NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS


1.	FINANCIAL INFORMATION

The accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of Avid Technology, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiaries (collectively, “we” or “our”). These financial statements are unaudited. However, in the opinion of management, the condensed consolidated financial statements reflect all normal and recurring adjustments necessary for their fair statement. Interim results are not necessarily indicative of results expected for any other interim period or a full year. We prepared the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in accordance with the instructions for Form 10-Q and, therefore, include all information and footnotes necessary for a complete presentation of operations, comprehensive income (loss), financial position, changes in stockholders’ deficit and cash flows in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”). The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December 31, ~~2017~~2018 was derived from our audited consolidated financial statements and does not include all disclosures required by U.S. GAAP for annual financial statements. We filed audited consolidated financial statements as of and for the year ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, which included information and footnotes necessary for such presentation. The financial statements contained in this Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with the audited consolidated financial statements in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018.

Our preparation of condensed 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 and disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities at the dates of the condensed consolidated financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reported periods. Actual results could differ from our estimates.

~~We evaluated subsequent events through~~On April 8, 2019, we entered into an amendment to our existing agreement (the “Financing Agreement”) with Cerberus Business Finance, LLC, as collateral and administrative agent, and the ~~date~~lenders party thereto. The amendment provides for an additional delayed draw term loan commitment in the aggregate principal amount of ~~issuance~~$100 million (the “Delayed Draw Funds”), which may be used to fund the purchase of ~~these financial statements~~our 2.00% Senior Convertible Notes due 2020 (the “Notes”). On May 2, 2019, we received the Delayed Draw Funds under the Financing Agreement. The Delayed Draw Funds will remain available to us to purchase Notes for a period of 90 calendar days. At the end of such 90-day period, any remaining Delayed Draw Funds that have not been used to purchase Notes must be repaid and no ~~other subsequent events required recognition~~further funds will be available to borrow under the commitment. Any Delayed Draw Funds drawn and used to fund the purchase of the Notes will mature on May 10, 2023, the current maturity date under the Financing Agreement. Under the terms of the amendment, interest accrues on the Delay Draw Funds and the existing outstanding borrowings under the Financing Agreement at a rate of either the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Financing Agreement) plus 6.25% or ~~disclosure~~a Reference Rate (as defined in ~~these financial statements.~~the Financing Agreement) plus 5.25%, at our option.

For a more detailed description of the amendment, see our Form 8-K filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission on April 11, 2019.

Significant Accounting Policies - Revenue Recognition

We enter into contracts with customers that include various combinations of products and services, which are typically capable of being distinct and are accounted for as separate performance obligations. ~~The Company accounts~~We account for a contract when (i) it has approval and commitment from both parties, (ii) the rights of the parties have been identified, (iii) payment terms have been identified, (iv) the contract has commercial substance and (v) collectability is probable. We recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the underlying contracts, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services.

~~See Note 9 for disaggregated revenue schedules and further discussion on revenue and deferred revenue performance obligations and the timing of revenue recognition.~~

We often enter into contractual arrangements that have multiple performance obligations, one or more of which may be delivered subsequent to the delivery of other performance obligations. These arrangements may include a combination of products, support, training and professional services. We allocate the transaction price of the arrangement based on the relative estimated standalone selling price ~~(“SSP”)~~ of each distinct performance obligation.

~~Our process~~See Note 10 for ~~determining SSP for each performance obligation involves significant management judgment. In determining SSP, we maximize observable inputs~~disaggregated revenue schedules and ~~consider a number of data points, including:~~

~~the pricing of standalone sales (in the instances where available);~~

~~the pricing established by management when setting prices for deliverables that are intended to be sold~~further discussion on ~~a standalone basis;~~

~~contractually stated prices for deliverables that are intended to be sold on a standalone basis;~~

~~other pricing factors, such as the geographical region in which the products are sold~~revenue and ~~expected discounts based on the customer size and type.~~

~~Determining SSP for~~deferred revenue performance obligations which we never sell separately also requires significant judgment. In estimating the SSP, we consider the likely price that would have resulted from established pricing practices had the deliverable been offered separately and the ~~prices a customer would likely be willing to pay.~~timing of revenue recognition.

We only include estimated amounts in the transaction price to the extent it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur when the uncertainty associated with the variable consideration is resolved. We reduce transaction prices for estimated returns and other allowances that represent variable consideration under Accounting Standards Codification (“ASC”) Topic 606, which we estimate based on historical return experience and other relevant factors, and record a corresponding refund liability as a component of accrued expenses and other current liabilities. Other forms of contingent revenue or variable consideration are infrequent.

While not a common practice for us, in the event we grant the customer the option to acquire additional products or services in an arrangement, we consider if the option provides a material right to the customer that it would not receive without entering into the contract (e.g., an incremental discount compared to the range of discounts typically given for similar products or services). If a material right is deemed to exist, we account for the option as a distinct performance obligation and recognize revenue when those future products or services are transferred or when the option expires.

We also record as revenue all amounts billed to customers for shipping and handling costs and record the actual shipping costs as a component of cost of revenues. Reimbursements received from customers for out-of-pocket expenses are recorded as revenues, with related costs recorded as cost of revenues. We present revenues net of any taxes collected from customers and remitted to government authorities.

We apply the practical expedient to not adjust the transaction price for the effects of a significant financing component when we expect that the period between when we transfer a good or service to a customer and when the customer pays for that good or service will be one year or less. Payments under our contracts are typically due within in a short period from when our performance obligations are satisfied.

~~We apply the practical expedient for the deferral of sales commissions and other contract acquisition costs, which are expensed as incurred, where the amortization period would be one year or less.~~

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements

On January 1, ~~2018,~~2019, we adopted ASC Topic ~~606,~~ ~~Revenue from Contracts with Customers~~ (“842, Leases (“ASC ~~606”~~842”), using the modified retrospective ~~method applied to contracts not completed~~transition approach, as provided by ASU No. 2018-11, Leases - Targeted Improvements (“ASU 2018-11”). We elected the package of ~~January 1, 2018.~~practical expedients permitted under the transition guidance. Results for reporting periods beginning after January 1, ~~2018~~2019 are presented under ASC ~~606,~~842, while prior ~~period amounts are~~periods have not been adjusted and continue to be reported in accordance with our historic accounting under ~~ASC 605. We recorded a net reduction to opening accumulated deficit of approximately $108 million as of January 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 606.~~previous U.S. GAAP. The primary impact of ASC ~~606 that resulted in a significant decrease in deferred revenue~~842 is that ~~vendor specific objective evidence~~substantially all of ~~fair value~~our leases are recognized on the balance sheet, by recording right-of-use assets and short-term and long-term lease liabilities. The new standard does not have a material impact on our consolidated statement of operations and cash flows, and the effects of applying ASC 842 as a cumulative-effect adjustment to retained earnings as of January 1, 2019 is ~~no longer required to recognize revenue for distinct software products upon delivery, which allows recognition upon delivery rather than on a ratable basis over a period of time.~~immaterial.

