1.2 Summary of 2021 Business Plan and Future Development Strategy
-
1.2.1 Business Policy
-
1.2.1.1 Optoelectronics Department
As a specialist manufacturer of optocouplers and relays, we are able to react and make decisions quickly in response to market dynamics. Our main target markets are those with large users and a wide range of channels, but lacking product design capabilities, where we can provide complete product specifications, or design and production services to address the specific needs of our customers. Going forward, we will capitalize on our core technology to develop new products in line with the trend of lighter, thinner, shorter and smaller products, and continue to improve the quality of our products to ensure our dominant position. In view of the cost, the Company’s operational strategy, we have successively established new production bases in Southern China and Indonesia to strengthen local marketing and services, also introducing new equipment and carry out product restructuring with the aim at increasing the sales ratio of high-margin products and profits. To ambitiously expand into the automotive electronics supply chain and shall seize the opportunity in the automotive market after obtaining the product certification.

1.2.1.2 LED Lighting
-
In recent years, the price–performance ratio of LED lighting has improved and its penetration rate in the total lighting market is gradually on the rise. While the market economy has been affected by the trade dispute between the US and China, the Company’s two bases in Southern China and Indonesia have allowed us to adjust our production capacity in order to secure the best tariff concessions and to keep up with our customers’ orders and mitigate the impact of the trade dispute. In the US market, we have also taken measures to protect our patent and enhance our competitiveness in an effort to increase the market share of our products.
-
1.2.1.3 Clean Steam Department
-
Driven by the global development of bioenergy, energy security and autonomy, and the reduction of CO2 emissions, we will sustain research and development of highly efficient, low-cost and long-life energy sources to jointly cut carbon emissions and global pollution. The Clean Steam Department is expected to bring advantages and niches to the growth of the industry.
-
1.2.1.4 Industrial Park Development The investment environment in China has changed as a result of the New Southbound Policy promoted by the Taiwanese government and the Investment Act promulgated by the Indonesian government, as well as the impact of the USChina trade dispute. Indonesia’s demographic dividend, the removal of a number of barriers to foreign investment under the new Act and tax incentives have all added to its investment attractiveness.
-
By accelerating the diversification of business operations to increase the profitability of the Group/shareholders, the Company has decided to invest in the development and construction of industrial parks, and at the same time, to help various Taiwanese SMEs to quickly gain a foothold in the Indonesian market, and to jointly polish up the image of the Taiwanese industry and create visibility worldwide.
The Group since 2008 has been proactive in looking for suitable plots of land for industrial development and has acquired approximately 200 hectares of land and

The cities in Taiwan have been gradually getting more and more intelligent and systematic. With the government’s vigorous promotion, the combination of lighting and security management systems aims to achieve the goal of supporting urban governance, reinforcing system effectiveness, improving residents’ lives and maintaining environmental sustainability. The construction of smart streetlights in the female dormitory area of Asia University was completed in 2021 and serves as a demonstration for the public.

- 1.2.7 Influence by the external competitive environment, the regulatory environment and the general business environment:
The COVID-19 pandemic continued to plague the world into 2021, but the pandemic has gradually subsided as global vaccination coverage has risen, with the hope that COVID lockdown will gradually be lifted in the second half of 2022. However, with the outbreak of the Russia-Ukraine war in 2022, another bomb has been dropped on the global economy, causing the rebound in the consumer and raw material markets to stall once again. As such, the Company remains highly alert to this uncertainty and will make operational adjustments as necessary.
Over the past year, all business entities have been adjusting their management strategies and product structures on a rolling basis to improve production efficiency in response to the current market structural changes and the impact on the economic climate. The management has actively deepened its innovative thinking and capabilities, strengthened its operational structure, improved its governance mechanism, and developed its technological competitive edge, adhering to a pragmatic business strategy of value creation and moving forward with solutions and new application areas. In addition, with the spirit of seeking innovation and change, the Company makes every product in a serious and pragmatic manner, and has been working hard to develop its core areas of expertise and to enhance its competitiveness in response to external competition and the overall business environment.
In the future, the Company will comply with the law and make appropriate adjustments in the face of changes in the legal and regulatory environment, and will actively adapt to the policies and accelerate its multi-faceted operation to cope with changes in external factors, seize its own strengths, reasonably modify its business policies and formulate flexible strategies to enable the Company to grow continuously.
Looking ahead, the management team and staff of the Company will continue to devote themselves to creating greater benefits for our shareholders.
