RISK FACTORS

An investment in our common shares involves a high degree of risk. You should carefully consider the following information about risks, together with the other information contained in this prospectus, including our consolidated financial statements and related notes, before you decide to buy our common shares. If any of the circumstances or events described below actually arises or occurs, our business, results of operations and financial condition would likely suffer. In any such case, the market price of our common shares could decline, and you may lose all or part of your investment.

Risks Related to Our Business

Our operating results may fluctuate from period to period due to many factors, which may make it difficult to predict our future performance.

Our periodic operating results may fluctuate as a result of a number of factors, many of which are beyond our control. These factors include, among others:

Any one or a combination of the above factors and other risk factors described in this section may cause our operating results to fluctuate from period to period, making it difficult to predict our future performance. Therefore, comparing our operating results on a period-to-period basis may not be meaningful, and you should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance.

Our revenue may fluctuate significantly from period to period due to ordering patterns from our distributors and seasonality.

Demand for our products from our end customers fluctuates depending on their sales outlooks and market and economic conditions. Accordingly, our distributors place purchase orders with us based on their assessment of end customer demand and their forecasts. Because these forecasts may not be accurate, channel inventory held at our distributors may fluctuate significantly due to the difference between the forecasts and actual demand. As a result, distributors adjust their purchase orders placed with us in response to changing channel inventory levels, as well as their assessment of the latest market demand trends. A significant decrease in our distributors’ channel inventory in one period may lead to a significant rebuilding of channel inventory in subsequent periods, or vice versa, which may cause our quarterly revenue and operating results to fluctuate significantly.

In addition, because our power semiconductors are used in consumer electronics products, our revenue is subject to seasonality. Typically in the past, we have experienced sales peaks two to three months ahead of major holidays such as Christmas and the Lunar New Year. However, this seasonal factor has been in the past, and may in the future be, partially offset by revenue generated from new products or changes in distributor ordering patterns in response to channel inventory adjustments. As a result, our revenue and operating results may fluctuate significantly from quarter to quarter.

If we are unable to introduce or develop new and enhanced products that meet our customers’ specifications in a timely manner, our operating results and competitive position would be harmed.

Our future success will depend on our ability to continue to introduce, develop and distribute new products and product enhancements that meet the specifications of our customers in a timely and cost-effective manner. Our customers are mainly ODMs and OEMs who are focused on reducing their number of vendors that they use. As a result, our ability to introduce new products rapidly and to maintain an extensive product portfolio is critical to developing and maintaining successful customer relationships. The development of our products is highly complex and our products must conform to the specifications or standards of our customers. We have, at times, experienced delays in completing the development and introduction of new products and product enhancements. Successful product development and customer acceptance of our products depend on a number of factors, including:

Table of Contents

We cannot guarantee that products which we recently developed or may develop in the future will meet customers’ specifications on a timely basis or at all, and our failure to do so will adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We may not win sufficient designs, or our design wins may not generate sufficient revenue for us to maintain or expand our business.

We invest significant resources to compete with other power semiconductor companies to obtain winning competitive bids for our products in selection processes, known as “design wins.” Our effort to obtain design wins may detract us from or delay completion of other important development projects, impair our relationships with existing end customers and negatively impact sales of products under development. In addition, we cannot assure you that these efforts would result in a design win, that our product would be incorporated into an end customer’s initial product design, or that any such design win would lead to production orders and generate sufficient revenue. Furthermore, even after we have qualified our products with a customer and made sales, subsequent changes to our products, manufacturing processes or suppliers may require a new qualification process, which may result in delay and excess inventory. If we cannot achieve sufficient design wins in the future, or if we fail to generate production orders following design wins, our ability to grow our business will be harmed.

We have material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. If we fail to establish and maintain an effective system of internal control, we may not be able to accurately report our financial results and prevent fraud, which could adversely affect our share price and investor confidence in our financial results.

Prior to completion of this offering, we have been a private company with limited accounting personnel and other resources to address our internal control over financial reporting. This lack of adequate accounting resources contributed to audit adjustments to our financial statements in the past. In connection with the audit of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009, our independent registered public accounting firm identified and communicated to us material weaknesses, including a material weakness related to our failure to maintain a sufficient number of personnel with an appropriate level of knowledge, experience and training in the application of IFRS necessary to satisfy our financial reporting requirements. This material weakness contributed to multiple audit adjustments and the restatement of our financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2008, and also contributed to the following individual material weaknesses:

11

Table of Contents

Each of the material weaknesses described above could result in a misstatement of our accounts or disclosures that would result in a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected.

We are in the process of implementing measures designed to improve our internal control over financial reporting to remediate these material weaknesses. We have hired a senior accounting manager with experience in public and industry accounting, including SEC reporting. We believe that this additional resource will enable us to broaden the scope and quality of our internal review of underlying information related to our period-end closing process, to further enhance our financial review procedures and to analyze and monitor financial information in a more consistent and thorough manner. We have also hired an internal control manager and an outside consulting firm to help us comply with internal control requirements. In addition:

We cannot assure you that the measures we have taken to date, or any measures we may take in the future, will be sufficient to remediate the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting or to avoid potential future material weaknesses.

In addition, as a U.S.-listed public company, we will be subject to reporting obligations under the United States securities laws, including Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, which will require us to include a management report assessing the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting in our annual reports. Our independent registered public accounting firm must audit and report on the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. These requirements relating to internal control will first apply to our annual report for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2011.

Our management may conclude that our internal control over financial reporting is not effective. Moreover, even if our management concludes that our internal control over financial reporting is effective, our independent registered public accounting firm may decline to issue an opinion as to the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting, or may issue a report that is qualified or adverse. During the course of the initial evaluation of internal control over financial reporting, we or our independent registered public accounting firm may identify control deficiencies that we may not be able to remediate prior to the date of our first assessment of internal control over financial reporting. Our failure to achieve and maintain effective internal control over financial reporting could result in the loss of investor confidence in the reliability of our financial statements, which in turn could harm our business and negatively impact the trading price of our shares.

Our success depends upon the ability of our OEM end customers to successfully sell products incorporating our products.

The consumer end markets in which our products are used are highly competitive. Our OEM end customers may not successfully sell their products for a variety of reasons, including:

12

Table of Contents

Because our success depends on the ability of our OEM end customers to sell products incorporating our products, the failure of our OEM end customers to achieve or maintain commercial success for any reason could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Defects and poor performance in our products could result in loss of customers, decreased revenue, unexpected expenses and loss of market share, and we may face warranty and product liability claims arising from defective products.

