I. Report to the Shareholders
In 2021, the prevention and control of the new coronavirus is still severe. The instability of the global supply chain has caused inflation rates of various countries to hit new highs. The world economy is still struggling to move forward under its many challenges. As a global affordable luxury jewelry manufacturer, Regal Holdings faces many external challenges. During these times, we uphold our spirit of prudence, and regard this as a test for the company’s team. On the other hand, we strengthened the coronavirus prevention protocols for our staff, adjusted the arrangement of the production lines, and gradually optimized our production process. At the same time, we focused on the improvements of product quality and the research and development of high-level skills, resulting in a steady growth of profit throughout the year.
The consolidated operating income of Regal Holdings for 2021 was NTD 2,088,363 thousand dollars, a year-on-year increase of 18.28%. The consolidated net profit after tax was NTD 137,676 thousand dollars, and the earnings per share was NTD 3.32. From the perspective of the jewelry manufacturing income portfolio, metalworking revenue increased by approximately 38.26% annually, however, the gross profit margin of metalworking in 2021 decreased slightly to 25.14% from the 25.52% in the previous year. This is mainly due to the manufacturing of a large order of a machine-made product. The plating revenue decreased by about 5.54% year-on-year, however, the gross profit margin of plating increased to 11.25% from the 10.80% in the previous year, mainly due to the proper control of precious metal procurement costs and the increase in yield rate.
In order to effectively increase profits, in addition to strengthening the adjustment of monthly core orders and manpower allocation of production lines, we have also changed from one large-scale production plant into multiple medium-sized plants to attract more high-margin product orders and potential business opportunities. In addition, through the “A-Team” cross-departmental efforts to continuously improve the success rate of new product developments, and the upgrade of software and hardware technology to improve management efficiency, the overall operating expense ratio decreased by 9.59% compared with 2020. Furthermore, in response to fluctuations in exchange rates and precious metal prices, we also continue to dynamically adjust our portfolio for a conservative hedging strategy and risk management, so as to minimize the uncertainty caused by financial costs to profits.
In 2022, a new round of epidemic spread through the new variant of coronavirus Omicron, coupled with uncertainties such as interest rate rises, wars and inflation in the global market. Although economists have revised down the global economic growth outlook, however, faced with many possible impacts, we still aim to achieve at least 10% annual performance growth, and focus on operations catering to changes in consumer and market channel demands under the new normal. Externally, in the spirit of growing partnerships with customers, we will continue to formulate different marketing and cooperation models to continue to develop a full range of jewelry products with future fashion trends. At the same time, we will focus on the control of the gross profit margin of orders, and will not rule out the possibility of evaluating cross-industry cooperation for the needs of customers such as overseas factories and logistics centers. Internally, in addition to the continuous implementation of coronavirus protocols, we will also focus on the improvement of orders
1
and production capacity allocation to maximize efficiency. We will achieve this through the automation of some processes, the update of our ERP system, the improvement of outsourcing, and the development of the production staff's craftsmen skills and management skills. These efforts lay the groundwork for the sustainable growth of the group.
With the signing of the Glasgow Climate Pact at the 26[th] United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP26), and consumers and brands in the jewelry industry paying more and more attention to environmental protection issues such as carbon emissions, our company has signed a consulting contract with the Thailand Environment Institute (TEI) since December 2021. We aim to set goals for energy conservation, carbon reduction, waste and pollution reduction, and will start a series of green projects from the first quarter of 2022. These projects will include carbon emission checks, the establishment of a sustainable development department, etc. Based on our existing corporate governance, we introduced the ESG framework, established the carbon footprint standard, and introduced short, mid, and long-term plan to move towards carbon neutrality. Starting from being the core green supplier of our customer’s brands, we plan to contribute our part to environmental protection and our social responsibility by implementing projects such as recycling and refining, green factories, and cooperating with educational institutions. Through the passionate heart and never-ending vigor of all Regal employees and our passion for continued achievements, we believe that Regal Holdings will become the first choice for consumers and brands to provide higher-quality "green" products in 2022.
On behalf of the board of directors and the management team, I would like to sincerely thank all the shareholders of Regal Holdings for their trust under many challenges. In 2022, we will continue to lead the company forward and strive to create new growth opportunities for the company and customers. Thank you for your support and encouragement.
Sincerely,
PHACHARAPON PHAIBOONSUNTORN, Chairman of Regal Holdings Co., Ltd.

