Note 6. Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities
Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. We maximizeThe Company maximizes the use of observable inputs and minimizeminimizes the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value and establishestablished a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the observable inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:

12



Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or observable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.
The estimated fair values and valuation input levels of our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of DecemberSeptember 29, 2023 and June 30, 2022 and July 1, 20222023 were as follows:

We classify items in Level 2 if the observable inputs to quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources are available with reasonable levels of price transparency. OurThe Company’s bank certificates of deposit are classified within Level 2. The carrying value of bank certificates of deposit approximates their fair value.

Note 5. Credit Facility and Debt
On May 17, 2021, we entered into Amendment No. 4 to Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “SVB Credit Facility”) which extended the expiration date to June 28, 2024. The SVB Credit Facility provides for a $25.0 million accounts receivable formula-based revolving credit facility that can be borrowed by our U.S. company, with a $25.0 million sub-limit that can be borrowed by our U.S. and Singapore entities. Loans may be advanced under the SVB Credit Facility based on a borrowing base equal to a specified percentage of the value of eligible accounts of the borrowers under the SVB Credit Facility. The borrowing base is subject to certain eligibility criteria. Availability under the accounts receivable formula based revolving credit facility can also be utilized to issue letters of credit with a $12.0 million sub-limit. We may prepay loans under the SVB Credit Facility in whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. As of December 30, 2022, available credit under the SVB Credit Facility was $22.0 million, reflecting the available limit of $25.0 million less outstanding letters of credit of $3.0 million. We borrowed and repaid $24.0 million against the SVB Credit Facility during the six months ended December 30, 2022 and the interest rate was 6.07%. As of December 30, 2022 there was no borrowing outstanding.
The SVB Credit Facility carries an interest rate computed, at our option, based on either (i) at the prime rate reported in the Wall Street Journal plus a spread of 0.50% to 1.50%, with such spread determined based on our adjusted quick ratio; or (ii) if we satisfy a minimum adjusted quick ratio, a LIBOR rate determined in accordance with the SVB Credit Facility, plus a spread of 2.75%. Any outstanding Singapore subsidiary borrowed loans shall bear interest at an additional 2.00% above the applicable prime or LIBOR rate.
The SVB Credit Facility contains quarterly financial covenants including minimum adjusted quick ratio and minimum profitability (EBITDA) requirements. In the event our adjusted quick ratio falls below a certain level, cash received in our accounts with Silicon Valley Bank may be directly applied to reduce outstanding obligations under the SVB Credit Facility. The SVB Credit Facility also imposes certain restrictions on our ability to dispose of assets, permit a change in control, merge or consolidate, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, make certain restricted payments, and enter into transactions with affiliates under certain circumstances. Certain of our assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment, are pledged as collateral for the SVB Credit Facility. Upon an event of default, outstanding obligations would be immediately due and payable. Under certain circumstances, a default interest rate will apply on all obligations during the existence of an event of default at a per annum rate of interest equal to 5.00% above the applicable interest rate. As of December 30, 2022, we were in compliance with the quarterly financial covenants contained in the SVB Credit Facility, as amended.
Note 6. Revenue Recognition7. Credit Facility and Debt
Contract Balances, Performance Obligations,In May 2023, the Company entered into a Secured Credit Facility Agreement (the “Credit Facility”) with Wells Fargo Bank, National Association, as administrative agent, swingline lender and Backlogissuing lender and Wells Fargo Securities LLC, Citigroup Global Markets Inc., and Regions Capital Markets as lenders. The Credit Facility provides for a $40.0 million revolving credit facility (the “Revolver”) and a $50.0 million Delayed Draw Term Loan Facility (the “Term Loan”) with a maturity date of May 8, 2028. The $40.0 million Revolver can be borrowed with a $10.0 million sublimit for letters of credit, and a $10.0 million swingline loan sublimit. The Term Loan has a funding date on or prior to the closing date of the NEC Transaction (as defined below) with the proceeds intended to be used to settle the cash portion of the consideration and any related expenses. See Note 12. Acquisitions for further information. Deferred financing costs of $0.8 million were paid in association with entering into the Credit Facility.

As of September 29, 2023, the available credit under the Revolver was $38.8 million, reflecting the available limit of $40.0 million less outstanding letters of credit of $1.2 million. The available credit under the Term Loan was $50.0 million. The Company borrowed $25.2 million and repaid $25.2 million against the Revolver during the three months ended September 29, 2023. There was no borrowing outstanding for either the Revolver or Term Loan as of September 29, 2023.
Outstanding borrowings under the Credit Facility bear interest at either: (a) Adjusted Term Secured Overnight Financing Rate (“SOFR”) plus the applicable margin; or (b) the Base Rate plus the applicable margin. The following table provides information about receivablespricing levels for interest rate margins are determined based on the Consolidated Total Leverage Ratio as determined and liabilities from contracts with customers (in thousands):adjusted quarterly. As of September 29, 2023, the applicable margin on Adjusted Term SOFR and Base Rate borrowings was 2.75% and 1.75%, respectively.

Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities”Liabilities of the Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on management’s evaluation, with the participation of our President and CEO, and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as of December 30, 2022,September 29, 2023, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, in a manner that allows for timely decisions regarding required disclosures and is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal controls over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) that occurred during the quarter ended December 30, 2022September 29, 2023 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
25



Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
Our management, including our CEO and CFO, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect 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. 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. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.
