Mercury is a leading technology company serving the Company executed a Master Receivables Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) with Bankaerospace and defense industry, positioned at the intersection of America, N.A. (the “Bank”) forhigh-tech and defense. Revenues are derived from the salesales of certain eligible accounts receivable balancesproducts that are grouped into one of the Company, up to a maximum of $30,000. Factoring under the Purchase Agreement is treated as a true sale of accounts receivable by the Company.following three categories: (i) components; (ii) modules and sub-assemblies; and (iii) integrated subsystems. The Company has a continued involvement in servicing accounts receivable underalso generates revenues from the Purchase Agreement, but has no significant retained interests related to the factored accounts receivable.  
Proceeds from amounts factored by the Company are recorded as an increase to cashperformance of services, including systems engineering support, consulting, maintenance and a reduction to accounts receivable outstanding in the consolidated balance sheets. Cash flows attributable to factoring are reflected as cash flows from operating activities in the Company’s consolidated statements of cash flows. Factoring fees are included as selling, general,other support, testing and administrative expenses in the Company’s consolidated statements of operations and comprehensive income.
The Company factored accounts receivable and incurred factoring fees of $18,821 and $69, respectively, for the three and six months ended December 31, 2017.
REVENUE RECOGNITION
The Company relies upon FASB ASC 605, Revenue Recognition, to account for its revenue transactions. Revenue is recognized upon shipment provided that title and risk of loss have passed to the customer, there is persuasive evidence of an arrangement, the sales price is fixed or determinable, collection of the related receivable is reasonably assured, and customer acceptance criteria, if any, have been successfully demonstrated. Out-of-pocket expenses that are reimbursable by the customer are included in revenue and cost of revenue.
Certain contracts with customers require the Company to perform tests of its products prior to shipment to ensure their performance complies with the Company’s published product specifications and, on occasion, with additional customer-requested specifications. In these cases, the Company conducts such tests and, if they are completed successfully, includes a written confirmation with each order shipped. As a result, at the time of each product shipment, the Company believes that no further customer testing requirements exist and that there is no uncertainty of acceptance by its customer.
The Company uses FASB Accounting Standards Update ("ASU") No. 2009-13 (“FASB ASU 2009-13”), Multiple-Deliverable Revenue Arrangements. FASB ASU 2009-13 establishes a selling price hierarchy for determining the selling price of a deliverable, which includes: (1) vendor-specific objective evidence (“VSOE”) if available; (2) third-party evidence (“TPE”) if VSOE is not available; and (3) best estimated selling price (“BESP”), if neither VSOE nor TPE is available. Additionally, FASB ASU 2009-13 expands the disclosure requirements related to a vendor’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements. 
The Company enters into multiple-deliverable arrangements that may include a combination of hardware components, related integration or other services. These arrangements generally do not include any performance-, cancellation-, termination- or refund-type provisions. Total revenue recognized under multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements was 37% and 38% of total revenue in the three and six months ended December 31, 2017, respectively. Total revenue recognized under multiple-deliverable revenue arrangements was 23% and 29% of total revenues in the three and six months ended December 31, 2016, respectively.
In accordance with the provisions of FASB ASU 2009-13, the Company allocates arrangement consideration to each deliverable in an arrangement based on its relative selling price. The Company generally expects that it will not be able to establish VSOE or TPE due to limited single element transactions and the nature of the markets in which the Company competes, and, as such, the Company typically determines its relative selling price using BESP. The objective of BESP is to determine the price at which the Company would transact if the productinstallation. Each promised good or service were sold by the Company onwithin a standalone basis.
The Company's determination of BESP involves the consideration of several factors based on the specific facts and circumstances of each arrangement. Specifically, the Company considers the cost to produce the deliverable, the anticipated margin on that deliverable, the selling price and profit margin for similar parts, the Company’s ongoing pricing strategy and policies (as evident from the price list established and updated by management on a regular basis), the value of any enhancements that have been built into the deliverable and the characteristics of the varying markets in which the deliverable is sold.
The Company analyzes the selling prices used in its allocation of arrangement consideration at a minimum on an annual basis. Selling prices will be analyzed on a more frequent basis if a significant change in the Company’s business necessitates a more timely analysis or if the Company experiences significant variances in its selling prices.
Each deliverable within the Company’s multiple-deliverable revenue arrangementscontract is accounted for as a separate unit of accountingseparately under the guidance of FASB ASU 2009-13ASC 606 if both of the following criteriathey are met: the delivered itemdistinct. Promised goods or items have value to the customer on a standalone basis; and for an arrangement that includes a general right of return relative to the delivered item(s), delivery or performance of the undelivered item(s) is considered probable and substantially in the control of the Company. The Company's revenue arrangements generally do not include a general right of return relative to delivered products. The Company


