Current report
Our recent sale of equity interest in the JV Company is subject to certain closing conditions, and if the conditions are not met, we may not receive a portion or any of the cash proceeds under the equity transfer agreement and we may be required to unwind the transaction, which will adversely affect our financial results and reputation.
Current report
On July 14, 2025, we entered into an equity transfer agreement with a third-party strategic investor to sell approximately 20.3% of outstanding equity interest in the JV Company for an aggregate cash consideration of $150 million to be paid in four installments, subject to satisfaction of certain conditions. Such conditions include, among other things, shareholder approval by the JV Company and certain registrations, approvals by government authorities and closing of additional investment by the strategic investor in the JV Company’s equity, which are outside of our control. For a more detailed description of the installment payments and related conditions, please see Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Overview. We cannot be certain that these conditions will be satisfied on a timely basis, including those conditions that are outside of our control. If these conditions are not met by the deadlines as set forth in the equity transfer agreement, we may be exposed to significant risks, including failure to receive a portion or any of the cash proceeds from the sale, which may adversely affect our ability to continue investment in technology, R&D projects and acquisition of assets complimentary to our business operations. Furthermore, failure to meet these conditions may require the parties to terminate and unwind the transaction, which will adversely affect our reputation, business operations and stock price.

Current report
Changes in tariffs and international trade policies affecting imports and exports may have a material adverse effect on our business operations and financial performance.
Current report
The U.S. recently proposed the implementation of a range of new tariffs and significant increases to existing tariffs. In response to such tariffs announced by the U.S., a number of other countries, including Japan and Korea, entered into new trade deals with the United States, which set certain reduced tariff rates. The specific terms of these deals still need to be further defined and implemented. Other countries, like China, are still in ongoing negotiations with the U.S. regarding tariffs, and it is unclear what the final tariff rate may be. Additionally, there is a pending investigation in the United States into the national security impact of imports of semiconductors and semiconductor manufacturing equipment, which may result in tariffs on such imports from all countries. There is thus still significant uncertainty about future U.S. tariff rates, and we cannot predict whether, and to what extent, current tariffs will continue or U.S. trade policies will change in the future. Such uncertainties and risks may negatively affect our ability to enter into new business transactions with partners, vendors and customers because of the lack of clarity on the economic benefits of such transactions. Significant increase in U.S. tariffs may increase the costs of materials, goods and components that we purchase from suppliers from other countries for the manufacturing and distribution of our products, which may adversely affect our financial performance. Also, we may not be able to mitigate the impact of tariffs by identifying and securing alternative sources in the U.S. for similar materials, goods and components at comparable qualities or more favorable prices. Furthermore, tariffs, or the threat of tariffs or increased tariffs, could have a significant negative impact on our business relationships with customers, suppliers and partners in Asia, including China, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Korea and Japan. Any significant changes in trade policies and tariffs may also affect the business operations of our customers, suppliers and partners, which may cause them to take actions or make decisions that adversely affect our business operations and results of operations.
Current report
Since February 2025, the current U.S. administration has proposed to increase the total tariff level for imported Chinese goods significantly, and additional tariff increases could be imposed as the trade tensions between the two countries continue to heighten. On February 1, 2025, the United States imposed additional tariffs of 10% on all Chinese-origin goods, which was increased to 20% on March 4, 2025. On April 2, 2025, the U.S. announced that it was imposing a 34% “reciprocal tariff” on top of the existing 20%, raising the tariff on Chinese goods to 54% (which stacks on top of preexisting tariffs of 7.5%-100% on most Chinese-origin goods imposed under previous U.S. administrations). On April 9, 2025, China responded to U.S. tariff threats by hiking its levies on U.S. imports from 34% to 84%, and the U.S. then increased new tariffs on Chinese goods to 125%. On April 11, 2025, the U.S. announced that semiconductors would be exempt from the reciprocal tariffs, but this exemption does not impact the 20% tariff imposed in March. Later that same day, in a further retaliatory move, China increased tariffs on U.S. imports to 125%.
Current report
On May 12, 2025, the U.S. and China agreed to temporarily suspend most tariffs on each other’s goods for a 90-day period (“the 90-day truce”) in trade talks in Geneva. After the Geneva meetings, the new US tariffs on Chinese goods were reduced from 145% to 30%, while China’s retaliatory tariffs dropped from 125% to 10%. On August 11, 2025, the 90-day truce was extended until November 10, 2025 while the countries continue to engage in negotiations.
Current report
Further, we cannot predict what additional actions, if any, may be taken with respect to tariffs or trade relations between the United States and China, or what actions may be taken by the China in retaliation. The adoption and expansion of trade restrictions, the occurrence of a trade war, or other governmental action related to tariffs, trade agreements or related policies have the potential to adversely impact our supply chain, access to equipment, our costs and our product margins.
Current report
Our China subsidiaries’ current corporate structure and business operations may be affected by the Foreign Investment Law of the PRC.
Current report
If future laws, administrative regulations or provisions mandate further actions to be taken by companies with respect to our business operation, we may face substantial uncertainties as to whether we can complete such actions in a timely manner, or at all. Failure to take timely and appropriate measures to cope with any of these or similar regulatory compliance challenges could materially and adversely affect our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations.

