Notes to unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements
Note 1 — The Company and Basis of Presentation
QuickLogic Corporation ("QuickLogic" or, the "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 or IoT hardware products, 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"). Starting in late 2021, the Company increased its professional engineering services business related to its eFPGA products for both civilian and military applications. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SensiML Corp. ("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 1, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 28, 2023. Operating results for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023 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 third fiscal quarter for 2023 and 2022 ended on October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022, respectively.
2023 Cybersecurity Incident
On January 20, 2023, the Company detected a ransomware infection affecting a limited number of IT systems, including systems that contained personal information of our employees. Upon detection of the incident, the Company promptly began an assessment of all Company IT systems, notified law enforcement, and engaged legal counsel and other incident response professionals. Through counsel, the Company retained a leading cybersecurity forensics firm to review and investigate the incident. We have completed our forensic work and have found no impact on our financial systems. For potentially affected individuals or entities whose personally identifiable data may have been accessed, we are providing free credit monitoring services to them.
The Company is voluntarily taking steps to further secure its IT infrastructure, systems, and security. The Company believes the incident has not had nor will have a material impact on its business operations, ability to service its customers, or financial results. The Company carries insurance, including cyber insurance, commensurate with its size and the nature of its operations.
Liquidity
The Company has financed its operations and capital investments through the sale of common stock, finance and operating leases, a revolving line of credit with Heritage Bank (the "Revolving Facility"), and cash flows from operations. As of October 1, 2023, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $
The Company was in compliance with all the Revolving Facility loan covenants as of October 1, 2023. As of October 1, 2023, the Company had $
On April 28, 2023, the Company converted accounts receivable for a customer in the amount of approximately $
On March 21, 2023, the Company entered into common stock purchase agreements with certain investors for the sale of an aggregate of
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 as of October 1, 2023, together with its revenues from operations, and the available financial resources from the Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditures and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months.
Various factors 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 ArcticLink® and PolarPro® platforms, ArcticPro™, EOS S3 SoC, Quick AI solution, QuickAI™, SensiML Analytics Toolkit, Eclipse II products, and eFPGA IP licenses and professional services; 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 and 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 ability to capitalize on synergies with our subsidiary SensiML; 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, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from its Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank, 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 line of credit in December 2024, 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, and are insignificant for all periods presented.
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.
Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions in regard to revenue recognition; and the valuation of inventories including identification of excess quantities, market value and obsolescence.
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial statements. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our critical accounting estimates include revenue recognition and determination of the standalone selling price for certain distinct performance obligations (such as for IP licensing and professional services contracts) and the assessment of excess, obsolete, and unsaleable inventories. We believe that we apply judgments and estimates in a consistent manner and that such consistent application results in consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that fairly represent all periods presented. However, any factual errors or errors in these judgments and estimates may have a material impact on our financial statements. For additional information, please refer to the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023.
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 does not require collateral. See Note 10, Information Concerning Product Lines, Geographic Information and Revenue Concentration, for information regarding concentrations associated with accounts receivable.
As of October 1, 2023 and January 1, 2023, the Company had $
For instance, adverse developments affecting financial institutions, companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance, could adversely impact the stability of Heritage Bank, leading to additional financial risks for the Company.
Any material decline in available funding or our ability to access our cash, cash equivalents, and liquidity resources, inclusive of those at Heritage Bank, could adversely impact our ability to meet our operating expenses, financial and contractual obligations, or result in breaches of our contractual obligations. Any of these impacts could have material adverse impacts on our operations and liquidity.
Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
During the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023 there were no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies from its disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023. For a discussion of the significant accounting policies, please see the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 were reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications were within cash flows from operating activities with no impact to the net cash used in operating activities for the period.
Recent Accounting Standards Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. ASU No. 2020-06 becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2020-06 on January 2, 2023 and it had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions to clarify the measurement of the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and requires disclosures related to these types of equity securities. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures.
Note 3 — Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method. In computing diluted net income (loss) per share, the weighted average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and warrants. For periods in which the Company has reported a net loss, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. For periods in which the Company has reported a net income, diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is different from basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders as dilutive common shares would increase the amount of shares outstanding reduced by the amounts of treasury shares repurchased from the proceeds at the average market price for the period.