C. Risk Matters
1. The risk of macroeconomics, political economy environment, foreign exchange and regulations.
The country of incorporation of the company is the British Cayman Islands (with financial services as the main economic activity), and the main country of operation is Thailand (one of the major economic systems in Southeast Asia), which has open economy and without foreign exchange control, and the political and economic environment is still stable. Despite the rapid changes in the global economic environment, we has not had any significant impact on profit or loss due to the overall economy or inflation so far. However, we always pays attention to market price fluctuations and maintains a good relationship with customers and suppliers. Therefore, the profit and loss in recent years has not been significantly affected by the general economy or inflation. Also, if the purchase cost increases due to inflation, we will also adjust the procurement strategy, cost structure and product selling price in a timely manner to reduce the impact on profit and loss. In addition, the products developed, produced and sold by us are consumer goods for people's livelihood, not licensed or restricted industries. The export of products is mainly quoted in US dollars, and the procurement and operation related expenses are paid in Thai baht. Therefore, the risk of exchange rate fluctuations mainly comes from accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies. Since 2014, we has increased our business volume in Thailand and increased the proportion of accounts receivable in Thai baht, so as to diversify the concentration of currencies. We also continue to pay attention to fluctuations in the exchange rate market. If there is a need for hedging, derivatives can also be used in a timely manner. Therefore, we will not have any material events that affect our finance or business due to important local policies, laws or exchange rate changes in the British Cayman Islands or Thailand. Furthermore, the implementation of various businesses of us is handled in accordance with important domestic and foreign policies and legal regulations. In recent years, we also paid attention to important domestic and foreign policy development trends and legal changes at any time, so as to promptly respond to changes in the market environment and take appropriate countermeasures.
2. Risk of guarantee of shareholder rights
The laws of registered place, Cayman Islands, of the Company have many different places with the ones of Republic of China. Without contradicting the laws of Cayman Islands, the Company has amended the Articles of the Company in accordance with “Checklist for the protection of shareholders' rights and interests of foreign issuers” of Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation. However, there are still many differences between local laws and regulations of two countries on the company’s operation. Investors cannot use the protection views of the ROC companies’ legal rights to apply them to the Cayman Islands’ companies they invest in. Investors shall fully understand and consult with experts whether it can obtain effective shareholder rights protection by investing Cayman Islands’ companies.
5
3. Effect on the company's manufacturing operations of technology and measures to be taken in response.
We always pay attention to the update and improvement of relevant technologies in the industry in which it operates, grasps the latest market information, and evaluates its impact on the company's operations. From 2020, the existing ERP system is upgraded, and the inherent MES (Manufacturing execution system) software will be integrated. It is expected that the efficiency of the overall production process can be improved. In the most recent year and as of the publication date of the prospectus, technological changes and industrial changes have no significant impact on the company's financial business. For implementation matters, please refer to page 132 of the annual report.

As time goes by, modern consumers using jewelry to beautify their lives has become a representative of fashion, and wearing jewelry is also regarded as personal style, fashion and trend, as well as practicality and aesthetics. In recent years, with the aid of technology, jewelry has become more meticulous and it’s available for

Therefore, the jewelry industry is no longer a traditional handicraft industry, but a boutique industry that can give life to jewelry and provide personal taste at the same time, it not only needs a brand with a sense of design, uniqueness and high-quality image, but also needs to have the pricing power to attract the general consumer.

