	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
	The condensed consolidated financial statements of NeoPhotonics Corporation (“NeoPhotonics” or the “Company”) as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, have been prepared in accordance with the instructions on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In accordance with those rules and regulations, the Company has omitted certain information and notes normally provided in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, except as otherwise noted, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
	Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties
	The Company operates in a dynamic industry and, accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors.  For example, any of the following areas could have a negative effect on the Company in terms of its future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: the general state of the U.S. and world economies, the highly cyclical nature of the industries the Company serves; the loss of any of a small number of its larger customers; ability to obtain additional financing; inability to meet certain debt covenants; failure to successfully integrate completed acquisitions; fundamental changes in the technology underlying the Company’s products; the hiring, training and retention of key employees; successful and timely completion of product design efforts; and new product design introductions by competitors.
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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 financial statements and the reported revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include: the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as well as future cash flows to be generated by those assets; fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations; allowances for doubtful accounts; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; write off of excess and obsolete inventories and the valuations, warranty reserves and recognition of stock-based compensation, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
	Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
	There have been no changes in the Company’s significant accounting policies for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013.
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (“ASU 2014-11”). The standard (1) requires companies to account for repurchase-to-maturity transactions as secured borrowings, (2) requires separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, resulting in secured borrowing accounting for repurchase financing transactions, and (3) expands disclosure requirements related to certain transfers of financial assets that are accounted for as sales and certain transfers (specifically, repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions) accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 is effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is not permitted for public entities. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). The standard provides companies with a single model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The core principle of the model is to recognize revenue when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer, as opposed to recognizing revenue when the risks and rewards transfer to the customer under the existing revenue guidance. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The guidance permits companies to either apply the requirements retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or apply the requirements in the year of adoption, through a cumulative adjustment.  The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08") which raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. ASU 2014-08 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued amendments to the FASB Accounting Standard Codification on Income Taxes, to improve the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This guidance is expected to reduce diversity in practice and is expected to better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exists. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.

	There were no assets or liabilities measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis as of June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013.
	Assets and Liabilities Not Measured at Fair Value
	The carrying values of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and notes payable approximate their fair values due to the short-term nature and liquidity of these financial instruments.
	The fair values of the Company’s long-term debt have been calculated using an estimate of the interest rate the Company would have had to pay on the issuance of liabilities with a similar maturity and discounting the cash flows at that rate which it considers to be a level 2 fair value measurement. The fair values do not necessarily give an indication of the amount that the Company would currently have to pay to extinguish any of this debt.
	The fair value of the Company’s variable rate bank borrowings and acquisition-related debt was not materially different than its carrying value as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 as the interest rates approximated rates currently available to the Company.

Business Combination	'
	Note 5. Business combination
	On March 29, 2013 (the “closing date”) the Company acquired certain assets and assumed certain liabilities related to the semiconductor Optical Components Business Unit (the “OCU”) of LAPIS Semiconductor Co., Ltd., a wholly owned subsidiary of Rohm Co., Ltd (“LAPIS”) of Japan with the intention of operating the OCU as an ongoing business. The business is now known as NeoPhotonics Semiconductor.
	Total consideration for NeoPhotonics Semiconductor was $24.3 million, including cash of $15.0 million paid through June 30, 2013 and notes payable of $11.1 million (see Note 8), partially offset by a net receivable from Lapis of $1.9 million that was received subsequent to June 30, 2013. The cash paid includes $2.0 million that was withheld and placed into escrow to cover certain indemnity obligations.
	In connection with the acquisition, the Company incurred approximately $5.2 million in acquisition-related transaction costs during the six months ended June 30, 2013 related to investment banking, legal, accounting and other professional services and transfer taxes related to real property acquired. The acquisition costs were expensed as incurred and were included in operating expenses in the Company’s condensed consolidated statement of operations.
	The Company accounted for its acquisition of the NeoPhotonics Semiconductor assets and assumed liabilities as a business combination. NeoPhotonics Semiconductor’s tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed were recorded based upon their estimated fair values as of the closing date of the acquisition.

