NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1 — Significant Accounting Policies

Radisys Corporation (the “Company” or “Radisys”) has adhered to the accounting policies set forth in its Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 in preparing the accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements. The preparation of these statements in conformity with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“GAAP”) requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets, liabilities, revenues, expenses and related disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities. Actual results could differ from those estimates. Additionally, the accompanying financial data as of September 30, 2017 and for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 has been prepared by the Company, without audit, pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”). Certain information and footnote disclosures normally included in financial statements prepared in accordance with GAAP have been omitted pursuant to such rules and regulations. However, the Company believes that the disclosures are adequate to make the information presented not misleading. These condensed consolidated financial statements should be read in conjunction with the consolidated financial statements and the notes thereto included in the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

Certain changes in presentation have been made to conform prior presentations to the current year's presentation in the condensed consolidated statement of cash flows within cash flows from operating and cash flows from financing activities.

The financial information included herein reflects all normal recurring adjustments that are, in the opinion of management, necessary for a fair presentation of the results for interim periods.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the "FASB") issued Accounting standards Update No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (''ASU 2016-16''). ASU 2016-16 modifies how intra-entity transfer of assets other than inventory are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. ASU 2016-16 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017. The Company recognized a tax charge of $2.0 million related to intra-entity transactions other than inventory which could not be previously recognized. The unrecognized tax charge is reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Shared-Based Payment Accounting (''ASU 2016-09''). ASU 2016-09 simplifies how several aspects of share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. The Company adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017. Upon adoption, the Company no longer uses a forfeiture rate in the calculation of stock based compensation expense. The impact of this election did not result in a significant charge to retained earnings from applying an estimated forfeiture rate in previous periods. The balance of the unrecognized excess tax benefits was reversed with the impact recorded to retained earnings and included changes to the valuation allowance as a result of the adoption. The Company has excess tax benefits for which a benefit could not be previously recognized of $4.5 million. Due to the full valuation allowance on the U.S. deferred tax assets, there was no impact to the financial statements beyond disclosure as a result of this adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet and aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. The Company is currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2016-02 and has not yet determined its impact on the condensed consolidated financial statements.

issued in August 2015, revised the effective date for this ASU to annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, but not earlier than the original effective date of annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, for public entities.

The new standard permits adoption either by using (i) a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or (ii) a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. The Company will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2018. The Company plans to adopt using the modified retrospective approach.

The Company's evaluation of the impact of the new standard on the Company's accounting policies, processes, and system requirements is ongoing. While the Company continues to assess all potential impacts under the new standard, the Company does not believe there will be significant changes to the timing of recognition of hardware sales, software license sales or service contracts.

As part of the Company's preliminary evaluation, the Company also considered the impact of the guidance in ASC 340-40, "Other Assets and Deferred Costs; Contracts with Customers". This guidance requires the capitalization of all incremental costs that we incur to obtain a contract with a customer that the Company would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained, provided the Company expects to recover the costs. The Company preliminarily believes that there will not be significant changes to the timing of the recognition of sales commissions since the Company's commission plan is earned based on the recognition of revenue; however, there is a potential that the amortization period for commission costs may be longer than the contract term in some cases, as the new cost guidance requires entities to determine whether the costs relate to specific anticipated contracts as well.

While the Company continues to assess the potential impacts of the new standard, including the areas described above, the Company cannot reasonably estimate quantitative information related to the impact of the new standard on its financial statements at this time.

Immaterial Revision to Prior Period Financial Statement

The Company has revised the presentation of revenue and cost of sales to separately present those amounts that are associated with service and related activities from those amounts associated with product sales. This change does not impact the Company’s previously reported total revenues, gross margin, loss from operations or net loss for the periods presented.

Note 2 — Fair Value of Financial Instruments

Assets and Liabilities Measured at Fair Value on a Recurring Basis

The Company measures at fair value certain financial assets and liabilities. GAAP specifies a hierarchy of valuation techniques based on whether the inputs to those valuation techniques are observable or unobservable. Observable inputs reflect market data obtained from independent sources, while unobservable inputs reflect the Company's market assumptions. These two types of inputs have created the following fair-value hierarchy:

Level 1— Quoted prices for identical instruments in active markets;

Level 2— Quoted prices for similar instruments in active markets, quoted prices for identical or similar instruments in markets that are not active, and model-derived valuations in which all significant inputs and significant value drivers are observable in active markets; and

Level 3— Valuations derived from valuation techniques in which one or more significant inputs or significant value drivers are unobservable.

Foreign currency forward contracts are measured at fair value using models based on observable market inputs such as foreign currency exchange rates; therefore, they are classified within Level 2 of the valuation hierarchy.

The following table summarizes the fair value measurements for the Company's financial instruments (in thousands):



	Fair Value Measurements as of September 30, 2017
	Total		Level 1	Level 2		Level 3
Foreign currency forward contracts	$	301	—	$	301	—



	Fair Value Measurements as of December 31, 2016
	Total		Level 1	Level 2		Level 3
Foreign currency forward contracts	$	94	—	$	94	—

Note 3 — Accounts Receivable and Other Receivables

Accounts receivable consists of sales to the Company's customers which are generally based on standard terms and conditions. Accounts receivable balances consisted of the following (in thousands):



	September 30, 2017			December 31, 2016
Accounts receivable, gross	$	33,902		$	38,433
Less: allowance for doubtful accounts	(48		)	(55		)
Accounts receivable, net	$	33,854		$	38,378

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the balance in other receivables was $4.3 million and $4.2 million. Other receivables consisted primarily of non-trade receivables including inventory sold to the Company's contract manufacturing partner or other integration partners (on which the Company does not recognize revenue) and net receivables for value-added taxes.

Note 4 — Inventories

Inventories consisted of the following (in thousands):



	September 30, 2017			December 31, 2016
Raw materials	$	21,125		$	24,805
Work-in-process	—			12
Finished goods	4,589			5,005
	25,714			29,822
Less: inventory valuation allowance	(14,659		)	(9,801		)
Inventories, net	$	11,055		$	20,021

Consigned inventory is held at third-party locations, which include the Company's contract manufacturing partner and customers. The Company retains title to the inventory until purchased by the third-party. Consigned gross inventory, consisting of raw materials and finished goods was $11.3 million and $11.8 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

The Company’s consignment inventory with its contract manufacturer consists of inventory transferred from the Company’s prior contract manufacturer as well as inventory that has been purchased by the contract manufacturer as a result of the Company's forecasted demand. The Company was contractually obligated to purchase inventory transferred from the Company's prior contract manufacturer after it aged for 365 days. All transferred inventory not consumed was repurchased by the Company in 2016. The Company is also contractually obligated to purchase inventory that has been purchased by its contract manufacturer as a result of the Company's forecasted demand when the inventory ages beyond 180 days and has no forecasted demand. All of the Company's consigned inventory was held by its contract manufacturing partner as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. The Company records a liability for adverse purchase commitments of inventory owned by its contract manufacturing partner. See Note 7 - Commitments and Contingencies for additional information regarding the Company's adverse purchase commitment liability.

The Company recorded the following charges associated with the valuation of inventory and the adverse purchase commitment liabilities (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Inventory, net	$	5,763	$	1,570	$	6,249	$	4,073
Adverse purchase commitments^(A)	1,278		(289)		1,651		(1,403)
Net charges ^(B)	$	7,041	$	1,281	$	7,900	$	2,670


(A)	When the Company takes possession of inventory reserved for under the adverse purchase liability (Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies), the associated liability is transferred from other accrued liabilities to the excess and obsolete inventory valuation allowance.


(B)	The increase for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 was the result of an inventory charge taken in the current period due to last-time buys from customers for legacy embedded product lines in conjunction with the Company's decision to change contract manufacturers in Asia.

