NOTES TO THE UNAUDITED INTERIM CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
CYBEROPTICS CORPORATION
1. INTERIM REPORTING:
The interim condensed consolidated financial statements of CyberOptics Corporation ("we", "us" or "our") presented herein as of March 31,September 30, 2019, and for the three and nine month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, are unaudited but, in the opinion of management, include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary, for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented.
The results of operations for the three and nine month periods ended March 31,September 30, 2019 do not necessarily indicate the results to be expected for the full year. The December 31, 2018 consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.America ("U.S. GAAP"). The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with our consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
2. RECENT ACCOUNTING DEVELOPMENTS:
In February 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued new lease accounting guidance, ASU 2016-02, Leases (also referred to as Topic 842), which we adopted on January 1, 2019. Under Topic 842, at the commencement date, lessees are required (a) to recognize a lease liability, which is a lessee's obligation to make lease payments arising from a lease, measured on a discounted basis, and (b) to record a right-of-use asset, which is an asset that represents the lessee’s right to use, or control the use of, a specified asset for the lease term. In July 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-11, Leases (Topic 842), Targeted Improvements, which gave companies the option of applying the new standard at the adoption date, rather than retrospectively to the earliest period presented in the financial statements, with recognition of a cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings in the period of adoption. We choosechose the option to apply the new standard at the adoption date, and therefore we were not required to restate the financial statements for prior periods, nor are we required to provide the disclosures required by Topic 842 for prior periods. Upon adoption of Topic 842, we recognized an approximate $2.6 million right-of-use asset, and an approximate $3.2 million lease liability. Our previously recognized liability for lease incentives recorded under prior accounting standards was eliminated. The cumulative-effect adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings related to our adoption of Topic 842 was inconsequential. Our adoption of Topic 842 did not impact our cash flows or have a material impact on our results of operations. We have expanded our consolidated financial statement disclosures to comply with the requirements of Topic 842.
In February 2018, the FASB issued ASU 2018-02, Reclassification of Tax Effects from Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income ("ASU 2018-02"), which allows an entity to elect an option to reclassify the stranded tax effects related to the application of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (the TCJA)"TCJA") from accumulated other comprehensive income or loss to retained earnings. ASU 2018-02 was effective January 1, 2019 and cancould be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to all applicable periods. We did not elect to reclassify the stranded tax effects related to the application of the TCJA from accumulated other comprehensive loss to retained earnings.
In January 2017, the FASB issued guidance on simplifying the test for goodwill impairment, ASU 2017-04, Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment ("ASU 2017-04"). Under ASU 2017-04, goodwill impairment would be measured as the amount by which a reporting unit’s carrying value exceeds its fair value, but not in an amount in excess of the carrying value of goodwill. The new standard eliminates the requirement to determine goodwill impairment by calculating the implied fair value of goodwill by hypothetically assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all of its assets and liabilities as if that reporting unit had been acquired in a business combination. ASU 2017-04 is to be applied prospectively to impairment tests beginning January 1, 2020, with early adoption permitted. We are currently evaluating when we will adopt ASU 2017-04 and do not expect the adoption to have a material impact on our consolidated financial statements.

Contract Balances
Contract assets consist of unbilled amounts from sales where we recognize the revenue over time and the revenue recognized exceeds the amount billed to the customer at a point in time. Accounts receivable are recorded when the right to payment becomes unconditional. Contract liabilities consist of payments received in advance of performance under the contract. Contract liabilities are recognized as revenue when we perform under the contract.
The following summarizes our contract assets and contract liabilities:

Changes in contract assets in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2018 resulted from unbilled amounts under sensor product arrangements and longer duration 3D3D scanning service projects in which revenue is recognized over time. Changes in contract liabilities primarily resulted from reclassification of beginning contract liabilities to revenue as performance obligations were satisfied or from cash received in advance and not recognized as revenue. See Note 8 for changes in contractual obligations related to deferred warranty revenue. Unsatisfied performance obligations are generally expected to be recognized as revenue over the next one to three years. There were no0 impairment losses for contract assets in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018.or the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

Our investments inThe marketable debt securities in which we have invested all have maturities of less than five years. Net pre-tax unrealized gains for marketable debt securities of$4,000 $75,000 at March 31,September 30, 2019 and net pre-tax losses for marketable debt securities of $54,000 at December 31, 2018 have been recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss in stockholders’ equity. We have determined that the net pre-tax unrealized losses for marketable debt securities at March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 were caused by fluctuations in interest rates and are temporary in nature. We review our marketable debt securities to identify and evaluate investments that have indications of possible impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which the fair value of the investment has been less than the cost basis, the credit quality of the investment and our ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value. NoNaN marketable securities were sold in the three or nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019..

5. FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS:
We determine the fair value of our assets and liabilities based on the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid to transfer a liability (exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. Valuation techniques used to measure fair value maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs. We use a fair value hierarchy with three levels of inputs, of which the first two are considered observable and the last is considered unobservable, to measure fair value. The fair value hierarchy gives the highest priority to quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities (Level 1). The next highest priority is based on quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets or quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in non-active markets or other observable inputs (Level 2). The lowest priority is given to unobservable inputs (Level 3). The following provides information regarding fair value measurements for our marketable securities as of March 31,September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018 according to the three-level fair value hierarchy:

The fair value for our U.S. government and agency obligations, corporate debt securities and certificates of deposit and asset backed securities are determined based on valuations provided by external investment managers, which obtain the valuations from a variety of industry standard data providers. The fair value for our equity security is based on a quoted market price obtained from an active market.
6. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION:
We have three3 share-based compensation plans that are administered by the Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors. We have (a) an Employee Stock Incentive Plan for officers, other employees, consultants and independent contractors under which we have granted options and restricted stock units to officers and other employees, (b) an Employee Stock Purchase Plan under which shares of our common stock may be acquired by employees at discounted prices, and (c) a Non-Employee Director Stock Plan that provides for automatic grants of restricted shares of our common stock to non-employee directors. New shares of our common stock are issued upon stock option exercises, vesting of restricted stock units, issuances of shares to board members and issuances of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan.
Employee Stock Incentive Plan
As of March 31,September 30, 2019, there were 273,014273,764 shares of common stock reserved in the aggregate for issuance pursuant to future awards under our Employee Stock Incentive Plan and 540,378524,428 shares of common stock reserved in the aggregate for issuance pursuant to outstanding awards under our Employee Stock Incentive Plan.such plan. Although our Compensation Committee has authority to issue options, restricted stock, restricted stock units, share grants and other share-based benefits under our Employee Stock Incentive Plan, to date only restricted stock units and stock options have been granted under the plan. Options have been granted at an option price per share equal to the market value of our common stock on the date of grant, vest over a four year period and expire seven years after the date of grant. Restricted stock units vest over a four year period and entitle the holders to one1 share of our common stock for each restricted stock unit. Reserved shares underlying outstanding awards, including options and restricted stock units, that are forfeited are available under the Employee Stock Incentive Plan for future grant.
Non-Employee Director Stock Plan
As of March 31,September 30, 2019, there were 60,00052,000 shares of common stock reserved in the aggregate for issuance pursuant to future restricted share grants under our Non-Employee Director Stock Plan and 16,000 shares of common stock reserved in the aggregate for issuance pursuant to outstanding stock option awards under our Non-Employee Director Stock Plan (which previously authorized the granting of stock options to non-employee directors). Under the terms of the plan, each non-employee director receives annual restricted share grants of 2,000 shares of our common stock on the date of each annual meeting at which such director is elected to serve on the board. The annual restricted share grants of common stock vest in four4 equal quarterly installments during the year after the grant date, provided the non-employee director is still serving as a director on the applicable vesting date.
On the date of our 20182019 annual meeting, we issued a total of 8,000 shares of our common stock to our non-employee directors, which were restricted as specified in the Non-Employee Director Stock Plan. The shares had an aggregate fair market value on the date of grant equal to $130,000$138,000 (grant date fair value of $16.25$17.26 per share). As of March 31,September 30, 2019, 6,0002,000 of these shares were vested. The aggregate fair value of the outstanding6,000 unvested shares based on the closing price of our common stock on March 31,September 30, 2019 was $34,000.$86,000.