	Notes payable
	The Company regularly issues notes payable to its suppliers in China in exchange for accounts payable. These notes are supported by noninterest bearing bank acceptance drafts issued under the Company’s existing line of credit facility and are due three to six months after issuance. As a condition of the notes payable arrangements, the Company is required to keep a compensating balance at the issuing banks that is a percentage of the total notes payable balance until the amounts are settled.
	At June 30, 2014, one of the Company’s subsidiaries in China had an outstanding bank acceptance draft of RMB 50 million ($8.1 million) which was issued to another of the Company’s subsidiaries that required a compensating balance of RMB 15 million ($2.4 million).  This bank acceptance draft can be sold for cash at a discount prior to its expiration in August 2014.  Compensating balances are classified as restricted cash and investments on the Company’s condensed consolidated balance sheets.
	As of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, restricted cash relating to these bank acceptance drafts issued to suppliers and the Company’s subsidiaries totaled $5.4 million and $2.1 million, respectively.
	In June 2014, the Company’s subsidiary in China renewed a short-term line of credit facility with a banking institution which expires in June 2015.  Under the agreement, RMB 160.0 million ($26.0 million) can be used for bank acceptance drafts (with a 25% compensating balance requirement) and up to RMB 120.0 million ($19.5 million) can be used for short-term loans, which will bear interest at varying rates depending upon the term.  As of June 30, 2014, this line of credit facility had an outstanding balance of $12.0 million relating to the non-interest bearing bank acceptance drafts issued in connection with the Company’s notes payable to its suppliers in China. The Company is in the process of renewing its second line of credit facility which expired in June 2014.
	Short-term borrowing
	In May 2014, the Company’s subsidiary in China borrowed CNY 50 million ($8.1 million) under a working capital loan agreement with a bank, which was outstanding at June 30, 2014.  The loan bears interest at 7% per annum.  Interest is payable monthly and the principal is due on November 23, 2014.
	Acquisition-related
	In connection with the acquisition of NeoPhotonics Semiconductor on March 29, 2013, the Company was obligated to pay 1,050 million Japanese Yen in three equal installments on the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing date for the purchase of the real estate used by NeoPhotonics Semiconductor, of which 700 million Japanese Yen ($6.9 million) was outstanding at June 30, 2014.  The obligation bears interest at 1.5% per year, payable annually, and is secured by the acquired real estate property.
	Bank borrowings
	The Company has a credit agreement with Comerica Bank as lead bank in the U.S., which has been amended several times. The components of the available credit facilities are as follows:
	—	A revolving credit facility under which there was nothing outstanding at June 30, 2014 or December 31, 2013 and $20.0 million was available for borrowing at June 30, 2014, subject to covenant requirements. Amounts borrowed are due on or before March 2016 and borrowings bear interest at an interest rate option of a base rate as defined in the agreement plus 1.75% or LIBOR plus 2.75%. As of June 30, 2014 the rate on the LIBOR option was 2.90%.
	—	A term loan facility of $28.0 million, under which $21.0 million and $24.5 million was outstanding at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively. Interest is payable quarterly in arrears and the principal is paid in equal quarterly installments over the term of the loan ending in June 2017. Borrowings under the term loan bear interest at an interest rate option of a base rate as defined in the agreement plus 2.0% or LIBOR plus 3.0%. As of June 30, 2014 the rate on the LIBOR option was 3.15%.
	The Company’s credit agreement requires the maintenance of specified financial covenants, including a debt to EBITDA ratio and liquidity ratios.  The agreement also restricts the Company’s ability to incur certain additional debt or to engage in specified transactions, restricts the payment of dividends and is secured by substantially all of its U.S. assets, other than intellectual property assets.
	On May 19, 2014, the Company executed an amendment to the credit agreement that waived the testing of certain covenants for compliance, provided that the Company maintain compensating balances equal to outstanding amounts under the credit agreement in accounts for which the bank will have sole access.  The Company intends to work with the bank in the coming months to restructure the credit agreement, including the covenant requirements.  In the absence of a restructured agreement, the Company believes it will need to continue to maintain the compensating balances at least through the end of 2014. As of June 30, 2014, the amount of the Company’s cash and investments in these compensating balance accounts was $21.0 million, which is classified as current and non-current restricted cash and investments on the Company’s June 30, 2014 condensed consolidated balance sheet (see Note 6).
	At June 30, 2014, maturities of long-term debt were as follows (in thousands):
	2014 (remaining six months)	$	3,500
	2015		10,465
	2016		10,465