Note 6 — Leases
The Company's principal research and development and corporate facilities are leased office buildings located in the United States. These lease facilities are classified as operating leases and have lease terms of to years. The Company maintains sales offices out of which it conducts sales and marketing activities in various countries outside of the United States which are rented under short-term leases. The Company has elected the practical expedient to apply to recognition requirements to short-term leases and recognizes rent payments on short-term leases on a straight-line basis over the lease term. Finance leases are primarily for engineering design software and have leases terms of generally to years. Total rent expenses were $

Note 11 — Commitments and Contingencies
Commitments
The Company's principal contractual commitments include purchase obligations, re-payments of draw-downs from the revolving line of credit, and payments under operating and finance leases. Purchase obligations are largely comprised of open purchase order commitments to suppliers and to subcontractors under professional services agreements. Our risk associated with the purchase obligations under professional services agreements is limited to the termination liability provisions within those contracts, and as such, we do not believe they represent a material liquidity risk to us.
Certain wafer manufacturers require the Company to forecast wafer starts several months in advance. The Company is committed to taking delivery of and paying for a portion of forecasted wafer volume. As of October 1, 2023, the Company had no significant outstanding commitments for the purchase of wafer inventory.
Purchase Obligations
Purchase obligations represent contractual agreements to purchase goods or services entered into in the ordinary course of business. Purchase obligations are legally binding and amongst other things, specify a minimum or a range of quantities, pricing, and approximate timing of the transaction. Purchase obligations include amounts that are recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets, as well as amounts that are not recorded on the Company's consolidated balance sheets. As of October 1, 2023, total outstanding purchase obligations for other goods and services were $
Litigation
From time to time, the Company may become involved in legal actions arising in the ordinary course of business including, but not limited to, intellectual property infringement and collection matters. Absolute assurance cannot be given that any such third-party assertions will be resolved without costly litigation; in a manner that is not adverse to the Company’s financial position, results of operations or cash flows; or without requiring royalty or other payments which may adversely impact gross profit.

Overview
We develop low power, multi-core semiconductor platforms and IP for AI, voice, and sensor processing. The solutions include an eFPGA for hardware acceleration and pre-processing, and heterogeneous multi-core SoCs that integrate eFPGA with other processors and peripherals. The SensiML Analytics Toolkit from our wholly owned subsidiary, SensiML completes the “full stack” end-to-end solution with accurate sensor algorithms using AI technology. The full range of platforms, software tools and eFPGA IP enables the practical and efficient adoption of AI, voice, and sensor processing across Consumer/Industrial IoT, Consumer electronics, Military, Aerospace and Defense applications.
Our new products include our EOS™, QuickAI™, SensiML Analytics Studio, ArcticLink® III, PolarPro®3, PolarPro II, PolarPro, and Eclipse II products (which together comprise our new product category). Our mature products include primarily FPGA families named pASIC®3 and QuickRAM® as well as programming hardware and design software. In addition to delivering our own semiconductor solutions, we have an IP business that licenses our eFPGA technology for use in other semiconductor companies' SoCs. We began delivering our eFPGA IP product ArcticPro™ in 2017, which is included in the new product revenue category. Through the acquisition of SensiML, we now have an IoT AI software platform that includes SaaS subscriptions for development, per unit license fees when deployed in production, and proof-of-concept services – all of which are also included in the new product revenue category. We currently have a total of five patent applications pending.
Our semiconductor solutions typically fall into one of four categories: Sensor Processing, Hardware products consisting of Sensor Processing, Display Smart Connectivity, and eFPGA intellectual property and its associated tools. Our solutions include a unique combination of our silicon platforms, IP cores, software drivers, and in some cases, firmware, and application software. All of our silicon platforms are standard devices and must be programmed to be effective in a system. Our IP that enables always-on context-aware sensor applications includes our Flexible Fusion Engine, our Sensor Manager and Communications Manager technologies as well as IP that (i) improves multimedia content, such as our Visual Enhancement Engine, ("VEE"), technology, and Display Power Optimizer, ("DPO"), technology; and (ii) implements commonly used mobile system interfaces, such as Low Voltage Differential Signaling, ("LVDS"), Mobile Industry Processor Interface, ("MIPI"), and Secure Digital Input Output, ("SDIO").
Through the acquisition of SensiML, our core IP also includes the SensiML AI Toolkit that enables OEMs to develop AI software for a broad array of resource-constrained time-series sensor endpoint applications. These include a wide range of consumer and industrial sensing applications.
We also work with processor manufacturers, sensor manufacturers, and voice recognition, sensor fusion and context awareness algorithm developers in the development of reference designs. Through reference designs that incorporate our solutions, we believe mobile processor manufacturers, sensor manufacturers, and sensor and voice algorithm companies can expand the available market for their respective products. Furthermore, should a solution developed for a processor manufacturer or sensor and/or sensor algorithm company be applicable to a set of common OEMs or Original Design Manufacturers, ("ODMs"), we can amortize our Research and Development, ("R&D"), investment over that set of OEMs or ODMs. There may also be cases when platform providers that intend to use always-on voice recognition will dictate certain performance requirements for the combined software/hardware solution before the platform provider certifies and/or qualifies our product for use by end customers.