considers a deliverable to have standalone value if the item is sold separately by the Company or another vendor or if the item could be resold by the customer.
Deliverablesservices not meeting the criteria for being a separate unit of accountingdistinct performance obligation are combinedbundled into a single performance obligation with a deliverableother goods or services that doestogether meet that criterion.the criteria for being distinct. The appropriate allocation of arrangement considerationthe transaction price and recognition of revenue is then determined for the combined unitbundled performance obligation.
Revenue recognized at a point in time generally relates to contracts that include a combination of accounting.components, modules and sub-assemblies, integrated subsystems and related system integration or other services. Contracts with distinct performance obligations recognized at a point in time, with or without an allocation of the transaction price, totaled 64% and 73% of revenues for the first quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019, respectively.
The Company also engages in long-term contracts for development, production and servicesservice activities which it accountsand recognizes revenue for consistent with FASB ASC 605-35, Accounting for Performanceperformance obligations over time. These long-term contracts involve the design, development, manufacture, or modification of Construction-Typecomplex modules and Certain Production-Type Contracts,sub-assemblies or integrated subsystems and other relevant revenue recognition accounting literature.related services. Long-term contracts include both fixed-price and cost reimbursable contracts. The Company considers the nature of theseCompany’s cost reimbursable contracts typically include cost-plus fixed fee and the types of products and services provided when determining the proper accounting for a particular contract. Generally for fixed-price contracts, other than service-type contracts, revenue is recognized primarily under the percentage of completion method or, for certain short-term contracts, by the completed contract method. Revenue from service-type fixed-price contracts is recognized ratably over the contract period or by other appropriate input or output methods to measure service provided, and contract costs are expensed as incurred. The Company establishes billing terms at the time project deliverables and milestones are agreed. The risk to the Company on a fixed-price contract is that if estimates to complete the contract change from one period to the next, profit levels will vary from period to period. For time and materialsmaterial contracts.
Total revenue recognized under long-term contracts revenue reflectsover time was 36% and 27% of total revenues for the number of direct labor hours expended in the performance of a contract multiplied by the contract billing rate, as well as reimbursement of other billable direct costs. For all types of contracts, the Company recognizes anticipated contract losses as soon as they become knownfirst quarters ended October 2, 2020 and estimable.September 27, 2019, respectively.
The Company also considers whether contracts should be combined or segmented in accordance with the applicable criteria under GAAP. The Company combines closely related contracts when all the applicable criteria under GAAP are met. The combination of two or more contracts requires judgment in determining whether the intent of entering into the contracts was effectively to enter into a single project, which should be combined to reflect an overall profit rate. Similarly, the Company may separate a project, which may consist of a single contract or group of contracts, with varying rates of profitability, only if the applicable criteria under GAAP are met. Judgment also is involved in determining whether a single contract or group of contracts may be segmented based on how the arrangement was negotiated and the performance criteria. The decision to combine a group of contracts or segment a contract could change the amount of revenue and gross profit recorded in a given period.
The use of contract accounting requires significant judgment relative to estimating total contract revenues and costs, including assumptions relative to the length of time to complete the contract, the nature and complexity of the work to be performed, anticipated increases in wages and prices for subcontractor services and materials, and the availability of subcontractor services and materials. The Company’s estimates are based upon the professional knowledge and experience of its engineers, program managers and other personnel, who review each long-term contract monthly to assess the contract’s schedule, performance, technical matters and estimated cost at completion. Changes in estimates are applied retrospectively and when adjustments in estimated contract costs are identified, such revisions may result in current period adjustments to earnings applicable to performance in prior periods.
Contract costs also may include estimated contract recoveries for matters such as contract changes and claims for unanticipated contract costs. The Company records revenue associated with these matters only when the amount of recovery can be estimated reliably and realization is probable.
The Company defines service revenues as revenue from activities that are not associated with the design, development, production, or delivery of tangible assets, software or specific capabilities sold. Examples of the Company's service revenues include: analyst services and systems engineering support, consulting, maintenance and other support, testing and installation. The Company combines its product and service revenues into a single class as service revenues are less than 10 percent of total revenues.
The Companygenerally does not provide its customers with rights of product return other than those related to assurance warranty provisions that permit repair or replacement of defective goods.goods over a period of 12 to 36 months. The Company accrues for anticipated warranty costs upon product shipment. RevenuesThe Company does not consider activities related to such assurance warranties, if any, to be a separate performance obligation. The Company does offer separately priced extended warranties which generally range from product royalties12 to 36 months that are treated as separate performance obligations. The transaction price allocated to extended warranties is recognized upon invoice byover time in proportion to the Company. Additionally, allcosts expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract.
All revenues are reported net of government assessed taxes (e.g., sales taxes or value-added taxes). Refer to Note L for disaggregation of revenue for the period.

ACCOUNTS RECEIVABLE
Accounts receivable, net, represents amounts that have been billed and are currently due from customers. The Company maintains an allowance for credit losses to provide for the estimated amount of receivables that will not be collected. The Company provides credit to customers in the normal course of business. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers’ financial condition and limits the amount of credit extended as necessary. The allowance is based upon an assessment of the customers’ credit worthiness, reasonable forecasts about the future, history with the customer, and the age of the receivable balance. The Company typically invoices a customer upon shipment of the product (or completion of a service) for contracts where revenue is recognized at a point in time. For contracts where revenue is recognized over time, the invoicing events are typically based on specified performance obligation deliverables or milestone events, or quantifiable measures of performance.
CONTRACT BALANCES
Contract balances result from the timing of revenue recognized, billings and cash collections, and the generation of contract assets and liabilities. Contract assets represent revenue recognized in excess of amounts invoiced to the customer and the right to payment is not subject to the passage of time. Contract assets are presented as unbilled receivables and costs in excess of billings on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract liabilities consist of deferred product revenue, billings in excess of revenues, deferred service revenue, and customer advances. Deferred product revenue represents amounts that have been invoiced to customers, but are not yet recognizable as revenue because the Company has not satisfied its performance obligations under the contract. Billings in excess of revenues represents milestone billing contracts where the billings of the contract exceed recognized revenues. Deferred service revenue primarily represents amounts invoiced to customers for annual maintenance contracts or extended warranty contracts, which are recognized over time in proportion to the costs expected to be incurred in satisfying the obligations under the contract. Customer advances represent deposits received from customers on an order. Contract liabilities are included in deferred revenue and the long-term portion of deferred revenue is included within other non-current liabilities on the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheets. Contract balances are reported in a net position on a contract-by-contract basis.
The contract asset balances were $108,754 and $90,289 as of October 2, 2020 and July 3, 2020, respectively. The contract asset balance increased due to growth in revenue recognized and timing of billable events under long-term contracts over time during the first quarter ended October 2, 2020. The contract liability balances were $27,655 and $19,892 as of October 2, 2020 and July 3, 2020, respectively. The increase was due to a greater number of long-term contracts with advanced billings across multiple programs.
Revenue recognized for the first quarter ended October 2, 2020 that was included in the contract liability balance at July 3, 2020 was $9,030. Revenue recognized for the first quarter ended September 27, 2019 that was included in the contract liability balance at June 30, 2019 was $5,376.
REMAINING PERFORMANCE OBLIGATIONS
The Company includes in its computation of remaining performance obligations customer orders for which it has accepted signed sales orders. The definition of remaining performance obligations excludes contracts with original expected durations of less than one year, as well as those contracts that provide the customer with the right to cancel or terminate the order with no substantial penalty, even if the Company’s historical experience indicates the likelihood of cancellation or termination is remote. As of October 2, 2020, the aggregate amount of the transaction price allocated to remaining performance obligations was $287,526. The Company expects to recognize approximately 72% of its remaining performance obligations as revenue in the next 12 months and the balance thereafter.

