NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

Note 1 — The Company and Basis of Presentation

QuickLogic Corporation, or QuickLogic or the Company, was founded in 1988 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999. The Company enables Original Equipment Manufacturers, or OEMs to maximize battery life for highly differentiated, immersive user experiences with Smartphone, Wearable, Hearable, Tablet and Internet-of-Things, or IoT devices. QuickLogic delivers these benefits through industry leading ultra-low power customer programmable System on Chip, or SoC, semiconductor solutions, embedded software, and algorithm solutions for always-on voice and sensor processing, and enhanced visual experiences. The Company is a fabless semiconductor provider of comprehensive, flexible sensor processing solutions, ultra-low power display bridges, and ultra-low power Field Programmable Gate Arrays, or FPGAs. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SensiML Corporation, or SensiML, provides Analytics Toolkit, which is used in many of the applications where the Company’s ArcticPro™, eFPGA intellectual property, or IP plays a critical role. SensiML Analytics toolkit is an end-to-end software suite that provides OEMs a straightforward process for developing pattern matching sensor algorithms using machine learning technology that are optimized for ultra-low power consumption.

The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The Company recommends that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2019, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 13, 2020. Operating results for the three months ended March 29, 2020 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.

QuickLogic's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31 and each fiscal quarter ends on the Sunday closest to the end of each calendar quarter. QuickLogic's first fiscal quarters for 2020 and for 2019 ended on March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively.

COVID-19 Risks and Uncertainties

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared a global emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and on February 28, 2020, the WHO raised its assessment of the threat from high to very high at a global level. The outbreak has resulted in significant governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of COVID-19, including, among others, restrictions on travel, business operations and the movement of people in many regions of the world in which the Company operates, and the imposition of shelter-in-place or similarly restrictive work-from-home orders impacting many of the Company’s offices and employees, including those located in the United States.

 As a result, the Company has temporarily closed or substantially limited the presence of personnel in its offices in several impacted locations, implemented travel restrictions and withdrawn from various industry events. The impact of the Company’s work-from-home policy that was implemented to protect its global workforce has contributed to delays in certain operational processes, including its routine quarterly financial statement close process for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company has also experienced some disruption and delays in its supply chain, customer deployment plans, and logistics challenges, including certain limitations on its ability to access customer fulfilment and service sites.

 The COVID-19 pandemic and its potential effects on the Company’s business in its fiscal 2020 remain dynamic, and the broader implications for its business and results of operations remain uncertain. These implications could include further disruptions or restrictions on the Company’s ability to source, manufacture or distribute its products, including temporary disruptions to the facilities of its contract manufacturers in China, Taiwan, Philippines and Singapore, or the facilities of its suppliers and their contract manufacturers globally. Additionally, multiple countries have imposed and may further impose restrictions on business operations and movement of people and products to limit the spread of COVID-19. Delays in production or delivery of components or raw materials that are part of the Company’s global supply chain due to restrictions imposed to limit the spread of COVID-19 could delay or inhibit its ability to obtain the supply of components and finished goods. If COVID-19 becomes more prevalent in the locations where the Company, its customers or suppliers conduct business, or the Company experiences more pronounced disruptions in its operations, the Company may experience constrained supply or curtailed demand that may materially adversely impact its business and results of operations. In addition, any other widespread health crisis that could adversely affect global and regional economies, financial markets and overall demand environment for the Company's products could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, cash flows or results of operations.

Liquidity

The Company has financed its operations and capital investments through sales of common stock, finance and operating leases, a revolving line of credit and cash flows from operations. As of March 29, 2020, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash of $19.0 million, including $15.0 million drawn down from its revolving line of credit, or Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank of Commerce, or Heritage Bank. On November 6, 2019 the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank to extend the maturity date for one year through September 28, 2021. Under this amendment the Revolving Facility advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) one half of one percentage point (0.50%) above the Prime Rate, or (ii) five and one half of one percentage points (5.50%). On May 6, 2020 we entered into a loan agreement with Heritage Bank for a loan of $1.2 million pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the CARES Act enacted on March 27, 2020. See Note 18 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for the details.

Various factors can affect the Company’s liquidity, including, among others: the level of revenue and gross profit as a result of the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry; the conversion of design opportunities into revenue; market acceptance of existing and new products including solutions based on its ArcticLink®, PolarPro® platforms, eFPGA, EOS S3 SoC, Quick AI solution, and SensiML software; fluctuations in revenue as a result of product end-of-life; fluctuations in revenue as a result of the stage in the product life cycle of its customers’ products; costs of securing access to and availability of adequate manufacturing capacity; levels of inventories; wafer purchase commitments; customer credit terms; the amount and timing of research and development expenditures; the timing of new product introductions; production volumes; product quality; sales and marketing efforts; the value and liquidity of its investment portfolio; changes in operating assets and liabilities; the ability to obtain or renew debt financing and to remain in compliance with the terms of existing credit facilities; the ability to raise funds from the sale of equity in the Company; the ability to capitalize on synergies with our newly acquired subsidiary SensiML; the issuance and exercise of stock options and participation in the Company’s employee stock purchase plan; and other factors related to the uncertainties of the industry and global economics.