⁽¹⁾

The increase in accounts receivable and accrued expenses and other current liabilities is due to the reclassification of allowances for sales returns, rebates and other adjustments to selling prices that are considered variable consideration under ASC 606 and are now presented as a liability on our balance sheet. Accounts receivable also increased due to advanced contractual support billings now being recorded on a gross basis in accounts receivable when it is due, rather than being net against corresponding unamortized deferred revenue.

⁽²⁾

For subscription contracts, we are now required under ASC 606 to record contract assets for annual and multi-year subscriptions that are billed monthly, resulting in an increase in contract assets at the date of adoption. In addition, some of our enterprise agreements have fixed payment schedules whereas the timing of the fulfillment of performance obligations under the contracts can vary, which can result in the fulfillment of performance obligations exceeding contract billings, which also results in contract assets.


⁽³⁾	The reduction is due to inventory and deferred costs that were directly attributable to deferred revenue transactions that were reduced or eliminated due to the adoption of ASC 606 (as described in footnote 4 below), necessitating the elimination of corresponding inventory and deferred costs associated with those deferred revenue transactions.


⁽⁴⁾	The reduction is primarily attributable to the elimination of the requirement to have vendor specific objective evidence of fair value for undelivered elements that existed under ASC 985, the prior applicable accounting guidance, for software products, which no longer precludes revenue recognition under ASC 606.

⁽⁵⁾ ~~See Note 9 for a further description of~~In accordance with guidance provided by the ~~components~~SEC staff, as of ~~revenue and related performance obligations under ASC 606 that resulted in cumulative changes to balance sheet accounts as a result of the adoption of ASC 606.~~

⁽⁶⁾~~The impact of the adoption of ASC 606 reported in our Form 10-Q for the three months ended~~ March 31, ~~2018 has been revised in this filing to reflect an additional reduction to deferred revenue and accumulated deficit as of January 1, 2018 of $3.8 million.~~

The adoption of Topic 606, as compared to legacy GAAP required for revenue recognition, did not have a significant impact on revenue or net loss for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018. The impact of ASC 606 to balance sheet line items as of June 30, 2018, after reflecting the opening balance sheet adjustments described in detail above, was not material. There was no tax impact associated2019, we began complying with ~~the adoption because our deferred tax assets related to deferred revenue have a full valuation allowance.~~

~~In March 2018, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”), No. 2018-05,~~ ~~Amendments to~~expanded disclosure requirements under applicable SEC ~~Paragraphs Pursuant to SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin~~ ~~(“SAB”)~~ ~~No. 118~~. The guidance amends SEC paragraphs in ASC 740, Income Taxes, to reflect and codify SAB No. 118, which provides guidance for companies that are not able to complete their accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act in the period of enactment. The ASU became effective upon issuance. We had applied SAB 118 upon the original issuance in December, 2017 prior to the codification in ASC 740. See discussion belowrules regarding the ~~status~~analysis of ~~our accounting for the impacts of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (TCJA).~~

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was signed into law. The TCJA changed many aspects of U.S. corporate income taxation and included reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% , implementation of a territorial tax system and imposition of a tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The TCJA was effective as of December 31, 2017 and at that time we made a reasonable estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax. As of June 30, 2018, we have not completed our accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA nor have we recorded any adjustments during the quarter ended June 30, 2018. We will continue to assess our provision for income taxes as future guidance is issued, but do not currently anticipate significant revisions will be necessary. Any such revisions will be treated in accordance with the one year measurement period guidance outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. The ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions we may take as a result of the TCJA. The accounting is expected to be complete within the one year measurement period particularly after the 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in 2018.

~~In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15,~~ ~~Statement of Cash Flow (Topic 230)~~. The guidance reduces diversity in how certain cash receipts and cash payments are presented and classified in the Statements of Cash Flows. Certain of ASU No. 2016-15 requirements are as follows: (i) cash paymentsstockholders' equity for debt prepayment or debt extinguishment costs should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities, (ii) contingent consideration payments made soon after a business combination should be classified as cash outflows for investing activities and cash payment made thereafter should be classified as cash outflows for financing up to the amount of the contingent consideration liability recognized at the acquisition date with any excess classified as operating activities, (iii) cash proceeds from the settlement of insurance claims should be classified on the basis of the nature of the loss, (iv) cash proceeds from the settlement of Corporate-Owned Life Insurance, or COLI, Policies should be classified as cash inflows from investing activities and cash payments for premiums on COLI policies may be classified as cash outflows for investing activities, operating activities, or a combination of investing and operating activities and (v) cash paid to a tax authority by an employer when withholding shares from an employee's award for tax-withholding purposes should be classified as cash outflows for financing activities. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-15 had no material impact on our consolidatedinterim financial statements.

~~In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16,~~ ~~Income Taxes (Topic 740)~~. The guidance requires companies to recognize the income tax effects of intercompany sales and transfers of assets, other than inventory, in the income statement as income tax expense (or benefit) in the period in which the transfer occurs. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-16 had no impact on our consolidated financial statements.

~~In November 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-18,~~ ~~Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230): Restricted Cash.~~ The guidance requires companies to show the changes in the total of cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. As a result, companies will no longer present transfers between cash and cash equivalents and restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents in the statement of cash flows. When cash, cash equivalents, restricted cash and restricted cash equivalents are presented in more than one line item on the balance sheet, a reconciliation of the totals in the statement of cash flows to the related captions in the balance sheet is required. We adopted the guidance on January 1, 2018. The adoption of ASU 2016-18 had no material impact on our consolidated financial statements. Restricted cash amounts, presented within the statements of financial position and cash flows, are cash collateralized letters of credit that are used as security deposits in connection with our facility leases and operations.

