ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION ORGANIZATION AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
On May 6, 2021, Navitas Semiconductor Limited, a private company limited by shares organized under the laws of Ireland (“Navitas Ireland”) and domesticated in the State of Delaware as Navitas Semiconductor Ireland, LLC, a Delaware limited liability company (“Navitas Delaware” and, together with Navitas Ireland, “Legacy Navitas”), entered into a business combination agreement and plan of reorganization (the “Business Combination Agreement” or “BCA”) with Live Oak Acquisition Corp. II, a Delaware corporation (“Live Oak”). Pursuant to the BCA, among other transactions consummated on October 19, 2021 (collectively, the “Business Combination”), Live Oak acquired all of the capital stock of Navitas Ireland (other than the Navitas Ireland Restricted Shares, as defined below) by means of a tender offer, and a wholly owned subsidiary of Live Oak merged with and into Navitas Delaware, with Navitas Delaware surviving the merger. As a result, Legacy Navitas became a wholly owned subsidiary of Live Oak effective October 19, 2021. At the closing of the Business Combination, Live Oak changed its name to Navitas Semiconductor Corporation.
References to the “Company” in these financial statements refer to Legacy Navitas and its predecessors before the consummation of the Business Combination, or to Navitas Semiconductor Corporation after the Business Combination, as the context suggests.
The Company was founded in 2013 and has since been developing ultra-efficient gallium nitride (GaN) semiconductors. The Company presently operates as a product design house that contracts the manufacturing of its chips and packaging to partner suppliers. Navitas maintains its operations around the world, including the United States, Hong Kong, China, Taiwan and the Philippines.
Reorganization
Navitas Semiconductor USA, Inc. (f/k/a Navitas Semiconductor, Inc., “Navitas U.S.”) was incorporated in the State of Delaware on October 25, 2013. In 2020 Navitas U.S. initiated a restructuring to streamline its worldwide legal entity structure and more efficiently align its business operations (the “Restructuring”). The Restructuring introduced wholly owned subsidiaries in Hong Kong and China as well as the addition of Legacy Navitas, an entity registered in Ireland and the U.S., as the parent of Navitas U.S. and the other Navitas subsidiaries. In connection with the Restructuring, effective September 1, 2020, Legacy Navitas acquired certain intellectual property and other intangible assets from Navitas U.S. and, after the Restructuring, contracts directly with customers. The transfer of intellectual property and other intangible assets by Navitas U.S. to Legacy Navitas in connection with the Restructuring was among entities within the same consolidated group and, as a result, did not result in any gain or loss to the Company. Legacy Navitas is treated as a corporation for U.S. federal income tax purposes and is a tax resident in both Ireland and the United States. See Note 13.
Business combination
Pursuant to the terms of the BCA, the Business Combination was consummated (the “Closing”) on October 19, 2021 (the Closing Date”) by means of (i) a tender offer to acquire the entire issued share capital of Navitas Ireland (other than Navitas Ireland Restricted Shares (as defined below)) in exchange for the Tender Offer Consideration (as defined below) (the “Tender Offer”) and (ii) the merger of a wholly owned subsidiary of Live Oak (“Merger Sub”) with and into Navitas Delaware (the “Merger”), with Navitas Delaware surviving the Merger.
A total of 72,143,708 Navitas Ireland Shares were validly tendered (and not withdrawn) pursuant to the Tender Offer. The “Tender Offer Consideration” for all outstanding ordinary shares of Navitas Ireland, par value of $0.0001 per share (the “Navitas Ireland Common Shares”) (other than the outstanding restricted Navitas Ireland Common Shares granted pursuant to the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Navitas Ireland Restricted Shares”)), and all Navitas Ireland Series A Preferred Shares, Navitas Ireland Series B Preferred Shares, Navitas Ireland Series B-1 Preferred Shares and Navitas Ireland Series B-2 Preferred Shares (the “Navitas Ireland Preferred Shares” and together with the Navitas Ireland Common Shares, the “Navitas Ireland Shares”) accepted pursuant to the Tender Offer, was comprised of (i) the aggregate offer price of 39,477,026 shares (the “Tender Shares”) of the Company’s Class A Common Stock, par value $0.0001 per share (the “Common Stock”), and (ii) the contingent right to receive during the five-year period following the Closing, but excluding the first 150 days following the Closing (the “Earnout Period”), certain additional shares of Common Stock as specified in the BCA (the “Tender Earnout Shares”), which, together with the Merger Earnout Shares (as defined below)
and certain shares of Common Stock that may become issuable to equity award holders, will be comprised of up to 10,000,000 additional shares of Common Stock in the aggregate (the “Earnout Shares”), in three equal tranches, upon the satisfaction of certain price targets for the Common Stock set forth in the BCA, which price targets will be based upon the volume-weighted average closing sale price of one share of Common Stock quoted on the Nasdaq Global Market (“NASDAQ”), for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period within the Earnout Period.
