Basis of Presentation
The condensed consolidated financial data at December 31, 2020 are derived from audited financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on February 22, 2021 (“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 months ended September 30, 2021 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for other interim periods or the year ending December 31, 2021.
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 condensed consolidated financial statement presentation.

The decrease in the effective tax rate for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2021 when compared to the three and nine months ended September 30, 2020, is primarily attributable to the change in pre-tax earnings during the comparable periods.
Our undistributed foreign earnings continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations, with limited exceptions related to earnings of certain 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.

Disaggregation of Net Sales. We disaggregate net sales 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 deliver our products to customers around the world for use in consumer electronics, computing, communications, industrial and automotive markets. Further, most of our contracts are fixed-price arrangements, and are short term in nature, ranging from days to several months.

NOTE 9 – Commitments and Contingencies
Purchase commitments – As of September 30, 2021, we had approximately $
Defined Benefit Plan -
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 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 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.
Note 10 – Derivative Financial Instruments
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

Overview
We are a leading global manufacturer and supplier of high-quality, application-specific standard products within the broad discrete, logic, analog and mixed-signal semiconductor markets. For detailed information, see Note 1 – Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies, included in the condensed consolidated financial statements in Item 1 above. Our products are sold primarily throughout Asia, the Americas and Europe. We believe that our focus on application-specific standard products utilizing innovative, highly efficient packaging and cost-effective process technologies, coupled with our collaborative, customer-focused product development, provides us with a meaningful competitive advantage relative to other semiconductor companies.
Factors Relevant to Our Results of Operations for the Three Months Ended September 30, 2021
-24-
Recent Developments
LSC Acquisition
On November 30, 2020, the Company closed the acquisition of Lite-On Semiconductor Corporation (“LSC”), a Taiwan-based supplier of “green” power-related discrete analog semiconductor devices. Since the close of the acquisition the Company has focused on the integration of LSC into its operations. The Company believes that the integration of LSC is progressing well as we have already begun to realize some of the benefits of manufacturing synergies from improved factory loading with both LSC and Diodes’ products. Our global manufacturing footprint is serving as a key advantage at a time when the broader semiconductor industry is challenged by supply and capacity constraints.
COVID-19
We remain focused on the safety and well-being of our stakeholders and on the service to our customers. We will continuously review and assess the rapidly-changing COVID-19 pandemic and its impacts on our customers, our suppliers and our business so that we can seek to address those impacts. We previously temporarily closed a manufacturing facility due to COVID-19, and no assurances can be provided that we will not be required to close or reduce our manufacturing production in the future in response to the COVID-19 pandemic or other events beyond our control.
As of September 30, 2021, our cash, cash equivalents, and short-term investments were $287.9 million, and we had access to additional borrowing capacity of $150.0 million under the revolving portion our Credit Agreement, which we believe assures us adequate liquidity to manage the impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business and to cover cash needs for working capital, capital expenditures and acquisitions for at least the next 12 months.
See “Risk Factors - The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak cannot be estimated at this time, but it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.” in Item 1A of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for an additional discussion of risks and potential risks of the COVID-19 pandemic on our business, financial condition and results of operations.

Net sales increased approximately $162.0 million, or 52.3%, for the three months ended September 30, 2021, compared to the same period last year. The 52.3% increase in net sales for the three months ended September 30, 2021 was driven by 27.8% organic growth attributable to the Company’s legacy business that existed prior to the LSC acquisition and 24.6% related to LSC. Revenue grew in all regions. Contributing the Company's growth in net sales has been the success of our content expansion initiatives, particularly in the automotive market where revenue grew over 65% when compared to the same period last year, and 7% when compared to the three months ended June 30, 2021, contributing to a 8-year CAGR of 30%. Additionally, our Pericom products continued to set new revenue records, achieving 5 consecutive quarters of growth primarily driven by high-end computing applications. The Company has also experienced growth in higher-margin end markets which, when combined with increased loading at LSC facilities has enabled the Company to increase its net sales and margins, even in the midst of this supply-constrained environment.
The table below sets forth our revenue as a percentage of total revenue by end-user market for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020:

Operating expenses for the three months ended September 30, 2021, increased $30.7 million when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2020. Operating expenses as a percentage of net sales was 22.1% and 23.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020, respectively. Selling, general and administrative expenses (“SG&A”) increased approximately $23.2 million, due to increases in wages and benefits, selling expenses and freight and duty expenses as compared to the same period last year. Research and development expenses (“R&D”) increased approximately $7.0 million due to increases in wages and benefits and professional services as compared to the same period last year.