Previous report
As previously disclosed, the Company has continued to respond to inquiries and requests for documents and information from Department of Commerce (“DOC”) in connection with an investigation into the Company’s export control practices and DOC is currently reviewing this matter. DOC has not informed the Company of any specific timeline or schedule under which DOC will complete its review.
Previous report
The ongoing government investigations into our export control compliance also subject us to a number of financial and business risks. We expect to incur significant costs and expenses, including legal fees, in connection with our effort to respond to the government investigation. Furthermore, the management has diverted its resources and time in response to the investigation, and might not be able to fully engage with the core operation and objectives of our business activities. Finally, while we are fully cooperating with the government in the investigation, we are not able to predict its timing and outcome. In the event that the government decides to bring enforcement action or impose fines against us, it will result in a material adverse effect on our business operations, our financial conditions and our reputation.
Previous report
Further, the U.S. Congress, the EU, the OECD, and other government agencies in jurisdictions where we and our affiliates do business have had an extended focus on issues related to the taxation of multinational corporations. One example is the OECD’s initiative in the area of “base erosion and profit shifting,” or “BEPS”. Many countries have implemented or begun to implement legislation and other guidance to align their international tax rules with the OECD’s BEPS recommendations. In addition, the OECD has been working on an extension of the BEPS project, being referred to as “BEPS 2.0”, which focuses on two “pillars” of reform. Pillar 1 is focused on global profit allocation and changing where large multinational corporations pay taxes, and pillar 2 includes a global minimum tax rate. The OECD published detailed blueprints of its proposals for pillar 1 and pillar 2 on October 14, 2020. In 2021, the OECD announced that more than 140 member jurisdictions (including the United States and Bermuda) have politically committed to potential changes to the international corporate tax system, including enacting a minimum tax rate of at least 15% as part of the OECD's "Pillar Two" initiative. During December 2022, the European Union reached agreement on the introduction of a minimum tax directive requiring member states to enact local legislation. We will continue to monitor countries' laws with respect to the OECD model rules and the Pillar Two global minimum tax. We do not believe Pillar Two has any material effect on us at this time, and the effects of any future legislation in this area are not yet reasonably estimable, but if such legislation is enacted in the future, it could have a material effect on our provision for income taxes, our financial results, and our earnings and cash flows. As a result of the focus on the taxation of multinational corporations, the tax laws in the countries in which we and our affiliates do business could change on a prospective or retroactive basis, and any such changes could adversely affect us.
Previous report
Uncertainties exist with respect to the interpretation and implementation of PRC Foreign Investment Law and how it may impact the viability of our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations.
Previous report
Since the Foreign Investment Law was newly enacted, uncertainties still exist in relation to its interpretation and implementation. For example, the Foreign Investment Law provides that foreign invested enterprises established according to the existing laws regulating foreign investment may maintain their structure and corporate governance within a five-year transition period, which means that we may be required to adjust the structure and corporate governance of certain of our China subsidiaries in such transition period. Failure to take timely and appropriate measures to cope with any of these or similar regulatory compliance challenges could materially and adversely affect our current corporate structure, corporate governance and business operations.

Previous wording
The semiconductor industry periodically experiences significant economic downturns characterized by diminished product and end-market demand, production overcapacity, excess inventory, which can result in rapid significant decline in shipment and sales, which may harm our operating results and financial condition. The semiconductor market is also highly cyclical and is characterized by constant and rapid technological change such as product obsolescence and price erosion, evolving standards, uncertain product life cycles and wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. Since mid-2022, we have experienced an industry-wide decline of customer demand for semiconductor products due primarily to the build-up of excess inventory prior to the cessation of the COVID-19 pandemic. This decline has negatively affected our recent financial performance in 2023. While we expect some recovery of the macroeconomic trend by the end of 2023 and early 2024, there is no guarantee that it will occur and a prolonged and extended downturn in the semiconductor industry will have a substantial impact on our operating results and financial conditions.

