QUICKLOGIC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — The Company and Basis of Presentation
QuickLogic Corporation ("QuickLogic" or "the Company") was founded in 1988 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999. The Company enables Original Equipment Manufacturers, or OEMs to maximize battery life for highly differentiated, immersive user experiences with Smartphone, Wearable, Hearable, Tablet and Internet-of-Things, or IoT devices. QuickLogic delivers these benefits through industry leading ultra-low power customer programmable System on Chip, or SoC semiconductor solutions, embedded software, and embedded Field Programmable Gate Arrays or eFPGA intellectual property or IP licensing solutions. The Company is a fabless semiconductor provider of comprehensive, flexible sensor processing solutions, ultra-low power display bridges, and ultra-low power FPGAs.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The Company recommends that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2017, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 9, 2017. Operating results for the six months ended July 2, 2017 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
QuickLogic's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31 and the fiscal quarters each end on the Sunday closest to the end of each calendar quarter. QuickLogic's second fiscal quarters for 2017 and for 2016 ended on Sunday, July 2, 2017 and July 3, 2016, respectively.
Liquidity
The Company has financed its operations and capital investments through sales of common stock, capital and operating leases, and bank lines of credit. As of July 2, 2017, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $22.2 million and $6.0 million in credit available at the Company's election under its revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank, which expires on September 25, 2017. The Company has drawn down all of the $6.0 million in currently available credit under its revolving line of credit.
On September 25, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank to extend the line of credit for two years through September 25, 2017. This amendment modifies some of the financial covenants. This line of credit provides for committed loan advances of up to $6.0 million, subject to increases at the Company's election of up to $12.0 million. On February 10, 2016, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement to further modify the covenants. See Note 5 for a description of the modified covenants. The Company is in compliance with all loan covenants as of the end of the current reporting period.
On March 28, 2017, the Company issued 11.3 million shares of common stock at a price of $1.50 per share, $0.001 par value. The Company received net proceeds of approximately $15.8 million, after deducting underwriting commissions and other offering-related expenses. The Company expects to use the net proceeds for working capital, to accelerate the development of next generation products and for general corporate purposes. The Company may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire and/or license technologies and acquire and/or invest in businesses when the opportunity arises; however, the Company currently has no commitments or agreements and are not involved in any negotiations with respect to any such transactions. The shares were offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement filed on December 9, 2016 with the SEC, as amended on March 15, 2017, which was declared effective by the SEC on March 16, 2017, and as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated March 23, 2017, which were filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Company currently uses its cash to fund its capital expenditures and operations. Based on past operating performance and current annual operating plans, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financial resources from the revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank, will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditures and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months from the date the

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the three and six-month periods ended July 2, 2017 are available to be issued.
The Company's liquidity is affected by many factors including, among others: the level of revenue and gross profit as a result of the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry; the conversion of design opportunities into revenue; market acceptance of existing and new products, including solutions based on its Sensor Processing solution platforms; fluctuations in revenue as a result of product end-of-life; fluctuations in revenue as a result of the stage in the product life cycle of its customers' products; costs of securing access to and availability of adequate manufacturing capacity; levels of inventories; wafer purchase commitments; customer credit terms; the amount and timing of research and development expenditures; the timing of new product introductions; production volumes; product quality; sales and marketing efforts; the value and liquidity of its investment portfolio; changes in operating assets and liabilities; the ability to obtain or renew debt financing and to remain in compliance with the terms of existing credit facilities; the ability to raise funds from the sale of equity in the Company; the issuance and exercise of stock options and participation in the Company's employee stock purchase plan; and other factors related to the uncertainties of the industry and global economics.
Over the longer term, the Company anticipates that the generation of sales from its new product offerings, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from its revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank, assuming renewal of the line of credit or the Company entering into a new debt agreement with an alternative lender prior to the expiration of this existing revolving line of credit in September 2017, and its ability to raise additional capital in the public capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy its operations and capital expenditures. However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital, if required, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. The inability of the Company to generate sufficient sales from its new product offerings and/or raise additional capital if needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition, including its ability to maintain compliance with its lender’s financial covenants.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QuickLogic and its whollyowned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the Company's non-U.S. operations is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all monetary assets and liabilities of these foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current period-end exchange rates and non-monetary assets and related elements of expense are translated using historical exchange rates. Income and expense elements are translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses from the foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are recorded as interest income and other expense, net in the condensed unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Uses of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, particularly in relation to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns, valuation of investments, valuation of long-lived assets including mask sets, valuation of inventories including identification of excess quantities, market value and obsolescence, measurement of stock-based compensation awards, accounting for income taxes and estimating accrued liabilities.
Concentration of Risk
The Company's accounts receivable are denominated in U.S. dollars and are derived primarily from sales to customers located in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. See Note 11 for information regarding concentrations associated with accounts receivable.

