The Company continues to be the leading producer of automatic-dimming rearview mirrors in the world and currently is the largest supplier to the automotive industry with an approximate 79% market share worldwide in 2025.

While the Company believes it will retain a significant position in automatic-dimming rearview mirrors for some time, another U.S.

manufacturer, Magna Mirrors, a division of Magna, continues to compete for sales to domestic and foreign vehicle manufacturers and is supplying a number of domestic and foreign vehicle models with its versions of auto-dimming mirrors and appears to have considerably more resources available to it.

As a result of tariff and counter tariff actions in the global economy, and with the Company primarily manufacturing in the United States, the Company's export sales into the China market were impacted in 2025, resulting in an overall reduction in global market share.

It is expected that such tariff and counter tariff action will continue to negatively impact the Company's export sales into China and further affect the Company's ability to compete in that market.