In August 2018, the FASB issued ASU No. 2018-14, Compensation—Retirement Benefits—Defined Benefit Plans—General (Topic 715) Changes to the Disclosure Requirements for Defined Benefit Plans, an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in this ASU remove disclosures that no longer are considered cost-beneficial, clarify the specific requirements of disclosures, and add disclosure requirements identified as relevant. For public business entities, the standard is effective for fiscal years ending after December 15, 2020. The ASU requires retrospective adoption and permits early adoption for all entities. The Company does not expect this guidance to have a material impact to its consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
In December 2019, the FASB issued ASU No. 2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Simplifying the Accounting for Income Taxes, an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. The amendments in this ASU simplify the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions for intraperiod tax allocations and deferred tax liabilities for equity method investments and add guidance as to whether a step-up in tax basis of goodwill relates to a business combination or a separate transaction. This ASU is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the effect that ASU 2019-12 will have on its consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
RICHLAND TECHNOLOGIES ECENTLYADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective July 4, 2020, the Company adopted ASU No. 2016-13, Financial Instruments – Credit Losses (Topic 326): Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial Instruments, which broadens the information that an entity must consider in developing its expected credit loss estimate for assets measured either collectively or individually. This ASU requires an entity to record an allowance for credit losses for certain financial instruments and financial assets, including trade receivables, based on expected losses rather than incurred losses. The Company will rely on historical experience, current conditions, and reasonable and supportable forecasts that affect the collectability of the reported amount and will exercise judgment in determining the relevant information and estimation methods that are appropriate in measurement of the credit losses. This adoption did not have a material impact to the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Effective July 4, 2020 the Company adopted ASU 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment. This ASU eliminates the requirement to measure the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all assets and liabilities within that unit, the Step 2 test, from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited by the amount of goodwill in that reporting unit. This adoption did not have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Effective July 4, 2020 the Company adopted ASU No. 2018-15, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other—Internal-Use Software (Subtopic 350-40), an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification.

E.Inventory
E. Inventory
Inventory is stated at the lower of cost (first-in, first-out) or net realizable value, and consists of materials, labor and overhead. On a quarterly basis, the Company uses consistent methodologies to evaluate inventory for net realizable value. Once an item is written down, the value becomes the new inventory cost basis. The Company reduces the value of inventory for excess and obsolete inventory, consisting of on-hand inventory in excess of estimated usage. The excess and obsolete inventory evaluation is based upon assumptions about future demand, history,historical usage, product mix and possible alternative uses. Inventory was comprised of the following:

On December 22, 2017, the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) was enacted by the U.S. government. The Tax Act has impacted the U.S. statutory Federal tax rate that the Company will use going forward, which has been reduced to 21% from 35%. As the Company has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory Federal rate of approximately 28% for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, and 21% for subsequent fiscal years.



The Tax Act also includes items that the Company expects will increase its tax expense including, but not limited to, the elimination of the domestic manufacturing deduction and increased limitations on executive compensation. In addition, the actual effective tax rate may be materially different than the statutory Federal tax rate (including being higher) based on the availability and impact of various other adjustments including but not limited to state taxes, Federal research and development credits, discrete tax benefits related to stock compensation, and the inclusion or exclusion of various items in taxable income which may differ from GAAP income.
To transition to the reduced U.S. corporate tax rate, an adjustment is required to be made to our U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, the adjustment to the U.S. deferred tax assets and liabilities resulted in a tax benefit of $1,286. The Tax Act includes a transition tax, which is a one-time tax charge on accumulated, undistributed foreign earnings. The calculation of accumulated foreign earnings requires an analysis of each foreign entity’s financial results going back to 1986, including historical tax information that is not yet available to management. The Company has not recorded any transition tax associated with its accumulated, undistributed foreign earnings given its current U.S. tax attributes, including the availability of foreign tax credits. For the three months ended December 31, 2017, the Company has recorded a provisional tax expense of $415 as it no longer expects to utilize certain foreign tax credits. The Company continues to evaluate its transition tax obligation and expects to finalize its conclusions by the end of fiscal 2018. The Company does not expect the final amounts to be materially different than those recorded within this period. For the three-months ended December 31, 2017, the Company has recorded all known and estimable impacts of the Tax Act that are effective for fiscal year 2018. In accordance with SEC Staff Accounting Bulletin 118 (“SAB 118”), future adjustments to the provisional numbers will be recorded as discrete adjustments to income tax expense in the period in which those adjustments become estimable and finalized.H.Income Taxes

Since we conduct much of our business with our defense customers via commercial item sales,items, requests by customers are a primary driver of revenue fluctuations from quarter to quarter. Customers specify delivery date requirements that coincide with their need for our products. Because these customers may use our products in connection with a variety of defense programs or

other projects of different sizes and durations, a customer’s orders for one quarter generally do not indicate a trend for future orders by that customer. Additionally, order patterns do not necessarily correlate amongst customers and, therefore, we generally cannot identify sequential quarterly trends.

OUR RESPONSE TO COVID

The COVID pandemic continues to impact people and countries around the world. This is a time of extraordinary uncertainty. It is also a time when the work we do in support of strategic national priorities is recognized as critical.

