In July 2015,March 2020, the FASB issued ASU 2015-112020-04, Reference Rate Reform (Topic 330), Simplifying the Measurement of Inventory,848). This guidance provides optional guidance related to reference rate reform, which provides practical expedients for contract modifications and certain hedging relationships associated with the transition from reference rates that are expected to be discontinued. This guidance to companies who accountis applicable for inventory using eitherour borrowing instruments, which use LIBOR as a reference rate, and was effective March 12, 2020 through December 31, 2022. We are currently evaluating the first-in, first-out or average cost methods. The guidance states that companies should measure inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is defined as the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal and transportation. We adopted this update prospectively during the first quarter of fiscal 2018. The adoption had no materialpotential impact ASU 2020-04 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In May 2014,December 2019, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09 (ASC Topic 606), Revenue from Contracts with Customers with amendments issued2019-12, Income Taxes (Topic 740). This guidance simplifies the accounting for income taxes by removing certain exceptions to the general principles and also simplifies areas such as franchise taxes, step-up in 2015tax basis goodwill, separate entity financial statements and 2016. This standard update will supersede nearly all current U.S. GAAP guidance on this topicinterim recognition of enactment of tax laws and eliminate industry-specific guidance. Revenue recognition will depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. Additional disclosures will also be required to enable users to understand the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers. The new revenue standard may be applied retrospectively to each prior period presented or retrospectively with the cumulative effect recognized in retained earnings as of the date of adoption.
We are on schedule in establishing new accounting policies, implementing systems and processes (including more extensive use of estimates), and internal controls necessary to support the requirements of the new standard. We have completed our preliminary assessment of the financial statement impact of the new standard and will continue to update that assessment as more information becomes available. We expect the timing of revenue recognition to change in certain areas, including our services segment’s installation revenue, which upon adoptionrate changes. ASU 2019-12 will be recognized as revenue and costs over a period of time. The performance obligations of certain arrangements are expected to be satisfied at the time of title transfer and risk of loss to the customer which is generally upon shipment, rather than at customer acceptance. Additionally, the analysis ofeffective for us in our contracts under the new revenue recognition standard supports the recognition of revenue over time under the cost-to-cost method for some of our contracts, which is consistent with our current revenue recognition model. Revenue on these contracts will continue to be recognized over time because of the continuous transfer of control to the customer. Under the new standard, the cost-to-cost measure of progress continues to best depict the transfer of control of assets to the customer, which occurs as we incur costs. In addition, the number of our performance obligations within our financial accounting and reporting model under the existing standard is not expected to be materially different under the new standard. This preliminary assessment is based on the types and number of revenue arrangements currently in place. The exact impact of the new standard will be dependent on facts and circumstances at adoption and could vary from quarter to quarter.
We currently expense sales commissions as incurred, and the requirement in the new standard is to capitalize certain in-scope sales commissions. This requirement is being evaluated to determine its potential impact on our financial statements in the year of adoption. We expect to adopt the new standard on a modified retrospective basis in the first quarter of fiscal 2019.2022. We are continuing to assess all potential impacts of the guidance on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and given normal ongoing business dynamics, preliminary conclusions are subject to change.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, Leases (Topic 842), which introduces the recognition of lease assets and lease liabilities by lessees for those leases classified as operating leases under previous guidance. This standard will become effective for interim and annual periods beginning after December 15, 2018, with early adoption permitted. The guidance is required to be adopted at the earliest period presented using a modified retrospective approach. We expect that most of our operating lease commitments will be subject to the new standard and recognized as right-of-use assets and operating lease liabilities upon the adoption of ASU 2016-02. We arecurrently evaluating the effect the adoption of the standardpotential impact that adopting ASU 2019-12 will have on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
In JanuaryJune 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-01, 2016-13,Financial Instruments - Overall (Subtopic 825-10)Instruments-Credit Losses (Topic 326): Recognition and Measurement of Credit Losses on Financial AssetsInstruments (ASU 2016-13) and Financial Liabilitiesalso issued subsequent amendments to the initial guidance: ASU 2018-19, ASU 2019-04, and ASU 2019-05 (collectively, Topic 326). This guidance retains the current accountingTopic 326 requires measurement and recognition of expected credit losses for classifying and


measuring investments in debt securities and loans, but requires equity investments tofinancial assets held. Topic 326 will be measured at fair value with subsequent changes recognized in net income, except for those accounted for under the equity method or requiring consolidation. The guidance also changes the accounting for investments without a readily determinable fair value and do not qualify for the practical expedient to estimate fair value. A policy election can be made for these investments whereby estimated fair value may be measured at cost and adjusted in subsequent periods for any impairment or changes in observable prices of identical or similar investments. This ASU is effective for us in our first quarter of fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2017. 2024 and earlier adoption is permitted. We do not expectare evaluating the adoption of this standard toimpact adopting Topic 326 will have a material impact on our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

Note 2. Net Income Per Share of Common StockBalance Sheet Components
Net income per share is computed using the two-class method, by dividing net income attributable to us by the weighted-average number of shares of our outstanding common stockCash, Cash Equivalents, and participating securities outstanding. Our restricted shares contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends and therefore are considered to be participating securities and included in the calculations of net income per basic and diluted common share. Undistributed losses are not allocated to unvested restricted shares as the unvested restricted shares are not contractually obligated to share our losses. The impact on earnings per share of the participating securities under the two-class method is immaterial.Restricted Cash

Note 3. Balance Sheet ComponentsFair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities
Cash, Cash EquivalentsFair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. We maximize the use of observable inputs and Restricted Cashminimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value and establish a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:
12


Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;
Level 2 — Observable market-based inputs or observable inputs that are corroborated by market data; and
Level 3 — Unobservable inputs that are supported by little or no market activity and that are significant to the fair value of the assets or liabilities.

Fair value is defined as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market, in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. We maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value and establish a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value.