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
For the three and six months ended July 2, 2017, the Company generated 21% and 22% of its total revenue from shipments to Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Samsung"). See Note 11 for information regarding concentrations associated with customers and distributors.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
During the six months ended July 2, 2017, there were no changes in the Company's significant accounting policies from its disclosure in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2017. For a discussion of the significant accounting policies, please see the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017. In the first quarter of 2017, the Company started recognizing revenue from licensing eFPGA Intellectual Property, or IP. Following is the Company's revenue recognition policy for IP licensing.
The Company accounts for its IP license revenues and related services in accordance with Financial Accounting Standard Board or FASB Accounting Standards Codification or ASC No. 985-605, Software Revenue Recognition. Revenues are recognized when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists and no further obligation exists, delivery has occurred, the license fee is fixed or determinable, and collection is reasonably assured. A license may be perpetual or time limited in its application. The Company’s IP license agreement contains multiple elements including post-contract customer support. For multiple element arrangements involving software and other software-related deliverables, vendor-specific objective evidence of fair value (“VSOE”) must exist to allocate the total fee among all delivered and non-essential undelivered elements of the arrangement. If undelivered elements of the arrangement are essential to the functionality of the product, revenue is deferred until the essential elements are delivered. If VSOE does not exist for one or more non-essential undelivered elements, revenue is deferred until such evidence exists for the undelivered elements, or until all elements are delivered, whichever is earlier. VSOE of each element is based on historical evidence of stand-alone sales of these elements to third parties including substantive renewal rate as stated in the agreement. When VSOE does not exist for undelivered items, the entire arrangement fee is recognized ratably over the performance period.
As the IP license agreement entered into during the quarter ended April 2, 2017 is the first such revenue agreement, no VSOE exists for any of the elements. Accordingly, the Company is recognizing revenue associated with this contract ratably over the performance period.
New Accounting Pronouncements
Recently adopted accounting pronouncements:
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory (Topic 330): Simplifying the measurement of Inventory, which amends the accounting guidance on the valuation of inventory. The guidance requires an entity to measure in scope 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 amendment applies to inventory valued at first-in, first-out or average cost. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company adopted this guidance in the first quarter of 2017 prospectively with no material effect on the consolidated financial statements.
Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606), which supersedes nearly all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The core principle of ASU 2014-09 is to recognize revenues when promised goods or services are transferred to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled for those goods or services. ASU 2014-09 defines a five-step process to achieve this core principle and, in doing so, more judgment and estimates may be required within the revenue recognition process than are required under existing GAAP. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one-year delay in the effective date by issuing ASU 2015-09, Revenue from Contracts with customers. ASU 2014-09 is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods within that reporting period. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the adoption of ASU 2014-09 on its consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02, Leases. The new standard establishes a right-of-use ("ROU") model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense

NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08, Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net. The amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by amending certain existing illustrative examples and adding additional illustrative examples to assist in the application of the guidance. The effective date and transition of these amendments is the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09. Public entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity). Private entities must apply the amendments one year later. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-12, Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606): Narrow Scope Improvements and Practical Expedients. The amendments among other things: (1) clarify the object of the collectability criterion for applying paragraph 606-10-25-7; (2) permit an entity to exclude amounts collected from customers for all sales (and other similar) taxes from transaction price; (3) specify that the measurement date for noncash consideration is contract inception; (4) provide a practical expedient that permits an entity to reflect the aggregate effect of all modifications that occur before the beginning of the earliest period presented when identifying the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations, determining the transaction price, and allocating the transaction price to the satisfied and unsatisfied performance obligations; (5) clarify that a completed contract for purposes of transition is a contract for which all (or substantially all) of the revenue was recognized under legacy GAAP before the date of initial application, and (6) clarify that an entity that retrospectively applies the guidance in Topic 606 to each prior period reporting is not required to disclose the effect of the accounting change for the period of adoption. This amendment is effective for public entities for annual reports beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods therein. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments. This update clarifies how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the statement of cash flows. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and for interim periods therein with early adoption permitted and must be applied retrospectively to all periods presented. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity transfers of assets other than inventory. This update removes the requirement under which the income tax consequences of intra-entity transfers are deferred until the assets are ultimately sold to an outside party, except for transfers of inventory. The tax consequences of such transfers would be recognized in tax expense when the transfers occur. The standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those annual periods. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
In May 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-09, Compensation-Stock Compensation (Topic 718). ASU No. 2017-09 provides clarification on when modification accounting should be used for changes to the terms or conditions of a share-based payment award. This ASU does not change the accounting for modifications but clarifies that modification accounting guidance should only be applied if there is a change to the value, vesting conditions or award classification and would not be required if the changes are considered non-substantive. The amendments of this ASU are effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on the consolidated financial statements.
Other new accounting pronouncements are disclosed on the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2017 filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017.

Note 3 — Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net loss per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method. In computing diluted net loss per share, the weighted average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and warrants.
For the three and six month periods ended July 2, 2017 and July 3, 2016, 6.9 million and 7.3 million of common shares associated with equity awards and the estimated number of shares to be purchased under the current offering period of the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan were outstanding, respectively. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share as they were considered anti-dilutive due to net loss the Company experienced during these periods. Warrants issued in conjunction with the June 2012 financing to purchase up to 2.3 million shares of common stock expired in June 2017.

We enable OEMs to maximize battery life for highly differentiated, immersive user experiences with Smartphone, Wearable, Hearable, Tablet and IoT devices. We deliver these benefits through industry leading ultra-low power customer programmable SoC semiconductor solutions, embedded software, and algorithm solutions for always-on voice and sensor processing, and enhanced visual experiences. In addition to delivering our own semiconductor solutions, we have an IP business that licenses our eFPGA technology for use in other semiconductor companies SoCs.
We are also a fabless semiconductor company that designs, markets, and supports primarily silicon solutions, as well as FPGAs, software drivers, associated design software and programming hardware, and eFPGA IP called ArcticPro. Our solutions are created from our new silicon platforms including our EOS™, ArcticLink® III, PolarPro®3, PolarPro II, PolarPro, and Eclipse II products (which together comprise our new product category). Our mature products include primarily pASIC®3 and QuickRAM® as well as programming hardware and design software.
Our semiconductor solutions typically fall into one of three categories: Sensor Processing, Display and Visual Enhancement, and Smart Connectivity. Our solutions include a unique combination of our silicon platforms, IP, custom logic, software drivers, and in some cases, firmware, and application software. All of our silicon platforms are standard devices and must be programmed to be effective in a system. Our IPs range from those that enable always-on context-aware sensor applications, such as our FFE, and our Sensor Manager and Communications Manager technologies, to IP that (i) improves multimedia content, such as our VEE technology, and DPO; and (ii) implements commonly used mobile system interfaces, such as LVDS, MIPI, and SDIO. We provide complete solutions by first architecting the solution jointly with our customer's or ecosystem partner’s engineering group, selecting the appropriate solution platform and IPs, providing custom logic, integrating the logic, programming the device with the IPs and/or firmware, providing software drivers or application software required for the customer's application, and supporting the customer on-site during integration, verification and testing.

