ADEPT TECHNOLOGY, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
1. General
The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. However, certain information or footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles have been condensed or omitted pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The information furnished in this report reflects all adjustments that, in the opinion of management, are necessary for a fair presentation of the consolidated financial position, results of operations and cash flows as of and for the interim periods presented. The results for such periods are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the full fiscal year or for any other future period.
The condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, included in Adept Technology, Inc.’s (“Adept” or the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 24, 2012.
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting periods. Therefore, actual results could differ from those estimates and could have a material impact on Adept’s condensed consolidated financial statements, and it is possible that such changes could occur in the near term.
2. Stock-Based Compensation
The Company has adopted equity incentive plans that provide for the grant to employees of stock-based awards, including without limitation, stock options, restricted shares, and restricted stock units of Adept common stock. In addition, certain of these plans permit the grant of non-statutory stock-based awards to consultants and non-employee directors. To date, Adept has primarily granted options under its existing stock plans and, commencing in fiscal 2009, grants shares of restricted stock to executive and certain non-executive employees as incentive compensation subject to performance criteria. Option awards granted prior to the end of the second fiscal quarter 2013 have an exercise price equal to the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant. Those option awards generally have ten-year contractual terms. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) that allows employees to purchase a limited number of shares of its common stock at a discount of 15% of the market value at certain plan-defined dates that are established at six-month intervals.
Adept has an ESPP and two equity compensation plans currently in effect, which are the 2003 Stock Option Plan and 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. As of December 29, 2012, there were 386,682 shares available for issuance under the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan and the outstanding options, restricted shares, and available shares remaining for issuance are as follows:
Plan | Subject to Outstanding Options and Restricted Stock | Available shares for grant and issuance | |||
2003 Stock Option Plan | 325,490 | 55,413 | |||
2005 Equity Incentive Plan | 935,991 | 663,075 |
Options are also outstanding pursuant to four equity compensation plans which have expired or been terminated. These include the 1993 Stock Option Plan which has 20,789 shares subject to outstanding options; the 1995 Director Stock Option Plan which has 1,200 shares subject to outstanding options; the 2001 Stock Option Plan which has 88,000 shares subject to outstanding options; and the 2004 Director Option Plan which has 107,000 shares subject to outstanding options.
Under all plans, for employee grants, vesting of options is generally monthly in equal installments over a four year period. Restricted stock grants made to date to Adept executive officers and other senior management employees under annual performance programs and discretionary grants pursuant to the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan, are subject to vesting quarterly over two years following the end of the relevant fiscal year of performance. Initial director grants made prior to March 2010 vest one-fourth on the first anniversary of the grant, then monthly in equal installments thereafter for three years. Annual non-employee director grants made prior to March 2010 vest monthly in equal installments over a four year period. In March 2010, the Board revised director compensation so that annual option grants of 6,000 shares to non-employee directors made after March 2010 vest in full on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders following the meeting at which the director is elected and the annual grant is made, and the initial option grant of 10,000 shares to non-employee directors vests in the amount of 50% of the grant on the first annual
6
meeting of stockholders following the initial appointment or election of the director and the remaining 50% vests at the second annual meeting of stockholders of the Company following the initial appointment or election of the director. In March 2010, the Board of Directors authorized a one-time option grant with 100% vesting to occur at the 2010 annual meeting of stockholders to reflect the increase in equity compensation for the 2010 year of service on the Board of Directors.
For all grants, the Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation as an expense in the calculation of net income (loss), which is recognized ratably over the vesting period of the individual equity instruments. All stock compensation recorded during the six months ended December 29, 2012 has been accounted for as an equity instrument.
The Company recorded $582,000 and $854,000 of stock-based compensation expense on its unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations for the six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, for its stock plans, ESPP, and acquisition-related equity issuances. The Company did not record an income-tax benefit for the stock compensation expense because of the extent of its net operating loss carry-forwards. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of the stock-based compensation. The weighted average grant-date fair values of the options granted to employees and non-employee directors under the equity incentive plans for the six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $2.30 and $2.45, respectively. The weighted average grant-date fair values of the shares subject to purchase under the ESPP for the six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 were $1.31 and $1.30, respectively. Starting January 1, 2010, ESPP shares are issued in April and November.
The weighted average grant-date fair values were calculated using the following weighted average assumptions:
Six Months Ended | |||||||||
December 29, 2012 | December 31, 2011 | ||||||||
Equity Incentive and Stock Option Plans | Purchase Plan | Equity Incentive and Stock Option Plans | Purchase Plan | ||||||
Average risk free interest rate | 0.53% | 0.16 | % | 0.67% | 0.10 | % | |||
Expected life (in years) | 5.88 | 0.49 | 5.75 | 0.49 | |||||
Expected volatility | 80% | 62 | % | 82% | 59 | % | |||
Dividend yield | 0% | 0 | % | 0% | 0 | % |
The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends, is restricted from paying cash dividends by its credit facility, and has no present intention to pay cash dividends. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Adept’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options or ESPP shares. The risk-free interest rate is based on the observed and expected life of options or ESPP shares by Adept’s employees and is indexed to the Treasury Constant Maturity rate. The expected life in years is based on the historic time to post-vesting exercise and forfeitures of the options or ESPP shares. Starting January 1, 2010, ESPP shares are issued in April and November.
For the six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, stock-based compensation expense was based on the Company’s historical experience of option cancellations prior to vesting. The Company has assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 5% for each period for its options. The Company records additional expense if the actual forfeiture rate is lower than estimated and records a recovery of prior expense if the actual forfeiture rate is higher than estimated.
A summary of stock option activity under the option plans as of December 29, 2012 and changes during the six months then ended is presented below:

A summary of restricted stock activity under the 2005 Equity Incentive Plan as of December 29, 2012 and changes during the six months then ended is presented below:
Awards | Shares | Weighted Average- Grant Date Fair Value Per Share | ||||
Balance at June 30, 2012 | — | $ | — | |||
Awarded | 178,000 | 4.31 | ||||

Forfeited due to cancellation or for taxes | (47,625 | ) | 4.31 | |||
Balance at December 29, 2012 | 104,564 | $ | 4.31 |
As of December 29, 2012, there was $824,414 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and restricted stock awards granted and outstanding; the cost of which is expected to be recognized through fiscal 2016, with a weighted average remaining period of 1.32 years for stock options and 0.74 years for stock awards.
In fiscal 2010 and fiscal 2011, Adept issued an aggregate of 468,956 shares of unregistered restricted stock outside of the equity incentive plans in connection with the acquisitions of MobileRobots Inc. ("MobileRobots") and InMoTx, Inc. ("InMoTx"), which were accounted for as compensation as vesting was contingent upon continued service. The 468,956 shares do not include shares issued and accounted for as merger consideration, and the complete stock issuance information for each merger is discussed in Note 15 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.
The Company issued 368,956 shares of restricted stock in connection with the acquisition of MobileRobots, to vest one-third on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing date of the acquisition, contingent upon the continued employment of stockholders receiving such shares, subject to acceleration or forfeiture in certain circumstances, and subject to the indemnification obligations of the MobileRobots stockholders as described in Note 15 to the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. On April 15, 2011, one of the MobileRobots founders terminated employment with Adept and vesting was accelerated on 173,074 shares of restricted stock issued in connection with the acquisition of MobileRobots. On June 25, 2012 and June 25, 2011, 7,603 and 65,293 shares, respectively, of restricted stock vested in the annual vesting of the shares issued pursuant to the merger agreement. On September 30, 2011, another MobileRobots founder terminated employment with Adept, and vesting was accelerated on 115,383 shares of restricted stock. As of December 29, 2012, there were 7,603 shares issued in connection with the merger remaining to vest under the MobileRobots acquisition agreement.
In fiscal 2011, the Company also made a grant of 100,000 shares of unregistered restricted stock in connection with the acquisition of InMoTx to its chief technology officer to vest on the third anniversary of the acquisition, contingent upon his continued employment and subject to acceleration or forfeiture in certain circumstances. On September 20, 2011, the InMoTx chief technology officer entered into a separation agreement with the Company to terminate employment on January 31, 2012. Of the 100,000 shares issued, 80,500 shares were forfeited on September 20, 2011, and 19,500 shares vested on June 30, 2012, upon satisfactory completion of the requirements set forth in the separation agreement. As of June 30, 2012, there were no shares remaining to vest under this agreement.