The global luxury goods industry has experienced tremendous upheaval over the past two years and has emerged from the crisis with greater strength, resilience and agility than ever before. At present, the growth momentum of the global luxury industry mainly comes from factors such as the rise of China, tourism business opportunities, product price strategies, government policy support, product personalization, and the rise of e-commerce, which promote the rapid growth of women's shoes and clothing, jewelry, cosmetics and bags. In addition to this, Bain & Company expects Generation Y and Generation Z to dominate luxury spending in the future and account for 70% of global purchases. Also because of the strong consumption power of Generation Y and Generation Z, the luxury goods industry has also accelerated its inclination. Most manufacturers target consumers at the age of 18-30. Perhaps 20-year-old consumers are not the richest group, but because of most of them are funded by their parents and elders. Many young people have strong spending power on high-priced products, are willing to invest money in fashion and luxury goods, pay attention to fashion and trends, and pursue personalized reflections. They prefer to pursue products that match their own tastes and styles. Therefore, luxury goods manufacturers continue to explore transformation and quickly respond to launch trendy products with lower prices to meet the preferences of Generation Y and Generation Z consumers. Bain & Company also estimates that the global personal luxury goods market will continue to grow by 3-5% annually from 2020 to 2025, and the market value is expected to reach EUR 335-375 billion in 2025.

C. Jewelry market overview and development
Jewelry is one of the oldest personal adornments, whether it's a luxurious diamond necklace or a simple charm bracelet, it instantly adds style and confidence to the wearer. The market revenue of jewelry comes mainly from China, followed by the United States and India. According to McKinsey report in June 2021, the compound annual growth rate (CARG) of Fine Jewelry from 2018 to 2025 is estimated to be 8-12%, and in the next three years, the jewelry industry will have three major shifts in (1) Buying Into Brands, (2) Online Magic, and (3) Sustainability Surge.

In terms of product categories, jewelry products can be mainly divided into five categories: necklaces, rings, earrings, bracelets (chains) and others. According to the report of Grand View Research, in 2021, rings are the largest sales, with a market share of more than 25%, followed by bracelets (chains), necklaces, earrings and other accessories. Among them, necklaces and rings are the most common products during weddings, which are in high demand during engagements or commemorative festivals, and diamond-encrusted necklace sets are usually expensive. In addition, due to the increasing purchasing power of consumers, products such as pendants, rings and earrings are often used as gifts. In addition, men's rings and earrings are becoming more and more popular, consumers are interested in the complex design and details of rings, and with the diversification of product appearance design demands of younger generation consumers, they continue to promote various product lines in combination with trend and fashion elements. Bracelet is another popular product. It has an elegant and gentle feel and will not burden the wrist. There are various thicknesses and materials of bracelets, which can also be combined with fashion and personal

Because of the uniqueness and personalization of jewelry, the price gap is quite huge. The price of top-level jewelry is much higher than entry-level jewelry, but entry-level jewelry (Premium) plays a very important role in the overall sales market., its sales value accounted for more than half of the overall jewelry industry, diamond jewelry (Diamond) accounted for about 24%, and top jewelry (Luxury) only accounted for about 7.6%. From the sales structure, we know that the revenue and profit of jewelry mainly come from the sales of entry-level jewelry products, not from high-priced gem products. Therefore, the development of entry-level products to make them trendy, fashionable and unique, and supplemented by brand advantages, will be more able to drive profitable growth.

Overall, the consumption power of the millennial generation is getting stronger, and the trend of consumer tastes pursuing fashion and trends, so most businesses target young consumers aged 18-30 to rushing market. The positioning of jewelry products has gradually developed in the direction of affordable prices, focusing on fashion and personal style, and not only focus on female consumers, but male consumers have begun to accept wearing jewelry to show their personal style. Among them, the products that integrate fashion and trends in design with brand also gradually penetrate into the entire jewelry industry by focusing on entry-level jewelry products that are customizable and can quickly respond to fashion trends.
- b. the links between the upstream, midstream, and downstream segments of the industry supply chain
Fine jewelry industry is one of the long historic industry. The chain of industry is pretty mature and the chain can be divided into upstream: raw material and equipment suppliers that supply the precious metals and gems for jewelry production, and production manufacture equipment for stone setting; midstream: design and manufacturers, mainly focus on jewelry designs, components, and mold manufacturing, automated process equipment, and the follow-up production and sales; downstream: distributors, mainly through the global and regional brands to enter the retails in order to sale to consumers. The Company is a jewelry design, manufacture, and sales company that belongs to midstream. The Company introduced various materials from upstream raw material suppliers, such as gold, silver, and platinum and then after the process of designing, molding, casting, stamping, grinding, stone setting, soldering, polishing, plating, and packing, finish products will be delivered to the downstream distributors to sale products to customers in need. The relations between the up, middle and down streams of the Company's industry is shown as following:

