1.3 Development Strategy and Impact from Competition, Regulations and Overall Business Environment:

  • (1) Competition:

Consumption pattern shifted in post-pandemic era. Digital media products have largely replaced traditional products as physical pre-recorded products are under pressure of increased raw material cost, logistic cost, labor cost and foreign exchange fluctuation, forcing many competitors out of the market. In view of tackling the problems, the Company had responded swiftly in advance to maintain the quality control, reflect the cost onto the product price and being more competitive against its rivals. In addition, the development of cultural and creative industries is often limited to the attributes, acquisition conditions, and market potential of revitalization projects, resulting in longer development schedules. Creativity and diverse dining options which trend conformity, convenience, and meet consumer demands are considerations in product development. In recent years, there has been an impact from the pandemic. External factors affecting the renewable energy industry are influenced by government energy policies, site acquisition, and the widespread adoption of product prices. Solar power plants are also affected by the scale of factors such as whether the

2

maintenance system is well-established and the investment in new plants. The company continues to improve in these areas.

  • (2) Environmental Policy:

The production and operation costs have not been eased by environmental policies while responsibilities become harsher. The main issues for the products are (1) intellectual property adherence and protection, (2) product technology licence fees (some is due), (3) Regulations regarding food safety, and 4) regulations regarding energy etc. Main issues for operation are (1) regulations regarding labor force, (2) environmental policy, (3) regulations regarding occupational health and safety, and (4) corporate social liabilities, ethical governance and sustainable development etc. As a public listed company, the Company has obligation to follow the above-mentioned matters and implement internal control, ethical governance as well as fulfilling corporate social responsibilities in order to achieve sustainable development.

  • (3) Overall Business Environment:

According to the 2025 Taiwan Economic Outlook Report by the Chung-Hua Institution for Economic Research, with the continued expansion of AI applications in recent years and a rebound in global merchandise trade, the global economy is experiencing modest growth. Looking ahead to 2025, the impact of U.S. unilateralism and the ongoing challenges in China’s economic recovery remain significant variables that may influence global trade and economic rebound — both of which will be key factors affecting Taiwan’s economic growth trajectory in 2025. Nevertheless, demand recovery for electronic products, coupled with growing demand driven by emerging technologies such as high-performance computing and artificial intelligence, along with adjustments in Taiwan’s trade policies, are expected to sustain investment momentum and drive economic growth. The economic growth rate for 2025 is projected to be 3.10%.

In terms of private consumption, rising wages and a bullish stock market are expected to have a positive income effect, boosting consumer demand for dining, accommodation, and both domestic and international travel.

On the investment front, strong demand for AI, low-carbon development, and automation is expected to continue driving companies to expand production capacity and equipment. In addition, major international firms are increasing their investments in Taiwan, leading to a sharp rise in electricity demand. Real private investment is forecast to grow by 5.46% in 2025. Regarding foreign trade, robust demand for new technologies such as high-performance computing and AI will support export growth in electronics and ICT products. Taiwan’s increasingly critical role in the AI hardware supply chain is expected to further bolster trade performance. As for prices, electricity rate hikes implemented twice this year will take time to be fully reflected in overall price adjustments. In addition, the ongoing increases in minimum wage and raises for military, civil service, and education sector personnel are contributing to overall wage growth, suggesting that inflationary pressures will likely remain elevated next year. Looking ahead, the global economic environment is expected to be more uncertain than in the past, particularly with a new U.S. president taking office. The extent of future protectionist trade policies remains unclear, as do the responses of major economies. Furthermore, deteriorating international trade conditions may accelerate the restructuring of global supply chains and increase market fragmentation.

Due to factors such as competition in the industry environment, regulatory constraints, rising operational costs, and overall economic conditions, it is imperative for the company to adhere to its operational policies and proceed with caution in executing its strategies. Facing future developments, enterprises should closely integrate digital information with development strategies, continuously strengthen the integration of supply chains, finances, and sustainable operations, in order to adapt to the constantly changing market environment.

