QUICKLOGIC COR PORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED 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 algorithm solutions for always-on voice and sensor processing, and enhanced visual experiences. The Company is a fabless semiconductor provider of comprehensive, flexible sensor processing solutions, ultra-low power display bridges, and ultra-low power Field Programmable Gate Arrays, or FPGAs. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SensiML Corporation, or SensiML, provides Analytics Toolkit, which is used in many of the applications where the Company’s ArcticPro™ eFPGA intellectual property, or IP plays a critical role. SensiML Analytics toolkit is an end-to-end software suite that provides OEMs a straightforward process for developing pattern matching sensor algorithms using machine learning technology that are optimized for ultra-low power consumption.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles, or U.S. GAAP, and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The Company recommends that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2018, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission, or SEC, on March 15, 2019, as amended. Operating results for the three months ended March 31, 2019 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 first fiscal quarters for 2019 and for 2018 ended on March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, respectively.

Liquidity

The Company has financed its operations and capital investments through sales of common stock, finance leases, bank lines of credit and cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2019, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of $23.2 million, including $15.0 million drawn down from its revolving line of credit with Heritage Bank of Commerce (“Heritage Bank”). The maturity date for loans under this revolving facility (the “Revolving Facility”) is September 28, 2020.

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

Over the longer term, the Company anticipates that sales generated from its new product offerings, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from its Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank, assuming renewal of the Revolving Facility or the Company entering into a new debt agreement with an alternative lender prior to the expiration of the revolving line of credit in September 2020, 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.

QUICKLOGIC CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

Principles of Consolidation

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

Foreign Currency

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

Uses of Estimates

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

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

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

Concentration of Risk

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

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies

During the three-month period ended March 31, 2019, there were no changes in the Company's significant accounting policies from its disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 30, 2018 except the new accounting standards adopted during the first quarter of 2019. For a discussion of the significant accounting policies, please see the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2019, as amended.

Revenue Recognition

Under the Accounting Standards Codification, or ASC, Topic No. 606, revenue is recognized upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration the Company expects to receive in exchange for those products or services.

8

QUICKLOGIC CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

The Company determines revenue recognition through the following steps:

| • | Identification of the contract, or contracts, with a customer

| • | Identification of the performance obligations in the contract

| • | Determination of the transaction price

| • | Allocation of the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract

| • | Recognition of revenue when, or as, we satisfy a performance obligation

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

Product Revenue

The Company generates most of its revenue by supplying standard hardware products, which must be programmed before they can be used in an application. The Company’s products may be programmed by itself, distributors, end-customers or third parties. The Company’s contracts with customers are generally for products only, and do not include other performance obligations such as services, extended warranties or other material rights.

The Company recognizes hardware product revenue at the point of time when control of products is transferred to the customers, when the performance obligation is satisfied, which typically occurs upon shipment from the Company’s manufacturing site or its headquarters

Intellectual Property and Software License Revenue

The Company also generates revenue from licensing IP, software tools and royalty from licensing its technology.

The Company recognizes IP and Software License revenue at the point of time when the control of IP or software license has been transferred.

Some of the IP and Software Licensing contracts with customers contain multiple performance obligations. For these contracts, the Company accounts for individual performance obligations separately if they are distinct. The transaction price is allocated to the separate performance obligations on a relative standalone selling price basis. The Company determines the standalone selling prices based on the Company’s overall pricing objectives, taking into consideration market conditions and other factors, including the value of the Company’s contracts, type of the customer, customer tier, type of the technology used, customer demographics, geographic locations, and other factors.

Maintenance Revenue

The Company recognizes revenue from maintenance ratably over the term of the underlying maintenance contract term. Renewals of maintenance contracts create new performance obligations that are satisfied over the term with the revenues recognized ratably over the term.

Royalty Revenue

The Company recognizes royalty revenue when the later of the following events occurs:

a) The subsequent sale or usage occurs.

9

QUICKLOGIC CORPORATION

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

b) The performance obligation to which some or all of the sales-based royalty has been allocated has been satisfied.

