The condensed consolidated financial data at December 31, ~~2017~~2018 is derived from audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February ~~20, 2018~~21, 2019 (“Form 10-K”). The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States Generally Accepted Accounting Principles (“GAAP”) for interim financial information and with the instructions to Form 10-Q. They do not include all information and footnotes necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, operating results and cash flows in conformity with 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 our Form 10-K. 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 operating results for the period presented have been included in the interim period. Operating results for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, ~~2018.~~2019.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates. As permitted under GAAP, interim accounting for certain expenses, including income taxes, are based on full year forecasts. For interim financial reporting purposes, income taxes are recorded based upon estimated annual effective income tax rates taking into consideration discrete items occurring in a quarter.

Dollar amounts and share amounts are presented in thousands, except per share amounts, unless otherwise noted. Certain prior year’s balances may have been reclassified to conform to the current financial statement presentation.

The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued the following Accounting Standards Updates (“ASU”) which could have potential impact on the Company’s financial statements:

~~ASU No. 2014-09,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)~~ -On January 1, 2018, we adopted the comprehensive new revenue recognition standard issued by the FASB. This standard is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This standard sets forth a five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the previous revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial

position, reported revenue, results of operations or cash flows as of and for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2018. See Note 7 for our expanded revenue disclosures required by the new standard.Recently Adopted Standards

ASU No. ~~2016-18,~~ ~~Statement of Cash Flows – Restricted Cash (Topic 230)~~ – In November 2016, the FASB issued guidance on the presentation of restricted cash which requires that on the statement of cash flows, amounts generally described as restricted cash or restricted cash equivalents should be included within the beginning and ending balances of cash and cash equivalents. We adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2018 on a retrospective basis. As a result, restricted cash amounts that have historically been included in prepaid expenses on our consolidated balance sheets are now included with cash and cash equivalents on the consolidated statements of cash flows. As of September 30, 2018 and December 31, 2017 we had restricted cash of approximately $0.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively. Restricted cash is pledged as collateral when we enter into agreements with banks for certain banking facilities.

~~ASU No.~~ 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) (“ASU 2016-02”) - – In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, which amends the accounting treatment for leases and requires, among other things, lessees to recognize a right-of-use (“ROU”) asset and lease liability for most lease ~~arrangements .~~arrangements. The amendments ~~are~~were effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. ~~Lessees (for capital and operating leases) and lessors (for sales-type, direct financing, and operating leases) must apply a~~The Company adopted ASU 2016-02 on January 1, 2019, using the modified retrospective transition approach, ~~for leases existing at, or entered into after,~~under which financial results reported in periods prior to 2018 are unchanged. We elected the ~~beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements.~~ ~~The ASU will become effective for the Company for interim and annual reporting periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018. The standard offers a number of~~following allowed practical expedients ~~for transition and certain expedients specific to lessees or lessors. Both lessees and lessors are~~as permitted ~~to make an election to apply a package of practical expedients available for implementation~~ under the ~~standard. For~~ transition guidance within the ~~Company will recognize all effects of transition in the beginning~~new standard:

For additional information related to the Company’s ~~internal control framework, accounting systems and related documentation surrounding its lease accounting processes and the preparation of any additional disclosures that will be required.~~leases, see Note 10.

~~ASU 2018-10,~~ ~~Codification Improvements to Topic 842, Leases (“ASU 2016-02”) -~~ In July 2018 the FASB issued ASU 2018-10, to add clarity to certain areas within ASU 2016-02. The effective date and transition requirements will be the same as ASU 2016-02. The Company will evaluate and adopt this ASU in conjunction with ASU 2016-02.

~~ASU 2018-11,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842): Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”) -~~ In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, which now allows entities the option of recognizing the cumulative effect of applying the new standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the year of adoption (January 1, 2019) while continuing to present all prior periods under previous lease accounting guidance. ~~The Company will adopt this standard on January 1, 2019.~~

ASU No. 2018-07, Compensation—Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Nonemployee Share-Based Payment Accounting ("ASU 2018-07") - In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-07, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for nonemployee share-based payment transactions resulting from expanding the scope of Topic 718, Compensation—Stock Compensation, to include share-based payment transactions for acquiring goods and services from nonemployees. ASU 2018-07 iswas effective for ~~public~~the Company on January 1, 2019. The adoption of this standard did not have a material effect on our condensed consolidated financial statements or disclosures.

