HARMONIC INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
NOTE 1: BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Basis of Presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
include all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) which Harmonic Inc.
(Harmonic, or the Company) considers necessary for a fair presentation of the results of
operations for the interim periods covered and the consolidated financial condition of the Company
at the date of the balance sheets. This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction
with the Companys audited consolidated financial statements contained in the Companys Annual
Report on Form 10-K, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on March 1, 2010.
The interim results presented herein are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations
that may be expected for the full fiscal year ending December 31, 2010, or any other future period.
The Companys fiscal quarters are based on 13-week periods, except for the fourth quarter which
ends on December 31.
The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its
subsidiaries. All significant intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in
consolidation. The year-end condensed balance sheet was derived from audited financial statements,
but does not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the
United States of America.
Use of Estimates. The preparation of the consolidated financial statements in conformity with
generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America requires management to
make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and
disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the
reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting period. Actual results could differ
from those estimates.
Reclassifications. The Company has reclassified certain prior period balances to conform to the
current year presentation. These reclassifications have no impact on previously reported total
assets, total liabilities, stockholders equity, results of operations or cash flows.
NOTE 2: RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In October 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance for revenue recognition with multiple
deliverables. This guidance impacts the determination of when the individual deliverables included
in a multiple-element arrangement may be treated as separate units of accounting. Additionally,
this guidance modifies the manner in which the transaction consideration is allocated across the
separately identified deliverables by no longer permitting the residual method of allocating
arrangement consideration. This revised guidance is effective beginning in the first quarter of
fiscal year 2011; however early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the
potential impact, if any, of the adoption of the revised accounting guidance on its consolidated
results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In October 2009, the FASB issued revised guidance for the accounting for certain revenue
arrangements that include software elements. This guidance amends the scope of pre-existing
software revenue guidance by removing from the guidance non-software components of tangible
products and certain software components of tangible products. This revised guidance is effective
for us beginning in the first quarter of fiscal year 2011; however early adoption is permitted. The
Company is currently evaluating the potential impact, if any, of the adoption of the revised
accounting guidance on its consolidated results of operations, financial condition and cash flows.
In January 2010, the FASB issued updated guidance related to fair value measurements and
disclosures, which requires a reporting entity to disclose separately the amounts of significant
transfers in and out of Level 1 and Level 2 fair value measurements and to describe the reasons for
the transfers. In addition, in the reconciliation for fair value measurements using significant
unobservable inputs, or Level 3, a reporting entity should disclose separately information about
purchases, sales, issuances and settlements (that is, on a gross basis rather than one net number).
The updated guidance also requires that an entity provide fair value measurement disclosures
for each class of assets and liabilities and disclosures about the valuation techniques and inputs
used to measure fair value for both recurring and non-recurring fair value measurements for Level 2
and Level 3 fair value measurements. The updated guidance is effective for interim or annual
financial reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2009, except for the disclosures about
7
Table of Contents
purchases, sales, issuances and settlements in the roll forward activity in Level 3 fair value
measurements, which are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2010 and for
interim periods within those fiscal years. The adoption of the
interim reporting requirements by the Company in the first quarter of 2010
did not have a material impact on its consolidated results of operations or financial condition.
NOTE 3: ACQUISITIONS
Omneon
On May 6, 2010, Harmonic entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Omneon Inc., a
privately-held company headquartered in Sunnyvale, California and organized under the laws of
Delaware. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Harmonic would acquire
Omneon for (i) $190 million in cash plus the aggregate exercise price of vested stock options of
Omneon, and subject to further adjustment based on Omneons cash, cash equivalents and restricted
cash position and working capital position at the time of closing, and (ii) 17.1 million shares of
Harmonic common stock. This represents a total purchase value of approximately $274 million, based
on the closing price of Harmonic common stock on May 5, 2010, net of cash to be acquired of
approximately $32 million. The cash portion of the purchase price is subject to adjustment in the
event that Omneons cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are more or less than $32 million at
closing and is also subject to a working capital adjustment. All unvested stock options and
unvested restricted stock units issued by Omneon and outstanding at closing will be assumed by
Harmonic. The proposed acquisition is subject to the approval of Omneons stockholders, and
Harmonic has entered into voting agreements with holders of approximately 66% of Omneons
outstanding shares of capital stock, pursuant to which such Omneon stockholders agree to vote in
favor of the transaction. The proposed acquisition is also subject to other customary closing
conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the second half of 2010.
The Company has incurred a total of $2.4 million of transaction expenses, which were expensed as
selling, general and administrative expenses in the second quarter of 2010.
The proposed acquisition of Omneon is intended to strengthen Harmonics competitive position in the
digital media market and to broaden the Companys relationships with customers who produce and
distribute digital video content, such as broadcasters, cable channels and other major owners of
content. The acquisition is also intended to broaden Harmonics technology and product lines with
digital storage and play-out solutions which complement Harmonics existing video processing
products.
Scopus
On March 12, 2009, Harmonic completed the acquisition of 100% of the equity interests of Scopus
Video Networks Ltd., or Scopus, a publicly traded company based in Israel. Scopus was engaged in
the development and support of digital video networking products that allowed network operators to
transmit, process, and manage digital video content. Scopus primary products included integrated
receivers/decoders (IRD), intelligent video gateways (IVG), and encoders. In addition, Scopus
marketed multiplexers, network management systems (NMS), and other ancillary technology to its
customers.
The acquisition of Scopus strengthened Harmonics technology and market leadership, particularly in
the broadcast contribution and distribution markets. The acquisition extended Harmonics
diversification strategy, providing it with an expanded international sales force and global
customer base, particularly in video broadcast, contribution and distribution markets, as well as
complementary video processing technology and expanded research and development capability. In
addition, the acquisition provided an assembled workforce, the implicit value of future cost
savings as a result of combining entities, and is expected to provide Harmonic with future
unidentified new products and technologies. These opportunities were significant factors to the
establishment of the purchase price, which exceeded the fair value of Scopus net tangible and
intangible assets acquired resulting in goodwill of approximately $22.8 million that was recorded
in connection with this acquisition.
The purchase price, net of $23.3 million of cash acquired, was $63.1 million, which was paid from
existing cash balances. The Company also incurred a total of $3.4 million of transaction expenses,
which were expensed as selling, general and administrative expenses in the first quarter of 2009.
There were no contingent consideration arrangements in connection with the acquisition.
The assets and liabilities of Scopus were recorded at fair value at the date of acquisition.
Further, any associated restructuring activities will be expensed in future periods and not
recorded through purchase accounting as previously done under prior accounting
8
Table of Contents
guidance. Subsequent to the acquisition, the Company recorded expenses of $8.2 million in the year
ended December 31, 2009, primarily for excess and obsolete inventories related to product
discontinuances and severance costs.
The results of operations of Scopus are included in Harmonics Consolidated Statements of
Operations from March 12, 2009, the date of acquisition. The following table summarizes the
allocation of the purchase price based on the fair value of the assets acquired and the liabilities
assumed at the date of acquisition:

The purchase price set forth in the table above was based on the fair value of the tangible
and intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed as of March 12, 2009. The Company used an
overall discount rate of 16% to estimate the fair value of the intangible assets acquired, which
was derived based on financial metrics of comparable companies operating in Scopus industry. In
determining the appropriate discount rates to use in valuing each of the individual intangible
assets, the Company adjusted the weighted average cost of capital of 16% giving consideration to
the specific risk factors of each asset. The following methods were used to value the identified
intangible assets:
| The fair value of the existing technology assets acquired was established based on their highest and best used by a market participant using the Income Approach. The Income Approach included an analysis of the markets, cash flows and risks associated with achieving such cash flows to calculate the fair value. As of the acquisition date, Scopus was developing new versions and incremental improvements to its IRD, encoder and IVG products; | ||
| The in-process projects were at a stage of development that required further research and development to determine technical feasibility and commercial viability. The fair value of the in-process technology assets acquired was based on the valuation premise that the assets would be In-Use using a discounted cash flow model; | ||
| The fair value of patents/core technology assets acquired was established based on a variation of the Income Approach called the Profit Allocation Method. In the Profit Allocation Method, we estimated the value of the patents/core technology by capitalizing the profits saved because Harmonic owns the technology; | ||
| The fair value of the customer contracts and related relationships assets acquired was based on the Income Approach; | ||
| The fair value of the maintenance agreements and related relationships assets acquired was based on the Income Approach; | ||
| The fair value of trade names/trademarks assets acquired was established based on the Profit Allocation Method; and |
9
Table of Contents
| The fair value of backlog acquired was established based on the Cost Savings Approach. |
Identified intangible assets are being amortized over the following useful lives:
| Existing technology is estimated to have a useful life between three years and five years; | ||
| In-process technology is being amortized upon completion over its projected remaining useful life as assessed on the completion date. Three of the in-process projects were completed in the fourth quarter of 2009 and the remaining three projects were completed in the first quarter of 2010. The completed technology is estimated to have useful lives between three and six years; | ||
| Patents/core technology are being amortized over their useful life of four years; | ||
| Customer contracts and related relationships are being amortized over their useful life of between four years and five years; | ||
| Maintenance agreements and related relationships are being amortized over their useful life of four years; | ||
| Trade name/trademarks are being amortized over their useful lives of five years; and | ||
| Order backlog was amortized over its useful life of six months. |
The existing technology, patents/core technology, customer contracts, maintenance agreements and
related relationships, trade name/trademarks and backlog are being amortized using the
straight-line method which reflects the future projected cash flows.
The residual purchase price of $22.8 million has been recorded as goodwill. The goodwill as a
result of this acquisition is not deductible for federal tax purposes.
The following unaudited pro forma financial information presented below summarizes the combined
results of operations as if the merger had been completed on January 1, 2009. The unaudited pro
forma financial information for the six months ended July 3, 2009 combines the results for Harmonic
for the six months ended July 3, 2009, and the historical results of Scopus through March 12, 2009,

and a net loss of $3.9 million. For the period from March 12, 2009 to July 3, 2009, Scopus products
contributed revenues of $7.4 million and a net loss of $12.1 million.
NOTE 4: FAIR VALUE
The applicable accounting guidance establishes a framework for measuring fair value and expands
required disclosure about the fair value measurements of assets and liabilities. This guidance
requires the Company to classify and disclose assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a
recurring basis, as well as fair value measurements of assets and liabilities measured on a
nonrecurring basis in periods subsequent to initial measurement, in a three-tier fair value
hierarchy as described below.
The guidance defines fair value as the exchange price that would be received for an asset or paid
to transfer a liability in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in
an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date.

Table of Contents
Valuation techniques used to measure fair value must maximize the use of observable inputs and
minimize the use of unobservable inputs. The guidance describes three levels of inputs that may be
used to measure fair value:
| Level 1 Observable inputs that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in active markets. | ||
| Level 2 Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities; quoted prices in markets that are not active; or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the assets or liabilities. The Company primarily uses broker quotes for valuation of its short-term investments. | ||
| Level 3 Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities. |
The Company uses the market approach to measure fair value for its financial assets and
liabilities. The market approach uses prices and other relevant information generated by market
transactions involving identical or comparable assets or liabilities. During the six months ended
July 2, 2010, there were no nonrecurring fair value measurements of assets and liabilities
subsequent to initial recognition.
The following table sets forth the fair value of the Companys financial assets and liabilities
measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of July 2, 2010 and December 31, 2009 based on the
three-tier fair value hierarchy:

Impairment of Investments
Harmonic monitors its investment portfolio for impairment on a periodic basis. In the event that
the carrying value of an investment exceeds its fair value and the decline in value is determined
to be other-than-temporary, an impairment charge is recorded and a new cost basis for the
investment is established. In order to determine whether a decline in value is
other-than-temporary, the Company evaluates, among other factors: the duration and extent to which
the fair value has been less than the carrying value; the Companys financial condition and
business outlook, including key operational and cash flow metrics, current market conditions and
future trends in the industry; and the Companys relative competitive position within the industry.
At the present time, the Company does not intend to sell its investments that have unrealized
losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss). In addition, the Company does not believe
that it is more likely than not that it will be required to sell its investments that have
unrealized losses in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) before the Company recovers the
principal amounts invested. The Company believes that the unrealized losses are temporary and do
not require an other-than-temporary impairment, based on our evaluation of available evidence as of
July 2, 2010.
As of July 2, 2010, there were no individual available-for-sale securities in a material unrealized
loss position and the amount of unrealized losses on the total investment balance was
insignificant.

NOTE 7: RESTRUCTURING AND EXCESS FACILITIES
The Company has recorded restructuring and excess facilities charges beginning in 2001 and
throughout subsequent years as a result of changing conditions in the use of its facilities in the
United States and the United Kingdom. The initial expenses that had been recorded to selling,
general and administrative expense and the related liabilities have been adjusted periodically for
changes in sublease income estimates.
In the first quarter of 2009, the Company recorded a total of $7.4 million of expenses related to
activities resulting from the Scopus acquisition, including the termination of approximately 65
Scopus employees. A charge of $6.3 million was recorded in cost of revenue, consisting of excess
and obsolete inventories expenses from product discontinuances and severance expenses for
terminated Scopus employees. Research and development expenses were $0.6 million for terminated
Scopus employees. Selling, general and administrative expenses totaled $0.5 million consisting
primarily of severance expenses for terminated Scopus employees. Substantially all of the severance
was paid during the three months ended April 3, 2009.
As of July 2, 2010, accrued excess facilities cost totaled $1.9 million, which was included in
current accrued liabilities and is expected to be substantially paid in the remainder of 2010. The
Company incurred cash outlays of $3.4 million during the first six months of 2010 principally for
lease payments, property taxes, insurance and other maintenance fees related to vacated facilities.
Harmonic reassesses this liability quarterly and adjusts as necessary based on changes in the
timing and amounts of expected sublease rental income.

