The parties involved in the lawsuit have currently reached a compromise, but
the Company has not yet fulfilled its obligation.
(5) In July 2013, a US company N filed a lawsuit against the Company and its US
subsidiary for overstated advertising on Wi-Fi router products, unfair
competition and violation of FCC regulations. The lawsuit or investigation is
currently under investigation in a Northern California court. The Company
cannot presently determine the ultimate outcome of this lawsuit, but has
already recognized the possible loss in the books.
(6) A plaintiff filed a criminal with civil suit against the Company and its
subsidiary, ASMEDIA, for infringement of patents. On August 30, 2012 and
April 16, 2013, the Intellectual Property Rights Police Team (IPRP) has
searched ASMEDIA office and executed seizure of related evidence. The
lawsuit is currently under examination in Taiwan Taipei District Court.
ASMEDIA has appointed the attorney to deal with the cases through the legal
process and go ~50~ through subsequent related matters and to cooperate with
authority investigation. ASMEDIA cannot presently determine the effect, but
the Company and ASMEDIA expect the above cases have no material effect
on their operating and financial position.
