I. LETTER TO SHAREHOLDERS

  • 1 The 2024 Business Report

The individual revenue and the consolidated revenue of the Company for the year 2024 was NT$2,286,720 thousand. The consolidated after-tax loss was NT$182,576 thousand, of which NT$182,576 thousand was attributable to the Company. The basic and diluted earnings per share for the consolidated after-tax loss were both NT$0.98.

The global economic recovery in 2024 is weaker than expected. Due to geopolitical influences, demand has shrunk and economic growth momentum has declined. In addition, China continues to expand its production capacity. The oversupply in the market and the narrowing of product spreads under price competition have made the petrochemical industry face an unprecedented downturn. Plastic products in the downstream petrochemical industry, such as antioxidants, nucleating agents, and flame retardants, are most directly affected by the decline in quotations. Agrochemicals and polymer products have also turned to export due to excess production capacity in China. The shift of some customers to purchasing low-cost Chinese-made products has further eroded profits. The overcapacity in the petrochemical industry, coupled with China's upstream and downstream vertical integration and national subsidy policies, has squeezed the profits of small factories through business strategies such as controlling upstream raw material supply prices and lowering downstream finished product prices. In order to get rid of the impact of overcapacity in the market, the Company actively develops new products including:the Triazine series of UV protecting agents, new novel phosphorus-containing flame retardants used in high-end circuit boards, puncture-resistant polymer coatings, and foam-grade TPU. The foam-grade TPU has been certified by Taiwanese shoe factories. In order to gain the favor of brands, downstream Taiwanese shoe factories are committed to developing shoe material recycling and reuse solutions. Producing shoes entirely made of TPU material solves the problem that sports shoes are difficult to recycle due to different materials used. Future development will depend on the brand owners' recognition of ESG and the recycling and reuse of sports shoes. In addition, in terms of cost control, we are also actively controlling personnel costs, cutting rents, reducing waste, reducing unnecessary expenses, and adjusting the output of products with no marginal benefits.

Looking ahead to 2025, the uncertainty of the global economy after Trump's election will have a direct impact on the international situation and industrial chain changes. It is still unpredictable how the future will develop. We will focus on our core chemical business and continue to innovate and develop new products to replace and transform products to make up for losses and create profits.

Regarding the implementation results of the consolidated subsidiaries’ operation plan for 2024 of the Company, and the expression compared to the operating results of 2023 is as follows:

  • 2 Overview of 2025 Operation Plan

  • 2.1 Operation Strategy and Policy

At present, the petrochemical and rubber and plastics industries are facing overcapacity caused by China's massive expansion. Oversupply has led to continued low prices. For example, plastic additives: antioxidants, flame retardants, and nucleating agents have been affected to varying degrees. The more mature and general-purpose products are affected to a greater extent. How to avoid overcapacity and differentiate mature products from competitors will be an important issue for the industry in the next few years. In the new year, we will continue to focus on researching and developing new products and introducing new cooperative development projects.

3

The company follows the promotion of sustainable development by the competent authorities and combines the Company's business philosophy to formulate the Company's long-term business strategy of "continuous innovation, environmental sustainability, friendly workplace, and strengthened governance". Every year, we analyze the internal and external risks and opportunities through operational analysis to formulate the business policy for the new year.

Operating Strategy and Policy for 2025:

  1. Continuous innovation

  2. Environmental sustainability

  3. Friendly and safe workplace, enhancing employee engagement

  4. Strengthen corporate governance

  5. 2.2 Important Production and Marketing Strategies

  6. 2.2.1 Sales Policy

    • (1) Strengthen the relationship with clients, increase both sales and the market share

    • (2) Develop new specifications and new products in line with customer needs.

    • (3) Develop and create proprietary patented products to expand the markets

    • (4) Stabilize sales and improve capacity utilization

  7. 2.2.2 Production Policy

    • (1) Implement industrial safety to reduce accident risks.

    • (2) Stabilize raw material supply chain and product supply

    • (3) Enhance quality to improve customer satisfaction

    • (4) Optimize process and increase utilization rate

  8. 2.3 Short-term and Long-term Business Development Plan

  9. 2.3.1 Short-term Plan

     - (1) Strengthen the bonds with international manufacturers and increase the market share.
    
