40 IX. Corporate Resolution and Fairness Opinion A. The Offeror's directors' consent to the Tender Offer (please see Attachment 1). B. The fairness opinion to the Tender Offer issued by an independent expert (please see Attachment 2). Calculation of Purchase Price in cash Evaluation on share-swap ratio Evaluation on other property Based on market value analysis, the P/B ratio analysis and the EV/EBITDA multiple analysis within the comparable company analysis, as well as the premium rates of public tender offers, the fair value of the Target Company's price per share should fall within the range between NT$40.27 and NT$ As such, the NT$60 per share cash consideration proposed by the Tender Offeror for the acquisition of Target Company's common shares should be fair. The pricing method, principle or calculation of the purchase price of the Tender Offer and the comparison among international market price method, cost method and discounted cash flow method: Not applicable 33 Not applicable The following three valuation approaches are commonly used by valuation analysts in corporate valuation: (1) Market Approach: For example: (i) market value analysis may be used for public listed companies, of which their fair value may be inferred from prices of their shares on the stock exchange markets; or (ii) comparable company analysis may be used to analyze a company's valuation by comparing the market multiples, such as the price to book (P/B) ratio, Enterprise value to EBITDA (EV/EBITDA) multiple or other financial ratios of the target company and its industry peers (i.e., comparable companies) based on the financial statements thereof. (2) Income Approach: For example, cash flow analysis may be used to convert the target company's future cash flow into corporate value, through the capitalization or discounting process, based on the cash flow generated by the target company's future operation. (3) Asset Approach: The total value of the individual assets and liabilities of the target company is evaluated to reflect the overall value of its enterprise or equity. Asset approach estimates the consideration required to reorganize or acquire the target company under the premise that the target company will continue its business operation. However, if the valuation is not based on the continuation of operation or use, the overall

41 liquidation value of the enterprise or equity should be evaluated. Based on the background and the purpose of this valuation, this opinion adopts the market approach (including market value analysis, P/B ratio analysis, and EV/EBITDA multiple analysis) as the main evaluation approach. The income approach uses the target company's estimates of future cash flows, which involves more hypothetical assumptions and uncertainties, and is not as objective as other approaches. The income approach is therefore not adopted herein. The asset approach is mainly applicable to target companies without market transactions. Considering Yungtay's operating model and asset structure, the asset approach is not an appropriate valuation method, and is therefore not adopted. The comparison As Target Company is active in the manufacture and sale of various among listed types of elevators, escalators and the components thereof, the companies (in following companies are selected among Target Company's industry TWSE or TPEX) peers that are listed on the Taiwan Stock Exchange and the Taipei of the same Exchange as comparable companies: Golden Friends (GFC, Ltd.) industry regarding Corporation (OTC Ticker: 4506; hereinafter, "GFC") and Hong Wei the financial Electrical Industry Co., Ltd (Emerging Board Ticker: 4565; conditions, profits hereinafter, "Hong Wei").
