RUDOLPH TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS
(In thousands, except per share data)
(Unaudited)

NOTE 1.    Basis of Presentation
The accompanying interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by Rudolph Technologies, Inc. (the “Company” or “Rudolph”) and in the opinion of management reflect all adjustments, consisting of normal recurring accruals, necessary for their fair presentation in accordance with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States of America (“U.S. GAAP”).  Preparing financial statements requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect amounts reported in the financial statements and accompanying notes.  Actual amounts could differ materially from those amounts.  The interim results for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 are not necessarily indicative of results to be expected for the entire year or any future periods.  This interim financial information should be read in conjunction with the financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2013 (“2013 10-K”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). The accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet at December 31, 2013 has been derived from the audited consolidated financial statements included in the 2013 10-K.
Reclassifications
Certain prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current financial statement presentation. These amounts include the reclassification of a portion of deferred tax assets from Other assets to Prepaid expenses and other current assets in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.
Recent Accounting Pronouncements
In May 2014, the Financial Accounting Standards Board issued Accounting Standards Update (ASU) No. 2014-09, “Revenue from Contracts with Customers.” ASU 2014-09 outlines a comprehensive revenue recognition model and supersedes most current revenue recognition guidance. ASU 2014-09 will be effective for the Company starting in the first quarter of 2017. ASU 2014-09 allows for two methods of adoption: (a) “full retrospective” adoption, meaning the standard is applied to all periods presented, or (b) “modified retrospective” adoption, meaning the cumulative effect of applying ASU 2014-09 is recognized as an adjustment to the 2017 opening retained earnings balance. The Company is in the process of determining the adoption method as well as the effects the adoption of ASU 2014-09 will have on its consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.

NOTE 2.   Business Combinations
Tamar Technology
In April 2013, the Company announced that it had acquired specific assets of Tamar Technology, located in Newbury Park, California. The acquired business has been integrated into the Company’s inspection technology group.  The impact of the acquisition was not material to the Company’s consolidated financial position or results of operations.

NOTE 3.  Fair Value Measurements
The Company applies a three-level valuation hierarchy for fair value measurements. This hierarchy prioritizes the inputs into three broad levels.  Level 1 inputs are quoted prices (unadjusted) in active markets for identical assets or liabilities. Level 2 inputs are quoted prices for similar assets and liabilities in active markets or inputs that are observable for the asset or liability, either directly or indirectly through market corroboration, for substantially the full term of the asset or liability. Level 3 inputs are unobservable inputs based on management’s assumptions used to measure assets and liabilities at fair value. A financial asset’s or liability’s fair value measurement classification within the hierarchy is determined based on the lowest level input that is significant to the fair value measurement.

Level 1 investments are based on quoted prices that are available in active markets.
The Company’s investments classified as Level 2 are valued using observable inputs to quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. The foreign currency forward contracts are primarily measured based on the foreign currency spot and forward rates quoted by the banks or foreign currency dealers. Available-for-sale debt securities prices are obtained from third party pricing providers, which models prices utilizing the above observable inputs, for each asset class.
Level 3 investments consist of an auction rate security and contingent consideration related to an acquisition for which the Company uses a discounted cash flow model to value these investments. The Level 3 assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model for the auction rate security included estimates of interest rates of 3.1%, timing and amount of cash flows and expected holding periods of the auction rate security, based on data available on June 30, 2014. Changes in the unobservable input values would be unlikely to cause material changes in the fair value of the auction rate security. The Level 3 assumptions used in the discounted cash flow model for the contingent consideration included projected revenues, estimates of discount rates of 5.3% and timing of cash flows. A significant decrease in the projected revenues or increase in discount rate could result in a significantly lower fair value measurement for the contingent consideration.

See Note 4 for additional discussion regarding the fair value of the Company’s marketable securities.
Fair Value of Other Financial Instruments
The carrying value of cash and cash equivalents, accounts receivable, accounts payable and accrued liabilities approximates fair value because of the short-term maturity of these instruments. The estimated fair value of these obligations is based, primarily, on a market approach, comparing the Company’s interest rates to those rates the Company believes it would reasonably receive upon re-entry into the market. Judgment is required to estimate the fair value, using available market information and appropriate valuation methods.
The Company’s convertible senior notes are not publicly traded. The estimated fair value of the Company’s convertible senior notes was valued using a discounted cash flow model. The Level 3 assumptions, based on data available at the valuation date used in preparing the discounted cash flow model included estimates of interest rates, timing and amount of cash flows and expected holding periods of the convertible senior notes. The fair value of the contingent interest associated with the convertible senior notes is valued quarterly using the present value of expected cash flow model incorporating the probabilities of the contingent events occurring.
The following table reflects information pertaining to the Company’s convertible senior notes:

