NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

The Company

Aviat Networks, Inc. (the “Company,” “we,” “us,” and “our”) designs, manufactures and sells a range of wireless networking solutions and services to mobile and fixed telephone service providers, private network operators, government agencies, transportation and utility companies, public safety agencies and broadcast system operators across the globe. Our products include broadband wireless access base stations and customer premises equipment for fixed and mobile, point-to-point digital microwave radio systems for access, backhaul, trunking and license-exempt applications, supporting new network deployments, network expansion, and capacity upgrades.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, the statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of our management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results for the quarter ended October 2, 2015 (the “first quarter of fiscal 2016”) are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2015.

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned and majority-owned subsidiaries. Significant intercompany transactions and accounts have been eliminated.

We operate on a 52-week or 53-week year ending on the Friday nearest June 30. The first quarter of fiscal 2016 and the first quarter of fiscal 2015 included 13 weeks in each quarter.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of our management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist us in making these evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Such estimates affect significant items, including revenue recognition, provision for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, uncertainties in income taxes, restructuring obligations, product warranty obligations, share-based awards, contingencies and useful lives of property, plant and equipment.

Reclassification

We recorded a $1.2 million reclassification to increase long term unearned income and decrease current advance payments and unearned income as of July 3, 2015. This reclassification had no impact on our total assets, total liabilities, results of operations or cash flows.

Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

There have been no material changes in our significant accounting policies as of and for the first quarter of fiscal 2016, as compared to the significant accounting policies described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended July 3, 2015.

Recently Issued Accounting Standards

On May 28, 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. This ASU is based on the principle that revenue is recognized to depict the transfer of 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 ASU also requires additional disclosure about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments and assets recognized from costs incurred to obtain or fulfill a contract. In July 2015, the FASB deferred the effective date of the new revenue standard from December 15, 2016 to December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted before annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Accordingly, the new standard is effective for us beginning in our fiscal year 2019. The principles may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. We are currently evaluating the transition methods and the effect that this ASU will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11 (Subtopic 330), Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, which provides guidance to companies who account for inventory using either the first-in, first-out (“FIFO”) or average cost methods. The guidance states that companies should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-03, Interest - Imputation of Interest (Subtopic 835-30), Simplifying the Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs, which provides guidance on the balance sheet presentation for debt issuance costs and debt discounts and debt premiums. To simplify the presentation of debt issuance costs, the standard requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. The standard is effective for annual periods and interim periods within those annual periods beginning after December 15, 2015. We are currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2014, FASB issued ASU No. 2014-15, Disclosure of Uncertainties About an Entity’s Ability to Continue as a Going Concern, which provides guidance on determining when and how to disclose going concern uncertainties in the financial statements. The guidance requires management to perform interim and annual assessments of an entity’s ability to continue as a going concern. This standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods during the annual period. Early application is permitted. We are currently evaluating the effect of the adoption of the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Note 2. Net Loss Per Share of Common Stock

We compute net income (loss) per share attributable to the Company’s common stockholders using the two-class method. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding during the period. Our unvested restricted shares contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends and therefore are considered to be participating securities and would be included in the calculations of net income per basic and diluted common share. However, we incurred a net loss in all periods presented. In accordance with ASC subtopic 260-10, undistributed losses are not allocated to unvested restricted shares due to the fact that the unvested restricted shares are not contractually obligated to share in the losses of the company.

As we incurred a net loss for all periods presented, the effect of outstanding stock options, restricted stocks and units and performance shares and units were anti-dilutive and therefore were excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculations. The following table summarizes the potential shares of common stock that were excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculations:



	Quarter Ended
	October 2, 2015	September 26, 2014
	(In millions)
Stock options	7.2	7.4
Restricted stocks and units and performance shares and units	1.0	0.3
Total potential shares of common stock excluded	8.2	7.7

Note 3. Balance Sheet Components

Accounts Receivable, net

Our net accounts receivable as of October 2, 2015 and July 3, 2015 was as follows:



	October 2, 2015			July 3, 2015
	(In millions)
Accounts receivable	$	95.0		$	94.9
Less allowances for collection losses	(6.7		)	(6.7		)
	$	88.3		$	88.2

We regularly require letters of credit from some customers and, from time to time, we discount these letters of credit issued by customers through various financial institutions. The discounting of letters of credit depends on many factors, including the willingness of financial institutions to discount the letters of credit and the cost of such arrangements. Under these arrangements, collection risk is fully transferred to the financial institutions. We record the financing charges on discounting these letters of credit as interest expense. Total customer letters of credit discounted and related interest expense were as follows:



	Quarter Ended
	October 2, 2015		September 26, 2014
	(In millions)
Customer letters of credit being discounted	$	2.7	$	—
Interest expense	$	—	$	—

Inventories

Our inventories as of October 2, 2015 and July 3, 2015 were as follows:



	October 2, 2015		July 3, 2015
	(In millions)
Finished products	$	24.0	$	21.1
Work in process	2.6		3.8
Raw materials and supplies	7.8		8.0
	$	34.4	$	32.9
Deferred cost of revenue included within finished goods	$	10.0	$	5.6
Consigned inventories included within raw materials	$	6.6	$	6.8

We recorded charges to adjust our inventory and customer service inventory to the lower of cost or market. These charges were primarily due to excess and obsolete inventory resulting from product transitioning and discontinuance. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015, such charges incurred were classified in cost of product sales as follows:



	Quarter Ended
	October 2, 2015			September 26, 2014
	(In millions, except percentages)
Excess and obsolete inventory charges	$	0.7		$	1.5
Customer service inventory write-downs	0.3			0.6
	$	1.0		$	2.1
As % of revenue	1.3		%	2.5		%

Property, Plant and Equipment, net

Our property, plant and equipment, net as of October 2, 2015 and July 3, 2015 were as follows:



	October 2, 2015			July 3, 2015
	(In millions)
Land	$	0.7		$	0.7
Buildings and leasehold improvements	9.7			9.7
Software	13.6			13.6
Machinery and equipment	45.1			45.2
	69.1			69.2
Less accumulated depreciation and amortization	(46.6		)	(44.9		)
	$	22.5		$	24.3

Depreciation and amortization expense related to property, plant and equipment, including amortization of software developed for internal use, was as follows:



	Quarter Ended
	October 2, 2015		September 26, 2014
	(In millions)
Depreciation and amortization	$	1.7	$	1.6

Accrued Warranties

We accrue for the estimated cost to repair or replace products under warranty at the time of sale. Changes in our warranty liability, which is included as a component of other accrued expenses in the condensed consolidated balance sheets, during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015 were as follows:



	Quarter Ended
	October 2, 2015			September 26, 2014
	(In millions)
Balance as of the beginning of the fiscal year	$	4.2		$	3.8
Warranty provision recorded during the period	1.5			1.0
Consumption during the period	(1.0		)	(1.3		)
Balance as of the end of the period	$	4.7		$	3.5

Note 4. Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities

We determine fair value 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 maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value and establish a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:


•	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 reflecting our own assumptions.

