Note Regarding Forward-Looking Statements

This report contains forward-looking statements. All statements contained in this report other than statements of historical fact, including statements regarding COVID-19's anticipated impacts on our business, our future operating results and financial position, our business strategy and plans, our market growth and trends, and our objectives for future operations, are forward-looking statements. The words “believe,” “may,” “will,” “estimate,” “continue,” “anticipate,” “intend,” “expect,” “could,” “would,” “project,” “plan,” “potentially,” “preliminary,” “likely,” and similar expressions are intended to identify forward-looking statements. We have based these forward-looking statements largely on our current expectations and projections about future events and trends that we believe may affect our financial condition, results of operations, business strategy, short-term and long-term business operations and objectives, and financial needs. These forward-looking statements are subject to a number of risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, including those described under Part II, Item 1A. Moreover, we operate in a competitive and changing environment. New risks emerge from time to time. It is not possible for our management to predict all risks, nor can we assess the effect of all factors on our business or the extent to which any factor, or combination of factors, may cause actual results to differ materially from those contained in any forward-looking statements we may make. In light of these risks, uncertainties, and assumptions, the future events and trends discussed in this report may not occur and actual results could differ materially and adversely from those anticipated or implied in the forward-looking statements. Accordingly, you should not rely on forward-looking statements as predictions of future events. Although we believe that the expectations reflected in the forward-looking statements are reasonable, we cannot guarantee that the future results, performance, or events and circumstances reflected in the forward-looking statements will be achieved or occur. We do not intend to update any of these forward-looking statements for any reason after the date of this report or to conform these statements to actual results or revised expectations, except as required by law.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(unaudited)

NOTE 1: DESCRIPTION OF BUSINESS AND SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
Description of Business

Quantum Corporation, together with its consolidated subsidiaries (“Quantum” or the “Company”), is a leader in storing and managing digital video and other forms of unstructured data, delivering top streaming performance for video and rich media applications, along with low-cost, long-term storage systems for data protection and archiving. The Company helps customers around the world capture, create and share digital data and preserve and protect it for decades. The Company’s software-defined, hyperconverged storage solutions span from non-violate memory express (“NVMe”), to solid state drives, (“SSD”), hard disk drives, (“HDD”), tape, the cloud, and video surveillance are tied together leveraging a single namespace view of the entire data environment. The Company works closely with a broad network of distributors, value-added resellers (“VARs”), direct marketing resellers (“DMRs”), original equipment manufacturers (“OEMs”) and other suppliers to meet customers’ evolving needs.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements of the Company have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) for interim financial information. All intercompany balances and transactions have been eliminated. Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in annual financial statements have been condensed or omitted. The Company believes the disclosures made are adequate to prevent the information presented from being misleading. However, the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements and notes thereto included within the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K.

The unaudited consolidated interim financial statements reflect all adjustments, consisting only of normal and recurring items, necessary to present fairly our financial position as of June 30, 2022, the results of operations and comprehensive loss, statements of cash flows, and changes in stockholder's deficit for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of full year performance because of the impact of seasonal and short-term variations.

Use of Estimates

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported and disclosed in the financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from these estimates and assumptions due to risks and uncertainties, including uncertainty in the current economic environment from the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. Such estimates include, but are not limited to, the determination of standalone selling price for revenue arrangements with multiple performance obligations, useful lives of intangible assets and property and equipment, stock-based compensation and provision for income taxes including related reserves. Management bases its estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions which management believes to be reasonable, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities.

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncement

None.

Unamortized debt issuance costs related to the PNC Credit Facility are presented within other assets on the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheets.

