	Basis of Presentation and Significant Accounting Policies
	Infinera Corporation (the “Company”) prepared its interim condensed consolidated financial statements that accompany these notes in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”), consistent in all material respects with those applied in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.
	The Company has made certain estimates, assumptions and judgments that can affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements, as well as the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the periods presented. Significant estimates, assumptions and judgments made by management include revenue recognition, stock-based compensation, inventory valuation, allowances for sales returns, allowances for doubtful accounts, accrued warranty, fair value measurement of the liability component of the convertible senior notes, fair value measurement of cash equivalents, investments and derivative instruments, other-than-temporary impairments and accounting for income taxes. Management believes that the estimates and judgments upon which they rely are reasonable based upon information available to them at the time that these estimates and judgments are made. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates and actual results, the Company’s consolidated financial statements will be affected.
	The interim financial information is unaudited, but reflects all adjustments that are, in management’s opinion, necessary to provide a fair presentation of results for the interim periods presented. All adjustments are of a normal recurring nature. The Company reclassified certain amounts reported in previous periods to conform to the current presentation. This interim information should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.
	There have been no material changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies for the six months ended June 28, 2014 as compared to those disclosed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.

	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In July 2013, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update 2013-11, "Income Taxes - Presentation of an Unrecognized Tax Benefit When a Net Operating Loss Carry Forward, a Similar Tax Loss, or a Tax Credit Carry Forwards Exists" (“ASU 2013-11”). ASU 2013-11 requires entities to present the unrecognized tax benefits in the financial statements as a reduction to a deferred tax asset for a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward. ASU 2013-11 is effective for annual and interim periods for fiscal years beginning on or after December 15, 2013. The Company's adoption of ASU 2013-11 during the first quarter of 2014 had no impact on the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flow.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts from Customers" ("ASU 2014-09"). ASU 2014-09 provides a single comprehensive model for entities to use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific guidance. ASU 2014-09 will require an entity to recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. This update creates a five-step model that requires entities to exercise judgment when considering the terms of the contract(s) which include (i) identifying the contract(s) with the customer, (ii) identifying the separate performance obligations in the contract, (iii) determining the transaction price, (iv) allocating the transaction price to the separate performance obligations, and (v) recognizing revenue when each performance obligation is satisfied. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of 2017. The Company has the option to apply the provisions of ASU 2014-09 either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect of applying this ASU recognized at the date of initial application. Early adoption is not permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the method and impact the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on the Company's condensed consolidated financial statements.
	In June 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update 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" ("ASU 2014-12"). ASU 2014-12 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 quarter of fiscal 2017 with early adoption permitted using either of two methods: (i) prospective to 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 statements 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 evaluating the impact of the pending adoption on ASU 2014-12 on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