ASU No. 2017-12 - Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Targeted Improvements to Accounting for Hedging Activities (“ASU 2017-12”) -In August 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-12 to better align hedge accounting with risk management strategies, and as a result, more hedging strategies will be eligible for hedge accounting. Public business entities will have until the end of the first quarter in which a hedge is designated to perform an initial assessment of a hedge’s effectiveness. After initial qualification, the new guidance permits a qualitative effectiveness assessment for certain hedges instead of a quantitative test if the company can reasonably support an expectation of high effectiveness throughout the term of the hedge. An initial quantitative test to establish that the hedge relationship is highly effective is still required. The amendments are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, ~~including interim periods within that fiscal year. We~~and the Company adopted the new standard January 1, 2019. The new standard had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

On January 1, 2019, the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-16, “Derivatives and Hedging (Topic 815): Inclusion of the Secured Overnight Financing Rate (SOFR) Overnight Index Swap (OIS) Rate as a Benchmark Interest Rate for Hedge Accounting Purposes”. The amendments in this ASU permit the use of the OIS rate based on SOFR as a U.S. benchmark interest rate for hedge accounting purposes under ASC 815, in addition to the currently permissible benchmark interest rates. This ASU provides the Company the ability to utilize the OIS rate based on SOFR as the benchmark interest rate on certain hedges of interest rate risk. The new standard had no impact on the Company’s financial statements.

The FASB has issued the following relevant standards, effective in future years, which are ~~currently assessing the effect this guidance may~~not expected to have a material impact on our consolidated condensed financial ~~statements~~statements:

In April 2019, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2019-04, Codification Improvements to Topic 326, Financial Instruments-Credit Losses, Topic 815, Derivatives and ~~disclosures.~~ Hedging, and Topic 825, Financial Instruments, that clarifies and improves areas of guidance related to the recently issued standards on credit losses (ASU 2016-13), hedging (ASU 2017-12), and recognition and measurement of financial instruments (ASU 2016-01). The amendments generally have the same effective dates as their related standards. If already adopted, the amendments of ASU 2016-01 and ASU

2016-13 are effective for ~~Fair Value Measurements (“ASU 2018-13”) -~~ In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-13 which is part of the disclosure framework project and eliminates certain disclosure requirements for fair value measurements, requires entities to disclose new information, and modifies existing disclosure requirements. The new guidance is effectivefiscal years beginning after December 15, ~~2019. Early~~2019 and the amendments of ASU 2017-12 are effective as of the beginning of the Company’s next annual reporting period; early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact this change will have on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.

~~ASU 2018-14,~~ ~~Disclosure Framework—Changes~~All other issued and not yet effective accounting standards are not expected to be relevant to the ~~Disclosure Requirements~~Company.

The Company determines if an arrangement is a lease at inception. ROU assets are included in Other assets in the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets. Current ROU liabilities are included in Accrued liabilities and other and long-term ROU liabilities are included in Other long-term liabilities, in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset for ~~Defined Benefit Plans ("ASU No. 2018-14").~~ ~~In August 2018,~~ the ~~FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, which is part~~lease term, and lease liabilities represent its obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the lease commencement date based on the estimated present value of lease payments over the lease term. To determine the present value of the ~~FASB's broader disclosure framework project, and modifies and supplements~~lease payments, we estimate our incremental borrowing rate based on information available at the ~~current U.S. GAAP annual disclosure requirements for employers~~lease commencement date.

The Company’s lease term includes options to extend the lease when it is reasonably certain that ~~sponsor defined benefit pension plans. ASU No. 2018-14 is effective~~it will exercise that option. Leases with a term of 12 months or less are not recorded on the balance sheet. Our leases typically do not contain any residual value guarantees. For real estate, we account for the ~~year ending December 31, 2020, with early adoption permitted. ASU No. 2018-14 must be adopted on~~lease and non-lease components as a retroactive basis and applied to each comparative period presented in an entity's financial statements. We are evaluating the potential impact of adopting ASU No. 2018-14; however, we do not currently expect it to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements and disclosures.single lease component.

Earnings per share (“EPS”) is calculated by dividing net income attributable to common stockholders by the weighted-average number of shares of Common Stock outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is calculated similarly but includes potential dilution from the exercise of stock options and stock awards, except when the effect would be anti-dilutive. During the three and six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 we paid no dividends on our Common Stock.

The table below sets forth the reconciliation between net income and the weighted average shares outstanding used for calculating basic and diluted EPS:

(a) The Company’s acquisition accounting for the purchase of a wafer fabrication facility in Greenock, Scotland, (“GFAB”). (See Note 13 for additional information).

(b) The acquisition accounting for the Company’s investment of $3.4 million in Canyon Semiconductor. This investment brings our ownership of Canyon to 51%. During the second quarter of 2019, as a measurement period adjustment, we reduced the amount of goodwill approximately $1.1 million. This reduction in goodwill was related to finalization of the non-controlling interest value. The acquisition accounting is not final as deferred taxes are being finalized. We expect the acquisition accounting to be finalized in the third quarter of 2019.

(c) The acquisition accounting related to Eris’ investment of approximately $6.4 million in Yea-Shin Technology Corporation. During the second quarter of 2019, as a measurement period adjustment, we increased goodwill approximately $4.3 million, related to finalization of deferred taxes. The Company owns approximately 51% of Eris and Eris owns approximately 60% of Yea-Shin.

