New major risk - Financial position The company's debt is not well covered by operating cash flow. Currently running at an operating cash loss. This is considered a major risk. If the company's operating cash flows are too small relative to the size of their debt, it increases their balance sheet risk. The company has less cash from operations to cover its expenses from servicing large debt and it increases the risk of liquidity issues. It also extends the time it would take for the company to pay back the debt in full, meaning it may not be able to easily pay it all off in a distress scenario. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risks Debt is not well covered by operating cash flow (currently running at an operating cash loss). High level of non-cash earnings (32% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). Market cap is less than US$100m (NT$2.69b market cap, or US$85.3m). Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • May 07

New major risk - Dividend sustainability The dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 368% Cash payout ratio: 113% Dividend yield: 4.2% This is considered a major risk. Companies that pay out too much of their earnings and cash flows are at risk of having to reduce or cut their dividend in future. If earnings or cash flows stagnate or fall, then there may not be enough to maintain the same dividend. Or in extreme cases, companies may opt to dig into capital reserves or take on debt to maintain the dividend. For dividend paying companies, any reduction in the dividend can significantly impact the share price. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Dividend is not well covered by earnings and cash flows. Payout ratio: 368% Cash payout ratio: 113% Minor Risks High level of debt (49% net debt to equity). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.0% average weekly change).

New minor risk - Share price stability The company's share price has been volatile over the past 3 months. It is more volatile than 75% of Taiwanese stocks, typically moving 8.1% a week. This is considered a minor risk.

It also increases the risk of potential losses in the short term as the stock tends to have larger drops in price more frequently than other stocks. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks High level of debt (51% net debt to equity). Dividend is not well covered by earnings (368% payout ratio). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (8.1% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (1.8% net profit margin).

Either way, risk is elevated with these companies because there is a chance the product may not come to fruition or the company's addressable market or demand may not be as large as expected.