Financial Condition
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our primary sources of liquidity are cash and cash equivalents, funds from operations and, if necessary, borrowings under our credit facilities.
Short-term debt
Our Asia subsidiaries maintain credit facilities with several financial institutions through our foreign entities worldwide totaling $117.1 million. At September 30, 2021, outstanding borrowings were $15.7 million, attributable to ERIS and outstanding letters of credit were $1.4 million under the Asia credit facilities.
Long-term debt
The Company maintains a long-term credit facility (“Credit Agreement”) consisting of a term loan with a current balance of $108.4 million and a $150.0 million revolving senior credit facility, of which nothing was drawn on September 30, 2021. The Credit Agreement matures in May 2023.
In addition to the liquidity provided by the Credit Agreement ERIS borrowed $30.0 million on a long-term basis from local Taiwan banks. The ERIS debt matures in periods through 2033.
At September 30, 2021 and December 31, 2020, our working capital was $619.3 million and $514.2 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, capital expenditures and acquisitions for at least the next 12 months.
Capital expenditures (including accrued capital expenditures) for the nine months ended September 30, 2021 and 2020 were $100.3 million and $47.5 million, respectively. For the first nine months of 2021 capital expenditures were approximately 7.6% of our net sales. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended September 30, 2021, is in line with our capital spending target range of 5% to 9% of net sales.
Our undistributed foreign earnings continue to be indefinitely reinvested in foreign operations, with limited exceptions related to earnings of certain European and Asian subsidiaries. As of September 30, 2021, our foreign subsidiaries held approximately $257.7 million of cash, cash equivalents and investments of which approximately $28.3 million would be subject to a potential non-U.S. withholding tax if distributed outside the country in which the cash is currently held. The $28.3 million is held in Germany, China, Korea, and Taiwan.
As of September 30, 2021, we had short-term investments totaling $7.4 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.
Discussion of Cash Flow
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 and restricted cash decreased from $320.5 million at December 31, 2020 to $284.8 million at September 30, 2021. This decrease is cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reflects normal operations of the Company.

Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities was $51.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020. Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities for the nine months ended September 30, 2020 was primarily due to the purchase of property, plant and equipment of $48.5 million and the additional investment by the Company’s subsidiary ERIS in Yea-Shin of $6.1 million, bring ERIS’ ownership of Yea-Shin to approximately 99.5%. These outflows of cash were partially offset by net proceeds from the maturity of short-term investments of $1.9 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2020.
Financing Activities
Net cash and cash equivalents used in financing activities was $210.3 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2021. Net cash used in financing activities in the nine months ended September 30, 2021 consisted primarily of $201.2 million of net reductions in our debt and taxes paid on net share settlements of $14.7 million, partially offset by a capital contribution for a noncontrolling interest of $4.0 million.

Use of Derivative Instruments and Hedging
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.
Hedges of Interest Rate Risk
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 counterparty in exchange for the Company making fixed-rate payments over the life of the agreements without exchange of the underlying notional amount.
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 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 No. 815. The fair value of our foreign exchange hedges approximates zero.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not have any transactions, arrangements 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,
-30-
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.
Contractual Obligations
There have been no material changes in our Contractual Obligations as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2021.
Critical Accounting Policies
Our critical accounting policies are described in Item 7, Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, and in the notes to our consolidated financial statements contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2021. Any new accounting policies or updates to existing accounting policies as a result of new accounting pronouncements have been discussed in the notes to our condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q in Note 1 – Summary of Operations and Significant Accounting Policies. The application of our critical accounting policies may require management to make judgments and estimates about the amounts reflected in the condensed consolidated financial statements. Management uses historical experience and all available information to make these estimates and judgments, and different amounts could be reported using different assumptions and estimates.

