Year 2017.2H Guidance

==> picture [11 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

In the first three quarters 2017, the key drivers for parent company sales revenues are coming from semiconductor testing solutions and Test Instruments and ATS, which presented a strong growth of 143% and 20% YoY respectively.

==> picture [11 x 12] intentionally omitted <==

The Company expected 2H profitability will be better than 1H due to:

• Test Instruments and ATS will remain a steady growth in 2H, mainly contributing from EV market growing the demand of high power electronics testing.

• The increasing adoption for Laser Diode (VCSEL) in 3D images and the new SoC/Analog Test System will continue to drive the semiconductors testing solutions sales in 2H, 2017 and carry forward to 2018.

• The 4Q turnkey solutions will be better than 3Q due to battery cell order deliver.

• The subsidiary MAS will have a outstanding sales growth in 2H.