The carrying amounts, estimated fair values and valuation input levels of our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of October 2, 2015 and July 3, 2015 were as follows:



	October 2, 2015				July 3, 2015				Valuation Inputs
	Cost		Fair Value		Cost		Fair Value		Valuation Inputs
	(In millions)
Assets:
Cash equivalents:
Money market funds	$	13.7	$	13.7	$	12.5	$	12.5	Level 1
Bank certificates of deposit	$	0.2	$	0.2	$	0.6	$	0.6	Level 2

We classify items within Level 1 if quoted prices are available in active markets. Our Level 1 items include shares in money market funds purchased from two major financial institutions. As of October 2, 2015 and July 3, 2015, these money market shares were valued at $1.00 net asset value per share by these financial institutions.

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. Our bank certificates of deposit and foreign exchange forward contracts are classified within Level 2. Foreign currency forward contracts are measured at fair value using observable foreign currency exchange rates. The assets and liabilities related to our foreign currency forward contracts were not material as of October 2, 2015 and July 3, 2015. The changes in fair value related to our foreign currency forward contracts were recorded in the income or expense line item on our statements of operations. We did not have any recurring assets whose fair value was measured using significant unobservable inputs.

Our policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the actual date of the events or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015, we had no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy of our assets or liabilities measured at fair value.

Note 5. Credit Facility and Debt

On March 28, 2014, we entered into a Second Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (as amended, the “SVB Credit Facility”). The SVB Credit Facility was amended in 2014 to provide for extensions to the deadline for preparing and filing our fiscal 2014 financial statements with the SEC. On February 27, 2015, the SVB Credit Facility was further amended to provide for certain amendments to the financial covenants, borrowing base and an early termination fee if the SVB Credit Facility is terminated prior to its expiration. This agreement amends and restates our existing First Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, which was entered into on September 27, 2013 and amended providing for certain amendments to the maximum borrowing limit and financial covenants. The SVB Credit Facility expires on September 26, 2016 and our outstanding debt balance was $9.0 million as of both October 2, 2015 and July 3, 2015.

can also be utilized to issue letters of credit. Principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, is due and payable on September 26, 2016. If the SVB Credit Facility is terminated by us in certain circumstances prior to its expiration, we are subject to an early termination fee equal to 1% of the revolving line. As of October 2, 2015, available credit under the SVB Credit Facility was $19.4 million reflecting the calculated borrowing base of $32.5 million less existing borrowings of $9.0 million and outstanding letters of credit of $4.1 million.

Borrowings under the SVB Credit Facility carry an interest rate computed at the daily prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal plus a spread of 0.50% to 1.50%, with such spread determined based on our adjusted quick ratio. If a minimum adjusted quick ratio requirement is satisfied, LIBOR advances are offered at LIBOR plus a spread of 2.75%. Interest is due and payable in arrears monthly for prime rate loans and, for LIBOR rate loans, at the end of an interest period or at each three-month interval if the interest period is greater than three months. During the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding loan was 3.75%.

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 SVB 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 2% above the applicable interest rate. As of October 2, 2015, we were in compliance with the quarterly financial covenants contained in the SVB Credit Facility.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we obtained an uncommitted short-term line of credit of $0.4 million from a bank in New Zealand to support the operations of our subsidiary located there. This line of credit provides for $0.3 million in short-term advances at various interest rates, all of which was available as of October 2, 2015. The line of credit also provides for the issuance of standby letters of credit and company credit cards, of which $0.1 million was outstanding as of October 2, 2015. This facility may be terminated upon notice, is reviewed annually for renewal or modification, and is supported by a corporate guarantee.

Note 6. Restructuring Activities

Fiscal 2015-2016 Plan

During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, with the intent to bring our operational cost structure in line with the changing dynamics of the microwave radio and telecommunications markets, we initiated a restructuring plan (the “Fiscal 2015-2016 Plan”) to lower fixed overhead costs and operating expenses and to preserve cash flow. Activities under the Fiscal 2015-2016 Plan primarily include reductions in force across the Company, but primarily in operations outside the United States.

The following table summarizes our costs incurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2016, estimated additional costs to be incurred and estimated total costs expected to be incurred as of October 2, 2015 under the Fiscal 2015-2016 Plan:



	Costs Incurred During the Quarter Ended			Cumulative Costs Incurred Through October 2, 2015		Estimated Additional Costs to be Incurred		Total Restructuring Costs Expected to be Incurred
	October 2, 2015			Cumulative Costs Incurred Through October 2, 2015		Estimated Additional Costs to be Incurred		Total Restructuring Costs Expected to be Incurred
	(In millions)
Severance and benefits	$	0.1		$	2.9	$	1.3	$	4.2
Facilities and other	(0.1		)	0.5		0.3		0.8
Total for Fiscal 2015-2016 Plan	$	—		$	3.4	$	1.6	$	5.0

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we recorded $0.1 million in severance and related benefits costs and a $0.1 million adjustment to the accrual on Slovenia government fund repayment related to workforce reduction. We intend to substantially complete the remaining restructuring activities under the Fiscal 2015-2016 Plan by the end of fiscal 2016.

Fiscal 2014-2015 Plan

During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, in line with the decrease in revenue that we experienced and our reduced forecast for the immediate future, we initiated a restructuring plan (the “Fiscal 2014-2015 Plan”) to reduce our operating costs, primarily in North America, Europe and Asia. Activities under the Fiscal 2014-2015 Plan primarily include reductions in force and additional facility downsizing of our Santa Clara, California headquarters.

The following table summarizes our costs incurred during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015, estimated additional costs to be incurred and estimated total costs expected to be incurred as of October 2, 2015 under the Fiscal 2014-2015 Plan:



	Costs Incurred During the Quarter Ended				Cumulative Costs Incurred Through October 2, 2015		Estimated Additional Costs to be Incurred		Total Restructuring Costs Expected to be Incurred
	October 2, 2015		September 26, 2014		Cumulative Costs Incurred Through October 2, 2015		Estimated Additional Costs to be Incurred		Total Restructuring Costs Expected to be Incurred
	(In millions)
Severance and benefits	$	—	$	0.3	$	5.4	$	—	$	5.4
Facilities and other	—		1.3		1.8		0.3		2.1
Total for Fiscal 2014-2015 Plan	$	—	$	1.6	$	7.2	$	0.3	$	7.5

We have substantially completed the restructuring activities under the Fiscal 2014-2015 Plan as of the end of fiscal 2015. The remaining additional costs to be incurred under the Fiscal 2014-2015 Plan primarily included our facility costs related to the cease-to-use space at our Santa Clara, California headquarters through the remaining lease term.