On December 27, 2018, the Company entered into a senior secured term loan (the "Senior Secured Term Loan”) and amended its existing PNC Bank Credit Facility Agreement (the "PNC Credit Facility"). On February 11, 2021, the Company prepaid $92.3 million of its outstanding Senior Secured Term Loan.
On August 5, 2021, the Company entered into a new senior secured term loan to borrow an aggregate of $100.0 million (the “Term Loan”). A portion of the proceeds were used to repay in full all outstanding borrowings under the Senior Secured Term Loan. Borrowings under the Term Loan mature on August 5, 2026. Principal is payable at a rate per annum equal to (a) 2.5% of the original principal balance thereof during the first year following the closing date of the Term Loan and (b) 5% of the original principal balance thereof thereafter. Principal and interest payments are payable on a quarterly basis.
On April 25, 2022, the Company entered into amendments to the Term Loan and the PNC Credit Facility. The Term Loan amendment, among other things, (a) amended the total net leverage ratio financial covenant and the minimum liquidity financial covenant commencing with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022; and; (b) replaced the benchmark rate for LIBOR Rate Loans with a rate based on the Secured Overnight Financing Rate ("SOFR"). The amendment to the Term Loan was accounted for as a modification. The Company incurred $0.4 million in costs related to the modification which are reflected as a reduction to the carrying amount of the Term Loan and amortized to interest expense over the remaining loan term.
Loans under the Term Loan designated as ABR Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) 1.75%, (ii) the Federal funds rate plus 0.50%; (iii) the SOFR Rate based upon an interest period of one month plus 1.0%; and (iv) the “Prime Rate” last quoted by the Wall Street Journal, plus an applicable margin of 5.00%. Loans designated as SOFR Rate Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the SOFR Rate plus an applicable margin of 6.00%. The SOFR Rate is subject to a floor of 0.75%. The Company can designate a loan as an ABR Rate Loan or SOFR Rate Loan in its discretion.
The PNC Credit Facility amendment, among other things, (a) increased the principal amount of revolving commitments from $30.0 million to $40.0 million; (b) waived compliance with the fixed charge coverage ratio financial covenant until the fiscal quarter ended March 31, 2025; (c) amended the total net leverage ratio financial covenant and the minimum liquidity financial covenant commencing with the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022; and (d) replaced the benchmark rate for PNC LIBOR Rate Loans with a rate based on SOFR. The amendment to the PNC Credit Facility was accounted for as a modification. The Company incurred $0.4 million in costs which were recorded to other assets and amortized to interest expense over the remaining term of the agreement.

Table of Contents
Loans designated as PNC SOFR Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the SOFR Rate plus 2.75% until December 31, 2023 and thereafter between 2.25% and 2.75% determined based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio, (as defined in the PNC Credit Facility Agreement) for the most recently completed fiscal quarter (the "PNC SOFR Loan Interest Rate"). Loans under the PNC Credit Facility designated as PNC Domestic Rate Loans and Swing Loans bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the greatest of (i) the base commercial lending rate of PNC Bank; (ii) the Overnight Bank Funding Rate plus 0.5%; and (iii) the daily SOFR Rate plus 1.0%, plus 1.75% until December 31, 2023 and thereafter between 1.25% and 1.75% determined based on the Company’s Total Net Leverage Ratio (the “PNC Domestic Loan Interest Rate”).
With respect to any PNC SOFR Rate Loan, the Company has agreed to pay affiliates of certain Term Loan lenders a fee equal to a percentage per annum equal to the sum of (x) 6.50%, minus (y) the PNC SOFR Loan Interest Rate, plus (z) if the SOFR Rate applicable to such interest payment is less than 0.75%, (i) 0.75% minus (ii) such SOFR Rate. With respect to any Domestic Rate Loan or Swing Loan, the Company has agreed to pay an affiliate of certain Term Loan lenders a fee equal to a percentage per annum equal to the sum of (x) 5.50%, minus (y) the PNC Domestic Loan Interest Rate, plus (z) if the Alternative Base Rate applicable to such interest payment is less than 1.00%, (i) 1.00% minus (ii) such Alternative Base Rate.
During the first fiscal quarter ending June 30, 2022, the Company recorded a loss on debt extinguishment of $1.4 million related to a $20.0 million prepayment of the Term Loan which was comprised of a $0.4 million prepayment penalty and the write-off of unamortized debt issuance costs of $1.0 million.
As of June 30, 2022, the interest rate on the Term Loan was 7.01% and the interest rate on the PNC Credit Facility for Domestic Rate Loans and Swing Loans was 6.50% and for LIBOR Loans was 2.61%. As of June 30, 2022, the PNC Credit Facility had a borrowing base of $29.1 million, of which $11.8 million was available at that date.

NOTE 6: COMMON STOCK
Common Stock Rights Offering

On April 25, 2022, the Company completed a rights offering of 30 million shares of its common stock for $2.25 per share (the “Rights Offering”). The proceeds net of offering expenses was $66.3 million. A portion of the proceeds from the Rights Offering was used to prepay $20.0 million of the Company’s Term Loan.