There was no contingent interest related to the Company’s convertible senior notes as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

NOTE 4.   Marketable Securities
The Company has evaluated its investment policies and determined that all of its investment securities are to be classified as available-for-sale.  Available-for-sale securities are carried at fair value, with the unrealized gains and losses reported in Stockholders’ Equity under the caption “Accumulated other comprehensive loss.”  Realized gains and losses on available-for-sale securities are included in “Other expense (income)” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.  The Company records other-than-temporary impairment charges for its available-for-sale investments when it intends to sell the securities, it is

7


more-likely-than not that it will be required to sell the securities before a recovery, or when it does not expect to recover the entire amortized cost basis of the securities.  The cost of securities sold is based on the specific identification method.
As of June 30, 2014, the Company held one auction rate security with a fair value of $308. The underlying asset of the Company’s auction rate security consisted of a municipal bond with an auction reset feature. Due to auction failures in the marketplace, the Company will not have access to these funds unless (a) future auctions occur and are successful, (b) the security is called by the issuer, (c) the Company sells the security in an available secondary market, or (d) the underlying note matures. Currently, there are no active secondary markets. As of June 30, 2014, the Company had recorded a cumulative temporary unrealized impairment loss of $167 within “Accumulated other comprehensive loss” based upon its assessment of the fair value of this security. The Company believes that this impairment is temporary as it does not intend to sell this security, the Company will not be required to sell this security before recovery, and the Company expects to recover the amortized cost basis of this security.
The Company has determined that the gross unrealized losses on its marketable securities at June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 are temporary in nature. The Company reviews its investment portfolio to identify and evaluate investments that have indications of possible impairment. Factors considered in determining whether a loss is other-than-temporary include the length of time and extent to which fair value has been less than the cost basis, credit quality and the Company’s ability and intent to hold the investment for a period of time sufficient to allow for any anticipated recovery in market value.
At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, marketable securities are categorized as follows:

NOTE 5.    Derivative Instruments and Hedging Activities
The Company, when it considers it to be appropriate, enters into forward contracts to hedge the economic exposures arising from foreign currency denominated transactions. At June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013, these contracts included the future sale of Japanese Yen to purchase U.S. dollars. Derivative instruments are recognized as either “Prepaid expenses and other current assets” or “Other current liabilities” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and are measured at fair value. The foreign currency forward contracts were entered into by the Company’s Japanese subsidiary to economically hedge a portion of certain intercompany obligations. The forward contracts are not designated as hedges for accounting purposes and decreases in the fair value of $53 and $255 for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 and 2013, respectively, are recorded within the caption “Other expense (income)” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations.       
The dollar equivalent of the U.S. dollar forward contracts and related fair values as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013 were as follows:

NOTE 8.   Debt Obligations
On July 25, 2011, the Company issued $60,000 aggregate principal amount of 3.75% Convertible Senior Notes due 2016 (the “Notes”) at par. The Notes were issued pursuant to an indenture, dated as of July 25, 2011, between the Company and Bank of New York Mellon Trust Company, N.A., as Trustee, which includes a form of Note. The Notes provide for the payment of interest semi-annually in arrears on January 15 and July 15 of each year, beginning January 15, 2012, at an annual rate of 3.75%

11


and will mature on July 15, 2016, unless earlier converted or repurchased. The Notes may be converted, under certain circumstances, based on an initial conversion rate of 77.241 shares of Company common stock per $1 principal amount of Notes, which represents an initial conversion price of approximately $12.95 per share. Concurrently with the issuance of the Notes, the Company purchased a convertible note hedge and sold a warrant. Each of the convertible note hedge and warrant transactions were entered into with an affiliate of the initial purchaser of the Notes. The convertible note hedge is intended to reduce the potential future dilution to the Company’s common stock associated with the conversion of the Notes. However, the warrant transaction will have a dilutive effect on the Company’s earnings per share to the extent that the price of the Company’s common stock exceeds the strike price of the warrant. The strike price of the warrant is $17.00 per share subject to adjustment in accordance with the terms of the agreement. The net proceeds to the Company from the sale of the Notes, including the convertible note hedge and warrant were $50,249.