Fiscal 2013-2014 Plan

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we initiated a restructuring plan (the “Fiscal 2013-2014 Plan”) that was intended to reduce our operating expenses primarily in North America, Europe and Asia. Activities under the Fiscal 2013-2014 Plan included reductions in force and facility downsizing of our Santa Clara, California headquarters and certain international field offices.



	Costs Incurred During the Quarter Ended					Cumulative Costs Incurred Through October 2, 2015		Estimated Additional Costs to be Incurred		Total Restructuring Costs Expected to be Incurred
	October 2, 2015		September 26, 2014			Cumulative Costs Incurred Through October 2, 2015		Estimated Additional Costs to be Incurred		Total Restructuring Costs Expected to be Incurred

Total for Fiscal 2013-2014 Plan	$	—	$	(0.1	)	$	7.2	$	0.6	$	7.8

We have substantially completed the restructuring activities under the Fiscal 2013-2014 Plan as of fiscal 2014. The remaining additional costs to be incurred under the Fiscal 2013-2014 Plan primarily included our facility charges related to the cease-to-use space at our Santa Clara, California headquarters through the remaining lease term.

Restructuring Liabilities

Our restructuring liabilities consisted primarily of accrued severance and benefits relating to one-time and ongoing benefit arrangements, as well as facility exit cost reserves primarily related to our office leases in California. The fair value of the liabilities related to operating lease terminations was determined based on the present value of the remaining lease obligations, adjusted for the effects of deferred items recognized under the lease, and reduced by estimated sublease rentals that could be reasonably obtained for the property. The assumptions in determining such estimates included anticipated timing of sublease rentals and estimates of sublease rental receipts and related costs based on market conditions. To the extent there are material differences between these estimates or assumptions and actual results, our restructuring liabilities and restructuring charges would be significantly affected.

The information in the following table summarizes the changes in our restructuring liabilities during the first quarter of fiscal 2016:



	Severance and Benefits			Facilities and Other			Total
	(In millions)
Restructuring liabilities as of July 3, 2015	$	0.8		$	3.7		$	4.5

Long-term portion of restructuring liabilities included in other long-term liabilities							$	0.5

Note 7. Stockholders’ Equity

2007 Stock Equity Plan and Activities

As of October 2, 2015, we had one stock incentive plan for our employees and nonemployee directors, the 2007 Stock Equity Plan, as amended and restated effective November 17, 2011 (the “2007 Stock Plan”). The 2007 Stock Plan provides for accelerated vesting of certain share-based awards if there is a change in control of the Company. The 2007 Stock Plan also provides for the issuance of share-based awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and units, and performance share awards and units. As of October 2, 2015, we have various incentive programs under the 2007 Stock Plan, including annual and long-term incentive programs (“AIP” or “LTIP”) and a global equity program (“GEP”).

Under the 2007 Stock Plan, option exercise prices are equal to the fair market value on the date the options are granted using our closing stock price. Options may be exercised for a period set at the time of grant, which is generally seven years after the date of grant. Options generally vest in installments on one of four vesting schedules: (1) 25% one year from the grant date and 1/48 each month thereafter over the remaining three-year period; (2) 50% one year from the grant date and 25% each year thereafter over the remaining two-year period; (3) one-third annually over a three-year period from the date of grant; or (4) 25% annually over a four-year period from date of grant. Stock options are issued to directors annually and generally vest on the day before the annual stockholders’ meeting.

Restricted stock is not transferable until vested and the restrictions lapse upon the achievement of continued employment or service over a specified time period. Restricted stock issued to employees generally vests on one of three vesting schedules: (1) one-third annually over a three-year period from the date of grant; (2) 25% annually over a four-year period from the date of grant; or (3) in full three years after the date of grant. Restricted stock issued to directors annually and generally vests on the day before the annual stockholders’ meeting.

Vesting of performance shares under our AIP, LTIP or GEP is subject to financial performance criteria including revenue, operating income, or cash flow targets for the periods as defined in the programs and continued employment through the end of the applicable period.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we canceled 803,210 shares of performance unit due to the related financial performance criteria not being satisfied. We also canceled options to purchase 151,770 shares of our common stock due to employee terminations. There were no share-based awards granted under our 2007 Stock Plan during the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

We issue new shares of our common stock to our employees upon the exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted stock awards and units or vesting of performance share awards and units. All awards that are canceled prior to vesting or expire unexercised are returned to the approved pool of reserved shares under the 2007 Stock Plan and made available for future grants. Shares of our common stock remaining available for future issuance under the 2007 Stock Plan totaled 2,578,564 as of October 2, 2015.

Share-Based Compensation

Total compensation expense for share-based awards included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the first quarter and first three quarters of fiscal 2016 and 2015 was as follows:



	Quarter Ended
(In millions)	October 2, 2015		September 26, 2014
By Expense Category:
Cost of revenues	$	0.1	$	0.1
Research and development	—		—
Selling and administrative	0.4		0.5
Total share-based compensation expense	$	0.5	$	0.6
By Types of Award:
Options	$	0.3	$	0.5
Restricted stock awards and units	0.2		0.1
Total share-based compensation expense	$	0.5	$	0.6

Compensation expense for an award with only service conditions is recognized over the requisite service period, which is usually the vesting period of the award. For an award that has a graded vesting schedule, compensation expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the requisite service period for each separately vesting portion of the award as if the award was, in-substance, multiple awards. The amount of compensation cost recognized at any date must at least equal the portion of the grant-date value of the award that is vested at that date. As of October 2, 2015, there was $2.9 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share-based awards granted under our 2007 Stock Plan. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of 1.87 years.

The fair value of each option grant under our 2007 Stock Plan was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant. A summary of the significant weighted average assumptions we used in the Black-Scholes valuation model is as follows:



	Quarter Ended
	October 2, 2015	September 26, 2014
Expected dividends	N/A	—	%
Expected volatility	N/A	53.3	%
Risk-free interest rate	N/A	1.35	%
Expected term (years)	N/A	3.81
Weighted average grant date fair value per share granted	N/A	$0.51

Note 8. Segment and Geographic Information

We operate in one reportable business segment: the design, manufacturing and sale of a range of wireless networking products, solutions and services. We conduct business globally and our sales and support activities are managed on a geographic basis. Our Chief Executive Officer is our Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”).