Deferred Revenue

Receivables are recognized in the period we ship the product. Payment terms on invoiced amounts are based on contractual terms with each customer. When the Company receives consideration, or such consideration is unconditionally due, prior to transferring goods or services to the customer under the terms of a sales contract, the Company records deferred revenue, which represents a contract liability. The Company recognizes deferred revenue as net sales once control of goods and/or services have been transferred to the customer and all revenue recognition criteria have been met and any constraints have been resolved. The Company defers the product costs until recognition of the related revenue occurs.

Assets Recognized from Costs to Obtain a Contract with a Customer

The Company recognizes an asset for the incremental costs of obtaining a contract with a customer if it expects the benefit of those costs to be longer than one year. The Company has concluded that none of the costs it has incurred to obtain and fulfil its revenue contracts meet the capitalization criteria, and as such, there are no costs deferred at March 31, 2019.

Practical expedients and exemptions

(i) Taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities and that are related to the sales of the Company’s products are excluded from revenues.

(ii) Sales commissions are expensed when incurred because the amortization period would have been one year or less. These costs are recorded in selling, general and administrative expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Income.

(iii) The Company does not disclose the value of unsatisfied performance obligations for (i) contracts with original expected lengths of one year or less or (ii) contracts for which the Company recognizes revenue at the amount to which it has the right to invoice for the services performed.

Cost of revenue

The Company records all costs associated with its product sales in cost of revenue. These costs include the cost of material, contract manufacturing costs and quality assurance. Cost of revenue also includes indirect costs such as warranty, excess and obsolete charges, general overhead costs and depreciation.

Leases

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and related ASUs, which provide supplementary guidance and clarifications on December 31, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of the first quarter of 2019. Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedient approach and did not reassess whether any contracts that existed prior to adoption have or contain leases or the classification of our existing leases.

Under Topic 842, all significant lease arrangements are generally recognized at lease commencement. Operating lease right-of-use, or ROU, assets and lease liabilities are recognized at the commencement date. A ROU asset and corresponding lease liability is not recorded for leases with an initial term of 12 months or less (short term leases) and the Company recognizes lease expense for these leases as incurred over the lease term.

ROU assets represent our right to use an underlying asset during the reasonably certain lease terms and lease liabilities represent our obligation to make lease payments arising from the lease. The Company’s lease terms may include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise that option. Operating lease ROU assets and liabilities are recognized at commencement date based on the present value of lease payments over the lease term. The Company primarily uses its incremental borrowing rate, based on the information available at commencement date, in determining the present value of lease payments. The operating lease ROU asset also includes any lease payments related to

initial direct cost and prepayments and excludes lease incentives. Lease expense is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. The Company has lease agreements with lease and non-lease components, which are generally accounted for separately. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Comp any recognized right-of-use assets of approximately $975,000 and lease liabilities of approximately $939,000 on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019, with no material impact to its Consolidated Statements of operations.

Business Combinations

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

Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill represents the excess fair value of consideration transferred over the fair value of net assets acquired in business combinations. The carrying value of goodwill and indefinite lived intangible assets are not amortized, but are annually tested for impairment and more often if there is an indicator of impairment.

Intangible assets with finite useful lives are amortized on a straight-line basis over the periods benefited. The Company reviews the recoverability of its long-lived assets when events or changes in circumstances occur that indicate that the carrying value of the asset or asset group may not be recoverable. The assessment of possible impairment is based on the Company's ability to recover the carrying value of the asset or asset group from the expected future pre-tax cash flows (undiscounted and without interest charges) of the related operations. If these cash flows are less than the carrying value of such asset, an impairment loss is recognized for the difference between estimated fair value and carrying value. The measurement of impairment requires management to estimate future cash flows and the fair value of long-lived assets.

Restricted cash

Restricted cash represents amounts pledged as cash security related to the Silicon Valley Bank credit cards.

New Accounting Pronouncements

Recently adopted accounting pronouncements:

In February 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-02, Income Statement - Reporting Comprehensive Income. The new standard provides companies with an option to reclassify stranded tax effects resulting from enactment of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act, or TCJA, from accumulated other comprehensive income to retained earnings. The guidance will be effective for the Company beginning in the first quarter of 2019 with early adoption permitted, and would be applied either in the period of adoption or retrospectively to each period (or periods) in which the effect of the change in the tax rate as a result of TCJA is recognized. The Company adopted this ASU on December 31, 2018 with no material impact on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

In March 2018, FASB issued ASU No. 2018-05, Income Taxes (Topic 740). The new standard allows to insert the SEC’s interpretive guidance from Staff Accounting Bulletin, or SAB, No.118 into the income tax accounting codification under U.S. GAAP. The ASU permits companies to use provisional amounts for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act during a one-year measurement period. The provisional accounting impacts for the Company may change in future reporting periods until the accounting analysis is finalized, which will occur no later than the first quarter of fiscal 2019. The Company completed SAB No.118 analysis with no material impact to the consolidated financial statements.

