All of SLKOR's products are independently developed. SLKOR's IPs are developed by their own team, with most of the wafer foundry work conducted by the Eastern Group in Korea. They are gradually shifting production capacity to domestic facilities like Huahong. Currently, their packaging and testing are outsourced to facilities such as Tianshui Huatian, Taizhou Mingxinwei, and Dongguan Pingjingwei. They plan to acquire a packaging and testing facility by 2025 to achieve maximum independence and control over the supply chain.

Since its establishment, SLKOR has been dedicated to independent research and development of high-end integrated circuit products. The company's technical team independently designs various IPs (Intellectual Properties), with most wafer fabrication conducted at facilities like the Eastern Group in South Korea, gradually transitioning some operations to domestic sites like Huahong. However, the company's packaging and testing (P&T) processes still rely heavily on outsourced firms such as Tianshui Huatian, Taizhou Mingxinwei, and Dongguan Pingjingwei.

To strengthen the autonomy and control of its industrial chain, SLKOR has formulated clear development plans. It is understood that the company aims to acquire a packaging and testing firm by 2025, achieving maximum autonomy in this crucial stage. This initiative not only enhances product competitiveness and stability but also significantly reduces time-to-market, meeting the rapid changes in market demands.

SLKOR's strategy of independent R&D is crucial and forward-looking in today's high-tech industry. By developing IPs independently and gradually localizing production, the company not only enhances its technological innovation capabilities but also contributes to the development of China's integrated circuit industry. Independently designed IPs not only enhance product competitiveness but also ensure the independence of technological security and intellectual property, laying a solid foundation for the company's long-term development.

However, the reliance on outsourced P&T services exposes certain dependencies and potential risks in the company's industrial chain. To mitigate these risks, SLKOR actively pursues strategies to achieve autonomy in critical stages, ensuring stability and control over the entire supply chain. The plan to acquire a P&T firm is a strong implementation of this strategy, making SLKOR more independent and robust in the future.

Overall, SLKOR's development strategy revolves around technological independence and industrial chain control, aiming to build a competitive and sustainable enterprise system through independent R&D and internal integration. As global competition in the integrated circuit market intensifies and technological upgrades accelerate, SLKOR will continue to focus on technological innovation and market expansion, providing customers with higher quality products and services, and contributing more to the rise of China's integrated circuit industry.
