QUICKLOGIC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — 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 generally accepted accounting principles, or 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 condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2013 . Operating results for the six months ended June 29, 2014 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. QuickLogic's second fiscal quarter for 2014 and for 2013 ended on Sunday, June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 , 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 June 29, 2014 , the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $34.3 million and $5.0 million in available credit under its revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank. Effective June 30, 2014, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank ("Agreement") to extend the line of credit for two years through June 27, 2016. The Agreement provides for committed loan advances of up to $6.0 million , subject to increase at the Company's election to up to $10.0 million . See Note 14.
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.

QUICKLOGIC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

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 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 second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014 , the Company generated 59% and 40% , respectively, of its total revenue from shipments to Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Samsung"). See Note 11 for information regarding concentrations associated with customers and distributors.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
During the six months ended June 29, 2014 , 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 29, 2013 . For a discussion of the significant accounting policies, please see the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013 , filed with the Securities Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 6, 2014 .

New Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (ASU 2014-09), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing U.S. GAAP.

The standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016, and interim periods therein, using either of the following transition methods: (i) a full retrospective approach reflecting the application of the standard in each prior reporting period with the option to elect certain practical expedients, or (ii) a retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially adopting ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of adoption (which includes additional footnote disclosures). The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements and has not yet determined the method by which it will adopt the standard in 2017.

Note 3 — 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 second quarter and six months ended June 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013 : (i) 6.6 million and 7.4 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 for each period. These shares were not included as they were considered antidilutive due to the net loss the Company experienced during these periods.

Revolving Line of Credit
In June 2013, the Company entered into the Ninth Amendment to Second Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank, the terms of which included a $6.0 million revolving line of credit available through June 27, 2014 .

Note 6 — 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 assumption 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 June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013 , consistent with the fair value hierarchy provisions of the authoritative guidance (in thousands):

Note 7 - Stockholders' Equity

Common and Preferred Stock

The Company is authorized to issue 100 million shares of common stock and has 10 million shares of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock. Without any further vote or action by the Company's stockholders, the Board of Directors has the authority to determine the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued shares of undesignated preferred stock.

Issuance of Common Stock and Warrants

On July 31, 2013, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under which the Company may, from time to time, sell securities in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of $40.0 million . 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 .


11

In June 2012, the Company issued an aggregate of 5,122,000 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 2,304,900 shares of common stock in a confidentially marketed underwritten offering. The common stock and warrants were issued in units (the “Units”), with each Unit consisting of (i) one share of common stock and (ii) a warrant to purchase 0.45 of a share of common stock, at a price of $2.50 per Unit. The Company received total net proceeds from the offering of $11.9 million , net of underwriting discounts and other offering expenses of $929,000

The warrants are exercisable any time for a period of 60 months from the date of issuance on June 6, 2012, and are exercisable at a price of $2.98 per share. The Company allocated the proceeds between the common stock and the warrants based on the relative fair value of each on the date of issuance. The estimated grant date fair value was $0.97 per warrant and was calculated based on the following assumptions used in the Black-Scholes model: expected term of 5 years, risk-free interest rate of 0.89% , expected volatility of 62.18% and expected dividend of zero .

Note 8 — Employee Stock Plans
1999 Stock Plan
The 1999 Stock Plan, or 1999 Plan, provided for the issuance of incentive and nonqualified 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 June 29, 2014 , 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.

Note 9 — Stock-Based Compensation
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 stock bonus units. 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 following weighted average assumptions are included in the estimated fair value calculations for stock option grants:

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Company's closing stock price of $4.94 as of the end of the Company's current reporting period, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date.
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the first six months of 2014 and 2013 was $3.6 million and $28,000 , respectively. Total cash received from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises during the first six months of 2014 and 2013 was approximately $4.2 million and $47,000 , 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. Total stock-based compensation related to stock options was $296,000 and $607,000 for the second quarter and first six months ended June 29, 2014 , respectively.
Restricted Stock Units and Performance-based Restricted Stock Units
The Company began issuing RSUs and PRSUs in the third quarter of 2007. RSUs entitle the holder to receive, at no cost, one common share for each restricted stock unit as it vests. The Company's policy is to withhold shares in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of restricted stock units. The stock-based compensation related to RSUs and PRSUs was $174,000 and $17,000 , respectively, for the second quarter of 2014 . As of June 29, 2014 , there was $388,000 in unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs and PRSUs.