In addition to working directly with our customers, we partner with other companies that are experts in certain technologies to develop additional IP, reference platforms and system software to provide application solutions, particularly in the area of hardware acceleration for AI-type applications. We also work with mobile processor and communications semiconductor device manufacturers and companies that supply sensors, algorithms, and applications. For our sensor processing solutions, we collaborate with sensor manufacturers to ensure interface compatibility. We also collaborate with sensor and voice/audio software companies, helping them optimize their software technology on our silicon platforms in terms of performance, power consumption and user experience.
Our eFPGA IP are currently developed on 12nm, 16nm, 22nm, 28nm, 40nm, 65nm, 90nm, 130nm, and 250nm process nodes. The licensable IP is generated by an automated compiler tool, called AustralisTM, that enables our engineers to create an eFPGA IP for our licensees that they can then integrate into their SoC without significant involvement by QuickLogic. We believe this flow enables a scalable development and support model for QuickLogic. For our eFPGA strategy, we typically work with semiconductor manufacturing partners prior to this IP being licensed to a SoC company.
In order to grow our revenue from its current level, we depend upon increased revenue from our new products including existing new product platforms, eFPGA IP and platforms currently in development. We expect our business growth to be driven mainly by our silicon solutions, eFPGA IP and SensiML AI Software. Therefore, our revenue growth needs to be strong enough to enable us to sustain profitability while we continue to invest in the development, sales and marketing of our new solution platforms, IP, and software. We are expecting revenue growth primarily from eFPGA IP licensing and professional services in Q4 2023 and FY2024.
We continue to seek to expand our revenue, including pursuing high-volume sales opportunities in our target market segments, by providing solutions incorporating IP, or industry standard interfaces. Our industry is characterized by intense price competition and by lower margins as order volumes increase. While winning large volume sales opportunities will increase our revenue, we believe these opportunities may decrease our gross profit as a percentage of revenue.
During the third quarter of 2023, we generated total revenue of $6.7 million, an increase of 128% compared to the prior quarter, and an increase of 93% compared to the same quarter last year. Our new product revenue in the third quarter was $6.1 million, an increase of 173% from the prior quarter and an increase of 171% from the third quarter of 2022. The increase in new product revenue from the prior quarter was primarily driven by a $3.97 million increase in eFPGA professional services revenue, partially offset by a decrease of $119 thousand in hardware product revenue. Our mature product revenue was $0.6 million in the third quarter of 2023, a decrease of 17% compared to the prior quarter, and a decrease of 53% compared to the third quarter of 2022. We expect our mature product revenue to continue to fluctuate over time.
We devote substantially all of our development, sales and marketing efforts to our new eFPGA IP licensing and professional services and SensiML initiatives. Overall, we reported net income of $1.2 million for the third quarter of 2023, as compared to a net loss of $2.3 million in the prior quarter and a net loss of $1.3 million for the third quarter of 2022.
We have experienced net losses in recent years and expect losses to continue through at least fiscal year 2023 as we continue to develop new products, applications, and technologies. Whether we can achieve cash flow levels sufficient to support our operations cannot be accurately predicted. Unless such cash flow levels are achieved in addition to the proceeds we received from our recent sale of our equity securities, we may need to borrow additional funds or sell debt or equity securities, or some combination thereof, to provide funding for our operations, and such additional funding may not be available on commercially reasonable terms, or at all.
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 1, 2023 as filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023, provides additional information about our business and operations.
As of October 1, 2023, there have not been any material developments concerning the Cyber-Incident previously reported on our Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission ("SEC") on March 28, 2023. The Company's investigation is complete and there was no impact on the Company's financial systems. The Company believes the incident has not had nor will have a material impact on its business operations, ability to serve its customers, or financial results. See Note 1, The Company and Basis of Presentation.
As of October 1, 2023, the Company had one operating lease with a remaining lease term of 0.5 years. The operating lease relates to the Company's headquarters in San Jose, CA. On October 24, 2023, the Company renewed its lease at its current location for an additional three years. The amended lease term will expire on April 14, 2027 with no change in terms.
Critical Accounting Policies and Estimates
The methodologies, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require us to make difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our critical policies include revenue recognition, and determination of the Stand-Alone Selling Price ("SSP") for certain distinct performance obligations (such as for IP licensing and professional services contracts), and the assessment of excess, obsolete, and unsaleable inventories. We believe that we apply judgments and estimates in a consistent manner and that this consistent application results in our consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that fairly represent all periods presented. However, any factual errors or errors in these judgments and estimates may have a material impact on our financial statements. During the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023, there were no changes in our critical accounting policies from our disclosure in our Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023.

