2. BASIS OF PRESENTATION

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared on substantially the same basis as our annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2014.2015. In the opinion of the Company's management, these interim condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair statement of our financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. Actual results could differ from these estimates.

The March 31, 20142015 year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data in this document waswere derived from audited consolidated financial statements and does not include all of the disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company's audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the fiscal year ended March 31, 20142015 and notes thereto included in the Company's fiscal 20142015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods included in these condensed consolidated financial statements are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future period or the entire fiscal year.

Service and Product RevenuePRINCIPLES OF CONSOLIDATION

The Company recognizes service revenue when persuasive evidenceconsolidated financial statements include the accounts of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services8x8 and its subsidiaries. All material intercompany accounts and transactions have been rendered, price is fixed or determinable and collectability is reasonably assured. The Company defers recognition of service revenues in instances when cash receipts are received before services are delivered and recognizes deferred revenues ratably as services are provided.eliminated.

SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

The Company recognizes revenue from product salessignificant accounting policies used in preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for which there are no related services to be rendered upon shipment to customers provided that persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, the price is fixed, title has transferred, collection of resulting receivables is reasonably assured, there are no customer acceptance requirements,fiscal year ended March 31, 2015 filed with the SEC on May 29, 2015, and there arehave been no remainingchanges to the Company's significant obligations. Gross outbound shipping and handling charges are recordedaccounting policies during the three months ended June 30, 2015, except as revenue, anddescribed in the related costs are included in cost of goods sold. Reserves for returns and allowances for customer sales are recorded at the time of shipment. "Recent Accounting Pronouncements"section below.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

In accordance withApril 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB")(FASB) issued Accounting Standards Codification ("ASC") 985-605,Update (ASU) 2014-08,Software - Revenue Recognition, the Company records shipments to distributors, retailers,Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and resellers, where the rightProperty, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of return exists, as deferred

revenue. The Company defers recognitionDisposals of revenue on sales to distributors, retailers, and resellers until products are resold to the customer.

The Company records revenue net of any sales-related taxes that are billed to its customers. The Company believes this approach results in consolidated financial statements that are more easily understood by users.

Under the terms of the Company's typical subscription agreement, new customers can terminate their service within 30 days of order placement and receive a full refund of fees previously paid. The Company has determined that it has sufficient history of subscriber conduct to make a reasonable estimate of cancellations within the 30-day trial period. Therefore, the Company recognizes new subscriber revenue in the month in which the new order was shipped, netComponents of an allowanceEntity. This ASU changes the requirements for expected cancellations.

Multiple Element Arrangements

ASC 605-25,Multiple Element Arrangements - Revenue Recognition, requiresreporting discontinued operations in FASB ASU 205-20, such that revenue arrangements with multiple deliverablesa disposal of a component of an entity or a group of components of an entity is required to be divided into separate units of accountingreported in discontinued operations if the deliverables in the arrangement meet specific criteria. The provisioning of the 8x8 cloud service with the accompanying 8x8 IP telephone constitutesdisposal represents a revenue arrangement with multiple deliverables.  For arrangements with multiple deliverables, the Company allocates the arrangement consideration to all units of accounting based on their relative selling prices. In such circumstances, the accounting principles establish a hierarchy to determine the relative selling price to be used for allocating arrangement consideration to units of accounting as follows: (i) vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value ("VSOE"), (ii) third-party evidence of selling price ("TPE"), and (iii) best estimate of the selling price ("BESP").

