1. The Company and Significant Accounting Policies

The Company

Alpha and Omega Semiconductor Limited and its subsidiaries (the “Company,” "AOS," "we" or "us") design, develop and supply a broad range of power semiconductors. The Company's portfolio of products targets high-volume applications, including personal computers, flat panel TVs, LED lighting, smart phones, battery packs, consumer and industrial motor controls and power supplies for TVs, computers, servers and telecommunications equipment. The Company conducts its operations primarily in the United States of America (“USA”), Hong Kong, China, Taiwan, Korea and Japan.

Basis of Preparation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Article 10 of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-X, as amended. They do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows in conformity with U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015. All significant intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments and accruals) considered necessary for a fair presentation of the results of operations for the periods presented have been included in the interim periods. Operating results for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2016. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2015 is derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015.

Reclassification

The Company has reclassified certain amounts previously reported in its financial statements to conform to the current presentation. These reclassifications did not have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Correction of Errors

In this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, certain prior period financial information has been restated due to an accounting correction. During the quarter ended March 31, 2016, the Company identified and recorded immaterial errors related to the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013. The immaterial errors resulted from overstatement of long-term deferred income tax liabilities and income tax expenses. The overall impact of the errors on the Company's consolidated financial position and results of operations is not material and as such, previously filed Annual Reports on Form 10-K and Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q for the periods affected by the errors have not been amended.

The adjustments resulted in a decrease in net loss of $172,000, $204,000 and $149,000 for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013, respectively and a decrease in basic and diluted net loss per common share of $0.01 for the years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013. The impact to the consolidated balance sheets as of June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013 was a decrease in deferred income tax liabilities of $525,000, $353,000 and $149,000, respectively and an increase in retained earnings by the same amounts. All prior period amounts in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q affected by the errors reflect such amounts.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of the condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires the Company to make estimates, judgments and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements will be affected. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the estimates, judgments and assumptions including those related to stock rotation returns, price adjustments, allowance for doubtful accounts, inventory reserves, warranty accrual, income taxes, share-based compensation, and useful lives for property, plant and equipment and intangible assets.

Fair Value of Financial Instruments

The fair value of cash equivalents are based on observable market prices and have been categorized in Level 1 in the fair value hierarchy. Cash equivalents consist primarily of short term bank deposits. The carrying values of financial instruments such as cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable and accounts payable approximate their carrying values due to their short-term maturities.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets

Long-lived assets or asset groups are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. Factors that would necessitate an impairment assessment include a significant decline in the observable market value of an asset, a significant change in the extent or manner in which an asset is used, or any other significant adverse change that would indicate that the carrying amount of an asset or group of assets may not be recoverable. Where such factors indicate potential impairment, the recoverability of an asset or asset group is assessed by determining if the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets over the remaining economic life. The impairment loss is measured based on the difference between the carrying amount and the estimated fair value.

Comprehensive Income (Loss)

Comprehensive income (loss) is defined as the change in equity of a business enterprise during a period from transactions and other events and circumstances from non-owner sources. The Company's accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) consists of cumulative foreign currency translation adjustments. Total comprehensive income (loss) is presented in the condensed consolidated statements of comprehensive income (loss).

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2016-09"). ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification of related amounts within the statement of cash flows. This guidance is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2016, the FASB issued No. 2016-02, Leases ("ASU 2016-02"). This guidance requires a dual approach for lessee accounting under which a lessee will account for leases as finance leases or operating leases. Both finance and operating leases will result in the lessee recognizing a right-of-use asset and a corresponding liability on its balance sheet, with differing methodology for income statement recognition. This guidance is effective for public business entities for fiscal years, and interim periods within those years, beginning after December 15, 2018, and early adoption is permitted. A modified retrospective approach is required for all leases existing or entered into after the beginning of the earliest comparative period in the consolidated financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact that adoption of this guidance will have on its consolidated financial statements.

In July 2015, the FASB issued No. 2015-11, Inventory - Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory ("ASU 2015-11"). ASU 2015-11 is additional guidance regarding the subsequent measurement of inventory by requiring inventory to be measured at the lower of cost and net realizable value. This guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest -Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30): Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs. The amendments in this ASU require that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts and the accounting for debt issue costs under IFRS. The recognition and measurement guidance for debt issuance costs are not affected by the amendments in this ASU. ASU 2015-03 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2015, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption of the amendments in this Update is

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

permitted for financial statements that have not been previously issued. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In February 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-2, “Consolidation (Topic 820): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis.” ASU 2015-2 provides a revised consolidation model for all reporting entities to use in evaluating whether they should consolidate certain legal entities. All legal entities will be subject to reevaluation under this revised consolidation model. The revised consolidation model, among other things, (i) modifies the evaluation of whether limited partnerships and similar legal entities are VIEs or voting interest entities, (ii) eliminates the presumption that a general partner should consolidate a limited partnership, and (iii) modifies the consolidation analysis of reporting entities that are involved with VIEs through fee arrangements and related party relationships. ASU 2015-2 is effective for fiscal years, and interim reporting periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In August 2014, the FASB issued amended standards No. 2014-15, Presentation of Financial Statements - Going Concern ("ASU 2014-15"), to provide guidance about management’s responsibility to evaluate whether there is substantial doubt about an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern and to provide related footnote disclosures requirement. The amendments (1) provide a definition of the term substantial doubt, (2) require an evaluation for each annual and interim reporting period, (3) provide principles for considering the mitigating effect of management’s plans, (4) require certain disclosures when substantial doubt is alleviated as a result of consideration of management’s plans, (5) require an express statement and other disclosures when substantial doubt is not alleviated, and (6) require an assessment for a period of one year after the date that the financial statements are issued (or available to be issued). ASU 2014-15 is effective for the annual period ending after December 15, 2016, and for annual periods and interim periods thereafter. Early adoption is permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). The standard provides companies with a single model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The core principle of the model is to recognize revenue when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer, as opposed to recognizing revenue when the risks and rewards transfer to the customer under the existing revenue guidance. In August 2015, the FASB issued an accounting standard update for a one-year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2017 and permits entities to early adopt the standard of ASU 2014-09 for annual and interim reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Companies are permitted to either apply the requirements retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or apply the requirements in the year of adoption, through a cumulative adjustment. The Company is in the process of evaluating the timing of its adoption and the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.

3. Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers

The Company manages its credit risk associated with exposure to distributors and direct customers on outstanding accounts receivable through the application and review of credit approvals, credit ratings and other monitoring procedures. In some instances, the Company also obtains letters of credit from certain customers.

Credit sales, which are mainly on credit terms of 30 to 60 days, are only made to customers who meet the Company's credit requirements, while sales to new customers or customers with low credit ratings are usually made on an advance payment basis. The Company considers its trade accounts receivable to be of good credit quality because its key distributors and direct customers have long-standing business relationships with the Company and the Company has not experienced any significant write-offs of accounts receivable in the past. The Company closely monitors the aging of accounts receivable from its distributors and direct customers, and regularly reviews their financial positions, when available.

Summarized below are individual customers whose revenue or accounts receivable balances were more than 10% of the respective total consolidated amounts:



	Three Months Ended March 31,				Nine Months Ended March 31,
Percentage of revenue	2016		2015		2016		2015

5. Shareholders' Equity and Share-based Compensation

Share Repurchase

In April 2015, the Board of Directors approved an increase in the remaining available amount under the Company’s then effective share repurchase program from approximately $17.8 million to $50.0 million. The repurchases may be made from the open market pursuant to a pre-established Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (as amended, the "Repurchase Trading Plan") or through privately negotiated transactions.

In June 2015, the Company commenced a modified Dutch auction tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to repurchase an aggregate of $30.0 million of its outstanding common shares with a price range between $8.50 and $9.20 per share. In July 2015, the Company completed the Tender Offer in which it purchased 3,296,703 shares of its common shares, at a purchase price of $9.10 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $30.0 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Tender Offer. These shares represented approximately 12.53% of the total number of the Company's common shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2015. The Tender Offer was part of the $50.0 million share repurchase program approved by the Board on April 15, 2015. Immediately following the completion of the Tender Offer, approximately $18.2 million remained available under the share repurchase program.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, the Company repurchased 4,695,499 shares from the open market, including 3,296,703 shares in the Tender Offer, for a total cost of $41.8 million, at an average price of $8.90 per share, excluding fees and related expenses of $0.3 million, under the share repurchase program. Since the inception of the program in 2010, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 5,723,093 shares from the open market for a total cost of $50.8 million, at an average price of $8.87 per share, excluding fees and related expenses. No repurchased shares have been retired. Of the 5,723,093 repurchased shares, 44,345 shares with a weighted average repurchase price of $13.86 per share, were reissued at an average price of $2.38 per share for option exercises and vested restricted share units.

The Company accounts for treasury stock under the cost method. Shares repurchased are accounted for as treasury shares and the total cost of shares repurchased is recorded as a reduction of shareholders' equity. From time to time, treasury shares may be reissued as part of the Company's share-based compensation programs. Gains on re-issuance of treasury stock are credited to additional paid-in capital; losses are expensed to additional paid-in capital to offset the net gains, if any, from previous sales or re-issuance of treasury stock. Any remaining balance of the losses are expensed to retained earnings.

As of March 31, 2016, total unrecognized compensation cost under the Company's equity plans was $6.0 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

6. Income Taxes

The Company recognized income tax expense of approximately $1.2 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The Company recognized income tax expense of approximately $3.4 million and $2.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. The estimated effective tax rate for the three months ended March 31, 2016 was (2,770.5)% compared to (20.5)% for the three months ended March 31, 2015. The estimated effective tax rate for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was (246.1)% compared to (140.5)% for the nine months ended March 31, 2015. The changes in the effective tax rate and tax expense between the periods resulted primarily from changes in the mix of earnings in various geographic jurisdictions between the current and same period of last year.

The Company files its income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. The tax years 2001 to 2015 remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities. The tax years 2009 to 2015 remain open to examination by foreign tax authorities.

The Company's income tax returns are subject to examinations by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities in various jurisdictions. In accordance with the guidance on the accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from these examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. These assessments can require considerable estimates and judgments. As of March 31, 2016, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $6.6 million, of which $4.4 million, if recognized, would reduce the effective income tax rate in future periods. If the Company's estimate of income tax liabilities proves to be less than the ultimate assessment, then a further charge to expense would be required. If events occur and the payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when the Company determines the liabilities are no longer necessary. The Company does not anticipate any material changes to its uncertain tax positions during the next twelve months.

On July 27, 2015, in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion related to the treatment of share-based compensation expense in an intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. A final decision has yet to be issued by the Tax Court due to other outstanding issues related to the case. At this time, the U.S. Department of the Treasury has not withdrawn the requirement to include share-based compensation from its regulations. Due to the uncertainty surrounding the status of the current regulations, questions related to the scope of potential benefits, and the risk of the Tax Court’s decision being overturned upon appeal, the Company has not recorded any benefit as of March 31, 2016. The Company will continue to monitor ongoing developments and potential impacts to its financial statements.

