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. 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, 2008 included in Adept Technology, Inc.’s (“Adept” or the “Company”) Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 11, 2008.
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 revenue 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 stock plans that provide for the grant to employees of stock-based awards, including stock options and restricted shares, of Adept common stock. In addition, certain of these plans permit the grant of nonstatutory stock-based awards to paid consultants and non-employee directors. Option awards are granted with an exercise price equal to the market price of Adept’s stock on the date of grant and 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 employee stock purchase plan and four equity compensation plans currently in effect and used by Adept, including the 2001 Stock Option Plan, 2003 Stock Option Plan, 2004 Director Option Plan and 2005 Equity Incentive Plan. The 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (“1998 ESPP”) expired on September 17, 2008. A new plan, the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, was adopted by the board of directors effective September 1, 2008 and approved by stockholders at the November 7, 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. As of September 27, 2008, there were 633,400 shares available for issuance under the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. There are 261,656 shares subject to outstanding options under the 2001 Stock Option Plan with 90,921 available for grant. Under the 2003 Stock Option Plan, there are 355,000 shares subject to outstanding options with 27,640 available for grant. The 2004 Director Option Plan has 52,000 shares subject to outstanding options with 78,376 available for grant. The 2005 Equity Incentive Plan has 390,500 shares subject to outstanding options with 54,395 available for grant. Options are also outstanding pursuant to two equity compensation plans which have expired. They include the 1993 Stock Option Plan and the 1995 Director Stock Option Plan, which have, respectively, 112,414 and 6,600 shares subject to outstanding options. Under all of these plans, for employee grants, vesting is generally monthly, in equal installments over a four year period. Under the Director Option Plans, initial director grants vest one-fourth on the first anniversary of the grant, then monthly in equal installments thereafter for three years. Annual director grants vest monthly in equal installments over a four year period.
The Company accounts for stock compensation under Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 123 (Revised 2004) (“SFAS123R”),Share-Based Payment, which requires the recognition of fair value of stock compensation as an expense in the calculation of net income (loss). The Company recognizes the stock compensation expense ratably over the vesting period of the individual equity instruments. All stock compensation recorded during the three months ended September 27, 2008 has been accounted for as an equity instrument.
Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, the Company recorded $361,000 and $180,000 of stock-based compensation expense on its unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007, respectively, for its stock plans and ESPP. The Company did not record an income-tax benefit for the
6
Table of Contents
stock compensation expense because of the extent of its net operating loss carryforwards. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes valuation model for estimating the fair value of the compensation after the adoption of SFAS 123R. The weighted average grant-date fair values of the options granted under the stock option plans and shares subject to purchase under the ESPP for the three months ended September 27, 2008 was $4.53 and $2.69, respectively, using the following assumptions.
Three Months Ended September 27, 2008 | ||||||
Stock Option Plan | Purchase Plan | |||||
Average risk free interest rate | 2.12 | % | 1.97 | % | ||
Expected life (in years) | 3.21 | .50 | ||||
Expected volatility | .70 | .65 | ||||
Dividend yield | 0 | % | 0 | % |
The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends 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 subscription period. The risk-free interest rate is also based on the expected life of the options or ESPP subscription period. The expected life in years is based on the historic time to post-vesting exercise and forfeitures of the ESPP shares.
Based on its historical experience of option cancellations prior to vesting, the Company has assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 20% for its options. Under the true-up provisions of SFAS 123R, 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 September 27, 2008 and changes during the three months then ended is presented below:

Table of Contents
As of September 27, 2008, there was $1,821,979 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and awards granted and outstanding; the cost of which is expected to be recognized through fiscal year 2011, with a weighted average remaining period of 1.5 years.
During the three months ended September 27, 2008, 17,341 shares of common stock were issued under the Company’s ESPP. Shares are issued semi-annually under the ESPP, in February and August. Total common shares outstanding at September 27, 2008 were 8,136,546.
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 September 27, 2008 and June 30, 2008, the Company had no marketable securities. Fair market value is based on quoted market prices on the last trading day of the quarter. The cost of securities is based upon the specific identification method.

6. Warranties
The Company generally offers a two-year parts and one-year labor limited warranty for most of its hardware component products. The specific terms and conditions of those warranties are set forth in the Company’s “Terms and Conditions of Sale” and are published in sales catalogs and on each sales order acknowledgement. The Company estimates the costs that

may be incurred under its limited warranty, and records a liability through charges to cost of revenues at the time product revenue is recognized. Factors that affect the Company’s warranty liability include the number of installed units, historical and anticipated rates of warranty claims, and costs per claim. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary.
Changes in the Company’s warranty liability are as follows for the three month periods ending September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007:

