Interim Result June 2021
� Strong sales and profitability performance mainly contributed by huge demand of VGA cards which was far exceeded the supply
� Prices of VGA cards increased throughout 1H2021, product mix shifted toward more expensive product series that had further push the ASP upward
� HK$273.5m or 4% of revenue was contributed by sales of CMP cards
� Recorded an impairment loss of an installment receivable for HK$315.6m
� Share of profit of a JV was HK$61.1m; the JV has temporarily ceased

Remark: Brand VGA sales quantity in 1H2021 was able to catch up to sales quantity of 2H2020 but OEM VGA sales quantity missed byalmost 30% for 1H2021 vs. 2H2020.
2H2021 Business Outlook
� Business fundamental remains strong as the demand of VGA cards is still expected to be far exceed supply in 2H2021.
� Different factors expecting continue to drive the VGA cards ASP uptrend:� Product mix continue shifting toward more expensive product series (e.g. RTX3070Ti &
RTX3080Ti)� Price increase to compensate cost increment (components & logistics)� Demand is still way over supply which facilitates price increase� Potentially cost increase of GPU since TSMC has recently announced price increase for
10%-20%

� 2nd half is the traditional high season which usually comes with a strong sales performance on most product lines, such as EMS and PC.
� Crypto demand on CMP cards are raising probably due to crypto coin prices rebound.
� Looking into a more stable GPU supply from Nvidia in the 2nd half of 2021.

2022 Business Outlook
� Revenue and profit ability will likely continue driven by demand over supply of VGA cards.
� A stable GPU supply from Nvidia is continued to be a key factor affecting sales revenue and profitability.
� Nvidia warned earlier this year that the great GPU shortage would last throughtout 2021, and now the company expects supply issues to continue well into 2022. Speaking on Nvidia’s Q2 fiscal 2022 earnings call this week, Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang said he expects supply constraints for the majority of next year. (18 Auguest 2021).
� Semiconductor foundries have also announced supply constraint which may last for a much

� Semiconductor foundries have also announced supply constraint which may last for a muchlonger period of time and take times to build new plants in order to increase capacity.
� Potentially new generation of GPU may introduce to the market in 2022 since a GPU generation used to last for approximately 2 years in our experience, FY2016, FY2018 and FY2020.
� If there is not much change of the industry fundamental, the demand of VGA cards is likely consistently exceed the supply.
� Brand business shall still be the main revenue driving force vs. OEM business since OEM customers are less flexible to response to the component shortage situation but brand business has the product re-design capability to adopt alternative components.
� Continue to expand direct e-commerce business under Zotac brand in Japan, Korea and U.S., and explore the feasibility of direct e-commerce sales in other countries.