Risk Factors
RISKS RELATED TO OUR BUSINESS
The ultimate impact of the COVID-19 pandemic outbreak cannot be estimated at this time, but it may have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.
During times of difficult market conditions, our fixed costs combined with lower net sales and lower profit margins may have a negative impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Downturns in the highly cyclical semiconductor industry or changes in end-market demand could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
The semiconductor business is highly competitive, and increased competition may harm our business, operating results and financial condition.
Delays in initiation of production at facilities due to implementing new production techniques or resolving problems associated with technical equipment malfunctions could adversely affect our manufacturing efficiencies, operating results and financial condition.
We are and will continue to be under continuous pressure from our customers and competitors to reduce the price of our products, which could adversely affect our growth and profit margins.
Our customers require our products to undergo a lengthy and expensive qualification process without any assurance of product sales and may demand to audit our operations from time to time. A failure to qualify a product or a negative audit finding could adversely affect our net sales, operating results and financial condition.
Production at our manufacturing facilities could be disrupted for a variety of reasons, including natural disasters and other extraordinary events, which could prevent us from producing enough of our products to maintain our sales and satisfy our customers’ demands and could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
New technologies could result in the development of new products by our competitors and a decrease in demand for our products, and we may not be able to develop new products to satisfy changes in demand, which would adversely affect our net sales, market share, operating results and financial condition.
We may be subject to claims of infringement of third-party intellectual property rights or demands that we license third-party technology, which could result in significant expense, reduction in our intellectual property rights and a negative impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.
We depend on third-party suppliers for timely deliveries of raw materials, manufacturing services, product and process development, parts and equipment, as well as finished products from other manufacturers, and our reputation with customers, operating results and financial condition could be adversely affected if we are unable to obtain adequate supplies in a timely manner.
If we do not succeed in continuing to vertically integrate our business, we will not realize the cost and other efficiencies we anticipate, which could adversely affect our ability to compete, our operating results and financial condition.
Part of our growth strategy involves identifying and acquiring companies. We may be unable to identify suitable acquisition candidates or consummate desired acquisitions and, if we do make any acquisitions, we may be unable to successfully integrate any acquired companies with our operations, which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
We are subject to litigation risks, including securities class action litigation and intellectual property litigation, which may be costly to defend and the outcome of which is uncertain and could adversely affect our business and financial condition.
We are subject to many environmental laws and regulations that could result in significant expenses and could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
We may incur additional costs and face emerging risks associated environmental, social and governance (“ESG”) factors impacting our operations.
Our products, or products we purchase from third parties for resale, may be found to be defective and, as a result, warranty claims and product liability claims may be asserted against us and we may not have recourse against our suppliers, which may harm our business, reputation with our customers, operating results and financial condition.
We may fail to attract or retain the qualified technical, sales, marketing, finance and management/executive personnel required to operate our business successfully, which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
We may not be able to achieve future growth, and any such growth may place a strain on our management and on our systems and resources, which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Obsolete inventories as a result of changes in demand for our products and change in life cycles of our products could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
-32-
If our direct sales customers or our distributors’ customers do not design our products into their applications, our net sales may be adversely affected.
We are subject to interest rate risk that could have an adverse effect on our cost of working capital and interest expenses, which could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
Our hedging strategies may not be successful in mitigating our risks associated with interest rates or foreign exchange exposure or our counterparties might not perform as agreed.
We may have a significant amount of debt with various financial institutions worldwide. Any indebtedness could adversely affect our business, operating results, financial condition and our ability to meet payment obligations under such debt.
Restrictions in our credit facilities may limit our business and financial activities, including our ability to obtain additional capital in the future.
Our business benefits from certain Chinese government incentives. Expiration of, or changes to, these incentives could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
We operate a global business through numerous foreign subsidiaries, and there is a risk that tax authorities will challenge our transfer pricing methodologies or legal entity structures, which could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
The value of our benefit plan assets and liabilities is based on estimates and assumptions, which may prove inaccurate and the actual amount of expenses recorded in the consolidated financial statements could differ materially from the assumptions used.
Changes in actuarial assumptions for our defined benefit plan could increase the volatility of the plan’s asset value, require us to increase cash contributions to the plan and have a negative impact on our cash flows, operating results and financial condition.
Certain of our customers and suppliers require us to comply with their codes of conduct, which may include certain restrictions that may substantially increase our cost of doing business as well as have an adverse effect on our operating efficiencies, operating results and financial condition.
Compliance with government regulations and customer demands regarding the use of “conflict minerals” may result in increased costs and may have a negative impact on our business, operating results and financial condition.
There are risks associated with previous and future acquisitions. We may ultimately not be successful in overcoming these risks or any other problems encountered in connection with acquisitions.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls or discover material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, we may not be able to report our financial results accurately or detect fraud, which could harm our business and the trading price of our Common Stock.
China has been experiencing electricity rationing, leading to higher electricity prices and which could lead to electricity curtailments
affecting our ability to operate our China-based manufacturing facilities.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS
Our international operations subject us to risks that could adversely affect our operations.
We have significant operations and assets in China, the U.K., Germany, Hong Kong and Taiwan and, as a result, will be subject to risks inherent in doing business in those jurisdictions, which may adversely affect our financial performance and operating results.
Significant uncertainties related to changes in governmental policies and participation in international trading partnerships or economic unions currently exist, and, depending upon how such uncertainties are resolved, the changes could have a material adverse effect on us.
