Part 1 Business Operation and Operating Performance

                  6.  Always allocate ATK test kits to employees.

               The Company underscores the importance of the satellite operation and therefore has continually issued additional
               guidelines, which include guidelines on setting up an emergency backup satellite operation station, supporting
               mRNA (Booster Shot) vaccination for staff, social distancing, limiting the number of staff working in the station
               (particularly staff working in the satellite operation and TV broadcast functions), working from home and using
               various online applications to support the Work-from-Home policy, home isolation, maintaining a record of staff’s
               travels and activities at various places, providing staff with the Antigen Test Kit (ATK), taking care of staff who are
               infected and receive treatment from a hospital or stay at home (Home Isolation), and procuring oxygen tanks for
               staff and their family. As a result of the above practice, the Company maintains the continuity of its business
               operation and all employees are safe and healthy during the coronavirus disease (COVD-19) pandemic.

               3.  Climate change risks
               As climate change is a global issue and of much concern to all sectors, and has become an emerging risk, the
               Company underscores the importance of the issue and potential impact, and assesses relevant climate change
               risks, in terms of both physical risks and transitional risks and opportunities.
               For the physical risks, such as flood, etc, which could disrupt the business operation, because staff may be unable
               to access the workplace or the service station is damaged, causing the Company to be unable to continue providing
               services, the Company mitigates the risk by regularly exercising the crisis management procedures, especially for
               those working 24/7 for providing services to customers; preparing the Information Technology system with highest
               information security to be ready for staff to work from home or from the backup workplace; securing the service
               station from a flood by putting up sheet piles around it, installing fire prevention equipment, and preparing backup
               fuel to be ready for generating electricity in case of emergency.
               For the transitional risks and opportunities, the Company sees some business opportunities by using its technical
               strength and expertize in Earth Observation (EO) technology to monitor tree growth and calculate carbon absorption
               by utilizing geospatial data integrated with Artificial Intellengence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML), and developing
               carbon measurement and management platform that is standardized, transparent, convenient, and faster and more
               cost-efficient than the conventional measurement method. The Company expects that its EO technology will help
               solve the global warming issue due to Green House Gas (GHG) emissions and at the same time create its business
               opportunities.
