Notes to Financial Statements
Organization, Consolidation, Basis of Presentation, Business Description and Accounting Policies [Text Block]	Note 1 — The Company and Basis of Presentation QuickLogic Corporation (“QuickLogic” or “Company”) was founded in 1988 and reincorporated in Delaware in 1999. The Company enables Original Equipment Manufacturers (“OEMs”) to maximize battery life for highly differentiated, immersive user experiences with smartphone, wearable, hearable, tablet and internet-of-Things (“IoT devices”), military, aerospace and defense products. QuickLogic delivers these benefits through industry leading ultra-low power customer programmable System on Chip (“SoC”) semiconductor solutions, embedded software, and algorithm solutions for always-on voice and sensor processing. The Company is a fabless semiconductor provider of comprehensive, flexible sensor processing solutions, ultra-low power display bridges, and ultra-low power Field Programmable Gate Arrays (“FPGAs”). The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SensiML Corporation (“SensiML”) provides Analytics Toolkit, which is used in many of the applications where the Company’s ArcticPro™, eFPGA intellectual property (“IP”) plays a critical role. SensiML Analytics toolkit is an end-to-end software suite that provides OEMs a straightforward process for developing pattern matching sensor algorithms using machine learning technology that are optimized for ultra-low power consumption. The accompanying interim condensed consolidated financial statements are unaudited. In the opinion of the Company’s management, these statements have been prepared in accordance with the United States generally accepted accounting principles (“U.S. GAAP”), and include all adjustments, consisting only of normal recurring adjustments, necessary to provide a fair statement of results for the interim periods presented. The Company recommends that these interim unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements be read in conjunction with the Company's Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2022, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 22, 2022. Operating results for the three and six months ended July 3, 2022 are not necessarily indicative of the results that may be expected for the full fiscal year. QuickLogic's fiscal year ends on the Sunday closest to December 31 and each fiscal quarter ends on the Sunday closest to the end of each calendar quarter. QuickLogic's second fiscal quarter for 2022 and 2021 ended on July 3, 2022 and July 4, 2021, respectively. COVID-19 - Impact on Business There have been no material changes due to the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic on our business from that disclosed in our most recently filed Annual Report. Our most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 2, 2022 as filed with the SEC on March 22, 2022 provides additional information about our business and operations. *Liquidity* The Company has financed its operations and capital investments through public and private offerings of our common stock, finance and operating leases, and borrowing under a revolving line of credit with Heritage Bank (the "Revolving Facility"), partially offset by cash used in operations. In addition to the Company's $18.5 million of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash, as of July 3, 2022 other sources of liquidity included a $15.0 million drawn down from the Revolving Facility and $1.6 million in net proceeds from the Company's sale of common stock in six months ended July 3, 2022. The Company was in compliance with all the Heritage Bank Revolving Facility loan covenants as of July 3, 2022. As of July 3, 2022, the Company had $15.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Facility with an interest rate of 5.25%. On February 9, 2022, the Company entered into common stock purchase agreements with certain investors for the sale of an aggregate of 310,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.001, in a registered direct offering. These share placements resulted in net cash proceeds of approximately $1.5 million. Issuance costs related to this offering were negligible. The purchase price for each share of common stock in this placement was $4.78. The Company currently intends to use the net proceeds from the financing for working capital, the development of next generation eFPGA-based products, including AI and open-source hardware or software, and general corporate purposes. The Company currently uses its cash to fund its working capital to accelerate the development of next generation products and for general corporate purposes. Based on past performance and current expectations, the Company believes that its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financial resources from the Revolving Facility, will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditures and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months. We continue to monitor our financial performance to ensure sufficient liquidity to fund operations and execute on our business plan. Various factors can affect the Company’s liquidity, including, among others: the level of revenue and gross profit as a result of the cyclicality of the semiconductor industry, the conversion of design opportunities into revenue, market acceptance of existing and new products including solutions based on its eFPGA IP, ArcticLink^®, and PolarPro^® platforms, eFPGA, EOS S3 SoC, Quick AI solution, and SensiML software fluctuations in revenue as a result of product end-of-life, fluctuations in revenue as a result of the stage in the product life cycle of its customers’ products, costs of securing access to and availability of adequate manufacturing capacity; levels of inventories; wafer purchase commitments; customer credit terms; the amount and timing of research development expenditures; the timing of new product introductions; production volumes; product quality; sales and marketing efforts; the value and liquidity of its investment portfolio; changes in operating assets and liabilities; the ability to obtain or renew debt financing and to remain in compliance with the terms of existing credit facilities; the ability to raise funds from the sale of equity in the Company; the issuance and exercise of stock options and participation in the Company’s employee stock purchase plan and other factors related to the uncertainties of the industry and global economics. Over the longer term, the Company anticipates that sales generated from its new product offerings and existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from its Revolving Facility, assuming renewal of the Revolving Facility or the Company entering into a new debt agreement with an alternative lender prior to the expiration of the Revolving Facility in December 2023, and its ability to raise additional capital in the public capital markets, will be sufficient to satisfy its operations and capital expenditures. However, the Company cannot provide any assurance that it will be able to raise additional capital, if required, or that such capital will be available on terms acceptable to the Company. The inability of the Company to generate sufficient sales from its new product offerings and/or raise additional capital if needed could have a material adverse effect on the Company’s operations and financial condition, including its ability to maintain compliance with its lender’s financial covenants. *Principles of Consolidation* The unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements include the accounts of QuickLogic and its wholly owned subsidiaries. All intercompany accounts and transactions have been eliminated. *Foreign Currency* The functional currency of the Company's non-U.S. operations is the U.S. dollar. Accordingly, all monetary assets and liabilities of these foreign operations are translated into U.S. dollars at current period-end exchange rates and non-monetary assets and related elements of expense are translated using historical exchange rates. Income and expense elements are translated to U.S. dollars using the average exchange rates in effect during the period. Gains and losses from the foreign currency transactions of these subsidiaries are recorded as interest income and other expense, net in the unaudited condensed consolidated statements of operations. *Uses of Estimates* The preparation of these unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements in conformity with U.S. GAAP requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities, the disclosures of contingent assets and liabilities and the reported amounts of revenue and expenses during the period. Actual results could differ materially from those estimates, particularly in relation to revenue recognition, the allowance for doubtful accounts, sales returns, valuation of long-lived assets including mask sets, valuation of goodwill, capitalized internal-use software and related amortizable lives, fair value measurements, and intangibles related to the acquisition of SensiML, including the estimated useful lives of acquired intangible assets, valuation of inventories including identification of excess quantities, market value and obsolescence, measurement of stock-based compensation awards, accounting for income taxes and estimating accrued liabilities. For additional information, please refer to the Company's most recent annual report which was filed with the SEC on March 22, 2022. *Concentration of Risk* The Company's accounts receivable is denominated in U.S. dollars and are derived primarily from sales to customers located in North America, Asia Pacific, and Europe. The Company performs ongoing credit evaluations of its customers and generally does not require collateral. See Note 9, Information Concerning Product Lines, Geographic Information and Revenue Concentration, for information regarding concentrations associated with accounts receivable.