NOTE 8: CREDIT FACILITIES
Harmonic has a bank line of credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, which provides for borrowings
of up to $10.0 million that matures on March 2, 2011. As of July 2, 2010, other than standby
letters of credit and guarantees (Note 15), there were no amounts outstanding under the line of
credit facility and there were no borrowings in 2009 or 2010. This facility, which was amended and
restated in March 2010, contains a financial covenant with the requirement for Harmonic to maintain
unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, net of credit extensions, of not
less than $35.0 million. If Harmonic were unable to maintain this cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments balance, Harmonic would not be in compliance with the facility. In the event
of noncompliance by Harmonic with the covenants under the facility, Silicon Valley Bank would be
entitled to exercise its remedies under the facility which include declaring all obligations
immediately due and payable. At July 2, 2010, Harmonic was in compliance with the covenants under
this line of credit facility. Future borrowings pursuant to the line would bear interest at the
banks prime rate (4.0% at July 2, 2010). Borrowings are payable monthly and are not
collateralized.
NOTE 9: FINANCING LIABILITY FOR CONSTRUCTION IN PROGRESS
In December 2009, the Company entered into a lease for a building in San Jose, California that will
replace its current facility as corporate headquarters. In January 2010, the Company began a
build-out of this facility and expects to incur approximately $21.5 million in construction costs.
Under the terms of the lease, the landlord will reimburse up to $18.8 million of these construction
costs. Because certain improvements constructed by the Company were considered structural in nature
and the Company is responsible for any cost overruns, the Company is considered to be the owner of
the construction project for accounting purposes under applicable accounting guidance on the effect
of lessee involvement in asset construction.
Therefore, the Company capitalized the fair value of the building of $6.9 million with a
corresponding credit to financing liability. The fair value was determined as of December 31, 2009
using a combination of the revenue comparison approach and the income capitalization approach. For
the six months ended July 2, 2010, the liability increased by
$17.1 million due to additional leasehold improvements,
by $0.2 million due to land lease expense and by $0.1 million due to
capitalized interest expense. Each major construction element will be capitalized and
amortized over its useful life.
Upon completion of construction, the Company will assess whether or not it qualifies for
sale-leaseback accounting under applicable accounting guidance. At
that time, the Company will determine whether the lease will be
treated as a capital or operating lease.
NOTE 10: BENEFIT PLANS
Stock Option Plans. Harmonic has reserved 24,207,000
shares of Common Stock for issuance under
various employee stock option plans. Stock options are granted for periods not exceeding ten years
and generally vest 25% at one year from date of grant, and an additional 1/48 per month thereafter.
Beginning on February 27, 2006, option grants had a term of seven years. Restricted stock units
have no exercise price and generally vest over four years with 25% vesting at one year from date of
grant or the vesting commencement date chosen for the award, and either an additional 1/16 per
quarter thereafter, or 1/8 semiannually thereafter. In May 2010, Harmonic stockholders approved
amendments to the 1995 Stock Plan (the 1995 Plan) and increased the maximum number of shares of
common stock authorized for issuance by an additional 10,600,000 shares, decreased the maximum term
of stock options to seven years and changed the share counting provisions to provide that each
award with an exercise price below 100% of the fair market value on the grant date (or no exercise
price) would decrease the 1995 Plan reserve 1.5 shares for every unit or share granted and any
forfeitures of these awards due to their not vesting would increase the 1995 Plan reserve by 1.5
shares for every unit or share forfeited. Previously, restricted stock units granted reduced the
number of shares reserved for grant under the plans by two shares for every unit granted. Stock
options are granted having exercise prices equal to the fair market value of the stock at the date
of grant. Certain awards provide for accelerated vesting if there is a change in control. In the
first six months of 2010 and 2009, employees received restricted stock units valued at $9.5 million
and $6.8 million, respectively.
Director Option Plans. In May 2002, Harmonics stockholders approved the 2002 Director Option Plan
(the Plan), replacing the 1995 Director Option Plan. In June 2006, Harmonics stockholders
approved an amendment to the Plan and increased the maximum number of shares of common stock
authorized for issuance over the term of the Plan by an additional 300,000 shares to 700,000 shares
and reduced the term of future options granted under the Plan to seven years. In May 2008, Harmonic
stockholders approved
14
Table of Contents
amendments to the Plan to, among other things, increase the maximum number of shares of common
stock authorized for issuance by an additional 100,000 to 800,000 shares, and to rename the Plan
the 2002 Director Stock Plan. In May 2010, Harmonic stockholders approved amendments to the Plan
and increased the maximum number of shares of common stock authorized for issuance by an additional
400,000 shares and changed the share counting provisions to provide that each award of restricted
stock units would decrease the 2002 Plan reserve 1.5 shares for every unit granted and any
forfeitures of unvested restricted stock units would increase the 1995 Stock Plan reserve by 1.5
shares for every unit forfeited. Harmonic had a total of 752,000 shares of Common Stock reserved
for issuance under the Plan as of July 2, 2010. The Plan provides for the grant of non-statutory
stock options or restricted stock units to certain non-employee directors of Harmonic. Restricted
stock units, or RSUs, have no exercise price and vest either after one year or the vesting date
chosen for such award. Previously, restricted stock units granted reduced the number of shares
reserved for grant under the Plan by two shares for every unit granted. Stock options are granted
at fair market value of the stock at the date of grant for periods not exceeding ten years. Initial
option grants generally vest monthly over three years, and subsequent grants generally vest monthly
over one year. During the six months ended July 2, 2010 and July 3, 2009, there were 87,367 and
99,463 units granted to non-employee directors, respectively.

The weighted-average remaining contractual life for all exercisable stock options at July 2, 2010
was 3.2 years. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of all vested and expected-to-vest
stock options at July 2, 2010 was 3.8 years. The weighted-average remaining contractual life of all
vested and expected-to-vest restricted stock units at July 2, 2010 was 1.6 years.
Aggregate intrinsic value of options exercisable at July 2, 2010 was $1.1 million. The aggregate
intrinsic value of stock options vested and expected-to-vest net of estimated forfeitures was $1.1
million at July 2, 2010. Aggregate intrinsic value represents the difference between our closing
price on the last trading day of the fiscal period, which was $5.60 as of July 2, 2010, and the
exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding or exercisable. The intrinsic value
of exercised stock options is calculated based on the difference between the exercise price and the
current market value at the time of exercise. The aggregate intrinsic value of exercised stock
options was $0.1 million and $0.2 million during the three and six months ended July 2, 2010,
respectively.

Purchase Plan (the 2002 Purchase Plan) replacing the 1995 Employee Stock Purchase Plan effective
for the offering period beginning on July 1, 2002. As a result of the adoption of the 2002 Purchase
Plan and subsequent stockholder-approved amendments, a total of 7.5 million shares have been approved for issuance pursuant to the 2002
Purchase Plan. In addition, in June 2006, the Companys stockholders approved an amendment to the
2002 Purchase Plan to reduce the term of future offering periods to six months which became
effective for the offering period beginning January 1, 2007. The 2002 Purchase Plan enables
employees to purchase shares at 85% of the fair market value of the Common Stock at the beginning
or end of the offering period, whichever is lower. Offering periods generally begin on the first
trading day on or after January 1 and July 1 of each year. The 2002 Purchase Plan is intended to
qualify as an employee stock purchase plan under Section 423 of the Internal Revenue Code. During
the first six months of 2010 and 2009, the number of shares of stock issued under the purchase
plans was 864,800 and 705,206 at weighted average prices of $4.90 and $5.24, respectively. The
weighted-average fair value of each right to purchase shares of common stock granted under the
purchase plans during the first six months of 2010 and 2009 was $1.91 and $2.22, respectively. At
July 2, 2010, a total of 1,775,073 shares were reserved for future issuances under the 2002
Purchase Plan.
Retirement/Savings Plan. Harmonic has a retirement/savings plan which qualifies as a thrift plan
under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. This plan allows participants to contribute up
to 20% of total compensation, subject to applicable Internal Revenue Service limitations. Harmonic
can make discretionary contributions to the plan of 25% of the first 4% contributed by eligible
participants up to a maximum contribution per participant of $1,000 per year. This employer
contribution was suspended during the first quarter of 2009.

As of July 2, 2010, total unamortized stock-based compensation cost related to unvested stock
options and restricted stock units was $25.0 million. This amount will be recognized as expense
using the straight-line attribution method over the remaining weighted-average amortization period
of 2.4 years.

The expected term for stock options and the 2002 Purchase Plan represents the weighted-average
period that the stock options are expected to remain outstanding. Our computation of expected life
was determined based on historical experience of similar awards, giving consideration to the
contractual terms of the stock-based awards, vesting schedules and expectations of future employee
behavior.
We use the historical volatility over the expected term of the options and the 2002 Purchase Plan
offering period to estimate the expected volatility. We believe that the historical volatility, at
this time, represents fairly the future volatility of our common stock.

Table of Contents
We will continue to monitor relevant information to measure expected volatility for future option
grants and 2002 Purchase Plan offering periods.
The risk-free interest rate assumption is based upon observed interest rates appropriate for the
term of our employee stock options and employee stock purchase plan awards. The dividend yield
assumption is based on our history and expectation of dividend payouts.
NOTE 11: INCOME TAXES
The income tax provision includes U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign income taxes and is
based on the application of a forecasted annual income tax rate applied to the current quarters
year-to-date pre-tax income (loss). In determining the estimated annual effective income tax rate,
the Company analyzes various factors, including projections of the Companys annual earnings,
taxing jurisdictions in which the earnings will be generated, the impact of state and local income
taxes, the Companys ability to use tax credits and net operating loss carryforwards, and available
tax planning alternatives. Discrete items, including the effect of changes in tax laws, tax rates,
and certain circumstances with respect to valuation allowances or other unusual or non-recurring
tax adjustments are reflected in the period in which they occur as an addition to, or reduction
from, the income tax provision, rather than being included in the estimated effective annual income
tax rate.
For the three and six months ended July 2, 2010, our effective tax rate was a benefit of 1.1% and
42.1%, respectively, compared to a provision of 123.9% and 98.8% for the same periods a year ago,
inclusive of discrete items.
For the three months ended July 2, 2010, the difference between our effective tax rate benefit of
1.1% and the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily attributable to various discrete items,
the differential in foreign tax rates, non deductible stock-based compensation expense, and
California research and development credits. The discrete items recorded in the second quarter of
2010 principally related to a benefit associated with the reversal of previously provided foreign
income taxes due to the expiration of the statute of limitations.
For the six months ended July 2, 2010, the difference between our effective tax rate benefit of
42.1% and the federal statutory rate of 35% was primarily attributable to various discrete items,
the differential in foreign tax rates, non deductible stock-based compensation expense, and
California research and development credits. The discrete items recorded for the six months ended
July 2, 2010, principally related to a benefit associated with the reversal of previously provided
foreign income taxes due to expiration of the statute of limitations, and a benefit associated with
the release of a portion of the valuation allowance on certain California deferred tax assets. The
reduction in the valuation allowance on the California deferred tax assets was due to an increase
in the estimated amount of income that will be apportioned to California, based on anticipated
changes in the geographic mix of sales.
On February 20, 2009, California enacted legislation, which among other things, provides for the
election of a single factor apportionment formula beginning in 2011. As a result of our anticipated
election of the single sales factor, we are required under applicable accounting guidance on
accounting for income taxes to compute our deferred taxes taking into account the reversal pattern
and the expected California tax rate under the elective single sales factor at the end of any
reporting period. For the first quarter of 2009, the impact of the new legislation resulted in a
change to the state effective tax rate used to compute the Companys California deferred tax assets
resulting in a corresponding reduction to the amount of previously recorded California deferred tax
assets. In the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a reduction in the valuation allowance
on the California deferred tax assets due to an increase in the estimated amount of income that
would be apportioned to California, based on anticipated changes in the geographic mix of sales.
Any future changes to the estimate may
result in an adjustment to the amount of the California deferred tax
assets recognized. In
compliance with applicable guidance for accounting for uncertainty in income taxes, the
Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits, which include interest and penalties, of approximately
$52.3 million as of December 31, 2009, and approximately $46.3 million as of July 2, 2010. If all
of these unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, the entire amount would impact the provision
for income taxes. We anticipate the unrecognized tax benefits to decrease by $2.3 million in the
next 12 months due to statute of limitation expirations.
We recognize interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense.
During the quarter ended July 2, 2010, we recorded a net reduction of $0.6 million for interest and
penalties related to uncertain tax positions resulting in a balance at July 2, 2010 of $4.7
million.

The tax years 2002-2009 remain open to examination by various federal, state and foreign taxing
jurisdictions to which we are subject.
NOTE 12: NET INCOME (LOSS) PER SHARE
Basic net income (loss) per share is computed by dividing the net income (loss) attributable to
common stockholders for the period by the weighted average number of the common shares outstanding
during the period. The diluted net loss per share is the same as basic net loss per share for the
three and six months ended July 3, 2009 because potential common shares, such as common shares
issuable under the exercise of stock options or the employee stock purchase plan, are only
considered when their effect would be dilutive.
The following table shows the potentially dilutive shares, consisting of options, restricted stock
units and ESPP shares, for the periods presented that were excluded from the net income (loss)
computations because their effect was antidilutive:

Standby Letters of Credit. As of July 2, 2010, the Companys financial guarantees consisted of
standby letters of credit outstanding, which were principally related to performance bonds and
state requirements imposed on employers. The maximum amount of potential future payments under
these arrangements was $0.9 million.
Indemnification. Harmonic is obligated to indemnify its officers and the members of its Board of
Directors pursuant to its bylaws and contractual indemnity agreements. Harmonic also indemnifies
some of its suppliers and customers for specified intellectual property matters pursuant to certain
contractual arrangements, subject to certain limitations. The scope of these indemnities varies,
but in some instances, includes indemnification for damages and expenses (including reasonable
attorneys fees). There have been no claims against us for indemnification pursuant to any of these
arrangements and, accordingly, no amounts have been accrued in respect of the indemnification
provisions through July 2, 2010.
Guarantees. As of July 2, 2010, Harmonic had no other guarantees outstanding.
NOTE 16: LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On March 4,
2010 Interkey ELC Ltd, or Interkey, filed a lawsuit in Israel alleging breach of
contract against Scopus Video Networks Ltd. (now Harmonic Video Networks Ltd. or HVN), which was
acquired by Harmonic Inc. on March 12, 2009, and Harmonic Inc. (Harmonic). HVN responded by
filing a motion to remove the proceedings to arbitration as required by the contract. This motion
was granted on May 13, 2010. On May 24, 2010, Interkey filed a motion for the provision of an
ex-parte judgment against Harmonic although Harmonic maintains that it was not properly served and
therefore was not a party to the proceedings. On July 4, 2010, the court ruled against Harmonic and
provided an ex-parte judgment in the amount of NIS 6,350,000, or approximately $1.7 million. On
July 14, 2010, Harmonic filed a motion to set aside the ex-parte judgment and delay execution of
the judgment along with a Statement of Defense. The Court has given Interkey 20 days to respond.
Based on advice from counsel Harmonic believes it is likely to prevail on the motion to set aside
the ex-parte judgment. Further, Harmonic believes Interkeys claims are without merit and Harmonic
intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims. Based on the foregoing, Harmonic has not
recorded a provision for this claim.
On April 19, 2010, Arris Corporation filed a complaint in United States District Court in Atlanta,
alleging that Harmonics Streamliner 3000 product infringes four patents held by Arris. The
complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages. Harmonic has not been served in the case. Harmonic
is currently evaluating its position with respect to these patents. At this time, we cannot predict
the outcome of this matter. An unfavorable outcome of this matter could adversely affect our
business, operating results, financial position and cash flows.
An unfavorable outcome on the above referenced or any other litigation matters could require that
Harmonic pay substantial damages, or, in connection with any intellectual property infringement
claims, could require that the Company pay ongoing royalty payments or could prevent the Company
from selling certain of its products. As a result, a settlement or an unfavorable outcome on the
above referenced or any other litigation matter could have a material adverse effect on Harmonics
business, operating results, financial position and cash flows.
Harmonic may be subject to claims that have arisen in the normal course of business. In the opinion
of management the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these matters in the aggregate will
not have a material adverse effect on the Company or its operating results, financial position or
cash flows.
ITEM 2. MANAGEMENTS DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF FINANCIAL CONDITION AND RESULTS OF OPERATIONS
This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of
Section 27A of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, and Section 21E of the Securities Exchange
Act of 1934, as amended, including statements related to:
| Our expectation that customer concentration will continue for the foreseeable future; | |
| Our expectation that international revenue will continue to account for a significant portion of our net revenue for the foreseeable future; |
21
Table of Contents
| Our belief that adverse economic conditions and tight credit markets may reduce capital spending by our customers, which could have a material and adverse affect on sales of our products; | |
| Our expectation that we will record a total of approximately $3.9 million in amortization of intangibles in cost of revenue in the remaining six months of 2010, excluding the impact of any amortization related to the potential Omneon acquisition; | |
| Our expectation that we will record a total of approximately $1.1 million in amortization of intangibles in operating expenses in the remaining six months of 2010, excluding the impact of any amortization related to the potential Omneon acquisition; | |
| Our expectation that our capital expenditures will be in the range of $16 million to $18 million during 2010, net of reimbursed building improvements from our landlord; | |
| Our belief that the net proceeds from our previously completed public offering of common stock will be used for general corporate purposes, including payment of existing liabilities, research and development, the development or acquisition of new products or technologies, equipment acquisitions, strategic acquisitions of businesses, general working capital and operating expenses; | |
| Our belief that our existing liquidity sources, including our bank line of credit facility, will satisfy our requirements for at least the next twelve months; | |
| Our belief that near-term changes in exchange rates will not have a material impact on our operating results, financial position and liquidity; | |
| Our expectation that revenue from cable television, satellite and telecommunications operators will constitute a significant portion of net revenue for the foreseeable future; | |
| Our expectation that we will successfully complete the announced acquisition of Omneon and will be able to achieve the anticipated benefits of the acquisition; | |
| Our expectation that we will make additional acquisitions in the future; | |
| Our expectation that our operations will be affected by new environmental laws and regulations on an ongoing basis; | |
| Our expectation that an increasing percentage of our consolidated, pre-tax income will be derived from and reinvested in our international operations and our expectations regarding the associated tax rates; | |
| Our expectation that any ultimate liability of Harmonic with respect to certain litigation arising in the normal course of business will not, in the aggregate, have a material adverse effect on us or our operating results, financial position or cash flows; | |
| Our expectation that the proposed acquisition of Omneon will close in the second half of 2010, if at all; | |
| Our expectation that the acquisition of Omneon would strengthen Harmonics competitive position in the digital media market and broaden our relationships with customers who produce and distribute digital video content, such as broadcasters, cable channels and other major owners of content, and that it would broaden Harmonics technology and product lines with digital storage and play-out solutions which complement its existing video processing products; and | |
| Our expectation that operating results are likely to fluctuate in the future. |
These statements involve risks and uncertainties as well as assumptions that, if they were to never
materialize or prove incorrect, could cause actual results to differ materially from those
projected, expressed or implied in the forward-looking statements. These risks and uncertainties
include those set forth under Risk Factors below and elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q and that are otherwise described from time to time in Harmonics filings with the Securities
and Exchange Commission.

