NOTES TO CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(Unaudited)
NOTE 1—BUSINESS AND BASIS OF PRESENTATION
Business— Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. was incorporated in the State of California in 2003 as Pera Networks, Inc. In 2005, Pera Networks, Inc. changed its name to Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. and commenced its current operations. In June 2010, Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. was re-incorporated in Delaware.
Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “Ubiquiti” or the “Company”) develop high performance networking technology for service providers and enterprises.
The Company operates on a fiscal year ending June 30. In this Quarterly Report, the fiscal year ending June 30, 2017 is referred to as “fiscal 2017” and the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016 is referred to as “fiscal 2016.”
Basis of Presentation— The accompanying consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”) related to interim financial statements based on applicable Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) rules and regulations. Accordingly, they do not include all the information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for complete financial statements. These consolidated financial statements reflect all adjustments, which are, in the opinion of the Company, of a normal and recurring nature and those necessary to state fairly the statements of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the dates and periods presented. The June 30, 2016 balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date. All significant intercompany transactions and balances have been eliminated. The Company has reclassified certain amounts reported in the previous period to conform to the current period presentation.
These consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2016, included in its Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on August 22, 2016 (the “Annual Report”). The results of operations for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results to be expected for any future periods.
NOTE 2—SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES
The Company’s significant accounting policies are disclosed in its audited consolidated financial statements for the year ended June 30, 2016 included in the Annual Report. Except as noted below, there have been no changes to the Company’s significant accounting policies as discussed in the Annual Report.
New Accounting Updates Recently Adopted
Effective July 1, 2016, the Company adopted Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) 2015-03 regarding simplifying the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires that debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability be presented in the balance sheet as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt liability, consistent with debt discounts. Previously the Company reported these costs as assets on its balance sheet. The guidance is applied on a retrospective basis whereby prior-period financial statements must be adjusted to reflect the adoption of the new guidance.
The Company has reclassified $0.3 million from "prepaid expenses and other current assets" to "Debt - short-term", and $0.7 million from "Other long-term assets" to "Debt - long-term" on the June 30, 2016 consolidated balance sheet.
Effective July 1, 2016, the Company adopted ASU 2015-11 regarding simplifying the measurement of inventory. The guidance requires an entity to measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The Company adopted this update prospectively, and it did not have a material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Effective July 1, 2016, the Company early adopted ASU 2016-09,"Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718), Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting," regarding the Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. The Company applied the guidance relating to accounting for excess tax benefits and the presentation of excess tax benefits in the consolidated statement of cash flows on a prospective basis; accordingly, prior period amounts have not been adjusted. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized the excess tax benefits of $0.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively, within the provision for income taxes rather than additional paid-in capital. The Company classified the excess tax benefits within cash flows from operating activities for the nine months ended March 31,

2017 rather than within cash flows from financing activities. In regards to the forfeiture policy election, we will continue to estimate the number of awards expected to be forfeited, rather than electing to account for forfeitures as they occur. No other terms of the adopted guidance resulted in an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements.
Recent Accounting Standards or Updates Not Yet Effective
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, with amendments in 2015 and 2016, which creates new ASC Topic 606 (Topic 606) that will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. Topic 606 requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitled for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The new standard will be effective for the Company’s first quarter of fiscal year 2019 and early application for the Company's first quarter of fiscal year 2018 is permitted. Topic 606 may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or with the cumulative effect recognized as of the date of initial application. The Company is still evaluating the impact of adopting Topic 606 on its consolidated financial statements and related financial statement disclosures and has not yet selected a transition method or determined if it will adopt this standard in fiscal 2018 or 2019.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842),” (“ASU 2016-02”). ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize assets and liabilities on the balance sheet for leases with lease terms greater than twelve months and disclose key information about leasing arrangements. ASU 2016-02 is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years, with early application permitted. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In June 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-13, “Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses On Financial Instruments,” (“ASU 2016-13”). ASU 2016-13 implements a comprehensive change in estimating the allowances for loan losses from the current model of losses inherent in the loan portfolio to a current expected credit loss model that generally is expected to result in earlier recognition of allowances for losses. Additionally, purchase accounting rules have been modified as well as credit losses on held-to-maturity debt securities. ASU 2016-13 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019, and early adoption is permitted for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2018. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16, "Income Taxes (Topic 740): Accounting for Income Taxes: Intra-Entity Asset Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory," (“ASU 2016-16”). ASU 2016-16 eliminates the exception for all intra-entity sales of assets other than inventory. As a result, a reporting entity would recognize the tax expense from the sale of the asset in the seller’s tax jurisdiction when the transfer occurs, even though the pre-tax effects of that transaction are eliminated in consolidation. Any deferred tax asset that arises in the buyer’s jurisdiction would also be recognized at the time of the transfer. ASU 2016-16 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and early adoption is permitted but can only be adopted in the first interim period of a fiscal year. The Company is evaluating the impact that adoption of this new standard will have on its consolidated financial statements.
NOTE 3—FAIR VALUE OF FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS
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. As such, fair value is a market-based measurement that should be determined based on assumptions that market participants would use in pricing an asset or liability. The accounting guidance establishes a three-tier fair value hierarchy that requires the Company to use observable market data, when available, and to minimize the use of unobservable inputs when determining fair value. The fair value hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three levels that may be used in measuring fair value as follows:
Level 1—observable inputs which include quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
Level 2—inputs which include observable inputs other than Level 1, such as quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, or other inputs that are observable or can be corroborated by observable market data for substantially the full term of the asset or liability.
Level 3—inputs which include unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the underlying asset or liability. Level 3 assets and liabilities include those whose fair value measurements are

determined using pricing models, discounted cash flow methodologies or similar valuation techniques, as well as significant management judgment or estimation.
For certain of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and other current liabilities, the carrying amounts approximate fair value due to their short maturities. Additionally, as of March 31, 2017, we held $511.8 million of our $533.9 million of cash and cash equivalents in accounts of our subsidiaries outside of the United States and we could incur material tax liabilities if we were to repatriate those amounts.
As of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016 the Company had debt associated with its Credit Agreement with Wells Fargo Bank (See Note 7). The fair value of the Company’s debt was estimated based on the current rates offered to the Company for debt with similar terms and remaining maturities and was a Level 2 measurement.
As of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, the fair value hierarchy of the Company’s debt carried at historical cost was as follows (in thousands):

| March 31, 2017 |  | June 30, 2016
| Fair Value |  | Fair Value
Debt | $ | 226,000 |  |  | $ | 203,500 |

(1) Effective July 1, 2016, the Company early adopted ASU 2016-09 regarding the Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. During the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, the adoption increased the number of diluted stock options and restricted stock units by 635 thousand and 689 thousand shares, respectively.

NOTE 6—ACCRUED WARRANTY
The Company offers warranties on certain products and records a liability for the estimated future costs associated with potential warranty claims. The warranty costs are reflected in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations and comprehensive income within cost of revenues. The warranties are typically in effect for twelve months from the distributor’s purchase date of the product. The Company’s estimate of future warranty costs is largely based on historical factors including product failure rates, material usage, and service delivery cost incurred in replacing products. In certain circumstances, the Company may have recourse from its contract manufacturers for replacement cost of defective products, which it also factors into its warranty liability assessment.

The Credit Agreement, matures on March 3, 2020. The Facilities replaced the Company’s $150.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility under its prior credit agreement. The $100.0 million term loan facility of the Credit Agreement was fully drawn at closing of the Credit Agreement, and $72.3 million was used to repay the outstanding balance under its prior credit agreement. The Facilities are available for working capital and general corporate purposes that comply with the terms of the Credit Agreement.

3, 2020, at which time all amounts borrowed must be repaid. The term loan is payable in quarterly installments of 2.50% of the original principal amount of the term loan until March 31, 2017, thereafter increasing to 3.75% of the original principal amount of the term loan, in each case plus accrued and unpaid interest. Revolving, swingline and term loans may be prepaid at any time without penalty.
Revolving and term loans bear interest, at the Company’s option, at either (i) a floating rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of between 0.50% and 1.25%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter or (ii) a floating per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR rate for a specified period, plus a margin of between 1.50% and 2.25%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. Swingline loans bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of between 0.50% and 1.25%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter.
The Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain during the term of the Facilities (i) a maximum leverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00 and (ii) minimum liquidity of $225.0 million, increasing to $250.0 million in the event of an incremental increase in the size of the Facilities, which can be satisfied with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and up to $50.0 million of availability under the Revolving Facility. In addition, the Credit Agreement contains customary affirmative and negative covenants and includes customary events of default. The occurrence of an event of default could result in the acceleration of the obligations under the Credit Agreement.
The obligations of Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. and certain domestic subsidiaries, if any, under the Credit Agreement are required to be guaranteed by such domestic subsidiaries (the “Domestic Guarantors”) and are collateralized by substantially all assets (excluding intellectual property) of Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. and the Domestic Guarantors.

Table of Contents
Certain facilities and equipment are leased under non-cancelable operating leases. The Company generally pays taxes, insurance and maintenance costs on leased facilities and equipment. The Company leases its headquarters in San Jose, California and other locations under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through fiscal 2022.
At March 31, 2017, future minimum annual payments under operating leases for the remainder of fiscal 2017 and future fiscal years are as follows (in thousands):

| 2017 (remainder) |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | Thereafter |  | Total

Purchase Obligations
The Company primarily subcontracts with other companies to manufacture its products. During the normal course of business, the Company’s contract manufacturers procure components based upon orders placed by the Company. If the Company cancels all or part of the orders, it may still be liable to the contract manufacturers for the cost of the components purchased by them to manufacture the Company’s products. The Company periodically reviews the potential liability under its orders, and no significant accruals have been recorded as of March 31, 2017. The Company had inventory purchase obligations of $40.7 million as of March 31, 2017.
Other Obligations
The Company had other obligations of $9.8 million as of March 31, 2017, which consisted primarily of commitments related to research and development projects.
Indemnification Obligations
The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements with many of its business partners in the ordinary course of business. These agreements include provisions for indemnifying the business partner against any claim brought by a third-party to the extent any such claim alleges that a Company product infringes a patent, copyright or trademark, or violates any other proprietary rights of that third-party. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is not estimable and the Company has not incurred any material costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims related to these indemnification agreements to date.
Legal Matters
The Company may be involved, from time to time, in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations, and proceedings relating to contractual disputes, intellectual property rights, employment matters, regulatory compliance matters and other litigation matters relating to various claims that arise in the normal course of business. The Company determines whether an estimated loss from a contingency should be accrued by assessing whether a loss is deemed probable and can be reasonably estimated. The Company assesses its potential liability by analyzing specific litigation and regulatory matters using available information. The Company develops its views on estimated losses in consultation with inside and outside counsel, which involves a subjective analysis of potential results and outcomes, assuming various combinations of appropriate litigation and settlement strategies. Taking all of the above factors into account, the Company records an amount where it is probable that the Company will incur a loss and where that loss can be reasonably estimated. However, the Company’s estimates may be incorrect and the Company could ultimately incur more or less than the amounts initially recorded. The Company may also incur significant legal fees, which are expensed as incurred, in defending against these claims. The Company is not currently aware of any pending or threatened litigation that would have a material adverse effect on the Company's financial statements.
Shareholder Class Action Lawsuits
Beginning on September 7, 2012, two class action lawsuits were filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California against Ubiquiti Networks, Inc., certain of our current and former officers and directors, and the underwriters of its initial public offering, alleging claims under U.S. securities laws. On January 30, 2013, the plaintiffs filed an amended consolidated complaint. On March 26, 2014, the court issued an order granting a motion to dismiss the complaint with leave to amend. Following the plaintiffs’ decision not to file an amended complaint, on April 16, 2014, the court ordered the dismissal of the lawsuit with prejudice, and entered judgment in favor of the Company and the other defendants, and against the plaintiffs. On May 15, 2014, the plaintiffs filed a notice of appeal from the judgment of the court. The Ninth Circuit heard oral arguments on August 10, 2016. On October 24, 2016, the Ninth Circuit issued an unpublished opinion, reaffirming the district court’s dismissal of the alleged violation of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 and reversing the district court’s dismissal of the alleged violations of Sections 11 and 15 of the Securities Act of 1933. The

Company filed a petition for rehearing with the Ninth Circuit, which the Ninth Circuit denied. The Company plans to vigorously defend itself against these claims; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in the lawsuit. The Company cannot currently estimate the possible loss, if any, that it may experience in connection with this litigation.
Synopsys
On February 3, 2017, Synopsys, Inc. (“Synopsys”) filed a complaint against the Company, one of our subsidiaries and certain employees in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California, alleging claims under the Digital Millennium Copyright Act (“DMCA”). On March 28, 2017, Synopsys filed an amended complaint alleging claims under the trafficking provisions of the DMCA and claims for fraud, civil RICO and negligent misrepresentation. The Company plans to vigorously defend itself against these claims; however, there can be no assurance that the Company will prevail in the lawsuit. The Company cannot currently estimate the possible loss or range of losses, if any, that it may experience in connection with this litigation.