During the six months ended December 29, 2012, 35,646 shares of common stock were issued under the Company's 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. Shares are issued semi-annually under the ESPP in April and November.
Total common shares outstanding at December 29, 2012 were 10,727,918.
3. Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Short-Term Investments
The Company considers all highly liquid investments purchased with an original maturity of three months or less to be cash equivalents. Short-term investments typically consist of marketable securities and money market investments with maturities between three and twelve months. Investments are classified as held-to-maturity, trading, or available-for-sale at the time of purchase. At December 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012, the Company had $6.9 million and $8.7 million, respectively, in cash and cash equivalents.
Realized gains or losses, interest, and dividends are included in interest income.

6. Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
On January 10, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of InMoTx. Goodwill of $1.4 million and intangible assets of $1.3 million were acquired as a result of the acquisition. Of the $1.3 million in intangible assets, $1.1 million was assigned to developed technology to be amortized over seven years, and $231,000 was assigned to trademarks and trade names to be amortized over three years. During the fiscal quarter ending December 29, 2012, the Company analyzed future demand for the software acquired in the purchase of InMoTx noting a significant reduction in expectations in comparison to previous forecasts. In addition, the Company elected to rebrand the related InMoTx Octomation product line with Adept's trade name, AdeptPac, and will no longer use the Octomation trade names. Following these events, the Company completed an impairment analysis of the goodwill and intangible assets associated with the acquisition. The Company concluded that the carrying value of intangible assets for the software and trademarks were not supportable because the estimate of future cash flows related to these intangible assets was not sufficient to recover the carrying value of such intangibles. The carrying value of the InMoTx Octomation software and the trademarks was $234,000. The Company also concluded that the goodwill was impaired as the fair value of the reporting unit did not exceed the carrying value of the reporting unit. The Company compared the reporting unit's implied fair value to carrying value noting full impairment of the goodwill was necessary. Accordingly, the Company impaired assets in the amount of $1.7 million including the entire value of goodwill and $234,000 of the intangibles assets related to this acquisition
On June 25, 2010, The Company acquired MobileRobots. Goodwill of $1.2 million and intangible assets of $1.2 million were acquired as a result of the acquisition. Of the $1.2 million in intangible assets, $830,000 was assigned to patents to be amortized over five to ten years, and $340,000 was assigned to the customer base to be amortized over three years.

7. Financing Arrangements
Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock
On September 18, 2012, the Company issued 8,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the "Preferred Stock"), at a price of $1,000 per share to Hale Capital Partners, LP ("Hale Capital"). The Company received net proceeds of approximately $7.6 million from the issuance of the Preferred Stock, after deducting expenses paid by the Company.
Holders of Preferred Stock (the "Holders") are entitled to receive dividends payable quarterly in arrears, at the election of the Company either in cash or, subject to certain equity conditions not met in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013, in common stock. Dividends on the Preferred Stock accrue at Prime Rate (Wall Street Journal Eastern Edition) plus 3% (up to a maximum amount of 4%). The interest rate for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2013 was 4%.
Each share of the Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the Holder and upon certain mandatory conversion events described below, at a conversion rate of $4.60.
If on or after the first anniversary of the issuance of the Preferred Stock, the Company's common stock price exceeds the “Applicable Percentage” (meaning, 200% of the conversion rate from the first anniversary to the second anniversary, 175% until the third anniversary, and 150% thereafter) for a consecutive 60 days, such price is maintained until conversion, and certain equity conditions exist providing that such shares of common stock issued upon conversion can be immediately saleable by the Holders (the "Equity Conditions”), the Company can convert shares of the Preferred Stock up to an amount equal to the greater of the then-one week trading volume of the Company's common stock (the “Volume Limit”) or the amount of an identified bona fide block trade at a price not less than the then-current market price.
Starting 18 months after issuance of the Preferred Stock, if the trading price of the Company's common stock is more than 110% of the conversion price of approximately ten trading days for a specified period, the Company may convert up to 10% of the Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement per quarter at 100% of the original price plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends, subject to a maximum conversion amount equal to the Volume Limit per month, subject to the Equity Conditions. The ability to require conversion requires that the Company (i) maintains such amount of cash and cash equivalents and (ii) satisfies such EBITDA threshold, in each case as is mutually determined by the Company and Silicon Valley
10
Bank and reasonably acceptable to Hale Capital. If the Company cannot convert the Preferred Stock due to its failure to satisfy the conditions, then it may redeem the same number of shares for cash at the same price subject to agreement of the Holder.
Upon certain triggering events, such as bankruptcy, insolvency or a material adverse effect or failure of the Company to issue shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock in accordance with its obligations, the Holders may require the Company to redeem all or some of the Preferred Stock at a price equal to 100% of the conversion amount, and in certain events, the higher trading price of the Company's common stock underlying the Preferred Stock between the date of the redemption notice and redemption, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
On or after September 30, 2016, each Holder can require the Company to redeem its Preferred Stock in cash at a price equal to 100% of the conversion amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
Silicon Valley Bank Line of Credit
Adept has a revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB. Adept originally entered into the Loan and Security Agreement and related agreements for the revolving line in May 2009. In March 2011, Adept entered into an additional Loan and Security Agreement (EX-IM Loan Facility) and related agreements with SVB, pursuant to which a portion of the revolving line (the “EX-IM Line”) is guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States, and Adept is able to borrow against foreign accounts receivable and export-related inventory. The loan documents have been amended in previous quarters. The revolving line of credit and recent amendments are also described in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q under the section entitled "Liquidity and Capital Resources". Please refer to the audited consolidated financial statements and Notes 6 and 12 thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012 included in Adept's Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 24, 2012 for additional disclosures regarding the revolving line of credit.
Adept must meet specified financial and other covenants during the term of the revolving line. Under the financial covenants, Adept must maintain (a) liquidity (domestic cash plus the available domestic borrowing base, measured monthly) of at least $5 million and (b) minimum aggregate rolling six-month EBITDA (measured at the end of each fiscal quarter for the six months ending on such date and applying the EBITDA definition set forth in the Loan and Security Agreement) equal to or exceeding specified amounts for each quarter. The quarterly EBITDA amounts in the Loan and Security Agreement are minimum amounts for financial covenant purposes only, and do not represent projections of Adept's financial results.
During the second quarter, Adept repaid the remaining outstanding loan balance under the revolving line of credit. As of December 29, 2012, Adept did not meet the financial covenant requiring Adept to maintain minimum aggregate rolling six-month EBITDA. Adept has entered into a forbearance agreement with SVB in which SVB agreed not to exercise its default-related rights and remedies with respect to this financial covenant default through March 2, 2013, during which period Adept is not able to borrow funds under the credit line. The revolving line of credit expires on March 25, 2013, and Adept is currently seeking to negotiate a replacement line of credit. Adept was in compliance with the covenants in the loan documents as of June 30, 2012. At December 29, 2012, the Company had no outstanding principal balance under the revolving line.
8. Warranties
The Company’s warranty policy is included in its terms of sale and states that there are no rights of return, and that a refund may be made at Adept’s discretion, and only if there is an identified fault in the product and the customer has complied with Adept’s approved maintenance schedules and procedures, and the product has not been subject to abuse. The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time revenue is recognized. While the Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its components suppliers, the Company’s warranty obligation is affected by product failure rates, material usage and service labor and delivery costs incurred in correcting a product failure. Should actual product failure rates, material usage, service labor or delivery costs differ from the Company’s estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.
Changes in the Company’s warranty liability are as follows (in thousands):

9. Legal Proceedings
From time to time, the Company is party to various legal proceedings or claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company has reviewed pending legal matters and believes that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or results of operations.
Adept has in the past received communications from third parties asserting that it has infringed upon certain patents and other intellectual property rights of others, or seeking indemnification against alleged infringement. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the likelihood or outcome of any actual or potential actions from such assertions against the Company or other matters, the Company believes the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.
