Basis of Presentation
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by the Company in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) and, therefore, do not include all information and notes normally provided in audited financial statements. The accounting policies are described in the “Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements” in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2026 fiscal year filed with the SEC on March 23, 2026 (the Form 10-K) and updated, as necessary, in this Form 10-Q. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data presented for comparative purposes was derived from audited financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring accruals and adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement have been included. The results of operations for any interim period are not necessarily indicative of, nor comparable to, the results of operations for any other interim period or for a full fiscal year. These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and related notes contained in the Form 10-K.
Basis of Consolidation
The Company’s fiscal year ends on January 31. The condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company and its subsidiaries have been prepared in conformity with U.S. GAAP. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated upon consolidation.
Significant Accounting Policies
There have been no material changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies described in Note 1, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies, of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2026.
Concentration of Risk
The Company’s products are manufactured, assembled and tested by third-party contractors located primarily in Asia. The Company does not have long-term agreements with these contractors. A significant disruption in the operations of one or more of these contractors would impact the production of the Company’s products which could have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition and results of operations.
A substantial portion of the Company’s revenue is derived from sales through two of its distributors, WT Microelectronics Co., Ltd., formerly Wintech Microelectronics Co., Ltd., or WT, which serves as its non-exclusive sales representative and fulfillment partner in Asia other than Japan, and Hakuto Co., Ltd., or Hakuto, a Japanese distributor. Termination of the relationships with these customers could result in a temporary or permanent loss of revenue. Furthermore, any credit issues from these customers could impair their abilities to make timely payment to the Company. See Note 15 for additional information regarding revenue and credit concentration with these customers.
Financial instruments that potentially subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash, cash equivalents, marketable debt securities and accounts receivable. The Company maintains its cash primarily in checking accounts with reputable financial institutions. Cash deposits held with these financial institutions may exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses on deposits of its cash. In order to limit the exposure of each investment, the cash equivalents and marketable debt securities consist primarily of money market funds, fixed deposits, commercial paper, corporate bonds, asset-backed securities and U.S. government securities which management assesses to be highly liquid. The Company does not hold or issue financial instruments for trading purposes.
The Company performs ongoing credit evaluation of its customers and adjusts credit limits based upon payment history and customers’ credit worthiness. The Company regularly monitors collections and payments from its customers.
Restricted Cash
The restricted cash primarily consists of a Letter of Credit of approximately $0.4 million with a financial institution as collateral for the security deposit on its office lease located in Santa Clara, California, as well as those amounts required to be set aside to secure certain transactions in a foreign entity. The following table presents cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash reported on the condensed consolidated balance sheets, and the totals are presented on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows:
| As of | ||||

Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In November 2024, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) 2024-03, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income - Expense Disaggregation Disclosures (Subtopic 220-40): Disaggregation of Income Statement Expenses. This new guidance requires public entities to provide disaggregated disclosures, in the notes to the financial statements, of certain categories of expenses that are included in expense line items on the face of the income statement. The ASU may be applied prospectively or retrospectively and is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2026 and for interim periods beginning after December 15, 2027. Early adoption is permitted. The Company expects to adopt this new guidance in its fiscal period ending January 31, 2028. The Company expects that such adoption will only have an impact on its financial disclosures and does not believe it will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.
In July 2025, the FASB issued ASU 2025-05, Financial Instruments — Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses for Accounts Receivable and Contract Assets. This new guidance simplifies the estimation of credit losses on current accounts receivable and current contract assets arising from transactions accounted for under Accounting Standards Codification (ASC) 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, and allows all entities to elect a practical expedient to assume that the current conditions as of the balance sheet date will remain unchanged for the remaining life of the asset when developing a reasonable and supportable forecast as part of estimating expected credit losses on these assets. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2025, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company adopted this new guidance and elected the practical expedient in its first quarter of fiscal year 2027. The adoption did not result in a material impact on its consolidated financial statements and disclosures.
- Financial Instruments and Fair Value

| Total cash equivalents and marketable debt securities | $194,000 | $182,552 |
The unrealized gains and losses on the available-for-sale securities were primarily caused by fluctuations in market value and interest rates as a result of the economic environment. The Company estimates the expected losses at an individual security level whenever a security’s fair value is below its amortized cost basis using the discounted cash flow method. The credit-related portion of the loss is recognized in other income, net in the condensed consolidated statements of operations but is limited to the difference between the fair value and the amortized cost basis of the security, adjusted for accrued interest. The non-credit-related portion of the loss is recognized in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. The credit-related losses were not material for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026 and 2025, respectively. The accrued interest on available-for-sale securities is included in marketable debt securities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. As of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, the accrued interest was approximately $1.6 million and $1.0 million, respectively.
The following fair value hierarchy is applied for disclosure of the inputs used to measure fair value. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels as follows:
Level 1—Inputs are unadjusted quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the assets or liabilities, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the financial instruments.
Level 3—Unobservable inputs based on the Company’s own assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. The inputs require significant management judgment or estimation.
The Company measures the fair value of money market funds and fixed deposits using quoted prices in active markets for identical assets and classifies them within Level 1. The fair value of the Company’s investments in other debt securities are obtained based on quoted prices for similar assets in active markets and are classified within Level 2.
The following tables present the fair value of the financial instruments measured on a recurring basis as of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively:

