NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(Unaudited)

Note 1. The Company and Basis of Presentation

The Company

Aviat Networks, Inc. (the "Company” or “we”) designs, manufactures and sells a range of wireless networking solutions and services to mobile and fixed telephone service providers, private network operators, government agencies, transportation and utility companies, public safety agencies and broadcast system operators across the globe. Our products include broadband wireless access base stations and customer premises equipment for fixed and mobile, point-to-point digital microwave radio systems for access, backhaul, trunking and license-exempt applications, supporting new network deployments, network expansion, and capacity upgrades.

Basis of Presentation

The accompanying unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements have been prepared by us in accordance with U.S. generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”) and with the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) for interim financial information. Accordingly, the statements do not include all information and footnotes required by U.S. GAAP for annual consolidated financial statements. In the opinion of management, such interim financial statements reflect all adjustments (consisting of normal recurring adjustments) considered necessary for a fair presentation of financial position, results of operations and cash flows for such periods. The results for the quarter and two quarters ended December 28, 2012 (the “second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013”) are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year or future operating periods. The information included in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q should be read in conjunction with “Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” and the consolidated financial statements and footnotes thereto included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended June 29, 2012.

We operate on a 52-week or 53-week year ending on the Friday nearest June 30. The first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012 included 13 weeks in each quarter.

Reclassifications

Certain amounts in the fiscal 2012 financial statements have been reclassified to conform to the fiscal 2013 presentation. Specifically, the amortization of purchased technology is included in cost of product sales in the condensed consolidated statements of operations as the amounts were not material for all periods presented.

Use of estimates

The preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with U.S. GAAP requires us to make estimates, assumptions and judgments affecting the amounts reported and related disclosures. Estimates are based upon historical factors, current circumstances and the experience and judgment of our management. We evaluate our estimates and assumptions on an ongoing basis and may employ outside experts to assist us in making these evaluations. Changes in such estimates, based on more accurate information, or different assumptions or conditions, may affect amounts reported in future periods. Such estimates affect significant items, including revenue recognition, provision for doubtful accounts, inventory valuation, valuation allowances for deferred tax assets, uncertainties in income taxes, restructuring obligations, product warranty obligations, share-based awards, contingencies and useful lives of property, plant and equipment.

Note 2. Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)

The changes in components of our accumulated other comprehensive income (loss) during the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 are as follows:



	Foreign Currency Translation Adjustment (“CTA”)			Hedging Derivatives			Total Accumulated Other Comprehensive Income (Loss)
	(In millions)
Balance as of June 29, 2012	$	(4.0	)	$	—		$	(4.0	)
Foreign currency translation gain	0.9			—			0.9
Net unrealized gain (loss) on hedging activities	—			(0.1		)	(0.1		)
Balance as of December 28, 2012	$	(3.1	)	$	(0.1	)	$	(3.2	)

Note 3. Net Income (Loss) per Share of Common Stock

We compute net income (loss) per share of common stock using the two-class method. Basic net income (loss) per share is computed using the weighted average number of common shares and participating securities outstanding. Our unvested restricted shares (including restricted stock awards and performance share awards) contain rights to receive non-forfeitable dividends and therefore are considered to be participating securities and would be included in the calculations of net income per basic and diluted common share. However, we incurred a net loss in all periods presented and the undistributed losses were not allocated to unvested restricted shares. Therefore the unvested restricted shares were anti-dilutive and excluded from our diluted net loss calculations for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012.

The following potential weighted average shares of common stock outstanding have been excluded from the diluted net loss per share calculations, as their effect would have been anti-dilutive:



	Quarter Ended		Two Quarters Ended
	December 28, 2012	December 30, 2011	December 28, 2012	December 30, 2011
	(In millions)
Options	5.6	4.9	5.7	4.4
Restricted stock	1.2	2.2	1.6	1.9
Total potential shares of common stock excluded	6.8	7.1	7.3	6.3

Note 4. Balance Sheet Components

Receivables

We regularly require letters of credit from some customers who request extended payment terms of up to one year or more, which we discount from time to time with various financial institutions in order to meet immediate liquidity requirements and to reduce our credit and sovereign risk. Under these arrangements, collection risk is fully transferred to the financial institutions. We record the cost of discounting these letters of credit as interest expense. Total customer letters of credit being discounted and related interest expense were as follows:



	Quarter Ended				Two Quarters Ended
	December 28, 2012		December 30, 2011		December 28, 2012		December 30, 2011

	66.0			63.6

Accrued Warranties

We have accrued for the estimated cost to repair or replace products under warranty at the time of sale. Changes in our warranty liability, which are included as a component of other accrued expenses on the consolidated balance sheets, during the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012 were as follows:



	Two Quarters Ended
	December 28, 2012			December 30, 2011
	(In millions)
Balance as of the beginning of the fiscal year	$	3.0		$	2.8
Warranty provision for revenue recorded during the period	1.8			1.3
Consumption during the period	(1.5		)	(1.6		)
Balance as of the end of the period	$	3.3		$	2.5

Note 5. Fair Value Measurements of Assets and Liabilities

We determine fair value as the price that would be received to sell an asset or paid to transfer a liability in the principal market (or most advantageous market, in the absence of a principal market) for the asset or liability in an orderly transaction between market participants as of the measurement date. We try to maximize the use of observable inputs and minimize the use of unobservable inputs in measuring fair value and establish a three-level fair value hierarchy that prioritizes the inputs used to measure fair value. The three levels of inputs used to measure fair value are as follows:


•	Level 1 — Observable inputs such as quoted prices in active markets for identical assets or liabilities;

▪

Level 2 — Observable inputs other than quoted prices included in Level 1 that reflect quoted prices for identical assets or liabilities in markets that are not active; quoted prices for similar assets or liabilities in active markets; inputs other than quoted prices that are observable for the assets or liabilities; or inputs that are derived principally from or corroborated by observable market data by correlation or other means; and


•	Level 3 — Unobservable inputs reflecting our own assumptions.

The carrying amounts, estimated fair values and valuation input levels of our assets and liabilities that are measured at fair value on a recurring basis as of December 28, 2012 and June 29, 2012 were as follows:



	December 28, 2012				June 29, 2012
	Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Carrying Amount		Fair Value		Valuation Inputs
	(In millions)
Assets:
Cash equivalents:
Money market funds	$	62.5	$	62.5	$	50.8	$	50.8	Level 1
Bank certificates of deposit	$	0.4	$	0.4	$	0.3	$	0.3	Level 2
Other current assets:
Foreign exchange forward contracts	$	—	$	—	$	0.1	$	0.1	Level 2
Liabilities:
Other accrued expenses:
Foreign exchange forward contracts	$	0.1	$	0.1	$	0.1	$	0.1	Level 2

We classify investments within Level 1 if quoted prices are available in active markets. Our Level 1 investments include shares in money market funds purchased from two major financial institutions. As of December 28, 2012 and June 29, 2012, these money market shares were valued at $1.00 net asset value per share by these financial institutions.

We classify items in Level 2 if the investments are valued using observable inputs to quoted market prices, benchmark yields, reported trades, broker/dealer quotes or alternative pricing sources with reasonable levels of price transparency. Our bank certificates of deposit and foreign exchange forward contracts are classified within Level 2. Foreign currency forward contracts are measured at fair value using observable foreign currency exchange rates.

Our policy is to recognize asset or liability transfers among Level 1, Level 2 and Level 3 as of the actual date of the events or change in circumstances that caused the transfer. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, we had no transfers between levels of the fair value hierarchy of our assets or liabilities measured at fair value.