7. Legal Proceedings
On April 14, 2008, Tri-Valley Technology Campus LLC, the landlord of Adept’s Livermore, California offices (“Landlord”) sent Adept a lease termination notice, purporting to terminate the Livermore lease 90 days following the date of such notice. The notice indicated that a termination fee of $1 million was due from Adept no later than May 13, 2008 to terminate Adept’s obligations under the lease on July 14, 2008, other than certain express obligations intended to survive termination. The Landlord subsequently delivered a new lease termination notice to Adept, indicating that the Livermore lease would terminate on August 26, 2008, and demanding payment of a $1 million termination fee no later than June 27, 2008. The notices were delivered based on the Landlord’s interpretation of a Lease Termination Agreement dated December 16, 2007 between Adept and the Landlord.
On May 30, 2008, the Landlord commenced litigation captioned Tri-Valley Campus I LLC vs. Adept Technology, Inc., Superior Court of the State of California, County of Contra Costa, Case No. C 08 04124, seeking declaratory relief in favor of its interpretation of the Lease Termination Agreement, including seeking a declaration that the terms of the Lease Termination Agreement required Adept to pay $1 million to the Landlord and to vacate the premises no later than August 26, 2008. The Landlord also sought attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the dispute. The Landlord dismissed this action on July 31, 2008.
On July 29, 2008, the Landlord filed a complaint in unlawful detainer captioned Tri-Valley Technology Campus, LLC v. Adept Technology, Inc., Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda, Case No. VG08401019, seeking to recover immediate possession of the Livermore facilities, claiming the failure to pay the termination payment constituted a breach of the lease agreement for such facilities (in addition to a breach of the Lease Termination Agreement). In addition to seeking to repossess the premises, the Landlord also sought payment of $1 million as a termination fee, the forfeiture of the lease, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 28, 2008, the court denied Adept’s August 5, 2008, Motion to Quash Plaintiff’s Unlawful Detainer Complaint or, in the Alternative, Motion to Compel Arbitration, which was opposed by the Landlord. On August 29, 2008, the Court issued an order setting trial starting September 16, 2008. On the same day, Adept appealed the Court’s denial of the motion to compel arbitration and served notice of an automatic stay of all trial court proceedings pending the appeal of the denial of the motion to compel arbitration.
On July 31, 2008, the Landlord filed a complaint captioned Tri-Valley Technology Campus, LLC v. Adept Technology, Inc., Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda, Case No. VG08401607, bringing claims for declaratory relief, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, intentional interference with contract, and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage. The Landlord seeks a declaration that the terms of the Lease Termination Agreement required Adept to pay $1 million to the landlord and to vacate the premises no later than August 26, 2008, damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs. Among other things, the Landlord alleged that the Landlord was required to deliver possession of the Livermore facilities to its new tenant, Comcast, no later than September 1, 2008, that Adept’s continued presence at the Livermore facilities prevented the landlord from delivering possession of the premises to Comcast by September 1, 2008, and sought damages and punitive damages, including but not limited to the value of the 13-year lease with Comcast. On September 2, 2008, Adept moved to compel arbitration of this dispute. The motion to compel arbitration was scheduled to be heard on October 31, 2008.

Table of Contents
On October 16, 2008, Adept entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with Tri-Valley Technology Campus, LLC providing for the termination of the pending disputes described above. The Settlement Agreement provides for payments totaling $500,000 to be made by Adept to Tri-Valley, with half of such amount paid upon execution of the Settlement Agreement and for the remaining $250,000 to be paid into escrow upon Adept’s vacating the Livermore facilities, but no later than February 3, 2009, and to be released after dismissal by Tri-Valley of its pending litigation against Adept. The releases of claims relating to the dispute contemplated by the Settlement Agreement are to be effective after the two payments are made, the pending litigation actions are dismissed by Tri-Valley, and Adept has vacated the Livermore facilities.
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 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, 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.
8. 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 no provision for income taxes for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and $331,000 for three months ended September 29, 2007. No provision is recorded for the period ended September 27, 2008 primarily due to the losses incurred by the Company in the period. The tax provision for the period ended September 29, 2007 was comprised of miscellaneous state income tax, foreign tax on the income of certain foreign subsidiaries and a reversal of a foreign deferred tax asset.
In compliance with Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) Interpretation No. 48,Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes – an interpretation of FASB Statement No. 109 (“FIN 48”), the Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $7.3 million as of June 30, 2008 and the unrecognized tax benefit has not increased or decreased during the quarter ended September 27, 2008. Approximately $7.2 million of the unrecognized tax benefit has been offset by a full valuation allowance. If all of these unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, approximately $160,000 would impact the income tax expense. 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 1995 to 2007 remain open to examination by the U.S. and state tax authorities, and the tax years 2002 to 2007 remain open to examination by the foreign tax authorities.
In the current quarter, the German tax authorities began a tax audit of the Company’s German subsidiary for the return years 2004 to 2006. At this time, the German tax audit has not sufficiently progressed to the point of completion to determine if any areas of disagreement exist with amounts reported on German income tax returns for the tax years under audit.
It is the Company’s policy to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. During the quarter ended September 27, 2008, the Company recorded no interest or penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

10. Segment Information
SFAS No. 131,Disclosures about Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information, requires disclosures of certain information regarding operating segments, products and services, geographic areas of operation and major customers. SFAS No. 131 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 provides intelligent robotics systems for assembly and material handling applications under two categories: (1) Robotics and (2) Services and Support.
The Robotics segment provides intelligent production automation software and hardware component products externally to customers.
The Services and Support segment provides support services to customers including: supplies of spare parts and remanufactured and new direct drive robots; providing information regarding the use of the Company’s automation equipment; assisting with the 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 profit. Segment profit is comprised of income before unallocated research, development and engineering expenses, unallocated general and administrative expenses, interest income, and interest and other expenses.
Management does not fully allocate research, development and engineering expenses and 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.

