NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)


1.	SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES

Unaudited Interim Financial Information—The accompanying unaudited, condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared according to the rules and regulations of the United States (the “U.S.”) Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, which include normal recurring adjustments, necessary for a fair statement of the condensed consolidated balance sheets, condensed consolidated statements of operations, condensed consolidated statement of comprehensive loss and condensed consolidated statements of cash flows of MACOM Technology Solutions Holdings, Inc. (“MACOM”, the “Company”, “us”, “we” or “our”) for the periods presented. We prepare our interim financial information using the same accounting principles we use for our annual audited consolidated financial statements. Certain information and note disclosures normally included in the annual audited consolidated financial statements have been condensed or omitted in accordance with prescribed SEC rules. We believe that the disclosures made in our condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes are adequate to make the information presented not misleading.

The consolidated balance sheet at October 2, 2015 is as reported in our audited consolidated financial statements as of that date. Our accounting policies are described in the notes to our October 2, 2015 consolidated financial statements, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended October 2, 2015 filed with the SEC on November 24, 2015. We recommend that the financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and notes included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for our fiscal year ended October 2, 2015.

Principles of Consolidation—We have one reportable segment, semiconductors and modules. The accompanying consolidated financial statements include our accounts and the accounts of our majority-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation. Certain prior period financial statement amounts, including Automotive business discontinued operations, have been adjusted to conform to current reported presentation.

We have a 52 or 53-week fiscal year ending on the Friday closest to the last day of September. The fiscal years 2016 and 2015 include 52 weeks. To offset the effect of holidays, for fiscal years in which there are 53 weeks, we include the extra week arising in our fiscal years in the first quarter.

Use of Estimates—The preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities during the reporting periods, the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the reporting periods, and the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements. On an ongoing basis, we base estimates and assumptions on historical experience, currently available information, and various other factors that management believes to be reasonable under the circumstances. Actual results may differ materially from these estimates and assumptions.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements—Our Recent Accounting Pronouncements are described in the notes to our October 2, 2015 consolidated financial statements, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

In November 2015, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2015-17, Balance Sheet Classification of Deferred Taxes. This update simplifies the presentation of deferred income taxes by eliminating the current requirements to classify deferred income tax assets and liabilities between current and noncurrent. The amendments in this update require that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. For public business entities, the standard is effective in the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. We have elected to adopt this standard early and have implemented the change prospectively as of the second quarter of fiscal 2016; prior periods were not adjusted. Upon adoption in the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we included $31.4 million of current deferred income tax assets with our noncurrent deferred income tax assets; no adjustments were made to deferred tax liabilities.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required, as well as a retrospective recognition and measurement of impacted leases. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We are evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09, Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting, which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities,

including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. Early adoption is permitted and the updated standard must be adopted no later than our fiscal first quarter of fiscal 2018. We are evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

2. ACQUISITIONS

Acquisition of FiBest Limited—On December 9, 2015, we completed the acquisition of FiBest Limited (“FiBest”) a Japan-based merchant market component supplier of optical sub-assemblies ("FiBest Acquisition"). We acquired FiBest to expand our position in optical networking components. In connection with the FiBest Acquisition, all of the outstanding equity interests (including outstanding options) of FiBest were exchanged for aggregate consideration of $59.1 million including cash of $47.5 million and assumed debt of $11.6 million. We funded the FiBest Acquisition with cash on hand. For the nine months ended July 1, 2016, we recorded transaction costs of $2.7 million as selling, general and administrative expense related to this acquisition. There were no transaction costs were recorded in the three months ended July 1, 2016. The FiBest Acquisition was accounted for as a stock purchase and the operations of FiBest have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

We recognized the FiBest assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the fair value of such assets and liabilities measured as of the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price for FiBest is being allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and has been allocated to goodwill, none of which will be tax deductible.

During the quarter ended July 1, 2016, we recorded an adjustment of $1.1 million primarily related to an adjustment of the deferred tax liability associated with the acquisition of FiBest. The purchase accounting is preliminary and subject to completion of certain areas such as the valuation of acquired inventory, and therefore the purchase price allocation remains preliminary. The adjustments arising from the completion of the outstanding matters may materially affect the preliminary purchase accounting. We expect to finalize our allocation of purchase price during calendar year 2016. The adjusted preliminary allocation of purchase price as of July 1, 2016, is as follows (in thousands):



	Preliminary Allocation			Allocation Adjustments			Adjusted Allocation

Current assets	$	10,850	$	—			10,850
Intangible assets	45,650			—			45,650
Other assets	3,334			—			3,334
Total assets acquired	59,834			—			59,834
Liabilities assumed:
Debt	11,627			—			11,627
Deferred income taxes	12,932			(1,131	)		11,801
Other liabilities	3,968			—			3,968
Total liabilities assumed	28,527			(1,131	)		27,396
Net assets acquired	31,307			1,131			32,438
Consideration:
Cash paid upon closing, net of cash acquired	47,517			—			47,517
Goodwill	$	16,210	$	(1,131	)	$	15,079

The components of the acquired intangible assets on a preliminary basis were as follows (in thousands):

The overall weighted-average life of the identified intangible assets acquired in the FiBest Acquisition is estimated to be 9.4 years and the assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives based upon the pattern over which we expect to receive the economic benefit from these assets.

The following is a summary of FiBest revenue and earnings included in MACOM's accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations for the three and nine months ended months ended July 1, 2016 (in thousands):



		Three Months Ended			Nine Months Ended
Revenue	$	10,191		$	21,296
Loss before income taxes		(1,150	)		(3,717	)

Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Data—The pro forma statements of operations data for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015, below, give effect to the FiBest Acquisition, described above, as if it had occurred at October 4, 2014. These amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of FiBest to reflect; transaction costs, retention compensation expense, the impact of the step-up to the value of acquired inventory, as well as the additional intangible amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments had been applied and incurred since October 4, 2014. This pro forma data is presented for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of our future results of operations.

Net income (loss)		24,276		5,440		(2,509	)		(14,724	)

Acquisition of Aeroflex/Metelics Inc.—On December 14, 2015, we acquired Aeroflex/Metelics, Inc. ("Metelics”), a diode supplier for aggregate cash consideration of $38.0 million, subject to customary working capital and other adjustments ("Metelics Acquisition"). We acquired Metelics to expand our diode business. We funded the acquisition with cash on hand. The Metelics Acquisition was accounted for as a stock purchase and the operations of Metelics have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition. For the nine months ended July 1, 2016, we recorded transaction costs of $0.5 million as selling, general and administrative expenses related to this acquisition. For the three months ended July 1, 2016, no material transaction costs were recorded.

We recognized the Metelics assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the fair value of such assets and liabilities measured as of the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price for Metelics is being allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and has been allocated to goodwill, which will be tax deductible due to a 338(h)(10) election.