Warrants

As of the date of the Rights Offering, the Company had outstanding warrants to purchase 7,110,616 shares of the Company’s common stock at an exercise price of $1.33 per share and outstanding warrants to purchase 3,400,000 shares of the Company's common stock at an exercise price of $3.00 per share (the “$3.00 Warrants"). The exercise price and the number of shares underlying these warrants are subject to adjustment in the event of specified events, including dilutive issuances of common stock linked equity instruments at a price lower than the exercise price of the warrants, a subdivision or combination of the Company’s common stock, a reclassification of the Company’s common stock or specified dividend payments (the “Down Round Feature”).

On April 25, 2022, the Down Round Feature was triggered for the $3.00 Warrants due to the price per share received in the Rights Offering. The exercise price for the $3.00 Warrants was adjusted to $2.79 per share and an additional 256,113 warrants were subsequently issued with an exercise price of $2.79. The Company calculated the difference between the $3.00 Warrants’ fair value before and after the Down Round Feature was triggered using the original exercise price and the new exercise price in addition to the value of the newly issued warrants. The difference in fair value of the effect of the Down Round Feature of $0.4 million was reflected as a deemed dividend and a reduction to income available to common stockholders in the basic earnings per share calculation. The Company used the Black-Scholes-Merton option-pricing model to determine the fair value of the deemed dividend. The assumptions used in the model are as follows: dividend rate of 0%;, expected term of 8 years; volatility of 56%; and a risk-free rate 2.85%.

NOTE 7: NET LOSS PER SHARE
The following outstanding stock-based instruments which are comprised of performance share units, restricted stock units, and warrants were excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their effect would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):

Three Months Ended June 30,
20222021
2,849 11,436 

The dilutive impact related to common stock from restricted stock units and warrants is determined by applying the treasury stock method to the assumed vesting of outstanding restricted stock units and the exercise of outstanding warrants. The dilutive impact related to common stock from contingently issuable performance share units is determined by applying a two-step approach using both the contingently issuable share guidance and the treasury stock method.




NOTE 8: INCOME TAXES
The effective tax rate for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 was (4.2)% and (0.3)%. The effective tax rates differed from the federal statutory tax rate of 21% during each of these periods due primarily to unbenefited losses experienced in jurisdictions with valuation allowances on deferred tax assets as well as the forecasted mix of earnings in domestic and international jurisdictions.

As of June 30, 2022, including interest and penalties, the Company had $101.5 million of unrecognized tax benefits, $82.9 million of which, if recognized, would favorably affect the effective tax rate without consideration of the valuation allowance. As of June 30, 2022 the Company had accrued interest and penalties related to these unrecognized tax benefits of $1.3 million. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to income tax matters in the income tax provision in the condensed consolidated statements of operations. As of June 30, 2022, $94.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits were recorded as a contra deferred tax asset in other long-term assets in the condensed consolidated balance sheets and $7.5 million (including interest and penalties) were recorded in other long-term liabilities in the condensed consolidated balance sheets. During the next 12 months, it is reasonably possible that approximately $10.8 million of tax benefits, inclusive of interest and penalties, that are currently unrecognized could be recognized as a result of the expiration of applicable statutes of limitations.


NOTE 9: COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES
Commitments to Purchase Inventory
The Company uses contract manufacturers for its manufacturing operations. Under these arrangements, the contract manufacturer procures inventory to manufacture products based upon the Company’s forecast of customer demand. The Company has similar arrangements with certain other suppliers. The Company is responsible for the financial impact on the supplier or contract manufacturer of any reduction or product mix shift in the forecast relative to materials that the third party had already purchased under a prior forecast. Such a variance in forecasted demand could require a cash payment for inventory in excess of current customer demand or for costs of excess or obsolete inventory. As of June 30, 2022, the Company had issued non-cancelable commitments for $50.9 million to purchase inventory from its contract manufacturers and suppliers.


