In the first quarter of 2025, 80% of our revenue was from 9% of countries having businesses with us. Among all 34 product lines, 80% of the revenue was from 12% of the sales products.

3. Future development strategies

Loop Telecom will continue to deepen its focus on the MCC critical communication market, concentrating on four main areas: high-speed encrypted transmission, TDM/IP integration, enterprise cybersecurity, and IIoT applications.

 G7800 Platform Upgrade

New modules will be introduced, including a 600G master control card, MACsec/IPsec encryption, and EoS protocol conversion, enhancing high-speed transmission and cybersecurity protection capabilities.

9

  • TDM/IP Hybrid Transmission Module

  • Provide circuit emulation and protection modules for E1/DS1 and DS3 interfaces, supporting smooth migration from legacy TDM systems to full IP-based network architectures.

  • Enterprise/Government Cybersecurity Solutions

  • Comprehensive offerings include Next-Gen Secured Office (ISS2180), MCC Firewall (ISS2150), and AI-powered Network Management (iNET/iNMS) integrated platform, enhancing cybersecurity protection and operational efficiency.

  • IIoT and OT Information Security Equipment

  • Launch of IoT sensors (IoT0510), industrial control cybersecurity appliances, and the government GCB-compliant cybersecurity platform (ISS2110), establishing end-to-end industrial cybersecurity protection architecture.

Looking forward to the future, we will continue to deepen our "mission-critical, secure, and intelligent" product strategy and create globally competitive highreliability network solutions with the G7800 as the core platform. Regarding our successful backbone transmission case, our marketing strategy will leverage this experience to engage with the international market. In next-generation solutions, our development team will integrate product software and hardware functionalities to develop vertically integrated maintenance services for international customers, generating additional revenue streams and enhancing operational performance. Under the new business framework, the MCC Networking Product Portfolio will strengthen the utilization of automated testing systems and expand various product niches, positioning it as a key growth driver for future operations.

Our goal is to enter the top three in the utility market and become the leading brand in MCC transmission solutions. Based on the existing foundation, the Company continues to reinforce its management and makes constant efforts by adhering to the philosophy of continuing to develop new products and explore new markets, continuously creating value to reward shareholders and customers.

4. Effects of the external competitive environment

During the period of uncertain prospects due to the sluggish economy in the external environment, the Company continued to strive to achieve its objective of annual growth for different operations. In 2024, 80% of the revenue came from the 9% of countries having businesses with the Company. Among all 34 product lines, 80% of the revenue was from 12% of the sales products. Adhering to the continuous development of new products and new markets is the way to maintain competitive. In terms of market and industry, we have achieved the effects of dispersed revenue and healthy development in regions worldwide. Certain competitors within the industry exited the market successively, and the dependence of existing customers on Loop Telecom has increased instead of decreased.

10

5. Effects of the regulatory environment and macroeconomic environment

The management team has been keeping abreast of policies and laws, and regulations that may affect the business and operations of the Company. In 2024, changes in relevant laws and regulations had no material effect on the Company's operations.

We wish you, ladies and gentlemen, good health and the best of luck.

Currently, the Board consists of 8 members, including 2 female directors, accounting for 25%. The proportion of either gender has yet to reach one-third. The primary reason is that nominations for board candidates have historically focused on industry experience and professional background, with gender diversity not fully reflected in the selection criteria.

17

To enhance gender diversity on the Board, the Company will continue to implement the following measures:

  • I. Incorporate gender diversity as a consideration in the evaluation and selection process during board elections and supplementary nominations.

  • II. Encourage shareholders with nomination rights to recommend candidates who possess both professional qualifications and gender diversity.

  • III. Regularly review the composition of the Board and optimize it in line with corporate governance guidelines.

consumption, and the
total weight of wastes

and formulated policies
for GHGs emissions
reduction, water
consumption reduction,
or other waste
management?

For waste management and recycling, in response to the energy-saving and carbon dioxide reduction
policies for the achievements of sustainable use of resources, the Company prioritizes the reduction
of garbage volume for the management waste, followed by the consideration for outsourced
reutilization. To duly grasp the flow of waste, we carefully selected the waste clearing supplier and
confirmed the certifications, on-site operations, and the traffic route to ensure all wastes are duly
processed or reused legally, avoiding a second time of pollution to the environment.
The Company is a network equipment solution supplier, and major potential risks, including the
increase in raw material costs and exchange rate fluctuations, may cause impacts and affect its
operations. However, in terms of recycling efficacy, the Company encourages employees to recycle
waste paper for reuse, save electricity, and reduce water consumption to minimize operating costs.
In 2024, the Company conducted its first greenhouse gas inventory, covering the headquarters
includingthe Hsinchu,Taipei,and Tainan offices.

Impact on the Company Response strategy
Physical risks Increased severity of
extreme weather
events such as
typhoons and floods
Medium term Increased
operating costs,
increased
capital
expenditure

Extreme weather events may cause supply chain
disruptions, affecting the Company’s production
and even leading to temporary shutdowns.
Insufficient product supply may further impact
delivery schedules, resulting in increased costs or
product returns from customers. In addition,
extreme climate conditions may cause power
outages or traffic congestion near the plant,
disrupting
production
processes
and
raising
concerns about employee commuting safety,
thereby affecting the production environment and
work
efficiency,
and
ultimately
reducing
productivity.
 The Company has purchased flood and earthquake
insurance, building insurance, and business
interior renovation insurance to mitigate risks
caused by extreme climate events.
 A reasonable inventory management strategy has
been established, maintaining appropriate stock
levels and a secondary backup stock mechanism to
cope with supply chain disruptions or traffic
obstructions, aiming to minimize losses caused by
disasters.
 The Company continues to strengthen employee
training in response to natural disasters.
Opportunities Development and/or
expansion of low-
carbon products and
services

Environmental awareness regarding products or
services in the market will impact the Company,
including shifts in market demand, competitive
advantage,
business
model
innovation,
technological innovation, and environmental image.
Therefore, strengthening the development of
environmentally friendly products, building a
sustainable business model, and incorporating eco-
friendly concepts such as “low-pollution and
disassemblable product design” will help maintain
market competitiveness and achieve sustainable
development.
 The Company’s products comply with ISO 9001
quality
assurance
procedures,
ISO
14001
environmental management certification, ISO
27001 information security certification, and IEC
62443-4-1 (secure product development lifecycle)
certification.
 During the product design stage, emphasis is
placed on energy efficiency, ease of disassembly,
maintenance, and parts replacement, as well as the
use of recycled cardboard boxes.
Opportunities Adoption of energy-
saving measures
Long term Increased
operating costs

The Company’s greenhouse gas emissions are
mainly derived from purchased electricity. Rising
electricity costs pose significant pressure on
corporate carbon reduction. The use of renewable
energy not only effectively reduces carbon
emissions but also aligns with government policies
to save electricity and lower operating costs,
contributing to an enhanced environmental image.
In response to the future trend of green energy, this
also offers a market advantage.
The Company has allocated a budget to replace
outdated equipment with energy-efficient products to
reduce electricity expenses and lower carbon
emissions.