We also work with mobile processor manufacturers, sensor manufacturers, and/or voice recognition, sensor fusion and context awareness algorithm developers in the development of reference designs, QVLs, or “Catalog” solutions. Through reference designs that incorporate our solutions, we believe mobile processor manufacturers, sensor manufacturers, and sensor algorithm companies can expand the served available market for their respective products. Furthermore, should a solution development for a processor manufacturer or sensor and/or sensor algorithm company be applicable to a set of common OEMs or ODMs, we can amortize our R&D investment over that set of OEMs/ODMs. We call this type of solution a Catalog solution and we are placing a greater emphasis on developing and marketing these types of solutions.
In order to grow our revenue from its current level, we depend upon increased revenue from our new products, including existing new product platforms, eFPGA IP and platforms currently in development. We expect our business growth to be driven by silicon solutions and eFPGA IP and therefore our solutions revenue growth needs to be strong enough to enable us to sustain profitability while we continue to invest in the development, sales and marketing of our new solution platforms and IPs. The gross margin associated with our solutions is generally lower than the gross margin of our FPGA products, which is primarily due to the price sensitive nature of the higher volume mobile consumer opportunities that we are pursuing with our solutions. The gross margin from our eFPGA IP licensing is generally higher than the gross margins of our semiconductor devices due to the nature of IP having a lower cost of sales. We started recognizing revenue from eFPGA IP licensing from the first quarter of 2017.
We continue to seek to expand our revenue, including pursuing high-volume sales opportunities in our target market segments, by providing solutions incorporating our intellectual property, or industry standard interfaces. Our industry is characterized by intense price competition and by lower margins as order volumes increase. While winning large volume sales opportunities will increase our revenue, we believe these opportunities may decrease our gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
During the second quarter of 2017, we generated total revenue of $3.0 million. This represents a decrease of 5% from the prior quarter and an increase of 11% from the second quarter of 2016. Our new product revenue was $1.5 million, a decrease of 22% from the prior quarter and an increase of 25% from the second quarter of 2016. The sequential decrease was primarily due to lower shipments of ArcticLink III and Eclipse II products and the year over year increase was primarily due to new eFPGA IP license revenue. We anticipate new product revenue generated from our display bridge solution and smart connectivity solutions will continue to fluctuate depending on the demand in the Android tablet market.
For the second quarter of 2017, revenue generated from Samsung accounted for 43% of our new product revenue and 21% of our total revenue compared to 37% and 22%, respectively, for the first quarter of 2017. During the second quarter of 2017, we shipped new products into the tablet, smartphone and mobile enterprise markets. Our mature product revenue was $1.5 million, an increase of 22% from the prior quarter and 1% from the second quarter of 2016. We expect our mature product revenue to continue to fluctuate over time.
We devote substantially all of our development, sales and marketing efforts to our new sensor processing solutions using our EOS TM S3 platforms, derivative products based on software-driven features, development of additional new products and solution platforms, and to our new eFPGA IP licensing initiative. Overall, we reported a net loss of $3.6 million for the second quarter of 2017 compared to a net loss of $5.6 million for the second quarter of 2016. The decrease in loss was primarily due to strategic re-alignment measures we initiated in the second half of 2016 through the second quarter of 2017 and the improved gross margins due to better product mix, which includes new IP license revenue.
Critical Accounting Estimates
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial statements. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our critical policies include revenue recognition, valuation of inventories, including identification of excess quantities and product obsolescence, valuation of investments, valuation of long-lived assets, measurement of stock-based compensation and estimation of accrued liabilities. We believe that we apply judgments and estimates in a consistent manner and that this consistent application results in consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that fairly represent all periods presented. However, any factual errors or errors in these judgments and estimates may have a material impact on our financial statements. During the three and six months ended July 2, 2017, there were no changes in our critical

accounting policies from our disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017. For a discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates, please see Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2017, filed with the SEC on March 9, 2017. From the first quarter of 2017, we started recognizing revenue from licensing of eFPGA IP. See Note 2 of the Notes to Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for three and six months ended July 2, 2017 for the Company's IP licensing revenue recognition policy.

Three Months Ended July 2, 2017 and July 3, 2016
Revenue
The table below sets forth the changes in revenue for the three months ended July 2, 2017, as compared to the three months ended July 3, 2016 (in thousands, except percentage data):

| Three Months Ended |  |  |  |
| July 2, 2017 |  | July 3, 2016 |  | Change
| Amount |  | % of Total Revenues |  | Amount |  | % of Total Revenues |  | Amount |  | Percentage
Revenue by product line (1): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
New products | $ | 1,491 |  |  | 49 | % |  | $ | 1,197 |  |  | 44 | % |  | $ | 294 |  |  | 25 | %
Mature products | 1,535 |  |  | 51 | % |  | 1,520 |  |  | 56 | % |  | 15 |  |  | 1 | %
Total revenue | $ | 3,026 |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 2,717 |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 309 |  |  | 11 | %

