Organization, Consolidation and Presentation of Financial Statements [Abstract] | |
The Company and Basis of Presentation | The Company and Basis of Presentation |
QuickLogic Corporation ("QuickLogic" or "the Company"), was founded in 1988 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999. The Company develops and markets low-power programmable solutions that enable customers to add differentiated features and capabilities to their mobile, consumer and industrial products. The Company is a fabless semiconductor company that designs, markets and supports Customer Specific Standard Products, or CSSPs, Field Programmable Gate Arrays, or FPGAs, application solutions, associated design software and programming hardware. | |
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The Company recommends that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2014. Operating results for the three months ended March 29, 2015 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year. | |
QuickLogic's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31 and the fiscal quarters each end on the Sunday closest to the end of each calendar quarter. QuickLogic's first fiscal quarters for 2015 and for 2014 ended on Sunday, March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, respectively. | |
Liquidity | |
The Company has financed its operations and capital investments through sales of common stock, capital and operating leases, and bank lines of credit. As of March 29, 2015, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $28.2 million and $5.0 million in available credit under its revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank which expires on June 27, 2016. This line of credit provides for committed loan advances of up to $6.0 million, subject to increase at the Company's election up to $10.0 million. | |
The Company currently uses its cash to fund its capital expenditures and operating losses. Based on past performance and current expectations, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financial resources from the revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditures and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months. | |
Over the longer term, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from its revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank and its ability to sell additional shares to capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy its operations and capital expenditures. | |
The Company's liquidity is affected by many factors including, among others: the level of revenue and gross profit as a result of the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry; the conversion of design opportunities into revenue; market acceptance of existing and new products including CSSPs based on its ArcticLink® and PolarPro® solution platforms; fluctuations in revenue as a result of product end-of-life; fluctuations in revenue as a result of the stage in the product life cycle of its customers' products; costs of securing access to and availability of adequate manufacturing capacity; levels of inventories; wafer and finished goods purchase commitments; customer credit terms; the amount and timing of research and development expenditures; the timing of new product introductions; production volumes; product quality; sales and marketing efforts; the value and liquidity of our investment portfolio; changes in operating assets and liabilities; the ability to obtain or renew debt financing and to remain in compliance with the terms of existing credit facilities; the ability to raise funds from the sale of equity in the Company; the issuance and exercise of stock options and participation in the Company's employee stock purchase plan; and other factors related to the uncertainties of the industry and global economics. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that events in the future will not require the Company to seek additional capital or, if so required, that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. | |
Principles of Consolidation | |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QuickLogic and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. | |
Foreign Currency | |
The functional currency of the Company's non-U.S. operations is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all monetary assets and liabilities of these foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current period-end exchange rates and non-monetary assets and related elements of expense are translated using historical exchange rates. Income and expense elements are translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses from the foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are recorded as interest income and other expense, net in the condensed unaudited consolidated statements of operations. | |
Uses of Estimates | |
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly in relation to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns, valuation of investments, valuation of long-lived assets, valuation of inventories including identification of excess quantities, market value and obsolescence, measurement of stock-based compensation awards, accounting for income taxes and estimating accrued liabilities. | |
Concentration of Risk | |
The Company's accounts receivable are denominated in U.S. dollars and are derived primarily from sales to customers located in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. See Note 11 for information regarding concentrations associated with accounts receivable. | |
For the three months ended March 29, 2015, the Company generated 39% of its total revenue from shipments to Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Samsung"). See Note 11 for information regarding concentrations associated with customers and distributors. |

During the three months ended March 29, 2015, there were no changes in the Company's significant accounting policies from its disclosure in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2014.