~~Recent Accounting Pronouncements to be Adopted~~

~~On February 25, 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,~~ ~~Leases (Topic 842)~~. The guidance requires an entity to recognize virtually all of their leases on the balance sheet, by recording a right-of-use asset and lease liability. The new guidance becomes effective for us on January 1, 2019, and early adoption is permitted upon issuance. We are currently evaluating the impact of this guidance on our consolidated financial statements and have compiled an initial inventory of our leases. These leases are primarily related to office space in the United States and foreign locations and are currently classified as operating leases under generally accepted accounting principles.


2.	NET INCOME PER SHARE

Net (loss) income per common share is presented for both basic (loss) income per share (“Basic EPS”) and diluted (loss) income per share (“Diluted EPS”). Basic EPS is based on the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted EPS is based on the weighted-average number of common shares and common ~~share~~shares equivalents outstanding during the period.

The potential common shares that were considered anti-dilutive securities were excluded from the diluted earnings per share calculations for the relevant periods either because the sum of the exercise price per share and the unrecognized

compensation cost per share was greater than the average market price of our common stock for the relevant ~~period,~~periods, or because they were considered contingently issuable. The contingently issuable potential common shares result from certain stock options and restricted stock units granted to our employees that vest based on performance conditions, market conditions, or a combination of performance and market conditions.

When there is a loss from continuing operations, potential common shares should not be included in the computation of Diluted EPS because the exercise or conversion of any potential shares increases the number of shares in the denominator

and results in a lower loss per share. Therefore, all outstanding stock options and restricted stock units at March 31, 2019 and 2018 are anti-dilutive and not included in the EPS calculation. The following table sets forth (in thousands) potential common shares that were considered anti-dilutive securities at ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2017.~~2018.

OnWe issued the Notes on June 15, ~~2015, we issued $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of our 2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020, or the Notes.~~2015. The Notes are convertible into cash, shares of our common stock or a combination of cash and shares of common stock, at our election, based on an initial conversion rate, subject to adjustment. In connection with the offering of the Notes, we entered into a capped call transaction, or Capped Call, with a third party. We use the treasury stock method in computing the dilutive impact of the Notes. The Notes are convertible into shares of our common stock but our stock price as of March 31, 2019 and 2018 was less than the conversion price as of ~~June 30, 2018 and 2017,~~$21.94 per share, and, therefore, the Notes are excluded from Diluted EPS. The Capped Call is not reflected in diluted net income per share as it will always be anti-dilutive.


3.	FAIR VALUE MEASUREMENTS

Assets Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

We measure deferred compensation investments on a recurring basis. As of ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017,~~2018, our deferred compensation investments were classified as either Level 1 or Level 2 in the fair value hierarchy. Assets valued using quoted market prices in active markets and classified as Level 1 are money market and mutual funds. Assets valued based on other observable inputs and classified as Level 2 are insurance contracts.

The following tables summarize our deferred compensation investments measured at fair value on a recurring basis (in thousands):

Financial Instruments Not Recorded at Fair Value

The carrying amounts of our other financial assets and liabilities including cash, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximate their respective fair values because of the relatively short period of time between their origination and their expected realization or settlement. As of ~~June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, the net carrying amount of the Notes was ~~$107.4~~$95.6 million, and the fair value of the Notes was approximately ~~$108.3~~$96.7 million based on open market trading activity, which constitutes a Level 1 input in the fair value hierarchy.

Amortizing identifiable intangible assets related to our acquisitions or capitalized costs of internally developed or externally purchased software that form the basis for our products consisted of the following (in thousands):

Amortization expense related to ~~all~~ intangible assets in the aggregate was $2.3 million for ~~both~~ the three months ended ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2017, and $4.6 million for both the six months ended June 30, 2018 and 2017.~~2018. We expect amortization of ~~acquired~~ intangible assets to be $~~4.6~~2.1 million for the remainder of ~~2018~~ ~~and~~ ~~$4.4 million~~ ~~in 2019.~~2019.

The acquisition of Orad in 2015 resulted in goodwill of $32.6 million as of ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

We have entered into a number of facility leases to support our research and development activities, sales operations and other corporate and administrative functions in North America, Europe, and Asia, which qualify as operating leases under U.S. GAAP. We also have a limited number of equipment leases that also qualify as operating leases. We determine if contracts with vendors represent a lease or have a lease component under U.S. GAAP at contract inception. We do not have any finance leases as of March 31, 2019. Our leases have remaining terms of one year to ten years. Some of our leases include options to extend or terminate the lease prior to the end of the agreed upon lease term. For purposes of calculating lease liabilities, lease terms include options to extend or terminate the lease when it is reasonably certain that we will exercise such options.

Operating lease right of use assets and liabilities are recognized based on the present value of the future minimum lease payments over the lease term at the lease commencement date. As our leases generally do not provide an implicit rate, we use an estimated incremental borrowing rate in determining the present value of future payments. The incremental borrowing rate represents an estimate of the interest rate we would incur at lease commencement to borrow an amount equal to the lease payments on a collateralized basis over the term of a lease within a particular location and currency environment. We used an average incremental borrowing rate of 6% as of January 1, 2019, the adoption date of ASC 842, for our leases that commenced prior to that date. The operating leases are included in the caption “Right of use assets”,

“Accrued expenses and other current liabilities”, and “Long-term lease liabilities” on our condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019.

The weighted-average remaining lease term of our operating leases is 7.1 years as of March 31, 2019. Lease costs for minimum lease payments is recognized on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Our total lease costs were $2.5 million and related cash payments were $2.4 million for the three months ended March 31, 2019. Lease costs are included within research and development, marketing and selling, and general and administrative lines on the condensed consolidated statements of operations, and the related cash payments were included in the operating cash flows on the condensed consolidated statements of cash flows. Short-term lease costs, variable lease costs and sublease income are not material.

The table below reconciles the undiscounted future minimum lease payments under non-cancellable leases with terms of more than one year to the total lease liabilities recognized on the condensed consolidated balance sheets as of March 31, 2019 (in thousands):

7.8.	COMMITMENTS AND CONTINGENCIES

Commitments

We entered into a long-term agreement to purchase a variety of information technology solutions from a third party in the second quarter of 2017, which included an unconditional commitment to purchase a minimum of $12.8 million of products and services over the initial ~~three-year term~~three years of the agreement. We have purchased ~~$3.2~~$6.1 million of products and services pursuant to this agreement as of ~~June 30, 2018 to develop Azure certified solutions.~~March 31, 2019.