As of June 29, 2014 , the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense relating to the Company's 2009 ESPP was $78,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 4.6 months.

Note 10 — Income Taxes
In the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 , the Company recorded net income tax benefit of $44,000 and a net tax expense of $330,000 , respectively. The income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2014 includes the net effect of the following: (i) income taxes from its foreign operations which are cost-plus entities; and (ii) the release of an unrecognized tax benefit in the current period. The income tax expense for the second quarter of 2013 includes; (i) income taxes from its foreign operations which are cost-plus entities; and (ii) a charge relating to the reclassification of the tax effect of historical unrealized gains on our investment in TowerJazz Semiconductor Ltd., or TowerJazz,previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

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 $47,000 and $79,000 of unrecognized tax benefits at June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013 , respectively, which, if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. For the six month period ended June 29, 2014 , the Company

15
QUICKLOGIC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

accrued $3,000 of interest and penalties. As of June 29, 2014 , the Company had approximately $20,000 of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.

Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at June 29, 2014 is $16,000 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 no longer subject to U.S. federal, state and non-U.S. income tax audits by taxing authorities for fiscal years through 1997.

Overview
We develop and market low-power customizable semiconductor solutions that enable customers to add new differentiated features, extend battery life and improve the visual experience with their mobile, consumer and enterprise products. Our targeted mobile market segment includes Smartphones, Tablets, Wearables, and Mobile Enterprise. Our solutions typically fall into one of three product categories: Display & Visual Enhancement, Smart Connectivity and Ultra-Low Power Sensor Hubs. We are a fabless semiconductor company that designs Customer Specific Standard Products, or CSSPs, which are complete, customer-specific solutions that includes one or more of the following: a combination of silicon solution platforms; Proven System Blocks, or PSBs; customer-specific logic; algorithms; software drivers; and firmware. Our main platform families, ArcticLink and PolarPro, are standard silicon platforms. Recent examples of PSBs that have been developed and that are available to customers include driving one or more LEDs, Barcode transmission via InfraRed (IR) Light Emitting Diode (LED) and TV remote control via LED. The variety of PSBs offered by us allows system designers to combine multiple discrete chips onto a single CSSP, simplifying design and board layout, lowering BOM cost, and accelerating time-to-market. The programmable logic of the platforms is used for adding differentiated features and provides flexibility to address hardware-based product requirements quickly.

Utilizing a focused customer engagement model, we market CSSPs to Original Equipment Manufacturers, or OEMs, and Original Design Manufacturers, or ODMs, that offer differentiated mobile products, and to processor vendors wishing to expand their served available market through the deployment of reference designs to their customers. Our solutions enable OEMs and ODMs to add new features, extend battery life and improve the visual experience of their handheld mobile devices. In addition to working directly with our customers, we partner with other companies with expertise in certain technologies to develop additional intellectual property, reference platforms and system software to provide application solutions.

We work with mobile processor manufacturers in the development of reference designs. Through the use of reference designs that incorporate our CSSPs, we believe mobile processor manufacturers can expand the served available market for their processors. In the event, a CSSP development for a processor manufacturer is applicable to a set of common OEMs or ODMs, we can amortize our R&D investment over that set of OEMs/ODMs. We call this type of solution a Catalog CSSP. The

19

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — (Continued)

most recent example of a Catalog CSSP, announced during early 2014, was an Android KitKat compatible, context aware, ultra-low power sensor hub. We are placing a greater emphasis on developing and marketing Catalog CSSPs in the future.

