NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies

All references to the “Company” and “Kratos” refer to Kratos Defense & Security Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation, and its subsidiaries.


(a)	Basis of Presentation

The information as of ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 and for the three months ended ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 and March ~~27, 2016~~26, 2017 is unaudited. The condensed consolidated balance sheet as of December ~~25, 2016~~31, 2017 was derived from the Company’s audited consolidated financial statements at that date. In the opinion of management, these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments necessary for a fair presentation of the Company’s financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods presented. The results have been prepared in accordance with the instructions to Form 10-Q and do not necessarily include all information and footnotes necessary for presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”) These unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in the Company’s audited annual consolidated financial statements for the fiscal year ended December ~~25, 2016~~31, 2017, included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February ~~27, 2017~~28, 2018 (the “Form 10-K”). Interim operating results are not necessarily indicative of operating results expected in subsequent periods or for the year as a whole.

As discussed in “Discontinued Operations” in Note 3, on February 28, 2018, the Company entered into an agreement to sell the operations of its Public Safety & Security business unit which had previously been reported as a separate reportable business segment. Accordingly, PSS (as defined below) and its subsidiaries have been classified as held for sale and reported in discontinued operations in the condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.


(b)	Principles of Consolidation

The condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its 100% owned subsidiaries for which all inter-company transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.


(c)	Fiscal Year

The Company has a 52/53 week fiscal year ending on the last Sunday of the calendar year, with interim fiscal periods ending on the last Sunday of each calendar quarter. The three month periods ended ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 and March ~~27, 2016~~26, 2017 consisted of 13-week periods. There are 5352 calendar weeks in the fiscal year ending on December ~~31, 2017~~30, 2018 and 5253 calendar weeks in the fiscal year ending on December ~~25, 2016~~31, 2017.

(d) Accounting Estimates

There have been no significant changes in the Company’s accounting estimates for the three months ended ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 as compared to the accounting estimates described in the Form 10-K.

(e) Accounting Standards Updates

In ~~January 2017,~~November 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued Accounting Standards Update (“ASU”) ~~2017-04~~2016-18 (“ASU ~~2017-04”~~2016-18”), ~~Intangibles~~Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230) - ~~Goodwill~~Restricted Cash, which requires that restricted cash and ~~Other (Topic 350): Simplifying~~cash equivalents be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling beginning-of-period and end-of-period total amounts shown on the ~~Test for Goodwill Impairment. ASU 2017-04 amends the guidance to simplify the subsequent measurement~~consolidated statements of goodwill by removing Step 2 of the goodwill impairment test. Instead, an entity should perform its annual, or interim, goodwill impairment test by comparing the fair value of a reporting unit with its carrying amount. An entity should recognize an impairment charge for the amount by which the carrying amount exceeds the reporting unit's fair value. ASU 2017-04cash flows. The new standard is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2019, with early adoption permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of the new guidance and timing of adoption, but does not expect that the standard will have a material impact on its Consolidated Financial Statements.

~~In October 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-16 (“ASU 2016-16”),~~ ~~Income Taxes (Topic 740), Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory.~~ ~~ASU 2016-16 requires that~~public entities recognize the income tax consequences of an intra-entity transfer of an asset other than inventory when the transfer occurs, rather than when the asset is sold to an outside party. ASU 2016-16 is effective for ~~annual reporting periods~~fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017 ~~including~~and for interim periods ~~within those annual reporting periods. Early adoption is permitted~~therein. The Company adopted ASU 2016-18 as of ~~the beginning of an annual reporting period (as of the first interim~~

period if an entity issues interim financial statements). ASU 2016-16 requires adoption on a modified retrospective basis through a cumulative-effect adjustment directly to retained earnings as of the beginning of the period of adoption. The Company early adopted this standard on December 26, 2016.January 1, 2018. The adoption of ~~this guidance~~the ASU 2016-18 did not have a material impact on the ~~Company’s~~Company's consolidated financial statements.

In August 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-15 (“ASU 2016-15”), ~~Statement of Cash Flows (Topic 230):~~ Classification of Certain Cash Receipts and Cash ~~Payments.~~Payments ~~The objective of~~. ASU 2016-15 is designed to ~~reduce existing diversity in practice by addressing eight specific cash flow issues related to~~clarify how ~~certain~~entities should classify cash receipts and cash payments ~~are presented and classified~~ in the statement of

cash flows. ASU 2016-15 isbecame effective for ~~fiscal years~~the Company beginning ~~after December 15, 2017, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early~~January 1, 2018. The standard requires retrospective application. The adoption ~~is permitted. If early adopted, an entity must adopt all~~ of the ~~amendments in the same period. The Company does not believe that the adoption of this guidance will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.~~

~~In March 2016, the FASB issued~~ ASU ~~2016-09 (“ASU 2016-09”),~~ ~~Compensation — Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting.~~ ASU 2016-09 simplifies several aspects of the accounting for employee share-based payments, including accounting for income taxes, forfeitures, statutory tax withholding requirements, and classification on the statement of cash flows. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods beginning after December 15, 2016. Early adoption was permitted. The Company early adopted this standard in the quarter ended December 25, 2016, which2016-15 did not have a material impact on ~~its~~the Company's consolidated financial statements.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02 (“ASU 2016-02”), Leases. ASU 2016-02 requires that lessees recognize assets and liabilities for the rights and obligations ~~for~~underlying leases with a lease term of more than one year. The amendments in this ASU are effective for annual periods ~~ending~~beginning after December 15, 2018. ~~Early adoption is permitted.~~The FASB has proposed a change that would allow a company to elect an optional transition method that applies the new lease requirements through a cumulative-effect adjustment in the period of adoption. The Company expects to adopt the standard on December 31, 2018 using the proposed optional transition method if finalized in its current form. The Company is ~~currently evaluating~~reviewing its leases to determine the impact of the adoption of ASU 2016-02 on its consolidated financial statements.

~~In May 2014,~~Effective January 1, 2018, the ~~FASB issued~~Company adopted ASU 2014-09, ~~(“ASU 2014-09”),~~ Revenue from Contracts with Customers, as amended (Topic 606) ~~. ASU 2014-09~~(“ASC 606”), which establishes a broad principle that ~~would require an entity~~requires entities to ~~recognize revenue to depict~~assess the ~~transfer of promised goods~~products or services promised in contracts with customers at contract inception to determine the appropriate unit at which to record revenues, which is referred to as a performance obligation. Revenue is recognized when control of the promised products or services is transferred to customers inat an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled to in exchange for those ~~goods~~products or services. ~~To achieve this principle, an entity identifies~~The new standard supersedes GAAP guidance on revenue recognition and requires the ~~contract~~use of more estimates and judgments than the present standards. In addition, the standard requires disclosure of the nature, amount, timing, and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with a customer, identifies the separate performance obligations in the contract, determines the transaction price, allocates the transaction price to the separate performance obligations and recognizes revenue when each separate performance obligation is satisfied. ASU 2014-09 was further updated in March, April, May, and December 2016 to provide clarification on a number of specific issues as well as requiring additional disclosures. ASU 2014-09customers.

ASC 606 may be applied either retrospectively or through the use of a modified-retrospective method. The full retrospective method requires companies to recast each prior reporting period presented as if the new guidance had always existed. Under the modified retrospective method, companies would recognize the cumulative effect of initially applying the standard as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings at the date of initial application. ~~On July 9, 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of the effective date of ASU 2014-09 to annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017.~~ The Company ~~plans to adopt~~adopted the new revenue standard ~~effective~~through the use of the modified-retrospective method. The cumulative effects of applying the new guidance to all contracts with customers that were not completed as of January 1, ~~2018.~~2018 was recorded as a decrease in opening equity of $0.2 million. Additional disclosures have been included in Note 2 in accordance with the ASU. The following changes were made to our condensed consolidated balance sheet on January 1, 2018 as a result of the adoption of ASC 606 (in millions):

Under ASU 2014-09, revenue is recognized as control transfers to the customer. As such, revenue~~Company’s operating income from continuing operation for the Company’s contracts will generally be recognized over time using the cost-to-cost method, which is consistent with the revenue recognition model currently in use for the majority of contracts. For those contracts where revenue is currently recognized as units are delivered, in most cases the accounting for those contracts will change under ASU 2014-09 such that revenue will be recognized as costs are incurred. This change will generally result in an acceleration of revenue as compared with the current revenue recognition method for those contracts. The Company expects to adopt the new standard using the modified retrospective method.three months ended April 1, 2018 (in millions):

Note 2. Revenue Recognition

As described in Note 1, the Company adopted ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, using the modified retrospective method. The Company recorded a decrease in opening equity of $0.2 million as of January 1, 2018 due to the cumulative impact of adopting ASC 606. The impact of adopting ASC 606 for the three months ended April 1, 2018 was an increase of $7.7 million to revenues and a corresponding increase in cost of revenues of $4.2 million. Total net cash provided by operating activities from continuing operations, total net cash used by investing activities from continuing operations and total net cash provided by financing activities on our consolidated statements of cash flows were not impacted by the adoption of ASC 606. Discontinued operations were not affected by the implementation of ASC 606.

The reported results for 2018 reflect the application of ASC 606 guidance while the reported results for periods prior to January 1, 2018 were prepared under the guidance of ASC 605, Revenue Recognition. The adoption of ASC 606 represents a change in accounting principle. In accordance with ASC 606, revenue is recognized when a customer obtains control of promised services. The amount of revenue recognized reflects the consideration that the Company expects to be entitled to receive in exchange for these services.

Prior to the adoption of ASC 606, the Company recognized the majority of its revenues using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting. Based on the nature of products provided or services performed, revenue was recorded as costs were incurred (the “percentage-of-completion cost-to-cost method”) or as units were delivered (the “percentage-of-completion units-of-delivery method”). For the majority of contracts, the customer obtains control or receives benefits as work is performed on the contract. As a result, under ASC 606 revenue is recognized over a period of time utilizing the cost-to-cost method. This change generally results in an acceleration of revenue for contracts that were historically accounted for using the percentage-of-completion units-of-delivery method as revenues are now recognized earlier in the performance period as costs are incurred.

To determine revenue recognition for arrangements that the Company determines are within the scope of ASC 606, the Company performs the following five steps: (i) identify the contract(s) with a customer; (ii) identify the performance obligations in the contract; (iii) determine the transaction price; (iv) allocate the transaction price to the performance obligations in the contract; and (v) recognize revenue when (or as) the entity satisfies a performance obligation. The Company only applies the five-step model to contracts when it is probable that the entity will collect the consideration it is entitled to in exchange for the goods or services it transfers to the customer. At contract inception, once the contract is determined to be within the scope of ASC 606, the Company assesses the goods or services promised within each contract and determines those that are performance obligations, and assesses whether each promised good or service is distinct. The Company then recognizes as revenue the amount of the transaction price that is allocated to the respective performance obligation when (or as) the performance obligation is satisfied.

A performance obligation is a promise in a contract to transfer a distinct good or service to the customer and is the unit of account in ASC 606. The majority of the Company’s contracts have a single performance obligation as the promise to transfer the individual goods or services is not separately identifiable from other promises in the contracts and, therefore, not distinct. For contracts with multiple performance obligations, the Company allocates the contract’s transaction price to each performance obligation using the best estimate of the standalone selling price of each distinct good or service in the contract. The primary method used to estimate standalone selling price is the expected-cost-plus-margin approach, under which the Company forecasts the expected costs of satisfying a performance obligation and then adds an appropriate margin for that distinct good or service.

Remaining Performance Obligations

Since the Company’s adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, revenues from remaining performance obligations are now calculated as the dollar value of the remaining performance obligations on executed contracts. On April 1, 2018, the Company had approximately $551.8 million of remaining performance obligations. The Company expects to recognize approximately 55% of the remaining performance obligations as revenue in 2018, an additional 26% by 2020, and the balance thereafter.

Contract Estimates

Due to the nature of the work required to be performed on many performance obligations, the estimation of total revenue and cost at completion is complex, subject to many variables and requires significant judgment. It is common for the Company’s long-term contracts to contain award fees, incentive fees, or other provisions that can either increase or decrease the transaction price. These variable amounts generally are awarded upon achievement of certain performance metrics, program

milestones or cost targets and can be based upon customer discretion. Variable consideration is estimated at the most likely amount to which the Company is expected to be entitled. Estimated amounts are included 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. Estimates of variable consideration and determination of whether to include estimated amounts in the transaction price are based largely on an assessment of the Company’s anticipated performance and all information (historical, current and forecasted) that is reasonably available.

