New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: NT$3.15b (US$95.4m) This is considered a minor risk. Companies with a small market capitalization are most likely businesses that have not yet released a product to market or are simply a very small company without a wide reach. 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. In addition, if the company's size is the main factor, it is less likely to have many investors and analysts following it and scrutinizing its performance and outlook. 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.

New minor risk - Profit margin trend The company's profit margins are lower than last year and have reduced by more than 30%. Net profit margin: 4.1% Last year net profit margin: 6.0% This is considered a minor risk. A large drop in profit margin could indicate the company does not have strong competitive advantages or it is yet to establish itself and its core business. Even if it is a well established business, this may make it a much riskier investment than one that has a combination of proven competitive advantages and a stable or growing profit margin. 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. Profit margins are more than 30% lower than last year (4.1% net profit margin). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (9.8% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Nov 04

Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 88% per year but the company’s share price has only increased by 63% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings growth. New Risk • Sep 21
New minor risk - Shareholder dilution The company's shareholders have been diluted in the past year. Increase in shares outstanding: 9.8% 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: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (49% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Dividend is not well covered by cash flows (253% cash payout ratio). Share price has been volatile over the past 3 months (6.8% average weekly change). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (9.8% increase in shares outstanding). Reported Earnings • Aug 06

Over the last 3 years on average, earnings per share has increased by 104% per year but the company’s share price has only increased by 58% per year, which means it is significantly lagging earnings growth. New Risk • Jul 19
New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The company has an unstable dividend paying track record. The dividend has had an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Dividend yield: 2.1% This is considered a minor risk. If the company has cut or reduced its dividend in the past, it may be a sign that the underlying business is too cyclical to consistently maintain or grow the dividend over the long-term. It may also indicate the company prioritizes other outcomes instead of maintaining 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 Risks Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (8.3% average weekly change). High level of non-cash earnings (22% accrual ratio). Minor Risk Unstable dividend paying track record with dividend experiencing an annual drop of over 20% in the past. Upcoming Dividend • Jul 12