In order to grow our revenue from its current level, we depend upon increased revenue from our new products, including existing new product platforms and platforms currently in development. We expect our business growth to be driven by CSSPs and our CSSP revenue growth needs to be strong enough to enable us to sustain profitability while we continue to invest in the development, sales and marketing of our new solution platforms, PSBs, algorithms, firmware, and new CSSPs. The gross margin associated with our CSSPs is generally lower than the gross margin of our FPGA products, due primarily to the price sensitive nature of the higher volume mobile consumer opportunities that we are pursuing with CSSPs.

During the second quarter of 2014 , we generated total revenue of $6.8 million which represents a decrease of 39% from the prior quarter and an increase of 33% over the second quarter of 2013 . Our new product revenue decreased to $4.5 million , down 50% sequentially and up 45% year over year. The overall branded Android tablet market declined significantly during the first half of 2014. The decrease in our new product revenue was primarily due to reduced shipments of our ArcticLink III display solution platform to Samsung.  We anticipate new product revenue generated from our Display & Visual Enhancement product category will continue to decline due to reduced demand in the Android tablet market.
For the second quarter of 2014 , revenue generated from Samsung accounted for 60% of our new product revenue and 40% of our total revenue. During the quarter, new products were shipped into the Tablet, Smartphone and the Mobile Enterprise markets. Our mature product revenue was $2.4 million , up 5% sequentially and up 16% year over year. We devote substantially all of our development, sales and marketing efforts on our new solution platforms, PSBs and CSSPs. Overall, we reported a net loss of $2.9 million for the second quarter of 2014 compared to a net loss of $3.2 million for the second quarter of 2013 .
Critical Accounting Estimates
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial statements. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our critical policies include revenue recognition, valuation of inventories including identification of excess quantities and product obsolescence, valuation of investments, valuation of long-lived assets, measurement of stock-based compensation and estimating accrued liabilities. We believe that we apply judgments and estimates in a consistent manner and that this consistent application results in consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that fairly represent all periods presented. However, any factual errors or errors in these judgments and estimates may have a material impact on our financial statements. For a discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates, please see Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2013 , filed with the SEC on March 6, 2014 .

The increase in new product revenue was primarily due to shipments to Samsung which had designed our ArcticLink III VX into a new tablet platform. Revenue generated from Samsung accounted for 60% of the new product revenue and 40% of total revenue in the second quarter of 2014 . The increase in mature product revenue is due primarily to increased orders from our customers in the aerospace, test and instrumentation sectors.

We continue to seek to expand our revenue through the pursuit of high volume sales opportunities in our target market segments and the sale of CSSPs incorporating our PSBs. Our industry is characterized by intense price competition and by lower margins as order volumes increase. Due to the concentration of our new product revenue in Samsung combined with the cyclicality of the mobile market, we have experienced significant fluctuation in new product revenue. While winning large-volume sales opportunities will increase our revenue, due to the pricing negotiation leverage of large companies, these opportunities may decrease our gross profit as a percentage of revenue. In addition, these large companies provide longer-term purchase forecasts which are not binding and may not result in revenue.

Gross Profit

The $1.1 million increase in gross profit in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the second quarter of 2013 was mainly due to the increase in revenue and favorable purchase price adjustments and sale of previously reserved inventory, partially offset by the increase in royalties in the second quarter of 2014 . The sale of previously reserved inventory was $233,000 and $122,000 in the second quarter of 2014 and 2013 , respectively.
Our semiconductor products have historically had long product life cycles and obsolescence has not been a significant factor in the valuation of inventories. However, as we continue to pursue opportunities in the mobile market and continue to develop new CSSPs and products, our product life cycle will be shorter and the risk of obsolescence will increase.


22

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — (Continued)

We also regularly review the cost of inventories and purchase commitments against estimated market value and record a lower of cost or market reserve for inventories that have a cost in excess of estimated market value. This could have a material impact on our gross margin and inventory balances based on additional write-downs to net realizable value or a benefit from inventories previously written down. In addition, our standard manufacturing lead times are longer than the binding forecasts we receive from larger companies. The revenue fluctuations we have experienced with Samsung have increased the risk of inventory obsolescence of our ArcticLink III display solution platform family.