NOTE 9.   Commitments and Contingencies
Warranty Reserves
The Company generally provides a warranty on its products for a period of twelve to fifteen months against defects in material and workmanship. The Company estimates the costs that may be incurred during the warranty period and records a liability in the amount of such costs at the time revenue is recognized. The Company’s estimate is based primarily on historical experience. The Company periodically assesses the adequacy of its recorded warranty liabilities and adjusts the amounts as necessary. Settlements of warranty reserves are generally associated with sales that occurred during the 12 to 15 months prior to the year-end and warranty accruals are related to sales during the year.

Changes in the Company’s warranty reserves are as follows:

Legal Matters
From time to time, the Company is subject to legal proceedings and claims in the ordinary course of business. As previously disclosed, in December 2007, the Company completed the acquisition of specific assets and liabilities of the semiconductor division

12


of Applied Precision LLC (“Applied”). As a result of the acquisition, the Company assumed certain liabilities of Applied including a lawsuit filed in the United States District Court, District of Arizona, by Integrated Technology Corporation (“ITC”) which alleged Applied’s PrecisionPoint™, PrecisionWoRx® and ProbeWoRx® products infringed an ITC patent (Integrated Technology Corporation v. Rudolph Technologies, Inc., No.  CV-06-2182-PHX-ROS).  Prior to trial, the District Court ruled that such products sold prior to August of 2007 (the “pre-August 2007 tools”) infringed the ITC patent. At trial in December of 2011, a trial verdict was rendered in which the jury found that while the Company’s products manufactured after August of 2007 (the “post-August 2007 tools”) did not literally infringe ITC’s patent, the products were found to infringe under a rule known as the doctrine of equivalents, a legal principle which expands the language of patent claims to encompass products or processes which may otherwise be found not to literally infringe the patent. The jury awarded $15,475 to ITC in damages for sales made during the years 2000-2011, of which award approximately one-half related to sales for pre-August 2007 tools. The jury found that for the sales of the post-August 2007 tools, the infringement was willful. On July 23, 2012, the District Court issued an Order which affirmed the jury’s award, applied treble damages to the portion of the jury award related to post-August 2007 tool sales and granted ITC’s motion for attorney’s fees and prejudgment interest on the verdict and attorney’s fees. At that time, the District Court also enjoined the Company from future infringement of the ITC patent and from selling or supplying the applicable products with the applicable features from or into the United States. The Company appealed the injunction, the District Court Order and the damages assessment. In October 2012, the injunction was stayed by the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals and thereafter in June of 2013, the patent expired. On November 4, 2013, the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals issued a ruling which reversed the judgment of infringement against all post-August 2007 tools, reversed the finding of willfulness, vacated the treble damages award, vacated the award of attorney’s fees and costs, remanded the issue back to the District Court for further review, and affirmed the award of damages and interest for the pre-August 2007 tools. As a result, the matter is resolved with regard to the alleged infringement of the post-August 2007 tools in the Company’s favor. With regard to the damages assessment against the pre-August 2007 tools, on March 4, 2014, the Company filed a Petition for a Writ of Certiorari with the U.S. Supreme Court to appeal the basis of the Federal Court of Appeals’ decision affirming the damages award for the pre-August 2007 tools. On June 30, 2014, the Supreme Court denied the Company’s Petition and as a result, the Company increased its related litigation accrual by $9,622 for a total accrual of $13,833. On July 22, 2014, the Company then paid to ITC $10,613 which represented only the damages and interest portion of the judgment. Since the patent expired in June of 2013 and payment of the judgment has been made, this matter is fully resolved with the sole exception of the issue of the remanded attorney’s fees. The Company believes that it has meritorious defenses regarding this issue and intends to continue to vigorously prosecute the matter. Included in the total accrual of $13,833, which is recorded under the caption, “Other current liabilities,” in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets, is $3,250 related to the remanded attorney’s fees.  The Company expects that this is the maximum liability reasonably possible for the attorney’s fees, including interest, for this lawsuit with respect to both the pre-August 2007 and post-2007 August tools.