NOTE 11—INCOME TAXES
14

Table of Contents
The Company recorded a tax provision of $7.9 million and $18.0 million for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017. The Company’s estimated fiscal year 2017 effective tax rate differs from the U.S. statutory rate primarily due to profits earned in jurisdictions where the tax rate is lower than the U.S. tax rate and in realization of share-based compensation excess tax benefit.
Effective July 1, 2016, the Company early adopted ASU 2016-09 regarding the Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting. In accordance with the new guidance, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, the Company recognized excess tax benefits for share- based payments of $0.2 million and $7.9 million, respectively, as a discrete item within the provision for income taxes rather than additional paid-in capital. See Note 2 for information on the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09.
As of March 31, 2017, the Company had approximately $26.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits, substantially all of which would, if recognized, affect its tax expense. The Company has elected to include interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions as a component of tax expense. At March 31, 2017, an immaterial amount of interest and penalties are included in long-term income tax payable. The Company recorded a net increase of its unrecognized tax benefits of $2.0 million and $4.0 million, respectively, for the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017. The Company does not expect any significant increases or decreases to its unrecognized tax benefits in the next twelve months.
The Company files U.S. federal income tax returns as well as income tax returns in various states and foreign jurisdictions. The Company’s tax filings from fiscal year 2011 and onwards could be subject to examinations by tax authorities.
On July 27, 2015, in Altera Corp. v. Commissioner, the U.S. Tax Court issued an opinion related to the treatment of stock-based compensation expense in an intercompany cost-sharing arrangement. On February 19, 2016, the U.S. Department of the Treasury filed a notice of appeal and has not withdrawn the requirement to include stock-based compensation from its regulations. On June 27, 2016, the U.S. Department of Treasury appealed the holding by filing its opening brief to the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals. We have reviewed this case and its potential impact on Ubiquiti and concluded that no adjustment to the consolidated financial statements is appropriate at this time. We will continue to monitor ongoing developments and potential impacts to our consolidated financial statements.

NOTE 13—RELATED PARTY TRANSACTIONS AND CERTAIN OTHER TRANSACTIONS
Aircraft Lease Agreement
On November 13, 2013, the Company entered into an aircraft lease agreement (the “Aircraft Lease Agreement”) with RJP Manageco LLC (the “Lessor”), a limited liability company owned by the Company’s CEO, Robert J. Pera. Pursuant to the Aircraft Lease Agreement, the Company may lease an aircraft owned by the Lessor for Company business purposes. Under the Aircraft Lease Agreement, the aircraft may be leased at a rate of $5,000 per flight hour. This hourly rate does not include the cost of flight crew or on-board services, which the Company purchases from a third-party provider. The Company recognized a total of approximately $0.5 million and $1.7 million in expenses pursuant to the Aircraft Lease Agreement during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017, respectively. The Company recognized a total of approximately $0.4 million and $1.0 million in expenses pursuant to the Aircraft Lease Agreement during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2016, respectively. All expenses pursuant to the Aircraft Lease Agreement have been included in the Company’s sales, general and administrative expenses in the Consolidated Statements of Operations.
NOTE 14—BUSINESS EMAIL COMPROMISE FRAUD LOSS
As disclosed in June 2015 and 2016, the Company determined that it was the victim of a criminal fraud known to law enforcement authorities as business e-mail compromise fraud which involved employee impersonation and fraudulent requests targeting our finance department. The fraud resulted in transfers of funds aggregating $46.7 million held by a Company subsidiary incorporated in Hong Kong to other overseas accounts held by third parties. To date, the Company has recovered $16.7 million. The Company recovered $8.1 million in fiscal 2015, resulting in a charge of $39.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, including additional expenses consisting of professional service fees associated with the fraud loss. In fiscal 2016, the Company recorded a net recovery of an additional $8.3 million, comprised of the $8.6 million recovery less $0.3 million of professional service fees associated with the recovery. No additional recoveries were made during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017.
The Company intends to continue to pursue the recovery of the remaining $30.0 million. The Company is also continuing to cooperate with U.S. federal and numerous overseas law enforcement authorities, who are actively pursuing a multi-agency criminal investigation. Any additional recoveries of funds are likely remote and therefore cannot be assured.

NOTE 15 - SUBSEQUENT EVENTS
On April 14, 2017, the Company, the Cayman Borrower and certain of its subsidiaries entered in the First Amendment (the “First Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement (as amended by the First Amendment, the “Amended Credit Agreement”). The First Amendment increased the maximum aggregate amount of the Revolving Facility from $200.0 million to $300.0 million, but maintained the $100.0 million Term Facility under the Credit Agreement and the option to request increases in the amounts of such Facilities by up to an additional $50.0 million in the aggregate (any such increase to be in each lender’s sole discretion). The Amended Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain during the term of the Facilities (i) a maximum leverage ratio of 2.50 to 1.00 and (ii) minimum liquidity of $250.0 million, which can be satisfied with unrestricted cash and cash equivalents and up to $50.0 million of availability under the Revolving Facility. All other material terms and provisions of the Amended Credit Agreement remain substantially identical to the terms and provisions in place immediately prior to the effectiveness of the First Amendment, other than the revision or inclusion of certain customary market provisions.
Pursuant to the $50 million stock repurchase program approved by the Board of Directors of the Company on March 3, 2017, the Company repurchased $3.0 million of its common stock in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017 that were trades executed on or prior to March 31, 2017. Please see Note 9 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements and Part II “Other Information” - Item 2 “Unregistered Sales of Equity Securities and Use of Proceeds” for more information.
Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations
The following discussion of our financial condition and results of operations should be read together with the financial statements and related notes that are included elsewhere in this quarterly report. In addition to historical consolidated financial information, the following discussion contains forward-looking statements that reflect our plans, estimates and beliefs. Our actual results could differ materially from those discussed in the forward-looking statements. Factors that could cause or contribute to these differences include those discussed below and elsewhere in this quarterly report, particularly in Note 8 “Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements and Part II “Other Information”, Item 1-Legal Proceedings and 1A-Risk Factors, in this report.
Overview
Ubiquiti Networks, Inc. develops high performance networking technology for service providers and enterprises. Our technology platforms focus on delivering highly-advanced and easily deployable solutions that appeal to a global customer base in underserved and underpenetrated markets. Our differentiated business model has enabled us to break down traditional barriers, such as high product and network deployment costs, and offer solutions with disruptive price-performance characteristics. This differentiated business model, combined with our innovative proprietary technologies, has resulted in an attractive alternative to traditional high touch, high cost providers, allowing us to advance the market adoption of our platforms for ubiquitous connectivity.
We offer a broad and expanding portfolio of networking products and solutions for service providers and enterprises. Our service provider product platforms provide carrier-class network infrastructure for fixed wireless broadband, wireless backhaul systems and routing. Our enterprise product platforms provide wireless LAN infrastructure, video surveillance products, switching and routing solutions and machine-to-machine communication components. We believe that our products are highly differentiated due to our proprietary software protocol innovation, firmware expertise, and hardware design capabilities. This differentiation allows our portfolio to meet the demanding performance requirements of video, voice and data applications at prices that are a fraction of those offered by our competitors.
In May 2016, we announced the creation of Ubiquiti Labs, a division focusing on research and development of consumer electronics. At the same time, we announced a new consumer product platform, called AmpliFi, which is a Wi-Fi system solution designed to serve the demands of the modern connected home.
As a core part of our strategy, we have developed a differentiated business model for marketing and selling high volumes of carrier and enterprise-class communications platforms. Our business model is driven by a large, growing and highly engaged community of service providers, distributors, value added resellers, systems integrators and corporate IT professionals, which we refer to as the Ubiquiti Community. The Ubiquiti Community is a critical element of our business strategy as it enables us to drive:

• | Rapid customer and community driven product development. We have an active, loyal community built by our customers that we believe is a sustainable competitive advantage. Our solutions benefit from the active engagement

17

Table of Contents
between the Ubiquiti Community and our development engineers throughout the product development cycle, which eliminates long and expensive multistep internal processes and results in rapid introduction and adoption of our products. This approach significantly reduces our development costs and time to market.

• | Scalable sales and marketing model. We do not currently have, nor do we plan to hire, a direct sales force, but instead utilize the Ubiquiti Community to drive market awareness and demand for our products and solutions. This community-propagated, viral marketing enables us to reach underserved and underpenetrated markets far more efficiently and cost-effectively than is possible through traditional sales models. Leveraging the information transparency of the Internet allows customers to research, evaluate and validate our solutions with the Ubiquiti Community and via third-party web sites. This allows us to operate a scalable sales and marketing model and effectively create awareness for our brand and products. Word-of-mouth referrals from the Ubiquiti Community generate high quality leads for our distributors at relatively little cost.

• | Self-sustaining product support. The engaged members of the Ubiquiti Community have enabled us to foster a large, cost efficient, highly-scalable and, we believe, self-sustaining mechanism for rapid product support and dissemination of information.

By reducing the cost of development, sales, marketing and support, we are able to eliminate traditional business model inefficiencies and offer innovative solutions with disruptive price performance characteristics to our customers.
Key Components of Our Results of Operations and Financial Condition
Revenues
Our revenues are derived principally from the sale of networking hardware and management tools. In addition, while we do not sell maintenance and support separately, because we have historically included it free of charge in many of our arrangements, we attribute a portion of our systems revenues to this implied post-contract customer support (“PCS”).
We classify our revenues into two primary product categories: Service Provider Technology and Enterprise Technology.

• | Service Provider Technology includes our airMAX, EdgeMAX and airFiber platforms, as well as embedded radio products and other 802.11 standard products including base stations, radios, backhaul equipment and CPE. Additionally, Service Provider Technology includes antennas and other products primarily in the 0.9 to 6.0 GHz spectrum and miscellaneous products such as mounting brackets, cables and power over Ethernet adapters. Service Provider Technology also includes solar products (sales of which have not been material to date) and revenues that are attributable to PCS.

• | Enterprise Technology includes our UniFi and mFi platforms, including UniFi enterprise Wi-Fi, UniFi Video Products, UniFi switching and routing solutions. Enterprise Technology also includes AmpliFi products and revenues that are attributable to PCS.

We sell substantially all of our products through a limited number of distributors and other channel partners, such as resellers and Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”). Sales to distributors accounted for 99% of revenues during the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017.
Cost of Revenues
Our cost of revenues is comprised primarily of the costs of procuring finished goods from our contract manufacturers and chipsets that we consign to certain of our contract manufacturers. In addition, cost of revenues includes labor and other costs associated with engineering, including salary, benefits and stock-based compensation in addition to costs associated with tooling, testing and quality assurance, warranty fees, logistics fees and excess and obsolete inventory.
In addition to utilizing contract manufacturers, we outsource most of our logistics warehousing and order fulfillment functions, which are located primarily in China, and to a lesser extent, Taiwan, Poland and the United States. We also evaluate and utilize other vendors for various portions of our supply chain from time to time. Our operations organization consists of employees and consultants engaged in the management of our contract manufacturers, new product introduction activities, logistical support and engineering.
Gross Profit
18

Table of Contents
Our gross profit has been, and may, in the future, be influenced by several factors, including changes in product mix, target end markets for our products, pricing due to competitive pressure, production costs and global demand for electronic components. Although we procure and sell our products in U.S. dollars, our contract manufacturers incur many costs, including labor costs, in other currencies. To the extent that the exchange rates move unfavorably for our contract manufacturers, they may try to pass these additional costs to us, which could have a material impact on our future average selling prices and unit costs.
Operating Expenses
We classify our operating expenses as research and development and sales, general and administrative expenses.