Overview
Harmonic designs, manufactures and sells versatile and high performance video products and system
solutions that enable service providers to efficiently deliver the next generation of broadcast and
on-demand services, including high-definition television, or HDTV, video-on-demand, or VOD, network
personal video recording and time-shifted TV. Historically, the majority of our revenue has been
derived from sales of video processing solutions and edge and access systems to cable television
operators and from sales of video processing solutions to direct-to-home satellite operators. We
also provide our video processing solutions to telecommunications companies, or telcos,
broadcasters and Internet companies that offer video services to their customers.
In the second quarter and first six months of 2010, Harmonics net revenue was $95.5 million and
$180.4 million, respectively, representing increases of 18% and 21% compared to the second quarter
and first six months of 2009, respectively. The increase in revenue in the second quarter of 2010
compared to the corresponding period in 2009 was primarily due to increased demand from our
international cable customers and domestic satellite customers for products and solutions related
to HDTV, VOD, modular cable modem termination system, or M-CMTS, switched digital video and video transmission applications. Gross margins
increased in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the corresponding period in 2009 due to higher
revenue volumes in 2010 and increased gross margins on revenue from
encoder products, which were partially offset by increased inventory provisions and
increased expenses for warranty, freight, and royalties. The increase in revenue in the first six
months of 2010 compared to the corresponding period in 2009 was primarily due to increased demand
from our domestic and international cable customers and our domestic satellite customers for
products and solutions related to HDTV, VOD, M-CMTS, switched digital video and video transmission
applications. Gross margins increased in the first six months of 2010 compared to the corresponding
period in 2009 due to higher revenue volumes in 2010 and reduced
inventory provisions, which were partially offset by increased expenses for freight, royalties and warranty.
Historically, a majority of our net revenue has been derived from relatively few customers, and due
in part to the consolidation of ownership of cable television and direct broadcast satellite
systems, we expect this customer concentration to continue for the foreseeable future. In the
second quarter and first six months of 2010, revenue from Comcast
accounted for 16% and 15% of net revenue, respectively. In the second quarter and
first six months of 2009, revenue from Comcast accounted for 19% and 17% of net revenue,
respectively.
Revenue from customers outside of the U.S. in the second quarter and first six months of 2010
represented 48% and 49% of net revenue, respectively, compared to 43% and 47%, respectively, for
the comparable periods in 2009. A significant portion of international revenue is derived from
distributors and system integrators, which are generally responsible for importing the products and
providing installation and technical support and service to customers within their territory. Net
revenue denominated in foreign currencies was approximately 6% in the first six months of 2010
compared to 5% for the comparable period of 2009. We expect international revenue to continue to
account for a significant portion of our net revenue for the foreseeable future.
Harmonic often recognizes a significant portion, or the majority, of its revenues in the last month
of the quarter. Harmonic establishes its expenditure levels for product development and other
operating expenses based on projected revenue levels, and expenses are relatively fixed in the
short term. Accordingly, variations in timing of revenue can cause significant fluctuations in
operating results. Harmonics expenses for any given quarter are typically based on expected
revenue and if revenue is below expectations, our operating results may be adversely impacted by
our inability to adjust spending to compensate for the shortfall. In addition, because a
significant portion of Harmonics business is derived from orders placed by a limited number of
large customers, the timing of such orders can also cause significant fluctuations in our operating
results.
On May 6, 2010, Harmonic entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Omneon Inc., or Omneon, a
privately-held company headquartered in Sunnyvale, California and organized under the laws of
Delaware. Under the terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Harmonic would acquire
Omneon for (i) $190 million in cash plus the aggregate exercise price of vested stock options of
Omneon, and subject to further adjustment based on Omneons cash, cash equivalents and restricted
cash position and working capital position at the time of closing, and (ii) 17.1 million shares of
Harmonic common stock. This represents a total purchase value of approximately $274 million, based
on the closing price of Harmonic common stock on May 5, 2010, net of cash to be acquired of
approximately $32 million. The cash portion of the purchase price is subject to adjustment in the
event that Omneons cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash are more or less than $32 million at
closing, and is also subject to a working capital adjustment. All unvested stock options and
unvested restricted stock units issued by Omneon and outstanding at closing will be assumed by
Harmonic. The proposed acquisition is subject to the approval of Omneons stockholders, and
Harmonic has entered into voting agreements with holders of approximately 66% of Omneons
outstanding shares of capital stock, pursuant to which such Omneon stockholders agree to vote in
favor of the transaction. The proposed acquisition is also subject to other customary closing
conditions and regulatory approvals and is expected to close in the second half of 2010.

Table of Contents
The proposed acquisition of Omneon is intended to strengthen Harmonics competitive position in the
digital media market and to broaden our relationships with customers who produce and distribute
digital video content, such as broadcasters, cable channels and other major owners of content. The
acquisition is also intended to broaden Harmonics technology and product lines with digital
storage and play-out solutions which complement our existing video processing products.
On March 12, 2009, Harmonic completed the acquisition of Scopus
Video Networks Ltd., or Scopus, a
publicly traded company based in Israel. The purchase price, net of $23.3 million of cash acquired,
was $63.1 million, which was paid from Harmonics existing
cash balances. Scopus engaged in the
development and support of digital video networking products that allow network operators to
transmit, process, and manage digital video content. Scopus
primary products included integrated
receivers/decoders (IRD), intelligent video gateways (IVG), and encoders. In addition, Scopus
marketed multiplexers, network management systems (NMS), and other ancillary technology to its
customers. The acquisition of Scopus strengthened Harmonics technology and market leadership,
particularly in the broadcast contribution and distribution markets. The acquisition extended
Harmonics diversification strategy, providing it with an expanded international sales force and
global customer base, particularly in video broadcast, contribution and distribution markets, as
well as complementary video processing technology and expanded research and development capability.
Results of operations for the Scopus acquisition are reflected in the accompanying Harmonic
financial data from the closing date of the acquisition, which was March 12, 2009. Revenue from
Scopus products are primarily reported within the video processing product line.
We are in the process of expanding our international operations and staff to better support our
expansion into international markets. This expansion includes the implementation of an
international structure that includes, among other things, an international support center in
Europe, a research and development cost-sharing arrangement, certain licenses and other contractual
arrangements by and among the Company and its wholly-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. Our
foreign subsidiaries have acquired certain rights to sell our existing intellectual property and
intellectual property that will be developed or licensed in the future. As a result of these
changes and an expanding customer base internationally, we expect that an increasing percentage of
our consolidated pre-tax income will be derived from, and reinvested in, our international
operations. We anticipate that this pre-tax income will be subject to foreign tax at relatively
lower tax rates when compared to the United States federal statutory tax rate in future periods.
However, the current administration has begun to put forward proposals that may, if enacted, limit
the ability of U.S. companies to continue to defer U.S. income taxes on foreign earnings.
Critical Accounting Policies, Judgments and Estimates
The preparation of financial statements and related disclosures requires Harmonic to make
judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities,
the disclosure of contingencies, and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses in the financial
statements and accompanying notes. Material differences may result in the amount and timing of
revenue and expenses if different judgments or different estimates were made.
Our significant accounting policies are described in Note 1 to the annual consolidated financial
statements as of and for the year ended December 31, 2009, included in our Annual Report on Form
10-K filed with the SEC on March 1, 2010 and the notes to the condensed consolidated financial
statements as of and for the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2010, included herein. Our
most critical accounting policies have not changed since December 31, 2009 and include the
following:
| Revenue recognition; | |
| Allowances for doubtful accounts, returns and discounts; | |
| Valuation of inventories; | |
| Impairment of goodwill or long-lived assets; | |
| Restructuring costs and accruals for excess facilities; | |
| Assessment of the probability of the outcome of litigation; |

Net revenue increased in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009 principally
due to increased demand from our international cable customers and our domestic satellite
customers, as well as an improved economic environment worldwide. Revenue from video processing
products was higher in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same period in the prior year
primarily due to increased revenue from broadcast encoders, which are
used in HDTV and switched digital video applications. The
increase in revenue in the edge and access products line in the second quarter of 2010 compared to
the same period in 2009 was primarily due to an increase in revenue derived from domestic and
international cable operators relating to the sale of access products, which are used for video
transmission applications. The increase in revenue from service and support in the second quarter
of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was primarily from increased support revenue as a
result of an expanded customer base.
Net revenue increased in the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period of 2009
principally due to increased demand from our domestic and international cable customers and our
domestic satellite customers, as well as an improved economic environment worldwide. Revenue from
video processing products was higher in the first six months of 2010 compared to the same period in
the prior year primarily due to increased revenue from broadcast encoders, stream processing
products and on-demand products, which are used in HDTV, switched
digital video and VOD applications. Revenue from video
contribution and distribution products was higher in the first six months of 2010 compared to the
same period in the prior year primarily due to products obtained from the Scopus acquisition
completed in March 2009. The increase in revenue from the edge and access products line in the
first six months of 2010 compared to the same period in 2009 was primarily due to an increase in
revenue derived from domestic and international cable operators relating to the sale of edge and
access products, which are used for M-CMTS, switched digital video and video transmission
applications. The increase in revenue from service and support in the first six months of 2010
compared to the same period in 2009 was primarily from increased support revenue as a result of an
expanded customer base and the timing in the renewal of maintenance agreements.

The increase in U.S. revenue in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the corresponding period in
2009 was principally due to increased demand from our domestic satellite customers for video
processing encoder products used in HDTV applications, and increased support revenue. The increased
U.S. revenue in the first six months of 2010 compared to the corresponding period in 2009 was
principally due to increased demand from our domestic cable and satellite customers for video
processing encoder and stream processing products, which are used in HDTV applications; edge and

The increase in international revenue in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the corresponding
period in 2009 was primarily due to increased demand from our international cable customers for

increased compared to the corresponding period in 2009 primarily due to increased demand from our
international cable customers for encoder, stream processing and network management
products, which are used in HDTV and VOD video processing applications; video contribution and distribution products,
which were products obtained from the Scopus acquisition in March 2009; edge and access products,
which are used in M-CMTS, switched digital video and video transmission applications; and increased
support revenue. International revenue increased in the second quarter and the first six months of
2010 compared to the corresponding periods in 2009 primarily in the European, Middle East and
Canadian markets. We expect that international revenue will continue to account for a significant
portion of our net revenue for the foreseeable future.

The increase in gross profit in the second quarter of 2010
as compared to the corresponding period
in 2009 was primarily due to higher revenue in 2010 and increased gross
margins on revenue from encoder products, which was partially offset by an increase in
inventory provisions which totaled $2.2 million, increased warranty provisions of $0.6 million, increased freight expenses of $0.5
million and increased royalty expense of $0.4 million. The
higher gross profit on encoder products was partially due
to the deployments of a large video headend project in the second
quarter of 2009 which generated no gross profit due to competitive
factors and technological issues. The gross margin percentage of 47.8% in the
second quarter of 2010 compared to 41.3% in the second quarter of 2009 was higher primarily due to
higher gross margins in the video processing and cable edge product lines, which were partially
offset by higher provisions for inventory, and increased expenses for warranty, freight and
royalties.
The increase in gross profit in the first six months of 2010 as compared to the corresponding
period in 2009 was primarily due to higher revenue in 2010 and a decrease in provisions for excess
and obsolete inventories, which was partially offset by higher provisions for service inventory and
demo inventory, increased freight expense, increased royalty expense and increased warranty
expense. The decrease in the provisions for excess and obsolete inventories in 2010 compared to the
corresponding period in 2009 was primarily due to provisions of $5.8 million recorded in the first
six months of 2009 for excess and obsolete inventories associated with the discontinuance
of certain Scopus products. The gross margin percentage of 48.0% in the first six months of 2010
compared to 39.5% in the first six months of 2009 was higher primarily due to higher margins in the
video processing and cable edge product lines and lower provisions for excess and obsolete
inventories, which were partially offset by higher provisions for service inventory and demo
inventory, and increased expenses for freight, royalties and warranty.
In the first six months of 2010, $4.2 million of amortization of intangibles was included in cost
of revenue compared to $1.9 million in the first six months of 2009. The higher amortization of
intangible expense in the first six months of 2010 was due to the amortization of intangibles
arising from the Scopus acquisition which was completed in March 2009. We expect to record
approximately $3.9 million in amortization of intangibles expenses in cost of revenue in the
remaining six months of 2010 related to intangible assets acquired in connection with the
acquisitions of Entone Technologies, Inc. (Entone), Rhozet Corporation (Rhozet)and Scopus Video
Networks Ltd. (Scopus).

