Our six-inch diameter GaAs fab located at our corporate headquarters in Warren, New Jersey, has been operational since 1999. We also have foundry arrangements with several companies to supply alternate technologies and supplement our existing wafer fab capabilities. This structure provides us with access to unique technologies and flexible capacity without the requisite capital investment.

In mid 2014, we implemented a strategic restructuring plan to better address growth opportunities in infrastructure markets and to lower our operating costs (“Strategic Restructuring”). Our strategy included expanding our presence in the infrastructure space and reducing the fixed costs associated with certain legacy mobile activities through a resizing of our staff and manufacturing capability. As an extension of our strategic shift to Infrastructure and migration of our business model, in the second quarter of 2015 we reduced our workforce by approximately 25 employees throughout the Company. The workforce reduction in combination with other cost improvement actions was implemented to achieve annualized savings of approximately $4.5 million.

We were incorporated in Delaware in 1984. Our corporate headquarters are located at 141 Mt. Bethel Road, Warren, New Jersey 07059, and our telephone number at that address is 908-668-5000.

Results of Operations

The following table sets forth unaudited consolidated statements of operations data as a percent of net sales for the periods presented:

Net Sales. Net sales decreased 32.1% during the second quarter of 2015 to $15.8 million from $23.3 million in the second quarter of 2014. For the six months ended July 4, 2015, net sales were $34.2 million, a 26.4% decrease from net sales of $46.5 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014. The net sales decreases primarily resulted from a decrease in market demand for our Mobile products in line with our Strategic Restructuring toward Infrastructure, partly offset by increased Infrastructure product sales.

Sales of Infrastructure products increased 12.6% during the second quarter of 2015 to $11.4 million from $10.2 million in the second quarter of 2014. For the six months ended July 4, 2015, net sales of Infrastructure products increased 21.0% to $23.4 million from $19.4 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014. The increases in sales were primarily due to increased demand for our Wifi and small cell infrastructure products, which is in line with the Company expanding its focus in the infrastructure space.

Sales of Mobile products decreased 66.8% during the second quarter of 2015 to $4.4 million from $13.1 million in the second quarter of 2014. For the six months ended July 4, 2015, net sales of Mobile products decreased 60.3% to $10.8 million from $27.1 million for the six months ended June 28, 2014. The decreases in sales were primarily due to decreased demand for our cellular products used in mobile applications.

Gross Margin. Gross margin during the second quarter of 2015 increased to 18.8% of net sales from 2.8% of net sales in the second quarter of 2014. For the six months ended July 4, 2015, gross margin improved to 20.4% of net sales from 6.3% of net sales for the six months ended June 28, 2014. The second quarter of 2014 included a non-recurring period charge of $2.1 million for excess inventory write-downs on Mobile products. After allowing for the aforementioned non-recurring charge, the increases in gross margin were primarily due to manufacturing cost improvements achieved from restructuring and the increase in better margin Infrastructure product mix, despite the reduction in revenue.

Research and Development. Company-sponsored research and development expenses decreased 30.3% to $5.1 million during the second quarter of 2015 from $7.3 million during the second quarter of 2014. Company-sponsored research and development expenses for the six months ended July 4, 2015 decreased 35.1% to $10.3 million from $15.8 million during the six months ended June 28, 2014. The decreases were primarily due to cost savings achieved from restructuring and improved spending focus on our key projects.

Selling and Administrative. Selling and administrative expenses decreased 22.4% to $3.5 million during the second quarter of 2015 from $4.5 million during the second quarter of 2014. Selling and administrative expenses for the six months ended July 4, 2015 decreased 24.2% to $7.3 million from $9.7 million during the six months ended June 28, 2014. The decreases were primarily due to savings achieved from our Strategic Restructuring.

RESTRUCTURING CHARGES.      During the three and six months ended July 4, 2015, we implemented a workforce reduction that eliminated approximately 25 positions throughout the Company, and recorded a restructuring charge of $0.6 million for severance, related benefits and other costs. During the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, we implemented workforce reductions that eliminated approximately 60 and 100 positions, respectively, throughout the Company, and recorded restructuring charges of approximately $0.7 million and $2.1 million, respectively, for severance, related benefits and other costs.

During the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, Restructuring charges also included a $3.7 million fixed assets restructuring charge to write down certain surplus manufacturing assets to their current market value based on expected cash proceeds for the sale of these fixed assets.

INTEREST AND OTHER (EXPENSE) INCOME, NET. During the three and six months ended June 28, 2014, Interest and other (expense) income, net of $0.5 million and $1.7 million, respectively, were primarily from redemption proceeds received on two of our auction rate securities which were in excess of our amortized cost basis.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

As of July 4, 2015, we had $15.2 million in cash and cash equivalents, of which $4.0 million was drawn from our revolving line of credit.

