Prosecutors raided the company's headquarters and key staff residences. Phison Chairman Pua Khein-seng was released on NT$20 million bail and banned from traveling overseas after being questioned by prosecutors. The news surprised industry insiders, and Pua gave a media statement on Aug.7. ==KHEIN-SENG PUA, Chairman, Phison Electronics== All I can say is that every cent of our revenue is legitimate profit. Phison Electronics did not cook the books and will never jeopardize the interest of our shareholders and employees. Pua stated that three overseas subsidiaries were established for the benefit of Phison Electronics. Shareholder interest was never jeopardized in company transactions. However, he also said that Phison may have crossed regulatory lines in certain transactions, and the company will cooperate fully with the investigation. When pressed for further detail, he declined to comment on the grounds of the ongoing investigation. ==KHEIN-SENG PUA, Chairman, Phison Electronics== We will provide any relevant information to prosecutors to clarify the facts. I did not gain any improper benefits from these transactions or embezzle any company funds. Prosecutors suspect that Pua and others manipulated the company's financial statements by selling parent company products to its subsidiaries and then showing false transactions to inflate company revenue. They also failed to disclose material information in Phison's financial statements. Their actions may constitute an infringement of shareholder interest and violate the Securities Exchange Act.