Note 6. Credit Facility and Debt

During the quarter ended October 1, 2010, we terminated our previous credit facility with two commercial banks and entered into a new $40.0 million credit facility with Silicon Valley Bank ("SVB") for an initial term of one year expiring on September 30, 2011. We repaid the outstanding debt of $5.0 million under the previous credit facility on October 1, 2010 with the proceeds of advance borrowings of $6.0 million under the new facility. On September 23, 2011, the availability of the facility was extended and, on November 2, 2011, the facility was amended to expire on February 28, 2014 and provide for a two-year term loan for up to $8.3 million to fund the redemption of the preference shares issued by our Singapore subsidiary. On January 30, 2012, we borrowed $8.3 million to complete that redemption. The term loan matures on January 31, 2014 and must be repaid in 24 equal monthly principal payments.

Our current SVB credit facility provides for a committed amount of $40.0 million. The facility provides for (1) advance borrowings (with no stated maturity date other than the February 28, 2014 expiration of the facility); (2) fixed term Eurodollar loans for up to six months, (3) a two-year term loan of $8.3 million, and (4) the issuance of standby or commercial letters of credit. As of December 28, 2012, available credit under this facility was $23.8 million reflecting borrowings of $10.8 million and outstanding letters of credit of $5.4 million.

As of December 28, 2012, our outstanding debt under the SVB facility consisted of the $6.0 million advance borrowings in fiscal 2011 and a $4.8 million outstanding balance on the original $8.3 million term loan, of which $4.1 million was classified as a current liability. Since we do not expect to repay within the next 12 months, the $6.0 million advance borrowings were classified as long-term debt as of December 28, 2012 and June 29, 2012.

The advance borrowings carry an interest rate computed at the daily prime rate as published in the Wall Street Journal. Interest on Eurodollar loans is offered at LIBOR plus a spread of between 2.00% to 2.75% based on our current leverage ratio. The interest rate on Eurodollar loans is adjustable quarterly based on the computed actual leverage ratio for the most recently completed fiscal quarter. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2013, the weighted average interest rate on our $6.0 million advance borrowings was 3.25%. The two-year term loan bears a fixed interest rate of 5% per annum and provides for equal monthly payments of principal. The SVB facility, as further amended on September 28, 2012, contains a minimum liquidity ratio covenant and a minimum profitability covenant. As of December 28, 2012, we were in compliance with these financial covenants. The facility also imposes certain restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or make distributions to our stockholders under certain circumstances. Certain of our assets, including accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment, are pledged as collateral for the credit facility. Pursuant to the loan and security agreement, if a material adverse event occurs, all obligations in connection with the agreement would be immediately due and payable.

Note 7. Restructuring Activities

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we initiated a restructuring plan (the “Fiscal 2011 Plan”) to reduce our operational costs. The Fiscal 2011 Plan was intended to bring our cost structure in line with the changing dynamics of the worldwide microwave radio and telecommunication markets, primarily in North America, Europe and Asia. Activities under the Fiscal 2011 Plan included reductions in force to reduce our operating expenses and the downsizing or closure of our Morrisville, North Carolina, Santa Clara, California, Montreal, Canada and certain international field offices.

The following table summarizes our costs incurred during the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, estimated additional costs to be incurred and estimated total costs expected to be incurred as of December 28, 2012 under the Fiscal 2011 Plan:

During the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, we continued executing restructuring activities to reduce our operating costs worldwide under the Fiscal 2011 Plan. The $0.7 million facilities charges in the first two quarters of fiscal 2012 primarily related to the sublease and relocation of our Morrisville, North Carolina office during the period.

We intend to complete the remaining restructuring activities under the Fiscal 2011 Plan during fiscal 2013.

Note 8. Divestiture

In March 2011, our board of directors approved a plan for the sale of our WiMAX business. On September 2, 2011, we sold to EION Networks, Inc. (“EION”) our WiMAX business and related assets consisting of certain technology, inventory and equipment. We assigned customer contracts for WiMAX products and maintenance and agreed to license related patents to EION. We also agreed to indemnification for customary seller representations and warranties, and the provision of transitional services. As consideration for the sale of assets, EION agreed to pay us $0.4 million in cash and up to $2.8 million in additional cash payments contingent upon specific factors related to future WiMAX business performance. Currently we are not able to estimate the amount of consideration that we will receive beyond the $0.4 million nor the probability of any such payment. Accordingly, any future consideration will be recorded as a contingent gain in the period that it is received. As of December 28, 2012, we had received $0.1 million of such contingent payments. EION is entitled to receive cash payments up to $2.0 million upon collection of certain WiMAX accounts receivable, of which $1.5 million had been paid by us to EION as of December 28, 2012.

In the third quarter of fiscal 2011, we began accounting for the WiMAX business as a discontinued operation and, therefore, the operating results of our WiMAX business are included in discontinued operations in our condensed consolidated financial statements for all periods presented. We recognized a $2.0 million loss on disposition of the WiMAX business in the first two quarters of fiscal 2012. The loss incurred in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 were primarily due to write-down of certain WiMAX deferred cost of sales that were not transferred to EION and certain expenses we incurred to support a remaining customer obligation. As of December 28, 2012 and June 29, 2012, our accrued liabilities related to the disposition of the WiMAX business were $0.5 million and $0.6 million, respectively.

Summary results of operations for the WiMAX business were as follows:

Note 9. Stockholders’ Equity

2007 Stock Equity Plan

As of December 28, 2012, we had one stock incentive plan for our employees and nonemployee directors, the 2007 Stock Equity Plan, as amended and restated effective November 17, 2011 (the “2007 Stock Plan”). The 2007 Stock Plan provides for accelerated vesting of certain share-based awards if there is a change in control. The 2007 Stock Plan also provides for the issuance of share-based awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock awards and units, and performance share awards and units. We have various incentive programs under the 2007 Stock Plan, including annual and long-term incentive programs ("AIP" or "LTIP"), a global equity program ("GEP") and product development incentive programs (“PDIP”).

Under the 2007 Stock Plan, option exercise prices are equal to the fair market value on the date the options are granted using our closing stock price. Options may be exercised for a period set at the time of grant, which is generally seven years after the date of grant. Options generally vest in installments on one of three vesting schedules: (1) 50% one year from the grant date and 25% each year thereafter over a three-year period from the date of grant; (2) one-third annually over a three-year period from the date of grant; or (3) one-fourth annually over a four-year period from date of grant. Stock options are issued to directors annually and generally vest in one year from the grant date.

Restricted stock is not transferable until vested and the restrictions lapse upon the achievement of continued employment or service over a specified time period. Restricted stock issued to employees generally vests either one-third annually over a three-year period from the date of grant or in full three years after the grant date. Restricted stock is issued to directors annually and generally vests in full one year from the grant date.

Vesting of performance shares under our AIP, LTIP or GEP is subject to financial performance criteria including revenue, operating income, or cash flow targets for the periods as defined in the programs and continued employment through the end of the applicable period. Performance shares under our PDIPs are issued to employees related to certain new product development projects and vest upon achievement of the product development milestones as defined in the programs.

During the first two quarters of fiscal 2013, we granted options to purchase 1,202,679 shares of our common stock and awarded 1,288,615 shares of performance units to employees under our 2007 Stock Equity Plan. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2013, there were 377,784 performance shares vested upon the achievement of financial performance targets and 208,951 performance shares canceled because the performance target threshold were not met.