	Fair Value Measurements and Other-Than-Temporary Impairments
	Fair Value Measurements
	Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and its subsequent updates, fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market in which it would transact and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
	Valuation techniques used by the Company are based upon observable and unobservable inputs. Observable or market inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company’s assumptions about market participant assumptions based on the best information available. Observable inputs are the preferred source of values. These two types of inputs create the following fair value hierarchy:
	Level 1		–		Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
	Level 2		–		Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-based valuation techniques for which all significant assumptions are observable in the market or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities.
	Level 3		–		Prices or valuations that require management inputs that are both significant to the fair value measurement and unobservable.
	The Company measures its cash equivalents, foreign currency exchange forward contracts and debt securities at fair value and classifies its securities in accordance with the fair value hierarchy. The Company’s money market funds and U.S. treasuries are classified within Level 1 of the fair value hierarchy and are valued based on quoted prices in active markets for identical securities.
	The Company classifies its certificates of deposit, commercial paper, corporate bonds and foreign currency exchange forward contracts within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as follows:
	Certificates of Deposit
	The Company reviews market pricing and other observable market inputs for the same or similar securities obtained from a number of industry standard data providers. In the event that a transaction is observed for the same or similar security in the marketplace, the price on that transaction reflects the market price and fair value on that day. In the absence of any observable market transactions for a particular security, the fair market value at period end would be equal to the par value. These inputs represent quoted prices for similar assets or these inputs have been derived from observable market data.
	Commercial Paper
	The Company reviews market pricing and other observable market inputs for the same or similar securities obtained from a number of industry standard data providers. In the event that a transaction is observed for the same or similar security in the marketplace, the price on that transaction reflects the market price and fair value on that day and then follows a revised accretion schedule to determine the fair market value at period end. In the absence of any observable market transactions for a particular security, the fair market value at period end is derived by accreting from the last observable market price. These inputs represent quoted prices for similar assets or these inputs have been derived from observable market data accreted mathematically to par.
	Corporate Bonds
	The Company reviews trading activity and pricing for each of the corporate bond securities in its portfolio as of the measurement date and determines if pricing data of sufficient frequency and volume in an active market exists in order to support Level 1 classification of these securities. If sufficient quoted pricing for identical securities is not available, the Company obtains market pricing and other observable market inputs for similar securities from a number of industry standard data providers. In instances where multiple prices exist for similar securities, these prices are used as inputs into a distribution-curve to determine the fair market value at period end.
	Foreign Currency Exchange Forward Contracts
	As discussed in Note 5, “Derivative Instruments,” to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements, the Company mainly holds non-speculative foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge certain foreign currency exchange exposures. The Company estimates the fair values of derivatives based on quoted market prices or pricing models using current market rates. Where applicable, these models project future cash flows and discount the future amounts to a present value using market-based observable inputs including interest rate curves, credit risk, foreign exchange rates, and forward and spot prices for currencies.
	As of June 28, 2014, none of the Company’s existing securities were classified as Level 3 securities.
	The following tables represent the Company’s fair value hierarchy for its assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Net realized gains (losses) on short-term and long-term investments were zero and $0.2 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, respectively. The specific identification method is used to account for gains and losses on available-for-sale investments.
	As of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, the Company held $53.3 million and $64.6 million of cash in banks, respectively.
	Other-Than-Temporary Impairments
	As a result of the Company’s disposal of $3.1 million of its remaining auction rate securities (par value) during the first quarter of 2013, it recorded an approximately $0.2 million gain, which was recognized as other gain (loss), net in the Company’s condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Cost-method Investment	'
	Cost-method Investment
	As of June 28, 2014, the Company’s investment in a privately-held company was $9.0 million. This investment is accounted for as a cost-method investment, as the Company owns less than 20% of the voting securities and does not have the ability to exercise significant influence over operating and financial policies of the entity. The Company’s cost-method investment is carried at historical cost in its condensed consolidated financial statements and measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis. If the Company believes that the carrying value of the cost basis investment is in excess of estimated fair value, the Company’s policy is to record an impairment charge in other income (expense), net in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations to adjust the carrying value to estimated fair value, when the impairment is deemed other-than-temporary. The Company regularly evaluates the carrying value of this cost-method investment for impairment. As of June 28, 2014, no event had occurred that would adversely affect the carrying value of this investment, therefore, the fair value of the cost-method investment is not estimated. The Company did not record any impairment charges for this cost-method investment during the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013.

	Foreign Currency Exchange Forward Contracts
	The Company enters into foreign currency exchange forward contracts to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign exchange rates that arise primarily from its euro and British pound denominated receivables and euro denominated restricted cash balance amounts that are pledged as collateral for certain stand-by and commercial letters of credit. Gains and losses on these contracts are intended to offset the impact of foreign exchange rate fluctuations on the underlying foreign currency denominated accounts receivables and restricted cash, and therefore, do not subject the Company to material balance sheet risk. The forward contracts are with one high-quality institution and the Company consistently monitors the creditworthiness of the counterparty. The forward contracts entered into during the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 were denominated in euros and British pounds, and had maturities of no more than 35 days.

