Part 1 Business Operation and Operating Performance

               The Company's operating strategy

                      The Company is committed to business operations to generate continuous growth. Therefore, the new
               vision and mission have been adjusted to be in line with current and future business operations from being a satellite
               operator providing satellite transponders and services company to become a Space Tech Company. The Company
               intends to create sustainable growth and capture opportunities for both satellite services and new space tech
               businesses in the emerging new space economy.  This the Company determines to be the driving mechanism that
               develops the space industry and fully utilizes the economic resources of the space industry to create value and
               benefit the economy and society as a whole. For these reasons, our business strategies are categorized into 3 main
               strategic areas in order to achieve the target including:

               1. Strategy for Business Operation
               1. Strategy for Existing Satellite Communications (Satcom) Business

               Regardless of the end of the concession regime whereby the Company previously had the rights to build, operate
                                                                            th
               and provide satellite communications services under Thailand filing, on 10  September 2021 after the concession
               ended, we are still able to continue to provide the Satcom business.  As our existing customers are of utmost
               importance, to extend our services beyond the end of the concession, the Company continued to lease partial
               satellite capacity from THAICOM 4 and THAICOM 6 to resell and provide services for our existing customers.
               Additionally, we continue to own and operate THAICOM 7 and THAICOM 8 satellites under NBTC licenses whereby
               we also continue to provide satellite capacity services to our customers.

               For  THAICOM  4,  to  ensure  broadband service  continuity,  the  Company  will  leverage  and  maintain existing
               customers as well as the expansion of managed service portfolio. The Company will also continue utilizing local
               resources and the presences of our subsidiaries efficiently to secure revenue from commercial and government
               sectors for broadband and managed services.

               For other satellites, to maintain the broadcast businesses, we are aiming to secure long-term contracts with existing
               broadcast customers and are planning to increase the capacity utilization for telecom and mobile backhaul services
               as well as develop the managed service platform.
               In addition, the Company is focused on building recurring revenue for sustainable growth by expanding into
               downstream businesses and collaborating with technology expert partners to create products and services for
               serving new demands, such as NAVA – the maritime broadband service platform for ships and offshore operators
               – to deliver secure and reliable broadband connectivity to customers across the sea and Thaicom Express – a
               satellite retail broadband service – in targeted remote areas in Thailand and abroad.

               2. Strategy for New Satellite Communications (Satcom) Business
               The Company recently emerged as the winning bidder for satellite orbit access rights on January 15, 2023 and was
               granted official use rights by the NBTC on January 18, 2023. This new satellite project is a strategic addition to the
               Company's operations and has been carefully planned to support and grow the business by providing continuity of
               service to current and future customers, while also expanding services in markets where the Company has
               established expertise, such as Thailand, India, and other Southeast Asian countries.
               To achieve its objectives, the Company's strategy for the new satellite project is divided into three parts. First, the
               Company aims to establish the satellite infrastructure as a foundation for its business. Second, the Company seeks
               to  expand its  service offerings by leveraging partnerships with overseas businesses and  utilizing advanced
               technologies such as end-to-end managed services and flexible satellite technology. Third, the Company intends
               to improve the efficiency of its broadband and broadcast services by integrating next-generation ground technology
                                                                                                 Part 1 page 2