_________________
(1) For all periods presented: New products include all products manufactured on 180 nanometer or smaller semiconductor processes. eFPGA IP license revenue is also included in new product revenue. Mature products include all products produced on semiconductor processes larger than 180 nanometers.
The $294,000 increase in new product revenue was primarily due to new eFPGA IP license revenue recognized in the second quarter of 2017. Revenue from Samsung in the second quarter of 2017 was $635,000 compared to $855,000 in the second quarter of 2016.
Gross Profit
The table below sets forth the changes in gross profit for the three months ended July 2, 2017 as compared to the three months ended July 3, 2016 (in thousands, except percentage data):

| Three Months Ended |  |  |  |
| July 2, 2017 |  | July 3, 2016 |  | Change
| Amount |  | % of Total Revenues |  | Amount |  | % of Total Revenues |  | Amount |  | Percentage
Revenue | $ | 3,026 |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 2,717 |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 309 |  |  | 11 | %
Cost of revenue | 1,646 |  |  | 54 | % |  | 1,941 |  |  | 71 | % |  | (295 | ) |  | (15 | )%
Gross Profit | $ | 1,380 |  |  | 46 | % |  | $ | 776 |  |  | 29 | % |  | $ | 604 |  |  | 78 | %

The $604,000 or 17% increase in gross profit was primarily due to the generation of eFPGA IP license revenue, which has high gross margin. Further, in the second quarter of 2016, there was an inventory write-off of $232,000, which reduced gross margins in the prior year period. There was no inventory write-off in the second quarter of 2017. The sale of previously reserved inventory was $37,000 and $28,000 in the second quarters of 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Our semiconductor products have historically had long product life cycles and obsolescence has not been a significant factor in the valuation of inventories. However, as we continue to pursue opportunities in the mobile market and develop new solutions and products, our product life cycle will be shorter and the risk of obsolescence will increase. In general, our standard manufacturing lead times are longer than the binding forecasts we receive from customers.
In accordance with new accounting standard ASU No. 2015-11, Inventory, which came into effect in the first quarter of 2017, we review the cost of inventories and purchase commitments against estimated net realizable value (previously market value) and record a lower of cost or net realizable value (previously market value) for inventories that have a cost in excess of net realizable value (previously market value). This could have a material impact on our gross margin and inventory balances based on additional write-downs to net realizable value or a benefit from inventories previously written down. The adoption of this new accounting standard has no impact on our gross margins or consolidated financial statements.

Operating Expenses
The table below sets forth the changes in operating expenses for the three months ended July 2, 2017, as compared to the three months ended July 3, 2016 (in thousands, except percentage data):

| Three Months Ended |  |  |  |
| July 2, 2017 |  | July 3, 2016 |  | Change
| Amount |  | % of Total Revenues |  | Amount |  | % of Total Revenues |  | Amount |  | Percentage
R&D expense | $ | 2,319 |  |  | 77 | % |  | $ | 3,683 |  |  | 136 | % |  | $ | (1,364 | ) |  | (37 | )%
SG&A expense | 2,614 |  |  | 86 | % |  | 2,591 |  |  | 95 | % |  | 23 |  |  | 1 | %
Total operating expenses | $ | 4,933 |  |  | 163 | % |  | $ | 6,274 |  |  | 231 | % |  | $ | (1,341 | ) |  | (21 | )%

Research and Development
Our research and development, or R&D, expenses consist primarily of personnel, overhead and other costs associated with engineering process improvements, sensor hub and algorithm development, programmable logic design, CSSP design and software development. The $1.4 million decrease in R&D expenses in the second quarter of 2017, as compared to the second quarter of 2016, was primarily attributable to our strategic re-alignment measures implemented in the second half of 2016 through the first half of 2017, which resulted in reduction of compensation-related costs,including stock-based compensation, by $710,000, and reduction of outside services expenses of approximately $276,000. Further, in the second quarter of 2016, there was a mask-set write-off of $312,000, which resulted in higher R&D costs in the prior year.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses consist primarily of personnel and related overhead costs for sales, marketing, finance, administration, human resources and general management. SG&A expenses in the second quarter of 2017 increased slightly when compared to the second quarter of 2016 due to higher outside services expenses relating to our sensor processing solutions.
Interest Expense and Interest Income and Other (Expense), Net
The table below sets forth the changes in interest expense and interest income and other (expense), net for the three months ended July 2, 2017 as compared to the three months ended July 3, 2016 (in thousands, except percentage data):

| Three Months Ended |  | Change
| July 2, 2017 |  | July 3, 2016 |  | Amount |  | Percentage
Interest expense | $ | (21 | ) |  | $ | (34 | ) |  | $ | 13 |  |  | (38 | )%
Interest income and other (expense), net | 1 |  |  | (15 | ) |  | 16 |  |  | (107 | )%
| $ | (20 | ) |  | $ | (49 | ) |  | $ | 29 |  |  | (59 | )%