Contracts are often modified to account for changes in contract specifications and requirements. Contract modifications are considered to exist when the modification either creates new or changes the existing enforceable rights and obligations. Most of the Company’s contract modifications are for goods or services that are not distinct from the existing contract due to the significant integration service provided in the context of the contract and are accounted for as if they were part of that existing contract. The effect of a contract modification on the transaction price, and the measure of progress for the performance obligation to which it relates, is recognized as an adjustment to revenue (either as an increase in or a reduction of revenue) on a cumulative catch-up basis.

There is a Company-wide standard and disciplined quarterly Estimate at Completion (EAC) process in which management reviews the progress and execution of outstanding performance obligations. As part of this process, management reviews information including, but not limited to, any outstanding key contract matters, progress towards completion and the related program schedule, identified risks and opportunities and the related changes in estimates of revenues and costs. The risks and opportunities include management's judgment about the ability and cost to achieve the schedule (e.g., the number and type of milestone events), technical requirements (e.g., a newly-developed product versus a mature product) and other contract requirements. Management must make assumptions and estimates regarding labor productivity and availability, the complexity of the work to be performed, the availability of materials, the length of time to complete the performance obligation (e.g., to estimate increases in wages and prices for materials and related support cost allocations), execution by subcontractors, the availability and timing of funding from customers and overhead cost rates, among other variables.

Based on this analysis, any quarterly adjustments to net sales, cost of sales, and the related impact to operating income are recognized as necessary in the period they become known. These adjustments may result from positive program performance, and may result in an increase in operating income during the performance of individual performance obligations, if it is determined the Company will be successful in mitigating risks surrounding the technical, schedule and cost aspects of those performance obligations or realizing related opportunities. Likewise, these adjustments may result in a decrease in operating income if it is determined the Company will not be successful in mitigating these risks or realizing related opportunities. Changes in estimates of net sales, cost of sales and the related impact to operating income are recognized quarterly on a cumulative catch-up basis, which recognizes in the current period the cumulative effect of the changes on current and prior periods based on a performance obligation's percentage of completion. A significant change in one or more of these estimates could affect the profitability of one or more of the Company’s performance obligations. When estimates of total costs to be incurred on a performance obligation exceed total estimates of revenue to be earned, a provision for the entire loss on the performance obligation is recognized in the period the loss is determined. No adjustment on any one contract was material to our unaudited Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements for the three-month periods ended April 1, 2018, and March 26, 2017.

Contract Assets and Liabilities

For each of the Company’s contracts, the timing of revenue recognition, customer billings, and cash collections results in a net contract asset or liability at the end of each reporting period. Fixed-price contracts are typically billed to the customer either using progress payments, whereby amounts are billed monthly as costs are incurred or work is completed, or performance based payments, which are based upon the achievement of specific, measurable events or accomplishments defined and valued at contract inception. Cost-type contracts are typically billed to the customer on a monthly or semi-monthly basis.

Contract assets consist of unbilled receivables, primarily related to long-term contracts where revenue recognized under the cost-to-cost method exceeds amounts billed to customers. Unbilled receivables are classified as current assets and, in accordance with industry practice, include amounts that may be billed and collected beyond one year due to the long term nature of many of our contracts. Accumulated contract costs in unbilled receivables include direct production costs, factory and engineering overhead, production tooling costs, and, for government contracts, recovery of allowable general and administrative expenses. Unbilled receivables also include certain estimates of variable consideration described above. These contract assets are not considered a significant financing component of the Company’s contracts as the payment terms are intended to protect the customer in the event the Company does not perform on its obligations under the contract.

Contract liabilities include advance payments and billings in excess of revenue recognized. Certain customers make advance payments prior to the satisfaction of the Company’s performance obligations on the contract. These amounts are recorded as contract liabilities until such performance obligations are satisfied, either over time as costs are incurred or at a point in time when deliveries are made. Contract liabilities are not a significant financing component as they are generally utilized to pay for contract costs within a one-year period or are used to ensure the customer meets contractual requirements.

Net contract assets (liabilities) are as follows (in millions):



	April 1, 2018		January 1, 2018		Net Change
Contract assets	$	151.2	$	139.4	$	11.8
Contract liabilities	$	40.7	$	46.8	$	(6.1	)
Net contract assets	$	110.5	$	92.6	$	17.9

The change in the balances of the company’s contract assets and liabilities primarily results from the advance payments from customers exceeding reductions from recognition of revenue as performance obligations were satisfied and related billings.

Note 3. Discontinued Operations

On February 28, 2018, the Company entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to sell the operations of Kratos Public Safety & Security Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“PSS”), with Securitas Electronic Security, Inc., a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, the Company has agreed to sell to Buyer all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of PSS for a purchase price of $69 million in cash, subject to a net working capital adjustment at closing (the “Transaction”). The Company expects to receive approximately $70 million of net cash proceeds from the Transaction, after taking into account amounts to be paid by the Company pursuant to a negotiated transaction services agreement between the Company and Buyer, receipt by the Company of approximately $7 million in net working capital to be retained by the Company, and associated transaction fees and expenses. The Company currently expects the Transaction to close in the second quarter of 2018, following the completion of required regulatory and other related approvals.

In accordance with ASC 360-10-45-9, Property, Plant, and Equipment (Topic 360) and ASC 205-20-45-3 Presentation of Financial Statements (Topic 205), PSS and its subsidiaries have been classified as held for sale and reported in discontinued operations in the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented.

Note 5.7. Net Loss Per Common Share

The Company calculates net loss per share in accordance with FASB Accounting Standards Codification Topic 260, Earnings per Share (Topic 260). Under Topic 260, basic net loss per common share is calculated by dividing net loss by the weighted-average number of common shares outstanding during the reporting period. Diluted net loss per common share reflects the effects of potentially dilutive securities.

Shares from stock options and awards, excluded from the calculation of diluted net loss per share because their inclusion would have been anti-dilutive, were ~~0.2~~0.3 million and ~~2.5~~0.2 million for the three months ended April 1, 2018 and March 26, 2017, ~~and March 27, 2016,~~ respectively.

Note 6.8. Income Taxes

The Tax Act subjects certain payments made by a U.S. company to a related foreign company to certain minimum taxes (Base Erosion Anti-Abuse Tax or “BEAT”) and imposes a new minimum tax on certain non-U.S. earnings (Global Intangible Low-Tax Income or “GILTI”). We have elected to recognize the resulting tax on GILTI as a period expense in the period the tax is incurred. We estimate that the effect from the BEAT and GILTI taxes on our estimated annual effective tax rate will not be material.

The U.S. government enacted tax legislation commonly known as the U.S. Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017 on December 22, 2017 (the “Tax Act”). The Tax Act made broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code, including but not limited to, a reduction to the U.S. federal corporate income tax rate from 35% to 21%; a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries; eliminating the corporate alternative minimum tax (“AMT”) and changing realization of AMT credits; changing rules related to uses and limitations of net operating loss (“NOL”) carryforwards created in tax years after December 31, 2017; changes to the limitations on available interest expense deductions; and changes to other existing deductions and business-related exclusions. The SEC issued Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 118, “Income Tax Accounting Implications of the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act” (“SAB 118”), which provides guidance on accounting for the tax effects of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date to complete the accounting under ASC 740, “Income Taxes.” The Company’s accounting for the income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete. In accordance with SAB 118, we were able to make reasonable estimates on certain effects of the Tax Act reflected in the financial statements as of December 31, 2017. There have been no material changes to the provisional amounts as disclosed in the Form 10-K. We are continuing to evaluate the estimates used to record and disclose the effects of the Tax Act.

In assessing the Company’s ability to realize deferred tax assets, management considers, on a periodic basis, whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. As such, management has determined that it is appropriate to maintain a full valuation allowance against the Company’s U.S. federal, combined state and certain foreign deferred tax assets, with the exception of an amount equal to its deferred tax liabilities, which can be expected to reverse over a definite life.

Federal and state income tax laws impose restrictions on the utilization of ~~net operating losses (“NOLs”)~~NOLs and tax credit carryforwards in the event that an “ownership change” occurs for tax purposes, as defined by Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (“Section 382”). In general, an ownership change occurs when shareholders owning 5% or more of a “loss corporation” (a corporation entitled to use NOLs or other loss carryovers) have increased their ownership of stock in such corporation by more than 50 percentage points during any three-year period. The annual base Section 382 limitation is calculated by multiplying the loss corporation’s value at the time of the ownership change by the greater of the long-term tax-exempt rate determined by the Internal Revenue Service in the month of the ownership change or the two preceding months.

This base limitation is subject to adjustments, including an increase for built-in gains recognized in the five-year period after the ownership change.

In March 2010, an “ownership change” occurred that will limit the utilization of NOL carryforwards. In July 2011, another “ownership change” occurred. The March 2010 ownership change limitation is more restrictive. In prior years, the Company acquired corporations with NOL carryforwards at the date of acquisition (“Acquired NOLs”). The Acquired NOLs are subject to separate limitations that may further restrict the use of Acquired NOLs. As a result, the Company’s federal annual utilization of NOL carryforwards was limited to at least $27.0 million a year for the five years succeeding the March 2010 ownership change and at least $11.6 million for each year thereafter subject to separate limitations for Acquired NOLs. If the entire limitation amount is not utilized in a year, the excess can be carried forward and utilized in future years.

For the three months ended ~~March 26, 2017,~~April 1, 2018, there was no impact of such limitations on the income tax provision, since the amount of taxable income did not exceed the annual limitation amount. However, future equity offerings or acquisitions that have equity as a component of the purchase price could also cause an “ownership change.” If and when any other “ownership change” occurs, utilization of the NOLs or other tax attributes may be further limited.

As discussed elsewhere, deferred tax assets relating to the NOL and credit carryforwards are offset by a full valuation allowance. In addition, utilization of state tax loss carryforwards is dependent upon sufficient taxable income apportioned to the states.

The Company is subject to taxation in the U.S. and various state and foreign tax jurisdictions. The Company’s tax years for 2000 and later are subject to examination by the U.S. and state tax authorities due to the existence of the NOL carryforwards. Generally, the Company’s tax years for 2002 and later are subject to examination by various foreign tax authorities as well.

As of December ~~25, 2016,~~31, 2017, the Company had ~~$18.6~~$14.0 million of unrecognized tax benefits that, if recognized, would impact the effective income tax rate for continuing operations, subject to possible offset by an increase in the deferred tax asset valuation allowance. During the three months ended ~~March 26, 2017,~~April 1, 2018, unrecognized tax benefits ~~remained unchanged.~~increased by $0.1 million relating to various current year positions. As of December 31, 2017, the Company had $1.6 million of unrecognized tax benefits related to discontinued operations. During the three months ended April 1, 2018, there was no change in unrecognized tax benefits related to discontinued operations.

The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits in its provision for income taxes. For the three months ended April 1, 2018 and March 26, 2017, ~~and March 27, 2016, a $0.1 million~~the Company recorded an expense ~~and $0.6 million expense, respectively, were recorded related to~~for interest and penalties ~~related to unrecognized tax benefits.~~of $0.1 million. For the three months ended April 1, 2018 and March 26, 2017, ~~and March 27, 2016,~~ there was no material benefit recorded related to the removal of interest and penalties. The Company believes that it is reasonably possible that as much as ~~$1.1~~$0.4 million of the liabilities for uncertain tax positions will expire within twelve months of ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 due to the expiration of various applicable statutes of limitations.

Note 7.9. Debt

(a) Issuance of 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025

In November 2017, the Company issued and sold $300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “6.5% Notes”) in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $6.6 million associated with the new 6.5% Notes. The Company utilized the net proceeds from the sale of the 6.5% Notes, as well as cash from its recent equity offering to extinguish the outstanding 7% Notes (as defined below). The total reacquisition price of the 7% Notes was $385.2 million, including a $12.0 million call premium, and $0.3 million of accrued interest.