In the Company’s patent infringement suit against Camtek, Ltd., of Migdal Hamek, Israel, concerning the Company’s proprietary continuous scan wafer inspection technology, the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals issued a ruling on August 22, 2011.  In its opinion, the Appellate Court affirmed multiple rulings from trial at the District Court level including (i) finding the Company’s U.S. Patent No. 6,826,298 valid, (ii) the part of the infringement ruling based on the finding that Camtek’s Falcon product strobes “based on velocity,” and (iii) the dismissal of Camtek’s claim against the Company for inequitable conduct against the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.  The court did, however, revise one claim construction ruling made by the District Court in the original case.  As a result, the Appellate Court set aside the verdict delivered by the jury for damages and the District Court’s decision to enter an injunction against Camtek’s selling Falcon tools in the U.S. and remanded the case back to the trial court for a limited trial on this single infringement issue.  On March 31, 2014, the District Court ruled in the Company’s favor, finding that Camtek’s Falcon tools continue to infringe the Company’s patent even under the revised claim construction of the patent, obviating the need for the limited trial.  The Company intends to petition the court to reinstate a permanent injunction against the sale by Camtek of its infringing semiconductor inspection systems. The Company also anticipates that the damages originally awarded by the jury in 2009 will be reinstated, as well as related interest and all subsequently awarded damages.   This lawsuit was initially brought in 2005 by August Technology prior to its merger with the Company. A subsequent lawsuit has been filed by Rudolph against Camtek alleging infringement of Rudolph’s U.S. Patent No. 7,729,528, also related to the Company’s proprietary continuous scan wafer inspection technology.  This lawsuit is currently stayed pending resolution of a re-examination petition filed by Camtek with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office.
Letter of Credit
As of June 30, 2014, the Company had a $40,000 irrevocable standby letter of credit with Credit Suisse AG available to secure the damages assessment in connection with the ITC litigation discussed in Legal Matters above. On July 22, 2014, the Company paid $10,613 to ITC through a draw down of the letter of credit. Pursuant to the terms of the letter of credit, upon draw down of the funds, the letter of credit was collateralized by securities held in the Company’s investment portfolios which were immediately sold to satisfy the letter of credit payment. The letter of credit was subsequently canceled upon completion of this payment.

The income tax provision for the three and six months ended June 30, 2014 was computed based on the Company’s annual forecast of profit by jurisdiction and forecasted effective tax rate for the year. The changes in the Company’s effective tax rate for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period for the prior year are primarily due to the generation of federal R&D credits for both 2012 and 2013 recognized in 2013, which are not available in the 2014 period as a result of legislation, and an increase in foreign tax expense in excess of foreign tax credits generated in 2014.
The Company currently has a partial valuation allowance recorded against certain deferred tax assets. Each quarter, the Company assesses the likelihood that it will be able to recover its deferred tax assets. The Company considers available evidence, both positive and negative, including prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. As a result of the Company’s analysis, it concluded that it is more likely than not that a portion of its deferred tax assets will not be realized. Therefore, the Company continues to provide a valuation allowance against certain deferred tax assets. The Company continues to closely monitor available evidence and may reverse some or all of the remaining valuation allowance in future periods, if appropriate. The Company has a valuation allowance of $1,646 as of June 30, 2014 and December 31, 2013.

NOTE 13.   Earnings (Loss) Per Share
Basic earnings (loss) per share is calculated using the weighted average number of shares of common stock outstanding during the period.  Diluted earnings per share is computed in the same manner and also gives effect to all dilutive common equivalent shares outstanding during the period.  Potential common shares that would have the effect of increasing diluted earnings per share are considered to be antidilutive. In accordance with U.S. GAAP, these shares were not included in calculating diluted earnings per share. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2014, all outstanding restricted stock units of 1,265 and stock options of 714 were excluded from the computation of diluted loss per share because the effect in the period would be antidilutive. For the three and six months ended June 30, 2013, the weighted average number of stock options and restricted stock units excluded from the computation of diluted earnings per share totaled 711and 760, respectively, because their effect was antidilutive. Diluted earnings per share-weighted average shares outstanding do not include any effect resulting from assumed conversion of the Notes and warrants as their impact would be anti-dilutive.
The Company’s basic and diluted earnings (loss) per share amounts are as follows:

NOTE 16.   Share Repurchase Program
In 2008, the Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to 3,000 shares of the Company’s common stock with no established end date.  The program allows for repurchases to be made in the open market or through negotiated transactions from time to time. At June 30, 2014, 2,900 shares remained available for future stock repurchases under this repurchase program. The shares of common stock purchased under the share repurchase program are being retired.
The Company did not repurchase any shares of its common stock during the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013. The following table summarizes the Company’s stock repurchases for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014:

Critical Accounting Policies
The preparation of condensed consolidated financial statements and related disclosures in conformity with accounting principles generally accepted in the United States (“U.S. GAAP”) requires management to make judgments, assumptions and estimates that affect the amounts reported. Certain of these significant accounting policies are considered to be critical accounting policies, as defined below.
A critical accounting policy is defined as one that is both material to the presentation of our condensed consolidated financial statements and requires management to make difficult, subjective or complex judgments that could have a material effect on our financial condition or results of operations. Specifically, these policies have the following attributes: (1) we are required to make judgments and assumptions about matters that are highly uncertain at the time of the estimate; and (2) different estimates