Earnings Per Share [Abstract]	'
Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share	'
	Basic and Diluted Net Income (Loss) Per Common Share
	Basic net income (loss) per common share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per common share is computed using net income (loss) and the weighted average number of common shares outstanding plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period. Potentially dilutive common shares include the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units (“RSUs”) and performance stock units (“PSUs”), assumed conversion of convertible senior notes from the conversion spread, and assumed issuance of stock under the Company’s employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) using the treasury stock method. The Company includes the common shares underlying PSUs in the calculation of diluted net income per share only when they become contingently issuable. In net loss periods, these potentially diluted common shares are anti-dilutive and therefore, excluded from the diluted net loss calculation.
	The following table sets forth the computation of net income (loss) per common share – basic and diluted (in thousands, except per share amounts):
		Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
		28-Jun-14			29-Jun-13			28-Jun-14		29-Jun-13

	Diluted	$	0.04		$	(0.09	)	$0.00		$	(0.22	)
	The number of shares outstanding used in the computation of basic and diluted net income (loss) per share does not include the effect of the following potential outstanding common stock. The effects of these potentially outstanding shares were not included in the calculation of diluted net income (loss) per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive under the treasury stock method or the performance condition of the award has not been met (in thousands):
		Three Months Ended					Six Months Ended
		28-Jun-14		29-Jun-13			28-Jun-14		29-Jun-13

	Employee stock purchase plan shares	697		601			708		601
	Total	1,801		15,080			2,191		15,080
	In the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, the Company excluded the potential shares issued upon early conversion of the convertible senior notes in the calculation of diluted earnings per share because the market price was below the conversion price. In the future, the Company would include these dilutive effects of the convertible senior notes in the calculation of diluted net income per common share if the market price is above the conversion price. Upon conversion of the convertible senior notes, it is the Company’s intention to pay cash equal to the lesser of the aggregate principal amount or the conversion value of the notes being converted, therefore, only the conversion spread relating to the notes would be included in the Company’s diluted earnings per share calculation unless their effect is anti-dilutive.

Convertible Senior Notes	'
	Convertible Senior Notes
	In May 2013, the Company issued $150.0 million of 1.75% convertible senior notes due June 1, 2018 (the “Notes”). The Notes will mature on June 1, 2018, unless earlier purchased by the Company or converted. Interest is payable semi-annually in arrears on June 1 and December 1 of each year, commencing December 1, 2013. The net proceeds to the Company were approximately $144.5 million.
	The Notes are governed by an indenture dated as of May 30, 2013 (the “Indenture”), between the Company, as issuer, and U.S. Bank National Association, as trustee. The Notes are unsecured and do not contain any financial covenants or any restrictions on the payment of dividends, the incurrence of senior debt or other indebtedness, or the issuance or repurchase of securities by the Company.
	Upon conversion, it is the Company’s intention to pay cash equal to the lesser of the aggregate principal amount and the conversion value of the Notes being converted and cash, shares of common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s election, for any remaining conversion obligation. The initial conversion rate is 79.4834 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of Notes, subject to anti-dilution adjustments. The initial conversion price is approximately $12.58 per share of common stock.
	Throughout the term of the Notes, the conversion rate may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain events, including for any cash dividends. Holders of the Notes will not receive any cash payment representing accrued and unpaid interest upon conversion of a Note. Accrued but unpaid interest will be deemed to be paid in full upon conversion rather than canceled, extinguished or forfeited. Holders may convert their Notes under the following circumstances:
	•	during any fiscal quarter commencing after the fiscal quarter ended on September 28, 2013 (and only during such fiscal quarter) if the last reported sale price of the common stock for at least 20 trading days (whether or not consecutive) during a period of 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding fiscal quarter is greater than or equal to 130% of the conversion price on each applicable trading day;
	•	during the five business day period after any five consecutive trading day period (the “measurement period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of Notes for each trading day of the measurement period was less than 98% of the product of the last reported sale price of the Company’s common stock and the conversion rate on each such trading day;
	•	upon the occurrence of specified corporate events described under the Indenture, such as a consolidation, merger or binding share exchange; or
	•	at any time on or after December 1, 2017 until the close of business on the second scheduled trading day immediately preceding the maturity date, holders may convert their Notes at any time, regardless of the foregoing circumstances.
	If the Company undergoes a fundamental change as defined in the Indenture governing the Notes, holders may require the Company to repurchase for cash all or any portion of their Notes at a repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes to be repurchased, plus accrued and unpaid interest to, but excluding, the fundamental change repurchase date. In addition, upon the occurrence of a “make-whole fundamental change” (as defined in the Indenture), the Company will, in certain circumstances, increase the conversion rate by a number of additional shares for a holder that elects to convert its Notes in connection with such make-whole fundamental change.
	The amounts recorded in connection with the issuance of the Notes and related amortization consisted of the following (in thousands):
		Other Non-Current Assets			Long-Term Debt			Additional Paid-in Capital
	Principal amount	$	—		$	150,000		$	—
	Debt discount	—			(45,000		)	—