10. Income Taxes
The Company provides for income taxes during interim reporting periods using the discrete period method. The Company also maintains a liability to cover the cost of additional tax exposure items pertaining to the filing of federal and state income tax returns, as well as filings in foreign jurisdictions. Each of these filing jurisdictions may audit the tax returns filed and propose adjustments. Adjustments may arise from a variety of factors, including different interpretations of statutes and regulations.
The Company recorded a tax provision of $115,000 and $102,000 for the three and six months ended December 29, 2012, respectively, primarily due to foreign tax of certain foreign entities and a nominal amount of state minimum taxes. The Company recorded a tax provision of $12,000 and $41,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, respectively, primarily due to foreign tax of certain foreign entities and state minimum taxes.
The Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $8.1 million as of December 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012. Approximately $7.6 million and $7.7 million of the unrecognized tax benefit as of December 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012 respectively has been offset by a full valuation allowance. If all of these unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, approximately $0.5 million and $0.4 million as of December 29, 2012 and June 30, 2012 respectively would benefit the income tax provision. In addition, the Company does not expect any material changes to the estimated amount of the liability associated with its uncertain tax positions within the next twelve months.
The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, California and various state and foreign tax jurisdictions in which it has a subsidiary or branch operation. The tax years 1998 to 2012 remain open to examination by the U.S. and state tax authorities, and the tax years 2006 to 2012 remain open to examination by the foreign tax authorities.
Adept’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of December 29, 2012, the Company had accrued interest or penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $36,000.

12. Segment Information
The Company discloses certain information regarding operating segments, products and services, geographic areas of operation and major customers. This reporting is based upon the “management approach”: how management organizes the Company’s operating segments for which separate financial information is (i) available and (ii) evaluated regularly by the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. Adept’s chief operating decision maker is its Chief Executive Officer, or CEO.
Adept’s business is focused towards delivering intelligent, flexible production automation products, components and services for assembly, packaging, material handling and lab automation applications under two operating segments: Robotics and Services and Support.
• | The Robotics segment provides intelligent motion control systems, production automation software, including vision-guidance and application software, and robot mechanisms, including robots with autonomous capabilities, to customers. |
• | The Services and Support segment provides support services to customers including: spare parts for, and/or remanufacture of, robot mechanisms; information regarding the use of the Company’s automation equipment; ongoing support of installed systems; consulting services for applications; and training courses ranging from system operation and maintenance to advanced programming, geared towards manufacturing engineers who design and implement automation lines. |
The Company evaluates performance and allocates resources based on segment revenue and segment operating income. Segment operating income is comprised of income before unallocated research, development and engineering expenses, unallocated selling, general and administrative expenses, interest income, and interest and other expenses.
Management does not fully allocate research, development and engineering expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses when making capital spending and expense funding decisions or assessing segment performance. There is no inter-segment revenue recognized. Transfers of materials or labor between segments are recorded at cost.

Goodwill
At December 29, 2012, Adept had $1.5 million in goodwill related to the acquisition of MobileRobots in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010. The goodwill from the acquisition of InMoTx in the third quarter of fiscal 2011 was fully impaired during the three months ended December 29, 2012. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for discussion of the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets. All of the goodwill is carried in the Robotics segment and none is allocated to the Service and Support segment.

13. Foreign Currency Translation
The Company has determined that the local currency is the functional currency for its foreign subsidiaries. The Company’s foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheet accounts are translated at current period ending exchange rates and statements of operations are translated at the average rate for the period. Translation gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity. Foreign currency transaction gains were $262,000 for three months ended December 29, 2012 and foreign currency transactions losses were $121,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Foreign currency transaction losses were $104,000 and $221,000 for the six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
The foreign currency transaction gains recorded in the three months ended December 29, 2012 were mainly generated from gains related to the revaluation of payables held in U.S. dollars and payable in yen and gains related to non-permanent intercompany debt denominated in euros. The foreign currency transaction losses recorded in the six months ended December 29, 2012 were mainly generated from unrealized losses related to the revaluation of payables held in U.S. dollars and payable in yen and realized losses related to non-permanent intercompany debt denominated in euros.
The foreign currency transaction losses recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2011 were mainly generated from realized losses related to non-permanent intercompany debt denominated in euros and paid in U.S. Dollar. The foreign currency transaction losses recorded in the six months ended December 31, 2011 were mainly generated from unrealized losses related to the revaluation of payables held in U.S. dollars and payable in yen and realized losses related to non-permanent intercompany debt denominated in euros.
14. Restructuring Charges
Operationally, from time to time Adept has undertaken restructuring and other cost reduction actions to support its financial model, which emphasizes cost efficiency balanced with investments in the Company's product initiatives and revenue generating activities. In October 2011, the Company announced the decision to consolidate the InMoTx operations in Denmark into its Pleasanton, California operations. Consolidation activities began during the second quarter of fiscal 2012 and were completed as of June 30, 2012.
During the three and six months ended December 29, 2012, the Company incurred $392,000 and $395,000, respectively, in restructuring charges related to restructuring activities during fiscal 2013 which were primarily employee severances in connection with the Company's second quarter reduction in force. Of this amount $85,000 was paid during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and $307,000 was accrued to be paid in the third quarter of fiscal 2013.
15. Acquisitions
InMoTx Acquisition
On January 10, 2011, the Company completed the acquisition of InMoTx. The results of InMoTx's operations have been included in Adept's consolidated financial statements since that date. Based in Denmark before its consolidation in fiscal 2012, InMoTx is a provider of industry leading robotic platform solutions and gripping technology for the global food processing market.
Pursuant to the terms of the merger agreement, the merger consideration payable to InMoTx shareholders included cash and stock valued at up to $4.3 million. Upon the merger, Adept paid $1.5 million in cash, and issued 199,979 shares of its common stock to InMoTx shareholders, of which all shares were subject to a holdback arrangement to secure the InMoTx shareholder indemnity obligations for an 18-month period. Adept also issued 100,000 shares of its restricted common stock to the InMoTx chief technology officer, to vest on the third anniversary of the merger, contingent upon his continued employment by Adept or a subsidiary on the third anniversary of the merger, subject to acceleration for certain exceptions for disability, termination without cause or termination for good reason or a change of control. Adept also agreed to make certain contingent annual payments in cash to the InMoTx shareholders in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the revenues of the acquired business and related products, and to the InMoTx chief technology officer in an amount equal to two percent (2%) of the revenues of the acquired business and related products achieved in excess of specified thresholds during the Adept four fiscal quarters closest to the calendar year periods of 2011 through 2013, the fair value of which was $0 at December 29, 2012.
The 199,979 shares of common stock issued upon the merger were valued at Adept's stock value on the merger date of $4.89 per share, totaling $977,897, and were recognized as consideration upon the merger. The 100,000 shares of restricted common stock issued to the InMoTx chief technology officer would have been recognized on the target vesting date. However, on September 20, 2011, the InMoTx chief technology officer entered into a separation agreement with the Company to terminate his employment
14
on January 31, 2012. Of the 100,000 share grant issued upon the merger, 80,500 shares were forfeited as of September 20, 2011, and 19,500 shares vested on June 30, 2012, upon the satisfactory completion of the requirements set forth in the separation agreement. As of June 30, 2012, there were no shares remaining to vest under this agreement. In addition, any contingent annual cash payments of 2% of revenues to the same individual will be recognized as compensation expense when and if the revenue targets specified in the merger agreement are met.
Including cash paid upon the acquisition of $1.5 million, the total value of merger consideration recognized upon the acquisition of InMoTx was $2.6 million.
The selling stockholders of InMoTx agreed to indemnify Adept for breaches of representations, warranties and covenants contained in the merger agreement for losses up to $1.0 million subject to certain exceptions for core corporate and intellectual property representations or taxes for which the indemnification obligation is up to $1.5 million plus the value of 199,979 shares. The indemnification obligations generally expired in January 2012, with certain exceptions for core corporate and intellectual property representations, taxes, fraud, and designated customer claims. In the third quarter of fiscal 2012, Adept agreed upon indemnification amounts of $508,000 due from the former shareholders of InMoTx relating to customer claims for matters arising prior to the acquisition by Adept. In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, the indemnification shares were returned to Adept.
