NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
Note 1 — The Company and Basis of Presentation
QuickLogic Corporation ("QuickLogic" or "the Company") was founded in 1988 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999. The Company enables Original Equipment Manufacturers ("OEMs") to maximize battery life for highly differentiated, immersive user experiences with Smartphone, Wearable, Tablet and Internet-of-Things devices. QuickLogic delivers these benefits through industry leading ultra-low power customer programmable System on Chip ("SoC") semiconductor solutions, embedded software, and algorithm solutions for always-on voice and sensor processing, and enhanced visual experiences. The Company is a fabless semiconductor provider of comprehensive, flexible sensor processing solutions, ultra-low power display bridges, and ultra-low power Field Programmable Gate Arrays, or FPGAs.
The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of management, these statements have been prepared in accordance with United States generally accepted accounting principles ("U.S. GAAP"), and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The Company recommends that these interim condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended
January 3, 2016
. Operating results for the
three
months ended
April 3, 2016
are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full year.
QuickLogic's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31 and the fiscal quarters each end on the Sunday closest to the end of each calendar quarter. QuickLogic's
first
fiscal quarters for
2016
and for
2015
ended on Sunday,
April 3, 2016
and
March 29, 2015
, respectively.
Liquidity
The Company has financed its operations and capital investments through sales of common stock, capital and operating leases, and bank lines of credit. As of
April 3, 2016
, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash and cash equivalents of
$23.3 million
and
$3.0 million
in available credit under its revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank, which expires on September 25, 2017. On September 25, 2015, the Company entered into a Second Amendment to Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with Silicon Valley Bank to extend the line of credit for
two
years through September 25, 2017. This amendment modifies some of the financial covenants. This line of credit provides for committed loan advances of up to
$6.0 million
, subject to increases at the Company's election of up to
$12.0 million
. On February 10, 2016, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to Third and Restated Loan and Security Agreement to further modify the covenants. See Note 5 for a description of the modified covenants. The Company is in compliance with all loan covenants as of the end of the current reporting period.
On March 21, 2016, the Company issued
10.0 million
shares of common stock at a price of
$1.00
per share,
$0.001
par value. The Company received net proceeds of approximately
$8.8 million
, after deducting underwriting commissions and other offering related expenses. The Company uses the net proceeds from the offering for working capital and other general corporate purposes. The Company may also use a portion of the net proceeds to acquire and/or license technologies and acquire and/or invest in businesses when the opportunity arises. The shares were offered pursuant to a shelf registration statement previously filed with the SEC, which was declared effective by the SEC on August 30, 2013, and as supplemented by a prospectus supplement dated March 17, 2016 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") pursuant to Rule 424(b) under the Securities Act of 1933, as amended.
The Company currently uses its cash to fund its capital expenditures and operating losses. Based on past operating performance and current annual operating plans, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financial resources from the revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank and equity funding raised during March 2016 will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditures and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months.
The Company's liquidity is affected by many factors including, among others: the level of revenue and gross profit as a result of the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry; the conversion of design opportunities into revenue; market acceptance of existing and new products including solutions based on its EOS
TM
, ArcticLink®, and PolarPro® solution platforms; fluctuations in revenue as a result of product end-of-life; fluctuations in revenue as a result of the stage in the product life cycle of its customers' products; costs of securing access to and availability of adequate manufacturing capacity; levels of inventories;

wafer purchase commitments; customer credit terms; the amount and timing of research and development expenditures; the timing of new product introductions; production volumes; product quality; sales and marketing efforts; the value and liquidity of its investment portfolio; changes in operating assets and liabilities; the ability to obtain or renew debt financing and to remain in compliance with the terms of existing credit facilities; the ability to raise funds from the sale of equity in the Company; the issuance and exercise of stock options and participation in the Company's employee stock purchase plan; and other factors related to the uncertainties of the industry and global economics.
Over the longer term, the Company anticipates that the generation of sales from its new product offerings, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from its revolving line of credit with Silicon Valley Bank and its ability to raise additional capital in the public capital markets will be sufficient to satisfy its operations and capital expenditures requirements. However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital, if required, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. The inability of the Company to generate sufficient sales from its new product offerings and/or raise additional capital if needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition, including its ability to maintain compliance with its lender’s financial covenants.
Principles of Consolidation
The consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QuickLogic and its wholly-owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated.
Foreign Currency
The functional currency of the Company's non-U.S. operations is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all monetary assets and liabilities of these foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current period-end exchange rates and non-monetary assets and related elements of expense are translated using historical exchange rates. Income and expense elements are translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses from the foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are recorded as interest income and other expense, net in the condensed unaudited consolidated statements of operations.
Uses of Estimates
The preparation of these consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, particularly in relation to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns, valuation of investments, valuation of long-lived assets, valuation of inventories including identification of excess quantities, market value and obsolescence, measurement of stock-based compensation awards, accounting for income taxes and estimating accrued liabilities.
Concentration of Risk
The Company's accounts receivable are denominated in U.S. dollars and are derived primarily from sales to customers located in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. See Note 11 for information regarding concentrations associated with accounts receivable.
For the
three
months ended
April 3, 2016
, the Company generated
35%
of its total revenue from shipments to Samsung Electronics Co., Ltd. ("Samsung"). See Note 11 for information regarding concentrations associated with customers and distributors.