In June 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-07, Improvements to nonemployee share-based payment accounting. Currently, share-based payments to nonemployees are accounted for under Subtopic 505-50, which significantly differs from the guidance for share-based payments to employees under Topic 718. This ASU supersedes Subtopic 505-50 by expanding the

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

scope of Topic 718 to include nonemployee awards and generally aligning the accounting for nonemployee aw ards with the accounting for employee awards. The effective date for public companies is for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, and interim periods within those fiscal years. For all other entities, the effective date is fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The Company adopted this ASU on December 31, 2018 with no material impact on its results of operations, financial position and cash flows.

Recently issued accounting pronouncements not yet adopted:

In August 2018 the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-13, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Disclosure Framework - Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Fair Value Measurement. This new standard modifies certain disclosure requirements on fair value measurements. This new standard will be effective for public companies on January 1, 2020. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on the consolidated financial statements.

Other new accounting pronouncements are disclosed on the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2018 filed with the SEC on March 15, 2019, as amended.

Note 3 — Net Loss Per Share

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

For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, 8.4 million and 7.5 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 the net losses the Company experienced during these periods. Warrants to purchase up to 5.4 million shares were issued in connection with May 29, 2018 stock offering were also not included in the diluted loss per share calculation of the first quarter ended March 31, 2019 as they were also considered anti-dilutive due to the net loss the Company experienced during these periods.

Note 5 — Business Acquisition

SensiML Acquisition

On January 3, 2019, the Company entered into a stock purchase agreement (the “Stock Purchase Agreement”) with SensiML for the purchase of all of its issued and outstanding common stock in exchange for the Company’s common stock.

SensiML has a software toolkit enabling IoT developers to quickly and easily create smart devices, transforming rich sensors into actionable event detectors.

SensiML’s Analytics Toolkit is an end-to-end software suite that provides OEMs a straightforward process for developing pattern matching sensor algorithms using machine learning technology that are optimized for ultra-low power consumption. The SensiML Analytics Toolkit enables OEMs to quickly and easily leverage the power of local AI in edge, endpoint and wearable designs without the need for significant Data Science or Firmware Engineering resources.

The results of operations for the Company for the three months ended March 31, 2019 include operating activity for SensiML since its acquisition date of January 3, 2019. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, revenues attributable to SensiML were included in the consolidated results of operations were not significant. For the three months ended March 31, 2019, operations included charges of $38,000, attributable to amortization of purchased intangible assets and $104,000 of deal costs associated with the acquisition. Deal costs are included in general and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated results of operations.

Purchase Price Allocation

Under the purchase accounting method, the total preliminary purchase price was allocated to SensiML’s net tangible and intangible assets based upon their estimated fair values as of the acquisition date. The excess purchase price over the value of the net tangible and identified intangible assets was recorded as goodwill. During the measurement period, which can be no more than one year from the date of acquisition, the Company expects to continue to obtain information to determine the final fair value of the net assets acquired at the acquisition date during the measurement period. Assets acquired and liabilities assumed are recorded based on valuations derived from estimated fair value assessments and assumptions used by the Company. Thus, the provisional measurements of fair value discussed above are subject to change. The Company expects to finalize the valuation as soon as practicable, but not later than one year from the acquisition date. While the Company believes that its estimates and assumptions underlying the valuations are reasonable, different estimates and assumptions could result in different valuations assigned to the individual assets acquired and liabilities assumed, and the resulting amount of goodwill.