17


we could reasonably have used, or changes in the estimate that are reasonably likely to occur, could have a material effect on our financial position and results of operations.
Estimates and assumptions about future events and their effects cannot be determined with certainty. We base our estimates on historical experience and on various other assumptions believed to be applicable and reasonable under the circumstances. These estimates may change as new events occur, as additional information is obtained and as our operating environment changes. These changes have been included in the condensed consolidated financial statements as soon as they became known. In addition, management is periodically faced with uncertainties, the outcomes of which are not within its control and will not be known for prolonged periods of time. Certain of these uncertainties are discussed in our 2013 10-K in the sections entitled “Risk Factors” and “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations.” Based on a critical assessment of our accounting policies and the underlying judgments and uncertainties affecting the application of those policies, management believes that our condensed consolidated financial statements are fairly stated in accordance with U.S. GAAP, and provide a fair presentation of our financial position and results of operations.
For more information, please see our critical accounting policies as previously disclosed in our 2013 10-K.
See Note 1 to the condensed consolidated financial statements included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q regarding the impact of recent accounting pronouncements on our financial position and results of operations.
Results of Operations for the Three and Six Month Periods Ended June 30, 2014 and 2013
We are a worldwide leader in the design, development, manufacture and support of defect inspection, advanced packaging lithography, process control metrology, and data analysis systems and software used by microelectronic device manufacturers. We provide process and yield management solutions used in both wafer processing and final manufacturing through a family of standalone systems for macro-defect inspection, lithography, probe card test and analysis, and transparent and opaque thin film measurements. All Rudolph systems feature sophisticated software and production-worthy automation. Rudolph systems are backed by worldwide customer support.
Rudolph’s business is affected by the annual spending patterns of our customers on semiconductor capital equipment. The amount that our customers devote to capital equipment spending depends on a number of factors, including general worldwide economic conditions as well as other economic drivers such as personal computer, tablet, cell phone, other personal electronic devices and automotive sales. Current forecasts by industry analysts for the semiconductor device manufacturing industry project a year-over-year increase in capital spending of approximately 5% to 10% for 2014. We monitor capital equipment spending through announced capital spending plans by our customers and monthly-published industry data such as the book-to-bill ratio. The book-to-bill ratio is a 3-month running statistic that compares bookings or orders placed with capital equipment suppliers to billings or shipments. A book-to-bill above 1.0 shows that semiconductor device equipment manufacturers are ordering equipment at a pace that exceeds the equipment suppliers’ shipments for the period. The 3-month rolling average North American semiconductor equipment book-to-bill ratio was 1.1 at June 30, 2014, an increase from the book-to-bill ratio of 1.0 at December 31, 2013.
Historically, a significant portion of our revenues in each quarter and year has been derived from sales to relatively few customers, and we expect this trend to continue. For the six month period ended June 30, 2014 and for the years ended December 31, 2013, 2012 and 2011, sales to customers that individually represented at least five percent of our revenues accounted for 32.2%, 41.6%, 50.9%, and 43.6% of our revenues, respectively.
We do not have purchase contracts with any of our customers that obligate them to continue to purchase our products, and they could cease purchasing products from us at any time. A delay in purchase or cancellation by any of our large customers could cause quarterly revenues to vary significantly. In addition, during a given quarter, a significant portion of our revenues may be derived from the sale of a relatively small number of systems. The following table lists the average selling price for our systems:

System
 
Average Selling Price Per System
Macro-defect inspection and probe card and test analysis
 
$250,000 to $1.7 million
Transparent film measurement
 
$800,000 to $1.2 million
Opaque film measurements
 
$1.0 million to $1.8 million
Lithography steppers
 
$3.0 million to $4.0 million


A significant portion of our revenues has been derived from customers outside of the United States.  We expect that revenues generated from customers outside of the United States will continue to account for a significant percentage of our revenues.

The sales cycle for our systems typically ranges from six to 15 months, and can be longer when our customers are evaluating new technology. Due to the length of these cycles, we invest significantly in research and development and sales and marketing in advance of generating revenues related to these investments.
Revenues. Our revenues are primarily derived from the sale of our systems, services, spare parts and software licensing.  Our revenue was $43.0 million and $84.7 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, compared to $46.1 million and $87.7 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013, representing decreases of 6.6% and 3.5% in the year-over-year periods, respectively.