We classify items in Level 2 if the observable inputs to quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources are available with reasonable levels of price transparency. Our bank certificates of deposit and foreign exchange forward contracts are classified within Level 2. Foreign currency forward contracts are measured at fair value using observable foreign currency exchange rates. The changes in fair value related to our foreign currency forward contracts were recorded in cost of revenues on our unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations.
As of December 29, 2017 and June 30, 2017, we did not have any recurring assets or liabilities that were valued using significant unobservable inputs.


Our policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the actual date of the events or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the first six months of fiscal 2018 and 2017, we had no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy of our assets or liabilities measured at fair value.
Note 5. Credit Facility and Debt
On March 28, 2014,May 4, 2020, we entered into a SecondAmendment No. 3 to Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank (the “SVB Credit Facility”). The SVB Credit Facility expires on which extended the expiration date to June 30, 2018.28, 2021. The SVB Credit Facility provides for a committed amount of up to $30.0$25.0 million accounts receivable formula-based revolving credit facility that can be borrowed by our U.S. company, with a $30.0$25.0 million sublimit that can be borrowed by our Singapore subsidiary. BorrowingsLoans may be advanced under the SVB Credit Facility at the lesser of $30.0 million orbased on a borrowing base equal to a specified percentage of the value of eligible accounts receivable and U.S. unbilled accounts of the Company,borrowers under the SVB Credit Facility. The borrowing base is subject to certain reserves and eligibility criteria. The SVB Credit FacilityAvailability under the accounts receivable formula based revolving credit facility can also be utilized to issue letters of credit with a $12.0 million sublimit. IfWe may prepay loans under the SVB Credit Facility is terminated by us in certain circumstances prior to its expiration, we are subject to an early termination fee equal to 1%whole or in part at any time without premium or penalty. As of the revolving line. In September 2017, the SVB Credit Facility was amended to allow up to 30% of our Singapore subsidiary’s accounts receivable to be included in the calculation of the borrowing base and the inclusion of the accounts receivable of certain highOctober 2, 2020, available credit quality customers that are aged 90 to 120 days to be included in the calculation of the borrowing base.
Our outstanding debt under the SVB Credit Facility was $23.5 million, reflecting the lower available limit of $25.0 million less outstanding letters of credit of $1.5 million. As of July 3, 2020, our outstanding debt balance under the SVB Credit Facility, classified as a current liability, was $9.0 million, as of December 29, 2017 and June 30, 2017. the interest rate was 3.75%. We repaid the outstanding debt balance during the quarter ended October 2, 2020.
The SVB Credit Facility carries an interest rate computed, at our option, based on either (i) at the daily prime rate as publishedreported in the Wall Street Journal plus a spread of 0.50% to 1.50%, with such spread determined based on our adjusted quick ratio.ratio; or (ii) if we satisfy a minimum adjusted quick ratio, a LIBOR rate determined in accordance with the SVB Credit Facility, plus a spread of 2.75%. Any outstanding Singapore subsidiary borrowed loans shall bear interest at an additional 2.00% above the
14


applicable prime or LIBOR rate. During the first sixthree months of fiscal year 2018,2021, the weighted averageweighted-average interest rate on our outstanding loan was 4.79%3.75%. As of December 29, 2017, available credit under the SVB Credit Facility was $11.7 million reflecting the calculated borrowing base of $23.3 million less existing borrowings of $9.0 million and outstanding letters of credit of $2.6 million.
The SVB Credit Facility contains quarterly financial covenants including minimum adjusted quick ratio and minimum profitability (EBITDA) requirements. In the event our adjusted quick ratio falls below a certain level, cash received in our accounts with SVBSilicon Valley Bank may be directly applied to reduce outstanding obligations under the SVB Credit Facility. The SVB Credit Facility also imposes certain restrictions on our ability to dispose of assets, permit a change in control, merge or consolidate, make acquisitions, incur indebtedness, grant liens, make investments, make certain restricted payments, and enter into transactions with affiliates under certain circumstances. Certain of our assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment, are pledged as collateral for the SVB Credit Facility.

Significant changes in contract balances may arise as a result of recognition over time for services, transfer of control for equipment, and periodic payments (both in arrears and in advance).
From time to time, we may experience unforeseen events that could result in a change to the scope or price associated with an arrangement. When such events occur, we update the transaction price and measure of progress for the performance obligation and recognize the change as a cumulative catch-up to revenue. Because of the nature and type of contracts we engage in, the timeframe to completion and satisfaction of current and future performance obligations can shift; however, this will have no impact on our restructuring related activitiesfuture obligation to bill and collect.
As of October 2, 2020, we had $33.4 million in advance payments and unearned revenue and long-term unearned revenue, of which approximately 68% is expected to be recognized as revenue in the remainder of fiscal 2021 and the balance thereafter. During the three months ended October 2, 2020 we recognized approximately $11.4 million which was included in advance payments and unearned revenue at the beginning of the reporting period.
Remaining Performance Obligations

The aggregate amount of transaction price allocated to our unsatisfied (or partially unsatisfied) performance obligations was approximately $75.4 million at October 2, 2020. Of this amount, we expect to recognize approximately 60% as revenue during the next 12 months, with the remaining amount to be recognized as revenue within two to five years.

employee directors. The 2018 Plan also provides for the issuance of share-based awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and units, and performance share awards and units.
Under the 2018 Plan, option exercise prices are equal to the fair market value of our common stock on the date the options are granted using our closing stock price. After vesting, options generally may be exercised within seven years after the date of grant.
Restricted stock units are not transferable until vested and the restrictions lapse upon the achievement of continued employment or service over a specified time period. Restricted stock units issued to employees generally vest three years from the date of grant (three-year cliff or annually over three years). Restricted stock units issued to non-executive board members annually generally vest on the day before the annual stockholders’ meeting.
Vesting of performance share awards and units is subject to the achievement of predetermined financial performance criteria and continued employment through the end of the applicable period. Market-based stock units vest upon meeting certain predetermined share price performance criteria and continued employment through the end of the applicable period.