Note 5 — Restructuring and Other Charges

The following table summarizes the Company's restructuring and other charges as presented in the Condensed Consolidated Statement of Operations (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended				Nine Months Ended
	September 30,				September 30,
	2017		2016		2017		2016
Employee-related restructuring expenses	$	1,061	$	655	$	2,318	$	1,456

Facility reductions	57		—		57		—
Restructuring and other charges, net	$	1,344	$	655	$	2,814	$	1,602

Restructuring and other charges includes expenses incurred for employee terminations due to a reduction of personnel resources resulting from modifications of business strategy or business emphasis. Employee-related restructuring expenses include severance benefits, notice pay and outplacement services. Restructuring and other charges may also include expenses incurred associated with acquisition or divestiture activities, facility abandonments and other expenses associated with business restructuring actions.

For the three months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded the following restructuring charges:

•

$1.1 million net expense relating to the severance for 57 employees primarily in Asia and North America in connection with a reduction in legacy Hardware Solutions engineering and support staff as well as rationalization across various other functional organizations to better align with the Company's go-forward strategy. An additional $1.0 million of expense will be recognized over a portion of the notified employees’ respective service terms that span up to the next three quarters;


•	$0.2 million in non-recurring legal expenses; and


•	$0.1 million in facility reductions.

For the three months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded the following restructuring and other charges:


•	$0.7 million net expense relating to the severance for 9 employees whose positions were primarily in North America due to the transition of the Company's supply chain operations to third party integration partners.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, the Company recorded the following restructuring charges:


•	$2.3 million net expense relating to the severance for 87 employees primarily in Asia and North America in connection with a reduction in legacy Hardware Solutions engineering and support staff as well as rationalization across various other functional organizations to better align with the Company's go-forward strategy;


•	$0.4 million in non-recurring legal expenses associated with closing a strategic agreement with a MediaEngine channel partner; and


•	$0.1 million in facility reductions.

For the nine months ended September 30, 2016, the Company recorded the following restructuring and other charges:


•	$1.5 million net expense relating to the severance for 32 employees primarily in connection with a reduction to the Company's hardware engineering presence in Shenzhen as well as reductions in North America due to the transition of the Company's supply chain operations to third party integration partners; and


•	$0.1 million integration-related net expense principally associated with asset disposals and personnel overlap resulting from resource and site consolidation actions.

Accrued restructuring, which is included in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, consisted of the following (in thousands):



	Severance, payroll taxes and other employee benefits			Facility reductions			Total
Balance accrued as of December 31, 2016	$	1,347		$	90		$	1,437
Additions	2,484			57			2,541

Note 6 — Short-Term Borrowings

Silicon Valley Bank

On September 19, 2016, the Company entered into a Credit Agreement (as amended, the “Credit Agreement”) with Silicon Valley Bank (“SVB”), as administrative agent, and the other lenders party thereto. The Credit Agreement replaces the Company’s Third Amended and Restated Loan and Security Agreement with SVB, dated March 14, 2014. On September 5, 2017, the Company entered into the Third Amendment to the Credit Agreement. The following takes into account the terms per the agreement as amended on September 5, 2017.

The Credit Agreement provides for a revolving loan commitment of $30.0 million and has a stated maturity date of September 19, 2019. The Credit Agreement includes a $10.0 million sub-limit for swingline loans and a $5.0 million sub-limit for letters of credit. The Credit Agreement also includes an accordion feature that allows the Company, at any time, to increase the aggregate revolving loan commitments by up to an additional $25.0 million, subject to the satisfaction of certain conditions, including obtaining the lenders’ agreement to participate in the increase.

Borrowings under the Credit Agreement are subject to a borrowing base, which is a formula based upon certain eligible accounts receivable plus a non-formula amount if the Company meets certain liquidity requirements. The principal amount of revolving loans and letters of credit outstanding at any time cannot exceed the lesser of (i) the revolving commitments in effect at such time, and (ii) the sum of the Borrowing Base (as defined in the Credit Agreement) and $2.5 million. Eligible accounts receivable include 85% of certain U.S. accounts receivable and 75% of certain foreign accounts receivable (85% in certain cases).

Outstanding borrowings under the revolving loan commitment bear interest at a per annum rate based upon the Company's Availability (as defined in the Credit Agreement), which means the quotient of the amount available for borrowings under the Credit Agreement divided by the lesser of the total commitment and the borrowing base, calculated as a daily average over the immediately preceding fiscal month. The Credit Agreement provides that the per annum interest rate commencing on

June 30, 2017 when the Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) as measured on a trailing twelve-month basis for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter period is less than $8.0 million will be as follows:


•	When Availability is 70% or more, the interest rate is the prime rate (as published in Wall Street Journal) plus 0.75%;


•	When Availability is 30% or more and less than 70%, the interest rate is the prime rate plus 1.00%; and


•	When Availability is below 30%, the interest rate is the prime rate plus 1.25%.

Commencing on June 30, 2017, if Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as measured on a trailing twelve-month basis for the immediately preceding fiscal quarter period is equal to or greater than $8.0 million, the rate per annum will be as follows:


•	When Availability is 70% or more, the interest rate is the prime rate plus 0.25%;


•	When Availability is 30% or more and less than 70%, the interest rate is the prime rate plus 0.50%; and


•	When Availability is below 30%, the interest rate is the prime rate plus 0.75%.

In addition, commencing on September 5, 2017, the applicable per annum interest rate on the revolving loans outstanding under the Credit Agreement will be increased by 0.50% until the earlier of either (i) Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA (as defined in the Credit Agreement) for two consecutive quarters is greater than or equal to $0 or (ii) the Company raises $15.0 million or more in capital from a source other than the Company or its subsidiaries.

Under the Credit Agreement, the Company is required to make interest payments monthly. The Company is further required to pay $25,000 in annual administrative fees, $82,500 in annual commitment fees and a commitment fee based on the average unused portion of the revolving credit commitment, and certain other fees in connection with letters of credit. The commitment fee is determined as follows and is payable quarterly in arrears:


•	When Availability is 70% or more, the commitment fee is 0.35% of the average unused portion of the revolving credit commitment;


•	When Availability is 30% or more and less than 70%, the commitment fee is 0.325% of the average unused portion of the revolving credit commitment; and


•	When Availability is below 30%, the commitment fee is 0.3% of the average unused portion of the revolving credit commitment.

The Company paid a total of $0.4 million loan origination (and loan modification) fees which were capitalized and will be expensed over the term of the Credit Agreement.

The Credit Agreement requires that the Company comply with financial covenants requiring the Company to maintain a minimum monthly Liquidity Ratio (as defined in the Credit Agreement), measured as of the last day of the applicable month, as follows:



Month Ended	Minimum Liquidity Ratio
8/31/17 through 12/31/17	1.50:1.00
1/31/18 and 2/28/18	1.35:1.00
3/31/2018	1.50:1.00
4/30/18 and 5/31/18	1.35:1.00
6/30/18 and Thereafter	1.50:1.00

Additionally, the Credit Agreement requires the Company to maintain a minimum trailing twelve months Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA in the third and fourth quarter of fiscal year 2017 and each quarter of fiscal year 2018 as follows:



Quarter Ending	Minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA
9/30/17	($4,500,000)
12/31/17	($5,500,000)
3/31/18	($5,000,000)
6/30/18	($5,000,000)
9/30/18	$0
12/31/18	$2,000,000

The Credit Agreement also provides limits for the add-back of certain restructuring costs on a trailing twelve month basis in the calculation of Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA as follows:



12 Month Period Ended	Restructuring Costs
9/30/17	$10,786,000 (inclusive of the quarter ending 9/30/17 non-cash inventory write down)
12/31/17	$10,471,000
3/31/18	$12,235,000
6/30/18	$11,000,000
9/30/18	$3,000,000
12/31/18	$2,000,000

The Credit Agreement also provides that following fiscal year 2017, SVB, as administrative agent, and the required lenders under the Credit Agreement will re-set the required minimum Consolidated Adjusted EBITDA levels for the periods tested in fiscal year 2019.

