Dear Shareholders,
In the second half of 2023, due to customers adjusting inventory and slowing down the speed of purchasing goods, the demand for orders from the industrial computer industry decreased, and the performance turned to slight growth or even decline. Looking forward to 2024, the inflation index will begin to decrease as central banks continue to raise interest rates. The U.S. FED may begin to cut interest rates in the first half of the year to avoid an economic recession. With inventories returning to normal levels, demand for industrial computers and other equipment will restart growth.

The new generation of fully rugged Internet of Vehicles car factory testing tablets has passed IP65 dustproof and waterproof and MIL-STD-810 drop and vibration test certifications. It meets the actual use scenarios of car factory employees and can withstand temperatures from -20°C to 60°C. It provides rich interconnection interface functions during operation, and connects the vehicle data and data center servers to provide accurate and correct safety detection data. In terms of military ships, the newly developed 4K-UHD ship display has fully introduced capacitive touch panels and complies with electronic chart specifications.

In terms of management process system, the company passed two new management system certifications, ISO 27001 information security and ISO 45001 occupational safety and health last year, to improve the protection of company information and personnel safety, and to control and reduce operational risks and impacts. In addition to expanding the coverage of the management system mentioned above, the company also continues to improve and improve existing management process systems to ensure the effectiveness of each management system, including ISO 9001 quality management system, ISO 14001 environmental management system, and IECQ QC080000 hazardous substances process.

It belongs to the downstream of the technology industry and has relatively low operational risks. Despite this, the company still responds to changes in technology or the industrial environment at any time, making appropriate adjustments to business strategies and avoiding risks. In addition, because the products developed and produced by the company are mainly sold in developed countries such as Europe and North America, the formulation of laws and major policies are more stable than in other regions., so it is expected that the company's business operations will not be significantly adversely affected by important domestic and foreign policy and legal changes this year.
Looking forward to 2024, in the face of changes in the global economic situation and challenges from competitors, the company will still adhere to the business philosophy of "sustainable management, create value, and balance interests", market and serve customers, and hopes to become "the leader of industrial smart terminal technology" By".