On September 6, 2016, our Board of Directors authorized and declared a dividend distribution of 1 right (a “Right”) for each outstanding share of our common stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Common Shares”), to our stockholders of record as of the close of business on September 16, 2016 (the “Record Date”). Each Right entitles the registered holder to purchase from the Company one one-thousandth of a share of Series A Participating Preferred Stock, par value $0.01 per share (the “Preferred Shares”), of the Company at an exercise price of $35.00 (the “Exercise Price”) per one one-thousandth of a Preferred Share, subject to adjustment. Until the rights become exercisable, they will not be evidenced by separate certificates and will trade automatically with shares of the Company’s common stock. The Rights have a de minimis fair value. The complete terms of the Rights are set forth in a Tax Benefit Preservation Plan (the “Plan”), dated as of September 6, 2016, between the Company and Computershare Inc., as rights agent. By adopting the Plan, we are helping to preserve the value of certain deferred tax benefits, including those generated by net operating losses (collectively, the “Tax Benefits”), which could be lost in the event of an “ownership change” as defined under Section 382 of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended. The Plan reduces the likelihood that changes in our investor base have the unintended effect of limiting our use of the Tax Benefits. The Plan expired on September 6, 2019. On March 3, 2020, our Board of Directors reauthorized the Plan at the same term with a Record Date of March 13, 2020. On August 27, 2020, we entered into the Amended and Restated Tax Benefit Preservation Plan (the “Amended and Restated Plan”) with Computershare Inc. as Rights Agent.

The Amended and Restated Plan, reauthorized by our Board of Directors on March 3, 2020, will be subject to our shareholders approval at our upcoming Annual Shareholders’ Meeting to be held on November 11, 2020.

Note 9.10. Income Taxes
On December 22, 2017, the U.S. government enacted comprehensive tax legislation commonly referred to as the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act (“Tax Act”). The Tax Act makes broad and complex changes to the U.S. tax code that will affect our fiscal year ending June 29, 2018, including, but not limited to, (1) reducing the U.S. federal corporate tax rate, (2) requiring a one-time transition tax on certain unrepatriated earnings of foreign subsidiaries that is payable over eight years, and (3) elimination of the corporate Alternative Minimum Tax (“AMT”). The Tax Act reduces the federal corporate tax rate to 21.0% in the fiscal year ending June 29, 2018. Section 15 of the Internal Revenue Code stipulates that our fiscal year ending June 29, 2018 will have a blended corporate tax rate of 28.1%, which is based on the applicable tax rates before and after the Tax Act and the number of days in the year.
Our effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 28.1%21% primarily due to results of foreign operations that are subject to income taxes at different statutory rates, certain jurisdictions where we cannot recognize tax benefits on current losses, and partial valuation allowance against US federal and state deferred tax benefit from a foreign tax refund and release of valuation allowance.assets. During interim periods, we accrue tax expenses for jurisdictions that are anticipated to be profitable for fiscal 2018.2021.
The determination of our tax benefitincome taxes for the first sixthree months of fiscal 2018ended October 2, 2020 and 2017September 27, 2019 was based on our estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for losses in certain jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized. TheOur tax benefitexpense for the first sixthree months of fiscal 2018ended October 2, 2020 was primarily attributabledue to the foreign tax refunds received from the Inland Revenue Authority of Singapore (“IRAS”) and release of valuation allowance related to the refundable AMT credit as provided under the Tax Act, offset by tax expense related to profitable subsidiaries.

DuringWe continue to record a partial valuation allowance on our U.S. deferred tax assets which primarily represent future income tax benefits associated with our operating losses. Realization of our deferred tax assets is dependent on generating sufficient pre-tax book income in future periods. Although we believe it is more likely than not that future income will be sufficient to allow us to recover the fiscal year 2014,value of a portion of our U.S. deferred tax assets, realization is not assured and future events could cause us to change our judgment. If future events cause us to conclude that it is not more likely than not that we received an assessment letter from IRAS relatedwill be able to deductions claimedrecover more or less of the current anticipated portion of deferred tax assets, we would be required to either decrease or increase the valuation allowance on our deferred tax assets at that time, which would result in prior yearsa charge to income tax expense and made a payment of $13.2 million related to tax years 2007 through 2010, reflecting allmaterial increase or decrease in net income in the taxes incrementally assessed by IRAS.

During the first quarter of fiscal 2017,2021, we received an initial refund of $3.7 million from IRAS. During the first quarter of fiscal 2018, we received an additional refund of $1.3 million from IRAS which represents a final settlement. These refunds were recorded as a discrete tax benefit during the quarter the respective payment was received. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded adid not record any adjustment to valuation allowance releaseon our U.S. deferred tax assets.
We entered into a tax sharing agreement with Harris Corporation (“Harris”) effective on January 26, 2007, the acquisition date of $3.3 million relatedStratex Networks, Inc. (“Stratex”). The tax sharing agreement addresses, among other things, the settlement process associated with pre-merger tax liabilities and tax attributes that were attributable to refundable AMT credit under the Tax Act asMicrowave Communication Division when it was a discrete benefit anddivision of Harris. There have been no settlement payments recorded as a long-term receivable in our Other Assets insince the unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheet. Under the Tax Act, any carryforward AMT tax credits can be refunded if not fully utilized by fiscal year 2022. We expect to receive the refund of this tax benefit starting in our fiscal year 2020.acquisition date.
We have a number of years with open income tax audits covering various tax years, which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Our major tax jurisdictions include the U.S., Singapore, Nigeria and the Ivory Coast. The earliest years that are open and subject to potential audits include the U.S., Singapore, Nigeria, Saudi Arabia and the Ivory Coast. The earliest years for these jurisdictions are as follows: U.S. - 2003; Singapore — 2011;- 2015; Nigeria — 2011,- 2006: Saudi Arabia - 2014, and Ivory Coast — 2016.- 2017.
During the first quarter of 2021, we received a tax refund of $1.2 million from the Federal Revenue of Brazil related to our withholding tax refund claim and recorded minimal tax expense related to interest as a discrete item.
We account for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of our provision for federal, foreign and state income taxes. Such interest expense was not material for the three and six months ended December 29, 2017October 2, 2020 and December 30, 2016.September 27, 2019.
On March 27, 2020, the US enacted the Coronavirus Aid, Relief, and Economic Security (CARES) Act which provided certain tax relief measures including, but not limited to, (1) a five-year net operating loss carryback, (2) changes in the deduction of interest, (3) acceleration of alternative minimum tax credit (AMT) refunds, and (4) a technical correction to allow accelerated deductions for qualified improvement property. The SEC staff issued Staff Accounting Bulletin (“SAB”) No. 118, which provides guidance on accountingTax Cuts and Jobs Act repealed the corporate AMT credit and allowed taxpayers to claim any unused AMT credit over four tax years beginning in tax year 2018. The CARES Act allows for the tax effectsacceleration of the Tax Act. SAB 118 provides a measurement period that should not extend beyond one year from the Tax Act enactment date for companiesrefundable AMT credit up to complete the accounting under ASC 740. In accordance with SAB 118, a company must reflect the income tax effects of those aspects100% of the Tax Act for which the accounting under ASC 740 is complete. To the extent that a company’s accounting for certain income tax effects of the Tax Act is incomplete but it is able to determine a reasonable estimate, it must record a provisional estimate in the financial statements.