	Amortization of debt issuance cost	(682		)	—			—
	Amortization of debt discount	—			7,932			—
	Net carrying amount at June 28, 2014	$	3,190		$	112,932		$	43,341
	In accounting for the issuance of the Notes, the Company separated the Notes into liability and equity components. The carrying amount of the liability component was calculated by measuring the fair value of a similar debt instrument that does not have an associated convertible feature. The carrying amount of the equity component representing the conversion option was determined by deducting the fair value of the liability component from the par value of the Notes. The equity component is not remeasured as long as it continues to meet the conditions for equity classification. The excess of the principal amount of the liability component over its carrying amount (“debt discount”) is amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes. The remaining debt discount amount to be amortized over the remaining years until maturity of the Notes was $37.1 million as of June 28, 2014.
	In accounting for the issuance costs of $5.5 million related to the Notes, the Company allocated the total amount incurred to the liability and equity components of the Notes based on their relative values. Issuance costs attributable to the liability component were recorded as other non-current assets and will be amortized to interest expense over the term of the Notes. The issuance costs attributable to the equity component were netted with the equity component in stockholders’ equity. Additionally, the Company initially recorded a deferred tax liability of $17.0 million in connection with the issuance of the Notes, and a corresponding reduction in valuation allowance. The impact of both was recorded to stockholders’ equity.
	The Company determined that the embedded conversion option in the Notes does not require separate accounting treatment as a derivative instrument because it is both indexed to the Company’s own stock and would be classified in stockholder’s equity if freestanding.
	The following table sets forth total interest expense recognized related to the Notes (in thousands):
		Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
		28-Jun-14			29-Jun-13			28-Jun-14			29-Jun-13
	Contractual interest expense	$	656		$	219		$	1,313		$	219
	Amortization of debt issuance costs	164			50			324			50
	Amortization of debt discount	1,908			580			3,768			580
	Total interest expense	$	2,728		$	849		$	5,405		$	849
	The coupon rate was 1.75%. The debt discount and debt issuance costs are amortized, using an annual effective interest rate of 10.23%, to interest expense over the term of the Notes.
	As of June 28, 2014, the fair value of the Notes was $160.1 million. The fair value was determined based on the quoted bid price of the Notes in an over-the-counter market on June 27, 2014. The Notes are classified as Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy. Based on the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $9.55 on June 27, 2014, the if-converted value of the Notes was less than their principal amount.

	The aggregate intrinsic value of unexercised options is calculated as the difference between the closing price of the Company’s common stock of $9.55 at June 27, 2014 and the exercise prices of the underlying options. The aggregate intrinsic value of the options that have been exercised is calculated as the difference between the fair market value of the common stock at the date of exercise and the exercise price of the underlying options. The aggregate intrinsic value of unreleased RSUs and unreleased PSUs is calculated using the closing price of the Company's common stock of $9.55 at June 27, 2014. The aggregate intrinsic value of RSUs and PSUs released is calculated using the fair market value of the common stock at the date of release.
	The following table presents total stock-based compensation cost for instruments granted but not yet amortized, net of estimated forfeitures, of the Company’s equity compensation plans as of June 28, 2014.