The semiconductor market is also highly cyclical and is characterized by constant and rapid technological change such as product obsolescence and price erosion, evolving standards, uncertain product life cycles and wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. More recently, we have observed the impact of certain government regulations, such as tariffs or other related trade regulation, that can negatively affect the global semiconductor markets and cause a decline for the demand of our products. In addition, the broader semiconductor industry experienced a decline in calendar year 2023 with some recovery in 2024, but there is no guarantee that further recovery will occur and a prolonged and extended downturn in the semiconductor industry will have a substantial impact on our operating results and financial conditions.
Previous wording
A significant amount of our revenue is derived from sales of products in the PC markets such as notebooks, motherboards and notebook battery packs. Our revenue from the PC markets accounted for approximately 43.0%, 35.2% and 44.5% of our total revenue for the years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. The increasing popularity of smaller, mobile computing devices such as tablets and smart phones with touch interfaces is rapidly changing the PC markets both in the United States and abroad. In the past we experienced a significant reduction in the demand for our products due to the declining PC markets, which negatively impacted our revenue, profitability and gross margin. While we experienced a surge of demand in the PC market as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and related events, such demand has returned to normal level and declined due to an industry-wide inventory correction and the ensuing downturn in the semiconductor industry from late 2022 to the end of 2023 and early 2024. While we believe the negative impact of inventory correction has gradually subsided in mid-2024, we cannot predict how and when the market will be fully recovered. We have implemented measures and strategies to mitigate the effect of such a downturn. These measures and strategies may not be sufficient or successful, in which case our operating results may be adversely affected.

Previous wording
Geopolitical conflicts and tensions between the United States and China have threatened and destabilized trading relationships and economic activities between the two countries. Because we have significant operations in both countries, such conflicts and tensions may negatively impact our business. At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had disagreements over political and economic issues, including but not limited to, the recent imposition of tariffs by the U.S. on goods imported from China and to the U.S. government's efforts to restrict transfer and sharing of technologies, including semiconductor technologies, between the two countries. In addition, the U.S. government may enact new and more restrictive export control regulations that may reduce our ability to ship and sell products to certain customers in China and Asia and increase our cost to implement additional measures to comply with such new regulations. In addition, disagreements between the United States and China with respect to their political, military or economic policies toward Taiwan may contribute to further controversies. These controversies and trade frictions could have a material adverse effect on our business by, among other things, making it more difficult for us to coordinate our operations between the United States and China causing a reduction in the demand for our products by customers in the United States or China and reducing our profitability due to increasing cost of compliance.

In addition, because our power semiconductors are used in consumer electronics products, our revenue is subject to seasonality. Our sales seasonality is affected by a number of factors, including global and regional economic conditions as well as the PC market conditions, revenue generated from new products, changes in distributor ordering patterns in response to channel inventory adjustments and end customer demand for our products and fluctuations in consumer purchase patterns prior to major holiday seasons. In recent year, broad fluctuations in the semiconductor markets and the global economic conditions, in particular the decline of the PC market conditions, as well as the COVID-19 pandemic, have had a more significant impact on our results of operations, than seasonality, and have made it difficult to assess the impact of seasonal factors on our business.

Our success depends upon our ability to develop and introduce new and enhanced products that meet or are compatible with our customer’s specifications, performance standards and other product requirements in a timely manner. The development of new and enhanced products involves highly complex processes, and at times we have experienced delays in the introduction of new products. Successful product development and introduction of new products depends on a number of factors, including the accurate product specification; timely completion of design; achievement of manufacturing yields; timely response to changes in customer’s product requirements; quality and cost-effective production; and effective marketing. Since many of our products are designed for specific applications, we must frequently develop new and enhanced products jointly with our customers. In the past, we have encountered product compatibility issues with a major OEM that has negatively impacted our financial results, and although we have resolved fully such issues with the OEM, there is no guarantee that the same compatibility issues will not occur in the future with other OEMs. If we are unable to develop or acquire new products that meet or are compatible with our customer’s specification and other product requirements in a timely manner, we may lose revenue or market share with our customers, which could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial position and operating results.