7. Segment and Geographic Information

The Company is organized as, and operates in, one operating segment: the design, development and supply of power semiconductor products for computing, consumer electronics, communication and industrial applications. The chief operating decision-maker is the Chief Executive Officer. The financial information presented to the Company's Chief Executive Officer is on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about revenue by customer and geographic region, for purposes of evaluating financial performance and allocating resources. The Company has one business segment, and there are no segment managers who are held accountable for operations, operating results and plans for products or components below the consolidated unit level. Accordingly, the Company reports as a single operating segment.

The Company sells its products primarily to distributors in the Asia Pacific region, who in turn sell these products to end customers. Because the Company's distributors sell their products to end customers which may have a global presence, revenue by geographical location is not necessarily representative of the geographical distribution of sales to end user markets.

The revenue by geographical location in the following tables is based on the country or region to which the products were shipped to:

8. Commitments and Contingencies

Purchase Commitments

As of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, the Company had approximately $39.4 million and $29.2 million, respectively, of outstanding purchase commitments primarily for purchases of semiconductor raw materials, wafers, spare parts and packaging and testing services, and approximately $8.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of capital commitments for the purchase of property and equipment.

Contingencies and Indemnities

The Company is currently not a party to any pending material legal proceedings. The Company has in the past, and may from time to time in the future, become involved in legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. The semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, including claims regarding patent and other intellectual property rights as well as improper hiring practices. Irrespective of the validity of such claims, the Company could incur significant costs in the defense of such claims and suffer adverse effects on its operations.

The Company is a party to a variety of agreements that it has contracted with various third parties. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company may be obligated to indemnify another party to such an agreement with respect to certain matters. Typically, these obligations arise in the context of contracts entered into by the Company, under which the Company customarily agrees to hold the other party harmless against losses arising from a breach of representations and covenants related to such matters as title to assets sold, certain intellectual property rights, specified environmental matters and certain income taxes. In these circumstances, payment by the Company is customarily conditioned on the other party making a claim pursuant to the procedures specified in the particular contract, which procedures typically allow the Company to challenge the other party's claim. Further, the Company's obligations under these agreements may be limited in time and/or amount, and in some instances, the Company may have recourse against third parties for certain payments made by it under these agreements. The Company has not historically paid or recorded any material indemnifications and no accrual has been made at March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015.

The Company has agreed to indemnify its directors and certain employees as permitted by law and pursuant to its bye-laws, and has entered into indemnification agreements with its directors and executive officers. The Company has not recorded a liability associated with these indemnification arrangements, as it historically has not incurred any material costs associated with such indemnification obligations. Costs associated with such indemnification obligations may be mitigated by insurance coverage that the Company maintains. However, such insurance may not cover any, or may cover only a portion of, the amounts the Company may be required to pay. In addition, the Company may not be able to maintain such insurance coverage in the future.

Joint Venture

In March 2016, the Company executed an agreement with two strategic investment funds owned by the Municipality of Chongqing, China to form a joint venture for a new state-of-the-art power semiconductor packaging, testing and wafer fabrication facility in Liangjiang New Area of Chongqing (the "Joint Venture"). The initial capitalization of the Joint Venture under the agreement is $330.0 million, which includes cash contribution from the Chongqing funds and contributions of cash, equipments and intangible assets from the Company. The Company will own 51% and the Chongqing funds will own 49% of the equity interest of the Joint Venture. The Joint Venture will be accounted under the provisions of the consolidation guidance since the Company has controlling financial interest.

The Joint Venture is expected to commence its initial packaging production in 2017. Within one year, the Company will contribute cash of $10.0 million, equipments and intangible assets. Over the long term, the Joint Venture expects to construct a 12-inch wafer fabrication facility for the production of power semiconductors.

This management’s discussion should be read in conjunction with the management’s discussion included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2015, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on August 27, 2015.

Overview

We are a designer, developer and global supplier of a broad portfolio of power semiconductors. Our portfolio of power semiconductors includes approximately 1,500 products, and has grown significantly with the introduction of over 100 new products during each of the fiscal years ended June 30, 2015, 2014 and 2013. During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, we introduced an additional 78 new products. Our teams of scientists and engineers have developed extensive intellectual properties and technical knowledge that encompass major aspects of power semiconductors, which we believe enables us to introduce and develop innovative products to address the increasingly complex power requirements of advanced electronics. We have an extensive patent portfolio that consists of 589 patents and 155 patent applications in the United States as of March 31, 2016. We differentiate ourselves by integrating our expertise in technology, design and advanced packaging to optimize product performance and cost. Our portfolio of products targets high-volume applications, including personal computers, flat panel TVs, LED lighting, smart phones, battery packs, consumer and industrial motor controls and power supplies for TVs, computers, servers and telecommunications equipment.

Our business model leverages global resources, including research and development and manufacturing in the United States and Asia. Our sales and technical support teams are localized in several growing markets. We operate a 200mm wafer fabrication facility in Hillsboro, Oregon, or the Oregon fab, which is critical for us to accelerate proprietary technology development and new product introduction as well as to improve our financial performance in the long run. To meet the market demand for more mature high volume products, we also utilize the wafer manufacturing capacity of selected third party foundries. For assembly and test, we primarily rely upon our in-house facilities in China. In addition, we utilize subcontracting partners for industry standard packages. We believe our in-house packaging and testing capability provides us with a competitive advantage in proprietary packaging technology, product quality, cost and sales cycle time.

