Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of Vicor Corporation and its consolidated subsidiaries (collectively, the “Company”) have been prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for interim financial information and pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Accordingly, these interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements.

In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for any other interim period or the year ending December 31, 2022. The balance sheet at December 31, 2021 presented herein has been derived from the audited financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete financial statements. For further information, refer to the consolidated financial statements and notes thereto contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form

10-K

for the year ended December 31, 2021 filed by the Company with the SEC on March 1, 2022 (“2021 Form

10-K”).

Short-Term and Long-Term Investments

As of

June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company held $19,921,000 and $45,215,000, respectively, of short-term investments, consisting of obligations of the U.S. Treasury, all of which were debt securities with original maturities greater than three months but less than one year at the time of purchase.

As of

June 30, 2022 and December 31, 2021, the Company held one auction rate security with a par value of $3,000,000 and an estimated fair value of approximately $2,552,000 and $2,639,000, respectively, purchased through and held in custody by a broker-dealer affiliate of Bank of America, N.A., that has experienced failed auctions (the “Failed Auction Security”) since February 2008. The Failed Auction Security held by the Company is Aaa/AA+ rated by major credit rating agencies, is collateralized by student loans, and is guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education under the Federal Family Education Loan Program. Management is not aware of any reason to believe the issuer of the Failed Auction Security is presently at risk of default. Through June 30, 2022, the Company has continued to receive interest payments on the Failed Auction Security in accordance with the terms of its indenture. Management believes the Company ultimately should be able to liquidate the Failed Auction Security without significant loss primarily due to the overall quality of the issue held and the collateral securing the substantial majority of the underlying obligation. However, current conditions in the auction rate securities market have led management to conclude the recovery period for the Failed Auction Security exceeds 12 months. As a result, the Company continued to classify the Failed Auction Security as long-term as of June 30, 2022.

Fair Value Measurements

The Company

accounts for certain financial assets at fair value, defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability (i.e., an exit price) in the principal or most advantageous market for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants on the measurement date. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. A three-level hierarchy is used to show the extent and level of judgment used to estimate fair value measurements.

Income Taxes

The provision for income taxes is based on the estimated annual effective tax rate for the year, which includes estimated federal, state and foreign income taxes on the Company’s projected

pre-tax

income.

The provision for income taxes and the effective income tax rates were as follows (dollars in thousands):


	Three Months Ended June 30,						Six Months Ended June 30,
	2022			2021			2022			2021
Provision for income taxes	$	802		$	999		$	754		$	856
Effective income tax rate		7.0	%		4.9	%		4.6	%		2.4	%

The effective tax rates were lower than the statutory tax rates for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily due to the Company’s full valuation allowance position against domestic deferred tax assets. The provision for income taxes for the three and six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 included estimated federal, state and foreign income taxes in jurisdictions in which the Company does not have sufficient tax attributes, offset by excess tax benefits related to stock based compensation during those periods.

As of June 30

, 2022, the Company has a valuation allowance of approximately $43,329,000

against all net domestic deferred tax assets, for which realization cannot be considered more likely than not at this time. Management assesses the need for the valuation allowance on a quarterly basis. In assessing the need for a valuation allowance, the Company considers all positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and past financial performance. Despite recent positive operating results, the Company is in a cumulative loss position as of June 30, 2022, primarily due to tax deductions on 2020 and 2021 exercises of stock-based compensation. The Company faces uncertainties in forecasting its operating results due to supply and factory capacity constraints, certain process issues with the production of Advanced Products and the unpredictability in certain markets. This operating uncertainty also makes it difficult to predict the availability and utilization of tax benefits over the next several years. As a result, management has concluded, as of June 30, 2022, it is more likely than not the Company’s net domestic deferred tax assets will not be realized, and a full valuation allowance against all net domestic deferred tax assets is still warranted as of June 30, 2022. The valuation allowance against these deferred tax assets may require adjustment in the future based on changes in the mix of temporary differences, changes in tax laws, and operating performance. If the positive operating results continue, and the Company’s concerns about industry uncertainty and world events, supply and factory capacity constraints, and process issues with the production of Advanced Products are resolved, and the amount of tax benefits the Company is able to utilize to the point that the Company believes future taxable income can be more reliably forecasted, the Company may release all or a portion of the valuation allowance in the near-term. If and when the Company determines the valuation allowance should be released (i.e., reduced), the adjustment would result in a tax benefit reported in that period’s Consolidated Statements of Operations, the effect of which would be an increase in reported net income.