I would like to wish you all good health and all the best.

Each component comprises a few different items. For more information concerning the items, please refer to the Regulations.
-
IV. The Company has already adopted the aforementioned Regulations to evaluate the effectiveness of its internal control system design and operating effectiveness.

4.1.6 Dividend Policy and Implementation Status
4.1.6.1 Dividend policy
The Company shall use the current year’s profit before tax to deduct the profit before compensation distribution to employees and directors and supervisors, and reserve the amount to cover accumulated losses in advance. If there is any remaining balance, 5% to 12% shall be set aside as compensation to employees and not more than 3% shall be set aside as compensation to directors and supervisors. The distribution of compensation must be approved by a resolution of the board of directors with at least two-thirds of the directors present and agreed by a majority of the directors present, and reported to the shareholders’ meeting.
The aforementioned employee compensation may be made in the form of stock or cash, and may be paid to employees of subsidiaries of the Company meeting certain specific requirements.
The Company shall, after its losses have been covered and all taxes and dues have been paid and at the time of allocating surplus profits, first set aside ten percent of such profits as a legal reserve. However, when the legal reserve amounts to the authorized capital, this shall not apply. If necessary, special reserve may be set aside or reversed in accordance with laws and regulations. If there is any undistributed earnings from prior years, the Board of Directors shall prepare a proposal for the distribution of earnings and submit it to the shareholders’ meeting for resolution.
The Company’s dividend policy will take into account the Company’s environment and growth stage, future capital requirements and long-term financial planning, and the Board of Directors will prepare a proposal for the distribution of earnings and submit it to the shareholders’ meeting for approval.
Since the Company is in a fast-changing industry and development trend and is in a growth stage, it needs to continue to invest capital. In the future, depending on the Company’s working capital position and considering the shareholders’ demand for cash inflow, the Company will allocate 15% or more of the distributable earnings to shareholders as dividends, except that if the distributable earnings are less than 20% of the paid-in capital, they may not be distributed. The distribution of dividends to shareholders may be made in cash or in shares, with cash dividends not less than 10% of the total dividends paid in the year, provided that if the amount of cash dividends is less than $0.10 per share, the entire amount may be paid as stock dividends instead.

B. Clean Steam Department
With global climate change, environmental awareness has been on the rise in recent years, and governments have initiated various energy-saving policies to reduce environmental pollution. The pressure on countries to reduce carbon emissions under the Kyoto Protocol has also led them to seek to develop low-carbon energy businesses. The advantages of biomass over renewable energy include mature technology, commercial viability, high economic efficiency, and the dual benefits of waste recycling and energy production as the materials used are waste. Taken together, it is clear that the bioenergy industry has great potential for future development. Taiwan has now passed a third reading of the “Greenhouse Gas Reduction and Management Act” at the Legislative Yuan in June 2015, expressly regulating our long-term greenhouse gas reduction target of less than 50% of the 2005 GHG emissions level by 2050. In addition, in August 2015, President Barack Obama of the United States, the world’s leading industrial power, proposed the “Clean Energy Plan,” which aims to reduce carbon emissions from power plants in the US, and stated in the published brochure that the Clean Energy Plan will cut carbon emissions by 32% from 2005 levels by 2030, and that this would be the largest measure ever taken by the US to combat climate change, and it is clear that the use of new energy sources is a major trend for the future.
C. LED Lighting Department
In the decorative string lighting industry today, the main applications are in Europe and North America, and mainly for Christmas. Christmas is a traditional and important festival in Europe and the United States. It is as meaningful to the people of Europe and US as Lunar New Year is to the Chinese speaking communities, so there is often a rush to buy Christmas decorations before the festive season. The sales of decorative lighting are mostly in large shopping malls, department stores and retail outlets, and there is often a significant correlation between product sales and economic
78
growth, changes in consumer confidence, changes in unemployment rates and purchasing power in the region. When the purchasing power of consumers increases, it is more likely to boost the sales of these products. As a result, end-use spending in this sector is closely linked to the general economic development and consumer confidence trends across the region. The recent optimistic outlook for the US economy is expected to boost Christmas spending.
In the past, most of the decorative lights were composed of incandescent light bulbs, which had the drawbacks of power consumption, high loss rate and short service life. However, with the rising awareness of environmental protection in recent years, LED decorative lights have gained considerable advantages in the decorative lighting market due to their power saving and long service life, and have gradually expanded their application in toys and decorative light strings, and gradually taken the place of incandescent lamps. In summary, the market for LED decorative lighting is expected to remain strong as the economy in Europe and the US picks up, with the advantages of high reliability, high flexibility and low pollution.