In the third quarter of 2023, gross profitincreased $3.5 million, or 206%, compared to the same quarter in the prior year. The increase in gross profit reflects a 93%increase in revenues combined with a 14% net decrease in cost of revenue. While there was a decrease in product costs resulting from lower devices volumes, the timing of certain professional services cost into the fourth quarter of 2023 had a favorable impact on third-quarter 2023 margins. We expect the impact from the timing of these costs will result in higher costs of revenue in subsequent quarters in 2023 and 2024, with a commensurate decrease in gross margins for those quarters. Additionally, certain tooling costs for the Company's eFPGA professional services projects were determined to qualify for capitalization. As a result, the Company capitalized $2.1 million related to tooling to be utilized under its long-term professional services contracts. The tooling will be depreciated over an estimated useful life of seven years. The capitalization of this tooling also contributed to a reduced cost of revenues for the current period as compared with prior periods, resulting in a favorable impact on gross profit for the third quarter of 2023.
Our semiconductor products have historically had long product life cycles and obsolescence has not been a significant factor in the valuation of inventories. However, as we continue to pursue opportunities in the mobile market and develop new solutions and products, our product life cycle will be shorter, and the risk of obsolescence will increase. In general, our standard manufacturing lead times are longer than the binding forecasts we receive from customers.

Research and Development
Our R&D expenses consist primarily of personnel, overhead and other costs associated with System on Chip (SoC) and software development, programmable logic design, AI and eFPGA development. The $0.9 million increase in R&D expenses in the third quarter of 2023, as compared to the third quarter of 2022, was attributable to increases in time and effort spent by engineering personnel on internal R&D projects in the current quarter.
Selling, General and Administrative
Our selling, general and administrative (SG&A) expenses consist primarily of personnel and related overhead costs for sales, marketing, finance, administration, human resources, and general management. The Company had a net, immaterial increases in S&GA expenses in the third quarter of 2023, as compared to the third quarter of 2022. This is primarily attributable to some increases in compensation costs offset with decreases in legal and accounting and audit expenses.

Interest expense relates primarily to our revolving line of credit facility and finance leases liabilities. Interest income and other income (expense), net, relates to net foreign exchange losses recorded, partially offset by interest earned in our money market accounts. Changes in interest expense are related to our revolving loan's interest rate variability. Interest expense for the third quarter of this year as compared to the same period in the prior year increased approximately $4 thousand which was comprised of a $10 thousand increase in interest expense related to software leases, a $8 thousand decrease in interest expense related to our revolving line of credit facility, and a $2 thousand increase in interest expense related to IT hardware financing costs. The change in interest income and other income (expense), net reflected decreased foreign exchange losses over the prior period.

In the nine months ended October 1, 2023, gross profitincreased $2.04 million, or 30%, as compared to the same period in the prior year. The increase in gross profit reflects an 13% increase in revenues combined with an 8% net decrease in cost of revenue. While there was a decrease in product costs resulting from lower devices volumes, the timing of certain professional services cost into the fourth quarter of 2023 had a favorable impact on year-to-date FY2023 margins. We expect the impact from the timing of these costs will result in higher costs of revenue in subsequent quarters in 2023 and 2024, with a commensurate decrease in gross margins for those quarters. Additionally, certain tooling costs for the Company's eFPGA professional services projects were determined to qualify for capitalization. As a result, the Company capitalized $3.86 million related to tooling to be utilized under its long-term professional services contracts. The tooling will be depreciated over an estimated useful life of seven years. The capitalization of this tooling also contributed to a reduced cost of revenues for the current year-to-date period as compared with prior periods, resulting in a favorable impact on gross profit for the nine months ended October 1, 2023.
Our semiconductor products have historically had long product life cycles and obsolescence has not been a significant factor in the valuation of inventories. However, as we continue to pursue opportunities in the mobile market and develop new solutions and products, our product life cycle will be shorter, and the risk of obsolescence will increase. In general, our standard manufacturing lead times are longer than the binding forecasts we receive from customers.

Balance Sheet Activities
Balance sheet amounts at October 1, 2023 compared to January 1, 2023 resulted from typical and usual activities in the normal course of business.
Total assets increased by approximately $4.0 million primarily due to the capitalization of $3.86 million in semiconductor tooling, an increase of $2.0 million in contract assets (due to the $14.9 million professional services contract signed later in the quarter), a $2.0 million decrease in accounts receivable due to an offsetting reclassification of $1.2 million in trade accounts receivable to a note receivable in other current assets with the remainder $0.8 million decrease due to collections activity, a $0.6 million decrease in cash, a decrease in device inventories of $0.4 million due to write-downs, and amortization of ROU assets in the amount of $0.3 million.