We report revenue by region and country based on the location where our customers accept delivery of our products and services. Revenue by region for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015 were as follows:



	Quarter Ended
(In millions)	October 2, 2015		September 26, 2014
North America	$	35.2	$	38.6
Africa and Middle East	27.3		24.6
Europe and Russia	6.5		8.2
Latin America and Asia Pacific	10.6		11.0
Total Revenue	$	79.6	$	82.4

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015, we had one international customer in Africa (Mobile Telephone Networks Group or “MTN Group”) that accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue. MTN Group also accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable at October 2, 2015 and July 3, 2015. We have entered into separate and distinct contracts with MTN Group as well as separate arrangements with various MTN Group subsidiaries. The loss of all business from the MTN Group could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Note 9. Divestiture

In March 2011, our board of directors approved a plan for the sale of our WiMAX business. On September 2, 2011, we sold to EION Networks, Inc. (“EION”) our WiMAX business and related assets consisting of certain technology, inventory and equipment. As consideration for the sale of assets, EION agreed to pay us $0.4 million in cash and up to $2.8 million in additional cash payments contingent upon specific factors related to future WiMAX business performance. We received $0.1 million in total of such contingent payments through June 27, 2014, and did not expect any further payments from EION. In addition, EION is entitled to receive cash payments up to $2.0 million upon collection of certain WiMAX accounts receivable. As of September 26, 2014, we made $1.6 million in total of such payments to EION and wrote-off the remaining $0.4 million balance resulting from the write-downs of the corresponding WiMAX accounts receivable,;as such, our accrued liabilities related to the disposition of WiMAX business were reduced to zero.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we began accounting for the WiMAX business as a discontinued operation and, therefore, the operating results of our WiMAX business were included in discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. The income recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was primarily due to recovery of certain WiMAX customer receivables that were previously written down. Summary results of operations for the WiMAX business were as follows:



	Quarter Ended
	October 2, 2015			September 26, 2014
	(In millions)
Revenues	$	—		$	—
Income from operations related to WiMAX	$	0.4		$	0.1
Gain on disposal	—			0.1
Income taxes	(0.1		)	—
Income from discontinued operations	$	0.3		$	0.2

Note 10. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to results of foreign operations that are subject to income taxes at different statutory rates and certain jurisdictions where we cannot recognize tax benefits on current losses. During interim periods, we accrue tax expenses for foreign jurisdictions that are anticipated to be profitable for fiscal 2016.

The determination of our provision for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015 was based on our estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized. The tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 was primarily attributable to tax expense related to profitable foreign subsidiaries.

We have a number of years with open tax audits which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Our major tax jurisdictions include the U.S., Singapore and Nigeria. The earliest years that are open and subject to potential audits for these jurisdictions are as follows: U.S. — 2003; Singapore — 2006; and Nigeria — 2011.

We account for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of our provision for federal, foreign and state income taxes. Such interest expense we accrued for was not material for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015.

Note 11. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Lease Commitments

We lease office and manufacturing facilities under non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through April 2020. We lease approximately 129,000 square feet of office space in Santa Clara, California as our corporate headquarters. Beginning in the first quarter of fiscal 2015, approximately three-fourths of our Santa Clara headquarters building was vacated and made available for sublease. As of October 2, 2015, future minimum lease payments for our headquarters totaled $12.2 million.

As of October 2, 2015, our future minimum lease payments under all non-cancelable operating leases with an initial lease term in excess of one year were as follows:



Fiscal Years Ending in June	Amounts
	(In millions)
2016 (three quarters remaining)	$	3.8
2017	3.2
2018	2.7
2019	2.8
2020	2.3
Total	$	14.8

These commitments do not contain any material rent escalations, rent holidays, contingent rent, rent concessions, leasehold improvement incentives or unusual provisions or conditions. We sublease a portion of our facilities to third parties and total minimum rentals to be received in the future under our non-cancelable subleases were $0.1 million as of October 2, 2015.

Rental expense for operating leases, including rentals on a month-to-month basis, was as follows:



	Quarter Ended
	October 2, 2015		September 26, 2014
	(In millions)
Rent expense	$	1.4	$	1.8

Purchase Orders and Other Commitments

From time to time in the normal course of business we may enter into purchasing agreements with our suppliers that require us to accept delivery of, and remit full payment for, finished products that we have ordered, finished products that we requested be held as safety stock, and work in process started on our behalf, in the event we cancel or terminate the purchasing agreement. Because these agreements do not specify fixed or minimum quantities, do not specify minimum or variable price provisions, and do not specify the approximate timing of the transaction, and we have no present intention to cancel or terminate any of these agreements, we currently do not believe that we have any future liability under these agreements. As of October 2, 2015, we had outstanding purchase obligations with our suppliers or contract manufacturers of $26.4 million. In addition, we had contractual obligations of approximately $1.0 million associated with a major service agreement as of October 2, 2015.

Financial Guarantees and Commercial Commitments

Guarantees issued by banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions are contingent commitments issued to guarantee our performance under borrowing arrangements, such as bank overdraft facilities, tax and customs obligations and similar transactions or to ensure our performance under customer or vendor contracts. The terms of the guarantees are generally equal to the remaining term of the related debt or other obligations and are generally limited to two years or less. As of October 2, 2015, we had no guarantees applicable to our debt arrangements.

We have entered into commercial commitments in the normal course of business including surety bonds, standby letters of credit agreements and other arrangements with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services to customers. As of October 2, 2015, we had commercial commitments of $17.0 million outstanding that were not recorded in our condensed consolidated balance sheets. We do not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any amounts will be required to be paid on the performance guarantees.

Indemnifications

Under the terms of substantially all of our license agreements, we have agreed to defend and pay any final judgment against our customers arising from claims against such customers that our software products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. As of October 2, 2015, we have not received any notice that any customer is subject to an infringement claim arising from the use of our software products; we have not received any request to defend any customers from infringement claims arising from the use of our software products; and we have not paid any final judgment on behalf of any customer related to an infringement claim arising from the use of our software products. Because the outcome of infringement disputes is related to the specific facts of each case, and given the lack of previous or current indemnification claims, we cannot estimate the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to our indemnification provisions. As of October 2, 2015, we had not recorded any liabilities related to these indemnifications.

Legal Proceedings

From time to time, we may be involved in various legal claims and litigation that arise in the normal course of our operations. We are aggressively defending all current litigation matters. Although there can be no assurances and the outcome of these matters is not determinable, we currently believe that none of these claims or proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position. There are many uncertainties associated with any litigations and these matters or other third-party claims against us may cause us to incur costly litigation and/or substantial settlement charges. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected. The actual liability in any such matters may be materially different from our estimates, if any.

