Item 7.01. Regulation FD Disclosure.
On January 10, 2022, Tongmei’s formal application to list its shares in an initial public offering (the “IPO”) on the Shanghai Stock Exchange’s Sci-Tech innovAtion boaRd (the “STAR Market”) was accepted for review by the Shanghai Stock Exchange. On July 12, 2022, the Shanghai Stock Exchange approved Tongmei’s IPO application. On August 1, 2022, Tongmei’s revised IPO application was accepted for review by the China Securities Regulatory Commission (the “CSRC”). A copy of the revised preliminary information document (the “PID”) that was submitted by Tongmei in connection with the proposed STAR Market listing and IPO is furnished as Exhibit 99.1 to this report. Copies of the Supplementary Offering Sponsorship Letter, Supplementary Listing Sponsorship Letter, Supplementary Audit Inquiry Letter on Application for IPO and Supplementary Legal Opinion, which are exhibits to the PID, are being furnished as Exhibits 99.2 to 99.5 to this report.
The information in this report, including Exhibits 99.1 to 99.5, is being furnished and shall not be deemed filed for purposes of Section 18 of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), nor will it be incorporated by reference in any filing under the Securities Act of 1933, amended (the “Securities Act”), or the Exchange Act, except as expressly set forth by specific reference in such filing.
The STAR Market IPO remains subject to review and approval by the CSRC and other authorities. The process of going public on the STAR Market includes several periods of review and, therefore, is a lengthy process. There can be no assurances that the proposed STAR Market listing and IPO will ultimately be approved by the CSRC and other authorities and completed.
The Tongmei shares referred to in the PID and this report have not been, and will not be, registered under the Securities Act or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold in the United States absent registration under the Securities Act or an applicable exemption from the registration requirements of the Securities Act and applicable state securities laws. This report is neither an offer to sell nor a solicitation of an offer to buy, nor shall there be any offer, solicitation or sale of these shares in any jurisdiction in which such offer, solicitation or sale would be unlawful.

Significant Matters
We hereby advise the investors to carefully read this Prospectus in its entirety and pay special attention to the significant matters set out below, before making an investment decision.
**I.**Our controlling shareholder, AXT, is a company listed on the NASDAQ
Our controlling shareholder, AXT, was listed on the NASDAQ in May 1998. AXT does not conduct any business other than research, development, production and sale of InP substrates, GaAs substrates, germanium substrates, PBN and other high-purity materials through Beijing Tongmei. Therefore, through this Offering, AXT, a company listed on the NASDAQ, will spin off its major assets and all businesses and list the same on the STAR Market.
AXT’s shares are held dispersedly, and it has no actual controller, therefore the Company has no actual controller. As of March 31, 2022, AXT has issued a total of 42,951,900 ordinary shares, and all of the top five shareholders holding ordinary shares in AXT are foreign investors and the voting rights held by each of them are less than 10%. In addition, as of March 31, 2022, the Chairman of the Company, MORRIS SHEN-SHIH YOUNG, as a founder of AXT, holds 3.8133% of the voting rights of AXT’s ordinary shares directly or through trust, whose shareholding percentage in AXT is relatively low.
According to the legal opinion in respect of AXT issued by the foreign attorney, this Offering application has been approved and authorized by the board of directors of AXT. This Offering by Beijing Tongmei has been disclosed by AXT in the relevant document submitted to the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”), and does not require any applicable authorization, consent, approval or action of, notice to, or filing or completion of other procedures with, any government or regulatory authority of the State of Delaware having jurisdiction over AXT, the NASDAQ or the SEC.
**II.**During the reporting period, prices of products sold by the Company to the controlling shareholder AXT were different from those of products sold by AXT to end customers
As the Issuer’s controlling shareholder, AXT has always been subject to the uniform arrangement at the group level and is responsible for the sales of semiconductor substrate materials in overseas markets. On the whole, the sales price of compound semiconductor substrates sold by the Company to AXT was determined based on the Issuer’s production cost plus a certain profit margin, and the latter is related to the positions and roles of the Company and AXT in the transaction chain. On the basis of the overall pricing policy, for the pricing policy for different types of substrate materials, the impact of the degree of competition in the market, the status of the Company’s products in the industry and other factors were taken into account.
1-1-3
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
During the reporting period, prices of semiconductor substrate materials sold by the Company to the controlling shareholder AXT were different from those of semiconductor substrate materials sold by AXT to end customers. The specific differences are as follows:
Unit: RMB yuan/piece
| Item | Aggregation of 2019-2021 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Price of products sold to AXT | Price of products sold by AXT to other parties | Difference | |
| GaAs substrate | 391.18 | 377.11 | 3.73% | |
| InP substrate | 483.15 | 1,275.32 | -62.12% | |
| Germanium substrate | 428.07 | 430.54 | -0.57% |
The difference between the prices of GaAs substrates and germanium substrates sold by the Company to AXT and those of the same products sold to other parties was relatively small. The difference was mainly due to different specifications of the products sold and different exchange rates caused by difference time of sale. The price of InP substrates sold by the Company to AXT was lower than those of the same products sold by AXT to final customers, mainly because at the early period of the reporting period, AXT made great contributions to the market development, customer maintenance and application R&D of InP substrates, for which AXT also assumed higher costs.
The business transaction mode and price between the Company and AXT are determined by the organizational structure of AXT and the long-term business growth model. AXT, incorporated in California, the US in December 1986, established its complete R&D and production systems initially, and directly explored its own market. In 1998, AXT decided to explore business in China and gradually transferred its production and R&D fully to China, and established Beijing Tongmei. Subsequently, AXT shut down its production in the US, and only maintained overseas sales, purchase and partial application R&D business. On the one hand, the Company sold products to AXT on a cost-plus basis, limiting the sales price offered to AXT; on the other hand, AXT earned returns from sales of the products from the Company to overseas customers, and such returns were used for AXT’s normal operation, application R&D. AXT-Tongmei completed the business and customer transfer with AXT, and undertook AXT’s overseas sales, purchase, and application R&D. AXT ceased to conduct sales business after performing the sales contracts signed prior to March 2021.
On November 29, 2021 and March 15, 2022, the Company held the 7^th^ and 11^th^ meetings of the first board of directors respectively, to review related-party transactions during the reporting period, which were reviewed and approved by the general meeting; independent directors expressed clear opinions on the legitimacy of the deliberation procedures performed for related-party transactions and the reasonableness of transaction prices during the reporting period.
In addition, the tax authorities with jurisdiction over the Company and its domestic subsidiaries have issued the “Compliance Certificate” or “Tax-related Information Inquiry Result Notification”, which proves that during the reporting period, the Company made declarations and paid taxes in accordance with relevant tax laws, regulations and normative documents, and no administrative penalties due to tax arrears or tax violations were found.
1-1-4
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
To sum up, the Company started to sell products to overseas customers through AXT-Tongmei from March 2021 on. After AXT fulfilled the sales contract signed before March 2021, it no longer carried out the sales business, and the related-party sales between the Company and AXT were thus terminated thoroughly. During the reporting period, the difference between the Company’s sales price to AXT and AXT’s sales price to end customers is reasonable. There was no benefit transfer in the transactions between the Company and AXT, and there was no adjustment to the Issuer’s profits through the above related-party transactions, without any material adverse effects on the Company.
**III.**The switch of overseas sales business led to an increase in the Company’s revenues in 2021
Before March 2021, the Company carried out overseas sales mainly through AXT, i.e. the Company sold products to AXT, and AXT sold such products to end customers according to its sales orders. From March 2021, AXT switched its overseas semiconductor substrate material sales business and customers to the AXT Tongmei, a subsidiary of the Company. Due to the difference between the price of the semiconductor substrate materials sold by the Company to AXT and the price of the semiconductor substrate materials sold by AXT-Tongmei to end customers, the switch of overseas sales business also led to an increase in the Company’s revenues in 2021.
The switch of overseas sales business has solved the problem of horizontal competition between the Company and the controlling shareholder, integrated the business resources of the controlling shareholder, and is beneficial to the sustainable development of the Company. In 2021, the Company completed the switch of overseas semiconductor substrate sales business. The Company sold products to overseas customers through AXT-Tongmei. After AXT fulfilled the sales contract signed before March 2021, it no longer carried out the sales business, and the related-party sales between the Company and AXT were thus terminated thoroughly. With the rapid growth in demand in the downstream market, especially the domestic market, the Company’s business scale has expanded steadily, and it is expected that the operating performance from January to June 2022 will maintain a year-on-year growth trend.
**IV.**We hereby advise the investors to pay special attention to the risk factors described below
**(I)**We and our controlling shareholder AXT are listed on the STAR Market and the NASDAQ respectively
After the completion of this Offering of A-shares, we and our controlling shareholder AXT will be listed on the STAR Market and the NASDAQ respectively, which means that we and AXT need to comply with the laws and rules and listing-related regulatory requirements of both U.S.A. and China, and disclose the information required to be publicly disclosed according to law concurrently in U.S.A. and China.
Due to the differences between U.S.A. and China in the applicable laws, rules and regulatory philosophies, we and AXT are subject to different accounting standards and different regulatory requirements, including different requirements for certain accounting treatment and disclosure of financial information. In addition, due to the differences between U.S.A. and China in the requirements of securities regulatory authorities for information disclosure by the listed companies, language, culture and expression habits, composition and investment philosophies of investors, and actual situations of capital market, our stock price on the STAR Market may be different from the stock price of AXT on the NASDAQ. Such differences and the fluctuations in the stock price of AXT on the NASDA may affect our stock price on the STAR Market.
On December 18, 2020, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act officially became a law in the United States. The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act requires that, from 2021, if the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter referred to as the “U.S. SEC”) determines that a foreign company listed 1-1-5
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
in the United States has engaged a foreign (in relation to the United States, the same below) auditor which cannot be inspected by the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (hereinafter referred to as the “PCAOB”) for three consecutive years, then the U.S. SEC will prohibit its securities registered in the United States from being traded on any U.S. national stock exchange (such as the NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange) or over-the-counter.
If the annual audit report of a company listed in the U.S. is issued by a foreign accounting firm, and the PCAOB is unable to conduct or fully conduct an inspection or investigation on such accounting firm due to the position of such foreign government, the SEC will identify such listed company and include it in the identified issuer list, that is, the list of pre-delisted companies. If a listed company is included in the list of pre-delisted companies for three consecutive years, the SEC will prohibit such company from trading its shares in any U.S. securities market.
As of the signing date of this Prospectus, AXT has not been included in the provisional list of delistings by the PCAOB.
AXT has disclosed the risk of being included in the provisional list of delistings by the PCAOB in the Section “Risk Factors” of its 2021 Annual Report (FORM 10-K). Based on the above risk disclosure, AXT considers that it cannot rule out the possibility of being included in the provisional list of delistings in the future.
| (II) | Risk of integration and management of subsidiaries |
|---|
During the reporting period, we acquired Chaoyang Tongmei, Baoding Tongmei, Chaoyang Jinmei, Nanjing Jinmei, Beijing Boyu, AXT-Tongmei and other companies through business combination involving entities under common control. Such companies are mainly engaged in the research, development, production and sale of GaAs substrates, PBN materials and other high-purity materials, and the overseas procurement and overseas sales of semiconductor substrate materials mainly in the US. After acquisition of such companies, we have further integrated their operation, management, R&D and other activities. By now, such entities have been in smooth operation for over 12 months. However, if we fail to effectively integrate and manage such controlled subsidiaries, our operations in the future may be affected.
**(III)**Risk of reliance on the suppliers of certain critical raw materials and fluctuations in the raw material prices
The main raw materials required by us in production include gallium, germanium ingot, quartz, high-purity arsenic, indium phosphide polycrystalline and boron trichloride. The costs of raw materials constitute a large proportion in our production costs, and the fluctuations in the raw material prices could affect our results of operation. We generally place orders to purchase such main raw materials. As the above raw materials are not bulk commodities and there are few suppliers in the market, the Company relies on some key raw material suppliers to a certain extent, and the relevant suppliers may be unable to guarantee the long-term and stable supply of the relevant raw materials to us, which has affected our production and operation, and cause us to be unable to deliver products on schedule. In addition, delay in providing the raw materials by the suppliers may result in an increase in our production costs, delay in production or reduction of output, which may, in turn, have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operation. 1-1-6

| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
**(IV)**The relocation of the factory resulted in risks in fluctuation of the gross profit margin of the products and the failure to meet the expected capacity with the new production line
In 2019, the Company started to relocate the GaAs production line from Beijing to Chaoyang, Liaoning and Baoding, Hebei, and re-hired the production staff. Due to the debugging of the production line and the low proficiency of the production staff, there were a large quantity of raw materials consumed and a low yield rate of GaAs substrates, and the original customer needed to re-verify the new production lines (to be completed around the first half of 2019). As a result, the operating costs were high, leading to large fluctuations in the gross profit margin of the Company’s GaAs substrates during the reporting period. According to simulation calculation, the increase in yield rate after the relocation of the production lines, the change in remunerations for the staff, the reduction in water and electricity costs, the redistribution of the production staff had an impact on the gross profit margin of GaAs substrates in 2020 and 2021 respectively, by 3.03% and 29.72%.
After the relocation of the GaAs production line, the InP substrates and germanium substrates need to assume a larger part of depreciation of fixed assets. Meanwhile, the Company has also reassigned the original GaAs substrate workshop staff in Beijing to InP substrate and germanium substrate workshops, and the idle production capacity of GaAs substrates has not been fully converted into the production capacity of InP substrate and germanium substrates, resulting in fluctuations in the gross profit margin of the Company's InP substrate and germanium substrate products to a certain extent.
The Company’s production lines in Chaoyang, Liaoning and Baoding, Hebei have improved the original production processes and enhanced the intelligence level. Although the foregoing production lines have been officially put into production, it will still take some time to adjust the new production line equipment and enhance the operating proficiency of the production staff. Thus, the Company’s production lines in Chaoyang, Liaoning and Baoding, Hebei are at the risk of not being able to achieve the design capacity stably, which may also result in fluctuations in the Company’s product gross profit margin to a certain extent.
**(V)**Operating risk in relation to germanium substrates
Germanium substrates are now mainly used in the field of space satellite solar energy. Before 2014, the world’s major companies with mass production capacity for germanium substrates were the Issuer and Umicore. As AXT fully relocated its germanium substrate production base to China, the Company’s germanium substrate products gradually withdrew from the aerospace market of U.S. Thus, Umicore now has a higher global market share than the Company in terms of germanium substrates.
Due to the continuous growth of the global aerospace field and the commercial satellite market, Yunnan Germanium and other domestic germanium material upstream manufacturers have also started to enter the downstream germanium substrate market since 2014. At present, the Company and Yunnan Germanium are the two major germanium substrate manufacturers in the domestic market. According to the 2021 annual report of Yunnan Germanium, in 2021, it produced 282,800 pieces of photovoltaic-grade germanium products (converted to 4 inches), and expanded its production capacity by 200,000 pieces of 6-inch germanium substrates. With the growth of Yunnan Germanium’s output and sales of germanium substrates, there was a fierce competition in the price of germanium substrates between the Company and Yunnan Germanium. In 2021, the average unit price of germanium substrates of the Company in the domestic market dropped from RMB289.04/piece to RMB226.23/piece, a decline of 7.89%. The entry of Yunnan Germanium and other domestic competitors has resulted in intensified competition in the germanium substrate market. If the Company is unable to maintain a competitive advantage in the production of the existing products and the development of new products, there is a risk that the Company’s share in the germanium substrate market will be reduced, the revenue or gross profit of the Company generated therefrom may be further decreased. 1-1-7

|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
**(VI)**Risk of intensification of international trade disputes
Since 2018, the trade disputes between the U.S.A. and China have been growing in intensity. Between 2018 and 2020, the US government imposed additional tariffs on certain products imported from China, while the Chinese government also imposed additional tariffs on certain products imported from the U.S.A. In the future, the US government and the Chinese government may continue to impose additional tariffs on and other trade barriers against certain products imported from each other.
The continuous intensification of US-China trade disputes will have far-reaching adverse influence on the global semiconductor industry. If the Chinese government imposes additional tariffs on the raw materials purchased by us from U.S.A. or the US government imposes additional tariffs on the products sold by us to U.S.A., our production costs will increase and product prices will lose competitive advantage, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating revenues, results of operation and financial condition.
In addition, given the fact that part of the Company’s raw materials such as high-purity arsenic and indium phosphide polycrystalline and equipment such as single crystal furnaces are imported, the export of relevant raw materials and equipment may be restricted due to changes in the international trade policies of the producing countries, or the purchase prices of the Company may increase significantly due to changes in tariffs, resulting certain effects on the Company’s profitability and production and operation to some extent.
**(VII)**Risk arising from changes in industry regulatory policies
We mainly operate in China, so we need to comply with the laws and regulations in China relating to work safety, environmental protection and use of hazardous chemicals, among others, in our production and operation. In 2003, Gallium is included in the Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals, in 2015, the State Administration of Work Safety (“SAWS”) included GaAs in the list of hazardous chemicals. The increasingly strict industry regulatory policies require us to enhance production management, to ensure our production and operations comply with the applicable laws and regulations. If we and our subsidiaries fail to comply with the applicable laws and regulations, we may be required to assume material liabilities in connection with disposal of hazardous wastes, personal injuries or administrative penalties, or suspend certain business, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
**(VIII)**Risks related to technological upgrading
In the development of semiconductor materials, along with the breakthrough in the technology of silicon-based materials, GaAs substrates might be replaced by SOI (silicon on insulator) wafers in RF devices and other fields of application. SOI wafers have certain performance advantages over silicon substrates. Though the RF devices produced using SOI wafers are inferior to the products using GaAs substrates in terms of power consumption, radiation and transmission speed, their cost is lower than that of GaAs substrates. Thus, SOI wafers have replaced GaAs substrates in smart phones and other fields of application. If SOI wafers and other new-type substrate products become more cost effective and receive wide recognition on the market, or are used in more application scenarios, the scope of application of III-V compound semiconductor substrates will be reduced, which may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operation.
1-1-8

|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
**(IX)**Risks related to market competition
The industry in which we operate have a relatively high market concentration, and our III-V compound semiconductor substrate and germanium substrate products directly compete with the products of Sumitomo, JX Nippon, Freiberger, Umicore and other advanced international companies that have strong R&D capabilities, know-how, distribution channels and market reputations, and may develop more advanced technologies and launch more competitive products. In addition, such competitors own core technologies similar to the VGF technology owned by us.
Along with the continuous growth of the semiconductor terminal application market in China, the market of compound semiconductor materials develops rapidly, and a lot of new III-V compound semiconductor material projects have been built, which make us face competitions from both advanced international companies and new players in China and may result in a decrease in our product prices. If we are unable to effectively cope with such competitions, our operating revenues, results of operation and financial condition may be affected adversely.
**(X)**Risk of disclosure of core technologies
Through years of technology research and development and accumulation, we now own series of proprietary intellectual properties and know-how. Though we attach great importance to the protection of core technologies, our intellectual properties and know-how may be disclosed due to failure of our or our suppliers’ network security systems to prevent unauthorized accesses and complicated web attacks, or improper handling of sensitive data by our employees or suppliers or otherwise, which may seriously damage our reputation and competitiveness, and in turn have an adverse effect on our business development and results of operation.
**V.**Business situation from the date of audited financial report till the date of this Prospectus
**(I)**Overall business situation
The date of our audited financial report is December 31, 2021. From the date of audited financial report till the date of this Prospectus, our business has run well, our mode of business, volume and prices of main raw materials purchased, revenues, selling prices of products, and composition of customers and suppliers have not undergone any material change, and our overall business environment has not undergone any material adverse change.
**(II)**Main financial information and operating status after the audit base date of financial reports

| (II) | Competitive position |
|---|
At present, we and our main competitors, Sumitomo, JX Nippon and Freiberger, are tier 1 companies in the global III-V compound semiconductor material industry. Along with the shift of the semiconductor industry chain to China and increasing maturity of 5G communication, data center, new-generation display and other downstream industries, we are expected to grasp the development opportunities on the emerging market during the new industry cycle, and grow into a global leading company in the field of III-V compound semiconductor substrate materials.
Our competitive position is reflected in the following aspects:
In terms of market share, according to Yole, our market share in the global InP substrate market was 36%, ranked No.2 in the world, in 2020; and our market share in the global GaAs substrate market was 13%, ranked No.4 in the world, in 2019.
In terms of product performance, our semiconductor substrate products demonstrate excellent performance in dislocation density, resistivity uniformity, flatness and surface granularity, among others, and can satisfy the requirements of 5G RF power amplifiers, Mini LEDs, Micro LEDs, wearable sensors, vehicle-mounted lidars, biometric lasers and other high-end markets for the performance of semiconductor substrate materials. We are 1-1-31
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
one of the few companies in the world whose products can be used on high-end III-V compound semiconductor substrates.
In terms of product size, we are one of the few companies in the world that master the production technology of 8-inch GaAs substrates and 6-inch InP substrates. As 5G communication, new-generation display and other fields of downstream application enter a new investment cycle, the newly built production lines of downstream customers are very likely to shift to large sizes. Therefore, the companies capable to supply large-sized III-V compound semiconductor substrates are expected to have first-mover advantages in the new industry cycle.
In terms of supply chain, we have basically built a complete supply chain for III-V compound semiconductor substrates, which help us ensure more reliable supply of all critical raw materials, effectively control time of production and delivery, and stabilize our production costs. In the context that we are increasing our production capacity, we have a remarkable advantage in supply chain.
**V.**Technological advancement, commercialization of technologies developed and future development strategies of the Issuer
After years of continuous research, development and production practice, we have accumulated strong technologies and processes. We have mastered synthesis of GaAs poly-crystals, VGF growth of semi-insulator GaAs single crystals and carbon doping control, VGF growth of semiconductor GaAs single crystals and uniform doping control, VGF growth of high-quality germanium single crystals and doping control, VGF growth of high-quality InP single crystals and doping control, partial crystallization at longitudinal temperature gradients, chemical vapor deposition of PBN and other core technologies, and has also formed a complete and independently controllable system of core technologies related to III-V compound semiconductor materials.
As of June 30, 2022, we own 61 patents for invention. While applying for intellectual property rights at home and abroad, according to the different types of core technologies, we keep our formula and process-related know-how in strict confidence, and prevent the disclosure of know-how due to publication of patents. We have been named as a specialized, refinement, characteristic and novelty small and medium-sized enterprise, national post-doctoral research center, Beijing scientific research and development institution and one of the 13^th^ group of municipal enterprise technology centers of Beijing, and have got other qualifications and awards.
Our development goal is to grow into a global leading company in the field of III-V compound semiconductor substrate materials. In order to achieve such development goal, we have developed clear development strategies: first, to increase the production capacity for the existing products, in the context of continuous growth of the market, our production capacity is lower than our main competitors, which put us in an adverse competitive position, so we urgently need to improve our supply capability; second, to accelerate the development of production capacity for large-sized substrate products, as 5G communication, new-generation display and other fields of downstream application enter a new investment cycle, the newly built production lines of downstream customers are very likely to shift to large sizes, so we need to develop high supply capability for large-sized substrate products as soon as possible; third, follow the global frontier of technology, and continue to expand the application scenarios of III-V compound semiconductors. We keep a close eye on the new technologies, new devices and new application scenarios proposed by the academic and industrial circles, give active cooperation to downstream customers in their research and development, and introduce our substrate products to new application scenarios in advance. 1-1-32

Section IV Risk Factors
In assessing the shares offered by us this time, in addition to the information provided elsewhere in this Prospectus, the investors shall carefully consider all of the risk factors described below. The following risk factors are arranged according to the principle of materiality and degree that they may affect the investors’ decisions, which does not indicate that such risk factors will occur in turn.
| I. | Technological risk |
|---|---|
| (I) | Risks related to technological upgrading |
| --- | --- |
In the development of semiconductor materials, along with the breakthrough in the technology of silicon-based materials, GaAs substrates might be replaced by SOI (silicon on insulator) wafers in RF devices and other fields of application. SOI wafers have certain performance advantages over silicon substrates. Though the RF devices produced using SOI wafers are inferior to the products using GaAs substrates in terms of power consumption, radiation and transmission speed, their cost is lower than that of GaAs substrates, so SOI wafers have replaced GaAs substrates in smart phones and other fields of application. If SOI wafers and other new-type substrate products become more cost effective and receive wide recognition on the market, or are used in more application scenarios the scope of application of III-V compound semiconductor substrates will be reduced, which may have an adverse effect on our business and results of operation.
| (II) | Risk of loss of key personnel |
|---|
The semiconductor materials industry in which we operate is a highly technology intensive industry and requires a large number of professionals, in particular, R&D personnel and outstanding management personnel. Along with the continuous growth of market demands and increasingly fierce competition in the industry, the semiconductor materials industry faces increasingly fierce competition for technical professionals. If we are unable to provide a better development platform, more competitive remunerations and friendly R&D conditions, our key personnel may leave us, which may have an adverse effect on our business.
**(III)**Risk of disclosure of core technologies
Through years of technology research and development and accumulation, we now own series of proprietary intellectual properties and know-how. Though we attach great importance to the protection of core technologies, our intellectual properties and know-how may be disclosed due to failure of our or our suppliers’ network security systems to prevent unauthorized accesses and complicated web attacks, or improper handling of sensitive data by our employees or suppliers or otherwise, which may seriously damage our reputation and competitiveness, and in turn have an adverse effect on our business development and results of operation.
| II. | Operating risk |
|---|---|
| (I) | Risks related to market competition |
| --- | --- |
The industry in which we operate have a relatively high market concentration, and our III-V compound semiconductor substrate and germanium substrate products directly compete with the products of Sumitomo, JX Nippon, Freiberger, Umicore and other advanced international companies that have strong R&D capabilities, know-how, distribution channels and market reputations, and may develop more advanced technologies and launch more competitive products. In addition, such competitors own core technologies similar to the VGF technology owned by us. 1-1-40
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
Along with the continuous growth of the semiconductor terminal application market in China, the market of compound semiconductor materials develops rapidly, and a lot of new III-V compound semiconductor material projects have been built, which make us face competitions from both advanced international companies and new players in China, and may result in a decrease in our product prices. If we are unable to effectively cope with such competitions, our operating revenues, results of operation and financial condition may be affected adversely.
| (II) | Risk of reliance on the suppliers of certain critical raw materials and fluctuations in the raw material prices |
|---|
The main raw materials required by us in production include gallium, germanium ingot, quartz, high-purity arsenic, indium phosphide polycrystalline and boron trichloride. The costs of raw materials constitute a large proportion in our production costs, and the fluctuations in the raw material prices could affect our results of operation. We generally place orders to purchase such main raw materials. As the above raw materials are not bulk commodities and there are few suppliers in the market, the Company relies on some key raw material suppliers to a certain extent, and the relevant suppliers may be unable to guarantee the long-term and stable supply of the relevant raw materials to us, which has affected our production and operation, and cause us to be unable to deliver products on schedule. In addition, delay in providing the raw materials by the suppliers may result in an increase in our production costs, delay in production or reduction of output, which may, in turn, have an adverse effect on our revenues and results of operation.
**(III)**Risks related to verification by customers
Our compound semiconductor material products must pass strict verifications by customers before they are sold to customers. According to industry practices, product verification often lasts about three months to one year, and even longer. During the verification of our products by a customer, we will incur sales, administration and other expenses, but cannot guarantee that our products will pass the verification. Failure of our products to pass the verification by a new customer as expected, or our new products to pass the verification by any existing customer could have an adverse effect on our results of operation. In addition, if our products fail to pass the verification by a customer, we have a slim chance to sell the relevant products to such customer within a period of time thereafter.
**(IV)**Risk of intensification of international trade disputes
Since 2018, the trade disputes between the U.S.A. and China have been growing in intensity. Between 2018 and 2020, the US government imposed additional tariffs on certain products imported from China, while the Chinese government also imposed additional tariffs on certain products imported from the U.S.A. In the future, the US government and the Chinese government may continue to impose additional tariffs on and other trade barriers against certain products imported from each other.
The continuous intensification of US-China trade disputes will have far-reaching adverse influence on the global semiconductor industry. If the Chinese government imposes additional tariffs on the raw materials purchased by us from U.S.A. or the US government imposes additional tariffs on the products sold by us to U.S.A., our production costs will increase and product prices will lose competitive advantage, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating revenues, results of operation and financial condition.
In addition, given the fact that part of the Company’s raw materials such as high-purity arsenic and indium phosphide polycrystalline and equipment such as single crystal furnaces are imported, the export of relevant raw materials and equipment may be restricted due to changes in the international trade policies of the producing 1-1-41
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
countries, or the purchase prices of the Company may increase significantly due to changes in tariffs, resulting certain effects on the Company’s profitability and production and operation to some extent.
**(V)**Risks related to industry cycle
The compound semiconductor material industry in which we operate is on the upstream of the semiconductor industry chain, and the demands for compound semiconductor materials are directly affected by the chip manufacturing and terminal application markets on the downstream. In case of any macroeconomic or industrial recession, as a result of which the growth of demands on 5G communication, data center, new-generation display, artificial intelligence and other terminal application markets falls short of expectations, or the semiconductor industry is going downhill, leading to a decrease in the output and sales of ICs, sensors, discrete devices and LEDs, our results of operation and business development could be adversely affected.
**(VI)**Risk of decrease in product prices
Our product prices may decrease due to fluctuations in downstream market demands, intensified industrial competition or other reasons. If we are unable to reduce our production costs and improve the competitiveness of our products through increasing production scale and yield rate, improving production technology or otherwise, the decrease in product prices could affect our profitability and competitiveness.
**(VII)**Risks related to product quality
Due to the complication of the environment for, and difficulty in the process control of, the growth of compound semiconductor crystals, we are unable to completely avoid product defects. If we are unable to control the defects within a reasonable range, the product quality of our downstream chip or device manufacturers may be adversely affected, as a result of which the downstream customers may return our products, reduce or cancel purchase orders, or even turn to our competitors. In addition, product defects will increase our production costs and result in costs of returned goods and additional services, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our results of operation. Moreover, if our products are often found to be defective, our market reputation could be adversely affected.
**(VIII)**Risk of suspension of production
The complicated growth environment and long period of growth of compound semiconductor crystals put forward high requirements for the continuity of production. In case of any fire or explosion during the production due to accumulation of flammable chemicals, excessively high temperature or otherwise, we may have to suspend production in order to repair the production lines or even replace equipment. In addition, the continuity of our production may be adversely affected if our main production bases are subject to any power restriction policy. We may incur direct economic losses and even lose certain customers and revenues in case of any suspension of production caused by any accident or power restriction requirements.
**(IX)**The relocation of the factory resulted in risks in fluctuation of the gross profit margin of the products and the failure to meet the expected capacity with the new production line
In 2019, the Company started to relocate the GaAs production line from Beijing to Chaoyang, Liaoning and Baoding, Hebei, and re-hired the production staff. Due to the debugging of the production line and the low proficiency of the production staff, there were a large quantity of raw materials consumed and a low yield rate of GaAs substrates, and the original customer needed to re-verify the new production lines (to be completed around the first half of 2019). As a result, the operating costs were high, leading to large fluctuations in the gross profit margin of the Company’s GaAs substrates during the reporting period. According to simulation calculation, the 1-1-42
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
increase in yield rate after the relocation of the production lines, the change in remunerations for the staff, the reduction in water and electricity costs, the redistribution of the production staff had an impact on the gross profit margin of GaAs substrates in 2020 and 2021 respectively, by 3.03% and 29.72%.
After the relocation of the GaAs production line, the InP substrates and germanium substrates need to assume a larger part of depreciation of fixed assets. Meanwhile, the Company has also reassigned the original GaAs substrate workshop staff in Beijing to InP substrate and germanium substrate workshops, and the idle production capacity of GaAs substrates has not been fully converted into the production capacity of InP substrate and germanium substrates, resulting in fluctuations in the gross profit margin of the Company's InP substrate and germanium substrate products to a certain extent.
The Company’s production lines in Chaoyang, Liaoning and Baoding, Hebei have improved the original production processes and enhanced the intelligence level. Although the foregoing production lines have been officially put into production, it will still take some time to adjust the new production line equipment and enhance the operating proficiency of the production staff. Thus, the Company’s production lines in Chaoyang, Liaoning and Baoding, Hebei are at the risk of not being able to achieve the design capacity stably, which may also result in fluctuations in the Company’s product gross profit margin to a certain extent.
**(X)**Operating risk in relation to germanium substrates
Germanium substrates are now mainly used in the field of space satellite solar energy. Before 2014, the world’s major companies with mass production capacity for germanium substrates were the Issuer and Umicore. As AXT fully relocated its germanium substrate production base to China, the Company’s germanium substrate products gradually withdrew from the aerospace market of U.S. Thus, Umicore now has a higher global market share than the Company in terms of germanium substrates.
Due to the continuous growth of the global aerospace field and the commercial satellite market, Yunnan Germanium and other domestic germanium material upstream manufacturers have also started to enter the downstream germanium substrate market since 2014. At present, the Company and Yunnan Germanium are the two major germanium substrate manufacturers in the domestic market. According to the 2021 annual report of Yunnan Germanium, in 2021, it produced 282,800 pieces of photovoltaic-grade germanium products (converted to 4 inches), and expanded its production capacity by 200,000 pieces of 6-inch germanium substrates. With the growth of Yunnan Germanium’s output and sales of germanium substrates, there was a fierce competition in the price of germanium substrates between the Company and Yunnan Germanium. In 2021, the average unit price of germanium substrates of the Company in the domestic market dropped from RMB289.04/piece to RMB226.23/piece, a decline of 7.89%. The entry of Yunnan Germanium and other domestic competitors has resulted in intensified competition in the germanium substrate market. If the Company is unable to maintain a competitive advantage in the production of the existing products and the development of new products, there is a risk that the Company’s share in the germanium substrate market will be reduced, the revenue or gross profit of the Company generated therefrom may be further decreased.
**(XI)**Safety production risks
Some of the Company’s raw materials involve hazardous chemicals, which are exposed to the risk of hazardous chemical accidents during production, storage and transportation. In the event of any production accident arising from the improper storage and operation of the Issuer’s articles, natural disasters and any other reasons, it may have a certain impact on the normal implementation of the Company’s production and operation activities, resulting in economic losses. 1-1-43
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
| III. | Risk of management and internal controls |
|---|---|
| (I) | We have a controlling shareholder but do not have an actual controller |
| --- | --- |
As of the date of this Prospectus, AXT directly holds 85.51% shares in us, and is our controlling shareholder. As a company listed on the NASDAQ, AXT has a decentralized shareholding structure, and does not have an actual controller. Therefore, we also do not have an actual controller. We cannot guarantee that we will not forfeit the opportunities of business development due to unstable corporate governance structure or inefficient decision making caused by lack of actual controller, which may affect our production and operation and cause fluctuations in our results of operation. In addition, the changes in the shareholding structure and control of AXA in the future (if any) may result in changes in the main members of our management, which may in turn affect our normal operations.
**(II)**Risk of management and internal controls resulting from increase in our scale of operation
During the reporting period, our total assets amounted to RMB1‚336,216‚000, RMB1‚803,043,800 and RMB1,978,987,000, and operating revenues amounted to RMB462‚226‚800, RMB583‚170‚400 and RMB857,345,200 receptively, both of which have grown rapidly.
Along with the further increase in the scale of our assets, operation and employees, the allocation of resources in research and development, purchasing, production, sales and other areas, and internal controls and management have become increasingly complicated, which put forward higher requirements for our organization structure and management capabilities. Our internal control system and management level may be unable to adapt to the rapid increase in our scale of operation, which may result in a decrease in our operating efficiency, and increase in the costs and expenses at a rate higher than the growth rate of revenues, which in turn could lower our competitiveness. We face risks of management and internal controls resulting from increase in our scale of operation.
**(III)**Risk of integration and management of subsidiaries
During the reporting period, we acquired Chaoyang Tongmei, Baoding Tongmei, Chaoyang Jinmei, Nanjing Jinmei, Beijing Boyu, AXT-Tongmei and other companies through business combination involving entities under common control. Such companies are mainly engaged in the research, development, production and sale of GaAs substrates, PBN materials and other high-purity materials, as well as overseas procurement and overseas sale of semiconductor substrate materials mainly in the US.
Following the Company’s merger and acquisition of the above entities, it has implemented the integration of them in terms of operation, management, R&D activities, etc. Up to now, they have operated for more than 12 months after the reorganization, and their operation is in good condition. However, if the Company’s integration and management of its controlled subsidiaries cannot be implemented effectively, the Company’s future business activities may be affected.
| IV. | Financial risk |
|---|---|
| (I) | Risks related to collection of accounts receivable |
| --- | --- |
As of the end of each reporting period, the carrying amount of our accounts receivable amounted to RMB129,799,300, RMB152,366,000 and RMB218,634,500, accounting for 9.71%, 8.45% and 11.05% of our total assets respectively. During the reporting period, the huge amount of accounts receivable have caused certain pressure on our working capital. We have made provisions for doubtful accounts receivable according to the principle of prudence. If we fail to properly manage our accounts receivable or our customers fall into serious 1-1-44
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
difficulties in operation, we may be unable to collect our accounts receivable in a timely manner, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operation.
**(II)**Risk of management and impairment of inventories
As of the end of each reporting period, the carrying amount of our inventories amounted to RMB245,695,300, RMB284,639,900 and RMB383,817,900, accounting for 44.03%, 30.81% and 42.17% of our current assets respectively. Both the amounts of inventories and their proportion in the current assets are relatively high. As of the end of each reporting period, the balance of allowance for impairment of inventories was RMB23,596,800, RMB14,558,100 and RMB17,216,600 respectively.
We need to maintain a certain level of inventories of important raw materials, in order to prevent interruption of supply. However, certain critical raw materials may be in short supply sometimes. Some of our inventories and works in progress may become obsolete due to changes in the specifications required by customers, or inability to be sold within a foreseeable time due to plunge in demand, which may cause losses to us. In addition, in case of any material adverse change in the selling prices of our products in the future, the net realizable value of our inventories may fall below their net carrying amount, so we have to record additional allowances for impairment of inventories, which may affect our profit.
**(III)**Risk of changes in preferential tax policies
During the reporting period, as a hi-tech enterprise, we have enjoyed a preferential enterprise income tax rate and tax credits for R&D expenses. If the Chinese government makes any material adjustment to the laws, regulations and policies relating to tax preferences or we fail to obtain the qualification as a hi-tech enterprise or satisfy the conditions for tax credits for R&D expenses in China, our results of operation may be adversely affected.
**(IV)**Risk of high percentage of revenues from the overseas market
The percentage of our operating revenues from the overseas market was 60.66%, 57.63% and 48.83% in 2019, 2020 and 2021 respectively, which was relatively high. Continuous worsening of the international trade environment, additional tariff barriers, great fluctuations in exchange rate and other adverse situations may affect our revenues from the overseas market, which may have an adverse effect on our results of operation.
**(V)**Foreign exchange risk
During the reporting period, the sales of our most products are denominated in USD and YEN, purchases of part of raw materials are denominated in USD, so RMB to USD and RMB to YEN exchange rates could affect our results of operation. During the reporting period, we recorded RMB1,271,100, RMB-6,879,000 and RMB2,815,100of exchange loss (exchange gain expressed with “-”) respectively in financial expenses. The RMB exchange rates fluctuate due to changes in international political and economic environment and are somewhat uncertain. Along with the continuous increase in our scale of operation, if the RMB-to-USD and RMB-to-YEN exchange rates fluctuate greatly in the future, our performance may become uncertain and we may incur exchange losses, which could have an adverse effect on our results of operation and financial condition.
(VI) Risk of fluctuations in gross margin ratio
During the reporting period, the gross margin ratio of our main business was 19.43%, 25.70% and 34.74% respectively, which varied with the reporting period. If our scale of operation, product mix, customer resources, cost control or advantages in technological innovation change significantly, or the industrial competition grows 1-1-45
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
in intensity, resulting in decrease in the selling prices of our products, increase in costs and expenses or substantial changes in customer demands, the gross margin ratio of our main business may fluctuate.
**(VII)**Risk of decrease in return on net assets
The balance of our net assets was RMB940,481,700, RMB971,819,300 and RMB1,427,918,600 respectively as of the end of each reporting period. In 2021, our net assets increased as a result of equity financing. After the completion of this Offering, our net assets will increase significantly within a short time. However, the projects to be invested with the offering proceeds need certain time to be completed, and our net profit may be unable to keep pace with the growth of net assets, so our return on net assets may decrease in a short time.
| V. | Legal risk |
|---|
**(I)**Risk of IP disputes
Our results of operation somewhat depend on our intellectual property (“IP”) system and ability to maintain such IPs and protect our trade secrets. As of June 30, 2022, we own 61 domestic and foreign issued patents for inventions, including 52 domestic patents and 9 foreign patents. We attach great importance to the proprietary nature and compliance of our R&D system, and do our utmost to prevent our technologies and products from falling into the scope of patent protection of our competitors. We also attach great importance to the protection of our IPs, and have built an IP protection system. Any IP dispute raised by our competitors against us or infringement of our IPs by our competitors may have an adverse effect on our production and operations.
**(II)**Risk arising from changes in industry regulatory policies
We mainly operate in China, so we need to comply with the laws and regulations of China relating to work safety, environmental protection and use of hazardous chemicals, among others, in our production and operation. In 2013, Gallium was included in the Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals; and in 2015, the State Administration of Work Safety (“SAWS”) included GaAs in the list of hazardous chemicals. The increasingly strict industry regulatory policies require us to enhance production management, to ensure our production and operations comply with the applicable laws and regulations. If we and our subsidiaries fail to comply with the applicable laws and regulations, we may be required to assume material liabilities in connection with disposal of hazardous wastes, personal injuries or administrative penalties, or suspend certain business, which may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operation.
**(III)**Risk of cross licensing of patents
In the semiconductor industry, in order to avoid infringements and suits arising from overlapping patents, the companies often make cross licensing arrangements.
AXT, our controlling shareholder, has entered into a Cross-licensing and Non-prosecution Agreement with M, one of our major competitors, under which M and AXT grant a cross license to each other and the entities under their respective control for patents filed prior to December 31, 2029 (inclusive), covering the manufacturing, use, import, and sales of gallium arsenide and indium phosphide crystals and substrate products. We, as a controlled subsidiary of AXT, are a main beneficiary of the Cross-licensing and Non-prosecution Agreement.
Our core technologies may be divulged or misappropriated if we fail to strictly implement the security measures. If the relevant licenses are terminated by M or fail to be renewed upon expiration thereof, and the Issuer fail to develop alternate technologies in a timely manner, we may face allegations of patent infringement due to lack of necessary license, which may have an adverse effect on our production and operations. 1-1-46

