(i) The competition risk caused by the relatively limited market scale, the current situation of the market pattern, the low richness of the company’s product types and the small business scale
According to semi and WSTS statistics, in 2020, the global EDA market 1 scale was about 11.5 billion US dollars, with a year-on-year increase of about 12%. Compared with the global integrated circuit market of more than 360 billion US dollars, the EDA market scale accounted for a relatively small proportion. According to GIA’s forecast data, the compound growth rate of global EDA market from 2020 to 2027 is about 8.7%, and that of China’s EDA market in the same period is about 11.7%. EDA tools have obvious scale effect. At present, the global EDA market is basically in the pattern of oligopoly, dominated by Xinsi technology, kengton electronics and Siemens EDA, with high industry concentration. Under the current market competition pattern of oligopoly, the company has a gap in comprehensive competitiveness compared with international EDA giants. At the technical level 1, including the semiconductor IP market, the semiconductor IP market will be about US $4.038 billion in 2020.
And brand awareness, the company’s individual tools can reach the technical level similar to that of international EDA giants, but there is a large gap in the company’s comprehensive technical strength and brand awareness compared with its decades of technology R & D and market position accumulation; In terms of market share and coverage of EDA tools, compared with billions of dollars of annual revenue of international EDA giants and covering the whole process of integrated circuit design and manufacturing or most process links, the company’s operating revenue in the last year was 137 million yuan. At present, the main EDA products are only modeling tools for manufacturing and simulation tools for design. The company’s overall market share Product variety richness, coverage links and product sales synergy are at a significant disadvantage. In the case of large gap between the above aspects and the international EDA giants and relatively small industry scale, it is uncertain whether the company can continue to expand the market and improve the recognition of high-quality customers around the world based on the technology and channel foundation of existing products, so as to achieve sustained and benign business growth.
During the reporting period (for the period from January 1, 2018 to June 30, 2021, the same below), the company’s operating income is 51.9486 million yuan, 65.4866 million yuan, 137.4832 million yuan and 81.9073 million yuan respectively. The small scale of operation limits the total investment in R & D, sales, acquisition and merger and other activities that the company can support to a certain extent, and the company’s financial data is easy to change with the external economy The environment or its own business activities fluctuate greatly.
（2） Risks related to technology upgrading iteration and R & D investment
Most of the company’s downstream customers are global well-known enterprises in the integrated circuit industry, which have high requirements for the technical leadership of EDA tools. The company needs to continuously meet the needs of the dynamic development of the industry, and always face the technical competition of rapid upgrading and iteration of international competitors’ products. Under the competitive pressure of the international EDA giants’ annual R & D investment of about US $1 billion and the R & D team of thousands of people, the company must continue to maintain high-intensity R & D investment and continuously carry out product upgrading iterations to maintain and even expand the market. In the future, if the company’s technology upgrading iteration progress and results fail to meet expectations, resulting in the technical level falling behind the industry upgrading iteration level, the company’s product competitiveness will be affected, market development opportunities will be missed, and the company’s future business development will be adversely affected. At the same time, in the face of the rapid development of the integrated circuit industry and the increasing technical level of international EDA giants, the company’s R & D investment in the development of new products or the upgrading of existing products may exceed the expected R & D investment, which may lead to the imbalance between the R & D investment and the generated income in the short term, which may have an adverse impact on the company’s short-term operating performance.
The company has continuously increased R & D investment in recent years and is expected to continue to maintain a high proportion of R & D investment in the future. During the reporting period, Proportion of R & D expenses in operating revenue (after deducting the impact of share based payment) are 36.83%, 54.55%, 36.10% and 37.74% respectively. When the R & D investment accounts for a relatively high proportion, if the R & D investment or the upgrading effect of existing products is less than expected, the company will face the risk that the R & D investment will be difficult to recover, which will affect the subsequent R & D investment and adversely affect the company’s performance and competitiveness. At the same time, in the EDA industry The competition for talents is very fierce. If the company cannot maintain the stability of the R & D team and continuously attract excellent technicians to join, it may not be able to maintain the competitive advantage of the existing technology or continuously develop new technologies and products. With the rapid improvement of relevant policies and industry environment in recent years, it may increase the salary of relevant technical talents, especially high-end talents, increase the cost of attracting or retaining relevant talents, and then adversely affect the company’s operating performance.
（3） Risk of intellectual property infringement
The company’s business income mainly comes from EDA tool authorization. The intellectual property rights with core technologies are the key for the company to maintain its competitiveness. At present, the company has formed a professional core technology and related technology reserve with independent intellectual property rights. There are many cases of intellectual property theft or improper use in EDA industry all over the world. The company has protected its independent intellectual property by applying for patents and software copyrights, but the risk of theft or improper use of the above intellectual property cannot be ruled out. If intellectual property rights are infringed by others, it will be detrimental to the normal business operation of the company. At the same time, the company has always attached importance to the research and development of independent intellectual property rights to avoid infringement of third-party intellectual property rights, but it still can not completely eliminate the infringement of third-party intellectual property rights caused by factors such as deviation in the understanding of intellectual property rights by the company’s employees, and the risk that competitors or other stakeholders take improper means such as malicious litigation to hinder the normal development of the company’s business.
（4） Risk that R & D achievements are not recognized by the market, resulting in failure to form large-scale sales
Due to the key role of EDA tools in the integrated circuit industry, EDA industry has the characteristics of difficult product verification and high market threshold. Especially for international well-known customers, it has a high threshold for verification and recognition of new enterprises and new products. Therefore, to transform the research and development achievements of EDA industry into products recognized by the international mainstream market, it not only needs to continue a large amount of research and development investment to form products that reach the advanced level in technology, but also needs to have strong brand influence, channel ability, rapid iteration ability, etc. If the company develops products with advanced technology but fails to pass the verification and recognition of the international mainstream market, the R & D results still cannot form large-scale income, which will also have an adverse impact on the company’s operating performance.
（5） Risk of goodwill impairment
As of June 30, 2021, the goodwill of the company was RMB 59.9969 million due to the acquisition of 80% equity of Boda micro in December 2019, and RMB 36.3631 million due to the acquisition of 100% equity of entasys in June 2021. Boda micro’s main businesses are device modeling, authorization of PDA tools related to PDK, semiconductor engineering services, sales of semiconductor device characteristic test instruments, etc. after the acquisition, the company has integrated its technology R & D and sales channels to give full play to the synergy effect. Boda micro’s operation in 2020 is good, and there is no sign of goodwill impairment. Entasys’s main business is the development of early design planning solutions and the provision of EDA solutions for SoC chip design. At present, entasys is mainly responsible for the product R & D, sales and after-sales support of the issuer in Korea and surrounding areas
