periods presented, as well as pre-production costs relating to the chongqing joint venture for the three and six months ended december 31, 2018. a detailed reconciliation of gaap and non-gaap financial measures is included at the end of this press release. financial results for fiscal q2 ended december 31, 2019 revenue was $117.9 million, flat quarter-over-quarter and an increase of 2.6% from the same quarter last year. gaap gross margin was 20.7%. non-gaap gross margin was 28.3%, flat quarter-over-quarter and a decrease of 90 basis points year-over-year. gaap operating expenses were $27.8 million. non-gaap operating expenses were $25.7 million, flat from last quarter and an increase of $0.6 million from the same quarter last year. gaap operating loss was $3.4 million. non-gaap operating income was $7.6 million as compared to $7.7 million for the prior quarter and $8.5 million for the same quarter last year. gaap net loss per share attributable to aos was $0.04. non-gaap earnings per share attributable to aos was $0.23 compared to $0.26 for the prior quarter and $0.30 for the same quarter a year ago. consolidated cash flow provided by operating activities was $8.9 million, compared to cash flow used in operating activities of $1.2 million last quarter. operating cash flow provided by aos alone was $12.5 million, compared to $4.2 million cash flow used in the prior quarter. the company closed the quarter with $107.2 million of cash and cash equivalents, including $21.1 million cash balance at the jv company. “despite the challenging conditions, we remained focused and continued to execute well during the december quarter. overall, our results came in within the expectations, and aos's core business generated strong operating cash flow,” stated dr. mike chang, chairman and ceo of aos. the company notes that department of justice recently commenced an investigation into the company’s compliance with export control regulations relating to certain business transactions with huawei and its affiliates (“huawei”), which were added to the “entity list” by the department of commerce (“doc”). the company is cooperating fully with federal authorities in the investigation. the company has maintained an export control compliance program and has been committed to comply fully with all applicable laws and regulations. in connection with this investigation, doc has requested the company to suspend shipments of its products to huawei, and the company is currently working with doc to resolve this issue. accordingly, we expect the financial performance in the march quarter will be negatively impacted by the huawei shipment interruption and by additional professional fees incurred in connection with the investigation. we note that the doc order applies to only our shipment to huawei and sales to other non-huawei customers are expected to continue, unaffected by the order. since this is a pending and confidential matter, the company does not intend to comment further on the status of this investigation except as required by law. dr chang continues “while we expect weaker than normal seasonality in our business during the march quarter due to the estimated production loss in china caused by the coronavirus outbreak and the suspension of shipments to huawei, our momentum in design wins and market share gains at multiple customers continues to build across our key market segments. with added capacity at our chongqing joint venture this year, we look forward to better supporting our multiple global oem and odm customers across mobile, pc and home appliance applications to bring up their production volumes toward peak season. we remain encouraged by the opportunities ahead of us and are fully committed to moving forward with our growth plans and navigating the headwinds and volatility we are facing in the near-term.” business outlook for fiscal q3 ending march 31, 2020 the following statements are based on management's current expectations. these statements are forward-looking, and actual results may differ materially. aos undertakes no obligation to update these statements. based on this development and the estimated production loss in china due to the coronavirus outbreak and extended chinese new year holiday, our expectations for the third quarter of fiscal year 2020 are as follows: revenue is expected to be between $106 million and $110 million. we estimate that the loss of production due to the coronavirus outbreak and extended chinese new year holiday will reduce revenue by $6 million to $7 million for the march quarter, based on the information we have as of today. the interruption of shipments to huawei is expected to reduce revenue for the march quarter by approximately $4 million to $5 million. gaap gross margin is expected to be approximately 17.3% plus or minus 1%. non-gaap gross margin is expected to be approximately 26.0% plus or minus 1%. note that non-gaap gross margin excludes $0.4 million of estimated share-based compensation and $8.5 million of estimated production ramp-up costs relating to the jv company. gaap operating expenses is expected to be in the range of $29.0 million plus or minus $1 million. non-gaap operating expenses are expected to be in the range of $25.5 million plus or minus $1 million. both gaap and non-gaap operating expenses include $3.0 million to $3.3 million of estimated expenses relating to the development of our digital power controller business. non-gaap operating expenses exclude $1.0 million to $2.0 million of estimated professional fee related to the government investigation and $2.0 million of estimated share-based compensation charge. tax expense is expected to be approximately $0.4 million to $0.6 million. loss attributable to noncontrolling interest is expected to be around $4.7 million. on a non-gaap basis, excluding estimated production ramp-up costs relating to the jv company, this item is expected to be approximately $0.3 million. conference call and webcast aos plans to hold an investor teleconference and live webcast to discuss the financial results for the fiscal second quarter of

we disclose certain non-gaap financial measures for our historical performance, including non-gaap gross profit, gross margin, operating income (loss), net loss attributable to noncontrolling interest, net income (loss) and diluted earnings per share ("eps"). these supplemental measures exclude share-based compensation expenses and production ramp up costs for all periods presented, as well pre-production expenses related to the jv company for the three and six months ended december 31, 2018. we also disclose certain non-gaap financial measures in our guidance for the next quarter, including non-gaap gross margin, operating expenses and loss attributable to noncontrolling interest. these forecast supplemental measures exclude estimated pre-production expenses and production ramp-up costs relating to our jv company and estimated share-based compensation expenses. we believe that these historical and forecast non-gaap financial measures can provide useful information to both management and investors by excluding certain items and expenses that are not indicative of our core operating results or do not reflect our normal business operations. in addition, our management uses non-gaap measures to compare our performance relative to forecasts and to benchmark our performance externally against competitors. our use of non-gaap financial measures has certain limitations in that the non-gaap financial measures we use may not be directly comparable to those reported by other companies. for example, the terms used in this press release, such as non-gaap net income (loss) or non-gaap operating expenses, do not have a standardized meaning. other companies may use the same or similarly named measures, but exclude different items, which may not provide investors with a comparable view of our performance in relation to other companies. we seek to compensate for the limitation of our non-gaap presentation by providing a detailed reconciliation of the non-gaap financial measures to the most directly comparable u.s. gaap measures both in the text in this press release and in the tables attached hereto. investors are encouraged to review the related u.s. gaap financial measures and the reconciliation of these non-gaap financial measures to their most directly comparable u.s. gaap financial measures. about alpha and omega semiconductor alpha and