Warranty costs:
We provide for the estimated cost of product warranties, which cover products for periods ranging from one to three years, at the time revenue is recognized. While we engage in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of components provided to us by suppliers, warranty obligations do arise. These obligations are affected by product failure rates, the costscost of materials used in correcting product failures and service delivery expenses incurred in correcting a product failure.to make these corrections. If actual product failure rates and material or service delivery costs differ from our estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability are required and could be material. At the end of each reporting period, we revise our estimated warranty liability based on these factors. The current portion of our warranty liability is included as a component of accrued expenses. The long-term portion of our warranty liability is included as a component of other liabilities.
A reconciliation of the changes in our estimated warranty liability is as follows:

An impairment loss is recognized when future undiscounted cash flows expected to result from use of the asset and its eventual disposition are less than the carrying amount. There were 0 impairments in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 or the nine months ended September 30, 2018.

11. NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE:
Basic net income (loss) per share for a period is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Common equivalent shares consist of common shares to be issued upon exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted stock units, vesting of restricted shares and from purchases of shares under our Employee Stock Purchase Plan, as calculated using the treasury stock method. Net income per diluted share is computed by dividing net income by the weighted average number of common and common equivalent shares outstanding during the period. All common equivalent shares arewere excluded from the calculation of net loss per diluted share due to their anti-dilutive effect. Common equivalent shares are excluded from the calculation of net income per diluted share if their effect is anti-dilutive. The components of net income (loss) per basic and diluted share were as follows:

13. INCOME TAXES:
We recorded an income tax benefit of $234,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to income tax expense of $297,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2018.We recorded income tax expense of $134,000$92,000 in thethree nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, compared to an income tax benefit of $83,000 in the three months ended March 31, 2018.

Fluctuations in our effective tax rate in both the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and are related to a non-cash income benefit resulting from the threecompletion of an audit of our income taxes in the Singapore tax jurisdiction. In the nine months ended March 31, September 30, 2019 and 2018 was, excess tax benefits related to employee share based payments totaled $11,000 and $70,000, respectively. On a recurring basis, our effective income tax rate is significantly impacted by Global Intangible Low Tax Income (GILTI),and U.S. federal R&D tax credits and excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments. credits.
We have significant deferred tax assets as a result of temporary differences between taxable income on our tax returns and U.S. GAAP income, research and development tax credit carry forwards and federal, state and foreign net operating loss carry forwards. A deferred tax asset generally represents future tax benefits to be received when temporary differences previously reported in our consolidated financial statements become deductible for income tax purposes, when net operating loss carry forwards could be applied against future taxable income, or when tax credit carry forwards are utilized on our tax returns. We assess the realizability of our deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance based on the guidance provided in current financial accounting standards.
Significant judgment is required in determining the realizability of our deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether valuation allowances are required considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of any current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry-forward periods, our experience with loss carry forwards not expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. In analyzing the need for valuation allowances, we first considered our history of cumulative operating results for income tax purposes over the past three years in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, our financial performance in recent quarters, statutory carry forwardcarry-forward periods and tax planning alternatives. In addition, we considered both our near-term and long-term financial outlook. After considering all available evidence (both positive and negative), we concluded that recognition of valuation allowances for substantially all of our U.S. and Singapore based deferred tax assets was not required.
The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore is reviewing our 2016 and 2015 income tax returns. We anticipate that the outcome of these audits will not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.
14. OPERATING LEASES:
We determine if an arrangement is a lease at inception. Operating leases are included in operating lease right-of-use (“ROU”) assets, current operating lease liabilities, and long-term operating lease liabilities in our consolidated balance sheets. ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset for the lease term and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at the commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The operating lease ROU excludesassets exclude lease incentives. As our leases do not provide an implicit rate, we use our incremental borrowing rate to determine the present value of lease payments. Our leases may include renewal options to extend the lease term, the exercise of which are at our sole discretion. OurIn our accounting treatment of leases, the lease terms used do not include any option to extend the lease, because it is not reasonably certain that we will exercise the option. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. We have lease agreements with lease and non-lease components (e.g., common-area or other maintenance costs) which are generally accounted for separately and expensed monthly. We do not recognize a ROU asset and lease liability for leases having a term of 12 months or less at the effective date.