Liabilities increased by approximately $1.8 million due to an increase of $1.5 million in trade payables resulting from fulfilling revenue contracts with customers, and similarly for the $0.5 million increase in accrued liabilities offset by a net collective decrease of $0.2 million in lease liabilities and other non-current liabilities. Equity increased $2.1 million due to a $4.4 million increase in additional paid in capital arising from the sale of shares of common stock and recognition of stock-based compensation, offset by $2.3 million increase in its accumulated deficit from recurring losses.
Liquidity and Capital Resources
We have financed our operations and capital investments through public and private offerings of our common stock, finance and operating leases, and borrowings under a revolving line of credit and cash flows used in operations, partially offset by cash used in operations. In addition to the Company's cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $18.6 million, as of October 1, 2023, other sources of liquidity included a $15.0 million drawn down from our revolving line of credit ("Revolving Facility") with Heritage Bank of Commerce (“Heritage Bank”), and $2.3 million in net proceeds from the Company's sale of common stock on March 21, 2023. Costs related to the offering were immaterial. The Company's restricted cash balance as of October 1, 2023 was $0.1 million and relates to amounts pledged as cash security for the use of credit cards.
On April 28, 2023, the Company converted accounts receivable for a customer in the amount of approximately $1.16 million to notes receivable (the "Note"). At the time, the Note bore an interest rate of 3.0% compounded monthly. On June 28, 2023, the Company cancelled the original note and entered into a revised promissory note with the customer, where the interest rate changed to 4.69% compounded monthly, or a 4.8% effective annual interest rate, accruing from the date of the prior note. If not prepaid prior to the Note maturity date of June 28, 2024, the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable to the Company. If an event of default occurs, the interest rate will increase to 10.0%. All other terms of the note remained the same.
On September 14, 2022 and February 9, 2022, the Company entered into common stock purchase agreements with certain investors for the sale of an aggregate of 487,279 and 310,000 shares of common stock, respectively, par value $0.001, in registered direct offerings, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $3.2 million and $1.5 million, respectively. Issuance costs related to the September 14, 2022 and the February 9, 2022 offerings were immaterial. The purchase price for each share of common stock in the September 14, 2022 and in the February 9, 2022 placements were $6.57 and $4.78, respectively.
We were in compliance with all the Heritage Bank Revolving Facility loan covenants as of October 1, 2023. As of October 1, 2023, we had $15.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Facility with an interest rate of 9.00%.
We currently use our cash to fund our working capital to accelerate the development of next generation products and for general corporate purposes. Based on past performance and current expectations, we believe that its existing cash and cash equivalents, together with available financial resources from the Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank, will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditures and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months.
Various factors 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 and 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, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from its Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank, 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 line of credit in December 2024, 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.
As of October 1, 2023, most of our cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash were invested in a money market account at Heritage Bank. As of October 1, 2023, our interest-bearing debt consisted of $0.9 million outstanding under finance leases and $15.0 million outstanding under our Revolving Facility. See Note 5, Debt Obligations, to the unaudited condensed consolidated financial statements for more details.
Cash balances held at our foreign subsidiaries were approximately $0.15 million and$0.2 million as of October 1, 2023 and January 1, 2023, respectively. Earnings from our foreign subsidiaries are currently deemed to be indefinitely reinvested. We do not expect such reinvestment to affect our liquidity and capital resources, and we continually evaluate our liquidity needs and ability to meet global cash requirements as a part of our overall capital deployment strategy. Factors that affect our global capital deployment strategy include anticipated cash flows, the ability to repatriate cash in a tax-efficient manner, funding requirements for operations and investment activities, acquisitions and divestitures and capital market conditions.
In summary, our cash flows were as follows (in thousands):

Net cash used in operating activities
For the nine months ended October 1, 2023, net cash used in operating activities was $0.1 million, which was primarily due to the net loss of $2.3 million, adjusted for net non-cash charges of $4 million, which included $1.9 million of stock-based compensation, $0.7 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, $0.8 million in ROU asset amortization expenses, and $0.6 million in write-downs of inventories. Cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was approximately $1.0 million and was primarily due to a reclassification of a trade payable to a note payable, increases in contract assets, offset by increases in accrued liabilities and trade payables.
For the nine months ended October 2, 2022, net cash used in operating activities was $3.4 million, was was primarily due to the net loss of $3.0 million and a $27 thousand loss on the disposal of equipment, adjusted for net non-cash charges of $2.5 million, which included $1.3 million of stock-based compensation, $0.6 million in ROU asset amortization expenses, $0.5 million in depreciation and amortization expenses, and $0.1 million in write-downs of inventories. Cash outflow from changes in operating assets and liabilities was approximately $2.9 million and were primarily due to an increase in accounts receivable, reflecting an increase in revenues during the period, increases in inventory and other assets and a decrease in deferred revenue, partially offset by an increase in trade payables, which are subject to variability of the timing of payments.
