Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements

(Unaudited)

1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Description of Business

Accuray Incorporated (together with its subsidiaries, the “Company” or “Accuray”) is incorporated in Delaware and has its principal place of business in Sunnyvale, California. The Company designs, develops and sells advanced radiosurgery and radiation therapy systems for the treatment of tumors throughout the body. The Company has offices in the United States, Switzerland, China, Hong Kong and Japan and conducts its business worldwide.

Basis of Presentation and Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All significant inter-company transactions and balances have been eliminated in consolidation.

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles (GAAP), pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the SEC). Certain information and note disclosures have been condensed or omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the annual financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include only normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair presentation of the periods presented. The results for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017, or for any other future interim period or fiscal year.

These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 24, 2016. The Company’s significant accounting policies are described in Note 2 to those audited consolidated financial statements and there have been no subsequent material changes to such policies.

Recent Accounting Standard Update Not Yet Effective

In November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Accounting Standard Update (ASU) No. 2016-18, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash (ASU 2016-18), which provides amendments to current guidance to address the classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash in the statement of cash flows. This ASU will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined whether it will elect early adoption and is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of these standards on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments (ASU 2016-15), which clarifies the presentation and classification of certain cash receipts and cash payments in the statement of cash flows. This ASU will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2019 and early adoption is permitted. The Company has not yet determined whether it will elect early adoption and is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standards on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13 (ASU 2016-13) Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments. ASU 2016-13 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held. This ASU will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2021 and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, with certain exceptions. Early adoption is permitted beginning in the first quarter of the Company’s fiscal year 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718). The new guidance simplifies several aspects of the accounting for share-based payment transactions, including the income tax consequences, classification of awards as either equity or liabilities, and classification on the statement of cash flows. This ASU will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2018 and early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842). Under the new guidance, a lessee will be required to recognize assets and liabilities for all leases with lease terms of more than 12 months. Consistent with current GAAP, the recognition, measurement, and presentation of expenses and cash flows arising from a lease by a lessee primarily will depend on its classification as a finance or operating lease. This ASU will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2020 and early adoption is permitted. The ASU requires adoption based upon a modified retrospective transition approach. Company has not yet selected a transition method, has not yet determined whether it will elect early adoption and is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In January 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-01 (ASU 2016-01) Recognition and Measurement of Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities. ASU 2016-01 changes accounting for equity investments, financial liabilities under the fair value option and the presentation and disclosure requirements for financial instruments. In addition, it clarified guidance related to the valuation allowance assessment when recognizing deferred tax assets resulting from unrealized losses on available-for-sale debt securities. This ASU will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2019 and must be adopted using a modified retrospective approach, with certain exceptions. Early adoption is permitted for certain provisions. The Company has not yet determined whether it will elect early adoption and is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers: Topic 606 (ASU 2014-09), to supersede nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under 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 that is expected to be received for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, it is possible more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than required under existing GAAP including identifying performance obligations in the contract, estimating the amount of variable consideration to include in the transaction price and allocating the transaction price to each separate performance obligation. ASU 2014-09 is required to be adopted, using either of two methods: (i) retrospective to each prior reporting period presented with the option to elect certain practical expedients as defined within ASU 2014-09; or (ii) retrospective with the cumulative effect of initially applying ASU 2014-09 recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. In August 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of the effective period of ASU 2014-09. The standard will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of its fiscal year 2019, but early adoption is permitted starting in the first quarter of fiscal year 2018. The FASB issued supplemental adoption guidance and clarification to ASU 2014-09 in 2016 and 2017. Preliminarily, the Company intends to adopt the new standard in the first quarter of fiscal year 2019 using the retrospective approach noted in (ii) above. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of this standard on its condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. While the Company’s assessment is ongoing, it believes that the most significant impacts are related to the recognition of revenues for system sales and the potential deferral of sales commissions over a longer period. Due to the complexity of certain of the Company’s customer contracts, the actual revenue recognition treatment required under the new standard for these arrangements may be dependent on contract-specific terms and vary in some instances.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues and expenses, and related disclosures at the date of the financial statements. Key estimates and assumptions made by the Company relate to revenue recognition, assessment of recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of inventories, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, allowance for doubtful accounts, loss contingencies and corporate bonus expenses. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates.

Concentration of Credit and Other Risks

The Company’s cash, cash equivalents and investments are deposited with several major financial institutions. At times, deposits in these institutions exceed the amount of insurance provided on such deposits. The Company has not experienced any losses in such accounts and does not believe that it is exposed to any significant risk of loss on these balances.

For the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, there were no customers that represented 10% or more of total net revenue. For the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, there were no customers that represented more than 10% and one customer that represented 11% of total net revenue, respectively. One customer accounted for 20% and 18% of the Company’s total accounts receivable as of December 31, 2016 and Jun e 30, 2016, respectively.

Accounts receivable are typically not collateralized. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and maintains reserves for potential credit losses. Accounts receivable are deemed past due in accordance with the contractual terms of the agreement pursuant to which the accounts receivable are generated. Accounts receivable balances are charged against the allowance for doubtful accounts once collection efforts are unsuccessful.

Table of Contents

Single source suppliers presently provide the Company with several components. In most cases, if a supplier was unable to deliver these components, the Company believes that it would be able to find other sources at comparable prices for these components subject to any regulatory qualifications, if required.

Revenue Recognition

The Company earns revenue from the sale of products and related services. The Company records revenues net of any value added or sales tax. For arrangements with multiple elements, the Company allocates arrangement fees to products and services based upon Vendor Specific Objective Evidence (VSOE) of fair value of the respective elements, Third-Party Evidence (TPE), or Best Estimate of Selling Price (BESP), using the relative selling price method.

Product and Service Revenue

The majority of product revenue is generated from sales of CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems. If the Company is responsible for installation, the Company recognizes revenue after installation and acceptance of the system. Otherwise, revenue is recognized upon delivery, assuming all other revenue recognition criteria are met.

The Company offers systems with post-contract customer support (PCS), installation services, training and professional services. PCS includes planned and corrective maintenance services, software updates, bug fixes, as well as call-center support. Service revenue is generated primarily from PCS (warranty period services and post warranty services), installation services, training, parts and upgrades that are sold under service contracts and professional services. PCS revenue is deferred and recognized over the service period. Installation service revenue is recognized concurrently with system revenue. Training and professional service revenues that are not deemed essential to the functionality of the systems are recognized as such services are performed.

Costs associated with service revenue are expensed when incurred, except when those costs are related to parts or system upgrades where revenue recognition has been deferred. In those cases, the costs are deferred and recognized over the period of revenue recognition.

Net Loss Per Common Share

Basic and diluted net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss attributable to stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share follows (in thousands):

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	December 31,						December 31,
	2016			2015			2016			2015
Numerator:
Net loss used to compute basic and diluted loss per share	$	(9,369	)	$	(6,027	)	$	(19,295	)	$	(19,053	)
Denominator:
Weighted average shares used in computing basic and diluted loss per share	82,328			80,346			81,952			80,053

The potentially dilutive shares of the Company’s common stock resulting from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options, the vesting of Restricted Stock Units (RSU), Market Stock Units (MSU) and Performance Stock Units (PSU), and the purchase of shares under the Employee Stock Purchase Program (ESPP), as determined under the treasury stock method, are excluded from the computation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive. Additionally, the 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due February 1, 2018 (the “3.50% Convertible Notes”), the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes (the “3.50% Series A Convertible Notes”) due February 1, 2018 (together, the “Convertible Notes”) and the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes (the “3.75% Convertible Notes”) are included in the calculation of diluted net income per share only if their inclusion is dilutive. The following table sets forth all potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation in the table above because their effect would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):

	As of December 31,
	2016	2015
Stock options	2,850	2,409
RSUs, PSUs and MSUs	5,622	4,834
3.50% Convertible Notes	8,378	8,378
3.50% Series A Convertible Notes	—	2,781
	16,850	18,402

Table of Contents

Outstanding Convertible Notes—Diluted Share Impact

The 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes have an optional physical (share), cash or combination settlement feature and contain certain conditional conversion features. Due to the optional cash settlement feature and management’s intent to settle the principal amount thereof in cash, the conversion shares underlying the outstanding principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes, totaling approximately 13.2 million shares were not included in the potentially diluted share count table above. The zero potentially dilutive shares of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes as of December 31, 2016, included in the table above are the result of the lower average share price, which was below the conversion price and management’s intent to settle the principal amount thereof in cash. The number of premium shares included in the Company’s diluted share count will vary with fluctuations in the Company’s share price. Higher actual share prices result in a greater number of premium shares.

The 3.75% Convertible Notes were fully settled in cash during January and August of 2016 as further discussed in Note 8. As of December 31, 2015, approximately 10.6 million shares related to the 3.75% Convertible Notes were excluded from the potentially dilutive share count table above due to the optional cash settlement feature and management’s intent to settle the principal amount thereof in cash. In addition, there were no premium shares associated with the 3.75% Convertible Notes as the Company’s average share price did not exceed the conversion price as of December 31, 2015.

