TAIPEI -- Key iPhone assembler Foxconn on Thursday said it would ask affiliate Sharp to "adjust" its management team if the Japanese tech company failed to improve its operations after reporting a significant net loss and impairment.

Foxconn's net income in the first quarter fell 56% on the year, weighed down by headwinds at Sharp related to a sluggish display market.