Over the longer term, the Company anticipates that sales generated from its new product offerings, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from its Revolving Facility with the Heritage Bank, assuming renewal of the Revolving Facility or the Company entering into a new debt agreement with an alternative lender prior to the expiration of the revolving line of credit in September 2021, and its ability to raise additional capital in the public capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy its operations and capital expenditures. However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital, if required, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. The inability of the Company to generate sufficient sales from its new product offerings and/or raise additional capital if needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition, including its ability to maintain compliance with its lender’s financial covenants.

Reverse Stock Split

Effective on December 23, 2019, the Company enacted a 1-for-14 reverse stock split of its outstanding common stock, in which, every 14 issued and outstanding shares of common stock of the Company were automatically combined into one issued and outstanding share of common stock without any change in the par value per share. Stockholders who would have otherwise been entitled to fractional shares of common stock as a result of the reverse stock split received a cash payment in lieu of receiving fractional shares. All share, equity awards, and per share amounts contained in this Form 10-Q and the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements have been adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all prior periods presented. Warrants issued in connection with the May 2018 stock issuance were also adjusted to reflect the reverse stock split for all periods presented.

Principles of Consolidation

The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QuickLogic and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.

Foreign Currency

The functional currency of the Company's non-U.S. operations is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all monetary assets and liabilities of these foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current period-end exchange rates and non-monetary assets and related elements of expense are translated using historical exchange rates. Income and expense elements are translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses from the foreign

8


 

currency transactions of these subsidiaries are recorded as interest income and other expense, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.

Uses of Estimates

The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, particularly in relation to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns, valuation of long-lived assets including mask sets, valuation of goodwill, capitalized internal-use software and related amortizable lives and intangibles related to the acquisition of SensiML, including the estimated useful lives of acquired intangible assets, valuation of inventories including identification of excess quantities, market value and obsolescence, measurement of stock-based compensation awards, accounting for income taxes and estimating accrued liabilities.

Contracts with customers often include promises to transfer multiple products and services to a customer. Determining whether products and services are considered distinct performance obligations that should be accounted for separately versus together may require significant judgment.

Judgment is required to determine the Stand-alone Selling Price, or SSP, for each distinct performance obligation. The Company uses a range of amounts to estimate SSP when each of the products and services are sold separately and determines the discount to be allocated based on the relative SSP of the various products and services when products and services sold are bundled. In instances where SSP is not directly observable, such as when the Company does not sell the product or service separately, it determines the SSP using information that may include market conditions and other observable inputs. The Company typically has more than one SSP for individual products and services due to the stratification of those products and services by customers. In these instances, the Company may use information such as the size of the customer, customer tier, type of the technology used, customer demographics, geographic region and other factors in determining the SSP.

Concentration of Risk

The Company's accounts receivable are denominated in U.S. dollars and are derived primarily from sales to customers located in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. See Note 14 for information regarding concentrations associated with accounts receivable.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

During the three-month period ended March 29, 2020, there were no changes in the Company's significant accounting policies from its disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2019, except for the new accounting standards adopted during the three months ended March 29, 2020. For a discussion of the significant accounting policies, please see the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2020. For a discussion of the new accounting standards adopted during the three months of 2020, see “New Accounting Pronouncements” below.

Revenue Recognition

The Company applies Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, to recognize revenue. The guidance states that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services.

Under the new standard revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration it expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

 

Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer;

 

Identification of the performance obligations in the contract;

 

Determination of the transaction price;

 

Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and

 

Recognition of revenue when, or as, a performance obligation is satisfied.

9


 

As part of its assessment of each contract, the Company evaluates certain factors including the customer’s ability to pay, or credit risk. For each contract, the Company considers the promise to transfer products, each of which is distinct, to be the identified performance obligations. In determining the transaction price, the price stated on the purchase order is typically fixed and represents the net consideration to which the Company expects to be entitled, and therefore there is no variable consideration. As the Company’s standard payment terms are less than one year, the Company has elected, as a practical expedient, to not assess whether a contract has a significant financing component. The Company allocates the transaction price to each distinct product based on its relative stand-alone selling price. The product price as specified on the purchase order is considered the stand-alone selling price as it is an observable source that depicts the price as if sold to a similar customer in similar circumstances.

Leases

The Company applies Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and related ASUs, which provide supplementary guidance and clarifications to account operating and finance leases. Under Topic 842, all significant lease arrangements are generally recognized at lease commencement. Operating lease right-of-use, or ROU, assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. A ROU asset and corresponding lease liability is not recorded for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short term leases) and the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases as incurred over the lease term.

ROU assets represent the Company’s right to use an underlying asset during the reasonably certain lease terms and lease liabilities represent the Company’s obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company primarily uses its incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments related to initial direct cost and prepayments and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. As of March 29, 2020, the Company’s right-of-use assets was approximately $2.4 million and lease liability was approximately $2.4 million as presented on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. See Note 8 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

Business Combinations 

The Company recognizes assets acquired (including goodwill and identifiable intangible assets) and liabilities assumed at fair value on the acquisition date. Subsequent changes to the fair value of such assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recognized in earnings, after the expiration of the measurement period, a period not to exceed 12 months from the acquisition date. Acquisition-related expenses and acquisition-related restructuring costs are recognized in earnings in the period in which they are incurred