During the second quarter of fiscal year of 2016, we introduced the industry's first single n-channel 45V MOSFET with an ultra-low on-resistance of 1.15Ohms at 10V. This addition to our medium voltage product portfolio is designed to address a wide range of applications including secondary-side synchronous rectification in AC/DC and DC/DC converters, as well as industrial and motor drive applications. We also released AOC3864, a common-drain 20V dual n-channel MOSFET with an ultra-low on-resistance of 5.7mOhms at 4.5V. This new device offers the best approach in designing battery protection circuit modules, while providing a strong and reliable solution. In addition, we introduced the new generation of high efficiency PairFETs. The AOE6930 is an asymmetric package with integrated high-side and low-side MOSFETs. The product is designed with our latest silicon technology to optimize the conducting resistance and the switching characteristics of both MOSFETs in order to attain the highest efficiency over the whole output range when working as the power stage for a Vcore power supply circuit. The combination of AOS's XSFET™ technology in this new generation PairFET package, gives the device an extra advantage in thermal dissipation. Moreover, we released the AOZ3101, a high efficiency, simple-to-use synchronous buck regulator, with an operating input voltage range from 4.5V to 18V, supplying 2A of continuous current. The device offers a low on-resistant power stage in a thermally enhanced 3mm x 3mm DFN package, allowing cooler power conversion for a variety of consumer electronics application such as LCD TVs, set-top boxes, as well as DVD players and recorders. During the first quarter of fiscal year of 2016, we released AO4294, the latest addition to our family of high efficiency charging solutions. This new device is offered in an easy-to-use SO-8 package, which helps manufacturers keep the mounting cost low, while still getting the best efficiency and

power dissipation possible. The AO4294 is an ideal solution for synchronours rectification in high efficiency chargers and adapters for mobile devices. We also released AOZ3053, a 5A EZBuck DC/DC regulator with smart mode adaption functions, available in a thermally enhanced exposed pad SO-8 package. The AOZ3053 is the first of this new smart platform, which allows for more thermally efficient DC/DC solutions for consumer, networking and industrial applications such as LCD TVs, set-top boxes, cable modems, and power supplies.

On March 29, 2016, we entered into a joint venture contract (the “JV Agreement”) with two investment funds affiliated with the municipalities of Chongqing (the “Chongqing Funds”), pursuant to which we and Chongqing Funds will form a joint venture, (the “JV Company”), for the purpose of constructing a power semiconductor packaging, testing and wafer fabrication facility in the Liangjiang New Area of Chongqing, China (the “JV Transaction”). The total initial capitalization of the JV Company will be $330.0 million (the “Initial Capitalization”). The Initial Capitalization will be completed in stages commencing on the incorporation of the JV Company. We will own 51%, and the Chongqing Funds will own 49%, of the equity interest in the JV Company. We expect the JV company to commence operation by July 2017.

Over the long term, the JV Company expects to construct a 12-inch wafer fabrication facility for the production of power semiconductors. We expect the joint venture to deliver significant cost savings as well as drive meaningful improvements in working capital and capital expenditures.

Factors affecting our performance

Our performance is affected by several key factors, including the following:

The global, regional economic and PC market conditions: Because our products primarily serve consumer electronic applications, a deterioration of the global and regional economic conditions could materially affect our revenue and results of operations. In particular, because a significant amount of our revenue is derived from sales of products in the personal computing ("PC") markets, such as notebooks, motherboards and notebook battery packs, a significant decline or downturn in the PC market can have a material adverse effect on our revenue and results of operations. Our revenue from the PC market accounted for approximately 36.4% and 47.3% of our total revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and 42.2% and 47.1% for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Since the beginning of calendar year 2013, we have experienced a significant global decline in the PC market due to continued growth of demand in tablets and smart phones, worldwide economic conditions and the industry inventory correction which had and may continue to have a material negative impact on the demand for our products, revenue, factory utilization, gross margin, our ability to resell excess inventory, and other performance measures.

In response to this trend, we continue to execute our strategies of diversifying our portfolio of products and expanding into other market segments, including the consumer, communications and industrial market segments, improving gross margin and profit by implementing cost control measures. While making progress in reducing our reliance on the PC market, we continue to support our computing business and capitalize on opportunities with a more focused and competitive PC product strategy. As we develop and sell new products that serve more diversified markets, we expect sales based on the PC market, as a percentage of the total revenue to decline. If the rate of decline in the PC market is faster than our expectation, or if we cannot successfully diversify or introduce new products to offset the decline in the PC market, we may not be able to alleviate its negative impact on our operating results.

Manufacturing costs: Our gross margin may be affected by our manufacturing costs, including utilization of our manufacturing facilities, pricing of wafers from third party foundries and semiconductor raw materials, which may fluctuate from time to time largely due to the market demand and supply. Capacity utilization affects our gross margin because we have certain fixed costs associated with our packaging and testing facilities and our Oregon fab. If we are unable to utilize our manufacturing facilities at a desired level, our gross margin may be adversely affected. In addition, we expect that in the long term our joint venture agreement with the Chongqing Funds will reduce our costs of manufacturing. However, our manufacturing costs may increase in the short term prior to the commencement of operation of the JV Company, because we may be required to incur additional costs to acquire packaging and testing capacity in order make up for the reduced capacity during the period in which we transfer our equipments from Shanghai to Chongqing.

Erosion of average selling price: Erosion of average selling prices of established products is typical in our industry. Consistent with this historical trend, we expect our average selling prices of existing products to decline in the future. However, in the normal course of business, we seek to offset the effect of declining average selling price by introducing new and higher value products, expanding existing products for new applications and new customers and reducing the manufacturing cost of existing products.

Product introductions and customers' product requirements: Our success depends on our ability to introduce products on a timely basis that meet or are compatible with our customers' specifications and performance requirements. Both factors, timeliness of product introductions and conformance to customers' requirements, are equally important in securing design wins with our customers. As we accelerate the development of new technology platforms, we expect to increase the pace at which we introduce new products and obtain design wins. Our failure to introduce new products on a timely basis that meet customers' specifications and performance requirements, particularly those products with major OEM customers, and our inability to continue to expand our serviceable markets, could adversely affect our financial performance, including loss of market share. We expect our joint venture with Chongqing Funds to commence operation in July 2017, and we believe that the joint venture will increase and diversify our customer base, particularly in China, in the long term. However, there is no guarantee that the joint venture will commence timely or at all. Even if we are able to commence operation, we may not be successful in acquiring a sufficient number of new customers to offset the additional costs due to various factors, including but are not limited to, competition from other semiconductor companies in the region, our lack of history and prior relationships with customers as a new entrant, difficulties in executing our joint venture strategies, lack of control over our operations and the general economic conditions in Chongqing and China.