     - (2) Develop and promote new products:
    

Novel phosphorus-containing flame retardants: It mainly provides good heat resistance for the boards of electronic products. The new generation of high-end electronic devices such as servers and network communication equipment have increased the heat resistance requirements for substrates. Traditional phosphorusbased flame retardants can no longer meet the demand. The Company has independently developed a new type of flame retardant synthesized by bonding functional groups based on the DOPO chemical structure. Its flame retardant effect is better than DOPO.

4

Triazine UV absorbers: Anti-UV chemicals such as Oxybenzone, Octocrylene, etc. have been announced by the European Union to be banned in the future. Currently, Triazine has not been announced to be banned and the market price is high. Few companies have the ability to mass-produce it. The new process developed by the Company is more environmentally friendly than the traditional process. It uses a different reaction method to solve the bottleneck of large amounts of wastewater generated by the traditional process and occupying multiple reaction equipment, which can achieve mass production and reduce costs.

Polymer materials: The traditional bulk pipe and film market has sufficient supply due to the large number of producers. The market price is generally low. The Company mainly cooperates with downstream companies to develop various materials to differentiate themselves and strive for better prices. For example, they are used in: supercritical foaming TPU soles, TPU/TPV woven surfaces, TPU 3D printing materials, TPU shock-absorbing materials, and puncture-proof PU coatings.

BMI material: BMI resin is one of the main raw materials for copper foil substrates and has excellent physical properties. However, the general structure of BMI resin itself has low toughness and is brittle. The company mainly cooperates with customers to develop customized modified BMI.

  • (3) Refine processes to improve quality and meet market demands.

2.3.2 Long-term Plan

  • 2.3.2.1 Key trends and strategies on industrial transformation

With the rise in climate change awareness and environmental consciousness, government agencies are continuously tightening environmental regulations. Due to Taiwan's limited natural resources and densely populated environment, industries with high pollution and energy consumption will gradually lose competitiveness under the increasing costs of energy and environmental protection. Consequently, the chemical industry will pivot towards developing low-pollution, high-value products in the future.

  • 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

2.3.2.3 Diversification Strategies

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

5

3 Overview of Technology and R&D

3.1 Technical Level

In response to the development trend of international chemicals, our company's research and development targets are mainly chemicals with large market demand and technological barriers, and we attach importance to the novelty, advancement, industrial applicability and growth of the developed technologies.

The development team is mainly composed of organic synthesis and polymer chemistry technical experts, combined with a production team with extensive chemical manufacturing experience and trade talents with a keen eye for market development, to invest in the research, development, manufacturing, OEM and sales of polymer materials and specialty chemicals.

3.2 Product development plan

More specifically speaking, the Company’s products include PU, POLYOL, TPU, TPV, special plastic material, plant and environmental protection drugs, active pharmaceutical ingredients, antioxidant, anti-UV agent, polyolefin synthesis, PCB reducing agent, curing agent and graphene oxide, special flame retardant, 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 low-pollution and low-energy-consumption manufacturing process techniques is deemed as our corporate social responsibility.

  • (6)International Market outlook

  • (7) Leadership

11

The 18th Board of Directors of our company consists of a total of 7 members., of which three are independent directors, and there should be more than half of the seats among the directors without spouse or relationship within the second degree amongst themselves. Currently, only 1 director has kinship within the second degree (representative of Chiaoli Investment Co., Ltd., which originally had kinship within the second degree: LIN, YU-PING). Furthermore, based on the above, all members of the Company's board of directors do not fall under the circumstances listed in Article 30 of the Company Act, and comply with the provisions of Article 26-3, Paragraphs 3 and 4 of the Securities and Exchange Act. The independent directors also meet the requirements outlined in Article 3, Paragraph 1, Subsections 1-9 of the

“Regulations Governing Appointment of Independent Directors and Compliance Matters for Public Companies”, and do not concurrently hold more than three positions as independent directors in other public companies.

2. Diversity of the board of directors

For the board of directors to achieve the aforementioned goals and enhance its effectiveness, the Company has formulated a policy on diversity of board members. According to Article 20 of the Corporate Governance Best Practice Principle, the board members shall consider diversity, and the number of directors who are also managers of the Company shall not exceed one-third of the total number of directors. Additionally, the Company formulates an appropriate diversification policy based on its own operation, operation type and development needs, including but not limited to the following two standards:

  • (1) Basic conditions and value: gender, age, nationality and culture

  • (2) Professional knowledge and skills: professional background (such as law, accounting, industry, finance, marketing or technology), professional skills and work experience

The Company currently has a total of 7 seats on the board of directors, of which 3 are independent directors. At this stage, the target ratio of female directors is 10%. The current board of directors includes 2 female directors, with a ratio of 29%.