• | Research and development expenses consist primarily of salary and benefit expenses, including stock-based compensation, for employees and costs for contractors engaged in research, design and development activities, as well as costs for prototypes, purchased Intellectual Property (“IP”), non-recurring engineering milestones, facilities and travel. Over time, we expect our research and development costs to increase as we continue making significant investments in developing new products in addition to new versions of our existing products.

• | Sales, general and administrative expenses include salary and benefit expenses, including stock-based compensation, for employees and costs for contractors engaged in sales, marketing and general and administrative activities, as well as the costs of legal expenses, trade shows, marketing programs, promotional materials, bad debt expense, professional services, facilities, general liability insurance and travel. As our product portfolio and targeted markets expand, we may need to employ different sales models, such as building a direct sales force. These sales models would likely increase our costs. Over time, we expect our sales, general and administrative expenses to increase in absolute dollars due to continued growth in headcount, expansion of our efforts to register and defend trademarks and patents and to support our business and operations.

Deferred Revenues
We recognize revenues when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred, the sales price is fixed or determinable and the collectability of the resulting receivable is reasonably assured. In cases where we lack evidence that all of these criteria have been met, we defer recognition of revenue. We classify the cost of products associated with these deferred revenues as deferred costs of revenues.
Included in our deferred revenues is a portion related to PCS obligations that we estimate we will fulfill in the future. As of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, we had deferred revenues of $7.3 million and $4.2 million, respectively, related to these obligations.
Critical Accounting Policies
We prepare our consolidated financial statements in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”). In many cases, the accounting treatment of a particular transaction is specifically dictated by GAAP and does not require management’s judgment in its application. In other cases, management’s judgment is required in selecting among available alternative accounting standards that provide for different accounting treatment for similar transactions. The preparation of consolidated financial statements also requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts we report as assets, liabilities, revenues, costs and expenses and affect the related disclosures. We base our estimates on historical experience and other assumptions that we believe are reasonable under the circumstances. In many instances, we could reasonably use different accounting estimates, and in some instances changes in the accounting estimates are reasonably likely to occur from period to period. Accordingly, our actual results could differ significantly from the estimates made by our management. To the extent that there are differences between our estimates and actual results, our future financial statement presentation, financial condition, results of operations and cash flows will be affected. Our critical accounting policies are discussed in our Annual Report, and there have been no material changes that have not been disclosed in Note 2 herein.

Cost of revenues increased $98.4 million, or 40%, from $245.7 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2016 to $344.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2017. The increase during both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to our overall increase in revenues and to a lesser extent, an increased cost associated with fulfillment operations, warranty accruals and inventory reserves.
Gross profit margin decreased to 45% in the three months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 49% in the three months ended March 31, 2016 and decreased to 46% in the nine months ended March 31, 2017 compared to 49% in the nine months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease during both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to change in mix of products sold and to a lesser extent, an increase in shipping cost and warranty accruals.
Operating Expenses
Research and Development
Research and development (“R&D”) expenses increased $2.8 million, or 20%, from $13.8 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $16.6 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017. As a percentage of revenues, research and development expenses remained flat at 8% for the three months ended March 31, 2016 and 2017. R&D expenses increased $4.7 million, or 11%, from $42.8 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2016 to $47.5 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2017. As a percentage of revenues, R&D expenses decreased from 9% in the nine months ended March 31, 2016 to 7% in the nine months ended March 31, 2017.
The increase in research and development expenses in absolute dollars during both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to increases in headcount and development activities and offset, in part, by the $2.5 million impairment charge for capitalized software development cost recognized in the nine months ended March 31, 2016. The increase in headcount and development cost reflects the increased efforts to broaden our research and development activities to introduce new products and new versions of existing products. As a percentage of revenues, R&D expenses decreased primarily due to our overall increase in revenues.
Sales, General and Administrative
Sales, general and administrative expenses increased $0.6 million, or 7%, from $8.5 million in the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $9.1 million in the three months ended March 31, 2017. As a percentage of revenues, sales, general and administrative expenses decreased from 5% in the three months ended March 31, 2016 to 4% in the three months ended March 31, 2017. Sales, general and administrative expenses increased $2.8 million, or 12%, from $24.1 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2016 to $26.9 million in the nine months ended March 31, 2017. As a percentage of revenues, sales, general and administrative expenses decreased from 5% in the nine months ended March 31, 2016 to 4% in the nine months ended March 31, 2017.
Increases in sales, general and administrative expenses in absolute dollars during both the three and nine months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in the prior year are primarily due to an increase in headcount in the

Table of Contents
business development organization and the overall increases in business development initiatives and offset, in part, by lower cost for interim management and advisory services to remediate internal control weaknesses. As a percentage of revenues, sales, general and administrative expenses decreased primarily due to our overall increase in revenues.
Provision for Income Taxes
Our provision for income taxes increased $1.0 million or 15%, from $6.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2016 to $7.9 million for the three months ended March 31, 2017. Our effective tax rate decreased to 11.0% for the three months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to 11.6% for the three months ended March 31, 2016. The lower effective tax rate in the three months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to return-to-provision tax benefit, partially offset by taxes on increased sales in the U.S. Our provision for income taxes decreased $1.3 million, or 7%, from $19.2 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2016 to $17.9 million for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. Our effective tax rate decreased to 8.4% for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 as compared to 11.0% for the nine months ended March 31, 2016. The decrease in the nine months ended March 31, 2017 was primarily due to return-to-provision tax benefit of $0.7 million and the recognition of the excess tax benefits of $7.9 million as a result of the adoption of ASU 2016-09 partially offset by taxes on increased sales in the U.S. See Note 2 for information on the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-09.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
Sources and Uses of Cash
Since inception, our operations primarily have been funded through cash generated by operations and proceeds from our various debt agreements. Cash and cash equivalents decreased from $551.0 million at June 30, 2016 to $533.9 million at March 31, 2017.
Consolidated Cash Flow Data
The following table sets forth the major components of our consolidated statements of cash flows data for the periods presented:

| Nine Months Ended March 31,
| 2017 |  | 2016
| (In thousands)
Net cash provided by operating activities | $ | 65,895 |  |  | $ | 151,944 |
Net cash (used in) investing activities | (5,704 | ) |  | (4,820 | )
Net cash (used in) provided by financing activities | (77,278 | ) |  | (90,976 | )
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents | $ | (17,087 | ) |  | $ | 56,148 |

Cash Flows from Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2017 of $65.9 million consisted primarily of net income of $196.8 million partially offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities that resulted in net cash outflows of $139.9 million. These changes consisted primarily of a $6.3 million increase in accounts payable and accrued liabilities due to the timing of payments, a $43.1 million increase in accounts receivable due to overall higher revenues for the period, a $18.4 million increase in vendor deposit and a $76.8 million increase in inventory due to increase in warehouse stock levels in order to better support customers and reduce lead times, a $3.8 million increase in prepaid expense and other assets primarily due to the increase of non-trade accounts receivable, a $10.6 million increase in prepaid income taxes and a $3.4 million increase in taxes payable due to the timing of federal tax payments. Overall, cash inflows from operating activities were driven by our net income for the period, which included non-cash adjustments primarily due to stock-based compensation, depreciation and amortization, increases to our provision for inventory obsolescence, and decreases to our provision for vendor deposits. The net of these non-cash adjustments resulted in an increase to our net cash provided by operating activities of $9.0 million.
Net cash provided by operating activities in the nine months ended March 31, 2016 of $151.9 million consisted primarily of net income of $155.9 million and net changes in operating assets and liabilities that resulted in net cash outflows of $14.4 million. This net change was primarily driven by outflows arising from a $14.5 million decrease in accounts payable and accrued liabilities, a $9.2 million increase in accounts receivable due to overall higher revenues for the period, and a $5.9 million increase in inventory to fulfill expected future sales orders. These outflows were offset by changes in operating assets and liabilities resulting in cash inflows, including a $6.6 million decrease in vendor deposits due to consumption of raw material backed by vendor deposits, a $3.9 million increase in taxes payable due to increases in the income tax provision,
23

Table of Contents
a $2.6 million decrease in prepaid taxes due to the timing of federal tax payments, a $374 thousand increase in deferred revenue due to additional PCS revenue deferrals during the period, and a $1.6 million decrease in prepaid expenses and other current assets. Overall, cash inflows from operating activities were driven by our net income for the period, which included non-cash adjustments primarily due to stock-based compensation (net of excess tax benefit), depreciation and amortization, write-off of previously capitalized software development costs, increases to our provision for inventory obsolescence due to consumption of inventory previously reserved, and increases to our provision for sales returns. The net of these non-cash adjustments resulted in an increase to our net cash provided by operating activities of $10.5 million.
Cash Flows from Investing Activities
We used $5.7 million of cash in investing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2017. Our investing activities consist of capital expenditures for machinery and equipment related to product development and prototyping activities in addition to purchases of intangible assets. Capital expenditures for the nine months ended March 31, 2017 and 2016 were $5.7 million and $4.8 million, respectively.
Cash Flows from Financing Activities
We used $77.3 million of cash in financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2017. During the nine months ended March 31, 2017, we paid $99.8 million for repurchases of our common stock. We also made repayments of $7.5 million on our outstanding term loan debt under the Term Facility. These cash outflows were offset by financing cash inflows of $30.0 million related to one draw made under the revolver facility of our Credit Agreement. Additionally, cash inflows from financing activities included $1.4 million of cash proceeds received from the exercise of stock options partially offset by tax withholdings related to net share settlements of restricted stock units totaling $1.4 million.
We used $91.0 million of cash in financing activities during the nine months ended March 31, 2016. During the nine months ended March 31, 2016 we paid $150.0 million for repurchases of our common stock. We also made repayments of $7.5 million on our outstanding term loan debt under the Credit Agreement. These cash outflows were offset by financing cash inflows, including four draws made under the Revolving Facility totaling $66.0 million that were used, in part, for the repurchases of our common stock discussed above. Additionally, cash inflows from financing activities included $778 thousand of cash proceeds received from the exercise of stock options in addition to $671 thousand of excess tax benefit from employee stock-based awards, partially offset by tax withholdings related to net share settlements of restricted stock units totaling $922 thousand.
Liquidity
We believe our existing cash and cash equivalents, cash provided by operations and the availability of additional funds under the Facilities will be sufficient to meet our working capital and capital expenditure needs for at least the next twelve months. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those currently planned and will depend on many factors, including our rate of revenue growth, the timing and extent of spending to support development efforts, the timing of new product introductions, market acceptance of our products and overall economic conditions. As of March 31, 2017, we held $511.8 million of our $533.9 million of cash and cash equivalents in accounts of our subsidiaries outside of the United States and we could incur material tax liabilities if we decide to repatriate those amounts.
Warranties and Indemnifications
Our products are generally accompanied by a twelve-month warranty from date of purchase, which covers both parts and labor. Generally the distributor is responsible for the freight costs associated with warranty returns, and we absorb the freight costs of replacing items under warranty. In accordance with the Financial Accounting Standards Board’s (“FASB’s”), Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”), 450-20, Loss Contingencies, we record an accrual when we believe it is reasonably estimable and probable based upon historical experience. We record a provision for estimated future warranty work in cost of goods sold upon recognition of revenues, and we review the resulting accrual regularly and periodically adjust it to reflect changes in warranty estimates.
We have, and may in the future enter into standard indemnification agreements with many of our distributors and OEMs, as well as certain other business partners in the ordinary course of business. These agreements do, and may in the future include provisions for indemnifying the distributor, OEM or other business partner against any claim brought by a third-party to the extent any such claim alleges that a Ubiquiti product infringes a patent, copyright or trademark or violates any other proprietary rights of that third-party. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited. The maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is not estimable.
24