Distributor ordering patterns and seasonality: Our distributors place purchase orders with us based on their forecasts of end customer demand, and this demand may vary significantly depending on the sales outlook and market and economic conditions of end customers. Because these forecasts may not be accurate, channel inventory held at our distributors may fluctuate significantly, which in turn may prompt distributors to make significant adjustments to their purchase orders placed with us. As a result, our revenue and operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter. In addition, because our products are used in consumer electronics products, our revenue is subject to seasonality. Our sales seasonality is affected by numerous 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 periods, broad fluctuations in the semiconductor markets and the global and regional economic conditions, in particular the decline of the PC market conditions, have had a more significant impact on our results of operations than seasonality.

Principal line items of statements of operations

The following describes the principal line items set forth in our condensed consolidated statements of operations:

Revenue

We generate revenue primarily from the sale of power semiconductors, consisting of power discretes and power ICs. Historically, a majority of our revenue was derived from power discrete products and a smaller amount was derived from power IC products. Because our products typically have three to five year life cycles, the rate of new product introduction is an important driver of revenue growth over time. We believe that expanding the breadth of our product portfolio is important to our business prospects, because it provides us with an opportunity to increase our total bill-of-materials within an electronic system and to address the power requirements of additional electronic systems. In addition, a small percentage of our total revenue is generated by providing packaging and testing services to third-parties through one of our subsidiaries.

Our product revenue includes the effect of the estimated stock rotation returns and price adjustments that we expect to provide to our distributors. Stock rotation returns are governed by contract and are limited to a specified percentage of the monetary value of products purchased by the distributor during a specified period. At our discretion or upon our direct negotiations with the original design manufacturers ("ODMs") or original equipment manufacturers ("OEMs"), we may elect to grant special pricing that is below the prices at which we sold our products to the distributors. In these situations, we will grant price adjustments to the distributors reflecting such special pricing. We estimate the price adjustments for inventory at the distributors based on factors such as distributor inventory levels, pre-approved future distributor selling prices, distributor margins and demand for our products.

Cost of goods sold

Our cost of goods sold primarily consists of costs associated with semiconductor wafers, packaging and testing, personnel, including share-based compensation expense, overhead attributable to manufacturing, operations and procurement, and cost associated with yield improvements, capacity utilization, warranty and inventory reserves. As the volume of sales increases, we expect cost of goods sold to increase. We implemented a process to improve our factory capacity utilization rates by transferring more wafer production to our Oregon fab and reducing our reliance on outside foundries. While our utilization rates cannot be immune to market conditions, our goal is to make such rates less vulnerable to market fluctuations. We believe our market

diversification strategy and product growth will drive higher volumes of manufacturing which will improve our factory utilization rates and gross margin in the long run.

Operating expenses

Our operating expenses consist of research and development, selling, general and administrative expenses. We expect our operating expenses as a percentage of revenue to fluctuate from period to period as we continue to exercise cost control measures in response to the declining PC market as well as align our operating expenses to the revenue level.

Research and development expenses. Our research and development expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, benefits, share-based compensation expense, expenses associated with new product prototypes, travel expenses, fees for engineering services provided by outside contractors and consultants, amortization of software and design tools, depreciation of equipment and overhead costs. We continue to invest in developing new technologies and products utilizing our own fabrication and packaging facilities as it is critical to our long-term success. We also evaluate appropriate investment levels and stay focused on new product introductions to improve our competitiveness. We expect that our research and development expenses will fluctuate from time to time.

Selling, general and administrative expenses. Our selling, general and administrative expenses consist primarily of salaries, bonuses, benefits, share-based compensation expense, product promotion costs, occupancy costs, travel expenses, expenses related to sales and marketing activities, amortization of software, depreciation of equipment, maintenance costs and other expenses for general and administrative functions as well as costs for outside professional services, including legal, audit and accounting services. We expect our selling, general and administrative expenses to fluctuate in the near future as we continue to exercise cost control measures in response to the declining PC market.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets: Long-lived assets or asset groups are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying amount of an asset might not be recoverable. The recoverability of an asset or asset group is assessed by determining if the carrying value of the asset or asset group exceeds the sum of the projected undiscounted cash flows expected to result from the use and eventual disposition of the assets over the remaining economic life. The impairment loss is measured based on the difference between the carrying amount and estimated fair value.

Income tax expense

We are subject to income taxes in various jurisdictions. Significant judgment and estimates are required in determining our worldwide income tax expense. The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of complex tax regulations of different jurisdictions globally. We establish accruals for potential liabilities and contingencies based on a more likely than not threshold to the recognition and de-recognition of uncertain tax positions. If the recognition threshold is met, the applicable accounting guidance permits us to recognize a tax benefit measured at the largest amount of tax benefit that is more likely than not to be realized upon settlement with a taxing authority. If the actual tax outcome of such exposures is different from the amounts that were initially recorded, the differences will impact the income tax and deferred tax provisions in the period in which such determination is made. Changes in the location of taxable income (loss) could result in significant changes in our income tax expense.