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
During the
three
months ended
April 3, 2016
, there were no changes in the Company's significant accounting policies from its disclosure in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended
January 3, 2016

New Accounting Pronouncements
In March 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board ("FASB") issued Accounting Standards Update ("ASU"), No. 2016-09,
Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Share-Based Payment Accounting
. This update was issued as part of the FASB’s simplification initiative and affects all entities that issue share-based payment awards to their employees. The amendments in this update cover such areas as the recognition of excess tax benefits and deficiencies, the classification of those excess tax benefits on the statement of cash flows, an accounting policy election for forfeitures, the amount an employer can withhold to cover income taxes and still qualify for equity classification and the classification of those taxes paid on the statement of cash flows. This update is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016, which will require us to adopt these provisions in the first quarter of fiscal year 2017. This guidance can be applied either prospectively, retrospectively or using a modified retrospective transition method, depending on the area covered in this update. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In March 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-08,
Revenue from contracts with customers (Topic 606): Principal versus Agent Considerations
Reporting Revenue Gross versus Net.
The amendments are intended to improve the operability and understandability of the implementation guidance on principal versus agent considerations by amending certain existing illustrative examples and adding additional illustrative examples to assist in the application of the guidance. The effective date and transition of these amendments is the same as the effective date and transition of ASU 2014-09. Public entities should apply the amendments in ASU 2014-09 for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017, including interim reporting periods therein (i.e., January 1, 2018, for a calendar year entity). Private entities must apply the amendments one year later. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements.
In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU No. 2016-02,
Leases.
The new standard establishes a right-of-use (ROU) model that requires a lessee to record a ROU asset and a lease liability on the balance sheet for all leases with terms longer than 12 months. Leases will be classified as either finance or operating, with classification affecting the pattern of expense recognition in the income statement. The new standard is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. A modified retrospective transition approach is required for lessees for capital and operating leases existing at, or entered into after, the beginning of the earliest comparative period presented in the financial statements, with certain practical expedients available. We are currently evaluating the impact of our pending adoption of the new standard on our consolidated financial statements
In July 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-11,
Inventory (Topic 330):
Simplifying the measurement of Inventory,
which amends the accounting guidance on the valuation of inventory. The guidance requires an entity to measure in scope inventory at the lower of cost and net realizable value. Net realizable value is the estimated selling prices in the ordinary course of business, less reasonably predictable costs of completion, disposal, and transportation. The amendment applies to inventory valued at first-in, first-out or average cost. This guidance is effective for reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Company is currently evaluating the impact of ASU 2015-11 on its consolidated financial statements and footnote disclosures.
In April 2015, the FASB issued ASU 2015-03,
Simplifying Presentation of Debt Issuance Costs
which amends the accounting guidance on the presentation of debt issuance costs. The guidance requires an entity to present debt issuance costs related to a recognized debt liability as a direct deduction from the carrying amount of that debt, consistent with debt discounts. The guidance is effective for annual reporting periods beginning after December 31, 2015 and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015, and must be applied retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented. The Company adopted this standard effective for the interim period ended April 3, 2016. Adoption of this standard had no significant impact on the financial statements.
QUICKLOGIC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
In January 2015, the FASB issued ASU No. 2015-01,
Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items (Subtopic 225-20): Simplifying Income Statement Presentation by Eliminating the Concept of Extraordinary Items
(ASU 2015-01)
.
This ASU 2015-01 eliminates from U.S. GAAP the concept of extraordinary items. Subtopic 225-20, Income Statement - Extraordinary and Unusual Items, requires that an entity separately classify, present and disclose extraordinary events and transactions. Presently, an event or transaction is presumed to be an ordinary and usual activity of a reporting entity unless evidence clearly supports its classification as an extraordinary item. If an event or transaction meets the criteria for extraordinary classification, an entity is required to segregate the extraordinary item from the results of ordinary operations and show such item separately in the income statement, net of tax, after income from continuing operations. The entity is also required to disclose applicable income taxes and either present or disclose earnings-per-share data applicable to the extraordinary item. This ASU 2015-01 is effective for annual periods ending after December 15, 2015, and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015. The Company adopted this standard effective the interim period April 4, 2016. Adoption of this standard had no impact on the financial statements as there were no extraordinary or unusual items in this quarter.
Other new accounting pronouncements are disclosed on the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended
January 3, 2016
filed with the SEC on
March 18, 2016
.
Note 3 — Net Loss Per Share
Basic loss per share is computed by dividing net loss available to common stockholders by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method. In computing diluted net income (loss) per share, the weighted average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and warrants.
The following shares were not included in the calculation of diluted net loss per share for the
three
months ended
April 3, 2016
and
March 29, 2015
: (i)
7.5 million
and
7.1 million
of common shares associated with equity awards outstanding and the estimated number of shares to be purchased under the current offering period of the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, respectively, and (ii) warrants to purchase up to
2.3 million
as of
April 3, 2016
and
4.2 million
as of
March 29, 2015
shares of common stock respectively. These shares were not included as they were considered antidilutive due to the net loss the Company experienced during these periods.