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. The carrying value of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are annually tested for impairment and more often if there is an indicator of impairment. Company recognized goodwill of $185,000 due to tax benefits that arose from intangible assets acquired in the SensiML acquisition.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the periods benefited. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company's ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The measurement of impairment requires management to estimate future cash flows and the fair value of long-lived assets. No impairment has been recognized to-date.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash represents amounts pledged as cash security related to the use of credit cards.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements:

In August 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board, or FASB, issued ASU, No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This new standard modifies certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. The Company adopted this standard prospectively effective December 30, 2019 with no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles - Goodwill and Other – Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40): Customer’s Accounting for Implementations Costs Incurred in a Cloud Computing Arrangement That is a Service Contract. Under the new standard, implementations costs related to a cloud computing arrangement will be deferred or expensed as incurred, in accordance with the existing internal-use software guidance for similar costs. The new standard also prescribes the balance sheet, income statement and cash flow classification of the capitalized implementation costs and related amortizations expenses. The effective date for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the effective date is fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2021. The Company adopted this standard prospectively effective December 30, 2019 with no impact on the Consolidated Financial Statements.

 

In June 2016, FASB issued ASU No. 2016-13, or ASU 2016-13, "Financial Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments", which requires the measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for financial assets held at amortized cost. ASU 2016-13 replaces the existing incurred loss impairment model with an expected loss model which requires the use of forward-looking information to calculate credit loss estimates. It also eliminates the concept of other-than-temporary impairment and requires credit losses related to certain available-for-sale debt securities to be recorded through an allowance for credit losses rather than as a reduction in the amortized cost basis of the securities. These changes result in earlier recognition of credit losses. The Company adopted ASU 2016-13 using the modified retrospective approach on December 30, 2019 with no impact on the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements.

New accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-2, Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, which removes certain exceptions to the general principles of Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC 740, in order to reduce the cost and complexity of its application. These changes include elimination to the exceptions for (1) Intra-period tax allocation, (2) Deferred tax liabilities related to outside basis differences, and (3) Year-to-date losses in interim periods. This standard is effective from the fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the potential impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

Note 3 — Net Loss Per Share

Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method. In computing diluted net loss per share, the weighted average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and warrants.

For the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, 699,000 and 597,000 shares of common stock, respectively, associated with equity awards and the estimated number of shares to be purchased under the current offering period of the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan were outstanding. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as they were considered anti-dilutive due to the net losses the Company experienced during these periods. Warrants to purchase up to 386,100 shares were issued in connection with May 29, 2018 stock offering were also not included in the diluted loss per share calculation of the three months ended March 29, 2020 as they were also considered anti-dilutive due to the net loss the Company experienced during these periods.

All shares, equity awards, and per share amounts have been adjusted to reflect the 1-for-14 reverse stock split of the Company’s outstanding common stock for all periods presented.

Note 7 — Debt Obligations

Revolving Line of credit

On September 28, 2018, the Company entered into a Loan and Security Agreement or Loan Agreement with Heritage Bank. The Loan Agreement provided for, among other things, the Revolving Facility with aggregate commitments of $9,000,000.

On December 21, 2018, the Company entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, or the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with Heritage Bank to replace in its entirety the Loan Agreement. The Amended and Restated Loan Agreement increased the Revolving Facility from $9,000,000 to $15,000,000. The Amended and Restated Loan Agreement requires the Company to maintain at least $3,000,000 in unrestricted cash at Heritage Bank.

On November 6, 2019 the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement to extend the maturity date of the Revolving Facility for one year through September 28, 2021. Under this amendment, the Revolving Facility advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) one half of one percentage point (0.50%) above the Prime Rate, or (ii) five and one half of one percentage points (5.50%).

As of March 29, 2020 and December 29, 2019, the Company had $15.0 million of revolving debt outstanding with an interest rates of 5.5% per annum. The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement as of the end of the current reporting period.

The Bank has a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company’s tangible and intangible assets to secure any outstanding amounts under the Loan Agreement.

Note 8 — Leases

Note 9 — Fair Value Measurements

Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and its subsequent updates, fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market and assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.

The Company’s cash and cash equivalents include money market account balance of $18.4 million and $20.9 million as of March 29, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively. Fair value of the Company’s money market account balance with Heritage Bank equals to book value.

Note 10 — Stockholders' Equity

There was no intrinsic value for the stock options based on the Company’s closing stock price of $3.04 per share as of March 29, 2020, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was $0. Total cash received from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises during the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019 was $0 and $3,600, respectively. The Company settles employee stock option exercises with newly issued common shares. In connection with these exercises, there was no tax benefit realized by the Company due to the Company's current loss position.

Total stock-based compensation related to stock options was approximately $14,000 and $25,000 for the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. As of March 29, 2020, the fair value of unvested stock options, net of forfeitures, was approximately $24,000. This unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is expected to be recorded over a weighted average period of 0.45 year.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants restricted stock units or RSUs, to employees and directors with various vesting terms. RSUs entitle the holder to receive, at no cost, one common share for each RSU as it vests. In general, the Company's policy is to withhold shares in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of RSUs. The stock-based compensation related to RSUs was approximately $(418,000) and $877,000 for the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. Due to the cancellation of certain performance based RSUs and cancellations relating to restructuring, which was implemented in January 2020, the Company reversed stock-based compensation previously recorded resulting in a credit to the stock based compensation during the quarter ended March 29, 2020. As of March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, there was approximately $2.4 million and $3.2 million, respectively, in unrecognized compensation expense

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

As of March 29, 2020, 62,335 shares remained available for issuance under the 2009 ESPP. For the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense related to the 2009 ESPP of approximately $0 and $49,000, respectively. The weighted average estimated fair value, as defined by the amended authoritative guidance, of rights issued pursuant to the Company's 2009 ESPP during the first quarter ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, was $0 and $.0.31, respectively, per right, respectively.