The tariff on decorative lighting products exported from China has risen from 8% to 25% in two years due to the ongoing US-China trade dispute. The Company’s Indonesian-based lighting products have continued to benefit from transfer of orders.
D. Development District
The Chinese market has recently been affected by rising raw material prices, rising wages, labor shortages, the appreciation of the Renminbi and the trade conflict between the United States and China, which has led to the export-oriented manufacturing industry beginning to ponder what the future holds for it. Among them, the furniture industry, toy industry, leather industry, chemical engineering industry and other highly polluting industries are the most hit, and the closure of factories or relocation of manufacturing industries has become a trend and a signpost to the future.
The New Southbound Policy initiated by the Taiwanese government has strengthened ties with the economic markets of Southeast Asia, and many Taiwanese companies have begun to trade and invest in the region. In recent years, a large number of Taiwanese businesses have moved into Vietnam, which seems to have become another big labor market after China, but the swarm has created a new wave of challenges. The total population of Vietnam is only about 80 million, which is only comparable to the population of the province of Guangdong in China. Considering the limited land resources (331,689 square kilometers), the influx of foreign capital and the varying quality of human resources in North and South Vietnam, the supply and cost of labor for Taiwanese companies intended to locate to Vietnam will be a major concern in the future.
Also in Southeast Asia, neighboring Cambodia (with a population of around 15.5 million) and Laos (with a population of around 7.45 million) are also unable to satisfy the huge demand for labor due to their limited population size. Furthermore, the Indonesian government has introduced a number of laws to improve the investment environment, effectively removing many barriers to foreign investment. For all these reasons, Indonesia is considered to be the best place in the coming years.
79
Driven by the international trend, resource environment, labor market and policy backing, the Industrial Development District will show good prospects.
E. Smart streetlighting
There are 360 million street lighting poles in a world of 7.6 billion people, signifying the infrastructure of a modern civilization that has spread across the globe. With 5G and AIoT driving the development of smart cities in various countries, the trend of smart cities is on the rise. Only 2% of the world’s light poles, or 7 million units in total, have now been made intelligent, and it is predicted that in the next 10 years, close to 100 million light poles worldwide will be made smart, allowing the idea of smart cities to be translated into more specific product. Many countries have promoted smart city related infrastructure and applicable measurements with the increasing of environmental protection awareness, every city has replaced the traditional streets lights with a large amount of LED smart lights which hold not only the key infrastructure of smart cities but also the important part of AI and IoT. The smartlighting is no more a mere lighting, it has combined with communications, city security, environmental monitoring, information releasing and charging etc..
On top of that the street lights will no long a lighting tool in the dark, it has evolved into a smart home keeper and can be applied to traffic control, environmental monitoring, information releasing, charging piles, 5G small scale station. In the foreseeable future the demand of 5G-build-in light pole and IoV will increase which makes smart street lights an essential part in our cities with its increasing diversity.

D. Smart streetlighting
The supply chain of smart street lighting involves local government, industrial parks and schools, telecommunication carriers, street lighting controller suppliers and lighting fixture suppliers.
5.1.2.3 Product Development Trends
A. Opto-electronic components industry
The photo coupler uses “light” as the medium to transmit electrical signals and has strong anti-jamming ability which enables photo coupler an ideal insulation for switch current and is widely applied; the demand for photo coupler has been driven rapidly as a result of the increase of wearable device, communication networks, smart home appliances, consumer electronics, electric car, cloud server and 5G base station while relays are one of the passive elements required in almost all electronic products. With demand for quality home appliances and the integration of various electrical appliances and burglar alarm systems into smart homes, and with the advent of the Internet of Things, demand for a large number of connected devices and major applications has created a smart city that comprises smart commercial complexes, smart homes and other applications, including many IoT devices and hardware devices, thus creating another wave of business opportunities for passive control elements such as relays.
B. Bioenergy industry
In the overall bioenergy market, bio-liquid fuels, mainly bio-alcohol and biodiesel, will continue to be the focus of industry development in the coming years, primarily in the Americas, such as the United States, Brazil, Argentina and other countries with advantages in raw materials. In terms of biomass and thermal energy, since Europe and the USA have a demand for thermal energy in winter, biomass and thermal energy development are principally in those two regions, which, together with the sparsely populated areas, are more suitable for decentralized, small-scale combined heat and power supply systems. Biomass raw materials such as agricultural and forestry crops and waste materials can be collected, dried and
83
compressed to produce a small, high-density derived fuel. This treated biomass fuel is easily transportable and has a high calorific value per unit volume, making it suitable for wide use in small-scale boilers, district heat supply, combined heat and power plants and power stations.