The fair value of receivables acquired was $14,000, and all amounts were collected subsequent to the acquisition.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):
At January 10, 2011 | |||
Current assets | $ | 88 | |
Property and equipment | 60 | ||
Inventory | 370 | ||
Other long-term assets | 14 | ||
Intangible assets | 1,331 | ||
Goodwill | 1,440 | ||
Total assets acquired | $ | 3,303 | |
Current liabilities | $ | 681 | |
Long-term debt | 54 | ||
Total liabilities assumed | $ | 735 | |
Net assets acquired | $ | 2,568 | |
Intangible assets of $1.3 million consist of $1.1 million in developed technology and $231,000 in trademarks and trade names. The intangible assets were valued using the relief from royalty method, using a rate of 9.1% based upon third party licensing agreements and industry guidelines for the developed technology, and a rate of 1.0% for the trademarks and trade names, based upon the relative age and importance of the trademarks and trade names. Of the total purchase consideration, $1.4 million was recognized as goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase consideration of the acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired and liabilities assumed. See Note 6 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for a discussion of the impairment of goodwill and intangible assets.
The potential annual cash payments to the InMoTx shareholders in an amount equal to ten percent (10%) of the revenues over a predefined threshold of the acquired business and related products were valued at $80,000 on the acquisition date and recognized as a contingent liability. At December 29, 2012, the fair value of the contingent cash payments was $0. The Company took into consideration historical results and revenue projections to estimate the fair value of the contingent consideration, and to determine the probability that these revenue thresholds would be met on the targeted dates outlined in the merger agreement.
MobileRobots Acquisition
On June 25, 2010, the Company acquired the outstanding common shares of MobileRobots. The results of MobileRobots' operations have been included in Adept's consolidated financial statements since that date. MobileRobots, based in New Hampshire, is a provider of autonomous robot and automated guided vehicle technologies.
15
The merger consideration paid to MobileRobots stockholders was $3.0 million, including cash of $1.0 million, net of cash acquired of $100,000 and subject to adjustment for debt and working capital, and 394,403 shares of Adept common stock with a market value of $2.0 million. An additional 368,956 shares were accounted for as compensation, with a market value of $1.9 million, as discussed below.
Of the 763,359 shares issued, 190,841 shares were unrestricted, recognized as merger consideration, and vested in full at the acquisition date market price reported by NASDAQ of $5.10 per share, with a total value of approximately $973,000. Of the total shares issued in the merger, 203,562 shares of restricted stock with a total acquisition date value of $1.0 million also qualified as consideration, however these shares were subject to the indemnification obligations of the stockholders as described below. The remaining 368,956 shares of restricted stock issued to the stockholders were scheduled to be released in equal thirds on each of the first, second and third anniversaries of the closing date of the acquisition, contingent upon the continued employment of such stockholders subject to acceleration or forfeiture in certain circumstances, and recognized as compensation expense over the vesting period if these requirements were met. On April 15, 2011, one of the MobileRobots founders terminated employment with Adept and vesting was accelerated on $173,074 shares of restricted stock issued in connection with the acquisition of MobileRobots. On June 25, 2012 and June 25, 2011, 7,603 and 65,293 shares, respectively, of restricted stock vested in the annual vesting of the shares issued pursuant to the merger agreement. On September 30, 2011, another MobileRobots founder terminated employment with Adept, and vesting was accelerated on 115,383 shares of restricted stock. As of December 29, 2012, there were 7,603 shares remaining to vest under this agreement.
Adept also agreed to pay bonus amounts in cash up to an aggregate $320,000 to employees of MobileRobots after fiscal 2011 if certain MobileRobots product revenue targets were met for fiscal 2011. These contingent cash bonus amounts were payable to MobileRobots employees (not solely its stockholders) and generally required continued employment of the potential recipient through the contingent payment period, and therefore qualify as compensation expense, to be recognized in earnings when or if the targets are met. MobileRobots fiscal 2011 revenues met the minimum revenue threshold as detailed in the merger agreement and a bonus of $100,000 was accrued in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2011 and paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2012.
The MobileRobots stockholders agreed to indemnify Adept for breaches of representations, warranties and covenants contained in the merger agreement up to $3.0 million for a period of 18 months from the date of closing, with exceptions for core corporate and intellectual property representations, taxes and fraud, which expired during fiscal 2012. The indemnification for the core corporate and intellectual property representations expired during fiscal 2012 and the tax indemnification shall survive until the close of business on the 30th day following the expiration of the applicable statute of limitations with respect to the tax liabilities in question. At closing, 203,562 shares were placed in an escrow fund for 18 months as security for the indemnification obligations and were released to the stockholders in December 2011, other than shares remaining subject to the release schedule. As of December 29, 2012, there were 6,293 shares remaining for release with final release on June 24, 2013.
During fiscal 2011, the Company concluded that the restricted stock issued in the acquisition in fiscal 2010 and placed into an escrow fund as discussed above, constituted consideration, not compensation, and should be accounted for in shareholders' equity and additional goodwill. This change in accounting for the restricted stock was reflected in the Company's audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2011, included in Adept Technology, Inc.’s Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 6, 2011.
The following table summarizes the estimated fair values of the assets acquired and liabilities assumed at the date of acquisition (in thousands):
At June 25, 2010 | |||
Current assets | $ | 1,196 | |
Property and equipment | 91 | ||
Intangible assets | 1,170 | ||
Goodwill | 1,186 | ||
Total assets acquired | $ | 3,643 | |
Current liabilities | $ | 515 | |
Long-term debt | 10 | ||
Total liabilities assumed | $ | 525 | |
Net assets acquired | $ | 3,118 | |
16
Intangible assets of $1.2 million consist of $830,000 in developed technology and patents, and $340,000 in customer base. The developed technology and patents were valued using the relief from royalty method, using a rate of 3.5% based upon third-party licensing agreements and industry guidelines for the developed technology. The MobileRobots customer base was valued using the multi-period excess earnings method (“MPEEM”), which values an asset by discounting the future economic benefits of the customer base. Of the total purchase consideration, $1.2 million was recognized as goodwill, which represents the excess of the purchase consideration of the acquired business over the fair value of the underlying net assets acquired and liabilities assumed.
In addition, at June 30, 2011, the Company increased the MobileRobots purchase price allocation for goodwill by $307,000 to record a reduction in deferred tax assets related to the completion of the MobileRobots tax return filings for 2010.
16. Leases
Adept's headquarters and its U.S. research and development and manufacturing operations are located in two leased buildings of approximately 56,891 total square feet in Pleasanton, California. The first lease agreement, which is related to Adept's principal executive offices, is for premises of 33,864 square feet, with a right of first offer on 11,059 additional square feet in Pleasanton, California for a term of seven years ending December 31, 2015, and an option to extend for an additional five-year period. Annual rent payments were $690,826 initially in 2009, subject to a 3% annual increase. During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, Adept received a four-month rent abatement on this lease in exchange for the removal of a clause in the lease which allowed for termination by the lessee on the fifth year, the savings of which will be recognized over the remaining life of the lease through December 31, 2015. The annual rent savings from the abatement is approximately $55,000. The second leased building is located near Adept's executive offices and is used for the Company's manufacturing operations. The leased square feet of this building is 23,027. This lease is for a seven-year term ending January 2014, with an option to extend for an additional five-year period, for initial annual rent of $414,486 in 2009, subject to a 3% annual increase. This lease also includes a right of first offer on 12,000 additional square feet. Adept also leases facilities for sales and operations in Dortmund, Germany. Other leased Adept facilities include Amherst, New Hampshire; Wissous and Annecy, France; Shanghai, China, and Singapore. All of Adept's facilities are used by both of the Company's two reportable business segments.

OVERVIEW
We provide intelligent robotics systems, the core of which are, our motion controls systems, integrated vision-guidance technology and application software, which are sold in combination with our own proprietary robot mechanisms. Our vision-guidance technology is tightly integrated with our motion controls technology, and this is a key differentiator for Adept. We also have autonomous mobile robot and fleet management capabilities that enhance our offerings for target markets. In addition, we provide a full complement of robotics services and support for our customers. Through sales to system integrators, OEM partners and end-user companies, we sell our robotics systems and services into a few broad industries where we believe we can provide the best solutions for particular applications. We operate in two segments: Robotics and Services and Support.