The fair value of rights issued pursuant to the Company's 2009 ESPP was estimated on the commencement date of each offering period using the following weighted average assumptions:

As of March 29, 2020, there was no unrecognized stock-based compensation expense relating to the Company's 2009 ESPP. ESPP grants were suspended until the extension of the term of 2009 ESPP was ratified by the shareholders in the annual general meeting on April 22, 2020.

Note 13 — Income Taxes

The Company recorded a net income tax expense of approximately $18,000 and benefit of $268,000 for the three months ended March 29, 2020 and March 31, 2019, respectively. A majority of the income tax expense for the first quarter of 2020 relates to the Company's foreign subsidiaries, which are cost-plus entities. A majority of the income tax benefit for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 relates to the deferred tax benefit arising from Intangible assets acquired from the acquisition of SensiML, which was offset by the income taxes from the Company's foreign subsidiaries, which are cost-plus entities.   

The Company believes it is more likely than not that federal and state net deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company’s management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of our deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. A valuation allowance is recorded for loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance against all of U.S. and certain foreign net deferred tax assets as of March 29, 2020. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against net federal, state and certain foreign deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support recoverability of the Company’s deferred tax assets.  

18


 

The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 29, 2020 and December 31, 2019, which would affect the Company's effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate any material changes to its unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months.

Accrued interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits are recognized as part of the income tax provision in the condensed consolidated statements of operations.

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income taxes in many U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The U.S. tax years from 1999 forward remain effectively open to examination due to the carryover of unused net operating losses and tax credits.

Under the Tax Reform Act of 1986, the amount of and the benefit from net operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards may be impaired or limited in certain circumstances. Events which may restrict utilization of a company's net operating loss and credit carryforwards include, but are not limited to, certain ownership change limitations as defined in Internal Revenue Code Section 382 and similar state provisions. In the event the Company has had a change of ownership, utilization of carryforwards could be restricted to an annual limitation. The annual limitation may result in the expiration of net operating loss carryforwards and credit carryforwards before utilization.

The Company has not undertaken a study to determine if its net operating losses are limited. In the event the Company previously experienced an ownership change, or should experience an ownership change in the future, the amount of net operating losses and research and development credit carryovers available in any taxable year could be limited and may expire unutilized.

On March 27, 2020, the “Coronavirus Aid, Relief and Economic Security (“CARES”) Act was signed into law and GAAP requires recognition of the tax effects of new legislation during the reporting period that includes the enacted date. The CARES Act includes provisions relating to refundable payroll tax credits, deferment of the employer portion of certain payroll taxes, net operating loss carryback periods, alternative minimum tax credit refunds, modifications to the net interest deduction limitations and technical corrections to tax depreciation methods for qualified improvement property. The Company is currently analysing the impact of these changes and therefore an estimate of the impact to income taxes is not yet available. The Company will continue to make and refine the calculations as additional analysis is completed.

Overview

We develop low power, multi-core semiconductor platforms and intellectual property, or IP, for artificial intelligence, or AI, voice and sensor processing. The solutions include an eFPGA for hardware acceleration and pre-processing, and heterogeneous multi-core SoCs that integrate eFPGA with other processors and peripherals. The SensiML Analytics Toolkit from wholly owned subsidiary, SensiML Corporation, or SensiML, completes the “full stack” end-to-end solution with accurate sensor algorithms using AI technology. The full range of platforms, software tools and eFPGA IP enables the practical and efficient adoption of AI, voice and sensor processing across mobile, wearable, hearable, consumer, industrial, edge and endpoint IoT applications. 

Our solutions are created from our new silicon platforms including our EOS™, QuickAI™, SensiML Analytics Studio, ArcticLink® III, PolarPro®3, PolarPro II, PolarPro, and Eclipse II products (which together comprise our new product category). Our mature products include primarily FPGA families named pASIC®3 and QuickRAM® as well as programming hardware and design software. In addition to delivering our own semiconductor solutions, we have an IP business that licenses our eFPGA technology for use in other semiconductor companies SoCs. We began delivering our eFPGA IP product ArcticPro™ in 2017, which is included in the new product revenue category. Through our wholly owned subsidiary SensiML, we now have an AI software platform that includes Software-as-a-Service, or SaaS, subscriptions for development, per unit license fees when deployed in production, and proof-of-concept services, all of which are also included in the new product revenue category.

Our solutions typically fall into one of three categories: Sensor Processing, Display and Visual Enhancement, and Smart Connectivity. Our solutions include a unique combination of our silicon platforms, IP cores, software drivers, and in some cases, firmware and application software. All of our silicon platforms are standard devices and must be programmed to be effective in a system. Our IP that enables always-on context-aware sensor applications includes our Flexible Fusion Engine, our Sensor Manager and Communications Manager technologies as well as IP that (i) improves multimedia content, such as our Visual Enhancement Engine, or VEE, technology, and Display Power Optimizer, or DPO, technology; and (ii) implements

22


 

commonly used mobile system interfaces, such as Low Voltage Differential Signalling, or LVDS, Mobile Industry Processor Interface, or MIPI, and Secure Digital Input Output, or SDIO.

