and single-fiber bidirectional modules, which can facilitate the network convergence, the continuous scale expansion, and better bandwidth efficiency to meet the needs of next-generation access networks.

  • Rapid growth of mobile broadband facilitated by a wide variety of product mixes

The penetration of smartphones around the world has led to an explosion in demand for mobile bandwidth. Wireless carriers have upgraded their networks to 3G or 4G/LTE and soon to 5G, to strive to keep pace with this demand. Such upgrades require substantial update of radio and RF technologies and a transformation of the infrastructure from a copper-based architecture to the one on the basis of fiber optic transmission. More wireless networks are set up using distributed antennas away from base stations, leading to a huge new market for fiber optic transceivers, i.e. the fronthaul portion of wireless networks. Also, the need for higher bandwidth for wireless backhaul means that fiber optic technology will be used more often.

Finisar has comprehensive product lines of fiber optic transceivers for wireless infrastructure. We provide a comprehensive mix of the Common Public Radio Interface (CPRI) modules suitable for outdoor equipment applications (i.e. industrial temperatures: -40 to $85^{\circ}\mathrm{C}$ ) that connect base stations to antennas. Such modules support speed of 2.5 Gb/s to 10 Gb/s, distances from 300m MMF to 40km SMF, as well as WDM and single-fiber BiDi modules. Moreover, Finisar can provide more modules suitable for wireless backhaul applications, covering Fast Ethernet, SONET/SDH OC-3/STM-1 to OC-48/STM-16, Gigabit Ethernet, and 10G Ethernet.

  • Optical interconnect technology

We adopt the high performance computing (HPC) as the interconnect of many computing, storage, and networking systems for high levels of computing power for the hardest mathematical problems. In the cases of weather forecasting, biosimulation, seismic data analysis, or big data analysis, the interconnection


between many independent units of high-speed fiber optic components provides values greater than the sum of each part.

Finisar provides optical interconnect communications for HPC. The wide variety of our product solutions ranges from active optical cables (for easy use), to embedded optical engines (highest density and lowest cost) and high-bandwidth pluggable transceivers (high flexibility). What all of our products have in common are continuous improvements to bandwidth density and lowest power per bit, with quality, reliability, and availability guaranteed.

  • Infrared light is adopted for measurement, sensing, and control in our living environment

Most consumers are familiar with gesture recognition, as used on portable devices with touchscreens, to sense touch or finger movement as part of the user interface. However, the range of potential applications for 3D sensing is much wider than this. By emitting invisible infrared light from optical components that distribute the light into a structural model or an area of light, the system can capture longitudinal information across an entire room. This enables individuals to control games or their entire entertainment center with body movements. As for future mobile devices, 3D sensing will augment the camera capabilities, enabling the image captured by the camera to augment reality, thereby identifying objects and capturing longitudinal data.

Finisar's VCSEL technology features the advantages of low cost and high optical efficiency in a miniaturized package. VCSEL also features wavelength stability when the temperature changes and good directivity, which enables the maximum output efficiency after focusing. With the focused coherent light, the efficiency of VCSEL is 10 times more than that of LEDs in the same package. To meet clients' needs for gesture recognition and 3D sensing, Finisar's technology can be integrated with all other optical components, electronic equipment, and logic control units in the same package. Alternatively, Finisar's components can be customized to meet the precision, power, size, packaging, and cost requirements.

  • Rugged and high-reliability fiber optic solutions

More aircraft, ships, and military vehicles are equipped with electronic equipment connected for communication. The challenges arising from the space, weight, and particularly electromagnetic interference (EMI) are even daunting. When two objects are very close, the traditional electronic devices with copper cables to transmit data cannot operate reliably and may even experience interruptions during data transmission. The signals transmitted through the optical fiber will not produce EMI signals and, thus, will not be interfered by external EMI signals. Such features allow the fiber optic solutions to eliminate bulky copper cables, saving space and reducing weight.

Finisar provides rugged and high-reliability fiber optic solutions for military and aerospace applications. Such solutions are designed to meet the military requirements for shock and vibration specifications and allow for a wider range of storage and operating temperatures. The products in our Endurance® product line, suitable for operations in dangerous environments, feature internal conformal coating. The metal casing of the fiber optic transceiver minimizes the impact of EMI. Finisar's laser technology is highly reliable with an average downtime of less than 10 parts per million, and the digital diagnostic function in the module can provide an early warning of a failure in the data link.