During the quarter ended April 1, 2016, we recorded an adjustment of $1.8 million primarily associated with inventory which reduced current assets acquired. The purchase accounting is preliminary and subject to completion including certain fair value measurements, particularly the finalization of the valuation of acquired inventory and fixed assets, as well as, the finalization of the working capital adjustment with the seller. The adjustments arising from the completion of the outstanding matters may materially affect the preliminary purchase accounting.We expect to finalize our allocation of purchase price during calendar year 2016. The adjusted preliminary allocation of purchase price as of July 1, 2016, is as follows (in thousands):



		Preliminary Allocation		Allocation Adjustments			Adjusted Allocation

Current assets	$	15,250	$	(1,835	)	$	13,415

Consideration:

Goodwill	$	4,202	$	1,835		$	6,037

The components of the acquired intangible assets on a preliminary basis were as follows (in thousands):

The overall weighted-average life of the identified intangible assets acquired in the Metelics Acquisition is estimated to be 9.8 years and the assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives based upon the pattern over which we expect to receive the economic benefit from these assets.

Acquisition of BinOptics Corporation—On December 15, 2014, we completed the acquisition of BinOptics Corporation (“BinOptics”) a supplier of high-performance photonic semiconductor products ("BinOptics Acquisition"). In accordance with the related agreement and plan of merger, all of the outstanding equity interests (including outstanding warrants) of BinOptics were exchanged for aggregate consideration of approximately $208.4 million in cash. In addition we paid $14.6 million as part of a related retention escrow agreement designed to retain certain BinOptics employees. This $14.6 million was included in the terms of the purchase agreement and has been accounted for as a post-closing prepaid expense. We funded the BinOptics Acquisition with a combination of cash on hand and the incurrence of $100.0 million of additional borrowings under our existing Revolving Facility. For the nine months ended July 3, 2015, we recorded transaction costs of $4.1 million related to the BinOptics Acquisition.

The BinOptics Acquisition was accounted for as a stock purchase and the operations of BinOptics have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

We have recognized BinOptics' assets acquired and liabilities assumed based upon the fair value of such assets and liabilities measured as of the date of acquisition. The aggregate purchase price for BinOptics has been allocated to the tangible and identifiable intangible assets acquired and liabilities assumed based on their estimated fair values at the date of acquisition. The excess of the purchase price over the fair value of the acquired net assets represents cost and revenue synergies specific to the Company, as well as non-capitalizable intangible assets, such as the employee workforce acquired, and has been allocated to goodwill, none of which is tax deductible.

We finalized our allocation of purchase price during the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. The final allocation of purchase price as of January 1, 2016, is as follows (in thousands):



	October 2, 2015 Allocation		Allocation Adjustments			January 1, 2016 Adjusted Allocation

	Amount		Useful Lives (Years)
Developed technology	$	17,500	7
Customer relationships	119,800		10
	$	137,300

The overall weighted-average life of the identified intangible assets acquired in the BinOptics Acquisition is estimated to be 9.6 years and the assets are being amortized over their estimated useful lives based upon the pattern over which we expect to receive the economic benefit from these assets.

Unaudited Supplemental Pro Forma Data—The pro forma statements of operations data for the three and nine months ended July 3, 2015, below, give effect to the BinOptics Acquisition, described above, as if it had occurred at September 28, 2013. These amounts have been calculated after applying our accounting policies and adjusting the results of BinOptics to reflect the transaction costs, retention compensation expense, the impact of the step-up to the value of the acquired inventory, as well as additional intangible amortization that would have been charged assuming the fair value adjustments to intangible assets had been applied and incurred since September 28, 2013. This pro forma data is presented as of July 3, 2015 for informational purposes only and does not purport to be indicative of our future results of operations.

3. DISCONTINUED OPERATIONS

In August 2015, we sold our Automotive business to Autoliv ASP Inc. ("Autoliv") as the Automotive business was not consistent with our long-term strategic vision from both a growth and profitability perspective. The agreed consideration included $82.1 million in cash paid at closing and $18.0 million payable in eighteen months pending resolution of any contingencies as part of an indemnification agreement, plus the opportunity to receive up to an additional $30.0 million in cash based on achievement of revenue-based earnout targets through 2019. Additionally, we entered into a Consulting Agreement pursuant to which we may provide Autoliv with certain non-design advisory services for a period of two years following the closing of the transaction for up to $15.0 million in cash.

During fiscal year 2015, we recorded a pre-tax gain on the sale of the Automotive business of $61.8 million based on the $82.1 million received at closing on August 17, 2015 as described above. The remainder of the consideration to be received from Autoliv, if any, including any amounts related to the consulting agreement, will be accounted for in discontinued operations when the contingencies are finalized and the proceeds, if any, become realizable over the next several years.

The accompanying consolidated statement of operations includes the following operating results related to this divested business (in thousands):

5. FAIR VALUE

We group our financial assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis in three levels, based on the markets in which the assets and liabilities are traded and the reliability of the assumptions used to determine fair value. These levels are:

Level 1 - Quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.

Level 2 - Observable inputs other than Level 1 prices, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices in markets with insufficient volume or infrequent transactions (less active markets), or model-driven valuations in which all significant inputs are observable or can be derived principally from, or corroborated with, observable market data.

Level 3 - Fair value is derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs are unobservable, including assumptions and judgments made by us.

Assets and Liabilities Measured and Recorded at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We measure certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis such as our financial instruments and derivatives. There have been no transfers between Level 1, 2 or 3 assets or liabilities during the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016.

Money market funds are actively traded and consist of highly liquid investments with original maturities of 90 days or less. They are measured at their net asset value ("NAV") and classified as Level 1. Corporate and agency bonds are categorized as Level 2 assets except where sufficient quoted prices exist in active markets, in which case such securities are categorized as Level 1 assets. These securities are valued using third-party pricing services. These services may use, for example, model-based pricing methods that utilize observable market data as inputs. Broker dealer bids or quotes on securities with similar characteristics may also be used.

The fair values of the contingent consideration liabilities were estimated based upon a risk-adjusted present value of the probability-weighted expected payments by us. Specifically, we considered base, upside and downside scenarios for the operating metrics upon which the contingent payments are to be based. Probabilities were assigned to each scenario and the probability-

weighted payments were discounted to present value using risk-adjusted discount rates. The maximum possible payment of contingent consideration is $1.5 million.

The fair value of the stock warrants has been estimated using a Black-Scholes option pricing model giving consideration to the quoted market price of the common stock on that date, an exercise price of $14.05, expected life of 4.5 years, expected volatility of 35.6% and risk free rate of 1.0%. Any significant change in these assumptions could have a material impact on the fair value of the stock warrants.

These estimates include significant judgments and actual results could materially differ and have a material impact upon the values of the recorded liabilities. Any changes in the estimated fair values of the liabilities in the future will be reflected in our earnings and such changes could be material.

Assets and liabilities measured at fair value on a recurring basis consist of the following (in thousands):

8. DEBT

On May 8, 2014 we entered into a credit agreement ("Credit Agreement") with a syndicate of lenders. Our Credit Agreement provides for term loans in an aggregate principal amount of $350.0 million, which mature in May 2021 ("Term Loans") and a revolving credit facility of $130.0 million, which matures in May 2019 ("Revolving Facility"). The effective interest rate on our Term Loans was 4.5% as of July 1, 2016. We also pay a quarterly unused line fee for the Revolving Facility in the range of 0.25% to 0.375% (based on our total net leverage ratio being within certain defined ranges) as well as overall agency fees. As of July 1, 2016, we had no borrowings under the Revolving Facility. We incurred $8.7 million in fees for the issuance of the Credit Agreement which were recorded as deferred financing costs and are being amortized over the life of Credit Agreement as interest expense. As of July 1, 2016, approximately $6.0 million of deferred financing costs remain unamortized. The Credit Agreement contains covenants that require among other items maintenance of certain financial ratios. As of July 1, 2016, we were in compliance with all financial covenants related to our debt obligations under the Credit Agreement.