The table below sets forth amortization expense related to intangible assets subject to amortization:

The Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the “Tax Act”) was enacted on December 22, 2017. The Tax Act reduced the U.S. federal corporate tax rate from 35% to 21% effective January 1, 2018, required companies to pay a one-time transition tax on earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries that were previously tax deferred, provided an exemption from U.S. federal tax for dividends received from foreign subsidiaries, and created new taxes on certain foreign sourced earnings. As of the completion of these financial statements and related disclosures, we have not completed our accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act on our 2017 tax year. We have not made any adjustments to the provisional tax expense of $45.9 million we recorded in the fourth quarter of 2017 to account for the tax effects of the Tax Act. The Company expects to finalize the accounting for the effects of the Tax Act on the 2017 tax year no later than the fourth quarter of 2018, in accordance with Securities and Exchange Commission Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. Future adjustments made to the provisional effects will be reported as a component of income tax expense from continuing operations in the reporting period in which any such adjustments are determined.

We incorporated the effects of the Tax Act into our 30.4% estimated annual effective tax rate for 2018. As shown below, the actual 29.7% effective tax rate for the quarter ended September 30, 2018, varies from the estimated annual tax rate due to discrete items related to stock-based compensation activity during the quarter (accounted for under ASU 2016-09).

Our undistributed foreign earnings continue to be ~~indefinitely~~indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations, with limited exceptions related to earnings of European and Asian subsidiaries. Any future distributions of foreign earnings will not be subject to additional U.S. income tax, but may be subject to non-U.S. withholding taxes.

We file income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction and in various state and foreign jurisdictions. We are no longer subject to U.S. federal income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before 2008, or for the 2010 and 2011 tax years. We are no longer subject to China income tax examinations by tax authorities for tax years before ~~2007.~~2009. With respect to state and local jurisdictions and countries outside of the U.S. (other than China), with limited exceptions, the Company is no longer subject to income tax audits for years before ~~2012.~~2013. Although the outcome of tax audits is always uncertain, the Company believes that adequate amounts of tax, interest and penalties, if any, have been provided for in the Company’s reserve for any adjustments that may result from currently pending tax audits. The Company recognizes accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in interest expense. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately ~~$33.1~~$35.9 million.

It is reasonably possible that the amount of the unrecognized benefit with respect to certain of the Company’s unrecognized tax positions will significantly increase or decrease within the next 12 months. At this time, an estimate of the range of the reasonably possible outcomes cannot be made.

Stock Options. Approximately ~~$4.9~~$6.7 million in cash proceeds was received from stock option exercises during the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018.~~2019.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018, there was~~2019, we had no unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to unvested stock options.

Share Grants. Restricted stock awards and restricted stock units generally vest in equal annual installments over a four-year period. We also have share grants that are ~~performance based~~performance-based and time-based that vest upon achievement of certain performance ~~criteria.~~ Our Chief Executive Officer had a grant of 600,000 performance-based stock units that vested upon the Company reaching $1.0 billion in revenue. Based on the Company reaching approximately $1.1 billion in revenue in 2017, our Chief Executive Officer’s grant of 600,000 performance-based stock units were released to the Chief Executive Officer, upon filing of the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K, in February 2018. The expense related to the 600,000 performance-based units was all recognized in previous periods. During the nine months ended September 30, 2018, we issued 639,755 stock awards. This was primarily made up of the annual grant for officers, employees and directors.criteria over time.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, total unrecognized share-based compensation expense related to share grants was approximately ~~$39.9~~$38.9 million, before income taxes, and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately ~~2.4~~2.2 years.

~~Stock Modification.~~ During the nine months ended September 30, 2018 we modified previously granted stock option and stock awards for two corporate officers who retired. The result of the modification was the acceleration of the vesting of 7,500 stock options and 79,720 stock awards for the corporate officers. The incremental expense recorded for this modification was approximately $1.8 million, which was expensed in SG&A in the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Segment Reporting.For financial reporting purposes, we operate in a single segment, standard semiconductor products, through our various manufacturing and distribution facilities. We aggregate our products because the products are similar and have similar economic characteristics, use similar production processes and share the same customer type. Our primary operations include operations in Asia, North America and Europe. During the three ~~and nine~~ months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2019 and 2018, one customer, a broad-based global distributor that sells to thousands of different end users, accounted for ~~10.2% and 10.5%~~10% or ~~$32.7~~$31.5 million and ~~$94.4~~10.9% or $33.3 million, respectively, of our ~~revenue.