C. Decorative lighting industry
With environmental awareness on the rise, the ratio of traditional incandescent to LED Christmas lights is now very different. Due to the excellent light source of LEDs, many traditional Christmas lights have been phased out and the penetration rate of LEDs has soared. The price differential between LED Christmas lights and traditional Christmas lights in the market has leveled off and the price differential is not too wide. In addition, LED lighting has more advantages than traditional incandescent lighting, such as energy saving and longer life span, which has significantly increased consumers’ willingness to purchase.
D. Industrial park development
As part of its efforts to attract more foreign investments to promote economic and trade exchanges and local economic development, the Indonesian government has recently been actively improving the investment environment by providing special economic zones, setting up the Indonesian Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM), strengthening infrastructure such as highways, railways, ports and airports to better the environment and removing barriers to investment. In early 2020, the Indonesian authorities launched the “Omnibus Law on Job Creation,” widely known as Omnibus Law, which aims to streamline Indonesia’s cumbersome business regulations, boost administrative efficiency, expand investment, enhance human resources and create more employment opportunities. Both local and foreign companies can benefit from the flexibility offered by the new Omnibus Law. In addition, the Indonesian government offers investment incentives such as Tax Holiday and Tax Allowance. According to Indonesian government regulations, foreign companies that meet the requirements are entitled to corresponding investment incentives.
Meanwhile, the government is advocating relevant investment policies. Through the promotion of the New Southbound Policy, it can also effectively encourage Taiwanese companies to expand their investment in Southeast Asian and South Asian markets.
In line with the Taiwanese government’s new southbound policy and the Indonesian government’s investment decree, areas such as industrial zones are being developed and built. In the coming years, it is expected that more Taiwanese SMEs will start to base themselves in Indonesia and work together to expand into overseas markets.
E. Smart streetlighting
Over the past few years, street lighting systems in Taiwan have been extensively replaced with LED lights from traditional mercury-vapor lamps, and in recent years, intelligent control modules have been added gradually, which not only allow intelligent dimming and significantly reduce power consumption, but also shift from manual control and inspection to intelligent management, using a unified management platform for monitoring and control to raise the quality of lighting and maintenance. Taiwan is at the forefront of the evolution of street lighting due to the flourishing LED industry, and recently the US, China, Europe, Japan and other countries in the Asia Pacific Region have also been pushing for smart street lighting, with increasingly diverse and advanced features.
84
In Taiwan, many cities have expanded smart light trials and incorporated the uniqueness of each city respectively. Taoyuan City government has put NT$4.59 billion total budget into replacing 160 thousand smart lights which expect to save NT$2.3 billion in electricity and fulfillment of smart management, the malfunction report can be reduced from 48 hours to 24 hours, the effective lighting rate can maintain over 99.7%, meanwhile the smart lights can integrate with Big data to build up AI model which provide pedestrian-car traffic analysis, image recognition, air detection etc. that can apply for the development of innovative power backup transportation, providing electric car charging needs and expanding into a micro weather station with business model, also can be equipped for a 5G-build-in micro station.
Furthermore, the biggest smart light demonstration area has been established in Taoyuan Qingpu by the Bureau of Industry, Ministry of Economic Affairs covered with 1,800 smart lights in 3 square kilometers, integrating environment detection, electronic sign, electric car charging piles. The smart lights not only integrate AI monitoring to verify accidents but also report automatically when street trees and telephone poles fall down, potholes in the road are verified, in addition to that, the smart lights can also detect water levels and connect with the city government water system, can be used as charging piles for electric car, in the future also providing additional assistance in self-driving car positioning with high precision digital map. 5.1.2.4 Product Competition
The Company and its subsidiaries are principally engaged in the R&D, manufacturing and sales of photoelectric components and relay, decorative lighting and clean steam, with its main product lines being optoelectronics, energy and materials trading, distribution and others. The major products accounted for 92.4%, 6.63% and 0.88% of revenue in FY2021 respectively, with optoelectronic components taking the highest share. Most of the rivals for photocouplers in optoelectronics are Japanese companies, such as SHARP, TOSHIBA, NEC, as well as other European and American competitors such as VISHAY, AVAGO and FAIRCHILD. The main competitors in the relay product segment are from Japan, including MATSUSHITA, OMROM, NEC and many other players. As the above-mentioned major international corporations are known for their large economic scale, competition in this sector is relatively fierce. However, in recent years, the Company has achieved considerable success in cost control and will continue to develop lightweight, thin, short and small devices and seek sales opportunities for specialist OEMs with competitive cost control to make our products more competitive in the market.