As of July 1, 2016, the following remained outstanding on the Term Loans (in thousands):



Principal balance	$	343,000
Unamortized discount	(1,813		)
Total Term Loans	341,187

2018	3,500
2019	3,500
2020	3,500
Thereafter	328,125
Total	$	343,000

The fair value of the Term Loans was estimated to be approximately $342.6 million as of July 1, 2016 and was determined using Level 3 inputs, including a quoted rate from a bank.

As of July 1, 2016, our estimated amortization of our intangible assets in future fiscal years, subject to the completion of the purchase price allocation for the FiBest and Metelics acquisitions, was as follows (in thousands):



	2016 Remaining		2017	2018	2019	2020	Thereafter	Total
Amortization expense	$	12,802	51,341	48,420	41,786	33,716	71,391	$	259,456

Our trade name is an indefinite-lived intangible assets. During development, in-process research and development ("IPR&D") is not subject to amortization and is tested for impairment annually or more frequently if events or changes in circumstances indicate that the asset might be impaired. The impairment test consists of a comparison of the fair value to its carrying amount. If the carrying value exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess. Once an IPR&D project is complete, it becomes a definite long-lived intangible asset and is evaluated for impairment in accordance with our policy for long-lived assets.

Accumulated amortization for acquired technology and customer relationships was $70.7 million and $41.4 million, respectively, as of July 1, 2016, and $45.6 million and $16.7 million, respectively, as of July 3, 2015.

During the second quarter of fiscal year 2016, we made a strategic decision to exit the product line and end programs associated with our GaN-on Silicon Carbide license and technology transfer to focus on development of our GaN-on-Silicon efforts. As a result of this strategic decision, we determined that the intangible assets and contractual commitments under the long term technology licensing and transfer agreement signed in July 2013, as well as certain dedicated fixed assets and inventory, would no longer have any future benefit. The associated charges incurred during the nine months ended July 1, 2016 were $13.8 million which included a write-off of $10.1 million of intangible assets, $0.6 million of fixed assets, $1.0 million of contractual commitments and $2.0 million of inventory.

10. STOCKHOLDERS' EQUITY

We have authorized 10 million shares of $0.001 par value preferred stock and 300 million shares of $0.001 par value common stock as of July 1, 2016 and October 2, 2015. The outstanding shares of our common stock as of July 1, 2016 and October 2, 2015, presented in the accompanying consolidated statements of stockholders’ equity exclude 5,000 and 11,000 unvested shares of restricted stock awards, respectively, issued as compensation to employees that remained subject to forfeiture.

Common Stock Warrants—In March 2012, we issued warrants to purchase 1,281,358 shares of common stock for $14.05 per share. The warrants expire December 21, 2020, or earlier as per the terms of the agreement, including immediately following consummation of a sale of all or substantially all assets or capital stock or other equity securities, including by merger, consolidation, recapitalization, or similar transactions. We do not currently have sufficient registered and available shares to immediately satisfy a request for registration, if such a request were made. As of July 1, 2016, no exercise of the warrants had occurred and no request had been made to register the warrants or any underlying securities for resale by the holders.

We are recording the estimated fair values of the warrants as a long-term liability in the accompanying consolidated financial statements with changes in the estimated fair value being recorded in the accompanying statements of operations. The following is a summary of the activity of the warrant liability (in thousands):



Balance at October 2, 2015	$	21,822

12. COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Litigation—From time to time we may be subject to commercial disputes, employment issues, claims by other companies in the industry that we have infringed their intellectual property rights and other similar claims and litigations. Any such claims may lead to future litigation and material damages and defense costs. Other than as set forth below, we were not involved in any material pending legal proceedings during the quarter ended July 1, 2016.

GaN Lawsuit Against Infineon. On April 26, 2016, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary Nitronex, LLC brought suit against International Rectifier Corporation (“International Rectifier”), Infineon Technologies Americas Corporation, and Infineon Technologies AG (collectively, “Infineon”) in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California, seeking injunctive relief, monetary damages, and specific performance of certain contractual obligations. The suit arises out of agreements relating to GaN patents that were executed several years ago by Nitronex Corporation (acquired by MACOM in 2014) and International Rectifier (acquired by Infineon in 2015). We assert claims for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, declaratory judgment of contractual rights, and declaratory judgment of non-infringement of patents. Infineon moved to dismiss MACOM’s complaint on July 5, 2016 on various procedural grounds. On July 19, 2016, we filed a first amended complaint omitting International Rectifier as a defendant (since we had been advised that formal legal entity no longer exists), making other amendments intended to moot the grounds for Infineon’s motion to dismiss, and adding a further claim of breach of contract based on some of Infineon’s GaN-on-Si product activities. If successful, the relief sought in our first amended complaint would, among other remedies, require Infineon to assign back to us certain GaN-related Nitronex patents that were previously assigned to International Rectifier and enjoin Infineon from proceeding with its marketing and sales of certain types of GaN-on-Si products.

13. RESTRUCTURINGS

We have periodically implemented restructuring actions in connection with broader plans to reduce staffing, reduce our internal manufacturing footprint and, generally, reduce operating costs. The restructuring expenses are primarily comprised of direct and incremental costs related to headcount reductions including severance and outplacement fees for the terminated employees, as well as facility close costs.

The following is a summary of the costs incurred and remaining balances included in accrued expenses for the nine months ended July 1, 2016 (in thousands):



Balance as of October 2, 2015	$	943
Current period adjustments	2,100
Payments	(1,158		)
Balance as of July 1, 2016	$	1,885

The restructuring expenses recorded to date are expected to be paid through the remainder of fiscal year 2016. Our restructuring charges incurred to date are primarily employee related with non-employee related charges determined to be immaterial. We expect to incur additional restructuring costs in the range of approximately $3.0 million to $5.0 million during the remainder of calendar year 2016 as we complete restructuring actions primarily associated with the Metelics Acquisition.

14. SHARE-BASED COMPENSATION

Stock Plans

As of July 1, 2016, we had 7.9 million shares available for future issuance under our 2012 Omnibus Incentive Plan (as Amended and Restated) (the "2012 Plan"). Under the 2012 Plan, we have the ability to issue incentive stock options, non-statutory stock options, performance-based non-statutory stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock (RSAs), restricted stock units ("RSUs"), performance-based stock units, performance shares, and other equity-based awards to employees, directors and outside consultants. Options granted to date primarily vest over a four-year period with 25% vesting at the end of one year and the remaining vesting monthly thereafter, and generally have a term of up to 10 years. Certain of the share-based awards granted and outstanding as of July 1, 2016 are subject to accelerated vesting upon a changes in control. The financial impact of any modifications to share-based awards during the periods presented was not material. As of July 1, 2016, total unrecognized compensation cost related to the employee stock purchase plan was not material.

Share-Based Compensation

The following table shows a summary of share-based compensation expense included in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015 (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	July 1, 2016		July 3, 2015		July 1, 2016		July 3, 2015
Cost of revenue	$	652	$	477	$	1,602	$	1,372
Research and development	1,903		1,272		5,411		3,399
Selling, general and administrative	3,626		2,904		12,394		9,010
Total stock-based compensation expense	$	6,181	$	4,653	$	19,407	$	13,781

As of July 1, 2016, the total unrecognized compensation costs related to outstanding stock options and RSUs expected to vest was $50.6 million, which we expect to recognize over a weighted-average period of 2.7 years.

