(2) Industry development prospect, competition situation and industry status The future will be an intelligent society, and intelligentization will be a long-term, lasting and far-reaching change having a wide influence, and will deeply affect modern life, and change product forms at the same time. Intelligent control is the core technology of the future intelligent society and the brain and nervous system of intelligent equipment, and will become the necessity of the intelligent society. We think that the intelligent control industry is a big industry without a ceiling and the next gold mine of the intelligent society. There are currently three trends of shift, concentration and growth in the industry: 1. There is an obvious trend that international market is shifting to China. The shift is accelerated by industrial clusters and the advantages of the engineer bonus in China as products become increasingly complex, individualized and differentiated, requiring fast R&D and product delivery, as well as reliable and consistent quality. 2. Domestic shares are concentrated in the top enterprises. In the past three years, the growth rate and order concentration of leading enterprises have been better than those of other peers. With the development trend of "desinicization" under the trade war, leading enterprises with global operation ability have taken the lead in global layout and accelerated the secondary concentration of the industry; 3. New technology and application development has created space for growth. The expansion of industry applications and the upgrades of technology have accelerated the process of human intelligence, and new technologies such as 5G, IoT, and AI are driving the development of intelligent society, providing the intelligent control industry a historic opportunity. As a global leading provider of intelligent control technology, the Company focuses on the field of intelligent control, adheres to the concept of value creation, and constantly strengthens its technical capabilities, and has formed a comprehensive technology system of “three electrics and one network” for four industries of home appliances, tools, lithium battery application and industry, providing intelligent control solutions for downstream machine manufacturers. Intelligent controllers are technology-intensive products including algorithm and hardware. With the continuous and in-depth development of intelligentization, the rapid iteration of technology will improve intelligent controller ODM (original design manufacturer) customization demands, and brand owners' requirements for technological innovation ability of suppliers will become increasingly higher. Relying on 25 years of continued R&D investment, the Company has core competitiveness in terms of technology and product innovation, and it has become a leader in intelligent control solutions for the home appliance and tool industries, and an innovator in the industry and lithium battery application industry. 1. Home appliance industry The Company is the pioneer and leader in the home appliance control segment in China. In recent years, the global home appliances show a trend of accelerated concentration of brands, and the “head effect” is more and more obvious; on the other hand, a trend of increasingly mature of the IoT technology, accelerated infrastructure construction, and accelerated “intelligent” penetration rate can be found. As the total growth of the global home appliance market is slowing down, in order to gain stronger market competitiveness, major home appliance brand owners are putting forward higher and more comprehensive requirements for upstream solution providers, such as differentiated and innovative solutions, high-quality and low-cost products, and stable and reliable delivery, etc. In addition, international big customers require upstream with multinational localization service capabilities because of increased international trade protectionism. In order to seize the opportunities mentioned above, the Company has adopted a multi-dimensional structured change strategy for customer structure, product structure, cost structure and operation structure to achieve sustained and stable high growth in performance. 1.1 Customer structure: The Company has made some adjustments and optimization on the basis of the “spindle shaped” customer structure, increased the development of global integrated customers (big customers) and actively cultivated innovative customers (sci-tech innovation customers) on the basis of deep cultivation of top customers (strategic customers) in segments. 1.2 Product structure: The Company has increased its investment in product platform and IoT platform, adopted the strategy of “technology platform + product platform + customized solutions”, systematically sorted out hundreds of electric control technology platforms and home appliance product platforms, and increased the efforts of platform reuse to maintain the agility and efficiency of innovation while reducing the marginal cost of customized R&D. The Company can now quickly provide customers with customized services in different application scenarios, gradually playing the pooling effect of the platform, while ensuring the innovation of the solutions. In addition, the IoT platform of the Company can offer customers with one-stop, scenario-based and customizable services, and has now accumulated nearly 100 projects, some of which have already entered the mass production stage. 