At Mercury, we remain focused on the four goals we established at the outset of the COVID crisis: to protect the health, safety, and livelihoods of our people; to mitigate or reduce operational and financial risks to the Company; to continue to deliver on our commitments to customers and shareholders; and to continue the mission-critical work Mercury does every day to support the ongoing security of our nation, our brave men and women in uniform, and the communities in which we all live.

To protect the health, safety, and livelihoods of our employees, we took immediate action on several fronts, instituting a variety of new policies and programs including, but not limited to, additional sick leave for COVID-related circumstances, a work-from-home policy for all employees who can perform their duties remotely as well as increasing overtime pay for eligible employees. We also established a relief fund, with an initial $1 million budget, to assist eligible Mercury employees, including temporary agency employees, experiencing unexpected financial burdens as a result of the COVID crisis. The intent of the Mercury COVID Relief Fund is to provide financial assistance to employees who may otherwise be unable to pay for basic necessities, unexpected care for immediate family members, or other urgent needs that promote their health and safety during the current COVID crisis.
As we have been designated an “essential business” as a part of the defense industrial base, during the year, our facilities continued to operate while complying with social distancing requirements consistent with Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (“CDC”) guidelines and requirements. We implemented numerous preventive measures to maximize the safety of our facilities, including but not limited to, establishing physical segregation areas, implementing environmental cleaning and disinfection protocols in compliance with CDC guidelines and requirements, temperature and COVID testing at our facilities, and limiting non-essential site visits by internal and external visitors.
We will continue to monitor and assess our response to protect the health, safety and livelihoods of our people.

After the completion of four fiscal quarters, acquired businesses will be treated as organic for current and comparable historical periods. The increase in total revenues iswas primarily attributeddue to the Falcon Edge, SEWIP and E2D Hawkeye programs and the increase of $9.0$20.4 million of Acquired revenue. Theseadditional organic revenues which were predominantly driven by increased demand for integrated subsystems, across radar, electronic warfare and C4I applications, within land and naval platforms. The increases in demand for integrated subsystems were partially offset by lowerdecreases to modules and sub-assemblies and components. The organic revenues from the F-35 program and a large ground based radar program.
International revenues, which consist of foreign military sales through the U.S. government, sales to prime defense contractor customers where the end user is known to be outside of the U.S., and direct sales to non-U.S. based customers, increased $12.9 million to $27.9 million during the three months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $15.0 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. International revenues represented 24% and 15% of total revenues during the three months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.


Revenues from EW, C4I, and Other Sensor and Effector increased by $8.1 million, $6.9 million and $6.3 million, respectively, during the three months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2017. The EW increase was driven primarily by a classified radar program, as well as the SEWIPPatriot, CDS, Galaxie and LTAMDS programs, which were partially offset by decreases in a classified missile program whileand the increase in C4I was driven by the F-35CPS program. The increase in Other Sensor and Effector was primarilyTotal revenues also increased $7.9 million from acquired revenue due to higher revenue froma full period of results for APC, which was acquired on September 23, 2019. See the Precision Guidance Kit ("PGK") program.

The increase as a percentage of revenue during the first quarter ended October 2, 2020 was primarily driven by the continued investment in additioninternal R&D to decreased customer funded development.promote future growth, including new opportunities in avionics, secure processing, radar modernization and our trusted custom microelectronics business.
RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
Restructuring and other charges increased $0.2 million to $0.3 million during the three months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $0.1 million during the same period in fiscal 2017. Restructuring and other charges are typically related to acquisitions and organizational redesign programs initiated as part of discrete post-acquisition integration activities. Restructuring and other charges were $1.3 million, during the first quarter ended October 2, 2020, as compared to $0.6 million during the first quarter ended September 27, 2019. Restructuring and other charges during the first quarter ended October 2, 2020 primarily related to severance costs associated with the elimination of 19 positions, predominantly in the manufacturing, sales and R&D functions. These charges related to talent shifts and resource redundancy resulting from the internal reorganization we completed in August which created better alignment with our market and brand strategy as well as promote scale as we continue to grow.

We incurred $0.7 million ofdid not incur any acquisition costs and other related expenses during the three monthsfirst quarter ended December 31, 2017, compared to $1.0October 2, 2020. The first quarter ended September 27, 2019 included $1.4 million during the same period in fiscal 2017. Theof acquisition costs and other related expenses incurred during the three months ended December 31, 2017 relate to the acquisition of Ceres Systems, the holding company that owns Themis Computer (“Themis”, and together with Ceres, collectively the “Acquired Company”), while fiscal 2017 expenses related to the acquisition of CES.APC. We expect to incur acquisition costs and other related expenses periodically in the future as we continue to seek acquisition opportunities to expand our technological capabilities, and new end marketsespecially within the sensor processing chain.and effector and C4I markets. Transaction costs incurred by the acquiree prior to the consummation of an acquisition would not be reflected in our historical results of operations.
INTEREST EXPENSEINCOME
We incurredInterest income decreased to $0.1 million of interest expense during the three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $1.9 million during the same period in fiscal 2017. The decreasefirst quarter ended October 2, 2020, as compared to $1.2 million for the first quarter ended September 27, 2019. This was driven by $1.4 millionthe lower rate earned on cash interest expense and $0.5 million of non-cash interest expense relatedon hand during the first quarter ended October 2, 2020, as compared to the amortization of debt issuance costs related to our former term loan, which was repaid in the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.prior year.

