NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

 

1. Basis of Presentation

Adept (“Adept” or the “Company”) is a global, robotics-based automation supplier of industrial (fixed) and mobile robots to enable customers to improve speed, quality and efficiency of their production environments. The Company operates in two segments: Robotics and Services and Support. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” and the Financial Statements included in Items 7 and 8, respectively, in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on September 20, 2013. As of the end of fiscal year 2014, the Company will no longer retain smaller reporting company status. As a result, the Company will be subject to accelerated reporting deadlines and auditors’ report on internal controls for its Form 10-K for fiscal 2014.

The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited and have been prepared in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“GAAP”), and the applicable rules and regulations of the SEC for interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements. The June 30, 2013, condensed consolidated balance sheet was derived from the audited financial statements as of that date, but does not include all of the information and footnotes required by GAAP for complete financial statements.

The unaudited interim condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared on the same basis as the audited consolidated financial statements and, in the opinion of management, reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring adjustments, considered necessary to state fairly the Company’s financial position as of March 29, 2014, and the results of operations, comprehensive income (loss), and cash flows for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013. The interim results for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the year ending June 30, 2014, or for any other future annual or interim period.

The preparation of financial statements in conformity with GAAP requires management to make certain 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 revenue and expenses during the reported periods. The primary estimates underlying the Company’s financial statements include revenue recognition, product warranty, inventory valuation, allowance for doubtful accounts receivable, assumptions used in the fair value of the Company’s equity awards, useful lives of property and equipment and intangible assets, and contingent liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates.

There have been no material changes to the Company’s critical accounting policies during the nine months ended March 29, 2014, as compared to the critical accounting policies described in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended June 30, 2013.

 

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

The Company does not believe that the adoption of recently issued accounting pronouncements will have a material impact on its consolidated financial statements.

 

2. Stock-Based Compensation

The Company has adopted equity incentive plans that provide for the grant to employees, consultants and directors of stock-based awards, including stock options, restricted shares, and restricted stock units of Adept common stock. Option awards granted have an exercise price equal to or greater than the market price of the Company’s stock on the date of grant and generally have ten-year contractual terms. The Company also has an employee stock purchase plan (“ESPP”) that allows employees to purchase a limited number of shares of its common stock at a discount of 15% of the market value at certain plan-defined dates that are established at six-month intervals. As of March 29, 2014, there were options to purchase approximately 401,000 shares of common stock available for grant under all option plans and approximately 344,000 shares available for issuance under the ESPP.

Employee grants under the option plans generally vest, and are expensed, monthly in equal installments over a four year period, except for performance awards which vest when achievement of the performance criteria occurs, begin to be expensed when achievement of the performance criteria is probable, and are expensed over the service period or when the criteria is met. For performance awards, the Company estimates the service period based on its analysis of when the vesting criteria (typically some or all of the following components: share price, annual revenue amounts, earnings per share, net cash, and/or new customers) will occur. Restricted stock grants made under annual performance programs are subject to vesting quarterly over two years following the end of the relevant fiscal year of performance.

Initial and annual non-employee director grants made prior to March 2010 vest in equal installments over four years, with initial grants having a 25% cliff vest on the anniversary of the grant. Starting in 2010, annual option grants of 6,000 shares to non-employee directors vest in full on the date of the annual meeting of stockholders following the meeting at which the director is elected and the annual grant is made, and the initial option grant of 10,000 shares to non-employee directors vests in the amount of 50% of the grant on the first annual meeting of stockholders following the initial appointment or election of the director and the remaining 50% vests at the second annual meeting of stockholders of the Company following the initial appointment or election of the director.

Table of Contents

Employee option grants are subject to a change of control plan adopted by the Company in 2014 for equity awards that provides for acceleration and vesting in full of options in connection with a change of control transaction under certain circumstances,

All stock compensation has been accounted for as an equity instrument, and the Company recognizes the fair value of stock-based compensation as an expense ratably over the service period of the individual equity instruments.