**(IV)**Some of our buildings have not obtained building property title certificates
Some of our buildings have not obtained building property title certificates. The total floor area of such buildings is 24,836.37 square meters, accounting for about 17.32% of the total area of main building properties owned by us and our controlled subsidiaries, a relatively low percentage. Such buildings are mainly located in our plant area at Tongzhou District, Beijing, in which part of InP substrate production lines are located. We have developed solutions with respect to the plant buildings in which the affected InP substrate production lines are located and auxiliary buildings. Other buildings without building property title certificates are not within our main premises. Therefore, the lack of building property title certificates of some buildings will not have a material adverse effect on our production and operations.
Such buildings have not obtained building property title certificates due to being completed far back in time and certain historic and objective reasons, such as the status of Tongzhou District as the sub-center of Beijing and its industrial adjustment. The competent authorities may order us to stop using such buildings.
| VI. | Risk of the projects to be invested with the offering proceeds |
|---|
(I)The projects to be invested with the offering proceeds may fail to produce the desired economic benefits
The proceeds from this Offering will be invested in the GaAs (crystal) semiconductor material project, InP (wafer) semiconductor material project and semiconductor material R&D project and used to replenish working capital. Though we have conducted feasibility studies and market researches in respect of such investment projects, such studies and researches were conducted on the basis of the current market environment, technological capabilities, development trends and other factors, such projects may face uncertainties in connection with overall economic situation, industrial and market environment, technology upgrading or otherwise when they are actually implemented, and we may fail to make breakthroughs in certain critical technologies or the performance of the products developed by us may fall short of expectations, which may have an adverse effect on the implementation of such investment projects.
**(II)**Additional depreciation and amortization of fixed assets may affect our profitability
After the projects to be invested with the proceeds from this Offering are completed and put into production, we need to record additional depreciation and amortization of fixed assets every year, which will significantly increase our fixed production costs of expenses. If such investment projects fail to produce benefits or revenues as expected due to poor management or ineffective market exploitation, such additional depreciation and amortization of fixed assets will increase our operating risks, which in turn could have an adverse effect on our profitability.
| VII. | We and our controlling shareholder AXT are listed on the STAR Market and the NASDAQ respectively |
|---|
After the completion of this Offering of A-shares, we and our controlling shareholder AXT will be listed on the STAR Market and the NASDAQ respectively, which means that we and AXT need to comply with the laws and rules and listing-related regulatory requirements of both the U.S.A. and China, and disclose the information required to be publicly disclosed according to law concurrently in the U.S.A. and China.
Due to the differences between the U.S.A. and China in the applicable laws, rules and regulatory philosophies, we and AXT are subject to different accounting standards and different regulatory requirements, including different requirements for certain accounting treatment and disclosure of financial information. In addition, due 1-1-47

|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
to the differences between the U.S.A. and China in the requirements of securities regulatory authorities for information disclosure by the listed companies, language, culture and expression habits, composition and investment philosophies of investors, and actual situations of capital market, our stock price on the STAR Market may be different from the stock price of AXT on the NASDAQ. Such differences and the fluctuations in the stock price of AXT on the NASDA may affect our stock price on the STAR Market.
On December 18, 2020, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act officially became a law in the United States. The Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act requires that, from 2021, if the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter referred to as the “U.S. SEC”) determines that a foreign company listed in the United States has engaged a foreign (in relation to the United States, the same below) auditor which cannot be inspected by the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (hereinafter referred to as the “PCAOB”) for three consecutive years, then the U.S. SEC will prohibit its securities registered in the United States from being traded on any U.S. national stock exchange (such as the NASDAQ or the New York Stock Exchange) or over-the-counter.
If the annual audit report of a company listed in the U.S. is issued by a foreign accounting firm, and the PCAOB is unable to conduct or fully conduct an inspection or investigation on such accounting firm due to the position of such foreign government, the SEC will identify such listed company and included it in the identified issuer list, that is, the list of pre-delisted companies. If a listed company is included in the list of pre-delisted companies for three consecutive years, the SEC will prohibit such company from trading its shares in any U.S. securities market.
As of the signing date of this Prospectus, AXT has not been included in the provisional list of delistings by the PCAOB.
AXT has disclosed the risk of being included in the provisional list of delistings by the PCAOB in the Section “Risk Factors” of its 2021 Annual Report (FORM 10-K). Based on the above risk disclosure, AXT considers that it cannot rule out the possibility of being included in the provisional list of delistings in the future.
**VIII.**Other risks
**(I)**The COVID-19 pandemic could have an adverse effect on the semiconductor industry
The outbreak of COVID-19 throughout the world since early 2020 has a material adverse effect on global economy. Since the COVID-19 is still spreading globally, the duration of the pandemic and its impact cannot be estimated at present. If the pandemic continues or grows in intensity, China and other countries and regions where our customers and supplies are located may take anti-epidemic measures, such as lockdown, quarantine, restriction on movement and work at home, which may have an adverse effect on our research and development, production, sales, service and other activities. If the pandemic cannot be put under control for a long time, the economic and financial markets in major countries of the world may be adversely affected, which may result in continuous recession of the semiconductor industry from the source, and have a material adverse effect on our business, results of operation and financial condition.
**(II)**Risk of fluctuations in stock price
The market price of our stock not only depends on our results of operation and prospectus, but is also affected by the macro-economic cycle, interest rate, the relation between demand and supply of capital and other factors, and may fluctuate due to changes in international and domestic political and economic situations and mood of investors. The fluctuation in stock price is a normal phenomenon on the stock market. Therefore, the investors must be aware of risks and make correct investment decisions. 1-1-48

| (I) | Incorporation of Tongmei Limited |
|---|
On July 24, 1998, the Beijing Administration for Industry and Commerce issued the Notice of Approval of the Registration of a Foreign-Invested Enterprise Name (Jing Gong Shang Wai Qi Ming Deng Zi [98] No. 439), agreeing to pre-approve the name, i.e., Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Limited.
On August 26, 1998, Beijing Tongzhou District Industrial Development Zone Corporation and AXT jointly entered into the Articles of Association of Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Limited.
On September 9, 1998, the Beijing Tongzhou District Foreign Economic Relations and Trade Commission issued to Tongmei Limited the Approval on the Establishment Contract of Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Limited, its Articles of Association and Board of Directors ([1998] Tong Wai Jing Mao Fa No. 93 ), agreeing that 1-1-50

|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
Industrial Development Zone Corporation and AXT jointly establish Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Limited; its total amount of investment is USD3.06 million and its registered capital is USD3.06 million.
On September 15, 1998, the People’s Government of Beijing Municipality issued the Certificate of Approval of a Foreign-invested Enterprise of the People’s Republic of China to Tongmei Limited (Wai Jing Mao Zi [1998] No. 00455).
On September 25, 1998, Tongmei Limited obtained the Business License of Enterprise Legal Person issued by the State Administration for Industry and Commerce.
According to the articles of association and industrial and commercial registration materials of Tongmei Limited when it was incorporated, its shareholding structure at the time of incorporation is as follows:
| No. | Name of shareholder | Amount of capital contribution (in USD0’000) | Shareholding percentage (%) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | AXT | 302.94 | 99.00 |
| 2 | Industrial Development Zone Company | 3.06 | 1.00 |
| Total | 306.00 | 100.00 |
In June 2000, the Industrial Development Zone Company and AXT signed the Share Transfer Agreement, stipulating that the Development Zone Company should transfer the 1% shares it held in Tongmei Limited (USD30,600 in total) to AXT. In accordance with the then applicable regulations such as the Administrative Measures for the Evaluation of State-owned Assets (State Council Order No. 91, November 1991) and the Rules on the Implementation of the Administrative Measures for the Evaluation of State-owned Assets (Guo Zi Ban Fa [1992] No. 36), the Development Zone Company withdrew, and Tongmei Limited should carry out an asset evaluation, and obtain a confirmation notice issued by the state-owned assets management administration in charge of review and approval, or submit the evaluation result to the state-owned assets management administration for the filing.
In accordance with the documents and statements provided by AXT and the Development Zone Company, and as confirmed through interview with a relevant person in charge of the People’s Government of Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing, the above equity transfer took place in June 2000. Due to the large time span, the decease or resignation of the original handlers and other reasons, through efforts in looking for people who know relevant information and with the support of the competent government departments, relevant historical files have been searched, but the appraisal project establishment, assets appraisal and appraisal amount confirmation of the equity transfer and other relevant procedures for the transfer of state-owned assets and relevant archives about the payment of the equity transfer price have not been found yet. Thus, it is flawed.
In response to the above situation, in order to solve historical problems, prevent the loss of state-owned assets, and support the Issuer’s listing, the People’s Government of Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing organized relevant government departments of Tongzhou District to have a discussion, and determine a retrospective audit evaluation procedures on the above matters (base date: May 31, 2000), it was determined that the competent superior departments of the Development Zone Company, namely, the People’s Government of Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing and the Tongzhou Park Management Committee of Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park (i.e. the Park Management Committee of the Tongzhou District 1-1-51
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
People’s Government, Beijing), would jointly confirm the evaluation result of the retrospective audit, and issue relevant documentary evidence as required for listing audit.
Tihuasic (Beijing) Certified Public Accountants Co. Ltd. and Tianhua Xiangtong (Beijing) Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. respectively issued the Audit Report on Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. (Tian Hua Zheng Xin (2022) Shen Zi No. N006) and the Retrospective Assets Evaluation Report on All Shareholders’ Equity of Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. Involved the Equity Value that Beijing Tongzhou Industrial Development Zone Company and Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. Propose to Learn (Tian Hua Xiang Tong (2022) No. 2-1). In accordance with such retrospective audit and evaluation results, as of May 31, 2000, the estimated value of the shareholders’ equity of Beijing Tongmei was RMB48.24 million, and as calculated based on 1% of the equity, the equity value of the Development Zone Company in Beijing Tongmei was RMB482,400. Upon consensus through negotiation and a written supplementary agreement between the Development Zone Company and AXT, it was confirmed that AXT should pay the Development Zone Company RMB1,101,686 in total, including the principal and interest for the equity transfer, which has been already paid.
On March 18, 2022, the competent superior departments of the Development Zone Company, namely, the People’s Government of Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing and the Tongzhou Park Management Committee of Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park jointly issued a Statement, confirming that “Such evaluation method and evaluation results are reasonable, and the equity transfer price is determined to be RMB482,400. The Development Zone Company has already received the full amount of the equity transfer price as well as the interest, totaling RMB1,101,686”; “The Development Zone Company has already withdrawn from Tongmei Company and has already performed the retrospective evaluation procedures, the transfer price has been settled, and it complies with relevant legal provisions on the transfer of state-owned assets, without any damage to the legitimate rights and interests of the state, any collective or any other third party and without any dispute or potential risk.” In addition, as confirmed through the interview with a relevant person in charge of the People’s Government of Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing, the Development Zone Company has gone through complete procedures for withdrawing from the Issuer, and the equity transfer is true and valid.
To sum up, in view of the flaw that the above equity transfer appraisal project approval, assets appraisal, appraisal amount confirmation and other relevant procedures for the transfer of state-owned assets and relevant archives and materials for the payment of the equity transfer price have not been found, the relevant subjects have already performed the retrospective appraisal procedures and obtained relevant documents, which has been confirmed by the competent department, and the transfer price has been settled, so that the flaw has recovered, and it complies with relevant legal provisions on the transfer of state-owned assets. The Development Zone Company has withdrawn from the Issuer by going through the retrospective evaluation procedure and settling the transfer price, the equity transfer is true and valid and complies with relevant legal provisions on the transfer of state-owned assets, without any damage to the legitimate rights and interests of the state, any collective or any other third party and without any dispute or potential risk.

2. Reasons for new shareholders' purchase of the Company’s shares, share purchase price and pricing basis
To integrate business resources and resolve the horizontal competition, the Company carried out an asset reorganization in December 2020. Jinchao Business Management used its 8.5% equity interest in Chaoyang Jinmei, Beijing Bomeilian used its 27% equity interest in Beijing Boyu, and Zhongke Hengye used its 6% equity interest in Beijing Boyu to subscribe for the newly increased registered capital of the Company to realize share exchanges with the Company to increase its capital. The capital increase price was RMB1.36 per unit of registered capital. The capital increase price for Beijing Bomeilian, Zhongke Hengye, and Jinchao Business Management is based on the net asset value per share of Beijing Tongmei and determined through negotiation.
At the same time, to realize the sharing by the Company’s employees of the Company's development results, and to achieve the purpose of stimulating employees, based on the principle of voluntariness and risk-taking, the Company realized that the employees of the Company hold shares in the Company through the establishment of an employee shareholding platform. The employees increased the Company’s capital, through the four employee shareholding platforms of Beijing Liaoyan, Beijing Dingmei, Boyu Yingchuang and Boyu Hengye, at the price of RMB1.32 per unit of registered capital. The capital increase price for the employee shareholding platforms was determined on the basis of the share purchase price for external investors with a given discount after consultation with external investors.
In January 2021, the registered capital of Tongmei Limited was increased from RMB820,960,319 to RMB885,426,756. The newly increased registered capital was derived from the subscriptions made by Haitong New Driving Force, Haitong New Energy, Haitong Innovation, Anxin Industrial Investment, Jinggangshan Meicheng, Huadeng II, Qingdao Xinxing, Qiji Hangzhou, Gongqingcheng Yihua, Shangrong Baoying, Xiamen Heyong, Hangzhou Jingyue and Lumentime Semiconductor in cash at the price of RMB5.03 per unit of registered capital. At the same time, Liaoning Zhuomei acquired part of shares held by Zhongke Hengye in the Company at the price that was equal to the price of the capital increase made by the above shareholders and became a new shareholder of the Issuer. The capital increase was due to the Company’s need of capital investment for its business development, the introduction of external investors, new shareholders’ recognition of the Issuer’s development prospects, they voluntarily subscribed for the newly increased capital of the Issuer and became new shareholders of the Issuer. The capital increase price was determined through negotiation.

3. Description of semiconductor materials
(1) Categories of semiconductor materials
Common semiconductor materials include three categories:
1) Single-element semiconductor materials, i.e. semiconductor material consisting of a single element, mainly including silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge), in which silicon-based semiconductor materials are semiconductor materials with the largest output, lowest costs, and widest applications;
2) III-V compound semiconductor materials, i.e. semiconductor materials made from III-V compounds, mainly including gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphide (InP). Thanks to the features of high electron mobility and favorable photoelectric performance, such materials have become the most developed semiconductor materials second only to silicon, and have a broad prospect of applications in 5G communications, data centers, fiber optic communications, new generation display, artificial intelligence, unmanned driving, wearable device, and aerospace;
3) Wide-bandgap semiconductors, including gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC), featuring high bandgap width, high-pressure tolerance, and high power. Despite the high costs at present, these materials have a broad prospect of applications in communications and new energy vehicles.
To differentiate these materials from each other, single-element semiconductor materials, III-V compound semiconductor materials, and wide-bandgap semiconductor materials are referred to as the first generation, second generation, and third generation of semiconductor materials, respectively.

Based on the time of invention, single-element semiconductor materials, III-V compound semiconductor materials and wide-bandgap compound semiconductor materials are called semiconductor materials of the first, second and third generations respectively. Different semiconductor materials have different features and purposes; currently, the downstream application fields of Silicon, Germanium, Gallium Arsenide, Indium Phosphide, Silicon Carbide and Gallium Nitride overlap only to a low degree, so there is no generational replacement relationship among different semiconductor materials.
The single-element semiconductor materials are most widely applied semiconductor materials. Due to rich reserve of silicon elements, mature technology and industrial support and relatively low cost, more than 90% of chips and devices are made of silicon, including CPU, GPU, other logic and memory chips. Affected by Moore's Law, silicon-based chips constantly develop toward more advanced processes, as showed in smaller processing nodes, such as 14nm, 7nm and 3nm, and more complicated structures, such as 128-layer, 192-layer 3D NAND, etc. In the common scenario which can be satisfied by performance of silicon-based chips, it is difficult for other materials to replace silicon materials.
However, for special application scenarios where performance of silicon-based chips hardly satisfy, such as high frequency, luminosity, high power and high voltage, other semiconductor materials such as III-V compound semiconductor materials and wide-bandgap compound semiconductor materials are required, and their market demands will grow along with the increase of their downstream application markets and occurrence of new application scenarios, mainly originated from incremental market, other than a substitute market of silicon and other semiconductor materials.
In recent years, wide-bandgap semiconductor materials become favorites of consumers and investors mainly due to the rapid development of the new energy vehicle industry, bringing wide incremental market for power devices of electric vehicle and charging piles. Although wide-bandgap semiconductor materials occurred later than III-V compound semiconductor materials, such semiconductor materials have been used in industrial circle for more than 30 years, not an upgrade or renewal of III-V compound semiconductor materials.
The growth of market demands for 5G, next-generation displays, data centers, unmanned driving, mobile phone facial recognition and wearable devices results in great demands for III-V compound semiconductor materials, which have definite market growth space in future.
(3) Overlapping fields and scenarios of semiconductor materials of different types
As we can see from above paragraphs that main application scenarios of different semiconductor materials are wide and differentiated, however, they overlap in certain fields, mainly in mobile communication RF and LED. The details are as follows:
1) The field of mobile communication RF
All semiconductor materials can be applied to mobile communication RF devices, but different devices have different frequency bands. The operating frequency of gallium arsenide RF devices can reach 8Ghz, which can 1-1-157
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
be applied to 4G and 5G mobile communication equipment; the main application frequency of SOI (Silicon On Insulator) RF devices is less than 3.5GHz, which can be applied to 2G, 3G and 4G mobile communication equipment and base stations; the application frequency of gallium nitride radio frequency devices is less than 40Ghz, but the power density of gallium nitride RF devices is relatively high, so it is mainly used in communication base stations.
As a whole, different semiconductor materials have different application scopes in mobile communication field: gallium arsenide and SOI RF devices are mainly applied to mobile equipment, and gallium nitride RF devices are mainly applied to communication base stations; in the field of mobile communication, the relationship between gallium arsenide RF devices and gallium nitride RF devices is more complementary than competitive.
2) LED field
The III-V compound semiconductor material (gallium arsenide) and the wide bandgap semiconductor material (gallium nitride) are all used in the LED field. Among them, gallium arsenide mainly emits red, yellow and infrared light, while gallium nitride mainly emits blue, green and ultraviolet light. The optoelectronic devices made from the two materials emit different colors and can be used together in LED display scenarios. The relationship between two materials is complementary other than competitive or substitutive.

(4) Industry chain of compound semiconductor materials
Links in the industry chain of compound semiconductor materials include the substrate link, the epitaxy link, the chip link, and the device link. The substrate, as the fundamental material of all semiconductor chips, has the functions of physical supporting, heat conduction, electricity conduction, etc. The epilayer is a new semiconductor crystal layer grown on the substrate material by metal-organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), etc. Application-specific chips may be produced with epilayers made from the compound semiconductor substrate treated with epitaxy processes, and be used to manufacture various devices.

(III) Main business models
1. Profit-making
The Company focuses on the research, development, production, and sales of InP, GaAs, and germanium substrate materials, PBN materials, and high-purity materials, and generates revenues and profits by selling relevant products to downstream customers, including epitaxy manufacturers, foundry manufacturers, chip and device manufacturers, and scientific research institutes.
To ensure stable supply of raw materials for substrate production, the Company is actively expanding its business to the upstream. For raw materials featuring high technology difficulties, high added values, and lack of stable supply in the Chinese Mainland, such as PBN crucibles and high-purity gallium, having achieved self-sufficiency, the Company sells the remaining production capacity to generate revenues and profits for the Company. For other important raw materials with stable supply in the Chinese Mainland, the Company deepens cooperation with suppliers by equity investment to ensure the stable supply of raw materials.
2. Research and development
The Company engages in research and development independently. R&D tasks of the Company are implemented in a project-based manner under the direction of the Research and Development Center, with established departments like the Semiconductor Substrate R&D Department, PBN Materials R&D Department, High-purity Materials R&D Department, etc. The Company has established comprehensive R&D procedures, and determined R&D directions based on the technology development and application demands in the industry, covering the R&D of new products and process optimization of existing products.
The Company is closely attentive to cutting-edge technologies in the industry and the R&D trends of downstream customers, and keeps close communication with customers with strong R&D capabilities throughout the world. Since only a few enterprises in the world are capable of supplying III-V compound semiconductor substrates, downstream customers normally request corresponding R&D tasks to be performed by the Company on materials for the R&D of their own new products. The Company normally needs to engage in R&D efforts with reference to the R&D plans of new devices and new end products of customers for the next 2 to 3 years.
3. Procurement
Raw materials purchased by the Company are primarily classified into major materials and auxiliary materials. Major materials include gallium, germanium ingot, quartz materials, high-purity arsenic, indium phosphide poly-crystal, red phosphorous, indium, and boron trichloride; auxiliary materials include graphite materials, liquid nitrogen, liquid ammonia, polishing solutions, polishing pads, dopants, and other supplementary materials. Energies, mainly water, electricity, gas, and steam, are mainly purchased from energy departments at the place of the factory.
With a global procurement system with standard-based procurement regulations, the Company implements regulated procurement control procedures, and has established long-lasting and mutual beneficial cooperation with suppliers. The Company has two or more qualified suppliers for every type of raw materials to maintain the supply stability of raw materials. The procurement center makes procurement after quality and price comparison within the scope of qualified suppliers in accordance with relevant provisions, and continuously monitors procurement prices. For large-quantity raw materials with high fluctuating prices, the Company has safety stocks, and implements cost control by procurement of a storage quota. For normal raw materials, the Company makes procurement after making a procurement plan in response to demands in production. 1-1-159

| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
The procurement procedure of the Company is described as follows:

In addition, the Company entrusts germanium dioxide purchased from other suppliers, germanium wastes from growing germanium single crystals, and platinum-rhodium wires worn seriously during production to qualified third parties for recycling.
4. Production
The Company mainly implements production to order, supplemented by production for appropriate stock.
In production, the Company uses an informationization system, formulates comprehensive control procedures for the production process, and establishes a procedure to promptly and effectively handle customer orders. The marketing center generates internal sales orders according to customer orders, and production orders, after being confirmed by the procurement center and quality management center, are issued to the manufacturing center, which claim materials and carry out production according to the production orders. After products are finished and taken into the warehouse, the marketing center ships out the products according to sales orders.
For a long period after the establishment of the Company, given the few qualified suppliers in the Chinese Mainland, and because the Company’s customers were mostly overseas customers, the Company mainly provided crystal and wafer processing and production services for AXT, the controlling shareholder, in the manner of processing materials supplied by customers. With the development of the semiconductor industry in the Chinese Mainland, the rapid growth of downstream customers, and the gradual improvement in production made by domestic suppliers, the Company basically terminated the manner of processing materials supplied by customers in August 2018.

The production flowchart of the Company is as follows:

5. Sales
The Company sells products through direct sales, and obtains orders mainly by business negotiation with potential customers, entrusted marketing by agents, etc.
Domestic sales are mainly the responsibility of domestic teams. The salesperson develops customers on a one-by-one basis and provides technical support and services, so as to achieve targeted sales and prompt communication and response to customer feedback. The Company has achieved favorable results for its localized sales policy –sales revenues from China have been growing over the years.
For overseas sales, the Company has established direct sales teams in the US and Europe. Since the overseas semiconductor industry started early, overseas customers have high demands for III-V compound semiconductor materials. To accurately understand the demands of overseas customers, seize market opportunities early, and respect local trade habits and operation habits, the Company also sells products in Europe, the US, Taiwan District, and other countries and regions through agents according to business practices.
Before March 2021, the Company carried out overseas sales mainly through AXT, i.e. the Company sold products to AXT, and AXT sold such products to end customers according to its sales orders. In March 2021, the Company completed the integration of overseas sales, so as to sell products to overseas customers through ATX-Tongmei. In May 2021, the Company acquired ATX-Tongmei. AXT will have no sales business after finishing sales contracts signed prior to March 2021.
(1) Sales achieved by business negotiation with customers
The marketing center of the Company is primarily responsible for contacting customers, providing technical support and services for customers, and performing marketing tasks like study of industry trends, market survey, and promotion of the Company’s products. The Company makes market-based pricing in a flexible way depending on the costs of products, market environments, customer recognition, procurement quantity, and other factors.
The sales procedure of the Company is as follows:
1-1-161

|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
Under industry practices, downstream customers normally request product certification when receiving a new supplier, and may officially enter into business cooperation with a semiconductor material supplier only after the supplier passes the certification. The period of certification varies greatly with application areas and customer scales; given the long period and high costs required for certification, once a supplier is certified, downstream customers normally will not replace the supplier rashly.
To enhance sales of the Company’s products in Japan, under the business practices in the semiconductor industry of Japan, the Company has entered into a Long-term Sales Contract with a Japanese trader. After the Company’s product is certified by a customer, the Japanese customer communicates its procurement demands directly with the trader, and the trader provides orders to the Company, stating the name of the end customer, price, technical specifications and parameters, and quantity; the marketing center checks and submits the order to the financial management center for review; then, the Company sends the product to the trader, while the trader accepts and sells the products to the end customer.
(2) Sales achieved through agents
The Company develops markets in Europe, the US, South Korea, Taiwan District, and other countries and regions through agents. The Company signs a product sales agency agreement with the agent, which is responsible for the marketing of relevant products in a specific region. The Company directly signs sales contracts with relevant customers, sends the products directly to customers, and pays the commission charges to the agent in accordance with the types of the sold products and the commission rate agreed in advance.

2. Overview of the industry of semiconductor materials
(1) Industry chain of semiconductor materials
Semiconductor materials, as an important part in the upstream of the semiconductor industry chain, play a key role in the manufacturing of semiconductor products like integrated circuits and discrete devices, and have great significance in the upgrade of the industrial structure of China and the development of national economy.
Semiconductor materials may be classified into substrates, target materials, chemical-mechanical polishing materials, photoresists, electronic wet chemicals, electronic special gases, encapsulation materials, and other materials, in which substrates are at the very core in the field of semiconductor materials. Substrates include single-element semiconductors, such as semiconductors made of silicon (Si) and germanium (Ge), and compound semiconductors, such as semiconductors made of gallium arsenide (GaAs), indium phosphide (InP), gallium nitride (GaN), and silicon carbide (SiC). Compared with single-element semiconductor substrates, compound semiconductor substrates perform better in high frequency, high power consumption, high pressure, and high temperature performance, but are more expensive to manufacture.
(2) III-V compound semiconductor materials
1) Description of III-V compound semiconductor materials
Because indium phosphide and gallium arsenide are compounds of elements in groups III and V on the periodic table of elements, indium phosphide and gallium arsenide are referred to as III-V compound semiconductor materials.

| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
Given the broad application prospects of III-V compound semiconductor substrate materials in 5G communications, data centers, new generation display, artificial intelligence, wearable device, unmanned driving, etc., they are one of the important directions for the development of the semiconductor industry.
2) Production processes of III-V compound semiconductor materials
III-V compound semiconductor materials are produced through poly-crystal synthesis and single-crystal growth, followed by several processes like dicing, edging, grinding, polishing, and cleaning, and then put in vacuum packages, in which poly-crystal synthesis and single-crystal growth are core processes.

Poly-crystal synthesis: Compound semiconductor materials are compounds of two or more elements combined at a fixed atomic ratio. Since there is no natural indium phosphide and gallium arsenide poly-crystals, it’s necessary to make such compound poly-crystals through artificial synthesis, in which two high-purity elements are put into PBN crucibles at a certain ratio to create compound poly-crystals in a high-temperature and high-pressure environment.
Single-crystal growth: Available manufacturing methods for compound semiconductor single-crystal growth include horizontal Bridgman method (HB), vertical Bridgman method (VB), liquid encapsulation Czochralski method (LEC), and vertical gradient freeze method (VGF). The following is a schematic diagram of processes in the manufacturing methods of single-crystal growth:
Schematic diagram of single crystal manufacturing processes

At present, III-V compound semiconductor substrates used in mainstream applications are generally 2- to 6-inch. Therefore, the mainstream and most effective method of single crystal production is the VGF method at present. AXT, the controlling shareholder of the Company, started commercial production of III-V compound semiconductor single crystals using the VGF method as early as 1986. Compared with other methods, the VGF method is advantageous in the following aspects:
① With respect to the diameter of single crystals, the maximum diameter of single crystals is generally 3 inches in the HB method and 12 inches in the LEC method; however, the equipment for growing single crystals using the LEC method requests high investment, and the crystals are uneven with a large dislocation density. At 1-1-176
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
present, the diameters of single crystals grown using the VGF method and VB method may reach 8 inches at the maximum, and the crystals are even with a low dislocation density.
② With respect to the quality of crystals, compared with other methods, the VGF method can produce crystals with a low dislocation density with stable production efficiency.
③ With respect to production costs, the costs are the lowest in the HB method and the highest in the LEC method. Despite similar performance in products manufactured using the VB and VGF method, since no mechanical transmission structure is used, the VGF method can produce single crystals at lower costs.

3) RF devices
There is an application market for using InP substrates to manufacture high-frequency and high-power devices and RF devices in fiber optic communications, wireless transmission, radio astronomy. RF devices made with InP substrates (hereinafter referred to as “indium phosphide-based RF devices”) have demonstrated outstanding performance in satellite, radar, and other application scenarios. Indium phosphide-based RF devices are highly competitive in the radio frequency front-ends and analog/hybrid signal broadband circuits of radars and communication systems, hence are suitable for high-speed data processing, high-precision bandwidth A/D conversion, etc. In addition, low-noise amplifiers, modules, and receivers related to indium phosphide-based RF devices are widely used in satellite communication, millimeter-wave radars, active and passive millimeter-wave imaging devices, etc. For bandwidth over 100 GHz, there are obvious advantages of using indium phosphide-based RF devices in wireless transmission of backhaul networks and peer-to-peer communication networks. In the future, InP substrates are expected to become the mainstream substrate materials for RF devices in wireless transmission networks for 6G communications and even 7G communications.
As predicted by Yole, the market size of InP substrates for RF devices will remain stable at USD15 million from 2019 to 2023, and the sales volumes of InP substrates for RF devices (equivalent to 2-inch) will reach 0.0828 million pieces in 2023.

(4) The future development trend of InP substrate
The fast development of 5G communications, big data and cloud computing will bring new development opportunities. According to Yole’s estimates, the market size of downstream devices of InP substrate will exceed USD17 billion in 2025. Driven by the market demand and supported by favorable policies such as “East-West Data Migration”, the downstream market of InP substrate will still have a sound development trend. 5G communications, big data and cloud computing all need optical modules. InP substrate is a key semiconductor material for optical module components such as lasers and receivers. Therefore, the construction of 5G base stations and data centers will greatly contribute to the market growth of InP substrate.
In the field of optical communication, 5G base stations uses much more optical modules than 4G base stations. The large-scale construction of 5G base stations will greatly drive the growth of the demand for optical modules. According to Yole’s statistics, the sales volume of optical module device InP substrate (equivalent to two inches) is expected to exceed 1 million pieces by 2026 in the world, and the compound growth rate from 2019 to 2026 will reach 13.94%. The market size of InP substrates is expected to reach USD157 million by 2026 in the world, with a compound growth rate of 13.94% from 2019 to 2026. In addition, the biggest advantage of indium phosphide is that it has a higher power density than gallium arsenide. RF devices made from indium phosphide have better application effect than gallium arsenide in the 5G millimeter wave frequency band and the B5G (Beyond 5G) sub-terahertz (THz) frequency band. In the 6G era to come, indium phosphide is expected to become the upstream basic material of communication radio frequency devices.
In the field of data centers, these years have seen a growing coverage of mobile Internet, as a result, the data traffic has grown rapidly, which has driven the vigorous development of the cloud computing industry, stimulated the growth of the demand for data center construction, and generated more demand for optical modules of data center. According to Yole’s statistics, the market size of global data center optical module will increase from USD4 billion in 2019 to USD12.1 billion in 2025, with a compound growth rate of 20% from 2019 to 2025. 1-1-183

The 8 computing hubs will promote data circulation and value transfer from the eastern areas to the less developed western regions, and facilitate the shift of data center-related industries from east to west. These 10 national data center clusters will be responsible for the development of the large and super-large data centers of the 8 computing hubs. The Project ‘East-West Data Migration’ will promote the further construction of China’s data centers, which in turn will lead to huge demand and growth space for upstream InP substrate.
4. Overview of the GaAs substrate industry
(1) Description of gallium arsenide
Gallium arsenide, as a compound of arsenic and gallium, has outstanding characteristics as semiconductor materials. Semiconductor devices made with GaAs substrates have the characteristics of high power density, low energy consumption, high temperature resistance, high luminous efficiency, radiation resistance, high breakdown voltage, etc. Therefore, GaAs substrates are widely used in the production of LEDs, RF devices, lasers, etc. Since the 1990s, the gallium arsenide technology has been developed rapidly and gradually become one of the most developed semiconductor materials. However, the market size of GaAs substrates was relatively small for a long time due to the lagging development of downstream applications and limited market demands. Driven by emerging market demands generated by 5G communications, new generation display (mini LEDs, micro LEDs), unmanned driving, artificial intelligence, wearable device, etc. emerging since 2019, the market size of GaAs substrates will gradually increase in the future.
(2) Development of the GaAs substrate industry
The upstream link in the gallium arsenide industry chain is gallium arsenide crystal growth, substrate, and epilayer production and manufacturing. Substrates, as the basis for semiconductor material growth at the epilayer, play a key role of carrying and supporting chips. Raw materials for the production of GaAs substrates include gallium, arsenic, etc. Since there is no natural gallium arsenide single crystal, such single crystals should be synthesized artificially. Equipment for the production of GaAs substrates mainly includes the crystal growth furnace, grinder, polisher, cutter, and inspection and testing equipment.
Downstream applications in the gallium arsenide industry chain mainly involve 5G communications, new generation display (mini LED and micro LED), unmanned driving, artificial intelligence, wearable device, etc.

(3) Downstream applications of GaAs substrates
Gallium arsenide, as one of the mainstream compound semiconductor materials at present, are used in applications in three stages. The first stage starts from the 1960s when GaAs substrates are used in LEDs and solar cells, and used in the aerospace field in the following 30 years. The second stage starts from the 1990s when GaAs substrates are used in radio frequency components to produce mobile devices in the context of widespread use of mobile devices. The third stage starts from 2010 when GaAs substrates enter the stage of large-scale applications in the context of widespread use of LEDs and smartphones. For example, in 2017, iPhone X took the lead in using VCSEL for facial recognition. The production of VCSEL, which requests GaAs substrates, further expands the application scenarios of GaAs substrates. With Apple, Samsung, LG, TCL, and other manufacturers entered the mini LED market in 2021, there will be explosive growth in the market demands of GaAs substrates.
At present, main downstream devices using GaAs substrates include RF devices, lasers, and LEDs. The demands of such devices are separately described as follows:
1) RF devices
RF devices, as key devices for implementing signal transmission and receipt, include power amplifiers, radio frequency switches, filters, digital-to-analog/analog-to-digital converters, etc. Power amplifiers, as the devices for amplifying radio frequency signals, directly decide the distance and signal quality of wireless communications for mobile terminals and base stations. Due to obvious advantages of high electron mobility and high saturation electron rate, gallium arsenide has always been one of the main substrate materials for manufacturing radio frequency power amplifiers. In the 4G era, the widespread construction of 4G base stations and continuous popularization of smartphones resulted in rising demands of GaAs substrates for manufacturing RF devices in 1-1-186

|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
smartphones. In the 5G era, given the higher requirements on power, frequency, and transmission rate for 5G communications, RF devices made of GaAs substrates are very suitable for high-frequency circuits intended for long-distance and long-duration communication. Therefore, the advantages of gallium arsenide materials are even more obvious in RF devices for the 5G era. The widespread construction of 5G base stations will bring about new drivers for the demands of GaAs substrates; meanwhile, the greater number of RF devices used in 5G mobile phones than 4G mobile phones will also lead to increasing demands for GaAs substrates.
In the context of the rapid development and continuous popularization of 5G communications technologies, the construction of 5G base stations and the popularization of 5G mobile phones will drive the stable growth of gallium arsenide-based RF devices. As predicted by Yole, the sales volumes of GaAs substrates for RF devices (equivalent to 2-inch) on the global market will reach 9.6570 million pieces by 2025, leading to the CAGR of 6.32% from 2019 to 2025.

2) LED
A LED is a solid light-emitting device made of compound semiconductors (gallium arsenide, gallium nitride, etc.), which can convert electric energy into optical energy. LEDs made with different materials emit lights of different wavelengths and different colors. According to the color of lights emitted, LEDs may be classified into single-color LEDs, full-color LEDs, and white LEDs. According to chip sizes, LEDs may be classified into common LEDs, mini LEDs, and micro LEDs. Common LEDs are mainly used for general lighting, outdoor large-screen display, while mini LEDs and micro LEDs are used for new generation display.
The continuously increasing popularization of LED lighting leads to decreasing prices of common LED chips and devices. Chips for common LEDs are millimeter-sized, raising low technology requirements on GaAs substrates. Such chips are the low-end market for GaAs substrates with low added values for products, which is dominated by domestic GaAs substrate enterprises in hot competition.

At present, LED-based new generation display includes mini LEDs and micro LEDs. Mini LEDs are display technologies using submillimeter-sized light emitting diodes, that is, LED devices with chip sizes between 50-200 μm, as the backlight or pixel light source. The technology of using mini LEDs as backlight of liquid crystal display (LCD) panels has been gradually used in high-definition TVs, laptop computers, tablet computers, and other electronic products, which greatly improves display effects of LCD panels. There are industrialization conditions for large-scale commercial applications of using mini LEDs as backlight. The technology of using mini LEDs as pixel light sources has better performance in display brightness, color gamut, contrast, and responsiveness; however, due to the much greater number of lamp beads than the backlight scenario, the number of chips in use is much greater than the backlight technology, which results in high costs at present. This technology is current in use for outdoor display and 4K/8K large-size high-definition TVs and displays. The year 2021 is the first year of large-scale industrialization for mini LEDs. Mini LED displays using GaAs substrate materials have been used in iPad Pro tablets released in 2021. The mini LED display technology greatly expands the application scenarios of LED display technologies, hence creating a big growth space for the demands of GaAs substrates.
Micro LEDs are display technologies using micron-sized light emitting diodes, that is, LED devices with chip sizes less than 50 μm, as the pixel light source for high-density LED arrays. Besides further enhancement of display effects, the micro LED technology can solve the constraints of the mini LED technology for small-size screens; in the future, this technology can be widely used in mobile phones, tablet computers, watches, AR/VR devices, laptop computers, high-definition TVs of various sizes, and other application scenarios.