The 6.5% Notes are governed by the Indenture, dated as of November 20, 2017 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, the Company’s existing and future domestic subsidiaries parties thereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent. A Subsidiary Guarantor can be released from its guarantee if (a) all of the capital stock issued by such Subsidiary Guarantor or all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor are sold or otherwise disposed of; (b) the Company designates such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture); (c) the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option; or (d) upon satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture or payment in full in cash of the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the 6.5% Notes.

The 6.5% Notes bear interest at a rate of 6.5% per year from the date of original issuance or from the most recent payment date on which interest has been paid or provided for. Interest on the 6.5% Notes is payable in arrears on May 30 and November 30 of each year, beginning on May 30, 2018. The 6.5% Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors.

The 6.5% Notes and the guarantees (as set forth in the Indenture, the “Guarantees”) are the Company’s senior secured obligations and are equal in right of payment with all other senior obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that secured debt. The Company’s obligations under the 6.5% Notes are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors, except with respect to accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash, securities and general intangibles (other than intellectual property), on which the holders of the 6.5% Notes have a second priority lien, junior to the lien securing the Company’s obligations under the Credit Agreement (as defined below).

The 6.5% Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 30, 2020 at the respective redemption prices specified in the Indenture. In addition, the Company may redeem up to 40% of the 6.5% Notes before November 30, 2020 with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings. The Company may also redeem some or all of the 6.5% Notes before November 30, 2020 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the redemption date, if any, plus a “make whole” premium. In addition, during each 12-month period commencing on the issue date and ending on or prior to November 30, 2020, the Company may redeem up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 6.5% Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 103.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the date of redemption, if any. The Company may also be required to make an offer to purchase the 6.5% Notes upon a change of control and certain sales of its assets.

The Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, the Company’s ability and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ ability to: (a) pay dividends on or make distributions or repurchase or redeem the Company’s capital stock or make other restricted payments; (b) incur additional debt and guarantee debt; (c) prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; (d) issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities; (e) make loans and investments; (f) sell assets; (g) incur liens; (h) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of the Company’s assets; (i) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (j) enter into agreements restricting the Company’s ability and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions. As of April 1, 2018, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Indenture governing the 6.5% Notes.

The terms of the Indenture require that the net cash proceeds from asset dispositions be either utilized to (i) repay or prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement unless such amounts are reinvested in similar collateral, (ii) permanently reduce other indebtedness, (iii) make an investment in assets that replace the collateral of the 6.5% Notes or (iv) a combination of (i), (ii) and (iii). To the extent there are any remaining net proceeds from the asset disposition after application of (i), (ii) and (iii), such amounts are required to be utilized to repurchase the 6.5% Notes at par.

The Indenture also provides for events of default which, if any such event occurs, would permit or require the principal, premium, if any, interest, if any, and any other monetary obligations on all the then-outstanding 6.5% Notes to become or to be declared due and payable immediately.

As of April 1, 2018, there was $300.0 million of 6.5% Notes outstanding.


~~(a)~~(b)	Issuance of 7.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2019

In May 2014, the Company refinanced its $625.0 million of 10% Senior Secured Notes due in 2017 (the “10% Notes”) with $625.0 million of newly issued 7.00% Senior Secured Notes due in 2019 (the “7% Notes”, and collectively with the 6.5% Notes, the “Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 7% Notes was $618.5 million after an original issue discount of $6.5 million. The Company incurred debt issuance costs of $8.8 million associated with the 7% Notes. The Company utilized the net proceeds from the issuance of the 7% Notes, a $41.0 million draw on its Credit Agreement, ~~(as defined below),~~ as well as cash from operations to extinguish the 10% Notes. The total reacquisition price of the 10% Notes was $661.5 million including a $31.2 million early termination fee, the write-off of $15.5 million of unamortized issue costs, $12.9 million of unamortized premium, along with $5.3 million of additional interest while in escrow, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $39.1 million.

~~The Company completed the offering of the 7% Notes in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).~~ On October 16, 2014, the Company exchanged the outstanding 7% Notes for an equal amount of new 7.00% Senior Secured Notes due in 2019 (the “Notes”) that had been registered under the Act. The terms of the Notes issued in the exchange offer were identical in all material respects to the terms of the 7% Notes ~~except the Notes issued in the exchange offer~~that had been registered under the Act.

The 7% Notes ~~are~~were governed by an Indenture dated May 14, 2014 ~~(the “Indenture”),~~ among the Company, certain of the Company’s subsidiaries ~~(the “Subsidiary Guarantors”)~~ and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as ~~Trustee~~trustee and Collateral Agent. A Subsidiary Guarantor can be released from its Guarantee (as defined in the Indenture) if (a) all of the capital stock issued by such Subsidiary Guarantor or all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor are sold or otherwise disposed of; (b) thecollateral agent. The Company designates such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture); (c) if the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option; or (d) upon satisfaction and discharge of the

~~Indenture or payment in full in cash of the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid~~paid interest on the ~~Notes.~~

The holders of the Notes have a first priority lien on substantially all of the Company’s assets and the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors, except with respect to accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash, securities and general intangibles (other than intellectual property), on which the holders of the Notes have a second priority lien to the ~~$110.0 million~~ ~~Credit Agreement.~~

~~The Company pays interest on the~~7% Notes semi-annually, in arrears, on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

The 7% Notes ~~include~~included customary covenants and events of default as well as a consolidated fixed charge ratio of 2.0:1 for the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on additional debt, liens, negative pledges, investments, dividends, stock repurchases, asset sales and affiliate transactions. Events of default include, among other events, non-performance of covenants, breach of representations, cross-default to other material debt, bankruptcy, insolvency, material judgments and changes in control. ~~As of~~ ~~March 26, 2017, the Company was in compliance with the covenants contained in the Indenture governing the Notes.~~

The Company may redeem some or all of the Notes at 105.25% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes through May 15, 2017, 102.625% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes if redeemed on or after May 16, 2017 but on or before May 15, 2018 and 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes if redeemed on or after May 16, 2018, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

The terms of the Indenture require that the net cash proceeds from asset dispositions be utilized to (i) repay or prepay amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement unless such amounts are reinvested in similar collateral, (ii) make an investment in assets that replace the collateral of the Notes or (iii) a combination of both clauses (i) and (ii). To the extent there are any remaining net proceeds from the asset disposition after application of clauses (i) and (ii), such amounts are required to be utilized to repurchase Notes at par after 360 days following the asset disposition.

Following the sale of its U.S. and U.K. Electronic Products Divisions (the “Herley Entities”) the Company paid down $41.0 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement and repurchased $175.0 million of the Notes at par, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture. The total reacquisition price of the Notes was $178.4 million including the write off of $1.8 million of unamortized issue costs, $1.4 million of unamortized discount, along with $0.2 million of legal fees, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.4 million.

The Company reinvested all net proceeds remaining after the repurchase of the $175.0 million of Notes in replacement collateral under the Indenture within 360 days following the asset disposition, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

During the ~~quarter~~year ended December 25, 2016, the Company repurchased and extinguished $14.5 million of the outstanding 7% Notes, which resulted in a gain of $0.4 million offset by $0.1 million of unamortized issuance cost and $0.1 million of unamortized discount resulting in a gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million.

During the quarter ended March 26, 2017, the Company repurchased and extinguished $62.7 million of the outstanding 7% Notes, which resulted in a loss of $1.4 million and the realization of $0.4 million of unamortized issuance cost and $0.3 million of unamortized discount resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.1 million.

~~As of March 26,~~During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, ~~there was~~the Company redeemed and extinguished the remaining $372.8 million of outstanding 7% Notes, which resulted in ~~Notes outstanding.~~a loss of $12.0 million and the realization of $1.9 million of unamortized issuance cost and $1.3 million of unamortized discount resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $15.2 million.

~~(b)~~

$110.0 Million Credit Agreement

On May 14, 2014, the Company entered into a $110.0 million Credit and Security Agreement, dated May 14, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), with the lenders from time to time party thereto, SunTrust Bank, as Agent (the “Agent”), PNC Bank, National Association, as Joint Lead Arranger and Documentation Agent, and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as Joint Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner. The Credit Agreement established a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in the maximum amount of $110.0 million (subject to a potential increase of the maximum principal amount to $135.0 million, subject to the Agent’s and applicable lenders’ approval as described therein), consisting of a subline for letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million, as well as a swingline loan in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $10.0 million. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on the Company’s accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash, securities and general intangibles (other than intellectual property). The obligations under the

Credit Agreement are secured by a second priority lien, junior to the lien securing the Notes, on all of the Company’s other assets.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, which include, but are not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, and investments, and limits on other various payments, as well as a financial covenant relating to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.15:1 (as modified per the Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment, as defined and discussed below). Events of default under the terms of the Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to: failure of the Company to pay any principal of any loans in full when due and payable; failure of the Company to pay any interest on any loan or any fee or other amount payable under the Credit Agreement within three business days after the date when due and payable; failure of the Company or any of its subsidiaries to comply with certain covenants and agreements, subject to applicable grace periods and/or notice requirements; any representation, warranty or statement made in or pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any related writing or any other material information furnished by the Company or any of its subsidiaries to the Agent or the lenders proving to be false or erroneous; and the occurrence of an event or condition having or reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect, which includes a material adverse effect on the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or prospects of the Company or the ability of the Company to repay its obligations. Where an event of default arises from certain bankruptcy events, the commitments will automatically and immediately terminate and the principal of, and interest then outstanding on, all of the loans will become immediately due and payable. Subject to certain notice requirements and other conditions, upon the occurrence of an event of default, including the occurrence of a condition having or reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect, commitments may be terminated and the principal of, and interest then outstanding on, all of the loans may become immediately due and payable. As of March 26, 2017, no event of default had occurred and the Company believes that events or conditions having a material adverse effect, giving rise to an acceleration of any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, have not occurred and the likelihood of such events or conditions occurring is remote.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may take the form of a base rate revolving loan, Eurodollar revolving loan or swingline loan. Base rate revolving loans and swingline loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the applicable margin from time to time in effect plus the highest of (i) the Agent’s prime lending rate, as in effect at such time, (ii) the federal funds rate, as in effect at such time, plus ~~0.50%~~ ~~per annum, and (iii) the adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) determined at such time for an interest period of one month, plus~~ ~~1.00%~~ per annum. Eurodollar revolving loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the applicable margin from time to time in effect plus the adjusted LIBOR. The applicable margin varies between ~~1.50%~~ ~~and~~ ~~2.00%~~ ~~for base rate revolving loans and swingline loans and~~ ~~2.50%~~ ~~and~~ ~~3.00%~~ for Eurodollar loans, and is based on several factors including the Company’s then-existing borrowing base and the lender’s total commitment amount and revolving credit exposure. The calculation of the Company’s borrowing base takes into account several items relating to the Company and its subsidiaries, including, without limitation, amounts due and owing under billed and unbilled accounts receivables, then-held eligible raw materials inventory, work-in-process inventory, and applicable reserves.

On May 31, 2015, the Company entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Third Amendment, the definitions of certain terms of the Credit Agreement were modified, the disposition by the Company of Herley Industries, Inc. (“Herley”) and certain of Herley’s subsidiaries, including Herley-CTI, Inc., EW Simulation Technology, Ltd. and Stapor Research, Inc. (collectively, the ~~Herley Entities~~“Herley Entities”), was approved by the lenders, a minimum $175.0 million repurchase of the 7% Notes by the Company was required and the payment in full of the

outstanding balance of the Credit Agreement was required. Additionally, the measurement of the fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.15:1 was modified as follows: (i) the fixed charge coverage ratio will not be measured as of the end of any quarterly reporting period ending after June 30, 2015, if on such date (a) there are no outstanding revolving loans or swingline loans and (b) the aggregate amount outstanding under letters of credit is less than or equal to $17.0 million, and (ii) as to any subsequent quarterly reporting period ending after June 30, 2015, and not covered by clause (i) above, a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.05:1 must be maintained if the percentage of (a) outstanding revolving loans plus the sum of the outstanding swingline loans and outstanding letters of credit that are in excess of $17.0 million, to (b) the revolving credit commitment, minus the Herley Disposition Proceeds Reinvestment Reserve (as defined ~~below)~~in the Third Amendment) is greater than 0.00% but less than 15.00% or a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.10:1 must be maintained if the aforementioned percentage is equal to or greater than 15.00% but less than 25.00%. In all other instances, a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.15:1 must be maintained. For purposes of computing the fixed charge coverage ratio, the associated reduction in consolidated interest expense in connection with the repurchase of the 7% Notes with proceeds from the sale of the Herley Entities shall be deemed to have occurred on the first day of the most recently completed four quarterly reporting periods prior to the sale.