Intangible assets associated with the acquisition is primarily attributable to the future technology, market presence and knowledgeable and experienced workforce. The fair value assigned to identifiable intangible assets acquired was determined using the income approach taking into account the Company’s consideration of a number of inputs, including an independent third-party analysis that was based upon estimates and assumptions provided by the Company. These estimates and assumptions were determined through established and generally accepted valuation techniques. The estimated fair value of the tangible and intangible assets acquired was allocated at SensiML’s acquisition date. Although goodwill is not amortized for financial accounting purposes, it is amortized in its entirely for tax purposes over fifteen years. Goodwill recognized upon acquisition is not expected to be deductible for income tax purposes.

The Stock Purchase Agreement contains customary representations and warranties between the Company and SensiML, who agreed to indemnify each other for certain breaches of representations, warranties, covenants and other specified matters. Approximately $200,000 in value of the Company’s common stock of the purchase price was placed in escrow as security for post-closing working capital adjustments.

The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement as of the end of the current reporting period.

Loans under the Revolving Facility bear interest at a rate equal to one half of one percentage point (0.50%) above the variable rate of interest, per annum, that appears in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, whether or not such announced rate is the lowest rate available from Heritage Bank. As of March 31, 2019 and December 30, 2018, the Company had $15.0 million of revolving debt outstanding with an interest rate of 6.0% per annum.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Company's closing stock price of $0.61 as of March 31, 2019, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date.

The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018 was $0 as the stock price was lower than exercise price. Total cash received from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises during the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018 was approximately $3,600 and $0, respectively. The Company settles employee stock option exercises with newly issued common shares. In connection with these exercises, there was no tax benefit realized by the Company due to the Company's current loss position. Total stock-based compensation related to stock options was $25,000 and $38,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, respectively.

Restricted Stock Units

The Company grants restricted stock units or RSUs, to employees and board of directors with various vesting terms. RSUs entitle the holder to receive, at no cost, one common share for each RSU as it vests. In general, the Company's policy is to withhold shares in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of RSUs. The stock-based compensation related to RSUs was $877,000 and $295,000 for three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, respectively. As of March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, there was $3.2 million and $2.4 million, respectively, in unrecognized compensation expense related to RSUs. The remaining unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is expected to be recorded over a weighted average period of 1.75 years.

A summary of activity for the Company's RSUs for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and information regarding RSUs outstanding and expected to vest as of March 31, 2019 is as follows:

NOTES TO UNAUDITED CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)

As of March 31, 2019, 1.2 million shares remained available for issuance under the 2009 ESPP. For the three months ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018, the Company recorded stock-based compensation expense relate d to the 2009 ESPP of $49,000 and $54,000 respectively.

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

|  | Three Months Ended |
|  | March 31, 2019 |  |  | April 1, 2018 |
Expected term (months) |  |  | 6.0 |  |  |  | 6.0 |

As of March 31, 2019, the unrecognized stock-based compensation expense relating to the Company's 2009 ESPP was $24,000 and is expected to be recognized over a weighted average period of approximately 1.5 months.

Note 13 — Income Taxes

The Company recorded a net income tax benefit of $268,000 for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and tax expense of $61,000 for the three months ended April 1, 2018. A majority of the income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2019 relates to the deferred tax benefit arising from Intangible assets acquired from the acquisition of SensiML, which was offset by the income taxes from the Company's foreign subsidiaries, which are cost-plus entities.

The Company believes it is more likely than not that federal and state net deferred tax assets will not be fully realized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, the Company’s management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of our deferred tax assets will be realized. The ultimate realization of deferred tax assets is dependent upon the generation of future taxable income during the periods in which those temporary differences become deductible. A valuation allowance is recorded for loss carryforwards and other deferred tax assets where it is more likely than not that such deferred tax assets will not be realized. Accordingly, the Company continues to maintain a valuation allowance against all of U.S. and certain foreign net deferred tax assets as of March 31, 2019. The Company continues to maintain a full valuation allowance against net federal, state and certain foreign deferred tax assets until there is sufficient evidence to support recoverability of the Company’s deferred tax assets.

The Company had no unrecognized tax benefits as of March 31, 2019 and December 30, 2018, which would affect the Company's effective tax rate. The Company does not anticipate any material changes to its unrecognized tax benefits during the next 12 months.