Segment Information

The Company has one operating and reporting segment (oncology systems group), which develops, manufactures and markets proprietary medical devices used in radiation therapy and radiosurgery for the treatment of cancer patients. The Company’s Chief Executive Officer, its Chief Operating Decision Maker reviews financial information presented on a consolidated basis for purposes of making operating decisions and assessing financial performance. The Company does not assess the performance of its individual product lines on measures of profit or loss, or asset based metrics. Therefore, the information below is presented only for revenues and long-lived tangible assets by geographic areas. Revenue by geographic region is based on the shipping addresses of the Company’s customers. The following summarizes revenue by geographic region (in thousands):

2. Balance Sheet Components

Financing receivables

A financing receivable is a contractual right to receive money, on demand or on fixed or determinable dates, that is recognized as an asset in the Company’s balance sheet. The Company’s financing receivables, consisting of its accounts receivable with contractual maturities of more than one year and capital leases, totaled $6.0 million and $7.6 million at December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively, and are included in Other Assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. Of the $6.0 million in financing receivables at December 31, 2016, $3.2 million is related to sales-type leases with customers while the remaining $2.8 million is related to contractual maturities of more than one year. Of the $7.6 million in financing receivables at June 30, 2016, $3.5 million is related to sales-type leases with customers while the remaining $4.1 million is related to contractual maturities of more than one year. Due to the homogenous nature of the leasing transactions, the Company manages them on an aggregate basis when assessing and monitoring credit risk. The Company evaluates the credit quality of an obligor at lease inception and monitors credit quality over the term of the underlying transactions. The Company performs a credit analysis for all new customers and reviews payment history, current order backlog, financial performance of the customers and other variables that augment or mitigate the inherent credit risk of a particular transaction. Such variables include the underlying value and liquidity of the collateral, the essential use of the equipment, the term of the lease and the inclusion of credit enhancements, such as guarantees, letters of credit or security deposits. Accounts rated as low risk typically have the equivalent of a Moody’s rating of Baa3 or higher, while accounts rated as moderate risk generally have the equivalent of a Ba1 or lower. The Company classifies accounts as high risk when it considers the financing receivable to be impaired or when management believes there is a significant near-term risk of non-payments. As of December 31, 2016, the sales-type lease portion of the financing receivables was rated at a moderate risk. The Company performed an assessment of the allowance for credit losses related to its financing receivables as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016. Based upon such assessment, the Company did not record an allowance for credit losses related to such financing receivables as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016, respectively.

4. Foreign Exchange Instruments

The Company utilizes foreign currency forward contracts with well-known financial institutions to manage its exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates on certain intercompany balances and foreign currency denominated cash and customer receivables. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. These forward contracts are not designated as hedging instruments for accounting purposes. Principal hedged currencies include the Euro, Japanese Yen, Swiss Franc, and U.S. Dollar. The periods of these forward contracts range up to approximately three months and the notional amounts are intended to be consistent with changes in the underlying exposures. The Company intends to exchange foreign currencies for U.S. Dollars at maturity. There were no outstanding foreign currency forward contracts at the end of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016.

The following table shows the effect of forward contracts not designated as hedging instruments and foreign currency transactions gains and losses, which were included in “Other expense, net” on the condensed consolidated statements of operations in three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 is as follows (in thousands):

5. Financial Instruments

The Company considers all highly liquid investments held at major banks, certificates of deposit and other securities with original maturities of three months or less to be cash equivalents.

The Company classifies all of its investments as available-for-sale at the time of purchase because management intends that these investments are available for current operations and includes these investments on its balance sheet as short-term investments. Investments with original maturities longer than three months include commercial paper, U.S. agency securities, non-U.S. government securities and investment-grade corporate debt securities. Investments classified as available-for-sale are recorded at fair market value with the related unrealized gains and losses included in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), a component of stockholders’ equity. Realized gains and losses are recorded based on specific identification of each security’s cost basis.

The Company defines fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. The fair value hierarchy contains three levels of inputs that may be used to measure fair value, as follows:

Level 1— Unadjusted quoted prices that are available in active markets for the identical assets or liabilities at the measurement date.

Level 2— Other observable inputs available at the measurement date, other than quoted prices included in Level 1, either directly or indirectly, including:

· Quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets;

· Quoted prices for identical or similar assets in non-active markets;

· Inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the asset or liability; and

· Inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by other observable market data.

Level 3— Unobservable inputs that cannot be corroborated by observable market data and require the use of significant management judgment. These values are generally determined using pricing models for which the assumptions utilize management’s estimates of market participant assumptions.

The following tables summarize the amortized cost, gross unrealized gains, gross unrealized losses and fair value by significant investment category for cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments (in thousands):

Table of Contents

Certain investments in the table above are classified as having Level 2 inputs because quoted prices in an active market are not readily accessible for those specific financial assets, or the Company may have relied on alternative pricing methods that do not rely exclusively on quoted prices to determine the fair value of the investments.

The Company had investments that were in an unrealized loss position as of December 31, 2016. The Company determined that (i) it does not have the intent to sell any of these investments and (ii) it is not likely that it will be required to sell any of these investments before recovery of the entire amortized cost basis. The Company reviews its investments quarterly to identify and evaluate investments that have an indication of possible impairment. As of December 31, 2016, the Company anticipates that it will recover the entire carrying value of such investments and has determined that no other-than-temporary impairments associated with credit losses were required to be recognized during the three and six months ended December 31, 2016.

Contractual maturities of available-for-sale securities at December 31, 2016 were as follows (in thousands):

The Company held a total of 13 positions as of December 31, 2016 and 11 positions as of June 30, 2016 that were in an unrealized loss position. Based on the Company’s review of these securities, the Company believes it had no other-than-temporary impairments on these securities as of December 31, 2016 and June 30, 2016 because it does not intend to sell these securities and believes it is not more likely than not that it will be required to sell these securities before the recovery of their amortized cost basis. Gross realized gains and gross realized losses were insignificant for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 and the year ended June 30, 2016.

Assets and Liabilities That are Measured at Fair Value on a Nonrecurring Basis

The Company’s non-marketable equity investments and non-financial assets, such as goodwill, intangible assets, and property, plant, and equipment (measured at fair value if a write-down is recognized) are evaluated for impairment annually or when indicators of impairment exist. The fair value measurement of non-marketable equity investments is performed by a third-party analyst using Level 3 inputs. Non-financial assets such as identified intangible assets acquired in connection with an acquisition are measured at fair value using Level 3 inputs, which include discounted cash flow methodologies, or similar techniques, when there is limited market activity and the determination of fair value requires significant judgment and estimates. In addition, in evaluating the fair value of goodwill impairment, further corroboration is obtained using the Company’s market capitalization. The Company did not record any impairment charges for non-marketable equity investments or non-financial assets in the three and six months ended December 31, 2016.

The following table summarizes the carrying values and estimated fair values of our short-term and long-term debt (in thousands):

	December 31, 2016				June 30, 2016
	Carrying Value		Fair Value		Carrying Value		Fair Value
3.75% Convertible Notes	$	—	$	—	$	36,400	$	36,487
3.50% Convertible Notes	43,642		47,472		43,195		51,450
3.50% Series A Convertible Notes	67,748		74,785		66,613		81,053
Secured Loan (1)	58,778		58,778		64,204		64,204
Total	$	170,168	$	181,035	$	210,412	$	233,194

(1) The carrying value of the Secured Loan approximates fair value as the Company did not elect the fair value option for the Secured Loan.

The Convertible Notes are measured on a non-recurring basis using Level 2 inputs based upon observable inputs of the Company’s underlying stock price and the time value of the conversion option, since an observable quoted price of the Convertible Notes is not readily available.

6. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Lease Agreements

The Company leases office and manufacturing space under non-cancelable operating leases with various expiration dates through December 2025. In October 2016, the Company signed a lease extension on its Madison, Wisconsin facility through 2025, which would have expired in 2018. Accordingly, the Company’s lease obligations increased from $39.9 million as of June 30, 2016 to $50.0 million as of December 31, 2016.

Future minimum lease payments under non-cancelable operating lease agreements as of December 31, 2016 are as follows (in thousands):

	Operating
Year Ending June 30,	Leases
2017 (remaining 6 months)	$	4,489
2018	8,385

Table of Contents

The Company’s contractual obligations were presented in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the previous annual reporting period ended June 30, 2016. As discussed in Note 8, in August 2016, the Company settled the remaining approximately $36.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and accrued interest for $37.3 million in cash in its first fiscal quarter. During the second fiscal quarter, the Company repaid $5.0 million of its Secured Loan. Except for the change in lease obligations presented in the above table and a reduction of the Company’s Notes and Secured Loan, there has been no significant changes outside of the ordinary course of business in those obligations during the three and six months ended December 31, 2016.