Fast product renewal: With the ongoing breakthroughs in artificial intelligence, Internet of Things, Internet and other new-generation information technologies, smart hardware has realized the transformation of traditional equipment into smart ones, creating new product forms. As products continue to be updated and market demand varies, the ancillary products industry is undergoing rapid changes and a variety of technologies co-exist. The product mix and technical standards of the relevant equipment manufacturers need to keep pace with the development trends and changes in demand in the sector in order to cope with the increasingly fierce competition in the industry.
With the fast growth of the industry in recent years, the lack of senior interdisciplinary talents has posed a bottleneck to the progress of the industry due to the rapid renewal of technology. As social values evolve, the supply of entry-level employees is also generally inadequate. Labor recruitment costs and production costs are gradually going up, but the shortening of product development cycles in the industry and the increasing demand for production have led to a simultaneous rise in
85
demand for entry-level labor. On the other hand, fast economic growth in the country and the hike in salary levels for employees have resulted in a sharp jump in labor costs, placing stricter requirements on the cost control capabilities of companies in the sector.

5.2.1.2 Key competitors and market share
The major global rivals of the photocoupler series include SHARP, TOSHIBA, OMROM, FAIRCHILD and other companies, which are known for their large economic scale, and in which competition is relatively intense. In recent years, the Company has achieved considerable success in strengthening cost control, enhancing its competitiveness and quality, as well as developing high value-added product lines such as high-end digital optocouplers to expand its product portfolio to the mainstream of international manufacturers.
The decorative lighting range is mainly used for Christmas festivities, with a large proportion of festive lighting being sold in Europe and North America, as well as in hypermarkets, department stores and retail outlets and online.
5.2.1.3 Market supply, demand and growth in the future
- (1) Optoelectronics Department
Photo-coupler series products are essential components for electronic and electrical products and instrumentation, and are used in a wide range of industries including consumer electronics, communication industry, computer peripherals, medical and industrial industries etc. Optocouplers provide excellent isolation and perform simple transmission functions, and will hold market potential with the rapid evolution of the information industry and the maturation of technology.
(2) Clean Energy Department
After careful consideration of the risks of the industry, the management team decided to devote itself to reform and add the bioenergy and eco-friendly fuel business, which is primarily applied to power plants, cement industry, printing and dyeing industry, paper industry, textile industry, food industry, chemical engineering industry and other industries as a heat-generating and eco-friendly fuel. Palm kernel shells (PKS) are a popular eco-fuel for the next century because not only is it a green energy source, but it can also reduce costs. Its combustion conditions can shut out the air from carbonizing a solid fuel similar to charcoal at temperatures above 400°C, and its unique chemical properties reduce GHG emissions, and it has superior properties to biomass pellet fuels. It is small in size, light in quality, unbreakable, easy to transport, and will not spontaneously combust when exposed to the open air. It also has a high heat of combustion of 4,200-4,600 calories/KG, with a moisture content of less than 15%, and can be fully combusted, making it ideal for burning in large boilers, and its thermal efficiency is much higher than that of traditional coal, which will create new revenue opportunities and profitability.
87
(3) LED Lighting Department
The market for Christmas lights is still dominated by the European and American markets, and is already very stable and mature, with demand maintaining a stable and slight growth, except for very large fluctuations in the market due to special conditions.
Despite the low variability in total market demand, the ratio of traditional incandescent to LED Christmas lighting is very different in terms of environmental awareness and cost changes. The proportion of LED Christmas lights is increasing year on year, and LED products are the Company’s most competitive mainstay, so with this trend and years of hard work, the future should be even more favorable. (4) Industrial Park Development
Indonesia is a virgin land rich in natural resources, with 74.5% of the country’s total land area available for agriculture, and has the largest number of islands in the world, with over 4,000 nautical miles of coastline to the east and west. With a population of over 270 million according to the October 2020 census, Indonesia is a hardworking, kind and optimistic nation. The country is the biggest economy in the ASEAN region, with a large territory and labor market.