(3) The Company's dividend policy and implementation:

Dividend policy

To continue to expand its scale and improve profitability with equal considerations given to the capital adequacy ratio, the Company adopts the residual dividend policy. The market where the Company operates is the information and communication industry with high growth. In response to the long-term business development, future capital requirements, and long-term financial planning of the Company, and satisfying the cash inflow requirements of shareholders, if the Company records any earnings from its final account, apart from paying all taxes according to the law, it shall first compensate cumulative losses from prior years. It may appropriate special reserve based on the Company's requirements. Then, the remaining balance shall be combined with the cumulative undistributed earnings from prior years; after retaining partial earnings based on the operating status and for a balanced dividend policy, the Company may make distribution after a resolution is made by the shareholders' meeting based on the following principles:

  • A. Remuneration of employees shall be no less than 10%; remuneration of employees may be made in shares or cash; upon the distribution of remuneration of employees, the distribution targets may include employees, who fulfill certain conditions, of subordinated companies; such conditions shall be established by the Board.

  • B. Remuneration of Directors shall be no more than 5%.

  • C. The remaining shall be shareholders' bonuses.

Based on the capital budget planning of the Company, it distributes share dividends to retain the capital required, and the remaining portion may be distributed in cash dividends. The total cash dividend distribution mentioned above shall not be lower than 10% of the total dividend distribution, in principle. If the Company has no earnings or retained earnings of the year, no dividend or bonus shall be distributed. For earning distribution, the Company distributes cash dividends to shareholders. In 2024, earnings available for distribution was NT$195,603,864, and the Company intends to distribute NT$3.3 per share (totaling NT$187,230,252). The proposal is awaiting approval from the 2025 annual shareholders' meeting. The calculation of cash dividends shall be rounded to NT$1 based on the distribution ratio; the total fractional amount less than NT$1 is included in other income of the Company. Based on the Company Act amended in May 2015 and the amended Articles approved by the shareholders' meeting in June 2016, the Company distribute no less than 10% and no more than 5% of the net profit before tax of the period before deducting remuneration of employees and remuneration of Directors and supervisors as the remuneration of employees and remuneration of Directors, respectively.

a. Upstream

The upstream of the communication and networking industry includes network IC chips, microprocessors, GPS and sensor chips, memory, active/passive elements, PCBs, cooling fans and antenna, plastic and metal cover, and other parts and components of relevant communication products that are primarily used in the equipment of the downstream of the communication and networking industry.

Taiwanese companies occupy a material position in the global broadband terminal industry, including the upstream chips and parts and components for xDSL modems, Cable Modem, PON CPE, Wi-Fi routers, LTE CPE, exchanger, and other products, and the downstream brand terminal or foundry businesses. For main chips, wired network chips may be divided into wide area network (WAN) and local area network (LAN) chips. WAN terminals include xDSL, cable modem, and FTTH; the mainstream LAN terminals are PLC and MoCA.

b. Downstream

The downstream of the communication and networking industry can be divided into network equipment, optical communication equipment, wireless communication equipment, wired communication equipment, and telecommunication service industries.

  • b-1 network equipment: Major products are modems, network cards, gateways, routers, and STBs. With the continual popularization of the 4K video and audio content and the fast penetration of IoT and mobile devices in markets of all countries, the requirements for 4G LTE modems, wireless modules, VDSL Modem, Cable Modem, PON ONU, and high-end home gateway continued to increase. In addition, the emergence of smart home applications and home

69

network connection video services has driven the shipping of OTT network STBs, smart Wi-Fi routers, broadband power cables, smart speakers, and other smart household end products.

  • b-2 Optical communication equipment: Major products include optical cable, optical active and passive elements, and optical transmission terminal equipment. Due to the continual increase the global broadband users and the emergence of the cloud calculation industry, telecommunication companies worldwide have been actively providing various integrated services (i.e., network TV, video conference, video surveillance, and smart household applications) to improve the average revenue contributions of users. Internet companies have also accelerated the establishment of global data centers, which brought about the growth in the demand for high bandwidth equipment and allows the global communication industry to attache attention to the development of FTTH and optical communication parts and components. FTTH networks and mobile broadband networks have driven the growth in PON terminals and optical receiver module industries. The demand for intranet and external connection of data centers brought about the development of 40G/100G optical receivers, AOCs, and other elements. At the current stage, multiple optical communication companies in Taiwan have invested in active and passive optical elements, and the major products include GPON/EPON terminal products, BOSA on Board, and optical receivers for FTTH, data centers, and mobile stations.

  • b-3 Wireless communication equipment: Major products include mobile phones, GPS systems, satellite and micro-communication equipment. The development of hand-held devices will turn to simple and humanized interfaces and integration with back-end application service trends, and application software and content service will be valued. Furthermore, with the complete wireless communication infrastructure and the increase in transmission speed, device and vertical markets turned to network connection and smart IoT applications, facilitating the rapid expansion of the scale of the wireless communication equipment market. At present, the mainstream wireless communication equipment is smartphones, and large-scale international companies, including Apple, Huawei, and Samsung, occupy the leading position. Chinese companies, including Xiaomi, Oppo, and Vivo, rose to catch up and have successfully entered the international market; the intense competition continued. In other fields, many Taiwanese companies actively invested in the vehicle information/communication and entertainment market and launched automotive wireless modules, GPS, vehicle video and audio, vehicle sensors, and other equipment.

  • b-4 Wired communication equipment: Include analog and Internet telephones, facsimile, and network cameras. Within the scope, major products developed by communication companies in Taiwan include Internet telephones, entire sets of network communication systems (i.e., network telephone exchangers and Internet telephone gateways), online video conference meeting devices, and other user products. Due to the software development of the Internet telephone industry and the popularization of social media communication, large-scale international companies took the lead in the market. The room for the development of relevant domestic hardware producers

70

was compressed, and they are attempting to integrate mobile and social media communication application models to launch new products.

  • b-5 Telecommunication industry: As of 2019 Q2, there are 570 telecommunication companies in over 180 countries worldwide that provide 4G LTE commercial network services, and the number of accumulated users reached 3.6 billion, with an annual growth rate of 43%; LET users accounted for 42% of total mobile users, giving rise to over 5,000 user devices. The enormous data flows generated after the high-speed growth of mobile users continued to pose challenges to telecommunication companies in terms of connection speed and transmission quality, and signal optimization systems upon network congestion. Governments in different countries have also opened up for mobile telecommunication companies to introduce commercial small-cell equipment to provide high-quality mobile network services.

C. Development trends of products

In terms of wired broadband service constructions, broadband service providers in different countries are actively carrying out a new wave of high-speed broadband network constructions in response to the broadband popularization policies of governments and the stimulation of competition within the industry by adopting a 1Gbps connection as the target. Overall, telecommunication companies worldwide are focusing on improving the existing communication quality and exploring new application services to satisfy the basic requirements of users for high-speed connection by adopting both fixed network and 4G LTE communication; the new generation smart household services have also been launched and is marketed by using the all-in-one mobile/fixed network packaging service model.