~~Changes in Accounting Policies.~~ Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted a comprehensive new revenue recognition standard. The details of the significant changes to our accounting policies resulting from the adoption of the new standard are set out below. We adopted the standard using a modified retrospective method. There was no change in our revenue reported for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. The adoption of this standard did not have a material impact on our condensed consolidated financial position, reported revenue, results of operations or cash flows as of and for the three or nine months ended September 30, 2018.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer, and is the unit of account under ASC 606. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation and recognized as revenue when, or as, the performance obligation is satisfied. Generally speaking, our performance obligations represent a promise to transfer various semiconductor products, and have the same pattern of revenue recognition. Our performance obligations are satisfied at either a point in time, or over time as work progresses. The vast majority of our revenue from products and services is accounted for at a

~~point in time. Substantially all of our revenue in direct and Distributor sales is recognized at a point in time. Further, the payment terms on our sales are based on negotiations with our customers.~~

Customers can order different types of semiconductors in a single contract (purchase order), and each line on a purchase order represents a separate performance obligation. Depending on the terms of an arrangement, we may also be responsible for shipping and handling activities. In accordance with ASC 606-10-25-18B, we have elected to account for shipping and handling as activities to fulfill our promise to transfer the good(s). As such, shipping and handling activities do not represent a separate performance obligation, and are accrued as a fulfillment cost. Further, although we offer warranties on our products, our warranties are considered to be assurance-type in nature and do not cover anything beyond ensuring that the product is functioning as intended. Based on the guidance in ASC 606, assurance-type warranties do not represent separate performance obligations; therefore, the primary performance obligation in the majority of our contracts is the delivery of a specific good through the purchase order submitted by our customer.

We record allowances/reserves for a number of items. The following items are the largest dollar items for which we record allowances/reserves with ship and debit making up the vast majority: (i) ship and debit, which arise when we issue credit to certain distributors upon their shipments to their end customers; (ii) stock rotation, which are contractual obligations that permit certain distributors, up to four times a year, to return a portion of their inventory based on historical shipments to them in exchange for an equal and offsetting order; and (iii) price protection, which arise when market conditions cause average selling prices to decrease and we issue credit to certain distributors on their inventory. Ship and debit reserves are recorded as a reduction to net sales with a corresponding reduction to accounts receivable. Stock rotation reserves and price protection reserves are recorded as a reduction to net sales with a corresponding increase in accrued liabilities.

We also assess our customer’s ability and intention to pay, which is based on a variety of factors including our customer’s historical payment experience, their financial condition and the condition of the global economy and financial markets. Payment terms and conditions typically vary depending on negotiations with the customer.

Disaggregation of ~~Revenue.~~ Net sales.We disaggregate ~~revenue~~net sales from contracts with customers into direct sales and distribution sales (“Distributors”) and by geographic area.Direct sales customers consist of those customers using our product in their manufacturing process, and Distributors are those customers who resell our products to third parties. We sell our products to customers in multiple areas of the world including Asia, Europe, and North America. Across these regions, we sell products to end users in a variety of markets such as consumer electronics, computing, communications, industrial and automotive. Further, most of our contracts are fixed-price arrangements, and are short term in nature, ranging from days to several months.

The tables below set forth the amount of net sales by type (direct sales or Distributor) and the location of the customer based on the location to where the products were shipped for the three and ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017:~~2018:

~~Contract Balances.~~ The timing of revenue recognition, billings, and cash collections can result in billed accounts receivable, unbilled receivables (contract assets), and customer advances and deposits (contract liabilities) on the condensed consolidated balance sheets. However, billing generally occurs at or near the same time as revenue recognition, resulting in limited activity related to contract assets and liabilities. Contract asset and liability balances for the periods ended September 30, 2018, and December 31, 2017 were immaterial to our condensed consolidated financial statements.

~~Other Practical Expedients Elected.~~ ~~The Company decided to make use of the following practical expedients available under ASC 606:~~

Purchase commitments – As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, we had approximately ~~$11.9~~$18.5 million in non-cancelable purchase contracts related to capital expenditures, primarily related to our manufacturing facilities in Asia. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019, we also had a commitment to purchase approximately ~~$130.0~~$83.7 million of wafers to be used in our manufacturing process. These wafer purchases will occur ~~between 2018~~during 2019 and 2020.

Defined Benefit Plan - We have a contributory defined benefit plan that covers certain employees in the United Kingdom. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, the unfunded liability for this defined benefit plan was approximately ~~$25.1~~$27.7 million. We are obligated to make annual contributions, each year through December 2029, of approximately GBP 2 million (approximately $2.6 million based on a GBP: USD exchange rate of 1.3:1). The trustees are required to review the funding position every three years, and the most recent review was carried out asin April 2019. We anticipate receiving the outcome of the April ~~5, 2016.~~2019 review during the third quarter of 2019. The outcome of ~~a review~~future reviews can result in a change in the amount of the payment.