The increase in research and development expense in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the
corresponding period in 2009 was primarily the result of a decrease in expense reimbursements from
foreign government sponsored research of $0.7 million, increased stock-based compensation expense
of $0.2 million, increased outside engineering services of $0.2 million, increased use of prototype
materials of $0.2 million and increased compensation expense of $0.2 million.
The increase in research and development expense in the first six months of 2010 compared to the

million, increased facilities expense of $0.7 million, increased outside engineering services of
$0.5 million, increased stock-based compensation expense of $0.5 million and increased use of
prototype materials of $0.3 million. The increased compensation expense was primarily due to

engaged in engineering activities. The increased facilities expense was primarily due to an
increase in additional facilities, such as building leases and overhead, assumed in connection with
the Scopus acquisition.

of $2.4 million associated with the pending acquisition of Omneon, increased compensation expense of
$0.6 million and increased stock-based compensation of $0.5 million. The increased compensation
expense was primarily due to increased incentive compensation and higher commission expense
resulting from increased net revenue in 2010.

The decrease in the provision for income taxes in the second quarter of 2010 compared to the same
period in 2009 was primarily attributable to a benefit from the reversal of foreign taxes previously accrued as
uncertain tax benefits that are no longer required due to an expiration of the statute of
limitations which was recorded as a discrete item.
The decrease in the provision for income taxes in the first six months of 2010 compared to the same
period in 2009 was primarily attributable to a benefit from the reversal of foreign taxes previously accrued as
uncertain tax benefits due to an expiration of the statute of limitations and, to a lesser extent,
a benefit associated with the release of a portion of the valuation allowance on certain California
deferred tax assets, both of which were recorded as discrete items.
On February 20, 2009, California enacted legislation, which among other things, provides for the
election of a single factor apportionment formula beginning in 2011. As a result of our anticipated
election of the single sales factor, we are required under applicable accounting guidance on
accounting for income taxes to compute our deferred taxes taking into account the reversal pattern
and the expected California tax rate under the elective single sales factor at the end of any
reporting period. For the first quarter of 2009, the impact of the new legislation resulted in a
change to the state effective tax rate used to compute the Companys California deferred tax assets
resulting in a corresponding reduction to the amount of previously recorded California deferred tax
assets. In the first quarter of 2010, the Company recorded a reduction in the valuation allowance
on the California deferred tax assets due to an increase in the estimated amount of income that
would be apportioned to California, based on anticipated changes in the geographic mix of sales.
At the end of each quarter, the Company will review the estimated amount of income to be
apportioned to California under the single factor formula. Any future changes to the estimate may
result in an adjustment to the amount of the California deferred tax assets to be recorded.

As of July 2, 2010, cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $277.9 million,
compared to $271.1 million as of December 31, 2009. Cash provided by operations in the first six
months of 2010 was $5.5 million, resulting from net income of $9.8 million, adjusted for $16.0
million in non-cash charges, and a $20.3 million net use of cash relating to the change in assets
and liabilities. The significant non-cash charges included stock-based compensation, depreciation
and amortization of intangible assets. The net change in assets and liabilities included an
increase in inventories primarily due to an increase in service and demo
inventories, an increase in accounts receivable due to higher shipments in the first six months of
2010, a decrease in accrued liabilities primarily from the payment of incentive compensation, lower
accrued excess facilities costs and lower income taxes payable, which was partially offset by an
increase in deferred revenue.
To the extent that non-cash items impact our future operating results, there will be no
corresponding impact on our cash flows. After excluding the effects of these non-cash charges, the
primary changes in cash flows relating to operating activities resulted from changes in working
capital. Our primary source of operating cash flows is the collection of accounts receivable from
our customers. Our operating cash flows are also impacted by the timing of payments to our vendors
for accounts payable and other liabilities. We generally pay our vendors and service providers in
accordance with the invoice terms and conditions. In addition, we usually pay our annual incentive
compensation to employees in the first quarter.
Net cash provided by investing activities was $13.9 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010,
compared to net cash used in investing activities of $45.4 million in the corresponding period in
2009. The increase in net cash provided in the first six months of 2010 was primarily due to the
net cash provided by the maturity of investments which was in excess of the purchase of investments
and the acquisition of property and equipment primarily for leasehold improvements to our new
corporate headquarters. The 2009 use of cash for investing activities was primarily due to our
acquisition of Scopus. Harmonic currently expects capital
expenditures to be in the range of $16
million to $18 million during 2010, net of reimbursed building improvements from our landlord.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $16.2 million for the six months ended July 2, 2010,
compared to $4.2 million in the corresponding period in 2009, as a result of proceeds received
primarily from lessor financing of building construction for our new headquarters of $12.4 million
and the sale of our common stock under our 2002 Purchase Plan.
Harmonic has a bank line of credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, which provides for borrowings
of up to $10.0 million that matures on March 2, 2011. As of July 2, 2010, other than standby
letters of credit and guarantees (Note 15), there were no amounts outstanding under the line of
credit facility and there were no borrowings in 2009 or 2010. This facility, which was amended and
restated in March 2010, contains a financial covenant with the requirement for Harmonic to maintain
unrestricted cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments, net of credit extensions, of not
less than $35.0 million. If Harmonic were unable to maintain this cash, cash equivalents and
short-term investments balance, Harmonic would not be in compliance with the facility. In the event
of noncompliance by Harmonic with the covenants under the facility, Silicon Valley Bank would be
entitled to exercise its remedies under the facility which include declaring all obligations
immediately due and payable. At July 2, 2010, Harmonic was in compliance with the covenants under
this line of credit facility. Future borrowings pursuant to the line would bear interest at the
banks prime rate (4.0% at July 2, 2010). Borrowings are payable monthly and are not
collateralized.
The anticipated use of approximately $190 million in cash upon closing of the Omneon acquisition
will significantly reduce our cash balances. Nevertheless, we believe that our existing liquidity
sources will satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, if our
expectations are incorrect, we may need to raise additional funds to fund our operations, to take
advantage of unanticipated strategic opportunities or to strengthen our financial position.
In addition, we actively review potential acquisitions that would complement our existing product
offerings, enhance our technical capabilities or expand our marketing and sales presence. For
example, on May 6, 2010, Harmonic entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Omneon. Under the
terms of the Agreement and Plan of Reorganization, Harmonic would acquire Omneon for (i) $190
million in cash plus the aggregate exercise price of vested stock options of Omneon, and subject to
further adjustment based on Omneons cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash position and
working capital position at the time of closing, and (ii) 17.1 million shares of Harmonic common
stock. The cash portion of the purchase price, which is expected to be funded out of Harmonics
existing cash balances, is subject to adjustment in the event that Omneons cash, cash equivalents
and restricted cash are more or less than $32 million at closing, and is also subject to a working
capital adjustment. All unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock units issued by Omneon
and outstanding at closing will be assumed by Harmonic. The proposed acquisition is subject to
customary closing
31
Table of Contents
conditions and regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the second half of 2010. Any future transaction of this nature could require
potentially significant amounts of capital or could require us to issue additional shares of our
stock which would dilute existing stockholders. If adequate funds are not available, or are not
available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities, to
develop new products or to otherwise respond to competitive pressures.
Our ability to raise funds may be adversely affected by a number of factors relating to Harmonic,
as well as factors beyond our control, including the global economic slowdown, market uncertainty
surrounding the ongoing U.S. war on terrorism, as well as
conditions in financial markets and the cable and satellite industries. There can be no assurance
that any financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
None as of July 2, 2010.
Contractual Obligations and Commitments
There were no significant changes to our contractual obligations and commitments in the first six
months of 2010 compared to the information presented in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year
ended December 31, 2009. However, as noted above, On May 6, 2010, Harmonic entered into an
Agreement and Plan of Reorganization to acquire Omneon for an aggregate of (i) $190 million in cash
plus the aggregate exercise price of vested stock options of Omneon, and subject to further
adjustment based on Omneons cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash position and working
capital position at the time of closing, and (ii) 17.1 million shares of Harmonic common stock. The
cash portion of the purchase price is subject to adjustment in the event that Omneons cash, cash
equivalents and restricted cash are more or less than $32 million at closing, and is also subject
to a working capital adjustment. All unvested stock options and unvested restricted stock units
issued by Omneon and outstanding at closing will be assumed by Harmonic. The proposed acquisition
is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in
the second half of 2010.
ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the operating results, financial position,
or liquidity of Harmonic due to adverse changes in market prices and rates. Harmonic is exposed to
market risk because of changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates as measured
against the U.S. Dollar and currencies of Harmonics subsidiaries.
Foreign Currency Exchange Risk
Harmonic has a number of international customers each of whose sales are generally denominated in
U.S. dollars. Sales denominated in foreign currencies were approximately 6% and 5% of net revenue
in the first six months of 2010 and 2009, respectively. In addition, the Company has various
international offices that provide sales support, engineering and systems integration services.
Periodically, Harmonic enters into foreign currency exchange contracts and options to manage
exposure related to accounts receivable and expenses denominated in foreign currencies. Harmonic
does not enter into derivative financial instruments for trading purposes. At July 2, 2010, we had
forward contracts to sell Euros totaling $6.1 million that mature during the third quarter of 2010.
In addition, we had forward exchange contracts to sell Israeli Shekels totaling $3.4 million
maturing during the third quarter of 2010. While Harmonic does not anticipate that near-term
changes in exchange rates will have a material impact on Harmonics operating results, financial
position and liquidity, Harmonic cannot assure you that a sudden and significant change in the
value of foreign currencies would not harm Harmonics operating results, financial position and
liquidity.
Interest Rate Risk
Exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to Harmonics investment
portfolio of marketable debt securities of various issuers, types and maturities and to Harmonics
borrowings under its bank line of credit facility. Harmonic does not use derivative instruments in
its investment portfolio, and its investment portfolio only includes highly liquid instruments.
These investments are classified as available for sale and are carried at estimated fair value,
with material unrealized gains and losses reported in other comprehensive income. There is risk
that losses could be incurred if Harmonic were to sell any of its securities prior to stated
maturity. As of July 2, 2010, our cash, cash equivalents and investments balance was $277.9
million. Based on our estimates,
32
Table of Contents
a 100 basis points, or 1%, change in interest rates would have
increased or decreased the fair value of our investments by approximately $1.7 million.
ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures.
We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under
the Exchange Act, that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in
reports that we file or submit under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the Exchange
Act), is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC
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. In designing and evaluating our disclosure controls and
procedures, management recognized that disclosure controls and procedures, no matter how well
conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of
the disclosure controls and procedures are met. Additionally, in designing disclosure controls and
procedures, our management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the
cost-benefit relationship of possible disclosure controls and procedures. The design of any
disclosure controls and procedures also is based in part upon certain assumptions about the
likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in
achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions.
Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form
10-Q, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure
controls and procedures were effective at a reasonable assurance level.
Changes in internal controls.
On March 12, 2009, we acquired Scopus and, as a result, we have begun integrating the processes,
systems and controls relating to Scopus into our existing system of internal control over financial
reporting in accordance with our integration plans. In addition, various transitional controls
designed to supplement existing internal controls have been implemented with respect to the
acquired processes and systems. Except for the processes, systems and controls relating to the
integration of Scopus, there have not been any changes in the Companys internal control over
financial reporting during the six months ended July 2, 2010 that have materially affected, or are
reasonably likely to materially affect, its internal control over financial reporting.