We record a valuation allowance against deferred tax assets if it is more likely than not that a portion of the deferred tax assets will not be realized, based on historical profitability and our estimate of future taxable income in a particular jurisdiction. Our judgments regarding future taxable income may change due to changes in market conditions, changes in tax laws, tax planning strategies or other factors. If our assumptions and consequently our estimates change in the future, the deferred tax assets may increase or decrease, resulting in corresponding changes in income tax expense. Our effective tax rate is highly dependent upon the geographic distribution of our worldwide profits or losses, the tax laws and regulations in each geographical region where we have operations, the availability of tax credits and carry-forwards and the effectiveness of our tax planning strategies.

Total revenue was $83.0 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $6.1 million, or 7.9%, as compared to $76.9 million for the same quarter last year. The increase primarily consisted of $4.3 million and $2.5 million in sales of power discrete products and power IC products, respectively. The increase in power discrete and power IC products was primarily due to a 15.8% increase in average selling price as compared to the same period last year due to a shift in product mix, partially offset by a 5.6% decrease in unit shipments. The decrease in packaging and testing services revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to reduced demand as a result of the decline in PC market.

Total revenue was $244.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $2.2 million, or 0.9%, as compared to $246.5 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.5 million decrease in sales of power discrete products, partially offset by $1.2 million increase in sales of power IC products. The net decrease in product revenue, including power discrete and power IC products was mainly a result of a 8.8% decrease in unit shipments, partially offset by a 9.3% increase in average selling price mainly due to a shift in product mix. The decrease in revenue of packaging and testing services for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 compared to the same period last year was primarily due to reduced demand as a result of the declining PC market.

Cost of goods sold and gross profit



	Three Months Ended March 31,										Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2016			2015			Change				2016			2015			Change
	(in thousands)						(in thousands)		(in percentage)		(in thousands)						(in thousands)			(in percentage)
Cost of goods sold	$	66,668		$	64,154		$	2,514	3.9	%	$	197,899		$	200,297		$	(2,398	)	(1.2	)%

Percentage of revenue	19.7		%	16.6		%					19.0		%	18.7		%

Cost of goods sold was $66.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $2.5 million, or 3.9%, as compared to $64.2 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to product mix, partially offset by decrease in unit shipments. The increase was partially offset by the overall manufacturing cost reduction as compared to the same period last year. Gross margin increased by 3.1% point to 19.7% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to 16.6% for the same period last year. The increase in gross margin was primarily due to better product mix and higher factory utilization during the three months ended March 31, 2016.

Cost of goods sold was $197.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $2.4 million, or 1.2%, as compared to $200.3 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily due to decreased unit shipments. The decrease was partially offset by the overall increase in manufacturing cost due to lower factory utilization as compared to the same period last year. Gross margin for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 remained flat.

Research and development expenses



	Three Months Ended March 31,									Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015		Change					2016		2015		Change
	(in thousands)				(in thousands)			(in percentage)		(in thousands)				(in thousands)			(in percentage)
Research and development	$	6,924	$	6,929	$	(5	)	(0.1	)%	$	19,029	$	20,155	$	(1,126	)	(5.6	)%

Research and development expenses were $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015. The slight decrease was primarily attributable to a $0.2 million decrease in product prototyping engineering expenses as a result of reduced engineering activities, as well as a $0.1 million decrease in employee travel expenses as a result of continued operational and cost control effort, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in share-based compensation expense as a result of a decrease in cancellation of stock options and award in the current quarter.

Research and development expenses were $19.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, a decrease of $1.1 million, or 5.6%, as compared to $20.2 million for the same period last year. The decrease was primarily attributable to a $0.3 million decrease in product prototyping engineering expenses as a result of reduced engineering activities, a $0.5 million decrease in employee compensation expenses primarily due to lower headcount in current period, and severance payment related to the resignation of our Chief Technology Officer during the same period last year, as well as a $0.2 million decrease in employee travel expenses and $0.1 million decrease in facilities expenses as a result of continued cost control effort during the current period as compared to the same period last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses



	Three Months Ended March 31,								Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015		Change				2016		2015		Change
	(in thousands)				(in thousands)		(in percentage)		(in thousands)				(in thousands)		(in percentage)
Selling, general and administrative	$	9,444	$	9,219	$	225	2.4	%	$	28,300	$	27,958	$	342	1.2	%

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $9.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $0.2 million, or 2.4%, as compared to $9.2 million for the same quarter last year. The increase was primarily due to $0.3 million increase in employee compensation and benefits related to severance payments and higher bonus expenses. These increases were partially offset by a $0.1 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense as a result of certain fully depreciated assets.

Selling, general and administrative expenses were $28.3 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016, an increase of $0.3 million, or 1.2%, as compared to $28.0 million for the same period last year. The increase was primarily due to $0.6 million increase in foreign exchange losses from appreciation of USD against RMB for current period over prior year same period, a $0.2 million increase in audit and tax fees due to increased related consulting activities, and a $0.4 million increase in employee compensation and benefits mainly due to an increase in headcount. The increase was partially offset by $0.4 million decrease in depreciation and amortization expense as a result of certain fully depreciated assets and $0.5 million decrease in share-based compensation expense primarily as a result of a decrease in equity award grants and an increase in cancellation of stock options and restricted share unit awards related to the resignation of an executive officer during the current period.

Impairment of long-lived assets

During the quarter ended December 31, 2015, we identified certain manufacturing equipments purchased for projects that were subsequently canceled. Because the equipments had no alternative uses, we recorded an asset impairment expense of approximately $0.4 million related to these equipments during the quarter ended December 31, 2015.

Interest income and expenses

Interest income was primarily related to interest earned from cash and cash equivalents. The decrease in interest income during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the same periods last year was primarily due to the decrease in average cash balances.

