2022 Business Report

1 Implementation Results

The individual revenue of the Company for the year 2022 was NT$2,976,358thousand, while the Consolidated revenue for the year was NT$3,008,554thousand. The consolidated after-tax profit was NT$61,330thousand, of which NT$61,330,000 was attributable to the owners of the Company. The basic and diluted earnings per share for the consolidated after-tax profit were both NT$0.33.

In the first half of 2022, it had been expected that the post-pandemic economy would recover and customers are actively stocking up to avoid supply chain disruptions. As being driven by demands revenues and profits strongly grew in comparison with the result of the first half of 2021. However, from the second half of the year onwards, the ongoing military conflict between Russia and Ukraine has caused energy prices to surge. Coupled with rising inflation, the US Federal Reserve has raised interest rates to control rapid inflation, which has affected global financial markets and slowed private investment growth. In addition, China's economy has been impacted by the pandemic, causing a significant decline in demand in the three major markets of the US, Europe, and China. Specifically, the demand for specialized materials for consumer electronics, polymer materials for sports shoes, and plastic antioxidants has been significantly affected. Taking all of these factors into account, the economy in 2022 showed a brief recovery in the first half of the year, but quickly turned weak in the second half. The final revenue for the year showed a slight growth of NT$157,916,000, with a year-on-year increase of 5.54%.

  • (3) Be certified by the brand dealers on Expanded Elastomer footwear materials

  • (4) Develop second level supplier to reduce the risk of raw materials shortage

  • 2.3.2 Development of new process technology for plant protection chemicals. Long-term Plan

2.3.2.1 Key trends and strategies on industrial transformation

Under such shortcomings as strict environmental regulations, limited natural resources, and increasing environmental costs, high-emission industries gradually lost their positions in the competitive market. To successfully navigate this changing landscape, chemical industry will need to develop toward lowpollution and high-economies-of-scale orientation.

2.3.2.2 Research and development and technical services

  • (1) Self-develop and form patent applications

  • (2) Provide technical services to meet customer demands

  • (3) Assist customers in developing customized products and grab the preemptive opportunities in the market

12

2.3.2.3 Diversification Strategies

Well utilize the Company’s know-hows in chemicals and manufacturing products. For instance:

  • (1) Produce personal sanitization products (special cosmetic) using cGMP qualifications from Chuansing Factory

  • (2) Given the recyclable character of Polymer(TPE/TPU), develop footwear using 100% Polymer then recycle and reuse

  • (3) Seek out businesses that are chemical-related and supported by the government

2.3.2.4 “Save Energy, Save Earth”

In response to the “Save Energy, Save Earth” campaign, our future manufacturing process design will take action to promote energy saving, decarbonization, recycle and reuse, and to exploit the decarbonization technology.

3 Overview of Technology and R&D

3.1 Technical Level

In response to the development trend of international chemicals, the Company values novelty, inventive steps as well as industrial applicability. We mainly target chemicals that are highly demanded in the market and create technical barriers.

The Company’s main research and development team are organic synthesis and polymer chemistry technology experts. They cooperate with a production team with senior chemical manufacturing experience, together with trading professionals of great acuity on market development, to invest in research, development, production, OEM and marketing on polymer and fine chemical products.

13

3.2 Product Development Plan

More specifically speaking, the Company’s (Sunko) products include PU, POLYOL, TPU, TPV, special plastic material, plant and environmental protection drugs, active pharmaceutical ingredients, cosmetic materials, antioxidant, anti-UV agent, polyolefin synthesis, PCB reducing agent, curing agent and graphene oxide, etc.

To improve the process efficiency, go green, and to recycle, reuse and reduce the energy consumption are the key concepts of polymer material development.

As for product development on fine chemicals, the research aims at new structures, new manufacturing processes, new formulations and new applications. To develop lowpollution and low-energy-consumption manufacturing process techniques is deemed as our corporate social responsibility.

5 The Impact from the external competition, regulatory environment, and business operation

According to IMF statistics, the global economic growth rate is estimated to be 3.4% in 2022, and it is expected to decline to 2.9% in 2023. This is due to the inflation crisis caused by COVID19 and the Russia-Ukraine conflict. inflation crisis will rise, regional conflicts will rise, and protectionism will take the lead. And other factors, the situation of economic recovery and future changes in the economic environment are still with high uncertainties.

The Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP) and the Comprehensive and Progressive Agreement for Trans-Pacific Partnership (CPTPP) implement tariff reductions among member states. For Taiwanese companies that rely on imports and exports, Taiwan’s competitiveness in the international market as a non-member state will be negatively affected.

Adverse effects due to the promotion of a series of policies such as international ESG development trends, renewable energy development regulations, and domestic environmental protection regulations, it is necessary for enterprises to invest money to update air pollution equipment, set up renewable energy power generation facilities, and use high costs. In terms of carbon reduction, there is currently no cost-effective and effective carbon capture method due to the lack of technological breakthroughs. Small companies are limited by limited resources and

15

gradually replace them with new and more energy-efficient equipment in the early stage. More environmentally friendly natural gas, research more efficient processes to achieve carbon reduction. The biggest source of carbon emissions is the electricity required for the manufacturing process. This part is beyond the capabilities of small companies. Currently, it is still waiting for relevant government units to plan the future national net-zero carbon emissions path and relevant policy guidelines for the industry to follow.
