Regardless of the future development of future trade negotiations between the US and China, the uncertainty of manufacturers operating in Mainland China has increased a lot. How to pursue good fortune and avoid disaster has become the topic that all operators in Mainland China must solve as soon as possible.
-
There is no affection for company product export to America. Will consistently observe the sequence movement and the change of economic and market environment. Scheme the adaptive plan to avoid suffering unfavorable affection.
-

Each development trend and competition circumstance of products
-
(1) Product development trend
To become a professional manufacturer of key components for industry robot, cpc plans to continue to develop the following products horizontally:
-
A. Linear guide: It will continuously develop the roller-type linear guide with higher loadand hogher precision. With the exclusive patented technology of cpc, it will increase the product life span to the No. 1 in the industry.
-
B. Linear motor: Due to the direct drive system, the linear motor is favored by the equipment manufacturers who have high capacity, high precision requirements, and the market acceptance also becomes increasingly high. Although the overall linear motor module is gradually traded in the market, many other experienced customers choose components for self-assembly; both ironcore series and ironless series have their respective suitable market. For example, as the ironless series has no cogging force, it has smooth speed ripple, and is especially suitable for application of scanning. As the suction between mobile stator is 0, the mechanism volume can be shorten to save space; while the ironcore series has the advantage of high thrust density, it is suitable for using in the occasion of point-to-point motion.
The development roadmap of cpc can divide into two directions of manufacture processing:
- a. Special industrial processes:
To develop the miniature motor with the pulling force less than 10N, and the special motor that is applicable to bio-tech and IC packaging processes.
- b. Tool machine processes:
To respond to the increasing demands for the application scnariosof using linear motor on the tool machine, cpc has developed the Ironcore linear motor with the maximum pulling force above 20,000N. Moreover, since the temperature of the motor in working affects the machining precision, it designs the cooling device loaded to control temperature rise.
- C. Servo driver: With the arrival of industry 4.0, the demand for industry 3.0 is
increasing greatly. The industry 3.0 mainly lies in the capacity of industrial automation, the demand of domestic equipment manufacturers for localized components increases rapidly. CHIEFTEK PRECISION has always been a manufacturer of key components of precision machinery in the internal market; for example, linear guide, linear motor, linear motor module, motor serco driver, and even industry robot are all independently developed and manufactured.
In the aspect of drive control technology, for the linear motor driver, there is almost no completely independently developed product in the domestic, and most of them are matched with the system of Europe and the United States, causing the price competitiveness decreases significantly, and the independent technology is restricted. From the perspective of practical experience, when the marketing strategy of matching with the European driver is adopted, the existing linear motor market development generally concentrates on the sale of complete system, thus the biggest advantage is that the customer can maintain the fixed technology window, but may be also easily closed by the technology like Japanese brands to implement the price bundling, which may reduce the competitiveness on the contrary. For this situation, CHIEFTEK PRECISION will develop the linear motor driver truly meet the merkat demand with many years’ experience in mechanical and electrical intergration. Such driver can not only match with the linear motor module produced by CHIEFTEK, but also can freely match with the linear motor module, linear guid, and optical scale. In addition, by using the existing sales channel, CHIEF PRECISION has established the driver grand of proprietaty technology in the dimeastic,
In the aspect of machinery communication, to adopt information exchanging capability emphasized by Industry 4.0 trand, in addition CANopen communicative interface in the related-industry, CHIEFTEK PRECISION is also developed the driver equip with EtherCAT communicative interface. With efficient and real-time communication performance, EtherCAT is gradually valued and preferred in the industry. Its bottom layer is the architecture of industrial communication protocol based on the Ethernet, which can support multi-axis real-time control function. In view of this, cpc will take the driver based on EtherCAT communication as the slave. In the future, it will develop the motion controller with master identity vertically.