Interest expense was primarily related to bank borrowings. The decrease in interest expenses during the nine months ended March 31, 2016 as compared to the same periods last year was primarily due to the $20.0 million term loan obtained in May 2012 for our Oregon fab which was fully repaid in May 2015.

Income tax expense



	Three Months Ended March 31,								Nine Months Ended March 31,
	2016		2015		Change				2016		2015		Change
	(in thousands)				(in thousands)		(in percentage)		(in thousands)				(in thousands)		(in percentage)
Income tax expense	$	1,219	$	698	$	521	74.6	%	$	3,448	$	2,826	$	622	22.0	%

We recognized income tax expense of approximately $1.2 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and approximately $3.4 million and $2.8 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

The income tax expense for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015 was higher than the tax expense for the same periods last year primarily due to the changes in the mix of earnings in various geographic jurisdictions between the current and same period of last year.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Our principal need for liquidity and capital resources is to maintain sufficient working capital to support our operations and to invest adequate capital expenditures to grow of our business. Currently, we financed our operations and capital expenditures primarily through funds generated from operations.

In April 2015, our Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase in the remaining available amount under the Company’s then effective share repurchase program from approximately $17.8 million to $50.0 million. The repurchases may be made from the open market pursuant to a pre-established Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (as amended, the "Repurchase Trading Plan") or through privately negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of any repurchases depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to, the trading price, volume and availability of our common shares, applicable legal requirements, our business and financial conditions and general market environment. There is no guarantee that such repurchases under the Program will enhance the value of our shares.

In June 2015, we commenced a modified Dutch auction tender offer (the "Tender Offer") to repurchase an aggregate of $30.0 million of our outstanding common shares with a price range between $8.50 and $9.20 per share. In July 2015, we completed the Tender Offer in which we purchased 3,296,703 shares of its common shares, at a purchase price of $9.10 per share, for an aggregate purchase price of $30.0 million, excluding fees and expenses relating to the Tender Offer. These shares represented approximately 12.53% of the total number of the Company's common shares issued and outstanding as of June 30, 2015. The Tender Offer was part of the $50.0 million share repurchase program approved by the Board on April 15, 2015.

During the nine months ended March 31, 2016, we repurchased a total of 4,695,499 shares from the open market, including 3,296,703 common shares in the Tender Offer, for a total cost of $41.8 million, at an average price of $8.90 per share, excluding fees and related expenses of $0.3 million, under the share repurchase program. Since the inception of the program in 2010, the Company repurchased an aggregate of 5,723,093 shares from the open market for a total cost of $50.8 million, at an average price of $8.87 per share, excluding fees and related expenses. As of March 31, 2016, approximately $6.4 million remained available under the share repurchase program. Shares repurchased are accounted for as treasury shares and the total cost of shares repurchased is recorded as a reduction of shareholders' equity.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents and cash flows from operations will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs, including working capital and capital expenditures, for at least the next twelve months. We may require additional capital due to changing business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our cash is insufficient to meet our needs, we may seek to raise capital through equity or debt financing. The sale of additional equity securities could result in dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and may include operating and financial covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot be certain that any financing will be available in the amounts we need or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

Cash and cash equivalents

As of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, we had $78.9 million and $106.1 million of cash and cash equivalents, respectively. Our cash and cash equivalents primarily consisted of cash on hand and short-term bank deposits with original maturities of three months or less.

The following table shows our cash flows from operating, investing and financing activities for the periods indicated:

The non-cash expenses of $25.0 million include $20.7 million of depreciation and amortization expenses, $3.0 million of share-based compensation expense, $0.4 million of impairment of long-lived assets and $0.8 million of deferred income taxes. The net changes in assets and liabilities of $6.2 million were primarily due to $6.7 million decrease in accounts receivable from timing of billings and collection of payments, $2.3 million increase in accounts payable due to timing of payment, $0.3 million increase in income taxes payable and $3.1 million increase in accrued and other liabilities, partially offset by a $3.7 million increase in inventories as well as a $2.5 million increase in other current and long term assets due to increase in advance payments to vendors.

Net cash provided by operating activities of $18.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 reflect our net loss of $4.8 million and net changes in assets and liabilities of $0.9 million, offset by non-cash expenses of $23.9 million. The non-cash expenses of $23.9 million include $20.8 million of depreciation and amortization expenses and $3.3 million of share-based compensation expense, partially offset by a $0.3 million of forgiveness of the loan from the State of Oregon during the period. The net changes in assets and liabilities of $0.9 million were primarily due to a $5.0 million decrease in accounts payable mainly due to timing of payment, $0.9 million increase in other current and long term assets primarily due to increase in advance payments to vendors and $0.8 million decrease in income taxes payable, partially offset by $5.6 million decrease in accounts receivable due to the timing of billings and collection of payments, $0.2 million decrease in inventories as we reduced our inventories and $0.1 million increase in accrued and other liabilities.

Cash flows from investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities of $13.8 million and $12.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, was primarily attributable to purchases of property and equipment to increase our in-house production capacity during the period.

Cash flows from financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities of $39.7 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 was primarily attributable to $42.1 million repurchases of common shares, including the repurchases in the Tender Offer, $0.9 million in common shares acquired to settle withholding tax related to vesting of restricted stock units and $0.7 million in payment of capital lease obligations, partially offset by $4.1 million of proceeds from exercise of stock options and issuance of shares under the ESPP.

Net cash used in financing activities of $10.5 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2015 was primarily attributable to $7.1 million of repayment of our borrowings, $4.0 million in repurchases of common shares under the Company's repurchase Program, $0.5 million in common shares acquired to settle withholding tax related to vesting of restricted stock units and $0.8 million in payment of capital lease obligations, partially offset by $1.9 million of proceeds from exercises of stock options and issuance of shares under the ESPP.

