NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Basis of Presentation and Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

Basis of presentation. The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated interim financial statements of FormFactor, Inc. and our subsidiaries have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”) and pursuant to the instructions to Form 10-Q and Article 10 of Regulation S-X of the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”). Our interim financial statements do not include all of the information and footnotes required by generally accepted accounting principles for annual financial statements. In the opinion of management, all adjustments (consisting only of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary to fairly present our financial position, results of operations and cash flows have been included. Operating results for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending December 27, 2014, or for any other period. The balance sheet at December 28, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements at that date but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The condensed consolidated financial statements include our accounts as well as those of our wholly-owned subsidiaries after elimination of all inter-company balances and transactions.

The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the amounts reported in our condensed consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes. Actual results could differ from those estimates, and may result in material effects on our consolidated operating results and financial position.

These financial statements and notes should be read with the consolidated financial statements and notes for the year ended December 28, 2013 included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on March 7, 2014.

Fiscal year. We operate on a 52/53 week fiscal year, whereby the fiscal year ends on the last Saturday of December. Fiscal 2014 and 2013 each contain 52 weeks and the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 each contained 13 and 26 weeks, respectively. Fiscal 2014 will end on December 27, 2014.

Critical Accounting Policies. Our critical accounting policies have not changed during the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013.

Reclassifications. Certain reclassifications have been made to the prior year's Consolidated Balance Sheet to conform to the current period presentation.

Note 2 — Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers". The guidance requires an entity to recognize revenue to depict the transfer of goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which an entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. The guidance also requires expanded disclosures relating to the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. Additionally, qualitative and quantitative disclosures are required about customer contracts, significant judgments and changes in judgments, and assets recognized from the costs to obtain or fulfill a contract. The standard permits the use of either the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method.

This guidance will replace most existing revenue recognition guidance in United States generally accepted accounting principles when it becomes effective, which for us will be at the beginning of the first quarter of fiscal year 2017 using one of two prescribed transition methods. Early adoption is not permitted. We are evaluating the impact of the revenue recognition guidance on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures. We have not yet selected a transition method nor have we determined the effect of the standard on our ongoing financial reporting.

Note 3 — Concentration of Credit and Other Risks

Financial instruments that potentially subject us to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of cash equivalents, marketable securities and trade receivables. Our cash equivalents and marketable securities are held in safekeeping by large,

credit worthy financial institutions. We invest our excess cash primarily in U.S. banks, government and agency bonds, money market funds and corporate obligations. We have established guidelines relative to credit ratings, diversification and maturities that seek to maintain safety and liquidity. Deposits in these banks may exceed the amounts of insurance provided on such deposits. To date, we have not experienced any losses on our deposits of cash and cash equivalents.

We market and sell our products to a narrow base of customers and generally do not require collateral. The following customers accounted for more than 10% of our revenues for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013		June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013
SK Hynix	21.4	%	20.1	%	19.5	%	19.7	%
Intel	19.5		14.6		18.0		16.1
Micron	12.2		*		13.5		*
	53.1	%	34.7	%	51.0	%	35.8	%


*	Less than 10% of revenues.

At June 28, 2014, two customers accounted for 22% and 14% of gross accounts receivable. At December 28, 2013, three customers accounted for approximately 21%, 15% and 11% of gross accounts receivable. No other customers accounted for more than 10% of gross accounts receivable at either of these fiscal period ends. We operate in the intensely competitive semiconductor industry, including the Dynamic Random Access Memory, or DRAM, Flash memory, and System-on-Chip, or SoC markets, which have been characterized by price erosion, rapid technological change, short product life, cyclical market patterns and heightened foreign and domestic competition. Significant technological changes in the industry could adversely affect our operating results.

Certain components for our wafer probe card products that meet our requirements are available only from a limited number of suppliers. The rapid rate of technological change and the necessity of developing and manufacturing products with short life cycles may intensify our reliance on such suppliers. The inability to obtain components as required, or to develop alternative sources, if and as required in the future, could result in delays or reductions in product shipments, which in turn could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows.

Note 4 — Goodwill and Intangible Assets

Goodwill recorded from the acquisition of MicroProbe on October 16, 2012 was $30.7 million as of June 28, 2014 and remained unchanged from the amounts recorded as of December 28, 2013. The Company has not recorded any historical goodwill impairments as of June 28, 2014.

The changes in intangible assets during the six months ended June 28, 2014 and the net book value of intangible assets as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013 were as follows (in thousands):



	Intangible Assets, Gross Amount						Accumulated Amortization						Intangible Assets, Net				Weighted Average Useful Life
Other Intangible Assets (1)	December 28, 2013		Additions/Disposals		June 28, 2014		December 28, 2013		Expense, net		June 28, 2014		December 28, 2013		June 28, 2014		June 28, 2014

Customer relationships	17,000		—		17,000		2,581		1,126		3,707		14,419		13,293		6.3
Total finite-lived intangible assets	72,636		—		72,636		22,066		10,144		32,210		50,570		40,426
In-process research and development	6,900		—		6,900		—		—		—		6,900		6,900
Total intangible assets	$	79,536	$	—	$	79,536	$	22,066	$	10,144	$	32,210	$	57,470	$	47,326

(1) Excludes fully amortized intangible assets

The in-process research and development ("IPR&D") assets are classified as indefinite lived intangible assets that are not currently subject to amortization but are reviewed for impairment whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that the carrying value of such assets may not be recoverable. The IPR&D assets will be subject to amortization upon completion of their respective research projects and at the start of commercialization. The fair values assigned to IPR&D assets were determined using the income approach based on estimates and judgments regarding risks inherent in the development process, including the likelihood of achieving technological success and market acceptance. If an IPR&D project is abandoned, the acquired technology attributable to the project will be expensed in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations.

For the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, amortization expense of $4.4 million and $0.7 million, and $8.8 million and $1.4 million, respectively, was included in the cost of revenues and selling, and general and administrative expenses. For the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, amortization expense of $3.4 million and $0.8 million, and $7.0 million and $1.5 million, respectively, was included in cost of revenues and selling, general and administrative expenses.

