Key risks (from latest filing)
["Heavy concentration in Asia (77% of Q1 2026 revenue) creates exposure to geopolitical tensions, trade policy changes, and tariffs between US and China","Customer concentration risk: top 10 customers account for 56% of revenue, with largest customer at 13%, creating dependency on design win cycles and winning competitive bids","Unprofitable with negative net margin (-25.96% as of reporting date), dependent on scaling revenue and managing operating expenses as the company invests in R&D for advanced process nodes"]
