Operator00:00:00day, ladies and gentlemen. Thank you for standing by, and welcome to Inchain's First Quarter 2024 Earnings Conference Call. Today's conference is being recorded. If you have any objections, you may disconnect at this time. Joining us today is Mr. Operator00:00:14Cha Wei Yan, Chief Financial Officer of Inchain.

Before we continue, I would like to remind you that today's discussions will contain forward looking statements. These forward looking statements involve known and unknown risks and uncertainties are based on company's current expectations and projections about future events that the company believes may affect its financial conditions, results of operations, business strategy and financial needs. The company undertakes no obligation to update or revise publicly any forward looking statements to reflect subsequent occurring events or circumstances or changes in its expectations, except as may be required by law. Although the company believes that the expectations expressed in these forward looking statements are reasonable, it cannot assure you that such expectations will turn out to be correct. Operator00:01:29And the company is cautioned investors that actual results may differ materially from the anticipated results and encourages investors to review other factors that may affect its future results in the company's registration statements and other filings with the SEC. With that, I'll now turn the call over to Mr. Xiaowei Yan, the company's CFO. Mr. Yan, please go ahead. Speaker 100:01:56Thank you, operator, and everyone for joining Inca Chen's earnings conference call for the Q1 of fiscal year 2024. On today's call, we will provide an overview on our operational and financial performance for the Q1. After that, we will conduct a Q and A session to take your questions. In 2023, we weathered a downturn in the Web3 industry. However, 2024 has ushered a fresh start as the industry's anticipated upward cycle has arrived. Speaker 100:02:28As a leading strong infrastructure provider, interchange is poised to embrace an unprecedented area of opportunities, leveraging our resources and technological advantages to the fullest. We aim to see opportunity to encounter a lot of the industry and industrial value chain. Our goal is to secure a more prominent position in the Web3 industry and to promote the industry's prosperity as well as our own. The Q1 of 2024 brought several technological success. We integrated our latest 12 nanometer chip technology into Gold Shell branded computing equipment and the commercial trial production of our latest Household Box series products, utilizing K Heavy Hash and Break 3 algorithms for Caspar and RFIM currency, respectively. Speaker 100:03:26We launched the KA box for the sale at the end of March and AR box in April. Both products have received widespread market recognition. As the trial production and the internal debugging of the 12 nanometer chip concluded, our products equipped with 12 nanometer chip, along with various types of computing equipment, will commence full scale production in the Q2. All of these reaffirms our confidence in the prospect of our new products and their potential positive financial contribution in the coming quarters. As we move through 2024, we will continue strengthening our research and development efforts and introducing ASIC chip products suitable for Web3 Industry applications. Speaker 100:04:18Additionally, we are actively advising collaborations with external teams to explore the tremendous potential of blockchain enhanced applications, leveraging state of art encryption technology. Turning now to our financial initiatives. To fully unleash the value of our capital, interchange will expand its investments in cryptocurrencies. Going forward, ETH based cryptocurrency will serve as a crucial long term asset reserve for the group. We are implementing an ETH reserve strategy beyond the funds necessary for daily operations to enhance the company's competitiveness to development of the Web3 industry. Speaker 100:05:07We firmly believe that ETS represents the future of Web3 industrialization. Interchange is anticipating a dynamic year ahead, well filled with possibility and promise. We will continue to increase our investment in ASIC chips and computing equipment, covering products related to ZKP, FHE and AI to meet the growing market demand. At the same time, we will actively explore other areas of Web3 applications, continuously introducing new innovative products to expand our product lineups. We are confident that through these concerted efforts, interchange will enhance its long term value and solidify its competitive position in the market. Speaker 100:06:01Now I will provide a brief financial overview of the Q1 of 2024. Our revenue was RMB24.3 million or US3.4 million dollars for the Q1, representing a decrease of 6.8 percent from RMB26 1,000,000 for the same period of 2023. The decrease in revenue was primarily attributable to a one off sale of intelligent rotor products in the Q1 of 2023, which generated RMB1.2 million in revenue. When excluding this one off sale, revenue from our SFC products remained relatively stable between two periods with no significant fluctuations in either the sales volume or average selling price of the asset sheet products. Cost of revenue was RMB15.3 million or $2,100,000 for the Q1 of 2024, representing an increase of 15.2% from RMB13.2 million for the same period of 2023. Speaker 100:07:14The increase was primarily driven by a RMB4.4 million inventory write down for the certain production in the Q1 of 2024, reflecting our expectation of adverse market conditions facing such products. Total operating expenses were RMB38.1 million or US5.3 million dollars for the Q1 of 2024, representing an increase of 168.3 percent from RMB14.2 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to an increase in research and development expenses, sales and marketing expenses and general and administrative expenses, partially offset by the net gain in fair value in cryptocurrency. Research and development expenses increased by 3 57 percent to RMB36 500,000 or US5.1 million dollars for the Q1 of 2024 from RMB8 1,000,000 for the same period of 2023. The increase was primarily due to the higher expenses related to mask costs for our R and D projects as well as increased personnel related expenses. Speaker 100:08:36Sales and marketing expenses increased by 27.2 percent to RMB1.6 million or $0.2 million for the first quarter of 2024 from RMB1.3 million for the same period of 2023, mainly driven by increased share based incentive expenses. G and A expenses increased by 9.5 percent to RMB5.4 million or $0.7 million for the Q1 of 2024 from RMB4.9 million for the same period of 2023, mainly driven by increased share based incentive expenses. Gaining on fair value of cryptocurrency for the Q1 of 2024 was RMB5.4 million or $0.7 million compared to NIO in same period of 2023. We early adopted the amendment required by the new accounting policy of cryptocurrency using a modified retrospective transition method with a cumulative effect adjustment recorded to the opening balance of return earnings as of January 1, 2024. The accumulative effect adjustment of RMB0.3 million was recorded as an increase of the opening balance of return earnings. Speaker 100:10:05We measure the cryptocurrency at a fair value and included the gain and loss from remeasurement in net income. The gain pertains to the change in cryptocurrency fair value from the adoption date, which was mainly due to the increase of price of the ETH. Interest income increased by 17.2 percent to RMB4.2 million or $0.6 million for the Q1 of 2024 from RMB3.5 million for the same period of 2023, mainly attributable to our effective cash management. Our other income decreased by 96.6 percent to RMB0.1 million or RMB0.1 million for the Q1 of 2024 from RMB4.1 million for the same period of 2023. The decrease was primarily due to the decrease in grants received from the local government, which have no repayment obligations. Speaker 100:11:17As a result of foregoing, we recorded a net loss of RMB14.8 million or $2,100,000 for the Q1 of 2024 compared to the net income of RMB4.7 million for the same period of 2023. Basic and diluted net loss per ordinary share are RMB0.12 or US0.02 dollars for the Q1 of 2024. Compared to basic and diluted net earning per ordinary share of RMB0.04 for the end of 2023. Each ADS represents 2 of our company's Class A ordinary shares. Thank you for your continued support. Speaker 100:12:04We look forward to updating you on our progress in the future. Now I'd like to turn the discussion over to operator for any questions. Operator00:12:14Thank you. We will now begin the question and answer session. And I'm not showing any further questions in the queue. I will just conclude this period and conference for today. Thank you once again for joining Inchain's Q1 of fiscal year 2024 financial results and business update conference call today.