Contingencies –From time to time, we are involved in various legal proceedings that arise in the normal course of business. While we intend to defend any lawsuit vigorously, we presently believe that the ultimate outcome of any ~~current~~ pending legal proceeding will not have any material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position, cash flows or operating results. However, litigation is subject to inherent uncertainties, and unfavorable rulings could occur. An unfavorable ruling could include monetary damages, which could impact on our business and operating results for the period in which the ruling occurs or future periods. Based on information available, we evaluate the likelihood of potential outcomes of all pending disputes. We record an appropriate liability when the amount of any liability associated with a pending dispute is deemed probable and reasonably estimable. In addition, we do not accrue for estimated legal fees and other directly related costs as they are expensed as incurred. The Company is not currently a party to any pending litigation that the Company considers material.

We use derivative instruments to manage risks related to foreign currencies, interest rates and the net investment risk in our foreign subsidiaries. Our objectives for holding derivatives include reducing, eliminating, and efficiently managing the economic impact of these exposures as effectively as possible. Our derivative programs include strategies that both qualify and do not qualify for hedge accounting treatment.

Hedges of Foreign Currency Risk - We are exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against our different functional currencies. We use foreign currency forward agreements to manage this exposure. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, we had outstanding foreign currency forward contracts that are intended to preserve the economic value of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities; these instruments are not designated for hedge accounting treatment in accordance with ASC 815. ~~There is no~~ The fair value of ~~our foreign exchange hedges and therefore they are not recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets.~~ these instruments approximates zero.

The table below sets forth outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017:~~2018:

We maintain a Non-Qualified Deferred Compensation Plan (the “Deferred Compensation Plan”) for executive officers, key employees and members of the Board of Directors. The Deferred Compensation Plan allows eligible participants to defer the receipt of eligible compensation, including equity awards, until designated future dates. We offset our obligations under the Deferred Compensation Plan by investing in the actual underlying investments. These investments are classified as trading securities and are carried at fair value. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, these investments totaled approximately ~~$10.5~~$10.1 million and ~~$8.8~~$10.6 million, respectively. All gains and losses in these investments are materially offset by corresponding gains and losses in the Deferred Compensation Plan liabilities.

We conduct business with a related party company, Lite-On Semiconductor Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “LSC”), and Nuvoton Technology Corporation and its subsidiaries and affiliates (collectively, “Nuvoton”).

The following table and discussion explains in greater detail our consolidated operating results and financial condition for the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, compared to the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2017. This discussion should be read in conjunction with the condensed consolidated financial statements and notes thereto appearing elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.~~

Net sales increased approximately $35.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period last year due to our past design wins, continued market-share gains at new and existing customers.

Cost of goods sold increased approximately $16.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period last year. As a percent of sales, cost of goods sold was 64% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to 66% for the same period last year. Average unit cost decreased approximately 0.8% for the three months ended September 30, 2018, compared to the same period last year. For the three months ended September 30, 2018, gross profit increased approximately 19.6% when compared to the same period last year. Gross profit margin for the three month periods ended September 30, 2018 and 2017 was 35.9% and 33.8%, respectively. The increase in gross profit margin was related to favorable product mix, improved capacity utilization and the continued shift from six inch to eight inch wafer production at the Company’s Shanghai fabrication facility.

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2018 decreased approximately $3.3 million, or 4.5%, compared to the three months ended September 30, 2017. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) decreased approximately $1.1 million and research and development expenses (“R&D”) increased approximately $2.2 million. Amortization of acquisition related intangibles was relatively flat. SG&A, as a percentage of sales, was 13.2% and 15.3% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. R&D, as a percentage of sales, was 7.0% and 7.1% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively.

Interest income increased 21.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period last year, due to the investment of excess cash in short-term investments. Interest expense decreased 34.9% for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense for the three months ended September 30, 2018 was due to lower levels of debt partially offset by higher interest rates on the floating rate portion of the borrowings to effect the Pericom acquisition, in the fourth quarter of 2015. Foreign currency loss, net was a net loss of $0.7 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 compared to a net loss of $1.3 million for the same period last year, reflecting the effectiveness of our currency hedges.

We recognized an income tax expense of approximately $13.2 million and $5.1 million for the three months ended September 30, 2018 and 2017, respectively. The increase in income taxes for 2018 compared to 2017 is attributable to the increase in pretax net income.

Excluding the frequency control business, our serial-connectivity business reached record levels of net sales in the first three months of 2019.

The table below sets forth our revenue as a percentage of total revenue by end-user market for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018:

Cost of goods sold increased approximately $17.2 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period last year. As a percent of sales, cost of goods sold was 62.1% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 compared to 64.4% for the same period last year. Average unit cost increased approximately 6.0% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period last year. For the three months ended June 30, 2019, gross profit increased approximately 13.9% when compared to the ~~U.S. dollar.~~same period last year. Gross profit margin for the six month periods ended June 30, 2019 and 2018 was 37.6% and 35.6%, respectively. The increase in gross profit margin was due to higher revenue contribution from the automotive and industrial markets as well as serial-connectivity products, which typically have higher gross profit margins.