Capital expenditures

Capital expenditures were $13.8 million and $12.6 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Our capital expenditures primarily consisted of purchases of equipment for our packaging and testing services and for our Oregon fab as well as for upgrading our operational and financial systems. The increase in capital expenditure was primarily due to the additional purchases of equipment and assets to improve our technology and support our new product introductions to fuel business growth.

Commitments

As of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, we had approximately $39.4 million and $29.2 million, respectively, of outstanding purchase commitments primarily for purchases of semiconductor raw materials, wafers, spare parts and packaging and testing services.

As of March 31, 2016 and June 30, 2015, we had approximately $8.9 million and $3.7 million, respectively, of capital commitments for the purchase of property and equipment.

Joint Venture Commitments

In March 2016, we executed an agreement with two strategic investment funds owned by the Municipality of Chongqing, China to form a joint venture for a new state-of -the-art power semiconductor packaging, testing and wafer fabrication facility in Liangjiang New Area of Chongqing (the "Joint Venture").

There have been no material changes in the market risks previously disclosed in Part II, Item 7A, "Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk," of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015, filed with the SEC on August 27, 2015.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Management's Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended, (the “Exchange Act”)), as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2016 have been designed and are functioning effectively to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in the reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended March 31, 2016 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitation on Effectiveness of Controls

While our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance that their respective objectives will be met, we do not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting are or will be capable of preventing or detecting all errors and all fraud. Any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

We are currently not a party to any material legal proceedings. We have in the past, and may from time to time in the future, become involved in legal proceedings arising from the normal course of business activities. The semiconductor industry is characterized by frequent claims and litigation, including claims regarding patent and other intellectual property rights as well as improper hiring practices. Irrespective of the validity of such claims, we could incur significant costs in the defense thereof or could suffer adverse effects on its operations.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

In addition to the risk factors below, Item 1A of Part I of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2015, filed with the SEC on August 27, 2015, contains risk factors identified by the Company. Except for the risk factors below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors we previously disclosed. Our operations could also be affected by additional factors that are not presently known to us or by factors that we currently consider immaterial to our business.

We may not be able to realize the anticipated benefits and advantages from our joint venture with the Chongqing government.

In March 2016, we entered into a joint venture contract (the “JV Agreement”) with two investment funds owned by the municipalities of Chongqing, China (the “Chongqing Funds”), pursuant to which we and the Chongqing Funds will form a joint venture (the “JV Company”), for the purpose of constructing a power semiconductor packaging/testing and wafer fabrication facility. The total initial capitalization of the JV Company will be $330.0 million (the “Initial Capitalization”), which consists of (i) a total of $ 162.0 million of cash contribution from the Chongqing Funds; (ii) $74.0 million of existing packaging and testing equipment owned by us located in Shanghai, China; (iii) certain intellectual property rights, including patents, held by us relating to the manufacturing technology valued at $84.0 million; and (iv) $10.0 million of cash contribution by us. We will own 51%, and the Chongqing Funds will own 49%, of the equity interest in the JV Company. The Initial Capitalization will be completed in stages and we expect the JV Company to commence operation in July 2017.

We may encounter unanticipated difficulties and obstacles that may delay or prevent the commencement of the JV Company's operation, some of which are outside of our control. These difficulties may include unexpected costs or delays in transferring our assembly and testing operations to the new facility; inability to coordinate and integrate the labor forces; delays in obtaining the necessary Chinese government approval to establish the joint venture; failure of the Chongqing Funds to meet their obligations under the JV Agreement; and inability to provide customers with required services. In addition, we may not be able to fully utilize our packaging and testing capacity during the period when our facilities are being transferred from Shanghai to Chongqing, which may negatively impact our business and results of operations.

Even if the joint venture is able to commence operation, we may not fully realize the anticipated benefits of the project, such as cost savings, improvement in working capital, increased gross margin, revenue and profitability, enhanced market share for our products; and increased diversification of our products and customers. The establishment and operation of a new manufacturing facility involve significant risks and challenges, including, but are not limited to, the following:


•	Inability to gain or sustain sufficient new customers and market shares to offset the additional costs of building and operating a new facility;


•	Lack of sufficient control over the operation and finances of the joint venture;


•	Insufficient personnel with requisite expertise and experiences to operate a 12-in fabrication facility;


•	Inability to fully integrate the joint venture with our existing fabrication facility in Oregon, and inability to fully utilize both fabrication facilities;


•	Failure of Chongqing Funds to meet its obligations under the JV Agreement;


•	Difficulties in protecting and enforcing our intellectual property rights;


•	Difficulties in maintaining international communications and coordination between our locations in the U.S. and China;


•	Inability to take advantage of the expected tax savings;


•	Changes or uncertainties in economic, legal, regulatory, social and political conditions in China, and lack of transparency and certainty in the Chinese regulatory process;


•	Labor disputes and difficulties in recruiting new employees; and


•	Additional costs and complexity with compliance of local and state regulations of Chongqing.

Any of the foregoing risks could materially reduce the expected return of our investment in the joint venture and adversely affects our business operations, financial performance and the trading price of our shares.

ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS

In April 2015, our Board of Directors of the Company approved an increase in the remaining available amount under the Company’s then existing share repurchase program from approximately $17.8 million to $50.0 million. Under this program, the repurchases may be made from the open market pursuant to a pre-established Rule 10b5-1 trading plan (as amended, the "Repurchase Trading Plan") or through privately negotiated transactions. The amount and timing of any repurchases depend on a number of factors, including but not limited to, the trading price, volume and availability of our common shares, applicable legal requirements, our business and financial conditions an general market environment. There is no guarantee that any repurchases under the program will be made or that such repurchases would enhance the value of our shares.

The following table sets for the share repurchases under this program during the third fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2016.
