���Letter of Shareholders
Distinguished shareholders, ladies and gentlemen:
Thanks to all shareholders for your continual encouragement and support to CHIEFTEK PRECISION CO., LTD. (cpc for short). Under the impact of China-U.S. trade ware in 2019, China and other countries around the world did not have significant growth in economy, which led to the sharp decrease in the export amount and production value of MIT machinery products compared with 2018.

In 2019, the consolidated income is NT$ 1,300,351 thousand, with a decrease of NT$778,550 thousand compared with NT$ 2,078,901 thousand in 2018, dropping by 37.45%. The net profit before tax in 2019 is as high as NT$222,227 thousand, compared with the pre-tax net benefit of 2016, NT$609,837 thousand, it is increased NT$387,610 thousand, dropping by 63.56%.

Hopefully, cpc can take advantage of its strong expertise in precision machinery to develop the system with soft power.
�� Effect of external competition, the legal environment, and the overall business environment
-
��� External competition
-
As China-U.S. trade war keep worsening in 2019, the overall revenue deteriorated. After the preliminary bilateral trade agreement was signed by China and U.S. in January 2020, people have been anticipating economic growth and increase in the demand for machinery equipment.
-
As the outbreak of COVID-19 appears to be worsening, the short-term impact on economy would extend from consumers to the production and supply chain; companies may reduce or postpone the procurement of machinery equipment.
-
����Legal environment, and the overall business environment
-
The Company is slightly affected by regular environment due to industrial property. However, observation from the microscope perspective indicates that with lockdown, comprehensive control over people and traffic, and other extreme pandemic-preventive measures being implemented by governments of countries around the world, the production and supply chain in addition to the consumer market would be impacted, leading to economic downturn. This could cause companies to downsize or postpone the investment in machinery equipment. In 2020, the above-mentioned phenomenon will have great impact on the Taiwanese machinery industry, which is highly reliant on exporting products.
5
The biggest advantage of cpc is that we have an abundant capabilities from mechanical processing to electronic control integration and the experience of the complete appliance, which is beyond the control of Taiwanese electronic control manufacturers and other opponents. Because since starting from critical components, CPC is already very familiar machining, and we can help our customers to do the best production line automation and intelligent planning with their own experience.
The micro linear slide, linear motors, and other products are key components to products of the medicine, semiconductor, and electro-optical industries, which indicates the potential of the cpc technological products. The Company would keep close observation of possible impact brought by changes in the environment and make immediate response. Also, it will be devoted in developing new products and improving existing techniques despite the limited resources and poor economic condition. The above-mentioned measures will enable the Company to offer products and services that caters to the need for smart machinery, automatized equipment, and mechatronic system.
The Company will still stick “Honest Operation Principle”, and continuously improve international competitiveness of the group, maximize the benefits for shareholders and customers, create the best career welfare for all colleagues, return the public with virtuous and skilled achievements, bring along social goodness, make everyone safe and happy and satisfied with their work and life. It is worth it definitely. I hereby wish all the shareholders
In good health and have a happy family!