Based on the carrying values of the finite-lived intangible assets recorded as of June 28, 2014 and assuming no subsequent additions to or impairment of the underlying assets, the remaining estimated annual amortization expense is expected to be as follows (in thousands):



Fiscal Year	Amount
2014	$	8,637
2015	12,739
2016	8,720
2017	2,551
2018	2,501
and thereafter	5,278
Total	$	40,426

Note 5 — Restructuring Charges

Restructuring charges include costs related to employee termination benefits, cost of long-lived assets abandoned or impaired, as well as contract termination costs. Restructuring charges are reflected separately as "Restructuring charges, net" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations. A summary of the actions we have taken during the six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, the purpose of which were to improve operating efficiency, streamline and simplify our operations and reduce our operating costs, are discussed below.

2014 Restructuring Activities

On January 27, 2014, we announced a global organizational restructuring and cost reduction plan (the "Q1 2014 Restructuring Plan"). As part of the plan, the Company eliminated 52 full-time employees. In addition, we reduced our temporary workforce by 9 positions. We recorded $2.0 million of restructuring charges during the first fiscal quarter of fiscal 2014, which was comprised of $1.4 million in severance and related benefits and $0.6 million in impairment charges for certain equipment that would no longer be utilized. During the three months ended June 28, 2014, we eliminated an additional 2 full-time employees and recorded $59 thousand in severance charges.

The liabilities we accrued represent our best estimate of the obligations we expect to incur and could be subject to adjustment as market conditions change. The activities comprising these restructuring activities and the related cash payments were completed and paid by June 28, 2014.

2013 Restructuring Activities

$4.0 million of restructuring charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, which was comprised of $1.3 million in severance and related benefits and $2.7 million in impairment charges for certain equipment that would no longer be utilized. In the

second quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded $0.1 million of severance and related benefits due to the reduction of 4 employees across the organization. The activities comprising these restructuring activities were completed in fiscal 2013.

The activities in the restructuring accrual for the six months ended June 28, 2014 were as follows (in thousands):



	Employee Severance and Benefits			Property and Equipment Impairment			Total

Note 6 — Fair Value

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We measure and report certain assets and liabilities at fair value on a recurring basis, including money market funds, U.S. Treasury securities, agency securities, commercial paper and foreign currency derivatives (see Note 18 to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements - Derivative Financial Instruments, for a discussion of fair value of foreign currency derivatives).

Fair value measured on a recurring basis as of June 28, 2014 was as follows (in thousands):



	Level 1		Level 2		Total
Assets:
Cash equivalents
Money market funds	$	33,832	$	—	$	33,832

U.S. Treasuries	—		51,434		51,434
Agency securities (Federal)	—		27,748		27,748
Total	$	33,832	$	81,282	$	115,114

Fair value measured on a recurring basis as of December 28, 2013 was as follows (in thousands):



	Level 1		Level 2		Total
Assets:
Cash equivalents
Money market funds	$	27,943	$	—	$	27,943

Agency securities (Federal)	—		31,258		31,258
Total	$	27,943	$	91,895	$	119,838

The Level 1 assets consist of our money market fund deposits. The Level 2 assets consist of our available-for-sale investment portfolio, which are valued utilizing a market approach. Our investments are priced by pricing vendors who provided observable inputs for their pricing without applying significant judgment. Broker pricing is used mainly when a quoted price is not available, the investment is not priced by our pricing vendors or when a broker price is more reflective of fair values in the market in which the investment trades. Our broker-priced investments are labeled as Level 2 investments because fair values of these investments are based on similar assets without applying significant judgments. In addition, all of our investments have a sufficient level of trading volume to demonstrate that the fair values used are appropriate for these investments.

We did not have any transfers of assets measured at fair value on a recurring basis to or from Level 1 and Level 2 during each of the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013.

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Non-Recurring Basis

There were no assets measured at fair value on a nonrecurring basis during the three and six months ended June 28, 2014.

Note 7 — Marketable Securities

We classify our marketable securities as available-for-sale. All marketable securities represent the investment of funds available for current operations, notwithstanding their contractual maturities. Such marketable securities are recorded at fair value and unrealized gains and losses are recorded in accumulated other comprehensive income until realized.

Marketable securities at June 28, 2014 consisted of the following (in thousands):



	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
U.S. Treasuries	$	51,377	$	57	$	—		$	51,434
Agency securities (Federal)	27,748		1		(1		)	27,748
	$	79,125	$	58	$	(1	)	$	79,182

Marketable securities at December 28, 2013 consisted of the following (in thousands):



	Amortized Cost		Gross Unrealized Gains		Gross Unrealized Losses			Fair Value
U.S. Treasuries	$	48,991	$	33	$	(10	)	$	49,014
Commercial paper	11,623		—		—			11,623
Agency securities (Federal)	31,261		1		(4		)	31,258
	$	91,875	$	34	$	(14	)	$	91,895

The marketable securities with gross unrealized losses have been in a loss position for less than twelve months as of June 28, 2014 and December 28, 2013, respectively.

When evaluating the investments for other-than-temporary impairment, we review factors such as the length of time and extent to which fair value has been below the amortized cost basis, review of current market liquidity, interest rate risk, the financial condition of the issuer, as well as credit rating downgrades. We believe that the unrealized losses are not other-than-temporary. We do not have a foreseeable need to liquidate the portfolio and anticipate recovering the full cost of the securities either as market conditions improve or as the securities mature.

Contractual maturities of marketable securities as of June 28, 2014 were as follows (in thousands):



	Amortized Cost		Fair Value
Due in one year or less	$	51,744	$	51,765
Due after one year to five years	27,381		27,417
	$	79,125	$	79,182

Realized gains and losses on sales and maturities of marketable securities were immaterial for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively.

