Our customer base also includes telephone companies and broadcasters who purchase various products and services.
See Note 23 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K for financial information relating to each of our business segments for fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005.
Industry Overview
Over the past decade, United States cable operators have spent billions of dollars to upgrade their networks to deliver digital video and two-way services such as high speed data, video on demand, and telephony. As global cable operators maximize their investment in their networks, we believe that our business will be driven by the following industry dynamics and trends:
Competition Between Cable Operators and Telephone Companies is Increasing. Telephone companies are aggressively offering high-speed data services and are making progress in offering video services to the residential market. AT&T Inc. and Verizon Communications have publicly stated that they will spend billions of dollars to equip their networks to offer video service, once a service offered only by cable and satellite providers. Likewise, telephone companies have been increasingly competitive on pricing for higher speed data services, again to compete with the cable companies. In addition, cable companies are launching Internet Protocol-based telephone service. Independent communications providers of multiple services are challenging both cable and telephone companies by using their infrastructures to offer those services at lower prices.
Improved Conditions for Many Large Cable Operators. During the past five years, the global communications industry experienced a downturn as a result of an economic recession and financial difficulties, including financial restructurings of large cable operators such as Adelphia Communications, Virgin Media, Inc. and Liberty Global/UPC. In July 2006, Time Warner Cable and Comcast Corporation acquired substantially all of the assets of Adelphia Communications which historically, was one of our largest customers. Although restructurings and consolidation continue, we believe the financial condition of many of our cable operator customers has stabilized or improved and that they are now positioned to invest capital in their networks, particularly for solutions that support deployment of advanced services and reduce operating expenses.
Personalized Programming is Becoming More Readily Available and Across Multiple Platforms. Increased demand for bandwidth capacity of cable systems is developing as content providers (Google, Yahoo, YouTube, ABC, CBS, NBC, movie and music studios, and gaming vendors) are offering personalized content across multiple venues. For example, broadcast network shows and user-generated (UG) content, such as video downloads, personalized web pages, and video and photo sharing, have become commonplace on the Internet. Likewise, certain cable operators are experimenting with offering more content through the use of network
3

personal video recorders (nPVRs) which, once copyright issues are resolved, will add more traffic to the networks. Another bandwidth intensive service being offered by a major cable operator allows cable video subscribers to re-start programs on demand if they miss the beginning of a television show (time-shifted television).
Growth in Enhanced Broadband Services Requires Continued Upgrades by Domestic and International Cable Operators. Cable operators are offering enhanced broadband services, including high definition television, digital video, interactive and on demand video services, high speed Internet and voice over Internet Protocol. As these enhanced broadband services continue to attract new subscribers, we expect that cable operators will be required to invest in their networks to expand network capacity and support increased customer demand for personalized services. In the access portion, or “last-mile,” of the network, operators will need to upgrade headends, hubs, nodes, and radio frequency distribution equipment. While many domestic cable operators have substantially completed initial network upgrades necessary to provide enhanced broadband services, they will need to take a scalable approach to continue upgrades as new services are deployed. In addition, many international cable operators have not yet completed the initial upgrades necessary to offer such enhanced broadband services.
Growing Demand for Bundled Services—Video, Voice, and Data. In response to increased competition from telecommunication service providers and direct broadcast satellite operators, cable operators have not only upgraded their networks to cost effectively support and deliver enhanced video, voice, and data, but continue to invest significantly to offer a “triple play” bundle of these services. The ability to cost effectively deliver personalized, bundled services helps cable operators reduce subscriber turnover and increase revenue per subscriber. As a result, the focus on such services is driving cable operators to continue to invest in network infrastructure, content management, digital advertising insertion, and back office automation tools.
Cable Operators are Demanding Advanced Network Technologies and Software Solutions. The increase in volume and complexity of the signals transmitted over broadband networks as a result of the migration to an all digital, on demand network (Federal mandate for completion by February 2009) is causing cable operators to deploy new technologies. For example, transport technologies based on Internet Protocol allow cable operators to more cost effectively deliver video, voice, and data across a common network infrastructure. Cable operators are also demanding sophisticated network and service management software applications that minimize operating expenditures needed to support the complexity of two-way broadband communications systems. As a result, cable operators are focusing on technologies and products that are flexible, cost effective, compliant with open industry standards, and scalable to meet subscriber growth and effectively deliver reliable, enhanced services.
Digital Video Recorders are Impacting Advertising Business. As the use of digital video recorders and other recording devices becomes more prevalent, advertisers face the need to develop new business models. Since personal recorders allow the viewer to skip over ads, network operators are looking for new ways to attract advertising dollars and deliver a meaningful ad experience to viewers. As a result, many network operators are implementing digital ad insertion, allowing them to transition from all analog to a mix of analog and digital and ultimately to all digital. One benefit is the ability to reallocate bandwidth. More importantly, digital advertising allows network operators to create a more dynamic and interactive experience between advertiser and viewer. Telephone companies are also planning for this transition.
Cable Operators are Developing Strategies to Offer Business Services. Cable operators are leveraging their investment in existing fiber and coax networks by expanding beyond traditional residential customers to offer voice, video, and data services to commercial (small and medium size businesses), education, healthcare, and government clients. Using their experience in delivering data, cable operators can bundle both voice and data for commercial subscribers and effectively compete with the telephone companies who have typically focused on large enterprises. Business services are just one of several market segments where cable and telephone companies are trying to penetrate each others’ markets.

Broadband Systems Solutions
Products
The traditional hybrid fiber coax network connects a local central content source, typically referred to as the headend, to individual residential or business users through a physical plant of fiber optic and coaxial cables and a variety of electrical and optical devices that modulate, transmit, receive, and amplify the radio frequency and optical signals as they move over the network. The local hybrid fiber coax network consists of three major components: the headend and hubs, nodes, and the radio frequency plant. C-COR offers product lines for all three components in a variety of bandwidths, up to and including one Gigahertz capability, as well as coarse wave division multiplexing (CWDM), which allows multiple wavelengths over a single fiber for increased network capacity.
Headend and Hubs
The headend receives information from a satellite transmission, Internet gateway, telephony network, or other source and converts this information to laser modulated optical signals for transmission across the local network. Larger networks feature both primary headends and a series of secondary headends or hubs. C-COR offers a broad range of headend and hub equipment that combines these components onto one fully managed, scalable platform. The compact design of our headend products lowers the capital costs of delivering more bandwidth per subscriber while enabling network operators to increase their network capacity for advanced services, such as video on demand, high definition television, high speed Internet, and voice over Internet Protocol. In fiscal year 2007, C-COR introduced an energy efficient, one gigahertz edgeQAM, a network device that integrates with our on demand and switched digital video software application to offer network capacity efficiencies and increased choice of content to consumers.
Nodes
The general function of the node in the local hybrid fiber coax network is to convert information from optical signals to radio frequency signals for distribution to the home or business. C-COR’s node series offers the performance and cost efficiency required to meet the demands of the most advanced network architectures. Our nodes utilize space and cost-saving scalable technology that allows network operators to have a “pay-as-they-grow” approach in deploying their infrastructure, minimizing capital expenditures while maximizing network service availability and performance. During fiscal year 2007, C-COR introduced a new, scalable one Gigahertz fiber optic node used to segment networks to serve fewer homes per node and increase network capacity. This node can be purchased as a complete product or it can be installed as an upgrade to existing C-COR trunk and bridger amplifiers.
Radio Frequency Products
The radio frequency products transmit information between the optical nodes and subscribers. These products are radio frequency amplifiers which come in various configurations such as trunks, bridgers, and line extenders. A trunk amplifier handles a large amount of information in a network when the node serving area is greater than 500 homes. A bridger splits the signal to send it to a greater number of destinations. Line extenders move the signal to the home or business. Representing one of the largest installed bases in the industry, our amplifier series uses drop-in replacement modules to allow cost-saving upgrades and complements optical nodes to provide a wide array of options for distribution to end-of-line.

Our Broadband Systems Solutions backlog was comprised of $27.7 million for products and $46.6 million for content and operations management systems, of which approximately $36.2 million was expected to be recognized as revenue over the next 12 months.
Anticipated orders from customers may fail to materialize and delivery schedules may be deferred or canceled for a number of reasons, including reductions in capital spending by network operators, customer financial difficulties, annual capital spending budget cycles, and construction delays.
Research and Product Development
We operate in an industry that is subject to rapid changes in technology. Our ability to compete successfully depends in large part upon anticipating such changes. Accordingly, we engage in ongoing research and development activities in response to our customers’ needs with the intention to advance existing product lines and/or develop new offerings. Our current research and product development focus is on passive and active optical equipment, network architectures, and software solutions for content management, including on demand video and advertising insertion, and for associated back office operations management applications, such as assurance of service and network quality and automation for customers’ installation and support workforce. C-COR uses a concurrent product development program to enhance its capability to produce new products to meet the needs of the market within an optimal time frame. The program addresses a number of key business activities, including portfolio management, innovation, product selection, product definition, electronic design and testing, selection of new product components, prototyping and piloting, and the ability to rapidly commercialize a new product.
During the past fiscal year, research and product development expenditures were primarily directed at developing new platforms for next-generation broadband architectures and applications and expanding the
10
Table of Contents
capabilities of our integrated, interoperable software applications. We also continued with product development process improvements to reduce cycle time to design, reduce manufacturing costs, and improve design quality.
During fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005, we spent $32.5 million, $38.2 million, and $37.8 million, respectively, on research and product development in our Broadband Systems Solutions segment. All research and product development expenditures have been expensed.
Competition
The broadband communications markets are dynamic and highly competitive, requiring substantial resources of those companies that compete in these markets, skilled and experienced personnel, and a capability to anticipate and capitalize on change. Our products compete with other companies, including Motorola’s Home & Networks Mobility, Scientific Atlanta, Inc., a Cisco company, and Harmonic, Inc., some of which are large publicly traded companies that may have greater financial, technical, and marketing resources than we do.
Our products are marketed with emphasis on quality, advanced technology, differentiating features, flexibility, and business solutions, and are generally priced competitively with other manufacturers’ product lines. Product reliability and performance, technological innovation, responsive customer service, breadth of product offering, and pricing are several of the key criteria for competition.
Our content and operations management systems compete with several vendors offering on demand video and digital advertising insertion hardware and software, including SeaChange International Inc. and Concurrent, as well as vendors offering network management, mobile workforce management, network configuration management, and network capacity management systems in the United States, some of which may currently have greater sales in these areas than we do. However, we believe that we offer a more integrated solution that gives us a competitive advantage in supporting the requirements of both today’s hybrid fiber coax networks and the emerging all-digital, packet-based networks. We believe our acquisitions and integration of on demand and operations management capabilities in recent years solidify C-COR’s position as a provider of comprehensive solutions for broadband network operators.
Our Network Services segment competes in the United States with several vendors that offer similar services to those provided by C-COR. We compete on the basis of quality and scope of service and offerings, ability to meet work schedules, and price by offering network integration professional services and design services to our customers.
Employees
We had 1,260 employees as of September 3, 2007. C-COR has no employees represented by unions within the United States.
Suppliers
We closely monitor supplier delivery performance and quality. We employ a strategy of limiting the total number of global suppliers to those who are quality leaders in their respective specialties and who will work with us as partners in the supply chain. Typical items purchased are fiber optic lasers, photo receivers, radio frequency hybrids, printed circuit boards, die cast aluminum housings, and standard electronic components. Although some of the components we use are single sourced, they are typically not sole sourced. We have experienced no significant difficulties during the past fiscal year in obtaining adequate quantities of raw materials and component parts.
We outsource the manufacture and repair of certain assemblies and modules where it is cost effective to do so or where there are advantages with respect to delivery times. Current outsourcing arrangements include
11
Table of Contents
European versions of amplifiers, certain power supplies, accessories, optical modules, digital return modules, circuit boards, repair services, and small-lot manufacturing.
Intellectual Property
Our success and our ability to compete are dependent, in part, upon our intellectual property rights. We hold sixty-one (61) United States patents and have fifty-nine (59) patent applications pending in the United States Patent and Trademark Office. In addition, we hold an exclusive license, for use in our field, of numerous patents relating to fiber optic and radio frequency transmission equipment and technology, and network management techniques and services. We attempt to protect our intellectual property through patents, trademarks, copyrights, and a program of maintaining certain technology as trade secrets. We have been involved in intellectual property litigation, and we may be a party to litigation in the future to enforce our intellectual property rights or as a result of an allegation that we infringe upon others’ intellectual property.