In 2017, the requirement of new living industry such as 3C products and electric car market is increasing, that brings development of related industry. The equipment required by those industry processing belongs to high-end equipment. The automation of Industry 4.0 has been developed naturally in the market. The performance and reliability of equipment required by either automation equipment or high level industry is stricter, therefore the requirement for accuracy, durability, reliability of key components is improved relatively. It means the price is not the only requirement of key components, but also include reliability and quality which will be the one of key index.
B. Electronic and mechanical components: Motor (Generators)
The motor has a very wide range of types, which is closely related to our daily life, such as 3C and electrical appliances, industrial products of motor vehicles, aerospace, medical, electronics, automatic tools, machines and equipment, etc., that are absolutely necessary.
116
It can be roughly divided into induction motor, step motor, servo motor, linear motor and even micro motor according to the type, with the power varying from mini Watt to mega Watt.
The advantages and disadvantages of motor performance can be judged from: motor constant (specific value of power/heat), power density (specify value of power/volume), insulating property, waterproofness, durability, reliability, etc.
The latest development trend of motor is intelligent motor currently, which is the new type products accompanied with Industry 4.0. It combines driver and motor, that different from put drivers into power control chest which cause increased space required by room layout and wiring layout. The strengths of combination of both by intelligent motor is as follows: system layout is more specific (can correspond to the driver – motor clearly), flexibility of layout is higher, simplification of the wiring work and saving space in adaptation box. There are these types of products on the market now.
C. Controlling components:
Such components include frequency converter, driver, controller (cards), PLC and other accessories, such as communication adapter card, security system module, power supply, relay, switch, wire and cable, etc. The development of controller was focus on processing technique in the past, however, industry 4.0 emphasizes integrating “existing” industry-related techniques, data exchanging ability among equipment and process ability of data analysis, and controlled by intelligence. Therefore, the way it shows on products, that the trend of development will rely on the collection and analysis of big data, compatibility between equipment from different brands with fast communication and good communication quality (low noise interference), enhancement of default functional development of machinery (for example: more customized function that allowed users to setup “condition-reaction” openly, software module function that easy to use, and so on) to process the received information in time and make the purpose of intelligent control.
D. Sensing components:
There are such components like human’s nerve, including encoder, image recognition, accelerometer, gyroscope, strain gauge and other components known by the public, and there are all other components that can sense the information from different sources and analyze to conclude into available signals. With the development of technology, the innovation of this aspect quickly changes at a tremendous pace and is limitless.
With development trending of Industry 4.0, sensing components of various types, better precision and multi-signal transmitting format are required to meet requirements of automation equipment and intellectual factories.
E. Mechanical components:
Bearing guidance components: Bearing, linear guide.
Power transmission components: Gear, rack, belt, oil and gas pressure cylinder and balls crew.
There are many other components with different properties, such as locking joint, leak-proof, braking, spring, etc.
117
F. Linear module:
The linear motion module, as the name suggests, is an integrated platform for performing linear motion, and can be divided into servo motor, stepping motor, linear motor, pneumatic and hydraulic, depending on the driving element. Among them, the linear modules that use rotary motors include belts, screws, and racks as transmission elements. The accuracy, speed, and style of linear modules are increasingly demanded on the market today. Among them, the linear modules that use rotary motors include belts, screws, and racks as transmission elements. The accuracy, speed, and style of linear modules on the market today, which increasingly demands the yield, productivity, and design of automation of various industries. Therefore, the linear motor module has gradually become the only choice for high-speed and high-precision applications; generally speaking, the maximum speed of the linear motor module can reach 10 m/s, and the repeatability is at least less than 1 μm. Moreover, the linear motor require less wear parts, which has great advantages in dust emission, operating reliability and life. It will be an irreplaceable product in the semiconductor and biomedical industry as well as upgrade of panel specifications.
G. Industrial robot:
Key components are an important foundation for the development of industrial robots, and also the key to determining the quality of industrial robots. Frankly speaking, reduction drives and bearings, motors and drives, plus controllers account for more than 70% of the cost of industrial robots. Components are still mainly imported from Germany and Japan. There are indeed some domestic enterprises that have achieved localization, but performance stability, reliability and performance still need to be improved. The development of the manufacturing industry means that the demand for industrial robots has increased because industrial robots can not only improve efficiency and production quality, but reduce labor costs. Currently enterprises have increasingly higher requirements for industrial robot performance in order to further improve production efficiency and products Quality, so high-speed, high-precision and smart modular industrial robots are the primary development trend.
In addition, with more and more specifications and ever-changing 3C products, even the very mature domestic machine tool industry has begun to think about how to make breakthroughs on techniques. As a result, here comes the DD motor application on dividing plate of machine tools, which has improved the use of turbine modules in the past, and greatly shortened the processing cycle.
In terms of control, because each key component manufacturer has its own advantages, the entire industry is gradually improving its processing technology in a cooperative way. In order to increase the reliability of cooperation system, In order to improve the reliability of the entire cooperative system, it is no longer implemented as simple digital signal, instead, it is transferred to communication transmission. Therefore, the development of open communication formats and operating system platforms is also a key field for industrial intellectual development in the next few years.