2.1.1.4 Diversification and Independence of Board of Directors:

The current directors of the company are composed of 7 directors, including 3 independent directors. Independent directors account for 43% of all director seats. The three independent directors do not have the conditions specified in Items 3 and 4 of Article 26-3 of the Securities and Exchange Act. This includes situations where directors and independent directors have spouses and relatives within the second degree. The directors of the company are composed of talented people with rich experience in various professional fields. In order to achieve the ideal goal of corporate governance, the overall board of directors has the following abilities: 1. Operational judgment ability. 2. Accounting and financial analysis skills. 3. Operation and management capabilities. 4. Crisis handling capabilities. 4. Industrial knowledge. 5. International market outlook. 5. Leadership skills. 6. Decision-making ability. There are 2 seats between the ages of 40 and 49,and 1 seats between the ages of 50 and 59, and 3 seats between 60 and 69 ,and 1 seats between 70 and 80. The number of independent directors is 2 for 9 years and 1 for 3 years. We also pay attention to gender equality among board members, and the target ratio of female directors is 25%. There are currently 7 directors, including 1 female directors, with a ratio of 14.28%. Their qualifications meet the independence standards stipulated in the law. (Please refer to (1) Information on Directors and Supervisors and the table above); the company also has a "Director Selection Procedure" that clearly stipulates the selection of directors and the nomination and qualification review based on the candidate nomination system, and a resolution of the board of directors shall be submitted to the shareholders' meeting after approval In summary, the board of directors has become independent through its election.

Explanation and Measures Regarding the Board of Directors Not Reaching One-Third Representation for Either Gender:

Reason for Current Status:

The current board consists of seven directors, elected at the shareholders’ meeting on June 14, 2024. However, there is only one female director. Although this complies with the relevant legal requirements at the time, it does not meet the one-third gender representation threshold. This shortfall is primarily due to the characteristics of the industry, which make it difficult to recruit suitable candidates within a short time frame.

Measures to Promote Gender Diversity on the Board:

Before the end of the current board’s term and prior to the next re-election, the company will actively seek resources from industry and independent director talent databases to promote gender equality among board members and enhance corporate governance effectiveness.

U-Tech Media Corporation

Transfer shares of other companies and issue new shares Evaluation opinion letter from the sponsoring underwriter

U-Tech Media Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "U-Tech") completed the acquisition of shares from Ricare Corporation (hereinafter referred to as "Ricare"), issuing 9,000,000 common shares at a par value of NT$10 per share, with a total issuance amount of NT$90,000,000. This transaction was duly reported and effective as of December 18, 2023, under letter No. 1121806050 issued by the Taiwan Stock Exchange Corporation. The exchange date for shares was set as February 1, 2024, and the change of registration was completed on February 29, 2024. Pursuant to Article 9, Paragraph 8 of the

"Guidelines for Issuers Conducting Public Offerings and Issuing Securities," U-Tech consulted the lead underwriter regarding the issuance of new shares for the acquisition of Ricare shares. As of the end of the first quarter of 2024, an evaluation opinion was provided regarding the impact on U-Tech's finances, operations, and shareholder equity.

  1. Financial Impact:

  2. Ricare was originally a 30.77% equity investment held by U-Tech. Through this share exchange, U-Tech increased its stake in Ricare, making it a consolidated subsidiary with an 80.77% ownership. With Ricare and its subsidiaries demonstrating stable growth in long-term care services and increasing demand in the Taiwan and Japan markets, it is expected to enhance Ricare's overall profitability. This will contribute to the increase in U-Tech's consolidated revenue from Ricare and the net profit attributable to the parent company's shareholders, thereby generating positive benefits for U-Tech's finances.

  3. Operational Impact:

  4. The storage media sector previously associated with U-Tech has matured beyond the pre-recorded disc industry and expanded its service core from early pre-recorded media to areas such as catering, green energy sales, etc. In order to transform its business operations and consider industries with positive impacts or development trends on Taiwanese society, U-Tech has integrated Ricare and its subsidiaries to establish a comprehensive long-term care service model. By combining it with U-Tech's "catering culture and community economic projects," besides deepening existing long-term care businesses sustainably, it can also extend other diversified businesses centered around long-term care services, thereby benefiting U-Tech's operations.

