The Company and Its Significant Accounting Policies
The Company and Its Significant Accounting Policies
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 portable computers, flat panel TVs, smart phones, battery packs, portable media players, UPS, motor control and power supplies. The Company conducts its operations primarily in the United States of America (“USA”), Hong Kong, Macau, 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. 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 year ended June 30, 2011. 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 period presented have been included in the interim period. Operating results for the three and the nine months ended March 31, 2012 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending June 30, 2012. The condensed consolidated balance sheet at June 30, 2011 is derived from the audited financial statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2011.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of our 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 consolidated financial statements will be affected. On an ongoing basis, the Company evaluates the estimates, judgments and assumptions including those related to revenue recognition, inventory reserves, warranty reserve, income taxes, share-based compensation and useful lives for property and equipment and for intangible assets.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The fair values of the Company's cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable, accrued liabilities and short term bank borrowings approximate their carrying values due to their short-term maturities. The fair value of the Company’s capital lease obligations approximate the carrying value due to the short-term maturity of the leases.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2011 the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued the Accounting Standards Update or ASU, 2011-12, Deferral of the Effective Date for Amendments to the Presentation of Reclassifications of Items Out of Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income in Accounting Standards Update No. 2011-05 that deferred the effective date for amendments to the presentation of reclassifications of items out of other comprehensive income. ASU 2011-12 was issued to allow the FASB time to redeliberate the presentation requirements for reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income for annual and interim financial statements for public, private, and non-profit entities. During the redeliberation period, entities will continue to report reclassifications out of accumulated other comprehensive income using guidance in effect before ASU 2011-05 was issued. ASU 2011-05 is to be applied retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011. The Company does not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a material effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In September 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that allows entities to first assess qualitatively whether it is necessary to perform the two-step goodwill impairment test. If any entity believes, as a result of its qualitative assessment, that it is more likely than not that the fair value of a reporting unit is less than its carrying amount, the quantitative two-step goodwill impairment test is required. An entity has the unconditional option to bypass the qualitative assessment and proceed directly to performing the first step of the goodwill impairment test. The guidance is effective for annual and interim goodwill impairment tests performed for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2011, with early adoption permitted. The Company does not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2011, the FASB issued authoritative guidance that amends the presentation requirements for comprehensive income in financial statements. The guidance requires entities to report components of comprehensive income either as part of a single continuous statement of comprehensive income that would combine the components of net income and other comprehensive income, or in a separate, but consecutive, statement following the statement of income. The guidance is effective for fiscal years, and interim periods within those fiscal years, beginning after December 15, 2011 and is to be applied retrospectively. The Company does not expect the adoption of these provisions to have a significant effect on its consolidated financial statements.
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
Concentration of Credit Risk and Significant Customers
The Company manages its credit risk associated with exposure to distributors and direct customers on outstanding trade receivables through the application 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 policy, while sales to new customers or customers with low credit ratings are usually made on an advance payment basis. The Company's management considers the Company's financial assets 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 bad debt write-offs of trade receivables in the past. The Company's management closely monitors the aging of receivables from its distributors and direct customers, and regularly reviews their financial positions, when available.
Summarized below are individual customers whose revenue or trade receivable balances were 10% or higher than the respective total consolidated amounts:

Segment and Geographic information
Segment and Geographic Information
Segment and Geographic Information
The Company is organized as, and operates in, one operating segment: design, development and marketing 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 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:

Acquisition of Wafer Fabrication Facility
Acquisitions of Wafer Fabrication Facility
Acquisition of Wafer Fabrication Facility

On January 31, 2012, the Company completed the acquisition of certain assets, including land, building, machinery and equipment and inventories, associated with a wafer fabrication facility located in Hillsboro, Oregon ("Oregon fab") from Integrated Device Technology, Inc, ("IDT"), for a purchase price of $26.3 million in cash plus certain assumed liabilities of $0.5 million. The Company applied the related cash deposit of $5.0 million made during fiscal 2011 to the purchase price.

The acquisition was accounted for as a business combination and the financial results of operations of the acquired facility were included in the Company's consolidated statement of income from the date of acquisition. In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred certain acquisition related expenses of approximately $0.2 million, which were recorded in general and administrative expenses in the Company's condensed consolidated statement of income.