Stock Options

We had 1.1 million stock options outstanding as of July 1, 2016, with a weighted-average exercise price per share of $22.94 and weighted-average remaining contractual term of 6.0 years. The aggregate intrinsic value of the stock options outstanding as of July 1, 2016 was $10.7 million which represents our closing stock price value on the last trading day of the period in excess of the weighted-average exercise price multiplied by the number of options outstanding.

During the three months ended July 1, 2016, we granted 5,000 performance options which will vest subject to certain revenue and gross margin targets being achieved. These performance stock options were valued at $10.54 per share at the date of grant using the Black-Scholes option pricing model. Also, during the nine months ended July 1, 2016, we granted 300,000 performance-based non-qualified stock options with a grant date fair value of $3.5 million that are subject to vesting only upon the market price of the Company’s underlying public stock closing above a certain price target within seven years of the date of grant. These performance options with market conditions are valued using a Monte Carlo simulation model. Compensation cost is recognized regardless of the number of awards that are earned based on the market condition. Compensation cost is recognized on a straight-line basis over the estimated service period of approximately three years. In the event that the Company’s common stock achieves the target price of $64.22 per share based on a 30 day trailing average prior to the end of the estimated service period, any remaining unamortized compensation cost will be recognized.

The total intrinsic value of options at the time of exercise was $0.4 million and $3.0 million for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016 and was $2.6 million and $3.6 million for the three and nine months ended July 3, 2015.

Restricted Stock, Restricted Stock Units and Performance-Based Restricted Stock Units

A summary of restricted stock, restricted stock unit and performance-based restricted stock unit activity for the nine months ended July 1, 2016, is as follows (in thousands):



	Number of Shares		Weighted- Average Grate Date Fair Value		Aggregate Intrinsic Value
Balance at October 2, 2015	1,692		$	25.30	$	48,375
Granted	766		$	39.98
Vested and released	(748	)	$	23.90
Forfeited, canceled or expired	(49	)	$	30.04
Balance at July 1, 2016	1,661		$	32.56	$	53,800

Restricted stock, restricted stock units and performance-based restricted stock units that vested during the nine months ended July 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015 had fair value of $26.4 million and $21.4 million as of the vesting date, respectively.

15. INCOME TAXES

We are subject to income tax in the United States as well as other tax jurisdictions in which we conduct business. Earnings from non-U.S. activities are subject to local country income tax and may also be subject to current U.S. income tax. For interim periods, we record a tax provision or benefit based upon the estimated effective tax rate expected for the full fiscal year, adjusted for material discrete taxation matters arising during the interim periods.

The difference between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% and our effective income tax rates for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015, was primarily impacted in all periods by changes in fair values of the common stock warrant liability which is neither deductible nor taxable for tax purposes, income taxed in foreign jurisdictions at generally lower tax rates, non-deductible compensation, research and development tax credits and non-deductible merger expenses, offset by U.S. state income taxes.

The balance of the unrecognized tax benefit as of July 1, 2016 and October 2, 2015 did not change and remained at $1.7 million. The unrecognized tax benefits primarily relate to positions taken by us in our 2014 US tax filings. The entire balance of unrecognized tax benefits, if recognized, will reduce income tax expense. It is our policy to recognize any interest and penalties accrued related to unrecognized tax benefits in income tax expense. During the quarter ending July 1, 2016, we did not make any payment of interest and penalties.

As disclosed in Note 2 - Acquisitions, our purchase accounting for the FiBest Acquisition, including income taxes, is preliminary and subject to revision upon obtaining and analyzing additional information. Related to the FiBest Acquisition, we recorded, on a preliminary basis, an aggregate net deferred income tax liability acquired in the FiBest Acquisition which is estimated to be $11.8 million which includes the net deferred income tax asset of $2.5 million relating to net operating loss ("NOL") carryforwards and a net deferred income tax liability of $14.3 million related to the difference between the book and tax basis of the intangible and other assets acquired. Related to the Metelics Acquisition we do not anticipate the recording of any deferred taxes due to a Section 338(h) (10) election which will permit us to have tax basis equal to the purchase price.

16. RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS

GaAs Labs, LLC ("GaAs Labs"), a former stockholder and an affiliate of directors John and Susan Ocampo, continues to engage us to provide administrative and business development services to GaAs Labs on a time and materials basis. There are no minimum service requirements or payment obligations and the agreement may be terminated by either party with 30 days notice.

In the nine months ended July 1, 2016, we recorded charges to GaAs Labs of less than $0.1 million for services provided pursuant to this agreement and have recorded these amounts as other income in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of operations. All amounts were recorded in the first quarter of fiscal year 2016. In the nine months ended July 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015 we recorded revenue of $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, associated with product sales to a public company with a common director.

17. SUPPLEMENTAL CASH FLOW INFORMATION

As of July 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015, we had $0.9 million and $0.8 million in unpaid amounts related to purchases of property and equipment and intangibles included in accounts payable and accrued liabilities during each period, respectively. These amounts have been excluded from the payments for purchases of property and equipment in the accompanying condensed consolidated statements of cash flows until paid.

The following is supplemental cash flow information regarding non-cash investing and financing activities (in thousands):

Cash paid for interest	$	12,285	$	11,521
Cash paid for income taxes	$	1,080	$	890

18. GEOGRAPHIC AND SIGNIFICANT CUSTOMER INFORMATION

We have one reportable operating segment that designs, develops, manufactures and markets semiconductors and modules. The determination of the number of reportable operating segments is based on the chief operating decision maker’s use of financial information for the purposes of assessing performance and making operating decisions. In evaluating financial performance and making operating decisions, the chief operating decision maker primarily uses consolidated revenue, gross profit and operating income (loss).

Overview

We are a leading provider of high-performance analog semiconductor solutions that enable next-generation Internet applications, the cloud connected apps economy, and the modern, networked battlefield across the radio frequency (RF), microwave, millimeterwave and photonic spectrum. We design and manufacture differentiated, high-value products for customers who demand high performance, quality, and reliability. We offer a broad portfolio of over 3,500 standard and custom devices, which include integrated circuits (IC), multi-chip modules, power pallets and transistors, diodes, amplifiers, switches and switch limiters, passive and active components and complete subsystems, across approximately 40 product lines serving over 6,000 end customers in three primary markets. Our semiconductor products are electronic components that our customers incorporate into their larger electronic systems, such as, point-to-point wireless backhaul radios, high density networks, active antenna arrays, radar, magnetic resonance imaging systems (MRI) and unmanned aerial vehicles (UAVs). Our primary markets are: Networks, which includes carrier and enterprise infrastructure, wired broadband and cellular backhaul, cellular infrastructure, photonic solutions and fiber optic applications; Aerospace and Defense (A&D), which includes military and commercial radar, RF jammers, electronic countermeasures, and communication data links; and Multi-market, which includes industrial, medical, test and measurement and scientific applications.