Strategy
Our strategy focuses on specific industries where the use of automation is expected to grow over the long term and where we can provide significant product differentiation. This strategy reflects our belief that new opportunities exist in the expansion of application level solutions in vertical markets, where automation has been largely non-existent or extremely inflexible. The markets we have targeted are: mobile automation, packaging, clean-tech industries such as semiconductor, electronics, and medical. Currently, we are primarily focusing our current investments on our MobileRobots technology for mobile automation, as we believe this market hold significant near-term growth opportunities.
We have invested significantly in our MobileRobots technology to take advantage of emerging opportunities for mobile automation applications across a number of vertical industries, including medical, logistics and light manufacturing. In February 2012, we launched the new Adept Courier, a small autonomous robotic vehicle that performs everyday tasks such as moving goods, materials, samples or parts around an office or production environment. Currently, as further discussed under the heading “Product Developments” below, we are launching a new, internally designed mobile robot platform, Lynx, initially targeted to clean-tech manufacturing markets. A fleet of robots, along with appropriate control software, is typically needed to effectively solve the common logistics problems found in mobile automation environments. We, therefore, believe our unique mobile robot technology has tremendous long-term potential across a wide range of environments. We further believe that over time, our mobile automation business will be characterized by larger average order sizes and better visibility than our traditional businesses.
The packaging market has continued to increase its use of automation even during the last few years of worldwide economic weakness, and our Quattro robot has been well received in this market. Although adoption of certain InMoTx technologies was not successful leading to our recording impairment of intangible assets and goodwill in connection with that acquired business, we believe our acquisition of InMoTx in January 2011 further strengthened our capabilities in the packaging market, as InMoTx has differentiated gripping technology for global food processing applications sold under our SoftPic brand.
Another area that we believe holds long-term growth opportunity for Adept is the worldwide China robotics market. In June 2011, we opened a new sales and service office in Shanghai with the aim of capitalizing on the rapid development of industrial automation in China. This office allows us to be more visible and to provide better access and support to our growing customer base in the region. Additionally, we continue to address our sales efforts towards our traditional markets, such as the German automotive electronics and industrial markets, where our products are well positioned and we believe significant long-term opportunity exists.
Acquisitions
InMoTx
On January 10, 2011, we acquired InMoTx, Inc. (“InMoTx”), a privately-held provider of robotic platform solutions and gripping technology for the global food processing market.
18
In October 2011, we announced the decision to consolidate the InMoTx operations in Denmark into our Pleasanton, California operations. Consolidation activities began during the second quarter of fiscal 2012, and were completed by June 30, 2012. See Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the acquisition of InMoTx.
MobileRobots
On June 25, 2010, we acquired MobileRobots Inc. (“MobileRobots”), a privately-held provider of autonomous robot and automated guided vehicle technologies.
The results of MobileRobots' operations have been included in our consolidated financial statements since June 25, 2010. See Note 15 of the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements for further information regarding the acquisition of MobileRobots.
Trends in Our Business
During the second quarter of fiscal 2013, our revenues decreased 29% compared with the same period in the previous fiscal year, primarily as a result of cyclical and economic downturns broadly experienced our traditional markets which persisted throughout the first half of fiscal 2013.
Sales to disk drive customers in Asia were significantly impacted in the fiscal 2013 due to the industry's cyclical downturn, following approximately several quarters of capital investment. The disk drive industry commonly experiences cycles of capital investment and absorption, which are unpredictable in terms of timing and duration. Given this unpredictability, we currently expect our disk drives sales to experience only modest growth from their current lower levels during the remainder of fiscal 2013.
In our target packaging market, during the second quarter of fiscal 2013 quarter, we experienced a lengthening of sales cycles in Europe as businesses became more cautious due to the weak economic environment, and U.S. sales also were affected by delays in the timing of orders.
Europe was generally very weak in the 2013 second quarter due to political and economic uncertainty, and our sales decreased sharply across our traditional markets including automotive, appliance and consumer goods, with sales to the solar market also decreasing. These unfavorable trends, driven largely by economic and cyclical patterns, are unlikely to recover meaningfully in the fiscal 2013 third quarter and we therefore expect that our sales will continue to be under pressure until our markets regain the confidence needed for capital investment but also expect modest revenue improvement and stabilization in some of our target industries by fiscal year end.
Europe historically has accounted for more than half of our total annual sales and therefore economic weakness in Europe has a disproportionate impact on our overall performance. We are focused on diversifying our revenue base and increasing activity in other regions. Our mobile automation business currently is focused on the U.S. market where there is opportunity in both the commercial and research environments. We have continued to build our customer base in the research sector, which includes universities, labs and similar environments, and are making investments in our new mobile robot platform that initially will be aimed at commercial environments. We believe that there is significant long-term potential for Adept to address material handling applications in the medical, semiconductor, industrial and other markets with differentiated mobile automation technology and expertise.
Restructuring and Cost Reduction Actions
Due to the decline in the Company's revenues in the first half of fiscal 2013 because of the weaker economic environment and reduced capital spending in the Company's markets, the Company has defined a comprehensive restructuring plan to more closely align the Company's spending levels with the Company's near-term revenue expectations. The restructuring included headcount reductions, streamlining operations to prioritize sales and marketing activities, reduce non-core engineering expense and eliminating duplicate functions and non-essential administrative services, and is expected to be completed within the remainder of fiscal 2013. The Company believes that such actions will allow the Company, by fiscal year end, to reduce normal yearly operating expenses for next fiscal year to a level reflecting approximately $6 million annualized savings as compared to fiscal 2012 and in order to permit breakeven at annual revenue of approximately $52 million.
While lowering the cost structure of our business overall to generate positive cash flow, we also continued to focus on our strategic priorities by focusing our growth initiatives of putting mobile robots products into the market as further described under the heading “Product Developments” below, to expand our packaging business by redirecting our efforts to a focus on offering robotic components through our integration channel partners versus sales to direct users who must integrate our products into a complete line of manufacturing and logistics products, and to revitalize our core robotics business.

Product Developments
During the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we introduced Adept ClamPAC™, a robotic packaging automation cell that gently packs hinged food packaging known as “clamshells” into cases at high speeds. The application is designed to reduce the total cost of ownership by delivering a standardized, fully-integrated solution that can be dropped into any production line. ClamPAC reduces integration complexity and deployment time for food processors while providing flexibility, dexterity and speed.
During the third quarter of fiscal 2012, we introduced the Adept Courier, a small autonomous vehicle that simplifies the everyday task of moving goods, materials, samples, or parts around an office or production environment. Using self-navigation software, the Adept Courier finds its own way to destinations, drives around obstacles in its path, and can be deployed in a matter of hours, thus reducing manual transport tasks, shortening turnaround time, and increasing operational efficiencies by re-applying expensive labor from moving goods to higher-value tasks.
During the second quarter of fiscal 2012, we introduced the Adept Viper™ s1700D, a high-performance 6-axis robot. Featuring new motors that are faster and more efficient, the Viper s1700D delivers higher speed motion and increased productivity. Like the previous Viper 1700 robot, the new s1700D offers a long reach and high payload capacity within a small footprint. Designed for applications that require fast and precise automation, the Viper s1700D is ideally suited for material handling, machine tending, packaging, cutting and assembly.
We recently launched our Lynx mobile robot and deployed the first Lynx robot to a semiconductor customer integrating our mobile robot with our vision guided robot arm technology to autonomously transport and automatically load components of the semiconductor foundry process in a fab environment.

For the three months ended December 29, 2012, revenues were $10.8 million, down 29% from revenues of $15.2 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as a result of lower sales in our Robotics segments, offset by the slight increase in our Services and Support segment sales. For the six months ended December 29, 2012, revenues were $22.2 million, down 30% from revenues of $31.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011 as a result of lower sales in both our Robotics and Services and Support segments.
Robotics segment revenues, which result from the sale of our intelligent robotics systems, vision-guidance technology and/or third party robot mechanisms, were $8.2 million for the three months ended December 29, 2012, a decrease of 36% from $12.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Robotics segment revenues were $17.1 million for the six months ended December 29, 2012 a decrease of 35% from $26.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The decreases were primarily due to a cyclical downturn in the disk drive market, a weaker economy in Europe that affected sales across most of our markets, decreased levels of capital investment in the solar market, and delays of orders for our packaging automation solutions.