Tariffs or other restrictions imposed by the United States Trade Representative may affect our operations in the U.S., may disrupt our activities in the U.S., may have an adverse impact on our profitability and results of 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.
The U.K.’s exit from the European Union will continue to have uncertain effects and could adversely impact our business, results of operations and financial condition.
A slowdown in the Chinese economy could limit the growth in demand for electronic devices containing our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and prospects.
Economic regulation in China could materially and adversely affect our business, operating results and prospects.
-33-
We could be adversely affected by violations of the United States’ Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, the U.K.’s Bribery Act 2010, China’s anti-corruption campaign and similar worldwide anti-bribery laws.
We are subject to foreign currency risk as a result of our international operations.
China is experiencing rapid social, political and economic change, which has increased labor costs and other related costs that could make doing business in China less advantageous than in prior years. Increased labor costs in China could adversely affect our business, operating results and financial condition.
We may not continue to receive preferential tax treatment in Asia, thereby increasing our income tax expense and reducing our net income.
The distribution of any earnings of certain foreign subsidiaries may be subject to foreign income taxes, thus reducing our net income.
We could be adversely affected by the compromise or theft of our technology, know-how, data or intellectual property or a requirement that we yield rights in technology, know-how, data stored in foreign jurisdictions or intellectual property that we use in such foreign jurisdictions.
RISKS RELATED TO OUR COMMON STOCK
Variations in our quarterly operating results may cause our stock price to be volatile.
We may enter into future acquisitions and take certain actions in connection with such acquisitions that could adversely affect the price of our Common Stock.
Our directors, executive officers and significant stockholders hold a substantial portion of our Common Stock, which may lead to conflicts with other stockholders over corporate transactions and other corporate matters.
We were formed in 1959, and our early corporate records are incomplete. As a result, we may have difficulty in assessing and defending against claims relating to rights to our Common Stock purporting to arise during periods for which our records are incomplete.
Non-cash tender offers, debt equity swaps or equity exchanges to consummate our business activities are likely to have the effect of diluting the ownership interest of existing stockholders, including qualified stockholders who receive shares of our Common Stock in such business activities.
Anti-takeover effects of certain provisions of Delaware law and our Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaws, may hinder a take-over attempt.
Section 203 of Delaware General Corporation Law may deter a take-over attempt.
Certificate of Incorporation and Bylaw Provisions may deter a take-over attempt.
GENERAL RISK FACTORS
The success of our business depends on the strength of the global economy and the stability of the financial markets, and any weaknesses in these areas may have a material adverse effect on our net sales, operating results and financial condition.
Production at our manufacturing facilities could be disrupted for a variety of reasons, including natural disasters and other extraordinary events, which could prevent us from producing enough of our products to maintain our sales and satisfy our customers’ demands and could adversely affect our operating results and financial condition.
We may be adversely affected by any disruption in our information technology systems, which could adversely affect our cash flows, operating results and financial condition.
Terrorist attacks, or threats or occurrences of other terrorist activities, whether in the U.S. or internationally, may affect the markets in which our Common Stock trades, the markets in which we operate and our operating results and financial condition.
System security risks, data protection breaches, cyber-attacks and other related cybersecurity issues could disrupt our internal operations, and any such disruption could reduce our expected net sales, increase our expenses, damage our reputation and adversely affect our stock price.
-34-
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.
There have been no material changes to our market risks as disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the SEC on February 22, 2021.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures.
Our Chief Executive Officer, Keh-Shew Lu, and Chief Financial Officer, Brett R. Whitmire, with the participation of our management, carried out an evaluation, as of September 30, 2021, 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 Quarterly Report is:
recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time period specified in the Commission’s rules and forms; and
accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions on required disclosure.
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.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
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 30, 2021, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
-35-
PART II—OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings.
The Company is not a party to any pending litigation that we consider material.
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 pending legal proceeding will not have any material adverse effect on our 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 our business and operating results for the period in which the ruling occurs or future periods.
Item 1A. Risk Factors.
There have been no material changes to our risk factors from those disclosed in the Risk Factors section of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2020, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on February 22, 2021, other than the additional risk factor below related to electricity demand in China referred to below..
China has been experiencing electricity rationing, leading to higher electricity prices and which could lead to electricity curtailments affecting our ability to operate our China-based manufacturing facilities.
Due to a shortage of coal to operate its coal-fueled power plants and high demand for Chinese manufactured goods that creates a higher demand for power, China has been experiencing power rationing and rising electricity prices. Continued shortages of electricity and/or rising electricity prices could lead to the Company not being able to operate its China-based manufacturing facilities at the level desired and/or could lead to the Company paying more for electricity in China. The inability to operate plants at desired capacity and/or an increase in electricity prices could adversely affect our cash flows, operating results and financial condition.
Item 2. Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds.
None.
Item 3. Defaults Upon Senior Securities.
None.
Item 4. Mine Safety Disclosures.
Not applicable.
Item 5. Other Information.
None.

PLEASE NOTE: It is inappropriate for investors to assume the accuracy of any covenants, representations or warranties that may be contained in agreements or other documents filed as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In certain instances the disclosure schedules to such agreements or documents contain information that modifies, qualifies and creates exceptions to the representations, warranties and covenants. Moreover, some of the representations and warranties may not be complete or accurate as of a particular date because they are subject to a contractual standard of materiality that is different from those generally applicable to stockholders and/or were used for the purpose of allocating risk among the parties rather than establishing certain matters as facts. Accordingly, you should not rely on the representations and warranties as characterizations of the actual state of facts at the time they were made or otherwise.