Litigation

From time to time, the Company is involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of its business. The Company records a provision for a loss when it believes that it is both probable that a loss has been incurred and the amount can be reasonably estimated. Currently, management believes the Company does not have any probable and reasonably estimable losses related to any current legal proceedings and claims. Although occasional adverse decisions or settlements may occur, management does not believe that an adverse determination with respect to any of these claims would individually or in the aggregate materially and adversely affect the Company’s financial condition or operating results. Litigation is inherently unpredictable and is subject to significant uncertainties, some of which are beyond the Company’s control. Should any of these estimates and assumptions change or prove to have been incorrect, the Company could incur significant charges related to legal matters that could have a material impact on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Software License Indemnity

Under the terms of the Company’s software license agreements with its customers, the Company agrees that in the event the software sold infringes upon any patent, copyright, trademark, or any other proprietary right of a third-party, it will indemnify its customer licensees against any loss, expense, or liability from any damages that may be awarded against its customer. The Company includes this infringement indemnification in all of its software license agreements and selected managed services arrangements. In the event the customer cannot use the software or service due to infringement and the Company cannot obtain the right to use, replace or modify the license or service in a commercially feasible manner so that it no longer infringes, then the Company may terminate the license and provide the customer a refund of the fees paid by the customer for the infringing license or service. The Company has not recorded any liability associated with this indemnification, as it is not aware of any pending or threatened actions that represent probable losses as of December 31, 2016.

8. Debt

First Lien Senior Secured Term Loan due January 2021 (Secured Loan)

On January 11, 2016, the Company closed a $70.0 million first lien senior secured debt financing agreement with Cerberus Business Finance, LLC, an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P (the “Secured Loan”). As required by the terms of the financing, upon the closing of the financing in January 2016, the Company used a portion of the net proceeds from the financing to repurchase approximately $63.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes for $66.6 million in cash. In August 2016, the Company settled the remaining approximately $36.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and accrued interest for $37.3 million in cash. The Secured Loan bears interest at a variable rate per annum equal to, at the Company’s option, (i) the LIBOR Rate for one month plus an applicable margin of 7.00% (subject to a LIBOR Rate floor of 1.00% per annum), or (ii) a Reference Rate, which is the higher of 1) 3.25%, 2) Federal Funds Rate plus 0.5%, 3) the LIBOR rate for 1 month plus 1%, and 4) the US Prime Rate as published in the Wall Street Journal, plus an applicable margin of 4.75% per annum. The loan is repayable in consecutive quarterly installments of $875,000 with the final payment due on the Final Maturity Date. The Secured Loan matures on the earlier of: (i) January 11, 2021 and (ii) the date that is 120 days prior to the scheduled maturity date of the 3.5% Convertible Senior Notes maturing February 1, 2018 unless the Company has set aside specifically identifiable funds raised from new common equity or new debt equal to the then-outstanding principal amount of the 3.5% Convertible Senior Notes. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount and commission and the related offering costs, were approximately $65.5 million. The offering costs of $3.1 million and the initial purchaser’s discount and commission of $1.4 million (both of which are recorded in Long-term Debt) are being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over five years. The Secured Loan is secured by first-priority liens on substantially all the assets of the Company.

Table of Contents

The covenants in the Secured Loan include:

· Secured leverage —defines the maximum amount of secured leverage that can be on the Company’s books at a given point in time calculated by the total secured debt divided by the last twelve months’ adjusted EBITDA;

· Total leverage —defines the maximum amount of total leverage that can be on the Company’s books at a given point in time calculated by the total debt divided by the last twelve months’ adjusted EBITDA;

· Fixed Charge Coverage Ratio — designed to ensure that the Company’s cash fixed charges are met with adequate free cash flow based on a minimum coverage ratio to be set and maintained;

· Minimum EBITDA — defines the minimum amount of adjusted EBITDA the Company must maintain and generate;

· Maximum CapEx — defines how much cash the Company can use annually to pursue capital projects, purchase PP&E and other related activities during the life of the loan; and

· Affirmative and negative covenants — defines reporting requirements, subsidiary asset restrictions, dividend distribution and repayment requirements among other general requirements.

The Company may, at its election, repay the Secured Loan at any time and if so, the Company will be required to pay a prepayment premium of 2% of the outstanding amount if the Secured Loan is repaid or accelerated within the first year and 1% of the outstanding amount if the Secured Loan is repaid or accelerated within the second year. During the second fiscal quarter of 2017, the Company repaid $5.0 million of its Secured Loan. In conjunction with the payment, the Company and Cerberus entered into an amendment to the Secured Loan agreement to modify certain financial covenants and the Company paid a fee of $0.3 million.

3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due August 2016

On August 1, 2011, the Company issued the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes to certain qualified institutional buyers, or QIBs. The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes were offered and sold to the QIBs pursuant to Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Securities Act”), or Rule 144A. The net proceeds from the $100 million offering, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount and commission and the related offering costs, were approximately $96.1 million. The offering costs and the initial purchaser’s discount and commission (which are recorded in Long-term Debt) were amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over five years. The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes bore interest at a rate of 3.75% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on February 1 and August 1 of each year, beginning on February 1, 2012. The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes matured on August 1, 2016. A portion of these notes were redeemed in January 2016, and the remainder of these notes was redeemed on August 1, 2016, as discussed further below.

The 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes were issued under an Indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. Holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes may convert their 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes at any time on or after May 1, 2016 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Prior to May 1, 2016, holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes could convert their 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2011, and only during such calendar quarter, if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for each of 20 or more trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading-day period (such five consecutive trading-day period, the “Note Measurement Period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes for each trading day of that Note Measurement Period was equal to or less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of shares of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate for such trading day; (3) if the Company calls any or all of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes for redemption, at any time prior to the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the redemption date; or (4) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions as described in the Indenture. Upon conversion by holders of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes, the Company will have the right to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock of the Company or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. At any time on or prior to the 33rd business day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Company may irrevocably elect to (a) deliver solely shares of common stock of the Company in respect of the Company’s conversion obligation or (b) pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock of the Company or a combination thereof in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes being converted. The initial conversion rate was 105.5548 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $9.47 per share of the Company’s common stock).

In accordance with ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Company separately accounts for the liability and equity conversion components of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes. The principal amount of the liability component of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes was $75.9 million as of the date of issuance based on the present value of its cash flows using a discount rate of 10%, our approximate borrowing rate at the date of the issuance for a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. The carrying value of the equity conversion component was $24.1 million. A portion of the initial purchaser’s discount and commission and the offering costs totaling $0.9 million was allocated to the equity conversion component. The liability component is being accreted to the principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes using the effective interest method over five years.

In January 2016, the Company repurchased approximately $63.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes for $66.6 million in cash. In August 2016, the Company settled the remaining 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes for approximately $36.6 million aggregate principal amount and $0.7 million accrued interest for approximately $37.3 million in cash.

3.50% Convertible Senior Notes due February 2018

In February 2013, the Company issued $115.0 million aggregate principal amount of its 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes to certain Qualified Institutional Buyers or QIBs. The 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes were offered and sold to the QIBs pursuant to Rule 144A. The net proceeds from the offering, after deducting the initial purchaser’s discount and commission and the related offering costs, were approximately $110.5 million. The offering costs and the initial purchaser’s discount and commission (which are recorded in Long-term Debt) are both being amortized to interest expense using the effective interest method over five years. The 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes bear interest at a rate of 3.50% per year, payable semi-annually in arrears in cash on February 1 and August 1 of each year, which began on August 1, 2013. The 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes will mature on February 1, 2018, unless earlier repurchased, redeemed or converted.

In April 2014, through a series of transactions, the Company refinanced approximately $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes with approximately $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of the Company’s new 3.50% Series A Convertible Senior Notes due 2018 (the “3.50% Series A Convertible Notes”).

The 3.50% Convertible Notes were issued under an Indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. Holders of the 3.50% Convertible Notes may convert their 3.50% Convertible Notes at any time until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. The 3.50% Convertible Notes are convertible, as described below into common stock of the Company at an initial conversion rate equal to 187.6877 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.50% Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $5.33 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment.

Holders of the 3.50% Convertible Notes who convert their 3.50% Convertible Notes in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change”, as defined in the Indenture, may be entitled to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate. Additionally, in the event of a “fundamental change,” as defined in the Indenture, holders of the 3.50% Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 3.50% Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of 3.50% Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date.

In accordance with guidance in ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options and ASC 815-15, Embedded Derivatives, the Company determined that the embedded conversion components of the 3.50% Convertible Note do not require bifurcation and separate accounting. The remaining $44.7 million principal amount of the 3.50% Convertible Note has been recorded in Long-term Debt on the condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, 2016.