We provide complete solutions by first architecting the solution jointly with our customer’s or ecosystem partner’s engineering group, selecting the appropriate solution platform and Proven System Blocks, or PSBs, providing custom logic, integrating the logic, programming the device with the PSBs and/or firmware, providing software drivers or application software required for the customer’s application, and supporting the customer on-site during integration, verification and testing. In many cases, we deliver software algorithms that have been optimized for use in a QuickLogic silicon platform.

Our core IP also includes the SensiML AI Toolkit that enables OEMs to develop AI software for a broad array of resource-constrained time-series sensor endpoint applications. These include a wide range of consumer and industrial sensing applications.

We also work with mobile processor manufacturers, sensor manufacturers, and voice recognition, sensor fusion and context awareness algorithm developers in the development of reference designs. Through reference designs that incorporate our solutions, we believe mobile processor manufacturers, sensor manufacturers, and sensor and voice algorithm companies can expand the available market for their respective products. Furthermore, should a solution developed for a processor manufacturer or sensor and/or sensor algorithm company be applicable to a set of common OEMs or Original Design Manufacturers, or ODMs, we can amortize our Research and Development, or R&D, investment over that set of OEMs or ODMs. There may also be cases when platform providers that intend to use always-on voice recognition will dictate certain performance requirements for the combined software/hardware solution before the platform provider certifies and/or qualifies our product for use by end customers.

Our ArcticPro eFPGA IP is currently developed on 65nm, 40nm and 22nm process nodes. The licensable IP is generated by a compiler tool that enables licensees to create an eFPGA block that they can integrate into their SoC without significant involvement by us. We believe this flow enables a scalable support model for us.

In addition to working directly with our customers, we partner with other companies that are experts in certain technologies to develop additional IP, reference platforms and system software to provide application solutions, particularly in the area of hardware acceleration for AI-type applications. We also work with mobile processor and communications semiconductor device manufacturers and companies that supply sensor, algorithms and applications. The depth of these relationships vary depending on the partner and the dynamics of the end market being targeted, but they are typically a co-marketing relationship that includes joint account calls, promotional activities and/or engineering collaboration and developments, such as reference designs. For our sensor processing solutions, we collaborate with sensor manufacturers to ensure interface compatibility. We also collaborate with sensor and voice/audio software companies, helping them optimize their software technology on our silicon platforms in terms of performance, power consumption and user experience.

For our eFPGA strategy, we work with semiconductor manufacturing partners to ensure our eFPGA IP is proven for a given foundry and process node before it is licensed to an SoC company.

In order to grow our revenue from its current level, we depend upon increased revenue from our new products including existing new product platforms, eFPGA IP and platforms currently in development. We expect our business growth to be driven mainly by our silicon solutions, eFPGA IP and SensiML AI Software. Therefore, our revenue growth needs to be strong enough to enable us to sustain profitability while we continue to invest in the development, sales and marketing of our new solution platforms, IP and software.

During the first quarter of 2020, we generated total revenue of $2.2 million, which represents a decrease of 25% compared to the fourth quarter of 2019 and 32% compared to the first quarter of 2019. Our new product revenue in the first quarter was $486,000, which represents a decrease of 32% from the prior quarter and 29% from the first quarter of 2019. Our mature product revenue was $1.7 million in the first quarter of 2020, which represents a decrease of 23% from the prior quarter and 33% compared to the first quarter of 2019. We expect our mature product revenue to continue to fluctuate over time.

We devote substantially all of our development, sales and marketing efforts to our new sensor processing solutions using our EOSTM S3 platforms, derivative products based on software-driven features, development of additional new products and solution platforms, our new eFPGA IP licensing and QuickAI initiatives. Overall, we reported a net loss of $3.2 million for the first quarter of 2020, a decrease of 9% compared with the first quarter of 2019 and an increase of 3% compared with the fourth quarter of 2019.

COVID-19 Response

 

Our top priority during the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic remains the health and safety of our employees and their families. As global governments institute restrictions on commercial operations, we are working to ensure our compliance while also maintaining business continuity for operations.

 

Our Employees

 

We are in the midst of what is a historic deployment of remote work and digital access to services. Most of our personnel continue to work from home except few personnel, who are required for minimum operations. We only allow employees in our facilities who are essential to the facilities’ operations under best practices guidelines on maintaining physical distancing, utilizing enhanced cleaning protocols and usage of personal protective equipment.

 

Our Customers

 

We are committed to our customers to enable the support they need to continue providing vital services and tools. Our global offices remain operational to meet customer needs during the pandemic in compliance with the orders and restrictions imposed by local authorities in each of our locations, and we are working with our customers to meet their specific shipment needs. While the pandemic has created delays on the inbound supply chain at our partners and our own facilities and both inbound and outbound logistical challenges, we have been able to identify alternative solutions such that none of the issues have had a material impact on our ability to fulfil demand.