The Company recorded $0.5 million and $0.1 million of stock-based compensation expense for the three months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, and $1.6 million and $0.7 million for the nine months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013, respectively. The Company did not record an income-tax benefit for the stock compensation expense because of the extent of its net operating loss carry-forwards. The Company utilized the Black-Scholes option pricing model for estimating the fair value of the stock-based compensation. The weighted average grant-date fair values of the options granted to employees and non-employee directors under the equity incentive plans were $10.36 and $2.91 for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, and $2.29 and $2.33 for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, respectively. The weighted average grant-date fair values of the shares subject to purchase under the ESPP for the nine months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013 were $2.62 and $1.31, respectively. The weighted average grant-date fair values were calculated using the following assumptions:

 

     Three Months Ended     Nine Months Ended

Expected life (in years)

     4.69       0.49       6.64       0.49       4.48       0.49       6.24       0.49  

Expected volatility

     78 %     62 %     79 %     62 %     76 %     62 %     80 %     62 %

Dividend yield

     0 %     0 %     0 %     0 %     0 %     0 %     0 %     0 %

The dividend yield of zero is based on the fact that the Company has never paid cash dividends on its common stock, is restricted from paying cash dividends by its credit facility, and has no present intention to pay cash dividends on its common stock. Expected volatility is based on the historical volatility of Adept’s common stock over the period commensurate with the expected life of the options or ESPP shares. The risk-free interest rate is based on the observed and expected life of options by Adept’s employees and is indexed to the Treasury Constant Maturity rate. The expected life in years is based on the historic time to post-vesting exercise and forfeitures of the options or ESPP shares.

Stock-based compensation expense was based on the Company’s historical experience of option cancellations prior to vesting. The Company has generally assumed an annualized forfeiture rate of 5% for each period for its options. The Company adjusts stock-based compensation expense if the actual forfeiture rate is different than estimated.

In 2014, the Company granted restricted stock units (“RSUs”) for up to 112,500 shares of common stock to its Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”). The RSUs vest upon the earlier of the CEO’s separation from service or a change in control. The number of shares issuable upon vesting and settlement of the RSUs, if any, will be determined based on the Company’s stock price on the vesting date and, in the case of a separation from service, the extent to which certain performance criteria has been met. These RSUs are not included in the table above as the fair value of these RSUs is not determinable.

As of March 29, 2014 , there was approximately $1.1 million of total unrecognized compensation cost related to non-vested stock options and restricted stock awards granted and outstanding, the cost of which is expected to be recognized through fiscal 2017, with a weighted average remaining period of 2.5 years for stock options.

7. Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

In 2013, the Company issued 8,000 shares of its Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock (the “redeemable convertible preferred stock”), par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $1,000 per share, subject to the terms of its Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) for net proceeds of $7.6 million. The Certificate of Designations sets forth the terms, rights, provisions for conversion to common stock, obligations and preferences of the redeemable convertible preferred stock and provided that holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends payable quarterly in arrears, at the election of Adept either in cash, or, subject to certain equity conditions, in common stock calculated based upon the volume weighted average price of the common stock for a period preceding the dividend date. Dividends on the redeemable convertible preferred stock accrued at the prime rate plus 3% up to a maximum amount of 4%. Each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock was convertible, at the option of the holder and upon certain mandatory conversion events, into common stock, at a conversion rate of $4.60 per common share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications and similar events). In February 2014, all of the outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock plus accrued dividends through the date of conversion was converted into 1.7 million shares of common stock of the Company.

 

8. Bank Credit Facility

The Company has a credit facility with a bank which was originally entered into in 2009, amended and restated in 2013 and amended in 2014. Pursuant to the credit facility, Adept may borrow up to $8 million, at an 80% advance rate against eligible domestic accounts and up to $6 million against eligible foreign accounts (at specified advance rates of 90% or 70%, depending on the currency in which the receivable is payable), and eligible export-related inventory (at a 75% advance rate). The advance rates are subject to adjustment at the bank’s discretion.