During the financial statements, it should continue to apply ASC 740 on the basisthird quarter of the provisions of the tax laws that werefiscal 2020, in effect immediately before the enactment of the Tax Act.
In connection with our initial analysis of the impact of the TaxCARES Act, we have recorded a discrete net tax benefit of $3.3 million inreclassified the period ended December 29, 2017. This net benefit relates to a valuation allowance release of refundable AMT credit. For various reasons that are discussed more fully below, we have not fully completed our accounting for thecredit of $3.4 million from long-term to short-term receivable and recorded no income tax effects on the other tax relief measures of certainthe CARES Act. We continue to examine the elements of the Tax Act. If we were able to make reasonable estimates of the effects of elements for which our analysis is not yet complete, we recorded provisional adjustments.

participating securities outstanding. Our accounting for the following elements of the Tax Act is incomplete. However, we were ablerestricted shares contain rights to make reasonable estimates of certain effectsreceive non-forfeitable dividends and therefore recorded provisional adjustments as follows:
Reduction of U.S. Federal Corporate Tax Rate: The Tax Act reducesare considered to be participating securities and included in the corporate tax rate to 21.0%, effective January 1, 2018. For certain deferred tax assets and deferred tax liabilities, we have recorded a provisional decrease of $53.8 million, respectively, with a corresponding net adjustment to valuation allowance of $53.8 million for the period ended December 29, 2017. While we are able to make a reasonable estimate of the impact of the reduction in corporate rate, it may be affected by other analyses related to the Tax Act, including, but not limited to, our calculation of deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income and the state tax effect of adjustments made to federal temporary differences.
Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax: The Deemed Repatriation Transition Tax (“Transition Tax”) is a tax on previously untaxed accumulated and current earnings and profits (“E&P”) of certain foreign subsidiaries. To determine the amount of the Transition Tax, we must determine, in addition to other factors, the amount of post-1986 E&P of the relevant subsidiaries, as well as the amount of non-U.S. income taxes paid on such earnings. We are able to make a reasonable estimate of the Transition Tax and currently do not believe we will be charged this tax, due to preliminary calculations of net negative E&P for our foreign subsidiaries subjectedincome per basic and diluted common share. Undistributed losses are not allocated to this tax. However, we are continuing to gather additional information to more precisely compute the amount of the Transition Tax.
Our accounting for the following elements of the Tax Act is incomplete, and we were not yet able to make reasonable estimates of the effects. Therefore, no provisional adjustments were recorded.


Global Intangible Low Taxed Income (“GILTI”): The Tax Act creates a new requirement that certain income (i.e., GILTI) earned by controlled foreign corporations (“CFCs”) must be included currently in the gross income of the CFCs’ U.S. shareholder. GILTI is the excess of the shareholder’s “net CFC tested income” over the net deemed tangible income return, which is currently definedunvested restricted shares as the excess of, (1) 10.0% of the aggregate of the U.S. shareholder’s pro-rataunvested restricted shares are not contractually obligated to share our losses. The impact on earnings per share of the qualified business asset investment of each CFC with respect to which it is a U.S. shareholder, (2) the amount of certain interest expense taken into account in the determination of net CFC-tested income.
Because of the complexity of the new GILTI tax rules, we are continuing to evaluate this provision of the Tax Act and the application of ASC 740. Under U.S. GAAP, we are allowed to make an accounting policy choice of either, (1) treating taxes due on future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI as a current-period expense when incurred (the “period cost method”) or, (2) factoring such amounts into a company’s measurement of its deferred taxed (the “deferred method”). Our selection of an accounting policy with respect to the new GILTI tax rules will depend, in part, on analyzing our global income to determine whether we expect to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI and, if so, what the impact is expected to be. Because whether we expect to have future U.S. inclusions in taxable income related to GILTI depends on not only our current structure and estimated future results of global operations but also our intent and ability to modify our structure and/or our business, we are not yet able to reasonably estimate the effect of this provision of the Tax Act. Therefore, we have not made any adjustments related to the potential GILTI tax in our financial statements and have not made a policy decision regarding whether to record deferred taxes on GILTI.
Valuation Allowances: The company must assess whether valuation allowances assessments are affected by various aspects of the Tax Act (e.g., deemed repatriation of deferred foreign income, GILTI inclusions, new categories of FTCs, AMT repeal). During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded a valuation allowance release of $3.3 million related to refundable AMT creditparticipating securities under the Tax Act as a discrete benefit. Undertwo-class method was immaterial.