Operating expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2019, increased approximately $2.7 million, or 1.9%, compared to the three months ended June 30, 2018. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased approximately $1.7 million and research and development expenses (“R&D”) increased approximately $1.6 million. Amortization of acquisition related intangibles decreased $0.4 million. SG&A, as a percentage of sales, was 14.6% and 15.4% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively. R&D, as a percentage of sales, was 7.0% and 7.3% for the six months ended June 30, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

Interest income increased 57.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period last year, due to interest received on cross currency swaps. Interest expense decreased 21.6% for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to the same period last year. The decrease in interest expense for the six months ended June 30, 2019 was due to lower levels of debt partially offset by higher interest rates on the floating rate portion of the borrowings used to effect the Pericom acquisition in the fourth quarter of 2015. Foreign currency (loss) gain, net was a net loss of $0.6 million for the six months ended June 30, 2019, compared to a net loss of $2.7 million for the same period last year, reflecting the effectiveness of our currency hedges.

We recognized an income tax expense of approximately ~~$31.7~~$21.4 million and ~~$11.7~~$18.6 million for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and ~~2017,~~2018, respectively. The increase in income taxes for ~~2018~~2019 compared to ~~2017~~2018 is primarily attributable to ~~the~~an increase in pretax book income, partially offset by a net ~~income.~~decrease in unfavorable U.S. permanent differences.

Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, funds from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under our credit facilities.

Our Asia subsidiaries maintain credit facilities with several financial institutions through our foreign entities worldwide totaling $121.4 million. At June 30, 2019, borrowings were $15.5 million and letters of credit were $0.4 million under the Asia credit facilities. Other than two Taiwanese credit facilities that are collateralized by assets, our foreign credit lines are unsecured, uncommitted, repayable on demand, terminable by the lender at any time and contain no restrictive covenants. These credit facilities bear interest at LIBOR or similar indices plus a specified margin. Interest payments are due quarterly on outstanding amounts under the credit lines. In addition to our credit lines, our 51% owned subsidiary, ERIS Technology Corporation (“ERIS”), borrowed $19.6 million on a long-term basis from local Taiwan banks in order to make an investment. The first loan of $4.3 million matures in 2033, while the second loan of $15.3 million matures in 2024.

We currently have a U.S. banking credit facility (the “U.S. Credit Facility”) under which we may draw up to $250 million on a revolving basis, in addition to a $250 million term ~~loan included in the U.S. Credit Facility.~~loan. The U.S. Credit Facility matures October 26, 2021. The remaining portion of the term loan ~~portion~~ of the U.S. Credit Facility is repayable in part through quarterly installments that increase over time from ~~$4.7~~$6.3 million in the first three quarters of ~~2018~~2019 to $9.4 million per quarter in the final year of the U.S. Credit Facility. We may, from time to time, request increases in the aggregate commitments under the U.S. Credit Facility of up to $200 million, subject to the lenders electing to increase their commitments or by means of the addition of new lenders, and subject to at least half of each increase in aggregate commitments being in the form of term loans, with the remaining amount of each increase being an increase in the amount of the revolving portion of the U.S. Credit Facility. The U.S. Credit Facility ~~bears interest at LIBOR or similar indices plus a specified margin based on our consolidated leverage ratio. The U.S. Credit Facility~~ contains certain financial and non-financial covenants, including, but not limited to, a maximum consolidated leverage ratio, a minimum consolidated fixed charge coverage ratio, and restrictions on liens, indebtedness, investments, fundamental changes, dispositions, and restricted payments (including dividends and share repurchases). ~~At September 30, 2018, we owed $162.2 million~~The obligations of the Company and the other borrowers under the U.S. Credit Facility ~~$31.5 million~~are secured by substantially all of ~~which was drawn under~~ the ~~revolving portion~~assets of the Company, including controlling interests in its first-tier subsidiaries, and ~~$130.7 million~~by specified assets of ~~which was~~certain of its subsidiaries.

~~In addition to our U.S. Credit Facility, we maintain credit facilities with several financial institutions through our foreign entities worldwide totaling $109.8 million~~ as of ~~September~~June 30, 2018. As of September 30, 2018, in addition to the U.S. Credit Facility, our Asia subsidiaries had unused and available credit lines of up to an aggregate of approximately $97.1 million, under several uncommitted short-term revolving loan facilities with several financial institutions. Other than two Taiwanese credit facilities that2019 are collateralized by assets, our foreign credit lines are unsecured, uncommitted, repayable on demand, terminable by the lender at any time and contain no restrictive covenants. Our foreign credit lines bear interest at LIBOR or similar indices plus a specified margin. At September 30, 2018, $12.3 million was outstanding on these credit lines. In addition to our credit lines, during 2018, our 60% owned subsidiary, ERIS Technology Corporation (“ERIS”), borrowed $4.7 million on a long-term basis in order to make an investment. That investment was made in July 2018. The $4.7 million loan, matures in 2033, but will be increasing over time to as much as $27.6 million, as the amount of investment grows. See Note 13 - ERIS Acquisitionset forth in the ~~Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements above, for a description of this investment by ERIS.~~table below:

Our primary liquidity requirements have been to meet our inventory and capital expenditure needs and to fund on-going operations. At ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018~~2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, our working capital was ~~$385.6~~$481.2 million and ~~$415.2~~$480.8 million, respectively. We expect cash generated by our operations together with existing cash, cash equivalents, short-term investments and available credit facilities to be sufficient to cover cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months.

Capital expenditures for the ~~nine~~six months ended ~~September~~June 30, 2019 and 2018 ~~and 2017~~ were ~~$64.1~~$52.7 million and ~~$70.1~~$47.5 million, respectively. For the first ~~nine~~six months of ~~2018~~2019 capital expenditures were approximately 7%8.4% of our net sales, which is ~~in-line~~in line with our capital spending target range of 5% to 9% of net sales. ~~This increase in capital expenditures was to put capacity in place for the expected strong revenue growth in the remainder of 2018.~~

Our undistributed foreign earnings continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations, with limited exceptions related to earnings of European subsidiaries. As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, our foreign subsidiaries held approximately ~~$179.7~~$128.0 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments of which approximately ~~$82.2~~$21.4 million would be subject to a potential non-U.S. withholding tax if distributed outside the country in which the cash is currently held. Of this total, ~~$72.6~~$11.6 million is held in China.

As of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, we had short-term investments totaling ~~$7.3~~$6.6 million. These investments are highly liquid with maturity dates greater than three months at the date of purchase. We generally can access these investments in a relatively short time frame but in doing so we generally forfeit all earned and future interest income.

During 2015, our Board of Directors (“Board”) approved a stock repurchase program. The Board authorized the repurchase of up to an aggregate of $100.0 million of our outstanding Common Stock. The share repurchase program is expected to continue through the end of 2019 unless extended or shortened by the Board. Currently there is approximately ~~$62.3~~$62.3 million available for repurchase of outstanding Common Stock under this publicly announced repurchase program. No shares were repurchased during the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018.~~ 2019.

Our primary source of liquidity is cash flow from operations. Additional sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, short-term investments and our credit facilities. Our cash and cash equivalents decreased from ~~$203.8~~$241.1 million at December 31, ~~2017~~2018 to ~~$150.3~~$235.4 million at ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018.~~2019.

These uses of cash were partially offset by inflows of $6.7 million related to stock option exercises and $5.3 million of net increases in lines of credit and short-term debt.Net cash and cash equivalents used in financing activities was $83.4 million for the six months ended June 30, 2018.

We use interest rate swaps, foreign exchange forward contracts and cross currency swaps to provide a level of protection against interest rate risks and foreign exchange exposure.

The Company’s objectives in using interest rate derivatives are to add stability to interest expense and to manage exposure to interest rate movements. To accomplish this objective, the Company primarily uses interest rate swaps, including interest rate collars, as part of its interest rate risk management strategy. Interest rate swaps designated as cash flow hedges involve the receipt of variable amounts from a ~~capital contribution~~counterparty in a partially owned subsidiary by a noncontrolling interest of $5.3 million and proceeds received upon the exercise of stock options of $4.9 million. Net cash used in financing activities was $97.8 millionexchange for the ~~nine months ended September 30, 2017. Net cash used in 2017 consisted primarily~~Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of ~~repayments~~the agreements without exchange of ~~long-term debt of $109.6~~the underlying notional amount.

We are exposed to fluctuations in various foreign currencies against our different functional currencies. We use foreign currency forward agreements to manage this exposure and to preserve the economic value of foreign currency denominated monetary assets and liabilities; these instruments are not designated for hedge accounting treatment in accordance with ASC 815. The fair value of our foreign exchange hedges approximates zero.

During 2019, we used cross currency swaps to hedge our foreign exchange exposure related to our investment in our foreign subsidiaries. These instruments were subject to market fluctuations due to changes in foreign exchange rates and at times may be in a loss position. Market fluctuations were recorded to other comprehensive income/loss since these instruments are subject to hedge accounting. If these instruments are in a loss position at maturity, or if we decided to exit these instruments while they are in a loss position, we would have to make a cash payment in the amount of the loss position. During the second quarter of 2019, we decided to exit our positions in cross currency swaps. As a result of exiting this position we were required to make a cash payment of ~~dividends to noncontrolling interests of $5.8 million, partially offset by proceeds from the issuance of Common Stock of $6.9~~approximately $0.3 million.