Japan Pension Plans	'
	Note 9. Japan pension plans
	In connection with its acquisition of NeoPhotonics Semiconductor on March 29, 2013, the Company assumed responsibility for two defined benefit plans that provide retirement benefits to its NeoPhotonics Semiconductor employees in Japan: the Retirement Allowance Plan (“RAP”) and the Defined Benefit Corporate Pension Plan (“DBCPP”). The RAP is an unfunded plan administered by the Company.  Effective February 28, 2014, the DBCPP was converted to a defined contribution plan (“DCP”).  In May 2014, LAPIS transferred approximately $2.0 million into the newly formed DCP which is the allowable amount that can be transferred according to the Japanese regulations.   LAPIS also will pay the Company approximately $0.3 million in connection with the conversion of the plan, which the Company has included in prepaid expenses and other current assets at June 30, 2014. Additionally, the Company transferred the net unfunded projected benefit obligation amount from the DBCPP to the RAP and froze the RAP benefit at the February 28, 2014 amount.
	As a result of these changes to the DBCPP and the RAP, the Company recorded a curtailment gain of $0.1 million in the first quarter of 2014. The pension liability at June 30, 2014 was $5.8 million.
	The Company contributed $15,000 to the DBCPP from January 1, 2014 to February 28, 2014.  Because the DBCPP transitioned to the DCP on that date, no further contributions to the DBCPP are required.
	Net periodic pension cost associated with these plans for the period from December 31, 2013 to February 28, 2014 included the following components (in thousands):
	Service cost	$	53
	Interest cost		13
	Amortization		1

Commitments and Contingencies	'
	Note 10. Commitments and contingencies
	Litigation
	From time to time, the Company is subject to various claims and legal proceedings, either asserted or unasserted, that arise in the ordinary course of business. The Company accrues for legal contingencies if the Company can estimate the potential liability and if the Company believes it is more likely than not that the case will be ruled against it. If a legal claim for which the Company did not accrue is resolved against it, the Company would record the expense in the period in which the ruling was made. The Company does not believe that the ultimate amount of liability, if any, for any pending claims of any type (alone or combined) will materially affect the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows. The ultimate outcome of any litigation is uncertain, however, and unfavorable outcomes could have a material negative impact on the Company’s financial condition and operating results. Regardless of outcome, litigation can have an adverse impact on the Company because of defense costs, negative publicity, diversion of management resources and other factors.
	On January 5, 2010, Finisar Corporation, or Finisar, filed a complaint in the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California against Source Photonics, Inc., MRV Communications, Inc., Oplink Communications, Inc. and the Company, or collectively, the co-defendants. In the complaint, Finisar alleged infringement of certain of its U.S. patents arising from the codefendants’ respective manufacture, importation, use, sale of or offer to sell certain optical transceiver products. On March 23, 2010, the Company filed an answer to the complaint and counterclaims, asserting two claims of patent infringement and additional claims asserting that Finisar has violated state and federal competition laws and violated its obligations to license on reasonable and non-discriminatory terms. On May 5, 2010, the court dismissed without prejudice all co-defendants (including the Company) except Source Photonics, Inc., on grounds that such claims should have been asserted in four separate lawsuits, one against each defendant. This dismissal without prejudice does not prevent Finisar from bringing a new similar lawsuit against the Company. On January 18, 2011, the Company and Finisar agreed to suspend their respective claims and not to refile the originally asserted claims against each other until at least 90 days after one or more specified events occur resulting in the partial or complete resolution of litigation involving the same Finisar patents between Oplink Communications, Inc. and Finisar. This tolling period expired on April 30, 2012. On May 3, 2012 the Company and Finisar agreed to further toll their respective claims until the refiling of certain of the previously asserted claims from this dispute. As a result, Finisar is permitted to bring a new lawsuit against the Company if it chooses to do so, and the Company may bring new claims against Finisar upon seven days written notice prior to filing such claims. The Company is currently unable to predict the outcome of this dispute and therefore cannot determine the likelihood of loss nor estimate a range of possible loss.
	Indemnifications
	In the normal course of business, the Company enters into agreements that contain a variety of representations and warranties and provide for general indemnification. The Company’s exposure under these agreements is unknown because it involves claims that may be made against the Company in the future, but have not yet been made. To date, the Company has not paid any claims or been required to defend any action related to its indemnification obligations. However, the Company may record charges in the future as a result of these indemnification obligations. As of June 30, 2014, the Company did not have any material indemnification claims that were probable or reasonably possible.
	Leases
	The Company leases various facilities under non-cancelable operating leases expiring through 2023.  Future minimum payments under these operating leases totaled $8.4 million as of June 30, 2014. Rent expense was $0.5 million for the three months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 and $1.1 million for the six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013.
	Settlement with Santur
	In May 2014, the Company entered into a settlement agreement covering the outstanding claims in connection with its 2011 acquisition of Santur Corporation (“Santur”). Under the terms of the settlement agreement, a net amount of $1.9 million was paid to the Company from the escrow account that was set up under the original merger agreement. This amount comprised of a $3.9 million gain related to certain indemnification claims by the Company (“Indemnification Amount”) which were partially offset by $2.0 million in additional consideration for the business acquisition that was contingent upon Santur’s gross profit performance during 2012 (“Contingent Consideration Amount”).   The Company had recorded the entire $2.0 million as its estimated fair value of the Contingent Consideration Amount as of December 31, 2013. The $3.9 million Indemnification Amount was recognized as settlement gain in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.
	Penalty Payment Derivative
	In connection with a private placement transaction in 2012, the Company agreed to certain performance obligations including establishing a wholly-owned subsidiary in the Russian Federation and making a $30.0 million investment commitment (the “Investment Commitment”) towards the Company’s Russian operations. The Investment Commitment can be partially satisfied by cash and/or non-cash investment outside of the Russian Federation and/or by way of non-cash asset transfers, including but not limited to capital equipment, small tools, intellectual property, and other intangibles.  A minimum of $15.0 million of the Investment Commitment is required to be satisfied by making capital expenditure investments, including those that are non-cash, and the remaining $15.0 million can be satisfied through cash and non-cash general working capital and research and development expenditures.  All of the amount for general working capital can be spent either inside or outside of Russia.  However, at least 80% of the amount expended for research and development expenditure must be spent inside Russia.  General working capital can include acquisition of other businesses or portions thereof to be owned by the Russian subsidiary.
	The purchaser of the common stock has non-transferable veto rights over the Company’s Russian subsidiary’s annual budget during the investment period and must approve non-cash asset transfers to be made in satisfaction of the Investment Commitment.  Spending and/or commitments to spend for general working capital and research and development do not require approval by the purchaser. There are no legal restrictions on the specific usage of the $39.8 million received in the private placement transaction or on withdrawal from the Company’s bank accounts for use in general corporate purposes.
	The Company was required to satisfy the Investment Commitment by July 31, 2014, which date has been extended to March 31, 2015 as the Company did not record aggregate revenue from sales of its products in the Russian Federation of at least $26.8 million during the period beginning July 1, 2012 and ending June 30, 2014. The Company intends to meet its Investment Commitment by March 31, 2015.  If the Company fails to meet the Investment Commitment by the deadline, including failure to meet the Investment Commitment because the purchaser of the common stock does not approve the transfer of non-cash assets, the Company will be required to pay a $5.0 million penalty (the ‘Penalty Payment’) as the sole and exclusive remedy for damages and monetary relief available to the purchaser for failure to meet the Investment Commitment.
	The Company has accounted for the $5.0 million Penalty Payment as an embedded derivative instrument, with the underlying being the performance or nonperformance of meeting the Investment Commitment by the extended deadline of March 31, 2015. The fair value of the Penalty Payment derivative has been estimated at the date of the original common stock sale (April 27, 2012) and at each subsequent balance sheet date using a probability-weighted discounted future cash flow approach using unobservable inputs, which are classified as Level 3 within the fair value hierarchy. The primary inputs for this approach include the probability of achieving the Investment Commitment and a discount rate that approximates the Company’s incremental borrowing rate. After the initial measurement, changes in the fair value of this derivative were recorded in other income (expense). The estimated fair value of this derivative was $0.4 million and $0.2 million at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, respectively.