Upon the exercise of stock options, vesting of restricted stock awards and units, or vesting of performance share awards and units, we issue new shares of our common stock to our employees. All awards that are cancelled prior to vesting or expire unexercised are returned to the approved pool of reserved shares under the 2007 Stock Plan and made available for future grants. Shares of our common stock remaining available for future issuance under the 2007 Stock Plan totaled 4,274,102 as of December 28, 2012.

Share-Based Compensations

Total compensation expense for share-based awards included in our condensed consolidated statements of operations for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012 was as follows:



	Quarter Ended				Two Quarters Ended
(In millions)	December 28, 2012		December 30, 2011		December 28, 2012		December 30, 2011
By Expense Category:
Cost of product sales and services	$	0.1	$	0.1	$	0.2	$	0.2
Research and development	0.5		0.3		0.8		0.5
Selling and administrative	1.2		0.9		2.3		1.5
Discontinued operations	—		—		—		0.1
Total share-based compensation expense	$	1.8	$	1.3	$	3.3	$	2.3
By Types of Award:
Options	$	0.6	$	0.7	$	1.3	$	1.3
Restricted stock awards and units	0.4		0.4		0.9		0.7
Performance shares	0.8		0.2		1.1		0.3
Total share-based compensation expense	$	1.8	$	1.3	$	3.3	$	2.3

As of December 28, 2012, there was $7.5 million of total unrecognized compensation expense related to nonvested share-based awards granted under our 2007 Stock Equity Plan. This expense is expected to be recognized over a weighted-average period of 1.7 years.

The fair value of each option grant under our 2007 Stock Equity Plan was estimated using the Black-Scholes option pricing model on the date of grant. A summary of the significant weighted average assumptions we used in the Black-Scholes valuation model is as follows:



	Quarter Ended				Two Quarters Ended
	December 28, 2012		December 30, 2011		December 28, 2012		December 30, 2011
Expected dividends	—	%	—	%	—	%	—	%
Expected volatility	65.9	%	65.9	%	65.9	%	65.8	%
Risk-free interest rate	0.47	%	0.77	%	0.47	%	0.71	%
Expected term (years)	4.38		4.38		4.38		4.38
Weighted average grant date fair value per share granted	$1.27		$1.07		$1.27		$1.13

Expected volatility is based on historical volatility of our common stock using the daily closing price of our common stock over a period commensurate with the expected term of the options. The expected term of the options is calculated using the simplified method as we do not have sufficient stock option exercise data to derive a reasonable estimate of the expected life of an option. In addition, the types of employees that receive option grants have been significantly changed as we granted share-based awards in fiscal 2012 to employees who are not eligible for the long-term incentive programs. The risk-free rate for the expected term of the option is based on the U.S. Treasury yield curve in effect at the time of grant. The expected dividend yield is zero because we have not historically paid dividends and have no intention to pay dividends.

The fair value of each restricted stock grant is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant and is amortized to compensation expense over its vesting period. The fair value of each performance share is based on the closing price of our common stock on the date of grant and is amortized to compensation expense over its vesting period if achievement of the performance conditions is considered probable. Any previously recognized compensation cost would be reversed if the performance condition is not satisfied or if it is not probable that the performance conditions will be achieved. If the vesting conditions of a performance award is modified and the original vesting conditions are not expected to be satisfied, the grant date fair value of the original award is ignored and the fair value of the award measured at the modification date is recognized if the modified award ultimately vests.

Note 10. Segment and Geographic Information

We operate in one reportable business segment: the design, manufacturing and sale of a range of wireless networking products, solutions and services. We conduct business globally and our sales and support activities are managed on a geographic basis. Our Chief Executive Officer is the Chief Operating Decision Maker (the “CODM”).

We report revenue by region and country based on the location where our customers accept delivery of our products and services. Revenue by region for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012 is as follows:



	Quarter Ended				Two Quarters Ended
(In millions)	December 28, 2012		December 30, 2011		December 28, 2012		December 30, 2011
North America	$	41.4	$	44.2	$	80.1	$	81.2
Africa and Middle East	63.9		24.0		112.9		66.7
Europe and Russia	9.2		15.8		21.6		28.2
Latin America and Asia Pacific	14.5		21.0		29.4		40.3
Total Revenue	$	129.0	$	105.0	$	244.0	$	216.4

During the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and first two quarters of both fiscal 2013 and 2012, we had one international customer in Africa (Mobile Telephone Networks Group or MTN Group) that accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue. As of December 28, 2012, MTN Group accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable. We had no customers accounted for more than 10% of our accounts receivable at June 29, 2012.

Note 11. Income Taxes

Our effective tax rate varies from the U.S. federal statutory rate of 35% due to results of foreign operations that are subject to income taxes at different statutory rates and certain jurisdictions where we cannot recognize tax benefits on current losses. We accrued tax expenses for foreign jurisdictions that are anticipated to be profitable for fiscal 2013. We have a number of years with open tax audits which vary from jurisdiction to jurisdiction. Our major tax jurisdictions include the U.S., Singapore and Nigeria. The earliest years still open and subject to potential audits for these jurisdictions are as follows: U.S. — 2003; Singapore — 2006; and Nigeria — 2004.

During the current quarter, we received several preliminary assessments from the taxing authority in certain countries challenging certain of the tax benefits. Although we intend to protest these assessments and defend the positions that we have taken with regard to these tax benefits, at this time we are unable to conclude that it is more likely than not that our positions will prevail and accordingly have increased our uncertain tax liability during the current quarter by $9.9 million.

The determination of our provision for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012 was based on our estimated annual effective tax rate adjusted for losses in separate jurisdictions for which no tax benefit can be recognized. In addition, jurisdictions where we are unable to estimate an annual effective tax rate are excluded from the estimated annual effective tax rate. The tax expense for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 was primarily attributable to an increase in unrecognized tax benefit of $9.9 million and $11.4 million, respectively. The increase was in response to recent assessments of past due income tax in certain countries that we are currently analyzing but as to which, at this time, we are unable to state that it is more likely than not that we will be able to utilize these tax benefits.

We account for interest and penalties related to unrecognized tax benefits as part of our provision for federal, foreign, and state income taxes.

Note 12. Derivative Financial Instruments and Hedging Activities

We use derivative instruments to manage our market exposures to foreign currency risk. Our objectives for using derivatives are to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not hold or issue derivatives for trading purposes or make speculative investments in foreign currencies. All derivative instruments are carried on the balance sheet at fair value.

Our major foreign currency hedging activities are described below:

Cash Flow Hedges. We use currency forward contracts to hedge exposures related to certain forecasted foreign currency transactions relating to revenue, product costs, operating expenses and intercompany transactions. As of December 28, 2012, hedged transactions included our customer and intercompany backlog and, to a much lesser extent, outstanding purchase commitments denominated primarily in the Australian dollar, Euro, Polish zloty and Republic of South

Africa rand. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges and typically have maturities from one to three months with a maximum of six months, which in general closely match the underlying forecasted transaction in duration.

We measure the effectiveness of the hedges of forecasted transactions on a monthly basis by comparing the fair values of the designated currency forward contracts with the fair values of the forecasted transactions. The effective portion of the contract’s gain and loss is initially recognized in other comprehensive income or loss (“OCI”) and, upon occurrence of the forecasted transaction, is reclassified into the income or expense line item to which the hedged transaction relates. Any ineffective portion of the derivative hedging gain or loss as well as changes in the fair value of the derivative’s time value (which are excluded from the assessment of hedge effectiveness) is recorded in current period earnings, specifically, in cost of product sales as these gains and losses are considered by us to be operational in nature. If the forecasted transaction does not occur, or it becomes probable that it will not occur, the gain or loss on the related cash flow hedge is recognized immediately in cost of product sales.