All obligations under the Credit Agreement are unconditionally guaranteed by the Company's wholly owned subsidiary, Radisys International LLC. The obligations under the Credit Agreement are secured by a first priority lien on the assets of the Company and the subsidiary guarantor. If the Company acquires or forms a material U.S. subsidiary, then that subsidiary will also be required to guarantee the obligations under the Credit Agreement and grant a first priority lien on its assets.

As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the Company had an outstanding balance of $15.0 million and $25.0 million under the Credit Agreement. At September 30, 2017, the Company's gross borrowing availability was $19.4 million and the Company was in compliance with all covenants under the Credit Agreement.

Note 7 — Commitments and Contingencies

Adverse Purchase Commitments

The Company is contractually obligated to reimburse its contract manufacturer for the cost of excess inventory used in the manufacture of the Company's products if there is no alternative use. Estimates for adverse purchase commitments are derived from reports received on a quarterly basis from the Company's contract manufacturer. Increases to this liability are charged to cost of sales. If and when the Company takes possession of inventory reserved for in this liability, the liability is transferred from other accrued liabilities to the excess and obsolete inventory valuation allowance (Note 4 —Inventories and Deferred Cost of Sales).

The adverse purchase commitment liability is included in other accrued liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets and was $2.0 million and $0.3 million as of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016.

Guarantees and Indemnification Obligations

As permitted under Oregon law, the Company has agreements whereby it indemnifies its officers, directors and certain finance employees for certain events or occurrences while an officer, director or employee is or was serving in such capacity at the request of the Company. The term of the indemnification period is for the officer's, director's or employee's lifetime. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is unlimited; however, the Company has a Director and Officer insurance policy that limits its exposure and enables the Company to recover a portion of any future amounts paid. To date, the Company has not incurred any costs associated with these indemnification agreements and, as a result, management believes the estimated fair value of these indemnification agreements is minimal. Accordingly, the Company has not recorded any liabilities for these agreements as of September 30, 2017.

The Company enters into standard indemnification agreements in its ordinary course of business. Pursuant to these agreements, the Company indemnifies, holds harmless, and agrees to reimburse the indemnified party for losses suffered or incurred by the indemnified party, generally the Company's business partners or customers, in connection with patent, copyright or other intellectual property infringement claims by any third party with respect to the Company's current products, as well as claims relating to property damage or personal injury resulting from the performance of services by us or the Company's subcontractors. The maximum potential amount of future payments the Company could be required to make under these indemnification agreements is generally limited. Historically, the Company's costs to defend lawsuits or settle claims relating to such indemnity agreements have been minimal.

Accrued Warranty

The Company provides for the estimated cost of product warranties at the time it recognizes revenue. Products are generally sold with warranty coverage for a period of 12 or 24 months after shipment. Parts and labor are covered under the terms of the warranty agreement. The workmanship of the Company’s products produced by the contract manufacturer is covered under warranties provided by the contract manufacturer for 12 to 24 months. The warranty provision is based on historical experience by product family. The Company engages in extensive product quality programs and processes, including actively monitoring and evaluating the quality of its components suppliers; however ongoing failure rates, material usage and service delivery costs incurred in correcting product failure, as well as specific product class failures out of the Company’s baseline experience, affect the estimated warranty obligation. If actual product failure rates, material usage or service delivery costs differ from estimates, revisions to the estimated warranty liability would be required.

The following is a summary of the change in the Company's warranty accrual reserve (in thousands):



	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
	2017			2016
Warranty liability balance, beginning of the period	$	1,821		$	2,553
Product warranty accruals	346			985
Utilization of accrual	(850		)	(1,489		)
Warranty liability balance, end of the period	$	1,317		$	2,049

At September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, $1.0 million and $1.5 million of the warranty liability balance was included in other accrued liabilities and $0.3 million and $0.4 million was included in other long-term liabilities in the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets.

Liquidity Outlook

At September 30, 2017, the Company's cash and cash equivalents amounted to $12.7 million. The Company believes current cash and cash equivalents, cash expected to be generated from operations, available borrowings under the Silicon Valley Bank line of credit and availability under the $100.0 million unallocated shelf registration statement will satisfy the short and long-term expected working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions, stock repurchases, and other liquidity requirements associated with present business operations. The Company believes current working capital, plus availability under the SVB line of credit, provides sufficient liquidity to operate the business at normal levels; however, to accelerate growth objectives, the Company may, among other available options, raise additional capital in the public or private markets or pursue alternative financing arrangements. If the Company becomes unable to comply with various covenants under the SVB line of credit due to expected declines in orders and shipments predominantly associated with DCEngine products and the timing of orders from large high-margin Software-Systems customers, without an amendment or waiver, the liquidity outlook could be adversely impacted. The Company continues to pursue a number of actions to improve cash position including (i) minimizing capital expenditures, (ii) effectively managing working capital, (iii) seeking amendments or waivers from lenders and (iv) improving cash flows from operations. These efforts continue in earnest and the Company is considering all available strategic alternatives and financing possibilities, including, without limitation, the incurrence of additional secured indebtedness and the exchange or refinancing of existing obligations.

(B)	Performance-based restricted stock units are presented based on attainment of 100% of the performance goals being met.

Note 9 — Income Taxes

The Company's effective tax rate for the three months ended September 30, 2017 differs from the statutory rate due to a full valuation allowance provided against its United States (“U.S.”) net deferred tax assets, and taxes on foreign income that differ from the U.S. tax rate.

The Company utilizes the asset and liability method of accounting for income taxes. The Company records deferred tax assets to the extent it believes these assets will more likely than not be realized. In making such determination, the Company considers all available positive and negative evidence, including scheduled reversals of deferred tax liabilities, projected future taxable income, tax planning strategies, and recent financial performance. Based upon the Company's review of all positive and negative evidence, including its three year U.S. cumulative pre-tax book loss and taxable loss, it concluded that a full and a partial valuation allowance should continue to be recorded against its U.S. and Canadian net deferred tax assets at September 30, 2017. In certain other foreign jurisdictions, where the Company does not have cumulative losses or other negative evidence, the Company had net deferred tax assets of $1.0 million and $1.1 million at September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016. In the future, if the Company determines that it is more likely than not that it will realize its U.S. and Canadian net deferred tax assets, it will reverse the applicable portion of the valuation allowance and recognize an income tax benefit in the period in which such determination is made.

The ending balance for the unrecognized tax benefits for uncertain tax positions was approximately $3.7 million at September 30, 2017. The related interest and penalties were $0.9 million and $0.2 million. The uncertain tax positions, including interest and penalties, that are reasonably possible to decrease in the next twelve months are approximately $0.2 million.

The Company is currently under tax examination in India. The periods covered under examination are the Company's financial years 2005, 2006, 2008 and 2011. The examinations are in various stages of appellate proceedings and all material uncertain tax positions associated with the examination have been taken into account in the ending balance of the unrecognized tax benefits at September 30, 2017. The Company is currently under tax examination in Canada. The periods covered under examination in Canada are the Company's financial years 2013, 2014, 2015 and 2016. No examination adjustments have been proposed. As of September 30, 2017, the Company is not under examination by tax authorities in any other jurisdictions.