Item 1A. | Risk Factors |
OUR BUSINESS AND FINANCIAL RESULTS ARE DEPENDENT ON THE LEVEL OF CAPITAL SPENDING BY CABLE NETWORK OPERATORS.
Historically, most of our sales have been for products, content and operations management systems, and services to cable network operators in the United States and internationally. We expect this to continue for the foreseeable future. Demand for our offerings depends significantly upon the size and timing of capital spending by cable network operators for building, upgrading, and maintaining network infrastructures and for automated solutions for managing complex services delivered over their networks. We cannot accurately predict the patterns of cable network operators’ spending, but we believe that these patterns will continue to be affected in the near term by a variety of factors, including:
• | the need to respond to the competitive threat posed by telephone companies and satellite broadcasters; |
• | ongoing assessment by cable operators of capital spending requirements with the objective of balancing subscriber demand for advanced services with the financial market expectation of solid financial results and, in particular, an emphasis on generating positive cash flow and increasing revenue generated per subscriber; |
• | the transition of most major domestic operations from large-scale network upgrades to more targeted capital investment tied to the roll-out of advanced services over small network segments; and |
• | timing of spending based on economic conditions in the international markets for network upgrades to support two-way capability for advanced video, voice, and data services. |
A decline in capital spending, which has historically been cyclical, would adversely affect our business and results of operations.
WE ARE DEPENDENT ON A SMALL NUMBER OF CUSTOMERS IN A SINGLE INDUSTRY.
Most of our sales have been to relatively few customers. Sales from continuing operations to our ten largest customers accounted for approximately 69% of net sales in fiscal year 2007, 55% of net sales in fiscal year 2006, and 53% of net sales in fiscal year 2005. The loss of, or any reduction in orders from, a significant customer would harm our business.
In recent years, there has been significant consolidation of ownership of cable systems, particularly in the United States. As a result, we expect that the concentration of our sales among a limited number of customers will continue. Almost all of our sales are made on a purchase order basis (some of which may be governed by master agreements) and none of our customers have entered into long-term agreements requiring them to purchase our products. We expect that any further consolidation of our customer base may result in delays in receiving new orders or a reduction in the size of orders for our products which may harm our business.
WE COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF NEW TECHNOLOGIES REPLACE THE BROADBAND PRODUCTS THAT WE OFFER.
Historically, sales of products for hybrid fiber coax networks have represented the majority of our sales. Hybrid fiber coax networks can be used for high speed Internet access, telephony, video on demand, high definition television, and digital cable television. Demand for our products depends primarily on our customers’ desire and ability to upgrade their existing networks to offer these services, in addition to basic video service. There are, however, technologies that compete with hybrid fiber coax networks in providing high speed Internet access, telephony, video on demand, high definition television, and digital cable television to end users such as direct broadcast satellite, digital subscriber line, and local multipoint distribution services. Improvements in a competing technology could result in significant price and/or performance advantages for that technology which, in turn, could reduce demand for our offerings.
13
Table of Contents
It is difficult for us to accurately predict the future growth rate, size, and technological direction of the broadband communications market. As this market evolves, it is possible that hybrid fiber coax network operators, telephone companies, or other suppliers of broadband wireless and satellite services will decide to adopt alternative technologies or standards that are incompatible with our products. If we are unable to design, manufacture, and market offerings that incorporate or are compatible with these new technologies or standards, our business would suffer.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO INCREASE OUR CONTENT AND OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS REVENUE TO GENERATE ADEQUATE PROFITABILITY, OUR FINANCIAL RESULTS WOULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED.
Our ability to increase the revenue generated by our content and operations management systems depends on many factors that are beyond our control. For example:
• | our customers may decide to continue to manage their networks by focusing on limited, individual elements of the network rather than managing their entire network integrity and service delivery processes using a suite of software application modules such as those we offer; |
• | failure of software products; |
• | new and better products developed by competitors; |
• | claims of intellectual property infringement; |
• | our customers may decide to use internally developed software tools to manage their networks rather than license software from us; |
• | the software business is volatile and we may not be able to effectively utilize our resources and meet the needs of our customers if we are unable to forecast the future demands of such customers; |
• | if our customers increase the amount of spending on automated network, service, and content and operations management tools, new suppliers of these tools may enter the market and successfully capture market share; and |
• | we may be unable to hire and retain enough qualified technical and management personnel to support our growth plans. |
On demand content and operations management systems have been our fastest growing and highest margin product lines. If we are unable to continue to grow revenues in these areas, it would limit our ability to increase earnings and likely have an adverse effect on our stock price.
FLUCTUATIONS IN OUR CONTENT AND OPERATIONS MANAGEMENT SYSTEMS SALES RESULT IN GREATER VOLATILITY IN OUR OPERATING RESULTS.
The level of our content and operations management systems sales fluctuates significantly quarter to quarter and results in greater volatility of our operating results than has been typical in the past, when the main source of volatility was the high proportion of quick-turn product sales. The timing of revenue recognition on software and system sales is based on specific contract terms and, in certain cases, is dependent upon completion of certain activities and customer acceptance which are difficult to forecast accurately. Because the gross margins associated with software and systems sales are substantially higher than our average gross margins, fluctuations in quarterly software sales have a disproportionate effect on operating results and earnings per share and could result in our operating results falling short of the expectations of securities analysts and investors.
WE MAY BE UNABLE TO ACCURATELY FORECAST THE DEMAND LEVEL FOR OUR PRODUCTS IN THE LONG TERM.
The major domestic cable operators have upgraded their networks to enable two-way communications. We expect the future level of demand for our products to be heavily influenced by the penetration rates of consumer offerings such as video on demand, high definition television, digital television, high speed Internet, and
14
Table of Contents
telephony over hybrid fiber coax networks, which are beyond our control. Accordingly, we cannot accurately forecast the level of demand for our products. A reduction in future demand would result in lower revenues and earnings and potentially even operating losses. Such reduction could also result in an impairment and write-off of goodwill and other long-lived assets as well as increased charges for excess inventory.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO DESIGN, MANUFACTURE, AND MARKET NEW OFFERINGS IN A TIMELY MANNER, WE MAY NOT REMAIN COMPETITIVE.
The broadband communications market is characterized by continuing technological advancement, changes in customer requirements, and evolving industry standards. To compete successfully, we must design, manufacture, and market new offerings that provide increasingly higher levels of performance and reliability. Our inability to design, manufacture, and market these products or to achieve broad commercial acceptance of these products would have an adverse effect on our business.
WE MAY PURSUE ACQUISITIONS AND INVESTMENTS THAT COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR BUSINESS.
In the past, we have made acquisitions of and investments in businesses, products, and technologies to complement or expand our business. While we have no plans for additional acquisitions in the near term, future acquisitions may occur. If we identify an acquisition candidate, we may not be able to successfully negotiate or finance the acquisition or integrate the acquired businesses, products, or technologies with our existing business and products. Future acquisitions could result in potentially dilutive issuances of equity securities, the incurrence of debt and contingent liabilities, amortization expenses, and substantial goodwill.
IF WE ARE UNABLE TO RETAIN OUR KEY PERSONNEL OR RECRUIT ADDITIONAL KEY PERSONNEL IN THE FUTURE, WE MAY BE UNABLE TO EFFECTIVELY EXECUTE OUR BUSINESS STRATEGY.
Our success depends on our ability to hire, retain, and motivate highly qualified personnel. Competition for qualified technical and other personnel is intense, and we may not successfully attract or retain such personnel. Competitors and others in the past have recruited our employees and may do so in the future. While we require our employees to sign customary agreements concerning confidentiality and ownership of inventions, we generally do not have employment contracts or non-competition agreements with our personnel. If we lose any of our key personnel, are unable to attract qualified personnel, or are delayed in hiring required personnel, particularly engineers and other technical personnel, our business could be negatively affected.
OUR RELIANCE ON SEVERAL KEY COMPONENTS, SUBASSEMBLIES, AND MODULES USED IN OUR PRODUCTS AND SYSTEMS COULD RESTRICT PRODUCTION AND RESULT IN HIGHER UNIT COSTS.
We obtain many components, subassemblies, and modules for our products from a single supplier or a limited group of suppliers. Our reliance on a single or limited group of suppliers, particularly foreign suppliers, and our increasing reliance on subcontractors, involves several risks. These risks include a potential inability to obtain an adequate supply of required components, subassemblies, or modules, and reduced control over pricing, quality, and timely delivery of these components, subassemblies, or modules. We do not generally maintain long-term agreements with any of our suppliers or subcontractors. An inability to obtain adequate deliveries or any other circumstances requiring us to seek alternative sources of supply could affect our ability to ship our products on a timely basis, which could damage our relationships with current and prospective customers, harm our business resulting in a loss of market share, and reduce quarterly revenues and income.
We generally maintain low inventory levels and do not make binding long-term commitments to suppliers. As a result, it may be difficult in the future to obtain components required for our products or to increase the volume of components, subassemblies, or modules if demand for our products increases. The lower level of commitments to our suppliers may also adversely affect our unit costs which are in many cases based upon volume discounts.

CHANGES IN INTERNATIONAL TRADE LAWS, REGULATIONS, OR THE POLITICAL CLIMATE IN MEXICO COULD HINDER OUR PRODUCTION CAPACITY.
During fiscal year 2006, we transferred certain manufacturing operations from Wallingford, Connecticut to our Tijuana, Mexico facility. As a result, most of the optical headends, nodes, and radio frequency amplifiers that we sell are made in our manufacturing facility in Tijuana, Mexico. This operation is exposed to certain risks as a result of its location, including:
• | changes in international trade laws, such as the North American Free Trade Agreement, affecting our import and export activities; |
• | changes in, or expiration of, the Mexican government’s Maquiladora program, which provides economic benefits to us; |
• | changes in labor laws and regulations affecting our ability to hire and retain employees; |
• | fluctuations of foreign currency and exchange controls; |
• | potential political instability and changes in the Mexican government; |
• | potential regulatory changes; and |
• | general economic conditions in Mexico. |
Any of these risks could interfere with the operation of this facility and result in reduced production, increased costs, or both. In the event that production capacity of this facility is reduced, we could fail to ship products on schedule and could face a reduction in future orders from dissatisfied customers. If our costs to operate this facility increase, our margins would decrease. Reduced shipments and margins would have an adverse effect on our financial results.
CHANGES IN THE REGULATORY, POLITICAL, AND ECONOMIC ENVIRONMENTS IN EUROPE AND ASIA COULD ADVERSELY AFFECT OUR SALES AND ADMINISTRATIVE SUPPORT OPERATIONS IN VARIOUS COUNTRIES IN WHICH WE HAVE INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS.
We have operations in The Netherlands, Spain, Portugal, the United Kingdom, France, Germany, and China. These operations mainly perform sales and administrative activities that support the delivery of localized versions of products and services in Europe and Asia. These facilities and operations are subject to certain risks as a result of their location, including:
• | changes in international trade laws that could affect doing business in the European Common Market; |
• | changes in labor laws and regulations affecting our ability to hire and retain employees; |
• | potential political instability and changes in the government; |
• | potential regulatory changes; |
• | potential changes in tax structures and rates; |
• | foreign currency fluctuations; and |
• | general economic conditions in Europe and Asia. |
OUR COMPETITORS, SOME OF WHOM ARE LARGER AND MORE ESTABLISHED, MAY HAVE A COMPETITIVE ADVANTAGE OVER US.
The market for products, content and operations management systems, and professional services is extremely competitive and is characterized by rapid technological change. Our current competitors include significantly larger companies with greater financial, technical, marketing, and other resources. Additional competition could come from new entrants in our markets. These existing and potential competitors may be in a
16
Table of Contents
better position to withstand a significant reduction in capital spending by cable network operators and to keep pace with changes in technology. We cannot assure that we will be able to compete successfully in the future or that competition will not harm our business.
Competitive pressures are likely to increase in the current capital spending environment as our competitors attempt to maintain revenue levels by increasing market share. This may result in increased price competition that could adversely affect our margins. Also, it could result in consolidation among our competitors which would have an unpredictable effect on our competitive position.
Cisco Systems, Motorola and Harmonic have completed acquisitions of video on demand vendors. The ability of larger combined companies to offer a more comprehensive system solution than we can, and their larger capital and personnel resources, may put us at a competitive disadvantage. This could result in a loss of market share and reduced sales and earnings.
WE DEPEND ON INTERNATIONAL SALES AND ARE SUBJECT TO CERTAIN RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH INTERNATIONAL OPERATIONS.
Sales to customers outside of the U.S accounted for 23%, 36%, and 42% of 2007, 2006, and 2005 consolidated net sales from continuing operations, respectively, and we expect international sales to comprise a significant percentage of our sales in the future. Our sales to international customers are subject to a number of risks, including:
• | import and export license requirements, duties, tariffs, and taxes; |
• | the burden of complying with various foreign laws and regulations, technical standards, and treaties; |
• | difficulty in staffing and managing foreign operations; |
• | difficulty in collecting accounts receivable; |
• | changes in foreign regulations and telecommunications standards; and |
• | fluctuations in foreign exchange rates. |
If we are unable to maintain and grow our international sales, there would be an adverse effect on our earnings and financial position.
WE DEPEND ON CHANNEL PARTNERS TO SELL OUR PRODUCTS IN CERTAIN AREAS AND ARE SUBJECT TO RISKS ASSOCIATED WITH THESE ARRANGEMENTS.
We utilize distributors, value-added resellers, system integrators, and manufacturers’ representatives to sell our products to certain customers and in certain geographic regions, and we expect a growing proportion of our sales to come through such channel partners in the future. Our sales through channel partners are subject to a number of risks, including:
• | ability of our selected channel partners to effectively sell our products to end customers; |
• | our ability to continue channel partner arrangements into the future since most are for a limited term and subject to mutual agreement to extend; |
• | a reduction in gross margins realized on sale of our products; and |
• | diminution of contact with end customers which, over time, could aversely impact our ability to develop new products that meet customers’ evolving requirements. |

Table of Contents
WE MAY NEED ADDITIONAL CAPITAL IN THE FUTURE AND MAY NOT BE ABLE TO SECURE ADEQUATE FUNDS ON TERMS ACCEPTABLE TO US.
Prior to fiscal year 2007, we incurred operating losses that negatively impacted cash flow from operations, and we may do so in the future. We currently anticipate that our existing capital resources, including available cash, will be sufficient to meet our operating needs for the next 24 months. If our cash flows are less than expected, we may need to borrow or raise additional funds sooner to respond to unforeseen technological or marketing hurdles, satisfy unforeseen liabilities, or take advantage of unanticipated opportunities. A future acquisition could require significant amounts of capital. We may not be able to obtain funds at the time or times needed on terms acceptable to us, or at all. If we are unable to obtain adequate funds on acceptable terms, we may not be able to take advantage of market opportunities, develop new products, or otherwise respond to competitive pressures. We may also need to borrow or raise additional funds to pay the principal of our 3.5% senior unsecured convertible notes (the “Notes”) which mature on December 31, 2009. We may need to refinance all or a portion of our indebtedness under the Notes on or before maturity. We may not be able to refinance the Notes, if necessary, on commercially reasonable terms or at all.
IF OUR SALES FORECASTS ARE NOT REALIZED IN A GIVEN PERIOD OR IF OUR OPERATING RESULTS FLUCTUATE IN ANY GIVEN QUARTER, OUR STOCK PRICE MAY FALL.
While we receive periodic forecasts from our customers as to their future requirements, these forecasts may not accurately reflect future purchase orders for our products. Sales of equipment are typically based on purchase orders and a substantial proportion of equipment sales are quick-turn orders that are received and fulfilled in the same quarter. Revenue recognition of software and system sales is based on specific contract terms and, in certain cases, is dependent upon completion of certain activities and customer acceptance which are difficult to forecast accurately. In addition, the sales cycles of many of our products, particularly our software products and our newer products sold internationally, are typically unpredictable and usually involve:
• | a significant technical evaluation by our customers; |
• | a commitment of capital and other resources by network operators; |
• | delays associated with network operators’ internal procedures to approve large capital expenditures; |
• | time required to engineer the deployment of new technologies or services within broadband networks; and |
• | testing and acceptance of new technologies that affect key operations. |
• | For these and other reasons, our sales cycles generally last three to six months, but can last up to 12 months and beyond. |
In addition, because a limited number of large customers account for a significant portion of our sales, the timing of their orders can cause significant fluctuation in our quarterly operating results. A substantial portion of our expenses are fixed in the short term and are based on expected sales. If sales are below expectations in any given quarter, the negative impact on our operating results may be increased if we are unable to adjust our spending to compensate for the lower sales. Accordingly, variations in the timing of sales can cause significant fluctuation in our quarterly operating results and may result in a decline in the price of our common stock.
WE MAY BE HARMED IF WE ARE UNABLE TO ADEQUATELY PROTECT OUR INTELLECTUAL PROPERTY RIGHTS, PATENT APPLICATIONS, AND NON-EXCLUSIVE LICENSES FOR UNITED STATES PATENTS.
We intend to continue to file patent applications in the future, where we believe appropriate, and to pursue such applications with United States and foreign patent authorities, but we cannot be sure that patents will be issued on such applications or that our patents will not be contested. Also, because issuance of a valid patent does not prevent other companies from using alternative, non-infringing technology, we cannot be sure that any of our patents will provide significant commercial protection. We also rely on trade secrets, technical know-how,
18
Table of Contents
copyright, and other unpatented proprietary information relating to our product development and manufacturing activities. We try to protect this information with confidentiality agreements with our employees and other parties. We cannot be sure that these agreements will not be breached, that we will have adequate remedies for any breach, or that our trade secrets and proprietary know-how will not otherwise become known or independently discovered by others.
Particular aspects of our technology could be found to infringe on the claims of other existing or future patents. Other companies may hold or obtain patents on inventions or may otherwise claim proprietary rights to technology necessary to our business which could prevent us from developing new products. We cannot predict the extent to which we may be required to seek licenses, or the extent to which they will be available to us on acceptable terms, if at all.
WE MAY EXPERIENCE INCREASES IN OUR TAX EXPENSE IF WE BECOME MORE PROFITABLE.
We have a substantial amount of net operating loss carryforwards that will be utilized only if we are profitable in the future. In fiscal year 2003, we established a full valuation allowance against our deferred tax assets in most jurisdictions as the operating losses realized in fiscal years 2001 through 2003 raised doubts about our ability to utilize those deferred tax assets in the future. As a result, our operating cash flow, reported net income (loss), and earnings (loss) per share reflect a relatively low effective tax rate. If we generate taxable income in a jurisdiction on a consistent basis for multiple consecutive quarters, we might eliminate or reduce the deferred tax asset valuation allowance for that jurisdiction which will have the effect of increasing the amount of income tax expense recorded in the future and decreasing the reported net income and earnings per share.
WE MAY INCUR SIGNIFICANT LIABILITIES IF WE FAIL TO COMPLY WITH ENVIRONMENTAL REGULATIONS OR IF WE DID NOT COMPLY WITH THESE REGULATIONS IN THE PAST.
We are subject to a variety of Federal, state, and local governmental regulations related to the use, storage, discharge, and disposal of toxic or otherwise hazardous chemicals used in our manufacturing process. Although we believe that our activities conform to environmental regulations, the failure to comply with present or future regulations could result in fines being imposed on us, suspension of production, or a cessation of operations. We cannot assure that we have not in the past violated applicable laws or regulations which could result in required remediation or other liabilities.
WE ARE SUBJECT TO INCREASED COSTS OF COMPLYING WITH NEW REGULATIONS ON CORPORATE GOVERNANCE AND DISCLOSURE STANDARDS AND OUR SHARE PRICE COULD BE ADVERSELY AFFECTED IF WE FAIL TO COMPLY.
Complying with changing laws, regulations, and standards relating to corporate governance and public disclosure, including the Sarbanes-Oxley Act of 2002, SEC regulations, and Nasdaq Stock Market rules, is requiring a substantial amount of management and employee time and ongoing expense. Section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act requires management’s annual review and evaluation of our internal control over financial reporting, and attestation of the effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting by management and our independent registered public accounting firm in connection with the filing of the annual report on Form 10-K for each fiscal year. We have documented and tested our internal control systems and procedures and no known material weaknesses exist at this time. However, it is possible that a material weakness may be found in the future and if this occurs, investors may lose confidence in our financial statements, and the price of our stock may decline.