Purchase Orders and Other Commitments
From time to time in the normal course of business we may enter into purchasing agreements with our suppliers that require us to accept delivery of, and remit full payment for, finished products that we have ordered, finished products that we requested be held as safety stock, and work in process started on our behalf, in the event we cancel or terminate the purchasing agreement. Because these agreements do not specify fixed or minimum quantities, do not specify minimum or variable price provisions, and do not specify the approximate timing of the transaction, and we have no present intention to cancel or terminate any of these agreements, we currently do not believe that we have any future liability under these agreements. As of December 29, 2017, we had outstanding purchase obligations with our suppliers or contract manufacturers of $20.4 million. In addition, we had contractual obligations of approximately $0.7 million associated with software licenses as of December 29, 2017.
Financial Guarantees and Commercial Commitments
Guarantees issued by banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions are contingent commitments issued to guarantee our performance under borrowing arrangements, such as bank overdraft facilities, tax and customs obligations and similar transactions or to ensure our performance under customer or vendor contracts. The terms of the guarantees are generally equal to the remaining term of the related debt or other obligations and are generally limited to two years or less. As of December 29, 2017, we had no guarantees applicable to our debt arrangements.
We have entered into commercial commitments in the normal course of business including surety bonds, standby letters of credit agreements and other arrangements with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services to customers. As of December 29, 2017, we had commercial commitments of $51.9 million outstandingweighted-average equity awards that were not recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. We do not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any significant amounts will be required to be paid on the performance guarantees in the future.


Indemnifications
Under the terms of substantially all of our license agreements, we have agreed to defend and pay any final judgment against our customers arising from claims against such customers that our products infringe the intellectual property rights of a third party. As of December 29, 2017, we have not received any notices that any customer is subject to an infringement claim arisingexcluded from the use of our products; we have not received any requests to defend any customers from infringement claims arising from the use of our products; and we have not paid any final judgment on behalf of any customer related to an infringement claim arising from the use of our products. Because the outcome of infringement disputes is related to the specific facts of each case, and given the lack of previous or current indemnification claims, we cannot estimate the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to our indemnification provisions. As of December 29, 2017, we had not recorded any liabilities related to these indemnifications.diluted net income per share calculations since they were anti-dilutive:

We are subject from time to time to disputes with customers concerning our products and services. In May 2016, we received notification of a claim for $1.0 million in damages from a customer in Austria alleging that certain of our products were defective. We are continuing to investigate this claim, and at this time an estimate of the reasonably possible loss or range of loss cannot be made. We believe that we have numerous contractual and legal defenses to these disputes, and we intend to dispute them vigorously.
From time to time, we may be involved in various other legal claims and litigation that arise in the normal course of our operations. We are aggressively defending all current litigation matters. Although there can be no assurances and the outcome of these matters is currently not determinable, we currently believe that none of these claims or proceedings are likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position. We expect to defend each of these disputes vigorously. There are many uncertainties associated with any litigations and these actions or other third-party claims against us may cause us to incur costly litigation and/or substantial settlement charges. As a result, our business, financial condition, results of operations, and cash flows could be adversely affected. The actual liability in any such matters may be materially different from our estimates, if any.
We record accruals for our outstanding legal proceedings, investigations or claims when it is probable that a liability will be incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. We evaluate, at least on a quarterly basis, developments in legal proceedings, investigations or claims that could affect the amount of any accrual, as well as any developments that would result in a loss contingency to become both probable and reasonably estimable. We have not recorded any accrual for loss contingencies associated with such legal claims or litigation discussed above.
Contingent Liabilities
We record a loss contingency as a charge to operations when (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements; and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure in the notes to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements is required for loss contingencies that do not meet both those conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. Gain contingencies are not recorded until realized. We expense all legal costs incurred to resolve regulatory, legal and tax matters as incurred.
Periodically, we review the status of each significant matter to assess the potential financial exposure. If a potential loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we reflect the estimated loss in our results of operations. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred or an asset impaired and whether such loss is reasonably estimable. Further, estimates of this nature are highly subjective, and the final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from the amounts that have been included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to our pending claims and litigation and may revise estimates accordingly. Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

In May 2016, we received notification of a claim for damages from a customer alleging that certain of our products were defective. Although we believe that we have numerous contractual and legal defenses to these disputes, at this time we have accrued an immaterial amount representing the estimated probable loss for which we would settle the matter. We currently cannot form an estimate of the range of loss in excess of our amounts already accrued. If the outcome of this matter is greater than the current immaterial amount accrued, we intend to dispute it vigorously.

In March 2016, an enforcement action by the Indian Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance was brought against our subsidiary Aviat Networks (India) Private Limited (“Aviat India”) relating to the non-realization of intercompany receivables and non-payment of intercompany payables, which originated from 1999 to 2012, within the time frames dictated by the Indian regulations under the Foreign Exchange Management Act ("FEMA"). In November 2017, the Indian Department of Revenue, Ministry of Finance also initiated a similar action against Telsima Communications Private Limited (“Telsima India”), a subsidiary of the Company, relating to the non-realization of intercompany receivables and non-payment of intercompany payables which originated from the period prior to our acquisition of Telsima India in February 2009.  In September 2019, our directors of Aviat India appeared before the Ministry of Finance Enforcement Directorate.  No settlement offers were discussed at the meeting and the matter is still ongoing with no subsequent hearing date currently scheduled.  We have accrued an immaterial amount representing the estimated probable loss for which we would settle the matter.  We currently cannot form an estimate of the range of loss in excess of our amounts already accrued. If the outcome of this matter is greater than the current immaterial amount accrued, we intend to dispute it vigorously.
Periodically, we review the status of each significant matter to assess the potential financial exposure. If a potential loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we reflect the estimated loss in our unaudited condensed consolidated statement of operations. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred or an asset impaired and whether such loss is reasonably estimable. Further, estimates of this nature are highly subjective, and the final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from the amounts that have been included in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to our pending claims and litigation and may revise estimates accordingly. Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.
COVID-19
In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized a recent pandemic of respiratory illness caused by novel coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19, as a pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to try to contain the virus, such as travel bans and restrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place or stay-at-home orders, and business shutdowns. Our global operations expose us to risks associated with public health crises and epidemics/pandemics, such as the COVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic may have an impact on our operations, supply chains and distribution systems and increase our expenses, including as a result of impacts associated with preventive and precautionary measures that we, other businesses and governments are taking or requiring. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, prospects and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating activities can resume. Management is actively monitoring the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce.
Our first priority remains the health and safety of our employees and their families. Employees whose tasks can be done off-site have been instructed to work from home. Our manufacturing sites support essential businesses and remain operational. We are maintaining social distancing for workers on-site and have enhanced cleaning protocols and usage of personal protective equipment, where appropriate.
The impact to our supply chain lead times and ability to fulfill orders was minimal for the three months ended October 2, 2020. However, depending on pandemic-related factors like the uncertain duration of temporary manufacturing restrictions as well as our ability to perform field services during shelter in place orders, we could experience constraints and delays in fulfilling customer orders in future periods. We continue to monitor, assess and adapt to the situation and prepare for implications to our business, supply chain and customer demand. We expect these challenges to continue until business and economic activities return to more normal levels. The financial results for the three months ended October 2, 2020 reflect some of the reduced activity experienced during the period in various locations around the world and are not necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.