Research and Development
Our research and development, or R&D, expenses consist primarily of personnel, overhead and other costs associated with engineering process improvements, programmable logic design, CSSP design and software development. The $1.2 million increase in R&D expenses in the second quarter of 2014 , as compared to the second quarter of 2013 , was attributable primarily to a $444,000 increase in compensation expenses due to increased headcount; a $333,000 increase in the purchase of intellectual property; a $175,000 increase in stock-based compensation expenses; and a $78,000 increase in third-party chip design costs. We expect that our R&D expenses will continue to increase due to planned engineering hires.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses consist primarily of personnel and related overhead costs for sales, marketing, finance, administration, human resources and general management. The $63,000 decrease in SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2014 , as compared to the second quarter of 2013 , was primarily due to a $373,000 decrease in compensation expenses due to a decrease in headcount; a $29,000 decrease in other employee costs; a $13,000 decrease in travel and entertainment expenses; and a $11,000 decrease in equipment and supplies purchases. These decreases were offset by a $395,000 increase in outside services related to an upgrade of our enterprise resource planning, or ERP, system; a $92,000 increase in stock-based compensation expenses; and a $65,000 increase in occupancy costs.

The decrease in interest expense was due primarily to the reduction in interest accrued for leased design software tools in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the second quarter of 2013 . The decrease in interest income and other expense, net, was due primarily to foreign exchange fluctuations in the second quarter of 2014 as compared to the second quarter of 2013 .

23

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — (Continued)

We conduct a portion of our research and development activities in Canada and India and we have sales and marketing activities in various countries outside of the United States. Most of these international expenses are incurred in local currency. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in interest and other income (expense), net, as they occur. We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency and, therefore, our results of operations are, and will continue to be, susceptible to fluctuations in foreign exchange gains or losses.
Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes

The income tax benefit for the second quarter of 2014 was primarily from a release of tax contingency reserves where the statute of limitations has expired offset by tax on foreign operations which are cost plus entities. The income tax provision for the second quarter of 2013 was primarily from our foreign operations which are cost-plus entities and a charge relating to the reclassification of the tax effect of historical unrealized gains on our investment in TowerJazz , previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income. As of the end of the second quarter of 2014 , our ability to utilize our income tax loss carryforwards in future periods is uncertain and, accordingly, we recorded a full valuation allowance against the related U.S. tax provision. We will continue to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets in future periods.

The $1.8 million increase in R&D expenses in the first six months of 2014 as compared to the first six months of 2013 was attributable primarily to $690,000 increase in compensation expenses related to an increase in headcount; a $490,000 increase in stock-based compensation expenses; a $333,000 increase due to the purchase of intellectual property; and a $30,000 increase in third party chip design costs.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense
The $872,000 increase in SG&A expenses in the first six months of 2014 as compared to the first six months of 2013 was primarily due to an increase of $532,000 in administration consulting expenses related to stock expense, legal, recruiting, and director fees and a $317,000 increase in consulting expenses related to the upgrade of the Company's ERP system.

Restructuring Costs

In an effort to consolidate and streamline its engineering organization, the Company implemented a restructuring plan on March 28, 2013. The total associated charges for employee severance benefits under the restructuring plan was $213,000 as of June 30, 2013 .

The income tax benefit for the first six months of 2014 was primarily from a release of tax contingency reserves where the statute of limitations has expired offset by tax on foreign operations which are cost plus entities. The income tax provision for the first six months of 2013 was primarily from our foreign operations which are cost-plus entities and a charge relating to the reclassification of the tax effect of historical unrealized gains on our investment in TowerJazz , previously recorded as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income.

As of June 29, 2014 , our ability to utilize our income tax loss carryforwards in future periods is uncertain and, accordingly, we recorded a full valuation allowance against the related U.S. tax provision. We will continue to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets in future periods.

Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operating losses and capital investments through sales of common stock, private equity investments, capital and operating leases, a revolving line of credit and cash flows from operations. As of June 29, 2014 , our principal sources of liquidity consisted of our cash and cash equivalents of $34.3 million and available credit under our revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank of $5.0 million . The borrowing under the Company's line of credit is subject to maintaining a tangible net worth of at least $15.0 million , unrestricted cash or cash equivalent balance of at least $8.0 million and a quick ratio of 2-to-1. Upon each advance, the Company can elect one of two interest rates: the prime rate plus the prime rate margin, or the LIBOR plus the LIBOR rate margin. We were in compliance with all loan covenants as of the end of the current reporting period. As of June 29, 2014 , the Company had $1.0 million of revolving debt outstanding with an interest rate of 3.73% . On June 30, 2014, the Company entered into a Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank to extend the line of credit for two years through June 27, 2016. The Agreement provides for committed loan advances of up to $6.0 million , subject to increase at the Company's election to up to $10.0 million .

We currently use cash to fund capital expenditures and operating losses. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financial resources from the revolving line of credit facility will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditures, and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months.
Over the longer term, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources generated from our revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank and our ability to sell additional shares to capital markets, will be sufficient to satisfy our operations and capital expenditures.

Most of our cash and cash equivalents were invested in a U.S. Treasury money market fund rated AAAm/Aaa. Our interest-bearing debt consisted of $435,000 outstanding under capital leases and $1.0 million outstanding under our revolving debt (see Note 5 of the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements).

Cash balances held at our foreign subsidiaries were approximately $888,000 and $882,000 at June 29, 2014 and December 29, 2013 , respectively. Earnings from our foreign subsidiaries are currently deemed to be indefinitely reinvested. We do not expect such reinvestment to affect our liquidity and capital resources, and we continually evaluate our liquidity needs and ability to meet global cash requirements as a part of our overall capital deployment strategy. Factors which affect our global capital deployment strategy include anticipated cash flows, the ability to repatriate cash in a tax efficient manner, funding requirements for operations and investment activities, acquisitions and divestitures and capital market conditions.

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — (Continued)

Net cash from operating activities
Net cash used for operating activities was $6.7 million in the first six months of 2014 . The cash used for operating activities is a result of the net loss of $5.0 million and cash used for operating assets and liabilities of $3.8 million partially offset by $2.1 million of net non-cash charges. These non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation of $1.3 million , depreciation and amortization of $727,000 , and a write-down of inventory of $99,000 . The cash used for operating assets and liabilities was mostly due to an increase in inventories in anticipation of potential future revenues and a reduction in accounts payable due to timing of payments.
Net cash used for operating activities was $5.3 million in the first six months of 2013. The cash used for operating activities is a result of the net loss of $6.8 million partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities and $1.7 million of net non-cash charges. These non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation of $737,000, depreciation and amortization of $632,000, tax effect on other comprehensive income of $273,000, a gain on the sale of TowerJazz shares of $181,000, and a write-down of inventory of $249,000. In addition, changes in operating assets and liabilities provided cash of $171,000 in the first six months of 2013.
Net cash from investing activities
Net cash used by investing activities for the first six months of 2014 was $520,000 , which was primarily from cash used to acquire equipment and software used for the production and development of new products. Capital expenditures, which are largely driven by the development of new products and manufacturing levels, are projected to be approximately $880,000 during the remainder of fiscal year 2014 .

Net cash provided by investing activities for the first six months of 2013 was $182,000, which was primarily from the sale of TowerJazz stock offset by cash used to acquire equipment and software used for the production and development of new products.

Net cash from financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $4.1 million for the first six months of 2014 , primarily derived from proceeds related to the issuance of common shares to employees under our equity plans.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $276,000 for the first six months of 2013, due primarily to $348,000 in proceeds related to the issuance of common shares to employees under our equity plans which was partially offset by $72,000 of scheduled payments under the terms of our capital lease obligations.
We require substantial cash to fund our business. However, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financial resources from the revolving line of credit facility and our access to capital markets, will be sufficient to satisfy our operations and capital expenditures over the next twelve months. After the next twelve months, our cash requirements will depend on many factors including our level of revenue and gross profit, the market acceptance of our existing and new products, the levels at which we maintain inventories and accounts receivable, costs of securing access to adequate manufacturing capacity, new product development efforts, capital expenditures and the level of our operating expenses.