The Company was informed in September 2021 by the Internal Revenue Service of their intention to examine the Company’s 2019 Federal income tax return. There are no other audits or examinations in process in any other jurisdiction.

Commitments and Contingencies

June 30, 2022, the Company had approximately $32,034,000 of cancelable and

non-cancelable

capital expenditure commitments, principally for manufacturing equipment, and approximately $10,640,000 of capital expenditure items which had been received and included in Property, plant and equipment in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but not yet paid for.

The Company

is the defendant in a patent infringement lawsuit originally filed on January 28, 2011 by SynQor, Inc. (“SynQor”) in the U.S. District Court (the “District Court”) for the Eastern District of Texas (the “Texas Action”). The complaint, as amended, alleges that the Company’s products, including but not limited to, unregulated bus converters used in intermediate bus architecture power supply systems, infringe SynQor’s U.S. patent numbers 7,072,190, 7,272,021, 7,564,702, and 8,023,290 (“the ‘190 patent”, “the ‘021 patent”, “the ‘702 patent”, and “the ‘290 patent”, respectively). SynQor’s complaint seeks an injunction against further infringement and an award of unspecified compensatory and enhanced damages, interest, costs and attorney fees. However, because each of the asserted SynQor patents has expired, an injunction is no longer available as relief should SynQor prevail in the Texas Action. The Company has denied that its products infringe any of the SynQor patents, and has asserted that the SynQor patents are invalid and/or unenforceable. The Company has also asserted counterclaims seeking damages from SynQor for deceptive trade practices and tortious interference with prospective economic advantage arising from SynQor’s attempted enforcement of its patents against the Company.

On November 24, 2015, the District Court ordered the Texas Action stayed pending completion of certain inter partes reexamination (“IPRx”) proceedings initiated by the Company at the United States Patent and Trademark Office (“USPTO”). In these IPRx proceedings, the Company challenged the validity of the SynQor patent claims asserted in the Texas Action. On November 16, 2021, the District Court issued an order lifting the stay. At a hearing on February 2, 2022, the District Court issued an order denying all pending summary judgment and other

pre-trial

motions without prejudice. The District Court further authorized the Company to file new motions for summary judgment, to be considered on an expedited schedule. The Company filed a motion for summary judgment of

non-infringement

on February 4, 2022. On May 25, 2022, a magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation recommending that the Company’s motion be denied. On June 8, 2022, the Company filed objections to that report and recommendation. The District Court has not yet ruled on those objections.

On March 1, 2022, the Company also filed a motion for involuntary dismissal of the ‘290 patent from the case. On May 25, 2022, a magistrate judge issued a report and recommendation recommending that the Company’s motion be granted. On June 8, 2022, SynQor filed objections to that report and recommendation. The District Court has not yet ruled on those objections. On April 5, 2022, the Court entered a scheduling order setting a trial date of October 17, 2022.