Our products are complex and must meet stringent quality requirements. Products as complex as ours may contain undetected errors or defects, especially when first introduced or when new versions are released. Errors, defects or poor performance can arise due to design flaws, defects in raw materials or components or manufacturing difficulties, which can affect both the quality and the yield of the product. It can also be potentially dangerous as defective power components may lead to power overloads, which could result in explosion or fire. As our products become more complex, we face higher risk of undetected defects, because our testing protocols may not be able to fully test the products under all possible operating conditions. In the past, we have experienced defects in our products due to certain errors in the packaging process, and these products were returned to us and subsequently sold at a discount. Any actual or perceived errors, defects or poor performance in our products could result in the replacement or recall of our products, shipment delays, rejection of our products, damage to our reputation, lost revenue, diversion of our engineering personnel from our product development efforts in order to address or remedy any defects and increases in customer service and support costs, all of which could have a material adverse effect on our business and operations.

Furthermore, defective, inefficient or poorly performing power components may give rise to warranty and product liability claims against us that exceed any revenue or profit we receive from the affected products. We could incur significant costs and liabilities if we are sued and if damages are awarded against us. There is no guarantee that our insurance policies will be available or adequate to protect against such claims. Costs or payments we may make in connection with warranty and product liability claims or product recalls may adversely affect our financial condition and results of operations.

Our business was and may continue to be adversely affected by the recent economic downturn and financial crisis.

Since 2008, the global economy has experienced significant financial turmoil and upheaval characterized by volatility and declines in prices of securities and commodities, diminished credit availability, declining consumer and business confidence, inability to access capital markets, proliferation of bankruptcies and rising unemployment rates. The global economic downturn and financial crisis has negatively impacted our business, resulting in a decrease in

our revenue in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2009 to $185.1 million from $248.0 million in the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008. It is uncertain how long the economic recession will continue and how much adverse impact it will have on the global economy in general and, in particular, on the economies in China, Taiwan and other countries where we market and sell our products. Uncertain economic conditions may cause our customers to reduce demand for our products, which would adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.

If we do not forecast demand for our products accurately, we may experience product shortages, delays in product shipment, excess product inventory, or difficulties in planning expenses, which will adversely affect our business and financial condition.

We manufacture our products according to our estimates of customer demand. This process requires us to make multiple forecasts and assumptions relating to the demand of our end customers and general market conditions. Because we sell most of our products to distributors, who in turn sell to our end customers, we have limited visibility as to end customer demand. Furthermore, we do not have long-term purchase commitments from our distributors or end customers, and our sales are generally made by purchase orders that may be cancelled, changed or deferred without notice to us or penalty. As a result, it is difficult to forecast future customer demand to plan our operations.

If we overestimate demand for our products, or if purchase orders are cancelled or shipments delayed, we may have excess inventory that we cannot sell. Our provisions for write-downs of inventories were $0.9 million, $2.6 million, $0.6 million and $0.1 million for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2008, 2009 and the six months ended December 31, 2009, respectively. Our provisions for inventory write-downs are estimates and are subject to adjustment based on events that may not be known at the time the provisions are made, and such adjustments could be material. We expect to record inventory write downs in the future in the normal course of our business. Conversely, if we underestimate demand, we may not have sufficient inventory to meet end-customer demand, and we may lose market share and damage relationships with our distributors and end customers and we may have to forego potential revenue opportunities. Obtaining additional supply in the face of product shortages may be costly or impossible, particularly in the short term, which could prevent us from fulfilling orders in a timely manner or at all.

In addition, we plan our operating expenses, including research and development expenses, hiring needs and inventory investments, in part on our estimates of customer demand and future revenue. If customer demand or revenue for a particular period is lower than we expect, we may not be able to proportionately reduce our fixed operating expenses for that period, which would harm our operating results for that period.

We face intense competition and may not be able to compete effectively which could reduce our revenue and market share.

The power semiconductor industry is highly competitive and fragmented. If we do not compete successfully against current or potential competitors, our market share and revenue may decline. Our main competitors are primarily headquartered in the United States, Japan, Europe and Taiwan. Our major competitors for our power discretes include Advanced Power Electronics Corp., Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., Infineon Technologies AG, International Rectifier Corporation, Niko Semiconductor Co., Ltd., ON Semiconductor Corporation, Renesas Technology Corp., STMicroelectronics N.V., Toshiba Corporation and Vishay Intertechnology, Inc. Our major competitors for our power ICs include Anpec Electronics

14

Table of Contents

Corporation, Global Mixed-mode Technology Inc., Monolithic Power Systems, Inc., National Semiconductor Corporation, Richtek Technology Corp., Semtech Corporation, Texas Instruments Incorporated and Volterra Semiconductor Corporation. We expect to face competition in the future from our competitors, other manufacturers, designers of semiconductors and start-up semiconductor design companies. Many of our competitors have competitive advantages over us, including:

If we are unable to compete effectively for any of the foregoing or other reasons, our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects will be harmed.

We depend on Shanghai Hua Hong NEC Electronic Company Limited, or HHNEC, and other outside semiconductor foundries to manufacture our products and implement our fabrication processes, and any failure to maintain sufficient foundry capacity could significantly delay our ability to ship our products, damage our relationships with customers, reduce our sales and increase expenses.

We do not own or operate any fabrication facilities and instead outsource fabrication of our products to independent foundries. Although we use several independent foundries, we primarily rely on HHNEC to manufacture the majority of our products. HHNEC manufactured 88.7%, 72.4%, 61.8% and 75.5% of the wafers used in our products for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2008, 2009 and the six months ended December 31, 2009, respectively.

We place our purchase orders with foundries based on sales forecasts for our products. If any third-party foundry does not provide competitive pricing or is not able to meet our required capacity for any reason, or if our business relationship with HHNEC deteriorates, we may not be able to obtain the required capacity and would have to seek alternative foundries, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. The process for qualifying a new foundry is time consuming, difficult and may not be successful, particularly if we cannot integrate our proprietary process technology with the process used by the new foundry. Using a foundry with which we have no established relationship could expose us to potentially unfavorable pricing, unsatisfactory quality or insufficient capacity allocation.