We record accruals for our outstanding legal proceedings, investigations or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate, at least on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would result in a loss contingency to become both probable and reasonably estimable. We have not recorded any accrual for loss contingencies associated with any such legal claims or litigation discussed above.

Contingent Liabilities

We record a loss contingency as a charge to operations when (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements; and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure in the notes to the financial statements is required for loss contingencies that do not meet both those conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. Gain contingencies are not recorded until realized. We expense all legal costs incurred to resolve regulatory, legal and tax matters as incurred.

Periodically, we review the status of each significant matter to assess the potential financial exposure. If a potential loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we reflect the estimated loss in our results of operations. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred or an asset impaired and whether such loss is reasonably estimable. Further, estimates of this nature are highly subjective, and the final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from the amounts that have been included in our consolidated financial statements. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to our

pending claims and litigation and may revise estimates accordingly. Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

Overview of Business; Operating Environment and Key Factors Impacting Fiscal 2015 and 2016 Results

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. In the discussion below, our fiscal year ending July 1, 2016 is referred to as “fiscal 2016” or “2016” and fiscal year ended July 3, 2015 is referred to as “fiscal 2015” or “2015”.

We generate revenue by designing, developing, manufacturing and supporting a range of wireless networking products, solutions and services for mobile and fixed communications service providers, private network operators, government agencies, transportation and utility companies, public safety agencies and broadcast system operators across the globe. Our products include point-to-point (PTP) digital microwave transmission systems designed for first/last mile access, middle mile/backhaul, and long distance trunking applications. We also provide network management software solutions to enable operators to deploy, monitor and manage our systems, third party equipment such as antennas, routers, and multiplexers, necessary to build and deploy a wireless transmission network, and a full suite of turnkey support services.

We work continuously to improve our established brands and to create new products that meet our customers’ evolving needs and preferences. Our fundamental business goal is to generate superior returns for our stockholders over the long term. We believe that increases in revenue, operating profits and earnings per share are the key measures of financial performance for our business.

Our strategic focus in fiscal 2016 will be to continue to accelerate innovation and optimize our product portfolio, improve costs and operational efficiencies, grow our revenue and create a sustainable, profitable business model. To do this, we continue to examine our products, markets, facilities, development programs, and operational flows to ensure we are focused on what we do well and what will differentiate us in the future. We will continue working to streamline management processes to attain the efficiency levels required by the markets in which we do business.

Although the general trend of increasing demand for bandwidth to support mobile networks applies in all markets, we expect to see quarter-to-quarter fluctuations within markets and with individual customers based on customers’ past purchasing patterns. Seasonality is also a factor that impacts our business. Our fiscal third quarter revenue and orders have historically been lower than the revenue and orders in our second fiscal quarter because many of our customers utilize a significant portion of their capital budgets at the end of their fiscal years, which is typically the calendar year end and coincides with our second fiscal quarter. The majority of our customers begin a new fiscal year on January 1, and capital expenditures tend to be lower in an organization’s first quarter than in its fourth quarter. We anticipate that this seasonality will continue. The seasonality between the second quarter and third quarter may be affected by a variety of additional factors, including changes in the global economy.

In line with industry trends, we expect to provide increased managed services, including network design, inventory management, final configuration and warehousing services, to certain customers in certain geographies. Our operating results may be impacted by providing these services to the extent that we may need to postpone the recognition of revenue and incur upfront and ongoing expenses that are not offset with additional revenue from product sales associated with these services until a future period.

Operations Review

The market for mobile backhaul continues to be our primary addressable market segment and, over the long term, the demand for increasing the backhaul capacity in our customers’ networks continues to grow. In North America we supported long-term evolution (“LTE”) deployments of our mobile operator customers, public safety network deployments for state and local governments, and private network implementations for utilities and other customers. Internationally, our business continued to rely on a combination of customers increasing their capacity to handle subscriber growth, the ongoing build-out of some large 3G deployments, and the emergence of early stage LTE deployments. Our position continues to be to support our customers for LTE readiness and ensure that our technology roadmap is well aligned with evolving market requirements. We continue to find that our strength in turnkey and after-sale support services is a differentiating factor that wins business for us and enables us to expand our business with existing customers in all markets. However, as disclosed above and in the “Risk Factors” section in Item 1A of our fiscal 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K, a number of factors could prevent us from achieving our objectives, including ongoing pricing pressures attributable to competition and macroeconomic conditions in the geographic markets that we service.

Revenue

We manage our sales activities primarily on a geographic basis in North America and three international geographic regions: (1) Africa and Middle East, (2) Europe and Russia, and (3) Latin America and Asia Pacific. Revenue by region for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015 and the related changes were shown in the table below:

Total Revenue	$	79.6	$	82.4	$	(2.8	)	(3.4	)%

Our revenue in North America was down $3.4 million, or 8.8%, during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2015. The revenue reduction was from reduced sales to wireless operator customers and a small decrease in sales to government and utility markets.

Our revenue in Africa and Middle East increased $2.7 million, or 11.0%, for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2015. The increase in revenue came from sales to several customers in the Middle East in the quarter.

Revenue in Europe and Russia decreased $1.7 million, or 20.7%, for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2015. We have observed some reduction in customer spending in this region due to the devaluation of the Euro relative to the U.S. dollar over the past months.

Revenue in Latin America and Asia Pacific decreased $0.4 million, or 3.6%, during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared with the same quarter in fiscal 2015. The decrease was primarily due to fewer deliveries to a large customer in Asia Pacific in the quarter compared with the same quarter in previous year, which was offset in part by an increase in sales to a large customer in Latin America.

Our revenue from product sales decreased $2.2 million, or 3.9%, for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared with the same quarter in fiscal 2015. The decrease came primarily from lower sales volumes in North America, Europe and Asia Pacific, offset in part by increased product sales in Africa and Latin America. Our services revenue decreased by $0.6 million, or 2.3%, during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2015, due primarily to reduced service activities in Middle East Africa and Europe, offset in part by increased service sales in North America.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015, the MTN Group in Africa accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue. We have entered into separate and distinct contracts with MTN Group as well as separate arrangements with various MTN Group subsidiaries. The loss of all business from the MTN Group could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

% of revenue	26.4		%	26.7		%
Product margin %	30.7		%	25.9		%
Service margin %	17.4		%	28.3		%

Gross margin for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 decreased by $1.0 million, or 4.5%, compared with the same quarter in fiscal 2015. The decrease in gross margin came from lower margins on sales in Africa and North America. This decrease was offset in part by reduced supply chain costs in the quarter compared with the same quarter in previous year.