11. Foreign Currency Translation
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 losses were $586,083 for the three months ended September 27, 2008, and $25,364 for the three months ended September 29, 2007, and are included in the Statements of Operations.

Table of Contents
The foreign currency transaction losses recorded in the period ending September 27, 2008 were primarily unrealized losses from the strengthening of the US dollar versus the Euro for non-permanent inter-company debt denominated in US dollars.
12. Restructuring Charges
At the end of June 2007, the Company executed a restructuring plan which involved closure of facilities in Quebec, Canada, Connecticut and a portion of Adept’s Livermore, California facility. Any remaining work at these facilities was either outsourced or absorbed within the Livermore facility. Lease termination costs related to the Quebec facility and the Connecticut facility of $246,000 were expensed and paid in the first quarter of fiscal 2008. Additionally, a reduction in force was made of approximately 34 employees, located primarily in Canada and the United States.
Following the reduction in headcount and production activities as a result of the 2007 restructuring, the Company sought, but was unable to secure, a termination of the lease for its Livermore facility with the then-current landlord. In October 2008, as part of the Settlement Agreement discussed in note 7 above, the Company negotiated a termination of its lease with the new landlord. Consequently, the restructuring liability that previously had been booked was now substantially eliminated, and the Company recorded a credit to restructuring of $596,000 in the first quarter of 2009 to reduce the lease liability to its revised estimated amount.
The following table summarizes the activity in Adept’s accrued restructuring charges during the quarter ending September 27, 2008.

13.Acquisition
On January 2, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), the Company acquired 100 percent of the outstanding common shares of Cerebellum Automation SAS (“Cerebellum”). The results of Cerebellum’s operations have been included in the consolidated financial statements since that date. Cerebellum, based in France, is a provider of Custom Robotics and Motion Control products and components.
The initial purchase price paid at closing, excluding all items tied to retention compensation, totaled $732,971. This includes an initial cash payment of $350,000, accrued liabilities of $297,500 due within one year and direct acquisition costs of $85,471. The payment of additional contingent deferred cash consideration of $32,500 in cash and $167,500 payable in shares of common stock of the Company is payable on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, provided that certain employees remain employed by Cerebellum, and is being amortized monthly through January 2, 2009. Additional contingent consideration of $65,000 in cash and $385,000 payable in shares of common stock of the Company may be paid on the second anniversary, provided that certain employees remain employed by Cerebellum, and will be amortized monthly during the second year following the acquisition (months 13 to 24). Additionally, there are contingent amounts payable up to a maximum aggregate amount of €312,000 in common stock of the Company based on Cerebellum’s meeting of certain revenue milestones in each of the first and second years after the Effective Date. The contingent payments will be added to Goodwill if milestones are achieved. All common stock references as payments in this acquisition are calculated based on the 30 day average share price of the Company prior to the payment date.
14. Subsequent Event
Adept has been engaged in litigation with Tri-Valley Technology Campus, LLC, the landlord of its Livermore, California offices, relating to a lease termination agreement with respect to such Livermore facilities occupied by Adept. On October 16, 2008, Adept entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with Tri-Valley Technology Campus, LLC providing for the termination of the pending dispute, referred to as the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement provides for payments totaling $500,000 to be made by Adept to Tri-Valley, with half of such amount paid upon execution of the
13
Table of Contents
Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement provides for the remaining $250,000 to be paid into escrow upon Adept’s vacating the Livermore facilities, but no later than February 3, 2009, and to be released after dismissal by Tri-Valley of its pending litigation against Adept. The releases of claims relating to the dispute contemplated by the Settlement Agreement are to be effective after the two payments are made, the pending litigation actions are dismissed by Tri-Valley, and Adept has vacated the Livermore facilities.
Adept has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to vacate the Livermore facilities by December 31, 2008. Adept will continue to pay rent as provided under the lease while it continues to occupy the Livermore facilities, with payment of double rent on a per diem basis from January 1, 2009, if Adept still occupies the Livermore property at that time, and provides Tri-Valley the right to possession of the properties on February 1, 2009.
On October 16, 2008, Adept entered into two new leases to relocate its principal executive offices and Livermore, California research and manufacturing operations in Pleasanton, California. The first lease agreement, entered into as of October 10, 2008, is with Park Lake Apartments, L.P., a California limited partnership, 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 and an option to extend for an additional five-year period. Annual rent payments are $690,826 initially, subject to a 3% annual increase.
The second lease agreement, also entered into as of October 10, 2008, is with W Group Holding III LLC, a California limited liability company, and RASAP Franklin, LLC, a California limited liability company, for premises of 23,027 square feet and a right of first offer on 12,000 additional square feet located in Pleasanton, California near the location of the first lease, for a term of seven years, with an option to extend for one additional five-year period, for initial annual rent of $414,486, subject to a 3% annual increase.
On November 7, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a restructuring plan to reduce the operating costs and further respond to the economic environment faced by its customers and business. The restructuring plan involves various measures, including:
• | A reduction in force including termination of approximately 8% of total employees and the determination not to fill certain additional open positions, including senior management positions; |
• | Consolidation of facilities and certain geographically dispersed administrative functions, and closure of facilities in Canada and North Carolina; |
• | Outsourcing non-core functions, including global IT support for certain functions; |
• | Phase out of certain legacy products including certain remanufactured robots; |
• | Consolidation of certain functions within Service and Quality under Operations; |
Communications to affected employees were made by November 10, 2008. The Company expects that these restructuring activities will be completed by the end of the second quarter of fiscal 2009.