As of December 28, 2012, it is expected that $0.1 million of derivative net loss on both outstanding and matured derivatives recorded in AOCI will be reclassified to net income or loss during the next twelve months as a result of underlying hedged transactions also being recorded in net income or loss. Actual amounts ultimately to be reclassified to net income or loss on outstanding derivatives depend on the exchange rates in effect when they mature.

Balance Sheet Hedges. We also use foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the gains and losses generated from the re-measurement of certain monetary assets and liabilities denominated in a foreign currency, including primarily cash balances, third party accounts receivable and accounts payable, and intercompany transactions recorded on the balance sheet. These derivatives are not designated and do not qualify as hedge instruments and accordingly are carried at fair value with changes recorded in the cost of product sales in current period. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are largely offset by re-measurement of the underlying assets and liabilities. These derivatives have maturities of approximately one month.

The following table presents the gross notional value of all our foreign exchange forward contracts outstanding as of December 28, 2012 and June 29, 2012:

Credit Risk

We are exposed to credit-related losses in the event of non-performance by counterparties to hedging instruments. The counterparties to all derivative transactions are major financial institutions with investment grade credit ratings. However, this does not eliminate our exposure to credit risk with these institutions. Should any of these counterparties fail to perform as contracted, we could incur interest charges and unanticipated gains or losses on the settlement of the derivatives in addition to the recorded fair value of the derivative due to non-delivery of the currency. To manage this risk, we have established strict counterparty credit guidelines for financial institutions providing foreign currency exchange services in accordance with corporate policy. As a result of the above considerations, we consider the risk of counterparty default to be immaterial.

The credit facilities we have with financial institutions under which we transact foreign exchange transactions are generally restricted to a total notional amount outstanding, a maximum settlement amount in any one day and a maximum term. There are no formal written agreements supporting these facilities other than the financial institutions’ general terms and conditions for trading. None of the facilities are collateralized and none require compliance with financial covenants or contain cross default or other provisions which could affect other credit arrangements we have with the same or other banks. If we fail to deliver currencies as required upon settlement of a trade, the bank may require early settlement on a net basis of all derivatives outstanding and if any amounts are still owing to the bank, they may charge any cash account we have with the bank for that amount.

Note 13. Commitments and Contingencies

Operating Lease Commitments

We lease office and manufacturing facilities under non-cancelable operating leases expiring at various dates through April 2020. We lease approximately 129,000 square feet of office space in Santa Clara, California as our corporate headquarters. As of December 28, 2012, future minimum lease payments for our headquarters total $18.7 million through April 2020.

As of December 28, 2012, our future minimum lease payments under all non-cancelable operating leases with an initial lease term in excess of one year are as follows:



Fiscal Years Ending in June	Amounts
	(In millions)
2013 (2 Quarters remaining)	$	3.0
2014	5.0
2015	3.4
2016	3.2
2017	3.1
Thereafter	8.1
Total	$	25.8

These commitments do not contain any material rent escalations, rent holidays, contingent rent, rent concessions, leasehold improvement incentives or unusual provisions or conditions. Total minimum rentals to be received in the future under our noncancelable subleases was $1.0 million as of December 28, 2012.

Rental expense for operating leases, including rentals on a month-to-month basis was $2.2 million and $2.3 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively, and $4.3 million and $4.7 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, respectively.

Purchase Orders and Other Commitments

From time to time in the normal course of business we may enter into purchasing agreements with our suppliers that require us to accept delivery of, and remit full payment for, finished products that we have ordered, finished products that we requested be held as safety stock, and work in process started on our behalf, in the event we cancel or terminate the purchasing agreement. Because these agreements do not specify fixed or minimum quantities, do not specify minimum or variable price provisions, and do not specify the approximate timing of the transaction, and we have no present intention to cancel or terminate any of these agreements, we are unable to estimate any future liability under these agreements. As of December 28, 2012, we had purchase obligations with our suppliers or contract manufacturers of $56.5 million outstanding. In addition, we had contractual obligations of approximately $5.1 million associated with major capital purchase and service agreements as of December 28, 2012.

Financial Guarantees and Commercial Commitments

Guarantees issued by banks, insurance companies or other financial institutions are contingent commitments issued to guarantee our performance under borrowing arrangements, such as bank overdraft facilities, tax and customs obligations and similar transactions or to ensure our performance under customer or vendor contracts. The terms of the guarantees are generally equal to the remaining term of the related debt or other obligations and are generally limited to two years or less. As of December 28, 2012, we had no guarantees applicable to our debt arrangements.

We have entered into commercial commitments in the normal course of business including surety bonds, standby letters of credit agreements and other arrangements with financial institutions primarily relating to the guarantee of future performance on certain contracts to provide products and services to customers. As of December 28, 2012, we had commercial commitments of $52.8 million outstanding that were not recorded on our consolidated balance sheets. We do not believe, based on historical experience and information currently available, that it is probable that any amounts will be required to be paid on the performance guarantees.

Indemnifications

Under the terms of substantially all of our license agreements, we have agreed to defend and pay any final judgment against our customers arising from claims against such customers that our software products infringe the intellectual property

rights of a third party. To date we have not received any notice that any customer is subject to an infringement claim arising from the use of our software products; we have not received any request to defend any customers from infringement claims arising from the use of our software products; and we have not paid any final judgment on behalf of any customer related to an infringement claim arising from the use of our software products. Because the outcome of infringement disputes is related to the specific facts of each case, and given the lack of previous or current indemnification claims, we cannot estimate the maximum amount of potential future payments, if any, related to our indemnification provisions. As of December 28, 2012, we had not recorded any liabilities related to these indemnifications.

Legal Proceedings

Certain of our former executive officers and directors were named in a complaint filed on July 18, 2011 in the United States District Court for the District of Delaware by plaintiff Howard Taylor. Plaintiff purported to bring this action derivatively on behalf of Aviat Networks, which was named as a nominal defendant. Plaintiff brought a claim for breach of fiduciary duty against the officer and director defendants based on the allegations of securities law violations alleged in the class action described above and also alleges that the defendants caused us to acquire the Microwave Communications Division, Harris Corporation at an inflated price. Plaintiff sought to recover unspecified damages and other relief on behalf of Aviat Networks, as well as payment of costs and attorneys' fees. On September 27, 2012, the Court granted defendants' motion to dismiss and granted plaintiff leave to amend by October 18, 2012 only as to the allegations related to the class action. On October 18, 2012, plaintiff did not amend but filed a motion for a stay of the action and sent a demand to the Company's Board that it investigate and pursue the claims that were dismissed by the Court. On December 14, 2012, the Court denied plaintiff's motion to stay and, as a result, all claims have been dismissed with prejudice. The Board has informed counsel for Taylor that it has commenced an investigation in response to Taylor's letter and has invited them to share any documents or other information supporting their demand so that the Board may consider such information. The Board will advise Taylor's counsel when its work in response to the demand is concluded.

From time to time, we may be involved in various legal claims and litigation that arise in the normal course of our operations. While the results of such claims and litigation cannot be predicted with certainty, we currently believe that we are not a party to any litigation the final outcome of which is likely to have a material adverse effect on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows. However, should we not prevail in any such litigation; it could have a material adverse impact on our operating results, cash flows or financial position.

Contingent Liabilities

We record a loss contingency as a charge to operations when (i) it is probable that an asset has been impaired or a liability has been incurred at the date of the financial statements; and (ii) the amount of the loss can be reasonably estimated. Disclosure in the notes to the financial statements is required for loss contingencies that do not meet both those conditions if there is a reasonable possibility that a loss may have been incurred. Gain contingencies are not recorded until realized. We expense all legal costs incurred to resolve regulatory, legal and tax matters as incurred.