Observing the development trends of the wired broadband market in 2019, for FTTH, three major telecommunication companies were actively making arrangements for FTTx and selectively upgrading to 10G PON network in urban areas; European and American telecommunication companies have also followed up in response to the demand in the local markets. For xDSL, AT&T in the U.S., British Telecom, Deutsche Telekom, Chunghwa Telecom, and leading telecommunication companies worldwide have continued to purchase VDSL equipment of G.fast specifications for network upgrades. In terms of cable modems, large-scale wired television broadcasting companies in Europe and America (i.e., Comcast and Liberty Global) continued to expand the procurement of DOCSIS3.1 Cable Modem and network constructions; the advances in technologies and the development trends of Gigabit broadband will bring about the continual growth of the global wired broadband market.

Regarding mobile broadband networks, global telecommunication companies continued to make arrangements for the advanced version of the 4G LTE (LTEAdvanced/LTE-Advanced Pro) network in 2019 and introduced corresponding small-scale stations for enterprises and large indoor/outdoor public areas, giving rise to the demand for mobile communication equipment and parts and components. In addition, the lower power wide area network (LPWAN) has become the new leverage for telecommunication companies to develop IoT services; apart from LoRa and Sigfox successively secured the opportunities for system installation in North America, Europe, and Asia, Vodafone, SK Telecom,

71

T-Mobile, and other major mobile telecommunication companies in Europe and America have also commenced the commercial services by adopting the NBIoT technologies launched by 3GPP in 2017, becoming new business opportunities worthy of attention in the wireless WAN industry.

Lastly, for LAN, Wi-Fi remains the most popular technology. With the continual expansion of the scope of application products, the scale of the overall Wi-Fi market continued to create a new high. Due to the slowdown of shipping of major application products, including smartphones, PC, tablets, smart TV, other home appliance products, and IoT devices used in various smart fields have become the material growing momentum of Wi-Fi. In particular, the market of emerging wearable devices (i.e., smart watches, VR head-wear displays, smart speakers, and other products) recorded favorable performance, which will give rise to the global shipping of Wi-Fi equipment in 2019.

When 5G enters the stage of commercialization, despite the gaps between 5G proprietary technologies and the mobile communication industry in Taiwan, we hope to actively prepare the 5G innovative technologies and product R&D in the future based on relevant R&D experience of WiMAX/LTE, 3G/4G ODM/OEM experience and ability foundation, and the R&D and manufacturing advantages of parts and components for the semiconductor and information/communication terminal electronics to create innovative application services, In the hope of developing products, systems, sub-systems, elements, and innovative applications with advantages of the Taiwanese industries in the 5G era.

For instance, establish the prototype of proprietary 5G product systems, including mm-wave ultra-high frequency communication system, software virtualization technologies (i.e., small station virtualization, iMEC, and light vEPC) in the initial development period of 5G, make arrangements for crucial technologies of products, and target the improvement of the proprietary technologies of the domestic 5G network communication industry and the arrangements for core patents in Taiwan to support the R&D gaps (i.e., core network and IoT application platform) of the communication industry in Taiwan, and in turn, bring about the entrance into the system integration field of the network communication industry.

D. Product competitive status

Major competitors of the Company worldwide include ABB, Siemens, Nokia (Alcatel-Lucent), Cisco, Huawei, and other major equipment companies. Facing the intense industry competition and market changes, the communication system integration solutions developed, produced, marketed, and established by Loop Telecom have spread across Asia, Europe, America, Australia, the Middle East, and other countries, proving that the reliability, stability, and durability are recognized and supported worldwide.

b. Technologies or products successfully developed in the most recent five years

b-1 2006-2008

The demand in the global communication industry has recovered to normal from mid-2006, and the regional and product markets with requirements are different from the bubble economy before 2002. The R&D efforts and achievements of the Company during 2002 and 2007 well fit. In particular, Loop-iNMS can help telecommunication companies to more effectively manage the entire network system. The Company will develop more products for the application of Loop-iNMS in the following years to achieve success by way of total solutions, avoiding the vicious cycle of haggling after the popularization of hardware products. In 2007, we successfully developed Loop-IP 6700 and Loop-IP 6416, which can provide transmission IP for copper wire TDM systems and transmission of TDM for IP networks to serve as the connection of new and old networks. Due to the popularization of the Internet and the consideration of installation costs, users mostly connect to their corporate network via Ethernet; therefore, reliable Ethernet line services in line with economic benefits are required. The SDH backbone network operated by operators for years undoubtedly is the most reliable backbone transmission network in line with economic benefits for Ethernet. In recent years, optical communication products have become mainstream, and the Company has developed Loop-O 9100S, Loop-O 9400S, Loop-O 9400R, and Loop-O 9500 in 2008 and upgraded to STM-16/OC-48 and products with a higher speed to align with the international mainstream.

b-2 2008-2010

In the future, the Company will continue to develop new products and reinforce new technologies; it is estimated to have the following series of products:

  • 2-1 Copper family:

Copper wire transmission is no longer the mainstream application in the market at present. Due to the increase in the demand for network bandwidth speed, network transmission has turned from the traditional copper wire to optical communication products (i.e., SDH and IP). However, in the

73

third world, Southeast Asia, and South Asia markets, and for particular users (i.e., military customers), there is potentially enormous market demand. Currently, we majorly focus on overseas and domestic tenders. Due to the product stability, the copper wire transmission products of the Company are the first choices for many telecommunication companies.

In the past, the Company has developed a series of copper wire transmission access products. For example: Loop-H 3900S/H 3900R, Loop-H 3300S/H3300R, Loop-H 3310S/H3310R, Loop-H 3300-3S, and other products. The design is for 1-pair (2 wires) and 2-pair (4 wires) copper wire transmission access products. At present, it develops multi-pair copper cables (4pair or 8-pair) for point-to-point applications. They can improve the effective transmission bandwidth of Ethernet to 20-40Mbps with a transmission distance of 5km or above. Loop-H 3304R-Eth-2bis is applied to bonding protocol that is developed and designed by us using FPGA; it provides high capacity G.SHDSL (rack cards) and supports Ethernet transmission interfaces.

Future sales and application:

As the demand for optical over copper wire communication has become the mainstream strategy of telecommunication companies worldwide, the ratio of the copper wire access product market has been decreasing on a yearly basis; alongside the matured product technologies, the Company will not invest additional R&D human resources to the series products; at present it focuses on the sales via domestic and foreign tenders. However, if a tender has special functional requirements, the Company will provide additional customized services to satisfy customers' requirements, which is something that general large-scale telecommunication equipment companies are incapable of.

2-2 PDH family:

Multiplexers performing 64K time-slot exchanges by using the E1 interface are extensively used by global telecommunication companies and public utility and private network companies due to multiple low-speed (N x 64K) interface daughter cards and flexible use. The Company developed and designed daughter cards by using FPGA to provide diverse functional interfaces for users to access applications. In the past, the Company has developed low-speed (64K) time-slot exchange multiplexers, such as AM3410, AM3420, AM3420-5U, and AM3440-A/B/C/D. In particular, the AM3440 series can compete with products from large-scale companies (i.e., ALCATEL-LUCENT 1511MAX), and the product functions went even further.