3.50% Series A Convertible Senior Notes due February 2018

On April 17, 2014, the Company entered into note exchange agreements with certain holders (the “Participating Holders”) of the 3.50% Convertible Notes to refinance approximately $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Convertible Notes with approximately $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes. Pursuant to the note exchange agreements, the Company also paid the Participating Holders an aggregate of approximately $0.4 million in cash in connection with such transactions. The principal amount of 3.50% Convertible Notes refinanced for each $1,000 principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes was $1,000 and the amount in cash paid per $1,000 principal amount of such 3.50% Convertible Notes delivered was determined in individual negotiations between the Company and each Participating Holder. The 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes have the same interest rate, maturity and other terms as the 3.50% Convertible Notes, except that the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes are convertible into cash, shares of the Company’s common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at the Company’s option.

The 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes were issued under an Indenture between the Company and The Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as trustee. Holders of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes may convert their Securities at any time on or after November 1, 2017 until the close of business on the business day immediately preceding the maturity date. Prior to November 1, 2017, holders of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes may convert their securities only under the following circumstances: (1) during any calendar quarter after the calendar quarter ending September 30, 2014, and only during such calendar quarter, if the closing sale price of the Company’s common stock for each of 20 or more trading days in the 30 consecutive trading days ending on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter exceeds 130% of the conversion price in effect on the last trading day of the immediately preceding calendar quarter; (2) during the five consecutive business days immediately after any five consecutive trading-day period (such five consecutive trading-day period, the “Note Measurement Period”) in which the trading price per $1,000 principal amount of 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes for each trading day of that Note Measurement Period was equal to or less than 98% of the product of the closing sale price of shares of the Company’s common stock and the applicable conversion rate for such trading day; or (3) upon the occurrence of specified corporate transactions as described in the Indenture. Upon conversion by holders of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes, the Company will have the right to pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock of the Company or a combination thereof, at the Company’s election. At any time on or prior to the 17th business day immediately preceding the maturity date, the Company may irrevocably elect to (a) deliver solely shares of common stock of the Company in respect of the Company’s conversion obligation or (b) pay cash up to the aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes to be converted and pay or deliver, as the case may be, cash, shares of common stock of the Company or a combination thereof in respect of the remainder, if any, of the Company’s conversion obligation in excess of the aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes being converted. The initial conversion rate is 187.6877 shares of the Company’s common stock per $1,000 principal amount of 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes (which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $5.33 per share of the Company’s common stock). The conversion rate, and thus the conversion price, is subject to adjustment as further described below.

Holders of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes who convert their notes in connection with a “make-whole fundamental change”, as defined in the Indenture, may be entitled to a make-whole premium in the form of an increase in the conversion rate. Additionally, in the event of a “fundamental change,” as defined in the Indenture, holders of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes may require the Company to purchase all or a portion of their 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes at a fundamental change repurchase price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes, plus accrued and unpaid interest, if any, to, but not including, the fundamental change repurchase date.

In accordance with Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC 470-20, Debt with Conversion and Other Options, the Company separately accounts for the liability and equity conversion components of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes. The principal amount of the liability component of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes was $62.5 million as of the date of issuance based on the present value of its cash flows using a discount rate of 7%, our approximate borrowing rate at the date of the issuance for a similar debt instrument without the conversion feature. The carrying value of the equity conversion component was $7.9 million. In addition, the portion of the cash amount paid to the Participating Holders totaling $0.4 million was allocated to the debt discount with the remaining $47,000 to the equity component. The liability component is being accreted to the principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes using the effective interest method through the maturity in February 2018.

9. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Loss

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss consist of net loss, unrealized gains and losses on available-for-sale investments, changes in foreign currency exchange rate translation and net changes related to defined benefit pension plan. These components are excluded from earnings and reported as a component of stockholders’ equity. The foreign currency translation adjustment results from those subsidiaries not using the United States dollar as their functional currency since the majority of their economic activities are primarily denominated in their applicable local currency. Accordingly, all assets and liabilities related to these operations are translated at the current exchange rates at the end of each period. The resulting cumulative translation adjustments are recorded directly to the accumulated other comprehensive loss account in stockholders’ equity. Revenues and expenses are translated at average exchange rates in effect during the period.

The components of accumulated other comprehensive loss in the equity section of the balance sheets are as follows (in thousands):

Overview

Products and Markets

We are a radiation oncology company that develops, manufactures, sells and supports precise, innovative treatment solutions which set the standard of care, with the aim of helping patients live longer, better lives. Our leading-edge technologies, the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems, and Radixact, the next generation TomoTherapy System platform are designed to deliver advanced radiation therapy including radiosurgery, stereotactic body radiation therapy, intensity modulated radiation therapy, image-guided radiation therapy and adaptive radiation therapy tailored to the specific needs of each patient. The CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems are complementary offerings serving largely separate patient populations treated by the same medical specialty, radiation oncology, with advanced capabilities that offer increased treatment flexibility to meet the needs of an expanding patient population including patients requiring retreatment with radiation therapy.

The CyberKnife Systems

The CyberKnife Systems are robotic systems designed to deliver radiosurgery treatments to cancer tumors anywhere in the body. The CyberKnife Systems are the only dedicated, full-body robotic radiosurgery systems on the market. Radiosurgery is an alternative to traditional surgery for tumors and is performed on an outpatient basis in one to five treatment sessions. It enables the treatment of patients who typically might not otherwise be treated with radiation, who may not be good candidates for surgery, or who desire non-surgical treatments. The use of radiosurgery with CyberKnife Systems to treat tumors throughout the body has grown significantly in recent years, but currently only a small portion of the patients who develop tumors treatable with CyberKnife Systems are treated with these systems. A determination of when it may or may not be appropriate to use a CyberKnife System for treatment is at the discretion of the treating physician and depends on the specific patient. However, the CyberKnife Systems are generally not used to treat (1) very large tumors, which are considerably wider than the radiation beam that can be delivered by CyberKnife Systems, (2) diffuse wide-spread disease, as is often the case for late stage cancers, because they are not localized (though CyberKnife Systems might be used to treat a focal area of the disease) and (3) systemic diseases, like leukemia and lymphoma, which are not localized to an organ, but rather involve cells throughout the body.

Table of Contents

Our CyberKnife M6 Series Systems have the option of: fixed collimator, Iris Variable Aperture Collimator and/or multi-leaf collimator, or InCise MLC. The InCise MLC is designed specifically for the M6 Series. With the addition of the InCise MLC, clinicians can deliver the same precise radiosurgery treatments they have come to expect with the CyberKnife System, faster and for a wider range of tumor types. The addition of the InCise MLC, now makes it faster and more efficient to treat a wider range of tumor types with the CyberKnife M6 Series System, including larger tumors and those with multiple sites of disease.

We believe the long term success of the CyberKnife Systems is dependent on a number of factors including the following:

· Continued adoption of our CyberKnife M6 Series Systems;

· Production and shipment of InCise MLCs that meet the standards that we, and our customers, expect in our products;

· Change in medical practice leading to utilization of stereotactic body radiosurgery more regularly as an alternative to surgery or other treatments;

· Greater awareness among doctors and patients of the benefits of radiosurgery conducted with the CyberKnife Systems;

· Continued evolution in clinical studies demonstrating the safety, efficacy and other benefits of using the CyberKnife Systems to treat tumors in various parts of the body;

· Continued advances in our technology that improve the quality of treatments and ease of use of the CyberKnife Systems;

· Receipt of regulatory approvals in various countries which are expected to improve access to radiosurgery with the CyberKnife Systems in such countries;

· Medical insurance reimbursement policies that cover CyberKnife System treatments; and

· Our ability to expand sales of CyberKnife Systems in countries throughout the world where we do not currently sell CyberKnife Systems.

TomoTherapy and Radixact Systems

The TomoTherapy Systems are advanced, fully integrated and versatile radiation therapy systems for the treatment of a wide range of cancer types. The TomoTherapy Systems are specifically designed for image-guided intensity-modulated radiation therapy (IG-IMRT). The TomoTherapy System is cleared for sale by the FDA and in most major markets globally. The TomoTherapy Systems include the TomoTherapy H Series Systems with configurations of TomoH, TomoHD and TomoHDA. Based on a CT scanner platform, the systems provide continuous delivery of radiation from 360 degrees around the patient, or delivery from clinician-specified beam angles. These unique features, combined with daily 3D image guidance, enable physicians to deliver highly accurate, individualized dose distributions which precisely conform to the shape of the patient’s tumor while minimizing dose to normal, healthy tissue, resulting in fewer side effects for the patient. The TomoTherapy Systems are capable of treating all standard radiation therapy indications including breast, prostate, lung and head and neck cancers, in addition to complex and novel treatments such as total marrow irradiation. Radiation therapy has been widely available and used in developed countries for decades, though many developing countries do not currently have a sufficient number of radiation therapy systems to adequately treat their domestic cancer patient populations. The number of radiation therapy systems in use and sold each year is currently many times larger than the number of radiosurgery systems. The new Radixact System is the next generation TomoTherapy platform and is currently approved for sale in the US, Europe, Japan and other territories. The Radixact System is a new, smart system with integrated Accuray Precision treatment planning software and the new iDMS Data Management System. The Radixact System leverages the TomoTherapy System’s efficient daily low-dose fan beam MVCT image guidance and unique ring gantry architecture, delivering precise radiation treatments for more patients, faster, with simpler, more automated workflows. We believe the TomoTherapy Systems and the Radixact System offer clinicians and patients significant benefits over other radiation therapy systems in the market. We believe our ability to capture more sales will be influenced by a number of factors including the following:

· Continued adoption of our TomoTherapy Systems and adoption of the Radixact System in markets where it is available;

· Greater awareness among doctors and patients of the unique benefits of radiation therapy using TomoTherapy and Radixact Systems because of their ring gantry architecture and ability to deliver treatment from 360 degrees around the patient;

· Advances in our technology which improve the quality of treatments and ease of use of TomoTherapy and Radixact Systems;

· Greater awareness among doctors of the now-established reliability of TomoTherapy Systems;

· Our ability to expand sales of TomoTherapy Systems in countries throughout the world; and

· Our ability to scale up commercial launch of the Radixact System in those markets where it is approved.

