We package our LED chips into LED components, which we sell to distributors and a customer base that is heavily concentrated in a few select markets, including India, Japan, the United States and the Netherlands. We also sell our “Enhanced Vertical,” or EV, LED product series in blue, white, green and UV in selected markets. We sell our LED chips to packagers or to distributors, who in turn sell to packagers. Our lighting products customers are primarily original design manufacturers, or ODMs, of lighting products and the end‑users of lighting devices. We also contract other manufacturers to produce for our sale certain LED products, and for certain aspects of our product fabrication, assembly and packaging processes, based on our design and technology requirements and under our quality control specifications and final inspection process. In addition, beginning in fiscal year 2025, we have entered into number buy-sell orders for equipment that we purchased and then sold to our customer.

Previous wording
In the first quarter of fiscal 2026, we entered into buy-sell purchase orders pursuant to which we purchased equipment and then resold the goods to our customer. The revenue relating to these purchase orders was $1.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, and the associated cost of revenue was $1.2 million. We did not have any buy-sell purchase orders during the second quarter of fiscal 2026.
Current wording
In the third quarter of fiscal 2026, we received buy-sell purchase orders, pursuant to which we purchased equipment and then resold the goods to our customer. The revenue relating to these purchase orders was $7.4 million in the third quarter of fiscal 2026, and the associated cost of revenue was $5.1 million.
Previous wording
We anticipate buy-sell purchase orders in the third quarter of fiscal 2026. As a result of these purchase orders and associated uncertainty of the business, our revenue, cost of revenues, receivables, inventories and customer deposits over future quarters may vary significantly. In addition, if our shipments are delayed, revenue recognition may be delayed into future quarters. We cannot assure you when, or if, the revenue will be recognized, when payments will be received, or if we will receive further orders in the future.

General economic conditions and geographic concentration. Many countries including the United States and the European Union (the “E.U.”) members have instituted, or have announced plans to institute, government regulations and programs designed to encourage or mandate increased energy efficiency in lighting. These actions include in certain cases banning the sale after specified dates of certain forms of incandescent lighting, which are advancing the adoption of more energy efficient lighting solutions such as LEDs. When the global economy slows or a financial crisis occurs, consumer and government confidence declines, with levels of government grants and subsidies for LED adoption and consumer spending likely to be adversely impacted. Our revenues have been concentrated in a few select markets, including India, Japan, the United States and the Netherlands. Given that we are operating in a rapidly changing industry, our sales in specific markets may fluctuate from quarter to quarter. Therefore, our financial results will be impacted by general economic and political conditions in such markets. For example, the aggressive support by the Chinese government for the LED industry through significant government incentives and subsidies to encourage the use of LED lighting and to establish the LED‑sector companies has resulted in production overcapacity in the market and intense competition. Furthermore, due to Chinese package manufacturers increasing usage of domestic LED chips, prices are increasingly competitive, leading to Chinese manufacturers growing market share in the global LED industry. In addition, we have historically derived a significant portion of our revenues from a limited number of customers. Some of our largest customers and what we produce for them have changed from quarter to quarter primarily as a result of the timing of discrete, large project‑based purchases and broadening customer base, among other things. For the three and six months ended February 28, 2026, sales to our three largest customers, in the aggregate, accounted for 59% of our revenues.

Cash position. Our cash and cash equivalents increased to $4.0 million as of February 28, 2026 from $2.4 million as of February 28, 2025. We have implemented actions to accelerate operating cost reductions and improve operational efficiencies. The plan is further enhanced through the fabless business model in which we implemented certain workforce reductions and are exploring the opportunities to sell certain equipment related to the manufacturing of vertical LED chips, in order to reduce the idle capacity charges and minimize our research and development activities associated with chips manufacturing operation. Based on our current financial projections and assuming our outstanding notes are converted or extended, we believe that we will have sufficient sources of liquidity to fund our operations and capital expenditure plans for the next 12 months.

The Company writes down excess and obsolete inventory to its estimated net realizable value. The net realized value of inventories is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business less the estimated costs of completion and disposal. The estimation of net realized value is based on current market conditions and historical experience with product sales of similar nature. Changes in market conditions may have a material impact on the estimation of the net realizable value. For finished goods and work in process, if the estimated net realizable value for an inventory item, which is the estimated selling price in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predicable costs to completion and disposal, is lower than its cost, the specific inventory item is written down to its estimated net realizable value. Net realizable value for raw materials is based on replacement cost. Provisions for inventory write downs are included in cost of revenues in the consolidated statements of operations. Once written down, inventories are carried at this lower cost basis until sold or scrapped. Inventory write‑downs to estimated net realizable values were $126 thousand and $50 thousand for the three months ended February 28, 2026 and 2025, respectively.