VSOE generally exists only when the Company sells the deliverable separately, on more than a limited basis, at prices within a relatively narrow range.  When VSOE cannot be established, the Company attempts to establish the selling price of deliverables based on relevant TPE. TPE is determined based on manufacturers' prices for similar deliverables when sold separately, when possible. When the Company is unable to establish selling price using VSOE or TPE, it uses a BESP for the allocation of arrangement consideration. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact a sale if the product or service was sold on a stand-alone basis. BESP is generally used for offeringsstrategic shift that are not typically sold on a stand-alone basis or for new or highly customized offerings. The Company determines BESP for a product or service by considering multiple factors including, but not limited to:

In accordance with the guidance of ASC 605-25, when the Company enters into revenue arrangements with multiple deliverables the Company allocates arrangement consideration, including activation fees, among the 8x8 IP telephones and subscriber services based on their relative selling prices. Arrangement consideration allocated to the IP telephones that is fixed or determinable and that is not contingent on future performance or deliverables is recognized as product revenues during the period of the sale less the allowance for estimated returns during the 30-day trial period. Arrangement consideration allocated to subscriber services telephones that is fixed or determinable and that is not contingent on future performance or deliverables is recognized ratably as service revenues as the related services are provided, which is generally over the initial contract term.

Deferred Cost of Goods Sold

Deferred cost of goods sold represents the cost of products sold for which the end customer or distributor has a right of return. The cost of the products sold is recognized contemporaneously with the recognition of revenue, when the subscriber has accepted the service.

Cash, Cash Equivalents and Investments

The Company considers all highly liquid investments with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Management determines the appropriate categorization of its investments at the time of purchase and reevaluates the classification at each reporting date. The cost of the Company's investments is determined based upon specific identification.

The Company's investments are comprised of mutual funds, commercial paper, corporate debt, municipal securities, asset backed securities, mortgage backed securities, international government securities, certificates of deposit and money market funds. At December 31, 2014 and March 31, 2014, all investments were classified as available-for-sale and reported at fair value, based either upon quoted prices in active markets, quoted prices in less active markets, or quoted market prices for similar investments, with unrealized gains and losses, net of related tax, if any, included in other comprehensive loss and disclosed as a separate component of consolidated stockholders' equity. Realized gains and losses on sales of all such investments are reported within the caption of "other income, net" in the consolidated statements of income and are computed using the specific identification method. The Company classifies its investments as current based on the nature of the investments and their availability for use in current operations. The Company's investments in marketable securities are monitored on a periodic basis for impairment. In the event that the carrying value of an investment exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis for the investment is established. These available-for-sale investments are primarily held in the custody of(or will have) a major effect on an entity's operations and financial institution.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

The Company accounts for its employee stock options, stock purchase rights, restricted stock units including restricted performance stock units granted under the 1996 Stock Plan, 1996 Director Option Plan, the 2006 Stock Plan, the 2003 Contactual Plan, the 2012 Equity Incentive Plan, the 2013 New Employee Inducement Incentive Plan and stock purchase rights under the 1996 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (collectively "Equity Compensation Plans") under the provisions of ASC 718 -Stock Compensation. Under the provisions of ASC 718, stock-based compensation cost is measured at the grant date, based on the estimated fair value of the award, and is recognized as an expense over the employee's requisite service period (generally the vesting period of the equity grant), net of estimated forfeitures.

To value option grants, stock purchase rights and restricted stock units under the Equity Compensation Plans for stock-based compensation, the Company used the Black-Scholes option valuation model. Fair value determined using the Black-Scholes option valuation model varies based on assumptions used for the expected stock prices volatility, expected life, risk-free interest rates and future dividend payments. For the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, the Company used the historical volatility of its stock over a period equal to the expected life of the options. The expected life assumptions represent the weighted-average period stock-based awards are expecting to remain outstanding. These expected life assumptions were established through the review of historical exercise behavior of stock-based award grants with similar vesting periods. The risk-free interest rate is based on the closing market bid yields on actively traded U.S. treasury securities in the over-the-counter market for the expected term equal to the expected term of the option. The dividend yield assumption is based on the Company's history and expectation of future dividend payout. Compensation expense for stock-based payment awards is recognized using the straight-line single-option method and includes the impact of estimated forfeitures.