The current status of the IPRx proceedings and related appeals is as follows:

•

‘190 patent: Certain claims of the ‘190 patent were found unpatentable by the United States Court of Appeals for the Federal Circuit (“Federal Circuit”) in a decision issued on March 13, 2015. The court remanded the remaining claims to the USPTO for further consideration. On February 20, 2019, the Patent Trial and Appeal Board (“PTAB”) of the USPTO issued a decision finding that all of the remaining challenged claims were unpatentable. SynQor appealed that decision. On February 22, 2021, the Federal Circuit issued a decision in that appeal. In a

2-1

ruling, the Federal Circuit vacated and remanded the PTAB’s decision, finding that the reasoning the PTAB had relied on in reaching its decision was precluded by certain prior PTAB rulings regarding the ‘290 and ‘702 patents and remanded the case to the PTAB for further proceedings. On April 7, 2021, the Company filed a petition for panel rehearing and rehearing en banc of the Federal Circuit’s February 22, 2021 decision. The Federal Circuit denied that petition on June 7, 2021. Accordingly, the matter was then remanded to the PTAB for further proceedings. On January 31, 2022, the PTAB issued a decision that reaffirmed the unpatentability of the claims of the ‘190 patent that had been found unpatentable by the Federal Circuit in its March 13, 2015 decision, and otherwise upheld the patentability of the remaining challenged claims of the ‘190 patent. On March 30, 2022, the Company filed an appeal of this decision to the Federal Circuit, where it remains pending.

•

‘021 patent: On August 30, 2017, the Federal Circuit issued a final decision upholding a PTAB decision finding all of the asserted claims of the ‘021 patent unpatentable. In addition, SynQor attempted to amend the ‘021 patent to add new claims during the IPRx. Those claims were rejected by the PTAB. SynQor subsequently filed an appeal with the Federal Circuit seeking to vacate that rejection as moot, in view of the expiry of the term of the ‘021 patent. On June 17, 2022, the Federal Circuit issued a decision vacating the PTAB’s rejection as moot.

•

‘702 patent: On August 30, 2017, the Federal Circuit issued a final decision upholding a PTAB decision finding all of the asserted claims of the ‘702 patent to be patentable.

•

‘290 patent: On June 16, 2021, the PTAB issued a decision finding all of the claims of the ‘290 patent unpatentable. SynQor has filed an appeal of that decision to the Federal Circuit, where it remains pending.

On January 23, 2018, the

20-year

terms of the ‘190 patent, the ‘021 patent, the ‘702 patent and the ‘290 patent expired. As a consequence of these expirations, the Company cannot be liable under any of the SynQor patents for allegedly infringing activities occurring after that date. In addition, any amended claims that may issue as a result of any of the still-pending IPRx proceedings will have no effective term and cannot be the basis for any liability by the Company. As noted above, the IPRx proceedings relating to the asserted claims of the ‘190 and ‘290 patents remain pending before the PTAB or on appeal at the Federal Circuit.

The Company continues to believe none of its products, including its unregulated bus converters, infringe any valid claim of the asserted SynQor patents, either alone or when used in an intermediate bus architecture implementation. The Company believes SynQor’s claims lack merit and, therefore, it continues to vigorously defend itself against SynQor’s patent infringement allegations. The Company does not believe a loss is probable for this matter. If a loss were to be incurred, however, the Company cannot estimate the amount of possible loss or range of possible loss at this time.

In addition to the SynQor matter, the Company is involved in certain other litigation and claims incidental to the conduct of its business. While the outcome of lawsuits and claims against the Company cannot be predicted with certainty, management does not expect any current litigation or claims will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial position or results of operations.

Management’s Discussion and Analysis of

Financial Condition and Results of Operation

June 30, 2022

Overview

We design, develop, manufacture, and market modular power components and power systems for converting electrical power for use in electrically-powered devices. Our competitive position is supported by innovations in product design and achievements in product performance, largely enabled by our focus on the research and development of advanced technologies and processes, often implemented in proprietary semiconductor circuitry, materials, and packaging. Many of our products incorporate patented or proprietary implementations of high-frequency switching topologies enabling power system solutions that are more efficient and much smaller than conventional alternatives. Our strategy emphasizes demonstrable product differentiation and a value proposition based on competitively superior solution performance, advantageous design flexibility, and a compelling total cost of ownership. While we offer a wide range of alternating current (“AC”) and direct current (“DC”) power conversion products, we consider our core competencies to be associated with 48V DC distribution, which offers numerous inherent cost and performance advantages over lower distribution voltages. However, we also offer products addressing other DC voltage standards (e.g., 380V for power distribution in data centers, 110V for rail applications, 28V for military and avionics applications, and 24V for industrial automation).

