ITEM 4. INFORMATION ON THE COMPANY History and Development of the Company Deswell Industries, Inc. was founded in 1987 in Hong Kong and moved its manufacturing operations to China in 1990 to take advantage of lower overhead cost, competitive labor rate and tax concessions available in Shenzhen, China as compared with Hong Kong. We were incorporated in December 1993 as a limited liability International Business Company under the British Virgin Islands International Business Companies Act, 1984 (the “IBC Act”). Effective on January 1, 2007, the BVI repealed the IBC Act, and simultaneously with such repeal, we were automatically re-registered under the BVI’s corporate law replacing the IBC Act, the BVI Business Companies Act, 2004 (the “BVI BC Act”). The Company’s registered agent in the BVI is Harneys Corporate Services Limited, P.O. Box 71, Craigmuir Chambers, Road Town, Tortola, British Virgin Islands.