Does the Company establish a governance structure
to promote sustainable development, and set up
dedicated (part-time) position to promote
sustainable development, which is authorized by the
board of directors to handle senior manager, and the
board of directors supervises the situation?


P
In line with the Company's vision and mission for sustainable development, the
board of directors agreed on 8 August 2023, to establish the "Sustainable
Development Committee" and formulate the “Sustainable Development
Committee Charters.” The chairman of the board serves as the convener, with
the general manager as the vice convener, collaborating with senior executives
from various departments to review the Company's operational and governance
capabilities and establish medium- to long-term sustainable development plans.
The “Sustainable Development Committee” serves as a vertically integrated
and horizontally connected cross-departmental communication platform. Its
primary function is to identify sustainability issues relevant to the Company's
operations and stakeholders, formulate corresponding strategies and work
policies, execute annual plans, monitor implementation effectiveness, and
ensure that sustainability strategies are integrated into the Company's daily
operations.
The “Sustainable Development Committee” met on 26 June 2024 and 23 July
2024. The agenda items included: (1) goals and objectives related to
sustainability issues, (2) progress and planning of sustainability reports, (3)
greenhouse gas inventory and confirmation of execution status. and (4) the
implementation status of the risk management policy, as well as the Company’s
sustainability practices—including the execution of greenhouse gas inventory
and the preparation of the sustainability report—were reported to the board of
directors on 6 August 2024.
The board of directors regularly receives reports from the management team
(including sustainability reports) and evaluates the Company's strategies. The
board must assess the likelihood of strategy success and regularly review
progress, urging adjustments to the management team when necessary.

within the Company, the board aims to clearly understand the risks faced in operations, ensure the effectiveness of risk
management, and ultimately bear the responsibility for risk management. Under the board, there is a "Sustainability Development
Committee," which further establishes a "Risk Management Team" led by the general manager. This team is responsible for
executing risk management tasks, including identifying and evaluating operational, financial, information security, legal, human
resources, environmental, climate change, and other risks. It regularly reviews risk control reports from various units, tracks
execution progress and improvements, and consolidates and reports the results of risk management execution from each unit to
the Sustainability Development Committee. The Sustainability Development Committee manages the process of climate-related
risks and opportunities and periodically evaluates the effectiveness of related strategies and impacts. It submits the results of risk
management execution to the board of directors on a regular basis each year.

  • 1.2 Industry Overview

  • 1.2.1 The present and the future

  • (1) Chemical industry is the cornerstone of consumer products and technology industry. It can be divided into two broad categories which include commodity chemicals and fine chemicals. Fine chemicals are complex substances that are produced in batches, lesser volumes and at a higher unit price. Prone to variations from different composition, the products have diverse characteristics. As the chemicals are significantly smaller in scale of production, the cost only accounts for an insignificant portion in the total product costs. Considering the fine chemicals’ low ratio in the end-use costs, the users don’t usually take risks changing their suppliers. As a result, fine chemicals customer loyalty is greater than that of commodity chemicals.

Widely used in the industry, fine chemicals are a class of specialized products used for various purposes. Therefore, it is ambiguous to state what defines fine chemicals. polymer additives, adhesives, and coatings are the three categories in which fine chemicals are mainly used. Take our products for example: antioxidant, nucleating agent and nonhalogenated flame retardants lie in the “polymer additives” category, while curing agent and electronic chemicals are found with applications such as golf ball core, printed circuit board, etc.

  • (2) Polymers maintains a certain hardness in room temperature and can be softened and reshaped after heating. Thanks to its excellent physical properties, polymer is gradually replacing the easily-broken rubber and PVC that’s prohibited in phases. Some areas where this chemical is used include: pipe material, membrane, footwear materials, textile, medical devices and adhesives.

  • Polymer is faced with the fluctuating raw material costs and environmental protection policies as its challenges. As the upstream raw material is trending toward selfmanufacturing, we can reduce our costs. Moreover, the downstream processing market gradually switched from China to Southeast Asia and other regions. Due to the competitive market and the price war on general products, the industry is shifting towards functional or customized products, as well as eco-friendly products, such as expanded elastomer. This development is beneficial to market segmentation and helps maintain profit.