On December 9, 2015, we completed the acquisition of FiBest Limited (“FiBest”), a Japan-based merchant market component supplier of optical sub-assemblies ("FiBest Acquisition"). In connection with the FiBest Acquisition, all of the outstanding equity interests (including outstanding options) of FiBest were exchanged for aggregate consideration of $59.1 million including cash of $47.5 million and assumed debt of $11.6 million. We funded the FiBest Acquisition with cash on hand. The FiBest Acquisition was accounted for as a stock purchase and the operations of FiBest have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

On December 14, 2015, we acquired Aeroflex/Metelics, Inc. ("Metelics”), a diode supplier for aggregate cash consideration of $38.0 million ("Metelics Acquisition"). We funded the acquisition with cash on hand. The Metelics Acquisition was accounted

for as a stock purchase and the operations of Metelics have been included in our consolidated financial statements since the date of acquisition.

In August 2015, we divested our Automotive business which we had determined was no longer consistent with our long-term strategic vision from either a growth or profitability perspective. We expect that in future periods the performance of our remaining and more recently acquired businesses will generate consolidated earnings and cash flows consistent with our pre-divestment results for our businesses as a whole.

Description of Our Revenue

Revenue. Substantially all of our revenue is derived from sales of high-performance analog semiconductor solutions for use in wireless and wireline applications across the RF, microwave, millimeterwave and photonic spectrum and in high-speed communications. We design, integrate, manufacture and package differentiated product solutions that we sell to customers through our direct sales organization, our network of independent sales representatives and our distributors.

We believe the primary drivers of our future revenue growth will include:


•	engaging early with our lead customers to develop products and solutions that can be driven across multiple growth markets;


•	leveraging our core strength and leadership position in standard, catalog products that can service multiple end market applications;


•	increasing content of our semiconductor solutions in our customers’ systems through cross-selling of our more than 40 product lines;


•	introducing new products through internal development and acquisitions with market reception that command higher prices based on the application of advanced technologies such as GaN, added features, higher levels of integration and improved performance; and


•	growth in the market for high-performance analog semiconductors generally, and in our three primary markets in particular.

Our core strategy is to develop innovative, high-performance products that address our customers’ most difficult technical challenges in our primary markets: Networks, A&D and Multi-market. While sales in any or all of our primary markets may slow or decline from period to period, over the long-term we generally expect to benefit from strength in these markets.

We expect our revenue in the Networks market to be primarily driven by continued upgrades and expansion of communications equipment to support expansion in the Internet of Things (IoT), the proliferation of mobile computing devices such as smartphones and tablets, increasing adoption of bandwidth rich services such as video on demand and cloud computing, the rapid adoption of cloud-based services, and the migration to an application centric architecture, which we expect will drive faster adoption of higher speed, low latency optical and wireless links.

We expect our revenue in the A&D market to be driven by the upgrading of radar systems and modern battlefield communications equipment and networks designed to improve situational awareness. Growth in this market is subject to changes in governmental programs and budget funding, which is difficult to predict.

We expect revenue in Multi-market to be driven by diverse demand for our multi-purpose catalog products.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations are based on our consolidated financial statements. The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the U.S. (GAAP), requires management to make estimates and judgments 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. By their nature, these estimates and judgments are subject to an inherent degree of uncertainty and actual results could differ materially from our estimates and judgments. On an ongoing basis, we re-evaluate our estimates and judgments.

We base our estimates and judgments on our historical experience and on other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making the judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities that are not readily apparent from other sources. The accounting policies which our management believes involve the most significant application of judgment, or involve complex estimation, are inventories and associated reserves; goodwill and intangibles asset valuations and associated impairment assessments; revenue reserves; contingent consideration valuations, share-based compensation valuations and income taxes and deferred income tax accounting.

For additional information related to these and other accounting policies refer to Note 2 - Summary of Significant Accounting Policies to our Consolidated Financial Statements included in Item 8 of Part II, “Financial Statements and Supplementary Data,” of our 2015 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2015.

Comparison of the Three and Nine Months Ended July 1, 2016 to the Three and Nine Months Ended July 3, 2015

We acquired FiBest and Metelics during December 2015. These acquisitions had annualized revenue of approximately $24.0 million and $37.0 million, respectively. We acquired BinOptics ("BinOptics Acquisition") in December 2014, which had annualized revenue of approximately $45.0 million. Our quarterly Statements of Operations includes activity since the dates of acquisition, representing less than seven months of activity for FiBest and Metelics for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016 and BinOptics for the three and nine months ended July 3, 2015.

Revenue. Our revenue increased $33.2 million, or 30.5%, to $142.3 million for the three months ended July 1, 2016, from $109.1 million for the three months ended July 3, 2015 and our revenue increased $83.6 million, or 27.1%, to $391.6 million for the nine months ended July 1, 2016, from $308.0 million for the nine months ended July 3, 2015, respectively. The increase in revenue in the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016 is further described by end market in the following paragraphs.

For the nine months ended July 3, 2015, the table above includes $17.5 million recognized in connection with a change in estimate related to distribution revenue recognition. These amounts were primarily recorded in the first fiscal quarter of 2015 and include $7.1 million related to Networks, $5.4 million related to A&D and $5.0 million related to Multi-market, respectively.

In the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016, our Networks market revenue increased by $30.5 million, or 41.2% and $89.3 million, or 45.9%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended July 3, 2015. The increase was primarily related to the BinOptics Acquisition and FiBest Acquisition, along with other products addressing carrier infrastructure, fiber to the home access networks and initial 100G long haul deployments, as well as, increased sales of our other products targeting optical applications and Optoelectronic sales and increasing revenues from our FiBest Acquisition. These increases were partially offset by weakness in our products targeting wired broadband and wireless backhaul as well as the distributor revenue adjustment recorded during the nine months ended July 3, 2015.

In the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016, our A&D market revenue decreased by $2.2 million, or 10.8%, and $10.2 million, or 15.7%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended July 3, 2015. The decrease was primarily due to the impact of the change in distributor revenue recognition during the first quarter of fiscal 2015, as well as lower demand for products targeting satellite communication applications during the nine months of 2016, which were partially offset by incremental revenue from the Metelics Acquisition.

In the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016, our Multi-market revenues increased by $4.9 million, or 33.3%, and $4.5 million, or 9.1%, respectively, compared to the three and nine months ended July 3, 2015. The increase was primarily due to incremental revenue from the Metelics Acquisition, partially offset by the change in distributor revenue recognition during the nine months ended July 3, 2015.

Gross profit. Gross margin was 52.0% and 51.0%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016, and 48.1% and 47.6%, respectively, for the three and nine months ended July 3, 2015. Gross profit during the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016, was positively impacted by increased sales of higher gross margin products, revenue from newly acquired businesses, as well as lower expenses associated with the step-up in fair value of inventory related to acquisitions, partially offset by higher intangible amortization expense and charges associated with the exit of one of our product lines incurred during the second fiscal quarter of 2016 as well as lower margins for certain products due to forward pricing in exchange for volume orders.

Research and development. R&D expense increased by $5.1 million, or 24.3%, to $26.1 million, or 18.3% of our revenue, for the three months ended July 1, 2016, compared with $21.0 million, or 19.2% of our revenue, for the three months ended July 3, 2015. R&D expense increased by $17.4 million, or 28.9%, to $77.6 million, or 19.8% of our revenue, for the nine months ended July 1, 2016, compared with $60.2 million, or 19.5% of our revenue, for the nine months ended July 3, 2015. R&D expense increased in the 2016 periods primarily as a result of additional costs from our acquisitions, higher stock-based and variable compensation as well as increased spending on new product development initiatives.