Table of Contents
We have agreed to indemnify our directors, officers and certain other employees for certain events or occurrences, subject to certain limits, while such persons are or were serving at our request in such capacity. We may terminate the indemnification agreements with these persons upon the termination of their services with us, but termination will not affect claims for indemnification related to events occurring prior to the effective date of termination. The maximum amount of potential future indemnification is unlimited. We have a Directors and Officers insurance policy that limits our potential exposure. We believe the fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. We have not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of March 31, 2017.
Based upon our historical experience and information known as of the date of this report, we do not believe it is likely that we have a material liability for the above indemnities at March 31, 2017.
Contractual Obligations and Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations as of March 31, 2017 for the remainder of fiscal 2017 and future fiscal years (in thousands):

| 2017 (remainder) |  | 2018 |  | 2019 |  | 2020 |  | 2021 |  | Thereafter |  | Total
Operating leases | $ | 1,851 |  |  | $ | 5,752 |  |  | $ | 3,120 |  |  | $ | 2,203 |  |  | $ | 1,356 |  |  | $ | 560 |  |  | $ | 14,842 |

Operating Leases
We lease our headquarters in San Jose, California in addition to other locations worldwide under non-cancelable operating leases that expire at various dates through fiscal 2022.
Principal, Interest and Other Debt Payment Obligations
On March 3, 2015, we entered into the Credit Agreement, that provides for a $200.0 million senior secured revolving credit facility and a $100.0 million senior secured term loan facility, with an option to request increases in the amounts of such credit facilities by up to an additional $50.0 million in the aggregate (any such increase to be in each lender’s sole discretion). Please see Note 7 of the notes to the consolidated financial statements for more information. Although interest rates on our debt obligations will likely vary over time, we have assumed our interest rates as of March 31, 2017 as the interest rates for all fiscal years presented. Furthermore, the interest payment intervals on our revolving debt are determined at the Company's election pursuant to the Credit Agreement, and may change over time. For purposes of the table above, we have assumed two to three-month payment intervals on our revolving debt, consistent with our elections to date. Also included are estimated bank fees to be paid for unused portions of our Revolving Facility.
Purchase Obligations
We subcontract with third parties to manufacture our products. During the normal course of business, our contract manufacturers procure components and manufacture product based upon orders placed by us. Component and product inventory held by our contract manufacturers or our third-party logistics providers is not recorded on our balance sheet until legal title passes to the Company. If we cancel all or part of the orders, we may still be liable to the contract manufacturers for the cost of the components they purchased and for manufacturing and other costs related to these components. We periodically review the potential liability, and no significant liabilities for cancellations have been recorded for the nine months ended March 31, 2017. Our consolidated financial position and results of operations could be negatively impacted if we were required to compensate the contract manufacturers for any unrecorded liabilities incurred. The Company had inventory purchase obligations of $40.7 million as of March 31, 2017.
Other Obligations
We had other obligations of $9.8 million as of March 31, 2017, which consisted primarily of commitments related to research and development projects.
Unrecognized Tax Benefits
25

Table of Contents
As of March 31, 2017, we had $26.9 million of unrecognized tax benefits. This amount has not been included in the above table as the settlement period for the unrecognized tax benefits, including related accrued interest and penalties, cannot be determined.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Sensitivity
Our revolving and term loans bear interest, at our option, at either (i) a floating rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of between 0.50% and 1.25%, depending on our leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter or (ii) a floating per annum rate equal to the applicable LIBOR rate for a specified period, plus a margin of between 1.50% and 2.25%, depending on our leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. Swingline loans bear interest at a floating rate per annum equal to the base rate plus a margin of between 0.50% and 1.25%, depending on our leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. Base rate is defined as the greatest of (A) Wells Fargo’s prime rate, (B) the federal funds rate plus 0.50% or (C) the applicable LIBOR rate for a period of one month plus 1.00%. A default interest rate shall apply on all obligations during certain events of default under the Credit Agreement at a rate per annum equal to 2.00% above the applicable interest rate. The Company will pay to each lender a facility fee on a quarterly basis based on the unused amount of each lender’s commitment to make revolving loans, of between 0.20% and 0.35%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter. The Company will also pay to the applicable lenders on a quarterly basis certain fees based on the daily amount available to be drawn under each outstanding letter of credit, including aggregate letter of credit commissions of the LIBOR rate plus a margin of between 1.50% and 2.25%, depending on the Company’s leverage ratio as of the most recently ended fiscal quarter, and issuance fees of 0.125% per annum. The Company is also obligated to pay Wells Fargo, as agent, fees customary for a credit facility of this size and type. Based on a sensitivity analysis, as of March 31, 2017, an instantaneous and sustained 200-basis-point increase in interest rates affecting our floating rate debt obligations, and assuming that we take no counteractive measures, would result in an incremental charge to our income before income taxes of approximately $4.5 million over the next twelve months.
We had cash and cash equivalents of $533.9 million and $551.0 million as of March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2016, respectively. These amounts were held primarily in cash deposit accounts in U.S. dollars. The fair value of our cash and cash equivalents
26

Table of Contents
would not be significantly affected by either a 10% increase or decrease in interest rates due mainly to the short-term nature of these instruments.
Foreign Currency Risk
Our sales are denominated in U.S. dollars, and therefore, our revenues are not directly subject to foreign currency risk. Certain of our operating expenses are denominated in the currencies of the countries in which our operations are located, and may be subject to fluctuations due to changes in foreign currency exchange rates, particularly changes in the Chinese Yuan, Euro, and Taiwan Dollar. Our financial position or results of operations would not be significantly affected by a 10% appreciation or depreciation in the value of the U.S. dollar relative to the other currencies in which our expenses are denominated.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Management, with the participation of the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer, evaluated the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017. The term “disclosure controls and procedures,” as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), means controls and other procedures of a company that are designed to ensure that 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 SEC’s rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by a company in the reports that 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 that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives. Based on the evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of March 31, 2017, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that, as of such date, our disclosure controls and procedures were not effective due to the fact that certain material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting previously identified and disclosed in our Item 9A of our Annual Report on Form 10-K, as filed with the SEC on August 22, 2016 (the “Annual Report”) continued to exist at March 31, 2017.
Notwithstanding the ineffectiveness of the Company’s disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and the material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting that existed as of that date, management believes that (i) this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q does not contain any untrue statement of a material fact or omit to state a material fact necessary to make the statements made, in light of the circumstances under which they were made, not misleading with respect to the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q and (ii) the unaudited Condensed consolidated financial statements, and other financial information, included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q fairly present in all material respects in accordance with GAAP our financial condition, results of operations and cash flows as of, and for, the dates and periods presented.
Remediation of Previously Disclosed Material Weakness
We have taken actions to remediate the material weakness associated with the ineffectively designed and maintained controls over user access and transaction privileges to modify and post entries to the general ledger and subsidiary ledgers including (i) reviewed and updated user access and transaction privileges in the general ledger and interfacing subsidiary systems, (ii) implemented systematic and manual controls to monitor the effectiveness of user access and transaction privileges, (iii) enhanced the design of our periodic segregation of duties review, and (iv) developed and communicated policies designed to consider impacts to the general ledger when updating system configurations, including transaction privileges and segregation of duties. Based on these changes, in addition to testing performed, management believes that the material weakness related to user access and transaction privileges in the general ledger was remediated as of September 30, 2016, and as reported in our Form 10-Q for the quarterly period ended September 30, 2016.
Status of Previously Disclosed Material Weaknesses
We have taken certain remediation steps to address the material weaknesses referenced above that continue to remain as of March 31, 2017, including:
27

Table of Contents
Regarding the lack of sufficient, competent personnel necessary for effective financial reporting, we recruited and transitioned the leadership team within the finance organization by adding additional qualified and experienced personnel. We have updated our accounting policies and procedures documentation together with key process level documents. In conjunction with the recruitment efforts, we have clarified roles and responsibilities within the finance organization.
Regarding the ineffectively designed and maintained controls required for safeguarding of the Company’s funds and timely detection of improper transactions in the general ledger, we have implemented new policies and controls surrounding disbursement authorities and journal entry creation, including training on required supporting documentation.
The above remediation efforts have been ongoing and were substantially completed as of March 31, 2017. While we continue to progress with the testing of the newly implemented and redesigned controls, additional time is needed to support the operating effectiveness of such controls. Due to the nature of the remediation process and the need to allow adequate time after implementation to evaluate and test the effectiveness of the controls, no assurance can be given as to the timing of achievement of remediation.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
During the first and second quarter of fiscal 2017 and continuing through the three months ended March 31, 2017, we have implemented (i) systematic and manual controls to monitor user access and transaction privileges and (ii) systematic controls over disbursements. There were no other changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the three months ended March 31, 2017 that materially affected, or that are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
PART II: OTHER INFORMATION
Item 1. Legal Proceedings
Please see Part I, Item 1, Note 8 of the notes to consolidated financial statements for a discussion of our legal proceedings.
Item 1A. Risk Factors
This Report contains forward-looking statements that are subject to risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those projected. These risks and uncertainties include, but are not limited to, the risk factors set forth below. These risks and uncertainties are not the only ones we face. If any event related to these known or unknown risks or uncertainties actually occurs, our business prospects, results of operation, and financial condition could be materially adversely affected.
Risks Related to Our Business and Industry
Fluctuations in our operating results could cause the market price of our common stock to decline.
Our quarterly operating results fluctuate significantly due to a variety of factors, many of which are outside of our control and are difficult or impossible to predict. We expect our operating results will continue to fluctuate. You should not rely on our past results as an indication of our future performance. If our revenues or operating results fall below the expectations of investors or securities analysts, or below any estimates we may provide to the market, the price of our common shares would likely decline substantially, which could have a material adverse impact on investor confidence and employee retention. Our common stock has experienced substantial price volatility since our initial public offering. In addition, the stock market as a whole has experienced major price and volume fluctuations that have affected the stock price of many technology companies in ways that may have been unrelated to these companies’ operating performance.
Factors that could cause our operating results and stock price to fluctuate include:

• | varying demand for our products due to the financial and operating condition of our distributors and their customers, distributor inventory management practices and general economic conditions;

• | shifts in our fulfillment practices including increasing inventory levels as part of efforts to decrease our delivery lead times;

• | failure of our suppliers to provide chips or other components;

28

Table of Contents

• | failure of our contract manufacturers and suppliers to meet our demand;

• | success and timing of new product introductions by us, and our competitors;

• | increased warranty costs;

• | announcements by us or our competitors regarding products, promotions or other transactions;

• | costs related to legal proceedings or responding to government inquiries;

• | our ability to control and reduce product costs; and

• | expenses of our entry into new markets.