Sale of Our Products

Generating revenue from the sale of our systems is a lengthy process. Selling our systems, from first contact with a potential customer to a signed sales contract that meets our backlog criteria (as discussed below) varies significantly and generally spans between six months and two years. The length of time between receipt of a signed contract and revenue recognition is generally governed by the time required by the customer to build, renovate or prepare the treatment room for installation of the system.

In the United States, we primarily market directly to customers, including hospitals and stand-alone treatment facilities, through our sales organization and we also market to customers through sales agents and group purchasing organizations. Outside the United States, we market to customers directly and through distributors and sales agents. In addition to our offices in the United States, we have sales and service offices in Europe, Asia, South America, and throughout the world.

Key Metrics

Backlog

For orders that cover both products and services, only the portion of the order that is recognizable as product revenue is reported as backlog. The portion of the order that is recognized as service revenue (for example, Post-Contract Customer Support (PCS), installation, training and professional services) is not included in reported backlog. Product backlog totaled $426.2 million as of December 31, 2016 compared to $405.9 million as of June 30, 2016.

In order for the product portion of a system sales agreement to be counted as backlog, it must meet the following criteria:

· The contract is properly executed by both the customer and us. A customer purchase order that incorporates the terms of our contract quote will be considered equivalent to a signed and executed contract. The contract has either cleared all its contingencies or contained no contingencies when signed.

· We have received a minimum deposit or a letter of credit; or the sale is to a customer where a deposit is deemed not necessary or customary (i.e. sale to a government entity, a large hospital, group of hospitals or cancer care group that has sufficient credit, customers with trade-in of existing equipment, sales via tender awards, or indirect channel sales that have signed contracts with end-customers);

· The specific end customer site has been identified by the customer in the written contract or written amendment;

· Less than 2.5 years have passed since the contract met all the criteria above.

Although our backlog includes only contractual agreements with our customers for the purchase of CyberKnife Systems, TomoTherapy Systems, Radixact System and related upgrades, we cannot provide assurance that we will convert backlog into recognized revenue due primarily to factors outside of our control. The amount of backlog recognized into revenue is primarily impacted by three items: cancellations, age-outs and foreign currency fluctuations. Orders could be cancelled for reasons including, without limitation, changes in customers’ needs or financial condition, changes in government or health insurance reimbursement policies, or changes to regulatory requirements. In addition to cancellations, after 2.5 years, if we have not been able to recognize revenue on a contract, we remove the revenue associated with the contract from backlog and the order is considered aged out. Contracts may age-out for many reasons, including but not limited to, inability of the customer to pay, inability of the customer to adapt their facilities to accommodate our products in a timely manner, or inability to timely obtain licenses necessary for customer facilities or operation of our equipment. Our backlog also includes amounts not denominated in U.S. Dollars and therefore fluctuations in the U.S. Dollar as compared to other currencies will impact backlog. Generally, strengthening in the U.S. Dollar will negatively impact revenue. Backlog is stated at historical foreign currency exchange rates, and revenue is released from backlog at current exchange rates, with any difference recorded as a backlog adjustment.

Gross Orders

Gross orders are defined as the sum of new orders recorded during the period adjusted for any revisions to existing orders during the period. Net product orders are defined as gross product orders less cancellations, age-outs and foreign exchange adjustments.

Gross orders increased by $11.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015. This was a result of an increase of $10.5 million in new system order volume compared to the same prior year period. The CyberKnife System order volume drove the increase for this period and was partially offset by a decrease in order volume for the TomoTherapy System and upgrade orders and other adjustments which increased by $0.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the same prior year period.

Gross orders decreased by $3.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2015. This was a result of a decrease of $8.7 million in new system order volume compared to the same prior year period. The CyberKnife System order volume drove the decrease for this period and was partially offset by an increase in order volume for the TomoTherapy System. The decline was offset by upgrade orders and other adjustments which increased by $5.5 million in the six months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the same prior year period.

Net Orders

Net orders increased by $11.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015, resulting from the increase in gross orders of $11.4 million and foreign currency and other adjustments of $1.4 million. These increases were offset by cancellations of $0.6 million and net age-outs of $0.8 million.

· There were age-outs of $19.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, an increase of $0.8 million from the prior year period due to more systems exceeding the 2.5 year criteria specified above. The age-outs for the three months ended December 31, 2016 included $1.9 million of age-ins which represent orders that have previously aged-out but have been taken to revenue in the current period. Age-ins offset the gross amount of age-outs in a particular period.

· There were cancellations of $3.6 million and $3.0 million in the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cancellations are outside of our control and difficult to forecast; however, we continue to work closely with our customers to minimize the impact of cancellations on our business.

· Currency impacts resulted in a decrease in net orders of $0.9 million and $2.3 million in the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Net orders increased by $3.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2015, resulting from fewer net age-outs of $7.0 million and positive currency impacts of $1.1 million. These items were partially offset by increased cancellations of $1.1 million and a decline in gross orders of $3.2 million as compared to the same prior year period.

· There were net age-outs of $30.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016, a decrease of $7.0 million from the prior year period due to fewer systems exceeding the 2.5 year criteria specified above. The age-outs of $30.6 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016 included age-ins of $1.9 million which would represent orders that have previously aged-out but have been taken to revenue in the current period. Age-ins offset the gross amount of age-outs in a particular period.

· There were cancellations of $7.1 million and $6.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively. Cancellations are outside of our control and difficult to forecast; however, we continue to work closely with our customers to minimize the impact of cancellations on our business.

· Currency impacts resulted in an increase in net orders of $0.1 million and a decrease in net orders of $1.0 million in the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively.

Table of Contents

Currently, we expect age-outs in the third quarter of this fiscal year to be approximately $11.0 million as compared to $19.9 million in age-outs recorded during the three months ended December 31, 2016.

(a) Expressed as a percentage of total net revenue, except for product and services gross profits which are expressed as a percentage of related product and services revenue.

Net Revenue

Product Net Revenue. Product net revenue decreased by $20.4 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to a decrease of $18.3 million in revenue from system sales resulting from a shift in product and channel mix as we had fewer units of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy systems taken to revenue as compared to the same period in the prior year. As our CyberKnife systems generally have a higher average sale price, the overall net product revenue decreased year-over-year. In addition, the decrease in revenue is attributable to a slight increase in the revenue conversion process mainly resulting from a higher percentage of order growth in our distributor channels which results in less control over the timing of revenue. There was also a decrease of $2.1 million in upgrade and other revenue as compared to the prior year period. From time to time, we may amend sales agreements for system orders in backlog between Accuray and our distributors in order to shift responsibility of the installation of the system from us to the distributor. In such cases, the total purchase price of the system will be reduced accordingly as negotiated with the distributor on a case by case basis. This may result in us recognizing revenue for such systems earlier than previously anticipated. For the quarter ended December 31, 2016, the amount of revenue recognized as a result of such amendments accounted for less than 5% of our total revenue.

Product net revenue decreased by $24.8 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2015, primarily due to a decrease of $21.4 million revenue from new system sales resulting from product and channel mix as we had fewer units of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy systems taken to revenue as compared to the same period in the prior year. As our CyberKnife systems generally have a higher average sale price, the overall net product revenue decreased year-over-year. In addition, the decrease in revenue is attributable to a slight increase in the revenue conversion process mainly resulting from a higher percentage of order growth in our distributor channels which results in less control over the timing of revenue. There was also a decrease of $3.4 million in upgrade and other revenue as compared to the prior year period.

Services Net Revenue. Services net revenue decreased by $1.0 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015. The decrease was driven by decreased installation and spare parts revenue of $1.9 million and a decrease in training revenue of $2.3 million. These decreases were offset by increased PCS revenue of $3.2 million due to an increased install base.

Table of Contents

Services net revenue increased by $0.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016, as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2015. The increase was driven by increased PCS revenue of $4.4 million due to an increased install base and was offset by a decrease in training revenue of $1.5 million, spare parts revenue of $1.5 million and installation revenue of $1.2 million.

