New Risk • Jun 25
New major risk - Revenue and earnings growth Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 46% per year for the foreseeable future. This is considered a major risk. Ultimately, shareholders want to see a good return on their investment and that generally comes from sharing in the company's profits. If profits are expected to decline, then in most cases the share price will decline over time as well. In addition, if the company pays dividends it will also likely need to reduce or cut them, striking a dual blow to total shareholder returns. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk Earnings are forecast to decline by an average of 46% per year for the foreseeable future. Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (207% cash payout ratio). Market cap is less than US$100m (NT$1.95b market cap, or US$66.3m). Declared Dividend • Jun 22

EPS is expected to grow by 12% over the next year, which should provide support to the dividend and adequate earnings cover. Valuation Update With 7 Day Price Move • May 15

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 6.2% a week.

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 Dividend is not well covered by earnings (166% payout ratio). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.2% average weekly change). Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (3.3% net profit margin).

New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 15% This is considered a minor risk. Shareholder dilution occurs when there is an increase in the number of shares on issue that is not proportionally distributed between all shareholders. Often due to the company raising equity capital or some options being converted into stock. All else being equal, if there are more shares outstanding then each existing share will be entitled to a lower proportion of the company's total earnings, thus reducing earnings per share (EPS). While dilution might not always result in lower EPS (like if the company is using the capital to fund an EPS accretive acquisition) in a lot cases it does, along with lower dividends per share and less voting power at shareholder meetings. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Minor Risks Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (15% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (NT$2.11b market cap, or US$66.3m). Reported Earnings • Mar 17