13


The Company has issued restricted performance stock units to a group of executives with vesting that is contingent on both market performance and continued service. For the market-based restricted performance stock units issued during the nine months ended December 31, 2014:

To value these market-based restricted performance stock units under the Equity Compensation Plans, the Company used a Monte Carlo simulation model on the date of grant.  Fair value determined using the Monte Carlo simulation model varies based on the assumptions used for the expected stock price volatility, the correlation coefficient between the Company and the NASDAQ Composite Index, risk free interest rates, and future dividend payments.  For the nine months ended December 31, 2014, the Company used the historical volatility and correlation of our stock and the Index over a period equal to the remaining performance period as of the grant date. The risk-free interest ratethere was based on the closing market bid yields on actively traded U.S. treasury securities in the over-the-counter market for the expected term equal to the remaining performance period as of the grant date. The dividend yield assumption was basedno effect on our history and expectation of future dividend payout.  Compensation expense for restricted stock units with performance and market conditions is recognized over the requisite service period using the straight-line method on a tranche by tranche basis and includes the impact of estimated forfeitures.

As of December 31, 2014, unamortized stock-based compensation expense related to unvested stock awards was approximately $24.7 million, which is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 2.93 years.

The following table summarizes the assumptions used to compute reported stock-based compensation to employees and directors for the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013:

   Three Months Ended  Nine Months Ended
   December 31,  December 31,
   2014  2013  2014  2013
Expected volatility  61%  63%  61%  64%
Expected dividend yield        
Risk-free interest rate  1.71%  1.62%  1.71%  1.86%
Weighted average expected option term  6.10 years  5.59 years  6.00 years  6.00 years
Weighted average fair value of options granted $4.02 $5.64 $4.01 $5.64

In accordance with ASC 718 - Stock Compensation, the Company recorded $2.4 million and $2.1 million in compensation expense relative to stock-based awards for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and $5.8 million and $4.8 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the Company's Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or ESPP, eligible employees can participate and purchase common stock semi-annually through payroll deductions at a price equal to 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning of each one year offering period or the end of the applicable six month purchase period within that offering period, whichever is lower. The contribution amount may not exceed 10% of an employee's base compensation, including commissions but not including bonuses and overtime. The Company accounts for the ESPP as a compensatory plan and recorded compensation expense of $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, and $0.7 million and $0.4 million for the nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively, in accordance with ASC 718.

The estimated fair value of ESPP options granted under the Employee Stock Purchase Plan was estimated at the date of grant using Black-Scholes pricing model with the following weighted average assumptions:

   Three Months Ended  Nine Months Ended
   December 31,  December 31,
   2014  2013  2014  2013
Expected volatility      46%  38%
Expected dividend yield        
Risk-free interest rate      0.90%  0.11%
Weighted average expected ESPP option term      0.75 years  0.75 years
Weighted average fair value of            
ESPP options granted $ $ $2.46 $2.60

As of December 31, 2014, there were approximately $0.2 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to employee stock purchases. This cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 0.5 years.

ASC 718 requires the benefits of tax deductions in excess of recognized compensation costs to be reported as a financing cash flow, rather than as an operating cash flow. The future realization of tax benefits related to stock-based compensation is dependent upon the timing of employee exercises and future taxable income, among other factors. The Company did not realize any tax benefit from the stock-based compensation charges incurred during the three and nine months ended December 31, 2014 and 2013, respectively.

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. This ASU requires that a performance target that affects vesting and could be achieved after the requisite service period be treated as a performance condition. A reporting entity should apply existing guidance in ASC 718, Compensation-Stock Compensation, as it relates to such awards. ASU 2014-12 is effective for us in our first quarterthree months of fiscal 2017 with early adoption permitted using either of two methods: (i) prospective to2016, the Company expensed all awards granted or modified after the effective date; or (ii) retrospective to all awards with performance targets that are outstanding as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statementsresearch and to all new or modified awards thereafter, with the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-12 as an adjustment to the opening retained earnings balance as of the beginning of the earliest annual period presented in the financial statements. The Company is currently assessing the impact of this pronouncement to its consolidated financial statements.