  5. Impact on Shareholder Equity: The issuance of 9,000,000 new shares by U-Tech to acquire Ricare shares represents approximately 4.81% of the total number of shares issued by U-Tech, 154,984,450 shares, which does not significantly dilute the holdings of original U-Tech shareholders. Through this transaction, U-Tech has elevated its relationship with Ricare from an investment to a controlling entity, strengthening the cooperation between both parties. Considering the synergies of resource integration and effective allocation, it is expected to inject operating income, reduce operating costs, and thereby enhance profitability, resulting in positive benefits for shareholder equity.

  6. Expected Benefits Realization: The share exchange date was set as February 1, 2024, with the change of registration completed on February 29, 2024. Through the sharing of experiences and resource exchanges between both parties, there are positive benefits in terms of finances, operations, and shareholder equity. Therefore, the benefits of this exchange transaction are expected to gradually materialize.4.5.2 For the share issuance in connection with the merger or share transfer from other companies that had been resolved by the Board of Directors in the most recent year and as of the annual report publication date, the implementation status and the basic information of the merged company or the company whose shares are acquired by others should be disclosed

In line with the project of Old House Taipei which emphasizes the revitalization of old buildings to preserve and perpetuate the city's texture, history, and culture, it encourages private enterprises and organizations to participate in the restoration and renovation of vacant old houses, incorporating more culture and creativity into neighborhoods and architectural spaces. This innovative urban regeneration mechanism aims to promote urban revitalization and transformation. Through the mediation of the Department of Cultural Affairs, Taipei City Government, the company has taken on the task of rebuilding the Yangmingshan American Military Housing. As the property holds a historical architectural status and is bound by the Cultural Heritage Preservation Act, its usage must comply with the principles outlined in Article 3 of the Cultural and Creative Industries Development Act. The company plans to utilize the building for the development of music-related cultural and creative businesses, falling under the second category defined by the Cultural and Creative Industries Promotion Act, which includes the music and performing arts industry. This endeavor aims to breathe new life into the existing space and introduce new ways of utilization. Similarly, future development projects will be approached and managed in the same manner.

Considering energy security, green economy, and environmental sustainability, Taiwan enacted the "Renewable Energy Development Act" in July 2009 to promote renewable energy. To meet the target of renewable energy generation accounting for 20% of total electricity generation by 2025, the Act was amended on May 1, 2019, taking into factors such as the domestic potential for renewable energy development, domestic economy, and stable electricity supply. The amended Act sets a total target of promoting renewable energy generation capacity to over 27 million kilowatts (kW) by 2025, providing clear and stable policy goals to promote the steady development of renewable energy in Taiwan.

In addition, Taiwan is the world's second-largest producer of solar panels, indicating significant industry potential. With the goal of achieving a non-nuclear homeland by 2025, the government has positioned the solar energy industry as one of the green energy technology projects under its "5+2 Industrial Innovation Program." Furthermore, the government has introduced a stable preferential purchase rate for solar power plants for 20 years and provides subsidies for solar communities at all levels of counties and cities. Additionally, assistance for residents in installing solar roofs is offered as incentives, all of which are important factors in promoting the development of solar energy. As shown in the table below, Taiwan's installed capacity of renewable energy has been steadily growing. In 2023, the overall installed capacity reached 17,955 MW, and by 2024, it reached 21,052 MW. The annual growth rate is 17.2%. Among these, solar energy installations accounted for 12,418 MW of the total renewable energy installed capacity in 2023, increasing to 14,281 MW by 2024. The annual growth rate is 15%. Based on this estimation, the target for solar installations is 20,000 MW by 2025. Hence, there is still a need to accelerate the construction pace of domestic solar power plants

