 model, we plan to continue to invest in growing in our payment gateway business, which could also help generate additional revenue from the total transaction 
 amount in our payout business.                                                                                                                                                                     |

We also aim to provide stablecoin and digital wallet solutions to emerging markets, such as South America and East Europe, to help tens of millions of unbanked small businesses to receive and send payments with stablecoin. Explore Strategic Acquisitions and Transactions We periodically consider acquisition opportunities that expand or enhance our payment network and are strategically beneficial to our long-term goal. For example, following the successful acquisition of PayNow in May 2023, a payment gateway in Taiwan, we plan to continue to acquire payment gateways and/or licensed financial institutions. By acquiring payment gateways, we will be able to expand our customer base and cross-sell our blockchain solutions and inventory management services. In addition, we plan to acquire PMS providers in order to grow our customer base in the hospitality sector, which could also become cross-selling opportunities for our payment solutions. Expand Regional Licensing and Approvals to Operate in Additional Jurisdictions In addition to our current licenses and application in the United States, Japan, Singapore and Hong Kong, we plan to further expand our capabilities by acquiring relevant payment service provider licenses or money transmitter licenses in the EU, the United Kingdom, South America and other jurisdictions where we plan to launch our OwlPaybusiness.

By possessing the required qualifications in an increasing number of jurisdictions, we will be able to further grow the scope of our business offerings as well as our customer base.

We focus on creating a user and developer-friendly software that empowers enterprises with optimized efficiency in business operations. Our research and development staff are based in our headquarters in Taipei, Taiwan as we project our technology and scale our operations globally. We have continued to invest in our research and development capacity, and our technological capability is exemplified across our business segments.

Our solution stored on the blockchain the production information and field data collected by IoT devices, along with an intuitive, easy-to-useuser interface for customers to access records of the whole supply chain.