In November 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-17, Pushdown Accounting. This ASU provides companies with the option to apply pushdown accounting in its separate financial statements upon occurrence of an event in which an acquirer obtains control of the acquired entity.  The election to apply pushdown accounting can be made either in the period in which the change of control occurred, or in a subsequent period.  If the election is made in a subsequent period, it would be considered a change in accounting principle and treateddevelopment costs in accordance with Topic 250,ASC 985-20,Accounting Changes Costs of Software to be Sold, Leased or Marketed (ASC 985-20).

10. SEGMENT REPORTING

ASC 280,Segment Reporting, establishes annual and interim reporting standards for an enterprise's business segments and related disclosures about its products, services, geographic areas and major customers. Under ASC 280, the method for determining what information to report is based upon the way management organizes the operating segments within the Company for making operating decisions and assessing financial performance.

As of June 30, 2015, the Company has reclassified the presentation of the information regarding its reportable segments to reflect a change from one reportable segment in prior periods to two reportable segments, due to changes in reporting structure as a result of a business acquisition that occurred in the first fiscal quarter of 2016. The Company manages its operations primarily on a geographic basis. The Company's chief operating decision makers (CODMs) are the Chief Executive Officer, the Chief Financial Officer, and the Chief Technology Officer, who evaluate performance of the Company and make decisions regarding allocation of resources based on geographic results.   The Company's reportable operating segments are the Americas and Europe. The Americas segment is primarily North America. The Europe segment is primarily the United Kingdom. Each operating segment provides similar products and services.

The Company's CODMs evaluate the performance of its operating segments based on revenues and net income. Revenues are attributed to each segment based on the ordering location of the customer or ship to location. The Company allocates corporate overhead costs such as research and development, sales and marketing, general and administrative, amortization expense, stock-based compensation expense, and commitment and contingencies to the US segment. The Company did not allocate goodwill for each segment as the Company had not completed its analysis of assigning goodwill to its reporting units as of July 31, 2015.

11. ACQUISITIONS

DXI Group Limited

On May 26, 2015, the Company entered into a share purchase agreement with the shareholders of DXI Limited, API Telecom Limited, Easycallnow Limited and RAS Telecom Limited (collectively, DXI) for the purchase of the entire share capital of DXI. The transaction closed effective May 29, 2015 and was not subject to regulatory approvals. The total aggregate purchase price was approximately $22.5 million, consisting of $18.7 million in cash paid to the DXI shareholders at closing, and $3.8 million in cash deposited into escrow to be held for two years as security against indemnity claims made by the Company after the closing date. Approximately 352,000 shares of common stock valued at approximately $3.0 million were issued only to former management shareholders of DXI as part of the share purchase agreement and are subject to certain restrictions, including a four-year annual vesting requirement based on the continued employment of such shareholders. Under ASC 805-10-55-25,Business Combinations, the shares are considered post acquisition compensation vs. consideration transferred. The value of the shares will be amortized over the vesting period of forty-eight months. The shares are further subject to indemnity claims asserted by the Company prior to vesting. Vesting of the shares is subject to acceleration in the event of the shareholder's death or disability, or upon an employment termination without adequate cause, as provided in the share purchase agreement. The cash escrow also applies only to the management shareholders of DXI and is to be released in annual installments over two years. The share purchase agreement contains representations and warranties by the management shareholders that are

17


customary in the UK for transactions of this size and nature. The Company also awarded restricted stock units representing the right to receive approximately 53,000 shares of common stock that were valued at approximately $482,000to certain continuing employees of DXI, which will be amortized as stock-based compensation over the requisite service period.

The Company recorded the acquired tangible and identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the aggregate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The amount of goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the expected contributions of the entity to the overall corporate strategy in addition to synergies and acquired workforce of the acquired business. The finite−lived intangible assets consist of the following: customer relationships, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of two and five years; and developed technology, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of seven years. The indefinite lived intangible asset consisted of a tradename. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions made by management using various income approach methods. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis.