5. Overview of the germanium substrate industry
(1) Description of germanium
Germanium (Ge) is a rare metal element with very few reserves in nature. Thanks to its high electron mobility and hole mobility, it is an excellent semiconductor material to manufacture low-voltage large-current and high-frequency devices. At present, germanium substrates are mostly used in semiconductors, solar cells, etc.
(2) Development of the germanium industry
The germanium industry chain includes extraction and refining in the upstream, purification and deep processing in the midstream, and terminal applications in the downstream. Germanium raw materials in the upstream mainly come from lignite germanium mines, lead-zinc refining by-products, germanium ingot, and germanium single crystal wastes. The high-purity germanium and germanium single crystal production processes in the midstream purification and deep processing stage are the key part of the germanium industry chain, in which germanium single crystals are produced from high-purity germanium using the Czochralski method (CZ) or VGF method. Germanium single crystals may be further deeply processed into germanium substrate materials.
At present, global germanium resources are scarce and highly concentrated. Major germanium production countries include China, the US, Russia, and Canada. Although the US has the largest germanium reserves in the world, both the current outputs and the growth space for future outputs are limited since the germanium outputs are subject to the outputs of lead-zinc mines. In terms of germanium outputs, China has become an important germanium country in the world since 2013 - its germanium outputs basically maintained at over 60% in the global outputs.
Given the scarcity of germanium resources, there is a high barrier for accessing the germanium substrate industry. Globally, the germanium substrate industry is highly concentrated, with Umicore and Beijing Tongmei as major manufacturers.
(3) Corresponding downstream products of germanium substrates
Germanium substrates are mainly used in the fields of solar cells and semiconductor devices. The details are as follows: 1-1-194
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |

Germanium was widely applied into germanium transistors from 1950 to 1970, and was gradually replaced due to the development and wide application of silicon purification technology. However, germanium semiconductor devices have very small saturation resistance, with almost no heat radiation and extremely high power consumption. Therefore, it is still used in specific scenarios in special fields. Currently, germanium substrates are rarely used in semiconductor devices.
Ge-substrate GaAs solar cells, characterized by high conversion efficiency, radiation resistance and high voltage, are widely used in space power supply, with strong advantages in applications such as artificial satellites, space stations, space probes and landing probes, effectively increasing the service life of solar cells, hence extending the working life of artificial satellites. In this context, the large number of artificial satellites and spacecraft launched around the world leads to a broad market space for the development of space solar cells.
More than 95% of the space power supply in the world uses germanium-substrate gallium arsenide solar cells. For a long period of time, germanium-substrate gallium arsenide space solar cells will be the preferred choice for space power supply. In addition, germanium-substrate gallium arsenide space solar cells may also be applied in some specific application scenarios, such as radar stations in remote mountainous areas, microwave communication stations, etc.
(4) The application or development trend of other materials with the same or similar functions as the germanium substrate, and the impact on the competitiveness and future development space of the germanium substrate
Currently, the germanium substrate is mainly used in solar cell. The development of solar cells is as follows:
1) Since the launch of the first generation of crystalline silicon solar cell in the 1960s, through continuous improvement, its photoelectric conversion rate has reached 17%-19%. Although the photoelectric conversion rate of crystalline silicon solar cell is relatively low, the production cost is low.
2) Since the 1980s, the second generation of gallium arsenide, CuInSe2 (copper indium diselenide) and CdTe (cadmium telluride) and other thin film solar cells have made certain breakthroughs in conversion efficiency, with laboratory efficiencies of 25%, 16.5% and 18.5% respectively, but the commercial conversion rate is still low due to high equipment cost. 1-1-195
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
3) Since the 1990s, compound semiconductor tandem cell (mainly germanium-substrate gallium arsenide) has achieved photoelectric conversion efficiency of 28%-32% due to the advantages of high efficiency, high voltage and good performance under high temperature, and the photoelectric conversion efficiency can reach 42.8% after concentrating, and it is used in special application scenarios such as space satellite solar cells, radar stations in remote mountainous areas, and microwave communication stations, but its high cost restricts the large-scale application of germanium-substrate GaAs in general application scenarios.
The comparison of the solar cells of the above three materials is as follows:
| Items | Crystalline silicon solar cells | Thin film solar cells | Concentrated PV solar cells | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Material | Monocrystalline silicon | Polycrystalline silicon | Amorphous silicon | CdTe | Copper Indium Gallium | Organic film | GaAs on germanium substrate |
| Light conversion rate | 17%-19% | 6%-13% | 40% or so | ||||
| Advantage | Low cost, suitable for production and marketing | Large room for battery efficiency improvement, simple production process, suitable for large-scale production | Highest battery conversion rate | ||||
| Disadvantage | Low battery conversion rate, limited room for improvement | Equipment costs are high, and the current battery conversion rate is low | High cost |

Crystalline silicon solar cells are currently most widely used due to their low cost. The germanium-substrate gallium arsenide solar cell has higher conversion efficiency and stronger radiation resistance performance. It can reduce the panel area, decrease fuel consumption and prolong battery life when used in space environment, and may not be replaced by other materials temporarily. As the cost of germanium-based gallium arsenide solar cells decreases in the future, it is also expected to be used in other high-end application scenarios.
The demand for germanium substrate in space energy field is stable, as it is closely related to the total number of satellite launches. The massive launch of satellites and spacecraft around the world provides a broad market space for the development of germanium-based gallium arsenide solar cells for space. As disclosed in the Blue Book on China’s Space Science and Technology Activities (2020), in 2020, 114 carrier rockets were launched in the world, carrying 1,260 satellites of various types. According to the US Satellite Industry Association (SIA), the market size of the global satellite industry reached USD371 billion in 2020, and the number of on-orbit satellites increased from 958 in 2010 to 3,371 in 2020. As the development of technologies such as “multiple satellites in a single rocket” and “rocket recovery” take satellites into the era of “mass production”, major countries, including China, the US, and Russia, have promulgated relevant policies in 2020 on the layout of a network of satellite links in space. According to the field of applications, artificial satellites are generally classified into communication satellites, remote sensing satellites, and navigation satellites. China and the US have accelerated the frequency of relevant satellite launches in recent years, with a total of 1,101 communication, remote sensing, and navigation satellites launched by the two countries in 2020. Communication satellites and remote sensing satellites are at the core in the aerospace competition among the countries. Although the Earth can 1-1-196

take about 60,000 satellites in the low Earth orbit (LEO), main communication bands used by LEO satellites are tending to be saturated; in addition, navigation satellites have to be replaced soon.
(5) The competition pattern and changing trend of germanium substrate market, whether the Issuer has a competitive advantage
With regard to the germanium substrate market, with the rapid development of the semiconductor industry in China, as well as the continuous growth of domestic and foreign aerospace fields and commercial satellite markets, besides the international competitor Umicore N.V., domestic enterprises, including Yunnan Germanium (002428), Guangdong Vital Advanced Materials Co., Ltd, Grinm Advanced Materials (600206), etc., are investing in the industry of germanium substrate. See information related to Umicore, Yunnan Germanium and Guangdong Vital Advanced in “II (VIII) Main enterprises in the industry” under “Section VI Business and Technology” hereof.
Established in 1999, GRIAM is engaged in R&D and preparation of new materials such as thin film materials for microelectronics and optoelectronics, ultra-high-purity metals and rare & precious metal materials, high-end rare earth functional materials, infrared optics and optical fiber materials, and biomedical materials. The company also produces and supplies high-purity germanium substrate materials for space solar cells.
The company has been dealing in the germanium substrate business for a long period, with advanced technology; the solid-liquid interface based on VGF is relatively flat, and the concentration uniformity of radial doping is good. The crystal growth process is carried out in a sealed quartz tube under high vacuum. After using the silicon-boron-gallium co-doping technology, the axial doping uniformity of the germanium crystal is greatly improved, capable of improving performance of cells based on germanium substrate after epitaxy. The company has the production capacity of germanium substrates of 2-6 inches, with an annual production capacity of 1.433 million pieces (equivalent to 2 inches). In 2021, it realized revenues RMB89,485,700 from germanium substrates, which were sold to well-known domestic and foreign customers such as Osram, AZUR SPACE SOLAR POWER GMBH, VISHAY SEMICONDUCTOR GmbH, Nanchang Kaixun and Zhongshan Dehua Chip Technology Co., Ltd. In summary, the company has a strong competitive advantage in germanium substrates.
In terms of the trend of future development, space solar cells are in transition from silicon-based solar cells to triple junction solar cells, and silicon-based solar cells will be replaced by germanium-based gallium arsenide solar cells in the trend. At present, germanium-based gallium arsenide solar cells are mostly used in space applications in China. Solar cells used in satellites launched by China are completely produced by Chinese enterprises and research institutes; in the future, the market of space solar cells may be open to enterprises, which may also increase the demands of germanium substrate materials in relevant fields.
6. Overview of the industry of PBN materials
(1) Description of PBN
Pyrolytic boron nitride (PNB), a hexagonal crystal system, is an advanced inorganic non-metallic material with high purity of up to 99.999%, good denseness, no porosity, good insulation and thermal conductivity, high temperature resistance, chemical inertness, acid resistance, alkali resistance, oxidation resistance, and obvious anisotropy in mechanical, thermal, and electrical properties. It is an ideal crucible and key component in semiconductor crystal growth (VGF method, VB method, LEC method, and HB method), poly-crystal synthesis, MBE epitaxy, OLED vapor deposition, high-end semiconductor devices, and high-power microwave tubes.
PBN is made by applying advanced chemical vapor deposition technologies, in which high-purity baron halide, ammonia gas, and other raw gases are fed into the CVD reactor under high-temperature and high-vacuum 1-1-197
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
conditions; after cracking reaction, PBN slowly grows on the surface of substrates such as graphite. PBN may directly grow into vessels such as crucibles, arks, and tubes, or be deposited into plates for processing into various PBN parts; in addition, coating protection may be achieved on other substrates to achieve customized product specifications in line with application scenarios.
Unlike common boron nitride made by hot pressed sintering, PBN is made by applying advanced chemical vapor deposition (CVD), which has a high technology barrier, leading to high concentration in the industry. In terms of the market structure, leading PBN enterprises have obvious monopoly effects with only a few market players. Major suppliers include Beijing Boyu, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Company, and SHIN-ETSU from Japan.
(2) Downstream applications of PBN materials
PBN products are irreplaceable in the semiconductor field. Downstream applications mainly include crystal growth, poly-crystal synthesis, molecular beam epitaxy (MBE), OLED, metal organic chemical vapor deposition (MOCVD), high-end semiconductor device components, aerospace, etc.
1-1-198
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
PBN industry chain

In particular, PBN materials are mainly used in the following fields:
1) Crystal growth
The growth of compound semiconductor single crystals (such as gallium arsenide, indium phosphide, etc.) request extremely strict environments in terms of temperature, purity of raw materials, and the purity and chemical inertness of growth vessels. PBN crucibles are the most ideal vessels known for the growth of compound semiconductor single crystals by now. At present, the methods for compound semiconductor single-crystal growth include the LEC method, HB method, VB method, and VGF method, corresponding to LEC crucibles, VB crucibles, and VGF crucibles.
2) Molecular beam epitaxy (MBE)
MBE is one of the most important processes for III-V and II-VI semiconductor epitaxial growth in the world, in which a film is grown layer by layer in the crystal axis direction on the substrate material with a proper substrate under proper conditions. PBN crucibles are essential source oven vessels during MBE.
3) Organic light emitting diode display (OLED)
OLED is considered to be the next generation of flat display technologies thanks to its excellent features such as self-illumination, no backlight, high contrast ratio, small thickness, wide viewing angle, fast response time, flexible panel, wide temperature range, and simple structure and process. Evaporation sources are core components of OLED vapor deposition systems, in which PBN guide rings and crucibles are main parts of the evaporation unit. Guide rings should have good thermal conductivity and insulation performance, and be capable of processing into complex shapes without deformation under high temperatures and gas emission; crucibles should have ultra-high purity, high temperature resistance, electrical insulation, and no wetting with source materials. PBN is an ideal material that has been used widely.
4) High-end semiconductor devices
The development of semiconductor chips toward small sizes and high powers leads to higher and higher requirements on devices and system for semiconductor manufacturing. Thanks to the ultra-high purity, high thermal conductivity, electrical insulation, corrosion resistance, oxidation resistance, and anisotropy, PBN products are widely used as core components in high-end devices. 1-1-199

(IV) Development of new technologies, new industries, new types of business, and new modes of the industry in the past three years, and future development trends thereof
1. Development of new technologies in the industry in recent years, and future development trends
(1) Continuously increasing sizes of III-V compound semiconductor substrates
Similar to silicon substrates, III-V compound semiconductor substrates are also continuously evolving toward larger sizes. A compound semiconductor substrate with a greater diameter means more chips to be manufactured on a single substrate, hence lower costs for manufacturing individual chips. Meanwhile, since round substrates are used to manufacture rectangular chips, certain areas at the edge of the substrates cannot be utilized; a substrate with a greater diameter leads to less loss at the edge of the substrate, which helps to further reduce the costs of chips. For downstream chip and device enterprises, reducing the costs of chip manufacturing is also one of the key factors in expanding the industrialization scope of emerging applications. For compound semiconductor substrate enterprises, the demands of downstream customers for reducing the costs of chip manufacturing lead to higher requirements on diameters of compound semiconductor substrates.
At present, GaAs substrates are mostly 4 to 6 inches in diameter around the world. The gradually maturing mini LED and micro LED technology requests geometrical increase in the number of LED chips. As a result, GaAs substrates are developing toward 8 inches to reduce chip costs as early as possible for the mini LED and micro LED industry, hence driving the industrialization process thereof. InP substrates, mostly 2 to 4 inches in diameter around the world, are developing toward 6-inch substrates at present on the background of the rapid development of optical communications and sensor demands. In the new investment cycle in downstream application fields, including 5G communications and new generation display, newly established production lines of downstream customers are likely targeted for larger sizes; as a result, enterprises capable of supplying large-size III-V compound semiconductor substrates are expected to take market opportunities early in the new cycle of the industry.
The diameter expansion technology for single crystals requests comprehensive consideration of process control in many aspects, including thermal field designing, diameter expansion structure designing, crystal manufacturing process designing, etc.; greater diameters of substrates lead to higher requirements on the flatness, dislocation density, and surface particles; and larger sizes of substrates have more requirements on the compound semiconductor single-crystal growth technology and substrate dicing, grinding, and polishing technologies.
(2) Continuously increasing length of III-V compound semiconductor single crystals
The diameter expansion of single crystals leads to continuously increasing volume and weight of single crystals, which raises higher requirements on the single-crystal growth equipment, crucibles, and process control. At present, the growth length of large-diameter compound single crystals is limited very much, and the usable crystal after dicing is even shorter, resulting in high costs of materials which affect the downstream industrialization in the industry chain. Therefore, while compound semiconductor substrates develop toward large sizes, the growth length of large-size single crystals should also be continuously improved.
(3) Continuously increasing performance indicators for III-V compound semiconductor substrates
The performance of III-V compound semiconductor substrates directly affects various performance of downstream chip and device products; in particular, under the trend of continuously decreasing chip and device sizes, core performance indicators of III-V compound semiconductor substrates, including dislocation density, resistivity uniformity, flatness, surface particles, etc., have direct impact on device yield and costs, hence affecting the industrialization of downstream application fields. During the production of III-V compound semiconductor 1-1-200

substrates, such substrate performance indicators are subject to many factors, including quality control of raw and auxiliary materials, poly-crystal synthesis process, process control during single-crystal growth, dicing, grinding, polishing, and cleaning processes, measurement technologies, and packaging technology. Substrate manufacturers should continuously research and develop new technologies and processes to continuously improve product performance indicators, so as to meet the demands of downstream epitaxy, chip, and device enterprises.
2. Development of new industries in recent years, and future development trends
(1) 5G communications industry
5G communications is a new generation of broadband mobile communication technologies featuring high rate, low time delay, and large connections. In 5G communications, InP substrates are mainly used to manufacture optical chips in optical modules. An optical module, as the core device of optical communication, is an interface module implementing information transmission between devices via photoelectric conversion. GaAs substrates are mainly used to manufacture radio frequency power amplifiers in base stations and mobile terminals. 5G base stations request much more optical modules and radio frequency power amplifiers than 4G base stations. After entering the 5G era, the widespread construction of 5G base stations will greatly drive the demands for optical modules and power amplifiers. Meanwhile, replacement demands for 5G smartphones will also significantly increase the demands for mobile phone power amplifiers. Therefore, since 2019, the development of the 5G communications industry will bring about a demand surge for III-V compound semiconductor substrate materials in the next few years.
(2) Data centers
Thanks to the development of the Internet of Things, cloud computing, 5G, and other new industries, the global data traffic experienced explosive growth, leading to dramatic increase in the demands for data centers as the important nodes for network data storage and transmission. In data centers, optical modules are used as interface modules for the photoelectric conversion between devices and optical fibers. InP substrates are mainly used to manufacture lasers and receptors in optical modules, which are eventually used in servers, rack switches, core switches, and other host devices. Under the catalyzing effects of COVID-19 around the world, and driven by new infrastructure policies in the Chinese Mainland, the construction demands of data centers in financial, artificial intelligence, medical imaging, Internet of Things, edge computing, and other industries have driven the global market demands for optical modules, which will continuously increase the market size of III-V compound semiconductor substrate materials.
(3) New generation display industry
In the field of new generation display, the year 2021 is the first year of large-scale industrialization for mini LEDs. Mini LED displays using GaAs substrate materials have been used in iPad Pro tablets released in 2021, indicating no obstacle in large-scale application of such materials. In the future, the micro LED display technology with the “film, micro, and array” advantages will be commercialized in smartphones, high-definition TVs, laptop computers, tablet computers, and other display fields, leading to geometric increase in the market demands for GaAs substrates.
(4) Artificial intelligence industry
In the field of artificial intelligence, at present, VCSEL manufactured with GaAs substrates have been used in 3D sensing technologies. In 2017, Apple took the lead in using VCSEL lasers in iPhone X for facial recognition, which created the opportunities of large-scale commercialization of 3D sensors. In the future, the 3D sensor 1-1-201

| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
technology will develop from facial recognition to body recognition, and it’s expected that there will be new incremental demands for GaAs substrates in the artificial intelligence field.
(5) Unmanned driving industry
Given the development of unmanned driving (L4-L5) technologies and the increased penetration of advanced driver-assistance (L3) technologies, it’s expected that the market of vehicle-mounted laser radars will experience high-speed development, leading to incremental demands for InP substrates and GaAs substrates.
(6) Wearable device industry
The popularization of smart watches leads to higher market expectations on wearable device. Main functions of wearable device may be classified into two categories. One category is health and medical functions, in which sensors made of InP substrates may be used to monitor vital signs such as the heart rate, blood oxygen levels, blood pressure, and even blood sugar levels. The other category is entertainment functions, in which laser sensors made of InP substrates may emit invisible lights without harm to vision, and may be used in virtual reality (VR) glasses. The diversification of wearable device and increasing penetration will lead to incremental demands for InP substrates.
3. Development of new types of business and new modes in the industry in recent years, and future development trends
The production of III-V compound semiconductor materials by enterprises involves arsenic, gallium, or indium. At present, waste treatment in the industry is mostly entrusted to external third parties because most enterprises are not capable of purifying waste wafers and liquids. In the future, given stricter and stricter environment protection requirements imposed by the states, enterprises in the industry will increase investment in environment protection expenses and environment protection equipment. Therefore, more attention will be paid to the purification technologies intended for wastes in the industry of III-V compound semiconductor materials. Purification of wastes not only indicates the collection and recycling of waste wafers and liquids generated during production, but also effectively solves enterprises’ environment protection issues involved in the production of III-V compound semiconductor materials, hence achieving both corporate benefits and social benefits.
(V) Trends, opportunities, and challenges in the development of the industry
1. Opportunities
(1) Significant opportunities for the development of the semiconductor industry in China thanks to the global industry migration
Historically, the global semiconductor industry chain experienced geographical migration for two times - from the US to Japan in the 1970s, and from Japan to South Korea and Taiwan District in the 1980s. At present, the global semiconductor industry is in the process of migrating to the Chinese Mainland. However, semiconductor materials are still a weak link in the semiconductor industry of China by now. On the background of the semiconductor industry migrating to the Chinese Mainland, as the largest market of semiconductor end applications, the Chinese Mainland is expected to attract the presence of more domestic and overseas enterprises, which will further improve the overall development level of the domestic compound semiconductor industry chain. It’s expected that the auxiliary environment for the compound semiconductor industry chain in China will be significantly improved, leading to higher market shares in the future. 1-1-202

(2) New opportunities from new demands generated by new applications
Despite the excellent performance, III-V compound semiconductor substrate materials have been constrained for a long period of time by the small market size of downstream applications and high costs; as a result, the market size is greatly less than silicon substrate materials. However, additional markets have been generated for substrate enterprises by many new application fields of III-V compound semiconductors emerging in recent years, such as mini LEDs, micro LEDs, wearable sensors, vehicle-mounted laser radars, and biometric recognition lasers. Given that all such demands are in the process of industrialization and the very low base market size of III-V compound substrates, the volume increase in any one of such markets will greatly drive the entire III-V semiconductor substrate market. In addition, in inherent application fields of III-V compound semiconductors, optical modules for base stations and data centers, smartphones, and base station RF devices, the rapid development of 5G communications, big data, and cloud computing also brings opportunities for 5G base station construction, data center construction, and 5G smartphone replacement, which may lead to great growth points for the III-V semiconductor substrate market.
2. Challenges
(1) Possible mismatch between supply and demands and outflow of talents due to over-investment
The rapid development of the compound semiconductor industry in China has attracted the investment of large funds, resulting in certain over-investment. Considering the mismatch between operating sizes and technology competency of some enterprises, it’s expected that low-end products will experience destructive competition in the future, and talents in the industry may go over to competitors for higher salaries.
(2) Increasing requirements imposed by the state on environment protection and safety in production
In 2013, gallium was included in the Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals; In 2015, gallium arsenide was included in the list of hazardous chemicals released by the State Administration of Work Safety. Given the stricter regulatory policies in the industry, GaAs substrate enterprises should constantly enhance management over the transportation, use, production, and other stages of raw materials, semi-finished products, and finished products, leading to increasing investment for safety in production to ensure the lawfulness and compliance of production and operation.
Production processes employed by III-V compound semiconductor substrate enterprises involve chemical synthesis processes, high-temperature and high-pressure synthesis processes, physical dicing, polishing, and cleaning processes, purification processes, etc., which will generate certain emission of “three wastes” (waste water, waste gas, and industrial residues). Higher state standards for environment control and higher demands of customers for quality of products from suppliers will lead to increasing costs of III-V compound semiconductor substrate enterprises for environment protection and control.

In summary, with the profound technology accumulation, strict confidentiality measures, and sufficient R&D investment, the Company has certain technical advantages in the global industry of III-V compound semiconductor materials.
(2) Customer and market advantages
Generally, III-V compound semiconductor substrate products should pass customer certification on a per-model basis, and the products may be offered for sale only after passing the customer certification. Given the long period and high costs required for certification, once a substrate product is certified, downstream customers normally will not replace the supplier rashly, which leads to a long-lasting and stable cooperation between the customer and the supplier. As the Company is one of the early enterprises engaging in the InP substrate, GaAs substrate, and germanium substrate business around the world, and the Company’s various product models have passed customer’s product certification around the world. During the reporting period, the Company has been actively marketing large-size InP substrate and GaAs substrate products; thanks to the favorable market reputation built by the Company through long-term operation, the Company’s large-size substrate products have successively passed the certification by various customers.

| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
customizing substrate products against different specifications in response to different demands of downstream customers, which leads to advantages in full product models and customized production for the Company compared with international competitors.
In summary, the Company has strong product advantages compared with domestic and overseas competitors.
(4) Supply chain advantages
The industry of III-V compound semiconductor materials involves many links, and there are only a few suppliers for some upstream materials, especially in the early days of the Company, there were very few qualified suppliers in China. Since its establishment, the Company has built a global procurement system and an international procurement team, and has ensured over two qualified suppliers for various materials. For domestic suppliers of key raw materials, the Company or AXT, the controlling shareholder, also enhances cooperation with suppliers by equity investment, which further guarantees the stable procurement of the Company’s equipment and raw materials to avoid interruption or lack of supplies.
While continuously improving the global procurement system, in order to further guarantee the supply of raw materials, the Company has expanded to the upstream business through independent research and development for raw materials featuring high technology difficulties, high added values, and difficulties of stable supply from the Chinese Mainland. By now, the Company has been producing key raw materials, such as PBN crucibles and high-purity gallium, through controlled subsidiaries, and developed the indium phosphide poly-crystal manufacturing technology, which ensures the stable supply of such key production elements at the source.
With the layout basically completed for the supply chain of III-V compound semiconductor substrates, the Company has more stable supply of all key raw materials and can effectively control the production and delivery dates of the Company while keeping production costs stable. On the background of further expanded production capacities of the Company, the Company has obvious supply chain advantages.
(5) Advantages in safety in production and environment protection
Some raw materials and semi-finished products in the production of GaAs substrates are hazardous chemicals listed by the state. As the state policies on environment protection become stricter, some domestic enterprises of compound semiconductor raw materials were ordered to suspend production due to problems of safety in production and environment protection, leading to the tension in the supply of some raw materials in the industry. In order to handle issues of safety in production and environment protection, the Company has established a recycling production system in a qualified chemical park in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province. With the Company at the core, the park has built a gallium arsenide industry cluster and established a system in which hazardous chemicals are controlled, processed, and recycled on a centralized basis, which safeguards the stable supply of upstream raw materials for the Company in terms of production qualifications. Meanwhile, liquid wastes generated during the production of the Company are collected, treated, and recycled, which effectively solves the environment protection difficulties of the gallium arsenide industry, reduces production costs, and achieves favorable demonstration effects in energy conservation and emission reduction.
Therefore, with the production base established in a qualified chemical park, the Company has certain advantages in auxiliary facilities on the background of stricter and stricter policies on safety in production and environment protection.

Through comprehensive comparison of the technical parameters of products publicly disclosed by Sumitomo, Freiberger, Japan JX and other enterprises, the Company’s products have advantages of low dislocation density and high flatness (the lower the total thickness fluctuation value and the warpage, and the higher the flatness, the better the performance); the technical parameters of other products are comparable to those of major international competitors, generally at leading level in the world.
By developing large-size InP substrates and GaAs substrate products, the Company fills the market gap and effectively meets the needs of its downstream customers; in addition, through further improvement of monocrystal growth equipment, PBN crucibles and production process, the Company constantly increases the growth length of large-diameter monocrystals, effectively reducing production costs, enhancing crystal growth efficiency, and greatly improving its market competitiveness.
3. The competitive layout of germanium substrates
Before 2014, the world’s major companies with mass production capacity for germanium substrates were the Issuer and Umicore. At present, the Company mainly sells 4-inch germanium substrates in the domestic market, while those sold in overseas markets are mainly 6-inch and 4-inch products.
(1) International market
In the international market, the main competitor of the Company (and its controlling shareholder AXT) is Umicore, which has been engaged in the germanium product business for over 40 years, with infrared-grade germanium products, ultra-high-purity germanium single crystals, germanium substrates and other germanium products. In the international market, the Company (and its controlling shareholder AXT) used to have a global market share of germanium substrate products ahead of Umicore. As AXT fully relocated its germanium substrate production base to China, the Company’s germanium substrate products gradually withdrew from the aerospace market of U.S. At present, the Company’s overseas markets are mainly located in Europe and Asia. Thus, Umicore now has a higher global market share than the Company in terms of germanium substrates.

(2) Domestic market
In the domestic market, the Company was the most important germanium substrate supplier in China before 2014. As China’s germanium output ranks first in the world at present, some domestic germanium manufacturers, such as Yunnan Germanium, also used to supply germanium ingots or germanium single crystals and other raw materials to Umicore. With the continuous growth of the global aerospace field and the commercial satellite market, domestic upstream manufacturers of germanium substrates have also started entering the downstream germanium substrate market. Yunnan Germanium started to produce and sell germanium substrates on a small scale in 2014. According to the 2019 annual report of Yunnan Germanium, it achieved a revenue of RMB28,447,400 with germanium substrates in the same year.
In recent years, the demand in the domestic market has also shown a rapid growth trend. Yunnan Germanium has also reinforced its development efforts in the domestic market. During the reporting period, its revenue from germanium substrates increased to RMB77,109,300 from 2019 to 2021, and its germanium substrate business in 2021 was comparable to the Company’s revenues.
A comparison of changes in price, production capacity and output between the Company and Yunnan Germanium in terms of germanium substrate products is as follows:
Unit: RMB/piece, 0’000 pieces (converted to 4 inches)
| Germanium substrate | Beijing Tongmei | Yunnan Germanium | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | 2020 | ROC | 2021 | 2020 | ROC | ||
| Unit price | 287.74 | 336.81 | -14.57% | 283.70 | 390.06 | -27.27% | |

GaAs substrate2. Sales prices of main products
The table below shows the changes in the average sales prices of the Company’s main products during the reporting period:
| Product category | Unit | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amount | Change | Amount | Change | Amount | ||||
| InP substrates | RMB/piece | 1,196.06 | 74.98% | 683.54 | -9.09% | 751.87 | ||
| GaAs substrates | RMB/piece | 437.68 | -6.14% | 466.33 | 23.20% | 378.50 | ||

The average unit prices of various substrate materials are subject to effects of many factors, including changes in product sizes and structures, customer requirements on product parameters, fluctuation in prices of raw materials, etc. During the reporting period, the InP substrates and GaAs substrates of the Company have generally experienced price increase, while the prices of germanium substrates remained relatively stable.
In 2021, the prices of InP substrates increased greatly; the main reasons are that as the global demands for downstream optical chip, optical module epitaxy and device increase, the supply falls behind, so the Company, as the second largest provider of Indium Phosphide, raised sales prices properly; in addition, the Company has integrated overseas sales from May 2021 to directly face end customers, leading to great price increase.
In 2020, the unit price of GaAs substrates increased obviously, mainly due to the effects of the increase in the price of the raw material gallium, and the increasing proportion in the sales of large-size products.
The prices of PBN crucibles experienced certain fluctuation, mainly due to the certain price differences among different device models, sizes, performance, and purposes since crucibles are mostly customized products.
In 2021, the prices of the Company’s high-purity metals and compounds increased substantially, mainly due to the impact of the continuous increase in the prices of raw material gallium since the second half of 2020.

IV. Procurement of raw materials by and main suppliers of the Issuer
(I) Procurement of raw materials
Raw materials used in the production of the Company mainly include high-purity arsenic, gallium, indium phosphide poly-crystals, germanium ingot, boron trichloride, and quartz materials. The table below shows the amounts of main raw materials purchased by the Company and proportions in the total procurement amounts of raw materials during the reporting period:
In RMB0’000
| Item | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Amount | Proportion | Amount | Proportion | Amount | Proportion | ||
| Gallium | 15,250.09 | 37.61% | 6,349.97 | 23.73% | 977.37 | 5.67% | |
| Germanium ingot | 4,619.11 | 11.39% | 4,618.48 | 17.26% | 2,879.19 | 16.71% | |
| Quartz materials | 3,849.18 | 9.49% | 2,965.95 | 11.08% | 1,574.30 | 9.14% | |
| High-purity arsenic | 1,675.17 | 4.13% | 1,214.61 | 4.54% | 991.72 | 5.75% | |
| Boron trichloride | 1,009.54 | 2.49% | 915.83 | 3.42% | 1,042.18 | 6.05% | |
| Indium phosphide poly-crystals | 1,230.59 | 3.04% | 693.76 | 2.59% | 1,485.51 | 8.62% | |
| Total | 27,633.69 | 68.16% | 16,758.61 | 62.62% | 8,950.28 | 51.94% |
During the reporting period, the amount of gallium purchased by the Company fluctuated greatly, mainly due to the relocation of the Company’s gallium arsenide production line from Beijing to Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province in 2019, for which the Company kept more gallium arsenide crystals in reserve at the end of 2018, leading to the less procurement of gallium in 2019. In 2020, since the relocated production line was put into operation gradually, the Company’s production capacities and output increased, leading to the gradual increase in the procurement of gallium.
In 2020, the amounts of indium phosphide poly-crystals purchased by the Company decreased, mainly because the Company acquired the indium phosphide poly-crystal synthesis technology and gradually replaced imported indium phosphide poly-crystals with self-produced indium phosphide poly-crystals. The increase in the amount of indium phosphide poly-crystals purchased by the Company in 2021 was due to the high market demands for InP substrates and insufficient production capacities of the Company for indium phosphide poly-crystals, for which the Company increased the amounts of imported indium phosphide poly-crystals.

| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
During the reporting period, the prices of water consumed by the Company experienced fluctuation. The low prices of water in 2020 are mainly because water consumption of the Company mainly involve the wafer production workshop at Beijing Tongmei and the wafer production workshop at Baoding Tongmei. In 2020, under the impact of COVID-19, the Water Administration of Tongzhou District, Beijing suspended collecting waste water treatment fees to promote the continuous and healthy development of small- and medium-sized enterprises, which reduced the water prices. Since the Water Administration of Tongzhou District, Beijing resumed collecting waste water treatment fees from May 2021, the water prices gradually returned to the normal level.
In 2020 and 2021, the prices of electricity consumption by the Company were relatively low mainly because the Company relocated the production of gallium arsenide crystals, gallium arsenide wafers, and high-purity materials from Beijing Tongmei and Nanjing Jinmei to Chaoyang Tongmei, Baoding Tongmei, and Chaoyang Jinmei, while the electricity costs in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province are relatively lower.
The prices of natural gas experienced fluctuation during the reporting period. In 2021, the prices of natural gas purchased by the Company increased greatly mainly due to the market-oriented adjustment of natural gas prices in Chaoyang City, Liaoning Province; the natural gas fees for 2021 contained pipeline service fees, resulting in large increase of unit cost of natural gas over previous years.

The Company sells products to AXT on a cost-plus pricing basis. The table of comparison between the price at which the Company sells products to AXT and the average sales price is as follows:
In RMB/piece
| Item | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Price at which the Company sells products to AXT | Average sales price | Difference rate | Price at which the Company sells products to AXT | Average sales price | Difference rate | Price at which the Company sells products to AXT | Average sales price | Difference rate | |
| GaAs substrate | 347.36 | 431.10 | -19.42% | 439.92 | 466.33 | -5.66% | 352.88 | 378.5 | -6.77% | |

Note: As the sale by the Company to AXT in 2021 took place in the period from January to June, it is compared and analyzed using the average purchase price in the period from January to June 2021.
The difference between the price at which the Company sells products to AXT and the average sales price is mainly reflected in the different performance requirements by customers for substrate products. The price depends on the product size, technical parameters, thickness and edge angle.
| 1) | GaAs substrate |
|---|
The difference rate between the price of GaAs substrate sold by the Company to AXT in 2019 and 2020 and the average sales price of the Company is no more than 10%, mainly because GaAs substrate belongs to a proven semiconductor material, the competition among manufacturers is stiff, the customers have strong bargaining power and thus enjoy little price difference.
The difference rate between January and June of 2021 is relatively large, primarily because the deliveries of GaAs substrate are expected to increase by 26.98% by comparing with 2020 based on the Yole’s statistics. In the 1-1-290
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
context of the expansion of market scale and the stable rise in the GaAs substrate production capacity of the Company, the Company has further increased its incentives in the international market.
During the reporting period, the average unit price at which the Company sells GaAs substrate to ATX was lower than the average unit price, primarily because overseas customers purchased GaAs substrate to be used partially in conventional LEDs, and their prices were lower than the prices at which GaAs substrate are used in radio frequency devices and lasers. For example, Osram, the largest overseas customer, purchases GaAs substrate to be mainly used in conventional LED fields such as automotive lighting and industrial lighting, while the Company has basically withdrawn from the conventional LED field in the domestic market; in addition, the Company’s GaAs substrate ranks behind Freiberger and Sumitomo. The international market is fiercely competitive. In order to explore the international market for GaAs substrate, the Company has adopted a more aggressive market strategy, which has also led to lower prices offered to AXT. However, domestic customers purchased the Company’s GaAs substrate to be mainly used in smart phones, artificial intelligence, unmanned driving and other fields, which have higher technical requirements for GaAs substrate. Also, the added value is higher, and the domestic price of the Company’s products is higher, thereby driving up the average sale price.
Overall, the price at which the Company sells GaAs substrate to AXT is reasonable.
2) InP substrate
The average unit price at which the Company sells InP substrate to AXT is lower than the average unit price.
For a long time, the Company’s InP substrate products have been mainly promoted and sold by AXT on overseas markets. During the reporting period, with the growth of domestic optical modules and other industries, the Company’s domestic sales team has achieved great results in market exploitation. The proportion of domestic sales of InP substrate has begun to increase rapidly. In 2019, 2020, and from January to June 2021, the
1-1-291
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
export volume of InP substrate accounted for 79.88%, 77.18% and 65.07%, respectively. The Company’s large-scale production of InP substrate still relies on overseas orders to a large extent. During the reporting period, overseas sales mainly relied on AXT for market exploitation, customer maintenance and technical cooperation with customers.
Yole’s statistics shows that 80.21% of InP substrate products are mainly used in optical module devices with optical chips as the core. The world’s leading optical chip, optical module epitaxy and device companies are mainly overseas companies, including IQE, Landmark Optoelectronics, Visual Photonics Epitaxy and Win Semiconductor. InP-based optical chips require close cooperation with various upstream and downstream production links such as substrate-epitaxy-foundry. Any problem in any production link will directly affect the product varieties of optical chip and optical module device manufacturers. In order to ensure the stability of the supply chain and smooth communications in the production process, the world’s leading optical chip, optical module extension and device companies prefer purchase overseas. As affected by uncertain events such as the trade frictions and the pandemic, overseas customers will not easily purchase directly from domestic suppliers. AXT, as a former main body of overseas sales and application research and development, undertook the functions of developing overseas customers and providing research on the matching of extended processing performance. AXT sells InP substrate to overseas customers, needs to communicate closely with overseas customers on downstream production processes, and provides overseas customers with reasonable epitaxial production suggestions. In 2019 and 2020, AXT’s sales and R&D expenditures were USD4,508,400 and USD4,967,600, respectively, among which the expenses for overseas sales of InP substrate, customer maintenance, and performance matching represent a larger proportion.
The average unit price offered to the customers developed by the Company through domestic sales team is higher the price at which the Company sells InP substrate to AXT. The abovementioned expenses for market exploitation, research and development are borne by the Company. In addition, the performance parameters of InP substrate sold by the Company to Customer A, Customer B, and other customers are extremely high, because InP substrate products purchased by such customers from the Company are mainly used in some cutting-edge fields. Therefore, the performance indicators such as the doping concentration, conductivity, and dislocation density of InP substrate needed by such customers are higher than those of overseas customers.
In summary, AXT plays an important role in the market exploitation, customer maintenance and application research and development of InP substrate. It also bears higher costs and expenses. Therefore, AXT adds a higher proportion on the basis of Beijing Tongmei’s sales price. Overall, the price at which the Company sells InP substrate to AXT is reasonable.
3) Germanium substrate
The price at which the company sells germanium substrate to AXT is higher than the average sales price, mainly because the raw materials for germanium substrate are mainly produced in China, and there are few foreign germanium substrate producers. Germanium substrate purchased by overseas customers is mainly used for high-end solar cells, so the sales prices offered to AXT are relatively high; while domestic market competition is fierce, so domestic sales prices are relatively low.
The sales price at which the Company sells germanium substrate to AXT has a small difference compared with the average sales unit price of photovoltaic-grade germanium products of Yunnan Lincang Xinyuan Germanium Industry Co., Ltd. (002428.SZ). The details are as follows: 1-1-292

Overall, the price at which the Company sells germanium substrate to AXT is reasonable.
4) Reason for related party transactions between the Company and AXT and solution
The business transaction mode and price between the Company and AXT are determined by the organizational structure of AXT and the long-term business growth model. AXT, incorporated in California, the US in December 1986, initially established its complete R&D and production systems, and directly explored its own market, In 1998, AXT decided to explore business in China and gradually transferred its production and R&D fully to China, so it established Beijing Tongmei. AXT shut down its production in the US, but only keeps overseas sales,
purchase and partial application R&D business. On the one hand, the Company sells products to AXT on a cost-plus basis, limiting the sales price offered to AXT; on the other hand, AXT earns returns from sales of the products from the Company to overseas customers, and such returns are used for AXT’s normal operation, application R&D .
AXT-Tongmei completed the business and customer transfer with the Company, and undertook AXT’s overseas sales, purchase, and application R&D. AXT ceases to conduct sales business after performing the sales contracts signed prior to March 2021.
(2) Sales by the Company to Xing’an Gallium
In addition, in 2020 and 2021, the Company sold high-purity gallium to Xing’an Gallium, with the amounts being RMB12,600 and RMB16,500, respectively. Such sales are designed to compare products of Xing’an Gallium, and the sales price is the market price at which the Company sells high-purity gallium to others. There is no related party transaction with evidently unfair price. 1-1-293

Based in China and serving the world, the Company has established close cooperation with many well-known epitaxial, chip and device companies around the world, and its main customers include professional epitaxial manufacturers, foundry manufacturers, chip and device manufacturers, such as Osram, Customer C, IQE, II-VI, Meta, Qorvo, IPG, Skyworks, Broadcom, Customer A, Customer B, Win Semiconductor, Landmark Optoelectronics, Visual Photonics Epitaxy, San’an Optoelectronics and Everbright Photonics, covering almost all the well-known companies in the global III-V compound semiconductor industry chain. According to Yole, the Company has outstanding market and industry position with the second largest market share of InP substrate in the world in 2020 and the fourth largest market share of GaAs substrate in the world in 2019.
Although the Company has possessed a leading industry position and advantages in relevant products, the Company still needs to maintain and further enhance its competitiveness in the industry by continuously strengthening its technical strength and expanding its production and sales scale.
4. External market environment for the industry where the Company operates
In terms of external market environment, the Company’s future operating results and financial condition are mainly subject to global economic and industry cycles. Demands for semiconductor products may fluctuate with the changes in global economic environment and industry cycles, which in turn may affect the Company’s operating results and financial condition.
The global semiconductor industry chain has historically experienced two geographic industrial shifts, the first from the United States to Japan in the 1970s and the second from Japan to South Korea and Taiwan, China in the 1980s. Now the global semiconductor industry is shifting to Chinese Mainland. While today, semiconductor materials are still a relatively weak link in China’s semiconductor industry. As the semiconductor industry is shifting to Chinese Mainland, the world’s largest semiconductor end-use market, more domestic and foreign semiconductor companies are expected to be attracted to build factories in Chinese Mainland, which will further enhance the overall development of the domestic compound semiconductor industry chain. It is expected that the supporting facilities for the compound semiconductor industry chain will be significantly improved and their market share will continue to increase in Chinese Mainland in the future.
As III-V compound semiconductor substrate materials, though with excellent performance, have long been limited by the small downstream application market and their own high cost, their market size is much lower than that of silicon substrate materials. However, in recent years, III-V compound semiconductors have been applied in several new areas, such as Mini LED, Micro LED, wearable device sensors, automotive LIDAR, biometric lasers, etc., which creates new increments for substrate companies. These demands will be generated in the process of industrialization. Due to the low base size of III-V compound substrate market, any release of demands in each of the above markets will greatly boost the development of the entire III-V semiconductor substrate market. In addition, in the markets of optical modules for base stations and data centers, smartphones and RF devices for base stations where III-V compound semiconductors were inherently applied, there have emerged opportunities for 5G base stations and data centers development and 5G smartphone upgrade with the rapid development of 5G communications, big data and cloud computing, which will create a big growth point for the III-V semiconductor substrate market. 1-1-321

(II) Possible impact or risk of the above factors on the future profitability (operating capacity) or financial condition of the Company
The possible impact or risk of the above factors on the future profitability (operating capacity) or financial condition of the Company is as follows:
1. Growth in operating revenue
In recent years, the semiconductor industry has generally maintained a growth with emerging downstream demands and increasing customer orders and demands due to the shifting of the semiconductor industry to the domestic market. With the advantages in technology and process accumulation, new product development capability, diverse product lines, product quality and customer resources, the Company has generally maintained a growth momentum in operating revenue with an average annual compound growth rate of 36.19%. The semiconductor substrate materials realized revenues of RMB357,712,900, RMB443,460,600 and RMB626,751,800 during the reporting period, with a compound growth rate of 32.37% in the past three years. In the future, the operating revenue of the Company is expected to continue to grow.
2. Gross profit margin
In view of their high customization and the higher requirements by downstream customers on their specifications, product standards and technical parameters, compound semiconductor substrate materials are typical high-grade, precise and advanced materials and the industry has high barriers in technology, market and customer verification. During the reporting period, the consolidated gross profit margin of the Company was 19.43%, 25.68% and 34.53%, respectively, showing an overall increase. The Company will further enhance its market position and continue to improve its gross profit margin through product upgrade, process improvement, product offering enrichment, cost control enhancement and business negotiation enhancement.
3. R&D investment
Since its establishment, the Company has been committed to providing innovation-driven, high-performance products and technology solutions for the semiconductor industry, and has maintained a high level of investment in research and development. After years of accumulation, the Company has developed a large number of core technologies with independent intellectual property rights and applied them to its main products, which have gained recognition from customers. During the reporting period, the R&D expenses of the Company amounted to RMB26,826,400, RMB45,108,200 and RMB90,166,400, accounting for 5.80%, 7.73% and 10.52% of the operating revenue, respectively, which remained at a high level. In order to enhance the market competitiveness of its products, the Company will continue to attach importance to R&D and the proportion of R&D investment to operating revenue will remain at a relatively high level.