At the effective time of the Merger (the “Effective Time”) all of the issued and outstanding limited liability company interests represented by the ordinary shares of Navitas Delaware, par value $0.0001 per share (each a “Navitas Delaware Common Share”) (other than the outstanding restricted Navitas Delaware Common Shares granted pursuant to the 2020 Equity Incentive Plan (the “Navitas Delaware Restricted Shares”)) and each Navitas Delaware Series A Preferred Share, Navitas Delaware Series B Preferred Share, Navitas Delaware Series B-1 Preferred Share and Navitas Delaware Series B-2 Preferred Share (collectively, the “Navitas Delaware Preferred Shares” and together with the Navitas Delaware Common Shares, the “Navitas Delaware Shares”), were converted into an aggregate of 39,477,026 shares of Common Stock (the “Merger Shares”) and (ii) the contingent right to receive during the Earnout Period certain additional shares of Common Stock as specified in the BCA (the “Merger Earnout Shares”), in three equal tranches, upon the satisfaction of certain price targets for the Common Stock set forth in the Business Combination Agreement, which price targets will be based upon the volume-weighted average closing sale price of one share of Common Stock quoted on the NASDAQ, for any twenty (20) trading days within any thirty (30) consecutive trading day period within the Earnout Period. See note (9) for additional information.
In connection with the BCA, in a private placement of its securities, Live Oak entered into Private Investment in Public Equity (“PIPE”) subscription agreements with certain third-party investors (the “PIPE Investors”), pursuant to which the PIPE Investors agreed to purchase, and Live Oak agreed to sell to the PIPE Investors, an aggregate of 17,300,000 shares of Common Stock (the “PIPE Shares”), for a purchase price of $10.00 per share and an aggregate purchase price of $173.0 million. The PIPE Shares were issued concurrently with the Closing of the Business Combination on the Closing Date.
Live Oak held a special meeting of its stockholders on October 12, 2021 (the “Special Meeting”). At the Special Meeting, Live Oak stockholders considered and adopted, among other matters, the BCA. Prior to the Special Meeting, the holders of 10,135,544 shares of Live Oak’s common stock sold in its initial public offering (the “Public Shares”) exercised their right to redeem those shares for cash at a price of approximately $10.00 per share, for an aggregate redemption price of approximately $101.4 million, which redemption occurred concurrent with the Closing of the Business Combination. The per share redemption price of approximately $10.00 for holders of Public Shares electing redemption was paid out of Live Oak’s trust account, which, after taking into account the redemptions, had a balance immediately prior to the Closing of approximately $152 million.

•    all of the units of Live Oak, which were previously issued in connection with Live Oak’s December 2020 initial public offering and consisting of one share of Live Oak Class A common stock and one-third (1/3) of one warrant to purchase one share of Live Oak Class A common stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share, were separated into one share of Common Stock and one-third (1/3) of one warrant to purchase one share of Common Stock at an exercise price of $11.50 per share (the “Public Warrants”);

Basis of Presentation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements are prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company, its wholly owned or majority-owned subsidiaries and entities in which the Company is deemed to have a direct or indirect controlling financial interest based on either a variable interest model or voting interest model. All intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The Business Combination was accounted for as a reverse recapitalization, in accordance with GAAP. Under this method of accounting, although Live Oak issued shares for outstanding equity interests of Legacy Navitas in the Business Combination, Live Oak was treated as the “acquired” company for financial reporting purposes. Accordingly, the Business Combination was treated as the equivalent of Legacy Navitas issuing stock for the net assets of Live Oak, accompanied by a recapitalization. The net assets of Live Oak were stated at historical cost, with no goodwill or other intangible assets recorded. Operations prior to the Business Combination are those of Navitas.
For all periods presented, unless stated otherwise, references to Legacy Navitas common shares and options for common shares outstanding before the Closing and related per share amounts have been retroactively restated to give effect to the reverse recapitalization, specifically, the Exchange Ratio of 1.0944 shares to 1 at Closing. References to share quantities for Legacy Navitas convertible preferred stock and warrants related to balances or activity before the Closing reflect the historical quantities and are not adjusted for the Exchange Ratio.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods.
On an ongoing basis, management evaluates the assumptions used in making estimates, including those related to (i) the collectability of accounts receivable; (ii) write-down for excess and obsolete inventory; (iii) warranty obligations; (iv) the value assigned to and estimated useful lives of long-lived assets; (v) the realization of tax assets and estimates of tax liabilities and tax reserves; (vi) recoverability of intangible assets; (vii) the computation of share-based compensation; (viii) accrued compensation and other expenses; and (ix) the recognition of revenue. These estimates are based on historical data and experience, as well as various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The Company engages third-party valuation specialists to assist with estimates related to the valuation of stock options, restricted common stock awards, Earnout Shares and warrants. Such estimates often require the selection of appropriate valuation methodologies and models, and significant judgment in evaluating ranges of assumptions and financial inputs. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