Item 3. | Legal Proceedings |
On July 23, 2007, the Company received correspondence from attorneys for the Adelphia Recovery Trust (“the Trust”), that the Company may have received $29.1 million in transfers from Adelphia Cablevision, LLC (“Cablevision”), one of the Adelphia debtors, during the year prior to its filing of a chapter 11 petition on June 25, 2002 (the “Petition Date”). The correspondence further asserts that information obtained during the course of the Adelphia chapter 11 proceedings indicates that Cablevision was insolvent during the year prior to the Petition Date, and accordingly, the Trust intends to assert that the payments made to the Company were fraudulent transfers under section 548 (a) of the Bankruptcy Code that may be recovered for the benefit of Cablevision’s bankruptcy estate pursuant to section 550 of the Bankruptcy Code.
To date, no suit has been commenced by the Trust and the Company has requested documents supporting the Trust’s position which have not yet been provided. In the event suit is commenced, the Company intends to contest the case vigorously; however, it cannot be sure that it would be successful in its defense. The Company understands that a similar letter was received by other Adelphia suppliers and the Company may seek to enter into a joint defense agreement to share legal expenses if a suit is commenced. No estimate can be made of the possible range of loss, if any, associated with a resolution of these assertions, and, accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability as of June 29, 2007. An unfavorable outcome of this matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations.

Item 7. | Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations |
Business Overview
We are a global provider of integrated, end-to-end network solutions that include products, content and operations management systems, and professional services for two-way hybrid fiber coax broadband networks delivering video, voice, and data.
Prior to fiscal year 2007, we reported our results of operations based upon three operating segments: C-COR Access and Transport, C-COR Solutions, and C-COR Network Services. In an effort to improve operational efficiencies across the organization and reduce costs, we reorganized aspects of our business and combined the C-COR Access and Transport and C-COR Solutions segment into the Broadband Systems Solutions segment. As a result, in fiscal year 2007, we reported our results of operations based upon two operating segments: Broadband Systems Solutions and Network Services. Prior year segment data has been restated to reflect this change.
TheBroadband Systems Solutions segment is responsible for the development, management, production, deployment, support, and sale of unified solutions for delivering voice, video, and data services over complex networks for residential and business subscribers, including:
• | Network infrastructure products, including the Company’s amplitude modulation headend/hub optical platform and line of optical nodes, and a full offering of radio frequency amplifiers, and |
• | Content and operations management systems, including software and hardware, for delivery of video on demand and digital advertising as well as application-oriented, operational support software for managing bandwidth and resource utilization, network and service assurance, and mobile workforce automation. |
TheNetwork Services segment provides technical services for engineering, design, and deployment of advanced applications over broadband networks, including network design, network integration, and consulting to a variety of customers. On June 29, 2007, we sold our field services operations, consisting of outside plant and installation services, which had been part of our Network Services segment and is reported as discontinued operations.
Net sales for fiscal year 2007 were $277.3 million, an increase of 30% from $213.9 million in fiscal year 2006, reflecting higher revenues from Broadband Systems Solutions and Network Services segments. Broadband Systems Solutions revenues, which include products and content and operations management systems, increased 30% to $271.5 million for fiscal year 2007 compared to $209.6 million for fiscal year 2006. Product revenues increased 34% to $211.4 million for fiscal year 2007 compared to $158.0 million for fiscal year 2006, primarily due to increased upgrade requirements for domestic customers. Content and operations management systems revenues, which consist of equipment and application software sales of video on demand systems, digital advertising insertion systems, operational support systems and related maintenance and support services, increased 16% to $60.1 million for fiscal year 2007 compared to $51.6 million for fiscal year 2006, primarily due to higher back office operational support system and maintenance services sales. Network Services revenues increased 35% to $5.8 million for fiscal year 2007 compared to $4.3 million for fiscal year 2006, due to increased professional services projects.
Our largest customers during fiscal year 2007 were Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, and Comcast Corporation, accounting for 31%, 15%, and 12%, respectively, of net sales. Our largest customer during fiscal year 2006 was Time Warner Cable, accounting for 19% of net sales. International customers accounted for 23% of net sales during fiscal year 2007 compared to 36% during fiscal year 2006. Our financial results for fiscal year 2006 included one additional week of operations compared to fiscal year 2007.
Gross margins were 45.3% compared to gross margins of 36.9% for fiscal year 2006. Gross margins increased during fiscal year 2007 for both products and content and operations management systems, and were partially offset by a decline in network services gross margins compared to fiscal year 2006. Product gross margins during fiscal year 2006 were adversely affected by an $8.6 million write-down in inventory due to our decision to cease selling certain transport product lines.

Our selling and administrative expense as a percent of sales were 23% for fiscal year 2007 compared to 31% for fiscal year 2006. Research and product development expense as a percent of sales were 12% compared to 18% for fiscal year 2006. The reduction in selling and administrative and research and product development expenses resulted primarily from lower personnel and administrative expenses resulting from restructuring initiatives implemented in the latter half of fiscal year 2006.
Our income from continuing operations was $25.6 million or $.51 per diluted share, which compares to a loss from continuing operations in fiscal year 2006 of ($30.1) million, or ($.63), per diluted share.
We are subject to various risks associated with our business operations. For additional information concerning risks, refer to “Risk Factors,” in Part 1, Item 1A of this Form 10-K.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The accounting and financial reporting policies of the Company are in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. The preparation of financial statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements, and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Management has discussed the development and selection of the Company’s critical accounting estimates with the Audit Committee of the Company’s Board of Directors and the Audit Committee has reviewed the Company’s related disclosures. A detailed description of the Company’s significant accounting policies is set forth below and in the Notes to Consolidated Financial Statements in the Company’s Form 10-K for fiscal year 2007.
The critical accounting policies requiring estimates, assumptions, and judgments that we believe have the most significant impact on our consolidated financial statements are:
• | Revenue recognition |
• | Allowances for doubtful accounts |
• | Valuation of inventories |
• | Valuation of goodwill, other intangible assets, and long-lived assets |
• | Restructuring costs |
• | Share-based compensation |
• | Warranty liabilities |
• | Accounting for foreign currency translation and transactions |
• | Accounting for income taxes |
• | Accounting for Contingencies |
Different assumptions and judgments would change estimates used in the preparation of our consolidated financial statements, which, in turn, could change the results from those reported.
Revenue Recognition. We recognize revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sale price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured. Revenue from product sales and sales-type leases is recognized based upon delivery terms. Revenue is recognized when the equipment has been shipped to the customer if delivery terms are origin-based (FOB Shipping Point and Ex-works). When delivery terms are destination-based (FOB Destination, Delivery duty unpaid (DDU) and Delivery duty paid (DDP)), revenue is recognized upon the delivery of the equipment. When payments are received upon product delivery and the agreement with the customer contains a customer acceptance clause, revenue is deferred until customer acceptance is obtained.

Content and operations management systems revenues consist of equipment and application-oriented software to support the sale of video on demand systems, digital advertising insertion systems, and operational support systems. For our software licensing arrangements involving multiple elements, revenue is allocated to each element based on vendor specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair values of the elements. Our VSOE of fair value is determined based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. If VSOE of fair value does not exist for all elements in a multiple element arrangement, revenue is deferred until all elements without VSOE are delivered, at which time we apply the residual method. Under the residual method, if VSOE exists for the undelivered element (post contract support (PCS)), the fair value of the undelivered element is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the PCS contract, and the remaining portion of the arrangement is recognized as revenue upon delivery, which generally occurs on completion of implementation of the system. License revenue allocated to software products, in certain circumstances, is recognized upon the delivery of the software products.
For certain of our software license arrangements where professional services are being provided that are deemed to be essential to the functionality or are for significant production, modification, or customization of the software product, both the software product revenue and the professional service revenue are recognized on the completed-contract method, as the Company does not have the ability to reasonably estimate contract costs at the inception of the contracts. Under the completed-contract method, revenue is recognized when the contract is complete, and all direct costs and related revenues are deferred until that time. We recognize software license and associated professional services revenue for our mobile workforce management software license products using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting as we believe that our estimates of costs to complete and extent of progress toward completion of such contracts are reliable.
Software maintenance and support service fees are generally billed and collected in advance of the associated maintenance contract term. Maintenance and support fees collected are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized ratably under the straight-line method over the term of the contract.
Service revenues, consisting of system design, professional services, and other consulting engagements, are generally recognized as services are rendered in accordance with the terms of contracts. We also enter into multiple element contracts that entail delivery of both products and services. Revenue from these contracts is accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method. Under the percentage-of-completion method, for certain contracts, we have recorded revenue by reference to the costs incurred to date and the estimated costs remaining to fulfill the contracts. For other contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, we record revenue and costs based on the units of delivery method. This method recognizes as revenue the contract price of units of the product delivered during each period and the costs allocable to the delivered units as the cost of earned revenue. Provisions for losses on service contracts are recognized during the period in which the loss first becomes apparent. For contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, we typically perform the services prior to billing the customer which gives rise to unbilled receivables. In these circumstances, billings usually occur shortly after we perform a specified amount of the work, as outlined in the contract. Unbilled receivables are expected to be billed and collected generally within three to six months.
Allowances for Doubtful Accounts. We establish a general allowance for doubtful accounts based on percentages applied to certain aged receivable categories. These percentages are determined by a variety of factors, including current economic trends, contractual terms and conditions, and historical payment experience. In addition, we establish allowances for specifically identified doubtful accounts when a loss is deemed to be both probable and estimable. In the event that we are not able to predict changes in the financial condition of our customers, resulting in an unexpected problem with collectibility of receivables and our actual bad debts differ from estimates, or we adjust estimates in future periods, our established allowances may be insufficient and we may be required to record additional allowances. Alternatively, if we provided more allowances than are ultimately required, we may reverse a portion of such provisions in future periods based on our actual collection experience. In the event we adjust our allowance estimates, it could materially affect our operating results and financial position.

