Summary of Conference Call Notes Industry and Company Overview - The focus is on the application of quartz sand in the PCB (Printed Circuit Board) industry, particularly for major clients such as Huawei, ZTE, and Samsung [1][2] - The company provides two types of modules: custom-made modules as per client requirements and modules suggested by the company using quartz sand material [1] Key Points and Arguments 1. Current Application of Quartz Sand - Quartz sand is primarily used in PCB products for Huawei, ZTE, and Samsung [2] - Nvidia began testing quartz sand last year but faced initial failures; however, they are expected to continue trials due to potential high demand [1][3] 2. Market Prospects for Quartz Sand - Huawei's certification is expected to be completed within six months, which will allow for large-scale use of quartz sand and significantly increase shipment volumes [1] - The current application is limited to base stations and servers, with no plans for consumer-grade products due to high costs [1][2] 3. Production and Expansion Plans - Existing production equipment can be adjusted to accommodate quartz sand production, indicating low conversion costs and high efficiency [1] - The company plans to expand production in Nantong and build new facilities in Thailand, with completion expected by the end of the year [1][2] 4. Economic Benefits and Cost Analysis - The yield rate for products using quartz sand is between 96% and 98%, with a processing rate of 99%, indicating high stability and reliability [1][2] - The cost of quartz sand materials accounts for 63% of the final product, which is lower than the 80% cost associated with Rogers materials, thus reducing production costs and enhancing market competitiveness [1][4] 5. Supply Chain and Certification - Currently, Feili Hua is the only supplier capable of providing certified quartz sand materials [1] - The company does not have alternative suppliers due to strict market recognition requirements, and new suppliers must undergo rigorous certification processes [1][4] Additional Important Insights - The initial failure of Nvidia's tests with quartz sand is considered normal, as first batches often encounter issues [3] - Domestic clients are concerned about the risk of supply disruptions from traditional suppliers like Rogers, while overseas clients focus on the performance advantages of quartz sand over traditional materials [2][3] - The price of CCL (Copper Clad Laminate) has increased by approximately 18% [4] - The monthly shipment volume of quartz cloth varies between 80,000 to 180,000 sheets due to differences in production capacity for low-end and high-end materials [5] - The price range for quartz cloth sold to clients is between 1,200 to 6,800 RMB per square meter [5]