Note 10 — Stock-based Compensation

Performance-based restricted stock awards ^(A)	20	55	690	900
Total	70	203	1,397	2,456

(A)

On March 10, 2017, the Compensation Committee approved grants of performance-based restricted stock units ("PRSUs") to certain employees. The awards will vest only on satisfaction of certain performance criteria during two separate annual performance periods and a portion of the award earned will vest upon satisfaction of a time-based service component. 50% of the awards can be earned by meeting strategic revenue targets in fiscal year 2017 and 50% can be earned by meeting strategic revenue targets in fiscal year 2018. One-half of any PRSUs earned during each performance period will vest upon meeting the performance criteria, and the remaining half will be subject to a further time-based service component and will vest one year after meeting the targets. By meeting the relevant performance criteria set forth in the award agreement, employees can earn 0%, 75%, 100% or 125% of the award during each performance period. If an employee earns less than 100% of the award for the 2017 performance period, the employee is eligible to earn the remaining portion of the award in fiscal year 2018 if cumulative 2017 and 2018 strategic revenue targets are met in the two year period. Shares are presented based on attainment of 100% of the performance goals being met. At attainment of 125%, the amount of shares eligible to be earned is 837,500.

On March 28, 2016, the Compensation Committee approved grants of PRSUs to certain senior executives. The PRSUs will vest only on satisfaction of certain annual performance criteria during the performance period beginning on the grant date. Specifically, 50% of shares will vest on meeting targets of strategic revenue during fiscal year 2016 and 50% of shares will vest on meeting targets of strategic revenue during fiscal year 2017, subject to the attainment of achieving certain operating income thresholds defined by the Company's ratified 2017 annual operating plans. The awards have two separate annual performance achievement periods in 2016 and 2017 and vest upon attainment and approval of the respective performance conditions.

The awards associated with strategic revenue targets in 2016 were earned and settled in shares in the three month period ended March 31, 2017.

For the period ended September 30, 2017, management assessed it was no longer probable that the 2016 and 2017 PRSU award targets would be achieved. This resulted in a reversal of $0.4 million of stock compensation expense recorded in the first quarter of 2017 and thus, no expense associated with these awards was recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2017.

Stock-based compensation was recognized and allocated as follows (in thousands):

Note 11 — Hedging

The Company’s activities expose it to a variety of market risks, including the effects of changes in foreign currency exchange rates. The Company manages these risks through the use of forward exchange contracts, designated as foreign-currency cash flow hedges, in an attempt to reduce the potentially adverse effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations that occur in the normal course of business. As such, the Company’s hedging activities are employed solely for risk management purposes. All hedging transactions are conducted with, in the opinion of management, financially stable and reputable financial institutions. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, the only hedge instruments executed by the Company are associated with its exposure to fluctuations in the Indian Rupee, which result from obligations such as payroll and rent paid in this currency.

These derivatives are recognized on the balance sheet at their fair value. Unrealized gain positions are recorded as other current assets and unrealized loss positions are recorded as other current liabilities. Changes in the fair values of the outstanding derivatives that are highly effective are recorded in other comprehensive income until net income (loss) is affected by the variability of the cash flows of the hedged transaction. Typically, hedge ineffectiveness could result when the amount of the Company’s hedge contracts exceed the Company’s forecasted or actual transactions for which the hedge contracts were designed to hedge. Once a hedge contract matures, the associated gain (loss) on the contract will remain in other comprehensive income (loss) until the underlying hedged transaction affects net income (loss), at which time the gain (loss) will be reclassified out of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) and recorded to the expense line item being hedged. The Company only enters into derivative contracts in order to hedge foreign currency exposure, and these contracts do not exceed two years from inception. If the Company entered into a contract for speculative reasons or if the Company’s current hedge position becomes ineffective, changes in the fair values of the derivatives would be recognized in earnings in the current period.

The Company assesses, both at the inception of the hedge and on an ongoing basis, whether the derivatives that are used in hedging transactions have been highly effective in offsetting changes in the cash flows of hedged items and whether those derivatives are expected to remain highly effective in future periods. For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016, the Company had no hedge ineffectiveness.

During the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 the Company entered into 6 and 18 new foreign currency forward contracts, with total contractual values of $3.6 million and $10.5 million. During the three and nine months ended

September 30, 2016, the Company entered into 9 and 30 new foreign currency contracts, with total contractual values of $3.2 million and $9.8 million.

A summary of the aggregate contractual or notional amounts, balance sheet location and estimated fair values of derivative financial instruments designated as cash flow hedges at September 30, 2017 is as follows (in thousands):

Ending balance of unrealized loss on forward exchange contracts	$	(338	)	$	(354	)	$	(338	)	$	(354	)

Over the next twelve months, the Company expects to reclassify into earnings a loss of approximately $1.0 million currently recorded as accumulated other comprehensive income, as a result of the maturity of currently held forward exchange contracts.

The bank counterparties in these contracts expose the Company to credit-related losses in the event of their nonperformance. However, to mitigate that risk, the Company only contracts with counterparties who meet its minimum requirements regarding counterparty credit worthiness. In addition, the Company monitors credit ratings, credit spreads and potential downgrades prior to entering into any new hedging contracts.

Note 12 — Segment Information

The Company is comprised of two operating segments: Software-Systems and Hardware Solutions. The Company's Chief Executive Officer, or chief operating decision maker, regularly reviews discrete financial information for purposes of allocating resources and assessing the performance of each segment:


•	Software-Systems. Software-Systems is comprised of three product lines: FlowEngine, MediaEngine and MobilityEngine, each of which delivers software-centric solutions to service providers.


•	Hardware Solutions. Hardware Solutions includes the Company's DCEngine products and legacy embedded product portfolio which includes hardware solutions targeted for service providers.

Cost of sales, research and development and selling, general and administrative expenses are allocated to Software-Systems and Hardware Solutions. Expenses, reversals, gains and losses not allocated to Software-Systems or Hardware Solutions include amortization of acquired intangible assets, stock-based compensation, restructuring and other charges, and other one-time non-recurring events. These items are allocated to corporate and other.

The Company recorded the following revenues, gross margin and income (loss) from operations by operating segment for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

Item 2. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations

You should read the following discussion and analysis in conjunction with our condensed consolidated financial statements and the related notes included in this Report on Form 10-Q and with Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations contained in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. Unless required by context, or as otherwise indicated, “we,” “us,” “our” and similar terms, as well as references to the “Company” and “Radisys” refer to Radisys Corporation and include all of our consolidated subsidiaries.

Overview

Radisys Corporation (NASDAQ: RSYS), the services acceleration company, helps communications and content providers, and their strategic partners, create new revenue streams and drive cost out of their services delivery infrastructure. Radisys’ hyperscale software defined infrastructure, service aware traffic distribution platforms, real-time media processing engines and wireless access technologies enable its customers to maximize, virtualize and monetize their networks. Our products and services fall within two operating segments: Software-Systems and Hardware Solutions.


•	Software-Systems products are targeted at delivering differentiated solutions for service providers to enable their deployment of next generation networks and technologies. Software-Systems products include the following three product families:

◦

FlowEngine products target the communication service provider traffic management market and is a family of products designed to rapidly classify millions of data flows and then distribute these flows to thousands of Virtualized Network Functions ("VNF"). FlowEngine offloads the processing for packet classification and distribution, improving virtualized function utilization and making the overall Network Functions Virtualization ("NFV") architecture more efficient. A FlowEngine system consists of FlowEngine software running on a Traffic Distribution Engine ("TDE") platform. FlowEngine Software enables communication service providers to efficiently transition towards NFV and software-defined networking ("SDN") architectures allowing increased service agility and quicker time to revenue for new service offerings. FlowEngine accomplishes this by integrating a targeted subset of edge routing, data center switching, and load balancing functionality, coupled with standards based SDN protocols, enabling our customers to significantly reduce the investment necessary to efficiently process data flows in virtualized communications environments.