	Accumulated Deficit
	Approximately $6.5 million of the Company’s accumulated deficit at December 31, 2013 was subject to restriction due to the fact that the Company’s subsidiaries in China are required to set aside at least 10% of their respective accumulated profits each year to fund statutory common reserves as well as allocate a discretional portion of their after-tax profits to their staff welfare and bonus fund.

	Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“ESPP”)
	Due to the delay in filing its Annual Report on Form 10-K, in May 2014 the Compensation Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors (the “Committee”) rescheduled the May 15 purchase date under the current offering period to the date that is three business days after the later of (i) the filing of its Annual Report on Form 10-K and (ii) the Company’s general public release of its revenues for the first quarter of 2014, which occurred on June 17, 2014. Additionally, the Committee waived the existing purchase limits for the upcoming purchase date only and created a modification of the purchase price formula for the current offering period. In connection with this modification, the Company recorded an immaterial charge as stock based compensation expense in its condensed consolidated statements of operations in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014.

	(Provision) benefit for income taxes	$	-97	$	90	$	(859	)	$	(93	)
	The Company’s income tax (provision) benefit in the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013 was primarily related to income taxes of the Company’s non-U.S. operations.
	The Company conducts its business globally and its operating income is subject to varying rates of tax in the United States, China and Japan. Consequently, the Company’s effective tax rate is dependent upon the geographic distribution of its earnings or losses and the tax laws and regulations in each geographical region. Historically, the Company has experienced net losses in the United States and in the short term, expects this trend to continue. One of the Company’s subsidiaries in China has historically qualified for a preferential 15% tax rate available for high technology enterprises as opposed to the statutory 25% tax rate. The Company is in the process of reapplying for the preferential rate for 2014 to 2016.
	Due to historic losses in the US, the Company has a full valuation allowance on its US federal and state deferred tax assets. Management continues to evaluate the realizability of deferred tax assets and the related valuation allowance. If management's assessment of the deferred tax assets or the corresponding valuation allowance were to change, the Company would record the related adjustment to income during the period in which management makes the determination.
	As of June 30, 2014, there were no material changes to either the nature or the amounts of the uncertain tax positions previously determined for the year ended December 31, 2013.