VI. Significant accounting policies and estimates
(I) Business combinations involving entities under common control
A business combination involving entities under common control is a business combination in which all of the combining entities are ultimately controlled by the same party or parties both before and after the business combination, and that control is not transitory. For a business combination involving entities under common control, the party that, on the combination date, obtains control of another entity participating in the combination is the acquirer, while that other entity participating in the combination is the acquiree. The combination date is the date on which the acquirer effectively obtains control of the acquiree.
Assets and liabilities that are obtained by the acquirer in a business combination involving entities under common control (including the goodwill generated by the ultimate holding party in the acquisition of the acquiree) shall be measured at their carrying amounts at the combination date as recorded in the financial statements of the ultimate holding party. The difference between the carrying amount of the net assets obtained and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination (or the aggregate face value of shares issued as consideration) shall be adjusted against share premium under capital surplus. If the capital surplus is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings.
If a business combination involving entities under common control is achieved in stages through multiple transactions, the relevant assets and liabilities of the acquiree shall be consolidated in the comparative statements of the consolidated financial statements no earlier than the timepoint at which the acquirer and the acquiree are both under the control of the ultimate holding party, and the increase in net assets resulting from the combination shall be adjusted to shareholders’ equity in the comparative statements.
(II) Consolidated financial statements
The scope of consolidation of consolidated financial statements is determined on the basis of control, including the financial statements of the Company and all of its subsidiaries. A subsidiary is an entity that is controlled by the Company (including enterprises, the divisible portion of the investee and a structured entity that is controlled by the Company).
In the preparation of the consolidated financial statements, subsidiaries adopt the same fiscal year/period and accounting policies as those of the Company. All intra-group assets, liabilities, equities, revenues, expenses and cash flows resulting from intra-group transactions are eliminated in full on consolidation.
Where the amount of losses of a subsidiary attributable to minority shareholders exceeds the opening balance of shareholders’ equity attributable to minority shareholders of the subsidiary, the excess shall still be allocated against minority interests.
For subsidiaries acquired through business combinations involving entities under common control, the operating results and cash flows of the acquiree shall be included in the consolidated financial statements from the beginning of the period in which the combination occurs. While preparing the comparative financial statements, adjustments are made to related items in the financial statements for the prior period as if the reporting entity established through combination had been in existence since the ultimate holding party began to exercise control.
The Company shall reassess whether it controls an investee if changes in relevant facts and circumstances result in changes to one or more of elements of control. 1-1-323
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
Changes in minority interests without loss of control are accounted for as equity transactions.
(III) Foreign currency operations and translation of statements
For foreign currency transactions, the Company translates the amounts denominated in foreign currency to those denominated in functional currency.
Upon initial recognition, foreign currency transactions are translated into the functional currency using the spot exchange rate at the dates of the transactions. At the balance sheet date, foreign currency monetary items are translated using the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date. The resulting differences in the translation of settlement and monetary items are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period, except for those arising from special foreign currency borrowings related to the acquisition and construction of assets eligible for capitalization, which are treated in accordance with the principle of capitalization of borrowing costs. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at historical cost continue to be translated using the spot exchange rate at the dates of the transactions, without changing its functional currency amounts. Foreign currency non-monetary items measured at fair value are translated using the spot exchange rate at the fair value recognition dates, and the resulting difference is recognized in the profit or loss or other comprehensive income for the current period, depending on the nature of non-monetary items.
For foreign operations, the Company prepares its financial statements by translating its functional currency into RMB. Assets and liabilities in the balance sheet are translated using the spot exchange rate at the balance sheet date, and shareholders’ equity items, except for “undistributed profit”, are translated using the spot exchange rate at the time of occurrence. The income and expense items in the income statement are translated using the weighted-average exchange rate for the period in which transactions occur (unless exchange rate fluctuations make the translation at that rate inappropriate, in which case the exchange rate is the spot rate at the dates of the transactions). Translation differences arising from the above translation of foreign currency financial statements are recognized as other comprehensive income. When a foreign operation is disposed of, other comprehensive income related to the foreign operation is transferred to the profit or loss for the current period, with partial disposal calculated on a pro rata basis.
Cash flows in foreign currencies, as well as those of overseas subsidiaries, are translated using the average exchange rate for the period in which the cash flows occur (unless exchange rate fluctuations make the translation at that rate inappropriate, in which case the exchange rate is the spot rate at the dates when the cash flows occur). The effect of changes in foreign exchange rates on cash is presented separately in the statement of cash flows as an adjustment.
(IV) Financial instruments
A financial instrument is a contract that gives rise to a financial asset of one entity and a financial liability or equity instrument of another entity.
1. Recognition and derecognition of financial instruments
The Company recognizes a financial asset or a financial liability when it becomes a party to the contractual provisions of a financial instrument.
The Company derecognizes a financial asset (or part of a financial asset, or part of a group of similar financial assets), that is to be written off from the accounts and the balance sheet when the following criteria are met:
(1) the rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset have expired; 1-1-324
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
(2) the Company has transferred its rights to receive cash flows from the financial asset, or has an obligation to pay them in full without material delay to a third party under a “pass-through” arrangement; and either (a) has transferred substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, or (b) has neither transferred nor retained substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, but has waived control of the financial asset.
If the underlying obligation of a financial liability has been fulfilled, cancelled, or has expired, the financial liability is derecognized. If an existing financial liability is replaced by the same creditor with a new financial liability that has substantially different terms, or if the terms of an existing financial liability are substantially revised, such replacement or revision is accounted for as the derecognition of the original liability and the recognition of a new liability, and the resulted difference is recognized in the profit or loss for the current period.
Regular way purchase or sale of financial assets is recognized and derecognized on a transaction-date basis for accounting purposes. Regular way purchase or sale of financial assets refers to the receipt or delivery of financial assets within the period as specified by law or general practice under the terms of a contract. The transaction date is the date on which the Company undertakes to buy or sell a financial asset.
2. Changes in contracts due to the benchmark interest rate reform
As a result of the benchmark interest rate reform, the terms of certain financial instruments of the Company have been amended to change the calculation with reference to the benchmark interest rate and make other changes to the terms of the financial instruments.
For financial assets or financial liabilities accounted for under the effective interest rate method, if the basis for determining their contractual cash flows is changed only as a direct result of the benchmark interest rate reform, and the basis for determination before and after the change is economically equivalent, the Company does not assess whether the change results in derecognition, nor does it adjust the carrying amount of the financial assets or financial liabilities, and the Company recalculates the effective interest rate based on the changed future cash flows and uses it as the basis for subsequent measurement. For financial assets or financial liabilities that undergo other changes at the same time, the Company first accounts for the changes resulting from the benchmark interest rate reform in accordance with the above provisions, and then assesses whether the other changes result in material modifications.
3. Classification and measurement of financial assets
The Company’s financial assets are, on initial recognition, classified into financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, financial assets measured at amortized cost and financial assets at fair value through other comprehensive income based on the business model of the Company’s financial asset management and the characteristics of the financial assets’ contractual cash flows.
A financial asset is measured at fair value on initial recognition, except for accounts receivable or notes receivable arising from the sale of goods or rendering of services that do not contain a significant financing component or do not consider a financing component of less than one year, which shall be initially measured at the transaction price.
For financial assets at fair value through profit or loss, the related transaction costs are directly recognized in the profit or loss for the current period, and the related transaction costs of other categories of financial assets are included in their initial recognition amounts.
Subsequent measurement of a financial asset depends on its classification: 1-1-325
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
(1) Debt instrument investments measured at amortized cost
A financial asset is classified as a financial asset measured at amortized cost if both of the following conditions are met: the business model for managing the financial asset is to collect the contractual cash flows; and the contractual terms of the financial asset provide that the cash flows arising on a specific date are solely payments of principal and interest based on the outstanding principal amount. Interest income from such financial assets is recognized using the effective interest method, and any gain or loss arising from derecognition, modification or impairment of such assets is recognized in the profit or loss for the current period.
(2) Debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income
A financial asset is classified as a financial asset at fair value through other comprehensive income if both the following conditions are met: the Company’s business model for managing the financial asset is to both collect the contractual cash flows and sell the financial asset; the contractual terms of the financial asset provide that the cash flows arising on a specific date are solely payments of principal and interest based on the outstanding principal amount. Interest income from such financial assets is recognized using the effective interest method. Changes in fair value are recognized in other comprehensive income, except for interest income, impairment losses and exchange differences which are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. When a financial asset is derecognized, the cumulative gain or loss previously recognized in other comprehensive income is transferred from other comprehensive income and recognized in the profit or loss for the current period.
(3) Financial assets at fair value through profit or loss
Financial assets other than those measured at amortized cost and those measured at fair value through other comprehensive income as described above are classified as financial assets at fair value through profit or loss. For such financial assets, fair value is used for subsequent measurement, and all changes in fair value are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period.
4. Classification and measurement of financial liabilities
The Company’s financial liabilities are, on initial recognition, classified into financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss and other financial liabilities. For financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss, the related transaction costs are directly recognized in the profit or loss for the current period, and the related transaction costs of other financial liabilities are included in their initial recognition amounts.
Subsequent measurement of a financial liability depends on its classification:
(1) Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss
Financial liabilities at fair value through profit or loss include held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivatives that are financial liabilities) and financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss on initial recognition. Held-for-trading financial liabilities (including derivatives that are financial liabilities) are subsequently measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. Financial liabilities designated as at fair value through profit or loss are subsequently measured at fair value, with changes in fair value recognized in the profit or loss for the current period, except for those arising from changes in the Company’s own credit risk which are recognized in other comprehensive income; if the recognition of changes in fair value arising from changes in the Company’s own credit risk in other comprehensive income would result in or enlarge the accounting mismatch in profit or loss, the Company would recognize all fair value changes (including the effect arising from changes in its own credit risk) in the profit or loss for the current period. 1-1-326
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
(2) Other financial liabilities
Such kind of financial liabilities are subsequently measured at amortized cost by using the effective interest method.
5. Impairment of financial instruments
The Company performs impairment treatment on financial assets measured at amortized cost and debt instrument investments at fair value through other comprehensive income and provides impairment provision on the basis of expected credit losses.
For receivables and contract assets which do not contain significant financing components, the Company uses a simplified measurement method to provide loss provision based on the amount equivalent to lifetime expected credit losses.
For receivables which contain significant financing components, the Company uses a simplified measurement method to provide loss provision based on the amount equivalent to lifetime expected credit losses.
For a financial asset other than those described above using the simplified measurement method, the Company assesses whether its credit risk has increased significantly since the initial recognition on each balance sheet date. If its credit risk has not increased significantly since the initial recognition, representing stage 1, the loss provision is made at an amount equivalent to 12-month expected credit losses, and the interest income is measured by the carrying amount and the effective interest rate; if its credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognition but not credit-impaired, representing stage 2, the loss provision is made at an amount equivalent to lifetime expected credit losses, and the interest income is measured by the carrying amount and the effective interest rate; if the financial asset is credit-impaired after initial recognition, representing stage 3, the loss provision is made at an amount equivalent to lifetime expected credit losses, and the interest income is measured by the amortized cost and the effective interest rate.
The Company assesses the expected credit losses of financial instruments based on individual items and groups. The Company considers the credit risk characteristics of different customers and assesses the expected credit losses of accounts receivable, receivables financing, notes receivable, other receivables and long-term accounts receivables based on the aging groups.
For accounts receivable classified as groups, a bad debt provision is required in full or in part when there is conclusive evidence that the receivables are uncollectible or have a low probability of collection, such as bankruptcy of the debtor, death of the debtor, insolvency, inability to recover the payment through litigation or collection, and severe cash flow deficiency. In addition, the Company measures the bad debt provision based on the lifetime expected credit losses at the end of each quarter. The Company classifies the risk characteristics of accounts receivable into two groups as follows:
Level 1 group, i.e. the low-risk group, which includes the related parties of the Group and the subordinate enterprises of large state-owned groups;
Level 2 group, i.e. the medium-risk group, which includes enterprises other than those included in Level 1 group.
The Company assesses the above two levels of accounts receivable groups separately using the expected credit loss model, and the expected credit loss rate is detailed in Note V.3 to the financial statements in the Audit Report issued by Ernst & Young. 1-1-327
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
Refer to Note VIII.3 to the financial statements in the Audit Report issued by Ernst & Young for the disclosures regarding the Company’s criteria for determining a significant increase in credit risk, the definition of the credit-impaired financial assets, and the assumption for measuring expected credit losses.
When the Company no longer reasonably expects to be able to fully or partially recover the contractual cash flows of a financial asset, the Company writes down the carrying amount of the financial asset directly.
6. Offsetting of financial instruments
Financial assets and financial liabilities are offset and the net amount is reported in the balance sheet if there is a currently enforceable legal right to offset the recognized amounts and there is an intention to settle on the net basis, or to realize the assets and settle the liabilities simultaneously.
7. Transfer of financial assets
The financial asset is derecognized if the Company transfers substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset to transferee; and the financial asset is not derecognized if the Company retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset.
If the Company neither transfers nor retains substantially all the risks and rewards of ownership of the financial asset, the transaction is accounted for as follows: if the Company has not retained control, the financial asset is derecognized and any resulting assets or liabilities are recognized; or if the Company has retained control, the financial asset is recognized to the extent of its continuing involvement in the transferred financial asset and an associated liability is recognized accordingly.
(V) Inventories
Inventories include raw materials, work-in-process, semi-finished products, goods in stock and goods transferred out.
Inventories are initially measured at cost. Cost of inventories comprises purchase costs, processing costs and other costs. The actual cost of inventories transferred out is determined by using the weighted average method.
The Company adopts a perpetual inventory system.
1-1-328
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
At the balance sheet date, inventories are measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. If the cost of inventories is higher than the net realizable value, a provision for decline in value of inventories is recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. If factors that previously resulted in the provision for decline in value of inventories no longer exist so that the net realizable value of inventories is higher than their carrying amounts, the amount of the write-down is reversed. The reversal is limited to the amount originally provided for the provision for the decline in value of inventories, and is recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. Provision for decline in value of inventories is made for auxiliary materials, semi-finished products and finished goods aged more than one year, while a separate provision is made for separately identified deteriorated, damaged or unusable inventories.
Net realizable value is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business deducted by the estimated costs to completion, the estimated selling expenses and the related taxes. Provision for decline in values of inventories is made on the basis of individual inventory items/categories for raw materials and finished goods.
1. Specific method for the provision for inventory depreciation:
The Issuer made a full provision for inventory depreciation on auxiliary materials aged more than one year, a net realizable value test for semi-finished and finished products aged more than one year if they have been purchased by other internal companies for use as the main material for production, and a full provision for inventory depreciation if they have not been purchased by other internal companies for use as the main material for production, according to the respective inventory categories in the accounts. In addition, the Issuer and its subsidiaries made a provision for inventory depreciation on other inventories based on the net realizable value test.
2. Method and basis for determining the net realizable value:
(1) Since the Issuer has made a full provision for inventory depreciation for auxiliary materials aged more than one year as well as semi-finished and finished products aged more than one year that have not been purchased by other internal companies for use as the main material for production, no further net realizable value test shall be performed for these inventories.
(2) The specific methods for determining the net realizable value of GaAs, InP, germanium polycrystals, single crystal and substrates classified as semi-finished products and unfinished products are as follows: for single crystals, the proportion of the current production input amount to the total substrate cost is used to determine the proportion of single crystal stage completion, and then the amount is recognized based on the ex-tax selling price of the substrate around the balance sheet date, less the estimated costs to be incurred from single crystal processing to the substrate, the possible selling expenses and related taxes. For polycrystals, the proportion of the current production input amount to the total single crystal cost is used to determine the proportion of polycrystalline stage completion, and then the proportion of single crystal stage completion is determined based on the aforementioned method, and then the amount is recognized based on the ex-tax selling price of the substrate around the balance sheet date, less the estimated costs to be incurred from polycrystalline to single crystal and from single crystal to substrate, possible selling expenses and related taxes.
(3) For GaAs, InP and germanium substrates classified as unfinished products, the cost to be incurred to completion is estimated based on the approximate production volume of the processes in which they are used. The amount is recognized based on the ex-tax selling price around the balance sheet date, less the estimated costs to be incurred to completion, possible selling expenses and related taxes. 1-1-329
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
(4) For GaAs, InP and germanium substrates classified as finished products, the amount is recognized based on the ex-tax selling prices around the balance sheet date, less possible selling expenses and related taxes.
(5) Please refer to the above method for PBN-related products and high-purity metals and compounds, etc.
(VI) Long-term equity investments
Long-term equity investments include equity investments in subsidiaries, joint ventures and associates.
A long-term equity investment is recorded at its initial investment cost on acquisition. For a long-term equity investment acquired through a business combination involving entities under common control, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the acquirer’s share of the carrying amount of acquiree’s equity at the combination date in the consolidated financial statements of ultimate holding party; the difference between the initial investment cost and the carrying amount of the consideration paid for the combination shall be adjusted to capital surplus (if the capital surplus is not sufficient to absorb the difference, any excess shall be adjusted against retained earnings). The other comprehensive income before the combination date is accounted for in the disposal of such investment under the same accounting basis applied by the acquiree in direct disposal of relevant assets and liabilities. The shareholders’ equity recognized due to acquiree’s changes other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and distribution of profits is recognized in the profit or loss for the current period during disposal of such investment. If the investment remains to be classified as long-term equity investment after disposal, the equity is carried forward on a pro rata basis. If the investment is reclassified as financial instruments after disposal, the equity is carried forward entirely. For a long-term equity investment through a business combination not involving entities under common control, the initial investment cost of the long-term equity investment is the cost of combination (for a business combination not involving entities under common control achieved in stages that involves multiple transactions, the initial investment cost is carried at the aggregate of the carrying amount of the acquirer’s previously held equity interest in the acquiree and the new investment cost incurred on the acquisition date). The cost of combination is the aggregate of the fair values of the assets given, liabilities incurred or assumed, and equity securities issued by the acquirer. Other comprehensive income recognized using equity method before the acquisition date should be accounted for in the disposal of such investment under the same accounting basis applied by the acquiree in direct disposal of relevant assets and liabilities. The shareholders’ equity recognized due to acquiree’s changes other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and distribution of profits is recognized in the profit or loss for the current period during disposal of such investment. If the investment remains to be classified as long-term equity investment after disposal, the equity is carried forward on a pro rata basis. If the investment is reclassified as financial instruments after disposal, the equity is carried forward entirely. For a long-term equity investment acquired other than through a business combination, the initial investment cost is determined as follows: for a long-term equity investment acquired by paying cash, the initial investment cost is the actual purchase price paid and those costs, taxes and other necessary expenditures directly attributable to the acquisition of the long-term equity investment; for a long-term equity investment acquired by the issue of equity securities, the initial investment cost is the fair value of the securities issued.
For a long-term equity investment where the Company can exercise control over the investee, the long-term investment is accounted for using the cost method in the Company’s individual financial statements. Control is the power over an investee. An investor must have exposure or rights to variable returns from its involvement with the investee, and the ability to use its power over the investee to affect the amount of the investor’s returns.
Under the cost method, the long-term equity investment is measured at its initial investment cost. The cost of long-term equity investment is adjusted if capital is contributed or withdrawn. The cash dividend or profit distribution declared by the investee is recognized as investment income for the period. 1-1-330
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
The equity method is adopted when the Company has joint control, or exercises significant influence on the investee. Joint control is the contractually agreed sharing of control of an arrangement, which exists only when decisions about the relevant activities require the unanimous consent of the parties sharing control. Significant influence is the power to participate in the financial and operating policy decisions of the investee but is not control or joint control with other parties over the formulation of those policies.
Under the equity method, where the initial investment cost of a long-term equity investment exceeds the investor’s interest in the fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the investment date, the long-term equity investment is measured at the initial investment cost. Where the initial investment cost is less than the investor’s interest in the fair values of the investee’s identifiable net assets at the investment date, the difference is charged to the profit or loss for the current period, and the cost of the long-term equity investment is adjusted accordingly.
Under the equity method, the Company recognizes its share of the net profits or losses and other comprehensive income made by the investee as investment income or losses and other comprehensive income respectively, and adjusts the carrying amount of the investment accordingly. The Company recognizes its share of the investee’s net profits or losses after making appropriate adjustments to the investee’s net profits based on the fair value of the investee’s identifiable assets at the acquisition date, using the Company’s accounting policies and periods, and eliminating the portion of the profits or losses arising from internal transactions with its joint ventures and associates, attributable to the investing entity according to its share ratio (but impairment losses for assets arising from internal transactions shall be recognized in full), except for the disposal of assets that consist of operations. The carrying amount of the investment is reduced based on the Company’s share of any profit distributions or cash dividends declared by the investee. The Company’s share of net losses of the investee is recognized to the extent that the carrying amount of the investment together with any long-term interests that in substance form part of its net investment in the investee is reduced to zero, except that the Company has the obligations to assume additional losses. The Company adjusts the carrying amount of the long-term equity investment for any changes in shareholders’ equity of the investee (other than net profits or losses, other comprehensive income, and profit distribution) and includes the corresponding adjustments in the shareholders’ equity.
On disposal of a long-term equity investment, the difference between the proceeds actually received and the carrying amount is recognized in the profit or loss for the current period; for a long-term equity investment ceased to be accounted for using the equity method on disposal, the other comprehensive income originally accounted for using the equity method is accounted for under the same accounting basis applied by the acquiree in direct disposal of relevant assets and liabilities. The shareholders’ equity recognized due to acquiree’s changes other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and distribution of profits is recognized in the profit or loss for the current period in full; for a long-term equity investment remains to be accounted for using the equity method, the other comprehensive income originally accounted for using the equity method is accounted for under the same accounting basis applied by the acquiree in direct disposal of relevant assets and liabilities, and is transferred to the profit or loss for the current period according to the proportion disposed of. The shareholders’ equity recognized due to acquiree’s changes other than net profit or loss, other comprehensive income and distribution of profits is transferred to the profit or loss for the current period on a pro-rata basis.
(VII) Fixed assets
A fixed asset is recognized only when the economic benefits associated with the asset will probably flow into the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Subsequent expenditure incurred for a fixed asset that meets the recognition criteria shall be included in the cost of the fixed asset, and the carrying amount of the component of the fixed asset that is replaced shall be derecognized. Otherwise, such expenditure shall be recognized in the profit or loss for the current period in which it is incurred. 1-1-331
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
Fixed assets are initially measured at cost. The cost of a purchased fixed asset comprises the purchase price, relevant taxes and other expenditure that directly attributable to the asset and incurred before bringing the asset to working condition for intended use.
Depreciation is calculated using the straight-line method. The useful lives, estimated residual value rates and annual depreciation rates of each category of fixed assets are presented as follows:
| Category of fixed assets | Useful life | Estimated residual value rate | Annual depreciation rate |
|---|---|---|---|
| Buildings | 20 years | 0.00% | 5.00% |
| Machinery and equipment | 5-20 years | 0.00% | 5.00%-20.00% |
| Tools and instruments | 3-5 years | 0.00% | 20.00%-33.33% |
| Transportation | 4-5 years | 0.00% | 20.00%-25.00% |
| Office equipment | 5 years | 0.00% | 20.00% |
Fixed assets held under a finance lease are depreciated on a basis consistent with the depreciation policy adopted for fixed assets that are self-owned. When a leased asset can be reasonably determined that its ownership will be transferred at the end of the lease term, it is depreciated over its estimated useful life; otherwise, the leased asset is depreciated over the shorter period of the lease term and its estimated useful life. (Applicable until 1 January 2021)
The Company reviews the useful life, estimated net residual value of a fixed asset, and the depreciation method applied at least at each financial year-end, and makes adjustments if necessary.
(VIII) Construction–in-progress
The cost of construction–in-progress is determined according to the actual expenditure incurred for the construction, including all necessary construction expenditure incurred during the construction period and other relevant expenses.
Construction–in-progress is transferred to fixed assets when the asset is ready for its intended use.
(IX) Right-of-use assets (applicable starting from 1 January 2021)
The Company’s right-of-use assets consist primarily of machinery and equipment.
At the commencement date of the lease, the Company recognizes its right to use the leased assets over the lease term as a right-of-use asset. The cost of the right-of-use asset comprises: the amount of the initial measurement of the lease liability; any lease payments made at or before the commencement date of the lease less any lease incentives received (if any); any initial direct cost incurred by the lessee; and an estimate of costs incurred by the lessee in dismantling and removing the underlying asset, restoring the site on which it is located or restoring the underlying asset to the condition required by the terms and conditions of the lease. The right-of-use assets are depreciated on a straight-line basis subsequently by the Company. If the Company is reasonably certain that the ownership of the underlying asset will be transferred to the Company at the end of the lease term, the Company depreciates the asset over their remaining useful lives. Otherwise, the Company depreciates the assets over the shorter of the lease term or the remaining useful life of the leased asset. 1-1-332

When the Company remeasures the lease liability at the present value of the changed lease payments and adjusts the carrying amount of the right-of-use assets accordingly, if the carrying amount of the right-of-use asset is reduced to zero but the lease liability still needs to be further reduced, the Company recognizes the remaining amount in the profit or loss for the current period.
(X) Intangible assets
An intangible asset shall be recognized only when it is probable that the economic benefits associated with the asset will flow to the Company and the cost of the asset can be measured reliably. Intangible assets are measured initially at cost. However, intangible assets acquired in a business combination not involving entities under common control with a fair value that can be measured reliably are recognized separately as intangible assets and measured at fair value.
The useful life of an intangible asset is determined according to the period over which it is expected to generate economic benefits for the Company. An intangible asset is regarded as having an indefinite useful life when there is no foreseeable limit to the period over which the asset is expected to generate economic benefits for the Company.
The useful lives of the intangible assets are as follows:
| Category of fixed assets | Useful life |
|---|---|
| Land use rights | 50 years |
| Software | 10 years |
| Patent rights | 6 years |
Land use rights that are acquired by the Company are usually accounted for as intangible assets. For buildings such as plants that are developed and constructed by the Company, the relevant land use rights and buildings are accounted for as intangible assets and fixed assets, respectively. Payments for the land and buildings purchased are allocated between the land use rights and the buildings; if the payments cannot be reasonably allocated, all of the land use rights and buildings are accounted for as fixed assets.
An intangible asset with a finite useful life is amortized using the straight-line method over its useful life. For an intangible asset with a finite useful life, the Company reviews its useful life and the amortization method at least at each financial year-end and makes adjustment if necessary.
The Company has no intangible assets with indefinite useful lives.
The Company classifies the expenditure on an internal research and development project into expenditure on the research phase and expenditure on the development phase. Expenditure on the research phase is recognized in the profit or loss for the current period in which it is incurred. Expenditure on the development phase is capitalized when the Company can demonstrate all of the following: the technical feasibility of completing the intangible asset so that it will be available for use or sale; the intention to complete the intangible asset and use or sell it; how the intangible asset will generate economic benefits. Among other things, the Company can demonstrate the existence of a market for the output of the intangible asset or the intangible asset itself or, if it is to be used internally, the usefulness of the intangible asset; the availability of adequate technical, financial and other resources to complete the development and the ability to use or sell the intangible asset; and its ability to measure reliably the expenditure attributable to the intangible asset during its development phase. Expenditure on the 1-1-333
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
development phase that does not meet the above criteria is recognized in the profit or loss for the current period in which it is incurred.
(XI) Impairment of assets
The Company determines the impairment of assets, other than the impairment of inventories, deferred income taxes and financial assets, using the following methods:
The Company assesses at the balance sheet date whether there is any indication that an asset may be impaired. If any indication exists that an asset may be impaired, the Company will estimate the recoverable amount of the asset and perform a test for impairment. Goodwill arising from a business combination and an intangible asset with an indefinite useful life is tested for impairment at least at each year-end, irrespective of whether there is any indication that the asset may be impaired. Intangible assets that have not been ready for intended use are also tested for impairment each year.
The recoverable amount of an asset is the higher of its fair value less costs to sell and the present value of the future cash flows expected to be derived from the asset. The Company estimates the recoverable amount on an individual basis. If it is not possible to estimate the recoverable amount of the individual asset, the Company determines the recoverable amount of the asset group to which the asset belongs. Identification of an asset group is based on whether major cash inflows generated by the asset group are largely independent of the cash inflows from other assets or asset groups.
When the recoverable amount of an asset or asset group is less than its carrying amount, the carrying amount is reduced to the recoverable amount. The reduction in carrying amount is treated as impairment loss and recognized in the profit or loss for the current period. A provision for impairment loss of the asset is recognized accordingly.
Once the above impairment loss is recognized, it cannot be reversed in the subsequent accounting periods.
(XII) Share-based payments
A share-based payment is classified as either an equity-settled share-based payment or a cash-settled share-based payment. An equity-settled share-based payment is a transaction in which the Company receives services with shares or other equity instruments as consideration for settlement.
An equity-settled share-based payment in exchange for services received from employees is measured at the fair value of the equity instruments granted to the employees. If such equity-settled share-based payment could vest immediately, related costs or expenses at an amount equal to the fair value on the grant date are recognized, with a corresponding increase in capital reserve; if such equity-settled share-based payment could not vest until the completion of services for a vesting period, or until the achievement of a specified performance condition, the Company, at each balance sheet date during the vesting period, recognizes the services received for the current period as related costs and expenses, with a corresponding increase in capital reserve, at an amount equal to the fair value of the equity instruments at the grant date, based on the best estimate of the number of equity instruments expected to vest. The fair value of equity instruments is determined by the Black-Scholes model, the discounted cash flow approach and the binomial tree approach. See Note 11 to the Financial Statement of the Auditor’s Report issued by Ernst & Young.
For share-based payments that do not ultimately vest because non-market performance and/or service conditions have not been met, no cost or expense is recognized. Where the share-based payment agreements include market or non-vesting conditions, the transactions shall be treated as vesting irrespective of whether the market or non-vesting conditions are satisfied, provided that all other performance and/or service conditions are satisfied. 1-1-334
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
Where the terms of an equity-settled share-based payment are modified, the services received shall be recognized at least based on the terms that had not been modified. In addition, an increase in services received shall be recognized for any modification that increases the fair value of the equity instruments granted, or is otherwise beneficial to the employee at the date of modification.
Where an equity-settled share-based payment is cancelled, it is treated as if it had been vested on the date of cancellation, and the unrecognized amount shall be recognized immediately. If employees or other parties are able to elect to satisfy the non-vesting conditions but fail to do so during the waiting period, it is treated as a cancellation of an equity-settled share-based payment. However, if a new equity instrument is granted and it is determined on the grant date that the instrument is intended to replace the cancelled equity instrument, the equity instrument granted for replacement is treated in the same manner as the modification of the terms and conditions of the original equity instrument.
(XIIII) Contract assets and contract liabilities (applicable starting from 1 January 2020)
1. Contract assets
A contract asset is the right to consideration in exchange for goods or services that the Company has transferred to a customer, and the right is conditional upon something other than the passage of time.
2. Contract liabilities
A contract liability is the obligation to transfer goods or services to a customer for which the Company has received consideration or an amount of consideration is due from the customer, such as an amount of consideration that an entity has received before the transfer of the promised goods or services.
(XIV) Revenue
1. Revenue from contracts with customers (applicable starting from 1 January 2020)
The Company recognizes revenue when the performance obligation under the contract is satisfied, i.e. when the customer obtains the control of the relevant goods or services. Obtaining the control of the relevant goods or services means being able to dominate the use of the goods or the provision of the services and obtain substantially all of the economic benefits therefrom.
1-1-335
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
(1) Contracts for the sales of goods
The Company’s contract with customers for sales of goods generally includes only the performance obligation for the transfer of compound semiconductor substrate materials, pyrolytic boron nitride (PBN) crucibles, high-purity metals and compounds, and other goods. The Company generally recognizes revenue at the point in time when customers obtain the control of the relevant goods based on the following considerations: a present right to payment for the goods, the transfer of the significant risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of the goods, the transfer of the legal title of the goods, the transfer of physical assets of the goods and the customer’s acceptance of the goods.
The Company recognizes revenue from product sales when the products are delivered to the agreed delivery location in accordance with the contract, the product delivery obligation is completed, the products are accepted by the customer or the customer receives and consumes them.
(2) Contracts for the rendering of services
The contract for the rendering of services between the Company and its customers typically include a performance obligation to deliver the crucible at a specified location after repair, which the Company treats as a performance obligation to be performed at a point in time and recognizes revenue when the subject property is delivered to the specified location.
(3) Warranty obligations
In accordance with contractual agreements and regulations of laws, the Company provides warranty for the goods sold. For the warranty that guarantees to customers that the goods sold meet the established standards, the Company accounts for it in accordance with Note III.20 to the financial statements in the Audit Report issued by Ernst & Young. For the warranty that provides a separate service in addition to the guarantee to the customer that the goods sold meet the established standards, the Company treats it as a single performance obligation and apportions a portion of the transaction price to the warranty based on the relative proportion of the separate selling prices of the goods and warranty provided, and recognizes revenue when the customer obtains control of the service. In assessing whether the warranty provides a separate service in addition to the guarantee to the customer that the goods sold meet established standards, the Company considers factors such as whether the warranty is a statutory requirement, the duration of the warranty, and the nature of the task committed to perform by the Company.
2. Revenue (applicable until 1 January 2020)
Revenue is recognized when it’s probable that the economic benefits will flow to the Company, the amount can be reliably measured, and the following conditions have been met:
(1) Revenue from sales of goods
Revenue is recognized when the Company has transferred all the significant risks and rewards incidental to the ownership of goods to the buyer and no longer reserved any right to continue to manage and implement effective control which is often associated with the ownership of the goods, and the costs incurred or to be incurred can be measured reliably. The amount of revenue from sales of goods is determined in accordance with the consideration received or receivable from the buyer under contract or agreement, except where the consideration received or receivable under contract or agreement is not fair. Where the consideration receivable under contract or agreement 1-1-336
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
is deferred, such that the arrangement is in substance of a financing nature, the amount of revenue from sales of goods is measured at the fair value of the consideration receivable under contract or agreement.
(2) Revenue from rendering of services
The Company’s revenue from rendering of services is recognized when the services are completed and delivered to the customer. Total revenue from rendering of services is determined on the basis of the consideration received or receivable from the recipient of services under contract or agreement, except where the consideration received or receivable under contract or agreement is not fair.
(3) Lease revenue
Rental income from an operating lease is recognized as the profit or loss for the current period on a straight-line basis over the lease term, and variable lease payments that are not included in the lease receipts are recognized in the profit or loss for the current period when they are actually incurred.
(4) Interest income
The calculation is determined based on the time when the other party uses the cash and bank balance of the Company and the effective interest rate.
3. Specific recognition principles for the Company’s revenue
The Company’s revenue is divided into revenue from sales of product goods (including direct sales and agency sales) and revenue from rendering of services, and the specific revenue recognition principles under different categories and sales models are as follows:
(1) Specific recognition principles for revenue from sales of product goods
For domestic customers, the Company adopts direct sales. The Company arrives and delivers the products to the customer according to the contract, at which time the Company has transferred the risk, reward and control of the goods to the customer. The Company is entitled to the present right to payments for the goods and recognizes the revenue based on the logistic sign-off records.
For direct sales to foreign customers, the Company ships goods according to the following requirements in the order:
1) Under FOB and CIF as agreed in the order, revenue is recognized based on the date of export recorded in the customs declaration after the shipment of the goods is completed and the relevant customs clearance procedures are completed;
2) Under CIP, DAP, DDU and other models as agreed in the order or under no agreement in the order, revenue is recognized when the goods are shipped to the location specified by the customer;
3) For sales of an overseas subsidiary, the Company arrives and delivers the product to the customer according to the contract, at which time the Company has transferred control of the goods to the customer. The Company is entitled to the present right to payments for the goods and recognizes the revenue based on the logistic sign-off records;
4) Based on the zero inventory management of some customers, they agree with the Company that when the products arrive at their designated locations and are claimed by them, control of the goods is transferred to the 1-1-337
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
customer. The Company is entitled to the present right to payments for the goods and recognizes the revenue from sales of goods.
5) The individual customer agrees with the Company that it acts as the Company’s trader in certain areas, and after it purchases the Company’s products and completes sales to its downstream customers, control of the goods is transferred and the Company recognizes the revenue from sales of goods.
For agency sales, the Company signs sales contracts directly with the relevant customers and ships the products directly to the customers, and pays commissions to the agents in accordance with the types of products it sells as an agent and the pre-agreed commission rate. Its revenue recognition time is same as that related to items 1 to 3 under the direct sales model.
(2) Specific recognition principles for revenue from rendering of services
During the reporting period, the services provided by the Company include commissioned processing business and crucible precision regeneration services. The Company recognizes revenue when the products formed by the services provided arrive and are delivered to customers, or when the shipment is completed and the relevant customs clearance procedures are completed, or when the products are transported to the location designated by customers, and the point of recognition is same as the point of sale of its own goods.
4. Impact of the New Revenue Standard
On 5 July 2017, the MOF issued the Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 14 — Revenue (Revised in 2017) (Cai Kuai [2017] No. 22) (hereinafter referred to as “New Revenue Standard”). In accordance with the provisions of the CSRC’s Questions and Answers on Matters Related to the Implementation of the New Revenue Standard for Initial Public Offering Applicants, the Issuer intends to implement the New Revenue Standard with effect from 1 January 2020. Under the New Revenue Standard, the sale of goods and transportation services incurred in connection with the sale of goods are combined into one performance obligation. Therefore, the transportation costs were reclassified from selling expenses to cost of main business for 2020 and 2021, and no retrospective adjustment was made for 2019.
The Company’s existing business model, contract terms and revenue recognition meet the relevant requirements and specifications of the New Revenue Standard. Except for the above reclassification adjustments, the implementation of the New Revenue Standard will not cause material changes to the specific revenue recognition principles of the Issuer, and therefore has no material impact on the financial statements.
(XV) Government grants
Government grant is recognized when the conditions attached to it can be met and it can be received. If a government grant is a monetary asset, it is measured at the amount received or receivable, otherwise it is measured at fair value; if the fair value is not reliably determinable, it is measured at a nominal amount.
If the government grant is used for constructing or forming long-term assets as stipulated in government documents, the government grant is recognized as a government grant related to assets. If it’s not clearly stated in government documents, the fundamental conditions attached to the
1-1-338
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
grant should be the criterion for judgments. If the fundamental conditions attached to the grant are to construct or form long-term assets, the government grant is recognized as a government grant related to assets. Otherwise, the government grant is recognized as a government grant related to income.
A government grant related to income is accounted for as follows: if the grant is a compensation for related costs, expenses or losses to be incurred in subsequent periods, it is recognized as deferred income, and recognized in the profit or loss over the period in which the related costs, expenses or losses are recognized; if the grant is a compensation for related costs, expenses or losses already incurred, it is recognized immediately in the profit or loss for the current period.
A government grant related to assets is recognized as deferred income, and reasonably and systematically amortized to the profit or loss over the useful life of the related asset. However, a government grant measured at a nominal amount is recognized immediately in the profit or loss for the current period. If a related asset has been sold, transferred, scrapped or damaged before the end of its useful life, the unamortized deferred income shall be recognized in the profit or loss in the period of disposal.
(XVI) Safety production funds
Safety production funds provided according to the regulations are included in costs of related products or profit or loss, and credited to the special reserve. They are treated differently when being utilized: the special reserve is offset against for those attributable to the expense nature; the cumulative expenditures are recognized as a fixed asset for those attributable to the fixed asset nature when the working condition for the intended use is reached, and at the same time, the special reserve is offset against with the full depreciation recognized at the same amount.
(XVII) Changes in accounting policies and estimates
1. Changes in accounting policies
(12) New Revenue Standard
In 2017, the MOF issued the revised Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 14 — Revenue (the “New Revenue Standard”). The Company applied the above-mentioned revised standard in accounting with effect from 1 January 2020. According to the transitional rules, no adjustment was made to the information in comparable periods, and the difference arising from the initial application of the new standard as compared with the existing standard was retrospectively adjusted to the retained earnings at the beginning of the current period (i.e.1 January 2020).
The New Revenue Standard establishes a new revenue recognition model for regulating revenue from contracts with customers. Under the New Revenue Standard, the revenue recognition method should reflect how the entity transfers goods or provides services to customers, and the amount of revenue should reflect the amount of consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled as a result of the transfer of those goods or services to customers. Also, the New Revenue Standard regulates the judgments and estimates required for each step of revenue recognition. 1-1-339
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
Upon initial application of the New Revenue Standard, the Company’s adjustments to the relevant items in the financial statements at the beginning of the year when the New Revenue Standard is applied for the first time were as follows:
In RMB
| Item | Under the New Revenue Standard | Under the original standard | Adjustments | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | 1 January 2020 | 31 December 2019 | | ||
| Liabilities: | |||||
| Contract liabilities | 807,569.97 | - | 807,569.97 | ||
| Other current liabilities | 104,984.10 | - | 104,984.10 | ||
| Accounts received in advance | - | 912,554.07 | -912,554.07 |
(2) New Lease Standard
In 2018, the MOF issued the revised Accounting Standard for Business Enterprises No. 21 — Leases (the “New Lease Standard”), which adopts a single model similar to the existing accounting for finance leases and requires lessees to recognize right-of-use assets and lease liabilities for all leases other than short-term leases and leases of low-value assets, and to recognize depreciation and interest expense separately. The Company applied the revised lease standard with effect from 1 January 2021. According to the transitional rules, no adjustment was made to the information in comparable periods, and the difference arising from the initial application of the new standard as compared with the existing standard was retrospectively adjusted to the retained earnings at the beginning of 2021.
1-1-340
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
The Company applies simplified accounting to operating leases where the lease assets are low-value assets prior to the date of initial application or where the operating leases will be completed within 12 months, and no right-of-use assets and lease liabilities are recognized.
In addition, cash paid for repayment of principal and interest on lease liabilities is included in cash outflows from financing activities in the statement of cash flows from the date of initial application, and payments made under short-term leases and low-value asset leases using simplified accounting and variable lease payments not included in the measurement of lease liabilities are still included in cash outflows from operating activities.
The main effects of the retrospective adjustments arising from this change in accounting policy on the financial statements are as follows:
In RMB

|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2021 | ||||

During the reporting period, the Company’s InP substrate and GaAs substrate recorded a rapid growth, while germanium substrate was relatively stable. Average unit prices of substrate materials were mainly affected by a combination of factors such as changes in the size and structure of products, customers’ requirements for product parameters and fluctuations in raw material prices.
During the reporting period, InP substrates realized revenues of RMBRMB109,711,600, RMB127,536,300 and RMB281,791,500, respectively.
The significant growth in 2021 was mainly for the shortage in product supply due to the increase in the global demand for downstream optical chips, optical module epitaxy parts and devices with the growth in the global demand for downstream optical chips, optical module epitaxy parts and devices and other products; thus, as the world’s second largest InP supplier, the Company increased the sales prices appropriately. On the other hand, from March 2021 on, AXT-Tongmei integrated its overseas sales business. In May 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei. The Company then directly faces end customers, resulting in a significant growth in the unit price. In addition, with the large-scale deployment of 5G base station construction coupled with changes in the network structure of 5G base stations, the demand for optical modules has increased, and with the popularity of 5G mobile phones, the sales of InP substrates have also increased by 26.26%.
During the reporting period, GaAs substrate realized revenues of RMBRMB179,877,400, RMB235,367,900 and RMB255,474,600, respectively. The increase in revenue for the year ended 31 December 2020 was mainly due to the increase in unit price, which was due to the increase in price of gallium, a kind of main raw material, and the increase in percentage of sales of large-size products. The data in 2021 remained relatively stable on a year-on-year basis.
During the reporting period, germanium substrates realized revenues of RMB77,226,200, RMBRMB80,556,300 and RMB89,485,700, respectively.

| Total | 85,734.52 | 100.00% | 58,317.04 | 100.00% | 46,222.68 | 100.00% |
For each period of the reporting period, no obvious seasonal characteristic was presented for sales revenue of the Company, and the Company’s revenue showed an upward trend in each quarter since the second half of 2019 with the rapid rise of market demands.
5. Cash transactions and third-party repayments
During the reporting period, the Company had a small amount of cash sales and purchases. During the reporting period, the Company received cash payments for goods amounting to RMBRMB0, RMB19,600 and RMB16,500, 1-1-354

| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
respectively, mainly due to sales of scrap; the Company paid cash payments for goods amounting to RMBRMB595,500, RMB433,600 and RMB15,900, respectively, mainly due to sporadic purchases of low-value consumables. The Company’s cash transactions in each period were reasonable as they involved a small amount of cash and were supported by real business background.
In March 2021, AXT-Tongmei took the overseas sales business and relevant customers from AXT. In May 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei. During the business handover, there were cases where both AXT-Tongmei and AXT had amounts receivable from the same customer. Due to factors such as the payment system of overseas customers, such customers may make payment only to a single entity. As a result, there were cases where AXT received amounts on behalf of the Company. As of September 2021, such amounts received were RMB10.2483 million, which accounted for a small proportion in the revenues and were commercially reasonable.
The Company does not have such cases since October 2021.