Overview of Business; Operating Environment and Key Factors Impacting Fiscal 20182021 and 20172020 Results
The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”)(MD&A) is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. In the discussion herein, our fiscal year ending June 29, 2018July 2, 2021 is referred to as “fiscal 2018”2021” or “2018”“2021” and our fiscal year ended June 30, 2017July 3, 2020 is referred to as “fiscal 2017”2020” or “2017”.“2020.”
Overview
We design, manufactureanticipate modest growth in revenue in fiscal 2021. We have a healthy backlog entering fiscal 2021 for North American private network projects and sellwe anticipate continuing our strong momentum across these verticals. We have made inroads into the U.S. rural broadband and wireless internet service provider areas and there is now further evidence now of investment to support 5G deployments with our U.S. service provider customers. Internationally, we are continuing a rangemore conservative view of wireless networking products, solutionsour revenue opportunity based on a variety of factors that have led to an overall capital spending decline and servicesincreased competitive intensity.
In March 2020, the World Health Organization characterized the current respiratory illness caused by novel coronavirus disease, known as COVID-19, as a pandemic. The pandemic has resulted in government authorities implementing numerous measures to mobiletry to contain the virus, such as travel bans and fixedrestrictions, quarantines, shelter-in-place or stay-at-home orders, and business shutdowns. Our global operations expose us to risks associated with public network operators, federal, statehealth crises and local government agencies, transportation, energy and utility companies, public safety agencies and broadcast network operations around the world. Our products utilize microwave and millimeter wave technologies to create point to point wireless links for short, medium and long distance interconnections. Our wireless systems deliver urban, suburban, regional and country-wide communication linksepidemics/pandemics, such as the primary alternative to fiber optic connections. In dense urbanCOVID-19 pandemic. The COVID-19 pandemic has had and suburban areas, short range wireless solutions are faster to deploy and lower cost per mile than new fiber deployments. In developing nations, fiber infrastructure is scarce and wireless systems are used for both long and short distance connections. Wireless systems are easier to implement than optical fiber in areas with rugged terrain, and are able to provide connections over bodies of water, such as between islands or between oil and gas production platforms. We also provide network management software solutions to enable operators to deploy, monitor and manage our systems, third party equipment such as antennas, routers, optical transmission equipment and other equipment necessary to build and deploy a complete telecommunications transmission network. We provide a full suite of professional services for planning, deployment, operations and maintenance of our customers’ networks.
We work continuously to improve our established brands and to create new products that meet our customers’ evolving needs and preferences. Our fundamental business goal is to generate superior returns for our stockholders over the long term. We believe that increases in revenue, operating profits and earnings per share are the key measures of financial performance for our business. However, within the industry there continues to be strong price competition for new business and periodic large customer consolidations that intensify competition in all regions.
Our strategic focus islikely to continue to accelerate innovationhave an impact on our operations, supply chains and optimizedistribution systems. COVID-19 pandemic has led to an increase in our product portfolio, improve costsexpenses, including as a result of impacts associated with preventive and precautionary measures that we, other businesses and governments are taking or requiring. The extent to which the COVID-19 pandemic impacts our business, prospects and results of operations will depend on future developments, which are highly uncertain and cannot be predicted with certainty, including, but not limited to, the duration and spread of the pandemic, its severity, the actions to contain the virus or treat its impact, and how quickly and to what extent normal economic and operating activities can resume. Management is actively
24


monitoring the impact of COVID-19 pandemic on our financial condition, liquidity, operations, suppliers, industry, and workforce.
Our first priority remains the health and safety of our employees and their families. Employees whose tasks can be done offsite have been instructed to work from home. Our manufacturing sites remain operational, efficiencies, grow our revenue and create a sustainable, profitable business model. To do this, we continue to examine our products, markets, facilities, development programs, and operational flows to ensure we are focusedmaintaining social distancing and have enhanced cleaning protocols and usage of personal protective equipment, where appropriate.
The impact to our supply chain lead times and ability to fulfill orders was minimal for the three months ended October 2, 2020. However, depending on whatpandemic-related factors like the uncertain duration of temporary manufacturing restrictions as well as our ability to perform field services during shelter in place orders, we do wellcould experience constraints and what will differentiate usdelays in the future. We will continue working to streamline management processes to attain the efficiency levels required by the markets in which we do business.
Although the general trend of increasing demand for bandwidth to support mobile networks applies in all markets and creates demand for our solutions, we expect to see quarter-to-quarter fluctuations within markets and with individual customers based on customers’ past purchasing patterns. Seasonality is also a factor that impacts our business. Our fiscal third quarter revenue and orders have historically been lower than the revenue andfulfilling customer orders in our second fiscal quarter because many of our customers utilize a significant portion of their capital budgets at the end of their fiscal years, which is typically the calendar year endfuture periods. We are monitoring, assessing and coincides with our second fiscal quarter. The majority of our customers begin a new fiscal year on January 1, and capital expenditures tend to be lower in an organization’s first quarter than in its fourth quarter. We anticipate that this seasonality will continue. The seasonality between the second quarter and third quarter may be affected by a variety of additional factors, including changes in the global economy.
In line with industry trends, we expect to provide increased managed services, including network design, inventory management, final configuration and warehousing services, to certain customers in certain geographies. Our operating results may be impacted by providing these servicesadapting to the extent that we may needsituation and preparing for implications to postponeour business, supply chain and customer demand. We expect these challenges to continue until business and economic activities return to more normal levels. The financial results for the recognitionthree months ended October 2, 2020 reflect some of revenuethe reduced activity experienced during the period in various locations around the world and incur upfront and ongoing expenses that are not offset with additional revenue from product sales associated with these services until a future period.necessarily indicative of the results for the full year.
We continue to explore strategic alternatives to improve the market position and profitability of our product offerings in the marketplace, generate additional liquidity and enhance our valuation. We may pursue our goals during the next twelve months through organic growth and through strategic alternatives. Some of these alternatives have included, and could continue to include, selective acquisitions of business segments or entire businesses, divestitures, the sale of assets or securities, a sale or merger of our company or a restructuring of our company. We have also provided, and may from time to time in the future provide, information to interested parties.