Note 11 — Long-lived Assets

Impairment of long-lived assets

During the three months ended June 28, 2014, we did not record any asset impairment charges. During the six months ended June 28, 2014, we recorded $0.7 million of impairments related to manufacturing assets we no longer utilize. During the three and six months ended June 29, 2013, we recorded $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, of impairments related to manufacturing assets we no longer utilize. These charges are included in "Impairments of long-lived assets" in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations in their respective periods.

During the three months ended June 28, 2014, we wrote-off fully depreciated assets with an acquired cost of $0.8 million.

Accumulated other comprehensive gain (loss)	$	213		$	(249	)

Note 13 — Stockholders’ Equity

Restricted Stock Units

Restricted stock unit activity under our equity incentive plans during the six months ended June 28, 2014 is set forth below:



	Units		Weighted Average Grant Date Fair Value
Restricted stock units at December 28, 2013	2,929,639		$	5.88
Awards granted	1,900,000		6.52
Awards vested	(1,142,158	)	6.40
Awards canceled	(234,981	)	6.00
Restricted stock units at June 28, 2014	3,452,500		$	6.05

On May 5, 2014, we issued 350,000 shares of restricted stock units to seven senior executives of our company that will vest based on certain market performance criteria. The performance criteria are based on the Company's Total Shareholder Return (TSR) for the period from April 1, 2014 to March 31, 2016 relative to the TSR of the companies identified as being part of the S&P Semiconductor Select Industry Index (FormFactor peer companies), as of April 1, 2014. The compensation cost will be recognized ratably over the requisite service period. As of June 28, 2014, we recorded $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense related to these awards.

The total fair value of restricted stock units vested during the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 was $4.3 million and $7.1 million, and $3.5 million and $5.7 million, respectively.

Stock Options

During the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, we did not grant any stock options.

Note 14 — Stock-Based Compensation

We account for all stock-based compensation to employees and directors, including grants of stock options, as stock-based compensation costs based on the fair value measured as of the date of grant. These costs are recognized as an expense in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations over the requisite service period.

The table below shows stock-based compensation charges included in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013		June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013

Employee Stock Purchase Plan

Under the 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan ("ESPP"), the offering periods are 12 months commencing on February 1 of each calendar year and ending on January 31 of the subsequent calendar year, and a six month fixed offering period commencing on August 1 of each calendar year and ending on January 31 of the subsequent calendar year. The 12 month offering period consists of two six month purchase periods and the six month offering period consists of one six month purchase period. The price of the common stock purchased is 85% of the lesser of the fair market value of the common stock on the first day of the applicable offering period or the last day of each purchase period.

During the three months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, we did not issue any ESPP shares. During the six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, we issued 320,919 and 286,928 ESPP shares, respectively.

The following weighted-average assumptions were used in estimating the fair value of employees' purchase rights under our approved employee stock purchase plans:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013		June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013
ESPP:

Expected term (in years)	0.50		0.50		1.00		1.00

Unrecognized Compensation Costs

At June 28, 2014, the unrecognized stock-based compensation, adjusted for estimated forfeitures, was as follows (in thousands):



	Unrecognized Expense		Average Expected Recognition Period in years
Stock options	$	336	0.64
Restricted stock units	12,499		1.60
Employee stock purchase plan	65		0.09
Total unrecognized stock-based compensation expense	$	12,900

Note 15 — Net Loss per Share

Basic net loss per share is computed by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding for the period. Diluted net loss per share for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, respectively, was

based only on the weighted-average number of shares outstanding during that period as the inclusion of any common stock equivalents would have been anti-dilutive.

A reconciliation of the numerator and denominator used in the calculation of basic and diluted net loss per share is as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013			June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013
Numerator:
Net loss used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share	$	(4,326	)	$	(8,407	)	$	(17,037	)	$	(28,180	)

Add potentially dilutive securities	—			—			—			—
Weighted-average shares used in computing basic and diluted net loss per share	55,812			54,105			55,431			53,886

The following table sets forth the weighted-average number of all potentially dilutive securities excluded from the computation in the table above because their effect would have been anti-dilutive (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended		Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2014	June 29, 2013	June 28, 2014	June 29, 2013
Options to purchase common stock	2,981	3,970	3,133	4,075

Employee stock purchase plan	26	31	16	18
Total potentially dilutive securities	3,007	4,524	3,152	4,715

Note 16 — Income Taxes

We recorded an income tax benefit of $51 thousand and a tax provision $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, respectively, and an income tax provision of $0.2 million and a tax benefit of $5 thousand, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013. Income tax provisions reflect the tax provision on our operations in the US and foreign jurisdictions and the tax benefit from the lapsing of the statute of limitations in foreign jurisdictions. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance for our U.S. Federal and state deferred tax assets.

Note 17 — Commitments and Contingencies

Contractual and purchase obligations

We lease facilities under non-cancellable operating leases with various expiration dates through 2021. The facilities generally require us to pay property taxes, insurance and maintenance costs. Further, several lease agreements contain rent escalation clauses or rent holidays. For purposes of recognizing minimum rental expenses on a straight-line basis over the terms of the leases, we use the date of initial possession to begin amortization. We have the option to extend or renew most of our leases, which may increase the future minimum lease commitments. Purchase obligations are primarily for purchases of inventory and manufacturing related service contracts. Purchase obligations are defined as agreements that are enforceable and legally binding and that specify all significant terms, including: fixed or minimum quantities to be purchased; fixed, minimum or variable price provisions; and the approximate timing of the transaction. Timing of payments and actual amounts paid may be different depending on the time of receipt of goods or services or changes to agreed-upon amounts for some obligations.

Our lease and purchase obligations have not materially changed during the six months ended June 28, 2014 from those disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013.

Environmental Matters

We are subject to U.S. federal, state and local, and foreign governmental laws and regulations relating to the protection of the environment, including those governing the discharge of pollutants into the air and water, the management and disposal of hazardous substances and wastes, the clean-up of contaminated sites and the maintenance of a safe workplace. We believe that we comply in all material respects with the environmental laws and regulations that apply to us, including those of the California Department of Toxic Substances Control, the Bay Area Air Quality Management District, the City of Livermore Water Resources Division, County of Santa Clara Department of Environmental Health, County of San Diego Hazardous Materials Division and Encino Water District, and the California Division of Occupational Safety and Health. We did not receive any notices of violations of environmental laws and regulations during the six months ended June 28, 2014, or in our fiscal 2013. We do not believe that any loss from environmental remediation liabilities would be in an amount material to our financial statements.