In addition, our business may be subject to seasonality, although our recent growth rates and timing of product introductions may have masked seasonal changes in demand.
We have limited visibility into future sales, which makes it difficult to forecast our future operating results.
Because of our limited visibility into end customer demand and channel inventory levels, our ability to accurately forecast our future sales is limited. We sell our products and solutions globally to network operators, service providers and others, primarily through our network of distributors. We do not employ a direct sales force. Sales to our distributors have accounted for nearly all of our revenues. Our distributors do not make long-term purchase commitments to us, and do not typically provide us with information about market demand for our products. We endeavor to obtain information on inventory levels and sales data from our distributors. This information has been generally difficult to obtain in a timely manner, and we cannot always be certain that the information is reliable. If we over forecast demand, we may not be able to decrease our expenses in time to offset any shortfall in revenues. If we under forecast demand, our ability to fulfill sales orders will be compromised and sales to distributors may be deferred or lost altogether.
We are subject to risks associated with our distributors’ inventory management practices.
Our distributors purchase and maintain their own inventories of our products, and we do not control their inventory management. Distributors may manage their inventories in a manner that causes significant fluctuations in their purchases from quarter to quarter, and which may not be in alignment with the actual demand of end customers for our products. If some distributors decide to purchase more of our products than are required to satisfy their customers’ demand in any particular quarter, because they do not accurately forecast demand or otherwise, they may reduce future orders until their inventory levels realign with their customers’ demand. If some distributors decide to purchase less of our products than are required to satisfy their customers’ demand in any particular quarter, because they do not accurately forecast demand or otherwise, sales of our products may be deferred or lost altogether.
If our forecasts of future sales are inaccurate, we may manufacture too many or not enough products.
We may over or under forecast our customers’ actual demand for our products or the actual mix of our products that they will ultimately demand. If we over-forecast demand, we may build excess inventory which could materially adversely affect our operating results. If we under-forecast demand, we may miss opportunities for sales and may impair our customer relationships, which could materially adversely affect our operating results.
The lead times that we face for the procurement of components and subsequent manufacturing of our products are usually much longer than the lead time from our customers’ orders to the expected delivery date. This increases the risk that we may manufacture too many or not enough products in any given period.
We may decide to increase or maintain higher levels of inventory.
With the use of third-party logistics and warehousing providers, we may decide to increase or maintain higher levels of inventory of finished products or components, which may expose us to a greater risk of carrying excess or obsolete inventory. Decisions to increase or maintain higher inventory levels are typically based upon uncertain forecasts or other assumptions. If the assumptions on which we base these decisions turn out to be incorrect, our financial performance could suffer and we could be required to write-off the value of excess products or components inventory.
We rely on a limited number of distributors, and changes in our relationships with our distributors or changes within our distributors may disrupt our sales.
Although we have a large number of distributors in numerous countries who sell our products, a limited number of these distributors represent a significant portion of our sales. One or more of our major distributors may suffer from a decline in their financial condition, decrease in demand from their customers, or a decline in other aspects of their business which could impair their ability to purchase and resell our products. Any distributor may also cease doing business with us at any time with little or no notice. The termination of a relationship with a major distributor, either by us or by the distributor, could result in a temporary or permanent loss of revenues. We may not be successful in finding other suitable distributors on satisfactory terms,

or at all, and this could adversely affect our ability to sell in certain geographic markets or to certain network operators and service providers.
We may not be able to enhance our products to keep pace with technological and market developments while offering competitive prices.
The market for our wireless broadband networking equipment is emerging and is characterized by rapid technological change, evolving industry standards, frequent new product introductions and short product life cycles. The markets for enterprise networking equipment and consumer products possess similar characteristics of rapid technological updates, evolving industry standards, frequent changes in consumer preferences, frequent new product introductions and short and unpredictable product life cycles. Our ability to keep pace in these markets depends upon our ability to enhance our current products, and continue to develop and introduce new products rapidly and at competitive prices. The success of new product introductions or updates on existing products depends on a number of factors including, but not limited to, timely and successful product development, market acceptance, our ability to manage the risks associated with new product production ramp-up, the effective management of our inventory and manufacturing schedule and the risk that new products may have defects or other deficiencies in the early stages of introduction. Our ability to compete successfully will depend in large measure on our ability to maintain a technically skilled development and engineering staff, to successfully innovate, and to adapt to technological changes and advances in the industry. Development and delivery schedules for our products are difficult to predict. We may fail to introduce new versions of our products in a timely fashion. If new releases of our products are delayed, our distributors may curtail their efforts to market and promote our products and our users may switch to competing products.
The markets in which we compete are highly competitive.
The networking, enterprise WLAN, video surveillance, wireless backhaul, machine-to-machine communications, solar and consumer markets in which we primarily compete are highly competitive and are influenced by competitive factors including:

• | our ability to rapidly develop and introduce new high performance integrated solutions;

• | the price and total cost of ownership and return on investment associated with the solutions;

• | the simplicity of deployment and use of the solutions;

• | the reliability and scalability of the solutions;

• | the market awareness of a particular brand;

• | our ability to provide secure access to wireless networks;

• | our ability to offer a suite of products and solutions;

• | our ability to allow centralized management of the solutions; and

• | our ability to provide quality product support.

New entrants seeking to gain market share by introducing new technology and new products may also make it more difficult for us to sell our products, and could create increased pricing pressure. In addition, broadband equipment providers or system integrators may also offer wireless broadband infrastructure equipment for free or as part of a bundled offering, which could force us to reduce our prices or change our selling model to remain competitive.
If there is a shift in the market such that network operators and service providers begin to use closed network solutions that only operate with other equipment from the same vendor, we could experience a significant decline in sales because our products would not be interoperable.
We expect competition to continuously intensify as other established and new companies introduce new products in the same markets that we serve or intend to enter, as these markets consolidate. Our business will suffer if we do not maintain our competitiveness.
A number of our current or potential competitors have longer operating histories, greater brand recognition, larger customer bases and significantly greater resources than we do.
As we move into new markets for different types of equipment, our brand may not be as well-known as incumbents in those markets. Potential customers may prefer to purchase from their existing suppliers rather than a new supplier, regardless of product performance or features. We expect increased competition from other established and emerging companies if our market continues to develop and expand. As we enter new markets, we expect to face competition from incumbent and new market participants.
Many of these companies have significantly greater financial, technical and other resources than we do and are better positioned to acquire and offer complementary products and technologies.
30

Table of Contents
Industry consolidation and other arrangements among competitors may adversely affect our competitiveness because it may be more difficult to compete with entities that have access to their combined resources. These combinations may also affect customers’ perceptions regarding the viability of companies our size and, consequently, affect their willingness to purchase our products.
The complexity of our products could result in unforeseen delays or expenses caused by undetected defects or bugs.
Our products may contain defects and bugs when they are introduced, or as new versions are released. We have focused, and intend to focus in the future, on getting our new products to market quickly. Due to our rapid product introductions, defects and bugs that may be contained in our products may not yet have manifested. We have in the past experienced, and may in the future experience, defects and bugs. If any of our products contain material defects or bugs, or has reliability, quality or compatibility problems, we may not be able to promptly or successfully correct these problems. The existence of defects or bugs in our products may damage our reputation and disrupt our sales. If any of these problems are not found until after we have commenced commercial production and distribution of a new product, we may be required to incur additional development costs, repair or replacement costs and claims. Undetected defects or bugs may lead to negative online Internet reviews of our products, which are increasingly becoming a significant factor in the success of our new product launches, especially for our consumer products. If we are unable to quickly respond to negative reviews, including end user reviews posted on various prominent online retailers, our ability to sell these products will be harmed.
Security vulnerabilities in our products, services and systems could lead to reduced revenues and claims against us.
The quality and performance of some of our products and services may depend upon their ability to withstand cyber attacks. Third parties may develop and deploy viruses, worms and other malicious software programs, some of which may be designed to attack our products, systems, or networks. Some of our products and services also involve the storage and transmission of users’ and customers’ proprietary information which may be the target of cyber attacks. Hardware and software that we produce or procure from third parties also may contain defects in manufacture or design, including bugs and other problems, which could compromise their ability to withstand cyber attacks.
We may have experienced cyber attacks in the past, and may experience cyber attacks in the future. As a result, unauthorized parties may have obtained, and may in the future obtain, access to our systems, data or our users’ or customers’ data. Our security measures may also be breached due to employee error, malfeasance, or otherwise. Third parties may also attempt to induce employees, users, or customers to disclose sensitive information in order to gain access to our data or our users’ or customers’ data. Any such breach or unauthorized access could result in significant legal and financial exposure, damage to our reputation, and a loss of confidence in the security of our products and services. Because the techniques used to obtain unauthorized access, disable or degrade service, or sabotage systems change frequently, and often are not recognized until launched against a target, we may be unable to anticipate these techniques or to implement adequate preventative measures.
The costs to us to eliminate or alleviate security vulnerabilities can be significant, and our efforts to address these problems may not be successful and could result in interruptions, delays, cessation of service and loss of existing or potential customers that may impede our sales, manufacturing, distribution or other critical functions, as well as potential liability to the Company. The risk that these types of events could seriously harm our business is likely to increase as we expand the web-based products and services that we offer.
We may be unable to anticipate or fail to adequately mitigate against increasingly sophisticated methods to engage in illegal or fraudulent activities against us.
Despite any defensive measures we take to manage threats to our business, our risk and exposure to these matters remain heightened because of, among other things, the evolving nature of such threats in light of advances in computer capabilities, new discoveries in the field of cryptography, new and sophisticated methods used by criminals including phishing, social engineering or other illicit acts, or other events or developments that we may be unable to anticipate or fail to adequately mitigate. In June 2015, we determined that we were the victim of a criminal fraud known to law enforcement authorities as business e-mail compromise fraud which involved employee impersonation and fraudulent requests targeting our finance department. The fraud resulted in transfers of funds aggregating $46.7 million held by a Company subsidiary incorporated in Hong Kong to other overseas accounts held by third parties. To date, the Company has recovered $16.7 million. The Company recovered $8.1 million in fiscal 2015, resulting in a charge of $39.1 million in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, including additional expenses consisting of professional service fees associated with the fraud loss. In fiscal 2016, the Company recorded a net recovery of an additional $8.3 million, comprised of the $8.6 million recovery less $0.3 million of professional service fees associated with the recovery. No additional recoveries were made during the nine months ended March 31, 2017.
31

Table of Contents
The Company intends to continue to pursue the recovery of the remaining $30.0 million. The Company is cooperating with U.S. federal and numerous overseas law enforcement authorities, who are actively pursuing a multi-agency criminal investigation. However, any additional recoveries are likely remote and therefore cannot be assured.
The Company may not be successful in obtaining any insurance coverage for this loss. While we do not expect the fraud to have a material impact on our business, we have borne, and will continue to bear additional expenses in connection with the remediation and investigation of the fraud.
Our business and prospects depend on the strength of our brand.
Maintaining and enhancing our brand is critical to expanding our base of distributors and end customers. Maintaining and enhancing our brand will depend largely on our ability to continue to develop and provide products and solutions that address the price-performance characteristics sought by end customers and the users of our products and services, particularly in developing markets which comprise a significant part of our business. If we fail to promote, maintain and protect our brand successfully, our ability to sustain and expand our business and enter new markets will suffer.
We rely on the Ubiquiti Community to provide our engineers with valuable feedback that is important in our research and development processes.
We rely on the Ubiquiti Community to provide rapid and substantive feedback on the functionality and effectiveness of our products. The insights, problems and suggestions raised by the Ubiquiti Community enable our engineers to quickly resolve issues with our existing products and improve functionality in subsequent product releases. If the members of the Ubiquiti Community were to become less engaged or otherwise ceased providing valuable, timely feedback, our internal research and development costs and our time to market could increase, which could cause us to incur additional expenses or make our products less attractive to customers.
We rely on the Ubiquiti Community to generate awareness of, and demand for, our products.
We believe a significant portion of our growth to date has been driven by the diverse and actively engaged Ubiquiti Community, and our business model is predicated on the assumption that the Ubiquiti Community will continue to provide these benefits. We do not have a direct sales force and we engage in limited marketing expenditures. Although the Ubiquiti Community is central to the success of our business, the interactions within the Ubiquiti Community, and participation levels, are largely outside of our control. Any negative information about us or our products in the Ubiquiti Community, whether or not justified, could quickly and materially decrease the demand for our products.
We rely on the Ubiquiti Community to provide network operators and service providers with support to install, operate and maintain our products.
We rely on the Ubiquiti Community to provide assistance and other information to network operators and service providers for the installation, operation and maintenance of our products. Because we do not generate or control all of the information provided through the Ubiquiti Community, inaccurate information regarding the installation, operation and maintenance of our products could be promulgated through forum postings by members of the Ubiquiti Community.
Although we moderate and review many forum postings to learn of reported problems and assess the accuracy of advice provided by the Ubiquiti Community, we may not devote sufficient time or resources to adequately monitor the quality of Ubiquiti Community information.
Inaccurate information in the Ubiquiti Community could lead to poor customer experiences or dissatisfaction with our products, which could negatively impact our reputation and diminish our sales.
We may fail to effectively manage the challenges associated with our growth.
Over the past several years we have expanded, and continue to expand, our product offerings, the number of customers we sell to, our transaction volumes, the number of our facilities, and the number of contract manufacturers that we utilize to produce our products. Failure to effectively manage the increased complexity associated with this expansion, particularly in light of our lean management structure, would make it difficult to conduct our business, fulfill customer orders, and pursue our strategies. We may also need to increase costs to add personnel, upgrade or replace our existing reporting systems, as well as improve our business processes and controls as a result of these changes. If we fail to effectively manage any of these challenges we could suffer inefficiencies, errors and disruptions in our business, which in turn would adversely affect our operating results.
We rely on a limited number of contract manufacturers to produce our products.
32

Table of Contents
We retain contract manufacturers, located primarily in China, to manufacture our products. Any significant change in our relationship with these manufacturers could have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition. Our reliance on contract manufacturers for manufacturing our products can present significant risks to us because, among other things, we do not have direct control over their activities. We significantly depend upon our contract manufacturers to:

• | assure the quality of our products;

• | manage capacity during periods of volatile demand;

• | qualify appropriate component suppliers;

• | ensure adequate supplies of components and materials;

• | deliver finished products at agreed upon prices and schedules; and

• | safeguard materials and finished goods.