Valuation of Inventories. Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined primarily on the first-in, first-out method. We establish provisions for excess and obsolete inventories after evaluation of historical sales and usage, current economic trends, market conditions, product rationalization, forecasted sales, product lifecycles, and current inventory levels. This evaluation requires us to make estimates regarding future events in an industry where rapid technological changes are prevalent. It is possible that increases in inventory reserves may be required in the future if there is a decline in market conditions or if changes in expected product lifecycles occur. Alternatively, if market conditions improve or product lifecycles extend, we may have greater success in selling inventory that had previously been written down. In either event, the actual value of our inventory may be higher or lower and recognition of such difference will affect our cost of sales in a future period, which could materially affect our operating results and financial position.
Valuation of Goodwill, Other Intangible Assets, and Other Long-lived Assets. We assess goodwill at least annually for impairment and more frequently if circumstances warrant. We have chosen the end of the third quarter of each fiscal year as the period for performing our annual assessment. The impairment assessment is performed in two steps: (i) we determine whether impairment is indicated by comparing the fair value of each of our reporting units with its carrying value and (ii) if there is an indication of impairment, we measure the amount of impairment loss by comparing the implied fair value of goodwill with the carrying amount of that goodwill. We use the income and market approach to measure the fair value of the Company’s reporting units. Under the income approach, the fair value is dependent on the present value of future economic benefits to be derived from ownership. Future net cash flows available for distribution are discounted at a rate of return we determine to be commensurate with the risk inherent in our business. If impairment is indicated, we allocate the fair value of the reporting unit to the reporting unit’s individual assets and liabilities. The residual value is the implied fair value of goodwill. The difference between the carrying amount of the goodwill and the implied fair value of the goodwill is recorded as an impairment loss.
We also assess other intangible assets and other long-lived assets for recoverability whenever events or changes in circumstances indicate that their carrying value may not be recoverable through the estimated undiscounted future cash flows resulting from the use of the assets. The assessment of the recoverability of long-lived assets reflects management’s assumptions and estimates regarding future operating results and expected cash flows for each reporting unit.
Significant management judgment is involved in estimating the future operating performance and cash flows of the reporting unit. Measurement of the recoverability of these assets is dependent upon the accuracy of the assumptions used in making these estimates, as well as how the estimates compare to the eventual future operating performance of the specific reporting unit to which the assets are attributed. The assumptions utilized in the impairment analysis are consistent with management’s internal planning. If an impairment of goodwill, intangible assets, or long-lived assets is determined, it is recorded as a charge against earnings in the period when recognized. For additional information regarding goodwill and other intangible assets, refer to Note 10 of our consolidated financial statements.
Restructuring Costs. Restructuring costs are recorded in accordance with SFAS No. 146, “Accounting for Costs Associated with Exit or Disposal Activities” (Statement 146). Statement 146 requires that a liability be recognized for a cost associated with an exit or disposal activity when the liability is incurred. Statement 146 requires us to make judgments in estimating the restructuring costs of leased facilities, including assumptions as to when a facility will be subleased and the amount of sublease income. For additional information regarding restructuring costs, refer to Note 5 of our consolidated financial statements. Revisions to our estimates could result in an additional charge to earnings or a reversal of previously recorded charges, which could materially affect our operating results and financial position in future periods if anticipated events and key assumptions change.
Share-based Compensation. We adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (Statement 123R) as of June 25, 2005, which requires us to measure compensation cost for all outstanding unvested share-based awards
27
Table of Contents
at fair value and recognize compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. We use the Black-Scholes closed form option-pricing model (Black-Scholes) for purposes of determining estimated fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant under Statement 123R. The Black Scholes model requires certain assumptions that involve judgment. Because changes in assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing model may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of our share-based payment awards. Management will continue to assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of share-based compensation. Circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies and thereby materially impact our fair value determination. If factors change and we employ different assumption in the application of Statement 123R in future periods, the compensation expense that we record under Statement 123R may differ significantly from what we have recorded in the current period. We elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided for under SFAS 123(R)-3 to establish the initial pool of excess tax benefits, which would be available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of Statement 123R. The pool of excess tax benefits was determined to be zero as of the date of adoption.
Warranty Liabilities. We warrant our products against defects in materials and workmanship, generally for one to five years, depending upon product lines and geographic regions. A provision for estimated future costs related to warranty activities is recorded when the product is shipped, based upon our historical experience of known product failure rates and historical costs incurred in correcting product failures. In addition, from time to time, the recorded amount is adjusted for specifically identified warranty exposures if unforeseen technical problems arise. In the event that our historical experience of product failure rates and costs of correcting product failures change, or our estimates relating to probable losses resulting from specifically identified warranty exposures change, we may be required to record additional warranty reserves. Alternatively, if we provided more reserves than we needed, we may reverse a portion of such provisions in future periods. In the event we change our warranty reserve estimates, the resulting charge against future cost of sales or reversal of previously recorded charges may materially affect our operating results and financial position.
Accounting for Foreign Currency Translation and Transactions. In preparing our consolidated financial statements, we are required to translate the financial statements of our foreign subsidiaries from the currency in which they keep their accounting records, generally the local currency, into United States dollars. This process results in exchange gains and losses which are either included within the consolidated statement of operations or as a separate component of shareholders’ equity. Under the relevant accounting guidance, the treatment of these translation gains or losses is dependent upon management’s determination of the functional currency of each subsidiary. The functional currency is determined based upon management’s judgment and involves consideration of all relevant economic facts and circumstances affecting the subsidiary. Generally, the currency in which the subsidiary transacts a majority of its transactions, including billing, financing, payroll and other expenditures, would be considered the functional currency but dependency upon the parent company and the nature of the subsidiary’s operations must also be considered. If any subsidiary’s functional currency is deemed to be the local currency, then any gain or loss associated with the translation of the subsidiary’s financial statements is included in shareholders’ equity. However, if the functional currency is deemed to be the United States dollar, then any gain or loss associated with the translation of the subsidiary’s financial statements would be included within our consolidated statement of operations. If we dispose of any of our subsidiaries, any cumulative translation gains or losses would be realized in our consolidated statement of operations. If we determine that there has been a change in the functional currency of a subsidiary to the United States dollar, any translation gains or losses arising after the date of change would be included within our consolidated statement of operations. We convert the assets and liabilities of foreign operations into their United States dollar equivalents at rates in effect at the balance sheet dates. The statements of operations of foreign operations are translated from the operation’s functional currency to the United States dollar equivalents at average rates for the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses resulting from settlement of foreign receivables and payables, including certain cross-currency intercompany activities where payment is expected to be satisfied in the normal course of business, are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Other cross-currency intercompany activities, where management has no intent to require payment in the foreseeable future, are recorded in shareholders’
28
Table of Contents
equity as a component of other comprehensive income (loss). In the event management’s intent with respect to cross-currency intercompany activities changes, such changes could result in future foreign currency gains or losses that may materially affect our operating results and financial position.
Accounting for Income Taxes. We estimate our income taxes for each of the jurisdictions in which we operate. This involves estimating our actual current income tax payable and assessing temporary differences resulting from differing treatment of items, such as reserves and accruals, for tax and accounting purposes. Deferred taxes arise due to temporary differences in the bases of assets and liabilities and from net operating losses and credit carryforwards. In general, deferred tax assets represent future tax benefits to be received when certain expenses previously recognized in the Company’s consolidated statement of operations become deductible expenses under applicable income tax laws or loss or credit carryforwards are utilized. Accordingly, realization of deferred tax assets is dependent on future taxable income against which these deductions, losses and credits can be utilized. In assessing the realizability of deferred tax assets, management considers whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. Management considers historical operating losses, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, and tax planning strategies in making this assessment.
Accounting for Contingencies: We are subject to certain claims and pending or threatened litigation that arise in the ordinary course of our business. We assess the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes as well as potential ranges of probable losses. We record accruals for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Based on our review of claims and pending or threatened litigation, we believe that we have meritorious defenses with respect to these claims and pending or threatened litigation matters or are unable to predict the impact of an adverse action and, accordingly no loss contingencies have been accrued. There can be no assurance, however, that we will prevail. An unfavorable outcome could have a material adverse effect on our business, our financial position, and our results of operations. Contingencies that might result in a gain are not accrued before they are realized.
Overview of Divestitures
On August 31, 2006, we sold our Service Activation Manager (SAM) and Service Provisioning Manager (SPM) product lines, and sold certain of our operations in India to Sigma Systems Canada, Inc. and its wholly owned subsidiary in India. The SAM and SPM products and operations were included as part of our Broadband Systems Solutions segment.
The terms of sale included a $388,000 cash payment, the assumption of certain liabilities and a credit for future consulting services. The assets sold included a partial interest in the Company’s ownership of certain software technology, rights under certain contracts, accounts receivable, fixed assets, and certain other assets and liabilities. We recorded a loss of $245,000, including a write-off of goodwill of $342,000, related to the sale of these product lines and transition of operations during the thirteen-week period ended September 29, 2006.
Discontinued Operations
On June 29, 2007, we sold certain assets and liabilities of our field services operations, the operations of which were included as a component of our Network Services segment, to Source Broadband Solutions, LLC, a privately held business in Atlanta, Georgia. We classified this business as a discontinued operation as of June 29, 2007. The terms of the sale included a $7.0 million cash payment. Direct transaction costs incurred by us were $77,000. The primary assets sold were customer contracts, machinery and equipment, goodwill, and other tangible and intangible assets of the business. The Company recorded a gain, net of tax, on the sale of $3.6 million.

Fiscal 2007 Compared to Fiscal 2006
Net Sales. Sales on a consolidated basis increased 30% in fiscal year 2007, which was driven by higher revenues from the sales of products, as well as content and operations management and professional service sales. Our largest customers for fiscal year 2007 were Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, and Comcast Corporation, accounting for 31%, 15%, and 12%, respectively, of net sales.
Broadband Systems Solutions segment sales increased 30% for fiscal year 2007. The sales of network infrastructure products increased 34%, primarily as a result of increased upgrade requirements for domestic customers. We believe the increased revenues for network products related to expansion and upgrades by Time Warner and Comcast, as a result of their acquisitions of substantially all of the assets of Adelphia Communications Corporation, and in general, upgrades by domestic cable operators to expand system bandwidth requirements in order to provide enhanced broadband services, including high definition television, high-speed Internet, voice over Internet Protocol, digital video, and interactive and on demand video services. Content and operations management systems sales increased 16% for fiscal year 2007, due primarily to higher revenues related to operational support software systems sales to Time Warner, which was partially offset by lower on demand content management systems sales. Content and operations management systems revenues are derived from sales under multiple element arrangements whereby revenues are recognized using the completed contract method of accounting or, in some cases, are recognized ratably over the delivery period. As a result, systems revenues are affected by the timing of new orders and customer acceptance requirements. Software license and associated professional services revenue for our mobile workforce software product line is recognized using the

Table of Contents
percentage of completion method of accounting due to our ability to reliably estimate contract costs at the inception of the contracts. Deferred revenue increased by 63%, to $36.4 million at June 29, 2007 from $22.4 million at June 30, 2006. This compares to an increase in deferred revenue during fiscal year 2006, of 25%.
Network Services segment sales increased 35% during fiscal year 2007 resulting from increased professional services sales related to network integration services.
Domestic sales increased 57% for fiscal year 2007 due primarily to increased Broadband Systems Solutions segment sales to Time Warner Cable, Cox Communications, and Comcast Corporation.
International sales decreased 19% for fiscal year 2007, due primarily to lower Broadband Systems Solutions segment sales of network products to certain customers, primarily in Europe and Asia, as well as lower content management systems sales. We believe that future capital spending in European markets will be primarily driven by increased competition for enhanced broadband services requiring telecommunication providers to upgrade their networks to support these enhanced services. We expect demand for our product line offerings in international markets will continue to be highly variable. The international markets represent distinct markets in which capital spending decisions for network infrastructure products and content and operations management systems are affected by a variety of factors, including access to financing and general economic conditions.

Our total contract backlog is defined as the revenue we expect to generate in future periods from existing customer contracts. Our 12-month backlog is defined as the revenue we expect to generate from customer contracts over the next 12 months. For the Broadband Systems Solutions segment, the majority of orders in backlog for products typically result in revenue over the next six months. Orders for content and operations

Table of Contents
management systems include software license fees, maintenance fees, systems and services specified in executed contracts, for which the timing of revenue can be affected by both contract performance and the application of accounting principles to the specific terms of the contract, typically resulting in the recognition of revenues over longer periods. As a result, a portion of our content and operations management systems backlog is expected to generate revenues in periods that extend beyond the next 12 months. Our Network Services backlog typically includes a portion that will result in revenue over the latter part of the twelve month period.
Our backlog methodology requires us to make judgments about the timing of implementation and deployment schedules based upon our historical experience. Backlog can change due to a number of factors, including unforeseen changes in development and implementation schedules, contract renegotiations or terminations, or changes in customer financial conditions. In addition, changes in foreign currency exchange rates may also affect the amount of revenue actually recognized in future periods. Accordingly, there can be no assurance that contracts included in backlog will actually generate the anticipated revenues or that the actual revenues will be generated as indicated for the corresponding 12-month or greater than 12-month periods. We make management decisions based on our backlog, including hiring of personnel, purchasing of materials, and other matters that may increase our production capabilities and costs. Cancellations, delays or reductions of orders or contracts could adversely affect our results of operations and financial condition.
Gross Margin.The following table sets forth our gross margins by operating segment for fiscal year 2007 compared to fiscal year 2006.
Fiscal Year Ended | |||||||
Operating Segment | June 29, 2007 Gross Margin % | Change Points | June 30, 2006 Gross Margin % | ||||

Network Services | 35.4 | (5.1 | ) | 40.5 | |||
Consolidated | 45.3 | 8.4 | 36.9 |
Consolidated gross margins increased during fiscal year 2007, primarily due to higher gross margins in our Broadband Systems Solutions segment. Broadband Systems Solutions product gross margins increased for fiscal year 2007, as a result of higher volumes and changes in sales mix. Broadband Systems Solutions product gross margins for fiscal year 2006 were adversely affected by a write-down in inventory of $8.6 million associated with certain transport product lines, based on management’s assessment of market conditions for those product lines. Broadband Systems Solutions content and operations management systems gross margins increased for fiscal year 2007, as a result of product mix and increased volume. Network Services segment gross margins declined for fiscal year 2007 due to the mix of services associated with projects during the fiscal year. We anticipate that our future gross margins will continue to be affected by many factors, including revenue levels in general, sales mix, competitive pricing pressures, the timing of new product introductions and the timing of deployments for certain of our content management and operational support software solutions.
Selling and Administrative.Selling and administrative expenses were $62.9 million (23% of net sales) in fiscal year 2007, compared to $65.4 million (31% of net sales) in fiscal year 2006. Selling and administrative expenses declined 4% for fiscal year 2007, primarily as a result of lower personnel and administrative expenses resulting from restructuring initiatives implemented in the latter half of fiscal year 2006 in order to improve our cost structure.
Research and Product Development. Research and product development expenses were $32.5 million during fiscal year 2007 compared to $38.2 million during fiscal year 2006. Research and product development
33
Table of Contents
expenses declined 15% for fiscal year 2007, due primarily to lower personnel costs resulting from workforce reductions. Our research and product development expenses consist primarily of the compensation of development personnel, depreciation of development and test equipment, project expenses to support product development initiatives, and program services. We believe sustained commitment to product development efforts will be required for us to remain competitive, and anticipate continuing investments in research and product development in future periods related to network infrastructure products and content and operations management systems.
Restructuring Charges.Restructuring charges related to continuing operations were $960,000 in fiscal year 2007 compared to restructuring charges of $6.6 million in fiscal year 2006. During fiscal year 2007, we incurred ongoing restructuring charges associated with the closure and downsizing of leased facilities, as well as additional employee termination benefits associated with workforce reductions. During fiscal year 2006, we initiated a restructuring of our operations to reduce costs and maximize operational efficiency by relocating certain processes from Wallingford, Connecticut to our Tijuana, Mexico facility as well as closing our Sunnyvale, California and Andover, Massachusetts facilities. The fiscal year 2006 restructuring charges represented employee termination benefits associated with workforce reductions of 209 employees and lease commitment costs related to the closure and downsizing of these facilities.
Operating Income (Loss) By Segment. The table below sets forth our operating income (loss), excluding unallocated items, for fiscal years ended June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, for each of our reportable segments.
Fiscal Year Ended | |||||||||
(In millions of dollars) | |||||||||
June 29, 2007 Operating | Change from Prior Year | June 30, 2006 Operating Income (Loss) | |||||||
Operating Segment | |||||||||
Broadband Systems Solutions | $ | 24.2 | 66.3 | $ | (42.1 | ) | |||
Network Services | 1.4 | 0.1 | 1.3 |
Operating income for the Broadband Systems Solutions segment for fiscal year 2007 was $24.2 million compared to an operating loss of $42.1 million for fiscal year 2006, due to higher revenues and improved gross margins. The operating loss in fiscal year 2006 included the previously discussed inventory and restructuring charges, as well as an impairment charge of $7.0 million, including $5.3 million associated with the decision to cease sales and marketing activities related to certain transport product lines, and $1.7 million associated with the divestiture of our operations in Mulgrave, Australia. In addition, we recorded a gain of $2.0 million in fiscal year 2006 associated with the divestiture of our digital video product line. The increase in operating income for the Network Services segment for fiscal year 2007 was due to higher volume, which offset lower gross margins during the period.
Interest Expense and Investment Income.Interest expense was $1.4 million in both fiscal 2007 and 2006. Interest expense derived primarily from interest payments and debt issuance costs associated with our 3.5% senior unsecured convertible notes issued on December 31, 2004 in the acquisition of nCUBE.
Investment income was $3.8 million in fiscal year 2007 compared to $2.0 million in fiscal year 2006. Investment income increased in fiscal year 2007, due to a higher average investment balance and improved investment returns.
Gain on sale of bankruptcy trade claims. In October 2003, we sold substantially all of our pre-petition claims related to accounts receivables in the bankruptcy cases of Adelphia and affiliates. We received an initial payment in fiscal year 2004 of $21.1 million, with additional amounts being held in escrow pending the resolution of certain contingencies. In the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2006, we received $11.8 million (includes interest income of $393,000) of the additional funds held in escrow. A gain of $11.4 million (net of $458,000
34

credited to interest income and legal costs) was recorded; of which $9.7 million was recorded as a gain in continuing operations and $1.7 million was recorded as a gain in discontinued operations.
Other income, net.Other income was $431,000 in fiscal year 2007 compared to $3.1 million in fiscal year 2006. Included in other income for fiscal year 2006 was a $1.2 million gain on litigation judgment and $1.1 million gain on sale of assets.
Income Tax Expense. Income tax expense from continuing operations was $2.6 million in fiscal year 2007 compared to $2.9 million in fiscal year 2006. Income taxes for fiscal year 2007 derived from the following: recognition of additional valuation allowance, current taxes paid or payable for federal alternative minimum tax (“AMT”), for which any AMT credit carryforward is offset by a valuation allowance, and state and foreign income tax in those jurisdictions where offsetting loss carryforwards are not available or are limited.
The Company has assessed the realizability of its deferred tax assets, giving consideration to historical operating losses, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies. We have concluded as of June 29, 2007, that the realization of any future benefit from deductible temporary differences, net operating loss and tax credit carryforwards is uncertain in many of the taxing jurisdictions in which we operate. Therefore, we have continued to maintain a valuation allowance for substantially all of our deferred tax assets, with the exception of deferred tax assets in certain foreign jurisdictions where the Company has historically been profitable. We expect to maintain valuation allowances related to deferred tax benefits until a level of profitability is achieved and sustained in the applicable tax jurisdiction that demonstrates it is more likely than not that we will be able to realize all or part of the deferred tax assets. In the event that we reverse the valuation allowance in the future, reported tax expense subsequent to such action will increase and will likely approximate the statutory rates in the various jurisdictions in which we operate.
Fiscal 2006 Compared to Fiscal 2005
Net Sales. Sales increased 7% in fiscal year 2006, reflecting higher revenues from the sales of content and operations management, including product lines acquired from nCUBE, which were included in our results for the full year of fiscal 2006 and for approximately six months during fiscal year 2005, and higher professional service sales. These higher revenues were partially offset by lower sales for products. Our largest customer for fiscal year 2006 was Time Warner Cable, accounting for 19% of net sales.
Broadband Systems Solutions segment sales increased 6% for fiscal year 2006. The sales of network products decreased 9%, which was attributable primarily to a decline in sales to international customers in Europe, Asia, and Latin America. We believe capital spending in international regions was constrained due to spending cycles, competition, and consolidation among communication providers. The sales of content and operations management systems increased 116% during fiscal year 2006 primarily from increased sales of systems and software applications for video on demand (VOD) products, derived from product lines acquired in our acquisition of nCUBE at the beginning the third quarter of fiscal year 2005. In addition, sales of operational support software (OSS) increased primarily for mobile workforce management and subscriber fulfillment solutions.
Network Services segment sales increased 95% during fiscal year 2006 resulting from an increase in network design revenues during the period.
Domestic sales of network products were relatively flat during fiscal year 2006. Domestic sales increased for VOD and certain OSS product lines during fiscal year 2006.
International sales decreased for fiscal year 2006 due primarily to lower network product sales in Europe, Asia, and Latin America, which were partially offset by increased revenues for our VOD products.