We lease a 61,208 square foot mixedmixed-use office and warehouse facility in Golden Valley, Minnesota. The lease has a term of 91 months and expires on July 31, 2026. The lease contains a rent escalation clause, one1 three year renewal option and incentives. Rental expense, including the effects of lease incentives, is recognized on a straight-line basis over the term of the lease. We are also required to pay insurance, property taxes and other operating expenses related to the leased facility, which are not fixed or tied to an index.
We lease a 19,805 square foot mixedmixed-use office and warehouse facility in Singapore. The lease expires in July 2020, contains a rent escalation clause and one1 three year renewal option. We also have operating leases for sales offices in the United Kingdom and China, which expire in May 2023 and November 2020, respectively. We did not enter into any new leases in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019.

1516. CONTINGENCIES:
We are periodically a defendant in miscellaneous lawsuits, claims and disputes in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters cannot be predicted with certainty, management presently believes the disposition of these matters will not have a material effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
In the normal course of business to facilitate sales of our products and services, we at times indemnify other parties, including customers, with respect to certain matters. In these instances, we have agreed to hold the other parties harmless against losses arising out of intellectual property infringement or other types of claims. These agreements may limit the time within which an indemnification claim can be made, and almost always limitlimits the amount of the claim. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of prior indemnification claims and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made, if any, under these agreements have not had a material impact on our operating results, financial position or cash flows. However, there can be no assurance that intellectual property infringement and other claims against us or parties we have indemnified will have the same impact in the future.
ITEM 2 - MANAGEMENT’S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
FORWARD LOOKING STATEMENTS:
The following management’s discussion and analysis of the financial condition and results of operations of CyberOptics Corporation ("we", "us" and "our") contains a number of estimates and predictions that are forward looking statements rather than statements based on historical fact. Among other matters, we discuss (i) our level of anticipated revenues, gross margins, and expenses; (ii) the timing of orders and shipments of our existing products, particularly the SQ3000, our 3D automated optical inspection ("AOI") system; (iii) the timing of initial revenue and projected improvements in gross margins from sales of new products that have been recently introduced, that we have under development or that we anticipate introducing in the future; (iv) the amount of anticipated revenue and potential revenue opportunity from recently introduced new products or potential new products we may launch in the future; and (v) our assessment of trends in the economy in general economyand, the surface mount technology ("SMT") and semiconductor capital equipment markets in particular, and their impact on the markets for our products.products; and (vi) changes in the level of tariffs and other trade policies of the United States. Although we have made these statements based on our experience and expectations regarding future events, there may be events or factors that we have not anticipated, and the accuracy of our forward-looking statements and estimates are subject to a number of risks, including those risks identified in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2018.
RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
General
As a leading global developer and manufacturer of high precision 3D3D sensors, our strategy is to leverage our 3D3D sensor technologies in our three key vertical markets: surface mount technology ("SMT"); semiconductor;the SMT and metrology.semiconductor capital equipment markets. A key element in our strategy is the continued development and sale of new high precision 3D sensors based on our proprietary multi-reflection suppression ("MRS") technology. We believe that MRS is a break-through optical technology for high precision inspection and metrology. Our operating results in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were affected by the cyclical, industry-wide slowdown in demand for SMT and semiconductor capital equipment as well as uncertainty surrounding the global trade environment. We believe the three months ended September 30, 2019 marked the trough of the downturn in the SMT and semiconductor capital equipment markets, and that industry conditions will strengthen moving forward. Over the longer-term (i.e. the next several years), we expect a growing number of opportunities in the markets for SMT and semiconductor inspection and metrology, withand we believe MRS has the potential to expand our marketspresence in the future. markets for SMT and semiconductor capital equipment.