3. Material costs, labor costs and manufacturing costs under the cost of main business
During the reporting period, the composition of cost of main business of the Company by direct material costs, direct labor costs and manufacturing costs was as follows:
In RMB0’000
| Item | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | ||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Amount | Percentage | Amount | Percentage | Amount | Percentage | |
| Direct material costs | 14,706.9831,148.82 | 56.3555.89% | 20,628.97 | 47.62% | 16,790.02 | 45.09% | |
| Direct labor costs | 1,933.984,141.97 | 7.4143% | 4,264.90 | 9.84% | 3,934.48 | 10.57% | |
| Manufacturing costs | 9,456.4220,441.66 | 36.2468% | 18,428.35 | 42.54% | 16,515.81 | 44.35% | |
| Total | 26,097.3855,732.45 | 100.00% | 43,322.22 | 100.00% | 37,240.31 | 100.00% |
During the reporting period, direct material costs amounted to RMBRMB167,900,200, RMB206,289,700 and RMB311,488,200, respectively, accounting for 45.09%, 47.62% and 55.89% of the cost of main business. The amount and percentage increased with the rise of revenue from semiconductor substrate materials and high-purity metals and compounds. Significant increase in percentage for 2021 was mainly due to the following factors: on the one hand, the significant increase in purchase unit price of gallium and the rising demand of downstream customers led to the rapid increase in revenue and percentage of high-purity gallium, gallium oxide and other products, and its direct material costs accounted for about 90%, resulting in a large increase in the percentage of comprehensive direct material costs; on the other hand, after the Company relocated some production lines to Chaoyang, Liaoning and Baoding, Hebei, its labor costs and gas power costs were reduced, and the scale effect has been achieved with the gradual recovery of production capacity; the decrease in direct labor costs and manufacturing costs also led to an increase in the percentage of direct materials costs. In addition, the purchase price of boron trichloride and graphite increased, resulting in the increase in the amount and percentage of direct material costs.
During the reporting period, direct labor costs amounted to RMBRMB39,344,800, RMB42,649,000 and RMB41,419,700, respectively, with an overall increase in line with the increase in production personnel. Direct labor costs accounted for 10.57%, 9.84% and 7.43% of the cost of main business, decreasing year on year, which was mainly due to the decrease in salaries in Baoding and Chaoyang, Liaoning where the Company re-recruited production personnel after the relocation of production line during the reporting period. In addition, with the gradual recovery and
1-1-357

| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
expansion of production capacity, the scale effect gradually manifested, which led to the decrease in percentage of direct labor costs.
During the reporting period, manufacturing costs amounted to RMB165,158,100, RMB184,283,500 and RMB204,416,600, respectively. The amounts increased with the investment of fixed assets and the increase of supporting staff. Manufacturing costs accounted for 44.35%, 42.54% and 36.68% of the cost of main business, respectively. The larger decrease for 2021 was mainly due to the decrease in labor costs and gas power costs after completion of the relocation of the Company, as well as the release of production capacity.
(III) Analysis of gross profit and gross profit margin
1. Analysis of gross profit and gross profit margin
During the reporting period, the gross profit and gross profit margin of the Company were as follows:

1) Business switch
Since March 2021, AXT transferred its business and customers of overseas semiconductor substrate materials to AXT-Tongmei. After AXT fulfilled the original orders, the Company no longer had any related-party transactions with AXT; in May 2021, the Company completed the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei. Since the completion of the business switch, the Company has directly faced overseas end customers, and also assumed the corresponding costs and expenses. The unit price and period expenses of the company’s InP substrate have increased. In 2021, the Company’s unit sales price of InP substrates was RMB1,196.06/piece, an increase of 74.98% compared with that in 2020.
In 2021, the average unit price of InP substrates sold by the Company to AXT was RMB662.39/piece. Assuming that the average price of InP substrates sold to overseas customers by the Company’s subsidiary AXT-Tongmei in 2021 was consistent with that of InP substrates sold to AXT before the termination of related-party transactions in the first half of 2021, the impact of the business switch on the gross profit margin of InP substrates 1-1-360
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
in 2021 was 17.67%, basically in line with the increase in the gross profit margin of InP substrate products in 2021. The specific calculation process is as follows:
Unit: 0’000 pieces, RMB/piece & RMB0’000
| Item | 2021 | ||||||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Sales volume | Estimated unit price | Estimated revenue | Cost | Estimated gross profit margin | Gross profit margin | Difference in gross profit margin | ||||
| Internal sales | 9.48 | 1,158.12 | 10,978.98 | 12,844.08 | 36.75% | 54.42% | 17.67% | ||||
| External sales | 14.08 | 662.39 | 9,326.45 | | | | | ||||
| Total | 23.56 | 861.86 | 20,305.43 | | | | |
To sum up, the impact of the business switch on the gross profit margin of InP substrates in 2021 was 17.67%.
2) Change in the sales price
As the market demand increases in downstream 5G communications, data centers and other application fields, as well as the Company’s investment in product R&D and product quality optimization, the overall performance of the Company’s InP substrates has also improved, demonstrated by the lower dislocation density, higher flatness, lower warpage and other aspects. As a result, the overall price of InP substrates has also risen with the increase in the market demand.
Under the premise that the proportion of the sales volume and the unit cost of each size remain unchanged compared with those in the previous year, based on the unit price of each specification sold due to the market demand and changes in specific product orders, the overall current average selling price is calculated, and then the impact of the above selling prices on the gross profit margins in 2020 and 2021 is calculated as follows:
Unit: RMB/piece
1-1-361
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
| Item | 2021 | 2020 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| InP substrate specifications<br><br>(Simulated weighted unit price = sales volume proportion of the previous year × current unit price) | 2-inch ① | 439.25 | 215.38 | |
| | 3-inch ② | 542.63 | 412.27 | |
| | 4-inch ③ | 144.40 | 140.91 | |
| | 6-inch ④ | 2.36 | 0.69 | |
| Estimated average unit price ⑤=①+②+③+④ | 1,128.64 | 769.26 | ||
| Unit cost in the previous year ⑥ | 419.38 | 446.28 | ||
| Estimated gross profit margin ⑦=(⑤-⑥)/⑤ | 62.84% | 41.99% | ||
| Gross profit margin in the previous year ⑧ | 38.64% | 40.65% | ||
| Impact of business switch on gross profit margin ⑨ | 17.67% | - | ||
| Impact of changes in the sales unit price on the gross profit margin ⑩ = ⑦ - ⑧ - ⑨ | 6.53% | 1.34% |
To sum up, according to the calculation, upon exclusion of the impact of change in the product mix and business switch, the unit price changed due to changes in the market demand and customers’ specific downstream applications of products, etc., and then the impact on the gross profit margin in 2020 and 2021 were respectively 1.34% and 6.53%.
3) Change in the sales structure
As at that time, the process maturity and yield rate of large-size products were lower than those of small-size products, and their gross profit margin was lower than that of small-size products, the change in the product sales structure also had a certain impact on the overall gross profit margin. Assuming that the other conditions of the previous year remain unchanged and the calculation is carried out based on the proportion of revenues from each size in the current year, the gross profit margins of InP substrates in 2020 and 2021 were respectively 37.76% and 38.03%. Upon exclusion of the impact of the business switch in 2021, the impact of the change in the product mix on the gross profit margins of InP substrates in 2020 and 2021 were -2.89% and -1.28% respectively.
To sum up, the main reason for the slight decline in the gross profit margin of InP in 2020 is the change in the proportion of the product sales mixture, and the impact in 2021 was small.
4) Production line relocation
Since 2019, the GaAs production line was relocated from Beijing Tongmei to Chaoyang Tongmei and Baoding Tongmei, and the relocation was substantially completed in 2020. Upon the completion of the relocation of the GaAs production line, the GaAs substrate production line would be no longer retained in Beijing, and the original GaAs substrate production personnel were reassigned to the InP and germanium substrate production lines after training.
In 2021, the total number of the foregoing transferred personnel was 210, including 137 reallocated to the InP substrate workshop. Based on the above personnel difference and the average remuneration for Beijing Tongmei’s production personnel in 2020, it is estimated that the impact of the above matters on the gross profit margin of InP substrates in 2021 was -6.24%. 1-1-362

5) About the purchase of raw materials
From the perspective of raw materials, the production of InP substrates mainly consumes InP polycrystals, quartz materials, crucibles for crystal growth (mainly produced from boron trichloride and liquid nitrogen), chemical reagents, packaging materials and other materials. Taking 2021 for example, under the premise that the other conditions remain unchanged, a sensitivity analysis of the 10% and 20% increase (decrease) in the purchase unit price of InP polycrystalline to the cost and gross profit margin of InP substrates in 2021 is as follows:
Unit: RMB0’000
| Item | Unit price of InP polycrystalline | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | +20% | +10% | 0 | -10% | -20% | |
| Revenue from InP substrates | 28,179.15 | 28,179.15 | 28,179.15 | 28,179.15 | 28,179.15 | |
| Cost in InP substrates | 13,067.89 | 12,955.98 | 12,844.08 | 12,732.18 | 12,620.27 | |
| Gross profit margin of InP substrates | 53.63% | 53.98% | 54.42% | 54.86% | 55.29% |
It can be seen from the above table that the fluctuation of the unit purchase price of InP polycrystalline has little impact on the cost and gross profit margin of InP substrates as long as the other conditions remain unchanged.
It is estimated that in 2020 and 2021, the impact of the unit direct material YoY change in InP substrates of the Issuer on the current gross profit margins were -0.75% and -1.17% respectively, with a relatively small impact.
For InP substrates, as the world’s second largest manufacturer in 2020 in terms of the market share, the Company performed excellently in key performance indicators such as dislocation density, resistivity uniformity, flatness and surface granularity, which can meet the performance requirements for semiconductor substrates of data center optical module devices, wearable device sensors and other high-end markets. The
Company has good bargaining ability and room for bargaining, and its gross profit margin is relatively high.
(2) GaAs substrate
During the reporting period, the gross profit margins of GaAs substrates were -9.13%, 8.65% and 25.59% respectively, showing an upward trend year by year, mainly due to the fluctuation in sales prices, change in the sales structure proportion, production line relocation and other factors.

During the reporting period, the overall average unit selling prices of GaAs substrates were RMB378.50/piece, RMB466.33/piece and RMB437.68/piece respectively. The change in sales was mainly affected by changes in the market demand and customer orders, as well as in the sales structure.
Under the premise that the proportion of the sales volume and the unit cost of each size remain unchanged compared with those in the previous year, based on the unit price of each specification sold due to the market demand and changes in specific product orders, the overall current average selling price is calculated, and then the impact of the above selling prices on the gross profit margins in 2020 and 2021 is calculated as follows:
Unit: RMB/piece
| Item | 2021 | 2020 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| GaAs substrate specifications<br><br>(Simulated weighted unit price = sales volume proportion of the previous year × current unit price) | 2-inch ① | 45.01 | 34.38 | |
| | 3-inch ② | 79.11 | 67.34 | |
| | 4-inch ③ | 93.52 | 99.51 | |
| | 6-inch ④ | 179.88 | 229.03 | |
| Estimated average unit price ⑤=①+②+③+④ | 397.52 | 430.26 | ||
| Unit cost in the previous year ⑥ | 426.02 | 413.09 | ||
| Estimated gross profit margin ⑦=(⑤-⑥)/⑤ | -7.17% | 3.99% | ||
| Gross profit margin in the previous year ⑧ | 8.65% | -9.13% | ||
| Impact of changes in the sales unit price on the gross profit margin ⑨ = ⑦ - ⑧ | -15.82% | 13.12% |
To sum up, according to the calculation, upon exclusion of the impact of change in the product mix, the unit price changed due to changes in the market demand and customers’ specific downstream applications of products, etc., and then the impact on the gross profit margin in 2020 and 2021 were respectively 13.12% and -15.82%. The significant decline in 2021 is mainly because the Company focused on the development of the application of 6-inch GaAs in heterojunction bipolar transistors (HBT) in radio frequency devices in the second half of the year, as on the one hand, the product was highly mature, and on the other hand, customers were offered with more favorable prices with the entry into the downstream market.
2) Change in the sales structure
Assuming that the other conditions of the previous year remain unchanged and the calculation is carried out based on the proportion of revenues from each size in the current year, the gross profit margins of GaAs substrates in 2020 and 2021 were respectively -9.13% and 10.39%, and then the impact of the change in the product sales structure on the gross profit margin in 2020 and 2021 was -0.95% and 1.74% respectively, with a relatively a small impact on the whole.
3) Production line relocation
① Increased yield rate
The relocation of the production lines mainly has a significant impact on the cost of GaAs substrates. In 2019, the Company relocated its GaAs substrate production line from Beijing to Chaoyang, Liaoning and Baoding, 1-1-365
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
Hebei, and employed new production staff. In 2019, the new production line was still at the commissioning phase, with a large volume of raw materials consumed. Meanwhile, the original customers also needed to re-verify the new production line successively (the recognition was completed in around the first half of 2019). Under the impact of the production line relocation, in that year, the comprehensive yield rate of GaAs substrates in the crystal growth process was relatively low. The foregoing factors caused the Company’s operating cost to increase. In 2020 and 2021, with the enhancement of production staff’s operating proficiency and the efficiency improvement brought by new equipment, the yield rates of the Company’s GaAs substrate single crystal growth increased by 5.00% and 7.27% respectively.
② Differences in remunerations and unit prices of water and electricity in different regions
The labor cost and water and electricity prices of Baoding, Hebei and Chaoyang, Liaoning are lower than those of Beijing. A comparison of the average salaries for the production staff of Beijing Tongmei, Chaoyang Tongmei and Baoding Tongmei during the reporting period is as follows:
Unit: RMB/person
| Item | Beijing Tongmei | Baoding Tongmei | Chaoyang Tongmei |
|---|---|---|---|
| Monthly average salary | 11,372.47 | 8,414.18 | 8,881.05 |
Assuming that the salaries for the production staff of Baoding Tongmei and Chaoyang Tongmei were the same as those of Beijing Tongmei during the reporting period, the impact of the gross profit margins of the Company’s GaAs substrates were 0.37% in 2020 and 1.81% in 2021 respectively .
A comparison of the average unit prices of water and electricity in Beijing Tongmei, Chaoyang Tongmei and Baoding Tongmei during the reporting period is as follows:
| Item | Unit price of water (RMB yuan/ton) | Unit price of electricity (RMB yuan/ton) |
|---|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei | 7.84 | 0.76 |
| Baoding Tongmei | 5.76 | 0.72 |
| Chaoyang Tongmei | 3.80 | 0.55 |
Based on the energy consumption in 2020, assuming that the unit prices of water and electricity of Baoding Tongmei and Chaoyang Tongmei were the same as those of Beijing Tongmei, the impact of water and electricity costs on the gross profit margin of GaAs in 2020 was 1.97%.
③ Reassignment of the production staff in Beijing after relocation
At the end of 2020, the relocation of the GaAs-related production line and workshop was completed, and no GaAs-related production department would be retained in Beijing. Meanwhile, relevant workshops, part of the equipment and the original GaAs substrate production staff were reassigned to the InP substrate workshop and germanium substrate workshop, and the total number of transferred staff was 210;
Based on the foregoing staff difference and the average remunerations the production staff of Beijing Tongmei in 2020, it is estimated that the impact of the staff reassignment on the gross profit margin was 8.03%.
④ Beijing Tongmei’s Plant, etc. would no longer participate in amortization 1-1-366
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
At the end of 2020, the GaAs-related production line and workshop were relocated, and the depreciation of the relevant plant of Beijing
Tongmei would no longer be allocated to GaAs substrates. The impact of the foregoing difference on the average unit cost was RMB21.37/piece, and the impact on the gross profit margin was 4.88% accordingly.
To sum up, the relocation of the production line had a great impact on the gross profit margin of GaAs substrates, and after the completion of the production line relocation, the gross profit margin of the Company’s GaAs substrates increased fast year by year. According to simulation calculation, the increase in the yield rate, the change in remunerations for the staff and the reduction in water and electricity costs after the production line relocation, as well as the reassignment of the production staff, the improvement of the production efficiency and other matters had an impact on the gross profit margin of GaAs substrates of 3.03% and 29.72% respectively in 2020 and 2021.
4) About the purchase of raw materials
From the perspective of raw materials, the production of GaAs substrates mainly consumes metal gallium, high-purity arsenic, quartz materials, crucibles for crystal growth (mainly produced from boron trichloride and liquid nitrogen), chemical reagents, packaging materials and other materials. Taking 2021 for example, under the premise that the other conditions remain unchanged, a sensitivity analysis of the 10% and 20% increase (decrease) in the purchase unit price of metal gallium to the cost and gross profit margin of GaAs substrates in 2021 is as follows:
Unit: RMB0’000
| Item | Unit price of metal gallium | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | +20% | +10% | 0 | -10% | -20% | |
| Revenue from GaAs substrates | 25,547.46 | 25,547.46 | 25,547.46 | 25,547.46 | 25,547.46 | |
| Cost in GaAs substrates | 19,955.94 | 19,482.36 | 19,008.77 | 18,535.18 | 18,061.60 | |
| Gross profit margin of GaAs substrates | 21.89% | 23.74% | 25.59% | 27.45% | 29.30% |
It can be seen from the above table that the fluctuation of the unit purchase price of metal gallium has little impact on the cost and gross profit margin of GaAs substrates as long as the other conditions remain unchanged.
It is estimated that in 2020 and 2021, the impact of the unit direct material YoY change in GaAs substrates of the Issuer on the current gross profit margin was 2.78% and 0.38% respectively, which was a relatively small impact.
5) Competition layout
From the perspective of the competitive layout, the Company’s main competitors in GaAs substrates are Sumitomo and Freiberger. In 2019, the Company’s global market share in the GaAs substrate market was 13%. There is a fierce competition in the international market of GaAs substrates, and customers have a strong bargaining ability. As a result, prices offered by peer companies are not significantly different, and the gross profit margin of GaAs substrates is also lower than that of InP substrates. Besides, the GaAs substrate market is growing fast. According to Yole statistics, the shipment volume of GaAs substrates in 2021 was expected to increase by 1-1-367
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
26.98% compared with that in 2020. Under the background of the expansion of the market size and the steady expansion of the Company’s GaAs substrate production capacity, the Company has further increased the preferential treatment in the international market. In the domestic market, the Company have generally withdrawn from the low-priced LED illumination field. Domestic customers purchase the GaAs substrate products from the Company mainly for smart phones, AI, unmanned driving and other fields, which have higher technical requirements and a higher added value for GaAs substrates, resulting in a higher sales price in the domestic market for the Company’s products, which has raised the average selling price and, with the increase of the domestic sales scale of GaAs substrates, it has raised the gross profit margin of GaAs substrates to some extent.
(3) Germanium substrate
1) Main factors leading to the great decrease in the gross profit margin of germanium substrate products
During the reporting period, the gross profit margins of germanium substrates were 20.60%, 18.44% and 0.21% respectively, showing a downward trend year by year, mainly due to the influx of competitors that caused intensified competition, resulting in lower sales prices, changes in product structure, reallocation of production personnel upon production line relocation, increased raw material prices, changes in the capacity utilization rate and other factors. Details are as follows:
| S.N. | Changes in the gross profit margin of 2020 | Changes in the gross profit margin of 2021 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Item | Impact on the gross profit margin | Item | Impact on the gross profit margin | |

① Decline of sales prices due to intensified market competition 1-1-368
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
Before 2014, the Issuer and the Umicore were major enterprises with the capacity of mass production of germanium substrates in the world. At present, the Company mainly sells 4-inch germanium substrates in the domestic market, and 6-inch and 4-inch products in the overseas market.
A. International market
In the international market, Umicore is the main competitor of the Company (and its controlling shareholder AXT), which has been engaged in germanium product business for more than 40 years with its germanium-related products including, among others, infrared germanium products, ultra-high purity germanium single crystals and germanium substrates. As to the international market, the Company (and its controlling shareholder AXT) once outperformed Umicore in the global market share of germanium substrate products. With AXT’s complete relocation of germanium substrate production base to China, the Company’s germanium substrate products gradually withdrew from the U.S. aerospace market. Currently, given the Company’s overseas market is mainly in Europe and Asia, the germanium substrates of Umicore have a higher global market share than those of the Company.
B. Domestic market
In the domestic market, before 2014, the Company was the most important supplier of germanium substrates in China. As China’s germanium output ranks first in the world, Yunnan Germanium and other domestic manufacturers in the germanium industry in China also supplied raw materials such as germanium ingots or germanium single crystals to Umicore. With the continuous growth of the global aerospace field and commercial satellite market, in China, upstream germanium substrate manufacturers have also begun to enter the downstream germanium substrate market. Yunnan Germanium commenced producing germanium substrates on a small scale and sold them abroad in 2014. According to the 2019 annual report of Yunnan Germanium, it recorded a revenue of RMB28.4474 million from germanium substrates in that year.
In recent years, the domestic market demand in China has also shown a rapid growth, and Yunnan Germanium has also made greater efforts to develop the domestic market. During the reporting period, its revenue from germanium substrates increased to RMB77.1093 million in 2021 from 2019, which was on par with the Company’s revenue scale on that regard in 2021.
The comparison of price changes, production capacity and output changes between the Company and Yunnan Germanium in germanium substrate products is as follows:
Unit: RMB/piece, 0’000 pieces (converted to 4 inches)
| Germanium substrate | Beijing Tongmei | Yunnan Germanium | |||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| | 2021 | 2020 | ROC | 2021 | 2020 | ROC | |
| Unit price | 287.74 | 336.81 | -14.57% | 283.70 | 390.06 | -27.27% | |
| Capacity | 35.83 | 30.50 | 17.48% | 75.00 | 30.00 | 150.00% | |
| Output | 35.46 | 28.18 | 25.83% | 28.28 | 23.57 | 20.00% |
Source: Annual report of Yunnan Germanium
At present, the Company and Yunnan Germanium are the two major manufacturers of germanium substrates in China’s domestic market. As per the 2021 annual report of Yunnan Germanium, in 2021, it produced 282,800 1-1-369
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
photovoltaic germanium products (converted to 4 inches), and expanded its production capacity for 6-inch germanium substrates by 200,000. The price competition between the Company and Yunnan Germanium is intensified with the increase of the latter’s output and sales volume.
Under the premise that the proportion of the sales volume and the unit cost of each size remain unchanged compared with those in the previous year, based on the unit price of each specification sold due to the market demand and changes in specific product orders, the overall current average selling price is calculated, and then the impact of the above selling prices on the gross profit margins in 2020 and 2021 is calculated as follows:
Unit: RMB/piece
| Item | 2021 | 2020 | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Germanium substrate specifications<br><br>(Simulated weighted unit price = sales volume proportion of the previous year × current unit price) | 2-inch ① | 4.99 | 3.97 | |
| | 3-inch ② | 0.70 | 6.00 | |
| | 4-inch ③ | 234.95 | 250.61 | |
| | 6-inch ④ | 80.51 | 57.11 | |
| Estimated average unit price ⑤=①+②+③+④ | 321.15 | 317.69 | ||
| Unit cost in the previous year ⑥ | 274.66 | 278.66 | ||
| Estimated gross profit margin ⑦=(⑤-⑥)/⑤ | 14.48% | 12.29% | ||
| Gross profit margin in the previous year ⑧ | 18.44% | 20.60% | ||
| Impact of changes in the sales unit price on the gross profit margin ⑨ = ⑦ - ⑧ | -3.96% | -8.31% |
To sum up, according to the calculation, upon exclusion of the impact of changes in the product mix, the unit prices change due to the influx of market competitors, changes in demand and in customer orders, etc., and then the impact on the gross profit margin in 2021 was -3.96%.
② Change in the sales structure
Affected by the intensified market competition, in order to further expand the domestic market share and enhance the competitiveness, the product unit prices in 2021 further decreased. The unit price of the 4-inch product declined significantly, and its sales volume and proportion increased due to the price reduction strategy; thus, the product mix in 2021 changed significantly. In 2021, the proportion of revenues from 4-inch germanium substrates increased from 74.18% in 2020 to 88.63%.Assuming that the other conditions of the previous year remain unchanged and the calculation is carried out based on the proportion of revenues from each size in the current year, the gross profit margins of germanium substrates in 2020 and 2021 were respectively 20.17% and 20.77%, and then the impact of the change in the product sales structure on the gross profit margin in 2020 and 2021 was -0.43% and 2.33% respectively, with a relatively a small impact on the whole.
③ Production line relocation
In 2021, the relevant production personnel and plant of Beijing Tongmei’s original GaAs workshop were reallocated to the InP substrate and germanium substrate workshops. Wherein, 73 of them were reallocated to the germanium substrate workshop. Based on the foregoing personnel difference and the average remuneration of 1-1-370
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
Beijing Tongmei’s production personnel in 2020, the impact of the personnel reallocation on the gross profit margin of germanium substrates in 2021 was estimated as -10.47%.
④ Increase in raw material prices
In the composition of germanium substrates, the cost of germanium ingots accounts for a relatively high proportion. With the impact of the domestic economic environment, the supply-demand relationship under the epidemic and other factors, the price of germanium ingots have been in an upward trend generally. During the reporting period, the average purchase unit prices of germanium ingots were RMB6,447.44/kg, RMB6,234.17/kg and RMB7,008.32/kg, a growth of -3.31% and 12.42% in 2020 and 2021 respectively. If the average purchase price of germanium ingots in the current year remained the same as that in the previous year, the impact of the increase in germanium ingot prices on the gross profit margin in 2020 and 2021 would be 1.66% and -7.00% respectively. Details are as follows:
Unit: RMB0’000
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Item | Revenue | Cost | Gross profit margin |
| Actual figure in 2021 | 8,948.57 | 8,929.89 | 0.21% |
| Estimated figure in 2021 | 8,948.57 | 8,303.12 | 7.21% |
| Difference | -7.00% | ||
| Actual figure in 2020 | 8,055.63 | 6,569.82 | 18.44% |
| Estimated figure in 2020 | 8,055.63 | 6,703.72 | 16.78% |
| Difference | 1.66% |
⑤ Change in capacity utilization
During the reporting period, the Company’s germanium substrate capacity utilization rates were 75.76%, 92.41% and 98.97% respectively. The capacity utilization rate in 2019 was relatively low, mainly due to the unsaturated downstream orders, resulting in a high amortization of fixed costs in the year. In 2019, The unit manufacturing cost of germanium substrates was RMB95.09/piece, which was 20.20% higher than that in 2020 and is basically the same as the difference in capacity utilization. In 2020, the impact of the change in the unit manufacturing cost of germanium substrates on the gross profit margin was 4.74%.
2) Whether the relevant factors may cause continuous adverse effects on the future operating performance of the Issuer
1-1-371
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
In the short term, the market price of germanium substrate products continued to drop due to the influx of competitors, and the gross profit margin dropped due to the increase of raw material prices and the reassignment of staff upon the relocation of the GaAs production line, but in the long term, the above factors will not continue to have an adverse impact on the Issuer’s future results of operation. The main reasons are as follows:
① The price and gross profit margin has become stable in January to May 2022
In the first half of 2022, the average selling price of germanium substrates was RMB282.15/piece (unaudited, the same below), decreased by 1.94% year on year. The price tends to become relatively stable; at the same time, with the increase in output, the cost was diluted, and the gross profit margin also recovered to 8.99%, and the overall competition eased to some extent. Meanwhile, from the perspective of customers, main customers of the Company’s germanium substrate products were still Kingsoon, Zhongshan Dehua Chip Technology Co., Ltd., Osram, etc.; there was no material changes, and the cooperation was stable. In the first half of 2022, the Company achieved the sales revenue of RMB51,541,700 from germanium substrate products, up by 18.63% year on year. It has achieved a sales volume of 182,700 pieces, an increase of 23.65% on a year-on-year basis. With the continuous growth in the demand in the downstream space solar cell field, it is expected that the Company’s revenue from germanium substrates will increase on a year-on-year basis in 2022. With the continued increase in the revenue and sales volume of germanium substrates, the increase in the cost arising from the reassignment of staff due to the relocation will be diluted and the unit cost will be reduced.
② The Issuer has early-bird market advantages and advantages in product quality
Having engaged in the mass production of germanium substrates in 2010, the Company has developed many outstanding customers, including Osram and Kingsoon, on the domestic and overseas markets, indicating the obvious early-bird market advantages for the Issuer; meanwhile, the largest customer of the Company’s germanium substrate products during the reporting period is Kingsoon - the germanium substrate products, after being processed by Kingsoon into epilayers, have been used in the production of over 50% solar cells for satellites and spacecraft manufactured by China, which have been successfully equipped in aerospace equipment such as Chang’e 4 and Tianwen-1. The quality of our germanium substrate products has been recognized by relevant authorities. In summary, thanks to the early-bird market advantages and advantages in product quality, the Company has certain market competitiveness and bargaining power, which can ensure the stability of product prices to a certain extent.
③ Continuous investment in R&D to improve product performance
During the reporting period, the Company invested a total of RMB26.8264 million, RMB45.1082 million, and RMB90.1664 million, respectively, in research and development; along with the expansion of the downstream market and application fields, our investment in R&D will also increase continuously. Meanwhile, we also made investment in the research and development of processes and technology upgrade related to germanium substrates, such as the continuous investment in the research and development of 6-inch germanium wafers, the development of the automatic cleaning process, etc. Meanwhile, we will also enhance efforts for the research of new technologies and new applications of germanium substrates for concentrator photovoltaics (i.e. concentrating solar power that concentrates sunshine by using an optical device for power generation, which is considered as the third-generation technology for the future development of power generation with solar energy), ground photovoltaic solar cells, optical devices, etc., so as to improve the product competitiveness of the Company, ensure the bargaining power of the Company on the downstream germanium substrate solar cells, and improve the gross profit margin of such products. 1-1-372

④ Expected growth for large-size germanium substrate applications
At present, the Company, like other companies in the industry, have also started using 6-inch germanium substrates for the LED and other fields. That is, a germanium substrate is provided on an LED GaAs substrate epilayer, so as to improve the conductivity performance of the epilayer and improve the brightness of LED chips. This will also expand the application of large-size germanium substrates. In the future, along with the growth of 6-inch germanium substrates for new applications in the optical field, especially the growth of the sales volumes on the overseas market and the stable price of raw materials, the gross profit margin of the Company’s germanium substrate products will increase.
In summary, after the reporting period, the unit price of germanium substrate products have become stable; moreover, the Issuer has certain early-bird market advantages and advantages in product quality; given the continuous investment in research and development, the improvement in product performance, and the increased application of large-size germanium substrates, it is expected that the selling price of germanium substrate products will not decrease continuously and greatly, but will become stable, hence improving the gross profit margin.
(4) PBN crucibles
During the reporting period, the gross profit margin of PBN crucibles of the Company was 49.23%, 54.73% and 52.13%, respectively, which was relatively stable overall. The low gross profit margin of PBN crucibles for the year ended 31 December 2019 was mainly due to the fact that Chaoyang, Liaoning implemented better industrial policy, while Beijing Boyu was notified in the second half of 2018 that its leased plant would be expropriated, and relocated its production equipment and others to Chaoyang Boyu and other plants one after another for the year ended 31 December 2019, resulting in a decrease in the utilization rate of production equipment. Meanwhile, as Chaoyang Boyu re-recruited production personnel who were not proficient, the overall production efficiency of PBN crucibles was low for the year ended 31 December 2019.
(5) High-purity metals and compounds
During the reporting period, the gross profit margin of high-purity metal and compound products of the Company was 10.60%, 17.14% and 10.26%, respectively. The main reason for the increase in 2020 was that the production efficiency decreased as a result of the relocation of Nanjing Jinmei’s production line to Chaoyang Jinmei in 2019, and the production efficiency recovered to some extent after the completion of the relocation in 2020; on the other hand, the sales unit price of high-purity gallium increased with the increase in the market price of gallium. The gross profit margin in 2021 declined, which was mainly because the market price of the raw material metal gallium was at a high level throughout the year, and such change was not transmitted to the terminal price in a timely manner, leading to a price increase weaker than the increase in the unit price of the raw materials.
(6) Others
During the reporting period, the gross profit margin of other income from main business of the Company was 67.83%, 84.15% and 72.80%, respectively. Other businesses under the main business of the Company were mainly sales of materials such as PBN sheets and crucible precision regeneration services, which have high entry thresholds and relatively high gross profit margins.

3. Comparative analysis of gross profit margin with comparable companies in the same industry
During the reporting period, the comparison in gross profit margin of main business between the Company and comparable companies in the same industry was as follows:
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company name | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 |
| SICC | 32.83% | 34.94% | 26.62% |
| NSIG | 15.01% | 12.09% | 13.82% |
| Average | 23.92% | 23.52% | 20.22% |
| The Issuer (semiconductor substrate) | 34.93% | 19.05% | 11.80% |
Note: The data of comparable companies are obtained from their annual reports and Prospectuses.
During the reporting period, the gross profit margin of semiconductor substrate materials of the Company significantly differed from the average of comparable companies in the same industry, which was mainly due to the difference in product types, parameters and performance requirements, production process, application areas and downstream customer structure. Among them, SICC mainly provided silicon carbide substrates, NSIG mainly provided silicon substrates, while the Issuer mainly provided InP substrates, GaAs substrates and germanium substrate materials.
Specifically, ’compared with SICC, the overall gross profit margin of semiconductor substrate materials of the Company in 2019 and 2020 was relatively low, as SICC’s main products were silicon carbide whose raw materials, namely graphite parts and graphite mats, were less expensive and more fully supplied than our rare metals. NSIG’s lower gross profit margin was mainly due to the higher operating cost resulting from a significant increase in fixed costs caused by the increase in its production capacity for 300mm semiconductor silicon substrates. In 2021, the gross profit margin of the Company’s semiconductor substrate products was close to that of SICC’s main business.
(IV) Analysis of period expenses
During the reporting period, the composition of the period expenses and their proportions in the operating incomes of the Company are as follows:

In each period of the reporting period, the total period expenses of the Company amounted to RMB108,697,100, RMB106,340,400 and RMB193,349,400 respectively, being relatively stable in the recent three years. In 2021, the period expenses were comparatively high, mainly because of the increase in the Company’s incomes on the one hand, and the relatively high benefits to certain overseas sales, R&D and management personnel who were newly recruited in response to the overseas business integration between AXT-Tongmei and AXT since March 2021 on the other hand. In each period of the reporting period, the period expenses accounted for 23.52%, 18.23% and 22.55% of the corresponding year’s operating incomes respectively, with slight fluctuations.

| Total | 2,118.22 | 100.00% | 791.80 | 100.00% | 837.17 | 100.00% |
During the reporting period, the selling expenses of the Company amounted to RMB8,371,700, RMB7,918,000 and RMB21,182,200 respectively. The significant increase in 2021 was mainly due to the rise of employee benefits, warranty expenses and agency fees. The Company’s selling expenses accounted for 1.81%, 1.36% and 2.47% of the corresponding year’s operating incomes respectively, showing a trend of increase following decrease in the recent three years. The selling expenses were mainly composed of employee benefits, warranty expenses and agency fees, the total expenses of such three items accounting for 75.30%, 88.25% and 87.85% of the selling expenses respectively. 1-1-375

1) Employee benefits
During the reporting period, the employee benefits in the Company’s selling expenses amounted to RMB1,971,100, RMB2,606,600 and RMB9,902,600, accounting for 23.54%, 32.92% and 46.750% of the selling expenses, respectively.
During the reporting period, the average monthly number and per capita benefits of salespeople are as follows:
In RMB0’000
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Item | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 |
| Selling expenses - employee benefits | 990.26 | 260.66 | 197.11 |
| Monthly average number | 20 | 12 | 10 |
| Per capita benefits | 49.51 | 21.72 | 19.71 |
In the recent three years, the per capita benefits of the Company’s salespeople have increased year by year. In 2021, the per capita benefits of salespeople saw a significant growth, mainly because in 2021 the Company established an overseas sales team in AXT-Tongmei, the benefits for which were relatively high, raising the average benefit level of the overall salespeople.
2) Warranty expenses
During the reporting period, the Company’s warranty expenses amounted to RMB1,449,000, RMB2,497,200 and RMB4,519,500, accounting for 17.31%, 31.54% and 21.34% of the selling expenses, respectively. The warranty expenses represented the after-sales maintenance fees accrued by the Company according to the sold semiconductor substrate materials, which increased rapidly during the reporting period for reasons that, on the one hand, the sales of semiconductor substrate materials increased rapidly year by year, and on the other hand, the Company had relatively large maintenance expenses in 2020 for its products in response to the launch by Customer A of new products. Besides, the warranty expenses increased significantly in 2021, mainly because the accrued amount increased with the growth of the incomes of AXT-Tongmei having direct dealing with end customers since March 2021, while before that, it was AXT who was responsible for the warranty of overseas customers and the Company made no accruals of warranty expenses for AXT.
3) Agency fees
During the reporting period, the agency fees of the Company amounted to RMB2,883,800, RMB1,883,800 and RMB4,185,100, accounting for 34.45%, 23.79% and 19.76% of the selling expenses, respectively. In order to better promote its products, the Company has also developed the markets through agents in Korea, Taiwan (China), Europe and the United States, among others. In the case of promotion through agents, the Company would sign product sales agency agreements with the agents pursuant to which the agents were responsible for the marketing of relevant products in specific territories, and would directly enter into sales contracts with, and deliver goods to, relevant customers, and pay commissions to the agents according to the type of products they sold at a predetermined fee rate. The significant increase in the agency fees in 2021 was mainly due to the fact that since AXT-Tongmei started to directly face end customers in March 2021, AXT-Tongmei had undertaken relevant businesses, re-signed agency contracts with overseas customer agents, and paid relevant agency fees.

(2) Comparison of selling expenses ratio with comparable companies
During the reporting period, the comparison of selling expenses ratio between the Issuer and the comparable companies is as follows:
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company name | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 |
| SICC | 2.08% | 0.77% | 0.76% |
| NSIG | 2.84% | 3.36% | 4.51% |
| Average | 2.46% | 2.07% | 2.64% |
| Issuer | 2.47% | 1.36% | 1.81% |
Note: The data of such comparable companies is sourced from their annual reports and Prospectuses.
During the reporting period, the Company’s selling expenses ratio was lower than that of NSIG, for reasons mainly lying in: there was a relatively large number of salespeople in ZINGSEMI, a subsidiary of NSIG, resulting in a high proportion of employee benefits expenses in NSIG’s incomes; the selling expenses of NSIG encompassed consulting service fees which were not included by the Company; and NSIG sold semiconductor wafers of 300mm and below, the unit price of which was far lower than that of the Company’s products having similar size, leading to a relatively high unit freight.
The Company’s selling expenses ratio was higher than that of SICC, mainly because of the warranty expenses accrued by the Company for the semiconductor substrate materials sold to its customers other than AXT, and the agency fees generated by the Company’s sales of semiconductor products in Korea, Taiwan (China), Europe and America, among other markets.

They were relatively high in 2019, mainly due to the relocation of the production line of Nanjing Jinmei to Liaoning Chaoyang and the corresponding dismissal benefits of RMB10,240,200 for dismissed employees.
1) Employee benefits
During the reporting period, the employee benefits in the Company’s administrative expenses amounted to RMB41,531,400, RMB30,694,500 and RMB43,455,400, accounting for 57.62%, 52.95% and 56.37% of the administrative expenses, respectively. Affected by the relocation of the production line of Nanjing Jinmei to Liaoning Chaoyang, Nanjing Jinmei granted dismissal benefits of RMB10,240,200 to its dismissed employees in 2019 respectively.

(2) Comparison of administrative expenses ratio with comparable companies
During the reporting period, the comparison of the administrative expenses ratio between the Issuer and the comparable companies is as follows:
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company name | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 |
| SICC | 11.52% | 9.57% | 8.96% |
| NSIG | 9.06% | 8.94% | 11.71% |
| Average | 10.29% | 9.26% | 10.34% |

Note: The data of such comparable companies is sourced from their annual reports and prospectuses; the administrative expenses ratio of SICC was counted after deducting the relevant share-based payment expenses.
In 2020, the administrative expenses ratio of the Company had little difference from that of the comparable companies. In 2019, it was higher than the average level of the comparable companies, mainly due to the relocation of Nanjing Jinmei to Chaoyang Jinmei and the corresponding dismissal benefits of RMB10,240,200 for dismissed employees, resulting in a significant increase in the administrative expenses. In 2021, the Company’s management expenditure rate was lower than that of SICC and was substantially the same as that of NSIG, which was mainly because of the relatively high consulting and intermediary fees of SICC.
3. R&D expenses

In each period of the reporting period, the Company’s R&D expenses amounted to RMB26,826,400, RMB45,108,200 and RMB90,166,400 respectively. The Company has always attached great importance to the independent innovation and R&D, maintaining a high-level R&D investment to ensure the continuous upgrading of its products and technologies, meet the demands of the market and customers, and improve its core competitiveness. During the period, its R&D expenses increased significantly, mainly due to its increasing R&D investments in large-size substrate materials and the technical study on various semiconductor substrates in wafer processing according to market conditions and its own R&D arrangements.
1) Employee benefits
During the reporting period, the employee benefits in the Company’s R&D expenses amounted to RMB10,398,300, RMB20,686,100 and RMB48,091,800, accounting for 38.76%, 45.86% and 53.34% of the R&D expenses, respectively. In 2019, there was a relative delay in certain R&D activities and arrangements of the Company as well as a decrease in human resources due to the impact of the relocation of Beijing Tongmei and Nanjing Jinmei. In 2020, on the one hand, the R&D activities had resumed with the gradual completion of relocation, and on the other hand, as the Company’s 8-inch GaAs and 6-inch InP substrates entered the R&D milestone, the Company increased the R&D investments in the above large-size substrate materials and the technical study on semiconductor substrates in wafer processing, and it followed that the manpower input was increased. In 2021, remunerations for employees further increased, mainly due to the continuous increase in the number of R&D personnel as well as the higher benefits with the rise of labor cost; in addition, certain overseas R&D personnel having higher benefits were newly recruited by the subsidiary AXT-Tongmei in 2021, which was also one of the reasons therefor.
2) Raw materials and finished products consumed
During the reporting period, the amount of raw materials and finished products consumed by the Company was RMB12,136,000, RMB12,136,000, RMB17,732,200 and RMB28,945,800, which was increased year by year. With the increasing R&D personnel input, the overall proportion shows a slight downward trend.

| Proportion of aging of within 1 year | 93.79% | 93.74% | 90.61% |
At the end of each period of the reporting period, the Company’s inventories having an age of within 1 year accounted for more than 90% of the inventories.
(3) Analysis of provisions for decline in value of inventories
At the end of each period of the reporting period, the Company’s provision for decline in value of inventories amounted to RMB23,596,800, RMB14,558,100 and RMB17,216,600, accounting for 8.76%, 4.87% and 4.29% of the book balance of inventories, respectively. The Company has evaluated the inventories at the end of the reporting period in light of the market demand, product technical indicators and estimated selling price, and made provisions for decline in value of inventories when the costs of inventories were lower than the net realizable values thereof. At the end of 2020, the provisions for decline in value decreased significantly, mainly due to the sales of certain products for which impairment provisions were made in prior periods.
The comparison of proportion of provisions for decline in value of inventories between the Company and the comparable listed companies in the same industry is as follows:
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Company name | December 31, 2021 | December 31, 2020 | December 31, 2019 |
| SICC | 1.48% | 0.43% | 0.58% |
| NSIG | 7.35% | 9.47% | 3.96% |
| Average | 4.42% | 4.95% | 2.27% |
| Issuer | 4.29% | 4.87% | 8.76% |
Note: The data of such comparable companies is sourced from their annual reports and Prospectuses.
At the end of 2019, the proportion of provisions for decline in value of inventories of the Company was higher than the average level of the comparable companies in the same industry, mainly due to the relatively low proportion of such provisions made by SICC. At the end of 2020, the proportion of provisions for decline in value of inventories of the Company was lower than that of NSIG, mainly because the production of epilayers in 300mm wafers was still in the ramp-up stage with continuous product certification, the process and quality needed to be improved, and the production cost was higher than their market price, resulting in a relatively high provision 1-1-402

|---|---|---|---|
| Current ratio (times) | 2.13 | 1.21 | 1.59 |

At the end of 2020, the Company’s current ratio and quick ratio were relatively low, and the asset-liability ratio (consolidated) was relatively high, mainly due to the comparatively significant increase in other payables because the Company introduced investors who made contributions at the end of 2020, but the industrial and commercial change formalities had not been completed by that time. With the transfer of the relevant liabilities into the owners’ equity, the above indicators of 2021 have also been further optimized.
During the reporting period, the Company was in good operating condition, having strong sustainable profitability and solvency, and low risks of failure in honoring the liabilities.