Various development trends and competitions of products
-
(1) Development trend of products
In order to meet the requirements of customers on the market, Chieftek Precision will use its own research and development energy to integrate its own key components and develop linear motor modules and DD motors in different application industries, and continue to extend the product lines to the control side, and development of converting the local area network communication to EtherCAT format, which enables users to have more flexible system options:
- A. Linear guide:
Due to the wide application of linear guide, more and more specifications and sizes are required. The standard products on the market currently have a width of 1-65 mm, including the entire biomedical, semiconductor, machine tool and transportation engineering, and it also has extension of the metal type that can work under environment of high temperature and vacuum, ultra-low type with low center, ultra-long type with higher rigidity and linear guide rail with no return channel for limited travel to meet different applications of linear guide. In terms of precision, it has also reached a high-precision specification with a 4 meter long, with running precision of less than 10 μm; at this stage, CHIEFTEK PRECISION has successfully mass-produced a 2 mm-sized miniature linear guide and has a place in medical instruments.
- B. Linear motors and modules:
Due to the direct drive system, linear motors are favored by equipment manufacturers with high production capacity and high precision requirements, and the market acceptance is getting higher and higher. Although the deal on the market is gradually going with the entire linear motor module, there are still many experienced customers choosing to assemble components on their own. Moreover, the ironcore type and the ironless type have their own suitable markets. For example, the ironless type has smoother speed ripple because of its non-toning power characteristics, which is particularly suitable for scanning, and because the suction force between the moving stator is 0, the volume of the mechanism can be reduced and the space is saved; and the ironcore type has the advantage of high thrust density, which is suitable for the occasion of point-to-
119
point movement ��
The linear motor development blueprint of CHIEFTEK PRECISION can be divided into two major manufacturing processes:
a. Manufacturing process for special industries:
To develop a miniature linear motor module with an overall thickness of less than 10 mm. SMT equipment that requires high production capacity and biomedical testing equipment with high axis count density will be able to easily arrange the modules and build the most linear modules within limited space to execute high density multi-axis control.
b. manufacturing process for machine tools:
The demand for linear motors application in machine tools will increase in the future. Currently, we have developed a motor with a thrust of 5,000N. The longterm goal is to develop a ironcore linear motor with a maximum thrust of more than 20,000N, and in order to prevent working temperature from affecting precision of processing when the motor is working, design of loading a cooling device to control temperature is also applied.
- C. Servo driver:
With the arrival of Industry 4.0, it means that the demand for Industry 3.0 will greatly increase, and Industry 3.0 mainly focuses on the capabilities of industrial automation. Therefore, the domestic equipment manufacturers' demand for localized components has increased rapidly. In the international market, CHIEFTEK PRECISION has always been a key component manufacturer of precision machinery. For example, all linear guide, linear motors, linear motor modules, motor servo drivers, and even industrial robots are developed and manufactured by ourselves.
In terms of drive control technology, for linear motor drivers, almost there are no domestically developed products, instead, there are mostly equipped with European and American systems, resulting in a significant reduction in price competitiveness and limited autonomous technology. From practical experience, when using the marketing strategy with European drivers, it is found that the current linear motor market development is usually sold as a completed system. The biggest advantage of this strategy is that customers can maintain a fixed technical contact window, but it is also easy to have restricted price due to closed technology just like Japanese brands, which reduces the competitiveness. In response to this situation, CHIEFTEK PRECISION will use years of experience in electromechanical integration to develop a linear motor driver that truly meets market needs. It can be compatible with not only linear motor modules manufactured by CHIEFTEK PRECISION, but also other linear motors, linear guide and optical scale on the market. With using current selling channels, we has established domestic independent brand of drivers.
In the aspect of machinery communication, to adopt information exchanging capability emphasized by Industry 4.0 trend, 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 realtime control function. In view of this, CHIEFTEK PRECISION will not only take the driver based on EtherCAT communication as a slave but in the future, we will develop the motion controller with master identity vertically.