We have letters of credit that are used as security deposits in connection with our leased Burlington, Massachusetts office space. In the event of default on the underlying leases, the landlords would, at ~~June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, be eligible to draw against the letters of credit to a maximum of $1.3 million in the aggregate. The letters of credit are subject to aggregate reductions provided that we are not in default under the underlying leases and meet certain financial performance conditions. In no case will the letters of credit amounts for the Burlington leases be reduced to below $1.2 million in the aggregate throughout the lease ~~periods, all of which extend to May 2020.~~periods.

We also have letters of credit in connection with security deposits for other facility leases totaling ~~$1.1~~$1.0 million in the aggregate, as well as letters of credit totaling $1.4 million that otherwise support our ongoing operations. These letters of credit have various terms and expire during ~~2018~~2019 and beyond, while some of the letters of credit may automatically renew based on the terms of the underlying agreements.

We issued a letter of credit totaling $8.5 million to one of our sole-source suppliers in February 2018. The supplier is eligible to draw on the letter of credit in the event that we are insolvent or unable to pay on our purchase orders for certain key hardware components of our product. The letter of credit ~~is valid for one year from its issuance date,~~has been extended through February 2020 and may automatically renew based on the terms of the underlying agreement.

Contingencies

Our industry is characterized by the existence of a large number of patents and frequent claims and litigation regarding patent and other intellectual property rights. In addition to the legal proceedings described ~~below,~~above, we are involved in legal proceedings from time to time arising from the normal course of business activities, including claims of alleged infringement of intellectual property rights and contractual, commercial, employee relations, product or service performance, or other matters. We do not believe these matters will have a material adverse effect on our financial position or results of operations. However, the outcome of legal proceedings and claims brought against us is subject to significant uncertainty. Therefore, our financial position or results of operations may be negatively affected by the unfavorable

resolution of one or more of these proceedings for the period in which a matter is resolved. Our results could be materially adversely affected if we are accused of, or found to be, infringing third parties’ intellectual property rights.

In November 2016, a purported securities class action lawsuit was filed in the U.S. District Court for the District of Massachusetts (Mohanty v. Avid Technology, Inc. et al., No. 16-cv-12336) against us and certain of our executive officers seeking unspecified damages and other relief on behalf of a purported class of purchasers of our common stock between August 4, 2016 and November 9, 2016, inclusive. The complaint purported to state a claim for violation of federal securities laws as a result of alleged violations of Sections 10(b) and 20(a) of the Exchange Act and Rule 10b-5

promulgated thereunder. The complaint’s allegations relate generally to our disclosure surrounding the level of implementation of our Avid NEXIS solution product offerings. On February 7, 2017, the Court appointed a lead plaintiff and counsel in the matter. On June 14, 2017, we moved to dismiss the action. On July 31, 2017, the lead plaintiff filed an opposition to our motion to dismiss, and on August 21, 2017, we filed our reply brief. On October 13, 2017, after a mediation, the parties reached an agreement in principle to settle this litigation. The settlement was approved by the court and the settlement payment was made by our insurers in May 2018.

Following the termination of our former Chairman and Chief Executive Officer on February 25, 2018, we received a notice alleging that we breached the former employee’s employment agreement. On April 16, 2019 we received an additional notice again alleging we breached the former employee’s employment agreement. While we intend to defend any claim vigorously, when and if a claim is actually filed, we are currently unable to estimate an amount or range of any reasonably possible losses that could occur as a result of this matter.

We consider all claims on a quarterly basis and based on known facts assess whether potential losses are considered reasonably possible, probable and estimable. Based upon this assessment, we then evaluate disclosure requirements and whether to accrue for such claims in our condensed consolidated financial statements. We record a provision for a liability when it is both probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. These provisions are reviewed at least quarterly and adjusted to reflect the impacts of negotiations, settlements, rulings, advice of legal counsel and other information and events pertaining to a particular case.

At ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and as of the date of filing of these condensed consolidated financial statements, we believe that, other than as set forth in this note, no provision for liability nor disclosure is required related to any claims because: (a) there is no reasonable possibility that a loss exceeding amounts already recognized (if any) may be incurred with respect to such claim, (b) a reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be estimated; or (c) such estimate is immaterial.

Additionally, we provide indemnification to certain customers for losses incurred in connection with intellectual property infringement claims brought by third parties with respect to our products. These indemnification provisions generally offer perpetual coverage for infringement claims based upon the products covered by the agreement and the maximum potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is theoretically unlimited. To date, we have not incurred material costs related to these indemnification provisions; accordingly, we believe the estimated fair value of these indemnification provisions is immaterial. Further, certain of our arrangements with customers include clauses whereby we may be subject to penalties for failure to meet certain performance obligations; however, we have not recorded any related material penalties to date.

We provide warranties on externally sourced and internally developed hardware. For internally developed hardware, and in cases where the warranty granted to customers for externally sourced hardware is greater than that provided by the manufacturer, we record an accrual for the related liability based on historical trends and actual material and labor costs. The following table sets forth the activity in the product warranty accrual account for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2017~~2018 (in thousands):

Remaining Performance Obligations

~~Video Products~~For transaction prices allocated to remaining performance obligations, we apply practical expedients and ~~Solutions~~

~~We offer a wide range~~do not disclose quantitative or qualitative information for remaining performance obligations (i) that have original expected durations of ~~video products~~one year or less and ~~solutions from sales of storage~~(ii) where we recognize revenue equal to what we have the right to invoice and ~~workflow solutions, our media management solutions and our video creative tools, which include our Media Composer, NEXIS, Airspeed, Maestro and Media Central product lines~~ that consist of software licenses or integrated hardware and software solutions. We sell these products to customers under a contract or signed quote and payment terms are generally 30 to 60 days from delivery. Each individual product sold to a customer represents a distinct performance obligation for us and revenue is recognized atamount corresponds directly with the ~~point in time when control of the product transfers, which is typically when the product is shipped~~value to the customer ~~or, in the case of certain software licenses, when the software license term commences and is accessible by the customer.~~

~~Audio Products and Solutions~~

We offer a wide range of audio products and solutions from sales of digital audio software and workstation solutions and our control surfaces, consoles and live-sound systems, which include our Pro Tools, Pro Tools HD, Pro Tools | S6, VENUE | S6L and Sibelius product lines that consist of software licenses or integrated hardware and software solutions. We sell these products to customers under a contract or signed quote and payment terms are generally 30 to 60 days from delivery. Each individual product sold to a customer represents a distinct performance obligation for us and revenue is recognized at the point in time when control of the product transfers, which is typically when the product is shipped to the customer or, in the case of certain software licenses, when the software license term commences and is accessible by the customer.