  • (3) Agrochemicals are particularly important as the population grows and the demand for food increases. According to statistics from the Food and Agriculture Organization of the UN, if every country around the globe fails to exercise plant protection, 60% of the crops will not be harvested, which may immediately cause global famine. Under the future development of the international division of labor and supply chain integration, the Company benefits from its deep OEM relationships with world-class manufacturers in this industry.

  • (4) Other technical developments such as flame retardants used in PCB: restricted by the EU regulations, phosphorus flame retardants are relatively low in toxicity. Therefore, they will extensively replace brominated flame retardants and become the key selling item in the future.

109

1.2.2 Correlation with upstream, midstream, and downstream of the industry

Taiwan’s petrochemical industry develops in a reverse integration manner. First, the downstream processing industry is established, and then the petrochemical processing raw materials imported from abroad form a midstream system. Finally, a naphtha cracking plant is built to supply petrochemical basic raw materials to form a complete upstream, midstream, and downstream petrochemical system.

The upstream of the petrochemical and plastic rubber industry chain includes: crude oil, naphtha, gasoline, diesel, kerosene, fuel oil, and lubricants refined from crude oil, and related mining and drilling equipment. The midstream is the basic petrochemical raw materials produced by the cracking of upstream raw materials, such as ethylene, propylene, butadiene, benzene, phenol, etc., as well as plastics, rubber, and man-made fibers made from the above raw materials through chemical reactions such as polymerization, esterification and alkylation. These materials are roughly divided into general-purpose and special-purpose chemicals according to their use. As for downstream, application varies from all kinds of daily necessities made of plastic, rubber, man-made fibers to other chemical raw materials, such as plastic products, rubber products, detergents, man-made fibers, dyes, adhesives, plasticizers, pesticides and cosmetics. The Company’s main products are fine chemicals, thermoplastic elastomers and agrochemicals, which are in the mid and downstream of the industry. The correlation among upper, middle, and downstream are listed as follows:

1.2.3 Trends in product development and competition

(1) Fine chemicals – plastic additives

Trends in product development:

The major companies in the industry are BASF from Germany, SI Group from the United States, Songwon from South Korea, Adeka from Japan, Rianlon, Everspring Chemical, and Chang Chun Group from China. Although the additive market is huge, numerous manufacturers in China and India have entered the market, and international giants have continued to consolidate upstream and downstream resources through mergers and acquisitions. Additionally, the reliance on imported key raw materials makes domestic enterprises vulnerable to international situations and fluctuations in crude oil prices. In addition to competing with international giants, domestic companies also face the problem of oversupply of some general-purpose products. Therefore, developing high-tech and high-specification special efficient antioxidants is the key to maintaining better profits.

The increasing global awareness of environmental and health issues has led to related

110

regulations that restrict plastic additives that are harmful to the environment and human health. In the future, the industry development trend will mainly focus on developing green and eco-friendly products, additives for biodegradable plastics, and additives for recycled plastic materials.

  • (2) Polymer products

The polymer industry has many competitors for thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), including well-known companies such as BASF, Covestro, Huntsman, Lubrizol, and Wanhua Chemical from China. International giants have already consolidated upstream key materials such as MDI and polyol, and small and medium-sized companies do not have an advantage in raw material costs. TPU can adjust the formula to produce finished products of different specifications according to the different physical property requirements of customers. As customer demands are not the same and the technical resources of each manufacturer are also different, few companies can meet all customers' requirements alone. This results in the proliferation of small and medium-sized companies, with lower-level technical items often being oversupplied. In the future, developing high-value-added products through differentiation and customization will be necessary to avoid price competition. The current industry development trend is mainly focused on developing environmentally friendly products that are highly functional and recyclable.

  • (3) Agrochemicals

The demand for plant and environmental protection products is less affected by economic conditions due to the global shortage of food and the need for disease vector control. However, the long-term demand for plant and environmental protection products will gradually decrease due to the policies advocating environmental friendliness and pesticide reduction in various countries. The development of new plant protection products requires considerable technical expertise and funding. If a company wants to sell new products directly on the market, it must first obtain pesticide licenses from the pesticide regulatory authorities of each country, which can take several years to obtain. Therefore, most companies engaging in new product development and marketing are international industry leaders. Our company mainly cooperates with international industry leaders to provide professional pesticide formulation contract manufacturing services.