Selling, general and administrative. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $9.3 million, or 34.9%, to $35.9 million, or 25.2% of our revenue, for the three months ended July 1, 2016, compared with $26.6 million, or 24.4% of our revenue, for the three months ended July 3, 2015. Selling, general and administrative expense increased by $25.1 million, or 31.4%, to $105.2 million, or 26.9% of our revenue, for the nine months ended July 1, 2016, compared with $80.1 million, or 26.0% of our revenue, for the nine months ended July 3, 2015. Selling, general and administrative expenses increased in the 2016 periods primarily due to higher intangible amortization, stock-based and variable compensation as well as additional costs from acquisitions, partially offset by lower acquisition related transaction compensation expenses.

Impairment charges. Impairment charges totaled $0.8 million and $11.8 million for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016. During fiscal year 2016 we made a strategic decision to exit the product line and end programs associated with our GaN-on Silicon Carbide license and technology transfer. As a result of this strategic decision, we determined that the intangible assets

and contractual commitments under the long term technology licensing and transfer agreement signed in July 2013, as well as certain dedicated fixed assets as well as inventory with a value of $2.0 million would no longer have any future benefit. There were no impairment charges during the same periods in the prior fiscal year.

Restructuring charges. Restructuring charges totaled $1.1 million and $0.6 million for the three months ended July 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015 and $2.1 million and $1.0 million during the nine months ended July 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015, respectively. The increase in restructuring charges during the first nine months of 2016 were primarily related to the Metelics Acquisition. We expect to incur additional restructuring costs in the range of approximately $3.0 million and $5.0 million during the remainder of calendar year 2016 as we complete these restructuring actions.

Warrant liability. Our warrant liability resulted in a gain of $15.3 million and expense of $3.7 million for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016, compared to a gain of $0.5 million and expense of $15.7 million for the three and nine months ended July 3, 2015, respectively. The differences between periods were primarily driven by changes in the estimated fair value of common stock warrants we issued in December 2010, which we carry as a liability at fair value.

Provision for income taxes. The income tax benefit was $0.2 million for the three months ended July 1, 2016, compared to a benefit of $1.6 million for the three months ended July 3, 2015. The income tax benefit was $6.2 million for the nine months ended July 1, 2016, compared to a benefit of $6.1 million for the nine months ended July 3, 2015. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016 was impacted by non taxable discrete income of $15.3 million and a non-deductible discrete loss of $3.7 million, respectively, for changes in fair value of the stock warrant liability. The income tax benefit for the three and nine months ended July 1, 2016 was also impacted by a discrete write-off of $0.8 million and $11.8 million, respectively, for assets associated with the exiting of a product line.

The difference between the U.S. federal statutory income tax rate of 35% and our effective income tax rate for the nine months ended July 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015, respectively, was primarily impacted by changes in fair values of the common stock warrant liability which is not deductible nor taxable for tax purposes, income taxed in foreign jurisdictions at rates generally lower than the U.S. tax rates, non-deductible compensation, research and development tax credits and non-deductible merger expenses, partially offset by U.S. state income taxes.

As disclosed in Note 2 - Acquisitions, our purchase accounting for the FiBest Acquisition, including income taxes, is preliminary and subject to revision upon obtaining and analyzing additional information. Related to the FiBest Acquisition, we recorded, on a preliminary basis, an aggregate net deferred income tax liability acquired in the FiBest Acquisition which is estimated to be $11.8 million which includes the net deferred income tax asset of $2.5 million relating to NOL carryforwards and a net deferred income tax liability of $14.3 million related to the difference between the book and tax basis of the intangible and other assets acquired. Related to the Metelics Acquisition, we do not anticipate the recording of any deferred taxes due to a Section 338(h) (10) election which will permit us to have tax basis equal to the purchase price.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes our cash flow activities for the nine months ended July 1, 2016 and July 3, 2015, respectively (in thousands):



	Nine Months Ended
	July 1, 2016			July 3, 2015
Cash and cash equivalents, beginning of period	$	122,312		$	173,895
Net cash provided by operating activities	54,347			28,195
Net cash used in investing activities	(91,231		)	(242,073		)
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities	(18,003		)	121,071
Effect of exchange rates on cash balances	(583		)	(401		)
Cash and cash equivalents, end of period	$	66,842		$	80,687

Cash Flow from Operating Activities:

Our cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended July 1, 2016 of $54.3 million consists of a net loss of $3.7 million, plus adjustments to reconcile our net loss to cash provided by operating activities of $91.3 million less changes in operating assets and liabilities of $33.3 million. Adjustments to reconcile our net loss to cash provided by operating activities of $91.3 million primarily included depreciation and intangible amortization expense of $52.6 million, stock-based incentive compensation expense of $19.4 million, impairment related charges of $13.0 million and warrant liability expense of $3.7 million. In addition, cash used by operating assets and liabilities was $33.3 million for the nine months ended July 1, 2016 primarily driven by an increase in inventory of $25.1 million and decreases in accounts payable of $2.2 million. Inventory increases during the nine months of our fiscal year 2016 are expected to support anticipated customer demand during the remainder of fiscal 2016.

Our cash flow from operating activities for the nine months ended July 3, 2015 of $28.2 million consists of a net loss of $5.8 million plus adjustments to reconcile our net loss to cash provided by operating activities of $86.2 million less changes in operating assets and liabilities of $52.2 million. Adjustments to reconcile our net loss to cash provided by operating activities of $86.2 million primarily included depreciation and intangible amortization expense of $38.7 million, stock-based incentive compensation expense of $13.8 million and warrant liability expense of $15.7 million. In addition, cash used by operating assets and liabilities was $52.2 million for the nine months ended July 3, 2015 primarily driven by an escrow payment associated with the retention of BinOptics Acquisition employees of $14.6 million, a decrease in deferred revenue of $16.9 million, a decrease in accounts payable of $7.6 million and a decrease in accrued liabilities of $10.5 million, primarily associated with a payment for BinOptics Acquisition related professional fees.

Cash Flow from Investing Activities:

Our cash flow used by investing activities consists primarily of cash paid for the FiBest and Metelics acquisitions of $85.5 million and capital expenditures of $24.1 million, for the nine months ended July 1, 2016. The $3.8 million of cash provided from discontinued operations during the nine months ended July 1, 2016, was associated with the sale of our Automotive business which occurred in August 2015. Additionally, during the nine months ended July 1, 2016, we purchased $24.9 million of short term investments and received proceeds of $40.4 million related to the sale of short term investments which was used to fund acquisitions and operating activities.

Our cash flow used by investing activities consists primarily of cash paid for the BinOptics Acquisition of $208.4 million and capital expenditures of $32.5 million for the nine months ended July 3, 2015. For additional information related to Acquisitions, Divestitures and Investments see Notes 2, 3 and 4 to our Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

Cash Flow from Financing Activities:

During the nine months ended July 1, 2016, our cash used from financing activities of $18.0 million was primarily related to $9.6 million in payments of debt assumed in connection with our FiBest Acquisition and $10.0 million in purchases of stock associated with employee tax withholdings, partly offset by $5.3 million of proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock purchases.