In addition, we rely on third-party foundries to effectively implement our proprietary technology and processes and also require their cooperation in developing new fabrication

processes. Any failure to do so will severely impair our ability to introduce new products. In order to maintain our profit margins and to meet our customer demand, we need to achieve acceptable production yields and timely delivery of silicon wafers. As is common in the semiconductor industry, we have experienced, and may experience from time to time, difficulties achieving acceptable production yields and timely delivery from third-party foundry vendors. Minute impurities in a silicon wafer can cause a substantial number of wafers to be rejected or cause numerous dice on a wafer to be defective. Low yields often occur during the production of new products, the migration of processes to smaller geometries or the installation and start up of new process technologies.

We face a number of other significant risks associated with outsourcing fabrication, including:

Any of the foregoing risks could delay shipment of our products, result in higher expenses and reduced revenue, damage our relationships with customers and otherwise adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our investment in an in-house packaging and testing facility and our operation of that facility are subject to risks that could adversely affect our business and operating results.

We have established an in-house packaging and testing facility that currently handles approximately 30% of our packaging and testing requirements. The operation of a high-volume packaging and testing facility 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 facility operates efficiently and successfully, including the acquisition of equipment and raw materials, and training and management of a large number of technical personnel and employees. We intend to invest a portion of the net proceeds received by us from this offering in our in-house packaging and testing facility. See “Use of Proceeds.” We may not be able to achieve adequate returns on our investment in our in-house packaging and testing facility, and if we are unable to utilize our in-house facility at a desirable level of production, our gross margin and results of operations may be adversely affected. In addition, the operation of our packaging and testing facility is subject to a number of risks, including the following:

16

Table of Contents

Any of the foregoing risks could adversely affect our capacity to package and test our products, which could delay shipment of our products, result in higher expenses, reduce revenue, damage our relationships with customers and otherwise adversely affect our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We depend partly on the packaging and testing services of APM, and loss of its services could significantly disrupt shipments of our products, harm our customer relationships and reduce our sales, and a reduction in APM’s profit could affect our results of operations.

In addition to our in-house packaging and testing facility, we rely partly on third-party service providers for our packaging and testing requirements. We typically procure services from our packaging and testing service providers on a per-order basis and do not have long-term agreements with our service providers that guarantee us access to capacity. During the six months ended December 31, 2009, we relied on APM for approximately 66% of our total volume of packaging and testing requirements.

If we were to terminate our relationship with APM or were otherwise unable to use our in-house packaging and testing facility to meet our needs, we would need to seek alternative packaging and testing services, which may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all, or which may expose us to risks associated with qualifying new packaging and testing service providers. Because of the amount of time that it takes us to qualify third-party packaging and testing service providers, we could experience significant delays in product shipments if we are required to find alternative packaging and testing service providers on short notice or replace in a timely manner any loss of third-party capacity with our in-house packaging and testing facility. In addition, new service providers may require us to pay higher packaging and testing costs, which may have an adverse impact on our results of operations.

Our reliance on APM is subject to the same risks as those described above relating to the operation of our in-house packaging and testing facility, plus a number of additional risks, including:

In addition, as of December 31, 2009, we held a 40.3% equity stake and two of our executive officers collectively held a 2.8% equity stake in APM. Our investment in APM is accounted for under the equity method of accounting and, accordingly, our share of profit and loss from APM will affect our results of operations. We have determined that we have a material weakness in

17

Table of Contents

our internal control over financial reporting related to the accounting for our investment in APM. Specifically, we did not perform effective reviews to ensure that earnings and losses from the equity method investment were completely and accurately recorded, which contributed to the restatement of our financial statements for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007 and 2008 included in this prospectus. Conflicts of interest could arise relating to the nature, quality and pricing of services provided by APM to us, the allocation of corporate opportunities and production volume. Since we are the principal customer of APM, if we do not allocate enough production volume to APM and if it fails to diversify its customer base, the financial performance of APM will be adversely affected, which could then in turn adversely affect our results of operations. See “Related Party Transactions—Relationship with APM.”

If we are unable to obtain raw materials in a timely manner or if the price of raw materials increases significantly, production time and product costs could increase, which may adversely affect our business.

Our fabrication and packaging processes depend on raw materials such as silicon wafers, gold, copper, mold compound, petroleum and plastic materials and various chemicals and gases. From time to time, suppliers may extend lead times, limit supplies or increase prices due to capacity constraints or other factors. If the prices of these raw materials rise significantly, we may be unable to pass on the increased cost to our customers. Our results of operations could be adversely affected if we are unable to obtain adequate supplies of raw materials in a timely manner or at reasonable cost. In addition, from time to time, we may need to reject raw materials that do not meet our specifications, resulting in potential delays or declines in output. Furthermore, problems with our raw materials may give rise to compatibility or performance issues in our products, which could lead to an increase in customer returns or product warranty claims. Errors or defects may arise from raw materials supplied by third parties that are beyond our detection or control, which could lead to additional customer returns or product warranty claims that may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Our operations may be delayed or interrupted and our business may be adversely affected as a result of our efforts to comply with environmental regulations applicable to our in-house packaging and testing facility.

Our in-house packaging and testing facility is subject to a variety of environmental regulations relating to the use, discharge and disposal of toxic or otherwise hazardous materials. See “Regulation—Environmental regulations.” Compliance with environmental regulations could require us to acquire expensive pollution control equipment or to incur other substantial expenses or investigate and remediate contamination at our current facility. Any failure, or any claim that we have failed, to comply with these regulations could cause delays in our production and capacity expansion and affect our public image, either of which could harm our business. In addition, any failure to comply with these regulations could subject us to substantial fines or other liabilities, result in the suspension of our operating permit, or require us to terminate or adversely modify our in-house packaging and testing operations.

Our reliance on distributors to sell substantially all of our products subjects us to a number of risks.

We sell substantially all 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, Frontek Technology Co., or Frontek, and Promate Co. Ltd., or Promate, collectively accounted for

18

Table of Contents

67.5%, 77.4%, 76.1% and 76.4% of our revenue for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2008, 2009 and for the six months ended December 31, 2009, respectively. Our agreements with Frontek and Promate have five year terms and are scheduled to expire in August and September 2010, respectively. We intend to renew these agreements prior to their expiration. We believe that our success will continue to depend upon these distributors. Our reliance on distributors subjects us to a number of risks, including:

If any significant distributor becomes unable or unwilling to promote and sell our products, or if we are not able to renew our contracts with the distributors on acceptable terms, we may not be able to find a replacement distributor on reasonable terms or at all and our business could be harmed.