20
Services and Support revenues, which result from the sale of robotics services and support as well as replacement parts, were $2.6 million for the three months ended December 29, 2012, up 15% from $2.3 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011 as a result of increased sales efforts in the U.S. to increase training and spare parts revenue. Services and Support revenues, were $5.1 million for the six months ended December 29, 2012, down 10% from $5.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011, as a result of weaker economic conditions in the majority of our markets in the first four months of fiscal year 2013.

Performance for individual regions is explained below.
European sales decreased 6% to $6.2 million, and accounted for 57% of total revenue in the three months ended December 29, 2012 compared with the three months ended December 31, 2011, due to a weaker economic environment across most of the Company's European markets. European sales decreased 23% to $11.5 million, and accounted for 52% of total revenue in the six months ended December 29, 2012 compared with the six months ended December 31, 2011, also due to a weaker economic environment across most of the Company's European markets.
Sales from Asia decreased 26% to $1.7 million, and accounted for 16% of total revenue in the three months ended December 29, 2012 compared with the three months ended December 31, 2011, when Asia accounted for 15% of total revenue. This change resulted primarily from decreased disk drive sales as this market entered a cyclical downturn. Sales from Asia decreased 44% to $3.6 million, and accounted for 16% of total revenue in the six months ended December 29, 2012 compared with the six months ended December 31, 2011, when Asia accounted for 20% of total revenue. This change also resulted primarily from decreased disk drive sales as this market entered a cyclical downturn.
Revenues from other countries were a relatively small percentage of the Company’s sales in the three and six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011.

Technological feasibility is demonstrated by the completion of a working model or a detailed program design. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over either two or three years, whichever term is the estimated life of the software product.
R&D expenses for the three months ended December 29, 2012 were $1.9 million, or 18% of revenues, down 14% from $2.2 million, or 15% of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2011 due to the consolidation of the InMoTx operations in Denmark into the Company's Pleasanton, California operations which historically carried higher R&D costs. R&D expenses for the six months ended December 29, 2012 were $4.0 million, or 18% of revenues, down 8% from $4.4 million, or 14% of revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2011 due to the consolidation of the InMoTx operations in Denmark into the Company's Pleasanton, California operations. As further discussed under the heading "Restructuring" in our Overview to management's discussion and analysis above, we expect R&D expenses to decrease in the near-term as a result of the Company's restructuring plan for the remainder of fiscal 2013.
Selling, General and Administrative Expenses.
Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011 are as follows (in thousands, except %):
Three Months Ended | Six Months Ended | ||||||||||||||||||||
(unaudited) | December 29, 2012 | % Change | December 31, 2011 | December 29, 2012 | % Change | December 31, 2011 | |||||||||||||||
Expenses | $ | 4,630 | (3 | )% | $ | 4,776 | $ | 9,787 | (4 | )% | $ | 10,172 | |||||||||
Percentage of revenues | 43 | % | 32 | % | 44 | % | 32 | % |
22
Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, professional fees arising from legal, auditing and other consulting services, indirect costs for service, as well as tradeshow participation and other marketing costs.
SG&A expenses were $4.6 million, or 43% of revenues for the three months ended December 29, 2012, down 3% from $4.8 million, representing 32% of revenues for the three months ended December 31, 2011. SG&A expenses were $9.8 million, or 44% of revenues for the six months ended December 29, 2012, down 4% from $10.2 million, representing 32% of revenues for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The decreases in SG&A expenses in fiscal year 2013 compared with the prior fiscal year period primarily resulted from lower headcount, travel and outside and consulting expenses. We expect SG&A expenses to decrease in the near-term as a result of the Company's restructuring plan for the remainder of fiscal 2013.
Restructuring Charges. For the three and six months ended December 29, 2012, we recorded restructuring charges of $392,000 and $395,000, respectively, related to the current year restructuring. Due to the decline in the Company's revenues in the first half of fiscal 2013 because of the weaker economic environment and reduced capital spending in the Company's markets, the company initiated a restructuring in November 2012 for completion by fiscal year end which included headcount reductions, streamlining operations to prioritize sales and marketing activities, reduce non-core engineering expense and eliminating duplicate functions and non-essential administrative services. The restructuring charges relate primarily to employee severance in connection with our reduction in force. For the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, we recorded restructuring charges of $423,000 related to costs associated with the consolidation of our InMoTx operations in Denmark into our California operations, which was initiated at the beginning of our fiscal 2012 second quarter.
Amortization. Amortization expense was $116,000 for the three months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and $233,000 for the six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, related to the amortization of intangible assets acquired as part of the MobileRobots acquisition in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2010 and the InMoTx acquisition in the third quarter of fiscal 2011.
Stock-Based Compensation Expense. Stock-based compensation expense for our equity incentive plans, ESPP and restricted stock grants was $246,000 and $302,000 for the three months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively, and $582,000 and $854,000 for the six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively. Lower stock-based compensation expense during the fiscal 2013 second quarter was due to the absence of stock expense as compared to prior periods which included stock-based compensation expense for grants made in connection with the acquisition of MobileRobots and InMoTx. We did not record an income-tax benefit for stock-based compensation expense in any of the periods presented because of the extent of our net operating loss carry forwards.
Operating Income (Loss). We recorded an operating loss of $5.3 million for the three months ended December 29, 2012, compared with an operating loss of $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2011, and an operating loss of $8.0 million for the six months ended December 29, 2012, compared with an operating loss of $1.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The higher operating loss recorded in the fiscal 2013 primarily resulted from lower revenues and margin compared with the same period in fiscal 2012, an intangible asset and goodwill impairment charge, increase in excess and obsolete inventory and restructuring charges.
Interest Income (Expense), Net. We recorded interest expense, net of $40,000 for the three months ended December 29, 2012, compared with $58,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. For the six months ended December 29, 2012, interest expense, net was $49,000 compared to $113,000 for the six months ended December 31, 2011. The decrease in interest expense resulted from decreased borrowings under our line of credit during the second quarter of fiscal 2013.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss). Adept’s foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheet accounts are translated at current period ending exchange rates and statements of operations are translated at the average rate for the period. Translation gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) in stockholders’ equity.
Foreign currency transaction gains were $262,000 for three months ended December 29, 2012 and foreign currency transactions losses were $121,000 for the three months ended December 31, 2011. Foreign currency transaction losses were $104,000 and $221,000 for the six months ended December 29, 2012 and December 31, 2011, respectively.
The foreign currency transaction gains recorded in the three months ended December 29, 2012 were mainly generated from gains related to the revaluation of payables held in U.S. dollars and payable in yen and gains related to non-permanent intercompany debt denominated in euros. The foreign currency transaction losses recorded in the six months ended December 29, 2012 were mainly generated from unrealized losses related to the revaluation of payables held in U.S. dollars and payable in yen and realized losses related to non-permanent intercompany debt denominated in euros.
The foreign currency transaction losses recorded in the three months ended December 31, 2011 were mainly generated from realized losses related to non-permanent intercompany debt. The foreign currency transaction losses recorded in the six months
23
ended December 31, 2011 were mainly generated from unrealized losses related to the revaluation of payables held in U.S. dollars and payable in yen and realized losses related to non-permanent intercompany debt denominated in euros.
As we conduct business on a global basis we are exposed to adverse or beneficial movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar/euro and the dollar/yen markets currently present the largest exchange rate risk for Adept.
Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes. Adept typically provides for income taxes during interim reporting periods based upon an estimate of our annual effective tax rate. We also maintain a liability to cover the cost of additional tax exposure items on the filing of federal and state income tax returns as well as filings in foreign jurisdictions. Each of these filing jurisdictions may audit the tax returns filed and propose adjustments. Adjustments arise from a variety of factors, including different interpretations of statutes and regulations. The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is expected to be realized on a more-likely-than-not basis. Deferred tax expense results from the change in the net deferred tax asset or liability between periods.