Both periods include $0.8 million of financing and registration fees during the three months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $0.1fees.
INCOME TAXES
We recorded an income tax provision of $2.2 million and an income tax benefit of $2.0 million on income before income taxes of $18.0 million and $17.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2017. The decrease was also driven by a $0.3 million gain related to the amortization of the gain on the sale leaseback of our former headquarters in fiscal 2017, which was fully amortized in fiscal 2017. The decrease was partially offset by a less than $0.1 million foreign exchange


gain during the three monthsfirst quarters ended December 31, 2017, as compared to $0.2 million foreign exchange loss during the same period in fiscal 2017.
INCOME TAXES
On December 22, 2017, the Tax CutsOctober 2, 2020 and Jobs Act of 2017 (the “Tax Act”) was enacted by the U.S. government. The Tax Act has impacted the statutory Federal tax rate that the Company will use going forward, which has been reduced to 21% from 35%. As the Company has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory Federal rate of approximately 28% for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, and 21% for subsequent fiscal years. In addition to the reduced corporate rate we also expect to benefit from the immediate deduction for certain new investments. The Tax Act also includes items that we expect will increase our tax expense including, but not limited to, the elimination of the domestic manufacturing deduction and increased limitations on executive compensation. In addition, the actual effective tax rate may be materially different than the statutory Federal tax rate (including being higher) based on the availability and impact of various other adjustments including but not limited to state taxes, Federal research and development credits, discrete tax benefits related to stock compensation, and the inclusion or exclusion of various items in taxable income which may differ from GAAP income.September 27, 2019, respectively.
During the three monthsfirst quarters ended December 31, 2017October 2, 2020 and 2016,September 27, 2019, we recognized a discrete tax expense and benefit of $0.3$2.5 million and $0.6$6.1 million, respectively, related to excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation. The Company also recognized a discrete tax expense forbenefit of $0.5 million related to foreign tax rate changes during the three months ended December 31, 2017 included the enactment of the Tax Act which revalued the excess tax benefit previously recorded in the three monthsfirst quarter ended September 30, 2017. The excess tax benefit related to stock-based compensation is the result of an increase in value from the stock award between the grant date and the vest date.27, 2019.
OurThe effective tax rate for the three monthsfirst quarters ended December 31, 2017October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019 differed from the Federal statutory tax rate of 28% primarily due to the one-time impact of the Tax Act, Federal and State research and development credits, domestic manufacturing deduction, excess tax benefits related to stockstock-based compensation, and state taxes. Our effective tax rate for the three months ended December 31, 2016 differed from the Federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to Federal research and development credits, domestic manufacturing deduction, excess tax benefits related to stocknon-deductible compensation, and state taxes.
Within the calculation of our annual effective tax rate, we have used assumptions and estimates that may change as a result of future guidance and interpretation from the Internal Revenue Service the SEC, and the FASB. The Tax Act contains many significant changes to the U.S. tax laws, the consequences of which have not yet been fully determined. Changes in corporate tax rates, the net deferred tax assets and/or liabilities relating to our U.S. operations, the taxation of foreign earnings, and the deductibility of expenses contained in the Tax Act could have a material impact on the Company’s future U.S. tax expense.

Total revenues increased $38.3 million, or 21%, to $224.0 million during the six months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2017. The increase in total revenues is primarily attributed to $21.6 million of higher Acquired revenue during the six months ended December 31, 2017. The $16.7 million organic revenue increase was primarily attributed to the SEWIP, F-16 SABR and PGK programs, partially offset by lower revenues from a large ground based radar program and the Digital Electronic Warfare System ("DEWS") and PAC 3 programs.
International revenues, which consist of foreign military sales through the U.S. government, sales to prime defense contractor customers where the end user is known to be outside of the U.S., and direct sales to non-U.S. based customers, increased $15.2 million to $44.3 million during the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $29.1 million in the same period in the prior fiscal year. International revenues represented 20% and 16% of total revenues during the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016, respectively.
Revenues from C4I, EW, and Other Sensor and Effector increased by $15.4 million, $15.1 million, and $11.4 million, respectively, during the three months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2017. The C4I increase was driven primarily by the F-35 program, while the increase in EW was driven by the SEWIP program. The increase in Other Sensor and Effector was primarily due to higher revenue from the PGK program. Additionally, revenues from components and modules & sub-assemblies increased by $28.2 million and $14.3 million, respectively, offset by a $4.2 million reduction to integrated subsystems during the six months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to the same period in fiscal 2017. The components increase was driven primarily by the UAV T-Series and Falcon Edge programs, while the increase in modules and sub-assemblies was driven by the SEWIP program. The decrease in integrated subsystems was primarily due to lower revenues from a large ground based radar program.