Gross margin as a percentage of revenue decreased slightly in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2015, primarily due to lower gross margin rates in Africa and North America, partially offset by reductions in supply chain expenses. Product margin as a percentage of product revenue increased over the prior year quarter primarily due to reduced supply chain costs, partially offset by a decline in product profitability resulting from price declines and product mix differences in Africa and Asia Pacific. Service margin as a percentage of service revenue declined primarily due to a less profitable service business in North America and Africa.

Our research and development (“R&D”) expenses decreased $1.1 million, or 16.7%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared with the same quarter in fiscal 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.4 million reduction in personnel and related expenses and a $0.3 million decrease in facility expense as a result of the restructuring programs we implemented, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in product development costs. We continue to invest in new product features, new functionality and lower cost platforms that we believe will enable our product lines to retain their technology leads in a cost effective manner.

Our selling and administrative expenses declined $2.1 million, or 10.9%, in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 compared with the same quarter in fiscal 2015. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.4 million decrease in personnel and related expenses as a result of the restructuring programs we implemented, a $1.0 million decrease in professional fees related to patent expense and audit fees and a $0.1 million decrease in stock based compensation, partially offset by a $0.3 million increase in agent commissions for project wins and a $0.3 million increase in IT and facility expenses. We will continue to seek ways to improve our operating efficiency.

Restructuring Charges

During the third quarter of fiscal 2015, with the intent to bring our operational cost structure in line with the changing dynamics of the microwave radio and telecommunications markets, we initiated the Fiscal 2015-2016 Plan to lower fixed overhead costs and operating expenses and to preserve cash flow. Activities under the Fiscal 2015-2016 Plan primarily include reductions in force across the Company, but primarily in operations outside the United States.

During the third quarter of fiscal 2014, in line with the decrease in revenue that we experienced and our reduced forecast for the immediate future, we initiated the Fiscal 2014-2015 Plan to reduce our operating costs, primarily in North America, Europe and Asia. Activities under the Fiscal 2014-2015 Plan primarily include reductions in force and additional facility downsizing of our Santa Clara, California headquarters.

During the fourth quarter of fiscal 2013, we initiated the Fiscal 2013-2014 Plan that was intended to reduce our operating expenses primarily in North America, Europe and Asia. Activities under the Fiscal 2013-2014 Plan included reductions in force and the downsizing of our Santa Clara, California headquarters and certain international field offices.

Our restructuring charges by plan for the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015 were summarized in the table below:



	Quarter Ended

Fiscal 2013-2014 Plan	$	—	$	(0.1	)	$	0.1

Our restructuring expenses consisted primarily of severance and related benefit charges and facilities costs related to obligations under non-cancelable leases for facilities that we ceased to use. There were insignificant restructuring activities in the first quarter of fiscal 2016.

Restructuring charges for the first quarter of fiscal 2015 included a $1.3 million facilities charge related to ceasing to use a portion of our Santa Clara headquarters building and a $0.2 million employee termination charge.

As of October 2, 2015, we have substantially completed our activities under the Fiscal 2014-2015 Plan and Fiscal 2013-2014 Plan, and intend to complete the remaining restructuring activities under the Fiscal 2015-2016 Plan by the end of fiscal 2016.

We estimate our annual effective rate at the end of each quarterly period, and we record the tax effect of certain discrete items in the interim period in which they occur, including changes in judgment about uncertain tax positions and deferred tax valuation allowances. The determination of the effective tax rate reflects tax expense and benefit generated in certain foreign jurisdictions. However, jurisdictions with a year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized are excluded from the annual effective tax rate.

Our discontinued operations consist of the WiMAX business, which was sold to EION on September 2, 2011. We completed the business transition with EION in fiscal 2012. The income recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and fiscal 2015 were primarily due to recovery of certain WiMAX customer receivables that were previously written down. The income recognized in the first quarter of fiscal 2015 also included a $0.1 million write-off of accrued liabilities due to EION.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Sources of Cash

As of October 2, 2015, our total cash and cash equivalents were $35.8 million. Approximately $13.5 million, or 38%, of our total cash and cash equivalents, was held by entities domiciled in the United States. The remaining balance of $22.3 million, or 62%, was held by entities outside the United States. Of the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries at October 2, 2015, $16.6 million was held in jurisdictions where our undistributed earnings are indefinitely reinvested, and if repatriated, would be subject to U.S. taxes which are currently nominal.

As of October 2, 2015, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of the $35.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, $19.4 million of available credit under our $40.0 million SVB Credit Facility which expires on September 26, 2016 and future collections of receivables from customers. As of October 2, 2015, we were in compliance with the financial covenants contained in the SVB Credit Facility. We regularly require letters of credit from some customers,

and, from time to time, these letters of credit are discounted without recourse shortly after shipment occurs in order to meet immediate liquidity requirements and to reduce our credit and sovereign risk. Historically our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, credit facilities and cash proceeds from sale of our equity securities. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, our total cash and cash equivalents increased by $1.1 million primarily due to $1.8 million of cash provided by operating activities, partially offset by $0.4 million of cash used for capital expenditures and $0.3 million effect of exchange rate changes on cash and cash equivalents.

Cash provided by operating activities was $1.8 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2016, primarily due to our net loss of $1.2 million, adjusted by non-cash expense items of $4.2 million, increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $3.6 million and in customer advance payments and unearned income of $0.2 million, and decreases in customer service inventories of $0.6 million, partially offset by increases in inventories of $3.0 million, in accounts receivable of $0.8 million and in unbilled costs of $0.1 million and a decrease in income taxes payable of $1.3 million. The increases in accounts payable and accrued expenses were primarily due to the timing of vendor payments. The increase in customer advance payments and unearned income was due to the timing of revenue recognition on several large contracts. The decrease in customer service inventories was primarily due to usage of parts to fulfill warranty obligations. The increase in inventories was primarily due to higher deferred cost of sales associated with higher unearned income on projects and the timing of customer shipments. The increase in accounts receivable was due to the billing during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 exceeding collections. The increase in unbilled costs was due to the timing of billing of projects. The decrease in income taxes payable was due to our payments on income tax liabilities during the quarter. We used $1.0 million in cash during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 on expenses related to restructuring liabilities.

During the remainder of fiscal year 2016, we expect to spend approximately $3.0 million for capital expenditures, primarily on equipment for development and manufacturing of new products and to support customer managed services.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, the available line of credit under the SVB Credit Facility and future cash collections from customers will be sufficient to provide for our anticipated requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. Our SVB Credit Facility expires on September 26, 2016. While we intend to renew and expect the SVB Credit Facility to be renewed, there can be no assurance that the SVB Credit Facility will be renewed. In addition, there can be no assurance that our business will generate cash flow from operations, we will be in compliance with the quarterly financial covenants contained in the SVB Credit Facility, or that anticipated operational improvements will be achieved. If we are not in compliance with the financial covenants, the availability of our credit facility is not certain or may be diminished. Over the longer term, if we are unable to maintain cash balances or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our obligations that may arise in the future, we may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, or obtain financing. If we need to obtain additional financing, we cannot be assured that it will be available on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to make scheduled principal payments or pay interest on or refinance any future indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the microwave communications market and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our control.