Because we no longer have a controlling interest in the JV Company, the JV Company is operating and will continue to operate more independently, and our influence on all aspects of the JV Company’s business operations will be diminished. Accordingly, we might not be able to prevent the JV Company from taking actions adverse to our interests. For example, while we remain a major customer of the JV Company, the JV Company may decide to enter into business relationships with other customers and allocate foundry capacities to such customers, which may prevent us from securing a desirable or sufficient level of manufacturing capacity for our products. Although the JV Company has previously agreed to provide us with a guaranteed capacity on a monthly basis, such guarantee has expired and we are in the process of negotiating a new arrangement with the JV Company to provide us with capacity. There is no guarantee that we will be successful in renewing the capacity agreement, and even if we do, there is no guarantee that we will obtain favorable pricing or service terms, or that such capacity will be sufficient, which may adversely affect our results of operations.

We sell a substantial portion of our products to distributors, who in turn sell to our end customers. Our distributors typically offer power semiconductor products from several different companies, including our direct competitors. The distributors assume collection risk and provide logistical services to end customers, including stocking our products. Two distributors, WPG and Promate, collectively accounted for 71.0%, 57.2% and 64.3% of our revenue for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2024, 2023 and 2022, respectively. We currently have effective agreements with Promate and WPG to serve as our distributors, and such agreement is renewed automatically for one-year period continuously unless terminated earlier pursuant to the terms of such agreements.

In order to position ourselves to take advantage of growth opportunities, we have made, and may continue to make, strategic acquisitions, mergers, partnership, joint ventures and alliances that involve significant risks and uncertainties. Successful acquisitions and alliances in the semiconductor industry are difficult to accomplish because they require, among other factors, efficient integration and aligning of product offerings and manufacturing operations and coordination of sales and marketing and research and development efforts. We may also seek to establish partnerships, joint ventures and acquisition of assets in various foreign jurisdictions where we may not have significant operating experience. In addition, we may encounter unanticipated challenges and difficulties, including regulatory and compliance issues, lack of local support and geopolitical tensions. The difficulties of integration and alignment may be increased by the necessity of coordinating geographically separated organizations, the complexity of the technologies being integrated and aligned and the necessity of integrating personnel with dissimilar business backgrounds. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that we will be able to identify viable targets for strategic acquisition. Also we may incur significant costs in efforts that may not result in a successful acquisitions.

Furthermore, there is no guarantee that we will be able to identify viable targets for strategic acquisition. Also we may incur significant costs in efforts that may not result in a successful acquisitions.

We sell a majority of our products to distributors under arrangements allowing price adjustments and returns under stock rotation programs, subject to certain limitations. As a result, we are required to estimate allowances for price adjustments and stock rotation for our products as inventory at distributors at each reporting period end. Our ability to reliably estimate these allowances enables us to recognize revenue upon delivery of goods to distributors instead of upon resale of goods by distributors to end customers.

Previous wording
We have two wholly-owned packaging and testing facilities located in Shanghai, China that handle most of our packaging and testing requirements. The operation of high-volume packaging and testing facilities and implementation of our advanced packaging technology are complex and demand a high degree of precision and may require modification to improve yields and product performance. We have committed substantial resources to ensure that our packaging and testing facilities operate efficiently and successfully, including the acquisition of equipment and raw materials, and training and management of a large number of technical personnel and employees. Due to the fixed costs associated with operating our own packaging and testing facilities, if we are unable to utilize our in-house facilities at a desirable level of production, our gross margin and results of operations may be adversely affected. For example, a significant decline in our market share or sales orders may negatively impact our factory utilization and reduce our ability to achieve profitability.

The Chinese economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although in recent years the China government has implemented measures emphasizing the utilization of market forces for economic reform, the reduction of state ownership of productive assets and the establishment of corporate governance in business enterprises, the China government continues to retain significant control over the business and productive assets in China. Any changes in China's government policy or China's political, economic and social conditions, or in relevant laws and regulations, may adversely affect our current or future business, results of operations or financial condition. These changes in government policy may be implemented through various means, including changes in laws and regulations, implementation of anti-inflationary measures, change of basic interest rate, changes in the tax rate or taxation system and the imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and imports. Furthermore, given China's largely export-driven economy, any changes in the economies of China's principal trading partners and other export-oriented nations may adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our ability to successfully expand our business operations in China depends on a number of factors, including macroeconomic and other market conditions, and credit availability from lending institutions. In response to the recent global and Chinese economic recession, the China government has promulgated several measures aimed at expanding credit and stimulating economic growth. We cannot assure you that the various macroeconomic measures, monetary policies and economic stimulus package adopted by the China government to guide economic growth will be effective in maintaining or sustaining the growth rate of the Chinese economy. If measures adopted by the China government fail to achieve further growth in the Chinese economy, it may adversely affect our growth, business strategies and operating results. In addition, changes in political and social conditions of China may adversely affect our ability to conduct our business in the region. For example, geopolitical disputes and increased tensions between China and its neighboring countries in which we conduct business could make it more difficult for us to coordinate and manage our international operations in such countries.