◦

MediaEngine products are designed into the IP Multimedia Subsystem ("IMS") core of telecom networks, providing the necessary media processing capabilities required for a broad range of applications including Voice over Long-Term Evolution ("VoLTE"), Voice over WiFi (“VoWifi”), Web Real-Time Communication ("WebRTC"), multimedia conferencing, as well as the transcoding required to achieve interoperability between legacy and new generation devices using disparate audio and video codecs. Our MediaEngine OneMRF strategy helps service providers consolidate their real-time IP media processing into a vendor and application agnostic platform, which drives cost out of their service delivery platform and enables accelerated deployment and introduction of new services. We sell a turnkey high density system, the MediaEngine MPX-12000, as well as a virtualized software-only vMRF for customers who require media processing in an NFV architecture or lower-density processing platforms. As service providers consolidate network capacity from older (3G and 2G) architectures onto new LTE architectures, they will deploy IMS and VoLTE applications. Our MediaEngine provides the essential media processing capability that enables service providers to deliver audio, video or other multimedia services over their all-IP networks.

◦

MobilityEngine (previously disclosed as CellEngine) software provides the enabling technology for fifth generation radio access networks (“5G RAN”) and is optimized for spectrum utilization, densification and network slicing to serve multiple users for mobility, latency and capacity. This builds on MobilityEngine’s portfolio of existing solutions for Radio Access Networks (“RAN”) and Evolved Packet Core (“EPC”) for Long-Term Evolution (“LTE”), LTE-Advanced and LTE-Advanced pro. An emerging area of focus is the Internet of Things (“IoT”) market for lower power wireless area networks which are enabled by Category M1 (“Cat-M1”) and Narrowband IoT. MobilityEngine software is licensed to Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMS”), Original Design Manufacturers (“ODMs”) and operators who are building solutions for femtocells, small cells, metrocells, picocells as well as in-building, stadium and smart cities leveraging centralized RAN (“CRAN”). Additionally, we leverage our MobilityEngine technology to enable applications to capture share in adjacent markets such as aerospace and defense, public safety and test and measurement.

◦

Also included in this segment is our Professional Services organization that is staffed with telecommunications experts who are available to assist our customers as they develop their own unique telecommunications products and applications as well as accelerating specific features developed across our Software-Systems product families. Our strategy is to enable the efficient and cost-effective adoption of our Software-Systems products as well as enabling service providers to migrate to next-generation software-defined network deployments.


•	Hardware Solutions leverages our hardware design experience, coupled with our manufacturing, supply chain, integration and service capabilities, to enable continued differentiation from our competition. Our products include the following two primary product families:

◦

DCEngine products include open-based rack-scale systems, utilizing Open Compute Project (“OCP") accepted specifications, which enable service providers to migrate their existing infrastructure to embrace the efficiencies and scale of data center environments. This recently launched product suite brings the economies of the data center and the agility of the cloud to service provider infrastructure, allowing them to accelerate the transformation to cloud based compute, storage and networking fabrics utilizing the best of commodity components, open source hardware specifications and software coupled with world class service and support. The DCEngine platform enables service providers to drive innovation and the rapid scalable delivery of virtualized network functions at the network edge, enabling new services such as storage backup, video on demand and parental controls.

◦

Embedded products which includes our ATCA, computer-on-module express (COM Express) and rack mount servers. These products are predominantly hardware-based and include both our internal designs as well as increasingly leveraging third party hardware which incorporates our management software and services capabilities. Our products enable the control and movement of data in both 3G and LTE telecom networks and provide the hardware enablement for network elements applications such as Deep Packet Inspection ("DPI"), policy management and intelligent gateways (security, femto and LTE gateways). Additionally, our products enable image processing capabilities for healthcare markets and enable cost-effective and energy-efficient computing capabilities dedicated for industrial deployments. Our professional service organization of systems architects, hardware designers, and network experts accelerates our customers' time to market on these revenue generating assets.

Third Quarter 2017 Summary

Due to our meaningful current customer concentration and spending patterns of our large customers, the timing of orders will vary from quarter-to-quarter and materially affect our quarterly comparisons, and as a result, we do not expect year-on-year revenue growth every quarter. Our near-term results will vary and may affect earnings when combined with the continued investment required to support the funnel of sales opportunities with potential and existing customers. This dynamic negatively impacted our third quarter results as consolidated revenue decreased $26.6 million from the same period in 2016.

The following is a summary-level comparison of the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016:

•

Revenues decreased $26.6 million to $28.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $55.4 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. Hardware Solutions revenue decreased $27.5 million, due to a $18.7 million decline in revenue from our DCEngine product line that was the result of program timing and spending patterns from a tier-one U.S. service provider and coupled with expected declines in our legacy embedded products portfolio. Software-Systems revenue increased modestly over prior year resulting from growth in our FlowEngine product line.


•	Gross margin decreased 2,150 basis points to 4.2% for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from 25.7% for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This was the result of a $7.0 million inventory charge in the current period due to last-time buys from customers for legacy embedded products and coupled with our decision to change contract manufacturers in Asia.


•	R&D expense decreased by $0.5 million to $5.6 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $6.1 million in 2016 and was the result of lower variable and stock-based compensation expenses recognized in 2017.


•	SG&A expense decreased $0.5 million to $7.8 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from $8.3 million for the three months ended September 30, 2016. This was the result of lower variable and stock-based compensation expenses recognized in 2017 and offset by headcount growth in sales and marketing.


•	Cash and cash equivalents on September 30, 2017 decreased $20.4 million to $12.7 million from $33.1 million at December 31, 2016. The decrease was the result of a $10.0 million net pay-down on our line of credit, $6.6 million in cash consumption from operations and capital expenditures of $4.5 million.

Total revenues	$	28,773	$	55,397	(48.1	)%	$	101,476	$	171,831	(40.9	)%

Software-Systems. Revenues in our Software-Systems segment increased $0.9 million for the three months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable period in 2016. This was driven by an increase in FlowEngine product revenue tied to initial shipments of our new SDN-enabled appliance and continued commercial deployment of our product by a tier-one U.S. service provider.

Revenues in our Software-Systems segment decreased $6.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable period in 2016. Revenue from two of our top MediaEngine customers declined by $5.7 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to non-linear ordering patterns driven by the timing of network deployments from which we benefited in 2016. Additionally, FlowEngine product revenue declined $4.2 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 as we transition to our new SDN-enabled appliance that we began to deploy in the third quarter of 2017. These declines were offset by increases of $3.8 million for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 in MobilityEngine licensing and professional services revenue as engagements with tier-one service providers continue to increase year-on-year.

Hardware Solutions. Revenues in our Hardware Solutions segment decreased $27.5 million and $64.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable periods in 2016. This was the result of a decline in DCEngine sales of $18.7 million and $45.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 due to program timing with our tier-one U.S. customer in support of their data center build outs for storage applications. Further, we experienced expected revenue declines of $8.8 million and $18.3 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 in non-core legacy hardware products.

Revenue by Geography

The following tables outline overall revenue dollars and the percentage of revenues, by geographic region, for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):

EMEA	40.3		23.3		33.3		19.3
Total	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%	100.0	%

North America. Revenues from North America decreased $23.0 million and $66.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable periods in 2016. This was due to a decline in sales to a tier-one U.S. service provider purchasing both DCEngine and FlowEngine products given timing of this service provider's deployment schedule, which negatively impacted our 2017 results.

Asia Pacific. Revenues from Asia Pacific decreased $2.2 million and $4.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable periods in 2016. This was the result of deployment timing for MediaEngine product from a large Asian service provider in support of their VoLTE network deployment which commercially launched in 2016.

EMEA. Revenues from EMEA decreased $1.3 million and increased $0.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable periods in 2016. This resulted from the timing of MediaEngine software sales to a top channel partner and the timing of shipments to a top five customer deploying our products in medical imaging and related markets.