The ability and willingness of our contract manufacturers to perform is largely outside our control.
We believe that our orders may not represent a material portion of our contract manufacturers’ total orders and, as a result, fulfilling our orders may not be a priority in the event our contract manufacturers are constrained in their capacity. If any of our contract manufacturers experiences problems in its manufacturing operations, or if we have to change or add additional contract manufacturers, our ability to ship products to our customers would be impaired.
We rely upon a limited number of suppliers, and it can be costly and time consuming to use components from other suppliers.
We purchase components, directly or through our contract manufacturers, from third parties that are necessary for the manufacture of our products. Shortages in the supply of components or other supply disruptions may not be predicted in time to design-in different components or qualify other suppliers. Shortages or supply disruptions may also increase the prices of components due to market conditions. While many components are generally available from a variety of sources, we and our contract manufacturers currently depend on a single or limited number of suppliers for several components for our products. For example, we currently rely upon Qualcomm Atheros as a single-source supplier of certain components for some of our products, and a disruption in the supply of those components would significantly disrupt our business.
We and our contract manufacturers generally rely on short-term purchase orders rather than long-term contracts with the suppliers of components for our products. As a result, even if components are available, we and our contract manufacturers may not be able to procure sufficient components at reasonable prices to build our products in a timely manner. We may, therefore, be unable to meet customer demand for our products, which would have a material adverse effect on our business, operating results and financial condition.
Not paying cash dividends to our stockholders, or repurchasing shares of our common stock pursuant to a stock repurchase program, could cause the market price for our common stock to decline.
Our payment of cash dividends will be subject to, among other things, our financial position and results of operations, available cash and cash flow, capital requirements, and other factors. These and other factors may also affect the continuation of, or activity under, our previously announced stock repurchase program. Failure to pay cash dividends could cause the market price of our common stock to decline. The discontinuance of, or lack of activity under, our previously announced stock repurchase program could also result in a lower market price of our common stock.
A general global economic downturn may negatively affect our customers and their ability to purchase our products. A downturn may decrease our revenues and increase our costs and may increase credit risk with our customers and impact our ability to collect account receivable and recognize revenue.
Since the middle of 2008, there has been global economic uncertainty, including reduced economic growth, reduced confidence in financial markets, bank failure and credit availability concerns. In June 2016, the United Kingdom held a referendum in which voters approved an exit from the European Union, commonly referred to as “Brexit”. As a result of the referendum, it is expected that the United Kingdom government will negotiate the terms of the United Kingdom’s future relationship with the European Union. Although it is unknown what those terms will be, the Brexit could create global economic uncertainty and cause disruptions in the markets that we serve.
Disruptions in the financial markets have had and may continue to have an adverse effect on the U.S. and world economies, which could adversely and materially impact business spending patterns. Tightening of credit in financial markets could
33

Table of Contents
adversely affect the ability of our customers and suppliers to obtain financing for significant purchases and operations and could result in a decrease in or cancellation of orders for our products.
Economic downturns may exacerbate some of the other risks that affect our business, results of operations and financial condition. A tighter credit market for consumer, business, and service provider spending may have several adverse effects, including reduced demand for our products, increased price competition or deferment of purchases and orders by our customers. Additional effects may include increased demand for customer finance, difficulties in collection of accounts receivable and increased risk of counterparty failures.
Risks Related to Our International Operations
Our business is susceptible to risks associated with operations outside of the United States.
We have operations in China, Lithuania, Poland, Taiwan, United States and elsewhere. We also sell to distributors in numerous countries throughout the world. Our operations outside of the United States subject us to risks that we generally do not face in the United States. These include:

• | the burdens of complying with a wide variety of foreign laws and regulations, and the risks of non-compliance;

• | fluctuations in currency exchange rates;

• | increasing labor costs, especially in China;

• | difficulties in managing the geographically remote personnel;

• | the complexities of foreign tax systems and changes in their tax rates and rules;

• | stringent consumer protection and product compliance regulations that are costly to comply with and may vary from country to country;

• | limited protection and enforcement regimes for intellectual property rights in some countries;

• | increased financial accounting and reporting burdens and complexity; and

• | political, social and economic instability in some jurisdictions.

If any of these risks were to come to fruition, it could negatively affect our business outside the United States and, consequently, our operating results. Additionally, operating in markets outside the United States requires significant management attention and financial resources. We cannot be certain that the investment and additional resources required to establish, acquire or integrate operations in other countries will produce desired levels of revenues or profitability.
Our third-party logistics and warehousing providers in China and elsewhere may fail to safeguard and accurately manage and report our inventory.
We use third-party logistics and warehousing providers located in China to fulfill the majority of our worldwide sales. We also rely on our third-party logistics and warehousing providers to safeguard, and manage and report on the status of our products at their warehouse and in transit. These service providers may fail to safeguard our products, fail to accurately segregate and report our inventory, or fail to manage and track the delivery of our products, which could have a material adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
To the extent that we develop some of our own manufacturing capacity, we will be subject to various risks associated with such activities.
We invested in developing some of our own manufacturing capacity, for example to support our product development and prototyping. To the extent that we may invest in and expand these manufacturing capabilities, and increasingly rely upon such activities, we will face increased risks associated with:

• | bearing the fixed costs of these activities;

• | directly procuring components and materials;

• | regulatory and other compliance requirements;

• | exposure to casualty loss and other disruptions;

• | quality control;

• | labor relations; and

• | our limited experience in operating manufacturing facilities.

34

Table of Contents
Since these activities would be conducted in China, some of these risks may be more significant due to the less predictable legal and political environment.
Our business may be negatively affected by political events and foreign policy responses.
Geopolitical uncertainties and events could cause damage or disruption to international commerce and the global economy, and thus could have a material adverse effect on us, our suppliers, logistics providers, manufacturing vendors and customers, including our channel partners. Changes in commodity prices may also cause political uncertainty, and increase currency volatility that can affect economic activity. The foreign policies of governments may be volatile, and may result in rapid changes to import and export requirements, customs classifications, tariffs, trade sanctions and embargoes that may prevent us from offering products or providing services to particular entities or markets or may create delays and inefficiencies in our supply chain. For example, political unrests and uncertainties in Eastern Europe and Middle East may lead to disruptions in commerce in those regions, which would in turn impact our sales to those regions. Furthermore, if the U.S. government imposes new sanctions against certain countries or entities, such sanctions could sufficiently restrict our ability to market and sell our products and may materially adversely affect our results of operations.
Our ability to introduce new products and support our existing products depends on our ability to manage geographically dispersed research and development teams.
Significant parts of our research and development operations are conducted in geographically dispersed localities. Our success depends on the effectiveness of our research and development activities. We must successfully manage these geographically dispersed teams in order to meet our objectives for new product introduction, product quality and product support. It can be difficult to effectively manage geographically dispersed research and development teams. If we fail to do so, we could incur unexpected costs or delays in product development.
Our contract manufacturers, logistics centers and certain administrative and research and development operations are located in areas likely to be subject to natural disasters.
The manufacturing or shipping of our products at one or more facilities may be disrupted because our manufacturing and logistics contractors are all located in southern China. Our principal executive offices are located in California. The risks of earthquakes, extreme storms and other natural disasters in these geographic areas are significant. Any disruption resulting from these events could cause significant delays in product development or shipments of our products until we are able to shift our development, manufacturing or logistics centers from the affected contractor to another vendor, or shift the affected administrative or research and development activities to another location.
Risks Related to Intellectual Property
We have limited ability to obtain and enforce intellectual property rights, and may fail to effectively obtain and enforce such rights.
Our success can depend significantly upon our intellectual property rights. We rely on a combination of patent, copyright, trademark, trade secret laws, and contractual rights to establish, maintain and protect these intellectual property rights, all of which afford only limited protection. Our patent rights, and the prospective rights sought in our pending patent applications, may not be meaningful or provide us with any commercial advantage and they could be opposed, contested, circumvented or designed around by our competitors or be declared invalid or unenforceable in legal proceedings. In addition, patents may not be issued from any of our current or future patent applications. Any failure of our patents or other intellectual property rights to adequately protect our technology might make it easier for our competitors to offer similar products or technologies.
Confidentiality agreements with our employees, licensees, independent contractors and others may not effectively prevent disclosure of our trade secrets, and may not provide an adequate remedy in the event of unauthorized use or disclosure of our trade secrets. We may also fail or have failed to obtain such agreements from such persons due to administrative oversights or other reasons.
Monitoring unauthorized use of our intellectual property is difficult and costly. Unauthorized use of our intellectual property, such as the production of counterfeits of our products, and unauthorized registration and use of our trademarks by third parties, is a matter of ongoing concern. The steps we have taken may not prevent unauthorized use of our intellectual property. We may fail to detect infringements of, or take appropriate steps to enforce, our intellectual property rights. Our competitors might independently develop similar technology without infringing our intellectual property rights. Our inability or failure to effectively protect our intellectual property could reduce the value of our technology and could impair our ability to compete. Any inability or failure by us to meaningfully protect our intellectual property could result in competitors offering products that incorporate our most technologically advanced features.
35

Table of Contents
We have initiated and may continue to initiate legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property rights. Litigation, whether we are a plaintiff or a defendant, can be expensive and time-consuming, may place our intellectual property at risk of being invalidated or narrowed in scope, and may divert the efforts of our technical staff and managerial personnel.
Enforcement of our intellectual property rights abroad, particularly in China and South America, is limited.
The intellectual property protection and enforcement regimes in certain countries outside the United States are generally not as comprehensive as in the United States, and may not adequately protect our intellectual property. The legal regimes relating to the recognition and enforcement of intellectual property rights in China and South America are particularly limited. Legal proceedings to enforce our intellectual property in these jurisdictions may progress slowly, during which time infringement may continue largely unimpeded. Countries that have relatively inefficient intellectual property protection and enforcement regimes represent a significant portion of the demand for our products. These factors may make it more challenging for us to enforce our intellectual property rights against infringement. The infringement of our intellectual property rights, particularly in these jurisdictions, may materially harm our business in these markets and elsewhere by reducing our sales, and diluting our brand or reputation.
Our contract manufacturers may not respect our intellectual property, and may produce products that compete with ours.
Our contract manufacturers operate in China, where the prosecution of intellectual property infringement and trade secret theft is more difficult than in the United States. In the past, our contract manufacturers, their affiliates, their other customers or their suppliers have attempted to participate in efforts to misappropriate our intellectual property and trade secrets to manufacture our products for themselves or others without our knowledge. Even if the agreements with our contract manufacturers, and applicable laws, prohibit them from misusing our intellectual property and trade secrets, we may be unsuccessful in monitoring and enforcing our intellectual property rights against them. We have in the past, and may continue to discover, counterfeit goods being sold as our products or as other brands.
We operate in an industry with extensive intellectual property litigation.
Our commercial success depends in part upon us and our component suppliers not infringing intellectual property rights owned by others, and being able to resolve intellectual property claims without major financial expenditures. Our key component suppliers are often targets of intellectual property claims, and we are subject to claims as well.
There are numerous patents and patent applications in the United States and other countries relating to communications technologies. It can be difficult or impossible to conduct meaningful searches for patents relating to our technologies, or to approach third parties to seek a license to their patents. Even extensive searches for patents that may be relevant to our products may not uncover all relevant patents and patent applications. We cannot determine with certainty whether any existing or future third-party intellectual property rights would require us to alter our technologies, obtain licenses or cease certain activities.
We have received, and may in the future receive, claims from third parties asserting intellectual property infringement and other related claims. As our revenues grow and our profile increases, the frequency and significance of these claims may increase. Whether or not there is merit to a given claim, it can be time consuming and costly to defend against, and could:

• | adversely affect our relationships with our current or future users, customers and suppliers;

• | cause delays or stoppages in the shipment of our products;

• | cause us to modify or redesign our products;

• | divert management’s attention and resources;

• | subject us to significant damages or settlements;

• | require us to enter into costly licensing agreements; or

• | require us to cease offering certain of our products or services.