Periodically, we review the status of each significant matter to assess the potential financial exposure. If a potential loss is considered probable and the amount can be reasonably estimated, we reflect the estimated loss in our results of operations. Significant judgment is required to determine the probability that a liability has been incurred or an asset impaired and whether such loss is reasonably estimable. Further, estimates of this nature are highly subjective, and the final outcome of these matters could vary significantly from the amounts that have been included in our consolidated financial statements. As additional information becomes available, we reassess the potential liability related to our pending claims and litigation and may revise estimates accordingly. Such revisions in the estimates of the potential liabilities could have a material impact on our results of operations and financial position.

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

This Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, including “Item 2. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations,” contains forward-looking statements that involve risks and uncertainties, as well as assumptions that, if they do not materialize or prove correct, could cause our results to differ materially from those expressed or implied by such forward-looking statements. All statements other than statements of historical fact are statements that could be deemed forward-looking statements, including statements of, about, concerning or regarding: our plans, strategies and objectives for future operations; our research and development efforts and new product releases and services; trends in revenue; drivers of our business and the markets in which we operate; future economic conditions, performance or outlook and changes in our industry and the markets we serve; the outcome of contingencies; the value of our contract awards; beliefs

or expectations; the sufficiency of our cash and our capital needs and expenditures; our intellectual property protection; our compliance with regulatory requirements and the associated expenses; expectations regarding litigation; our intention not to pay cash dividends; seasonality of our business; the impact of foreign exchange and inflation; taxes; and assumptions underlying any of the foregoing. Forward-looking statements may be identified by the use of forward-looking terminology, such as “anticipates,” “believes,” “expects,” “may,” “should,” “would,” “will,” “intends,” “plans,” “estimates,” “strategy,” “projects,” “targets,” “goals,” “seeing,” “delivering,” “continues,” “forecasts,” “future,” “predict,” “might,” “could,” “potential,” or the negative of these terms, and similar words or expressions.

These forward-looking statements are based on estimates reflecting the current beliefs of the senior management of Aviat Networks. These forward-looking statements involve a number of risks and uncertainties that could cause actual results to differ materially from those suggested by the forward-looking statements. Forward-looking statements should therefore be considered in light of various important factors, including those set forth in this document. Important factors that could cause actual results to differ materially from estimates or projections contained in the forward-looking statements include the following:


•	continued price erosion as a result of increased competition in the microwave transmission industry;


•	the impact of the volume, timing and customer, product and geographic mix of our product orders;


•	our ability to meet projected new product development dates or anticipated cost reductions of new products;

Overview of Business; Operating Environment and Key Factors Impacting Fiscal 2012 and 2013 Results

The following Management’s Discussion and Analysis (“MD&A”) is intended to help the reader understand our results of operations and financial condition. MD&A is provided as a supplement to, and should be read in conjunction with, our consolidated financial statements and the accompanying notes. In the discussion below, our fiscal year ending June 28, 2013 is referred to as “fiscal 2013” or “2013” and fiscal year ended June 29, 2012 as “fiscal 2012” or “2012”.

We generate revenue by designing, developing, manufacturing and supporting a range of wireless networking products, solutions and services for mobile and fixed communications service providers, private network operators, government agencies, transportation and utility companies, public safety agencies and broadcast system operators across the globe. Our products include point-to-point (PTP) digital microwave transmission systems designed for first/last mile access, middle

mile/backhaul, and long distance trunking applications. We also provide network management software solutions to enable operators to deploy, monitor and manage our systems, third party equipment such as antennas, routers, and multiplexers, necessary to build and deploy a wireless transmission network, and a full suite of turnkey support services.

We work continuously to improve our established brands and to create new products that meet our customers’ evolving needs and preferences. Our fundamental business goal is to generate superior returns for our stockholders over the long term. We believe that increases in revenue, operating profits and earnings per share are the key measures of financial performance for our business.

Our strategic focus in the second half of fiscal 2013 will be to continue to accelerate innovation and optimize our product portfolio, improve costs and operational efficiencies, grow our revenue and create a sustainable, profitable business model. To do this, we have examined our products, markets, facilities, development programs, and operational flows to ensure we are focused on what we do well and what will differentiate us in the future. We will continue working to streamline management processes to attain the efficiency levels required by the markets in which we do business.

While the general trend of increasing demand for bandwidth to support mobile networks applies in all markets, we expect to see quarter-to-quarter fluctuations within markets and with individual customers based on customers' past purchasing patterns. As well, seasonality is a factor that impacts our business. Our fiscal third quarter revenue and orders have historically been lower than the revenue and orders in the immediately preceding second quarter because many of our customers utilize a significant portion of their capital budgets at the end of their fiscal year, which is typically the calendar year and coincides with our second fiscal quarter. The majority of our customers begin a new fiscal year on January 1, and capital expenditures tend to be lower in an organization’s first quarter than in its fourth quarter. We anticipate that this seasonality will continue. The seasonality between the second quarter and third quarter may be affected by a variety of additional factors, including changes in the global economy and other factors. Please refer to the section entitled “Risk Factors” in Item 1A in our fiscal 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K.

Operations Review

During the first two quarters of fiscal 2013, we secured orders and continued to expand our footprint with our customers in the mobile operator market using our current technology and service capabilities. The market for mobile backhaul continues to be our primary addressable market segment and the demand for increasing the backhaul capacity in our customers' networks continues to grow in line with our expectations. In the quarter we saw increased demand in North America as we supported the LTE deployments of our key customers. Internationally our business continued to rely on a combination of customers increasing their capacity to handle subscriber growth, the ongoing build-out of some large 3G deployments, and the emergence of early stage LTE deployments. Our position continues to be to support our customers for LTE readiness and ensure that our technology roadmap is well aligned with evolving market requirements. We continue to find that our strength in turnkey and after-sale support services is a differentiating factor that wins business for us and enables us to expand our business with existing customers in all markets. However, as disclosed above and in the “Risk Factors” section of our 2012 Annual Report on Form 10-K, a number of factors could prevent us from achieving our objectives, including ongoing pricing pressures attributable to competition and macroeconomic conditions in the geographic markets that we service.

During the first two quarters of fiscal 2013, we incurred restructuring expenses under the Fiscal 2011 Plan that will allow us to reduce our operational costs. We intend to complete remaining restructuring activities under the Fiscal 2011 Plan during fiscal 2013.

In the fourth quarter of fiscal 2012, we re-evaluated our reportable segments primarily due to changes in our management, product platform and business processes, and determined that we operate in one single reportable industry segment. Accordingly, financial information for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2012 has been recast to conform with the current reportable segment disclosure.