  • Optical transmission solutions for the harshest industrial environment

A wide variety of fiber optic transceivers is available for industrial applications. Harsh environments pose many challenges to network equipment, including great temperature swings, dust, vibration, and shock. EMI also often impacts the reliability

109


of data transmission through copper cables, while the equipment must be separated due to the noise or dangerous voltage environment. Fiber optic transmission technology provides a reliable solution for data transmission in such environments. As industrial production sites have become more connected and Ethernet and IP networks become more common, the fiber optic technology and products chosen have also become more critical. Finisar's industrial solutions are based on the modules with the same technology. The modules have been developed by us for the Ethernet and FC products over the past few decades. Enhanced packaging, a wider scope of operating temperatures, and stricter quality requirements ensure that our optical devices and modules can operate reliably in harsh environments.

Demand

In 2025 CES, artificial intelligence (AI) has become the biggest highlight, widely used in consumer electronics and smart devices, and promoting technological reforms and market innovation. However, if AI is applied to enterprises, it is inevitable that people will worry about whether AI can be trusted and compliant with ethics. Gartner Research Vice President (Arnold Gao) said, “The key strategic technology trends this year cover the necessary matters and risks of AI, as well as the frontier trends of computing technology and human-machine cooperation. Tracking these trends will help IT leaders to build a future for the corporate institution in innovative ways that are responsible and in line with ethics.”

Therefore, Gartner announced important strategic technology trends in 2025:

Agentic AI achieves the user-defined goals through autonomous planning and action. Achieving the virtual labor that shares and supplements the labor work will bring hope. This motivation has encouraged enterprises and manufacturers to explore, create and build the technology and practice required for stable, safe and credible agentic AI.

AI Governance Platform is a part of the Gartner’s AI trust, risk, and safety management (TRiSM) framework, which is in continuous development. AI TRiSM allows enterprises to manage the legal, ethical, and operational performance of their AI system. This technology solution can create, manage and implement the responsible AI application strategy, explain the work principles of the AI system, and provide transparency to set up a trust and accountability system.

Disinformation security is an emerging technology category. The technology can systematically identify reliability and aims to provide a method system that can ensure information integrity, assess authenticity, prevent impersonation, and track the communication of hazardous information. Gartner predicted that by 2028, 50% of companies will begin adopting products, services, or functions designed to respond to false information security applications, yet the proportion of these products, services, or functions remains less than 5%. The wide availability and advanced status of AI and machine learning tools are used for malicious purposes, and it is expected that the number of false information incidents for enterprises will increase. If such trend is not controlled, the false information may cause significant and long-term damage to the enterprise.

Postquantum Cryptography (PQC) can protect data from the risk of quantum computing decryption. According to the development of quantum computing in the past years, the traditional encryption technologies currently widely used will be eliminated. As it is not easy to change the encryption method, enterprises need more time for preparation to provide strong protection for all sensitive or confidential information.

Ambient Invisible Intelligence is realized with smart tags and sensors at low cost and small size. These sensors can provide large-scale and economical tracking and sensing features. In the long run, the ambient invisible intelligence will allow sensors and smart technologies to be integrated into our daily lives seamlessly. By 2027, the early examples of ambient invisible intelligence will be mainly used to solve current problems, such as retail inventory inspection or perishable goods logistics. The realization of low-cost real-time object tracking and sensing will

118


increase visibility and efficiency.

Sustainability is affected in multiple ways in energy-efficient computing. In 2024, carbon footprint will be the first priority of most IT organizations. Computing intensive applications, such as AI training, simulation, optimization, and media rendering, have the highest energy consumption and may become the "major client" of corporate carbon footprint.

Hybrid computing is a computing model. New computing models are continuously emerging, including central processing units, graphic processing units, edge computing, specific application integrated circuits, neural patterns, classic quantum computing, and optical computing models. Hybrid computing combines different computing, storage, and network mechanisms to address computational challenges. This computing format can help enterprises explore and solve problems, and enable AI and other technologies to break through the existing technical limitations. Hybrid computing will be used to create a more efficient and innovative environment.

Spatial computing uses the technology of AR and VR to enhance the physical world in a digital manner. It will also bring the interaction between the physical and virtual experience to a new level. In the next five to seven years, the use of space computing will boost business efficiency through a simplified workflow and enhanced collaboration.

Polyfunctional robots are able to perform multiple tasks, and they are replacing robots designed for repetitively performing a specific task. The function of this new type of robot can improve efficiency and return on investment (ROI). Polyfunctional robots can work with human beings to deploy and expand quickly.

Neurological enhancement uses the technology of reading and decoding brain activity to improve human cognitive ability. This technology can be used to access the human brain through a unidirectional (UBMI) or bidirectional brain machine interface (BBMI). This has huge potential in the three main fields: human skill improvement, next-generation marketing, and performance enhancement. Neurological enhancement will increase humans' cognitive ability, help the brand to understand the idea and feeling of the consumer, and strengthen humans' neural function so that the best results can be achieved.