==> picture [502 x 277] intentionally omitted <==
c. Development trends of products
- (1) Customize craft arts
For design and manufacture of products, the Company values the skills of jewelry manufacture and the nature of products is mainly based on metal casting and hand-set stone, including pendants, rings, wristbands, earrings, bracelets, necklaces, cufflinks, and pins. In the future, besides continuously accumulating experience and knowledge of jewelry manufacture, the Company will make products more personalized and customized by combining aesthetic designs and craft art skills as a basis for constantly innovation.
(2) Focus on design features
With the change of consumption habits, the young people nowadays prefer personalized and refined products which are sophisticated, small, delicate, not over-designed, and complied with invigorating colors. The whole piece of jewelry that are more vivid and eye-catching simplified styles are more attracted to working women. Fashionable jewelry that emphasizes design senses and personal tastes cater to the mid and high-end consumer purchase intention. Therefore, the emphasis on designing the jewelry can give consumers a lively, interesting, fashionable and expensive atmosphere, and combine jewelry with life to exude personal taste.
- (3) Leading fashion trends
The predication of fashion trends and accuracy and immediacy of information acquisition are relatively important in jewelry boutique industry, in order to offer
101
clients important basis for the latest product selection and to enhance the tightness of supply and demand between the two parties, so as to maintain good relations and interaction. The Company collects information of jewelry and accessories by jewelry fairs and fashion newsletters, fashionable products, such as glue crystal products, bead jewelry that can be changed at will, new metal jewelry styles and wax on stone styles, etc. The Company plans new design drawings every year and introduce new products for customers to choose every quarter and feedbacks customers the latest information based on the principle of customization.
d. Competition
The company is in the fashion industry, the product changes quickly and the style is various. Although there are many manufacturers of jewelry, most of them are small processing factories, and most of them are based on imitating the products that cannot lead the trends. However, the company avoids highly competitive consumer markets, focusing on a small number of customized niche markets. In addition to producing refined jewelry, the Company also provides customized service. The Company introduces design drawings for customers to choose and produced by master craftsmen with exquisite craftsmanship. For example, the company is favored by internationally renowned jewelry boutiques, and the rose-gold series and K-gold products are the best examples. Therefore, the manufacturers without foresight of design abilities, exquisite craftsmanship, and flexibilities of producing skills are difficult to survive in competition. Therefore, as far as the Company is concerned, there is still room for growth in the future.

(2) Change of consuming types- counterfeit products invade in the jewelry market
-
Problems of counterfeit products are worthy of attention in the jewelry industry (Olsen, JE, Granzin, KL, 1992; Carty, 1994). While the supply sides downsize the cost of production, the price advantages of product can be raised naturally, and it promotes customers can easily acquire products to satisfy their own interests. However, in the market where information asymmetry, online virtual channels have concerns about purchasing. Whenever there are counterfeit or imitate brands, customers are hard to distinguish, which leads them to distrust online virtual channels and products’ qualities. Besides, the invasion of counterfeit products in jewelry shall not be underestimated. When customers have limited budget, in order to pursue of great utility and satisfaction, they will make more adjustments in the allocation of their resources. Even if consumers are unable to distinguish between counterfeit products and real products, they will increase their willingness to purchase counterfeit products.

(3) The disadvantage of the image of the source countries - the sorrow of emerging countries
In the supply chains of jewelry, products are mainly manufactured by emerging countries’ OEM and sold through brands. In the long run, profits of brands are much larger than OEM foundries. If OEM foundries want to have more profits, they need to create additional value by establishing brands. However, in the past, products made by emerging countries were considered low-quality and counterfeit products. For those OEM foundries which want to establish jewelry brands, this is at a disadvantage. The image of source countries will hinder the actual sales growth of jewelry and damage the original brands’ values (Ko et.al, 2009).
The source countries of the jewelry brands on the market are mostly new countries with sophisticated craftsmanship and fashionable design. Customers can ensure products’ qualities, looks, and design styles by what they recognized brands’ countries image. Therefore, while establishing jewelry brands, OEM foundries in emerging countries will face the impact of source countries’ images and huge challenges of customers’ doubts.