GROSS MARGIN
Gross margin was 46.8% for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. The gross margin during the six months ended December 31, 2017 was impacted by lower margin product mix, which was offset by lower inventory step-up amortization of $2.3 million related to our acquired businesses compared to the same period in fiscal 2017.
SELLING, GENERALLIQUIDITYAND ADMINISTRATIVE
Selling, general and administrative expenses increased $4.9 million, or 13%, to $41.8 million during the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $36.9 million in the same period in fiscal 2017. The increase was primarily due to higher compensation expense due to increased headcount from the acquisitions of Delta and RTL, as well as the full period impact of CES. Selling, general and administrative expenses decreased as a percentage of revenues to 18.7% during the six months ended December 31, 2017 from 19.9% during the same period in fiscal 2017. The decrease was primarily due to higher revenues in the six months ended December 31, 2017, as compared to the same period in fiscal 2017.
CAPITALRESEARCHAND DEVELOPMENT
Research and development expenses increased $2.9 million, or 11%, to $28.9 million during the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $26.0 million during the same period in fiscal 2017. The increase was primarily due to increased headcount from the acquisitions of Delta and RTL, in addition to the full period impact of the CES acquisition, driving higher compensation related costs in addition to increased prototype expenditures.
RESTRUCTURING AND OTHER CHARGES
Restructuring and other charges were $0.4 million for the six months ended December 31, 2017 and 2016. Restructuring and other charges are typically related to acquisitions and organizational redesign programs initiated as part of discrete post-acquisition integration activities.
ACQUISITION COSTSAND OTHER RELATED EXPENSES
We incurred $1.0 million of acquisition costs and other related expenses during the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $1.4 million during the same period in fiscal 2017. The acquisition costs and other related expenses we incurred during the six months ended December 31, 2017 relate to the acquisitions of RTL and Themis, while fiscal 2017 expenses related to the acquisition of CES. We expect to incur acquisition costs and other related expenses periodically in the future as we continue to seek acquisition opportunities to expand our capabilities and new end markets within the sensor processing chain.
INTEREST EXPENSE
We incurred $0.1 million of interest expense during the six months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $3.7 million in the same period in fiscal 2017. The decrease was driven by $2.8 million cash interest expense and $0.9 million of amortization of debt issuance costs on the term loan, which was repaid during the fourth quarter of fiscal 2017.
OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME, NET
Other (expense) income, net was $(1.1) million during the six months ended December 31, 2017, compared to $0.5 million during the same period in fiscal 2017. The decrease was primarily due to $1.2 million in financing and registration fees during the six months ended December 31, 2017 compared to $0.2 million for the same period in fiscal 2017. The six months ended December 31, 2016 included $0.6 million related to the amortization of the gain on the sale leaseback of our former corporate headquarters, partially offset by $0.2 million of foreign exchange losses.
INCOME TAXES
On December 22, 2017, the Tax Act was enacted by the U.S. government. The Tax Act has impacted the statutory Federal tax rate that the Company will use going forward, which has been reduced to 21% from 35%. As the Company has a June 30 fiscal year-end, the lower corporate income tax rate will be phased in, resulting in a U.S. statutory Federal rate of approximately 28% for our fiscal year ending June 30, 2018, and 21% for subsequent fiscal years. In addition to the reduced corporate rate we also expect to benefit from the immediate deduction for certain new investments. The Tax Act also includes items that we expect will increase our tax expense including, but not limited to, the elimination of the domestic manufacturing deduction and increased limitations on executive compensation. In addition, the actual effective tax rate may be materially different than the statutory Federal tax rate (including being higher) based on the availability and impact of various other adjustments including but not limited to state taxes, Federal research and development credits, discrete tax benefits related to stock compensation, and the inclusion or exclusion of various items in taxable income which may differ from GAAP income.
We recorded an income tax benefit of $7.0 million during the six months ended December 31, 2017 as compared to an income tax provision of $0.5 million for the same period in fiscal 2017. During the six months ended December 31, 2017 and


2016, we recognized discrete tax benefits of $7.6 million and $2.8 million, respectively, related to excess tax benefits on stock-based compensation. The discrete tax benefit for the six months ended December 31, 2017 included the enactment of the Tax Act which revalued the excess tax benefit previously recorded in the three months ended September 30, 2017. The benefit is the result of the increase in value from the stock award between the grant date and the vest date. The six months ended December 31, 2017 also included a discrete tax benefit of $3.7 million derived from new information obtained about net operating loss carry-forwards of the entities acquired from Microsemi Corporation (the “Carve-Out Business”) in May 2016. The discrete items disclosed above for the six months ended December 31, 2017 included the effect of the Tax Act.
Our effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2017 differed from the Federal statutory tax rate of 28% primarily due to the one-time impact of the Tax Act, Federal research and development credits, domestic manufacturing deduction, excess tax benefits related to stock compensation, and state taxes. Our effective tax rate for the six months ended December 31, 2016 differed from the Federal statutory tax rate of 35% primarily due to Federal research and development credits, domestic manufacturing deduction, excess tax benefits related to stock compensation, and state taxes.
Within the calculation of our annual effective tax rate we have used assumptions and estimates that may change as a result of future guidance and interpretation from the Internal Revenue Service, the SEC, and the FASB. The Tax Act contains many significant changes to the U.S. tax laws, the consequences of which have not yet been fully determined. Changes in corporate tax rates, the net deferred tax assets and/or liabilities relating to our U.S. operations, the taxation of foreign earnings, and the deductibility of expenses contained in the Tax Act could have a material impact on the Company’s future U.S. tax expense.
LIQUIDITYAND CAPITAL RESOURCES
Our primary sources of liquidity come from existing cash and cash generated from operations, including our accounts receivable factoring program, our revolving credit facilityRevolver and our ability to raise capital under our universal shelf registration statement. Our near-term fixed commitments for cash expenditures consist primarily of payments under operating leases and inventory purchase commitments. We do not currently have any material commitments for capital expenditures.plan to continue to invest in improvements to our facilities and internal R&D to promote future growth, including new opportunities in avionics, secure processing, radar modernization and our trusted custom microelectronics. Our facilities improvements include buildouts in Andover, Massachusetts, Cypress, California and Hudson, New Hampshire, along with the ongoing expansion of our trusted custom microelectronics business during fiscal 2021.
Based on our current plans, and business conditions, including the COVID pandemic, and essential business status, we believe that existing cash and cash equivalents, our available revolving credit facility,Revolver, cash generated from operations, and our financing capabilities will be sufficient to satisfy our anticipated cash requirements for at least the next twelve months.
Shelf Registration Statement
On August 28, 2017,September 14, 2020, we filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3ASR with the SEC. The shelf registration statement, which was effective upon filing with the SEC, registered each of the following securities: debt securities, preferred stock, common stock, warrants and units. We intend to use the proceeds from financings usingunder the shelf registration statement for general corporate purposes, which may include the following:
the acquisition of other companies or businesses;
the repayment and refinancing of debt;
capital expenditures;
working capital; and
other purposes as described in the prospectus supplement.
We have an unlimited amount available under the shelf registration statement. Additionally, as part of the shelf registration statement, we have entered into an equity distribution agreement which allows us to sell an aggregate of up to $200.0 million of our common stock from time to time through our agents. The actual dollar amount and number of shares of common stock we sell pursuant to the equity distribution agreement will be dependent on, among other things, market conditions and our fund raising requirements. The agents may sell the common stock by any method deemed to be an “at the market offering” as defined in Rule 415 of the Securities Act of 1933, as amended, including without limitation sales made directly on NASDAQ,Nasdaq, on any other existing trading market for the common stock or to or through a market maker. In addition, our common stock may be offered and sold by such other methods, including privately negotiated transactions, as we and the agents may agree.
Revolving Credit Facility
In June 2017,On September 28, 2018, we amended our revolving credit facility ("the Revolver"), increasingRevolver to increase and extendingextend the facility intoborrowing capacity to a $400.0$750.0 million, 5-year revolving credit line, expiring in June 2022. In connection with the amendment,maturity extended to September 2023.