Revenue

We manage our sales activities primarily on a geographic basis in North America and three international geographic regions: Africa and Middle East, Europe and Russia, and Latin America and Asia Pacific. Revenue by region for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012 and the related changes are shown in the table below:



	Quarter Ended									Two Quarters Ended
(In millions, except percentages)	December 28, 2012		December 30, 2011		$ Change			% Change		December 28, 2012		December 30, 2011		$ Change			% Change
North America	$	41.4	$	44.2	$	(2.8	)	(6.3	)%	$	80.1	$	81.2	$	(1.1	)	(1.4	)%
Africa and Middle East	63.9		24.0		39.9			166.3	%	112.9		66.7		46.2			69.3	%
Europe and Russia	9.2		15.8		(6.6		)	(41.8	)%	21.6		28.2		(6.6		)	(23.4	)%
Latin America and Asia Pacific	14.5		21.0		(6.5		)	(31.0	)%	29.4		40.3		(10.9		)	(27.0	)%
Total Revenue	$	129.0	$	105.0	$	24.0		22.9	%	$	244.0	$	216.4	$	27.6		12.8	%

Our revenue in North America decreased $2.8 million, or 6.3%, and $1.1 million, or 1.4%, respectively, during the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared with the same periods of fiscal 2012. In the fiscal 2013 periods, we saw improved sales with North American mobile operators which were attributable to their ongoing buildout of LTE capable networks in the region. At the same time, North America sales to power utilities and state and local government private networks were down in the second quarter and in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared with the same periods in fiscal 2012. The reduction was due to the timing of completion of distinct projects which tend to vary from quarter to quarter and year to year. We do not believe the decline indicates a trend in the private network business. We completed our first sales of low latency projects to a private network operator in the first half of fiscal 2013.

Our revenue in Africa and Middle East increased substantially over the same periods in fiscal 2012, up $39.9 million, or 166.3% for the second quarter and $46.2 million, or 69.3%, for the first two quarters in fiscal 2013. Throughout the first half of fiscal 2013, demand from mobile operator customers in Africa has been strong due to their increased investment in network transmission capacity in order to accommodate their growth in network data traffic and increase their service competitiveness. The second fiscal quarter each year tends to be seasonally high in our business. That seasonality is driven in part by mobile operators utilizing a significant portion of their capital budgets at the end of their fiscal year, which is the calendar year and coincides with our second fiscal quarter.

Revenue from mobile operators in Europe and Russia declined $6.6 million for both the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared to the same periods in fiscal 2012. We believe this decrease was related to economic difficulty experienced generally throughout Europe.

Revenue in Latin America and Asia Pacific declined $6.5 million, or 31.0%, and $10.9 million, or 27.0%, respectively, during the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared with the same periods of fiscal 2012. The decrease was primarily due to a decline in customer purchases in Asia as some of our bigger customers continue to deploy large orders that we delivered in the past year as they begin to roll out LTE service.

Our revenue from product sales was up by $20.1 million, or 27.1%, and $14.8 million, or 9.1%, respectively, during the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared with the same periods of fiscal 2012. The increase came primarily from strong sales in Africa, offset in part by reductions in North America, Europe and Asia. Our services revenue was up by $3.9 million, or 12.6%, and $12.8 million, or 24.1%, respectively, during the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared with the same periods of fiscal 2012. The increase in the fiscal 2013 periods came from additional services delivered in North America and Africa, offset in part by a decrease in Asia Pacific.

During the second quarter of fiscal 2013 and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012, the MTN Group in Africa accounted for more than 10% of our total revenue. We have entered into separate and distinct contracts with MTN Group as well as separate arrangements with MTN Group subsidiaries. The loss of all MTN Group business could adversely affect our results of operations, cash flows and financial position.

Gross Margin

(In millions, except percentages)	December 28, 2012			December 30, 2011			$ Change		% Change		December 28, 2012			December 30, 2011			$ Change		% Change
Revenue	$	129.0		$	105.0		$	24.0	22.9	%	$	244.0		$	216.4		$	27.6	12.8	%
Cost of revenue	90.3			73.1			17.2		23.5	%	171.6			151.8			19.8		13.0	%

% of revenue	30.0		%	30.4		%					29.7		%	29.9		%

Gross margin for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 increased $6.8 million, or 21.3%, and $7.8 million, or 12.1%, respectively, compared with the same periods of fiscal 2012. The increase in gross margin was due largely to higher sales volume and product mix for both the second quarter and the first half of fiscal 2013 compared with the same periods in fiscal 2012. Gross margin as a percentage of revenue remained approximately the same for the fiscal 2013 periods compared with the same periods of fiscal 2012. We anticipate improvements in gross margin rates over time as our new product sales represent a larger share of our revenues.

Research and Development Expenses



	Quarter Ended										Two Quarters Ended
(In millions, except percentages)	December 28, 2012			December 30, 2011			$ Change		% Change		December 28, 2012			December 30, 2011			$ Change		% Change
Research and development expenses	$	9.8		$	8.8		$	1.0	11.4	%	$	19.1		$	17.8		$	1.3	7.3	%
% of revenue	7.6		%	8.4		%					7.8		%	8.2		%

Our research and development (“R&D”) expenses increased $1.0 million, or 11.4%, and $1.3 million, or 7.3%, respectively, in the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared with the same periods in fiscal 2012. The increase in R&D expenses was primarily due to increases in personnel expenses and share-based compensation, reflecting our investment in our new product development projects. We continue to invest in new product features, new functionality and lower cost platforms that we believe will enable our product lines to retain their technology leads in a cost effective manner.

Selling and Administrative Expenses



	Quarter Ended											Two Quarters Ended
(In millions, except percentages)	December 28, 2012			December 30, 2011			$ Change			% Change		December 28, 2012			December 30, 2011			$ Change			% Change
Selling and administrative expenses	$	23.7		$	25.3		$	(1.6	)	(6.3	)%	$	46.4		$	49.9		$	(3.5	)	(7.0	)%
% of revenue	18.4		%	24.1		%						19.0		%	23.1		%

Our selling and administrative expenses declined $1.6 million, or 6.3%, and $3.5 million or 7.0%, respectively, in the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared with the same periods of fiscal 2012, primarily as a result of the restructuring programs we implemented over the past years. The decrease for the second quarter of fiscal 2013 was due primarily to a $0.9 million reduction in personnel expenses, a $0.4 million reduction in professional services, a $0.4 million reduction in agent commissions driven by lower fee-based revenues, and a $0.4 million decrease in bad debt expense, partially offset by a $0.4 million increase in sales related expenses and a $0.3 million increase in share-based compensation expenses. The decrease for the first half of fiscal 2013 was due primarily to a $2.0 million reduction in professional services, a $1.9 million reduction in personnel expenses, a $1.3 million reduction in telecommunication and facility expenses, partially offset by a $0.6 million increase in sales related expenses and a $0.8 million increase in share-based compensation expenses.

Restructuring Charges

During the first quarter of fiscal 2011, we initiated the Fiscal 2011 Plan to reduce our operational costs. The Fiscal 2011 Plan was intended to bring our cost structure in line with the changing business environment of the worldwide microwave radio and telecommunication markets, primarily in North America, Europe and Asia. Activities under the Fiscal 2011 Plan included the reductions in force to reduce our operating expenses and downsizing or closures of our Morrisville, North Carolina, Santa Clara, California, Montreal, Canada and certain international field offices.

Our restructuring charges for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012 are summarized in the table below:



	Quarter Ended								Two Quarters Ended
(In millions, except percentages)	December 28, 2012		December 30, 2011		$ Change		% Change		December 28, 2012		December 30, 2011		$ Change			% Change
Restructuring	$	0.2	$	0.1	$	0.1	100.0	%	$	0.5	$	1.0	$	(0.5	)	(50.0	)%

Restructuring charges increased $0.1 million in the second quarter of fiscal 2013 compared with the same quarter of fiscal 2012 due to severance and related benefit charges. Restructuring charges declined $0.5 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared with the same period of fiscal 2012 primarily due to the absence of a $0.7 million facilities charge in the first half of fiscal 2012 primarily related to the sublease and relocation of our Morrisville, North Carolina office during the period.