Legal Proceedings
12

Table of Contents
On July 22, 2016, Realtime Data LLC d/b/a IXO (“Realtime Data”) filed a patent infringement lawsuit against the Company in the U.S. District Court for the Eastern District of Texas, alleging infringement of U.S. Patents Nos. 7,161,506, 7,378,992, 7,415,530, 8,643,513, 9,054,728, and 9,116,908. The lawsuit has been transferred to the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California for further proceedings. Realtime Data asserts that the Company has incorporated Realtime Data’s patented technology into its compression products and services. Realtime Data seeks unspecified monetary damages and other relief that the Court deems appropriate. On July 31, 2017, the District Court stayed proceedings in this litigation pending the outcome of Inter Partes Review proceedings before the Patent Trial and Appeal Board relating to the Realtime patents. In those proceedings the asserted claims of the ’506 patent, the ’992 patent, and the ’513 patent were found unpatentable. In addition, on July 19, 2019, the United States District Court for the District of Delaware issued a decision finding that all claims of the ’728 patent, the ’530 patent, and the ’908 patent are not eligible for patent protection under 35 U.S.C. § 101 (the “Delaware Action”). On appeal, the Federal Circuit vacated the decision in the Delaware Action and remanded for the Court to “elaborate on its ruling.” The case pending against Quantum in the Northern District of California remains stayed pending the final outcome in the Delaware Action. On May 4, 2021, the Court in the Delaware Action reaffirmed its earlier ruling and granted defendants’ motions to dismiss under Section 101. The Court also granted Realtime Data fourteen days to file amended complaints in the Delaware Action where they sought leave to do so. On May 19, 2021, Realtime Data filed amended complaints including revised bases for claims of infringement of the same patents. On June 29, 2021, defendants in the Delaware Action filed a renewed motion to dismiss under Section 101. Realtime Data filed its opposition to the motion to dismiss on July 13, 2021. On August 23, 2021, the Court again reaffirmed its earlier ruling and granted defendants’ motions to dismiss under Section 101. Realtime Data has appealed that decision to the Federal Circuit. On September 7, 2021, the case against Quantum in the Northern District of California was stayed pending the outcome of Realtime Data’s appeal in the Delaware Action. Quantum believes the probability that this lawsuit will have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results or financial condition is remote.

On July 14, 2020, Starboard Value LP, Starboard Value and Opportunity Master Fund Ltd., Starboard Value and Opportunity S LLC, and Starboard Value and Opportunity C LP (collectively, “Starboard”) filed a lawsuit against Quantum Corporation, Quantum’s former CEO and board member Jon Gacek, and former Quantum board member Paul Auvil in the California Superior Court in Santa Clara County. The complaint alleges that between 2012 and 2014, Starboard purchased a large number of shares of Quantum’s common stock, obtained three seats on Quantum’s board of directors and then, in July 2014, entered into an agreement with Quantum whereby Starboard would not seek control of Quantum’s board but would instead support Quantum’s slate of board nominees so long as Quantum met certain performance objectives by the end of fiscal 2015. The complaint further alleges that Quantum hid its failure to meet those performance objectives by improperly recognizing revenue in fiscal 2015. Mr. Gacek resigned from the board effective May 1, 2017, and as CEO effective November 7, 2017; Mr. Auvil resigned from the board effective November 8, 2017. The complaint’s accounting allegations largely repeat allegations made in now-concluded shareholder class actions, shareholder derivative actions and an SEC investigation, the settlement of which Quantum previously reported in the Company’s Form 10-Q filed with the SEC on January 29, 2020 and Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 6, 2019 (among other SEC filings). On September 14, 2020, defendants filed a motion to dismiss the California action on grounds of forum non conveniens and the mandatory Delaware forum selection clauses set forth in the contracts between Starboard and Quantum. On November 19, 2020, Starboard filed a first amended complaint in which Quantum was not named as a defendant, in effect dismissing Quantum from the California action. On January 8, 2021, Messrs. Gacek and Auvil moved to dismiss the amended complaint in California on grounds of forum non conveniens and the mandatory Delaware forum selection clauses set forth in the contracts between Starboard and Quantum. On March 11, 2021, the California Superior Court stayed the California action.