Operations Review
The market for mobile backhaul continuescontinued to be our primary addressable market segment and, overglobally in the long term, the demand for increasing the backhaul capacity in our customers’ networks continues to grow.first quarter of fiscal 2021. In North America, we supported long-term evolution (“LTE”) deployments of our mobile operator customers, public safety network deployments for state and local governments, and private network implementations for utilities and other customers. In international markets, our business continued to rely on a combination of customers increasing their capacity to handle subscriber growth, the ongoing build-out of some large 3G deployments, and the emergence of early stage LTE deployments. Our international business continues to be adversely affected by constrained availability of U.S. dollars in countries with economies highly dependent on resource exports, particularly oil. This condition, along with decline in local purchasing power because of currency devaluations relative to the U.S. dollar, limits capital spending and slows payments from customers in those locations. Our position continues to be to support our customers for 5G and LTE readiness and ensure that our technology roadmap is well aligned with evolving market requirements. We continue to find that our strength in turnkey and after-sale support services is a differentiating factor that wins business for us and enables us to expand our business with existing customers in all markets. However, as disclosed above and in the “Risk Factors” section in Item 1A of our fiscal 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K filed with the SEC on August 27, 2020, a number of factors could prevent us from achieving our objectives, including ongoing pricing pressures attributable to competition and macroeconomic conditions in the geographic markets that we service.

We estimate our annual effective tax rate at the end of each quarterly period, and we record the tax effect of certain discrete items in the interim period in which they occur, including changes in judgment about uncertain tax positions and deferred tax valuation allowances.
The tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2021 was primarily due to tax expense related to profitable subsidiaries. The tax expense for the first quarter of fiscal 2020 was primarily due to tax expense related to profitable subsidiaries and a $0.6 million increase in our reserves for uncertain tax positions.

Both tax refunds were recordedinterest as a discrete tax benefit during the quarter the respective payment was received. During the second quarter of fiscal 2018, we recorded a valuation allowance release of $3.3 million related to refundable AMT credit under the Tax Act as a discrete benefit. We expect to receive the refund of this tax benefit starting in our fiscal year 2020. The determination of the effective tax rate reflects tax expense and benefit generated in certain jurisdictions.

Cash provided by operating activities is presented as net income adjusted for non-cash items and changes in operating assets and liabilities. Net contribution of non-cash items to cash provided by operating activities decreasedwas $4.2 million for the first three months of fiscal 2021, compared to $5.6 million for the first three months of fiscal 2020; this difference was primarily related to a net change in Accounts receivable and partially offset by $3.8the net change in Net income. Net cash provided by noncash items was $2.8 million andfor the first three months 2021, compared to $2.3 million for the comparable period in Fiscal 2020.

Financing Activities
Financing cash flows consist primarily of proceeds and repayments of short-term debt, repurchase of stock and proceeds from sale of share of common stock through employee equity plans. Net cash used in financing activities was $8.7 million for the first three months of fiscal 2021, primarily due to support customer managed services.$9.0 million repayment of short-term debt.
As of December 29, 2017,October 2, 2020, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of the $40.6$36.2 million in cash and cash equivalents and short-term investments, $11.7equivalents; $23.5 million of available credit under our $30.0$25.0 million credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB Credit FacilityFacility”) which expiresmatures on June 30, 201828, 2021, and future collections of receivables from customers. We regularly require letters of credit from somecertain customers, and, from time to time, these letters of credit are discounted without recourse shortly after shipment occurs in order to meet immediate liquidity requirements and to reduce our credit and sovereign risk. Historically, our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations and credit facilities.
We believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, the available line of credit under the SVB Credit Facility and future cash collections from customers will be sufficient to provide for our anticipated requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for at least the next 12 months. OurOn May 4, 2020, we entered into Amendment No. 3 to Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement which extended the maturity date of the SVB Credit Facility expires onto June 30, 2018.28, 2021. While we intend to continue to renew the SVB Credit Facility and expect the SVB Credit Facility to be renewed,annually, there can be no assurance that the SVB Credit Facility will be renewed. In addition, there can be no assurance that our business will generate cash flow from operations, that we will be in compliance with the quarterly financial covenants contained in the SVB Credit Facility, or that we will have a sufficient borrowing base under such facility, or that anticipated operational improvements will be achieved.facility. If we are not in compliance with the financial covenants or do not have sufficient eligible accounts receivable to support our borrowing base, borrowings under the availability ofSVB Credit Facility may not be available or our credit facility is not certain orborrowing base may be diminished. Over the longer term, if we are unable to maintain cash balances or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our obligations that may arise in the future, we may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, or obtain financing. If we need to obtain additional financing, we cannot be assured

that it will be available on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to make scheduled principal payments or pay interest on or refinance any future indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the microwave communications market and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our control.
As of October 2, 2020, we were in compliance with the quarterly financial covenants, as amended, contained in the SVB Credit Facility. We repaid the outstanding balance of $9.0 million during the first three months of fiscal 2021; therefore, there was no amount outstanding as of October 2, 2020.
In addition, we have an uncommitted short-term line of credit of $0.3 million from a bank in New Zealand to support the operations of our subsidiary located there. This line of credit provides for $0.2 million in short-term advances at various interest rates, all of which was available as of October 2, 2020 and July 3, 2020. The line of credit also provides for the issuance of standby letters of credit and company credit cards, of which $0.1 million was outstanding as of October 2, 2020 and July 3, 2020. This facility may be terminated upon notice, is reviewed annually for renewal or modification, and is supported by a corporate guarantee.
Restructuring Payments
We had liabilities for restructuring activities totaling $0.6$1.8 million as of December 29, 2017, $0.3 million ofOctober 2, 2020, which was classified as current liabilities and expected to be paid out in cash over the next 12 months. We expect to fund these future payments with available cash and cash provided by operations.