We conduct a portion of our research and development activities in India and we have sales and marketing activities in various countries outside of the United States. Most of these international expenses are incurred in local currency. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses are included in net interest and other income (expense), as they occur. We do not use derivative financial instruments to hedge our exposure to fluctuations in foreign currency and, therefore, our results of operations are, and will continue to be, susceptible to fluctuations in foreign exchange gains or losses. Historically, impact of foreign exchange fluctuations on the profit or loss has been immaterial.

_________________
(1) For all periods presented: New products include all products manufactured on 180 nanometer or smaller semiconductor processes. eFPGA IP license revenue is also included in new product revenue. Mature products include all products produced on semiconductor processes larger than 180 nanometers.
The $714,000 increase in new product revenue was primarily due to increased shipment of display bridge product of ArcticLink III and new eFPGA IP license revenue recognized in the first six months of 2017. Revenue from Samsung in the first six months of 2017 was $1.3 million compared to $1.9 million in the first six months of 2016. The $185,000 decrease in mature product revenue was primarily due to decreased orders from our customers in the aerospace, test and instrumentation sectors. We anticipate that our revenue from tablets and mature products will continue to fluctuate.
Gross Profit
The table below sets forth the changes in gross profit for the six months ended July 2, 2017, as compared to the six months ended July 3, 2016 (in thousands, except percentage data):

Research and Development
Our research and development, or R&D, expenses consist primarily of personnel, overhead and other costs associated with engineering process improvements, sensor hub and algorithm development, programmable logic design, CSSP design and software development. The $2.4 million decrease in R&D expenses in the first six months of 2017, as compared to the first six months of 2016, was primarily attributable to our strategic re-alignment measures implemented in the second half of 2016 through the first half of 2017, which resulted in a reduction of compensation-related costs, including stock-based compensation by $1.4 million and other operating expenses by approximately $1.0 million.
Selling, General and Administrative Expense
Our selling, general and administrative, or SG&A, expenses consist primarily of personnel and related overhead costs for sales, marketing, finance, administration, human resources and general management. The $256,000 decrease in SG&A expenses in the first six months of 2017, as compared to the first six months of 2016, was primarily due to a decrease of compensation-related costs, including stock-based compensation expenses as a result of our strategic re-alignment measures implemented in the second half of 2016.

Provision for income taxes | $ | 70 |  |  | $ | 91 |  |  | $ | (21 | ) |  | (23 | )%