The Company recorded a tax provision of $115,000 and $102,000 for the three and six months ended December 29, 2012, respectively, primarily due to foreign tax of certain foreign entities and a nominal amount of state minimum taxes. The Company recorded a tax provision of $12,000 and $41,000 for the three and six months ended December 31, 2011, respectively, primarily due to foreign tax of certain foreign entities, state minimum taxes.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and Cash Equivalents: As of December 29, 2012, cash and cash equivalents were $6.9 million after repayment of the outstanding principal balance of our line of credit during the quarter then ended.
Operating Activities: Adept used $4.0 million of cash from operating activities for the six months ended December 29, 2012. The decrease is attributable to net loss of $8.3 million adjusted by non-cash charges of $3.0 million including intangible asset and goodwill impairment of $1.7 million, depreciation and amortization of $722,000 and stock-based compensation of $582,000 and the net cash impact from changes in assets and liabilities of approximately $1.3 million. Net changes in assets and liabilities are primarily attributable to changes in accounts receivable, mainly due lower sales in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013 compared to last quarter of fiscal 2012, offset by decreases in accounts payable and other accrued payable changes as a result lower purchases of inventory and lower expenses occurring in the second quarter of fiscal year 2013.
Investing Activities: Adept incurred $103,000 of capital purchases costs during the six months ended December 29, 2012, and received proceeds of $96,000 from sales of property and equipment.
Financing Activities: $2.2 million of cash, net, was provided by financing activities during the six months ended December 29, 2012. $7.6 million was provided from Adept's issuance of preferred stock, net of issuance costs, as detailed below and proceeds of $207,000 were received from the exercise of options for stock through Adept’s employee stock option program and purchase of stock through Adept's employee stock purchase plan. The Company used $5.5 million to pay down its line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank during the first six month of fiscal 2013, ending with a zero principal balance and paid $11,000 on capital leases and $32,000 on other long-term borrowings.
Issuance of Preferred Stock
On September 18, 2012, Adept issued 8,000 shares of the Company's preferred stock, par value $0.001 per share (the “Preferred Stock”), at a price of $1,000 per share to Hale Capital Partners, LP. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $7.6 million from the issuance of the Preferred Stock, after deducting expenses paid by Adept.
Holders of Preferred Stock (the "Holders") are entitled to receive dividends payable quarterly in arrears, at the election of the Company either in cash or, subject to certain equity conditions not met in the first half of fiscal 2013, in common stock. Dividends on the Preferred Stock accrue at Prime Rate (Wall Street Journal Eastern Edition) plus 3% up to a maximum amount of 4%. The interest rate for the first and second quarters of fiscal 2013 was 4%.
Each share of Preferred Stock is convertible, at the option of the Holder and upon certain mandatory conversion events described below, at a conversion rate of $4.60.
If on or after the first anniversary of the issuance of the Preferred Stock, Adept's common stock price exceeds the “Applicable Percentage” (meaning, 200% of the conversion rate from the first anniversary to the second anniversary, 175% until the third anniversary, and 150% thereafter) for a consecutive 60 days, such price is maintained until conversion, and certain equity conditions exist providing that such shares of common stock issued upon conversion can be immediately saleable by the Holders (the "Equity Conditions"), the Company can convert the Preferred Stock up to an amount equal to the greater of the then-one week trading
24
volume of its common stock (the “Volume Limit”) or the amount of an identified bona fide block trade at a price not less than the then-current market price.
Starting 18 months after issuance of the Preferred Stock, if the trading price of Adept's common stock is more than 110% of the conversion price for a specified period, the Company may convert up to 10% of the Preferred Stock issued pursuant to the Securities Purchase Agreement per quarter at 100% of the original price plus the amount of any accrued and unpaid dividends, subject to a maximum conversion equal to the Volume Limit per month and subject to the Equity Conditions. The ability to require conversion requires that the Company (i) maintains such amount of cash and cash equivalents and (ii) satisfies such EBITDA threshold, in each case as is mutually determined by the Company and Silicon Valley Bank and reasonably acceptable to Hale Capital. If the Company cannot convert the Preferred Stock due to its failure to satisfy the conditions, then it may redeem the same number of shares for cash at the same price subject to agreement of the Holder.
Upon certain triggering events, such as bankruptcy, insolvency or a material adverse effect or failure of the Company to issue shares upon conversion of the Preferred Stock in accordance with its obligations, the Holders may require the Company to redeem all or some of the Preferred Stock at a price equal to 100% of the conversion amount, and in certain events, the higher trading price of the Company's common stock underlying the Preferred Stock between the date of the redemption notice and redemption, plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
On or after September 30, 2016, each Holder can require the Company to redeem its Preferred Stock in cash at a price equal to 100% of the conversion amount being redeemed plus accrued and unpaid dividends.
Silicon Valley Bank Line of Credit
We have a revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank, or SVB. We originally entered into the Loan and Security Agreement and related agreements for the revolving line in May 2009. In March 2011, we entered into an additional Loan and Security Agreement (EX-IM Loan Facility) and related agreements with SVB, pursuant to which a portion of the revolving line (the “EX-IM Line”) is guaranteed by the Export-Import Bank of the United States, and Adept is able to borrow against foreign accounts receivable and export-related inventory. The loan documents have been amended in previous quarters.
The revolving line of credit (including the EX-IM Line) matures on March 25, 2013 and we are currently seeking to negotiate a replacement line of credit. All borrowings bear interest at the prime rate announced from time to time by SVB plus 1.75%. Our maximum aggregate borrowing availability under the revolving line of credit is $10 million. We may borrow up to the lesser of $10 million or 80% of our eligible domestic accounts receivable, and up to the lesser of $8 million or the borrowing base calculated by applying specified advance rates to our eligible foreign accounts receivable and inventory destined for export from the United States. The loan documents specify the criteria for determining eligible domestic and foreign accounts receivable and eligible inventory destined for export. Adept and certain subsidiaries have granted SVB a security interest in substantially all of their respective assets (including certain shares of subsidiaries) to secure the obligations outstanding under the revolving line, and under any separate bank service agreements that may be entered into by Adept and SVB covering foreign exchange contracts, cash management services or letters of credit.
We must meet certain financial covenants under the loan documents. The loan documents require us to maintain (a) liquidity (domestic cash plus the available domestic borrowing base, measured monthly) of at least $5 million, and (b) minimum aggregate rolling six-month EBITDA (measured at the end of each fiscal quarter for the six months ending on such date and applying a definition of EBITDA specified in the Loan and Security Agreement) equal to or exceeding specified amounts for each quarter. These quarterly EBITDA amounts are minimum amounts for financial covenant purposes only, and do not represent projections of Adept's financial results.
We also must remain in compliance with various other loan covenants, and Adept's ability to make borrowings is subject to ongoing conditions precedent. These provisions, as well as circumstances under which Adept would be deemed to be in default under the loan documents and the fees payable by Adept in connection with the revolving line, are described in further detail under Liquidity and Capital Resources in Adept's Annual Report on Form 10-K filed September 24, 2012.
During the second quarter, we repaid the remaining outstanding loan balance under the revolving line of credit. As of December 29, 2012, we did not meet the financial covenant requiring us to maintain minimum aggregate rolling six-month EBITDA. We have entered into a forbearance agreement with SVB in which SVB agreed not to exercise its default-related rights and remedies with respect to this financial covenant default through March 2, 2013, during which period Adept is not able to borrow funds under the credit line. We were in compliance with the covenants in the loan documents as of June 30, 2012. At December 29, 2012, we had no outstanding principal balance under the revolving line.
Liquidity: We do not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as defined in Item 303(a)(4)(ii) of Securities and Exchange Commission Regulation S-K, and believe our cash and cash equivalents, will provide us with sufficient liquidity for at least the next 12 months. However, current cash resources are limited, and we expect to manage cash carefully in the near term to fund
25
our operating requirements, We also plan to renew, renegotiate or replace our existing line of credit facility with a new working capital line.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
We are a "smaller reporting company" as defined by Regulation S-K and as such, we are not required to provide the information contained in this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the fiscal quarter ended December 29, 2012, Adept carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of members of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Adept's disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our CEO and our CFO have concluded based on this evaluation, that as of December 29, 2012, Adept's disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the end of the fiscal quarter to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Adept’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process, including policies and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. For purposes of issuing its management report in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, to conclude that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of such fiscal year end, the Company’s management assessed our internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption from such requirement.