a retained or contingent interest in assets transferred to an unconsolidated entity or similar entity or similar arrangement that serves as credit, liquidity or market risk support to that entity for such assets;
any obligation, including a contingent obligation, under certain derivative instruments; and
any obligation, including a contingent obligation, arising out of a material variable interest held by us in an unconsolidated entity that provides financing, liquidity, market risk or credit risk support to us, or engages in leasing, hedging or research and development services with us.
Currently we are not participating in transactions that generate relationships with unconsolidated entities or financial partnerships, including variable interest entities, and we do not have any material retained or contingent interest in assets as defined above. As of December 29, 2017,October 2, 2020, we did not have material financial guarantees or other contractual commitments that are reasonably likely to adversely affect liquidity. In addition, we are not currently a party to any related party transactions that materially affect our results of operations, cash flows or financial condition.
As of October 2, 2020, we had commercial commitments of $51.9 million outstanding that were not recorded in our unaudited condensed consolidated balance sheets. This is an increase of $17.1 million from the amount disclosed in our fiscal 2017 Annual Report on Form 10-K. $58.7 million.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.
In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. We employ established policies and procedures governing the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.
Exchange Rate Risk
We conduct business globally in numerous currencies and are therefore exposed to foreign currency risks. We use derivative instruments to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes or make speculative investments in foreign currencies.
We use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge forecasted foreign currency transactions relating to forecasted sales and purchase transactions. Beginning the fourth quarter of fiscal 2015, we no longer prepared contemporaneous documentation of hedges for the new foreign exchange forward contracts we entered into. As a result, the foreign exchange hedges no longer qualified as cash flow hedges. The changes in fair value related to the hedges were recorded in income or expenses line items on our statements of operations.
We also enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the change in fair value of specific non-functional currency assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. All balance sheet hedges are marked to market through earnings every period. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are largely offset by re-measurement of the underlying assets and liabilities.
As of December 29, 2017, we had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a total notional amount of $4.7 million consisting of two currencies as follows:

Total foreign exchange loss, net$(243) $(62) $(235) $(488)
A 10% adverse change in currency exchange rates for our foreign currency derivatives held as of December 29, 2017 would have an impact of approximately $0.4 million on the fair value of such instruments.
Certain of our international business are transacted in non-U.S. dollar currency. As discussed above, we utilize foreign currency hedging instruments to minimize the currency risk of international transactions. The impact of translating the assets and liabilities of foreign operations to U.S. dollars for the first six months of fiscal 2018 was $0.6 million and was included as a component of stockholders’ equity. As of December 29, 2017 and June 30, 2017, the cumulative translation adjustment decreased our equity by $11.2 million and $11.8 million, respectively.


Interest Rate Risk
Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash equivalents and borrowings under our credit facility.
Exposure on Cash Equivalents and Short-term Investments
We had $42.8 million in total cash, cash equivalents and short-term investments as of December 29, 2017. Cash equivalents and short-term investments totaled $22.7 million as of December 29, 2017 and were comprised of money market funds and bank certificates of deposit. Cash equivalents and short-term investments have been recorded at fair value on our balance sheet.
Our cash equivalents and short-term investments earn interest at fixed rates; therefore, changes in interest rates will not generate a gain or loss on these investments unless they are sold prior to maturity. Actual gains and losses due to the sale of our investments prior to maturity have been immaterial. The weighted average days to maturity for cash equivalents and short-term investments held as of December 29, 2017 was 156 days, and these investments had an average yield of 7.18% per annum. A 10% change in interest rates on our cash equivalents and short-term investments is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Exposure on Borrowings
During the first six months of fiscal 2018, we had $9.0 million of borrowings outstanding under the SVB Credit Facility that incurred interest at the prime rate plus a spread of 0.50% to 1.50% with such spread determined based on our adjusted quick ratio. During the first six months of fiscal 2018, our weighted average interest rate was 4.79% and the interest expense on these borrowings was insignificant.
A 10% change in interest rates on the current borrowings or on future borrowings is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows since interest on our borrowings is not material to our overall financial position.

Changes in Internal Controls Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes to our internal control over financial reporting as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) or 15d-15(f) that occurred during our first sixthree months of fiscal 2018 that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect,2021 and 2020 was $(0.4) million and $0.5 million, respectively, and was included as a component of stockholders’ equity.

Exposure on Cash Equivalents
We had $36.2 million in total cash and cash equivalents as of October 2, 2020. Cash equivalents totaled $21.5 million as of October 2, 2020 and were comprised of money market funds and bank certificates of deposit. Cash equivalents investments have been recorded at fair value on our balance sheet.

During the first three months of fiscal 2021, our internal control over financial reporting will prevent or detect all errors and all fraud. A control system, no matter how well-designed and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. The design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints,weighted-average interest rate was 3.75%, and the benefitsinterest expense on these borrowings was insignificant.
A 10% change in interest rates on the current borrowings or on future borrowings is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of controls must be considered relativeoperations, or cash flows since interest on our borrowings is not material to their costs. Further, because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that misstatements due to error or fraud will not occur or that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, have been detected. The design of any system of controls is based in part on certain assumptions about the likelihood of future events, and there can be no assurance that any design will succeed in achieving its stated goals under all potential future conditions. Projections of any evaluation of the effectiveness of controls to future periods are subject to risks.our overall financial position.



Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on management’s evaluation, with participation of our President and Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”), and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as of the end of the period covered by this report, our CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, as of October 2, 2020, are effective to provide reasonable assurance that the information required to be disclosed in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized, and reported within the time periods specified in the Securities and Exchange Commission rules and forms, and is accumulated and communicated to management, including our CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures.

Inherent Limitations on Effectiveness of Controls