Based on design, performance, and form factor considerations, as well as the range of evolving applications for which our products are appropriate, we categorize our product portfolios as either “Advanced Products” or “Brick Products.” The Advanced Products category consists of our more recently introduced products, which are largely used to implement our proprietary Factorized Power Architecture

™

(“FPA”), an innovative power distribution architecture enabling flexible, rapid power system design using individual components optimized to perform a specific conversion function.

The Brick Products category largely consists of our broad and well-established families of integrated power converters, incorporating multiple conversion stages, used in conventional power systems architectures. Given the growth profiles of the markets we serve with our Advanced Products line and our Brick Products line, our strategy involves a transition in organizational focus, emphasizing investment in our Advanced Products line and targeting high growth market segments with a

low-mix,

high-volume operational model, while maintaining a profitable business in the mature market segments we serve with our Brick Products line with a

high-mix,

low-volume

operational model.

The applications in which our Advanced Products and Brick Products are used are typically in the higher-performance, higher-power segments of the market segments we serve. With our Advanced Products, we generally serve large Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”), Original Design Manufacturers (“ODMs”), and their contract manufacturers, with sales currently concentrated in the data center and hyperscaler segments of enterprise computing, in which our products are used for voltage distribution on server motherboards, in server racks, and across datacenter infrastructure. We have established a leadership position in the emerging market segment for powering high-performance processors used for acceleration of applications associated with artificial intelligence (“AI”). Our customers in the AI market segment include the leading innovators in processor and accelerator design, as well as early adopters in cloud computing and high performance computing. We also target applications in aerospace and aviation, defense electronics, industrial automation, instrumentation, test equipment, solid state lighting, telecommunications and networking infrastructure, and vehicles (notably in the autonomous driving, electric vehicle, and hybrid vehicle niches of the vehicle segment). With our Brick Products, we generally serve a fragmented base of large and small customers, concentrated in aerospace and defense electronics, industrial automation, industrial equipment, instrumentation and test equipment, and transportation (notably in rail and heavy equipment applications). With our strategic emphasis on larger, high-volume customers, we expect to experience over time a greater concentration of sales among relatively fewer customers.

Our quarterly consolidated operating results can be difficult to forecast and have been subject to significant fluctuations. We plan our production and inventory levels based on management’s estimates of customer demand, customer forecasts, and other information sources. Customer forecasts, particularly those of OEM, ODM, and contract manufacturing customers to which we supply Advanced Products in high volumes, are subject to scheduling changes on short notice, contributing to operating inefficiencies and excess costs. In addition, external factors such as supply chain uncertainties, which are often associated with the cyclicality of the electronics industry, regional macroeconomic and trade-related circumstances, and

force majeure

events (most recently evidenced by the

COVID-19

pandemic), have caused our operating results to vary meaningfully. Our quarterly gross margin as a percentage of net revenues may vary, depending on production volumes, average selling prices, average unit costs, the mix of products sold during that quarter, and the level of importation of raw materials subject to tariffs. Our quarterly operating margin as a percentage of net revenues also may vary with changes in revenue and product level profitability, but our operating costs are largely associated with compensation and related employee costs, which are not subject to sudden or significant changes.

Ongoing / Potential Impacts of the

COVID-19

Pandemic on the Company

As of the date of this report, the number of Company employees diagnosed with

COVID-19

and the corresponding absenteeism due to

COVID-19

are negligible. While the productivity of our factory is not currently impacted by

COVID-19,

productivity may be reduced if quarantine rates increase or if the number of employees diagnosed with

COVID-19

requires further implementation of restrictive health and safety measures, including factory closure. We continue to operate with three shifts in our factory, and, with few exceptions, our engineering, sales, and administrative personnel are working from the Company’s offices.