Cash flow from financing activities for the nine months ended July 3, 2015 was $121.0 million and included proceeds of $100.0 million from our revolving credit facility which was subsequently used to fund our BinOptics Acquisition. In addition, we paid $7.9 million in purchases of stock associated with employee tax withholdings, partly offset by $5.3 million of proceeds from stock option exercises and employee stock purchases.

Liquidity

As of July 1, 2016, we held $66.8 million of cash and cash equivalents, primarily deposited with financial institutions. The undistributed earnings of our foreign subsidiaries are indefinitely reinvested and we do not intend to repatriate such earnings. We believe the decision to reinvest these earnings will not have a significant impact on our liquidity. As of July 1, 2016, cash held by our foreign subsidiaries was $38.3 million, which, along with cash generated from foreign operations, is expected to be used in the support of international growth and working capital requirements.

We plan to use our available cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, and potential remaining borrowing capacity under our Revolving Facility for general corporate purposes, including working capital, or for the acquisition of or investment in complementary technologies, design teams, products and businesses. We may also use a portion of our cash and cash equivalents and any amounts remaining under our Revolving Facility, which we may draw on from time to time, for the acquisition of, or investment in, complementary technologies, design teams, products and companies.We believe that our cash and cash equivalents, short term investments, cash generated from operations, and borrowing availability under the Revolving Facility will be sufficient to meet our working capital requirements for at least the next 12 months. We may need to raise additional capital from time to time through the issuance and sale of equity or debt securities, and there is no assurance that we will be able do so on favorable terms or at all.

For additional information related to our Liquidity and Debt, see Note 8 - Debt included in this Quarterly report on Form 10-Q.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Our Recent Accounting Pronouncements are described in the notes to our October 2, 2015 consolidated financial statements, which were included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K.

amendments in this update require that deferred tax assets and liabilities be classified as noncurrent in a classified statement of financial position. For public business entities, the standard is effective in the annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of any interim or annual reporting period and can be applied either prospectively or retrospectively to all periods presented. We have elected to adopt this standard early and have implemented the change prospectively as of the second quarter of fiscal 2016; prior periods were not adjusted. As of the second quarter of fiscal 2016, we included $31.4 million of current deferred income tax assets with our noncurrent deferred income tax assets; no adjustments were made to deferred tax liabilities.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases, which increases transparency and comparability among organizations by recognizing lease assets and lease liabilities on the balance sheet and disclosing key information about leasing arrangements. Certain qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required, as well as a retrospective recognition and measurement of impacted leases. The new guidance is effective for fiscal years and interim periods within those years beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. We have not yet selected a transition method and we are evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-09 which simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payment transactions for both public and nonpublic entities, including the accounting for income taxes, forfeitures and statutory tax withholding requirements, as well as classification in the statement of cash flows. Early adoption is permitted and the updated standard must be adopted no later than our fiscal first quarter of fiscal 2018. We have not yet selected a transition method and we are currently evaluating the effect that the updated standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We did not have any off-balance sheet arrangements as of July 1, 2016.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are exposed to market risk in the ordinary course of business, which consists primarily of interest rate risk associated with our cash and cash equivalents short-term investments, and our variable rate debt, as well as foreign exchange rate risk. In addition, the value of our warrant liability is based on the underlying price of our common stock and changes in its value could significantly impact our warrant liability expense.

Interest rate risk. The primary objectives of our investment activity are to preserve principal, provide liquidity, and earn a money market rate of return. To minimize market risk, we maintain our portfolio in cash and diversified short-term investments, which may consist of corporate bonds, government bonds, bank deposit and money market funds. The interest rates are variable and fluctuate with current market conditions. The risk associated with fluctuating interest rates is limited to this investment portfolio. We believe that a 10% change in interest rates would not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. We do not enter into financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.

Our exposure to interest rate risk also relates to the increase or decrease in the amount of interest expense we must pay on the outstanding debt under the Credit Agreement. The interest rates on our term loans and revolving credit facility are variable interest rates based on our lender’s prime rate or a LIBOR rate, in each case plus an applicable margin, which exposes us to market interest rate risk when we have outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. As of July 1, 2016, we had $343.0 million of outstanding borrowings under the Credit Agreement. Assuming our outstanding debt remains constant under the Credit Agreement for an entire year and the applicable annual interest rate increases or decreases by 1%, our annual interest expense would increase or decrease by $3.4 million.

Foreign currency risk. To date, our international customer agreements have been denominated primarily in U.S. dollars. Accordingly, we have limited exposure to foreign currency exchange rates. The foreign operations we acquired in the FiBest acquisition have transactions which are predominately denominated in Japanese Yen. The functional currency of a majority of our foreign operations continues to be in U.S. dollars with the remaining operations being local currency. Increases in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies could make our products more expensive, which could negatively impact demand in certain regions. Conversely, decreases in the value of the United States dollar relative to other currencies could result in our products being more expensive to certain customers and could reduce or delay orders, or otherwise negatively affect how they do business with us. The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on the net assets of the majority of our operations are accounted for as transaction gains or losses. We believe that a change of 10% in such foreign currency exchange rates would not have a material impact on our financial position or results of operations. In the future, we may enter into foreign currency exchange hedging contracts to reduce our exposure to changes in exchange rates.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), that are intended to ensure that information that would be required to be disclosed in Exchange Act reports is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms, and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the Principal Executive Officer and the Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Exchange Act Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e)) were not effective as of July 1, 2016 due to the material weakness in internal control over financial reporting described below.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

As a result of the FiBest and Metelics acquisitions, we are currently evaluating the processes and procedures of our acquired businesses' internal controls over financial reporting and incorporate such internal controls into our financial reporting framework. In addition, we implemented certain information technology controls as described in our remediation activities noted below. Except for the activities described above, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarter ended July 1, 2016 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Remediation of Material Weakness

As disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, Item 9A, for the year ended October 2, 2015, we identified a material weakness in our internal control over financial reporting related to information technology general controls in the areas of user access and program change management. We have developed a remediation plan for this material weakness, the implementation of which remains ongoing as of July 1, 2016 and is described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on November 24, 2015.

Specifically, in the current fiscal year, we:


▪	Implemented stricter administrator access control on certain information systems including our primary ERP system by limiting ability to make program changes to only authorized and appropriate personnel;


▪	Implemented formal provisioning and monitoring procedures specific to privileged user access in our primary ERP system;


▪	Implemented new change management controls to ensure that all system changes are properly monitored and controlled;


▪	Expanded the number and expertise of resources to support and monitor our information technology control structure; and


▪	Initiated a role redesign process for our primary ERP system to reduce segregation of duties conflict risk.

We believe the measures identified above will remediate the material weakness and will strengthen our internal controls over financial reporting related to information technology general controls in the areas of user access and program change management. We are in the process of testing the ongoing operating effectiveness of the enhanced controls and plan to complete our testing before or in connection with the preparation of our consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ending September 30, 2016. We will consider the material weakness remediated after the applicable remedial controls operate effectively for a sufficient period of time.

Notwithstanding the identified material weakness and the conclusion above that our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective as of July 1, 2016, management believes that the consolidated financial statements contained in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present, in all material respects, our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows for the periods presented in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America.

Limitations on Controls

Our disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. Our management recognizes that any control system, no matter how well designed and operated, is based upon certain judgments and assumptions and cannot provide absolute assurance that its objectives will be met. Similarly, an evaluation of controls cannot provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected.