Our restructuring expenses consisted primarily of severance and related benefit charges, and to a lesser extent, facilities costs related to obligations under non-cancelable leases for facilities that we ceased to use. We intend to complete remaining restructuring activities under the Fiscal 2011 Plan in fiscal 2013.

Other Expense, Interest Income and Interest Expense



	Quarter Ended						Two Quarters Ended
(In millions)	December 28, 2012			December 30, 2011			December 28, 2012			December 30, 2011

Interest expense	(0.2		)	(0.4		)	(0.5		)	(0.8		)

Other expense for the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and fiscal 2012 consisted primarily of transactional tax assessments related to certain international entities.

Interest expense was primarily related to interest associated with borrowings, term loan and letters of credit under our credit facilities and, in the first half of fiscal 2012, also included preference dividends on our $8.25 million redeemable preference shares. The $8.25 million preference shares were redeemed at their carrying value on January 30, 2012, funded by a two-year term loan of $8.25 million under our credit facility at a fixed interest rate of 5% per annum.

Income Taxes



	Quarter Ended								Two Quarters Ended
(In millions, except percentages)	December 28, 2012			December 30, 2011			$ Change		December 28, 2012			December 30, 2011			$ Change

% of income (loss) from continuing operations before income taxes	202.0		%	(8.7		)%			203.6		%	(15.1		)%

We estimate our annual effective rate at the end of each quarterly period, and we record the tax effect of certain discrete items, which are unusual or occur infrequently, in the interim period in which they occur, including changes in judgment about deferred tax valuation allowances. In jurisdictions with a year-to-date loss where no tax benefit can be recognized and jurisdictions where we are unable to estimate an annual effective tax rate are excluded from the annual effective tax rate. That determination also reflected tax expense and benefit generated in certain foreign jurisdictions. The tax expense for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 was primarily attributable to an increase in our reserve for uncertain tax positions of $9.9 million and $11.4 million, respectively, as the result of additional information obtained during recent tax examinations in certain countries. The tax expense for the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2012 was primarily

attributable to profitable foreign entities for which we have accrued income taxes. We accrued tax expenses for foreign jurisdictions that are anticipated to be profitable for fiscal 2013.

Loss from Discontinued Operations

(In millions)	December 28, 2012			December 30, 2011			$ Change		December 28, 2012			December 30, 2011			$ Change
Loss from discontinued operations, net of tax	$	(0.3	)	$	(2.8	)	$	2.5	$	(1.7	)	$	(5.9	)	$	4.2

Our discontinued operations consist of the WiMAX business, which was sold to EION on September 2, 2011. We completed the business transition with EION in fiscal 2012. The loss from discontinued operations decreased $2.5 million and $4.2 million, respectively, in the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 compared with the same same periods in fiscal 2012. The loss incurred in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 was primarily due to write-down of certain WiMAX deferred cost of sales that were not transferred to EION and certain expenses we incurred to support a remaining customer obligation. The loss in the first two quarters of fiscal 2012 included operating expenses we incurred to transition the business and a $2.0 million loss on disposition of the WiMAX business.

Liquidity, Capital Resources and Financial Strategies

Sources of Cash

As of December 28, 2012, our total cash and cash equivalents were $94.8 million. Approximately $31.9 million, or 33.6% of our total cash and cash equivalents, was held by entities domiciled in the United States. The remaining balance of $62.9 million or 66.4% was held by entities outside the United States. Of the amount of cash and cash equivalents held by our foreign subsidiaries at December 28, 2012, $49.3 million was held in jurisdictions where our undistributed earnings are indefinitely reinvested, and would be subject to U.S. taxes if repatriated..

As of December 28, 2012, our principal sources of liquidity consisted of the $94.8 million in cash and cash equivalents, $23.8 million of available credit under our current $40.0 million credit facility with SVB, and future collections of receivables from customers. We regularly require letters of credit from some customers that request extended payment terms up to one year or more. From time to time, these letters of credit are discounted without recourse shortly after shipment occurs in order to meet immediate liquidity requirements and to reduce our credit and sovereign risk. Historically our primary sources of liquidity have been cash flows from operations, credit facilities and cash proceeds from sale of our equity securities. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2013, our total cash and cash equivalents decreased by $1.2 million primarily due to $3.5 million million cash provided by operating activities, $3.6 million of cash used for capital expenditures, and $2.1 million repayment on our long-term debt.

Cash provided by operating activities was $3.5 million in the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 primarily due to a decrease in unbilled costs of $9.1 million, an increase in customer advance payments and unearned income of $11.4 million, an increase in reserve for uncertain tax positions of $11.4 million, and taking into account our net loss of $7.5 million adjusted by non-cash expense items of $10.3 million, but was partially offset by an increase in receivables of $10.3 million and a net decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses of $18.0 million. The decrease in unbilled costs was due to the completion of customer projects during the period. The increase in customer advance payments and unearned income was due to the timing of revenue recognition on several large contracts. Our accounts receivable increased during the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 primarily due to a larger volume of billings in the period. The decrease in accounts payable and accrued expenses was primarily due to the timing of disbursements. We also used $1.3 million in cash during the first two quarters of fiscal 2013 related to restructuring liabilities.

During the remainder of fiscal year 2013, we expect to spend approximately $7.5 million for capital expenditures primarily on equipment for development of new products and improvement of our information technology infrastructure which will enable more automated supply chain management and financial reporting and lead to process and cost efficiency and ability to scale our business. We currently believe that our existing cash and cash equivalents, the available line of credit under the SVB facility and future cash collections from customers will be sufficient to provide for our anticipated requirements for working capital and capital expenditures for the next 12 months and the foreseeable future. There can be no

assurance, however, that our business will generate cash flow, or that anticipated operational improvements will be achieved. If we are unable to maintain cash balances or generate sufficient cash flow from operations to service our obligations or liability for uncertain tax positions that may arise in the future, we may be required to sell assets, reduce capital expenditures, or obtain financing. If we need to obtain additional financing, we cannot be assured that it will be available on favorable terms, or at all. Our ability to make scheduled principal payments or pay interest on or refinance any future indebtedness depends on our future performance and financial results, which, to a certain extent, are subject to general conditions in or affecting the microwave communications market and to general economic, political, financial, competitive, legislative and regulatory factors beyond our control.

Available Credit Facility, Borrowings and Repayment of Debt

As of December 28, 2012, we had $23.8 million of credit available under our revolving credit facility with SVB. The total amount of revolving credit available was $40.0 million less $10.8 million in outstanding borrowings and $5.4 million in outstanding standby letters of credit issued under the SVB facility.

In an amendment to the facility effective November 2, 2011, the commitment of $40.0 million under the facility was extended to expire on February 28, 2014 and provides for (1) advance borrowings at the prime rate published in the Wall Street Journal, (2) fixed term Eurodollar loans for up to six months at LIBOR plus a spread of between 2.00% to 2.75% based on the company’s current leverage ratio, (3) a two-year term loan in the amount of $8.3 million at a fixed rate of 5% per annum expiring on January 31, 2014, and (4) the issuance of standby or commercial letters of credit. As of December 28, 2012, we had $6.0 million advance borrowings under the credit facility which we do not expect to repay within the next 12 months. The term loan drawn on January 30, 2012 is repaid in 24 equal monthly installments of principal plus accrued interest commencing February 29, 2012. The SVB facility contains a minimum liquidity ratio covenant and a minimum profitability covenant and is secured by certain of the company’s assets including accounts receivable, inventory, and equipment. The facility also imposes certain restrictions on our ability to pay dividends or make distributions to our stockholders under certain circumstances.