During the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, the Company granted RSUs to employees and members of the Company’s board of directors to receive an aggregate of 1.8 million shares and 2.3 million shares of the Company’s common stock, respectively. The Company accounted for the fair value of the RSUs using the closing market price of the Company’s common stock on the date of grant. Amortization of stock-based compensation related to RSUs in the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 was approximately $5.3 million and $10.3 million, respectively, and $5.8 million and$12.7 million, respectively.
Performance Stock Units
Pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Plan, during fiscal 2012, the Company granted 0.5 million shares of PSUs to certain of its executive officers. These PSUs will only vest upon the achievement of certain specific revenue and operating profit criteria and are subject to each named executive officer’s continued service to the Company. If the financial performance metrics are not met within the time limits specified in the award agreements, the PSUs will be canceled. During the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, the Company did not release any shares subject to these PSUs.
Pursuant to the Company’s 2007 Plan, during fiscal 2013, the Company granted 0.6 million shares of PSUs to certain of its executive officers. The number of shares to be issued upon vesting of PSUs range from 0 to 1.5 times the number of PSUs granted depending on the relative performance of the Company’s common stock price compared to the NASDAQ Telecom Composite Index over the span of one, two and three years of total shareholder returns. During the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, the Company released no shares and 0.3 million shares of PSUs, respectively, based on a payout of 1.5 times of the target number of PSUs.
The ranges of estimated values of the PSUs granted, as well as assumptions used in calculating these values were based on estimates as follows:

	Provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 was $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, on pre-tax income of $5.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively. This compared to a tax provision of $0.6 million and $0.9 million, respectively, on pre-tax losses of $9.4 million and $24.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013. In all periods, the tax expense primarily represents foreign taxes of the Company's overseas subsidiaries compensated on a cost plus basis and remains relatively similar in all periods, regardless of the level of consolidated earnings. The Company does not provide for tax on U.S. income, nor benefit U.S. losses, because of its significant loss carryforward position and a corresponding full valuation allowance. The release of transfer pricing reserves in the future will have a beneficial impact to tax expense, but the timing of the impact depends on factors such as expiration of the statute of limitations or settlements with tax authorities. No significant releases are expected in the near future based on information available at this time.
	The realization of tax benefits of deferred tax assets is dependent upon future levels of taxable income, of an appropriate character, in the periods the items are scheduled to be deductible or taxable. Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the domestic net deferred tax assets will not be realizable. Accordingly, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against its domestic deferred tax assets, net of deferred tax liabilities, as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013. In determining future taxable income, the Company makes assumptions to forecast federal, state and international operating income, the reversal of taxable temporary differences, and the implementation of any feasible and prudent tax planning strategies. The assumptions require judgment regarding the forecasts of future taxable income and are consistent with the Company’s forecasts used to manage its business. The Company intends to maintain the remaining valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support a reversal of, or decrease, in the valuation allowance.

Segment Information	'
	Segment Information
	Operating segments are defined as components of an enterprise about which separate financial information is available that is evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker, or decision making group, in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company’s chief operating decision maker is the Company’s Chief Executive Officer ("CEO"). The Company’s CEO reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis, accompanied by information about revenue by geographic region for purposes of allocating resources and evaluating financial performance. The Company has one business activity. Accordingly, the Company is considered to be in a single reporting segment and operating unit structure.
	Revenue by geographic region is based on the shipping address of the customer. The following tables set forth revenue and long-lived assets by geographic region (in thousands):

	Guarantees
	Product Warranties
	Upon delivery of products, the Company provides for the estimated cost to repair or replace products including the related components that may be returned under hardware warranties. In general, hardware warranty periods range from one to five years. Hardware warranties provide the purchaser with protection in the event that the product does not perform to product specifications. During the warranty period, the purchaser’s sole and exclusive remedy in the event of such defect or failure to perform is limited to the correction of the defect or failure by repair or replacement. The Company estimates its hardware warranty obligations based on the Company’s historical experience of known product failure rates, use of materials and labor to repair or replace defective products, and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failures. In addition, from time to time, specific hardware warranty accruals may be made if unforeseen technical problems arise with specific products. Management periodically assesses the adequacy of the Company’s recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.