The allocation of the total purchase consideration of $26.3 million based on the preliminary estimated fair values as of the acquisition date, is summarized in the following table (in thousands):

Of the total purchase price paid at the time of acquisition, approximately $0.3 million has been allocated to goodwill. Goodwill represents the excess of the purchase price of an acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net tangible assets and is deductible for tax purposes. Among the factors that contributed to a purchase price in excess of the fair value of the net tangible assets were the synergies in improved product research and development lead time and production operations that can be leveraged to enable the Company to build an enterprise value greater than the sum of its parts.

The Company is depreciating on a straight-line basis the building over an estimated useful life of 20 years and the machinery and equipment over an estimated useful life of 3 years to 7 years.

The Company considered the additional proforma revenue and earnings disclosure as not practical given the assets acquired had been and will continue to be used primarily as a captive fabrication facility. The lack of independently substantiated standalone historical financial statements of the acquired assets requires significant estimates of their related revenues, costs and expenses for the retrospective application. It is impossible to distinguish objectively information about those estimates that would provide evidence of circumstances that existed on the dates at which those amounts would be recognized, measured, or disclosed under retrospective application or would have been available when the financial statements for that prior period were issued. Furthermore, the wafers produced by the Oregon fab for the Company are different from those of the IDT and the Company does not intend to continue to produce such wafers. Therefore, the retroactive proforma financial information would not provide meaningful information for investors.

Bank Borrowings
As of March 31, 2012, two of the Company's subsidiaries in China had revolving lines of credit that allow each of the subsidiaries to draw down, from time to time, up to 80% of the accounts receivable balance of such subsidiary, with a maximum amount for each subsidiary of RMB40 million (equivalent of $6.3 million based on the currency exchange rate as of March 31, 2012) to finance the subsidiary's working capital with a maximum of 120-day repayment term. The annual interest rate on each draw down varies and indexes to the published London Interbank Offered Rate.
As of March 31, 2012, the total outstanding balance for the lines of credit was $12.1 million. The effective interest rates for the borrowings were in the range of 4.2% to 4.3% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012. There was no outstanding balance of bank borrowings at June 30, 2011.

Income Taxes

The Company recognized income tax expense of approximately $1.0 million and $0.7 million for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The Company recognized income tax expense of approximately $2.7 million and $2.0 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The estimated effective tax rate was 28.5% and 5.9% for the three months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The estimated effective tax rate was 29.9% and 6.6% for the nine months ended March 31, 2012 and 2011, respectively. The effective tax rates for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2012 were higher than those for same periods of last year primarily due to the changes in the mix of earnings in various geographic jurisdictions between the two periods.
    
The Company files federal and state income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. The tax years 2001 to 2011 remain open to examination by U.S. federal and state tax authorities. The tax years 2005 to 2011 remain open to examination by various foreign tax authorities.
The Company is subject to ongoing tax examinations of our tax returns by the Internal Revenue Service and other tax authorities in various jurisdictions. 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, 2012, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $6.7 million. If the 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 in which 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.

Commitments
Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments and Contingencies
As of March 31, 2012 and June 30, 2011, the Company had approximately $30.3 million and $22.0 million, respectively, of outstanding purchase commitments primarily for purchases of semiconductor raw materials and wafers and approximately $1.5 million and $5.2 million capital commitments for the purchase of property and equipment, respectively.

The Company is currently not a party to any material legal proceedings. The Company had 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 thereof or could suffer adverse effects on its operations.
Guarantees
We indemnify our directors and certain employees as permitted by law, and have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and executive officers. We have not recorded a liability associated with these indemnification arrangements, as we historically have not incurred any material costs associated with such indemnification obligations. Costs associated with such indemnification obligations may be mitigated by insurance coverage that we maintain, however, such insurance may not cover any, or may cover only a portion of, the amounts we may be required to pay. In addition, we may not be able to maintain such insurance coverage in the future.
We also have indemnification clauses in various contracts that we enter into in the normal course of business, such as indemnifications in favor of customers in respect of liabilities they may incur as a result of purchasing our products should such products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. We have not historically paid out any material amounts related to these indemnifications, therefore, no accrual has been made for these indemnifications.