Revolving Line of Credit
On September 25, 2015, the Company entered into the Second Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement dated September 25, 2015 ("the Loan Agreement") with Silicon Valley Bank (the "Bank"). The terms of the Loan Agreement include a
$6.0 million
revolving line of credit available through
September 25, 2017
, subject to increases at the Company's election of up to
$12 million
. Upon each advance, the Company can elect a Prime Rate advance, which is the prime rate plus the prime rate margin, or a LIBOR advance, which is LIBOR rate plus the LIBOR rate margin. As of the
first
quarter ended
April 3, 2016
, the Company had
$3.0 million
of revolving debt outstanding with an interest rate of
3.44%
.
On February 10, 2016, the Company entered into a Third Amendment to the Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with the Bank to amend certain covenants contained in the Loan Agreement. As amended, the Company is required to maintain, beginning in the quarter ending March 31, 2016, (i) a tangible net worth of at least
$12.0 million
, plus (a)
50%

50%
of the proceeds from any investments, tested as of the last day of each month; (ii) unrestricted cash or cash equivalents at the Bank or Bank's affiliates at all times in an amount of at least
$6.0 million
; and (iii) a ratio of quick assets to the results of (i) current liabilities minus (ii) the current portion of deferred revenue plus (iii) the long-term portion of the obligations of at least

$6.0 million
; for the quarter ending March 31, 2017, at least
$4.0 million
; for the quarter ending June 30, 2017, at least
$8.0 million
. Beginning with the third fiscal quarter of 2016, the Company is required to maintain a ratio of quick assets to the results of (i) current liabilities minus (ii) the current portion of deferred revenue plus (iii) the long-term portion of the obligations of at least
1.50
to 1.00 in the fiscal quarters ended September 30, 2016 and December 31, 2016 and of at least
1.25
to 1.00 in the fiscal quarters ended March 31, 2017 and June 30, 2017.

Note 6 — Fair Value Measurements
Pursuant to the accounting guidance for fair value measurements and its subsequent updates, fair value is defined as the price that would be received from selling an asset or paid to transfer a liability in an orderly transaction between market participants at the measurement date. When determining the fair value measurements for assets and liabilities required or permitted to be recorded at fair value, the Company considers the principal or most advantageous market and it considers assumptions that market participants would use when pricing the asset or liability.
The accounting guidance for fair value measurement also specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based upon whether the inputs to those valuation techniques reflect assumptions other market participants would use based upon market data obtained from independent sources (observable inputs), or reflect the Company's own assumptions of market participant valuation (unobservable inputs). The fair value hierarchy consists of the following three levels:
|
|
•
|
Level 1
– Inputs are quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities.
|
|
|
•
|
Level 2
– Inputs are quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in an active market, quoted prices for identical or similar assets or liabilities in markets that are not active, inputs other than quoted prices that are observable and market-corroborated inputs which are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data.
|
|
|
•
|
Level 3
– Inputs are derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or value drivers are unobservable.
|
The following table presents the Company's financial assets that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of
April 3, 2016
and
January 3, 2016
, consistent with the fair value hierarchy provisions of the authoritative guidance (in thousands):

100 million
shares of common stock and has
10 million
shares of authorized but unissued shares of preferred stock. Without any further vote or action by the Company's stockholders, the Board of Directors has the authority to determine the powers, preferences, rights, qualifications, limitations or restrictions granted to or imposed upon any wholly unissued shares of undesignated preferred stock.
Issuance of Common Stock and Warrants
On July 31, 2013, the Company filed a shelf registration statement on Form S-3 under which the Company may, from time to time, sell securities in one or more offerings up to a total dollar amount of
$40.0 million
. The Company's shelf registration statement was declared effective on August 30, 2013 and expires in August 2016.