The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows (in thousands):

Estimated
Fair Value
Assets acquired:
     Cash$1,318 
     Current assets2,016 
     Property and equipment1,453 
     Intangible assets14,691 
          Total assets acquired19,478 
Liabilities assumed:
     Current liabilities and non-current liabilities(5,997)
          Total liabilities assumed(5,997)
               Net identifiable assets acquired13,481 
     Goodwill9,071 
               Total consideration transferred$22,552 

None of the goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

DXI contributed revenue of approximately $1.1 million and net income was not material for the period from the date of acquisition to June 30, 2015. Total acquisition related costs were approximately $0.8 million. The Company determined it is impractical to include pro forma information given the difficulty in obtaining the historical financial information of DXI. Inclusion of such information would require the Company to make estimates and assumptions regarding DXI's historical financial results that we believe may ultimately prove inaccurate.

Quality Software Corporation

On June 18, 2015, the Company entered into an asset purchase agreement with the shareholder of Quality Software Corporation (QSC) and other parties affiliated with the shareholder and QSC for the purchase of certain assets as per the purchase agreement. The total aggregate fair value of the consideration was approximately $2.9 million, which was paid in cash to the QSC shareholder at closing. As part of the aggregate purchases price, there is also $0.5 million in contingent consideration payable subject to attainment of certain revenue and product release milestones for the acquired business, and $0.3 million in cash held by the Company in escrow to be retained for two years as security against indemnity claims made by the Company after the closing date. The preliminary fair value of the contingent consideration and escrow amounts was $0.7 million at the acquisition date.

The Company recorded the acquired identifiable intangible assets and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values. The excess of the consideration transferred over the aggregate fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed is recorded as goodwill. The amount of goodwill recognized is primarily attributable to the expected contributions of the entity to the overall corporate strategy in addition to synergies and acquired workforce of the acquired business. The finite−lived intangible assets consist of the following: customer relationships, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of five years; and developed technology, with an estimated weighted-average useful life of seven years. The indefinite lived intangible asset consisted of a tradename. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired was based on estimates and assumptions made by management using various income approach methods. Intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis.

The preliminary fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed are as follows (in thousands):

Estimated
Fair Value
Assets acquired:
     Intangible assets$1,675 
     Goodwill1,214 
          Total consideration transferred$2,889 

The goodwill recognized is expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

QSC's contributions to revenue and income for the period from the date of acquisition to June 30, 2015 was not material. Total acquisition related costs were approximately $0.1 million.

We make a full set of unified communications capabilities including cloud telephony, contact center, video and web conferencing available from anywhere in the world. With 8x8 analytics and virtual desktop software and services. These communication and collaboration servicesreporting, our customers have a robust suite of web based tools that provide enterprise-level analytics that can be used to make highly informed business decisions, whether employees are offered frommobile via the Internet cloud viamobile client or in-office using a software-as-a-service subscription. We also provide cloud-based computing services. As of December 31, 2014, we had approximately 41,100 business customers.softphone, or a desk phone. Since fiscal 2004, substantially all of our revenue has been generated from the sale, license and provision of these cloud products, services and technology.communications services. Prior to fiscal 2003, our focus was on our Voice over Internet Protocol semiconductor business.

Our fiscal year ends on March 31 of each calendar year. Each reference to a fiscal year in this report refers to the fiscal year ending March 31 of the calendar year indicated (for example, fiscal 20152016 refers to the fiscal year ending March 31, 2015)2016).

SUMMARY AND OUTLOOK

In the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2015,2016, our new monthly recurring revenue from midmarketsold to mid-market customers and by channel sales teams increased 42% year over year,38% year-over-year reflecting strong demand for our services in our target market segment. Revenue from midmarket customers increased 40% year-over year and now represents 42%45% of our total service revenue. Average monthly service revenue per business customer increased 11%20% to a record $305,$353, compared with $274$293 in the same period last year. Of the $353, DXI contributed $27 to our average monthly service revenue per customer. DXI revenues are primarily usage based. As such, revenues and average monthly service revenue per customer can fluctuate from quarter to quarter. The Company added more than 1,000 net new customers in our first fiscal quarter excluding customers from DXI.