Note: The data of such comparable companies is sourced from Ifind.
At the end of 2019, the Company’s current ratio, quick ratio and asset-liability ratio were higher than those of the comparable companies in the same industry. At the end of 2020, the relevant indicators were lower than those of the comparable companies in the same industry, mainly because on the one hand, the Company introduced investors with contributions at the end of 2020, but the relevant industrial and commercial change formalities had not been completed by then, resulting in a significant increase in other payables, and on the other hand, SICC introduced external investors with capital investments of RMB1.595 billion in August 2020, which significantly improved its indicators and raised the average level of the comparable companies. At the end of 2021, the Company’s current ratio and quick ratio were relatively close to those of NSIG, while the asset-liability ratio was basically the same as the average level of comparable companies.

diversified and customized demands of end customers, take the initiative in the market environment where technology and products are being rolled out, and gain competitive advantage, providing a solid guarantee for the Company’s future profit growth.
During the construction period of the project, the Company plans to make R&D breakthroughs in the following technology directions: R&D for high-quality 8-inch GaAs polished wafer technology, R&D for characterization technology of GaAs and InP semiconductor wafers, R&D for high-quality InP wafers with low surface defects, improvement and upgrade of 6-inch InP crystal growth technology, and R&D for 8-inch GaAs crystal growth technology.
(1) Improvement and upgrade of 8-inch GaAs crystal growth technology
GaAs is a III-V compound semiconductor material after germanium and silicon. As the downstream application of GaAs semiconductor materials steps to expand and deepen, coupled with the increasing level of wafer epitaxy technology, small-size wafers have no longer been able to satisfy the demand for epitaxy technology. In order to vie for high-end markets and cut down costs, semiconductor epitaxy manufacturers are rushing to develop and apply large-size epitaxy technology, making large-size crystal material an important development direction in the future. The R&D content of this technology segment includes:

(3) Improvement and upgrade of high-quality 8-inch GaAs polished wafer technology
GaAs substrate is a hard and brittle compound semiconductor crystal with special chemical and physical properties, so the traditional silicon wafer processing technology could not be used for reference in wafer preparation. In addition, with the increase of wafer size, the difficulty of both crystal growth and wafer processing will increase.
As the downstream application of 8-inch GaAs substrates is constantly promoted, especially considering the broad application prospect in the field of Micro LED, the requirements for core indicators such as flatness, surface cleanliness, evenness (including evenness within and between wafers) of GaAs polished wafers are getting higher and higher. The existing wafer technology is inefficient and worse still, it gets harder to meet the requirements of downstream customers for product performance, so more advanced processing technology of 8-inch GaAs substrates needs to be developed.
The R&D content of this technology segment includes:
| 1) | Development of high-precision 8-inch GaAs wafer cutting technology Cutting is the first and basic step of wafer processing, which not only determines the material loss, but also has a great impact on the subsequent processing precision. Developing wafer cutting technology can lay a good foundation for subsequent grinding and polishing. |
|---|---|
| 2) | Development of high-flatness 8-inch GaAs wafer grinding and polishing technology Grinding and polishing are a key step in wafer processing, determining the final flatness parameter of the wafer. By participating in the design and development, the project will further improve the grinding and polishing equipment that meets the processing requirements of 8-inch GaAs wafers, and develop the corresponding grinding and polishing process. |
| --- | --- |
| 3) | Development of high-surface-cleanliness 8-inch GaAs wafer cleaning technology As the last process of wafer processing, cleaning determines the overall performance of the wafer surface. By developing and renovating cleaning equipment and efficient cleaning technology, high cleanliness of wafer products can be achieved. |
| --- | --- |
| (4) | Improvement and upgrade of technology for high-quality InP wafers with low surface defects With the extensive application of InP, downstream devices, especially some high-grade, precision and advanced application areas, are more demanding in terms of processing technology and quality requirements of InP substrates. The existing processing technology and wafer quality could no longer meet higher requirements, and problems such as inefficient processing and low product consistency and stability are exposed. |
| --- | --- |
By optimizing the processing method, improving the processing technology, developing new technology and introducing new processing equipment and testing equipment, the InP substrate products independently developed by the Company increase the substrate quality and decrease the surface defect level, allowing the Company to maintain leadership in the industry. At the same time, in order to meet the higher requirements for performance indicators of InP substrates such as flatness, surface defects, surface cleanliness, performance evenness, and consistency, the underlying project will research and develop the process technology of high-quality InP substrates with low surface defects. 1-1-444

|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
The R&D content of this technology segment includes:
| 1) | R&D of multi-wire cutting process for InP wafers with high angular accuracy, high flatness and low surface damages. |
|---|
The wafer cutting process has a significant impact on the final crystal orientation angle, flatness and surface quality of the wafer, which is the basis of subsequent grinding and polishing. Developing a multi-wire cutting process with high angle accuracy, high flatness and low surface damages can improve the consistency and flatness of the wafer and reduce the loss of crystal materials.
| 2) | R&D of grinding and polishing process of InP wafers with high flatness and low surface defects |
|---|
The grinding and polishing process has a great impact on the flatness of the wafer and plays a decisive role in its surface defects.

| 3) | R&D of high-surface-cleanliness 8-inch InP wafer cleaning technology |
|---|
The wafer cleaning process has a great impact on the surface cleanliness of the wafer. Reducing particles on the wafer surface by developing the cleaning process and cleaning equipment can improve the cleanliness and consistency of wafer surface.
(5)Improvement and upgrade of characterization technology of GaAs and InP semiconductor wafers
The characterization measurement technology of semiconductor wafers is the primary basis for judging their quality, which can provide reference and guidance for the improvement of semiconductor quality. Excellent product quality not only depends on advanced technology and equipment, but also needs advanced characterization and detection technology.
As the application range of GaAs and InP materials expands and the performance of downstream devices continues to improve, the requirements for the quality and technical parameters of substrates are becoming higher and higher, including electrical parameters such as resistivity and mobility of substrate materials, dislocation density and distribution in crystalline materials, trace metal residues on the wafer surface, and nanoscale particle residues on the surface. At present, the existing measurement and characterization technologies of the Company and in the industry can no longer meet the future market demand in terms of both measurement items and accuracy, so more advanced measurement and characterization technologies for semiconductor wafers need to be developed.
The R&D content of this technology segment includes:
| 1) | Development of high-precision electrical performance measurement system The study focus should be the Hall measurement system with parameters such as high resistance and high mobility. |
|---|---|
| 2) | Development of automatic detection technology for crystal dislocation and other defects |

2. Necessity of project implementation
(1) The need to improve the international competitiveness of compound semiconductor materials in China
The semiconductor industry is the foundation of electronic information industry and various high-tech upgrades, which relates to national security and strategic deployment. Semiconductor is an important part of the upstream semiconductor industry chain, playing a key supporting role in the manufacturing of semiconductor products such as integrated circuits and discrete devices.
There are various kinds of semiconductor materials, including substrates, target materials, chemical-mechanical polishing materials, photoresists, and encapsulation materials, in which substrates are at the very core in the field of semiconductor materials. Substrates include single-element semiconductors and compound semiconductors, in which III-V compound semiconductor material is the second most mature semiconductor substrate following silicon.
A substrate with a greater diameter means lower costs for manufacturing individual chips, so compound semiconductor substrates are evolving toward larger sizes. However, large-size III-V compound semiconductor materials require special growth conditions and high technical barriers. Only a few international companies in countries such as Japan and Germany can provide large-size GaAs and InP substrates on a large scale. China is a latecomer to the semiconductor industry with low overall competitiveness. In the field of III-V compound semiconductor materials, the Company only has strong competitiveness in the middle and low-end products, with the performance and market competitiveness of high-end and large-size products to be further improved.
The underlying project will focus on R&D around growth technology and equipment for large-size compound semiconductor crystals, including the improvement and R&D of large-size InP polycrystalline ingot technology, the improvement and R&D of large-size InP semiconductor crystal growth technology, and the R&D of large-size GaAs crystal growth technology. The successful implementation of the underlying project will promote the R&D level and technical level of large-size III-V compound semiconductor substrate materials, and improve the international competitiveness of compound semiconductor materials in China.
(2) The need to build a first-mover advantage in the market since large-size III-V compound semiconductor substrate materials have become the development trend
Compound semiconductor substrate materials mainly include III-V compound semiconductor materials represented by gallium arsenide (GaAs) and indium phosphide (InP) and wide bandgap compound semiconductor materials represented by gallium nitride (GaN) and silicon carbide (SiC). Thanks to the features of high electron mobility and favorable photoelectric performance, III-V compound semiconductor materials have a broad prospect of applications in 5G communications, data centers, fiber optic communications, new generation display, artificial intelligence, unmanned driving, wearable device, and aerospace. 1-1-446
| | |
|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. | Prospectus |
The gradually maturing new generation display technologies such as Mini LED and Micro LED, coupled with the development of emerging technologies like cloud computing, AI and optical communications, the demand for III-V compound semiconductor substrates will increase substantially. According to Yole, the global sales of GaAs substrates converted into 2-inch were about 20 million pieces in 2019, and are expected to reach over 35 million pieces by 2025; the global sales of InP substrates converted into 2-inch were about 499,000 pieces in 2019, and are expected to reach 1.2819 million pieces by 2026. At present, GaAs substrates are mostly 4 to 6 inches in diameter in the market, while InP substrates are mostly 2 to 4 inches in diameter. A substrate with a greater diameter means lower costs for manufacturing individual chips, so downstream chip and device enterprises have an urgent demand for large-size III-V compound semiconductor substrate materials.
The Company keeps communicating with downstream end customers, pays high attention to the technological development trend of the industry and market needs, focuses on the iteration and upgrade of our technologies and products, and plays a leading role in the R&D and industrial application of large-size compound substrates. The Company has mastered the key technologies for the production of large-size III-V compound semiconductor materials. The underlying project will continue to research and improve the growth technology and equipment for large-size semiconductor crystals and help the large-scale production of large-size GaAs substrates and InP substrates with independent intellectual property rights, building a first-mover advantage to take the initiative in the future market competition.
(3) The need to improve the performance and characterization measurement technology of compound semiconductor wafers
The performance of III-V compound semiconductor wafers is closely associated with the performance of downstream chips and devices. Core performance indicators such as dislocation density, resistivity evenness, flatness and surface granularity of wafers will directly affect the yield and cost of devices, and thus their industrialization process in downstream applications. At the same time, with the breakthrough of semiconductor manufacturing, packaging and testing technology and the rapid development of terminal applications, higher requirements are put forward for the key performance of upstream III-V compound semiconductor wafers. High geometric accuracy, high resistivity evenness, low surface granularity, high surface cleanliness, high consistency and other aspects of performance become technological development goals for III-V compound semiconductor wafers.
In addition, the characterization and measurement technology of semiconductor wafers is the primary basis for judging their quality, which can chart the course for the improvement of semiconductor quality. However, as the application scope of GaAs and InP materials is promoted and the performance of downstream devices continues to improve, the market demands higher and higher quality of both kinds of wafers. The existing characterization measurement technology of the Company and the industry can no longer meet the future industry needs. The market has an urgent need to develop more advanced characterization measurement technologies for semiconductor wafers.
The implementation of the underlying project will increase R&D investment in wafer cutting, wafer grinding, wafer polishing, wafer cleaning and other processing technologies, so as to reduce wafer surface defects and improve wafer quality. At the same time, the underlying project will develop characterization measurement technologies such as automatic detection technology for crystal dislocation and other defects, and detection technology for trace impurities and particle size on semiconductor wafer surface, so as to meet the higher requirements of the industry for wafer measurement items and accuracy. The Company will also introduce new processing and testing equipment to ensure our leadership in the industry by technology and equipment. 1-1-447

3-1-2-24
VII. Main risks of the Issuer
(I) Relevant risks in the listing of the Company and its controlling shareholder AXT respectively on the STAR Market and NASDAQ
After the current listing of the Company’s A-shares, the Company and its controlling shareholder AXT will respectively be listed on the STAR Market and NASDAQ. The Company and AXT shall abide by laws and regulations and listing supervision requirements of regulatory authorities of the two places Meanwhile. Information that needs to be disclosed publicly according to law shall be disclosed at both places Meanwhile.
Due to differences in laws and regulations as well as regulatory concepts between China and the United States, the Company and AXT are governed by different accounting standards and different regulatory requirements. Thus, there will be certain differences in specific accounting treatments and financial information disclosure. Meanwhile, due to differences in information disclosure requirements for listed companies raised by the securities regulatory authorities as well as differences in languages, cultures and expression habits, differences in the composition of investors and investment philosophies in China and the United States and differences in the specific conditions of the capital market, there may be differences between the stock price of the Company listed on the STAR Market and that listed on NASDAQ. This difference and AXT’s stock price fluctuations may affect the stock price of the Company listed on the STAR Market.
On December 18, 2020, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act became law officially in the United States. It is stipulated by the “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act” that, starting from 2021, if the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter referred to as the “SEC”) determines that a foreign company listed in the United States has hired any foreign (as opposed to the U.S., the same below) auditor that cannot be inspected by the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (hereinafter referred to as “PCAOB”) for three consecutive years, the SEC will prohibit its securities registered in the U.S. from being traded on any U.S. national securities exchange (such as the NASDAQ or NYSE) or through over-the-counter trading.
If the annual audit report of a company listed in the U.S. is issued by a foreign accounting firm, and the PCAOB is unable to conduct or fully conduct an inspection or investigation on such accounting firm due to the position of such foreign government, the SEC will identify such listed company and include it in the identified issuer list, that is, the
3-1-2-25
list of pre-delisted companies. If a listed company is included in the list of pre-delisted companies for three consecutive years, the SEC will prohibit such company from trading its shares in any U.S. securities market.
As of the signing date of this Prospectus, AXT has not been included by the PCAOB in the list of pre-delisted companies.
AXT has disclosed in the Risk Factors chapter of its released 2021 Annual Report (FORM 10-K) the risk of being included by PCAOB in the list of pre-delisted companies. AXT believes that the possibility of its being included in the list of pre-delisted companies still cannot be ruled out.
(II) Integration of subsidiaries and management risks
During the reporting period, the Company completed the acquisition of Chaoyang Tongmei, Baoding Tongmei, Chaoyang Jinmei, Nanjing Jinmei, Beijing Boyu, AXT-Tongmei and other companies through the merger of companies under the same control. Such companies are mainly engaged in the R&D, production and sale of GaAs substrates, PBN materials and other high-purity materials, as well as overseas purchase and overseas sale of semiconductor substrate materials, mainly in the United States. After the merger of the above subjects, the Company carried out their integration in operation management, R&D activities and other aspects. As of now, the business has been operated for over 12 months since the reorganization, and the operation is in good condition. However, if the Company fails to effectively implement the integration and management of the subsidiaries it holds, the Company’s future business activities may be affected to some extent.
(III) Dependence on some key raw material suppliers and risk in raw material price fluctuations
The main raw materials required for the Company’s production include gallium metal, germanium ingots, quartz materials, high-purity arsenic, indium phosphide polycrystalline, boron trichloride, etc. The cost of raw materials accounts for a relatively high proportion in the production cost, and their price fluctuations will have certain impact on the Company’s performance. The Company usually purchases the foregoing main raw materials through purchase orders. As the above raw materials are not bulk commodities and there are few suppliers in the market, the Company relies on some key raw material suppliers to a certain extent, and the relevant suppliers may be unable to guarantee the long-
3-1-2-26
term stable supply of the raw materials to the Company, so that the Company’s production and operation will be affected, leading to the failure to deliver products in time. In addition, the delayed supply of raw materials by a supplier may increase the production cost of the Company, and lead to delayed or reduced production, which will further affect the Company’s revenues and operating results.
(IV) The relocation of the factory resulted in risks in fluctuation of the gross profit margin of the products and the failure to meet the expected capacity with the new production line
In 2019, the Company started to relocate the GaAs production line from Beijing to Chaoyang, Liaoning and Baoding, Hebei, and re-hired the production staff. Due to the debugging of the production line and the low proficiency of the production staff, there were a large quantity of raw materials consumed and a low yield rate of GaAs substrates, and the original customer needed to re-verify the new production lines (to be completed around the first half of 2019). As a result, the operating costs were high, leading to large fluctuations in the gross profit margin of the Company’s GaAs substrates during the reporting period. According to simulation calculation, the increase in yield rate after the relocation of the production lines, the change in remunerations for the staff, the reduction in water and electricity costs, the redistribution of the production staff had an impact on the gross profit margin of GaAs substrates in 2020 and 2021 respectively, by 3.03% and 29.72%.
After the relocation of the GaAs production line, the InP substrates and germanium substrates need to assume a larger part of depreciation of fixed assets. Meanwhile, the Company has also reassigned the original GaAs substrate workshop staff in Beijing to InP substrate and germanium substrate workshops, and the idle production capacity of GaAs substrates has not been fully converted into the production capacity of InP substrate and germanium substrates, resulting in fluctuations in the gross profit margin of the Company's InP substrate and germanium substrate products to a certain extent.
The Company’s production lines in Chaoyang, Liaoning and Baoding, Hebei have improved the original production processes and enhanced the intelligence level. Although the foregoing production lines have been officially put into production, it will still take some time to adjust the new production line equipment and enhance the operating
3-1-2-27
proficiency of the production staff. Thus, the Company’s production lines in Chaoyang, Liaoning and Baoding, Hebei are at the risk of not being able to achieve the design capacity stably, which may also result in fluctuations in the Company’s product gross profit margin to a certain extent.
(V) Operating risk in relation to germanium substrates
Germanium substrates are now mainly used in the field of space satellite solar energy. Before 2014, the world’s major companies with mass production capacity for germanium substrates were the Issuer and Umicore. As AXT fully relocated its germanium substrate production base to China, the Company’s germanium substrate products gradually withdrew from the aerospace market of U.S. Thus, Umicore now has a higher global market share than the Company in terms of germanium substrates.
Due to the continuous growth of the global aerospace field and the commercial satellite market, Yunnan Germanium and other domestic germanium material upstream manufacturers have also started to enter the downstream germanium substrate market since 2014. At present, the Company and Yunnan Germanium are the two major germanium substrate manufacturers in the domestic market. According to the 2021 annual report of Yunnan Germanium, in 2021, it produced 282,800 pieces of photovoltaic-grade germanium products (converted to 4 inches), and expanded its production capacity by 200,000 pieces of 6-inch germanium substrates. With the growth of Yunnan Germanium’s output and sales of germanium substrates, there was a fierce competition in the price of germanium substrates between the Company and Yunnan Germanium. In 2021, the average unit price of germanium substrates of the Company in the domestic market dropped from RMB289.04/piece to RMB226.23/piece, a decline of 7.89%. The entry of Yunnan Germanium and other domestic competitors has resulted in intensified competition in the germanium substrate market. If the Company is unable to maintain a competitive advantage in the production of the existing products and the development of new products, there is a risk that the Company’s share in the germanium substrate market will be reduced, the revenue or gross profit of the Company generated therefrom may be further decreased.
(VI) Risk of intensification of international trade disputes
Since 2018, the trade disputes between the U.S.A. and China have been growing in intensity. Between 2018 and 2020, the US government imposed additional tariffs on certain
3-1-2-28
products imported from China, while the Chinese government also imposed additional tariffs on certain products imported from the U.S.A. In the future, the US government and the Chinese government may continue to impose additional tariffs on and other trade barriers against certain products imported from each other.
The continuous intensification of US-China trade disputes will have far-reaching adverse influence on the global semiconductor industry. If the Chinese government imposes additional tariffs on the raw materials purchased by us from U.S.A. or the US government imposes additional tariffs on the products sold by us to U.S.A., our production costs will increase and product prices will lose competitive advantage, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating revenues, results of operation and financial condition.
In addition, given the fact that part of the Company’s raw materials such as high-purity arsenic and indium phosphide polycrystalline and equipment such as single crystal furnaces are imported, the export of relevant raw materials and equipment may be restricted due to changes in the international trade policies of the producing countries, or the purchase prices of the Company may increase significantly due to changes in tariffs, resulting certain effects on the Company’s profitability and production and operation to some extent.
(VII) Risks arising from changes in regulatory policies of the industry
The Company mainly operates in China, and its production and operation shall comply with relevant Chinese laws and regulations on production safety, environmental protection, use of hazardous chemicals, etc. In 2003, gallium was included in the “Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals”. In 2015, gallium arsenide was listed as a dangerous chemical by the State Administration of Work Safety. The continuous tightening of regulatory policies in the industry requires the Company to strengthen the management of production, to ensure the legality and compliance of its production and operation. If the Company and its subsidiaries fail to comply with the relevant laws and regulations, they may have to assume heavy liabilities or be subject to the suspension of relevant business due to the removal of hazardous waste, personal injury or administrative punishment. The occurrence of the foregoing events may have material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial status and operating results.
3-1-2-29
(VIII) Risks in technology renewal
In the development of semiconductor materials, with technological breakthroughs in silicon-based materials, there is a risk that gallium arsenide substrates may be replaced by SOIs (SOIs) in radio frequency devices and other application fields. SOIs have certain performance advantages over silicon substrates. Though the radio frequency devices manufactured with SOIs are not as good as products manufactured with gallium arsenide substrates in terms of power consumption, heat generation and transmission speed for the time being, their cost is lower than that of gallium arsenide substrates, and the former has partially substituted the latter in smart phone and other application fields. If the cost performance of SOIs or other new substrate products is further improved and gains broader recognition in the market, or is used in more application scenarios, the scope of application of III-V compound semiconductor substrate materials will be narrowed, which may have adverse impact on the Company’s business and operating results.
(IX) Risks in market competition
The industry which the Company is engaged in has a high degree of market concentration. The III-V compound semiconductor substrate and germanium substrate products manufactured by the Company compete directly with Sumitomo, JX of Japan, Freiberger, Umicore and other international leading companies worldwide. All of the foregoing international competitors have strong R&D capabilities, technical reserves, sales channels and market reputation, and may also develop more advanced technologies and launch more competitive new products. Meanwhile, these competitors also have core technologies that are similar to the Company’s VGF technology.
With the continuous growth of the semiconductor terminal application market in China, the market of compound semiconductor materials has been developing rapidly, and new projects of III-V compound semiconductor materials are also emerging. The Company will face competitions from both international leading companies and new Chinese entrants, leading to the decline of prices of the Company’s products. If the Company is unable to deal with such competition effectively, the Company’s operating revenues, operating results and financial status will be affected adversely.
3-1-2-30
(X) Risk in the loss of key personnel
The industry which the Company is engaged in is highly technology-intensive, and there is a large demand for professional talents, especially R&D personnel and outstanding management staff. With the continuous growth of market demand and the increasingly fierce competition in the industry, the competition for professional technical talents in the semiconductor materials industry has been intensifying. If the Company is unable to provide a better platform for development, salary packages that are more competitive in the market and good R&D conditions, the Company may be exposed to the risk of losing key personnel. The loss of key personnel of the Company will have adverse impact on its business.
(XI) Risk in the leakage of core technologies
With the long-term technology R&D and process accumulation, the Company has owned a series of independent intellectual property rights and technical know-hows. The Company attaches much importance to the protection of its core technologies. However, if the network security system of the Company or its suppliers cannot avoid unauthorized accesses, complex network attacks, or the any intellectual property right or technical know-how of the Company is leaked due to the improper handling of sensitive data by the Company’s employees or suppliers, the Company’s reputation and competitive position may be seriously endangered, which will further affect the Company’s business development and operating results adversely.
VIII. Analysis of the Issuer’s market prospect
1. Global industrial transfer brings important opportunities for the development of China’s semiconductor industry
In the history, the global semiconductor industry chain has experienced two geographical industrial transfers. The first transfer was from the United States to Japan in the 1970s, and the second transfer was from Japan to South Korea and Taiwan, China in the 1980s. At present, the global semiconductor industry is in the process of transferring to the Chinese mainland. Semiconductor materials are still a relatively weak link in the semiconductor industry of China. Under the background of the transfer of the semiconductor industry to the Chinese mainland, the Chinese mainland, as the world’s
3-1-2-31
largest semiconductor terminal application market, is expected to attract more domestic and foreign semiconductor companies to build their factories in the Chinese mainland, which will further enhance the overall development of the domestic compound semiconductor industry chain. It is expected that in the future, the supporting environment of the compound semiconductor industry chain in the Chinese mainland will be greatly improved, and the market share will keep expanding.
2. New opportunities brought by new demands generated by new applications
Although III-V compound semiconductor substrate materials have excellent performance, they have been limited by the small scale of the downstream application market and their high costs for a long time. As a result, their market scale is much smaller than that of silicon substrate materials. However, in recent years, a number of new application fields for III-V compound semiconductors have emerged, bringing incremental markets for substrate companies, such as Mini LED, Micro LED, wearable device sensors, automotive LIDAR, biometric lasers, etc. Such demands are all in the process of industrialization. Due to the low base of the III-V compound substrate market scale, the turnover of each of the foregoing markets will have a significant driving effect on the entire III-V semiconductor substrate market. Besides, for the inherent application field of III-V compound semiconductors, in the markets for optical modules in base stations and data centers, smart phones and base station radio frequency devices, the rapid development of 5G communications, big data and cloud computing has also brought new opportunities to the construction of 5G base stations, the construction of data centers and upgrade of 5G smartphone, all of which are great growth points in the III-V semiconductor substrate market.

(IV) Main risks of the Issuer
1. Relevant risks in the listing of the Company and its controlling shareholder AXT respectively on the STAR Market and NASDAQ.
After the current listing of the Company’s A-shares, the Company and its controlling shareholder AXT will respectively be listed on the STAR Market and NASDAQ. The Company and AXT shall abide by laws and regulations and listing supervision requirements of regulatory authorities of the two places Meanwhile. Information that needs to be disclosed publicly according to law shall be disclosed at both places Meanwhile.
Due to differences in laws and regulations as well as regulatory concepts between China and the United States, the Company and AXT are governed by different accounting standards and different regulatory requirements. Thus, there will be certain differences in specific accounting treatments and financial information disclosure. Meanwhile, due to differences in information disclosure requirements for listed companies raised by the securities regulatory authorities as well as differences in languages, cultures and expression habits, differences in the composition of investors and investment philosophies in China and the United States and differences in the specific conditions of the capital market, there may be differences between the stock price of the Company listed on the STAR Market and that listed on NASDAQ. This difference and AXT’s stock price fluctuations may affect the stock price of the Company listed on the STAR Market.
On December 18, 2020, the Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act became law officially in the United States. It is stipulated by the “Holding Foreign Companies Accountable Act” that, starting from 2021, if the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (hereinafter referred to as the “SEC”) determines that a foreign company listed in the United States has hired any foreign (as opposed to the U.S., the same below)
3-1-3-4
auditor that cannot be inspected by the U.S. Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (hereinafter referred to as “PCAOB”) for three consecutive years, the SEC will prohibit its securities registered in the U.S. from being traded on any U.S. national securities exchange (such as the NASDAQ or NYSE) or through over-the-counter trading.
If the annual audit report of a company listed in the U.S. is issued by a foreign accounting firm, and the PCAOB is unable to conduct or fully conduct an inspection or investigation on such accounting firm due to the position of such foreign government, the SEC will identify such listed company and include it in the identified issuer list, that is, the list of pre-delisted companies. If a listed company is included in the list of pre-delisted companies for three consecutive years, the SEC will prohibit such company from trading its shares in any U.S. securities market.
As of the signing date of this Prospectus, AXT has not been included by the PCAOB in the list of pre-delisted companies.
AXT has disclosed in the Risk Factors chapter of its released 2021 Annual Report (FORM 10-K) the risk of being included by PCAOB in the list of pre-delisted companies. AXT believes that the possibility of its being included in the list of pre-delisted companies still cannot be ruled out.
2. Integration of subsidiaries and management risks
During the reporting period, the Company completed the acquisition of Chaoyang Tongmei, Baoding Tongmei, Chaoyang Jinmei, Nanjing Jinmei, Beijing Boyu, AXT-Tongmei and other companies through the merger of companies under the same control. Such companies are mainly engaged in the R&D, production and sale of GaAs substrates, PBN materials and other high-purity materials, as well as overseas purchase and overseas sale of semiconductor substrate materials, mainly in the United States. After the merger of the above subjects, the Company carried out their integration in operation management, R&D activities and other aspects. As of now, the business has been operated for over 12 months since the reorganization, and the operation is in good condition. However, if the Company fails to effectively implement the integration and management of the subsidiaries it holds, the Company’s future business activities may be affected to some extent.
3-1-3-5
3. Dependence on some key raw material suppliers and risk in raw material price fluctuations
The main raw materials required for the Company’s production include gallium metal, germanium ingots, quartz materials, high-purity arsenic, indium phosphide polycrystalline, boron trichloride, etc. The cost of raw materials accounts for a relatively high proportion in the production cost, and their price fluctuations will have certain impact on the Company’s performance. The Company usually purchases the foregoing main raw materials through purchase orders. As the above raw materials are not bulk commodities and there are few suppliers in the market, the Company relies on some key raw material suppliers to a certain extent, and the relevant suppliers may be unable to guarantee the long-term stable supply of the raw materials to the Company, so that the Company’s production and operation will be affected, leading to the failure to deliver products in time. In addition, the delayed supply of raw materials by a supplier may increase the production cost of the Company, and lead to delayed or reduced production, which will further affect the Company’s revenues and operating results.
4. The relocation of the factory resulted in risks in fluctuation of the gross profit margin of the products and the failure to meet the expected capacity with the new production line
In 2019, the Company started to relocate the GaAs production line from Beijing to Chaoyang, Liaoning and Baoding, Hebei, and re-hired the production staff. Due to the debugging of the production line and the low proficiency of the production staff, there were a large quantity of raw materials consumed and a low yield rate of GaAs substrates, and the original customer needed to re-verify the new production lines (to be completed around the first half of 2019). As a result, the operating costs were high, leading to large fluctuations in the gross profit margin of the Company’s GaAs substrates during the reporting period. According to simulation calculation, the increase in yield rate after the relocation of the production lines, the change in remunerations for the staff, the reduction in water and electricity costs, the redistribution of the production staff had an impact on the gross profit margin of GaAs substrates in 2020 and 2021 respectively, by 3.03% and 29.72%.
After the relocation of the GaAs production line, the InP substrates and germanium
3-1-3-6
substrates need to assume a larger part of depreciation of fixed assets. Meanwhile, the Company has also reassigned the original GaAs substrate workshop staff in Beijing to InP substrate and germanium substrate workshops, and the idle production capacity of GaAs substrates has not been fully converted into the production capacity of InP substrate and germanium substrates, resulting in fluctuations in the gross profit margin of the Company’s InP substrate and germanium substrate products to a certain extent.
The Company’s production lines in Chaoyang, Liaoning and Baoding, Hebei have improved the original production processes and enhanced the intelligence level. Although the foregoing production lines have been officially put into production, it will still take some time to adjust the new production line equipment and enhance the operating proficiency of the production staff. Thus, the Company’s production lines in Chaoyang, Liaoning and Baoding, Hebei are at the risk of not being able to achieve the design capacity stably, which may also result in fluctuations in the Company’s product gross profit margin to a certain extent.
5. Operating risk in relation to germanium substrates
Germanium substrates are now mainly used in the field of space satellite solar energy. Before 2014, the world’s major companies with mass production capacity for germanium substrates were the Issuer and Umicore. As AXT fully relocated its germanium substrate production base to China, the Company’s germanium substrate products gradually withdrew from the aerospace market of U.S. Thus, Umicore now has a higher global market share than the Company in terms of germanium substrates.
Due to the continuous growth of the global aerospace field and the commercial satellite market, Yunnan Germanium and other domestic germanium material upstream manufacturers have also started to enter the downstream germanium substrate market since 2014. At present, the Company and Yunnan Germanium are the two major germanium substrate manufacturers in the domestic market. According to the 2021 annual report of Yunnan Germanium, in 2021, it produced 282,800 pieces of photovoltaic-grade germanium products (converted to 4 inches), and expanded its production capacity by 200,000 pieces of 6-inch germanium substrates. With the growth of Yunnan Germanium’s output and sales of germanium substrates, there was a fierce competition in the price of germanium substrates between the Company and Yunnan Germanium. In 2021, the average unit price
3-1-3-7
of germanium substrates of the Company in the domestic market dropped from RMB289.04/piece to RMB226.23/piece, a decline of 7.89%. The entry of Yunnan Germanium and other domestic competitors has resulted in intensified competition in the germanium substrate market. If the Company is unable to maintain a competitive advantage in the production of the existing products and the development of new products, there is a risk that the Company’s share in the germanium substrate market will be reduced, the revenue or gross profit of the Company generated therefrom may be further decreased.
6. Risk of intensification of international trade disputes
Since 2018, the trade disputes between the U.S.A. and China have been growing in intensity. Between 2018 and 2020, the US government imposed additional tariffs on certain products imported from China, while the Chinese government also imposed additional tariffs on certain products imported from the U.S.A. In the future, the US government and the Chinese government may continue to impose additional tariffs on and other trade barriers against certain products imported from each other.
The continuous intensification of US-China trade disputes will have far-reaching adverse influence on the global semiconductor industry. If the Chinese government imposes additional tariffs on the raw materials purchased by us from U.S.A. or the US government imposes additional tariffs on the products sold by us to U.S.A., our production costs will increase and product prices will lose competitive advantage, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating revenues, results of operation and financial condition.
In addition, given the fact that part of the Company’s raw materials such as high-purity arsenic and indium phosphide polycrystalline and equipment such as single crystal furnaces are imported, the export of relevant raw materials and equipment may be restricted due to changes in the international trade policies of the producing countries, or the purchase prices of the Company may increase significantly due to changes in tariffs, resulting certain effects on the Company’s profitability and production and operation to some extent.
7. Risks arising from changes in regulatory policies of the industry
The Company mainly operates in China, and its production and operation shall comply with relevant Chinese laws and regulations on production safety, environmental protection, use of hazardous chemicals, etc. In 2003, gallium was included in the “Catalogue of Hazardous Chemicals”. In 2015, gallium arsenide was listed as a dangerous
3-1-3-8
chemical by the State Administration of Work Safety. The continuous tightening of regulatory policies in the industry requires the Company to strengthen the management of production, to ensure the legality and compliance of its production and operation. If the Company and its subsidiaries fail to comply with the relevant laws and regulations, they may have to assume heavy liabilities or be subject to the suspension of relevant business due to the removal of hazardous waste, personal injury or administrative punishment. The occurrence of the foregoing events may have material adverse impact on the Company’s business, financial status and operating results.
8 . Risks in technology renewal
In the development of semiconductor materials, with technological breakthroughs in silicon-based materials, there is a risk that gallium arsenide substrates may be replaced by SOIs (SOIs) in radio frequency devices and other application fields. SOIs have certain performance advantages over silicon substrates. Though the radio frequency devices manufactured with SOIs are not as good as products manufactured with gallium arsenide substrates in terms of power consumption, heat generation and transmission speed for the time being, their cost is lower than that of gallium arsenide substrates, and the former has partially substituted the latter in smart phone and other application fields. If the cost performance of SOIs or other new substrate products is further improved and gains broader recognition in the market, or is used in more application scenarios, the scope of application of III-V compound semiconductor substrate materials will be narrowed, which may have adverse impact on the Company’s business and operating results.
9. Risks in market competition
The industry which the Company is engaged in has a high degree of market concentration. The III-V compound semiconductor substrate and germanium substrate products manufactured by the Company compete directly with Sumitomo, JX of Japan, Freiberger, Umicore and other international leading companies worldwide. All of the foregoing international competitors have strong R&D capabilities, technical reserves, sales channels and market reputation, and may also develop more advanced technologies and launch more competitive new products. Meanwhile, these competitors also have core technologies that are similar to the Company’s VGF technology.
3-1-3-9
With the continuous growth of the semiconductor terminal application market in China, the market of compound semiconductor materials has been developing rapidly, and new projects of III-V compound semiconductor materials are also emerging. The Company will face competitions from both international leading companies and new Chinese entrants, leading to the decline of prices of the Company’s products. If the Company is unable to deal with such competition effectively, the Company’s operating revenues, operating results and financial status will be affected adversely.
10. Risk in the loss of key personnel
The industry which the Company is engaged in is highly technology-intensive, and there is a large demand for professional talents, especially R&D personnel and outstanding management staff. With the continuous growth of market demand and the increasingly fierce competition in the industry, the competition for professional technical talents in the semiconductor materials industry has been intensifying. If the Company is unable to provide a better platform for development, salary packages that are more competitive in the market and good R&D conditions, the Company may be exposed to the risk of losing key personnel. The loss of key personnel of the Company will have adverse impact on its business.
11. Risk in the leakage of core technologies
With the long-term technology R&D and process accumulation, the Company has owned a series of independent intellectual property rights and technical know-hows. The Company attaches much importance to the protection of its core technologies. However, if the network security system of the Company or its suppliers cannot avoid unauthorized accesses, complex network attacks, or the any intellectual property right or technical know-how of the Company is leaked due to the improper handling of sensitive data by the Company’s employees or suppliers, the Company’s reputation and competitive position may be seriously endangered, which will further affect the Company’s business development and operating results adversely.

Reasonable assurance is a high level of assurance, but dose not guarantee that an audit<br>conducted in accordance with<br>Auditing Standards<br><br>will always detect a material misstatement<br>when it exists. Misstatements may rise from fraud<br><br>or error are considered material if it is<br>reasonably expected that misstatement, individually ot collectively, could affect economic<br>decisions made by users of the financial statements based on the financial statements.<br><br><br>As part of an audit in accordance<br>with Auditing Standards, we exercise professional judgment<br>and maintain professional skepticism throughout the audit. We also:<br><br><br>(1)<br><br>Identify and assess the risks of material misstatement of financial statements due to fraud<br>or error, design and implement audit<br><br>procedures to address these risks, and obtain<br>sufficient and appropriate audit evidence as a basis for the auditing opinion. The risk of<br>not detecting a material misstatement resulting from fraud is higher than that resulting<br>from error, as fraud may invo<br>lve collusion, forgery, intentional omissions,<br>misrepresentations, or overrunning internal control.<br><br><br>(2)<br><br>U<br>nderstand<br>the<br>internal control relevant to the audit in order to design<br>appropriate<br>audit<br>procedures but not for the purpose of expressing an opinion on t<br>he effectiveness of internal<br>control<br>s<br>..<br><br><br>(3)<br><br>Evaluate the appropriateness of accounting policies used and the r<br>ationality<br><br>of accounting<br>estimates and related disclosures made by the management.<br><br><br>(4)<br><br>Conclude on the appropriateness of the going concern assumption ad<br>opted by the<br>management<br>..<br><br>A<br>nd<br><br>based on the audit evidence obtained,<br>it is concluded<br><br>whether a<br>there is<br>material uncertainly<br><br>in<br>events or conditions that may<br>cause<br><br>significant doubt on the<br>Company<br>’<br>s ability to continue as a going concern. If we conclude that there is a material<br>uncertainty, we are required by the<br>A<br>uditing<br>S<br>tandards to<br>bring relevant disclosures in the<br>financial statements to the attention of the users of the statements in our<br>Audito<br>r’s Report<br>;<br><br>Auditor<br>’<br>s Report<br>;<br><br>if such disclosures are inadequate,<br>we should express unqualified<br>opinions<br>..

Details are set out in Note<br>XI.<br><br><br>For share<br>-<br>based payments that are finally not exercised due t<br>o failure to satisfy the non<br>-<br>market conditions and/ or restrictions of service period, no cost or expense is<br>recognized. Where the market conditions or non<br>-<br>vesting conditions are specified in the<br>share<br>-<br>based payment agreement, it is deemed as exercisable i<br>f all the other conditions<br>on performance and/ or service period are satisfied, irrespective of whether the market<br>conditions or non<br>-<br>vesting conditions are satisfied.<br><br><br>If the terms of the equity<br>-<br>settled share<br>-<br>based payments are modified, the services<br>recei<br>ved are recognized at least in accordance with the circumstances where the terms<br>are not modified. In addition, for modification that increases the fair value of the equity<br>instruments granted, or the changes that are beneficial to the staff at the modific<br>ation<br>date, the Group recognizes an increase in services received.<br><br><br>If the equity<br>-<br>settled share<br>-<br>based payments are canceled, the Group accounts for the<br>cancellation as an acceleration of vesting, and recognizes immediately the amount that<br>otherwise would h<br>ave been recognized over the remainder of the vesting period. When<br>the staff or counterparty can choose whether to meet the non<br>-<br>vesting condition but the<br>condition is not met during the vesting period, the Group treats it as a cancellation of<br>the equity<br>-<br>se<br>ttled share<br>-<br>based payments. However, where a new equity instrument is<br>granted and the new equity instrument is deemed as<br>a<br><br>replacement of the canceled<br>equity instrument at the grant date, the alternative equity instrument is treated in the<br>same manner as m<br>odification of the terms and conditions of the original equity<br>instrument. |

In making these judgements and estimates, the Group<br>concludes the expected changes in credit risks of the debtor on the basis of historical<br>repayments, in combination with economic policies, macro economic index, industrial<br>risks, etc. Dif<br>ferent estimates may affect the provision for impairment, therefore the<br>impairment provision made may be different fro the actual future impairment losses.<br><br><br>Impairment of non<br>-<br>current assets other than financial assets (exclusive of goodwill)<br><br><br>The Group det<br>ermines whether there is indication that the non<br>-<br>current assets other than<br>financial assets may be impaired at the balance sheet date.

An impairment has occurred when the carrying amount of<br>an asset or asset group is higher than its recoverable amount, i.e. the higher of fair value<br>net of the cost of disposal and the present value of expected future cash flows.<br>The fair<br>value net of cot of disposal is determined by reference to the contractual selling price<br>or observable market price of similar assets in a fair transaction less the incremental<br>cost directly attributable to the disposal of the asset. In estimating<br><br>the present value of<br>future cash flows, the management is required to estimate the future cash flows of the<br>asset or asset group, and determines the present value of future cash flows by applying<br>appropriate discount rate. |

The Group<br>considers that the Group retains substantially all of their risks and rewards, including<br>th<br>e risk of default associated with them, and therefore continues to fully recognize them<br>and the accounts payable settled by them. After endorsement, the Group reserves no<br>right to use them, including the right to sell, transfer or pledge them to other thir<br>d<br>parties.

The Group considers that the Group has transferred almost all of their<br>risks and rewards and therefore terminates the recog<br>nition of the book values of them<br>and the accounts payable settled by them.