Concentration of Suppliers
We depend on a limited number of contract manufacturers, subcontractors, and suppliers for wafer fabrication, assembly, programming and testing of our devices, and for the supply of programming equipment. These services are typically provided by one supplier for each of our devices. We generally purchase these single or limited source services through standard purchase orders. Because we rely on independent subcontractors to perform these services, we cannot directly control product delivery schedules, costs or quality levels. Our future success also depends on the financial viability of our independent subcontractors. These subcontract manufacturers produce products for other companies and we must place orders up to several months in advance of expected delivery. As a result, we have only a limited ability to react to fluctuations in demand for our products, which could cause us to have an excess or a shortage of inventories of a particular product, and our ability to respond to changes in demand is limited by these suppliers' ability to provide products with the quantity, quality, cost and timeliness that we require. The decision not to provide these services to us or the inability to supply these services to us, such as in the case of a natural or financial disaster, would have a significant impact on our business. Increased demand from other companies could result in these subcontract manufacturers allocating available capacity to customers that are larger or have long-term supply contracts in place and we may be unable to obtain adequate foundry and other capacity at acceptable prices, or we may experience delays or interruption in supply. Additionally, volatility of economic, market, social and political conditions in countries where these suppliers operate may be unpredictable and could result in a reduction in product revenue or increase our cost of revenue and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.


Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not maintain any off-balance sheet partnerships, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others, often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 of the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the respective dates of adoption and expected effects on results of operations and financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and variable rate debt. We do not use derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk. We are adverse to principal loss and ensure the safety and preservation of invested funds by limiting default, market risk and reinvestment risk. Our investment portfolio is generally comprised of investments that meet high credit quality standards and have active secondary and resale markets. Since these securities are subject to interest rate risk, they could decline in value if interest rates fluctuate or if the liquidity of the investment portfolio were to change. Due to the short duration and conservative nature of our investment portfolio, we do not anticipate any material loss with respect to our investment portfolio. A 10% move in interest rates as of the end of the second quarter of 2014 would have an immaterial effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
All of our sales and costs of manufacturing are transacted in U.S. dollars. We conduct a portion of our research and development activities in Canada and India and have sales and marketing offices in several locations outside of the United States. We use the U.S. dollar as our functional currency. Most of the costs incurred at these international locations are in local currency. If these local currencies strengthen against the U.S. dollar, our payroll and other local expenses will be higher than we currently anticipate. Since our sales are transacted in U.S. dollars, this negative impact on expe nses would not be offset by any positive effect on revenue. Operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies were approximately 19% and 22% of total operating expenses for the first six months of 2014 and 2013 , respectively. A currency exchange rate fluctuation of 10% would have caused our operating expenses to change by approximately $231,000 in the first six months of 2014 .


31

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on management's evaluation as of June 29, 2014 , our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all error and fraud. 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. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. 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 the Company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Part II. Other Information

Item 1. Legal Proceedings
See Note 13 of the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
Our 2013 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2013 , filed with the SEC on March 6, 2014 , includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors at Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, which discussion is hereby incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1A. The information presented below updates and supplements, and should be read in conjunction with the risk factors and information disclosed in that Form 10-K and in conjunction with any subsequent updates disclosed in our quarterly filings on Form 10-Q.

The risks described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial may also adversely affect our business and results from operations.

Risk Factors

Currently we depend on Samsung for a significant portion of our revenue and the loss of or reduction in orders from Samsung could adversely impact our inventory levels and affect our revenue and harm our business, financial condition, operating results and cash flows.
During our second quarter ended June 29, 2014 , Samsung accounted for 40% of our total revenue. Samsung purchased fewer of our products in the second quarter of 2014, than they did in the first quarter of 2014.  In the future, they may decide to purchase even fewer of our products or not to continue to purchase our products.  Samsung may also decide to modify the terms on which they purchase our products.  Samsung is not required to continue to purchase our products. If we fail to continue to make design wins with Samsung, or properly time our inventory purchases, which require a commitment by us with suppliers several months prior to forecasted shipments to Samsung, our revenue and profitability may be adversely affected and the risk of inventory obsolescence may increase.