- D. Driver software function update: Linear motor has high speed, high precision properties, the demand for auxiliary software function of linear motor (such as friction compensation, interference filter) is increased with increased user. Short the response time is become the one of main develop technique for many axial application particularly, in view of this, CHIEFTEK PRECISION have developed a special algorithm to measure the resistance value of the motor, as well as generate motor parameters that can shorten the response time. Considering the safety and electronic components, we have also added compensation and estimation to the current loop. In addition, we have added a number of supported encoders in the driver
graphic user interface (e.g. Sine/Cosine, Resolver, EnDat, Nikon, etc.), and we will add Nyquist plot and Nichole's chart to enhance the image visualization and analysis of the data in the future. We have also expanded the streamlined orders supporting underlying virtual machine, and look forward to the future development of features that allow users to write C-language scripts directly. In addition, Two-axis on-board Driver's decoupling function for Gantry Stage is also our development project in response to market demand.

E.Sensor: Sensor like the nerve which make machine can sense outside, in charge of message transmission. One of the key link of intelligent industrialized is how to obtain required information and transmit through whole inflation network. So the sensor is the critical component to decide whether the data is correct directly. The reliability, resolution and anti-dirt of sensor is the key index of quality. Now CHIEFTEK PRECISION has already develop and mass produce magnetic position sensing component with resolution up to 0.5μ. In the future, will use the micro mechanic and electronic design, and extend to acceleration ruler, force ruler and sensor-related products. Developing directions are focus as follows:
-
a. Higher responding.
-
b. Can filter outside noise.
-
c. Origin signal is stable (no noise from its own).
-
F. DD motor: With demand of processing machine increased, direct drive rotated component (such as DD motor) is one of the develop item in necessary. CHIEFTEK PRECISION has developed DR-105 and RP-120 series of DD motor for the demand of light load (such as wafer equipment), high precision to use specifically. CHIEFTEK PRECISION will develop frameless and framed all series DD motors in the future, which can be divided into multi-axials articulate robot, machine tool and automation industry. With the increasing demand for processing large-sized components with special shapes, the direct-drive rotary motors required for the A and C axes are essential critical components. We will develop and mass produce frameless DD motors with outer diameters of 70-300 mm. When users have its space and price considerations, they will be able to purchase the purely rotor-stator products for their own design. Of course, we can also customize the straight-rotating platform that is most suitable for customers according to the customer's requirements for different loads, speeds and precision, which is designed for light load (such as wafer equipment) and high precision needs. In the future, we will develop a full range of frameless or housed type DD motors, which can be applied to multi-axis joint robots, machine tools and automation industries. Its main technical threshold is to achieve the highest motor efficiency and maximum torque in a limited space, and to provide high-speed DD motors for customers' requirements, so that we can become a professional manufacturer of rotary direct drive motors.

G. Communication processing equipment: At the current stage of automation industry, the format of signal is still transmitting by simple digital signal mostly, correspond to communication method of high-level machine tool , adapt character string package methodto raise the
reliability of system. Now automation industry is flourishing, the system trends to whole factory network control. CHIEFTEK PRECISION set the development of string adapt chassis as the beginning. The function is output incremental analog or digital differ signal of current encoder to Biss C common rule universal format of the industry and provide to driver and controller for using through this device.
- H. PLC and controller: So far, the operating system mostly used in industrial control is Microsoft's Windows operating system. However, Microsoft's Windows operating system cannot control the motor at high speed and precision. Therefore, RTOS (Instant Operating System) is generally used on the motor controller. The reason why we developed the Windows operating system to provide instant control, mainly to facilitate the integration of human-machine interface and controller into a single device, as well as to combine various software control modules, in order to reduce unnecessary communication lines.
(2) Competition circumstance:
-
A. Linear guide
-
The world’s first largest linear guide company is Japan’s THK, and the second is Germany’s Bosch Rexroth, then Schaeffler, HIWIN, IKO, PMI, Schneeberger, cpc , NB, etc. The quality leaders are mainly THK, Bosch Rexroth, INA, then IKO,Schneeberger, cpc .; while the price leaders are HIWIN, PMI, TBI, etc. When the linear guide manufacturers continuously increase the company establishment in the mainland with some large factories, in addition to the quality, the price competition is also increasingly fierce. cpc has actively put into development of large-scale high load and high rigidity linear guide, and improved the process and design to increase profits. Meanwhile, in response to the fiercely competitive market price, it has also actively developed the high-tech products, such as the linear guide with the miniature size of 1mm and 2mm, to provide the market demand of high precision and micro machine.