Purchase obligations represent open non-cancelable purchase commitments for certain inventory components and services used in normal operations. The purchase commitments covered by these agreements are for less than one year and aggregated approximately $50.7$113.2 million at December 31, 2017.


at October 2, 2020.
We have a liability at December 31, 2017October 2, 2020 of $0.8$4.1 million for uncertain tax positions that have been taken or are expected to be taken in various income tax returns. We do not know the ultimate resolution on these uncertain tax positions and as such, do not know the ultimate timing of payments or amount, if any, related to this liability. Accordingly, these amounts are not included in the above table.
Our standard product sales and license agreements entered into in the ordinary course of business typically contain an indemnification provision pursuant to which we indemnify, hold harmless, and agree to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred in connection with certain intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to our products. Such provisions generally survive termination or expiration of the agreements. The potential amount of future payments we could be required to make under these indemnification provisions is, in some instances, unlimited.
As part of our strategy for growth, we continue to explore acquisitions or strategic alliances. The associated acquisition costs incurred in the form of professional fees and services may be material to the future periods in which they occur, regardless of whether the acquisition is ultimately completed.
We may elect from time to time to purchase and subsequently retire shares of common stock in order to settle employees’ tax liabilities associated with vesting of a restricted stock award or exercise of stock options. These transactions would be treated as a use of cash in financing activities in our statement of cash flows.
OFF-BALANCE SHEET ARRANGEMENTS
Other than our lease commitments incurredcertain indemnification provisions in the normal course of business, and certain indemnification provisions, we do not have any off-balance sheet financing arrangements or liabilities, guarantee contracts, retained or contingent interests in transferred assets, or any obligation arising out of a material variable interest in an unconsolidated entity. We do not have any majority-owned subsidiaries that are not consolidated in the financial statements. Additionally, we do not have an interest in, or relationships with, any special purpose entities.

NON-GAAP-GAAP FINANCIAL MEASURES
In our periodic communications, we discuss certain important measures that are not calculated according to U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”), including adjusted EBITDA, adjusted income, adjusted earnings per share ("adjusted EPS") andEPS, free cash flow.flow, organic revenue and acquired revenue.
Adjusted EBITDA is defined as net income before other non-operating adjustments, interest income and expense, income taxes, depreciation, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other charges, impairment of long-lived assets, acquisition and financing costs, fair value adjustments from purchase accounting, litigation and settlement income and expense, COVID related expenses, and stock-based and other non-cash compensation expense. We use adjusted EBITDA as an important indicator of the operating performance of our business. We use adjusted EBITDA in internal forecasts and models when establishing internal operating budgets, supplementing the financial results and forecasts reported to our board of directors, determining a componentthe portion of bonus and equity compensation for executive officers and other key employees based on operating performance, and evaluating short-term and long-term operating trends in our operations.operations and allocating resources to various initiatives and operational requirements. We believe thethat adjusted EBITDA financial measure assists in providingpermits a more complete understandingcomparative assessment of our underlying operational measuresoperating performance, relative to manage our business, to evaluate our performance comparedbased on our GAAP results, while isolating the effects of charges that may vary from period to prior periods and the marketplace, andperiod without any correlation to establish operational goals.underlying operating performance. We believe that these non-GAAP financial adjustments are useful to investors because they allow investors to evaluate the effectiveness of the methodology and information used by management in our financial and operational decision-making. We believe that trends in our adjusted EBITDA are valuable indicators of our operating performance.
Adjusted EBITDA is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. We expect to continue to incur expenses similar to the adjusted EBITDA financial adjustments described above, and investors should not infer from our presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure that these costs are unusual, infrequent or non-recurring.


The following table reconciles our net income, the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure, to our adjusted EBITDA:

Adjusted income and adjusted EPS exclude the impact of certain items and, therefore, have not been calculated in accordance with GAAP. We believe that exclusion of these items assists in providing a more complete understanding of our underlying results and trends and allows for comparability with our peer company index and industry. These non-GAAP financial measures may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. We use these measures along with the corresponding GAAP financial measures to manage our business and to evaluate our performance compared to prior periods and the marketplace. We define adjusted income as net income before other non-operating adjustments, amortization of intangible assets, restructuring and other charges, impairment of long-lived assets, acquisition and financing costs, fair value adjustments from purchase accounting, litigation and settlement income and expense, COVID related expenses, and stock-based and other non-cash compensation expense. The impact to income taxes includes the impact to the effective tax rate, current tax provision and deferred tax provision. Adjusted EPS expresses adjusted income on a per share basis using weighted average diluted shares outstanding.

Free cash flow, a non-GAAP measure for reporting cash flow, is defined as cash provided by operating activities less capital expenditures for property and equipment, which includes capitalized software development costs. We believe free cash flow provides investors with an important perspective on cash available for investments and acquisitions after making capital investments


required to support ongoing business operations and long-term value creation. We believe that trends in our free cash flow can be valuable indicators of our operating performance and liquidity.
Free cash flow is a non-GAAP financial measure and should not be considered in isolation or as a substitute for financial information provided in accordance with GAAP. This non-GAAP financial measure may not be computed in the same manner as similarly titled measures used by other companies. We expect to continue to incur expenditures similar to the free cash flow adjustment described above, and investors should not infer from our presentation of this non-GAAP financial measure that these expenditures reflect all of our obligations which require cash.

RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU No. 2014-09, RevenueOrganic revenue and acquired revenue are non-GAAP measures for reporting financial performance of our business. We believe this information provides investors with insight as to our ongoing business performance. Organic revenue represents total company revenue excluding net revenue from Contracts with Customers, which requires an entity to recognize the amount of revenue to which it expects to be entitledacquired companies for the transfer of promised goods or services to customers. The ASU will replace most existingfirst four full quarters since the entities’ acquisition date (which excludes intercompany transactions). Acquired revenue recognition guidance in GAAP when it becomes effective. The new standard is effectiverepresents revenue from acquired companies for the Company on July 1, 2018,first four full quarters since the entities' acquisition date (which excludes intercompany transactions). After the completion of four full fiscal quarters, acquired revenue is treated as organic for current and we do not plancomparable historical periods.
The following table reconciles the most directly comparable GAAP financial measure to early adopt this ASU. The standard permits the use of eithernon-GAAP financial measure for the retrospective or cumulative effect transition method. We currently intendfirst quarters ended October 2, 2020 and September 27, 2019, respectively:

Total revenues$205,621 100 %$177,304 100 %$28,317 16 %


RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note B to use the retrospective transition method upon adoption of the standard. We have made significant investments to date in our data reporting infrastructure, and continue to enhance this infrastructure in order to support the reporting and disclosure requirements of the new standard. In addition, we have extensively reviewed our current accounting policies and practices to evaluate the future impact that adoption of the standard will have on our consolidated financial statements and notes. Based on our review procedures(under the caption "Recently Issued Accounting Pronouncements").
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
See Note B to date, the impact of adopting the new standard on our total sales and operating income is not expected to be material. The largest impact as a result of adoption will be to our disclosures relating to revenues, which will significantly expand under the new standard.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This ASU requires lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and lease liability for most lease arrangements. The new standard is effective for the Company on July 1, 2019. The standard mandates a modified retrospective transition method for all entities and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating our population of leases to determine the effect that ASU 2016-02 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.(under the caption "Recently Adopted Accounting Pronouncements").
In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-15, Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash Payments, an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This ASU will reduce diversity in practice for classifying cash payments and receipts in the statement of cash flows for a number of common transactions. It will also clarify when identifiable cash flows should be separated versus classified based on their predominant source or use. This ASU is effective for public business entities for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted, including adoption in an interim period. If an entity early adopts the amendments in an interim period, any adjustments should be reflected as of the beginning of the fiscal year that includes that interim period. An entity that elects early adoption must adopt all of the amendments in the same period. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-15 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
27
In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-16, Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory, an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This ASU requires the seller and buyer to recognize at the transaction date the current and deferred income tax consequences of intercompany asset transfers (except transfers of inventory). Under current U.S. GAAP, the seller and buyer defer the consolidated tax consequences of an intercompany asset transfer from the period of the transfer to a future period when the asset is transferred out of the consolidated group, or otherwise affects consolidated earnings. This standard will cause volatility in companies’ effective tax rates, particularly for those that transfer intangible assets to foreign subsidiaries. For public entities, the new standard is effective for annual and interim periods in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. An entity may early adopt the standard but only at the beginning of an annual period for which it has not issued or made available for issuance financial statements (interim or annual). We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2016-16 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.




In January 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-04, Intangibles—Goodwill and Other (Topic 350): Simplifying the Test for Goodwill Impairment, an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This ASU eliminates the requirement to measure the implied fair value of goodwill by assigning the fair value of a reporting unit to all assets and liabilities within that unit (“the Step 2 test”) from the goodwill impairment test. Instead, if the carrying amount of a reporting unit exceeds its fair value, an impairment loss is recognized in an amount equal to that excess, limited by the amount of goodwill in that reporting unit. For public business entities, the new standard is effective for its annual or any interim goodwill impairment tests in fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2019. The ASU requires prospective adoption and permits early adoption for interim or annual goodwill impairment tests performed on testing dates after January 1, 2017. We do not expect this guidance to have a material impact to our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2017, the FASB issued ASU No. 2017-07, Compensation Retirement Benefits (Topic 715): Improving the Presentation of Net Periodic Pension Cost and Net Periodic Postretirement Benefit Cost, an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This ASU requires employers that sponsor defined benefit pension and/or other post-retirement benefit plans to report the service cost component of net benefit cost in the same line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the pertinent employees during the period. Employers are required to present the other components of net benefit costs in the income statement separately from the service cost component and outside a subtotal of income from operations. Additionally, only the service cost component of net periodic pension cost will be eligible for asset capitalization. For public entities, the new standard is effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within that annual period. Early adoption is permitted as of the beginning of an annual period for which financial statements (interim or annual) have not been issued or made available for issuance. This ASU should be applied retrospectively for the presentation of the service cost component and the other components of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit cost in the income statement and prospectively, on and after the effective date, for the capitalization of the service cost component of net periodic pension cost and net periodic postretirement benefit in assets. We are evaluating the effect that ASU 2017-07 will have on our consolidated financial statements and related disclosures.
RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING PRONOUNCEMENTS
Effective July 1, 2017, we adopted FASB issued ASU No. 2015-11, Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory, an amendment of the FASB Accounting Standards Codification. This ASU changes the measurement principle for inventory from the lower of cost or market to lower of cost and net realizable value for entities that do not measure inventory using the last-in, first-out or retail inventory method. The ASU also eliminates the requirement for these entities to consider replacement cost or net realizable value less an approximately normal profit margin when measuring inventory. Such adoption has not and will not have any impact to our consolidated financial statements.

ITEM 4.CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
ITEM 4.     CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES
(a) Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
We conducted an evaluation under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer (our principal executive officer and principal financial officer, respectively), regarding the effectiveness of 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”)) as of the end of the period covered by this report. Based on this evaluation, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 31, 2017.October 2, 2020. We continue to review our disclosure controls and procedures and may from time to time make changes aimed at enhancing their effectiveness and to ensure that our systems evolve with our Company’s business. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met.
(b) Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rules 13c-15(f)13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Exchange Act) that occurred during the quarter ended December 31, 2017October 2, 2020 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting. However, management is in the process of integrating the recently acquired DeltaAPC business into our overall internal control over financial reporting environment.