Consolidated | 36.9 | (4.3 | ) | 41.2 |
Consolidated gross margins decreased during fiscal year 2006, primarily due to lower gross margins for network products, which included an $8.6 million write-down in inventory associated with certain transport product lines, based on management’s assessment of market conditions for those products. In addition, lower volumes and product mix also contributed to the decline in gross margins. Network Services segment gross margins increased during fiscal year 2006 due to higher margins on certain professional service projects.
Selling and Administrative.Selling and administrative expenses were $65.4 million (31% of net sales) in fiscal year 2006, compared to $59.8 million (30% of net sales) in fiscal year 2005. Selling and administrative expenses increased 9% during fiscal year 2006 as a result of higher personnel and administrative expense associated with the acquisition of nCUBE, which were included in operating expenses for a full year during fiscal year 2006 compared to approximately six months during fiscal year 2005, and share-based compensation associated with the adoption of SFAS No. 123R — “Share-Based Payment” (Statement 123R), effective as of June 25, 2005.
Research and Product Development. Research and product development expenses were $38.2 million during fiscal year 2006 compared to $37.8 million during fiscal year 2005. Research and product development expenses increased for fiscal year 2006, primarily due to higher personnel costs resulting from the acquisition of nCUBE, which were included in operating expenses for a full year during fiscal year 2006 compared to approximately six months during fiscal year 2005.
Divestitures and Impairment Charges.During fiscal year 2006, we recognized total impairment charges of $7.0 million. An impairment loss of $5.3 million was recognized during the second quarter of fiscal year 2006 related to our decision to cease sales and marketing activities associated with certain transport product lines. The impairment charge was comprised of $5.0 million of other intangible assets associated with purchased technology and $342,000 associated with the write-down of property and equipment. The fair value of these assets was measured based on an estimate of discounted cash flows expected to result from the use and disposition of these assets.
On April 7, 2006, we divested our operation located in Mulgrave, Australia, in a sale of business transaction. The operation was included as part of our Broadband Systems Solutions segment. The terms of sale included a 1.5 million Australian dollar cash payment ($1.1 million United States dollars) for the business. We recorded an impairment of $1.7 million associated with a write-down in our investment in the business during fiscal year 2006.
On March 7, 2006, we divested our digital video product line, which was deemed to be a non-strategic product line, in a sale to Newfound Technologies Corporation, a privately held, Massachusetts-based supplier of electronic hardware. The sale included the Company’s DV 6000® series of products, which was included in our Broadband Systems Solutions product segment. The terms of sale included a $4.0 million cash payment, which was made up of an initial payment of $3.4 million and an installment receivable of $600,000, which was paid in three (3) quarterly installments of $200,000 each. Additional contingent cash consideration will be paid to us if

certain sales objectives are achieved in the twenty-five months immediately following March 7, 2006. The sale included the transfer of assets, primarily inventory and fixed assets and certain liabilities. We recorded a gain on sale of product line of $2.0 million.
Restructuring Charges.Restructuring charges were $6.6 million in fiscal year 2006 compared to restructuring charges of $993,000 in fiscal year 2005. During fiscal year 2006, we initiated a restructuring of our operations to reduce costs and maximize operational efficiency by relocating certain manufacturing operations from Wallingford, Connecticut to our Tijuana, Mexico facility as well as closing our Sunnyvale, California and Andover, Massachusetts facilities. The restructuring charges represented employee termination benefits associated with workforce reductions of 209 employees and lease commitment costs related to the closure and downsizing of these facilities. Restructuring charges in fiscal year 2005 related to contractual obligations associated with closing the Company’s Pleasanton, California location, as well as severance and termination benefits associated with transitioning our manufacturing operation in Klagenfurt, Austria to a contract manufacturer in the region.

Operating loss (excluding unallocated items) for the Broadband Systems Solutions segment increased for fiscal year 2006, compared to fiscal year 2005 due to lower revenues and gross margins, which included an $8.6 million write-down of inventory associated with certain transport product lines, as well as restructuring and impairment costs incurred during the period. Operating income (excluding unallocated items) for the Network Services segment increased for fiscal year 2006 compared to fiscal year 2005 due to higher revenues and increased gross margins.
Interest Expense and Investment Income.Interest expense was $1.4 million in fiscal year 2006 compared to $680,000 in fiscal year 2005. The increase in interest expense resulted primarily from interest payments and debt issuance costs associated with our 3.5% senior unsecured convertible notes issued on December 31, 2004 in the acquisition of nCUBE.
Investment income was $2.0 million in fiscal year 2006 compared to $1.3 million in fiscal year 2005. Investment income increased in fiscal year 2006, due to $393,000 of interest income received on proceeds from the sale of trade claims in the bankruptcy cases of Adelphia and affiliates, and higher investment returns compared to fiscal year 2005.
Gain on sale of bankruptcy trade claims. In October 2003, we sold substantially all of our pre-petition claims related to accounts receivables in the bankruptcy cases of Adelphia and affiliates.

As of June 29, 2007, cash and cash equivalents totaled $54.9 million, up from $44.7 million at June 30, 2006. Marketable securities increased to $53.5 million at June 29, 2007, from $16.3 million at June 30, 2006. We invest portions of our available cash in deposits with major banks, corporate obligations, municipal securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, mutual funds, variable rate demand notes, equity securities, and certificates of deposit of varying maturities. Our investment policy is to manage these assets to preserve principal, maintain adequate liquidity at all times and maximize returns subject to our investment guidelines.
The aggregate of our cash and cash equivalents and marketable securities increased as of June 29, 2007, primarily as a result of positive cash flow generated from operations during fiscal year 2007. Working capital was $133.0 million at June 29, 2007, compared to $76.4 million at June 30, 2006.
As of June 29, 2007, we had total restricted cash of $5.0 million. Restricted cash relates to commitments under the terms of our letter of credit agreement with a bank, where we are required to maintain cash collateral of 102% of the amount that can be drawn on issued letters of credit, as well as bank guarantees associated with certain vendor obligations. The restricted cash balances are classified in the consolidated balance sheet as either current or long-term, depending upon the expiration term associated with the commitment (see Note 20 to the Consolidated Financial Statements in Item 8 of this Form 10-K).
Operating Activities
Net cash provided by operating activities was $31.6 million in fiscal year 2007, compared with $6.9 million in fiscal year 2006. The major elements of cash provided by operations for fiscal year 2007 include net income for the period of $28.1 million, which is adjusted for non-cash items such as depreciation and amortization and share-based compensation, and an increase in accrued liabilities and deferred revenue during the period. These changes were partially offset by a decrease in accounts payable and increased inventory, accounts receivables and other assets during the period. The major elements of cash provided by operations for fiscal year 2006 included reductions of inventory and increases in accrued liabilities. In addition, we received $11.8 million in cash proceeds for the sale of trade claims in the bankruptcy cases of Adelphia and settlement of a litigation judgment that contributed to the increased cash position as of June 30, 2006. Offsetting the cash inflows were our net loss for the period and cash outflows primarily for reductions in accounts payable.

Investing Activities
Net cash used in investing activities was $34.9 million for fiscal year 2007, compared to cash used in investing activities of $639,000 for fiscal year 2006. The cash used in investing activities during fiscal year 2007 was comprised primarily of $72.6 million for purchases of marketable securities and $6.4 million for the purchase of property, plant, and equipment, which was partially offset by $36.3 million of proceeds from the sale of marketable securities, and $7.3 million for the sale of certain product lines and operations.
Financing Activities
Net cash provided by financing activities was $13.0 million for fiscal year 2007, compared to $1.5 million for fiscal year 2006. Cash provided by financing activities during fiscal year 2007 resulted primarily from $13.0 million in proceeds from the exercise of stock options and proceeds from the issuance of stock pursuant to our employee stock purchase plan and $447,000 of proceeds from financing arrangements, which were partially offset by payment of debt and capital lease obligations. The same elements contributed to cash provided by financing activities in fiscal year 2006.
During fiscal year 2007, we obtained $447,000 of additional financing through a financing company for the purchase of machinery and equipment. Monthly payments of principal and interest are required through fiscal year 2012. The borrowings under the financing agreement are collateralized by the equipment.
On November 1, 2006, we amended our credit agreement of November 5, 2004 (as amended, the “Agreement”) with a bank for a $10 million revolving letter of credit facility. Under the Agreement, the $10 million may be used solely for the issuance of letters of credit which must be fully cash collateralized at the time of issuance. We are required to maintain with the bank cash collateral of 102% of the amount that can be drawn on the issued letters of credit. This collateral can be drawn on upon the occurrence of any event of default under the Agreement. The Agreement contains standard event of default provisions, but no financial covenants. The Agreement is committed through November 3, 2007. The applicable margin under the Agreement is 0.65%, payable quarterly in arrears. In the event that a letter of credit is drawn upon, the interest rate for any unreimbursed drawing is the bank’s floating prime rate.
As of June 29, 2007, we have outstanding $35.0 million of 3.5% senior unsecured convertible notes (the “Notes”) due on December 31, 2009. The Notes were issued to fund part of the consideration for the nCUBE acquisition in fiscal year 2005. Interest on the Notes is payable semi-annually at the annual rate of 3.5% on June 30 and December 30. Each Note may be converted by the holder, at its option, into shares of our common stock at a conversion rate of 81.0905 shares per $1,000 of principal amount of the Note (as may be adjusted upon the occurrence of certain specified events). The Notes are convertible at any time before the close of business on the maturity date, unless we have previously repurchased the Notes.
In the event of a change of control of the Company, each holder of a Note shall have the right to require us to repurchase such holder’s Notes. Upon this repurchase, the holder of the Note shall receive the purchase price, which is set forth in the Notes and varies depending on the date of the repurchase and our stock price at the time of repurchase, together with any accrued but unpaid interest up to, but not including, the date of the repurchase. On any date on or after December 31, 2007, and prior to maturity, the Notes may be redeemed at our option, in whole or in part, at a redemption price equal to 100% of the principal amount of the Notes, together with any accrued but unpaid interest up to, but not including, the date of redemption.
The Notes are subject to customary events of default, the occurrence of which could lead to an acceleration of our obligations thereunder. The events of default include default on the payment of interest or principal on the Notes, our failure to convert the Notes upon exercise, our failure to provide notice to the holders of the Notes upon a change of control and the acceleration of the maturity of indebtedness of the Company or its subsidiaries in an aggregate amount of $20.0 million or more that is not rescinded, stayed or annulled within 30 days after written notice of default is provided by the lender of such indebtedness.

Working Capital Outlook
Our main source of liquidity is our unrestricted cash on hand and marketable securities.
Our $35.0 million aggregate principal amount of notes (the “Notes”), issued in December 2004, requires semi-annual interest payments at an annual rate of 3.5% on June 30 and December 30. The Notes mature on December 30, 2009. As of June 29, 2007, we had a restructuring accrual of $1.2 million which includes $210,000 related to employee termination benefits to be paid out over the first quarter of fiscal year 2008, and $958,000 related to contractual obligations for leased facilities and equipment, which will be paid over the respective lease terms through 2014, unless terminated earlier. In addition, additional amounts may be owed to third parties related to a portion of the proceeds we received from a litigation judgment. As of June 29, 2007, we had accrued $5.6 million associated with employee incentive compensation under the Company’s Fiscal Year 2007 Profit Incentive Plan which is expected to be paid in the first quarter of fiscal year 2008.
Taking into account the fixed charges associated with our long-term debt obligations, amounts that may be owed to third parties from proceeds received from the litigation judgment, restructuring accruals, and employee incentive compensation payments, we believe remaining cash and cash equivalents balances, and our marketable securities will be adequate to cover our operating cash requirements over the next 24 months. However, we may find it necessary or desirable to seek financing to support our capital needs and provide funds for additional strategic initiatives, including acquiring or investing in complementary businesses, products, services, or technologies. Accordingly, this may require third-party financing or equity-based financing, such as issuance of common stock, preferred stock, or subordinated convertible debt securities and warrants, which would be dilutive to existing shareholders. We do not currently have any committed lines of credit or other available credit facilities that could be utilized for capital requirements, and it is uncertain whether such facilities could be obtained in sufficient amounts or on acceptable terms.

Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 establishes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for income tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 also prescribes a two-step evaluation process for tax positions. The first step is recognition and the second is measurement. For recognition, an enterprise judgmentally determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is measured and recognized in the financial statements as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, no benefit is recognized in the financial statements.
Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date of FIN 48 may be recognized, or continue to be recognized, upon adoption of FIN 48. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 shall be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the fiscal year in which FIN 48 is adopted. FIN 48 will apply to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. We are currently evaluating the impact FIN 48 will have on our consolidated financial statements when it becomes effective for us in fiscal year 2008 and are unable, at this time, to quantify the impact, if any, on retained earnings at the time of adoption.
In September 2006, the FASB issued Statement of Financial Accounting Standards No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (“SFAS 157”) which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. SFAS 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. We are currently assessing SFAS No. 157 and have not yet determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS No. 157 will have on our results of operations and financial position when it becomes effective for us in fiscal year 2009.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (“SFAS 159”). SFAS 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value. The objective is to improve financial reporting by providing entities with the opportunity to mitigate volatility in reported earnings caused by measuring related assets and liabilities differently without having to apply complex hedge accounting provisions. SFAS 159 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007. We are currently assessing SFAS 159 and have not yet determined the impact that the adoption of SFAS 159 will have on our results of operations and financial position.
Item 7A. | Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk |
Market risk represents the risk of loss that may impact the financial position, results of operations, or cash flow of the Company due to adverse changes in market prices, foreign currency exchange rates, and interest rates. The Company is exposed to market risk because of changes in foreign currency exchange rates and interest rates, and changes in the fair market value of its marketable securities portfolio.
The Company is exposed to foreign currency exchange rate risks inherent in its sales commitments, anticipated sales, and assets and liabilities denominated in currencies other than the United States dollar. We attempt to minimize exposure to currencies by managing our operating activities and net asset positions. As of June 29, 2007, our exposure to foreign currencies related primarily to intercompany foreign currency transactions

where settlement is anticipated. Historically, we have not hedged these specific currency exposures as gains and losses on foreign currency transactions have not been material to date.
The Company does not use derivative instruments in its marketable securities portfolio. The Company classifies its investments in its marketable securities portfolio as either available-for-sale or trading, and records them at fair value. For the Company’s available-for-sale securities, unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from income and are recorded directly to shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income, net of related deferred income taxes, if applicable. For the Company’s trading securities, unrealized holding gains and losses are included in the statement of operations in the period they arise. Changes in interest rates are not expected to have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
C-COR Incorporated:
We have audited C-COR Incorporated’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 29, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO). C-COR Incorporated’s management is responsible for maintaining effective internal control over financial reporting and for its assessment of the effectiveness of internal control over financial reporting, included in the accompanying Management’s Report on Internal Control Over Financial Reporting. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on the Company’s internal control over financial reporting based on our audit.
We conducted our audit in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether effective internal control over financial reporting was maintained in all material respects. Our audit included obtaining an understanding of internal control over financial reporting, assessing the risk that a material weakness exists, and testing and evaluating the design and operating effectiveness of internal control based on the assessed risk. Our audit also included performing such other procedures as we considered necessary in the circumstances. We believe that our audit provides a reasonable basis for our opinion.
A company’s internal control over financial reporting is a process designed to provide reasonable assurance regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external purposes in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. A company’s internal control over financial reporting includes those policies and procedures that (1) pertain to the maintenance of records that, in reasonable detail, accurately and fairly reflect the transactions and dispositions of the assets of the company; (2) provide reasonable assurance that transactions are recorded as necessary to permit preparation of financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, and that receipts and expenditures of the company are being made only in accordance with authorizations of management and directors of the company; and (3) provide reasonable assurance regarding prevention or timely detection of unauthorized acquisition, use, or disposition of the company’s assets that could have a material effect on the financial statements.
Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
In our opinion, C-COR Incorporated maintained, in all material respects, effective internal control over financial reporting as of June 29, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO).
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), the consolidated balance sheets of C-COR Incorporated and subsidiaries as of June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended June 29, 2007, and our report dated September 11, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on those consolidated financial statements.

Report of Independent Registered Public Accounting Firm
The Board of Directors and Stockholders
C-COR Incorporated:
We have audited the accompanying consolidated balance sheets of C-COR Incorporated and subsidiaries as of June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, and the related consolidated statements of operations, cash flows, and shareholders’ equity for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended June 29, 2007. In connection with our audits of the consolidated financial statements, we also have audited the financial statement schedule. These consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule are the responsibility of the Company’s management. Our responsibility is to express an opinion on these consolidated financial statements and financial statement schedule based on our audits.
We conducted our audits in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States). Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation. We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.
In our opinion, the consolidated financial statements referred to above present fairly, in all material respects, the financial position of C-COR Incorporated and subsidiaries as of June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, and the results of their operations and their cash flows for each of the three fiscal years in the period ended June 29, 2007, in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. Also in our opinion, the related financial statement schedule, when considered in relation to the basic consolidated financial statements taken as a whole, presents fairly, in all material respects, the information set forth therein.
As discussed in Note 2 to the consolidated financial statements, the Company changed its method of accounting for stock-based compensation on June 25, 2005.
We also have audited, in accordance with the standards of the Public Company Accounting Oversight Board (United States), C-COR Incorporated’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 29, 2007, based on criteria established in Internal Control—Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (COSO), and our report dated September 11, 2007 expressed an unqualified opinion on the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Note 2. Summary of Significant Accounting Policies
Principles of Consolidation
The accompanying consolidated financial statements include the accounts of the Company and its wholly owned foreign and domestic subsidiaries. Intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated in consolidation.
Basis of Presentation
During the fourth quarter of fiscal year 2007, the Company sold certain assets and liabilities related to the Company’s field services business which was a component of its Network Services business segment. In accordance with Statement of Financial Accounting Standards (SFAS) No. 144 (Statement 144) “Accounting for the Impairment or Disposal of Long-Lived Assets,” the field services operations were classified as discontinued operations for all periods presented.
Fiscal Years
Management has adopted a fiscal year that ends on the last Friday in June. For reporting periods presented herein, the periods ended on June 29, 2007, June 30, 2006 and June 24, 2005. These fiscal years contained 52, 53 and 52 weeks, respectively.
Use of Estimates
The preparation of financial statements in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of revenues and expenses during the reporting period. Estimates are used in
50
Table of Contents
determining such items as allowances, depreciation and amortization lives, allocation of revenue in multiple element arrangements, valuation of intangible assets and goodwill, forfeitures associated with share-based compensation, and amounts recorded for contingencies and other reserves. Future events and their effects cannot be predicted with certainty; accordingly, the Company’s accounting estimates require the exercise of judgment by management. The accounting estimates used in the preparation of the consolidated financial statements will change as new events occur, as more experience is acquired, as additional information is obtained and as the Company’s operating environment changes. Actual results could differ from those estimates.
Fair Value of Financial Instruments
The carrying amounts of the Company’s financial instruments, including cash, cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities, approximate their respective fair market values due to the short maturities of these financial instruments. The value of the Company’s senior unsecured convertible debt issued on December 31, 2004 and the Company’s other long-term borrowings approximates fair value based on market prices for debt instruments of similar terms and comparable maturities. The fair value of the Company’s marketable securities is determined through information obtained from quoted market sources.
Reclassifications and Revisions
Certain prior year amounts in the financial statements and notes have been reclassified or revised to conform to the fiscal year 2007 presentation.
The June 30, 2006 consolidated balance sheet has been revised to reflect a reclassification of $8,621 from cash and cash equivalents to marketable securities due to certain securities having an original maturity greater than three months. This revision affected the consolidated statement of cash flows for fiscal years ended June 30, 2006 and June 24, 2005. This revision did not affect the consolidated statement of operations for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2006 and June 24, 2005.
The impact of reclassifications and revisions on the previously issued consolidated balance sheets and statements of cash flows were as follows:

Table of Contents
Cash, Cash Equivalents, and Marketable Securities
The Company invests its excess cash in deposits with major banks, commercial paper, corporate obligations, municipal securities, collateralized mortgage obligations, asset-backed securities, mutual funds, variable rate demand notes, equity securities, and certificates of deposit. By policy, the Company invests primarily in high-grade marketable securities. The Company is exposed to credit risk in the event of default by the financial institutions or issuers of these investments to the extent of amounts recorded on the consolidated balance sheet.
The Company considers all highly liquid investments with a maturity of three months or less when purchased to be cash equivalents, which are reflected at the lower of cost or market.
The Company classifies its marketable securities portfolios as either available-for-sale or trading, and records them at fair value. For the Company’s available-for-sale securities, unrealized holding gains and losses are excluded from the statement of operations and are recorded directly to shareholders’ equity in accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), net of related deferred income taxes, if applicable. For the Company’s trading securities, unrealized holding gains and losses are included in the statement of operations in the period they arise. The Company classifies marketable securities that are available for current operations as a current asset. Marketable securities that are classified as non-current assets represent investments that are available to fund certain long-term liabilities.
Allowance for Doubtful Accounts
The Company establishes a general allowance for doubtful accounts based on percentages applied to certain aged receivable categories. These percentages are determined by a variety of factors including, but not limited to, current economic trends, contractual terms and conditions, and historical payment experience. In addition, the Company establishes allowances for specifically identified doubtful accounts for the amount deemed worthless when a loss is determined to be both probable and estimable.
Inventories
Inventories include material, labor, and overhead and are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost is determined primarily on the first-in, first-out method. For certain of the Company’s inventories, cost is determined using a weighted-average cost. The value of inventory determined using a weighted-average cost method was $119 and $153 at June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. In assessing the ultimate realization of inventories, the Company is required to make estimates regarding future events in an industry where rapid technological changes are prevalent. Provisions are established for excess and obsolete inventories after evaluation of historical sales and usage, current economic trends, market conditions, product rationalization, forecasted sales, product lifecycles, and current inventory levels.
Property, Plant and Equipment
Property, plant, and equipment, which include leased property under capital leases, are stated at cost. Depreciation or amortization is calculated on the straight-line method for financial statement purposes based upon the following estimated useful lives:
Buildings | 10 to 25 years | |
Machinery and equipment under capital lease | 2 to 5 years | |
Machinery and equipment | 2 to 10 years | |
Leasehold improvements | 2 to 15 years |
Computer Software
Under the provisions of AICPA Statement of Position SOP 98-1, “Accounting for the Costs of Computer Software Developed or Obtained for Internal Use” (SOP 98-1), the Company capitalizes costs associated with
52
Table of Contents
internally developed and/or purchased software systems for new products and enhancements to existing products that have reached the application development stage and meet recoverability tests. Capitalized costs include external direct costs of materials and services utilized in developing or obtaining internal-use software and payroll and payroll-related expenses for employees who are directly associated with and devote time to the internal-use software project. Capitalization of such costs begins when the preliminary project stage is complete and ceases no later than the point at which the project is substantially complete and ready for its intended purpose. These capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over periods of two to seven years, beginning when the asset is ready for its intended use.
Software costs capitalized under SOP 98-1 were $995, $1,711, and $1,040 during fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively. Capitalized costs are included in property, plant, and equipment on the consolidated balance sheets. Amortization expense for fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $1,607, $1,793, and $1,612, respectively. The carrying value of the software is reviewed regularly and impairment is recognized if the value of the estimated undiscounted cash flow benefits related to the asset is less than the remaining unamortized costs.
Goodwill and Other Intangible Assets
Goodwill represents the excess of acquisition cost over the fair value of the net assets, including identifiable intangible assets, of businesses acquired (see Note 10).
Other intangible assets represent purchased intangible assets, which include purchased technology, customer relationships, covenants not-to-compete, patents and trademarks. Amounts allocated to other identifiable intangible assets are amortized on a straight-line basis over their estimated useful lives as follows:
Purchased technology | 3 to 5 years | |
Customer relationships | 3 to 5 years | |
Covenants not-to-compete | 1 to 2 years | |
Patents and trademarks | 3 years |
The weighted-average life remaining of the Company’s identifiable intangible assets as of June 29, 2007 was 7 months.
Convertible Debt
The Company accounts for the issuance of its convertible debt in accordance with SFAS No. 133, “Accounting for Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities” (Statement 133), Statement 133 Implementation Guidance Issue No. B-16, APB No. 14, “Accounting for Convertible Debt and Debt Issued with Stock Purchase Warrants”, Emerging Issues Task Force (“EITF”) No. 00-27, “Application of Issue No. 98-5 to Certain Convertible Instruments” (“EITF No. 00-27”), and EITF No. 98-5, “Accounting for Convertible Securities with Beneficial Conversion Features or Contingently Adjustable Conversion Ratios” (“EITF No. 98-5”). The Company recorded no discount or premium on the convertible debt, which would require amortization over the life of the notes. The Company determined there was no beneficial conversion feature that would require a separate valuation of fair value of the conversion feature. The conversion and call features were determined not to be derivatives. The put feature was determined to be an embedded derivative, the fair value of which was determined to be $0, at June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006. Transaction expenses were treated as debt issuance costs in accordance with APB No. 21, “Interest on Receivables and Payables” and are being amortized over the life of the notes.
Comprehensive Income (Loss)
The components of comprehensive income (loss) include net income (loss), foreign currency translation gains (losses) and unrealized gains (losses) on available-for-sale securities, net of tax, if applicable. Comprehensive income (loss) is presented in the consolidated statements of shareholders’ equity.