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 or third parties’ robot mechanisms. Our vision-guidance technology is tightly integrated with our motion controls technology, and this is a key differentiator for Adept. In addition, we provide a full complement of robotics services and support for both our own customers. Through sales to system integrators, original equipment manufacturer (“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. Our growth strategy focuses on four global vertical markets: packaging, solar, medical and disk drive/electronics, as well as on traditional industrial markets in Europe, including automotive electronics and machine tool automation. We believe these markets represent significant opportunity over the next several years for growth and product differentiation.
This discussion summarizes the significant factors affecting our consolidated operating results, financial condition, liquidity and cash flow during the three-month period ended September 27, 2008. Unless otherwise indicated, references to any quarter in this Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations refer to our fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2008. This discussion should be read with the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K as filed with the SEC on September 11, 2008.
Growth Strategy
Over the past few years we have executed a growth strategy that focuses on a few vertical markets where the use of automation is growing or is expected to grow. The markets we have selected are: packaging, solar, medical and disk drive/electronics. Currently, we are focusing the majority of our investments on opportunities in the global packaging market and on the emerging solar market, as we believe these industries offer significant opportunity in both the near and long term. In addition, we have continued our traditional focus on the automotive and industrial markets in Germany, which have remained robust even as similar industries in the U.S. have declined.
Because much of the demand for our products in recent periods has come from Europe, over the past several quarters we have also intensified our efforts to strengthen our operational and sales capabilities in this region. We believe Europe will continue to be an important market for our products both in traditional sectors such as automotive electronics and in our target vertical markets, particularly packaging and solar.
To better address the needs of the packaging and solar markets, in fiscal 2007 we introduced an important new robot to our portfolio, Quattro, which offers industry leading speed and performance for high speed automation applications. The Quattro robot is a unique kinematic licensed exclusively to Adept and covered under patent protection in Adept’s key geographic markets. Additionally, in May 2008, we introduced a new inverted SCARA robot, the Adept Cobra s800, to address applications in the packaging market such as mechanical assembly, material handling and packaging of packaged goods. In October 2008, we completed the prototype of our Eclipse software system for solar cell inspection.

Recent Events
As a result of our strategy, the composition of our sales has shifted to include a higher proportion of revenues from our target vertical markets, as well as a higher proportion of revenues from Europe than from the United States and Asia. However, during the first quarter of 2009, it became apparent that our solar products are not being absorbed into our customers’ manufacturing lines as quickly as we had anticipated. Cycles of investment and absorption are common in the solar manufacturing industry, and we believe that such cycles provide opportunity for manufacturers to revisit their automation requirements and plan for the integration of new solutions. In general, we believe such cycles are beneficial to Adept, as it makes it easier for customers to initiate significant changes in their automation programs. However, we believe solar cell manufacturers will experience a slowdown as they adjust to changes in global demand, and our growth in the solar market will therefore be slower than expected for the next few quarters.
The recent escalation of economic uncertainty worldwide has also created a cautionary environment for us and for our customers. While we currently expect our business to remain relatively stable, we do not yet know to what extent problems in the worldwide economy may affect our customers or their purchasing decisions and payment practices and expect revenue to be flat or lower than fiscal 2008 and earnings to reflect this revenue trend. Additionally, the recent weakening of the Euro, if continued, is likely to have a negative impact on our revenues, as approximately half of our sales are invoiced in Euros but reported in U.S. dollars.
Restructuring Actions
In response to economic uncertainty and the more cautious outlook of our customers, we are taking steps to restructure our business in our non-core initiatives to reduce operating expense, which is taking effect in the second quarter of 2009. These steps include reducing headcount including senior management positions, consolidating facilities and facility closures in Canada and North Carolina, additional outsourcing of certain functions and phase out of certain remanufactured robots. The Company expects to incur material charges during the second quarter in connection with these restructuring actions, but to reduce the quarterly operating expense.
At the end of fiscal 2007, we initiated a restructuring program to reduce facility and headcount costs, consolidate development activities at fewer locations and realign our U.S. sales resources around our target vertical markets. As a consequence, we have reduced our quarterly expense rate, which we believe, with our new 2009 restructuring activities, will continue to have a positive effect on our operations throughout fiscal 2009 and which we believe will help us to achieve and maintain profitability in the future. However, our restructuring actions may not completely offset expected revenue trends for fiscal 2009.
Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of our financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States requires us to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. We believe that the judgments, assumptions and estimates upon which we rely are reasonable based upon information available to us at the time that these judgments, assumptions and estimates are made. However, any differences between these judgments, assumptions and estimates and actual results could have a material impact on our statement of operations and financial condition. The accounting policies that reflect our most significant judgments, assumptions and estimates and which we believe are critical in understanding and evaluating our reported financial results include: revenue recognition; allowance for doubtful accounts; inventories; warranties; capitalization of software development costs; deferred tax valuation allowance; foreign currently translation gain (loss); long-lived assets and goodwill; and valuation of stock-based awards. There have been no material changes in our critical accounting policies and critical accounting estimates as disclosed in Part II, Item 7 of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2008.