We may not be able to accurately estimate provisions at fiscal period end for price adjustment and stock rotation rights under our agreements with distributors, and our failure to do so may impact our operating results.

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 provisions for price adjustments and stock rotation for our products as inventory on hand at distributors at each fiscal period end. Our ability to reliably estimate these provisions enables us to recognize revenue upon delivery of goods to distributors instead of upon resale of goods by distributors to end customers.

We estimate the provision for price adjustment based on factors such as distributor inventory levels, pre-approved future distributor selling prices, distributor margins and demand for our products. Our estimated liabilities for price adjustments, which we offset against trade receivables from distributors, were $8.8 million, $11.0 million and $11.6 million at June 30, 2008, 2009 and December 31, 2009, respectively.

Our provisions for stock rotation are estimated based on historical returns and individual distributor agreements, and stock rotation rights are contractually capped based on the terms of each individual distributor agreement. Our estimated liabilities for stock rotation at June 30,

19

Table of Contents

2008 and 2009 and December 31, 2009 were $2.0 million, $1.1 million and $1.9 million, respectively.

Our estimates for these provisions may be inaccurate. If we subsequently determine that any provision based on our estimates is insufficient, we may be required to increase the size of our provisions in future periods, which would adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.

We depend on the continuing efforts of our senior management team and other key personnel, and if we lose a member of our senior management or are unable to successfully retain, recruit and train key personnel, our ability to develop and market our products could be harmed.

Our future success depends upon the continuing services of members of our senior management team and various engineering and other technical personnel, including Dr. Mike F. Chang, our founder and Chief Executive Officer. In particular, our engineers and other technical

personnel are critical to our future technological and product innovations. Our industry is characterized by high demand and intense competition for talent and the pool of qualified candidates is limited. Many of these employees could leave our company with little or no prior notice and would be free to work for a competitor. If one or more of our senior executives or other key personnel are unable or unwilling to continue in their present positions, we may not be able to replace them easily or at all and other senior management may be required to divert attention from other aspects of our business. In addition, we do not have “key person” life insurance policies covering any member of our management team or other key personnel. The loss of any of these individuals or our inability to attract or retain qualified personnel, including engineers and others, could adversely affect our product introductions, overall business growth prospects, results of operations and financial condition.

Failure to protect our patents and our other proprietary information could harm our business and competitive position.

Our success depends, in part, on our ability to protect our intellectual property. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright (including mask work protection), trademark and trade secret laws, as well as nondisclosure agreements, license agreements and other methods to protect our intellectual property rights, which may not be sufficient to protect our intellectual property. As of December 31, 2009, we owned 89 issued U.S. patents expiring between 2015 and 2028 and had 153 pending patent applications with the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In addition, we own additional patents and have filed patent applications in jurisdictions outside of the U.S.

Our patents and patent applications may not provide meaningful protection from our competitors, and there is no guarantee that patents will be issued from our patent applications. The status of any patent or patent application involves complex legal and factual determinations and the breadth of a claim is uncertain. In addition, our efforts to protect our intellectual property may not succeed due to difficulties and risks associated with:

20

Table of Contents

We also rely on customary contractual protections with our customers, suppliers, distributors, employees and consultants, and we implement security measures to protect our trade secrets. We cannot assure you that these contractual protections and security measures will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any such breach or that our suppliers, employees or consultants will not assert rights to intellectual property arising out of such contracts.

In addition, we have a number of third-party patent and intellectual property license agreements, one of which requires to make ongoing royalty payments. In the future, we may need to obtain additional licenses, renew existing license agreements or otherwise replace existing technology. We are unable to predict whether these license agreements can be obtained or renewed or the technology can be replaced on acceptable terms, or at all.

Intellectual property disputes could result in lengthy and costly arbitration, litigation or licensing expenses or prevent us from selling our products.

As is typical in the semiconductor industry, we or our customers may receive claims of infringement from time to time or otherwise become aware of potentially relevant patents or other intellectual property rights held by other parties that may cover some of our technology, products and services or those of our end customers. The semiconductor industry is characterized by vigorous protection and pursuit of intellectual property rights which has resulted in protracted and expensive arbitration and litigation for many companies. Patent litigation has increased in recent years owing to increased assertions made by intellectual property licensing entities and increasing competition and overlap of product functionality in our markets.

Any litigation or arbitration regarding patents or other intellectual property could be costly and time consuming and could divert our management and key personnel from our business operations. We have in the past and may from time to time in the future become involved in litigation that requires our management to commit significant resources and time. For example, in 2007, we commenced a patent litigation with Fairchild Semiconductor International, Inc., or Fairchild, in which we filed infringement claims against Fairchild, and Fairchild responded by filing infringement counterclaims against us. The litigation was vigorously prosecuted by both parties and diverted the efforts and attention of our management and technical personnel before it was settled in October 2008. The settlement included a cross-license agreement between the parties. In December 2006, we initiated an arbitration proceeding against Siliconix incorporated, or Siliconix, to recover certain quarterly royalty payments under our agreement with Siliconix, and Siliconix responded by filing a counterclaim against us for royalty payments under the agreement. The arbitration proceeding was settled in 2008. We incurred a total of $8.2 million of legal costs relating to these two intellectual property disputes. Because of the

21

Table of Contents

complexity of the technology involved and the uncertainty of litigation generally, any intellectual property arbitration or litigation involves significant risks. Any claim of intellectual property infringement against us may require us to:

Any intellectual property claim or litigation could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

We may not be able to achieve successful integration following an acquisition or strategic alliance, and we may be required to incur debt or assume contingent liabilities or dilute our shareholders in the pursuit of acquisitions or alliances.

Although we have not currently identified any specific acquisition or investment targets, we may in the future acquire, invest in, or enter into strategic alliances relating to other businesses, products or technologies. Successful acquisitions and alliances in the semiconductor industry are difficult to accomplish because they require, among other things, efficient integration and alignment of product offerings and manufacturing operations, coordination of selling and marketing and research and development efforts. 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 disparate business backgrounds and combining different corporate cultures. This process requires the dedication of management resources that may distract attention from day-to-day operations, and may disrupt key research and development, marketing or sales efforts, which may adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition and prospects. In addition, we may issue equity securities to pay for future acquisitions or alliances, which could be dilutive to existing shareholders. We may also incur debt or assume contingent liabilities in connection with acquisitions and alliances, which could impose restrictions on our business operations and harm our operating results.