Currently: relevant product series developed by the Company are as follows:

Loop-AM 3440-A: 5U exchange multiplexers with multiple low-speed daughter cards to connect to the interface. Loop-AM 3440-B: 2.5U exchange multiplexers with multiple low-speed daughter cards to connect to the interface.

74

Loop-AM 3440-C: 3U exchange multiplexers with multiple low-speed daughter cards to connect to the interface. Loop-AM 3440-D: 2U exchange multiplexers with multiple low-speed daughter cards to connect to the interface. Loop-V 4200-9: 1U exchange multiplexers with multiple lowspeed daughter cards to connect to the interface.

Loop-V 4200-28: exchange multiplexers with multiple lowspeed daughter cards and high-speed (STM-1/DS3/E3) connections to the interface.

Future sales and application:

The revenue from the AM 3440 series products is the main force of the Company currently. It will continue to add cards based on the interface requirements of major customers in the hope of recording continual growth of its revenue, providing customized services for system functions, and improving the core functions of products to fulfill the application-oriented requirements of customers. So far, the development of the TDMoE interface card (used in Loop-AM 3440-A /B /C) for Loop-AM 3440 is completed, and the development of additional SDH/SONET interface for exchange multiplexers is completed to strengthen the comprehensiveness of system application functions of series products, which will have substantial help for the sales in the global market, create outstanding performance, and stimulate the continual growth of revenue in the future.

The TDMoE interface allows Loop-AM 3440 series products to become cross-field products that not only support traditional TDM uploading interface (E1/T1) but also support IP uploading interface (TDM data/voice over IP network). In particular, Loop-AM 3440 further provided a mutual protection system between TDM and IP; the material functional innovation allows the field of sales of the series products to spread to the telecommunication market, electricity market, transportation, and other transportation networks.

Based on the market demand, before the backbone of the telecommunication transmission network upgrades to IP, the demand for PDH transmission equipment increased instead of decreased. Also, as large-scale equipment companies were focusing on the development of IP backbone development, the Company grasped the opportunities arising thereof and actively cooperated with large-scale equipment companies, allowing them to provide overall system transmission solutions, and provided ODM services for large-scale companies to secure and grasp additional business opportunities for the Company. Furthermore, for air traffic and electric power communication, the Company also designed customized products for customers in the hope of improving its sales performance.

2-3 Hybrid transmission products:

For transmission and access equipment that can connect to the traditional TDM network and the latest Ethernet, as the traditional TDM network has been used for years, it is unable to fully replace them in a short period of time. The latest

75

Ethernet has features of low costs and high bandwidth that significantly exceed the traditional TDM network. Hybrid transmission products are transmission and access products required for the succession of IP and TDM transmission markets.

The transmission equipment (Loop-IP 6700-TDMoE/IP6716TDMoE/IP6702-TDMoE/AM3440-TDMoE /IP6440-

EoPDH/IP6416-EoPDH) developed by the Company at present allows the existing TDM users to connect to Ethernet or Ethernet users to connect to TDM network, achieving the best economic benefits. The substantial benefits are as follows:

Transmit traditional TDM data (E1/T1/V.35) via Ethernet (TDMoE); transmit data on Ethernet via TDM network (EoPDH-IP inverse multiplexer); TDMoE (TDM over Ethernet daughter cards): provide hybrid equipment for Loop-AM 3440 to transform from the initial TDM transmission equipment to TDM and IP uploading interface.

Future sales and application:

Ethernet has become the mainstream technology of global telecommunication companies. In the future, the major development of the series products is to transmit traditional TDM data (E1/T1/V.35) via Ethernet (circuit simulation). In the future, the demand in the power and telecommunication markets will be considerable. However, Loop-IP 6716 is currently available for the 16-E1 TDMoE circuit simulator. In 2011, the Company completed the Loop-IP 6702, which is a 2- E1 TDMoE circuit simulator with low costs. The development of the product focuses on the 2-E1 TDMoE circuit simulators required in the markets of developing countries. In 2014, the Company developed Loop-IP 6763, which provides 63E1/STM-1 TDMoE circuit simulators. Therefore, the Company is able to provide comprehensive TDMoE solutions. Moreover, the Company is developing Loop-G 7860, equipment for To10G.

b-3 2010-2014

3-1 IP access:

IP transmission equipment has been the trend in recent years; gigabit service access network products, IP-access demarcation devices, IP-based mobile backhaul, industrial ethernet, and pure optical fiber WDM have been our R&D focuses. Currently, the Company is actively developing the LOOP OS system that can perform the modulization of the functions required by the IP network. Leveraging the feature, developing modules may be shared; the development system will also be able to effectively shorten the development period of products. For future applications, the development of new IP products will focus on the time to market; therefore, the development of the LOOP OS system is in line with the requirement. In the future, as high-speed Ethernet has become the mainstream access network of global telecommunication companies, the major product development of the series products will focus on the following future applications. (1) Ethernet demarcation

76

device (2) IP mobile backhaul) (3) 1G/10Gbps gigabit multiaccess platform) (4) industrial Ethernet. (5) High-speed 10G L2/L3 industrial Ethernet switch.

3-2 Wireless family:

The Company has been actively developing high-performance wireless access equipment of low price; therefore, apart from developing the 2.4/5.8G, multi-SSID Loop-W 8150 WiFi with instant detection of transmission speed, it also developed a built-in function module to respond to the demand for LTE transmission. The launch of LTE provided a new market, and there will be a series of new applications structure based on the LTE 4G network in the following three to five years. As such, the Company invested in the R&D of LTE 4G to respond to the immense business opportunities.

3-3 SDH family:

It is estimated that traditional communication products, including CSU/DSU, MUX, DLC, Channel Bank, and other products, will enter the latter stage of the product lifecycle with an insignificant growth rate, and optical communication equipment will rise. After experiencing the technology bubbles in 2000, the optical communication market showed a stable recovery in recent years. In the long run, the emergence of multi-media applications will stimulate the increase in the demand of household and corporate users for transmission speed; it is estimated that the global optical communication market will maintain a stable growth momentum. According to the estimation of Gartner, a research and survey institution, the number of global optical fiber users will formally exceed 100 million in 2011 and reach 200 million by 2014, giving rise to immense business opportunities.

b-4 2016-2020

With over two decades of R&D experience accumulated, the Company integrated multiple service interfaces of PDH, SDH fiber technologies, Ethernet router technologies, and MPLS technologies as a comprehensive network solution. It included the cross-field and

78

cross-company product integration into the Company's network system to directly face end users (i.e., electric power communication and military network of the government), directly cooperate with large-scale international SI companies (i.e., NEC), and directly cooperate with IoT customers (i.e., power plants, public transport, and governmental agencies) to develop new products in the hope of providing popular products and comprehensive solutions under the trends of the IoT industry.