D. Driver software function update:
-
Linear motor has characteristics of high speed and high precision, the demand for auxiliary software function of linear motor (such as friction compensation, interference filter) is increased with more and more users. Shorten the response time has become the one of main development technique for multi-axis 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. Meanwhile, 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, Twoaxis on-board Driver's decoupling function for Gantry Stage is also our development project in response to market demand.

E. Sensor:
Sensor is like the nerve which makes machine can sense outside and be 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 directly decide whether the data is correct or not; the reliability, resolution and anti-dirt of sensor is the key index of quality. Now CHIEFTEK PRECISION has already developed and mass-produced magnetic position sensing component with resolution up to 0.5���In the future, will use the micro mechanic and electronic design to extend application on products such as acceleration ruler, force ruler and sensor-related. Focus of the developing directions is as follows:
-
a. Higher responding.
-
b. Can filter outside noise.
-
c. Origin signal is stable (no noise from its own).
-
F. DD Motor:
With increasing assembling processing demands of big and unusual shaped components, direct drive rotated component, which is necessary for Axis A and C, is a critical component. CHIEFTEK PRECISION will develop frameless DD motor with 70-300mm of its outer diameter. When users have space and price considerations, they will be able to purchase products with only rotor stators. Of course, depending on needs for different loads, speeds and accuracy, we can also customize most suitable drive rotating stage for each customer. Designed for light loads (e.g. wafer equipment) and high precision. In the future, CHIEFTEK PRECISION will develop a full range of frameless and framed DD motors, which can be mainly divided into multi-axis articulated robots, machine tools, and automation industries; its main technical threshold is that it can achieve motor efficiency in a limited space with the highest torque and maximum torque, and providing high-speed DD motors according to customer requirements to become a professional manufacturer of rotary direct-drive motors.
- G. Communication Transmission Device:
Currently, the automation industry still depends on the higher-level PLCs of famous foreign manufacturers. When the upper-level communication protocol used to transmit commands is not disclosed, users will be forced to use the entire closed
121
system, that the expansion of system, cost and technology reliability are all limited. Therefore, there are signal conversion devices on the market, which translate the original copper communication protocol into a public communication protocol, which enable devices to exchange information flexibly.
-
H. PLC and Controller:
- With the increasing level and wild demands of industrial automation and intelligence, automation equipment is gradually moving towards a multi-process integrated system, so small hardware PLCs that use DSP or FPGA as the computing core are no longer sufficient for more and more complex systems. Most of the current solutions will use industrial computers (IPC) as the main body to integrate and process various module functions, such as HMI, visual recognition, PLC, motion control, etc., and then cooperate with specific communication protocols to integrate with PLC and other various devices To perform the operation and data processing of each device, in this intermediate process, it also began to evolve from a stand-alone PLC to a control platform that can connect various device integration capabilities to achieve automation of the entire plant; Software modularization is built on the control platform of industrial computers, which has become the trend of multi-process integration of whole-plant automation. -
(2) Competition
- 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 and module
-
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. In terms of modules, in addition to standard products, we also provide single-axis, XY modules, open-framed platforms and gantry systems according to different needs from customers. We can also provide different dustproof options, which can reach 10m at the longest of travel, 10 m/s of speed and accuracy of 0.3 μm in terms of specifications.
-
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
122
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 cost control on products. As for specification, in order to deal with workload and size range of robot arms on the market, we will continue developing DD motor with 30mm at the smallest of its outer diameter, cooperating with torque output from harmonic reduction gear which makes more options for robot arms.
- 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 precision 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
PLC software is a new control method based on PC based control. Users only need to confirm the computer's operating system and CPU to turn the computer into a controller with PLC functions. In order to respond to market demand and implement the investment philosophy rooted in Taiwan, CHIEFTEK PRECISION will continue to invest in talents in related fields to develop software PLC derivative products, such as: IO modules, communication modules, power modules ... etc. Now we have formally transformed into a completely independent research and development system integrator, that we no longer rely on foreign technology. The integrity of products and technical thresholds can be improved, and several benefits brought by its added value will enable CHIEFTEK PRECISION and overall technology industry in Taiwan to be more competitive ��
(2) Technology and research and development situation
- Technological level and research and development of the operated business As a professional manufacturer of linear motion mechanical and electronic components, CHIEF PRECISION has obtained several invention patents for its products of Taiwan, Mainland China, Germany, the United States and Japan. The linear guide products have complete size, from size 3(2W) to size 55, all in the range of mass production. Among them, the ball type products are included. Now CHIEF PRECISION is carrying on the mass production of roller type products, ultra-
123
long, ultra-short, wide type products step by step. The products produced take the realization of best function in the same industry as the goal. In the aspect of load capacity, high-speed operation, low-noise design, self-lubrication design, retaining chain design and miniaturization design, CHIEF PRECISION has also reached the above goals.
In terms of linear motor components, we will continue to develop more specifications to directly replace the competitor market as the target. In addition, we have also begun to develop water-cooled iron core linear motors to maximize the thrust of the motor. In terms of industrial robots, our research and development types include single-axis, double-axis, orthogonal platform, open frame and Gantry Stage systems with speeds up to 10 m/s, acceleration of 10 G, reproducibility of less than 0.3 �m, and movable stroke even up to 8 meters.
As for the DD motor, we aim at the humanoid articulated robot. In addition to developing the DD motor used in the large-diameter machine tool, we have also designed a DD motor with an outer diameter of 30 mm or less, which is very suitable for driving the palm joint motor.
In the aspect of controller, the goal design is multi-axis controlling to realize real-time control through EtherCAT. In the first step, the automation industry is settled as the major target market and provide humanized user UI. Helps customers’ complete rapid and precision working items with smooth data transmission, high-level operating path plan.