On April 14, 2021, Starboard filed a new action in the Delaware Court of Chancery, naming as defendants Messrs. Gacek and Auvil and Quantum. The new action largely repeats the allegations of the California action, alleging claims for fraud against all defendants, fraudulent concealment against all defendants, negligent misrepresentation against all defendants, breach of contract against Quantum, breach of the implied covenant of good faith and fair dealing against Quantum, and breach of fiduciary duty against Messrs. Gacek and Auvil. The complaint prays for unspecified damages in an amount to be determined at trial, costs and attorneys’ fees, and any other relief deemed just or appropriate by the court. On May 10, 2021, Quantum filed a motion to dismiss this Delaware action, as did Messrs. Gacek and Auvil. Briefing on the motions ended July 26, 2021. The Court held oral argument on the motions on November 1, 2021. On January 28, 2022, via a bench ruling, the Court granted the motions to dismiss the breach of fiduciary duty claims against Messrs. Gacek and Auvil and denied the motions to dismiss the remaining claims; the bench ruling was confirmed in a written order filed February 24, 2022. On March 28, 2022, Quantum filed an answer and affirmative defenses to the complaint, as did Messrs. Gacek and Auvil. Discovery is

underway. On May 3, 2022, the Court filed a stipulated order governing case schedule, setting trial for June 6-9, 2023, and also setting a number of pretrial deadlines.

On March 4, 2022, Starboard filed a request for dismissal without prejudice of the California action because the matter is proceeding in Delaware. On March 10, 2022, the California Superior Court entered a minute order dismissing the action without prejudice. At this time, Quantum is unable to estimate the range of possible outcomes with respect to this matter.

Other Commitments
Additionally, from time to time, the Company is a party to various legal proceedings and claims arising from the normal course of business activities. Based on current available information, the Company does not expect that the ultimate outcome of any currently pending unresolved matters, individually or in the aggregate, will have a material adverse effect on its results of operations, cash flows or financial position.

OVERVIEW
We are a technology company whose mission is to deliver innovative solutions to organizations across the world. We design, manufacture and sell technology and services that help customers capture, create and share digital content, and protect it for decades. We emphasize innovative technology in the design and manufacture of our products to help our customers unlock the value in their video and unstructured data in new ways to solve their most pressing business challenges.

We generate revenue by designing, manufacturing, and selling technology and services. Our most significant expenses are related to compensating employees; designing, manufacturing, marketing, and selling our products and services; data center costs in support of our cloud-based services; interest associated with our long term debt and income taxes.

COVID-19 and Macroeconomic Conditions

COVID-19 has caused a significant disruption to the global supply chain, which continues to have a negative impact on our business. Before the current disruptions in the global supply chain our historical backlog was very limited and typically represented less than 5% of quarterly revenues. However, in fiscal 2022 continuing into fiscal 2023, our backlog has grown significantly, which has been driven primarily by our receipt of large purchase orders and our inability to satisfy those orders within our typical shipping timeline due to supply chain constraints. For example, as of June 30, 2022, our backlog was $46.8 million and has increased to $67.2 million as of July 31, 2022. The changes in our backlog are a result of the timing of receipt of large purchase orders. We anticipate that supply chain constraints will remain challenging, limiting our ability to ship against all customer demand and recognize a meaningful portion of the current backlog.

In addition, the instability of global economic conditions, inflationary risks, military actions and armed conflicts and associated increased international trade regulations are adding to the uncertainty of our business. These adverse conditions could result in reductions in sales of our products and subscriptions for our services, longer sales cycles, increased costs to manufacture our products and increased price competition. Also, certain of our customers and partners have been and others may become credit or cash constrained, making it difficult for them to fulfill their payment obligations to us or require us to extend their payment terms. Given the dynamic nature of these macroeconomic conditions, we cannot reasonably estimate their full impact on our ongoing business, results of operations and overall financial performance.

We will continue to actively monitor the impact of COVID-19 and global economic conditions and may take further actions altering our business operations that we determine are in the best interests of our employees, customers, partners, suppliers, and stakeholders, or as required by federal, state, or local authorities. Global supply chain disruptions and the higher inflationary environment remain unpredictable and our past results may not be indicative of future performance. See Part II, Item 1A, Risk Factors, of our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for information regarding the risks we face as a result of the COVID-19 pandemic and an uncertain global economy.