-
B. Linear motor

Regarding the development of manufacturing of key components of industry robots, the products such as encoder, motor component, linear guide and driver are all made by cpc. It can combine with the practical application in market to optimize the performance of the parts and components. Moreover, it puts into more efforts in the development of process equipment. While improving the entire scale of volume production, it can reduce the yield rate of products. This can control the entire costs betters. Moreover, the core technologies are expanded to customer needs, and better products quality are taken as the primary goal, providing innovative and optimal service for customers.
-
C. DD motor
-
Multi-axis is another aspect of precision processing. To reduce the consumption occurred by the time spend of workpiece turnover and material feed in/out and avoid precision difference and cost spend of core changing. At present, rotary axis of five-axis processing machine use a large number of DD motor progressively to achieve high speed, high precision processing. The structure of DD motor may be imagined the linear motor packaged into one object. Therefore, in the terms of DD motor research
and production, it can take over the development experience of linear motor. Which cause the DD motor of CHIEFTEK PRECISION compared with competitor has higher motor performance and reliability. Now cpc stresses the optimization of procedure to have more efficient control of the product cost.
- D.Sensor
- Germany, Japan are the most automatization countries. Germany and Japan are mature to produce sensor as sensing components of automation, the acuteness and quality are reliable but price is several times more than brand of other countries. Among most of force, visual and distance of sensors, CHIEFTEK PRECISION choose magnetic encoder which can be the feedback devise directly in linear motor system, sale through original owned market channel of linear motor to accumulate practice experience of encoder. It is believed to be the foundation of development of other type sensors.
- E.Servo driver
- Driver is one of critical components to perform motor control. To correspond the processing requirement of high perision specification at present, capability of driver to control outside factors is higher, also bring the upgrade and response of whole driver hardware to speed up. Now international market share of domestic automation is more than 70%. Facing such mature industrial technique, CHIEFTEK PRECISION developed high price-performance ratio driver products through the view of users to accumulate experience step by step and improve performance specification continuously.
- F.PLC and controller
- The trend of software controllers has been integrated on an integrated development platform to integrate multi-party modules or ready-to-install models on a single development platform for plant line configuration, EtherCAT communication configuration, and editing the PLC script and on-site information monitoring. As for the R&D and manufacturing of controllers, CHIEFTEK PRECISION will use fully autonomous technology, through the Company's professional talents, which develop from the underlying operating system, packet transmission mechanism and optimal path planning, in order to enhance the competitiveness of domestic control technology.

-
(F) DD motor
-
a. Highest motor efficiency:
The design of DD motor still takes the maximum motor efficiency as the
development goal, which can make the entire system achieve the energy-saving goal effectively.
b. Low cogging:
In the application of ironcore motor, the silicon steel plate will generate cogging when moving from N pole to S pole as the magnetic field has 180-degree magnetic rotation direction. Generally, it should design the cogging within 2% of rated torque, which can obtain high response for controlling.
- c. Large hollow external diameter:
The application of DD motor mostly fixes the load on the motor. The central hole of DD motor is usually used as the path of flat cable. With the increasing integration of the device, the wiring becomes more and more complicated. In this case, the size of hollow diameter is one of the indicators considered by the user.
- d. Guarantee of production technology:
The performance of cpc DD motor is far superior to other competitors in the market. Aside from the leading design, another key is the powerful process that can realize more strict processing conditions than other competitors. Besides the precision machining of fixture, the entire processing devices are self-designed and manufactured. Thus, the production technology is mastered by its own.
- (G) Magnetic encoder
High resolution and high precision: The magnetic encoders CHIEFTEK PRECISION developed which have been able to achieve the resolution up to 0.5 μm, and achieve the precision up to 10 μm/muse with our own unique calibration method, so we can provide another type of linear encoder in the market.
As for different applications, we have also designed the read head to be able to directly combine with the slide, and even directly read the magnetic pole of the stator for position feedback.
- (H) PLC and controller
Technology was completely independent development, from the bottom operation system software to UI control interface all can be handled totally. Which will establish efficiency channel onto the good foundation of electromechanical business.