Net cash used in investing activities
For the nine months ended October 1, 2023, and October 2, 2022 cash used in investing activities was $2.4 million and $0.6 million, respectively, which were primarily attributable to the capital expenditures relating to licensed software, capitalized internal-use software, and purchase of specialized semiconductor tooling.
Net cash provided by financing activities
Cash flows from financing activities include the draw-downs and repayments of our line of credit. For the quarters ended October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022, these draw-downs and repayments netted to zero.
For the nine months ended October 1, 2023, cash provided by financing activities was $2 million, which was primarily derived from the net proceeds of $2.3 million from the stock issuance, partially offset by finance lease obligation payments. We continue to use and repay our revolving line of credit as our cash needs require.
For the nine months ended October 2, 2022, cash provided by financing activities was $4.5 million and was primarily derived from the net proceeds of $4.8 million from the stock issuances, partially offset by finance lease obligation payments.
Part I. Financial Information (continued)
Off-Balance Sheet Arrangements
We do not maintain any off-balance sheet partnerships, arrangements or other relationships with unconsolidated entities or others, often referred to as structured finance or special purpose entities, which are established for the purpose of facilitating off-balance sheet arrangements or other contractually narrow or limited purposes.
Item 3. Quantitative and Qualitative Disclosures about Market Risk
Not Applicable.
Item 4. Controls and Procedures
Evaluation of Disclosure Controls and Procedures
Based on management's evaluation as of October 1, 2023, our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer have concluded that 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) were effective at the reasonable assurance level to ensure that the information required to be disclosed by us in this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q was (i) recorded, processed, summarized and reported within the time periods specified in the SEC's rules and regulations and (ii) accumulated and communicated to our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, to allow timely decisions regarding required disclosure.
Our management, including our Chief Executive Officer and Chief Financial Officer, does not expect that our disclosure controls and procedures or our internal controls over financial reporting will prevent all errors and fraud. A control system, no matter how well conceived and operated, can provide only reasonable, not absolute, assurance that the objectives of the control system are met. Further, the design of a control system must reflect the fact that there are resource constraints, and the benefits of controls must be considered relative to their costs. Because of the inherent limitations in all control systems, no evaluation of controls can provide absolute assurance that all control issues and instances of fraud, if any, within the Company have been detected.
Changes in Internal Control Over Financial Reporting
There were no changes in our internal control over financial reporting that occurred during the period covered by this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q that have materially affected, or are reasonably likely to materially affect, our internal control over financial reporting.
None.
There have been no material changes to the risk factors set forth in our 2022 Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023, which includes a detailed discussion of our risk factors at Part I, Item 1A, Risk Factors, which discussion is hereby incorporated by reference into this Part II, Item 1A.

Note 1 — The Company and Basis of Presentation
QuickLogic Corporation ("QuickLogic" or, the "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 or IoT hardware products, 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"). Starting in late 2021, the Company increased its professional engineering services business related to its eFPGA products for both civilian and military applications. The Company’s wholly owned subsidiary, SensiML Corp. ("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 1, 2023, which was filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (“SEC”) on March 28, 2023. Operating results for the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023 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 third fiscal quarter for 2023 and 2022 ended on October 1, 2023 and October 2, 2022, respectively.
2023 Cybersecurity Incident
On January 20, 2023, the Company detected a ransomware infection affecting a limited number of IT systems, including systems that contained personal information of our employees. Upon detection of the incident, the Company promptly began an assessment of all Company IT systems, notified law enforcement, and engaged legal counsel and other incident response professionals. Through counsel, the Company retained a leading cybersecurity forensics firm to review and investigate the incident. We have completed our forensic work and have found no impact on our financial systems. For potentially affected individuals or entities whose personally identifiable data may have been accessed, we are providing free credit monitoring services to them.
The Company is voluntarily taking steps to further secure its IT infrastructure, systems, and security. The Company believes the incident has not had nor will have a material impact on its business operations, ability to service its customers, or financial results. The Company carries insurance, including cyber insurance, commensurate with its size and the nature of its operations.
Liquidity
The Company has financed its operations and capital investments through the sale of common stock, finance and operating leases, a revolving line of credit with Heritage Bank (the "Revolving Facility"), and cash flows from operations. As of October 1, 2023, the Company's principal sources of liquidity consisted of cash, cash equivalents and restricted cash of $18.6 million, inclusive of a $15.0 million advance from its Revolving Facility, and $2.3 million in net proceeds from the Company's sale of common stock in the nine months ended October 1, 2023. The Company's restricted cash balance as of October 1, 2023 was $0.1 million and relates to amounts pledged as cash security for the use of credit cards.