Note 8 — Employee Stock Plans
1999 Stock Plan
The 1999 Stock Plan, or 1999 Plan, provided for the issuance of incentive and non-qualified options, restricted stock units (" RSUs") and restricted stock. Equity awards granted under the 1999 Plan have a term of up to
ten
years. Options typically vest at a rate of
25%
one
year after the vesting commencement date, and one forty-eighth for each month of service thereafter. In March 2009, the Board adopted the 2009 Stock Plan, which was approved by the Company's stockholders on April 22, 2009. Effective April 22, 2009,
no
further stock options may be granted under the 1999 Plan.
2009 Stock Plan
The 2009 Stock Plan, or 2009 Plan, was amended and restated by the Board of Directors in January 2015 and approved by the Company's stockholders on April 23, 2015 to, among other things, reserve an additional
2.5 million
shares of common stock for issuance under the 2009 Plan. As of
April 3, 2016
, approximately
9.7 million
shares were reserved for issuance under the 2009 Plan. Equity awards that are cancelled, forfeited or repurchased under the 1999 Plan become available for grant under the 2009 Plan, up to a maximum of an additional
10 million
shares. Equity awards granted under the 2009 Plan have a term of up to
ten
years. Options typically vest at a rate of
25%
one
year after the vesting commencement date, and one forty-eighth for each month of service thereafter. RSUs typically vest at a rate of
25%
one
year after the vesting commencement date, and one eighth every six months thereafter. The Company may implement different vesting schedules in the future with respect to any new equity awards.
Employee Stock Purchase Plan
The 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan, or 2009 ESPP, was adopted in March 2009. In January 2015, the 2009 ESPP was amended by the Board of Directors and approved by the Company's stockholders on April 23, 2015 to reserve an additional
1.0 million
shares of common stock for issuance under the 2009 ESPP. As of
April 3, 2016
, approximately
3.3 million
shares were reserved for issuance under the 2009 ESPP Plan. The 2009 ESPP provides for
six
month offering periods. Participants purchase shares through payroll deductions of up to
20%
of an employee's total compensation (maximum of
20,000
shares per offering period). The 2009 ESPP permits the Board of Directors to determine, prior to each offering period, whether participants purchase shares at: (i)
85%
of the fair market value of the common stock at the end of the offering period; or (ii)
85%
of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning or the end of an offering period. The Board of Directors has determined that, until further notice, future offering periods will be made at
85%
of the lower of the fair market value of the common stock at the beginning or the end of an offering period.
Note 9 — Stock-Based Compensation
The Company's equity incentive program is a broad-based, long-term retention program intended to attract, motivate, and retain talented employees as well as align stockholder and employee interests. The Company provides stock-based

incentive compensation, or awards, to eligible employees and non-employee directors. Awards that may be granted under the program include non-qualified and incentive stock options, restricted stock units, or RSUs, performance-based restricted stock units, or PRSUs, and cash settlement of stock appreciation rights, or SARs. To date, awards granted under the program consist of stock options, RSUs and PRSUs. The majority of stock-based awards granted under the program vest over
four
years. Stock options granted under the program have a maximum contractual term of
ten
years.

Valuation Assumptions
The Company uses the Black-Scholes option pricing model to estimate the fair value of employee stock options and rights to purchase shares under the Company's 2009 ESPP. Using the Black-Scholes pricing model requires the Company to develop highly subjective assumptions including the expected term of awards, expected volatility of its stock, expected risk-free interest rate and expected dividend rate over the term of the award. The Company's expected term of awards assumption is based primarily on its historical experience with similar grants. The Company's expected stock price volatility assumption for both stock options and ESPP shares is based on the historical volatility of the Company's stock, using the daily average of the opening and closing prices and measured using historical data appropriate for the expected term. The risk-free interest rate assumption approximates the risk-free interest rate of a Treasury Constant Maturity bond with a maturity approximately equal to the expected term of the stock option or ESPP shares. This fair value is expensed over the requisite service period of the award. The fair value of RSUs and PRSUs is based on the closing price of the Company's common stock on the date of grant. Equity compensation awards which vest with service are expensed using the straight-line attribution method over the requisite service period.
In addition to the assumptions used in the Black-Scholes pricing model, the amended authoritative guidance requires that the Company recognize expense for awards ultimately expected to vest; therefore the Company is required to develop an estimate of the number of awards expected to be forfeited prior to vesting, or forfeiture rate. The forfeiture rate is estimated based on historical pre-vest cancellation experience and is applied to all share-based awards.
The following weighted average assumptions are included in the estimated fair value calculations for stock option grants:

No stock options were granted in the first quarter of 2016. The weighted average estimated fair value for options granted during the
first
quarter of
2015
was
$0.90
per option. As of
April 3, 2016
and
March 29, 2015
, the fair value of unvested stock options, net of expected forfeitures, was approximately
$2.4 million
and
$2.9 million
, respectively. This unrecognized stock-based compensation expense is expected to be recorded over a weighted average period of
2.12
years.

The aggregate intrinsic value in the table above represents the total pretax intrinsic value, based on the Company's closing stock price of
$1.06
as of the end of the Company's current reporting period, which would have been received by the option holders had all option holders exercised their options as of that date.
The total intrinsic value of options exercised during the first
three months
of
2016
and
2015
was
$0
and
$1,000
, respectively. Total cash received from employees as a result of employee stock option exercises during the first
three months
of
2016
and
2015
was approximately
$0
and
$3,000
respectively. The Company settles employee stock option exercises with newly issued common shares. In connection with these exercises, there was no tax benefit realized by the Company due to the Company's current loss position. Total stock-based compensation related to stock options was
$114,000
for the
three
months ended
April 3, 2016
.
Restricted Stock Units and Performance-based Restricted Stock Units
The Company began issuing RSUs and PRSUs in the third quarter of 2007. RSUs entitle the holder to receive, at no cost, one common share for each RSU as it vests. In general, the Company's policy is to withhold shares in settlement of employee tax withholding obligations upon the vesting of RSUs. The stock-based compensation related to RSUs and PRSUs was
$304,000
and
$74,000
, respectively for the
three
months ended
April 3, 2016
. As of

As of

Note 10 — Income Taxes
In the
first
quarters of
2016
and
2015
, the Company recorded net income tax expense of
$64,000
and
$40,000
, respectively. The income tax expense for the first quarters of 2016 and 2015 relates to income taxes from the Company's foreign operations, which are cost-plus entities.
Based on the available objective evidence, management believes it is more likely than not that the Company's net deferred tax assets will not be fully realizable. Accordingly, with the exception of its foreign subsidiaries, the Company has provided a full valuation allowance against the associated deferred tax assets. The Company will continue to assess the realizability of the deferred tax assets in future periods.
The Company had approximately
$36,000
of unrecognized tax benefits at
April 3, 2016
and
January 3, 2016
, which if recognized, would affect the Company's effective tax rate. The Company recognizes interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions in income tax expense. For the
three
month period ended
April 3, 2016
, the Company accrued
$1,000
of interest and penalties. As of
April 3, 2016
, the Company had approximately
$18,000
of accrued interest and penalties related to uncertain tax positions.
QUICKLOGIC CORPORATION
NOTES TO CONDENSED UNAUDITED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS -- (Continued)
Included in the balance of unrecognized tax benefits at
April 3, 2016
is
$9,000
related to tax positions, interest, and penalties for which it is reasonably possible that the statute of limitations for these items will expire in various jurisdictions within the next twelve months.
The Company is subject to U.S. federal income tax as well as income taxes in many U.S. states and foreign jurisdictions in which the Company operates. As of April 3, 2016, fiscal years 2011 onward remain open to examination by the U.S. taxing authorities and fiscal years 2007 onward remain open to examination in Canada. The U.S. federal and U.S. state taxing authorities may choose to audit tax returns for tax years beyond the statute of limitation period due to significant tax attribute carryforwards from prior years, making adjustments only to carryforward attributes.

Contingencies
One of the Company's licensors contends that the Company owes back royalties on sales of the Company's ArcticLink III VX devices. Based on the terms and conditions of the Amended and Restated License Agreement between the parties, the Company does not believe it is liable for any royalty payments on these sales. The parties have agreed upon a mediator and have tentatively agreed upon mediation in June, 2016. As of April 3, 2016, the Company estimates the possible loss relating to this matter to be in the range of
$25,000
and
$250,000
.
Note 13 — Litigation
From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business including, but not limited to, intellectual property infringement and collection matters. Absolute assurance cannot be given that any such third party assertions will be resolved: (i) without costly litigation; (ii) in a manner that is not adverse to the Company's financial position, results of operations or cash flows; or (iii) without requiring royalty or other payments which may adversely impact gross profit.