- (I) Servo Drive
With the demand for mobile machinery has increased significantly (such as AGV, Drone, etc.), increasingly importance has been attached to DC drives, especially with the advent of Harmonic Driver, the maximum speed of the motor itself has also been greatly challenged, so high current drive devices is required to achieve the application conditions at this time. Therefore, CHIEFTEK PRECISION will use fully autonomous technology to develop small-volume, high-power servo drives.
- (J) EtherCAT transfer box
The device is an EtherCAT motor controller, which replaces the traditional pulse wave signal controlled by PLC, improves the anti-noise ability, enhances the stability of the system, and provides simultaneous conversion support of up to 12 axes. The device communicates with the existing PLC, which obtains the data of the internal components of the PLC, and then converts the corresponding commands, which are transmitted from the EtherCAT of the device to the cpc
driver. In addition, the driver information can be collected by EtherCAT and written to the specified PLC component in order to achieve command and feedback the bus signal.

/ net amount of real estate, plant and equipment.
-
Solvency
-
(1) Current ratio = current asset / current liability.
(2) Quick ratio = (current asset – inventory – prepaid expense) / current liability.
(3) Interest earned ratio=net profit before income tax and interest expense/current interest expense.
- Operating performance
(1) Accounts payable (including accounts receivable and notes receivable caused by business) turnover ratio = net sales/average accounts receivable ((including accounts receivable and notes receivable caused by business) balance.

Note 1: The financial date of 2014, 2015, 2016, 2017 and 2018 had been audited by the CPA. Note 2: The formula is as follows:
-
Financial structure
-
(1)The proportion of liabilities covered by assets = total liabilities/total assets.
-
(2)The proportion of long-term funds covered by fixed assets = (Shareholder’s net equity + long-term liability)/net value of fixed assets.
-
Debt-paying ability
-
(1)Current ratio = current assets/current liability.
-
(2)Quick ratio = (current assets–inventory - prepaid expenses)/current liability.
-
(3)Time interest earned ratio = income tax and net profit before interest expense/current interest expense.
-
Business capacity
-
(1)Receivables (including receivables and the notes receivable produced by the business) turnover = net sales/each average receivables (including receivables and the notes receivable produced by the business) balance.
-
(2)Average collection days = 365/receivables turnover.
-
(3)Inventory turnover = Cost of goods sold/average inventory.
(4)Receivables (including receivables and the notes receivable produced by the business) turnover = net sales/each average receivables (including receivables and the notes receivable produced by the business) balance.
(5)Average sales days = 365/inventory turnover.
-
(6)Fixed asset turnover = net sales/average net value of fixed assets.
-
(7)Total assets turnover = net sales/average total assets.
-
Profitability
(1)Return on assets = (post-tax profit or loss + interest expense× (1–tax rate) /average total assets.
(2)Shareholder’s return on equity = post-tax profit or loss /average shareholder’s net equity.
(3)Net profit ratio = post-tax profit or loss /net sales.
-
(4)Earnings per share = (net profit after tax - preference dividend) /weighted average issued shares.
-
Cash flow
(1)Cash flow ratio = operating activities net cash flow/current liability.
Net cash flow adequacy ratio = Net cash flow from operating activities for the Past Five Years /for the Past Five
(2)Years (capital expenditure + inventory increases + cash dividends).
(3)Cash re-investment ratio = (operating activities net cash flow - cash dividends)/(fixed asset’s gross amount + long-term investment + other assets + working capital).
- Lever degree:
(1)Degree of operating leverage = (net revenue - business change costs and expenses)/ sales revenue. (2)Degree of financial leverage = sales revenue / (sales revenue–interest expenses).
-
Note 3: For the calculation formula of the above earnings per share, the following matters shall be paid attention to:
-
Be subject to the weighted average of common stock shares rather than by then end of the year.
-
The one goes through a cash capital increase or treasury stock trading shall consider calculating the weighted average outstanding shares during the circulation period.
-
The one goes through surplus capital increase or turn add equity capital accumulation fund shall carry out retroactive adjustment based on capital increase ratio when calculating the earnings per share of previous years and semiannual.
-
If the preferred stock is the non-convertible cumulative stock, the current annual dividend (whether issued or not) shall be deducted from post-tax profit or added to post-tax loss.