New Accounting Pronouncements | |
In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (ASU 2015-02), which is intended to improve the targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations and securitization structures. In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from four to two, the new standard simplifies the FASB accounting standards codification and improves the current U.S. GAAP by: placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest; reducing the frequency of the application of related party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, or VIE and changing consolidation conclusions for public and private companies in several industries that typically make use of limited partnerships or VIEs. This ASU 2015-02 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-02 on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. | |
In January 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items (ASU 2015-01). This ASU 2015-01 eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items, requires that an entity separately classify, present and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be an ordinary and usual activity of a reporting entity unless evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item. If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show such item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The entity is also required to disclose applicable income taxes and either present or disclose earnings-per-share data applicable to the extraordinary item. This ASU 2015-01 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted provided that the adopted guidance is applied from the beginning of the annual year in which such guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-01 on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. | |
Other new accounting pronouncements are disclosed on the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2015. |

Earnings Per Share [Abstract] | |
Net Loss Per Share | Net Loss Per Share |
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method. In computing diluted net income (loss) per share, the weighted average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and warrants. | |
The following shares were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the three months ended March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014: (i) 7.1 million and 6.9 million of common shares associated with equity awards outstanding and the estimated number of shares to be purchased under the current offering period of the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, respectively, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to 4.2 million shares of common stock. These shares were not included as they were considered antidilutive due to the net loss the Company experienced during these periods. |

Fair Value Measurements | Fair Value Measurements | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and its subsequent updates, fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The accounting guidance for fair value measurement also specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs), or reflect the Company's own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels: | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Level 1 – Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Level 2 – Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
• | Level 3 – Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
The following table presents the Company's financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014, consistent with the fair value hierarchy provisions of the authoritative guidance (in thousands): | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The Company's shelf registration statement was declared effective on August 30, 2013 and expires in August 2016. | |
In November 2013, the Company issued an aggregate of 8,740,000 shares of common stock, $0.001 par value, in an underwritten public offering at a price of $2.90 per share. The Company received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $23.1 million, net of underwriter's commission and other offering expenses of $2.2 million. | |

The 1999 Stock Plan, or 1999 Plan, provided for the issuance of incentive and non-qualified options, restricted stock units and restricted stock. Equity awards granted under the 1999 Plan have a term of up to ten years. Options typically vest at a rate of 25% one year after the vesting commencement date, and one forty-eighth for each month of service thereafter. In March 2009, the Board adopted the 2009 Stock Plan, which was approved by the Company's stockholders on April 22, 2009. Effective April 22, 2009, no further stock options may be granted under the 1999 Plan. | |
2009 Stock Plan | |
The 2009 Stock Plan, or 2009 Plan, was amended and restated by the Board of Directors in March 2011 and approved by the Company's stockholders on April 28, 2011 to, among other things, reserve an additional 1.5 million shares of common stock for issuance under the 2009 Plan. As of March 29, 2015, approximately 7.0 million shares were reserved for issuance under the 2009 Plan. Equity awards that are cancelled, forfeited or repurchased under the 1999 Plan become available for grant under the 2009 Plan, up to a maximum of an additional 7.5 million shares. Equity awards granted under the 2009 Plan have a term of up to ten years. Options typically vest at a rate of 25% one year after the vesting commencement date, and one forty-eighth for each month of service thereafter. The Company may implement different vesting schedules in the future with respect to any new equity awards. | |
Employee Stock Purchase Plan | |
The 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or 2009 ESPP, was adopted in March 2009. The Company has reserved 2.3 million shares for issuance under the 2009 ESPP. The 2009 ESPP provides for six month offering periods. Participants purchase shares through payroll deductions of up to 20% of an employee's total compensation (maximum of 20,000 shares per offering period). The 2009 ESPP permits the Board of Directors to determine, prior to each offering period, whether participants purchase shares at: (i) 85% of the fair market value of the common stock at the end of the offering period; or (ii) 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning or the end of an offering period. The Board of Directors has determined that, until further notice, future offering periods will be made at 85% of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning or the end of an offering period. |

The Company's equity incentive program is a broad-based, long-term retention program intended to attract, motivate, and retain talented employees as well as align stockholder and employee interests. The Company provides stock-based incentive compensation, or awards, to eligible employees and non-employee directors. Awards that may be granted under the program include non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock units, or RSUs, performance-based restricted stock units, or PRSUs, and cash settlement of stock appreciation rights, or SARs. To date, awards granted under the program consist of stock options, RSUs and PRSUs. The majority of stock-based awards granted under the program vest over four years. Stock options granted under the program have a maximum contractual term of ten years. | |||||||||||||