OEM customers for high precision 3D and 2D sensors reduced their purchases of high precision 3D and 2D sensors in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 in response to weak conditions in the global SMT and semiconductor markets. Sales of 3D MRS-enabled sensors decreased by $376,000 or 18% to $1.7 million in thecapital equipment markets. three months ended March 31, 2019, when compared to the three months ended March 31, 2018.Sales of legacy 2D LaserAlign sensors decreased by $930,000 or 32% to $2.0 million in the three months ended March 31, 2019, when compared to the same period last year. Sales of high precision 3D and 2D sensors are dependent on the success of our OEM customers selling products that incorporate our sensors. Weakness in high precisionDue to ongoing market weakness, our 3D and 2D sensor sales is expectedare forecasted to persist, resulting in a significant year-over-year decline in sensor sales in the secondfourth quarter of 2019. Sales2019, both sequentially and on a year-over-year basis. However, we believe sales of high precision 3D andMRS-enabled sensors will rebound, starting in early 2020. We believe sales of older 2D legacy sensors are expected towill also rebound, during the second half of 2019 as SMT and semiconductor markets begin to improve.but recovery may not happen until later in 2020. We believe sales of our new 3D MRS enabled sensors will represent an increasing percentage of our total high precision 3D3D and 2D2D sensor sales in the future. However, qQuarterlyuarterly sales of high precision 3D and 2D sensors, including 3D MRS enabled sensors, are prone to significant fluctuations both sequentially and on a year-over-year basis.due to variations in market demand.
Revenues from sales of semiconductor sensors, principally our WaferSense product line, increased by $975,000$213,000 or 316% to $4.1$3.7 million in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, from $3.2$3.5 million in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2018.

We believe higher sales of semiconductor sensors in the three months ended September 30, 2019 are due to initial signs of improvement in the global semiconductor capital equipment market, particularly with respect to foundry customers. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019, higher sales of semiconductor sensors are due to the recent improvement in market conditions, and incremental sales of WaferSense products in the first quarter of 2019 to Asian semiconductor manufacturing facilities commissioned in 2018 that have deployed our WaferSense sensors to improve yield.2018.

Over the second quarter of 2019 due to short-term weakness in the semiconductor market. Welonger-term, we anticipate that the benefits from growing market awareness of our WaferSenseproducts, improved account penetration at major semiconductor manufacturers and capital equipment suppliers and new product introductions will lead to additional WaferSense product sales in future periods.sales.
Revenues from sales of inspection and metrology systems decreased by $2.3 million or 29% to $5.5 million in the three months ended September 30, 2019, from $7.8 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018.Revenues from sales of inspection and metrology systems increased by $1.22.2 million or 2011% to $7.1$22.6 million in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, from $5.9$20.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The revenue decrease in the three months ended March 31, 2018.September 30, 2019 was caused by sluggish market conditions in the global SMT and semiconductor capital equipment markets, resulting in lower year-over-year sales of both MRS-enabled SQ3000 3D AOI systems and legacy inspection systems. The revenue increase in the nine months ended September 30, 2019 resulted from higher sales of 3D MRS-enabled SQ3000 3DSQ30003D AOI systems including the new SQ3000™ 3D CMM system, and $1.6 million of revenue from sales of MX600MX600 memory module inspection systems. Sales of SQ3000MRS-enabled SQ3000 3D AOI systems increased by $274,000$1.2 million or 12%14% to $2.5$10.4 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Strong year-over-year sales growth is forecasted for MRS-enabled SQ3000 3D AOI systems in the fourth quarter of 2019, due in part to the competitive advantages offered by our MRS technology. Sales of MX600 memory module inspection systems were approximately $600,000 and $3.3 million in the three and ninemonths ended March 31,September 30, 2019, when compared torespectively. There were no sales of MX600 memory module inspection systems in the three and ninemonths ended March 31,September 30, 2018.Sales of legacy 2D2D AOI and solder paste inspection systems were lower in the three and nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, when compared to the three and nine months ended March 31, 2018. There were noSeptember 30, 2018. Despite the anticipated sales growth for MRS-enabled SQ3000 AOI systems, slow sales of MX600 memory module inspection systemslegacy products are expected to result in the three months ended March 31, 2018. Consistent with the customer's current installation schedule, we expect to recognize $1.1 million of MX600lower year-over-year sales in the second quarter of 2019. Sales of inspection and metrology systems are forecasted to grow strongly in the second quarter of 2019, driven by strong demand for SQ3000 3D AOI systems and the MX600 sales described above. this year's fourth quarter.