We are closely monitoring the operating performance and financial health of our customers, business partners, and suppliers, but an extended period of operational constraints brought about by the pandemic could cause financial hardship within our customer base and supply chain. Such hardship may continue to disrupt customer demand and limit our customers’ ability to meet their obligations to us. Similarly, such hardship within our supply chain could continue to restrict our access to raw materials or services. Additionally, restrictions or disruptions of transportation, such as reduced availability of cargo transport by ship or air, could result in higher costs and inbound and outbound delays. We have taken steps to address certain supply chain risks, and we believe our actions have mitigated those risks to date; however, there are no assurances that those steps will continue to mitigate risks in the remainder of 2022 and beyond.

Although there is uncertainty regarding the extent to which the pandemic will continue to impact our operational and financial results in the future, the Company’s high level of liquidity, flexible operational model, existing raw material inventories, and increased use of second sources for critical manufacturing inputs together support management’s belief the Company will be able to effectively conduct business until the pandemic passes.

We are monitoring the rapidly changing circumstances, and may take additional actions to address

COVID-19

risks as they evolve. Because much of the potential negative impact of the pandemic is associated with risks outside of our control, we cannot estimate the extent of such impact on our financial or operational performance, or when such impact might occur.

Summary of Second Quarter 2022 Financial Performance Compared to First Quarter 2022 Financial Performance

The following summarizes our financial performance for the second quarter of 2022, compared to the first quarter of 2022:

•

Net revenues increased 15.7% to $102,186,000 for the second quarter of 2022, from $88,282,000 for the first quarter of 2022. Net revenues for Brick Products decreased 2.4% compared to the first quarter of 2022, primarily due to market conditions in Europe and in the Asia Pacific region. Advanced Products revenue rose 27.8% sequentially compared to the first quarter of 2022. This growth, though, continued to be constrained by limited component availability due to global semiconductor supply allocation issues experienced during the quarter, along with certain internal processing and testing constraints.

•

Export sales represented approximately 69.2% of total net revenues in the second quarter of 2022 as compared to 72.0% in the first quarter of 2022.

•

Gross margin increased to $46,849,000 for the second quarter of 2022 from $37,601,000 for the first quarter of 2022, and gross margin, as a percentage of net revenues, increased to 45.8% for the second quarter of 2022 from 42.6% for the first quarter of 2022. Both the increase in gross margin dollars and gross margin percentage were primarily due to the increase in net revenues and improved absorption of fixed costs due to increased volumes.

•

Backlog, which represents the total value of orders for products for which shipment is scheduled within the next 12 months, was approximately $410,015,000 at the end of the second quarter of 2022, as compared to $423,738,000 at the end of the first quarter of 2022. The decrease in backlog was primarily due to an increase in net revenues combined with a decline in bookings during the quarter as a result of securing bookings in prior quarters that now form a large part of our backlog.

•

Operating expenses for the second quarter of 2022 increased $2,730,000, or 8.3%, to $35,551,000 from $32,821,000 for the first quarter of 2022. Selling, general, and administrative expenses increased approximately $1,467,000, primarily due to increases in legal fees and compensation expense. Research and development expenses increased approximately $1,263,000, primarily due to increases in project and

pre-production

materials and compensation expense.

•

We reported net income for the second quarter of 2022 of $10,593,000, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to net income of $4,999,000, or $0.11 per diluted share, for the first quarter of 2022.

•

For the second quarter of 2022, depreciation and amortization totaled $3,369,000 and capital additions totaled $14,195,000 as compared to depreciation and amortization of $3,296,000 and capital additions of $22,683,000 for the first quarter of 2022.

•

Inventories increased by approximately $9,194,000, or 12.4%, to $83,055,000 at June 30, 2022, compared to $73,861,000 at March 31, 2022, primarily consisting of raw materials, to support higher planned revenues later in the year.