b-5 2021-2025

For many years, Loop Telecom has provided customers with comprehensive solutions for mission-critical communications (MCC), spanning from the user access layer to the network core layer. Currently, in key mission-critical communication networks for sectors such as power utilities and government agencies, business operations are gradually shifting toward IP data, video, and cloud services. The traditional SDH/SONET backbone network infrastructure, built on TDM technology, is increasingly constrained by the limited flexibility of SDH bandwidth utilization and the high cost of upgrades, and is thus expected to gradually phase out of the mainstream market. As a result, over the next 5 to 10 years, it is anticipated that most users will transition to solutions based on packet transmission technologies, ushering in a new wave of backbone infrastructure replacement. To contend with rapidly changing market needs, Loop Telecom's product line includes over 30 products, and it has been committed to the R&D of new products such as G7860A, WDM1800, O9400-PTN10G, O9500-PTN10G, and other mixed service multiplexers to provide excellent transition plans for customers during the transitional period. At the same time, this enables customers to perform end-to-end circuit management in the new generation packet transmission network through a network management system similar to the concept of TDM networks, potentially saving customers the training costs of maintenance and operation personnel. Additionally, we have developed our own ultra low latency zero packet drop protection switching technology for the access service product line (AM3440, IP6704A), which can solve the main hindrances that mission-critical users will encounter when facing the transition from backbone technology to packet transmission network, such as uncontrollable delay variation and asymmetric delay, etc. Building upon these innovative technologies, Loop Telecom's comprehensive upgrade from backbone transmission to service access and network management systems will provide customers with dozens of MCC backbone network to access end-to-end solutions.

To seize highly competitive orders and contracts, the development of the new G7800 product is being accelerated, along with strengthened R&D management. In the MCC switch market, the Company is committed to launching solutions that meet market demands and stand up to rigorous validation. Currently, several major international companies have expressed interest in initiating ODM cooperation with the Company, and development of the next-generation switch solution has already commenced. At the same time, the commercialization of

79

cybersecurity solutions is being expedited to enter the market and generate revenue as soon as possible, with a strong emphasis on promotion and effective management. Loop Telecom will expand its market presence by actively participating in major communication exhibitions held worldwide and organizing product seminars. Through showcasing the performance and features of new Loop products, the Company aims to increase exposure and enhance brand visibility.

Regarding the marketing strategy for sharing the experience of the successful new backbone transmission case of Loop Telecom with the international society, in the next generation of solutions, Loop Telecom's development team will integrate product software and hardware functionalities to develop vertically integrated maintenance services for international market customers, which is certain to bring more orders and enhance operational performance. Combining the MCC networking product portfolio under the new business and expanding the niche of various products, it is likely to become the growth focus for operations in the future.

Our goal is to enter the top three in the utility market and become the leading brand in MCC transmission solutions. Based on the existing foundation, the Company continues to reinforce its management and makes constant efforts by adhering to the philosophy of continuing to develop new products and explore new markets. In the future, the Company will become a leader, grasp business opportunities, create excellent performance, and continues to strive for the maximized operating performance for all shareholders.

B. Current plant for the most recent year and new products being developed

The Company is prominently launching its flagship model, the Loop-G7800, positioned as a next-generation PTN high-bandwidth multi-functional transmission access device. It marks Loop Telecom's official entry into the MCC field, expanding both its product portfolio and technological depth. The Loop-G7800 is based on the Company's years of accumulated and continuously innovative technology. At the same time, the Company has invested heavily in developing a source code management integrated automated testing platform to enhance quality management in every stage from R&D to production. In addition to serving as a backbone node, the Company also continue to develop a dozen types of interface cards that accommodate multiple rates of service. This enables support for a range of network interfaces from traditional lowspeed 64K circuits to next-generation critical mission backbone requirements of 100G packet transmission networks, all within a single system. Furthermore, configurations can be tailored according to customer applications.

With the Loop-G7800 integrating multiple key core advantages, customers will gain greater flexibility and foresight in network planning. Whether for phased implementation under budget-constrained projects or full-scale upgrades to next-generation transmission architectures, the G7800 series is fully equipped to support such needs. The product has already attracted significant attention from numerous partners, and its future growth potential is highly promising.

Except for the major backbone and access network product series used worldwide, Loop Telecom has explored Information Security System (ISS), Artificial Intelligence (AI), iNMS-Big Data Analysis/AI, automatic system diagnosis and repair, iNET-Circuit Creation/Auto-Diagnostic, corporate new

80

era office network, corporate 5G private network, and other new technologies in recent years to expand into new markets of corporate and governmental information safety network overall solution development. In recent years, due to frequent information security events, the requirements for information security of corporations and the government have been increasing. Loop Telecom has obtained ISO27001 and IEC62443-4-1 information security certification and performed a firmware upgrade for different products catering to the MCC market to support FIPS 140-3. Meanwhile, the Company also plans to launch the Loop-ISS2150 mission-critical network firewall and LoopISS2110 government configuration baseline network setting management system to assist customers in establishing the optimized MCC information security protection environment.

  • a. Access multiplexer series products

  • Loop-AM3440 of the Company is widely adopted worldwide, including the power system, transportation, governmental and military communication network, and other markets in Taiwan. Its high reliability, stability, various access interfaces, and the application cards developed based on customers' application requirements allow Loop-AM3440 to continue to maintain the leading position in the access multiplexer market. Broadband packet backbone networks have become popular; however, the tradition TDM access service for end equipment is still generally being used. In response to market demands, the Company has utilized proprietary FPGA technology to design and develop the new generation control card, AM3440, along with an expansion backplane featuring Ethernet high-speed buses. This enables it to meet the end-to-end service communication requirements for various access services in TDM and packet hybrid networks. Due to differences in transmission characteristics between packet networks and the constant bit rate (CBR) performance of TDM networks, meeting stringent quality requirements such as low latency for critical mission services becomes even more challenging. The Company’s self-developed end-to-end packet loss protection algorithm has the capability to meet the latency requirements of end-to-end services in packet network environments, and has been tested and verified by major international companies. Furthermore, to address the cybersecurity requirements of critical mission networks, the Company in 2023 obtained validation for compliance with the United States Federal Information Processing Standards (FIPS) 140-3 security standard for cryptographic modules. In 2024, the Company also developed MPLS-TP transmission capabilities on the AM3440 platform, enabling it to serve as an edge node for small-scale MPLS core networks. This provides customers with a flexible deployment solution that supports multi-service integration, lowlatency transmission, and highly stable operation under various conditions, ranging from 5U to 1U access network levels and space constraints.

b. Optical communication equipment

Due to the development of optoelectronic technologies, optoelectronic cables with high transmission bandwidth with an attenuation of less than 1dB each km may be produced in mass. Together with the development of high-order digital multiplex technologies and the development of highperformance "optoelectronic devices," high-speed, high-capacity optical communication systems with a transmission speed per second reaching 90million "bits," even 400 million "bits" per second have entered the stage of practical use. Light can also generate a series of patterns by flashing

81

(i.e., on and off of the flashlight), which is called the "optical signal." Light possesses greater transmission information capacity than power; that is, light can surely generate shorter pulses and form patterns of high density and abundant information within the same period of time. Under such speed, "stacks" are formed by combining such graphic units to transmit multiple different information within one fiber. This is the reason why "optical fiber" is able to concurrently accommodate much information for transmission.

