New major risk - Earnings quality The company has a high level of non-cash earnings. Accrual ratio: 28% This is considered a major risk. Non-cash earnings can arise from many different things. However, if a company consistently has a high level of non-cash earnings, it may be a sign that they are recognizing revenue from customers before the full value of the sales are received as cash or they are not depreciating the value of their assets appropriately. These are practices that inflate earnings, while not providing a similar increase to cash flows. Companies in some select industries naturally have a high level of non-cash earnings and it is not a major concern. However, in the worst case scenario it can be an early sign of performance manipulation by management. Currently, the following risks have been identified for the company: Major Risk High level of non-cash earnings (28% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Paying a dividend despite having no free cash flows. Market cap is less than US$100m (NT$1.66b market cap, or US$51.8m). Reported Earnings • Aug 15

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.

New minor risk - Dividend sustainability The company has a short dividend paying track record. Less than a year of continuous dividend payments. Dividend yield: 2.8% This is considered a minor risk. For dividend focussed investors, companies that have not established a long-term track record of consistently maintaining or growing dividends are less attractive than those companies that have a long track record. Those that have a long track record have proven their underlying business is stable enough to consistently maintain or grow the dividend and that the company considers maintaining the dividend to be one of its priorities. 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 Latest financial reports are more than 1 year old (reported June 2021 fiscal period end). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). High level of non-cash earnings (118% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Short dividend paying track record (less than a year of continuous dividend payments). Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (17% increase in shares outstanding).

New minor risk - Market cap size The company's market capitalization is less than US$100m. Market cap: NT$3.07b (US$98.9m) 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: Major Risks Latest financial reports are more than 1 year old (reported June 2021 fiscal period end). Share price has been highly volatile over the past 3 months (11% average weekly change). High level of non-cash earnings (118% accrual ratio). Minor Risks Shareholders have been diluted in the past year (17% increase in shares outstanding). Market cap is less than US$100m (NT$3.07b market cap, or US$98.9m).