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

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

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

The Company has not undertaken a study to determine if its net operating losses are limited. In the event the Company previously experienced an ownership change, or should experience an ownership change in the future, the amount of net

20

Overview

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

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

Our solutions typically fall into one of three categories: Sensor Processing, Display and Visual Enhancement, and Smart Connectivity. Our solutions include a unique combination of our silicon platforms, IP cores, software drivers, and in some cases, firmware and application software. All of our silicon platforms are standard devices and must be programmed to be effective in a system. Our IP that enables always-on context-aware sensor applications includes our Flexible Fusion Engine, our

24

Sensor Manager and Communications Manager technologies as well as IP that (i) improves multimedia content, such as our Visual Enhanc ement Engine, or VEE, technology, and Display Power Optimizer, or DPO, technology; and (ii) implements commonly used mobile system interfaces, such as Low Voltage Differential Signalling, or LVDS, Mobile Industry Processor Interface, or MIPI, and Secure Di gital Input Output, or SDIO. We provide complete solutions by first architecting the solution jointly with our customer’s or ecosystem partner’s engineering group, selecting the appropriate solution platform and Proven System Blocks, or PSBs, providing cus tom logic, integrating the logic, programming the device with the PSBs and/or firmware, providing software drivers or application software required for the customer’s application, and supporting the customer on-site during integration, verification and tes ting. In many cases, we deliver software algorithms that have been optimized for use in a QuickLogic silicon platform.

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

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

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

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

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

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

During the first quarter of 2019, we generated total revenue of $3.2 million, which was flat compared to the fourth quarter of 2018 and represents an increase of 16% compared to the first quarter of 2018. Our new product revenue in the first quarter was $687,000, a decrease of 48% from the prior quarter and 47% from the first quarter of 2018. Our mature product revenue was $2.5 million in the first quarter of 2019, which represents an increase of 32% from the prior quarter and 71% compared to the first quarter of 2018. We expect our mature product revenue to continue to fluctuate over time.

We devote substantially all of our development, sales and marketing efforts to our new sensor processing solutions using our EOSTM S3 platforms, derivative products based on software-driven features, development of additional new products and solution platforms, our new eFPGA IP licensing and QuickAI initiatives. Overall, we reported a net loss of $3.5 million for

25

the first quarter of 2019 compared to a net loss of $4.0 million for the first quarter of 2018. First quarter 2019 net loss includes operating expen ses relating to the new subsidiary SensiML totaling $779,000.

On January 3, 2019, we acquired all of SensiML’s issued and outstanding common stock in exchange for the Company’s common stock. SensiML will operate as one of our divisions, and continue to develop, expand, and optimize its platform-independent software solutions to support SoCs from other semiconductor companies as well as our SoCs, QuickAI™ Platforms and licensees of our ArcticPro™ eFPGA IP.

Critical Accounting Estimates

The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial statements. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our critical policies include revenue recognition, valuation of inventories, including identification of excess quantities and product obsolescence, valuation of investments, valuation of long-lived assets, valuation of goodwill and intangible assets, including the estimate of related useful lives, measurement of stock-based compensation and estimation of accrued liabilities. We believe that we apply judgments and estimates in a consistent manner and that this consistent application results in consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that fairly represent all periods presented. However, any factual errors or errors in these judgments and estimates may have a material impact on our financial statements. During the three months ended March 31, 2019, there were no changes in our critical accounting policies from our disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2019, as amended, except for the new accounting standards adopted in the first quarter of 2019 as described in Note 2 to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019, and except for our estimates relating to goodwill and intangible assets associated with the acquisition of SensiML on January 3,2019, as described in Note 5 to the condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019. For a discussion of critical accounting policies and estimates, please see Item 7 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 30, 2018, filed with the SEC on March 15, 2018, as amended. See also Note 2 and 5 to the Unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for three months ended March 31, 2019 for the details of the newly adopted accounting standards and acquisition of SensiML.

The Company adopted Accounting Standards Update, or ASU, No. 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842) and related ASUs, which provide supplementary guidance and clarifications on December 31, 2018, utilizing the modified retrospective transition method through a cumulative-effect adjustment at the beginning of the first quarter of 2019. Additionally, the Company elected the practical expedient approach and did not reassess whether any contracts that existed prior to adoption have or contain leases or the classification of our existing leases. Upon adoption of ASU 2016-02, the Company recognized right-of-use assets of approximately $975,000 and lease liabilities of approximately $939,000 on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets as of March 31, 2019, with no material impact to its Consolidated Statements of operations. See Note 2 and 8 to the Unaudited Consolidated Financial Statements as of and for the three months ended March 31, 2019 for the details.