PART II—OTHER INFORMATION

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time we may be subject to commercial disputes, employment issues, claims by other companies in the industry that we have infringed their intellectual property rights and other similar claims and litigations. Any such claims may lead to future litigation and material damages and defense costs. Other than as set forth below, we were not involved in any material pending legal proceedings during the quarter ended July 1, 2016.

GaN Lawsuit Against Infineon. On April 26, 2016, we and our wholly-owned subsidiary Nitronex, LLC brought suit against International Rectifier Corporation (“International Rectifier”), Infineon Technologies Americas Corporation, and Infineon Technologies AG (collectively, “Infineon”) in the Federal District Court for the Central District of California, seeking injunctive relief, monetary damages, and specific performance of certain contractual obligations. The suit arises out of agreements relating to GaN patents that were executed several years ago by Nitronex Corporation (acquired by MACOM in 2014) and International Rectifier (acquired by Infineon AG in 2015). We assert claims for breach of contract, breach of the covenant of good faith and fair dealing, declaratory judgment of contractual rights, and declaratory judgment of non-infringement of patents. Infineon moved to dismiss MACOM’s complaint on July 5, 2016 on various procedural grounds. On July 19, 2016, we filed a first amended complaint omitting International Rectifier as a defendant (since we had been advised that formal legal entity no longer exists), making other amendments intended to moot the grounds for Infineon’s motion to dismiss, and adding a further claim of breach of contract based on some of Infineon’s GaN-on-Si product activities. If successful, the relief sought in our first amended complaint would, among other remedies, require Infineon to assign back to us certain GaN-related Nitronex patents that were previously assigned to International Rectifier and enjoin Infineon from proceeding with its marketing and sales of certain types of GaN-on-Si products.

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS

Our business involves a high degree of risk. In addition to the other information set forth in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, "Item 1A. Risk Factors" in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 2, 2015 and our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 1, 2016, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. As of the date of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, there has been no material changes in any of the risk factors described in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended October 2, 2015, except at noted in our Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q for the quarter ended April 1, 2016 and as noted below:

We are subject to risks from our international sales and operations.

We have operations in Europe, Asia and Australia, and customers around the world. In addition, in December 2015 we acquired FiBest, a Japan-based merchant market component supplier of optical sub-assemblies. The FiBest Acquisition significantly increased our overall scope of operations and employee base in Japan. As a result, we are subject to regulatory, geopolitical and other risks associated with doing business outside the U.S. Global operations involve inherent risks, including currency controls, currency exchange rate fluctuations, tariffs, required import and export licenses, associated delays and other related international trade restrictions and regulations. Further, there is a risk that language barriers, cultural differences and other factors associated with our international operations may make them more difficult to manage effectively.

The legal system in many of the regions where we conduct business can lack transparency in certain respects relative to that of the U.S. and can accord local government authorities a higher degree of control and discretion over business than is customary in the U.S. This makes the process of obtaining necessary regulatory approvals and maintaining compliance inherently more difficult and unpredictable. In addition, the protection accorded to proprietary technology and know-how under these legal systems may not be as strong as in the U.S., and, as a result, we may lose valuable trade secrets and competitive advantages. The cost of doing business in European jurisdictions can also be higher than in the U.S. due to exchange rates, local collective bargaining regimes, and local legal requirements and norms regarding employee benefits and employer-employee relations, in particular. We are also subject to U.S. legal requirements related to our foreign operations, including the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act.

Sales to customers located outside the U.S. accounted for 63.6% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2015. Sales to customers located in the Asia Pacific region typically account for a substantial majority of our overall sales to customers located outside the U.S. We expect that revenue from international sales generally, and sales to the Asia Pacific region specifically, will continue to be a significant part of our total revenue. Therefore, any financial crisis or other major event causing business disruption in international jurisdictions generally, and the Asia Pacific region in particular, could negatively effect our future revenues and results of operations. Further, in 2016 the U.S. Bureau of Industry and Security temporarily blocked exports of U.S. products to one of the largest Chinese telecommunications equipment OEM manufacturers, and issued an administrative subpoena to the largest such manufacturer (who accounted for more than 10% of our revenue for the fiscal year ended October 2, 2015), which could possibly lead to similar restrictions in the future. A U.S. ban on exports to one or more large OEM customers could materially reduce our revenue and reduce the value of an investment in our common stock. Because the majority of our foreign

sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, our products become less price-competitive in countries with currencies that are low or are declining in value against the U.S. dollar. Also, we cannot be sure that our international customers will continue to accept orders denominated in U.S. dollars. If they do not, our reported revenue and earnings will become more directly subject to foreign exchange fluctuations. Some of our customer purchase orders and agreements are governed by foreign laws, which may differ significantly from U.S. laws. We may be limited in our ability to enforce our rights under such agreements and to collect amounts owed to us.

The majority of our assembly, packaging and test vendors are located in Asia. We generally do business with our foreign assemblers in U.S. dollars. Our manufacturing costs could increase in countries with currencies that are increasing in value against the U.S. dollar. Also, our international manufacturing suppliers may not continue to accept orders denominated in U.S. dollars. If they do not, our costs will become more directly subject to foreign exchange fluctuations. From time to time we may attempt to hedge our exposure to foreign currency risk by buying currency contracts or otherwise, and any such efforts involve expense and associated risk that the currencies involved may not behave as we expect, and we may lose money on such hedging strategies or not properly hedge our risk.

In addition, if terrorist activity, armed conflict, civil, economic or military unrest, embargoes or other economic sanctions or political instability occurs in the U.S. or other locations, such events may disrupt our manufacturing, assembly, logistics, security and communications, and could also result in reduced demand for our products. We have in the past and, may again in the future, experience difficulties relating to employees traveling in and out of countries facing civil unrest or political instability, and with obtaining travel visas for our employees. Major health pandemics could also adversely affect our business and our customer order patterns. We could also be affected if labor issues disrupt our transportation arrangements or those of our customers or suppliers. There can be no assurance that we can mitigate all identified risks with reasonable effort. The occurrence of any of these events could have a material adverse effect on our operating results.

If our primary markets decline or fail to grow, our revenue and profitability may suffer.

Our future growth depends to a significant extent on the continued growth in usage of advanced electronic systems in our primary markets: Networks, A&D and Multi-market generally, and in the optical networks market in particular, which accounted for a majority of our revenue in the three months ended July 1, 2016. The rate and extent to which these markets grow, if at all, is uncertain. For example, our ability to capitalize on our recently announced market opportunities in 100G optical networks, GaN RF power and active antennas will depend on, among other things, the future size and growth rates of these markets and the future pace of adoption of our products in these markets. Our markets may fail to grow or decline for many reasons, including insufficient consumer demand, lack of access to capital, sequestration or other changes in the U.S. defense budget and procurement processes, changes in export controls or other regulatory environments, macro-economic factors and changes in network specifications. If demand for electronic systems that incorporates our products declines, fails to grow, or grows more slowly than we anticipate, purchases of our products may be reduced, which may adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations. In particular, we believe that the rollout of fiber-to-the-home network technology and other new network technology developments in China, Japan and certain other geographies will be an important factor in our future growth. If any such expected rollout fails to occur, occurs more slowly than we expect or does not result in the amount or type of new business we anticipate, purchases of our products intended to address the affected markets may be reduced or not occur, which may materially and adversely affect our business, financial condition, results of operations and prospects.