 

Liquidity

 

In anticipation of further COVID-19 related disruptions to our business, we have undertaken a comprehensive review of our spending plans and expect to reduce discretionary spending in future periods while maintaining an ongoing focus on key initiatives. Our balance sheet is well positioned and had $19.0 million of cash and cash equivalents as of March 29, 2020, including the draw-down of $15.0 million from revolving credit facility maturing in September 2021. On May 6, 2020 we entered into a loan agreement with Heritage Bank for a loan of $1.2 million pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security Act enacted on March 27 (the “CARES Act”). We are in discussions with our lenders to ensure continued availability of funds in future quarters in the event of a further economic downturn.

 

The extent of the impact of COVID-19 on our operational and financial performance, including our ability to meet the sales targets will depend on future developments, including the duration and spread of the pandemic, restrictions on travel, transportation and other containment measures, our compliance with these measures and the impact on our customers, partners, contract manufacturers and supply chain, all of which are uncertain and cannot be predicted.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic and its potential effects on the Company’s business in its fiscal 2020 remain dynamic, and the broader implications for its business and results of operations remain uncertain. These implications could include further disruptions or restrictions on the Company’s ability to source, manufacture or distribute its products, including temporary disruptions to the facilities of its contract manufacturers in China, Taiwan, Philippines and Singapore, or the facilities of its suppliers and their contract manufacturers globally. Additionally, multiple countries have imposed and may further impose restrictions on business operations and movement of people and products to limit the spread of COVID-19. Delays in production or delivery of components or raw materials that are part of the Company’s global supply chain due to restrictions imposed to limit the spread of COVID-19 could delay or inhibit its ability to obtain the supply of components and finished goods. If COVID-19 becomes more prevalent in the locations where the Company, its customers or suppliers conduct business, or the Company experiences more pronounced disruptions in its operations, the Company may experience constrained supply or curtailed demand that may materially adversely impact its business and results of operations. In addition, any other widespread health crisis that could adversely affect global and regional economies, financial markets and overall demand environment for the Company's products could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, cash flows or results of operations.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial statements. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain.

Based on this definition, our critical policies include revenue recognition, valuation of inventories, including identification of excess quantities and product obsolescence, valuation of investments, valuation of long-lived assets, valuation of goodwill, capitalized internal-use software and related amortizable lives and intangibles related to the acquisition of SensiML, including the estimated useful lives of acquired intangible assets, measurement of stock-based compensation and estimation of accrued liabilities. We believe that we apply judgments and estimates in a consistent manner and that this consistent application results in consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that fairly represent all periods presented. However, any factual errors or errors in these judgments and estimates may have a material impact on our financial statements. During the three months ended March 29, 2020, there were no changes in our critical accounting policies from our disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2020, except for the new accounting standards adopted in the first quarter of 2020 as described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 29, 2020. For a discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates, please see Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 29, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2020. See also Note 2 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended March 29, 2020 for the details of the newly adopted accounting standards.

For all periods presented: New products include all products manufactured on 180 nanometer or smaller semiconductor processes, eFPGA IP license, QuickAI and SensiML AI software as a service (SaaS) revenues. Mature products include all products produced on semiconductor processes larger than 180 nanometer.

25


 

The net decrease of $201,000 in the revenue of new products was primarily due to a decrease in display bridge solutions, which were not fully offset by other new products. The $835,000 decrease in the revenue of mature products was primarily due to lower shipments to our aerospace and avionics customers.

In the first quarter of 2020, gross profit margin percentage was lower by 10% as compared to the same quarter in the prior year. This was primarily due to a decrease of higher gross margin mature products shipments. The sale of previously reserved inventory was $17,000 and $32,000 in the first quarters of 2020 and 2019, respectively.

Our semiconductor products have historically had long product life cycles and obsolescence has not been a significant factor in the valuation of inventories. However, as we continue to pursue opportunities in the mobile market and develop new solutions and products, our product life cycle will be shorter and the risk of obsolescence will increase. In general, our standard manufacturing lead times are longer than the binding forecasts we receive from customers.

Research and Development

Our Research and Development, or R&D, expenses consist primarily of personnel, overhead and other costs associated with System on Chip (SoC) and software development, programmable logic design, AI and eFPGA development. The $1.4 million decrease in R&D expenses in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the first quarter of 2019, was primarily attributable to the decrease of stock based compensation due to cancellation of performance based restricted stock units and the restructuring plan implemented in January 2020.

Selling, General and Administrative Expense

Our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses consist primarily of personnel and related overhead costs for sales, marketing, finance, administration, human resources and general management. The $567,000 decrease in SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2020, as compared to the first quarter of 2019 was primarily attributable to lower compensation costs, including stock-based compensation, due to the restructuring plan implemented in January 2020 and lower outside services costs.

Restructuring

26


 

In January 2020, the Company implemented a restructuring plan to lower annual operating expenses. The restructuring plan was approved by the Company’s Board of Directors on January 24, 2020. Pursuant to the restructuring plan, the Company recorded $479,000 of restructuring charges in the first quarter of fiscal year 2020, consisting primarily of employee severance related costs. The restructuring liabilities are included in the "Accrued Liabilities" line item in the consolidated balance sheet. See Note 17 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details.

The majority of the income tax expense for the quarter ended March 29, 2020 relates to the Company's foreign subsidiaries, which are cost-plus entities. A majority of the income tax benefit for the quarter ended March 31, 2019 relates to the deferred tax benefit arising from Intangible assets acquired from the acquisition of SensiML, which was offset by the income taxes from the Company's foreign subsidiaries, which are cost-plus entities

 

The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income taxes in many U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. The U.S. tax years from 1999 forward remain effectively open to examination due to the carryover of unused net operating losses and tax credits.    