Global or regional political and social conditions could adversely affect our business and operating results.

External factors such as geopolitical and social turmoil, terrorist attacks and acts of war in those parts of the world that serve as markets for our products, such as the United States, China, Taiwan or elsewhere could significantly adversely affect our business and operating results in ways that cannot be predicted. Geopolitical strife such as the deterioration of political or economic relationships between Taiwan and China may affect our ability to operate our business in the region. These uncertainties could make it difficult for our customers and us to

22

Table of Contents

accurately plan future business activities. The occurrence of any of these events or circumstances could adversely affect our business and operating results.

Our business operations could be significantly harmed by natural disasters or global epidemics.

We have research and development facilities located in Taiwan and Sunnyvale, California which could suffer significant business disruption due to earthquakes. We are not currently covered by insurance against business disruption caused by earthquakes.

Our business could be adversely affected by epidemics or outbreaks such as avian flu or H1N1 flu, also known as swine flu. An outbreak of avian flu or H1N1 flu in the human population, or another similar health crisis, could adversely affect the economies and financial markets of many countries, particularly in Asia. Moreover, any related disruptions to transportation or the free movement of persons could hamper our operations and force us to close our offices temporarily.

The occurrence of any of the foregoing or other natural or man-made disasters could cause damage or disruption to us, our employees, operations, distribution channels, markets and customers, which could result in significant delays in deliveries or substantial shortages of our products and adversely affect our business results of operations, financial condition or prospects.

Our insurance may not cover all losses, including losses resulting from business disruption or product liability claims.

We have limited product liability, business disruption or other business insurance coverage for our operations. In addition, we do not have any business insurance coverage for our operations to cover losses that may be caused by litigation or natural disasters. Any occurrence of uncovered loss could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Our international operations subject our company to risks not faced by companies without international operations.

We have adopted a transnational business model under which we maintain significant operations and facilities through our subsidiaries located in the U.S., China, Taiwan and Hong Kong. Our main research and development center is located in Silicon Valley, and our manufacturing and supply chain is located in China. We also have sales offices and customers throughout Asia, the U.S. and elsewhere in the world. The following are some of the risks inherent in doing business on an international level that may not be applicable to domestic companies:

23

We are subject to the risk of increased income taxes and changes in existing tax rules.

We conduct our business in multiple jurisdictions, including Hong Kong, Macau, the U.S., the PRC, Taiwan, Korea, Japan and Singapore. Any of these jurisdictions may assert that we have unpaid taxes. Our effective tax rates have fluctuated significantly in recent years. Our effective tax rate was (3.5%), (6.2%), 24.3% and 3.3% for the fiscal years ended June 30, 2007, 2008, 2009 and for the six months ended December 31, 2009, respectively. We base our tax position upon the anticipated nature and conduct of our business and upon our understanding of the tax laws of the various countries in which we have assets or conduct activities. However, our tax position is subject to review and possible challenge by tax authorities and to possible changes in law, which may have a retroactive effect. In particular, various proposals over the years have been made to change certain U.S. tax laws relating to foreign entities with U.S. connections. For example, legislation has been proposed that would require treating certain foreign corporations as U.S. domestic corporations (and therefore taxable in the U.S. on all of their worldwide income) if the management and control of the foreign corporation occurs, directly or indirectly, primarily within the United States. In addition, the U.S. government has proposed various other changes to the U.S. international tax system, certain of which could adversely impact foreign-based multinational corporate groups, and increased enforcement of U.S. international tax laws. Although none of these proposed U.S. tax law changes has yet been enacted, and none may ever be enacted in its current form, it is possible that these or other changes in the U.S. tax laws could significantly increase our U.S. income tax liability in the future.

In addition, our subsidiaries provide products and services to, and may from time to time undertake certain significant transactions with, us and other subsidiaries in different jurisdictions. We have adopted transfer pricing arrangements for transactions among our subsidiaries. Related party transactions are generally subject to close review by tax authorities, including requirements that transactions be priced at arm’s length and be adequately documented. We have not been subject to any tax audit or challenge by any tax authorities with respect to any tax position taken during the past three fiscal years. If any of these tax authorities were successful in challenging our transfer pricing policies or other tax judgments, our income tax expense may be adversely affected and we could also be subject to interest and penalty charges which may harm our business, financial condition and operating results.

The imposition of U.S. corporate income tax on us or our non-U.S. subsidiaries could adversely affect our results of operations.

We believe that we and our non-U.S. subsidiaries each operate in a manner that would not subject us to U.S. corporate income tax because we are not engaged in a trade or business in the United States. Nevertheless, there is a risk that the U.S. Internal Revenue Service may successfully assert that we or our non-U.S. subsidiaries are engaged in a trade or business in the United States. If we or our non-U.S. subsidiaries were characterized as being so engaged, we would be subject to U.S. tax at regular corporate rates on our income that is effectively connected with U.S. trade or business, plus an additional 30% “branch profits” tax on the dividend equivalent amount, which is generally effectively connected income with certain adjustments, deemed withdrawn from the United States. Any such tax could materially and adversely affect our results of operations.

We may be classified as a passive foreign investment company, which could result in adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences for U.S. holders.

Based on the assumed initial public offering price of our common shares in this offering, the expected price of our common shares following the offering and the composition of our

24

Table of Contents

income and assets, we do not expect to be considered a passive foreign investment company, or PFIC, for U.S. federal income tax purposes for our 2010 taxable year. However, we must make a separate determination for each taxable year as to whether we are a PFIC after the close of each taxable year and we cannot assure you that we will not be a PFIC for our 2010 taxable year or any future taxable year. Under current law, a non-U.S. corporation will be considered a PFIC for any taxable year if either (1) at least 75% of its gross income is passive income or (2) at least 50% of the value of its assets, generally based on an average of the quarterly values of the assets during a taxable year, is attributable to assets that produce or are held for the production of passive income. PFIC status depends on the composition of our assets and income and the value of our assets, including, among others, a pro rata portion of the income and assets of each subsidiary in which we own, directly or indirectly, at least 25% by value of the subsidiary’s equity interests, from time to time. Because we currently hold, and expect to continue to hold following this offering, a substantial amount of cash or cash equivalents, and because the calculation of the value of our assets may be based in part on the value of our common shares, which may fluctuate after this offering and may fluctuate considerably given that market prices of technology companies historically often have been volatile, we may be a PFIC for any taxable year. If we were treated as a PFIC for any taxable year during which a U.S. holder held common shares, certain adverse U.S. federal income tax consequences could apply for such U.S. holder. See “Taxation—Material U.S. federal income tax considerations—Investment in passive foreign investment companies.”