While we believe that we are in compliance in all material respects with the environmental laws and regulations that apply to us, in the future, we may receive environmental violation notices, and if received, final resolution of the violations identified by these notices could harm our operations, which may adversely impact our operating results and cash flows. New laws and regulations, amended enforcement practices around existing laws and regulations, the discovery of previously unknown contamination at our or others' sites or the imposition of new cleanup requirements could also harm our operations, thereby adversely impacting our operating results and cash flows.

Indemnification Arrangements

We have entered, and may from time to time in the ordinary course of our business enter, into contractual arrangements with third parties that include indemnification obligations. Under these contractual arrangements, we have agreed to defend, indemnify and/or hold the third party harmless from and against certain liabilities. These arrangements include indemnities in favor of customers in the event that our wafer probe cards infringe a third party's intellectual property and indemnities in favor of our lessors in connection with facility leasehold liabilities that we may cause. In addition, we have entered into indemnification agreements with our directors and certain of our officers, and our bylaws contain indemnification obligations in favor of our directors, officers and agents. These indemnity arrangements may limit the type of the claim, the total amount that we can be required to be paid in connection with the indemnification obligation and the time within which an indemnification claim can be made. The duration of the indemnification obligation may vary, and for most arrangements, survives the agreement term and is indefinite. We believe that substantially all of our indemnity arrangements provide either for limitations on the maximum potential future payments we could be obligated to make, or for limitations on the types of claims and damages we could be obligated to indemnify, or both. However, it is not possible to determine or reasonably estimate the maximum potential amount of future payments under these indemnification obligations due to the varying terms of such obligations, a lack of history of prior indemnification claims, the unique facts and circumstances involved in each particular contractual arrangement and in each potential future claim for indemnification, and the contingency of any potential liabilities upon the occurrence of events that are not reasonably determinable. We have not had any material requests for indemnification under these arrangements. Our management believes that any liability for these indemnity arrangements would not be material to our accompanying consolidated financial statements. We have not recorded any liabilities for these indemnification arrangements on our consolidated balance sheet as of June 28, 2014.

Legal Matters

From time to time, we may be subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. For the six months ended June 28, 2014, we were not involved in any material legal proceedings. We identify below in "Other Litigation", a proceeding filed in fiscal 2013, which, if not resolved amicably, either (i) includes allegations that could potentially result in a material legal proceeding, or (ii) the cost to defend the allegations through trial could be material. In the future we may become a party to additional legal proceedings that may require us to spend significant resources, including proceedings designed to protect our intellectual property rights. Litigation can be expensive and disruptive to normal business operations. Moreover, the results of legal proceedings are difficult to predict, and the costs incurred in litigation can be substantial, regardless of outcome.

Customs and Trade Matters

From time to time, we receive communications from certain jurisdictions regarding customs and indirect tax matters such as customs duties and value added taxes. For the six months ended June 28, 2014, we did not receive any communications from jurisdictions regarding any material customs duties or indirect tax matters.

Intellectual Property Litigation

In the ordinary course of business, the Company has been, currently is, and may in the future be, involved in commercial litigation relating to intellectual property, as well as third party initiated patent office proceedings in the United States and foreign patent offices.

No provision has been made for intellectual property litigation because we believe that it is not probable that a liability had been incurred as of June 28, 2014. We could incur material attorneys' fees in prosecuting and defending actions related to intellectual property.

Other Litigation

In August 2013, a former employee (“Plaintiff”) filed a class action lawsuit against the Company in the Superior Court of California, alleging violations of California’s wage and hour laws and unfair business practices on behalf of himself and all other similarly situated current and former employees at the Company’s Livermore facilities from August 21, 2009 to the present. In February 2014, the Court granted the Company’s motion to strike portions of Plaintiff’s first amended complaint, clarifying the scope of the putative class. A second amended complaint has also been filed. Procedurally, the case is in the early stages of litigation and no defined class has been certified. The parties participated in a mediation during the third quarter of fiscal 2014, which did not result in a settlement. The Company currently believes that any settlement reached would be in an amount that is not material to the Company's financial statements. The Company denies the allegations contained in the lawsuit and based on available information, believes it has significant defenses to the allegations of the lawsuit. If the matter is not settled, the Company could incur material attorneys’ fees in defending the lawsuit.

Note 18 — Derivative Financial Instruments

We operate and sell our products in various global markets. As a result, we are exposed to changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We utilize foreign currency forward contracts to hedge against future movements in foreign exchange rates that affect certain existing foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities. Under this program, our strategy is to have increases or decreases in our foreign currency exposures offset by gains or losses on the foreign currency forward contracts to mitigate the risks and volatility associated with foreign currency transaction gains or losses. We do not use derivative financial instruments for speculative or trading purposes. Our derivative instruments are not designated as hedging instruments. We record the fair value of these contracts as of the end of our reporting period to our Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheet with changes in fair value recorded within “Other income, net” in our Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations for both realized and unrealized gains and losses.

The following table provides information about our foreign currency forward contracts outstanding as of June 28, 2014 (in thousands):



Currency	Contract Position	Contract Amount (Local Currency)		Contract Amount (U.S. Dollars)
Japanese Yen	Sell	1,013,703		$	9,987
Taiwan Dollar	Buy	(23,963	)	(805		)
Korean Won	Buy	1,155,279		(1,143		)
Total USD notional amount of outstanding foreign exchange contracts				$	8,039

The contracts were entered into on June 27, 2014 and matured on July 25, 2014. Our foreign currency contracts are classified within Level 2 of the fair value hierarchy as they are valued using pricing models that utilize observable market inputs. There was no change in the value of these contracts as of June 28, 2014. Additionally, no gains or losses relating to the outstanding derivative contracts were recorded in the three and six months ended June 28, 2014.