We believe a growing number of companies are transitioning from 2D AOI to 3D AOI systems to meet the increasingly demanding product inspection requirements in the semiconductor, electronics and industrial markets. As a result, demand for 3D3D AOI systems is growing rapidly. We anticipate sales of 3D MRS enabled SQ3000 3DSQ30003D AOI systems, including the new SQ3000™ 3D CMM system, will represent an increasing percentage of our total inspection and metrology system sales in the future. Also, we expect that the competitive advantages of our unique 3D MRS technology will provide us with an opportunity to capture significant market share in the 3D AOI systems market.
Export revenues totaled $10.69.6 million or 7177% of our total revenues in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, compared to $10.211.9 million or 7271% of total revenues in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2018. Export revenues totaled $31.1 million or 73% of our total revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2019compared to $33.4 million or 72% of total revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Export revenue as a percentage of total revenue was higher in the three months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the three months ended September 30, 2018, primarily due to lower sales of general industrial metrology systems and services, which are primarily sold in the United States. There was no significant change in export revenues as a percentage of total revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the nine months ended September 30, 2018.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
Cost of revenues decreased by $2.4 million or 26% to $6.9million in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, from $9.2 million in the three months ended September 30, 2018. Cost of revenues decreased by $2.4 million or 10% to $23.3million in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, from $25.7 million in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decrease in cost of revenues in both periods was due to a corresponding decrease in revenues. In the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019, revenues decreased by 26% and 9%, respectively.
Total gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 44% in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to 45% in the three months ended September 30, 2018. Total gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 45% in both the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The small reduction in gross margin percentage in the three months ended September 30, 2019 was due to incremental expenses for inventory obsolescence and warranty costs, offset in part by a more favorable product mix. Sales of higher margin semiconductor sensors represented a larger percentage of our total revenues in the three months ended September 30, 2019, when compared to the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2018.
Cost of Revenues and Gross Margin
Cost of revenues increased by $49,000 or 1% Due to $8.0million in the three months ended March 31, 2019, from $7.9 million in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The slight increase in costa more favorable product mix, total gross margins as a percentage of revenues in the three months ended March 31, 2019 was due to the corresponding 6% increase in revenues, mostly offset by a change in product mix, as sales of lower cost, higher gross margin products constituted a greater percentage of our total revenues. Items included in cost of revenues that fluctuate with the level of sales include raw materials, direct labor and factory overhead costs.
Total gross margin as a percentage of revenue was 47% in the three months ended March 31, 2019, compared to 44% in the three months ended March 31, 2018. The increase in gross margin percentage was due to sales of higher margin semiconductor sensors representing a greater percentage of our total revenues. In addition, there were fewer sales of 2D and 3D inspection systems in the broader SMT market, which tend to have lower gross margins due to competitive pricing pressures. We anticipate that our gross margin percentage in the secondfourth quarter of 2019 will are expected to be down slightlyhigher on a year-over-year basis from the second quarter of 2018, principally dueand higher to expected changes in product mix, including more sales of inspection systems in the lower margin general purpose SMT market and an x-ray system sale.a lesser extent on a sequential quarterly basis.
Our markets are highly price competitive, particularly insegments of the electronic assembly and SMT markets.market that have less demanding inspection requirements. As a result, we have experienced ongoingcontinual pressure on our gross margins. We compensate for thisthe pressure to reduce the price of our products by introducing new products with more features and improved performance and through manufacturing cost reduction programs. Sales of many products that we have recently introduced or are about to introduce, including our current and future MRS-enabled SQ30003D AOI systems,products, 3D MRS sensors and WaferSense sensor products, have, or are expected to have, more favorable gross margins than many of our existing products. Our next generation 3D MRS-enabled sensor and system products are being designed for more complex and demanding inspection applications in the SMT and semiconductor markets. Sales prices and gross profit margins of products for these applications tend to be higher than margins for products sold in the broader SMT market.