Some of our competitors may have substantially greater resources than we do and may be able to sustain the costs of complex intellectual property litigation to a greater degree and for longer periods of time than we could. In addition, patent holding companies and other third-party non-practicing entities that focus on extracting royalties and settlements by enforcing patent rights may target our component suppliers, manufacturers, us, our distributors, members of our sales channels, our network operators and service providers, or other purchasers of our products. These companies typically have little or no product revenues and, therefore, our patents may provide little or no deterrence against such companies filing patent infringement lawsuits against our component suppliers, manufacturers, us, our distributors, members of our sales channels, network operators and service providers, or other purchasers of our products.
36

Table of Contents
In addition to liability for monetary damages against us or, in certain circumstances, our network operators and service providers, we may be prohibited from developing, commercializing or continuing to provide certain of our products unless we obtain licenses from the holders of the patents or other intellectual property rights. We cannot assure you that we will be able to obtain any such licenses on commercially reasonable terms, or at all. If we do not obtain licenses, our business, operating results and financial condition could be materially affected and we could, for example, be required to cease offering our products or be required to materially alter our products, which could involve substantial costs and time to develop.
The production of counterfeit versions of our products may reduce our sales levels and damage our brand.
We have in the past and continue to discover counterfeit versions of our products. Although we have taken steps to combat counterfeiting, it is difficult or impossible to detect or prevent all instances of counterfeiting. Particularly if the quality of counterfeit products is poor, damage could be done to our brand. Combating counterfeiting is difficult and expensive, and may not be successful, especially in countries that have a relatively weak legal regime for the protection of intellectual property.
We use open source software in our products that may subject source code to public release or require us to re-engineer our products.
We use open source software in certain of our products, and may use more open source software in the future.
There have been claims challenging the ownership of software against companies that use open source software in the development of their products. We could become subject to claims regarding the ownership of what we believe to be our proprietary software.
Usage of open source software can also lead to greater risks than the use of third-party commercial software, since open source licensors generally do not provide warranties or controls on origin of the software.
Some open source licenses contain requirements that users make available and license the source code for the modifications or derivative works that they create based upon the open source software. If we combine our proprietary software with open source software we could, in some circumstances, be required to release our proprietary source code publicly or license such source code on unfavorable terms or at no cost. That could significantly diminish the value of some of our products and negatively affect our business.
Risks Related to Our Management and Structure
We may lose the services of our founder and chief executive officer, Robert J. Pera, or other key personnel.
Our success and future growth depend on the skills, working relationships and continued services of our management team, and in particular our founder and chief executive officer, Robert J. Pera. Our future performance may also depend on our ability to retain other key personnel. We do not maintain any significant key person insurance with regard to any of our personnel.
Our business model relies in part on leanly staffed, independent and efficient research and development teams. Our research and development teams are organized around small groups or individual contributors for a given platform, and there is little overlap in knowledge and responsibilities. In the event that we are unable to retain the services of any key contributors, we may be unable to bring our products or product improvements to market in a timely manner, if at all, due to disruption in our development activities.
Our future success also depends on our ability to attract, retain and motivate skilled personnel. All of our employees work for us on an at will basis. Competition for personnel is intense in the networking equipment industry, particularly for persons with specialized experience in areas such as antenna design and radio frequency equipment. If we are unable to attract and retain the necessary personnel our business could be materially adversely affected.
We may fail to manage our growth effectively and develop and implement appropriate control systems.
We have substantially expanded our business and operations in recent periods, including increases in the number of our distributors, contract manufacturers, headcount locations and facilities. This rapid expansion places a significant strain on our managerial, administrative, and operational resources. Our business model reflects our decision to operate with streamlined infrastructure, with lower support and administrative headcount. That may increase the risks associated with managing our growth, and we may not have sufficient internal resources to adapt or respond to unexpected challenges and compliance requirements.
Our profitability may decline as we expand into new product areas.
37

Table of Contents
We receive a substantial majority of our revenues from the sale of outdoor wireless networking equipment and enterprise WLAN. As we expand into other products and services, such as video surveillance equipment, wireless backhaul, solar, consumer electronics, and machine-to-machine communications, we may not be able to compete effectively with existing market participants and may not be able to realize a positive return on the investment we have made in these products or services. Entering these markets may result in increased product development costs, and our new products may have extended time to market relative to our current products. If our introduction of a new product is not successful, or if we are not able to achieve the revenues or margins we expect, our operating results may be harmed and we may not recover our product development and marketing expenditures.
We may also be required to add a direct sales force and customer support personnel to market and support new or existing products, which would cause us to experience substantially lower product margins or increase our operating expenses. Adding a direct sales force or customer support personnel could reduce our operating income and may not be successful.
Our operating expenses are increasing as we make expenditures to enhance and expand our operations.
Over the past several years, we have increased our expenditure on infrastructure to support our anticipated growth and as a result of our being a public company. We are continuing to expand our operations outside the United States, using more professional services and hiring more administrative personnel. We intend to make additional investments in systems and personnel and continue to expand our operations to support anticipated growth in our business. As a result, we expect our operating expenses to increase.
In addition, we may need in the future to build a direct sales force to market and sell our products or provide additional resources or cooperative funds to our distributors. Such changes to our existing sales model would likely result in higher selling, general and administrative expenses as a percentage of our revenues.
Compliance with conflict mineral disclosure requirements will create additional compliance cost and may create reputational challenges.
Pursuant to Section 1502 of the Dodd-Frank Act, United States publicly-traded companies are required to disclose use or potential use of certain minerals and their derivatives, including tantalum, tin, gold and tungsten, that are mined from the Democratic Republic of Congo and adjoining countries and deemed conflict minerals.
These requirements necessitate due diligence efforts to assess whether such minerals are used in our products in order to make the relevant required annual disclosures. There are, and will be, ongoing costs associated with complying with these recent disclosure requirements, including diligence to determine the sources of those minerals that may be used or necessary to the production of our products. We may face reputational challenges that could impact future sales if we determine that certain of our products contain minerals not determined to be conflict free or if we are unable to verify with sufficient accuracy the origins of all conflict minerals used in our products.
We rely on third-party software and services to conduct our enterprise resource planning, financial planning and analysis, and financial reporting.
We currently use NetSuite and other software and services to conduct our order management and financial processes. The availability of this service is essential to the management of our business. As we expand our operations, we expect to utilize additional systems and service providers that may also be essential to managing our business. Although the systems and services that we require are typically available from a number of providers, it is time consuming and costly to qualify and implement these relationships.
Our ability to manage our business would suffer if one or more of our providers suffer an interruption in their business, or experience delays, disruptions or quality control problems in their operations, or we have to change or add additional systems and services. We may not be able to control the quality of the systems and services we receive from third-party service providers, which could impair our financial reporting and may negatively impact our operating results and financial condition.
Our debt levels could adversely affect our ability to raise additional capital to fund our operations or limit our ability to react to changes in our industry or the economy.
As of March 31, 2017, our balance outstanding under our existing Facilities, excluding debt issuance costs, was $226.0 million. In the future we may need to raise additional capital to fund our growth and operational goals. If additional financing is not available when required or on acceptable terms, we may not be able to expand our business, develop or enhance our products, take advantage of business opportunities or respond to competitive pressures, which could result in lower revenues and reduce the competitiveness of our products.

Table of Contents
In addition, any potential debt level increases could have important consequences, including:

• | requiring a substantial portion of cash flows from operations to be dedicated to the payment of principal and interest on our indebtedness, thereby reducing our ability to use our cash flows to fund our operations and capital expenditures, and pursue business opportunities;

• | increasing our vulnerability to general industry and economic conditions;

• | limiting our ability to make strategic acquisitions or causing us to make non-strategic divestitures;

• | limiting our ability to obtain additional financing for working capital, capital expenditures, debt service requirements, acquisitions and general corporate or other purposes; and

• | limiting our ability to adjust to changing market conditions and placing us at a competitive disadvantage compared to competitors who are less highly leveraged or have access to more capital.

If we are unable to integrate future acquisitions successfully, our operating results and prospects could be harmed.
We may make acquisitions to improve or expand our product offerings. Our future acquisition strategy will depend on our ability to identify, negotiate, complete and integrate acquisitions. These transactions involve numerous risks, including:

• | difficulties in integrating and managing the operations, technologies and products of the companies we acquire, particularly in light of our lean organizational structure;

• | diversion of our management’s attention from normal daily operation of our business;

• | our inability to maintain the key business relationships and the brand equity of the businesses we acquire;

• | our inability to retain key personnel of the acquired business, particularly in light of the demands we place on individual contributors;

• | uncertainty of entry into markets in which we have limited or no prior experience and in which competitors have stronger market positions;

• | our dependence on unfamiliar affiliates and partners of the companies we acquire;

• | insufficient revenues to offset our increased expenses associated with acquisitions;

• | our responsibility for the liabilities of the businesses we acquire, including those which we may not anticipate; and

• | our inability to maintain internal standards, controls, procedures and policies, particularly in light of our lean organizational structure.