  • (3) Low moisture absorption and easy dyeing new TPV (KP800 series)

  • (4) Development of TPU two-component self-coiling composite fiber

  • (5) Patent: Thermoplastic polyurethane self-coiling composite fiber and fabric

  • 1.4 Short-term and Long-term Business Development Plan

  • 1.4.1 Short-term Plan

  • (1) Strengthen the cooperation with international manufacturers and increase the market share.

  • (2) New Phosphorus-containing flame retardant:

    • This new flame retardant provides excellent heat resistance primarily for circuit boards used in electronic products. With the increasing heat resistance demands for substrates in next-generation high-end electronic devices such as servers and network communication equipment, traditional phosphorus-based flame retardants can no longer meet these requirements. Sunko has independently developed a novel flame retardant synthesized by bonding functional groups based on the DOPO chemical structure (9,10-dihydro-9oxa-10-phosphaphenanthrene-10-oxide) with superior flame-retardant performance compared to DOPO.

Triazine-based UV absorber:

UV-blocking chemicals such as Oxybenzone and Octocrylene have been listed by the European Union to be banned in the future. Currently, Triazine-based UV absorbers are not included in the banned substances list and remain in high market demand with relatively high pricing. However, few manufacturers possess the capacity for mass production. Sunko has independently developed a new and more environmentally friendly production process compared to traditional methods. This new process uses a different reaction approach that resolves key bottlenecks such as excessive wastewater generation and the need for multiple reaction equipment, thereby enabling cost-effective mass production.

Polymeric materials:

The conventional mass markets for pipe and film are characterized by oversupply and intense competition, resulting in generally lower market prices. In response, Sunko focuses on differentiated development by collaborating with downstream partners to create specialized materials that command better pricing. Key application areas include: supercritical foamed TPU shoe soles, TPU/TPV textile surfaces, TPU materials for 3D printing, TPU shock-absorbing materials, and puncture-resistant PU coatings. BMI materials:

Bismaleimide (BMI) resin is one of the key raw materials used in copper-clad laminates and is known for its excellent physical properties. However, conventional BMI resins typically exhibit low toughness and are prone to brittleness. Sunko collaborates closely with clients to develop customized modified BMI resins to enhance performance and meet specific application needs.

  • (3) Enhancing processes to improve quality and meet market demand.

112

  • 1.4.2 Long-term Plan

  • (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 low-pollution and high-value-added products
  • (2) Research and development and technical services

    • a. Self-develop and form patent applications

    • b. Provide technical services to meet customer demands

    • c. Assist customers in developing customized products and grab the preemptive opportunities in the market

  • (3) Diversification Strategies

Well utilize the Company’s background in chemical manufacturing, patents, and certifications to develop chemical products or upstream and downstream applications in other related fields. Seek out businesses that are chemical-related and supported by the government

  • (4) “Save Energy, Save Earth”

2.1.2 Market supply and demand and market growth in the future

Items Description
Fine chemicals 1. The specialty chemicals industry is primarily influenced by
the petrochemical sector and global economic trends,
particularly the Chinese market. In addition, due to the ongoing
Russia-Ukraine and Israel-Palestine conflicts, global oil prices
remain volatile at elevated levels, driving up the prices of
specialty chemical products. According to estimates from the
Petrochemical and Specialty Chemical Industry Yearbook, the
petrochemical industry has likely reached the bottom of its
downturn and is showing signs of recovery. With global
consumer demand gradually rebounding, the production value
of specialty chemicals is expected to grow by more than 3% in
the near future.
Polymer
Products
TPU and TPV products have a wide range of applications and
are closely related to people's livelihood and industry. They are
widely used in pipe, film, footwear, textile, medical, adhesive
and other fields. In recent years, due to the rising environmental
awareness and the fact that polymer products can be melted and
recycled, do not release harmful substances, and have natural
degradation characteristics, the overall market demand is
expected to steadily grow.
Agrochemicals Due to the global trend of reducing pesticide uses, and the small
domestic market size for pesticides, Sunko mainly cooperates
with foreign companies to produce various pesticide raw
materials through strategic partnerships for export. We also
maintain a small-scale production of pesticide raw materials to
meet the demand of the domestic market.