~~Subscription Services~~

~~We offer subscription versions of many~~ of our ~~software products with monthly, annual and multi-year terms. While we are beginning~~performance to offer subscription versions for most of our product portfolio in connection with our cloud strategy, current subscription sales primarily consist of our Media Composer, Pro Tools and Sibelius offerings. We sell these products to customers under standard terms and conditions and payment is due upfront, except for webstore transactions which are billed monthly. Contract assets for annual and multi-year subscriptions billed monthly are recorded on our balance sheet upon customer commitment. Subscription services have several performance obligations, including a right to use the software and stand-ready performance obligations to (i) provide unspecified bug fixes and software enhancements, or Software Updates, and (ii) call support when and if needed. The estimated SSP of the right to use the licensed software is recognized at a point in time once control has been transferred and the customer has the ability to access the software. Stand-ready performance obligations related to Software Updates and call support are satisfied over time and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the subscription.date.

~~Support Services~~

We offer support contracts, which are typically annual, for our video and audio products. Support contracts for individual products are sold bundled with initial product offerings or as renewals once initial contracts have lapsed. Support contracts are also sold on an enterprise basis where a customer purchases support for all Avid products owned. Support contracts are provided under our standard terms and conditions and payment is due in advance of the support being provided. Support contracts include stand-ready performance obligations to provide (i) Software Updates, (ii) call support and (iii) hardware maintenance. Support contract performance obligations are satisfied over time and revenue is recognized ratably over the term of the support contract.

Historically, for many of our products, we had an ongoing practice of making when-and-if-available ~~Software Updates~~software updates available to customers free of charge for a period of time after initial sales to customers. The expectation created by this practice of providing free Software Updates represents an implied obligation of a form of post-contract customer support (“Implied PCS”) which represents a performance obligation. While we have ceased providing Implied PCS on new product offerings, we continue to provide Implied PCS for older products that were predominately sold in prior years. Revenue attributable to Implied PCS performance obligations is recognized over time on a ratable basis over the period that Implied PCS is expected to be provided, which is typically six years.

~~Professional Services, Training and Other~~

We sell a variety of professional services, training and other services that complement product and support offerings. Professional services consist primarily of standard configuration, commissioning (i.e., setting up equipment purchased) and on-air support (i.e., monitoring a customer’s production environment available during initial system go-live, live sporting events, etc.) and providing customization services for some of our products. We also offer training and certification programs for many of our products and workflows. Other revenues include shipping and handling charges and reimbursable travel expenses. We sell professional services, training and other services under contracts, signed quote and, for larger projects, statements of work that outline the customer’s specifications and requirements. Services are primarily sold on a time and materials basis, however, fixed fee arrangements are also executed from time to time. Payments are generally billed upon completion of the service or, for larger projects, on an installment basis as services are rendered. While the nature of service deliverables can vary significantly, each service deliverable generally represents a distinct performance obligation and revenue is recognized over time, typically in proportion of the total hours incurred as a percentage of total estimated hours required to complete the project.

~~Enterprise Agreements~~

From time to time, we enter into enterprise wide agreements whereby the customer agrees to purchase specified products and services from us over an extended period of time, often for a single fixed contractual price. For such agreements, management identifies each performance obligation in the contract and allocates the total contract price to each performance obligation based on relative estimated SSP. Once the transaction price is allocated to individualhave remaining performance obligations ~~the components are recognized in the respective categories~~ of ~~revenue above consistent with the timing of the recognition of performance obligations described therein.~~

~~Disaggregated Revenue and Geography Information~~

The increase in contract assets during the six months ended June 30, 2018 is due to (i) continued growth in our subscription offerings and (ii) the timing of payments due under our enterprise network agreements which predominately are payable annually whereas performance obligations are fulfilled on a continuous basis.

We expect ~~deferred~~to recognize revenue ~~recorded as of June 30, 2018 will be recorded as revenue within the next 12 months, except~~ for ~~Implied PCS~~these remaining performance obligations of $5.0 million for the remainder of 2019 and ~~long-term support agreements. We expect $6~~$4.8 million, $5$2.9 million, $3$1.5 million and $1$1.0 million ~~of Implied PCS deferred revenue recorded as of June 30, 2018 will be recognized as revenue~~ for the years ended December 31, ~~2019,~~ 2020, 2021, 2022, and ~~2022,~~2023, respectively. ~~We expect $2 million and $1~~

As of March 31, 2019, we had approximately $57.6 million of ~~long-term support deferred revenue recorded~~transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations for certain enterprise agreements that have not yet been fully invoiced. Approximately $55.3 million of these performance obligations were unbilled as of ~~June 30, 2018 will be recognized~~March 31, 2019. Remaining performance obligations represent obligations we must deliver for specific products and services in the ~~years ended December 31, 2019~~future where there is not yet an enforceable right to invoice the customer. Our remaining performance obligations do not include contractually committed minimum purchases that are common in our strategic purchase agreements with resellers since our specific obligations to deliver products or services is not yet known, as customers may satisfy such commitments by purchasing an unknown combination of current or future product offerings. While the timing of fulfilling individual performance obligations under the contracts can vary dramatically based on customer requirements, we expect to recognize the $57.6 million in roughly equal installments through 2026.

Remaining performance obligation estimates are subject to change and ~~2020 respectively.~~are affected by several factors, including terminations due to contract breach, contract amendments and changes in the expected timing of delivery.

2.00% Convertible Senior Notes due 2020

On June 15, 2015, we issued $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of our Notes in an offering conducted in accordance with Rule 144A under the Securities Act of 1933. The Notes pay interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year at an annual rate of 2.00% and mature on June 15, 2020, unless earlier ~~converted~~repurchased or ~~repurchased~~converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date.

The Lenders originally agreed to provide us with (a) a term loan in the aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million (the “Term Loan”), and (b) a revolving credit facility (the “Credit Facility”) of up to a maximum of $5.0 million in borrowings outstanding at any time. We granted a security interest on substantially all of our assets to secure the obligations under the Term Loan and the Credit Facility. The Term Loan requires us to use 50% of excess cash flow, as defined in the Financing Agreement, to repay outstanding principal of the loans under the Financing Agreement. The Financing Agreement contains customary representations and warranties, covenants, mandatory prepayments, and events of default under which our payment obligations may be accelerated.