We may be unable to secure the equity or debt funding necessary to finance future acquisitions on terms that are acceptable to us. Completing acquisitions could consume significant amounts of cash. If we finance acquisitions by issuing equity or convertible debt securities, our existing stockholders will likely experience dilution, and if we finance future acquisitions with debt funding, we will incur interest expense and may have to comply with covenants and secure that debt obligation with our assets.
Our CEO has control over key decision making as a result of his control of a majority of our voting stock.
Robert J. Pera, our founder, Chairman, and CEO, is able to exercise voting rights with respect to a majority of the voting power of our outstanding stock and therefore has the ability to control the outcome of matters submitted to our stockholders for approval, including the election of directors and any merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets. This concentrated control could delay, defer, or prevent a change of control, merger, consolidation, or sale of all or substantially all of our assets that our other stockholders support, or conversely this concentrated control could result in the consummation of such a transaction that our other stockholders do not support. This concentrated control could also discourage certain potential investors from acquiring our common stock and might harm the trading price of our stock. In addition, Mr. Pera has the ability to control the management and major strategic investments of our Company as a result of his position as our CEO and his ability to control the election or replacement of our directors. In the event of his death, the shares of our stock that Mr. Pera owns will be transferred to his successors. As a board member and officer, Mr. Pera owes a fiduciary duty to our stockholders and must act in good faith in a manner he reasonably believes to be in the best interests of our stockholders. As a stockholder, even a controlling stockholder, Mr. Pera is entitled to vote his shares in his own interests, which may not always be in the interests of our stockholders generally.
Risks Related to Regulatory, Legal and Tax Matters
We are subject to export control and economic sanctions laws in the United States and elsewhere which could impair our ability to compete in international markets and subject us to liability if we do not comply with applicable laws.
39

Table of Contents
A substantial majority of our sales are into countries outside of the United States. Sales of our products into certain countries are restricted or prohibited under U.S. export control and economic sanctions laws. In addition, certain of our products incorporate encryption components that are subject to export control regulations.
In May 2011, we filed a self-disclosure statement with the U.S. Commerce Department, Bureau of Industry and Security’s (“BIS”) Office of Export Enforcement (“OEE”) relating a review conducted by us regarding certain export transactions from 2008 through March 2011 in which products may have been later sold into Iran by third parties. In June 2011, we also filed a self-disclosure statement with the U.S. Department of the Treasury’s Office of Foreign Asset Control (“OFAC”) regarding these compliance issues. We resolved the matters described in our self-disclosures with the BIS and OFAC, and have taken significant steps towards ensuring our compliance with export control regulations and embargoes. It is, however, possible that violations may occur in the future. If violations should occur in the future, the response of regulators may be more severe in light of prior compliance concerns.
In addition to U.S. export regulations, various other countries regulate the import of certain encryption technology and products, and these laws could limit our ability to distribute our products or our customers’ ability to implement our products in those countries. Changes in our products or changes in export and import regulations may create delays in the introduction of our products in other countries, prevent our customers with international operations from deploying our products or, in some cases, prevent the transfer of our products to certain countries altogether. Any change in export or import regulations or related legislation, shift in approach to the enforcement or scope of existing regulations, or change in the countries, persons or technologies targeted by such regulations, could negatively impact our ability to sell our products to existing customers or the ability of our current and potential distributors, network operators and service providers outside the United States.
New regulations or changes in existing regulations related to our products may result in unanticipated burdens, costs and liabilities.
Products that involve electromagnetic emissions are subject to regulation in the United States and the other countries in which we do business. In the United States, various federal agencies including the Center for Devices and Radiological Health of the Food and Drug Administration, the Federal Communications Commission, the Occupational Safety and Health Administration and various state agencies have promulgated regulations that concern the use of electromagnetic emissions standards. Member countries of the EU and other countries have enacted similar standards concerning electrical safety and electromagnetic compatibility and emissions standards. If any of our products becomes subject to new regulations or if any of our products becomes specifically regulated by additional government entities, compliance with such regulations could become more burdensome, and we may be unable to ship our products or they may cost substantially more to produce, which would reduce our revenues and increase our cost of revenues.
Government regulations designed to protect personal privacy may make it difficult for us to sell our products.
Our products may transmit and store personal information. The handling of such information is increasingly subject to regulations in numerous jurisdictions around the world. These regulations are typically intended to protect the privacy and security of personal information that is collected, stored and transmitted in or from the governing jurisdiction. In addition, because various foreign jurisdictions have different regulations concerning the storage and transmission of personal information, we may face unknown requirements that pose compliance challenges in new geographic markets that we seek to enter. Our efforts to protect the privacy of information may also fail if our encryption and security technology is inadequate or fails to operate as expected. The difficulties in complying with privacy and data protection regulations could subject us to costs, delayed product launches, liabilities or negative publicity that could impair our ability to maintain or expand our operations into some countries and therefore limit our future growth.
Our products rely on the availability of specific unlicensed radio frequency spectrum.
Our products operate in unlicensed radio frequency (“RF”) spectrum, which is used by a wide range of devices such as cordless phones, baby monitors, and microwave ovens, and is becoming increasingly crowded. If such spectrum usage continues to increase through the proliferation of consumer electronics and products competitive with ours, and others, the resultant higher levels of clutter and interference in the bands of operation our products use could decrease the usage by our products. Our business could be further harmed if currently unlicensed RF spectrum becomes subject to licensing in the United States or elsewhere. Network operators and service providers that use our products may be unable to obtain licenses for RF spectrum at reasonable prices or at all. Even if the unlicensed spectrum remains unlicensed, existing and new government regulations may require we make changes in our products. For example, to provide products for network operators and service providers who utilize unlicensed RF spectrum, we may be required to limit their ability to use our products in licensed RF spectrum. The operation of our products by network operators or service providers in the United States or elsewhere in a manner not in compliance with local law could result in fines, operational disruption, or harm to our reputation. In addition, if new
40

Table of Contents
spectrums, either licensed or unlicensed, are made available by government regulatory agencies for broadband wireless communication that may disrupt the competitive landscape of our industry and impact our business.
We could be adversely affected by unfavorable results in litigation.
We may be involved, from time to time, in a variety of claims, lawsuits, investigations, and proceedings relating to contractual disputes, intellectual property rights, employment matters, regulatory compliance matters, consumer or securities class-actions and other litigation matters relating to various claims that arise in the normal course of business and otherwise. As more fully described in Note 8-“Commitments and Contingencies” to our consolidated financial statements and Part II, Item 1-“Legal Proceedings” of this Form 10-Q, we, certain of our current and former officers and directors, and the underwriters of our initial public offering are defendants in a class action lawsuit in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging claims under U.S. securities laws with respect to our initial public offering. In addition, we, one of our subsidiaries and certain of our employees have been named in a complaint filed in the United States District Court for the Northern District of California alleging violations of the Digital Millennium Copyright Act. If we do not prevail in these lawsuits, we may be required to pay monetary damages that may be in excess of our insurance coverage, if any. It can be difficult or impossible to predict the outcome of legal proceedings with any degree of certainty, particularly given that laws may be ambiguous and factual findings can often be the result of incomplete evidence, opinions, varying standards or proof, and extraneous factors. If one or more of the legal proceedings to which we may be or become a party are resolved against us, our results of operations and financial condition could be materially and adversely affected.
We may become subject to warranty claims, product liability and product recalls.
We have received, and may in the future receive, warranty or product liability claims that may require us to make significant expenditures to defend these claims or pay damage awards. In the event of a successful warranty claim, we may also incur costs if we compensate the affected network operator or service provider. Such claims may require a significant amount of time and expense to resolve and defend against, and could also harm our reputation by calling into question the quality of our products. We also may incur costs and expenses relating to a recall of one or more of our products. The process of identifying recalled products that have been widely distributed may be lengthy and require significant resources and we may incur significant replacement costs, contract damage claims and harm to our reputation.
Our customers and the users of our products may expect us to indemnify them against claims for intellectual property infringement, defective products and other losses.
Our customers, users and other parties may expect us to indemnify them for losses incurred in connection with our products, including as a result of intellectual property infringement, defective products, and security vulnerabilities, even if our agreements with them do not require us to provide this indemnification. In some instances, we may decide to defend and indemnify them, irrespective of whether we believe that we have an obligation to do so. The expenses associated with providing indemnification can be substantial. We may also reject demands for indemnification, which may lead to disputes with a customer or other party and may negatively impact our relationships with them.
If we fail to maintain an effective system of internal controls, we may not be able to accurately report our financial condition or results of operations or safeguard our assets.
Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires our management to furnish a report on, and our independent registered public accounting firm to attest to, the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting. The applicable rules require us to disclose any material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting. As disclosed in Item 9A of our Annual Report, management determined that the Company did not maintain an effective control environment, attributable to a lack of sufficient, competent personnel necessary for effective financial reporting. This resulted in the lack of comprehensive and up-to-date accounting policies and procedures, skepticism on the part of key accounting personnel, internal control training, leadership and adequate communication of roles and responsibilities. Growth in the complexity of the business in fiscal 2015 without commensurate growth in the capabilities of the finance and accounting organization contributed to this deficiency.
The Company’s failure to maintain an effective control environment contributed to a second deficiency in the form of ineffectively designed and maintained controls required for safeguarding of the Company’s funds and timely detection of improper transactions in the general ledger. Specifically, the Company’s disbursement authorization policies were not updated timely for changes in personnel and positions nor were authorization requirements clearly stated, including those for non-routine transactions.
The Company’s failure to maintain an effective control environment also contributed to a third deficiency in the form of ineffectively designed and maintained controls over user access and transaction privileges to modify and post entries to the general ledger and subsidiary ledgers. In particular, the scope of user access and transaction privileges to the general ledger and subsidiary ledgers was not sufficiently restricted to provide reasonable assurance of effective process and review controls over
41

Table of Contents
postings to the general ledger. Additionally, recent general ledger changes were completed without due consideration of collateral impacts on segregation of duties controls.
These control deficiencies could result in misstatements of accounts or disclosures that would each result in a material misstatement of the interim or consolidated financial statements that would not be prevented or detected and, therefore, management has determined that these control deficiencies constitute material weaknesses. However, management determined that the foregoing material weaknesses did not result in a material misstatement in the consolidated financial statements as of March 31, 2017. Management determined that the first two material weaknesses resulted in the Company’s inability to prevent and timely detect the business e-mail compromise fraud discussed in Note 14 to the consolidated financial statements that caused a material misappropriation of Company assets during fiscal 2015. In light of these material weaknesses, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Accounting Officer concluded that the Company did not maintain effective internal control over financial reporting as of March 31, 2017.
In the event that we fail to remediate these material weaknesses in our internal control over financial reporting, investor perceptions of our Company may be adversely affected and could cause a decline in the market price of our stock.
Failure to comply with the FCPA and similar laws could subject us to penalties and other adverse consequences.
We face significant risks if we fail to comply with the Foreign Corrupt Practices Act (“FCPA”) of the United States and other laws that prohibit improper payments or offers of payment to foreign governments and their officials and political parties by us and other business entities for the purpose of obtaining or retaining business. In many foreign countries, particularly in countries with developing economies, which represent our principal markets, it may be a local custom that businesses operating in such countries engage in business practices that are prohibited by the FCPA or other laws and regulations. Although we have implemented a company policy requiring our employees and consultants to comply with the FCPA and similar laws, there can be no assurance that all of our employees, and agents, as well as those companies to which we outsource certain of our business operations, will not take actions in violation of our policies, for which we may be ultimately held responsible. Any violation of FCPA or similar laws could result in severe criminal or civil sanctions and suspension or debarment from U.S. government contracting, which could have a material and adverse effect on our reputation, business, operating results and financial condition.
We may suffer from unfavorable tax law changes, an unfavorable government review of our tax returns, or changes in our geographic earnings mix.
We are subject to periodic audits or other reviews by tax authorities in the jurisdictions in which we conduct our activities. Tax authorities could challenge our assertions with respect to how we have conducted our business operations which might result in a claim for larger tax payments from us. Any such payments could have a material and adverse effect on our operating results and financial condition.
In the ordinary course of our business, there are many instances where the determination of tax implications is uncertain. Our calculations of income taxes may be based on our interpretations of applicable tax laws in the jurisdictions in which we file. The final determination of our income tax liabilities may be materially different than what is reflected in our income tax provisions and accruals.
The legislative bodies in many jurisdictions regularly consider proposed legislation that, if adopted, could affect our tax rate in such jurisdictions, and the carrying value of our deferred tax assets or our tax liabilities.
We conduct operations in multiple jurisdictions, and therefore our effective tax rate is influenced by the amounts of income and expense attributed to each such jurisdiction. If such amounts were to change so as to increase the amounts of our net income subject to taxation in higher tax jurisdictions, or if we were to increase our operations in jurisdictions assessing relatively higher tax rates, our effective tax rate could be adversely affected.
If we are required to bring cash into the United States to meet our future funding requirements, we may have to pay high tax rates or seek other available funds.
We hold the substantial majority of our cash and cash equivalents in accounts of our subsidiaries outside of the United States, as our business is largely outside of the United States. Our expenses in the United States could increase faster than we expect. If our cash held in the United States became insufficient to meet our future funding requirements in the United States, we may transfer cash into the United States. If we decide to transfer earnings from our non-U.S. subsidiaries to the United States, that could give rise to the imposition of potentially significant withholding taxes by the jurisdictions in which such amounts were earned, and we may incur substantial tax liabilities in the United States. In addition, we may not receive the benefit of offsetting tax credits, which also could adversely impact our effective tax rate.