The terms of the Third Amendment also included the establishment of a reserve (the “Herley Disposition Proceeds Reinvestment Reserve”) that reduced the maximum $110.0 million total borrowing base on the Credit Agreement. With the sale of the Herley Entities, a $50.8 million reserve was established based upon the collateral carrying value under the Credit Agreement of the Herley Entities disposed. The reserve and therefore the maximum borrowing base were adjusted monthly for the subsequent cumulative reinvestment in similar collateral assets over a period not to have exceeded 360 days from the date of sale of the Herley Entities. As of March 26, 2017, there was no reserve on the maximum borrowings, resulting from a cumulative reinvestment in similar collateral assets since the sale of the Herley Entities in excess of the $50.8 million reserve

established at the date of the sale of the Herley Entities. The Company made investments in assets that replaced the collateral, which reinstated the maximum facility to the full $110.0 million as of the end of the first quarter of 2016.

On August 20, 2015, the Company entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Among other things, the Fourth Amendment provides for a modification of the Third Amendment as it relates to when the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio will be measured based upon the Company’s outstanding borrowings. Outstanding borrowings for purposes of computing the applicable minimum fixed charge coverage ratio exclude any letter of credit exposure outstanding of $17.0 million plus the amount of letters of credit outstanding for the divested Herley Entities for which a cash deposit has been placed in escrow by the Buyer to cover the amount of such outstanding letters of credit, should the letters of credit be pulled.

On November 20, 2017, the Company entered into an amended and restated Credit Agreement with the lenders from time to time party thereto, the Agent, PNC Bank, National Association, as Joint Lead Arranger and Documentation Agent, and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as Joint Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner. As amended and restated, the Credit Agreement establishes a five year senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $90.0 million (subject to a potential increase of the aggregate principal amount to $115.0 million, subject to SunTrust’s and applicable lenders’ approval), consisting of a subline for letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million, as well as a swingline loan in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $10.0 million.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility may take the form of a base rate revolving loan, Eurodollar revolving loan or swingline loan. Base rate revolving loans and swingline loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from time to time in effect plus the highest of (i) the Agent’s prime lending rate, as in effect at such time, (ii) the federal funds rate, as in effect at such time, plus 0.50% per annum and (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) determined at such time for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00% per annum. Eurodollar revolving loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect plus the Adjusted LIBO Rate. The Applicable Margin varies between 1.00%-1.50% for base rate revolving loans and swingline loans and 2.00%-2.50% for Eurodollar loans, and is based on several factors including the Company’s then-existing borrowing base and the lenders’ total commitment amount and revolving credit exposure. The calculation of the Company’s borrowing base takes into account several items relating to the Company and its subsidiaries, including amounts due and owing under billed and unbilled accounts receivable, then held eligible raw materials inventory, work-in-process inventory, and applicable reserves.

The measurement of a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio under the Credit Agreement was modified in November 2017 to require measurement if Excess Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement) is less than fifty percent of the lesser of the borrowing base or the total commitment amount.

As of ~~March 26, 2017,~~April 1, 2018, there were no borrowings outstanding on the Credit Agreement and ~~$10.1~~$9.6 million outstanding on letters of credit, resulting in net borrowing base availability of ~~$57.4~~$59.0 million. The Company was in compliance with the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement and its amendments as of ~~March 26, 2017.~~April 1, 2018.

Debt Acquired in Acquisition

The Company has a $10.0 million ten-year term loan with a bank in Israel entered into on September 16, 2008 in connection with the acquisition of one of its wholly owned subsidiaries. The balance under the term loan as of ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 was $~~1.5~~0.5 million, and the loan is payable in quarterly installments of $0.3 million plus interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.5%. The loan agreement governing the term loan contains various covenants, including a minimum net equity covenant as defined in the loan agreement. The Company was in compliance with all covenants contained in the loan agreement as of ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018.

Fair Value of Long-term Debt

Carrying amounts and the related estimated fair values of the Company’s long-term debt financial instruments not measured at fair value on a recurring basis at ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 and December ~~25, 2016~~31, 2017 are presented in the following table:


	As of March 26, 2017						As of December 25, 2016						As of April 1, 2018						As of December 31, 2017
$ in millions	Principal		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Principal		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Principal		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Principal		Carrying Amount		Fair Value

The fair value of the Company’s long-term debt was based upon actual trading activity (Level 1, Observable inputs -quoted prices in active markets).

As of ~~March 26, 2017,~~April 1, 2018, the difference between the carrying amount of ~~$370.3~~$294.1 million and the principal amount of ~~$374.3~~$300.5 million presented in the table above is the ~~net unamortized original issue discount of~~ ~~$1.8 million~~ ~~and the~~ unamortized debt issuance costs of ~~$2.2~~$6.4 million, which are being accreted to interest expense over the term of the related debt. As of December ~~25, 2016,~~31, 2017, the difference between the carrying amount of ~~$432.0~~$294.3 million and the principal amount of ~~$437.3~~$300.8 million presented in the table above is the ~~net unamortized original issue discount of $2.4 million and the~~ unamortized debt issuance costs of ~~$2.9~~$6.5 million, which are being accreted to interest expense over the term of the related debt.

KGS and US customers primarily include national security related agencies, the U.S. Department of Defense (the “DoD”), intelligence agencies and classified agencies, and to a lesser degree, international government agencies and domestic and international commercial customers. ~~The~~

As discussed in “Discontinued Operations” in Note 3, on February 28, 2018, the Company entered into a Purchase Agreement to sell the operations of its Public Safety & Security ~~(“PSS”)~~business unit which had previously been reported as a separate reportable ~~segment provides independent integrated solutions~~business segment. Accordingly, PSS and its subsidiaries have been classified as held for ~~advanced homeland security, public safety, critical infrastructure,~~sale and ~~security and surveillance systems for government and commercial applications. PSS customers include those~~reported in discontinued operations in the ~~critical infrastructure, power generation, power transport, nuclear energy,~~accompanying condensed consolidated financial ~~IT, healthcare, education, transportation and petro-chemical industries, as well as certain government and military customers.~~statements for all periods presented.

The Company organizes its reportable segments based on the nature of the products, solutions and services offered. Transactions between segments are generally negotiated and accounted for under terms and conditions similar to other government and commercial contracts. This presentation is consistent with the Company’s operating structure. In the following table total operating income (loss) from continuing operations of the reportable business segments is reconciled to the corresponding consolidated amount. The reconciling item “unallocated corporate expense, net” includes costs for certain stock-based compensation programs (including stock-based compensation costs for stock options, employee stock purchase plan and restricted stock units), the effects of items not considered part of management’s evaluation of segment operating performance, merger and acquisition expenses, corporate costs not allocated to the segments, and other miscellaneous corporate activities.

During the three months ended March 27, 2016, the PSS reportable segment recorded a $1.9 million charge related to a litigation settlement of a contract dispute and the KGS reportable segment recorded a $3.0 million impairment charge of the carrying value of inventories as a result of the decision to close one of its manufacturing facilities and the exit of certain lower margin product business lines.

Revenues, depreciation and amortization, and operating income (loss) generated by the Company’s reportable segments for the three month periods ended ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 and March ~~27, 2016~~26, 2017 are as follows (in millions):

Note 9.11. Significant Customers

Revenue from the U.S. Government, which includes foreign military sales, includes revenue from contracts for which the Company is the prime contractor as well as those for which the Company is a subcontractor and the ultimate customer is the U.S. Government. The KGS and US segments have substantial revenue from the U.S. Government. Sales to the U.S. Government amounted to approximately ~~$96.3~~$100.9 million and $~~95.4~~96.3 million, or ~~57%~~71% and ~~62%~~73% of total Kratos revenue, for the three months ended ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 and March ~~27, 2016~~26, 2017, respectively.

Note ~~10.~~12. Commitments and Contingencies

In addition to commitments and obligations in the ordinary course of business, the Company is subject to various claims, pending and potential legal actions for damages, investigations relating to governmental laws and regulations and other matters arising out of the normal conduct of the Company’s business. The Company assesses contingencies to determine the degree of probability and range of possible loss for potential accrual in its condensed consolidated financial statements. An estimated loss contingency is accrued in the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements if it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Because litigation is inherently unpredictable and unfavorable resolutions could occur, assessing litigation contingencies is highly subjective and requires judgments about future events. When evaluating contingencies, the Company may be unable to provide a meaningful estimate due to a number of factors, including but not limited to the procedural status of the matter in question, the presence of complex or novel legal theories, and the ongoing discovery and development of information important to the matters. In addition, damage amounts claimed in litigation against it may be unsupported, exaggerated or unrelated to possible outcomes and, as such, are not meaningful indicators of its potential liability. The Company regularly reviews contingencies to determine the adequacy of its accruals and related disclosures. The amount of ultimate loss may differ from these estimates. It is possible that cash flows or results of operations could be materially affected in any particular period by the unfavorable resolution of one or more of these contingencies. Whether any losses finally determined in any claim, action, investigation or proceeding could reasonably have a material effect on the Company’s business, financial condition, results of operations or cash flows will depend on a number of variables, including the timing and amount of such losses; the structure and type of any remedies; the monetary significance any such losses, damages or remedies may have on the Company’s condensed consolidated financial statements; and the unique facts and circumstances of the particular matter that may give rise to additional factors.

Legal and Regulatory Matters

U.S. Government Cost Claims.

The Company’s contracts with the DoD are subject to audit by the Defense Contract Audit Agency (“DCAA”). As a result of these audits, from time to time the Company is advised of claims concerning potential disallowed, overstated or disputed costs. For example, during the course of recent audits of the Company’s contracts, the DCAA is closely examining and questioning certain of the established and disclosed practices that it had previously audited and accepted. The Company’s personnel regularly scrutinizes costs incurred and allocated to contracts with the U.S. Government for compliance with regulatory standards. On July 28, 2015, the Company received a determination letter from the Defense Contract Management Agency (“DCMA”) regarding what the DCMA believed were certain unallowable costs for one of the Company’s subsidiaries with respect to fiscal year 2007. In April 2016, the Company reached an agreement with the DCAA to settle matters related to unallowable costs for this subsidiary for fiscal years 2007 and 2008 for approximately $0.2 million. For those Company subsidiaries and fiscal years which have not yet been audited by the DCAA or for those audits which are in process which have not been completed by the DCAA, the Company cannot reasonably estimate the range of loss, if any, that may result from audits and reviews in which it is currently involved given the inherent difficulty in predicting regulatory action, fines and penalties, if any, and the various remedies and levels of judicial review available to the Company in the event of an adverse finding. As a result, the Company has not recorded any liability related to these matters.

Other Litigation Matters.

The Company is subject to normal and routine litigation arising from the ordinary course and conduct of business and, at times, as a result of acquisitions and dispositions. Such disputes include, for example, commercial, employment, intellectual property, environmental and securities matters. The aggregate amounts accrued related to these matters are not material to the total liabilities of the Company. The Company intends to defend itself in any such matters and does not currently believe that the outcome of any such matters will have a material adverse impact on the Company’s financial condition, results of operations or cash flows. ~~In the first quarter of fiscal 2016, the Company recorded a charge of $1.9 million related to a litigation settlement of a contract dispute in the PSS segment.~~

Note ~~11.~~13. Condensed Consolidating Financial Statements

~~The~~As of April 1, 2018, the Company ~~has~~had $~~372.8~~300.0 million in outstanding Notes (see Note 7)9). The Notes are guaranteed by the Subsidiary Guarantors and are collateralized by the assets of all of the Company’s 100% owned subsidiaries. The Notes are fully and unconditionally guaranteed on a joint and several basis by each Subsidiary Guarantor and the Company. There are no contractual restrictions with respect to the Notes limiting cash transfers from Subsidiary Guarantors by dividends, loans or advances to the Company. The Notes are not guaranteed by the Company’s foreign subsidiaries (the “Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries”).