Advantages of optical fiber communication

A. Long-distance communication with a reduction in costs:

  1. If an optical fiber with a 1.3µm wavelength for transmission, there is a loss of approximately 0.4-0.5dB per km, an optical fiber with a 1.5µm wavelength has a low transmission loss of approximately 0.2-0.25dB per km.

  2. Compared to traditional copper cable transmission systems, the distance between repeaters for optical communication is lengthened to tens of kilometers, and optical communication can significantly reduce the number of repeaters, reducing the costs of communication systems.

  3. For example, the distance between Taipei and Keelung is slightly over 20 kilometers; if an optical fiber connection is adopted, the establishment of a large-scale machine room in Keelung is not required. The low transmission loss of optical fibers lengthens the transmission distance between repeaters and reduces the costs and complexity of systems; therefore, optical fibers are more suitable for long-term transmission.

  4. B. Optical fibers are delicate, light, and flexible and may be easily bounded; therefore, when optical fibers are bounded as optical cables for laying and installation, they save room for pipes. Optical fibers effectively improve the use rate of pipes, possess high economic efficiency for allocation rooms, and are suitable for aircraft, satellites, and vessels.

  5. C. Optical fibers possess enormous communication bandwidth reaching 1-2GHz or above. The bandwidth of general cable modems is approximately 330MHz-550MHz; in comparison, optical fibers possess ultra-high signal carrier capacity.

  6. D. Optical fiber materials are generally quartz glass, which has noncorrosive, fire-proof, and water-proof characteristics and long, useful life. In addition, optical fibers have favorable flexibility and adaptability to perfectly protect wrappers and tensile substances, allowing optical fiber transmission to save operating costs.

  7. E. They won't be affected by electromagnetic waves, applicable to fields that may be easily stroke by lightning or high power fields, significantly improving the fidelity for communication.

  8. F. With high confidentiality, signals will not radiate outside of optical fibers, which is suitable for military, bank connections, and computer networks.

Due to the abovementioned advantages of optical fiber systems, countries are optimistic about the prospects of optical fiber communication and have invested major capital and human resources in R&D. With the arrival of the information era, communication networks of high capacity, low loss, and favorable reliability are fundamental, and optical fiber communication systems are the best options. Therefore, it is estimated that

82

the majority of the copper cable will be replaced with optical fibers in the near future.

The scope of the overall optical fiber communication industry is relatively extensive, from local end equipment, transmission equipment, parts and components in transmission equipment, and user network equipment have proprietary products of optical fiber communication. Even though there are many diverse products, categorization may be made based on products that can have commercial mass production at present; parts and components can be roughly divided into three categories: optical fibers and optical cables made with optical fibers, active optical elements, and passive optical elements.

Due to the numerous advantages of optical fiber systems, the Company has developed several optical fiber system products, such as the LoopO9500R PTN and Loop-O9400R PTN optical Transport Network (OTN) multiplexer equipment. These devices are widely used across global markets, including Taiwan's power systems, transportation, government, and military communication networks. Their high reliability, stability, diverse access interfaces, and customizable interface card designs have reinforced the Company’s leading position in the optical fiber transmission equipment market.

In addition to providing backbone network transmission capabilities, the Company’s optical fiber multiplexer equipment is designed to prevent single points of failure, making it a critical component for ensuring the stable operation of transmission networks. Only network equipment with high fault tolerance and effective downtime risk reduction can guarantee continuous and stable service, delivering a truly reliable network experience.

However, with the advancement of telecommunications technology and the smartification of infrastructure, modern communication protocols can no longer be efficiently transmitted over traditional TDM (Time Division Multiplexing)-based networks. As these legacy networks approach the end of their service life and the availability of spare components diminishes, the industry is actively transitioning to the development of next-generation optical fiber telecom transmission equipment.

The migration from TDM to MPLS-TP-based Packet Transport Network (PTN) has become an inevitable technological evolution. Multiprotocol Label Switching Transport Profile (MPLS-TP) integrates the advantages of packet switching with traditional transport network characteristics and is poised to become the mainstream technology for future carrier networks. Its operational layer is situated between Layer 2 and Layer 3 of the OSI model, commonly referred to as “Layer 2.5,” and it supports labelswitched paths, multi-service transport, and various physical layer technologies.

MPLS-TP technology offers the following features:

  • Incorporates transport-grade Operation, Administration & Maintenance (OAM ) mechanisms, which effectively detect, identify, and locate user-layer faults. It also enables rapid protection switching in the event of link or node failures, thereby reducing maintenance costs.

  • Combines Layer 2 and Layer 3 protocols through a universal packetswitched transport technology.

  • Offers high network survivability and scalability.

  • Compatible with packet switching, TDM, and wavelength technologies,

83

with a universal and distributed control plane architecture.

In summary, MPLS-TP is a core trend in the future development of network technologies. As such, the Company has developed the LoopO9500 PTN and Loop-O9400 PTN transmission multiplexer devices, which represent a new generation of high-capacity fiber optic transmission network equipment. These devices are capable of simultaneously supporting two transmission networks within a single chassis, such as: optical fibers synchronize the SDH/SONET transmission network and MPLS-TP packet switching transmission network to use as the applications of transmission backbone, and the equipment possesses add-drop,

multiplex and de-multiplex functions that can support low-speed audio/data, Teleprotection interface, and the exchange capacity and other interface signal compilation and multiplexing of the high-speed STM16/OC-48, STM-4/OC-12, STM-1/OC-3, DS3, E3, E1, T1, Ethernet, MPLS-TP PTN. It features 100G switching capacity and supports the aggregation of 10G and 1G Ethernet bandwidth interfaces for longdistance backbone transmission over optical cables. The transmission equipment system possesses protection systems and abilities, such as LSP 1+1/1:1 protection, provides the automated routing function and multiservice integration platform (PDH/SONET/SDH/PTN) to connect services of each point via the optical fiber interface, constituting the transmission repeater to complete, integrate, and accommodate various service interfaces, achieving data exchange requirements of different regions. The transmission equipment protocol and the protection system switching time is less than 50ms, which is fully in compliance with the structural specifications of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU): and in compliance with the framework regulations set by the Internet Engineering Task Force (IETF). It is also in compliance with new generation synchronized transmission equipment technologies; the system provides complete applications for high-capacity optical fiber loop backbone networks and comprehensive solutions and is in line with the MCC market.