Available Credit Facility, Borrowings and Repayment of Debt

On March 28, 2014, we entered into the SVB Credit Facility which was amended subsequently in 2014 providing for the extensions of the deadline for preparing and filing our fiscal 2014 financial statements with the SEC. On February 27, 2015, the SVB Credit Facility was further amended providing for certain amendments to the financial covenants, borrowing base and an early termination fee if the credit facility is terminated prior to its expiration. This agreement amends and restates our First Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, which was entered into on September 27, 2013 and amended providing for certain amendments to the maximum borrowing limit and financial covenants. The SVB Credit Facility expires on September 26, 2016, and our outstanding debt under the SVB Credit Facility was $9.0 million as of October 2, 2015.

The SVB Credit Facility provides for a committed amount of up to $40.0 million, with a $30.0 million sublimit that can be borrowed by our Singapore subsidiary. Borrowings that may be advanced under the SVB Credit Facility at the lesser of $40.0 million or a borrowing base equal to a specified percentage of the value of eligible accounts receivable and U.S. unbilled accounts of the Company, subject to certain reserves and eligibility criteria. The SVB Credit Facility can also be utilized to issue letters of credit. Principal, together with all accrued and unpaid interest, is due and payable on September 26, 2016. If the SVB Credit Facility is terminated by us in certain circumstances prior to its expiration, we are subject to an early termination fee equal to 1% of the revolving line. As of October 2, 2015, available credit under the

SVB Credit Facility was $19.4 million reflecting the calculated borrowing base of $32.5 million less existing borrowings of $9.0 million and outstanding letters of credit of $4.1 million.

Borrowings under the SVB Credit Facility carry an interest rate computed at the daily prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal plus a spread of 0.50% to 1.50%, with such spread determined based on our adjusted quick ratio. If a minimum adjusted quick ratio requirement is satisfied, LIBOR advances are offered at LIBOR plus a spread of 2.75%. Interest is due and payable in arrears monthly for prime rate loans and, for LIBOR rate loans, at the end of an interest period or at each three-month interval if the interest period is greater than three months. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the weighted average interest rate on our outstanding loan was 3.75%.

Restructuring Payments

We had liabilities for restructuring activities totaling $3.5 million as of October 2, 2015, $3.0 million of which was classified as current liability and expected to be paid out in cash over the next 12 months. We expect to fund these future payments with available cash and cash provided by operations.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The amounts disclosed in our fiscal 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K include our commercial commitments and contractual obligations. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, no material changes occurred in our contractual obligations to purchase goods and services and to make payments under operating leases or our commercial commitments and contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit, guarantees and other arrangements as disclosed in our fiscal 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K. Please refer to Note 11, “Commitments and Contingencies” in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Critical Accounting Estimates

For information about our critical accounting estimates, see the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section of “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our fiscal 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. We employ established policies and procedures governing the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

Exchange Rate Risk

We conduct business globally in numerous currencies and are therefore exposed to foreign currency risks. We use derivative instruments to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes or make speculative investments in foreign currencies.

We use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge forecasted foreign currency transactions relating to forecasted sales and purchase transactions. Prior to the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, these derivatives were designated as cash flow

hedges and were carried at fair value. The effective portion of the gain or loss was initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and upon occurrence of the forecasted transaction, was subsequently reclassified into the income or expense line item to which the hedged transaction relates. Beginning the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we no longer prepared contemporaneous documentation of hedges. As are result, the foreign exchange hedges no longer qualified as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value related to the hedges were recorded in the income or expenses line items on our statements of operations. We also enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the change in fair value of specific non-functional currency assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. All balance sheet hedges are marked to market through earnings every period. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are largely offset by re-measurement of the underlying assets and liabilities.

As of October 2, 2015, we had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a total notional amount of $6.8 million consisting of 7 different currencies. The following is a summary of the gross notional amount of our outstanding contracts grouped by the underlying foreign currency as of October 2, 2015:



Currency	Notional Contract Amount (Local Currency)	Notional Contract Amount (USD)
	(In millions)
Euro	1.9	$	2.1
Republic of South Africa rand	20.4	1.5
Australia dollar	2.1	1.5
Singapore dollar	1.3	0.9
Other currencies	N/A	0.8
Total of all currency forward contracts		$	6.8

Net foreign exchange loss recorded in our consolidated statements of operations during the first quarter of fiscal 2016 and 2015 was as follows:



	Quarter Ended
(In millions)	October 2, 2015		September 26, 2014
Foreign exchange gain (loss), net	$	0.2	$	(0.4	)

A 10% adverse change in currency exchange rates for our foreign currency derivatives held as of October 2, 2015 would have an impact of approximately $0.7 million on the fair value of such instruments. This quantification of exposure to the market risk associated with foreign exchange financial instruments does not take into account the offsetting impact of changes in the fair value of our foreign denominated assets, liabilities and firm commitments.

Certain of our international business was transacted in non-U.S. dollar currency. As discussed above, we utilize foreign currency hedging instruments to minimize the currency risk of international transactions. The impact of translating the assets and liabilities of foreign operations to U.S. dollars for the first quarter of fiscal 2016, mostly Nigeria Naira and Euro, was $0.8 million and was included as a component of stockholders’ equity. As of October 2, 2015 and July 3, 2015, the cumulative translation adjustment decreased our stockholders’ equity by $9.3 million and $8.5 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash equivalents and borrowings under our credit facility.

Exposure on Cash Equivalents

We had $35.8 million in total cash and cash equivalents as of October 2, 2015. Cash equivalents totaled $13.9 million as of October 2, 2015 and were comprised of money market funds and certificates of deposit. Cash equivalents have been recorded at fair value on our balance sheet.

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our short-term investment portfolio. We invest in high-credit quality issues and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and country. The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. The portfolio is also diversified by maturity to ensure that funds are readily available as needed to meet our liquidity needs. This policy reduces the potential need to sell securities in order to meet liquidity needs and therefore the potential effect of changing market rates on the value of securities sold.