We do not have any transactions, arrangements ~~and~~or other relationships with unconsolidated entities that will affect our liquidity or capital resources. We have no special purpose entities that provide off-balance sheet financing, liquidity or market or credit risk support, nor do we engage in leasing, swap agreements, or outsourcing of research and development services that could expose us to liability that is not reflected on the face of our financial statements.

Our Chief Executive Officer, Keh-Shew Lu, and Chief Financial Officer, ~~Richard D. White,~~Brett R. Whitmire, with the participation of our management, carried out an evaluation, as of ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018,~~2019, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e).) Based upon that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer believe that, as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, our disclosure controls and procedures are effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that information required to be included in this report is:

Disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and implemented, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving an entity’s disclosure objectives. The likelihood of achieving such objectives is affected by limitations inherent in disclosure controls and procedures. These include the fact that human judgment in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns in internal control can occur because of human failures such as simple errors, mistakes or intentional circumvention of the established processes.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting, known to our Chief Executive Officer or Chief Financial Officer, that occurred in the three months ended ~~September~~June 30, ~~2018, which~~2019, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

The Company is not ~~currently~~ a party to any pending litigation that we consider material.

In August 2018, the Company received a letter from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (the “EPA”) concerning potential violations under the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990, which do not involve any actual discharge of materials into the environment, arising as a result of an inspection at our now-closed wafer fabrication facility in Lee’s Summit, Missouri. The Company has received notice of a proposed civil penalty from the EPA in excess of $100,000 and continues to work with the EPA to resolve this matter. The Company does not expect that any settlement will have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, cash flows and results of operations.

~~Other than~~Except as identified in the ~~following,~~modified Risk Factor set out below, there have been no material changes ~~from the~~to our risk factors from those disclosed in the ~~“Risk Factors”~~"Risk Factors" section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the ~~fiscal~~ year ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, filed with the ~~SEC~~Securities and Exchange Commission on February ~~20, 2018.~~21, 2019.

Tariffs or other restrictions imposed by the United States Trade Representative may affect our operations in the U.S. ~~and~~, may disrupt our activities in the U.S. ~~and~~, may have an adverse impact on our profitability and results of ~~operations.~~operations and may encourage the independent development in China of products and electronic components that will compete with ours or displace our products and components, resulting in an adverse impact on our Chinese business.

In May 2019, at the direction of the President, the United States increased the level of tariffs from 10 percent to 25 percent on approximately $200 billion worth of Chinese imports. The President also ordered the U.S. ~~government has~~ Trade Representative to begin the process of raising tariffs on essentially all remaining imports from China, which are valued at approximately $300 billion. These tariffs are in addition to the recently imposed ~~additional~~ new or higher tariffs on specified products imported from China in response to what itthe U.S. characterizes as unfair trade practices. ~~The U.S. government has also proposed higher~~China responded to the earlier increased tariffs ~~beginning on January 1, 2019. China has responded~~ by proposing new or higher tariffs on specified products imported from the United States. Negotiations between the U.S. and China to resolve the issues that precipitated the impositions of these tariffs are reported to be ongoing, but the situation is dynamic and the timing and nature of any ultimate resolution is currently uncertain. In June 2019, President Trump and Chinese President Xi Jinping agreed that they did not plan more tariffs against each other’s countries, but on August 1, 2019, President Trump announced that on September 1, 2019, the U.S. would put an additional tariff of 10% on $300 billion of goods and products coming from China to the U.S.

Most of our products are manufactured in China and then a portion of those products are imported into the U.S. The impacts on us of the recently imposed and proposed tariffs are uncertain because of the dynamic nature of governmental actions and responses, as well as possible exemptions for certain products. If the U.S. and China are able to negotiate the issues to restore a mutually advantageous and fair trading regime, the increased tariffs could be eliminated, but given the uncertainties, there can be no assurance of whether, or when, this will be accomplished. We have taken actions, and may take additional steps, to mitigate those impacts and protect our competitive position in the marketplace. If we determine to pass some or all of these new tariff burdens on to our customers, the result may be a degradation of our competitive position and a loss of customers that would adversely affect our operating performance. It is not clear at this time what the ultimate outcome of these tariff actions and our mitigation efforts will be, but given the importance of our Chinese operations and related sales, and the impacts of existing and possible future restrictions with regard to transactions with Chinese entities, it is very possible that our operating results and/or financial condition may be adversely affected.

In addition, China is stepping up efforts to design and manufacture semiconductors itself rather than buy from the U.S., amid fears that sanctions might cripple its high-tech industry. U.S. restrictions on exports to Chinese telecoms equipment makers have sharpened Beijing’s focus on semiconductor self-sufficiency. China’s ministry of finance announced tax breaks “to support the development of integrated circuit design and the software industry,” cancelling corporate taxes for some companies for two years. Although the outcome of these efforts is uncertain, the development of such capacity in China would likely have a material adverse effect on our profitability and results of operations.