- Income Taxes
The following table provides details of income taxes for the periods indicated:
| Three Months Ended July 31, | Six Months Ended July 31, | |||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2026 | 2025 | 2026 | 2025 | |

| Provision for income taxes | 352 | 253 | 1,112 | 898 |
| Effective tax rate | (5.6)% | (1.3)% | (4.7)% | (2.1)% |
The increases in income tax expense for the three and six months ended July 31, 2026, as compared to the same periods in the prior fiscal year, were primarily due to decreases in loss before income taxes in the current fiscal year.
The Company files federal and state income tax returns in the United States and in various foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s fiscal years 2023 through 2026 are generally open and subject to potential examination by U.S. federal tax authorities. The Company’s fiscal years 2022 through 2026 are generally open and subject to potential examination by state tax authorities. The Company’s fiscal years 2019 to 2026 remain open to examination by foreign tax authorities. Fiscal years outside of the normal statute of limitations remain open to audit by tax authorities due to tax attributes generated in those earlier years, which have been carried forward and may be audited in subsequent years when utilized.
The Company regularly assesses the likelihood of adverse outcomes resulting from potential tax examinations to determine the adequacy of its provision for income taxes. These assessments can require considerable estimates and judgments. As of July 31, 2026, the gross amount of unrecognized tax benefits was approximately $18.9 million. If the estimates of income tax liabilities prove to be less than the ultimate assessment, then a further charge to expense could be required. If events occur, and the payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the reversal of the liabilities could result in tax benefits being recognized in the period in which the Company determines the liabilities are no longer necessary.
- Commitments and Contingencies
Contract Manufacturer Commitments
The Company’s components and products are procured and built by independent contract manufacturers based on sales forecasts. These forecasts include estimates of future demand, historical trends, analysis of sales and marketing activities, and adjustment of overall market conditions. The Company regularly issues purchase orders to independent contract manufacturers which are cancelable upon agreement between the Company and third-party manufacturers. These manufacturing purchase commitments typically provide the Company with flexibility to cancel, reschedule or adjust requirements based upon business needs but the Company may incur certain costs depending on the production stage of the products. As of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, total manufacturing purchase commitments were approximately $49.0 million and $80.4 million, respectively. On a quarterly basis, the Company also reviews and assesses the need for any expected loss liabilities for products that it does not expect to sell for which it has committed purchases from suppliers and records the liabilities in accrued and other current liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. There wereno material loss liabilities recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets from adverse purchase commitments as of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively.
Other Commitments
There have been no material changes to other commitments as compared to the other commitments described in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2026 fiscal year filed with the SEC on March 23, 2026.
Indemnification
The Company, from time to time, in the normal course of business, indemnifies certain vendors with whom it enters into contractual relationships. The Company has agreed to hold the other party harmless against third-party claims in connection with the Company’s future products. The Company also indemnifies certain customers against third-party claims related to certain intellectual property and product liability matters. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount of liability under these indemnification obligations due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances that are likely to be involved in each particular claim. The Company hasnot made payments under these obligations as of July 31, 2026, andno liabilities have been recorded for these obligations in the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, respectively.
Other Matters
From time to time, the Company is subject to commercial disputes, employment issues, intellectual property claims and litigation, in the ordinary course of its business. Although the ultimate disposition of asserted claims cannot be predicted with certainty, it is the Company’s belief that the outcome of any such claims, either individually or on a combined basis, will not have a material adverse effect on its consolidated financial position. The results of any litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, and regardless of the outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense and settlement costs, diversion of management resources, and other factors. As of July 31, 2026 and January 31, 2026, there wereno accruals for contingent liabilities related to such matters recorded in the condensed consolidated balance sheets.
- Segment Reporting
The Company operates asa single operating and reportable segment and derives substantially all of its revenue from development and sales of low-power AI-based processing and video and image processing SoC solutions. In determining the reportable segment, the Company considers the research and development deployed, the nature of the production process, the distribution channels of SoCs, as well as the Company’s management structure. The Chief Executive Officer of the Company has been identified as the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the CODM) and manages the Company’s operations as a whole. The CODM uses net loss presented on a consolidated basis to evaluate the financial performance and allocate resources. The CODM also monitors budget versus actual results of the operating segment. The measure of reportable segment assets is reported within the condensed consolidated balance sheets as total assets. The accounting policies for the measurement of net loss and total assets of the reportable segment are described in the Note 1, Organization and Summary of Significant Accounting Policiesof the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the 2026 fiscal year filed with the SEC on March 23, 2026.