	Litigation and Contingencies
	Legal Matters
	From time to time, the Company is subject to various legal proceedings, claims and litigation arising in the ordinary course of business. While the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, the Company does not expect that the ultimate costs to resolve these matters will have a material effect on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
	Cambrian Science Patent Infringement Litigation
	On July 12, 2011, the Company was notified by Level 3 that Cambrian Science Corporation (“Cambrian”) filed suit against Level 3 and six other defendants, including Cox Communications, Inc., XO Communications, LLC, Global Crossing Limited, 360Networks (USA), Inc., Integra Telecom, Inc. and IXC, Inc. dba Telekenex (collectively, the “Defendants”) in the U.S. District Court for the Central District of California alleging infringement of patent no. 6,775,312 (the “’312 Patent”) and requesting damages for such alleged infringement (the “Cambrian Claim”). The nature of the Cambrian Claim involves allegations of infringement of the ’312 Patent resulting from the Defendants’ use of certain products and systems in the Defendants’ networks, including our DTN platform. On August 24, 2011, Cambrian amended the complaint to name the Company as a defendant. The Company assumed the defense of the Cambrian Claim and filed an answer to Cambrian’s complaint on September 21, 2011, in which the Company denied infringement of the ‘312 Patent and raised other defenses. Cambrian filed a second amended complaint on October 6, 2011, which included many of the same allegations as in the original complaint. The Company filed its answer to the second amended complaint on October 21, 2011, in which the Company maintained the same denials and defenses as in the Company’s initial answer. On December 23, 2011, the Company filed a motion requesting that the court stay the case with respect to each of the above-noted customer Defendants. Cambrian filed its opposition to the Company’s motion on December 30, 2011. The Company’s request was denied in the court’s decision on March 7, 2012. The Company presented evidence on the appropriate meanings of relevant key words used in the patent claims during a claim construction hearing on November 20, 2012.
	On June 17, 2013, the court issued an order regarding claim construction, in which the court agreed with almost all of the Company’s proposed claim constructions. On October 17, 2013, the parties met for a court-mandated mediation. On April 24, 2014, the Company filed two motions for summary judgment relating to non-infringement and Cambrian’s claim to an earlier date of invention. The court held a hearing on the summary judgment motions on June 9, 2014. On July 2, 2014, the court granted the Company's motion for summary judgment on non-infringement and entered a final judgment of non-infringement of the ‘312 Patent. Cambrian may appeal the court’s ruling of non-infringement to the Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit. The Company is seeking to recover certain costs and attorney's fees from Cambrian.
	Based on the information available at this time, the Company has concluded that the likelihood of a loss with respect to this suit is reasonably possible. The Company has further concluded that the range of the reasonably possible loss is an insignificant amount and will not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Accordingly, the Company has accrued an insignificant amount, which did not have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, consolidated financial position, results of operations, or cash flows. Factors that the Company considered in the determination of the likelihood of a loss and the estimate of that loss in respect to this matter included the merits of the case, the nature of the litigation (including the complex and technical nature of patent litigation), the length of time the matter has been pending, the status of the plaintiff as a non-operating entity and the likelihood of the plaintiff accepting the estimated amount. However, the outcome of such legal matters is inherently unpredictable and subject to significant uncertainties.
	Loss Contingencies
	The Company is subject to the possibility of various losses arising in the ordinary course of business. These may relate to disputes, litigation and other legal actions. In the preparation of its quarterly and annual financial statements, the Company considers the likelihood of loss or the incurrence of a liability, including whether it is probable, reasonably possible or remote that a liability has been incurred, as well as the Company’s ability to reasonably estimate the amount of loss, in determining loss contingencies. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, an estimated loss contingency is accrued when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. The Company regularly evaluates current information to determine whether any accruals should be adjusted and whether new accruals are required. As of June 28, 2014, the Company has not accrued or recorded any such material liabilities other than for the accrual associated with the Cambrian lawsuit.