We currently expect continued fluctuations in the revenue contribution from each geographic region. Additionally, we expect non-U.S. revenues to remain a significant portion of our revenues.

This was the result of the timing of professional services program revenue with a tier-one customer.

Hardware Solutions. Gross margin decreased 3,560 basis points and 640 basis points to (13.2)% and 12.0% for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from 22.4% and 18.4% in the comparable periods of 2016. This was the result of an inventory charge taken in the current period due to last-time buys from customers for legacy embedded product lines in conjunction with our decision to change contract manufacturers in Asia.

Corporate and other. Gross margin increased $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable periods in 2016 as a result of a decrease in stock compensation expense. Items in Corporate and other cost of sales includes intangible asset amortization, stock compensation, and restructuring and other expenses which are not allocated to our operating segments.

Operating Expenses

The following table summarizes our operating expenses for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended					Nine Months Ended
	September 30,					September 30,
	2017		2016		Change	2017		2016		Change

Total	$	15,121	$	16,329	(7.4)%	$	49,181	$	47,940	2.6%

Research and Development

R&D expenses consist primarily of personnel costs, product development costs, and related equipment expenses. R&D expenses decreased $0.5 million and increased $0.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable periods in 2016. The decrease for the three months ended September 30, 2017 was the result of a decrease in variable and stock-based compensation expense. The slight increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was the result of higher salary and product development related expenses in the first quarter of 2017 relative to the comparable period of 2016 associated with new product development initiatives. Headcount decreased to 281 at September 30, 2017 from 313 at September 30, 2016.

Selling, General, and Administrative

SG&A expenses consist primarily of salary, commissions, bonuses and benefits for sales, marketing and administrative personnel, as well as professional service providers and the costs of other general corporate activities. SG&A expenses decreased $0.5 million and increased $0.9 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable periods in 2016. The decrease in the three months ended September 30, 2017 was primarily due to a decrease in variable, commission and stock-based compensation expense partially offset by additions to the sales and marketing headcount in support of our strategic revenue growth initiatives. The increase for the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was due to higher salary, hiring-related and marketing-related expenses in the first quarter of 2017. Headcount increased to 141 at September 30, 2017 from 132 at September 30, 2016.

Intangible Asset Amortization

Intangible asset amortization for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 decreased $1.0 million from the comparable periods in 2016 due to several assets reaching the end of their useful lives. During the quarter ended September 30, 2017, we analyzed our long-lived assets for impairment and concluded that there was none.

Restructuring and Other Charges, Net

Restructuring and other charges, net includes expenses associated with restructuring activities and other non-recurring gains and losses which are not indicative of our ongoing business operations. We evaluate the adequacy of the accrued restructuring charges on a quarterly basis. As a result, we record reversals to the accrued restructuring in the period in which we determine that expected restructuring and other obligations are less than the amounts accrued.

Restructuring and other charges, net increased $0.7 million and $1.2 million to $1.3 million and $2.8 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from $0.7 million and $1.6 million in the comparable periods in 2016.

Restructuring and other charges, net for the three months ended September 30, 2017 include the following:


•	$1.1 million net expense relating to the severance for 57 employees primarily in Asia and North America in connection with a reduction in legacy Hardware Solutions engineering and support staff as well as rationalization across various other functional organizations to better align with our go-forward strategy. An additional $1.0 million

of expense will be recognized over a portion of the notified employees’ respective service terms that span up to the next three quarters;


•	$0.2 million in non-recurring legal expenses; and


•	$0.1 million in facility reductions in Asia.

Restructuring and other charges, net for the three months ended September 30, 2016 include the following:


•	$0.7 million net expense relating to the severance for 9 employees whose positions were primarily in North America due to the transition of our supply chain operations to third party integrations partners.

Restructuring and other charges, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2017, include the following:


•	$2.3 million net expense relating to the severance for 87 employees primarily in Asia and North America in connection with a reduction in legacy Hardware Solutions engineering and support staff as well as rationalization across various other functional organizations to better align with our go-forward strategy;


•	$0.4 million in non-recurring legal expenses associated with closing a strategic agreement with a MediaEngine channel partner; and


•	$0.1 million in facility reductions in Asia.

Restructuring and other charges, net for the nine months ended September 30, 2016 include the following:


•	$1.5 million net expense relating to the severance for 32 employees primarily in connection with a reduction to our hardware engineering presence in Shenzhen as well as reductions in North America due to the transition of our supply chain operations to third party integration partners; and


•	$0.1 million integration-related net expense principally associated with asset disposals and subsidiary liquidations resulting from resource and site consolidation actions.

Stock-based Compensation Expense

Included within cost of sales, R&D and SG&A are stock-based compensation expenses that consist of the amortization of unvested stock options, performance-based awards, restricted stock units and employee stock purchase plan ("ESPP") expense. We incurred and recognized stock-based compensation expense as follows (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended							Nine Months Ended
	September 30,							September 30,
	2017			2016		Change		2017		2016		Change
Cost of sales	$	(3	)	$	124	(102.4	)%	$	134	$	301	(55.5	)%
Research and development	22			238		(90.8	)	365		676		(46.0	)
Selling, general and administrative	105			625		(83.2	)	1,317		1,890		(30.3	)
Total	$	124		$	987	(87.4	)%	$	1,816	$	2,867	(36.7	)%

Stock-based compensation expense decreased by $0.9 million and $1.1 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable periods in 2016 primarily as a result of the timing of new performance-based awards and restricted stock units granted in 2016 and 2017. In the nine months ended September 30, 2017, no stock compensation expense was recognized for the PRSUs described in Note 10 - Stock-based Compensation, resulting in a reversal of $0.4 million of stock compensation expense recorded in the first quarter of 2017, as it was deemed not probable that the performance targets would be achieved as of September 30, 2017.

Income (Loss) from Operations

The following table summarizes our income (loss) from operations (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
	September 30,								September 30,

Software-Systems. Income (loss) from operations declined by $0.2 million and $6.2 million to a loss of $2.4 million and $7.6 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable periods in 2016. This was the result of the previously described $0.8 million and $7.1 million declines in gross margin over the comparable periods in 2016. The decreases were partially offset by reductions in operating expenses due to less variable compensation and other salary-related expenses in the current year.

Hardware Solutions. Income (loss) from operations declined by $12.8 million and $18.9 million to a loss of $7.9 million and $9.0 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable periods in 2016. This was the result of the previously described declines in gross margin of $12.4 million and $16.2 million as well as increased operating expenses related to increased headcount in both R&D and SG&A tied to supporting our DCEngine growth initiatives.

Corporate and other. Corporate and other loss from operations include amortization of intangible assets, stock compensation, restructuring and other expenses. Loss from operations improved by $1.1 million and $0.8 million to $3.7 million and $13.2 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable periods in 2016 primarily due to the decrease in stock compensation expense and intangible asset amortization.

Non-Operating Expenses

The following table summarizes our non-operating expenses (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended								Nine Months Ended
	September 30,								September 30,
	2017			2016			Change		2017			2016			Change
Interest expense	$	(431	)	$	(116	)	271.6	%	$	(927	)	$	(392	)	136.5	%
Interest income	78			53			47.2		167			137			21.9

Total	$	(547	)	$	139		(493.5	)%	$	(1,470	)	$	1,071		(237.3	)%

Interest Expense

Interest expense includes interest incurred on our revolving line of credit. The increase in interest expense for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017 from the comparable periods in 2016 was the result of increased intra-quarter draws on our line of credit for working capital needs as well as higher average interest rates resulting from the amendment to our debt agreement.