The following tables present condensed consolidating financial statements for the parent company, the Subsidiary Guarantors and the Non-Guarantor Subsidiaries, respectively. The condensed consolidating financial information below follows

the same accounting policies as described in the condensed consolidated financial statements, except for the use of the equity method of accounting to reflect ownership interests in 100% owned subsidiaries, which are eliminated upon consolidation.

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (this “Quarterly Report”) contains “forward-looking statements” relating to our future financial performance, the market for our services and our expansion plans and opportunities. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terminology such as “may,” “will,” “should,” “expect,” “plan,” “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “predict,” “potential,” or “continue,” the negative of such terms or other comparable terminology. These forward-looking statements reflect our current beliefs, expectations and projections, are based on assumptions, and are subject to known and unknown risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results or achievements to differ materially from any future results or achievements expressed in or implied by our forward-looking statements. Many of these factors are beyond our ability to control or predict. As a result, you should not place undue reliance on forward-looking statements. Important risks and uncertainties that could cause our actual results or achievements to differ materially from the results or achievements reflected in our forward-looking statements include, but are not limited to: changes or cutbacks in spending or the appropriation of funding by the federal government, including the U.S. Department of Defense (the “DoD”), which could cause delays, cancellations or reductions of key government contracts; bid protests; changes in the scope or timing of our projects; the timing, rescheduling or cancellation of significant customer contracts and agreements, or consolidation by or the loss of key customers; risks of adverse regulatory action or litigation; risks associated with debt leverage; failure to successfully achieve our integration, cost reduction or divestiture strategies; risks related to security breaches, cybersecurity attacks or other significant disruptions of our information systems; and competition in the marketplace, which could reduce revenues and profit margins, as well as the additional risks and uncertainties described in this Quarterly Report, in “Item 1A-Risk Factors” of our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December ~~25, 2016~~31, 2017 filed with the U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February ~~27, 2017~~28, 2018 (the “Form 10-K”), and in other reports that we have filed with the SEC.

Industry Update

Faced with significant budget pressures, in recent years the U.S. Government has implemented reductions in government spending, including reductions in appropriations for the DoD and other federal agencies, pursuant to the Budget Control Act of 2011 (“BCA”), as amended by the American Taxpayer Relief Act of 2012On February 9, 2018, Congress approved and the Bipartisan Budget Act of 2013. Pursuant to the terms of the BCA, a sequestration went into effect in March 2013 resulting in a 7.8% reduction to the DoD budget for fiscal year (the period running from October 1st to September 30th, a “FY”) 2013 to $495.5 billion, excluding funding for military personnel. The DoD budget was approximately $496.0 billion in FY 2014 and remained at a similar level in FY 2015. The DoD base budget excludes funding for Overseas Contingency Operations (“OCO”), such as those in Afghanistan, Iraq and Syria, which are appropriated separately and are not currently subject to the BCA.

~~On November 2, 2015, Barack Obama~~President signed the Bipartisan Budget Act of ~~2015 (“BBA”), formalizing the terms of a two-year budget agreement~~2018, which raised the U.S. debt ceiling and lifted the sequestration spending caps by $80.0 billion. Under the budget agreement, the total federal spending increase over the BCA topline funding caps was $50.0 billion in FY 2016 and $30.0 billion in FY 2017, with the amounts divided equally between defense and domestic priorities. The overallprovides that:


1.	spending limits created by the Budget Control Act of 2011 will be increased by approximately $300 billion over the next two years;


2.	defense spending will be increased by $80 billion in the current fiscal year (“FY”) and by $85 billion next year, to approximately $700 billion and $705 billion, respectively;


3.	domestic spending will be increased by $63 billion this year and by $68 billion next year; and

discretionary budget was set at $1.067 trillion in FY 2016 and $1.07 trillion in FY 2017. The FY 2016 discretionary defense budget was $548.1 billion, a $25.0 billion increase over the BCA topline funding caps.


4.	Congress will suspend the debt limit through March 2019, putting the next debt limit vote past the 2018 midterm elections.

~~Under~~Congress and the ~~BBA,~~President also executed a fifth continuing resolution authorization through March 23, 2018, to provide congressional appropriators the ~~Obama Administration received $33.0 billion of~~time required to appropriately document and allocate the ~~$38.0 billion national defense spending increase it sought in FY 2016. In summary~~authorized spending. On March 23, 2018, the ~~budget agreement:~~

~~extended the BCA out to 2025;~~

~~suspended the U.S. debt limit/ceiling until March 2017;~~

~~increased spending caps for FY 2016 and FY 2017 by $80.0 billion, including $50.0 billion in FY 2016 and $30.0 billion in FY 2017, split evenly between defense and domestic priorities; and~~

~~included a FY 2016 DoD base budget of $548.0 billion and a FY 2016 OCO budget of $59.0 billion.~~

~~On December 18, 2015, Congress passed and Mr. Obama~~President signed the ~~Consolidated~~Omnibus Appropriations Act ~~of 2016,~~for FY18, which ~~provided funding for the U.S. Government for FY 2016, providing $1.1~~provides $1.3 trillion in discretionary funding for federal ~~agencies through September 2016. Mr. Obama signed a continuing resolution~~agencies. In total for FY 2018, Congress appropriated approximately $700 billion for national security, including approximately $630 billion for base discretionary funding and approximately $70 billion in ~~September 2016, which was extended in December 2016,~~Overseas Contingency Operations funding.

The federal budget and provides funding for the U.S. Government at FY 2016 levels through April 28, 2017. On April 28, 2017, Congress passed a one-week stop gap funding bill through May 5, 2017. On May 3, 2017, the U.S. House of Representatives passed a $1.16 trillion budget bill which proposes a $15 billion supplementdebt ceiling are expected to ~~the DoD base budget for the government fiscal year ended September 30, 2017. The bill was approved by the Senate on May 4, 2017 and is required~~continue to be ~~signed by~~ the ~~President by May 5, 2017 before~~subject of considerable debate, which could have a significant impact on defense spending broadly and the ~~continuing resolution expires.~~

~~Failure to enact appropriations or to extend a continuing resolution would result~~Company’s programs in ~~a government shutdown of unknown duration.~~particular in the future. If a prolonged government shutdown were to occur, it could result in program cancellations ~~and~~and/or stop work orders and could limit our ability to perform on our U.S. Government contracts and the U.S. Government’s ability to make timely payments.

In March 2017, the debt ceiling was reached and the Treasury Department began taking “extraordinary measures” to finance the government. It is expected that in mid-to-late 2017 the U.S. Government will exhaust these available measures and Congress will need to raise the debt limit in order for the U.S. Government to continue borrowing money. If the debt ceiling is not raised, we may be required to continue to perform for some period of time on certain of our U.S. Government contracts even if the U.S. Government is unable to make timely payments.

In March 2017, President Trump released a blueprint of his FY 2018 budget request, which seeks $574 billion for the DoD’s base budget and $65 billion for OCO. The requested budget exceeds the caps established under the BCA. It is unclear whether an annual appropriations bill will be enacted for FY 2018 at the levels proposed by the President and the government may once again at least begin its fiscal year operating under a continuing resolution.

Reportable Segments

The Company ~~operates~~has historically operated in three reportable segments. The Kratos Government Solutions (“KGS”) reportable segment is comprised of an aggregation of KGS operating segments, including our microwave electronic products, satellite communications, modular systems and defense and rocket support services operating segments. The Unmanned Systems (“US”) reportable segment consists of our unmanned aerial system and unmanned ground and seaborne system businesses. The Public Safety & Security ~~(“PSS”)~~ reportable segment (which has been classified as discontinued operations - see Note 3) provides independent integrated solutions for advanced homeland security, public safety, critical infrastructure, and security and surveillance systems for government and commercial applications. We organize our business segments based primarily on the nature of the products, solutions and services offered. Transactions between segments are negotiated and accounted for under terms and conditions similar to other government and commercial contracts, and these intercompany transactions are eliminated in consolidation.

On February 28, 2018, we entered into a Stock Purchase Agreement (the “Purchase Agreement”) to sell the operations of Kratos Public Safety & Security Solutions, Inc., a Delaware corporation and wholly owned subsidiary of the Company (“PSS”), to Securitas Electronic Security, Inc. a Delaware corporation (“Buyer”). Pursuant to the Purchase Agreement, we agreed to sell to the Buyer all of the issued and outstanding capital stock of PSS for a purchase price of $69 million in cash, subject to a net working capital adjustment at closing (the “Transaction”). We expect to receive approximately $70 million of net cash proceeds from the Transaction, after taking into account amounts to be paid by us pursuant to a negotiated transaction services agreement between us and the Buyer, receipt of approximately $7 million in net working capital to be retained by us and associated transaction fees and expenses. We currently expect the Transaction to close in the second quarter of 2018, following the completion of required regulatory and other related approvals.

For additional information regarding our reportable segments, see Note 810 of the Notes to Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. From a customer and solutions perspective, we view our business as an integrated whole, leveraging skills and assets wherever possible.

Key Financial Statement Concepts

~~There~~Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the requirements of ASC 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers (“ASC 606”), utilizing the modified retrospective method as discussed in Notes 1 and 2 to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Other than the adoption of ASC 606, there have been no changes to our key financial statement concepts for the three months ended ~~March 26, 2017.~~April 1, 2018. For a complete description of our business and a discussion of our critical accounting matters, please refer to Item 7, “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in the Form 10-K.

Comparison of Results for the Three Months Ended ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 to the Three Months Ended March ~~27, 2016~~26, 2017

Revenues. Revenues by operating segment for the three months ended April 1, 2018 and March 26, 2017 ~~and March 27, 2016~~ are as follows (dollars in millions):

Total revenues	$	167.8	$	153.0	$	14.8		9.7	%	$	143.0	$	132.0	$	11.0		8.3	%

Revenues increased ~~$14.8~~$11.0 million to ~~$167.8~~$143.0 million for the three months ended April 1, 2018 from $132.0 million for the three months ended March 26, ~~2017 from $153.0 million for the three months ended March 27, 2016.~~2017. Revenues in our KGS segment ~~increased~~decreased $1.2 million due to reductions of approximately $8.1 million resulting from contract losses in our legacy government services business which has been impacted by continued commoditization and price competitiveness in the government services industry due to contract awards on a lowest price technically acceptable (LPTA) basis rather than on a best value basis. These reductions were substantially offset by the approximately $3.2 million impact from the acceleration in revenue recognition resulting from the implementation of ASC 606 along with growth of approximately $3.6 million resulting from recent contract awards in ~~the~~our satellite communications, microwave products and training solutions businesses. Revenues in our US segment increased due to the approximately $4.4 million impact from the acceleration in revenue recognition resulting from the implementation of ASC 606 along with recent contract awards for our aerial target ~~products. Growth~~products, which include the commencement in July 2017 of low rate initial production of our ~~PSS business revenues was driven by security system~~SSAT/177 aerial targets for the U.S. Navy and ~~related communication equipment integration under a security system deployment~~the recent award from the U.S. Army for ~~a mass transit authority in a large metropolitan area.~~high performance unmanned aerial systems.

Product sales increased ~~$12.4~~$14.2 million to $97.0 million for the three months ended April 1, 2018 from $82.8 million for the three months ended March 26, 2017, ~~from $70.4 million for the three months ended March 27, 2016,~~ primarily as a result of a $7.7 million impact from the acceleration in revenue recognition resulting from the implementation of ASC 606 along with an increase in ~~product shipments~~production activity in our ~~KGS~~US segment. As a percentage of total revenue, product sales were ~~49.3%~~67.8% for the three months ended April 1, 2018 as compared to 62.7% for the three months ended March 26, ~~2017 as compared~~2017. Service revenues decreased by $3.2 million to ~~46.0%~~$46.0 million for the three months ended ~~March 27, 2016. Service revenues increased by $2.4 million to $85.0~~April 1, 2018 from $49.2 million for the three months ended March 26, ~~2017 from $82.6 million for the three months ended March 27, 2016.~~2017. The ~~increase~~decrease was primarily related to ~~the work performed~~reductions in our ~~PSS segment offset by reductions in certain of our~~legacy government services businesses within KGS.

Cost of Revenues. Cost of revenues increased ~~$5.6~~$6.3 million to ~~$122.7~~$102.2 million for the three months ended April 1, 2018 from $95.9 million for the three months ended March 26, ~~2017 from $117.1 million for the three months ended March 27, 2016.~~2017. The increase in cost of revenues was primarily a result of the increase in revenues discussed above.