While<br>determining whether credit risk has increased significantly since initial recognit<br>ion, the<br>Group considers obtaining reasonable and evidenced information, including qualitative<br>and quantitative analysis based on the Group’s historical data, external credit risk<br>ratings and forward<br>-<br>looking information, without unnecessary additional cost<br>s or<br>efforts.On the basis of a single financial instrument or a portfolio of financial<br>instruments with similar credit risk characteristics, the Group compares the risk of<br>default on the balance sheet date with the risk of default on the initial recognitio<br>n date<br>to to determine the changes in the risk of default that are expected to occur during the<br>life span of a Financial Instrument.<br><br><br>The Group considers that the credit risk of financial instruments has increased<br>significantly when one or more of the foll<br>owing quantitative, qualitative or capped<br>indicators are triggered:<br><br><br>(1)<br><br>The quantitative criterion is mainly that the probability of default in the<br>remaining period of the reporting date increases by more than a certain percentage from<br>the initial confirmatio<br>n;<br><br>(2)<br><br>The qualitative criteria are mainly significant adverse changes in the debtor's<br>operating or financial situation, early warning of customer lists, etc.;<br><br>(3)<br><br>The capping indicator is that the debtor's contract payments (including principal<br>and<br>interest) are more than 30 days overdue.<br><br><br>Definition of assets that have incurred credit impairment<br><br>The Group adopted the defining criteria consistent with the internal credit risk<br>management objectives for the relevant financial instruments and took quant<br>itative and<br>qualitative indicators into account to determine whether credit impairment has<br>occurred. When assessing whether a debtor has incurred credit impairment, the Group<br>mainly considers the following factors:<br><br><br>(1)<br><br>The issuer or the debtor has incurred si<br>gnificant financial difficulties;<br><br>(2)<br><br>The debtor breaches the contract, such as default or overdue payment of interest<br>or principal;<br><br>(3)<br><br>The creditor gives concessions to the debtor that would not have been made<br>under any other circumstances for economic or contra<br>ctual reasons related to the<br>debtor's financial difficulties;<br><br>(4)<br><br>The debtor is likely to become insolvent or undergo other financial<br>reorganizations;<br><br>(5)<br><br>The financial difficulties of the issuer or debtor lead to the disappearance of the<br>active market for the fin<br>ancial asset; |

Key parameters for the<br>expected credit loss measurement include<br>the probability of default, the default loss ratio, and the exposure to default risk. Taking<br>into account quantitative analysis and forward<br>-<br>looking information on historical<br>statistical data (e.g. counterparty ratin<br>g, collateral type, way of repayment, etc.),<br><br>the<br>Group establishes a model of the probability of default, the default loss ratio and the<br>exposure to default risk.<br><br><br><br>Relevant definitions are as follows:<br><br>(1)<br><br>Probability of default is the likelihood that the debt<br>or will not be able to perform<br>its repayment obligations for the next 12 months or for the remaining duration. The<br>probability of default of the Group is adjusted on the basis of the results of the migration<br>rate model and credit rating model, inputting fo<br>rward<br>-<br>looking information, to reflect<br>the probability of default of the debtor against the current macroeconomic environment;<br><br>(2)<br><br>The default loss ratio refers to the expectations of the Group to the extent of loss<br>resulting from the exposure of default risk.<br>The loss rate of default varies according to<br>the type of counterparties, the way and priority of recourse, and the collateral. The loss<br>rate of default is the percentage of the exposure loss at the time of default, calculated<br>based on the future 12 months<br>or the entire duration of the period;<br><br><br>(3)<br><br>Default exposure refers to the amount by which the Group shall be reimbursed<br>in the event of a default for the next 12 months or for the remaining duration.<br><br><br>The assessment of a significant increase in credit risk and<br><br>the calculation of expected<br>credit impairment involve forward<br>-<br>looking information.

(I)Private property and land use right
According to the list of buildings provided by the Issuer, the title certificate, the results of inquiry on real estate registration, the Audit Report and the Legal Opinion on AXT-Tongmei, and subject to verification by our lawyers, as of the date of this Legal Opinion, the Issuer and its controlled subsidiaries have obtained the ownership certificate of 44 main properties, with a total floor area of 118,530.11 square meters; the Issuer and its controlled subsidiaries have obtained ownership certificates for a total of 26 land use rights with a total area of 376,143.00 square meters. Upon verification, we believe that the Issuer and its controlled subsidiaries legally own the house ownership and land use rights of which the ownership certificate has been obtained, and there is no property right dispute or potential property right dispute.
According to the list of buildings, drawings, construction procedures and other documents provided by the Issuer, and subject to confirmation by our lawyers through interview with the relevant person in charge of the Issuer, as of the date of this Legal Opinion, the Issuer and Baoding Tongmei, its controlled subsidiaries, have some buildings with no title certificate obtained, as detailed below:
1.Issuer
The total area of the main buildings for which the Issuer has not obtained a title certificate is about 19,244.15 square meters, accounting for a small proportion of about 13.60% in the total area of the main properties owned by the Issuer and its controlled subsidiaries, as detailed
3-3-1-34
in “(I) Private Property and Land Use Right” in Part X of the Lawyer's Report. Such buildings are located in the factory of the Issuer in Tongzhou District, Beijing, mainly involving partial plants of InP substrates, the power distribution room, the warehouse, and the canteen, etc. According to the representations of the Issuer, due to historical objective reasons, including the remote past of constructing the buildings, positioning of Tongzhou District as the Beijing Municipal Administrative Center, and industry adjustment in Tongzhou District, the Issuer has not obtained the title certificates for the buildings above, and is subject to risks that the competent authority may order to stop using such buildings.
In view of the above situation, according to the representations of the Issuer and subject to confirmation by our lawyers through interview with the relevant person in charge of the Issuer, the InP project in Kazuo Factory has been approved by the local government and is expected to enter the production and commissioning stage in 2022. In the future, if a government authority in Beijing requires the InP plant without the ownership certificate to stop production, the Company has reserved enough space and related facilities in Kazuo Factory to relocate the InP furnace in the plant to ensure effective production. According to the representations of the Issuer, except for the InP production plant and its affiliated houses, no other building without a title certificate is main production and operation property of the Issuer at present, and the absence of a title certificate for the above buildings will not cause material adverse effect on the production and operation of the Issuer.

In summary, given that the proportion of the area of the Issuer’s buildings with no title certificate in the total area of the main properties owned by the Issuer and its controlled subsidiaries is low, the Issuer has formulated corresponding response plans for the InP production plant and its affiliated houses, no other building without a title certificate is main
3-3-1-35
production and operation property of the Issuer at present, the absence of a title certificate for the above buildings will not cause material adverse effect on the production and operation of the Issuer, and the Issuer has not received any administrative punishment from the competent authorities due to such absence during the reporting period, we believe that the absence of a title certificate for some buildings of the Issuer will not cause substantive obstacles in this offering.

The Company pays close attention to new technologies, new devices and new application scenarios in the academic and industrial circles, actively cooperates with the R&D process of downstream customers, and introduces its substrate products into new application scenarios in advance.

3-3-1-65
In RMB0’000
| Entity/Item | Total assets at end of 2019 | Operation revenue in 2019 | Total profits of 2019 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Beijing Tongmei A | 80,072.95 | 35,728.47 | -1,507.98 |
| Baoding Tongmei B | 28,635.15 | 1,953.43 | -2,902.24 |
| Chaoyang Tongmei C | 24,219.28 | 2,470.16 | -1,457.28 |
| Chaoyang Jinmei D | 7,005.23 | 1,095.62 | 360.31 |
| Nanjing Jinmei E | 9,340.66 | 5,781.28 | 942.58 |
| Beijing Boyu F | 12,659.92 | 9,492.30 | 1,541.82 |
| Offsetting Transactions with Reorganizer G | -8,238.45 | -8,856.82 | -881.63 |
| Total amount of acquired entity H(=B+C+D+E+F+G) | 73,621.79 | 11,935.97 | -2,396.44 |
| Proportion (=H/A) | 91.94% | 33.41% | N/A |
In accordance with the provisions of “Opinions on Application of Article 12 (No material change happens on main operating business of the Issuer in recent 3 years) of The Measures for the Administration of Initial Public Offering and Listing of Stocks - Opinions No. 3 on Application of Securities and Futures Laws” (hereinafter “Opinions No. 3”), If the Issuer restructures the same, similar or relevant businesses under the same corporate controlling person during the reporting period, and the total assets of the restructured party at the end of the accounting year immediately preceding the restructuring or its operating income or total profits of preceding accounting year are not less than 100% of corresponding item of the Issuer prior to restructuring, the Issuer cannot apply for public offering until it has operated for an accounting year after restructuring so that investors can know the overall operation after restructuring. If there is any related transaction between the restructured party and the Issuer in the accounting year prior to the restructuring, the total assets, operating income or total profits shall be calculated based on the standard after deducting such transaction.
As showed in aforesaid form, the total assets at end of 2019, the operating income and total profits of the restructured party in 2019 were less than corresponding items of the Issuer, so it does not fall in the circumstance stipulated by Opinions No. 3 where the application can only be made after operating for a full accounting year after restructuring; the time of completing this asset restructuring and comparison of relevant financial indexes comply with relevant laws and statutes.

(II) Verification procedures and opinions
Our Attorney has carried out the following verification procedures with respect to the aforesaid issues:
Checking resolutions of general meetings and the board meetings, articles of association, equity transfer agreement, capital increase agreement, industrial & commercial registration materials and the new business license after change, consulting relevant provisions of Guide on Application of Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 20 - Business Combinations, and checking the time of completion of this asset restructuring;

According to the instructions of the Company, the instructions of AXT and the interview with Chairman of AXT and the General Manager of the Issuer by our lawyers, the Company is in the semiconductor material industry, whose business development does not rely heavily on trademarks, so the above trademarks are not necessary for the production and operation of the Company. As a holding subsidiary of AXT, the Company mainly uses relevant trademark patterns in daily management of enterprise, internal identification in plant and product packaging. In order to ensure the continuity of the Company’s business management and trademark use, the Company signed a Trademark License Agreement with AXT on November 4, 2021, which stipulates that: AXT will license the above trademarks to the Company and its subsidiaries for free as an integral part of the Company’s corporate name for the manufacture, marketing and sale of products; The license term begins on March 1, 2021 and is valid forever.
In summary, AXT has licensed the relevant registered trademarks owned by itself to the Company for free.

The Sponsor and Issuer’s Attorney shall specify whether the Issuer business is complete, whether the relevant sales, procurement, assets, personnel and technology are confused with the controlling shareholders and the companies they control and share in and whether the Issuer has verification procedures, evidences and conclusions performed for the independent ability to continue operations directly to the market, and give a clear opinion on whether the Issuer meets the requirements of the relevant rules for business integrity and independence.
Reply:
( I ) Basic information of the Issuer
3-3-1-74
According to the relevant materials, clarifications and confirmation letters provided by the Issuer and AXT, and through the interview with the chairmen of the Issuer and AXT by our Attorney, the relationship between the Issuer and its controlling shareholder AXT in terms of sales, procurement, assets, labor force, technology and so on, is as follows:
As regards sales and procurement, before March 2021, based on the unified arrangement within the Group, the Issuer sold semiconductor substrate material products and also purchased some main raw materials overseas through AXT. After March 2021, the business handover between AXT and AXT-Tongmei, a subsidiary of the Issuer, was completed whereupon AXT-Tongmei was independently responsible for overseas procurement and sales, while AXT no longer engaged in specific business after accomplishing the ongoing orders.
As regards assets and technology, in addition to independent plants, equipment and sound production processes, the Issuer has formed patented and non-patented technologies during production and R&D. In November 2021, the Company entered into a Technology License Agreement and a Trademark License Agreement with AXT, whereby it is agreed that AXT shall grant the Company and its controlled subsidiaries licenses to use AXT’s intellectual property rights, patents (whether issued or pending) and trademarks on a perpetual basis. In 2021, AXT-Tongmei, a subsidiary of the Company, rented real estate from AXT as office space against paying the corresponding rent, the real estate of which is only used by AXT-Tongmei for daily office work, without a material impact on the Company’s business and asset independence.
As regards labor force, since March 2021, AXT has handed over its business to AXT-Tongmei, with its relevant sales, procurement and R&D teams having signed labor contracts with the latter, while only retaining some necessary personnel to be responsible for information disclosures, investor relations, finances and other related matters in the US capital market. The Issuer independently perform funtions such as procurement, sales, R&D and management.
To sum up, the Issuer maintains its business integrity, having no confusion with AXT and the companies controlled or invested by the latter in respects of relevant sales, procurement, assets, labor force and technology. The Issuer has the ability to directly conduct market-oriented operations as an independent going concern.
(II) The verification procedures performed and the verification evidences on whether the business of the Issuer is complete, whether the
3-3-1-75

3-3-1-82
Pursuant to the Administrative Measures on the Appraisal of State-owned Assets (State Council Order No. 91, November 1991) and the Rules on the Implementation of the Administrative Measures on the Appraisal of State-owned Assets (GZBF [1992] No. 36) and other applicable provisions, the exit of Industrial Development Zone Corporation from Tongmei Limited shall be subject to an asset appraisal, and is required to obtain a confirmation notice issued by the competent state-owned assets administrative authorities in charge of examination and approval matters, or file the appraisal result with the competent state-owned assets administration authorities.
According to the documents and clarifications from AXT and Industrial Development Zone Corporation, as well as the confirmation by interviewing with relevant principals of the People’s Government of Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing, the above equity transfer occurred in June 2000. Irrespective of efforts to find informed personnel and search relevant historical files with supports from the competent government authorities, no relevant archives on the procedures for the transfer of state-owned assets such as appraisal request, asset appraisal and confirmation of amount appraised regarding this equity transfer or the payment for the equity transfer price can be located due to the long time span, the death or resignation of the original handlers and other reasons, with defects thereon.
In view of the above, to solve historical problems, prevent the loss of state-owned assets and support the listing of the Issuer, relevant government departments of Tongzhou District have, under the organization of the People’s Government of Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing, jointly approved the implementation of retroactive audit and evaluation procedures on the above matters (taking May 31, 2000 as the base date), and determined that the People’s Government of Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing and the Tongzhou Management Committee of Zhongguancun Science Park (i.e. the Park Management Committee of the People’s Government of Tongzhou District, Beijing) shall jointly confirm the retrospective audit and appraisal results, and issue corresponding supporting materials according to the listing-related audit requirements.
Tihuasic (Beijing) Certified Public Accountants Co., Ltd. and Tianhua Xiangtong (Beijing) Assets Appraisal Co., Ltd. respectively issued the Audit Report of Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. (Tianhua Zhengxin (2022) Shen Zi No. N006 ) and the Retrospective

Assets Appraisal Report of All Interests of Shareholders in Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. Involved by the Equity Value Intended to be Known by Beijing Tongzhou District Industrial Development Zone Corporation and Beijing Tongmei Xtal Technology Co., Ltd. (Tianhua Xiangtong (2022) No. 2-1). According to the retrospective audit and appraisal results, as of May 31, 2000, the value of equity interests of shareholders in Beijing Tongmei is RMB48.24 million; as calculated based on 1% equity interest, the value of equity interest held by Industrial Development Zone Corporation in Beijing Tongmei is RMB482,400. Upon the mutual agreement between Industrial Development Zone Corporation and AXT and the confirmation by entering into a written supplementary agreement, AXT shall pay Industrial Development Zone Corporation a sum of RMB1,101,686 in principal and interest for the equity transfer, and as of the date hereof, such amount has been fully paid
In March 2022, the superior competent authorities of Industrial Development Zone Corporation i.e. the People’s Government of Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing and the Tongzhou Management Committee of Zhongguancun Science Park jointly issued a Statement of Fact, confirming that “the appraisal method and result as used by the retrospective appraisal are reasonable, and accordingly, the equity transfer price is determined to be RMB482,400. Industrial Development Zone Corporation has received the equity transfer price and interest thereof, totaling RMB1,101,686 in full”; “The Industrial Development Zone Corporation has performed the retrospective appraisal procedure for its exit from Tongmei Limited, the transfer price has been paid in full, and the equity transfer is true and valid, in compliance with the relevant laws and regulations on the transfer of state-owned assets, without any damage to the legitimate rights and interests of the state, the collective and other third parties, and without any dispute or potential risk.” In addition, according to the interview with relevant leaders of the People’s Government of Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing by our lawyers, the quit procedures of the Development Zone Head Office from the Issuer are complete, and the equity transfer is true and effective.
In conclusion, the exit of Industrial Development Zone Corporation from Tongmei Limited has performed such procedures as the decision-making of the board of directors of Tongmei Limited, the approval of Beijing Tongzhou District Foreign Economic and Trade Commission and the industrial and commercial change procedure. The defects of failure to locate relevant archives on the procedures for the transfer of state-owned assets such as appraisal request, asset appraisal and confirmation of amount appraised regarding such equity
3-3-1-84
transfer and the payment for the equity transfer price have been rectified by the entities involved having performed the retrospective appraisal procedures and obtained the confirmation from the competent authorities, and the transfer price has been settled, which is in compliance with the applicable laws and regulations on the transfer of state-owned assets.
(II) Impact of the failure to find the documents in relation to the auditing appraisal and transfer price on the validity of the equity change
According to the requirements on this offering and listing, AXT and the Issuer have applied to Industrial Development Zone Corporation for confirming the fact of the equity transfer. Industrial Development Zone Corporation issued a Statement of Fact on December 19, 2021, confirming that “Industrial Development Zone Corporation invested in and became a shareholder of Tongmei Limited in August 1998, and entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement with AXT, Inc. in June 2000, thereby transferring all shares held in Tongmei Limited to AXT, Inc., and the approval and industrial and commercial change procedures have been completed with Beijing Tongzhou District Foreign Economic and Trade Commission, AXT, Inc. therefore became the sole shareholder of Tongmei Limited”.
In addition, with respect to the defects of failure to locate relevant archives on the procedures for the transfer of state-owned assets such as appraisal request, asset appraisal and confirmation of amount appraised regarding this equity transfer or the payment for the equity transfer price, the superior competent authorities of Industrial Development Zone Corporation i.e. the People’s Government of Zhangjiawan Town of Tongzhou District, and Tongzhou Administrative Commission of Zhongguancun Science and Technology Park jointly issued a Statement of Fact on March 18, 2022, confirming that “the Industrial Development Zone Corporation has performed the retrospective appraisal procedure for its exit from Tongmei Limited, the transfer price has been paid in full, in compliance with the relevant laws and regulations on the transfer of state-owned assets, without any damage to the legitimate rights and interests of the state, the collective and other third parties, and without any dispute or potential risk”. According to the interview with the relevant leaders of the People’s Government of Zhangjiawan Town, Tongzhou District, Beijing by our lawyers, the procedures for the quit of the Development Zone Head Office from the Issuer are complete, and the equity transfer is true and effective.
In conclusion, we believe that, the failure to find the documents in relation to the auditing
3-3-1-85
appraisal and transfer price.
(III) Whether the exit of Industrial Development Zone Corporation complies with the relevant laws and regulations on the transfer of state-owned assets, impairs the legitimate rights and interests of the state, the collective and other third parties, or exists any dispute or potential risk

2.Whether Nanjing Germanium Factory has completed the procedures necessary for the transfer of its obligations and rights (shares) under the joint venture contract to AXT, and whether such transfer is legal and in compliance with the law
In June 2017, Nanjing Germanium Factory transferred its obligations and rights (shares) under the Nanjing Jinmei joint venture contract to AXT. As indicated in the industrial and commercial registration materials of Nanjing Germanium Factory, when the above transfer took place, there were two shareholders of Nanjing Germanium Factory in total, i.e., Nanjing Zhongge Investment Management Co., Ltd.

On June 24, 2017, AXT made a shareholders’ resolution that the shareholding percentage (cooperation interest) of AXT in Nanjing Jinmei was changed from 88% to 100%, the type of company was changed from a Sino-foreign cooperative foreign-invested enterprise to a wholly foreign-owned enterprise; the original articles of association and the original cooperation agreement were terminated, and the new articles of association of Nanjing Jinmei were adopted.
On September 11, 2017, Nanjing Jinmei obtained the Business License renewed by the Market Supervision and Administration Bureau of Jiangning District, Nanjing City.
In conclusion, Nanjing Germanium Factory has completed the procedures necessary for the transfer of its obligations and rights (shares) under the joint venture contract to AXT, which is in compliance with laws and regulations.
(II) Background of and reasons for AXT’s holding of equity interest in Nanjing Jinmei on behalf of FAN Jiahua and other persons and the transfer of equity interest held by such persons
AXT, as a nominee of FAN Jiahua, FENG Yi, ZONG Hongxia and ZHANG Fengxiang, held a total of 5% equity in Nanjing Jinmei. From February 2018 to May 2019, AXT signed a Equity Exit Agreement with FAN Jiahua, FENG Yi and ZONG Hongxia (ZHANG Fengxiang, the husband of ZONG Hongxia, was passed away at the time of equity exit) respectively, pursuant to which all nominee holding was canceled.
According to the statement of AXT and the confirmation by interviewing with the entrusting holders namely FAN Jiahua, FENG Yi and ZONG Hongxia, at the time of the establishment of Nanjing Jinmei, FAN Jiahua served as the general manager and ZONG Hongxia served as the deputy general manager, ZHANG Fengxiang served as the executive director and financial director, and FENG Yi served as a consultant in Nanjing Jinmei. To motivate the above persons, AXT transferred a total of 5% equity interest in Nanjing Jinmei to FAN Jiahua, FENG Yi, ZONG Hongxia and ZHANG Fengxiang in September 2000, as Nanjing Jinmei was incorporated as a Sino-foreign cooperative enterprise, no individual may
3-3-1-91
be a Chinese partner to the enterprise, such part of equity interest was held by AXT on their behalf.
From February 2018 to May 2019, due to the advanced age of FAN Jiahua, FENG Yi and ZONG Hongxia, and the relocation of Nanjing Jinmei’s main production and operation site to another place, FAN Jiahua, FENG Yi and ZONG Hongxia requested to exit from Nanjing Jinmei and entered into the Equity Exit Agreement with AXT, agreeing to transfer all the equity interest held by them in Nanjing Jinmei to AXT. The above nominee holding has been completely released after consummation of such equity transfer. As of October 2020, FAN Jiahua, FENG Yi and ZONG Hongxia have received all the amounts payable for their equity exit.

1.4
The Sponsor and Issuer’s Attorney are advised to propose clear and definite verification opinions on whether the Issuer meets relevant requirements on independence as set out in Article 12 of the Measures for the Administration of the Registration of IPO Stocks on the Science and Technology Innovation Board (for Trial Implementation).
Reply:
(I) Whether the Issuer meets relevant requirements on independence as set out in Article 12 of the Measures for the Administration of the Registration of IPO Stocks on the Science and Technology Innovation Board (for Trial Implementation)
In accordance with Article 12 of the Measures for the Administration of the Registration of IPO Stocks on the Science and Technology Innovation Board (for Trial Implementation), requirements for independence to be met by the Issuer shall, specifically, include that: the Issuer has complete assets, independent business and personnel, finance and institution, has no horizontal competition with the controlling shareholder, the actual controller and other enterprises controlled by it, which has material adverse effects on the issuer, and has no affiliated transaction which seriously affects its independence or is evidently unfair. The Issuer meets these requirements for independence. The specific analysis is shown as follows:
In terms of assets, in November 2021, the Controlling Shareholder licensed its intellectual property rights, patents authorized and in application and relevant trademarks to the Company and its holding subsidiaries for permanent use. Such authorized patented technologies do not have a key impact in the current production and operation of the Company, and the relevant core technologies and patents of the Company are formed by independent research and development, and the relevant authorized trademarks are not ones necessary for the Company's
3-3-1-171
production and operation. As of the date of this Supplementary Legal Opinion, the property rights of assets among the Issuer, Controlling Shareholder and other companies controlled by it are clearly defined. The Issuer legally owns the ownership or right to use of such intellectual property rights as land, houses, equipment, trademarks, and patents pertaining to its production and operation. It is evident that Issuer’s assets are independent and complete.
In terms of business, in March 2021, AXT-Tongmei and AXT performed their business transition for semiconductor substrate materials; in May 2021, the Issuer completed the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei, incorporating business systems such as overseas sales into the Issuer. Before such business transition, the overseas sales of the Issuer with respect to semiconductor substrate material products were undertaken by its Controlling Shareholder AXT based on the internal arrangement of the Group, while the Issuer purchased some major raw materials overseas through AXT. After the business transition, AXT-Tongmei, the Company’s subsidiary, was independently responsible for overseas procurement and sales. AXT would no longer engage in specific business after completing subsequent orders. As of the date of this Supplementary Legal Opinion, the Issuer carries out business independently according to law. Moreover, all its businesses are independent of its Controlling Shareholder, and other companies it controls. The Issuer's production, supply and marketing system has been independent and complete, and the business has been carried out well.
In terms of human resources, after the business tranisition, AXT only retained some necessary personnel to be responsible for information disclosure, investor relations, and financial affairs in the U.S. capital market. Its sales, procurement, R&D and some financial and administrative personnel have been transferred to AXT-Tongmei. As of the date of this Supplementary Legal Opinion, no senior executives of the Issuer such as General Manager, Deputy General Manager, Financial Superintendent, and Board Secretary hold any positions other than directors and supervisors in the Controlling Shareholder of the Issuer and other enterprises controlled by it. Nor do they get paid from the Controlling Shareholder of the Issuer and other companies it controls.
3-3-1-172
In terms of finance, as of the date of this Supplementary Legal Opinion, the Issuer has an independent Financial Department with specialized financial personnel and an independent financial accounting system. Therefore, it can make financial decisions independently. Also, it has a standardized financial accounting system and a financial management system for its subsidiaries. The Issuer does not share bank accounts with the Controlling Shareholder of the Issuer and other companies it controls as it has established independent accounts for this purpose. No financial staff of the Issuer have concurrently hold offices in or get paid from the Controlling Shareholder and other companies it controls.
In terms of organization, as of the date of this Supplementary Legal Opinion, the Issuer has organized the General Meeting of Shareholders, the Board of Directors, the Board of Supervisors and other corporate governance structures in accordance with the Companies Law and the Articles of Association. What’s more, it has sound internal operation and management organizations and independent decision-making and execution organizations, facilitating that it can independently exercise the power of operation and management. In this case, there is no institutional confusion with the Controlling Shareholder of the Issuer and other companies it controls. After the completion of the asset reorganization, the Controlling Shareholder did not directly participate in the operation and management of the Company, and it exercised the relevant shareholder rights by exercising voting rights and nominating directors at the Company's shareholders' meeting/general meeting, and there was no situation in which it exceeded the authority of the board of directors to exercise the management right through the management or directly.
In terms of horizontal competition, in December 2020, AXT increased its capital to Beijing Tongmei with equity interests in Baoding Tongmei, Chaoyang Tongmei, Nanjing Jinmei, Chaoyang Jinmei and Beijing Boyu; in May 2021, the Issuer acquired AXT-Tongmei. After the completion of such reorganization and business transition, the Issuer has formed a complete industrial chain covering the research and development, production and sales of semiconductor substrate materials, the consumable PBN crucibles and important raw materials
3-3-1-173
high-purity metals. As of the date of this Supplementary Legal Opinion, AXT and other enterprises which are controlled by AXT do not have any substantive business operations, nor do they have any horizontal competition with the Issuer.
In terms of related-party transactions, after the business transition, AXT-Tongmei, the Company’s subsidiary, was independently responsible for overseas procurement and sales and AXT would no longer engage in specific business after completing subsequent orders. In addition, the related-party transactions during the reporting period between the Company and related parties have all followed the principles of fairness, voluntariness and reasonableness. All these related-party transactions are at fair price without jeopardizing the benefits of the Company and non-related shareholders. As of the date of this Supplementary Legal Opinion, there are no related-party transactions that may seriously affect the Issuer's independence or lack of fairness.
In conclusion, the Issuer has complete assets, independent business and personnel, finance and institution, has no horizontal competition with the controlling shareholder, the actual controller and other enterprises controlled by it, which has material adverse effects on the issuer, and has no affiliated transaction which seriously affects its independence or is evidently unfair. Therefore, these comply with relevant requirements for independence in Article 12 of the Measures for the Administration of the Registration of IPO Stocks on the Science and Technology Innovation Board (for Trial Implementation).

In consideration of the fact that the Company Law, the Regulations on the Administration of Registration of Market Entities and other laws and regulations have no provision that the industrial and commercial change registration is a condition to the effectiveness of equity transfer, the industrial and commercial change registration of equity interest is only an administrative act, and such change is aimed at making the relevant registration matters of a company public and become effective against a bona fide third party, and the Equity Transfer Agreement does not list the industrial and commercial change registration as a precondition to the equity transfer. Therefore, regardless of whether the industrial and commercial change registration of Baoding Tongmei is completed, the effectiveness of the Equity Transfer Agreement and the equity transfer shall not be affected, nor does the time of completing such industrial and commercial change registration affect the time of completing the equity transfer.
As confirmed through the interviews with MORRIS SHEN-SHIH YOUNG, the Chairman of Baoding Tongmei, and VINCENT WENSEN LIU, the General Manager of Baoding Tongmei, by our lawyers, Tongmei Limited obtained 100% equity interest in Baoding Tongmei on December 25, 2020, becoming the sole shareholder of Baoding Tongmei, owning relevant rights as a shareholder in accordance with the law, and controlling the financial and operational policies of Baoding Tongmei, it has obtained the control over Baoding Tongmei. The fact that the relevant industrial and commercial change registration of Baoding Tongmei was completed on January 12, 2021 has no effect on Tongmei Limited’s control over Baoding Tongmei.
In conclusion, as of December 29, 2020, Tongmei Limited has obtained the control over Baoding Tongmei.

(II) Reasons why the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei is not included in the scope of reorganization and the rationality thereof
1.The asset reorganization in December 2020 and the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei are two separate reorganizations implemented by the Company
To solve horizontal competition and integrate business resources, the Company implemented the asset reorganization in December 2020, upon the completion of such reorganization, the Company holds 100% equity interest in Beijing Boyu, Baoding Tongmei, Chaoyang Tongmei, Nanjing Jinmei and Chaoyang Jinmei. This reorganization is for production resources; after the completion of the said reorganization, the Company has integrated the supply of PBN crucibles, indium phosphide polycrystalline, high-purity gallium and other raw materials in the upstream of semiconductor substrate materials, and their main business covers the R&D, production and sale of semiconductor substrate materials, PBN materials and other high-purity materials. Before and after the reorganization, the Company fails to achieve the independent sale of overseas substrate materials. In this reorganization, the Company and the original shareholders of the reorganized parties entered into the Equity Transfer Agreement and the Capital Increase Agreement in December 2020, which have gone through the review procedure by the board of directors, the shareholders’ meeting or any other competent authority, and completed the payment of relevant amounts and the closing of assets in the same month.
According to the description of the Company, the Company’s acquisition of AXT-Tongmei is to make the Issuer directly face customers in the overseas substrate material market and further reduce related party transactions and horizontal competition, which is a further extension after the Company’s domestic reorganization, mainly intending to reorganize the channels for overseas procurement and the sales of semiconductor substrate materials. After the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei, the Issuer owns a full independent marketing ability in the overseas market. On May 6, 2021, the Company held a board meeting to review and approve the Company’s acquisition of 100% equity interest in AXT-Tongmei from AXT in cash. On
3-3-1-183
the same day, Beijing Tongmei entered into the Share Transfer Agreement with AXT.
According to the description of the Company, as the Company’s overseas investment is subject to the pre-approval procedures such as overseas investment filing, and the time of completion of such procedures is uncertain, the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei was not deliberated by the Company in its board meeting held in December 2020. The acquisition of AXT-Tongmei was deliberated and approved by the Company’s board of directors in May 2021 separately, such acquisition and the reorganization in December 2020 are not conditional on each other.
In addition, the agreements signed by the related parties above did not require that the two organizations shall be preconditioned on each other.
In conclusion, the asset reorganization by the Company in December 2020 and the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei by the Company in May 2021 are two separate reorganizations implemented by the Issuer in the fiscal year or period immediately before the Issuer submitted its IPO application documents.
2.Non-existence of circumvention of the Opinions on the Application of “No Major Change in the Issuer’s Main Business in the Last Three Years” under Article 12 of the Administrative Measures on the Initial Public Offering and Listing of Stocks - the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3 **(“**Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3”) in relation to the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei being not included in the scope of reorganization
(1) Relevant provisions of the Answers to Certain Questions on the IPO Business (Revised in June 2020)
According to the relevant provisions of “Question 36, Business Reorganization and Major Changes in Main Business” in the Answers to Certain Questions on the IPO Business (Revised in June 2020):
3-3-1-184
“The business reorganization of an issuer occurred during the reporting period shall be determined separately based on whether the reorganized business and the issuer are under the same control. If the business reorganization is under the same control, it shall be determined and handled in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3; if the business reorganization is not under the same control, it usually includes the acquisition of the equity interest or operating assets of the reorganized party, increasing the capital of the issuer, merging the reorganized party or otherwise with the equity interest or operating assets of the reorganized party. The issuer and intermediaries may pay attention to the following factors: …”; “If multiple reorganizations occur within 12 months, the impact of the reorganization on the issuer’s total assets, net assets, operating income or total profit shall be calculated on a cumulative basis.”
Both the Company’s asset reorganization in December 2020 and the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei in May 2021 are business reorganizations under the same control. According to the regulations above, they shall be determined and handled in accordance with the relevant requirements of the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Laws No. 3.
(2) Relevant provisions of the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3
According to the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3, if an issuer has undergone multiple reorganizations in the fiscal year or period immediately before its submission of the IPO application documents, the impact of such reorganizations on the issuer’s total assets, operating income or total profit shall be calculated on a cumulative basis.
According to the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3, the Issuer submitted its IPO application documents in December 2021, as required by the above provisions, the Issuer shall consolidate the reorganization (i.e., the reorganization of five entities, including Beijing Boyu) in the fiscal year immediately before its submission of IPO application documents; and the reorganization in the period immediately before its submission
3-3-1-185
of IPO application documents (i.e., the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei) will be calculated. After separately calculating the impact of the two reorganizations on the Issuer’s total assets, operating income or total profit, and then adding up them. As AXT-Tongmei had not actually operated in 2020 and did not open any bank account, the amount of paid-in capital and related financial indicators are all zero, and the proportion of the total assets, operating income or total profit of AXT-Tongmei to the relevant financial indicators of the Issuer in 2020 is also zero. Therefore, the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei does not affect the comparison of indicators of the reorganizing parties such as total assets, operating income or total profit in 2020. The fact that the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei is not included in the scope of reorganization does not circumvent the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3.
(III) Recalculation and comparison of indicators such as total assets, operating income and total profit of the reorganizing parties in 2020 after AXT-Tongmei is included in the scope of reorganization
1.Calculation based on the indicators of 2019
According to the financial statements of the reorganizing party (Tongmei Limited) and the reorganized party (the acquired party) provided by the Issuer during the reporting period, and upon confirmation through our interview with the CFO of the Issuer, in December 2020, the Issuer completed the acquisition of 5 entities including Beijing Boyu. The table below shows the comparison of relevant indicators of 2019:
In RMB0’000
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Entity/Item | Total assets as at the end of 2019 | Operating income in 2019 | Total profit in 2019 |
| Beijing Tongmei A | 80,072.95 | 35,728.47 | -1,507.98 |
| Baoding Tongmei B | 28,635.15 | 1,953.43 | -2,902.24 |
| Chaoyang Tongmei C | 24,219.28 | 2,470.16 | -1,457.28 |
| Chaoyang Jinmei D | 7,005.23 | 1,095.62 | 360.31 |
| Nanjing Jinmei E | 9,340.66 | 5,781.28 | 942.58 |
3-3-1-186
| Beijing Boyu F | 12,659.92 | 9,492.30 | 1,541.82 |
|---|---|---|---|
| Offsetting transactions against the reorganizing parties G | -8,238.45 | -8,856.82 | -881.63 |
| Total amount of the acquired parties H=B+C+D+E+F+G | 73,621.79 | 11,935.97 | -2,396.44 |
| Proportion (H/A) | 91.94% | 33.41% | 158.92% |
(1) The reorganization above is intended to integrate the industry chain, and the Company has been in operation for over one complete accounting year after the reorganization
The reorganized party Beijing Boyu is mainly responsible for the production and sales of PBN crucibles and other PBN materials, so as to provide PBN crucible consumables for the Issuer’s semiconductor substrate materials; the reorganized parties Nanjing Jinmei and Chaoyang Jinmei are responsible for the production and sales of high-purity gallium and other high-purity compounds, in which high-purity gallium is one of the main raw materials for the Issuer to produce gallium arsenide substrates; the reorganized parties Chaoyang Tongmei and Baoding Tongmei are mainly responsible for the production and sales of gallium arsenide, and its business and production line come from the Issuer’s production line that has been relocated.
In summary, the reorganization above is integration implemented focusing on the semiconductor substrate material business of the Issuer. The assets reorganization above did not lead to a change in the main business of the Issuer; instead, after the reorganization, related-party transactions are reduced and horizontal competition is avoided, which further enhanced the independence of the Issuer.
(2) Relevant indicators are in compliance with the relevant provisions of the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3
According to the above, neither the total assets as of the end of 2019 nor the indicators related to the operating revenue of the year exceeded 100%, but the calculation result of the total profits exceeded 100% because the profits of both parties are negative. However, with reference to relevant cases and practices on the market at present, such conditions are not included for the scope of indicator calculation. For details, refer to the explanation below.
3-3-1-187
In summary, with December 2020 as the completion time, the relevant indicators of 2019 are not subject to the circumstance provided in the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3 that the Offering may be requested only after operation for a complete accounting year. Moreover, by now, the Company has been in operation for over a complete accounting year from the completion time of the reorganization.
(3) Relevant cases on the market
① Shenzhen Pacific Union Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd.
During the reporting period, Shenzhen Pacific Union Precision Manufacturing Co., Ltd. established Put Tech (Hong Kong), and Put Tech (Hong Kong) acquired 100% equity interests in Pacific Union (Hong Kong). The total profit of the reorganized party is negative, and the Issuer did not include such total profits into the scope of calculation when explaining whether it was in compliance with the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3. The information disclosed is as follows:
In RMB0’000
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|

| Proportion=②/① | 23.41% | 63.00% | - |
② SICC Co., Ltd.
When SICC Co., Ltd. determined whether its acquisition of the equity interests in and assets of Tianyue Crystal in 2020 constituted major assets reorganization, given that the total profits of both the acquired entity and the acquiring entity in the previous year were negative, the impact on the total profits were not calculated. The information disclosed is as follows:
In RMB0’000
| | | | |
|---|---|---|---|
| End of 2019/2019 | Total assets | Operating revenue | Total profits |
| Book value of the reorganizing party ① | 115,032.01 | 26,567.32 | -16,531.68 |

| Proportion=②/① | 36.87% | 0.46% | - |
③ Beijing Qilin Hesheng Network Technology Co., Ltd.
In 2016, Beijing Qilin Hesheng Network Technology Co., Ltd. acquired the overseas entities APEX and Cybertron under common control with Beijing Qilin Hesheng Network Technology Co., Ltd. Given that the total profits of the reorganizing party and the reorganized parties in the previous year were negative, the Company did not include such total profits in the scope of calculation when explaining whether it is in compliance with the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3. The information disclosed is as follows:
In RMB0’000
| End of 2015/2015 | Total assets | Operating revenue | Total profits |

| Book value of the reorganized party ② | 3,670.03 | 5,516.54 | -13,994.18 |
| Proportion=②/① | 68.39% | >100% | - |
In summary, given that the total profits of both the Issuer and the reorganized party (excluding the related-party transaction with Tongmei Limited) were negative in 2019, and the loss of the reorganized party was greater than Tongmei Limited, this reorganization did not improve the total profits of Tongmei Limited in 2019; therefore, Tongmei Limited is not subject to the circumstance of making up profits, hence not subject to the circumstance provided in the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3 that the offering may be requested only after operation for a complete accounting year. Moreover, by now, the Company has been in operation for over a complete accounting year from the completion time of the reorganization.

According to the financial statements of the reorganizing party (Tongmei Limited) and the reorganized party (acquired party) provided by the Issuer during the reporting period, and
3-3-1-189
through the interview of our lawyers with the CFO of the Issuer, if AXT-Tongmei is included in the scope of reorganization, the process of recalculating and comparing indicators such as total assets of the reorganizing parties at the end of 2020, and operating income and total profit of the reorganizing parties in 2020 is as follows:

| Proportion (I/(A+J+K)) | 118.39% | 68.42% | 38.95% |
According to the table above, if AXT-Tongmei is included into the scope of reorganization, in 2020, the total assets, operating income, and total profit of the acquired entities excluding related-party transactions did not reach or exceed 100% of the relevant indicators of Tongmei Limited; therefore, it is not subject to the circumstance provided in the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3 that the Offering may be requested only after operation for a complete accounting year. The indicator of total assets may
3-3-1-190
exceed 100% only if May 2021 is taken as the completion time of the reorganization, the calculation is made based on the relevant indicators of 2020, and the additional capital contribution received by the Issuer from external investment institutions in 2020 are excluded.
From November to December 2020, 10 external institutions including Haitong New Energy entered into capital increase agreements and supplementary agreements with the Company, and such external institutions paid the additional capital contribution to the Issuer successively from November to December 2020 in the total of RMB314 million, including RMB149 million paid in November 2020 and RMB166 million paid in December 2020. The Issuer has made corresponding accounting treatment of the additional capital contributions received in November and December 2020.