Risks Related to Our Industry

The average selling prices of products in our markets have historically decreased rapidly and will likely do so in the future, which could harm our revenue and gross margins.

As is typical in the semiconductor industry, the average selling price of a particular product has historically declined significantly over the life of the product. In the past, we have reduced the average selling prices of our products in anticipation of future competitive pricing pressures, new product introductions by us or our competitors and other factors. We expect that we will have to similarly reduce prices in the future for older generations of products. Reductions in our average selling prices to one customer could also impact our average selling prices to all customers. A decline in average selling prices would harm our gross margins for a particular product. If not offset by sales of other products with higher gross margins, our overall gross margins may be adversely affected. Our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects will suffer if we are unable to offset any reductions in our average selling prices by increasing our sales volumes, reducing our costs and developing new or enhanced products on a timely basis with higher selling prices or gross margins.

We may be adversely affected by the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry.

Our industry is highly cyclical and is characterized by constant and rapid technological change, product obsolescence and price erosion, evolving standards, uncertain product life cycles and wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. The industry has, from time to time, experienced significant and sometimes prolonged, downturns, often connected with or in anticipation of, maturing product cycles and declines in general economic conditions. These downturns have been characterized by diminished product demand, production overcapacity, high inventory levels and accelerated erosion of average selling prices. Any future downturns may reduce our revenue and result in us having excess inventory. By contrast, any upturn in the semiconductor industry could result in increased competition for access to limited third-party foundry and packaging and testing capacity, which could prevent us from benefiting from such an upturn or reduce our profit margins.

Changes in industry standards, technology, customer requirements and government regulation could limit our ability to sell our products.

The semiconductor industry is characterized by changing demand for new and advanced functions, long design and sales cycles, rapid product obsolescence and price erosion, intense competition, evolving industry standards and wide fluctuations in product supply and demand. Changes in industry standards, or the development of new industry standards, or, when applicable, government approval or disapproval of industry standards may make our products obsolete or negate the cost advantages we believe we have in our products. We may be required to invest significant effort and to incur significant expense to redesign our products in order to address relevant standards, technological developments, customer requirements or regulations but may not have the financial resources to respond to these changes effectively or in a timely manner. Any inability to meet these standards, regulations and requirements could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

Risks Related to Doing Business in China

China’s economic, political and social conditions, as well as government policies, could affect our business and growth.

Our financial results have been, and are expected to continue to be, affected by the economy in China. A slowdown of economic growth in China or other adverse developments could harm our business, results of operations, financial condition and prospects.

The PRC economy differs from the economies of most developed countries in many respects, including:

The Chinese economy has been transitioning from a planned economy to a more market-oriented economy. Although in recent years the PRC 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 PRC government continues to retain significant control over the business and productive assets in China. Any changes in PRC government policy or the PRC’s political, economic and social conditions, or in relevant laws and regulations, may adversely affect our current or future business, results of operation 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, changes in the tax rate or taxation system and the imposition of additional restrictions on currency conversion and imports. Furthermore, given the PRC’s largely export-driven economy, any changes in the economies of the PRC’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. From late 2003 to mid-2008, the PRC government implemented a number of

26

Table of Contents

measures that had the effect of slowing the growth of credit, which in turn may have slowed the growth of the Chinese economy. In response to the recent global and Chinese economic recession, the PRC 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 PRC government to guide economic growth will be effective in maintaining or sustaining the growth rate of the Chinese economy. If measures adopted by the PRC government fail to achieve further growth in the Chinese economy, it may adversely affect our growth, business strategies and operating results.

Changes in PRC laws, legal protections or government policies on foreign investment in the PRC may harm our business.

Our business and corporate transactions 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 involves 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. In addition, the PRC 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 some time after the violation. If any of our past operations are deemed to be non-compliant with PRC law, we may be subject to penalties and our business and operations may be adversely affected. For instance, under the catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries, some industries are categorized as sectors which are encouraged, restricted or prohibited for foreign investment. As the catalogue for the Guidance of Foreign Investment Industries is updated every few years, there can be no assurance that the PRC 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 PRC 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.

Failure to comply with PRC regulations regarding the registration requirements for employee share ownership plans or share option plans may subject the PRC plan participants or us to fines and other legal or administrative sanctions.

In December 2006, the People’s Bank of China promulgated the Administrative Measures for Individual Foreign Exchange, which set forth the respective requirements for foreign exchange transactions by PRC individuals under either the current account or the capital account. In January 2007, State Administration for Foreign Exchange, or SAFE, issued the Implementation Rules of the Administrative Measures for Individual Foreign Exchange, which, among other

27

Table of Contents

things, specified approval requirements for certain capital account transactions such as a PRC citizen’s participation in the employee share ownership plans or share option plans of an overseas publicly-listed company. In March 2007, SAFE promulgated the Processing Guidance on Foreign Exchange Administration for Domestic Individuals Participating in Employee Stock Holding Plans or Stock Option Plans of Overseas-Listed Companies, or the Share Option Rule. Under the Share Option Rule, PRC citizens who are granted share options by an overseas publicly-listed company are required, through a qualified PRC domestic agent or PRC subsidiary of such overseas publicly-listed company, to register with SAFE and complete certain other procedures. We and our PRC citizen employees who have been granted share options will be subject to this rule after our initial public offering. However, registration under the Share Option Rule is not available for share options that are exercised by PRC residents before an overseas company is listed on an overseas stock exchange. There is no other statutory mechanism to register or otherwise legalize such pre-listing exercised options. A number of our PRC shareholders obtained our shares by exercising employee share options or purchasing shares from other employees, and they own a total of approximately 0.23% of our shares on an as-converted basis. Those option shares were not acquired in compliance with the SAFE regulations and as a result, may subject us or those PRC shareholders to administrative penalties. Furthermore, if we or our PRC optionees fail to comply with the Share Option Rule or other regulations, we or our PRC optionees may be subject to fines and other legal or administration sanctions, which may adversely affect our business and results of operations.