The location and amount of gains and losses related to non-designated derivative instruments that matured in the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations are as follows (in thousands):

Overview

We design, develop, manufacture, sell and support precision, high performance advanced semiconductor wafer probe card products and solutions. We are the largest probe card manufacturer, and semiconductor manufacturers use our wafer probe cards to perform wafer sort and test on semiconductor die, or chips, prior to wafer singulation. During wafer sort and test, a wafer probe card is mounted on a prober and electrically connected to a semiconductor tester. The wafer probe card is used as an interface to connect electrically with and test individual chips on a wafer. Using our wafer probe cards to test at this stage of the manufacturing process, our customers can reduce their cost of test by identifying defective chips prior to incurring the time and costs of packaging defective chips. We work closely with our customers on product design, as each wafer probe card is a custom product that is specific to the chip and wafer designs of the customer. We operate in a single industry segment and have derived substantially all of our revenues from the sale of wafer probe cards incorporating our proprietary technology.

Historically, sales for wafer probe cards for testing Dynamic Random Access Memory, or DRAM, devices have made up the majority of our revenues. In October 2012, we completed the acquisition of Astria Semiconductor Holdings, Inc., including its subsidiary Micro-Probe Incorporated (together "MicroProbe"). The majority of MicroProbe's revenue is made up of sales of wafer probe cards for testing System-on-Chip, or SoC devices.

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 increased 7%, or approximately $4.6 million, and 7%, or approximately $8.0 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. For the three months ended June 28, 2014, our revenue increased 33% in our SoC products, decreased 1% in our DRAM products and decreased 48% in our Flash memory products, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 28, 2014, our revenues increased 23% in our SoC products, remained relatively unchanged in our DRAM products and decreased 34% in our Flash memory products, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

We incurred a net loss of $17.0 million in the first six months of fiscal 2014 as compared to a net loss of $28.2 million in the first six months of fiscal 2013. The decrease in net loss is primarily attributable to our ongoing cost reduction and restructuring efforts as well as increased revenues.

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and restricted cash totaled approximately $149 million as of June 28, 2014, as compared to approximately $152 million at December 28, 2013. The decrease in our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances was primarily due to the use of cash for operating activities in the first fiscal quarter of 2014. We

generated $5.0 million of cash in the second fiscal quarter of 2014. We believe that we will be able to satisfy our working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months with the liquidity provided by our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. If we are unsuccessful in increasing our revenues, improving our operating efficiency, reducing our cash outlays or increasing our available cash through financing, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will decline in future fiscal years.

We believe the following information is important to understanding our business, our financial statements and the remainder of this discussion and analysis of our financial condition and results of operations:

Revenues. We derive substantially all of our revenues from product sales of wafer probe cards. Revenues from our customers are subject to fluctuations due to factors including, but not limited to, design cycles, technology adoption rates, competitive pressure to reduce prices, cyclicality of the different end markets into which our customers' products are sold and market conditions in the semiconductor industry. Historically, increases in revenues have resulted from increased demand for our existing products, the introduction of new, more complex products and the penetration of new markets. We expect that revenues from the sale of wafer probe cards will continue to account for substantially all of our revenues for the foreseeable future.

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues consists primarily of manufacturing materials, payroll, shipping and handling costs, manufacturing-related overhead and amortization of certain intangible assets. Our manufacturing operations rely upon a limited number of suppliers to provide key components and materials for our products, some of which are a sole source. We order materials and supplies based on backlog and forecasted customer orders. Tooling and setup costs related to changing manufacturing lots at our suppliers are also included in the cost of revenues. We expense all warranty costs and inventory provisions as cost of revenues.

We design, manufacture and sell custom advanced wafer probe cards into the semiconductor test market, which is subject to significant variability and demand fluctuations. Our wafer probe cards are complex products that are custom to a specific chip design of a customer and must be delivered on relatively short lead-times as compared to our overall manufacturing process. As our advanced wafer probe cards are manufactured in low volumes and must be delivered on relatively short lead-times, it is not uncommon for us to acquire production materials and start certain production activities based on estimated production yields and forecasted demand prior to or in excess of actual demand for our wafer probe cards. We record an adjustment to our inventory valuation for estimated obsolete and non-sellable inventories based on assumptions about future demand, past usage, changes to manufacturing processes and overall market conditions.

Research and Development. Research and development expenses include expenses related to product development, engineering and material costs. Research and development costs are expensed as incurred. We plan to continue to invest in research and development activities to improve and enhance existing product technologies and to develop new technologies for current and new products and for new applications.

Selling, General and Administrative. Selling, general and administrative expenses include expenses related to sales, marketing, administrative personnel, internal and outside sales representatives' commissions, market research and consulting, and other sales, marketing, administrative activities, amortization of certain intangible assets, and provision for doubtful accounts. These expenses also include costs for protecting and enforcing our intellectual property rights and regulatory compliance costs.

Restructuring Charges. Restructuring charges include costs related to employee termination benefits, cost of long-lived assets abandoned or impaired, as well as contract termination costs.

Impairment of Long-Lived Assets. Asset impairment charges include charges associated with the write-down of assets that have no future expected benefit or for assets that have been determined to be impaired as well as adjustments to the carrying amount of our assets held for sale.

Total revenues	$	67,352	$	62,733	7.4	%	$	123,311	$	115,353	6.9	%

Revenues for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 increased 7%, or approximately $4.6 million, and 7%, or approximately $8.0 million, respectively, as compared to the corresponding periods in the prior year. For the three months ended June 28, 2014, our revenue increased 33% in our SoC products, decreased 1% in our DRAM products and decreased by 48% in our Flash memory products, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year. For the six months ended June 28, 2014, our revenues increased 23% in our SoC products, remained relatively unchanged in our DRAM products and decreased 34% in our Flash memory products, as compared to the corresponding period in the prior year.