Three Months Ended March 31, 2019 and April 1, 2018

Revenue

The table below sets forth the changes in revenue for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the three months ended April 1, 2018 (in thousands, except percentage data):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | March 31, 2019 |  |  | April 1, 2018 |  |  | Change |
|  | Amount |  |  | % of Total Revenues |  |  | Amount |  |  | % of Total Revenues |  |  | Amount |  |  | Percentage |
Revenue by product line (1): |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
New products |  | $ | 687 |  |  |  | 22 | % |  | $ | 1,300 |  |  |  | 47 | % |  | $ | (613 | ) |  |  | (47 | )%

Total revenue |  | $ | 3,194 |  |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 2,764 |  |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 430 |  |  |  | 16 | %

(1) | For all periods presented: New products include all products manufactured on 180 nanometer or smaller semiconductor processes. eFPGA IP license, QuicK AI and Software revenues are also included in new product revenue. Mature products include all products produced on semiconductor processes larger than 180 nanometer.

The net decrease of $613,000 in new product revenue was primarily due to decrease in connectivity and display revenue, which was partially offset by Quick AI and sensor processing solutions revenue. The $1.0 million increase in mature product revenue was primarily driven by higher shipments to military, aviation and industrial products.

27

Gross Profit

The table below sets forth the changes in gross profit for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended April 1, 2018 (in thousands, except percentage data):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |  |
|  | March 31, 2019 |  |  | April 1, 2018 |  |  | Change |
|  | Amount |  |  | % of Total Revenues |  |  | Amount |  |  | % of Total Revenues |  |  | Amount |  |  | Percentage |
Revenue |  | $ | 3,194 |  |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 2,764 |  |  |  | 100 | % |  | $ | 430 |  |  |  | 16 | %
Cost of revenue |  |  | 1,215 |  |  |  | 38 | % |  |  | 1,375 |  |  |  | 50 | % |  |  | (160 | ) |  |  | (12 | )%
Gross Profit |  | $ | 1,979 |  |  |  | 62 | % |  | $ | 1,389 |  |  |  | 50 | % |  | $ | 590 |  |  |  | 42 | %

The $590,000 or 12% increase in gross profit was primarily due to increase in shipments of mature products that carried high margins. In the first quarter of 2019, mature product revenue consists 78% of total revenue compared to 53% in the first quarter of 2018. The sale of previously reserved inventory was $32,000 and $49,000 in the first quarters of 2019 and 2018, 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.

Operating Expenses

The table below sets forth the changes in operating expenses for the three months ended March 31, 2019, as compared to the three months ended April 1, 2018 (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 SoC software, Quick AI, and eFPGA development. The $543,000 increase in R&D expenses in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to the first quarter of 2018, was primarily attributable to the addition of personnel acquired as a result of the acquisition of SensiML in January 2019.

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 $115,000 decrease in SG&A expenses in the first quarter of 2019, as compared to the first quarter of 2018 was primarily attributable to lower compensation expenses as a result of reduced headcount and lower costs of outside services. Acquisition costs relating to the acquisition of SensiML are not material.

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 March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended April 1, 2018 (in thousands, except percentage data):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Change |
|  | March 31, 2019 |  |  | April 1, 2018 |  |  | Amount |  |  | Percentage |
Interest expense |  | $ | (83 | ) |  | $ | (24 | ) |  | $ | (59 | ) |  |  | 246 | %
Interest income and other (expense), net |  |  | 48 |  |  |  | (14 | ) |  |  | 62 |  |  |  | (443 | )%
|  | $ | (35 | ) |  | $ | (38 | ) |  | $ | 3 |  |  |  | (8 | )%

Interest expense relates primarily to the Company's line of credit facility. Interest income relates to the short-term investments of our surplus cash in Money Market funds.