Percentage of net revenue by geographic region, based on the shipping location of our customers, is as follows (in thousands, except percentages):

	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	December 31,						December 31,
	2016			2015			2016			2015

Asia Pacific (excluding Japan and India)	10		%	14		%	12		%	16		%
Japan	16		%	6		%	15		%	6		%

Revenue derived from sales outside of the Americas region was $48.3 million and $57.9 million for the three months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and represented 55% and 53% of our net revenue during these periods, respectively. Revenue derived from sales outside of the Americas region was $94.2 million and $102.3 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015, respectively, and represented 54% and 52% of our net revenue during these periods, respectively.

Gross Profit

Overall gross profit for the three months ended December 31, 2016, decreased $11.2 million, or 26%, as compared to the three months ended December 31, 2015. Product gross profit decreased 46%, or $10.6 million, primarily due to the decrease in systems taken to revenue as well as lower margins due to product and channel mix. Service gross profit decreased 3%, or $0.6 million, as a result of lower service revenues of $1.0 million, partially offset by decreased service costs of $0.4 million resulting from reductions in departmental spending due to headcount decreases and lower parts utilization.

Overall gross profit for the six months ended December 31, 2016, decreased $13.7 million, or 18%, as compared to the six months ended December 31, 2015. Product gross profit decreased 38%, or $15.3 million, primarily due to the decrease in systems taken to revenue as well as lower margins due to product and channel mix. Service gross profit increased 4%, or $1.6 million, as a result of higher service revenues of $0.2 million and decreased service costs of $1.4 million resulting from reductions in departmental spending due to headcount decreases and lower parts utilization.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses were $11.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $14.9 million in the three months ended December 31, 2015, which represents a decrease of $3.0 million, or 20%. The decrease was primarily due to a $1.2 million decrease in consulting fees as a result of completion of roadmap development projects and decreased compensation related expenses of $0.9 million due to lower headcount and delays in hiring as compared with the prior fiscal year period. Additionally, there was a decrease of $0.4 million in project-related expenses due to deferral of certain projects as well as a decrease of $0.5 million in IT and facilities allocated expenses.

Research and development expenses were $24.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to $29.2 million in the six months ended December 31, 2015, which represents a decrease of $5.1 million, or 17%. The decrease was primarily due to a $2.3 million decrease in consulting fees as a result of completion of roadmap development projects and decreased compensation related expenses of $1.3 million due to lower headcount and delays in hiring as compared with the prior fiscal period. Additionally, there was a decrease of $0.6 million in project-related expenses due to deferral of certain projects as well as a decrease of $0.9 million in IT and facilities allocated expenses.

Selling and Marketing

Selling and marketing expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2016 were $13.9 million as compared to $15.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, which represents a decrease of $1.2 million, or 8%. The decrease was primarily because of $1.4 million in lower marketing related expenses driven primarily by the timing of tradeshows as well as a decrease in compensation costs of $0.2 million. These decreases were offset by higher outside services costs of $0.4 million related to new marketing programs.

Table of Contents

Selling and marketing expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2016 were $28.2 million as compared to $28.5 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015, which represents a decrease of $0.3 million, or 1%. The decrease was primarily because of a $1.4 million lower compensation expense related to a decrease in commission expense. The decrease was offset by higher outside services costs of $0.7 million related to new marketing programs and $0.3 million in marketing expenses related to trade shows and $0.1 million in IT and facilities allocated expenses.

General and Administrative

General and administrative expenses for the three months ended December 31, 2016 were $10.4 million as compared to $12.7 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, which represents a decrease of $2.3 million, or 18%. This decrease was mainly attributable to $2.5 million in lower legal fees associated with litigation settlements in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016 as described in Note 7 to the financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016. In addition, personnel related expenses decreased $0.2 million due to lower bonus accruals as compared to the same period in the prior year, as well as lower outside services costs of $0.3 million. These decrease were partially offset by higher IT and facilities allocated expenses of $0.6 million.

General and administrative expenses for the six months ended December 31, 2016 were $21.7 million as compared to $26.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015, which represents a decrease of $4.4 million, or 17%. This decrease was mainly attributable to $5.7 million in lower legal fees associated with litigation settlements in the first and second quarter of fiscal year 2016 as described in Note 7 to the financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016. This decrease was partially offset by increased employee compensation expenses of $0.1 million and higher IT and facilities allocated expenses of $1.2 million.

Other Expense, net

Other expense, net for the three months ended December 31, 2016 was $4.1 million as compared to $5.1 million for the three months ended December 31, 2015, which represents a decrease of $1.0 million, or 19%. There was a decrease in interest expense of $1.0 million due to the settlement of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. In addition, there was a decrease in foreign exchange losses of $0.3 million, related primarily to foreign exchange hedging activities. These decreases were offset by a $0.3 million fee related to the amendment of certain covenants to our Secured Loan.

Other expense, net for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $8.1 million as compared to $10.2 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015, which represents a decrease of $2.1 million, or 20%. There was a decrease in interest expense of $1.5 million due to the settlement of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes in the first quarter of fiscal 2017. In addition, there was a decrease in foreign exchange losses of $0.8 million, related primarily to foreign exchange hedging activities. These decreases were offset by a $0.3 million fee related to the amendment of certain covenants to our Secured Loan.

Provision for Income Taxes

On a quarterly basis, the Company provides for income taxes based upon an estimated annual effective income tax rate. The Company recognized income taxes expense of $0.4 million and an income tax benefit of $0.2 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively. Income tax expense was $0.8 million and $1.5 million for the three and six months ended December 31, 2015, respectively. The decrease in tax expense for the three and six months ended December 31, 2016 as compared to the prior year comparable periods was due to a decrease in foreign earnings. In addition, the decline in income tax expense for the six months ended December 31, 2016 was attributable to the recognition of an income tax benefit of approximately $1.4 million in the first quarter of fiscal 2017 as a result of the completion of tax audits by the Swiss authorities for the period from fiscal 2011 through fiscal 2015.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

At December 31, 2016, we had $69.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $38.9 million in short-term investments, for a total of $108.4 million. Refer to Note 8, “Debt” to the condensed consolidated financial statements for discussion of the Convertible Notes and our Senior Secured Term Loan. Based on our current business plan and revenue prospects, we believe that we will have sufficient cash resources and anticipated cash flows to fund our operations for at least the next 12 months.

Table of Contents

As of December 31, 2016, we had approximately $55.6 million of cash and cash equivalents at our foreign subsidiaries. The earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are considered to be indefinitely reinvested outside the U.S. and unavailable for distribution in the form of dividends or otherwise. Accordingly, no provisions for U.S. income taxes have been provided thereon. We anticipate that we have adequate liquidity and capital resources for the next twelve months and do not anticipate the need to repatriate the undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries at December 31, 2016.

Our cash flows for the six months ended December 31, 2016 and 2015 are summarized as follows (in thousands):

Cash Flows From Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $11.4 million, as compared to $20.3 million provided by operating activities in the six months ended December 31, 2015. Net cash used in operating activities in the six months ended December 31, 2016 was primarily related to:

· Net loss, offset by non-cash items of $18.6 million related to depreciation of fixed assets, amortization of intangible assets, share-based compensation, amortization and accretion of discount and premium on investments, amortization of debt issuance costs, accretion of interest on long-term debt, provision for doubtful accounts receivable and provision for excess and obsolete inventory;

· Decrease in restricted cash of $0.4 million due to releases of restrictions on cash related to VAT related guarantees;

· Increase in accounts receivable of $15.8 million as a result of the timing of revenue transactions in the second quarter of fiscal 2017, which collections are primarily expected in the third fiscal quarter of 2017;

· Increase in inventories of $2.6 million due to increases in purchases in the second quarter of fiscal year 2017 to support expected future Radixact sales and service needs that will begin to be utilized in the third fiscal quarter of 2017;

· Decrease in deferred revenue of $5.3 million primarily due to the timing of the sale transactions during the second quarter of fiscal year 2017;

· Decrease in deferred cost of revenue of $1.5 million primarily due to the release of costs upon revenue recognition;

· Increase in accounts payable of $10.1 million primarily due to timing of payments as there was fewer large value payments at the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2017;

· Decrease in accrued liabilities of $3.4 million primarily related to a decrease in loan interest accrual of $1.1 million due to the settlement of the 3.75% Senior Notes in August 2016, a decrease in compensation related accruals of $2.4 million offset by an increase in accruals for taxes of $0.1 million; and

· Increase in customer advances of $3.1 million due mainly to increases in new customer orders.