In addition, we closed the acquisitions of DXI and QSC, which broaden our geographic footprint in the UK and Europe, expand our cloud communications portfolio, and add technical development talent in both London, England and Cluj, Romania. We also enhanced our contact center capabilities with focused R&D to deliver one of the most complete platform of cloud-based communications services available to midmarket and enterprise customers. Our ability to offer a broad range of cloud-based mission critical communications services is bringing us larger deals where we continue to displace incumbent, premises-based systems.

As we continue our focus on building a more profitable and sustaining midmarket customer base, one that contributes significantly greater lifetime value than the average small business customer, we are adding fewer one - twofive line business customers. During the quarter, we saw a reduction in net customer additions from our historical average. Our net customer additions were lower this quarter primarily due to the end of life reduction of very small iTelConnect customers, which we acquired in 2008, and an emphasis on the part of our sales team on selling larger deals. We expect this trend to continue with further reduction in our previously acquired iTel customer base andbased on our continued focus on selling to larger businesses. As our average business customer size continues to grow, 8x8 management believes the net additional customer metric no longer correlates to our monthly recurring and top line revenue growth.

2420


In spite of our reduction in net new customer adds, our increased focus on customer support is yielding continued low monthly business service revenue churn across our entire business customer base at 1.0% during the quarter, compared with 1.5% in the same period a year ago. In addition to building a dedicated and responsive customer service organization, we have implemented a rapid customer deployment model that we believe is unparalleled in our industry.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES & ESTIMATES

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based upon our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenue and expenses, and related disclosure of assets and liabilities. On an on-going basis, we evaluate our critical accounting policies and estimates. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. Actual results may differ from these estimates under different assumptions or conditions.

Average monthly service revenue per customer increased from $293 at June 30, 2014 to $353 for at June 30, 2015. We expect growth in the number of business subscriber base grew from approximately 36,800 business customers on December 31, 2013, to approximately 41,100 on December 31, 2014, and average monthly service revenue per customer increased from $274 at December 31, 2013 to $305 at December 31, 2014. 

Cloud communication and collaboration service revenues increasedcontinue to grow in the nine months of fiscal 2015 also primarily due to the increases in our business customer subscriber base (net of customer churn) and average monthly service revenue per customer.

Cash provided by operating activities has historically been affected by the amount of net income (loss), sales of subscriptions, changes in working capital accounts particularly in deferred revenue due to timing of annual plan renewals, add-backs of non-cash expense items such as the use of deferred tax assets, depreciation and amortization and the expense associated with stock-based awards.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

Foreign Currency

Our financial market risk consists primarily of risks associated with international operations and related foreign currencies. We derive a portion of our revenue from customers in Europe and Asia. In order to reduce the risk from fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, the vast majority of our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars. In addition, almost all of our arrangements with our contract manufacturers are denominated in U.S. dollars. We have not entered into any currency hedging activities. To date, our exposure to exchange rate volatility has not been significant; however, there can be no assurance that there will not be a material impact in the future.

Investments

The primary objective of our investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing income without significantly increasing risk. Some of the securities in which we invest may be subject to market risk. This means that a change in prevailing interest rates may cause the principal amount of the investment to fluctuate. To minimize this risk, we may maintain our portfolio of cash equivalents and investments in a variety of securities, including commercial paper, money market funds, debt securities and certificates of deposit. The risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to our investment portfolio and we do not believe that a 10% change in interest rates would have a significant impact on our interest income.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 ("Disclosure Controls")(Disclosure Controls) that are designed to ensure that information we are required to disclose in reports filed or submitted under the Securities and Exchange Act of 1934 is accumulated and communicated to management, including our principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure, and that such information is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms.

As of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, under the supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer, we evaluated the effectiveness of our Disclosure Controls. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and our Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our Disclosure Controls were effective as of December 31, 2014.June 30, 2015.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, do not expect that our Disclosure Controls or internal control over financial reporting will prevent all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system's objectives will be met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

During the thirdfirst quarter of fiscal 2015,2016, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