The primary objective of our short-term investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields, without significantly increasing risk. Our cash equivalents earn interest at fixed rates; therefore, changes in interest rates will not generate a gain or loss on these investments unless they are sold prior to maturity. Actual gains and losses due to the sale of our investments prior to maturity have been immaterial. The weighted average days to maturity for cash equivalents held as of October 2, 2015 was six days, and these investments had an average yield of 1.71% per annum. A 10% change in interest rates on our cash and cash equivalents is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Exposure on Borrowings

During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, we had $9.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the SVB Credit Facility that incurred interest at the prime rate plus a spread of 0.50% to 1.50%. During the first quarter of fiscal 2016, our weighted average interest rate was 3.75% and the interest expense on these borrowings was insignificant.

A 10% change in interest rates on the current borrowings or on future borrowings is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows since interest on our borrowings is not material to our overall financial position.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

(a) Material Weaknesses on Internal Control over Financial Reporting

Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process designed by, or under the supervision of, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, or persons performing similar functions, and effected by the board of directors, management and other personnel, to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with U.S. GAAP and includes those policies and procedures that: (i) pertain to the maintenance of records that in reasonable detail accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the Company; (ii) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and that receipts and expenditures of the Company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the Company; and (iii) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use or disposition of the Company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.

Because of inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.

Under the supervision and with the participation of management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, management has assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on the criteria set forth in the Internal Control - Integrated Framework (2013) issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission.

A material weakness is a control deficiency or a combination of control deficiencies that results in more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the annual or interim financial statements will not be prevented or detected.

In connection with the Company’s assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, the Company identified the following material weaknesses that existed as of July 3, 2015 that continued to exist as of October 2, 2015:

•

COSO Components - Risk Assessment and Monitoring Activities. We determined that our controls pertaining to risk assessment and monitoring activities did not operate effectively, resulting in a material weakness pertaining to these COSO components. Specifically, (i) with respect to risk assessment, we did not sufficiently identify and address risks associated with (a) the adequacy of training needs of employees whose job functions bear upon our accounting and financial reporting; (b) segregation of duty conflicts and the adequacy and effectiveness of compensating controls; and (c) certain processes, further noted in the Control Activities discussion below, resulting in inadequately designed control activities; and (ii) with respect to monitoring activities, (a) we did not design and maintain effective controls for the review, supervision and monitoring of our international accounting operations and for evaluating the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting, including adequate documentation of control performance; and (b) there were insufficient procedures to effectively determine the adequacy of our internal control over financial reporting. The deficiencies in these COSO components are interrelated and represent a material weakness. This material weakness contributed to the other material weaknesses described below and an environment where there was more than a remote likelihood that a material misstatement of the interim and annual consolidated financial statements could occur and not be prevented or detected. As a result, adjustments to various accounts were made to correct errors that were determined to be immaterial to the prior period financial statements.


•	Control Activities - Account Reconciliations. The design and operating effectiveness of our controls were inadequate to ensure that account reconciliations were reviewed and approved for accuracy and completeness and that we identified, accumulated and documented appropriate information necessary to support account balances.


•	Control Activities - Revenue Recognition. The design and operating effectiveness of our controls were inadequate to ensure that the terms and conditions of all negotiated customer discounts were agreed upon with the customer in advance of recognizing revenue to ensure that the reported amount and timing of revenue recognition was accurate.


•	Control Activities - Revenue Cut-off Procedures. The design and operating effectiveness of our controls were inadequate to ensure that all revenue recognized on shipments made under FOB Destination terms was recognized in the proper period.


•	Control Activities - Project Accruals. The design and operating effectiveness of our controls were inadequate to ensure that the project accrual balances were accurate.


•	Control Activities - Inventory Existence. The design and operating effectiveness of our controls over inventory cycle counts and inventory at consigned locations were inadequate to ensure that the underlying quantities in support of inventory balances were accurate.

Errors identified in our financial statements and the aforementioned material weaknesses resulted in a reasonable possibility that a material misstatement of our annual or interim consolidated financial statements would not be prevented or detected on a timely basis.

The material weaknesses identified by management could result in a material misstatement to our annual or interim financial statements that would not be prevented or detected. Management has concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was not effective as of July 3, 2015 and October 2, 2015, respectively, due to the material weaknesses identified. We reviewed the results of management’s assessment with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors.

(b) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include,

without limitation controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

As of October 2, 2015, management carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures. Based upon the evaluation and as a result of the material weaknesses described above, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that, as of October 2, 2015, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective at the reasonable assurance level.

There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurances of achieving their control objectives.

Subsequent to our July 3, 2015 fiscal year end, we began taking a number of actions, including designing and implementing new controls and revising existing controls, in order to remediate the material weaknesses described above. We expect to continue our remediation efforts, including testing of the operating effectiveness of new controls, as described below under “Remedial Actions to Address Material Weaknesses” with respect to the material weaknesses identified during the fiscal year ended July 3, 2015 and provide an update on the status of our remediation activities on a quarterly basis.

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended October 2, 2015 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting, other than progress with respect to the implementation of certain remediation efforts, as described below.

(d) Remedial Actions to Address Material Weaknesses

We continue to evaluate the effectiveness of our remediation efforts, including demonstrating that the new or improved controls operate effectively for a reasonable period of time. If appropriate, we expect to make further changes to our internal controls. The following actions have been taken, are in process of being taken or we expect to take as soon as practicable, to strengthen our controls and organizational structure:


•	We are providing additional training to employees whose job functions bear upon our accounting and financial reporting, including members of the sales and operations departments, in order to ensure that our employees develop a greater understanding of the control activities that they perform.

▪

We are enhancing our risk assessment process. With regard to segregation of duty (“SOD”) conflicts associated with our worldwide enterprise resource planning system, we are streamlining and narrowing user system responsibilities in order to reduce the number of SOD conflicts and are developing processes to monitor all remaining SOD conflicts on an ongoing basis. With regard to control design deficiencies, we plan to perform a more robust assessment of risks impacting our accounting and financial reporting and implement new controls or revise existing controls to address such risks.


▪	We are implementing processes to improve monitoring activities involving the review and supervision of our accounting operations. We expect this to involve (i) implementing increased and enhanced balance sheet reviews to allow more focus on quality account reconciliations; (ii) enhancing monitoring over international activities; and (iii) enhancing monitoring of our project accrual balances.


▪	To improve the accuracy of our revenue cut-off procedures, we are expanding the time period over which FOB Destination shipments are reviewed at quarter-end to provide additional assurance that revenue on all shipments made during the cut-off period is recognized in the proper period.

▪

To improve the accuracy of our inventory quantities, we are reviewing (i) our inventory cycle count procedures; (ii) our review and supervision of such procedures; (iii) our controls over consigned inventory locations including procedures to validate inventory quantities held at third-party locations; and (iv) our monitoring activities specifically pertaining to cycle counts to ensure that our cycle count procedures address

all relevant risks, are adequately documented and are sufficiently supervised and monitored on an ongoing basis.