The growth of the semiconductor equipment market will come from several major sources, including the demand for advanced process technology, the penetration of 5G and AI technology, and expanding demand in emerging markets. First, the demand for advanced process technology (such as 7nm and below process) is the main driver of the growth of semiconductor equipment. With the continuous breakthrough in process technology, the demand for process equipment such as high-end photo etching, etching, and chemical mechanical polishing (CMP) will continue to grow. Particularly, the application of advanced process application will be the key to high-performance computing and mobile device. Next, the wide application of 5G base stations, IoT equipment and AI accelerators will create strong demand for semiconductor equipment. Finally, emerging markets will also become an important source of growth for semiconductor equipment. With increasing investment in advanced manufacturing technologies in these regions, the demand for semiconductor equipment will grow significantly.

The growth of the industrial market will mainly come from several key fields, including the development of automation and digital transformation, green energy technology development, and the restructuring of the global supply chain. With the growing popularity of smart manufacturing and Industry 4.0, the demand for industrial automation will continue to grow.

119


efficiency, reduce costs, and promote enterprises to accelerate digital transformation. The development of green energy technology, particularly for renewable energy, electric vehicles and energy storage equipment, will become an important driver of industrial market growth. Faced with a global emphasis on the reduction of carbon emissions, enterprises have increased their investment in sustainable technologies. This not only promotes the growth of the clean energy industry but also drives the demand for infrastructure and equipment.

According to the Ministry of Economic Affairs, since 2020, the domestic economy has accelerated its growth due to significant domestic epidemic prevention, world order shifting, and semiconductor fab expansion, coupled with Taiwanese businessmen's return to Taiwan for investment, which has driven the domestic economy, and stimulated the demand for power consumption. The energy transition policy specified that the target for the capacity of renewable energy installations by 2025 will be 20GW for optoelectronics plants and 5.6GW for offshore power plants. The goal for completing the construction by the end of 2025 has not been changed. The target that 20% of the energy must come from renewable energy sources by 2025 is set based on the economic growth rate of 1% to 2% in 2015 and 2016, and the estimated power generation by 2025 is 2,575 GWh. Meanwhile, the foreign market also faces shortage, such as: Replacement of old transformer: 55% of the equipment exceeds the service life, and the replacement rate is estimated to be 1 million pieces per year. The new demand for electric energy is exploding: The demand for AI servers, data centers, and electric vehicle charging stations is increasing year by year, which is helpful for the next wave of development in the industry.

According to the estimation by the international market research agency, McKinsey & Company, there will be more than 27,000 satellites running on the space track by 2030. 4,000 to 5,000 satellites will be required to maintain the normal operation of the large star system project on average. Most of the commercial satellites currently are small satellites (Small Sats) with a weight of less than 500kg. These satellites are rotating on the "low earth orbit" within 2,000km from Earth. They are equipped with high-speed and low-delay communication performance. However, as they are close to Earth, they need to maintain a higher speed to fight gravity. The average lifespan is only three to five years. The operators need to regularly launch new satellites to maintain the quantity.

For example, the low-orbit satellite leading manufacturers, Starlink and Eutelsat OneWeb, have entered the second stage of low-orbit satellite network construction. The relevant projects of Amazon's Project Kuiper and Canada's Telesat are also in progress. Many international aerospace startups have also actively launched small or cubic satellites to provide various types of satellite services. From 2020 to the end of September 2024, the number of commercial satellites that have been launched and are still in operation around the world is 7,964, with a total of 366 launch activities.

The Company has provided a variety of sensor components and technical support for the IIoT, including front-end sensors for pressure, temperature/humidity, various gas sensors, water levels, altimeter, and suspended particle concentration, as the touch of objects through the high-precision analog-digital converter with ultra-low power consumption and the wired and wireless communication components commonly used in the industry. The back-end big data servo system, high-speed storage hardware, optical fiber network modules, and network bridge have formed a brain center; then, FPGA carries out AI calculations and judgments for crisis warning and response.

Through the layouts of different types of products, we will continue to further our development in the industrial market and jointly develop products with clients to shorten the time to market. For example, we will link multiple parties' expertise to jointly create an AI diagnostic solution for unmanned devices. We will enhance our familiarity with the energy storage industry supply chain to provide clients with fast and integrated solutions. We will also work with more third-party solution providers and assist FPGA clients in developing AI, RF, ATE, low-earth orbit satellites, as well as digital audio-visual broadcasting. This facilitates our growth with clients and enhances mutual competitiveness, while contributing to the development of Taiwan's industries.