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operating losses and capital investments through sales of common stock, finance leases, a revolving line of credit and cash flows from operations. As of March 29, 2020, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $19.0 million, including $15.0 million line of credit with Heritage Bank.

On September 28, 2018, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, or Loan Agreement, with Heritage Bank. The Loan Agreement provided for, among other things, the Revolving Facility with aggregate commitments of $9,000,000. Pursuant to the Loan Agreement, the Revolving Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to half percentage point (0.50%) above the variable rate of interest, per annum, that appears in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, whether or not such announced rate is the lowest rate available from Heritage Bank.

On December 21, 2018, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, or the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with Heritage Bank to replace in its entirety the Loan Agreement. The Amended and Restated Loan Agreement increased the Revolving Facility from $9,000,000 to $15,000,000. The Amended and Restated Loan Agreement requires us to maintain at least $3,000,000 in unrestricted cash at Heritage Bank. As of March 29, 2020, we had $15.0 million of outstanding revolving line of credit with an interest rate of 5.5%.

27


 

On November 6, 2019, the Company entered into a First Amendment to the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with Heritage Bank to extend the maturity date of the Revolving Facility for one year through September 28, 2021. Under this amendment the Revolving Facility advances shall bear interest, on the outstanding daily balance thereof, at a rate per annum equal to the greater of (i) one half of one percentage point (0.50%) above the Prime Rate, or (ii) five and one half of one percentage points (5.50%). We were in compliance with all loan covenants under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement as of the end of the current reporting period.

In May 2018, we issued an aggregate of 965,251 shares of common stock and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 386,100 shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering at a combined price of $16.10 per unit of common stock and warrant. We received total net proceeds of $13.9 million from the offering. On June 21, 2019, we completed an underwritten public offering of 1.3 million shares of common stock, at a price of $7.00 per share, which included 171,429 shares issued pursuant to the underwriters’ full exercise of their over-allotment option. We received net proceeds from the offering of approximately $8.0 million, net of underwriter’s commission and other offering expenses. See Note 10 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the details.

On May 6, 2020 we entered into a loan agreement with Heritage Bank for a loan of $1.2 million pursuant to the Paycheck Protection Program (the “PPP”) under the CARES Act enacted on March 27, 2020. We are in discussions with our lenders to ensure continued availability of funds in future quarters given the prospect of further economic downturn. The PPP loan helps to fund payroll related expenses, utilities and rent for two months during Covid-19 pandemic.

We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financial resources from the Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditure and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months. The PPP loan obtained in May 2020 can help us to remain in compliance with our debt covenants. See Note 18 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for details.

Over the longer term, we anticipate that the generation of sales from our new and mature product offerings, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from our Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank and our ability to raise additional capital in the public capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy our operations and capital expenditures. Our Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank matures in September 2021, which we plan to renew or find an alternative lender prior to the maturity date. Further, any violations of debt covenants may restrict our access to any additional cash draws from the revolving line of credit, and may require our immediate repayment of the outstanding debt amounts. We believe that we will be able to either renew the Revolving Facility or obtain alternative financing on the acceptable terms. However, we cannot provide any assurance that PPP loan will be forgiven or we cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital, if required, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to us. Our inability to generate sufficient sales from our new product offerings and/or raise additional capital if needed could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition, including our ability to maintain compliance with our lender’s financial covenants.

As of March 29, 2020, most of our cash and cash equivalents were invested in the money market account of Heritage Bank. As of March 29, 2020, our interest-bearing debt consisted of $772,000 outstanding under finance leases and $15.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Facility. See Note 7 and 8 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

Cash balances held at our foreign subsidiaries were approximately $381,000 and $548,000 as of March 29, 2020 and December 29, 2019, respectively. Earnings from our foreign subsidiaries are currently deemed to be indefinitely reinvested. We do not expect such reinvestment to affect our liquidity and capital resources, and we continually evaluate our liquidity needs and ability to meet global cash requirements as a part of our overall capital deployment strategy. Factors that affect our global capital deployment strategy include anticipated cash flows, the ability to repatriate cash in a tax-efficient manner, funding requirements for operations and investment activities, acquisitions and divestitures and capital market conditions.

In summary, our cash flows were as follows (in thousands):

Net cash used in operating activities

For the three months ended March 29, 2020, net cash used in operating activities was $2.2 million, which was primarily due to the net loss of $3.2 million, adjusted for negative non-cash charges of $112,000. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of $398,000 net gain from reversal of stock-based compensation and depreciation and amortization expenses of $265,000. The net gain from the reversal of stock-based compensation was a result of the cancellation of certain performance based RSUs, as established goals required for vesting were not achieved and cancellation of RSUs due to restructuring related terminations. Cash inflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities were $1.1 million, primarily due to decrease of accounts receivable, decrease of inventory and decrease of prepaid assets.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, net cash used in operating activities was $2.9 million, which was primarily due to the net loss of $3.5 million, adjusted for non-cash charges of $1.3 million and cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities of $481,000. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation expense of $951,000, which includes $514,000 related to new employees as a result of the acquisition of SensiML, depreciation and amortization of $292,000 and inventory write-down of $80,000. Cash outflows from changes in operating assets and liabilities were $993,000, which were offset by cash inflows of $512,000. During the first quarter of 2019, we received a tax benefit of $282,000 arising from the intangible assets due to the acquisition of SensiML.