The Company was in compliance with all the Revolving Facility loan covenants as of October 1, 2023. As of October 1, 2023, the Company had $15.0 million outstanding on the Revolving Facility with an interest rate of 9.00%.
On April 28, 2023, the Company converted accounts receivable for a customer in the amount of approximately $1.16 million to notes receivable (the "Note"). At the time, the Note bore an interest rate of 3.0% compounded monthly. On June 28, 2023, the Company cancelled the original note and entered into a revised promissory note with the customer, where the interest rate changed to 4.69% compounded monthly, or a 4.8% effective annual interest rate, accruing from the date of the prior note. If not prepaid prior to the Note maturity date of June 28, 2024, the principal and all accrued and unpaid interest will be due and payable to the Company. If an event of default occurs, the interest rate will increase to 10.0%. All other terms of the note remained the same.
On March 21, 2023, the Company entered into common stock purchase agreements with certain investors for the sale of an aggregate of 450 thousand shares of common stock, par value $0.001, in a registered direct offering, resulting in net cash proceeds of approximately $2.3 million. Issuance costs related to the offering were negligible. The purchase price for each share of common stock was $5.14. See Note 7 for additional information.
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 as of October 1, 2023, together with its revenues from operations, and the available financial resources from the Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank will be sufficient to fund its operations and capital expenditures and provide adequate working capital for the next twelve months.
Various factors 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 ArcticLink® and PolarPro® platforms, ArcticPro™, EOS S3 SoC, Quick AI solution, QuickAI™, SensiML Analytics Toolkit, Eclipse II products, and eFPGA IP licenses and professional services; 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 and 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 ability to capitalize on synergies with our subsidiary SensiML; 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, existing cash and cash equivalents, together with financial resources from its Revolving Facility with Heritage Bank, 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 line of credit in December 2024, 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, and are insignificant for all periods presented.
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.
Although these estimates are based on the Company’s knowledge of current events and actions it may undertake in the future, actual results may materially differ from these estimates and assumptions in regard to revenue recognition; and the valuation of inventories including identification of excess quantities, market value and obsolescence.
The methods, estimates and judgments we use in applying our most critical accounting policies have a significant impact on the results we report in our consolidated financial statements. The SEC has defined critical accounting policies as those that are most important to the portrayal of our financial condition and results of operations and require us to make our most difficult and subjective judgments, often as a result of the need to make estimates of matters that are inherently uncertain. Based on this definition, our critical accounting estimates include revenue recognition and determination of the standalone selling price for certain distinct performance obligations (such as for IP licensing and professional services contracts) and the assessment of excess, obsolete, and unsaleable inventories. We believe that we apply judgments and estimates in a consistent manner and that such consistent application results in consolidated financial statements and accompanying notes that fairly represent all periods presented. However, any factual errors or errors in these judgments and estimates may have a material impact on our financial statements. For additional information, please refer to the Company's most recent Annual Report on Form 10-K which was filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023.
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 does not require collateral. See Note 10, Information Concerning Product Lines, Geographic Information and Revenue Concentration, for information regarding concentrations associated with accounts receivable.
As of October 1, 2023 and January 1, 2023, the Company had $15.0 million of revolving debt outstanding with Heritage Bank; the revolving debt carried an interest rate of 9.00% and 8.00% per annum, respectively. Heritage Bank has a first priority security interest in substantially all of the Company's tangible and intangible assets to secure any outstanding amounts under the agreement. The Company was in compliance with all loan covenants under the agreement as of the end of the current reporting period. The maturity date for advances under the revolving debt agreement is December 31, 2024. At October 1, 2023, the Company had utilized a significant portion of the revolving debt, and as a result, it maintains a substantial amount of cash deposits with Heritage Bank. The concentration of cash with one financial institution poses certain risks.
For instance, adverse developments affecting financial institutions, companies in the financial services industry or the financial services industry, such as actual events or concerns involving liquidity, defaults, or non-performance, could adversely impact the stability of Heritage Bank, leading to additional financial risks for the Company.
Any material decline in available funding or our ability to access our cash, cash equivalents, and liquidity resources, inclusive of those at Heritage Bank, could adversely impact our ability to meet our operating expenses, financial and contractual obligations, or result in breaches of our contractual obligations. Any of these impacts could have material adverse impacts on our operations and liquidity. |

Note 2 — Significant Accounting Policies
During the three and nine months ended October 1, 2023 there were no changes to the Company's significant accounting policies from its disclosures in the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the year ended January 1, 2023. For a discussion of the significant accounting policies, please see the Annual Report on Form 10-K for the fiscal year ended January 1, 2023, filed with the SEC on March 28, 2023.