Based on financial covenants included as part of the amended SVB credit facility effective September 28, 2012, we must maintain, as measured at the last day of each fiscal quarter beginning September 28, 2012 through December 27, 2013, (1) no less than a minimum liquidity ratio of 1.50 to 1 (defined as the ratio of total domestic unrestricted cash and cash equivalents plus short-term and long-term marketable securities plus the lesser of 25% of eligible accounts receivable or $12.5 million to total obligations outstanding with the bank) and (2) minimum consolidated EBITDA measured for each fiscal quarter. As of December 28, 2012, we were in compliance with these financial covenants.

Restructuring Payments

We have a liability for restructuring activities totaling $1.4 million as of December 28, 2012, $0.9 million of which is classified as current liability and expected to be paid out in cash over the next 12 months. We expect to fund these future payments with available cash and cash flow provided by operations.

Contractual Obligations and Commercial Commitments

The amounts disclosed in our Fiscal 2012 Form 10-K include our commercial commitments and contractual obligations. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2013, no material changes occurred in our contractual cash obligations to repay debt, to purchase goods and services and to make payments under operating leases or our commercial commitments and contingent liabilities on outstanding letters of credit, guarantees and other arrangements as disclosed in our Fiscal 2012 Form 10-K. Please refer to Note 13, "Commitments and Contingencies" in this Form 10-Q. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2013, we recorded $11.4 million in our reserve for uncertain tax positions, as set forth in Note 11, "Income Taxes" in this Form 10-Q. As of December 28, 2012, we were not able to determine the timing of future payment on the uncertain tax position liability.

Critical Accounting Estimates

For information about our critical accounting estimates, see the “Critical Accounting Estimates” section of “Item 7. Management’s Discussion and Analysis of Financial Condition and Results of Operations” in our Fiscal 2012 Form 10-K.

Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk.

In the normal course of doing business, we are exposed to the risks associated with foreign currency exchange rates and changes in interest rates. We employ established policies and procedures governing the use of financial instruments to manage our exposure to such risks.

Exchange Rate Risk

We conduct business globally in numerous currencies and are therefore exposed to foreign currency risks. We use derivative instruments to reduce the volatility of earnings and cash flows associated with changes in foreign currency exchange rates. We do not hold nor issue derivatives for trading purposes or make speculative investments in foreign currencies.

We use foreign exchange forward contracts to hedge forecasted foreign currency transactions relating to forecasted sales and purchase transactions. These derivatives are designated as cash flow hedges and are carried at fair value. The effective portion of the gain or loss is initially reported as a component of accumulated other comprehensive income (loss), and upon occurrence of the forecasted transaction, is subsequently reclassified into the income or expense line item to which the hedged transaction relates. We also enter into foreign exchange forward contracts to mitigate the change in fair value of specific non-functional currency assets and liabilities on the balance sheet. All balance sheet hedges are marked to market through earnings every period. Changes in the fair value of these derivatives are largely offset by re-measurement of the underlying assets and liabilities.

As of December 28, 2012, we had foreign currency forward contracts outstanding with a total notional amount of $40.9 million consisting of 13 different currencies. The following is a summary of the notional amount of our outstanding contracts grouped by the underlying foreign currency as of December 28, 2012:



Currency	Notional Contract Amount (Local Currency)	Notional Contract Amount (USD)
	(In millions)
Australian dollar	3.9	$	4.1
Euro	3.4	4.5
Philippine peso	108.0	2.6
Polish zloty	31.2	10.0
Thailand baht	27.6	0.9
Republic of South Africa rand	116.0	13.6
Other currencies	N/A	5.2
Total of all currency forward contracts		$	40.9

Net foreign exchange gain (loss) recorded in our consolidated statements of operations during the second quarter and first two quarters of fiscal 2013 and 2012 was as follows:

A 10% adverse change in currency exchange rates for our foreign currency derivatives held as of December 28, 2012 would have an impact of approximately $3.1 million on the fair value of such instruments. This quantification of exposure to the market risk associated with foreign exchange financial instruments does not take into account the offsetting impact of changes in the fair value of our foreign denominated assets, liabilities and firm commitments.

Certain of our international business was transacted in non-U.S. dollar currency environments. As discussed above, we utilize foreign currency hedging instruments to minimize the currency risk of international transactions. The impact of translating the assets and liabilities of foreign operations to U.S. dollars is included as a component of stockholders’ equity. As of December 28, 2012 and June 29, 2012, the cumulative translation adjustment decreased our stockholders’ equity by $3.1 million and $4.0 million, respectively.

Interest Rate Risk

Our exposure to market risk for changes in interest rates relates primarily to our cash equivalents and long-term debt borrowings under our SVB credit facilities.

Exposure on Cash Equivalents

We had $94.8 million in total cash and cash equivalents as of December 28, 2012. Cash equivalents totaled $62.9 million as of December 28, 2012 and were comprised of money market funds and certificates of deposit. Cash equivalents have been recorded at fair value on our balance sheet.

We do not use derivative financial instruments in our short-term investment portfolio. We invest in high-credit quality issues and, by policy, limit the amount of credit exposure to any one issuer and country. The portfolio includes only marketable securities with active secondary or resale markets to ensure portfolio liquidity. The portfolio is also diversified by maturity to ensure that funds are readily available as needed to meet our liquidity needs. This policy reduces the potential need to sell securities in order to meet liquidity needs and therefore the potential effect of changing market rates on the value of securities sold.

The primary objective of our short-term investment activities is to preserve principal while maximizing yields, without significantly increasing risk. Our cash equivalents earn interest at fixed rates; therefore, changes in interest rates will not generate a gain or loss on these investments unless they are sold prior to maturity. Actual gains and losses due to the sale of our investments prior to maturity have been immaterial. The weighted average days to maturity for cash equivalents held as of December 28, 2012 was 2.8 days, and these investments had an average yield of 0.12% per annum. A 10% change in interest rates on our cash and cash equivalents is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows.

Exposure on Borrowings

During the first two quarters of fiscal 2013, we had $6.0 million of advance borrowings outstanding under our $40.0 million revolving credit facility that incurred interest at the prime rate. We also recorded interest on our $8.3 million long-term borrowing drawn on January 30, 2012 at the fixed rate of 5% per annum. During the first two quarters of fiscal 2013, our weighted average interest rate was 4.1% and we recorded total interest expense of $0.2 million on these borrowings.

A 10% change in interest rates on the current borrowings or on future borrowings is not expected to have a material impact on our financial position, results of operations or cash flows since interest on our borrowings is not material to our overall financial position.

Item 4. Controls and Procedures

Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures

We maintain disclosure controls and procedures that are designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed or submitted under the Exchange Act is recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in SEC rules and forms. Our disclosure controls and procedures include, without limitation, controls and procedures designed to ensure that information required to be disclosed in our reports filed under the Exchange Act is accumulated and communicated to management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, as appropriate to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosures. There are inherent limitations to the effectiveness of any system of disclosure controls and procedures, including the possibility of human error and the circumvention or overriding of the controls and procedures. Accordingly, even effective disclosure controls and procedures can only provide reasonable assurance of achieving their control objectives.

Management has conducted an evaluation, under the supervision and with the participation of the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, of the effectiveness of the design and operation of our disclosure controls and procedures (as defined in Rules 13a-15(e) and 15d-15(e) under the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the “Exchange Act”)). Based on this evaluation, the Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer concluded that our disclosure controls and procedures were effective as of December 28, 2012.

Changes in Internal Control over Financial Reporting

There has been no change in our internal controls over financial reporting during our most recently completed fiscal quarter that has materially affected, or is reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal controls over financial reporting.