The maturity date of the credit facility as amended in March 2014 is June 22, 2014. The maximum aggregate borrowing under the facility may not exceed $8 million, and the face amount of financed domestic accounts receivable may not exceed $10 million. The amount of export-related inventory advances outstanding at any time may not exceed the lesser of $3.6 million or 60% of the outstanding obligations under the sublimit. If outstanding obligations at any time exceed any of these limits, Adept must repay the excess. Interest is charged at the bank’s announced prime rate plus 1.75% per annum and is based on the full face amount of financed accounts receivable, and the gross amount of financed export-related inventory, rather than the actual amount of the advances.

At March 29, 2014, Adept had no outstanding principal balance under the facility.

 

9. Product Warranty

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranty at the time revenue is recognized. Changes in the Company’s warranty liability for the nine months ended March 29, 2014 and March 30, 2013 are as follows (in thousands):

10. Legal Proceedings

From time to time, the Company is party to various legal proceedings or claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of its business. The Company has reviewed pending legal matters and believes that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its business, financial condition, or results of operations.

Adept has in the past received communications from third parties asserting that it has infringed upon certain patents and other intellectual property rights of others, or seeking indemnification against alleged infringement. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the likelihood or outcome of any actual or potential actions from such assertions against the Company or other matters, the Company believes the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on its financial position, results of operations, or cash flows.

In March 2014, the Commercial Court of Lorient, France held that Adept did not fulfill certain obligations relating to a contract between Adept and a sub-contractor, requiring Adept to pay the sub-contractor 362,000 euros. Adept intends to vigorously appeal this decision and the ultimate outcome cannot be determined at this time. No amount has been accrued in the consolidated financial statements related to this matter.

 

11. Income Taxes

The Company provides for income taxes during interim reporting periods using the discrete period method. The Company also maintains a liability to cover the cost of additional tax exposure items pertaining to the filing of federal and state income tax returns, as well as filings in foreign jurisdictions. Each of these filing jurisdictions may audit the tax returns filed and propose adjustments. Adjustments may arise from a variety of factors, including different interpretations of statutes and regulations.

Table of Contents

The Company recorded a tax provision of $0.2 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, respectively, and $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, respectively, all of which was primarily due to foreign tax of certain foreign entities and a nominal amount of state minimum taxes.

The Company had gross unrecognized tax benefits of approximately $7.4 million and $7.0 million as of March 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively. Approximately $6.0 million of the unrecognized tax benefit as of March 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, has been offset by a full valuation allowance. If all of these unrecognized tax benefits were recognized, approximately $0.4 million and $0.2 million, as of March 29, 2014 and June 30, 2013, respectively, would benefit the income tax provision. In addition, the Company does not expect any material changes to the estimated amount of the liability associated with its uncertain tax positions within the next twelve months.

The Company files income tax returns in the U.S. federal jurisdiction, California and various state and foreign tax jurisdictions in which it has a subsidiary or branch operation. The tax years 1998 to 2013 remain open to examination by the U.S. and state tax authorities, and the tax years 2006 to 2013 remain open to examination by the foreign tax authorities.

Adept’s policy is to recognize interest and penalties accrued on any unrecognized tax benefits as a component of income tax expense. As of March 29, 2014, accrued interest and penalties associated with unrecognized tax benefits was not material.

 

12. Net Loss per Share

The computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2014, do not include 0.8 million and 0.9 million shares of options to purchase shares due to the net loss in those periods. The computation of diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, do not include 1.0 million and 1.1 million of options to purchase shares and 0.2 million shares of unvested restricted stock due to the net loss in those periods.