Valuation Assumptions | |||||||||||||
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock options and rights to purchase shares under the Company's 2009 ESPP. Using the Black-Scholes pricing model requires the Company to develop highly subjective assumptions including the expected term of awards, expected volatility of its stock, expected risk-free interest rate and expected dividend rate over the term of the award. The Company's expected term of awards assumption is based primarily on its historical experience with similar grants. The Company's expected stock price volatility assumption for both stock options and ESPP shares is based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock, using the daily average of the opening and closing prices and measured using historical data appropriate for the expected term. The risk-free interest rate assumption approximates the risk-free interest rate of a Treasury Constant Maturity bond with a maturity approximately equal to the expected term of the stock option or ESPP shares. This fair value is expensed over the requisite service period of the award. The fair value of RSUs and PRSUs is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Equity compensation awards which vest with service are expensed using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period. | |||||||||||||
In addition to the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model, the amended authoritative guidance requires that the Company recognize expense for awards ultimately expected to vest; therefore the Company is required to develop an estimate of the number of awards expected to be forfeited prior to vesting, or forfeiture rate. The forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical pre-vest cancellation experience and is applied to all share-based awards. | |||||||||||||

The weighted average estimated fair value for options granted during the first quarters of 2015 and 2014 was $0.90 and $2.92 per option, respectively. As of March 29, 2015 and March 30, 2014, the fair value of unvested stock options, net of expected forfeitures, was approximately $2.9 million and $2.4 million, respectively. This unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is expected to be recorded over a weighted average period of 2.40 years. | |||||||||||||

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the first three months of 2015 and 2014 was $1,000 and $2.8 million, respectively. Total cash received from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises during the first three months of 2015 and 2014 was approximately $3,000 and $3.0 million respectively. The Company settles employee stock option exercises with newly issued common shares. In connection with these exercises, there was no tax benefit realized by the Company due to the Company's current loss position.

The stock-based compensation related to RSUs and PRSUs was $155,000 and $15,000, respectively, for the first quarter of 2015. As of March 29, 2015, there was $1.5 million in unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs and PRSUs. | |||||||||||||

As of March 29, 2015, 877,000 shares remained available for issuance under the 2009 ESPP. For the first quarter of 2015, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the 2009 ESPP of $79,000. | |||||||||||||

Income Tax Disclosure [Abstract] | |
Income Taxes | Income Taxes |
In the first quarters of 2015 and 2014, the Company recorded net income tax expenses of $40,000 and $20,000, respectively. The income tax expense for the first quarters of 2015 and 2014 relates to income taxes from the Company's foreign operations which are cost-plus entities. | |
Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company's net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, with the exception of its foreign subsidiaries, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against the associated deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets in future periods. | |
The Company had approximately $52,000 and $51,000 of unrecognized tax benefits at March 29, 2015 and December 28, 2014, respectively, which will result in a change in the Company's effective tax rate if recognized in future years. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. For the three month period ended March 29, 2015, the Company accrued $1,000 of interest and penalties. As of March 29, 2015, the Company had approximately $26,000 of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions. | |
Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at March 29, 2015 is $17,000 related to tax positions, interest, and penalties for which it is reasonably possible that the statute of limitations will expire in various jurisdictions within the next twelve months. | |
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income taxes in many U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. As of December 28, 2014, fiscal years 2010 onward remain open to examination by the U.S. taxing authorities and fiscal years 2006 onward remain open to examination in Canada. The U.S. federal and U.S. state taxing authorities may choose to audit tax returns for tax years beyond the statute of limitation period due to significant tax attribute carryforwards from prior years, making adjustments only to carryforward attributes. |