OTHER INFORMATION
ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS
On
March 4, 2010 Interkey ELC Ltd, or Interkey, filed a lawsuit in Israel alleging breach of
contract against Scopus Video Networks Ltd. (now Harmonic Video Networks Ltd. or HVN), which was
acquired by Harmonic Inc. on March 12, 2009, and Harmonic Inc. (Harmonic). HVN responded by
filing a motion to remove the proceedings to arbitration as required by the contract. This motion
was granted on May 13, 2010. On May 24, 2010, Interkey filed a motion for the provision of an
ex-parte judgment against Harmonic although Harmonic maintains that it was not properly served and
therefore was not a party to the proceedings. On July 4, 2010, the court ruled against Harmonic and
provided an ex-parte judgment in the amount of NIS 6,350,000, or approximately $1.7 million. On
July 14, 2010, Harmonic filed a motion to set aside the ex-parte judgment and delay execution of
the judgment along with a Statement of Defense. The Court has given Interkey 20 days to respond.
Based on advice from counsel Harmonic believes it is likely to prevail on the motion to set aside
the ex-parte judgment. Further, Harmonic believes Interkeys claims are without merit and Harmonic
intends to vigorously defend itself against these claims. Based on the foregoing, Harmonic has not
recorded a provision for this claim.
On April 19, 2010, Arris Corporation filed a complaint in United States District Court in Atlanta,
alleging that Harmonics Streamliner 3000 product infringes four patents held by Arris. The
complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages. Harmonic has not been served in the case. Harmonic
is currently evaluating its position with respect to these patents. At this time, we cannot predict
the outcome of this matter. An unfavorable outcome of this matter could adversely affect our
business, operating results, financial position and cash flows.
Harmonic may be subject to claims arising in the normal course of business. In the opinion of
management the amount of ultimate liability with respect to these matters in the aggregate will not
have a material adverse effect on the Company or its operating results, financial position and cash
flows.
ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
We depend on cable, satellite and telecom industry capital spending for a substantial portion of
our revenue and any decrease or delay in capital spending in these industries would negatively
impact our operating result, financial condition and cash flows.
A significant portion of our revenue has been derived from sales to cable television, satellite and
telecommunications operators, and we expect this revenue to constitute a significant portion of net
revenue for the foreseeable future. Demand for our products will depend on the magnitude and timing
of capital spending by cable television operators, satellite operators, telecommunications
companies and broadcasters for constructing and upgrading their systems.
These capital spending patterns are dependent on a variety of factors, including:
| access to financing; | ||
| annual budget cycles; | ||
| the impact of industry consolidation; | ||
| the status of federal, local and foreign government regulation of telecommunications and television broadcasting; | ||
| overall demand for communication services and consumer acceptance of new video and data services; | ||
| evolving industry standards and network architectures; | ||
| competitive pressures, including pricing pressures; | ||
| discretionary customer spending patterns; and |
34
Table of Contents
| general economic conditions. |
In the past, specific factors contributing to reduced capital spending have included:
| uncertainty related to development of digital video industry standards; | ||
| delays associated with the evaluation of new services, new standards and system architectures by many operators; | ||
| emphasis on generating revenue from existing customers by operators instead of new construction or network upgrades; | ||
| a reduction in the amount of capital available to finance projects of our customers and potential customers; | ||
| proposed and completed business combinations and divestitures by our customers and regulatory review thereof; | ||
| weak or uncertain economic and financial conditions in domestic and international markets; and | ||
| bankruptcies and financial restructuring of major customers. |
The financial difficulties of certain of our customers and changes in our customers deployment
plans adversely affected our business in the past. Recently, economic conditions in the countries
in which we operate and sell products have been very weak, and global economic conditions and
financial markets have experienced a severe downturn stemming from a multitude of factors,
including adverse credit conditions, slower economic activity, concerns about inflation and
deflation, rapid changes in foreign exchange rates, increased energy costs, decreased consumer
confidence, reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and
liquidity concerns and other factors. Economic growth in the U.S. and in many other countries has
slowed significantly or receded in recent years, and economic growth may remain sluggish during
2010, although there has been an increase in economic activity recently. The severity or length of
time that these adverse economic and financial market conditions may persist is unknown. During
challenging economic times, and in tight credit markets, many customers may delay or reduce capital
expenditures, which in turn often results in lower demand for our products.
Further, we have a number of customers internationally to whom sales are denominated in U.S.
dollars. Over the past two years, the value of the U.S. dollar has fluctuated significantly against
many foreign currencies, which includes the local currencies of many of our international
customers. If the U.S. dollar appreciates relative to the local currencies of our customers, then
the price of our products correspondingly increases for such customers. These factors could result
in reductions in sales of our products, longer sales cycles, difficulties in collection of accounts
receivable, slower adoption of new technologies and increased price competition. If the U.S. dollar
would weaken against many major currencies, there can be no assurance that a weaker dollar would lead to
growth in our revenue. Financial difficulties among our customers could adversely affect our
operating results and financial condition.
In addition, industry consolidation has in the past constrained, and may in the future constrain
capital spending among our customers. As a result, we cannot assure you that we will maintain or
increase our net revenue in the future. Also, if our product portfolio and product development
plans do not position us well to capture an increased portion of the capital spending of U.S. cable
operators and other major customers, our revenue may decline and our operating results would be
adversely affected.
Our customer base is concentrated and the loss of one or more of our key customers, or a failure to
diversify our customer base, could harm our business.
Historically, a majority of our revenue has been derived from relatively few customers, and due in
part to the consolidation of ownership of cable television and direct broadcast satellite systems,
we expect this customer concentration to continue in the foreseeable future. Revenue derived from
our ten largest customers in the first six months of 2010 and the fiscal years 2009 and 2008
accounted for approximately 48%, 47% and 58% of net revenue, respectively. Although we are
attempting to broaden our customer base by penetrating new markets, such as the telecommunications
and broadcast markets, and to further expand internationally, we expect to see continuing industry
consolidation and customer concentration due in part to the significant capital costs of
constructing broadband networks. For example, Comcast acquired AT&T Broadband in 2002, thereby
creating the largest U.S. cable operator,
reaching approximately 24 million subscribers. The sale of Adelphia Communications cable systems
to Comcast and Time Warner
35
Table of Contents
Cable has led to further industry consolidation. NTL and Telewest, the
two largest cable operators in the UK, completed their merger in 2006. In the DBS market, The News
Corporation Ltd. acquired an indirect controlling interest in Hughes Electronics, the parent
company of DIRECTV, in 2003, and News Corporation subsequently sold its interest in DIRECTV to
Liberty Media in February 2008. In the telco market, AT&T completed its acquisition of Bell South
in December 2006.
In the first six months of 2010, revenue from Comcast accounted for 15% of our net revenue. In
fiscal year 2009, revenue from Comcast accounted for 16% of our net revenue. The loss of Comcast or
any other significant customer or any reduction in orders by Comcast or any significant customer,
or our failure to qualify our products with a significant customer could adversely affect our
business, operating results and liquidity. The loss of, or any reduction in orders from, a
significant customer would harm our business if we were not able to offset any such loss or
reduction with increased orders from other customers.
In addition, historically, we have been dependent upon capital spending in the cable and satellite
industry. We are attempting to diversify our customer base beyond cable and satellite customers,
including the telco market. Several major telcos have rebuilt or are upgrading their networks to
offer bundled video, voice and data services. In order to be successful in this market, we may need
to continue to build alliances with telco equipment manufacturers, adapt our products for telco
applications, take orders at prices resulting in lower margins, and build internal expertise to
handle the particular contractual and technical demands of the telco industry. In addition, telco
video deployments, including recent trials of mobile video services, are subject to delays in
completion, as video processing technologies and video business models are relatively new to most
telcos and many of their largest suppliers. Implementation issues with our products or those of
other vendors have caused, and may continue to cause, delays in project completion for our
customers and delay the recognition of revenue by Harmonic. Further, during challenging economic
times, and in tight credit markets, many customers, including telcos, may delay or reduce capital
expenditures. This could result in reductions in sales of our products, longer sales cycles,
difficulties in collection of accounts receivable, slower adoption of new technologies and
increased price competition. As a result of these and other factors, we cannot assure you that we
will be able to increase our revenues from telco customers and other markets, or that we can do so
profitably, and any failure to increase revenues and profits from these customers could adversely
affect our business.
Our operating results are likely to fluctuate significantly and may fail to meet or exceed the
expectations of securities analysts or investors, causing our stock price to decline.
Our operating results have fluctuated in the past and are likely to continue to fluctuate in the
future, on an annual and a quarterly basis, as a result of several factors, many of which are
outside of our control. Some of the factors that may cause these fluctuations include:
| the level and timing of capital spending of our customers, both in the U.S. and in foreign markets; | ||
| access to financing, including credit, for capital spending by our customers; | ||
| economic and financial conditions specific to the cable, satellite and telco industries; | ||
| changes in market demand; | ||
| the timing and amount of orders, especially from significant customers; | ||
| the timing of revenue recognition from solution contracts, which may span several quarters; | ||
| the timing of revenue recognition on sales arrangements, which may include multiple deliverables; | ||
| the timing of completion of projects; | ||
| competitive market conditions, including pricing actions by our competitors; | ||
| seasonality, with fewer construction and upgrade projects typically occurring in winter months and otherwise being affected by inclement weather; | ||
| our unpredictable sales cycles; |
36

| the level and mix of international revenue; | ||
| the amount and timing of revenue derived from telcos, which is particularly difficult to predict; | ||
| new product introductions by our competitors or by us; | ||
| our development of custom products and software; | ||
| changes in domestic and international regulatory environments; | ||
| market acceptance of new or existing products; | ||
| the evaluation of new services, new standards and system architectures by many operators; | ||
| the cost and availability of components, subassemblies and modules; | ||
| the mix of our customer base and sales channels; | ||
| the mix of products sold and the effect it has on gross margins; | ||

| impairment of goodwill and intangibles; | ||
| the outcome of litigation; | ||
| write-downs of inventory and investments; | ||
| the impact of applicable accounting guidance that requires us to record the fair value of stock options, restricted stock units and employee stock purchase plan awards as compensation expense; | ||
| changes in our tax rate, including as a result of changes in our valuation allowance against certain of our deferred tax assets, and changes in state tax laws including apportionment, as a result of proposed amended tax rules related to the deferral of foreign earnings; | ||
| the impact of applicable accounting guidance on accounting for uncertainty in income taxes that requires us to establish reserves for uncertain tax positions and accrue potential tax penalties and interest; | ||
| the impact of applicable accounting guidance on business combinations that requires us to record charges for certain acquisition related costs and expenses instead of capitalizing these costs, and generally to expense restructuring costs associated with a business combination subsequent to the acquisition date; and | ||
| general economic conditions. |
The timing of deployment of our equipment can be subject to a number of other risks, including the
availability of skilled engineering and technical personnel, the availability of other equipment
such as compatible set top boxes, our customers ability to negotiate and enter into rights
agreements with video content owners that provide the customers with the right to deliver certain
video content, and our customers need for local franchise and licensing approvals.
In addition, we often recognize a substantial portion, or majority, of our revenues in the last
month of the quarter. We establish our expenditure levels for product development and other
operating expenses based on projected revenue levels, and expenses are relatively fixed in the
short term. Accordingly, variations in timing of revenue can cause significant fluctuations in
operating results.
37
Table of Contents
As a result of these factors, or other factors, our operating results in one or more future periods
may fail to meet or exceed the expectations of securities analysts or investors. In that event, the
trading price of our common stock would likely decline.
The markets in which we operate are intensely competitive.
The markets for digital video systems are extremely competitive and have been characterized by
rapid technological change and declining average selling prices. Pressure on average selling prices
was particularly severe during previous economic downturns as equipment suppliers competed
aggressively for customers reduced capital spending, and we have experienced similar pressure
during the current economic slowdown. Our competitors for edge and access products include
corporations such as Cisco Systems, Motorola and Arris. In our video processing products, we
compete broadly with products from vertically integrated system suppliers including Motorola, Cisco
Systems, Technicolor and Ericsson and, in certain product lines, with a number of smaller
companies.
Many of our competitors are substantially larger and have greater financial, technical, marketing
and other resources than us. Many of these large organizations are in a better position to
withstand any significant reduction in capital spending by customers in these markets. They often
have broader product lines and market focus and may not be as susceptible to downturns in a
particular market. These competitors may also be able to bundle their products together to meet the
needs of a particular customer and may be capable of delivering more complete solutions than we are
able to provide. To the extent that larger enterprises which currently do not compete directly with us choose to enter our
markets by acquisition or otherwise, competition would likely intensify. Further, some of our competitors have greater financial resources than we do, and
they have offered and in the future may offer their products at lower prices than we do or offer
more attractive financing terms, which has in the past and may in the future cause us to lose
revenue or to reduce our prices in response to competition. Any reduction in revenue or reduced
prices for our products would adversely affect our business and results of operations. In addition,
many of our competitors have been in operation longer than we have and therefore have more
long-standing and established relationships with domestic and foreign customers. We may not be able
to compete successfully in the future, which would harm our business.
If any of our competitors products or technologies were to become the industry standard, our
business could be seriously harmed. If our competitors are successful in bringing their products to
market earlier than us, or if these products are more technologically capable than ours, our
revenue could be materially and adversely affected. In addition, certain companies that have not
had a large presence in the broadband communications equipment market have recently begun to expand
their presence in this market through mergers and acquisitions. The continued consolidation of our
competitors could have a significant negative impact on us. Further, our competitors, particularly
companies that offer products that are competitive with our digital video systems, may bundle their
products or incorporate functionality into existing products in a manner that discourages users
from purchasing our products or which may require us to lower our selling prices, resulting in
lower revenues and decreased gross margins.
We need to develop and introduce new and enhanced products in a timely manner to remain
competitive.
Broadband communications markets are characterized by continuing technological advancement, changes
in customer requirements and evolving industry standards. To compete successfully, we must design,
develop, manufacture and sell new or enhanced products that provide increasingly higher levels of
performance and reliability. However, we may not be able to successfully develop or introduce these
products if, among other things, our products:
| are not cost effective; | ||
| are not brought to market in a timely manner; | ||
| are not in accordance with evolving industry standards and architectures; | ||
| fail to achieve market acceptance; or | ||
| are ahead of the market. |
We are currently developing and marketing products based on recently established video compression
standards. Encoding products based on the MPEG-2 compression standards have represented a
significant portion of our revenue since our acquisition of DiviCom in 2000. Newer standards, such
as MPEG-4 AVC/H.264, have been adopted which provide significantly greater compression efficiency,
thereby making more bandwidth available to operators. The availability of more bandwidth is
particularly important to those operators seeking to launch, or expand, HDTV services. We have
developed and launched products, including HD encoders, based on these new standards in order to
remain competitive and are devoting considerable resources to this effort. In addition, we have
recently launched an encoding platform which is capable of being configured for both MPEG-2 and
MPEG-4, in both standard definition and HD formats. There can be no assurance that these efforts
will be successful in the near future, or at all, or that competitors will not take significant
market share in HD encoding. At the same time, we need to devote development resources to the
existing MPEG-2 standard which our cable customers continue to require. Also, to successfully
develop and market certain of our planned products, we may be required to enter into technology
development or licensing agreements with third parties. We cannot assure you that we will be able
to enter into any necessary technology development or licensing agreements on terms acceptable to
us, or at all. If we fail to develop and market new products, our business and operating results
could be materially and adversely affected.
We may not realize the anticipated improvement in our operating results and other benefits expected
from our recently completed acquisition of Scopus, and we may not realize the benefits to our
business from the proposed acquisition of Omneon, any of which could adversely affect our business
and cause our stock price to decline.
Our recently completed acquisition of Scopus involved the integration of two companies that had
previously operated independently. The integration of two previously independent companies is a
challenging, time-consuming and costly process. While the integration process began in March 2009,
when the Scopus acquisition was consummated, it has taken some time to complete the integration.
Further, we recently entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Omneon, and expect to close the
acquisition in the second half of 2010. It is still possible that the process of combining the
companies could result in the loss of key employees, the disruption of our ongoing businesses, or
inconsistencies in standards, controls, procedures, and policies that adversely affect our ability
to maintain relationships with customers, suppliers, and employees. In addition, the successful
combination of the companies requires the dedication of significant management resources, which
could temporarily divert attention from the day-to-day business of the combined company. There can
be no assurance that these challenges will be met, and that we will realize benefits from the
acquisition of Scopus or the acquisition of Omneon. If we are unable to realize these benefits, our
business and operating results may be adversely affected, and our stock price may decline.
We have made and expect to continue to make acquisitions, and such acquisitions could disrupt our
operations and adversely affect our operating results.
As part of our business strategy, from time to time, we have acquired, and continue to consider
acquiring, businesses, technologies, assets and product lines that we believe complement or expand
our existing business. For example, on May 6, 2010, we entered into a definitive agreement to
acquire Omneon, a privately-held company headquartered in Sunnyvale, California and organized under
the laws of Delaware.
Under the terms of the definitive agreement, Harmonic would acquire Omneon for (i) $190 million in
cash plus the aggregate exercise price of vested stock options of Omneon, and subject to further
adjustment based on Omneons cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash position and working
capital position at the time of closing, and (ii) 17.1 million shares of Harmonic common stock. The
cash portion of the purchase price is subject to adjustment in the event that Omneons cash, cash
equivalents and restricted cash are more or less than $32 million at closing, and is also subject
to a working capital adjustment. The definitive agreement contains certain termination rights for
both Harmonic and Omneon, including a fiduciary termination right on the part of Omneon, and
includes provisions requiring Omneon to pay Harmonic a termination fee under certain circumstances.
The proposed acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory approvals, and
is expected to close in the second half of 2010. In addition, on
March 12, 2009, we completed the acquisition of Scopus Video Networks Ltd., on July 31, 2007, we
completed the acquisition of Rhozet Corporation and on December 8, 2006, we acquired the video
networking software business of Entone Technologies, Inc. We expect to make additional acquisitions
in the future.
We may face challenges as a result of these activities, because acquisitions entail numerous risks,
including:
| the possibility that an acquisition may not close because of, among other things, a failure of a party to satisfy the conditions to closing or an acquisition target entering into an alternative transaction; | ||
| unanticipated costs or delays associated with the acquisition transaction; | ||
| difficulties in the assimilation and integration of acquired operations, technologies and/or products; | ||
| the diversion of managements attention from the regular operations of the business and the challenges of managing a larger and more widespread operation and product portfolio; | ||
| difficulties in integrating acquired companies systems, controls, policies and procedures to comply with the internal control over financial reporting requirements of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002; | ||
| adverse effects on new and existing business relationships with suppliers and customers; | ||
| channel conflicts and disputes between distributors and other partners of us and the acquired companies; | ||
| potential difficulties in completing projects associated with in-process research and development; |
| risks associated with entering markets in which we have no or limited prior experience; | ||
| the potential loss of key employees of acquired businesses; | ||
| difficulties in the assimilation of different corporate cultures and practices; | ||
| difficulties in bringing acquired products and businesses into compliance with applicable legal requirements in jurisdictions in which we operate and sell products; | ||
| substantial charges for acquisition costs, which are required to be expensed under recent accounting guidance on business combinations; | ||
| substantial charges for the amortization of certain purchased intangible assets, deferred stock compensation or similar items; | ||
| substantial impairments to goodwill or intangible assets in the event that an acquisition proves to be less valuable than the price we paid for it; and | ||
| delays in realizing or failure to realize the benefits of an acquisition. |
For example, the government grants that Scopus received for research and development expenditures
limits its ability to manufacture products and transfer technologies outside of Israel, and if
Scopus fails to satisfy specified conditions, it may be required to refund grants previously
received together with interest and penalties and may be subject to criminal charges.
Competition within our industry for acquisitions of businesses, technologies, assets and product
lines has been, and may in the future continue to be, intense. As such, even if we are able to
identify an acquisition that we would like to consummate, we may not be able to complete the
acquisition on commercially reasonable terms or because the target is acquired by another company.
Furthermore, in the event that we are able to identify and consummate any future acquisitions, we
could:
| issue equity securities which would dilute current stockholders percentage ownership; | ||
| incur substantial debt; | ||
| incur significant acquisition-related expenses; | ||
| assume contingent liabilities; or | ||
| expend significant cash. |
These financing activities or expenditures could harm our business, operating results and financial
condition or the price of our common stock. Alternatively, due to difficulties in the capital and
credit markets, we may be unable to secure capital on acceptable terms, or at all, to complete
acquisitions.
Moreover, even if we do obtain benefits from acquisitions in the form of increased revenue and
earnings, there may be a delay between the time when the expenses associated with an acquisition
are incurred and the time when we recognize such benefits.
If we are unable to successfully address any of these risks, our business, financial condition or
operating results could be harmed.
Our future growth depends on market acceptance of several broadband services, on the adoption of
new broadband technologies and on several other broadband industry trends.
Future demand for our products will depend significantly on the growing market acceptance of
emerging broadband services, including digital video, VOD, HDTV, IPTV, mobile video services, and
very high-speed data services.
The effective delivery of these services will depend, in part, on a variety of new network
architectures and standards, such as:
| video compression standards such as MPEG-4 AVC/H.264 for both standard definition and high definition services; | ||
| fiber to the premises, or FTTP, and digital subscriber line, or DSL, networks designed to facilitate the delivery of video services by telcos; | ||
| the greater use of protocols such as IP; | ||
| the further adoption of bandwidth-optimization techniques, such as switched digital video and DOCSIS 3.0; and | ||
| the introduction of new consumer devices, such as advanced set-top boxes, personal video recorders, or PVRs, and a variety of smart phone mobile devices, such as the iPhone. |
38
Table of Contents
If adoption of these emerging services and/or technologies is not as widespread or as rapid as we
expect, or if we are unable to develop new products based on these technologies on a timely basis,
our net revenue growth will be materially and adversely affected.
Furthermore, other technological, industry and regulatory trends will affect the growth of our
business. These trends include the following:
| convergence, or the need of many network operators to deliver a package of video, voice and data services to consumers, including mobile delivery options; | ||
| the increasing availability of traditional broadcast video content on the Internet; | ||
| the entry of telcos into the video business; | ||
| the use of digital video by businesses, governments and educational institutions; | ||
| efforts by regulators and governments in the U.S. and abroad to encourage the adoption of broadband and digital technologies; | ||
| the extent and nature of regulatory attitudes towards such issues as network neutrality, competition between operators, access by third parties to networks of other operators, local franchising requirements for telcos to offer video, and other new services such as mobile video; and | ||
| the outcome of litigation and negotiations between content owners and service providers regarding rights of service providers to store and distribute recorded broadcast content. |
In 2006, Cablevision announced a plan to offer a network-based digital video recorder service to
its customers. In order for Cablevision and other cable companies to deliver a network-based
digital video recorder service broadly to their customers, they need to continue to enhance their
networks and distribution capabilities by upgrading their video distribution hardware and software,
which we believe will enhance the demand for our products and services.
Shortly following Cablevisions announcement that it planned to offer a network-based digital video
recorder service to its customers, several major entertainment networks and video production
studios sued Cablevision in federal court to enjoin Cablevision from offering this service without
securing licensing or programming rights from the content providers. This case was resolved in
favor of Cablevision. However, in the event that similar challenges against cable operators
offering network-based digital video recorder services are successful, cable operators may not be
able to provide a network-based digital video recorder service to their customers, which could
reduce the growth in demand for our products and services.
Conditions
and changes in some national and global economic environments may adversely affect our
business and financial results.
Adverse economic conditions in markets in which we operate may harm our business. Recently,
economic conditions in some countries in which we operate and sell products have been weak, and
global financial markets have experienced a severe downturn stemming from a multitude of factors,
including adverse credit conditions, slower economic activity, concerns about inflation and
deflation,
rapid changes in foreign exchange rates, increased energy costs, decreased consumer confidence,
reduced corporate profits and capital spending, adverse business conditions and liquidity concerns
and other factors. Economic growth in the U.S. and in many other countries slowed in the fourth
quarter of 2007, remained slow or stopped in 2008, and slowed further or remained relatively flat
in 2009 in the U.S. and internationally. The global economic slowdown led many of our customers to
decrease their expenditures in 2009, and we believe that this slowdown caused certain of our
customers to reduce or delay orders for our products. Many of our international customers,
particularly those in emerging markets, have been exposed to tight credit markets and depreciating
currencies, further restricting their ability to build out or upgrade their networks. Some
customers have difficulty in servicing or retiring existing debt and the financial constraints on
certain international customers required us to significantly increase our allowance for doubtful
accounts in the fourth quarter of 2008.
During challenging economic times, and in tight credit markets, many customers may delay or reduce
capital expenditures. This could result in reductions in revenue of our products, longer revenue
cycles, difficulties in collection of accounts receivable, slower adoption of new technologies and
increased price competition. If global economic and market conditions, or economic conditions in
the United States or other key markets remain weak or deteriorate further, we may experience a
material and adverse impact on our business, results of operations and financial condition.