Provision for Income Taxes

The table below sets forth the changes in the provisions for income tax for the three months ended March 31, 2019 as compared to the three months ended April 1, 2018 (in thousands, except percentage data):

|  | Three Months Ended |  |  | Change |
|  | March 31, 2019 |  |  | April 1, 2018 |  |  | Amount |  |  | Percentage |
Provision for income taxes |  | $ | (268 | ) |  | $ | 61 |  |  | $ | (329 | ) |  |  | (539 | )%

For the three months ended March 31, 2019, the Company recorded a net income tax benefit of $268,000 and tax expense of $61,000 for the three months ended April 1, 2018. The majority of the income tax benefit for the first quarter of 2019 relates to the deferred tax benefit arising from Intangibles assets acquired from the acquisition of SensiML offset by the income taxes from the Company's foreign subsidiaries, which are cost-plus entities.

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

Liquidity and Capital Resources

We have financed our operating losses and capital investments through sales of common stock, finance leases, a revolving line of credit and cash flows from operations. As of March 31, 2019, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $23.2 million and $15.0 million line of credit with Heritage Bank of Commerce. The previous line of credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank, which matured on September 24, 2018 was fully paid off in July 2018.

We currently use our cash to fund our capital expenditure and operating losses. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financial resources from the Revolving Facility with the Heritage Bank will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditure and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months.

On September 28, 2018, we entered into a Loan and Security Agreement, or Loan Agreement, with the Heritage Bank of Commerce or the Heritage Bank. The Loan Agreement provided for, among other things, a revolving line of credit facility, or Revolving Facility, with aggregate commitments of $9,000,000. The maturity date for loans under the Revolving Facility is September 28, 2020. Loans under the Revolving Facility will bear interest at a rate equal to one half of one percentage point (0.50%) above the variable rate of interest, per annum, that appears in The Wall Street Journal from time to time, whether or not such announced rate is the lowest rate available from the Heritage Bank.

On December 21, 2018, we entered into an Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement, or the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement with the Heritage Bank to replace in its entirety the Loan and Security Agreement entered on September 28, 2018. The Amended and Restated Loan Agreement increases the Revolving Facility from $9,000,000 to

29

$15,000,000. T he Amended and Restated Loan Agreement requires us to maintain at least $3,000,000 in unrestricted cash at the Heritage Bank. We were in compliance with all loan covenants under the Amended and Restated Loan Agreement as of the end of the c urrent reporting period. As of March 31, 2019, we had $15.0 million of outstanding revolving line of credit with an interest rate of 6%.

In May 2018, we issued an aggregate of 13.5 million shares of common stock, and warrants to purchase up to an aggregate of 5.4 million shares of common stock in an underwritten public offering at a combined price of $1.15 per Unit. We received total net proceeds of $13.9 million from the offering. See Note 11 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the details.

We used the net proceeds from these public offerings for working capital, to accelerate the development of next generation products and for general corporate purposes.

Over the longer term, we anticipate that the generation of sales from our new product offerings, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from our Revolving Facility with the Heritage Bank and our ability to raise additional capital in the public capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy our operations and capital expenditures. Our Revolving Facility with the Heritage Bank will expire in September 2020 and we would need to renew this line of credit or find an alternative lender prior to the expiration date. Further, any violations of debt covenants may restrict our access to any additional cash draws from the revolving line of credit, and may require our immediate repayment of the outstanding debt amounts. We believe that we will be able to either renew the Revolving Facility or obtain alternative financing on the acceptable terms. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital, if required, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to us. Our inability to generate sufficient sales from our new product offerings and/or raise additional capital if needed could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition, including our ability to maintain compliance with our lender’s financial covenants.

As of March 31, 2019, most of our cash and cash equivalents were invested in the money market account of the Heritage Bank. As of March 31, 2019, our interest-bearing debt consisted of $350,000 outstanding under finance leases and $15.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Facility. See Note 7 and 8 to the Consolidated Financial Statements for more details.