With the constant growth in the demand for high bandwidth and transfer capacity, equipment functions, and network management, the trend of optical fiber communication has been formed. Certainly, the Company will actively invest a great amount of R&D personnel to constantly develop new series products (i.e., G7800) and next gen 400G transfer capacity SDH to satisfy the enormous demand for communication equipment for the business opportunities in the market. The optical fiber communication industry is also expected to become a new star industry in Taiwan and the global MCC market.

c. IP transmission equipment series products

The Company has launched Loop-IP6704/AM3440-E/G7860A TDMoIP, which can transmit T1, E1, and Voice signals on IP networks and IP6510, which can transmit IP data and Voice signals on PDH networks. For LoopIP 6704/AM3440-E products, we have successfully developed the increase in multiple different interface channels and added TDMoIP function cards for Loop-AM 3440 and Loop-O 9500. IP6704/AM3440-E DACS products combined the FPGA design, special TDM over Ethernet, and TDM DACS, which increased the design difficulty; however, functional upgrades and customization uniqueness of the product are maintained to achieve the timeliness of time to market, possessing

84

advantages. The Company has always been attaching its attention to the development of new products. For the TDM over Ethernet product and equipment market, it is confident that it can develop products that compete with large-scale international companies; by doing so, it hopes to bring up the trend for the R&D capacity of the communication system industry in Taiwan to make further breakthroughs, and to secures a seat as a top-tier large-scale international company. In addition, the design of LOOP G7860A is the first network equipment of the Company that combines SDH/SONET, PDH E1, TDMoIP, Gigabit, Ethernet, POE/POE+, T3, Stackable, and IEEE 1588 V2 functions. The development of G7860A not only satisfies the functional requirements of 2G/3G/4G/5G telecom. With our R&D experience accumulated over two decades and the market penetration capacity of marketing in markets of over 80 countries, we decided to introduce the FPGA design to improve the flexibility for customization and functional upgrades of products in the future, which is the segregation with the design of large-scale companies at present. Due to the introduction of the FPGA design, we possess mobility, timeliness, and uniqueness of customization for the R&D of new functions in the future to satisfy the requirements of customers in the market. The Company focused on the R&D of CO-end and CPE-end equipment. For the R&D segregation, apart from placing the standardized IC into the design, as the existing standards and protocols are not sufficient for the application of actual circuits and functions, peripheral circuit designs and the innovation of FPGA system functions are required to be introduced. The Company adopted the existing standards as the foundation and introduced the peripheral circuit design to create new functionality and innovation breakthroughs. In addition, 61850 switch products for power are equipped with HSR/PRP modules of high availability and are compliant with the majority of the stringent and redundant requirements to ensure no data packet is lost and guarantee that goose data packets will arrive at their destination.

With the rapid development of networks, various emerging services such as Triple Play, Carrier Ethernet (CE), and FTTx have raised higher requirements for traditional packet transport networks. These include aspects such as investment costs, operation and maintenance costs, QoS assurance, service access, network scalability, reliability, and manageability. Compared to traditional transport networks like SDH/SONET, which lack a control plane and cannot meet these new demands, the Company’s G7860A has been designed with MPLS-TP transport network capabilities and supports next-generation packet transport networks with packet service handling capabilities. The G7860A MPLS-TP packet transport network provides 80G switching capacity and supports 10G and 1G Ethernet bandwidth interfaces, enabling signal aggregation and multiplexing for long-distance transmission via optical cables as part of the backbone network architecture. This transmission equipment features multiple protection mechanisms, such as LSP 1+1 / 1:1 protection with automatic rerouting. It supports a multi-service integration platform that interconnects service locations via optical fiber interfaces, forms relay transmission paths, and integrates various service interfaces to meet data exchange needs across different regions. Its protocol and protection mechanism allow for switching times of less than 50ms, ensuring uninterrupted communication.

Since traditional transport networks have already established high

85

standards in reliability and maintenance, MPLS-TP must be equipped with comprehensive OAM capabilities, which primarily include:

  • Fault Management

  • Performance Monitoring

  • Protection Switching

MPLS-TP OAM can monitor the forwarding and connectivity status of network links in real time and provides a basis for evaluating network performance. When a link failure occurs, it assists operators in quickly switching to a backup path to maintain network stability and reliability. The currently planned high-density managed rack-mount L2/L3 61850 switch will provide the flexibility required for applications. Users can choose between different 4/8 port modules and easily customize the device.

This layer 2 or layer 3 switch is designed specifically for substations, supports IPv4 static routing, RIP v1/v2, and OSPFv2. It is based on hardware-based IEEE1588v2 (accredited with nanosecond precision), making it one of the most reliable GMC backups. In addition, SyncE (Synchronous Ethernet) is embedded, fully supporting the PTP Power Profile.

When configured with high availability HSR/PRP modules, it complies with the strictest redundancy requirements, ensuring no packet loss and guaranteeing GOOSE packets reach their respective destinations. Its high efficiency ensures no data packet loss and provides network redundancy self-recovery mechanisms under full load, allowing for the establishment of a reliable network through almost any redundant ring topology. This switch supports ITU-T G.8032 ERPS Ring, IEEE802.1D-2004 RSTP, STP, and MSTP, enabling network redundancy and providing intelligent features such as Quality of Service (QoS), IGMP, Port mirror, etc.

There are two types of power input models available for selection. One is for low DC voltage (redundant 24-120VDC input), and the other is for higher voltage applications commonly found in distribution networks (redundant 110-240VAC, 24-120VDC, or 120-380VDC input). The additional 4x10GE uplink SFP slots make it suitable as the backbone of substations.

d. Corporate grade network management and integration solution With the convergence of IT/OT networks and the rapid advancement of global digital transformation, today’s critical infrastructure networks place greater emphasis on network resilience and information security than ever before. In addition to successively adopting international standard certifications such as ISO 27001, IEC 62443-4-1, and FIPS 1403, the Company has also introduced solutions tailored for traditional OT network administrators. These include mechanisms to prevent single points of failure in DCN management channels, security gateway devices featuring SPI/IDS/IPS/DPI functions, and integrated network management solutions compliant with international cybersecurity regulations. Furthermore, the Company's third-generation network management system adheres to the logical layered network management architecture established by ITU-T, which integrates traditional TDM network management while actively incorporating a diverse range of MPLS-TP/IP next-generation network product equipment, such as G7800, G7820, G7860A, O9400R/PTN, O9500R/PTN, and AM3440/CCPB. From end-to-end service planning and automated circuit provisioning to advanced and rapid network diagnostics and micro-segmentation

86

technology based on network security, the Company provides customers with simple and effective upgrade solutions. These offerings significantly reduce operational and capital expenditure costs associated with system replacement, while comprehensively enhancing the quality and efficiency of service execution.

6. Analysis and evaluation of risks shall be performed for the following matters in the most recent year and up to the publication date of the annual report:

  • (1) Effects of changes in interest rates and exchange rates and inflation on the Company's profit or loss and future countermeasures

  • A. Effects on the Company's profit or loss:

A. Effects on the Company'sprofit or loss:

a. Changes in interest rates

Financial assets and financial liabilities with cash flow risks due to changes in interest rates in 2024 were NT$147,757 thousand and NT$0 thousand. If changes in market interest rates will result in changes in the effective interest rates of such financial products,

113

assuming that the market interest rates increase by 0.1%, the net profit before tax of the consolidated Company in 2023 and 2024 decreases/increases by NT$148 thousand and NT$87 thousand. The main reason is the exposure of the net asset interest rate due to changes in the interest rates of the consolidated company.

b. Changes in exchange rates

The Company has import/export business and capital transactions denominated in foreign currencies. Changes in exchange rates primarily affect the costs of sales and income. In 2024, derivatives (forward exchange agreements) with risks due to changes in exchange rates were US$0 thousand. If changes in market exchange rates will result in changes in the fair value of such financial products, when NTD depreciates by 1% against foreign currencies, the net profit before tax of the Company in 2024 will decrease by NT$2,125 thousand.

c. Inflation

There is no effect caused by inflation.