On November 9, 2017, we entered into an amendment and ~~extended~~borrowed an additional $15.0 million term loan and increased the amount available under the Credit Facility by $5.0 million.

On May 10, 2018, we entered into an amendment to the Financing Agreement, which extended the maturity of the Financing Agreement to May 2023, and increased the Term Loan by $22.7 million and the amount available under the Credit Facility by $12.5 million, for an aggregate amount available of $22.5 million. Under the terms of the amendment, aggregate quarterly principal repayments beginning September 30, 2018 through June 30, 2020 will be $318,750, then from July 1, 2020 through June 30, 2021 equal to $796,875, finally from July 1, 2021 through May 10, 2023 equal to $1,593,750. ~~Following~~

There were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility as of March 31, 2019. We were in compliance with the Financing Agreement covenants as of March 31, 2019. We recorded $2.9 million and $2.3 million of interest expenses on the Term Loan for the three months ended March 31, 2019 and 2018, respectively.

On April 8, 2019, we entered into an amendment to the Financing Agreement. The amendment provides for an additional delayed draw term loan commitment in the aggregate principal amount of $100 million (the “Delayed Draw Funds”), which may be used to fund the purchase of our Notes. On May 2, 2019, we received the Delayed Draw Funds under the Financing Agreement. The Delayed Draw Funds will remain available to us to purchase Notes for a period of 90 calendar days. At the end of such 90-day period, any remaining Delayed Draw Funds that have not been used to purchase Notes must be repaid and no further funds will be available to borrow under the commitment. Any Delayed Draw Funds drawn and used to fund the purchase of the Notes will mature on May 10, 2023, the current maturity date under the Financing Agreement. Under the terms of the amendment, ~~effective date,~~ interest accrues on the Delay Draw Funds and the existing outstanding borrowings under the ~~Term Loan and Credit Facility (each as defined in the~~ Financing ~~Agreement)~~Agreement at a rate of either the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Financing Agreement) plus ~~6.625%~~6.25% or a Reference Rate (as defined in the Financing Agreement) plus ~~5.625%~~5.25%, at our option. The amendment also modified the covenant ~~requiring~~that requires us to maintain a ~~Leverage Ratio (defined to mean~~leverage ratio based on the ~~ratio~~level of ~~(a)~~availability plus unrestricted cash on-hand. For a more detailed description of the sum of indebtedness under the Term Loan and Credit Facility, capitalized leases and non-cash collateralized letters of credit to (b) consolidated EBITDA) of no greater than 3.00:1.00 for the four quarters ended June 30, 2018 through December 31, 2018, 2.50:1.00 for the four quarters ending March 31, 2019 through December 31, 2019, 2.25:1.00 for the four quarters ending March 31, 2020 through March 31, 2021, 2.00:1.00 for the four quarters ending June 30, 2021 through December 31, 2022, respectively, and thereafter declining to 1.50:1.00.

~~The maximum available credit under the Credit Facility is $22.5 million. There were no amounts outstanding under the Credit Facility as of June 30, 2018.

CRITICAL ACCOUNTING POLICIES AND ESTIMATES

Our condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America. The preparation of these financial statements requires us to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities as of the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. We base our estimates and judgments on historical experience and various other factors we believe to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities and the amounts of revenues and expenses. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

We believe that our critical accounting policies and estimates are those related to revenue recognition and allowances for sales returns and exchanges; discount rates used for lease liabilities, stock-based compensation; income tax assets and liabilities; and restructuring charges and accruals. We believe these policies and estimates are critical because they most significantly affect the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and involve our most complex and subjective estimates and judgments. A discussion of our critical accounting policies and estimates may be found in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017~~2018 in Item 7, “Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” under the heading “Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates” and below. There have been no significant changes to the identification of the accounting policies and estimates that are deemed critical. On January 1, 2018, we adopted ASC Topic 606 using the modified retrospective method applied to contracts not completed as of January 1, 2018. See Note 1, Note 9, and the Revenue Recognition discussion below for a further description. As a result of our adoption of ASC 606 effective January 1, 2018 using the modified retrospective method, prior period revenue amounts have not been adjusted to conform with ASC 606 and therefore may not be comparable.

We enter into contracts with customers that include various combinations of products and services, which are typically capable of being distinct and are accounted for as separate performance obligations. We account for a contract when (i) it has approval and commitment from both parties, (ii) the rights of the parties have been identified, (iii) payment terms have been identified, (iv) the contract has commercial substance and (v) collectibility is probable. We recognize revenue upon transfer of control of promised products or services to customers, which typically occurs upon shipment or delivery depending on the terms of the underlying contracts, in an amount that reflects the consideration we expect to receive in exchange for those products or services.

See Note 10 for disaggregated revenue schedules and further discussion on revenue and deferred revenue performance obligations and the timing of revenue recognition.

We have operating leases for facilities and certain equipment in North America, Europe and Asia. Our ~~process for determining SSP for each performance obligation involves significant management judgment. In determining SSP, we maximize observable inputs~~operating lease right-of-use assets and ~~consider a number of data points, including:~~

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

The following table sets forth certain items from our condensed consolidated statements of operations as a percentage of net revenues for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019 and ~~2017:~~2018:

Our net revenues are derived mainly from sales of ~~video and audio hardware and software~~ products and solutions for digital media content production, management and distribution, and related professional services and maintenance contracts. We commonly sell large, complex solutions to our customers that, due to their strategic nature, have long lead times where the timing of order execution and fulfillment can be difficult to predict. In addition, the rapid evolution of the media industry is changing our customers’ needs, businesses and revenue models, which is influencing their short-term and long-term purchasing decisions. As a result of these factors, the timing and amount of product revenue recognized each quarter related to these large orders, as well as the services associated with them, can fluctuate from quarter to quarter and cause significant volatility in our quarterly operating results. For a discussion of these factors, see the risk factors discussed in Part I - Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

~~Video~~ Products and Solutions Revenues

~~Video~~Our products and solutions revenues are derived primarily from sales of our storage and workflow solutions, media management solutions, ~~and~~ video creative tools. Video products and solutions revenues increased $0.2 million, or 0.8%, for the three months ended June 30, 2018, and increased $3.0 million, or 5.4%, for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same periods in 2017. The increases were primarily the result of improved storage product sales.