 

13. Segment Information

The Company discloses certain information regarding operating segments, geographic areas of operations and major customers. This reporting is based upon the Company’s operating segments for which separate financial information is (i) available and (ii) evaluated regularly by the Chief Executive Officer who is the chief operating decision maker in deciding how to allocate resources and in assessing performance. The Company has two operating segments: Robotics and Services and Support.

Segment operating income is comprised of income before unallocated research, development and engineering expenses, unallocated selling, general and administrative expenses, interest income, and other expenses. Management does not fully allocate research, development and engineering expenses and selling, general and administrative expenses when making capital spending and expense funding decisions or assessing segment performance. All goodwill is carried in the Robotics segment. Segment information for total assets and capital expenditures is not presented as such information is not used in measuring segment performance or allocating resources between segments. There is no inter-segment revenue recognized. Transfers of materials or labor between segments are recorded at cost.

For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, revenues increased 38% and 31%, respectively, from the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, primarily as a result of increased sales in Asia for semiconductor processing and general manufacturing applications, and increased sales in other countries for food packaging as well as due to increased services and support revenue worldwide.

Gross Margin. For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, gross margin was 46% in each period, and increased from 43% and 39% for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, respectively. The increases in gross margin for the nine month period was primarily the result of a lower gross margin for the nine months ended March 30, 2013 due to an increase of the excess and obsolete inventory reserve, as well as to improved product mix and cost reduction efforts.

Table of Contents

We may experience significant fluctuations in our gross margin percentage from period to period due to changes in volume, changes in availability of components, changes in product configuration, increased price-based competition, fluctuations in foreign currency exchange rates, changes in sales mix of products and/or changes in operating costs.

Operating Expenses

For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, total operating expenses increased 1% and decreased 13%, respectively, from the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, primarily the result of higher compensation expense associated with stock options, and for the nine month period, restructuring and impairment of intangible assets and goodwill charges totaling $2.2 million during the nine months ended March 30, 2013.

Research, development and engineering (“R&D”) costs are expensed as incurred, with the exception of software development costs incurred subsequent to establishing technological feasibility and up to the general release of the software products that are capitalized. Technological feasibility is demonstrated by the completion of a working model or a detailed program design. Capitalized costs are amortized on a straight-line basis over either two or three years, whichever term is the estimated life of the software product. For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, R&D expenses were $1.8 million and $5.2 million, respectively, compared to $1.8 million and $5.9 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, respectively. The decrease in R&D expenses for the nine months ended March 29, 2014 was primarily due to lower headcount.

Selling, General and Administrative Expenses. Selling, general and administrative (“SG&A”) expenses consist primarily of employee compensation, professional fees arising from legal, auditing and other consulting services, indirect costs for service, as well as tradeshow participation and other marketing costs. For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, SG&A expenses were $4.8 million and $14.5 million, respectively, compared to $4.5 million and $14.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, respectively. The primary reason for the increase in SG&A expenses was higher stock based compensation expense.

Amortization. For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, amortization of other intangible assets expense was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, compared to $0.1 million and $0.3 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, respectively.

Restructuring charges. Operationally from time to time, Adept has undertaken restructuring and other cost reduction actions to support its financial model which emphasizes cost efficiency balanced with investments in the Company’s product initiatives and revenue generating activities. For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, there were no restructuring charges, compared to $0.1 million and $0.5 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013.

Foreign Currency Exchange Gain. Adept’s foreign subsidiaries’ balance sheet accounts are translated at current period ending exchange rates and statements of operations are translated at the average rate for the period. Translation gains and losses are recorded as a separate component of accumulated other comprehensive income in stockholders’ equity. For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, foreign currency exchange gain was $0.1 million and $0.2 million, respectively, compared to $0.2 million and $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, respectively, due to movements in foreign currency exchange rates. As Adept conducts business on a global basis it is exposed to adverse or beneficial movements in foreign currency exchange rates. The dollar/euro and the dollar/yen markets currently present the largest exchange rate risk for Adept.