	Basis of Presentation and Consolidation
	The condensed consolidated financial statements of NeoPhotonics Corporation (“NeoPhotonics” or the “Company”) as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 and for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, have been prepared in accordance with the instructions on Form 10-Q pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). In accordance with those rules and regulations, the Company has omitted certain information and notes normally provided in the Company’s annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements contain all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring items, except as otherwise noted, necessary for the fair presentation of the Company’s financial position and results of operations for the interim periods. The year-end condensed consolidated balance sheet data was derived from audited financial statements, but does not include all disclosures required by U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”). These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and Notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2013. The results of operations for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results expected for the entire fiscal year. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
	Certain Significant Risks and Uncertainties
	The Company operates in a dynamic industry and, accordingly, can be affected by a variety of factors.  For example, any of the following areas could have a negative effect on the Company in terms of its future financial position, results of operations or cash flows: the general state of the U.S. and world economies, the highly cyclical nature of the industries the Company serves; the loss of any of a small number of its larger customers; ability to obtain additional financing; inability to meet certain debt covenants; failure to successfully integrate completed acquisitions; fundamental changes in the technology underlying the Company’s products; the hiring, training and retention of key employees; successful and timely completion of product design efforts; and new product design introductions by competitors.
Use of Estimates	'
	Use of Estimates
	The preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP 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 financial statements and the reported revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Significant estimates made by management include: the useful lives of property, plant and equipment and intangible assets as well as future cash flows to be generated by those assets; fair values of identifiable assets acquired and liabilities assumed in business combinations; allowances for doubtful accounts; valuation allowances for deferred tax assets; write off of excess and obsolete inventories and the valuations, warranty reserves and recognition of stock-based compensation, among others. Actual results could differ from these estimates.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements	'
	Recent Accounting Pronouncements
	In June 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2014-11, Repurchase-to-Maturity Transactions, Repurchase Financings, and Disclosures (“ASU 2014-11”). The standard (1) requires companies to account for repurchase-to-maturity transactions as secured borrowings, (2) requires separate accounting for a transfer of a financial asset executed contemporaneously with a repurchase agreement with the same counterparty, resulting in secured borrowing accounting for repurchase financing transactions, and (3) expands disclosure requirements related to certain transfers of financial assets that are accounted for as sales and certain transfers (specifically, repurchase agreements, securities lending transactions, and repurchase-to-maturity transactions) accounted for as secured borrowings. ASU 2014-11 is effective for the interim and annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is not permitted for public entities. The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
	In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASU 2014-09”). The standard provides companies with a single model for use in accounting for revenue arising from contracts with customers and supersedes current revenue recognition guidance, including industry-specific revenue guidance. The core principle of the model is to recognize revenue when control of the goods or services transfers to the customer, as opposed to recognizing revenue when the risks and rewards transfer to the customer under the existing revenue guidance. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is not permitted. The guidance permits companies to either apply the requirements retrospectively to all prior periods presented, or apply the requirements in the year of adoption, through a cumulative adjustment.  The Company is in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
	In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-08, Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205) and Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360): Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of Components of an Entity ("ASU 2014-08") which raises the threshold for a disposal to qualify as a discontinued operation and requires new disclosures of both discontinued operations and certain other disposals that do not meet the definition of a discontinued operation. ASU 2014-08 is effective for annual periods beginning on or after December 15, 2014. Early adoption is permitted but only for disposals that have not been reported in financial statements previously issued. The Company is currently in the process of evaluating the impact of adoption on its consolidated financial statements.
	In July 2013, the FASB issued amendments to the FASB Accounting Standard Codification on Income Taxes, to improve the presentation of an unrecognized tax benefit when a net operating loss carryforward, a similar tax loss, or a tax credit carryforward exists. This guidance is expected to reduce diversity in practice and is expected to better reflect the manner in which an entity would settle at the reporting date any additional income taxes that would result from the disallowance of a tax position when net operating loss carryforwards, similar tax losses, or tax credit carryforwards exists. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2013. The adoption of this guidance did not have an impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements.