Liquidity | Liquidity |
The Company has financed its operations and capital investments through sales of common stock, capital and operating leases, and bank lines of credit. As of March 29, 2015, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $28.2 million and $5.0 million in available credit under its revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank which expires on June 27, 2016. This line of credit provides for committed loan advances of up to $6.0 million, subject to increase at the Company's election up to $10.0 million. | |
The Company currently uses its cash to fund its capital expenditures and operating losses. Based on past performance and current expectations, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financial resources from the revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditures and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months. | |
Over the longer term, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from its revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank and its ability to sell additional shares to capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy its operations and capital expenditures. | |
The Company's liquidity is affected by many factors including, among others: the level of revenue and gross profit as a result of the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry; the conversion of design opportunities into revenue; market acceptance of existing and new products including CSSPs based on its ArcticLink® and PolarPro® solution platforms; fluctuations in revenue as a result of product end-of-life; fluctuations in revenue as a result of the stage in the product life cycle of its customers' products; costs of securing access to and availability of adequate manufacturing capacity; levels of inventories; wafer and finished goods purchase commitments; customer credit terms; the amount and timing of research and development expenditures; the timing of new product introductions; production volumes; product quality; sales and marketing efforts; the value and liquidity of our investment portfolio; changes in operating assets and liabilities; the ability to obtain or renew debt financing and to remain in compliance with the terms of existing credit facilities; the ability to raise funds from the sale of equity in the Company; the issuance and exercise of stock options and participation in the Company's employee stock purchase plan; and other factors related to the uncertainties of the industry and global economics. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that events in the future will not require the Company to seek additional capital or, if so required, that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. | |
Principles of Consolidation | Principles of Consolidation |
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QuickLogic and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. | |
Foreign Currency | Foreign Currency |
The functional currency of the Company's non-U.S. operations is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all monetary assets and liabilities of these foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current period-end exchange rates and non-monetary assets and related elements of expense are translated using historical exchange rates. Income and expense elements are translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses from the foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are recorded as interest income and other expense, net in the condensed unaudited consolidated statements of operations. | |
Use of Estimates | Uses of Estimates |
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ from those estimates, particularly in relation to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns, valuation of investments, valuation of long-lived assets, valuation of inventories including identification of excess quantities, market value and obsolescence, measurement of stock-based compensation awards, accounting for income taxes and estimating accrued liabilities. | |
Concentration Risk | Concentration of Risk |
The Company's accounts receivable are denominated in U.S. dollars and are derived primarily from sales to customers located in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. See Note 11 for information regarding concentrations associated with accounts receivable. | |
New Accounting Pronouncements | New Accounting Pronouncements |
In February 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-02, Consolidation (Topic 810): Amendments to the Consolidation Analysis (ASU 2015-02), which is intended to improve the targeted areas of consolidation guidance for legal entities such as limited partnerships, limited liability corporations and securitization structures. In addition to reducing the number of consolidation models from four to two, the new standard simplifies the FASB accounting standards codification and improves the current U.S. GAAP by: placing more emphasis on risk of loss when determining a controlling financial interest; reducing the frequency of the application of related party guidance when determining a controlling financial interest in a variable interest entity, or VIE and changing consolidation conclusions for public and private companies in several industries that typically make use of limited partnerships or VIEs. This ASU 2015-02 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted including adoption in an interim period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-02 on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. | |
In January 2015, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2015-01, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items (ASU 2015-01). This ASU 2015-01 eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items, requires that an entity separately classify, present and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be an ordinary and usual activity of a reporting entity unless evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item. If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show such item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The entity is also required to disclose applicable income taxes and either present or disclose earnings-per-share data applicable to the extraordinary item. This ASU 2015-01 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. Early adoption is permitted provided that the adopted guidance is applied from the beginning of the annual year in which such guidance is adopted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-01 on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures. | |
Other new accounting pronouncements are disclosed on the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2014 filed with the SEC on March 5, 2015. | |
Earnings Per Share | Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method. In computing diluted net income (loss) per share, the weighted average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and warrants. |

In addition to the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model, the amended authoritative guidance requires that the Company recognize expense for awards ultimately expected to vest; therefore the Company is required to develop an estimate of the number of awards expected to be forfeited prior to vesting, or forfeiture rate.