The income tax provisions for the first six months of 2017 and 2016 were primarily from our foreign subsidiaries, which are cost plus entities.
As of July 2, 2017, our ability to utilize our income tax loss carryforwards in future periods is uncertain, and accordingly, we recorded a full valuation allowance against the related U.S. tax provision. We will continue to assess the realizability of deferred tax assets in future periods.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operating losses and capital investments through sales of common stock, capital and operating leases, a revolving line of credit and cash flows from operations. As of July 2, 2017, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of our cash and cash equivalents of $22.2 million and $6.0 million in available credit under our revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank, which matures on September 25, 2017. As of the date hereof, we have drawn down all of the $6.0 million in credit currently available under this revolving line of credit. Additionally, we have an accumulated deficit of approximately $247 million. We have experienced net losses in past years and expect such losses to continue through at least the current fiscal year ending December 31, 2017, as we continue to develop new products, applications and technologies.
On September 25, 2015, we entered into a Second Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement (the "Loan Agreement") with Silicon Valley Bank (the "Bank") to extend the line of credit for two years through September 25, 2017. The Second Amendment to the Loan Agreement provides for committed loan advances of up to $6.0 million, subject to increases at our election of up to $12.0 million and also modified some of the financial covenants. On February 10, 2016, we entered into a Third Amendment to the Loan Agreement to further modify certain financial covenants. See Note 5 of the notes to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details on Loan Agreement.
On March 28, 2017, we issued 11.3 million shares of common stock at a price of $1.50 per share, $0.001 par value. We received net proceeds of approximately $15.8 million, after deducting underwriting commissions and other offering-related expenses. We expect to use the net proceeds for working capital, to accelerate the development of next generation products and for general corporate purposes. We may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire and/or license technologies and acquire and/or invest in businesses when the opportunity arises; however, we currently have no commitments or agreements and are not involved in any negotiations with respect to any such transactions.. These shares were offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement filed on December 9, 2016 with the SEC, as amended on March 17, 2017, which was declared effective by the SEC on March 16, 2017, and as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated March 23, 2017 filed with the SEC pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
As of July 2, 2017, most of our cash and cash equivalents were invested in JP Morgan US Government money market funds rated AAAm/Aaa. As of July 2, 2017, our interest-bearing debt consisted of $296,000 outstanding under capital leases and $6.0 million outstanding under our revolving line of credit.
Cash balances held at our foreign subsidiaries were approximately $838,000 and $544,000 at July 2, 2017 and January 1, 2017, respectively. Earnings from our foreign subsidiaries are currently deemed to be indefinitely reinvested. We do not expect such reinvestment to affect our liquidity and capital resources, and we continually evaluate our liquidity needs and ability to meet global cash requirements as a part of our overall capital deployment strategy. Factors that affect our global capital deployment strategy include anticipated cash flows, the ability to repatriate cash in a tax-efficient manner, funding requirements for operations and investment activities, acquisitions and divestitures and capital market conditions.

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

| Six Months Ended
| July 2, 2017 |  | July 3, 2016
Net cash used in operating activities | $ | (7,758 | ) |  | $ | (9,562 | )
Net cash used in investing activities | (48 | ) |  | (1,513 | )
Net cash provided by financing activities | 15,170 |  |  | 10,909 |

Net cash used in operating activities
Net cash used in operating activities was $7.8 million in the first six months of 2017. The cash used in operating activities was a result of the net loss of $7.2 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $2.1 million, partially offset by non-cash charges of $1.5 million. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation of $665,000, depreciation and amortization of $709,000, and a write-down of inventory of $104,000. The cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities was mostly due to an increase in inventory of $1.4 million to build up new product inventory, an increase in trade receivable of $212,000 due to timing of shipments, decrease of trade payables by $846,000, which was partially offset by an increase of other liabilities and deferred revenue of $152,000, and a decrease of other assets and other long-term liabilities of $265,000 and $14,000, respectively.
Net cash used in operating activities was $9.6 million in the first six months of 2016. The cash used in operating activities was a result of the net loss of $10.7 million, and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $1.1 million, partially offset by $2.2 million of net non-cash charges. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation of $1.0 million, depreciation and amortization of $631,000, a write-down of inventory of $235,000, and write-down of equipment. The cash used in operating assets and liabilities was mostly due to a decrease of trade payable of $1.8 million due to timing of the payment cycle, partially offset by a decrease in other current assets of $357,000, a decrease in inventory of $325,000 as a result of sales of existing new inventory, and a decrease in trade receivable of $116,000 due to the timing of payments.
Net cash used in investing activities
Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2017 was $48,000, which was primarily due to cash used to pay computer and test equipment associated with the EOS TM S3 hardware and software development and production. Capital expenditures, which are largely driven by the development of new products and manufacturing levels, are projected to be approximately $481,000 during the remainder of the 2017 fiscal year.
Net cash used in investing activities in the first six months of 2016 was $1.5 million, which was primarily driven by the capital expenditure payments associated with the EOS TM S3 hardware, including a mask set and software development and production.
Net cash provided by financing activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $15.2 million in the first six months of 2017, which was primarily derived from the net proceeds of $15.8 million related to the issuance of 11.3 million shares of common stock in March 2017 pursuant to a shelf registration statement that became effective on March 16, 2017, and proceeds from the issuance of common stock under our equity plans of $305,000, which was partially offset by scheduled repayments of $299,000 for lease obligations and stock issuance expenses accrued in the first quarter, but paid in the second quarter of $529,000.
Net cash provided by financing activities was $10.9 million in the first six months of 2016, which was primarily derived from the net proceeds of $8.8 million related to the issuance of 10.0 million shares of common stock pursuant to a shelf registration statement filed with SEC, proceeds of $343,000 from the issuance of common stock under our equity plans and proceeds of $2.0 million from our line of credit, partially offset by scheduled repayments of $238,000 for lease obligations.
We currently use our cash to fund capital expenditures and operations. Based on past operating performance and current annual operating plans, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financial resources from the revolving line of credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, and proceeds received from our sale of common