2 Market share

In recent years, global industries have been impacted by COVID-19 pandemic and political events (such as the Russia-Ukraine conflict, tensions in the Middle East, and incidents in the Red Sea). This has led to imbalances in supply and demand and severe constraints in the supply chain. The pre-recorded media industry has faced pressures from raw materials, shipping costs, labor expenses, exchange rates, and more. As competitors struggle to cope with these pressures, many have been forced out of the market, resulting in diminished competition in the domestic pre-recorded optical disc sector. According to import-export data from Taiwanese and Japanese customs, the company's main product, pre-recorded optical discs, has seen its import share in key markets, particularly in Japan, grow from approximately 32% in 2019 to 46% in 2024. This indicates the company's significant presence in the pre-recorded optical disc industry

  • 3 Future demand and supply and growth of the market

  • A. Regarding pre-recorded media, according to market reports from relevant research institutions, the global pre-recorded DVD market has entered a mature and declining phase after many years of growth, largely due to the rapid advancement of digital technology. The data indicates a continuous decline in demand for these products, except for a relatively slower decline in BD products. The downward trend in other products is unlikely to change, given the maturity of the industry and increasing competition. This trend has led to a decline in product prices, and companies with weaker capabilities will be forced to exit the market. Therefore, during this phase, the company is essential to continuously improve the manufacturing processes to maintain high-quality services and ensure a certain level of production capacity utilization as a primary focus.

  • B. Cultural and creative industries are developed based on the roots of local culture, and they cannot be easily replaced by anyone else. They possess a highly competitive advantage. Taiwan's cultural and creative industry is towards diversification and has already established a foundation. Once consumer awareness becomes more pronounced, the economic effect will be significant. U-Tech has a solid foundation in the development of cultural and creative industries, and in its long-term planning, it supports strategic cutting-edge innovation and participates in the operation of cultural and creative marketplaces (parks). By combining its media industry characteristics with technological innovation, U-Tech enriches the cultural industry's content and promotes its diverse applications. The company also emphasizes corporate social responsibility by addressing public issues. As for the response from the catering market, consumers have always been brave enough to try and experience. Providing diverse and creative cuisine is one of the important factors to meet consumer needs. The consumer market has recovered after the epidemic, and the growth rate of catering consumption has increased significantly. Companies must seize this opportunity.

  • C. The energy business is a newly ventured market for the company. In addition to its existing expertise in managing distributed power plants, the government's promotion of energy goals in the year 2025 has facilitated the establishment and operation of networks. The company aims to collaborate and participate in large-scale public power plant projects, aligning with its track record and

52

accomplishments.

  • D. The demand for long-term care services is proportional to the aging population. Facing the trend of super-aged society, companies must make advance arrangements and plans.

  • 4 Competitive advantages

  • .Comprehensive provision of Total Solution & Turn Key services to customers.

  • .High production capacity, high quality, and stable delivery of CD DVD BD.

  • C.Have precision Stamper manufacturing capability.

  • D.Have one of the few BD production lines in Asia with high entry barriers and relatively low competition.

  • E.Inherent cultural heritage in the industry (cultural and creative).

  • F.Professional management capability in distributed power plants (energy).

  • G.A complete long-term care platform has been established

  • 5 Factors affecting future development, as well as corresponding strategies

  • A. Favorable factors

    • (a)DVD-Video serves as a medium for home entertainment.

    • (b)The multimedia and gaming software market constantly introduces new offerings.

    • (c)The demand of high-definition BD is stable.

    • (d)The cultural and creative industry is thriving in the Taiwanese market.

    • (e)Government energy policies (energy)

    • (f) Aging is coming, demand is increasing

  • B.Unfavorable factors and countermeasures

    • (a) Impact of digital technology and online streaming

Countermeasures: Stay informed about the trends of the media market and respond flexibly to market developments.

  • (b) Influence of cloud technology application

Countermeasures: SafeDisc anti-piracy technology enhance product performance to prevent unauthorized copying and burning.

  • (C)Intense price competition in the industry

Countermeasures: The cultural and creative industry aims to integratively combine people, culture, location, scenery, and products to create distinctive communities or local cultures.

  • (d) Industry cost rises continuously.

To mitigate the risk of concentrated procurement, follow the principle of sourcing from two or more suppliers for the same item.