Gross margin increased to ~~26.9%~~28.5% for the three months ended April 1, 2018 from 27.3% for the three months ended March 26, 2017. Margins on services decreased to 28.5% for the three months ended April 1, 2018 from 28.9% for the three months ended March 26, 2017, ~~from 23.5% for the three months ended March 27, 2016. Margins on services increased to 27.3% for the three months ended March 26, 2017 from 27.0% for the three months ended March 27, 2016,~~ due primarily to a ~~more~~less favorable mix of revenues. Margins on products increased to 28.6% for the three months ended April 1, 2018 from 26.4% for the three months ended March 26, 2017, ~~from 19.3% for the three months ended March 27, 2016,~~ primarily due to the mix of products ~~shipped.~~produced. Margins in the KGS segment ~~increased to 30.1%~~remained flat at 29.8% for the three months ended April 1, 2018 and 29.8% for the three months ended March 26, ~~2017 from 23.7%~~2017. Margins in the US segment increased to 23.4% for the three months ended March 27, 2016, primarily as a result of a more favorable mix of revenues, and due to the restructuring actions taken in the first quarter of 2016 in our modular systems business. Margins in the US segment decreased toApril 1, 2018 from 9.0% for the three months ended March 26, 2017, ~~from 12.7% for the three months ended March 27, 2016,~~ primarily due to a ~~less~~more favorable mix of products being produced ~~and shipped~~ during the three months ended ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 and due to anthe migration from development to production on certain platforms and the leverage on the overhead and manufacturing base due to the increase in contract development costs on certain of our new aerial target platforms. Margins in the PSS segment decreased to 24.5% for the three months ended March 26, 2017 from 27.8% for the three months ended March 27, 2016, due primarily to the mix in revenues during the quarter.production volumes.

Selling, General and Administrative (“SG&A”) Expenses. SG&A expense was ~~$38.7~~$29.8 million for the three months ended ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 and ~~$37.7~~$30.0 million for the three months ended March ~~27, 2016~~26, 2017. As a percentage of revenues, SG&A decreased to ~~23.1%~~20.8% at April 1, 2018 from 22.7% at March 26, 2017, ~~from 24.6% at March 27, 2016,~~ which is primarily due to the ~~increase in~~leverage on the fixed SG&A infrastructure as revenues ~~discussed above.~~have increased, as well as the impact of cost reduction actions taken during 2017.

Research and Development (“R&D”) Expenses. R&D expenses ~~increased $1.5~~decreased $0.8 million to ~~$4.4~~$3.6 million for the three months ended ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 from ~~$2.9~~$4.4 million for the three months ended March ~~27, 2016~~26, 2017, with the primary ~~increases~~decreases in the Company’s satellite and communications business. As a percentage of revenues, R&D ~~increased~~decreased to ~~2.6%~~2.5% for the three months

ended ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 from ~~1.9%~~3.3% of revenues in the three months ended March ~~27, 2016.~~26, 2017. R&D expenditures are primarily related to investments we are making in conjunction with our customers, with the objectives of the Company’s products being the new platform for or “designed-in” to certain new long-term program opportunities and the Company owning certain intellectual property rights for products that support these programs as well as technology upgrades and refresh activities that are necessary for the next generation of our existing product ~~lines.~~lines specifically in our technology and satellite communications business.

Unused Office Space, Restructuring Expenses, and Other. The expense of $0.4 million for the three months ended April 1, 2018 was primarily due to employee termination costs related to personnel reduction actions taken in the first quarter of 2018. The expense of $0.3 million for the three months ended March 26, 2017 was primarily due to employee termination costs related to personnel reduction actions taken in the first quarter of 2017. The expense of $5.5 million for the three months ended March 27, 2016 was primarily due to a $3.0 million impairment charge of the carrying value of inventories that was recorded in the Company’s modular systems business as a result of the closure of one of its manufacturing facilities and the exit of certain lower margin product business lines, a $1.9 million charge related to a litigation settlement of a contract dispute in our PSS business, and employee termination costs related to personnel reduction actions taken in the first quarter of 2016.

Other Expense, Net. Other expense, net ~~increased~~decreased to ~~$10.1~~$4.8 million from ~~$8.4~~$10.1 million for the three months ended April 1, 2018 and March 26, 2017, ~~and~~ ~~March 27, 2016~~, respectively. The ~~increase~~decrease in expense of ~~$1.7~~$5.3 million is primarily related to the loss of $1.4 million and the realization of $0.4 million of unamortized issuance cost and $0.3 million of unamortized discount from the repurchase and extinguishment of $62.7 million of our 7% Notes (as defined below), resulting in a $2.1 million loss on extinguishment of debt in the first quarter of ~~2017.~~2017 along with a $3.0 million reduction in interest expense reflecting the Company’s refinance of its Senior Notes in November 2017, which resulted in a reduced borrowing rate from 7.0% to 6.5% and a reduced outstanding principal balance from $431 million to $300 million.

Provision for Income Taxes. Income tax expense for the three months ended April 1, 2018 and March 26, 2017 ~~and March 27, 2016~~ was ~~$1.5~~$0.9 million and ~~$3.6~~$1.4 million, respectively. For the three months ended April 1, 2018 and March 26, 2017, ~~and March 27, 2016,~~ the expense was a function of the estimated effective tax rate for the year. The estimated effective tax rate is driven by estimated foreign taxes, estimated federal and state taxes, permanent book/tax differences, tax amortization of intangible assets that have an indefinite life under accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. and the projected income or loss for the year. ~~The income tax expense for the three months ended March 27, 2016 includes a discrete tax expense of $1.7 million related to an increase in uncertain tax positions.~~

Loss from Discontinued Operations. The loss from discontinued operations was $3.5 million for the three months ended April 1, 2018, which includes a $2.0 million increase in contract costs on certain security system deployment projects for a metropolitan transit authority and $0.8 million of transaction expenses related to the pending disposition. The income from discontinued operations was $0.1 million for the three months ended March 26, 2017. ~~There was no significant activity for the three months ended March 27, 2016.~~

Backlog

As Since our adoption of ASC 606 on January 1, 2018, revenues from remaining performance obligations, also referred to as total backlog, are now calculated as the dollar value of our remaining performance obligations on executed contracts. On April 1, 2018, we had approximately $551.8 million of total backlog, of which $495.4 million was funded. We expect to recognize approximately 55% of the remaining total backlog as revenue in 2018, an additional 26% by 2020 and the balance thereafter. The adoption of ASC 606 resulted in a reduction of approximately $138.6 million of our total backlog as of April 1, 2018. Our comparable total backlog balance as of March 26, 2017, ~~and March 27, 2016, our backlog~~applying the requirements under ASC 606, was approximately ~~$878.3~~$587.8 million ~~and $909.1 million, respectively,~~ of which ~~$616.2~~$521.7 million was ~~funded in 2017 and $553.9 million was funded in 2016. Backlog~~funded.

Total backlog is our estimate of the amount of revenue ~~we expect~~expected to ~~realize~~be realized over the remaining life of awarded contracts and task orders that we have in hand as of the measurement date. ~~Our total~~Total backlog ~~consists~~can include award fees, incentive fees, or other variable consideration estimated at the most likely amount to which the Company is expected to be entitled to the extent that it is probable that a significant reversal of cumulative revenue recognized will not occur. Total backlog can include both funded and unfunded ~~backlog.~~ future revenue under government contracts. Total backlog does not include orders for which neither party has performed and which each party has the unilateral right to terminate a wholly unperformed contract without compensating the other party. As such, total backlog generally does not include options for additional performance obligations which have not been executed unless they are considered a material right of the base agreement/contract. For indefinite delivery or indefinite quantity (“IDIQ”) contracts, only awarded or funded task orders are included for backlog purposes.

We define funded backlog as estimated future revenue under government contracts and task orders for which funding has been appropriated by Congress and authorized for expenditure by the applicable agency, plus ~~our~~an estimate of the future revenue ~~we expect~~expected to ~~realize~~be realized from ~~our~~ commercial contracts that are under firm orders. ~~Our funded~~Funded backlog does not include the full potential value of ~~our~~the Company’s contracts because Congress often appropriates funds to be used by an agency for a particular program of a contract on a yearly or quarterly basis even though the contract may call for performance over a number of years. As a result, contracts typically are only partially funded at any point during their term, and all or some of the work to be

performed under the contracts may remain unfunded unless and until Congress makes subsequent appropriation and the procuring agency allocates funding to the contract.

Unfunded backlog reflects our estimate of future revenue under awarded government contracts and task orders for which either funding has not yet been appropriated or the expenditure has not yet been authorized. Our total backlog does not include estimates of revenue from government wide acquisition contracts or General Services Administration schedules beyond awarded or funded task orders, but our unfunded backlog does include estimates of revenue beyond awarded or funded task orders for other types of indefinite delivery or indefinite quantity contracts based on our experience under such contracts and similar contracts. Unfunded backlog also includes priced options, which consist of the aggregate contract revenues expected to be earned as a result of a customer exercising an option period that has been specifically defined in the original contract award.

Contracts undertaken by us may extend beyond one year. Accordingly, portions are carried forward from one year to the next as part of backlog. Because many factors affect the scheduling of projects, no assurance can be given as to when revenue will be realized on projects included in our backlog. Although funded backlog represents only business that is considered to be firm, we cannot guarantee that cancellations or scope adjustments will not occur. The majority of funded

backlog represents contracts with terms that would entitle us to all or a portion of our costs incurred and potential fees upon cancellation by the customer.

Management believes that year-to-year comparisons of backlog are not necessarily indicative of future revenues. The actual timing of receipt of revenues, if any, on projects included in backlog could change because many factors affect the scheduling of projects. In addition, cancellation or adjustments to contracts may occur. Backlog is typically subject to large variations from quarter-to-quarter as existing contracts are renewed or new contracts are awarded. Additionally, all U.S. Government contracts included in backlog, whether or not funded, may be terminated at the convenience of the U.S. Government.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of ~~March 26, 2017,~~April 1, 2018, we had cash and cash equivalents of $~~73.4~~127.8 million compared with cash and cash equivalents of $~~69.1~~130.5 million as of December ~~25, 2016~~31, 2017, which includes ~~$5.6~~$11.6 million and ~~$5.2~~$10.7 million, respectively, of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries. We are not presently aware of any restrictions on the repatriation of these ~~funds;~~funds, however, earnings of these foreign subsidiaries are essentially considered permanently invested in these foreign subsidiaries. If these funds were needed to fund our operations or satisfy obligations in the U.S. they could be repatriated, and their repatriation into the U.S. may cause us to incur additional ~~U.S. income taxes or~~ foreign withholding taxes. Any additional U.S. income taxes could be offset, in part or in whole, by foreign tax credits. The amount of such taxes and application of tax credits would be dependent on the income tax laws and other circumstances at the time these amounts are repatriated. Based on these variables, it is not practicable to determine the income tax liability that might be incurred if these earnings were to be repatriated. We do not currently intend to repatriate these earnings.

Our total debt, including capital lease obligations, principal due on our Notes, and other term debt decreased from ~~$432.0~~$294.3 million at December ~~25, 2016~~31, 2017 to ~~$370.3~~$294.1 million at ~~March 26, 2017,~~April 1, 2018, due ~~to the redemption of $62.7 million of our Notes during the three months ended March 26, 2017, in addition~~ to the principal payment required on our ten-year term loan with a bank in Israel, offset partially by the amortization of the discount on our Notes and the amortization of deferred financing costs.

We use our operating cash flow to finance trade accounts receivable, fund necessary increases in inventory, fund capital expenditures, our internal research and development investments and our ongoing operations, service our debt and make strategic acquisitions. Financing trade accounts receivable is necessary because, on average, our customers do not pay us as quickly as we pay our vendors and employees for their goods and services since a number of our receivables are contractually billable and due to us only when certain contractual milestones are achieved. Financing increases in inventory balances is necessary to fulfill shipment requirements to meet delivery schedules of our customers. Cash from continuing operations is primarily derived from our customer contracts in progress and associated changes in working capital components. Our days sales outstanding have increased to ~~124~~133 days at ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 from ~~115~~116 days as of December ~~25, 2016,~~31, 2017, primarily as a result of certain contractual billing milestones that have not yet been attained, such as equipment shipments and deliveries on certain products, and for certain flight requirements that must be fulfilled on certain aerial target programs, or final billings which are not due until completion on certain ~~of our large critical infrastructure deployment~~ projects, and therefore we are unable to contractually bill for amounts outstanding related to those milestones at this time. In addition, we used our working capital during the three months ended March 26, 2017 to build inventory of approximately ~~$9.4~~$8.9 million in anticipation of future scheduled product deliveries.