Three Months Ended June 30, 2022 Compared to Three Months Ended June 30, 2021

Net revenues for the second quarter of 2022 were $102,186,000, an increase of $6,810,000, or 7.1%, as compared to $95,376,000 for the second quarter of 2021. Net revenues, by product line, for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (dollars in thousands):


					Increase (decrease)
	2022		2021		$		%
Brick Products	$	34,523	$	54,352	$	(19,829)		(36.5	)%
Advanced Products		67,663		41,024		26,639		64.9	%

Total	$	102,186	$	95,376	$	6,810		7.1	%

The increase in net revenues for Advanced Products was primarily the result of growth in the data center and high performance computing business. The decrease in net revenues for Brick Products was primarily due to unfavorable market conditions in Europe and the Asia Pacific region.

Gross margin for the second quarter of 2022 decreased $3,022,000, or 6.1%, to $46,849,000, from $49,871,000 for the second quarter of 2021. Gross margin, as a percentage of net revenues, decreased to 45.8% for the second quarter of 2022, compared to 52.3% for the second quarter of 2021. The decrease in gross margin dollars and gross margin percentage was primarily due to unfavorable changes in product mix, a negative impact from production inefficiencies associated with initial production volumes of new products, and certain supply chain cost increases.

The provision for income taxes and the effective income tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (dollars in thousands):


	2022			2021
Provision for income taxes	$	802		$	999
Effective income tax rate		7.0	%		4.9	%

The effective tax rates were lower than the statutory tax rates for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily due to the Company’s full valuation allowance position against domestic deferred tax assets. The provision for income taxes for the three months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 included estimated federal, state and foreign income taxes in jurisdictions in which the Company does not have sufficient tax attributes, offset by excess tax benefits related to stock based compensation during those periods.

See Note 8 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for disclosure regarding our current assessment of the valuation allowance against all domestic deferred tax assets, and the possible release (i.e., reduction) of the allowance in the future.

We reported net income for the second quarter of 2022 of $10,593,000, or $0.24 per diluted share, compared to $19,394,000, or $0.43 per diluted share, for the second quarter of 2021.

Income before income taxes was $16,324,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2022, as compared to $35,334,000 for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

The provision for income taxes and the effective income tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 were as follows (dollars in thousands):

Effective income tax rate		4.6	%		2.4	%

The effective tax rates were lower than the statutory tax rates for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 primarily due to the Company’s full valuation allowance position against domestic deferred tax assets. The provision for income taxes for the six months ended June 30, 2022 and 2021 included estimated federal, state and foreign income taxes in jurisdictions in which the Company does not have sufficient tax attributes, offset by excess tax benefits related to stock based compensation during those periods.

We reported net income for the six months ended June 30, 2022 of $15,592,000, or $0.35 per diluted share, as compared to $34,486,000, or $0.77 per diluted share, for the six months ended June 30, 2021.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of June 30, 2022, we had $187,677,000 in cash and cash equivalents and $19,921,000 of highly liquid short-term investments.

The primary sources of cash for the six months ended June 30, 2022 were $25,000,000 from the sale or maturities of short-term investments, $15,408,000 generated from operations, and $1,974,000 received in connection with the exercise of options to purchase our Common Stock awarded under our stock option plans and the issuance of Common Stock under our 2017 Employee Stock Purchase Plan. The primary uses of cash during the six months ended June 30, 2022 were for the purchase of property and equipment of $36,878,000.

In November 2000, our Board of Directors authorized the repurchase of up to $30,000,000 of our Common Stock (the “November 2000 Plan”). The November 2000 Plan authorizes us to make such repurchases from time to time in the open market or through privately negotiated transactions. The timing and amounts of Common Stock repurchases are at the discretion of management based on its view of economic and financial market conditions. We did not repurchase shares of Common Stock under the November 2000 Plan during the six months ended June 30, 2022. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $8,541,000 remaining available for repurchases of our Common Stock under the November 2000 Plan.