A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met under all potential conditions, regardless of how remote, and may not prevent or detect all error and all fraud. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Adept have been prevented or detected. Our internal control over financial reporting is designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles.
Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting
In connection with our continued monitoring and maintenance of our controls procedures as part of the implementation of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we continue to review and improve the effectiveness of our internal controls. There have been no other changes in Adept’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the quarter ended December 29, 2012, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Adept’s internal control over financial reporting.
PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
From time to time, we are party to various legal proceedings or claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We have reviewed pending legal matters and believe that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.
We have in the past received communications from third parties asserting that we have infringed certain patents and other intellectual property rights of others, or seeking indemnification against alleged infringement. While it is not feasible to predict or determine
26
the likelihood or outcome of any actual or potential actions from such assertions against us or other matters, we believe the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
ITEM 1A. | RISK FACTORS |
Before deciding to purchase, hold or sell our common stock, you should carefully consider the cautionary statements and risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2012, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 24, 2012, and the updated risk factors included below.
Our restructuring efforts may not be effective, might have unintended consequences, and could negatively impact our business.
From time to time, we have restructured our operations in response to changes in the economic environment, our industry and demand. We commenced a restructuring program in the second quarter of fiscal 2012 to streamline operations, consolidate facilities, and complete a reduction in force. In connection with this restructuring program, Adept is reviewing and aligning its strategic priorities and rebalancing its investment in its businesses to maintain sufficient liquidity with renewed emphasis in its core competencies and prioritization of a focused growth initiative to selectively develop market-driven products and maintain the high level of performance expected by our customers. To lower our operating costs during fiscal 2011, we implemented organizational improvements designed to reduce our ongoing costs, which included office consolidation, reorganization and streamlining of our North American operations, and incurred related restructuring expenses. During fiscal 2012, we consolidated our Denmark operations from our InMoTx acquisition into our existing facilities and operations, for which we have incurred restructuring expenses in fiscal 2012. In fiscal year 2013, in response to a persistent decline in demand broadly experienced across the Company's target markets, we continued efforts to lower our operating costs and implemented a restructuring including a reduction of work force, streamlining operations, eliminating duplicate functions and non-essential administrative services. Despite our efforts to structure the company and business to operate in a cost-effective manner while adequately facing competitive pressures and fulfilling customer needs, some cost-cutting measures could have unexpected negative consequences. While our restructuring efforts reduced our costs, we cannot be certain that all restructuring efforts will be successful, or that we will not be required to implement additional restructuring activities in the future. If we are unable to structure our operations effectively or if we face costly termination claims, our operations and prospects could be harmed.
We have experienced operating losses and negative cash flow in the past, and have limited liquid resources, which could impair our ability to invest in growth and adversely affect our operations.
We have experienced operating losses and negative cash flow, and if our projected revenue fails to increase or our expenses exceed current expectations, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities, adequately respond to competitive pressures or fully execute our business plan. In June 2012, we raised approximately $3.1 million in connection with our public offering of common stock, and in September 2012, we raised approximately $7.6 million of net proceeds, after estimated expenses, in connection with our preferred stock financing. While these financings have increased our cash resources and allowed us to pay off our outstanding principal balance under our line of credit which was $5.5 million at June 30, 2012, though we are under no restrictions at this time regarding transferring cash from our foreign operations to our U.S. operations, regulatory restrictions impeding our ability to transfer foreign cash reserves may occur in the future, and we may have limited access to a portion of those existing cash balances. We depend on the cash raised from our recent financings and funds generated from operating activities to meet our operating requirements and execute our growth plan, and have also historically relied on our line of credit which is not currently available for borrowing and expires in March 2013. Our preferred stock entitles the holders thereof to quarterly dividends at a fluctuating rate of up to 4%, provides for certain elective installment payments in cash or stock subject to certain equity conditions, and is redeemable in 2016 and upon certain trigger events. We do not anticipate paying any dividends on our common stock. If we are unable to obtain and maintain sufficient capital on favorable terms, it could undermine our flexibility to pursue additional expansion opportunities and could limit the working capital available to our business, harming our operating results.
Our international operations and reliance on foreign suppliers subject us to risks outside of our control that may harm our operating results.
We have significant operations outside the United States, including a presence in Asia. Additionally, a substantial majority of our revenue is derived from non-U.S. sales: international sales represented 71% in the first half of fiscal 2013, and 72% and 71% of revenues for fiscal 2012 and fiscal 2011, respectively. We expect that revenue from our international sales and operations will continue to account for a significant portion of our total revenue. We also purchase some critical components from, and increasingly rely upon, foreign suppliers. As a result, our operating results are subject to the risks inherent in international sales, purchases, and operations which include:
• | difficulties coordinating operations subject to differing regulatory regimes; |
27
• | unexpected changes in regulatory requirements; |
• | political, military, and economic instability or turmoil and extraordinary disruptions; |
• | restrictive governmental actions, such as tariff regulations and other trade barriers; |
• | transportation costs and delays; |
• | stringent local jurisdictional requirements favoring local business and organized labor considerations; |
• | longer payment cycles and greater difficulty collecting accounts receivables from foreign jurisdictions; |
• | potentially adverse tax rates, tax treatment of our intercompany transactions and consequences; and |
• | difficulty in obtaining appropriate personnel. |
We face exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, as a significant portion of our revenues, expenses, assets, and liabilities are denominated in foreign currencies. Additionally, we make foreign currency-denominated purchases from some foreign suppliers, and thus remain subject to the transaction exposures that arise from foreign exchange movements between the date that the transactions are recorded and the date cash is paid. Continued fluctuations in foreign currencies could negatively impact our business.
As we are subject to the regulatory regimes of numerous governments, we must ensure that our operations comply with all applicable geographic requirements, including changing requirements affecting our business, and business and tax audits, by foreign authorities, the results of which cannot be assessed as to the amount of financial or operational exposure at this time.
In early 2011, we opened a facility in Shanghai, China to capitalize on opportunities presented by the Asian markets. We face all the risks inherent in operating in a foreign emerging market where we have not previously operated a facility. Our China-based activities are subject to greater political, regulatory, legal and economic risks than those faced by other operations. There can be no assurance that we will be successful in our operations in China.
The growth of our business depends upon the development and successful commercial acceptance of our new products.
Our failure to develop, manufacture, and sell new products in quantities sufficient to offset a decline in revenue from existing products or to successfully manage product and related inventory transitions could harm our business. We depend upon a variety of factors to ensure that our new and enhanced products are successfully commercialized, including timely and efficient completion of design and development, implementation of manufacturing processes, and effective sales, marketing, and customer service. Because of the complexity of our products, significant delays may occur in introducing new products, or between a product's initial introduction and volume production.
The development and commercialization of new products involve many difficulties, including:
• | identification of new product opportunities; |
• | retention and hiring of appropriate research and development personnel; |
• | determination of the product's technical specifications; |
• | successful completion of the development process; |
• | successful marketing of the new product and achieving customer acceptance; |
• | managing inventory levels; and |
• | additional customer service and warranty costs associated with supporting new product introductions and/or effecting subsequent potential field upgrades. |
We must expend significant financial and management resources to develop new products. We cannot assure that we will receive meaningful revenue from these investments. If we are unable to continue to successfully develop new products in response to customer requirements or technological changes, or our new products are not commercially successful, our
28
business may be harmed.
Our acquisitions of MobileRobots and InMoTx expanded our business with new technologies and solutions for additional markets in fiscal 2011 and 2012, including our Adept PAC™ solutions for complex food processing and packaging applications, and mobile robotic systems, control and software for autonomous robot and AGV applications. We had little or no experience in these markets prior to the completion of these acquisitions and are unable to accurately forecast the future commercial acceptance of these additional product lines. In response to a decline in sales across our businesses beginning at the end of fiscal 2012, we have had to focus our efforts on our core competencies and sources of revenue generation and had fewer resources to invest in our new businesses which have a more extended period of introduction to, and acceptance by, customers. In connection with our restructuring, we have prioritized our focus to our core and mobile businesses and we have also altered our sales model for our packaging business to a channel focus. This may negatively impact the growth of our new businesses and revenue potentially earned from the related new product introductions.