Operating Expenses
Research and development ("R&D") expenses were $2.32.4 million or 15%19% of revenues in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, compared to $2.2 million or 1513% of revenues in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2018. R&D expenses were $7.0 million or 16% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $6.6 million or 14% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The increaseincreases in R&D expenses wasin both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were the result of higher compensation costs due to hiring offor new and existing R&D employees, and pay increasesexpenses related to development of our next generation 3D NanoResolution MRS sensor, offset in part by lower bonus accruals for existing employees working in our R&D department. Current R&D expenditures are primarily focused on continued development of our 3D MRS technology, including 3D sensor subsystems and commercialization of ourthe next generation ultra-high resolution 3-micron pixelNanoResolution sensor, and ongoing development of new applications and products for our WaferSense product line.3D wafer level, advanced packaging and memory module inspection.
Selling, general and administrative ("S,G&A") expenses were $4.23.9 million or 28%31% of revenues in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, compared to $4.43.9 million or 3124% of revenues in the three months ended March 31,September 30, 2018. S,G&A expenses were $11.8 million or 28% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2019, compared to $12.4 million or 27% of revenues in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. The decreaseincreases in S,G&A expenses was due toas a percentage of revenues reflected our lower revenue levels. However, S,G&A expenses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 were favorably impacted by lower compensation costs resulting from voluntary employee departures a small reduction due to foreign currency impacts and a smalllower bonus accruals and sales commissions resulting from the declines in our revenues and financial performance. In addition, S,G&A expenses in the three and nine months ended September 30, 2018 were decreased by an approximately $200,000 reduction in our allowance for doubtful accounts.accounts, resulting from collection of a receivable that had been fully reserved for in a prior period.
Total operating expenses in the secondfourth quarter of 2019 are expected to be up slightlyvirtually unchanged on both a year-over-year basis when compared to the second quarter of 2018.and quarterly sequential basis.
Interest Income and Other
Interest incomeincome and other includes interest earned on investments and gains and losses associated with foreign currency transactions, primarily intercompany financing transactions associated with our subsidiaries in the United Kingdom, Singapore and China. We recognized losses from foreign currency transactions of $18,000 inIn thethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, compared to and 2018, we recognized gains from foreign currency transactions of $71,000 and $43,00037,000 in respectively. In the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019 and 2018, w.e recognized gains from foreign currency transactions of $45,000 and $102,000, respectively.
Income Taxes
We recorded an income tax benefit of $234,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2019, compared to income tax expense of $297,000 in the three months ended September 30, 2018.We recorded income tax expense of $134,00092,000 in thethree nine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, compared to income tax expense of $444,000 in the nine months ended September 30, 2018. Our income tax benefit in the three months ended September 30, 2019 reflectedan effectivetax rate of approximately 40%, compared to an incomeeffective tax benefitrate of $83,000approximately 22% in thethree months ended March 31,September 30, 2018.Our income tax expense in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019reflectedan effective incometax rate of approximately 13%, compared to an effective tax rate of approximately 21%, which included $9,000 in thenine months ended September 30, 2018. Fluctuations in our effective tax rate in both the three and nine months ended September 30, 2019 are related to a non-cash income benefit resulting from the completion of an audit of our income taxes in the Singapore tax jurisdiction. In the nine months ended September 30, 2019 and 2018, excess tax benefits fromrelated to employee share-based payments. Our income tax benefit in the three months ended March 31, 2018share based payments totaled $11,000 and $70,000, respectively. reflected anOn a recurring basis, our effective income tax rate of approximately 32%, which included $35,000 of excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments. Our effective income tax rate in the three months ended March 31, 2019 and the three months ended March 31, 2018 wasis significantly impacted by Global Intangible Low Tax Income (GILTI),and U.S. federal R&D tax credits and excess tax benefits from employee share-based payments.credits.
We have significant deferred tax assets as a result of temporary differences between taxable income on our tax returns and U.S. GAAP income, research and development tax credit carry forwards and federal, state and foreign net operating loss carry forwards. A deferred tax asset generally represents future tax benefits to be received when temporary differences previously reported in our consolidated financial statements become deductible for income tax purposes, when net operating loss carry forwards could be applied against future taxable income, or when tax credit carry forwards are utilized on our tax returns. We assess therealizabilityof our deferred tax assets and the need for a valuation allowance based on the guidance provided in current financial accounting standards.