Ⅵ. Risk Issues and Its Analysis
- (Ⅰ) Effects of Changes in Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange Rates and Inflation on Corporate
Finance, and Future Response Measures:
1. Interest Rates:
-
The Company’s 2018 and 2017 annual interest payment is NT$15,676 thousand and NT$11,972 thousand respectively, accounting for 0.75% and 0.81% of Net Operating Revenue respectively.
-
(1) Mainly due to the subsidiary Chieftek Precision International LLC purchased the factory in 2017 to increase bank loans, resulting in interest expenses.
-
(2) In addition to the above reasons, the Company's profit in the past two years has been stable and growing, as well as the Company regularly evaluates bank borrowing rates and maintains close contact with banks to obtain preferential interest rates and reduce interest expenses, so the interest rate changes will not have a significant impact on the company.
-
Exchange Rates:
The Company's export revenue is mainly in US dollars, Euros, and Yen, while the foreign currency is mainly in Euros and Yen. Therefore, part of assets and liabilities have natural hedging effects. However, in response to the risk of exchange rate changes, the Company has actively collected exchange rate changes to grasp and research the trend of exchange rate, as well as take appropriate hedging measures to reduce the impact of exchange rate risk.
The Company’s 2018 and 2017 net profit on currency exchange is NT$21,498 thousand and NT$20,933 thousand respectively, accounting for (1.03%) and (1.41%) of net operating revenue respectively, mainly due to the revenue in 2018 has grown significantly, so the exchange interest has also increased. However, as the proportion of the exchange gains and losses accounting for revenue is not high, the whole exchange rate has not been a major risk burden on profitability.
- Inflation:
In terms of the profitability of 2018 and 2017, there has been no significant impact on the Company's operations and profitability due to the high inflation. However, the Company will continue to pay close attention to the fluctuations in the economic environment and the market environment, in order to avoid the degree of negative effects of inflation and deflation.
- (Ⅱ) Policy regarding high-risk investments, highly leveraged investments, loans to other parties, endorsements, guarantees, and derivatives transactions; Major reasons for the profits/losses generated thereby:
The Company is dedicated to the operation of major business, and its financial policies are based on the conservative principle. The Company did not engage in any high-risk or high-leveraged investments. As for lending funds to others, endorsement and guarantee, and the transaction of derivative products, in addition to cautious evaluation, regular reporting and monthly control, the operation of the Company all comply with the “Procedures for Lending Funds to Others”, “Procedures for Endorsement and Guarantee”, “Procedures for Financial Derivatives Transactions” and “Procedures for Acquisition or Disposal of Assets” passed by the Board of Directors.
- (Ⅲ) Research and development work to be carried out in the future, and further expenditures expected for research and development work
The Company has invested NT$ 87,175 thousand of R&D in 2018, increasing by NT$ 21,793 thousand compared to NT$ 65,382 thousand in 2017, which the increase rate is 33.33%.
With the development trend of Industry 4.0, we will continue to develop automated basic precision machinery parts, and the estimated investment in research and development in 2019 will be raised to approximately NT$ 90 million the above.
-
(Ⅳ) Effect on the company's financial operations of important policies adopted and changes in the legal environment at home and abroad, and measures to be taken in response:
-
The US-China trade war has been escalated and the uncertainty of operations has been
-
raised. The Company will continue to pay close attention to the subsequent evolution of the event and changes in the economic environment and market environment, and timely formulate response measures, in order to avoid major negative effects.
-
(Ⅴ) Effect on the company's financial operations of developments in science and technology as well as industrial change, and measures to be taken in response:
The continuous innovation of technologies such as Industry 4.0 and industrial automation has expanded the application areas of the Company's products, which is a positive benefit to the Company. Therefore, the Company will continue to invest in research and development capabilities, combined with the long-term development trend of technology and industry, in order to enhance the quality of products to achieve sustainable development and growth of the Company.
There is no obvious manufacturing or related technology change in the industry or market to which the Company belongs. Therefore, there is no significant effect on the financial or business of the Company.
-
(Ⅵ) Effect on the company's crisis management of changes in the company's corporate image, and measures to be taken in response:
-
In terms of the corporate image, the Company highly values integrity and never pursues illegal profits. With professional R&D team and international operation pattern, it formulates a refreshing image in the industry. Moreover, with the goals of promoting social economy, improving environmental prosperity and guaranteeing staff welfare, it strictly follows the provisions of laws and regulation stipulated by the competent authority.