stock in March 2017, will be sufficient to fund our operations and capital expenditures, and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months from the date the condensed unaudited consolidated financial statements as of and for the six-month period ended July 2, 2017 are available to be issued.
The Company also believes that it will have sufficient capital to satisfy its operations and capital expenditures requirements in the long term through the sales generated from its new product offerings, existing cash and cash equivalents, financial resources from its revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank and additional capital it can raise in the public capital markets. However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital, if required, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. The inability of the Company to generate sufficient sales from its new product offerings and/or raise additional capital if needed could have material adverse effects on the Company’s operations and financial condition, which could further affect its ability to comply with financial covenants in the credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank.
Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments
The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of July 2, 2017 and the effect such obligations and commitments are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future fiscal periods (in thousands):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — (Continued)
Concentration of Suppliers
We depend on a limited number of contract manufacturers, subcontractors, and suppliers for wafer fabrication, assembly, programming and testing, and for the supply of programming equipment. These services are typically provided by one supplier for each of our devices. We generally purchase these single or limited source services through standard purchase orders. Because we rely on independent subcontractors to perform these services, we cannot directly control product delivery schedules, costs or quality levels. Our future success also depends on the financial viability of our independent subcontractors. The decision not to provide these services to us or the inability to supply these services to us, such as in the case of a natural or financial disaster, would have a significant impact on our business. In addition, these subcontracted manufacturers produce products for other companies and we must place orders up to several months in advance of expected delivery. Increased demand from other companies could result in these subcontract manufacturers allocating available capacity to customers that are larger or have long-term supply contracts in place and we may be unable to obtain adequate foundry and other capacity at acceptable prices, or we may experience delays or interruption in supply. As a result, we have only a limited ability to react to fluctuations in demand for our products, which could cause us to have an excess or a shortage of inventories of a particular product. Additionally, volatility of economic, market, social and political conditions in countries where these suppliers operate may be unpredictable and could result in a reduction in product revenue or increase our cost of revenue and could adversely affect our business, financial condition and results of operations.
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not maintain any off-balance sheet partnerships, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others, often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements
See Note 2 to the Condensed Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements for a description of recent accounting pronouncements, including the respective dates of adoption and expected effects on the results of our operations and financial condition.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market rate risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our investment portfolio and variable rate debt. We do not use derivative financial instruments to manage our interest rate risk. We are averse to principal loss and ensure the safety and preservation of invested funds by limiting default, market risk and reinvestment risk. Our investment portfolio is generally comprised of investments that meet high credit quality standards and have active secondary and resale markets. Since these securities are subject to interest rate risk, they could decline in value if interest rates fluctuate or if the liquidity of the investment portfolio were to change. Due to the short duration and conservative nature of our investment portfolio, we do not anticipate any material loss with respect to our investment portfolio. A 10% move in interest rates as of the end of the second quarter of 2017 would have had an immaterial effect on our financial position, results of operations and cash flows.
Foreign Currency Exchange Rate Risk
All of our sales and costs of manufacturing are transacted in U.S. dollars. We conduct a portion of our research and development activities in India and have sales and marketing offices in several locations outside of the United States. We use the U.S. dollar as our functional currency. Most of the costs incurred at these international locations are in local currency. If these local currencies strengthen against the U.S. dollar, our payroll and other local expenses will be higher than we currently anticipate. Since our sales are transacted in U.S. dollars, this negative impact on expenses would not be offset by any positive effect on revenue. Operating expenses denominated in foreign currencies were approximately 24% and 15% of total operating expenses for the first six months of 2017 and 2016, respectively. A currency exchange rate fluctuation of 10% would have caused our operating expenses to change by approximately $231,000 in the first six months of 2017.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on management's evaluation as of July 2, 2017, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended) were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and frauds. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