The overall increase in revenues was primarily driven by higher unit volume in the SoC market based on a combination of strong application processors, personal computer processors, and automotive applications demand. DRAM demand and revenue was effectively flat period to period. The decrease in Flash memory revenue was due to weakening demand in the NOR market and reduced demand for our TouchMatrix product at a major South Korean NAND Flash memory producer in the six months ended June 28, 2014.

Revenues by Geographic Region

The following table sets forth our revenues by geographic region for the periods indicated:

(1)	Asia-Pacific includes all countries in the region except Taiwan, South Korea, and Japan, which are disclosed separately.

Geographic revenue information is based on the location to which we ship the customer product. For example, if a certain South Korean customer purchases through their North American subsidiary and requests the products to be shipped to an address in Asia-Pacific, this sale will be reflected in the revenue for Asia-Pacific rather than North America.

The increases in North America and Europe revenues for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, when compared to the same periods in 2013, were driven by increased SoC product shipments for both flip chip and wire bond applications. The decrease in Taiwan revenues for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, when compared to the same periods in 2013, was driven by a combination of decreased SoC product shipments and a decrease in commodity or personal computer based DRAM demand. The increase in South Korea revenues for the six months ended June 28, 2014 when compared to the same periods in 2013 was primarily due to increased mobile processor-based SOC product shipments. The increase in Japan revenues for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 was driven primarily by higher demand for SoC wire bond products.

The following customers accounted for more than 10% of our revenues for the periods indicated:



	Three Months Ended				Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013		June 28, 2014		June 29, 2013

Gross Profit



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013			June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013
	(In thousands, except percentages)
Gross profit	$	20,024		$	16,405		$	32,349		$	25,480
% of revenues	29.7		%	26.2		%	26.2		%	22.1		%

Gross profit fluctuates with revenue levels, product mix, selling prices, factory loading, and material costs. For the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, the amount of gross profit increased compared to the same periods in the prior year, primarily due to lower material costs, lower labor expenses and overhead charges as a result of our cost reduction initiatives and favorable production yields. Gross profit also benefited from higher production volume driven by higher sales. This led to higher factory utilization on a relatively fixed base of overhead costs and resulted in improvements to our gross profits for all

product markets. In addition, we recognized $1.3 million of gross margin from a non-recurring, service transaction in the three months ended June 28, 2014.

Our net inventory provision charges declined by $1.0 million and $1.1 million between the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 and the corresponding period in the prior year. For the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, the value of previously reserved materials that were used in manufacturing and shipped was $0.8 million and $1.5 million, respectively.

Gross profit included stock-based compensation expense of $0.7 million and $1.2 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, respectively, compared to $0.6 million and $1.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013.

Future gross margins may be adversely impacted by lower levels of product revenues, even though we have taken significant steps to reduce our operating cost structure. Our gross margins may also be adversely affected if we are required to record additional inventory provision charges and inventory write-downs if estimated average selling prices of products held in finished goods and work in process inventories are below the manufacturing cost of those products.

Research and Development

Research and development expenses for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 increased by $0.2 million and decreased by $1.0 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year.

The increase in the three months ended June 28, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year was due to an increase of $0.6 million in project and material costs and $0.4 million in incentive compensation offset by a reduction of $0.8 million in personnel related costs as a result of our ongoing restructuring efforts.

The decrease in the six months ended June 28, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year was due to reduction of $1.4 million in personnel related costs as a result of our ongoing restructuring efforts, $0.3 million in stock-based compensation and $0.1 million in general operating expenses offset by an increase of $0.4 million in project and material costs and $0.4 million of incentive compensation.

As a percent of revenues, research and development expenses decreased 1.0% and 2.0%, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, from the comparable periods of the prior year.

Stock-based compensation expense included in research and development expenses was $0.9 million and $1.6 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, compared to $0.8 million and $1.8 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013.

Selling, general and administrative expenses for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 decreased by $0.3 million and $2.7 million, respectively, compared to the same periods in the prior year.

The decrease in the three months ended June 28, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year was due to a reduction of $0.7 million in personnel related costs as a result of our ongoing restructuring efforts, $0.6 million in general operating expenses as a result of our ongoing cost reduction efforts and $0.3 million in indirect sales commission offset by an increase of $0.7 million in incentive compensation, $0.3 million in foreign payroll taxes and $0.3 million in stock based compensation.

The decrease in the six months ended June 28, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year was due to a reduction of $1.3 million in personnel related costs as a result of our ongoing restructuring efforts, $0.9 million in acquisition and integration related costs, $0.8 million in general operating expenses as a result of our ongoing cost reduction efforts, $0.3 million in travel costs, $0.3 million in sales commission and $0.2 million in project materials offset by an increase of $0.6 in incentive compensation, $0.3 million in foreign payroll taxes and $0.2 million in stock based compensation.

As a percent of revenues, selling, general and administrative expenses decreased approximately 1.9% and 3.8%, respectively, during the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 from the comparable periods of the prior year.

Stock-based compensation expense included within selling, general and administrative expenses was $1.9 million and $3.4 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, compared to $1.7 million and $3.2 million, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013.

For the three months ended June 28, 2014, restructuring charges decreased by $33 thousand from the comparable period of the prior year. For the six months ended June 28, 2014, restructuring charges decreased by $2.0 million from the comparable period of the prior year. Our restructuring activities are discussed below.

2014 Restructuring Activities

2013 Restructuring Activities

In the first quarter of fiscal 2013, we implemented a restructuring plan (the "Q1 2013 Restructuring Plan") which resulted in the reduction of our global workforce by 31 employees across the organization. In addition we reduced our temporary workforce by approximately 20 positions. We also suspended development activities and engineering efforts for our next generation DRAM Matrix platform and terminated development activities for a certain SoC product platform. We recorded $4.0 million of restructuring charges during the first quarter of fiscal 2013, which was comprised of $1.3 million in severance and related benefits and $2.7 million in impairment charges for certain equipment that would no longer be utilized. In the second quarter of fiscal 2013, we recorded $0.1 million of severance and related benefits due to the reduction of 4 employees across the organization. The activities comprising these restructuring activities were completed in fiscal 2013.