Revenues were $14.3 million for the three months ended September 27, 2008, an increase of 5% compared to $13.7 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007. This increase resulted from increased sales in our Robotics product segment, offset by decreased sales in our Services and Support segment.
Robotics segment revenues, which result from the sale of our intelligent robotics systems, vision-guidance technology and/or third party robot mechanisms, were $10.9 million for the three months ended September 27, 2008, up 12% from $9.7 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007. Higher robotics revenues were primarily the result of strong sales of our Viper, Cobra and Quattro robots in Europe for applications in the packaging market and higher sales in Asia of our robot systems into the disk drive market.
Services and Support revenues, which result from the sale of robotics services and support as well as remanufactured robot systems, were $3.4 million for the three months ended September 27, 2008, down 13% from $3.9 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007. The decrease was due to lower sales of remanufactured robotics to disk drive and consumer electronics manufacturers in the U.S. and Asia.

Table of Contents
Our domestic sales were $4.2 million for the three months ended September 27, 2008, down 22% compared to $5.4 million for the three months ended September 29, 2007. This decrease reflects reduced sales of both new robotic systems and refurbished robots to the disk drive market, offset by increased sales of our Quattro robots for applications in the packaging market.
Total international sales were $10.1 million in the three months ended September 27, 2008, up 22% compared to $8.3 million in the three months ended September 29, 2007. This increase was primarily driven by higher sales in France, where we continue to experience strong demand for our products in the packaging market, and higher sales in Asia, where we received our first orders in several quarters for new robotic systems for the disk drive industry. Orders from the German solar market were lower than expected in the first quarter, as solar cell manufacturers have taken longer than anticipated to absorb our products into their manufacturing lines.
Gross Margin. Summary information on gross margin for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and September 29, 2007 is as follows:
Three Months ended September 27, 2008 | Three Months ended September 29, 2007 | % Change | |||||||||

Gross margin | 6,609 | 7,303 | (10 | %) | |||||||
Gross margin % | 46.2 | % | 53.5 | % |
Gross margin as a percentage of revenues was 46.2% for the three months ended September 27, 2008, compared to 53.5% for the three months ended September 29, 2007. Lower gross margin in the first quarter of 2009 compared with the prior year period resulted from a less favorable mix of products sold and the recognition of software license revenue in the first quarter of 2008 which accounted for an incremental two percentage points of gross margin in that quarter. We expect that gross margin in future periods may be negatively affected by the continued weakening of the Euro against the U.S. dollar, as a significant portion of our revenues are in Euros. We also expect that gross margin in future periods will be positively affected by cost reductions in some of our products, which will begin to take effect in the second quarter of fiscal 2009. Based on current currency valuations, the net effect for fiscal 2009 of these trends is expected to be a slight decrease to our gross margin from the first quarter.
We may experience significant fluctuations in our gross margin percentage from period to period due to changes in volume, changes in availability of components, changes in product configuration, increased price-based competition, changes in sales mix of products and/or changes in operating costs.

Research, development and engineering (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred, with the exception of software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility and up to the general release of the software products which are capitalized. 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 September 27, 2008 were $1.4 million, or 10% of revenues, up 4% from $1.3 million, or 10% of revenues for the three months ended September 29, 2007. R&D expenses in the first quarter of 2009 include incremental expenses from Cerebellum, which Adept acquired during the third quarter of 2008.

Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, professional fees arising from legal, auditing and other consulting services, as well as tradeshow participation and other marketing costs.
SG&A expenses were $6.8 million, or 47% of revenues, for the three months ended September 27, 2008, up 32% from $5.1 million, representing 38% of revenues for the three months ended September 29, 2007. The increase in SG&A in the first quarter of 2009 resulted from $1.1 million in lease settlement and related legal fees, incremental expense from our acquisition of Cerebellum in the third quarter of 2008, and increased expenses related to additional marketing activities in Europe around the solar market opportunity. We expect that fixed SG&A expenses paid in Euros will be slightly lower in the second quarter of fiscal 2009, based on current trends of a weakening Euro versus the U.S. dollar.
Amortization. $90,000 was expensed for the amortization of intangible assets in the three months ended September 27, 2008, compared with $19,000 in the three months ended September 29, 2007.
Stock Compensation Expense. Under the provisions of SFAS 123R, we recorded $361,000 for stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended September 27, 2008 and $180,000 for the three months ended September 29, 2007 for our stock option plans, ESPP and restricted stock grants. Higher stock-based compensation expense in the first quarter of 2009 reflects accounting for new restricted stock grants made to the Company executives in September 2008. We did not record an income-tax benefit for the stock compensation expense in either period because of the extent of our net operating loss carry forwards.
Restructuring. For the three months ended September 27, 2008, we recorded a credit to restructuring of $596,000 for the reversal of a restructuring reserve related to a lease that is being terminated. For the three months ended September 29, 2007, we recorded restructuring expenses of $251,000 as a result of our previously disclosed restructuring program initiated at the end of fiscal 2007.
Interest Income (Expense), Net. We recorded interest income, net of $43,000 for the three months ended September 27, 2008 compared with interest income, net of $100,000 for the three months ended September 29, 2007.
Foreign Currency Exchange Gain (Loss). 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 losses were $586,000 for the three months ended September 27, 2008, and $25,000 for the three months ended September 29, 2007, and are included in the Statements of Operations.
The foreign currency transaction losses recorded in the period ending September 27, 2008 were primarily unrealized losses from the strengthening of the US dollar versus the Euro for non-permanent inter-company debt denominated in US dollars.
Provision for Income Taxes. The Company 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.
We did not record a tax provision or benefit for the three months ended September 27, 2008 due to the pre-tax loss position of the Company and its subsidiaries. We recorded a tax provision of $331,000 for the three months ended September 29, 2007, which related both to an adjustment of a previously recorded tax asset for our French subsidiary and income tax related to first quarter German subsidiary income not fully offset by previously incurred net operating losses in that jurisdiction. We have net operating losses which are sufficient to offset a significant portion of our domestic and foreign tax obligations.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
Cash and cash equivalents decreased $2.9 million from June 30, 2008 to $12.3 million at September 27, 2008. Net cash used in operating activities of $3.3 million was mainly attributable to net a loss of $1.6 million reduced by non-cash charges, including depreciation and amortization of $409,000, and stock-related compensation charges of $361,000. Other uses of cash in operating activities are an increase in accounts receivable of $1.6 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $619,000, and a decrease in accrued liabilities and restructuring of $255,000.
Cash used in investing activities of $143,000 includes capital expenditures of $30,000 for purchases of demonstration equipment and equipment used in the assembly and testing of our products, and capitalized software development costs of $113,000.
Cash provided by financing activities of $13,000 reflects proceeds of $94,000 from the purchase of stock through our employee stock purchase program, offset by total cash payments of $42,000 for the Company’s repurchase of common stock and cash payments of $39,000 for capital leases.
Liquidity and Capital Resources Requirements. We believe our existing cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to meet our cash requirements through the next 12 months. However, we may elect to use additional funding prior to that time to fund our future capital requirements, depending on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the impact of our restructuring activities, the timing and extent of spending to support product development efforts, expansion of sales, marketing and support operations and any acquisitions activity.
In the three months ended September 27, 2008, the Company’s credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank expired by its terms and was not renewed by Adept. We are currently looking at other credit facility options for the Company, but can not make any assurances that we will obtain a new credit facility on acceptable terms.
On January 2, 2008 (the “Effective Date”), the Company acquired Cerebellum. As provided in the purchase agreement, the payment of additional contingent deferred cash consideration of up to $32,500 in cash and $167,500 payable in shares of common stock of the Company based upon the average value of Adept common stock for the 30 days prior to payment is payable on the first anniversary of the Effective Date, provided that certain employees remain employed by Cerebellum, and is being amortized monthly from the Effective Date through January 2, 2009. Additional contingent consideration of $65,000 in cash and $385,000 payable in shares of Adept common stock may be paid on the second anniversary, provided that certain employees remain employed by Cerebellum, and will be amortized monthly during the second year following the acquisition (months 13 to 24). Additionally, there are contingent amounts payable up to a maximum aggregate amount of €312,000 in common stock based upon the average value of Adept common stock for the 30 days prior to payment based on Cerebellum’s meeting of certain revenue milestones in each of the first and second years after the Effective Date.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The Board of Directors did not authorize any additional shares to be issued pursuant to the 1998 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (other than the shares previously authorized for issuance under such plan which expired in 2008). Effective September 1, 2008, the Board of Directors adopted the 2008 Employee Stock Purchase Plan (the “2008 ESPP”) which has overlapping 24-month offering periods that begin every six months, starting on the first trading day on or after September 1 and March 1 of each year. Each 24-month offering period is divided into two six-month purchase periods. For every six-month purchase period, the plan allows eligible employees, through payroll deductions of a maximum of 15% of individual salary, to purchase up to a maximum of 1,200 shares of the Company’s common stock at 85% of fair market value on either the first day of the offering period or the last day of the purchase period, whichever is lower. The 2008 ESPP was approved by Adept’s stockholders at the 2008 Annual Meeting of Stockholders on November 7, 2008.
Stock Repurchase Program
On September 2, 2008, the Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program for up to $2.5 million of Adept stock effective immediately. During the three months ended September 27, 2008, we repurchased 5,122 shares of our common stock on the open market for a total cost of $41,683. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including the stock price, corporate and contractual and regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other market and economic conditions. Adept has funded and expects to fund its purchases from its working capital. The Company has no obligation to purchase a specific amount of common stock, and the stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. Given the recent downturn in the macroeconomic environment, the Company is focused on preserving cash in the near term. The Company will reevaluate its working capital from time to time to determine if purchases will be made in the future.