Limitations on our ability to transfer funds to our PRC subsidiaries could adversely affect our ability to expand our operations, make investments that could benefit our businesses and otherwise fund and conduct our business.

The transfer of funds from us to our PRC subsidiaries, either as a shareholder loan or as an increase in registered capital, is subject to registration with or approval by the PRC governmental authorities, including the SAFE or the relevant examination and approval authority. Our subsidiaries may also experience difficulties in converting our capital contributions made in foreign currencies into RMB due to changes in the PRC’s foreign exchange control policies. Therefore, it may be difficult to change capital expenditure plans once the relevant funds have been remitted from us to our PRC subsidiaries. These limitations and the difficulties our PRC subsidiaries may experience on the free flow of funds between us and our PRC subsidiaries could restrict our ability to act in response to changing market situations in a timely manner.

Controversies affecting China’s trade with the United States could harm our business.

While China has been granted permanent most favored nation trade status in the U.S. through its entry into the World Trade Organization, controversies between the United States and China may arise that threaten the trading relationship between the two countries. At various times during recent years, the United States and China have had disagreements over political and economic issues. 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 or causing a reduction in the demand for our products by customers in the United States or China.

Relations between Taiwan and China could negatively affect our business, financial condition and operating results and, therefore, the market value of our common shares.

Taiwan has a unique international political status. China does not recognize the sovereignty of Taiwan. Although significant economic and cultural relations have been established during recent years between Taiwan and China, relations have often been strained. A substantial number of our key customers and some of our essential sales and engineering personnel are located in Taiwan, and we have a large number of operational personnel and employees located in China. Therefore, factors affecting military, political or economic relationship between China and Taiwan could have an adverse effect on our business, financial condition and operating results.

Risks Related to Ownership of Our Common Shares, Our Trading Market and this Offering

There has been no prior market for our shares and this offering may not result in an active or liquid market for our shares, which could adversely affect the market price of our common shares.

Prior to this offering, there has not been a public market for our common shares. We have applied to list our common shares on The NASDAQ Global Market. However, an active public market may not develop or be sustained after this offering. If an active market for our shares does not develop after the offering, the market price and liquidity of our shares may be adversely affected.

The initial public offering price of our common shares may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market, and such market prices may be volatile.

The initial public offering price for our shares has been determined by negotiations between us and the representatives of the underwriters and may not be indicative of prices that will prevail in the trading market. Investors may not be able to resell their shares at or above the initial public offering price. The financial markets in the United States and other countries have experienced significant price and volume fluctuations, and market prices of technology companies have been and continue to be extremely volatile. Volatility in the price of our shares may be caused by factors outside our control and may be unrelated or disproportionate to our operating results.

The market price for our common shares may be volatile and subject to wide fluctuations in response to factors, including:

29

Table of Contents

In the past, securities class action litigation has often been brought against a company following periods of volatility in such company’s share price. This type of litigation could result in substantial costs and divert our management’s attention and resources. These market fluctuations may also materially and adversely affect the market price of our shares.

Substantial future sales or the perception of sales of our shares in the public market could cause the price of our shares to decline.

Prior to our initial public offering, there has not been a public market for our shares. Future sales by us or our existing shareholders of substantial amounts of our shares in the public markets after this offering could adversely affect prevailing market prices for our shares. Only a limited number of our shares currently outstanding will be available for sale immediately after this offering due to contractual and legal restrictions on resale. Nevertheless, after these restrictions lapse or if these restrictions are waived or breached, future sales or the possibility of future sales of substantial amounts of our shares, including shares issued upon exercise of outstanding options, in the public markets in the United States, could negatively impact the market price of our shares and our ability to raise equity capital in the future.

Upon completion of this offering, we will have 22,087,485 common shares outstanding, assuming the underwriters do not exercise the over-allotment option. All shares sold in this offering will be freely transferable without restriction or additional registration under the Securities Act of 1933, or the Securities Act. The remaining common shares outstanding after this offering will be available for sale, upon the expiration of the 180-day lock-up period beginning from the date of this prospectus, subject to volume and other restrictions as applicable under Rule 144 and Rule 701 under the Securities Act. See “Shares Eligible for Future Sale” and “Underwriting” for a detailed description of the lock-up restrictions. Any or all of these shares may be released prior to expiration of the lock-up period at the discretion of the lead underwriter for this offering. To the extent shares are released before the expiration of the lock-up period and these shares are sold into the market, the market price of our common shares could decline.

You may experience immediate and substantial dilution in the net tangible book value of shares purchased.

The initial public offering price per share may be substantially higher than the net tangible book value per share of our common shares prior to this offering. In other words, you are paying a price per share that substantially exceeds the value of our assets after subtracting our liabilities. At an assumed initial public offering price of $18.00 per share, representing the mid-point of the price range shown on the front cover of this prospectus, and based on the pro forma net tangible book value per share of our common shares at December 31, 2009, your shares will be worth $10.59 less per share than you will pay in the offering. Further, investors participating in this offering will contribute approximately 53.9% of the total amount invested by shareholders since our inception but will only own approximately 15.4% of the total shares outstanding immediately after this offering. The exercise of outstanding options will result in further dilution of your investment. See “Dilution.”

30

Table of Contents

We may need additional capital, and the sale of additional common shares or other equity securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders.

We believe that our current cash and cash equivalents, anticipated cash flow from operations and the net proceeds received by us from this offering will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for at least the next twelve months. We may, however, require additional cash resources due to changed business conditions or other future developments, including any investments or acquisitions we may decide to pursue. If our resources are insufficient to satisfy our cash requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain a credit facility. The sale of additional equity securities could result in additional dilution to our shareholders. The incurrence of indebtedness would result in increased debt service obligations and could result in operating and financing covenants that would restrict our operations. We cannot assure you that financing will be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us, if at all.

We are a Bermuda company and it may be difficult for you to enforce judgments against us or our directors and executive officers.

We are a Bermuda limited liability exempted company. As a result, the rights of holders of our common shares will be governed by Bermuda law and our memorandum of association and bye-laws. The rights of shareholders under Bermuda law may differ from the rights of shareholders of companies incorporated in other jurisdictions, including the U.S. For more information about the differences between the Bermuda Companies Act and the Delaware General Corporation Law, see “Description of Share Capital.” Some of our directors are not residents of the United States, and a substantial portion of our assets are located outside the United States. As a result, it may be difficult for investors to effect service of process on those persons in the U.S. or to enforce in the U.S. judgments obtained in U.S. courts against us or those persons based on civil liability provisions of the U.S. securities laws. It is doubtful whether courts in Bermuda will enforce judgments obtained in other jurisdictions, including the U.S., against us or our directors or officers under the securities laws of those jurisdictions or entertain actions in Bermuda against us or our directors or officers under the securities laws of other jurisdictions.