Risk analysis during the most recent year and as of the Date of this Annual Report:
- a. Interest rate fluctuations
Unit: NT$000
| Year 2020 | Year 2020 | Year 2021 | Year 2021 | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amount | ratio of net values | Amount | ratio of net values | |
| Interest income | 643 | 643 | 368 | 0.02% |
| Interest expense | 8,678 | 8,678 | 8,245 | 0.39% |
The Company's interest income and interest expenses in the most recent two years accounted for a very low proportion of the net operating income of the current year. Therefore, changes in market interest rates have not yet had a significant impact on the company's financial business status.
b. Effects of exchange rate fluctuations
Unit: NT$000
| Unit: NT$00 | ||
|---|---|---|
| Year Item |
Year 2020 | Year 2021 |
| Net Foreign exchange gain(loss) | 10,463 | 17,371 |
| ratio to net sales (%) | 0.59% | 0.83% |
The company’s export sales of products are mainly quoted in U.S. dollars, but the purchase and operation related expenses are still paid in Thai Baht. Therefore, the trend of the U.S. dollar will have an impact on exchange gains and losses. The risk of exchange rate changes mainly comes from accounts receivable denominated in foreign currencies. Foreign currency exchange gains and losses occur at the time of conversion.
c. Effect of inflation rate
With the rapid changes in the global economic environment, the Company has not yet had a significant impact on profit and loss due to the inflation crisis. In the future, the Company will continue to maintain close and good relations with suppliers and pay attention to fluctuations in market prices at any time, adjust procurement strategies and cost structures in a timely manner, and reduce the impact of inflation changes on the Company's profit and loss.
- The Company's policy regarding high-risk investments, highly leveraged investments, loans to

Therefore, in Article 12.3(b) of the Company’s Articles of Association, any Merger (except for any Merger which falls within the definition of "merger" and/or "consolidation" under the Law, which requires the approval of the Company by Special Resolution only) shall be adopted by supermajority resolutions. 3.The difference between the above matters and the Checklist for the Protection of Shareholders' Equity of Foreign Issuers is the matters shall be adopted by supermajority resolutions in important matters of protection of shareholders’ equity are regulated to supermajority resolutions and special resolutions respectively in the Company’s Articles of Association. This kind of difference is because of the Cayman Islands laws. Since the matters shall be adopted by supermajority resolutions in important matters of protection of shareholders’ equity are regulated to supermajority resolutions and special resolutions respectively in the Company’s Articles of Association, the Articles of Association shall have a limited impact on shareholders' equityin thispart. |

There is no notion of “supervisors” in Cayman Islands’ Company Act and the Company has set up the Audit Committee, so there are no relevant regulations of supervisors in the Articles of Association. Only about the regulation of minor shareholders’ request to institute an action against a director of the Company in Article 214 of Company Act, R.O.C. In Article 48.3 of the Articles of Association, to the extent permitted under the laws of the Cayman Islands, Members continuously holding one per cent (1%) or more of the total issued shares of the Company for over six months or longer may: (a) request in writing the Board to authorize any Independent Director of the Audit Committee to file a petition with the Taipei District Court, ROC for and on behalf of the Company against any of the Directors; or (b) request in writing any Independent Director of the Audit Committee to file a petition for and on behalf of the Company against any of the Directors; the petition may be filed with the Taipei District Court, ROC as the court of the first instance; or the Member(s) may, to the extent permitted under the laws of the Cayman Islands, file a petition with the Taipei District Court, ROC for and on behalf of the Company against the relevant Directors within thirty (30) days after such Member(s) having made the request under the preceding clause (a) or (b) if (i) in the case of clause (a), the Board fails to make such authorization or the Independent Director of the Audit Committee having been authorized by the Board fails to file such petition,or(ii)in the case of clause(b),the |