Other Income, Net

For the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017, other income declined $0.4 million and $2.0 million from the comparable periods in 2016. The decrease was due to currency movements, primarily the Indian Rupee and Chinese Yuan, against the US Dollar as well as a $0.3 million loss recognized in the three months ended September 30, 2017 and a $0.4 million gain recognized in the nine months ended September 30, 2016 on the realization of cumulative translation adjustments associated with the liquidation of certain foreign entities.

Income Tax Provision

The following table summarizes our income tax provision (in thousands):



	Three Months Ended						Nine Months Ended
	September 30,						September 30,
	2017		2016		Change		2017		2016		Change
Income tax expense	$	938	$	694	35.2	%	$	1,747	$	1,800	(2.9	)%

We recorded tax expense of $0.9 million and $1.7 million for the three and nine months ended September 30, 2017. Our effective tax rates for the three months ended September 30, 2017 and 2016 were 6.5% and 35.7%, respectively. The effective tax rate fluctuation was due to an increase of $12.5 million in net loss before income tax expense as well as income tax rate differences among the jurisdictions in which pretax income (loss) is generated, as well as the impact of the full valuation allowance against our U.S. net deferred tax assets.

Liquidity and Capital Resources

The following table summarizes selected financial information as of the dates indicated (in thousands):



	September 30, 2017		December 31, 2016		September 30, 2016
Cash and cash equivalents	$	12,682	$	33,087	$	27,479

Accounts payable	20,565		20,805		32,391
Line of credit	15,000		25,000		25,000

Cash Flows

As of September 30, 2017, the amount of cash held by our foreign subsidiaries was $4.5 million. We do not permanently reinvest funds in certain of our foreign entities, and we expect to repatriate cash from these foreign entities on an ongoing basis in future periods. Repatriation of funds from these foreign entities is not expected to result in significant cash tax payments due to the utilization of previously generated operating losses of our U.S. entity.

Cash and cash equivalents decreased by $20.4 million to $12.7 million as of September 30, 2017 from $33.1 million as of December 31, 2016. Activities impacting cash and cash equivalents were as follows (in thousands):



	Nine Months Ended
	September 30,
	2017			2016
Operating Activities
Net loss	(32,973		)	$	(6,194	)
Non-cash adjustments	23,168			18,043
Changes in operating assets and liabilities	3,222			(9,209		)
Cash provided by (used in) operating activities	(6,583		)	2,640
Cash used in investing activities	(4,544		)	(3,420		)

Effects of exchange rate changes	427			216
Net increase (decrease) in cash and cash equivalents	$	(20,405	)	$	6,715

Cash used in operating activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 was $6.6 million. For the nine months ended September 30, 2017, primary impacts to changes in our working capital consisted of the following:


•	Accounts receivable decreased $4.5 million due to an $11.8 million decrease in sales in the current quarter compared to the fourth quarter 2016, offset by the $7.4 million accounts receivable balance at September 30, 2017 which related to 2016 shipments with extended payment terms;


•	Inventories decreased $2.7 million as the result of the timing of DCEngine shipments;


•	Accounts payable was flat period over period due to the timing of fulfilling inventory orders with our contract manufacturing partners;


•	Accrued wages and bonuses decreased $3.1 million due to the payment of accrued severance and bonuses;


•	Short-term and long-term deferred revenue decreased $1.2 million due to the recognition of deferred service contracts.

Cash used in investing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $4.5 million was associated with ongoing capital expenditures.

Cash used in financing activities during the nine months ended September 30, 2017 of $9.7 million was due to net repayments of $10.0 million on our Silicon Valley Bank line of credit. We expect to continue to borrow additional funds against our line of credit to meet short term intra-quarter needs on an ongoing basis; however, we expect to repay any such borrowings within the quarter as we navigate the timing of customer payments and payables to our suppliers.

Line of Credit

Our primary source of liquidity, aside from our current working capital, is our ability to borrow under our revolving credit facility. As of September 30, 2017 and December 31, 2016, we had an outstanding balance of $15.0 million and $25.0 million. At September 30, 2017, we had $19.4 million of total borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility. At September 30, 2017, we were in compliance with all covenants under our revolving credit facility. See Note 6 - Short-Term Borrowings for additional information regarding our revolving credit facility.

Contractual Obligations

Our contractual obligations as of December 31, 2016 are summarized in Item 7 - "Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations - Liquidity and Capital Resources - Contractual Obligations," of the Company's Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. For the three months ended September 30, 2017, there have been no material changes in our contractual obligations outside the ordinary course of business. As of September 30, 2017, we have agreements regarding foreign currency forward contracts with total contractual values of $16.3 million that mature through 2017.

In addition to the above, we have approximately $3.7 million associated with unrecognized tax benefits. We are not able to reasonably estimate when we would make any cash payments required to settle these liabilities, but do not believe the ultimate settlement of our obligations will materially affect our liquidity.

Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements

We do not engage in any activity involving special purpose entities or off-balance sheet financing.

Liquidity Outlook

At September 30, 2017, our cash and cash equivalents amounted to $12.7 million. We believe our current cash and cash equivalents, cash expected to be generated from operations, available borrowings under our Silicon Valley Bank line of credit and availability under our $100.0 million unallocated shelf registration statement will satisfy our short and long-term expected working capital needs, capital expenditures, acquisitions, stock repurchases, and other liquidity requirements associated with our present business operations. We believe our current working capital, plus availability under the SVB line of credit, provides sufficient liquidity to operate the business at normal levels; however, to accelerate our growth objectives or to provide a resource for any unanticipated disruptions in our business strategy or operations, we may, among other available options, raise additional capital in the public or private markets or pursue alternative financing arrangements. If we become unable to comply with various covenants under our SVB line of credit due to expected declines in orders and shipments predominantly associated with our DCEngine products and the timing of orders from our large high-margin Software-Systems customers, without an amendment or waiver, our liquidity outlook could be adversely impacted. We continue to pursue a number of actions to improve our cash position including (i) minimizing capital expenditures, (ii) effectively managing working capital, (iii) seeking amendments or waivers from lenders and (iv) improving cash flows from operations. These efforts continue in earnest and we are considering all available strategic alternatives and financing possibilities, including, without limitation, the incurrence of additional secured indebtedness and the exchange or refinancing of existing obligations.

Recent Accounting Pronouncements

In October 2016, the Financial Accounting Standards Board (the “FASB”) issued Accounting standards Update No. 2016-16, Income Taxes (Topic 740): Intra-Entity Transfers of Assets Other Than Inventory (''ASU 2016-16''). ASU 2016-16 modifies how intra-entity transfer of assets other than inventory are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. ASU 2016-16 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2017. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017. We recognized a tax charge of approximately $2.0 million related to intra-entity transactions other than inventory which could not be previously recognized. The unrecognized tax charge is reflected as an adjustment to retained earnings.

In March 2016, the FASB issued Accounting Standards Update No. 2016-09, Compensation - Stock Compensation (Topic 718): Improvements to Employee Shared-Based Payment Accounting (''ASU 2016-09''). ASU 2016-09 simplifies how several aspects of share-based payments are accounted for and presented in the financial statements. ASU 2016-09 is effective for public companies for annual reporting periods beginning after December 15, 2016. We adopted this ASU in the first quarter of 2017. Upon adoption, we no longer use a forfeiture rate in the calculation of stock based compensation expense. The impact of this election did not result in a significant charge to retained earnings from applying an estimated forfeiture rate in previous periods. The balance of the unrecognized excess tax benefits was reversed with the impact recorded to retained earnings and included changes to the valuation allowance as a result of the adoption. We have excess tax benefits for which a benefit could not be previously recognized of approximately $4.5 million. Due to the full valuation allowance on the U.S. deferred tax assets, there was no impact to our financial statements beyond disclosure as a result of this adoption.