Table of Contents
In the three months ended June 30, 2022, product revenue increased $8.1 million, or 15%, as compared to the same period in 2021. Primary storage systems increased $4.2 million, or 38%, primarily driven from increased sales of our video surveillance solutions. Secondary storage systems increased $4.8 million, or 17%, driven by higher demand in hyperscale use cases.
Service revenue
We offer a broad range of services including product maintenance, implementation, and training as well as software subscriptions. Service revenue is primarily comprised of customer field support contracts which provide standard support services for our hardware. Standard service contracts may be extended or include enhanced service, such as faster service response times.
Service and subscription revenue increased 2% in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 driven partially by growing sales of our recurring software subscription offerings as well as service revenue associated with newly acquired businesses.
Royalty revenue
We receive royalties from third parties that license our LTO media patents through our membership in the LTO consortium. Royalty revenue decreased $0.7 million, or 17%, in the three months ended June 30, 2022 compared to the same period in 2021 due to decreased market volume of older generation LTO media.

Product Gross Margin
Product gross margin decreased 530 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the same period in 2021. This decrease was due primarily to recent cost increases in materials across our global supply chain. We expect these cost increases to continue for the foreseeable future and are taking proactive measures to address the impact these cost increases could have on our business in the future.
Service and Subscription Gross Margin
Service and subscription gross margins decreased 540 basis points for the three months ended June 30, 2022, as compared with the same period in 2021. This was partially driven by cost pressures as a result of certain constraints in the global supply chain.

In the three months ended June 30, 2022, research and development expense increased $0.8 million, or 7%, as compared with the same period in 2021. This increase was primarily driven by an increase in personnel costs due to increased headcount from acquisitions.
In the three months ended June 30, 2022, sales and marketing expenses increased $2.0 million, or 14%, as compared with the same period in 2021. This increase was driven by increased headcount as we invest in strategic areas to accelerate growth. This increase in headcount includes those employees added through acquisitions over the year. Both marketing expense and travel expense have also increased over the prior year as COVID-19 restrictions ease.
In the three months ended June 30, 2022, general and administrative expenses increased $0.5 million, or 4%, as compared with the same period in 2021. This increase was largely driven by increased intangible amortization from recent acquisitions.
In the three months ended June 30, 2022, restructuring expenses increased $0.5 million, or 173%, as compared with the same period in 2021. The increase was the result of cost reduction initiatives.

Income tax provision$410 — $13 — $397 3,054 

The income tax provision for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 is primarily influenced by foreign and state income taxes. Due to our history of net losses in the United States, the protracted period for utilizing tax attributes in certain foreign jurisdictions, and the difficulty in predicting future results, we believe that we cannot rely on projections of future taxable income to realize most of our deferred tax assets. Accordingly, we have established a full valuation allowance against our U.S. and certain foreign net deferred tax assets. Significant management judgement is required in assessing our ability to realize any future benefit from our net deferred tax assets. We intend to maintain this valuation allowance until sufficient positive evidence exists to support its reversal. Our income tax expense recorded in the future will be reduced to the extent that sufficient positive evidence materializes to support a reversal of, or decrease in, our valuation allowance.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES
We consider liquidity in terms of the sufficiency of internal and external cash resources to fund our operating, investing and financing activities. Our principal sources of liquidity include cash from operating activities, cash and cash equivalents on our balance sheet and amounts available under our PNC Credit Facility. We require significant cash resources to meet obligations to pay principal and interest on our outstanding debt, provide for our research and development activities, fund our working capital needs, and make capital expenditures. Our future liquidity requirements will depend on multiple factors, including our research and development plans and capital asset needs. We are subject to the risks arising from COVID-19 and substantial financial market volatility which have adversely affected both the U.S. and the global economy. We have experienced negative impacts on sales due to global supply chain constraints, inflationary concerns and overall uncertainty in the macroeconomic environment which has resulted in a significant increase in our sales backlog compared to our historical levels. The extent of the impacts will depend, in part, on how long the negative trends in customer demand and supply chain levels will continue. We expect the impact of COVID-19 and market instability to continue to have a significant impact on our liquidity and capital resources.
We had cash and cash equivalents of $26.5 million as of June 30, 2022, which consisted primarily of bank deposits and money market accounts. As of June 30, 2022 we had $11.8 million available to borrow under the PNC Credit Facility.
We are subject to various debt covenants under our debt agreements including a net leverage covenant and a $25 million minimum liquidity covenant . Our failure to comply with our debt covenants could materially and adversely affect our financial condition and ability to service our obligations. On April 25, 2022, we amended the covenant levels for our financial covenants under our term debt and PNC Credit Facility. We believe we were in compliance with all covenants under our debt agreements as of the date of filing of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. For additional information about our debt, see the sections entitled “Risk Factors—Risks Related to Our Business Operations” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

Cash Flows

The following table summarizes our consolidated cash flows for the periods indicated.