Reclassification
Certain amounts in the statement of cash flows for the nine months ended October 2, 2022 were reclassified to conform with the current period presentation. These reclassifications were within cash flows from operating activities with no impact to the net cash used in operating activities for the period.
Recent Accounting Standards Adopted
In August 2020, the FASB issued ASU No. 2020-06, Debt—Debt with Conversion and Other Options (Subtopic 470-20) and Derivatives and Hedging—Contracts in Entity’s Own Equity (Subtopic 815-40): Accounting for Convertible Instruments and Contracts in an Entity’s Own Equity, which address issues identified as a result of the complexity associated with applying generally accepted accounting principles for certain financial instruments with characteristics of liabilities and equity. ASU No. 2020-06 becomes effective for the Company on January 1, 2024. Early adoption is permitted, but no earlier than fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2020, including interim periods within those fiscal years. The Board specified that an entity should adopt the guidance as of the beginning of its annual fiscal year. The Company early adopted ASU No. 2020-06 on January 2, 2023 and it had no material impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or related disclosures.
Recent Accounting Standards Not Yet Adopted
In June 2022, the FASB issued ASU No. 2022-03, Fair Value Measurement (Topic 820): Fair Value Measurement of Equity Securities Subject to Contractual Sale Restrictions to clarify the measurement of the fair value of an equity security subject to contractual restrictions that prohibit the sale of an equity security and requires disclosures related to these types of equity securities. For public business entities, the amendments in this Update are effective for fiscal years beginning after December 15, 2023, and interim periods within those fiscal years. Early adoption is permitted for both interim and annual financial statements that have not yet been issued or made available for issuance. The adoption of this ASU is not expected to have an impact on the Company's consolidated financial statements or disclosures. |

| Notes to Financial Statements | |
| Earnings Per Share [Text Block] |
Note 3 — Net Income (Loss) Per Share
Basic income (loss) per share is computed by dividing net income (loss) by the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period. Diluted net income (loss) per share was computed using the weighted average number of common shares outstanding during the period plus potentially dilutive common shares outstanding during the period under the treasury stock method. In computing diluted net income (loss) per share, the weighted average stock price for the period is used in determining the number of shares assumed to be purchased from the exercise of stock options and warrants. For periods in which the Company has reported a net loss, diluted net loss per share attributable to common stockholders is the same as basic net loss per share attributable to common stockholders as dilutive common shares are not assumed to have been issued if their effect is anti-dilutive. For periods in which the Company has reported a net income, diluted net income per share attributable to common stockholders is different from basic net income per share attributable to common stockholders as dilutive common shares would increase the amount of shares outstanding reduced by the amounts of treasury shares repurchased from the proceeds at the average market price for the period.
For the three months ended October 1, 2023, 925 thousand shares of common stock associate with equity awards and the estimated number of shares to be purchased under the current offering period of the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan were outstanding. Of these, a 276 thousand share equivalent was determined to be dilutive and included in the computation of diluted net income per share for the period. Estimated proceeds for the dilutive shares were determined to be $147 thousand, which resulted in a reduction of dilutive shares by 4,672 using the treasury stock method at an average market price of $8.41.
For the nine months ended October 1, 2023 and the three and nine months ended October 2, 2022, 925 thousand and 398 thousand shares of common stock, respectively, associated with equity awards and the estimated number of shares to be purchased under the current offering period of the 2009 Employee Stock Purchase Plan were outstanding. These shares were not included in the computation of diluted net loss per share, as they were considered anti-dilutive due to the net losses the Company experienced during these periods. Warrants to purchase up to 386 thousand shares were issued in connection with the May 29, 2018, stock offering were not included in the diluted loss per share calculation of the periods presented as they were also considered anti-dilutive due to the net loss the Company experienced during these periods. The warrants were exercisable through May 29, 2023 at a price of $19.32 per share. The warrants expired unexercised on .

| Lessee, Operating and Finance Leases [Text Block] |
Note 6 — Leases
The Company's principal research and development and corporate facilities are leased office buildings located in the United States. These lease facilities are classified as operating leases and have lease terms of to years.

Commitments
The Company's principal contractual commitments include purchase obligations, re-payments of draw-downs from the revolving line of credit, and payments under operating and finance leases. Purchase obligations are largely comprised of open purchase order commitments to suppliers and to subcontractors under professional services agreements. Our risk associated with the purchase obligations under professional services agreements is limited to the termination liability provisions within those contracts, and as such, we do not believe they represent a material liquidity risk to us.
Certain wafer manufacturers require the Company to forecast wafer starts several months in advance. The Company is committed to taking delivery of and paying for a portion of forecasted wafer volume.