Total systems and software revenue decreased for the six months ended June 30, 2014 compared to the six months ended June 30, 2013. Year-over-year there was decreased customer demand for our inspection systems which contributed to a lower number of inspection systems sold during the six months ended June 30, 2014 as compared to the same period in the prior year. As a result, inspection systems revenue decreased $10.9 million for the 2014 period compared to the 2013 period. The number of metrology systems sold during the six months ended June 30, 2014 was significantly higher compared to the same period in the prior year, resulting in an increase in metrology systems revenue of $4.2 million for the 2014 period. Lithography system revenue was relatively flat for the six months ended June 30, 2014 as we sold the same number of lithography systems in both periods. The year-over-year increase in data analysis and review software revenue for the six months ended June 30, 2014 of $3.9 million is primarily due to increased sales in licensing revenue.  As a result, the decrease in total revenue for the 2014 period was caused by decreased volume rather than pricing changes as the average selling price of similarly configured systems has been consistent across the year-over-year periods. Systems revenue generated by our latest product releases and major enhancements in each of our product families amounted to 57% and 58% of total revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, compared to 68% and 67% of total revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013.  The year-over-year decrease in total parts and services revenue for the six month period ended June 30, 2014 is primarily due to decreased spending by our customers on system upgrades and repairs of existing systems. Parts and services revenues are generated from part sales, maintenance service contracts, system upgrades, as well as time and material billable service calls. 
Deferred revenues of $10.4 million are recorded in the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets within the caption “Other current liabilities” at June 30, 2014 and primarily consist of $5.0 million for systems awaiting acceptance and outstanding deliverables and $5.4 million for deferred maintenance agreements.
Gross Profit. Our gross profit has been and will continue to be affected by a variety of factors, including manufacturing efficiencies, excess and obsolete inventory write-offs, pricing by competitors or suppliers, new product introductions, production

19


volume, customization and reconfiguration of systems, international and domestic sales mix, and parts and service margins. Our gross profit was $23.3 million and $44.9 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, compared to $23.5 million and $45.4 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2013.  Our gross profit represented 54.2% and 53.0% of our revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 and 51.1% and 51.7% of our revenues for the same periods in the prior year.  The increase in gross profit as a percentage of revenue for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 compared to the same period in the prior year is primarily due to product mix.
Operating Expenses. Major components of operating expenses include research and development as well as selling, general and administrative expenses.     
Research and Development.  Our research and development expense was $10.8 million and $20.8 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, compared to $10.2 million and $19.9 million for the same period in the prior year.  Research and development expense represented 25.2% and 24.6% of our revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, compared to 22.2% and 22.7% of revenues for the prior year period.  The year-over-year dollar increase for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 in research and development expenses primarily reflects an increase in compensation and project costs related to our lithography systems group.
Selling, General and Administrative.     Our selling, general and administrative expense was $21.3 million and $32.1 million for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, compared to $10.5 million and $20.8 million for the same period in the prior year.  Selling, general and administrative expense represented 49.5% and 37.9% of our revenues for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, compared to 22.8% and 23.7% of our revenues for the same period in the prior year.  The year-over-year dollar increase for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 in selling, general and administrative expense was primarily due to higher litigation expenses of $9.6 million related to the final judgment awarded to ITC. For further information, see Note 9 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
Income Taxes.  For the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014, we recorded income tax benefits of $6.6 million and $6.9 million, respectively. Our effective tax rate of 59.9% and 57.3% differs from the statutory rate of 35% for the three and six month periods ended June 30, 2014 primarily due to projected foreign tax expense in excess of foreign tax credits generated in 2014.
We currently have a partial valuation allowance recorded against our deferred tax assets. Each quarter we assess the likelihood that we will be able to recover our deferred tax assets primarily relating to state R&D credits. We consider available evidence, both positive and negative, including historical levels of income, expectations and risks associated with estimates of future taxable income and ongoing prudent and feasible tax planning strategies in assessing the need for a valuation allowance. As a result of our analysis, we concluded that it is more likely than not that a portion of our net deferred tax assets will not be realized. Therefore, we continue to provide a valuation allowance against certain net deferred tax assets. We continue to closely monitor available evidence and may reverse some or all of the valuation allowance in future periods, if appropriate.
Litigation. As discussed in Part II, Item 1 of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q (“Legal Proceedings”), we are subject to legal proceedings and claims, which includes, among other things, our litigation with ITC in a patent infringement action related to the predictive scrub feature of our PrecisionPoint™, PrecisionWoRx® and ProbeWoRx® products in which we were the defendants (the “ITC Litigation”). See Legal Proceedings for a discussion of this action and the District Court’s adverse order affirming the jury award and ordering other relief in this matter, the ruling obtained from the U.S. Federal Court of Appeals, the ruling by the U.S. Supreme Court and the payment of the assessed $10.6 million judgment by the Company.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
At June 30, 2014, we had $177.3 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and $266.1 million in working capital.  At December 31, 2013, we had $167.4 million of cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities and $265.3 million in working capital. 
Operating activities provided $10.7 million in net cash and cash equivalents for the six month period ended June 30, 2014.  The net cash and cash equivalents provided by operating activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2014 was primarily a result of net loss, adjusted to exclude the effect of non-cash operating charges of $4.7 million and changes in operating assets and liabilities of $6.0 million. Operating activities used $6.1 million in net cash and cash equivalents for the six month period ended June 30, 2013. The net cash and cash equivalents used in operating activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 was primarily a result of changes in operating assets and liabilities of $15.8 million, partially offset by net income adjusted to exclude the effect of non-cash operating charges of $9.7 million.
Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities during the six month period ended June 30, 2014 of $36.2 million was due to the purchase of marketable securities of $110.6 million, and capital expenditures of $1.0 million, partially offset by the proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $75.4 million.  Net cash and cash equivalents used in investing activities