Broadband communications markets are characterized by rapid technological change.
Broadband communications markets are subject to rapid changes, making it difficult to accurately
predict the markets future growth rates, sizes or technological directions. In view of the
evolving nature of these markets, it is possible that cable television operators, telcos or other
suppliers of broadband wireless and satellite services will decide to adopt alternative
architectures or technologies that are incompatible with our current or future products. Also,
decisions by customers to adopt new technologies or products are often delayed by extensive
evaluation and qualification processes and can result in delays in revenue of current products. If
we are unable to design, develop, manufacture and sell products that incorporate or are compatible
with these new architectures or technologies, our business will suffer.
We depend on our international revenue and are subject to the risks associated with international
operations, which may negatively affect our operating results.
Revenue derived from customers outside of the U.S. in the first six months of 2010 and fiscal years
2009 and 2008 represented 49%, 49% and 44% of net revenue, respectively, and we expect that
international revenue will continue to represent a meaningful portion of our net revenue for the
foreseeable future. Furthermore, a substantial portion of our contract manufacturing occurs
overseas. Our international operations, the international operations of our contract manufacturers
and our efforts to increase revenue in international markets are subject to a number of risks,
including:
| a slowdown in international economies, which may adversely affect our customers capital spending; | ||
| changes in foreign government regulations and telecommunications standards; |
40
Table of Contents
| import and export license requirements, tariffs, taxes and other trade barriers; | ||
| fluctuations in currency exchange rates; | ||
| a significant reliance on distributors, resellers and other third parties to sell our products and solutions; | ||
| difficulty in collecting accounts receivable, especially from smaller customers and resellers; | ||
| compliance with the U.S. Foreign Corrupt Practices Act, or FCPA; | ||
| the burden of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws, treaties and technical standards; | ||
| fulfilling country of origin requirements for our products for certain customers; | ||
| difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations; | ||
| political and economic instability, including risks related to terrorist activity; and | ||
| changes in economic policies by foreign governments. |
In the past, certain of our international customers accumulated significant levels of debt and have
undertaken reorganizations and financial restructurings, including bankruptcy proceedings. Even
where these restructurings have been completed, in some cases these customers have not been in a
position to purchase new equipment at levels we have seen in the past.
While our international revenue and operating expenses have typically been denominated in U.S.
dollars, fluctuations in currency exchange rates could cause our products to become relatively more
expensive to customers in a particular country, leading to a reduction in revenue or profitability
in that country. A portion of our European business is denominated in Euros, which subjects us to
increased foreign currency risk. Gains and losses on the conversion to U.S. dollars of accounts
receivable, accounts payable and other monetary assets and liabilities arising from international
operations may contribute to fluctuations in operating results.
Furthermore, payment cycles for international customers are typically longer than those for
customers in the U.S. Unpredictable sales cycles could cause us to fail to meet or exceed the
expectations of security analysts and investors for any given period.
Our operations outside the United States also require us to comply with a number of United States
and international regulations. For example, our operations in countries outside the United States
are subject to the FCPA and similar laws, which prohibits United States companies or their agents
and employees from providing anything of value to a foreign official for the purposes of
influencing any act or decision of these individuals in their official capacity to help obtain or
retain business, direct business to any person or corporate entity or obtain any unfair advantage.
Our activities in countries outside the United States create the risk of unauthorized payments or
offers of payments by one of our employees or agents, including those companies to which we
outsource certain of our business operations, which could be in violation of the FCPA, even though
these parties are not always subject to our control. We have internal control policies and
procedures and have implemented training and compliance programs for our employees and agents with
respect to the FCPA. However, we cannot assure you that our policies, procedures and programs will
prevent violations of the FCPA or similar laws by our employees or agents, particularly as we
expand our international operations. Any such violation, even if prohibited by our policies, could
result in criminal or civil sanctions, and this could have a material adverse effect on our
business, financial condition and results of operations.
Any or all of these factors could adversely impact our business and results of operations.
We face risks associated with having important facilities and resources located in Israel.
When we completed the acquisition of Scopus in March 2009, Scopus was headquartered and had a
substantial majority of its operations in Israel. This acquisition resulted in the addition of 221
employees based in Israel. In addition, we maintain a facility in Caesarea in Israel with a total
of 86 employees. The employees at the Caesarea facility consist principally of research and
41
Table of Contents
development personnel. We have pilot production capabilities at this facility consisting of
procurement of subassemblies and modules from Israeli subcontractors and final assembly and test
operations. As of July 2, 2010, we had a total of 228 employees based in Israel, or approximately
27% of our workforce.
Accordingly, we are directly influenced by the political, economic and military conditions
affecting Israel, and this influence has increased with the acquisition of Scopus. Any significant
conflict involving Israel could have a direct effect on our business or that of our Israeli
subcontractors, in the form of physical damage or injury, reluctance to travel within or to Israel
by our Israeli and foreign employees or those of our subcontractors, or the loss of employees to
active military duty. Most of our employees in Israel are currently obligated to perform annual
reserve duty in the Israel Defense Forces and several have been called for active military duty in
recent years. In the event that more employees are called to active duty, certain of our research
and development activities may be adversely affected and significantly delayed. In addition, the
interruption or curtailment of trade between Israel and its trading partners could significantly
harm our business. Terrorist attacks and hostilities within Israel, the hostilities between Israel
and Hezbollah, and Israel and Hamas, the conflict between Hamas and Fatah, as well as tensions
between Israel and Iran, have also heightened these risks. Current or future tensions in the Middle
East may adversely affect our business and results of operations.
Fluctuations in our future effective tax rates could affect our future operating results, financial
condition and cash flows.
We have evaluated the need for a valuation allowance based on historical evidence, trends in
profitability, expectations of future taxable income and implemented tax planning strategies. As
such in 2008, we determined that a valuation allowance was no longer necessary for certain of our
U.S. deferred tax assets because, based on the available evidence, we concluded that a realization
of these net deferred tax assets was more likely than not. We continue to maintain a valuation
allowance for certain foreign deferred tax assets and recorded a valuation allowance on certain of
our California deferred tax assets in the first quarter of 2009 as a result of our expectations of
future usage of the California deferred tax assets. We are required to periodically review our
deferred tax assets and determine whether, based on available evidence, a valuation allowance is
necessary. In the event that, in the future, we determine an additional valuation allowance is
necessary with respect to our U.S. and certain foreign deferred tax assets, we would incur a charge
equal to the amount of the valuation allowance in the period in which we made such determination as
a discrete item, and this could have a material and adverse impact on our results of operations for
such period.
The calculation of tax liabilities involves dealing with uncertainties in the application of
complex global tax regulations. We recognize potential liabilities for anticipated tax audit issues
in the U.S. and other tax jurisdictions based on our estimate of whether, and the extent to which,
additional taxes will be due. If payment of these amounts ultimately proves to be unnecessary, the
reversal of the liabilities would result in tax benefits being recognized in the period when we
determine the liabilities are no longer necessary. If the estimate of tax liabilities proves to be
less than the ultimate tax assessment, a further charge to expense would result.
We are in the process of expanding our international operations and staffing to better support our
expansion into international markets. This expansion includes the implementation of an
international structure that includes, among other things, an international support center in
Europe, a research and development cost-sharing arrangement, certain licenses and other contractual
arrangements between us and our wholly-owned domestic and foreign subsidiaries. As a result of
these changes, we anticipate that our consolidated pre-tax income will be subject to foreign tax at
relatively lower tax rates when compared to the United States federal statutory tax rate and, as a
consequence, our effective income tax rate is expected to be lower than the United States federal
statutory rate. However, the current administration has begun to put forward proposals that may, if
enacted, limit the ability of U.S. companies to continue to defer U.S. income taxes on foreign
income. In addition, recent statements from the IRS have indicated their intent to seek greater
disclosure by companies of their reserves for uncertain tax positions.
Our future effective income tax rates could be adversely affected if tax authorities challenge our
international tax structure or if the relative mix of United States and international income
changes for any reason. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that our income tax rate will be
less than the United States federal statutory rate in future periods.
Changes in telecommunications legislation and regulations could harm our prospects and future
revenue.
Changes in telecommunications legislation and regulations in the U.S. and other countries could
affect the revenue from our products. In particular, regulations dealing with access by competitors
to the networks of incumbent operators could slow or stop additional construction or expansion by
these operators. Increased regulation of our customers pricing or service offerings could limit
their
42
Table of Contents
investments and consequently the revenue from our products. Changes in regulations could have a
material adverse effect on our business, operating results, and financial condition.
Negative conditions in the global credit and financial markets may impair the liquidity of a
portion of our investment portfolio.
The recent negative conditions in the global credit and financial markets have had an adverse
impact on the liquidity of certain investments. In the event we need or desire to access funds from
the short-term investments that we hold, it is possible that we may not be able to do so due to
market conditions. If a buyer is found but is unwilling to purchase the investments at par or our
cost, we may incur a loss. Further, rating downgrades of the security issuer or the third parties
insuring such investments may require us to adjust the carrying value of these investments through
an impairment charge. Our inability to sell all or some of our short-term investments at par or our
cost, or rating downgrades of issuers of these securities, could adversely affect our results of
operations or financial condition.
In addition, we invest our cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments in a variety of
investment vehicles in a number of countries with and in the custody of financial institutions with
high credit ratings. While our investment policy and strategy attempt to manage interest rate risk,
limit credit risk, and only invest in what we view as very high-quality securities, the outlook for
our investment holdings is dependent on general economic conditions, interest rate trends and
volatility in the financial marketplace, which can all affect the income that we receive, the value
of our investments, and our ability to sell them.
During 2008, we recorded an impairment charge of $0.8 million relating to an investment in an
unsecured debt instrument of Lehman Brothers Holdings, Inc. We believe that our investment
securities are carried at fair value. However, over time the economic and market environment may
provide additional insight regarding the fair value of certain securities which could change our
judgment regarding impairment. This could result in unrealized or realized losses relating to other
than temporary declines being charged against future income. Given the current market conditions
involved, there is continuing risk that further declines in fair value may occur and additional
impairments may be charged to income in future periods.
In order to manage our growth, we must be successful in addressing management succession issues and
attracting and retaining qualified personnel.
Our future success will depend, to a significant extent, on the ability of our management to
operate effectively, both individually and as a group. We must successfully manage transition and
replacement issues that may result from the departure or retirement of members of our senior
management. For example, we recently hired a new Chief Financial Officer. We cannot assure you that
changes of management personnel would not cause disruption to our operations or customer
relationships, or a decline in our financial results.
In addition, we are dependent on our ability to retain and motivate high caliber personnel, in
addition to attracting new personnel. Competition for qualified management, technical and other
personnel can be intense and we may not be successful in attracting and retaining such personnel.
Competitors and others have in the past and may in the future attempt to recruit our employees.
While our employees are required to sign standard agreements concerning confidentiality and
ownership of inventions, we generally do not have employment contracts or non-competition
agreements with any of our personnel. The loss of the services of any of our key personnel, the
inability to attract or retain qualified personnel in the future or delays in hiring required
personnel, particularly senior management and engineers and other technical personnel, could
negatively affect our business.
Stock exchange regulations related to equity compensation could adversely affect our ability to
raise capital and our ability to attract and retain key personnel.
Since our inception, we have used equity compensation, including stock options, restricted stock
units and employee stock purchase plan awards, as a fundamental component of our employee
compensation packages. We believe that our equity incentive plans are an essential tool to link the
long-term interests of stockholders and employees, especially executive management, and serve to
motivate management to make decisions that will, in the long run, give the best returns to
stockholders. The Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued guidance that requires us
to record a charge to earnings for employee stock options, restricted stock unit grants and
employee stock purchase plan awards for all periods from January 1, 2006. This guidance has
negatively impacted and will continue to negatively impact our earnings and may affect our ability
to raise capital on acceptable terms. For the first six months of
43
Table of Contents
2010, stock-based compensation expense recognized under this guidance was $6.7 million, which
consisted of stock-based compensation expense related to restricted stock units, stock options and
employee stock purchases plan awards.
In addition, regulations implemented by the NASDAQ Stock Market requiring stockholder approval for
all equity incentive plans could make it more difficult for us to grant options or restricted stock
units to employees in the future. To the extent that new accounting guidance make it more difficult
or expensive to grant options or restricted stock units to employees, we may incur increased
compensation costs, change our equity compensation strategy or find it difficult to attract, retain
and motivate employees, each of which could materially and adversely affect our business.
We are exposed to additional costs and risks associated with complying with increasing regulation
of corporate governance and disclosure standards.
We are spending an increased amount of management time and external resources to comply with
changing laws, regulations and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure,
including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, SEC regulations and the NASDAQ Stock Market rules. In
particular, Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires managements annual review and
evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting and attestation of the effectiveness of
our internal control over financial reporting by our independent registered public accounting firm
in connection with the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K for each fiscal year. We have
documented and tested our internal control systems and procedures and have made improvements in
order for us to comply with the requirements of Section 404. This process required us to hire
additional personnel and outside advisory services and has resulted in significant additional
expenses. While our managements assessment of our internal control over financial reporting
resulted in our conclusion that as of December 31, 2009, our internal control over financial
reporting was effective, and our independent registered public accounting firm has attested that
our internal control over financial reporting was effective in all material respects as of December
31, 2009, we cannot predict the outcome of our testing and that of our independent registered
public accounting firm in future periods. If we conclude in future periods that our internal
control over financial reporting is not effective or if our independent registered public
accounting firm is unable to provide an unqualified attestation as of future year-ends, investors
may lose confidence in our financial statements, and the price of our stock may suffer.
We may need additional capital in the future and may not be able to secure adequate funds on terms
acceptable to us.
We have generated substantial operating losses since we began operations in June 1988. We have been
engaged in the design, manufacture and sale of a variety of video products and system solutions
since inception, which has required, and will continue to require, significant research and
development expenditures. As of December 31, 2009 we had an accumulated deficit of $1.9 billion.
These losses, among other things, have had and may have an adverse effect on our stockholders
equity and working capital.
On May 6, 2010, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Omneon, a privately-held company
headquartered in Sunnyvale, California and organized under the laws of Delaware. Under the terms of
the definitive agreement, Harmonic would acquire Omneon for (i) $190 million in cash plus the
aggregate exercise price of vested stock options of Omneon, and subject to further adjustment based
on Omneons cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash position and working capital position at the
time of closing, and (ii) 17.1 million shares of Harmonic common stock. The cash portion of the
purchase price is subject to adjustment in the event that Omneons cash, cash equivalents and
restricted cash are more or less than $32 million at closing, and is also subject to a working
capital adjustment. The proposed acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and
regulatory approvals, and is expected to close in the second half of 2010. In order to complete this acquisition, we would be required to expend a significant amount
of our existing cash and cash equivalents balance.
Taking into account the proposed acquisition of Omneon and the expected use of cash required to
complete the transaction, we believe that our existing liquidity sources will satisfy our cash
requirements for at least the next twelve months. However, we may need to raise additional funds if
our expectations are incorrect, to take advantage of unanticipated strategic opportunities, to
satisfy our other liabilities, or to strengthen our financial position. Our ability to raise funds
may be adversely affected by a number of factors relating to Harmonic, as well as factors beyond
our control, including weakness in the economic conditions in markets in which we operate and into
which we sell our products, increased uncertainty in the financial, capital and credit markets, as
well as conditions in the cable and satellite industries. In particular, companies are experiencing
difficulty raising capital from issuances of debt or equity securities in the current capital
market environment, and may also have difficulty securing credit financing. There can be no
assurance that such financing will be available on terms acceptable to us, if at all.
44
Table of Contents
In addition, we actively review potential acquisitions that would complement our existing product
offerings, enhance our technical capabilities or expand our marketing and sales presence. Any
future transaction of this nature could require potentially significant amounts of capital to
finance the acquisition and related expenses as well as to integrate operations following a
transaction, and could require us to issue our stock and dilute existing stockholders. If adequate
funds are not available, or are not available on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take
advantage of market opportunities, to develop new products or to otherwise respond to competitive
pressures.
We may raise additional financing through public or private equity offerings, debt financings or
additional corporate collaboration and licensing arrangements. To the extent we raise additional
capital by issuing equity securities, our stockholders may experience dilution. To the extent that
we raise additional funds through collaboration and licensing arrangements, it may be necessary to
relinquish some rights to our technologies or products, or grant licenses on terms that are not
favorable to us. For example, debt financing arrangements may require us to pledge assets or enter
into covenants that could restrict our operations or our ability to incur further indebtedness. If
adequate funds are not available, we will not be able to continue developing our products.
If demand for our products increases more quickly than we expect, we may be unable to meet our
customers requirements.
If demand for our products increases, the difficulty of accurately forecasting our customers
requirements and meeting these requirements will increase. Forecasting to meet customers needs and
effectively managing our supply chain is particularly difficult in connection with newer products.
Our ability to meet customer demand depends significantly on the availability of components and
other materials as well as the ability of our contract manufacturers to scale their production.
Furthermore, we purchase several key components, subassemblies and modules used in the manufacture
or integration of our products from sole or limited sources. Our ability to meet customer
requirements depends in part on our ability to obtain sufficient volumes of these materials in a
timely fashion. Recent increases in demand on our suppliers and subcontractors from other parties
have caused sporadic shortages of certain components and products. In response, we have increased
our inventories of certain components and products and expedited shipments of our products when
necessary, which has increased our costs. Also, in previous years, in response to lower revenue and
the prolonged economic recession, we significantly reduced our headcount and other expenses. As a
result, we may be unable to respond to customer demand that increases more quickly than we expect.
If we fail to meet customers supply expectations, our net revenue would be adversely affected and
we may lose business.
We purchase several key components, subassemblies and modules used in the manufacture or
integration of our products from sole or limited sources, and we are increasingly dependent on
contract manufacturers.
Many components, subassemblies and modules necessary for the manufacture or integration of our
products are obtained from a sole supplier or a limited group of suppliers. For example, we depend
on a small private company for certain video encoding chips which are incorporated into several new
products. Our reliance on sole or limited suppliers, particularly foreign suppliers, and our
increased reliance on subcontractors involves several risks, including a potential inability to
obtain an adequate supply of required components, subassemblies or modules and, reduced control
over pricing, quality and timely delivery of components, subassemblies or modules. In particular,
certain optical components have in the past been in short supply and are available only from a
small number of suppliers, including sole source suppliers. These risks are heightened during the
current economic slowdown, because our suppliers and subcontractors are more likely to experience
adverse changes in their financial condition and operations during such a period. While we expend
resources to qualify additional component sources, consolidation of suppliers in the industry and
the small number of viable alternatives have limited the results of these efforts. We do not
generally maintain long-term agreements with any of our suppliers. Managing our supplier and
contractor relationships is particularly difficult during time periods in which we introduce new
products and during time periods in which demand for our products is increasing, especially if
demand increases more quickly than we expect. Furthermore, from time to time we assess our
relationship with our contract manufacturers. In 2003, we entered into a three-year agreement with
Plexus Services Corp. as our primary contract manufacturer, and Plexus currently provides us with a
majority of the products that we purchase from our contract manufacturers. This agreement has
automatic annual renewals unless prior notice is given and has been renewed until October 2010.
Difficulties in managing relationships with current contract manufacturers, particularly Plexus,
could impede our ability to meet our customers requirements and adversely affect our operating
results. An inability to obtain adequate deliveries or any other circumstance that would require us
to seek alternative sources of supply could negatively affect our ability to ship our products on a
timely basis, which could damage relationships with current and prospective customers and harm our
business. We attempt to limit this risk by maintaining safety stocks of certain components,
subassemblies and modules. Recent increases in demand on our suppliers
45
Table of Contents
and subcontractors from other parties have caused sporadic shortages of certain components and
products. In response, we have increased our inventories of certain components and products and
expedited shipments of our products when necessary, which has increased our costs. As a result of
this investment in inventories, we have in the past and in the future may be subject to risk of
excess and obsolete inventories, which could harm our business, operating results, financial
position or cash flows. In this regard, our gross margins and operating results in the past were
adversely affected by significant excess and obsolete inventory charges.
Cessation of the development and production of video encoding chips by C-Cubes spun-off
semiconductor business may adversely impact us.
Our DiviCom business, which we acquired in 2000, and the C-Cube semiconductor business (acquired by
LSI Logic in June 2001) collaborated on the production and development of two video encoding
microelectronic chips prior to our acquisition of the DiviCom business. In connection with the
acquisition, we have entered into a contractual relationship with the spun-off semiconductor
business of C-Cube, under which we have access to certain of the spun-off semiconductor business
technologies and products on which the DiviCom business depends for certain product and service
offerings. The current term of this agreement is through October 2010, with automatic annual
renewals unless terminated by either party in accordance with the agreement provisions. On July 27,
2007, LSI announced that it had completed the sale of its consumer products business (which
includes the design and manufacture of encoding chips) to Magnum Semiconductor, and the agreement
which provides us with access to certain of the spun-off semiconductor business technologies and
products was assigned to Magnum Semiconductor. If the spun-off semiconductor business is not able
to or does not sustain its development and production efforts in this area, our business, financial
condition, results of operations and cash flow could be harmed.
We rely on distributors, value-added resellers and systems integrators for a substantial portion of
our revenue, and disruptions to, or our failure to develop and manage our relationships with these
customers and the processes and procedures that support them could adversely affect our business.
We generate a substantial portion of our revenue through net sales to distributors, value-added
resellers, or VARs, and systems integrators. We expect that these sales will continue to generate a
substantial percentage of our net revenue in the future. Our future success is highly dependent
upon establishing and maintaining successful relationships with a variety of distributors, VARs and
systems integrators that specialize in video delivery solutions, products and services, and our
reliance on such customers has increased since the completion of our acquisition of Scopus in the
first quarter of 2009.
We generally have no long-term contracts or minimum purchase commitments with any of our
distributor, VAR or system integrator customers, and our contracts with these parties do not
prohibit them from purchasing or offering products or services that compete with ours. Our
competitors may be effective in providing incentives to our distributor, VAR and systems integrator
customers to favor their products or to prevent or reduce sales of our products. Our distributor,
VAR or systems integrator customers may choose not to purchase or offer our products. Many of our
distributors, VARs and system integrators are small, are based in a variety of international
locations and may have relatively unsophisticated processes and limited financial resources to
conduct their business. Any significant disruption to our sales to these customers, including as a
result of the inability or unwillingness of these customers to continue purchasing our products, or
their failure to properly manage their business with respect to the purchase of and payment for our
products, could materially and adversely impact our business and results of operations. In
addition, our failure to establish and maintain successful relationships with distributor, VAR and
systems integrator customers would likely materially and adversely affect our business, operating
results and financial condition.
We need to effectively manage our operations and the cyclical nature of our business.
The cyclical nature of our business has placed, and is expected to continue to place, a significant
strain on our personnel, management and other resources. Our purchase of the video networking
software business of Entone in December 2006 resulted in the addition of 43 employees, most of whom
are based in Hong Kong, and we added approximately 18 employees on July 31, 2007, in connection
with the completion of our acquisition of Rhozet. Upon the closing of the acquisition of Scopus, we
added 221 employees on March 12, 2009, most of whom are based in Israel. Our ability to manage our
business effectively in the future, including any future growth, will require us to train, motivate
and manage our employees successfully, to attract and integrate new employees into our overall
operations, to retain key employees and to continue to improve our operational, financial and
management systems.