~~Audio Products and Solutions Revenues~~

~~Audio products and solutions revenues are derived primarily from sales of our~~tools, digital audio software and workstation solutions, and our control surfaces, consoles and live-sound systems. ~~Audio products~~Products and solutions revenues ~~decreased $1.5~~increased $8.0 million, or ~~7.1%~~17.2%, for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2018, and decreased $8.8 million, or 20.5%, for the six months ended June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, compared to the same ~~periods~~period in ~~2017.~~2018.

Gross Margin Percentage

Gross margin percentage, which is net revenues less costs of revenues divided by net revenues, fluctuates based on factors such as the mix of products sold, the cost and proportion of third-party hardware and software included in the systems sold, the offering of product upgrades, price discounts and other sales-promotion programs, the distribution channels through which products are sold, the timing of new product introductions, sales of aftermarket hardware products such as disk drives and currency exchange-rate fluctuations. For a discussion of these factors, see the risk factors discussed in Part I - Item 1A under the heading “Risk Factors” in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, ~~2017.~~2018.

selling expense categories for the three ~~and six~~ months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same periods in 2017, were primarily due to higher commissions and travel expenses. The increase in sales kickoff meeting expenses for the six months ended June 30, 2018,March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2017, was the result of the cancellation of 2017 sales kickoff meeting due to the cost efficiency program which was substantially completed in 2017. The increases in advertising and promotion expenses for the three and six months ended June 30, 2018, ~~compared to the same periods in 2017,~~ were primarily the result of ~~more spending on the National Association of Broadcasters trade show. The~~our programs to increase ~~in consulting~~operational efficiencies and outside services for the six months ended June 30, 2018, compared to the same period in 2017, was primarily due to more contractors used to meet higher demand for professional services from our customers during the first quarter of 2018.reduce costs.

General and Administrative Expenses

General and administrative (“G&A”) expenses consist primarily of employee compensation and benefits for administrative, executive, finance and legal personnel; audit, legal and strategic consulting fees; and insurance, information systems and

facilities costs. Information systems and facilities costs reported within general and administrative expenses are net of allocations to other expenses categories. G&A expenses ~~increased $0.4~~decreased $0.2 million, or ~~2.9%~~1.2%, for the three months ended ~~June 30, 2018, and decreased $0.1 million, or 0.3%, for the six months ended June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, compared to the same ~~periods~~period in ~~2017.~~2018.

The ~~$0.4 million and $0.3 million decrease in the~~ tax provision increase for the three ~~and six~~ months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2019, compared to the same period in 2018, is primarily ~~related~~due to ~~changes~~the increase in ~~the jurisdictional mix of earnings partially offset by the 2017 benefit associated with amortization of foreign intangibles which was not present in 2018.~~worldwide pre-tax income. No benefit was provided for the tax loss generated in the United States due to a full valuation on the deferred tax asset. In addition, the estimated annual effective tax rate excluded the United States due to its pre-tax loss position.

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“TCJA”) was signed into law. The TCJA changed many aspects of U.S. corporate income taxation and included reduction of the corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21% , implementation of a territorial tax system and imposition of a tax on deemed repatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries. The TCJA was effective as of December 31, 2017 and at that time we made a reasonable estimate of the effects on our existing deferred tax balances and the one-time transition tax. As of June 30, 2018, we have not completed our accounting for the tax effects of the TCJA nor does the provision recorded at June 30, 2018 include any related adjustments for the effects of the TCJA. We will continue to assess our provision for income taxes as future guidance is issued, but do not currently anticipate significant revisions will be necessary. Any such revisions will be treated in accordance with the one year measurement period guidance outlined in Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118. The ultimate impact may differ from these provisional amounts, possibly materially, due to, among other things, additional analysis, changes in interpretations and assumptions we have made, additional regulatory guidance that may be issued, and actions we may take as a result of the TCJA. The accounting is expected to be complete within the one year measurement period particularly after the 2017 U.S. corporate income tax return is filed in 2018.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

Liquidity and Sources of Cash

Our principal sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents totaling $55.3 million as of March 31, 2019. We have generally funded operations in recent years through the use of existing cash balances, supplemented from time to time with the proceeds of long-term debt and borrowings under our credit facilities. ~~Our principal sources of liquidity include cash and cash equivalents totaling $60.2 million as of June 30, 2018.~~

In February 2016, we committed to a cost efficiency program that encompassed a series of measures intended to allow us to more efficiently operate in a leaner, more directed cost structure. These measures included reductions in our workforce, consolidation of facilities, transfers of certain business processes to lower cost regions and reductions in other third-party services costs. The cost efficiency program was substantially complete as of December 31, 2017.

On February 26, 2016, we entered into the Financing Agreement with the Lenders. Pursuant to the Financing Agreement, we entered into a term loan in the original aggregate principal amount of $100.0 million. The Financing Agreement also originally provided us with the ability to draw up to a maximum of $5.0 million in revolving credit.

~~On November 9, 2017,~~April 8, 2019, we entered into an amendment to the Financing ~~Agreement, which extended~~Agreement. The amendment provides for an additional ~~$15.0 million~~delayed draw term loan commitment in the aggregate principal amount of $100 million, which may be used to fund the purchase of our Notes. On May 2, 2019, we received the Delayed Draw Funds under the Financing Agreement. The Delayed Draw Funds will remain available to us to purchase Notes for a period of 90 calendar days. At the end of such 90-day period, any remaining Delayed Draw Funds that have not been used to purchase Notes must be repaid and ~~increased~~no further funds will be available to borrow under the ~~amount~~commitment. Any Delayed Draw Funds drawn and used to fund the purchase of ~~available revolving credit by $5.0 million.~~

Our ability to satisfy the ~~Leverage Ratio~~leverage ratio covenant in the future is dependent on our ability to maintain ~~bookings and billings~~revenues at or above levels experienced over the last 12 months. In recent quarters, we have experienced volatility in ~~bookings and billings~~revenues resulting from, among other things, (i) our transition towards subscription and recurring revenue streams and the resulting decline in traditional upfront product sales, (ii) dramatic changes in the media industry and the impact it has on our customers, (iii) the impact of new and anticipated product launches and features, and (iv) volatility in currency rates. In addition to the impact of new bookings and billings, in 2017 we ceased to recognize revenues related to the existence of Implied Maintenance Release PCS in prior periods, which will have an adverse impact on our Leverage Ratio.