Revenue Recognition
The Company recognizes revenue when persuasive evidence of an arrangement exists, delivery has occurred or services have been rendered, the sale price is fixed or determinable, and collectibility is reasonably assured.
Products:Revenue from product sales and sales-type leases is recognized based upon delivery terms. Revenue is recognized when the equipment has been shipped to the customer when delivery terms are origin-based (e.g., FOB Shipping Point and Ex-works). When delivery terms are destination-based (e.g., FOB Destination, Delivery duty unpaid (DDU) and Delivery duty paid (DDP)), revenue is recognized upon the delivery of the equipment. In instances in which payments are received upon product delivery and the agreement with the customer contains a customer acceptance clause, revenue recognition is deferred until customer acceptance is obtained. Deferred revenue recorded under these arrangements was $0 and $78 at June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
Content and Operations Management Systems:Content and operations management systems revenue consists of equipment and application software sales of video on demand systems, digital advertising insertion systems, operational support systems and related post contract support (PCS) services. Software and associated system product revenues are recognized based on the guidance of AICPA Statement of Position (SOP) 97-2, “Software Revenue Recognition” (SOP 97-2), as amended. In multiple element arrangements, the Company allocates revenue to the various elements based on vendor-specific objective evidence (VSOE) of fair value. The Company’s VSOE of fair value is determined based on the price charged when the same element is sold separately. If VSOE of fair value does not exist for all elements in a multiple element arrangement, revenue recognition is deferred until all elements without VSOE are delivered, at which time the Company applies the residual method. Under the residual method, if VSOE exists for the undelivered element (PCS), the fair value of the undelivered element is deferred and recognized ratably over the term of the PCS contract, and the remaining portion of the arrangement is recognized as revenue upon delivery, which generally occurs on completion of implementation of the system.
For certain of our software license arrangements where professional services are being provided and are deemed to be essential to the functionality or are for significant production, modification, or customization of the software product, both the software and the associated professional service revenue are recognized in accordance with the provisions of ARB 45 and SOP 81-1. Many of these software and professional services arrangements are recognized using the completed-contract method as the Company does not have the ability to reasonably estimate contract costs at the inception of the contracts. Under the completed-contract method, revenue is recognized when the contract is complete, and all direct costs and related revenues are deferred until that time. The Company recognizes software license and associated professional services revenue for one of its software license products (mobile workforce management) using the percentage-of-completion method of accounting as the Company believes that its estimates of costs to complete and extent of progress toward completion of such contracts are reliable. The entire amount of an estimated loss on a contract is accrued at the time a loss on a contract is projected. Actual losses may differ from these estimates.
Software maintenance and support services fees are generally billed and collected in advance of the associated maintenance contract term. Maintenance and support services fees collected are recorded as deferred revenue and recognized ratably under the straight-line method over the term of the contract. Unbilled receivables totaled $31 and $534 at June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
Deferred revenue represents amounts billed and totaled $36,363 and $22,301 at June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. Contract costs related to deferred revenue consist primarily of direct labor and applicable benefits, travel and other direct costs, and equipment costs. Deferred costs under these contracts were $8,476 and $4,555 as of June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
Services:Service revenues, consisting of system design, professional services, and consulting engagements, are recognized as services are rendered in accordance with the terms of contracts. At times, the Company enters into multiple element contracts that entail delivery of both products and services. These contracts are accounted
54
Table of Contents
for under the percentage of completion method in accordance with the provisions of Accounting Research Bulletin No. 45, “Long-Term Construction-Type Contracts” (ARB No. 45) using the relevant guidance in AICPA Statement of Position 81-1, “Accounting for Performance of Construction-Type and Certain Production-Type Contracts” (SOP 81-1). Under the percentage-of-completion method, for certain contracts the Company records revenue by reference to the costs incurred to date and the estimated costs remaining to fulfill the contracts. For other contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, revenue and costs are recognized on the units of delivery method. This method recognizes as revenue the contract price of units of the product delivered during each period and the costs allocable to the delivered units as the related cost of sales. Provisions for losses on service contracts are recognized in the period in which the loss first becomes apparent. For contracts accounted for under the percentage-of-completion method, the Company typically performs the service prior to billing the customer which gives rise to unbilled receivables. In these circumstances, billings usually occur shortly after the Company performs specific increments of work, as outlined in the contract. Unbilled receivables are expected to be billed and collected generally within three to six months. Unbilled receivables totaled $2,237 and $2,774 at June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. Deferred revenue recorded under contracts was $63 and $0 at June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
Taxes Assessed by a Government Authority on Revenue-Producing Transactions
In June 2006, the Emerging Issues Task Force (EITF) reached a consensus on EITF Issue No. 06-03, “How Taxes Collected from Customers and Remitted to Governmental Authorities Should Be Presented in the Income Statement (That Is, Gross Versus Net Presentation)” (EITF 06-03). The consensus provides that the presentation of taxes assessed by a governmental authority that are directly imposed on revenue-producing transactions between a seller and a customer on either a gross basis (included in revenues and costs) or on a net basis (excluded from revenues) is an accounting policy decision that should be disclosed. The Company records taxes within the scope of EITF 06-03 on a net basis.
Shipping and Handling Costs
The Company classifies out-bound shipping and handling costs as a component of selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Shipping and handling costs included in selling and administrative expense for fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005 were $3,489, $2,448, and $2,784, respectively.
Foreign Currency Translation
Where a currency other than the United States dollar is the functional currency, the Company converts the assets and liabilities of foreign operations to their United States dollar equivalents at rates in effect at the balance sheet dates, and records translation adjustments in shareholders’ equity. Where the United States dollar is the functional currency, the Company converts the assets and liabilities of foreign operations to their United States dollar equivalents at rates in effect at the balance sheet dates, and records translation adjustments in the consolidated statements of operations. Statements of operations of foreign operations are translated from the entity’s functional currency to United States dollar equivalents at average rates for the period. Foreign currency transaction gains and losses, including those resulting from settlement of foreign receivables and payables, and certain cross-currency intercompany activities where payment is expected to be satisfied in the normal course of business, are recorded in the consolidated statements of operations. Other cross-currency intercompany activities, where management has no intent to require payment in the foreseeable future, are recorded in shareholders’ equity as a component of other comprehensive income (loss).
Advertising
The Company expenses advertising costs in the period incurred. Advertising expense is classified as a component of selling and administrative expenses in the consolidated statements of operations. Advertising expense included in selling and administrative expense for fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005 was $1,894, $2,624, and $3,739, respectively.
55
Table of Contents
Income Taxes
Income taxes are accounted for under the asset and liability method. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are recognized for the future tax consequences attributable to differences between the financial statement carrying amounts of existing assets and liabilities and their respective tax bases and operating loss and tax credit carryforwards for each jurisdiction in which the Company operates. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are measured using enacted tax rates expected to apply to taxable income in the years in which those temporary differences are expected to be recovered or settled. The effect on deferred tax assets and liabilities of a change in tax rates is recognized in income in the period that includes the enactment date. The Company provides a valuation allowance for deferred tax assets based on an assessment of whether it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax assets will not be realized. No provision for domestic income tax or foreign withholding tax is made on earnings of foreign operations that are considered to be permanently reinvested in the business.
Product Warranty
The Company warrants its products against defects in materials and workmanship, generally for one to five years, depending upon product lines and geographic regions. A provision for estimated future costs related to warranty activities is recorded when the product is shipped, based upon the Company’s historical experience of known product failure rates and historical costs incurred in correcting product failures. In addition, from time to time, the recorded amount is adjusted for specifically identified warranty exposures if unforeseen technical problems arise.
Share-Based Compensation
The Company adopted SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (Statement 123R) as of June 25, 2005, which requires the Company to measure compensation cost for all outstanding unvested share-based awards at fair value and recognize compensation over the service period for awards expected to vest. The Company uses the Black-Scholes closed form option-pricing model (Black-Scholes) for purposes of determining estimated fair value of share-based payment awards on the date of grant under Statement 123R. The Black-Scholes model requires certain assumptions that involve judgment. Because changes in assumptions can materially affect the fair value estimate, the existing model may not provide a reliable single measure of the fair value of the Company’s share-based payment awards. Management will continue to assess the assumptions and methodologies used to calculate estimated fair value of share-based compensation. Circumstances may change and additional data may become available over time, which could result in changes to these assumptions and methodologies and thereby materially impact management’s fair value determination. If factors change and the Company employs different assumptions in the application of Statement 123R in future periods, the compensation expense that the Company records under Statement 123R may differ significantly from what has been recorded in the current period. The Company elected to adopt the alternative transition method provided for under SFAS 123(R)-3 to establish the initial pool of excess tax benefits, which would be available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of Statement 123R. The pool of excess tax benefits was determined to be zero as of the date of adoption.
Prior to June 25, 2005, the Company accounted for stock-based awards under the intrinsic value method, which followed the recognition and measurement principles of APB 25, and related Interpretations. The intrinsic value method of accounting resulted in compensation expense for stock options to the extent option exercise prices were set below market prices on the date of grant. To the extent stock awards were forfeited prior to vesting, the corresponding previously recognized expense was reversed as an offset to operating expenses.

Had the Company adopted Statement 123R for fiscal year ended June 24, 2005, the impact of that standard would have approximated the impact of Statement 123 in the disclosure of pro forma net loss and net loss per share described as follows:

Contingencies:
The Company is subject to certain claims and pending or threatened litigation that arise in the ordinary course of our business. The Company assesses the likelihood of any adverse judgments or outcomes as well as potential ranges of probable losses. The Company records accruals for loss contingencies when it is probable that a liability has been incurred and the amount of loss can be reasonably estimated. Contingencies that might result in a gain are not accrued before they are realized.
Accounting Pronouncements
In June 2006, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued FASB Interpretation No. 48, “Accounting for Uncertainty in Income Taxes” (“FIN 48”). FIN 48 establishes a recognition threshold and measurement attribute for income tax positions recognized in an enterprise’s financial statements in accordance with FASB Statement No. 109, “Accounting for Income Taxes.” FIN 48 also prescribes a two-step evaluation process for tax positions. The first step is recognition and the second is measurement. For recognition, an enterprise judgmentally determines whether it is more-likely-than-not that a tax position will be sustained upon examination, including resolution of related appeals or litigation processes, based on the technical merits of the position. If the tax position meets the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, it is measured and recognized in the financial statements as the largest amount of tax benefit that is greater than 50% likely of being realized. If a tax position does not meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold, no benefit is recognized in the financial statements.
Tax positions that meet the more-likely-than-not recognition threshold at the effective date of FIN 48 may be recognized or, continue to be recognized, upon adoption of FIN 48. The cumulative effect of applying the provisions of FIN 48 is required to be reported as an adjustment to the opening balance of retained earnings for the fiscal year in which FIN 48 is adopted. FIN 48 will apply to fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2006. The Company is currently evaluating the impact FIN 48 will have on its consolidated financial statements when it becomes effective for the Company in its fiscal year 2008 and is unable, at this time, to quantify the impact, if any, on the Company’s retained earnings at the time of adoption.
In September 2006, the FASB issued SFAS No. 157, “Fair Value Measurements” (Statement 157), which defines fair value, establishes a framework for measuring fair value in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles and expands disclosures about fair value measurements. Statement 157 is effective for financial statements issued for fiscal years beginning after November 15, 2007 and interim periods within those fiscal years. Earlier application is encouraged provided that the reporting entity has not yet issued financial statements for that fiscal year
57
Table of Contents
including financial statements for an interim period within that fiscal year. The Company is currently assessing Statement No. 157 and has not yet determined the impact that the adoption of Statement No. 157 will have on its results of operations and financial position when it becomes effective for the Company in fiscal year 2009.
In February 2007, the FASB issued SFAS No. 159, “The Fair Value Option for Financial Assets and Financial Liabilities” (Statement 159). Statement 159 permits entities to choose to measure many financial instruments and certain other items at fair value.

Shareholder Rights Plan:
The Company has a shareholder rights plan intended to preserve the long-term value of the Company for its shareholders by discouraging a hostile takeover. Under the shareholder rights plan, each outstanding share of the Company’s common stock has an associated preferred share purchase right. The rights are exercisable only if a person or group acquires 20% or more of the Company’s outstanding common stock. If the rights became exercisable, the rights would allow their holders (other than the acquiring person or group) to purchase one one-hundredth of a share of Series A Junior Participating Preferred Stock (Preferred Stock), no par value per share, of the Company at a price of $150.00 per one one-hundredth of a share of Preferred Stock, subject to adjustment. The dilutive effect of the rights on the acquiring person or group is intended to encourage such person or group to negotiate with the Company’s Board of Directors.
Treasury Stock:
At June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, 3,595,036 shares of common stock are being held by the Company as treasury stock and are available to be used in meeting the Company’s obligations under its present and future stock option plans and for other corporate purposes. In addition, shares of the Company’s common stock purchased under a non-qualified deferred compensation arrangement, held in a Rabbi Trust, have been presented in a manner similar to treasury stock. As of June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, 49,944 shares and 50,010 shares, respectively, were held in the Rabbi Trust.
Income (Loss) Per Share from Continuing Operations:
Basic income (loss) per share from continuing operations is computed by dividing net income (loss) from continuing operations by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding. Diluted income (loss) from continuing operations per share is computed by dividing income (loss) from continuing operations by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding and potential common shares outstanding. Potential common shares result from the assumed exercise of outstanding stock options and warrants having a dilutive effect calculated under the treasury stock method using the average market price for the period and from the potential conversion of the Company’s 3.5% senior unsecured convertible notes, calculated under the if-converted method. In addition, in computing the dilutive effect of the convertible notes, the income (loss) from continuing operations is adjusted to add back the after-tax amount of interest and amortized debt issuance costs recognized in the period associated with the senior unsecured convertible notes. Any potential shares that are antidilutive are excluded from the effect of dilutive securities.

Note 15. Share-Based Compensation
Prior to June 25, 2005, the Company accounted for employee stock option plans based on the intrinsic value method in accordance with Accounting Principles Board Opinion No. 25 (APB 25), “Accounting for Stock Issued to Employees,” and related Interpretations and had adopted the disclosure requirements of SFAS No. 123, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation” (Statement 123), as amended by SFAS No. 148, “Accounting for Stock-Based Compensation—Transition and Disclosure” (Statement 148). Accordingly, compensation cost for stock options was measured as the excess, if any, of the quoted market price of the Company’s stock at the grant date over the amount an employee must pay to acquire the stock. Stock options granted by the Company to employees and directors were generally at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant.
In December 2004, Statement 123 was revised. The Financial Accounting Standards Board (FASB) issued Statement 123R to require that compensation cost relating to share-based payment transactions be recognized in all financial statements. As of June 25, 2005, the Company adopted Statement 123R using the modified prospective method, which requires measurement of compensation cost for all share-based awards at fair value on date of grant and recognition of compensation over the expected service period for awards expected to vest. The fair value of stock options was determined using the Black-Scholes valuation model, which is consistent with the Company’s valuation techniques previously utilized for stock options in footnote disclosures required under Statement 123, as amended by Statement 148.
Effect of Adoption of Statement 123R
Statement 123R resulted in a change in the Company’s method of measuring and recognizing the fair value of stock options and estimating of forfeitures for all unvested awards. Prior to the adoption of Statement 123R, the Company used the nominal vesting period approach for retirement eligible employees. Using this approach, the Company included in its Statement 123 disclosures compensation cost for share-based awards granted prior
69
Table of Contents
to June 25, 2005 over the stated vesting period for retirement eligible employees and, if an employee retired before the end of the vesting period, the Company included any remaining unrecognized compensation cost at the date of retirement. For stock options granted prior to April 13, 2004, employees were retirement eligible when employed by the Company for at least five years and were at least 55 years old. For stock options granted on or after April 13, 2004, employees are retirement eligible when employed by the Company for at least five years and have a combination of age and service of sixty years or greater.
As a result of adopting Statement 123R, the Company changed its accounting for recognizing compensation expense for new share-based awards granted to retirement eligible employees. For all share-based awards granted on or after June 25, 2005, Statement 123R requires that the Company use the non-substantive vesting period approach to recognize compensation cost for retirement eligible employees over the period from the date of grant to the date retirement eligibility is achieved, if that is expected to occur during the nominal vesting period. Had the Company also applied the non-substantive vesting period approach to awards granted prior to the adoption date, compensation expense would have been $302 and $265 lower for fiscal years 2007 and 2006, respectively.
The adoption of Statement 123R resulted in no cumulative effect of change in accounting principle, as of the date of adoption.
Classification of Share-Based Compensation Expense
On March 29, 2005, the Securities and Exchange Commission published Staff Accounting Bulletin No. 107 (SAB 107), which provides the Staff’s views on a variety of matters relating to share-based payments. SAB 107 requires share-based compensation to be classified in the same expense line items as cash compensation. Information about share-based compensation included in the results of operations for fiscal years ended June 29, 2007, June 30, 2006 and June 24, 2005 is as follows:

Tax Effect Related to Share-Based Compensation Expense
Statement 123R provides that income tax effects of share-based payments are recognized in the financial statements for those awards which will normally result in tax deductions under existing tax law. Under current U.S. federal tax law, the Company would receive a compensation expense deduction related to non-qualified stock options only when those options are exercised. Accordingly, the financial statement recognition of compensation cost for non-qualified stock options creates a deductible temporary difference which results in a deferred tax asset and a corresponding deferred tax benefit in the income statement.
As discussed in Note 18, management has evaluated the deferred tax assets and, based on all available evidence, determined that it is more likely than not that some portion or all of the deferred tax asset will not be realized. Therefore, the Company has recognized a valuation allowance against substantially all deferred tax
70
Table of Contents
assets. The valuation allowance has the effect of eliminating the deferred tax benefit in the consolidated statement of operations. Consequently, the Company did not recognize any net income tax benefit related to share-based compensation expense for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2007.
Valuation Assumptions for Stock Options Granted
The fair value of each stock option granted was estimated at the date of grant using a Black-Scholes closed form option-pricing model (Black-Scholes), assuming no dividends and using the following weighted average valuation assumptions:
For the Year Ended | |||||||||
June 29, 2007 | June 30, 2006 | June 24, 2005 | |||||||
Expected Term | 4.2 years | 4.2 years | 4.0 years | ||||||
Risk-free Interest Rate | 5.11 | % | 3.86 | % | 3.23 | % | |||
Expected Volatility | 59.0 | % | 63.3 | % | 79.3 | % |
The option term of each award granted is based on the Company’s historical and expected experience of employees’ exercise behavior. Expected volatilities are based on implied volatilities from recently traded options on the Company’s common stock and historical volatility of the Company’s common stock. The weighted average expected volatility was weighted evenly for both implied and historical volatility. Risk free interest rate reflects the yield on the zero coupon U.S. Treasury in effect at the time of grant based on the expected term of the option.
The above assumptions were used to determine the weighted average per share fair value of $4.25, $3.58, and $5.31 for stock options granted during the fiscal year ended June 29, 2007, June 30, 2006, and June 24, 2005, respectively.
Statement of Cash Flows Impact of SFAS 123R
Prior to the adoption of SFAS 123R, cash retained as a result of tax deductions relating to stock-based compensation was presented in operating cash flows, along with other tax cash flows, in accordance with the provisions of EITF Issue No. 00-15, “Classification in the Statement of Cash Flows of the Income Tax Benefit Received by a Company upon Exercise of a Nonqualified Employee Stock Option.” SFAS 123R supersedes EITF 00-15, amends SFAS 95, “Statement of Cash Flows,” and requires tax benefits relating to excess share-based compensation deductions to be prospectively presented in the statement of cash flows as financing cash inflows.
Cash received from stock option exercises for the fiscal year June 29, 2007 was $12,878. Due to the Company’s available net operating loss carryforwards, no tax benefit was realized in the current period from these stock option exercises.
Stock Award Plans
The Company has an Incentive Plan (the Incentive Plan), which provides for several types of equity-based incentive compensation awards. Awards, when made, may be in the form of stock options, restricted shares, performance shares and performance units. Stock options granted to employees and directors are at a price not less than 100% of the fair market value of such shares on the date of grant. Stock options granted to employees generally begin vesting in cumulative annual installments of 25% per year beginning one year after the date of grant. Options granted to non-employee directors are generally exercisable one year after grant.
The Company’s primary type of share-based compensation consists of non-qualified stock options issued under its Incentive Plan. The total number of remaining shares authorized to be granted under all share-based plans is 2,375,337. The Company funds shares issued upon exercise out of available authorized shares.