· Decrease in accounts receivable of $11.0 million as a result of collections on customer accounts in excess of billings resulting from significant sales transactions in the fourth fiscal quarter of 2015 that were collected in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016, partially offset by a higher volume of invoicing as compared to payments in the second quarter of fiscal year 2016;

· Increase in inventories of $5.7 million due to increases in purchases in the first half of fiscal year 2016 to support expected future sales and service needs that began to be utilized in the second half of fiscal 2016;

· Increase in prepaid expenses and other assets of $3.5 million primarily due to an increase in long-term accounts receivable of $6.5 million due to several large revenue contracts with extended payment terms. This was partially offset by a decrease of $1.4 million due to the settlement of value-add taxes in foreign locations, reduction of other prepaids of $0.7 million due to the release of vendor advances and amortization of prepayments for the ASTRO tradeshow offset by new additions, and a reduction in prepaid benefit and other costs of $0.9 million due to the timing of payments;

· Increase in deferred cost of revenue of $2.7 million primarily due to the timing of inventory transfers to customers;

· Increase in accounts payable of $6.7 million primarily due to an increase in inventory purchasing activities in the first half of fiscal year 2016 and timing of payments as there was more large value payment activity at the end of prior year as compared with the end of the second quarter of fiscal year 2016;

· Increase in accrued liabilities of $5.4 million primarily related to an increase in legal accruals of $5.7 million due to litigation settlements as well as an increase in the bonus accrual of $1.1 million for the first half of fiscal 2016. These increases were partially offset by decreased revenue related accruals of $1.4 million due to the timing of payments; and

· Increase in customer advances of $0.3 million due mainly to payments received for future revenue deliverables.

Cash Flows From Investing Activities

Net cash provided by investing activities was $5.1 million for the six months ended December 31, 2016, which primarily consisted of the sales and maturities of investments of $23.2 million, offset by the purchases of short-term investments of $15.0 million and purchases of property and equipment of $3.1 million.

Net cash used in investing activities was $7.7 million for the six months ended December 31, 2015, which primarily consisted of purchases of short-term investments of $33.1 million and purchases of property and equipment of $4.1 million partially offset by sales and maturities of investments of $29.5 million.

Cash Flows From Financing Activities

Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2016 was $41.2 million, which was primarily due to $36.6 million in payments made to convertible note holders for the settlement of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and the $5.0 million early payment on the Secured Loan as discussed in Note 8 to the financial statements. In addition, there were $2.1 million in proceeds from employee stock plans which was partially offset by $0.7 million taxes paid related to net share settlements of equity awards.

Table of Contents

Net cash used in financing activities during the six months ended December 31, 2015 was $0.8 million from proceeds from employee stock plans offset by taxes paid related to net share settlement or equity awards.

Operating Capital and Capital Expenditure Requirements

Our future capital requirements depend on numerous factors. These factors include but are not limited to the following:

· Revenue generated by sales of our products and service plans;

· Costs associated with our sales and marketing initiatives and manufacturing activities;

· Facilities, equipment and IT systems required to support current and future operations;

· Rate of progress and cost of our research and development activities;

· Costs of obtaining and maintaining FDA and other regulatory clearances of our products;

· Effects of competing technological and market developments; and

· Number and timing of acquisitions and other strategic transactions.

We believe that our current cash, cash equivalents and investments will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash needs for working capital and capital expenditures for at least 12 months. If our cash and cash equivalents are insufficient to satisfy our liquidity requirements, we may seek to sell additional equity or debt securities or obtain additional credit facilities. The sale of additional equity or convertible debt securities could result in dilution to our stockholders. If additional funds are raised through the issuance of debt securities, these securities could have rights senior to those associated with our common stock and could contain covenants that would restrict our operations. Additional financing may not be available in amounts or on terms acceptable to us or at all. If we are unable to obtain this additional financing, we may be required to reduce the scope of our planned product development and marketing efforts.

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

We presented our contractual obligations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016. As discussed in Note 8, in August 2016, we settled the remaining approximately $36.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and accrued interest for $37.3 million in cash. In November 2016, we also repaid $5.0 million of our Secured Loan. In addition, we signed a lease extension in October 2016 on our Madison, Wisconsin facility through 2025, which would have expired in 2018 (Refer to Note 6 — Commitments and Contingencies for a detail schedule of lease obligations). Except for the change in debt and lease obligations, there have been no material changes outside of the ordinary course of business in those obligations during the six months ended December 31, 2016.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of December 31, 2016.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

The discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations is based on our condensed consolidated financial statements, which have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires management to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the consolidated financial statements, as well as revenue and expenses during the reporting periods. We evaluate our estimates and judgments on an ongoing basis. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other factors we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying value of assets and liabilities. Actual results could therefore differ materially from those estimates if actual conditions differ from our assumptions.

Table of Contents

During the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, we considered our estimated corporate bonus accrual to be a critical accounting estimate. The Company’s bonus accrual for each quarter is based on its performance against Company defined metrics: net revenue, adjusted EBITDA and gross orders to backlog. There have been no changes to the critical accounting policies and estimates, as discussed in Part II, Item 7 of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016, which we believe are those related to revenue recognition, assessment of recoverability of goodwill and intangible assets, valuation of inventories, share-based compensation expense, income taxes, allowance for doubtful accounts and loss contingencies.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We do not utilize derivative financial instruments, derivative commodity instruments or other market risk sensitive instruments, positions or transactions for trading or speculative purposes.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

A portion of our net sales are denominated in foreign currencies, most notably the EURO and the Japanese Yen. Future fluctuations in the value of the U.S. dollar may affect the price competitiveness of our products outside the United States. For direct sales outside the United States, we sell in both U.S. dollars and local currencies, which could expose us to additional foreign currency risks. Our operating expenses in countries outside the United States are payable in foreign currencies and therefore expose us to currency risk, such as risks related to fluctuations in foreign currencies. To the extent that management can predict the timing of payments under sales contracts or for operating expenses that are denominated in foreign currencies, we may engage in hedging transactions to mitigate such risks in the future. We expect the changes in the fair value of the net foreign currency assets arising from fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates to be materially offset by the changes in the fair value of the forward contracts. As of December 31, 2016, we had no open forward contracts and all open positions had been settled.

The purpose of these forward contracts is to minimize the risk associated with foreign exchange rate fluctuations. We have developed a foreign exchange policy to govern our forward contracts. These foreign currency forward contracts do not qualify as cash flow hedges and all changes in fair value are reported in earnings as part of other income and expenses. We have not entered into any other types of derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purpose. Our foreign currency forward contract valuation inputs are based on quoted prices and quoted pricing intervals from public data and do not involve management judgment.

Interest Rate Risk

We maintain an investment portfolio of various holdings, types and maturities. These securities are generally classified as available for sale and consequently, are recorded on the balance sheet at fair value with unrealized gains and losses reported as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income. At any time, a sharp rise or decline in interest rates could have a material adverse impact on the fair value of our investment portfolio. Likewise, increases and decreases in interest rates could have a material impact on interest earnings for our portfolio. The following table presents the hypothetical change in fair values in the financial instruments we held at December 31, 2016 that are sensitive to changes in interest rates. The modeling technique used measures the change in fair values arising from selected potential changes in interest rates on our investment portfolio, which had a fair value of $38.9 million at December 31, 2016. Market changes reflect immediate hypothetical parallel shifts in the yield curve of plus or minus 100, 75, 50 and 25 basis points (in thousands):

	Decrease in interest rates								Increase in interest rates
Change in interest rate	-100 BPS		-75 BPS		-50 BPS		-25 BPS		25 BPS			50 BPS			75 BPS			100 BPS
Unrealized gain (loss)	$	373	$	286	$	191	$	95	$	(96	)	$	(191	)	$	(287	)	$	(383	)

Equity Price Risk

On April 24, 2014, we issued approximately $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes. Upon conversion, we can settle the obligation by issuing our common stock, cash or a combination thereof at an initial conversion rate equal to 187.6877 shares of common stock per $1,000 principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes, which is equivalent to a conversion price of approximately $5.33 per share of common stock, subject to adjustment. There is no equity price risk if the share price of our common stock is below $5.33 upon conversion of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes. For every $1 that the share price of our common stock exceeds $5.33, we expect to issue an additional $13.2 million in cash or shares of our common stock, or a combination thereof, if all of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Notes are converted.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of December 31, 2016. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that as of December 31, 2016 our disclosure controls and procedures were effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed by us in the reports we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

During the three months ended December 31, 2016, there was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitations of Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

Internal control over financial reporting cannot provide absolute assurance of achieving financial reporting objectives because of its inherent limitations. Internal control over financial reporting is a process that involves human diligence and compliance and is subject to lapses in judgment and breakdowns resulting from human failures. Internal control over financial reporting also can be circumvented by collusion or improper management override. Because of such limitations, there is a risk that material misstatements may not be prevented or detected on a timely basis by internal control over financial reporting. However, these inherent limitations are known features of the financial reporting process. Therefore, it is possible to design into the process safeguards to reduce, though not eliminate, this risk. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and in reaching a reasonable level of assurance, management is required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings.

Please refer to Note 6, Commitments and Contingencies, to the condensed consolidated financial statements above for a description of certain legal proceedings currently pending against the Company. From time to time we are involved in legal proceedings arising in the ordinary course of our business.