Because we are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, we are exempt from certain rules and regulations applicable to United States domestic public companies, and we are not required to provide our investors with the same level of disclosure that domestic public companies are required to provide.

We are a foreign private issuer within the meaning of the rules under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, or the Exchange Act. As such, we are exempt from certain provisions applicable to United States domestic public companies. For example:

31

Table of Contents

As a result, shareholders may not have access to information they may deem important and we will not be under any obligation to provide such information.

If we lose our status as a foreign private issuer, we may incur additional legal, accounting or other expenses to transition our financial reporting system to U.S. GAAP, which differs in certain significant respect from IFRS, and to provide additional disclosures required of domestic public companies.

Currently we report our financial statements under IFRS. If we were to lose our status as a foreign private issuer, we will be required under current rules of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, or the SEC, to report our financial statements under U.S. GAAP in our future SEC filings. The transition from IFRS to U.S. GAAP would require us to invest a substantial amount of resources and time, and we would be required to convert historical financial statements prepared under IFRS from prior fiscal years into U.S. GAAP financial statements included in our SEC filings. We expect that we would incur additional and significant legal, accounting and other expenses in connection with this transition, which may negatively impact our results of operations. Furthermore, there is no guarantee that we would be able to complete the timely transition to U.S. GAAP in order to meet our disclosure obligations under the Exchange Act, and failure to do so could result in delayed reporting, delisting and otherwise adversely affect our business and operating results.

In addition, there have been and there may in the future be certain significant differences between U.S. GAAP and IFRS, including differences related to revenue recognition, share-based compensation expense, income tax and the accounting for preferred shares and earnings per share. As a result, our financial information and reported earnings for future periods within a fiscal year or any interim period could be significantly different if they were prepared in accordance with U.S. GAAP. In addition, we do not intend to provide a reconciliation between IFRS and U.S. GAAP unless it is required under applicable law. Consequently, the transition to U.S. GAAP may have a material impact on our profit margin, and you may not be able to meaningfully compare our financial statements under U.S. GAAP with our historical financial statements under IFRS.

If we lose our status as a foreign private issuer, we will be required to provide significantly more information to our investors and will likely incur additional and significant legal, accounting and other expenses associated with compiling and reporting this information, which may adversely affect our results of operations.

Being a U.S.-listed public company will increase our administrative costs and divert management’s attention.

As a U.S.-listed public company, we will incur significant legal, accounting and other expenses that we did not incur as a private company. In addition, the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, as amended, or the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, as well as new rules subsequently implemented by the SEC, has required changes in corporate governance practices of public companies. In addition to final rules and rule proposals already made by the SEC, The NASDAQ Stock Market has revised and may continue to update its requirements for listed companies. We expect these new rules and regulations, including those under Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act relating to internal control over financial reporting, to increase our legal and financial compliance costs

32

Table of Contents

and to make some activities more time consuming and costly. In anticipation of becoming a public company, we have created board committees, and will adopt additional internal controls and disclosure controls and procedures, hire additional accounting and finance personnel, and have to bear additional costs associated with preparing and distributing periodic public reports. These rules and regulations could increase our administrative costs and divert our management’s attention, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition or results of operations.

Anti-takeover provisions in our bye-laws could make an acquisition of us, which may be beneficial to our shareholders, more difficult and may prevent attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management.

Provisions in our bye-laws that will become effective immediately prior to the closing of this offering may delay or prevent an acquisition of us or a change in our management. In addition, by making it more difficult for shareholders to replace members of our board of directors, these provisions also may frustrate or prevent any attempts by our shareholders to replace or remove our current management because our board of directors is responsible for appointing the members of our management team. These provisions include:

These provisions could make it more difficult for a third party to acquire us, even if the third party’s offer may be considered beneficial by many shareholders. As a result, shareholders may be limited in their ability to obtain a premium for their shares.

Insiders will continue to have substantial control over us after this offering, which could adversely affect the market price of our shares.

Upon the completion of this offering, our Chief Executive Officer, certain members of our management and directors and their respective affiliates, will beneficially own, in the aggregate, approximately 22% of our outstanding common shares. As a result, these shareholders will be able to exert significant control over all matters requiring shareholder approval, including the election of directors and approval of significant corporate transactions, such as a merger, consolidation, takeover or other business combination involving us. This concentration of ownership may also discourage, delay or prevent a change in control of our company, which could deprive our shareholders of an opportunity to receive a premium for their shares as part of a sale of our company and may reduce the trading price of our shares. Furthermore, the interests of these insiders could conflict with the interests of our other shareholders and, accordingly, any of them may take actions that favor their own interests and which may not be in the best interests of our other shareholders. These actions may be taken even if they are opposed by our other shareholders, including those who purchase shares in this offering.

33

Table of Contents

If securities or industry analysts do not publish research or reports about our business, or if they adversely change their recommendations with respect to our shares, our share price and trading volume could decline.

The trading market for our shares will depend, in part, on the research and reports that industry or securities analysts publish about us or our business. We do not have any control over these analysts. If one or more analysts downgrade their outlook for our company or our industry, our share price would likely decline. If one or more of these analysts cease coverage of our company or fail to regularly publish reports on us, we could lose visibility in the financial markets, which in turn could cause our share price or trading volume to decline.

Our management has broad discretion to determine how to use the funds raised in this offering and may use them in ways that may not enhance our operating results or the price of our shares.

We intend to use the net proceeds received by us from this offering for investment in our in-house packaging and testing facility, working capital and other general corporate purposes. See “Use of Proceeds.” In addition, we may choose to expand our current business through acquisitions of other businesses, products or technologies. However, we do not have agreements or commitments for any specific acquisitions at this time. The amounts and timing of any expenditures will vary depending on the amount of cash generated by our operations, competitive and technological developments and the rate of growth, if any, of our business.

Our management will have significant discretion as to the use of the net proceeds received by us from this offering and could use the proceeds in ways that may not improve our operating results or enhance the price of our shares. In addition, these proceeds may not be invested in a manner that yields a favorable rate of return.