In February 2016, the FASB issued ASU 2016-02, “Leases (Topic 842).” ASU 2016-02 requires lessees to recognize a lease liability and a right-of-use asset on the balance sheet and aligns many of the underlying principles of the new lessor model with those in Accounting Standards Codification Topic 606, Revenue from Contracts with Customers. ASU 2016-02 is effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2018, including interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted. We are currently evaluating the requirements of ASU 2016-02 and have not yet determined its impact on our condensed consolidated financial statements.

In May 2014, the FASB issued ASU 2014-09, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606)," which is the new comprehensive revenue recognition standard that will supersede all existing revenue recognition guidance under U.S. GAAP. The standard's core principle is that a company will recognize revenue when it transfers promised goods or services to a customer in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the company expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. ASU 2015-14, "Revenue from Contracts with Customers (Topic 606): Deferral of the Effective Date," which was issued in August 2015, revised the effective date for this ASU to annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2017, with early adoption permitted, but not earlier than the original effective date of annual and interim periods beginning on or after December 15, 2016, for public entities.

The new standard permits adoption either by using (i) a full retrospective approach for all periods presented in the period of adoption or (ii) a modified retrospective approach with the cumulative effect of initially applying the new standard recognized at the date of initial application and providing certain additional disclosures. We will adopt the new standard effective January 1, 2018. We plan to adopt using the modified retrospective approach.

Our evaluation of the impact of the new standard on our accounting policies, processes, and system requirements is ongoing. While we continue to assess all potential impacts under the new standard, we do not believe there will be significant changes to the timing of recognition of hardware sales, software license sales or service contracts.

As part of our preliminary evaluation, we also considered the impact of the guidance in ASC 340-40, Other Assets and Deferred Costs; Contracts with Customers. This guidance requires the capitalization of all incremental costs that we incur to obtain a contract with a customer that we would not have incurred if the contract had not been obtained, provided we expect to recover the costs. We preliminarily believe that there will not be significant changes to the timing of the recognition of sales commissions since our commission plan is earned based on the recognition of revenue; however, there is a potential that the amortization period for commission costs may be longer than the contract term in some cases, as the new cost guidance requires entities to determine whether the costs relate to specific anticipated contracts as well.

While we continue to assess the potential impacts of the new standard, including the areas described above, the Company cannot reasonably estimate quantitative information related to the impact of the new standard it its financial statements at this time.

Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates

We reaffirm our critical accounting policies and use of estimates as reported in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016. There have been no significant changes during the three months ended September 30, 2017 to the items that we disclosed as our critical accounting policies and estimates in Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016.

These forward-looking statements are made pursuant to safe-harbor provisions of the Private Securities Litigation Reform Act of 1995. These forward-looking statements involve known and unknown risks, uncertainties and other factors that may cause our actual results or our industries’ actual results, levels of activity, performance or achievements to be materially different from any future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements expressed or implied by these forward-looking statements.

These factors include, among others, the Company's ability to raise additional capital, increased tier-one commercial deployments across multiple product lines, the continued implementation of the Company’s next-generation datacenter product, customer implementation of traffic management solutions, the outcome of product trials, the market success of customers' products and solutions, the development and transition of new products and solutions, the enhancement of existing products and solutions to meet customer needs and respond to emerging technological trends, the Company's ability to raise additional growth capital, the Company's dependence on certain customers and high degree of customer concentration, the Company's use

We do not guarantee future results, levels of activity, performance or achievements, and we do not assume responsibility for the accuracy and completeness of these statements. The forward-looking statements contained in this report are made and based on information as of the date of this report. We assume no obligation to update any of these statements based on information after the date of this report.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk

We are exposed to market risk from changes in interest rates, foreign currency exchange rates, and equity trading prices, which could affect our financial position and results of operations.

Foreign Currency Risk. We pay the expenses of our international operations in local currencies, namely, the Canadian Dollar, Euro, Chinese Yuan, Indian Rupee, and British Pound Sterling. Our international operations are subject to risks typical of an international business, including, but not limited to: differing economic conditions, changes in political climate, differing tax structures, foreign exchange rate volatility and other regulations and restrictions. Accordingly, future results could be materially and adversely affected by changes in these or other factors. We are also exposed to foreign exchange rate fluctuations as the balance sheets and income statements of our foreign subsidiaries are translated into U.S. Dollars during the consolidation process. Because exchange rates vary, these results, when translated, may vary from expectations and adversely affect overall expected profitability.

Based on our policy, we have established a foreign currency exposure management program which uses derivative foreign exchange contracts to address nonfunctional currency exposures. In order to reduce the potentially adverse effects of foreign currency exchange rate fluctuations, we have entered into forward exchange contracts. These hedging transactions limit our exposure to changes in the U.S. Dollar to the Indian Rupee exchange rate, and as of September 30, 2017 the total notional or contractual value of the contracts we held was $16.3 million. These contracts will mature over the next 15 months.

Holding other variables constant, a 10% adverse fluctuation, in relation to our hedge positions, of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Indian Rupee would require an adjustment of $1.6 million, decreasing our Indian Rupee hedge asset as of September 30, 2017, to a liability of $1.3 million. A 10% favorable fluctuation, in relation to our hedge positions, of the U.S. Dollar relative to the Indian Rupee would result in an adjustment of $1.6 million, increasing our hedge asset as of September 30, 2017 to $1.9 million. We do not expect a 10% fluctuation to have any material impact on our operating results as the underlying hedged transactions will move in an equal and opposite direction. If there is an unfavorable movement in the Indian Rupee relative to our hedged positions this would be offset by reduced expenses, after conversion to the U.S. Dollar, associated with obligations paid for in the Indian Rupee.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Based on their evaluation as of the end of the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, the Company’s Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that the Company’s “disclosure controls and procedures” (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) are effective.

During our most recent fiscal quarter ended September 30, 2017, no change occurred in the Company's "internal control over financial reporting" (as defined in Rules 13a-15(f) and 15d-15(f) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934) that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, the Company's internal control over financial reporting.

PART II. OTHER INFORMATION

Item 1A. Risk Factors

There are many factors that affect our business and the results of our operations, many of which are beyond our control. In addition to the other information set forth in this report, you should carefully consider the factors discussed in Part I, Item 1A. Risk Factors and Part II, Item 7. Management's Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016, which could materially affect our business, financial condition or future results. The risks described in this report and our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016 are not the only risks facing our Company. Additional risks and uncertainties not currently known to us or that we currently deem to be immaterial also may materially adversely affect our business, financial condition and/or operating results.

The following risk factor supplements those contained in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended December 31, 2016:

If we fail to comply with certain covenants in our revolving credit facility, our capital resources may be adversely affected.

Our ability to timely service our indebtedness, meet contractual payment obligations and to fund our operations will depend on our ability to generate sufficient cash, either through cash flows from operations, borrowing availability under our revolving credit facility or other financing. Our recent financial results have been, and our future financial results are expected to be, subject to substantial fluctuations impacted by business conditions and macroeconomic factors. Our access to and the cost of capital resources could be negatively impacted if we do not meet existing financial covenants under our revolving credit facility absent an amendment or waiver. In addition, events could occur which could increase our need for cash above current levels or adversely affect our ability to generate cash flow from operations. There can be no assurances that we will be able to generate sufficient cash flow from operations to meet our liquidity needs, that we will have the necessary availability under the revolving credit facility that, if we cannot comply with our financial covenants, our lenders will not agree to an amendment or waiver of such covenants, or that we will be able to obtain other financing when liquidity needs arise. If our current revolving credit agreement were to become unavailable, we would need to obtain additional sources of funding, which may only be available under less favorable terms, if at all, which could have a material adverse effect on our business and our consolidated financial position, results of operations, and cash flows.