Table of Contents
We are subject to various laws and regulations related to the environment and potential climate
change that could impose substantial costs upon us and may adversely affect our business, operating
results and financial condition.
Our operations are regulated under various federal, state, local and international laws relating to
the environment and potential climate change, including those governing the management, disposal
and labeling of hazardous substances and wastes and the cleanup of contaminated sites. We could
incur costs and fines, third-party property damage or personal injury claims, or could be required
to incur substantial investigation or remediation costs, if we were to violate or become liable
under environmental laws. The ultimate costs under these laws and the timing of these costs are
difficult to predict.
We also face increasing complexity in our product design as we adjust to new and future
requirements relating to the presence of certain substances in electronic products and making
producers of those products financially responsible for the collection, treatment, recycling, and
disposal of certain products. For example, the European Parliament and the Council of the European
Union have enacted the Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) directive, which regulates
the collection, recovery, and recycling of waste from electrical and electronic products, and the
Restriction on the Use of Certain Hazardous Substances in Electrical and Electronic Equipment
(RoHS) directive, which bans the use of certain hazardous materials including lead, mercury,
cadmium, hexavalent chromium, and polybrominated biphenyls (PBBs), and polybrominated diphenyl
ethers (PBDEs) that exceed certain specified levels. Legislation similar to RoHS and WEEE has been
or may be enacted in other jurisdictions, including in the United States, Japan, and China. Our
failure to comply with these laws could result in our being directly or indirectly liable for
costs, fines or penalties and third-party claims, and could jeopardize our ability to conduct
business in such countries. We also expect that our operations will be affected by other new
environmental laws and regulations on an ongoing basis. Although we cannot predict the ultimate
impact of any such new laws and regulations, they will likely result in additional costs or
decreased revenue, and could require that we redesign or change how we manufacture our products,
any of which could have a material adverse effect on our business.
We are liable for C-Cubes pre-merger liabilities, including liabilities resulting from the
spin-off of its semiconductor business.
Under the terms of the merger agreement with C-Cube, Harmonic is generally liable for C-Cubes
pre-merger liabilities. Harmonic and LSI Logic, which acquired C-Cubes spun off semiconductor
business in June 2001 and assumed its obligations, reached a settlement agreement in the second
quarter of 2009, which resulted in Harmonic reimbursing LSI Logic $1.0 million of the outstanding
liability to settle any future outstanding claims. As a result, the full amount of the estimated
obligations was transferred to LSI Logic in the second quarter of 2009. To the extent that these
obligations are finally settled for more than the amounts reimbursed by Harmonic, LSI Logic is
obligated, under the terms of the settlement agreement, to reimburse Harmonic.
Our failure to adequately protect our proprietary rights may adversely affect us.
We currently hold 42 issued U.S. patents and 9 issued foreign patents, and have a number of patent
applications pending. Although we attempt to protect our intellectual property rights through
patents, trademarks, copyrights, licensing arrangements, maintaining certain technology as trade
secrets and other measures, we cannot assure you that any patent, trademark, copyright or other
intellectual property rights owned by us will not be invalidated, circumvented or challenged, that
such intellectual property rights will provide competitive advantages to us or that any of our
pending or future patent applications will be issued with the scope of the claims sought by us, if
at all. We cannot assure you that others will not develop technologies that are similar or superior
to our technology, duplicate our technology or design around the patents that we own. In addition,
effective patent, copyright and trade secret protection may be unavailable or limited in certain
foreign countries in which we do business or may do business in the future.
We believe that patents and patent applications are not currently significant to our business, and
investors therefore should not rely on our patent portfolio to give us a competitive advantage over
others in our industry. We believe that the future success of our business will depend on our
ability to translate the technological expertise and innovation of our personnel into new and
enhanced products. We generally enter into confidentiality or license agreements with our
employees, consultants, vendors and customers as needed, and generally limit access to and
distribution of our proprietary information. Nevertheless, we cannot assure you that the steps
taken by us will prevent misappropriation of our technology. In addition, we have taken in the
past, and may take in the future, legal action to enforce our patents and other intellectual
property rights, to protect our trade secrets, to determine the validity and scope of the
proprietary rights of others, or to defend against claims of infringement or invalidity. Such
litigation could result in substantial costs and diversion of resources and could negatively affect
our business, operating results, financial position or cash flows.