20


during the six month period ended June 30, 2013 of $31.8 million was due to the purchase of marketable securities of $61.4 million, purchase of business of $3.4 million and capital expenditures of $2.5 million, partially offset by the proceeds from sales of marketable securities of $35.4 million.
In 2008, our Board of Directors approved a stock repurchase program of up to 3 million shares of Company common stock with no established end date.  The program allows for repurchases to be made in the open market or through negotiated transactions from time to time. At June 30, 2014, 2.9 million shares remained available for future stock repurchases under this repurchase program. The shares of common stock purchased under the share repurchase program are being retired. For further information, see Note 16 in the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.
From time to time, we evaluate whether to acquire new or complementary businesses, products and/or technologies. We may fund all or a portion of the purchase price of these acquisitions in cash, stock, or a combination of cash and stock.
As of June 30, 2014, we had a $40 million irrevocable standby letter of credit available with Credit Suisse AG which was required to secure the damages assessment in connection with the ITC Litigation discussed in Legal Proceedings. On July 22, 2014, we paid $10.6 million to ITC through a draw down of the letter of credit. Pursuant to the terms of the letter of credit, upon draw down of the funds, the letter of credit was collateralized by securities held in the Company’s investment portfolios which were immediately sold to satisfy the letter of credit payment. The letter of credit was subsequently canceled upon completion of this payment.
Our future capital requirements will depend on many factors, including the timing and amount of our revenues and our investment decisions, which will affect our ability to generate additional cash. We believe that our existing cash, cash equivalents and marketable securities will be sufficient to meet our anticipated cash requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for the next twelve months. Thereafter, if cash generated from operations and financing activities is insufficient to satisfy our working capital requirements, we may seek additional funding through bank borrowings, sales of securities or other means. There can be no assurance that we will be able to raise any such capital on terms acceptable to us or at all.


Item 3.    Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Interest Rate and Credit Market Risk
We are exposed to changes in interest rates and market liquidity including our investments in certain available-for-sale securities. Our available-for-sale securities consist of fixed and variable rate income investments (municipal notes, municipal and corporate bonds and an auction rate security). We continually monitor our exposure to changes in interest rates, market liquidity and credit ratings of issuers from our available-for-sale securities. It is possible that we are at risk if interest rates, market liquidity or credit ratings of issuers change in an unfavorable direction. The magnitude of any gain or loss will be a function of the difference between the fixed or variable rate of the financial instrument and the market rate and our financial condition and results of operations could be materially affected. Based on a sensitivity analysis performed on our financial investments held as of June 30, 2014, an immediate adverse change of 10% in interest rates (e.g. 3.00% to 3.30%) would result in an immaterial decrease in the fair value of our available-for-sale securities and would not have a material impact on our consolidated financial position, results of operations or cash flows.
Foreign Currency Risk
We have branch operations in Taiwan, Singapore and South Korea and wholly-owned subsidiaries in Europe, China and Japan.  Our international subsidiaries and branches operate primarily using local functional currencies.  The intercompany transactions denominated in U.S. dollars appearing on the financial statements of the subsidiaries and branches are remeasured at each quarter-end resulting in gains and losses which are reflected in net income.  A hypothetical 10% appreciation or depreciation in the U.S. dollar relative to the reporting currencies of our foreign subsidiaries at June 30, 2014 would have affected the foreign-currency-denominated non-operating expenses of our foreign subsidiaries by approximately $1.9 million. We cannot accurately predict future exchange rates or the overall impact of future exchange rate fluctuations on our business, results of operations and financial condition.
A substantial portion of our international sales are denominated in U.S. dollars with the exception of Japan and, as a result, we have relatively little exposure to foreign currency exchange risk with respect to these sales. Substantially all our sales in Japan are denominated in Japanese yen. From time to time, we may enter into forward exchange contracts to economically hedge a portion of, but not all, existing and anticipated foreign currency denominated transactions expected to occur within 12 months. The change in fair value of the forward contracts is recognized in “Other expense (income)” in the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations for each reporting period. As of June 30, 2014, we had seven forward contracts outstanding with a total notional contract value of $1.7 million. We do not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.