Loss on Sale of Subsidiary

On June 29, 2013, we sold TMMC, a wholly owned subsidiary of MicroProbe based in Carson City, Nevada. TMMC's assets were sold to its management team for a purchase consideration of $1.0 million. FormFactor received approximately $0.2 million in cash upon the sale in the second fiscal quarter of 2013 and an approximately $0.8 million note to be repaid over 7 years at a 5% interest rate. The fair value of the note was discounted to approximately $0.5 million as of June 29, 2013. We included goodwill of approximately $0.2 million and a trademark intangible asset, net of accumulated amortization, of approximately $0.1 million in the loss on disposal of a subsidiary. We recorded a net loss on the sale of TMMC's assets of $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013.

Impairment of Long-lived Assets

Impairment of long-lived assets	$	—		$	121		$	743		$	179
% of revenues	—		%	0.2		%	0.6		%	0.2		%

We did not record any asset impairment charges during the three months ended June 28, 2014 and recorded $0.1 million of asset impairment charges during the three months ended June 29, 2013. During the six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013, we recorded asset impairment charges of $0.7 million and $0.2 million, respectively. All the asset impairment charges related to certain manufacturing assets which were no longer being utilized.

Management believes it is reasonably possible that additional impairment charges that would further reduce the carrying amounts of our property, plant and equipment and intangible assets may arise in fiscal 2014 if we are unable to achieve cash flows anticipated by our forecasted financial plan.

Interest Income, Net and Other Income, Net



	Three Months Ended						Six Months Ended
	June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013			June 28, 2014			June 29, 2013

% of revenues	(0.2		)%	0.3		%	(0.2		)%	0.5		%

Interest income is primarily earned on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. The decrease in interest income for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 as compared with the same period of the prior year was primarily the result of lower average balances. Cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and marketable securities were $149.5 million at June 28, 2014 compared to $151.5 million at December 28, 2013, and $154.9 million at June 29, 2013. The weighted-average yield on our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities for the three months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 was 0.18% and 0.29%, respectively and the weighted average yield for the six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 was 0.17% and 0.30%, respectively.

Other income (expense), net is comprised primarily of foreign currency impact and various other gains and losses. The change in other income (expense), net for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014 compared to the three and six months ended June 29, 2013 was due primarily to foreign currency exchange losses.

Provision for (Benefit From) Income Taxes

Effective tax rate	1.2		%	(2.5		)%	(1.5		)%	—		%

We recorded an income tax benefit of $51 thousand and a tax provision of $0.3 million for the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, respectively, and an income tax provision of $0.2 million and a tax benefit of $5 thousand, respectively, for the three and six months ended June 29, 2013. Income tax provisions reflect the tax provision on our operations in the US and foreign jurisdictions and the tax benefit from the lapsing of the statute of limitations in foreign jurisdictions. We continue to maintain a valuation allowance for our U.S. Federal and state deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

Capital Resources: Our working capital was $180.8 million at June 28, 2014 and $173.9 million at December 28, 2013. The increase in working capital in the six months ended June 28, 2014 was primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable due to increased sales, inventory build in anticipation of higher sales and the reclassification of our long-lived assets to current assets as assets held for sale.

Cash and cash equivalents consist of deposits held at banks, money market funds, U.S. government securities and commercial paper that at the time of purchase had maturities of 90 days or less. Marketable securities consist of U.S. government and agency securities and commercial paper. We typically invest in highly-rated securities with low probabilities of default. Our investment policy requires investments to be rated single-A or better, and limits the types of acceptable investments, issuer concentration and duration of the investment.

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities totaled approximately $149.0 million at June 28, 2014, as compared to $151.1 million at December 28, 2013. The decrease in our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities balances was primarily due to the use of cash for operating activities and cash used to acquire property, plant and equipment in the six months ended June 28, 2014. We believe that we will be able to satisfy our working capital requirements for at least the next twelve months with the liquidity provided by our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. If we are unsuccessful in increasing revenue, improving our operating efficiency, reducing our cash outlays or increasing our available cash through financing, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will further decline in fiscal 2014.

We utilize a variety of tax planning and financing strategies in an effort to manage our worldwide cash and deploy funds to locations where they are needed. As part of these strategies, we indefinitely reinvest a significant portion of our foreign earnings and our current plans do not demonstrate a need to repatriate these earnings. Should we require additional capital in the United States, we may elect to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds or raise capital in the United States through debt. If we were to repatriate indefinitely reinvested foreign funds, we would be required to accrue and pay additional United States taxes less applicable foreign tax credits.

Days Sales Outstanding: Days sales outstanding from receivables, or DSO, were 56 days at June 28, 2014 compared with 52 days at December 28, 2013. Our DSO calculation is determined using the count back method and is based on gross accounts receivable (including accounts receivable for amounts in deferred revenue). The increase in DSO is primarily due to higher sales to customers on 60 day payment terms during the six months ended June 28, 2014 as compared to the year ended December 28, 2013.

Net cash provided by (used in) investing activities	9,642			(9,523		)
Net cash provided by financing activities	$	1,155		$	990

Cash flows from operating activities: Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 28, 2014 was primarily attributable to the net change in operating assets and liabilities. The Company had a net loss of $17.0 million which was offset by non-cash expenses of $27.4 million, including $16.2 million of depreciation and amortization, $6.1 million of stock-based compensation, $3.8 million of provision for excess and obsolete inventories, $0.7 million of impairment of long-lived assets and $0.6 million of assets written-off as part of our restructuring activities.

The net change in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 28, 2014 resulted in a net use of cash of $10.9 million and which was comprised of cash used of $11.6 million in accounts receivable due to higher sales, $5.2 million of cash used for inventory due to inventory build and an increase of prepaid expenses and other current assets of $0.4 million. The above use of cash was offset in part by an increase of $3.5 million in accrued liabilities due to accrued payroll and warranty, an increase of $2.4 million in accounts payable driven by the timing of our payments on vendor obligations, an increase of $0.2 million in deferred revenues due to shipments to customers for which our revenue recognition criteria have not yet been met and an increase in income tax payable of $0.1 million.