Table of Contents
In order to successfully develop and market certain of our planned products, we may be required to
enter into technology development or licensing agreements with third parties. Although many
companies are often willing to enter into technology development or licensing agreements, we cannot
assure you that such agreements will be negotiated on terms acceptable to us, or at all. The
failure to enter into technology development or licensing agreements, when necessary or desirable,
could limit our ability to develop and market new products and could cause our business to suffer.
Our products include third-party technology and intellectual property, and our inability to use
that technology in the future could harm our business.
We incorporate certain third-party technologies, including software programs, into our products,
and intend to utilize additional third-party technologies in the future. Licenses to relevant
third-party technologies or updates to those technologies may not continue to be available to us on
commercially reasonable terms, or at all. In addition, the technologies that we license may not
operate properly and we may not be able to secure alternatives in a timely manner, which could harm
our business. We could face delays in product releases until alternative technology can be
identified, licensed or developed, and integrated into our products, if we are able to do so at
all. These delays, or a failure to secure or develop adequate technology, could materially and
adversely affect our business.
We or our customers may face intellectual property infringement claims from third parties.
Our industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent claims and
related litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In particular, leading
companies in the telecommunications industry have extensive patent portfolios. From time to time,
third parties have asserted and may assert patent, copyright, trademark and other intellectual
property rights against us or our customers. Our suppliers and customers may have similar claims
asserted against them. A number of third parties, including companies with greater financial and
other resources than us, have asserted patent rights to technologies that are important to us. Any
future litigation, regardless of its outcome, could result in substantial expense and significant
diversion of the efforts of our management and technical personnel. An adverse determination in any
such proceeding could subject us to significant liabilities, temporary or permanent injunctions or
require us to seek licenses from third parties or pay royalties that may be substantial.
Furthermore, necessary licenses may not be available on satisfactory terms, or at all. An
unfavorable outcome on any such litigation matters could require that Harmonic pay substantial
damages, or, in connection with any intellectual property infringement claims, could require that
we pay ongoing royalty payments or could prevent us from selling certain of our products and any
such outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results, financial
position or cash flows.
On April 19, 2010, Arris Corporation filed a complaint in United States District Court in Atlanta,
alleging that Harmonics Streamliner 3000 product infringes four patents held by Arris. The
complaint seeks injunctive relief and damages. Harmonic has not been served in the case. Harmonic
is currently evaluating its position with respect to these patents. At this time, we cannot predict
the outcome of this matter. An unfavorable outcome of this matter could adversely affect our
business, operating results, financial position or cash flows.
On July 3, 2003, Stanford University and Litton Systems (now Northrop Grumman Guidance and
Electronics Company, Inc.) filed a complaint in U.S. District Court for the Central District of
California alleging that optical fiber amplifiers incorporated into certain of our products
infringe U.S. Patent No. 4859016. This patent expired in September 2003. The complaint sought
injunctive relief, royalties and damages. On August 6, 2007, the District Court granted our motion
to dismiss. The plaintiffs appealed this motion and on June 19, 2008 the U.S. Court of Appeals for
the Federal Circuit issued a decision which vacated the District Courts decision and remanded for
further proceedings. At a scheduling conference on October 6, 2008, the judge ordered the parties
to mediation. Following the mediation sessions, Harmonic and Litton entered into a settlement
agreement on January 15, 2009. The settlement agreement provided that in exchange for a one-time
lump sum payment from Harmonic to Litton of $5 million, Litton (i) will not bring suit against
Harmonic, any of its affiliates, customers, vendors, representatives, distributors, and its
contract manufacturers for any liability for making, using, offering for sale, importing, and/or
selling any Harmonic products that may have incorporated technology that was alleged to have
infringed on one or more of the relevant patents and (ii) released Harmonic from any liability for
making, using, or selling any Harmonic products that may have infringed on such patents. Harmonic
paid the settlement amount in January 2009.
Our suppliers and customers may have similar claims asserted against them. We have agreed to
indemnify some of our suppliers and customers for alleged patent infringement. The scope of this
indemnity varies, but, in some instances, includes indemnification for damages and expenses
(including reasonable attorneys fees).
48
Table of Contents
We may be the subject of litigation which, if adversely determined, could harm our business and
operating results.
In addition to the litigation discussed elsewhere in this quarterly report on Form 10-Q, we may be
subject to claims arising in the normal course of business. An unfavorable outcome on any
litigation matter could require that we pay substantial damages, or, in connection with any
intellectual property infringement claims, could require that we pay ongoing royalty payments or
could prevent us from selling certain of our products. In addition, we may decide to settle any
litigation, which could cause us to incur significant costs. A settlement or an unfavorable outcome
on any litigation matter could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results,
financial position or cash flows.
We are subject to import and export controls that could subject us to liability or impair our
ability to compete in international markets.
Our products are subject to U.S. export controls and may be exported outside the United States only
with the required level of export license or through an export license exception, in most cases
because we incorporate encryption technology into our products. In addition, various countries
regulate the import of certain technology and have enacted laws that could limit our ability to
distribute our products or could limit our customers ability to implement our products in those
countries. Changes in our products or changes in export and import regulations may create delays in
the introduction of our products in international markets, prevent our customers with international
operations from deploying our products throughout their global systems or, in some cases, prevent
the export or import of our products to certain countries altogether. Any change in export or
import regulations or related legislation, shift in approach to the enforcement or scope of
existing regulations, or change in the countries, persons or technologies targeted by such
regulations, could result in decreased use of our products by, or in our decreased ability to
export or sell our products to, existing or potential customers internationally.
In addition, we may be subject to customs duties and export quotas, which could have a significant
impact on our revenue and profitability. While we have not encountered significant difficulties in
connection with the sales of our products in international markets, the future imposition of
significant increases in the level of customs duties or export quotas could have a material adverse
effect on our business.
The leases on the buildings at our main campus in Sunnyvale, California expire in September 2010,
and we may incur costs and experience delays in connection with moving to new facilities.
Our corporate headquarters and most of our U.S. operations are housed in two leased buildings in
Sunnyvale. These leases expire in September 2010. Consequently, we recently entered into a lease to
occupy a building close to our existing facilities. We are currently
moving to the
new facility prior to the expiration of our current lease. The new facility requires substantial
improvements and outfitting in order to be suitable for our occupancy. If construction is delayed,
or if occupancy permits are not granted in time, we may not be able to move prior to the expiration
of our current lease. If for any reason we are required to extend our current lease on a short-term
basis, we could incur additional rent expenses and other costs. Additionally, we expect to incur
moving costs and may also experience significant potential disruption to our business activities at
the time of moving to a new facility.
The ongoing threat of terrorism has created great uncertainty and may continue to harm our
business.
Current conditions in the U.S. and global economies are uncertain. The terrorist attacks in the
U.S. in 2001 and subsequent terrorist attacks in other parts of the world have created many
economic and political uncertainties that have severely impacted the global economy, and have
adversely affected our business. For example, following the 2001 terrorist attacks in the U.S., we
experienced a further decline in demand for our products. The long-term effects of the attacks, the
situation in the Middle East and the ongoing war on terrorism on our business and on the global
economy remain unknown. Moreover, the potential for future terrorist attacks has created additional
uncertainty and makes it difficult to estimate the stability and strength of the U.S. and other
economies and the impact of economic conditions on our business.
The markets in which we, our customers and our suppliers operate are subject to the risk of
earthquakes and other natural disasters.
49
Table of Contents
Our headquarters and the majority of our operations are located in California, which is prone to
earthquakes, and some of the other locations in which we, our customers and suppliers conduct
business are prone to natural disasters. In the event that any of our business centers are affected
by any such disasters, we may sustain damage to our operations and properties and suffer
significant financial losses. Furthermore, we rely on third-party manufacturers for the production
of many of our products, and any disruption in the business or operations of such manufacturers
could adversely impact our business. In addition, if there is a major earthquake or other natural
disaster in any of the locations in which our significant customers are located, we face the risk
that our customers may incur losses, or sustained business interruption and/or loss which may
materially impair their ability to continue their purchase of products from us. A major earthquake
or other natural disaster in the markets in which we, our customers or suppliers operate could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash
flows.
Some anti-takeover provisions contained in our certificate of incorporation, bylaws and stockholder
rights plan, as well as provisions of Delaware law, could impair a takeover attempt.
We have provisions in our certificate of incorporation and bylaws, each of which could have the
effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging an acquisition deemed undesirable by our Board
of Directors. These include provisions:
| authorizing blank check preferred stock, which could be issued with voting, liquidation, dividend and other rights superior to our common stock; | ||
| limiting the liability of, and providing indemnification to, our directors and officers; | ||
| limiting the ability of our stockholders to call and bring business before special meetings; | ||
| requiring advance notice of stockholder proposals for business to be conducted at meetings of our stockholders and for nominations of candidates for election to our Board of Directors; | ||
| controlling the procedures for conduct and scheduling of Board and stockholder meetings; and | ||
| providing the Board of Directors with the express power to postpone previously scheduled annual meetings and to cancel previously scheduled special meetings. |
These provisions, alone or together, could delay hostile takeovers and changes in control or
management of us.
In addition, we have adopted a stockholder rights plan. The rights are not intended to prevent a
takeover of us, and we believe these rights will help our negotiations with any potential
acquirers. However, if the Board of Directors believes that a particular acquisition is
undesirable, the rights may have the effect of rendering more difficult or discouraging that
acquisition. The rights would cause substantial dilution to a person or group that attempts to
acquire us on terms or in a manner not approved by our Board of Directors, except pursuant to an
offer conditioned upon redemption of the rights.
As a Delaware corporation, we are also subject to provisions of Delaware law, including Section 203
of the Delaware General Corporation law, which prevents some stockholders holding more than 15% of
our outstanding common stock from engaging in certain business combinations without approval of the
holders of substantially all of our outstanding common stock.
Any provision of our certificate of incorporation or bylaws, our stockholder rights plan or
Delaware law that has the effect of delaying or deterring a change in control could limit the
opportunity for our stockholders to receive a premium for their shares of our common stock, and
could also affect the price that some investors are willing to pay for our common stock.
Our common stock price may be extremely volatile, and the value of your investment may decline.
Our common stock price has been highly volatile. We expect that this volatility will continue in
the future due to factors such as:
| general market and economic conditions; | ||
| actual or anticipated variations in operating results; |
50
Table of Contents
| announcements of technological innovations, new products or new services by us or by our competitors or customers; | ||
| changes in financial estimates or recommendations by stock market analysts regarding us or our competitors; | ||
| announcements by us or our competitors of significant acquisitions, strategic partnerships, joint ventures or capital commitments; | ||
| announcements by our customers regarding end market conditions and the status of existing and future infrastructure network deployments; | ||
| additions or departures of key personnel; and | ||
| future equity or debt offerings or our announcements of these offerings. |
In addition, in recent years, the stock market in general, and the NASDAQ Stock Market and the
securities of technology companies in particular, have experienced extreme price and volume
fluctuations. These fluctuations have often been unrelated or disproportionate to the operating
performance of individual companies. These broad market fluctuations have in the past and may in
the future materially and adversely affect our stock price, regardless of our operating results.
Investors may be unable to sell their shares of our common stock at or above the purchase price.
Our stock price may decline if additional shares are sold in the market.
Future sales of substantial amounts of shares of our common stock by our existing stockholders in
the public market, or the perception that these sales could occur, may cause the market price of
our common stock to decline. In addition, we may be required to issue additional shares upon
exercise of previously granted options that are currently outstanding. Increased sales of our
common stock in the market after exercise of currently outstanding options could exert significant
downward pressure on our stock price. These sales also might make it more difficult for us to sell
equity or equity-related securities in the future at a time and price we deem appropriate.
If securities analysts do not continue to publish research or reports about our business, or if
they downgrade our stock, the price of our stock could decline.
The trading market for our common stock relies in part on the availability of research and reports
that third-party industry or financial analysts publish about us. Further, if one or more of the
analysts who do cover us downgrade our stock, our stock price may decline. If one or more of these
analysts cease coverage of us, we could lose visibility in the market, which in turn could cause
the liquidity of our stock and our stock price to decline.
ITEM 2. UNREGISTERED SALES OF EQUITY SECURITIES AND USE OF PROCEEDS
On May 6, 2010, we entered into a definitive agreement to acquire Omneon, a privately-held company
headquartered in Sunnyvale, California and organized under the laws of Delaware. Under the terms of
the definitive agreement, Harmonic would acquire Omneon for (i) $190 million in cash plus the
aggregate exercise price of vested stock options of Omneon, and subject to further adjustment based
on Omneons cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash position and working capital position at the
time of closing, and (ii) 17.1 million shares of Harmonic common stock. All unvested stock options
and unvested restricted stock units issued by Omneon and outstanding at closing will be assumed by
Harmonic. The proposed acquisition is subject to customary closing conditions and regulatory
approvals, and is expected to close in the second half of 2010.
The definitive agreement contemplates that Harmonic will submit to the California Commissioner of
Corporations an application for a permit pursuant to Sections 25121 and 25142 of the California
Corporate Securities Law of 1968, so that, if approved, the issuance of Harmonic common stock as
part of the merger consideration would be exempt from registration under federal securities laws by
virtue of the exemption provided by Section 3(a)(10) of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