B. Future countermeasures:

a. Countermeasures for changes in interest rates

The Company has a stable financial structure and favorable credit standing. If there is a demand for capital accommodation, it can obtain capital with reasonable costs from banks or the capital market. For interest rates of bank borrowings, the Company maintains close contact with banks to understand the trending of interest rates to serve as a reference to secure the most favorable borrowing and asset allocation. The main terms of mid-to-longterm working capital are described as follows:

b. Countermeasures for changes in exchange rates

The Company and abundant working capital and has relatively better flexibility to respond to the risk of changes in interest rates in financial operations. For changes in exchange rates, the Company has established a risk assessment team. Our purchases are primarily denominated in USD, which is offset by regular purchase and sales payments. The Company offsets the exchange rate fluctuations of different currencies to achieve a certain level of natural hedging effects from changes in exchange rates. Apart from partial dynamic and natural hedging, the Company sells the remaining currencies by selecting better timing to avoid risks of changes in exchange rates. The Company and customers have reached a consensus for the handling principles; if the appreciation/depreciation of the exchange rate exceeds a certain level, it will be reflected immediately on the quotation.

c. Countermeasures for inflation

The selling price of products and the purchasing price of raw materials are determined based on the pricing strategies and the supply/demand status in the market. With the increase in the market supply and the intense market competition, the price showed a dropping trend; therefore, there was no effect of inflation in the most recent two years. Regarding the effects of inflation, the industry the Company is in is estimated to have no inflation; however, the Company keeps abreast of price volatility rates in relevant markets and will horizontally adjust product quotations based on the prices or execute cost control plans in due course.

(2) Policies regarding high-risk investments, high-leverage investments, loans to others, endorsement/guarantees, and derivative transactions, and main reasons for gains or losses, and countermeasures in the future:

To manage financial risks, the Company had not engaged in any highrisk/high-leverage financial investment from the beginning of 2024 to the publication date of the annual report. To control certain risks, the Company has established its internal management regulations and procedures based on the optimization of finance and operations according to relevant laws and regulations and requirements of the SFC. Such management regulations include "Procedures for Derivative Transactions," "Procedures for Loans to Others," "Procedures for Acquisitions or Disposals of Assets," and "Procedures for Endorsements and Guarantees." In addition, forward exchange agreements of the Company are for hedging purposes instead of transaction or speculative operations.

  • A. Future R&D plan: Please refer to pages 72-87 of the annual report.

  • B. Current progress of uncompleted R&D plans and R&D expenses required to be invested: Please refer to pages 87-89 of the annual report.

(4) Effect of changes in domestic and foreign policies and laws of significance on the finance and business of the Company and countermeasures:

The management team has been keeping abreast of policies and laws, and regulations that may affect the business and operations of the Company. In 2024, changes in relevant laws and regulations had no material effect on the Company's operations.

(5) Effect on the company's financial operations of developments in science and technology (including cyber security risks) as well as industrial change, and measures to be taken in response:

Loop Telecom has been deeply engaged in the international market, conducting business with 45 countries worldwide. In 2024, overseas sales accounted for approximately 75% of total revenue. By industry, the power and government sectors accounted for approximately 80% of total revenue, while the communications and transportation markets accounted for about 15%.

With the rapid advancement of technologies such as 5G, AI, and digital transformation, demand for communications applications and customer requirements has grown, raising expectations for product speed, stability, and security. To meet these demands, Loop Telecom continues to invest in nextgeneration communications technologies and flagship product development. The Company also partners with leading international system integrators to enhance product flexibility and market competitiveness. While the markets in Europe and the United States remain stable, the domestic market has entered a new phase of development. The Southeast Asian market is gradually recovering, and the Company continues to explore emerging markets.

Rapid changes in the industry have led to market demand uncertainties that may affect the Company’s revenue forecasts and resource allocation effectiveness. To address risks from industry changes, the Company regularly conducts market demand forecasts for its products and services and dynamically adjusts based on changes in the market environment. By continuously monitoring market trends and working closely with customers, the Company can promptly adjust production capacity and inventory strategies when demand falls short of expectations, thereby minimizing negative impacts on financial performance and ensuring operational stability.

Regarding information security risks, the increased digitization of business operations has raised cybersecurity threats such as hacking, data breaches, and system disruptions, which may pose potential risks to the Company’s financial performance, operational stability, and corporate reputation. To enhance cybersecurity resilience, the Company established a dedicated Information Security Unit and Committee in 2022. The head of the IT department also serves as the Chief Information Security Officer, working alongside three committee members to promote security policies and control mechanisms.

The Company has implemented a 24/7 cybersecurity monitoring system capable of detecting anomalies in real-time and responding swiftly according to established procedures, including analysis and continuous improvement. Simulated phishing tests and annual cybersecurity awareness training are also conducted to reduce human-related risks and improve employees’ ability to

116

identify and respond to potential cyber threats. In 2024, the Company experienced no major cybersecurity incidents, demonstrating the effectiveness of current security measures. ABC Company will continue to adopt innovative technologies and comply with international cybersecurity standards to ensure the safety and continuity of financial, business data, and operational systems.

(6) Effects of changes in the corporate image on crisis management of the enterprise and countermeasures:

As of the end of 2024, there were no such circumstances.

(7) Expected benefits of M&As, possible risks, and countermeasures:

  • (8) Expected benefits of the expansion of plants, possible risks, and countermeasures:

As of the end of 2024, there were no such circumstances.

  • (9) Risks related to concentrated sales or purchases and countermeasures:

The Company purchases raw materials from different suppliers as much as possible to ensure there is sufficient raw material supply for mass production and minimize the risk of centralized procurement.

As the Company focuses on communication transmission equipment manufacturing and services, partial customers account for a significant ratio of its sales income, which is a characteristic of the industry.

  • (13) Other important risks and countermeasures: None.

7. Risk management structure:

(1) Risk management structure and operation

  • A. The Company has enhanced its corporate risk management, including risk detection, assessment, reporting, and handling, based on the latest development of internal audit requirements of the standards by adopting a cautious and stringent attitude. Risk control of the Company is divided into three levels (systems): The organizer or the undertaker is the "first system," it shall be responsible for the initial risk detection, assessment, consideration and design of the control and prevention. The second system is the review committee hosted by the President (or Vice President); it is responsible for feasibility evaluation and assessment of risks. The third system is the review of the Legal Affairs Office and Audit Office and review and discussion by Directors and supervisors. The Company has no chief risk officer, and the purpose is to allow all employees to fully exert risk control. Hierarchical prevention measures are adopted instead of being controlled by one person, which is the method to implement risk control. As shown in the following table.

  • B. For material risk assessment matters of the Company, if it is a matter of implementation that the review and discussion of the second and the third systems are not required, a meeting shall be held with the Audit Office to detect risks, make assessments, and provide preventive recommendations. If there are any imminent, possible risks detected, employees may also report to their superiors for due prevention. For significant matters (i.e., investment and wealth management and construction tender), review meetings or tender monitoring will be performed for each proposal, and regular audits will be implemented.