While in the direct drive system, the common component DD motor in the rotational motion is also one of the development key products.
(F) DD motor
130
- 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 energysaving 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.
- e. Completed Specification:
The target specification is from 30 mm to 210 mm in outer diameter. Each outer diameter has different thickness options, allowing users to choose the DD motor that is most suitable for their mechanism under the same rated torque output, and also for future robotic arms and AGVs as well as drones of market demand, and the design uses 48 Vdc as the main driving power supply.
- (G) Magnetic encoder
High resolution and high precision: The magnetic encoders CHIEFTEK PRECISION developed which have been able to achieve the resolution up to �����m, and achieve the precision up to 10 �m/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,
131
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.

(2) Unfavorable Factors and Countermeasures
-
A. Difficulty in talent acquisition and cultivation
- Industry 4.0 need more development talent, the trend of manpower towards simplized and high quality. This cause difficulty in talent acquisition, as well as the government policy such as “one fixed day off and flexible rest day” increased the cost of human resource.
Countermeasures:
-
(A) Cpc’s main technology is developed on its own, thus the internal training mechanism shall be independent; in the handling principle of divided management, clear rights and liabilities, distinct right and wrong, encouraging innovations, and continuing improvements.
-
(B) With the excellent brand image of the Company, to attract more talents to join the Company.
-
(C) It should promote the welfare system of the Company, to attract and retain the talents.
-
(D) Improve level of automation to lower operation by human.
-
B. Due to the influence by the trade war between the US and China, many countries around the world including China do not have expected economic growth; Moreover, with severe situation caused by COVID-19, global economic activities and production pace are disturbed.
Contingency plan:
- (A) Continue to collect and pay close attention to the possible impact of the epidemic on various industries, and study corresponding solutions.
- (B) Continue to develop smart manufacturing application platform solutions, expand automation and intelligent production lines and the cooperation of industry, academy and research circles ��

- (2) Linear motor
The machinery equipment with output capacity demand are the main selling market of linear motor. Taking the ironless linear motor as example, it has no pause power and has light forcer, which is particularly suitable for the application in the semiconductor industry, panel industry, biochemical technology, laser cutting and automation industry. While the ironcore linear motor with high thrust and low stator cost is suitable for the application in the automated storage, solar energy industry, laser industry, panel industry, and semiconductor carrier and automation industry.
- (3) Driver and linear motor module
At present, the major linear motor goes with the driver in the drive method of one to one, thus the occasion to use the linear motor is also the market of driver and linear motor, which is just different in the using habit and form of the client.
- (4) DD motor
It is mainly divided into frameless (DR) and framed (RP) series. The difference between these two types is that the RP series doesn’t only have rotator and stator, but also includes bearing, encoder and other processing parts. The entire product is modularized when being provided for user. The market demand of DR series is that the customer can purchase the stator for using when there are special restriction on cost or space, such as the manufacturer of rotation motor and robotic arm. On the other hand, the RP series allows the user to fix the load on the rotating table directly, which is for the high-speed and high-precision application. Currently, the main application scenarios include the panel industry, automation device, biomedical robot, machine tool industry and semi-conductor industry.

| Please explain reasons for changes in financial ratios over the last 2 fiscal years: (If the increases or decreases is less than 20%, no analysis is required) 1. Accounts receivable turnover, stock turnover, real estate, plant and equipment turnover, and total asset turnover were decreased, while average collection days, average days in sales was increased due to the trade war between the US and China, making obvious drop in revenues and profits result in the consequences. 2. Return on assets, return on stockholders' equity, pre-tax income to paid-in capital, net profit ratio, earnings per share and cash flow ratio were decreased due to the decrease of sales amount and volumes, decreasingcapacityutilization ratio,which resulted in decrease ofprofits. As for the increase of interest |
149
coverage ratio, it is because phase 2 construction of Tree Valley is actively under execution, which capitalizes the interest in 2019.
-
The increase of operation leverage resulted from the increase of fixed cost ratio, which was due to the decrease of revenues as well as capacity utilization.
-
The decrease of cash reinvestment ratio resulted from the increases of real estate, plants and equipment, which was due to the phase 2 construction of Tree Valley.
1. Consolidated Financial Analysis
Note 1 � The financial data of 2015, 2016, 2017, 2018 and 2019 had been audited by the CPA.
Note 2 � The financial data as of March 31, 2020 had been audited by the CPA.
Note 3: Relevant operation capacity and profitability related financial ratio is calculated by the annual figure.
Note 4: Calculation formulas are as below:
-
Financial structure
-
(1) Ratio of liability to asset = total liability / total asset.
(2) Ratio of long-term capital to real estate, plant and equipment = (total equity + non-current liability)
/ 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.
(2) Average collection days = 365 / accounts payable turnover ratio.
(3) Inventory turnover ratio = sales cost / average inventory.
(4) Accounts payable (including accounts payable and notes payable caused by business) turnover ratio = sales cost / balance of average accounts payable (including accounts payable and notes payable caused by business).
(5) Average days in sale = 365 / inventory turnover ratio.
(6) Real estate, plant and equipment turnover ratio=net sales/ net amount of average real estate, plant and equipment.
(7) Total assets turnover ratio = net sales / average total assets.
- Profitability
(1) Return on assets = (after-tax profit and loss + interest expense × (1 – tax rate) ) / average total assets.
(2) Return on equity = after-tax profit and loss / average total equity.
(3) Net profit ratio = after-tax profit and loss / net sales.
(4) Earnings per share = (equity attributable to shareholders of parent company – preference dividend) / weighted average issued share number. (Note 5)
- Cash flow
(1) Cash flow ratio = net cash flow of operating activity / current liability.
(2) Net cash flow adequacy ratio = net cash flow of operating activity in recent five years / recent five years (capital expenditure + inventory increase + cash dividend).
(3) Cash reinvestment ratio = (net cash flow of operating activity –cash dividend) / (gross amount of real estate, plant and equipment + long-term investment + other non-current asset + working capital). (Note 6)
- Leverage:
(1) Operating leverage = (net operating revenue–changed operating costs and expense) /operating profit. (Note 7)
(2) Financial leverage = operating profit / (operating profit – interest expense).
-
Note 5: Calculation formula of above earnings per share shall pay attention to following items when measuring:
-
Subject to weighted average common share number, not based on issued share numbers in the end of the year.
-
If there is increment of cash or treasury stock transaction, it shall consider the circulation period, and calculate the weighted average share number.
-
If there is surplus transferred to increment or capital reserve transferred to investment, when calculating the earnings per share of the previous year and half year, it shall trace and adjust according to increment proportion, without any consideration of issuing period of the increment.
-
If the special stock is the inconvertible accumulative special stock, its dividend of that year (no matter
150
issued or not) shall be deducted from the profit (loss) for the year, or increase the after-tax net loss. If the special stock is non-cumulative type, when there is after-tax dispute, the special stock dividend shall be deducted from the profit (loss) for the year; if it is loss, it shall not be adjusted.
Note 6: Cash flow analysis shall pay special attention to the following items when measuring:
-
Net cash flow of operating activity refers to net cash inflow of operating activity in cash flow statement.
-
Capital expenditure refers to the cash outflow of annual capital investment.
-
Inventory increment shall only be accounted when the ending balance is greater than beginning balance, and if the inventory decreases in the end of the year, it shall be calculated as zero.
-
Cash dividends include the cash dividend of common stock and special stock.
-
Real estate, plant and equipment gross refer to the sum of real estate, plant and equipment before deducting the accumulated depreciation.
-
Note 7: Issuer shall divide the operating costs and operating expenses into the fixed and changeable one; if estimation or subjective judgment is involved, it shall pay attention to the rationality and maintain the consistency.
-
Note 8: If the company share has no denomination or the denomination per share is not NT$ $ 10, the above ratio calculation related to paid-in capital shall be changed to calculate the ratio of equity attributable to shareholders of parent company of balance sheet.