Cash balances held at our foreign subsidiaries were approximately $948,000 and $656,000 at March 31, 2019 and December 30, 2018, 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):

|  | Three Months Ended |
|  | March 31, 2019 |  |  | April 1, 2018 |
Net cash used in operating activities |  | $ | (2,916 | ) |  | $ | (3,754 | )
Net cash used in investing activities |  |  | (91 | ) |  |  | (48 | )
Net cash used by financing activities |  |  | (237 | ) |  |  | (164 | )

Net cash used in operating activities

Net cash used in operating activities was $2.9 million in the first three months of 2019. The cash used in operating activities was a result of the net loss of $3.5 million during this period and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $481,000, which was partially offset by non-cash charges of $1.3. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation of $951,000, which includes $514,0000 related to new employees as a result of the acquisition of SensiML, depreciation and amortization of $292,000, and a write-down of inventory of $80,000. The cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities was mostly due to an increase of trade receivable of $242,000 due to timing of shipments, an increase of other assets of $344,000 and a decrease of accrued liabilities of 391,000, which was partially offset by a decrease of inventory of $185,000 and an increase of trade payables of $327,000. During the first quarter of 2019, we received a tax benefit of $282,000 arising from the intangible assets due to the acquisition of SensiML.

30

Net cash used in operating activities was $3.8 million in the first three months of 2018. The cash used in operating activities was a result of the net loss of $4.0 million and changes in operating assets and liabiliti es of $602,000, which was partially offset by non-cash charges of $818,000. Non-cash charges consisted primarily of stock-based compensation of $432,000, depreciation and amortization of $339,000, and a write-down of inventory of $42,000. The cash used by changes in operating assets and liabilities was mostly due to an increase of other assets of $609,000 due to prepayments of leases and other expenses, an increase of accounts receivable of $329,000 due to timing of shipments, a decrease of trade payable of $6,000 and an increase in inventory of $33,000, which was partially offset by an increase of accrued liabilities of $324,000, and an increase of other long term liabilities of $51,000.

Net cash used in investing activities

Net cash used in investing activities in the first three months of 2019 was $91,000, which was primarily due to cash used to pay for computer and test equipment associated with software development of $111,000, which was partially offset by cash received as a result of SensiML acquisition of $20,000. Capital expenditures, which are largely driven by the leasehold improvements in our new leased premises, development of new products and computer equipment are projected to be approximately $343,000 during the remainder of the 2019 fiscal year.

Net cash used in investing activities in the first three months of 2018 was $48,000, which was primarily due to cash used to pay computer and test equipment associated with software development and production.

Net cash used in financing activities

Net cash used in financing activities was $237,000 in the first three months of 2019, which was primarily derived from the proceeds of $12 million from the Revolving Facility with the Heritage Bank, which was offset by repayments of $12 million, scheduled repayments of $74,000 for finance lease obligations and tax payments related to net settlement of stock awards of $167,000.

Net cash used in financing activities was $164,000 in the first three months of 2018, which was primarily due to repayments of $123,000 for lease obligations and tax payments related to net settlement of stock awards of $41,000.

We currently use our cash to fund capital expenditures and operations. Based on past operating performance and current annual operating plans, we believe that the generation of sales from our new product offerings, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from our Revolving Facility with the Heritage Bank and our ability to raise additional capital in the public capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy our operations and capital expenditures, and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months from the date the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements as of and for the three-month period ended March 31, 2019. Our Revolving Facility will expire in September 2020 and we would need to renew this line of credit or find an alternative lender prior to the expiration date. Further, any violations of debt covenants before the expiration of the Revolving Facility may restrict our access to any additional cash draws from the Revolving Facility and may require our immediate repayment of the outstanding debt amounts. We believe that we will be able to either renew the Revolving Facility or obtain alternative financing on acceptable terms. We cannot provide any assurance that we will be able to raise additional capital, if required, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to us. Our inability to generate sufficient sales from our new product offerings and/or raise additional capital if needed could have a material adverse effect on our operations and financial condition, including our ability to maintain compliance with our lender’s financial covenants.

Contractual Obligation s and Commercial Commitments

The following table summarizes our contractual obligations and commercial commitments as of March 31, 2019 and the effect such obligations and commitments are expected to have on our liquidity and cash flows in future fiscal periods (in thousands):

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

(2) | Other commercial commitments are included as liabilities on our balance sheet as of March 31, 2019.

Concentration of Suppliers

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

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

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

Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements

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

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitati ve 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 third quarter of 2018 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 28% of total operating expenses for the first three months of 2019 and 2018, respectively. A currency exchange rate fluctuation of 10% would have caused our operating expenses to change by approximately $137,000 in the first three months of 2019.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on management's evaluation as of March 31, 2019, 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.