Net cash used in investing activities

For the three months ended March 29, 2020 cash used in investing activities was $290,000, which was primarily attributable to the capitalized internal-use software and capital expenditure relating to leasehold improvements and computer equipment.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 cash used in investing activities was $91,000, which was primarily due to cash used to pay for computer and test equipment associated with software development of $111,000, which was partially offset by cash received as a result of the SensiML acquisition of $20,000.

Net cash used in financing activities

For the three months ended March 29, 2020 cash used in financing activities was $85,000, which was primarily derived from the proceeds of $12.0 million from the Revolving Facility with the Heritage Bank, which was offset by repayments of $12.0 million, scheduled repayments of $60,000 for finance lease obligations and tax payments related to net settlement of stock awards of $25,000.

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, cash used in financing activities was $237,000, which was primarily derived from the proceeds of $12.0 million from the Revolving Facility with the Heritage Bank, which was offset by repayments of $12.0 million, scheduled repayments of $74,000 for finance lease obligations and tax payments related to net settlement of stock awards of $167,000.

________________________

(1)

Certain of our wafer manufacturers require us to forecast wafer starts several months in advance. We are committed to accept the delivery of and pay for a portion of forecasted wafer volume.

 

 

Concentration of Suppliers

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and variable rate debt. We do not use derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk. We are averse to principal loss and ensure the safety and preservation of invested funds by limiting default, market risk and reinvestment risk. Our investment portfolio is generally comprised of investments that meet high credit quality standards and have active secondary and resale markets. Since these securities are subject to interest rate risk, they could decline in value if interest rates fluctuate or if the liquidity of the investment portfolio were to change. Due to the short duration and conservative nature of our investment portfolio, we do not anticipate any material loss with respect to our investment portfolio. A 10% move in interest rates as of the end of the first quarter of 2020 would have had an immaterial effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.

Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk

All of our sales and costs of manufacturing are transacted in U.S. dollars. We conduct a portion of our research and development activities in India and have sales and marketing offices in several locations outside of the United States. We use the U.S. dollar as our functional currency. Most of the costs incurred at these international locations are in local currency. If these local currencies strengthen against the U.S. dollar, our payroll and other local expenses will be higher than we currently anticipate. Since our sales are transacted in U.S. dollars, this negative impact on expenses would not be offset by any positive effect on revenue. Operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies were approximately 24% and 24% of total operating expenses for the first three months of 2020 and 2019, respectively. A currency exchange rate fluctuation of 10% would have caused our operating expenses to change by approximately $101,000 in the first three months of 2020.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on management's evaluation as of March 29, 2020, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and frauds. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

Except as set forth below, there have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our 2019 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 29, 2019, filed with the SEC on March 13, 2020, which includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors at Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, which discussion is hereby incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1A.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic could have a material adverse effect on our business, cash flows and results of operations.

 

On January 30, 2020, the World Health Organization (“WHO”) declared a global emergency due to the COVID-19 pandemic, and on February 28, 2020, the WHO raised its assessment of the threat from high to very high at a global level. The outbreak has resulted in significant governmental measures being implemented to control the spread of COVID-19, including, among others, restrictions on travel, business operations and the movement of people in many regions of the world in which the Company operates, and the imposition of shelter-in-place or similarly restrictive work-from-home orders impacting many of the Company’s offices and employees, including those located in the United States.

 

As a result, the Company has temporarily closed or substantially limited the presence of personnel in its offices in several impacted locations, implemented travel restrictions and withdrawn from various industry events. The impact of the Company’s work-from-home policy that was implemented to protect its global workforce has contributed to delays in certain operational processes, including its routine quarterly financial statement close process for the first quarter of fiscal 2020. The Company has also experienced some disruption and delays in its supply chain, customer deployment plans, and logistics challenges, including certain limitations on its ability to access customer fulfillment and service sites. The Company expects these existing conditions to have an adverse impact on its revenue and results of operations for the second quarter of fiscal 2020 and, possibly, in future quarters during the current fiscal year.

 

The COVID-19 pandemic and its potential effects on the Company’s business in its fiscal 2020 remain dynamic, and the broader implications for its business and results of operations remain uncertain. These implications could include further disruptions or restrictions on the Company’s ability to source, manufacture or distribute its products, including temporary disruptions to the facilities of its contract manufacturers in China, Taiwan, Philippines and Singapore, or the facilities of its suppliers and their contract manufacturers globally. Additionally, multiple countries have imposed and may further impose restrictions on business operations and movement of people and products to limit the spread of COVID-19. Delays in production or delivery of components or raw materials that are part of the Company’s global supply chain due to restrictions imposed to limit the spread of COVID-19 could delay or inhibit its ability to obtain the supply of components and finished goods. If COVID-19 becomes more prevalent in the locations where the Company, its customers or suppliers conduct business, or the Company experiences more pronounced disruptions in its operations, the Company may experience constrained supply or curtailed demand that may materially adversely impact its business and results of operations. In addition, any other widespread health crisis that could adversely affect global and regional economies, financial markets and overall demand environment for the Company's products could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, cash flows or results of operations.

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