1.3 Cost structure: After the implementation of centralized purchase, the Company has strengthened the control of key categories and general categories and given full play to the advantages of batch purchase. At the same time, on the basis of ensuring quality and delivery reliability, the Company increased the efforts of cost reduction of solution design and material procurement by using batch production to ensure that customers are provided with high-quality and low-cost products to enhance the overall competitiveness in the customer end. 1.4 Operation structure: In order to meet the demand for localized and agile services for internationalized big customers, the Company has accelerated the construction of domestic operation bases in Yangtze River Delta (Ningbo) and Vietnam (Dong Nai), and sped up the introduction of customers and mass production in India (Pune). 2. Tool industry The tool industry mainly includes electric tools, gardening tools and other professional tools. The user market is mainly concentrated in Europe, the United States and other developed countries and regions, with high brand concentration and high requirements for quality. In recent years, the tool industry has ushered in the opportunity of “oil to electricity” and “cordless” technology upgrading. Many products powered by fuel before have been gradually powered by lithium batteries instead. The battery, electric control and electric of the products motor also need to be upgraded. At the same time, some domestic traditional OEMs start to conduct industrial upgrading and branding operations, and gradually show up prominently. In addition, since the tools are mainly exported to developed regions such as Europe and the United States, and they are greatly affected by trade policies and tariffs, the Company is also required to have overseas delivery capabilities. As the leader of the subdivided tool control industry in China, the Company has the unique competitive advantage of "electric control + motor + battery", playing a unique value in promoting the development of the tool industry. In terms of customer strategy, the Company adopts the strategy of "international big customers as the main, regional customers as a supplement".

Lithium battery application industry In the context of global energy revolution, new energy represented by lithium battery is rapidly replacing traditional fossil energy and lead-acid batteries, etc. The lithium battery industry is divided into general and specialized segments. The general segment mainly refers to new energy vehicle batteries, standard batteries, etc. Due to continuous progress of technology, increased competition and economies of scale, the cost of lithium batteries in the general segment continues to decrease, with serious homogenization and fierce price competition. The specialized segment is for a large number of customized batteries for various industries, such as communications, power conversion, IoT, special vehicles, recreational vehicles, home storage and ships. Although the single market size of the specialized lithium battery is relatively small, but the added value is also relatively high. The prospect of lithium battery for replacing the original fuel power or lead-acid battery is very broad, and opportunities for large-scale applications in many market segments are produced. The Company focuses on the specialized segment of lithium battery, with “energy storage + small-scale power” as the main development direction, and achieves sustained rapid development in a number of market segments relying on safe and innovative technology and products. In the field of communications, with the construction of 5G and other “new infrastructure” information infrastructures, a large number of equipment that originally achieve energy storage for electricity with lead-acid batteries need to be provided with lithium batteries instead; in the field of electricity, due to the high volatility of PV, wind power and other new energy generation, new energy power stations are required to be provided with a certain proportion of lithium battery energy storage, bringing opportunities for market growth of energy storage on the power generation side; in the field of individuals and families, as a portable and environmentally friendly source of energy, lithium battery offers convenient and intelligent experience for home energy management and use, low-speed vehicle power and consumer electronics, and its scope of application is gradually expanded. In terms of technology and products, based on the comprehensive advantages of "battery + electronic control + Internet of Things platform", the Company has the ability of R&D, manufacturing and packing of multiple types of cells, and provides solutions from cells and the battery management system (BMS) to the Internet of Things system. 4. Industrial control industry In recent years, the efforts of policy support and industrial support for the intelligent manufacturing equipment industry have been further strengthened in China, the domestic substitution has accelerated, the capacity of domestic industrial control market has increased significantly, and the industry maintains the momentum of sound development. At present, there is still a large space for improving the overall degree of localization of industrial and automation equipment, and there are medium- and long-term opportunities to develop domestic substitution for core control components. Compared to the giant companies of foreign industrial control, there are absolute advantages for the localization solution in terms of cost. At present, the breakthroughs of core technology and product reliability verification have gradually matured, and the domestic substitution trend is irreversible and has great prospects. The Company has a leading domestic market share in the field of stepper motor industrial control and is in the first echelon in the field of servo motor industrial control. The Company now has more than 3,000 automation equipment manufacturer customers, with whom it has established and maintained continuous and stable cooperative relationships directly.