New Accounting Pronouncements
In December 2007, FASB issued SFAS No. 141 (revised 2007),Business Combinations(“SFAS No. 141(R)”). Under SFAS No. 141(R), an entity is required to recognize the assets acquired, liabilities assumed, contractual contingencies, and contingent consideration at their fair value on the acquisition date. It further requires that acquisition-related costs be recognized separately from the acquisition and expensed as incurred, restructuring costs generally be expensed in periods subsequent to the acquisition date, and changes in accounting for deferred tax asset valuation allowances and acquired income tax uncertainties after the measurement period impact income tax expense. In addition, acquired in-process research and development (IPR&D) is capitalized as an intangible asset and amortized over its estimated useful life. The adoption of SFAS No. 141(R) will change our accounting treatment for business combinations entered into after the first quarter of fiscal year 2009.
In December 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 160,Noncontrolling Interests in Consolidated Financial Statements, an amendment of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 51. SFAS No. 160 will change the accounting and reporting for minority interests, which will be recharacterized as noncontrolling interests and classified as a component of equity. SFAS No. 160 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2008. Early adoption is not permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact that SFAS No. 160 will have on our consolidated financial statements.
Contractual Obligations
A summary of our contractual obligations as of September 27, 2008 follows:
Payment due by period | |||||||||||||||
Total | Less Than 1 Year | Years 2 and 3 | Years 4 and 5 | More than 5 Years | |||||||||||
Operating lease obligations | $ | 10,564 | $ | 1,884 | $ | 3,019 | $ | 2,725 | $ | 2,936 | |||||
Capital lease obligations | 168 | 132 | 24 | 12 | — | ||||||||||
Purchase obligations | 17,759 | 17,759 | — | — | — | ||||||||||
Long-term debt obligations | 192 | 42 | 94 | 56 | — | ||||||||||
Total | $ | 28,683 | $ | 19,817 | $ | 3,137 | $ | 2,793 | $ | 2,936 | |||||
Operating leases primarily represent commitments for facilities, along with lesser obligations for office equipment and motor vehicles. Purchase obligations are in the form of purchase orders, generally for custom components and sub-assemblies. These purchase orders typically cannot be cancelled without penalty. Penalties may range up to 30% of the canceled order, but cancellations are not common and the usual practice is to reschedule delivery dates if adjustment is needed.
ITEM 3. | QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK |
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio. We maintain an investment policy that seeks to ensure the safety and preservation of our invested funds by limiting default risk, market risk and reinvestment risk. The table below presents principal cash amounts and related weighted-average interest rates for our investment portfolio, all of which matures in less than 12 months.
(in thousands) | September 27, 2008 | Fair Value | ||||||
Cash and cash equivalents | $ | 12,277 | $ | 12,277 | ||||
Average rate | 1.39 | % | 1.39 | % |
We mitigate default risk by investing in high credit quality securities and by positioning our portfolio to respond appropriately to a significant reduction in a credit rating of any investment issuer or guarantor. Our portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity and contains what management believes to be a prudent amount of diversification.