| Independent Director of the Audit Committee fails to file such petition. However, according to Cayman Islands’ regulations, about the above regulations, Cayman Islands’ lawyers remind the followings: The Company Act of Cayman Islands does not have specific regulation to allow minority shareholders institute an action against a director of the Company. The Articles of Association is not a contract between shareholders and directors, but an agreement between shareholders and the Company. Therefore, even though the Articles allows minority shareholders to institute an action against directors, the Cayman Islands’ lawyers think this will not be able to bond directors. However, under the regular laws, all shareholders (including minority shareholders), no matter what his/her share hold percentage is or how long he/she holds shares, have the right to request to institute an action (including against a director). Once shareholders institute an action, the Cayman Islands’ court have the full power to decide whether the shareholders can continue the lawsuit. Repeatedly, even though the Articles of Association allow minority shareholders (or shareholders with the required shareholding ratio or shareholding period), institute an action against a director on behalf of the Company; however, the continuation of the lawsuit will ultimately depend on the decision of the Cayman Islands court. According to the relevant judgment of the Grand Court of the Cayman Islands, when the Cayman Islands courts consider whether to approve the continuation of derivative proceedings,the applicable criterion is whether |

|---|---|
| the Cayman Islands courts believe and accept that the plaintiff’s request on behalf of the company is ostensibly substantive. The wrongdoings claimed by the company are controlled by the controllable company, and the controllers can prevent the company from litigating it. According to the Cayman Islands’ Laws, the Board of Directors shall act on behalf of the Company as a whole (not individual directors) to make decisions. Therefore, directors shall follow the resolution of the Board of Directors to authorize any director on behalf of the Company according to the Articles of Association to file the charge to other directors. The Company Act of Cayman Islands does not regulate that shareholders may request directors of the company to convene board of directors’ meetings to resolute specific matters. However, the Company Act of Cayman Islands does not prohibit the company from establishing Articles of Association and relevant rules of procedures of board meetings (including the regulations of conveningboard meetings.) |

Directors of the Company shall have the loyalty and shall exercise the due care of a good administrator in conducting the business operation of the company; and if he/she has acted contrary to this provision, shall be liable for the damages to be sustained by the company there-from.

In the Article 48.4 of the Articles of Association, “Without prejudice and subject to the general directors’ duties that a Director owe to the Company and its shareholders under common law principals and the laws of the Cayman Islands, a Director shall perform his fiduciary duties of loyalty and due care of a good administrator in the course of conducting the Company’s business, and shall indemnify the Company, to the maximum extent legally permissible, from any loss incurred or suffered by the Company arising from breach of his fiduciary duties. If a Director has made any profit for the benefit of himself or any third partyas a result of anybreach of his fiduciary |

duties, the Company shall, if so resolved by the Members by way of an Ordinary Resolution, take all such actions and steps as may be appropriate and to the maximum extent legally permissible to seek to recover such profit from such relevant Director. If a Director has, in the course of conducting the Company’s business, violated any laws or regulations that causes the Company to become liable for any compensation or damages to any person, such Director shall become jointly and severally liable for such compensation or damages with the Company and if any reason such Director is not made jointly and severally liable with the Company, such Director shall indemnify the Company for any loss incurred or suffered by the Company caused by a breach of duties by such Director. The Officers, in the course of performing their duties to the Company, shall assume such duties and obligations to indemnify the Company in the same manner as if they are Directors.” However, according to Cayman Islands’ regulations, about the above regulations, Cayman Islands’ lawyers remind the followings: In Cayman Island’s law, generally speaking, managers or supervisors do not take the same responsibilities as the company’s directors to the company or shareholders. However, if managers or supervisors are authorized to represent top-level executives, they shall share the same responsibilities as the company’s directors. For the avoidance of doubt, companies in Cayman Islands generally regulate the managers’ or supervisors’ responsibilities and obligations to companies and shareholders in their service contracts. For the same reason,because the company’s |

|---|---|
| Articles of Association is the agreement between shareholders and the company, managers or supervisors are not litigants of the company’s Articles of Association. Therefore, any penalty of damages that claims to managers or supervisors who violate their obligations shall be regulated in their service contracts. From the prospect of Cayman Island’s law, the company’s Articles of Association is the agreement between shareholders and the applying company and directors of the applying company are not litigants of the company’s Articles of Association, so lawyers of Cayman Islands think the Articles of Association do not have bonding force to directors. If the company wants to make the relevant clauses have a contractual effect on the directors, lawyers of Cayman Islands think the company shall regulate relevant rights in contracts with individual directors, such as service contracts. |