In the event ~~bookings and billings~~revenues in future quarters are lower than we currently anticipate, we may be forced to take remedial actions which could include, among other things (and where allowed by the ~~Lenders)~~lenders), (i) further cost reductions, (ii) seeking replacement financing, (iii) raising funds through the issuance of additional equity or debt securities or the incurrence of additional borrowings, or (iv) disposing of certain assets or businesses. Such remedial actions, which may not be available on favorable terms or at all, could have a material adverse impact on our business. If we are not in compliance with the ~~Leverage Ratio~~leverage ratio covenant and are unable to obtain an amendment or waiver, such noncompliance may result in an event of default under the Financing Agreement, which could permit acceleration of the outstanding indebtedness under the Financing Agreement and require us to repay such indebtedness before the scheduled due date. If an event of default were to occur, we might not have sufficient funds available to make the payments required. If we are unable to repay amounts owed, the ~~Lenders~~lenders may be entitled to foreclose on and sell substantially all of our assets, which secure our borrowings under the Financing Agreement.

Our cash requirements vary depending on factors such as the growth of ~~our~~the business, changes in working capital, capital expenditures, and ~~capital expenditures.~~obligations under our cost efficiency program. We expect to operate the business and execute our strategic initiatives principally with funds generated from operations, remaining net proceeds from the term loan borrowings under the Financing Agreement, and ~~draw~~draws of up to a maximum of $22.5 million under the Financing Agreement’s revolving credit facility. We anticipate that we will have sufficient internal and external sources of liquidity to fund operations and anticipated working capital and other expected cash needs for at least the next 12 months as well as for the foreseeable future.

Cash Flows from Operating Activities

Cash ~~used in~~provided by operating activities aggregated ~~$0.5~~$6.4 million for the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. The ~~decrease~~increase in cash provided by operations compared to the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2017~~March 31, 2018 was primarily due to increased revenues and our programs to increase operational efficiencies and reduce costs, the ~~timing~~impact of ~~annual bonus payments.~~which was partially offset by an increase in working capital requirements.

Cash Flows from Investing Activities

For the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, net cash flows used in investing activities reflected ~~$4.9~~$1.8 million used for the purchase of property and equipment. Our purchases of property and equipment largely consist of computer hardware and software to support R&D activities and information systems.

Cash Flows from Financing Activities

For the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, net cash flows ~~provided by~~used in financing activities were primarily ~~due to~~for the ~~$22.7 million additional Term Loan, $3.0 million quarterly principal payments, and $1.7 million settlement~~repurchase of ~~the~~our outstanding Notes.

RECENT ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS

Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncementsand Recent Accounting Pronouncements To Be Adopted

Our recently adopted and to be adopted accounting pronouncements are set forth in Note 1 “Financial Information” of our Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements under Part I, Item 1 of this Form 10-Q.

Foreign Currency Exchange Risk

We have significant international operations and derive more than half of our revenues from customers outside the United States. This business is, for the most part, transacted through international subsidiaries and generally in the currency of the end-user customers. Therefore, we are exposed to the changes in foreign currency exchange rates that could adversely affect our revenues, net income and cash flow.

~~We had foreign exchange gains and losses offset to zero for~~During the ~~six~~three months ended ~~June 30,~~March 31, 2019 and 2018, we recorded an immaterial net gain and a net ~~foreign exchange losses~~loss of ~~$3.2~~$0.5 million, ~~for the same period in 2017.~~respectively. The foreign exchange gains and losses were resulted from foreign currency denominated transactions and the revaluation of foreign currency denominated assets and liabilities.

A hypothetical change of 10% in appreciation or depreciation of foreign currency exchange rates from the quoted foreign currency exchange rates as of ~~June 30, 2018~~March 31, 2019, would not have a significant impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

We borrowed $100.0 million under the Term Loan on February 26, 2016, ~~and~~an additional $15.0 million and $22.7 million under the Term Loan on November 9, 2017 and May 10, 2018, respectively. We also maintain a revolving Credit Facility that allows us to borrow up to $22.5 million. Following the ~~latest~~ amendment ~~Effective Date,~~effective May 10, 2018, interest accrues on outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan and the Credit Facility (each as defined in the Financing Agreement) at a rate of either the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Financing Agreement) plus 6.625% or a Reference Rate (as defined in the Financing Agreement) plus 5.625%, at our option. Under the terms of the amendment effective April 8, 2019, interest accrues on outstanding borrowings under the Term Loan and the Credit facility (each as defined in the Financing Agreement) at a rate of either the LIBOR Rate (as defined in the Financing Agreement) plus 6.25% or a Reference Rate (as defined in the Financing Agreement) plus 5.25%, at our option. A hypothetical 10% increase or decrease in interest rates paid on outstanding borrowings under the Financing Agreement would not have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

On June 15, 2015, we issued $125.0 million aggregate principal amount of our Notes pursuant to the terms of an indenture.

We purchased $2.0 million and of our Notes ~~on December 15,~~during 2017, $16.2 million during 2018, and an additional ~~$2.0~~$3.9 million on ~~February 8, 2018.~~January 22, 2019. The Notes pay interest semi-annually on June 15 and December 15 of each year, at an annual rate of 2.00% and mature on June 15, 2020 unless earlier repurchased or converted in accordance with their terms prior to such date. The fair value of the Notes is dependent on the price and volatility of our common stock as well as movements in interest rates. The fair value of our common stock and interest rate changes affect the fair value of the Notes, but do not impact our financial position, cash flows or results of operations due to the fixed nature of the debt obligations.

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

Our management, with the participation and supervision of our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, is responsible for our disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act. Disclosure controls and procedures are controls and other procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported, within the time periods specified under SEC rules and forms. Disclosure controls and procedures include controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to our principal executive officer and our principal financial officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and the Chief Financial Officer, carried out an evaluation of the effectiveness of our disclosure controls and procedures as of ~~June 30, 2018.~~March 31, 2019. Management recognizes that any controls

and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving their objectives and management necessarily applies its judgment in evaluating the cost-benefit relationship of possible controls and

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting during the quarterly period ended ~~June 30, 2018,~~March 31, 2019, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.

Inherent Limitation on the Effectiveness of Internal Controls

The effectiveness of any system of internal control over financial reporting is subject to inherent limitations, including the exercise of judgment in designing, implementing, operating, and evaluating the controls and procedures, and the inability to eliminate misconduct completely. Accordingly, any system of internal control over financial reporting can only provide reasonable, not absolute, assurances. In addition, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate. We intend to continue to monitor and upgrade our internal controls as necessary or appropriate for our business, but cannot assure that such improvements will be sufficient to provide us with effective internal control over financial reporting.