Provision for (Benefit from) Income Taxes. Adept typically provides for income taxes during interim reporting periods based upon an estimate of our annual effective tax rate. We also maintain a liability to cover the cost of additional tax exposure items on the filing of federal and state income tax returns as well as filings in foreign jurisdictions. Each of these filing jurisdictions may audit the tax returns filed and propose adjustments. Adjustments arise from a variety of factors, including different interpretations of statutes and regulations. The liability method is used to account for income taxes. Deferred tax assets and liabilities are determined based on differences between the financial reporting and tax bases of assets and liabilities and are measured using the enacted tax rates and laws that will be in effect when the differences are expected to reverse. The Company records a valuation allowance to reduce deferred tax assets to the amount that is expected to be realized on a more-likely-than-not basis. Deferred tax expense results from the change in the net deferred tax asset or liability between periods.

For the three and nine months ended March 29, 2014, the provision for income taxes was $0.2 million and $0.3 million, compared to $0.1 million and $0.2 million for the three and nine months ended March 30, 2013, respectively, all of which related primarily to taxes in non-U.S. jurisdictions and state minimum taxes.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of March 29, 2014, cash and cash equivalents were $6.6 million, an increase of $0.3 million from June 30, 2013. Cash used in operating activities for the nine months ended March 29, 2014 was $0.3 million, representing year to date net income of $0.1 million adjusted for non-cash depreciation, amortization and stock based compensation expenses of $2.5 million, offset by the use of $2.8 million of cash for working capital. Cash used by investing activities was $0.2 million for purchases of property and equipment and for restricted cash. Cash provided by financing activities was $1.1 million from proceeds received from the exercise of stock options and the employee stock purchase plan offset in part by payment for taxes for restricted stock awards surrendered to satisfy tax obligations upon vesting.

Redeemable Convertible Preferred Stock

In 2013, the Company issued 8,000 shares of its Series A redeemable convertible preferred stock (the “redeemable convertible preferred stock”), par value $0.001 per share, at a price of $1,000 per share, subject to the terms of its Certificate of Designations, Preferences and Rights of Series A Convertible Preferred Stock (the “Certificate of Designations”) for net proceeds of $7.6 million. The Certificate of Designations set forth the terms, rights, provisions for conversion to common stock, obligations and preferences of the redeemable convertible preferred stock and provided that holders of the redeemable convertible preferred stock are entitled to receive dividends payable quarterly in arrears, at the election of Adept either in cash, or, subject to certain equity conditions, in common stock calculated based upon the volume weighted average price of the common stock for a period preceding the dividend date. Dividends on the redeemable convertible preferred stock accrued at the prime rate plus 3% up to a maximum amount of 4%. Each share of redeemable convertible preferred stock was convertible, at the option of the holder and upon certain mandatory conversion events, into common stock, at a conversion rate of $4.60 per common share (as adjusted for stock splits, stock dividends, reverse stock splits, stock combinations, reclassifications and similar events). In February 2014, all of the outstanding redeemable convertible preferred stock plus accrued dividends through the date of conversion was converted into 1.7 million shares of common stock of the Company. As a result, no shares of preferred stock are outstanding and no further dividend obligations exist.

Bank Line of Credit

The Company has a credit facility with a bank which was originally entered into in 2009, amended and restated in 2013 and amended in 2014. Pursuant to the credit facility, Adept may borrow up to $8 million, at an 80% advance rate against eligible domestic accounts and up to $6 million against eligible foreign accounts (at specified advance rates of 90% or 70%, depending on the currency in which the receivable is payable), and eligible export-related inventory (at a 75% advance rate). The advance rates are subject to adjustment at the bank’s discretion.