A summary of our net cash provided by (used in) operating activities from continuing operations, investing activities from continuing operations, and financing activities from continuing operations and our cash flows from discontinued operations from our condensed consolidated statements of cash flows is as follows (in millions):


	Three Months Ended						Three Months Ended

Net cash ~~used in~~provided by operating activities from continuing operations for the three months ended ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 was positively impacted by increased operating income as compared to the three months ended March ~~27, 2016,~~26, 2017, offset by changes in working capital accounts. The net use in working capital accounts for the three months ended ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 includes approximately ~~$2.0~~$1.1 million of internal development investments we are making related to the Low Cost Attritable Unmanned Aerial System Demonstration (“LCASD”). For fiscal ~~2017,~~2018, we expect to spend ~~$7.0~~an additional $5.0 million to ~~$10.0~~$7.0 million on internal development efforts that are the remaining non-capital ~~expenditure~~expenditures related for the LCASD program.

Net cash used in investing activities from continuing operations for the three months ended April 1, 2018 is comprised of capital expenditures, which consist primarily of investments in machinery, computer hardware and software and improvement of our physical properties in order to maintain suitable conditions in which to conduct our business for the three months ended April 1, 2018. Net cash used in investing activities for the three months ended March 26, 2017 is comprised of capital expenditures, which consist primarily of ~~investments~~investment in machinery, computer hardware and software and improvement of our physical properties in order to maintain suitable conditions in which to conduct our business, as well as expenditures related to internal capital investments to build ~~company-owned~~Company-owned capital aerial targets and related support equipment and tooling related to the LCASD and UTAP-22 platforms for the three months ended March 26, 2017.

During the three months ended ~~March 26, 2017,~~April 1, 2018, capital expenditures of approximately ~~$2.3~~$4.5 million were incurred in our US business, primarily related to our unmanned combat target initiative. We expect our capital expenditures for fiscal ~~2017~~2018 to be significant due primarily to the capital aerial targets and related support equipment and tooling that we are building related to the LCASD and UTAP-22 platforms in our US business. These capital expenditures are expected to equal an aggregate of approximately ~~$18.0~~$23.0 million to ~~$23.0~~$26.0 million for fiscal ~~2017.~~2018, with approximately $14.0 to $17.0 million related to our unmanned aerial system business.

Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations was $0.4 million for the three months ended April 1, 2018. Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations for the three months ended March 26, 2017 was primarily net proceeds of $81.9 million from ~~our recent completed~~an equity offering of 11.9 million shares of common stock, partially offset by $64.0 million used to retire approximately $62.7 million in principal amount of outstanding 7% Notes. ~~Net cash provided by financing activities from continuing operations for the three months ended March 27, 2016 was primarily proceeds from our employee stock purchase plan.~~

The operating cash flows of discontinued operations for the three month period ended ~~March 27, 2016~~April 1, 2018 is substantially related to the discontinued operations of our ~~U.S. and U.K. Electronic Products Divisions (the “Herley Entities”).~~Public Safety & Security business unit, including transaction expenses incurred related to the pending divestiture of this business. The operating cash flows of discontinued operations for the three month period ended March 26, 2017 is substantially related to the discontinued operations of our Public Safety & Security business unit. The investing cash flows of discontinued operations for the three months ended March 26, 2017 reflects cash used of $0.2 million, primarily related to the discontinued operations of Herley Industries, Inc. (“Herley”) and certain of Herley’s subsidiaries, including Herley-CTI, Inc., EW Simulation Technology, Ltd. and Stapor Research, Inc. (collectively, the Herley Entities. The investing cash flows of discontinued operations for the three months ended March 27, 2016 reflects cash provided of $4.7 million, primarily related to the reimbursement of taxes related to the sale of the Herley Entities.“Herley Entities”).

Contractual Obligations and Commitments

Issuance of 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025

In November 2017, we issued and sold $300 million aggregate principal amount of 6.5% Senior Secured Notes due 2025 (the “6.5% Notes”) in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”). We incurred debt issuance costs of $6.6 million associated with the new 6.5% Notes. We utilized the net proceeds from the sale of the 6.5% Notes, as well as cash from its recent equity offering to extinguish the outstanding 7% Notes. The total reacquisition price of the 7% Notes was $385.2 million, including a $12.0 million call premium, and $0.3 million of accrued interest.

The 6.5% Notes are governed by the Indenture, dated as of November 20, 2017 (the “Indenture”), among the Company, our existing and future domestic subsidiaries parties thereto (the “Subsidiary Guarantors”) and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as trustee and collateral agent. A Subsidiary Guarantor can be released from its guarantee if (a) all of the capital stock issued by such Subsidiary Guarantor or all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor are sold or otherwise disposed of; (b) we designate such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture); (c) we exercise our legal defeasance option or our covenant defeasance option; or (d) upon satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture or payment in full in cash of the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaid interest on the 6.5% Notes.

The 6.5% Notes and the guarantees (as set forth in the Indenture, the “Guarantees”) are our senior secured obligations and are equal in right of payment with all other senior obligations of the Subsidiary Guarantors’ existing and future secured debt to the extent of the assets securing that secured debt. Our obligations under the 6.5% Notes are secured by a first priority lien on substantially all of our assets and the assets of the Subsidiary Guarantors, except with respect to accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts, securities accounts, cash, securities and general intangibles (other than intellectual property), on which the holders of the 6.5% Notes have a second priority lien, junior to the lien securing our obligations under the Credit Agreement (as defined below).

The 6.5% Notes will be redeemable, in whole or in part, at any time on or after November 30, 2020 at the respective redemption prices specified in the Indenture. In addition, we may redeem up to 40% of the 6.5% Notes before November 30, 2020 with the net proceeds of certain equity offerings. We may also redeem some or all of the 6.5% Notes before November 30, 2020 at a redemption price of 100% of the principal amount thereof plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the redemption date, if any, plus a “make whole” premium. In addition, during each 12-month period commencing on the issue date and ending on or prior to November 30, 2020, we may redeem up to 10% of the original aggregate principal amount of the 6.5% Notes issued under the Indenture at a redemption price of 103.000% of the principal amount thereof, plus accrued and unpaid interest, to, but excluding, the date of redemption, if any. We may also be required to make an offer to purchase the 6.5% Notes upon a change of control and certain sales of its assets.

The Indenture contains covenants limiting, among other things, our ability and the Subsidiary Guarantors’ ability to: (a) pay dividends on or make distributions or repurchase or redeem our capital stock or make other restricted payments; (b) incur additional debt and guarantee debt; (c) prepay, redeem or repurchase certain debt; (d) issue certain preferred stock or similar equity securities; (e) make loans and investments; (f) sell assets; (g) incur liens; (h) consolidate, merge, sell or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets; (i) enter into transactions with affiliates; and (j) enter into agreements restricting our ability and certain of its subsidiaries’ ability to pay dividends. These covenants are subject to a number of exceptions. As of April 1, 2018, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the Indenture governing the 6.5% Notes.

As of April 1, 2018, there was $300.0 million of 6.5% Notes outstanding.

Issuance of 7.00% Senior Secured Notes due 2019

In May 2014, we refinanced our $625.0 million of 10% Senior Secured Notes due in 2017 (the “10% Notes”) with $625.0 million of newly issued 7.00% Senior Secured Notes due in 2019 (the “7% Notes”, and collectively with the 6.5% Notes, the “Notes”). The net proceeds from the issuance of the 7% Notes was $618.5 million after an original issue discount of $6.5 million. We incurred debt issuance costs of $8.8 million associated with the 7% Notes. We utilized the net proceeds from the issuance of the 7% Notes, a $41.0 million draw on our Credit Agreement, ~~(as defined below),~~ as well as cash from operations to extinguish the 10% Notes. The total reacquisition price of the 10% Notes was $661.5 million including a $31.2 million early termination fee, the write-off of $15.5 million of unamortized issue costs, $12.9 million of unamortized premium, along with $5.3 million of additional interest while in escrow, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $39.1 million.

~~We completed the offering of the 7% Notes in a private placement conducted pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the “Act”).~~ On October 16, 2014, ~~the Company~~we exchanged the outstanding 7% Notes for an equal amount of new 7.00% Senior Secured Notes due in 2019 (the “Notes”) that had been registered under the Act. The terms of the Notes issued in the exchange offer were identical in all material respects to the terms of the 7% Notes ~~except the Notes issued in the exchange offer~~that had been registered under the Act.

The 7% Notes ~~are~~were governed by an Indenture, dated May 14, 2014, ~~(the “Indenture”),~~ among the Company, certain of the Company’s 100% owned domestic subsidiaries ~~(the “Subsidiary Guarantors”)~~ and Wilmington Trust, National Association, as ~~Trustee~~trustee and Collateral Agent. A Subsidiary Guarantor can be released from its Guarantee (as defined in the Indenture) if (a) all of the capital stock issued by such Subsidiary Guarantor or all or substantially all of the assets of such Subsidiary Guarantor are sold or otherwise disposed of; (b) the Company designates such Subsidiary Guarantor as an Unrestricted Subsidiary (as defined in the Indenture); (c) if the Company exercises its legal defeasance option or its covenant defeasance option; or (d) upon satisfaction and discharge of the Indenture or payment in full in cash of the principal of, premium, if any, and accrued and unpaidcollateral agent. We paid interest on the ~~Notes.~~

~~We pay interest on the~~7% Notes semi-annually, in arrears, on May 15 and November 15 of each year.

The 7% Notes ~~include~~included customary covenants and events of default as well as a consolidated fixed charge ratio of 2.0:1 for the incurrence of additional indebtedness. Negative covenants include, among other things, limitations on additional debt, liens, negative pledges, investments, dividends, stock repurchases, asset sales and affiliate transactions. Events of default include, among other events, non-performance of covenants, breach of representations, cross-default to other material debt, bankruptcy, insolvency, material judgments and changes in control. ~~As of March 26, 2017, we were in compliance with the covenants contained in the Indenture governing the Notes.~~

We may redeem some or all of the Notes at 105.25% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes through May 15, 2017, 102.625% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes if redeemed on or after May 16, 2017 but on or before May 15, 2018 and 100% of the aggregate principal amount of such Notes if redeemed on or after May 16, 2018, plus accrued and unpaid interest to the date of redemption.

The terms of the Indenture require that the net cash proceeds from asset dispositions be utilized to (i) repay or prepay amounts outstanding under our Credit Agreement unless such amounts are reinvested in similar collateral, (ii) make an investment in assets that replace the collateral of the Notes or (iii) a combination of both clauses (i) and (ii). To the extent there are any remaining net proceeds from the asset disposition after application of clauses (i) and (ii), such amounts are required to be utilized to repurchase Notes at par after 360 days following the asset disposition.

Following the sale of the Herley Entities we paid down the $41.0 million outstanding under the Credit Agreement and repurchased $175.0 million of the Notes at par, in accordance with the terms of the Indenture.

The total reacquisition price of the Notes was $178.4 million including the write off of $1.8 million of unamortized issue costs, $1.4 million of unamortized discount, along with $0.2 million of legal fees, which resulted in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $3.4 million.

During the ~~quarter~~year ended December 25, 2016, ~~the Company~~we repurchased and extinguished $14.5 million of the outstanding 7% Notes, which resulted in a gain of $0.4 million offset by $0.1 million of unamortized issuance cost and $0.1 million of unamortized discount resulting in a ~~net~~ gain on extinguishment of debt of $0.2 million.

During the quarter ended March 26, 2017, ~~the Company~~we repurchased and extinguished $62.7 million of the outstanding 7% Notes, which resulted in a loss of $1.4 million and the realization of $0.4 million of unamortized issuance cost and $0.3 million of unamortized discount resulting in a ~~net~~ loss on extinguishment of debt of $2.1 million.