Operating activities used $3.2 million in cash during the six month period ended July 4, 2015, primarily as a result of our operating results adjusted for non-cash expenses, as partly offset by $1.5 million of cash provided by working capital movements. Investing activities used $0.1 million of cash during the six month period ended July 4, 2015 consisting principally of purchases of fixed assets. Financing activities include an $8.0 million repayment on our working capital credit line facility, fully offset with an $8.0 million credit line facility borrowing for the six month period ended July 4, 2015.

We had unconditional purchase obligations at July 4, 2015 of approximately $1.2 million.

Historically, we have operated at a loss and have not consistently generated sufficient cash from operations to cover our operating and other cash expenses. In mid-2014, we implemented a strategic restructuring plan that we believed would place increased emphasis on infrastructure markets, lower operating costs and position the business for improved operating results. By the three months ended April 4, 2015, our infrastructure revenue improved, costs were lowered and operating losses were reduced in keeping with the strategic restructuring plan. However, subsequent to that date, unexpected declines in revenues resulted in an increase in operating losses. Therefore, the delayed improvement in infrastructure revenue is forecast to result in operating losses into 2016, larger than those foreseen under the strategic restructuring plan. Additionally, in future periods it is possible that we will not maintain compliance with certain covenants under our revolving credit facility which could result in outstanding borrowings being immediately due and payable and the termination of the revolving credit facility. The combination of these factors raises substantial doubt about our ability to continue as a going concern in 2016. Management’s plans to overcome these difficulties include financing all or part of its operations through additional equity or debt financing. However, there can be no assurance that additional financing will be available on satisfactory terms or at all. We also expect to continue to aggressively pursue available sales opportunities, work with distributors and end users to grow future sales, and continue to control costs. The ability to continue as a going concern in 2016 is dependent upon increasing infrastructure revenue, continuing to control costs and obtaining the necessary financing to meet obligations and repay liabilities arising from normal business operations when they come due. If we are unable to execute our operating plan, increase our infrastructure revenue, continue to control costs and raise additional capital, we will not have adequate capital to satisfy operational needs and anticipated capital needs for the next twelve months.

RECENTLY ADOPTED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In April 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-08, Reporting Discontinued Operations and Disclosures of Disposals of an Entity, which changes the criteria for determining which disposals can be presented as discontinued operations and modifies the related disclosure requirements. The ASU became effective January 1, 2015. Adoption of this guidance did not impact our consolidated financial statements.

IMPACT OF RECENTLY ISSUED ACCOUNTING STANDARDS

In June 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-12, Accounting for Share-Based Payments When the Terms of an Award Provide That a Performance Target Could Be Achieved after the Requisite Service Period. The guidance states that a performance target in a share-based payment that affects vesting and that could be achieved after the requisite service period should be accounted for as a performance condition. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2015 and early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the impact of adopting this guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, Revenue from Contracts with Customers, which will replace most current revenue recognition guidance. The core principle of the ASU is that an entity should recognize revenue for the transfer of goods or services equal to the amount that it expects to be entitled to receive for those goods or services. It also requires additional disclosures about the nature, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from customer contracts, including significant judgments and changes in judgments. The ASU permits the initial application to be applied either retrospectively to each prior reporting period presented, or retrospectively with a cumulative effect adjustment made at the date of initial application. The guidance is effective for annual and interim periods beginning after December 15, 2016. In July 2015, the FASB approved a one year deferral of the effective date of this standard to December 15, 2017 and early adoption of the standard, but not before the original effective date of December 15, 2016. We are evaluating the transition methods and the impact of the amended guidance on our consolidated financial statements.

FORWARD-LOOKING STATEMENTS

This quarterly report on Form 10-Q contains projections and other forward-looking statements (as that term is defined in the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended). These projections and forward-looking statements reflect the Company’s current views with respect to future events and financial performance and can generally be identified as such because the context of the statement will include words such as “believe”, “anticipate”, “expect”, or words of similar import. Similarly, statements that describe our future plans, objectives, estimates or goals are forward-looking statements. No assurances can be given, however, that these events will occur or that these projections will be achieved, and actual results and developments could differ materially from those projected as a result of certain factors. Such factors include, but are not limited to, those risk factors listed in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014. The Company undertakes no obligation to update publicly or revise any forward-looking statement, whether as a result of new information, future developments or otherwise.

Item 3. Quantitative And Qualitative Disclosures About Market Risk

The Company's market risk has not changed significantly from the risks disclosed in Item 7A of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2014.

ITem 4. Controls and Procedures 

        We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC) is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC’s 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 timely decisions regarding required disclosure. As of July 4, 2015, an evaluation was performed under the supervision and with the participation of our Management, including our CEO and CFO, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) under the U.S. Securities Exchange Act of 1934). Based on that evaluation, our management, including our CEO and CFO, concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of July 4, 2015.

There was no change in the Company’s internal control over financial reporting during the Company’s last fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company’s internal control over financial reporting.

Because of their inherent limitations, disclosure controls and procedures and internal control over financial reporting may not prevent or detect misstatements. Also, projections of any evaluation of effectiveness to future periods are subject to the risk that controls may become inadequate because of changes in conditions, or that the degree of compliance with the policies or procedures may deteriorate.