In summary, in 2020, the total assets, operating income, and total profit of the acquired entities excluding related-party transactions did not reach or exceed 100% of the relevant indicators of Tongmei Limited; therefore, it is not subject to the circumstance provided in the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3 that the offering may be requested only after operation for a complete accounting year.
(IV) Details and relevant reasons of offsetting transactions among the reorganizing parties in 2019 and 2020
Pursuant to the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3, if an issuer reorganizes any identical, similar or related business under the same controller as a company during the reporting period, if the total assets of the reorganized party at the end of the fiscal year immediately before the reorganization or its total operating income or total profit in the last fiscal year reaches or exceeds 100% of the issuer’s corresponding item before the reorganization, in order to facilitate investors’ understanding of the overall operation after the reorganization, the issuer shall not apply for offering until it has operated for a full fiscal year. If the reorganized party has any related party transaction with the issuer before the reorganization in the fiscal year immediately before the reorganization, the total assets, operating income or total profit shall be calculated after deducting such transactions.
3-3-1-191
According to the above provisions, the reorganized party has deducted the total assets, operating income or total profit of Beijing Tongmei. According to the explanations provided by the Company and through the interview of our lawyers with the CFO of the Issuer, the details of the offsetting transactions in 2019 and 2020 are as follows:

(V) Verification procedures and opinions
Our Attorney has carried out the following verification procedures with respect to the aforesaid issues:
- Inspecting the resolutions of the shareholders’ meeting, the resolutions of the board of directors, the articles of association, the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Capital Increase Agreement, the industrial and commercial registration materials, the new business license issued after the change, and other documents and materials involved in the asset reorganization, and the latest articles of association of Baoding Tongmei after the asset reorganization, the
3-3-1-192
Company’s explanation and confirmation, inspecting the relevant provisions of the application guidance of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 20 - Business Mergers, and verifying the transaction process of Tongmei Limited’s acquisition of Baoding Tongmei;
Inspecting the latest business license obtained by Tongmei Limited after the asset reorganization, the Confirmation Letter on the Asset Reorganization issued by the Issuer, Baoding Tongmei and AXT, interviewing with the persons of Baoding Tongmei handling the industrial and commercial change registration and the officials of the industrial and commercial authorities, interviewing and confirming with MORRIS SHEN-SHIH YOUNG, Chairman of Baoding Tongmei, and VINCENT WENSEN LIU, General Manager of Baoding Tongmei, and verifying the reasons why the Company considers that it acquired the control over Baoding Tongmei on December 29, 2020;
Inspecting the financial statements of the reorganizing party (Tongmei Limited) and the reorganized party (the acquired entity) provided by the Issuer for the reporting period, calculating the total assets at the end of the fiscal year immediately before the reorganization or the percentage of the operating income or total profit in the fiscal year immediately before the reorganization to the corresponding item of the Issuer before the reorganization, and verifying whether it complies with the relevant laws and regulations such as the Opinions on Application No. 3.
Through verification, we believe that:
As of December 29, 2020, Tongmei Limited has obtained the control over Baoding Tongmei, and the relevant reasons therefor are sufficient;
The asset reorganization in December 2020 and the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei are two separate reorganizations implemented by the Company, the relevant indicators in relation to the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei will not affect the indicators of the reorganized party in the Issuer’s asset reorganization in December 2020 accounting for the Issuer’s total assets, operating income, or total profit. The fact that the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei is not included
3-3-1-193
in the scope of reorganization does not circumvent the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3;
- The total assets of the reorganized party at the end of 2019 and 2020, and the operating income and total profit of the reorganized party in 2019 and 2020 were lower than corresponding items of the Issuer, which is not the situation under which the entity shall not apply for offering until it has operated for a full fiscal year as provided for in the Opinions on the Application of the Securities and Futures Law No. 3.

As a whole, the core technologies of the Company do not infringe upon trade secrets, patents or other intellectual properties of other entities, and there is no dispute or potential dispute between the Company and relevant entity.
3-3-1-202
(III) Explanation about the suspected infringement of trade secret by the Company
The Company received a relevant Report Letter, alleging that: an involved employee of the Company participated in the research and development of PBN-PG composite heaters, PG process products, PBN clamping rods, and other core products during his employment at the reporting party, hence acquired core technologies of the reporting party, while such technology information was trade secret of the reporting party. At present, the involved employee is working for the Issuer and has acquired shares in the Issuer. The reporting party held that the Issuer and the involved employee were suspected of infringing the trade secret of the reporting party.
After self investigation by the Company into the reported matter above, the Company considers that all the core technologies above are developed independently with clear source, and therefore there is no infringement of the trade secret or other intellectual property rights of the reporting party. The details are as follows:
1.Relevant technologies and products involved in the reported matter
According to the interviews with the Attorney of the involved employee, the trade secrets involved in this case were related to the trade secrets of “the tooling of a PBN-PG composite heater PBN coating” and “a kind of PG coating preparation method of PBN-PG composite heater” asserted to be held by the reporting party. The above technology is related to the PBN field, but its corresponding products account for a relatively low percentage of revenue, so this technology is not one of the Company’s core technologies.
Pyrolytic graphite (PG), PBN-PG composite heater and PBN clamping rod described in the Report Letter belong to the products of Beijing Boyu, a controlled subsidiary of the Company, and do not involve technologies and products in the field of semiconductor substrates and high-purity materials, nor are they the main products in the field of PBN such as PBN crucibles.
3-3-1-203
The Company’s main PBN products are closely related to semiconductors, OLEDs and other fields, and the production of III-V family and wide band-gap compound semiconductor substrates and crucibles for OLED evaporation sources requires the use of PBN materials produced by the Company. The PBN clamping rod, PBN-PG composite heater and PG coating are used for traveling wave tube for communication, CIGS evaporation and coating crucible respectively, and are not strongly related to the Company’s products which are mainly involved in the downstream field.
During the reporting period, the revenues from semiconductor substrate materials, high-purity metals and compounds, and other products are the main source of revenues of primary business of the Company; in 2021, the revenues from PBN materials only account for 9.05% of revenues from primary business, a relatively low percentage. The total revenues generated by PG related products and relevant products of PBN-PG composite heaters are RMB38,200, RMB336,900 and RMB483,200 respectively, accounting for 0.01%, 0.06% and 0.06% of business incomes of the Company respectively, and no PBN clamping rod is sold; the revenues from aforesaid products have little influence on the production and operation of the Company.
2.Basis of determining that the relevant core technologies of the Company did not infringe the trade secret of the reporting party
(1) The Company has the technical capability to independently develop these products
① The Company has developed its own chemical vapor deposition (CVD) technology and related equipment and processes, and has technical reserves for the development of related application products
In terms of technology, according to the description of the Company, the Company’s core technology in the CVD field is mainly reflected in the development of equipment and processes. The chemical vapor deposition reactor designed and manufactured by the Company has a unique structure. Not only one furnace can hold multiple samples, but also each mold substrate in the same furnace can both revolve and rotate at a high temperature of nearly 2,000 degrees,
3-3-1-204
and the speed can be adjusted freely as needed, to ensure the thickness uniformity, component consistency and interlayer adhesion of each product. The Company has applied for a number of patent protections for technologies in the CVD field, and has designed and developed unique production processes and process parameters.
In terms of talents, the Company’s key research and development team in the CVD field is composed of a number of senior personnel with many years of research and development in the industry, which guarantees the necessary human resources for the Company to maintain constant technological innovation and continuous expansion. Mr. HE Junfang, one of the founders of Beijing Boyu, a controlled subsidiary of the Company, was graduated from School of Materials Science and Engineering of Harbin Institute of Technology and engaged in research efforts at Shenyang Institute of Metal Research, Chinese Academy of Sciences, studying CVD process and materials as the responsible person of the laboratory. The large-size high-purity PBN crucible and high-density, high-precision, low-loss PBN clamping rod developed by him have successively won the second and third prize of National S&T Progress Award in Shenyang and Liaoning. He also published many academic papers.
② The Company has many years of production experience in PBN materials and related fields, and has a rich product line
The Company’s main products in the PBN field are PBN materials and products, which are prepared using the above CVD technology. The Company is one of the earliest enterprises researching and developing, producing and selling PBN related products on a large scale in China. Since its establishment in 2002, it has been engaged in the research and development, production and sales of PBN related products for more than 20 years. According to the description of the Company, using self-developed chemical vapor deposition equipment, unique process technology and rich semiconductor material experience, and the Company constantly and iteratively optimizes the preparation process to produce PBN crucibles featured by high-purity, high-density, longer service life and high crystal formation rate, which has been highly praised by users at home and abroad. At present, the Company has developed and
3-3-1-205
produced hundreds of PBN products with different varieties and specifications, with a rich range of products.
③ The Company has basic conditions such as off-the-shelf CVD equipment and underlying technology and experienced technical team for development of PG, PBN-PG composite heater and PBN clamping rod
According to the description of the Company, same as other PBN products, PG, PBN-PG composite heater and PBN clamping rod are all prepared using CVD process as the underlying technology, and the products are also prepared using the same CVD furnace as PBN, and the difference is mainly reflected in the different gas raw materials. Unlike the preparation of PBN, PG only needs a single gas to decompose into carbon, and the technical difficulty is relatively low. With years of research and development and product experience and leading advantages in CVD and PBN fields, the Company has created feasibility for the rapid and independent development of products with the same underlying technology such as PG, PBN-PG composite heater and PBN clamping rod. Therefore, after downstream customers issue procurement requirements, the Company has accumulated sufficient technologies, equipment and talents to respond to such requirements and research and develop and prepare the above products in a relatively short period of time.
(2) The technologies corresponding to relevant products of the Company are independently researched and developed by the Company itself, so the source of technologies is clear
① Research and development process of the Company’s PG preparation technology
According to the description of the Company, PG is a subdivision of graphite. Its performance is similar to PBN. It has the advantages of high purity, good compactness, and high temperature resistance; PBN is an insulator while PG is a conductor. Like PBN, PG is also prepared by CVD technology. In the high-temperature CVD furnace cavity, hydrocarbons (such as CH4, C3H6, C3H8) are introduced as reaction gases, decomposed into carbon under the
3-3-1-206
set high temperature and vacuum, and grown on the surface of matrix such as graphite mold. After cooling, PG products of various shapes are formed. PG coatings, PBN-PG composite heaters and other products of different shapes and sizes can be made.
PG materials are mainly used as protective coatings. Mr. HE Junfang, one of the founders of Beijing Boyu, a controlled subsidiary of the Company, proposed in his paper “Application of PBN in the Preparation of Semiconductor Materials”: “PG deposited on a PBN substrate can be processed into a resistance heater. The output power of this heater can exceed 45 W/cm2, and it has excellent resistance to fast and frequent thermal cycles.” PG materials were also explicitly mentioned by the Company in the patent awarded in 2013, i.e. Vapor Deposition Furnace with Multi-Directional Air Inlet for Preparation of Pyrolytic Boron Nitride Products (patent number: CN201220429023.0), which shows that the Company has long known knowledge and research in the field of PG materials.
According to the materials provided by the Company, from the beginning of research in June 2018 to the completion of research and development in March 2019.
② The Company’s research and development process of PBN-PG composite heater
According to the description of the Company, the PBN-PG composite heater uses CVD deposition technology to deposit PBN, PG and PBN materials successively to obtain a three-layer composite structure of PBN/PG/PBN. According to specific requirements, it is processed into different shapes and sizes and used as a heater. The PBN-PG composite heater is organically combined by using the conductivity of PG as a heating wire and the insulation of PBN as a protective layer.
According to the description of the Company, On the basis of public technology, the Company conducts further research on the technical difficulties involved in customized products based on the customized product requirements proposed by customers. The Company used CVD technology in 2012 and also used C3H6and other hydrocarbons as raw materials to develop boron nitride-boron carbide-graphite (PBN-BC-C) composite heaters. In 2014, the
3-3-1-207
Company was awarded the invention patent “A Boron Nitride-Boron Carbide-Graphite Composite Heating Element for High-Temperature Electric Heating” (patent number: ZL201210287536.7). It can be seen that the Company has long had research and layout in the field of PBN-related composite heaters.
According to the materials provided by the Company, from the beginning of research in June 2018 to the completion of research and development in May 2019.
③ Research and development process of the Company’s PBN clamping rod preparation technology
According to the description of the Company, PBN clamping rod is a ceramic rod used to clamp the spiral wire in an electronic tube, which plays a role of fixing, insulation and heat dissipation. The preparation method is as follows: the high-performance PBN plate is prepared by high-temperature CVD technology, and then cut and finely processed into a high-precision PBN rod with certain length, width and thickness.
HE Junfang, one of the founders of Beijing Boyu, successfully developed the PBN clamping rod in 1998, and applied for the invention patent titled “A Clamping Rod for Electronic Tubes” (CN1093685C) as the first inventor and was authorized.
According to the description of the Company, PBN has the characteristics of high precision, high thermal conductivity, low dielectric loss and easy processing. It is studied and applied as a new type of clamping material. Though the Company has mastered the PBN clamping rod preparation technology, it has not carried out sales of PBN clamping rods due to the low demand in the downstream market.
(3) The Company has been engaged in research and development of CVD technology and PBN materials for more than 20 years
Beijing Boyu was founded in 2002 while the reporting party was founded in 2011. Comparatively speaking, Beijing Boyu is one of the earliest enterprises in China to carry out
3-3-1-208
PBN material industrialization and use CVD technology, and has a complete independent intellectual property system related to production and operation.
Beijing Boyu has been engaged in research and development of PBN materials according to CVD technology for more than 20 years. Its products are sold well in Europe, the United States, Japan, South Korea, Singapore, Taiwan and other countries and regions. It has successfully become a qualified supplier of many globally well-known enterprises. It further enriches the Company’s product line and expands the market area covered by the products.
(4) The involved employee is not a core technician of the Company, nor is he a core technician in PBN and related fields, and his contribution to the research and development of the Company’s products is limited
The involved employee joined the Company in May 2019, who is not a core technician of the Company, and has not formed any patent in the Company either. According to the Company’s description, and upon confirmation through our interview with relevant principals and employees, he is neither a core technician of the Company nor a core technician of Beijing Boyu, based on the followings:
① The fields in which the involved employee is engaged are of low relevance to the semiconductor industry
The Company is a world-famous semiconductor material technology enterprise, primarily engaged in the R&D, production and sales of indium phosphide substrates, gallium arsenide substrates, germanium substrates, PBN materials and other high-purity materials. The Company’s R&D, production and sales are carried out around the semiconductor industry. However, since joining the Company, the involved employee has been chiefly responsible for the R&D and production of metal heaters for evaporation (OLED evaporation point source) and the R&D of auxiliary PG and PBN-PG composite heaters, mainly in the fields of OLED and solar heaters with low relevance to the semiconductor industry.
3-3-1-209
② The involved employee has been engaged in the material industry for a short time, having comparatively insufficient knowledge reserve and experience accumulation.
In the field of materials science, engineers need to have rich practical experience in all links of material production, who will only work out the best material preparation scheme through complex theoretical calculation in light of the different working conditions and application scenarios, and on the basis of balancing theoretical and actual conditions relying on the long-term accumulation of production process research, model design experience, and repeated verification and adjustment. The involved employee graduated from the Modern Science and Technology Faculty of Taiyuan University of Technology in 2016, majoring in the mechanical design, manufacturing and automation. He is relatively new to the profession and has a relatively short service term in Beijing Boyu, with competitively insufficient knowledge reserve and experience accumulation.
③ The remuneration of the involved employee has not been significantly improved since he joined the Company, and the Company has not identified him as a core technician
According to the description of the involved employee and the bank statements provided by him, after considering the living cost of his workplace, there has been no significant improvement on his remuneration after he joined the Company compared with that before his joining.
In addition, when the involved employee joined the Company in May 2019, no equity or option incentive terms were promised by the Company, as the Company had no A-share listing plan or equity incentive and employee stock ownership plan at that time. After his joining, the Company granted no AXT shares or options to him either. It can thus be seen that the Company has not regarded him as a core technician in terms of remuneration.
When the involved employee joined the Company, the Company has basically completed the research and development of the PG preparation technology, PBN-PG composite heater preparation technology, and PBN clamping rod preparation technology, with the subsequent
3-3-1-210
work focusing on the change, designing, and continuous optimization of composite heaters with different structures and sizes for customers. Therefore, the Company’s PG preparation technology, PBN-PG composite heater preparation technology, and PBN clamping rod preparation technology are developed independently, for which this employee made limited contribution for the research and development of the Company’s relevant products.
(5) The Company has long had a layout of relevant products and technologies, and has been granted relevant patents before the involved employee’s joining
With years of R&D and product experience and advantages in the CVD and PBN fields, the Company has formed and been granted a number of relevant technical patents, including 2 protective layer-related patents and 2 composite heater-related patents, prior to joining of the involved employee, as detailed below:
| Technical Direction | Patentee | Patent Title | Patent Type | Patent No. | Filing Date | Publication Date | Acquisition Method | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Technologies related to pyrolytic graphite coating | Beijing Boyu | Evaporator crucible with silicon carbide protective layers | Utility model | 2012204290118 | Aug. 27, 2022 | Mar. 13, 2013 | Original acquisition | |
| | Beijing Boyu | Evaporator crucible with pyrolyzed boron nitride protective layers | Utility model | 2012204290122 | Aug. 27, 2022 | Mar. 13, 2013 | Original acquisition | |
| Technologies related to composite heater | Beijing Boyu | Heater with pyrolysis boron nitride protection layer | Utility model | 2012204284780 | Aug. 27, 2022 | Apr. 10, 2013 | Original acquisition |
3-3-1-211
| | Beijing Boyu | Boron nitride-boron carbide-graphite composite heating element used for high temperature electric heating | Invention | 2012102875367 | Aug. 13, 2022 | Jun. 4, 2014 | Original acquisition |
|---|
Note: According to the Company’s description, PG materials in the technologies related to pyrolytic graphite coating are mainly used for protection, so the patents formed by such technologies are mainly related to the protective layer technology, and the materials can be replaced.
(6) There is a significant difference on production between the products involved and the Company’s core products
According to the Company’s description, and upon confirmation through our interview with relevant principals, in term of material preparation method, PG is prepared using a single hydrocarbon (CH4, C3H6 or C3H8, etc.) as the reactant gas, while PBN is prepared using boron halide (BCl3 or BF3) and ammonia (NH3) as the reactant gases at the same time. PBN-PG composite heater is made of PBN material as the main body, coated with PG as heating wire and then with PBN layer. PBN clamping rod is one of PBN materials.
There are many differences in the production process of PBN and PG. The production process of PBN is more complicated and difficult to produce. Therefore, the products and technologies involved in PG this time will not affect the production of PBN materials, the Company’s core product. The grasping of two technologies at the same time by the Company is a requisite for production of PBN-PG composite heate. Therefore, the production technology of PBN-PG composite heater does not affect the production of PBN material, the Company’s core production.
In summary, the Company, the involved employee, and his Attorney believe that the
3-3-1-212
relevant core technologies do not infringe the intellectual property rights such as the trade secrets of the reporting party.

I. Q3 in the Letter of Implementation of Opinions
The Issuer is requested to further explain: (1) the Issuer’s pricing policy on related sales to AXT during the reporting period; (2) comparison between the Issuer’s price for sales to AXT and AXT’s price for sales to end customers, and the rationality of price difference.
The Sponsor , the Issuer’s Attorney and the Reporting Accountant are requested to conduct verifications and issue opinions thereon.
Reply:
(I) The Issuer’s pricing policy on related sales to AXT during the reporting period;
As stated by the Company, as the controlling shareholder of the Issuer, always subject to the uniform arrangement at the group level, AXT was responsible for the sales of semiconductor substrate materials in overseas markets. On the whole, the sales price of compound semiconductor substrates sold by the Company to AXT was determined based on the Issuer’s production cost plus a certain profit margin, and the latter is related to the positions and roles of the Company and AXT in the transaction chain. On the basis of the overall pricing policy, for the pricing policy for different types of substrate materials, the impact of the degree of competition in the market, the status of the Company’s products in the industry and other factors were taken into account.
An overall comparison between the overall sales price of GaAs, InP and germanium substrates sold by the Company to AXT and those of the same products sold by AXT to other parties during the reporting period is as follows:
Unit: RMB yuan/piece
| Item | Aggregation of 2019-2021 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Price of products sold to AXT | Price of products sold by AXT to other parties | Difference | |
| GaAs substrate | 391.18 | 377.11 | 3.73% |
3-3-1-222
| InP substrate | 483.15 | 1,275.32 | -62.12% |
|---|---|---|---|
| Germanium substrate | 428.07 | 430.54 | -0.57% |
GaAs substrate: The difference between the price at which the Issuer sold germanium substrates to AXT and AXT’s price for sales to end customers was small, because: germanium substrates are mainly used for the production of germanium substrates GaAs solar cells, which are widely used in space power supply. In recent years, more manufacturers have joined the industry. In order to cope with increased competition and maintain market share, as long as the Issuer has obtained certain gross profits, the transaction price between the two parties is based on the price offered by AXT to other parties, and the sales price offered by the Company to AXT is reasonable.
InP substrate: The price at which the Company sold InP substrates to AXT is lower than AXT’s price for sales to end customers, mainly because: in the early reporting period, AXT made a great contribution to the market development, customer maintenance and application development of InP substrates, for which it bore high costs and expenses.
With the increase in the demand for InP substrates in the domestic market, the proportion of the sales volume has also increased. As a main sales subject in overseas markets, AXT has played a smaller and smaller role in the overall sales arrangement of InP substrates year by year during the reporting period. Therefore, the difference between the Company's selling price offered to AXT and that offered by AXT to other parties has also declined from -68.85% in 2019 to -59.41% in 2020, and reached -51.81% in 2021.
To sum up, the Company’s pricing on sales of InP substrates to AXT is reasonable.
- Germanium substrate: The difference between the price at which the Issuer sold germanium substrates to AXT and AXT’s price for sales to end customers was small, the reason for which is as follows: germanium substrates are mainly used for the production of germanium substrates GaAs solar cells, which are widely used in space power supply. In recent years, more manufacturers have joined the industry. In order to cope with increased competition and maintain market share, as long as the Issuer has obtained certain gross profits, the transaction
3-3-1-223
price between the two parties is based on the price offered by AXT to other parties. The Company’s pricing on sales to AXT is reasonable.
- Reasons for differences in pricing strategies for different products of the Company
To sum up, the transaction prices of the GaAs substrates and germanium substrates sold by the Company to AXT were based on those of the same products sold by AXT to other parties, with almost no difference, while for InP substrates, there were certain differences. The main reasons are as follows:
(1) The competitive pattern of the products differs significantly, and the bargaining ability is different
Regarding GaAs substrate products, in 2019, the Company’s global market share was 13%, ranking fourth in the world. From the perspective of the overall competition pattern, there were a large number of companies engaged in GaAs substrate business around the world, and there were no significant differences between the Company and its international competitors such as Freiberger Compound Materials GmbH and Sumitomo in the technical level, product quality, application direction and other aspects. Thus, there was a fierce market competition.
Regarding germanium substrate products, currently, there are few application scenarios for germanium substrate products, which are mainly used in space solar cells. In the international market, due to the Company’s complete relocation of its germanium substrate production base to China, the Company’s germanium substrate products have gradually withdrawn from the U.S. aerospace market. At present, the Company’s overseas markets are mainly located in Europe and Asia, and Umicore has a higher market share in germanium substrate business than the Company. In the domestic market, as Yunnan Lincang Xinyuan Germanium Industrial Co., Ltd. has gradually entered into the market, market competition has been intensified to some extent.
As for InP substrate products, in 2020, the Company’s global market share was 36%, ranking second in the world, with a prominent market position and strong bargaining ability. Meanwhile, there are only a small number of companies that can provide InP substrates around the world, and the Company, Sumitomo and JX Nippon Mining & Metals Corporation have
3-3-1-224
occupied 91% of the global InP substrate market share in 2020. Besides, the Company has certain advantages over Japanese manufacturers in terms of the downstream application technology development for InP substrates, holding a stronger position in the market of such products.
To sum up, the global market position and competitive advantages of the Company’s InP substrate products are stronger than those of its GaAs substrates and germanium substrates, and thus have stronger ability to bargain with the customers. From the perspective of transaction pricing with end customers, InP substrates have a higher profit margin in the market. Due to the different profit margins for different products, as long as the Company can obtain certain gross profits, there is a large room for increasing the price of InP substrate products for AXT.
(2) AXT has made great contributions to the market development, customer maintenance and application technology development of InP substrate products
Before 2015, due to the weak foundation of the domestic compound semiconductor sector, almost all the InP substrate products of the Company were sold to overseas markets. During the reporting period, with the fast development of the domestic semiconductor sector, the domestic sales proportion of the Company’s InP substrates continued to increase, while the overseas markets are still the main markets for the Company’s InP substrate products. For a long time, the market development, customer maintenance, client end application R&D and other work for InP substrate products in overseas markets have been carried out mainly by AXT. Thus, AXT has made great contributions to the promotion of InP substrates as well as the expansion thereof to wearable device sensors and other new application fields, and has also made great contributions to the global leading position seized by the Company with its InP substrate products.
During the reporting period, the Issuer’s sales revenues from AXT were RMB 221,449,800, RMB 281,965,100 and RMB 59,797 ,000 respectively, accounting for 47.91%, 48.35% and 6.97% of the revenues respectively. In March 2021, AXT switched its overseas semiconductor substrate material sales business and customers to AXT-Tongmei. In 2021, the
3-3-1-225
Company completed the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei, AXT will no longer conduct sales business after the fulfillment of the existing orders, and since July 2021, the affiliated sales with AXT has been thoroughly terminated.
During the reporting period, the differences between the Company’s sales price to AXT and AXT’s sales price to end customers is reasonable. There was no benefit transfer in the transactions between the Company and AXT, and there was no adjustment to the Issuer’s profits through the above related-party transactions.
1. Overall pricing policy
During the reporting period, the products sold by the Company to AXT were mainly sold to OSRAM Opto Semiconductors GmbH (hereinafter referred to as “Osram”), Landmark Optoelectronics Corp. (hereinafter referred to as “Landmark”), Win Semiconductors Corp. (hereinafter referred to as “Win Semiconductor”) and other overseas customers. According to the statement of the Company and our lawyers’ communication and confirmation with the chairman, general manager and financial principal of the Company, the selling prices at which the Company sold compound semiconductor substrates to AXT were determined according to the production costs of the Issuer with the addition at a certain profit margin. During the reporting period, the transactions between the Company and AXT were priced with reference to the profit margin of the previous mode of processing materials supplied by customers, as well as the positions of both parties in the transaction chain, their functions in realizing the final sales process of the products, and the range of profit margins of comparable companies engaging in similar businesses in the Analysis Report for Transfer Price issued by a transfer price consulting institution.
2. Pricing principle by product
According to the statement of the Company and our lawyers’ communication and confirmation with the chairman, general manager and financial principal of the Company, for different products sold by the Company to AXT, different pricing principles have been
3-3-1-226
determined based on market competition, future development prospect, the Company’s status in the industry and other factors that are different.
For GaAs substrates and germanium substrates, to determine the prices of products sold to AXT, the Company’s production cost, addition range and product parameters, as well as the prices offered by AXT to other parties, should be taken into account. For InP substrates, to determine the prices of products sold to AXT, the Company’s production cost, addition range and product parameters, as well as the contribution to and investment in the market development, customer maintenance and application R&D of InP substrates, should be taken into account. Details are as follows:
(1) The competition in GaAs substrates and germanium substrates in the international market is fierce, with customers that are good at price negotiation. Thus, prices offered by peer companies do not differ a lot, and the gross profit margin in the terminal market is also lower than that of InP substrates. On this basis, the Company needs to ensure its own profit space. Therefore, the prices of GaAs substrates and germanium substrates sold by the Company to AXT and those offered by AXT to other parties do not differ a lot.
Besides, the market size of GaAs substrates is growing fast. According to Yole’s statistics, the shipment volume of GaAs substrates in 2021 is expected to increase by 26.98% compared to that in 2020. With the expansion of the market size and the steady expansion of the Company’s capacity for GaAs substrate production, AXT, as a sales subject in overseas markets, has adopted price concessions, so as to expand its market share in the GaAs substrate market.
(2) For InP substrates, the Company, as the world’s second largest manufacturer in the market share, has a good bargaining ability and room for bargaining, with a relatively high gross profit margin. Besides, based on the role played by AXT in the development of overseas markets and the maintenance of customers and the costs it assumes, the Company has offered it a relatively low sales price.
In recent years, the market demand for InP substrates has expanded fast. During the reporting period, the Company’s sales of InP substrates increased by 61.48%, and its revenues increased by 156.85%. In addition, it became the semiconductor substrate material with the
3-3-1-227
highest revenues in 2021. In the future, with the continuous increase in demands in optical communications, data centers, sensors and other application fields, and the gradual implementation of the domestic policy of “channel computing resources from the east to the west”, InP substrates still maintained a high growth trend. Thus, in terms of the Company’s strategic layout, InP substrates are also a focus of the Company layout both during the reporting period and in the future. Meanwhile, as AXT played the role of selling products in the overseas market from the perspective of the controlling shareholder at the early stage of the reporting period, the Company, in order to maintain its competitiveness in the global market, continued to expand its market share and gave certain concessions.
(3) Other impact factors
For the sales of semiconductor substrate products to AXT, the Company also takes into account factors related to the purchase volume and product parameters, such as the purchase volume and the substrate size, the difference in doping elements, the deviation of the positioning edge of the substrate, the corrosion pit density of the substrate, the thickness and thickness fluctuation value of the of the substrate, and the carrier concentration.
In summary, the price of products sold by the Company to AXT has certain fluctuations.
(II) Comparison between the Issuer’s price for sales to AXT and AXT’s price for sales to end customers, and the rationality of price difference.
According to the sales contracts, ledgers and other documents provided by the Company and the statements of the Company, and after our lawyers’ communication and confirmation with the chairman, general manager and financial principal of the Company, during the reporting period, the comparison between the price at which the Company sold products to AXT and AXT’s price for external sales is as follows:
In RMB/piece
| Item | 2021 | 2020 | 2019 | |||||||
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price for sales to AXT | AXT’s price for sales to | Variation | Price for sales to AXT | AXT’s price for sales | Variation | Price for sales to AXT | AXT’s price for sales | Variation |
3-3-1-228
| | | other parties | | | to other parties | | | to other parties | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| GaAs substrates | 347.36 | 342.11 | 1.53% | 439.92 | 381.62 | 15.28% | 352.88 | 395.01 | -10.67% |
| InP substrates | 662.39 | 1,375.43 | -51.84% | 500.58 | 1,233.37 | -59.41% | 415.80 | 1,334.73 | -68.85% |
| Germanium substrates | 389.15 | 435.92 | -10.73% | 438.06 | 438.14 | -0.02% | 427.30 | 431.77 | -1.04% |
The difference between the price at which the Company sold products to AXT and AXT’s price for external sales is mainly reflected in AXT’s services, customs duty, consignment sales, and difference in product specification and exchange rate caused by time difference, etc. The details are as follows:
The difference between the Company’s sales price to AXT and AXT’s sales price to end customers is reasonable. There was no benefit transfer in the transactions between the Company and AXT, and there was no adjustment to the Issuer’s profits through the above related-party transactions.
1.GaAs substrates
During the reporting period, the variation between the Company’s price for sales of GaAs substrates to AXT and the price it offers to other parties was small on the whole. The difference in 2019 and 2020 was relatively significant, mainly due to product specification and exchange rate differences caused by sales time difference. If the sales amount and quantity of GaAs substrates during the reporting period are combined, the price comparison will be as follows:
In RMB/piece
| Item | Aggregation of 2019-2021 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Price for sales to AXT | AXT’s price for sales to other parties | Variation | |
| GaAs substrates | 391.18 | 377.11 | 3.73% |
The difference between the price at which the Issuer sold GaAs substrates to AXT and AXT’s price for sales to end customers was small, because: GaAs substrates were highly competitive in the international market and its customers had strong bargaining power; in order
3-3-1-229
to continue to expand GaAs substrates’ international market share, as long as the Issuer has obtained certain gross profits, the transaction price between the two parties is based on the price offered by AXT to other parties.
(1) Exchange rate fluctuation
As stated by the Company, the Issuer calculated the revenue from AXT based on the current weighted average exchange rate during which the transaction occurs, while AXT settled in JPY, USD, EUR, etc. on the one hand, and calculated the average price of its sales to other parties upon conversion at the ending exchange rate during the reporting period on the other hand. Thus, the comparison of the above prices was based on the trend of exchange rate fluctuations in each year. In 2019, the exchange rate of AXT was higher than that of the Company, so that the price of the products sold by the Company to AXT was lower than that of the same products sold by it to other parties; in 2020 and 2021, the exchange rate of AXT was lower than that of the Company, so that the price of the products sold by the Company to AXT was higher than that of the same products sold by it to other parties.
(2) Different sales time
As stated by the Company, as the time when the Company sold products to AXT was different from that when it sold products to other parties, there were differences in the specifications and unit price of the products sold by both parties at each phase of the reporting period. Meanwhile, during the reporting period, AXT settled payments with Osram and other customers by means by consignment, and adopted zero-inventory management. AXT could recognize the revenue only when the products were manufactured and claimed by it, resulting in the difference in the time of recognizing the revenue from products sold by Beijing Tongmei to AXT and the time of recognizing the revenue from products sold by AXT to Osram.
In summary, the difference between the price at which the Company sold GaAs substrates to AXT and AXT’s price for external sales is small, and the Company’s pricing on sales to AXT is reasonable.
3-3-1-230
2.InP substrates
The price at which the Company sold InP substrates to AXT is lower than AXT’s price for sales to end customers, mainly because: in the early reporting period, AXT made a great contribution to the market development, customer maintenance and application development of InP substrates, and bore high costs and expenses.
Prior to 2015, due to the weak base of the domestic compound semiconductor industry, almost all of the Company’s InP substrates were sold to the overseas market. During the reporting period, with the rapid development of the domestic semiconductor industry, the domestic sales proportion of the Company’s InP substrates kept increasing, but the overseas market is still the Company’s main market of InP substrates at present. During the reporting period, the proportion of export quantity of the Company’s InP substrates was 79.88%, 77.18% and 59.77%, respectively. For a long time, AXT has mainly carried out market development, customer maintenance, application development and other work for the Company’s InP substrates in overseas markets, and has made a great contribution to the business of InP substrates.
The main customers of the Company’s InP substrates in overseas markets include IQE, Inc., Landmark Optoelectronics, Visual Photonics Epitaxy Co., Ltd., Win Semiconductor and other world-leading optical chip, optical module epilayer and device manufacturers. In order to ensure the stability of supply chain and smooth communication of process and R&D, the world’s leading optical chip, optical module epilayer and device companies prefer to purchase from overseas. At the beginning of the reporting period, AXT, as the subject of overseas sales and application development for the Company’s InP substrates, undertook the function of developing overseas customers and providing epitaxial performance matching research. During the reporting period, AXT’s sales and R&D expenditures were USD 4,508,400, USD 4,967,600 and USD 1,215,900, respectively, contributing significantly to overseas sales, customer maintenance and application development for InP substrates.
3-3-1-231
For the above reasons, and based on the fact that the Company maintained a certain markup rate in the price of InP substrates sold to AXT, during the reporting period, the weighted average gross profit rate of InP substrates sold by the Company to AXT was 7.67%. Therefore, the price at which the Company sold InP substrates to AXT is reasonable.
3.Germanium substrates
On the whole, there is little difference between the price at which the Company sold products to AXT and AXT’s price for external sales in 2019 and 2020. The variation in 2021 was -10.73%, mainly due to the difference in product specification and exchange rate caused by sales time difference. AXT sold germanium substrates mainly to Osram, which implemented zero-inventory management mode. AXT could recognize revenue only when the products were used by its production personnel, so there was a difference between the revenue recognition period of germanium substrates sold by Beijing Tongmei to AXT and that of products sold by AXT to Osram. If the sales amount and quantity of germanium substrates during the reporting period are combined, the price comparison will be as follows:
In RMB/piece
| Item | Aggregation of 2019-2021 | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| | Price for sales to AXT | AXT’s price for sales to other parties | Variation | |
| Germanium substrates | 428.07 | 430.54 | -0.57% |
The difference between the price at which the Issuer sold germanium substrates to AXT and AXT’s price for sales to end customers was small, because: germanium substrates are mainly used for the production of germanium substrates GaAs solar cells, which are widely used in space power supply. In recent years, more manufacturers have joined the industry. In order to cope with increased competition and maintain market share, as long as the Issuer has obtained certain gross profits, the transaction price between the two parties is based on the price offered by AXT to other parties.
In summary, the difference between the price at which the Company sold germanium
3-3-1-232
substrates to AXT and AXT’s price for external sales is small, and the Company’s pricing on sales to AXT is reasonable.
4.The Company no longer carries out related transactions with AXT, and there was no benefit transfer involved in the transactions between the Company and AXT during the reporting period, without material adverse impact on the Company
According to the statement of the Company and our lawyers’ communication and confirmation with the chairman, general manager and financial principal of the Issuer, the transaction mode and transaction price between the Company and AXT were determined by AXT’s organizational structure and long-term business development model. AXT, founded in California, the U.S. in December 1986, initially had a complete R&D and production system, and directly performed market exploitation. In 1998, AXT determined to start business in China; later, it gradually transferred its R&D and production system to China, and established Beijing Tongmei. Subsequently, AXT terminated its manufacturing operations in the U.S. and only retained overseas sales, overseas procurement and part of application research and development. The products sold by the Company to AXT were priced by a cost plus manner, which fixed the sales price; while AXT may enjoy certain price differences through selling the products to overseas customers, so as to ensure the normal operation of AXT and support its application development. At present, AXT-Tongmei has completed the business and customer transfer with AXT, and undertaken AXT’s overseas sales, purchase, and application development. AXT ceases to conduct sales business after performing the sales contracts signed prior to March 2021.
The Company held the Seventh Meeting and the Eleventh Meeting of the First Board of Directors for review of related transactions during the reporting period, which were approved by the general meeting of shareholders; the independent directors gave clear opinions on the legality of the review procedures performed for related transactions and the fairness of transaction prices during the reporting period.
3-3-1-233
In addition, local tax authorities of the Company and its domestic subsidiaries have issued the “Compliance Certificate” or “Notification of Tax-related Information Inquiry Results”, which proved that “the Company declared and paid taxes in accordance with the relevant tax laws, regulations and normative documents during the reporting period; and there were no tax arrears or administrative penalties due to tax violations”.
In summary, the difference between the Company’s price for sales to AXT and AXT’s price for sales to end customers is reasonable. There was neither benefit transfer involved in the transactions between the Company and AXT nor adjustment of the Issuer’s profit through such related transactions, without material adverse impact on the Company. Since March 2021, the Company has sold products to overseas customers through AXT-Tongmei. AXT ceases to conduct sales business after performing the sales contracts signed prior to March 2021, and the related sales between the Company and AXT have been completely terminated.
(III) Verification procedures and opinions

3-3-1-238
Issuer’s Principal Business Has Not Changed Significantly in the Last 3 Years - Opinions No.3 on the Application of Securities and Futures Laws (the “Opinions on Application No. 3”), if the Issuer restructures the same, similar or relevant businesses under the same corporate controlling person during the reporting period, and the total assets of the restructured party at the end of the accounting year immediately preceding the restructuring or its operating income or total profits of preceding accounting year are not less than 100% of corresponding item of the Issuer prior to restructuring, the Issuer cannot apply for public offering until it has operated for an accounting year after restructuring so that investors can know the overall operation after restructuring. If there is any related transaction between the restructured party and the Issuer in the accounting year prior to the restructuring, the total assets, operating income or total profits shall be calculated based on the standard after deducting such transaction.
(II) Verification procedures and opinions
Our lawyers performed the following verification procedures to respond to the above matters:
Checked the resolutions of the meeting of the Board of Shareholders, the resolutions of the Board of Directors, the Articles of Association, the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Capital Increase Agreement, the Industrial and Commercial Registration Materials, the New Business License after change and other documents involved in the asset restructuring, checked the relevant provisions of the application guide of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 20 - Business Combinations, and verified the completion time of the asset restructuring;
Checked the financial statements of the Restructuring Party (Tongmei Limited) and the Restructured Party (the Acquired Entity) provided by the Issuer during the Reporting Period, and calculated the proportion of the total assets of the Restructured Party at the end of the previous accounting year or the total operating income or profit of the previous accounting year in the corresponding items of the Issuer before the reorganization, and verified whether it complies with the relevant provisions of relevant laws and regulations, such as the Application Opinion No.3.
Upon verification, we believe that the Company completed the acquisition of five
3-3-1-239
entities, including Beijing Boyu, Baoding Tongmei, Chaoyang Tongmei, Nanjing Jinmei and Chaoyang Jinmei on December 29, 2020, and has operated for more than a complete accounting year till now. The Company completed the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei in 2021, and the indicators of relevant entities in 2020 were lower than those of the corresponding items of the Issuer. The completion time of the asset restructuring and the comparison of relevant financial indicators complied with the relevant provisions of relevant laws and regulations.

“
(III) Recalculation and comparison of indicators such as total assets, operating income and total profit of the parties to the restructuring in 2020 after inclusion of AXT-Tongmei into the scope of restructuring;
- Calculated based on indicators of 2019
…
(2) Relevant indicators comply with relevant provisions of the Opinions No.3 on the Application of Securities and Futures Laws
It can be seen from the above that relevant indicators such as total assets at the end of 2019 and operating income for that year did not exceed 100%; that of total profit exceeded 100% in the calculation because both parties had negative profit, similar situations of which, however, were not included in the scope of indicators calculation. See the following discussion for details.
(3) Relevant cases in the market

...
To sum up, in 2019, both the Issuer and the restructured party (after deducting the related transactions with Tongmei Limited) had a negative total profit, and the restructured party had a greater loss than Tongmei Limited. This restructuring led to no increase in the total profit of Tongmei Limited in 2019, and Tongmei Limited involved no fraudulent profits. Meanwhile, up to now, the Issuer has been operated for a full accounting year since completion of the restructuring.

(V) Verification procedures and opinions
Our lawyers performed the following verification procedures to respond to the above matters:
Checked the resolutions of the meeting of Board of Shareholders, the resolutions of the Board of Directors, the Articles of Association, the Equity Transfer Agreement, the Capital Increase Agreement, the Industrial and Commercial Registration Materials, the New Business License after change and other documents involved in the asset restructuring, the latest Articles of Association of Baoding Tongmei after the asset restructuring, the description and confirmation of the Company, and checked the relevant provisions of the application guide of the Accounting Standards for Business Enterprises No. 20 - Business Combinations, and verified the transaction process of Tongmei Limited acquiring Baoding Tongmei;
We checked the latest business license obtained by Tongmei Limited after the asset restructuring and the Letter of Confirmation on Asset Restructuring issued by the Issuer, Baoding Tongmei and AXT, interviewed the handling personnel of industrial and commercial change registration of Baoding Tongmei and the staff of the competent industrial and commercial department, and interviewed MORRIS SHEN-SHIH YOUNG, Chairman of Baoding Tongmei, and Liu Wensen, General Manager, and verified the basis on which the
3-3-1-241
Company believes that the control right of Baoding Tongmei was realized on December 29, 2020;
- Checked the financial statements of the Restructuring Party (Tongmei Limited) and the Restructured Party (the Acquired Entity) provided by the Issuer during the Reporting Period, and calculated the proportion of the total assets of the Restructured Party at the end of the previous accounting year or the total operating income or profit of the previous accounting year in the corresponding items of the Issuer before the reorganization, and verified whether it complies with the relevant provisions of relevant laws and regulations such as the Application Opinion No.3.
Upon verification, we believe that:
Tongmei Limited has gained control over Baoding Tongmei as of December 29, 2020, and the relevant basis is sufficient;
The asset restructuring in December 2020 and the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei were two restructuring acts implemented by the Company. The relevant indicators of the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei will not affect the indicators with respect to the Restructured Party’s proportion in the Issuer’s total assets, operating income or total profits in the Issuer’s asset restructuring in December 2020, the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei is not included in the scope of reorganization, and there is no situation to circumvent the Opinions on the Application of Securities and Futures Laws No.3;
3. In December 2020, the Issuer completed the acquisition of Beijing Boyu, Baoding Tongmei, Chaoyang Tongmei, Nanjing Jinmei and Chaoyang Jinmei, and has operated for more than a complete accounting year after the completion of the reorganization;
4. The Issuer completed the acquisition of AXT-Tongmei in 2021, and the total assets of the Restructured Party at the end of 2019 and 2020, as well as the total operating income and profits of 2019 and 2020 were lower than those of the corresponding items of the Issuer,
3-3-1-242
which does not fall into the circumstance under which no application for issuance may be made until a complete accounting year has elapsed as stipulated in the Opinions on the Application of Securities and Futures Laws No.3.
