We cannot predict what further actions may ultimately be taken by the U.S. with respect to tariffs, export restrictions or other trade measures, what products or entities may be subject to such actions, or what actions may be taken by other countries in response to these U.S. actions.  Imposed tariffs may affect end-user demand in each geography where our customers sell their products and services, which may materially and adversely affect demand for our services, our operating results and our financial condition.

We also have significant facilities and other investments in Korea, and there have been heightened security concerns in recent years stemming from North Korea’s nuclear weapon and long-range missile programs as well as its military actions in the region.

Our business will suffer if we are not able to develop new proprietary technology, protect our proprietary technology and operate without infringing the proprietary rights of others.

The complexity and scope of semiconductor packaging, SiP modules and test services are rapidly increasing.  As a result, we expect to develop, acquire and implement new manufacturing processes and packaging technologies and tools in order to respond to competitive industry conditions and customer requirements.  Technological advances may lead to rapid and significant price erosion and may make our existing packages less competitive or our existing inventories obsolete.  If we cannot achieve advances in packaging design or obtain access to advanced packaging designs developed by others, our business could suffer.

The need to develop and maintain advanced packaging capabilities and equipment could require significant research and development, capital expenditures and acquisitions in future years.  In addition, converting to new packaging designs