We conduct business on a global basis. Consequently, 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 the Company. We have historically employed, but do not currently employ, a currency hedging strategy.
ITEM 4. | CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES |
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
As of the end of the fiscal quarter ended September 27, 2008, 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 that Adept’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the end of the fiscal quarter to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act 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.
The Company’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). For purposes of issuing its management report for the year ended June 30, 2008 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 (“COSO”).
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
There have not been any changes in the Company’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 September 27, 2008 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Adept’s internal control over financial reporting. Prior to the first quarter, Adept completed procedures to achieve Sarbanes-Oxley 404 compliance, which were tested during and since the fourth quarter of 2008.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. | LEGAL PROCEEDINGS |
On April 14, 2008, Tri-Valley Technology Campus LLC, the landlord of Adept’s Livermore, California offices (“Landlord”) sent Adept a lease termination notice, purporting to terminate the Livermore lease 90 days following the date of such notice. The notice indicated that a termination fee of $1 million was due from Adept no later than May 13, 2008 to terminate Adept’s obligations under the lease on July 14, 2008, other than certain express obligations intended to survive termination. The Landlord subsequently delivered a new lease termination notice to Adept, indicating that the Livermore lease would terminate on August 26, 2008, and demanding payment of a $1 million termination fee no later than June 27, 2008. The notices were delivered based on the Landlord’s interpretation of a Lease Termination Agreement dated December 16, 2007 between Adept and the Landlord.
On May 30, 2008, the Landlord commenced litigation captioned Tri-Valley Campus I LLC vs. Adept Technology, Inc., Superior Court of the State of California, County of Contra Costa, Case No. C 08 04124, seeking declaratory relief in favor of its interpretation of the Lease Termination Agreement, including seeking a declaration that the terms of the Lease Termination Agreement required Adept to pay $1 million to the Landlord and to vacate the premises no later than August 26, 2008. The Landlord also sought attorneys’ fees and costs in connection with the dispute. The Landlord dismissed this action on July 31, 2008.
On July 29, 2008, the Landlord filed a complaint in unlawful detainer captioned Tri-Valley Technology Campus, LLC v. Adept Technology, Inc., Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda, Case No. VG08401019, seeking to recover immediate possession of the Livermore facilities, claiming the failure to pay the termination payment constituted a breach of the lease agreement for such facilities (in addition to a breach of the Lease Termination Agreement). In addition to seeking to repossess the premises, the Landlord also sought payment of $1 million as a termination fee, the forfeiture of the lease, and attorneys’ fees and costs. On August 28, 2008, the court denied Adept’s August 5, 2008, Motion to Quash Plaintiff’s Unlawful Detainer Complaint or, in the Alternative, Motion to Compel Arbitration, which was opposed by the Landlord. On August 29, 2008, the Court issued an order setting trial starting September 16, 2008. On the same day, Adept appealed the Court’s denial of the motion to compel arbitration and served notice of an automatic stay of all trial court proceedings pending the appeal of the denial of the motion to compel arbitration.
On July 31, 2008, the Landlord filed a complaint captioned Tri-Valley Technology Campus, LLC v. Adept Technology, Inc., Superior Court of the State of California, County of Alameda, Case No. VG08401607, bringing claims for declaratory relief, breach of contract, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing, intentional interference with contract, and intentional interference with prospective economic advantage. The Landlord seeks a declaration that the terms of the Lease Termination Agreement required Adept to pay $1 million to the landlord and to vacate the premises no later than August 26, 2008, damages, punitive damages, attorneys’ fees, and costs. Among other things, the Landlord alleged that the Landlord was required to deliver possession of the Livermore facilities to its new tenant, Comcast, no later than September 1, 2008, that Adept’s continued presence at the Livermore facilities prevented the landlord from delivering possession of the premises to Comcast by September 1, 2008, and sought damages and punitive damages, including but not limited to the value of the 13-year lease with Comcast. On September 2, 2008, Adept moved to compel arbitration of this dispute. The motion to compel arbitration was scheduled to be heard on October 31, 2008.
On October 16, 2008, Adept entered into a Settlement Agreement and Release with Tri-Valley Technology Campus, LLC providing for the termination of the pending disputes described above. The Settlement Agreement provides for payments totaling $500,000 to be made by Adept to Tri-Valley, with half of such amount paid upon execution of the Settlement Agreement. The Settlement Agreement provides for the remaining $250,000 to be paid into escrow upon Adept’s vacating the Livermore facilities, but no later than February 3, 2009, and to be released after dismissal by Tri-Valley of its pending litigation against Adept. The releases of claims relating to the dispute contemplated by the Settlement Agreement are to be effective after the two payments are made, the pending litigation actions are dismissed by Tri-Valley, and Adept has vacated the Livermore facilities.
Adept has agreed to use commercially reasonable efforts to vacate the Livermore facilities by December 31, 2008. Adept will continue to pay rent as provided under the lease while it continues to occupy the Livermore facilities, with payment of double rent on a per diem basis from January 1, 2009, if Adept still occupies the Livermore property at that time, and provides Tri-Valley the right to possession of the properties on February 1, 2009.

From time to time, we are party to various legal proceedings or claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of 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 the likelihood or outcome of any actual or potential actions from such assertions against us, 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 risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2008, filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on September 11, 2008, this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and in our other filings with the SEC.
OUR BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS MAY SUFFER FROM CURRENT ECONOMIC DOWNTURN IN MANUFACTURING AND OTHER BUSINESSES OF OUR CUSTOMERS
As a result of challenges currently affecting the global economy, particularly in manufacturing and consumer products, our customers may experience adverse changes in their business and as a result, may delay or default their payment obligations and modify or cancel plans to acquire our products or services and our suppliers may significantly and quickly increase their prices or reduce their output. If our customers are not successful in generating sufficient revenue or are precluded from securing financing, they may not be able to pay, or may delay payment of, accounts receivable that are owed to us, although these obligations are generally not cancelable. Our customers’ inability to fulfill payment obligations may adversely affect our revenue and cash flow. Additionally, our customers may seek to renegotiate pre-existing contractual commitments. Though we have not, to date, experienced a material level of defaults, any material payment default by our customers or significant reductions in existing contractual commitments would have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and operating results.

On September 2, 2008, Adept announced the approval of a stock repurchase program for up to $2.5 million of Adept common stock. Stock repurchases under this program may be made through a variety of methods, which may include open market purchases, privately negotiated transactions, block trades, accelerated share repurchase transactions or otherwise, or by any combination of such methods. The timing and actual number of shares repurchased will depend on a variety of factors including the stock price, corporate and contractual and regulatory requirements, alternative investment opportunities and other market and economic conditions, and there is no expiration date for the program. Adept has been, and expects to, fund its purchases from its working capital. Adept has no obligation to purchase a specific amount of common stock, and the stock repurchase program may be suspended or discontinued at any time. All purchases reflected above were made pursuant

to this repurchase program in open-market transactions. Given the recent downturn in the macroeconomic environment the Company is focused on preserving cash in the near term. The Company will reevaluate its working capital from time to time to determine if purchases will be made in the future.