According to the Central Bureau of Statistics, the manufacturing sector accounts for the highest share of Indonesia’s GDP in the industrial structure, at around 21%. The Indonesia Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) has also identified a number of investment priorities based on economic strengths, growth factors and productivity, with export-oriented industries such as electronics and machinery manufacturing among them. Industrial parks, special economic zones and tourist attractions also create good investment opportunities. The Indonesian government has set out priority sectors for investment that will help underpin sustainable economic growth on the one hand, and create more jobs on the other.
In order to attract more foreign investment to promote economic and trade exchanges and local economic growth, the Indonesian government has recently shown a friendly attitude towards foreign investors by actively improving the investment environment and publishing relevant legislation to ensure fair treatment between foreign and local manufacturers as far as possible. In particular, the democratically elected President Joko Widodo has made great efforts in recent years to develop Indonesia’s economy and build up the country’s infrastructure, and is gradually shaking off the negative perception of its anti-Chinese past. In early 2020, the Indonesian government introduced the “Omnibus Law on Job Creation,” which aims to remove a number of barriers to foreign investment and make it more attractive.
The internal corporate environment is also driving investment in the Indonesian market. In recent years, the market demand has grown. In order to meet the demand, enhance production capacity and increase profitability, overseas investment has become the direction of development for Taiwanese enterprises. Since 2007, Cosmo Electronics Corp. has set up a subsidiary in Indonesia and has been in contact with the Indonesian market for many years. Cosmo is familiar with its local market conditions and has its own advantages that make it easier for Taiwanese SMEs to gain a foothold in the market.
(5) Smart streetlighting
Taipei City, as the capital of Taiwan, has already achieved a high level of smart street lighting, and in recent years has been discussing the feasibility of a sharedpole smart system, with inter-office communication within the city government and requests from various units to attach functional modules to street lights. In 2017, the Taipei City Government began installing shared-pole street lights in Neihu,
88
gradually extending to other administrative districts and expanding the scale of the project. Over the past few years, more than 200 experimental functional items have been undertaken.
Moreover, according to the deployment of 5G infrastructure of domestic telecom carriers, the coverage of 5G signals will be established first, and in a few years, when 5G users become mainstream and high traffic applications are widely introduced, demand for bandwidth will be more keen, then more dense small cells will be built to strengthen the signal integrity and support the demand for highspeed connection, and the combination with smart streetlights will come to fruition. The time for mass introduction will come when the relevant services of the operators are up and running, and when the technical and cost issues at this stage are further overcome.
Street lighting plays an indispensable role in people’s lives, from creating urban landscapes on a large scale to lighting up street corners on a small scale, the level of street lighting going intelligent also shows the development of a smart city in a concrete and subtle way. Traditional street lighting has much room for improvement in terms of lighting operation, monitoring and maintenance, and information management, so energy saving, flexible control, and manpower saving are the primary objectives of its smartization. As a matter of fact, these basic functions have been gradually put in place. Regarding the future of shared-pole value-added smart services, the key to the development of smart street lighting will be how to integrate different suppliers and authorities smoothly through the characteristics of street lighting distributed throughout the city, and how to integrate software and hardware structures through an open platform to enhance the smart life of the residents.
The Ministry of Education has stressed and announced on the importance of school lighting and monitoring issues ever since a tragedy happened as a Malaysian student was killed in Chang Jung Christian University Tainan campus in 2020, and has asked all campuses to install smart lights with subsidy. Hence, the Universities in Asia were put emphasis on female dormitory and safety management in campuses, this contributes to the interests in our LED smart light and LED smart light with monitoring (Trimax-R3) which promote the tender invitation and cooperation with Chang Jung Christian University.
5.2.1.4 Competitive niche
(1) Product quality advantage
The Company has gradually boosted the popularity of its products with excellent quality, and with its meticulous production process and competitive price conditions, it has been well received by famous domestic and foreign companies. It has been awarded numerous international safety certifications such as UL, CUL, VDE, FIMKO, SEMKO, NEMKO, etc., and has also obtained ISO9001 and ISO14001 quality certifications, and its stable and reliable products have been recognized and adopted by renowned domestic and international corporations.