The maturity date of the credit facility as amended in March 2014 is June 22, 2014. The maximum aggregate borrowing under the facility may not exceed $8 million, and the face amount of financed domestic accounts receivable may not exceed $10 million. The amount of export-related inventory advances outstanding at any time may not exceed the lesser of $3.6 million or 60% of the outstanding obligations under the sublimit. If outstanding obligations at any time exceed any of these limits, Adept must repay the excess. Interest is charged at the bank’s announced prime rate plus 1.75% per annum and is based on the full face amount of financed accounts receivable, and the gross amount of financed export-related inventory, rather than the actual amount of the advances.

At March 29, 2014, Adept had no outstanding principal balance under the facility.

Adept has no off balance sheet arrangements and believes that its current cash and cash equivalents, together with funds available pursuant to its credit facility, provide sufficient liquidity for operations in fiscal year 2014. Based on operating needs, strategic activities and other factors, we may further utilize the line of credit in the future or seek alternative credit or other financing in the future to pursue additional expansion opportunities or make other investments in our growth.

ITEM 3. QUANTITATIVE AND QUALITATIVE DISCLOSURES ABOUT MARKET RISK

We are a “smaller reporting company” as defined by Regulation S-K and as such, we are not required to provide the information contained in this item pursuant to Regulation S-K.

ITEM 4. CONTROLS AND PROCEDURES

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

As of the end of the fiscal quarter ended March 29, 2014, Adept carried out an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of members of our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and our Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), of the effectiveness of the design and operation of Adept’s disclosure controls and procedures pursuant to Rule 13a-15(b) of the Securities Exchange Act of 1934. Our CEO and our CFO have concluded based on this evaluation, that as of December 28, 2013, Adept’s disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the end of the fiscal quarter to provide reasonable assurance that information required to be disclosed by us in the reports that we file or submit with the SEC is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s rules and forms and is accumulated and communicated to our management, including the CEO and CFO, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.

Adept’s management is responsible for establishing and maintaining adequate internal control over financial reporting (as defined in Rule 13a-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act). Internal control over financial reporting is a process, including policies and procedures designed to provide reasonable assurances regarding the reliability of financial reporting and the preparation of financial statements for external reporting purposes in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles. For purposes of issuing its management report in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2013, to conclude that internal control over financial reporting was effective as of such fiscal year end, the Company’s management assessed our internal control over financial reporting based on the Internal Control — Integrated Framework issued by the Committee of Sponsoring Organizations of the Treadway Commission. Management’s report was not subject to attestation by our registered public accounting firm pursuant to an exemption from such requirement.

A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met under all potential conditions, regardless of how remote, and may not prevent or detect all error and all fraud. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within Adept have been prevented or detected. Our internal control over financial reporting is 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.

Changes in Internal Controls over Financial Reporting

In connection with our continued monitoring and maintenance of our controls procedures as part of the implementation of section 404 of the Sarbanes-Oxley Act, we continue to review and improve the effectiveness of our internal controls. There have been no other changes in Adept’s internal control over financial reporting (as such term is defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act) during the nine months ended March 29, 2014, that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, Adept’s internal control over financial reporting.

PART II – OTHER INFORMATION

 

ITEM 1. LEGAL PROCEEDINGS

From time to time, we are party to various legal proceedings or claims, either asserted or unasserted, which arise in the ordinary course of our business. We have reviewed pending legal matters and believe that the resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition or results of operations.

We have in the past received communications from third parties asserting that we have infringed certain patents and other intellectual property rights of others, or seeking indemnification against alleged infringement. While it is not feasible to predict or determine the likelihood or outcome of any actual or potential actions from such assertions against us, we believe the ultimate resolution of these matters will not have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

In March 2014, the Commercial Court of Lorient, France held that Adept did not fulfill certain obligations relating to a contract between Adept and a sub-contractor, requiring Adept to pay the sub-contractor 362,000 euros. Adept intends to vigorously appeal this decision and the ultimate outcome cannot be determined at this time. No amount has been accrued in the consolidated financial statements related to this matter.

 

ITEM 1A. RISK FACTORS