21


Item 4.  Controls and Procedures
We maintain a set of disclosure controls and procedures, as defined in Rule 13a-15(e) or Rule 15d-15(e) under the Exchange Act, designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed by us in reports that we file or submit under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms and that such information is accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer (“CEO”) and Chief Financial Officer (“CFO”), as appropriate, to allow for timely decisions regarding required disclosure. The disclosure controls and procedures are designed to provide reasonable assurance of achieving the desired control objectives. 
Scope of the Controls Evaluation
The evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures included a review of the controls’ objectives and design, our implementation of the controls and the effect of the controls on the information generated for use in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q. In the course of the evaluation, we sought to identify data errors, control problems or acts of fraud and confirm that appropriate corrective actions, if any, including process improvements, were being undertaken. This type of evaluation is performed on a quarterly basis so that the conclusions of management, including the CEO and CFO, concerning the effectiveness of the controls can be reported in our Quarterly Reports on Form 10-Q and in our Annual Reports on Form 10-K. Many of the components of our disclosure controls and procedures are also evaluated on an ongoing basis by other personnel in our accounting, finance and legal functions. The overall goals of these various evaluation activities are to monitor our disclosure controls and procedures and to modify them on an ongoing basis as necessary. A control system can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the control system’s objectives will be met. 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, have been detected. Over time, controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions or deterioration in the degree of compliance with policies or procedures. Because of inherent limitations in a cost effective control system, misstatements due to error or fraud may occur and not be detected.
Conclusions
As of June 30, 2014, an evaluation of our disclosure controls and procedures was carried out under the supervision and with the participation of our management, including the CEO and CFO. Based on this evaluation, the CEO and CFO have concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective at the reasonable assurance level as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting
There has been no change in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.


PART II    OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1.   Legal Proceedings
For a description of our previously reported legal proceedings refer to “Part I, Item 3 - Legal Proceedings” in our 2013 10-K, as updated in Note 9 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements.

In our ITC Litigation, on June 30, 2014, the U.S. Supreme Court denied the Company’s Petition for a Writ of Certiorari to appeal the basis of the Federal Court of Appeals’ decision affirming the damages award for the pre-August 2007 tools. As a result, the Company paid to ITC $10.6 million on July 22, 2014. This matter is now fully resolved with the sole exception of the issue of remanded attorney’s fees. See Note 9 to the accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for additional information regarding this action.

We are party to other ordinary and routine litigation incidental to our business. We do not expect the outcome of any pending litigation to have a material adverse effect on our consolidated financial position or results of operations.

Item 1A.    Risk Factors
There were no material changes to our risk factors as discussed in Part I, Item 1A - Risk Factors in our 2013 10-K.

In 2008, our Board of Directors authorized a share repurchase program of up to 3 million shares of the Company’s common stock with no established end date. The program allows for repurchases to be made in the open market or through negotiated transactions from time to time. At June 30, 2014, $2.9 million shares remained available for future stock repurchases under this repurchase program. The shares of common stock purchased under the share repurchase program are being retired.
The following table provides details of common stock purchased during the three month period ended June 30, 2014 (in thousands, except per share data):

Item 5.    Other Information
On July 29, 2014, the Company’s Management Agreements with Paul F. McLaughlin and Steven R. Roth, as well as the Company’s Employment Agreements with Michael Plisinski and D. Mayson Brooks, were restated and amended. The restatement consisted of incorporating all prior amendments into a single operating document. The amendments to the agreements reflect certain modifications to clarify certain provisions and other modifications, none of which are deemed material by the Company. The restated and amended agreements provide no increase in base salary, level of annual or long-term incentive compensation, employee benefits, or cash severance amounts and provide no new equity compensation grants. Copies of the restated and amended agreements are included as Exhibits 10.1 through 10.4 to this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q.