~~As of March 26,~~During the quarter ended December 31, 2017, ~~there was~~we redeemed and extinguished the remaining $372.8 million of outstanding 7% Notes, which resulted in ~~Notes outstanding.~~a loss of $12.0 million and the realization of $1.9 million of unamortized issuance cost and $1.3 million of unamortized discount resulting in a loss on extinguishment of debt of $15.2 million.

Other Indebtedness

$110.0 Million Credit Agreement

On May 14, 2014, we entered into a $110.0 million Credit and Security Agreement, dated May 14, 2014 (the “Credit Agreement”), with the lenders from time to time party thereto, SunTrust Bank, as Agent (the “Agent”), PNC Bank, National Association, as Joint Lead Arranger and Documentation Agent, and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as Joint Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner. The Credit Agreement established a five-year senior secured revolving credit facility in the maximum amount of $110.0 million (subject to a potential increase of the maximum principal amount to $135.0 million, subject to the Agent’s and applicable lenders’ approval as described therein), consisting of a subline for letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million, as well as a swingline loan in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $10.0 million. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on our accounts receivable, inventory, deposit accounts,

securities accounts, cash, securities and general intangibles (other than intellectual property). The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a second priority lien, junior to the lien securing the Notes, on all of our other assets.

The Credit Agreement contains certain covenants, which include, but are not limited to, restrictions on indebtedness, liens, and investments, and limits on other various payments, as well as a financial covenant relating to a minimum fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.15:1 (as modified per the Third Amendment and the Fourth Amendment, as defined and discussed below). Events of default under the terms of the Credit Agreement include, but are not limited to: our failure to pay any principal of any loans in full when due and payable; our failure to pay any interest on any loan or any fee or other amount payable under the Credit Agreement within three business days after the date when due and payable; our failure or the failure of any of our subsidiaries to comply with certain covenants and agreements, subject to applicable grace periods and/or notice requirements; any representation, warranty or statement made in or pursuant to the Credit Agreement or any related writing or any other material information furnished by us or any of our subsidiaries to the Agent or the lenders proving to be false or erroneous; and the occurrence of an event or condition having or reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect, which includes a material adverse effect on the business, operations, condition (financial or otherwise) or our prospects or our ability to repay our obligations. Where an event of default arises from certain bankruptcy events, the commitments will automatically and immediately terminate and the principal of, and interest then outstanding on, all of the loans will become immediately due and payable. Subject to certain notice requirements and other conditions, upon the occurrence of an event of default, including the occurrence of a condition having or reasonably likely to have a material adverse effect, commitments may be terminated and the principal of, and interest then outstanding on, all of the loans may become immediately due and payable. As of ~~March 26, 2017,~~April 1, 2018, no event of default had occurred and we believe that events or conditions having a material adverse effect, giving rise to an acceleration of any amounts outstanding under the Credit Agreement, have not occurred and the likelihood of such events or conditions occurring is remote.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement may take the form of a base rate revolving loan, Eurodollar revolving loan or swingline loan. Base rate revolving loans and swingline loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the applicable margin from time to time in effect plus the highest of (i) the Agent’s prime lending rate, as in effect at such time, (ii) the federal funds rate, as in effect at such time, plus 0.50% per annum, and (iii) the adjusted London Interbank Offered Rate (“LIBOR”) determined at such time for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00% per annum. Eurodollar revolving loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the applicable margin from time to time in effect plus the adjusted LIBOR. The applicable margin varies between 1.50% and 2.00% for base rate revolving loans and swingline loans and 2.50% and 3.00% for Eurodollar loans, and is based on several factors including our then-existing borrowing base and the lender’s total commitment amount and revolving credit exposure. The calculation of our borrowing base takes into account several items relating to us and our subsidiaries, including, without limitation, amounts due and owing under billed and unbilled accounts receivables, then-held eligible raw materials inventory, work-in-process inventory, and applicable reserves.

On May 31, 2015, we entered into a third amendment (the “Third Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Under the terms of the Third Amendment, the definitions of certain terms of the Credit Agreement were modified, the disposition of the Herley Entities was approved by the lenders, a minimum $175.0 million repurchase of the 7% Notes by us was required, and the payment in full of the outstanding balance of the Credit Agreement was required. Additionally, the measurement of the fixed charge coverage ratio of 1.15:1 was modified as follows: (i) the fixed charge coverage ratio will not be measured as of the end of any quarterly reporting period ending after June 30, 2015, if on such date (a) there are no outstanding revolving loans or swingline loans and (b) the aggregate amount outstanding under letters of credit is less than or equal to $17.0 million, and (ii) as to any subsequent quarterly reporting period ending after June 30, 2015, and not covered by clause (i) above, a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.05:1 must be maintained if the percentage of (a) outstanding revolving loans plus the sum of the outstanding swingline loans and outstanding letters of credit that are in excess of $17.0 million, to (b) the revolving credit commitment, minus the Herley Disposition Proceeds Reinvestment Reserve (as defined ~~below)~~in the Third Amendment) is greater than 0.00% but less than 15.00% or a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.10:1 must be maintained if the aforementioned

percentage is equal to or greater than 15.00% but less than 25.00%. In all other instances, a fixed charge coverage ratio of at least 1.15:1 must be maintained. For purposes of computing the fixed charge coverage ratio, the associated reduction in consolidated interest expense in connection with the repurchase of the 7% Notes with proceeds from the sale of the Herley Entities shall be deemed to have occurred on the first day of the most recently completed four quarterly reporting periods prior to the sale.

On August 20, 2015, we entered into a fourth amendment (the “Fourth Amendment”) to the Credit Agreement. Among other things, the Fourth Amendment provides for a modification of the Third Amendment as it relates to when the minimum fixed charge coverage ratio will be measured based upon our outstanding borrowings. Outstanding borrowings for purposes of computing the applicable minimum fixed charge coverage ratio exclude any letter of credit exposure outstanding of $17.0 million plus the amount of letters of credit outstanding for the divested Herley Entities for which a cash deposit has been placed in escrow by the Buyer to cover the amount of such outstanding letters of credit, should the letters of credit be pulled.

On November 20, 2017, we entered into an amended and restated Credit Agreement with the lenders from time to time party thereto, the Agent, PNC Bank, National Association, as Joint Lead Arranger and Documentation Agent, and SunTrust Robinson Humphrey, Inc., as Joint Lead Arranger and Sole Book Runner. As amended and restated, the Credit Agreement establishes a five year senior secured revolving credit facility in the aggregate principal amount of $90.0 million (subject to a potential increase of the aggregate principal amount to $115.0 million, subject to SunTrust’s and applicable lenders’ approval), consisting of a subline for letters of credit in an amount not to exceed $50.0 million, as well as a swingline loan in an aggregate principal amount at any time outstanding not to exceed $10.0 million.

Borrowings under the revolving credit facility may take the form of a base rate revolving loan, Eurodollar revolving loan or swingline loan. Base rate revolving loans and swingline loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin (as defined in the Credit Agreement) from time to time in effect plus the highest of (i) the Agent’s prime lending rate, as in effect at such time, (ii) the federal funds rate, as in effect at such time, plus 0.50% per annum and (iii) the Adjusted LIBO Rate (as defined in the Credit Agreement) determined at such time for an interest period of one month, plus 1.00% per annum. Eurodollar revolving loans will bear interest at a rate per annum equal to the sum of the Applicable Margin from time to time in effect plus the Adjusted LIBO Rate. The Applicable Margin varies between 1.00%-1.50% for base rate revolving loans and swingline loans and 2.00%-2.50% for Eurodollar loans, and is based on several factors including our then-existing borrowing base and the lenders’ total commitment amount and revolving credit exposure. The calculation of our borrowing base takes into account several items relating to us and our subsidiaries, including amounts due and owing under billed and unbilled accounts receivable, then held eligible raw materials inventory, work-in-process inventory, and applicable reserves.

As of ~~March 26, 2017,~~April 1, 2018, there were no borrowings outstanding on the Credit Agreement and ~~$10.1~~$9.6 million was outstanding on letters of credit, resulting in net borrowing base availability of ~~$57.4~~$59.0 million. We were in compliance with the financial covenants of the Credit Agreement and its amendments as of ~~March 26, 2017.~~April 1, 2018.

Debt Acquired in Acquisition

We assumed a $10.0 million ten-year term loan with a bank in Israel entered into on September 16, 2008 in connection with the acquisition of one of its wholly owned subsidiaries. The balance under the term loan as of ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 was $~~1.5~~0.5 million, and the loan is payable in quarterly installments of $0.3 million plus interest at LIBOR plus a margin of 1.5%. The loan agreement governing the term loan contains various covenants, including a minimum net equity covenant as defined in the loan agreement. We were in compliance with all covenants contained in the loan agreement as of ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018.

Other Liquidity Matters

We believe that our cash on hand, together with funds available under the Credit Agreement and cash expected to be generated from operating activities, will be sufficient to fund our anticipated working capital and other cash needs for at least the next 12 months.

As discussed in Part I, Item 1A, “Risk Factors” of the Form 10-K, our quarterly and annual operating results have fluctuated in the past and may vary in the future due to a variety of factors, many of which are external to our control. If the conditions in our industry deteriorate or our customers cancel or postpone projects or if we are unable to sufficiently increase

our revenues or further reduce our expenses, we may experience, in the future, a significant long-term negative impact to our financial results and cash flows from operations. In such a situation, we could fall out of compliance with our financial and other covenants, which, if not waived, could limit our liquidity and capital resources.

Critical Accounting Principles and Estimates

The foregoing discussion of our financial condition and results of operations is based on the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report. The preparation of these condensed consolidated financial statements requires us to make estimates and judgments that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, sales and expenses, and the related disclosures of contingencies. We base these estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions that are believed to be reasonable under the circumstances, the results of which form the basis for making judgments about the carrying values of assets and liabilities. Actual results may differ from these estimates.

~~There~~Effective January 1, 2018, we adopted the requirements of ASC 606 utilizing the modified retrospective method as discussed in Notes 1 and 2 to the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements. Other than the adoption of ASC 606, there have been no significant changes to our “Critical Accounting Policies or Estimates” as compared to the significant accounting policies described in the Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk.

~~We are exposed to~~Since December 31, 2017, there have been no material changes in the quantitative or qualitative aspects of our market risk ~~primarily related~~profile. For additional information regarding the Company’s exposure to ~~interest rates~~certain market risks, see “Item 7A. Quantitative and ~~foreign currency exchange rates.~~Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk” included in the Form 10-K.

Exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates to our outstanding debt. We are exposed to interest rate risk, primarily through our borrowing activities under the Credit Agreement discussed under “Contractual Obligations and Commitments” above. As we do not have a current outstanding balance, a 1% change in the LIBOR would not significantly impact our financial position. We manage exposure to these risks through our operating and financing activities and, when deemed appropriate, through the use of derivative financial instruments. Derivative financial instruments are viewed as risk management tools and are not used for speculation or for trading purposes. Derivative financial instruments would be contracted with investment grade counterparties to reduce exposure to nonperformance.

Exposure to market risk for foreign currency exchange rate risk is related to receipts from customers, payments to suppliers and intercompany loans denominated in foreign currencies. We currently enter into limited foreign currency forward contracts to manage foreign currency exchange rate risk because to date exchange rate fluctuations have had minimal impact on our operating results and cash flows.

~~Our cash and cash equivalents as of~~ ~~March 26, 2017~~ ~~were~~ ~~$73.4 million~~ and are primarily invested in money market interest bearing accounts. A hypothetical 10% adverse change in the average interest rate on our money market cash investments and short-term investments would have had no material effect on our net loss for the three months ended ~~March 26, 2017~~.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures.

Conclusions Regarding the Effectiveness of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) promulgated under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”), designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, as appropriate, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure. In designing and evaluating the disclosure controls and procedures, management recognized that any controls and procedures, no matter how well designed and operated, can provide only reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives, and management necessarily was required to apply its judgment in evaluating the cost benefit relationship of possible controls and procedures.

As required by Rule 13a-15(b) promulgated under the Exchange Act, we carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures as of the end of the period covered by this report.

Based on the foregoing, our Principal Executive Officer and Principal Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018.

Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting

We operate under the COSO (Committee of Sponsoring Organizations) 2013 Framework. There was no change in our internal control over financial reporting during the three months ended ~~March 26, 2017~~April 1, 2018 that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