Net cash used in operating activities for the six months ended June 29, 2013 was primarily attributable to our net loss of $28.2 million offset in part by $29.6 million of non-cash charges consisting primarily of $6.2 million of stock-based compensation, $14.6 million of depreciation and amortization, $2.7 million of assets written-off as part of our restructuring plan and $4.9 million of provision for excess and obsolete inventories. The net change in operating assets and liabilities for the six months ended June 29, 2013 was a use of cash of $7.0 million comprising an increase in our accounts receivable of $10.7 million due to an increase in sales transactions closer to our quarter end, an increase in inventory of $7.6 million as we built more inventory to support higher forecasted demand in future quarters and a reduction of $2.6 million in accrued liabilities. Working capital sources of cash were primarily an increase of $5.1 million in accounts payable driven by the timing of invoice receipts and payments to vendors, receipt of refundable taxes of $4.4 million and decrease of other current assets of $3.5 million.

Cash flows from investing activities: Net cash provided by investing activities for the six months ended June 28, 2014 was primarily related to $44.3 million of proceeds from maturities of marketable securities offset by purchases of marketable securities totaling $31.7 million and cash used in the acquisition of property and equipment of $3.0 million. We carefully monitor our investments to minimize risks and have not experienced other than temporary investment losses. Except for experiencing declining yields, our investment portfolio has not been negatively impacted by the economic turmoil in the credit markets in the recent past.

Net cash used in investing activities for the six months ended June 29, 2013 was primarily related to purchases of marketable securities totaling $51.1 million offset by $45.0 million of proceeds from maturities of marketable securities and $5.1 million cash used in the acquisition of property and equipment.

Cash flows from financing activities: Net cash provided by financing activities for the six months ended June 28, 2014 and June 29, 2013 included $1.4 million and $1.3 million, respectively, from proceeds received from purchases under our 2012 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, offset by stock withheld in lieu of payment of employee taxes related to the release of restricted stock units.

Our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities declined in the six months ended June 28, 2014. We continue to focus on improving our operating efficiency to increase operating cash flows. Our actions have included implementing operational expense reduction initiatives, delaying or eliminating certain capital spending and research and development projects, focusing on timely customer collections and re-negotiating longer payment terms with our vendors. We believe that we will be able to satisfy our cash requirements for at least the next twelve months with the liquidity provided by our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities. To the extent necessary, we may also consider establishing manufacturing and technology partnerships, or to seek short and long-term debt obligations, or to obtain new financing facilities which may not be available on terms favorable to us or at all. Our future capital requirements may vary materially from those now planned.

However, if we are unsuccessful in increasing revenues, improving our operating efficiency, executing our cost reduction plan, reducing our cash outlays or increasing our available cash through financing, our cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will decline in future fiscal quarters.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

Historically, we have not participated in transactions that have generated relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, such as entities often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which would have been established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes. As of June 28, 2014, we were not involved in any such off-balance sheet arrangements.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

Our critical accounting policies are disclosed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013. Our critical accounting policies have not changed during the six months ended June 28, 2014.

Furthermore, the preparation of consolidated financial statements in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles in the United States of America (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Our management believes that we consistently apply these judgments and estimates and the consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes fairly represent all periods presented. However, any differences between these judgments and estimates and actual results could have a material impact on our consolidated statements of income and financial position.

Critical accounting estimates, as defined by the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission, are those that are most important to the portrayal of our consolidated financial condition and results of operations and require our management’s most difficult and subjective judgments and estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Our critical accounting estimates include those regarding (1) revenue recognition and the fair value of revenue elements, (2) fair value of marketable securities, (3) accruals for liabilities, including restructuring charges, (4) warranty accruals, (5) valuation of inventories, including obsolete and slow moving inventory, (6) allowance for doubtful accounts, (7) valuation of our long-lived assets including goodwill as well as the assessment of recoverability of such long-lived assets, (8) provision for income taxes, tax liabilities and valuation allowance for deferred tax assets, and (9) valuation and recognition of stock-based compensation. For a discussion of our critical accounting estimates, see Item 7: “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations — Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

Please refer to the discussion of our recent accounting pronouncements in Note 2—Recent Accounting Pronouncements of the Notes to the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 in this report on Form 10-Q.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

For financial market risks related to changes in interest rates and foreign currency exchange rates, reference is made to Item 7A: “Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk” contained in Part II of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 28, 2013. Our exposure to market risk has not changed materially since December 28, 2013.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Based on our management’s evaluation (with the participation of our principal executive officer and principal financial officer), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our principal executive officer and principal 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, (the “Exchange Act”)) are effective to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There have been no changes in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) 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.

Limitations on the Effectiveness of Controls

Control systems, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control systems’ objectives are being met. Further, the design of any control systems must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of all 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 our company have been detected. These inherent limitations include the realities that judgments in decision making can be faulty and that breakdowns can occur because of simple error or mistake. Control systems can also be circumvented by the individual acts of some persons, by collusion of two or more people, or by management override of the controls. The design of any system of controls is based, in part, on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

CEO and CFO Certifications

We have attached as exhibits to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q the certifications of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, which are required in accordance with the Exchange Act. We recommend that this Item 4 be read in conjunction with the certifications for a more complete understanding of the subject matter presented.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1. Legal Proceedings

The information relating to “Legal Matters” set forth under Note 17-Commitments and Contingencies of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q is incorporated herein by reference.

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There have been no material changes during the six months ended June 28, 2014 to the risk factors discussed in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013. If any of the identified risks actually occur, our business, financial condition and results of operations could suffer. The trading price of our common stock could decline and you may lose all or part of your investment in our common stock. The risks and uncertainties described in our Annual Report on

Form 10-K for the year ended December 28, 2013 are not the only ones we face. Additional risks that we currently do not know about or that we currently believe to be immaterial may also impair our business operations. We may make acquisitions and investments, which could put a strain on our resources, cause ownership dilution to our stockholders and adversely affect our financial results.