Item 1A. Risk Factors.

A description of the risk factors associated with our business is included under “Risk Factors” contained in Part I, Item 1A of our Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2016. The descriptions below include material changes to the risk factors affecting our business that were previously disclosed in such filings. Any risk factor included below supersedes the description of the relevant risk factor in such filings. Other than the items discussed below, there have been no material changes in our risk factors since such filings.

We have a large accumulated deficit, may incur future losses and may be unable to achieve profitability.

As of December 31, 2016, we had an accumulated deficit of $440.1 million. We may incur net losses in the future, particularly as we improve our selling and marketing activities. Our ability to achieve and sustain long-term profitability is largely dependent on our ability to successfully market and sell the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems, control our costs and effectively manage our growth. We cannot assure you that we will be able to achieve profitability. In the event we fail to achieve profitability, our stock price could decline.

Our operating results, including our quarterly orders, revenues and margins fluctuate from quarter to quarter and may be unpredictable, which may result in a decline in our stock price.

We have experienced and expect in the future to experience fluctuations in our operating results, including gross orders, revenues and margins, from period to period. Drivers of orders include the introduction and timing of announcement of new products or product enhancements by us and our competitors, as well as changes or anticipated changes in third-party reimbursement amounts or policies applicable to treatments using our products. The availability of economic stimulus packages or other government funding, or reductions thereof, may also affect timing of customer purchases. Our products have a high unit price and require significant capital expenditures by our customers. Accordingly, we experience long sales and implementation cycles, which is of greater concern during the current volatile economic environment where we have had customers delaying or cancelling orders. When orders are placed, installation, delivery or shipping, as applicable, is accomplished and the revenues recognized affect our quarterly results. Further, because of the high unit price of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems and the relatively small number of units sold or installed each quarter, each sale or installation of a CyberKnife or TomoTherapy System can represent a significant percentage of our net orders, backlog or revenue for a particular quarter.

Once orders are received and booked into backlog, factors that may affect whether these orders become revenue (or are cancelled or deemed aged-out and reflected as a reduction in net orders) and the timing of revenue include:

· delays in the customer obtaining funding or financing;

· delays in construction at the customer site; or

· delays in the customer obtaining receipt of local or foreign regulatory approvals such as certificates of need in certain states or Class A user licenses in China.

Our operating results may also be affected by a number of other factors some of which are outside of our control, including:

· timing of when we are able to recognize revenue associated with sales of the CyberKnife and TomoTherapy Systems, which varies depending upon the terms of the applicable sales and service contracts;

· the proportion of revenue attributable to our legacy service plans;

· timing and level of expenditures associated with new product development activities;

· regulatory requirements in some states for a certificate of need prior to the installation of a radiation device;

· delays in shipment due, for example, to unanticipated construction delays at customer locations where our products are to be installed, cancellations by customers, natural disasters or labor disturbances;

· delays in our manufacturing processes or unexpected manufacturing difficulties

· the timing of the announcement, introduction and delivery of new products or product upgrades by us and by our competitors;

· timing and level of expenditures associated with expansion of sales and marketing activities such as trade shows and our overall operations; and

· how fluctuations in our gross margins and the factors that contribute to such fluctuations, as described in the Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.

Because many of our operating expenses are based on anticipated sales and a high percentage of these expenses are fixed for the short term, a small variation in the timing of revenue recognition can cause significant variations in operating results from quarter to quarter. Our overall gross margins are impacted by a number of factors described in our risk factor entitled “Our ability to achieve profitability depends in part on maintaining or increasing our gross margins on product sales and services, which we may not be able to achieve.” If our financial results fall below the expectation of securities analysts and investors, the trading price of our common stock would almost certainly decline.

We report on a quarterly and annual basis our orders and backlog. Unlike revenues, orders and backlog are not defined by U.S. GAAP, and are not within the scope of the audit conducted by our independent registered public accounting firm; therefore, investors should not interpret our orders or backlog in such a manner. Also, for the reasons discussed in Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations, our orders and backlog cannot necessarily be relied upon as accurate predictors of future revenues. Order cancellation or significant delays in installation date will reduce our backlog and future revenues, and we cannot predict if or when orders will mature into revenues. Particularly high levels of cancellations or age-outs in one or more periods may cause our revenue and gross margins to decline in current or future periods and will make it difficult to compare our operating results from quarter to quarter.

As a strategy to assist our sales efforts, we may offer extended payment terms, which may potentially result in higher Days Sales Outstanding and greater payment defaults.

We offer longer or extended payment terms for qualified customers in some circumstances. As of December 31, 2016, customer contracts with extended payment terms of more than one year amounted to approximately 8% of our accounts receivable balance. While we qualify customers to whom we offer longer or extended payment terms, their financial positions may change adversely over the longer time period given for payment. This may result in an increase in payment defaults, which would affect our revenue, as we recognize revenue on such transactions on a cash basis.

Our liquidity could be adversely impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

At December 31, 2016, we had $69.5 million in cash and cash equivalents and $38.9 million in investments. The available cash and cash equivalents are held in accounts managed by third-party financial institutions and consist of cash in our operating accounts and cash invested in money market funds. The investments are managed by third-party financial institutions and primarily consist of U.S. agency and corporate debt securities. To date, we have experienced no material realized losses on or lack of access to our invested cash, cash equivalents or investments; however, we can provide no assurances that access to our invested cash and cash equivalents will not be impacted by adverse conditions in the financial markets.

At any point in time, we also have funds in our operating accounts that are with third-party financial institutions that exceed the Federal Deposit Insurance Corporation (FDIC) insurance limits. While we monitor daily the cash balances in our operating accounts and adjust the cash balances as appropriate, these cash balances could be impacted if the underlying financial institutions fail or become subject to other adverse conditions in the financial markets. To date, we have experienced no loss or lack of access to cash in our operating accounts.

Our major stockholders own approximately 40.5% and directors and executive officers own approximately 3.2% of our outstanding common stock as of December 31, 2016, which could limit other stockholders’ ability to influence the outcome of key transactions, including changes of control.

As of December 31, 2016, our major stockholders who each hold 5% or more of our outstanding common stock held in the aggregate approximately 40.5% of our outstanding common stock, while our directors and executive officers held in the aggregate approximately 3.2% of our outstanding common stock. This concentration of ownership may delay, deter or prevent a change of control of our company and will make some transactions more difficult or impossible without the support of these stockholders.

Increased leverage as a result of the Convertible Notes offering and Term Loan may harm our financial condition and operating results.

As of December 31, 2016, we had total consolidated liabilities of approximately $368.5 million, including the short-term liability component of the Term Loan of $3.5 million, and the long-term liability component of the 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes in the amount of $43.6 million and the 3.50% Series A Convertible Senior Notes of $67.7 million as well as the Term Loan in the amount of $58.8 million.

In April 2014, we refinanced approximately $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Convertible Senior Notes held by certain investors (the “Participating Holders”) with approximately $70.3 million aggregate principal amount of the 3.50% Series A Convertible Senior Notes. In connection with such transactions, we also paid the Participating Holders approximately $0.4 million in cash.

On January 11, 2016, the Company closed a $70.0 million debt financing agreement with Cerberus Business Finance, LLC, an affiliate of Cerberus Capital Management, L.P (the “Secured Loan”). The net proceeds of the loan were required to be used, in addition to $30.0 million of cash funded by the Company, to retire $100.0 million of Convertible Senior Notes at the earlier of August 2016 or when otherwise redeemed. This financing consists of a $70.0 million first lien senior secured term loan with a 700 basis point margin and 1 percent LIBOR floor. The loan principal amount will be amortized at an effective rate of 9.6% annually with final payment due in 5 years and is subject to certain maintenance-based covenants. The Secured Loan also includes certain financial covenants, customary events of default, and other customary covenants that limit, among other things, the ability of the Company and its subsidiaries to (i) incur indebtedness, (ii) incur liens on their property, (iii) pay dividends or make other distributions, (iv) sell their assets, (v) make certain loans or investments, (vi) merge or consolidate, (vii) voluntarily repay or prepay certain indebtedness and (viii) enter into transactions with affiliates, in each case subject to certain exceptions. As required by the terms of the financing, upon the closing of the financing in January 2016, we used a portion of the net proceeds from the financing to repurchase approximately $63.4 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes for $66.6 million in cash. In August 2016, we settled the remaining approximately $36.6 million in aggregate principal amount of the 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes and accrued interest for $37.3 million in cash.

Our level of indebtedness could have important consequences to stockholders and note holders, because:

· it could affect our ability to satisfy our obligations under the Convertible Notes;

· a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations will have to be dedicated to interest and principal payments and may not be available for operations, working capital, capital expenditures, expansion, acquisitions or general corporate or other purposes;

· it may impair our ability to obtain additional financing in the future;

· it may limit our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and industry; and

· it may make us more vulnerable to downturns in our business, our industry or the economy in general.