-
The Company's corporate image has always been good, and was all the top 20% of companies of the three round of corporate governance evaluation in the recent 3 years. It indicates that the Company's efforts in the field of corporate governance have been affirmed, and the Company continues to actively sponsor charitable activities such as the Tainan Traditional Chinese Cultural College Foundation and art group's performances has greatly enhanced the company's corporate image. It indicates that there has been no corporate crisis management caused by major changes.
-
(VII) Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Merger and Acquisition Plans: The Company has no ongoing merger and acquisition activities. In considering future
-
M&A activities, the Company will evaluate their efficiency, risks, vertical integration and other factors in accordance with its internal control system to guarantee the Company’s interests and original shareholders’ equities.
(VIII)Expected Benefits from, Risks Relating to and Response to Factory Expansion Plans:
The Company cautiously implements the plant expansion plan. Besides strengthening the financial structure through capital increase out of earnings, it also cooperates with bank club to acquire adequate funds. Moreover, the operating team of the Company owns rich industrial experience, understands the industrial demands for products, and can fully make use of the utilization rate of the new plant. The plant expansion of the Company goes through the complete, cautious and professional evaluation process. For any major capital expenditures, it shall report to director’s meeting and fully considers the investment returns and possible risks.
To achieve the business goal of sustainable operation, the Company completed the phase-II plant construction in Tainan Science Park in 2012, with the expectation to get rooted in industry of key linear motion parts. In addition, it plans to launch the “Project of New Plant Construction in Tree Valley Park” in 2017. Please refer to “IV. Impact of Major Capital Expenditure Items on Financial Business” in Section VII. Review of Financial Conditions,
Financial Performance, and Risk Management.
-
(IX) Risks Relating to and Response to Excessive Concentration of Purchasing Sources and Excessive Customer Concentration:
-
Purchase
-
Based on industry’s characteristics, quality rate, delivery and market supply and
-
demand, the Company purchases most miniature linear guides and slide cold drawing steel from Company A (Taiwan is the main production base for the Company, so the main stock manufacture of the combined company shall be same with the parent company’s). This manufacture is a world leading manufacture in cold drawing piece production, whose product quality is good. The Company has established cooperative relationship with it since the beginning and the long-term relationship is good. In order to maintain the elasticity with the supplier, the Company has not signed a long-term supply contract with Company A. And in order to avoid a shortage of materials and uncontrollable cost risk caused by a single supplier, in addition to maintain a good cooperative relationship with Company A, the Company is also actively seeking a new supplier to reduce the stock concentration. The purchase proportion from Company A has been reduced year by year since 2009 and the situation of stock concentration has been improved. The risk is limited.
-
-
Sales
Main products of the Company are miniature linear guide, standard linear guide and linear motor. The biggest trade debtor in 2018 is the subsidiary Chieftek Machinery Kunshan Co., Ltd. with 100% shareholding, which is accounting for 28.17% of annual net sales. Main business scope of Kunshan is to sell the products produced by the Company and provide after-sales service for mainland customers, so it is not a single customer of over-concentrated sales. As for the merged company, there has no customer that accounting for 10% of annual net sales. The Company will continue to develop new products and customers in the future and it is expected that there will have no circumstances that will affect normal operation due to concentrated sales.
-
(X) Effects of, Risks Relating to and Response to Large Share Transfers or Changes in Shareholdings of Directors, Supervisors, or Shareholders with Shareholdings of over 10%: The shareholdings of the Company’s directors and supervisors have been stable during the last few years, and there have been no major transfers or swaps of shares.
-
(XI) Effects of, Risks Relating to and Response to the Changes in Management Rights: The Company’s directors and supervisors actively participate in the Company’s operation and the management class has stronger sense of mission to the Company, regarding company’s operation as a tenure career. Our policy is to maintain a steady ownership and management structure. As of the date of this Annual Report, such risks were not identified by the Company.
-
(XII) Litigation or Non-litigation Matters:
-
Until the printing date of Company’s recent annual report, major ongoing lawsuits, non-lawsuits or administrative lawsuits, the matters that may have significant impact on shareholder’s equity or security price are: None.