Cash Used In Operating Activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $18.3 million for the three months ended June 30, 2022. This use of cash was primarily attributable to changes in working capital of $15.6 million driven by a decrease in deferred revenue of $13.6 million. The decrease in deferred revenue reflects the seasonal nature of service contract renewals.

Net cash used in operating activities was $6.9 million for the three months ended June 30, 2021. This use of cash is primarily attributable to changes in working capital of $10.0 million driven by an increase in manufacturing and service parts inventories of $4.4 million, an increase in accounts payable, accrued compensation, deferred revenue of $3.2 million, $4.9 million and $6.3 million, respectively, partially offset by a reduction in accounts receivable of $15.2 million. The decrease in deferred revenue reflects the seasonal nature of service contract renewals.

Cash Used in Investing Activities

Table of Contents
Net cash used in investing activities was $5.0 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, which was primarily attributable to capital expenditures of $3.0 million and a $2.0 million deferred business acquisition payment.

Net cash used in investing activities was $1.2 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021, which included approximately $1.0 million related to capital expenditures.

Cash Provided by Financing Activities

Net cash provided by financing activities was $44.6 million in the three months ended June 30, 2022, which was related primarily to $66.3 million of cash received from the Rights Offering of 30 million shares of our common stock offset by a $20 million prepayment of our term debt and a term debt principal amortization payment of $0.6 million

Net cash used in financing activities was $0.5 million in the three months ended June 30, 2021 related to a term debt principal amortization payment.

Commitments and Contingencies

Our contingent liabilities consist primarily of certain financial guarantees, both express and implied, related to product liability and potential infringement of intellectual property. We have little history of costs associated with such indemnification requirements and contingent liabilities associated with product liability may be mitigated by our insurance coverage. In the normal course of business to facilitate transactions of our services and products, we indemnify certain parties with respect to certain matters, such as intellectual property infringement or other claims. We also have indemnification agreements with our current and former officers and directors. It is not possible to determine the maximum potential amount under these indemnification agreements due to the limited history of our indemnification claims, and the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular agreement. Historically, payments made by us under these agreements have not had a material impact on our operating results, financial position or cash flows.

We are also subject to ordinary course litigation.

Off Balance Sheet Arrangements

Except for the indemnification commitments described under “—Commitments and Contingencies” above, we do not currently have any other off-balance sheet arrangements and do not have any holdings in variable interest entities.

Contractual Obligations

We have contractual obligations and commercial commitments, some of which, such as purchase obligations, are not recognized as liabilities in our financial statements. There have not been any other material changes to the contractual obligations disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022.

Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies
The preparation of our consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make judgments, estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. On an ongoing basis, we evaluate estimates, which are based on historical experience and on various other assumptions that we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances. We consider certain accounting policies to be critical to understanding our financial statements because the application of these policies requires significant judgment on the part of management, which could have a material impact on our financial statements if actual performance should differ from historical experience or if our assumptions were to change. Our accounting policies that include estimates that require management’s subjective or complex judgments about the effects of matters that are inherently uncertain are summarized in our most recently filed Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended March 31, 2022 under the section entitled “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations—Liquidity and Capital Resources—Critical Accounting Estimates and Policies.” For additional information on our significant accounting policies, see Note 1 to our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements included elsewhere in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK
There have been no material changes to our quantitative and qualitative disclosures about market risk from those described under “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” included in our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K, which such section is incorporated herein by reference.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Our management, with the participation of our principal executive and principal financial officers, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934), as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report. Based on such evaluation, our principal executive and principal financial officers have concluded that as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level described below.

Changes in Internal Control

In connection with the evaluation required by Rule 13a-15(d) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, there were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the quarter ended June 30, 2022 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls

Our management does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within our company have been detected. The design of any system of controls is also 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. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. Because of the inherent limitations in a cost-effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