Unvested at June 29, 2007 | 1,585,260 | $ | 4.49 | |||
As of June 29, 2007, there was $4,250 of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested share-based compensation arrangements related to stock options granted under the Plan. That cost is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.99 years.
Note 16. Retirement Plans
The Company has retirement savings and profit sharing plans that qualify under Section 401(k) of the Internal Revenue Code. Participation is available to all employees meeting minimum service requirements.
The Company has a deferred compensation plan that does not qualify under Section 401 of the Internal Revenue Code, which is available to officers and key executives. The total of net employee and employer deferrals, which is reflected in other long-term liabilities, was $2,715 and $2,090 at June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively.
The total expenses included in continuing operations for the qualified retirement savings and profit sharing plans and the non-qualified deferred compensation plan were $2,410, $2,543, and $1,868 for fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.
The Company also has a deferred retirement salary plan, which is limited to certain officers. The present value of the estimated future retirement benefit payments is being accrued over the estimated service period from the date of signed agreements with the employees. The accrued balance of this plan, the majority of which is included in other long-term liabilities, was $1,658 and $1,354 at June 29, 2007 and June 30, 2006, respectively. Total expenses included in continuing operations for the deferred retirement salary plan were $499, $426, and $134 for fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.

dependent on future taxable income against which these deductions, net operating losses and tax credits can be utilized. Historical operating losses, scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income and tax planning strategies are considered in making this assessment
As a result of cumulative losses the Company incurred in prior years, management previously recorded a valuation allowance against net deferred tax assets. The Company expects to maintain the valuation allowance on deferred tax assets until it can sustain a level of profitability in the applicable tax jurisdictions that demonstrates its ability to utilize these assets. As of June 29, 2007, a valuation allowance on substantially all of the deferred tax assets remains, except in certain foreign jurisdictions where the Company has been consistently profitable.
Subsequently recognized tax benefits relating to the valuation allowance for deferred tax assets as of June 29, 2007 will be allocated as follows:
Income tax benefit that would be reported in the consolidated statement of operations | $ | 76,904 | |
Additional paid-in capital | 6,671 | ||
Goodwill, or other noncurrent intangible assets of an acquired entity | 10,141 | ||

At June 29, 2007, the Company had federal net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $100,613, state net operating loss carryforwards of approximately $91,520, and foreign net operating losses of approximately $43,174, which are available to offset future federal, state, and foreign taxable income, if any, and expire at various dates through fiscal year 2026; except for foreign net operating loss carryforwards of $22,994 that have an indefinite carryforward period. In addition, at June 29, 2007, the Company had research and development credit carryovers for federal and state income tax purposes of approximately $2,832 and $151, respectively. The federal credit carryforwards expire through 2024, and the state carryforwards can be carried forward indefinitely. The Company also had a federal alternative minimum tax credit of $1,194 at June 29, 2007, which has an indefinite carryforward period.
Income taxes are not provided on the unremitted earnings of the Company’s foreign subsidiaries where such earnings have been indefinitely reinvested in its foreign operations. In future periods, deferred tax liabilities for domestic income tax and foreign withholding tax will be recognized for basis differences and undistributed earnings of foreign subsidiaries when the Company no longer intends to permanently reinvest such unremitted earnings. Unremitted earnings were approximately $6,876 at June 29, 2007.
Cash paid for income taxes was $402, $38, and $1,191 in fiscal years 2007, 2006, and 2005, respectively.
In November 2005, the FASB issued Staff Position (“FSP”) FAS123(R)-3, “Transition Election to Accounting for the Tax Effects of Share-Based Payment Awards”. This FSP requires an entity to follow either the transition guidance for the additional-paid-in-capital pool as prescribed in SFAS No. 123(R), “Share-Based Payment” (“SFAS 123(R)”), or the alternative transition method as described in the FSP. An entity that adopts SFAS 123(R) using the modified prospective application may make a one-time election to adopt the transition method described in this FSP. An entity may take up to one year from the later of its initial adoption of SFAS No. 123(R) or the effective date of this FSP to evaluate its available transition alternatives and make its one-time election. The Company has elected the alternative transition method to establish the initial pool of excess tax benefits, which would be available to absorb tax deficiencies recognized subsequent to the adoption of SFAS 123R. The pool of excess tax benefits was determined to be zero as of the date of adoption.

Note 19. Concentration of Credit Risk
Financial instruments that subject the Company to concentrations of credit risk consist primarily of accounts receivable. The Company’s accounts receivable are derived primarily from sales to cable operators, broadcasters, and other network operators and distributors. The Company performs periodic credit evaluations of its customers’ financial conditions and generally does not require collateral. Receivables are generally due within 30 days for domestic customers and 60 to 90 days for international customers. Credit losses are provided for in the consolidated financial statements.
In fiscal year 2007, sales from continuing operations to three customers were $86,801 (31%), $40,218 (15%), and $33,454 (12%), respectively of consolidated total net sales from continuing operations.
In fiscal year 2006, sales from continuing operations to one customer were $40,852 (19%) of consolidated total net sales from continuing operations.
In fiscal year 2005, sales from continuing operations to one customer were $37,548 (19%) of consolidated total net sales from continuing operations.
All of these principal customers purchase products, content and operations management systems, and services. No other customers represented greater than 10% of sales in fiscal years 2007, 2006, or 2005.

Note 21. Guarantees
The FASB issued Interpretation No. 45, “Guarantor’s Accounting and Disclosure Requirements for Guarantees, Including Indirect Guarantees of Indebtedness of Others” (FIN 45), which addresses the disclosure to be made by a guarantor in its interim and annual financial statements about its obligations under guarantees. FIN 45 also requires the recognition of a liability by a guarantor at the inception of certain guarantees.
As of June 29, 2007, the Company did not have any outstanding guarantees, except for product warranties. The Company warrants its products against defects in materials and workmanship, generally for one to five years depending upon product lines and geographic regions. A provision for estimated future costs related to warranty activities is recorded when the product is shipped, based upon historical experience of product failure rates and historical costs incurred in correcting product failures. In addition, from time to time, the recorded amount is adjusted for specifically identified warranty exposures when unforeseen technical problems arise.
Changes in the Company’s warranty liability during fiscal years 2007 and 2006 were as follows:
June 29, 2007 | June 30, 2006 | |||||||
Balance as of beginning of the period | $ | 5,319 | $ | 6,575 | ||||
Warranties issued during the period | 2,831 | 1,778 | ||||||
Fair value of warranty liabilities divested | — | (585 | ) | |||||
Settlements made during the period | (1,066 | ) | (1,704 | ) | ||||
Changes in the liability for pre-existing warranties | (1,584 | ) | (745 | ) | ||||
Balance as of end of the period | $ | 5,500 | $ | 5,319 | ||||
In the normal course of business, the Company is party to certain off-balance sheet arrangements including indemnifications, and financial instruments with off-balance sheet risk, such as bank letters of credit and performance or surety bonds (see Note 20). Liabilities related to these arrangements are not reflected in the consolidated balance sheets, and the Company does not expect any material impact on its cash flows, results of operations or financial condition to result from these off-balance sheet arrangements.
The Company’s Network Services segment uses surety bonds to secure performance obligations as a contractor in various state and local jurisdictions. To the extent that surety bonds become unavailable, the Company would need to replace the surety bonds or seek to secure them with letters of credit, cash deposits, or other suitable forms of collateral.
77
Table of Contents
The Company’s Broadband Systems Solutions segment licenses software to customers under written agreements. Each agreement contains the relevant terms of the contractual arrangement with the customer, and generally includes provisions for indemnifying the customer against losses, expenses, and liabilities from damages that may be awarded against the customer in the event the software is found to infringe upon certain intellectual property rights of a third party. Each agreement generally limits the scope of and remedies for such indemnification obligations in a variety of industry-standard respects. The Company has not identified any losses that are probable under these provisions and, accordingly, no liability related to these indemnification provisions has been recorded.

Note 23. Segment Information
The “management approach” required under SFAS No. 131, “Disclosures About Segments of an Enterprise and Related Information,” has been used to present the following segment information. This approach is based upon the way the management of the Company organizes segments within an enterprise for making operating decisions and assessing performance.
Prior to fiscal year 2007, the Company reported its results of operations based upon three operating segments: C-COR Access and Transport, C-COR Solutions, and C-COR Network Services. In an effort to improve operational efficiencies across the organization and reduce costs, the Company reorganized aspects of its business and combined the C-COR Access and Transport and C-COR Solutions segment into the Broadband Systems Solutions segment. As a result, in fiscal year 2007, the Company reported its results of operations based upon two operating segments: Broadband Systems Solutions and Network Services. Prior year segment data has been restated to reflect this change.
TheBroadband Systems Solutions segment is responsible for the development, management, production, deployment, support and sale of unified solutions for delivering voice, video and data services over complex networks for residential and business subscribers, including:
�� | Network infrastructure products, including the Company’s amplitude modulation headend/hub optical platform and line of optical nodes, and a full offering of radio frequency amplifiers, and |
• | Content and operations management systems, including software, hardware, and support for the delivery of video on demand and digital advertising as well as application-oriented, operational support software for managing bandwidth and resource utilization, network and service assurance, and mobile workforce automation. |
79
Table of Contents
TheNetwork Services segment provides professional services for engineering, design, and deployment of advanced applications over broadband networks, including network design, network integration, and consulting to a variety of customers.
The following costs and asset categories are not allocated to segments and are reflected in the table as “unallocated items”:
• | Income tax expense (benefit); and |
• | Identifiable assets of cash and cash equivalents, marketable securities and other short-term investments, and certain other long-term corporate assets. |

Note 24. Litigation and Pending or Threatened Litigation
On July 23, 2007, the Company received correspondence from attorneys for the Adelphia Recovery Trust (“the Trust”), that the Company may have received $29,108 in transfers from Adelphia Cablevision, LLC (“Cablevision”), one of the Adelphia debtors, during the year prior to its filing of a chapter 11 petition on June 25, 2002 (the “Petition Date”). The correspondence further asserts that information obtained during the course of the Adelphia chapter 11 proceedings indicates that Cablevision was insolvent during the year prior to the Petition Date and, accordingly, the Trust intends to assert that the payments made to the Company were fraudulent transfers under section 548 (a) of the Bankruptcy Code that may be recovered for the benefit of Cablevision’s bankruptcy estate pursuant to section 550 of the Bankruptcy Code.
To date, no suit has been commenced by the Trust and the Company has requested documents supporting the Trust’s position which have not yet been provided. In the event suit is commenced, the Company intends to contest the case vigorously; however, it cannot be sure that it would be successful in its defense. The Company understands that a similar letter was received by other Adelphia suppliers and we may seek to enter into a joint defense agreement to share legal expenses if a suit is commenced. No estimate can be made of the possible range of loss, if any, associated with a resolution of these assertions, and, accordingly, the Company has not recorded a liability as of June 29, 2007. An unfavorable outcome of this matter could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s business, financial position and results of operations.
From time to time, the Company is a party to litigation and pending or threatened litigation that arise in the ordinary course of business. In the opinion of management, the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material effect on the Company’s business, its financial position or its results of operations.

Note 25. Gain on Litigation Judgment
On April 20, 2006, the Company received a payment of $8,021, as a settlement resulting from litigation against SeaChange International, Inc for patent infringement. The award included damages, enhanced damages, interest and a percentage of attorney fees. Portions of the award are subject to contractual agreements with two third parties that provide for payment to each third party of a portion of the award amount. The Company recorded a gain of $1,238, net of a recovery of attorney fees of $407, from the distribution as a component of other income in its consolidated statement of operations during the fourth quarter of its fiscal year ended June 30, 2006. An initial distribution of a portion of the award was made to one of the third parties on June 30, 2006 in the amount of $3,168. The remaining $3,208 has been recorded as an accrued liability in the Company’s consolidated balance sheet as of June 29, 2007, pending resolution of a dispute over which components of the award were subject to the terms of agreement with one of the third parties, which has not yet been resolved. The Company believes that the dispute will be resolved within the next 12 months. Any subsequent gain, if any, resulting from settlement of the award would be recorded by the Company at the time of resolution.

Item 9A. | Controls and Procedures |
(a) | Evaluation of disclosure controls and procedures |
Our chief executive officer and our chief financial officer have evaluated the effectiveness of our “disclosure controls and procedures,” as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 (the “Exchange Act”) related to our reporting and disclosure obligations as of June 29, 2007, which is the end of the period covered by this Annual Report on Form 10-K. Based on that evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures are sufficient to provide that material information relating to us, including our consolidated subsidiaries, is (a) made known to them by our other employees and the employees of our consolidated subsidiaries, particularly material information related to the period for which this periodic report is being prepared; and (b) recorded, processed, summarized, evaluated, and reported, as applicable, within the time period specified in the rules and forms promulgated by the Securities and Exchange Commission.
(b) | Management Report on Internal Control over Financial Reporting |
Our management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting, as such term is defined in Rule 13a-15(f) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Because of its inherent limitations, internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures deteriorates.
We, under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including David A. Woodle, Chief Executive Officer, and William T. Hanelly, Chief Financial Officer, assessed the effectiveness of the Company’s internal control over financial reporting as of June 29, 2007. In making this assessment, we used the criteria set forth by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission (“COSO”) in Internal Control-Integrated Framework.
Based on our assessment using those criteria, our management concluded that our internal control over financial reporting was effective as of June 29, 2007.
The effectiveness of our internal control over financial reporting as of June 29, 2007 has been audited by KPMG LLP, an independent registered public accounting firm, as stated in their report which appears on page 44 of this Annual Report on Form 10-K.
(c) | Changes in Internal Controls |
There were no changes that occurred during the fiscal quarter ended June 29, 2007 that materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