As IoT applications are more widely adopted, information security threats have extended from information equipment to infrastructure and industrial control equipment. More effective protection measures are required for embedded systems to prevent malicious attacks. Thus, ADI's DeepCover security microcontroller will lead to a new wave of evolution and industrial development for IoT devices.

As 5G technology and low-earth orbit satellite ground stations begin to be commercially deployed, the resulting surge in bandwidth will greatly transform the existing models and open up new markets. The 5G network will not be limited to the internet and will facilitate the revolutionary development of the automotive, medical, and industrial automation fields, thereby creating greater values for the industries through the intelligent applications business opportunities.

(I) The impact of movements in interest rates or exchange rates and inflation on the Company's profit or loss and up to the publication date of this annual report and future countermeasures

  1. The impact of movements in interest rates on the Company's profit or loss and future countermeasures

In recent years, the global economy has been continuously affected by monetary policy adjustments in major countries. Following the previous interest rate hike cycle, the US Federal Reserve gradually adjusted the direction of the monetary policy in Q2 2025. The overall interest rate environment was cautious. Due to the characteristics of the industry and operational needs, the Company will continue to have a demand for borrowings in New Taiwan dollars or foreign currencies in the future. With the number of banks to be decreased and business cooperation to be centralized, it will work closely with the banks to increase the loan amount, obtain the best interest rates, and reduce the interest rate risk.

  1. The impact of movements in exchange rates on the Company's profit or loss and future countermeasures

In 2025, the fluctuation range of the NTD to USD exchange rate was greater than in previous years, and a more obvious appreciation occurred in the middle of the year, which may have had a certain degree of impact on the operations of enterprises with foreign currency denominated transactions. The accounts receivable and payable of the Company are mostly USD denominated, with a certain degree of natural hedging effect. We are committed to mitigating the risk arising from exchange rate fluctuations. Therefore, we not only keep track of macroeconomic conditions and changes in the foreign exchange market but also maintain close contact with the financial institutions. We regularly assess foreign currency positions and collect related foreign exchange information to adjust its cash and foreign currency position management strategies as needed. By taking this approach, we minimize the impact of exchange rate fluctuations on the Company's operations and profits.

  1. The impact of inflation on the Company's profit or loss and future countermeasures

There was no inflation incident with a significant impact on the Company's profit or


loss during 2025 and up to the publication date of this annual report.

(II) The policy on engagement in high-risk and highly leveraged investment, loans to others, endorsements/guarantees provided, and derivatives trading, the main reason for profit or loss, and countermeasures

  1. The Company has not engaged in high-risk and highly leveraged investments in 2025 and up to the date of publication of the annual report.
  2. We did not provide loan nor endorsements/guarantees to others during 2025 and up to the publication date of this annual report.
  3. The Company does not engage in derivatives trading.

We will continue to invest a great deal of manpower and funds in the IPs and platforms, and the R&D expenses will account for roughly 1% to 2% of our operating revenue.

(IV) The impact of the changes in important policies and regulatory environment at home or abroad on the Company's financial business and countermeasures

We have personnel responsible for paying close attention to changes in important policies and laws at home and abroad and promptly consulting legal and accounting experts and requesting them to assess the situation, provide advice, and draw up response measures. Thus, changes in applicable laws and regulations did not have a material impact on the Company's financial business.

(V) The impact of changes in technology (including cyber security risks) and the industry on the Company's financial business and countermeasures

The Company represents world-class manufacturers' products. In addition, as our clients are from a wide variety of fields, we can quickly keep abreast of industry trends and access market information ahead of our peers. Thus, changes in technologies and the industry have a positive impact on the Company.

(VI) Impact of a change in corporate image on corporate crisis management and countermeasures

Since the Company was incorporated, we have been committed to maintaining our corporate image and complying with laws and regulations. No incidents that have affected our corporate image have occurred so far.

(IX) Risks of supplier or client concentration and countermeasures

The Company does not face a risk of client concentration.

We have worked with ADI for over 10 years with a close and positive partnership, and we have never experienced interruption of

supply with a material impact on our overall operations or clients' rights and interest. As the Company continues to expand by representing new product lines, such as AMD (Xilinx), ITE, the concentration of purchases from ADI has decreased year by year, so the risk of supplier concentration should be limited.

(X) The impact of massive transfer or replacement of shares by the directors, supervisors, or shareholders, each holding more than 10% of the shares issued by the Company, the risk thereof, and countermeasures