(2) Manufacturing strengths
Since its incorporation, the Company has been engaged in the production and sale of related products. On top of its many years of experience in manufacturing processes, the Company has devoted itself to the refinement of production technology, the upgrading of production equipment and the strengthening of cost control, and has attained considerable success. Our technical team has many years of experience and expertise in the product trend and production technology. We have not only boosted our competitiveness in the industry, but also expanded our
89
services to specialized OEMs and developed high value-added product lines such as high-end digital optocouplers to broaden our product portfolio to the international mainstream manufacturers. As a result of the trade war between the United States and China since March 2018, tariffs have been imposed on products manufactured in China, and the Company’s lighting products, which are manufactured in Indonesia, have directly benefited from the transfer of orders.
- (3) R&D strengths
Since 1991, we have been dedicated to the research of optoelectronic elements and have been working on photorelays and optocouplers for many years.

The flexibility of this technology has significantly increased the breadth and depth of applications, and its excellent R&D capabilities have made the Company’s products more competitive in the market.
- (4) Green alternative effect
The global bioenergy industry has been growing rapidly in recent years, driven by energy security and autonomy as well as CO2 reduction. In terms of environmental factors, people are beginning to realize that the global environment has been deteriorating as a result of the development of the industrial economy, which in turn has started to jeopardize the survival of humans and animals, thus leading people to switch to low-carbon biomass energy. In economic terms, global fossil energy reserves are diminishing and the cost of extraction is rising, resulting in an increase in production costs, while biomass energy is becoming cost competitive. Moreover, the advantages of biomass energy include mature technology, the ability to operate commercially, high economic efficiency, and the fact that the material used is waste, so it has the dual benefits of waste recycling and energy generation. In summary, it is apparent that the biomass energy industry has great potential for future development.
- 5.2.1.5 Factors favorable and unfavorable to development prospects and response measures (1) Prospects for the Optoelectronics Department
With many years of efforts in the field of optocouplers and photo relay series, we have acquired extensive experience and expertise, ranging from product development to process technology, and have the leading R&D and production technology capability. Through years of R&D and continued refinement of product quality and product yield, the product lineup has become complete and has received international safety certifications such as UL, CUL, VDE, FIMKO, SEMKO, CQC and ISO 9001 and ISO 14001 certifications. To put effort into applying for the IATF 16949 certification recently, this will make us grow steadily among international competitors and become a major manufacturer of optocoupler series products in the market.

(2) Prospects for the Clean Steam Department
The global bioenergy market was at a size of approx. US$29.3 billion in 2007 and grew at an average annual rate of 26.6% between 2004 and 2007, bringing a new impetus to the development of the global bioeconomy. Despite the controversy of the last two years over the use of raw materials that compete with the people for food, the industry is projected to continue to grow, backed by an escalation in crude oil prices and the government’s focus on energy autonomy and security. Total global biomass energy production was estimated to reach US$93 billion by 2020. In the overall bioenergy market, bio-liquid fuels, mostly bio-alcohol and bio-diesel, will continue to be the focus of the industry in the coming years, mainly in the Americas, such as the United States, Brazil and Argentina, which have advantages in terms of raw materials. The market for biomass heat and power is dominated by Europe, the US and China. On the technological front, the development of bioenergy technologies is centered on the use of non-edible raw materials such as cellulose and algae, as well as diversified sources. Cellulose hydrolysis, algae bioenergy and biomass liquefaction are the highlights of the development. Taiwan’s bioenergy industry has been gaining ground in recent years, thanks to the promotion of policies. In terms of biomass power generation, the installed capacity reached 626,000 kilowatts as at the end of Dec 2007. As regards biomass fuels, the fullscale launch of B1 biodiesel commenced in July 2007.
In the biomass and thermal energy sector, the market grew at an average annual rate of 10.8% from 2004 to 2007, with a market size of approx. US$1.6 billion in 2007. Since Europe and the US have a demand for thermal energy in winter, biomass and thermal energy development are principally in those two regions, which, coupled with the sparsely populated areas, are suitable for decentralized, small-scale combined heat and power supply systems. Biomass raw materials such as agricultural and forestry crops and waste materials can be collected, dried and compressed to produce a small, high-density derived fuel. This treated derived fuel is easily transportable and has a high calorific value per unit volume, making it suitable for wide use in small-scale boilers, district heat supply, combined heat and power plants and power stations.
Green energy is inexhaustible, has less impact on the environment than conventional energy and reduces the greenhouse effect. Recently, gas-fired boilers have been developed by harnessing the properties of biomass fuels, which use pyrolysis, oxidation and reduction to produce CO (carbon monoxide), H2 (hydrogen) and CH4 (methane) for gas supply to minimize dust and dioxin emissions. Gas boilers are less expensive than pellet boilers and the use of crushed biomass material eliminates the need to crush it into pellets, saving the machine’s power.