Significant judgment is required in determining therealizabilityof our deferred tax assets. The assessment of whether valuation allowances are required considers, among other matters, the nature, frequency and severity of any current and cumulative losses, forecasts of future profitability, the duration of statutory carry-forward periods, our experience with loss carry forwards not expiring unused and tax planning alternatives. In analyzing the need for valuation allowances, we first considered our history of cumulative operating results for income tax purposes over the past threeyears in each of the tax jurisdictions in which we operate, our financial performance in recent quarters, statutory carry forwardcarry-forward periods and tax planning alternatives. In addition, we considered both our near-term and long-term financial outlook. After considering all available evidence (both positive and negative), we concluded that recognition of valuation allowances for substantially all of our U.S. and Singapore deferred tax assets was not required.
The Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore is reviewing our 2016 and 2015 income tax returns. We anticipate that the outcome of these audits will not have a significant impact on our financial position or results of operations.Backlog
Backlog
Backlog totaled $11.6$14.4 million at March 31,September 30, 2019, a decreasean increase from $13.6$13.6 million at December 31, 2018, but down from $19.7 and $12.1 million at March 31,September 30, 2018. Our products are typically shipped two weeks to two months after receipt of an order. Sales of some inspection system products may require customer acceptance due to performance or other acceptance criteria included in the terms of sale. For these product sales, revenue is recognized at the time of customer acceptance. Our backlog at any time may vary significantly based on the timing of orders from OEM customers. In some instances, our OEM customers may place orders for shipment of products covering periods of nine months or longer. Accordingly, backlog may not be an accurate indicator of performance in the future.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Our cash and cash equivalents increaseddecreased by $67,000$1.1 million in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019. ProceedsCash provided by operating activities of $440,000 from operating activities,$916,000 and proceeds of $1.16.1 million from maturities of marketable securities and proceeds of $59,000 from the exercise of stock options added to our cash and cash equivalents. These sources of cash were mostlymore than offset by purchases of marketable securities totaling $1.37.1 million and purchases of fixed assetassets and payment of capitalized patent costs totaling $215,000.$1.2 million. Our cash and cash equivalents fluctuate in part because of sales and maturities of marketable securities and investment of cash balances in marketable securities, and from other sources of cash. Accordingly, we believe the combined balances of cash and marketable securities provide a more reliable indication of our available liquidity than cash balances alone. Combined balances of cash and marketable securities increased by approximately $400,000 to $25.7 million as of March 31, 2019 fromwere $25.3 million as of both September 30, 2019 and December 31, 2018.
Operating activities provided $440,000$916,000 of cash in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019. The amount of cash provided by operations was favorably impacted by our net income of $495,000$606,000. Net income was affected by non-cash expenses totaling $2.81.0 millionmillion for depreciation and amortization, provision for doubtful accounts, deferred income taxes, non-cash losses from foreign currency transactions, share-based compensation costs and an unrealized loss on our available-for-sale equity security. Changes in operating assets and liabilities providing cash in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, included a decrease in accounts receivable of $2.9$2.6 million, a decrease in other assets of $445,000$235,000 and an increase in advance customer paymentsoperating lease assets and liabilities of $207,000. $482,000. Changes in operating assets and liabilities using cash in the threenine months ended March 31,September 30, 2019, included an increase in inventories of $1.6$1.1 million,a decrease in accounts payable of $2.4$3.5 million and a decrease in accrued expenses of $600,000$1.1 million. Accounts receivable decreased due to lower sales in the firstthird quarter of 2019 when, compared to the fourth quarter of 2018. 2018, offset in part by slower collection of accounts receivable. Sales of inspection and metrology systems, which typically have longer collection periods than sales of our sensor products, have constituted a larger portion of our revenues in recent quarters. Other assets decreased because deposits previously paid to a key supplier of materials were used to purchase inventories. Advance customer payments increased due to receiptThe increase in operating lease assets and liabilities resulted from lease incentives, including free rent and facility operating costs, and the effects of a customer deposit for a metrology product we expect to ship in the second quarter of 2019.straight-line rent expense. Inventories increased because materials were purchased to support higher sales levels that were originally anticipated for the first quarter of 2019. Sales were lower than initially anticipated due to sluggish conditions in the global SMT and semiconductor markets.capital equipment markets, with a corresponding negative impact on sales, causing inventory levels to rise. The purchase of additional materials for MX600 memory module inspection systems also contributed to the increase in inventories.