-
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.

(4)Earnings per share = (net profit after tax - preference dividend) /weighted average issued shares.
152
-
Cash flow

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.

- (II) The expected sales volume and its basis, the possible impact on the company's future financial business and the corresponding plan:
Due to the epidemic situation and Industry 4.0 driving automation and intellectual equipment, the demand for linear guide is increasing and should allow the Company to scale its business scale to a new level; in terms of financial status, the Company has signed a 7- year joint credit granting contract with eleven banks including Mega International Commercial Bank, which can be used for the best backing for the phase 2 construction of plants in Tree Valley, procurement of machines and equipment and operation capital. Under circumstance of poor prosperity, we still have eleven banks that are willing to oversubscribe and sign a long-term financing contract, meaning these banks have great confidence on operation management and future development of CHIEFTEK PRECISION. We also would like to take this opportunity to retrieve long-term and stable sources of capital to deal with paid-in capital and demands on operation capital, which allows the Company to focus on pursuing revenues and high profits to feedback the public.

�. Analysis of risk managemen
��� Effects of Changes in Interest Rates, Foreign Exchange Rates and Inflation on Corporate Finance, and Future Response Measures:
- Interest Rates:
The Company’s 2019 and 2018 annual interest payment is NT$14,901 thousand and NT$16,521 thousand respectively, accounting for 1.15% and 0.79% of Net Operating Revenue respectively.
-
(1) The interest expense in fiscal year 2019 decreased by NT$ 1,621 thousand compared with fiscal year 2018, but as the turnover in fiscal year 2019 decreased compared with fiscal year 2018, the ratio of interest expense to net revenue increased by 0.36%.
-
(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.

The Company’s 2019 net loss on currency exchange is NT$17,511 thousand and 2018 net loss on currency exchange is NT$21,498 thousand, accounting for (1.35%) and (1.03%) of net operating revenue respectively, mainly due to the revenue in 2019 has decreased significantly and also the appreciation of NTD, comparing to 2018, so the exchange loss 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.