(3) Prospects for the LED Lighting Department
Since entering the lighting industry in 2009, the Company’s product portfolio has been split between traditional incandescent and LED Christmas lights, with each accounting for 50% of turnover. With environmental awareness on the rise, the Company has gradually reduced the proportion of conventional incandescent lamps to below 10% of turnover in 2014, moving towards the higher margin LED products. In 2015, conventional incandescent products were brought down to under 5%, and in 2016, the Company is on track to lower its proportion to below 4%.
91
With the general awareness of the importance of patent rights in the European and American markets, increasing our own patent protection measures will not only consolidate our customers, but will also be of great benefit to our business development, and the actual benefits are gradually taking shape. From the very beginning of our entry into the market, it was part of our strategy to build on our quality and differentiate the market. After several years of hard work, this reputation has been affirmed by customers in the sector and based on the above, the Company has set its sights on expanding its market share.
(4) Prospects for the Development District
Over the years, the market demand has seen an increase. To satisfy the demand, boost production capacity and raise profitability, overseas investment has become the way forward for Taiwanese enterprises. Cosmo Electronics Corp has had a presence in Indonesia since 2007 and has been in touch with the Indonesian market for many years now. The Company is familiar with the local market conditions, which gives it added advantages. Indonesia’s abundant local labor force, international investment environment and the enforcement of relevant policies can also help facilitate the development progress. The Phase I industrial park was sold out in the first half of 2018 and delivered to Taiwan Paiho Limited for use. Going forward, land preparation, construction of industrial parks, residential complexes, commercial districts and infrastructures will proceed, with a view to attracting companies to move in and boosting profitability for the Group and its shareholders.
(5) Smart street lighting
The world is currently dealing with “light poles without intelligent devices,” “markets without standards.” The absence of standard specifications worldwide and in the of industry means that the smart light poles may not work together with the next 2 blocks of that on the information consolidation because of the different contractors and differ in technical specifications. As such, there is still a lot of room for the integration and growth of intelligent light poles in the future.

-
(2) Ratio of long-term capital to property, plant, and equipment = (total equity + non-current liabilities) / net amount of property, plant, and equipment.
-
Solvency
-
(1) Current ratio = Current assets / current liabilities.
-
(2) Current ratio = Current assets / current liabilities.
-
(3) Interest coverage ratio = Net profit before tax and interest / interest expenses.
-
Operating performance
-
(1) Accounts receivable (including accounts receivable and Note s receivable resulting from operation) turnover = Net sales / balance of average accounts receivable (including accounts receivable and Note s receivable resulting from operation).
-
(2) Average collection days = 365 / receivables turnover rate.
-
(3) Inventory turnover rate = Cost of sales / average inventory.
-
(4) Accounts payable (including accounts payable and Notes payable resulting from operation)
116
turnover = Cost of sales / balance of average accounts payable (including accounts payable and Notes payable resulting from operation).
-
(5) Average days for sale = 365 / Inventory turnover rate.
-
(6) Property, plant, and equipment turnover rate = Net sales / Average net property, plant, and equipment.
-
(7) Total asset turnover rate = Net sales / Average total assets.
-
Profitability
-
(1) Return on assets (ROA) = [Net income after income tax + Interest expenses * (1 - tax rate)] / Average total assets.
-
(2) Return on equity = Net income after tax / Average equity.
-
(3) Net margin = Net income after tax / Net sales.
-
(4) Earnings per share = (Net income (loss) attributable to owners of parent company – Dividends on preferred shares) / Weighted average number of issued shares.
-
Cash flow
-
(1) Cash flow ratio = Net operating cash flow / Current liabilities.
-
(2) Net cash flow adequacy ratio = Net cash flow from operating activities in the most recent five years / (Capital expenditure + Increase in inventory + Cash dividends) in the most recent five years.
-
(3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (Net cash flow from operating activities - Cash dividends) / (Gross of property, plant and equipment + Long-term investment + Other non-current assets + Working capital).
-
Leverage:
-
(1) Degree of operating leverage = (Net operating revenue - Variable operating costs and expenses) / Operating income
-
(2) Degree of financial Leverage = Operating profit / (Operating profit - Interest expenses).
-
Note 3: If the Company’s stock has no par value or the par value of each share is not NT$10, the calculation related to its ratio to the paid-in capital in the preceding paragraph shall be the ratio to the equity attributable to owners of parent company in the balance sheet.
