Product warranties
The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenues are recognized on the products shipped. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its component suppliers, the Company’s warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from the Company’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.
The following is a summary of changes in the Company's liability for product warranties during the three and six months ended November 30, 20172023 and 2016 (in thousands):

Income taxes have been provided using the liability method whereby deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse, or the carryforwards are utilized. Valuation allowances are established when it is determined that it is more likely than not that such assets will not be realized.
Since fiscal 2009, a full valuation allowance was established against all deferred tax assets, as management determined that it iswas more likely than not that certain deferred tax assets willwould not be realized.
The Company accounts for uncertain tax positions consistent with authoritative guidance. The guidance prescribes a “more likely than not” recognition threshold and measurement attribute for the financial statement recognition and measurement of a tax position taken or expected to be taken in a tax return. The Company does not expect any material change in its unrecognized tax benefits over the next twelve months. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income taxes.

9. REVENUE
Revenue recognition
The Company recognizes revenue from contracts with customers. This standard sets forth a new five-step revenue recognition model which replaces the prior revenue recognition guidance in its entirety and is intended to eliminate numerous industry-specific pieces of revenue recognition guidance that have historically existed in GAAP. The underlying principle of the new standard is that a business or other organization will recognize revenue to depict the transfer ofwhen promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects what itthe consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled in exchange for thethose goods or services.services by following a five-step process: (1) identify the contract with a customer, (2) identify the performance obligations in the contract, (3) determine the transaction price, (4) allocate the transaction price, and (5) recognize revenue when or as the Company satisfies a performance obligation, as further described below.
14 |
Table of Contents |
Performance obligations include sales of systems, contactors, spare parts, and services, as well as installation and training services included in customer contracts. A contract’s transaction price is allocated to each distinct performance obligation. In determining the transaction price, the Company evaluates whether the price is subject to refund or adjustment to determine the net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled. The Company generally does not grant return privileges, except for defective products during the warranty period.
For contracts that contain multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the transaction price to the performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. Standalone selling prices are based on multiple factors including, but not limited to historical discounting trends for products and services and pricing practices in different geographies. Revenue for systems and spares is recognized at a point in time, which is generally upon shipment or delivery and evidenced by transfer of title and risk of loss to the customer. Revenue from services is recognized over time as the customer receives the benefit over the contractual period of generally one year or less.
The Company has elected the practical expedient to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component as the Company’s standard also requires more detailed disclosurespayment terms are less than one year. The Company sells its products primarily through a direct sales force. In certain international markets, the Company sells its products through independent distributors.

Under the FASB released an accounting standard update that simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, forfeitures, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this new standard in fiscal year 2018. The adoption of this guidance does not have a significant impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
11. NET INCOME PER SHARE
Basic net income per share is determined using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income per share is determined using the weighted average number of common shares and potential common shares (representing the hypothetical number of incremental shares issuable under the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, and vesting of outstanding RSUs and ESPP shares) during the period using the treasury stock method. The calculation of dilutive shares outstanding excludes securities that would have an antidilutive effect on net income per share.
The following table presents the computation of basic and diluted net income per share:

The following discussion of theour financial condition and results of operations should be read in conjunction with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes that appear elsewhere in this report and with our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017 and the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto.
Overview
We are a leading provider of test solutions for testing, burning-in, and stabilizing semiconductor industry. Sincedevices in wafer level, singulated die, and package part form, and have installed thousands of systems worldwide. Increasing quality, reliability, safety, and security needs of semiconductors used across multiple applications, including electric vehicles, electric vehicle charging infrastructure, solar and wind power, computing, data and telecommunications infrastructure, and solid-state memory and storage, are driving additional test requirements, incremental capacity needs, and new opportunities for our inception, wetest products and solutions.
We have sold more than 2,500 systems to semiconductor manufacturers, semiconductor contract assemblersdeveloped and introduced several innovative products including the FOX-P family of test and burn-in systems and test service companies worldwide. Our principal products currentlyFOX WaferPak Aligner, FOX WaferPak Contactor, FOX DiePak Carrier and FOX DiePak Loader. The FOX-XP and FOX-NP systems are the Advanced Burn-in and Test System, or ABTS, the FOX full wafer contact paralleland singulated die/module test and burn-in systems that can test, burn-in, and stabilize a wide range of devices such as leading-edge silicon carbide-based and other power semiconductors, 2D and 3D sensors used in mobile phones, tablets, and other computing devices, memory semiconductors, processors, microcontrollers, systems-on-a-chip, and photonics and integrated optical devices. The FOX-CP system is a low-cost single-wafer compact test solution for logic, memory and photonic devices and the newest addition to the FOX-P product family. The FOX WaferPak contactors,Contactor contains a unique full wafer contactor capable of testing wafers up to 300mm that enables Integrated Circuit manufacturers to perform test, burn-in, and stabilization of full wafers on the FOX-P systems. The FOX DiePak carrierCarrier allows testing, burning in, and test fixtures.
Our net sales consistrevenue consists primarily of sales of FOX-P systems, WaferPak Aligners and DiePak Loaders, WaferPak contactors, DiePak Carriers,carriers, test fixtures, upgrades and spare parts, revenues from service contracts revenues, and non-recurring engineering development charges. Our selling arrangements may include contractual customer acceptance provisions, which are mostly deemed perfunctory or inconsequential, and installation of the product occurs after shipment, and transfer of title.
Critical Accounting Estimates
Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements,Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statementsCondensed Consolidated Financial Statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate our estimates, assumptions and judgments, including those related to customer programs and incentives, product returns, bad debts,credit losses, inventories, income taxes, financing operations, warranty obligations, and long-term service contracts. Our estimates are derived from historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances. Those results form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions. For a discussion of the critical accounting policies, see “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations – Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017.
There have been no material changes to our critical accounting policies and estimates during the three and six months ended November 30, 20172023 compared to those discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended May 31, 2017.

Research and development expenses increased to $2.0 million for the three months ended November 30, 2016, an increase of 87.9%. The increase in net sales for the three months ended November 30, 2017 was primarily due2023, compared to the increases in both net sales of our Test During Burn-in (TDBI) products and wafer-level products. Net sales of the TDBI products for the three months ended November 30, 2017 were $5.1 million, and increased approximately $2.4 million from the three months ended November 30, 2016. Net sales of the wafer-level products for the three months ended November 30, 2017 were $2.8 million, and increased approximately $1.4 million from the three months ended November 30, 2016.
Research and development expenses increased to $4.4 million for the six months ended November 30, 2023, compared to $3.0 million for the six months ended November 30, 2022. The increase of $1.4 million was primarily due to non-recurring engineering services charges of $0.6 million and higher employment related costs of $0.5 million.

PART II — OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, we are subject to various claims and Chief Financial Officer, doeslegal proceedings that arise in the ordinary course of business. We accrue for losses related to litigation when a potential loss is probable and the loss can be reasonably estimated in accordance with FASB requirements. During the reported period, we were not expect that our disclosure controlsa party to any material legal proceedings, thus no loss was probable and procedures or our internal controls will prevent all error and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectivesamount was accrued as of November 30, 2023.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Item 1A, “Risk Factors,” on pages 10 through 16 of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within us have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty, and that breakdowns can occur because of a simple error or mistake. Additionally, controls can be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the control. The design of any system of controls also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving our stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