In addition, the Chinese legal system is based in part on government policies and internal rules, some of which are not published on a timely basis or at all, that may have a retroactive effect. As a result, we may not be aware of our violation of these policies and rules until sometime after the violation. If any of our past operations are deemed to be non-compliant with Chinese law, we may be subject to penalties and our business and operations may be adversely affected. For instance, under Special Administrative Measures (Negative List) for Foreign Investment Access, some industries are categorized as sectors which are restricted or prohibited for foreign investment. As the Negative List is updated every year, there can be no assurance that the China government will not change its policies in a manner that would render part or all of our business to fall within the restricted or prohibited categories. If we cannot obtain approval from relevant authorities to engage in businesses which become prohibited or restricted for foreign investors, we may be forced to sell or restructure a business which has become restricted or prohibited for foreign investment. Furthermore, the China government has broad discretion in dealing with violations of laws and regulations, including levying fines, revoking business and other licenses and requiring actions necessary for compliance. In particular, licenses and permits issued or granted to us by relevant governmental bodies may be revoked at a later time by higher regulatory bodies. If we are forced to adjust our corporate structure or business as a result of changes in government policy on foreign investment or changes in the interpretation and application of existing or new laws, our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects may be harmed. Moreover, uncertainties in the Chinese legal system may impede our ability to enforce contracts with our business partners, customers and suppliers, or otherwise pursue claims in litigation to recover damages or loss of property, which could adversely affect our business and operations.
Current wording
Our business and corporate transactions, including our operations through the JV Company, are subject to laws and regulations applicable to foreign investment in China as well as laws and regulations applicable to foreign-invested enterprises. These laws and regulations frequently change, and their interpretation and enforcement involve uncertainties that could limit the legal protections available to us. Regulations and rules on foreign investments in China impose restrictions on the means that a foreign investor like us may apply to facilitate corporate transactions we may undertake.

Since 2018, U.S. and China trade tensions led to higher and increasing tariffs imposed by both countries on the import of goods from the other country. The U.S. government used various authorities to implement tariffs on a variety of Chinese goods and materials, which, absent exemptions, include products and applications, including consumer electronics, that incorporate our power discrete and power IC products. In response, China has imposed tariffs on certain American products, and warned of additional actions if the U.S. imposes new or increased tariffs. The continuing trade tensions could have significant adverse effects on world trade and the world economy. While the two countries have negotiated and entered into agreements to gradually reduce certain tariffs, it’s unclear whether those agreements will significantly reduce the tariffs affecting our business operations. The ultimate level of tariffs, the ultimate scope of them, and whether or how any proposed additional tariffs will impact our business is uncertain. We believe that the imposition of additional tariffs by the U.S. government on products incorporating our power semiconductors could deter our customers from purchasing our products originating from China. If so, this would reduce demand for our power semiconductor products or result in pricing adjustments that would lower our gross margin, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and results of operations.

On March 15, 2019, the National People’s Congress of the PRC promulgated the Foreign Investment Law, which took effect on January 1, 2020, and replaced the existing laws regulating foreign investment in China, namely, the Sino-foreign Equity Joint Venture Enterprise Law, the Sino-foreign Cooperative Joint Venture Enterprise Law and the Wholly Foreign-invested Enterprise Law, together with their implementation rules and ancillary regulations. The Foreign Investment Law embodies a PRC regulatory trend to rationalize its foreign investment regulatory regime in line with prevailing international practice and the legislative efforts to unify the corporate legal requirements for both foreign and domestic investments. The Foreign Investment Law establishes the basic framework for the access, promotion, protection and administration of foreign investments in China in view of investment protection and fair competition. For example, treatment of foreign investors on a national level will be no less favorable than the treatment received by domestic investors unless such investments fall within a “negative list”. On June 28, 2018, the National Development and Reform Commission (the “NDRC”) and the Ministry of Commerce of the PRC (the “MOC”) published the Special Administrative Measures for Market Access of Foreign Investment (Negative List) (2018 Edition), which identifies specific sectors where foreign investors will be subject to special administrative measures. The Negative List has been updated three times in June 2019, June 2020 and December 2021. The current effective Negative List (2021 Edition) took effect on January 1, 2022.