As of June 30, 2022, we had a total of approximately $32,034,000 of cancelable and

non-cancelable

capital expenditure commitments, principally for manufacturing and production equipment, which we intend to fund with existing cash, and approximately $10,640,000 of capital expenditure items which had been received and included in Property, plant and equipment in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, but not yet paid for. As of June 30, 2022, we had approximately $15,661,000 of remaining capital expenditures expected to be incurred through the remainder of 2022 associated with the construction of a 90,000 sq. ft. addition to the Company’s existing manufacturing facility and the installation of new manufacturing and production equipment. Our primary needs for liquidity are for making continuing investments in manufacturing and production equipment and for funding the construction of the additional manufacturing space adjoining our existing Andover manufacturing facility (as described above), including architectural and construction costs. We believe cash generated from operations together with our available cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments will be sufficient to fund planned operational needs, capital equipment purchases, and the planned construction, for the foreseeable future.

We do not consider the impact of inflation and changing prices on our business activities or fluctuations in the exchange rates for foreign currency transactions to have been significant during the last three fiscal years.

Item	3 — Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

We are exposed to a variety of market risks, including changes in interest rates affecting the return on our cash and cash equivalents, our short-term investments and fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates. As our cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments consist principally of cash accounts, money market securities, and U.S. Treasury securities, which are short-term in nature, we believe our exposure to market risk on interest rate fluctuations for these investments is not significant. As of June 30, 2022, our long-term investment portfolio, recorded on our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet as “Long-term investment, net”, consisted of a single auction rate security with a par value of $3,000,000, purchased through and held in custody by a broker-dealer affiliate of Bank of America, N.A., that has experienced failed auctions (the “Failed Auction Security”) since February 2008. While the Failed Auction Security is Aaa/AA+ rated by major credit rating agencies, collateralized by student loans and guaranteed by the U.S. Department of Education under the Federal Family Education Loan Program, continued failure to sell at its periodic auction dates (i.e., reset dates) could negatively impact the carrying value of the investment, in turn leading to impairment charges in future periods. Periodic changes in the fair value of the Failed Auction Security attributable to credit loss (i.e., risk of the issuer’s default) are recorded through earnings as a component of “Other income (expense), net”, with the remainder of any periodic change in fair value not related to credit loss (i.e., temporary

“mark-to-market”

carrying value adjustments) recorded in “Accumulated other comprehensive loss”, a component of Stockholders’ Equity. Should we conclude a decline in the fair value of the Failed Auction Security is other than temporary, such losses would be recorded through earnings as a component of “Other income (expense), net”. We do not believe there was an “other-than-temporary” decline in value in this security as of June 30, 2022.

Our exposure to market risk for fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates relates to the operations of VJCL, for which the functional currency is the Japanese Yen, and changes in the relative value of the Yen to the U.S. Dollar. The functional currency of all other subsidiaries in Europe and other subsidiaries in Asia is the U.S. Dollar. While we believe the risk of fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates for these subsidiaries is generally not significant, they can be subject to substantial currency changes, and therefore foreign exchange exposures.

Item	4 — Controls and Procedures

(a) Disclosure regarding controls and procedures.

As required by

Rule 13a-15

under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), management, with the participation of our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) (who is our principal executive officer) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”) (who is our principal financial officer), conducted an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the last fiscal quarter (i.e., June 30, 2022). The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in

Rules 13a-15(e)

and

15d-15(e)

under the Exchange Act, means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that it files or submits under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports it files or submits under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to the company’s management, including its principal executive and principal financial officers, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. Management recognizes any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of June 30, 2022, our CEO and CFO concluded, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level.

A control system, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. Accordingly, management, including the CEO and CFO, recognizes our disclosure controls or our internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. The design of a control system must reflect the fact there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision-making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Controls can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based in part on 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. Projections of any control’s effectiveness to future periods are subject to risks. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

(b) Changes in internal control over financial reporting.

There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 30, 2022, that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
